    Over the weekend I did my 1st 10K run at the Cleveland Marathon! I did it!!!
    And the Keto diet helped. I didn't get too tired (no carb loading for me! :p ) and the recovery was fast! I only felt muscle ache the next day and I am all better today. I can even go run today! It's amazing. So with that said, I am sticking to the Keto and gonna try harder to get the macros under control.
    Anyone interested or already a Keto pro friend me! :)

    BRAVO! Congratulations on completing your first 10 K!

    Feeling super bloated and not motivated at all. I keep trying to tell myself that I'm still three pounds down from where I was at this time last month. Memorial Day weekend is coming up and I do plan on indulging. I'm hoping I get a successful long run in on Sunday.

    3/26 - 148.8
    4/1 - 145.9
    4/8 - 144.0 Shocked at this drop. Fully expecting a slow down this week.
    4/15 - 145.1. UGH. Wrong direction. I was down to 143.7 earlier in the week, but the weekend did me in. Went to a party with great food and open bar Saturday night, yesterday out for brunch and my daughter baked a cake. I was hoping not to go overboard since Easter is this weekend and I know there will be so much food at my in-laws. Will do my best to stay on track this week and watch portions at Easter.
    4/22 - 145.7. Not happy! Was sick last week so less movement and ate way too much. Let's hope that next week I have a better update.
    4/29 - 144.8
    5/6 - 143.7
    5/13 - 143.5. Got down to 142.9 during the week but the weekend blew that. At least it’s down!
    5/20 - 142.9
    5/27 - 142.9. Disappointing because I was down to 141.8 two days ago! Hoping a lot of this is bloat due to TOM coming.

    Well, it is Memorial Day! I did not manage to lose 10 pounds during this challenge, but I DID make significant changes. I have gotten back into doing workouts in my garage, and I have been eating keto compliant with only a few exceptions. I am only down 6 lbs, which is not "stellar," but I am now able to comfortably wear several pairs of shorts that I could not button up 2 months ago when we started the challenge, so I am declaring this a "WIN" for me!

    Highest weight -153 lbs
    Height - 5'5"

    3/25 - 138 lbs
    4/1 - 136 lbs
    4/8 - 134 lbs
    4/15 - 134 lbs
    4/22 - 135 lbs (curse you, Easter Bunny!)
    4/29 - 135 (((sigh)))
    5/6 - 134.4 lbs
    5/13 - 134 lbs
    5/20 - 133 lbs
    5/27 - 132

    I know what you mean! It is such mental victory to drop down into another decade on the scale! You will get there!

    Man, the last couple weeks have felt so hard. I have seen 142 on the scale, which was my goal to reach for June 2nd, but only a couple times and have mostly hovered around 143. Mostly it’s just mentally exhausting trying to keep on track. That and my training schedule has become more time consuming and exhausting. I might take a diet break for a couple weeks at the end of next month and the beginning of July; I could use the energy for my half. I really want to be in the 130s by then. I’ll feel a lot better about shifting to maintenance for a bit if I can get out of the 140s. Hope everyone is managing well. 👍🏻

    @MicheleStitches Being able to wear those shorts is awesome, definitely a good sign that fat is coming off the right places! 👍🏻

    @MeadowRae It’s so frustrating watching the scale go up and down! Sometime though, your weekly high will be out of the 150s. Gotta love when that happens!

    I really need to start tracking better. Some of this is bloating, but I honestly haven't been tracking like I should and I've overindulged on wine. I went to the doc today and she reminded me I'm up ten pounds since last year. I know that some of it is muscle because I was pretty dedicated to weight lifting over the winter, but it's still discouraging to hear.

    4/06 - like 142. Got on the scale, almost cried. Super depressing and felt gross. I signed up for MFP and started CI/CO the very next morning.
    4/13 - 137.4
    4/20 - 135.4
    4/27 - 133.6
    5/05 - 132.8
    5/12 - 131.6
    5/19 - 131.6 (stalled out here for a while)
    5/26 (MEMORIAL DAY EVE) - 130.2 - Success! Dropped slightly over 10 lbs juust before Memorial Day. I basically slept all weekend because I was ill, but the extra sleep honestly probably helped my body stay on target rather than lose ground. As of today, 5/30, I squeaked into the 120s at 129.4.

    I don't know how my weight is staying up. I'm hoping some of it is water weight and it will go down with time. I've been doing a lot better so I know I just need to keep it up.
