Snarkyfishguts Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 01/01- 229 01/08- 225.5 1/14 - 225.5 OOOOH a maintenance week. I worked out really hard this week so I have FANTASTIC MUSCLES! I also ate a LOT of pasta. It was a good week. This week, I'm going to work out less hard, but get more steps. I'll probably also have a little less pasta, and focus on getting enough protein for my FANTASTIC MUSCLES. 3 2 Quote Link to comment
deftona Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Jumping in here two weeks late given my back issues - I have been cleared to exercise if I can tolerate the pain which remains to be seen, but either way I am going to get my food in order as of tomorrow and my goal is to still lose 12 lbs by 18th March.

Weigh-in got postponed from Friday to Monday because I had to get up extra early on Friday and Saturday - and I have a new phone that wasn't paired with the scale yet so I figured it would take longer. Saturday then was pretty food-heavy, so I opted to wait until today for the weigh-in. While a loss of 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs) is not a bad result at all, it's actually on the low side for a first respawn week for me, especially considering my calorie intake. So I'm hoping there's some residual bloat from Saturday... ? 5 Quote TimovieMan: funnier than you think he is; not as funny as he thinks he is...

Sovalis Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I'm up 1.4 lbs this week, my first gain in a while. It might be water from all the pizza and game snacks I had yesterday, things were pretty on point until that happened. I'm not worried about that as much as I'm feeling some blahs and noticing myself thinking "what's the point" a bit lately.

Friday morning I was down to 215.4, but after a jumbo Saturday my official weigh-in on Sunday morning was 217.5. I have elected to split the difference for this week. That 215 number was so pleasing that I decided to loosen up over the 3-day weekend (the end of Staycation), and it showed. I'll tighten the controls again, and I should be able to crack that 215 in the week ahead. 4 Quote He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

This is Monday's weight, despite the late post. Things have been a little iffy this week. Our pipes have been frozen so we've been rationing water. Food has been cozy soups which aren't ideal, but not horrible either. No workouts this week due to lack of water to shower after. Not going outside unless it's to refresh the heaters for the pumphouse (I've maintained a dribble and even had enough flow for a very lackluster shower for each of us by doing that!) or gather more firewood, certainly not to run! Hopefully we'll be above freezing, even overnight, starting Sunday so I guaranteed have a shower before I go and get sweaty. I'll be happy if I simply manage to maintain from this week to next. I need to plan out my meals and grocery list for next week here soon. I'm going to have to have some good food motivation to get my butt back in the grove of daily workouts after taking this cozy week off. Chilling by the fire in sweatpants and eating homemade soups and breads sounds loads better than going out into the cold to run hills! 5 1 Quote You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than you were before.

TimovieMan Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Whoops, forgot to post on Friday when I did the weigh-in. 05/01: 95.90 kg / 211.4 lbs 15/01: 95.20 kg / 209.9 lbs 19/01: 94.15 kg / 207.6 lbs (- 1.05 / - 2.3) These were pretty much the results I had expected the previous week, so... back on track? This was despite a week of lower activity. Because of the snow and icy conditions, there were fewer walks than usual, especially on Wednesday to Friday, which are generally the days where I get the most walking done. And I opted to work from home on both Thursday and Friday because Belgium doesn't exactly have a good track record of keeping smaller roads and bike paths clear when it has snowed. I had no intention of risking falling with my bike, so working from home was safer. But working from home - especially if I don't go on walks either - leads to very few steps and very little calorie expenditure... Sunday was a meet-up with our friends at our place, so it turned into a food extravaganza as usual. And now we have plenty of leftovers in the house, so next week's results are going to be iffy... ? 5 Quote TimovieMan: funnier than you think he is; not as funny as he thinks he is...
