Hi Group!
My name is Julissa, sorry it took so long for me to introduce myself things have been a little crazy here at work. I work on my feet most of day so getting in excerside at the end of the day seems hard for me but I will start off slowly. Being aware of what I eat has been the only thing that has worked for me (cal in/cal out). Lost 60 lbs 3 years ago and slowly but surely the weight has come back. I live in southern California, married, 2 sons, 15 and almost 21.
I think it's time to get the baby weight off

Thursday 4 June
Track: yes
Calories: yes
Exercise: no 👎🏻
Comment: work is getting really heavy this week and it is so hard to stay healthy in all aspects. My food is still on track but I’m finding it super hard to fit exercise into these 12/13 hour days! Any advice on fitting it in or regaining energy after work to do one!?0 -
Thursday June 4
Track:yes
Calories:yes
Exercise: yes, 30 min walk, 30 min yoga, 15 min Fitness Marshall video
Comments/day/goal: I basically didn’t sit down most of the day today. This is a huge feat for me because I was off work and I tend to sit on the couch all day. Not today! Weigh in is tomorrow 🤞 for a good number!
@hjordan2888 Sadly I don’t have much advice for you. I just think of the reasons why I need to actually get off my butt after a long day. Even if I do something for only 15 minutes that’s better then nothing!1 -
@hjordan2888 what do you do? When I am super busy and have long days at work, there are a few things I do:
Be extra good about what I eat and ensure that I prep my food. If I know I cant get the fitness in, its extra important to make good food choices, but also more difficult because I stress eat.
Try to find ways to do little things throughout the work day. Take the stairs, do 10 squats when I take a break, etc.
When we are allowed back in the office, I sit at a desk all day, except for during meetings. I always take the stairs for meetings. I work on the 23rd floor, so some days I will come in early and climb them up. I also have a desk elliptical that sits under my desk.2 -

Some things to potentially consider:
Is your stress high? Could be high cortisol levels. Are you weighing/measuring everything? You might be eating more calories than you think.
Have you looked at your macro balance? Maybe your macros are not balanced well.
Have you tried a different fitness routine? If we stick to the same one for too long, they begin to lose effectiveness.
Try not to get too frustrated. I get it though, its hard. I have been plateaued for over a month. I had to sit down and reevaluate. I joined this challange to help with that and hopefully get over this stupid plateau. We will all get there. Just dont give up!1 -

I definitely agree with you here - I feel like the weekend may be the easiest to really push it out and this group is already helping to keep me motivated!

I work for marketing and international student recruitment at a university so I’m expected to be doing data and on calls all day every day to all over the world (time zones make this very hard to have a normal 9-5!). You are totally right with finding that 10 minutes a day and in fact I’ve started a new morning yoga routine that is making me feel refreshed. Also well done you for getting all of those stairs! We’ve been told that we will have to work from home until at least October so I’ll have to search for some stairs of my own 😉 Also I am loving that a desk elliptical exists!??

I am in market research at Microsoft, so have a very similar office desk job. It makes things hard being so sedentary for so long. Great job on the new routine! I find that a good morning routine with getting movement in makes my day so much better.
Our office is closed until at least October too,so I feel the pain there! My husband is with Microsoft too and his group has already been informed that they wont be back in the office until 2021 :-/2 -
Friday June 5
Track:yes
Calories: yes under
Exercise: Jillian 30day shred level 2, THENX week 5 day 5
Goals/day/comments:
I got 3 strict-ish pull ups today! When I started THENX, I could not do one (5 weeks ago). They were ugly, but I dont care.
I maintained under my calories all week, but am not happy with my macros. I was heavier on my fat then I should have been but I am so tired of chicken breast, I just wanted to do thighs and have a bit more flavor! We will see on Sunday if it impacted scale movement. Will be back to leaner protein this weekend.2 -
