    3/20 - DNW - Monday has attacked. I think things have calmed down a bit so I can function a bit better, but it was still a hectic morning. I was getting phone calls at 630! I normally don't log on until 7 and my bodyweight workout was interrupted. Fortunately I was able to finish it and get 5 minutes on the rower (in lieu of running) before another work call came in. I didn't finish rowing nor did I run or take Smoke for a walk (Harley went with BF this morning). It's nearly lunch break so, since I'm still in workout clothes, I'll take Smoke for a quick walk and shower during that break and eat lunch while working a bit later in the day. I was feeling super bloated today so I decided to forego weighing in. Too much mentally going on to add another thing right now. Will do so tomorrow. Entire weekend of posts to catch up on now so I'll be doing that during my various work breaks!

    Previous Day's Comments
    3/13 - Just like last round, I end up with a woosh on the first day and it gets me right to my goal. Hopefully this round I'll be able to maintain it and not having any big bloating days. Need to figure out how to get both bodyweight and run in. I'm about to do bodyweight but with this daylight savings time, sunrise isn't until after 7am when I have to be on the computer. I'm thinking, since almost nobody is on until after 8am, I'll hop on work for a bit, go run when it gets lighter out, and then resume work after. BF running, too, and he may run in the dark and if that's the case, I'll do that, too. I feel better with another person out there with me in the dark (wildlife, not monsters haha!!!)
    3/14 - No sudden movements or you may scare the scale back up... I figured I'd see an uptick today after a heavy dinner. I do have leftovers for lunch so tomorrow may still show an uptick, especially with chicken enchiladas for dinner tonight. Once I post, I'm doing my rowing machine sprints as cross training. I'm procrastinating due to a morning tension headache. I need a new pillow better for back sleepers (which I seem to have become in the last two weeks or so...) Anyway, much warmer inside and the pups don't feel as left out. Like last night, I'll likely take them for a walk.
    3/15 - All good. I managed to avoid a stress eating incident by allowing myself one peanut butter dark chocolate granola bar and I'm very proud of that. I'll wear this slight uptick like a badge of honor for what it really means. I was already over calories based on pre-logging lunch and dinner. I had hoped an after dinner walk and movement through day would help. Unfortunately, work popped off and I found out I had about 5-6 days worth of work to somehow finish by end of day. Working overtime about 2.5 hours, it's all on my mentor's desk (mountain time so an hour behind me) for review. Should give me plenty of time this morning to take a short hiatus for my run once the sun shows it's beautiful face. I did end up with a very short after dinner walk with pups. The cows were on the road near my turnaround point and I was unsure how cows would react to the dogs. Something's better than nothing! Assuming MFP and Fitbit estimate calories burned high, I was MFP= 300 over and Fitbit = 200 over so either slight deficit or around maintenance. MFP makes me assume, for the sake of notes to reflect on, maintenance calories for the day. Today may be another stressful work day so I'm about to try to get all that stress from yesterday knocked out with bodyweight and then with running before replenishing it hahaha. Better than doubling up on it! Hoping another evening walk with the pups. Storms forecast tomorrow so I'll really try for their sakes to get them out. They love it and I'm a sucker for those puppy dog eyes (especially since there's a true "puppy" doing them. He's gooooood at getting me to melt). Off I go for this workout!
    3/16 - Whew. I was a bit worried as I couldn't track anything last night but relied on memory to get it done this morning (I did). I just couldn't see if I was going over my calories. Ended up having a last minute bike night from the local store (where we purchased the dirtbikes. Much nicer than the motorcycle club situations. Plus female riders welcome, which is a first. Guess I better get my butt back on the bike and practice to ride into town). BF smoked a beer can chicken and baked beans so we ate before we left. But I did indulge in beer while there and hanging out which wasn't planned. It didn't make for a very restful night, though. I ended up waking up to my alarm only to come curl up on the couch until my 7am work alarm (which my desk was 2 steps away). The pups joined me which I'm sure was a sight. A full grown woman with 2 40+ pound dogs on a tiny loveseat. But it was cozy and they kept me warm since I didn't have a blanket. Today was a scheduled rest day but BF took Harley for a run and poor Smoke was whining the entire time so now I have to take him for a walk in a few once it's a little brighter. Damp and foggy but no storms, thankfully, as forecasted. No idea on dinner but lunch will likely be another salad again using up the leftover chicken from enchiladas and all those veg before they go bad.
    3/17 - No hugs, just bloated. I knew the second my alarm went off and I stood up out of bed the scale would be up. I can feel the puffiness and heaviness. Looking in the mirror only confirmed. It'll drop off today or tomorrow. Yesterday I had every computer issue you could think of and then internet went out. All is good this morning with access to everything but I have 3 deadlines today and I'm certainly not finishing them after fighting technology all day rather than making progress on work. Stress will be a huge factor. Will need to stay mindful and remind myself that it is absolutely NOT my fault. Today is bodyweight and 5k training. I'm unsure about the running, though. It's 37, feels like 26 with 35mph winds and gusts of 45-50mph. I can hear the wind right now and it sounds simply awful. Rather than catch up today and tomorrow (Week 2 day 2 and W2D3 respectively) to start Week 3 on Monday like the app is set up for, I may end up pushing it out. Tomorrow morning has a chance of snow! IN TEXAS! Nope, no slick road running for me. I have enough injuries, I don't need more! With that said, food will be a little more restricted than days with both workouts. Lunch was out yesterday so I still have salad stuff for lunch today. Unsure dinner at this point. BF is skipping workouts today due to weather so it'll be later before we determine dinner.
    3/18 - DNP
    3/19 - Yesterday I woke up to a very s%^&&* situation. Literally. One of the dogs pooed and then our robot vacuum tried to vacuum it. The entire half of the house smelled like nasty poo as it was smeared a good chunk of it and the entire vacuum had to be thrown out. I ended up not finishing my journaling because I couldn't stand to be in the room any longer (windows open at 35 degrees with fans blowing plus the smell). Didn't check in, either as my computer was in here. Didn't weight in because dogs also conveniently woke me up at 3am..... Awful day. Didn't do any of my habits yesterday and therefore also didn't weigh in today. I may not even weigh in tomorrow depending on how well today goes. Today is at least better starting off...

    ... My breakfast of champions is 1 scoop protein powder (Quest peanut butter), 1 TB chia seeds (fiber and iron) and add water to peanut butter consistency. Add 5 ounce yogurt (this component has varied from plain greek to a light yogurt), stir, then add 39 grams fiber one cereal and stir. Right there, I exceed my fiber for my day and get 46% of iron RDA (menopausal women need 50%). My coffee then has miralax added. ...

    @Smoda61 Thanks for your Breakfast of Champions recipe. I'm going to try it out.

    @Smoda61 and @clprieur Does adding fiber or Miralax to your coffee change the taste? My morning coffee with milk is sacred to me. @clprieur What fiber do you add?

    @fmfdfa2020 I know about water rower but I haven't tried one. I must try it when it comes time to get another one. What is it about the water rower that is better than say the concept2?

    @itladyee thank you for the encouragement.

    @deepwoodslady I hope your blood pressure increases soon. Do you have someone who can drive you to hospital if you need to go?
