Weekly Weigh In Challenge for June
Replies
-
I think I'm going to end up with a gain this week again. But things are getting settled, and we finally got a stove, and microwave in our new place so I can eat home cooked foods again. I got back to my workouts again today as well after 2 weeks of nothing. I will be back on track for sure by Monday and have a chance to be ready for July's challenge in the group!
I'm also looking for a few friends, if anyone is interested in another friend. I have been on this journey for 7.5 years, lost 60 pounds was my healthiest ever and maintained for five years, and then got hit with health issues that make it difficult to simply focus on calories only, as well as some tough times that even led to drinking for the first time in 20 years. After a year and a half of that I am now 4 months without alcohol. Now I'm going to be trying to get back to No/low Fodmaps so I can feel better again.2 -

I apologize for not posting yesterday but it was a very difficult day for me and i just needed time away from social media. It was my moms birthday and I went to my usual dark place. The good thing is this time around I didnt use food to comfort myself, I used exercise. Anyway here I am now catching up with you all. I hope you are all stayin strong.
Thank you to those who have kept going with me you keep me moving each day!
I will end with yesterdays and todays quesitons.
1. What is your must have workout accecory?
2. What are you biggest unhealthy weaknesses?
Sorry it was a tough day for you! I can relate to the difficulty.
At first I thought I don't have one, I try to always have my hrm, but sometimes I just don't want to deal with it. But then I thought about my tracking for this year. No matter how consistent or inconsistent I have been with working out I have been consistent with tracking my weight, and my walking and running miles. SO I would be very upset if I lost that info. After every workout I must log it into my google drive documents and sheets.
My biggest unhealthy weakness is soda and chocolate. It's a major thorn in my side, even having been a year at a time without soda, it still haunted me everyday in my mind like a drug. Very frustrating to be back to having it regularly and knowing that I need to cut it out, but the urge for it won't be gone.1 -

Struggles:
My sore heel is still a problem but I'm powering through it. Also I'm on my period at the moment so I am sure my loss should have been more but that's OK I'm very happy with the loss I had. My biggest struggle had been my mom's birthday. It really made the week hard to get thru especially the day of.
Successes:
I am down another 2.7 lbs. I did a boot camp for this week and just about completed it (still need today). While grieving for my mom i didn't comfort myself with food like I usually do. Instead I worked out.4 -

I think my 0 pound loss last week probably wasn't actually 0 cause there's no way I lost 5,6 pounds in a week... Regardless, I'm super happy I reached my goal for June
Struggles: Still haven't started running again...
Successes: Walked my 10000 steps almost every day and a couple days was close to 15000. Drank my 8 glasses of water every day. Was a really good week

The latest food I tried were the energy balls. I made them with flax seed and peanut butter and other goodies. They were good, but at 100 calories per ball, it's too much for the size of it. I could've easily ate 5-6 in a row. I'll stick with coffee if I need energy

Ladies - congrats on the great weight losses this week!!
Latest new food: Zoodles - Zucchini Noodles. I saw one of my friends post about it in their feed and had seen some other article about them. So when I was at the store a week or two ago, I got a Veggetti (~$9 USD), a spiral veggie cutter, to make the veggie noodles. I really like them. They are less overpowering in taste than many of the gluten free pasta options. They are great with spaghetti sauce or with a garlic, butter, parmesan sauce. They are super quick to prepare, and you get an extra serving or two of veggies. My only complaint is they are much less filling to me than pasta, so I do get a bit hungry not too long afterwards. However, I'm always looking for creative ways to get more veggies into my diet.1 -
- Clearly, my scale has figured out my weigh in day is Fridays and continues to attempt to foil my "for record" weigh ins (I've been in the low 143's for the past three days, was sort of hoping to pop down into the high 142's today)
Hahaha...yep, saw 142.6 on the scale this morning...*shakes head* silly scale. Well, it will all add in to a better loss for next week...I hope...1 -

This isn't exactly new but we went to a Peruvian restaurant and some of the dishes were just incredible. The cilantro chicken soup and this fish stew were some of the freshest, most delicious things I've ever eaten.2

1. What is my must have workout accessory?
Earbuds. I love listening to music or watching the giant TV in our gym while I'm working out. It helps keep me distracted.
2. What are my biggest unhealthy weaknesses?- Emotional eating.
- Self worth tied a bit too much to the scale.
Maple Water. It was much better than I thought it would be.
This has been a very difficult week. My dream job has been turning into a nightmare and I've been working 14 hour days. Also, working a conference all weekend has meant very little downtime. I'm pretty sure I've gained this week, but I'll give it one extra day, as my feet are so swollen that I'm unsure if I could get an accurate reading.2 -

Weekly Goals: No soda this week
Struggles: Had no kitchen most of the week, but we are good to go now, also approaching Fathers day, 1st since my dad passed, and 1 year coming up Friday since he passed. It's been rather difficult to say the least.
Successes: I didn't have any alcohol, as difficult and stressful as this past week has been, I just continued to try and stay as focused as possible in spite of my short comings it has turned out to be much better of a week health wise that it really could have easily been.2 -

Total LBS lost this week: -2
Total LBS lost this month: 4.4
Weekly Goals: My goals are to stay within my calorie, sodium, and protein goals, which are <1500, <1500, and >80
I failed on Thursday, June 16. My schedule of work changed drastically on June 14 and I think I did pretty darn good to delay until June 16 the dietary disaster.
Struggles: Mostly it's just getting all the cooking, cleaning, exercising, driving, working, shopping done.
A new struggle will be to do all the above and get the project done by Saturday, the project I knew nothing about on June 12. I'll be working 14-hr days.
Successes: Getting the above done.
A new success is that I had briefly weighed below 220 on June 10. This had triggered my decision to celebrate by running a 5K. This time, Mrs wanted to join me for the 1 mile Fun Run. Even though my work logged 52 hours from Tuesday to Saturday, I still made time for the 5K Saturday morning.
