DISCARD 5 LBS CHALLENGE

SW: 183.4
GW: 178.4
CW: 182.8
WL: 0oz
Yesterday was nice. I went on a walk with my Mom. We had a good time. Whenever we get together we chat like magpies (is that the right term? Lol). I finally heard back from the woman about the phone interview late in the afternoon yesterday but my phone wasn't charged and I was heading out the door. I'm not one to call someone 10 minutes before they're due to leave for the day. I *hated* when people did that to me at the bank so I called her back this morning. We had a nice chat and she's going to forward my intake to her office manager and she'll send me an application and schedule an interview. Woohoo! So we'll see about that.
The other super exciting thing that happened was I finished my outline for my new story!! It was the first time I've ever done a full length book outline. AND I wrote the first chapter last night too. I'm really excited to keep going. Lol. I told myself a month ago that I would finish the darn outline before school started again and I did it!! I'm so proud of myself! Now I want to see how many chapters I can get finished before Wednesday.
Okay! Onto goals!

JFT Thursday Afternoon and on
- More training
- Take S to Doctor & pick up lunch
- home by 5:30
- rest
- dinner, hubby is cooking Well hubby brought home pizza
- Bible reading
- bed by 10:00
JFT Friday Morning
- CrossFit at 5:30
- Work by 8:30 8:10
- 2 bottles of water before soda
- protein bar and fruit for breakfast
just protein bar
Well, I managed to get up at 4:15 and make it to CrossFit by 5:30, really I got there way early. Means next time I can sleep until 4:30. Yes I said next time. It kicked my *kitten*, but the expectations were realistic and the people were very encouraging even when I had to lower my weight on the farmer carry. It was nice going to a gym where nobody knew me, where nobody had expectations for me and where the only person who I could disappoint is myself. Every where else I have worked out or ridden there are people who want me to join them just not understanding that I can't keep up right now. I'll see how I do at getting up for a week or two before I join. It's $13/class or $125/month. If I really go 3 x week, the membership is the way to go, but I'm afraid I'll quit again... The membership fee is too high to just not go. Maybe that would be incentive to keep going?? Anyway for now I'm excited by it.
JFT Friday after 9:00
- Get testing started:)
- maybe skip 4 hour meeting Went to 3 hrs
- lunch <400 cal
- countdown hours to leave
- finish testing
- home by 5:00 (maybe earlier)

Yesterday I was at 188.6, but if the challenge is starting today ... then take the 186.8. This will just make me work even harder!! Last time, my weight went up instead of down

. The afternoon and evening were nice. Not the best of days for me though - the bath in one of the guests rooms is not draining and I can't sort it out (plumber booked for Monday and fortunately I can shuffle guests around and not use this room for the moment) and I can't find my credit card ...... I used it yesterday in the house and keep it in my phone case. I have been out for a walk today and did open the phone case but I'd be very surprised if it was able to drop out. One more attempt to locate it tomorrow otherwise I will have to cancel it.ZizzyBumble wrote: »Friday 30 August

I'm gonna weigh tomorrow too, I haven't in a couple of months! Hoping this will help get me back in gear, I've been consistently eating over maintenance and I really need to get it under control.

Well I went to the doctor and she didn’t have any quick fixes for my hip. She thinks I’ve torn the tiny fibres that make up the tendon and muscles that are connected to the bone in my butt. She has given me a prescription anti inflammatory that will help more than the over the counter stuff I’ve been taking, but she said really I need to give it time. So I guess the answer is patience which isn’t one of my strong suits. Her and I got laughing and talking about how I got injured I forgot to mention my wrist. It is better this week though since I’ve cut back on my phone usage and have rearranged my desk a bit at work. I’ll make another appointment if it doesn’t stay calm.

@ZizzyBumble Glad that your credit card turned up. It's such a pain if you have to cancel them. Good luck with the plumber on Monday.
@Snowflake1968 I can sympathise with the hip probs. And patience is also a problem for me! 😂
The scale bounced back up a little this morning, which is what normally happens when I have a Whooosshhh like yesterday. Weight loss is seldom linear. If the trend is downward, I'm content.3 -
Yesterday was a WIN!!!! So proud of myself, now to keep the momentum going. I weighed myself for the first time in 2 months yesterday. I've gained 3 of the 4 lbs I lost back, so I need to buckle down. I don't have a lot of muscle mass and I have a small frame, so I unfortunately look best/ most fit when I'm at the bottom of the weight range for my height (and every single pound shows)🙄😭.
Here are my stats for the 5 lbs challenge:
Highest ever: 149.0
SW/CW for challenge: 112.0
GW: 105 - 107 depending.
My lowest was 103 when I first did MFP and I lost a lot of muscle and didn't look very fit, just skinny. Im hoping to improve that this time around!
Yesterday 8/30:
1. Stay within calorie goal😁
2. Finish work at 5:20😁
3. WAIT and think before reaching for all the snacks😁
4. Find scale😁
JFT 8/31:
1. Stay within calorie goal
2. Finish painting bedroom finally
3. WAIT and think before reaching for all the snacks
4. Put clothes away4 -
