    @sunderland_mich93 I get mine from fabletics...the price is usually like 60ish for a new outfit (top and bottom). I really like their high waisted leggings and everything has been well-structured and the material is always thick but breathable. I think there is a special deal for first time shoppers but beware of the fine print...

    Hi
    Just realised I didn't post my weight last Monday. Think I just wanted to forget about it as it was a gain. But I am back on track - I really hope- and looking forward to losing the gain and more. Here goes- this is painful...

    @sunderland_mich93 I get my work out clothes at the outlets near me: UA, Nike and Old Navy. Also, Walmart has nice dry fit/performance leggings for under $20.
    Friday weigh in: 143
    Last week: 143
    Working out every day
    Not always tracking when I get busy.
    My goal this week is to set up my diary every morning and stick to it.

    Oh, yeah! I have definitely seen Fabletics before. They are so eye catching. I do need to read the fine print in whatever the “VIP” entails.

    Exercised?: Yes. Walk 3km in 24 mins (hills)
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes

    Late start to the day (after late finish after flight from Perth).

    Mostly getting quads ready to fly then helping move the local club to a new spot. Managed to get walk in.

    So I struggle on a daily basis on eating right, logging my food intake, and logging on myfitnesspal. So of course I missed weigh in this week and I also gained.

    I am just making a small goal this week. My goal is to just log my food and log on every day. I am tired of my sickly cycle I have been in.

    The hard part is breaking the cycle. It takes a lot of will power to start logging if you’ve gotten use to not doing it. Small goals are the best way to get back up and I’m sure you can do it!

    @wyjude, small goals help you build healthy habits over time! That is all it takes!

    Tracked?: Yes

    Work today with some time for walk. Into city again tomorrow morning.

    2nd monitor on computer died. Will need to get another one. So used to having the extra screen real estate.



    Daily Strength challenge

    Challenge for April 09 is sit-ups or crunches (abs day - be sure to use a mat or towel for cushioning - )

    2 sets
    • First set till the point where you can do no more, wait 2 mins
    • Second set of 50% of the number you did in the first set (half)

    The reason for only 2 sets for this exercise is that it ideally should be balanced with back strengthening exercises (which plank variants provide).

    Not bad for a week with my Mom, who is a very bad influence. Last night's shared banana split was worth it. They carmelize the bananas....

    April 10
    Exercised?: Yes. Walk 2.5km in 18 mins (flat) + more walking (worked in the city today)
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes

    Walked to a further train station to get the exercise.

    Vietnamese business lunch. More carbs and gluten than I prefer, but its an occasional thing. Still tracked as best I could and still under for the day.

    @Reanna143. Well done so far for April. Best of health with the yoga. Focus on diet, strength, flexibility, fitness and fun. Let the weight do it's thing and do not stress on it.

    @eevange. Getting stronger is always good. Allows you to do more and more easily. Well done.

    @concordancia. One banana split will not ruin a week. You need to enjoy the occasional indulgence. Occasional being the optimum word. Enjoy time with your mom, family is important. Just be "better" when the "bad influence" is not around.


    Daily Strength challenge

    Challenge for April 10 is door frame rows ()

    3 sets
    • First set till the point where you can do no more, wait 2 mins
    • Second set of 50% of the number you did in the first set (half)
    • Third set

    The reason for this exercise is push ups and dips work primarily the triceps (pushing). This exercise balances the others by working the biceps (pulling).

    Exercised?: Yes, 5km run on the treadmill
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes

    Still at bang on 200lbs today. This weighing in everyday is a self perpetuating loop, the more I think about it the more obsessive I am to see a loss and I know that isn't healthy! Sure this challenge is specifically about weight loss but it needs to be a steady thing. Can't believe I used to weigh in every day when I started on here!
