Calories yes

I had all three kids home today and planned to work out after they went to bed. But I have no energy now, so I’ll make it a point to do something earlier tomorrow.
3 kids at home sounds like a much needed rest day from the gym. They probably gave you a workout anyway!Daily Post (Monday)

Hi All,
It’s been a ridiculously stressful week and then I had an aunt die - I didn’t get to post on Saturday. Sorry.
It’s safe to say my weight loss was going great and then it’s come to a halt. I need to reboot.
Hope you are all having a good Monday!

Week #2
Original starting weight: 273
PW: 230.1
CW: 223.8
Wooohoooo!!!! The plateau has been broken in a big way. I went three weeks gaining and losing the same two pounds so this is a welcome relief. Plateaus are such a bear. I knew I was doing everything right but I was starting to doubt myself. I'm glad I stuck with it. I am 0.8 lbs away from a 50 lb loss now.
A few weeks ago I bought 3 pairs of pants that were way too small. I am now wearing one of those pairs of pants at work. I just ordered 3 more pair because my old pants are falling off of me. They need to go in the Goodwill bin. I also ordered 3 too small shirts. I've gone from size 26 to size 20. It will be nice to get back in the teens again....and it's not too far away.
I made my 2nd meal in the Instant Pot yesterday. Of course I had to do something dumb again. I forgot to put the liner pot in there when I sautéed the chicken. It was a mess...surprisingly the pot still worked after a tedious cleaning. I really should take it apart and thoroughly clean it....but I was too lazy (and hungry) yesterday. Anyway, the meal turned out great.....not as good as the roast though.
This is fantastic! Great job, well deserved!0 -

TODAY'S MOTIVATION TIP: INFO ON
WEIGHT LOSS VS FAT LOSS
"Do You Want to Lose Weight?
If you answered yes, you are wrong. Well, not wrong actually, but what you’re really wanting to do is lose fat. . .The goal to successful weight loss is to preserve as much muscle as possible, or possibly even gain some, while at the same time lose as much body fat as possible. Your body fat % is a key indicator of your success, not the scale. . .Muscle is vital to your success for losing fat. Muscles have these little fat burning powerhouses called mitochondria. Mitochondria are cellular power plants that are responsible for the production of energy. It’s in the mitochondria that fat is metabolized. There is a positive correlation between the amount of muscle you have and the number of mitochondria. And it stands to reason that the more mitochondria you have, the more the potential to burn fat.
Get More Mitochondria
How do you get more of these little cell powerhouses? You need to be giving your body a reason to create more of them. You do this by performing high intensity exercise. HIIT training is just one of these methods. Weight training is another. By creating a large demand for energy up and above what your body can already produce, your body is forced to create new mitochondria in order to be prepared for the next time your muscles call on that needed extra energy.
The great thing about muscle and mitochondria is that they are active tissue. Unlike fat, they need constant energy to maintain themselves – energy like fatty acids. What does this mean? It means that your body will be burning fat at all times of the day – even while you’re sleeping. Yes, it is possible to burn fat in your sleep, and that is how." http://bodycarehealthclub.com.au/weight-loss-vs-fat-loss-the-difference-explained/

Nice job Nancy! 💪moosemoose123 wrote: »Hello Everyone,
Stressful week. I had a very good food habit going last week and I crashed it again this weekend. So kinda upset with myself. Living on a college campus is kind of a food desert and I am having a hard time taking the sugars I used to get from candy and trying to get that from alternative areas (there are literally only apples and bananas on this campus... its almost impossible to find any other fruits).
I also think I will be getting consistent with daily posting, I know that has been a little difficult for me and I forgot to over this week.

This week, I want to challenge myself by taking my measurements (inspired by gjaholy33), I have always avoided it because I am afraid too look at them. But, should have that and todays update tonight!
Good luck to a new week everyone!
Not having great options can be tough, but you are doing great! You barely gained anything to top it off considering your limited food options.
I love Gloria's measurement suggestion. It puts things in perspective, and is a great NSV!Daily post Weekend 09.-10.02
