athousandwords Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 22 hours ago, Sovalis said: So I am up a huge amount this week, which I was expecting given that I went away for the weekend. Eating and movement are never on point when we go home. I had a great weekend though and had a significant NSV when I discovered that I am two t-shirt sizes smaller at Torrid than I was in December, so I’ll take it. I am also beginning to think that my 258 was an anomaly - I’ve seen 260 since then, but only once and the rest of the time I am hovering around 263. So maybe I celebrated too early? It doesn’t really matter, I suppose, just need to keep on keeping on. The NSVs are far more important than any number on a scale - and even more important than that is the consistency and dedication you keep putting in. You deserve your celebration; the scale will catch up! 1 Quote Level 19 Ravenclaw Rebel Fairy tales do not start, nor do they end, in the dark forest (Ted Lasso) COMPLETED CHALLENGES: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 13.5 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21/21 CURRENT CHALLENGE: Mindful Magic Link to comment
MezzothePatient Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 I did a weigh in Monday, but didn't report in. I've been battling a summer cold, complete with fever and congestion. Good times! ? 06/17: 164.0 06/24: 162.2 I attribute the difference to a post Father's Day high last week. We celebrated with friends who made ribs and we had key lime pie for dessert.

Darciana Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 Hiya!! I'm late to the party, sorry. In my defense, I was on vacation at the start and then it took a week to get back into the groove of things. I'm here now, that's what matters I suppose ? Since I was on vacation for the start, I put my pre-vacation weight from the Friday before as my start weight. I've been bouncing around a lot but there's been some wonky things going on. My Coach and I are working through them, though. This week she said she'll increase my macros a bit to see if that helps level things out. Good news is that today for leg day I hit a high weight on every exercise so I'm still improving bit by bit! Excited to see how my body responds to a bit more fuel. Hopefully good things.

I think that is making the scale happier. I saw 258 again yesterday, but I am fine with not seeing it today as long as I know it’s out there. I am still struggling with eating more than once a day and not really formatting my meal to make it a decent OMAD representation. The flip side of this is that I don’t really worry about overeating because as long as I am being reasonable, I’m not going over 2000 calories in a meal and I think my baseline is 2200 or whatever. I haven’t been tracking at all, can you tell? ? I know I should be formulating a plan for getting “better” results but I am honestly enjoying the no-stress that I have got going on right now. I might end up doing this for the summer and dialling in again come fall when all the summer produce fades and barbecuing gets paused again. We will see. Hope you are all having an easy time sticking to your goals! 2 Quote Past Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16 Current Challenge: #17 “Finish each day and be done with it.

I was with my college bestie and our eating habits did not mesh well. She was a bad influence but I own my choices. No worries though, I dropped the vacation weight very quickly but then more poor choices this weekend. I'm hoping to get back to normal again and have the scale recover again. I am seeing weigh ins in the 250 range so I am pretty sure today's weigh in includes some additional bloat from my weekend and am not that worried. We officially move in 2 weeks so making an effort to eat out of the freezer. Some of the freezer food fits my meal plan well, others don't really but we plan to get through as much as we can. 1 Quote Race: Amazonian Ogre Princess | Class: Ranger | Profession: SuperHero | Affiliation: Doodlie and Pancake for Life Respawn Challenge Arcs: 2021 | 2022 I am not saying I am Wonder Woman.

Roughly half of what I lost in the last month was fat, which I'll take. My inflammation is down which is also good, and I didn't lose too much muscle which is a relief considering I'm doing nothing to preserve/gain it right now.

Birthday Dominos for Qbert's birthday on Saturday and then a birthday brunch on Sunday. Fairly confident that sticking to my regular meal plan this week will get that number back down in the high 240's. No batch cooking this week as this is the last week before move and the kitchen is in the process of being packed. Will need to watch portions as we are eating leftover pizza from the weekend and ordering pasta from our fav Italian place. There will be garlic bread. 4 Quote Race: Amazonian Ogre Princess | Class: Ranger | Profession: SuperHero | Affiliation: Doodlie and Pancake for Life Respawn Challenge Arcs: 2021 | 2022 I am not saying I am Wonder Woman.
