Anyone know how many calories shoveling snow and ice burns? ? ?

I am about a pound and a half below the goal. Even so, I'm being very careful this week because one meal that has a high salt content can easily raise me three lbs overnight! That happened to me last week when I had one bowl of broccoli cheddar soup even though I was still within my calories for the day. Going to be a few days of very conscious food choices!

You got to love the weekends how we seem to gain a couple pounds and then it takes till Tuesday to get that back off. Constant roller coaster. But I like to enjoy my weekends. We've got this

Just submitted a weekly weigh in- 1 1/2 more pounds before our final weigh in.

Struggling

My parents didn’t push it as a child but somewhere along the line I became someone who always finishes their plate. Every bite. Every crumb. While loosing almost 80lbs I learned to serve myself better portions but still would finish my plate even if it meant eating past fullness.
Yesterday was worthy of a happy dance. At lunch I chose to honor fullness and I left 2 bites of food on my plate. My 6yo even noticed. He said, “Wow mom. You always finish your plate.” I told him that I was full and that I wanted to listen to my body. I’ve always tried to teach my boys that but I never led by example. It ended up turning into a little Bible lesson.
I’ve been working my way through a course that’s all about how our disregulated nervous systems affect our ability to eat the way we were created to eat. Being in this dietbet doesn’t necessarily fit with the course but I really appreciate being around people who care about what they put into their bodies and who understand what it’s like to carry extra weight.
I’ve not posted at all this time around until now but I’m grateful for those of you who have shared your wins, meals, and inspiration!

I’m not looking forward to the big storm heading my way, but I AM looking forward to the amazing workout I’ll get from shoveling snow. I love workouts that are doubly productive like that!

I’m a Daisy Girl Scout leader and it’s cookie season… my workout on Saturday was cookie pickup & unloading into my house 😂

14 days without added sugars/treats and I was getting really frustrated because after the initial water-weight drop I’ve been stuck…until this morning.

I finally broke through the plateau I’ve been in for 4 months and hopefully this trend continues and I hit goal! So close!!!!
