03/13 …..186.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

03/14 …..185.8 ….. Nice to see a drop again. Like some of the others I feel very sore from a lot of the exercise. I may decrease the amounts today and allow a little rest to these old bones & muscles. I will spend the time prep cooking for my freezer. I may skip going to the potluck/pool hall that I attend on Thursdays. We will see. Yesterdays stats: 1089 Calories In / 2795 calories out. 12 Net Carbs mostly in veggies. 21,329 Total Steps & 9.03 Total Miles. I wanted to IF 12:12 (two week metabolism reset plan) but found that I’m just too busy at my planned starting time due to my work schedule. Today I will attempt again but at a bit of a later starting time. My IF yesterday was 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my Fitbit while sleeping so no exact tracking on sleep, but my best clock estimate was just over 5 hours. I walked 112 minutes inside the school and danced for 51 minutes on my make-believe dance floor in my livingroom. Sample Song “Everyday People” by Sly & the Family Stone. Good luck this round everyone. I have read all the posts in this new round up until my own & you guys have already put me in a motivated and terrific mood. I feel empowered! Thanks Everyone!

03/15 …..185.6 ….. I skipped the pool hall & potluck last night & focused on the flooding in our area. Because my home is on a slab, the danger of it getting into my house is real so I bailed water until 4:00 a.m. It also rained & that was not helping. I have a new ground drain outside but it is frozen over or buried so I could not find it. Today will also be challenging. I hope to find it before I travel this week or I will come home to a sunken ship! We still have about 8 inches of snow across the grass & large hills along the sidewalks & driveways. Sunny days are causing the meltdown. If it is not too sunny today I would like to get down to the school to walk again. Yesterday’s stats: 1054 Calories In / 2145 Calories Out. 13 Net Carbs. 16,275 Total Steps & 6.89 Miles. IF 12:12 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 33 minutes and was up early to start bailing the water. I am very angry right now that my husband died on me 3 years ago. I walked a short walk of 11 minutes & I danced for 33 minutes. Sample song “Faith” by George Michael. Have a great weekend everyone. And please, stop one moment & say a prayer that I find that ground drain & get it unfrozen & drinking in the water & melting snow.

03/16 …..185.6 ….. I never found the ground drain myself for the flooding. I finally thought to call the man who put it in & he guided me by phone & bam, found it! Thanks for the hugs & prayers that led me back to the plumber. Cold & gloomy again but waiting for the meltdown & ready this time. Yesterday’s stats: 1264 Calories In / 2640 Calories Out. 19 Net Carbs. 15,616 Total Steps & 6.42 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I Slept for 5 hours & 23 minutes and am feeling very tired today. Really dragging butt. I took a moderate paced walk around my property for 13 minutes yesterday & I danced for 63 minutes in one long set. Sample song “Mockingbird” by Carly Simon & James Taylor. Such a good groove/vibe to get into! Not enough water lately. I’ve got to try harder on that front. It affects everything.
03/17 …..186.4 ….. What the heck? I have no idea how it went up 0.8 . I’ve done everything right! I do have a new recipe that I used in prep cooking which I’ve eaten a couple of times from the freezer. I wonder if I’ve imputed the ingredients properly for the correct calorie & carb information. I am going to put the recipe in again today & see what happens. Maybe I’ve been going over my macros without knowing it! Not much sleep last night so that didn’t help. Also, not enough water again so no BM again. All are factors. Yesterdays stats according to what I thought I knew: 1190 Calories In / 2680 Calories out. 21 Net Carbs. 14,307 Total Steps & 6.05 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. IF 12:12. I slept 2 hours & 43 minutes but am actually feeling pretty good right now. I walked at moderate pace for 29 minutes & I danced for 48 minutes with my son! Sample song “Dream no More” by Metallica. Warning/Disclaimer = It’s a heavy metal song that he picked. Not my groove but it worked for us. Happy Sunday everyone!
03/18 …..187.6 ….. I Obviously enjoyed St. Patty’s Day yesterday showing an additional gain this morning to go along with unexplained weight gain still lingering from the day before as well. I double checked my recipes & they are correct so I’m not sure what is going on (prior to the celebrations) which showed a mysterious gain. Trusting the process. Yesterday’s stats (making things worse) had too many calories to count, easily 2500 is my guess. Unknown carbs. Fitbit information is as follows on all else: 2390 Calories burned. 11,300 Total Steps & 4.78 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes & had an early weigh-in this morning. No planned exercise yesterday but had to work until late afternoon yesterday so I got my steps in before any celebrations began. Have a great week everyone. I will read your posts as able & see you when I get back!
03/19 ….. ….. Travel-no scale. Will log & post as able. Travel going well but so much sitting! I will try to do a little walking today. For those of you just getting to know me, I live in a very rural area. We have one grocery, a gas station that still pumps our gas for us. A Pharmacy, one dollar store and some Amish stores such as lumber and general store. 2 Family restaurants & a McDonald’s built just a few years ago. We also have one pizza place with, of course, no delivery available. No stores, no strip malls, no big malls, no plazas. Our school house is one building for headstart through 12th grade. The average amount of students to graduate each year is about 12 kids. To get to towns that have Chinese food, Mexican food, Italian Food, dairy queens, donut shops or bakeries, even a walmart is such a joy. To see things like KFC, Arbys, Burger King, Wendys, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell is Wow wow wow. It has, thus far been a temptation that I have been unable to resist. When traveling, I see a menu & I just can’t contain myself. It puts me weeks backwards on any weight loss everytime I travel, even for an overnight! At home there are no gyms, pools, walking trails, bike trails etc that are groomed. They allow us to walk inside the schoolhouse for exercise during the school year. In the summer we can walk to track at the school, or in my neighborhood. Most streets are dirt roads and we share them with the Amish horses so watch out where you step lol. So I walk at the school & I dance. And I go overboard when I’m out of town around new sensational foods. But I am learning & using new habits that help. I just wanted to give all the newbies a bit of history. I am in remission for breast cancer so taking care of myself is vital & I hate my setbacks more than you know. I am caring for my adult (but childlike) Autistic son alone. My husband passed away 3 years ago this month. I was his caregiver for several years & that was tough. I own & run two small businesses from my home/on my property. Cabin rentals. It keeps me active. My hands are full & it is difficult to do all of this alone now, but I strive & I do my best. I have lost a lot of weight in the past year, but these past few months (since fall) have been horrid. I am trying to get back on track & I consider my necessary travels a setback. Bittersweet. I enjoy getting out there in the world, yet I don’t because of its impact on me. I thank everyone for their continued support. The ideas I have been given are tremendous. I want you to know that none of it is wasted on me. I am not always on target, but I use them all in my strong times. You’ve made all the difference in my little world. Thanks for the chance to introduce myself to all of you who do not yet really know me.
03/20 ….. ….. Travel-no scale. Will log & post as able. Too many calories & carbs to figure. I am writing it down & will log it when I get home. My fitbit information is as follows for yesterday: 2705 Calories burned/Out. 14,246 Steps which I worked hard for during this trip. 6.03 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my fitbit overnight but clock shows nearly 7 hours of sleep! I never EVER get that much sleep at home. I guess it really does show how much my sleep is interrupted/impacted by the cabin rentals & guests I have on my property. Keeps me up late at night, yet up earlier than I need. Yikes…… I managed to get in a 23 minute walk. Happy hump day everyone!
03/21 ….. ….. Travel-no scale. Will log & post as able. Fitbit info for yesterday: 2061 Calories Out. 7,275 Total Steps. 3.08 Miles. IF 12:12. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 18 minutes. No exercise yesterday so I made up for it today with a long walk. On the road again tomorrow & heading home. Had my days mixed up, pot luck would have been tonight so I guess I missed it. I am packing healthy low carb snacks for the road tomorrow to minimize the damage. I will try to make decent choices at any restaurants & carry some water in the car.
03/22 ….. ….. Daytime travel home today. Oh my! Managed a long walk yesterday but I miss my dancing! I will be home by this evening. Yesterday’s Fitbit stats: Too many calories & carbs to list but I did better than the day before for sure! Much better choices but the portions were a little large. 2559 Calories Out. 15,441 Total Steps & 6.54 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. IF 12:12. I slept 7 hours & 42 minutes people! Wow, what happens when my sleep is not constantly disrupted by my work at home! I walked for 1 hour & 19 minutes moderately paced which helped offset the dinner I had. Had lots of R & R but it will be nice to be home.

03/23 ….. ….. Final round weigh in. What is the total damage? Covering my eyes when I hit that scale!

Ready to cement these life changes.

HW (age 14) - 175 lb
SW Jan 2015 - 165 lb
lost down to 130 then gained back to 140 and within the last 8 months slipped back into bad habits
SW Jan 2019 - 147.5 lb
GW - 135 lb
R67 EW = 141 lb; ∆ = -2.2 lb
R68 EW = 138.2 lb; ∆ = -2.8 lb
R69 EW = 135 lb; ∆ = -3.2 lb
R70 EW = 134.8 lb; ∆ = -0.2 lb

Goal is to get my weight trend app to reach my goal weight 135, so I will also be reporting my trend

Day/Weight/Comment
03/13 134.8 t = 136.5
03/14 135.8 (up 1 lb) t = 136.3
Had a lot of salt yesterday, and I woke up super sore today. It's going to be a struggle to get my steps in.
03/15 134.8 t = 136.1
I think I dropped my water weight! Just in time for the weekend shenanigans 😁 I probably won't be weighing until Monday, but I'll keep you posted. I have a date tonight and tomorrow I'm going into San Francisco for my friend's birthday and some dancing. I'll be back late Sunday but probably too late to weigh, so I'll weigh on Monday.
03/16 DNW
03/17 DNW
03/18 137.3 (up 2.4 lbs) t = 137.2
This was my first time in months not worrying about what I was eating. I didn't even track along at each meal but instead did it at the end of the day. But this was a good lesson for me to learn while I have the accountability of all of you. That the sooner I get back on the horse (the horse being the scale and calorie counting) the easier it is to take off the couple pounds I put on. I had so much fun enjoying food and not worrying. So I think as long as it's only one or two days, and I'm at my goal weight, I'm going to let these instances happen.
03/19 135.4 t = 137
Darn my trend sure isn't budging. The line is still going up. I don't know of it'll ever reach my goal weight. And my new fitbit already started acting funny. It no longer wants to connect to the app so I don't have any updates ugh. I'm gonna have to call today. Have any of you ever had this problem? I have a flex 2.
03/20 135.4 t = 136.8
Started a new job yesterday and it went great. Haven't been keeping up with my cardio so my goal for today is to walk/jog a 5K.
03/21 134.2 t = 136.4 happy about this drop, but I still need to improve my water and cardio. Didn't end up doing the 5k yesterday, but I did do a nice long walk to get my nails done.
03/22 133.6 t = 136 only one more day of this round. I really wanted to make my goal of t = 135 but I don't think it's going to happen ugh. Now that I'm a few lbs past my GW I need to set my maintenance range. I already think I am at the low end of what I'm comfortable with so I want to stop losing weight, but at the same time I still want my dang trend line to reach 135. I am so dang stubborn some times. I think I am going to finish out this round in a deficit and wherever I end up that will be that. My other idea is to readjust my goal to t = 135.5 because that would give me a maintenance range of 133-138. 🤷

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 - NW - Getting ready to head out to the Y to workout. Already ate breakfast and took morning meds. Gotta catch the bus to get there. Will probably do more walking later to get all my steps in.
03/15 - 298.4 - NC - Yesterday I did the treadmill for 30 mins, bike for 30, and then hand weights. I won't be going to the gym today as I am fasting due it to it being Friday and Lent. I'll stop my fast for dinner due to medication which will put it at about 24 hours since I last ate anyways. I see my dietitian today, and I think I am going to skip out on Transitions today. I just don't feel like it. Thinking about it makes me anxious. My CSS may be disappointed, but oh, wells.
03/16 - NW - Yesterday was a rest day for me. The first in about in a month. Today I went to the Y, used the treadmill for about 32 minutes, NuStep 20 minutes and hand weights. Food is on point for the day. Going to just relax for the rest of the day.
03/17 - 295.0 - I'm glad to see the scale unstuck and moving again. I am not sure if I am going to the gym today or just walking around the community room or possibly, outside. I'm running out of lettuce and tomatoes, so...I might make a trip to the store, I might not. We'll see how the math goes with what I have for groceries for the rest of the week until the 26th. I've got some math to do.
03/18 - NW - I did a lot of cleaning yesterday and more to do today to finish off. I will be doing my walking around the community room as there's not enough time to go to the gym with the appointments that I have today without skipping meals and pills, and I can't do that. Having met my goal of 299 my next goal is going to be 275. My baby, my cat, is staring at me as I type this. I think he's trying to telepathically tell me that his bowl is low on food. So, today I'm going to the library. I'll probably walk around there some as it's a big place, and I don't have my hooking (crocheting) materials right now.
03/19 - 293.8 - I did not get my walking in yesterday. I fell asleep in the evening. I have worked on straightening up my apartment the last couple of days I have taken out four bags of trash and two carts of boxes and misc items that were broken but too big for a trash bags. I feel much better in cleaner and more organized space. I plan to attempt to walk later today after my aide leaves.
03/20 - NW - Did Mallwalking today. I walked for an hour and managed to walk about a 5K, I didn't make it to the gym due to the time I got back and had to meet with my CSS and eat. I'm not going to skip meals just to go to the gym.
03/21 - NW - Fell asleep in my chair and stumbled into bed last night forgetting to take my night meds. I didn't want to wake up this morning. I got up and went to a Nutrition 101 class and learned about coconut oil. I then went to the dentist. After lunch I went out for a walk in the park instead of the gym due to the beautiful weather. I walked for an hour and 2.5 miles. It was wonderful. The park behind my building has paved trails, not many, but enough you can kinda take different routes around the park. I came in and walked a flight a stairs before going to my apartment.
03/22 - NW - I totally blanked and forgot to weigh this morning. Since I forgot that it was Friday for awhile, I ate breakfast instead of fasting. I am fasting now until evening instead of the rest of the day because I have to my evening meds with at least 350 calories of food. I am considering skipping my evening snack, but it is also only 90 calories, so not fully decided yet. I am, after dinner, going to walk around the community room for awhile. Tomorrow off to the gym!

DAY - WEIGHT - COMMENT
03/14 - 79,3 kg - starting off strong but this might be because my stomach was upset and I *TMI* had to run to the bathroom multiple times last night we'll see what tomorrow says! Also because I've been under 80kg for 3 days now I'm gonna say I succeeded at my first mini goal!
03/15 - 78,9 kg - okay I guess yesterday was still semi-representative! happy about this. also stopped myself from binging yesterday night so that's good!
03/16 - 78,9 kg - didn't expect a drop from yesterday because I already had been dropping quite a lot quite fast the past couple of days. tonight will be difficult because i'm eating out fast food with some friends, so reminder to myself: don't beat yourself up if there's a gain tomorrow morning haha.
03/17 - 79,4 kg - breathe and move on.
03/18 - 78,8 kg - there we go, back to normal! don't know if my goal this round is possible but we'll just keep doing our thing!
03/19 - 78,2 kg - whoosh!
03/20 - 78,1 kg - /
03/21 - 78,0 kg - will we get under 78 this round? only 2 days left...

03/22 - 77,8 kg - I'm honestly really proud of my progress the past couple of weeks. Sometimes I wish the weight went faster but I didn't gain it all in 2 months so I should not expect to lose it all in that time period. Slow and steady (and healthy~) wins the race. Final day of this round tomorrow! Might see a little gain from this, but that's okay!

03/15 11st 1.6lb - I have no idea what happened here. I went to a cafe with a friend yesterday and while she had lunch I just had a soft drink. In the evening I went where there were cakes which I didn't have. I weighed all of my food and drink as always - I only had 1100 calories (100 under what I should have) although on 1200 I usually just maintain. But putting on almost 1 and a half pounds from yesterday has totally stumped me.

Start Weight on 1st Jan '19
Starting - 158.5lb
End R64 - 154.9lb - Round loss 3.6lb - Loss to date 3.6lb
End R65 - 149.9lb - Round loss 5.0lb - Loss to date 8.6lb
End R66 - 149.9lb - Round loss 0.0lb - Loss to date 8.6lb
End R67 - 148.0lb - Round loss 1.9lb - Loss to date 10.5lb

End R70 - 150.6lb - Round loss 1.8lb - Loss to date 7.9lb

My target for the round is to lose something - ideally be at 149 or less .....

Friends over from the US this weekend which will involve a few drinks and meals out so this weekend may not be pretty on the scales then but nothing other than that.
Need to get back into the losing mind set........... and staying accountable to myself by being on here is probably a good place to start

Start of round 150.6lb

14/03 - 150.0 (down 0.60lb) happy with that start thank you scales!

15/03 - 149.9 (down 0.1lb)
16/03 - DNW - didnt actually get home till 530am after a great night catching up with friends
17/03 - DNW - got a lay in and brought tea in bed
18/03 - DNW - totally forgot
19/03 - DNW - chucked out the bathroom this morning by my daughter! But still hopeful for 149 by the round end. Either got a lay in, totally forgot or else rushed out the bathroom before getting chance to weigh! Not doing very well with my intention for this round of being on here and being accountable to myself..... Promise to myself to remember to weigh tomorrow - still 4 days of the round to go

20/03 - 151.0lb - up 1.1lb - not what I wanted to see but guessing its a hangover from the weekends socialising and the fact that TOM is now overdue I am where I am so going to look at today as my new "1st January" 3 days of the round left to make a difference. My original target for the round was to lose something so need at least 1lb gone before Saturday morning .....

21/03 - 149.3 down 1.7lb. up down up down - my intention is to make this "down" stick around. Still feel bloated - not sure if its because of the weight I'm currently at, not so great eating habits recently, TOM overdue or just general peri-menopausal stuff, but don't like it - will keep glugging away at the water for now and see what happens. Good food day planned and gym tonight and now hopeful to make my 149 target for the round end

22/03 - 149.80 up 0.50lb - food was all good yesterday calorie wise but carb heavy (some rice at lunch and a home made burger in a bun in the evening). HiiT session at the gym last night which i enjoyed. Drank plenty so hoping just a blip. One more weigh in this round - please let me finish under 150 .......

@Tracie_Lord WHOO HOO! Look at you go!! Keep up the great work!!

@jlbtnc Losing 15# in your first 3 rounds is incredible. Give your body a chance to figure out what’s going on. Stick to it, you will continue losing if you are patient.

@quiltingjaine Yes you are right, I am a scale junkie and in the past would have left this derail me. I have to see it in the numbers. I know NSV are just as important, but I have to see the numbers go down. I am OK with it right now and will have to let it work itself out. I am moving a lot more, so maybe this is the reason also.

03/14 — 195.6 — I’m doing well with tracking and staying on my eating plan. Motivated by that vacation coming up.
03/15 — 195.3 — Staying on track. Weekend is here which means more temptation. I plan to allow for 1 cheat this weekend.
03/16 — 195.7 — Ate a little more than usual, but all WOE approved foods.
3/17 — 195.6 — Can’t seem to move off 195. But my blood pressure is better! Happy about that.
03/18 — 195.5 — Keeping on track. Last night was the first time I’ve had a snack after dinner since starting. It was only 8 almonds so I think I’m good.
03/19 — 194.8 — Going in the right direction.
03/20 - 194.0 — Happy with this. Going out today for a spring break fun day with my daughter. I will probably have a cheat item but plan to keep it at one thing. Planning ahead is key for me.
03/21 — 193.7 — Ordered a small mocha coffee yesterday and could only drink a small amount. I’d say that is a win.

03/22 — 193.9 — Over ate a bit yesterday but all WOE approved foods.

03/14 176.4 Water weight is coming off! I’m ready to see what the next 10 days brings! I was within calories yesterday and got in a Fitness Blender upper body workout. Have a great day everyone!
03/15 176.8 Hmm...I was within calories and macros but I've got a little doms from that Fitness Blender workout and yesterday was a stressful day at work. I did get in a short walk. Today is my day off. I plan to do some resting today even though I need to buy some groceries. Not sure if I'll go for my step goal today, but I am thinking of getting a workout in!
03/16 174.8 I surprised myself and got my steps in and I got a workout! A lot of times it can feel a little hard to get 10,000 steps on my day off. But yesterday it felt easy. And I still feel like I had a relaxing day! Back to work today.
03/17 175 It was another crazy day at work yesterday. And I wanted so bad to give in to my old habit of soothing with sweets. "Just forget it. Eat whatever you want!" But I didn't give in to that thought! And it was just perfect timing that pastor is doing a series on feelings and how we don't want to just make decisions based on how we feel!
I'm going to try today and not let the craziness at work get to me.
03/18 175.6 Tried to post earlier but couldn't. Is this the corned beef and the beer? I tracked them both and was supposedly within calories. Anyway it was a delicious way to end my day! I've been gluten free for close to 10 years and hubby bought me a gluten free porter as that used to be my favorite type of beer. It was so good! But I only had 8 oz. It's nice to know I can enjoy it again!
03/19 175 It’s my hubby’s birthday today! But we’re going to have family dinner out tomorrow for his birthday. It’s my day off today, and I’m really taking a rest day today. This past weekend at work was the longest and busiest weekend ever. I might take a short walk because it’s beautiful sunny out today!
03/20 173. 6 I stepped on and off the scale a couple of times just to be sure! I had a pretty nice day off yesterday, and we took a nice sunset walk. Felt like a relaxing day. Tonight we’re going out to dinner for my hubby’s birthday. I’ve guessed how many calories it’s going to be. I’m looking forward to it! I hope you guys have a great day!
03/21 175.2 Crazy. We went out for my hubby's birthday dinner. I thought I over estimated the calories in my dinner. I might have and this is salt? 🤷‍♀️ And I guess we're going out again tonight because some friends are in town. It'll be nice to see them again! Nutrition information was not available at either place, the one we ate at last night and the place we're tonight. I'm trying to make healthy choices.

03/22 175 Posting late today! I'm so glad it's Friday! We ate dinner later than usual last night and I took a short walk before going out to dinner. We had a really nice visit and super yummy food! I'm ready for my normal routine today. Have a great day everyone!

03/14/19. 211.8#. Taking a one day break from working out today. Back at it tomorrow. Had a great day! Feeling good! Didn't stay under the recommended calories, but I stayed under 2,000. I'm pleased with that.
03/15 211.8#. I'm down 2.2# from last Friday. Workout-strength. It's Friday. Fasted most of the day.
03/16 210.2#. I'm 0.2# from my goal weight. This week I have been feeling so much better! I've had a cookie that wasn't home cooked, otherwise I'm at 13 days of not eating processed food. I worked out 5 days this week. Today will be #6.
03/17 210.6#. One thing I learned today: don't eat 2 servings of a new recipe and then figure out how many calories it is. Not good! If I figure in my exercise, I'm under 2,000 calories. Only 56 ounces of water today.
03/18 211#. Totally went nuts at supper. 3 servings of alfredo even after knowing the calories. No motivation for anything. Didn't workout today. Super lazy.
03/19 210.8#. 30 minutes exercise. 1,526 calories in. 66 oz water.
03/20 210#. GOAL REACHED. New goal 200#. Ate when hungry. Had a couple major cravings today, but I didn't give in. 1,517 calories in. 88 oz water.
03/21 209.8#. 97 oz water. 1,455 calories. Felt pretty good today. I've been tired all week, but I haven't gone to bed early either.
03/22H8 209.2#. Down 2.6#from last Friday. Fasted until supper. 1,724 calories in. Ate out today and had dessert. Very happy with my choices. 64 oz water, I have a little more time to drink. I'll be thirsty tomorrow since I ate out today.

03/14 234.8 Happy to have found this challenge. Finishing a vacation and feeling that I could have enjoyed it more and been more active if I were healthier and lighter. Was not able to be as physically active with my kids as I would've liked. It is no fun being the least fit person in a group.
03/15 234.6 Overnight drive last night. Energy level was really up and down today. Not caught up on sleep yet. Not well hydrated.
03/16 234.6 . Listened to a guided meditation for weight loss on Insight Timer before going to sleep last night.
03/17 240.1 Decided to start weighing and posting at night. Figured weights may fluctuate more, but it is more convenient for me. Depressed about vacation being over. Should be much easier for me to eat less this week though, due to return to normal life.
03/18 236.8. Back to work, boohoo. Very busy and stressful day. Didn't sleep well last night and had a terrible neck/headache all night and today. Finally took some Aleve and it helped tremendously.
Don't know why it takes me so long to think of taking a pain reliever.
Did a yoga DVD and the whole family participated (6 year old took a break to eat some Rice Krispies). Back felt a lot better after.
Still feeling dehydrated all day.
This was the most “normal” day since the start of the challenge.
03/19 235.2 . Did not have a big enough dinner last night. Got a headache again today. Definitely still overdoing it on sugar.
03/20 236.2 My aunt had a stroke 10 days ago. My mom put her on the phone tonight for a few seconds. It was wonderful! Family history of stroke and heart attack are something to start taking seriously. I want to live my best life possible.
03/21 236.8 . Today is my Friday. Hoping to get outside a lot this weekend.
03/22 238.2 Very busy today but could have used my bit of free time better. Not making the best choices. Way overdid it on the sodium today.

Tired, did the elliptical this morning for 45 minutes then my son wanted to strength training tonight. So I went with him. It is all good, I'm just tired.
