@MaelynMayhem~ You, my friend had another good day. Yes, that was quite a loss. Hope your Tuesday goes well. Peace be with you.
@ajaia2001~ That’s awesome that you are doing classes. I walk or have MANY DVDs that I can choose from. But it’s spring, so it’s nice to be outside.
@Fitgirllife72~ Are your exercises a class, youtube, or DVD? Inquiring minds, eh hemm, I mean Run Track Minds want to know.
@Tomkinsone~ Sorry to hear your sick. When losing weight and exercising is going so well; it’s tough to swallow the “overall wellness pill.” But, taking care of you is important. If it lasts, maybe try some Yoga or something that isn’t as tough on cardio. !????

Day. I started my day by walking in the park and praying the rosary at the same time. It helped. I didn’t push my Zombies, Run! walk due to fasting. I am done fasting until Good Friday. The day has been good.

Daily Post (Tuesday 4/16)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes; 12 under
Exercise: no.

Daily Goals: ACHIEVED! 3 personal points~ for mindset with morning affirmations and improve my night routine/habits to stop after dinner binges. COMPLETED
Sleep-in, a nice day off. √
Enjoy time w/hubby. √
Grocery shop. √
Played on my computer. √
15 Day streak of no night binges. √ I really, really had to stay focused last night. I so badly wanted to eat. First attempt… I curled up on the couch next to hubby and just relaxed. Then as we got up to go to watch TV in bed, I checked a few things for calorie content. I didn’t have any carbs for dinner. Before I went to bed, I entered a couple of items to see if I’d be “okay.” And I was still under 12 calories. So I went ahead and ate. I was able to somehow keep my cool and not binge! Phew!! Still 100% on track.

@jwall309~ Yep. Sometimes it’s just a day. Way to adjust the mind to have a better attitude. Do you try having a different or new flavor once in a while?

Something simple, like adding curry or cumin or another spice or herb, can help brighten your day. Other ideas are aromatherapy. No need to be all oils and scents. It could be a scented/flavored lip gloss, hand lotion, or lighting a candle. Be sure to use all your senses so that it’s not just our tongue we’re catering too. This also helps distract the mind.

@Claresmith13~ A maintain is “weigh” better than a gain!! And you’re still at a loss for the month, so keep doing it! You got this!

@ajaia2001~ Aaaahhhh! It’s great to get outdoors for a walk, right!? What did your eyes take in and enjoy on your walk? I love hearing the birds.

@MaelynMayhem~ Good for you for recognizing to not overdo it with exercise during a fast. We don’t want you to collapse. Peace be with you. You are doing so great! Appreciate you posting daily.

@Fitgirllife72~ Another great day in the books! You’re doing great!

@twitch82~ Stay positive and keep working your program. Look at the whole picture, for the month of April you haven’t gained. Do what you can to counteract week 2 and bring a loss for week 3. <<hugs>> We’re here to help however we can.

@J0d13mcc~ Wow! Only 800 calories if I’m reading that right. Keep up the good fight.

@johicks I have much more variety in flavor in my food these days in comparison to previous times losing weight, all thanks to my BF! He is Indian, his parents grew up in India, and he grew up eating traditional Indian food, so thanks to him our food is usually heavily spiced with different flavors. I ,on the other hand, grew up with a single working mom (for whom I am eternally grateful) but didn't prioritize cooking, so this is a whole new world for me of spices!

But you are right, I need to find ways to pull me out of a funk that aren't food! I lit a new candle last night, transitioning into spring, fresh scents, and the weather here is steadily getting nicer and warmer, so I think that will also help. Maybe I'll suggest a walk with the BF tonight to try to pull my head out of the fog.

Looks like my next three weekends are going to be very busy. My boyfriend’s sister is coming into town this weekend and will be staying with us for part of their week long vacation. It shall be fun, and I’m going to try my best not to ruin all of my hard work. The weekend of the 26th I have a function to attend. And the weekend after, May 2-5 I am driving down to Florida to see my parents. I will do my best to get my weigh ins done on the next two sundays, not sure about May 5th, the challenge will be over by then and it will be a 13 hour drive home that day. 🤞🤞

Daily Post 4/17 (Wednesday)

Track: yes
Calories: Limit: 1500/Actual 1322
Water: 26 cups
Exercise: Zombies, Run! (Bandits - 39 minutes, walked additional minutes to hit an hour)
Day: I went and say my dietitian today. I was weighed of course, and it was determined I lost 24 pounds in the last month. She was concerned that I might be losing nutrients and lean muscle mass. After we discussed it we agreed that I would add a second snack to my meal plan to raise my calories to maybe slow it down a bit. I added 30 g of walnuts to my daily diet as snacks. I go to a food pantry on Friday so my snack options might change. I confirmed today because I haven't run through all the missions again since downloading again Zombies, Run! the funny radio DJ's that come on after the missions are not coming on. Soooooo, I'm going to go back through them. I did get a Walmart gift card today that should be enough for one pair of shorts before tax; so, next month when I get paid I am going to go and get a couple of new pairs that fit. Almost all my current clothes are falling off of me.
