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!

Happy Monday!

Starting weight for this month: 147.6
Today's weight: 147
August goal: 145
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
