Feb 6 204 pms and not been eating great. Going to my first Zumba tonight since feeling better. Hope I don’t hack up a lung. Unfortunately I didn’t get to go. I was coughing and and was too tired to go.
Feb 7 203.5
Feb 11 203 went to my happy place (Disney) over the weekend so I’m glad not a hike with the salty foods at Epcot. Did notice with all the walking that my lungs are definitely not at full capacity.
Feb 14 203 guess just glad not gaining. Still haven’t tried working out. Just getting my step goal in at work. Did take a walk around the neighborhood the other day. 80s are ending for now and it will be in the 60s this upcoming week.

@ManifestingToday thank you! I didn’t realize my lungs were that bad still. Glad I didn’t go to Zumba last week. It would have ended badly.

@tishsmith101 - those yummy temptations are tough.. I have to literally prepare my healthy option for myself when family meals like this are available, or in the case of going out to a dinner party or dinner at a restaurant I will eat something ahead of time. Then I can have 'tastes' of the not so healthy options if I want to and not be drooling or run the risk of over eating something I shouldn't. Its stinks to have to do this but its the only way I have found that I can keep myself in check. Then

Happy Valentines Day . No elaborate plans here..

I slept a bit better last night but yesterday was another crazy day work. My boss (who's only been my boss since December) pushed me past my "nice" point . Unfortunately the GenX female who is pretty much unwilling to tolerate bs came through strong yesterday. I have my limits . She is younger "ish" and forgets some of us have been at this career quite a while..

ANYWHO.. I focused on protein water and fiber and then had a steak salad for dinner. I was pretty stressed and caught myself a couple times thinking about reaching for the not so healthy snack choices like chips or my lily's low sugar chocolate bar.. but I resisted. I did give myself permission to have a few Bequet caramels after dinner last night. (those things are so good) Trying to allow myself those sweets in moderation here and there so I don't have another day like the other one..

I am starting to feel like I need to adjust some of my eating. Specifically, less food from restaurants (let's be real: taco trucks) and more home cooking. There's probably more hidden calories in the food I'm eating than I am accounting for (even though I'm trying to be as honest as possible with my logging).

Other than that, I'm trusting the process still even though the number on the scale says the same thing it said a whole *kitten* month ago.

I rarely do but I bought a pack of chicken tenders. Well, I've been eating them over the past 2 days and whatdayaknow, I saw an uptick in weight. All that sodium I'm guessing. Hopefully it's temporary. I'm feeling better. My palate still hasn't healed though. It's hard to eat.

@dannytrees1 - Hot Diggity ! WHAT A NICE DROP! your killin it. Awesome work.. looks like the upped protein is doing its trick .

I am not really sure I even have a good explanation for that number. I know I have not been tracking my food so that could be part of it. I needed a break but I am going to get back to that this week.
Nonetheless I was pretty mad yesterday at that number so I sort of punished myself a bit with my workout.. But I had huge amounts of energy so it actually felt good. We went to dinner last night and I got sick from the meal. It was too heavy and did not sit well. I ate pretty lightly today .
I will weigh in tomorrow.

SO MUCH SNOW Here and still snowing. I shoveled alot today and already hit 8K steps by noon from housecleaning and shoveling .

Have a good rest of your Sunday everyone

Oh wow, I’m not sure where that drop came from! Probably from having literally no fluids in my body after being sick lol. I’m feeling lots better today and will be on track with my water and food! That number can definitely feel free to stick if it wants.

3 days of snowing and I decided I may as well embrace it . I did get out for good snowshoe workout, probably more than I bargained for. It was alot of post holing because I don't have groomed trails to enjoy out my backdoor. Snow was 18 " or deeper with no base, all fluffy powder . It took me an hour to only go 1/2 mile. I literally could only go about 30 steps before I had to stop to catch my breath . It felt like my heart was going to jump right out of my chest but my recoveries were good so that's a plus. It was a very hard workout and I was drenched in sweat when I got back. But it felt good to push myself like that.

Our weather is supposed to start warming into the 40's soon so all this white stuff is going to start melting and then ofcourse freezing overnight so now comes the ice ..

I am very ready to hear birds singing and warmer days with no white stuff 🌴🌴🌴😎🌻☀️
