So glad to hear you are feeling a bit better today. Do try to get that water in as best as you can. I was just worried for you and didn't want you to get dehydrated. Have a good day!

January 3rd
Grams of Protein: 88
Ounces of Water: 80
Daily Steps: 9483
Mindful Eating Choices: I wanted a snack .. not sure I was actually hungry but could not get food out of my mind. So, I had roasted cauliflower. I did fry it with a 1/2 t. of olive oil, but it got a nice crunch and was very filling.
Self-Care Decisions: See above. AND I took the stairs again today.

No problem. I'll just list what I ate.
6g Hard Boiled Egg (1)
11g Fairlife Milk 8 oz
30g Fairlife Protein Shake 11.5oz
18g Overnight Oats 3/4 C.
20g Roast Chicken 3oz
1g. Cauliflower 2 florets
1g. Sugar Free Jello
13g Protein Yogurt
Which is only 100 .. turns out the "recipe" I saved for iced coffee (which is really only 2oz milk and splenda) saved as a full cup of milk so I had a bit less.
I make my overnight oats with protein milk, protein yogurt and protein powder.

Thank you Missy for the list. I must try harder to get enough protein in. I really struggle with that, and I know I need to commit more to include it at higher levels.

January 4th
Grams of Protein: 75
Ounces of Water: 48
Daily Steps: 7154
Mindful Eating Choices: Not so much. I seemed to be extra hungry yesterday and ate more carbs and calories than I would have liked.
Self-Care Decisions: After inputting my food and seeing I was over my ideal calories/carbs, I stopped eating. I usually have an evening snack but skipped it and chewed a piece of sugar free gum instead. A bad decision does not have to turn into a bad day/week/month/life!

Mindful Eating: Yes *
Protein: Yes
Water: Yes
Exercise/Movement: Yes *
Habit tracker: 14/14
* Just so I am totally accountable, while I did stick to my habits my intake of food was higher. I had to wake up at 5 am for my husband's cataract surgery yesterday which was scheduled for 6:45. I dropped him off and then went back home and had my breakfast which was way earlier than my norm. Doing everything so early made me very hungry later in the morning. Instead of reaching for something I shouldn't (which was a big temptation), I stuck to my food plan and chose snacks from my approved list which I normally don't have until afternoon. Then mid afternoon I added in a good sized salad as a snack and that helped me get through until dinner.

Missy Gum does nothing too you? I was told I could not have gum ever again. I do not even know why. Maybe I did at one time but I do not know why now. I would love to have some gum.

Day 5
Protein: 87 grams
Water: 50 oz
Mindful eating-not so much
Purposeful movement: yes, went to the St.Louis Art Museum. Took the elevator most of the time between floors but my knees are really giving me fits lately. But lots of walking nonetheless
Fibromyalgia has been an issue as the temps are getting colder here in St.Louis. Just makes me want to curl up under a blanket and spend the day doing nothing.
