Health challenge update...without planner pics, because I forgot my planner. [cue sad trombone]

Anyway! I NAILED IT!  Four workouts last week:

Monday:  Couch to 5K Week 6 Day 3 - 22 minute run

Tuesday:  Lifting! Bodyweight circuit. 1 round of 10 reps, one round of 14 reps.

Wednesday: 50 minute walk

Thursday: (nothing.)

Friday: Does mowing the lawn with a push mower count?

Saturday: Couch to 5K Week 7 Day 1 - 25 minute run

Sunday:  2 hours of ziplines, giant swings, and climbing a rock wall! woo! I need upper body strength! Climbing is super hard without it! (It’s also hard WITH it, but it’s usually slightly less hard)

Health challenge weeks 11 and 12, delayed because of travel. Week 11: Only 3 workouts due to injury. Made healing and eating well my priorities. Week 12: Vacation!! 7.21 miles at Disneyland, a good run, 5.36 miles at Universal Studios, and a Just Dance throwdown!

Oh lordy! I want to thank @fithealthyhappykim for giving me the motivation to actually check my progress and try to get back on the wagon. They aren't comfortable yet, but I can button those pants now!

How’s Everyone Doing

I’m just wondering how everyone has been doing with the challenge we took on at the beginning of the year. I don’t see many drop20in16 posts anymore.

I’m not going to lie, it hasn’t been easy for me. I feel like I’m fighting and not getting very far, and have constant setbacks. But I’m determined to keep trying to make the positive changes I need to in order to accomplish my goals.

*Sorry if I missed anyone. Hopefully those who started this challenge are following the tag and see this.

How are you all doing?

More struggles. I am getting me frustrated at myself. Last Monday was my birthday. I ate out so much last week, but honestly, most of the time it wasn't so bad. I'd only say I had 3 really bad meals out of the whole week...and a whole lot more alcohol than I usually have. But I took home parts of most of my meals I ate out, and made decent choices, and logged 90% of it in myfitnesspal. And I went to the gym 4 days last week, which is good. But now I'm even higher than the weight I started at, and I've been so hungry every day this week, even when I'm eating. And I'm so freaking tired. And late at night when I'm hungry in not making great choices, and it's partly cuz i haven't had time to go food shopping and get fruit/vegetables as snacks, and I'm gonna be away this weekend so I don't want too much perishable food in the house. ARGH I am mad that I am struggling so hard to control myself, and I'm annoyed that I'm so hungry all the time, and I honestly just want to go to sleep for like a week!

An Explanation

I'm so sorry I've been MIA. Last week was finals week for high school and this week has been finals week for college (I do Running start where i also take college classes). I'm in some of the most difficult classes I've ever taken and I've been both stressed and exhausted. I'm sorry I've been gone but next week should be better!

Struggling real hard this week. My bday was Monday, so I've been eating out a lot this week - Monday night with my parents, last night (Tuesday), tomorrow night, Friday night, and Saturday night all dinners out with friends. I've tried to keep my lunch clean every day. And I've gone to the gym every day, and will be in the gym for at least 30 minutes every day except Saturday and Sunday. But I'm still not feeling great. The food is a big deal and it makes me bloated because restaurants use lots of salt and stuff that I don't when I cook. I try to choose relatively healthy food but also...I choose to enjoy dessert. I rarely have dessert but this week all bets are off. So I'm just feeling a little down because I don't want number to go up but I know I'm not making the best choices to stay on track.
