So relieved that the scale is heading down again. I've been making a concerted effort to lower calories to about 1700 daily average and it must be working. Last week ended on 1820, so hopefully this week's final figures will be better.

No strength training this week yet, but I've walked to work 4 days this week (including one later today) and my average daily steps last week was 8200 and so far this week it's 9585 and we're doing a Meetup group walk as well tomorrow so that is good. Work and 'adulting' stress has gotten to me and been my excuse for not working out, but I've kept up water intake using peppermint and green tea, so there are some wins along with the fail.

I am on day 12 of doing a gratitude journal for 90 days - writing down 3 things I'm grateful for first thing in the morning. Does it matter if I do it later in the day? I'm not sure if there even are any rules so I'll do what works for me and so far it's felt really good.

Thank you to those of you who are my daily inspiration here on FS! Whether you're doing 'all the things' or just showing up for yourself in some way - it's so valuable to me when you share it and I get to join in your victories and struggles however big or small. I haven't been on as much as I like to so far this year so I haven't been around to support and comment as much, but I do appreciate the community that's here and it's great to know I can always come back and pop in when I have time.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend! xxx

This morning I did:
MrandMrsMuscle - 32 minute Full Body & Abs Strength HIIT Workout with weights

with 6.5kg weights and my resistance band.

Not my favourite workout and I don't think I'll be trying any more from this channel. I just felt like she was doing her own workout and there was no engagement. I far prefer HASfit, Kayleigh, Caroline, Funk & Angela, Jessica, Sydney, Juice & Toya and Heather and lots of others who make you feel like you're doing it together. I also didn't like her being on the bottom half of the screen with the timer bottom left as well. I think it would be far better if she's centred with the timer top right, but that's just me nit-picking.

Anyhoo, workout done, burned a few calories. Did 10k steps yesterday. Trying to keep water in-take up and sticking to calories so far. If it's a maintain this week that's fine, but the next 6 weeks need to count so something's gotta give.

Hope you all have a Wicked Wednesday in the good sense! I'm just hoping for no rain later when I have to walk to work. :) xxx

On Friday morning I did:
Funk Roberts - 30 Minute Dumbbell Superset Workout | Build Muscle - Burn Fat
Followed by:
Daniela Suarez - 5 MIN QUICK FULL BODY STRETCHING EXERCISES FOR AFTER WORKOUT | Relax, recover and gain flexibility!

Then on Sunday evening when I realised I wouldn't have time in the morning, I did:
jessicasmithtv - Met Con 3

Really great workouts and I upped my weights back to 6.5kg each after a comment from hubby that I'm not lifting heavy - and he is right. I need to improve.

So, I did modify somewhat and did alternate sides with one weight when it was a bit too much for me, but I feel like I worked more. So will be trying to increase weight as I go, but 6.5kg for Feb is fine for now.

Hubby got me a cheap fitness tracker watch for my birthday on Friday. I've been wanting one for years now and always complaining about Google Fit on my phone not being very accurate - and then of course I leave it home charging for lots of walks too. I've loved the watch so far.

It's already motivated me to move more and I average 9k steps over the weekend from Friday. It dropped yesterday because I didn't walk anywhere besides at work, but we did an hour walk this morning so will hopefully get the daily average around 6.5k.

Have a Terrific Tuesday all! xxx
