Ok, so I know I have a loss from last week... but its funny because yesterday morning I was 150.1. And then Mexican food plus cookies happened.
I love that it's a loss, but still I was SOOOO CLOSE to the 140s!!!
I really should just stop having a date night on Wednesdays.... lol3 -
@DeshotelK - haha Thank you, I lose that battle often. I say to myself I am still under my calories with it or some other excuse. I am trying to eliminate excuses and continue my downward trend.
@AB0215 @digger61 - Thank you!

Daily Post: For Wednesday May 8
⚡Track: Yes ( including the piece of baskin robbins ice cream cake for my husbands birthday. I ate 49 grams
⚡Calories: Over
⚡Exercise: ( I practiced my Turbo kick routine in the morning, did 22 min of cardio at lunch and then did my 60 min fitness class in the evening. So I don't feel bad about the extra carbs I did have)
Haven't lost much this week so far. But happy to maintain despite my period slowing things down. Hopefully I've lost since inches despite the scale. The pants Im trying to fit into have moved up my thighs and may soon slip over my hips

Today sucked. I felt like crap all day. Saw my doctor and she said im drinking too much water for my body and going into Hyponatremia(low blood sodium) she only wants me to drink at most 70oz a day. She's running more tests to see the reason this is happening.
And I thought water was good for me? 😩😩😩
@cydneebauman It is good for you. Sodium is also necessary, there's probably a reason you're having these issues and barring a medical condition underlying, it's possible you may just need to increase your sodium intake. I had to. I don't consume carbs which help you retain water and also sodium so in my case it's as simple as increasing my intake. And I can tell when I haven't had enough, I feel like crap.
What are some of the things you feel when you don't have enough sodium??0 -

I've been working on increasing my height on box jumps and today I hit 30 inches, and that sort of shocks me considering I'm 58 inches tall....that's more than half my height...
Keep pushing, you WILL hit your goals!!
Holy crap Ash!!😳✨🙌😝💥 that's awesome--- I watch people doing box jumping at my gym and I am in awe of their ability--it defies gravity---I could never do that without it becoming one of those "GYM FAIL" videos😂😂🤣 Not a good move for me😆🤣1 -

I know it's all in my head, but for some reason this go around, I can't find that groove. Perhaps I should go back to eating 3 meals a day, just less calories each meal. I really liked IF, but if it's not working, I don't want to keep torturing myself.
Jason--- it took me soooo long to get into IF again after stopping, especially 5:2 (which I am now struggling with again)... I think when stressed, like you are with your super busy schedule ...it's so hard to get control bc your schedule probably feels so out of control as you are so very busy with your jobs and your family. Have to give you major credit for maintaining where you are now during all of that---- it's very hard to juggle it all (I can imagine).
You make me think of my son's friend---he is the oldest of 10 kids... when I first met his Mom, I said "WOW, I don't know how you do it with 10 kids, I am feeling outnumbered by my 2".... and she snapped at me "10 is no different than 2!!" 😳😳😳UMMMM--- WHAT?? I was like, lady--- you drive a bus full of children--- don't tell me that isn't harder than 2!!! 🙄😏
Having a large family is such a major blessing❤️--- and it is the hardest job in the world as well...
Keep going Jason--- the summer is coming and hopefully some of those kid extra circulars will slow down a bit. Hang in there my friend--- you are a spectacular parent!!🙌💫🤗1 -
I stared at a bag of chips in the pantry last night for longer than I would like to admit at 930pm last night. I held out and went to bed without them. No snack food regrets for me on Wednesday!
😂🤣 this made me laugh--- how many times I have done the pantry stare down with foods I long for!!!😣🤦🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️😂0 -

What are some of the things you feel when you don't have enough sodium??
@aadubb Super low energy and headaches that won't go away for anything. Almost flu like...
And it's something that happens to a lot of people really easily when you're eating low carb, carbs help you retain sodium and if you're eating low carb you don't hold sodium the same way, it flushes much easier so it's much easier to become deficient in it, although anyone can become deficient in it, and everyone's needs are a bit different, you'd probably be extremely surprised at the amount of sodium I consume in a day.
Also working out can help to deplete sodium levels as well, so that's something to think about as well.
For me, I both eat super low carb and workout 1-2.5 hours a day so I burn through my sodium...and need more.1 -

@SLIMn2016 I should take pictures of my legs, the failed attempts are proof that I work hard at it, the bruises are for real, 30 inches is extremely hard for me right now, 26-28 inches is pretty comfortable, 30 inches is where I'm trying to get to be able to do consistently, it's a sign of the power I can generate and something that I use a lot in weight lifting...which is why I do them.2 -

Morning team 👋🏻
Just thought I’d share my NSV for today. I started out with the following measurements:
23 February 2019
Chest: 41in
Waist: 36.5in
Hips: 45.5in
Thighs: 25in
Current measurements
Chest: 39in (2 inch loss)
Waist: 32in (4.5 inch loss)
Hips: 42in (3.5 inch loss)
Thighs: 24in (1 inch loss)
Also, when I first started out in February this year, my body fat percentage was at 34% but is now at 31% which is good! I just need to keep going 💪

Another long day. I think once school is over, I will be able to make some changes. Right now I get up at 6:30am to start getting people up and take my oldest to school. I don't have to be at work until 9a. So, if I continue getting up at the normal time, I can do my walks in the morning, come home, shower, and then head out.
I agree with @o0kody0o and @AB0215. Right now I should probably focus on my food. Then once school is out, add the walking/exercise component. @CindyJNC1963, I appreciate the encouragement.
Prior, I did intermittent fasting. I have been trying this time as well, but am finding it super hard. Almost like I am famished all the time. I know it's all in my head, but for some reason this go around, I can't find that groove. Perhaps I should go back to eating 3 meals a day, just less calories each meal. I really liked IF, but if it's not working, I don't want to keep torturing myself.
Anywho, have a wonderful day people. Sorry my posts are a day behind, lol. I am just so worn out when I get home. May you accomplish all your goals today my friends!
When I first started my new way of eating I just focus on my food and made a plan to eat my last meal at 6pm and then I made an herbal ice tea to keep beside me for when those cravings start after 6pm and that's what help me to unconsciously start fasting.
So you need to find what works for you and then go with that. I find being in sync with yourself during any new Lifestyle change makes it easier. Wishing you the best 💪🏽👌🏾👍🏾😍0 -

Goals/comments Did okay this week slow and steady. Still wish for 3lbs more but happy I didn't gain. My medical doctor is still in shock how much I lost since I was there last month 25lb lost in a month she said is a lot. I told her when most of your days is under 800 cal it's not that unbelievable plus I've been delivered from that gluttony spirit which she didn't understand but I do that's all that matter. I serve an awesome God and all I do each morning is put my trust in Him and I know I'll get through the day okay, which has led to my new found success.4 -

Track yes
Calories yes wayyyyy under
Exercise yes 25 minutes walking
Water 100oz sooooo not good
Goals/comments
Even in my pain I still went and visit 2 food pantries one of them have fresh spinach, red potatoes and kale.
The spinach and kale will be good for my protein shakes as I had to result to using broccoli this week in my shake but it's not bad, actually.
They tried giving me other products but anything not conducive to my lifestyle change I was not willing to take like jelly OMG that'll definitely bring on those sugar cravings (not saying I'll never eat it again but not right now) oh and I got to big bags of walnuts (you know how expensive walnuts are right)
So today was a good day besides the pain, I just don't understand what's going on with my right side can't even hold my phone we'll see what happens at PT today.
STILL STAYING POSITIVE REGARDLESS3 -

@digger61 Thank you. My weight seems to be stuck and I think it is due to my energy level. My trainer has adjusted my eating plan to see if that helps. Some days I want to eat and some days I have no interest In food at all. Yesterday all I wanted was fruit or anything cold (frozen fruit). Hopefully this will pass quickley ans i can get back on track.0
