August Goal: 168.5 lbs!
Hello! So glad to be joining you all in the August discussion! I actually had to trim my weigh in history so it wasn't too long on these posts!
Welp I had the busiest work week yet at this new job. I actually had to work through my lunch break yesterday. Which also meant no afternoon run. I'm not as low as I would like to be starting off this month. I'm also approaching that dreadful time of the month. So the boobs are extra heavy.
I passed my 100 day mark of logging!!! I'm really proud of myself. This month I am going to go for a slightly aggressive goal. I think I can do it though because I've been fluctuating between 172 and 174.
Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. Can't wait to see what we can all accomplish this month!5 -
@mrssunshine78 I love the fritattas idea and the stir fry! We have a massive wok we can use and that seems like a surefire way to pack in a bunch of servings of vegetables!1

@2tall4thisworld congratulations on your new job!1

I ended up being very bad on Friday. Not in terms of pizza, it was my usual homemade to fit in with calories: very thin (but real) crust, proper cheese but not too much, etc. My downfall was the cider I drank, which then caused the munchies so I walked down to the supermarket to buy biscuits and chocolate
First run in ages today. Been wearing a heel support which has helped immensely! I ran 3k and intended to walk the remaining 1.3k, but after walking 0.5k I decided that running was more comfortable. Strange but I'll take it!1 -
Is there an app glitch? I just lost more than half of my post. Have edited above post.0

I stick to real crust. Thin and crispy. I normally end up with a roughly 10" pizza all to myself, and it comes in under 700 cals.1 -
Well no one had look at me then
I don't know what happened this weekend, I just...let it all go. TBH, I logged in in the 139s a few times last week and I'm back in training tomorrow (hells yeah, 6 weeks of purgatory done!) so I figured I could splurge a little. My total post surgery loss is at 7lbs now and it's going to take me a little while to get back up to eating for training so it could end up increasing still.
So yes. I had Chinese food yesterday after being so busy and missing lunch
. I got hoisin duck pancakes, quarter size, mini veggie spring rolls 6 or 8? Not sure, and a couple of spoons of beef chow mein. I left about 1/3 of the duck because I don't like the really dry bits and use a fork to drizzle the hoisin. I then went with my family to a designer shopping outlet today and we went to Pizza Express for lunch and I had half of a brushetta, scrapping off most of the pesto (I cry) and a Pollo Forza romana which tops up at 1,168 cals but I only ate half and brought half home with me for lunch tomorrow and on the way home I got a KFC ricebox (spicy rice, a piece of boneless chicken breast and salad for 500cals) and some [large] fries which I didn't finish.
I haven't had such a free eating weekend since...Christmas time maybe? Not even the least bit worried about the 97cal shot of vanilla syrup I added to my large soya latte. The way I see it, I ate what filled me up and left the rest. I came home and I meal prepped a chicken breast joint for Monday/Tuesdays dinners and I'm taking some to my mum, I also cooked up some BBQ glazed chicken kebab sticks for snacks to keep my protein high. I also know what I'm eating through to Friday at least. You can have weekends like this and have it be okay. You just have to be smart about it.
Also can we all just commiserate about how the All Saints outlet had the most beautiful black leather jacket for £150 instead of £316 but the arms were too short.

Welp, blew it out this weekend again (went to a brewery, had 3 delicious beers and a pizza, totally worth it) but it is probably fine, since I'm still on track to hit my calorie goal this week. Also managed to do the 30 Day Shred twice, along with some super slow running and strength training to mix it up. BUT, I gained half a pound, which is super frustrating.
August SW: 140.0

Fingers crossed it's just water weight, but I've been watching it creep up all week, which has not been fun.1 -

Like many of you, i too had quite the free eating weekend! LOL I'm just happy I was able to maintain. I had a great weekend with friends, and we went to see a play and it was the most fun to be reunited (and eat incredible pizza). I guess it all balanced out because I did have a 3 hour climbing session this weekend as well. Welp! Back to work, back to the grind, annnnnd back to the fitness center on my lunch! Wish me luck!!
@RMC1995 Thank you !!!
@rianneonamission I can't wait to try your recipe. Sounds AH-MAZING.

Struggles: pretty good week but did not run all weekend so I am pushing myself today to get back on horse
Successes: weight came off before my trip and I am glad to have the buffer before the vacay. Good conscious eating.
Upcoming week plan: I leave tomorrow for two weeks. Plan is eat as well as I can, excersize as often as possible, and relax and enjoy it.
Hugs to everyone who is hurt or sick. I send you positive vibes for a speedy recovery.1 -
So glad I'm not the only one who went a bit haywire this weekend! Ah when the cocktails flow its hard for the food not to follow. Good news is even though I didn't stay totally on track this weekend I did do better than my normal weekend. Didn't weigh today but will weigh Thursday. Thus far I'm down 4 lbs since I started getting back on track a week or two ago after being out of town for 3 weeks. 157 is where I'd been sitting for awhile before heading out of town so would really love to lose 5+ more and see some of this muscle I've been working to build
Glad everyone had fun this weekend and it sounds like no regrets!! Lots of fun with friends and people even got some good workouts in! Happy Monday all!

I ate & drank a bit too much over the weekend. But I worked out both days, including an 8 mile run on Saturday! It was my furthest distance. Sticking with my fitness isn't usually an issue for me, I like to be active. It's the nutrition part that gets me. Every time!

Ultimate goal: 125 to 130.
DH and DS are doing their annual boys' road trip and that has given me the leisure to focus and reset my eating. This year I fell into the habit of eating one to 3 protein bars a day, and even if they were Quest bars (which are low sugar, high fiber), that is 200 to 600 extra calories a day in a form which I don't find very filling.
For the last couple of weeks, I've focused on snacking on vegetables. It has helped a lot that when I get the munchies there is nothing in the house now which tempts me.
Work outs were not what I planned. It has been incredibly humid here, and draining. I did do 98,000 steps last week, but only two gym sessions. The weather is becoming cooler and today did my step quota and did a gym routine comprised of 25 minutes of HIT on the elliptical, 25 minutes of free weights, and 15 minutes of stretches/abs.
Have a great week all.1 -
Was starving yesterday! I mean I could not get full. Not sure if it was from the leg day workout at boot camp or what. Did pretty well all day but then finished the night off with a cup full of cinnamon life cereal and a few m&m's. Hoping today will be better. Both my daughter's were born in August so birthday month is in full swing. On my way to pick up the cake now and pizza will be here later for the sleepover....lord help me!

Ultimate Goal: 145lbs

August 1st: 140.6lbs.
August 8th: 140.2lbs.
I ate out 4 times the past week, had alcohol which I never do (mild allergy), three of those dinners being over this weekend and one of those was KFC -- if I eat out I try to have it be at least of some quality but sometimes you just have to go with it. I just feel like the goal posts have shifted on me. What I thought was my maintenance is clearly not maintenance. Maybe having your crummy appendix removed makes your body a super efficient ninja.
That being said, I went to my first training session last night and I was surprised at how much cardiac fitness I had retained. I didn't need to pause at all. My flexibility was fine, I'd have been surprised if it wasn't but my stability was pretty on par despite my terrible attempts to hold a chamber in my kitchen. I did get a bit of aching behind one of my incisions (left side) a few hours after I got home and today, but it's from rotating back and forth, so normal. I definitely won't be doing two sessions a night for a few weeks though.
@Ali_p7 Wowza, congrats on your 8 mile run! Maybe you should aim for running a half marathon one day.
I hope everyone is back on the grind after our weekend shenanigans. It can be helpful to let your hair down but not to the detriment of your goals so back to it! Chop chop! You guys are all doing so awesome.

I knew this would be a bad one. 0.4lbs up. Went out for dinner last night and slightly over my calories. My guess is that the food was pretty sodium heavy, and I had already had a sodium overload at the weekend. Never mind, it'll come off.

Between posting the above and dashing off to work I quickly measured myself:
Belly (2-3" under belly button - my 'problem' area), under bust and waist have all lost 1cm each. Bust lost 2.5cm. It's been a month since I last measured so am pleased to see some progress. Clothes definitely fit better. So it's not all bad.1 -
Don't lose hope, @rianneonamission. There's still 3 weeks of August left. You might be retaining a bit of water if you ate later than you normally would too so I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet.
Come on, guys, we've got this. I feel like some of us got a bit sidetracked this week, which can happen, but from now I say we refocus and recommit. We are the bosses.

I know, I know! Got a mini break starting tomorrow, but I can't imagine I will be too bad except for the scones (Devon) and the hog roast (wedding breakfast). No babies have been harmed so far

@rianneonamisson Let's hope because if you throw them out now, they might drown! The weather is tragic.
Oooh I love a scone, but they have to be really good moist ones or I can't eat them as I don't like jam, cream or butter. Plus hog roast should be delicious. I always err on the side of having more vegetables than anything else and it usually turns out fine. I had a really nice chicken breast joint from Lidl that had this really tasty pork, sage and stuffing in at the beginning of the week. It's no hog roast but I wouldn't kick it out of bed. Have a lovely time though. You're always really smart about these things and work hard to pick up the slack when you get back so I think it's all negligible anyway. 3
