    Morning all! So far so good! Sticking to my 1200 max calories, limited sugars, lots of water, lots of veggies. First time my moving average is in the 120’s since early February. Hope I can keep this up. The water is the biggest challenge - so will try to incorporate some ginger, lemon, something to make it more palatable!

    Hope everyone got through the weekend unscathed!

    Proud of myself for not using Fathers Day as an excuse to indulge. Not gonna lie - I thought about it - then thought about how i feel afterwards - not physically nor emotionally worth it.

    View from my hotel.

    On vacay…. So a fly by post- I’m still getting in my daily workouts . I also feel like I’m on top of my nutrition - haven’t splurged or anything damaging. Of course we are spending our time at the pool most of the day, that plays into what I want to eat AND we dont have treats just laying around. So I’m thinking this could be a weight loss week .

    Hopes you’re all doing well.

    Facts:
    When you log meals in an app - you are significantly more likely to lose weight.

    Taking the time to record your food is a valuable way to accelerate progress because you become more mindful about what you are eating.

    Feeling so backed up and miserable. Took magnesium, didn't help. I think it made it worse. Feeling uncertain and concerned regarding a legal situation pertaining to a fender-bender.

    Study 1: 48 participants
    * Reported their food intake and exercise daily for 28 days.

    For each meal, they provided a brief description of the food(s) eaten which were then categorised as healthy, unhealthy, or mixed (neither healthy nor unhealthy) by two independent coders.

    Study 2: 55 participants
    * Reported the portion size of each meal.

    Hierarchical linear modelling showed that in Study 1, contrary to expectations, post-exercise meals were less likely to be unhealthy (relative to mixed) than were random meals from non-exercise days.

    Participants ate proportionally fewer unhealthy meals on exercise days compared to non-exercise days

    Study 2 replicated these findings, and also found that participants consumed larger meals after exercise in comparison to random meals from non-exercise days

    Participants were not consistently engaging in compensatory eating by eating less healthily after exercise compared to on non-exercise days, but they did eat larger portions post-exercise.

    This work highlights the need for naturalistic methods of assessing compensatory eating, and has the potential to facilitate development of strategies to improve health behaviour regulation.

    @SherryRueter - all truths! I confess I snarf down my food. Most of it because its easier to do it faster before I’m interrupted by my mom or dad.

    My birthday was Wed. Didn’t hit goal wait - but was the lowest I’d been in years. Ugh - just about 4 pounds to go. Didn’t overindulge in food but did order two pins colada type drinks and had some cake and ice cream. Gave myself til tomorrow to get back on the scale.

    Sorry to hear about your fender bender @justgirl81. Do you have an insurance company or attorney who can take care of everything - regardless what side you’re on? That’s was happened with me.

    Friday
    Workout: 60 min cardio - injuries to other areas (over exercise related? or just bad form?
    Weigh In: 107.0 :)

    I'm seeing a chiropractor today to assess my lower back, piriformis and now my shoulder/bicep. I can not lift a 5# dumbell to do a bicep curl without pain. The lower back seems to be getting better as does the periformis (however I haven't been using weights, so likely its healing bc of rest. ) They say we need rest days... this is definitely an indicator

    Weight, so good. I'm eating a 3 day veggie forward plan .... may last more than 3 days. Yesterday went well.

    Below is an example yesterday's log)

    Cee, I appreciate your concern xoxo. Yes, I have insurance and an attorney to help me; most importantly, I'm trying to give it to God in the areas that I can't control. <3
    Congrats on your progress! :)

    I planned today to go differently, work circumstances changed unexpectedly. I believe God makes all things work together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28) so I rejoice in believing there was a great reason for what appeared to be a disappointment. God never fails His children! <3
