9/10: 223.4 .......Went to an ice cream social last night at church. Had more ice cream than people; now I have 1 1/2 half gallons of ice cream in my freezer!
9/11: 223.8 ........... Brought my grandson a Lil Caesar's pizza yesterday, but when I got
home, his mother had picked him up, so the 1 slice I had eaten turned into 3! I mean, somebody's got to eat it, right! Oh, did I mention the ice cream? Well, there's only one half gallon left now! The Wellness Ctr. wasn't open this morning because of Irma, so I didn't get my workout! What can I say? That's life; and life goes on! Tomorrow the pizza will be gone, cookies & cream is not my favorite ice cream, the center will be open again, and things will be back to normal! Look out 220, here I come! LET'S MAKE SEPTEMBER A MONTH TO REMEMBER!!!

9/15: 221.5.........Awwww, looka there now; didn't I tell ya I was gonna make it!!! Oh, yes I Did!
I have two funerals this weekend - one Saturday and one Sunday, and both of them are close kin! That means food, food, and more FOOD! The five hour drive alone will make me hold fluid! Well, what can I say? I SURE HOPE THEY HAVE SALAD (AND I DON'T MEAN POTATO)!!!

10 Day Goal: Can I make it to 154?
Day/Weight/Comment
9/10- 155.98 Running around doing errands all day. Didn't manage anything but a granola bar until dinner. Ate a big bowl of Tomato, Veggie, Barley Soup with half a pressed grilled cheese and feel stuffed. Quite a bit under calories, but will attempt a healthy snack later. What do others do when they haven't even hit 1000 calories and it is past bedtime?
9/11- 155.54 The weather here had been pretty ugly today making it difficult to feel motivated to do much. I've ate plenty healthy, but I'm having difficulty getting back to exercising.
9/12- 155.54 Planned to go walking while my son was at rowing, but it was raining. Maintaining calories, but seriously need to push the exercise. ugg
9/13- 155.76 Slight increase, but feeling heavy today like yesterday's food is still sat in my stomach. Need to up water and activity.
9/14- 155.1 Getting so close to saying goodbye to 155. Had a meeting at my son's school which usually means going out to dinner, but I planned ahead and had dinner waiting in the crockpot when we finished instead.
9/15 155.32 Keeping falling asleep before posting. Weight loss is slower this round, but I am maintaining my calories. I'm still happy with my progress, but would love to see 154.XX on the scale.
9/16 Didn't weigh today and not looking forward to tomorrows weigh in. We went out with friends for drinks and then stopped off for fast food on the way home. I planned ahead and had lots of extra calories available before going out, but not certain if it was adequate for both. Tomorrow is a new day.

9/13 choose not to weigh. Had a horrible day yesterday of binge eating. :-/ But I'm on track today. One day at a time.
9/14 181.5 I don't really know why I'm binge eating. My husband is gone for at least 3 days every week and that's usually when I do it. I am so embarrassed and humiliated over my binge eating. You all are the only people who know I do it. My sweet husband knows I've done it in the past but I haven't told him about my recent 'episodes.' I get in these kinda depressed states and then binge, feel HORRIBLE, then do it again!! Besides getting trigger foods out of the house, I'm going to make it more public. I'm just going to keep track of how long I can go without a lapse. Thanks for listening.
9/15 180.0

Special focus: Trying new at home exercises on my non-gym days.
Daily Goals: Log all food, 3L of water, 10k steps, Multi-vitamin
MWS Goals: 25 mins Cardio, Strength Training
Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 26 264.4
The bounce back up. I am learning my body will bounce around for several days and then drop again. Goals met. Tried out a 15-minute exercise video on YouTube. I will add it to my routine on my non-gym days for this round.
9/11 263.6
Goals met. I had a really good day at the gym. I pushed myself harder during cardio and I lifted more weight in my strength training circuit.
9/12 261.6
Today is 2 months since I started logging my calories and making changes in relation to food and exercise. This isn’t the first time, but this time is permanent. I made these changes not because I knew I should, for someone else, etc. Not that any of those reasons are bad; they just weren’t good enough for me to make permanent changes. I made them because I no longer wanted to mistreat my body; I had a reality check of how my life would be if I continued. I went to the gym on my non-gym day. I didn’t push myself and just stretched everything out to help some of the soreness. I met all my goals except taking my vitamins. Oops.
9/13 262.0
I expected this for two reasons: 1) It was the second woosh in less than a week and 2) I am having some soreness. I am super happy with this number. Goals met. It was a good day at the gym. I had so much going on I thought about skipping and going tomorrow, but then I realized I just needed to go.
9/14 261.0
Goals met. Tried out a fitnessblender video and enjoyed it. I love how easy it is to find different things to try.
9/15 262.4
Went over calories by less than 100; all other goals met. Did another fitnessblender video.
9/16 263.0
Didn’t sleep well; a lot of leg soreness and tightness. Unable to go to the gym today but will stay active and get in a workout at home.

Back in for another 10 days!A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:Round 15: (Target: 162) Highest, 163.8; lowest, 161; Mean, 161.8 It's slow, but I am very happy with the downward trend.
- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.

9/10 - 190 this is what happens when mfp posts the big red warning that the food you are about to eat will put you over your salt limit for the day.. and you ignore it! On to the water bottle. Lol

9/14 - 189 Ate horribly yesterday, sushi for lunch and 4 black Russians for dinner but came out of it under calories because of the huge amount of walking I did yesterday. Still slightly hung over, arrgghh. I'm going to eat well and drink all my water today, I'm due for a woosh.
9/15 - 189 I'm still at 189, sigh, I ate great yesterday, had a glass of wine at dinner. This is the day I weigh in for the biggest loser blah.. was hoping for a little drop. I'm happy where I am though.

9/14 151.6 saltttt! I'm headed to the yoga school right now. I'm going to weigh myself after to see how much of a loss comes after practice. To motivate me to stay away from the tortillas!
9/15 151.1 cheese, bread, salt. This is humbling but insightful! Mono vegan diet with lots of water today. Also, very stressful day yesterday. I was grateful
For a little cheese to soothe the blow of life. Today, maybe I walk instead!

goal for R13 R14 R15 R16 to get under and make being under 196 lbs permanent
so it seems that getting under 196 (14 stone) is proving just as difficult at getting out of the 200's was!!
4th round lucky???
UGW 140
09/9 - 197 - still eating lower cals and drinking 10 L water a week, still in a lot of pain with (what I think is sciatica) docs appointment is set for Thursday 14th at 4:15 so i am hoping for answers then!! I had a Long 70 min walk in the west end to get some exercise .. then a quick 15 min walk myself to check out my walking pace and later 15 mins of marching on the spot, it seems to give my leg some relief. hot water bottle and sitting for the rest of the time!
10/9 -197 - 3rd day at 197! so a bounce or a drop ... ooo the suspense
11/9 -198 - and its a bounce! .. still patiently waiting on a drop!
12/9 -196.6 - The pains in my leg were terrible today, I was almost pain free on the 11th as well.
13/9 -196.6 - 1 1/2 mile walk, leg feeling much better
14/9 -196.6 - If past months are anything to go by (just less than 2 weeks till TOM arrives) I should lose a little weight over the next week (be at my lowest on the 19th) the make a small jump back up to this number (or above) then it should slowly drop off again back to here over the following week -(its happened like this over the last 3 months) - Lets see then, body is this a real pattern or am I just hopeful!!!
15/9 -196.6 - I've been to the doctor and I have sciatica, I've been referred for physio (12-16 week wait for an appointment) and told walking and recommended sciatic exercise only. Forgot to drink my water, calories very low.
16/9 -196.6 - 5th day at the same number, c'mon body .. let go of it!
17/9 -195.4 - I fully expect a bounce in the next few days but for the moment YASSSSSS!!!!!

11/9 - 227.8
12/9 - 230 Sabotage comes in all forms - grilled lamb with garlic herb potatoes and mayo. Was it worth it? Flavour - yes. Repercussions - no. Salt may be the effect but complacency is the cause. Note to self - if you want to be under 200 by Christmas this is not the way. Time to do the work.
13/9 - 230.4 my belt went in by a notch yesterday and the scale does this. Well I've 6 days for a turn around eating and exercise. Less salt. Definitely smoothie after 6. No more "questionable" meals.
14/9 - 229.8
15/9 - 229.8 appetite back in check. So let's see how it goes.
16/9 - 227.8 very low salt. Today's goals - stay active.
17/9 - 226.2 yesterday I went shopping. Spent close to 3 hrs walking around. Retail therapy works.

9/12 156.6 that's what I like to see!
9/13 156.8 normal up and down, can't be down every day....
9/14 156.8 not bad considering I was out for dinner last night
9/15 155.8 surprised to see this after a long long work day without exercise. Now onto the weekend!
9/16 156.8 up and down we go.... but over all down. It's always been that way and I've learned to not freak out when it goes up because I know if I keep up good habits it will overall go down. Happy Saturday!
9/17 156.4 - kinda surprised. Not doing great staying on plan this weekend. Duh is gone and it's ttotm too.....

Helllllooooo! I'm in again! I think I started joining this challenge in round 2 or 3? Weighing and logging daily has definitely been a huge motivator for me...along with this group as we do this together!!
SW - March 2017 - 182.4
GW - Was originally 150 but now that I expect to get there pretty soon I'm thinking I'd like to make that the top of my maintenance range...so now I'm going to shoot for 145...but get there slowly so by the time I'm there I've got a really good idea of what calorie and activity level I need to maintain to stay in that general vicinity.
9/09 - 150.4 - coming in from round 15...goal for round 16 is to break 150 and have the BMI number on my tracker not be in the "overweight" range for the first time in probably 11 years.
Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 - 151.6 - normal blip on a weekend after a big drop week....not worried.
9/11 - 151.2 - Happy Monday! I always find the work week routine easier to keep so I'm looking forward to progress in the right direction.
9/12 - 151.8 - Up early for a client this morning so my "elimination schedule" is a bit off...my activity and calories have been on point the last couple of days so I know it will come off. Just doing my typical "bounce around a pound" before it whooshes on the scale.
9/13 - 151.2 - Still bouncing around this pound
9/14 - 151.4 - and another 151 number....
9/15 - 151.0 - SOOO close LOL...I've been below 151 twice!! Just wasn't going to happen again today. Hoping to stay on track this weekend so I can break this barrier...but hubby is bringing lobster home from the east coast today so I expect a feast tonight...
9/16 - 149.0!!!!! - WHOOSH...there it is!!! BMI 24.8!!! Trust the science people!! Even when it looks like you're not progressing your body is doing what it needs to do. Consume fewer calories than you spend and it will come off. On another note....hubby's flight was delayed yesterday so the Lobster feast is tonight...and I'm going to relish in every butter drenched bite!!!
9/17 - 150.4 - Lobster, salted butter and to much wine....but totally worth it!! Will get a good trail run with the dog and kettlebell work out when we get back from hockey this morning.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 - 185.8 - not good!! Tomorrow will probably be worse or about the same. I ate like crap today and didn't drink enough water. I always relax too much when I see a lower weight on the scale. Oh well.. it's a process!
9/11 - 187 - I was expecting this. I feel bloated and dehydrated. I ate a lot of sugar and carbs yesterday. Back on track today so this water weight should come off quickly...i hope!
9/12 - 184.6 - That's much better. I can't believe how sensitive my body is to high sugar/sodium and not drinking enough water. On Sunday I still drank probably 70oz of water but not enough to keep the bloat at bay. I usually drink 3-4 32oz bottles of water.
9/13 - 184.4 - Slow and steady I guess. It will be interesting to see how tomorrow looks. I didn't drink nearly enough water because I worked all day and forgot more water from home (i hate city water!).
9/14 - 183.4 - Yay!! Finally below my R15 ending weight!
9/15 - 182.6 - Well, look at that! Woohoo! I'm so happy to see this number...way better than the 187 I saw on Monday!
9/16 - 183.2 - whomp whomp whooommpp....so far today is not looking great but I'm going to eat better and drink more water!
9/17 - 185.6 - Well, hello brownie sundae and cheeseburger. Lol! I wasn't even going to step on the scale today! I'm pretty sure this number just wanted to come back and visit one last time. Last round I think 4 or 5 of 10 days was 185.6. Today = more water, less JUNK!

9/10: 203.00- Oh yay, gained everything i lost last week in about 2 days lol!!This is water weight I'm sure. I had a lot of alcohol the past two days, didnt log, ate out dinner the past two days as well. I tried to keep it healthy but I know it was probably packed with Na+ and sugar. Also didnt drink half my normal amount of water. So heres to recovering from all the damage I did!
9/11- 204.5 same trend as last week! I have all my meals planned out for the week. Looking forward to doing better!
9/12- 205 scale is playing games this am lol. I don't believe it.
9/13- 201.6 yay heading back down. This is more like it! Hopefully I stay on this trend. Ive hit 100oz of water the past two days without trying so very happy with that
9/14- didn't weigh today. I pulled a muscle or something in my leg and decided to skip the gym this am. but I plan on staying under calories and meeting water goal again today.
9/15 - 199.2 yay back down to ending weight from last round. Now let's continue this trend please
9/16- rest day
9/17- 199.8 I'm just happy to be under 200, even if is by just .215 -
Back again!I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Ended Round 15 at 142. I'm at roughly .5 a week loss. For this round I'd like to hit the 140's and stay in the 40's.
On your mark
Get set
Go.....

9/9 ended round 15 at 142
9/10 141.4 Yeah! Lots of walking at fest. 2year old's will do help with that. Brought my own food and left in cooler. Went to parking lot to eat it. So not elegant, but so healthy. Here's to another round of healthy choices by all.
9/11 142.2 That's the way this cookie rolls. Cooked a turkey and ate more than usual and no exercise. Goal for today is exercise - it;s been over a week - and fiber!!! Salad!
9/12 141.4 Yeah! Made it to gym yesterday and pushed protein and fiber and water. Goals for today: elliptical at least 30m, 80 oz water min, and stay within carb limits.
9/13 142.4 The number is up but surprisingly little since I had appetizers and drinks out. It's water weight. Made it to aqua arthritis yesterday. Goals for today: either gym (if son home to watch grandson early enough)or else ellip or maybe even both!!! Stick to veggies and lean protein today and at least 80 oz of water. Happy hump day.
9/14 142.2 Expected better. Did gym yesterday and way below on cals and carbs. Must be water from the workout. Going out for a friend's bday dinner tonight. Already checked the restaurant's online menu and have my meal picked out to stay within goals. Hopefully.
9/15 142 I'll take it! Happy to not be up after drinks and dinner last night. Saved the majority of cals and carbs for the dinner out. I usually divide them up pretty evenly during the day so I'm not eating so much late and boy did I feel it; very stuffed. Today, gym and pool. No exercise yesterday as I did householdy things like defrost freezer and freeze veggies.
9/16 141.2 Hello "1", nice to see you again. Yesterday gym and pool and below on carbs and cals. Today, I'm having lunch out - this will be the 3rd time eating out this week and I don't normally do that- so I am thrilled by this number. Again, I am checking out restaurant's menu online and deciding what will work best before going. Then I have to babysit for a family so no exercise today.
9/17 141.6 No problem. So happy despite eating restaurant food 2x yesterday and drinks. I've proven to myself I can eat out and not completely blow it. I'm in '1's' and at goal for this round. I think I'll make a crustless quiche. I love them: tasty and so filling and low on cals and carbs. Happy Sunday, ya'll.

9/10 - 159 - I could deal with this steady 2-4 oz loss per day. I wish it were always linear because it's super motivating, but I know it will plateau and fluctuate soon enough. Dear body, I trust you. Love, me.
9/11 - 159.4 - and there's the bounce...no worries though. Trainer coming over this morning so getting back on track with exercise which has been pretty paltry lately.
9/12 - 158.4 - Dear body, I knew I could trust you. I give you permission to let go of another .5 lbs over the next week so we can hit goal. No hurry, take your time. You can do it! Love, me.
9/13 - 159 - boioioioioing...under calories and a little exercise, but a lot of sodium yesterday so not at all surprising. Onward and upward....errr downward!!!
9/14 - 158.6 - 38 min elliptical and a smidge under calories.
9/15 - 159 - I went to bed hungry to stay at calories and I wake up to this...stupid scale.
9/16 - 159.8 - Gaaaak - I knew it. Went to an awards dinner last night and went over calories. Chose a salad and salmon, but the dressing, sauces and bread and butter got me.
9/17 - 158.6 - Worked hard yesterday and it payed off. My scale did this to me this morning though...163.8...wait for it....ERROR...it almost went through the window.

ROUND 16 - My Round 3
I ended last round 0.1 above where I started, having to navigate the first week of school, inservice, Labor Day, and 2 celebrations for mom's birthday. So here is how we are starting:
SW 162
Round 16 goal: anywhere 159.9 or below
9/10 162 - was out to eat yesterday and did in fact go down a few ounces. No official workout yesterday due to getting my FIL checked into a care facility and dealing with all of that. Losing weight while dealing with adult responsibilities is hard. Got up today and got in 50 mins of Zumba at home before starting the day.
9/11 162.8 - WHAT?? I worked out yesterday and had a pretty big deficit at the end of the day - WHAT??
9/12 162.6 ugh. Was hoping for better.
9/13 161.8 better - cut down on the snacks at work (the kiddos I work with have a reward box - sometimes it's hard to avoid the rewards myself!) and cut down on the food after dinner. Hoping to continue this trend.
9/14 161.7 - the correct direction right?? Even though it's 0.1??
9/15 161.7 - lots of steps again but snacking at work - tracking the snacking as well as I can...
9/16 161.5 - better - right direction - even though I can't keep it together during the day at work - been trying to snack on goldfish crackers instead of m&m's though...maybe I'll get some bite size things to keep around my desk to grab instead this week...we will see. Already got in 65 minutes of Leslie Sansone miracle miles today so that's a plus
9/17 162.0 - one day out to eat and gained back what I lost despite having a big deficit at the end of the day. Going to work out this morning and mark it on my to do list to work out this week as well. Trying to stay focused.

Love, love, love this group! I'm really hoping to step up my water intake these 10 days. I really struggled doing that last round. My goal this round is to lose between 1 - 2lbs.
SW: 202
CW: 175
GW: 173.5
UGW: 125
09/10: 175 My Mom is still in the hospital. I've been there with her the last several days. According to the xrays, nothing has changed. Since I've been there, I haven't been getting as many steps in as I have been. I definitely didn't drink much water, and my calorie intake was low.
09/11: 176.6 Well, the whoosh I had last week, I've gained back due to lack of water consumption or hormones.
My ovulation cycle is always so hard on me. I think I feel the worst then. Of course, being at the hospital and not moving much isn't great either. However, I managed to get my lesson plans done while I was there.
09/12: 175.8 Well, I managed to drink more water yesterday, and I put in about 7500 steps, which is a lot for me considering the field I work in. I hope I get back to 174.4 (where I ended last round) by the time this round ends at least.
09/13: 175 lbs Mom was moved into a rehab facility last night. She's slightly improved but no significant change. She has no strength at all. She doesn't want to be there, but she can't be alone. She doesn't want to be with us either because it's 30 minutes away from the cancer center. My husband is beside himself. I just pray that I have the strength that he and I both need to carry him through this. Upside: I managed to get 44 oz of water in the last two days. Woot! I've been struggling with just 28. So, I'm proud of that.
09/14: 176.2 I know this is from sodium due to Mexican for dinner, but after the 2 weeks we've had and no family time due to being at the hospital and now rehab, I think we deserved it. It was our first evening together as a family...just the 5 of us.
09/15: 175 I'm back to the same weight for the 3rd time. Lol I need to drink more water.
09/16: 174.4 It was such a busy day yesterday. I put in over 11,000 steps! MIND BLOWN! I even have 6 boys in my house since my sons have their buddies over.
09/17: 174.4 Worked on getting my lesson plans put together yesterday while I got 4 boys sent back home to their parents...some which stayed a lot longer than planned. However, I'm holding steady, and that makes me happy. If I could just lose 4 more ounces, I'd be down 1 lb. I need just that bit for a 28lb drop. Come on scale, body, and mind! Let's do this!

9/10 26 264.4
The bounce back up. I am learning my body will bounce around for several days and then drop again. Goals met. Tried out a 15-minute exercise video on YouTube. I will add it to my routine on my non-gym days for this round.
9/11 263.6
Goals met. I had a really good day at the gym. I pushed myself harder during cardio and I lifted more weight in my strength training circuit.
9/12 261.6
Today is 2 months since I started logging my calories and making changes in relation to food and exercise. This isn’t the first time, but this time is permanent. I made these changes not because I knew I should, for someone else, etc. Not that any of those reasons are bad; they just weren’t good enough for me to make permanent changes. I made them because I no longer wanted to mistreat my body; I had a reality check of how my life would be if I continued. I went to the gym on my non-gym day. I didn’t push myself and just stretched everything out to help some of the soreness. I met all my goals except taking my vitamins. Oops.
9/13 262.0
I expected this for two reasons: 1) It was the second woosh in less than a week and 2) I am having some soreness. I am super happy with this number. Goals met. It was a good day at the gym. I had so much going on I thought about skipping and going tomorrow, but then I realized I just needed to go.
9/14 261.0
Goals met. Tried out a fitnessblender video and enjoyed it. I love how easy it is to find different things to try.
9/15 262.4
Went over calories by less than 100; all other goals met. Did another fitnessblender video.
9/16 263.0
Didn’t sleep well; a lot of leg soreness and tightness. Unable to go to the gym today but will stay active and get in a workout at home. Spent the day out with family doing shopping and other things. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant and I am proud that I didn’t overeat and stayed with calorie goal for the day. Did 25 minutes of exercise/ strength training even though I didn’t make it to the gym. Calling it goals met.
9/17 264.0
Ugh. I know fluctuations are normal, but I was hoping to see it come down. Still enough leg soreness and tightness that it disturbed my sleep several times last night. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring a downswing on the scale.

End of round goal: 146
Goal: Get to maintenance by the first of the year!
8/27 147.6 ~ (Steps 18,495 Miles 7.36) ~ Today's my sons birthday......Yesterday I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus hit the gym in the evening since it was too hot outside. I had to push myself to hit the gym, it did pay off in the scale, yay! Another pound off, I'm trying to lose the 5 pounds I gained from vacation,
8/28 148.8 ~ Yesterday, since I didn't get ANY exercise in plus my sodium was high, I have a gain. I didn't over eat though so my gain is only a pound. Yesterday's, was a success in my books!
8/29 148.3 ~ (Steps18,169) Miles 7 ~ I was hungry the whole day but was able to stick to my dairy, keeping my sodium low. I decided to try getting a workout before getting breakfast. Last night I had to alter my menu since my husband got off late from work. On the plus side a couple workouts during the day helped.
8/30 147.9 ~ (Steps 19,101 Miles 7.7) ~ Yesterday went well with goals, I was able to get a couple workouts at the gym. I switching up though, having my protein drink after my first workout. I need to focus on more fruits for snacks, after vacation, I'm having trouble incorporating them into my diet. Not at my goal for this round but I'm ready for the next round!
This will be my 2nd round, too

Day/Weight/Comment:
8/31 146.4 ~ (Steps 28,910 Miles 7.75) ~ Yesterday I was able to get a couple workouts in plus a morning run.... My vacation weight is starting to drop off, only a couple more pounds..... Consistency to no late night snacking is the key
9/01 147.9 ~ (Steps 20,039 Miles 8 miles) ~ I don't understand the gain, I was able to get a nice workout last night plus my sodium wasn't to high. I also ate under my calories allowed so I'm really disappointed with the gain. I did have some watermelon last night but that shouldn't matter.
9/02 148 ~ (Steps 15,232 Miles 6) ~ We went to the Spring fair so my diet wasn't like it usually is, I was able to stay under my calorie goal, making smart choice. I also got a workout after the fair.
9/03 148.5....147.9 ~ (Steps 17,547 Miles 7) ~ Again with the gain, doing everything right, I log everything, stay within my goal, sodium is low, get my water in. I'm going to try dropping my intake to see how that works!
9/04 148 ~ (Steps 15,435 Miles 6) ~ We ended up going to dinner last night but I was able to make healthy choices, in fact taking half home for breakfast today, with such large portions
9/5 147.4 ~ (Steps 17,376 Miles 7) ~ Spent most of the day getting ready to head to my daughter's for the week. Met all my goals for the day.
9/6 I didn't have time at my daughter's in the morning
9/7 148.6 ~ (Steps 12,787 Miles 5) ~ All around good day, just ate late so weight was up!
9/8 148 ~ (Steps 24,548 Miles 9.75) ~ I was able to get some nice walks in with my grandkids and daughter. Our dinner consisted of a grilled spinach salad. Today going back home so tomorrow's weigh in will be with my scale.
9/9 147.9 ~ (Steps 15,416 Miles 6) ~ Yesterday was hard to stay focus but I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus stay under my calorie goal.

9/11 146.9 ~ (Steps 20,239 Miles 8) ~ Since it was a good day to exercise outs I decided to get a morning, afternoon and evening walks in. No late night snacking is helping with the scale going downs!
9/12 145.9 ~ (Steps 23,221 Miles 9.2) ~ It seems to be helping me walking after dinner, yay!
9/13 146.5 ~ (Steps 21,251 Miles 8.50) ~ All around good day with exercise and diet so I don't understand why scale is up. I didn't get a workout in AFTER dinner, maybe,
9/14 Didn't weigh in
9/15 146.7 ~ (Steps 23,040 Miles 9.25) ~ I'm not surprised my weight is up since Wednesday night the, Late night snacking, was bad, I received my Piyo tapes from Amazon so starting Sunday I'm starting that.
9/16 146.4 ~ (Steps - 20,095 Miles 8) ~ I got my morning walk in plus a lot of walking at the fair. I was able to make healthy food choices

9/10 256.8 -- Same as yesterday. This is the low from last round. Let’s see if we can make it the high for this round!
9/11 258.2 --Bah humbug!! Blew through sodium and calorie deficit with late night snacking. Don’t snack off diary! Go to bed, Heidi! You’re not really hungry!!
9/12 257.2 -- I must have been self-medicating with food all my life. I started to feel the barometric pressure changes yesterday afternoon as Irma blew through and my immediate response was a big snack attack and then a nap. Very interesting. Stayed within calories by having a very low cal supper.
9/13 259.4 -- Gack!!! Let’s see … take-out Chinese, late night snacking … that’ll do it!
9/14 259.2 -- I’m having difficulty getting back to the new normal. I’m falling back into old habits. I must nip this in the bud. I need to take back control. I will start this morning. I know I can do this.
9/15 258.2 -- Stayed within limits yesterday. My sole goal right now is just to do that for the rest of the challenge. CICO
9/16 257.4 --Another day of CICO doing exactly as it ought. Maybe the first day won’t be the lowest day of this challenge after all!
9/17 257.4 -- Stayed within calorie limits. Off to deliver pet food for rural Meals-on-Wheels clients today. So a nice drive “in the country.” Need to plan a simple supper so we won’t be tempted by take-out when we get home!
