Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 - 238,5
up almost half a pound. I stayed within my goals this weekend , but I did get a visit from TOM today, so I hope this is the reason.
04/24 - 238,5 Same as yesterday, so no loss but no gain either. I had a good day yesterday , within goals and exercised 50 min.
04/25 - 237.9 Yaaaay 😃
04/26 - 237,2 finally after more than a week of no loss I start seeing results for my efforts again 😊💪, still on track for kcals and exercise
04/27 - 237,2 easter diner at mother in law today, hope I Will not be up tomorrow
04/28 - 237,0 slow and steady
04/29 - 239,0 🤨 wrong way!!! Kept it within goals so must be water, hope it will be lower tomorrow
04/30 - 237,4 bye bye water weight, don't want to see you again!!
05/01 - 236,3 sticking to the plan is paying of
05/02
End Results for the round:
Good luck to all!13 -
04/23 13,11 Reasonable day, good for exercise
04/24 13,12 Lazy day, not great on the food front, too much snacking (my usual downfall)
04/25 13,11 Hard workout at dojo, busy day so food kept under control
04/26 13,10 Nice to see the scales move. Rest day today so need to keep food under control
04/27 13,10 Half way through - even 10 days seems a challenge to me. Busy day with lots of exercise planned - but heading out to see Endgame with family so need to resist snacking at/after cinema
04/28 13,10 Quiet day today, resting after yesterday's mammoth workout. Unfortunately I always seem to be much hungrier the day after rather than on the day. Pondering using some of yesterday's 'spare' calories today
04/29 13,12 Grrr. I didn't kick the scales - I wanted to though. Yes, I know it's just fluctuation, but really??? I really need to make sure this doesn't distract me today. Whistles 'just keep moving forward'
04/30 13,10 Managed not to freak out totally yesterday. Reasonable workout today - have a shoulder strain from Saturday so slightly less energy than usual but better than not going.
05/01 13,9 Tired this morning so need to try and keep motivation up

Previous Daily Summaries22/0401/05
Extremely busy weekend, rowing every day Thurs - Sat, including my first sea row out to one of the islands.
23/04
Back to work after a long weekend, starting my logging again today after a little 3 week hiatus, down just over a pound during that period so I am quite pleased with that.
24/04
I am into the last week of my StepBet Challenge - woohoo. My food logging was pretty accurate yesterday probably hit around maintenance and was a little low on protein, haven't had a chance to do any meal prep this week yet as have things on after work every night. So just doing what I can to stay at a small deficit over the week.
25/04
Feeling a bit exhausted this week, I don't normally socialise too much during the week, I prefer to get my exercise and food prep done on these evenings, however, I've had stuff on every night this week, which is quite unusual and it's definitely taking it's toll on me with both food choices and exercise. Looking forward to a much quieter week next week.
26/04
Thank kitten it's Friday, even though it was a 4 day work week, it feels like it's been the longest week ever. I have a rowing race over the weekend which has been postponed from Sat to Sun thanks to Storm Hannah which is a bit of a blessing as it means I can have a quiet night tonight and a bit of a lie in, get caught up on some housework and do some food prep.
29/04
Weight is up quite substantially after the weekend however, I have started strength training again (feeling DOMs) and did a 10km rowing race over the weekend, my first time in Stroke (Setting pace/steering the boat) which is arguably the toughest position in the kind of boat we row, got sunburn too despite wearing factor 50 - stupid reflective water! Ate a few more carbs too. ALSO....Won my step bet - profit is around $8 plus my original $40 back woohoo.
30/04
Going to set some non-scale goals for May (starting next week as away in London for the weekend).- Strength Training at least 3 times per week
- 2 Litres of fluids per day
- 1 jog or hike per week
Made a good start on getting back into the swing of my Strength Training, did a workout on Saturday and another one last night after work.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 – 142.5 – Heading back down after the holiday weekend.
04/24 – 142.5 – I did not sleep well at all last night. I was up 4 times going to the bathroom, so I actually expected to be lower this morning. I’ll be drinking a lot of water today, but will probably limit the amount I drink this evening.
04/25 – 142 – I slept great last night and kept my food on point.
04/26 – 141 – Just in time for the weekend!
04/27 – 143
04/28 – 143.5
04/29 – 144.5 – Very high sodium weekend including 2 days of sauerkraut. It’s been a couple months since my weight has trended this high. I’ll eat at weight loss calories this week and drink plenty of water to reverse this trend before it gets out of hand. Staying accountable by posting here is what is going to make the difference in keeping off the weight I lost last year.
04/30 – 143 – I stuck to 1200 calories yesterday and drank my water.
05/01 – 143 – I’m glad I didn’t bounce up a little. Sticking with the plan today. Happy May!!!

Limit drinking to 2-3 days this week (have two Large cocktail parties this week that I have to navigate through. )
Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 151.3, exercised and ate well yesterday. Going to a baseball game tonight and will limit myself to one beer.
04/24 150.8, surprised on weight loss because I had two beers and a polish sausage. I wasn’t over terribly on calories but expect an uptick over the next few days. Worth it though!
04/25 150.7, first of two cocktail parties is tonight. Did a double yesterday to help with calorie intake. I did wake up thirsty so 64 oz of water wasn’t enough to combat the salt the previous day. Will make sure I’m hydrated going into tomorrow and the week end.
04/26 150.4, danced a lot last night, but did have more drinks and saltier food than I usually have. Back to the diet today.
04/27 150.4, second cocktail party tonight so hoping to stay under 151 through Monday, but early next week I should be good with no temptations
04/28 150.2, always lose a bit after drinking and then it comes up a couple days after. I plan on being really good the rest of the round to level that out.
04/29 150.2, going to the gym for an hour today and meals are all prepped
04/30 150.2, finishing up packing before I leave tomorrow for my 10 day vacation to Italy.
05/01 149.8, new low in over 5 years!!
05/02 On vacation, will try to weigh in since planning to bring a scale12 -

05/01 - DNW - Another night away from home. Had a huge lunch yesterday with Fire Brigade at work (didn't know that was going on) and then met the man and the kids for dinner which I didn't eat much at all because I was still full from lunch. Have to go home tonight unless something crazy happens just because I need clothes for work, I only packed 2 days worth of stuff to take over there. Plus, sleeping in that extra 45 minutes at my house sounds fantastic. Its an hour and 15 from his house to work but only 25 minutes from mine. Guess tomorrow will tell how bad these last few days of not weighing have done me in. Doesn't help that I'm bloated to all get out and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what's causing it. Hopefully that doesn't impact my weigh-in. Got a good lunch today (as long as I can avoid the food truck at work) and I've got a few light, healthy things at home for tonight. Plus, water water water. I'm hit and miss this week with it.
05/02
Previous day's comments for R7504/23- Starting off on a drop which makes me nervous because that means I have to really work to stay on track to end at or below this weight (hit this weight 3 times now, always end up higher. Think its usually a fluke). TOM is coming this week, though, so hopefully it'll show itself and disappear quickly so I can see actual weight and what's going on (: AND AND AND I'm only 0.6 lbs away from my 10lb loss which means my tattoo may have been a bit early, but wanting to show it off has been great motivation for me to keep going. Gotta get that confidence! Only 2.5lbs away from my post-surgery army weight. 10 more pounds and I'm at the top of the range for my pre-surgery army weight and high end of goal. So much happening!
04/24 - what is this?! I double checked. Especially weird given TOM will be here any day and I usually gain during that time. I won't complain but I'm not holding a lot of hope (but still a little bit I'll hold on to) it'll stick. Maybe this is the whoosh from last round finally hitting
04/25 - No Scale, No Posting
04/26- There it is. TOM hasn't arrived yet (slightly odd but it does like to be late sometimes) so I'm assuming this is a combination of TOM and not enough water yesterday. I don't feel super bloated and my stomach seems flatter (though nowhere near what it was on Monday but better than my "normal") so I'll take that as a good sign this is temporary. I have my first baseball game tonight and a murder mystery dinner tomorrow night. Let's see how I do
04/27 - No Scale, No Posting
04/28 - No Scale, No Posting
04/29 - No Scale - Had a crazy weekend and I'm sure I gained something but curious as to whether I lost the TOM weight. Stayed at my boyfriend's last night so no scale for me this morning. Big storm came through and his PTSD kicks in so he asked me to stay at his so he can stay grounded in reality. Ended up working out because I had some really bad nightmares myself so having him close by to remind me I'm safe helped a lot. Nervous for weigh in tomorrow but ready today with salad and some grilled trout he made us last night. Hopefully I can get my water intake up because it was HORRIBLE this weekend and always takes a couple days to get back up.
04/30 - No Scale Once again, no scale. Stayed at boyfriend's due to another storm rolling through and boy am I thankful he knows how to calm me down. Woke up to the house shaking from thunder (I was dead to the world. So sleepy all day) and it scared the life outta me. I love storms, but I was in too deep a sleep not to be startled. I'm not sure what's happening tonight since I'm going to meet him and the kids for dinner in town. Guess we shall see. Also supposed to storm all day.
I'm a little bloated today but I had rice with dinner and I'm sure that's gotta be it. He grilled chicken with bell peppers last night. (Just another reason to go to his -- he's got a grill and has to cook for kids anyway. I get too lazy to cook and have yet to go grocery shopping). Hoping this is just a blip. Plus, spent about 3 hours outside with his kids and the neighbor's kids playing catch and tag and other fun games. Definitely got activity in.

Round four, back for more! I have another challenging round ahead of me. I'll be taking my high school students on their first multi-day trip right in the middle of this round and I'm also expecting my TOM at the same time. That means water retention and high sodium food choices for several days. I plan on being more diligent tracking my water, getting at least 10,000 steps everyday, and I'm aiming for a 1 lb weight loss to get myself back to where I was at the end of Round 73.

GW: 160 lb (I'll probably re-evaluate when I get there, but I remember being pretty comfortable at that weight)
Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 184.6 lb Yesterday was a great start to this round! I drank 45oz of water and 22oz of non-calorie drinks, walked 13,645 steps, and kept within my calorie goals. We even went to Red Robin for dinner and I got salmon instead of the usual burger and fries. It was tasty, if not a little too salty. More water planned for today as it's the boyfriend's night to provide dinner and it usually is not particularly healthy.
04/24 184.6 lb I walked 13,218 steps, drank 30oz of water and 34oz of non-calorie drinks and kept within my calorie goals again. I'm getting anxious about the high school trip. I expect it to go well; I've taught most of these students for the last five years and know them very well, but I keep thinking of the phrase, "One kid, one brain. Two kids, no brains." We have 23 kids going on this trip.
04/25 183.6 lb Yesterday I had 14,529 steps tracked, 30oz of water and came in under calorie goals in preparation for our band trip. We boarded the bus at 6:30 with no issues and are on our way to Philadelphia!
04/26 Travelling, no scale. I tracked 13,415 steps, drank about 30oz of water, and went about 700 calories over, which isn't too bad for restaurant food all day. The students are behaving well and our day is packed with museum visits and musical experiences. They better sleep well tonight to be ready for our competition tomorrow.
04/27 Travelling, no scale. I hate the "Done" button in the app. I always hit it first instead of "Post Reply" and wipe out my response. I tracked 10,115 steps, drank 65oz of water, and made sure my food choices weren't all garbage. They weren't great, but it could have been worse. We're competing this morning and then spending the rest of the day in the theme park! I love roller coasters! 🎢
04/28 Travelling, no scale. The band received an "excellent" rating at competition yesterday! I tracked 22,133 steps, drank 50 oz water, and rode four roller coasters.
04/29 183.6 lb Super pleased with today's check-in. I walked 20,196 steps yesterday wandering around NYC with the students. Water was okay with about 40oz, but I'm feeling pretty thirsty today so I don't think it was enough. I have no idea about calories; breakfast was hotel food, lunch was a burger and fries, and dinner was a stromboli from a highway rest stop. I'll be very curious to see where the scale goes in the next few days as I get back into my routine.
04/30 182.6 lb Calories were low yesterday to help offset the last few days of overeating. I drank 30oz of water and 32oz of non-calorie drinks. 12,042 steps were tracked and I was able to watch the latest GOT episode and watch Avengers Endgame so my students don't accidentally share any spoilers with me. They were very good yesterday, but I can't expect them to not talk about it all week.
05/01 181.0 lb I tracked 12,384 steps, drank 30oz of water and 24oz of non-calorie drinks, and just barely went over my calorie goals. I was able to take the dog for a long walk before tidying the house for a scholarship meeting and after a late dinner fell asleep on the couch at 10PM. I'd like to maintain this new low, so I'll be careful with my dinner/beverage choices tonight at trivia.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23- 327.8- I have MCAS and woke up in a flair this morning, swollen and rashy, so I’m surprised the scale went down at all, but I’m glad it did.
04/24- 327.8- this is a frustrating moment. I was soooooo good about foods, sodium, getting my water and even walking. I know that it’s fine that the scale doesn’t move but it just feels bad.
04/25- 328.8- if this is some cosmic test, I’m not feeling it. I stayed in my calories, I got my water in. I’m so frustrated and I don’t understand why I’m stuck in this limbo.
04/26- 325.2- yesterday was a bad day, and I went over my calories and had pie so I was sure that today would be an up day on the scale, but no! I am really glad to see the number move back to doing better today!
04/27- 328.2- this is so frustrating. I was so good about my calories and sodium and water, so this is a real downer.
04/28- 329.4- doing what I’m supposed to and still having to watch all my progress disappear is making me wonder if it’s worth it.
04/29- 328.4- I didn’t meet my water goal for yesterday, I snacked after 8 pm, and I didn’t measure my dinner. And here I am, finally a tick downward. Let’s see if this trend can continue *fingers crossed*
04/30- 328.4- busy day, woke up late

04/24 195.2 Had way too much fun on vaycay. Hope some of this is water weight and I can drop it quickly.
04/25 192.6 Yay! Hope to keep this downward trend going. It'a rainy today so I plan on walking the stairs today at work and drinking lots of water.
04/26 191.4 Alright! Apparently I was holding a lot of water weight from my Easter weekend indulgences. Hoping to get in the 180's by the end of this round.

04/29: 170 Day 1. I've done this group before with success. I've fallen off the exercise/eating healthy train hard. Gained back what I have lost numerous times. Starting again today. Looking forward to seeing whose in this group and reading daily posts for motivation!
04/30: 170.6 Ate late at a pizza party scout event. Not great options. Ate as sensible as I could. Woke up bloated. Planning out meals for the rest of the week. My husband is gone for the next 10 days for work so I always find it super easy to eat very healthy meals that he may not like as much!
05/01: 168.2 Happy to see this. It was another late dinner and busy day yesterday. I've been balancing work, PTO, kids after school activities and other obligations this week and next. It "should" ease up after next week. Trying to stay on track and find time to exercise will be a challenge but I'm committed!

Day/Weight/ Difference/ Steps (previous day)/ Comment
04/23: 136.8 / 14,448 / Not as bad as I thought it would be. It’s actually exactly what it was 3/28, the last time I weighed. Oh, and I had spaghetti last night, so this might be a little higher than true weight.
04/24: 134.6 / -2.2 / 15,277 / I’m guessing yesterday was artificially high, because I’m fairly certain I didn’t lose 2.2 pounds over night. I did good yesterday, but not that good.
04/25: 134.6 / 0.0 / 15,545 / I even had pizza for dinner. Yum!
04/26: 135.6 / +1.0 / 12.277 / TOM being a girl sucks
04/27: Out of town, no scale / 8,581 steps not bad for spending 7 hours driving.
04/28: Out of town, no scale / 30,156 steps / Pleased with activity, 13.1 miles yesterday, but my eating was awful.
04/29: 139.4 /+3.8 / 30,661 / Yup my weight reflects my weekend, but it should settle lower as I get the sodium, excess & TOM out of my system. Either way back to back 13.1 mile days is pretty great.
04/30: 136.4 / -3.0 / didn’t wear tracker / looks like my excess weight from poor eating has dropped. Hopefully it drops a tad more and brings me back to even.
05/01: 133.8 / -2.6 / 12,687 / Artificial low as I wasn’t feeling well last night. Loss is probably dehydration. Either way I’ll take it and see what tomorrow holds.

I misspoke when I said the daily weigh ins hold me accountable...the daily weigh ins help me understand my personal fluctuations. My weight fluctuates...I can gain or lose a couple pounds day to day…without a direct correlation to what I did the day before. Understanding this has been HUGE…I have gotten so discouraged in the past when I saw higher numbers and have thrown in the towel believing it wasn’t working. So thankful for these challenges and the learning from participating!
You may not see results as soon as you’d like but every smart choice is affecting you!

Ending weight round 72 - 145.3
Ending weight round 73 - 143.7
Ending weight round 74 - 145.7
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for round 75 - regroup! Had a high gain at the end of round 74, no set goal just trying to reset after travel and illness and way too much stress eating.
4/23 145.3. Still have a nasty cough so not able to exercise yesterday. Did better with my food choices, although I did dip in to my daughter’s Easter basket. Happy to see a drop and hope it continues. Can’t wait until I can get moving again.
4/24 - 144.6. Still sick, went to doctor yesterday and got some meds to help with the cough. Hoping that helps, not resting is really hard! Wins yesterday: seeing the doctor, tracked food and stayed within calorie goal, hydrated well, took an easy walk with the dog. Hoping to be more active today, starting to go a little stir crazy from the lack of movement.
4/25 - 145.1. Slowly feeling human again. Not happy about the gain but my body is all out of whack due to illness so I didn’t know what to expect. Wins yesterday: slow run/walk, hydrated well, meds helping me feel better. I was bummed about this number going up until I noticed that today is one month since I started tracking and I’ve lost 5 lbs. That is a healthy, sustainable loss and if I could lose 5 lbs a month I’ll be at goal 2 months from now. Feeling more positive after that.
4/26 - 145.1. My body and my mind are stuck! Wins yesterday: long walk with dog. That's about it. Still not sleeping thanks to this cough that likes to pop up at night. Can't lay flat (I do have a prescription cough med that I got but it's not helping the nighttime/laying flat issue). Being tired typically leads to bad decisions. TOM coming in a few days so I'm super hungry. Goal for today is to regroup and plan for the weekend. My daughter has a 2-day softball tournament so we won't be home at all Sat/Sun. Need to pack my snacks and bring plenty of water, and be very mindful when we eat out. I don't know that I'll be able to fit in a workout Saturday, Sunday is a possibility. I don't want these to turn in to excuses but rather just things that are part of my day that I will work around. Happy Friday to all!
4/27- had to get up really early today and completely spaced on weighing. Oops! Will check in tomorrow.
4/28 -145.5. Got mad at myself for a minute today. Then I actually thought about what is going on. I’ve been sick so way less movement this week (today is the first day I feel completely back to normal, yay!). The meds I’m on have backed me up (TMI I know, but it’s a thing going on). TOM due any day now. Thinking about this I realized I’m doing just fine! I’ll see the downward trend again soon.
4/29 - 144.8. Wins yesterday: hydrated well, long dog walk. Grocery shopped and meal planned. Tried to get my house back in order after a week of illness and high stress at work. Doing my best to get back in my routine this week and will hopefully see some drops. (also I swear I posted earlier but don't see my post. Guess I didn't hit post reply? Hopefully I didn't double post).
4/30 -145.3. TOM due today, not unexpected. I tend to fluctuate a good bit the few days before. Yesterday was a good day so I'm not upset about it. Wins yesterday: first real workout in a while, 4 mile run. 3 miles walking with the dog. Hydrated well. Tracked food, over my calorie goal but still in a deficit based on my activity. Goals today - stay the course. TOM fluctuation should be over soon and I'll see where I land. Hydrate lots and keep tracking food.
5/1 - 145.1. I'm all over the place with my mindset this challenge. Yesterday I was ok with the weight as I could clearly see all the challenges over the last 10 days. Today, I'm frustrated again. Nothing I can do now but move forward. Was hoping for a loss this 10 days but it was a bust. But, onward. Wins yesterday: HIIT class (first time in two weeks, it was so good to be back but TOUGH), and walked 6 miles. Hydrated well. Grazed too much, I think I was in a deficit based on my activity but I probably ate too many exercise calories back. Still having a little trouble um, getting things moving (TMI sorry!) so trying to figure that out too.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23: 195.4 (A slight decrease back to baseline! I ate around 1600 calories yesterday AND worked out, so I'm still at a deficit since my maintenance calories are set at 1960. It's pretty difficult to eat more during the week. I guess this means I'll have extra treats over the weekend. I did a 10 minute elliptical workout followed by 15 minutes of HIIT on the elliptical and finally a core workout. I made Cajun grilled chicken with asparagus and had some rice.)
04/24: 194.2 (I'm having a hard time sticking to my calories! Yesterday I ate 1375 calories and did a 50 minute elliptical workout. I was supposed to have 2613 calories with my maintenance and exercise calories. At least I'm going down toward my maintenance weight of 192.0 pounds. I made spaghetti and meatballs last night and had a decent sized bowl.)
04/25: 193.4 (My boss brought me an unexpected glazed donut and large hot chocolate from Dunkin Donuts yesterday. Oh goodness! Definitely not planned, but I drank half the hot chocolate and donut since the sugar content was too much for my liking. I did a 25 minute elliptical workout mixed with some HIIT. I made some grilled chicken pitas yesterday for dinner. So this loss is pretty nice considering the sugar high I had.)
04/26: 193.4 (I gained 1.4 pounds since last Friday. I calculated my calories from last Friday until last night and I had a deficit of almost 4500 calories over the week and still gained. I've been eating lots of high sodium things these past few days and I'm sure that is the reason for the gain. I've also increased exercise by 5 minutes this week per day but I don't think it would've made that much of a difference. Last night I had 2 slices of pizza for dinner and it was my day off from exercise too.)
04/27: 195.0 (30 minutes of weight training. Not feeling too great to post anything else other than that.)
04/28: 196.2 (50 minutes on the elliptical. Still doing maintenance but having a hard time eating all this food.)
04/29: 197.8 (Another increase, which is okay because there's still a few days left until the end of the challenge and my weigh-in day Friday. I did 55 minutes on the elliptical and could not eat all the calories I had leftover for the week. Happy Monday!)
04/30: 196.8 (On the way down. I did a 30 minute elliptical workout with a core workout. Dinner last night was sesame chicken strips, broccoli and rice.)
05/01: 195.4 (I did a 55 minute elliptical workout last night and had tons of calories to eat. I definitely enjoyed dinner last night with the extra calories I got from my workout. One more day until the challenge ends. I hope to see a mini drop by tomorrow morning.)

Glad to be back here! I ate so much over the weekend and miraculously didn't gain anything. I think I may have created a new weight set point! Hopefully! Either way I've been back to logging since yesterday, back to doing what works 😁
04/24 132.6 t = 133.4
Feeling super lathargic the last two days, which is bad because I'm a full time nanny. You can't phone that in. It's hard to tell if it's metabolic or related to depression (i.e. premenstrual dysphoria; T.O.M. is coming up). Also I haven't been working out at all, and maybe that is making me conserve more energy??? Idk, I'm gonna do a 1 mile jog before work and see if that helps.
04/25 132 t = 133.3
Yesterday was great! I went for a mile run and did my best pace since starting again, 9 min/mile. I also did some yoga. It feels good to get back on the movement train. But today my back muscles are sore. I need a massage 😂
I want to do another mile run today but I don't want to over do it, and hurt my knee.
04/26 132.6 t = 133.3
Super happy with this!
Yesterday I had a NSV, I was browsing Facebook around lunchtime and someone posted about wanted taco Bell and then all of the sudden I really wanted some taco Bell crunchy beef tacos. I realized that while attempting to achieve my goal weight I had been super strict when it came to fast food, but now that I'm securely at the low end of my range why am I still avoiding it? Could it be unhealthy anxiety? So I decided to prelog 3 crunchy tacos and guess what? They were only ~500cal, the same as my lunch usually is now. So I did it, I went over to taco Bell and had 3 crunchy tacos for lunch and guess what? It was awesome and satisfying.
04/27 133.6 t = 133.3
My weight is up a pound but my treat is still exactly the same, I love maintenance! Yesterday I decided to do a pretty difficult hike by myself mid-day and it was awesome! There were hardly any other hikers out so it really felt alone. Especially when I got to the top. I suspect my weight increase today is just water from me taxing my muscles so much yesterday.
04/28 133.8 t = 133.3
Weight is continuing upward but my trend is holding steady ☺️
I still haven't gotten T.O.M. and it was starting to really bother me. I am super regular at 27 or 28 days, and we are now at day 34. So I took a test and hallelujah 🙌 I'm not pregnant! I just need to hold out til my menses gets here, but at least I'm no longer freaking out.
04/29 133.2 t = 133.3
Yesterday was really rough. After my post I started my T.O.M. (finally!!!) and was feeling really snacky. When I went to visit my mom's booth at the craft fair she had a big bowl of salt water Taffy to luer in patrons and it was an irresistible impulse to help myself while I watched her booth so she could use the restroom. That was at 9:30 a.m. and that kind of set the tone for my day. I ended up doing to much unrestrained eating and drinking. It kind of scared me. I don't want to go back to that. I almost made myself throw-up, something I haven't done in three and a half years. I decided to google how much fat can you gain in a single day of bingeing and this article popped up and it was exactly what I needed to see.
https://legionathletics.com/how-much-fat-can-you-gain-when-you-binge/?fbclid=IwAR1czNUKhzukRR_UKa6vsqefduwm5ddSSOgsSiDPDxsKSgxOdOJCtGaSHTc
I had a fear of getting on the scale this morning. I actually stayed in bed much longer to avoid the scale. Because I knew the second I got up I'd have to weigh so I could have my wakeup water. I always wake up super thirsty, drinking about a pint to a liter straight away so I have to weigh myself first to insure we don't have water as a confounding variable in scale reading.
I still have no idea why my weight went down. It really shouldn't have with all the carbs I consumed. Ok well stay tuned to see if my body bounces up tomorrow or the next day 🧐
My final thoughts after that super long stream of consciousness: holy Hannah my trend line sure is holding steady! That's super neat!
04/30 133.4 t = 133.3
Feeling good today. Looking forward to what the day will bring.
05/01 133.4 t = 133.3
Yesterday was good but way over calories. I went on a date to a delicious Mexican place and ordered the carnitas plate, and they brought us complimentary churros, so I had one! I'm excited to be in a new month. I'm going to restart my personal daily yoga challenge. I'll report back tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 - 154.6
Yesterday was a good day. I think the uptick is from sodium (ok, and food) on Sunday. I suddenly feel very much back on track. Planning to have a good round.
04/24 - 154.4
Off to the Y to lift weights and then one of our beautiful parks for a long walk, and then I hope to find a little time to move a clematis that's planning to take over the front sidewalk. It's a gorgeous day out there!
04/25 - 153.8
Another reasonable day, although it's supposed to rain this afternoon. So nice to see everything greening up.
04/26 - 153.4
04/27 - 154.8
What? OK, well, so it goes. My calorie average has come down and I'm paying eating right, so just one of those funny little scale jokes. Have a lovely weekend, all.
04/28 - 154
04/29 - 153.8
I had a bit of a sugarfest yesterday, but am back on track today. I did go for a nice 3-mile walk along the St. Joseph River on the Indiana Native Tree Path, which is just beautiful. Today is chilly and rainy, so I'm off to the Y in a few minutes. Teach my final Writing Your Memoir class this evening - I'll be happy to have Monday evenings free but will miss the students - it's been a wonderful small class. But more time to get outdoors, put in my new garden, walk walk walk, and write my own stuff. Yay summer (she says, looking out at the 40F rainy gloom....but flowers!
04/30 - 156.2
Oh, come on! This can't be real. But ok, I'll record it. Pffft.
05/01 - 156.2
I'm flummoxed by this weight. Oh, well, it is what it is. I'm eating responsibly and exercising, so all will be well.

Meal planned, shopped, worked out, no-mayo tuna salad for dinner and meal prepped. Good day, but should have taken the pups for a walk instead of spending the last 40 minutes on the couch. Awesome plan for today and will get in some steps in addition to working out my arms. No couch time tonight!
24-Apr... 193.2... -0.6
Did good on portion control with my skinnytaste bolognese sauce with penne (pasta is my FAVORITE). But at my little meeting last night had an extra glass of wine and 5 hershey kisses. Did NOT come home and have another as I usually would so celebrating the small successes! I will take the over half pound loss joyously!
25-Apr... 191.4... -1.8
Had lovely lunch for Admin Pro day. Best part? Walked in the sunshine to get there and back. Steps, Baby! But, boss encouraged a frosty beverage along with lunch. Odd thing is I was craving junk all the rest of the night and DID NOT want to work out. But guess what? I ate a handful of almonds and another skinnytaste muffin, got a big glass of water and after that had settled... I worked out. Was within 100 cals of daily goal with all that so just took a shower and slipped into bed. Better there than in the kitchen eating crap. It paid off because the scale is down almost another 2 lbs. My little hangover belly is almost gone when I stand up straight. Love those non-scale wins!
26-Apr... 190.8... -0.6
Leftover filet taco for lunch. Made an AWESOME pork tenderloin last night for dinner with half cup garlic mashed taters and a lovely arugula strawberry feta salad. So so so satisfying. Even had a couple glasses of wine and stayed within calorie range. Took the pups out. Measured myself this morning from 4/9 and down an inch in waist and hips, half inch breast and calf and a quarter on neck. Stupid thighs won't budge but we are getting there.
27-Apr... 190.2... -0.6
Leftover dinner for lunch and a nice sirloin steak with rice and spinach for dinner. Man do I NOT feel deprived, but I am HUNGRY this morning. Worked out, stayed busy and scale down again. This 10-dayer is turning out AWESOME. Going out to dinner with the fam tonight so MAKE GOOD CHOICES!
28-Apr... 191... +0.8
Bound to happen. I'm ok with it... chilling the rest of the day. Got up to 5.5 MPH on my run today for half a song on my 8 minute blast and felt SO good after the workout. I'm getting better at it all and can do so much more than just a month ago. Super proud!
29-Apr... 192... +1
30-Apr... 192.6... +0.6
So here is where it gets difficult. I am so so so busy with work and home life that making the time for meal plan/prep is non existent. Need to get my booty to the store and get healthy choices and plan lunch the night before. This uptick will drop off once I work out tonight and I HAVE to do it. No going backward on my killer C25K progress. 2 more days to get back to my almost 3 lb loss this round. I'm makin it happen!
1-May... 190.8... -1.6
That's more like it. I WORKED OUT LAST NIGHT. And let me tell you after being so proud of running 8 minutes twice over the weekend, when her little voice came on and said, "Ok, start running for....... 20 minutes..." I literally screamed out loud. Didn't want to work out in the first place after a 12 hour workday when I still had to get more done, I force myself, and the b!tch literally doubles my time. Gotta love C25K! Here's to a 1.6 lb loss and a new day! Kickin *kitten* and takin' names people! (that's my pump me up speech.. I'm tired already!)

Round 74 Skipped
4/23 175.7 I skipped a round but still weighed everyday. I missed the therapeutic experience of typing out my frustrations. I am happy enough with that number. I did see 172.7 while I was away but I knew it was an anomaly so I didn't change my weight. I have completed all three rings on my Apple watch 9 of the last 10 days, only 3 days this month when I didn't do at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. To be fair I counted hours of yard work as exercise but I cut down 3 truck loads of brush in the last two weeks and hauled it off to the "green" dump. Below is a pic of my beautiful great niece on my lap. I am posting it because you can see my legs and for the first time in my life I'm not completely embarrassed by them. Sure they're still big but not as lumpy. We had a great Easter.
4/24 177.7 It's water from leftover Easter ham. I swear I am never making ham again, 3 little ounces has 38% of your daily recommended amount of sodium. Do you think I only had 3 oz? I think 2 pounds gained in 24 hours tells the story better than I can. Went to the gym for an hour on the machines. Driving today, I may or may not stop to walk. Depends on the weather and how tired I am when I get there. I'm torn between keeping my exercise streak on my phone and tired legs. But after being stuck in the car for a couple of hours a thirty minute walk would feel good.
4/25 No Scale I stopped for my walk, three miles only. It kept looking like it was going to rain. The bluffs are so cool at this spot. Turkey vultures nest on top, so you are treated to an aerial show on the way. I stayed within goal despite the froyo for dessert.
4/26 No Scale I took a short walk yesterday and had a good work day. Today work a little in the morning (just at the hotel, no need to dress like a banker) then hit the road. I'm looking for new trails that are close to the highway. I love the All Trails app. I really wish I would have had it when I was traveling around the country and not just to St Louis. Oh well. Stayed within goal yesterday and found a new health food conscious restaurant to go for lunch. Happy Friday ya'll!
4/27 174.4 Back down and happy. I would like to see 16X at some point in my life. I got in a two mile walk at a pretty little park in Wentzville. I was feeling too tired for much else. Drove home and went to dinner with girlfriends.
4/28 175.2 Yard work was my only exercise but that was four hours of not stopping. The yard looks sooooo much better. Supposed to have a fun date with the man but TOM decided it wouldn't be as fun.
4/29 174.9 More yard work supplemented with hours of house work. When you travel all the time you can't do the little things during the week you would normally do so you're stuck wasting your weekends and days off doing it.
4/30 174.3 Down during this annoying TOM is always good. I'm on the 18th day in a row of hitting my Move goal and my 16th day in a row of three perfect rings. Tonight is weights but by tomorrow I'm going to be jonesing for the trail. Three days without walking is the longest stretch in several months.
5/1 174.3 At least there wasn't a gain. I did not go to the gym last night. I have felt tired for days, MS will do that to me sometimes. I went to bed early, my body was tired but my brain wasn't. Didn't fall asleep until after midnight. My "workout" was an hour and a half of taking ALL hanging clothes out of my closet and trying them on and sorting into donations and things my friends might want. I now have about 10 things hanging up. I am mad at myself that there were a couple of blouses that I had kept for "when I lose 20 pounds" and when I tried them on they were too big. I mean that's a mad I can live with but still, I should have checked sooner. I just assumed they wouldn't fit, body dysmorphia- am I right???12
