Still truckin' along!

Working on Meal Prep again!

When meal prep works so well, why do I neglect it sometimes?! Ugh. SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: 329 Week 26: 326 Week 25: 329 Week 24: 327 Week 23: 322 Week 22: 322 Week 21: 318 Week 20: 317 Week 19: 314 Week 18: 323 Week 17: 320 Week 16: 318 Week 15: 320 Week 14: 322 Week 13: 318 Week 12: 311…

So prepping meals and eating less candy works! haha! I'm sure it was the meal prep. SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: 329 Week 26: 326 Week 25: 329 Week 24: 327 Week 23: 322 Week 22: 322 Week 21: 318 Week 20: 317 Week 19: 314 Week 18: 323 Week 17: 320 Week 16: 318 Week 15: 320 Week 14: 322 Week 13: 318…

When I use almond milk, it's thicker. There's a thing called fluff that uses xanthan gum, google it. People use it to create protein like fluffiness to eat instead of to drink. I haven't tried it. I use 2% milk most of the time and the protein brand I prefer is Matrix, it's thick when you keep the portions right; like 1cup…

I had dinners prepped all week, and lunches too, and the results were much better. Also less candy. I'm disheartened that I got sidetracked for so long. But I feel back on track now with meal prep being a priority. SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: 329 Week 26: 326 Week 25: 329 Week 24: 327 Week 23:…

I haven't been logging anything because I don't have a phone and can't access the app. The website is clumsy and slow, and I can only access it at home. Regardless, I had a crappy week because of poor meal prep and planning, and I had too much access to chocolate. I need to do better prep and meal planning. It's…

Ugh! I guess this is that "plateau" situation. Time to shake it up, there might be tears. I know how this works, I know how to work it, it's time to put my head down and get down to business!

I hope next week better reflects y efforts.

I'm going to make a "generous pint" of gelatin and keep it somewhere so I can feel better about smaller amounts of weight! I don't know about you, but I like taking up less space! "According to Density - The Physics Hypertextbook both body fat and olive oil have a density of .918 g/cm3. So a pound, 453.592 g, occupies…

Welcome new people! Back on track this week. Almost waited till tomorrow to weigh in, but figured it won't get much better than 3 lbs. I'm happy with my loss this week, just sorry it's the same 3 lbs that I lost a few weeks ago. SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: 329 Week 26: 326 Week 25: 329 Week 24:…

It seems some of my posts didn't post, I'm not neglecting you I promise! I had to recreate some weeks where I lost weight. Unfortunately, this week looks really bad. It must be the Christmas fudge sneaking up on me. I have to be ever vigilant! The fudge is going in the garbage I'm sorry to say. SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29:…

"That which lies within our power to do, also lies within our power not to do." ~Aristotle This helps prevent me from making poor choices. I lost 26 lbs in 10 weeks over Thanksgiving & Christmas, which I think is pretty spectacular, so I'm going to keep doing that. I'm adding regular (dog) walks to January just for the…

I don't know about you guys but I feel really good about having stuck this out 10 weeks! I'm looking forward to the next 10 weeks! I've cut out one of my sources of sugar so I hope to see an extra pound here and there gone! Happy New Year!!

It's been all I can do to offset the sweets by giving up real food. So wrong. I only have one more sweets scenario to navigate and I can't wait until it's over!! Next week promises to be strictly on plan. SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: 329 Week 26: 326 Week 25: 329 Week 24: 327 Week 23: 322 Week 22:…

Making Christmas cookies is hard. I expect the next two weeks to go smoothly. Then it's time for the new year, with new resolve! SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: 329 Week 26: 326 Week 25: 329 Week 24: 327 Week 23: 322 Week 22: 322 Week 21: Week 20:

My scale gives me a wrong reading sometimes. What I usually do is move it a little bit then step back on it lightly, holding on to something, then once it gets closer to my real weight I Let Go. My scale only holds up to 350 and when I'm closer to that, it's been less reliable. Make sure it's on a hard surface and nothing…

2 weeks of super strict 1200-1400 calories! That was challenging but fruitful. It never ceases to amaze me how little food we actually need to sustain proper nutrition. Hopefully by the time I reach my goal weight, I will have become use to eating like this. I feel kind of sad to have to change my relationship with donuts.…

I also pre cook for the week. I always vary the chicken. I make 2 chicken breast, one might be lemon chicken the other would be tarragon or bbq. Try to find a breakfast that you look forward to, rather than a breakfast that fits your nutritional profile. I used to have peanut butter for breakfast, now I'm really into my…

Soup or chili.

I was very strict this week, I hope to see it on the scale next week! Two pounds is great even if it doesn't put me back to pre-Thanksgiving weight. SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: 329 Week 26: 326 Week 25: 329 Week 24: 327 Week 23: Week 22: Week 21: Week 20:

Welcome!!

My calories were on point, but the foods from which they came were not. :'( SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: 329 Week 26: 326 Week 25: 329 Week 24: Week 23: Week 22: Week 21: Week 20

Steady. I love the results when I'm disciplined, but it's so hard to stay motivated at every temptation! SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: 329 Week 26: 326 Week 25: Week 24: Week 23: Week 22: Week 21: Week 20

Have a great week everyone! You know what you need to do!

Small potatoes compared to last week, but a loss is a loss! SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: 229 Week 26: Week 25: Week 24: Week 23: Week 22: Week 21: Week 20

I had an epic week! I wish every week could be like this! My secret weapon was a loss of appetite due to stress. I don't recommend it. SW 343 Week 30: 340 Week 29: 338 Week 28: 330 Week 27: Week 26: Week 25: Week 24: Week 23: Week 22: Week 21: Week 20

I'm my own best buddy. Nobody can do this for me.
