    February Week 1 Weigh in
    PW 166.6
    CW 169.2

    I fully expected the gain, Superbowl is a big deal in my house. Its pretty much its own holiday for us, and it includes lots of yummy food, drinks, and sitting around watching TV lol. I know I did not over 7000 calories over maintenance, but I fully expected a 3-5lb water weight gain. I hope to see it drop back down for next week.

    Daily Check-in: Tuesday 02/04

    Calories: Under
    Water: 2.750L
    Steps: 20,026
    Exercise: @ the gym = C25K, strength training

    I’ve been getting really frustrated with the scale. I haven’t lost anything for the whole of January. I’ve maintained my weight between 190 and 192 the whole month. Today I’ve made some changes on MPF. I will no longer allow myself to eat my workout calories (I always use this as an excuse to eat more) and I’ve changed my weight loss goals from 0.5 lbs loss to 2 lbs loss a week.

    I am also really focusing on my bad snacking habits. This is what is causing me to stay at maintenance. I am eating too many bad snacks at random times. I’ve decided to set myself a snack goal and set a time. I have read a tip to actually sit at my snack time and to treat it like a meal. This way I have a start and end time to my snacking and I’m not just grabbing snacks mindlessly at random times making them truly add up by the end of the day. Let’s see how this new plan works out for me.

    My February goals are......

    Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
    Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
    Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
    Go to the gym 4 times a week (30min cardio + 1 hour strength on Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri)
    Run 5K on Saturday's
    Walk at least 1 hour on Sunday's
    Zumba every Monday night (unless class is cancelled)

    Steps for 2/4 = 11,055

    Yesterday was a good day. I had gained several pounds over the Suoer Bowl weekend and I’m knocking those back out. Hoping to be back in the green by weigh in on Thursday but time will tell. I learned, though, that those party foods aren’t as good as they seem during the anticipatory phase! Except for one item, they didn’t really even taste that good. Should have just allowed myself a limited amount of that one thing and savored it. Next time!!!

    Hang in there @mari_moulin! You have certainly hit a bit of a plateau. But it sounds like you are making some adjustments. Good luck this week!

    This week has continued to be busy for me at work but I have only two days left and then a long weekend. Goals for today:

    1. Drink 100oz of water
    2. Walk at lunch even if it’s only 30 mins
    3. Bring veggies with my lunch. Yesterday I didn’t bring enough food and ended up buying something from the vending machine.

    Right now we only have 5 people in the step challenge. Anyone else like to join in so we can beat our January step totals?

    Wednesday check in

    Calories: under
    Exercise: 70 minute walk
    Water: not enough( only filled bottle twice, drank a lot of tea and coffee)

    Didn’t make it to swimming tonight as I was beat. I took Molly to the vet last night and they started her on pain meds to help her sleep at night. It will take a week or two to figure out right dose. I am looking forward to a full night sleep again.
