I got back into some old habits this weekend. I had a bad day on Saturday and the free for all continued right up through Monday (we had that day off in Massachusetts, its a holiday). I can't really change what happened, but I'm determined to get back and to lose the weight I've gained from it.
Early on in this process, the bad days happened at a greater frequency. Recently, these have been few and far between. I'm happy about that and now its time to just get back on my routine and continue to do what has been working for me.
Anybody else having a bad time recently? Would you like to join me in a 10 day challenge? If I can make the next 10 days on program and do the right things, I think I should be back where I started if not into new territory. Anybody else want to commit to making it 10 days? (May 1st).
I have been doing good but would love the challenge!! Im working so hard to get back where I was a this time last year. I do tend to eat off on the weekends so this is just what i need to keep me focused!!
I didn't go wildly off, but for me, that is even worse, it's that insidious drift back into old habits that is my downfall. For the past couple of weeks, I was starting to head down that path - just tiny little steps but I know I could keep going if I let myself or didn't pay enough attention. NOT THIS TIME! My mantra is "glue" because I'm back sticking to my plan like it and have been since Monday.
The weekend was a bad one for me as well. After spending two weeks going up and down the same pound (about 215.2), I went a little crazy. I ate terribly Saturday and Sunday!!! And I probably drank more alcohol than water when out with my friends... Monday morning my weight was up 5 pounds... (220.4) I got back on plan and this morning I am about 1.6 lbs higher than I had been last week. (216.8) So... I'm definately in on the 10 day challenge!
Awesome! Thanks everyone. . I'll probably just quickly comment on this thread every day till May 1st just to keep me accountable and to let you know how I did. Please do the same!
10 days? i am SO IN Matt! I drank my freaking FACE off last weekend and though I don't know if I gained weight (not weighing) I DO know that sodium bloat was BAD and I ONLY have until May 1st when my month long "no weigh" challenge is over!
I'm in too. I have been doing great with exercise, but making up for it with eating more....grrrr.
So I am not leaving this computer until I plan out the next ten days so I can grocery shop for healthy ingredients tomorrow.
Thanks Matt, I need the
Count me in too. I've been trying to get on board, but I do better if I feel I'm with other folks.
I'd love it if everyone posted their food diaries! Bring on the pears!
some numbers to remind myself of why I needed this thread.
On 4/10, I made it down to my current low of 221.8. Yesterday, I was all the way back up to 226.4, which is a number I hadn't seen since sometime in March. I think part of that was so water weight because I had gone up 1 lb overnight and was back down 1.2 today - so I know that's not a real gain or loss, but still, it's what the scale said and why I need to really, really commit to this and keep the downward trend that started today going and going.

This is a lot of food for me as I don't always have one snack in a day, let alone 3!! Still came in at 1457 calories. I'm working on spacing out my food slightly differently including more snacks, and eating towards the higher end of my range now that I'm getting up at 5 am to work out every morning.
Pre-work out snack: banana
breakfast: 1 lowfat nutrigrain waffle, 2 hardboiled egg whites
snack: Light & Fit yogurt
lunch: 3 c raw spinach with a bunch of veggies, 4 oz chicken, 1/2 avocado, 1 hardboiled egg, dressing, Bacos and medium whole wheat pita
supper: homemade chicken soup with 1 oz (measured dry) egg noodles, 4 oz chicken and 1.5 cup broccoli
snack: 1 cup watermelon
bad weekend, but I'm back (10 day challenge?)
