    A positive though I had this week was: I was happy because I tried on this little white skirt I wore when I was a 16 year old hostess....I'm can't say it fit exactly BUT it's very possible it will soon.
    I made a sandwich with peanut butter, sugar free maple syrup, and hemp seeds. Kind of weird and kind of a lot of calories but nutritional.
    I did not work out again this week, it's so awful but work has me so tired. The last time I worked out before my shift I felt like I was gonna fall asleep on the way home.

    I’ve been feeling really bloated for the past couple of days, so was quite surprised not to see a gain on the scale. I’m pretty happy with a maintain, I think last week was a freakish low anyway.

    Managed to run 4km /31 minutes without a walk break at the weekend. I feel like I am progressing back to my pre-illness fitness levels and so that’s good. Both my most effective workout and my positive thought. Healthy snack? There’s another brand of low-calorie high protein ice cream appeared in the shops... 350 calories a tub (500ml I think?) and we stretched it to 5 servings. At £5 a tub though I am not sure it’s going to be a regular thing!

    A positive thought I had this week was:
    Over the last five years I’ve made so many healthy changes to my life.

    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: lots more fruit and veg

    My most effective workout this week was: just every day movement on the boats.


    Comments: I’m now tackling my beer o’clock between 3 and 5 pm habit. Need to keep myself busy so I don’t automatically stop and grab a beer or more. Which leads to further poor food choices. Lots of empty calories.

    Weigh-In #2: 59.4
    Weig-In #3: 58.7kg

    Lots of positive thoughts this week: 1. It's been 15 years since I last saw the number 58 on a scale! I am absolutely chuffed. 2. I've had a big food bingy weekend and was so relieved that the scales haven't gone up. 3. I've lost a pound in the last two weeks. This might seem microscopic, but I am so near goal weight that any losses are really hard work. 4. I took some photos with a friend and thought I looked really slim in the pictures.

    Healthy snack/meal: I am so in love with Anna Jones' vegetarian cookbook A Modern Way to Eat. It's hands-down THE best cook book I own now.

    Most effective workout: Unfortunately, I didn't make it to BodyAttack last week, but a 5km run and a couple of long commuter rides seemed to have done the trick.

    Comments: I am increasingly worried about work stress luring me back into emotional-eating-territory. This weekend wasn't great. Goal for this week: get back into meditation. It really helps with life.

    Weigh-in #3: 236.4 (lowest 235.8)

    A positive thought I had this week was: I need to slow down, I cannot study/work around the clock.
    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Brown rice with mango and slivered almonds.
    My most effective workout this week was: No workout.

    Comments: I practiced self-care and stayed home from work. No social life due to this grueling schedule and compensating with food, which, of course, is no true substitute.

    Wk1 132.2 -1.8
    Wk2 131.5 -0.7
    Wk3 131.1 -0.4

    A positive thought I had this week: “this is fun.”

    Healthy meal: grilled marinated chicken with skillet blistered green beans & cherry tomatoes.

    Good workout: Pilates warmup and 4 mile slow trail jog

    I had a super week, but in terms of wellness: my back went “out,” I overextended myself at work, let myself get too hungry by dinner, and didn’t save energy for evening walks. All small things I can improve this week.

    Overall, I’m feeling happy where I am, which is crazy for me to say! But I have to stay focused.

    Anyway... you all inspire me, let’s keep up the good work.

    It actually has been a pretty good week. I have been able to work out and move a little more and have stayed well within/under calorie goal. I have been taking some meds that are making me super constipated (TMI I know), so I think even though I am not seeing it on the scale at the moment, I am making good choices and progress.

    Weigh-in #2: 152.2

    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Protein cheesecake from the recipe forum here. I have been tweaking the recipe and this batch was almost perfect (I finally got a six inch pan).

    My most effective workout this week was: I'm still working on the same fitness blender program.

    Snacks are my number one challenge right now. I am going to follow @shroodle88 's lead and try meditation.

    A positive thought I had this week was: An actual thought I had while out at restaurant "Huh, none of these high calorie items actually sound good." In my old life I would have dived head first into some of those items!
    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: A nice salad before pizza so I wouldn't eat too much.
    My most effective workout this week was: Light lifting.


    Comments: Well, birthday week had me up like I expected but by weigh in it wasn't too bad. Back in the saddle and working my way down to my goal weight.

    Have a great week everyone. :)

    So I did weigh myself on Monday. The exact same 5 lb gain I had I lost it last week. Yay hooray for me. This is a busy week for me. I’m trying to figure out some no carb/low carb meals and how I can fit in gym days throughout the week. Body composition is so very important at this point. I know the heavy lifting will help. The correct diet MUST follow.

    Positive thought: Enjoying some samples from Sephora~ and I got some prescription sunglasses so I can finally see while driving

    Healthy snack/meal: palak paneer

    Exercise: Dog walk (but she's started pulling so much). I want to run with her but I've never run and my ankles are weak (damsel alert T_T)

    Comments: It's that TOM but idk if I can blame everything on that even though it's definitely related (wish there was a way to track both in the same app). Gotta get back on track with tracking! Haven't gained too much, but I'm ready to send my numbers the other way. Also, I second that request for cheesecake recipe~

    I hope that I am sharing this link for the protein cheesecake correctly. If not, the post is in the recipe forum on MFP usually on the first page.

    week #3 - 173

    Went on a much needed weekend away and was so grateful to find places that were able to accommodate my current restrictions. So I ate out for like 4 days and decided not to exercise to see if that would help with my energy. Went to the dr about my fatigue and trying vitamin d supplements to see if they help. Though on the first try starting having some side effects only to realize the supplements contain corn. I'm like really?? I stopped taking it and started to feel better. I found another brand that doesn't have corn along with a zillion other things so I'm hoping I see improved energy. I'm not really concerned about the weight gain, though on the trip I did have dairy. So I think I"m going to scale back on it and limit it to butter. Last time I had cheese I saw weight gain, but I had been working out and been super great at my eating. Man, the way foods impact your body! Testing soy again and then going to dive into gluten and wheat.

    My daughter makes a Greek yogurt cheesecake every week and I’ve mentioned this recipe to her. Time to try it! What protein powder did you use?
