Exercise: Yup! Yesterday, I ran a lot on the treadmill. I am surprised my legs are still attached. Today, I cycled, then did a quick (but not intense enough) weight training session. Calories: So far, so good! :smiley: Even down a full 1kg since Tuesday's ridiculosity. Tracked: So far, so good x 2! Roll on self-care, girl.

It's been a rough week, and I've fallen comically far away from the wagon. Not only when it comes to being accountable here, but in my own goals. I've gained a lot of weight in the past week, and it's no one's fault but mine. I've also noticed that while I've been diligent (until this past weekend) about commenting on…

I made very, very poor eating choices last night. I think my problem is boredom, or at least, wanting to feel like I'm DOING something or contributing. Last night, I decided to make macarons. I had 4 batches' worth, plus four different kinds of delicious filling. This morning, I have less than two batches remaining, and no…

Exercise: Sure did! Treadmill jogging for 30 minutes, then Day 1 of my programme (Chest day! :smiley: :smiley: ) Calories: Waaaaaaaaaay under. Went to the theatre yesterday evening and didn't get a "meal" in - just some Miso soup, coffee, a muesli bar (so still went over my carbs :lol: ), and a mouthful of roast pork and…

I DEFEATED THE BLACK CLIMBING ROUTE!!!!!!! TAKE THAT, GRAVITY!!!!!! I think my new training programme (self-written) has helped! :D :D :D Week 1 of my programme last week left me feeling fatigued and extended, but STRONGER. I didn't realise how much of an impact it'd have from just one week. I've been trying to complete an…

Exercised: I walked for about an hour, tops. No. I'm not counting it. On this day, I did not do as I should have, Calories: Over, but whole, good food sources. Mojo Pork = AMAZING. Tracked: As much as possible, but still over.

Exercised: Yesss! Did some walking in the gorgeous sun for about 3 hours all up throughout the day, AND I went indoor climbing again AND I DEFEATED THE PATH I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH FOR WEEKS!!! I'm so freakin' happy. I've been working at this wall for about 4 visits solid, never getting past this backward overhang, and I…

Better late than never! Exercised: Yup! Treadmill running and some brief faffing about with lat pulldowns Calories: Under, because Fridays tend to be when my spouse and I end up on fast days Tracked: Sure did.

Exercised? Yeah, a 30 walk to the gym, a 40-min treadmill jog, a 15 minute strength session, a 40 minute walk back, and tonight, another 60 min walk Calories: HAH. HAHAH. AHAHAH. Screw you, peanut butter. Tracked: Yes. Every single spoonful.

@RangerRickL I just rang my mother to tell her I love her and miss her - thank you for that prompt; and I'm sorry for your suffering. Exercised: This morning was a 12km walk along a series of beaches, pretty standard way to get to the office Calories: If I do okay tonight, then YES! Tracked: So far, so good.

Exercised: Yesssssssssss! I tried Day 1 of my new self-written 4-day-4-week programme and MAN, EVERYTHING HURTS THE DAY AFTER AND I AM SO HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Tuesday was Chest and Quads and it worked really well together! Calories: Under-but-bad-choices. I made the chocolate chip pumpkin bread from…

I've been training with a PT on and off since about 2013, when I fell in LOVE with strength training. Yesterday, I wrote my very first self-created/self-guided training programme. It's a 4 week programme, 4 days of training per week, and looks like this: Day 1: Chest, Quads + Glutes Day 2: Arms, Hamstrings + Calves Day 3:…

Exercise: Sure did! Did me some treadmill jogging for about 30 mins Calories: I THINK so? I didn't eat until late afternoon, and I kept within most of my ranges. When I got home, I know I went over on carbs and natural sugars, but this morning (Tuesday) I weighed in, and I'm down 2.2 lbs from about 10 days ago. Tracked:…

Exercised (Yesterday)? I did, ish. Took a couple of hours' walking into town to do some grocery shopping. Within Calorie Budget? Kinda. Well, probably not, actually. Tried OMAD over the weekend, and while I wasn't specifically hungry by the time dinner came around, I made an amaaaaaazing balsamic pot roast (if I do say so…

Exercise: Yessir! Took a leaf out of Bill Bryson's book and the some water in a bag and took off into the bush. 5 hours, 21,553 steps and 13kms of up, down and scrambly forest later, I am a very happy animal. Calories: There haven't been any, yet! I didn't eat today, but shortly I'll be indulging in some glorious…

Exercise? YESSIR. Not as much as I wanted, though. I walked into the gym intending to jog for 20 minutes, then run another attempt at my bench press 1RM, then do a quick 20 minute total body weights session. Got in, got on the treadmill, and a gym buddy appeared, and he wanted to talk. So I got a 10 minute jog, failed…

Exercise - Sure did! Managed to knock out a 45 minute treadmill jog, plus about two hours total walking to and from the office. Calories - No. But, I'm okay with it - I didn't feed myself properly during the day, and it's my own fault. Tracked - I tracked using a generic entry, which is not okay, but kept me in the habit.

Good morning, good morning, good morning! Happy Hump Day!!!!!!! I'm Down Under so I run on a different timeline, so forgive me for posting what might seem like at the wrong time. It's currently 11:30am Exercised: Yes! Not active cardio, but I did the 12km hike from my house along all the beaches and the lighthouse near my…

Yes you are!! Just jump back on tomorrow ... and take just a moment to problem solve the binge to see if there is anything you can learn. Then move on. It was just one blip in the marathon of healthy living.[/quote] Thank you. This really made me smile and feel better/more empowered. WE'VE GOT THIS, TEAM! :D :D :D :D

I actually don't agree with the phrasing of having to "redeem myself", but I DID feel more in control of my choices! :)

Exercised: Bench Press 1RM testing day. Didn't do as well as I'd hoped, maxed out just before 50kg. DAMNIT, DAMNIT, DAMNIT. Calories: Not quite, but all whole foods - vegetable soup, butter, and a 28oz steak (OMAD) Tracked: Yeah, but only after MFP came back online :D

November 6: Exercised: A 2 hour walk with about 10 minutes of jogging interspersed in between Calories: Christ, no. Work afternoon tea that I did SO SO SO well on, I even brushed my teeth to not-snack, and then I got up a few hours after to get some water...and...yeah. I feel like a bit of a failure. I did this to myself,…

I binged on snackes and nibblies at a work afternoon tea today. Then it was the butter + peanut butter (the terrible kind - not the natural kind) and the nuts and the candy. Goddamnit, self. You're better than this.

Sunday: Exercised: OMG YES FINALLY (but not for long enough). A 15 minute jog and a 30 minute walk Calories: Over, BUT it was all protein and good day based - almost no sugar-carbs so I'm taking that as a partial win Tracked: Sure did.

Day 3 SIT-REP: Exercise: one person flight, half hour walk. Atrocious, and I can feel it Calories: Over, due to dehydration and not eating during the day in the sun. Mostly whole foods, though, so I could have done worse Tracking: I sure did! I'm constantly surprised at how one handful of dried fruit is so, so, so…

Exercised: Not enough. An hour long walk, but that's too low for me. Stuck within budget: haaaaahahahahahahaaaaaaa Tracked: Yes! Because of having spent the day standing around in hot, hot, hot sunlight, I didn't get to exercise at ALL. I live for summer, but I hate just 'standing' in it. I need to move through it. So,…

Exercise: Yup! 1 hour walk, 15 minute jog (lumbering waddle, more like) Calories: Just out, and too high on carbs. Didn't eat throughout the day, so I'm proud of the fact that made good protein and fibre choices, but weakened out after dinner on some cookies. Otherwise, actually quite proud of what I did. Tracked: Sure…

Hiya! *waves* This is my first time being involved in any part of the MFP community despite being an old-guard member. I'm a powerlifting, boxing, running, indoor climbing, tennis, hiking, horseriding, and general-outdoors fanatic. I love food and sun. Went from 308lb (too wide) to 130lb (too narrow), developed some…
