Yes, I’m checking in.
I am always one of the last ones to check in, and I do miss weeks here and again, but I’m still around! I still care! I still want to be the healthiest me that I can be!
Since I have moved my weigh in to the weekend, the healthy you check in on Tuesdays can serve as a different kind of update. More of a emotional/NSV/whatever else kind of update. Exciting.
Just kidding! I feel like this update is a good one. I am back on track after a trip out of town completely derailed my progress (it almost makes me not want to go back there!).
On Sunday I was really good and prepared all my food for this week so I wouldn’t eat poorly. So far I have eaten out twice, which was definitely not planned, but both times I ate really healthy – (1) salad (2) chicken sandwich. I finally began eating the food I prepared today and it worked out really well to have food prepared to heat up so I wouldn’t reach for the bad stuff.
I have also had two days (Monday + Tuesday) of excellent workouts and decent water consumption. I am terrible about drinking enough water, but my mom was sweet and bought a package of water bottles. I hate them, but I am much better at drinking all the water I need if its in a bottle.
My workouts the last two days have been great. Today’s was a departure from the standard 1.5 hour gym workout I normally do. Instead I had a ton of free time so I walked around downtown Memphis for 2 hours. I can now say I have been almost everywhere in Memphis.
Also I walked a mile while I was working today! I love getting paid to workout. Its great! I work hard though, don’t think I am a slacker. All the work was done before I did my little walk session. :)
So…. good week so far for me…. which is great! I really needed to get out of that blah session I entered while I was out of town. I hope everyone else is having a good week and I will get around to reading all the blogs sometime soon!

Congrats on having a great week so far, and for making healthy choices where unhealthy ones were available!
I’m the same with water as well. I need to have a set amount of water measured out to drink otherwise I just won’t drink it.
Sounds like a great start to your week!
That’s smart to prep your food in advance for the week ahead.
You’re doing fantastically. Keep going!
Thanks! I need to keep up this good work!
Great job with the week! Keep it going!
Great to hear that this week is going along nicely for you :-) [And as an aside, you've been tagged!]
Glad it was a good week–it’s good to take a break from the gym, and walking and exploring are good for both body and mind.
Love the Simpson cartoon; kinda sums up my life philosophy!
sounds like you had a fantastic week! great job with the planning of meals, exercise, and water.
Oooo I am excited to be tagged Marshmallow. Its really my first one, so I kind of feel that I have to do it. And its such a great question. It will be my next post after the video one. Can’t wait. :)
