    Weigh in day: Wednesday
    Previous Week's Weight: (65.1kg) 143.5

    January 10
    Exercised?: Yes. 6km in 46 mins (hills)
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes

    Another late walk right on dusk after late work phone conference and dinner. The pace was quick again.

    Was a little off grid on the 10th with family concerns. All good now.



    January 11
    Exercised?: Yes. 3km in 24 mins (hills)

    Work really messed up my schedule today. Moved a phone conference meeting into my dinner time at the last minute without consultation.

    Only managed a short walk, but it was hot (30+C) and I was tired.




    Daily Strength challenge

    Challenge for January 11 is side lunges (

    @craigo3154 if there’s one thing I’ve learned working remotely people are rarely considerate of your time or schedule. I’ve had meetings scheduled over, meetings scheduled at 6AM my time, 9PM my time, although 5-6pm on Friday is probably my least favorite:) Hopefully your week of frustrations is over, it sounds like you’ve had them all this week with illness, work and family concerns all coming at you at once! I hope you’re on the other side and get to enjoy a relaxing, stress free weekend! Best wishes from the not at all hot state of FL!

    Weigh in week: Jan Week 2
    Weigh in day: Thursday
    Previous Week's weight: 140.0
    Todays Weight: 140.0

    And the plateau begins :/
    I have always had a very difficult time breaking plateaus, even though I know the best thing I can do is push harder in terms of exercise and continue with healthy choices. In the past though, it doesn't necessarily quite work for me even when I push harder, which can be very demotivating. It's definitely the most frustrating part of the whole process for me.

    Exercise- bike x 30 min, strength training x 45 min (with the side lunges from Craig’s Post,
    which for me are a great exercise to work on leg and core)
    Calories- yep
    Track- yep

    Happy weigh-in day to my fellow Friday-ers @typeitdaily @tdrjustus3 @fe452436 @nrkelly04 @Cyranda63 @phoebelayla @pianopotato @sandflower81 @moyMG

    Congrats on the loss @pianopotato !!! @parinzz Plateaus are tough, but you’ll get thru it, try switching some things up, whether it be the exercise you’re doing or the macros...try something new and see if it shakes things up! You’re doing everything right, sometimes our body just needs to rest again before the “whoosh”

    Hey All, I'm looking to mix up my routine a little bit, I eat the same breakfast everyday, and then I make soup for lunch and then I will have pretty much whatever I want for dinner because I have a good chunk of my calories left. It's worked for me thus far because I feel less deprived, but I'd like to mix it up a little, so if anyone has easy go-to recipes that they want to share I'd love to try them! I'll share my breakfast smoothie to start :)

    Coffee Breakfast Smoothie
    1 frozen banana
    1/4 cup frozen blueberries (optional)
    4 oz black coffee
    1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
    2 Tbsp PBFit peanut butter powder
    1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

    Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until the desired smoothie texture is reached :)

    Darn it, forgot to step on the scales this morning! I'll leave myself a note in the bathroom to remind me to do so tomorrow. (Hey, I am NOT a morning person, usually on autopilot through my morning routine... that does not currently include weighing myself. Maybe it should?)

    Jan 12th
    Calories: under my total, but ate a couple hundred into my exercise cals
    Tracking: always
    Exercise: hike up cardiac hill, more walking, stretching, couple strength exercises; I'm tired, but not beat, big improvement!
