I have new protein goals, and I’ve been focused on hitting those macros - the protein shakes are back, for better or worse.

I’ve done a couple of triathlons and I trail run, but road races have always intimidated me, and this spring I want to try some local ones! So I’m working on my speed a little, after my strength training sessions. I want to build up slowly and avoid injury.4 -

Start Weight:205.8
Challenge Goal Weight:193.8
Weigh-in #1:206.8
Weigh-in #2: 205.6
A positive thought I had this week was: If I can't escape the 3 kids, then just let them work out with me. Seeing my 5 year old son doing Pilates with me at night was funny

My most effective workout this week was: Zumba, which was new for me, and started doing a Pilates dvd that I use to use in college and always loved.
Comments: This past week felt a little off for me. Half of it went smoothly, ate good food in the the proper amounts. The other half was dark chocolate and exhaustion. I need to work harder on getting my Iron and Vitamin D levels up. When I feel tired I make bad decisions. But, moving on to a new week with a brighter outlook.5 -

Weigh-in #1: 215

A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: avocado toast. Yum!
My most effective workout this week was: Made it to the gym 6 times this week, through snow and frigid temps!
Comments: this is usually when I throw in the towel. The scale might not move, or I give in to social temptations, or any other excuse you can think of and I decide I’m not meant to lose weight. I need to stay strong!

Week 2
Start Weight: 162.2
Challenge Goal Weight: 155
Weigh-in #1: 163.2
Weigh-in #2: 161.0
A positive thought I had this week was: I'm way stronger than I give myself credit for.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Zoodles. We've discovered we really like these in place of pasta.
My most effective workout this week was: Still doing the same thing just upping intensity/weights
I had a feeling I was hanging onto water weight from my workouts which was reflected this week on the scale. I'm just glad I take measurements because it keeps me sane when the scale is not cooperating.
Eleven more days until I wear that bikini in front of people.

Weigh-in #1:201.8
Weigh-in #2:199.6
A positive thought I had this week was: One bad day does not have to mess up my whole week!
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I tried to incorporate a salad into my day each day (hard for me, not good with veggies in general).
My most effective workout this week was: Tiffany Rothe You Tube video!
Comments: This week really stressed me out. I had one SUPER hormonal day along with out of control cravings and I gave in to each one. I was worried that I had ruined my week by succumbing to this. This is usually where I would give up and continue the not as good practices. I adjusted my attitude about the day, let it go, and kept going with my small changes I am working on. I guess it worked, because I made it here still and have a loss so far. Happy with this

Challenge Goal Weight: 126
Weigh-in #1:132.2
Weigh-in #2: 129.6
A positive thought I had this week was: How much better I'm sleeping while not drinking alcohol for a month! As much as I would love a glass---or three---of wine, Dry January is definitely good for my health!
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Maryland Crab Cakes last night for dinner! Made me a little homesick. Also been eating these little nut packs by Orchard Valley---so good and just enough crunch for 140 calories.
My most effective workout this week was: Mentally, Yoga with Adriene! I'm doing the TRUE 30-day Challenge and I love it. Physically, it would be the PiYo Core workout, which I could only get through about 2/3 of! Hard stuff for hard abs!
Comments: REALLY like the accountability of this group, and weighing in every week! So much better to do with others!6 -

Haha! I’m doing dry January and surprising myself with how much I’m enjoying it! (I was a nightly wine drinker) 3 -

A positive thought I had this week was: I'm gonna get better and get over this cold!
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I made some super tasty carrot-ginger-shiitake soup!
My most effective workout this week was: N/A because I was sick
Comments: I started the elimination diet on Saturday. The first 2 days are mostly liquid so soup, smoothies, juices to help calm your system and er, clean it out which it did. I ain't gonna lie that I was hungry, must mostly because my timing was off for eating but I felt lighter. I was dying for food to chew and to fill more satisfied. But I was glad I made a tasty soup in the process (see above) which I'm gonna keep in rotation. I was so happy to chew food today. Haha! The next 2 weeks or so I'll be sticking with foods and refrain from eating gluten, soy, dairy, corn, alcohol, bee, pork, chocolate, coffee (didn't drink it anyway), citrus (I miss lemons), eggs, nightshades, tree nuts and peanuts, sesame, sugar and yeast. Then after 2 weeks or so, start introducing stuff back in to see how I feel. I've been cooking up a storm so I have food for the week and also freezing stuff (made bone broth over the weekend).
I'll get back to working out tomorrow which I'm excited about! Hopefully I don't get sick again with anything.5 -

Nothing especially notable this week. Actually, I ate pretty much junk over the weekend (frozen wings, pizza, fried chicken ...) and it gave me a serious bellyache. I am ACHING for a good salad, but romaine lettuce has been connected to an E. coli outbreak in my state - haven’t heard any updates, so I’m not trusting lettuce even though it’s still on the store shelves!!
My most effective workout this week was:
Switched from doing glute bridges (on a mat) to hip thrusts (with a bench) and WOW it definitely works the glutes way harder!3
