This is the second week in a row where I am very slightly trending upward.
It is hard because I know it is all on me to do a better job following my diet. I have had a few medical issues, and am working through some other stresses in my life which is making it really hard to prioritize my health and weight-loss. I’m just trying to remind myself that it is a lifestyle change, and that I need to follow through even when I am stressed.
@Beka3695 looking great!
love it!

Good Morning Kiddos
Crazy weekend that I had
I got my 7 miles in yesterday and I am so hungry today.
I had some string cheese but I could still and want to eat.
I didn't prep this week but I had a ton of food left over from the food day we had.
My son wants to make me dinner tonight. That could be scary!5 -

Happy Monday! I've been dealing with some back and hip issues over the past month. For the first time in weeks, I was able to go to (and finish) my OrangeTheory workout this morning. My hip is a little sore after, but not too bad. I hope everyone's Monday is off to a good start.4

I saw your whopping calorie burn! That is impressive!!! I have a two week free pass to OT that I really need to use.
Take care of that hip/back!1 -

Weight lost - 2.5 pounds.
Very happy with my loss this week, and even more with my mentality about food. I learned that I can have a slice of pizza, or a small burger and fries, and still stay within my calories and even lose weight.
Getting so close to my September goal of 229 pounds. 2 more Mondays to go. Since I had a good weight loss this week, I do expect a much slower loss next week - just seems to be how it works for me.6 -
@boehle - I am enjoying my breakfast routine of Jimmy Dean Muffin with egg white, cheese, and turkey sausage, along with a mug of coffee with Vanilla creamer.
This month, I am trying to take my thyroid meds first thing in the morning, then wait 60 minutes before eating, so my breakfast is later than I am used to, but I am managing.2 -
Back to the norm on the food front, porridge with fruit in the morning, salad + fruit & yoghurt for lunch, and coffee... lots of coffee.
I brought in cake to thank people at work for supporting my cancer research cycle challenge. It always seems that nobody wants to be the person to eat the last piece of cake so I did the honours, sorry, not sorry!3 -

As I head into the final week of this month's challenge, I am going to try yoga, as that was my other goal for September (when I last tried yoga, I was about 80lbs heavier, and it was just painful and demoralising. I think I've lost enough now that I will be able to manage it).
You weigh less than me and I’ve been going since February. You can do it! Don’t be afraid to make modifications if needed. Honor your body.
Speaking of yoga, our new session started today and I wasn’t practicing at home like I should. I’m feeling it right now-gosh we were all so stiff this morning!

I never skimp on breakfast! Today I was a bit rushed so I had a low-fat eggo with peanut butter and cinnamon, a strip of bacon, a fresh local peach from the farmers market, and coffee.

Tuesday morning and I'm back on it..... 3.2 up on the scales today but hoping that'll disappear before weigh in!
Had a lovely weekend away but now not feeling at my most organised best this week. Going to make it a good one through sheer determination not to fall off the wagon!
Looking forward to the weekend and being able to plan and batch cook etc already!
Hipe everyone's doing well this week so far 3 -

Been good some and bad some this week so cancelled out nearly. Struggling with pain atm so lying low.4 -
I am performing Intermittent fasting today for a couple of reasons.
1. Had a client come in as soon as the doors opened and it is now 10 am and I'm really not hungry
2. My company is buying lunch. This never happens so I will save calories and take advantage
3. I am having dinner with my neighbors - GNO... There will be pizza.
How is everyone else doing today?
@showkitten - I am so sorry your in pain. Big hugs, Steph!4 -

Things are somewhat stressful for me these days however I am reading all posts here everyday for motivation. Next week going for annual health check up. Last time my cholesterol level was on upper side of normal but thankfully glucose level was okay. Feeling remores as expected to be lighter for the check up but being unruly in eating last week crushed my plans.1

I had a post typed up and then it vanished into the MFP black hole?
For me, it was another long weekend of indulgence. It showed up with a hefty gain on the scale this morning. Hopefully it will fade by weigh day. Lately I've been in a cycle of three days on plan and four days off. I am looking for the trick to staying consistently on plan?
I have been having some Achilles's pain for about the last week. I had heard from other people that KT tape really helps. I taped it up and took it easy on the exercise for a couple of days. I'm not sure if it was the rest or the tape or the combination, but it feels much better.
Steps:
9/13 17,806
9/14 5,444
9/15 7,515
9/16 13,735
Wishing everyone a great day!3 -
Back in the groove after 3 days off following a somewhat robust challenge at football moved my ribs around a bit. Just got to push through as football is tomorrow evening and I don't want to let the guys down. Cycled again tonight and managed 9 miles at 19.6mph in the middle so not all bad. MFP getting annoying and logging me out everytime I change page but what can I expect for free! Overall still a darn fine week and I'm going to go and give my wife a hug now
There seems a good deal of stress and/or tension bubbling under the surface - let it out folks, we are about as impartial as you are going to get!1 -

Has anyone heard or tried salt therapy? I was at an event and they had a draw for 3 prizes. They did the draw live today on instagram and I won 45 minutes in the salt cave. I am excited to try this.2

I’ve been sick since last Wednesday with a cold so hoping today I can make it back to the gym. It’s a weird feeling to not go and I have this irrational feeling that missing one week blew all the progress I made in terms of strength and making it through a class.4 -
