Sorry I’ve missed the last few day haven’t tracked even tho I know I’ve eaten way to much. Haven’t gone to the gym either. I think I know since Im not going to reach my original goal weight it’s not much difference. But I am closer than I thought I would get on my own.
I might not get to my goal weight but getting as close as possible means less to lose next year. At this point it’s slow and steady wins the race0 -

I am going to take this, considering it's that time of the month and on Monday I weighed 172.2, not where I wanted to be, but considering my weekend binge last weekend and the fact that mother nature is not playing nice, I'm going to take that and be happy with it.7 -

I have a confession to make and one I think I just needed to say out loud to myself, and therefore I'm sharing it with you guys.
I think I've been struggling with my weight loss in the last few weeks because I don't have a "why". I always say that to effectively muster up the strength to carry on when it gets hard is to look back and think about why you started. A little background on myself...I'm super competitive, I like to win in literally everything I do. And back when I was thinking it was time to lose weight, 2 years ago, my mom basically told me she didn't think I could do it. I set out to prove her wrong. I did that and now that she's asking for my advice, it no longer has the same effect. (Also I realize that it may seem a little crazy and maybe I'm a terrible person because the only real reason I did this is because I wanted to prove my mother wrong...but there it is, my real reason, deep down, why I started) I have to find a new "why" and that's been hard. I basically did all the things I set out to do, get healthier, no longer shop in the plus size section, be the smallest member of my family....did all of those things, now I'm a bit lost and I've been spending the better part of the last week trying to think about where I go from here and I'm still not sure. But I do know that I do want to keep competing in weightlifting and to do that, I'll be more competitive at a lighter weight, so that should help me carry on. I have set some new goals and a really scary one. I had guessed that with my muscle mass now (mathematically guessed based on my current lean mass) that I'd be withing a body fat percentage that I'd be happy with at about 140-145, and that's scary, I'm within 25 lbs of that, scary to think I'm really that close when you figure I started out at 241 lbs on my 4'10" frame.....It's both exciting and scary....I don't really know for sure if that's where I'll end up, may end up less since I'm 4'10" and my one point of reference is a girl who competes at 141 lbs and she's 5'2" and a total badass lifting more than 200 lbs.... and I'm not quite that strong...yet...so we shall see, but I've set my sights on that "last" 25 lbs and I did the math, if I lose 1.4 lbs a week, I can be there by May...scary to think it's potentially that close...and a bit nerve wracking to say it out loud, because I am goal oriented and I want to make it and I might be upset if I don't...
Anyways, wanted to share my thoughts because I think that saying these things out loud lately has really helped me. I mentioned my struggles to my trainer and he suggested we sit down and go over and set some new goals. When I said I couldn't stop eating, I wanted to eat allll the food, he looked at me and said "It's just food Ashley." He's right, food doesn't control me, I control what I eat and hearing him say that has helped me too...My point, sometimes we all need help and sometimes sharing helps to reaffirm our goals and keep us on track, and this is what I'm doing. I'm gearing up to fight to get rid of the last 25 lbs and getting all of the doubt out of my head, a common problem for me as of late and something I need to get past.
There it is guys, all my cards on the table. I think that being honest with yourself is the first step in getting to your goals, whether it's what you're actually eating or how much you're actually exercising, whether or not you're actually tracking your food and not just telling yourself you are...honestly is how you get there, step 1.6 -

Not happy I lost more weight but gained it all back on my days off. I always do. I need to find something to do cause every time I go out I spend money I don’t have.2 -
@AB0215 You have done awesome and sometimes you just have to accept that and not feel guilty of your motivation even if it was to prove someone wrong! Motivation is motivation in whatever shape or form it takes. Be thankful your mom’s words (as unkind as they were) spurred you on to get you where you are now. You are so strong and that is a terrific motivator if you ask me! I don’t know your age exactly, but I am almost 67 next month and wish I had done strength training and taking control of my eating and health at a much earlier age. Now I Am playing catch-up and already have health issues such as rheumatoid arthritis, balance issues and osteopenia and it’s so very important to exercise, eat right and do strength training just to be able to walk and move and live a normal life! So however you do it I hope you find your mojo and continue with this new healthy life style you have now. You are strong, beautiful and healthy! The why can simply be to stay being you! You are more than enough and you are worth it! Thanks for all your motivation, insights and inspiration! Keep it up! Hugs 🤗 !4

Daily Post (Saturday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Sort of, went over what I wanted to, but not technically over my "goal"
Exercise:1 hour walk, 30 mins weight training.
Comments: Setting myself up for success, made my holiday treats today, since I'm fasting until I go to my parents house at, so I'm fasting from 8 pm today until 6-7 pm on Monday. Might ask my mom if she wants me to make rolls for dinner Monday, that will suck if I have to because that dough is sticky and I won't be able to eat it
I am actually proud of myself, I did eat some while I was cooking, but I made it stay within my goal. And with fasting, should help keep my calories down on Christmas, which is Monday evening for us. And I worked out and then went for a walk so that will help with the extra calories I did eat, mainly that cupcake. I'm really trying to get myself back into it. I am mostly there, just every once in a while I have that moment where I wonder why I'm trying so hard....but I do want to see what it looks like when I don't quit....and after a year and a half of investment into this, I'd really like to finish it.
Side note: These are keto friendly cupcakes and deviled eggs with bacon
I made some cookies too. All keto friendly.

Calories under goal: Yes
Exercise: Yes, took a long walk this morning (little over 2 miles). Also did some work around the house....my fitbit shows over 8200 steps for the day.
My new stationary bike came in and I love it. The seat is sooooo much more comfortable than the old one. It also has a lot of training programs as well as an app that connects to MFP. I need to start doing more work with the resistance bands too.2 -

Exercise,Yes, 30 minutes cardio, including 12k steps
Today was very difficult. I felt huge cravings to munch. Last night I found out that a close family friend was killed in a car accident with a semi. They died on impact. I didn't sleep well at all. I did go over my calories by eating but it was only by 300 and it was a healthy snack. I did some exercises ASAP to help combat it. I'm not usually an emotional eater but it is only when I experience immense grief that it comes. I am trying to distract myself.4 -

@kazunomiya So very sorry for your loss of a dear friend. It’s doubly bad since it was totally unexpected and at this time of year. You and your family are in my prayers and thought. Please take care.
