Hello my FatSecret friends and community!
This is a new week and I am happy to report that despite how crazy last week was, I still managed to lose another pound. It goes to show you that while stress can be a huge factor in not losing weight, if you stay focused you can mitigate the negative effects of stress!
Last week I had two major research papers due that thankfully, I was able to finish but it was not easy! One of them nearly gave me a heart attack after finding the document on my hard drive and realizing it was only 33% complete! Apparently without realizing, I was updating it in Google Drive instead of my computer and after digging around for an hour, I finally found it! I would have had to write about 8 pages from memory if I didn't find it - thank you higher power!!!
This week
I'm going to do several things differently that I've noticed about myself since I've been losing weight.
- I feel rushed in the mornings. Part of the reason for this is because I'm packing my lunch and getting breakfast ready at the same time plus of course getting presentable for work. Therefore, I'm going to develop a new habit this week of packing my lunch ahead of time and having it all ready to go!
- I have been getting exhausted around 2-3 pm more than usual. I believe it is because I have just come back from walking during my lunch break and then eating a "heavy" type meal. This week, I'm going to try something different. I'm going to mix it up and have hearty salads instead and see if that helps.
- I haven't been logging my food like I want. As many of you know, I am members of this community as well as MFP. Lately, I've been logging everything twice but have been finding it extremely time consuming. I like seeing the differences between platforms and I don't want to give up one or the other due to having awesome friends in both. If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Any suggestions?
During your weight loss journey, what are some things you've noticed that may be hindering your success? What are you going to do about them?By the way, I stumbled across another website that shows FREE videos (all kinds of videos) similar to YouTube called
DailyMotion I thought I'd shared. As I was browsing the website, I found this amazing 1 minute ab challenge I want to try when I get home! PopSugar Fitness is someone I definitely want to follow - lots of awesome stuff!
