Happy Easter everyone! The kids baskets are driving me nuts today. I gotta remind myself that I don't really love this candy. It's just a bad long time habit of munching on it absent mindedly that I need to break. Hope everyone has a good day!
@Jl20alon2564, very well done!! Not only on the three pounds lost (awesome!!!), but also on realizing that the candy isn't actually all that good and that you don't really want it!! I must say I agree. The little chocolate eggs, unless they are Lindt or something, are quite inferior quality chocolate and really not that good if you stop and taste them, and not just devour them.2 -
Hi everyone! Hope you're all enjoying a lovely Sunday (and Easter activities if you're celebrating)
I got out early on today for my jog. I'm not a weekly challenge poster but thought I'd start posting my "runs" for accountability and extra motivation. Longest one yet of 5k today and going to use that as my bench mark.
@Coral333, a 44 minute 5K is a great speed for just getting back into it!3 -

Exercise: yes, 30 minutes c25k(week 1, day 1) and 30 minutes walking
Was very excited to complete day 1 of C25k today. I used to run a lot during high school, and off and on after graduating. I really want to get back to it, so I started today! Much easier than the first time I tried c25k a few years ago!
I did eat mostly junk today, but managed to stay under. Tomorrow is a new day and am looking forward to being 100% planned out. My GOT challenge started up again today, so I will be making sure to get strength and flex in more(I've been slacking!)
I decided to start C25K again this morning (started it many times before). I don’t really “run”, but seems like moving a little faster than my normal walk makes me feel better and gives me more energy through the day. Hoping I can keep it up this time and maybe even get to week 8

Starting: 181
Week 1 : 181
Week 2: 181
Week 3: 180
Week 4: 184
I'm so frustrated and embarrassed. I know I have been struggling and not paying attention. I'm upset it has taken me so long to get to 180 and then I gained back 4lbs. I had to buy new clothes last week because my pants were falling off if I didn't hold them up. I think I felt like I could relax. I'm going to have to turn this back around because I do not want to go back to my old clothes.4 -
Oh dear. I've gained this week: 171.6.
It's an awful feeling but honestly, I haven't logged whilst i've been away and exercise has been down.
Previously I would have used this little failure as an excuse to really sabotage things but instead, I wanted to remind myself of how far I have come and how much I'm not going to lose all this hard won progress. It's one week out of my whole life. I know how to do this now.

@brandi_84, @lozenger1984
Brandi, meet Laura. Laura, meet Brandi.
I don't have to give you ladies a pep talk because you already gave yourselves one!! To sum up, you have come a long way, you don't want to go back, and you know what to do!! You will both work hard this week to erase last week so that you can go into May with your eyes focused forward on your goal, not looking back on last week's misstep.1 -

@lozenger1984, Laura, that is an incredible before and after. You look amazing!! A very poignant reminder of just how far you have come!!1 -

I can not find my workout motivation lately. I have been to the gym only once in the past week and a half. Thankfully Intermittent Fasting has really kept my diet and calories in check. Still ended the day with 600+ calories left without the gym4 -

Oh man have I been there! I started recruiting everyone I know to tell me that I want to go when I ask them. I have also made "appointments" with friends or even.... my MOM! To meet at the gym at a certain time. It is harder to keep canceling on other people. Eventually they call you out.4 -
Mini challenge
April 22
Tracked yes
Under yes
Exercise yes
3 non scale victories
MY c25k training was stalling out and not working for me so I started a new 6 wk training plan. Running a 5k has become a personal challenge.
Nsv #1- I was able to comfortably start on week 3 of the plan, skipping right past the first 2 weeks.
Nsv #2- I didn't want to do any exercise tonight but felt guilty, so I put on shoes and started to run.... in the rain... in 40°f AND
Nsv #3- I ran my best pace ever!
