    This is cool! So my nutrition was not the best for the last day or so. So first off I’m going to meal plan for the week and get some healthy balanced meals in there.

    My fitness plan for the week will be to strength train 3 times, and do yoga at least once. I will check in throughout the week with these goals.

    I am using the habit tracker thing in MFP to make sure I drink enough water.
    I’m still thinking about how to incorporate elements of emotional health and self-care. I have been using the calm app for meditation here and there, I’ll try to do that at least twice this week, and I’ll use my planner every morning to plan out my day and tasks (self-care includes finding ways to be productive while having ADHD, right? 😅) so I am not stressed out at the end of the week, having got nothing done.

    Market Street: track all food and drink and stay within calories budget.

    Magnificent Mile: Go to the gym all 7 days. I don't usually go 7 straight, but I've been slacking lately and want to push myself into making it a stronger habit. Use the stair climber twice, run three times, the other two days can be anything.

    Water Street: 64 oz of water a day. And drink a cup of green tea a fay for the supposed anti-inflammatory benefits. Also cut back on energy drinks.

    Harmony Way: Make time to read at least 10 pages a day.

    Hope Street: Journal daily. Even if it's just a line or two.

    Hi! Good to see everybody building their plan for the week. Here’s mine:

    Market Street: Meal planned today and baked chicken for my evening meals. Just need to add my veggies to complete the meals. Lunches will be sandwich or salad, with fruit and chips.

    Magnificent Mile:Just getting my steps in where I can and doing 20min of strength exercises daily.


    Water Street    : 70 oz a day, limiting the caffeine water enhancers to only one a day.

    Harmony Way: Read before bed every evening.

    Hope Street: Take stress breaks at work by deep breathing and getting up to walk around every hour and a half.

    Have a great week! 😊

    Sunday's Trip


    Market Street: track all food and drink and stay within calories budget.
    I was just a couple of calories over (54 calories), but I think it was close enough. But I still need to work on less estimating.

    Magnificent Mile: Go to the gym all 7 days. Use the stair climber twice, run three times.
    I went to the gym and ran 4 miles on the treadmill.

    Water Street: 64 oz of water a day. Drink a cup of green tea. Cut back on energy drinks.
    I didn't track my water, but felt like I was around target. Today I'm going to use my 64 oz bottle to keep track. I didn't have any energy drinks. But I forgot about the tea.

    Harmony Way: Make time to read at least 10 pages a day.
    I read the bare minimum of 10 pages.

    Hope Street: Journal daily.
    I journaled a little at the end of the day.

    Sunday: Market street trip - I did my grocery shopping, and I pre-prepped my lunch for today - A big spinach salad with cucumber, tomato, to be topped with roasted chicken breast and falafels. A little green goddess dressing, and tahini for the falafel. Pita crackers if I want some, for crunch. I'm excited to eat.

    Monday

    Today was mainly a bust. We had a specialist appointment for my sons and these appointments always just throw me off mentally and emotionally. Add in the crazy traffic downtown where the hospital is...

    Market Street: track all food and drink and stay within calories budget.
    I was quite a bit under, as I wasn't in the mood to eat and my stomach was feeling a bit queasy.

    Magnificent Mile: Go to the gym all 7 days. Use the stair climber twice, run three times.
    I skipped the gym. I did go for a walk this morning though.

    Water Street: 64 oz of water a day. Drink a cup of green tea. Cut back on energy drinks.
    I purposely didn't drink as much water today to make sure I didn't have to go to the bathroom like crazy while out of the house. And I had an energy drink and no tea.

    Harmony Way: Make time to read at least 10 pages a day.
    Nope.

    Hope Street: Journal daily.
    I did just a little.

    Got a bit behind recording my highs & lows.Ive not been too bad on increasing my water intake & cutting down on tea & coffee.I have at last filled my fridge for the week with more vegetables.

    A low point is I seem to be having a sugar craving few days 😳 I found a bag of liquorice allsorts that I got for my hubby at Christmas & I ate the whole bag ! I don't even like them so it was definitely wasted calories.Today I bought some reduced chocolate sponge rolls & ate 5 out of the 6 pack as I gave 1 to my sister.

    Hoping I will find no more sweet things to eat the rest of the week.I have options in the house so fingers crossed.

    Tuesday's Trip

    I'm still feeling off today. I need to shake it off and get my head back in the game.

    Market Street: track all food and drink and stay within calories budget.
    No. I woke up hungry so I ate extra. And then continued to snack throughout the day. I gave up on tracking.

    Magnificent Mile: Go to the gym all 7 days. Use the stair climber twice, run three times.
    No. I'm feeling extra drained. I went for 2 walks outside, but no gym.

    Water Street: 64 oz of water a day. Drink a cup of green tea. Cut back on energy drinks.
    I drank all of the water, plus some. I also had some green tea. So I was partly good, but I also had an energy drink so I didn't get this one either.

    Harmony Way: Make time to read at least 10 pages a day.
    Yes, first thing in the morning

    Hope Street: Journal daily.
    Yes
