@ashleymullo6195 Are you feeling better today, Ashley?

Hello yes I'm better thankyou for asking forgot to pop on and write my daily on here

Daily accountability TBBT
Day: Wednesday November 3
Track: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes

Had to adjust today while traveling. Barely made the under cal thing. Eating on the fly with hubs is harder than alone... and even worse when they get the order wrong and your semi good choice is replaced with a duplicate of his order but we are already back on the road when I get to check the bag cause " oh... it will be right" Ugghhh.
Thankful for college towns.. lots of walking that can get done! Which helped with so e extra steps. Still not reaching my goal yet but i will get there.

Nov. 3
Track: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes.. very light exercise as I was still feeling a little dizzy from the flu shot. Walked to the park with my daughter and played some softball, then took the dog for a walk around the block. For spending most of the day laying down, my step count wasn't too bad: 9,051. My goal is to break 10,000 today as I feel much better and finally got a good night's sleep.

Happy Friday eve to my TBBT crew!!

Sorry been mia. We had a huge storm last week. Eating and logging didn’t keep track.

@gsheppy Hope you survived the storm and glad that you're still with us!

I've been here for awhile but I feel like I haven't really started my weigh loss journey. As I am still the same weight I was the first time I joined TBBT a long time ago. Although I have not really lost weight I feel like being here has kept me in check enough to gain a larger amount.
I looked up beginning a weight loss journey and the first thing that comes up is to know your why. So, I ask you TBBT - What is your why?
Please share what made made you decide to begin this journey, what motivation do you have?
Some of you have already mentioned this in your introduction posts. Some of us that have been in this challenge for awhile have already shared their "why" before, and if you have I encourage your to share with the new members or to even re-evaluate your motivations to continue the journey.

That's a great day of exericise. I'm glad you are feeling better and got a good night's sleep.

@IvanaKirilova Every single day ahead of you has never been written. We cannot change yesterday, it already happened. Yesterday's choices are gone... already made...it's done. However, we get a beautiful unwrapped gift every single day: A New Day, full of new possibilites. It's a blank canvas. So, every single morning when you wake up you have a whole beautiful day just waiting for your choices.

@brandi_84
Thanks for sharing. Everyone's journey and decision to join and stay with this group are just as varied as we all are.
I'm Dee, and I'm here for 3 reasons.

1. I have been logging food/wt for a long time with little change. I decided to give myself a 21 day challenge, to see if I could make something happen. During these 21 days, I'm 'Temporarily" choosing to cut out alcohol, primarily wine to see how much of a difference that would make. A few days into this I decided to go with a moderate reduced carb idea...so I'm committed to no booze, and 70g carbs daily for 21 days. No other restrictions.
2. I was drawn to the idea of a smaller group within a challenge. I find that I was getting lost inside the bigger groups and the support factor faded for me.
3. Recently diagnosed with a back situation that may require surgery...just to prevent worsening; haha there is no 'fixing me' lovely!

Well, so there it is. I'm not buying into the there is no cure thing...so I'm actively motivated to this 21 day cycle, and perhaps several more to get to my goal weight. I think that 25 less pounds on this little tiny frame..I'm a short gal, will lessen the pressure upon my spinal column.
Right now, I'm stoked! I'm rocking this...but maybe I'm in the honeymoon phase.

November 4th
Tracked: yes
under: yes
exercise: yes.. walked the dog this morning and finally hit 10,000 steps today! As of now, I have 10,001 steps.. I have been slowly cutting out sugar from my diet and noticed that I'm not as hungry in the afternoons like I normally am. I've also started mixing lemon slices and mint into my water, which makes it so refreshing! @DaffyGirl88 thanks for the reminder to love everyday and see the beauty in the start of a new day!

Anyone have any goals for this weekend? Mine is to get 30,000 steps this weekend.

Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone!

@sandkp --> eating while traveling is a big challenge for me, especially if it's a road trip! I love to just sit there and eat the whole time. You mentioned college towns.. may I ask where you all are heading?

@mhoss2 I love food on road trips alone or with the kiddos as I can make easier choices... hubs is not so salad friendly so lots of fast food type stops and then big meals when at destinations. I used to keep hot Tomales in hand for those long drives with the kids for camps, college tours and such. We've definitely done our share of summer road trips and those spicy candies kept me up when I would get sleepy. I've since tried to NOT have food just hanging around the car but when the universe is against you, you eat a burger 🤣

I was just visiting #2 for his college game in MD. Everything from getting food to parking to get to stadium is a walk. #3's school is much bigger but he insists my calf be 100% okay before we try much walking there since its tons of hills. Spring exploring there is our goal.

Thursday 4 November
Track: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes

@mhoss2 my goal for the weekend is to not weigh more on Monday than I do today. That's tough for me because if we eat out at all it's always on the weekend. Also, typically one of the days is my rest day and I also drink less water on the weekend. That's probably tied to the rest day as I drink 40oz while exercising which sets me up for the day.

Today is my weigh in day
Weight-268
No changes
Rough week for me ,but looking forward for next week

Took a little nose dive with the Halloween candy and with poor time management of all I need to be doing right now. I am still here....

@brandi_84 @kizzytia8879 @sandkp

Even though you were all looking for losses, at least there were no gains! Next week is your week!! @rawrxamberx Next week is your week, too, Amber!

@DaffyGirl88 Well done on heading, once again, in the right direction!

@mhoss2 Congratulations on a great loss in your first weigh-in with The Big Butt Theory!!
