Yesterday was a total bust. I didn't feel well and stayed in my pjs all day.
Coconut oil no
Vitamins no
30 min activity no
Planks no
And not enough water either. Hope I do better today.0 -
Check-in for week one:
1. Get appropriate sleep each night.
This most certainly is not happening. Today, I've gotten a real mattress, rather than a futon, and I'm hoping that will make a world of difference =p At the very least, I'm making a concentrated effort to go to sleep by 11 and wake up by 7 or 8, and I'm counting my efforts as a success, though the objective was failed.
2. Exercise every day.
This didn't happen, either! I hit the gym 5 times in the last week, but yesterday I had a serious bout of chronic pain flare-ups and didn't get anything done, and the day prior I was so lightheaded I couldn't get off of my sofa. I did say "within reason" and I hit 150+ minutes of cardio for the week, and I'm counting this as a success for the week.
3. Lose 10 pounds.
Y'ALL I LOST 6 POUNDS THIS WEEK (5.8, but eh, same diff). I have just 5 pounds to go before I'm out of obesity! I feel so good ad so proud of myself, and though I know there's work to be done and the weight loss will slow, I feel great about it and I'm chalking it up as a win thus far.
4. Only drinking alcohol once.
5. Killin it. Sober as the day is long. Day 7: I miss beer.6 -
It was a struggle but I managed to get everything in for March 5th.
1. 64 oz, I managed to get 85
2. Workout. I got in my walk plus weights
3. Stay under 100 carbs. I think I finished out around 60.
I was prepared to go off the rails. I was craving fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I went to KFC and they were out of Original. So I said forget it and went home and made a bison burger. I guess the low carb Gods didn't want me to have my fried chicken.5 -
Had a good first week. These threads are great for keeping me focused. The main goal is still a long way away, so it's good to hit these midi goals

Day 5 went well for me. I did my morning and evening Kettlebell workouts. I walked 3 miles. I stayed under 30 g of carbs. I drank my water. I even loss .4 lbs for a total of.8 lbs for the week which is a pound less than my goal for the week but at least it is going in the right direction!2

PiYo. Stick to the daily schedule
Strength. Tues and Thurs
Sleep. 8 hours
Water. Exceed 64oz daily. No alcohol
Vitamins. Multivitamin, Omega and OsteoBiflex
Food. Log everything. 1320 calories daily. 30g fiber
Macros. 140g protein, 100g carbs, 40g fat4 -
@fanncy0626 collagen is just one of my personal goals. I think a few other people use it too. It's supposed to help with skin, hair, and joints. I've only consistently taken it around a month so I can't say for sure how well it works yet other than some slight joint improvement.1
-
3/3: Weight is fine. Carbs were good. No exercise due to strep. I did take my collagen.
3/4: Weight/carbs ok. No exercise other than grocery shopping. Forgot collagen.
3/5: Weight/carbs good. I chased a 3 year old around the playground for about an hour so I counted it as a slow walk. Also did some dishes and laundry trying to catch up from sick week. Collagen was taken!1 -
@anglyn1 thanks for the information on collagen. I had no idea that it helped with joint pain and inflammation. That might be something I might want to give a try.0

I'm feeling discouraged today.
Pms.
I'll eat keto, deal?

I am in the same boat, stay strong girl!
It resulted in me being less than a champion this first week into March. Between being super hungry and crampy, I twisted my knee...so I have yet to perform my squat challenge. I will be starting today instead...just did 10 in my office at work
Another thing I have to be aware of is the side effects of drinking...I had dinner/cocktails with friends on Saturday. Everything I ate was low carb...but I ate EVERYTHING. Like 3000 calories & 70g of carbs. I let it go and started fresh the next day, but there's got to be a way I can have a couple cocktails a couple times a month and not become a ravenous monster, right?2 -
~Dragging myself in~ I was sick all weekend and did not log. I'm at work today, so in front of a computer...so at least I'll log.2

Had a total crap weekend. Didn't meet my goals at all. Today is a new day. I've gotta get focused and stay on track.1
-
Did well last week with the no phone after bedtime goal. Got some good runs in. So success. This week I need to focus on getting back on track after a weekend of fun. No serious indulgences but no exercise and more alcohol than is really necessary.

Well, I thought I had posted yesterday with my goals. Late jumping in on this challenge, but better late than never, huh?
GOALS:
Walk a mile every day----done
Jump on mini trampoline 10 minutes/3 times a week
Drink at least 32 oz water every day----done
Focus on meeting my macros----not so good
Log every day----done1 -
Made it though one week of workouts! So excited and I can even climb stars without workout afterburn
tried two new keto recipes from an actual keto book (vs internet). Looking forward to week two! 2 -
So for today. 2 out of 3
64 oz of water finished at around 80 plus oz
Workout: total bust. The day just slipped away from me. Running errands and studying for tests. Plus, I think my body needed to break, it's cold rainy and my plantar fasciitis is flaring up pretty badly.
Stay under a 100 carbs I'm under without looking at my macros I think I'm around 70. Someone recommend peanut butter on another thread to help get my calories up and I went a little off the rails there. Mmmmm peanut butter. Fresh ground honey nut peanut butter the best.2
