Weight: 232 (up .2 from the other day :( )
Fat %: 56.4% (okay I swear that thing said like 55 last week - not sure if I trust that part of the scale but it reads what it reads for now)
Calories for the day: approx 1,430 (highest I've had in a while) darn tacos
Finally woke up feeling better, I could breathe through my nose -that was a start. Throat feels better too. So I'm on the mend finally. I would have been making a doctor's appt today if I woke up feeling like I did the last few days.
I made myself have something for breakfast (whole wheat bagel flat w/ reduced sugar grape jelly). You know those bagel flats from Thomas aren't half bad - still kind of chewy so you get the same texture and taste as a regular bagel but less than half the size and only 110 calories -sweet! Made myself eat because I sometimes skip it which is very detrimental to a weightloss goal. I had planned to take a salad for lunch and if I hadn't had something for breakfast, by the time lunch rolled around ~~ that salad wouldn't have cut it :).
Snacks today weren't too bad. A serving of pretzel sticks, a clementine, a FF SF fudgicle ugh, and an apple. Yay me on the apple because my FGT (FGT=fat girl thinking) said the fudgicles are only 60 calories you could have another one but I consciously thought about it for a moment and decided to have the apple instead. I could have done without the extra 40 calories (could have done without any snack really but baby steps baby) but apples are a superfood and a "clean eating" snack icon.
Activity: treadmill for 30 minutes and I said I'd do some weight training tonight but not feeling the mojo. Wish I had my regular workout area again downstairs. I will work on having more space than just for my treadmill. When I'm on the treadmill I can see the posters I had up when it was like a gym down there 3 years ago, I can see them behind the boxes and other misc. items that have creeped into my previous gym space, its frustrating. One - not having the space (honestly there's not much room left to move those items into so I can have my space. Two - I want to be back to 100% health so I can really do some heavy workouts without making myself sicker. I'm still pacing and I really dislike that.
I located a couple of old online groups today, that I used to be a part of when I was last on this journey and rejoined. Phit-n-Phat and a Yahoo Group "Weight Loss Group Support".
Here is my new ticker :) for my short term goal to get to 200. Then I'll create a new one.
I try to make this journey as fun as possible to keep me motivated. I've joined one challenge on the Phit-n-Phat site New Year New You Phat Team - the goal is to lose 8 pounds in 8 weeks (doable) I've already lost 4 and since I'm on week two and they are on week two I think that qualifies :) Maybe I better ask. I was thinking of joining their Push Ups Challenge but ... maybe I better wait till I get some time in exercising consistently before I go jumping into any big challenges lol. Right now, consistency and balance is the challenge.
Short Term Goals:
To get to 200 pounds
Start planning my meals a week in advance doing advance food prep
Consistently workout 4 times a week.
Long Term Goals:
To fit into a size 8, no matter how many pounds that is.
Consistently eat clean, plan my meals and prep.
Work out 6 days a week, constantly challenging myself to new levels.
Develop a new lifestyle and bring my family into with me with the least resistance possible. :)
