My weight loss log

[Melaina]

It's not much to read I am sure... but knowing it's here will keep me going. Not only is this a weight loss log... but my eating healthy will help me fight my long battle with ED, and that is more important to me.

Yesterday for dinner instead of ordering out, getting subway or snacking at the vending machine which is common for me when I work nights I bought the microwavable steamed bags... added 1 1/2C cauliflower, 3oz cooked/sliced cold chicken, 1/4c bean sprouts with salt/pepper (no garlic at work, LOL)... steamed for 4 minutes and ate for dinner. I curbed my evening snack with 1c watermelon when I got home. I drank a cup of coffee at work which I wish I hadn't done since I didn't fall asleep until 3am I had water, NO crystal light or diet soda.

Today I had a cup of AM coffee. Egg whites w/ a spinach pancake, thus far... when I get to work I will have a cup of fresh cherry tomatoes, dinner will be the same as yesterday. I bring raw veggies to work and keep them there for any cravings, hunger strikes.

30 min of cardio thus far...

Tomorrow I want to start doing pilates at home with light weights and hopefully some medicine ball work along with my cardio.

Why no crystal light or diet soda?

For curbing cravings i love sugar free freezer pops, the ones i get are 2.5cal a piece and a godsend whenever i get cravings

what's your macro breakdown look like?

training routine?

You're getting into a story half way through the book, although I appreciate your interest. Thandie is helping me out!

COUNT ME IN!!!!!

Remember: this is the hard part. The very start. If you fall down, just get back up and keep going. This is an ongoing process. You don't fail if you have a bad day. You just plan on a better day the next.
Just curious: what are you doing for cardio? Did you say treadmill or something like that? Sorry, I have no attention span. Anyway, you might want to look into HIIT. Twice the workout in half the time. It's great for weight loss and turning up the calorie burn.
Keep us updated and it sounds like you are off to a great start!
We are here for you.

Thandie IS a big help and listen to everything shesays. My energy has doubled since I quit on the coffee.

I used to do HIIT But I need to build myself back up to it. I started to try it yesterday but I was so winded that I had to stop.

I am SO MAD... I must have pulled a muscle in my neck/back while I slept last night. I can't even move right now, I can't even breath without being in pain. And I still have to work a 10 hr shift today. I took a muscle relaxer and something for pain but I really wanted to get my cardio off on a good foot....

Thank you phat1 for the tip, I do have a hot bean pack, should I alternate or no? About 2 years ago I had alot of problems with my neck... it would go into a spasm every 3 weeks and I ended up in physical therapy which was horrible for me. I had a couple of MRIs done and I have slipped disks, bulging disks and a place where my spine twisted causing a hole in my spine (???) ... but their placement shouldn't have caused the spasms... the spasms were pinching nerves causing pain down my arm... and over a few months I started to lose feeling in my right one. I keep thinking if I start going to a chiropracter I can avoid "all of it" by keeping everything in line.

I'm a hot mess, LOL. I'm going to go ice it now.
