    just my walk session (50 min), low carb eating, and trying to get 8 glasses of water.

    It's almost a relaxion day today - My body's sore from yesterday's start of SL-5x5.

    Don't know if this will always be the case after lifting - but I hope I'll get more energized as I become more fit.

    Happy Friday everyone!

    Great day today. Did my workout first thing this morning and it felt so good to feel my muscles tense from yesterday. I know I'm working on something now - I can feel it.

    Goals for today:

    1) Eat more. I have been 200 calories under for two days in a row and I know that is not good for weight loss.
    2) Pre-cook meals for the weekend.
    3) Walk 2000 steps.

    Day 3 worked out for 20 min. Need to drink more water.
    Goals for day 4. Get at least 30 min work out, drink all my water, and of course stay within my daily calories.

    Day 4 goals

    - Run 3 miles
    - Finish my grocery list
    - Meditate


    Weather is beautiful, so I am itching to leave work and get a nice jog in surrounded by all the red, orange and yellow leaves and trees.

    I agree that these daily check-in threads are awesome!

    Day three was mostly successful. I logged, came in under my calorie goal, but I didn't get the chance to swim because I ended up having a very long day at work. I'm hoping that since I'm an academic scientist, and my day consisted of running around a lab for 90 minutes teaching, walking all over campus to handle administrative business, and then working in the lab on some research I'm doing (which also active, busy work...not sitting), plus all of those stairs I took instead of using the elevator....it will partially make up for it.

    Today will be challenging. I'm working from home...which means I'm able to eat when I want to. In the lab, I work with chemicals, bacteria, and pathogenic fungi...so no opportunity for snacking while working. Also, I got a call from my doctor's office this morning. The results are in after the analysis that was done post-miscarriage (three weeks ago). It was a normal baby boy. I'm taking the news a little harder than I anticipated. I tend to be an emotional eater, so between my news plus working at home, it will be a challenging day.

    So Day4 is my first day really back at MFP for a week. Ended up with this horrible cold and resp infection. I am also the only one that can gain 5 lbs being sick. The sugar drinks kill my calories but taste so good :(

    Goal for today is to get back on track. Plan the weekend and next week out and stock up on some healthy food!!! I need to get back on track. Still can't do much for working out without stopping for coughing fits. So next week I will have to tackle that one.

    Not been posting as no internet at home. Just now I'm visiting with my Parents in sunny Dorset, UK. FOOD is dished up by Mum so don't get much say and whilst she calls it healthy it all comes out of a packet so struggling and today I have gone over my calorie allowance and I'm gutted :-(. Only managed a short slow walk to.

    One positive is I did manage to get my rats tails cut. Must of had cut off about a lb in hair and it looks so much better.

    Will try and set myself goals for tomorrow as will definitely need some exercise as have a 3 hour car journey home.
  • Today was a good day. Since upping my calories from 1200 to 1400 I have had more energy. I had enough energy today to hit the gym really hard. I gave it my all and feel great.

    Goals for this weekend:
    Listen to my body
    Yoga yoga yoga
    Try to stick to my meal schedule (5 or 6 small meals)
    Have fun with my family
  • Day 3 went well, my goals for day 4 are to just stay within my calorie limit.

    Day 4 goals of within calories limit and 60 minutes walk achieved. Need to do the same or better for next two days.
  • I am logging in late today but I totally made it!!!!

    Day 3 was good. My eating could have been better but I made the choice to eat what I ate. I just need to remember its ok to treat yourself once in a while.

    I finally shook the soar throat.

    So I will finally start drinking water again since I don't need to drink hot tea. tonight it needs to be at least 8 cups ... ugh two hours :/
    still going strong with my triple hundred challenge. its day 5 for that.

    I wanted to run today but I didn't so a few minutes of cardio I need to squeeze in today. :explode:

    I'm happy with my progress fitness wise not scale wise...... its a marathon RIGHT?
