So Saturday is my husband’s birthday. I always take him and the family out to dinner. He always picks the Mandarin which is a Chinese buffet. Do you guys have any tips for dealing with a buffet.0

Running very late today. It’s been a very busy day here with the family. Everyone is home due to this corona visits. The boys schools have been in contact with all parents giving lessons and homework so they don’t get too far behind so I’ve been playing teacher today. I also got my workout done this morning and got my cleaning done as it gets so messy with everyone here. Tomorrow is my rest day and as Ive done most of my cleaning today I’m going to be going through my stuff in the basement and start throwing stuff out before our big move.
Yesterday’s appointment with my trainer went well. He said since I trusted him with his low numbers and I saw some changes can I please trust him just a little further. He upped me once again. I am now at 2030 calories a day 😲 let’s see how this goes. My weight is up 0.4 this morning but I also started my TOM today so this may be the culprit.
Also I’m working on a step challenge to try to get more people to participate and motivated in getting more steps in. Working on the final details and will be rolling it out come Sunday! All area will count from the beginning of March so keep this handy!

•Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.

Weigh-in March week 2
Previous: 238.3 lbs
Current weight: 235.5 lbs
That's almost 3 pounds. Not sure if I should believe the scale or not.
I'm starting to track my waist etc measurements today. So that I don't rely solely on the scale.
My tshirts fit a bit loose and a skirt I bought in December is slightly looser too. When I bought it, I could barely get the zip up and had to wear tshirts over the skirt. Now I can tuck them in.
I took the week off from the gym last week.
Going back to it today.
Goal:
1. Log all food and drink.
2. Get 8 hours of sleep
3. Exercise 4 times a week
You are doing something right! Keep up the great work!Weigh in:
Previous weight 310.4
Current weight 308.2
Nicely done!!

That’s a tough one Linda. The only thing I can think of is to go for mostly veggies but even those are super high in sodium. I would suggest to just drink lots of water the next day as you may see a spike. Don’t let it stress you out just accept it and then work on bringing it down. The important thing is to enjoy his special day together.0 -

Great day! Those steps are incredible! Not sure I have ever had such a high stepping day. How did you accumulate so many?1 -
I have been doing Couch Potato to 5k or walking a couple of miles in the morning and then I walk around a lot at work most days. Weekends and Netflix are not good for steps😉.2

A gain this week, but I am so incredibly bloated, 😫 I always retain crazy amounts of fluid during certain times of my cycle. I’ve been eating under calories, and keeping up with workouts, hopefully I drop back down in the next few days.
I did have a NSV this week, I take pole fitness classes and my last class on Monday was awesome, I felt so much stronger then usual, and was able to get a couple of poses I have not been able to before.
At the end of the day I don’t really care about my weight as a number, I want to be strong, fit and healthy...and I want feel confident in a bikini on the beach 🏖1 -

Good morning! ☀️ scale has creeped up the last 2 days but I can’t really say it’s because of upping my calories. I’m on day 2 of my TOM and I usually put on water weight these days from the bloating so this is actually not too bad. I’m usually up a couple of lbs but only up 0.6 so far.
Today is rest day for me and as I did my house cleaning yesterday, today’s plan is to start clearing out our basement and taking things to the dump in preparation of our big move this summer.
As for my new calorie goal I feel like I’m always full and now forcing myself to get it all in. Before I was constantly thinking “what am I gonna eat” to “ugh it’s time to eat again”. He has me eating 2030 calories split in 5 meals. Breakfast before 8am, 10am, 12:30pm, 4 pm, and 7pm. I’m so tired of eating now and always feeling full. I started doing protein shakes at those snack times along with some nuts and fruit. I needed help with the protein and couldn’t even fathom the thought of more food. I’m sticking to it. I really want to see what my 2 week weigh in will reveal after these changes. My trainer Achille guaranteed me results so I’m going all the way.
