Good for you for not beating yourself up...this time around I refuse to beat myself up if you workout and eat right consistently eventually the weight will fall off! We got this!

Mar Week 2
Previous Weight: 226.6
Current Weight: 228.6

This is my first gain since starting my journey in Dec, but I'm not bummed about it. I was within my calorie goal 6 out of 7 days this week. I have been pushing myself with my strength training so I assume I am gaining for the right reasons: muscle healing and building.

And I'm pretty content with my NSVs for this week. My motor skills continue to improve thanks to strength training. I feel SHAPELY and STRONG. And on Friday, my entire team commented on my weight loss so I floated through the whole day

Sunday, March 11
Tracking: No
Calories: Maybe
Exercise: No

This is going to be a super busy week. I'm also going to be changing up my exercise. This week I'm working extra hard to do my menu planning and to stick to cooking those planned meals.

Tracking: yes
Calories: yes
Exercise: yes, 11,222 steps (50 active minutes)

March 11
Tracking: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: Yes...I walk every day
Steps: 16,766

It was really helpful for me when I posted my workout schedule for accountability purposes. On days when I didn't want to get in one of my workouts that was on the schedule, I remembered that I would have a whole team to answer to. That was enough motivation to get my tail moving! And I got to enjoy my rest days during the weekend (which is when I prefer to have my rest days), rather than trying to cram in all of my workouts before week's end because I didn't keep to my schedule.

So, I'm gonna post my workout schedule this week as well:

Sun rest day
Mon 20min strength training + 20min cardio
Tue 20min cardio
Wed 20min strength training + 15min yoga
Thu 20min yoga
Fri 20 min strength training + 20min cardio
Sat rest day

I may move around some of the elements to better fit my week, but it should come out to 3 days of cardio, 3 days of strength training, 2 days of yoga. I don't have any reason why I can't get these done short of falling ill or a serious emergency.

Just as before, I expect my teammates to call me out if you see me getting off-track. I won't be upset by being called out. This is a commitment that I've made to myself and being reminded of that when I'm slacking is not upsetting to me.

This is a new week and a fresh start. Let's show the other teams how TBBT gets down!

Weekends are so hard, and it seems once I've gone over my calories for the day, I give up and eat anything I want, telling myself I'll start over tomorrow. I sure hope I don't gain the weight back that I lost last week. I have three days until I have to weigh in and better make the best of them.

Terry, I feel your pain!!! Once I have gone over, I tend to go into free-for-all mode. Why do we do that??? We need to remember that food is fuel, and we need to ask ourselves if we are really hungry, or just bored, frustrated, tired or whatever before we put something into our mouth!! And if we are not hungry we need to find something constructive to do!! We need to remember that you don't have to be "perfect" to have a good week overall. A few extra calories one day is not going to derail the whole week!! But free-for-alls just might, especially if they occur in multiples!!!! (You do realize this rant was as much for me, as it was for you!!) Let's kill it this week!!!

Thanks @HASWLRS! You are so right. Instead of turning a few extra calories into a binge, I need to keep in mind the end goal. Your comments are very insightful and inspiring.

You are doing great, team! I’m happy for all of your weight loss and effort with the mini challenge! I didn’t do well at all this weekend, between birthday parties and my kids getting sick, I just kinda put myself on the back burner. You know how we do, moms. Today I am tracking again and have a good workout planned for this afternoon. Hope everyone is having a good Monday so far!

Best of luck this week. Unfortunately, every week can't be stellar!! Do the best you can!!!
