magslante · March 2017

Starting weight: 226.4 lbs
Goal weight: 155 lbs
Current weight: 205.5 lbs
Total Weight Loss so far: 20.9 lbs

This week's successes: I have been doing this for 2 months now, and even though each day brings its own unique challenges, I have managed to keep going, and I am so pleased with how I am feeling, and the results.

This week's challenges: I am limiting myself to one cup of coffee a day, and increasing the amount of water I drink instead. But work has been very busy, and by 3pm I am desperate for another coffee just to get me through to 5pm, and its been a real challenge (only made it 2 days out of the 5 without having that second cup). But, I am a work-in-progress, so will aim for 3 days without that second cup this week.

GW 130ish
CW 169
This week's loss- 1

Successes: I had the goal to workout once and I did! I know that sounds silly but I was super sick for almost three weeks and I finally was able to go to kickboxing. I'm crazy sore but happy I got out there.
Challenges: I drank more wine this week than I had so I need to be careful that doesn't sneak up on me. As always, I need to drink more water and log.

Good luck everyone

This week's challenges: I'm not drinking any alcohol this weekend as (1) I have my son and (2) I did enough of that last weekend with my son being at granny's that's what definitely through me off as didn't eat/drink clean 2/3 days.

This week's loss. 1.3 pounds
Total weight loss: 13

This week's successes:
Disclaimer: This section is turning into my personal mini log for the week. I may bore you.

I was a baaaad girl this week. Went to a conference Wednesday. We are well fed at this event. First night cocktail reception extended to first night beachside fire pit brainstorming, with rum and coke. You can brainstorm some interesting programming solutions to employee stupidity with a good drink. (The problem is when you go back to work your bosses won’t let you do things like electrify keyboards.) Day two I actually behaved well. I highly recommend the restaurant Snappers in St Pete Beach if you want fresh seafood choices and excellent service. Day three – Friday – ended at noon. The morning snack break gave us cookies, cookie bars, baby cheesecakes and other petit fours type things, bottled Starbucks Frappuccino, and water. Now that I think about it there were no ‘healthy’ options. Even the strawberries were covered in chocolate. Plus there were little paper bags to load up “for our trip home.” I broke. It was not pretty, but it was logged.

After that travel and indulgence, the scale had a pretty nasty number to overcome. I did not want to log another temporary gain so I spent the weekend choosing wisely and drinking lots of water. For the week I averaged calories just under TDEE and I did not consume my exercise calories. Got a lot of walking in – including two long nighttime beach walks.

I would have been happy to log a zero change so I am ecstatic to log a loss.

Checking on last week’s challenges:

Eating right will be a challenge. I have a user software conference to go to Wednesday to Friday. Well, I already detailed how this turned out. I’d call it 50/50 since I recovered. Then, as if three days of conference food is not enough, tonight DH and I have to be way-over-there in Orlando directly after work, so another meal out. Note – Monday night I looked to find restaurants near the movie and preplanned our eats. DH and I split a philly cheesteak and fries. It was plenty of food, it was delicious, and it was within my count for the day. I love prelogging!

Exercise - again out of town for three days at a conference with co-workers. We tend to stick together in the evening. I wonder if I can get any of them to the fitness center. I can walk the beach for hours. I'll give this one a happy face. I met all my team exercise challenges and I walked the beach at conference.

This week’s challenges:

My work is closed for the week. I do not necessarily deal well with unstructured time and food planning.
Walk a fast 5K twice in the week. 5K is not difficult, but it is a little harder when you walk in hills.
Eat green food four times this week because the race is in Ireland. So many delicious choices.
Tile a 660 square foot area made up of two rooms, a bathroom, a closet and a hallway. This will be my first tile work.

This week's successes:
This week I managed to drink more water and eat healthy. I reduced my cheese intake and tried to limit my fastfood cravings.

This week's challenges:
My boyfriend took introduced me to his friends and company. Friday night we went to a French restaurant with his company. Saturday afternoon, I met his friends at Staple center. There was so much food and it was hard to avoid all my favorites. After, we also had pizza.

Eating out and fast food cravings were the most difficult. Stress eating because Im going back to school and looking for a job. Exercising because I am debating if I should continue crossfit because its so tough and challenging. Feeling discouraged...

This week has been my most challenging week so far. I have struggled
With BED most of my life and it crept up this week for the first time this year. It has no real trigger except this week was Tom visiting. I am choosing not to weigh in until I can have a consistant week. Hopefully I can beat this and keep up this momentum I have been doing this year. I could use prayers and positive thoughts:)
