Weighed in and lost 1 pound this week. I bet if I was up on my water game it would of been even more!!! Today is my boyfriends birthday, and we're celebrating it over his parents so I'm going to try to eat healthy (hopefully something will be on the healthy side if not border line) if not then I'll just have to watch my portions.
My weekly goals for this week is to get in 8-10 glasses of water a day
Strength train at least 3x this week
No starchy carbs after 6 pm0 -

Nette, you really are the Miss Sunshine of this group! :flowerforyou:
Hey, Shaybelle, we're in the same boat. I didn't lose either, so I'm just going to make working out and eating healthy my goal for this week. I may even give that terrible, awful, painful, but so much fun African Dance class a try again this week. That was a monster calorie burn!
Based on my weekend detox, this week my goal is to heed my macros - especially sugar. While on the detox (which left me quite bloated until this morning - I forgot to take the psylium) I ate a hearty breakfast of steamed kale, yellow squash, and sweet potatoes, which came in at just over 200 calories, but it was very low sugar, high fiber (10 g) and a good amount of protein (9 g). When I added some almonds and walnuts, those numbers got even better and my level of satiety improved.
The macro that posses the greatest challenge for me is sugar. There seems to be a plethora of it in everything, and based on my full reports on this site, I've been eating far too much of it. For the two days on the detox, I only ate 12 g of sugar for the day all from vegetable sources. I looked over my full reports, and sometimes I was eating anywhere between 50-100 grams of sugar a day. I had NO IDEA!! This becomes quite alarming when you consider that granulated sugar is counted as weighing 4.2 grams per teaspoon. No wonder I feel so lousy so often and my weight loss is at a virtual standstill. Fortunately, I'm not diabetic or pre-diabetic, but I don't think that I would be able to say that for long if i continue eating that way. While there is sugar in the healthy foods that we eat, I think my problem is with added sugar. Sauces, jams in yogurt, candy and other treats, etc.
I'm going to adopt the breakfast from the detox into my regular life, and make more soups and salad for lunch with dressing that does not contain added sugar. The salad dressing from the detox plan is actually quite good, as are some others that I've found that don't contain sugar.
I'm going to continue eating steamed veggies for this week until all that produce is gone, and I'm going to smash those lentils as well. I want to see what the end of my week will look like after I've limited my sugar intake. I have a feeling that it's going to go pretty good.
I hope you all are off to a great week!
