Hey I'm finally trending down again, and not up! YAY! I hit a new low on the scale today too. So I'm hoping to get my average down to 135 this month. That would be awesome. I did manage to pick up working out again this week. Although I can tell I've had a long break. 10 minutes of squats and burpees left me pretty sore, haha.

I’m not dwelling on the fact that scale has not reflected my diligence and dedication in a couple weeks, despite my meticulous weighing, logging and recent addition of exercise. Although I haven’t measured, my favorite shorts tell me that I’ve shrunk some in the last 2 weeks. I’m hoping to get back to my end of July WI of 137 next week and continue the slow, downward spiral.4 -

Bounced up a little - my own fault. Gluten and I have a love/hate relationship. I know I need to stay away from it. I know I feel better when I avoid it. And yet, I make exceptions. Last night, my son (training as a chef) made quiche. I ate the crust because I needed to know if it turned out ok. But I ate all the crust rather than a bite. Plus a slice of garlic bread. Now I ask you, why?? Why did I eat all the gluten????? Cuz I'm not truly committed to this idea of GF like I should be. I resolve to do better.3 -

First week of crossfit in the bag. My only goal was to show up every day. Next week is the same. I don't expect to lose weight the first week of strenuous exercise that suddenly includes lifting. Maybe by the end of the month. If not, still fine. For some reason I love my body and I'm more lenient with myself when I'm doing incredible things.3 -

So, I did a decent job of maintaining while we were on the road for the month of July. My goal was not to gain, and I didn’t. But I suspect that is partially due to some muscle loss since I could only run and not strength train.
We moved into the new place last Friday and I’m trying to get everything settled. I am still keeping up with my running, but may not be able to get back to strength training until September. My goal for August will just focus on switching from maintaining back to dieting. 2 -

The heat wave finally subsided! I finally am able to stop adding salt to my water to prevent dehydration (I have a very active job outside). I finally saw my numbers go down. 2 weeks to go to my shopping trip and visiting family this weekend where food and alcohol will flow. I’ve got this. Logging in a long bike drive this morning and plan on bringing my bike with me so I can do another one tomorrow morning.
My plan for this week, 7000 steps a day and 30 minutes of cycling or 10000 steps on my rest days. Yoga 3 times. Keep on track with my food intake on the pms week.1 -

That is mostly a water weight drop again. But nice to leave for a beach trip at a new LW. Stayed on plan the week before even with some stress. Now I’m away and not being super diligent so we’ll see what happens. Getting lots of activity and enjoying this break anyway.2 -

Well, at least my trend weight accurately shows that my weight was low all week but went back to the same for weigh in day. Weigh in was frustrating today, I've been in the 127's most of the week, as low as 127.0. But weigh in day? Same as last week.2 -

My mothers birthday was last night, so we enjoyed a nice night out at a restaurant and some ice cream afterwards to celebrate! Extremely bloated today (my body does NOT handle dairy well and I know this, but I hadn't had ice cream in a long time and decided the uncomfort was worth the reward lol
). My other weigh-ins last week were around the 154s-155s, so I'm back on track with my trending weight!

I love how positive everyone in this thread is! May I join you all, even though it's mid-month? And also, my numbers will go up, because I'm pregnant.

Last week: nausea definitely decreasing, but UGHHH I am so tired. Makes it a real struggle to get in my 10,000 FitBit steps and cook food in the kitchen, instead of doing dumb stuff like eating pickles and cream cheese for a meal.
Next week's goal: get to the gym for cardio 3 times (haven't gone in a month).
About me: my motivation isn't about weight, I just want to focus on eating well. In my last pregnancy, I was only working 4 days/week and I had no other kids, so I ate really well, and I felt GREAT. This time, it's a LOT harder... But when I eat crap, I feel like crap. And that's not a good way to grow a baby. Logging my food diary keeps me away from junky food and keeps my midwife off my case!5 -

Last weekend was one of my last full weekends spent at the lake. So that usually means for me, a high activity level balanced out by a high calorie level. My dad tries to tell me "lake calories don't count". If only But my trend is coming down, and if I put a good effort & keep my calories low in between indulgences I think I'll meet my month end goal & get my trend in the 135 range.

I've made it to crossfit for 4x weekly workouts this week and last (They built in Thursday rest day so you can't train 5 days in a row). My macros are pretty good- I'm close to 40/30/30 and under calories. I'm a little surprised I'm gaining because my pants are looser and I feel slimmer. It's also day1 of my period today so maybe water retention is a little of it. Or maybe lifting weights is going to have me gain before/alongside losing. I'm loving crossfit and how I feel so I'm just going to keep putting in the work at the gym and with my nutrition. Everyone there looks amazing so I'm sure I'll achieve something similar if I just keep at it.3 -
