I'm finally seeing some downward trends from my couple weeks of stall/gain. There have been many times I have not recorded my weight, since I really didn't want to see the graph go up, I know it's not being honest with myself.

I went to fleet feet and got fitted yesterday, and I also bought a foam roller. Rolling is easier said than done, but I felt better. I took a 1 mile walk in my new shoes and they weren't as comfortable as they were walking around the store. I'm going to continue to break them in, and I have 60 days to return if needed. I successfully did 2 days of the couch to 5k program!

@heather --congrats on your new shoes!! Since I became a runner, I have a difficult time walking into a shoe store without leaving with a new pair of runners. LOL!

@allison --I think my bump is also due to sodium from eating out yesterday.

@dallas --sometimes life interferes with our focus, but you had a nice loss nonetheless--congrats!

AFM--I had a slight gain, probably due to eating out and my 2 days of eating more calories than usual. I think I may have also been stressed about work--which sucks because I'm on summer break. However, I'm teaching a class that I've never taught--Media and Film. Of course, I've taught a lot of the skills, but I was struggling to figure out a schedule and pacing because the curriculum I was given is vague. Also, I'm the only person teaching the course this fall, so I'm on my own for planning. I worked on it for 2 hours yesterday, but I was still sort of lost. Then, this morning I took my car in to get it detailed and spent the 2.5 hours figuring out my calendar/lessons for the first 3 weeks, and I feel a lot better now.

July 8- 251.8. I’ve been struggling with hunger. When it goes on for days, I don’t cope well. I can handle a few hours. I also have not been pre prepping my lunches and dinners, but I got the items I need from the grocery store and will get back on the wagon.
July 13- 248.2. I don’t think I will make my July goal. I’m torn between feeling desperate to make sure I make it, and being zen about the fact that I have a lot of weight to lose and just being happy about losing at any pace. I see posts all the time from people who lost 100 pounds in a year and for some reason I am fixated on that as a goal…and I am not on pace to manage that. Why oh why am I getting so down on myself when I’m actually doing WELL to lose AT ALL?
July 22 – 248.8. Too much salt, and humid weather (for here). I am logging everything and am under calories, using my scale as well.

jenniferallen33, that's the right attitude. Don't let one off day throw you off track. We all stumble.

Anyone know if I'm hurting from doing my exercises right or wrong? Lol this is my second day doing a low impact cardio video for 20 minutes and yesterday I thought I could go faster today and now my legs are sore! Haha i'm hoping it's a pain that will result in good and not bad

Is this your first time exercising? If you are on this thread you, like me, have substantial weight to lose, meaning body awareness is super important because we can be susceptible to injury. If you aren't familiar with exercising or your body's response to exercise, then either take it slow or find an experienced trainer to help you determine if your pain will equal gain or lead to injury.
Keep moving, be safe 😊
