2: 202.5 I'm up 12 lbs from my lowest weight that I reached in January 2020. Considering the absolute insanity of the last year or so, I am beyond thrilled that it isn't more! I'm so, so ready to reach the 175 range, which is what I weighed before I got pregnant with my first child 20 years ago. I'm giving myself some time to ease back into 100% primal eating. Some days might be 100%, and others might be 60%, but as long as I'm making overall progress, I'm happy with that. I've gotten into some bad carb habits over the last year, which is also why I'm surprised I haven't put on more weight. I started walking a few times a week most weeks about 4 months ago, but now that I'm doing a fascia recovery program I need to switch to no-impact exercises. Hopped on an elliptical yesterday and was shocked to make it 40 minutes because I find it so much more challenging than even a brisk walk. I'd like to add some rowing in, as well, and hopefully some weight training in the near future as I progress with this fascia program I'm following. I'm glad to be back with all of you and happy to see so many familiar faces!
3: 203.4 Rest day yesterday, plus calories were closer to maintenance. I expect to be down again tomorrow.
4: 203.4 Forgot to post because if the holiday.
5: 203.3 🥚After not weighing in daily for so long, I had forgotten that ovulating spikes my weight for a few days. Rest day and holiday didn't help, though I didn't do terribly either day. We'll see what tomorrow brings, but I'm not stressing. Heading to the gym for an elliptical session shortly, to be followed by my first full body fascia blasting.

R145 Goals-166, limit alcohol, lots of water. I’m glad to be here with all of you! 🌸☕️ Karen

4/2-DNW-I bought a horse that lives 20 min. from me. It takes me 2-3 hr. round trip to go see him and work with him. Now that it’s getting hot, I am going to have a more rigid schedule of horse in A.M. and bike/walking/sewing in afternoon.
Our adult boys will be here for a few days. I will be back Monday morning.
Have a Happy Easter everyone!💚
4/5-172-So much good food yesterday. Time with family was wonderful.. Back to reality now!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/01 …..207.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/02 …..207.6 ….. Holding my own but I had hoped for a little progress. A cold but beautiful day here. Taking two of the grands for their haircuts and lunch. Full hands today means less steps likely but I will watch my diet.

04/03 …..208.6 ….. Meals weren’t too bad but I did have grilled cheese for dinner as it was a busy day and it’s fast to make. Sodium perhaps? I am, however, beginning to think I may be lactose intolerant and that cheese greatly affects me. That is a nightmare on the diets I prefer to follow for my weight AND my diabetes. I also seem to bloat and gain unreasonably if I’ve had a glass of milk the day before (unless it’s Fairlife Milk). I’m going to pay close attention….. Are we still doing the steps challenge BTW?

04/04 …..207.6 ….. Back down to that comfortable number my body seems to like to hover on. Progress coming soon I hope. Almost 24,000 steps yesterday and over 10 miles. That was just working in the yard! Happy Easter everyone!

04/05 …..206.6 ….. I keep landing on the point 6 lol. Anyway, I’m happy to be down another pound. We did not have an Easter dinner yesterday due to all the construction in my home. Sad to not spend time with my kids and grands but they had more time with the other side of their families so I guess that was good. Daughter is back home with BF after we had a small quibble the other day. Nothing that would otherwise keep us apart but still feeling bad about it. I hope to continue on my good trend with my scale and body fat % losses. All these steps are helping with the leave burning. Another over 20,000 steps yesterday and over 9 miles. My elbow is killing me but my feet and legs say yay!

Round 146
02 April - 10 April 2021

Please join us! Starting on 04/02 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 146
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Low carb

Round 146

Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 124.8
GW: 125

GW for this round: 123-125

Round 140 (15): 128.8 to 127.4 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 141 (16): 127.4 to 128.2 (+0.8 lbs)
Round 142 (17): 128.2 to 125.8 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 143 (18): 125.8 to 124.4 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 144 (19): 124.4 to 124.8 (+0.4 lbs)
Round 145 (20): 124.8 to 124.0 (-0.8 lbs)

Goals for this round:

- Maintain between 123 and 125
- Begin following 10 week strength training program (and keep up with it!)

Still sticking around, as long as you guys will have me. 😂. Continuing to try and get into a maintenance mindset rather than a weight loss mindset. There is Easter, my husband’s birthday and a friend’s birthday for me this round, so I will be happy to end it around the same weight as I’m starting it.

4/2 - 125 - High, but I had popcorn last night as my husband and I finished the last 3 episodes of a season we’ve been watching. I also made lemon ricotta cookies with the kids and again, ate too many of them. I think I need to switch our baking to cakes and pies - when we make something with individual portions I eat way too many. Its much easier to control myself when I have to serve out the pieces.

4/3 - DNW
4/4 - DNW

4/5 - 126.4 - Two days of parties, birthday cakes and Easter dinner will definitely have an impact. Its been crazy busy this past weekend; I didn’t even have time to weigh the past two mornings - on Saturday it was my friend’s 2-year old son’s birthday and I made the cake for them - so plenty of tasting and decorating, plus the dinner at the little party (just us and them). Then yesterday was Easter - lots of candy, Easter dinner of ham, potatoes, asparagus, rolls - and it was my husband’s birthday, so I made him a cake and let the kids decorate it. I’m surprised I’m only up 2-3 lbs! Let’s see how it settles out over the next few days. I also started a new strength training program this morning- Caroline Girvan’s EPIC Heat series. It started with leg day and it was a serious workout! I can’t wait to keep going with it.

Female age 62 5' 4” - Challenge for this round; maintenance – get back to and stay at or >130 Get back to good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – I've had my first, spread positivity and encouragement for it to others.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to acheive my under 130 target; back to mainanence again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

04/01 132 – 12.89 miles walked yesterday, kept well in food calories & macros; pleased to say I'm back on track. Not sure if anyone is thinking of a challenge for April, but mine is to stay within calories for the whole of the month, that only 30 days and 3 rounds after all, I should be able to give that a really good go!

Day/Weight/Comment

04/02 132 - Car drive for just over an hour yesterday to meet up with DD & 2 little DGS; so excited to be able to see each other for the first time since Christmas Day. We had a wonderful time, managed only 5.63 miles walking, which means that I did not have any additional exercise calories and therefor my challenge to stay within calories & macros has failed on the very first day, was I the April Fool? Well, I've got the rest of the month to make a difference, it was such precious time spent with them all; DGS have both grown and developed so much, aged just over 1 and 3 in the many months we have been forced to not see them we have missed so much !! Now that we are allowed we are going to make up for missed time!! Seeing them again on both Saturday & Sunday together with DH! Also seeing DS, DIL & DGD! Lots of travelling as staying away overnight is not yet allowed, but who cares, family time is precious!!

04/03 131 – 12.89 miles walked and food within calories & macros.
04/04 132 - Only 4.85 miles walked so no exercise calories and therefore over on calories & macros, but I can make up for it later on in the week. Had an amazing day with the family yesterday and the sun came out too, take two today!! Family time is even more precious than ever x.
04/05 133 – Only 2.88 miles walked yesterday; another absolutely wonderful day with my family, cracking down today for the rest of the week/round.
04/06 132 – 12.6 miles walked yesterday with DH in the lovely spring sunshine but with a keen cool wind, less than a quarter of exercise calories eaten back. A very good day food wise & feeling back on track.

Day/Weight/Comment

04/02- 214lb. Bad few days, feeling ready to go again today. Meals all logged for today, lots of water and exercise. Going to have a very healthy 10 days. I’m on Easter break now, so exercise will go through the roof!
04/03- 213.4lb. Back on it yesterday and I already feel better. Trying to keep up my water consumption and my alcohol consumption down will be hard over this Easter break. I’m just agonising over which gym to join, crossfit gym (which is superb but limited by class timings) or my local council gym which is full of cardio machines, but hardly any weight areas.
04/04- 211.6lb. Decent loss on the scales this morning. Loads of exercise this weekend. Feel very positive.
04/05- 212.6lb. High sodium dinner last night. Long bank holiday walk this morning, going to shoot for 10 miles. Trying a new veggie recipe today which sounds amazing- not sure my partner agrees though.
04/06- 212.2lb. Stomach feels bloated this morning. Had a great veggie meal yesterday which my partner loved- she didn’t even mention the lack of meat! Just joined a gym ready for them being allowed to reopen on 12th April. Feeling motivated to smash through my goals at the moment.

Increase daily steps to 8000

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

March focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

Aims:

2021 Focus:

• Maintain weight < 150
• Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
• Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
• Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy

[/color]
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:

• 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
• 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
• 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
• That's a WIN in my book!
  
• 2021
• Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
  
• (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

04/02 171.2 Going to continue to try to get better at tracking my food and just focus on that.
04/03 170.6 Did well with tracking and got in an exercise bike workout and lots of steps, too. Hope to plant in my garden today. I usually plant on Good Friday, but it was supposed to be 27 degrees last night, so it had to wait another day. Excited to get tomato plants etc in the ground today!
04/04 172 Easter Candy! It’ll come back down—maybe not tomorrow, but soon.
04/05 DNW
04/06 173.8 Easter (in person at church-YAY!) and all its goodies followed by the first team luncheon at work since Covid which was both delicious and fun! Gosh, the last two days have almost felt “normal!” I have gotten my garden planted over the last few days, so I’m excited about the fresh vegetables to come, unless the rabbits get them, LOL. Back on track today with food and work on water to flush out some of the salt from yesterday’s lunch!

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Female, 5’3”, 60

2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2020 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.

🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
4/2 207.3 Walked 3.8 + .7 miles, plank, gardening, 1700 cal, 29 net carbs, AF. New month new day … time to refocus and get back into better habits to support my weight loss journey.
4/3 207.4 Walked 2.4 miles, plank, gardening, 2281 cal, 126 net carbs, 3 glasses of wine. Whatburger fish sandwich & fries for lunch and then chicken & shrimp paella for dinner. Too much ice cream & wine but lots of water.
4/4 207.2 Walked 2 miles, plank, gardened, 2146 cal, 67 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not enough water. Chipotle salad for lunch and my garlic cauliflower mushroom skillet at dinner had more calories and carbs than I expected. Progress … it is the little things - Cleaned clothes out of my closet again
4/5 207.4 Walked 1.4 + 2.4 miles, gardened, 1268 cal, 46 net carbs, AF. Low key Easter … just what I wanted to destress my life.

I DID take measurements, though, since it was such a weight jump. Either all the same or slightly (1/8th inch or so) smaller, which is a good sign. Scale isn't always the best way to track progress! Tracked calories yesterday and did have some weak moments but all in all, I didn't do too bad. I did manage to convince my sleepy self to work out and pushed harder than I thought I could manage. Weight could be DOMS (: Fasted 18.5hrs, 90oz water down the hatch. Still chuggin' along!

Previous Day's Comments

04/02 - I was scared to weigh today. We were up until 1am because we went and got me a motorcycle (we couldn't today or tomorrow and Sunday questionable so we sacrificed last night). Friend of friend is in school with GI Bill. Truck got totaled. Needed to sell what he could to save up for truck+insurance payout. I needed a bike that was good for me (BF's first bike fits me, but it is a bit too aggressive for me and I'm scared to ride it). Boom, a win-win. And his first bike is now with someone he can check in on (: We sold jetskis Sunday and BF had saved up some cash so we had it on hand. Whee!! Fasted 16hrs, 100oz water. Food was NOT very good yesterday and dinner was quite heavy as FamHub made it for us to try (I've had something similar, BF had not). If I'm able to squeeze in my 9Round today, it'll be tight in the afternoon. I have my 1 month PRK follow up today in town and with traffic, it's an hour and a half drive each way. Will try my best, but I'm not going to overwork myself after so little sleep. Hopefully I can behave enough today that yesterday's madness won't show on the scale in the coming days. Damage control mode: ON
04/03 - Happy Countdown Day (4.3.21). Might as well be silly and fun (: It's rainy and gloomy here. I didn't track fasting or water yesterday, I was all over the place and it was impractical. I AM really shocked at a loss. I definitely expected a gain. First weigh in was 149 and it didn't seem too unrealistic. Stepped on 2 more times just in case and got 145.3 both times. THAT seemed more unrealistic haha I did NOT get my workout it, simply not enough time to squeeze it in. But I haven't cancelled my subscription (had to do that before midnight) so I'll have it at least another month.
04/04 - Expected. Things catching up to me. Yesterday was madness, all over the place. Woke up with no plans. It was really rainy and gloomy so we decided to get out of the house and go to San Antonio. Got some hunting clothes for next season really cheap, stopped by for some food (mmm burger, that did me in though) and then SURPRISE. Crawfish boil/2 year old birthday party. Luckily the rain had stopped and it was outside so we were able to stay socially distanced and still enjoy. (@quiltingjaine I've noticed crawfish ALWAYS means a gain the next day. Not sure if its sodium or my body's natural reaction to it... Another note, my scale decided, initially, I was weighing in at 158.7... weighed two more times for 147.5. I'm getting a new scale next paycheck for sure. THAT is the biggest "gain" my scale tried to throw at me)
04/05 - Easter dinner. Fasted 15.5hrs, not sure water (not enough). Slept like absolute crap last night and woke up at 4am. Will do my best to get my workout in, even if I don't go 100%, something is better than nothing. Dinner was early so should be fairly easy to fast 16+hrs today. Already working on my water. I WILL bounce back. I have a goal and a goal date approaching way too fast.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

There is a certain amount of shame that goes with posting numbers like this, but I am here to be open and honest. This is a combo of low TMI and high TMS (too much salt.) And high TMF (food.) I had a fantastic weekend!

Day, Weight, Comment

4/02 – 198 – 10,268 steps yesterday. Focus today on eating mindfully.

4/03 – 197.4 – 20,114 steps, 30 min aerobics yesterday.

4/04 – 198 – 14,251 steps yesterday. Fasting today.

4/05 – 195.4 – 10,627 steps yesterday. Fasted, so I expect to see a little bump up tomorrow. This is my lowest recorded weight for this year, which I also have logged on March 25. Really want to capture this momentum and stick around or under 195. Hoping I can get back on track to reach goal of starting May at 180-185, but that is feeling pretty out of reach at this point. I’m guessing I’ll recalibrate those larger goals at the end of the month, but I’ll keep trying! Focus on just keeping these three pounds off for now. Eat well today, move a lot, clean the house, make a good dinner, enjoy the day. BF woke up in the night Saturday with a swollen, painful ankle and took a muscle relaxer. He slept almost all day yesterday, which is something he NEVER does. He is always active and gets lots of sports injuries he never complains about. Fingers crossed that it was just a reaction to the muscle relaxer and not a symptom of something more serious. He’s taken one before and not slept like this, though.

4/06 – 196.4 – 13,211 steps, 30 min aerobics yesterday. BF seems to be better. Pleased that weight is still relatively close to 195 today. Focus on keeping the momentum going with good food choices today.

I’m determined to make this my back-on-track breakthrough round & month. Off to a good start. Thanks to all on this lovely group for being here.

1/3 - 184.2 - 1449
What??? How can that be? Maybe sodium in the chicken casserole DH made for dinner. Happily, we have no Easter candy in the house and I’m resisting the urge to bake hot cross buns. Maybe I’ll color a couple of hard boiled eggs. 🌷🐇 Have a satisfying Saturday, all!

1/4 - 184 - 1264
Happy to say my 7-day calorie average is now below my goal, and I fully intend to keep it there. I’d really like to get out of the 80s this month. And now I’m heading out to the garden to begin cutting back last summer’s leavings to make way for the new. This is my friend Clover talking to me last summer. We wish you a Happy Easter, happy day!

1/5 - 184 - 1419
Rats. I’d hoped to be down a bit. But I’ve been hitting my goal, so there’s that!

1/6 - 184 - 1514
Aww, come on. I’m hoping this means I’ll have a big whoosh sometime (soon!), but it’s very discouraging. Otoh, we have a lovely warm day coming up and I’m heading into the garden. And our new gazebo is up! I love it! Stay tuned for flowers. 🌼

This is my 10th round of 2021, and my New Year resolution was to get at least 30 under my belt...I am a 52 year old woman with progressive MS and poor mobility, so it makes it difficult to lose weight. BUT I am getting weight off slowly but steadily.

Start weight (31 August 2020): 349.2 lbs
Start weight for 146 challenge: 310.6bs
Aim for 11 April 2021 (end of 145 challenge): 307.9 lbs

04/02: 310.6 lbs first day of the new challenge and I am 310.6 lbs - I've been this weight for days now, what's the story? Never mind, I'll take it!
04/03: 310.6 lbs - sigh, still on this weight. And it's Easter weekend too...
04/04: 309.1 lbs - woot!

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Anybody here use a Withings scale? I just bought the Body+ model. It looks like it has everything my current (wonky) scale has, plus bluetooth/wifi automatic tracking (And it syncs with Fitbit! That's one less manual step to take, yippee!).

Just curious about it. Should be here tomorrow. I know my scale's body fat percentage wasn't accurate, but it did stay consistent and that's my biggest concern -- it doesn't have to be accurate, per se, but I'd like consistency so I can see trends.

Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 124.8
GW: 125

GW for this round: 123-125

Round 140 (15): 128.8 to 127.4 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 141 (16): 127.4 to 128.2 (+0.8 lbs)
Round 142 (17): 128.2 to 125.8 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 143 (18): 125.8 to 124.4 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 144 (19): 124.4 to 124.8 (+0.4 lbs)
Round 145 (20): 124.8 to 124.0 (-0.8 lbs)

Goals for this round:

- Maintain between 123 and 125
- Begin following 10 week strength training program (and keep up with it!)

Still sticking around, as long as you guys will have me. 😂. Continuing to try and get into a maintenance mindset rather than a weight loss mindset. There is Easter, my husband’s birthday and a friend’s birthday for me this round, so I will be happy to end it around the same weight as I’m starting it.

4/2 - 125 - High, but I had popcorn last night as my husband and I finished the last 3 episodes of a season we’ve been watching. I also made lemon ricotta cookies with the kids and again, ate too many of them. I think I need to switch our baking to cakes and pies - when we make something with individual portions I eat way too many. Its much easier to control myself when I have to serve out the pieces.

4/3 - DNW
4/4 - DNW
4/5 - 126.4 - Two days of parties, birthday cakes and Easter dinner will definitely have an impact. Its been crazy busy this past weekend; I didn’t even have time to weigh the past two mornings - on Saturday it was my friend’s 2-year old son’s birthday and I made the cake for them - so plenty of tasting and decorating, plus the dinner at the little party (just us and them). Then yesterday was Easter - lots of candy, Easter dinner of ham, potatoes, asparagus, rolls - and it was my husband’s birthday, so I made him a cake and let the kids decorate it. I’m surprised I’m only up 2-3 lbs! Let’s see how it settles out over the next few days. I also started a new strength training program this morning- Caroline Girvan’s EPIC Heat series. It started with leg day and it was a serious workout! I can’t wait to keep going with it.

4/6 - 126.2 - I’m just going to expect the scale to stay around 125 - 128 for awhile as I adjust to these new workouts. Plus it’s tough to regain a calorie deficit with cake and lots of Easter candy still in the house. I’m at a healthy weight - now it’s about toning and getting stronger. As long as I’m not pushing 130 I won’t worry.

04/02 194.4 Had I hard time controlling the need for a snack. I was at grocery store at 930pm and put too many snack in my bag. Never easy to shop and avoid late night snacking, while you a little hungry. I let myself indulge a bit but not too much. Tonight going for hibachi dinner, so today is hardboiled egg and avocado, crumbled 1 slice of bacon for breakfast and tuna salad (with avocado) on lettuce wraps for lunch. A very good start for calories today.
04/03 193.3 Not too bad yesterday but still too much junk in my house. My biggest snack was a Dried cranberry, raisin, cherry with almonds combo.
04/04 194.2 Easter Sunday large brunch way too food, lots of jelly beans and a ham. I expect to see a rise. The sodium alone was probably double my recommended amount. I did not log during the weekend.
04/05 198.2 4lb in 24 hours is impressive to say the least. However it did inspire me to chop up that ham and throw a good portion of it away. I also got some of the jelly beans out of my house. Plus my fitbit and Myfitnesspal are not syncing. Not in either direction. Very frustrating.
04/06 195.5 That is something to celebrate. I threw away the sugar cookies this morning. The kids have plenty of sugar in the house. Things are still not syncing.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/01 …..207.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/02 …..207.6 ….. Holding my own but I had hoped for a little progress. A cold but beautiful day here. Taking two of the grands for their haircuts and lunch. Full hands today means less steps likely but I will watch my diet.

04/03 …..208.6 ….. Meals weren’t too bad but I did have grilled cheese for dinner as it was a busy day and it’s fast to make. Sodium perhaps? I am, however, beginning to think I may be lactose intolerant and that cheese greatly affects me. That is a nightmare on the diets I prefer to follow for my weight AND my diabetes. I also seem to bloat and gain unreasonably if I’ve had a glass of milk the day before (unless it’s Fairlife Milk). I’m going to pay close attention….. Are we still doing the steps challenge BTW?

04/04 …..207.6 ….. Back down to that comfortable number my body seems to like to hover on. Progress coming soon I hope. Almost 24,000 steps yesterday and over 10 miles. That was just working in the yard! Happy Easter everyone!

04/05 …..206.6 ….. I keep landing on the point 6 lol. Anyway, I’m happy to be down another pound. We did not have an Easter dinner yesterday due to all the construction in my home. Sad to not spend time with my kids and grands but they had more time with the other side of their families so I guess that was good. Daughter is back home with BF after we had a small quibble the other day. Nothing that would otherwise keep us apart but still feeling bad about it. I hope to continue on my good trend with my scale and body fat % losses. All these steps are helping with the leave burning. Another over 20,000 steps yesterday and over 9 miles. My elbow is killing me but my feet and legs say yay!

04/06 …..205.6 ….. Another weight ending in point 6. That means another whole pound down so I’ll take it! TMI helps and so does watching the dairy I think. Still experimenting with that. Another 19,000 steps yesterday burning the leaves. Back and forth to the house to keep an eye on the work crew during the reno. Rain for the next 10 days unless the forecast changes. I’ll find a way to stay as active as I can primarily inside.
