Post holiday weigh in. 168.5.
Great holiday, lots of walking but lots of extra calories too.
Realised how easy it is to drink calories - I just have water, tea and coffee at home but had juice, smoothies, rich milky coffees and wine on holiday.
My hip is holding up exercise at bit at the moment so really going to focus on diet this week.
Glad to be back in the challenge!3 -

I actually find this helpful as well and has helped with my loss the past few weeks. I think getting those exercise calories back can be an excuse to eat more, so I just track food and stay under my calorie goal that way. Exercise is just for myself and the mini-challenge.3 -
Mini-challenge
6/9
tracked: yes
calories: no (I would have been under but my mother in law sent my wife home with a piece of homemade pie and I caved)
activity: no, I got maybe 5 hrs of sleep the night before
Not the best start to the week but after the chaos of last week I guess I needed a day of nothing.
I am hoping my job will get back to some level of being normal this week and maybe my life can follow suit. If my hopes are right I plan to get back to my gym routine tonight after work.3 -

It was a crazy weekend with family obligations. It was hard to find time to exercise, and I had little control over what food was served, and just tried to be mindful and eat appropriate portions. Back to it this week.

Tues: Yes
Wed: Yes
Thurs: Yes
Fri: Yes

Still, for June overall:

Lost the pound I'm supposed to based on calorie settings in MFP. We'll call it good!4 -
hey all, i'm still here just very into my books - my test is in 35 days and no lie, i'm a giant stress monkey. (HR Certification test)
tracking hasn't gone well which is a bummer, but my weight is holding steady. I'm still getting out for a walk or run and I'm really planning on hitting the pool this week because honestly, the water helps me get out of my head (i have to focus hard on swimming and doing everything right, which kicks the animal brain down a couple pegs and quiets it)
the biggest victory i had over the weekend was not going to wendy's when i took my dog for a quick vet visit. i was craving one of their meals haaaard and i have to drive by a wendy's oh-so-conveniently. weird craving, but there it was and my mouth was watering like crazy.
i ended up coming home and making myself some pasta with parm and lemon which wasn't great calorie wise, but it hit the spot and kept me going.
my runs are going ok. My hip still hurts which is frustrating and I had a moment of just... depression i guess... that i am never going to be able to jog a full 5k without walking. still though, i'm better than i was when i started and i felt good after the full 40 minutes practicing.
tonight my husband and i are going to do some planks. The Navy is changing up it's PT testing in 2020 and doing away with situps (about time) and moving to planks instead. I think my goal for planks this month was an hour total which I may not hit, but I'd like to have some time on the board. If i'm feeling particularly persuasive, I'm going to see if he'll do some yoga with me too
anyway. It's monday and I'm having Tikki Masala delivered for lunch and it's going to be a great gosh darn week, darn it. Kick butt, big butt-ers. haha. butter.
sigh. i need more coffee.

A not so happy rainy Monday here and it isnt starting like I planned... but guess this shows what I mean for needing real uninterrupted sleep. Bed at 1150 after all were settled in the house and I finished all the kitchen chores. Then hubby was off to work at 3 (I was up with him) back to bed and daughter at 420 so I woke up.. son and daughter out of house at 5 and 515 so awake for that.. up at 610 for final awake for youngest get him on bus at 7. Home to make meal plans, sat down and here it is 10am and I have been awake about 15 minute... guess the body said sleep.. even sitting up.
Now to meal plan quickly, get to store, home to prep dinner and get downstairs for home gym time as going to the gym is out today.2 -

@ susanpiper57 thank you for this article. It's a new day in the 'health' world as these convos are happening. As someone long proud of her weight, it still irritates me when sisters spend time talking about losing, losing, losing. I'm like, I just asked how are you, not what diet you're on
. In any case, thanks for that share! 1 -

@danielletoynton9, you knew it wasn't going to be great, so being up only a pound is actually a great outcome!! Still down three for the month!!

@brandi_84, that's great, Brandi!! Your hard work and patience is paying off!!1 -
In case anyone was curious, eating chips out of the bag while googling ways to loose weight isn’t a very successful technique lol 🙂Enjoy the week !
@LMK02020, or eating chips out of the bag while watching people exercise on TV!! I'll transfer your weight over for this week, as long as you rid the house of all chips!!4 -

@Krysless2, What a great idea, Krystal!! Let's everyone post their GOALS FOR THIS WEEK!!
Let me start by saying I had a really bad week last week!! It started with extreme exhaustion on Tuesday evening and spiralled out of control from there!! I need to sleep better, so therefore I need to eat better. When I eat a lot of crappy food, combined with not drinking enough water, I do not sleep for much more than four or five hours. That is not enough for me!! Another way to help with better sleep is to go to bed more tired. I need to burn more calories during the day. Walking, or running, for any length of time I don't feel is an option right now, so I need to get back to the gym and see if maybe the bike or the elliptical will be viable alternatives. That being said, my goals for the week are:
1. Drink 12 glasses of water daily.
2. Get to the gym once.
3. Finish March/April in-house statements at work.
I need to start small.
I have similar problems with sleep. Except sleeping troubles seem to lead to bad eating habits as I sometimes feel too drained to think about healthy meals and throw something together to eat to give me some energy or make me feel better. But that is probably what keeps the cycle going. I hope this week will be better for you.
I found that weights and resistance bands have been a good substitute for when I cannot walk much (running is definitely out for me) for burning up some energy and to give me the feeling that my muscles are working. It isn't exactly cardio but it is something. Although I stopped strength training for a few weeks because of a million excuses. I did arms today ! I really do enjoy it once I get started.4 -
Monday eve 22:12 really miserable weather today so cold brr suppost to be british summer time lol
... too many cups of tea inbetween the bottles of lemon infused water(really good for getting the digestive system going)
Anyway food logged (just under my calories, has anyone tried the 5.2 diet? And does it work?) water logged and excercise steps count at 188661 -
