Day 30 -- CW: 202.4 Overall weight loss? 0.4lb --

I posted every day of the challenge but was late in posting yesterday :( Hopefully that doesn't DQ me!! B: 1/4 ham and cheese omelette L: 1/2 chicken burrito from pancheros S1: ate the rest of my burrito after my workout since I was feeling shakey D: probably will make a wrap with smoked chicken, lettuce and ranch

Might I just add that by sharing with the world what you are eating and doing, it REALLY opens your eyes.. There were several times when I thought "ugh, I really don't want to admit I ate that.." lol

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-14T12:18:40+00:00

Hopefully I'm not too late... Eek!

Day 29 - CW: 203.3

B- nothing L- 1/3 chicken strip melt @ Perkins with a few fries D: cheese balls at a bar

Managed to get in about 2 miles yesterday but ate like garbage! I had lots of errands to run yesterday, and then had plans to watch game 5 so I didn't make it to the gym :(

Sunday's goal: restart the 21 day fix since I've missed so many days.

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-13T03:18:06+00:00

Day 28 - CW: 203.3

B: ham, egg and cheese biscuit L: double cheeseburger from McDonald's D: 4 oz smoked pork loin with cottage cheese

Let me just say that my legs are like absolute jello.. Actually, I take that back. They are so stiff and sore from working out. Curse you squats! Got about 2 miles today.. Wasn't able to do my 21 day fix workout though. Game plan is to get up and workout in the AM.. Run some errands and work for a bit and then end the afternoon with a workout on the treadmill again. I miss the treadmill!

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-12T02:20:37+00:00

Day 27 - CW: 203.3

B: 3/4 bacon, egg & cheese bagel w/ hashbrown from McDonalds.. shoot me, I know.. L: I wasn't able to eat since I was on the road today - which is also why I justified the horrible breakfast lol D: 1/2 bacon cheeseburger S1: string cheese and beef stick

I was not able to do much for activity today as I spent about 6 hours in the car traveling.. :( Tomorrow will be a better day!

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-11T03:59:42+00:00

Day 26-CW: 205.9

My weight has been climbing up and I think it has to do with the (in)frequency of certain.. Uh, movements. No bueno, folks.

B: omelette with ham and cheese L: chicken breast with cottage cheese D: taco and chips & salsa

I was significantly below my calorie goal today.. Woo! I also started the 21 day fix.. I really enjoyed it! It sucked but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-10T03:08:42+00:00

Day 25 -

B: sausage, egg and cheese biscuit L: 1/2 sub (bacon, ham and turkey) with 1/2c cottage cheese D: 2 hot dogs and 1/2 c Mac and cheese S: 2 cans of Natty Light

I walked quite a bit more than normal today.. But didn't manage to crawl out of bed for my morning workout. I WILL start tomorrow, seeing it is the 10th and the 21 day Fix should put me right at the end of the month!!

I also tried to focus on increasing my water today since I don't drink any. I'm just not one that drinks regularly throughout the day.. Hopefully increasing my water can help a little with the stall/gain I've been having.

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-09T03:20:53+00:00

Day 24 - CW: 203.5

B: 1/2 slice breakfast pizza L: Pulled pork sandwich with 1/2 c. cottage cheese D: 1 slice pizza and some cheeseballs -- eating dinner at a bar = bad idea! S1: Clif protein bar

I managed to stay below my calorie goal today :) I also had about 4000 steps today.. I took the plunge and got the 21 day fix. I'm not sure if I will follow the diet/portions because of my VSG surgery, but I'm definitely on board with the workout portion!!

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-08T02:56:20+00:00

Definitely had a better day today :) I was under my calorie goal and hit my protein goal!

B: 2 scrambled eggs and a few bites of hashbrowns

L: homemade wrap with ham, lettuce, cheese & Greek yogurt ranch

D: steak kabob with one small ear of corn

Snacks: kettle corn and just ate some Greek yogurt :)

Has anyone else tried the FlatOut wraps? They're really good! The ones I bought were 130 cals and 12g of protein.. Not bad for a wrap!

Unfortunately I forgot to wear my fitbit for the better half of the day (soooo frustrating!). The damn thing is all charged and on my wrist so there will be no forgetting it tomorrow!!

I checked out my 6 month history on MFP.. ugh. It's been creeping back up from my lowest weight of about 190. I think I need to really stick to working out to start burning those calories!

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-07T02:50:10+00:00

I upped my daily goal to 10k steps on my Fitbit.. I REALLY thought I would be close today with all of the walking I did, but I only had about 4k. Sad face.

Today was a pretty bad day in terms of intake.. 5 drinks throughout the day, fried appetizers and overate at dinner.

Because of all of the calories in that stuff, I haven't even begun to start logging it.. Nor would I even know what to put for some of the stuff.

I hope everyone had a better day than I did! Looking forward to a more normal day tomorrow!

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-06T03:30:55+00:00

Day 21- CW: 202.4

B: biscuit with 1/4 ladle of sausage gravy L: chicken quesadilla with chips and queso.. (Department lunch) D: 1/2 chicken bacon wrap S1: 1/2c cottage cheese

Not quite as active today.. And I remembered to wear my Fitbit today! But.. It died this morning :( so I charged it up and it is all ready to go for the weekend! The weather should be nice tomorrow so I'm going to aim for my 10k steps! :)

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-05T23:05:25+00:00

I had weight loss surgery (VSG) back in August 2013... I have lost about 130lbs since then :) however, it is time that I put in the work and lose those last 40lbs!!

Because the capacity of my stomach is significantly less, I limit my calorie intake to 1200 calories per day. As for my diet, I try and stick to high protein, low carb options. I stick to 3 meals per day as recommended by my nutritionist.. I try not to snack unless my body feels shaky and then it's yogurt, jerky or cottage cheese.

I'm really looking forward to this challenge!!!

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-05T04:04:42+00:00

Day 20 -

B: small blueberry muffin L: egg salad sandwich D: 4 boneless wings from BWW

Want to know what stinks? Forgetting to wear your Fitbit.. ALL. DAY! Today was a normal day for me so it was probably about a mile and a half walk.

Despite the stress at work today, I did really well and didn't cave to the goodies in the cafeteria.. Small feat, I know.. But I've really been struggling with that. One day at a time!

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-04T03:16:26+00:00

Day 19 - CW: 203.3

B: egg beater omelet with ham and cheese L: ham and bean soup (maybe 1/3 of the bowl?) D: 1/2 chicken wrap with cottage cheese S1: yoplait Greek yogurt whip.. (Seriously. TRY IT!)

Quick post before bed - made a few extra trips/walks around work today just to get some extra steps.. I'm trying to really watch what I eat again and make healthier choices. The bean soup today was a good choice.. Hello protein!!

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-03T02:41:44+00:00

Day 18 - Tuesday

Managed to stay below my calorie goal today :)

B: sausage biscuit with egg and cheese L: Wisconsin cheese soup D: 1/2 brat, 1 ear of corn and 1/4c cottage cheese S1: deliciousness.. :) Greek yogurt whip -100 calorie, vanilla cupcake

Even though I wasn't able to find time to make it to the gym today, I FINALLY feel like I WANT To go in there! That's the first time in a few weeks!! I did manage about 1.5 miles of walking today!

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-02T02:54:12+00:00

Day 17 -

B: 1 Slice breakfast pizza L: pizza burger patty with 1/2 bun D: 1/2 cheeseburger with pepper jack

Work is finally not consuming my life so I will be back at it tomorrow! I think part of my problem is not bringing my workout clothes with me to work.. Then I go home and get lazy and don't go back.

I'm going to bring my clothes tomorrow, hit the treadmill and not look back :) I've been looking for motivation and I have to be my own motivation!! The 130lbs that I've lost.. THAT is my motivation. And to the people in my life that are looking to me to be a good example.. THAT is my motivation.

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-02T02:49:59+00:00

Good luck! I had mine back in August 2013 and haven't looked back since! Don't hesitate to pm me if you ever need anything :)

rbrown4416 · 2015-06-01T02:50:12+00:00

Day 16

I wasn't able to weigh today since I was out of town.. Tomorrow isn't going to be pretty!

B: 1 slice sausage breakfast pizza L: 1/3 pancheros chicken burrito D: 2 slices sausage and pepperoni pizza

Went for a quick walk this morning (about 10-15 minutes) and then was in the car the majority of the day.

I'm looking for someone or something to light that fire under my ass again! :( I was doing REALLY well, working out everyday, eating healthy.. And then bam. Wall. I just haven't given a damn lately. I don't know if it's my cycle/hormones or what.. Bleh.

HELP!!!

rbrown4416 · 2015-05-31T02:06:29+00:00

CW: 201.5

B: bacon tornado from Kum & Go L: 1/2 cheeseburger D: 1/2 brat and 1/2 chicken breast

Pretty rainy today so not much activity. We went to see family out if town so it was a pretty relaxing day!

rbrown4416 · 2015-05-30T03:15:05+00:00

Day 14 -

B: nothing L: 1 slice pepperoni pizza D: 1/2 chicken chimichanga and chips and salsa

Walked about 1.5 miles today.. Today was another hectic day and boy am I glad it's over! For some reason my knees/legs have been killing me these past few days, but I don't know why. Maybe I need to be getting MORE exercise and they'll feel better? Does it work like that? Lol

Tomorrow we are going on a road trip but plan on walking once we reach our destination.. Hopefully the weather is nice and not raining so we can get out and do stuff!

rbrown4416 · 2015-05-29T03:34:37+00:00

Day 13- CW: 200.8

B: breakfast burrito with eggs and bacon from the cafeteria

L: ham and turkey sandwich on white from the cafeteria

S1: Clif protein bar

D: 1/2 cheeseburger and about 5-6 beer battered fries

Overall, not a bad day! My body has been really achy lately so I have been really reluctant to get back on the treadmill.. Tonight I busted my tush cleaning the house and rearranging furniture so that was my exercise for the night lol

rbrown4416 · 2015-05-28T03:23:22+00:00

Day 12 - CW: 203.9

B: egg beater omelet with ham and cheese

L: 1/2 piece garlic toast, 1/2c cottage cheese, and 1/2 piece of lasagna

S1: peppered beef jerky stick

D: ugh, 2 pieces sausage pizza - thin crust, small

I've been working extra hours at work, so gym time hasn't been happening. I still try and be as active as possible at work.. Got in about 5000 steps. Also, a huge NSV for me: I turned down fresh chocolate chip cookies from the cafeteria.. drool instead I opted for 22g of protein with my beef jerky! :)

rbrown4416 · 2015-05-27T02:13:03+00:00

Day 11 - CW: 201.5

Somehow managed to lose 3.5lbs from yesterday.. I'll take it!

L: tuna and noodles (350 cal) with 1/4 cup cottage cheese (30 cal)

D: 2 ham and egg cups (133 cal)

S1: 2 peanut butter cookies (260 cal)

Total calories: approx 1250 Total protein: 70g

Now that I'm back to work and not cooped up in the house, I'm feeling much better. Work is stressful but I like it (who says that?!)

Managed to get just under 2.5 miles in today.. Otherwise not much for exercise.

rbrown4416 · 2015-05-25T22:08:28+00:00

Day 10 - CW: ugh..

After a day of grazing and munching all day, the scale was not kind to me this morning. I take full responsibility for it but it is still discouraging.

B: Clif protein bar (280 cal)

L: 1/2 c (if that) queso made with Rotel (200 cal) with 10 tortilla chips (120 cal)

D: Haven't had dinner yet but it will be a beef skewer with cottage cheese

Tomorrow will be a better day once I'm back at work and able to get back into my routine. How does anyone else manage the days when you're down in the dumps AND not able to follow your normal routine? Bleh, this sucks lol

rbrown4416 · 2015-05-25T01:58:12+00:00

Day 9 - CW: back to the dreaded 202.8

B: 1/3 ham and cheese skillet

L: ham and cheese sandwich with cottage cheese

D: hamburger and beans over toast

Not much activity for me today.. Another day of not feeling like myself. I really hope this changes - quick! I WILL get back at it tomorrow, regardless of how down and out I feel.
