Progress as of today: -3.8 lbs lost so far, only 6.8 lbs to go!

______________________________________________
Good Morning to all the DD Ladies & Gentleman! :)
Despite feeling very bloated most of the week, i have been sticking to my goals and eating less. Proud of myslf...it helps to have healthy / low cal options at home. it's my only way of having success.
Doing good. I stuck to my goals this week. Proud of myself. I said last week that I wanted a better calorie average of around 1800/day for the week and i even beat that goal. I will continue to stick with the lower calorie averages so that i can wear some really short dresses in summer and show off my body again that i work so hard for! Anyways, Happy Friday!
6am AM: Aminos in water, kombucha, seltzer with stevia 80 :)
8am - 10am Breakfast: (craving protein, but had what i have & not ordering breakfast) banana 120, protein bar natural type higher fat 230, coffee 50 with equal and milk
11am Snack: most of a nice bar i shared with my boss around 170 :)
1pm lunch: microwave meal over cooked cabbage & a 5calorie Bai caffeine drink.
5pm snack: coconut whey bar, very tasty! and held me over nicely for walking outside for around 40 min! yay! after i got home from around 6-6:40!
7pm-8pm dinner maybe: lots of veggies, i'll say 400 hopefullt not too much more, then some sorbet stuff 200 around, and popcorn 160. very tasty! 750 or so, hopefully not more!
2050 cals today, good! and i exercised. still weak legs even after a short walk ! (just getting back into it...my legs are feeling better though, and not hurting now!) i am feeling so good!
and that i got a raise, feels SO GOOD to put 17% of my paycheck towards my 401K thankfully!
Progress as of today: -2.6 lbs lost so far, only 5.6 lbs to go!
i weighed so close to 120...and i feel it all around in my lower abdomen. gross.
i wonder why it's like that this time around.
despite a high weight, i'm glad i've been eating lower calories this week. VERY happy about it. I realize i need to watch calories more these next few weeks / months or i'm going to have una problema majora! considering i enjoy being leaner...i still have to learn how to eat for a lower weight!
650 before lunch...kombucha, coffee, banana, 2 higher fat bars (one with more carbs, one with less & higher protein...one was natural and one very artificial...)
1pm Lunch: will be light cooked cabbage and a smart ones lasagna over it! total around 450-500 which is A+
total today before working out: 1150 at most
snack after work also: 150-250 at most
1300-1400 before gym
After gym: will be light bar of some sort
1700...! again. definitely happy with this total. this is the type of calories i will need to eat for maintaining a lower weight...
1760-6 day average. very good.
I would say i burn around 1800 on non workout days. at least 2000 on workout days. so i'd say it was a good week for a little weight loss :)
Progress as of today: -2.6 lbs lost so far, only 5.6 lbs to go!
6am 150 kombucha (higher sugar varieties)
8am: banana and coffee 170
10:30 higher sugar Nature Valley chocolate granola bar 190
total before lunch: 510, great.
Light Lunch: 400, tops! it was a smart ones meal on top of salad
planning up to 1500-1700 today. that's nice & low cal!
on way home: massive orange 150
Dinner indulgence: cauliflower in sauce 100, muffin 200, yogurt 100, 2 servings popcorn 250 =650, overall a decent #.
1700 ;)
1770 5-day avg :)
Progress as of today: -2.6 lbs lost so far, only 5.6 lbs to go!
I have been doing calf raises at the gym on the regular now for around 2 months (but took April off as we know). I am noticing that it's working. My calves are getting stronger - particularly my right calf. I can do the raises easily now. No weakness anymore in that leg. Still my left calf needs some assistance and i wear a brace on it still...but I am getting there.
It's about perisistance and not giving up. If I continue working at it, I'll only get stronger. my lower body needs more time. I've been working out my upper body around 6-7 years longer than my lower...so it makes sense it's weak to start with.
____________________________________________________
1,785 4-day average! GREAT...much better than past few weeks already! and despite having an entire 20 cal Monster low carb Energy Drink at 5pm, I slept thru the night because i had a great workout and used up all my energy there! :)
Breakfast & Morning Snacks: Kombucha, coffee with milk, banana, bar...
Lunch: around 2-3 cups of cooked and lightly flavored veggies, half a pita with turkey and mustard :) (will be having something similiar today!)
snack before gym: rice krispie treat 90, very large orange 160 most, energy drink: around 250.
after gym: protein cookie around 400...and 100 cals of a VERY filling frozen dessert (lots of fiber...)
total today: 1500 CALS!!!!!!!!!! YES! finally!
(skipped breakfast / had breakfast late but smaller breakfast...this is the way to go if you want to loose some weight)
for example...sacrifice some calories in the morning as well as sacrificing some hunger...at least you can eat more at night to fill up...i prefer to be hungry in the morning compared with at night anyways....!
...and still i can drink coffee in the morning at work as well as tea...it's not like you have to completely feel like you are fasting
...this is my magic step for cutting calories during the work week....eat less in the AM / smaller & later breakfast.
Have you ever had a relationship with someone where it's very slow to get to know one-other but the whole time you understand eac other perfectly?
when eating less though, i always want more caffeine..for the energy. looking foward to the taste of a Monster Energy drink later...(sugar free types always) along with a rice krispie treat and very LARGE navel orange.

It's so nice out & i have wasted a lot of the day...i may just walk at a nearby park...that would probably be healthiest...and pick up some things on the way home or not...
2300 today. 30 min walk and that was enough.
gym and also home with parents sunday. sunday will be a good-busy.
Progress as of today: -2.6 lbs lost so far, only 5.6 lbs to go!
i am trying hard now again. I was slacking for awhile too, but i don't feel as well when i slack off, so i am also getting back on track.
Fitness-wise, i took 3.5 weeks off exercise and around a month or 5 weeks off of eating well. getting back on track now for summer!
2,010 per day average this week. decent....but i think i need lower to lower my weight a hair. i would prefer an 1800 cal per week average next week. will be aiming for it.
Extra kombucha, but no relief. I'll get relief on Saturday moning FOR SURE :) when i have time & i am home, relaxing. Will do laundry at my parent's house this weekend instead of at my apt because i'm sleeping over their place. Spending at least half the weekend at my parent's place.
6am-6:45am: Kombucha 120 and seltzer with stevia - 6 cups of liquid and still couldn't poop. ah well...i'll be ok. and a little lox (counted below)
8am: lox 150, cream cheese 100, white bread 150, coffee with whole milk 50: 450
snack: bar 180
total before lunch: 550, good.
Lunch: cabbage & a microwave meal (mostly carbs) 350? gotta check...
4pm: small protein bar 150
lately lots of weird cravings for salt.
sleeping really well lately, despite eating too much. i think the extra carbs are helping me sleep & very deeply. no sleeping pills this week..
i can have a low cal day if i buy veggies after work and relax with them tonight!
1900 cals today = success!
dinner was tons of veggies, some soy chicken, extra carbs (lots of popcorn) and strawberries.
Progress as of today: -1.2 lbs lost so far, only 4.2 lbs to go!
Glad you're getting good sleep.
I have been sleeping better lately than i have in a really long time. It feels so good. I'm going to bed earlier and sleeping thru the night!!! It may be because i'm having more carbs.
2,025 5-day average. ok. but for weight loss / maintenance, i'll do better with an 1800 average.
Too bloated and nothing going thru. I need to stop binging on such volume in the evenings!
anyways...
5:45am-6:45am: kombucha 100
7am on way to work: banana 120
9:30am at work: banana 120, tea, and some kinda Indian fried bread from boss 200?
total so far: around 550, fine...
I like how i feel on higher carbs, but the problem is they aren't satisfying at all...but...only reason for so many bananas is bc i am bloated and they decrease bloating / gas. Reason i'm bloated is overeating...but i am going to do the right thing tonight of course and this weekend! i will be home & doing my laundry at my parent's house.
1620 before gym lil extra carbs and caffeine
2000 after a protein cookie but then i bought lox and i was craving salt (really not the cookie) anyways, i ate 1/4 of lox when i got home. yes, the whole thing. and a spoonful of cream cheese. so 200 more.
Around 2200 today. decent. was craving salt.
anyways, tomorrow i'll def be back on track. gonna have more salty lox for breakfast...
Progress as of today: -1.2 lbs lost so far, only 4.2 lbs to go!
I don't want to regain 10lbs back so i'll work on it - and on weekends, i'll try for the lower calorie totals...by eating later in morning / liquids...maybe back to some salty broths so that i'm not just washing out my sodium by drinking water!?
