I have a chronic back injury limiting how I exercise and am recovering from a sprained ankle. So I have to be creative with exercise.
My main problem is pain and emotional eating, because food fixes everything (if only)
I have made this journey many times in my life, and hope to someday make it a permanent lifestyle change. My longest run maintaining a healthy weight was 9 yrs and then my world fell apart in 2015 leading to my highest weight of 203, and I have yo yo'd the same 30-50 lbs over and over again since then.
Im tried of feeling sick and tired, my health is now being effected so it's time for a serious change.
I know what I have to do, I just need to do it and stick to it!!!!

Continue slow and steady lifestyle changes....

I'm struggling with the scale. I know I'm building muscle and still having trouble with my bowels. And I'm still seeing positive changes in my body, the way my clothes fit and how good I'm feeling. But the stupid scale, trying not to pay it any attention, but boy is it hard, some mornings I just want to give up, but I won't!!!!! 🙏

Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. I found MFP in March and this group in April. Almost a year with some of these amazing people. 💖I wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. 💖

March starting weight: 156.8
🍃🪁 MARCH 🪁🍃March 01: 156.4 😁 👣 📝 💪 💦 Busy day yesterday. For Christmas my husband makes a Daddy-Do list for Allyson. This year she wanted to convert her coat closet into a pantry. We got that done yesterday. I spent the day handing tools (kind of felt like a dental hygenist- LOL). In the down time, I helped her with her taxes. Spent most of the day there, had take-out for lunch. I did get my walk in before we went, and did a strength train session when we got home. I am tracking differently this month, so I went over my calorie limit a little if I don't count my exercise. Was happy with the scale today.Mar 15: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Tough day yesterday - hit the chips in the afternoon - but pulled myself together and ended the day strong. Had a light dinner instead of what I had planned to make it under - but nutritionally not the best day.
March 2: 156.8 👣 📝 🫀💦Quiet day yesterday. Made some chili for dinner, the uptick is probably sodium. Figuring out this new tracking, it is really hard to stay under without my exercise. But I'll give it a try for a week to see how things go. I was very hungry, and had a protein bar late in the day which put me over.
March 3: 156.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Nice Saturday. Started the day with a 3 mile walk at our favorite trail. Started to sprinkle a little as we finished. It was kind of refreshing. Make a wonderful pot of chicken soup (I just love soup), and homemade bread for dinner. Cut back on the salt - it was delicious. I watched an episode of Skin Tight last night - don't ask me why - but I couldn't change the channel. It was so scary. Loose skin was/is a really big fear for me. I guess I came away feeling pretty good - as mine is NOWHERE near what they are experiencing and my hubby was wonderful - telling me I look fabulous!
March 4: 156.8 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 It was a beautiful weekend in Connecticut, warm and sunny. Spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sunshine. It had a very busy week - of doing nothing! Don't know where the time goes - but life is just flying by.
March 5: 156 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦Another nice day in Connecticut, got in a 4-mile walk in the morning instead of our usual 3-miles. Bingo night with Mom - and didn't munch on any of the NUMEROUS snacks that they put on the table. Didn't win (I rarely do), but a good night. Mom was in good spirits - although gets quite frustrated when she doesn't win.
March 6: 155.6 😁 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 🫀💦 I gave myself a smile for the weight loss, but it was a sad day. A colleague from my old work place passed away. Heart attack at 50; he was one of those that you just had to love. Quirky, a wonderful sense of humor, treated everyone with respect, hardworking, and was so appreciative of anything you did for him. He will be missed on this earth by all who knew him.
March 7: 155.4 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Don't know where the day went yesterday - just flew by. We got our outside walk in before the raindrops, which was nice. Then before I knew it the day was over. Life is just "March"ing by and I'm try to catch up. Today I will focus on what I am doing instead of letting life just plass me buy.
March 8: 154.8 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm doing the hard 75 challenge, in the challenge you are supposed to take a selfie every day. I just wanted to point out how important it is to take these on throughout your weight loss journey. I NEVER took pictures of myself. It was really hard to find a before picture. In the beginning of my journey I also didn't take any. Those around me (and myself) didn't see much difference because I've been taking it off real slow and they (and I) saw me every day. It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
Mar 9: 154.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Mar 10: 154.2 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦Yesterday was our monthly visit to see Greg's 90+ year old cousin. Gone most of the day - but couldn't sleep the night before so got up at 3AM and jumped on the treadmill - at least I go my steps in. We eat out - so expected a up-tick today due to the sodium and lack of water while there - but I drank it all when we got home, so think that worked. I ate a very small dinner and made it under my calorie goal.
Mar 11: 154.2📝 🥗 💪 💦 Missed my step goal, got up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep and had a snack. It has been logged - determined to work it off today (or eat light). I don't want to jeopardize my success the past week. I can do it!
Mar 12: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm ok with hanging out at this number - but three days is enough. Time to make it move today (in the right direction) I didn't make it to Bingo with Mom last night - started out and then about 10 miles in there was a tree that fell across the road - couldn't get past it. I live on the other side of the Connecticut River from my Mom, and there not too many bridges that cross it. The tree fell on my side of the river - so would add another 40 minutes to my already hour drive to get there. I went home!
Mar 13: 154.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Should have kept my mouth quiet. But I kind of figured it would go up a little. Made this delicious beef vegetable soup - and the sodium gets me every time. But I live soup and needed to clean out all the veggies in the fridge. It's temporary!
Mar 14: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 There is that number again! 😆 Got our seedlings planted yesterday. Beautiful weather - hope it stays for a long time!
Mar 16: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀 💦 And there it is again!
Mar 17: 🍀😁153.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Happy Saint Patrick's Day! And there was the woosh I was looking for. I didn't do anything different - so I guess the persistance just finally paid off. Did take a hike in a new place. We have done the lower part of this trail when I first started walking - but it get's real steep and climbs up a small mountain (ok a hill) so we turned around. Yesterday we decided to do it. According to my garmin we ascented 432 feet! Here's Monty and me at the covered bridge at the bottom of the trail - it crosses the Salmon River. I'm beat as this is as we completed the 3 miles.

@iLive2Walk : what a great milestone, you look fantastic (as does Monty!)3

Jude, 66 YO, 5' 2". Highest weight 165, lowest 115. Looking to change my relationship to food to one that's healthy and sustainable.
March goals:
* broaden my scope of healthy meals to include more substantial plant based recipes

@Melwillbehealthy I noticed your weight fluctuating around your doctor appointment. That happens to me ALL THE TIME, in fact, it is almost guaranteed. For me it is self sabotage. Sometimes I gain some just before the appointment sabotaging my plan to really show my doctor how well I am Consistently doing. And almost ALWAYS I sabotage myself after an appointment as I feel that I can now get away with it and doctor will never know. I always feel shame, disgust and utterly weak after this happens. I don't know how to stop the cycle. In the meantime, I just hop back on my plan as soon as I can and not let it derail me for too long, if possible. Someday I hope to conquer this pattern and live life in a much healthier way. But in the meantime, I just move forward as quickly as I can. I don't know if this is your issue, you would have to look back at your patterns, but no matter what the cause, just move forward and know that you have the strength to turn things around whenever you need to. {{{hugs}}} to you.2 -
@iLive2Walk What a great pic of you and Monte! Congratulations for the new milestone in your journey. That mountain "hill" sounds tough but you did it, my friend!1

03/16-181.2-(Trend Weight 180.4)- No progress at all. Meals were on par but the snacks were too much of a good thing. It makes me feel like I’m paddling like hell but getting nowhere. I think I have begun to eat my dinner a little too early again leaving too much time for nighttime snacks and bingeing. It would be better to have a snack earlier in the day and a later dinner. I think the calories would be more controlled that way. Time to experiment and possible tweak.
03/17-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I was woke up by my oldest daughter this morning who needed to borrow my pickup truck to pick up something she found on facebook marketplace. I ended up not getting a weigh-in before coffee. Yesterday lacked exercise again but the diet was okay. I did have some skittles and smarties from Easter candy my other daughter (foodie daughter) brought in but I don’t think it was enough to throw off my whole day. I guess we’ll see tomorrow. Have a great Sunday!

I'm so excited to be back for March- hello to everyone! 😊 I'm Kat, 32, 5'1". I have 5 cats and live in the country. I think March will be cold and windy here, but I'm happy to be moving towards warmer days.
Start Weight: 122.6 | Feb. Loss: 5.4lbs | Goal Weight: 100-110 (I'll know when I get closer and may switch to measurements)

3/16: 115.8 I’m always surprised at the days I lose the most. I was nervous about taking my cat back to the vet(everything was fine, trying a special diet) and didn’t make the best food choices yesterday. Maybe the extra calories can be good sometimes?? Starting my day late today so I’ll have to get in some morning protein and nutrition.
3/17: 116.0 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Yesterday went off the rails and I didn’t eat at all until 2pm and then it was just a race to stop feeling woozy. I feel good today and will probably grill for the holiday as well as make more Irish soda bread biscuits to bring to work which get eaten up quickly so there shouldn’t be temping leftovers!5 -
So I did an experiment last week - just a coincidence or does the math actually work - what do you think? Will continue the experiment for a few more weeks and see what it tells me! The daily flucuations did NOT work. I guessing it will show that persistence is the key to success.
I took my resting calories calcuated by Garmin, added my exercise calculated - subtracted my food consumed on MFP. I then took the difference and divided by 3,500 (calories in a pound). According to the math - I should have had a 1.6 pound loss. Low and behold - lost 1.6 pounds this week!

@deepwoodslady thanks for your personal insight. You may be right about the doctor. He was very happy with my progress concerning my blood work and weight loss, and my reaction was weird.
Going to spend tomorrow night in the hospital for a sleep study. I’ve been putting this test off for a long time, but finally doing it. Makes me a little nervous even though I don’t think anything is wrong. Doctor is just being thorough.3 -

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...

I have a chronic back injury limiting how I exercise and am recovering from a sprained ankle. So I have to be creative with exercise.
My main problem is pain and emotional eating, because food fixes everything (if only)
I have made this journey many times in my life, and hope to someday make it a permanent lifestyle change. My longest run maintaining a healthy weight was 9 yrs and then my world fell apart in 2015 leading to my highest weight of 203, and I have yo yo'd the same 30-50 lbs over and over again since then.
Im tried of feeling sick and tired, my health is now being effected so it's time for a serious change.
I know what I have to do, I just need to do it and stick to it!!!!

Continue slow and steady lifestyle changes....

I'm struggling with the scale. I know I'm building muscle and still having trouble with my bowels. And I'm still seeing positive changes in my body, the way my clothes fit and how good I'm feeling. But the stupid scale, trying not to pay it any attention, but boy is it hard, some mornings I just want to give up, but I won't!!!!! 🙏

Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. I found MFP in March and this group in April. Almost a year with some of these amazing people. 💖I wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. 💖
My Goals for March
⚖️ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal), but happy with any loss
👣 17k Steps Daily with one day of rest
📝 Log Daily
🥗 Stay under my calorie range
💪 Strength Train 3 days per week
🧘♀️ Tai Chi or Yoga 1 day per week
🫀 Aerobics 3 days per week
💦 6+ glasses of water
👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 🫀💦

March starting weight: 156.8
🍃🪁 MARCH 🪁🍃March 01: 156.4 😁 👣 📝 💪 💦 Busy day yesterday. For Christmas my husband makes a Daddy-Do list for Allyson. This year she wanted to convert her coat closet into a pantry. We got that done yesterday. I spent the day handing tools (kind of felt like a dental hygenist- LOL). In the down time, I helped her with her taxes. Spent most of the day there, had take-out for lunch. I did get my walk in before we went, and did a strength train session when we got home. I am tracking differently this month, so I went over my calorie limit a little if I don't count my exercise. Was happy with the scale today.Mar 15: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Tough day yesterday - hit the chips in the afternoon - but pulled myself together and ended the day strong. Had a light dinner instead of what I had planned to make it under - but nutritionally not the best day.
March 2: 156.8 👣 📝 🫀💦Quiet day yesterday. Made some chili for dinner, the uptick is probably sodium. Figuring out this new tracking, it is really hard to stay under without my exercise. But I'll give it a try for a week to see how things go. I was very hungry, and had a protein bar late in the day which put me over.
March 3: 156.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Nice Saturday. Started the day with a 3 mile walk at our favorite trail. Started to sprinkle a little as we finished. It was kind of refreshing. Make a wonderful pot of chicken soup (I just love soup), and homemade bread for dinner. Cut back on the salt - it was delicious. I watched an episode of Skin Tight last night - don't ask me why - but I couldn't change the channel. It was so scary. Loose skin was/is a really big fear for me. I guess I came away feeling pretty good - as mine is NOWHERE near what they are experiencing and my hubby was wonderful - telling me I look fabulous!
March 4: 156.8 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 It was a beautiful weekend in Connecticut, warm and sunny. Spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sunshine. It had a very busy week - of doing nothing! Don't know where the time goes - but life is just flying by.
March 5: 156 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦Another nice day in Connecticut, got in a 4-mile walk in the morning instead of our usual 3-miles. Bingo night with Mom - and didn't munch on any of the NUMEROUS snacks that they put on the table. Didn't win (I rarely do), but a good night. Mom was in good spirits - although gets quite frustrated when she doesn't win.
March 6: 155.6 😁 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 🫀💦 I gave myself a smile for the weight loss, but it was a sad day. A colleague from my old work place passed away. Heart attack at 50; he was one of those that you just had to love. Quirky, a wonderful sense of humor, treated everyone with respect, hardworking, and was so appreciative of anything you did for him. He will be missed on this earth by all who knew him.
March 7: 155.4 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Don't know where the day went yesterday - just flew by. We got our outside walk in before the raindrops, which was nice. Then before I knew it the day was over. Life is just "March"ing by and I'm try to catch up. Today I will focus on what I am doing instead of letting life just plass me buy.
March 8: 154.8 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm doing the hard 75 challenge, in the challenge you are supposed to take a selfie every day. I just wanted to point out how important it is to take these on throughout your weight loss journey. I NEVER took pictures of myself. It was really hard to find a before picture. In the beginning of my journey I also didn't take any. Those around me (and myself) didn't see much difference because I've been taking it off real slow and they (and I) saw me every day. It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
Mar 9: 154.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Mar 10: 154.2 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦Yesterday was our monthly visit to see Greg's 90+ year old cousin. Gone most of the day - but couldn't sleep the night before so got up at 3AM and jumped on the treadmill - at least I go my steps in. We eat out - so expected a up-tick today due to the sodium and lack of water while there - but I drank it all when we got home, so think that worked. I ate a very small dinner and made it under my calorie goal.
Mar 11: 154.2📝 🥗 💪 💦 Missed my step goal, got up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep and had a snack. It has been logged - determined to work it off today (or eat light). I don't want to jeopardize my success the past week. I can do it!
Mar 12: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm ok with hanging out at this number - but three days is enough. Time to make it move today (in the right direction) I didn't make it to Bingo with Mom last night - started out and then about 10 miles in there was a tree that fell across the road - couldn't get past it. I live on the other side of the Connecticut River from my Mom, and there not too many bridges that cross it. The tree fell on my side of the river - so would add another 40 minutes to my already hour drive to get there. I went home!
Mar 13: 154.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Should have kept my mouth quiet. But I kind of figured it would go up a little. Made this delicious beef vegetable soup - and the sodium gets me every time. But I live soup and needed to clean out all the veggies in the fridge. It's temporary!
Mar 14: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 There is that number again! 😆 Got our seedlings planted yesterday. Beautiful weather - hope it stays for a long time!
Mar 16: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀 💦 And there it is again!
Mar 17: 🍀😁153.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Happy Saint Patrick's Day! And there was the woosh I was looking for. I didn't do anything different - so I guess the persistance just finally paid off. Did take a hike in a new place. We have done the lower part of this trail when I first started walking - but it get's real steep and climbs up a small mountain (ok a hill) so we turned around. Yesterday we decided to do it. According to my garmin we ascented 432 feet! Here's Monty and me at the covered bridge at the bottom of the trail - it crosses the Salmon River. I'm beat as this is as we completed the 3 miles.Mar 18: 153😁 👣 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 🫀💦 Just another quiet day at home - took a walk in AM and hung around the house the rest of the day. I have been on a motivation roll lately and it shows on the scale. I have tracked and stayed under my calorie range every day in March. I wondered why - then it hit me. I haven't had any social situations in March. No out to dinner, no parties, no trips, even missed Bingo a couple weeks. Just plain day to day life - kind of boring - but I'll take it this month. I got in a yoga workout yesterday (not my favorite) and a 10 minute cardio. This was a fun one that someone on my Biggest Loser Team suggested.

Please join me for the next round of the Biggest Loser Challenge . If you are looking for something to help you keep accountable or motivated and have some fun at the same time - look no further. This challenge has been a key factor in my success. The next round starts on May 1, but you can register now through April 17. If you join now, you can take part in the break challenge that starts March 27. I am the captain of the Determined Desert Tortoises (so I am biased that it is the best team), but there are other teams too. Each has a different focus. The Determined Desert Tortoises focus is like the story of the Tortoise and the Hare - slow and steady wins the race; I would love for you to join us. They are a wonderful group, sharing great ideas, support, motivation, and accountability in such a nonjudgmental way. As you know I am also in the Hogwarts challenge (which will also start again soon), but this one is a LOT less intense.

3/17: 116.0 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Yesterday went off the rails and I didn’t eat at all until 2pm and then it was just a race to stop feeling woozy. I feel good today and will probably grill for the holiday as well as make more Irish soda bread biscuits to bring to work which get eaten up quickly so there shouldn’t be temping leftovers!
3/18: 116.6 I didn’t think I was too off track yesterday, but something clearly isn’t working. I think I’ll have to go back to tracking calories…I hate the headspace it puts me in and I get very obsessive and competitive with myself, but I’m just not seeing consistent results without it. I might look into some of these upcoming challenges though since I thrive on reward!5 -

03/17-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I was woke up by my oldest daughter this morning who needed to borrow my pickup truck to pick up something she found on facebook marketplace. I ended up not getting a weigh-in before coffee. Yesterday lacked exercise again but the diet was okay. I did have some skittles and smarties from Easter candy my other daughter (foodie daughter) brought in but I don’t think it was enough to throw off my whole day. I guess we’ll see tomorrow. Have a great Sunday!
03/18-180.4-(Trend Weight 180.4)- Down almost one pound so I am happy to see that. It’s unusual for my scale weight and my trend weight to be exactly the same. I’ve got to get that trend weight trending back down or I’ll never get out of the 170’s and get to cross off pink and get to purple on my chart above. What a glorious day that would be. I haven’t weighed in the 160’s in about 25 years!

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...

🍃🪁 MARCH 🪁🍃March 01: 156.4 😁 👣 📝 💪 💦 Busy day yesterday. For Christmas my husband makes a Daddy-Do list for Allyson. This year she wanted to convert her coat closet into a pantry. We got that done yesterday. I spent the day handing tools (kind of felt like a dental hygenist- LOL). In the down time, I helped her with her taxes. Spent most of the day there, had take-out for lunch. I did get my walk in before we went, and did a strength train session when we got home. I am tracking differently this month, so I went over my calorie limit a little if I don't count my exercise. Was happy with the scale today.Mar 15: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Tough day yesterday - hit the chips in the afternoon - but pulled myself together and ended the day strong. Had a light dinner instead of what I had planned to make it under - but nutritionally not the best day.
March 2: 156.8 👣 📝 🫀💦Quiet day yesterday. Made some chili for dinner, the uptick is probably sodium. Figuring out this new tracking, it is really hard to stay under without my exercise. But I'll give it a try for a week to see how things go. I was very hungry, and had a protein bar late in the day which put me over.
March 3: 156.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Nice Saturday. Started the day with a 3 mile walk at our favorite trail. Started to sprinkle a little as we finished. It was kind of refreshing. Make a wonderful pot of chicken soup (I just love soup), and homemade bread for dinner. Cut back on the salt - it was delicious. I watched an episode of Skin Tight last night - don't ask me why - but I couldn't change the channel. It was so scary. Loose skin was/is a really big fear for me. I guess I came away feeling pretty good - as mine is NOWHERE near what they are experiencing and my hubby was wonderful - telling me I look fabulous!
March 4: 156.8 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 It was a beautiful weekend in Connecticut, warm and sunny. Spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sunshine. It had a very busy week - of doing nothing! Don't know where the time goes - but life is just flying by.
March 5: 156 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦Another nice day in Connecticut, got in a 4-mile walk in the morning instead of our usual 3-miles. Bingo night with Mom - and didn't munch on any of the NUMEROUS snacks that they put on the table. Didn't win (I rarely do), but a good night. Mom was in good spirits - although gets quite frustrated when she doesn't win.
March 6: 155.6 😁 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 🫀💦 I gave myself a smile for the weight loss, but it was a sad day. A colleague from my old work place passed away. Heart attack at 50; he was one of those that you just had to love. Quirky, a wonderful sense of humor, treated everyone with respect, hardworking, and was so appreciative of anything you did for him. He will be missed on this earth by all who knew him.
March 7: 155.4 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Don't know where the day went yesterday - just flew by. We got our outside walk in before the raindrops, which was nice. Then before I knew it the day was over. Life is just "March"ing by and I'm try to catch up. Today I will focus on what I am doing instead of letting life just plass me buy.
March 8: 154.8 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm doing the hard 75 challenge, in the challenge you are supposed to take a selfie every day. I just wanted to point out how important it is to take these on throughout your weight loss journey. I NEVER took pictures of myself. It was really hard to find a before picture. In the beginning of my journey I also didn't take any. Those around me (and myself) didn't see much difference because I've been taking it off real slow and they (and I) saw me every day. It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
Mar 9: 154.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Mar 10: 154.2 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦Yesterday was our monthly visit to see Greg's 90+ year old cousin. Gone most of the day - but couldn't sleep the night before so got up at 3AM and jumped on the treadmill - at least I go my steps in. We eat out - so expected a up-tick today due to the sodium and lack of water while there - but I drank it all when we got home, so think that worked. I ate a very small dinner and made it under my calorie goal.
Mar 11: 154.2📝 🥗 💪 💦 Missed my step goal, got up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep and had a snack. It has been logged - determined to work it off today (or eat light). I don't want to jeopardize my success the past week. I can do it!
Mar 12: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm ok with hanging out at this number - but three days is enough. Time to make it move today (in the right direction) I didn't make it to Bingo with Mom last night - started out and then about 10 miles in there was a tree that fell across the road - couldn't get past it. I live on the other side of the Connecticut River from my Mom, and there not too many bridges that cross it. The tree fell on my side of the river - so would add another 40 minutes to my already hour drive to get there. I went home!
Mar 13: 154.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Should have kept my mouth quiet. But I kind of figured it would go up a little. Made this delicious beef vegetable soup - and the sodium gets me every time. But I live soup and needed to clean out all the veggies in the fridge. It's temporary!
Mar 14: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 There is that number again! 😆 Got our seedlings planted yesterday. Beautiful weather - hope it stays for a long time!
Mar 16: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀 💦 And there it is again!
Mar 17: 🍀😁153.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Happy Saint Patrick's Day! And there was the woosh I was looking for. I didn't do anything different - so I guess the persistance just finally paid off. Did take a hike in a new place. We have done the lower part of this trail when I first started walking - but it get's real steep and climbs up a small mountain (ok a hill) so we turned around. Yesterday we decided to do it. According to my garmin we ascented 432 feet! Here's Monty and me at the covered bridge at the bottom of the trail - it crosses the Salmon River. I'm beat as this is as we completed the 3 miles.Mar 18: 153😁 👣 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 🫀💦 Just another quiet day at home - took a walk in AM and hung around the house the rest of the day. I have been on a motivation roll lately and it shows on the scale. I have tracked and stayed under my calorie range every day in March. I wondered why - then it hit me. I haven't had any social situations in March. No out to dinner, no parties, no trips, even missed Bingo a couple weeks. Just plain day to day life - kind of boring - but I'll take it this month. I got in a yoga workout yesterday (not my favorite) and a 10 minute cardio.This was a fun one that someone on my Biggest Loser Team suggested.Mar 19: 154.2 👣 🥗 💪 💦 Salty day, over on my calorie goal, brownie at Bingo put me back to that number again. Today will be a hard day - going to a funeral this morning; my best friend's sister passed away so will be away all day. Going to jump on the treadmill before we go, but getting my step goal may be a stretch today.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vTTXIqUbJM
