When I feel run down and fatigued all the time, I add a Vitamin B complex and Vitamin D3 to my regimin for a couple days. It always seems to help...might all be in my head...I feel better because I've DONE something or I feel better in self defense (hate B complex, smells gross to me...I'm kinda sensitive to smells). Sometimes I add iron...that can help too...jenifergotti wrote: »I had blood work this week for fatigue and everything came back normal, so it must be something I’m doing or not doing. Getting frustrated!! 😬😩
Hope you start feeling better!
Thanks! I have been thinking about starting some vitamin b and d, but not sure how much to take? Do you just get it over the counter?0 -

Good morning everyone and happy Saturday!
Not sure what the weekend means under these weird circumstances... but I wanted to ask all of you if being home and quarantined (unless you are working out there instead of at home in which case I say thank you) has affected your eating habits. For me, it’s been confronting because food is always just right there. But I’ve tried to eat healthy and provide healthy food for my family. There’s no distracting myself through my teaching day.
But... last summer I was successful in losing weight because I had time to focus on it and do this stuff... log my food, connect with fine folks like you all, think about why it matters to me. I’m a teacher so I’m lucky to have that time in the summer.
Anyway, the weekend is also a chance to take that time and to focus on exercise. It can be an opportunity as well as a challenge. What’s it like for all of you... work days vs. days off in terms of your habits?
I have been a stay home mom for 13 years and was in great shape until I went back to school 2 years ago. When I am home, I eat good and exercise more consistently, when I have out of the home stuff going on, that when I gain......0 -

Isn’t that interesting? There are all different ways! :-)

Tough week for me this week. I am stressed out about moving and all that needs to be done and I have let it get to me. Also it’s been HOT here like 113* hot so my walks have not happened. Thought about it this morning but it was already 90* at 8:00 and the sun was blazing.
I am afraid to step on the scale but I will do so tomorrow. I need to keep posting to keep me motivated and honest.1 -

Yes, just whatever they have at Walmart or equivalent pharmacy. The B complex I take has 180 mg of C, 50 mg of B1, 12.5 mg of B2, 50mg of B3, 5 mg of B5, 400 mg of Folate, 12.5 mg of B12, 45 mg of Biotin, and 50 mg of Panthothenic acid, so it isn't all B and I never take it for more than 3-4 days. D3 is 25mcg.0 -

GW: 157
Total weight lost: 3.3
Time to take accountability. I gained 1.3 lb since the last time I weighed. I was stressed and made bad choices. I need to do better as the stress of buying/ selling a house and moving during these uncertain times is going to keep growing until It is over. I have little control over some things but I can control how I react to the stress. I will do better this week.1 -
Checking in...
Starting: 95kg Current 94.9kg
Mini goal: 90kg
End goal: 73kg
Up 0.2kg this week. I'm struggling to get into a reasonable-eating routine. Nighttime snacking is my kryptonite.
This week I'm going to walk every day and do bodyweight exercises on Mon, Wed and Fri. I will keep 250 calories for evening snacks.
Good luck, all.2 -

My krytonite is eating out and I am totally sick of eating out. But it’s easy when I’m busy and my will power is week.
My goal this week is to not eat any takeout.2 -

Ok, we survived Monday!!!
How did everyone do?
Who has a success?
Who identified work that needs to be done?
I had a stressful Monday. My daughter agreed and had ordered Chinese takeout before I was even aware. Luckily, I had plenty of room for the extra calories. Unfortunately, it is sitting heavy and I feel a little gross now. Now, I have to flush out all of this sodium by Saturday!!!
Goal for tomorrow - increase the water and stay in a caloric deficit!

I did really well today--three 20 minute walks and one 30 minute. I did a bit of core early. I stuck with my calories and am under...even got a glass of yummy Mango wine (from WI, SO weird! But yummy!).
And 3 liters of water...I've been terrible at hydrating lately. Back at it!2 -
Yesterday, I did a 20 minute daily burn video and today my quads HURT. I forced myself to drink water today but I didn’t want to because it would make me pee more and sitting to standing is what is killing me right now.1
