Thank you and this is for last Saturday. I work most weekends so getting on here is harder than expected so I may need to adjust my days...just gotta figure our what days work better for me. Once I figure that out, I'll update everyone. :)

CW: 241 SW: 278 LTD: 37 pounds Goals for last week: * Wake up at first alarm! *NO SNOOZE!* MET! * Work out (10 minutes MINIMUM! Can be simple, just get up and get moving!) Not met, mostly because I have been using that time to pack lunch but still, no excuses! Right?!? * Do my make up. (I know this sounds silly, but I…

I'm here guys! Between COVID, Christmas, and a death in the family I'm still here. I am at work currently but will be updating my weight, steps, and etc when I get off! I'm also going to share some pics of my food (that I have been extremely proud of!) See y'all later!

Step update :smiley: 12/14: 5,066 12/15: 8,111 12/16: 6,352 12/17: 6,943 12/18: 7,417 12/19: 8,902

Alright, where do I even begin?!? I was very disappointed in myself these last couple weeks and have been *off*. Just genuinely not feeling like myself, super fatigued again, and just unmotivated. Finally, I am starting to come around...I am not there yet, and it has been very gradual but I think I am getting back there. I…

Weigh in from 12/12: 233.8 pounds. Not doing great but not as terrible as I thought apparently. I haven't been feeling great (due to lack of sleep and stupid sinuses with the ever-changing Florida weather) We have been getting absolutely SLAMMED with COVID patients all of a sudden. It is like the whole world is going crazy…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 I apologize, work has been INSANE! 12/8: 7,906 12/9: 5,385 12/10: 11,149 12/11: 10, 423 12/12: 8,319 12/13: 9,513

Steps for 12/6: 8,167 Steps for 12/7: 9,217 I think I am coming down with a sinus infection and haven't felt great all day. :( I did feel better after a nice evening walk with my dog though :) I am starting to feel it again though, if nothing else, it is just a bad head cold. Tomorrow I am off from the hospital and the…

I really think I do well with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals. I know it sounds crazy, but it has helped in the past. The first day went well...I forgot my lunch at home but I ordered the healthiest possible meal that I could and I fasted in the afternoon. My co-worker was there yesterday but she was pre-occupied…

@lindamtuck2018 Thanks for the heads up about the habit tracker! Definitely going to try that out!

12/1: 6,924 steps 12/2: 3,687 steps 12/3: 8,311 steps 12/4: 2,981 steps (left my fitbit on the charger :neutral: ) 12/5: 4,084 steps Tomorrow starts my day fulfilling my personal development plan! I am feeling pretty excited about it too! What are some things that you guys do to remind you to stay on track?! I actually…

So I am really trying to do this "change from within" self-growth thing and created a personal development plan to get myself on track. Tell me what you guys' think! Personal Development Plan: Areas in my life where I want to achieve success Fitness Health Career/Knowledge Finances Education Specific goal for each area…

I also struggle with the same thing. One thing that stuck with me from the conversation yesterday is that as the parent, I have the absolute right to choose what she can eat and when. For a while now, my mom has gotten on to me about not letting her eat whenever she wants and has even told my daughter that she would buy it…

Okay guys I am here and doing okay! This COVID thing is getting out of hand again and it has become insane. I literally can not figure out if I come home more physically or mentally exhausted at the end of these days. I also did my schedule for the month and I literally scheduled myself 3 days off so that I can TRY to…

Sorry I missed my weigh in on 11/28! I weighed in at 234 which was a 4 pound loss. I was expecting more but mother nature had other plans. I had a crazy day at work that day. I literally came home, took a shower, and crashed. Then at midnight that my mom's foot (she has charcot and chronic diabetic ulcers which she sees a…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 steps for 11/28: 7,557 steps for 11/29: 8,981 steps for 11/30: 2,402 Sorry it has been a crazy couple days!

Steps: 7,913 Well, I WAS excited for weigh in tomorrow but mother nature had other plans I guess. I have been so fatigued and just lazy today lol. Oh and SUPER bloated! But oh well, it is only temporary. I still believe that I will be lower than last week. My favorite childhood holiday memory was baking cookies with my mom…

Today. was. AWESOME! Steps for today: 13,972 (and I didn't work at all today!) I fasted until about 3 o'clock (from 8pm) and had our thanksgiving dinner which was yummy. I was so full afterward, that I just wanted to take a nap so I skipped out on the pie lol, and began fasting immediately after. I never got around to…

@rlaskey2 I am super eager to start some boxing workouts! Any recommendations on where to start? I am totally inexperienced with it, but would love to learn!

Feel free to add me as well! :)

Steps for 11/24: 8,899 Steps for 11/25: 7, 129 Great news! I took the leap and bought a Fitbit versa off my local facebook swap site! I am absolutely in love! Definitely an upgrade from my last one! And no more guessing or estimating on my steps :smiley: Yesterday was crazy, but not COVID crazy. I had one supercritical…

Specific to this week? Manage my stress level! My cortisol must have been through the roof this past week or so. I need to get a handle on that for sure. I think the meditation in combination with the long, hot shower definitely helped and I feel refreshed now. :smile:

GREAT JOB GUYS! :D

Today's steps: 16,000 (Technically, 8,922 however I am going to double that number and I will tell you why!) Today was, of course, medical Monday but today has been the most insane out of any day I have ever had in nursing, (and that includes my work in New York when this COVID stuff first hit) First off, we were busy as…

Check in for 11/22 Steps: 8,054 (I worked a code yesterday and had multiple COVID patients so I believe my count was probably more like 12,000 or so but what can you do?) The fitbit that I REALLY want is on sale on friday for $129 so I'm going to try to order it as soon as the sale hits. However, my check engine light came…

UGGH I have had the most horrible week but let me start with the easy stuff before I go into detail. Today's weight: 238 pounds (minus 0.2 pounds) Steps: (still no Fitbit but I might go ahead and buy a cheap one just to have until Christmas) November 14: 1,343 November 15: 1,562 November 16: 8,525 November 17: 2,208…

Hey Hey Hey! FINALLY got a day off and between birthday parties, hurricanes/tropical storms/and day to day life I am still going in the wrong direction :neutral: I weighed in this morning at 238.2 pounds. However, if I am being COMPLETELY honest with myself and with you guys, I have been eating like complete and utter…

GUYS! I promise I haven't gone completely off the maps! Insane, maybe but off the maps, no! After day 10 in a row of work, I was completely exhausted. I took my little ones to the dentist yesterday morning and after that, I came home and just literally went to sleep for hours! I was so tired. Still super sleepy, but able…

These last 2 days have been ABSOLUTE insanity lol. The patients I have either been very sick, very needy, or both. I have had so many new experiences and so many situations in which I have literally had to RUN! #ERlife lol I did somehow manage to lose my fitbit transferring a patient from my department to the ICU which I…
