Daily post Tuesday
Tracked: no
Calories: assuredly over
Exercise: no
I indulged today at work and at home tonight. One thing that is on my mind is “how did I manage to eat like this everyday before?” I feel gross and the food was not worth it. Now, if I had binged on sushi or pizza it might have been worth it....😛3 -
I thought I posted this yesterday and I guess I didn't hit post . . . . AGAIN.

Week # 3
Weigh In Day: Monday
Previous Weight: 109.5
Current Weight: 111.98 (yesterday). I weighed myself after lunch break, which was a horrible idea, and I have been eating larger calorie meals less often at the recommendation of my naturopath due to some of my labwork, so I ate more than I would have at one sitting. Hopefully that was the culprit. It makes me feel better anyway

Track: Yes
Calories: Slightly over, but I did eat one more meal than usual, a smoothie with greens and avocado during a 2 hr training at work after a 12 hr nightshift. Otherwise, I would have been at goal.
Exercise: No exercise. I worked, had a few hour class, and then slept for 5 hours to come back to work for another 12 hr shift. I do work in the ER and we have been super busy, so I'm sure I'm getting more steps than usual. Hopefully that accounts for something
Day: This was day 1 into day 2 of my new meal plan that my naturopath and I discussed at my last appontment. I did well overall. I have a lot of inflammation, a gluten sensitivity, as well as a dairy and soy sensitivity, so I am really trying to get back on track. I am back to meal prepping and weekly grocery shopping that i do online instead of being in the store wanting everything in sight and not getting what I really need. I've also been watching some YouTube shows by clean & delicious (I love this channel) to get some ideas as I really have no cooking background and I need a whole lot of help in that area. Haha. My husband loves to cook, but he likes to cook meat and potatoes, which isn't going to work for me.3 -

I completely feel ya! Pizza is so good, but I usually end up feeling just as miserable unless I just scrape off the toppings and ditch the crust. Bread and I don't get along well, even though I really like it.

I hope your new eating plan gives you some relief! I’m not much for cooking either so I feel you -when I did strict clean eating I pretty much just ate meat and veggies or salads, hopefully you’re finding something more creative/satisfying lol.0 -
Cooking is actually very easy, whether it be on a stovetop or in the oven. Don’t be fearful of it. Ask a family member or friend to show you the ropes. I’d actually suggest that strongly over learning online, at least until you get the basics down.
Spices make all the difference. Start using small amounts to see what your taste preference is. You can easily google what spices are best with swordfish, for example.
Good luck and have fun! 🥘3 -

My mindset is firmly back in place. I’ve been wobbling lately. One day under, two days over. I’m committed again to staying under calories.

Week: Thursday, December week 3 (19-12)
PW: 98,3 kg / 216,71lbs
CW: 100,1 kg / 220,68 lbs
Track: Yes
Pretty weird i gained, since i ate an average of 2245 kcal and my extra burns from exercise was 672+537+642 = 1851
So if i deduct that, my average net kcal is 1936
I must be very bloated, so going to drink extra water today to see if it is going to be down and under 99 kg again in 2 day's

I had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago, it was so frustrating to see after doing everything “right”. Fluctuations happen often so don’t let it discourage you. Hopefully you’re back down again quickly!1 -

Does anyone else lose all sense of themselves during this month?
I’ve been struggling with stress eating all month, but Ive been able to keep the weight gain at bay (for now). Fall semester already ended and I was hoping to get in the gym more but not even that’s been happening. I’ve just been so tired lately.
How do ya’ll stay calm (or as calm as you can) during this holiday? Cause lets face it, its a whole month affair, not just a one day thing like all the rest.1 -

It’s definitely a bit of a struggle for me, I actually find I can do pretty well managing to make good food choices at all the parties and get togethers while still enjoying myself. Where I struggle is being gifted chocolates or holiday baking. That tends to derail me pretty hard so I think this year I’m just going to regift or toss any I get cuz if I have even a little it always seems to send me on a binge that can last months.
I’m finding this year, so far, that going in to each event with a plan and being mindful to stick to it and not punishing myself if I don’t has been really good for me and mentally I feel much better than I have in previous years.
Just keep trying, and don’t beat yourself up for not doing all the things you think you should. Try and find time for yourself to relax and regroup mentally and try to get as much enjoyment out of the holidays as you can. ❤️2 -
