3/11
Last week: 229.8
This week: 226.4....on Wednesday I got up to 235!!!
Crazy how our body fluctuates through TOM. Next week I expect a bigger drop! Happy Sunday and happy to start off fright this time! 2 -
March 9th started out good.
Exercise - yes, 60 min on treadmill and 30 min strength training, however, calories and logging went out the window as the evening went on.
March 10th, Exercise - no, Within calories - no, and logging - no
Weekends are so hard, and it seems once I've gone over my calories for the day, I give up and eat anything I want, telling myself I'll start over tomorrow. I sure hope I don't gain the weight back that I lost last week. I have three days until I have to weigh in and better make the best of them.
Terry, I feel your pain!!! Once I have gone over, I tend to go into free-for-all mode. Why do we do that??? We need to remember that food is fuel, and we need to ask ourselves if we are really hungry, or just bored, frustrated, tired or whatever before we put something into our mouth!! And if we are not hungry we need to find something constructive to do!! We need to remember that you don't have to be "perfect" to have a good week overall. A few extra calories one day is not going to derail the whole week!! But free-for-alls just might, especially if they occur in multiples!!!! (You do realize this rant was as much for me, as it was for you!!) Let's kill it this week!!!3 -

Mar Week 2
Previous Weight: 226.6
Current Weight: 228.6
This is my first gain since starting my journey in Dec, but I'm not bummed about it. I was within my calorie goal 6 out of 7 days this week. I have been pushing myself with my strength training so I assume I am gaining for the right reasons: muscle healing and building.
And I'm pretty content with my NSVs for this week. My motor skills continue to improve thanks to strength training. I feel SHAPELY and STRONG. And on Friday, my entire team commented on my weight loss so I floated through the whole day

for example yesterday it was 1953/2180 daily allotted calories or should it say 1953/3322 because of the calories I gained through exercise.
Great question..
In case you missed the answer, being under is with exercise calories factored in.1 -

If weight loss can be attributed to mind over matter, then you got this in spades....your mind is absolutely in the right place!!! Love, love love your NSV's! And yes, your first small gain since joining team TBBT. It's now time for the rest of us to pick up the slack...something you've been doing from the beginning!!2 -
Good for you for not beating yourself up...this time around I refuse to beat myself up if you workout and eat right consistently eventually the weight will fall off! We got this!primekayprime wrote: »primekayprime

It was really helpful for me when I posted my workout schedule for accountability purposes. On days when I didn't want to get in one of my workouts that was on the schedule, I remembered that I would have a whole team to answer to. That was enough motivation to get my tail moving! And I got to enjoy my rest days during the weekend (which is when I prefer to have my rest days), rather than trying to cram in all of my workouts before week's end because I didn't keep to my schedule.
So, I'm gonna post my workout schedule this week as well:
Sun rest day
Mon 20min strength training + 20min cardio
Tue 20min cardio
Wed 20min strength training + 15min yoga
Thu 20min yoga
Fri 20 min strength training + 20min cardio
Sat rest day
I may move around some of the elements to better fit my week, but it should come out to 3 days of cardio, 3 days of strength training, 2 days of yoga. I don't have any reason why I can't get these done short of falling ill or a serious emergency.
Just as before, I expect my teammates to call me out if you see me getting off-track. I won't be upset by being called out. This is a commitment that I've made to myself and being reminded of that when I'm slacking is not upsetting to me.
This is a new week and a fresh start. Let's show the other teams how TBBT gets down!2 -
That's a good idea @primekayprime i'll do mine too...
Monday: 3 mile walk
Tuesday: 4 mile walk
Wednesday: 5 mile walk (with HITT)
Thursday: 3 mile walk
Friday: I'll walk down the aisle on my wedding day...does that count??
Saturday: ???
Sunday: 5 mile walk1
