    Day, Weight, Comment

    3/23 – 196.4 – 13,908 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Another stressful job interview today. Hope I don’t get so nervous that I blow it again. Another presentation for this one. Also hope I don’t drink entire bottle of wine afterward.

    3/24 – 198.2 – 10,208 steps, 20 min aerobics yesterday. Job interview rescheduled after preparing all day. Now I get to do it again tomorrow. Ate some scary delivery tacos last night that are still sitting undigested in my system. Fasting today.

    3/25 - 195.4 - 13,438 steps yesterday. Fasted yesterday so I know this drop is temporary but it still feels like progress to have finally dropped below 196. I really, really, really would like to be at or below 195 April 1. A challenging schedule the next week, but I’ll find a way! Please lord let me finish with this job interview today. Then I write a press release Saturday for this job, then I can focus on my current job. Sheesh. Job seeking is tough. Also finalized application to secondary licensure program yesterday and may be enrolling in a summer course if neither of the jobs I’m still in the running for hires me.

    3/26 – 197.8 – 10,222 steps yesterday. Eek. Drank almost a whole bottle of wine last night. Not feeling great today! It was really stressful preparing for yesterday’s job interview. I don’t think the job is a good fit for me and I’m focusing now on educator licensure. I quit my marketing job 5 years ago to focus on teaching with the goal of transitioning from higher ed adjunct to secondary English teacher, and I’m finally doing that. It’s been a winding path. Through my education degree I learned how hard it is and that made me rethink my choice, but it’s my passion. This challenge is like my personal diary. TMI alert. Health is more than weight, though. I am going to finish up the application process for this job, but I am 99% sure they’re looking for a more polished and slick PR professional, which I am not and have no desire to be. The job is in education and I’d love to do it, but, well, we’ll see. I really would like to have the freedom to go to the beach as much as I want this summer. Life is short.

    3/27 –17,254 steps yesterday

    3/28 – 10,463 steps yesterday

    3/29 – 199.4 – 10,296 steps yesterday. Well, my phone died while we were out walking, so actually about 5,000 more steps than that. Got my first vaccination Friday and haven’t been 100% since then. I’ve decided I don’t want the marketing job. The vibe was weird with the people there and I feel pretty sure it is a toxic environment. That’s not to say any other job wouldn’t be, but I am not feeling it. I’m not finishing the process. I already wasted too much time on it. I want to give my brain and heart to something more worthwhile. I’m going all in for teaching. I need to rant a little bit because I don’t know what the hell is going on with me right now. In November I totaled my 2017 Subaru and have been driving my old 2006 since then, but haven’t felt safe (steering felt off but alignment, etc. didn’t fix it). Finally last week the clutch started giving out, so I brought it in and they replaced the clutch, flywheel, and the axles, which were totally destroyed. It was good to find out that the weirdness with steering wasn’t my imagination, but now I’ve put more than $4,000 into this car since I started driving it again (new snow tires, windshield, maintenance, etc.), which I wanted to avoid. So, car failure. Fixed. At the same time this was happening, my phone – whose battery hasn’t held a charge right for more than a year – stopped connecting to the cellular network. It won’t update; or it does, but still won’t connect. So I’ve had no ability to use my phone’s cellular data since last Wednesday. Bringing it in today. Friday my sewer mainline backed up. For those who haven’t had the pleasure, this means that sewage comes up through your lowest drains, typically bathtubs and showers. I’m trying to clear this myself but so far no luck. Also having WiFi issues. I know I’m really lucky in a lot of ways, but it just seems so odd that we’ve got the car, plumbing, and phone going haywire all at once. Also super fat right now. No excuse. I know, I know. Haven’t been able to do much cooking with no ability to drain water. Ate pretty badly yesterday. Rant over. Need to get to work and prepare for a fun, fun, fun appointment at the Apple Genius bar. Boyfriend and I are both vaccinated now and have appointments for our second dose. We have made it through this year without contracting COVID or completely losing our minds – so far. Just a few more weeks and we will feel safer. Really hoping we can make it through the next few weeks and beyond without getting sick. Going to go to the bathroom in a bucket now.

    03/29 - 146.8
    03/30 - 145.7 - Creeping on down. My body is really holding on to this increase. I know some of it is my muscles. I did do another kickboxing workout yesterday and I'm not as sore as yesterday, but I still feel a bit of it. Today I will aim for some yoga if I can manage to squeeze it in. Fasted 19.5hrs, ~95oz water. Going to really focus today and tomorrow to see if I can drop 0.8lb to reach my 144.x goal.

    Previous Day's Comments
    03/23 - I'll follow suit, then. TOM is coming and I am bloaaaaated. Fasted 18hr yesterday (made some homemade biscuits for biscuits and gravy for the first time). Then made some cheesy cheddar ranch pasta for dinner. Way too cheesy, need to adjust the recipe. 90oz water, or a little more.
    03/24 - I measured myself real quick, all my measurements are the same, the weight is just up (TOM). That makes me feel a whole lot better and explains why I needed a new hole in my belt. Fasted 16.5hr and 90oz water. FamHub's birthday yesterday so we had seafood (made at home) and I imagine the salt isn't helping, either. Also, I have a date in mind. 12 weeks. That allows a 1lb per week loss to hit the upper-limit of my maintenance goal (I updated my UGW to a weight range). It also coincides with my BF and Godson's bdays (day after each other) and Father's Day weekend (we usually have something bigger planned since 3 events fall on same weekend) so it gives me a solid event, not just arbitrary date.
    03/25 - That would be the homemade chinese food last night and TOM still hanging around. Fasted 16hrs, drank 95oz water. Outside of not eating dinner with everyone else (feels super rude), I don't know what else to do. Hopefully tonight's dinner is lighter and easier on my body. Aiming for 17hr fast today. Also going to keep pushing water. I start off so good in the morning and it tapers off by afternoon. Need to figure something out. Maybe adding in a tea bag for flavoring? Maybe some lemon juice? If y'all have any good ideas that are super quick (just pop it in my cup), let me know!
    03/26 - I'm now wondering if yesterday was a false high. My scale said 152 this morning and I decided there is absolutely no way possible it could be right. Stepped on 2 more times and its 146.6. Why is my scale being so wonky lately?! Note to self: step on 2-3 times to make sure first reading isn't false high. I feel a lot better. Had last minute pork tacos last night with Fam. I made taco salad and inspired FamWife to do the same. Fasted 17.5hr, 105oz water.
    I'm going to vent because it helps me think: Just found that my old "gym" has online workouts now! 9Round is a boxing/kickboxing 30 minute workout. Show up whenever and jump in. I've done 2-a-days there, before no issue before I moved. Loved it so much. Closest one is now 45 minutes away and work schedule doesn't accommodate it. It was $70/month in person. Online workouts are $20. I'm really really heavily debating it. The hardest part is I LOVED bag work and sparring but online only includes shadow boxing (which is good, no place for a bag or two in this house). Might do the 7 day trial. I'm not entirely sure yet.
    03/27 - I really don't know. I stepped on the scale 4 times and all 4 were the same. Going to keep chugging along. Bodies are weird and do crazy things I suppose
    03/28 - BF and I battled for the bathroom so didn't have a chance to weigh. Needed to start my water intake and decided no weigh in isn't the end of the world. Signed up for 9Round Online. That introductory workout KICKED MY BUTT. It used to be so much easier... oof. Only fasted 15hrs because of it and unfortunately, it was mostly carb ): Did get over 90oz water, just not sure how much more. We went out to dinner (last minute) and the place was out of salmon. So I got what I thought was grilled chicken... nope, fried. Luckily, I got double veg as my side and I filled up on that with only a few bites of chicken. Can't tell if I'm feeling extra bloated from food or if its the bloated feeling I get when I'm super sore. Either way, stretching and water today and hopefully it won't matter what caused it! I know what to do and I'm determined to get there.
    03/29 - That's a much nicer number to see. I wish it was lower, but I'll take it. I look much slimmer and less bloated than the last few days and I think I hyped the look up and the scale didn't deliver. Oh well. Still dealing with DOMS, particularly in my legs which may account for a bit of water weight. Fasted 15hrs and drank 100oz water. Today I should have a longer fasting day since dinner was finished quite early. Will try to squeeze in a workout with my 9Round (still on trial period, want to see if I can stick it out without bags to beat up). I also need to be aware that if I continue working out like this, I need to pay more and more attention to measurements and how I look/how clothes feel than my weight. I'll probably be putting back on a bit of muscle and that will skew the scale.

    03/06 - 9,941

    03/09 - 4,999 Not sure if my watch and phone didn't sync? Swore I was over 5k haha oops
    03/10 - 6,258
    03/11 - 4,938 Once again, I think my watch didn't sync correct because I definitely remember it being way closer to 5000 before I even got up from the couch to do my nightly routine. Oh well.
    03/12 - 5,726
    03/13 - 5,197 Unfortunately my running of errands consisted of more driving around than anything... Today will make up for it

    03/16 - 5,155

    03/22 - 4,865 My back hurt so bad around my fusion site all day yesterday. Mostly sat with heat. I wanted to get up and pace the house to meet my goal, but I couldn't manage it. Today seems a tad better-- I could get out of bed without major pain or issue.
    03/23 - 7,587 Whoo! I paced the house in the morning to hit 1,000 steps by 9am and then we walked the land to plant sunflower seeds. If today's weather holds, I may try to venture out for a walk.
    03/24 - 6,657
    03/25 - 6,363
    03/26 - 10,532
    03/27 - 10,518 - I'm on a roll with these 10k numbers! Only 2,500 from my workout, too. Rest was ALL ME thinking and moving when I otherwise wouldn't
    03/28 - 4,795 - The soreness.... oh DOMS I really dislike you sometimes
    03/29 - 7,256
