Thursday, August 19
- Exercise: 9 km walk + Dance with Deepti workout
- Net calories: no clue
- Vitamins: yes
A busy day on Thursday. My mom was still here and we decided to get up early for our walk in the hopes of catching the sunrise. We set our alarms at 5:50. It was super cloudy and we never got to see the sun at all. We got rained on a bit as well, but the temperature was fine so it wasn't really a big deal. Just not great photography weather. Later in the day I showed her the workout I like to do youtube, which we ended up doing together. It was pretty hilarious as my mom failed to do most of the steps right out of confusion and lack of coordination. To be fair, I was almost as bad when I started doing them; it takes some practice to get the hang of it. We ate out for dinner. I had a lovely vegetable burger with fries and some icecream after.3 -
08.20.21 weigh-in: 200.6
I'll admit that this was a hard pill to swallow, so to speak.
I have not ONCE gone over calories, and I carefully weigh and track every single thing that I eat and drink like it's my darn religion. I've been working out -- swimming about 1.25 miles every day this week, plus strength training and even some yoga/stretching (thanks to the GoT challenge!).
Yeah, yeah, yeah. My brain is fully functional and I know that it's ToM and that means water retention. I also know that exercises like lap swimming and lifting weights build muscle, and that weighs more than fat. I also know that sometimes, the body just needs to take a breath and recalibrate before it starts moving again, and this isn't even a true plateau because it's just a couple of weeks. But last week, I was down to 198.4, and now I've popped back up to 200.6.
Stress is a factor too. My kids go back to school and I head into my student teaching experience next week. I have to miss their first day of school (two 3rd graders and a kindergartner *sob*). I'm trying to finish my second Masters so that my husband and I can finally separate and move into the next chapter, and this student teaching assignment seems to be making things extra tense because it's making our pending separation very real -- and it's very sad.
Still, while my brain knows these things, my soul feels a bit wrecked that I've been at the same weight for a couple of weeks now, even though I've stayed on track with CICO and I have been exercising diligently.
I will persevere and next week will be a loss, I'm sure, but in the meantime, just allowing myself to feel the disappointment before I head to the pool again this afternoon, where I will hopefully swim some more laps. And I'll go ahead and strength train and stretch this morning because I know it's the right thing to do, no matter what the scale says.
Time to tighten my ponytail and double-down.

Friday weight
PW: 142.6
CW: 142.5
I spent the last three weeks trying to eat extremely healthy to lose weight. This week was my birthday and my oldest started kindergarten (in Texas). Needless to say I did not eat very healthy and stress ate due to the Delta variant raging through Texas and my daughter starting school. And it didn't make a difference whether I ate healthy or ate like crap.5 -

@CycleMomOf3 Ugh, that is so disheartening. I hope it turns around and you have a big loss next week to bolster your spirits!5

Man I just need a little vent. I hate standing out, I especially hate it being pointed out.
“You’re so tall!!”
“You’re a big girl”
“Got enough room there?”
Just bugger off and leave me alone.
I’m 5’10” American/Canadian size 16
I am neither massively tall or overweight. I am sometimes a lot taller than the other women depending on where we are.5 -
Friday, August 20
- Exercise: 6 km walk
- Net calories: 1043
- Vitamins: yes
Last day with my mom. We got up at 6:30 to go for another walk. The weather was much nicer this time so we managed to take some cool pictures. I walked her to the busstop at 12:30. These past few days have been so much more active than I am used to, so after I ate something, I crashed and had a nap. Though my calories have been low, my weight hasn't caught up yet which is a little annoying. Hopefully in a few days I will have a new lowest weight.

Hi all,great to catch up with all the team's comments.
@CycleMomOf3 it is sooo disappointing when your efforts don't match the scales.I struggled with this too,just stick with it & you will get there.Sounds like you have alot of stuff going on,keep positive.
@CasandraW other people's comments about your appearance can be annoying,I agree.I'm only a short person & at school I used to get,"Aren't you cute,you're so tiny" I was always asked for my I.D in bars.Just love the skin you're in,which I'm sure you do & ignore the silly comments.Lucky you,every extra pound shows up on me.My husband very unkindly once said to me when I was deciding whether I was apple or pear shaped,he said I was a cube 😩
@Khill875 hope you enjoyed your Birthday,treats are allowed.🎂
@dillyg08 this journey is a roller coaster,hold on tight you got this !
I am having a major declutter of my bedroom today.I have to empty the room as we are having the bedrooms plastered.Is anyone else on here a bit of a hoarder ? I have so much stuff & I definitely hang onto that has sentimental value.I am trying to be ruthless as I do feel better when I get rid of it.
I have bravely sold alot of my bigger clothes on ebay hoping that my serial yoyo dieting will stop this time.
Have a great weekend & hope you all reach your own goals.🙂6 -
@jessicakrall8 yes I did mean soccer.Alot of people support Manchester United eventhough they are not from my hometown.My two boys played since they were 6 years old.So I was a soccer Mum every weekend for many years.I'm not really into watching football so used to be a soccer widow,but then my husband would take the boys to the matches & I enjoyed a bit of ME time.2

I am going to be out tomorrow and may or may not have access to internet. Is it ok to send my weigh in today instead of tomorrow?
