Checking in 3 weeks after my try for a reset. The first few weeks went well, with essentially all the targets met! This week I did not hit all my goals as I had planned. Combination of having a super busy weekend of staff call plus Sue and Roman joined us on Wednesday night.

Goals I hit week despite my excuses:
- didn't buy any treats at work

Goals I didn't manage to hit this week:
- two workouts per week
- 4 glasses of water per day
- no dessert/chips/diet pepsi Sun to Thurs

What will I do this weekend to get back on track?
- At least one powerzone bike ride
- A nice outdoor walk on one weekend day
- 4 glasses of water per day
- Organize my pregnancy capsule and active wear clothes

And next week, get back started on my usual plan.
- 4 glasses of water per day
- 2 workouts per week
- Weeknight dessert limited to dark chocolate or fruit
- Weeknight snack limited to apples/cheese/nuts

This past week I slipped back into a bunch of bad habits but I stopped them quicker than usual and I will have a productive and relaxing weekend and get back on track!

I need a hard reset to focus on a better habits. I'm not going to think or worry about the scale at all until I am post-partum (due Sept 15 2021) but things have been so crazy this year that Greg and I have REALLY let some bad habits develop. I want to get control of these systemic behaviours now so I am not starting from square 1 when I am a mom of three! Something I am not interested in doing is going full keto/paleo in the near future, as it just seems so likely to fail while I'm pregnant/nursing. So I thought I would take stock of my good and bad habits and try to improve.

Good habits:
- eat vast majority of meals at home
- meals are balanced and fairly healthy, though not usually strict keto
- essentially zero alcohol
- active lifestyle including busy at work and active with kids outdoors

Bad habits:
- regular late night snacks with TV (ie. bowl of chips)
- frequently purchase baked goods from cafe at work
- rarely drink water
- rarely exercise

GOALS FOR MARCH/APRIL 2021
1) Large glass of water in am, at lunch, when arrive home for the day, at dinner and before bed
2) No purchasing baked goods at work
3) 2 bike rides per week minimum
4) Late night snack is either apples/cheese/nuts or dark chocolate/tea
5) Dessert, diet Pepsi, chips and milk chocolate allowed on weekends

I think this is a reasonable place to start, acknowledging that I will not lose weight by any means with only these modest changes. My plan is to build these good habits in strongly and that way when I am officially finished childbearing and nursing I can go keto and cut the weight in 2022.

Looking forward to feeling better!

WOW...It has been a LONG time since my last entry. Now, a LOT of things have happened since 2016 that are probably worth hi-lighting.

August 2017 - Brooke was born
June 2019 - Anesthesia Royal College Exam
February 2020 - Global pandemic declared due to COVID-19
May 2020 - Jake was born
June 2020 - moved into our new house on River Ridge
September 2020 - Critical Care Royal College Exam
Mar 2021 - COVID-19 vaccinations available to many, but COVID-19 still very much impacting day to day life. Restricted social interactions, no travel, masking mandatory indoors. Kingston is in great shape, so we can go to restaurants etc. Worldwide there are 120 million cases and 2.6 million deaths from COVID-19

Things to look forward to:
April 2021 - Started that staff life!
June 2021 - Swim Spa should arrive (it better!)
September 2021 - having another boy :)

All this is not to say that there are a ton of excuses for not being as active or eating as healthfully as I know I should... though it does seem compelling all listed out like that.
