10 Day CHALLENGE to get back on track!



Recommended Posts

That's great news, @rhw94123 ! Congrats on that loss and hitting your Dietbet goal. SO happy for you! And i have to say, losing a pound a week is pretty darned good at the lower weight you now enjoy. You're closer to goal so I'll bet it's tougher to lose, yes? I'm still 22 lbs short of my goal, and still having trouble losing anything more than a pound a week.

So checking in om my personal challenge goals:

+ Get all my Water in today -- working on it today

- Log my food today - I'll have to log it after the fact (I prefer to pre-log to keep myself on track) since i have to be in restaurants for both lunch and dinner today. Darn meetings over meals!

- Back to the gym - sadly i blew it off yesterday and won't have time at all today unless i've got energy around 11pm - not likely. Tomorrow will be a make-up workout for sure.

+/- Stop any off-plan eating - doing better here, (most days on-plan lately) but noshed on two chocolate chip Cookies yesterday, sadly. Still lost though - go figure!

+ I'll redo my measurements... I only do this the first of each month

+ Continue to pre-make more meals I like - Yes, I now have three different choices individually bagged in the freezer - yay!

+ Celebrate behavioral successes, not just the scale ones - Yes - feel good for not going completely off the rails after the Cookies yesterday, and also nice to have lost another pound this week.

Sounds like you are staying focused @@katesuccess ! Very smart to make those meals ahead of time :). (That reminds me that I need to bake up a bunch of boneless/skinless chicken breasts -- my bed time treat is to have about 1.5 oz with a few drops of sweet Thai Chili sauce (doesn't seem to throw my out of ketosis, but it makes me feel like I'm eating fun leftover restaurant food :)).

One thing that I forgot to mention: Now that I'm only losing 3-4 pounds per month, I am weighing at the health stations (with blood pressure, etc.) in Walmart and Savon rather than at home. This has me recording way higher weights (on my ticker) than when I was using my home scale with no clothes on in the morning, but I get a bigger mood-boost when I sit down fully-clothed in the middle of the day at Sav-on a couple of times a month (when I find that I've lost a pound, that is :)). I have made accounts on a couple of those machines and then I have an email/web record of my descending weights... I weigh exactly 10 lbs less than when I started visiting those stations a couple of months ago-- I'm able to get in touch with my gratitude when I look at their little graph of my progress (more than just keeping it on MFP on my phone, for some reason?).

Good thoughts for an on-track weekend, Kate and all. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
