Steps 1904
Now that Monday is here and hubby goes back to work, Maybe I can get back to what I should be doing. Him only working 3 days for the past 2 weeks, I am ready for a break from him.
I'm not sure if I am the only one who ever worries about working out or even walking on the treadmill in front of their spouse/SO. I used to not that self conscious- heck back in the day, me and two friends got rules switched in PE/Gym class where we were able to go lift weights with the guys while the girls were suppose to learn gymnastics. That was back when I was skinny though, now that I think of it, that probably helped me stay skinny in High school.3 -

I'm not worried about tallys, I just do it to be part of something bigger then myself. It's all good. 3 -

Congratulations to @littleflutterby, @Bluetail6 and @Tazaria87.
I fell down twice this morning and rapped my chin against my dresser. Am nursing a mild concussion. Think I need to talk to my doctor about my blood pressure medication. Will try to get moving tomorrow.
Enjoying reading everyone's introductions. Let's make 2021 a year for positive changes.
Thank you, Beautyofdreams!! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to mention me, with all you have been through. Please take it easy. Also, do talk to your doctor. Again, thank you. Lee1 -
@lindamtuck2018
I do hope you start feeling better and better. I now have 2 close friends who survived C-19 so far... They are doing well with a few residual symptoms. One was out 10 days. The other for a month. I'm just glad that treatment, etc. seems so much better than when C-19 first hit.

Morning all,
Congrats everyone for December's win! Here for Monday check in. As you know a new meal plan for me has started from today, the breakfast actually wasn't too bad. I think it's going to take time to get used to for a few reasons but, I do feel hopeful about it. It will be easier when I start my new job as if I'm in the office, I won't have access to food in the same way as I do now. I think I'm still adjusting from the eating on New years combined with the fact TOM is imminent.. I was 254.8 yesterday.
Today I also started filling in a calorie counting food diet diary too https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B081S2MYGN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got it as a kickstart, I love how it's set out.. in hindsight should of bought a longer duration one, not sure why the company chose 7 weeks as a duration. I've since seen they do 3 and 6 month ones on their website (calorie counting, SW and WW friendly ones) so, that may be a option for me to consider when the 7 weeks are finished. However, I am also thinking I could buy a nice quality notebook and jazz it up myself with different colour pens and stickers for a fraction of the price that it would cost me to cover the rest of this year.
The SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely) goals I've set within it for the 7 weeks are:
- Exercise at least 3 times a week in addition to any walking etc
- Stay hydrated with water
- Look for non scale victories
- Be mindful of what are you eating
- Take each day, one at a time.
Non scale goals:
- Improve physical strength
- Gain more self confidence from losing weight
- Gain more energy
- Feel better physically and mentally
Have a great week everyone

Wow 7 pages worth of messages! What an active team!
I read most of you but too much to reply to at this point. I will start replying as of today.
I’m back “on it” as of last Saturday. I was so disappointed in my weigh in as it just showed I had an 8.2 lb gain for the whole of 2020. I’m so disappointed about this but I know I can come back from it. So I’ve worked out everyday since then. Started the C25K program again and plan on getting back on my virtual Zumba classes.
I’ve tried logging my food and start off ok but then completely lose track and stop logging. I figure it’s ok. One step at a time. I’m getting my workouts in again and next I’ll focus on water habits again then food logging. I have cut back on my intake and started making healthier choices again I’m just not good at logging it all.
Sorry for my late step count. @Megan_smartiepants1970 here are my steps. It’s ok if they don’t count toward the tally.

Good morning!!!
It´s freezing here brrrr
I found a tiny moment to get in and I saw that you already wrote 7 pages WOW Impressive!! Great chatty team
Today I did something absolutely out of my comfort zone. I called to the hospital to make an appointment with the Obesitas department, all of it in Dutch and I must say after doing it I felt awesome for being able to do it.
I must also say that in the middle of my chaotic days, the first of January a friend called me that she was having a sort of job opportunity for me. And even if I am not making money with it, I am helping to a restaurant to get on their feet using my marketing and management skills. And it feels good to use the knowledge
My steps are almost NADA but I hope they will go better. I managed to do the 8.000 though
@Megan_smartiepants1970
29/12/2020 11.516 steps
30/12/2020 6.164 steps
31/12/2020 5.766 steps
1/1/2021 8.106 steps
2/1/2021 8.332 steps
3/1/2021 8.667 steps
And my weight started ugly but I promise myself it will go better. At the moment today it is 134.1 kg = 295.6 lbs @lindamtuck2018
I hope you all started full of good intentions and I recommend you to watch Dead to 2020 in Netflix to laugh a bit8 -
