Week 2 —
Start Weight: 132.6
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 -

This is heresy! I make room for a glass of wine almost nightly.
Haha! I’m doing dry January and surprising myself with how much I’m enjoying it! (I was a nightly wine drinker) 3 -

Me too! My resting heart rate goes down when I don’t drink! And I sleep way better.2 -

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.

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 -

Week 2 —
Start Weight: 138.4 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 130.0 lbs
Weigh-in #1: 138.4 lbs
Weigh-in #2: 134.8 lbs
A positive thought I had this week was: this loss wasn’t water weight (maybe some of the holiday stuff falling off)
A healthy snack I chose this week was: carrots and hummus
My most effective workout this week was: my lifting workout on Wednesday. I was able to focus and add in band work.
I was only able to lift once last week. This week I’m going to try and get to it at least twice but hopefully 3x. I want to go running twice this week as well. I am still loving Bikini Body Mommy and how it makes me feel. Oh and I’ve given myself permission to indulge in ONE “treat” a day to curb my sweet tooth obsession. I’m hoping to at least maintain this week. That’s me being humble.3 -

Your soup does sound lovely. Could you share the recipe, please? Thanks!1 -
https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/spinach-sweet-potato-lentil-dhal
Hi, this should be the link to the recipe. I used olive oil and substituted yellow split peas for the red lentils. I cooked the split peas for about 30 mins before I added them to the other ingredients as they take longer to cook than red lentils. I eat it as a stew (casserole) but you could add extra liquid and have it as a soup - either blended or chunky. Hope to enjoy it! Any problems with the link let me know and il type it out (lazy!!).0 -
Two weeks in the books!

Start Weight: 197
Challenge Goal Weight:
Weigh-in #1: 194.2
Weigh-in #2: 193.2
A positive thought I had this week was: I've done this before, and I can do it again. I can't rely on anyone, no one can help me, I have to do this for myself, and I can do it.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I usually eat pretty well, so I'm happy that I've stuck through two weeks of a very clean, straight diet...no cheating! I did find a new yogurt replacement...Elli Quark! It's like yogurt, but it's cheese, and it's delicious. I still love yogurt (Greek), but it's a nice change.
My most effective workout this week was: Spin class! I also started weight training again, so hopefully I'll start seeing some of those effects soon.
Comments: I went to one yoga class last week, which is great. I need to start planning that back into my schedule more regularly. So that's the goal for next week! Add at least one yoga class for stretching and calming the mind.1
