    No excuses. I just really messed up eating last weekend. Now I have to undo the damage

    MUAC for 3/13:
    Tracked: yes
    Under: yes - I think; I had two restaurant tacos that didn't list calories so did my best to track
    Exercised: yes - 3.1 miles with the pup

    Congrats to @LonelyKatGirl2, @Robandy12345 , @thedestar (congrats on the 160s!), and @Jerricajo07 on their recent losses! Excellent job!

    CW: 140 :(
    PW: 139

    I am not happy about the weigh-in. However, I am continuing to see progress on inches lost. Notably, some of the main losses since I began tracking at the beginning of the year are from the areas that give me my unhealthy apple shape - under bra (-3"), waist (-1.5"), abdomen (-1.75).

    For those who are not seeing the needle change on the scale, but are feeling some tightening up from exercise, you might keep track of measurements. (On the negative side, my cholesterol is back up, slightly out of normal range at 207, so I need to work on that again.)

    I am in the 'up a pound' club after all. And it just goes to show me (again!) that WHAT makes up your calories matters as much as that total number. <sigh> I am not sure I'll ever learn in my heart, but that's why I keep coming back here for inspiration. I have really upped my steps this past week, and feel good about that. I need to add some strength training, too, but it always seems to be last on my list.

    Starting: 165
    Last week: 164.4
    Friday weigh in: 165.4

    Monday I am getting my first vaccine, fingers crossed, so it should be interesting to see what effect, if any, that has on my progress.

    @annabananamc good luck with your shot. Still waiting to get on the eligible list. 😕

    WEIGH-IN

    174.6

    Apparently, the very bad and destructive habits are lurking just below the surface at all times. But it wasn't as bad as I thought on the scales, so I am feeling better about moving forward again.

    We had friends over for the first time in a long while and it was so nice. I didn't keep track of hors d'oeuvres and dinner.

    Yesterday was a horrible day. I struggled really hard. However, I did not let myself beat myself up about it! I keep telling myself that this is a lifestyle change and it’s not gonna be perfect everyday. As long as I don’t stop trying and I make the effort every day, I’m good! Today is a new day and I’m ready for it 😊

    @rawrxamberx Sorry that you had a bad day, sadly it happens to everyone. You have the right attitude though. Also, I try to live by the 80/20 rule. As long as I eat right and exercise 80 percent of the time, I'm not going to stress myself out over the 20 that I don't.

    Happy Monday!!

    I refrained from making cherry pie yesterday for Pi Day despite my nerdy family - so that was a win!

    I'm sorry you had a bad day but love your attitude - and that's what will continue to make you successful at losing weight!

    That's impressive that you resisted making the pie!
