Meh, it's better to go by NSV. How do you feel? How do your clothes fit? It's a much better gauge of progress.

I did really well this weekend, and tried a couple of new recipes. I did all my exercise and drank plenty of water.

So, the doctor has me on some new medication that makes me hungry as all get out. I did not resist temptation the way I should have, and went way over my calories. However, tomorrow is a new day, and I don't see why this has to keep me from achieving my goals. Other than that, I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and 30…

I'm up to 12 cups of water, but…

My friends call me Neeko. I'm on MFP to keep track of calories, because I overeat if I don't log. I love to dress like a gypsy for Halloween. I have a restless soul, so I think it suits me. I'd like to lose ten more pounds by the end of October.

I'd like to take up yoga, but I've worried that I need to go to a class. Can I just follow a youtube routine, or do I need to go to the class and make sure I can do it right?

I'm going to sound dumb, but what exactly is weeds and seeds? I've seen that a few times and I'm curious.

My motto for the day is what you eat in private you wear in public. It helps me to remind myself to log my calories. I still ate them even if I would feel guilty about logging them. It helps me make better choices. For breakfast I had a chia seed and turkey sausage omelet, for lunch I had celery and a vegan black bean…

Food has been good. Scrambled eggs with turkey bacon and an apple for breakfast, subway club with veg for lunch, leftover grilled chicken, brown rice, and roasted broccoli for dinner. I've had 8 glasses of water, but I've got a metric ton of homework, so the night's still early. I did my 30 minutes on the elliptical this…

My motivation comes from fat shaming, like part of Ricky Gervais' routine: "I laugh about being fat, but I should be ashamed. I should walk down the street and have people shouting 'Fatty!'. That's what I want, to get me out of it." It never fails to get me on the elliptical at 4 am. So far, so good on water. Turkey bacon,…

Edit: Got really busy with homework and never got around to starting my squat challenge. I'll have to start it tonight. Ugh...Everytime I think I've taken a step forward, life gets in the way and I end up three steps back.

I started a 30 day squat challenge today, so I did 20 squats. I had a granola bar for breakfast, a plain bean burrito for lunch, and homemade turkey chili for dinner, with a half ounce of beef jerkey and greek yogurt for my two snacks. I'm up to ten glasses of water, but I still have a couple of hours of homework, so…

The hardest part of staying healthy on weekends is the lack of structure in the day. Durning weekdays everything is planned since I have to be at certain places at certain times. I stay home most every weekend, so there is no such structure. I at least try and keep the diet, and Sunday is my exercise-free day. I'm not…

Late check in. Sorry I haven't been accountable for the last few days. My keyboard quit on me, and I was too busy to replace it. I'm so very thankful for a supportive so. He makes helps me celebrate milestones, and doesn't let me get too depressed when I mess up. He's so very good to me. I did really great on water and…

I've done pretty good this weekend. I've managed to stay under my calorie goals, and exercised yesterday. Sunday is my free day, but I still got a bit of a workout at the mall today, lol. I did great on water as well.

“In a child’s eyes, a mother is a goddess. She can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way. I am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe.” ― N.K. Jemisin I am so very thankful that the week is over! I had fried rice and an egg for breakfast, chicken and…

On the one hand, I bombed the exam, on the other I had plenty of water, I came in under 1300 calories, and I did my workout this morning. I guess you win some, you lose some. I'm not sure what a challenge is, so I have nothing to report on that front.
-
Ugh. Today was pretty bad. I'm stressing over an exam I have tomorrow, and I tend to binge when I'm stressed. I went way over my calorie allotment today. Hopefully I can do better tomorrow.
-
I did really well today. I managed to come in at right around 1200 calories, and I powered through this morning's workout, so I feel pretty good about life, the universe, and everything. My goal is to start adding resistance training to my daily cardio within the next two weeks.

Hi! My name is Neeko, and my I'm new to the group. My favorite fall foods are homemade chili and stews. I don't really have any fall activities, but I'm a student, so school keeps me pretty busy. My goal is to lose at least 20 pounds by Christmas.
