    @minstrelofsarcasm Good luck with the new job. You'll get the rest figured out in no time. Try to make it fun and you'll do better. Let us know how you do with the meal plans, I have thought about trying that but hubby doesn't like new things, has favorite foods he wants to stick with.

    Oh my goodness, I opened up the spreadsheet to take a look at the stats, and HOLY COW, I'm impressed. There's been so many step counts recorded so far (thanks for taking over the step results this week, @melaniedscott !!!), and I had completely forgotten just how much we had grown this month.

    Please fix @ljdanny and my step count on the spreadsheet, it is only reporting Fri and Sat step count. We worked hard for those steps, LOL. Thanks.

    @Stimpy56 - Should be fixed now, good catch!

    It is so hard to get my steps in when I have a sitting job. I wish I had more time but when I did have more time, I wished I was busy. LOL. I am on plan. Feeling Strong. I have built some momentum and I have taken some time to give myself some positive feedback. Hope you all are doing well. Take care

    @cyndiesstuff -

    The best thing I ever did for my step count was start drinking more water. You end up taking more trips to get more, and more trips to the bathroom, and the steps add up over time. Dehydration is also one of those things that takes the energy right out of us, so you may feel motivated to get up more often.

    I had a good day today. I completed my food log and was on goal. I have drank my water and stepped my 7000 steps. I have 8 days in my string of days being on plan!

    I know how you feel as I sit at my desk most of the day. I do get to the gym 4 days a week and do treadmill and elliptical but the other days I don't get a chance to move around. I try to drink 10 glasses of water a day and that at least make me walk to the bathroom, lol.

    Weigh in day: Thursday
    Current weight: 146.2
    Previous weight: 148.6 (weight last week)
    Starting weight (as of Jan 1, 2023): 151.6

    Down 5 lbs in 12 days , which is a lot for me! Hope to continue this trend.

    Question- does “previous weight” refer to the weight we were when we started the challenge, or the weight at our weigh in the previous week?

    The previous weight is the one you recorded before today, so yes, last week's weight 😊

    I remember people talking about water retention, especially after holidays and flying.

    I got home about 9pm yesterday after our flight and weighed myself at 9am this morning. I am heavier than before I went away, even though I was walking a lot and didn't overindulge in treats.
    I've never really paid attention to weight fluctuations at holiday times. I read that the air on planes can dehydrate you and cause water retention but that it goes away in a couple of days.

    What are your experiences with your weight after flying?

    Tomorrow's my allotted weigh-in day, so I'll see if there's any difference. Before my hols, I was 79.9kg, today I'm 81.3kg.

    Thankful for any loss at all after binging on so much chocolate last Sunday. I haven't done that in almost a year. Good news is, made myself sick to my stomach so I won't be doing that again for awhile. At least not for another year, I hope.

    Have a great week!

    Oh boy, I'm always SO bloated after flying. The dry air dehydrates, the salty snacks require more water to be processed, poor sleep quality puts additional stress on your body (which also retains water!), if all the walking and activity created microtears in your muscles, that's also water retention... there's so many factors.

    For me personally, Multiple Sclerosis makes my body extremely sensitive to changes in routine, pressure, temperature, etc. Water retention comes easy, especially if I am not doing anything to keep my environment in check.

    @minstrelofsarcasm & @melaniedscott thank you for your replies about water retention after travelling.

    I get the bloated tummy feeling and just want to get off the plant and to the nearest loo to burst that bubble 💩💨 but, yip, it takes time to budge. There, I said it! 😄 (sorry to all the others).

    It's true, I probably didn't drink enough water but had beer, which was, no doubt, the worst thing I should have done while being so thirsty.

    Micro-tears! Didn't think about that, thanks, and I didn't sleep well the previous couple of nights. You're both very knowledgeable and I appreciate your insights.

    My one-day-work-week is over! I've been teaching online, therefore sitting all day, and have only done 4½k steps so far - went for a 30+ minute walk. I'm tired and need to rest before finding the oomph to get another 4k recorded.

    I'll check in tomorrow ⚖️🤞
    ___________________________

    Minstrelofsarcasm, Well done on doing all those exercises before work 👏

    Melaniedscott, Well done on hosting the webinar and for keeping moving 👏 I'd love to hear what you ate at the Ethiopian restaurant.

    @lamafrespirit I'm glad I don't have to shovel snow but, yes, it's a great workout 👍

    @GinLee61 That's great to have kept the chocolate binge weight off 👍
