    5: 🥙💧 I meal prep everything for the week and this week I made the mistake of making a little treat that might be nice to have as an afternoon pick me up. I made macaroons. They are delicious. Chewy. Sweet. Perfect. They are 170 calories for a tiny little cookie. After 3 days of "just one more" I'm popping those suckers in the freezer. At least it will slow me down...

    @deepwoodslady Excellent insight "Logging is invaluable for the information it continues to provide" even (and ESPECIALLY) on those days that you are out of control - and yes there will be those days.

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s


    This Challenge Starting Weight (from Feb 29th): 177.0
    Goal: 173.0 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx


    **********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************



    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    03/06-177.8-(Trend Weight 178.8)-

    03/07-177.4-(Trend Weight 178.7)- I have been flirting around in the high 170’s for the past 4 Months. If you look at my spoiler just below this post you will see that (in a different challenge} in the last 10 rounds I have lost 2.6 but in the 10 rounds prior to that I lost 17.6. So I spent some time last night going back over my MFP food diary to those dates to see what I was doing/eating that helped facilitate the 17.6 lb loss. I found I was cooking more and relying less on processed or frozen foods. Because of that my sodium counts were half of what it has been lately indicating I am probably retaining more water also. I seemed to have at least two days per week that were very low calorie between 1000 and 1200 with the rest mainly meeting my goal of around 1400. On all days my carbs were staying in my range of 80 or under. My glucose numbers were getting in better control which affects fat storage big time. I have mentally noted some of the foods I was eating and will go back to some of those menus soon. Of course there are variables, like the fact that I was still taking a water pill every other day. Other medications were slightly different. Foodie holidays were included in the 2.6 block and the winter snowy weather affected my outside activity. This confuses things a bit, but I can clearly see a difference in my diet as well. I hope that by sharing all this it will encourage others when they reach a plateau (or are finding things difficult) to look back at those diaries on good days or months and remind yourself what was working in your diet or exercise routines. Logging is invaluable for the information it continues to provide.
