It's been rough. I am working crazy hours and have been sick this week. Tomorrow we are going to Disneyland! It is pretty rainy here, but hopefully tomorrow won't be too bad. Definitely starting to look pregnant! Hoping everyone is doing well! Hopefully next week I will will spend some hours on the treadmill desk and maybe…

I have been doing much better. Gym has not been happening between not getting great sleep and working from 8 am to 9/10pm. I am determined to go tomorrow morning. Weight is up 2.5 pounds since my doctor appointment about a month ago. The doctor said that was perfect. The last two days I have been starving. All the time!…

Finally made it back to the gym today. Did some fast walking on the treadmill and then the elliptical for a while. Might try to go to barre class this weekend. I have not really been tracking my food. I have been trying to make better choices now that I have been feeling better. I have been at 133.4 pounds for the last few…

Working 8-8/830 has been killing me. I am so tired all the time. I am hoping to go to the gym tomorrow morning (taking it easy). Hopefully get more unpacking done tonight. I have just been so drained. Going to tell work next Monday, assuming things go well with my ultrasound on Friday. Hopefully I can smooth out my work…

Sorry for not checking in. I was moving this weekend and Friday did not go well. "Morning" sickness prevented me from going into work. Did not work out, but did lots of moving. So that counts right? I still have a lot of unpacking to do. I think this week, between trying to make up work (especially since it is busy season)…

Another rough day....missed my workout. I might leave work early today...hoping to hit the gym tomorrow morning.

Went to the gym today. Treadmill and stationary bike. Might swim tomorrow. Food should be within limits today. Will hopefully remember pull out my scale tonight so I weigh in tomorrow. Probably TMI, but my weight has been fluxing way more than normal. Like a few days I will look pregnant from all the bloat, constipation…

Packed this weekend. I guess since I have not been able to manage strength training for the last month or so, my muscles are a bit sore from packing. Did not make it to the gym this morning. I just was not feeling well. I almost did not make it into work today. I feel a lot better now, but did not pack gym clothes, since…

So I weighed in today (even though yesterday was a bit high on the calories). I came in at 131.8, which I thought could happen, since the past few days I have been on a more reasonable diet and the 136 was taken after eating and drinking. So I am changing my month end goal from 135 to 132. I think I might be able to drop…

Today has been rough. Could not go to the gym this morning. Haven't felt this bad in a while. Food is a little high, but now that I'm feeling a bit better I am going to try to walk it off tonight. Hopefully I will be successful. Hopefully the next few days will be better. I need to finish packing this weekend! Becs - great…

Cycled on the stationary bike at a moderate pace and walked on a treadmill a bit this morning. Nothing too crazy. It is so hard to get up early and go to the gym these days. Had a pretty healthy day planned, but was derailed a bit at lunch. Hopefully I should not be too over with calories today. Have to run a few errands…

Went swimming this morning. I went pretty slow, since I have not done laps in years. Just did 1,100 meters over 45 minutes. I enjoyed it and will probably do it again. At least for now, I don't think I can make it through a lot of classes and need to go a bit easier. Food is a lot better today, than in weeks. Definitely…

Sorry everyone! This Christmas break has been pretty hectic. I have not moved yet, but I am 80% packed. Need to be out by the 15th! Got married on the 1st and had my first ultrasound today! I have not weighed in at my normal time for a few weeks. This weekend, I will hope on the scale. I was weighed at my doctor's…

Congrats Rinde! You are so awesome. My weigh in went quite the opposite. I was at 131.8 this morning. But I know a good amount of it is likely water weight, because of the huge increase in carbs (especially since that is really the only thing I can stomach right now.) I think once I add back in more veggies and proteins,…

Sorry I went missing. I have just been feeling so awful. Haven't made it to the gym yet. Hope to go tomorrow morning. Food has been all over the place. Total mess right now. I am so glad you are doing so well Rinde! That's a lot of miles! Hope you enjoyed the holiday concert!

Great job! So exhausted today. food was off because of a lunch with clients. Just so much to do! Feeling a bit overwhelmed and my vacation coming up will be so busy I can hardly call it a vacation! Missed the swim class I was supposed to take this morning (got the times mixed up.) Did not work out. There is no way I am…

Wow! You are so amazing! At this rate, you are going to pass me by the end of the year! Wow! 31 degrees! Here I am complaining about the 63 degree weather here! This weekend we had my Company's holiday party and there was lots of food had. Also, went a bit crazy yesterday too. I won't have access to a scale until this…

Spent 30 minutes on the stationary bike today. Hopefully I can start going back to some of my classes soon, but I just have been so exhausted. Food has been healthy (though none of it home cooked). Definitely needed to get back on the veggie train. I realized I had been eliminating some veggies to have more calorie dense…

Great job! You are so close to your original goal! Soon you will pass me and I started less than you!!!! I am a little worried. Weighed myself after a big breakfast and was only at 127.4 (I usually weigh first thing in the morning.) That means I have lost a bit of weight in the last 8 days, since that was what I weighed on…

Well I did not make it to barre last night (had some blood drawn and was extra tired). I think for a while I need to change to morning workouts. My commute has shortened enough that I can be at the gym at say 7 and work out. I did make it to the gym this morning. Pushed through 30 minutes of stationary bike. Definitely…

Congrats! You are so awesome. I am glad you are back doing your weights and yoga! Also, thank you so much. I will weigh in on Saturday. I am going to be moving in the next few weeks, so I don't have access to my scale right now. I will try to bring it down with me this weekend! I am not very hopeful for my weigh in. I am…

OH well! One day should not mess you up. Oreo cupcakes sound amazing! Your running goals sound amazing! I am sure you are going to run a 25 minutes race soon! You are so dedicated! Also, I am sure, losing these last few pounds will definitely help a bit! So the 8 pm bedtime will likely happen a lot more for the next few…

Don't worry! I am completely fine. Just need to lay off the dieting for a while. Yesterday did not go well at all at maintenance. I ate way over. Hopefully I can stay on track for the rest of the day (and more importantly the weekend.) Did not wind up going to Barre last night. I was kinda disappointed in myself since I…

Why not? She is not advocating it. She is asking about opinions about something she is struggling with?

I mean if it works for you, than more power to you. But I would never recommend an all dessert lifestyle. That would still not be good for your health overall, even if you got to a healthy weight. Since this has happened once, I would be hesitant to say that this will work for you in the long run, but if you can make it…

You technically can. But it isn't exactly healthful. If your only goal is to lose weight, or you only do this once in a while, then yes, this is fine. But a balanced diet will give you more energy, lower your chances of serious illness and will be easier to maintain over time (veggies bulk up the amount of food you eat and…

I would be very careful with this. When I had this issue, I did not notice that I had a full blown ED. How many calories are you getting a day and how often are you having days with no appetite? You night need to find ways to just force yourself to eat, if it is more than once in a while (like once or twice a month).

I do a lot of hard boiled eggs for breakfast. I also do overnight oat (sometimes with greek yogurt mixed in.) I find that if you put some sort of sauce (like salsa, red sauce, etc.) over scrambled eggs, they reheat nicely so I can do breakfast egg bowls with like bell peppers and onions, maybe some potatoes, and salsa or…

So I went to the doctor today and they told me for the time being, I need to stop trying to lose weight. If I lose a few pounds here or there, that is fine, and eventually I will be able to continue my weight loss journey. So I guess I am eating at maintenance. Still very worried I will wind up gaining weight. So my goal…

Great job Rinde! Fingers cross for you tomorrow! Can't wait to hear your next goals! I know you will rock your Friday run! How many mile are you running now?
