Weekly Weigh-in 23/01/17-29/01/17

Morning everyone!

Well, not an amazing week loss wise, but it all adds up. I think I was just spoiled for a few weeks...

What I am most happy about though, is I realized I now consistently exceed the minimum physical activity recommendations (for Canada) which are for a minimum of 120 minutes of moderate cardio(meaning you can say a few words, but not carry on a conversation) and 2 strength training sessions a week. 

I am pretty confident I'll make it to the other side of my next goal of 267 this week.

After that, the next goal is 253, which will mean 125 pounds down.

Then 232, which is my lowest adult weight, and coincidentally, also what my centre put as their estimate of my final loss. I have no intention of ending there, but  I will be in all new territory!

Have a great week, can't wait to see how you are all doing!

I didn't get to weigh myself for the last few days due to scale location and company visiting.  (Can't weigh naked in the dining room when there's company!)  My eating has been really weird due to company and the rally/march all day Saturday.  I was super surprised to have lost 3 pounds!  

HW: 320
LW: 173.1
TW: 170.6

Next goal: as low as I can get before 2/14 when I have my plastics consult.  

If I had tried to do this rally 5 years ago my body would have hated me for weeks afterward.  Today?  My hips are a little sore from having to do so much stabilization.  

I still have a long way to go, but I'm amazed at what my body can do already. And without it being angry at me for it.

i mentioned on the menu board last week that I spent time with my little cousin. In the past, I would have come home and crashed on the couch , completely wiped out. Whereas last week, I realized on the drive home that I was still full of energy, and had no aches from all the trips up and down stairs.

crazy.

It's a wonderful thing :)

Hello to all!

I participated in the AMAW challenge this past week which had me eating more than usual because I couldn't rely on shakes for 20+ grams of protein. I tried a few things that I hadn't had since pre surgery (ribs, steak) and they not only went down well but tasted amazing! My daily totals had a lot more fat than previous weeks and this was also my most "normal" week in regards to the bathroom too so I imagine that's not a coincidence. I have been back to having one shake a day but might try to start going without for a few days a week and see how that goes.

On the exercise front I had a great week. My daily step goal for the week was 9000 and on four days I exceeded 15000  so I will adjust the daily goal to 10000 for this week. I'm a worrier and with my current job search I've had a lot on my mind. I can get focused on something and get lost in my thoughts for too long so I've been making myself walk while stressing rather than sitting/eating and stressing, and it's been beneficial for my body and my brain. I've been getting on the bike (only for brief intervals), doing the stairs in the house 25+ times a day and I did Zumba 4 days. My next mini goal is to get into the 260's.

Have a great week guys!

You're killing it with your Steps!

Thanks! There's a lot of uncertainty in my life right now so I'm trying to focus on the things I have control of. Plus it seems like there have been a lot of posts recently about getting the weight off asap, maybe I'm just noticing them more, but I know that I will have a lot of regrets if I don't feel like I took full advantage of this time. 

I had a bad week of eating. I went to my brother's for a few days, i couldn't stay out of the candy dish, fudge, alcholic drinks one night and eating out twice last week.

I'll try to have a better week this week.

Hope you're able to get back to a routine you are happy with!

I've not had a few good weeks of stress eating but it's not showing on the scales. I keep bracing myself for it to show, but so far so good. At the same time what I'm stress eating is yogurt, beef jerky, the low fat popcorn that I like - so nothing like candy or anything. Still finding it hard to manage in terms of what is an indulgence and what's normal. But basically it doesn't matter what I call it - I just need to manage it.
