I’ve been tacking and under goal so far for the day. I went to the gym this morning and did 50 min of strength training and 30 min walk on the treadmill. I’m about to head out with the girls. I’m going to try really hard to stay under calories and keep track of what I eat. These events are always the hardest. It’s way easier to put my head in the sand and start again tomorrow.
Working out before the event and trying to watch what you eat and drink is the best you can do. You still want to have fun, but you also don't want to put your head in the sand and go crazy. Somewhere in the middle is optimum!!0 -

Weigh in day: Saturday

Previous weight: 152

No lose no gain I am ok with this given Easter and the week that’s been. Hopefully see a difference soon though - no excuses!
No gain over Easter weekend...I could line with that, too! Now, onward and upward (or, downward, in this case!!).0 -
4/6
Exercised: yep
Tracked: yep

Thankful for a rest day tomorrow and yoga on Sunday. It was tough getting through the workouts this week! It’s so hard to be consistent guys...I’m literally craving a veggie pizza as I type this! Hopefully the work shows up on the scale this week! If not I’ll be ordering a food scale bc I feel like I’ve been stuck for a while.....have a great weekend!
Sorry to hear that you are struggling. A food scale will definitely help with portion control. Remember that weight loss isn't linear. Don't be too hard on yourself if the scale doesn't cooperate. Just stay the course and it will eventually drop.0 -

Sorry, no loss this week, still at 154lbs. Quite dissapointing.
Today is my day off so I haven't logged calories or been on the x-trainer but I have been walking around the town all morning and am now shattered.
Back on the wagon tomorrow and now the warmer weather is creeping slowly in I'm going to make me a salad for lunch Monday - Friday and am going to pull out all stops for a good loss next week.0 -

4/6: tracked: yes
Under: nope
Exercise: yes
I had snacks and wine last night. I kept track of what I had and logged it all. I felt super guilty this morning, so I jumped on the scale to validate my feelings and I was down a pound. I guess the moral of the story is that every now and again you need a night out, and I should be nicer to myself about it.1 -

April Week 2
Previous Weight: 224.2
Current Weight: 228.6
I did a spectacular nose dive off the wagon this past week. Too much food and too little physical activity. I have avoided this site altogether because I didn't want to see just how far off track I have gotten. The scale kept track, though
Now, I am feeling motivated all over again. The final push that got me back on track was catching up with a friend of mine whom I haven't seen in a very long time (she moved across the country). I learned that she is on a healthier lifestyle journey, too! Seeing how great she looks and feels reminded me that I like feeling that way too! I am thankful for this reminder. And still a bit gobsmacked that she re-entered my life at just the right time, showing me what I needed to see.
So here I am, ready to continue pushing forward.
And thank you, @HASWLRS for being such a great captain.3 -
Accountability has always been my biggest hurdle in this journey. For accountability purposes, I am going to post my workout schedule here.
Sun 20min strength training + 15min yoga
Mon 20min cardio
Tue 20min strength training + 20min cardio
Wed 20min yoga
Thu 20 min strength training + 20min cardio
Fri rest day
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.
If you notice me getting off-track, feel free to call me out teammates. 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.
Cheers to a new week and another chance to move closer towards our goals!4 -
7/7 in all areas
Water
Exercise
Tracked Calories under
Carb cycling all week
Great week even when I had pizza
Don’t think I’ll eat pizza again though cause bowl problems3 -
Last week: 231.5
This week: 228.4
Sigh...... I’ve been stuck in this low thirties/ high twenties weight for like a month which is fustrating because I’ve been eating right and working out! The first three moths weight was flying off now I’ve been kinda stagnant.
I did order a food scale, and starting Tuesday, being able to see what I’m actually supposed to be eating will help me with portion sizes. I feel Ike that’s why I’ve been stuck...could be also that my body was used to the workout schedule I had...I do start a new series (gamma focus t25) tomorrow which I hope will kickstart the weight loss...I may have to check macros etc but I’ll be honest that *kitten* is a lot lol! I don’t even know where to start with that not to mention I’m vegan (been vegetarian my whole life).
Ok there’s my rant I hope I didn’t kill the vibe...I’m going to go take some measurements hopefully I’ve shrunk somewhere!
Happy Sunday everyone!
