Relapsers getting Real Healthy Accountability group- 2020-2021

Been a bit since I check in. Way over indulged on hubby’s days off. time to kick it into overdrive have a few pounds to go to make it to my end of January goal. Hope everyone is doing well. Will try to get caught up on posts today.

Not my best weekend. Definitely have a harder time sticking to my daily calorie goal at home, but I did at least log it. Here's to starting another week off right with a packed healthy lunch.

Had a rough day calorie wise. I don't know why this happens sometimes, I went way over calories and hit a big sugar binge. Wasn't in a bad mood or anything, I just felt like I couldn't stop eating even though I was beyond full.

This happens to me too, alot of people suggested I write down my feelings before and after each time and try to find a common link but for me personally I just couldnt find anything, some days my willpower is just a little lower I guess. I know it sucks so I hope today is better for you!

I just noticed your picture @laurenebargar Go Bills!!! Are you from Buffalo?
And thanks to you and @HealthyTrent for the support I'm trying to get back on track today and not let the set back bother me too much. Sometimes I sugar binge when I'm stressed, but yesterday I was having a relaxing day no idea what triggered it

Hi all!
Sounds like February is approaching -with everyone having their "fall off the horse" moments.... definitely been there!

I found I needed a wee bit o heavier calorie day(s) every so often. I think it ended up balancing out my workouts or something? Definitely something you try not to have happen but it's definitely something you can't beat yourself up over- that can lead to further derailing. Forgive but hold accountable by logging. Best recipe for success! Particularly if they rarely happen... just start fresh right after it or the next day. Is okay. I forgive you 🍻 lol

In huge news: my husband just landed a permanent position working remote. A dream job for him. We are in shock.

The baby didn't sleep for me much yesterday, 2+1 hrs of sleep, but we started on cereal so that's kind of helping ground her habits a bit... she actually let me sleep 5.5 hrs!! Hurraaay! It was an act of kindness in celebration lol.

To save money we decided to stay where we are but I'm sorely tempted to find a place and finally settle! Motivation bug.... but moving is exhausting.... we shall see.


Apparently my husband told my mom that he didn't want me to worry about my weight until she's 6 months- cause he's worried I'm gonna wear myself out too much. Probably right ... so I'm kind of just coasting through these weeks. My back is still pretty stiff, likely because I walk with her around and she's getting to 12lbs. My plan once my mom leaves in 2 weeks will be to just try and get out to the park for more walks together. Start small n slow. Also get more healthy snacks instead of carbs n chocolate during work. It's always a fun time detoxing...

Here is to a great 2021!

Ooof - the last few days have been a bit rough - I've been feeling a lot of anxiety around today's inauguration, and then I'm also feeling a little anxious about starting meetings this week about the 2021 round for the scholarship we established in my late wife's memory. I'm glad we can honor her in this way, but it always stirs up lots of emotions and I've had to take a bit of a leadership role on the committee which I was hoping originally not to have to do. I think I was internalizing all this anxiety the last few days and letting myself eat way too much.

Anyways - I'm determined to get back to my new normal today - I've got my breakfast smoothie and coffee in front of me and am about to go downstairs for work. Salad w/chicken and soup for lunch, and then I guess I'll do a chicken wrap w/veggies in it for dinner. I didn't get up in time to walk beforehand, but will try and walk at least 15 minutes at work, and then get a few miles in after work.

@seschreck - I find meal prepping really helpful, too!

Struggle town continues this week. I think some part of me is rebelling against the menu I setup for the whole week ahead of time, combined with various causes of stress/anxiety. Today I'm going to just go with the flow, but not allow myself to eat after dinner. A few higher calorie days isn't a big deal, but I can't keep eating endlessly in the evenings, and that's when I've been struggling the most.

Hope folks are doing well!

My name is Christopher and feels so good that I'm not alone. My goals is to lose 15 lbs then start putting on muscles. I know it won't happen over night and it takes a alot of effort and the right mind set. No excuses for myself and hope everyone else reach there goals as well.

HELLO to the new faces of the group!!!
Ok so I have been doing pretty ok this week and have exercised twice already. I’m going to try and get something in tomorrow before the weekend. Food wise I have been attempting to stick to some goals and have decided to be kinder to myself instead of so strict. But I am also trying to not my husband influence my food choices.
This week’s struggle is: I hate throwing food out and end up eating all the half-leftovers my husband doesn’t take for lunch.
Solution: I am going to cook less food and I am thinking of prepping two days in advance for myself only. He can deal with his own issues for now.
I hope all is well and everyone is staying motivated!

Hello, hello! I has been a while Just wanted to say hi and while I have been busy and not checking in I have been consistently under calories and tracking for 12 days. I know this isn't anything colossal, but I am happy that I am starting to get back into the grove and able to hit my goals! Portion control is huge for me aka being accountable. I am making sure to pick more fresh not packaged items. I have also entered Hummus and veggie city, when I'm snacky I am trying to go for fresh or pickled veg, and making sure I track everything/measure and weigh my food.
I have not been working out at all, but hoping to slowly add workouts back in. My goal this coming week is to be kinder to myself (yes cheesy af, but I'm too critical). I do not have to workout for an hour and a half every session, something is always better than nothing! It's about getting back to the workouts I love and staying consistent. I'm trying to put less pressure on myself to do things "perfectly", as this mindset always leads up to me quitting.
