    Finally am meeting my hydration goal. Who knew switching from carbonated water to still water would make that big of a difference.

    It has been cold here and I want to eat everything in sight. Am having Valentines dinner with my family. Will aim to eat within maintenance calories and if below will be happy.

    Headed in the right direction. I worry about the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day throwing me off. I don’t care about the game but I do care about nachos! I’m going to try to up exercise and be mindful of portions. But more importantly, I want to be selective on my indulgences and not use it as an excuse to binge on all the things.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 steps:

    2/10 6,358
    2/11 7,577

    Nice loss! Unfortunately, events happen all through the year. You have a solid plan and if you stick to it you will be ok. Enjoy your nachos and valentines.

    Fantastic loss! How are you and your family feeling with the Covid?

    All still with flu symptoms. Me mostly a headache and still no sense of smell or taste. All feeling a little better each day. Mike still testing negative. All quarantined until feb 14th.

    Thanks for checking in Linda ♥️🌻

    That’s great to here. My daughter and family finished quarantine yesterday. Only my granddaughter tested positive of the four of them.

    Good morning, happy Sunday guys!
    So yesterday my brother came to visit and they bought these cream cakes...so my mum, my brother and his wife are all like have a cake … I said no thanks, they kept on have a cake you wont be able to resist when you see them...again I said no thank you ..again they kept on you wont be able to resist have a cake ..this went on for most of the visit...I didn't have a cake ...so feeder family yes I will resist cos they didn't look that great tbh. Today I feel so happy I didn't cave in … feel fully back on track!

    Great job resisting. I don’t know why people keep insisting when we say know. I have family members who know I am trying to lose weight but try to tempt me all the time.

    Good evening everyone. Halfway thru the weekend. Keep up the fight.
    Check in for 2/12:
    Steps - 9577.
    Calories - around 1941. Ouch. Had to guess with lunch at sea world. Marti Gras. Ate a little of several things so I was happy. Not happy with snacking/desserts when I got home.
    Spent 3 1/2 hours at the park. Had a great time and got sunburned in the 80F winter weather.

    Put it down as an off day. I am sure you will be back to making great choices today. I am so jealous of your weather. It feels like -19C(-2.2F) right now. Its going to be a cold walk to the pool house and back.

    Happy Sunday, Downsizers! We had our PetExpo yesterday - I'm exhausted! Purina donated A TON of cat litter to us - literally - and I have been lifting 50-pound bags into our storage facility. I'm heading back today to finish that up. @Megan_smartiepants1970 here are my steps:

    2/11: 17,972
    2/12: 16,672

    I am pleased to say that I stuck to my eating plan - and did not eat all of the pizza, candy and cookies that were being provided at the expo - I'm really hoping to be in the 150s come weigh-in day...

    I hope you are all having a great weekend!!

    Those are some crazy steps! Great job avoiding the foods at the expo. All that lifting would have burned some extra calories. How did you get involved with the pet expo?

    ✅Close Rings
    ❌Steps 5,619
    ✅Log Food
    Swim 800 laps: 258/800

    Closed my rings again with mini walks. Steps are better than yesterday. I am going to the pool in a few minutes to do exercises that keep my head above water. I will do some water walking, cardio and a leg workout. I am aiming to do at least 45 minutes.

    Weigh Day: Saturday
    SW: 179.8
    PW: 176.8
    CW: 174.6
    LTD: 5.2

    Feeling strong and in control. Allowed myself to stray after Saturday weigh-in, only if I really want to, but am doing 20-30 min cardio interval before straying and the day after.

    Stress level since last Sunday is threw the roof, but I've been diligent on meditation and breath work. I'm actually surprised that the scaled moved with this much stress.

    3 weeks until the Galapagos Islands!!

    Keep it going girl!!

    Good evening everyone. I truly hope you all had a better day than me. I am spinning, emotion not dizziness. I went out for a nice long walk this morning and got hit twice. Both times they were looking left and turning right. Luckily I didn't go down but my left hand is sore from the contact on the first hood and then more when I had to bang on the second hood several times as I tried to hop out of the way. Neither driver even bothered to say sorry. I came home and ate 1000 calories for lunch. I am working hard to stay under so I changed up my dinner. I will try not to eat dessert even though I made some heart shaped cakes for us.

    Check in for 2/13:
    Steps - 15256. Will have a few more when I pick up daughter from work.
    Calories - 1729 thru dinner. Will try to not have dessert to stay under.
    Exercise - 7.68 miles. Don't know or care how long after everything.

    I am hoping to get my mind straight again quickly. I already apologized to my family if I get snappy with them. It was my first, and second, time getting hit in 2 years of walking.

    @rwood566 Holy moly! I hope you are doing ok after that. I would have a hard time getting out to do a walk if that happened to me! That's crazy! I can't even imagine getting hit. You are a braver soul than me. Dreadmill would be my choice if I got hit once much less being hit twice in one day! You are a braver soul than me. Stay safe!
