Just keep going... how to add movement and activity into the Low Carb living for maintenance

I love my fitbit. <3

It is another tool to keep me honest and aware of my daily steps, activity, sleep patterns. I could get better at the water intake, enter my calories consumed (although a low carb oriented vs calorie oriented option within the settings would be a huge help!)

I have been moving deliberately more and adding weight training into the mix at least 2-3 times a week for the last 2 weeks. This is an accomplishment.

Mentally, I tell myself "it's not enough". But,(!) Dang it, it is more than it was, and it is a positive choice. *note to self, why do I always err on the side of negative talk to myself?

Truth be told, it is more getting the workout gear, shoes, organized and together and in the car to prepare for the time I could do the extra movement. I need to prioritize that for me. I do it for the kids. *note to self... work on that.

So, I have been either walking outside 2-3 miles briskly and then adding a nice weight routine with double sets on lower body into the mix, or on an elliptical if the weather is not up to par.

We are heading into the end of the school, better weather and soon summer chaos full of activity. It is the beginning of a new schedule, food prep for all, and more time that can be dedicated to deliberate movement.

My plan is to really kick it in and use my time as wisely as possible throughout the summer months and get in even better shape and tone while shredding the last 10 # to goal.

*note to self...
