My December Goals: (12/20 - 12/26)

Stay under my calorie goal every day (of course, track every.single.thing) ✅✅✅
<50g net carbs per day ✅✅✅
15k steps every day(I'm raising this through the end of the year!❌✅✅
40 mins walking ❌✅✅ 40 mins on the treadmill which included my c25k (w5d1)
20 mins some other exercise (other than walking!) ❌✅✅ 20 mins of yoga.
Weight Goal: to lose 9 lbs in Dec.
SW: (12/01) 184.7
CW:178.5 (*Yippee!)
GW: (12/25) 175.0 - (My first mini goal is to weigh in at 175 on Christmas Day 2020)

Yesterday (12/22):

(1) Logged and under goal -- check.

(2) Eat 80ish g net carbs (maybe lower) and at least 85 g protein -- 70 g net carbs and 90 g protein.

On food related topics, I ended up eating dinner late yesterday (leftovers, so it didn't matter), because I was watching a cooking class I signed up for from a local business (one of those things that would have been live pre covid but are now virtual) re a Christmas Eve 7 Fishes menu, except in light of the smaller Christmases expected, it was only 3 fishes (clams, mussels, and bronzino). The class was cook-along, which I thought was weird (and didn't expect when I originally signed up, but watching the others and seeing the questions they had was helpful), since my plan was to be inspired for Christmas Eve. Anyway, this is what I'm doing for Christmas Eve, and it won't be especially low carb (which my sister will appreciate, as she's all about the bread and pasta). My own plan is to have the bronzino later in the week or maybe for NYE (that dish will be low carb), and have the third fish dish be a smoked salmon appetizer. We are still discussing Christmas itself.

(3) Over 10K steps and all rings closed -- check, over 11K (days I go to the office tend to be harder with steps, despite a short walk and some household tasks -- guess it's not as far from my back door to the alley as I like to think, as I brought out a bunch of boxes to recycle).

(4) Did planned workout -- yes, but pretty light day: bike trainer for 20 min, plus a walk.

(5) Morning meditation/evening journal -- yes.

12/22 Food on point and we walked 5.15 miles in the fog

Another multi day check in for me, I think last I updated was Sunday

Have gotten in some really good walks this past week, though last night's neighbourhood walk to see Christmas lights was a bit foolish due to length. I was determined not to drive, it's not the same, and could have done a lovely and perfectly satisfying circuit of around an hour, which would have been fine, but decided to go see one (that ended up not that great) that was walkable for healthy me, now not so much...walk ended up 100 minutes, I got to bed very late (downside of Christmas in summer), and paid for it today. A two hour nap late afternoon seems to have picked me up again though, fingers crossed. Wednesday was the only day I didn't go for a walk.

Food all good. Still slightly behind on total deficit for the week due to Sunday's maintenance day, but still tomorrow to go, so I may make it up.

Christmas day was uneventful, just me and the cats. They were/are completely uninterested in their new toys. Ingrates. I was going to make mushroom and spinach pie for dinner (first thing with eggs since the eczema outbreak), but due to the falling asleep that didn't happen.

Oh! And hit my 8kg total loss mark this morning

Yesterday (12/24) was lots of fun.

(1) Logged and under goal -- I logged as normal prior to dinner and then this morning I tried to replicate dinner (I cooked, but didn't measure or specifically track what I ate). I am, of course, over my normal goal, but if my estimates are on point, it was around maintenance.

(2) Eat 80ish g net carbs (maybe lower) and at least 85 g protein -- again, I don't trust my logging, but I have around 150 g net carbs (mainly french bread and linguine) and 120 g protein.

(3) Over 10K steps and all rings closed -- check, over 14K (and I felt tired than that from all the cooking).

(4) Did planned workout -- did planned 30 min run (despite it being cold, but it felt fine when I started running). Had intended to look at some online pilates videos, but did not end up having time.

(5) Morning meditation/evening journal -- yes, although I was so tired last night I did the evening stuff this morning.

Dinner was the mini Feast of the 3 (rather than 7) Fishes -- appetizers of mussels with french bread to sop up the sauce, some cucumbers with cream cheese and smoked salmon, and then linguine with clams, zucchini, mushrooms, and asparagus, in a cream sauce. All delicious and we were very full (I have leftover linguine), and didn't even think about any dessert after. In keeping with the Italian theme, dinner also was a very leisurely affair. I suspect we will have dessert today (but will report back after).

I didn't make it to my first mini goal..... but I'm not going to be discouraged. I'm gonna regroup and plan for New Years Day instead. Then it'll be on to my next mini goal.
