Had a great day! Friend that is getting married and merging households gave us a sofa, chair and some tables that we needed. Work was good and we had hawaiian plate lunch for dinner - and though that put me 45 calories over for the day - I am still significantly under for the week. Feeling good about my plan!0

Today is a better day than this weekend! I am so far sticking to my diet! Ive had my granola for breakfast and lots of water! Time for my packed lunch soon!0

Eeek! Today feels like it's been a bad day … I didn't plan my meals well, I stayed under but I don't feel great about my food choices. I also had a quick session with my personal trainer this morning, but we were focused on trying out some new weight training exercises to add to the routine, so it felt like an easy work out because of all the demos and talking. I got home later than normal and felt tired, so I didn't head to the gym again, and I feel so guilty. But tomorrow's another day ...0

Very intense workout with trainer yesterday. Had to walk out of training room after 2nd circuit just to catch my breath - finished up the 3rd circuit. Told my trainer he was horribly mean. Came home and died. Feel GREAT this morning!
Hope everyone has an awesome day!

I did not eat a great breakfast but I am staying with in my caolories. I almost went out to eat lunch but told myself NO! I have to tell myself NO out loud a lot! One day I wont even temp myself! I have stayed far away from the kitchen so no snacks but I have drank about 50 oz of water so far and only had black coffee no sugar or creamer!0

Love it!!! Good job!!!!0 -
Today I expended almost all of my energy clipping my dogs nails. He is only 13 pounds, but he acts like I'm trying to murder him. I have done pretty ok in my eating so far. I allowed myself to indulge in a couple of pieces of Easter candy (I am tempted to throw it away, but I am so broke that just the thought of that feels like throwing away money to me...) without binging on it. Hopefully I can keep that up until bedtime. However, my TOM is on its way and it is making me uber cranky and really pained.0

I have ate almost all my calories for breakfast today I have been pretty good with staying pretty close to my calorie intake over the last few days but today will be hard.0

Yesterday was a rest day - decided I wanted pizza so ordered a small pizza and salad from our normal large pizza/wings/pop place. Split the small pizza and salad with my husband. It was ok but not wonderful and I didn't feel good after eating it. Had some watermelon afterward to settle my stomach. Was over about 175 cals - not worth it.
Today is trainer day again.....should be horrible as usual!
Hope everyone has a great day!

Decided at the beginning of the week to eat no more than half of the calories I earn working out. I was afraid I would lose the motivation, but I haven't yet. Had a great workout Monday and Tuesday night. I've been very occupied at work, so it has been easy not to snack. AND TODAY... someone at work noticed that I have lost weight!!!!! Best feeling in the world!! She said she could tell in my face!0

This week has kind of sucked for me. Monday I weighed myself and I shouldn't have. I put on two pounds. Not sure how since I didn't over eat and I cleaned all weekend for working out. It's probably that I was not feeling good last week and still feeling like crap this week. Yesterday I overate by a lot. I was just hungry. Now I just feel horrible about it. Because I know the scale is gonna tell me something I didn't want to see and it did. So I am up three pounds from our first weigh in. I didn't work out as hard as I should have Monday, but who can blame me with not feeling well. I didn't go yesterday because my head was just killing me. Lets hope I can make the three I put on go away by Sunday. I need to hit the store to pick up more foods to choose from. Kind of hard when you are broke!! So all I really have left is carb foods....ugh. Is this week over with yet?0

I thought by cutting my calories way down to compensate for the two overage days would help but it puts you in starvation mode so I will stop doing that and eat a little more today. I am still struggling to find my balance. I need to get to the gym on a regular basis too.0

Today was a really bad day for me. This whole week has not been good, but today was the worst. I started ok, bringing a salad to work for my first meal of the day (I work nights and log midnight to midnight). Then I went to the grocery on my way home. I bought junk (Easter candy was discounted) and proceeded to eat junk! As I sit here typing, I just logged all the things I stuffed in my face and I'm over my calories by over 2000 - on the way in to work tonight, I thought 'what the heck, I've already blown the day' and stopped at McDonald's, despite bringing healthy food for my overnight/am meal. I forced myself to do 10 minutes on the stationary bike, making that the only positive of the day. Doing much else hurts too badly (I've scheduled an appt with my MD for Friday morning to get my [IMO stress fractured] foot looked at). Ugh...another hour and 1/2 until it's a new day...gotta be better.0

@mlh37214 We all have bad days...some worse than others so don't beat yourself up. Don't fall for the oldest trick in the book however; when you mess up, it's not ok to wallow in your misery and think you've already failed so you may as well continue to overindulge. Your success will be based on a series of choices, not one bad/good one so keep making the best choices you can and when you fail just learn from it and keep going. Wishing you all the best!0

Today wasn't such a great day for me- diet wise. May be PMS, I really don't know but I indulged a bit and luckily for me, I only exceeded my calorie requirement by 154. I'm happy I logged so I can avoid the excessive guilt and tendency to feel discouraged. I really hope I see some results on Sunday.0

Great - when we log it we own it!0 -
Meh, today ended up better than I thought it would. I was feeling so blah and unmotivated today. I think my saving grace was being run off my feet busy at work, aka too busy to go find snacks, and Netflix wasn't working tonight, so I dragged myself to the gym. Got in a decent workout. Stayed under my calorie goal. Hopefully, I feel a little more motivated tomorrow.0

Today I ended a frantic and very emotional dress search for my stepson's graduation. I was frustrated and in tears because despite my loss, my size hasn't really changed and I am not into the dress I had set aside for the trip. Finally found something today.
My weight has stayed still this week. I've been skating and I know it. I will be traveling tomorrow to FL for a few days so I've got to be ready. Our hotel has a gym room so I'll be on the treadmill when I can be, so I'll have some calories I can eat back if I need to. Honestly, I don't know if I can expect to do more than maintain this week, but it beats gaining.0 -
Butt bible and I ate pretty well. Still need to step up in the veggie dept. feeling great!0
-
deep water aquafit + under on calorie goal = good day0
-
Worked out at the gym today feel great the scale still show no loss but no gain either which is good.0
-
Just came back from the gym, which was necessary since I made some poor food choices for dinner. Good workout and managed to get back under my calorie goal … just.0
-
Last two days I have just been off - not feeling right - eating yuck. Blech! Anyway back on track today.0
-
Fit in a super quick workout and haven been doing pretty well keeping my eating in check. Hope to see some movement on the scale this Monday0
-
Ack! No work out today AND it was my grandmother's 80th birthday dinner at a chinese restaurant. I ballparked my calories … it wasn't good. Will have to hit the gym extra hard tomorrow.0

So, I have been super lazy the last few days, with reason. I finally went to the MD to get my foot (that I thought might be fractured) checked out. Turned out that it is just inflammation. He put me on some meds, including steroids. Have to take it easy until those are gone. Needless to say, calories have been exceeded, and I chose not to weigh this week, b/c I don't want to discourage myself. Will be pushing extra hard after I can get back to workouts!0

Today I packed myself and my son a lunch and went to the beach. It was beautiful outside! I walked the boardwalk while he rode his bike, and then we sat down and had a delicious lunch (my salad, apple, nuts, and his sandwich and chips)...I fought the urge to gobble his leftovers down as I used to do before this weight loss journey (so victory in that!). I treated myself to oreos and icecream for dessert this evening!0

Sassymama...Hang in there!! Are you back on track?0 -
The scale has been playing the yo yo game with me this week. I have been staying under calories and working out everyday and I am gaining weight. How can that be? I hope it's just bloating. I know the weekend is going to be hard. Going to a friends cabin. The food part isn't hard to track it's the drinking you do when you're at the cabin. I am going to assume the scale is going to say I gained by Monday. Just means I gotta work harder next week to get back on track.0
