Downsizers Team Chat - NOVEMBER 2022
Replies
-
Hi everyone, thanks for having me back! I'm 48/F from New York, not married/no kids (so all of my food choices are 100% on me
). I joined this team originally in May '20. I started out great and from April to Nov '20, I lost about 30lbs. This team has been great for support and motivation! I decided to finish my degree online while working from home full-time and got completely overwhelmed, which led to me dropping the ball on my health. Now I'm about back to where I started, weight-wise. I'm working from the office again, I've settled into a better rhythm on my schoolwork, and the next step is to add going to the gym. Ok, onto the weigh-in!

Weigh-in day: Wednesday
HW: 245
SW: 237.6
CW: 237.2
So it's only a 0.4lb loss, but I'm calling it a win because I went to a Halloween Party on Saturday, a birthday party on Sunday, and trick-or-treating with my great-nephews on Monday. I'll take any number that's less than last week!
Steps so far this week:
Sunday, 10/30: 6,069
Monday, 10/31: 8,644
Tuesday, 11/1: 7,440
It’s a loss so that’s all that matters. Great stepping!

Surprising considering i haven't been that good with my diet. I think it was offset by how busy ive been. Had the week off work so we got lots of things done around the house, setting up for Halloween, then we decorated the living room and de-cluttered the garage, i did an extra nightshift and it was really busy. Our greyhound escaped whilst we were decorating and i had to run all the way to the woods to catch him, which was not easy, he's an ex racer and can go 40mph if he wants to!2 -

Sounds like you had a busy week. Great job staying in your maintenance range!

Starting to lift weight on Monday. My loose skin is making me look flabby lol. Time to hopefully tone it up. I really don't like lifting weights but oh well. I'll be lifting after I'm done my morning run3

I know exactly what caused the gain. I go out for supper every Wednesday night with my card group. This week it was terribly salty. Thursday morning I was up 5 pounds. 😳 Not going back there anymore. I will do better next week.

MOTIVATION
Are you motivated?
If so, great. If not, read on!
Motivation is a feeling. Feelings come and go. So what happens when it's gone?
Having a strong “Why” is a great place to start. If you don’t know why you’re doing what your doing, you have no reason to continue.
So it might really help to find your "why"
After you come up with an answer, write it down and keep asking yourself WHY until you are unable to answer it
Memorise your WHY list! Visualise your life when you reach your end journey. Live sleep and breathe your WHY list!
Stop at nothing to achieve that why.
This is more powerful than motivation will EVER be.
Hope this helps. Lis

No change, but still better than a gain.
Sorry for the delay. Wednesday started very hectic, though I did manage to weigh in. Afterwards I completely forgot to post 😳2 -

YAY! in the 140s again!
Sitting in the parking lot of the gym about to go to weight lifting class.
A friend gave me 2 quarts of honey so I am going to make baklava today (never made it before). So hopefully I can find enough neighbors etc to pass out extras!3 -

Happy Sunday Team !
I’m very sorry about this weigh in. I didn’t miss a beat when it came to work outs but my eating was absolutely horrible. I know this ain’t all fat gain but I’m sure I’m retaining quite a bit of water from high sodium foods. My kids have been home for a 2 week school break. I did well the first week but this second week my husband also took a week off and I was cooking bigger meals for lunch and dinner, we ate out twice, went bowling so had bad foods there, and on top of it we were having game nights etc which includes lots of salty treats like chips, pretzels, peanuts etc. Oh yea and quite a bit of Halloween candy. I have also been on antibiotics and a couple of other meds this week after a tooth extraction I had at the end of last week. So I had to stop IF cause I had to eat with my meds. I knew my weight would go up but I was not expecting this much of a gain. Wow I’m shocked. I just hope i can manage to get it back down by my next weigh in. Im going to try to log my food daily, get back on IF and continue my workout sessions. Again, I’m sorry that my weigh in will have a negative impact on my teams stats this week.
