Yesterday's Daily Post
I had a whole OK couple days still struggling but still trying to least track if I do not do anything else. Trying herbal remedies to help alleviate some of pain so far it is not working. But was able to catch up on some of my homework at least. Will try to Chair exercises at least 3x this week despite my pain level.
Track yes
Calories way under
Exercise no
Water 112oz need to drink more
Way to stay positive and work towards your goals, despite the pain. I know I've said this before, food goals are far more important to hit than exercise goals in the grand scheme of weight loss, so you should continue loosing with proper diet even if you are in too much pain to exercise, but kudos for working on it anyway!!0 -

Honestly, I see things like this and think you should weigh like nothing. I can spend hours in the gym lifting weights, but there is no way you could put me on an elliptical for an hour...and have me survive..0 -

Doesn't Maine get a lot of snow? There is no way you can convince me to move to someplace that gets buried alive each winter..just saying.0 -

Messing up
You just haven't gotten back into the swing of things after vacation, you will get there, just take it one step at a time. Maybe try pre-tracking...? Whenever I'm having food problems I start tracking my food at the beginning of the day...which is what I'm back to doing for the time being.1 -

While I don't have any suggestions for a detox, I can suggest change for a plateau, a change in activity level or routine, or a change in food. I plateaued myself at about 190 and I just cut back some more calories and that got the scale moving again, you might just need to shock your system with something new, or adjust your intake a bit. Typically when you lose a significant amount of weight, you need to re-evaluate your goals with how much you're taking in. I wasn't ready to admit that I needed less food to lose more weight for about 9 weeks or so, but I gave in and adjusted my macros again and I lost, like almost instantly...might be worth taking a look.
It's super frustrating, but hang in there, things will start moving again!!0 -

Daily Post April 4
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes - under but not significantly
Exercise: yes, I restarted the 21 day fix and did the cardio work out which had me modifying most exercises since I am so out of shape!
Water- not enough but trying to work on one thing at a time- figured out keto, tracking everything and adding in exercise this week. Hoping to figure out a good routine to drink enough water- but that will probably be next week.1 -

@AB0215 and that’s what drives me nuts. I put the effort in, but I don’t see it on the scale. I did the kickboxing in the morning. My husband worked late so I hit the gym at night. Lol, the old me would’ve had a bottle of wine and bag of chips on nights like that. I do agree though. My body needs a shock. Just need to figure out how to shock the system.

Calories: Yes.

I made an important discovery with my cooking. One of the ingredients I add to some food is powdered psyllium husk for some added fibre. It's got no flavor or even texture, it just dissapears into things like keto pancake mix etc. So I got to thinking hey I should add this stuff to everything.. I put literally half a teaspoon into a big cook up of Butter chicken and wow was I not expecting the result. It was like I added Gelatin or something. My smooth creamy sauce turned into literally Indian curry jello. It wouldn't even slide out of the pan at 90deg angle lmao. I'm sure it will taste ok.. But lesson learned.1 -
@jennfalzon1979 I can't offer solutions, but I sure can appreciate the frustration of a stall. Perhaps a little intermittent fasting would shake your system into action. My only other suggestion is a little counter intuitive. I broke my last stall by upping my daily calories by 100 for a week, then dropping them again. But whatever you try, just stay on course, you will go off the edge of that plateau soon enough.
@AB0215 Make sure you get a good strong heal on that back.1 -

I did not hit my personal step goal wednesday at 7000. Actually I probably did but didn't realize my watch died about 6:00 and it last showed 6176 steps so I can't prove it to myself lol. So I am going to keep my goal today at 7000. Have a great day everyone!0 -
@Fyreside I am currently kicking myself because this is on me. My weight lifting is now about 30 lbs heavier than my last training cycle and I usually don't wear my belt until I get to about the 85% range of my max, but I failed to take into account that this is my heaviest cycle yet and I might need to use it at a lower percentage just because the weight is much heavier and I haven't quite gotten used to it yet. It's like my 75% now is like my 85% last month so I wasn't thinking and it's really my fault, but it's better now after 2 days of complete, soul crushing rest. lol. I really feel like I cheated on the gym this week with my chair...
I'm headed to the gym in the next hour to catch up on my bench press, and then tomorrow my deadlifts..1 -
