Eek! Rough beginning to the month. I had some binges this past week as well, so I know how everyone else is feeling.

@MoonlitMuse that is interesting about the 30 different fruits/vegetables/herbs. That is probably one of my weaker areas and for this last week, I am probably only around 10-12 different ones.

@CarolAnnM2 I hope your surgery goes well!

The good news is I have been tracking everything. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the easter candy 😂

I got my steps in today, and enjoyed a nice walk with my hubby after dinner. It was 85F and sunny. A perfect day in my opinion! 🌞

Was a bit of a surprise, then I thought about it, and not really. I've had a lot of caffeine this week because I feel completely exhausted. Not sure whether I'm fighting illness or it's stress/burnout from work - I hope it's the former because I just had two weeks off work! Caffeine in the form of energy drink (every day, too) means I've not drunk much water and I've not slept well; less of it and poor quality. Add in waking up yesterday with an awful cramp in my calf, and I think all signs point to dehydration, though there has also been some snacking on chocolate.

Not looking forward to my dietician appointment later because I feel like I haven't followed through on any of the plans we made last month. That means it's the perfect time for a dietician appointment because she can help me to re-focus.

This is why we're here! Don't feel bad. Legit - most of my follow-ups say this. You've just got to find your 'low hanging fruit' and consistently set yourself up to get it. It's the crushing of those teensy-tiny little habits (that are actually pretty easy to incorporate) that will get the ball rolling and give you the momentum to make bigger changes

It's been an up and down week for me, I think I'm in danger of slipping into self-sabotage mode as my tracking hasn't been very consistent and my steps are low, but I'm really enjoying weight training and am feeling a lot more body confident at the moment. However, I've started drinking more and letting mindless snacking sneak in, with a mañana mañana attitude. I need to find a way to reaffirm my goals so that I don't start to slip backwards. Today was a lower weight day, but the last few days I've been closer to 150lbs. I'm trying to make peace with a slow (less than half a pound per week average) weight loss, as I can see big visible improvements, and I'm feeling so much stronger, fitter, and healthier. I want to make lifelong habit changes, not just trying to hit a number, then giving up.

Happy Good Friday everyone ❤️
I'm on this new lifestyle for about 10 days now and boy, it is hard!
I'm always hungry, but drink a lot of water to hopefully fill me up a little 🙄
I have a lovely walk planned with my hubby and I. Nothing better for the soul than nature on sunny day 😍

Have a lovely Friday all ❤️

@jugar I'd like to push my weigh in until tomorrow. Some food has not transited out as I had hoped! 😉

We are still without power, but our generator is giving us heat from the pellet stove and entertainment as the tv and internet are still working. We have a gas stove so we can cook on the stovetop and boil water for dishes. I've started using my dishwasher as the drying rack!
We helped a neighbor chop up a few fallen trees yesterday and then I played hockey. I slept 10 hours last night to recover.



This is the main pile of wood we created.

We had power flash back on for a few seconds last night and then go out again because a branch about 10 houses away from us had cut the line and broken the ceramic insulator right off the top of the pole. When I came home from hockey the first half of our street had power and then the trees under where the wire was cut were on fire!



Not the clearest photo.

There was enough snow to catch the embers so it didn't spread.

So now we wait. We are low priority and it's a specialist repair so we will be doing sponge baths and eating pasta for some time still.

I'm doing my best to keep drinking water although it's in limited supply.

I might be adding to the red for the week unfortunately but I'm ok with it given the circumstances. 👌🙂

Greetings from a little farmhouse apartment in the woods outside Haliburton, Ontario!

@jugar @PlaneMonkey My brother and his fiancee live in Montreal so I was hearing a bit about your crazy weather and power issues.. I've never been in a period of prolonged power outage so I can't imagine what that would be like

@micki48 YAY! Congrats to your son. This must be such a huge relief for you.

We are here in Ontario until Monday. We haven't seen Brad's Mom since Thanksgiving and she had a health scare early this year, so it's great catching up. We also are seeing a bunch of his other family that we haven't seen in a while. It's been nice.

I forgot my travel scale, so unlike me. But then again, sorta par for the course in my less disciplined mind right now. Steps are always low on these trips because we are sitting visiting with his elderly mother. I could make a better plan, but I usually fail to here.

Hope everyone has a great Easter weekend!

Thanks @jugar
I will admit I struggle with getting my veggies in… unless it’s salad, zucchini, broccoli or corn.. I don’t like it, but I need to remind myself I can just rotate those I do like frequently. I always feel like I need to be trying something new or making something new and when I don’tI get upset and then buy something out! Double whammy bad
