Very happy with this loss. I've been working so hard to stick within my calories and fat intake and my hard work is paying off. Yeay! 😁4 -
Feeding off the book that @azkunk is reading: Atomic Habits, I fond a couple of Youtube videos that discuss the premise and it is definitely motivating.
He says: "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity. "

Thanks for sharing, this is motivating and I'm going to listen to it while I work. I've noticed that I've slowly gotten out of the habit of exercising and yesterday's steps were so low - I know that happens sometimes, but I had so much couch time and felt like a slug. Little by little, I'm exercising less (due to hurt knee) and I know there are things I could substitute, I just haven't done it. I signed up yesterday for a 30 day free yoga challenge, 15 minutes a day, on youtube and that is my 1% change, for now.6 -
@TheresaM787 Good job getting that ride in and your bicycle story automatically made me think of the family dog - everyone wants one except Mom - they get the dog and Mom is the one who ends up feeding the dog. Both can be very positive situations! Do you have a good trail to ride?
@rwood566 Yes, I need to increase water, too! I'm trying to do my drinking before 1:00 pm...
@red1185 way to get those steps in!3 -

So, a good day yesterday with walking and eating. This morning I decided to splurge on hot chocolate, but it turned into hot chocolate plus bagel and cream cheese. I will have a hard time just making it under using my exercise calories which I usually try not to dip into.
Anyway, not too upset. It's pretty minor.
This is a long weekend of course which I will use for rest and catching up on a bunch of paper work. YAY! LOL Really, it will be nice to relax after the stress of last weekend! It wasn't much of a weekend.
Have a great day everyone!
BTW - I have "Atomic Habits" on hold at the library! It is soooo popular that I have been waiting forever!!! I hope I get it soon! I'd love to read it! Thanks for sharing @363days and @azkunk4 -

@red1185 way to get those steps in!
So true! They have been asking for a dog since the pandemic started 🤣. It’s a stationary bike, which helps me not use the weather as an excuse for not riding. When I ride outside, it’s more of a leisurely ride.4 -
Steps 11,664
Crazy day yesterday with painters and electrician here for the renovations and the kids last Wednesday at home. I had planned to not work out and go grocery shopping instead but ended up having to drive my daughter and her friends to volleyball. Grocery shopping is now on today’s agenda with various other renovation related tasks. I love doing renovations but they sure are a lot of work. Not sure if I will get to my work out today since it is raining here and there is crap piled in my workout spot for the painters.3 -
@Megan_smartiepants1970 3/31 steps 2,908. This is harder than I though. I'm trying to remind myself to get up & move!
@rwood566 & @lindamtuck2018 I love pepsi & Mt Dew. Unfortunately I do not like diet pops. I can deal with diet root beer if it's out of a fountain but still dont prefer it. I was drink a lot of pop. I'm down to 1-2 bottles a day (20 oz) but would like to eventually not drink any. I do get very bad headache when I dont have the caffeine. It is crazy how it can affect people different. I wish I could cut it cold turkey but I would be down for the count for a few days at least!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful April 1st! Mother Nature played an April fools joke on our area that spring really isnt here...woke up to everything being covered in snow. (My huskeys loved it!.....me not so much. Lol)3 -
@kdlgiannoulis
It is good that you are practicing mindfulness. It is an important part of weight loss.
@red1185
Great steps! You should be proud!
@rwood566
Well done on those goals! Just think of all the extra steps you will get running to the washroom so drink away.
@azkunk
Great job on the goals!
@roz0810
Awesome loss!
@363days
I am going to order the book later but I am going to check out these videos in the meantime.
@lelbarou
You are killing it with the steps. Maybe you can have a lighter lunch to offset this morning’s calories. I have been buying the blue menu bagels lately. They are fairly low in calories and so yummy. I like to walk to Tim Hortons to get a tea sometimes. I have a hard time resisting a tea biscuit or croissant but I will give in every now and then.
@rlaskey2
Definitely sounds like a busy day. Maybe you could do a Leslie Sansone walking video if you have time. I know some of the girls in the group like them.
@missysave0612
Giving up pop is very hard. I had to wean myself off it. I got headaches if I went cold turkey. I drank a ton of coke. I first switched from bottles to cans. At the end I switched to mini cans and eventually stopped all together. I do have one on the weekends now but I have to buy just one.

I'm trying to come up with some goals for April...something SMART? Hmmm 🤔?0
-
Goal for April:
--daily mini-workout--
...in addition to...not instead of...any other exercise 😉
10 push-ups (modified)
10 tri-cep dips
10 squats
It should be easy enough to commit to for 30 days--less than 5 minutes a day, no equipment, no excuses! 🙂
