Accountability time... (I think I need Mike's kick in the "butt")
I weighed myself this morning and have gained 2lbs this week. Not good at all and am a little disgusted with myself. I know that I ate poorly and didn't exercise.

Thanks Hope I think I will need help this week to get back on track.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Jenn

Whether you were up or down this week, at least you were here! It'd be easy to avoid the forums, to just give up if things are not going well.

Easter dinner, done. I haven't logged my food yet but I am sure it'll be fine as I stuck to the ham, string beans and greek salad and passed on the potato scallop, biscuits and butterscotch pie (is that food porn?).

My sister was here and she wanted to walk so that was 2 walks today for the dog and I (5k in total). My back feels good when I walk. It really hurts when I bend over, and/or twist. Now that I know it's a ligament I'll stop trying to "work it out". I'm ready for a rest now after cooking all day. Hot water bottle here I come:)

Just stopping by to wish everyone a HAPPY EASTER
Enjoy your Easter dinner!!

Summing it up:

1. Keep calories below 1300. 1200 is better, but often backfires in the evening. 1183, 1185, 1199, 1174, 1352 whoopsie, 1626 :mad:, 1322
2. Make the time to get some exercise. Being busy is NOT an excuse. 6 days of workouts this week. Yes Only one so far...Nope...time will not make itself; get it together! Twice only this week :(
3. Take vitamins and supplements. Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes No
4. Stay on top of work; falling behind makes it hard to catch up. I'll give myself a B, Pretty good today, Meh, Fair, Fair...did administrative stuff mostly Yes, Like a boss
5. Sleep. Enough. Not last night, no, Pretty good, Nope, Fair/Good, Fair, 8 blessed hours!!, Yes

Jezzie, hope your Easter was nice also :)

See you all after the jump, as they say!

Goals this week:
1) Increase water / green tea intake - aiming for 3L of clear fluids a day. ** Usually hit around the 2.5L mark without issue

2) Meals to match paleo planned diet (apart from yogurt) ** apart from easter sunday - completed

3) Weightlift this week to test out knee during gym days - 3x this week

4) Get over my lingering cold...Vitamin C overdose time! ----eeeh out of my hands...unfortunately still sick

5) Foam roll daily to work on joint pain on gym days - completed x 3

6) Sleep more then 6 hours a night this week. Not completed. Insomnia still. Between 4-6 hours a night generally

Seems mostly within my control lol apart from the sleep and lingering cold. Good luck everyone :) Im excited to see how the week goes!

edit** I should add as well that I am trying to find my goal calorie range. The "not hungry" and still calories cut range haha. Having issues with this. Last week I fluctuated a ton and it didnt seem to match a pattern, so hopefully I narrow it down this week. Based on my weight I have around 1400cal targeted (quality foods only).

Updated week over!! (see above)
