Morning guys n gals, hope you all have the most fantastic day. Last day of work for me today and I cant wait for 3 days off, I feel like I need it. So did 6 miles biking at the gym, im in training for a cancer research uk event to bike 300 miles in september - im part of a team of 3 so 100 miles each. I want to get to at least 10 miles per session to be able to fit it all in. Also smashed my rowing best and did 2000 m in 12 mins on wards and upwards... feel a bit bloated today but hey ho itll go ...feeling a bit of a wobble today on weight loss front not sure why but ill just plough through it, i aint giving up now 100 pounds your mine!5

Good morning FitFam!
I’ve got my workout done this morning and I’ll be headed to the pool with the little guy in just a few. Sadly the scale is still climbing but like I said yesterday I am determined to keep going.
I am sure that by my official weigh in on Saturday I will be up a good 5lbs from last week. So far this week I’ve gone from 208.2 to 212.4 this morning. It’s incredibly frustrating but I know that I am really bringing it at the gym. My food intake is far from perfect but I’ve made so many changes and improvements. The thing about doing weight training is I am just always hungry. I also drink loads of water 2 to 3 l daily. I forget to log a lot of it tho.
Ok I’m off. Wishing you all a blessed Thursday 💪🏻♥️👍🏻

Nice work crushing the rower! 100 miles sounds hard but looks like you are doing the training to accomplish this. Keep on trodden and that 100 pounds will be yours.mari_moulin wrote: »Daily Check-in: Wednesday 08/11

I am having the same issue since I started swimming and doing the water weights. I am so hungry all the time. I more than likely will post a gain again this week. Like you I will not stop because I believe it has to even out once I get used to the exercise. Enjoy your swim with your little guy.1 -
Wednesday check in

❌ Reminders 7/8 😩
Had a great swim and workout yesterday. I ended up walking to the pharmacy and market yesterday too. I ran out of steam when my blood sugar dropped very low in the afternoon. I treated it and got it back up but for some reason my energy did not improve.
I am pretty sure I will post a gain tomorrow. It’s a combination of eating jiggs dinner (high sodium)on Sunday, eating more than usual as I am hungry constantly since I started swimming (dipping into exercise calories) and I am eating out today. I think I need to restructure the way I spread my calories out during the day. Maybe trying 3 meals and 2 snacks will do the trick. Any thoughts?
Have a super day!

Sorry about putting you as overdue yesterday. I edited the post wrong. I didn’t have enough coffee at that point.3 -
@lindamtuck2018 ... what I do is have my coffee in the morning ....lunch at noon or so either a fruit smoothie or real lunch ....a handful of almonds for snack and then dinner around 6pm... and my version of ice coffee after dinner ...this works for me .... I am not a big breakfast person so my coffee keeps me full2

Water 80oz

Still dealing with this cold but was able to get the lawn mowed at least. Today has become an unexpected babysitting day so I've got all the kids again. After they get picked up we have my son's open house for kindergarten. He's very excited to meet his teacher, as am I. We also get to see his classroom, which we didn't get to do at kindergarten round up cuz they didn't let parents into the building.4 -

Daily Check-In For Wednesday 8/11
Calories: Over by 1,000 (I had a milkshake - and that was all it took!)
Water: 90+ oz.
IF 16/8: Yes, 18 hours fasting
AF: Yes, For the month 9/11 days AF
Exercise: No (Rest Day)
Pretty sure there will be a gain on my weigh-in tomorrow, but in spite of that, I feel really positive about where I am in weight loss. I'm in a good head space with my goals. My exercise, water, fasting & alcohol consumption are all on point. I'm about 80/20 for my food this week & next week, but I think that is okay as there is a lot going on the next couple of weeks. Will buckle back down on my food choices on the 23rd to finish the month strong.
