Happy Monday! I realized I missed posting last week
Last Friday weigh in was:
Previous week: 242.2 lbs
Last week: 245.2 lbs
Difference: GAINED 3 lbs :-(
Good news is my cold is gone, so once I can convince myself to brave the cold and snow I will start running again!
Hope everyone has a great week!2 -

Week 3
Weigh in Day: Monday
Starting weight 186
Week 1 Weight 188
Week 2 :186
Week 3: 185
I was surprised to go down at all since I didn't track or exercise most of the week. I know I didn't eat great. I think cutting down on the soda has been a big help. I now need to work on my eating and exercise habits.2 -

Not a good start at all, this weekend was a rough one. I usually have it together but for some reason I pretty much didn't care. Now I have eaters/dieters guilt for not doing much. I hate this feeling.
I looked over my workout log and I worked out consistently for 8 days and although I am fine with a rest day, i don't like take two consecutive days off. To make matters worse I gained 4 pounds since my weigh in Saturday morning. WHAT THE FUNK!!! I hate that now I am getting closer to my goal weight it takes 8 days to take off a pound and two to put on 4. I need to do better because this isn't fair to me or my hard work. I am really aggravated with myself today.2 -
Sunday weigh-in 1/13:
Weight - 224.2 (gain from last week)
After reviewing my week, I’ve decided that it might not be good for me to be eating my exercise calories. I did go over more days than I liked but not by much unless I remove the exercise calories. Going to not include them this week and see what happens.
Are you eating all your exercise calories back? Or just partial? I tend to eat back approx 50% and that works for me. I’ve read through the forums and it seems to be very subjective on how much to eat back. Some people eat it all and do well with that. Most do around 50%.
@mikea2g - most days I was eating them all back. Not a good thing I'm sure since it's probably overestimating. I'll try this week with not eating them at all and see how satisfied I am. If it's too much, I'll try the 50% that you recommend. Thanks!1 -

Calories and Exercise in check.
Excercise 1 hour weight training, 50 minutes of shooting basketball, stretching
Meals 1. smoothie 2. Large salad with black bean burger 3. vegetarian chili
I feel like im getting more into a zone. Spending money on a gym membership helps. I picked up a new gym outift today which included a compression top lol, my first of those. I like it though. I think making healthy food taste great is key to long term success so im brainstorming new meal ideas. It feels like im living and breathing fitness. I guess thats what it takes to reach goals. I started a pushup challenge today where I do 10 pushups a day in a different place. It sounds fun.

Mini challenge
1/14
tracking: yes
calories: no
exercise: no
So I adjusted my calorie goal from losing 1.5 lbs a week to 2 lbs and I just barely went over calories. Would have been under with last weeks limit. I am going to have to adjust to these fewer calories when I can’t work out. I was up 3 hours early this morning cause I couldn’t sleep so I had no energy to get to the gym. On to tomorrow.2 -
@lozenger1984, excellent job all around last week, hitting 170’s exciting good luck,
@brandi_84, nice loss making baby steps helps to stay focus!
@abowersgirl, I totally feel YOUR pain, Thurs - Sun are tough for me too! Working out 8 days straight is a win in my book! You have nothing to feel guilty about honey, your doing a fabulous job. That few pounds WILL come off, you have this girlfriend!!2 -

@swauters I feel your pain in being tired and being laughed at. Last 2 nights I fell asleep in my daughters room at 7pm. I went in to get things ready for bed time later and laid down for “just a minute”. I woke up to my 4 and 8 year old poking me and laughing 1
