I've been hitting the weights a little harder this week. I think I'm not getting enough calories or nutrients because I've been over eating at the end of the day and do not feel sated with my regular meals. I haven't felt unsatisfied during my journey before. I'm a little nervous. I'm going to try increasing my portions and see if I can get my eating under control.
Update: After adding more protein and calories to my work out days this week, I'm happy to say that I feel like my new-old self again! And I'm still losing weight! My official weigh-in isn't until tomorrow but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be on track with my weight-loss goals! Thanks for your help!3 -

Very much enjoyed my rest day! My husband even let me sleep in a bit. I was under my calories but they weren't the best choices, I've been doing a lot of snacking and skipping regular meals for some reason.0 -

You're still eating at a deficit....Maybe think of your less than healthy food choices as a weekend thing. Aim for more nutrient dense foods during the week days.1 -
NSV! Last night after dinner I wanted something more. I looked through the freezer, refrigerator, and pantry. Decided nothing in there was worth their calories at that point and that it wasn't exactly hunger pushing me to food. So I simply went to bed early. I usually give in to that situation!5

That is a great NSV...to realize you aren't really hungry! Going to bed is a great strategy...no where near food that way! I'll distract myself with a good book.1 -

We are VERY happy for you, Kay!! You are working hard and it is paying off; Every day may not be perfect, but you are showing us that as long as most days are good, the scales will show a downward trend overall. Twenty pounds is quite a milestone. Congratulations!! Do you have your shoes and belt already? Did you go out and buy them this morning?1 -
@RinsenRepeat, Craig isn't tabulating this week's results until tomorrow. You've still got time to post a weight.0

Sorry late posting today - been a little hectic from the minute I woke up - now that I’ve got a spare 5 mins to myself I thought I’d post my weight before I forgot about it lol x
You didn't gain, so that's a positive. Do you have a plan in place for this upcoming week?
I’m switching up my workouts, we eof that helps, tho k my body has adjusted itself to what I’m doing so I’m not really losing anything anymore x0 -
Hi team,
Just didn’t want anyone to think I fell off the planet, I have just been super sick the last few days. No logging, no exercise, just trying to survive and take care of my family too. I will hopefully be back and better in a few days.2 -

Keep your body guessing....good workout plan!1 -
I've been to the hospital and got x-rays done, it is broken, but it's a clean break, so strapped back up to its buddy. I have a telephone appointment with the fracture clinic tomorrow, so will find out more about treatment and healing times then.
I'm keeping up with the logging, but it's gonna be weird trying to find an extra 350 calories, I was really in the zone of knowing what I could eat on 1850 calories, so it may take a few days to get in the rhythm of the new amount!
Tracking Yes
Calories Yes
Exercise Nope, spent most of the day trying to find a comfortable position for my finger and then not moving once I found one lol3 -

Yes! I've had both of them for a week! I had my stride evaluated at Red Rock Running Club here in Las Vegas and the salesperson recommended a shoe for my neutral pronation (I now know what that means lol). I got the hydration belt from Amazon. It has a touchscreen capable pouch for my phone! Both of these treats have been staring at me, just waiting for me to hit this mini goal so that I can take them out for a spin. I'm glad that I finally can!

Looks like the salesperson was right then! They were so comfy when I tried them on in the store. I can't wait to put them to work.2 -

I was afraid going over my calories yesterday would affect my weight today and it did
I think it's mostly water weight. My sister is in town and staying with my parents so my mom and grandma have been cooking lots of big meals for her. I had been OK with my portions but I wasn't too active just sitting around visiting. I have my exercise planned out for the week, now I need to plan my meals.

My goals for the week of February 19:
1. A minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night
2. Check & update my daily calendar/to do list each morning & evening.
3. Daily cardio activity at least 30 minutes
4. Strength training at least 10 minutes (6 days)
Last week was a bit frazzled. I do better when my days are more orderly. To reach my goals this year, I must be more disciplined in a number of areas in my life. So, this week I will continue to log daily and stay within my calorie range, but in addition to that my goals for the week will focus on the habits that need to be more engrained as I move forward.

Family sometimes gets in the way of our daily progress, but not our overall progress. Good for you to have a plan for the week, and not just a wish for the week!!1 -
