I really don’t know what’s going on with me, I’ve been in such a bummed out mood and so unmotivated. I’m nervous for weigh in day tomorrow 😖

Daily post Tuesday 9/4
Track: Yes!
Calories: Under
Exercise: Yes - Water aerobics
Had a perfect day. My carbs were on point, exercise had a good burn for how long I was in the pool. If every day was like today, I would reach my goals in no time! I am trying to make Wednesday just as awesome.3 -

Exercise yes. Physical therapy 30 min.
Carbs no
Tomorrow I will be back to our condo in PV. It’s been a difficult month with the knee replacement I had on Aug 1st. I am getting better and hope to have a good week not surrounded by foods I am not suppose to have here at my daughter and son-in-laws plus 4 grandchildren’s Home. I will miss them though so tomorrow will be a sad day. I have not been home for 5 weeks so my goal is to grocery shop wisely by avoiding the high carbs like bread and chips. I hope we each can have a weight loss this week! 😃
And yet you were still able to lose 2.80% last month. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Great job, Nona.1 -

Tomorrows goal is to continue with this momentum and start planning my days out, I find I do better when I’m prepared. Tomorrow is also a rest day since I have class and work all day but I’ll be meeting with a personal trainer Thursday to help get me more familiar with the gym!
@adri_rene208 The personal trainer was literally the best decision I have ever made. Getting comfortable with the gym and weights really changed my life. Good luck!! I can't wait to hear how it goes!1 -

@a_petersen09 I think you really have to find something you like doing. Like I really like lifting, I don't look at it like it's a chore...now, I walk a lot and do other things I don't like that I tell myself are necessary evils, but really I look forward to most of it
And if you have a bad weigh in, use that as motivation to do better and hang in there. Don't stress too much, I don't even lose every single week, some weeks I lose 3 lbs, some weeks I lose nothing and that's just part of the game.1 -

Daily Post for Tuesday
Track: Yes
Calories: No
Exercise:Took the stairs at work, and chased a toddler....
Current goal is to track and log EVERYTHING and make sure I do my daily posts. It's been a while, so I need to get back into this habit.
Also, I am going out to dinner tonight for my mom's birthday, so I need to make sure I have calories for that. I already scoped out the menu, and have 2 options I am leaning towards. 3 -
Hi team!
Daily post - Wed, Sept 5
Tracked: Yes
Calories: Under! 1268/1275
Exercise: Yes, 45 minutes SoulCycle
Goals- I gave up sweetener in my coffee. Also having my last cappuccino for a while tomorrow. It’s just too many calories and carbs from the half and half. Moving to black coffee ☕️ I bought some 100% Kona coffee from Hawaii - looking forward to that!1 -

Mary, I put Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Cashew milk in my coffee (1/4 cup is only 6 calories!) and use stevia to sweeten---I blend it and it get's frothy like a cappuccino, tastes pretty good!1 -

Yum!!! I see a lot of people drinking cashew milk/ I’m going to have to try!! I also just ordered some nutpods on Amazon - have you seen them? I got the sugar free vanilla- crossing fingers lol
Frothy coffee is my best friend in the morning.

Exercise: Yes, 4 mile walk outside this morning and gym: 20 min/ stairs & 45 min. lateral climber
Goals: Trying for my second 5/2 fast tomorrow. I have a corporate BBQ this weekend and another evening out after --- so I'm trying to think ahead and eat light and fast throughout this week to combat any unplanned drinks, etc. during the events. Weigh in is Friday morning.

WTG Momma! Are you still teaching water aerobics?
I am just taking classes right now and subbing occasionally. I have to finish my CPR/first aid class to be a regular teacher with a class. I am hoping I will have my own class in about 6 weeks when the new session starts.

Just take one day at a time, one meal at a time if you need too. It is really difficult if not impossible to out exercise a bad diet. I believe in you! You can do this.1 -

@ekuassi she's right, you can't out exercise a bad diet. If work is stressful, you might think about meal prepping and eat what you bring, at least you can get a handle on that aspect of things. And maybe pack something additional like a snack, something that makes you feel better, less stressed, like sadly I tend to eat sugar free jello, and sometimes I'll use a diet dr pepper (calorie free..yes I know how people feel about soda in the health department, but it works for me)...those are a couple things that just make me feel better when I'm stressed, you really just need to find what works for you. I believe in you, you CAN do this!1 -
Hey guys, friendly reminder, we're still missing a lot of weights from the last few days, please post them as soon as possible!!0

One thing I refuse to give up is a good cup of coffee in the mornng. And I use half and half. Not alot, just a tbsp. I agree it adds up, but that morning coffee sets up my whole day. And it's really not that much. 20 cals, 1 carb, 1 sugar.
But, I was drinking three cups a day. Finally cut it to one cup of coffee and two green teas. And only one Diet Coke.

Hey @jcgator2016 ! I am a coffeeaholic. Seriously - I can drink a vat of it and still want more lol. I think my machine uses 2.5oz for a typical2 -
I had to go yell at my cat - who was in my plant!
I meant to say - I think my cappuccino machine uses so much milk / that’s where my calories are coming from. I estimate 200 cals for 1 cappuccino0 -
