2fat2jump: I hadn't noticed that you hit 100 pounds lost! Wow, that's so amazing! You must just feel so awesome!!
I didn't have a great weigh in today, but I wasn't too surprised. I went up by 1.6 pounds. I had lost so much last week, that it just didn't seem right, so I thought my body my re-adjust some, plus TOM might have something to do with it, too. So, it's ok. I guess.
I've officially hit that part of my cycle some here affectionately refer to as "shark week." I've been eating a salad every day for lunch for weeks, but I couldn't do it yesterday. It just seemed so unappetizing. Instead I made microwaved popcorn, 3tb popcorn and a tsp of olive oil in a paper bag. Not the healthiest lunch, but it helped with the junk food cravings. Until about an hour later. haha Uh, stupid hormones!
I bought a new workout to try - Chalean Extreme. I had planned on starting it this week, but I may wait until next week. My body is just not up to it right now. I have been doing lots of Zumba though and in no way am I sitting out. Just taking a low intensity week until my energy levels return.
Weight is still the same, but that's fine with me. As long as I'm still at that 100lb loss marker. I probably won't have another big whoosh like that until next month. I'll have to remind myself of this in about 3 weeks when I'm about to lose my mind from not losing. haha
Slashnl : good job not be deterred by a discouraging weigh-in. You're right, your body is just adjusting and that 1.6 fluctuation will go right back down. Spin class sounds like a lot of fun!
Hi, Calluna! Happy to see you step forward. We're all in this together afterall!
Hi Calluna! Glad you're speaking out now! Look forward to getting to know you!
2Fat2Jump: Sounds like a good workout... anything with "extreme" in the title is a little scary! Gotta be ready for that.
Not much going on with me. Plugging along. I had a crappy attitude yesterday and was feeling tired, but today is better. When I was going home, I kept thinking about how I was tired of always thinking about staying on plan, etc. But, I also know that there isn't a choice here. I have to keep thinking about it if I'm going to meet goals. I think it was just a bad day. Most of the time I don't have a problem with keeping track of calories and making sure I exercise. Not an issue today!!
I've been going through a few crazy weeks where I decided to not worry with food and I've ended up gaining 10 lbs. I know most is probably water weight but it has put me back up to 251. I'm so ready for this pregnancy to be over with so I can have my body back.
Nagazim- Pregnancy is indeed a bit of a monkey-wrench for the body! Glad you're doing your best to be mindful and take care of your body during the pregnancy.
As for me, I'm still moving along. It's been a good week in general - getting some exercise, though I need more, and eating well. Look forward to the next weight decade!
Calluna: You are getting close to the 250's! Good for you!
Nagazim: Hang in there. I know there are people who just loved being pregnant... I was not one of them. It really does a number on your body, even though it is worth the damage!
Sneaked a peek at the scale today, it looked pretty good. I'll need to stay focused through the weekend, though. With Easter and my daughter's birthday, it will take a lot of discipline. Love good holiday food...and cake. I'll hit the gym tomorrow morning for a spin class, so that should help.
I did pretty well for most of the day. I know my body does best with lower carb intake. I was losing like a machine before I got pregnant sticking to under 30 carbs/day and know I can't do that now because the pregnancy requires the extra. I'm going to try aiming for 80ish and see how I do. I don't look forward to the withdrawal lol.
Hello, all! I had an NSV yesterday - and perhaps today. We were out of town yesterday running errands in Anchorage (a 3 hr drive away). Of course that means eating out... I had probably a little extra sodium, but avoided junk food and ate within the parameters that I need to.
And another... today is easter and I've stayed out of the baskets.
Hi everyone. Had a good weekend, only indulged a little. I came through with a 1.4 pound loss. I was hoping for more, but that's ok, too. As long as it is a loss, I'm glad.
Okay, so I gained a bunch of weight back. I'm back again for some support (giving and getting). My work habits are out of control (working way too much), stress is giving me a bad case of the sugar-cravies, I just lost my father and I'm heartsick. I'm not even ready to eat healthy this week. I know I have a project due Friday and I don't even have time to go grocery shopping for healthy food. I'm going to whole foods and the grocery Sunday night, though. In my calendar, in ink.
I did decide that I need to move everyday NO MATTER WHAT. I need it to throw off this daze of sadness and get my body working again. I'm going to post everyday exactly what "moving" went on with me!
Today, I did Leslie's Pilates DVD. I made it through the first mile.
Hope to get to know you guys so we can share the journey.
MissKoo, I remember you. Welcome, hello, and while I'm sorry to hear of your sadness I agree that movement and community may help. It is good to see you.
