    I'm really over winter, but it sure is pretty outside today. My desk faces a northeast window and the sun is sparkling on the snow covered trees. I'll head out at lunch for a nice walk.
    I'm with you. I think the snow is really pretty, but I am so over it. Come on Spring!

    I'm really getting tired of seeing 166. I know my body is going through some changes and I can expect to hover here for awhile, but I am ready to move on! It's time! Sigh. I know...KCKO. Have a great day!

    3/10 walked 123 minutes 5.48 miles and burned 659 calories ... I am over carbs by 10 (thanks to my version of Keto ice coffee and my triple berry smoothie ...Calories on on point :)

    And there's that dreaded 166 again. I ate more carbs yesterday due to poor planning on my part. But I stayed in a calorie deficit. So all those people who say that the only way to lose weight is not by counting carbs/fat/etc but by being in a calorie deficit, can suck it! I know, I know...KCKO. Rinse, repeat.

    Feeling good again, energy levels up and steady again. Tweaking my dairy intake as yogurt is flaring up my histamine issues so going back to a little ricotta for breakfast. Seemed to work well last time.

    Still focusing on how I’m feeling after eating and through the day. I really do feel better. I think my body needs a small amount of natural sugars but not much.

    Only had to shovel 3" so didn't take long enough for a workout. Sunday hit the elliptical for 50 min. My trainer is on vacation so will have to do some at home strength sessions. Slight bump back up on the scale but today is only the 14th. Will take measurements end of the month.

    Survived the trip to Cincinnati. I only had one small indiscretion with some gluten free brownies at The Melting Pot. Still came in under my 100 carb goal. I got some walking in taking my nephew to Jungle Jim's. Overall an enjoyable time!

    y'all doing great!

    My scale is doing the hormonal bouncy thing. Just trying to KCKO. I did very well NOT eating myself to death this weekend.

    Just waiting for results. I have to figure out my exercise today since I have to take the kids to a thing which encroaches on my regular workout window. I'll make it work.

    Got in a good strength workout at lunch. Tried to do cardio after dinner but one of my kids called 😊
    Will use laundry as my motivation to do more stairs today. Trying to think about NEAT as well.

    Yes. When the kids call, that definitely takes precedence! Unless they call all the time asking for money! LOL!

    well that rude water went. And I'm just sitting at the low from last week today. Rainy so I'll have to workout all indoors. Big sad. Oh well. I'll do it and KCKO
