Well 2/3 of the chocolates and over 1/2 the bottle of wine still in the fridge. I'm taking that as a big victory!
Boring day here but no complaints from me. Need some quiet and alone time I think

I know it’s water retention, but I don’t like it. I felt like crap all week, so I barely cooked. Are Italian pizza place take out food 2 nights and Chinese food last night, so my sodium intake for the week was much higher than usual.
I also didn’t work out AT ALL because I’ve been sick... Feeling a little better, so time to get things back on track.

What does everyone else have planned for this weekend/long weekend for us US folks?
We're still locked down here so go nowhere do nothing... it's coming up on 6 months - unbelievable. The big event of weekends is my once a week leaving the school (I live inside a boarding school) to walk 10 minutes to the closest grocery store. No long weekend for me but I'm married to an American so he's at least looking forward to a day off on Monday.

Weigh In Day: Saturday
PW (Previous Weight): 138.8 lbs (63.1kg)
CW (Current Weight): 139.3 lbs (63.2kg)
Last week was not a good week. I was just generally feeling fed up. It was cold. My period should have come but I'm peri-menopausal so it didn't and who knows when it will show up. I had days when I was up a full kg so actually I'm very thankful to get away with such a small gain over the week. But this is my first Saturday - Saturday gain since I started 133 days ago so that's a bit of a bummer.
Hopefully next week will be better and I'll wallow in self-pity a little less!
Enjoy the long weekend those of you who are having one.

I've realized over the time here that setting goals does NOT work for me. If I tell myself to lose 5lbs this month I end up "expecting" it. I used to do this and it just affects the mood too much. Like it can literally ruin the day. Not cool. So I am trying to just stick to cals and lose what I can. It seems more fun to me to get an unexpected weight loss and be happy about it.
I completely agree. I changed how I set "goals" back in January based on a book I read called "Finish". Unrealistic goals too often just set us up for disappointment, frustration, and failure. So I certainly have a goal of losing weight and being healthy, but the time frame doesn't take priority anymore. Yes, it's been a slow process - I started in January and am not quite at 20 pounds. But you know what - normally I would have tried, failed, quit, tried again - repeat. I just keep plugging along, knowing that I am trending down and those pounds are staying off - even with those weeks where I gain a little or stay the same. Stick with it - don't give up.4 -

This has been a great week because my sweet work out lady has returned from maternity leave and we had two (online) sessions this week.
It felt so good to get back into the groove but man do I feel so weak doing the workouts.
Next week we will get back to our normal three sessions a week.
Weigh in is Sunday morning early for me so I don’t get know if I will see a scale change.2 -

Total weight lost 67.8 lbs, 14.2 lbs to my revised goal. I am aware that a good chunk of the recent loss is water weight from 11 days of keto though it doesn't stop me smiling 😊2 -

Week one done!
How's everyone feeling/doing? Any plans to make week 2 a successful one?
I've plan ed out my meals for the week and scheduled in my exercises. Currently cooking a Balti and the flat smells amazing. Did an insane workout this morning called 'load and explode' so much fun but so far above my current fitness level, cant move now tomorrow morning may well be a challenge!
Need to do a bit of planningfor an early morning class I've got tomorrow but otherwise I'm horizontal on the sofa for the rest of the day..... not spending money or overeating makes my life boring.... but a weekend of battery recharging was much needed!4 -
I have been thinking about making minor changes to my food allowance and/or workouts.
I was surprised I did not hit the one pound goal weight loss this week (although I came close) as I have been eating perfectly and working out.
I will go one more week with the workouts coming back on line with my trainer MWF and see where I end up on Sunday.
If next Sunday I don’t hit at least a pound, I may have to go to daily working out instead of three trainer sessions and a treadmill session each week.
Also I can cut down from 1293 to 1250 to start.
I have a 70 week plan and really want to come very close to hitting that.4 -

Hi everyone!!!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!!!
I started today with a 5 mile run/walk. Came back home and hubby and I moved furniture from 2 bedrooms then removed carpet and pad. We are taking a break before going back and pulling up all the staples from the floor. We are doing what we can ourselves so that we can have extra work done due to the great flood of 2020.
I have learned today that my running days are over. This makes me so sad. In May of 2019, I injured my back while out of the country and did not receive proper medical care for 10 days. The after effects of this injury have appeared each time I have tried to increase my runs. After mile 3, I realized that I could no longer tippy toe on my left foot. If you can't tippy toe, you can't propel yourself forward.
Guess I will become one heckuva walker!!!7 -
