Day/Weight/Comment
3/28: 135.6 - Happy to be starting this round holding steady at yesterday’s new low. I changed my ultimate goal weight to a range, dipping 5 pounds below what was my ultimate goal weight of 135. This last pound may be tough to achieve this round as I’m traveling for most of it and will be doing a lot of eating out visiting family and friends without a weight scale or a food scale.
3/29: 135.6 - Normal workout, eating, but a little short on sleep due to an early morning flight
3/30: - DNW, traveling - flew cross country yesterday, so not much eating or drinking until dinner. Got my workout in by doing an almost 2 mile walk at the airport while waiting to board and then walked a ton after we arrived. Kept it reasonable at a tapas place and even stopped at Trader Joe’s to pick up some desert/snacks that fit into plan. I’ve changed my goals to maintenance, so that gives me an extra 300 calories per day to play with.
3/31: - DNW, traveling - walked at least 6 miles to and from the museums plus the slow walking around the places themselves. Minimal eating during the day (a yogurt and a few chips and cheese). Just that little amount was 600 calories! Dinner out with friends was easy to calculate since the restaurant listed nutritional values on their website.
4/01: - DNW, traveling - did the walk to and from the museum again plus 5 hours of walking around the museum. Dinner was a bit of a budget buster with tapas again.
4/02: - DNW, traveling

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: +/- 0 pounds

Previous days

3/28 121 I did an active recovery spin bike ride this morning for about 40 minutes. I just kept my heart rate in the warmup and easy zone for most of it. My sleep was a little weird last night and the past couple of days I’ve just felt kind of fuzzy/foggy. I’m looking forward to the weekend already because I bought our house (myself/husband and inlaws) a new grill to share that is giant! I’ll be able to fit all of my grilled veggies on it along with whatever protein I’m cooking that night. It’s has 34in by 18in of cooking surface and has 6 burners. So, Saturday my father in law and I will have a nice couple of hours bonding time while we put it together (my husband gets out of helping because him and I trying to put things together typically doesn’t end well haha!). I hope everyone has a good start to the week!
3/29 122 pre workout 121.2 post workout. Did 45 minutes on the spin bike this morning because my husband’s car is still in the shop. I’m looking forward to getting back to the gym tomorrow morning to do my strength routine. I’m a major creature of habit, so not being at the gym for two days in a row feels like forever because I had been going almost everyday for a while and at most I wouldn’t go for like a day.
Breakfast this morning was a ¼ of a pro meal bar before I jumped on the bike and then I had a bowl of high protein kashi cereal with almond milk and a protein shake on the side. Lunch will be a salad with blueberry goat cheese and crispy chickpeas with a balsamic fig dressing. Plus I’ll add some fresh kohlrabi on the side as another crunchy component. Then, dinner will be sesame noodles with ground pork and a bit of bok choy mixed with it. So, it’ll be a solid day food wise and according to MacroFactor, I’m pretty on point with my macros for today. I’m feeling a bit less fuzzy today as well, so that’s a relief.
3/30 123.2 I think it was. Totally normal blip up thanks to where I’m at in my cycle. Feeling good today and did my strength training at the gym this morning followed by intervals on the treadmill. Friday I’ll be moving into phase 3 of my strength program and looking forward to it! I’ve already noticed my body changing in certain areas and muscles popping from muscle pump during workouts, which is really exciting. So, I’m even more excited to see where I’m at 3 or 4 months from now. Food was good yesterday and it’s looking similar today. I’m not as hungry this morning so I’m waiting a bit before I eat the second part of my breakfast today (already drank my protein shake but now I’m waiting for my appetite to surface to eat some Grapenut cereal).
3/31 123.8 Ugh hormones and unexpectedly trying the new Korean fried chicken place nearby. Didn’t sleep well either, so I was tired for most of the day. Didn’t workout out because my knee was bothering me from falling at the gym yesterday. It’s feeling better now/there’s no pain after a day of rest and I’m hoping the swelling stays down so I can go to the gym in the morning. Now I’m about to get into bed but I didn’t want to forget to post. Have a good night!

4/1 123.6 Went to the gym and started the new phase in my strength program. It felt good and I’m looking forward to moving forward with it. Feeling a bit better today and my knee was fine during my workout, so that was a major relief. My appetite is weird this morning, I was starving for like a minute but then couldn’t figure out what I was actually hungry for/wanted to eat. I took that as a sign to just drink my protein shake and have my mushroom tea. Then, later this morning I’ll when I actually feel like it, I’ll eat something. I heard back from the hotel and unfortunately, the bakery that was going to be making the cake for my husband is going to be closed when we’ll be up there… so I went with chocolate covered strawberries as a surprise instead. That’s a bit healthier too, so it works out I suppose.

Happy Friday!

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 11,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; Strength training 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.

3/28: 183.2- Finished the day with 80 carbs, but I’m up today because I enjoyed an alcoholic beverage last night with dinner. I also fell short on steps, but I’m not worried about that. Eyes back on the prize today though! And that means no alcohol for the foreseeable future because that stuff always gets me.

3/29- 182.8 I was hoping for more, but this is fine. 68 net carbs, step goal hit, and for once I actually did some strength training again too! My goal this round is to get back into that habit because it had helped a lot when I was consistent with it. That, and lately I’ve really been noticing the muscles that my previous consistency had netted me. I don’t want to lose those hard earned muscles!

3/30- 182.6 Another small drop. 93 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. I’m going to attempt to go lower carb today than I’ve been lately. I definitely notice a difference on the scale when I go more toward the bottom half of the <100g goal than the top half.

3/31- 181.8 I’ll take that! 78g carbs- so much for that lower end of the <100g. Lol Step goal hit too. Now to make today count in a big way!

4/1- 180.0 Wow! More than I was hoping for! 68 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. So happy to see this number this morning!

@_jefferyd_ it sounds like you got to the gym, so that's what counts! The winter also has the effect of making people not want to leave the house. So, at least it's spring now and hopefully, it'll help bring you more motivation as we get more and more daylight each day.

3/28 209.2 Up a little but that’s ok. Did workout today. Need to get back to planning meals again that always worked for me.
3/29 208.4 That’s a nice surprise. Workout accomplished.
3/30 208.4 That works for me. I’m tired today after doing yard work yesterday afternoon. The muscles were tight but loosened up after I worked out and stretched.
3/31 209.6 Yikes! Ate out for lunch and had a big sandwich. I’m hoping this was mostly salt. Got the workout in this morning.
4/1 208.2 Maybe that was salt. No workout today, doing yard work at DD instead.

As I plan this next 10 day weight goal, I’m looking back at the previous rounds and see that I have just yo-yoed up and down. Right now I am in the up range.
These last two years have been stressful for everyone with the changes and adjustments that COVID has brought. Our family has also had a lot of changes. In May 2020 my husband retired after 37 years at the same company and his last six weeks were working from home(COVID lockdown). In January 2021 we found a house in the next state over and moved on April 1,2021. In November husband was diagnosed with cancer and did radiation and this month he is continuing with monoclonal antibody infusions. Our oldest daughter has special needs and lives with us.
Everyone has their own list of stresses and concerns but we all need to learn how to manage them. Like many, I turn to food as I’m an emotional eater. It doesn’t really matter if it’s a good, bad, angry or happy day, food is there. You must have it to live but too much will eventually kill you. But, how do you find that balance? The balance between eating the right amount of good food, exercising and drinking water compared to too much, too little and not enough. It’s something that I struggle with each and every day.
Thanks for listening as I move to this next round and try to find the right balance.

4/1-165-Been making good choices and it is paying off. I am loving the longer days; I no longer eat dinner and sit in the recliner for the rest of the evening. There are YouTube podcasts from Andrew Huberman and he has one on “increasing motivation and drive” (it’s #12). He mainly discusses dopamine and your body; it is so interesting. One thing he says, is to go outside for 10 minutes first thing in the morning when you get up and it “resets your circadian rhythm”. I do that and it is so nice to hear the birds chirping and see the plants I’ve potted. It makes life good.

3/28 / 169.6 / Got on my gravel bike for the first time yesterday and gave it a try. First time clipping in on the road... super exciting. My Peloton gave me lots of practice.
3/29 / 170.4 / Got a new 60 minute PR on the Peloton last night and I'm looking forward to another ride at lunch. We got a dusting of snow last night so I'm hoping if I wait for my walk until after work that it will be melted.
3/30 / 169.8 / Did a 75 minute long ride on the Peloton last night and got my new PR for that time as well. Leaving for Ontario after work today.
3/31 / DNW / Arrived in Toronto after an evening flight. Going to see my mother-in-law today for the first time in years. Excited!
4/1 / DNW / Pretty sedentary day yesterday after an extremely late wakeup after only4-5 hours of sleep followed by a drive north of Toronto and supper with my in-laws. By the time we were done it was dark and the hotel gym was closed. Hoping to get a walk in today at least but the priority is definitely the family visiting while we're out here.

DH asked for a cake last week, so I baked a lemon poke cake Friday. Ate too much of it. Threw the remains away this morning. No self control! I also made my weekly soup—this week, Creamy White Chicken Chili. Lots of veggies. It’s yummy, and less than 300 calories a serving. Dinner again tonight, maybe lunch tomorrow. Works for me! And I just sent my entries for Rory’s first obedience trial in May — 5 weeks. I’d like to lose a bit by then in case we need a “new title” photo!

3/29 - 180.2
Calories were good, so whatever. I feel like I’m back on track.

3/30 - 180
Good day yesterday. Off for a walk in the park and then agility class. Fun!

3/31 - 179.8
Whoa, windy! March is going out like a lion. 🦁 I had some popcorn last night, but otherwise stuck to the plan. Rory & I had lots of fun at agility class, but he’s so fast! I’m definitely restarting my “wunning” program—walk/run intervals. Not that I’ll ever keep up with the pup, but it will help to be in better shape.

4/01 - 179.8
My April foolishness seems to be my macros—wayyyy to much fat. I’m not entirely sure how that’s happened, but I need to add veggies and proteins, and watch the fat. Also salt yesterday—got a taco salad for lunch, and I know it was salty. Today is plotted, and I’m planning lots of wawa. 😁

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
8th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.

Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
RSW: 244.4
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully

Day/Weight/Comment
3/28 244.4 A little bounce up this morning, not completely unexpected. Still feeling great about the Weekend Whoosh, which is not something I normally get! Huge work project launching today. So far it looks like everything is going well; fingers crossed that continues. Food is planned and logged, and I have my happy purple water tumbler right next to me. Have a great round, everyone!
3/29 243.2 I’m starting to see a pattern here. I’ll lose a pound or two relatively quickly, then bounce around for a while (just long enough to feel the frustration start, usually) and then start moving downwards again. I know weight loss isn’t linear, but seeing the pattern is helpful to keep me motivated. At any rate, food is planned and logged for today.
3/30 243.8 And it’s apparently bounce time. Meals for today are planned and logged.
3/31 244.2 I had a feeling this might happen. Was running late last night and had fast food for dinner. Just a kids’ meal, but the sodium is real. Ah well. Time for good choices and lots of water.
4/1 243.6 Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend.

3/28 ~ 190.5 - 11,400 and 110. We went for a hike to a waterfall. They recently put in stairs and a platform there and a new parking lot, but that's only at the falls the rest of the hike has some steep hills.
My watch registered 44 flights of stairs. Either of us had been before but all of our kids have and it was so muddy and slippery an accomplishment for sure!! I love hiking. - Looking forward to seeing some 8's this round!! Cheers to round 182!!
3/29 ~ 190.4 - 15,100 and 106 min. Struggled through the Monday and dragged my *kitten* out for an evening walk to make and surpass my step goal. Dreaming of 8's.
3/30 ~ 190.6 -16,200 and 112 min. My lunch break walk was the only time the sun came out yesterday. Today looks like it'll be full of sun. Have a great day all!!
3/31 ~ 190.3 -18,000 and 131 min. Today is going to be a challenge I think I developed some kind of an allergy, my eyes are sore, red and dry. It's an eyeglass wearing day, never my favourite. Didn't get much sleep and I've just spilled coffee all over my white shirt. I've heard with allergies having a little local honey everyday can help. Will aim for 10,000 steps but might just go to bed and not take an evening walk. Hope everyone's day is better then mine!!

4/01 ~ 188.7 -10,600 and 71 mins. Allergy eye drops are helping but still another day of glasses. Love seeing these 8's!! SO is home for the weekend and I hope I can talk him into another good hike. Oh I saw a post yesterday with the heading ' IF NOTHING CHANGES.... NOTHING CHANGES!' and it's so true!
.... Welcome April!!

03/27 …..199.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/28 …..199.6 ….. (Trend weight 199.1) 3 meals instead of two but the snacks were better planned.

03/29 …..199.8 ….. Trend weight 199.2) So close to where I just don’t want to be again. So far from where I need to be. More changes needed.

03/30 …..199.6 ….. (Trend weight 199.2) I’m not doing well enough to make any big differences. I’ve got to watch the carbs way more than I am right now.

03/31 …..199.6 ….. (Trend weight 199.3) Kitchen remodel is in full swing. Ripping down ceiling today in kitchen, dining area and hallway. Blown in insulation is MESSY. I went out to dinner with a friend last night. Extra calories but lots of extra movement yesterday so I hope it evened out and doesn’t show up on the scale in the next day or two.

@KayHBE We’ve been in Las Vegas for 12 years and this year my husband’s allergies have caught up with him. He took shots for years in Colorado and hasn’t had real problems since. This spring has been bad. He starts allergy testing soon. Prayers for you and yours.

@quiltingjaine... Thank you! I hope it's a short season for both him and myself.

Day/Weight/Comment

3/28 170.8 Interesting way to start off! I'm either going to be bouncing up to 171 or [crosses fingers] down to 169 this round.
3/29 170.8 Fine with this!
**3/30 170.8 I don't know how it's even possible that I can weigh the exact same thing for days in a row down to the tenth of a pound, but here we are again! I'm a little paranoid about glitchy scale nonsense, so I always weigh first in clothes + an added weight (book) so the last reading isn't defaulting to the previous day's weight (since I read once that if the weight is super close from one day to the next, the scale may report an identical weight even if it should have registered a tenth of a pound or so lower). Then I weigh for real without clothes. Paranoid? Smart? Who knows! It makes me more confident that the reading is accurate. Frustrating, but accurate!
3/31 170.4 I tried my new and improved weigh-in method (thanks to @musicsax and @quiltingjaine for the suggestions!) and hey, I'm down 0.4 lbs! Broke my 3-day identical weight streak. Yesterday I did my first walk of this round. Feeling good about my chances of dipping into the 160s before this round is up!
4/1 170.2 Happy with this heading into the weekend. Tonight is pizza night and that's always an easy one for me because no matter where we get our pizza, I have one slice and savor a Coke, so I never feel deprived. The sodium sometimes makes me bounce up a bit the next day, but pizza nights are easy on portion control, at least.

@_JeffreyD_ Is your part of Illinois as gray as the southern part of the state? I haven’t been to Washington since I went to SIU in 1969. DH was always “down” because of the constantly gloomy sky. Feel better!
