Hair Growth and Weight Loss Challenge 2015

So far today I have had Cheerios with almond milk, a chicken salad with cucumbers and tomatoes and a grilled cheese sandwich. I'm making panko crusted tilapia and angel hair pasta for dinner. I had a bottle of sparkling water earlier, but other than that I have only had water to drink. I hate empty calories... but If I have enough left over I will have a beer with my husband.

On another note, I went to CVS to buy more Alli, but they were out so I bought some Calorease. It's very similar since it blocks up to 500 calories from fat per day. So if I take this and don't change anything else I will lose an extra 4lbs per month. I'm tempted to just return it and get my Alli, because I know that works. Decisions decisions :/
 
Once my fiber one bars are gone I'm going to make smoothies for breakfast and lunch since I don't go into work 'til mid afternoon and just eat my dinner where I'll get my protein.

So today off to the grocery store after washing my hair for fresh fruit, yogurt and jugs of water. In addition my seaweed snacks, trail mix, nutella.

I did well yesterday until I went to my gfs house and she put on brownies :badgirl:
 
Did my first Barre class yesterday. What a workout!! I loved it...My legs are burning today. It was a little more difficult than I thought. Can't wait to see what the results will bring. I plan to do it for the rest of the summer. I for sure will do it for the next 3 weeks since I've already paid for it.

Ooooooh, I would LOVE to take a barre class. Your going everyday for the next 3 weeks? Try to descibe the class. Maybe I'll go next month. I've been wanting to do that & zumba.
 
@GettingKinky I feel the same way! Although I went out of town this weekend and didn't weigh and was pleasantly surprised this morning!

3.8 pounds lost this week! Whoop! And since I was out of town, I took the weekend off from working out and wasn't super anal about what I ate. I am definitely feeling that, so I am going to toy around with taking weekends off from weight lifting from now on. That will probably help prevent injuries anyway.

Here's to losing 2 more pounds this upcoming week!

Honey chiiiiile no not everyday! I'm going 3x a week for at least the next 3 weeks. I did it again this morning... And I like to die. My legs still hurt from the day before... it was hard! As for the class it's a full body workout that incorporates cardio too. It's full of ballet type moves and positions. It's kinda intense especially for a beginner such as myself. The other women told me the first 1-2 weeks are hard but it gets a little better. I go again on Wednesday. Lord help me lol
 
Y'all...
I had a green smoothie for breakfast and a salad for lunch yesterday among the rest of the food I normally eat (maybe a tiny bit less)... almost 3 pounds overnight!
I don't know what this sorcery is, but I will be working to maintain it over the week. It's taking everything in me to not repeat exactly what I ate yesterday today (and for the rest of the month! LOL) to try to maximize weight loss, but I told myself 2 pounds per week. I know that I likely will not be able to eat the exact same food everyday because I get bored, and I'm afraid to adopt a way of eating that I know isn't maintainable and gaining weight back. This makes sense in my head. LOL.
 
I skipped my weigh in this week, because TOM just got here. I'll weigh in again Monday.

I did 25 minutes on the trampoline and then dh and I had a dance off. It was fun and I know I burned off some major calories. We did the Nae Nae and everything lol
 
Anyway, being doing the challenges from off Pinterest beginning this week. I need to get either a new battery for my scale or buy a new scale. My next doctors appointment is scheduled for July 11th. By then I hope to be @ least 20 pounds lighter.
 
I got a full length mirror today. Hopefully it'll motivate me to keep moving more/eating less. I am about 20lbs away from my goal.

I don't feel like logging my food today so I won't. It's starting to get annoying. I will resume logging next week.

ITA logging food is such a pain, but it's soooo effective. I usually eat less just because I don't want to log the food.
 
Prettymetty said:
Yes! Especially homemade stuff, because you have to log each ingredient separately. Ugh. I make most of my own food so you know it takes forever

That's one thing I like about the LoseIt app, you can save recipes so the next time you have it you don't have to enter all the ingredients again. My biggest problem is when I eat at a non chain restaurant and then I have no idea what's in what I'm eating. I wish there was a special plate that could tell you the nutritional info for your whole meal.

Fatsecret keeps track of my recently eaten things, so as long as I stick to the same stuff it's easy. Dh told me that there is an app that tells you nutritional value just by snapping a pic of your food. If I find out the name I will let you know.
 
I need to pick up a few things from the store today and I'm taking the babies. That has to count as a workout. I literally have to chase, carry, push them in a basket, etc. It should be fun.

It's almost lunch time. I am in the mood for a spicy chicken salad with avocado.

***Picture Update****

February- Today

approx 17lbs loss I don't know where my tape measure is so I can't say inches.

I'm sad that I lost my boobies y'all... They were new to me because of the weight gain... But I liked them. :-/

@TwistedRoots, don't take this the wrong way, but those shorts look cute on you now. Congrats on the weight loss. I wish I could drop boobage with just at 17lb weight loss. :blondboob:
 
On Thursday I started my menstrual cycle and, although, I felt some discomfort I realized the first 2 days were different than other months. Yes, all periods are different month to month but for me no agonizing pain, wishing I'd stay home, nasty taste in my mouth, feeling like I have to go to the restroom, or feeling like I have to regurgitate. So I'm attributing this to perhaps:

1) Vitamin C- Complex pill
2) Multi-Vitamin pill
3) Bamboo tea
4) Eating Healthy
5) The little exercise I have done

Have any of you noticed a difference in your cycles and moods as well?
