Fantastic, Chryssie!Weigh in day today and I lost 2.6 pounds! I was so surprised!I have been below my calorie limit a few days last week so I guess that is why. I am a happy camper this morning!

Because I was a floor associate at work today, I logged 10,425 steps. I knew I walked a lot when I work the floor but this is not a regular thing. I get really worn out doing this!

Way to go!
(or should that be "weigh" to go? )It is 6:25 am, and I am awake for an early morning crossfit class
I never get up early, but I'm going away tomorrow, have a lot of prepping to do today, and needed to cram in my two weekly sessions before I left... this might actually kill me

So, I've been keeping clear of this thread for months now as I've not been very 'good', felt pretty **** & knew I'd gained about 7lbs (which is a lot when you're 5ft.)
Today I went swimming & used the body tracker machine to see how bad the damage is and try to inspire some motivation... Turns out I've been unintentionally bulking
- gaining 4lbs of muscle & 2lb of fat in 5 months which is apparently a really good result for an athlete bulking in that time frame. Now I should really 'cut' to lose the fat & keep the muscle but we'll see about that haha.
Yeah, that's what 5 months of eating whatever the hell you like & working out just twice a week does - could be a lot worse.
Well done to everyone else!

You can do it! ^^^
Now my body fat is up to 21% , muscle up to 75% . Still 'underfat' on my trunk (fat all goes elsewher ) & still no visceral fat.

Welcome back, raggle! And Jeremy, what raggle said!
Yesterday was a lost day walking wise, as I had such a busy travel weekend (I did manage to walk Saturday, Sunday and Monday and get all my steps in). I was in New Hampshire visiting the latest great-nephew yesterday, and I needed to sleep in because I'd gone to a concert in New York City on Monday night and got home very late. I got a ton of steps in NYC between the walking and the rocking out at the concert, hehe. It was a blast. I was back at it today and did 3 miles because I needed sleep again. Going to get back to doing 4 tomorrow, though. We climbed a bunch of stairs in one of the taller buildings during our walk today, so I that was good just for the elevation. I need more of that.

Mid week weigh in.... Already down to 163.4, that's 2lbs so far. I wonder how much more I can lose between now and weigh in on Saturday
Keep it up!! You're doing amazingly, I'm jealous!

Gigs are ace for exercise! You're doing awesomely, as always
CrossFit today... 100 'wall balls', 100 weight bar deadlifts, 100 sit ups, 300 skips with a rope, and 100 kettlebell swings.
I took one look at that list and wanted the ground to swallow me up. But I got through it with 1 minute 15 seconds to spare on the 30 minute time limit. I'm so pleased with myself! Really makes the progress I've made more obvious

Lol, would rather be the 6lbs lighter.
That sounds like bloody hard work
Well done.I lost 3.2lbs this week, putting me at 162.2lbs.... Very good week! Runs are up from 25 minutes to 28 minutes. Soon to be 30 minutes.
So I'm running 6 days a week now, and today is my one rest day... Yet instead of appreciating the break, I feel fidgety, nervous and in withdraw that I haven't had run today? Doh!
15 minutes walking, 40 minutes running... 295+ calories burned... All good to go to a brewery later
When you're running for nearly an hour you get plenty of time to think. When this 10k trainer program is finished I was thinking about maybe entering an actual 10k race... It would be an experience I would say.
P.S. where is that August Health Challenge tread?

My daughter has been Tracking her food intake with the Fitbit. I'm going try that too. Plus it's free. Maybe it will work in place of WW and I can get rid of that app.
