😕 But can't say that I'm surprised. I just can't seem to find my groove this year.
Will post my MUAC as soon as I can get my Fitbit to synch. Although I know it's a ridiculously low number of steps after 6 hours of online training yesterday. 😕
We finally got some snow ❄️ here in Southern Maryland so maybe I will go outside and shovel. @cmhubb99 and @erikNJ had been hogging it all. 😊
@DaffyGirl88
The year is still young. You'll find your groove soon, I am sure. Don't hurt your back shoveling. Stay warm.0 -
Weigh in wasn't horrible, but I have to say that eating cookies for breakfast, even two days in a row, is causing inflammation I can see and feel, and makes me sluggish. That has to stop. Calories are not always the best indicator.
2/12/2021 Friday weigh in: 164.2 (-.4 this week, -.2 overall)
I am planning ahead for next week's lunches using your tips - thank you! I just need to wrap my head around it as a CHOICE not a PUNISHMENT. That's the mental game I play.

I seem to be a day behind here...
Tuesday, February, 9th
logged: yes
under: yes
exercise: yes, 26 minutes of resistance bands
Wednesday, February 10th
I logged, and was under and exercised (23 minutes of Fitness Blender). I even closed out my diary, but I didn't brush my teeth right away or go to bed on time. That was where things went off the rails. I was hungry and started mindlessly snacking. Then, I was all in because I was way over anyways. I went almost four weeks without a major slip up, so this one time won't derail me. I am back on track today. The thing that is bothering me the most, is that I will have another over day so close to this one, on Sunday. At least that one is planned, and will be controlled...it'll just be over!
@HASWLRS
Oh no, Lisa. That happens to me too often. Four weeks is a good long time without a slip up. Keep working towards your goals and I'm sure that slip up will be just a little blip in your journey. You have been doing great.
Enjoy your Sunday. I will be cooking slow roasted baby back ribs in the oven on Sunday.0 -

You're moving in the right direction. Great job!0 -
And just as sure as I’m sitting here in an Epsom salt bath...I pulled a back muscle while pulling my fitted sheet over my side of the bed!! Though this happens less often now that my back has to carry less weight, a bad back is a bad back I guess.. I feel so deflated and almost like I jinxed myself!2

@mooreshelly09, Well done on recognizing that today was not a good day to step on the scales. The mental part of this journey is as big a part as any!
@cmhubbard92, Well done on another loss this week, and your closing in on 85 pounds! It is very inspirational! You have done it at a rate, too, that was very safe and sustainable.
@DaffyGirl88, It's hard to find your groove when getting exercise is difficult, and having to sit through six hours of teleconferencing does make it difficult. At least you are maintaining, as opposed to throwing in the towel. Definitely go out and play in the snow and have some fun! And if the shovel happens to clear a path, then consider it a bonus!
@richmondwriter, Good for you to take some measurements! The scale may not be cooperating, but that doesn't mean that you aren't still making excellent progress! And also, great job on analyzing your meals and making some very good observations. Yes, vegetables and protein help to fill us up, and veggies are very low in calories, but high in nutrition!
@maryc11, Well done on a solid loss this week, and for getting into the teens!!
@Jerricajo07 and @brandi_84, Well done on your losses this week, and for continuing with your downward trends!
@Krysless2, I am so sorry to hear about your back going out again. I know about that all too well from my husband. (Have you ever put it out just from sneezing? So frustrating!) Since this is a chronic thing for you, you know what to do to help it get back to feeling better. An Epsom salts bath is a great start!
@annabananamc, Well done on recognizing that pre-planning and meal prepping is the way to go! I am actually surprised that you have managed to maintain after eating cookies for breakfast two mornings in a row. If I start my day like that...I throw in the towel and the whole day, (and probably a few after that), is a total free-for-all. You must have some terrific willpower to reign it in! That bodes well for your weight loss journey once you find the food choices that work for you!3 -

It's definitely harder to eat in a deficit when you don't have exercise calories to work with. I am finding, like Sandra, that keeping my protein high is the key to succeeding at 1250 calories. I have been having a protein smoothie most days and I contribute my success at staying under to that. I am not saying it has to be protein powder, but just the protein in general. And a smoothie with some fruit, some almond milk and the powder is not high in calories.
@brandi_84, braised baby back ribs for Valentine's Day sounds amazing! That is not an option at this particular restaurant. I usually get a salad with some chicken on it, and that is an option, but my mom usually copies what I get. So, I am wanting to try something different so she will expand her horizons.2 -

Hello everyone. It's me, the lady who doesn't learn her lesson. Once again I have been struggling this week with my very familiar struggles- eating junk, feeling like junk, makes me eat more junk. It's a terrible cycle. For some reason my 33 year old brain still thinks that eating junk food will make me feel better if I'm stressed, tired, mad, etc., which of course it never does. I'm working on it. I'm still exercising regularly but like everyone says "You can't out exercise a bad diet."
Things here are super cold and icy. School was cancelled today, thankfully. I was sliding around driving to the bus stop yesterday. I'm very grateful I did my grocery shopping just a few days ago so we can stay home.3 -

Does it count for something if I just had only ONE homemade sugar cookie with freshly whipped icing(straight out of the oven)?? I tried to to convince myself I wouldn’t have any at all but that really didn’t work😕3

@thedestar, Ah, the junk food cycle.....one we all know, all too well! At least you are aware of it, and trying to work it out, and the damage was only one pound - easily reversed with only a little effort. You got this!
@mooreshelly09, Quality time with your very cute niece....how special, and a great reason to forego an official workout!
@Robandy12345, Nice loss this week, and good luck with adding in some running! It'll definitely torch some more calories!
@Krysless2, Yes, it definitely counts that you only had ONE cookie. Since you were trying to have none at all, having that first can easily lead to a second, and that "I already slipped up, so I might as well keep on sliding" mentality. But it didn't!!

Just in time for next week's lunch planning, a friend posted an air fryer chicken breast recipe she says is AWESOME (just spices and optional brine) so I am putting in a grocery order today and I will DO THIS next week!
Yesterday was a good day, and I finished week one of couch to 5k without any knee, hip or ankle pain!

@Krysless2 you can and SHOULD have one! Denying ourselves treats like that only makes us miserable. It's all about moderation. Sounds delicious!!3 -

Only under calories because of shoveling a 150 foot driveway. 😊 It was fun though. We don't get much snow here so shoveling is a novelty. If I was back in Buffalo where I grew up I wouldn't have been as enthusiastic. 😂4 -

@DaffyGirl88 I made a list of foods that trigger me to want to eat more or that I struggle to stop eating. I look for healthier alternatives, but when I do give in. I stop myself from feeling bad about it by logging the calories, still not going over my budget for the day or if I go over, enjoy and do better the next day.
We are not machines, food tastes delicious because it was meant to be enjoyed. Plan your snacks or cheat days and don’t feel bad about it.2
