    1. Move for 30 minutes every single day – go for a run, yoga, etc.
    2. Log all calories, and stay at or under goal most days
    3. Wake up at 7:30 on weekdays and log my progress for the day before
    4. Complete ab workout challenge.

    4/15 – I met absolutely none of my goals – this day was my inspiration to start logging daily. I am hoping it will keep me accountable.
    4/16 – I met all of my goals this day! Waking up is going to be the hardest part.

    Bust: 38 - Aug (-1")
    Band: 33 - Aug (-1")
    Waist: 28.5 - Aug (-.5")
    Hips 38.5- No change in Aug

    1. GET A GRIP - somehow create a routine again.
    2. Walk at lunch 4x a week
    3. Stay consistent with Workout Challenge

    4/1 - 144.0 - really not surprised, I way overdid it by 500 calories yesterday (double stuffed oreos anyone?). So 4/1 is a fresh start. Errands at lunch, but I did do Day 1 - 20 situps, 20 squats, 10 pushups and 30 sec plank. Took 5 min and much more challenging than expected. I think I'm going to do this twice a day - mornings & lunch.
    4/2 - 145.0 - Ugh! I did better yesterday, but did have cheddar popcorn as a snack. Today's goal - Do day 2 twice. Ride/Garden/clean stalls tonight. Met eating & exercise goals! First time in a while I've met my daily goals!
    4/3 - 144.6 - So my abs are so sore today! Thanks @weatherking2019! Today I will focus on same goals as yesterday - pretty sure my body is going to be screaming at me doing pushups.. but it's going to happen. Managed Day 3 - 2x.
    4/6 - 144.3 - Spent the weekend working on my new flowerbed..and replanting all my pots. My body is so dang sore, didn't do the graphic this wknd but moved lots of mulch and garden soil. Didn't do great on food yesterday, but did work outdoors from 9 to 4 and then rode for a couple of hours. Did Day 4 - twice. Rode 2 horses. Decent on food, but had a homemade chocolate chip cookie - have to get better at cutting the sugar.
    4/7 - 145.0 - Lunch workout - 2 reps 28 sit ups, 28 squats, 28 lounges, 3 reps of 10 pushups and a 1 min plank followed by 30 min brisk walk. Kept intake under 1300 for the day. NO SUGAR (celebrating small victories these days)
    4/8 - 145.0 - Lunch workout - 28 lounges, 30 sit ups, 30 pushups, 1 min plank & 30 min brisk walk. Rode for 2 hours after 2 work. stayed within food allowance for the day and NO SUGAR! :)
    4/9 - 145.0 - I seem to be stuck here.
    4/15 - 144.6 - didn't realize it had been so long since I checked in.... Easter was great - finished my new flowerbeds and we celebrated all day Sunday. I'm on Day 8 of the workout graphic - my body needed a break the last 2 days from all the manual labor I did Fri/Sat. I'm not doing the squats going forward, subbing some other exercises. (thanks for videos @weatherking2019)
    4/16 - 143.6 - Did decent on eating yesterday and rode for a couple of hours. Funny how much better I feel this morning not being all bloated from stuff. Keep calories at 1500 - rode for 2 hours and worked on my garden for a while.
    4/17 - forgot to weigh - it's FRIDAY!!! I so need a wknd!

    32 years old, 157 cm (5'2")
    SW 57kg (126lb)
    SW April 55.4kg (122lb)
    GW 52kg (115lb)

    Goals:
    1) Reach one month of logging constantly (16th of April)
    2) Log every day for all of April
    3) Take my measurements and not only the weight (every two weeks)
    4) Workout at least three times a week (especially strength training)

    1/04 = 55,4 kg (122lb)
    6/04 = 56,3 kg (124lb) = Ate pizza the night before
    9/04 = 55,8 kg (123lb)
    11/04 = 55,4 kg (122lb)
    14/04 = 54,8 kg (120,8 lb)
    17/04 = 55,1 kg (121,4 lb)

    Reached Goal 1! I logged regularly every day for a month. Weight going down as a result, even if slowly.

    I haven't taken my measurement yet, but will do tomorrow morning.
    I worked out only once this week, but I'm confident I will do something today and during the weekend.

    I really need to get a grip. My clothes are starting to feel tight and I wake up bloated; I even had to put my wedding ring on a different finger, that's how bloated I am.
    I'm doing pretty good during my working days, until the evening when I start snacking like crazy. That is because I'm tired as work has exploded.
    This weekend was horrible as boredom set in big time: no diving, no cycling as there are too many people on the roads thus the only thing I do is walking and it's not enough to counter my eating. I need to be more mindful in the evening and I need a battleplan for my non-working days. I'll give it some thought.

    @Antiopelle I hear you! I went to the park yesterday as I saw it was going to rain all week on the forecast. But so did everyone in town! It was so crowded. I got my steps in but weekend boredom is real.
    I kept busy baking and cooking for everyone but that means food everywhere! I ended up doing my nails and facial mask so I couldn't touch or eat anything! lol
    That is recommended. It works! :D

    Goal 1: don't get frustrated and give up!
    Goal 2: drink more water
    Goal 3: manage stress

    4/1: 138
    4/6: 136.2 Working from home has allowed me the time to work out and cook that I didn't have before. I am now doing the none-to-run program which is like Couch to 5k, but it is 12 weeks and encourages strength training. I got a stress fracture the last time I tried to run on my own schedule, so this is helping me build up to a comfortable pace slowly.
    4/13: 135.8 Found a 36 oz stainless steel water bottle. Hoping to drink 2 full bottles so 72 oz a day for 21 days to make it a habit!
    4/21: 136.0 Did well with the water the first day πŸ˜’ since then I've been drinking at least 40oz every day which is an improvement.

    4/21 - 145.0 - annoying considering that I kept it under 1200 yesterday....but at least I did take a few usable shots of the horses. There's one that I absolutely love.
