    So irritated, I ordered a Boba Fett tank top for the cruise XL, it just came in and it's snug. 5lb loss, a size up from what I normally get and still tight. I shake my fist at you Disney!

    It still looks good, I just wanted a looser fit.

    Went over my sodium yesterday. I normally consume 1500 mg yesterday over 5000. Damn soy sauce! I have to buy the low sodium when this bottle is done. Upside I was only up a pound this morning.

    I'm thinking that after the cruise I'm going to increase my weight training from every 3 days to 3 times a week. Every time I lift I'm increasing weight or increasing reps it's a great feeling. My end goal is more of a fat % then scale weight and lifting seems to be the way to get there.

    I'm on week 5 day 3 for my c25k. Yesterday's run was two 8 minute jogs with 5 minute walk in between and I did it easily with a steady controlled breathing rate. I felt more refreshed than tired afterward. Excited about tomorrow's run its two miles straight through. I haven't run two miles without stopping since high school. I'd really love for my time to be at 20 minutes but more realistically I'm looking at about 27.

    Wow you are smashing this. Massive difference in your two photos and it sounds like the gym is really working for you. Way to go. You are going to look awesome on this cruise and it's all down to your hard work. You inspire me

    Ugh. I got about .6 miles in and had to talk a breather, then when I started back up my knee was bothering me and I just couldn't mentally get back into it.

    I did the 8 minutes running 5 walking 8 running just fine so next run I'll try 10 3 10, then try the two mile run again.

    Tough call, but a smart one. Pushing through knee pain is not usually a good choice. Sounds like you have a good plan to move forward. You'll get there!

    Kettie your running is going well, I can only manage 2 minute runs with 1 minute walk a few times and then I have to switch to 1 on 1 off.

    CELEBRATE WITH ME!!!!

    My run today was supposed to be run 10 min walk 3 run 10, but when the 3 minute walk time came up I just kept on running. Did two miles in 24 minutes. While that time isn't going to win me any gold medals after throwing in the towel at .6 miles making the full two mile run is a personal victory!


    On the diet front what do you guys do when you log a meal and then don't finish it?

    Today I made way too much shepards pie. Each ingredient was logged separately before cooking and I know I picked out most of my favorite parts (cheese) so there isn't a way I can tell what's left. I logged the whole thing and if I eat some tomorrow I'm considering it free calories. But I'm interested to hear what other people do.

    Congrats on the run! As for not finishing a meal...other than finishing a meal as a snack the same day I don't really have experience there, but I do input my own recipes when I make foods with a lot of ingredients to make it easier to figure the nutrients/portion. I like your idea about leaving it logged today as a meal, then finishing it tomorrow as free calories.

    Great run! For the meals, just click on it in your diary and change your serving size.

    Its great that you're listening to your body, and making such great progress !!!

    For me, once I've logged something I generally eat it - either that day or the next day.

    Way to go you. Well done on the run. This is an awesome win.
    As for food. If i log something and dont eat it i just leave it logged as if ive eaten it. I figure i'll be under and gives me some leeway

    Leaving for the cruise tomorrow, 9 days without the Internet or mfp. I'm hoping to maintain at my current weight of 153 but I could easily see me gaining. All the buffets and desserts, I'm not paying for a cruise and then not eating the best stuff.

    Is this your secret spy outfit for undercover eating? Either way...ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We leave for a 10 day all inclusive March 25th... I'm dreading the gain with that vacation. And if some of this weight doesnt come off that is what I'll be wearing at the beach and pool thats for sure!!!

    We're doing the Star Wars day at sea and that's my Rey costume. But keeping my face covered is one way to keep from filling it with cheesecake!

    We went second day. I can't wait for the next one. My son-n-law heard the spoiler about Hans Solo. I'm so sorry to see him go, he's still yummy after all this time. I really like the new characters. Have fun on your cruise B)

    The cruise was wonderful! After a week of indulging in delicious rich foods and daily ice cream and ordering double or triple desserts I was happy I finished the 5k in 36 minutes. Surprisingly I only gained 2ish pounds so not that big of a set back.
