Username: bootssowhite Week: October, November Week 2 Weigh in day: Sunday PW: 264.8 CW: 267.2 One thing I did well: Bah One thing to improve: I really need to work on sticking to a meal plan, which will be extra difficult this week since I'm traveling. Goal: I'm running a 5K in 3 weeks, and I want to be in the 250s when I…

Username: bootssowhite Week: November, Week 1 (I think, I get confused on the weeks) Weigh in day: Sunday PW: 263 lb CW: 264.8 lb One thing I did well: I think I did a pretty good job of controlling snacking and keeping from binging in the face of a rough week. One thing to improve: I was on vacation last weekend, so I…

@AB0215 I posted my weight for this week back on Sunday. I am going to be late next week, though. I'm out of town this weekend. Well fam, it's not been the best of weeks. I made the rookie mistake of going to the grocery store hungry on Tuesday and have been eating my way out of this mistake since then. I'm taking solace…

Daily Post (Monday Track: Yes Calories: Right at, including exercise calories Exercise: C25K Week 5, Day 1 Healthier habits: I was mad productive today. Didn't quite finish the week's meal prep, but I have a plan to finish it tomorrow. Goals or Day: I signed up for a 5K race today! I know it's recommended to sign up for a…

Username: bootssowhite Week: October, Week 4 Weigh in day: Sunday PW: 264.2 CW: 263 One thing I did well: Finished C25K Week 4. Of course, that means I'm now on week 5, which looks tough. One thing to improve: Sticking with a meal plan. I didn't do my meal prep last weekend, and it really showed in how I ate this week.…

Username: bootssowhite Week: October, Week 3 Weigh in day: Sunday PW: 264.4 CW: 264.2 Bah, I'm frustrated. I felt like this week was the first time in a while I strung together a string of good days -- I finished C25K Week 3 despite some scheduling difficulties, I stuck to my goal of no snacking while in the car over three…

Username: bootssowhite Week: October, Week 2 Weigh in day: Sunday PW: 262.6 CW: 264.4 One thing I did well: I finished C25K Week 2. One thing to improve: Sometime I noticed when I first started dieting over a year ago was that I did so much mindless snacking while driving, even fairly short distances. I made a rule saying…

b]Username:[/b] bootssowhite Week: (super belated) October Week 1 PW: 262.6 CW: 261.6 ________________________ Daily Post (Thursday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: Yes, finished C25K week 2! Healthier habits: Despite sleeping terribly the past few nights, I made myself go on a run today, and feel better for it. It…

@Pearl4686 and @johicks I'm so sorry I missed last week's weigh-in. I had out-of-town guests and it completely slipped my mind. Can I still put in a late weigh-in?

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, September Week 4 PW: 263.8 CW: 262.6 One thing I did well: So, this week was hectic and stressful--thanks, Tropical Storm Imelda--and I did a good job of the stress eating. One thing to improve: I did less well once the storm had passed. I made the mistake of going to the grocery store…

I've done C25K before and loved it, and loved running in general. I'm excited that I've finally dropped back down to a weight where I feel like my joints can handle it again. Of course, Tropical Storm Imelda hit the Houston area this afternoon and they're predicting 5-15 inches of rain over the next three days, so I'm…

Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: Yes. I decided to start C25K about ten minutes into a walk this morning and finished the first day. I'd been planning on waiting until the heat broke, at least a little, to start running again, so we'll see if I can keep this up. Healthier habits: I finished all my…

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, September Week 3 PW: 258.8 CW: 263.8 *sigh* This is a bit of an artificial gain than I suspect will come off pretty quickly. I ate out almost every day last week, which is super unusual for me. It wasn't planned, just sorta how events fell together this week, and my weight always leaps…

Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: Yes, two laps around the walking trail at the park Healthier habits: I got the day's exercise out of the way first thing in the morning both days this weekend (my weekend's Sunday-Monday). Won't happen during the week, but I should make that my goal on the weekends,…

@Jovsfood Meal prep is essential for me. I make a couple of meals over the weekend, portion out the left overs and then eat from my fridge all week long. It's a lifesaver. @Pearl4686 I know that feeling. It's so hard to get back on track when you screw up midday. I know that's why people say to count calories no matter…

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, September Week 2 PW: 266.6 CW: 258.8 One thing I did well: My goal was to be purposeful in my eating this week, and I did that. Even when I went over my calories, it wasn't a binge. I decided what I was okay with eating, and then stopped once I'd eaten that. One thing to improve: As…

Daily Post (Wednesday) Track: Yes Calories: Over by 83 calories Exercise: Not today Healthier habits: I've been sleeping really poorly this week. It's currently 8:30 and I'm starting to get ready for bed. I can't always control how much sleep I'm going to get, but I can make sure I give myself plenty of time to try and get…

Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: Yes, an hour walk. Healthier habits: I got my exercise out of the way first thing in the morning instead of waiting until the afternoon when it was hot(er) and I was busy. It won't happen during the week (I'm off on Mondays), but it's a good way to ensure that I get…

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, September Week 1 PW: 265.6 CW: 266.6 No an ideal week. I've felt very out of control with my eating. There are a bunch of changes happening at work, which has meant retirement parties and going away lunches and cookies and cake and chips everywhere. Combine that with already being on a…

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, August Week 4 (I think, I've lost track of the weeks) PW: 262.8 CW: 265.6 One thing I did well: ugh One thing to improve: I did not have a great week. Work was brutal, I worked a million hours and ended up binging on junk in the evenings. I feel gross and bloated and next week is likely…

Whoops, forgot to finish posting this last night. Sorry. Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, August Week 3 (8/18) PW: 260.4 lb CW: 262.8 lb One thing I did well: Things have been bananas at work, so I've certainly gotten plenty of exercise this week. (Although I also broken my toe this week, so maybe that isn't good...)…

Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: Yes; went for a walk this evening Healthier habits: Closed the kitchen down after dinner. I still had the munchies after dinner, but I wasn't actually hungry. I was so tempted to get something else to snack on, but instead I made myself clean the kitchen and brush my…

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, August Week 3 PW: 259.8 lb CW: 260.4 lb One thing I did well: I stuck to my meal plan this week. I was off work, which means my normal routine was tossed out the window, but at the start of the week I planned out what I was going to eat every day and I stuck to that. One thing to…

Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: No. This is my first summer in Houston, and I was unprepared for just how inconvenient the heat is. Even if I wanted to go out for a walk, I need to put on sunscreen, change into something I don't mind getting gross and sweaty and then take a shower afterwards.…

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, August Week 5 (8/4) PW: 267.8 CW: 259.8 One thing I did well: not letting small setbacks derail me long term One thing to improve: I'm on staycation for most of next week. I'm planning on visiting a bunch of places around Houston, but I need to make sure to avoid eating out too much,…

Daily Post (Friday) Track: No Calories: Definitely over Exercise: Yes - general brisk walking about at work Goals or Day: So, we took my intern out to lunch at a Mexican restaurant for her last day at work. It took an hour and a half for our food to arrive, but we had a never-ending parade of chips and dip at the table. I…

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, August Week 1 (7/28) PW: 265.8 CW: 267.8 One thing I did well: I climbed Enchanted Rock, a nearly 2,000 ft mountain, on Friday! A year ago, I don't think I could have done it, and I would have never attempted it. I had to stop a few times to breath on the way up, but at no point did I…

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, July 21 (5/26) PW: 267.4 CW: 265.8 One thing I did well: Not letting last week's setback throw me off track. I went back to counting calories and limiting my snacking. One thing to improve: I'm going to be out of town for part of next week, which means eating out three meals a day. I…

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, May 14 (Week 3) PW: 266 lb CW: 267.4 lb One thing I did well: Well, not much. I guess continuing to weigh in and report the gain. One thing to improve: Way too much snacking last week. Like, the sort where I stopped at the store on the way home to get junk food. I need to reign that in…

Username: bootssowhite Week: Sunday, July 7 (Week 2) PW: 268.4 lb CW: 266.0 lb 🙌🏼 One thing I did well: Man, it's hard to narrow it down to one thing; this week went pretty well. I proud that started counting calories again. I also did a good job of getting back on track quickly when things started to go off the rails. In…
