Current goal: 131 (pre vacation weigh 5/8t)
Recent success: down from 135 (5/16-last week)
Strategy for your goal: add in some more cardio, better logging, skip the ever present summer desserts and limit to 1-2/wk. limit alcohol to average 1 drink/day (so. Many. Parties).

Shorts and some dresses are still feeling a little snug, and stomach feeling a little jiggly. Trying to remember when faced with yet more ice cream that I hate this feeling

Well, first week went well, second was totally off the rails. So much eating and drinking and so little moving (I worked out but was stuck at a desk the rest of the time).

So scale is moving the wrong way and I triggered the worst gallbladder attack I’ve ever had yesterday (my gallbladder is low functioning, so any big/multi day fatty snack food binge will trigger pain). Spent the afternoon in bed, am now trying to find the lowest fat foods I can for a week or so of gallbladder reset. No fun, since a lot of low fat foods have fake sweeteners, which also trigger gallbladder problems for me. Guess I’ll actually have to plan some real meals for me (last week we hosted a foreign soccer coach and that involved a lot of cooking/prep and parties, but little non-meat healthy stuff for me). Pity party over, I’m at the gym looking forward to my vegan fake burger and salad 😆

So goal is still get back to 131. Additional goal is get gallbladder under control.

How long in maintenance: 4.5 years
Goal maintenance range: 136.5-138.5
Current weight:141
Current goal: Continue not eating after dinner, except occasionally.
Recent success: Weight yo-yos back up to 140/141 when it should be trending 138-139. No successes this week.
Strategy for your goal: Continue to avoid the above; get back to correct range. Watch carefully what I am eating, i.e., up the fruits and veggies and protein, lower the carbs.

How long in maintenance: around 9 months
Goal maintenance range: 112-118
Trendweight 23rd June: 119.2
Trendweight 30th June: 119.2
Current goal: 116
Recent successes: 37 mile charity walk completed on Friday! Also, earlier in the week scale weight dropped into goal range for the first time since February! I’m up a little from all the walking but think it is a lot of water retention and should drop back off again quickly.
Strategies: get back into my regular running and eating routine now that training is over. I’m heading to Paris next weekend so will try to eat only some of the tasty pastries, and not all of them.
Have a lovely week everybody
