Monday
Still no exercise, but I was under! I was going to go to a yoga class but it started half an hour earlier than I thought, and there wasn't enough time to get there. I am going to try a class at my gym tonight, and I know what time it starts!!
Did you end up trying that class? What/how was it?1 -
I am really struggling here I can’t seem to get back on my keto plan the IF is going good but the low carb is a wash 🧼
Obviously 🙄 the scale moving in the wrong direction isn’t enough motivation
What do you do to find motivation? I was down to only 3 lbs before hitting goal weight now I am 8 -10 lbs from my goal
I know work is a factor but I am stronger than that . Mind over matter but how do I get there again
Help I need motivation
@murdog3t, Could your self sabotage be related to being so close to maintenance and the unknowns that will undoubtedly accompany that? You know how to lose, so maybe, self consciously, you want to stay where you know what to do? Just a thought.3 -

@cmhubbard92, wow, look at you calling me out!! (Thank you, by the way!!) Yes, I went to the class!! She had ten different stations, 45 seconds at each, rest between each station (not sure how long) and we did the circuit twice. There was only two of us, and the other lady, although she was in great shape and in much better shape than I, was 60, so that may be why we only did the circuit twice. I think three was what the instructor had in mind. There was one exercise I couldn't do at all, and one I modified because of my shoulder issues from days gone by, but other than that I got through it. It actually went better than I thought. I signed up for the next four week session! I did fall off the eating wagon yesterday....it seems impossible for me right now to do both on the same day!! And I use the word "seems" because I know it is not impossible at all....it is all excuses!!!2 -

I'm so happy you made it to the class! You will definitely see improvement throughout the next four weeks! The most important thing is that you went, and you did it!!! I definitely need to follow your lead and add more strength training to my routine!
I suggest you bring a snack for after your workout- when I am done with the gym, I have 3 hard-boiled eggs. It makes me feel full for a while. I also bring a clif bar and almonds with me, because I am usually headed to work after. I snack on those at work, before I take my meal break. It helps me stay on course throughout the day, and I don't end up going for other snacks that are poor choices for me and way too accessible at work! Bringing a healthy snack can help you stay on track I think!4 -

@cmhubbard92, I don't need to bring a snack with me, as my gym is just a few minutes drive from my house! But your snack suggestions are great....filling up on high protein foods to help you stay on course! There are hard boiled eggs in the fridge for my guys to take to work; maybe I should start eating a few myself! Thank you!1 -

I'm 25 minutes from my gym, and I go straight to work after, so that's why I suggested a snack 😊 I forget that people live much closer to a gym than I do!
I used to have SUCH a hard time getting enough protein in my diet, but now I have a pretty solid routine(and I like those snacks, so I look forward to them!) I hit my protein goal much more regularly now!
Speaking of all this gym stuff, I better get off of here! I have to head to the gym before I close at work tonight!4 -
I live close to the gym and always go home after working out. My go to snack after the gym is 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder in 1 cup skim milk. It's like a yummy vanilla milk shake and 33 g of protein.
I went to the gym this morning for a Zumba Basics class. I lasted one minute, no clue what steps they were doing, within that minute they had already changed the step sequence twice - I did not think it was a 'basic' class. Went and did the boring treadmill instead.3 -

@lozenger1984, glad you are still with us, Laura! We missed you the last couple of weeks!! You may have been off track, but you basically maintained, so all is not lost!! Over half of March is still left, enough time to make this month still count!!0 -

@cossmoss15, that's too bad that the step sequences were new to you! At least you made the most of your time at the gym, even if it was boring!! Could you talk to the Zumba instructor, and ask her/him if they had time to show you some of the sequences in slow motion? Or maybe there are some basic Zumba routines on YouTube to watch?1 -

Thanks HASWLRS - I'm really pleased with my progress. It doesn't seem long since you said I'd soon be in the 150s, and now I'm half way to the 140s.
My next goal is to get from obese to overweight - almost there1 -

@Nicoletime4me, well, we have established that you know how to maintain within a certain five pound range. Not it's time to give that next five pound range a chance! You can do this!!2 -
