    Tuesday’s check in
    Calories: over
    Water: ✅
    Sleep:❌
    Steps: 6,649
    DBF: 0

    Thanks for all the advice on moving! Yesterday I had what I like to call a slight binge. I stopped myself before I got too crazy. Still a positive! The really good part of yesterday was I went for a nice walk. I walked to the mini department store which is about 15 minutes away. I browsed around for awhile and walked back. Other than the numbness in my foot the pain bearable. It didn’t get bad until later in the afternoon when the swelling increased. I am off soon to get an X-ray of my hip and a Doppler to make sure I have no blood clot in my leg. I thought this was checked when I had the ultrasounds done but it wasn’t ordered for some reason.

    I need to know is anyone as excited for tomorrow as I am! The season premiere of Grey’s is happening to a tv near you!

    Happy Hump Day!

    Weekly goals
    1. Stay within calorie goal
    2. Drink 70 ounces of water
    3. Sleep 7.5 hours daily
    4. No binge eating/late night snacking

    Great job stopping the binge. That’s definitely a positive thing and shows you are gaining control.

    Daily Post November 10
    Tracked Yes
    Under Calorie Yes
    Water 128oz
    Steps 6256
    Exercise 40min treadmill

    My steps have been a little low the past couple days. I've been having a hard time with wanting to move with it being so cold outside. And the treadmill is just so boring haha. Maybe I'll try a long walking video again instead.

    I felt the same way yesterday. It was chilly here for us and I just wanted to wrap up in a cozy blanket and chill

    Hi🖐 my name has disappeared from the spreadsheet in the step challenge 😱
    The steps I think are there

    I erased it to put in your step pledge and forgot to add it back ... it is all fixed now and all your steps were already there ...Sorry about that :)

    @lindamtuck2018
    Nice check in! I did a program before I had my knee replacement. It basically gave us exercises to help strengthen everything around the knee. I wonder if this is the same thing. It was close to 5 years ago so my brain is foggy.

    Thanks Linda! I imagine it's the same program. I have 12 exercise type classes where we do exercises for the knee in a group (only 3 people because of Covid. I haven't started yet, but it begins next week. I hope you found it useful. I think I will need a knee replacement at some point as my knees are not in good shape.

    I hope you had a good day! Congratulations on your new apartment! Moving is always hard, but I'm sure it will be worth it!

    Woops, I thought I pledged before November that my goal is 6K steps a day. No worries at all. If you don't mind, add me to the spread sheet. I have been posting my steps here. If it is any easier for you, I can go back to 11/1 and post those previous steps when I post my steps for today. That way you don't have to scour through all the previous posts :)

    You are already on the spreadsheet I have all your steps ...I didn't have your goal of 6000 on the spreadsheet... I apologize

    No apology necessary!! All good, and thank you :):)

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 -11/10 4813 11/9 10331 Thanks for all the work you do keeping track of this!
    I am having a tough time posting every day, it seems like when I got off schedule over the weekend getting back on schedule hasn't happened, yet. I've gotten to bed 2-3 hours later than usual for 3 nights in a row and I can tell that not sleeping enough has affected my eating. Plus, I really didn't feel like walking today (poor pups) so the steps are grocery store steps and bathroom breaks. With it getting dark early I see that I'm wimping out and not walking if it is dark. I'm getting them in early tomorrow. I did go back and read all of the postings I've missed and I just love hearing about everyone's progress, exercise habits, new apartments, moving tips, and more! I hope your day was good and have a great Thursday

    One more thing (then I promise I'll stop clogging the page here LOL). Thank you to @lindamtuck2018 (for everything you do) and for the weekend challenge, particularly the "take time for yourself part". I decided to make that a daily goal this week and so last night I took a nice long salt bath and OMG this morning I felt incredible! THANK YOU!

    11/11
    Steps = 10,177
    But it is COLD outside! I saw a friend while I was walking & even though I don’t see many friends these days I couldn’t chat long - I was shaking. We had beautiful weather for a week & now we’re back to normal November weather - brrrr.
    Calories- good day today!
    Relaxation??? Bad - Somedays I work too much & today was one of those days.
    Water - good!
    Planning to make minestrone soup tomorrow- healthy & delicious!

    Nov 11th Check in

    * Track food ✅
    * Stay under calorie goal ✅
    * Not restrict ✅
    * Drink 2L water minimum ✅
    Walks this week- 1 (goal of 3)

    Steps 10,000 (I am a bit short but that's what it's going to be before bed lol)

    Today was a good day food wise. Made an old slimming world recipe- diet coke chicken, had that with some rice.

    I looked at my calories and feel like I didn't eat enough. But I made a promise not to eat after 8 so... I'll be ok til tomorrow. It wasn't restricting, I have just been busy and the food has been enough.

    Tomorrow I have plans with a friend to get a pedi! Very exciting stuff. Then going to the dentist to get my teef cleaned (not so exciting)

    Hoping to get a walk in at some point tomorrow, since I am back to work on Friday!

    This is going to be a quick post. Last night our freezer/refrigerator stopped working. By the time I noticed it, Things were melting in the freezer. Anyway, we have a freezer and refrigerator in the garage, but it is stuffed cause we just did a big shopping trip last weekend. Between last night and today, we have the inside freezer working as a refrigerator. Dinner should be interesting..... beef & pork curry, anyone? It will be just fine. Our repair guy, incidentally named Guy, will be here Friday. Oh yeah, did I mention my truck? Well, that is another post, lol.

    Why didn't I notice the leaking freezer earlier.... Because I am teaching my self not to constantly go in/out of the darn thing!! For me, that is great news :D:D

    Hahahaha it is tricky but I can imagine that you will be thinking oh yeah! That's good news baby! I didn't check you out!
    Now is the moment to get over the top creative with he food.
    You can practice until Friday.
    Guy apparently is a typical DUtch name

    Its incredible how not sleeping or sleeping worse affects to our bodies. Your grocery store and bathroom steps are quite some already😉 You will do more as soon as you improve your sleeping.
