Weight lost/gained this week: -3.8
Weight lost/gained this month:
Successes/struggles this week: 3.8 is my weight loss because I actually gained a little after the fourth putting me at 212.8 so to be able to still lose 3.8 pounds in these last four days is tremendous! I'm struggling with the newness of eating one meal a day (see intermittent fasting). I literally just started yesterday and so my body is adjusting and I got a serious headache while eating. It was also a struggle to eat a day's worth of food in one sitting but I gotta make sure I get enough food since I'm only eating once a day (plus a vitamin if my nutrients aren't looking right). It actually wasn't that much of a struggle not to eat at work. I got a little hungry but drank water, tea or coffee and I was fine. It takes the stress off of meal prepping, portion control and counting calories.0 -

Weight lost this week: -3 lbs. I had a feeling that shark week was why I was up last week.
Struggles: I hurt my neck /shoulder with heavy weights last week doing SL. I'm thinking bench pressing 90 lbs. was what did it or the 95 lbs. rows. I also didn't work out all week last week.
Successes: I tracked almost everything and I didn't work out at all last week and I lost weight. Go figure.

Successes/struggles this week:
- They put a bakery/confectionary in IMMEDIATELY adjacent to my office buidling, and I haven't been there in a whole week. This is big news, people. Sweets are my total weakness, especially come 3 o'clock when I get tired and bored at work. >.<
- I'm also proud of myself for going jogging in the rain last night. It was really peaceful and cool (70 degrees! Unlike the 95 we've had lately), and I felt amazing afterwards.0 -

Weight lost/gained this month:
Successes/struggles this week: Success - maintaining my new Core Challenge. Struggle - Being more present when I eat. During the work week I tend to eat at my desk and work at the same time or eat dinner watching TV. I feel that because I'm not tuning in to what and when I eat that I get that "hungry" feeling that I need more. Usually that means additional food that I don't need.
My goal this week is to drink a large glass of water when I feel that hunger following a meal, or to do a physical activity.0 -

Successes/struggles this week: BAH! I was at 118 only yesterday morning. My weight is so weird. Or my scale... But my scale hasn't moved.
I haven't been good with working out but I haven't been eating much either, so I guess it balanced out in the end. Im hoping to get back on track with working out and running again hoping to wake up in the morning to run too!

Successes/struggles this week: I had some events on the weekend so I had actually put about a pound back on (probably water weight) but I managed to get it off and lose some more by weigh-in today so yay! I didn't log Sunday because I was at a baby shower and eating a bit of this and a few bites of that and it was just too hard. But I've logged every morsel of food every other day so I'm feeling good about that. I've done quite a bit of walking but nothing else in terms of exercise so I'd like to try and get back into that this week so speed things up (and so I can eat more!)0 -
Not to sound stupid but how do I update my status0

Weight lost/gained this month: - 10.4 lbs
Successes/struggles this week:
***Struggles - Evenings were a little hard with some hunger pangs that I tried to ignore. A few nights I ended up having a Greek yogurt, which did the trick. Also, getting my body moving again has been a struggle because I didn't realize just how out of shape I am.
***Success - I'm thrilled with the big loss this first week! I know it's mostly water weight but I feel and look less bloated, so I'll take it! I've stuck to my diet by preparing my meals ahead of time. Drank my water, which used to be an issue. I bought a Fitbit Surge (never owned a fitness tracker before) and some new walking shoes so now I'm going to focus on steps, steps, and more steps!
I hope you all had a good week!0
