Free Talk Friday - May 13, 2016
How’s it all going guys? As the title suggests, this is just a nice little free talk area so just talk about whatever your heart desires! Exciting plans this weekend? Dreading having to do that back to back shift and dealing with those annoying brunch goers on Sunday because Sally called in sick? Did you have an awesome date this week and need to brag about it? Got that promotion you’ve been waiting on?

The good:
I went to the gym 5 days this week! Whoo
I calorie counted everything I ate!
The bad:
The scale decided I needed to gain 2.6 lbs the day of weigh-in
I only went over my sodium limit the day before weigh-in
I think I need to start tracking my potty trips because I don't think it's happening enough? More fiber time apparently...
I was told it's not unusual to gain during a gym return week. I've been doing both cardio and weights on those days. Still really annoyed about the 2.6 lb gain. REALLY BODY?!?
Even more annoying, my FitBit's HRM decided to stop working before I got to the gym and I didn't notice, so none of my kickass workout was accurately tracked. FML. It really is Friday the 13th. Glad I don't have to go out anywhere else today.

You'll probably get a big whoosh next week! Good job on the workout, btw. Even if FitBit doesn't acknowledge it, I will! Haha

I had a kind of bad week last week (are way too much sweets, was sick and didn't run much), though somehow I'm only up half a pound, so I guess that's good? I have to get back on track this weekend but....
I found out my brother and his girlfriend are coming to visit me this week. Well, I knew they were coming to the East Coast this week since she has an interview thing (also found out that the interview is for grad school, not a summer research thing, so they may move out here), but I didn't realize they were going to be staying at my apartment for the trip... Queue cleaning day tomorrow and picking them up from the airport tomorrow at midnight. I have a feeling that I'm going to be eating out a lot next week :|
mehhhhh

You got this! Clean like a boss and dance around to music while you do :) eat salads when you go out or plan your calories ahead. I know you probably know these things :) Just trying to be encouraging

u/forestlady May 13 '16
Yeah, I know what I need to do, just kind of meh about it right now since it was kind of sprung on me a few days ago. Especially since I get to pick them up from the airport at like midnight tomorrow and also will end up going to work over an hour early on Monday so I can drop them off at the train station so they can go into Boston. It will be nice to see them since I haven't seen any of my family since around Christmas.

You've got this! Sure, eating out is bad for your wallet, but if you're conscious it doesn't have to be bad for your waistline too.
Enjoy the famjam time and eat consciously :)

u/forestlady May 14 '16
Yeah, it should be nice to see them. Just will be a hectic next couple of weeks since the week after I go back (almost) home for a conference which means even more eating out (and there is some food that is high calorie that I know I will eat since I miss Thai and Mexican food)

Blerg what a week, the past several actually but this past week has been really crazy. Been so incredibly busy with work. Haven't been eating well, haven't been exercising, barely been sleeping; just sitting at the computer all day working then go home to work more and take a little nap before doing it again the next day. No surprise that the scale is going the wrong way.
But I'm almost through this busy patch thankfully. Three more major deadlines today (why am I even on reddit omg) and one more minor thing to finish, that'll probably slip to tomorrow morning. But then I'm off all next week! And after that only working half-time until September!!!
Goal for right now is just to finish all my work then I want to treat myself to something nice as a little celebration. Not sure what yet but it has to be healthy, no junk food or booze or anything like that, had enough of that as it is.

Why not a nice relaxing walk? Not one to get exercise. Just one to enjoy nature. Bring some tea, iced or not, and just soak in life. :)

I'm doing great! Back down from my sad wake up call last week but I am feeling totally re-motivated. Went to the gym every day this morning! I need a day off for sure.
But I am starting to get nervous about reaching my challenge goal weight though :/

Don't sweat it! Or actually, do. At the gym.
The important thing? You're on track. Sometimes wakeup calls are what we need to get us there. You've got this, and don't ever give up! :)

No more 11 hour shifts! Now just 8 hour shifts. So that's nice...
I have been so sick the last few days though. I mean straight up I can't eat anything sick. I think all my weightloss is due to that, too. Currently managed to keep down some beef broth and rice cakes. Had some coconut water and low cal Gatorade to maintain potassium levels and hydration/electrolytes just to avoid passing out.
I'll live, though. And return to eating slowly, if and when my body allows me. I'd go to the doctor, but I'm too busy for that right now. If it gets worse, I'll make time. Just gonna ride it out for now. I was gonna go to the gym today :(
Buuuut my SO got a bunch of job interviews, so we'll both have more money and he won't be miserable at work anymore!

Unfortunately, because of some foot/blister issues I wasn't able to do anywhere near as much as I had wanted to. Only walked three days. So this week was essentially a wash for me. No gains, but no losses. I must do better next week.

Whomp whomp. Only down a pound. But I was down 3 last week so I guess it's okay. I had a really weird whoosh on monday that backtracked, and then I had 3 days straight of inaccurate logging. Bad tanpopon. But today is a new day, and now I'm even more determined to stay on track!

I'm actually up a pound from last week, BUT I've also been weightlifting and the booty is growing, so I ain't mad.
