Positive thought remember to post today.
Did a lot of meal prep yesterday to hopefully be able to stay on track and eat better.
Best workout by far was Saturday 10 flights of stairs with weight vest. Then a killer burn. Class.
Nice workout. How much does your vest weigh?0 -

A positive thought I had this week was: no positive thoughts this week..
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: all wrong food choices
My most effective workout this week was: didn't work out at all
Comments: didn't go well... Exam pressure, office, kids , bad food choices, not logging food, lost my streak.. not feeling good about it. I need to get serious about it.. taking casual approach is not taking me any where.4 -

Loss: -1.2
A positive thought I had this week was: It's been a tough week...but I'm still here and checking in and somehow I'm down a pound
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: most dinners were some form of grilled meat and a salad
My most effective workout this week was: I didn't work out at all this week
Comments: It's been a stressful and an emotional week so I'm hoping this week will be better. I totally skipped the gym every day last week and I felt guilty about it for a while but I think I just needed a break and few extra hours of sleep. The good news is that I didn't really overeat and could limit my emotional eating to something that wasn't totally destructive. I stress baked some brownies yesterday though, so we'll see how that goes haha2 -

Sometimes extra sleep is needed. I have plenty of days I’m like nope no workout today. In the bed I go. Oh, and mail me a brownie.

Week
Start weight: 150 ish
Challenge Goal Weight: 145
Weigh-in #1: 149.6
Weigh-in #2: skipped
Weigh-in #3: 150.2
Weigh-in #4: 152.2
No particularly inspirational thoughts this week.
All of the work meals I pack are pretty healthy, but I eat the exact same food every time I work.
I think I only made it to the gym once.. I don't even feel guilty because sleep is probably my #1 hobby. But, I know that working out really helps me mentally so I'm going to try to do better.
I stayed within my calorie goal 6/7 days this week, but I'm pretty sure the 20ish cough drops a day I'm eating and not logging might be the problem, lol.

Comments:
I’m late checking in but I’m here and ready to get going again. Had to say goodbye to an uncle this week, it was very sad.
Today is Feb 1 & I’m starting the Strong Curves beginner program over again today with added resistance variations, and I’m going to keep working on my 5k time (and treadmill patience!)3 -

My most effective workout this week was: On Friday I did 3 rounds of Bikini Body Mommy - cardio and strength training, which was awesome!
So I lost about half a pound which is awesome. My goal for the next month is to focus on lifting 3 times a week and incorporating at least 2 sessions of cardio along with that. As always, I need to drink more water--I am currently doing maybe a bottle a day.5 -

This time I didn't cheat, I just forgot to post it!
Positive thought: I am hoping to cut down on my hour commute (2x/day) soon! My friend helped me make a budget, and I've spent so much time this week looking. Definitely by March~ probably.
Healthy choice: I started drinking a "green food" blend with probiotics, and it is entirely bearable without adding all the wonderful smoothie ingredients I would normally be tempted to add! Not a snack/meal, but I also started taking multivitamins and a D-3 supplement (per MD).
Other: Between my two hours of driving and searching for a nice, safe AND affordable apartment or room for rent, I haven't been logging consistently and I've had less time for my dog.
but once I move, I should have 2 more hours each day to spend with her! 3 -
Ok - confession: I am late posting my weight because I was embarrassed that it shot up. I was again traveling for work from Wed-Sunday and my Monday weight was mortifying. My brain said that it was ok (retained water from salty restaurant meals, bloating from TOM, etc.) but I still felt totally ashamed. I never missed a workout but I did indulge in snacks and alcoholic drinks - without logging them. But now I have to face the music. We are in this together and we all have ups and downs. Incidentally, I’ve lost weight during travel in the past, so I should know what to do...
Week 4—
Goal weight 124
Start 130.2
Jan 8 #1 127.8
Jan 15 #2 130.0
Jan 22 #3 130.2
Jan 29 #4 133.0
A positive thought I had this week was: Don’t give up.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: My strategy for dealing with all the treats we had during working lunches was just take one quarter or one-half of the treat, to satisfy my curiosity without eating a whole cookies/brownie/whatever. Interestingly, MANY of my colleagues followed my lead and did the same. Nearly all of us are mindful of our health.
My most effective workout this week was: I did the same kind of workout that I normally do in my house, but after exercising at the hotel gym, a woman commented about how tough my routine is. It’s nothing special: I do 20 min cardio followed immediately by an intense circuit of 3-4 compound exercises with weights for a total of 30-40 min.
Sorry for the rambling post. It’s great and inspiring to see everyone’s progress.1
