❤️⭐️February Daily Weigh-in and Logging Challenge⭐️❤️

Feb 1: DNW 📝 💦
Feb 2: DNW 📝 💦 Stiil traveling, scheduled to arrive tonight. Eating terribly on drive down, sure I'll be up from my ending Jan tomorrow.
Feb 3: 160.6 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Not as bad as I expected. We arrived in Florida, my home for the next 7 days. Beautiful 70 degrees. We are kind of in the city and no treadmill, so think I will be doing most of my steps in front of youtube. We are going to conquer the Chain of Lakes Trail while we are here 4.7 miles
(one way).
Feb 4: 160.6 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Beautiful day yesterday. Took out AM walk, went to the thrift store and bought a food scale (forgot to pack mine), 8 shirts, 1pair of pants, and a golf club - all for under $15 dollars. Then our friends came to the house (we are staying in for a couple days while Monty adjusts to the new place). Played pinochle, played farkle, chatted, sat in the sun. Couldn't be any better. We got take out for lunch, but stayed within my calorie goal.
Feb 5: 159.6 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💦 It's temporary, but I'll take it. We have been staying in the first few days of our vacation so Monty can get used to the new digs - but we have a few outings scheduled in the next few days that will test my willpower! Had a nice day yesterday - working on the Chain of Lakes Trail - it is a lot different than what we are used to - but we will complete it. Basically a walk through the city of Winter Haven. Then we found a trail around Lake Wailes that was nicer for the afternoon. Hung out with the friends again, always a treat. Then watched Oppenheimer - which my husband has been dieing to see. I liked it a lot more than I expected, but am so glad we didn't see it in the movie theater - it's THREE hours long!
Feb 6: 160.2 📝 🥗 💪 🧘‍♀️ 💦Another beautiful day in Florida. We finished the Lake Wailes trail. One more day with Monty all day to make sure he was comfortable staying alone in a strange home. We think he will be fine. Today, Hubby is golfing this morning. I'm staying in, catching up on MFP, working out. Then we head to an oyster bar for lunch. This evening we are going out to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle who winter in Florida and actually live one town over.
Feb 7: 161.4 📝 💦 Tracked everything, but dinner out last night put me over the top - and the sodium! Out again tonight for dinner with the friends. Expect that number to climb before we head home on Friday. Today we are headed to BOK tower - a garden and bird santuary - one of the highest points in Florida (it's pretty flat here), and it's Dog friendly!
Feb 8: 160.6 📝 🥗 💦 Our last day in Sunny Florida. Heading on our drive home tomorrow AM. Yesterday was a nice day - ended up on a different Trail as Greg wanted to try something new (we have been to BOK Tower multiple time on different visits. Went out to dinner again last night, here is the crew.
Feb 9: 159.8 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Feb 10: DNW 📝 💦 One more day on the road and then we'll be home. I packed the scale, so won't weigh in until Monday AM.
Feb 11: DNW 📝 💦 Traveling is a tough one - you would think just sitting in the car all day, I wouldn't be over in the calories - but am ravenous when we get to the hotel and don't make the best choices for dinner. Also, snacking in the car instead of having a healthy lunch. Tomorrow is a new day - back to the routine. I love being on vacation, but it's always nice to get home. Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.
Feb 12: 159.8 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 I am over the moon with this. I weigh the same as I did when I left on Jan 31. The first vacation ever that I didn't gain! It did help that we stayed in a VRBO so I could cook some of my own meals. Now to focus for the rest of the month. Doubt I'll make my 4 pound goal - but I am going to give it a shot!
Feb 13: 160.2 📝 💦 Was over my limit yesterday - abd didn't meet my step goal. Not good way to "get focused".
Feb 14: 158.8 😁👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘‍♀️ 💦 Yesterday was a productive day. Got it all done; we had a big snow storm so didn't leave the house - nothing to distract me from my goals - and got some exercising shoveling snow.
Feb 15: 159.2 👣 📝 🥗 🧘‍♀️ 💦 Had a nice valentine's dinner with hubby. It was bitterly cold yesterday - so inside all day - I really like my outside walks. There is one park that shovels the trail, hoping it was done so we can go later today if it warms up. It's only 15 degrees now. 🥶
Feb 16: 159 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Still too cold to get an outside walk, I'm watching Young Sheldon on Netflix and caught up on a few episodes on the treadmill. Hubby did a strength workout routine with me yesterday. He thought it was fun - so hoping he will do it with me in the future. It's much more enjoyable with others. Another cold one today - maybe it's telling me it's time to clean the house -now if only there was a challenge for that! HA!Feb 17: 158.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Snowed again last night. I should have gone to Florida a week later (or stayed another week).
Feb 18: 157 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Whoosh! That was nice to see. Finally got outside for a walk yesterday; it was lovely!
Feb 19: 157.4 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Sat on my butt yesterday most of the day. Did the taxes, watched TV, played on the computer, etc. Another blustery cold day - didn't get outside for my walk. Finally got some motivation in the afternoon and jumped on the treadmill - but just until I heard my 17K buzzer and then jumped off. I understand how my body works - if I eat all of my calories gained by exercise I either stay the same or go up. If I don't eat any - I usually stay the same. The sweet spot for me is to eat half of what I gain by exercise. Walking alone doesn't give me too may extra calories, so I ate every bite yesterday - ! I fool myself sometimes, as I still count that as staying under my calorie goal even though I know that it doesn't make my scale move.
Feb 20: 157 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Productive day yesterday, got all my accomplishments done, cleaned the house, and tried a new recipe. https://www.saltandlavender.com/ground-beef-stir-fry/ I did go over my sodium limit yesterday, but drank plenty of water. Might show up on the scale tomorrow. We'll see.
