Just bad. I’m not tracking, not posting here, my kids are home for the summer(didn’t think that would be such a factor in my eating but my routine has really changed of course), I let myself be on “vacation” last weekend because we really aren’t having a vaca this year and I didn’t stop through the week, I’ve been eating a lot more carbs even though I’m not actually eating a lot, I’ve been busy getting ready for my sons bday party this weekend, my TOM is here and I’m still on antibiotics till next week. So there’s all my “excuses” for my poor eating choices. 😕 I’m not sure what is water weight and what is true weight gain but I need to get through the party then I’m promising myself to get back in line!!3 -
Question of the week:
Name one thing you did well this week and one thing that you can improve on for next week.
One thing I did well: I rested when I needed to (i.e., skipped some workouts this week because I wasn't feeling good) - WITHOUT feeling guilty or binge-ing. I managed to stay in my calorie allotment those days (not sure why that surprised me since I rarely eat many of my exercise calories) and get some extra steps in those days.
One thing I can improve on: my weekend nutrition! I have a hard time tracking on the weekends - my schedule isn't set like it is during the week, I don't have my meals already portioned out, etc., so, although I make better choices than I would have a few months ago, I'm still generally just guessing on whether I'm over or under on my calories, etc. Hopefully I can tighten that down a little this weekend (even if I don't get 100% of what goes in my mouth on my log...)3 -
Daily check in for Thursday
Track: yes
Calories: yes - well, technically I was 16 over my "target" but (1) I personally think that's close enough to be within the margin of error
and (2) those 16 calories didn't make a dent in the 380+ exercise calories I gained
Water: yes - 140 oz (wahoo - finally got that number up there - heat and humidity definitely encourages me to drink more!)
Exercise: Yes: 30 minute trainer/HIIT/deck of cards session.
I didn't feel great yesterday due to a random assortment of little, physical issues (none of which I can really do anything about). Luckily, I had already committed to attending training/small group session. Not only did I get some outdoor exercising in, but, even though it didn't make me feel better at the time, I think it has a lot to do with me feeling better today. And it's FRIDAY!! Wahoo! Happy weekend eve, y'all!2 -

@SLIMn2016 I saw some CRAZY fluctuations when I ate carbs, and especially when I counted net carbs, and certain foods did that to me as well, something to think about, you might actually be eating something that your is causing inflammation in your body which will cause water weight gain. If you weigh daily look at what you ate when you saw the scale jump up. And watch it if you eat those things again and see what happens.1 -
There are cookies, from a local bakery, at my desk. My desk if pretty much centralized for our department, and it has a bar/ledge that "goodies" get left on periodically (especially at Christmas). So someone got a box of cookies from the really good local bakery and decided to share. I'm threatening to send the cookies into a meeting this afternoon, but I'm not sure if I can hold out that long. I might have to make some adjustments to dinner. I guess, ultimately, I just have to decide if it's worth it!2
-
And now someone has offered me pie. Seriously, people?!?!?!?
On the plus side, any time I'm tempted, I just ask myself if I'd rather have a cookie (or pie) now, or would I rather have a treat with my family this weekend. That's a no-brainer...
2 -
But seriously, WTH people (that I work with)?!?!? The pie was something someone brought back from lunch for me. But...
I was just dropping off paperwork in another department, and 3 or 4 people offered me birthday cake. And not normal, store bought birthday cake (not that there's anything wrong with that), but something homemade. I think there were oreos involved (and ice cream, apparently). I'm not really sure, because I got the heck out of there! Of course, at this point, my refusal is as much out of stubborness as anything else (I turned down the cookies (that are still at my desk) and pie (that someone brought to me) - so I better just turn down the birthday goodies as well).
So, does turning down food count as exercise??
Oh, and can you imagine if I'd had that first cookie earlier? It seriously would have just been a slippery slope to a sugar coma this afternoon...1 -

So I have been trying to drink more and more water hoping these migraines will KICK ROCKS but no such luck. The good news is that my doctor said they think my migraine could be because of the low potassium so I just started the Potassium Chloride regimen yesterday so hopefully my migraines will soon dissipate3 -

A slight gain, but I'm still getting used to the digital scale. I've had a rough week with allergy problems so am just trying to get well and build up more activity. Thanks for the words of encouragement,1 -

Hope your migraine goes away soon. They are NOT fun. I’ve suffered from migraines since my early 20s. Hang in there. Hugs.0 -

Definitely not my best week for exercise, but sometimes “stuff” just happens. Oh well. 🤷🏼♀️ I think those challenges helped me focus a little more on the nutrition side of things.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!1 -

Daily check in sat june 22
Tracked mostly
Slightly over
Exercise yes0 -
Daily check in for Saturday
Track: yes, mostly (pretty sure I missed a few bites here and there - lots of cooking)
Calories: over, but well within the “exercise” calories for stuff I did yesterday
Water: about 100
Exercise: kinda
I was over my calories, but I think I stayed within my extra calories earned. I know the amount given by MFP are high, but I did spend most of my day cooking, doing laundry, doing dishes, grilling and putting a pool together! And even though I I didn’t get every bite tracked, this is still better than I usually do!0
