TEAM: Run Track Minds (August)

Part of my other challenge was to plan my meals ahead for 3 days with only minimal substitutions. I did not plan to be out during lunchtime today, and it’s like a Pavlovian response for me to think I need to eat something I don’t get everyday when I am. I live in the woods, work in small city w/ basic fast food. I decided to drive 40 minutes away for better grocery options instead of putting it off, and was passing lots of options I like or might like to try.
I am now back at the house, eating what I had logged, instead of carry out, hoping my resolve holds out and I don’t derail it in some other way.0 -
Daily Post (Tuesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Day: I received some very unexpected news at work which resulted in going out for dinner and drinks with BF to celebrate on a whim. I was offered a huge promotion, and while I still haven't accepted and need to get some things sorted through first, BF wanted to celebrate me in general. So went off plan, AND we already had dinner plans tonight as it is Restaurant Week in DC, so will likely be over calories again tonight. But my overall goal with this healthy journey was to not deprive myself and to find a healthy balance between life and food and this is one of the times that life came up and derailed my plans for this week. So I plan to just focus on damage control. Today I had a very small lunch as the meal we are having tonight is 3 courses as part of the whole experience, so it will be harder to accommodate at dinner. I will also need to do damage control for my long weekend away, but that I am going to take day by day and pick which meals I can stay on track for and which ones I can indulge a little. We will see how everything turns out. But BF and I only have one more weekend after this with social commitments, then things will slow down and I will be able to commit more energy to this journey and hopefully start seeing faster results.1 -
I’m finally back from vacation and back on track with logging my foods. I went food shopping today and didn’t buy any sweets. I bought all healthy snacks. If it’s not in the house, I can’t eat it!1

One Thing Did Well: I did not have one huge eating binge all week which is definitely something I feel proud of
One Thing To Improve: the water! I’ll drink like 5 or 6 cups in a day or somethings less than that but I know it’s definitely suppose to be more than that!! Any tips on how to drink more water ?

Yesterday’s weight was lower, but I know it’s bloat related0 -
Daily report Thursday
Run: no workout but spent the whole day trail walking through woods with the family so I probably burnt a fair bit of calories.
Track: yes, just over, although poor food choices (eating on the go)
Mind: a very busy week so my head was not focussed on food. I did try to eat sensibly but did not track most of the week. I'm hopeful I've at least maintained this week but the scale tomorrow will reveal all 0 -
Daily Post: Thursday
Track: Yes
Calorie: under. I’ve begun pre-logging my meals which I think is helping me to stay on track.
Exercise: just cleaning my house.
I finally found my charger for my Apple Watch. Last time I wore it was when I went into labor with my son. That was over 2 months ago! So I feel like I’m getting back on track with that too.

Good evening everybody! I have a NSV for today. On Monday I fell while walking the dog, and sprained (maybe strained??) my ankle - in addition to getting all scraped up. I did what I could in the moment to get things right, and told myself I wanted to be back up and moving normally by Thursday. Well! I did it!! I’ve had my ankle wrapped, and been wearing tennis shoes all week. I’m excited to say that when I got home from work today I took the dog on a full walk! I didn’t have to modify, or cut it short. My ankle feels so much better, and I’m happy I’m able to get back out there after just a few days. I’m excited and proud of myself 🙂
Gotta lose this 3 lbs to get to my monthly goal weight of 163!
Happy losing everybody!2 -

Stayed under calories today by bringing my lunch! Bought a new scale from Amazon and tested it out. It’s really cool and uses Bluetooth to sync my data to an app. It not only logs weight, but body fat, muscle weight, BMI, and a bunch of other things.1

Weighed in technically on Thursday so I’m confident that with an extra day i would have been down at least by a bit. Also has two meals out early in the week which is unusual. Not too upset about this. Just moving on and forward0 -

Not going to expect a loss this week but also not expecting a gain. We will see Sunday. That’s okay whatever happens because sometimes we aren’t perfect!0
