If you are new and wondering about my journey, check out the background here. Each week, I weigh in to stay accountable to myself and also to inspire/be inspired through connecting with others on their personal weight loss journey. I’d love to hear your story and connect with you. <3
Current Weight: 210 (Down 1 from last week)
First Goal: 199 (one-derland!)
Long Term Goal: 170
How I am winning this week: I have finally reigned in my school snacking situation to the point where I am not starving and on the verge of binge eating when I get home at 3:30. I’ve mostly been doing protein snacks like these carrot cake protein bars and hummus with veggies.
Areas of improvement: The rain and my least favorite monthly guest had me feeling pretty sluggish this week and I skipped my interval training on Thursday all together. I’m also still really struggling with getting my strength training in each week. Any advice?
How I feel: I feel like I want 100 million pounds of chocolate and to just lay on the couch watching movies, but I know that it would immediately make me fall into a guilt spiral, so I’m taking care of myself with plenty of rest, but also plenty of exercise and good food.
What’s your journey like? I’d love to hear from you!

Life. Goal. For. Real. <3
I see two MAJOR wins: 1. Figuring out a way to prevent those predictable snacking times is significant, even if it doesn’t show up very quickly on the scale, 2. Recognizing that what you really want (chocolate and couch marathons) and making the choice not to give in. Both of those are awesome. Major kudos to you! As far as getting in strength training, I struggle with that too. I do really love “boot camp” style workouts that do both strength training and cardio in one workout. Maybe something like that would be a good break one day a week from running?
