๐ท๐ชปMay Starting Weight: 151.6๐ชป๐ทEach Month I write a reflection on how the month went. Here's My April Reflection if anyone wants to read:April 2024 Reflection
April was basically a frustrating weight loss month; lost 1.2 pounds. Didnโt reach my stretch or regular weight loss goal. At least it wasnโt a gain. Started off the month with indulging on Easter, then took an overnight trip to see the Eclipse and was also off plan. Then mid-month realized I had a problem with my bathroom scale โ apparently, I have been underestimating my weight for a while โ new scale new weight and it wasnโt pretty. Worked hard the last couple weeks, and at least I got down to below my starting weight โ which who knows if that was correct. For May โ my goal is to get into the 140s come hell or high water.
I have been successful with the exercise, averaging well over my 17K goal, and tracked a little over 250 miles again in April; year to date a little over 1,000; almost have way there. I am also on track for intentional miles with a little over 750 miles to date.
I have been keeping on plan with my cardio and strength routines. I alternate one day of cardio and then one day of strength. Although I do not like them much, I add one stretch type routine weekly. I have been having some trouble with some pain in my knees โ so found a stretching knee exercise that I began adding daily at the end of the month. I have an appointment with the Doctor May 1 to see what she says. Hopefully, I can continue to walk and wonโt have to take a break.
I started re-reading the first book of the Harry Potter series, along with my Hogwarts Challenge. I finished โThe Masked Cityโ and am on the third book of the Invisible Library Series โ โThe Burning Pageโ.
The next round of The Biggest Loser starts May 1. We have a full team, and I spent a lot of time in-between rounds getting ready. Looking forward to the start. The Hogwarts Challenge started; always a fun one. I rejoined Fat2Fit - I can do it.- My May Goals:
- Get into the 140 range!
- Log 150 intentional miles; and 250 in overall miles
- Alternate days of Cardio and Strength Training
- Stretch 3 days per week
- Average 17K steps per day
- Read almost every day
Here is my before and after picture for April. Not much different than last month but found a new before picture and took an after at the same spot.
May 1: 151.2 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฎME! A good day for me yesterday; got it all done and had some Me time. I love a new month - a fresh start; and so glad to be back.
May 2: 150.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง ๐ฎ ME! A nice swish - hope it stays off. Still working towards that old scale number (had to replace the old scale mid-April and the new scale was ugly and not nice). As much as I hate to say it, the new scale was right. Went to the doctor yesterday and the numbers matched to the decimal. Nice day yesterday - moved bingo night with the family to Wednesday this week. Noone won, but it is always fun.
May 3: 152.2 ๐ฃ ๐๐ฅ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฎ I should keep my mouth quiet when I have big downside - it always bites me in the butt. Busy day yesterday. Got our morning walk done, then worked in the garden most of the day. Spread the rest of the soil and turned it in. Got the carrots, potatoes, and parsnips planted. Cleaned up the screened porch which was filled with garden stuff. Exhausted, so of course binged a little - but with all the exercise today came just under my calorie limit - with binging of course went over the sodium limit.
May 4: 151.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง ๐ฎ Another busy day in the garden, also busy with a relay race in another challenge that I am in - kept me busy all day.
May 5: 151.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฎ What I expected (or a gain). Relay race for the Hogwarts challenge and the garden (finished) kept me so busy yesterday when dinnertime came I said I'm too exhausted to cook - we got subway, which has so much sodium, then I had pretzels, and cookies - ate all my exercise calories. Had two calories left for the day! I did take a beautiful walk in the morning yesterday along the Connecticut River and got this shot with the sun reflecting in the water - and they put the docks in, guess that means it's time to get the boat ready!
May 6: 150.2 ๐ ๐ ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! First smile in a while! I don't give them until I am under my last recorded low weight. Finally got under the old scale weight. Rested a little yesterday, didn't reach my step goal - but way over my 17K average goal. Tonight is bingo night with Mom- going to resist the junk!
May 7: 151 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Nice night with mom, noone won. I'm up on the scale - but was under my calorie limit and sodium limit - so thinking just normal flucuations.
May 8: 150.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Nice day yesterday - super warm. Hubby had a PT appointment so got some me time while he was gone. Monty and I snuggled on the couch and watched MY tv shows. I usually watch them on the treadmill. It was nice. The scale is kind of being stubborn - showed me a little dance on Monday - but it was just a tease. We got the boat uncovered. We were going to wash it today- but got a call from Allyson this morning - she's having trouble with her AC unit - so going over for a Daddy-Do to see what we can do to fix it (or replace).
May 9: 150.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ Ordered a new AC Unit - old one bit the dust. Busy day with the daddy-dos so had a hard tme fitting in the excercise - I felt very good about myself because I accomplished everything in my plan.
May 10: 149.8 ๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! It's temporary, but I'll take it. Today taking Mom out for Mother's Day - so expect a rise tomorrow. Going to our favorite seafood restaurant. But I have seen the 40s and they look nice!
May 11: 150.0 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฎ Nice day with Mom yesterday to celebrate Mother's day. Today going to visit Greg's cousin (actually his Mom's cousin). Greg's Mom passed quite a few years ago, and his cousin is his closest Mom figure.

I paid closer attention to my calories yesterday, drank more water, slept a full 8 hours (actually slept through my alarm this morning, pretty rare for me).
Yesterday I attacked a planter in my back yard that, admittedly, I've neglected the past couple of years. I was able to uncover the Hasta from all the weeds but a bit heartbroken that I allowed it to go fallow, because now it has English Ivy taken root in there. That stuff is as hard to kill as blackberry or Kudzu. ๐ I know it's gonna be my DIL's problem come the fall, but I didn't intend to make more work for her. So I'm thinking of digging up the Hasta and moving it to the front yard, and then churning the whole planter over with a shovel.
Today is youngest granddaughter's birthday party - she turns 2! It's a fun age. Her favorite word is POW! which to her means good/cool. ๐

05/10-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- My 64th birthday! My 64th birthday! This is also my no weigh Friday. Only 4 hours between the time I went to bed and the time I woke up which would really affect the scale. My kids have informed me that they have chipped in on a new Fitbit Charge 6 for my gift. However, there is a delay in delivery so I should have it by next week. Iโm excited about having an updated version! Yesterday: meals were on point and my exercise increased. Still struggling to put down the coffee and drink more actual water.
05/11-185.4-(Trend Weight 185.3)- I went out to dinner last night for my birthday which makes the ingredients not so healthy or controllable. Tomorrow will be out in celebration of Motherโs Day so I will have to watch what I am doing today. I have invited my foodie daughter over for dinner so at least I have control of whatโs in my recipes! Thank you all so much for all the birthday wishes. I felt very hugged, loved and celebrated!

May 1: 305.4 No water aerobics class today, as I was needed to watch my youngest grandchild (a 3 month old girl ) while my son and his fiancรฉ took care of some phone calls with the insurance company. They were rear ended by a pickup truck yesterday, (the whole rear of their car was smashed in) and thank God they came through it with only whiplash. The baby came out without a scratch, even though the back seat and her car seat were shoved all the way into the back of the front seat. They were very, very fortunate. My husband took us out to eat afterwards to a new-to-us restaurant. The food was really good, and while I ate mostly healthy and stayed under my calories for the day, I did indulge in some breaded and fried zucchini. So we'll see what that's going to cost me, when I weigh myself tomorrow.

Happy May everyone! ๐ฆ Iโm Kat and I live in rural NV with my boyfriend and 5 cats. Iโve been on a slow weight loss/fitness journey since February. This monthโs challenges will be heavy workload and stress at work and renovations and other projects around the house with 10 days off at the end of the month to focus completely on renovations. My main goal this month is to not burn myself out with so much going on! Mostly healthy meals, exercising when I have energy, and a healthy focus on emotional/mental health.

April was basically a frustrating weight loss month; lost 1.2 pounds. Didnโt reach my stretch or regular weight loss goal. At least it wasnโt a gain. Started off the month with indulging on Easter, then took an overnight trip to see the Eclipse and was also off plan. Then mid-month realized I had a problem with my bathroom scale โ apparently, I have been underestimating my weight for a while โ new scale new weight and it wasnโt pretty. Worked hard the last couple weeks, and at least I got down to below my starting weight โ which who knows if that was correct. For May โ my goal is to get into the 140s come hell or high water.
I have been successful with the exercise, averaging well over my 17K goal, and tracked a little over 250 miles again in April; year to date a little over 1,000; almost have way there. I am also on track for intentional miles with a little over 750 miles to date.
I have been keeping on plan with my cardio and strength routines. I alternate one day of cardio and then one day of strength. Although I do not like them much, I add one stretch type routine weekly. I have been having some trouble with some pain in my knees โ so found a stretching knee exercise that I began adding daily at the end of the month. I have an appointment with the Doctor May 1 to see what she says. Hopefully, I can continue to walk and wonโt have to take a break.
I started re-reading the first book of the Harry Potter series, along with my Hogwarts Challenge. I finished โThe Masked Cityโ and am on the third book of the Invisible Library Series โ โThe Burning Pageโ.
The next round of The Biggest Loser starts May 1. We have a full team, and I spent a lot of time in-between rounds getting ready. Looking forward to the start. The Hogwarts Challenge started; always a fun one. I rejoined Fat2Fit - I can do it.- My May Goals:
- Get into the 140 range!
- Log 150 intentional miles; and 250 in overall miles
- Alternate days of Cardio and Strength Training
- Stretch 3 days per week
- Average 17K steps per day
- Read almost every day
Here is my before and after picture for April. Not much different than last month but found a new before picture and took an after at the same spot.
May 1: 151.2 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฎME! A good day for me yesterday; got it all done and had some Me time. I love a new month - a fresh start; and so glad to be back.
May 2: 150.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง ๐ฎ ME! A nice swish - hope it stays off. Still working towards that old scale number (had to replace the old scale mid-April and the new scale was ugly and not nice). As much as I hate to say it, the new scale was right. Went to the doctor yesterday and the numbers matched to the decimal. Nice day yesterday - moved bingo night with the family to Wednesday this week. Noone won, but it is always fun.
May 3: 152.2 ๐ฃ ๐๐ฅ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฎ I should keep my mouth quiet when I have big downside - it always bites me in the butt. Busy day yesterday. Got our morning walk done, then worked in the garden most of the day. Spread the rest of the soil and turned it in. Got the carrots, potatoes, and parsnips planted. Cleaned up the screened porch which was filled with garden stuff. Exhausted, so of course binged a little - but with all the exercise today came just under my calorie limit - with binging of course went over the sodium limit.
May 4: 151.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง ๐ฎ Another busy day in the garden, also busy with a relay race in another challenge that I am in - kept me busy all day.
May 5: 151.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฎ What I expected (or a gain). Relay race for the Hogwarts challenge and the garden (finished) kept me so busy yesterday when dinnertime came I said I'm too exhausted to cook - we got subway, which has so much sodium, then I had pretzels, and cookies - ate all my exercise calories. Had two calories left for the day! I did take a beautiful walk in the morning yesterday along the Connecticut River and got this shot with the sun reflecting in the water - and they put the docks in, guess that means it's time to get the boat ready!
May 6: 150.2 ๐ ๐ ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! First smile in a while! I don't give them until I am under my last recorded low weight. Finally got under the old scale weight. Rested a little yesterday, didn't reach my step goal - but way over my 17K average goal. Tonight is bingo night with Mom- going to resist the junk!
May 7: 151 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Nice night with mom, noone won. I'm up on the scale - but was under my calorie limit and sodium limit - so thinking just normal flucuations.
May 8: 150.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Nice day yesterday - super warm. Hubby had a PT appointment so got some me time while he was gone. Monty and I snuggled on the couch and watched MY tv shows. I usually watch them on the treadmill. It was nice. The scale is kind of being stubborn - showed me a little dance on Monday - but it was just a tease. We got the boat uncovered. We were going to wash it today- but got a call from Allyson this morning - she's having trouble with her AC unit - so going over for a Daddy-Do to see what we can do to fix it (or replace).
May 9: 150.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ Ordered a new AC Unit - old one bit the dust. Busy day with the daddy-dos so had a hard tme fitting in the excercise - I felt very good about myself because I accomplished everything in my plan.
May 10: 149.8 ๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! It's temporary, but I'll take it. Today taking Mom out for Mother's Day - so expect a rise tomorrow. Going to our favorite seafood restaurant. But I have seen the 40s and they look nice!
May 11: 150.0 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฎ Nice day with Mom yesterday to celebrate Mother's day. Today going to visit Greg's cousin (actually his Mom's cousin). Greg's Mom passed quite a few years ago, and his cousin is his closest Mom figure.
May 12: 149.8 ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง๐ Missed my step goal, left the house at 6AM and didn't get back until 4PM - did get my workout done. I don't know how all you that work do it. I was exhausted and was just sitting chatting for 6 hours. Although I missed my step goal I did hit the 1,100 mile marker for my 2,024 in 2024 goal.
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms here!

Maybe just a sodium whoosh there, but I'll take it! I am doing better about tracking all the calories and trying to make myself drink water. I don't feel thirst, or maybe I confuse it with the munchies; either way I just usually get distracted and forget to drink anything.
Today we're headed to the trailer we'll be moving to; spending the night. I'm planning to measure all the rooms to determine what additional furniture will fit. We've had this trailer for 3 years and so we've already furnished it; don't want to crowd it with a bunch of stuff when we move there.
I don't know everyone here yet, but if you're in the USA and also a mom, I'm hoping you have a wonderful Mother's Day today.
@kebass01 hope you had a great time at the golf course yesterday. We've chased little ones around a golf course; you'll definitely get those steps in!
@deepwoodslady I hope you had a lovely time with your daughter last night.
@Rh1aB1a happy happy 10th birthday for your son.
@KountryKat you're doing great with moving the needle toward your goal! So close...
@ iLive2Walk sitting and chatting is always surprisingly draining. Great job getting back into the '40s!

May 1: 305.4 No water aerobics class today, as I was needed to watch my youngest grandchild (a 3 month old girl ) while my son and his fiancรฉ took care of some phone calls with the insurance company. They were rear ended by a pickup truck yesterday, (the whole rear of their car was smashed in) and thank God they came through it with only whiplash. The baby came out without a scratch, even though the back seat and her car seat were shoved all the way into the back of the front seat. They were very, very fortunate. My husband took us out to eat afterwards to a new-to-us restaurant. The food was really good, and while I ate mostly healthy and stayed under my calories for the day, I did indulge in some breaded and fried zucchini. So we'll see what that's going to cost me, when I weigh myself tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be out in celebration of Motherโs Day so I will have to watch what I am doing today. I have invited my foodie daughter over for dinner so at least I have control of whatโs in my recipes! Thank you all so much for all the birthday wishes. I felt very hugged, loved and celebrated! What wonderful gifts to have!
05/12-185.4-(Trend Weight 185.4)- We are driving out to a restaurant on Lake Huron today which is a bit of a drive. The water should be lovely because of our beautiful blue skies today and the Motherโs Day Buffet will be delish. I expect the scale will go up tomorrow but I can handle it. Iโm going to wear sandals that I can remove and walk along the waterโs edge. I have a house full of fresh flowers thanks to the kids. I feel so grateful and appreciated! Happy Motherโs Day everyone!

Happy May everyone! ๐ฆ Iโm Kat and I live in rural NV with my boyfriend and 5 cats. Iโve been on a slow weight loss/fitness journey since February. This monthโs challenges will be heavy workload and stress at work and renovations and other projects around the house with 10 days off at the end of the month to focus completely on renovations. My main goal this month is to not burn myself out with so much going on! Mostly healthy meals, exercising when I have energy, and a healthy focus on emotional/mental health.
