Day/Weight/Comment
03/14--212.9 I realized that I need to really work on my evening snacking. I don't know if it's boredom, tiredness or something else, but I want to be really conscious of why I snack so much in the evening even when I'm not hungry. What's weird is that I'm not even snacking on junk food or any specific type of food. It's going to be hard, but I think it should be interesting. Trainer tonight.
03/15--212.5 Ok, yesterday evening I tried something new to help curb my snacking. I had my dinner and then about 1/2 an hour later I realized that I was still hungry, but instead of reaching for a snack I decided to have another serving of my dinner. After the 2nd serving the hunger was gone and when about an hour later my husband asked if I wanted any of the popcorn he made I said no when I realized that I wasn't hungry. I didn't snack for the rest of the evening and in the end ate less calories than I've eaten over the prior couple of days when I was snacking. This has made me realize that I'm probably not eating enough for dinner and when I get hungry in the evening and start snacking it's hard for me to stop. So, I think from now on I'm going to eat more at dinner which will curb my hunger during the rest of the evening and hopefully I won't even start snacking. Run tonight.
03/16-212.5. Kept with the larger dinner last night and there was no snacking. Finished w7d2...8 more days to my 5k. Went to the gym this morning to do some weightlifting. Have to work on getting my water in today...it's so much harder for me on the weekend.
03/17--212.9 Well, plan to drink more water yesterday was a fail. I also realized that my plan to eat more at dinner to reduce snacking works much better on days that I work because I will snack all day if I'm at home. I think I may just accept the fact that I will probably be eating at maintenance on the weekends and just not worry about staying in deficit. Today I finished W7D3...it was an absolutely perfect run...one more week until my 5k. I bought a sofa today and did some errands. Drinking more water today than yesterday so that is a plus.
03/18--212.5 Up and down and up and down. No workout/run planned today, but the weather is supposed to be great today, high 60's and sunny, that I might need to take the dog out after work for a long walk.
03/19--212.0 Had a tough workout today, trainer switched up some exercises and I definitely felt it.
03/20--211.4 Large dinner yesterday worked again with curbing my evening snacking. I was feeling stressed out yesterday about 2 hours after my dinner, I was studying for a test, and I wanted to snack, but then I stopped myself when I realized I wasn't hungry. So instead of starting to snack I had 2 pieces of dark chocolate. I won't have time to run after work today so instead of missing my run I am planning to run at lunch today, something I haven't done in years.
03/21--212.0 Went out for a run during lunch yesterday and finished W8D1...3 more days until the 5k. The run was great. It was a lot warmer than I thought it would be during the lunchtime run, but I was still able to finish. I had homemade pizza for dinner and instead of adding another slice for a larger dinner I decided to have a salad. Only snack after dinner yesterday was 1 piece of dark chocolate. My sister-in-law and I are back in a walking challenge, she already has 8k more steps than I do, so after my trainer session today I am going to take the dog out for a long walk.
03/22--212.5 I am so sore after the PT session yesterday, but I still took the dog out for a long walk later in the evening. Did a little more snacking yesterday than I had done over the past couple of days even though I ate a larger dinner. Even though I snacked, I realized that I wanted a snack because I was still hungry and not because of some other emotion, so that was definitely a positive. When I look back to yesterday I think the weightlifting yesterday made me extra hungry. Since I was hungry I don't have an issue that I actually snacked yesterday after dinner, instead my issue was that my snack wasn't healthy and if it had been any earlier in the evening I probably would have continued snacking. So my plan is to now preplan my snacks ahead of time for the days that I weightlift.
03/23--212.7 Went to my nutritionist yesterday and now that I have my food sensitivity issues under control she wants to now work on increasing my protein and veggies in my diet. So, when she found out I'm on MFP she had me add her as a friend so that she can could view my diary.
I definitely feel more exposed. Went weightlifting this morning and then I am going to get a body fat scan later today, it will be interesting to get the results, and then I will be picking up my bib for my 5k tomorrow.

31th Round for me: Female 66, height 5’
Goal this round, starting March 14: Still want to get out of the 160’s but this time I should be able to do it. I was much better on logging and watching cals. last round and only slightly better on getting in movement on my non-gym days. So my goals for this round are to keep up with the logging and add more movement and get into an earlier bedtime/rise schedule. That will take a little work since we’ve just gone through time change but worth it as I get so much more done that way.Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, -.2Round 71 – SW 160.8

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 – 160.6
03/15 – 161.8 – Was only slightly over on calories yesterday, although not the best choices and a little salty. My nose has started running since I got up and feeling a bit draggy so may also be water weight. Debating on going to the gym … maybe will opt for making soup instead … keep the calories down and liquids up.
03/16 – 160.8 – Well, I didn’t go to the gym and I did make soup, drank lots of liquids AND ate lots of calories – although still only slightly over maintenance. Not feeling too bad, just very stuffed up in the sinuses and also ears a bit. Still glad that I don’t have to go anywhere.
03/17 – 161.8 – This is feeling like a yo-yo. Did eat an evening snack that I didn’t need so will have to watch it today to keep the 160’s going here. Still have the cold but not too bad.
03/18 – 161.2 – Wasn’t planning to spend this round dithering between 160’s and 161’s! Feeling better today and got some news yesterday to up my activity. I was planning to go on the trip about April 9 till mid-May. Now it will be shorter but much sooner – like leaving next week! All I could think was “panic monster” from the https://waitbutwhy.com/2013/10/why-procrastinators-procrastinate.html blog. I am such a terrible procrastinator, but now I have to rush around and get everything ready. No stress eating allowed though as I want to keep my progress.
03/19 – 161.2 – So first time on the scale it said 163.something then I realized the scale was over about ½ inch from my usual spot … moved it and here we are again. Only feeling more thankful. And careful.
03/20 – 161.2 – Finally off to the gym today, think I’m over the germs.
03/21 – 160.8 – So, almost back to where I started … not sure that that is progress. No gym yesterday as DH got the car in to get windshield replaced and new rear view mirror. The mirror fell off a couple of weeks ago and we have been waiting to get it fixed since. No way I want to do a long trip and city driving with no mirror. I did shovel some snow though. We have one spot on the yard that gets snow blown on it from the road so it’s full of salt and gravel. If you shovel it back on the road before it all melts it is way easier than trying to get the gravel later and of course the salt just goes in the ground. When we first moved here I thought that was so weird – people spend all winter shoveling snow in piles and all spring shoveling it onto the road to melt.
03/22 – 160
03/23 – 160.8 – Went to the city shopping yesterday and picking up a load of bulk food to take to daughters in AB. Crazy day so drank much less and ate random things at random times. Was a little afraid to step on the scale and happy to see this #. Even though it is pretty much where I started.

03/15 154.5 (so happy to see a 4! Have been at 155 for several days)
03/16 154.5
03/17 154.4 hoping I can stay around this number through Wednesday (TOM starts approximately) I didn’t drink enough water yesterday so will hydrate more today
03/18 154.4
03/19 154.5, the last three rounds have been a bit frustrating. I’m going to work on eating the right food, instead of whatever food fits in the calories the rest of the round and to try to eat earlier (because of work I had dinner at 9:30pm last night)
03/20 154.5
03/21 154.3, hoping to lose some of the water weight from period by Monday of next week. Yesterday was my 100 day of tracking with MFP, so still proud of that even if the last three rounds have had slow weight loss compared to the first two months.

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!
03/23 - 290.2 - I woke up this morning and was so tired I just went right back to bed. I went to the gym this morning, did 32 minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes on NuStep, and 30 minutes on the bike doing 4.5 miles, and then I lifted the hand weights (dumbbells). Nutrition is on point on right now. I have switched to egg whites instead of whole eggs after talking to my dietitian.

03/17 136.2 I wasn't on much for the last round but I am hoping to catch up on this round and restart being active. Life has been crazy and I forget to come on and read, then before I know it I am pages behind lol. Thankfully I have another sheet I record my daily weigh ins on or else I don't think I would have remembered what my final weight for the last round would have been lol To catch you all up briefly, i have realized I love the way I look at this weight, so I am not sure if I want to make 135 my goal weight. I am looking to continue toning and exercising and any weight loss from that is still welcome but otherwise I might start practicing maintenance. Although 135 is my new found goal, i think I still want to hit 133 at least for some "grace" weight...That way any gain from any family functions or nights out will just put me back up to my goal weight and far from the 140s lol
03/18 no scale. Was a pretty good day but then a friend brought over a bunch of cookies and I couldn't help myself. Oops

I’m in again! Hoping to go down a few pounds this round. I love this group!! Good luck everyone! 😀
Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 198.4 up 1.2 pounds from yesterday, ate more than I should have for dinner (darn delicious French fries!😩) did make it on the treadmill, felt heavy and tired, but got the full 31 minutes in. Hoping to be down to 195 for this round.
03/15 199.2 up a little bit, but I’m ok with that because I felt stronger on the treadmill and was around goal for calories. Today will be a different story, having dinner out and it’s the weekend! 🤷♀️
03/16 200.2. Just like I figured, went overboard on eating. The husband is working this weekend so I can focus on my eating (or not eating) and getting my workouts in. I just need to make it through the weekend and no excuses!
03/17 199.6. Feeling good about the little loss. Kept calories down. Had a huge sugar craving at night but fought it and did a juice instead. Then made crackers out of the leftover pulp! My first attempt, need some work but pretty impressed. Today’s agenda includes house cleaning, groceries and meal planning (for a successful week) bring it in strong for the week everyone! ✋🏻👊🏻
03/18 198.4. Yea!! Made it through the weekend. ☺️
03/19 198.4. Holding steady. The husband is working the next three nights, I will be using the treadmill.
03/20 197.6 four more days, I can do this! I did w2d1 on the treadmill last night. (Couch 2 5k) I’ve started that program over so many times and have never finished it! 😂 but I love the app. Will be using it again tonight, I don’t know why I can’t remember that it’s kinda relaxing and that I should keep using it, be more consistent.
03/21 197.4. Stayed under calories, didn’t feel like doing anything after work and went to bed somewhat early. My real goal for this round is to get under 197, it’s been elusive for a long time. Two more days!!
03/22 196.6 I did it!! It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten below 197, I feel like I broke the barrier. I’m really excited!! Now to make it through the weekend....
03/23 195.8 !! Well that’s a good end for this round! I feel like I can keep the momentum going, I’ve got a good handle on my food, it’s just making it to the treadmill. Good luck next round everyone!!!11 -
Feeling a bit under the weather today. So not much exercise is going to happen. Did walk my 🐕 this morning, but I think that will be it for the day.

** ROUND 71 **
# 7 for me
GW end of round – 372 - Surpassed goal @ 368!
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)
Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 378.4 (-0.4) – My goal this round is to focus, focus, focus! No more red rounds! My goal is to lose 4 to 6 pounds per round. If I don't lose that much no worries – I am not beating myself up. But I am determined not to have any more red rounds! I can do that at least! So to help me do that, I reset my ticker yesterday to my 2019 start weight, which I am over by 5.4 pounds. I have really been struggling but I am going to try to come out of this slump because life is just not getting any easier as we struggle in these trying times. My goal this year is lose 50 to 75 pounds and to do that I am really going to have to buckle down. My ticker is set for 75 but I will gladly take 50 plus in a heartbeat and nothing less than that for sure. I think having something already on the ticker is not helping me so I am trying something new. I have to keep trying and trying until I get it right!
My Dad is doing pretty good considering he is in hospice in a nursing home. In February it has been over year. Life goes on, so I have to find a way to make me a priority also. Baby steps
I am also working on increasing my sleeping hrs per night. I am happy to say this week I have slept 3 days since Monday over 7 hrs! I have not slept 7 hrs 3 nights in a week in a loooong time, so I am proud of that and I am going to try to keep it going because this helps me for sure.
I am really going to try to check in here more often too. That too will help me because I will be more mindful. I will read something to inspire, etc. The rounds I lost -- I checked in more also. Even if I don't have time to comment every day, I want to log my weight at least.
03/15 378.4 (-0.0) – Went over my points but did my exercise and got my 7000 steps. Short on sleep but feeling great and back on it today. Pre-planning for weekend so I can maintain or even lose a pound or more. We will see. I usually make my goal for weekend to maintain or not to gain. If I do that I am doing good. Past weekends I have blown my whole week on the weekend. Now I can maintain and even lose. I may go up one day and come right back down the next because I try not to have 2 or 3 bad days if you include Friday.
03/16 374.8 (-3.6)
- yesterday I resisted fast food after visiting my Dad in nursing home. Came home, had some eggs and grits. I also decided this morning to switch WW plans. I going to online only which will save me $25 a month since I am not going to meetings anyway but I love their points program. Right now the meetings are not in the plan for me and I rather use God, family, MFP and my therapist who I see Tuesday for my support system for now. That is my new plan for now. Giving up is not an option for me!
03/17 373.6 (-1.2) - I got in my 7000 steps yesterday. Since I was over my WW points yesterday, I was surprised I was down today. I think I may be up tomorrow. Not sure since I did eat a lot of protein and hardly any carbs. Back on track a little bit today. But I know I will be down overall this weekend for sure -- so a win win.
03/18 372.6 (-1.0) - This week has been awesome. Since last Monday I have lost over 8 pounds! Finally consistently going down. I have revamped my game plan going forward and feeling good. Now to just keep the consistency going is the real challenge. But I am going to do it! Glad to finally wipe out the gain for this year and see the 1 pound on my ticker. 
I got in another 7 hours of sleep last night too. Sleep is a key factor for me. It helps me stay focused. I can definitely tell the difference when I get in those zzz’s!
03/19 369.6 (-3.0)- Now to stick the new decade! Yay! I know this is going to slow down but I am going to enjoy every minute of it for now and try to keep it going as long as I can. lol
03/20 376.2 (+6.6) - I had 2 items yesterday with a lot of salt and I did overeat but not to the tune of 7 pounds. So we will see tomorrow. I sorta got back on track today. Had a salad for dinner tonight and resisted fast foods but had sweets at work. So I will see what my buddy says in the morning. Nite nite.
03/21 372.4 (- 3.8)Yeah!! Got my 7000 steps and 6 hrs of sleep. Over my points but no fast foods. Had a salad for dinner and drunk plenty of water to get rid of that salt. I saw 360’s this morning. I am really shooting for 369 by Saturday. If not I will still be at my goal for the end of this challenge. I had an awesome session with my therapist Tuesday too. She is very good.
03/22 375 (+ 3.2) – crazy and no explanation for it. My scale is crazy. I sent the new scale back. I will try one more time. Right now too busy so I will just keep using the old one.
03/23 368 (- 7.6) YEAH!! 10.4 pounds down!! That is crazy, but I love it!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/14 - 171.2 - 20g carbs, 15g net carbs. Carbs were: steamables golden potatoes (6.5gcarb), salad, deli smoked turkey, manzanilla olives, cucumber ranch dressing, au jus sauce. Okay, my weight has settled here for today. Probably that tiny potato 😂 Dinner was 2 hours later than I planned, due to this HUGE chuck roast I was cooking. It took 2+ hrs in the pressure cooker! with a couple of stops and starts to check it during the process. Should have put the 2nd weight on the pot.
3/15 - 172.2 - 32g carbs, 26g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, olives, dill pickle, grape tomatoes, jalapenos, peanut butter, almonds, walnuts, deli smoked turkey. A little fluid retention..... from exercise, not carbs! Knee is behaving, so back to strengthing quads and hams. Taking it low and slow, but consistently. I'm dealing with old shoulder injuries too, so must not be impatient with myself trying to do sets, reps and long workouts like I used to do.
3/16 - 173 - Normal fluctuation. 35g carbs, 27g net carbs. Carbs were: Strawberries, salad, peanut butter, celery, carrot, apple in chicken salad, cranberry cheddar, spaghetti squash, au jus sauce. Did not take vitamins 2 days, Th, F.
3/17 - 171.2 - 38g carbs, 28g net carbs. Too much peanut butter! Need B's. I did take my vitamins. Carbs were: green beans, au jus sauce, olives, deli smoked turkey, peanut butter.
Carb count increased from peanut butter.
3/18 - 171 - 26g carbs, 19g net carbs. Carbs were: eggs, spinach, salad, strawberries, peanut butter, sundried tomato dressing. It's going to be a slow roll with some backtracking out of the 170's. That was my normal pattern of weightloss before October 2018. Now I've buckled down and become conscious of the issues holding me in this decade for so long. With humbleness, prayer, guidance and thankfulness, I'm certain that I will exit this learning phase successfully. ☺
3/19 - 171.2 - 21g carbs, 16g net carbs. Carbs were: peanut butter, spinach and peppers as toppings on chicken crust pizza. Not very hungry yesterday, only ate 2/3 of allotted calories. If it wasn't for the peanut butter it would have been closer to 1/3!
3/20 - 172.2 - Back here again, but it's not 177 thank goodness! 32g carbs, 25g carbs. Carbs were: guacamole, peanut butter, uncured turkey hotdogs, salad, cauliflower, low carb bbq sauce.
3/21 - 170.6 - She's (my body) trying to come to terms with what I'm doing. I guess.😁 35g carbs, 30g net carbs. Carbs were: uncured turkey hotdogs, spaghetti squash, salad, guacamole, cream cheese.
3/22 - 172.8 - Mmmm, giving me push back today.😑 Did not take vitamins yesterday. 26g carbs, 20g net carbs. Carbs were: arugula/spinach, salad, peanut butter, lemon juice & zest, roasted red pepper dressing, multigrain tortilla chips (1/2 oz)
3/23 - 172.2 - Worked weak glutes, hams and quads pretty good yesterday. Felt it last night, couldn't wait to go to bed! Slept okay, but woke up tired. 32g carbs, 23g net carbs. Carbs were: cabbage, salad, salad dressing, peanut butter, salsa in turkey taco. 10 day average is improving!

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. 75 oz water.
03/23 209#. Water park today. My water intake might suffer a bit. I'm going to try to bring a water bottle. Eating out again.7 -
Round #5 for me.
Followed a 1000 calorie diet for the last 5 weeks! Lost some weight during the first 3 rounds but not as much as I expected and the last round was Disappointing for me. I gained .6 lbs
.. Still hanging in there. Got some great advice from other members here and will make some changes this round.. I'm trying now the 5:2 diet, where I'm eating free for five days of the week (up to 1700 calories) and the other two days restrict calories to 500–600 per day. Hope I'll see good results this round.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 - 222.2 - Yesterday my stats were 14,600steps, 3200cals out, 600cals in. I only need about 7000-8000steps today to meet my weekly target of 70,000 so that's what I will be aiming for. My goal calorie wise is to stay under 1700cals today. Have a great day all X
03/15 - 223.6 - Yesterday stats were 7200steps, 2700cals out, 1650cals in. I feel very in control at the moment, today is a fast day and I am aiming for 10,000 steps or more. I want to stay more committed to my eating goals over the weekend, I am not going to fuss about steps but calories need to be 2000 or lower on both days X
03/16 - 222.0 - 18,500 steps, 3600cals out, 880cals in. I was hoping to atleast be in the 221.xx range today, Owel even more incentive to eat well today so I'm not then struggling with excess water. Today's goals are just to stay under 2000cals, I only need another 3500steps today so I can complete my week on 80,000steps but I will easily achieve that so not much point setting it as a goal. Enjoy your weekends all X
03/17 - 223.2 - 4500 steps, 2500cals out, 2300cals in. Not a good day yesterday, not only was I very lazy but I didn't even stick to my calorie goals. Today is the first day of a new week on my apps, last week I finished on 80,900steps, 1480cals on average in a day, 3020cals on average out a day. I'm very happy with that, hopefully I will see a drop on the scales some time before the end of this challenge X
03/18 - 221.4 - 10,777 steps, 2950 cals out, 2500cals in. Still way over on calories. Today is a fast day, aiming to do atleast 10,000 steps. Chicken chow mien for dinner tonight X
03/19 - 221.0 - 15,580 steps, 3400cals out, 1250cals in, not the fast day I had planned, my ex was putting me through a lot of stress (I mean when isn't he lately? But this was even worse than usual) and I just gave into my emotions, had a little meltdown, ate some chocolate and cheese and then went and laid in bed unable to get to sleep for hours and then even when I did sleep it was very light and broken. Not feeling great today, I have given into his harassment and bullying again just to get him to leave me alone but feeling very tired and emotionally drained today, I need to try to not let that affect my eating though. Enjoy your day all X
03/20 - 222.6 - 7750 steps, 2700cals out, 2150cals in. Not ideal food, I just felt so tired. Still didn't get a good nights sleep last night and because I didn't do a lot of anything yesterday I have a fair amount to do round the house. Today is a fast day, I am going to stick to it strictly.

03/22 - 222.0 - came on period
03/23 - dnw. My steps for last week have been 78,000 so I have met one of my goals this challenge of averaging over 10,000 steps a day but my diet has not been good the last few day, stress, an infection in my gum and being around that time of the month has just completely derailed me. Tomorrow I get serious again.6 -

Reasonably good end to the round, happy with that, especially with shark week turning up a couple of days early this month, so cravings kicked in over the weekend. Onwards and downwards!
14/03
Had a maintenance day yesterday on account of shark week, managed to squash in a pizza and a muffin. Much lighter day today will be grabbing a chicken salad sandwich from deli for lunch and having veggie curry this evening. Off to Denmark in the morning, taking advantage of the long weekend (St Patricks Day bank holiday)so won't be back here til Tuesday. I'll weigh in, in the morning as normal but won't be around to update it as I use my work computer for this challenge. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Had a lovely time in Denmark, lots of walking, exploring museums and the local area in Aarhus. Back to work today, so plenty more walking and plan to do some strength training this evening.

Happy Friday Eve! It's only 08:50 and I've already had a fairly active morning - Cycled 3km into work, walked to/from rowing training (around 2km) and rowed on the river for 1 hour including lifting the boats in and out. Planning to go for a walk at lunch time, leaving the bike at work so I can walk home this evening to get my steps up (Have signed up for another stepbet so need to be hitting around 12500 per day) and then another walk to get some groceries. I have a lovely salad for lunch (not a rabbit food type salad, it's about 850 calories)and then I have some pre-prepped Thai Spiced Peanut Butter Chicken for dinner with some stirfry veg and broccoli.

Just a quick update today as busy with some online shopping (payday and Friday all at once yay!)
23/03
Not a bad round, I have had shark week and a holiday during this round so small gain was fine with me.
