Progress and Setbacks - the Road Ahead

Thanks for checking in Cate/Tru/Lama.
One more week done, diet still good, exercise still light. Have been fighting off the start of a cold for the past week.

Think I need to sign up for a race or other type of event so I have something to train towards. Little sneaker ticker continues to tick along despite the lack of strenuous exercise.
 
That little sneaker ticker is doing a very good job, with a lot of help from you K&D. Hope you beat the cold. I have a hot lemon drink (1/2 a lemon, 1 or 2 tspns honey & a lemon/ginger teabag) almost every night, sometimes 2 all year 'round & did well last Winter & did not get one cold.
 
Thanks again LaMa/Cate/Ayman

Sneaker continuing to sneak... exercise continuing to not be there. Had been doing push-ups and work around the house last week but had some weird hand cramping last weekend that took a few days to resolve on its own. Also got fitted for orthopedics since I am apparently a mutant with one leg shorter than the other and some very locked up joints.

Hi K & D- only 9.4lbs to go- there's no hurry. Those sneaky sneakers will get you there, with a little bit of help with your orthotics. I wear them too unfortunately, most of the time. Thanks for visiting my diary, xo Cate
 
Thanks Cate,

Down another 0.9lbs this week. Snacking has been getting out of control and workouts have basically disappeared which needs to change. Concerned that the body fat % isn't trending down all that fast as that means I'm losing lean body mass as I lose weight.
 
Sneaker has finally kicked me back to 242.0 this week. Scale is wonky but given the amount of vegan junk food that I've managed to sneak into my normal routine it's not surprising and should serve as a good reminder to get back in motion.
 
Ahhh, I feel so human here... now let´s all get back to normal and look awesome for the holidays!
 
Sneaker continues to sneak (wrong direction again) Have been snacking way too much in the evening so will be trying to up my food intake during meals to see if I can avoid it. Only positive to take away from past week is that I now know that it's possible to maintain and increase lean body mass and overall weight eating this way.

Trying a week without coffee starting today and can feel the onset of a headache starting already. Not going caffeine free this week so trying to switch over to green tea for now.

Hi K&D! I just picked up some fancy teas in an effort to drink less coffee... But I still ended up getting coffee with a friend today. I hope you have more willpower than me, haha!
 
Thanks Oaks,

Made it through the week but even drinking tea I had an evil headache for a few days. Think I'm through the coffee cravings now and have been sleeping a little better too.

Weight wise, last week was a wash. Also had a few glasses of wine for the first time in over three months on Saturday with a nice meal.

Kudos to you for being caffeine free. I love my coffee (real coffee & only in the morning) & my wine & am not giving up either any time soon. That doesn't mean I don't admire someone who abstains. Here's to a really, really positive 2016! Cheers, Cate.
 
Thanks Lama and Cate,

Think I am now free of the caffeine headaches and have gone without coffee or tea for the past week and have been sleeping much better as a result. Heading into Christmas without meat or dairy is a new experience so will see how it goes.

Made it back to the gym this week and looking forward to getting back into full swing once the holidays are over.

Great work getting through the hard part of your detox! Fingers crossed for the vegan feast, pretty sure it won´t be hard now that you´re used to the whole thing.
