@HASWLRS Can you please roll my weight over for this week? I still have a stomach bug or something and haven't weighed in. Sorry I've missed the weigh in this week!
@cmhubbard92, that's fine, Christine. Thanks for letting me know. I hope you feel better very soon.lozenger1984 wrote: »Sometimes listing my motivations helps me stay on track. Here’s my current things.
1. I’m running a 10k in October, just before I turn 35. I’m running it in the place I hit my highest weight and could barely walk up the hills. I want to run the whole thing (don’t mind about time).
2. I’ve bought a dress for a friends wedding in September which is a teeny bit small. It’s back in my home town (haven’t been there for 7 years) and the vain bit of me is keen to look good.
3. I want to not only get my black belt but do well getting it.
4. I want to do a pull up (just one!)
I know the way to do this is to keep an eye on nutrition (meal plan, prep, track) and keep setting achievable goals for the gym and running.
Next couple of days food -Mexican black bean salad (spicy black beans, sweet corn, lettuce, red peppers), home grown chard and butter bean soup.
Tonight a 5k run, taekwondo on Friday, park run (5k on Saturday)
@lozenger1984, oh my gosh, these are awesome goals, and so achievable with a solid plan and a strong work ethic, (which you have in spades)! And your Mexican salad sounds so good!!0 -

Don't mind me I'm over here just reminding myself that I'm not 195 anymore. Progress, y'all.
Also naps are underrated. You all deserve a nice nap.3 -

@annabananamc, great word! (I am wondering if the young ones here have ever even heard of it before?) But most importantly, great job on LOSING in the midst of a move! You are tracking your food, and you are moving and counting those exercise calories, and each day you end up "under" so your numbers must be accurate. It just goes to show you, for weight loss, you can eat anything. For nutrition, now, that's another story!0 -

Still trying to keep my head above water. Mom is still in hospital, kiddo #2 home but packing for college return this weekend, kiddo #3 needs driving time in #2 car so he can test before car is gone, work was crazy, and I am still pulling most night shifts and eating fast food and sporatic foods and sleep is insanely inconsistent. I did get through puppy sitting weekend for #1 and #2 skydiving (my hairdresser is needed asap for this root issue!🤪) so I cant be too unhappy with my gain.. was hoping it wasnt any hit but was expecting a couple lbs so taking this and hoping someone above is helping my sanity by keeping the scale friendly!
Sorry I havent been on here much but cant wait to get to be here more and thanks to all for letting me "hang out in the background" until then!

@sandkp, sounds super hectic in your household right now, so only up point four is a huge win!! Just do the best that you can, and you know what they say...."this too shall pass!" We hope your mom is getting better (hugs).0 -

@stubbornloser, you had such a big loss last week, Kim, that a little "up" this week is not unheard of. You are still down four point pour for the month, so don't despair....just keep plugging away, and the scales will respond soon enough!0 -
Thursday weigh-in
Last week 126.8
Today 127.8
It could have been worse - I was 129.8 a couple of days ago. I had my long bike ride on the week-end and was happy I finished in the alloted time. Unfortunately I figured it gave me a license to eat whatever I wanted the day before, the day of, and the day after the ride. The scale proved me wrong. I guess it was wishful thinking.
I'm looking at how well some people in this group are doing even with many stressors happening in their lives and I have no excuses. You guys are awesome! Not long ago I was at 125. I need to focus!1 -
Wednesday Mini Challenge
Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: 1 hour walk
I was fortunate my calories were low during the day - I had too much snacking in the evening.1
