Week 4:
Start Weight: 152lb
Challenge Goal Weight: 140-144

Weigh-in #2: 146
Weigh-in #3: 147 / 66.8kg

Total loss: 7lb.
A positive thought: that's half a stone gone!
A healthy meal: A sensible sized portion of haggis, neeps and tatties for Burns night! (probably not healthy, but stayed within my calories)
Effective workout: C25K week 4 is in the bag! On to week 5!
I've decided to start weighing in kg as well as lbs, because my scale only weighs in whole pounds but will do 0.1kg. Since I am set to lose half a pound a week, there's a better chance of a loss showing up in kgs!4 -

I was pretty consistent with the gym this week. Also cooked a good dinner this week, which is a win because I haven’t cooked in so long.
But overall, emotions got the best of me this week. I didn’t stick to my calories, and so my weight is continuing to creep upward. I am still at goal right now, but I need to be watchful so that I don’t end up gaining the weight back.
Marriage is still a wreck and counseling doesn’t seem to be helping - although it has only been a few weeks, and I know this is going to take much, much longer. Feeling very alone.

Comments: (Please share any additional information if you'd like). Don’t know if it’s my connection with all of you or what, but I’m seeing good results and feeling great. My husband started his own diet which makes my shopping easier and he’s not eating as much junk around me, although he takes a day off each week.

Week 4—
Start Weight: 205.8
Challenge Goal Weight: 193.8
Weigh-in #1: 206.8
Weigh-in #2: 205.6
Weigh-in #3: 202.6
Weigh-in #4: 201.6
A positive thought I had this week was: Eat well, feel well!
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Salad, Greek yogurt, overnight oats
My most effective workout this week was: Zumba
Comments: It was a stressful week, so I'm glad I made good choices and stuck to the plan. My husband has some stress/anxiety issues and his doctor changed his medication and doses, so it was just an off week in our home. I took on more of the house and kid responsibilities because I didn't want him to get overwhelmed as his body adjusted to new medication. He seems to be feeling better now though. *fingers crossed*
I spent the majority of Sunday cleaning the kitchen and meal prepping so hopefully the week will go smoothly for meals. Kids and husband have been sick off and on for the past few weeks so I'm just trying to keep everyone healthy.

A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I made chicken fajita stuffed peppers, with red, yellow and orange peppers. They were fabulous, although the offspring and spouse were a bit skeptical...Good news---I get all the leftovers.
My most effective workout this week was: Same old, same old. Did take my beloved labrador Elton on some super long walks...good for us both. Hard to go fast though, because he HAS to sniff and pee on EVERYTHING!
Comments: Spoiled myself at TJ Maxx yesterday---got two super cute yoga outfits and some elastic bands by Zenathletic for muscle/Pilates work. Who cares if no one sees me, since I work out at home...it makes me feel good! Make it a good week!5 -

A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Carrots for snacking
My most effective workout this week was: Didn't happen
Comments: Having a very rough week. I am on the verge of just giving up with trying anymore. I will try harder this week. I blew the exercise last week due to hurting my back and over-doing it. I seem to continue to do this. I am going to commit to no more than 30 minutes at a time each exercise day this week. Hopefully, I can get 5 workouts in, and will NOT hurt myself in some way. Also, I am feeling super PMS'y today. I don't get periods anymore due to hysterectomy (still have ovaries) so the PMS feeling hits me like a ton of bricks because I am never expecting it. I will NOT give in to that crazy nonsense though!4 -

You ARENT alone. We are all here with you. Your marriage isn’t a wreck.....you’re experiencing the “for worse” part. Changes will come in time. You have to believe that and work towards them everyday. Focus on doing YOUR part in the relationship and you will feel better about things. Counseling helps on so many levels.2 -
