Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 180

My last round was very successful. I lost 4.2 pounds.
Goals: This round for me is all about getting and staying in the 250's (only 0.5 pounds away). I am 10.4 pounds away from my pre pregnancy weight (250). So, my next couple of rounds will be dedicated to getting to 250.
SW: 280
3/8 - 260.4 - 19.6 pounds down - I have been holding steady for the last few days and I am totally okay with that. With a hectic weekend that was really tough on my body and lack of sleep I really did not expect the scale to move. I'm just really happy that the scale isn't going up. 250 is so close I can taste it.
3/9 - 260.8 - 19.2 pounds down - This whole eat right and exercise is getting old. LOL. I feel like I am hitting a wall, but I'm still pushing. I'm still here.
3/10 - 260.8 - 19.2 pounds down - Finally got some good sleep yesterday. Went to bed nice and early. I will definitely be working out tonight.
3/11 - 260.0 - Down 20 pounds - I'm back baby! I worked out last night and it felt good. Got in more than enough rest. Ate well. I prepared my food in the morning and didn't dread it. I see you 250's. Come to mama!
3/12 - 259.6 - Down 20.4 pounds - yes, yes, yes! I worked for this. I earned it! First 20 pounds gone. 9.4 pounds away from my pre pregnancy weight. I’ve never been this consistent and I am proud of myself.
3/13 - 261.0 - Down 19 pounds - Did not have time to post on Sunday because nursing school clinicals are kicking my butt.
3/14 - 262.0 - Down 18 pounds - Perfect storm this weekend. I really under ate and it finally caught up with me. There's something about having to be up at 5 am for my 7 am clinical 2 days in a row that makes me not want to eat my usual oatmeal for breakfast. Then I ordered 2 footlongs from Subway for my dinner for Saturday and Sunday because I have no food in the house. Thank God I have no junk food because last night around midnight I was starving and all I could find was salad ingredients. I seriously went into the kitchen 3 times looking for food. I ate the salad. Very unsatisfying! I'm going grocery shopping and meal prepping today so I can get on track ASAP. I will be back in the 250's soon.
3/15 - 259.4 - Down 20.6 pounds - I'm back baby! Looks like I'm going to claim the 250's for the month of March. Woo-hoo! I ate both my meals outside the home yesterday, but I made really good choices. I woke up today and cooked a whole batch of chicken. Let me tell you I know chicken breast is all low fat/cal and preferred but chicken thighs is where it's at. So good.
3/16 - 258.6 - Down 21.4 pounds - I have been so hungry lately. I don't know what's up with that. Super surprised to see such a significant loss.
3/17 - My daughter turns 1 year old

No apologies necessary. MFP has changed with the new Corp Team. I have let a lot of things go that they never fixed for me -- my MFP ticker being one of them that pained me the most. If it is not a major problem they do not care.quiltingjaine wrote: »First, I apologize for my little “come apart” the other day.

Second, I’m not a computer/tech guru but when I only have a problem on one website, I think the problem is with that website and I shouldn’t have to delete everything to fix it.
I love this group and will continue for as long as I can. Thank you to those who talked me off the cliff and volunteered to take over. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘
I just keep it in perspective. It is basically free and they have us at their mercy. I just used another ticker and kept going.
Thanks again and keep on inspiring us my friend! I love you, MFP and all of the Pals I have met over the years! You all inspire me to never give up! And I have been in many groups on MFP that have been great and this one is great indeed and I am so glad I found it! I am going to stick with it this time, for better or for worse

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.
3/15 / 172.4 / Two Peloton rides within a 12 hour window - rode last night and then again this morning. Longer walk at lunch with the beautiful temperatures outside. Work is very stressful right now so I'm glad to have my well established habits to pull me through.
3/16 / 173.4 / Not feeling my best today - not run down from an exercise perspective, but just mentally and so on. No big concern - I had a nice walk at lunch with my husband and we're going to go enjoy some fresh air again here shortly. Time to give myself some mental rest.

3/17 - 151.6 - I'm guessing based on memory as my scale and app didn't sync. Again. Heavy dinner of steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans with mushrooms about 20 minutes before bed. I don't know why else my weight might be up so much. Lunch today is leftovers of all 3 and dinner tonight is fajitas. BF and kids got me strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries since I asked for fruit for breakfast this morning. Loaded up a little mini fruit salad (no dressing). Believe LittleBro had a smoothie made of what was left last night. At least I know fruit will be eaten in this house. It's my Friday but plan is I'm likely to take kids back to Oklahoma Saturday so tomorrow is errands day. At least I get to sleep in until normal people get up hah!
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.
3/11 - DNP
3/12 - DNP
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.
3/14 - DNP
3/15 - 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.
3/16 - Finally a little relief from bloating. Still got some belly bulge but I'm wondering if that's bloating at all. Possible, not convinced. I have work to do to get back on track. Last night we had taco Tuesday. Leftover spaghetti for lunch as BF (for the first time ever) didn't make enough for everyone AND have leftovers for lunch. Fam coming over for steaks tonight and to see kids, hopefully we will have enough for tomorrow's lunch as I'm out of spaghetti leftovers today. Fam's either Thursday or Friday night. BF has decided BigBro will drive Toto (the toyota) since he's used to it now and I'll get the "new" Impala. Haven't driven it yet so I'll have to figure out a nickname for it. Not much else to report.

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 😞
3/15 DNW - just didn’t want to know. Tomorrow is a new day!! 🙂
3/16 180.8 🙂 That’s better. Continuing with mindful eating. Activity is on the light side as now my left toes hurt to bend -aka walking. WTH?? Weirdness. I will concentrate on hula hoop & yoga , stretching & arm weights.
3/17 ☘️ 181.2 🍀 story of my life up down up down up down but I will take it cuz it’s lower than my R180 starting weight 🙂

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

3/14- 205.6 - had a few bad days but I’m back at it today. I normally quit after a few weeks so I’m happy to feel the motivation to continue.. and my bad days weren’t anything bad compared to pre-dieting so I’ll take that as a win!!
3/15- 205- had a great day. I’m off till Monday so hoping I can be smart. Still waiting on the hubby to fix my elliptical 🤣
3/16- 202.4- not sure how accurate this is but I felt really good this morning and ‘lighter’ if that makes sense
3/17-201.6 - had a great round but I’m going out for March madness and at patty’s day so this won’t last

3/10 ~ 209.2 Better!
3/11 ~ 209.2 Turning 50 tomorrow...eeeek.... lot's of eating out. Really want to stay on track. I wish celebrations did not always revolve around food!
3/12 210.2... not surprising ... HBD to me... celebrated a bit last night and will a little more today ... still hitting the gym this am !
3/13. 210.2. Had a delicious bday dinner, so the same works for me . I know it will probably be up tomorrow and I'm ok with that
3/14 210.0 Could I really get away with less than a 1lb gain on my 50th bday weekend? I hope so!
3/15 210.2
3/16 209.0
3/17 208.4. Tough round! But with my 50th birthday in the middle, I'll take the loss !11 -

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.
3/9: 212.8
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.
3/10: 214.4
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.

3/15: 213.8
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. 😊
3/16: 213.2
This should have been way lower today.

Dark side: Goals Unmet
Bright side: Today’s weight is lower than my starting weight.
I am still in the saddle.

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.
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!
3/16- 182.6 Surprised by the drop but I’ll take it! 87 net carbs, steps hit, and Pelo ride done. DH has been sick for a week now, and I think I might be coming down with it too.
3/17- 183.0 I’m okay with this. Still working my way through the hormonal shift, so all is good. 37 net carbs and step goal hit. Pretty darn happy with the results this round!

3/08 - 178
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!
3/10 - 178
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.
3/14 - 179.2
💗 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.
3/16 - 179
I can’t believe this round is almost finished. Time—whoosh! It’s a lovely day so I’m off for a walk in the park and then Rory’s first agility class. He’s gonna love it! Then a little garden cleanup this afternoon. I don’t pick up leaves and old stems until we have +50F for at least a week, but I can prune back some vines and pull of the annual climbers, and tomorrow I’ll plant my sweet peas. I know it’s spring—the neighbor is mowing his lawn.
3/17 - 180.2, running average 179.9
☘️🇮🇪 Slainte! Happy St. Pat’s. So, my uptick is entirely my own doing, as my calorie average is above maintenance. No excuses. Onward!Goal for 2022-2023 Progress

Previous days3/17 122.2 Pre workout 120.6 post workout. My legs are a bit sore from my new routine yesterday. I ran about 5.5 miles on the treadmill this morning which also helped loosen up my sore muscles. I can’t wait for it to be light out in the early morning hours again. Food was good yesterday and today should be another good day food wise. I’m looking forward to making corned beef and cabbage tonight for dinner and making a healthy “shamrock shake” to go with my lunch today. Work is starting to pick up again which is nice because it results in me eating out of boredom less/thinking about my next meal.
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.
3/15 122.6 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!
3/16 121.6 Slowly but surely dropping back down. 😊 Did strength today at the gym and followed it with 18 minutes on the rowing machine. I’m excited because I bought a planner from personalplanner.com and they sent me an email that it shipped! I decided I needed one because I like writing out my day better than using my outlook calendar. I just feel less stressed when my to-do’s are written down on paper and then I can cross them off. I don’t know why it’s more satisfying than checking it off on a screen but it just is for me. Food was solid yesterday and last night I made a roasted chicken that was heavenly. I always forget how yummy a simple roasted chicken can be. I had pressure cooked beets and carrots with it for a side plus gravy made from the giblets(used them to make the stock for the gravy) and a couple teaspoons of the drippings for some richness. Tonight will be leftovers or pasta, haven’t decided which one I want because I might use leftover chicken for lunch as a quesadilla. Tough decisions…
I'm content with my results this round even if I technically went up .2 lbs. In reality, I know that it's just a water weight fluctuation.

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.
3/16: 194.2 (+2.0) Phew! A bit relieved. I swam yesterday but did eat over my calories a bit when I met a friend for lunch. I need to get back to my exercise routine. Last week, at my art class, didn’t hardly move at all. I’m looking forward to a new low weight next challenge.
3/17: 191.4 (-.8) Wow! I haven’t had a whoosh like this for a long time. What a relief! This happened even after eating out a few times. I’ve been a bit over calories, but being careful still. What a great way to end this round.
