This week: 180 🙂
Back in the right direction! I was surprised at the loss given I have been sick and not eating well, but I’ll take it!
@karrihowlett, Like we said to Mike last week....take it and run!! A loss is a loss! I am glad you are feeling better. You have to be feeling better to go showshoeing, as that is a tough workout!! Well done!!
Thanks! And it was a FUN time snowshoeing. Climbing hills and leaping into the snowbanks. I haven’t done that in years! Glad to be feeling better to do that.
@HASWLRS Thanks for your continued inspiration and encouragement. I’m so glad I joined this challenge.2 -

@womanofgod4893, After your water retention from last week, you lost a true pound!! Nicely done!!1 -
Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I've had a blip (more like a 3 week blip) they do say it wanes and waxes. I'm starting a new job on Monday and I was determined (or I thought I was) to feel good about myself when I started but having no work and no set routine combined with some bad environmental triggers, I've done the opposite. I start working shifts again on Monday and I'm not sure what it'll do to my diet and routine. I won't lie, I'm scared of going to the classes in the gym and my all or nothing attitude had broken me.
PW: 193.7
CW: 196.3
I'm looking forward to getting some routine back and smashing this gain. I'm not daft and I know I can do CICO, I have just lacked determination to overcome some obstacles. If I can't turn this around this week, I'll leave because gaining is not the point of being here, I understand that. Thank you for your patience everyone.
@T34S3l, Hey, T. Yes, you may have gained a little, but you've also learned a lot, and that is worth almost as much as a drop on the scales!! You've learned that routine is crucial for success. You've identified some environmental triggers that cause you to reach for food and the obstacles that will require the most mental energy from you to overcome. You've also recognized that your all or nothing attitude eventually leads to your downfall every single time! You are still here, working through it. You haven't given up, and by that standard, you have earned your place on this team. Don't leave because you have had three bad weeks. Stay because you have had three bad weeks and continue to work though it!
As far as the apprehension about going to the classes at the gym is concerned, can you seek out the instructor ahead of time? Introduce yourself, and tell him/her about your anxiety and they will undoubtedly reassure you that you will be fine. This way, too, the instructor will not be a stranger and the recognition between the two of you will also help to put you at ease.
Thank you so much for your understanding @HASWLRS I actually didn't expect that. I feel very different this afternoon to what I did this morning. I know I am conquering my triggers and thinking patterns little by little and with 30+ years of bad habits to overcome, I'm doing okay (it's about that bigger picture amirite?). Even if I fluctuate until September (when I finally get a permanent job with proper hours), I'm going to give it my best and learn as much as I can until then. As soon as I know my hours for next week, I'm going to book in for a class. I did the meet and greet with a trainer but he was hitting on me and wouldn't leave me alone so I'm in a different gym now, new approach!2 -

@GrandmaJackie, It was only one day, and only one pound, so just some retained water perhaps? Consider it normal fluctuations, and move on from here!!0 -
MINI CHALLENGE
DATE: Friday, February 22, 2019
Logged food: Yes
Under calories: No
Exercises: Yes - 35 minutes light effort elliptical / 10 minutes stretching /
Steps as of posting: 16,416
Was out and about today. Lots of calorie dense food bars and no planned or prepared meals. Feel like I’ve barely eaten but I’ve been snacking all day. It’s amazing the difference a few food swaps can make on overall calories. And satiation. More carbs for me equals hungrier feelings. More nuts equal WAY more calories
Oh well. Tomorrow’s another opportunity to do things the correct way.

@prehistoricmoongoddess, you only put on 1.6 pounds while you were away from home for four days...that is not bad at all! It will fall off in no time, especially now that you are home and all relaxed from being away at a spa! Hope you had a wonderful time with your daughter!
Thank you - but actually I only put 0.2lb on while I was away - the rest was before I went. However, I am now worried because despite having only having 1049 calories yesterday (out of 1200 allowed) and having earned 211 exercise calories, leaving me with 362 calories left that I could have had, I got up this morning to an increase of 1lb.1 -

for me personally, it takes a few days to a week to see the results/ consequences of my eating and exercise habits. If I go off the wagon, it doesn't show up on the scale for 3-7 days. The same thing happens when I am diligent with calories and exercise. I dont see the results right away. There is a bit of a lag. I can't explain it, and scientifically it shouldn't make sense, but that is just how my body works.
So I guess I am saying the gain could still be from vacation. Hang in there for a few days and hard work will show.2 -
