May 25- 202.5- I did not work out yesterday, I needed a day off and my schedule was crammed. The frustrating part is that I was only 59 calories over my daily goal of 1400.(which was one of the best days I have had yet) , I did indulge even with a 350 calories cupcake and a cocktail before dinner. So maybe that did me in..
This is my typical pattern.. It seems like if I don't work out daily the weight just doesn't come off in spite of the low calories. Today , looks like I have to get back on the bike and eliptical.1 -

Two pounds to go in a little under a week….i will have to be very careful this long weekend. I did my 1 hour workout yesterday and then ate chipotle lol. That’s all I ate for the day though bc it’s so delicious and my entire calories for the day bc they have amazing tortillas. Hoping tomorrow we go to a friends pool so I can get some different leisurely exercise in, and then we plan on yard work Monday. Just have to stay away from the fridge lol.1 -

Honestly, I don't know why I'm losing, but I'll take it. I don't feel I'm doing things differently from a week ago. The scale actually told me 209.8 this morning, but there's no way. Next two readings were 210.4 so I went with that.0 -
@HappyDonkey75 I'm so happy for your success and glad that the group is helping you stay on track! I totally understand your motivation. I want to be out of the obese category myself. May we both continue in our desired direction.
@SofaKween You're doing great -- even with the Friday night! Keep going!
@kellyswimmer You're doing great - I think both of our scales are trying to shift our mindset to see a lower number.
Congrats on surpassing your month's goal! 1 -

This is disappointing . I did a pretty hard work out yesterday, had a good breakfast with two hard boiled eggs , I piece of toast and some berries. T hen was active all day with garden and farm work (shoving manure , hand mowing, weeding, walking up and down the hill to the barns repeatedly.. etc) . Didn’t have one sugar cheat but did have a large dinner . I was STARVING by the time I got in the house and made my own version of Chipotle beef /black bean brown rice bowl.. I didn't have any fresh lettuce to sub in and ended up mounding up too much rice and red meat. When I logged , it was surprisingly 1200 calories. (ooph, its eye opening to see how things really add up)
Will focus on pushing water again today (didn't drink enough yesterday) and maybe sub in a protein shake for lunch instead of any meal.
I feel like this is such a game to try to trick myself and outsmart my body that seems to want to be fat!

So we had Chinese food yesterday for lunch -- if you need proof of how sodium shows up on the scale, there it is. Wasn't happy to see that, and wasn't going to post, but realized that's just stupid. My husband and I wanted Chinese food. We had it -- and it was really good. I didn't have dinner.
@HappyDonkey75 If the scale is your only measure of how you're doing, it's likely going to be a frustrating ride. Just like I'm showing above -- I didn't gain 2 lbs overnight. It's water retention due to sodium. But it shows up on the scale this way. It's misleading. If you see your weight loss on a graph, it's a much different visual. Your 6.5 lb loss for you in two weeks is outstanding. But there are going to be plateaus where it doesn't go down or it goes up due to food, cycles, lack of sleep, medications, etc. And you can't skip life in this -- there will be vacations, birthdays, special occasions where you're going to have other foods. This is all part of the process. So be patient with yourself. You are doing the work and making really good progress. 💛1 -

Chugging a long 1.2 pounds to go in 4 days. Pushing hard and really watching what I eat, drinking a lot of water. We did yard work yesterday then went to a friends for ribs and potato salad while the kids played in a water slide. Held myself to 2 ribs and a half cup of potato salad then a protein yogurt when I got home. Heading to a pool cook out later today where we are doing burgers, chicken, and the sides. Hoping I can sneak in some water workout while chit chatting and then no bun with my burger if I go that route.4 -

Excellent work, @kebass01 - I'm so happy you are seeing such success! @kellyswimmer and @SofaKween, like you I am still waiting for Saturday's sodium to fall away. We were back to salad and chicken yesterday, and planning the same today. Light lunch today too. I'm hoping to see it drop back to 210 or below, so I can log a loss for the month.

May 28th 202.3- Back up we go.. not entirely unexpected but I am not going to let this discourage me.. I was relatively active over the weekend but still not having the energy I once remember having. I seem to need to take breaks and recoop after a couple of hours of working here around the place doing physical activity. I tried to go on a hike with hills but my elderly dog ran out of gas pretty quickly so we only walked for about 30 minutes. In the afternoon I got the cravings for salty/sweet and ate a few snacks.. about 300 calories worth. Then SO came home from his trip and we went to the brewery early evening. I had two beers but then we ate dinner at home. I was so so tired late afternoon /evening.. I felt completely wiped out and went to be very early.

Confession time – I did not do the workout I promised yesterday
. In my defence I have a craft fair to prepare for on Saturday and lost track of time making up some stock. Today it is less likely to rain so I will at least get out for a much needed walk.
@kellyswimmer - you have my sympathy, I remember well the stress of those A level years and children spreading their independent wings.

Cycle showed up early, so that explains a few things going on. Specialist visit yesterday at least ruled out that I have something that requires surgery, but I'm simply in it for a long wait for whatever is wrong --and they couldn't tell me what was wrong, to heal. They want me to keep moving, so I got back on the treadmill yesterday (I did 1 mile, took a break, then did a second mile) and by last night I was in so much pain I took more over the counter meds than usual. I think the treadmill is making this worse, so I'll try to go outside and walk if it's not storming as predicted, or do a walk inside routine. I am honestly afraid to try my stationary bike. I don't think I can pedal with my left leg, even if I dial the resistance low.
@SofaKween I didn't know you are a maker -- I am too, but only sell online. Wishing you lots of luck as you build up inventory for your show.
Hang in there, @kellyswimmer .
I bet your daughter is so excited for new adventures. While I'm sure it's stressful, try to think about the FUN she's going to have. I wasn't allowed to do anything like that when I was younger, and really wish I'd had a chance to experience travel more. Sending you some positive energy.
@HappyDonkey75 I'm glad you're still keeping with it, and it sounds like you did a lot this weekend trying to stay active. Being outside and either doing yard work or walking zaps my energy more than working out indoors for some reason. It feels great getting out, but it's definitely a different vibe afterward. Are you taking any extra supplements like a multivitamin now that you're moving more? I'm wondering if that would help any?

0.6 to go in two days. I think I got this but I also just want to eat everything currently. Walked 3 miles yesterday bc I was super sore from the yard work and tired from the long weekend. Going to try to run a bit at lunch time, but we will see how motivated I feel. I’m just drained. 2 more days!2 -
You're doing great, @kebass01 ! I hope you have a good run today.0
