I was woken up in the middle of the night by the worst migraine I have had in my recollection. This sadly set the tone for the day. I was tired and didn't get the movement or tasks I had planned in. I didn't go crazy eating, but I did have M&Ms and half a blackberry ginger ale. I am feeling much better today though, so I will make up the steps, and I am back on my game food wise.3 -
2/17
Calories and protein were good yesterday and carbs were at 100g. I usually am much lower but am having some stressors happening lately and last night I just needed a little comfort. I kept it small so I feel good today. I recognize the trigger and see more in my future so this is something I’ll keep monitoring near term.
Ugh, the weather... I’ll be glad to see the backside of it!4 -

Ha, the shower I had to take afterwards probably would!

Calories, carbs, protein 👍🏻
Good day across the board for food and exercise. I’m not sleeping great and have a lot of extended work hours coming up so I’ll have to be careful not to reach for food I don’t need or be less planful. I AM going to end the month strong!6 -

The snow is melting and the yard is a mucky mess, and it's definitely time to be more active and less "snow day" in mentality.4 -

Second migraine of the week this afternoon, and I still got 10k steps in, and stuck to my planned meals. My go to for caffeine to help ease the migraines has typically been soda, but instead I took BC (or Goody's?) Headache powder which has caffeine in it, along with my usual medicine. Honestly I'm wiped and am counting the minutes until I can go to bed, but I am proud of myself for stating strong.3 -

I stepped on the scale this morning and it said I gained 10 lbs in 1 week ..I know that isn't possible but sure frustrating4

I had a day of voracious on-plan eating. Didn’t eat anything carby, but stopped trying to track at dinner. Feel much better today.
Steps✅ 11k— nothing to brag about.
Exercise❌—none, really
Miss my wine! I think it may act as an appetite suppressant.Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »2/19 Food on point and I walked 4.57 miles ....I have decided to stop weighing myself until I have hernia surgery (not sure when that will be ) I see my surgeon again this coming Thursday ...

Don’t let that crazy scale get you down! Maybe it needs new batteries?

Calories and carbs 😀
Protein was a bit low. I hit my move goal late in the day and didn’t get on the treadmill at all. I started a new 4 week exercise challenge that is making me sore so hopefully I see some good results. It’s mixing things up for me which is nice. I’m considering paying for an on demand service to have many other videos/programs at my disposal since I am a dedicated exerciser and think it will be used well. Maybe that will be on my March goals.5 -

Carbs, calories and protein at goal for the day. I had a big lunch thinking I may not be hungry later in the day. Nope, couldn’t be so lucky. But I did try a low carb noatmeal recipe that was quite good and will be in my lunch rotation when I don’t have a lot of time.
Also squeaked out my move goal even though I was feeling lazy from a busy work schedule.
I think a thaw is coming to Ohio today so I’m going to get out and take advantage of the 37 degree heat wave!5 -
Hey all! Been a tough and long three weeks on Aussie hours. Will come back in March, and will have to start my cut down C25K from scratch given recurring knee issues so will come back on March 1st with a shiny new set of goals!
And.. so looking forward to fresh food and not living off cup-soups and protein bars at 3am....
There is actually one more tournament in Australia but funnily enough my opinion to covering that in real time involved two words, with one end in 'off'!
See you in a week!6 -
2/20 Food was good and I walked 4.57 miles ....5

Calories and protein on track with carbs at 99g which is a bit higher than I try to eat. I finished off some cereal in the morning that contributed to the increase. The weather is improving so I got out for a 4 mile walk which was great. Cant wait for the snow to melt! I’m looking forward to weigh in tomorrow- not sure that I have lost but am keeping fingers crossed.5
