Weekly Challenge - what's your goal

 To do what my ******g surgeon said to do:
3 meals, 30 miutes, no more.  Stop.  No snacking.
God and pouch please help me.  Oh, I forgot, brain too!
BTW acb...you have done phenomenally!

By the end of the week, I want to...

Get at least 2 days of walking at lunch
Actually meet my 60-80 g of protein in
Break my stall I have had for the last 2 weeks

1. 72 oz of clear H2O each day this week.

2. Get to the gym a minimum of 4 days this work week.

3. Eat cleanly as much as possible.

Am at the top of my comfort range. Want to get back down to the low end by week's end.

Good luck, Allison! Can't wait to hear about you kicking that half marathon's ass! :)

1. Stay off the scale this week. I haven't lost any weight in a week, first time since the infamous 3 week stall. It could be the steroids (quite possible) or just a normal stall, not sure what but it's maddening. I will do this by drinking water as soon as I wake up. I'm not as tempted to weigh after I've had a couple glasses of water.

2. Get to the gym at least 4 times this week. Life is crazy, work, school, doctors visits, blah blah no more excuses. I will go on my lunch break if I have to. I've only been a few times since getting the go ahead from the hematologist to start exercising again.

3. Get through my 6 month post op appointments with both my surgeon and NUT on Wednesday. I'm nervous, although I probably shouldn't be. They both know what's been going on with me medically, and have not expected me to be losing copious amounts of weight while taking the steroids. I think I'm nervous because I'm a bit disappointed in myself (maybe for not quite valid reasons but whatever).

I need to get my lazy butt in gear.....

I shall work out 3 times this week.  One down today already!  Follow my eating plan of 600-800 cals, >60 protein and

 My goal this week is simple: stop the self sabotaging behavior.  Not that it has really been out of control or that I have full blown been making bad choices.  But I have allowed my carbs to be higher than normal for ME, and I haven't been getting my sleep in, I also haven't made my water or protein goals each and everyday like I intended to.  
Basically I am going to kick my own ass.  I am afraid of success - because if I reach goal, then I have to maintain right?  If this three week stall has shown me anything at all - it is that it is easy for me to maintain, because I am convinced this hasn't been a stall, this has been me eating like a maintenance person rather than someone still losing.  That ended yesterday.  Today I am back on the band wagon and taking care of these last few pounds.  I have 4 lbs to get to 100 total loss since I started, 5 lbs to way the same weight as my husband (grrrrr) and 6 lbs to goal.  I want to make a thread with each and every one of those met.  I don't care if it is one at a time or all at once - it is time to get it done and basically, it is time to stop ******g around.

 Between the two of us, we could write a book on self sabotage :-/

Lets stop this non sense together!!

I need to find a way to stop falling into the pity pit/pot.  I'm disgusted with this whole thing.  I have NOT ONCE, NOT EVEN A BITE been off plan in nearly 4 months.........under 650 cals, under 30 gr carbs (usually under 25), 70-80 gr protein and at least 8 glasses of water a day.  I exercise hard 3 times a week and do physically challenging chores in the yard or in the house to burn more calories.  I'm not losing any weight.  It's chemically, biologically, physically impossible, yet NO FREAKIN' LOSS in over 10 days.  Prior to that, I lost a pound over 9 days.  This isn't a stall, it's a damned road block and I don't know how to get around it.

Staying off the scale is the right thing to do - but while I can pass up tempting food, I can't pass up the scale......call me weak.

SOOOOOOOOO, my plan is to not give a rat's ass about my weight.  It's a number, it's not who I am.  If Sir Jerkwad would at least acknowledge the 52 pounds that I've lost, I might feel better, but I have a better chance of losing 10 pounds by tomorrow than that happening.  At least my trainer said something today!  That made me feel good!

GOAL:  STOP CARING so much and enjoy nicking my sorta newly bony knees when I shave my legs!

Sorry this turned into a rant/crab-o-gram............I'm usually happy and chirpy............

AHHHHHH, another GOAL:  get back to being Pollyanna!

 Big hugs, Ree!

1 - Run at least 15 miles this weeks.
2- eat (having isssues with this right now), my weight just keeps dropping on me.
3 - identify at least one trigger to my current high level of anxiety
