Laura: Fat to Fit: mnbchallenge

#MNBChallenge Week 2 and Weigh-In

2/10/2014

So, its a new week for the Move, Nourish, Believe Challenge with FitApproach and Lorna Jane!

When I first looked at the schedule for this week, I was a little worried. I've never not had a day without meat and I've never eaten raw.. so I don't really know what will go down this week but I'll try my best!

So here's what's in store for this week..

Week Two - #Nourish
2/10: Go Meatless – Skip meat today! Try vegetarian/vegan meals.
2/11: TYLTW! – Take Your Lunch to Work today! Choose a recipe from movenourishbelieve.com to inspire your packed lunch!
2/12: Write it down! – Journal your food today and share your WIAW with us!
2/13: Smoothie Day! – Happy Thirsty Thursday! Make a healthy smoothie today!
2/14: Go Raw Friday! – Choose a recipe from movenourishbelieve.com and go raw!
*Recap your week in a blog post!

I already take my lunch to work everyday, so Tuesday will be OK, as will Wednesday because I do WIAW posts. I don't usually make smoothies, so I'll have to put something together.

I've done OK for today's challenge. I didn't eat any meat. I would usually have it for lunch and dinner, so I'm good. Lets see what happens for the rest of the week!

Now onto my weigh in for this week:

Last Weeks Weight: 137.2

This Weeks Weight: 136.6

Weigh In Results: -0.6 lbs

Total Weight Loss: 121.4 lbs

Thank GOODNESS for that!

I closed my eyes when I weighed in the morning. I was dreading seeing my weight go up again this week.

Thankfully, that wasn't the case and its come back down slightly. I would have been happier if it was closer to 135, but I'll take the loss over a gain!

I'm just going to carry on like I did last week, although I'm supposed to be maintaining, I' like to try and get my weight nearer the 130 mark for the skin removal surgery, then I've got a little leeway with my weight after surgery. If not, that's completely fine.

More than anything, I want to be as fit as I can be before I go into surgery so I don't want to be slacking too much on my workouts despite the terrible weather.

I hope you've had a good start to your week.

Until Next Time!

Question: Eaten Meatless or Raw? Any suggestions on recipes?

#mnbchallenge and Weigh In

2/03/2014

I've been following Fit Approach for a while now on social media and their mission just resonates with me. Their community is filled with Motivation, Inspiration and Support and its great to follow people along.

FitApproach have partnered with Lorna Jane for a month long challenge, Move Nourish Believe Challenge and I jumped at the chance to join in, why not?!

I had heard of Lorna Jane before but never bought any of their items. I recently discovered their website MoveNourishBeleive which has great motivation and tips for everyone.

Now onto my weigh in for this week:

Last Weeks Weight: 136.4

This Weeks Weight: 137.2

Weigh In Results: + 0.8

Total Weight Loss: 120.8 lbs

Ugh.... I HATE seeing a gain.. and its not been just this week if you've already read my post from last weeks weigh in.

I know why I've gained, but it doesn't make it any easier to see. I'm on my sweet treat ban.. which is going well.. but its early days, its only been 3 days so far.

However, I was slightly happy about my weigh in.. as I'd weighed in earlier in the week and was ALMOST creeping back in the 140's and that completely kicked my out of my funk. I don't want to be back there.

I hope, by next week, maybe I'll be back down to around 135 again. That's my happy weight.

I now just want to focus on staying on track. Keeping away from the sweet treats and keeping active with my daily yoga.. and ofc the #mnbchallenge :)

Until Next Time!

Question: Whats YOUR favourite way to sweat?
Right now, I'm really enjoying my Yoga Practice :)
