Hi everyone! I'm alive... logging in here daily is a struggle right now, but I figure even if I can't do every day, doing some days are better than none. :smile: In general, I've been doing good keeping up with my steps. JFT Wednesday 2/3: Get minimum 8k steps, would like to aim for 10k. Log my food intake

Hi again everyone! As if I didn't have enough going on, one of my dogs is having some health challenges right now that I'm really concerned about...I'm still not back to hopping on here/tracking daily (clearly) but I'm starting to feel things shift back. I've been keeping up my activity - I walked 5 miles last weekend to…

Hi all! popping back in. Even though my eating's been going wonky, I've still been maintaining the steps needed to keep up with my stepbet. I just started week 5 of 6. I'm getting back to logging my food - that feels like the best 1st step to getting back on track with things. I have a few things to get done today, but…

Hi all! The week's been a bit hectic - another scholarship meeting (looks like those will be weekly for a bit) and some other stuff that's just got me drained energy/emotions wise. I am still maintaining the steps needed to keep up with my Stepbet challenge though! I'm going to plan on re-setting foodwise on Saturday when…

Busy Busy day today - my employer released earnings for Q4 this morning (I'm in accounting - can't recall if I've mentioned that), and I'll be listening in to the investor call and we have a global town hall meeting, along with 3-4 team meetings (I might skip one of the them). All of this virtual, of course. Makes it a…

Hi all! just popping in - about to eat my dinner (nothing spectacular - a protein-focused microwave meal) - work's been heavy today and I'm running on light sleep due to the dog peeing in the bed last night. :scream: I do need to get some walking in to stay in the running for my stepbet game - I'll do a little more work…

Hey all! hope you're doing well. Sorry I disappeared for a few days, but I needed to unplug and just let whatever was making last week hard work through my system. I'm back after an awful week food-wise & up a bit on the scale (most of which I hope drops off pretty quickly) - but ready to get back into the groove.

Struggle town continues this week. I think some part of me is rebelling against the menu I setup for the whole week ahead of time, combined with various causes of stress/anxiety. Today I'm going to just go with the flow, but not allow myself to eat after dinner. A few higher calorie days isn't a big deal, but I can't keep…

Ooof - the last few days have been a bit rough - I've been feeling a lot of anxiety around today's inauguration, and then I'm also feeling a little anxious about starting meetings this week about the 2021 round for the scholarship we established in my late wife's memory. I'm glad we can honor her in this way, but it always…

Honestly I think we all need days/weeks like this on occasion.

Yesterday got away from me - slept in, ran off to a chiropractor appointment, then had to work for a good chunk of the day even though it was supposed to be a holiday. I indulged a little last night - had some wine, chocolate and overall just ate a little heavier, but I haven't had a day like that in a bit now, and I felt…

Oh! @ClearNotCloudyMind I'm on track with my 1000 miles in 2021! I'm at 46.25 right now. The benchmark if I spread it out evenly is 46.6 by the end of the day today. I'm probably going to get another mile in before bed.

I've had a great day today - I did a ton of meal prep... I cooked up a batch of seitan, some chicken breasts, broccoli soup, cream of mushroom soup, and a breakfast casserole. My meals for the whole week are fully planned out and for the most part are ready with minimal additional fuss needed beyond assembly/heating up. I…
