Daily Post (Saturday)
Track: Nope
Calories: Probably not
Exercise: 35 mins weight training, 60 mins treadmill, finished my squats at 84kg, some other things from earlier in the week I didn't finish including pull ups and half handstands.
Daily Post (Sunday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Not sure, I'm looking at adjusting my macros, but I haven't managed to do that today.
Exercise: Yes 60 mins treadmill, 3 hours "spring" cleaning. Almost done with that, yay.
Comments: Recovering from Friday's squat attempt where I dropped the bar on my shoulder blade and trying to take it a little easy and get in some active rest, tomorrow will be back at the weights and I have some yard work I need to do including the grass which I intentionally neglected this week. Got my hair cut today in anticipation of my progress pics this week, which I am thinking I'll do on Friday and maybe take some measurements. Up a little on the scale this week but Aunt Flo and some soreness and inflamation are likely to blame, and I'm not at all upset about it, sometimes you can't control things and in my defense, I did mess up and hurt my shoulder with my failed squat on Friday. So, all things considered, not too bad will just adjust this week and pay closer attention to what I'm doing...
On and side note, I do have a squat rack at home but I decided to squat at the gym, I like when people stare at me lol and I had the same amount of weight on the bar as the guy next to me and he watched me squat and decided to pack up and leave after that, guess I accidentally intimidated him, whoops.

Thanks, it's encouraging. But what's discouraging is I lose weight when I am doing a mess in terms of diet and exercise...
Anyway, I will come back to my track this week and look forward to a gain of muscle and loss of fat which means a gain of weight ^0^.0 -

@OkieGina Sadly, it's not the first time. It's sometimes why I go to the gym, even when I don't need to, you know when my ego needs a little boost, and it really did after Friday's squat attempt lol.3 -
Daily check in for Sunday
Track: only for about half the day
Calories: I'm sure I was over
Exercise: nope
Water: not nearly enough
I almost didn't do my daily check in, because, well, you can see why...I started out great yesterday, really encouraged by my success on Saturday (tracking, etc.). But then my parents got a new puppy, so I went to meet her. And had a couple of beers. And my hubby wanted a carb-y dinner (which sounding amazing) and some Halo Top. And somehow I missed drinking most of my water. I am proud of myself, though. I didn't go hog-wild. The carbs and Halo Top didn't lead to a sweets-binge. I turned down a chocolate chip cookie because i knew there was going to be Halo Top later. Because I'd already had beer (and not nearly enough water), I skipped my usual glass (or 2) of wine in the evening.
Until I started typing that, I didn't actual realize that I was proud of myself. That's the way I want to live - not so regimented in my nutrition plan that I can't splurge a little! I did good last week (nutrition-wise) and even Saturday and part of Sunday. But something came up, I splurged a little, but I didn't beat myself up over it, I didn't let a little splurge turn in to a binge, I made good choices around the splurge, and I'm right back to doing what I'm supposed to do today!4 -

Comments:
I gave up last week with eating well. I was so discouraged and a bit sad that I wouldn't meet my deadline, that I was quite free with my calories once I broke my fast!
This week I'm remembering that my deadline is in 14 days and I can still make positive changes between now and then. Whether I get to their number or not, MY PERSONAL GOAL is still a possibility. I can still make it to 150.
Cheers to getting back on track.

I feel ya! I think this is why I quit setting goals with deadlines for a while. A few weeks ago, I was literally crying to my husband because I've set so many goals that I've never met. And honestly, the goals seemed (and still seem) realistic and attainable to me. I told him that I'm going to keep working and doing what i should, but I'm done with goals with a deadline. He's been encouraging me to keep setting goals, saying something to the effect of "most people don't meet their goals, but the successful ones keep setting them over and over again until the do meet them" (he said it much better than that). That being said, I'm proud of myself for what i have achieved and I'm ready to set goals again. And you should be proud too! You've lost almost 15 pounds!! And you're not giving up! You got this!

June: Week #2
Original starting weight: 273
PW: 197.2
CW: 197.2
Got back from my trip late last night. I had a GREAT time with my neighbors. The hospital tour wasn't as much walking as I had hoped. It was more standing around on hard concrete floors while the tour guide told ghost stories. The rest of the trip was great. We stopped at the New River Gorge Bridge and walked down about 12 flights of steps so we could see the bridge from below. We also toured a glass museum and stopped at an old country town for lunch one day. Loved that cool WV weather.
For the most part I did "ok" with my meals calorie wise....except for Saturday. On Saturday night I had Apple Crisp with ice cream ....after having a fairly healthy dinner. I did log everything i ate this weekend so I owned it. But I don't regret it. I haven't been on a vacation in months so I wanted to really enjoy one dinner. Overall I ate too many carbs this weekend, which might be why I gained 1.8 lbs in 3 days. I hope I can get rid of that quickly and get back in the loss column next week.3 -

I'm determined to lose those "extra" 8-9 pounds that showed upon my new digital scale after switching from a dial scale. Much to my happy surprise this morning I was down 2 lbs from Saturday. I still have this awful itchy rash on my face which is driving me bonkers. On the plus side, I'm just not that hungry because it's so distracting. Looking on the bright side!0 -
