    Anyone else have a problem with exercise intimidators? You're all geared up to exercise, your motivation is over the top and all it takes is one look from them to make you want to give up and go home.

    Well my ET comes in the form of a 3.5 foot tall Canadian Goose. He's HUGE. I'm sure his wing span exceeds my height and I've heard they can be pretty mean. When I go for a walk/run by my house he stands right in my path and stares at me. It's a little creepy.

    Lmao. I thought maybe you were going to say Danny until I saw 3.5 foot tall. You need to move to the city. First a raccoon, now a Canada Goose?! That or a suit of armour....think of the additional calorie burn.

    Long overdue check in!

    I was thinking of all the things I was going to say to beat myself up after this out of control long weekend but then I decided to be kind to myself instead. I already know that the weekend was a bust and I didn’t do any of the things I said I would. I can see it, I can feel it and I can do better. So now, moving on.

    I’m with you @Kres567 and @Jactop about the no junk food. I have become a sugar addict again. I have eaten so much ice cream!!!!!

    My three goals for this week (because I feel two isn’t enough)
    1. No junk. Keep away from the sugar!
    2. Drink at least 64 oz of water
    3. Track everything, the good, the bad and the ugly.

    Uggghhh I said that I would be OK with whatever the number was but being up 2 lbs isn't what I thought the scale would say. So, my goal for today is to get over it and move on. I will also get back to tracking this week which I haven't been doing at all. And I will trust the process! :/

    Well not doing that well in the weightloss stakes this month. It feels weird because over the last 6 weeks I have been training a lot. Not really inches difference but firmer, less cellulite etc. So Im trying to look at the positive. I feel like I have been hungrier and way more tired. More stress with uni. However I have just started some HIIT training on top of the regular gym I have been doing and changing up the diet to try and get out of some of the bad habits I have got into over the last two and a half years since study began in 2017. Biggest thing is not being strict w carb intake anymore and sneaking the odd "snack" in on top of meals. I reckon this is the key because I am eating healthy, main meal portion size and calories are fine. Just think the little extras are adding up a bit too much. Snacks or extras are things like crackers, a piece of toast, butter in coffee. Then not having carbs like pasta etc. I had gluten free pasta the other day which prior to putting on weight I never would have done. I wouldve had konjac pasta if I really was craving pasta. When I am at uni I have been having the odd sweet slice, croissant or wrap with chicken etc. Whereas I should be sticking to soups etc ( its winter)

    Hello! Apologies for the radio silence... I've been logging away but it has been an immensely busy week. Whew!

    Had some progress photos taken last night, but my husband was lying down on the couch, so they're from an angle that doesn't really help, grr! They don't show how I'm comfortably back in my light cotton trousers without fear of ripping them or the looseness of my under garments (hoiking those straps in as much as poss!)

    So, I have from the 13th to catch up on. I have been logging everything except water. Take my water as fine, I am sure it has been!

    13th - calories way under, 253 left, 12292 steps
    14th calories slightly under, 15 left, 15377 steps
    15th - calories -134 oh no! 13678 steps
    16th - calories way under, 235 left 10586 steps
    17th - calories -351, oh no, but it was nice pizza, 12405 steps
    18th - calories nicely under, 68 left 13955 steps
    19th - calories way under, 266 left 13009 steps, including 2 and a half hour's gardening.

    That's fantastic!!!! It must feel great to be back in your cotton trousers!!?Great stepping!

    @embersdream whenever I up my training I will always end up heavier because of the workouts, your body holds onto more fluids to repair muscles. If you have had a stress as well that will raise your cortisol levels which will also impact on how you feel, and a makes you hungrier as well as impacting on the glucose in your bloodstream. it will all sort itself out as long as you hanging there! the combination of factors would also explain the weight fluctuation.

    If you want any support or anymore advice on reducing carbs I've been low carb for quite a while now as it suits me (insulin resistance and endurance training).

    Previous: 236.6
    Current: 236.6

    I was down another pound but TOM arrived so no loss or gain....I'll take it. Before, TOM meant a gain of 5-8lbs. I retain a lot less water I'm guessing as bloating is way less of an issue.

    Go Team Slimpossibles! Awesome week!!
