The other good thing from this week was that I definitely drank more water. So much so that I had to go to the bathroom at work. I definitely have a teacher bladder and rarely use the bathroom at work. I just never have to. Until I drank the amount of water I was drinking! But that is a good thing.
Things to do better: Don't binge... whew that was bad. Keep drinking water. No set amount yet, just keep doing it. And make the step goal. I have yet to make the 10k steps.
My goal- I need to get back to the gym. I haven't been since before winter break. I got sick, then I got busy, then this week was just a disaster being back at work. I was exhausted and it was FREEZING... and I just didn't want to drag Payton out in the cold to go to the gym. I have to get back next week.
My word is meals- because I am making it my goal to eat better meals. I am not saying I will eat the best all the time. Or that I will plan a ton in advance (though I am working on meal planning). But I want to at least have meals that are not full of bad food. Little bit at a time here.

Congratulations on making those positive changes. The more water I drink, the better I feel. For meal prep, I use a lot of the ideas from Once a Month Mom like cooking up a bunch of chicken and ground turkey on a weekend day. Then I add seasonings or sauces in batches and freeze them. It is really helpful to have healthy protein ready to go when I get home from work. The meat is also great to use for making salads for lunch. Good luck this week!

Great job on the water! I had a rough week too and gained .6 but I have to realize that I didn't gain all this weight in a day so I won't lose it all in a week. We just need to keep going and realize that every small step is a step in the right direction for us to be the healthy women we want to be and will be. We can do this!

Sorry for double commenting, but I forget to say that I have a fitbit too. Let me know if you want to be friends on there to challenge each other!

There were so many times when I just wanted to binge! I have dum-dums for when I get that feeling. I know they aren't healthy, but they only have 25 calories each, and they last forever. They help me get over the whole "I'm starving!" feeling.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you on so many things. Last Monday I was in the car for 9+ hours taking my son back to UC Irvine and just knew there was no way to keep to healthy eating that day, and I was right, it happens. I also need to make it to the gym. Great job on not throwing in the towel when the beginning of the week wasn't going so well. I always say any loss, even 1 pound, is better than a gain. Bing eating is something I totally struggle with. I will do fantastic all day at school, probably because I have no time, then get home and totally blow it because I am starving. It is like once I start I just can't stop. I have found, for me, I keep a bar of 85% dark cocoa and break off just one square. It has 58 calories and lots of antioxidants and it helps me feel like I am having a treat without going wild. I have the fitbit too. I totally need to charge it...lol. It has been setting in my drawer for several months. That is on my list for this week to do. Good luck with your goals this week, I know you can do it!
