Daily Post Saturday
Track yes
Calories yes under
Exercise no
Water 165oz
Goals/comments
As you know I need more electrolytes and I finally found a product that I LIKE $20 for 90 servings
It doesn't have any after taste either like regular stevia products do. So I drink one water bottle (73oz) of these a day.
A lot of the ready made drinks and electrolytes powder out there have sucalose, ASPARTAME or some other form of chemical contrived sweeteners that causes side affects.
I AM STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS AND NEED TO FIND WHAT WORKS FOR ME.
I need to look into this product---- I drink Smartwater.... but I'd be interested in a flavored drink like this one since it's Sucralose/artificial sweetener-FREE! Nice find Gloria---thank you much for sharing this with us.0 -

Daily post for Sunday
Track: yes
Calories: nope
Exercise: some walking
Water: about 90 oz
I tracked.... but went over by almost 600 calories.....
I did the whole "eat because I'm bored" thing in the afternoon.... and I ended up snacking on high calorie granola..... It was my downfall. Other than that, I would have been fine.
But it's ok. It wasn't as big of a slip up as it could have been.1 -

Daily check-ins:
Friday
Track: yes
Water: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: yes, 50 minute "training" session - did the strength exercise from an earlier session with my trainer
Saturday
Track: yes (kinda - I tracked most things but I know I missed some)
Water: yes!
Calories: probably right at or a little over
Exercise: not really - just usual weekend housework
Sunday
Track: does it count if I went back and added it all (well, most of it) this morning? again, not 100%
Water: yes
Calories: over
Exercise: no official workout, but lots of movement - stacking chairs, moving pots full of dirt, planting spring plants, etc.
I'm so proud of me! This is the first time I've even kinda-tracked on the weekends in a while! It was probably about 80% accurate, and I'm ok with that. Realistically, for me, weekends are probably going to be about ~80% accurate, or I'm just not going to track at all on the weekends - so I'll take the 80%. Hopefully, if I can just stay on track during the week, the more relaxed weekends won't hurt me too much. But even thought i wasn't as rigid with my eating and tracking on the weekend as I was during the week - it was still much better than recent weekends. And I made sure to get plenty of water - one thing I have really been having trouble with on the weekends!2 -

Daily Post (Sunday, 5/19/19)
Track: No
Calories: Yes. I had calories. How many, I don't know.
Today was a long day. Acutally, so was Saturday. This weekend I was super busy but feel like I got nothing accomplished. Saturday, up at 5:30am - I started my cleaning job early. At 9 I had to get my wife and daughter to moms so they could borrow the car (our van is still down). Then, baseball game at 9:30 (I help coach). Drop him at home at 10:45. Head out to cleaning job number 2. Home at 3. Rest for about an hour. Go pick up wife and daughter, come home, help prepare dinner. 5:30, leave for my best buds bachelor party that starts at 6. Home by 1am.
Sunday, up at 7:30a (got to sleep a little extra). 2 baseball games - one at 10, one at 12. (2 kids play for the same team, different grades). Come home, relax for about an hour, take my daughter to final day of dance competition. 4-8p. Home by 9. Asleep by 9:01.
Oh, and yesterday (Sunday) is the 4 year anniversairy of my dads passing. Guess I kept myself busy so I wouldn't think about it. I miss him. I hope he is proud of the dad I have become.
Happy Monday all! Make it a good one.6 -

Wahoo! Moving in the right direction again (finally!)! I think that actually puts me at a slight loss for the month. I feel like I got re-motivated this past week. And not just a "yeah, I'm gonna do this" type motivation, but a "do I really need that piece of chocolate and is it going to help or hurt my goals" and "go to the gym, even when you don't feel motivated" type of motivation!2 -
Feeling extra stress over family members but spoke to this individual this morning and am excluding them from my circle right now. I am already in danger of binging again and don't need any toxicity to push me over the edge. Each day is hard for me as it is but by His grace which gives me the strength to stay positive so really do not need anyone to push me backwards.
@gjaholy33 - That is AWESOME that you recognize your triggers and can take action to avoid them (or at least minimize contact). Sometimes that are just some people who don't need to be part of our lives.0 -

You sound like you’re a great father, and I’m sure your dad would be very proud 🤗

May: Week #4
Original starting weight: 273
PW: 203.2
CW: 202.1
I was actually at 201.3 yesterday...that was sooo exciting. I am creeping every closer to onederland. It's been a long, long time since I've been there. I think the extra walking I have been doing is helping me to keep up a steadier weight loss.5 -
As part of another challenge I'm a part of, here are my goals for some exercise and meal plans:
Workouts - I plan on going for a 30-40 minute walk on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, along with 10-15 minutes of yoga/stretching after.
Food: my office orders lunch for us from various restaurants which is a great perk, but often leads to overeating/not always picking the healthiest choice. I'm going to plan the week and hopefully be successful 3/5 days.
Monday - I typically try to keep Mondays a low calorie day. I don't have breakfast or lunch, but I will have some almonds (usually measure 25-30g almonds a seving), a banana, and an apple if I get hungry. Dinner will be my leftover balsamic sweet potato, chickpea, and kale bake.
Tuesday - "breakfast" will be coffee with skim and a banana if I'm too hungry from my low calorie day. Lunch will be sushi (California roll and spicy tuna roll). Dinner I'm planning on making a Turkey Spaghetti Squash bake (I'll link the recipe at the bottom of the post - I'll probably change the spices and cheese up a bit). I'll probably have a tangerine while things are cooking. If I have a sweet tooth after dinner, I'll have four small pieces (I think it's 1/6 of the bar?) of Trader Joe's cinnamon chocolate.
Wednesday - breakfast is coffee with skim. Lunch will be a chicken quinoa burrito. If I get hungry after lunch and before dinner, I'll grab an apple. I go to trivia at a local pub on Wednesdays with my boyfriend, and this week I'll either order a full size spinach goat cheese salad *or* a french onion soup with a side spinach/goat cheese salad.
Thursday - breakfast is coffee with skim. Lunch will be roasted broccoli and a quinoa salad (with walnuts and onions). If I'm hungry between lunch/dinner, I'll grab a banana or almonds. Dinner will be leftover turkey/spaghetti squash bake. If I have a sweet tooth, I'll grab a tangerine, and if that doesn't satisfy it, I'll take another four small pieces of the cinnamon chocolate.
Friday - breakfast is coffee with skim. Lunch will be a turkey wrap (with some sort of cheese, probably spinach and roasted peppers). Dinner will be leftover turkey/spaghetti squash. I might make potatoes & onions since I have some that I don't want to go bad.
Posting this here for some extra accountability. My Monday is going pretty well so far!1
