January 2023 Accountability Month - Check-In
Replies
-
My name is Liz and I’m 38. I’m restarting after a rough end to last year. This is the heaviest I’ve ever been.
Goals:
Get to 220 lb
Eat more salads and veggies
Limit takeout
Walk 10k every day
Workout to start with 2-3 times a week
Drink more water, less alcohol
Not be so hard on myself - it’s ok to make mistakes as long as I keep trying.
1/1 - 229.4 lb
1/2 - 227.0
1/3 - 228.4- I had a dinner out with drinks and not the best of food. I didn’t sleep well and I’m back to my normal schedule so I’m weighting in 5 hours earlier today
1/4 - 228.0- I did great with tracking and drinking water but struggled sleeping.
1/5 - 227.0
1/6- 226.8

2023 start weight - 209.0
January goals:
-5lb on the scale
gluten free month
alcohol free month
1/1 - 209.0 45m walk
1/2 - 207.6 (had wine & piece of cake w. gluten) 45m walk
1/3 - 207.6 30m walk + 15min fitness 'test' on the treadmill
1/4 - 207.2 slight progress, but I'll take it! Walk 45m
1/5 - 206.6 successfully avoiding gluten this week and the fluid retention is leaving. 90min walk w/ 1min run
1/6 - 205.2 now to stay focused for the weekend
1/7 (taking sons to Chicago to fly to London for a week) - rest day

I used to run 3 miles daily, but that was before 2 foot breaks (2015 and 2016), round of breast cancer/radiation in 2016, 2 leg breaks (2017 and 2022), neck surgery 2020, and hysterectomy 2021. Geesh, the 50s have done a number on my body! I'm s.l.o.w.l.y getting back into running. Each week I'll add 1 minute to the run portion of my walk (3 runs per week). So the last week of 2023 I'll be at 52 solid run minutes. I tend to push too hard and pull a muscle so keep me honest and don't let me progress too fast!1 -

1/9 - 206.6 not surprised to bump back up since I didn't exercise this weekend. Back at it today with a 45min walk w/ 2min run today
1/10 - 207.6 geesh, a few gluten-free tortilla chips yesterday and the salt sent me right back up. Off for a 45min walk now.
1/11 - 207.2 on the way back to where I was last Friday. Today is walk+2min run.
1/12 - 206.6 45min walk today. runs are going well, it's irritating to stop so quick which is better than sucking air like last week.
1/13 - 206.2
1/14 - 205.2 staying focused...
1/15 - 204.6 heading to my treadmill for a 45min walk with a 3min run. Feeling good adding 1min run time per week, keeping eyes on the goal and not solely focused on the scale number.
1/16 - 205.0 rest day
1/17 - 204.6 45min walk including a 3min run span. Dinner is salsa chicken (boneless/skinless chicken thighs, can of drained black beans, can of chopped tomatoes w/ chiles, served on brown rice)
1/22 - 203.8 today will be a 4min run as part of my walk. Working this afternoon too so the treadmill will be my only movement.
