Week 1 Weigh in
Thursday
Previous:168.8
Current: 171.0
Honestly, I don’t know why I’m up this time. Even though I’ve eaten well and exercised consistently since returning from the conference, the numbers have continued to ease up, not down since Sunday. Hopefully that means next week there’ll be a Swoosh! I’m certainly not backing off of doing what I know is right. Gotta reverse this trend!
Maybe I’ll go back to intermittent fasting (not extreme) and see if that helps?2 -

Happy hump day team. The scale is creeping up and that’s not good. Gotta get myself under control with food, especially with snacking. I haven’t been preparing my snacks like I was doing a couple of weeks ago and this is leading to lots of mindless snacking in between meals. I must lose what I’ve gained by the end of September! I will go into surgery back to my weight I was before surgery last year. I can I can I can!

Always great news when your dr decreases medication. It means you are making some good changes! I hope it helps with your overall weight loss goals.2 -

There will be a swoosh for sure next week. Put it behind you and focus on what makes you feel good and strong.2 -
Checking in after a few busy days.
I’ve had a good week and see the scale droppings every day. I’ve been consistently walking at lunch, drinking my water at work, logging what I eat. I’ve known for a long time that this is what I need to do but it’s that consistency and making myself a higher priority that gets in the way of my success.
I also decided to give up chocolate for Lent. I’m over a week now without it. I’ve actually stopped counting the days which is huge for me. I’ve made a few changes that I think decrease the cravings - no sugar in my tea is one of them.
Goals for today:
1. More water at work
2. Even though I’m swamped at work take at least a 30 minute walk at lunch or this evening
3. Measure and log everything. All it takes is a few extra minutes from my morning routine.

Intermittent fasting has always intrigued me. Did it work for you in the past? How long did you fast and did you get really hungry once you started eating? Sorry for all the questions.1 -

PW: 247.6

Calories- within range if I count in exercise calories. I had pizza last night which really didn't seem worth the high calories and fat.
Plank Challenge- day 3 done

Thursday check in
Exercise: 57 minute walk
Calories: under
Water: just barely
Plank challenge no ( so I will switch tomorrow’s rest day with today)
Swimming was a bust this week. I had stomach troubles earlier in week and we had an appointment at the bank tonight. Next week I have to get swimming, no excuses. I have my granddaughter tomorrow as it is a pd day, so I am hoping to drag her out for a walk. If not I will do it indoors.1
