The Blue Team-What will YOU do differently this week?
I just wanted to start a thread that would be a place to discuss what we feel would have helped us be the most successful in our efforts personally and as a team on a weekly basis, so here it is!
What are YOU going to do this week to improve?
This last week, I didn't log everything into my "Fit Day" and plan to be better about that this week.
This last week, I would have been more successful if I had slept more and planned ahead for stressful triggers. Sleep is a priority! I plan on less internet and TV time, more studying, family and sleep this week!
I made good choices but I could have been more careful about late night snacking! This week, I will have fruits and veggies available for snacking and may replace a meal with a smoothie/shake either in the morning or the evening.
As for me, I've got major hurdles since any kind of change to my routine/structure can set off emotional eating . . . and with this strike, my world is totally upside down - everything from actual hours (days vs nights) and the financial worry - combined with being an official at work and the breadwinner at home - just total upheaval.
I think first of all I need to be very guarded and aware this week + and also somehow hold onto my resolve for this healthier wol. Now with my job - I log anywhere from 11-13,000 steps w/o the purposeful power walking I was just getting into again. I will have to double/triple/quadribble my exercise efforts with this change to virtually 0 steps. Gotta NOT cave to the dozens of Krispy Kremes & Pizza & Bar Food that is being delivered to the picket line . . . and also be mindful of all the water I usually glug down. I have menopause issues to top it all off too GirlyGS!
Quite a challenge ahead - gonna go with a day by day mentality instead for starters. Glad you're all here for me - gonna be here for you all too!

Honestly there is no way I could eat food that was more healthy unless I went veg, which I don't plan to do this year. I just have to eat less of it.
Edited to add: I also CANNOT eat after 7 and see results. It simply does not happen for me. So, I will be sitting on my hands during TBL tonight. I wish I knew how to knit.

Reason: addition
Why is it so hard for me?? I know it's there, I can easily have some. I like to drink it. I don't think it tastes bad or anything. I just don't really drink enough of anything I guess. I need to drink more altogether but esp. water.
This week, it looks like we has several gains, both small and large. I think we all could use a little support and goal setting! So lets make it public and state what we will do differently this week, or what worked for us that we will continue to do!
I withdrew once again. I let things bother me and I retreated. I did well weight wise but my head could have been in a better place. This week, I will be more true to myself and make the BEST choices for me, every day.
Last week I recovered from my week-long binge and stayed on plan diet-wise, I made it to the gym to lift weights and do HIIT 3 days and I went to all of my classes
What I need to do differently this week:
-- Drink more WATER!
-- Keep up the positive affirmations with myself. I need to actively change myself mentally--positivity is key.
-- Make it to the gym 5 days instead of only 3.
-- Staying on plan is great, but this week I want to stick exactly to the menus I draw up, so I'm sure that my calorie-level is good.
It *sucks* working just as hard as ever and having nothing to show for it! (I meant that in terms of money, but it happens with dieting too, doesn't it?).
I hope you are able to sort it out soon. I can say I relate to the cash flow/bill disparity all too well.

So this week I'm going to.:
