A positive thought I had this week was: I just felt good about my choices all week. And I'm slowly staring to kick my sweets habit. Don't get me wrong, still eat a lot of snacks but I said "no thanks" when a coworker offered me a donut and I actually thought about it and realized I didn't want it.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Freshii just opened in my city and I ate there twice last week. It's yummy!
My most effective workout this week was: Just making it to the gym was an accomplishment. I fell off the gym wagon but am feeling more determined.

Comments: I guess it really does come down to CICO... amazing how my brain still tries fighting that idea

I also opened up my instant pot. Wow. Life changer for a working mom of 5 and step mom of 2 that commutes lol 3 recipes were amazing, 2 were total fails... I am sure having fun with it either way...

positive thought I had this week was: i started losing weight over summer when work was quiet. Now its busy and stressful again and ive just had a spring break with family which meant lots of food and wine. I was worried I'd fall off the wagon because things feel a bit looser atm, but to my surprise i am managing to curb my appetite and mostly stick to my calorie goal. Perhaps my new habits of loging and counting have started to take hold?

A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: carrots - love them!

My most effective workout this week was: i went to a bodypump class for the first time and was incredibly sore all over for 2 days! :-)

Comments:
Ive been plateauing at 59.something for a month now - time to tighten the reigns and crack those last two kilos before my overseas trip in June!

Weigh-in #1: 210.6
Weigh-in #2: 208.6

A positive thought I had this week was: I don't have to do everything perfect to lose weight
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I made some crock pot chicken taco chili for the week from skinnytaste, one of my favorites
My most effective workout this week was: same as last week, full body strength and C25K

Comments: I know there are a bunch of things I can improve upon from this week, so I'm a little surprised I'm 2 pounds down but I will happily take it. I met my goal of going to the gym 4x this week, just need to work on making better choices when eating out.

Weigh-in #2
Challenge Start Weight: 153.6
Challenge Goal Weight: 145
Weigh-in #1: 155.6
Weigh-in #2: 152.2

A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I spent 20 minutes chopping/ prepping fresh veggies to keep in the fridge for snacks. I really can not believe that I hadn't done that before since my biggest issue is snacking and I actually like vegetables..

My most effective workout this week was: I'm still plugging away at fitnessblender. This week's routines weren't that impressive, but sticking with the program did prevent me from skipping cardio days.

Challenge SW 133.9
GW 125 or Recomp
Wk1 132.2 -1.8
Wk2 131.5 - 0.7

Positive thought: I know what my body needs to lean out. This deficit is temporary if I can stay on track.

Healthy snack: Raw almonds. They’re so boring. Boring foods keep cravings under control if I’m really hungry between meals.

A workout: Strong Curves program with bands and dumbbells and a 1.5 mile sprint interval run.

I did wall squats one day and drank extra water another for the challenge. I might need negative reinforcement for my fridge habit. Anyone want to come over and slap my wrist when I dig in there?

I am late weighing in but it was my husbands 30th birthday Sunday and I've been up to no good. Haha the 131 I weighed yesterday is the lowest I've been but I'm assuming that it's just because I was dehydrated from the lovely bottles of wine our table split at dinner. Splurging was fun but its back to business now.
