@MaelynMayhem~ You, my friend had another good day. Yes, that was quite a loss. Hope your Tuesday goes well. Peace be with you.
@ajaia2001~ That’s awesome that you are doing classes. I walk or have MANY DVDs that I can choose from. But it’s spring, so it’s nice to be outside.
@Fitgirllife72~ Are your exercises a class, youtube, or DVD? Inquiring minds, eh hemm, I mean Run Track Minds want to know.
@Tomkinsone~ Sorry to hear your sick. When losing weight and exercising is going so well; it’s tough to swallow the “overall wellness pill.” But, taking care of you is important. If it lasts, maybe try some Yoga or something that isn’t as tough on cardio. !????

Daily Post (Monday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over by 9
Exercise: No
Water: Not enough
Day: Had a frustrating day, so went home and just laid on the couch wallowing for a couple hours til a late dinner, then back to bed.
Mood carried over into today (Tuesday) and felt annoyed/frustrated/blah when weighing in even though it was a loss. I have periodic moments in this journey so far where I just feel blah about it. So far, hasn't resulted in falling off the wagon and I don't see that happening now. Just need to remember that every day doesn't need to be a super positive, gung ho day. Some days are just days.1 -

Day. I started my day by walking in the park and praying the rosary at the same time. It helped. I didn’t push my Zombies, Run! walk due to fasting. I am done fasting until Good Friday. The day has been good.0 -

Daily Post (Tuesday)
Track: Yes, after an inner battle where I really REALLY didn't want to track the snacks I had when I came home, standing in the pantry, eating straight from the box, cause I was hungry, tired, and in a bad mood. Had a moment of "If I don't log this, no one will know" Then after a few hours, after I'd eaten dinner, and relaxed with a book, I went back to my food log and logged my dinner AND my snacks, cause if I don't log I am only hurting myself. NSV
Calories: Over
Exercise: None
Water: Never enough these days
Day: Having a frustrating start to the week for a number of reasons. So just trying to power through and focus on what I have control over, which is this weight loss journey!
Goal: Continue logging and drinking more water, personal goal to buckle down and complete some of the work in my personal life that I've been putting off that I really dont feel like doing after regular work, but today is the day! It needs to get done.1 -

Track: Yes
Calories: Yes; 12 under
Exercise: no.
Daily Goals: ACHIEVED! 3 personal points~ for mindset with morning affirmations and improve my night routine/habits to stop after dinner binges. COMPLETED
Sleep-in, a nice day off. √
Enjoy time w/hubby. √
Grocery shop. √
Played on my computer. √
15 Day streak of no night binges. √ I really, really had to stay focused last night. I so badly wanted to eat. First attempt… I curled up on the couch next to hubby and just relaxed. Then as we got up to go to watch TV in bed, I checked a few things for calorie content. I didn’t have any carbs for dinner. Before I went to bed, I entered a couple of items to see if I’d be “okay.” And I was still under 12 calories. So I went ahead and ate. I was able to somehow keep my cool and not binge! Phew!! Still 100% on track.

Calories: Yes; goal 1370, food 1114, , exercise 204, cal remain 460
Exercise: yes
Goals/Day: feeling much better. Was able to get to the gym to work out with the weights and do a little cardio. Was a beautiful day outside.1 -
@jwall309~ Yep. Sometimes it’s just a day. Way to adjust the mind to have a better attitude. Do you try having a different or new flavor once in a while?
Something simple, like adding curry or cumin or another spice or herb, can help brighten your day. Other ideas are aromatherapy. No need to be all oils and scents. It could be a scented/flavored lip gloss, hand lotion, or lighting a candle. Be sure to use all your senses so that it’s not just our tongue we’re catering too. This also helps distract the mind.
@Claresmith13~ A maintain is “weigh” better than a gain!! And you’re still at a loss for the month, so keep doing it! You got this!
@ajaia2001~ Aaaahhhh! It’s great to get outdoors for a walk, right!? What did your eyes take in and enjoy on your walk? I love hearing the birds.
@MaelynMayhem~ Good for you for recognizing to not overdo it with exercise during a fast. We don’t want you to collapse. Peace be with you. You are doing so great! Appreciate you posting daily.
@Fitgirllife72~ Another great day in the books! You’re doing great!
@twitch82~ Stay positive and keep working your program. Look at the whole picture, for the month of April you haven’t gained. Do what you can to counteract week 2 and bring a loss for week 3. <<hugs>> We’re here to help however we can.
@J0d13mcc~ Wow! Only 800 calories if I’m reading that right. Keep up the good fight.

I wasn’t able to weigh in on Monday, which is my weigh in day. Hope this counts...I’m also happy for my progress after my trips recently.2 -
@johicks I have much more variety in flavor in my food these days in comparison to previous times losing weight, all thanks to my BF! He is Indian, his parents grew up in India, and he grew up eating traditional Indian food, so thanks to him our food is usually heavily spiced with different flavors. I ,on the other hand, grew up with a single working mom (for whom I am eternally grateful) but didn't prioritize cooking, so this is a whole new world for me of spices!
But you are right, I need to find ways to pull me out of a funk that aren't food! I lit a new candle last night, transitioning into spring, fresh scents, and the weather here is steadily getting nicer and warmer, so I think that will also help. Maybe I'll suggest a walk with the BF tonight to try to pull my head out of the fog.2 -

Looks like my next three weekends are going to be very busy. My boyfriend’s sister is coming into town this weekend and will be staying with us for part of their week long vacation. It shall be fun, and I’m going to try my best not to ruin all of my hard work. The weekend of the 26th I have a function to attend. And the weekend after, May 2-5 I am driving down to Florida to see my parents. I will do my best to get my weigh ins done on the next two sundays, not sure about May 5th, the challenge will be over by then and it will be a 13 hour drive home that day. 🤞🤞0

Daily Post 4/17 (Wednesday)
Track: yes
Calories: Limit: 1500/Actual 1322
Water: 26 cups
Exercise: Zombies, Run! (Bandits - 39 minutes, walked additional minutes to hit an hour)
Day: I went and say my dietitian today. I was weighed of course, and it was determined I lost 24 pounds in the last month. She was concerned that I might be losing nutrients and lean muscle mass. After we discussed it we agreed that I would add a second snack to my meal plan to raise my calories to maybe slow it down a bit. I added 30 g of walnuts to my daily diet as snacks. I go to a food pantry on Friday so my snack options might change. I confirmed today because I haven't run through all the missions again since downloading again Zombies, Run! the funny radio DJ's that come on after the missions are not coming on. Soooooo, I'm going to go back through them. I did get a Walmart gift card today that should be enough for one pair of shorts before tax; so, next month when I get paid I am going to go and get a couple of new pairs that fit. Almost all my current clothes are falling off of me.0 -

@veggieonly ~ You’ve been missed. And wow! Yes, great progress while on trips. Keep doing it! Happy for you.
@jwall309 ~ hopefully, BF is the spice of your life. LOL Yeah…. Candles! Did you get your walk in?
@JamieD328 ~ keep working at it those, lbs will come off. Let us know how/if we can help! <<hugs>>
@Tomkinsone~ You are going to be busy! Make smart choices and get in as much walking as you can! Do you have any “plans” in place to keep on track or strategies? Pack healthy snacks for the drive to Florida and be sure to use menus you can find online to dine out. Or heck… pack a cooler! LOL Saves, money, too. You can do it!
And with regards to the April challenge, it will end on Sat., April 27th. So you would miss one week early in May’s Challenge (hopefully they keep it going.)
@Fitgirllife72~ Another Yesday for you!!
@MaelynMayhem~ A good visit to the dietitian AND your clothes are falling off. How exciting! Walnuts sound like a smart snack. I love nuts on my salads, but we have a hard time eating proper portions. You are inspiring my friend!
@ajaia2001~ Yes! Another good day!
@Gustaaf85~ “bulk up” meaning you want your muscle mass to increase. Sounds like you did if your fat went down and your weight went up. (!??) Are you competing to want to bulk up?

Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Water: getting better but still need to be drinking more
Exercise: Quick walk to and from the grocery store
Day: Was a better day today. The weather here is really getting very nice and I am looking forward to the end of the week and the weekend. Had a good weigh-in so I'm feeling ok today.
@johicks We didn't do a long walk, but we did end up walking to the grocery store to grab a bagged salad to eat with dinner, so even though it was only about 15 minutes total, I'll still count it as achieving a walk for the day! Baby steps1 -
@johicks - the trick with nuts is to measure before you eat.

Right!! But just have g them in the house is hard. I am doing better at measuring other items before eating. AND doing really good at reading labels before considering eating it.

Track: Yes
Calories: Limit: 1500/Actual: 1345
Water: 31
Exercise: Zombies, Run! version of couch to 5K week 3, day 2 (43 minutes); Zombies, Run! (36 minutes; walked additional minutes to reach an hour)
Day: I ran a lot more during all three free form runs on the 5K training. I felt woozy again in the middle and going forward with it. I have glucose tabs coming tomorrow, and I will see if that will help. It was four hours since I ate when I started and hour before I normally eat lunch. I was also a little dizzy on my walk but that turned out to be asthma related and went away once I used my inhaler. The rest of my day went well. My aide stood by while I stood on a chair (she's not allowed to climb on things) and cleaned the ceiling fans and the blind in the bedroom. Tomorrow I go to a food pantry for my dwindling food supplies.0 -
