R31 SW: 222.7 EW: 218.6

Goal: Release 2 lbs per round to reach onederland by Memorial Day weekend.
Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point

February
17: 219.6 Not concerned about the increase. Way to much sodium yesterday. Corned beef is SOOO good though. I'm heading out for a 60 minute walk now and will focus on reaching my 100oz water goal today.
18: 219.7 Water, calories, macros, sodium, exercise were all on point yesterday. Count down to TOM includes little gains daily. Then, as long as I stay motivated and on track through a few days of cravings and actual increased hunger, there'll be a nice drop, releasing the little gains plus some.
19: 218.8... That's a pleasant surprise. No TOM yet. Managed a 15 calorie deficit, even having pizza for supper. 108oz of water. No exercise. I don't have high BP, but it does get checked everyday. I'm noticing that it's lowering as I consistently meet my 100oz water goal.
20: 218.9... Yesterday was a REALLY good day! 100+oz of water. 2 hour walk. 180 calories deficit before considering exercise. With exercise, I had well over 1,000 calorie deficit. Macros were on point. Sodium was slightly over, but not by much. I'm thinking my water intake counteracts that, at least somewhat. Got on my yoga mat too, which felt great, and I felt strong the rest of the day. However, in the afternoon I ended up tweaking my knee. I may have to skip my walk today. We're going skiing on Thursday with my kids' school, so I'm hoping it'll be recovered by then. Knees can be slow though, so I'm not banking on being able to participate. We'll see.
21: 217.9... No exercise yesterday. Food and water were good. We were out of town late yesterday afternonn for an appointment and needed to dine out. The kids wanted fast food, but I let them know that Subway would be the only option because I want to eat healthy. I walked in having already logged what I planned to order. I was soooo close to changing my mind when I saw their pulled pork special, but I reminded myself how good I've been doing. Ended with about an 80 calorie deficit.
22: 217.4... Moderate exercise yesterday. First day of TOM. I did make it out to ski today, and my knee is feeling ok so far. Less than a pound to reach my round goal!
23: 218.4... Between TOM symptoms and my attempts at skiing yesterday a I'm not surprised by the increase. Need to wear my CamelBak next time, so I can stay more hydrated though the day instead of catching up on water intake afterwards. I'm really proud of myself for sticking to my food plan. There have been a lot of days where cheating would have been a much easier choice, and I'm feeling stronger each time I choose my health. Today is my birthday, and I haven't been tempted at all. We might go out to eat, but I'm not feeling the urge to throw my hard work away with one overindulgent meal. I intend to enjoy the meal and stick to my plan.

Day/Weight/Comment

2-17 - drive drive drive
We left yesterday after the movers were finished and we had finished cleaning. I stuck to my calorie goal (partly bec. of no breakfast!) Drove from Eugene, OR, to Ashland, OR. Lovely drive, even if we were tired. Stopped early, and I ate a nice, healthful dinner.

2-18 more driving
Ashland to Stockton, CA, yesterday, and on to Barstow, CA, today. Beautiful drive through the Central Valley - almond trees in glorious bloom (and nothing smells sweeter- like honey in the air!). I ate mindfully and within limits, and had no evening snacks bec. my dog was barfy on the trip so no little shares of my stuff, and I didn't want to eat in front of her. For some reason I've been unable to sign into community with my iPad, so missed yesterday. Maybe TMI?

2-19 travel, but no driving today (except to WalMart, laundromat, & to eat!)
We spent the day in Barstow because of high winds to the east and bad (snowy) roads through the mountains by Flagstaff. Hoping for good travel conditions tomorrow. Eating what I want but staying within my goals pretty much. It's motivating to check in with all you good eaters out there!

2-20 more driving
Seriously beautiful day for a drive through the desert from Barstow, CA, to Phoenix, AZ. Looking forward to tomorrow, Tucson and east into New Mexico and north to Albuquerque. Had dinner with a fb friend I'd never met in person before - the magic of social media! Stayed within calories for the day, even with one Reese's peanutbutter cup. ;-)

2-21 driving again
Stuck to my calories. Macros not so much, and Chinese last night so I'm feeling puffy. Otherwise, great drive! Phoenix through Tucson to Las Cruces today, then north to Albuquerque and Amarillo tomorrow.

2-22 guess what we're doing today?
Still in NM - it's a big state! Hoping to get to Tulsa tomorrow, but may stop sooner. I had Mexican food tonight in a cute little cafe, but still stayed within calorie bounds. I'm hopeful about maintaining - will find out next week!

2-23 still driving?
Yep. Still driving! Learned today that our stuff still hasn't been loaded onto the long haul truck, so won't catch up with us for at least a week. So we're definitely not in a hurry now. Oh well. I ate well today, but within bounds. All good.

2-24 maybe we've arrived?

02/17 Out of town today, but yesterday was 166.4; I need strength today to keep away from all the stuff that my parents keep at their house—cookies, nuts, doughnuts, you name it. It’s here! Think I’ll go out for a long walk before they get up and before the rain begins again!
02/18 No access to scales this day either. Back to normal on Monday.
02/19 = 164.8 YAY!!! Below my original goal. Changing that goal now to 150 (normal BMI for me)
02/20 = 164.4 Oh man, if I can just keep this going!
02/21 = 165.8 Food at dinner out last night tasted really salty even though I ordered well and ate within calories. This will pass
02/22 = 164.6 That’s better!
02/23 = 162.8 I know this will go back up a bit probably, but this marks 25 lbs. lost since Thanksgiving! I’m pretty excited about that.
02/24 = 162.4 Still headed in the right direction! YAY!

02/17...144.. not sure about that increase... Got in 15 min on ellip and 1.5 in gym yesterday. Muscles delightfully sore. I'm hoping it's water weight in recovering muscles. My goal for this round is to lose a pound (or more)
02/18... 142... no exercise except walking around a mall after I showed up a week early for a group lunch. LOL Love this drop.
02/19..142 Holding... that's ok... Ate very clean, lots of veggies yesterday, did about 20 min exercising in pool on my own. Today, eating out at happy hour but no alcohol. That should help with the calories and water retention. Planning on either gym or elliptical.
02/20... 142.6 to 143... Got on scale, 142.6. Went back to bed for a bit, got up, went to bathroom, weighed and weight went up despite no drinking water, etc. Go figure. Had a great workout yesterday, went to happy hour: had club soda and lettuce wraps. Maybe club soda has a lot of sodium? Lemon water to the rescue!
02/21...143.. Did 50 on ellip, then went to movies and had a junior cheeseburger and some Good 'N Plenty. It was fun. Today, (to paraphrase Scarlett)is another day. Happy humpday, ya'll.
02/22...142.4..50 min on ellip...Today, hopefully gym. And lots of water.
02/23..142..50 min on ellip, no gym all week as my son has needed to use my car and today its in for annual checkup. I am so missing the gym. Tomorrow is book club so no chance then either. Sigh. Waiting for Sunday. Today's goal is to drink plenty of water and use ellip. Happy Friday to all.

02/24...143... Well, hell. What happened here? Maybe the 2 donuts? Got my 50 min in again.

Hi @mamabear10717, don't focus on your weight; try to focus on your health! Take care of you, and the weight will take care of itself! Blessings!!
