Lilylady3k

My goal for 2019 is to get into ONEderland. Changing my life.

SW: 245 (12/28/2018)
R63: 245 (+/-0)
R64: 243.3 (-1.7)
R65: 241.6 (-1.7)

Round 65:
1/13 - 243.3 - @ Camp no scale; using WI from 1/10 for start of this round. 17 day tracking streak! Yesterday walked the nearby county park and gardened. Long drive home today. Need to watch the snacking, fast food, drink plenty of water and walk this evening.
1/14 - 244.1 - Up a little after the weekend at fishing camp which is not a surprise but I was so much more in control. Less snacking, less alcohol. Could have moved more. And then when returned home my sister made sodium laden red beans and rice. Lots of water to offset.
1/14 - 243 - Couldn't believe the scale this morning so hoped back on again at 10am. It looks like it was a fluke earlier. I wish it was always that easy to drop.
1/15 -242.3 - Drinking water, cut back on alcohol, less snacking, less sitting more standing/walking.
1/16 - 240.7 - Changing my daily routine! “You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. Maxwell”
1/17 - 243.2 - Yesterday … Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Stressful day at work. No snacking but challenges. Large spaghetti at lunch. Salad at book club but with 2 glasses of wine. Not enough water all day. Positive: walked 1+ miles in the rain to burn off some of the stress. Not once but twice!
1/18 - 242.1 - Too much desk time and not enough water. Walked loop 1+ miles. Oreo Cheesecake dessert I made for fundraiser that has now been cancelled was calling me yesterday and caved twice. Taking it to party Sat to get it out of the house. Today’s challenge … no dessert TODAY!
1/19 - 242.1 - Well I caved to that darn dessert again yesterday. Win was that I left food on my plate at lunch. Didn’t feel the need want desire to finish it. Walked the Galleria Mall with my daughter for steps.
1/20 - 242.4 - too much food and poor choices made at party last night, no alcohol was my win for the day, walked 1+ miles
1/21 - 241.1 - walked 3 miles yesterday. Threw all the leftover dessert out of the house after everyone left last night! Official Monday WI down 4 lbs for the year!
1/22 - 241.6 - Yesterday book club boxed up half my meal! Walked 3+ miles. Lots of water. Good day.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 173.8 / I’m really pissed off cuz I’m up 1 lb since yesterday for no apparent reason. Does anyone else gain weight day after exercise?
01/14
01/15
01/16 — 174 Ugh the last few days have sucked when it’s come to weight loss. I’ve literally gone nowhere. I had aunt flo come to visit and that usually makes me gain weight and be very bloated. Plus didn’t exercise. But Today is a new day. I ordered Isagenix and all my stuff came last night. I’m excited to restart and reboot!!

01/17 172 — The 16th was an Isagenix Shake day and a big workout. The 17th- I did an Isagenix Cleanse, ie it’s more of a fast. But you also lose weight very fast. The bad part is mental fogginess.

01/18 169.6 —- I said OMG!! (in a good way) when i saw the number on the scale today. I’m not one of these Isagenix salespersons (but can took you ip if you need!) but it’s given me very fast results here when I’ve been incredibly stuck all month and feeling out of control!...I’m so happy to have my toe in the 160s again!! Also I definitely see a difference with belly fat down. Today is a shake day and I just want to keep this going!

01/19 170.6 Went to gym
01/20 172 went to gym in -18C @8:30am for a boot camp class. I’m proud of myself for going even though I’m really disappointed in my non weight loss so far. Scale seems to be going the wrong way This happens to me ALOT whenever I’ve tried to lose weight. I’m trying to stick with it though and see if I can build up my overall fitness and muscle tone.
01/21 172.2
01/22 171.8

total weight loss for the challenge: 2lbs... Not really Woo Hoo!! territory...
was hoping for 5 but at least it’s headed in the right direction!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 211.2 back to boot camp, and feeling good.
01/14 208.6 I usually weigh myself when I get up, and wait until I get to work to write my post. I could not wait for this one! What a great way to start the day = )
01/15 208.8 Kickboxing last night, and I made some delicious Skinnytaste skillet cordon bleu, Things are good.
01/16 208.8 Had the hungry horrors last night.... All I wanted to do was snack, and all I wanted was carbs ! Spent 1/2 the night searching for mac and cheese recipes! I guess I know what I will be making this weekend!
01/17 209.0. Not unexpected. Kickboxing tonight
01/18 208.2 Ill take it! Looking forward to a long weekend, even if I am snowed in = )
01/19 208.2 keeping with in my calories, and exercising at least 3 days a week...would love to see a drop soon... just a little one.
01/20 207.2. I will take it ! Made some skinnytaste lightened up Mac&Cheese yesterday and portioned it out.... Bring it in snow ! Making some zucchini lasagna today.
01/21 207.5 snowed in yesterday, and didn't use it as an excuse to eat myself out of house and home = victory
01/22 208.6... honestly annoyed....snowed in, followed calories, and slid all the way to kickboxing last night....and I am up over a pound....still down from where I started this challenge....so that's good.

still annoying that I can't just have a regular weekend and eat maintenance calories without jumping up on the scale all crazy. It seems like the closer I get to my goal the more I am fluctuating on the scale.

I don't know if it helps but you are not alone. I know this is a lifestyle and not a diet but at the same time it is agrivating, I also can't have a "normal" weekend without crazy up ticks. The only thing I have noticed is the longer you maintain at a weight the less of an uptick you will have. I used to have 6+lb up ticks but now I don't see more than 4. Just stick to it and eventually those up ticks won't be as much, especially when your body finally clues into your body's weight change. You got this!

Round 61 11st 12lb (-1 lb)
Round 62 11st 11.6lb (-0.5lb
Round 63 11st 11.8lb (+0.2lb)
Round 64 11st 8.0lb (-3.8lb)
Round 65 11st 6.8lb (-1.2lb)

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 11st 8.0lb No change today, but slightly earlier weigh in. Looking for similar loss this round if possible.
01/14 11st 8.2lb Later weigh in, not that it's done me any favours. Had less than allowed MFP calories yesterday. I was going to go for a walk today but the weather looks miserable outside. I really need to reset my bedtime and getting up time so that I start having normal days again.
01/15 11st 8.2lb No change to weight. I went to bed 3 hours earlier than yesterday, but it didn't help that much as I couldn't sleep for ages even though I'd fallen asleep on the sofa for an hour before I went to bed. Was restless much of the night. Despite coming in at less calories again and actually getting out yesterday for the walk I still haven't had a loss. Disappointed.
01/16 11st 8.2lb Still no change. I ate slightly under calories again - my trend weight is not looking good at all.
01/17 11st 7.6lb Finally a 0.5lb loss which takes me just 0.2lb lower than I was 10 days ago. Oh well, no one said this was going to be easy! I'd like to be at least 1.5lb lower this round.
01/18 11st 7.4lb Earlier weigh in than usual so I'm happy with a 0.2lb loss. Hoping to keep to this earlier weigh in as I'd only be fooling myself if I waited another couple of hours, and besides, I want my breakfast!
01/19 11st 7.4lb. No change, but that's ok. Was expecting a bit of a loss as I got out and walked yesterday but so long as I don't gain I'm happy.
01/20 11st 7.0lb Late weigh in but I'll accept this as correct..tomorrow might disagree!
01/21 11st 7.0lb Early weigh in so happy with this. I moved the scale and it showed higher so I moved it back again!

01/22 11st 6.8lb Later weigh in. Round finished at 1.2lb loss. Slightly less than I'd hoped for but in going in the right direction.

@tlgale i'm sorry you're feeling lonely. I know it's not the same as IRL, but at least this group isn't going anywhere. Others have already provided great advice I think.
@back2cute Don't feel bad. What you feel is a tough time is absolutely legitimate and shouldn't be measured against others. As for the comfort eating, I only realised through this group that i'm an emotional eater - when I need a reward, when i'm stressed, when i'm sad... I try to replace eating with a tea or coffee (no sugar) and watching a series, doing some yoga, and I started writing down things I'm grateful for/annoyed me. Especially updating this every day, throws up a lot of things that feel good to write down - and the nice notebook and pen were a reward, better than chocolate
@thewaffle86 well done on C25K and your loss!

👏👏👏 to everything

GW 140
UGW 125

01/13 143.8 a slight bump up, yesterday was hard. A big family breakfast and dinner and although I started out great, by the end of the day I gave in after dinner to snacks. Sheeeeesh! This is getting more and , more difficult as I go on. Work so hard to loose a little, takes nothing to gain a little. I am going to have to pre-plan for next week. I will schedule Saturdays as my rest day workout wise (there is no way to get around it) but my eating needs to be on point. I'm ok with a cheat meal here and there but it can't be on a day I don't work out
I
01/14 145.8 WHAT THE FUNK!!! I know this weekend was rough for me, I know I didn't workout yesterday, got minimal steps in and my eating wasn't the greatest but this is so dissapointing all the same. I want to say I deserve this but I also don't. I looked at my exercise log and noticed that I worked out for the last 8 days straight and managed to only maintain, yet I have two bad nights (not two whole days, just around dinner time) and my weight bumps up this much. I am getting so aggravated now. This was my number after 10 days of Christmas holidays...so like I said WHAT THE FUNK!! I am so grumpy today 😫😧

01/15 no weigh in. Woke up late jogged and some weight lifting yesterday but not much else

01/16 143.8 and back to my number at the beginning of the round. The past couple of days I have been grumpy and slightly depressed (besides this group I have been telling others I wasn't feeling well, it's so much easier then explaining depression). It demotivated me and although I did get a jog and some weight training in on Monday and yesterday had 90 min of volleyball, today I am determined to do my usual routine and get my butt back into it. I am finally sick of this number and am ready to change it. Yesterday I only got 4000+ steps (like I said wasn't feeling the greatest) but I did eat under calories and 2 liters of water. If I have trouble loosing by the end I am going to try the egg fast @deepwoodslady has been talking about.

01/17 144.4 did nothing to deserve this uptick, this is getting frustrating. +30,000 steps, worked out, ate under Calories and 1.8 liters of water. I am half determined and half annoyed. Why is this getting so darn difficult. Work out like crazy but only manage a maintain or smal gain😧😧 trying to keep my head on straight. I am usually an upbeat, motivated person but I do crash at times and when I fall, I fall. I am trying to keep going and not consintrate on the number too much. Wanted to be bellow 140s by the time my birthday hit but that came and went and I was fine.., then wanted to be bellow the 140s by my 9 year anniversary (Jan 23rd) but I am starting to think that won't happen and it is really concerning me. Sorry for whining. Just aggravated

01/18 143.6 and back down. I don't know if it's the time of the year because I had this same trouble last year around this time and maybe my body is just holding onto some fat in order to be betrer insilated for the winter. Today I realized this whole time I wasn't upset about not being able to loose, i was upset about trying so hard and to not see the scale budge at all, makes me wonder what would have happened if I wasn't trying. I guess I can finally answer the question about all the steady gains in my life and how I could have possibly let it get away from me. After these ten days it will be officially a month of no change. Thank gosh I feel better, over all when I workout or else I don't know if I would have continued sticking too it. I can feel the frustration, nipping at my willpower. My thoughts are, if I am going to gain anyway I might as well stop watching everything, weighing everything, using alternative methods for food....but I know I have to stop these thoughts dead, trying to remind myself it's about being healthy, weight loss is just the bonus. Once again sorry for the rant, i have been grumpy all week.

01/19142.0 Wow! That's all I have to say. My scale said 141.6 but after jumping on a couple more times, this came up. I am so confused, yesterday I ate so much food, I was so hungry it wasn't even funny. However I did work out good and got in a little over 17000 steps and drank 1.5 liters of water. I also took my measurements this morning and have lost 1/2 an inch almost everywhere so I am actually relieved and happy today with the results. I just hope they stick around or I can continue this steady drop over the next couple of days *fingers crossed*

01/20 143 I did this to myself. I had a great day but once UFC started and the food stated rolling in, I couldn't help myself. The only NSV here is it wasnt treats, chips, popcorn or pizza. Surprisingly it was the chicken and steak, mini, homemade, smoked kabobs that got me. It didn't kill my calories but it was eaten later than 7. So pretty much a late night snack. I was so excited to stay on the path after yesterday's weigh in but for some reason, every time I mention a drop in weight...or "killing it" I, on the same day tend to sabatoge myself. Ahh well. Today is a new day.

01/21 didn't weigh in, woke up really late and had to rush.

01/22141.8 finally!!! My gosh my body is really making me fight for it. I am happy with this. Down a pound and didn't make my goal but I am ok with that, as long as I am seeing some sort of result. Walked +18000 steps, drank 1.25 liters (I know, i know I really need to get better at this) exercised and stayed under calories.


Thank you everyone who messaged me this round, it was definitley a super grumpy, cranky couple of days and I really appreciate the love❤ it helped so much

@abowersgirl I feel your pain! BTW I love that you post your old results from the other challenges and can watch your weight loss journey but I can see it’s taken dedication and many weeks and rounds. I can relate to this so much, as well as going up on the scale for no apparent reason sometimes. I’m so glad I found this board.. Been struggling on my own for a very long time.

First time here at this challenge!!
Thanks for having me!

SW 190

Day/Weight/Comment
‪01/13 190‬ - I’m getting back into the swings of things again by cutting out sugar & processed junk.
‪01/14 188‬ - I’m starting the day out right with some black coffee & I'm looking forward to the gym this afternoon.
‪01/15 185‬ - This week & this challenge are starting out well. I’m very pleased! No gym yesterday as I feel run down, like I’m fighting a cold. I’ve decided to pay close attention to my eating & listen to my body.
‪01/16 185‬ - No change today but I am at least feeling a little better. I think the Zicam & rest are helping. I need to drink more water as I am relying on coffee & tea a bit too much during these last few cold days.
01/17 187 - Not sure what I did “wrong” other than more water yesterday but maybe a bit too much sodium .. time to tighten up a bit more & trust the process.
01/18 188 - Things are going the wrong direction because of some water retention but it’s not too late to turn them around!! Slow & Steady!
01/19 188 - Holding Steady ... not feeling my best but I won’t give up!
01/20 188 - No weigh in
01/21 191 - I’m owning this! I could give so many excuses but it’s just not necessary. I didn’t take care of myself this weekend & the scale shows. Tomorrow will be better!
01/22 - 190 - Right back where I started. But I’ve learned a lot this week that’s for sure! I’m looking forward to the next round & making some real progress.

@euronorris Thank you for that mouthwatering description! We had a neighbor in southern Illinois who was British. We enjoyed one holiday dinner with her family and the Yorkshire pudding was SOOOO good. Very much like the popovers I used to make.

JANUARY GOALS: Lose 10 pounds and 3 inches

01/13 ~ 223.0 @ 8:00am - Off to a good start!
01/14 ~ 222.2 @ 6:00am – yayyy, but also kinda skeptical ~ I keep looking over my shoulder for all the chips this weekend, lol ~ I did however, SLEEEEP for a solid 10 hours which I haven't done in months. Have a great week Fit Fam!!
01/15 ~ 223.8 @ 6:45am - been eating pretty lightly past few days so hoping it's just remnants from a heavy meat dinner last night. Ate and went to bed late, so thinking my body didn't have enough time to "clean sweep" so to speak. If I'm right should see a drop tomorrow. 🤞
01/16 ~ 223.0 @ 6:45am - 🙏 ~ back on track, but uuggghhh can still feel and see it in my belly. And even though was well within calories, all those Terra Blues Chips and red meat the past few days have turned into a 2-day set back and another lesson learned. Will definitely think twice next time!
01/17 ~ 219.0 !!!!! @ 5:30am - almost fainted.
01/18 ~ 218.8 @ 6:00am Horribly stressful day yesterday and another rough day ahead ... alcohol is an "absolute" certainty this evening.
01/19 ~ DNW or log or do anything nutritionally productive.
01/20 ~ 218.0 @ 11:30am - glad to see .... have been helping extended family sort a personal crisis the past few days and feeling a tiny bit run down. Yesterday I had to unexpectedly shop for, clean cook and help host a get together for 10 until 3:00am. Today will be 3 days without working out and my IF schedule is completely shot!! Going to need rest of the day to get back in the swing of things.
01/21 ~ 217.8 @ 5:00am
01/22 ~ 219.2 @ 6:30 am – DANGER Will Robinson ~ 3 cheese pasta, dip and chips stress eating + half-hearted (instead of HIIT) exercise is upon you!! YOU MUST do better today!!! Then I should probably go stand in front of my mirror naked ..... congrats and condolences peeps. See you next round.

Round 55 thru Round 64 *-12.53
Round 65 * TBD

OSW - 213
CW - 178.6
RGW - 177.6
UGW – 135

1/13 178.6 I’ll take it. I’ve had no power since yesterday around 1 pm. Missed the Chiefs beating the Colts! Go Chiefs!!!! Instead got a 2 mile walk in just around the neighborhood. It was beautiful. A lady stopped me to ask if I needed a ride. I thanked her for the offer, explained that I was just walking for the pleasure of it. She just nodded her head and drove off. This morning I’m going to shovel the driveway and consider that my exercising for the day. Must conserve phone power
1/14 No Scale Still now power. Used some points from all my work travel to stay at a hotel. I really needed a hot shower so I could come to work clean today! Fingers crossed the power comes back on while I'm here. There are still over 40,000 people in the greater Kansas City area without power. I know they're working on it. I did stay within calories yesterday. My only exercise was shoveling my driveway but depending on what app you believe it burned either 380 or 650. I assumed the lower number but still a good workout. My legs are sore today. I forgot to celebrate that I'm in the 170's. It's been at least 10 years since I was in the 170s. NSV due to the weather I needed to wear warm slacks and packed accordingly. When I got dressed this morning I didn't realize how long it had worn them. They're too big!!! Of course I'm stuck in them all day but it's the price of of all this and I'm happy to pull them up every time I stand up!
1/15 180.2 Up over a pound but I suspect it's that old demon sodium. I had to attend a work lunch yesterday at a Chinese restaurant. Impossible to avoid it. Good news the power is back on!!! I did not get to work out yesterday as I has planned. Dealing with house stuff and work stuff made it impossible. I'm going tonight. I have a hair appt at 5:00 so I won't be able to go until after but my body needs the workout. I've not been going over calories, but haven't been eating super healthy either. A work out and a salad will do me a world of good. I think I'll be back down to at least 179.X tomorrow. It's a roller coaster baby try to enjoy the ride.
1/16 180.2 Again but I’m pretty sure it’s still retained water. Ate within calories and got a little over an hour at the gym doing weights. Should be back on the trail today as long as it doesn’t rain.
1/17 180.0 At this point I'll be happy if I get back to where I started at this round. I guess it could be lingering sodium. I don't know. As I say every round: trust the process. I just need constant reminders. I stayed within goals and walked three miles in the freezing mist. Actually wasn't that bad. Going again tonight, I found a trail that has been cleared of snow!!! I don't have good shoes for walking in snow. Ten feet from my car my foot "broke" thru the snow. I went home with one wet cold foot HAHAHA.
1/18 180.4 And the hits just keep coming. Up today despite staying within calories and exercising yesterday. On my way to work there was an accident that forced me on a different route. Which prompted my desire to get something not so healthy for breakfast instead of the oatmeal that was waiting for me at the office. I was feeling sorry for myself at 180.4 and thought a McDonald's sausage biscuit would taste pretty good right about now. As I got closer I started to think of how good it would taste, then I remembered how my stomach would feel about an hour later. How three days ago I felt like junk because of bad food choices. So my positive thought for the day is I drove away from McD's without that crappy breakfast and instead enjoyed my healthier choice. I gotta take that as a win.
1/19 179.9 At least it's down. No exercise yesterday and probably none today. Freezing rain followed by snow. Fingers crossed we keep the power this week. My yard is still full of branches, it's 9 degrees and still snowing. Old Kris would bake and eat a bunch of cookies. I guess I'll do an exercise video or something. I started this round down 35 pounds and I just want to get back to that. When I lost weight before I plateaued at 180 pounds. This is bringing back bad memories.
1/20 179.9 Yes well I didn't walk on Saturday too cold. Stayed within calories but not healthy ones.
1/21 181.5 I blame the Chiefs for this. I was pretty good until the 4th quarter then I stress ate like a monster. Salami slices with cheese and crackers. Graduating to mini cookies and even been a slice of cake. We can blame bad officiating favoring Tom Brady but I think it was an overall weak defense... AGAINST SNACKS!
1/22 182.1 I walked four miles yesterday and three the day before in freezing sub freezing temps and I'm still up. The trail was mostly clear of ice (trees were all over the place) but I still managed to fall and have a bruise on my backside to prove it. Granted I'm getting kind of addicted to walking in the cold (after the first 1/2 mile) but still. I had a weird food day yesterday. No breakfast, then we went to a pan Asian restaurant for lunch and had a salad I don't know how to log (I took a stab anyway) and shared some ramen, that while delicious, I'm sure is full of sodium. I was good for dinner but knew I'd still but up today just not up even higher. I'm going to avoid sodium today and hope for a whoosh tomorrow. Otherwise this will be my worst round yet. It's the curse of the 180's or maybe I'm manufacturing this with memories. How can we know?

Day/Weight/Comment/10-day calorie ave

01/13 - 138.8 - 1683
I've decided to stop obsessing about calories, at least for this round, and to focus on macros (approx. 20% P, 30% F, 50% carbs, mostly veggies, fruit, and whole grains) plus exercise, meditation, fun, community, and sleep. Although I'd like to weigh about 10-12 pounds less, I'm at a healthy weight and feel good, so as maintenance or slow loss, I'm happy either way.

01/14 - 140 - 1706
Sodium yesterday, and not enough water. Back on track today.

01/15 - 139.2 - 1691
Yesterday was a good day. I was on track with food, although my macros were off (too much fat, not enough veggie carbs), and I had a great 90 minute workout at the Y - walking, weights, bike. I love the Precor video bikes - I rode up a mountain in the Italian Alps! I'm making gluten free crab cakes for lunch -- mmmmmm!

01/16 - 138.2 - 1701
That's better. I ate responsibly yesterday and did an hour+ on the bike.

01/17 - 139 - 1724
I'm sticking to my exercise program, but not so much to my calorie goals. I clearly reset my sugar cravings over the holidays! But I'm working on it....and today is a new day. Reset!

01/18 - 139.2 - 1969
Gaaa! I don't know what's wrong with me lately. Ate too much. It was all good, healthy food, just too much of it. Off to the gym, and stocking up on veggies for big snow that's coming tomorrow.

01/19 - 139.2 - 1532
We're snowed in today, so I'm planning house stuff - rearranging some furniture, cleaning, cooking....maybe a nap!

01/20 - 139.6 - 1736
It's MUCH colder today -- 14F, windchill -2. Glad I shoveled yesterday while it was in the balmy 20s! We're staying home, so I've spent the morning doing things I usually don't. Stay warm and safe, those of you also getting pounded by snow, ice, and c-c-c-cold!

01/21 - 139 - 1574
Even colder today - last time I checked it was -10F. But tomorrow it's going to be warmer! I'd really like to get to the gym today, but might stay home to write and paint (art, not walls). And to keep my kitten, Stirling, out of trouble - he's a real corker this morning!


01/22 - 139 - 1654
Didn't make it to the gym yesterday, but I'm heading there in a few minutes. Weight steady this round, which is fine considering I've been baking up a storm - bread, healthy muffins.... Don't know what's gotten into me - must be the COLD weather! The upside is that I'm eating more calories and holding pretty steady. The downside is that although I'm at a healthy weight, I'd like to be 10-15 pounds lighter. I plan to get there in 2019, but slowly is fine. So on to R66!

01/13 - Sunday - 176.8
01/14 - Monday - DNW
01/15 - Tuesday - 175.0 - I considered sitting this round out. My mental health is taking a beating at the moment with work related things for both me and DH. NOT focusing on that stress though. Only solutions. And I realized that burying my head in the sand and ignoring my own physical health would only be feeding the stress monster, not solutions. I do plan to give myself some grace this round and not push as hard - My mom, grandma and myself are going on a Spa sleepover for grandma's 85th birthday Thursday/Friday! Good genes on that side of the family! Timing could not be better. So, taking things one day, one step, one foot in front of the other at a time.
01/16 - Wednesday - 176.0 - TOM is due Saturday but we also have been TTC this month - so not sure if I'm extra hungry with TOM actually due or if I we did perhaps conceive this month - I'll find out soon enough. Just hoping that if TOM does come it waits til after mini vaca. Either way I was just so hungry last night. I kept trying to reign it in but I was like the hungry caterpillar, little of this, little of that on and on. I'm going away tomorrow and wont be home til Friday night so no weigh ins and unplugging. Really really really working on my attitude at work, because I chose how I react to situations, not the situation getting a desired reaction out of me! It's really hard to be positive sometimes, but after all, most good things don't come easy.
01/17 - Traveling
01/18 - Traveling
01/19 - DNW
01/20 - DNW
01/21 - DNW
01/22 - Tuesday - 179.6 - Well I just Freudian slipped and typed 197 at first, and it was a good reminder that I HAVE come a long way despite this emotional eating uptick. I'm still learning. I did have a wonderful and relaxing girls trip that included nothing but relaxing and eating. TOM did arrive Saturday, that made me sad, but its probably for the best right now. Work continues to beat me down in a serious way. I may be moving on. That's been terrifying for me. But I knew I needed to come back and post a final weigh in for accountability. I AM NOT GIVING UP! Not on my weight loss, not on my professional improvement, not on myself!
