@Beka3695 - you are rockin' it! Am I seeing that right - you lost 10.2 pounds last month?2

This promises to be an awful week for workouts, but I’ll probably lose weight.
I am officially sick. I have a miserable head cold and had a fever last night. I’m working from home today and if the fever returns, I will be tested for covid before returning to work.
I don’t think the fever is covid though because I felt sick yesterday (stuffed up, runny nose, etc) and took the furkids on a 4 hr hike anyway because it was gorgeous out. I’m hoping I just overdid it when I knew I should have taken it easy.
The reason it should be a good week for weight loss though is that I have almost no appetite at all when I feel this sick. Toast for breakfast and a can of soup when it’s lunch time. If I start to feel better though, I will definitely head to the gym5 -
Excited to start September challenge. August was not a very strong month for me, life and a small vacation happened. I hope this coming month to be better.

Final day of holiday here...... not going to be the most balanced, but I'm logging it all....
On a plus side have done one workout after lunch and got another one at 18h00. I know you can't out train a bad diet, but you can limit the damage a little!
Planned my meals for the working week and got a loose exercise outline. Weirdly looking forward to having the routine back. Bring it on!3 -

Nice!! I'll take second!1 -
I had a big loss last week and am struggling this week for sure. I am on furlough so my schedule is non-existent, I am at my time of the month so I feel like a bottomless pit with my eating and I don't have a lot of energy. I drank more this weekend than I have in a long time. I am up about a pound and a half at the moment. This morning I will take back control and not let this small slip hinder my progress! I am much happier when I am taking care of myself. No one else is going to do it for me. Let's do this!!!0

I just found out last Friday that we have to take a week of furlough before the end of the year. This def ruined my weekend but I try to remind myself atleast I still have a job.3 -

So back to tracking and getting this under control.. having my husband complain that I’m snoring isn’t good. Plus I’ve been waking up feeling yucky. I’m going to blame that on my weight. So my plans are to track more, check in with the group daily, and eliminate Pepsi (my weakness). Then let’s see how next week turns out.3 -

Life is crazy. I am starting off small this week with getting back to logging my food. I cannot think of the last time I actually logged meals. Next week, I will try to get my legs moving more.2 -
Borrowed this from Instagram...
I edited for we non stone users. Also marked thru the bottom three as they are not sustainable for that period. No need to set ones self up for failure.
Just food for thought.1 -
@Beka3695 I used to follow Charl at princess planning and watch her stories..... had totally forgotten about her but now want to go and check her and the family out again... thanks for the motivation to procrastinate further!!!!🤣🤣
Today is my first day back at work (from my spare room) since July. Was good to be back but now I'm in bed at 2130 exhausted! Teaching for the first time since June in the morning, always fear I've forgotten how after a gap!
Today is also the first day I havent snacked after dinner for a lonnnnnnggggg time. Can I keep it up?
Food logged, 10k steps done. Hoping to be up early enough to get a pre class walk in in the morning and need to do a workout after work or maybe at lunchtime.....
Sorry for the me me me post but brain is tired. 10 mins of reading then bed.
Here's to a great September

Today was third class of acrobatics, and it’s still so much fun! Also, new challenges just keep on coming. You should have seen my face today when the coach said ”today we’re doing a trick called aerial, it’s pretty much like a cartwheel without hands”. Needless to say, I did not succeed in that trick, but I got closer with the techniques and got closer to some other tricks as well.5

@hipari sounds lots of fun!
I survived a night without late night snacks... best fitbit sleep score in ages, might be a coincidence, might not!
Meals planned for today, workout done, now to get back into the virtual classroom.... at least no time for snacking this morning!
Have a good day!2 -

This is the third week at 170. I try adjusting my eating increasing and decreasing my calories but the scale have not move. I am not going to stress I am not gaining and that is a victory.
Hope everyone have a great day.3 -

Have you still been measuring yourself? Often the scale stubbornly remains the same while we lose inches1 -

At my age and with my knee still in recovery from surgery 2 years ago, + menopause, I'm pretty damned proud of my loss b/c I was stuck for a long time and couldn't lose any weight....I have 3 weeks from Friday until my son's wedding and I will get to my next goal 😘5 -

Hubby had blood work done yesterday - found out he's 1 point away from being diabetic. Doctor told him to either lose weight or take meds. Thankfully he chose losing weight - he's 5'10" and probably weighs around 290 (won't tell me but I'm pretty sure that's close). So this means my own weight loss will improve because he does all the cooking! And ironically, while it's taken me all year to take off 19 pounds, he'll probably do it in 2 months. Oh well - that's OK - I know he'll feel better and maybe be able to go on some hikes with me!4

Yes, I have been measuring myself and my clothes is getting a bit smaller. Does sleep also have an effect on weight loss I had been sleeping poorly those day. I don't seems to be able to turn my brain off, it seems I am on rewind and replay with all of the events of the day.0 -

Sleep does have an effect. Also if you are working out pretty strenuously, your muscles can retain water. Take a couple days off and you will flush it out. Pun intended 🤪
I have had weeks where I was 100% on point with food and exercise and lost hardly anything. The next week was busier and unable to workout and drop 3+ pounds.
The results will come. Trust the process.1
