🗣Comments/Goals: Had a massive drop on the scale this week from my fast and from lessening my training schedule quite a bit— was holding a lot of water weight—so I’m expecting that I will see some pounds come back next week… but I feel better and it was a very good exercise of my mind over matter, and made me feel in control.

My pre-pregnancy jeans were a size UK14 (US10) and after having my son I could not even get them past my thighs, so I lived in leggings for months. I eventually managed to fit into them and after losing some more weight, I currently wear jeans in a UK12 (US8). I’m visiting my mum today and tried on a few pairs of her jeans just to see if they would fit...and they did! They are a size UK10 (US6) They did feel a little snug but I could get them zipped and buttoned no problem. I never thought I’d see the day where I would fit into a size UK10 again 🥳

I love how they say there's a link between sugary drinks and increased risk of death, they leave out the part from heart disease, probably because of all the years that the American Heart Association said to eat more carb (grains) (aka sugar) which does NOT improve heart health. I also love how they're also saying sugary drinks, it's sugar in general...but sugary drinks do tend to be worse because you drink them quicker and don't get full signals like you might if you ate sugar instead, although that's also another issue since sugar is so addicting, you may eat just as much of it anyway...I'll stop ranting...
Here's the Harvard study info if anyone's interested.

Sorry, didn't mean to cause a stir. The medical community hasn't always been perfect, but there are some great doctors and she is one of them.
So to clarify, I'm not bothered by her, she's absolutely right! And good for her to share the information!
What really bothers me medical community in general, and I guess that's partially correct, the food industry and medical community. It really bothers me that they can't just admit that they were wrong and start telling people the right things, they're just starting to stop mentioning grains in their recommendations now instead of telling people WHAT to eat! Like you think that we'd actually want to start reversing the current health crisis and get the information out, but nope, we're just going to tell people things slowly like, drink less soda, etc. I think 10 years from now we will see things like don't eat processed foods and such, which is basically diets like a ketogenic diet or whole 30 or paleo, etc....but we shall see. (and well you can eat processed crap on those if you try hard enough but the idea behind those diets is to limit processed foods)
And nope, that was good information and the Doctor is right! No reason to be sorry!0 -

Thanks for the clarification.
I can understand why this type of information is released slowly though. If you tell people they can't have soft drinks, bread, pasta, frozen dinners, cheese, cereal, etc. then a lot of people would say "forget it" to all of it.
I'm really a big believer in a balanced diet of lean protein, carbs, fat, and fiber. That's just my personal belief and its what I follow. I know I eat too much processed food. I don't eat nearly as much as I did before but its still a weakness. That's one of my future goals.0 -

Track: Yes
Calories under goal: Yes
Exercise: 12,450 steps
I'm excited that the scale has finally started going downward again. I had been a little stuck for about 2 - 3 weeks.
One thing I have noticed with myself is that I have gotten away from eating fresh fruits and vegetables. I might go to the fresh market in the morning to see if I can get some goodies. Eventually I want to reduce the processed food I eat, but I like protein bars too much to ever give them up (and the veggie tots too). This is all a work in progress.

Water: 120 oz
Steps: 4,652
Comments: Finally eating sort of regular and tracking again. Need to increase my water intake and get back on my step goal. My trainer is back from vacay so my rest is over. I needed the rest, not use to allergy season here and it is taking its toll on me. Thinking this may be a summer cold plus allergies, whatever it is it sucks big time!!!

Received my second meal plan delivery today. I am so glad I found this company. This is the first prep company that I have tried that actually tastes good and allows you to choose what you want to order and not get stuck with actual meals that they choose for you. They do have prepared meals but I chose to order A LA CARTE. I order all of my protein so I don't have to spend hours in the kitchen prepping for me and then cooking for my family. I cook my own veggies and carbs (brown rice, quinoa or sweet potato). Here is the link if you want to check ot out http://fbuy.me/m6Owj

May Week 2
Saturday
PW: 143.0 lbs
CW: 141.0 lbs
I actually did this yesterday, but this marks 100 lbs gone. I can't believe it, still doesn't feel real. And on a side note, I'm heading out to the parade for the STL Blues this morning and I'm sporting my blue SMALL tshirt! Never thought that was a reality either.
Keep working hard, this is 3 years in the making for me, but I am almost there! It takes time, but we CAN do it!7
