TEAM: Run Track Minds (November)
Replies
-
I got off the rails last week...I just lost my motivation, got focused on other stuff, and before I knew it, I wasn't pre-tracking, then I wasn't posting my daily updates, then I wasn't really tracking. Part of it was that I just didn't do my meal and snack prep last weekend and I know myself better than to think I just wing it or "go to the store and grab something real quick on the way to work." Also, I'm out of touch with what is impulsive eating.
It's so easy for me to convince myself that I'm being mindful about whatever I'm deciding to eat totally fits in my calorie budget or is maybe a little bit of a splurge but totally worth it. I wish I could come up with some kind of flow chart about "should I eat this" but ultimately no that won't get at the root cause of the problem. What I can do is this (1) keep posting/journaling about what I recognize after the fact as compulsive eating so I can try to recognize the difference in the future or at least stay accountable (2) keep preparing and preparing (3) keep tracking and ideally pre-tracking (4) remember how deep the roots of this eating behavior go and know that unlearning it and rebuilding my relationship with food has a long way to go.
Here's my weigh in if it can still be used

Am I happy with my progress today: Yes! I made good choices today. 😄
I went grocery shopping today. I’m at the butcher counter and I asked for 1/4 pound of ground sirloin. The butcher kinda gawks at me and says “1/4 pound?” I said yeah, that’s all I need for my recipe.
So, he goes to get it and I hear this small voice behind me say “I do that, too.” This little old lady is smiling at me like we’re co-conspirators in some master plan to drive the butcher insane. She made my day. 😋

I had a horrible week, and was sure I was going to gain. I am ecstatic that I lost half a #! I got some pretty horrible news on Thursday and have been about 100-300 calories over everyday since then and have eaten take out two nights in a row, had ice cream twice and have been eating chocolate. I've definitely been eating my feelings, so this is a major victory!3 -

@midsummer174627 unfortunately I need weights by EOD Saturday to have them count for the week! But, thats ok, weigh in this weekend and we will be good to go!1

Hang in there, @CrystalEssex ! Sorry to hear about your horrible news. Emotional eating can get the best of us but it looks like you are moderating it somewhat considering your loss this week! But we are all here for you, I hope this week is a better week.2

Username: DDay2020
Week: 11/10
PW: 250.2
CW: 244.5
Things I did well:40-75 min of cardio x 7, Mobility Everyday, lifted 5 of 7 days
Long term goal: It is 7 weeks until January 1, 2020. I have done 48 of my 50 workout goal. I do cardio, weights and mobility regularly. I gained 2.6 pounds last week. I did nothing to justify a 2.6 pound weight gain last week and I did nothing to justify a 4.7 pound weight loss this week. After the holidays are over I think only weighing in once a month will be better for me. I took a waist measurement and I’m down 2 inches so all in all I’m thrilled with the progress this week.3 -

Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Rest day....definitely overdid it Monday because my legs are SORE
Day: Solid day back to work, I didn't pack enough lunch so was starving throughout the afternoon, but luckily I resisted snacking when I got home and just started dinner earlier than usual to accommodate my hunger. Made fried rice with chicken and really bulked up the rice with TONS of veggies so that I could eat a little more without as many calories. Even had some calories leftover for a little fruit and low calorie cool whip!1 -
Hey Team!
Just an FYI, looking for weigh-ins from @jupollock and @joehlrich ! If you don't weigh in this week by end of day Saturday, then unfortunately you won't be counted towards the rest of the challenge. So for the good of the team, please check in with us, even if the results aren't where you want them to be! We need you!

PW: 99,5 kg / 219,36 lbs
CW: 98,5 kg / 217,16 lbs
Track: Yes
Exercise: planned on going my 3 times a week, but was invited over for a lunch on friday which is normally my workout day. Got my jump rope with me to work, so i at least was able to do 5 minute rope jumping. So did monday, wednesday in gym and friday rope jumping
Goals: Trying to eat within my calorie goal on daily basis, but at least on a week basis. After all, for weight loss it's calorie in vs calorie out. Also drinking less coffee a day, 1-2 cups and not 15 cups a day anymore

Daily Post (Wednesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Completed another C25K and I'm happy to say that they are going much easier than I anticipated. I have started and stopped the program several times at this point never making it through to the end. So I restarted at Week 2 because I was fairly confident that I could jump back in and be fine and I'm thrilled that that is proving to be the case. Its amazing how much easier cardio can be when I'm not carrying around an extra 30 pounds!
Day: Solid day back on track. Exercised even though on the commute home my brain was starting to think of reasons I could skip. Instead I walked into the apartment and immediately changed into work out gear and left, without giving myself a minute to sit and come up with excuses to stay in the house! Fully committed to finishing this C25K program this time around!3
