Day/Weight/Comment

4/16 168.8 lbs Much better! Of course I didn't lose 2.8 lbs overnight, but more importantly, I hadn't gained 2+ lbs overnight, either when I was up yesterday.
4/17 DNW Easter
4/18 DNW (my birthday!) 🎂
4/19 169.6 lbs I'm shocked I made it through Easter and my birthday without a major gain! Worried it might show up tomorrow.
4/20 168.0 lbs Huh. This is surprising. I've got company all week and have decided my goal is simply to maintain this round, so any loss is a bonus!
4/21 DNW
4/22 DNW
4/23 DNW
4/24 167.4 Back to the scale after a family vacation for my birthday week. It was great seeing everyone, but not so great on my routine. I didn't have the highest hopes for a round that includes Easter + my birthday, and I'm shocked to be down!
4/25 168.6 Up again, but not by much. Back to where I started this round, and my goal was to maintain, so it's okay.

Round 184 ( my 116th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

It's just over 4 weeks to DS wedding and I still messing about. What can I say that I haven't already. Feeling despondent. Need to lose this round, just lose!

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.

SW: 137.8
Day/Weight/Comment
4/17 DNW – 14.72 miles, forgot to take scales away for the bank holiday weekend & couldn't post as I dropped my phone and the screen needs replacing:(.
4/18 DNW – 3.92 miles, travel back home tomorrow will be able to weigh again, not looking forward to it as have slacked over the Easter weekend including chocolate eggs.
4/19 137.8 – 8.14 miles yesterday. Quite relieved at the number on the scales, taking it one day at a time. Attending an Uncle's funeral today followed by lunch out with DSs, going to choose a salad.
4/20 136.6 - 6.6 miles, chose an 8oz steak with salad for yesterday's lunch, all exercise calories eaten back.
4/21 137.4 – 8.12 miles, ate over calories (biscuits!)
4/22 137.4 - 11.67 miles.


4/23 DNW – 8.29 miles walked. Stopped last night in the south Lakes on our way up to Scotland, I did pack the scales but this morning they were dead! Needs a new battery; they are those small flat button ones, so it is going to be midweek before we venture into a town to do any shopping. Meanwhile, I endeavour to keep within calories.
4/24 DNW - 7.39 miles walked. All exercise calories + 9 eaten.
4/25 DNW – 10.41 miles walked, less than 50% exercise calories eaten back. I know I am losing cuz my Fitbit tells me that my resting heart rate has come back down to 50 beats per minute – it has crept up to 53 ( I'm usually in the mid to high 40's when at a lower weight).
4/26 136 - 10.8 miles. Well pleased with this, a more successful round for me, almost frightened to say for fear of jeopardising again!! But hopefully will continue now. Oh and resting heart rate this morning down to 49 so that's good too. 60% exercise calories eaten back. See you next round!

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!

Hi I'm Allison. I've been experiencing 2 types of things regarding my weight. Either it stays the same - at 180, OR, I go 2 pounds down, then 2 pounds up - LOL. Time to change this. A couple of years ago I made it down to 160. But my calorie intake was too low and therefore unsustainable.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/17 - 180
4/18 - 180 ** Gonna try to be positive and make this work
4/19 - 179.6 ** I’m going to make today a good day food wise. My legs hurt yesterday - so I think today I’ll take a break from walking/treadmill/elliptical - and do some arm work. Will continue yoga, too. On Day 3 of Yoga with Adriene - her 30 day series which began in January. There’s so much I can’t do ! But, I’m still going to try.
4/20 - 179.4 ** Yesterday was successful in terms of me eating within my calorie range. And I did my activities. I see no reason why I can’t repeat this today.
4/21 - 179.4 ** Woke up early - felt hungry. Just drinking some hot coffee and waiting a few hours before eating breakfast. I hope to be active today outside - weather should be nice. And I want to get my bicycle out of the shed. Haven’t ridden it in at least 2 years. I readjusted my weight loss goal to 1 pound per week - and it put my calorie intake at 1290. Also I decided not to continue with the 30 day yoga series because I can’t do half the things the instructor does. I need to do in person classes - or get a teacher to help me figure out a routine that works for me.
4/22 - 179.4 ** I’m still pushing forward today with eating at my suggested calorie level.
4/23 - 179.6 ** I’m considering weighing myself once a week instead of daily. This way I’m only disappointed I didn’t lose one time per week instead of 7. LOL.
4/24 -
4/25 - 178.8 ** So I ate more calories Saturday - ate foods off my meal plan - and didn’t totally stick to eating plan Sunday. I was expecting to see a slight weight increase. Instead, I lost almost a pound.

4/26 - 179.6 ** LOL - back up. I’m still going to keep trying

Goals:

Goal for Round 184 is simply to get back to that 133.X number that I hit at the end of round 182 and began round 183.

The “boys”, AKA the cats, Harry and Han Solo, are going to get tracked once per round as well. Maybe this way I will not keep losing my data for them

SW: 136.0
Cats: Harry 10 lb 15.5 oz; Han Solo 11lb 12.5 oz

4/17 – 135.6 Yesterday was a good day all around. Five mile walk. All food tracked and within budget. Will all my bouncing around, I did expect a little better drop than .4. Today will be challenging. I will likely handle the day with “thoughtful” eating and tracking may not happen. I expect to be up a little tomorrow. Happy Easter!!!!

4/18 – 135.4 A miracle of Easter? I did not track and only walked 3.3 miles yesterday, but I am guessing that all the time on my feet cleaning and cooking, serving/entertaining, and then cleaning up again after balanced out with what I chose to eat. I sent leftovers out of the house, so much of that should not be an issue. Today, DH is spending 12 hours today returning my MIL home (4 hours driving each way with a 4 hour visit including dinner in the middle). For me today, I need to be smart and take advantage of not causing an uptick yesterday. Complicating factor is no morning walking as I am staying in this morning to help pack and see DH and MIL off.

4/19 – DNW

4/20 – DNW

4/21 – 136.0 Phew! Ended up spending a couple days feeling “off”. No severe symptoms, but the list matched those of the current omicron. Took two different home tests, with negative results on both. Anyhow, I tend to eat when stressed and even more so tended to eat with a stomach ache, which I had. I truly expected 138 or higher. Glad I got on the scale today.

4/22 – 135.2 Not sure how. But grateful. No exercise the past couple days. Today I was aiming to get fully back on track with tracking and exercise, but it is raining, thunder and lightning in the keys this morning (not common). I also learned yesterday afternoon from one member of the walking group that the 96 yr old MIL whom she caretakes is COVID+, and I can into another member of the group that rarely joins us but has been missing, that she is just now recovering from COVID. Two weeks ago, another couple in our building got it and the fully vaccinated husband got it so bad that he got monoclonal antibodies and is confident that he would be dead without (he is a very experienced doctor and states that with confidence). For two years, I basically rarely heard of anyone I know, now suddenly it is all around me.

4/23 – 136.8
4/24 – 136.4
4/25 – DNW
4/26 – 136.8 Well, as you can see, this round did not go as desired. :’( On to the next round, which will include 4 days of travel. If I can make myself weigh each day (I smuggled a scale in the car) and not do damage, that may be good enough.

4/26 - 153.4 - I'm guessing this is the water weight from drinking about 100oz yesterday and my body not yet processing it after a weekend of not enough water. Not terribly worried about it. Calories a tad higher yesterday but I was on my feet half the day as well (versus my normal sitting all day). Hate that this happens at the end of a round, but it's normal for me to bump up first before dropping water retention when it's hydration related. Ground venison burrito for lunch and have mini bell peppers as my veg. Didn't get around to eating them yesterday as I had to eat my lunch on the run. Today should be okay as I don't have any meetings during my normal lunch hour and no contractors on site to escort. Breakfast is bagel egg cheese sandwich as my ham slices didn't look too good and I didn't want to risk eating them. My english muffins were frozen as I forgot to pull them out, too. Just realized I forgot to pull them out this morning as well so I may have to get them out tonight and make breakfast in the morning vs while I eat dinner.

Previous Day's Comments

4/17 - DNP
4/18 - Not quite enough water through the weekend. I did manage to get my 90oz yesterday but our Easter lunch (Linner?) is still bubbling in there this morning. Not sure if it's not sitting right or what. At least I don't feel sick, just uncomfortable. A bit of a lazy weekend, too. I think we all needed it after work weeks followed by crazy, hectic, busy weekends doing manual labor. Back on water this morning to hopefully get this bloat down a bit, I'm feeling extra bleh carrying it around. Not much else to report.
4/19 - Got some of that bloat to disappear and I feel better. Mirror isn't as friendly as the feeling, so good thing I'm focusing on health and not looks. Looks will come in time with a consistent healthy lifestyle. Tracked all food and stayed under "exercise" calories (which was just the little bit of walking I managed throughout the day). I'm content with that. High likelihood I'll have to travel next week for work. Looks like leaving Monday, returning Wednesday. I have a couple appointments and an event happening on Friday so it better not go longer than Thursday. Not much else to report, simply chugging along and trying to get back on track health-wise
4/20 - I'm okay with that. BF made steak and chicken fajitas for dinner using the bell peppers I got (thankfully he used them before they went bad!) It was a bit heavy as I got home later than usual due to weather (apparently people can't drive over 20-30mph down the highway when its sprinkling rain so it took me 2.5hrs to get home. Usually only takes 1.5 hours). Didn't look as squishy and bloated as yesterday so it's progress in the mirror at least. Feel a tad lighter, too. Breakfast is overnight oats again. I'm really loving this oats kick I'm on. They definitely keep me full until lunch, unlike my "egg mcmuffin" breakfast. Plus, I can customize it a little every day so it doesn't feel like I'm eating the same thing on repeat. Not much else to report.
4/21 - Salt? Lack of sleep? Who knows. I feel bloated, but not necessarily heavier so I think this is simply water retention. Baked chicken thighs with homemade garlic butter noodles and green beans. Same thing for lunch today. I'll take it easier on the noodles for lunch as tonight we are doing pizza (frozen kind) and watching the new Batman. BF has been itching to watch it since it was released on HBOMax on Monday but wanted BigBro and I around to watch with him (he can be sweet in the oddest ways, I swear...) I have a bell pepper and some mini peppers I can munch on to add for veggies tonight.

4/25 - Typical weekend bump. I didn't get quite enough water and I spent yesterday morning outside manually chopping up and removing roots from where I plan my garden to be. It was humid and I simply couldn't catch back up. Plus, probably retaining some water in muscles from the manual labor. Don't feel sore, but doesn't mean I'm not retaining anything. Dinner was also quite heavy, beer can chicken with fried okra and baked parmesan zucchini. I don't look overly bloated so I think it'll drop once I'm back on track with water and eating routine. Today's lunch is leftover meat from fajitas, steak and chicken. Out of bell peppers, but I have mini bell peppers (raw) to munch on. We have a kitchenette here at work so I can always take a little break to chop and cook those up should meetings allow. I have the last of my overnight oats for today. Need to figure out what I can bring for lunch for the next 3 mornings. My "mcmuffins" don't take too long to make so I may make those up in the evening or real quick in the morning before I leave for the day. Going to slowly try to push my breakfast further and further out and get back to fasting this week. It may take a couple weeks for my body to slowly adjust

Day/Weight/Comment
4/17 / 167.6 / Third day in a row holding my normal BMI weight so that makes me feel happy. Working on getting a bit of a cushion now so that upward fluctuations are not putting me back in the overweight category. This is really just an "on paper" goal that makes me feel good, but I am looking forward to it. The sun is out, we've started the day with a large brunch, and we're hoping to get out to the mountains for a bit of adventure yet today.
4/18 / 168.6 / Busy work from home day today but I squeezed in my Peloton ride as part of my lunch hour. My husband and I will walk our dog after supper instead now that we have daylight for longer. Turkey meatballs with broccoli and a cauliflower potato mash for supper tonight.
4/19 / 167.6 / My magic number of this round We are getting a big snowstorm here in Alberta. Busy day in the office with a walk at lunch. Waiting for my turn on the Peloton tonight.
4/20 / 167.6 / Long commute in this morning due to bad roads, but they were better by this evening. Got a walk in again at lunch. Chicken for dinner and then I'll ride the bike again. Days fly by with the commute taking up so much time.
4/21 / 166.4 / Two cool things happened today. Firstly, I saw my doctor for my first physical since I lost 125 pounds. He was so congratulatory and it made me feel like a million bucks to know I'd done what he likely thought I would never do. Secondly, I took the opportunity to make two informal meetings I had with my staff walking meetings and it's equated to over 15,000 steps today and counting.
4/22 / 165 / Day started with lots of snow so I spent my lunch break shoveling the walkway. I want to get in a Peloton ride after work but we also have dinner with friends and we're walking to their house so we'll see if I can fit it all in!
4/23 / 167.2 / Fun night out with our friends last night. They made homemade pizzas, we had wine, and played games. Had a 60 minute Peloton ride this morning. Date night with my husband tonight.
4/24 / 167 / Well today was a whirlwind! A bit of work, a brunch buffet to celebrate a 55th wedding anniversary for a couple that's dear to us, and then a trip to the mountains for a 60KM bike ride. Ready for bed!
4/25 / 166.8 / Body is tired today... will start with a dog walk over lunch hour and see if I am up for a lighter Peloton ride this evening. I have to get our taxes done this week too so I may try to finish that tonight instead.
4/26 / 166.4 / Managed to get my taxes done last night and a Peloton ride in. Early morning today going back to office made earlier by my cat waking me up. Time to get to it! See you in the next round.

Generally, regain some semblance of discipline….

I am switching up my logging method to rounding to the nearest whole pound. Too much daily anxiety over these fractions!

Major Goal this round is to just lower my ten-day average.

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.

/ none / Welp, this is a well-deserved kick in the teeth. Easter dinner was AMAZING. My contribution was a spiral cut ham on the smoker with lots of “value added,” like maple syrup with brown sugar-based meat rub between every layer. I ate too much of that plus twice baked potatoes, green bean casserole, corn pudding, dinner rolls, strawberry rhubarb pie, etc. etc. (did I mention Easter candy?)

So, today’s reading is not totally me. It includes all the above and significant water retention.

Happy Monday all!

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment

4/17 - 178.8
Ok, made yesterday’s <179 goal today, in spite of a few jelly beans last night. We’re going to friends’ for dinner, so I’m eating light during the day. Happy Easter, Passover, Ramadan, and whatever else you might be celebrating! 🪺

4/18 - 179.6
Not a surprise after last night’s dinner. I didn’t try to count calories, though I may still enter what I remember. Other than jelly beans, nothing was too crazy caloric. Off this morning for evaluation for upcoming cataract surgery. Not looking forward to this adventure.

4/19 - 181
Time lag from Sunday + salt yesterday. Calories were good, so this is temporary. Eye eval went well yesterday and I’m scheduled for June surgeries, but I still have a lot of Qs and feel like I’m being rushed into this. I’m going to do a bunch of research and then decide whether to go forward or postpone. The only vision issue I have is night driving, and I rarely do that. We’ll see. Off to doggy school!

4/20 - 180.2
Ok, headed back in the right direction. I still feel I can hit my 178 goal this round. Agility class today, so I’ll get some exercise. Last week, Rory knocked me down—ran into me on a turn toward a jump. Thank goodness we have nice padded mats. Hoping to stay on my feet today!

4/21 - 179.6

4/22 - 179.6
I snacked a bit last night, but not too horribly. Off for coffee with a good friend. Happy Friday!

4/23 - 180
Woops. Boy, it doesn’t take much to boing me right back up. Calories were only slightly high yesterday. Oh, well. Gorgeous day—my garden calls!

4/24 - 179.4
What a gorgeous weekend it’s been here. Working in the garden (going back in a minute) preparing beds for new roses arriving this week. Then it’s soup day—making a sweet potato chowder that sounds delish. It will be my 17th Sunday soup in 2022, all different. It’s been fun!

4/25 - 180
Rats.

4/26 - 180.4, running average 180
I just bought my pup, Rory, a “slow bowl” to make him eat more slowly. Maybe I need one? Oh, well, on to the next round.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/16 …..201.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

04/17 …..203.4 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) A good day yesterday dietary-wise. However, day 2 of no TMI and a serious lack of steps yesterday. Gotta burn what you eat!

04/18 …..204.8 ….. Trend weight 201.8) Did someone say Easter Dinner?

04/19 …..199.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) We went out for Easter Dinner and to see the Easter Bunny and find eggs with DGS #4 because of a lack of kitchen during my reno. I felt like I ate a normal amount and did not even finish. Yesterday (Monday) I was so swollen in my calves and ankles and stomach that I was miserable. I pushed water and only got in my 250 steps 3 times out of 13 on my fitbit. Barely over 3000 steps for the day. On the couch all day with headache and miserable uncomfortable swelling. My doctor recently gave me a water pill to help aid my heart until I see the cardiologist June 1st. It is prescribed to take 2-3 times a week which is why I sometimes feel my weight will go up & down. I took the pill yesterday and those steps are from going back & forth potty. I also took a magnesium pill to help with TMI because it had been a few days. Both worked. Imagine my shock to see over 5 ½ pounds down overnight when I was so immobile! Glad to see it under 200! I feel much better today but I’m starving and my body wants to make up for the lesser amounts of food yesterday. I’ll choose wisely.

04/20 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) I think this is my weight and body adjusting after such a large drop on the scale yesterday. While I’m not happy with this number, it does feel correct and right.

04/21 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 201.4) Holding steady but need to see improvement. Very low level calorie burn yesterday. I’ve got to up my game as much as I safely can.

04/22 …..200.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.3) I am making some good choices for the meals. Snacks still need to be worked on. Dinner tomorrow with my daughter will be in the next town over and will spill over my allowances. I’ll have to make today an extra good day for compensation. Babysitting DGS #4 today so up & down the stairs I go!

04/23 …..200.6 ….. [/color-blue] (Trend weight 201.2) I’m very happy to see my trend weight going down. Scale up a bit today but I feel very bloated. Diet choices were good yesterday but calorie burn was low level.

04/24 …..204.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.5) 3.6 lbs overnight gain because of dinner out. WTH? Rotiss chicken breast, a side of pasta, a side of cottage cheese. 2 Oatmeal raisin cookies. Not exactly a diet meal but over 3 ½ pounds? Okey dokey. Bad weather has already started for the day. Rain, thunderstorms, hail expected and possible tornado watches today. I guess I’ll be inside.

04/25 …..202.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.6) I closed all my fitbit rings for the first time in awhile. Extra large calorie burn overall and plenty of steps. Diet was just so-so and exercise wasn’t exactly structured but I’m happy to see it dropping back down. Time to get out of the 200 prison I’m in.

04/26 …..202.2 ….. (Trend weight 201.6) Better diet but low level movement. Very restricted with this middle of house new drywall and sanding going on. Travel today with my 77 year old friend several hours each way to get her to her neurology appointment for essential tremors. Lunch/Dinner will be out.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/17 240.0
4/18 240.0 The reality of this weekend: not enough water, eating and enjoying things I only typically make 1-2 times/year, some stress, some movement, not enough sleep, skipped the gym. Not reality: I did not eat 7,000 calories, so I know this will drop in a few days! Now back on the plan.
4/19 239.6 Back to the gym yesterday and back on track.
4/20 239.8 I know the process works. I just have to stay focused and not get impatient or lose hope. Everything for today is planned and logged, and I’m headed to the gym after work.
4/21 239.2 Slowly coming down. Was at the office all day yesterday but took the time to plan and take lunch/snack with me instead of being caught without. Hit the gym last night. Meals for today are planned and logged.
4/22 238.0 Back to my pre-Easter low. Now to focus over the weekend. Meals for today are planned and logged. Have a great weekend, everyone!
4/23 238.8
4/24 238.0
4/25 238.0 Had a great weekend with friends and family. More movement than usual, which was fantastic. I even talked my husband into taking a walk with me after dinner yesterday. The scale feels stuck, but I know I’m doing the right things. Meals for today are planned and logged, and I’m headed to the gym after work.
4/26 237.6 Nice to see a new (lower) number. See you all for the next round!

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.

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

**Comments apply to previous day**

SW RND 184 119.0. AW. 119.9
4/17 120.5. GKI 9.3 Lots of carbs yesterday because I ate a bowl of bran flakes trying to get things moving and 1 slice of veggie pizza at the quilt show. Quite happy with that! Walked over 7000 steps - about 3 times by usual - very happy with that too!
4/18 120.5 GKI 9.3 Hung out with recent widower friend. Lox, cream cheese, crackers and cheese followed by Italian sausage and cheesecake.
4/19 121.5 GKI 7.5 OMAD Great Greek salad with steak. Eating was good, I only ate about 1/8 of a pita. Increase is from carbs over the weekend and no TMI. I think I’m full of 💩 LOL I couldn’t pass that up. Sorry if I offended anyone.
4/20 119.5 GKI 7.2 still waiting for TMI but almost no carbs yesterday. Finished Greek salad (maybe 3/4 c) made steak and cauliflower for dinner and even had a glass of wine
4/21 120.0 GKI 19.6 Subs at bingo last night, no plastic ware so I pulled the bread apart and put the meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion between the remaining crusts. It was a substantial portion which was surprising. Apparently, too substantial! I wish this wind would blow in some rain. The dust in the air is horrid.
4/22 119.0 GKI 9.6 Golden Corral this afternoon with neighbors (I ate protein and 1 hush puppy)
4/23 120.0 GKI 12.0 expected after GC.
4/24 120.5 GKI 9.1 Kielbasa peppers and onions, Culinary Lion “copycat Pizza Hut” keto pizza with sauce, peppers, onions, Genoa salami, white cheddar and mozzarella. DH had chest congestion yesterday ion arising, used nebulizer with some improvement. Waiting to see how he feels today, may do home test.
4/25 119.5. GKI 8.4 COVID home test was negative. So many having allergy issues because of the draught and crazy winds we’ve been having - we think this may have caused the lung congestion. (1081)
4/26 118.5 GKI 6.1 OMAD ground beef and green bean casserole

4/17 192.6 (+3.6) I had a huge binge day yesterday. I was planning to have an indulgence meal and then never stopped. I enjoyed every minute. The beauty of this is that I was confident I could get back on plan. Under calories today and a nice long walk with the dogs on a beautiful Easter Day. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
4/18 192.0 (+3.0) No organized exercise and a busy day today. Weight is starting to drop already. Now, just to stay consistent.
4/19 190.0 (+1.0) Heading to the pool this morning. My vacation begins in two and a half weeks. I’ve got a lot to do before then. I was hoping to be closer to 180 by now, but still happy with all of the progress I’ve made in the last year. I can’t believe I’m 30 pounds away from goal weight. I saw a number of former co-workers yesterday and they told me over and over again how great I looked. Some days I really see the difference and others all I can see are the rolls that still exist. My plan for vacation is to enjoy my meals but to eat smaller portions. I’ll be gone for two weeks. I know I’ll gain weight, but hopefully it resets my body so when I return, I’m in losing mode and can finally bust past this semi plateau. On countdown!!
4/20 189.0 (0) Feeling great today and happy to be back where I started this round. No indulgence meal until the very end. Not much exercise today beyond a walk with the dogs. I started adding half a scoop of protein powder to my oatmeal in the morning. I wasn’t getting quite enough protein.
4/21 190.2 (+1.2) It’s amazing what a salty meal can do. Lucky it’s only temporary. No organized exercise today, just playing with paint.
4/22 190.0 (+1.0) It’s been an incredibly busy week and I haven’t stayed on top of logging like I usually do. That’s playing a bit of havoc, but things will slow down in the next few days, thank goodness.
4/23 188.2 (-.8) Phew! Did you hear my huge sigh of relief from your house? My low weight was 188 on April 12th. I’m definitely adjusting to the slower weight loss and am not expecting huge whooshes. Just seeing it come down little by little is great. I had brunch with some of my friends yesterday. The big art auction for charity where one of my paintings will be available is April 30th. I did a brief fashion show yesterday with my friends and they helped me decide on an outfit. I’m so excited and will confidently sport an amazing dress for the first time in decades.
4/24 188.8 (-.2) Taking the dogs out for a long walk today and then painting. Just hoping to finish this round below my starting weight. When I get tough on myself, all I need to do is check out the results from previous challenges. I’m still heading down and eventually I’ll get there.
4/25 189.2 (+.2) Crazy busy day yesterday. I was moving furniture around the house and cleaning. I have to get back to logging. I’m swimming today. Just one more day in this challenge. Hoping to be down even a little.
4/26 189.6 (+.6) While I’m disappointed not to be down, I’m thrilled to still be in the 180’s, even if it’s only by tenths of a pound. I spent 8 challenges (80 days) in the 190’s. I’m 20 days into the 180’s. Patience, grasshopper.
