Sorry Team! I must have hit a stall. I stayed under my calories every day except one. I didn’t eat anything that I wasn’t supposed to and I was in the pool for about five hours this week. I know weight fluctuates and we have ups and downs, but I am not happy with the week’s results! Next week will be awesome!3 -
My favorite sport is racing, both horse and auto.
I watch both mostly on tv. I am making plans to go to some small local tracks for both this spring and summer.
I have a confession to make, I like to watch NASCAR, but not for the race itself. I only like the 15 car pileups. It's kind of impressive to see so many mangled cars..just saying. I know, I'm a terrible person.

That happens to everyone, but it's important not to give up, also, it's important to know when it's time to make a change. If you have lost a significant amount ( like 30 lbs for example ), then it might be time for an adjustment, but it also, just happens, sometimes we lose, sometimes we don't. There's a scientific reason that's referred to "the whoosh effect" and you might just be holding water in your fat cells and soon, your body will give up that you're not going to refill them. Another thing is, if you're gaining muscle, you might still be losing fat, but not weight--in any case, hang in there, it will happen!! It's far better to hang at a number for a bit, than to give up and go back up!!3 -
Happy Friday Slimsons!!

Morning team. Normally my weigh in day starts with a cup of tea and a single dollop of cream. And I wouldn't eat anything until I dropped a bit of water weight through the morning. But to my amazement, the scales are being kind this morning so I'm just going to log it and go enjoy a nice hot brekky for a change. Housemates are away so pants are optional lmao.

Day/Goals: I really need some me time. So I think I'll spend the weekend de-stressing. Hang out with the cat and chickens and enjoy having the place to myself. No doubt some time will be spent in the shed which is always a good workout anyway.

Last week I proposed a plan, and this is a quick report on that. I did reduce my daily intake from 1800cal to 1600, and I did not successfully implement a daily exercise routine. This week, I will happily continue with the calorie budget, but honestly. Given my frame of mind and reserves of commitment, I can't see the daily gym thing happening. Rather, I will just renew my efforts to spend more time in the shed/bush.

Just want to do a quick post about a wierd anomaly from this week gone. Truth be told, on several occasions including last night I was a bit naughty with my eating. Generally, I try my best to eat my daily cal budget during daytime hours as I've experienced my best loss that way. But when stressed, I don't sleep and in the very early hours of the morning the cravings are intense. When I break, I don't snack.. I will eat up to 1200cal of my 1600 budget for the day. Which really sux the next day{light} when I doggedly stick to my budget and eat 600cal. And every time I do this, I know I'm making life more difficult for myself. I know I will wake in the morning weighing more than I did yesterday, etc.. Then spend the day feeling hungry.
The anomaly is this.. Lately, I've been working on a keto chocolate icecream recipe. So I've been trying some very simple mixtures, like unsweetened cocoa powder, Natvia sugar substitute and thickened cream mixed together in different proportions. Inevitably during times of stress I find myself sitting up late thinking about this yummy concoction and in a moment of weakness.. making some... and then usually some more..
The bit I don't get is, I wake the next morning.. Weigh in as usual and to my genuine surprise, I weigh less. Like nealy a lb less.. .. 3 nights in a row..
Could it be that I've stumbled across the mythical late night choc icecream diet? I'm thinking more investigation is required.. much more. hahaha
P.S. Please don't try this at home.4 -

Comments: Does anyone else cough after doing an intense, endurance-testing exercise lol
Yes I do but that vould be one or two things your body preventing you from a heart attack or your bresthing is irregular and trying to regulate itself both good but something to be aware of. . .try drinking more water in between that helps but depending on the workout sometimes you cant take a break in betweem but I was told to modified the workout so that you are able to take sips in between. It was good advice for me as it actually work and the coughing stop and I was able to get back to my regular workout regimen2 -

just finished doing my catchup read.
@143tobe & @carlsoda Great to see some other outdoors fans here. Carl, nothing nicer than cooking over an open fire. Lisa, have a great vacation.
@gemwolf110 I am just so jealous of that snow lol.
@JJKM02 You've got the right idea there, just power on through. It's frustrating to put in the hard yards and not be rewarded, but it will all sort itself out.
@gjaholy33 So sorry to hear you are hurting Gloria. I hope it settles down for you this week.1 -

I highly doubt i gained 6lbs in a week, I did go to a birthday party yesterday and I ate and drank a lot but not 21000 calories XD. It's most likely water weigh as I feel so bloated. Going to try to get 10,000 steps each day this week as well as drink at least 8 glasses of water a day as I've been only hitting 5.0 -

Still a loss and compare to my progress this week it's the least I expected. Probably not going to reach my monthly goal because if all the set backs but if I lose at least 15lbs this month I'll be happy.3 -

I decided to get a Fitbit to try to help with some motivation to move. I'm also going to begin 30 day shred. I've ised it before successfully to jumpstart my exercise, hoping it'll work this time too.0 -

It should say that none of my dress slacks fit. The skirt I found is too big but doesn't look too sloppy. But if I keep losing weight it will be way too big.0 -
