Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 - 234.2 7800 steps
3/30 - 233.6 6900 steps
3/31 - 230.8 (I was dehydrated from drinking way too much!! So yay, great number, but boo I'm going to pay for this! ) 8000 steps
4/1 - 236.2 I ate so much as I'm sure so many did. I also did some yard work and beat my previous best mile time! BUT I skipped my meds this past weekend so I could enjoy the food and I'm sure I will pay for that as well. 8700 steps
4/2 - 236.6 Not terrible considering the amount of potatoes I stuffed into my stomach yesterday! 7540 Steps
4/3 - 235.0 Not only did I jog 2.5 miles, I also did 45 minutes of JMs Shed and Shred (what?!?!?)!! 7100 steps
4/4 - 233.0 MAN I'm sore! Decided to walk today and not push it. My hamstrings are on fire. Tomorrow's goal is to get at least 3k steps before the work day is over. 7600 steps
4/5 - 233.4 7200 steps and another day of Shed and Shred. Got 3k steps in before work was over, but it was all at 9 and 3. Tomorrow's goal is to get my butt up in the morning and walk. I need to get things moving earlier in the day.
4/6 - 233 I attempted to walk before coffee and umm yeah no wasn't happening. Got in about a mile around 8 am and did at least 500 steps every couple hours. Hit 8200 steps at 6 pm.
4/7 - 231.4 6600 steps woohoo! I wasn't really sure what to expect in 10 days, but 3 lbs feels right. Now if I could just get my weekends under control... I didn't eat as much as I did last Saturday, but still not on par with the weekdays.

Thank you to everyone who does this, it's inspiring to see others who have been on this journey for so long with real change despite the little setbacks we all face.

Day/Weight/Comment

3/29 - 124.0 lbs(Starting no. looked doubtful, having dropped suddenly from 125.8 after MFP for last 3-4 days). Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
3/30 - 124.0 lbs Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
3/31 - 122.4 lbs (?) Ate in calorie limits; was sucked into a bit of mindless snacking took a few bites but otherwise stayed away; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day. The number on the scale looked doubtful. Was back to 124 midday, so may be a fluke. Remember to eat meals on time to avoid snacking.
4/1 - 123.5lbs Ate in calorie limits; snacked but accounted, need to plan and control better; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
4/2 - 123.2 lbs Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking ; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day. Last 2 days feel like I am constantly eating, adjust meals to give myself break between meals.
4/3 - 123.2 lbs Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking ; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day. Adjusted meals, much better, but got busy in meetings and crammed food, drink, walk at end of the day. Go everywhere with water bottle, prioritize timely eating and breaks. 4 days to go. Lets do it!
4/4 - 123.0 lbs Ate in calorie limits; some unplanned snacking but accounted for it; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
4/5 - 123.0 lbs Ate in calorie limits- but way under protein wise; controlled snacking; 2 units of alcohol; 2K+ steps; 6 cups of H2O. Bad day.
*** meetings all day, networking/drinks at end of day with senior mgmt, no walking, skipping dinner, drinking but atleast controlled - plan was to stick go 1 corona light, but was pushed for 1 tequila to toast a senior manager leaving, eating few fries but not much else, and not enough H2O. Not happy. Priorities, priorities. ***
4/6 - 121.6 lbs. Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking ; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
*** The dip in weight may be short lived, since I skipped dinner yesterday and ate snacks and was not as hydrated and drank. Expect a more accurate number tomorrow. ***
4/7 - 122.2 lbs. Ate in calorie limits, some snacking but accounted for, takeout on Fri afternoon and lunch today; AF; 10K+ steps; 10+ cups of H2O :: Good day.

03/29: 151.5
03/30: 151.0
I've gone over in calories almost every day this week.
03/31: 151.0
04/01: 151.0
Hanging in there.
04/02: 150.0
No explanation for a loss, I was an eating machine last week. I did pretty well today, though: calories, water, exercise all on point.
04/03: 149.5
Another new low and I'm really stoked about this! I haven't seen the 140s since my early teens, as far as I can remember. Today started with lots of exercise and water, um, then turned into a huge buffet dinner. Might have done a few days' worth of damage. I have my meal plan all set for the rest of the week though.
04/04: 150.5
Did fine on calories and water today. I tried a new exercise class, kettlebell, supposed to be good for strength and cardio.
04/05: 151.0
Went to my TRX class today, I missed it last week. Ate just a smidge over my goal but still a deficit.
04/06: 151.0
Went to a 30 minute battle ropes class for the first time, it was intense. Ate fairly well.

04/07: 151.0
Surprisingly, my arms and shoulders aren't sore after the ropes class yesterday. Within my calorie goal today.

4/3 / 267.8 / Living in the hospital. We are not allowed to bring food or drink into Mom’s room. I started gulping 32 oz on the way to the hospital and another after leaving. That seems to help keep me at a steady state.
4/4 / 265.4 / I have no clue how this happened.

4/7 / 263.8 / Today was a bad day.

I missed this entire round. I was back on 4/5, but was too scared to weigh in after so much eating and drinking on vacation. Also, I have not yet gotten back on track with eating well and logging. I will start again soon! I feel like I gained 15 pounds!
