    Friday Check in
    Calories are under
    Water is over
    Exercise was 40 minutes on the treadmill

    I had an awful couple of days with my eating. It was like I was completely out of control, which is a feeling I hate. Today, my daughter would have been 27 years old. She has been gone now for 11 months and I'm dwelling on the life she should have had and I let my emotions get the better of me. I know she wouldn't want me to undo the hard work I'm doing with my weight loss and overcoming my own addictions. So, I'm back in control and pray I stay there. :/

    Dealing with our emotions while on this journey really is a balancing act at times - hating the feeling of overeating yet sometimes needing something that “used to” comfort us. And I say used to because I think we are all starting to realize that food doesn’t help us as much anymore. But @TeresaW1020 you are dealing with a significant loss that is still relatively recent so you like @AustinRuadhain said take care and don’t be too hard on yourself. Hugs!

    Weigh in week: Week 3
    Weigh in day: Friday
    Previous Weight: 172?
    Todays Weight: 175?

    My scale is definitely wonky, I got a different number between 174 and 177 every time I weighed myself. Unfortunately that means my giant weight loss last week was probably not accurate 😭. But I'm not sure since I ate pretty badly yesterday and like @Kres567 mentioned, I also had a cardio day yesterday and have noticed that I often weigh more after that. I'm going to read that article that @sunshineplace mentioned and try doing strength training before my next weigh in to see if that helps.

    Do you think it needs new batteries? Sometimes my scale seems so wacky too even after I got new batteries.

    The article is a really good read.

    Struggling a bit to survive the government shutdown - praying it doesn't last much longer.

    Hope you guys are killing it!

    So, are you really not getting paid at all??? But you still have to work?

    Thursday day check in

    Calories-on track
    Water-on track
    Exercise-45 power class

    Went to physical therapist for my foot. Good news, it is not PF, just strained muscle due to tight hip flexors, tight calves and hamstrings. She massaged and taped the area. I go back next week, but I am released to run this weekend

    How did your therapist diagnose it? My foot was feeling good and as soon as I got on my treadmill last night to do a walk/run workout it started to hurt again. My pain is along the outside of my foot, not really my heel.

    Just by having me move in different t ways and then massages my muscles and told me it was from tight muscles and not PF

    Hmmmm...I might have to check that out as well. I’ll talk to my chiropractor on Tuesday.

    Saturday check in
    Calories - so far so good, but.....
    Water - ok
    Exercise - 8mile run

    Getting ready for the snow and ice to hit, and hoping we don't lose power.

    Oh my, I’m not doing great at the check in’s. I am sorry not to have been participating. Honestly I’ve been more off track than on and that’s not much fun to report. Anyway today’s check in isn’t awful

    Cals : just under
    Water : ehhhh, I’m great at tracking food but liquids I keep forgetting. I’ll hazard a guess at around 2 litres and that’s mostly black unsweetened tea
    Exercise : 2 walks, 13,600 steps

    I’m most definitely looking at a gain this week, and there’s no mystery I’ll have earned it. A lot of the time the last few weeks I really don’t want it that much (“it” being weight loss)
    I hope to get energised again to lose rather than stay in this weight bracket

    Calories are under
    Water is over
    Exercise was 50 minutes on the treadmill doing an interval program

    I have done much better today, both emotionally and with my eating. I'm really hoping to keep on plan and see a loss this week. :)

    Does anyone experience a weight gain or maintenance after a great day that includes a cardio workout? Every time I work out the next day I have a gain. It’s kind of frustrating and makes me not want to work out (even though I will continue).

    it is quite normal when you have worked your muscles hard they need to repair, and part of the repair process requires retention of water, so after any hard work out you will usually put on a bit of water weight. My weight can fluctuate wildly especially after her two sessions, after a marathon it goes up by between 7 and 10 lbs the next day! , But it does come back off 👍
