Mindful eating, since I've been eating obsessively for the past week, I'm going to have a hot mint tea and set my Alexa timer to 20-30 minutes, then ask myself if I'm really feel hungry after it goes off.6 -

CONGRATS ALL!🎉👏😁 You've been working so hard during such a tough time, it's so impressive to me.2 -
Hi Linda. This is in answer to the above question:
To allow myself to just feel how I am feeling and accept myself no matter what.
I'm working on that...4 -
OOPS. I think I misread the POST. You said little thing.
The above thing I'm working on is pretty big and it's a long-term goal.
Hmm. So. I will say thinking about what exercise I can do indoors when it's too icy outside...4 -

Instead of soothing myself with food I am going to distract myself by playing a game on my iPad.4 -

I am going to try and get more sleep. In bed before midnight every night. Sometimes, especially when I am on a closing shift, it is hard for me to wind down enough to get sleepy enough to go to get my butt to bed.
I'm also going to shower every night (I did that for a while and it helps me sleep) with the exception of tomorrow night, because we are getting our bathroom done and apparently it's a 2 day job -_-5 -
Tracked Yes mostly
Under calories No
Steps 13089 tracked
Exercise leg strength workout & 10 rounds boxing workout
I doubled up my workouts after my rest day Saturday. Eating was ok still snacking too much and giving up on tracking around dinner. Made Greek gyro’s from the skinnytaste meal prep cookbook. 3 out of 4 off us liked them, my 10 year old has become super picky.3 -
Today's steps: 16,000
(Technically, 8,922 however I am going to double that number and I will tell you why!)
Today was, of course, medical Monday but today has been the most insane out of any day I have ever had in nursing, (and that includes my work in New York when this COVID stuff first hit) First off, we were busy as can be and then make matters worse, our sister hospital went on diversion so ALL of their patients on top our patients came to us which had every room in the house full. We very rarely leave patients in the waiting room, especially now with COVID, but we had 8 out there when I left. I will easily say that AT LEAST 75% of my patients were COVID positive. With that being said, I do not take my phone with me into patient rooms to prevent contamination so my phone was not on me very much at all. I was actually shocked to see how many steps I had outside of COVID rooms because it was starting to feel like I had become the COVID queen! Anywho, I did get a GSW and some other crazy stuff so that makes sense that I got around 8,000 steps with those.
I did a 20 hour fast today. It was totally unintentional but we were so crazy that we didn't get to take lunches. Soooooo, the first opportunity I had, I grabbed my cottage cheese and fruit just to get something in my system. Tomorrow I am going to pack some blueberries, grapes, and strawberries just to have something I can eat on the go.
Anywho, stress-wise I feel pretty good. I came home and took a longgggg HOT shower and just kinda washed all the negativity away. I put some meditation soundtrack that I found on youtube while I did and just kinda dimmed the light with the shower curtain and really feel relaxed. It was much needed for sure! I am hoping that tomorrow I will wake up and not be too drowsy though because I left work feel BEAT!
I hope everyone has a great night! Just one more shift at the hospital tomorrow and then I am off (at least from the hospital) until Saturday! See ya'll later!4 -
"I just ordered a standing desk. Yay!"
I have a standing desk, and absolutely love it. It has a pneumatic lift, so I can adjust it to the perfect height. I ordered one for my husband as an early Xmas/birthday present. I hope you love it!!
I hope so too. I'm looking forward to it. It also is an early Xmas gift - I told my husband he could give it to me - lol.2 -

Specific to this week? Manage my stress level! My cortisol must have been through the roof this past week or so. I need to get a handle on that for sure. I think the meditation in combination with the long, hot shower definitely helped and I feel refreshed now.

Monday 11/23 = 10,042 steps
I walked to my new chiropractor's office today. She is a different type of chiropractor - she uses the Cox method. I don't really know what that is, but I feel great today.
My calorie intake was good too.
I also drank a lot of water.
So - overall it was a great day with one small exception.
My dog is very old, and we now have her sleeping in a kennel because she loses control some nights. Arghhh! I was the first one by her today, so I got the joy of cleaning both her and the kennel. NOT a good way to begin the day.

Nov 23rd Check in
* Track food ✅
* Stay under calorie goal ✅
* Not restrict ✅
* Drink 2L water minimum ✅
Exercise sessions this week- 1 (goal of 4)
Steps- 13,231
Rocked another 45 min on the dancing tonight. I could've done more but I had somewhere I needed to be for 9, but I have 3 days off so.... can get those exercises in in the evening, or in the morning if i am up early enough!
Tomorrow we are getting a new bathroom! it was just going to be a 1 day job on wednesday but since it's not just a new bath but the WHOLE THING, it's gonna be 2 days. I'm pretty bummed because I have 3 days off and I was really craving some quiet and solitude.... the gods have other plans i guess. I also have to miss my zoom therapy session tomorrow because of the workers. That really sucks.
But, I am planning on going to bed early tonight- right after this I am going to unwind, shower, and then head to bed. If I get up around 7 or so, I can have a shake and exercise (after weigh in of course)
This week has been fully on track, but because my TOTM finally got here, I feel bloated and a little gross. of course, the last week of the challenge and I am probably at my heaviest in terms of bloating- but I might be wrong! I just feel fat today
Anyhoo- I am going to strongly consider upping my steps for the challenge next month, especially since I can exercise at home so easily. I have no excuses! When I can use the wii fit board even more so- it's fun to do the free step workout while watching tv- i used to do that all the time.
I will touch base in the morning since it is weigh in day *eek*. I have really tried to make this week count so we shall see! My lowest weight in the last 3-4 years was 322.8 and I would LOVE to get there by the end of next month. I know, I am projecting. AND I know how important it is to set smaller goals.... off the top of my head I have these...
322.8lb- lowest weight in a long time
315- the weight I was when I started Slimming World
twoterville - or whatever you call it lol
275lb- the half-way mark
onederland
175lb- final target
Anyway I'm blabbing. I am going to get in the shower now, prep my clothes for tomorrow and head to bed- busy day tomorrow
Have a good, safe night all
