    How has everyone’s first week been o:)

    Have you found anything hard ? Easier ? Done something you thought you never could ?

    XxX

    First week has been good, not great and some room for improvement. I've been doing healthy eating since June and there are times when I just want something salty/carb loaded. I try to make better choices and not deprive myself but I always feel guilty after. For example, last night I had carbs and fat left in my macros so I had a serving of baked Lays and they were delicious but I thought about how well I had done all day and thought those chips kind of ruined it. But THEN I remind myself that I am human and move on.

    Other things that are hard for me: drinking enough water and moving when I am at work. I'm a special education case manager and I work with kids in my office most of the day. My office is far away from EVERYTHING so I fill my Nalgene in the morning and at lunch but really have no other opportunity throughout the day. My office is not big and full of desks so walking around doesn't work. I walk during my lunch and prep as much as I can but I am still only averaging 3k steps by the time I get out at 3pm. Which means I have to cram 7k in when I get home. Sometimes that's easy (nights I work at Target) but other nights it seems impossible. I need to get creative with getting moving I think.

    Tracking my food has been easy and super helpful. I love the bar code scanner and use it all the time. My students have started making fun of me, but that's fine.

    @BrendanScrote how are you finding the C25K ?? I also get shin splits running even if it’s like 2 mins lol

    I'm finding it OK, I did it before and got to week 6 before I tok my eye off the ball and the wheels fell of my whole health and fitness regime.

    I'm taking it slower now and it has taken me almost a month to get to W3R1 ... if I feel I have overdone it I will take a rest day or repeat a day if if i dont feel ready to move on

    My goal is to do a 5K park run before Xmas so I'm giving myself lots of time

    I'm afraid I can comment on "shin splimts" as i am by no means a runner ... anyone else able to comment on this?

    Down 1.8 pounds so far! I'm still struggling to intake enough water, but I've been adding lemon juice to help!

    I've really been trying to stick to my cal range out of frustration in getting little results last few attempts in past year! So far paying off. I think cutting down on the processed foods/sugar has helped curb cravings so that I can deal better. My blood sugar doesn't feel as wacky either. Like a lot of you guys here I would be much better off still by getting more water! Maybe I should put hot sauce on all my food so I want to drink more.

    I have a super head cold and haven't done much other than my steps since Saturday. I didn't go to work on Sunday, skipped one job Monday and didn't go yesterday in an attempt to feel better. So far, not really working but somehow I'm still losing weight. When I weighed myself this morning I was 209, but I can't believe that so we will wait until next Monday to put a new weight in. Hoping to feel good enough this afternoon to get some exercise in, but right now still pretty miserable.

    Downhill trend is slowing now after first few wks (not surprised). I know that’s bcuz a lot of the initial loss was water weight, but I realize going forward I have to be as accurate as possible with logging cals...having to make educated guesses can really screw things up. I tend to get prepared foods at like farmers market etc that are healthy but really can’t say for sure what they’re adding to the tally. Protein count is kind of miserable majority of the time. Hoping to increase that most days

    Whew! Last week was rough! I was on the road for work and fell into the pizza trap TWICE.

    Off to a great start this week though! 👍🏽
