Thanks so much for your efforts Jaine! It is greatly appreciated. I did not realize you were posting the thread from your phone. I did not know you could do that. I am sure that is why you are having issues with posting the pictures. There is either too many pictures on your phone or a space issue which will cause issues with posting to any message board. I hope you continue to be part of the group if someone picks it up. I would do it but I work full time and as it is, it is hard for me to find time to keep up with all of the posts and post daily. Thanks again!! It is not you or MFP, it is technology can only do so muchquiltingjaine wrote: »I have Round 181 ready to post but so far it’s a “no go.” I’m truly frustrated with MFP and ready to quit! I quit FB a couple of weeks ago.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8 / 172.6 / Dad is easy company to have in terms of the eating plan because he's diabetic now and watches what he eats. So, no external pressure coming from him to splurge! I have surpassed the 120 pounds lost mark now... less than 5 pounds to go until I hit normal BMI!!!!
3/9 / 171.2 / Did a soul crushingly difficult Power Zone ride on the Peloton this morning and a walk in the chilly temps at lunch. Supper out with coworkers tonight to celebrate birthdays. It's share plates so we'll see what I end up with!
3/10 / 170.6 / Share plate supper went well.. good variety and we didn't overeat. Off work today to spend time with my dad and brother. My husband is cooking a big rib dinner for company tonight but I've got my plan in place.
3/11 / 170.8 / I had intended to ride the Peloton today but I ended up busy with other things. Instead, I focused on getting my 10,000 steps which I don't often do. The weather is warming up again which is fantastic. Last weekend my Dad is here so we have some fun planned before he returns home on Monday!
3/12 / 169.8 / Touching my goal weight decade!! I am now less than 2 pounds away from my original goal weight target of 125 pounds lost. It's hard to believe some days!! Off to Banff with the family tonight for a special light show event on the mountain.
3/13 / 170.6 / Fabulous overnight in Banff. Walked into town and back from our hotel twice. Didn't overeat at the buffet. Nice memories with family.
3/14 / 171.8 / Got dad on his plane back home today. Feels quiet around the house. Both hubby and I feel tired from entertaining for 10 days. It was a great visit. Back to business as usual around here for the next two weeks but our weeks after that will be full of different things.

Round 180 ( my 112th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Need to knuckle down now and make each round count, DS's wedding is later this spring & I want to feel happy with myself on the day. Aim this round to be lower than the start, but a pound would be nice, concentrate on good food choices & think before I put anything in my mouth!! Also eat only half daily exercise calories back.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 achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8 138.4 – 14.19 miles walked, just a quarter of exercise calories eaten back. A good solid start yesterday, need to keep it up. Feeling happier with my actions.
3/9 137.8 – tentatively being pleased with this, if I can maintain this to the end of the round I will be well pleased ! But not relaxing! 9 miles walked yesterday, less than 50% of exercise calories eaten back, but carbs 60g over; lunch at DS's whilst helping her with wallpapering.
3/10 138.8 – are the scales playing with me? 10.56 miles, just over half calories eaten back, all macros in credit.
3/11 140 – 4.62 miles, met with DD & little DGS, went out to lunch.
3/12 138.8 - 6.82 miles, had to cut it short cuz of rain?. Away in our caravan for the weekend, more motivated this week; hence brought scales with me. Pleased to see the "disagree" button has disappeared, I think it was totally unnecessary and down hearting. Have a good weekend everyone.
3/13 137.4 - 14.78 miles walked yesterday, all but 87 calories eaten back.
3/14 137.4 - 10.42 miles walked, all but 84 of exercise calories eaten back.
3/15 137.4 – 10.52 miles. Happy to be consolidating at this weight for a few days before hopefully moving down again. Only just over 100 exercise calories eaten back.

Morning all. Had the doctors call back yesterday afternoon. She was reluctant to give me Orlistat but thankfully she did. I'll pick them up in a few hours and start them. I've also got a two week trial with Noom, then it's £19 a month after so we'll see how it goes. On top of that I'm doing weight watchers too! I need to do this this time round. I'm not going to mess up like i normally do. Please feel free to add me. I'm also near the end of my 12 week challenge Jan-March and will be starting another 12 week challenge. How is it the middle of March already, what the hell! Looking forward to seeing my results. Still weighing in daily for now.

3/15 - 151.8 - Everyone home safe last night. Yesterday was working from home, getting all the beds moved around and getting them ready while also receiving and setting up our new bed (just in time, SD didn't have a bed as we were using hers until ours arrived. Talk about timing. New bed = best sleep I've had in a long long long while.) Washing all the sheets and such. Whew. Back to commuting today but at least I have my car so gas mileage isn't so horrendous and my wallet doesn't hurt AS bad. As for weight.... TOM decided to come early and then I was short on water Friday and Saturday. Yesterday I got enough, but that's rehydration/TOM bloat/stress increases right there. Back to routine and arrival of TOM /should/ start a decrease in the next couple days. Not much else going on to report.

Previous Day's Comments3/08 - I was dead tired last night. Didn't eat snacks, just my chicken fajitas, roasted sweet potato, and pear (dessert). ALMOST enough water, but not quite. Adjustment period, still hit 1/2 bodyweight in oz which is my minimum goal. Definitely got some walking in, moreso than normal. Wasn't quite happy to realize when my alarm went off its only Tuesday and I can't sleep in until Friday, though haha! It's not the worst plant I could be at, for sure. Fairly quiet most times. Coming to end of life so it's also just a matter of keep it running until it's retirement date. Homemade chicken alfredo for dinner last night with leftovers for lunch along with my sweet half a sweet potato and a pear. Same snacks on hand if I need. Will focus a bit more on water today if possible.
3/09 - Must be cheese from smothered burritos last night. Have leftover stuff to make burrito for lunch but I may not smother it like last night. Got all my water in (replaced about 8oz of regular water with aloe juice because it makes me happy and changes things up a bit for me). All in all 82oz regular water which is still above minimum goal. Plenty of walking and movement compared to WFH. No dedicated workouts, though. I'll slowly seep those back into my schedule once I adjust a bit more. Sleep is still adjusting and no need to exhaust myself any further at this point.
3/10 - Bloating from, what I'm assuming, is cheese. I was burping up a storm yesterday and I'm sure that hasn't gotten completely out of my system yet haha! Last night was steak and rice and veggies so that's also today's lunch. Tomorrow I can sleep in. Saturday BF and BigBro go get LittleBro and Sis. They'll be back Monday as they're stopping at Papa's house to get BigBro's truck and tow it down here. We should be getting our new bed Monday, as well. Hoping this weekend I can get some stuff done around the house, particularly in what will be my garden.

3/13 - Sorry for the absences. Been busy trying to run all my errands. Yesterday BF and BigBro left to Oklahoma to get the other two kids (successfully) and spend time with his dad. The truck he was getting will not fit in the uhaul trailer, but he found another car for me to use for work instead. It was his grandpa's car (passed last summer) and this relative of his (he didn't say) needs to sell it for her vet bills. Gives him a chance to bring SOMETHING home that still benefits us. And, honestly, it puts a small financial strain on us right now (not near what it would otherwise be) but it saves us inflated used car prices since we were already looking at another vehicle for me to commute with which we were going to do in the next couple months anyway. PLUS it saves BigBro from having to pay crazy diesel prices to go to/from school with the initially intended truck and we can decide who uses what vehicle (impala vs corolla) to commute and me from having to pay extra to drive the jeep. Either way, BigBro gets a vehicle to commute and I simultaneously get one with better gas mileage until I can find another job. And even if I get a work from home job, the car can be saved for next year when SD (step daughter) is 16 and needs a vehicle around here. LittleBro is several years off from being of driving age so we can figure that out later. Lots of crazy things going on this weekend. Tomorrow I'm working from home so we can get our bed (someone has to be here for signature and setup) and BF/kids will be home tomorrow night. Then only 3 days of commuting (I'll use corolla while BF does registration stuff) since BigBro on spring break.

3.9 - 157.9 Went for 2.5 mile jog along the beach in the morning. Ate within calories.

3.11 - 159.2 Not happy about this jump, though I do know yesterday wasn't the best day. Also, I ate teriyaki salmon last night, and I usually post a gain after eating teriyaki. Went for a short jog this morning.
3.12 159.2
3.13 159.8 Really wasn't happy about this jump. Ate a delish falafel sandwich at a falafel restaurant the night before.

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.

Glad for a clean slate with this new 10-day. Going to try to quit cheating on you all. (don’t take it personally Ha!) If you are going to give me ten days, I want to be a better steward of them.

This is an odd up-tick. Yesterday was below calories without eating back any of my big exercise calorie burn. Oh well, the body does what it does.

OK. I have this figured out, at least partially. I have had a lot of input since Sunday, but no output to speak of. TMI
My food and exercise have been good. Obviously, my diet is missing some key elements.

I am starting to wonder if my scale somehow got jostled or whatever on my Holiday trip away. Before Christmas, I was consistently averaging in the 207-208 range. Now it is the 213-214 range without a big difference in my daily life. Of course, I earned the 5 pound bump over the holiday, but I usually recover from bumps.
Or, maybe I should quit blaming the scale and figure out what the real problem is. 😊

Previous days3/15 122.6 Went to the gym this morning and ran 5ish miles on the treadmill which felt good after my Sunday race. Food was a bit over yesterday but didn’t feel excessive. This morning I made my oat bran hot cereal and normally I would have fruit with it but I was so full after the cereal that I put the orange back in the fridge to have later. I highly recommend oat bran cereal if you want to mix up your oatmeal game. I’m looking forward to Saturday because I’m going to one of my friend’s house to hang out and make apple sauce (I have an abundance of apples again). I haven’t seen her in person in almost a year, so it should be really fun to catch up!
3/8 122 Happy to see this stick for another day in a row. I’m hoping to be down another pound by the end of this round or at least less than 122. Ran outside for the first time in over month this morning and it felt really good. I got 5.73 miles done in a nice steady 62 minutes. I didn’t want to push it too much because I have my 5 mile race coming up on Sunday. Planning to do strength tomorrow morning with cardio intervals afterwards. Had oatbran hot cereal again for breakfast with strawberries and a little of my protein drink added to it. I’m loving it right now and it’s so filling! Lunch will be turkey chorizo tacos and dinner will be chicken thighs with acorn squash. Happy Tuesday everyone!
3/9 122.8 Woke up with my watch feeling tighter this morning which also translated on the scale with the bump up too. Did my strength workout this morning and it felt good. I went up in my split squat another 10 pounds and my single leg Romanian dumbbell deadlifts bumped up from 25lbs in each hand to 27.5lbs. I’m enjoying the strength training a lot because it makes me care a little less about the water weight fluctuations because I know at least I’m getting stronger and the weight will slowly melt off in time.
Breakfast: oat bran hot cereal with protein shake and sliced strawberries. Lunch: leftover turkey chorizo tacos, Dinner: roasted chicken thighs with potatoes or carrots.
3/10 122.4 Did some cardio on the bike and elliptical this morning and planning to do a slow run this afternoon. I’m going out to dinner tonight for Thai with a colleague/mentor to catch up on life and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m planning to get their grilled marinated chicken with veggies, sticky rice and peanut sauce. Yumm!
Breakfast was the hot oat bran cereal with strawberries and some protein shake stirred into it plus the extra on the side. Lunch with be fiber gourmet crackers, kohlrabi, bell peppers and a cup of plain Skyr turned into a dip with some onion and garlic seasoning.
Happy Thursday!
3/11 123.4 preworkout 121.6 post workout. Got an hour of cardio in this morning on the elliptical and I’m going to take a rest day tomorrow to prepare for my 5 mile race on Sunday. Dinner last was fun and I didn’t over indulge too much. I ate half my meal and got Thai purple rice pudding for dessert. I felt a bit of water retention this morning but the cardio helped a lot with that as you can see the weight difference from pre and post workout. I had my usual oat bran hot cereal for breakfast, lunch was the Thai grilled chicken with broccoli and sticky rice and dinner will most likely be Trader Joes Paneer Tikka Masala. Happy Friday everyone!
3/12 Did not post or weigh.
3/13 Forgot to weigh. Completed my 5 mile road race today and beat my goal time I had set for myself, so I was super happy. I completed it in 43:56 which was 1:04 faster than goal. 😊 The race went well but the start was really chilly with a “real” feel of the low teens. Then afterwards my friend and I went out for brunch and I got two nice sized pancakes and had a slice of her breakfast pizza. Yumm! I’m not sure what dinner will be tonight but I’m looking forward to something a little lighter. Next on the race agenda will be a 10k in September in Salem, MA. 10k is definitely my max distance for races though. The 2 half marathons I did in the past were just too much on my body. I hope everyone has a good start to their week!
3/14 122.6 My body feels good today even after the intense run yesterday but I’m just really tired because I didn’t sleep well. I ended up going to the gym today and doing strength but instead of intervals afterwards I took it easy with the elliptical and kept my heart rate at an “easy run” blue level on my garmin watch for a half an hour. I hope everyone is adjusting okay with the clocks changing yesterday. I know it takes me a while to adjust.

I went a little crazy last night—cheese & triscuits, cinnamon toast. What? Oh, well, all in all I’m doing better with the snacks, so I won’t beat myself silly over this. Total calories were right around maintenance, so not too bad. But why, I ask myself, why?
3/09 - 178.4
I take it back. I’m not doing better with snacks, at least not last night. I think I’m going to take a close look at what I ate earlier on days I’ve gone crazy at night. I do know that carb-heavy dinners make me want more carbs later. Maybe there’s a really clear pattern I can make myself aware of. But, to paraphrase Scarlet, today’s another day, and I started with a healthy egg, cheese, & Canadian bacon on whole grain muffin breakfast. Much better than that arches place makes!

Still crazy after all these pounds, but drifting toward better.
3/11 - 179.6
Ok, time lag from 2&3 days ago. I was on track yesterday. If I stick to the plan, it will self correct. I have a low-cal, high-protein day planned. All good. Happy Friday!
3/12 - 181
What??? Whatever. Some of it must be H2O. I did have popcorn last night, but not THAT much! Very weird, very discouraging. Harumph. No hugs needed—I’m not upset, just bewildered. Anyway, the next 8 weeks will be very physical. I have Rory signed up for 6 classes (two levels of competition obedience, rally, scent work, agility, and run through for upcoming obedience trial, and I plan to get back to tracking training two days a week (lots of walking) plus regular long walks. And gardening season is coming right up. That should help!
3/13 - 179.6
Not great, but the right direction at least. Yesterday was very cold & windy, but I got out for a short walk. I also finished this commissioned watercolor (below)—so nice to be painting again! It’s been two years. 😕 It’s soup day (still on my soup-a-week routine, which is fun!). Today is Southwest corn and sweet potato, from the Moosewood low-fat cookbook. I’m adding chicken to up the protein. Looking forward to it.

💗 Thirty years? Thirty years! It’s our anniversary! We’ve had some adventures! I feel very lucky to have found a guy who supports whatever I want to do, from houses full of dogs and cats to writing and painting to building gardens and repainting the walls. I’ll try not to go too crazy, but do plan to enjoy a nice celebratory dinner!
3/15 - 179.2
Oh, good! I did have a nice Italian anniversary dinner—spinach lasagna and a house salad from one of our fav restaurants. DH and I split a piece of really luscious cheese cake. But my total calories for the day weren’t bad. Ok, off to doggy school! Maybe I can still break almost even this round.

3/8 😬 182.8 - gotta start somewhere
3/9 😑 181.2 - very pleased but this is what happens all the time. I’ll give it a few days to see if it sticks. Being mindful of my eating & am closing my circles
3/10 😐 180.4 - must say I’m pleased with todays weight. Keeping up with mindful eating & closing my circles. I’m going to try a Zumba YouTube video today 💃🏼
3/11 🙂 180.2 -I’ll take it! Zumba kicked my butt but was a blast!! Now I have to remember not to let the weekend be my weak end
3/12 🤨 180.8 - Grrrrrr! I was so sure I’d break the 3 month yo-yo & hit 179.9. Ate mindfully but couldn’t get my activity in as I tweaked a calf muscle after work. I have 5 more days to hit my goal!!! I WILL DO IT!
3/13 ⏰ 180.4 - Better than yesterday. Weekends are always hard for me but I am staying on track better than in the past. I’ll take that for a win!!
3/14 182.4 😩😠😩😠😩 I shouldn’t be surprised since this is my life the last 3 months! I haven’t eaten over my calories. I’ve closed my circles 6/7 days. I get sooooo discouraged when this happens. I’ll look back on my past week & see if anything jumps out at me. UGH!! I tried so hard this round 😞

59 year old female
5’9” [average frame]
My highest weight ever was 220 (May 2021) -I started Intermitting Fasting last year and went for 8 months but I never really focused on cleaning up my diet. This past Monday, March 7th I started a new meal plan that will allow me to eat clean and stay focused on my goals.
3/8 = 211.2 (down 1.6 from yesterday)
3/9 = 208.2 – I’m feeling really good this morning. I love that the scale is showing the water weight coming off!! I plan to hit the gym midday and do some cardio and light toning exercises.
3/10 = 208.4 – Yesterday was my largest meal consumption since I started this new meal plan. So, I’m not surprised to see a few ounces on the scale this morning. MyFitnessPal was very pleased with my food log from yesterday and told me that I could be down 20 pounds by the end of April if I followed that same eating menu!! That has me excited and I’m very happy knowing that my body is getting stronger and healthier!
3/11 = 208.2 – Again, I feel good today and I’m happy to see the 2 ounce drop. It lets me know that I’m still going in the right direction with my journey. It’s been so long since I’ve felt this good and focused on making each day the best day I can to take care of me! Tomorrow evening I have a Sip & Paint event for my sister’s birthday. I’m already planning ahead (which is key) so that I don’t sabotage all the great work I’ve done this week.
3/12 =DWM
3/13 = DWM
3/14 =208.8 – Happy Monday Everyone! So, I got on the scale this morning thinking “you know you had a few cocktails over the weekend, and you didn’t drink enough water”. Seeing that I'm up a few ounces this morning wasn’t a surprise to me. In fact, I was actually thinking that it would be a few pounds. The takeaway for me this morning is, Logging my menu choices and staying focused on keeping my body hydrated is so important. Even if I’m not at 100% discipline, those two key factors make a huge difference overall. Today I’m going to the gym and I plan to do at least 30 minutes of cardio and some light weights. Wishing everyone a healthy, productive week!
3/15 = 207.6 – This number is a pleasant surprise especially after my weekend splurge at my sister’s Sip & Paint! Yesterday I had a good 30 minutes of cardio and I cleaned up my eating (back to basics). Today I plan to do more weight lifting a light cardio.

@musicsax Thank you! Hopefully it will straighten out and I’ll be able to post more than words by the end of the month! I hadn’t had any problem with posting pics until they started making changes so I don’t know why all of a sudden it’s my fault. I can post pictures everywhere else. 🤷♀️4

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

3/8 121.5 Continued reflection of Sunday’s party. Today (neighbor’s actual b-day) we’re taking her to Golden Corral where I can get meat and veg/salad.
3/9 120.0
3/10 120.0
3/11 121.5 Ham and beans and cornbread. Sadly I expected this. I didn’t eat much but haven’t made them in at least 2.5 years and they were so good. I ate mostly ham. To whoever mentioned Leslie Sansone 5K with a Twist - thank you! I did a mile yesterday and will continue to work on this. After doing pretty much nothing for 2 years, this is a beginning!
3/12 121.0 Went shipping at Sam’s. Lots of steps plus walked in place watching TV.
3/13 120.5 This has been a long cold winter in Las Vegas.. I’m so ready for it to be over! I continue my indoor walking program and feel good. I seem to be having trouble accessing the community this morning. Why can I access everything else on the internet except this community?
Well I finally got on and was reading all messages. When I got to coblujay and the picture of her sweet Bubba, I got some screen about having encountered a problem and couldn’t get back to the community board!
3/14 120.0 I finally got to post yesterday. YAY! My carbs have been much higher the last week due to added fiber trying to get all “systems go.”

Day/Weight/Comment
3/8 247.6 Hi new round! Bouncing around this new low for a couple of days, I guess. Worked out yesterday – strength and cardio. I’m still working on figuring out what percentage of my exercise calories to eat back. My son is home for spring break so he came to the gym with me, which was great fun. No idea what’s for dinner tonight, so I guess I need to think about that sometime soon.
3/9 248.0 Welp. I think this is primarily water, when thinking about what I’ve been taking in and what I’ve been…expelling. I guess it’s no surprise given the workout increase. Trusting the process has worked so far, so I’ll continue that plan. Meals for today are planned and logged.
3/10 247.6 Still bouncing. Good news is that my knee is so much better after 5 weeks of PT. Feeling a little frustrated at the scale’s lack of movement but doing my best to keep on track. I can see and feel a difference, though, so that’s keeping me going.
3/11 246.6 It’s fascinating how my mind and body know when I need a little whoosh of encouragement! This came at a great time. Going out for hubby’s birthday dinner tonight and it will be a bit of a challenge, but I’ll do my best!
3/12 DNW
3/13 247.2
3/14 247.2 Friday night was as challenging as expected but I think another day or two of water and being back on the program will take care of it. Food for today is planned and logged and I’ll get in a workout this evening to take advantage of daylight savings time.
3/15 246.2 I guess I’ve left Friday night’s dinner behind me, which is great. It’s a beautiful day here so I’m going to try to get outside and take advantage of it. Meals all planned for today. Have a good one, everybody!

3/8- 186.6 NEW LOW! I spent a lot of time on my feet yesterday, so I was pleasantly surprised by this drop. 67 net carbs and step goal hit.
3/9- 185.6 I couldn’t be happier! I’m now comfortable saying I’ve broken my stall. 170s here I come! 85 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. Ready to make today amazing!
3/10- 184.8 47 net carbs and step goal hit. It’s so nice to sew downward movement again. I’m loving this!
3/11- 183.8 58 net carbs, steps hit, and Pelo ride done. Feeling really good this week!
3/12- 183.8 Seems the monthly hormonal shift is setting in. At least it seems more normal this time around than how it’s been during the stall! 73 net carbs and step goal hit. It’s snowing here today, so I’ll be spending some time in the kitchen making cheese. It’s the perfect snowy day activity!
3/13- 183.6 91 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. It’s a small step down, but it’s still a step down! I’ll be happy to hold right around here for the next week.
3/14- 183.6 67 net carbs and step goal hit. I’m okay with this number today.
3/15- 183.4 59 net carbs and step goal hit. I’m happy to be seeing even the slightest movement down this week, so this is great!10 -

No change from yesterday. I feel puffy today though. And sore from weight training yesterday. But wishing for a good round for everyone!
03/09: 185 lbs (+0.6)
Had a much needed rest day yesterday, only a morning walk and some stretching. I usually get a slight bump anytime I do that. Not concerned in the slightest!
03/10: 185.4 lbs (+0.4)
Haven't been sleeping well. Waking up 4-5 hours before the alarm. Otherwise I'm sticking to my plans.
03/11: 185.4 lbs (-0.0)
Still feeling bloated. Managed to get back to sleep quicker than the last couple days after waking up at 2am for no reason. Feel more rested today so plan to be more active.
03/12: 182.2 lbs (-3.2)
I weighed twice to be sure. Drank a lot of water yesterday, peed a lot too. And slept better. Think the bloat is the answer. Anyway, new low!
03/13: 182.4 lbs (+0.2)
Expected a bigger rebound after yesterday so this is good! Slept better last night and feeling less stressed, more confident.
Taking a drive in the mountains today with a friend who's not very mobile. Walk this morning and hoping to get some steps in throughout the day.
03/14: 185.4 lbs (+3.0)
I realize one of the reasons I don't hang out with that friend very often is I make terrible choices. He always wants to eat at places that don't have healthy choices. I'm taking total responsibility for the slip, but I have to remember that's a problem in the future. Too much salt and alcohol, not enough movement. It will come back down.
03/15: 185 lbs (-0.4)
Easing back down. Hopefully gets back down before the end of the round. Not too worried about it as long as I keep doing the right things.

3/11: 198.2 (+6.0) It was a whirlwind trip to Dallas, meeting up with several of my fellow artists to take an assemblage class. We had a wonderful time, drank lots of wine and a very salty margarita. I learned so much in the class and spent most days sitting working on my sculpture. It’s not done yet, but I love it. I’m guessing the salt played a big role in this gain, but it will work its way off over the next week and then I’ll be ready to get to a new low. Worth every calorie, laugh, chocolate and splatter of paint.
3/12: 197.4 (+5.2) I got home and spent some time with my eighteen year old cat, Bubba. He’s been struggling lately and I knew the time would come. A friend stayed with him at the house while I was out of town and he was so excited to see me. Later in the evening, he took a turn for the worse and it was time. I think he waited for me. So, I’m giving myself some grace and time. I’m going to miss that little guy. He was an amazing cat and had a long adventurous life. Tomorrow is the day I’m going to get back on track and back in my routine.
3/13: 197.8 (+5.6) Back on track today. My sister and I are going to take a long walk with the dogs. I’m hoping to be moving back down by the end of this challenge, although I don’t anticipate a new low weight.
3/14: 197.6 (+5.4) Yesterday was a good day and the weight should start dropping off this week. Tomorrow, I’ll get back to the pool after a week and a half away. Slowly, but surely…
3/15: 196.6 (+4.4) Finally dropping back down. It’s good to get back in the rhythm. I’m meeting several people for lunch this week. That’s going to present a bit of a challenge. I just need to stay focused.12 -

3/8: 138.4 - Whoosh! Normal workout and eating yesterday, although I really wasn’t that hungry and consequently didn’t eat my first meal until around 2pm. Good sleep as well.
3/9: 138.4 - I’m a few pounds away from goal weight, so I finally went out and bought a couple of new pairs of jeans yesterday since even the smallest pants in my closet were too loose. I have pretty much been living in workout leggings for the last 6 months. It’s a much more enjoyable experience shopping when your body looks better in clothes. Normal workout and eating yesterday. So-so sleep.
3/10: 138.2 - Got my workout in despite a bit of a headache. Ate okay, but the majority of calories were dinner/dessert since I wasn’t feeling great until about 2pm. Woke up way too early this morning.
3/11: 139.3 - Normal workouts. However, a night of wine, chocolate, cheese and nuts (and carbs) with friends might have temporarily done me in. It was wonderful to see everyone though.
3/12: 139.1 - Instead of my normal workout, I did a 6 mile walk. Ate all of my exercise calories back.
3/13: 138.7 - Normal workouts and eating.
3/14: 138.2 - Had a little late evening mini-binge, but still within calories. Normal workouts and sleep.
3/15: 138.2 - Ate every single one of my exercise calories back. Normal workout and sleep.
