    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.

    I try to keep my coffee at 1 (16oz.) a day---- then I too, go with green tea and other teas throughout the day. Some days I break down and have a decaf-- but I stick with sugar free/stevia sweetened and almond milk only. I can't even keep half & half or cream in the house---too tempting :s

    Day: Weds
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Nope

    Day: Running around the operating room for 12 hours had my feet hurting and me completely exhausted. The bonus is that I wasn’t able to eat until 1 pm (although my IF has me eating at 11 am). Staying busy all day kept me from grazing!!

    Goals/Day: I achieved my goal of staying on track and drinking my water!! 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!

    Thanks! I’d really like to do more lifting but have no idea on how to begin, I’m hoping it’s the change I need!

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise:Yes, 60 minutes weight training

    Comments: Good day, accidentally fasted....blaming my new work schedule, not sure it's entirely a bad thing though.
    Will be taking the next few days easy, have a dr's appointment and a minor procedure so I'm not supposed to lift for like 3 days (this might kill me), but it's only 3 days....I keep telling myself.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Over
    Exercise: Yes, 20 minutes of stationary bike and cleaning.

    Got some exercise in but was over on my calories. Good gravy!! Haha thank goodness tomorrow is new day and I WILL get back on track with both!! Yesterday I said I was going to do something that makes me feel good, I ended up staying off of social media pretty much all day. It’s so easy as a stay at home mom to be glued to my phone every time my daughter takes a nap. I was able to get some stuff done and was definitely in a better mood. I think I’m gonna take another day tomorrow too! I hope you all had a wonderful Wednesday!

    Good luck on your procedure --- I know it must be hard to slow down once you're on a roll like you are--- rest and heal!

    @SLIMn2016 It's really minor, I'm just switching birth control methods--I'm getting the implant in my arm, so a little swelling, some bruising, but I have to wait for the little needle hole to close before I lift, which she said is 3-5 days and I can cheat if I want to and just do legs. And I already cheated this morning, got up at 6am and went for a walk and did 30 mins weight training. While I can't lift because I have to wait for the needle hole to close before I lift again, I can walk starting tomorrow so I'm not really going to miss exercise and really I could cheat and do legs, just not arms. The hardest part is going to be making it through the rest of today, I can't do anything today, mostly because it can't get wet for 24 hours, so sweat and showers are out. :wink:

    @CourtneyLomonaco I think the mindset is the hardest part, I stalled for a few months and once I got rid of all the clothes in my closet, it was like I let go of the "fat girl" I have always been. It amazes me still how much this really is a mental game.

    Weigh in week: September Week 1
    Weigh in day: Thursday
    Previous Weight: 160.5
    Current Weight: 160.2

    Down slightly...... probably from last night since we went out to dinner for my mom's birthday. I allotted for the dinner calories. I however, did NOT allot for the "pre-dinner" bread, or the white wine sangria (only 1 glass), or the crust of my daughter's pizza..... :D

    Oh well. Still went down! Just have to stay the course and make sure I log everything!

    Track: Yes
    Calories: No (but still tracked!)
    Exercise: Stairs at work.... and I am pretty sure the heat had me sweating off calories just by being in it... hahaha

    Went to dinner and might have over indulged a bit.... It was a birthday celebration. There will be a lot of that this week. Just need to make sure I don't go too far overboard.

    I just need to continue tracking!

    Sorry for being so horribly MIA. It’s been a busy week for us and we left early this morning for the Outer Banks vaca. I completely forgot to weigh in and I’m not sure the beach house will have a scale- and we don’t get home until next Friday. I may have to just sit out for the next couple weeks. Can I jump back in when I get home?

    Hi Team! Happy Thursday!

    Here are my daily stats!
    Daily Post- Thurs 9.5

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes - under!
    Exercise:Yes, 30 min weights, 60 min cardio
    Working on getting to a 1 min plank. I stink at the plank!

    Goals: Going to 2 events tonight. I’ve already eaten dinner - so no alcohol or snacks. I’ll be hydrating with seltzer and lime whilst everyone else imbibes!
    Back to SoulCycle through the week until my weigh in on Saturday! My instructor tomorrow is hardcore- and I’m sitting in the first row- so I’ll need to work!

    @Keri8680 You can just weigh in when you get back, it will be ok, I'll just put in a placeholder for this week.

    @tinak33 It's a bit of work, but it's definitely worth it to track your food!

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes-Under/IF 5/2 fasting day
    Exercise: Morning walk & Gym: Lateral trainer for 45 min & 60min weight training class

    Comments/Goals: Made it through my weight training class!! Didn't think I'd be able to go bc of a bad case of the DOMS, but the walking and lateral trainer loosened me up enough to do it. Today was my second (and last) fasting day of the week...phew. Made it through--dinner was at 5pm and nothing after. Tomorrow is weigh in---but hoping that I am not retaining water from the two one hour weight training sessions that I added this week. Goal is to lose something this week---puuuuuu-leeeeeez! :s:D:D:)

    HAPPY THURSDAAAAAY---and TGIF tomorrowzzz! <3

    How do you do it? You cease to amaze me. Look at you. Remind me to never complain about my little aches and pains. That rower from hell beat me to a pulp last week and I could barely walk straight the next day and had to take the day off. Here you are DOMs and all putting in another monster workout. Kudos to you, Nancy!

    Daily Report Thu 6 Sep

    Tracking: Yes
    Calories: Way Under
    Exercise: No

    Spent most of the day at the Medical University while my grandson had minor surgery getting tubes in his ears. So, no exercise for me today. Missed two days of exercises, not confident about my weigh in tomorrow. However, I have been tweaking my diet, hopefully that has helped. I have never had a gain, so if I break even, I'll be okay with it. Not happy, but okay.
