March 18
Exercised?: Yes. Over 12,000 steps setting up and packing up drone racing course.
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Lots of work setting up for the event and helping pack up.
Hamburger for lunch, but no bun.
Fillings between the hamburger patties. The hamburger patty has less calories that a hamburger bun.
Despite best efforts did not fly well yesterday (and pretty annoyed at myself over it). Out of 3 working craft I started with, only one was working by the end (and these craft are pretty durable - usually survive 60mph+ impacts with little to no damage). Hopefully will do better next time.

Weigh in day Monday
Previous weight 14st 1lb
Today's weight 13st 13lb.
So pleased to get under the 14st figure - couldn't wait to record my weight! It's been such a big target in my mind for ages. Hope you can understand. Now off for a walk - it's made me feel so much better....5 -

Short walk with a backpack in the forest. Drone flying while in the forest. Needed to reassure myself that I could actually fly after Sunday's poor showing.
I took video recording of two of the flights in the forest. I will upload it to youtube and share the link if people want to see where a little of where I usually walk.

@westray16. Well done. It is a great feeling when you hit a progress target.
(For those who only know lbs. 14st is actually 196lbs, but mentally it's like getting to one'derland (<200lbs). It's more a mental hurdle and a great achievement to get through).
Walking makes me feel better too - I think better after a walk.
Awesome work.

Hubby is off work due to a pinched nerve. Lots of extra walking to keep him from getting bored, plus I am doing all the chores. All this keeps me from getting bored, which means I am skipping afternoon snack. So very light on calories most days.1 -

I'm sorry I haven't been in here to update my weight. This past week and a half was a bit much. I'll do better in the future But I do record my weight every day, so I know my weights on the days I was supposed to weigh in.

Phew. The lowest I saw when I peaked over the weekend was 208.5, so this was a pleasant surprise. I did have a lot of sodium and high for me carbs on Saturday, and drank a *kitten* ton of water yesterday. Never quite sure if I am shedding water weight or burning calories running to the bathroom when that happens 2 -

Also working out seems way easier after my week in Colorado. Being almost a mile above what I’m used to for altitude really gave my lungs a nice workout.2

@eevang. Keep on track and you will have a fantastic looking week 4 .
At times weight fluctuations defy logic. However, you would most likely find that your size measurements (hips, waist, chest) would be consistently moving downwards. As such clothes will start to fit differently.
Look also at the non-scale victories (size, fitness, mood) as well as at the scale.2 -
March 20:
Exercise: yes (yoga)
Calories: yes
Tracked: yes
Seemed like a very long day, but I checked all the boxes, so I guess that is a win. I had suggested a hike to my husband, but I nixed that idea when the time came. Somehow got in 10k steps anyway? Perhaps we will tackle the hill tomorrow.2 -
March 21
Exercised?: Yes. 7.75km in 68 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Slower pace, but longer walk than normal. A little tired after yesterday's 5km PB.
Not much else to report today.
Daily Strength challenge
Challenge for March 21 is sit-ups or crunches (abs day - be sure to use a mat or towel for cushioning - )
2 sets- First set till the point where you can do no more, wait 2 mins
- Second set of 50% of the number you did in the first set (half)
The reason for only 2 sets for this exercise is that it ideally should be balanced with back strengthening exercises (which plank variants provide).

To be honest I am very shocked. I know I’m very quiet but that’s because I felt horrible last week. Menstrual cycle kicked in and I was feeling horrible with terrible pains. I still kept with my eating but I have not been to the gym since last Monday. Only difference is I bought an infuser water bottle and I kept putting lemon in it. I have a feeling that’s what contributed to my 2 lb loss. I went over 2 days with my caloric intake and still managed to lose weight? Without the gym? I’m still confused but will keep what I’m doing. This week I plan on going to the gym at least 4 times to get back in my rhythm.2 -
@JessieCanDoThis , the lemon water and actually starting your period can lead to water loss. Moreover, sometimes your body just needs a break to finally let go of the water that is created when fat is burned.
Whatever the scale says, congrats on sticking with the program (ie, tracking) even when you felt icky.2 -

Thank you I appreciate that! I felt so bloated and I think I’m retaining this water, but I go to the bathroom excessively. I’ll take it, just not used to a loss when I don’t feel I was productive.1
