Day/Weight/Comment

10/15 176.2 A long evening walk with my son to end the day. 14 days in a row we've gone for a walk together!
10/16 176.2 My son headed out with a friend yesterday so I went for a walk by myself - it was chilly so I didn't stay out long. Started today with a workout.
10/17 176.2 Was really hoping for a loss today. I ate under calories yesterday and did an 8 mile walk with my son on top of my morning work-out. Today will be mostly a rest day - I am wiped and will need to be mindful to avoid zombie eating.
10/18 176.4 just can't seem to shake this 176.
10/19 179 Did not want to weigh in this morning - I knew I blew it yesterday - I had to work an extra five hours at the end of the day, I was tired and feeling sorry for myself. Had szechuan noodles and cookies for very late dinner . Didn't want to track it - but I went back and made my best estimate. Even using exercise calories I was more than 1000 calories over!!
10/20 177.4 It was a struggle to stay on track yesterday, but no other option really, a second day of self-indulgence would have been a real motivation killer. I wonder why it is that I can handle lots of discomforts, headaches, sore knees, etc, but hunger and to a lesser extent tiredness make me restless and unhappy and I feel driven to shut them down as fast as possible and d@mn the consequences.
10/21 176.2 For a second the scale flashed 175.8 - maybe before the end of the round I can make that real.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/15 DNW Vacation
10/16--220.4 I'm back from my vacation! Considering how little water I drank and the amount of food I ate during my 10 day vacation I am estatic that my scale showed an increase of less than 5 lbs. Of course when I attempted to weigh my food this morning on my food scale the scale showed a low battery so I couldn't weigh my food. I have the day off today, so this morning is a massage, I need it from all of the walking I did on the trip, and possibly Zumba later tonight. I will probably take the dog out for a longer walk this afternoon since it is going to be a great sunny fall day today.
10/17--220.6 Tired. I also feel like I have a cold coming on. I am very glad that I was able to get right back to my food logging after my trip. Goal today is to get my water in.
10/18--220.9 Don't know why the scale is going up I can only think that it is due to my body trying to fight this cold off and post vacation eating fluctations. Slept for 9 hours last night and could have slept for more. I will just stay focused with my eating and stay hydrated. Yoga tonight.
10/19--220.6 Yoga was great last night. I decided to take advantage of the free pass at the gym, so I went there after yoga. Lifted some weighs and swung some kettlebells. Gym was really nice and there was no hard sell to buy a membership. I have two more free visits. It was nice to wake up a little sore this morning. Still a little tired, but I think I have stopped the cold. Working on my water again today.
10/20--220.2 Still tired, still not feeling 100%. Was thinking about going to see a movie tonight, but will probably stay home and just rest. Working on water today.
10/21--220.2. Still holding steady. I have been expecting to see a drop, but it hasn't happened yet, so I'm just going to keep doing what I have to do and wait for the scale to follow. Feeling more rested...already went to the gym this morning and did some weightlifting. Going out for lunch today.
10/22--221.7 Lunch, dessert, and very little water. Add in soreness from weightlifting and that explains the weight gain. Back on track today.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15- 184.2- good thing this went back down. Weekend didn't go as well as it could have to be honest but I packed a really healthy lunch today and the day has been good so far! Will go to the gym to workout later in the day after my class. I'm a little behind on biochemistry due to my biology exam last week so will be catching up on that today until class starts.

10/16- 184.4- Not upset over this. I think it will be better tomorrow. I worked out yesterday. Won't be able to today. Have a lot of studying to do today.

10/17- 184.0- Yay. Hopefully I'll be 183.something tomorrow? I've been eating on the higher range of my calorie goal this past week so I'm going to try to eat on the lower side today and get a bunch studying done. So far so good.

10/18- 184.6- lol omg.

10/19- 185.0- okay. No. We're not doing this. I know the scale will probably be even higher tomorrow as well so I'm anticipating that but starting tomorrow we're going back to the previous week's meals because those gave me much better results. We're trying to get to at least 182. Here we go!

10/20- 186.0- It's okay. We're back to business today even though it's Saturday lol
10/21- 185.7- This will go down more tomorrow. I'm sure of it.

🕷10/20🕸 149.2 im glad that I am here and can have a mini celebration dedicated to my new number 😄😄😄 Yesterday I wasn't as hungry but I feel, once again, super hungry today. I will just have to mindful about what I eat. Yesterday was a crazy work out day and i had 2 liters of water. Today is girls days with my MIL and SILs, were are going to the movies and I already know that I won't have to worry about the popcorn but the treats on the other hand...might be a little more difficult. Been having cravings for chocolate and I am trying to ignore them and replace those cravings with real food...which has worked so far. My TOM is next weekend so after watching that video @MultoMundoMonkey posted, I am going to start paying attention to cravings and try to have less carbs during this time frame. I'm glad I watched that video, it will now make me feel a little more in control and know what to expect

🎭10/21🎃 149.8 so yesterday I had written about being mindful and staying away from popcorn and treats...that didn't happen. I am not the biggest popcorn fan so I was pretty confident, at first...but it was as if the minute I started eating I couldn't stop...and that kept going on and on and on for the rest of the day. I was able to exercise as well though, so everything was tracked and under but my exercise calories were definitley all eaten up and although I had a +20 I still managed to eat over 1800. I decided to check my due date on a cycle calender I have for TOM and once again I made a mistake. I thought it was due next weekend but it's actually due on Tuesday...so that explains my over eating, hunger all week long and crazy cravings. I am used to getting cravings before hand, happens every month but the day of the week always changes, it can happen a week before or two days before but it's never consistent. So I am taking the gain in stride, jumping on the horse again today and going for it.

(You can stop reading here if you would like cause here comes a mini rant..you can read it if you want but it's more for me)

I need to get my mind set in shape. I have always written and told people you need to get your head on straight and healthy along with your body, don't neglect it or else it will have an effect on your longevity and your will power. Every week I write how pleased I am about my eating but then also write I could have done better with exercise...while this week I have been proud of my exercise but not my eating. I am getting tired of being a self-nag. I need to be proud period. Positivity has always been hard for me (a self nagging perfectionist who is also a pessimist) and it wasnt until the beginning of this year, with difficulty I wanted to switch that around. Change all negatives to positive. I start off well enough but then drown again, have to remind myself, get back on, stick to it ...and then drown again. In the past I have battled with severe depression so every day is still a constant battle to give myself a break mentally. And here I go again trying to remind myself to be greatful for my full body, my ability to be a functioning, mobile healthy 28 year old and to thank God for all the privileges I have in life..no more I could have done better or I could have pushed harder or I could have gone another mile..from now on I am greatful I was capable of accomplishing what I have accomplished today, I am greatful I am healthy enough to have pushed myself as hard and I am greatful I am able to take those first steps and every step afterwards. I am going to start to be as mindful about my thoughts as I am about my eating and as mindful as I would be towards my form while exercising and the minutes I put in. This journey is about getting healthy, not just telling myself I am..but actually being it. For those still reading, it will never matter how much you loose or how fit you become if you don't fix your mentality, can't stress this enough, because if you don't you will never really be happy about your results...you will forever be stuck in the body you began your journey in and never break free.
