5/29 - 149.8 - 1553
Back on track, eating mostly at home now, and I've been doing lots of garden work - digging out shrubs and other things I don't want and planting perennials. So happy to have a garden again after 9 years of renting!

5/30 - 149.6 - 1290
I'm very happy to see the scale moving the right direction again! We may get thunderstorms this evening, but if they miss us, I'm planning a long walk.

5/31 - 150 - 1307
Bouncy bouncy. But other than not as much exercise yesterday, I'm doing everything right, so no worries.

6/1 - 149.4 - 1297 (10-day ave 1499.3)
I had a note written and somehow lost it, so I guess that means I should be more concise. :-) Anyway, happy to be trending downward on both weight and 10-day calorie average (which explains so much more than daily cals!).

6/2 - 149.4 - 1414 (10-day ave 1472.2)
Better and better. Calories and macros good yesterday, cal ave slowly falling to "loser" zone, 45-min walk (cut short by thunder & lightning), lots of other walking around, some gardening. Have a lovely weekend, all!

Day/Weight/Comment

5/28 - 159.4 - Horrible way to start this round. My meals weren't bad, no snacking, lots of yard work and a late evening walk after dinner. Water intake was good too. Hoping this is just a slight rise before a nice drop the next day or two. Lots of outside work to do again today and it's going to be hot, so I need to remember to keep drinking water.

5/29 - 158.6 - Usually I feel a yes! Or ehh or oh crap! when I step on the scale but this morning I really didn't feel anything. Yes I'm glad that it's gone back down and yes I'm still really want to lose the weight and I'm not giving up on my healthy habits I'm creating but there wasn't no excitement at the scale this morning. Looking in the mirror and seeing a difference is what I mostly get excited about and I haven't been seeing much change so I think the lose on the scale isn't meaning as much. Will be taking measurements again next week so hopefully it shows results so I can get excited again.

5/30 - 157.0 - Saw this number last round but knew it wasn't true, this time around it might be a little more accurate. Ate a healthy lunch, played a bunch of outdoor games with the kids and had a light dinner. I did have a cupcake though for my son's 5th grade promotion at his school but I logged it and I was still good with calories. Hoping this is a true number as I'm approaching my mini goal date. Also I'm not feeling so meh about the scale this morning, yesterday must just of been an off day.

5/31 - 157.0 - Well it stuck around this time but might see a slight increase in the next day or two as I ate a cookie and some ice cream for a "party" me and my daughter had yesterday for it being the last day of school and then some homemade pizza for dinner. Don't regret it though as we had fun and it made the day special for her. I'll get back on track today though and finish out this round strong.

6/01 - 157.0 - Happy with this, now to see a drop tomorrow.

6/02 - 158.0 - Not surprised by this, not enough water yesterday, took the kids to lunch at Applebee's and didn't eat dinner till about 10:00 last night. Also I'm weighing about a half hour later than normal. Soccer games this morning and a cookout at a friend's this evening.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28--Out of town--Just checking in on everybody's progress! Got back tonight from our 3-day weekend trip; it was a belated birthday/anniversary celebration. We did some major retail therapy. We ate some really delicious meals and while I didn't log and I know I was over my daily calorie goals, I also made better food decisions than I would have a year ago. That is more important to me than measuring every calorie, because I am trying to change my eating habits for the rest of my life. I'm expecting to see a gain on the scale tomorrow, but I'm going to try to step up my activity level this week.
5/29--178.8 I was expecting this increase. I'm still going to try to get down to 175 this round!
5/30--179.0 Sigh...no excuses. I've been eating over my calorie goal and I haven't been very active. I did a lot of shopping over the weekend and was able to buy smaller sizes, so I need to remember that as motivation--my new clothes aren't going to fit if I keep going this direction! Pilates tonight.
5/31--178.0 Just hanging out in the comfort zone. I've been here for awhile....
6/01--178.0 At this point, I'll be happy if I get through the round right here. I had a meeting right after work last night and didn't have access to food, so I ate the provided food--pizza. I shouldn't be eating pizza in the first place because I am sensitive to dairy and wheat. Anyways, I went way over my calorie goal for yesterday and I feel yucky today. It's not going to get much better these next couple of days. I am on the leadership team for our local Relay for Life, which is tomorrow. I'm super excited for it, but I also know that my access to healthy food is going to be limited. Not to mention, it's going to be an insanely busy day at work today and I have a million things to do after work to get ready for tomorrow. Oy!
6/02--177.8 Happy to see this considering how many calories I've been consuming. I'm going to be running around like a crazy person for the next 16+ hours, so maybe that will translate into something good on the scale!

Round 42 goal – no binging. Same lunch all week long. get back to the 180’s
5/28 – no scale
5/29 – 193lbs after the long weekend this is normal. Very busy this week so I hope I do okay.
5/30 – 191lbs – busy day and didn’t eat very good, busy all week. Don’t know if that’s good or bad!
5/31 – 188lbs – I ate so much yesterday??? This has to be from my not eating right the other day. When I say not right I mean not nearly enough
6/01 193lbs – how is a 5 pound swing possible. Was it the hamburger the other night? Or my only meal yesterday before oral surgery. Pizza hut buffet
6/02 – 191lbs – I was so worried last night that I gained more weight. Stepped on the scale and I was 200 even

•5/28 - 196.6 - I'm not sure this is accurate. Simply because I was under tremendous stress yesterday and ate just enough food before going to bed to bring my calories over the edge of 1000.
Ended the day over 2000 calories despite my pre-planned food diary. I decided to eat the calories left behind during the past week due to lack of appetite. I had a protein heavy day of eating. Throughout the day I ate, fried chicken, a grilled chicken sausage, tossed salad, one half of a mini sweet pepper stuffed with a cream cheese spread (pretty much a fat bomb) and 2 slices of pound cake. I ate the cake, because of tradition. It was my Anniversay. All types of snack food, bread and cookies were available to eat, but I have no desire for it. I must confess that I did eat one dime size piece of potato chip that my 18 month old grandson offered to me. How could I refuse? He wanted to feed Grandmommy.
•5/29 -198.2
•5/30 - 200 - Only weighed once. It's the usual reason.
•5/31 - 199.2 - I ate my first meal at 5:30pm yesterday and a forced meal at 10pm just so I could end the day having not undereaten. I was just not hungry.

started this challenge at round 27, at 227.8. I ended round 38 at 194. That is a 33 pound loss! I love this challenge! It goes against everything I USED to believe about weighing in daily, and has taught me to really listen to my body, not get discouraged by small set backs, and to celebrate the small victories!

So I stayed in the 180's in the last round barely. I totally missed the last few days of the last challenge, weighed my self everyday, and truly thought I had recorded it LOL until I looked today. I think this time of year, truly is TOO busy. But, I am back and ready to go!

5/28 199.9 Happy dance!!! Great way to start off this round.
5/29 199.5 Well…happily the scale did not reflect the snacks I ate yesterday…..something I haven’t really done since the beginning of April. A small kit kat bar, potato chips, and fudge cookies. However, we’ve been helping one of our daughters move the past several days…so I’ve been working my tail off (and hopefully my belly, too….lol). But it’s back to sticking with my calorie goal today.
5/30 199.6
5/31 199.0 This was after I ate a bowl of homemade spaghetti and meat sauce last night. Despite the fact that I’m working hard to lose weight, I also really don’t want to deprive myself of things I like to eat. I had made the spaghetti because I had some of the grandchildren over for dinner, otherwise I probably would have had a salad and some chicken breast or something. So I made the decision to go ahead and eat with them…I just paid attention to how much I served myself. If I’m going to continue to be successful at losing weight, it’s all about portion size.

5/30--217.8 Most of the soreness is gone.

5/30 169.2; ran, went to Zumba, drank lots of water, and stayed well under my calorie limit yesterday. Feeling good this round.

5/28 - 187.8 - Well this was a surprise since the last 10 days nothing seemed to be happening.
5/29 - 189.4 - Such a frustrating process this is
5/30 - 190.8 - Yesterday was a crap day, I met a guy for lunch I used to work with, who has successfully lost and is maintaining a 60 lb loss. The problem is he insists on KFC. He plans for it every Tuesday. He told me yesterday that is his big meal of the day. He works 12 hour shifts 5AM to 5PM so he goes to bed around 7 each night to be ready for his long day, so he is fasting from 3pm until around 7am the next day. I find KFC doesn't fill me, I am always hungry a couple hours after I eat it. I did go for two walks to burn off some calories but not enough.
5/31- 189.6 - well going in the right direction again.
6/01 - 188.2 - Pleasantly surprised again.
6/02 - 189 - another bad day yesterday need to buckle down again

5/28 - 170.5 - My daughter took me to a wine and painting party on Saturday night and we had the family over for a picnic yesterday and today. I enjoyed some food I hadn't had since last Summer and I really have no regrets. I stayed very mindful of the amounts I ate and although I went over my calories I know this is a little blip due to family. I did not over-indulge as I have done in the past. I'm sure it will show up in the next couple days, but I'm hoping I can end this round at 169.5 since I saw that number a couple times last round.
5/29 - 171 - I was expecting this, but I'm back on plan today and I hope I don't go up anymore this week.
5/30 - 169.5 - Well, there went the water weight from the past few days. I may bobble up and down the next couple days, but I'm happy to have hit this number this early in the round.
5/31 - 169 - This is nice, but due to some unexpected blood test results, my Dr. has taken me off the water pills that were prescribed a few years ago for my high blood pressure. It will be interesting to see how this will affect my weight. I'll just have to make sure to track my inches.
6/01 - 169 - I'm holding steady for now.
6/02 - 168.5 - Well, this was a surprise!
