The weekend wasn't too bad after all but I need a good start into the week, so I am fasting today as part of my 5:2 program.
Goals for today:
- fast (stay below 500 kcals)
- drink lots and lots of fluids
- 30 DS before dinner

My goal for the day is to get a work out in. I didn't get up in the morning to do it and my nights seem to be nuts... but before I do anything, I need to get a 30 minute work out in!0

One week in to our 100 day challenge - Happy Day 7!
I'm so thankful Monday is here and I'm back in my routine. As is typical, this weekend was hard because I don't eat as well during the weekend (too free-for-all with our schedules and my eating) and the scale reflected that this morning. I also do everything on my mobile device which means I can't check in here during the weekend - I love the mobile app for food tracking on the go but not being able to access the discussion boards is tricky.
Back on track today - Logging and drinking my water and trying to get my steps in.
My goals today:
10K steps (5K of them before I leave work)
12 glasses of water
Staying under my calories
30 min dog walk this evening0 -

This is so me!!! I hardly ever get on the boards on the weekend and that is the hardest for me. This weekend was terrible. It was homecoming at the local college and at 36 this shouldn't really impact me but had to take the kiddos to all the fun activities. Then friends that own a bar asked us to come out
Had a blast but drank and eat myself way over!!!
goals for this week. Well just one goal this week...
balance the day!!!! workout enough to cover if I am over. Yep I know I will be over already today because I have a family dinner with steak and king crab that I didn't plan in so I'm already close to over. I just need to push the workout more this evening.0 -
Aren't we supposed to rest on the 7th day? J/k.0

Mondays are always tough. I was low energy this morning, and the weather is drab outside, so I did not get to take my typical lunch time walk around the neighborhood. On the positive side, I got all of my day's protein in by lunch time today (yay!), drank plenty of water (yay!), and am excited to have plenty of calories left for dinner.
I didn't post for day 6, so I will just say about Sunday that I am glad that I killed it with exercise yesterday. We were in a parade, marching with our children, so there was a lot of running around, dancing and flag waving. The entire family was thoroughly exhausted. I sucked down an entire 32 oz bottle of water afterwards. At the end of the day, I had to weigh myself. Down another two pounds. Hoo!0 -
PUSH PUSH PUSH myself today. I slacked off last week due to my cold, but I have to get over the hurdle this week.0

This weekend I really got off track. I'd say that versus any given weekend in the past year, this was probably the worst "crash" I've had. Drinking? Yes. Pizza? Oh yes. Ice cream cake? Don't even get me started. In retrospect I see that the stress I've been having at work was making me more ready to accept excuses. It was my housemate's birthday and I told myself I could be a good sport and join in on the festivities, because it was just the weekend. Unfortunately it didn't help anything, as I'm feeling some regret and my stomach is not happy with me.
Today I'd like to get to the gym, but I'm feeling pretty crummy and may push my day back. Food-wise I'd like to get right back on track and not let this weekend haunt me. This means back to keeping sodium levels down, keeping sweets consumption down, staying under my calories, and limiting my Quest bar consumption. I think I can do this, and will consider today a victory if I can manage my food.0 -

I stayed on track with calories today, but again wasn't able to work in exercise beyond what my day brought me (lots of stairs and walking). I did get out yesterday for an hour long hike. I need to work on ideas for how to find time to exercise during the week. Any ideas?0

Monday I rode the recumbent for 16.25 miles then hit the gym w/my daughter for an hour with our trainer. My daughter is getting married in December, so I'm working on getting rid of 10 pounds.

weight was UP 5 lbs, had a few bad days, plus not enough water, now down 2 of the 5. Hoping it's all water related, but I'm unsure honestly.
Does anyone else really struggle staying motivated to food log when you don't have it... 100% correct? I tend to be very precise and mathematical with everything I do, so I kind of enjoy food logging because I can measure EXACTLY what is entering my body, and the effects of say a 1/2 of this vs 1/3, or just an extra 10 minutes of walking and how it impacts my whole day.
But when I have days where I can't be exactly precise it throws me for a loop and I stop logging period. It's really all or nothing for me, which is in general a life lesson that I've gotten much better at overall, but not with food. Its so hard for me to stay on when I can't measure every itty bitty bit of something because it is out of my control at times. Out of my control has been happening a LOT lately since I'm pressed for time.0
