Weigh in day Friday
starting weight: 219.5
Previous weight: 216.6
current weight 215.5
Friday Challenge Check-in of week 3 July (I am LATE! So LATE!!)
Food: all food logged, on plan, under on calories
Water: 8 a day, most days
Exercise: Been doing well! I missed exercising on Tuesday but every other day last week had intentional exercise
Next Day Goals (for all weekend!)
Food: make choices that are good for me and less sodium! Less sodium is working well for me, more a reduced sodium plan over low sodium - don't want to go there unless I have to
Water: no less than 8!
Exercise: multiple walks a day, housecleaning - maybe an evening bike ride!
Goals or Improvements for tomorrow: Check in with SLIMPOSSIBLES!! Drink more water, remember the good, be the good and encourage others on their journey
Wow, falling down on checking in - definitely to be worked on. Work has been very busy, have had some stress in both work and personal life but oddly has not increased or negatively impacted my eating, very happy about that. A little concerned about my planned dinner tonight (Fathead Pizza, first time - already logged it to see how it impacts me!) as that all rolls into a lot of sodium. I'm adjusting with the other foods today and should be ok from a whole day standpoint - but the cost may come from a sodium bullet of over 1000 mgs in one meal. I have been craving pizza and hubby is a low-carber so this is our compromise. Calories are similar so I think it will be acceptable from that end.
@AustinRuadhain - you are part of my 'remember the good' in this journey! I am very grateful for your efforts, cheerleading as it has been so aptly said. It's so important to recognize all of the wonderful small things that happen around and to us. =>6 -
Here's what I've come up with so far. And, feel free to add your own vacation survival ideas!!
1. Make the most of our alone time: maximize fasting in every way possible; hikes and long walks for exercise; careful low-carb shopping (Lite and Fit yogurt; prepared chicken strips and spring mix; good cheddar; almond milk for coffee; eggs; some Skinny Pop).
2. Arm myself for those evening 'sit by the lake with wine, beer and friends ' challenges: bring a cooler full of lime selzer and sliced lemons and limes; don't feel self conscious or apologetic; eat something filling/satisfying before we go and don't snack! Or bring along some almonds to share.
3. Prepare, prepare, prepare for eating out: try to look at the menu ahead of time and make smart, low-carb choices; have a glass of GOOD red wine and ENJOY it!! (but only one!).
4. LOG everything, even if I can't weigh in.
Your turn!!Here's what I've come up with so far. And, feel free to add your own vacation survival ideas!!

Sounds like a great plan! Working out will give you extra calories too. I already know tomorrow will be a bust, but I'm going to do my best to not overeat. I feel like I'm walking a tight line of sticking to plan and being a pain-in-the-butt!2 -

I've not been eating meals regularly so been eating things that are not nutritious and calorie dense.
Low mood meant that I chose food based on feelings than hunger. It's my 2nd month in this challenge and I haven't eaten with the best choices.
I'm making a commitment to try every day a new than see it in a week I'll try again.3 -

It's a difficult journey - and that's with the stars aligned. Are there one or two things you can influence for change? Maybe shopping on a different day or pre-packing lunch...? Just some ideas tossed out, not knowing what your challenges are. With low mood, maybe if you can look for only one or two things to change and focus on them, you can get some small wins and feel encouragement from within...the best kind. Maybe that will help your overall feelings and lead to more successes? We're with ya - we've all been there, having to take the first step (and sometimes, again). Make it a small step, meaningful to you. It's ok to not do everything at once and it's ok for it to be as slow as it needs to be. Thinking of you - keep trying, it's the most important part.2 -

These are all great - especially love #2....most especially for not being apologetic and for eating before eating - that is a tactic for me, too! I might add - use this as a time to cook something super delicious and on-plan to share with your friends. I like doing this because then I *know* I have something to eat and everyone is eating it or it's a part of the overall meal and we're all sharing. It's a win/win where I feel both included and contributory.2 -

Everything @raleighgirl09 says here is so smart.
When I started this journey, my big victories were things like pushing back time a little before I ate something not nutritious and calorie dense. If you can look at where you are at, can you find something small that's a step, and then concentrate on having that one small thing happen? So the day is a WIN if you make that one step in the direction you want to go?
Keep trying. And as the very wise @raleighgirl09 says, we are here and thinking of you.
Losing weight is not for sissies. This is a big, challenging project, and we all find many ways to fail before we find a way to succeed.2 -

All of this is so awesome!
@Katmary71 - I so get the worry about being a pain in the butt!
And... maybe your willingness to look for ways to include people but also have things work for you will inspire your friends. I gotta say, it is inspiring ME. I have a big project I have been working on where I have not been getting enough help. I am out to look at how to include friends more, so we have the project work and I don't have it consume all my free time this week!2 -

Just keep trying your best! I struggle when I don't have routine meals. I've been trying keeping protein bars on hand so I don't eat too much, it sometimes helps. Great attitude!2 -

Good morning everyone!
Calories maintenance
Exercise elliptical, going to do it for an hour after my morning coffee
Today is the party we are throwing for my cousin. My only food option will be sandwiches and salads (like pasta salad) so it'll be higher than I'm used to. I'll be running around a lot so hopefully that'll help.
Great job team! I was up this week so I wasn't any help.2 -

Hey there! No pass. You were part of this week's victory! We all have up and down weeks, and even months.
It's a group thing, and a not stopping thing. You are a super awesome part of the conversation that supports us all.
As far as today -- a big wow to fitting in exercise time after coffee and before the party! That's some impressive commitment! Have a great time at the party! One higher day is just one day. It's your consistent work that is getting you to your goal!3 -
Sunday Check in
Calories: under
Water: over
Exercise: a whole lot of packing, purging, donating, and sorting.
Yesterday, I painted my Pepto-Bismol pink laundry room. It took 3 coats of paint to cover that hideous color. What was I thinking to EVER pick such a color?
NEVER again!! My body is hurting so bad from going up and down a ladder all day that I couldn't even make dinner and caved in and let hubby buy us Subway subs. I enjoyed every bite of that bread!

Daily Post Saturday
Track yes
Calories yes under
Exercise yes cutting grass1 -
Wow, another weigh in at the hospital, with boots again, but am up by 1kg to 78kg - translates as 171.6lbs. Now, some of that may be ice cream, for sure, but a lot of it is water retention and maybe a little tumour growth too. Getting more and more people mistaking Eric for a pregnancy bump, and the skin is so tight round my belly. It's getting properly uncomfortable, but fingers crossed, have a surgery date within the deadline we're trying to get confirmed within the next couple of days.
If it all works out , that's in just over 2 weeks. So, I'm on super healthy countdown!
Steps since last check-in:
Thursday 25th - 13431
Friday 26 - 13867
Saturday 27 - 12735
Sunday 28 - 6830 - needed a rest!
Someone has bought homemade cake into the office. Look at me, going to ignore it and eat my little blue egg with some spinach!
