week #1- 183.8

Positive thought: self care means saying no, getting enough sleep and listening to what my body needs, reading and relaxing more.
Heathy meal/snack: I've been completely cooking at home and will for the next 20 days at least. Made a tasty Italian dressing, chicken spinach burgers and veggie nori rolls. And made maple syrup cinnamon chickpeas which are a great snack.
Effective workout: finally met with my trainer last Tuesday! She worked me out. I also was glad I got my own training session in Sunday on my own and Zumba on Saturday. Glad to be moving again.
Comments: I've been missing getting dinner with my SO and seeing the meals he gets. I miss Thai, sushi, sandwiches, etc. But I also know I want to feel better and I'm doing this because I need to. And thankfully I'll be able to eat out again soon.

Almost forgot to weigh in! Leaving for vacation right after work so today is short and sweet.
Next week I may not be able to check in for two reasons. One-I'll be on vacation and won't have a scale. Two-I will have very limited wifi access.
Y'all Friday is the day I wear the bikini in public! OMG, I'm so nervous and excited. I'll let y'all know how I do. Trust me, I realize that no one but myself gives a flying flip what bathing suit I wear so I just need to get over it.

I forgot to weight in on Monday - my normal weigh day is Wednesday. As long as I weigh in once a week . . . same time,
Week 3
Start weight: 187
Challenge weight goal: 177
Week 1: 187
Week 2: 186
Week 3: 185
Positive thought - I worked out a minimum of 30 minutes every day, and hard stuff too, weights, intervals, flipping BURPEES - which I HATE, and spinning. Push-ups are getting much easier. I've also cut back on wine.
Snack - generally healthy. Nuts, hard boiled eggs, oranges versus pretzels and Trader Joes Pub cheese.2 -

Nice losing streak. LOL! I despise burpees as well

YES you are worth it....GREAT thought . I really am trying hard to like cauliflower. I eat it with vegetable mixes (brocoli, cauliflower and carrots) because I know its good for me but I honestly don't love it. 0 -

Positive thought: one bad choice does not ruin all my good choices.
Best snack do the week: Walnuts and triscuits I brought from home on the airplane instead of stale peanuts.
Best workout: slow workout week for me as I was in Vegas and the wind was blowing like crazy, but I’m back on it this morning!
Comments: Even though I spent the weekend in Vegas and succumbed to that delicious Aunt Annie’s pretzel in the airport, I mostly made reasonable food choices and am still in control. I even had a small piece of my granddaughter’s birthday cake without feeling guilty. I did notice how quickly I felt bloated eating salty and sugary foods and how overly sweet the sweet things taste. Only up .2 pounds so I didn’t go nuts. Also, since I still felt in control, I didn’t beat myself up with a bunch of guilt over my “bad” choices and am not giving up. Thinking ahead to handling these situations is key to mental success here.
IF there was a Cinnabun and you skipped it then I consider that a win

A positive thought I had this week was: doesn't matter how big or small the weekly loss is ... any weight loss is welcomed!
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I like to try new recipes every week and this time I made low carb bread, ricotta mixed berries muffins as well as zucchini cannelloni filled with goat cheese and spinach ... it was definitively a delicious week!
My most effective workout this week was: spinning
I used to spin all the time some years back. I miss it. You are losing and that's what matters. GREAT job!!!1 -

A positive thought I had this week was: A change in my class schedule turned into a challenge to take concrete steps towards a new career. Anxiety about that, too, as I feel I am not ready/skilled enough yet.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: German whole grain bread with cream cheese, tomatoes, and basil.
My most effective workout this week was: The planks didn’t work for me and the abs exercises I substituted left me sore for days. So I relied on my body cycle biking while watching TV to relax.
Comments: Losing weight wasn’t in the forefront as work stress re-emerged, that is a conflict of dedicating time and energy to current job and to study. I turned 58 today and I hope that this new year will bring me closer to what I love to do.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I know all too well about a stressful job AND I know all too well about being in school. Do what you can for now until you are able to do all that you want to do; control whats controllable. Good luck the rest of this week

Challenge Start Weight: 133.6
Challenge Goal Weight: 129
Wk 1: 133.6
Wk 2: 131.4
Wk 3. 131.6
A positive thought I had this week was: "I AM DOING THIS!” -- it's kind of my mantra now.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Shredded cabbage salad with HB eggs.
My most effective workout this week was: I'm now alternating running and lifting, and I ran a treadmill 5k on one of those days. My goal is to run it fast... but I haven't run three miles indoors in years so it's a nice milestone!
I was sedentary for a course I took over the weekend, and I ate at maintenance those days, which wrecked the tiny drop I had mid-week. No problem, in the grand scheme of things. I actually had a really "binge-y" week, controlling my calorie range but feeling out of control while eating anyway. So to maintain during that type of week is a success.

Weigh-in #3: 131.6
Comments: I skipped Monday because I went out drinking with an old friend from high school this weekend. I don't drink that often and I've heard that alcohol causes water retention but idk how much to expect and I didn't want to feel disheartened.
Secondary comment: I got on my scale 6 times in a row today (because I've noticed some precision issues before), and the first 5 times it said 130.8, 6th time it said 131.6.
Also, went to the doctor today, and they had me at 136. Can a phone/shoes/hoodie combo really weigh 5 pounds?
Tl;dr: I cheated because I'm a cheater, and what's with doctors' scales?
A positive thought I had this week was: I'm glad to reunite with my HS friends! Lol we were all so awkward but our bond was made strong
Happy Friday!2 -
Week 3 —
Comments: I'm up a pound. This morning when I saw that, I was bummed and considered delaying my "official" weigh in until tomorrow. Then I realized no one is really judging me but me, and it's just a number along the way! Happy Monday!
I cheated to avoid a potential bummed out feeling, but I like your outlook! I will try to follow it next week and be more consistent.
