• This check-in is for March 9th – 15th.
• While I didn’t reach my current step goal for the week, I did much better than last week, thanks to getting out of the house on several days.

• This check-in is for March 2nd – 8th.
• Though I’ve been unpacking, organizing, and hauling stuff around all week, it did not show up on my FitBit as active minutes or a huge number of steps.  My body sure feels it though *sigh* At least the apartment is looking much more like a home than a storage unit.
• I’m finally on the Tennessee-Virgina border section of the Appalachian Trail on Walking 4 Fun.  I’m hoping I’ll be able to read the next section of A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson soon.

• This check-in is for February 23rd – March 1st.
• The Boyfriend and I have done so much walking around and checking things out that I was happy when all of our stuff arrived since it meant I could “rest.”  The unpacking and organizing is racking up my steps as well, though, so my feet aren’t quite as thrilled.

• This check-in is for January 5th – 11th.
• I haven’t had any problems with sticking to the “low fat” side of my diet, but I haven’t been able to get 35 grams of fiber a day yet.  I get close, but without using a fiber supplement, it’s difficult for me to eat enough food to hit that number.  I haven’t used a supplement yet because I’m allowing my body at least this week to adjust.
• I also haven’t been able to keep my calories down to 1,200 per day.  However, I have managed to eat fewer calories than I burn every day, and well under 2,000.  I have already lost a couple of pounds as a result (I’m sure all the water I’m drinking is helping, too).
• Part of the Fiber35 program is resistance band exercises and cardio.  I’ve managed to do the cardio, but on the mornings I was supposed to do the exercises, I turned off the alarm and went back to sleep.  Saturday is cardio day, but I’m going to do the exercises that day as well to help make up for my lack of motivation this week.

• This check-in is for December 29th, 2017 – January 4th, 2018.
• My first check-in for 2018!  I finished up 2017 with just over 500 miles walked.  This year, I’m hoping to at least double that.
• 23 and Me is doing a study on the possible connections between weight and genetics that starts on Monday.  I signed up and got put into the high fiber/low fat group.  I was lucky enough to find an excellent, non-gimmicky book about eating a high fiber diet at a Half Price Books store, The Fiber35 Diet by Brenda Watson, C.N.C.  I’ll be using it to help me stick to my diet for the next 12 weeks.

• This is the final check-in for 2017, and even though check-ins will no longer be required in 2018, I’m still going to do them.
• I got quite a bit of walking in while I was in Arizona for Christmas.  Between walking through the airports, the little town where the Boyfriend’s Mom lives, and going to see the Luminaria, I chalked up a lot of steps!
• I’m less than 5 miles from hitting 500 miles this year and 19 cents away from my tiny goal of raising $5 for charity.  Oh well, hopefully I’ll do better next year.
