I've been sick the past few days and my baby also has his first cold which means very little sleep. Didn't eat well, didn't move much and didn't drink enough water. I just hope I won't have gained..
Hope not. But even if you have, don't let it get to you. The journey to fitness is not linear, never forget. Fluctuations happen. It's okay

What did I eat today?
Meh, I didn't eat super great today...
Breakfast: Cappucino (wasn't hungry)
Late morning snack: Vanilla protein powder smoothie with berries and Almond Milk
Lunch: missed due to paddling for an hour between storms
Early snack: Chocolate protein powder drink (when I got home)
Late afternoon/early evening snack: Corn chips, fresh salsa, cheddar and jalapeno cheese stick, almonds (after walking back from the local market to get some veggies)
Dinner (planned): Baked chicken breast/tenders, zoodles, spaghetti sauce, glass of wine
BTW, of course after I posted, I ended up going to the bathroom for a third time and then stepped on the scale (late am) and yep, it finally dropped (and has been lower than I posted all day today)...I swear it knows when I'm weighing in for record and bumps it up just to annoy me...I'm saving the difference for next week.
Haha well done on that loss youre saving for next week

Challenge question/fact for today...
Tell us about an exercise you have wanted to try.1 -
Eventually, once Ive lost some more weight I would like to try Crossfit. Its something Ive always looked at and admired and I've wanted to try it for a long time. I dont think I can just yet tho. I still have a long ways to go.

Reach my step goal each day.
Drink my 3 liters of water each day.
Weather permitting, walk 3 times this week.
Struggles:
I have been struggling with a sore heel going on 2 weeks now. This has almost completely stopped my workouts. Ive been walking a lot which hasnt helped my heel either but its less impact than what I usually do. Also...I will be starting my period soon so my mood has been quite down.
Successes:
I am down another 2.8 lbs. I did a lot of walking this week and yesterday even walked a little over 20,000 steps!!3 -
I'm gonna have to change this weigh in to my normal day which is a Thursday. Scale seems to be off the rest of the week, but it's just water weight. So here are my results from Thursday on behalf of tomorrow.

Struggles:
Had a bit of an issue with the scale this week, gained 2lbs for most of it even though I've been really disciplined with what I eat, It just would not shift, but stuck with it and it payed off.
Successes:
Exceeded my weekly weight loss goal of 2lbs even with my blip this week4 -
What did I eat today yesterday?
Yesterday was terrible. Really terrible.
Breakfast: Multivitamin, leftover thin crust veggie pizza (bad planning meant I'd run out of my protein bars and berries - this was all I had in the house and there isn't anywhere to grab decent breakfast near my new job. Excuses, I know.)
Lunch: Grilled halloumi and roasted vegetable sandwich, grapefruit mineral water (this was the best meal of the day)
Dinner: Tried a new recipe and HATED it. Black pepper tofu stir fry with rice noodles and spinach. It tasted like inhaling black pepper. My boyfriend loved it (he finished it all, without the spinach), but I had one bite and then ended up eating pita with hummus and spinach. Cocktail.
Evening treat: To celebrate my new job, my boyfriend took me out to the fancy dessert place. I had earl grey soft serve.
I've been really struggling over the past few weeks. I've stalled in my weight loss, hovering either 1 lbs up or down from 176 for about a month. It's so frustrating seeing the weight dance around this number.
My biggest issues with food right now are fruit/vegetables and protein. I'm a vegetarian/pescetarian living with the pickiest eater alive. He refuses to eat almost all fruit and vegetables (he likes grapefruit, cucumber, daikon, some carrot, and sweet potatoes...that's it) and he hates most vegetarian proteins (he likes tofu and chickpeas, but hates beans, legumes, etc.). He basically exists off of carbs, meat, and cheese (and picks out everything else, which drives me mad). It can be so frustrating coming up with recipes to make that he'll actually eat. It also makes it challenging for me to cook the food that I need to eat, as it tends to mean cooking two separate meals.
Honestly, I blame his parents. It makes me so angry that they indulged him like this. They've basically passed the problem onto me. I'm NOT his mommy and I refuse to fight with him over meals. He's a grown man and he should be taking charge of his health. But it's meant me gaining weight and not being able to cook the meals I need to in order to stay healthy. 0 -

Successes:
- Not that pleased with my 0.2 lb loss this week especially as I've worked out 5x a week and logged every single thing religiously however it's still a loss and I realise there's a lot of other factors that contributes to the number on the scale.2 -
What did you eat today? Gah, that was the worst day for that question to be asked, haha. Usually I'm pretty good about sticking with my meal plans but yesterday I was celebrating at a barbecue after my college graduation!
Breakfast: Starbucks iced chai latte
Lunch: McDonald's sausage mcmuffin (because of my lack of filling breakfast in the morning)
Snack: jicama, radishes, bell peppers, asparagus and some dip
Dinner: cheeseburger, big salad, nibbles of dishes people brought, some chips
Dessert: 2 black bean brownies (so good!)
I don't feel guilty about it, because it was a long day and I didn't binge, but that's the first time in awhile I went to McDonald's. It wasn't that great! Today will be better.2 -

Picky eaters drive me nuts! I have a similar problem with my boyfriend. He isn't terribly picky, it's just he would rather eat carbs, meat and cheese before vegetables. I got fed up with cooking two meals every night, so I told him either you cook your own food or plan in advance what you want to eat this week and you can help me meal prep. So this week he helped me prep his slow cooker chicken fajitas. I think he's having fun finding a new recipe to try each week, and it's something we enjoy doing together. AND he's learning how to cook, which is nice.4 -

I also have a food scale and honestly I used mine for about 2 weeks. At some point you get used to what the portions are just by looking at them. everyone in awhile I take it back out for new foods or just to make sure my portions are still accurate. I think it's a great tool to have. It has helped me loads.
