SW:123.6
AGW:121
UGW:115
Goal #1: Pass my Body Flow instructor test- thus practice everyday- very nervous about this!
Goal #2: Track and record my food intake, focusing on calories and protein.
Goal #3: Prepare and plan better meals for me and my family.
1/8 -1/7 Visiting parents, definitely not a vacation
7/8 - 123.6- shocked I did not gain weight while away...nice to get home to normalcy.
8/8 -
9/8 -Filmed my video for submission to pass Body Flow instructor test- What a relief that is done, now I have to wait and see. Seem to have caught cold on flight back from visiting parents. Feel awful today
10/8 - Feel worse...Must miss my girlfriend weekend, staying home in bed.
11/8 -123.4 Feel Better but can not breathe thru nose. My son visiting, made his favorite, homemade Spicy tuna rolls sushi and Spicy Ponzu sauce.
12/8 -123.6 Still not feeling great but going to body pump. Did make a wonderful dinner last night. January, Bon Appetit cover recipe - Spicy Pork and Kale soup ( recipe actually Spicy Pork and Mustard Greens but we like Kale better), even my daughter who hate all healthy food said it was delicious. I used leftover roasted veggies instead of rice noodles.
13/8 -123 Finally cold is subsiding but TOM and whopper migraine...took my medication hope to be better shortly - taking my daughter and friends to spin class today. Both girls are anti-exercise so can not pass up opportunity. Seem to have reached a plateau at 123 and can not get below.
14/8 -123.6
15/8 -
16/8 -123.2 Made Ratatouille last night, delicious, I love high volume low calorie foods...Having for breakfast with 2 fried eggs, 1/2 a chicken sausage...great meal before body pump.
17/8 -122.4 Wow thought I would never see below 123...So much wonderful advice in these forums but patience has never been a virtue for me. Been really suffering with migraines the past week, hard to believe it could bewares then normal as normal is now everyday with a headache. Hoping for menopause soon. At the rate I am going I doubt I meet my goal of anywhere 121...but 122 is pretty exciting for me. I guess I am losing less than .5 a week now.
18/8 -123.4 Chineese take out lucky not higher number considering the sodium and how I love retaining water
19/8 -123.4 Seem to love 123 but good news for a Monday - is a great number. Still suffering this migraine, becoming exhausted fighting the pain. I am feeling a little better this evening, the first time I have had break, hope to have finally broke this cycle.
21/8 0 122.4 Happy to drop below 123 again but feel the 122's will be like the 123's several weeks of bebopping around testing my perseverance. Headache finally starting to abate, they are hormonal and this whole approaching menopause is just ending in a bang for me. Off to body pump this morning, then busy day with my daughter before I take her back to school next week.2 -

GW: 133
I'm going to add in one thing to force myself to measure at the end of the month......
Bust: 39
Band: 34
Waist: 29
Hips 38.5
Beach vacation from the 7th-12th - won't weigh in or check in much during that time, but I do plan to be very active with exercise and keep food within reason.
Goal #1: Workout 5 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk
DONE! - Goal #2: Build Upper Body Strength - 90 Second Planks - Forearm & Extended Do 7 real push ups
Goal #3: Limit alcohol to 3 days a week
Goal #4:(I had to add 1 more). Stay consistent on Push Up Challenge group. First Day will be August 5th.
8/1 - 145.8 - rode my colt before work. Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch. Stayed under cal allowance & NO alcohol (or chips & salsa)
8/2 - 146.4 - Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch - NO alcohol - staring down a 6.5 hour drive so the reality is that I'll likely go over a bit on calories. Next 2 days I'll be on my feet working. Everyone have a fabulous wknd & I'll be back on Monday!
8/3-4 - DNW - Spent the wknd on my feet helping at a barrel race. So sore by Sunday finish and drove 6.5 hours home. Ate more junk/concession food than I should've, events are tough. Exhausted on the drive home - weakened and had big fat Whataburger bacon cheeseburger with onion rings - it was ridiculously good. On the upside - other than a breakfast burrito - that's about all I had. No alcohol Sat - 1 White Claw on Sunday.
8/5 - 149.2 - Ouch! I think the junk food, lack of water over the wknd hit me pretty hard. Trying to hit it pretty hard this morning - drug my butt out of bed early and rode my colt. Yoga Burn Week 4 & 5 at lunch - Week 1, Day 1 Push Up challenge. Did really well on food - helped that I wasn't hungry - finished at 630 cals.
8/6 - 147 - Whew!! Had a FABULOUS ride on my good horse that's been on vacation to kick off the morning. Yoga Burn week 4 & 5 at lunch.
8/7 - 8/12 - VAAACAAATIOOONNN - BEACHES & ALL THE FOODS
8/13 - 149.4 not really surprised, but getting back at it this morning. We had an absolutely fabulous time in FL and I think I ate my weight in seafood (not a bit sorry). Rode one colt before work this morning & brought my workout clothes. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - day 1 of pushup challenge. Today was a struggle working out. UGH!
8/14 - 146.6 Step in the right direction. Kept my cals under goal yesterday. No riding this morning, but cleaned 3 stalls and started working on some basic leash training with my puppy... I need the mosquitos to die so I can start walking the little heathen. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - Day 2 of pushup challenge at lunch. Hit goal on cals for the day.
8/15 - 146.0 - At least I'm about back to where I started the month and I can now do a rep of 6 pushups. Slept in a bit - my colt is sore - REALLY missed my morning ride. UGH of a day - went with my bosses to lunch and inhaled a massive enchilada plate, chips & salsa, and a big ol' sopapilla. Dinner was 2 White Claws so didn't go too far over cals.
8/16 - 146.2 - Much better morning - started with riding a colt I've had turned out for a couple weeks. Wound up being a long day - work/life got in the way of my workouts. We took the kids to the local fiesta all evening, no workout and carnival food.
8/19 - 145.8 - Rode this morning, ready to get back on track. Yoga Burn Week 6 at lunch and Push Up Challenge Week 3 (I had to modify it a bit) Did decent with food, went a bit over
NSV for me - 7,5,6,5,7 - I met my goal of being able to do 7 pushups in a rep! Knocked out total of 30 today!
8/20 - 146.8 - I think it's water weight from last night's pasta. Exhausted so I took the morning off from riding. Yoga Burn Week 5 & 6 at lunch. Cleaned 11 stalls last night but food was rather off the rails. Stayed within cal bounds - but 2 cake daylight doughnuts & white claws - ugh!
8/21 - 10 days left in august. 145.6 - Rode a colt before work - I'll do better on nutrition today.0 -

You can do it!! I would mix up your workout. How about some cardio? Do you get your heart rates up? Weights and yoga are great! But it might turn up the burn if you get your heart rate up.0 -
Races went really well IMO, and I was pretty excited for the progress I made - still a long ways to go, but made a leap that I've been hoping to see for the past 2 1/2 years, and am excited for a few weeks to get more prepared for the next round!

I'm going to buy a mountain bike just for that purpose on Sat! Pretty excited about it - I've been doing a lot of research and headed to a couple of bike shops. Next month I'm going to work in riding the bike 30 min 3x a week for some cardio.3 -

But I have seen written in these forums how important sleep is...maybe that was my ticket. Headache has finally abated. Cycling between no headache to small headache - totally awesome for me.. Funny I also had to grab takeout last night for dinner and so frustrated with my day had a glass of wine with dinner...Ate all my exercise calories and then some- was prepared for an ugly number this morning but I dropped.2 -

Hey, maybe that's what you needed! Take out, glass of wine and ZZZ!!!
Your body was tired. Your head is tired! (migraines) Sometimes we push too hard, forget to catch up with rest. I do the same- Hope you're feeling better today!! 3 -

Hips 38.5
Beach vacation from the 7th-12th - won't weigh in or check in much during that time, but I do plan to be very active with exercise and keep food within reason.
Goal #1: Workout 5 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk
DONE! - Goal #2: Build Upper Body Strength - 90 Second Planks - Forearm & Extended Do 7 real push ups
Goal #3: Limit alcohol to 3 days a week
Goal #4:(I had to add 1 more). Stay consistent on Push Up Challenge group. First Day will be August 5th.
8/1 - 145.8 - rode my colt before work. Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch. Stayed under cal allowance & NO alcohol (or chips & salsa)
8/2 - 146.4 - Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch - NO alcohol - staring down a 6.5 hour drive so the reality is that I'll likely go over a bit on calories. Next 2 days I'll be on my feet working. Everyone have a fabulous wknd & I'll be back on Monday!
8/3-4 - DNW - Spent the wknd on my feet helping at a barrel race. So sore by Sunday finish and drove 6.5 hours home. Ate more junk/concession food than I should've, events are tough. Exhausted on the drive home - weakened and had big fat Whataburger bacon cheeseburger with onion rings - it was ridiculously good. On the upside - other than a breakfast burrito - that's about all I had. No alcohol Sat - 1 White Claw on Sunday.
8/5 - 149.2 - Ouch! I think the junk food, lack of water over the wknd hit me pretty hard. Trying to hit it pretty hard this morning - drug my butt out of bed early and rode my colt. Yoga Burn Week 4 & 5 at lunch - Week 1, Day 1 Push Up challenge. Did really well on food - helped that I wasn't hungry - finished at 630 cals.
8/6 - 147 - Whew!! Had a FABULOUS ride on my good horse that's been on vacation to kick off the morning. Yoga Burn week 4 & 5 at lunch.
8/7 - 8/12 - VAAACAAATIOOONNN - BEACHES & ALL THE FOODS
8/13 - 149.4 not really surprised, but getting back at it this morning. We had an absolutely fabulous time in FL and I think I ate my weight in seafood (not a bit sorry). Rode one colt before work this morning & brought my workout clothes. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - day 1 of pushup challenge. Today was a struggle working out. UGH!
8/14 - 146.6 Step in the right direction. Kept my cals under goal yesterday. No riding this morning, but cleaned 3 stalls and started working on some basic leash training with my puppy... I need the mosquitos to die so I can start walking the little heathen. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - Day 2 of pushup challenge at lunch. Hit goal on cals for the day.
8/15 - 146.0 - At least I'm about back to where I started the month and I can now do a rep of 6 pushups. Slept in a bit - my colt is sore - REALLY missed my morning ride. UGH of a day - went with my bosses to lunch and inhaled a massive enchilada plate, chips & salsa, and a big ol' sopapilla. Dinner was 2 White Claws so didn't go too far over cals.
8/16 - 146.2 - Much better morning - started with riding a colt I've had turned out for a couple weeks. Wound up being a long day - work/life got in the way of my workouts. We took the kids to the local fiesta all evening, no workout and carnival food.
8/19 - 145.8 - Rode this morning, ready to get back on track. Yoga Burn Week 6 at lunch and Push Up Challenge Week 3 (I had to modify it a bit) Did decent with food, went a bit over NSV for me - 7,5,6,5,7 - I met my goal of being able to do 7 pushups in a rep! Knocked out total of 30 today!
8/20 - 146.8 - I think it's water weight from last night's pasta. Exhausted so I took the morning off from riding. Yoga Burn Week 5 & 6 at lunch. Cleaned 11 stalls last night but food was rather off the rails. Stayed within cal bounds - but 2 cake daylight doughnuts & white claws - ugh!
8/21 - 10 days left in august. 145.6 - Rode a colt before work - Yoga Burn week 6 & Push Up Challenge wk 3 at lunch 7,5,6,5,7 - I'm pretty happy with this considering I couldn't do more than 3 pushups on my toes a few weeks ago. Hauled hay & stayed under calories. I only had to move about 30 bales from the field - but they're heavy.
8/22 - 146.4 - Ugh! Pretty body sore & exhausted. No riding. Yoga Burn Week 5 & 6 at lunch.0 -
NSV - wore a skirt to work that I couldn't button last time I tried a couple of months ago & got lots of compliments on it! 6

Beach vacation from the 7th-12th - won't weigh in or check in much during that time, but I do plan to be very active with exercise and keep food within reason.
Goal #1: Workout 5 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk
DONE! - Goal #2: Build Upper Body Strength - 90 Second Planks - Forearm & Extended Do 7 real push ups
Goal #3: Limit alcohol to 3 days a week
Goal #4:(I had to add 1 more). Stay consistent on Push Up Challenge group. First Day will be August 5th.
8/1 - 145.8 - rode my colt before work. Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch. Stayed under cal allowance & NO alcohol (or chips & salsa)
8/2 - 146.4 - Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch - NO alcohol - staring down a 6.5 hour drive so the reality is that I'll likely go over a bit on calories. Next 2 days I'll be on my feet working. Everyone have a fabulous wknd & I'll be back on Monday!
8/3-4 - DNW - Spent the wknd on my feet helping at a barrel race. So sore by Sunday finish and drove 6.5 hours home. Ate more junk/concession food than I should've, events are tough. Exhausted on the drive home - weakened and had big fat Whataburger bacon cheeseburger with onion rings - it was ridiculously good. On the upside - other than a breakfast burrito - that's about all I had. No alcohol Sat - 1 White Claw on Sunday.
8/5 - 149.2 - Ouch! I think the junk food, lack of water over the wknd hit me pretty hard. Trying to hit it pretty hard this morning - drug my butt out of bed early and rode my colt. Yoga Burn Week 4 & 5 at lunch - Week 1, Day 1 Push Up challenge. Did really well on food - helped that I wasn't hungry - finished at 630 cals.
8/6 - 147 - Whew!! Had a FABULOUS ride on my good horse that's been on vacation to kick off the morning. Yoga Burn week 4 & 5 at lunch.
8/7 - 8/12 - VAAACAAATIOOONNN - BEACHES & ALL THE FOODS
8/13 - 149.4 not really surprised, but getting back at it this morning. We had an absolutely fabulous time in FL and I think I ate my weight in seafood (not a bit sorry). Rode one colt before work this morning & brought my workout clothes. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - day 1 of pushup challenge. Today was a struggle working out. UGH!
8/14 - 146.6 Step in the right direction. Kept my cals under goal yesterday. No riding this morning, but cleaned 3 stalls and started working on some basic leash training with my puppy... I need the mosquitos to die so I can start walking the little heathen. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - Day 2 of pushup challenge at lunch. Hit goal on cals for the day.
8/15 - 146.0 - At least I'm about back to where I started the month and I can now do a rep of 6 pushups. Slept in a bit - my colt is sore - REALLY missed my morning ride. UGH of a day - went with my bosses to lunch and inhaled a massive enchilada plate, chips & salsa, and a big ol' sopapilla. Dinner was 2 White Claws so didn't go too far over cals.
8/16 - 146.2 - Much better morning - started with riding a colt I've had turned out for a couple weeks. Wound up being a long day - work/life got in the way of my workouts. We took the kids to the local fiesta all evening, no workout and carnival food.
8/19 - 145.8 - Rode this morning, ready to get back on track. Yoga Burn Week 6 at lunch and Push Up Challenge Week 3 (I had to modify it a bit) Did decent with food, went a bit over NSV for me - 7,5,6,5,7 - I met my goal of being able to do 7 pushups in a rep! Knocked out total of 30 today!
8/20 - 146.8 - I think it's water weight from last night's pasta. Exhausted so I took the morning off from riding. Yoga Burn Week 5 & 6 at lunch. Cleaned 11 stalls last night but food was rather off the rails. Stayed within cal bounds - but 2 cake daylight doughnuts & white claws - ugh!
8/21 - 10 days left in august. 145.6 - Rode a colt before work - Yoga Burn week 6 & Push Up Challenge wk 3 at lunch 7,5,6,5,7 - I'm pretty happy with this considering I couldn't do more than 3 pushups on my toes a few weeks ago. Hauled hay & stayed under calories. I only had to move about 30 bales from the field - but they're heavy.
8/22 - 146.4 - Ugh! Pretty body sore & exhausted. No riding. Yoga Burn Week 5 & 6 at lunch. Did well with cals - but I suck at no alcohol. Shot of Titos in soda water with lemon = such a satisfying way to wind down. Got in LOTS of walking this evening.
8/23 - 146.2 - Happy Friyay! Up and at it early - my colt was freakin fabulous!! He might wind up better than I predicted. One of my Mom's friends gave her a really nice mountain bike & she's letting me have it! I'll have it by Labor day at the latest - I think adding some cardio will really help my results.2 -

SW: 74.6 kg
GW: 72 kg
Goal #1: Bike to work 2 times a week - a total of 66 km a day with an electric bike
Goal #2: Stay around my goal calories, regardless of extra exercise
Goal #3: Prep for homework days
Week 1: got all three goals, but I gained some weight back, thus still 74.6 this morning
Ok, so I met all three goals last week, and I've added the 100 push-up challenge. This morning I was at 75.9 !
I know I shouldn't focus on the number on the scale, but it is starting to get a bit discouraging. I just had a weekend with a family bbq, where my daily total was around 2.000 kcal, and yesterday I was around 1.800 kcal dealing with leftovers, but that should be no reason to have gained more than a full kilo when all the other days I had a big deficit.
My body isn't reacting as it should (and I know it well by know) and that is frustrating.
Ow well ... I'll stop the rant and just get on with it I guess.
72.4
I got my goals last week, except only one bike to work, as my bike needed repair so I had to skip my last ride. I'm also still doing the pushup challenge, still on the knees but it's a start.
Weightwise, I've lost a whopping 3.5 kilo's in one week, which isn't possible so I'm now pretty sure that last week was just a wonky number on the scale.
I also got 3 dives in, and I made up with a very dear friend, so life is good at this moment
72.9
But yesterday it was 72.2, so I'm not discouraged.
I got my goals last week, except one day of the pushup challenge that I planned doing yesterday, but then the day got way better than expected. We were having lunch with a group of friends, and there was so much excellent food and the weather was so nice that we ended up lounging in the garden until late at night. So I skipped my pushups, but it was totally worth it. This morning, I filled in my cals of yesterday and where I thought I would end up around 3.000, I ended up with 1.600. Skipping the booze made a big difference, haha ! :-)
It also made me realise that I can participate in a big fest, and still making good choices without feeling deprived in the least.
Now back to work with a lot of caffeine !
