re: Weight loss journey

Just registered for that Color Run on June 1st! Which means I have to do it now.  

Quoting aℓyssa™:" So, I've decided I need to go back to weighing myself once a week! Last Saturday I weighed in at 172.4 ... [snip!] ... 164.5 when I got pregnant with Kenz!) and I think that is definitely still possible to accomplish before he gets home.   "

Thats awesome such a great loss you are doing amazing!!! And I agree with weighing yourself only once a week. Its really hard to not want to step on that scale and I have been going a little overboard with weighing myself too.

I drug my SO and DD out this morning to run a mile on our local track. I only improved my time by a couple of seconds but at least I ran and got out this morning to do something.

I am really struggling with shin splints they have been killing me the past few days and really affecting my workout. Anyone else have shin splints. I am not sure if I should just push through or if thats causing more damage.

I get shin splints really bad when I'm running too... so then I just kinda give up.   Hopefully someone else has better advice, lol!

But great job for getting out there this morning!!

Hahaha thank you.

I would love if you could share what you do during the week/eating wise looks like whatever your doing is working for you and I would love some more ideas if you dont mind sharing.

My eating is super bland and boring.  

I do a green smoothie for breakfast every morning, basically any fruit(fresh or frozen) I have laying around mixed with spinach/spring mix. I like to add natural peanut butter to it to for some protein/fiber and a better flavor.  

Then the rest of my day is literally snacking. I eat in season fresh fruit (blackberries/cherries/blueberries right now) and then veggies like carrots, green peppers, cucumbers. And I have a greek yogurt almost every day, sometimes I'll mix in some granola or flax seed with it.

Then dinner, I seriously suck at. I never have time to actually cook a meal, so it's typically a lean pocket.. or a chicken breast with cooked veggies. Sometimes I'll get the energy to make a wrap or sandwich.  

And I always make sure I drink a crap ton of water throughout the day!

Other good snacks are almonds and dark chocolate!

I weighed in at 214 today! I also reached a mini goal of mine. My size 16 jeans now button up. Still feel too tight but a few weeks ago I couldnt get them to button at all   Its really not where I want to be, but its making progress! Im a long way from getting my 32s to fit but if I keep it up there might be hope they will fit by the summer!

Quoting aℓyssa™:" Doesn't Topamaxx help with weightloss as well? I can only imagine how you feel though, it'd be hard ... [snip!] ... best for baby. So, if that means switching to formula so you can get yourself feeling better, don't let that get to you!! "

Yeah I'm just dealing with it so far.. Nursing her for as long as I can. I'm not sure if it will help with weight loss, I know last time I took it I didn't feel like it made my appetite worse so that's good..

Quoting ♥Love♥:" I weighed in at 215 today!! I thought with how I had been eating this week (ok but not as good as I had ... [snip!] ... to keep going! Start weight with Alli: 220 Pounds lost since Alli: 5lbs Im 15 pounds away from my goal! How are yall doing?"

Omg awesome!! Alli is on sale at my walgreens here, $10 off.

Woo hoo! Great job!!!

Well you know we're here for you if you need anything at all! <3

Quoting ~*~ Nichole ~*~:" I weigh myself like every day, I can't help it lol"

I was doing once a week, then I bumped up to two times a week.. and it was so discouraging to me. I literally was just bummed for days, LOL. So, it's safe to say it's way better to only weigh myself once a week! If I could weigh myself more without getting frustrated, I probably would, lmao.
