Upset about being up, but I knew it was going to happen.2 -
Wow, everyone is so transparent! I love it! I love this outlet to express my feelings.
Yes, I have emotional eating towards (my hubby) too at times @johicks.
Thank you for the tips too @jwall309. Sometimes I call myself lazy inappropriately too. Then when I look in retrospect I noticed I have did alot to validate feeling exhausted. I might have worked two 12 hours in a row and then cleaned up all day on my off day, so that's not really an off day. I think we just think we should be Superwomen, but sometimes every needs to relax. I think we should say we are exhausted from working are butts off. Lazy means unwilling to work or use energy, so we are Superwomen and that does not describe us!

Monday 4/01/2019
Track: Yes, Everything
Calories: Yes,
Exercise: Yes, I stayed active all day. I did a work out tape before work and did a quick one at my desk at work. I got 12 K today and my normal goal is 10 K.

Monday 4/01/2019
Track: Yes, Everything
Calories: 1550 - GOAL 1334 -FOOD 152 - EXERCISE 1183 NET
Exercise: Yes, I did 4.00KM walking today. Not been too well but stayed active following a hospital admission last week. My goal is to at least walk everyday (at least 3KM if I can) and if I'm feeling well enough bump that to a run. Today, i ran for a short time but it was mostly walking. I'm aiming to lose a KG a week and so far its been working but the exercise has really slowed this week which is frustrating.
Goals or Day: I got some work done, drank plenty of water - about 4000ml, and got a brisk walk in.2 -
@RileyHeavy welcome. 😄 Best of luck to you on your goals for nursing and CNM.0

Tuesday 4/02/19
Track: Yes
Calories: Goal 1500, Actual 1242
Exercise: Yes. I walked out in the park in the sun, another episode of Zombies, Run! completed. I might walk some more later around the community room, might not or just watch TV and walk during commercials.2 -
@RileyHeavy ~ Hi Riley. Welcome! I love that your conscience about not giving advice w/o along the walk. And when you reach goal weight. You can relate to them about the struggle. Kudos! You can do it! And if I read your post correctly, you lost and then maintained for over a year. That's pretty awesome.
@JamieD328~ Don't beat yourself up too much. Even when we know what to do, it's not always easy. We’re here for you. Be like Taylor Swift and SHAKE IT OFF! If you like her, you tube it and dance it off to that song. Regroup.
@Toyota100~ Great Monday & being mindful of what you're eating.
@j0d13mcc~ Awesome Monday & exercising. Keep going!
@MaelynMayhem~ Good daily post. I've found another way to add spurts of exercise, besides walking in place on commercials. When I put the laundry away, I take one piece out of the dryer and go put it away. Piece by piece.2 -

@Tomkinsone ~ Did you dance around while dusting & vacuuming? Lol. Enjoy grandson!! Thanks for encouragingly words.
@ajaia2001 ~ Kick some BOOTy! Good for you for making the choice to do it, versus what you "felt" like doing. I've been told that's the difference between motivation and determination.3 -

Daily: Monday 4/01/2019 (forgot to post this yesterday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over my goal
Exercise: Yes, I went to three aqua classes since it was a holiday. Got over 16000 steps.
Goals or Day: After 7 months on the Optifast program, I am still not consistent with daily tracking. My goal is to focus on capturing my food, water, and exercise this month.
Tip: I use elastic hair ponies to track my water. I wrap the hair ponies on the bottom of my water bottle in the morning and move one up each time I complete a bottle. It has really helped with monitoring my water but I still don’t drink enough.2 -
Daily: Tuesday 4/02/2019
Track: Yes
Calories: Over my goal
Exercise: No. Sore from yesterday’s workout. Did a few yoga stretches.
Goals or Day: Continued tracking. It is amazing how quickly the calories add up. I lost 25 pounds in 2018 between August and November. I am realizing that even though my habits have improved, the calories add up quickly which explains why I have not lost any weight since November.
Thank you to everyone who is organizing and participating in this challenge. I can already tell that it is a supportive group with lots of sharing and encouragement. I think the daily postings will help, even though I find tracking very difficult.3 -
Happy Wednesday all!! How is everyone's week going so far? It's been a rough one for me. My son's sick with the flu and we are getting even less sleep than normal, so we're both grumpy and whiny! My eating is horrible when I'm tired too, it's like I'm constantly eating to stay awake
Really hoping this is a short flu! 2 -
Daily: Wednesday April 3
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: No
Goals or Day: Scale hasn't moved in 4 days. It gets a little frustrating when that happens, but I know it'll change soon. Feels good to have lost the weight I have so far.

Daily Post Tuesday
Track: Yes
Calories: Over, fell for the old trap of grabbing a pre-made to go salad that had way more calories than I anticipated.
Exercise: No
Goals: Scale has really been moving down this week, which I'm going to use as motivation to make smart choices in San Francisco this weekend. Instead of eating all the things, I will do my best to just eat some of the things. A little pre vacation test tonight as BF and I are going to see the Japanese Cherry Blossoms blooming and then out to dinner and he wants Shake Shack I'm going to make a plan of attack for Shake Shack this afternoon so I can minimize negative impacts. Wish me luck! 3 -
Tuesday 4/02/2019
Track: Yes, Everything
Calories: Yes, I even got a JR Frosty and it was great! For dinner I had 1 Chicken Gordita.
I was able to add some of my pleasures, but in moderation. I was full throughout the day too. I didn't feel food deprived and depressed. I stuck within my calories too!!!!
Exercise: Yes, got on the treadmill for 30 minutes before work. I didn't reach my 10K Fitbit goal, but that's ok!!!!
Goals or Day: Mood was pretty good. Didn't feel down today. No mindless eating. This was my 3rd day tracking. My goal is 7 days, so I'm half way there!!!

I found one in Oak brook, IL. Gosh I get my bras from the Oak Brook mall. Yes, I'm going. Not right now, but it's on my buck list. I'm not telling my husband, he will be ready to go this weekend.

I hate when the scale won’t budge for several days. I have about 4 days where it won’t budge during my period and about 7 days where it won’t budge (or slightly goes up) around the time I am ovulating. Even though it eventually moves I know it is so annoying!!!!Daily: Wednesday April 3

Wow! Never heard of Shake Shake. It must not be in my area. I'm definitely going to Google the closest one though to go in the future!!!! @jwall309
So I have never heard of Shake Shack either and so I looked it up with your link and sure enough there is one near me also. Let us know how it is and I may take a short drive soon 😀

@Toyota100 and @Fitgirllife72 Shake Shack is delicious and there are several in the D.C. area, where I live. I highly recommend the cheese fries if you go! Everything there is good honestly, but its definitely a treat meal, or a meal where you really have to budget the calories for it carefully! It is still worth it though!
@Fitgirllife72 oh thats awesome! My BF went to UC Berkeley so he's excited to visit with some college friends. I have never been to California or the West Coast so I am very excited!2 -

Track: Yes
Calories: Goal: 1500/Actual: 1179
Exercise: Week 1, Day 2 of Zombies, Run! couch to 5K training, going to walk back and forth in apartment during commercials.
@johicks - I don't walk in place. I walk from my window to my front door and back; it's not a long walk (about 24 steps round trip), but it helps. I might try the laundry thing. It'd be from my basket to the dresser, but I can put it on the table in the living room instead. I'm on the fourth floor and the the laundry room for the tenants is on the first.1 -

Track: Yes
Calories: Yes; goal 1370, food 1049, exercise 91, remaining 412
Exercise: yes, ab workout
Goals or Day: today was a good day taking care of my grandson. He wears me out. That should be a full day of exercise, all the lifting and carrying. Lol I missed lunch time due to feeding my GS then it was almost time for my mid afternoon snack. Had a quick protein shake and then had my dinner, so my calorie count was way low. Otherwise my spirits are good and I feel good.1 -

10m ab-doer

Planned, logged, and packed dinner to take to mom’s: chicken soup from freezer and salad. After I did her ab-doer, we sat and ate dinner mindfully at the table. Then laughed and laughed about nothing. I planned my day well enough to have air-popped popcorn while watching Survivor. Now the KITCHEN IS CLOSED. Teeth brushed. And in bed. No reading, just off to bed, lights out. Slumber well my friends. I will catch up.tomorrow.
