I'm not sure I'll continue with the challenge....or maybe I can just check in. Just found out that I'm pregnant.
Goals:
-Drink all 8 cups of water each day
-Remember to take my vitamins
-Watch my sugar intake
@inmylife1979 Congrats! And feel free to continue with us if you'd like, we do have a cheer squad!
Thank you! I'm going to keep on weighing in on Mondays to hopefully keep myself in the best possible shape. I'd love to be on the cheer squad!0 -

Congrats I know this os a major change but the door is open whatecer you decide. The other option is to be part of our Cheer squad if you want the motivation but not have your weight counted right now.
Thank you! Yes, the cheer squad would be great!0 -
Daily post for Sunday....
Track: some
Calories: nope
Exercise: short walk outside
Water: maybe 100 oz?
I barely tracked, I went over in calories, I went through a day of "I don't care".
It sucks, because I DO care. And when I got on the scale this morning I was kicking myself. Why do I do this?! Almost every weekend.....
Its frustrating. And I do it to myself. No one else to blame.
Ok, well, I have this week to get on track and get back to logging everything, getting my squats in, and getting my water intake back up.
You got this!momma3times wrote: Β»Week 2 weighin

I am happy with another loss this week. I didn't get as many regular workouts in as I wanted, but I did get some outside walks in which helps me more mentally and physically. I require sunshine to regulate my mental state I think.
Hoping for some more warm spring days this week. They are just starting to happen here.
My NSV this week - I worked out in gym shorts 3 times and 1 time was in public. I haven't worn shorts above my knees out of my house in probably a decade. Then I never have been able to workout in them because of thighs rubbing. I don't have that rubbing anymore and I am trying to get over my fear of showing my legs in public.
Awesome loss. And great NSV0 -

Fellow Slimsons I need help. How do you manage busy weekends and family celebrations that revolve around food? I did not log in this weekend. Saturday we were at the ballpark most of the day and then celebrated my parents 45th anniversary. Yesterday, we were at the school fair all day. Lots of high calorie food everywhere. I knew I wouldn't be able to track or stay under my calories and no time for a workout so I just ate. Today I feel absolutely horrible. I'm bloated and have no energy. What are some tips and tricks that you use to stay on track?
This group is such a great support. And yes knowing we all have similar struggles helps me too.CourtneyLomonaco wrote: Β»Daily Post (Sunday)

Have to get out of this funk. Hoping to stay strong this week with my eating.
I'm feeling the same way. I feel like I just can't get a handle on it. I'm glad for this group though. It's comforting to know there are others with struggles similar to my own and we can all be here to help each other out along the way.

Down some pounds! Some of it is water weight/bloating from the last of MTOTM, but I was more active and I tracked what I ate most days. So it's a good start!

Exercise: 13,500 steps (5.4 miles) I went on a 3 mile walk early this morning and a shorter walk in the evening. I also moved furniture in the den to make room for my new treadmill that's arriving Tuesday. I've noticed that I'm starting to have pain in my left hip. The treadmill has a flex deck, which should help with my joints. I've given up on the idea of squats and stairs for now.
@CindyJNC1963 The pain in your hip can actually be caused by walking, it happened to me when I first started walking a lot late at the end of 2017, had to go through 3 months of physical therapy/rehab and then build back into literally everything...weight lifting and then I built back into walking....but now I know how to avoid it, so that helps.
Stretching daily and working on my mobility is the only way I avoid the hip issues.
I was wondering about that too. I was just looking at hip flexibility exercises. It's not too bad yet so I want to get started with that before I need to go to PT. I notice it the most after one of my long walks.0 -

Walking can mess up my hips quite a bit too! I'm getting back into yoga (great way to start the morning), and I noticed how tight my hips have gotten. Pigeon pose and lunge stretches have been great for me.0 -

Apologies havenβt done a weigh in yet. Have no scales at home and trying to muster enough motivation to go to the gym.
Turned 49 on Sunday and it started ok. Did a 5 mile race which I really enjoyed but then went down hill. Spent most of the rest of the day sitting at home alone feeling sorry for myself and comfort eating. Such a vicious circle and itβs starting to worry me now.
I really want to do this and get my head back in the game but itβs hard to get motivated when you feel this way. I really must sort myself out.
Sorry for the woe is me post. Iβll start again tomorrow and kick myself up the butt. Youβre all doing great and I wish I could get motivated. Maybe tomorrow .....4 -

I myself have just started getting my motivation back. (March was a tough month for me). All I can say is that you will get there. Sometimes itβs not that easy. And you are right- itβs a vicious cycle hard to get out of sometimes. But remember you are worth this. Be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself for getting off track. Itβs ok. We are here for you. Let us know what you need. Hugs.Apologies havenβt done a weigh in yet. Have no scales at home and trying to muster enough motivation to go to the gym.

Tracked yes

Exercise no.
I was feeling a bit tired and had a slight headache (allergies probably-the pollen is ridiculous ) after work today to get to the gym or go running so I have given myself a pass today. I go back to this nutritionist tomorrow. I had 3 goals to accomplish in this month since I went last and have not met any of them. But I am going to face the music and I have recently been refocused. So hereβs to a better month. Lol.
Hope you all have a wonderful evening.5 -

Goals/comments
I have to tell you we tend to take certain things for granted until we're no longer able to do for ourselves. My new NSV: (this is a bit T.M.I but sharing any way cause I'm proud of my progress) As you know I've now been able to fix breakfast for myself for the last few days (with exception one day took my pain meds it had me so drowsy couldn't function so I stayed out the kitchen. . .lol) Well today I had my PT appt and instead of waiting for my aide I was able to take my own shower without any help reaching all the hard to reach areas and lotion and dress myself for the post part, still need help with shoes and socks. But small and steady progress equals to big progress.
Other than than today was okay, had my PT sessions today so brought my snacks and lunch. My PT was very excited for me as I am moving faster, yay. She had ne on the Boke elliptical mach I did 6 minutes today 1 minute more than last week. ππΎππΎππΎBut may have to have talk with the massage therapist as every time he finishes my back is hurting so bad today I could barely walk so maybe he could do it softer?? Had my aide rub some BIOFREEZE ate dinner and took my pain meds after she left at 5pm doze off bland now feel so much better. Thank God.
So all in all today was a productive day for me although the small discomfort but I have no regrets since I'm making progress.
GOOD NIGHTππ. .TOMORROW'S ANOTHER DAY STILL STAYING POSITIVE β€9 -

Sometimes it is hard to face the music but once we do we find more support for our progress and even little ideas on the changes we need to incorporate. So I am sure you're going to have an awesome session with your nutritionist especially now you're determined to be focus.0
