Good morning!
I just want to express how grateful I am that you're all here and participating. You are helping me stay accountable and I truly hope you're getting something positive from the group :smile:

run 3.5 (7x1)
Bigg *kitten* Salad
Focus on protein, fruits and veggies
Weigh and track everything!
Yoga with Adriene video to get my stretch on

Wednesday seems like a good day for #WeighInWednesday so be ready for that tomorrow!

How will you challenge yourself today?

    @3greyhorses yes, thanks for the group!!! 🌞 I swear y'all are the main reason I didn't go over my calories midnight snacking yesterday 😆 that was a close one!!

    I might look into those yoga with Adrien vids cos I miiiight have convinced my partner to do a video with me today since it's raining. I'd like to get my stretch on if I'm also going to try day 1 of C25K today, or at least a circuit training session 🦋

    @mrsshots2011 I got an air fryer a couple of months ago and I'm completely obsessed.. I haven't fried anything since I got it!!! Made some dumplings in there a few weeks ago OMG ❤️💜

    @nikitaarun sounds like you're set for an excellent day! That food sounds great, i was thinking about stuffed peppers last night.. mmm 🌈 good luck on your goals!!

    @jaderbacon you might consider changing something up to encourage you to drink more water. For example I got a massive *kitten* mug that fits twice what my old mug used to hold, and I've started adding the tiniest amount of random flavorings to the water (some natural, some artificial).. do you bring a nalgene with you to work? One thing I've been trying to work on is doing something the moment I think of it if it'll only take a couple of minutes (drinking 10 sips of water would count as this). Otherwise I end up with crazy random to-do lists that start to get overwhelming 💐 enjoy your self-care!! Remember you ALWAYS deserve it 🌞🌈

    @taxgirl1 that's great!!! Keep it up! 🏋️🏋️ Nothing compares to knowing your own strength and not settling for less 👏 it's windy and rainy here too at the bottom skirts of Iota, so I'm also really hoping to squeeze in a walk today 🤞🌈

    Yesterday I managed to not go over my calories (somehow) and only eat half of the pizza I made for dinner 🤓 didn't get much exercise though bc I ran out of time and then it got dark and rainy and I got too lazy to finish my video

    It's quite hard to motivate with all the winds and rain today...

    My goals for today are
    -make a big *kitten* soup
    -either C25K day one or a body weight circuit vid
    -yoga vid (convince partner Jamey to join me)
    -practice making a seitán tofurkey... and not eat too much of it

    Is *kitten* a different way to say the F word or something else entirely??
    :D

    @rayonrainbows I actually have a 32oz cup that I only use for water at work. I just am out of my office so often that I forget to drink. At home, I use MIO to flavor my water and that helps too. I don't mind water, honestly it's probably what I drink the most of anyways, but I am just slacking on hydration in general LOL. I wonder if there are any phone apps that are used for hydration that will remind me to stop and take a drink. I'll have to look!

    Today was a very windy and cold day. I mean howling wind and knocked down trash cans all day long. I walked my dog and overall I had more steps than Monday, but I ended up driving to the library (1.5 miles down the street) rather than walking as I planned. We have another walk in an hour and I think I’ll dress him up- he has short hair and shakes every few steps.

    My goals this week, for Tue 11/17
    - to only eat back 1/4-1/3 of the exercise calories and stop there ✅, 2/7
    - ride bike 2x 30 minutes, ❌, 0/2
    My 3rd was to cook/eat vegan food but I’ll do it every day anyway so I’ll just put a random act I do for the day and helps in this journey
    - did leg exercises today in my lunch break

    Ended up switching today to a swim day and will get my 3.5 mile run in tomorrow. I did run 1 mile to continue with my streak. Pretty good food choices and tracked everything. Ate back a few too many calories, but No beer or chips.
    Good night everyone.
