RES Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 In continuing with my quarter long challenges (because I'm kinda lazy like that) our goals are still: Gym 3x/week Food 5x/week, would be 7 but let's be realistic Nerd Fitness 3x/week posting something/somewhere doesn't have to be my own thread, hopefully this will become a daily habit again. Tracking spreadsheet is in the signature Gym has been a struggle, I am committing to doing this in the evening if my other half doesn't get up with me in the morning to go. Food...probably could be better but not horrible, my job is quite social and since being back in FL I've reconnected with a lot of friends and activities I enjoy. Been making it a habit to check on here more, having something to say doesn't always come easy to me though. Not sure what's going on with me lately, I haven't been doing that bad with my eating and have been better about not overdoing it, but I really need/want to lose weight and it's been just the opposite. I have fallen off a lot worse than I have been here lately so not sure what's up. Nothing I've been doing justifies a 15 lb gain in two months! This needs to get under control and quick! 8 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!

T2sarahconnor Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I see your 15 and raise you another 7. Maybe you gained as sympathetic pounds with me and my recovery? I am putting the pedal to the metal and driving the weightloss home this challenge. I don't eat "bad" but I think quantity and too many carbs for a girl my age. 2 Quote Level 36 Ranger Sorcerer Current challenge Link to comment

RES Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 So I did a thing...after being here almost 4 years I joined the Academy Something I've thought about doing for a while and I think it will help me be more realistic about what I'm doing wrong and areas to change. I'll be adding the missions from there as additional challenge goals here. My lovely wife was sick last week...and even though I had no desire for her to do so she shared her germs with me. I don't remember the last time I even had the sniffles and I worked in a hospital for two years! Which was fine because I'm a horrible sick person. Challenge goals on zero week were two out of three (again)...must.find.gym.time! 6 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!

I did see her name...that group seems to be filled with very chatty women i don't know So one of the missions for the first week of the academy is to track your food...so I dusted off MFP...I think I may have found part of the problem! Holy shit I didn't realize how many calories some of the stuff I've been eating has...kind of depressing but at least lets me know where to make adjustments. Biggest adjustment is going to be not letting my wife get breakfast from Sonic! I may try just eating twice a day and see how that works...lunch seems to be getting later and later for me because I'm trying to wait till I'm hungry, then I'm not really hungry at dinner but have to cook for her. Maybe just eat breakfast later Meeting today for my not for profit that I really wish had been last weekend! I just want to sit home today...Didn't really want to start this off by feeling like warmed over poo, but it is what it is...food prep and shower first though...then we'll see about gym or a walk 3 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!

Mistr Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Following! Glad to see that you have a possible culprit for the mystery weight gain. I'm interested in hearing how you like NF Academy. I hope that will help give you a community to work out with and share support when your wife is not onboard. Feel better soon! 1 Quote Level 71 Viking paladin My current challenge Battle log Link to comment

RES Posted October 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 So yesterday was the FL/GA football game that is played in EverBank field across the street from where I work...we had a big Captain Morgan event at our stadium and the wife and I volunteered to check ID's...selfies were taken Also one of me with the Captain, this guy was nuts! Today was the EverGreen 5k, nice, brisk walk through the cemetery on a chilly October morning was actually a lot of fun! And I used 20 SEC today and signed up for this https://www.ilovekickboxing.com/ Otherwise everything has been going okay except for workouts (hope to change that) food wasn't perfect this week due to early bday celebrations but not going to beat myself up over it! 6 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!
