5/23 - Starting late. I’ve been very off the last 1.5weeks which I’ve put it down to PMS. But TOM has started but my tummy is not feeling well still. On Monday (21.05.18), I felt so full and I wasnt able to eat properly but i tried. On Monday night, my stomach was very bloated and it was hurting mildly. Didnt think much of it - thought maybe my over indulging it from the previous week and Sunday was causing this. Came Tuesday, my bloating had gone slightly down over night but still there but by night time, it was very bloated again that it was hurting. It was uncomfortable and waddling like I was in the late pregnancy stages. My partner made a comment that my stomach looked odd. I think I might have eaten something that I’m sensitive to but I havent been sensitive to anything my whole life! I checked my food diary and I can only put it down to have gluten at night time as I didnt have gluten products in the morning. Best to check with the docs..
5/24 - 63.6kgs. I was so pissed off with my so called doctors appointment yesterday that I ended up not caring what I was eating because I needed to be calmed down. I made a doctors apointment at 1pm. Was there on time. After 25 min of waiting, I decided to check where the doctors at and the receptionist told me the doctors on her lunch break. This was the same receptionist who checked me in! What made me annoyed is that I’m on my work lunch break as well so I have limited time, no one called me to let me know this doctor decided to take lunch break when I’m scheduled in and the receptionist didnt tell me when I checked in! Anyways so I calmed myself down with sushi train, and biscuits, and pizza….But back on the wagon today! I realised I’ve been so focused no what I CANT have, rather than what I CAN have, so I’ve been eating what I shouldtn be eating more. Todays a new day!
5/25 - 63.6kgs
5/26 - 63.6kgs
5/27 - 62.8kgs. Yes met goal!

Age 60, 5'4.5" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 [R39] to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss had stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14
Annual workplace Health Risk Assessment 5/15/18: Waist the smallest it's been since 2007 according to past HRA records.
My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

R40 EW 153.0 LW 152.5Round 40 (previous round)
05/08: 154.0 Did ok all day, stuck w/ prelogged meals & snacks, and net calories w/i limit... then late evening snacking on walnut halves ~ ack!!! Really liking my new calorie limit, but need to figure out what to do about snack attacks ~ I never used to. Rest day ~ Fitbit 10,194 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 30 floors. Raked part of front yard after work ~ so many whirlybirds ~ that was a good arm workout!
05/09: 154.0 Yes! Stuck pretty much w/ prelogged meals, snacks + one curveball.

05/10: 153.5 I think changing my MFP setting to 1/2# per week, and having more net calories to play with, is agreeing with me. Net calories -15, sodium -721, sugar -19 (mostly fruit, power muffin & yogurt), fiber excellent, protein good & 14c water. Walked dog before work in off + on sprinkles + beat the rain / 3.43 mi 1:01:05 / remembered to stretch. Fitbit 16,489 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 46 floors. Workplace step challenge ~ currently in 31st place / top 30 women get prize at 10-week point... too bad leader board combines men & women, and everyone is listed by code number with no gender identification.
05/11: 154.0 Net calories -85, sodium -517, sugar -13, fiber & protein good & 14c water. Walked dog after work 3.42 mi 59:43. Fitbit 13,538 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 41 floors.
05/12: 153.5 Rest day / Fitbit 9,134 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 33 floors. Net calories -156, sodium green (yay), sugar -12, protein good, fiber excellent & 14c water, so not too bad for rest day.

[5/15/18 annual workplace Health Risk Assessment at 8:15 a.m. (fasting blood draw)]
05/16: 152.5 Rest day since couldn't eat or work out before HRA / nurses were impressed by my changes since last year. Had to promote MFP & my MFP community, of course ~ I couldn't have done it without you! Fitbit 7,694 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 28 floors. Net calories -142 (not too bad for rest day), sodium green (YAY), sugar -3, fiber & protein a little low & 13c water.
05/17: 153.0 Walked dog before work / 3.07 mi 53:07 pace 17:17. Fitbit 14,681 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 62 floors. Net calories -138, sodium & sugar green (yay), fiber & protein good & 14c water. [5/17/18 ~ 8 hr seminar + 1 hr drive time = very sedentary day]
05/18: 153.5 Had 8 hr seminar + 1 hr drive time + no workout = very sedentary day. Fitbit 5,483 steps, 250+ steps 8/14 & 12 floors. Had every intention of eating small portions of whatever lunch and refreshments were served. Not so much. By evening, the introvert in me was exhausted, having handled seminar check-in and networking with 26 people in my professional association all day, even though I loved it. So after I drove 33 miles back to my city & deposited seminar checks at in-store bank, I picked up rotisserie chicken, deli salads and a few groceries on my way home, and proceeded to eat with abandon, including WAY too much sugar. After, felt bloated and blah. 11c water (at least I did that right). Starting fresh today.
05/19: 154.0 Hahahaha... had 2 margaritas (first time in very long time) w/ BFF, and really enjoyed our time together / ordered entree that I love from the lighter menu / snacked WAY too much in evening ~ for some reason, really had the munchies ~ oh well, moving on from net calories -765 & sodium -2,587. At least I walked dog before work / 3.09 mi 53:31. Fitbit 13,986 steps (if I'd known, I would've walked around to get 14,000 ), 250+steps 14/14 (boom!) & 48 floors.

05/21: 153.5 Walked dog 4.35 mi 1:14:21 pace 17:06 ~ happy dog & happy me. Yardwork in afternoon (Sun.).

Slow and steady. I'm going to keep riding this wave. I think I'm very close to my final weight goal. I'm going to start thinking in terms of what I'm doing AFTER I reach my weight goal. I have not returned to heavy lifting since I hurt my back, but I will (soon). As far as numbers go, I want to see if I can keep my lean body mass where it is (or increase) while simultaneously reducing my body fat percentage. I'm at just under 16%, but I'd like to see 12%. I want to know what my abs look like! I'm going to start including my scale's body fat percentage reading (even though I know it's not accurate) with my daily check-in.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18 = 192.6 (no change). Basketball cancelled again last night. AFTER I drive half an hour to get there. For the first time in a while I had a frustration/depressed binge (related to basketball). Nothing too crazy, but I was done eating, and then I had a couple of raw chocolate balls and 2 servings of Thai Lime Chile almonds. And a stick of Monterey Jack cheese. I'm going to an amusement park today, so there should be tons of walking. And there's basketball tomorrow. I forgot to check my body fat percentage this morning. It's going to be a process!
5/19 = 192.2 (-0.4), BF% = 16.0. Walked over 15k steps at Magic Mountain. I was good at the park with food, but binged a bit again when I got home. I've been sneaking in a little chocolate (wife has it around) the past few nights, which I've got to address. I'm going to work on sticking much more closely to my macros. I'm not having any real negative consequences at this point, but I want to nip this in the bud. I have basketball this morning.[/quote]
5/20 = 192.0 (-0.2), BF% = 16.2. My knee felt really loose at basketball yesterday. I didn't hurt myself, but it didn't feel good. Ate out for brunch, and got a nice rare steak and eggs. Macros were okay. I was a little light on water, at least for a basketball day.
5/21 = 195.4 (+3.4). Let's call yesterday what it was: a full-blown slip. It was my father-in-law's birthday party. I was pretty good with food for most of the day (this is becoming a pattern that is not shaken, in a very good way). It started with my wife doing Mexican corn (with mayo, butter, cheese, and chili). Corn is not a great food for my diet, but I had more than I probably should have (the toppings are all fine, though). Later came dessert. My wife got a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake from the bakery in LA called Portos. It's ridiculous. I told her a few times throughout the day that I wasn't going to have any, but she persisted, and I gave in. Twice. Back to my eating during the day, though. I didn't track volume, only "quality." The food I was eating fit well into the Keto lifestyle, but I probably overate a bit overall, even before the corn/cheesecake. Anyhoo. It was a slip, not a full-blown relapse. Let's see how long it takes for my body to fully BWHOOSH™ (formerly known as BOUNCE BACK™).
5/22 = 193.4 (-2.0), BF% = 16.2. BWHOOSH™ (formerly known as BOUNCE BACK™). I felt pretty crappy throughout the day yesterday, but ate really well, and forced myself to go to the gym to lift weights. When I got there, I noticed my energy was up. I went to basketball, where I have not been able to hit the broad side of a barn the last two times I've played. My shot was pretty "on," and my bad knee felt just fine (not even one "pop"). I had a great Caesar salad with chicken and avocado for dinner, and ended up having a pretty great day. I had a bit of a revelation at basketball. I STILL have WAY TOO MUCH gut. So many people are screaming at me telling me how thin I am, but I'm NOT. I get that I look pretty different compared to where I was in January (when I started my MFP/JGMTD journey), and that people freak out/get jealous/whatever, but I don't think I have body image issues. Rather, I truly believe that I still have a ways to go on my journey. I said I would stop at 185. Maybe 180 is the number. Maybe I just need to start eating more at maintenance as I get back into heavy lifting. I don't know. I feel good today, though. Sorry for the rant!
5/23 = 194.6 (+1.2). This is when I know my sugar issues are an actual addiction. I can't have a slip one day and think that I'm okay the next day. I can't pretend that it didn't happen. A slip is a sign, and that should put me in high alert. That's what I would tell my patient. I would also tell them to be kind to to themselves, and to have some compassion, so I'm going to try to remember that, too. I didn't give my Saturday lapse the attention it deserved, and last night was a sign that my underlying issues are still there. I'm stressed, and will be until Tuesday, because of work issues. I binged last night on chocolate. It was bad. On some level I knew what was happening. My wife didn't say a word, not that it's her responsibility to. I have got to depend on myself, and I let myself down a little bit. Time to stop the bleeding today, and to get back to my good Keto habits. I don't want this to turn into a full blown relapse. I've worked too hard.
5/24 = 195.8 (+1.2). I initially freaked out at seeing this, because I ate well yesterday. But then I remembered the day before (psycho-binge, sugar), and figured that this is likely some holdover from my awesomeness that day. It's really not that fun to see this number, but I'm going to let it go. Basketball and the gym tonight. I'm going to eat uber-healthy today. I'm really hoping to see a significant drop tomorrow. Before I sign off for the day, I want to remind myself out loud that I'm super-stressed at work right now, and it doesn't get any better when I go home (doing an overtime project). At this point I'm really hoping just to settle down toward my SW for this round. *Edit* I'm actually feeling a little bit depressed right now - it's raining outside, I got wet on my ride in, I am feeling a bit out of control right now (still related to what happened 2 days ago). I am on "high alert" food-wise because, if I'm not, this could easily end up a disaster. I'm having poké for lunch, and my wife is picking up a nice keto-friendly salad for me for dinner. No sweets today of any kind. Only keto-friendly snacks.
5/25 = 194.6 (-1.2), BF% = 16.2. I'm feeling more settled after a mini-BWHOOSH™. I definitely ate over-calories yesterday, but it was a basketball day, so I burned them off (and then some). My acknowledgement of the day: I have too many sweet snacks at work, and I need to stop. I'm learning about sugar alcohols, and that just because something says it has a certain level of "net carbs" does NOT mean it's Keto-friendly. So I have a couple of "treats" here that I probably shouldn't. On a day like yesterday, they made up about 1/2 of my (even) net carbs. When you have 20g of net carbs or so a day, that doesn't leave a lot of room for actual food. And I like food. I'm going to work on this. Basketball sucked last night, by the way. I play with 2 different groups of guys: the first is super organized, and everyone contributes their fair share to the permit (my Saturday group); the other group is terribly disorganized, very few people contribute to the permit, and no one cares about trying to set up teams so that games are actually competitive (which happens on Saturdays). I'm going to fix it (my Monday/Thursday group), or else I'm going to quit. That's what I've decided.
5/26 = 192.2 (-2.4), BF% = 16.3. I weighed late today (by about 2 hours), but I'm putting it down anyway. I didn't have the most amazing day eating yesterday, but I was okay. Tomorrow will be the true measure of where I'm actually at. I feel okay, though. Working all weekend. I'm going to try to get to the gym once.
5/27 = 194.0 (+1.8), BF% = 16.5. This feels like a much more realistic number, so I'm okay with it. I've decided to put Keto on hold for the time being, for a few reasons (all of which are related to my choice). I'm still going to go "low carb" compared to where I used to be; I'm not going to eat sweets, I'm going to stay away from processed food/carbs, and I'm going to keep my focus on whole, natural foods. I'm also going to make sure to keep my focus on healthy fats (avocado, coconut, and olive oil). I need a break, and I need to spend a little bit of time reassessing. I miss being able to eat fruits and vegetables. If you knew how I ate before all this, your jaw would be hitting the floor right now. This is MY choice (no pressure from anyone), and I know that if I want to try Keto again, I can do it.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18--218.4 Back to my lowest weight so far this year. Kettlebell tonight.
5/19--218.0 Got home after kettlebell and realized I had walked less than 5k steps. So after I ate I took the dog out and got in the rest of my steps in. Really have to work to get my water in on the weekends. Going car shopping today!
5/20--217.5 Surprised about the drop. We'll see if it sticks. Got my 10K steps in again yesterday, same thing as the day before where I had only taken 5k steps before having to take the dog on an evening walk. So, today what I did was take the dog on a long walk in the morning and I have gotten my 10K steps in. Working on water today.
5/21--218.0 Not surprised about the rebound. Did not get a lot of water in yesterday. Kettlebell tonight and probably another walk with the dog to get the rest of my steps in.
5/22--217.3 Did better with water yesterday, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bounce back again tomorrow. Decided not to go to kettlebell last night, just didn't feel like it. Instead hung out with hubby and dog and we all went for a long walk in the evening and got my steps in.
5/23--217.8 Normal fluctuation. So far I've weighed in below my starting weight every day. Did not get my steps in yesterday, chose not to go for an evening walk instead did some work around the house. Kettlebell tonight and will go out for a walk later tonight to get my steps in.
5/24--218.0 So sore this morning after tough kettlebell workout last night. Definitely retaining some water. Yesterday after I came home from kettlebell I had some dinner and then took dog out for a walk to get my 10K steps. Making sure that today I get my water in.
5/25--218.0 My knee was feeling a little off yesterday, so I didn't go for a walk last night to get my steps in. It still feels a little sore today, so not sure if I will be go to kettlebell tonight, but I will get my steps in today.
5/26--218.2 I've eaten about 2-3 hundred more calories than usual the last two days, still below my maintenance calories, and I see how the extra food is causing increased water weight. Trend is still downwards and so far my average weight for this round is hanging on in the 217's. Got my 10k steps in yesterday. Going for a short hike this morning, so I will be able to get my steps in early today. Going for a swim and then running errands and doing some work around the house. As it's the weekend I have to make a conscious effort to get my water in. Depending on how the weather is today there will also be some BBQing and hanging out with the dog outside.
5/27--217.1 Stepped on the scale twice to make sure. I was short 356 steps yesterday Yesterday I got most of my steps in earlier in the day and assumed that based on my planned regular activities I would reach my step goal, but then I ended up having a lazy afternoon and evening and went to bed early and I forgot to check my watch before going to bed to make sure I got my steps in. Well, I still have today to reach my 10k step goal for this round, so I will update later today once I've reached my goal. I will make it.
R41: AW 217.83 (-1.35)
UPDATE: Almost forgot to post...got my 10k steps in....reached my 7/10 10k steps goal

5/20
5/21 - 64.8kg
5/22 - 63.9kg (-0.9kg) - I don't know what happened there but I am not complaining! My guess is water weight dropping off after a low carb and low sodium day yesterday. I'm taking it as a win though! Back to my SW from R35 and readjusting my goal for this round.
5/23 - 63.4kg (-0.5kg) - Stuck to my calories and went for a long walk with a friend yesterday. I'm dubious about this number and expecting my period soon so won't be changing my goal again for this round.
5/24 - 63.1kg (-0.3kg) - I was oh so hungry yesterday and ate at maintenance but it was all "good" food. I also managed to recognise and avoid stress/boredom eating so I'm chalking it up as a win! Learnt my lesson and didn't skip breakfast this morning to avoid the same hunger today.
5/25 - 63.0kg (-0.1kg) - Looks like I'll have to work hard for this last 200g! Day off today and have prepped and pre-logged my lunch and snacks to avoid grazing all day. I think I need a padlock on my fridge sometimes!
5/26 - 62.7kg (-0.3kg) - I'm blown away by my results this round. I was down to 61.5kg in R35 so it's clearly just my body getting back into the swing of it after a few rounds off. Did well yesterday - focused on whole foods for the most part. Out tonight for a girls night with lots of wine and nibbles so I will probably be above my goal tomorrow but I am happy to be under my goal for the round today
5/27 - 64.2kg (+1.5kg) - Well, I knew it was coming but ouch! That's what a belly full of sourdough and cheese looks like.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18: 135.6, enjoyed a nice date with wine tasting and 1/2 of a thin crust pizza. Well worth the salt blowup.
5/19: 134.8, a little under my daily minimum calories and macros too fat heavy. Very busy at work yesterday and a sick dog all last night. I'm curious to see how my energy level will affect my appetite and cravings today.
5/20: 134.2, been putting in a lot of work hours = lack of meal prep and cooking. Eggs are this girl’s best friend. Egg salad (3 medium eggs + .5 TBS mayo + .5 TBS mustard) on 1 slice of Dave’s Awesome bread-thin slice is a very filling meal.
5/21: 134.2, was at a deficit yesterday, but I was preoccupied with snackish-junk food; a sure sign I was tired. Good thing I didn’t have cash on me and I was too busy most of the day to cave in. The accountability of this challenge and my group text friends is really keeping me on track. Thank you everyone.
5/22: 133.4, certainly enjoyed this. Not a lot of food yesterday which isn’t great. Definitely looking forward to my next day off.
5/23: 133.4, looking like this is going to stick.
5/24: 134.4, after 3 days of eating sugar I’m not surprised.
5/25: 133.6, restaurant food, wine tasting, and dancing all night. I wonder what tomorrow will look like.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18 - Friday - 203.6 - So yesterday afternoon we went to the city to pick up parents from airport. Long ride with traffic so I had to be careful not to drink too much water. Its such a fine line between hydration, and too many bathroom breaks. So I dont think I hit my water goals yesterday. But we got back around 8 and all went out to dinner. I made an improved choice; sesame ginger salmon with soba noodle salad rather than pulled pork mac and cheese. 1 pc of bread, a few sweet potato fries (1 oz) and a bite of DH's mac and cheese and I came in riiiiight around calorie goal for the day - a slight bit over on sodium. Todays morning went a little off plan. Didnt pack lunch because of it. Ended up getting vietnamese vermicelli bowl with pork and shrimp and fresh salad. I think I logged it fairly accurately. Again, an improved choice from a steak and cheese or a whole order of pad thai that are my other usual favorites to walk to from work. Tonights dinner is chicken thighs, asparagus, and potatoes grilled and planning on 1/2 pint of halo top for dessert - IIFYM! I'm not stressing about the nitty gritty details right now. I'm making better choices, and I'm learning to enjoy them as much, if not more than my old habits. Last nights salmon didnt leave me feeling bloated and stuffed, just satisfied and full, and thats a nice feeling! Baby steps to make sure that this time around I'm cultivating a new way of eating that will benefit my body, mind and soul - not just a diet to look better in the mirror.
5/19 - Saturday 203.0 - Busy day - Adams trip to pick up more eggs and meat. Grilled some ribs and snacked my way through the day. About 400 over on cals but mostly good food choices.
5/20 - Sunday 204.4 - Another busy day. Picked up herbs and did some gardening. Picked up a meat bread and caramel apple at the bakery next to the hardware store for lunch. Grilled chicken and steak. Made quinoa balls, hard boiled eggs. Went to laundromat in evening and started feeling poorly. Another day above calories because of the caramel apple. But I'm not sweating it - I enjoyed, I logged it, I moved on.
5/21 - Monday 203.6 - Sick. Ate some chicken rice soup, stayed in bed all day.
5/22 - Tuesday 201.0 - Sick - another day in bed. Had my appetite back and ate poor food choices but stayed close to calories (velveeta and chicken nuggets - why do I turn into an 8 year old when I'm sick?) Didnt take my meds the past two days because of being sick. I went to post this yesterday and hit done instead of post and I was too sick and tired to do it all over again. But I definitely do need to be better about checking in on the weekends regardless.
5/23 - Wednesday 202.0 - back to work! Still feeling under the weather but I'm upright! Now, lots of water today to flush this sickness out of me. Packed a good lunch, skipped my breakfast smoothie today but its back to good choices for the rest of the week into the weekend to reach my goal on Sunday. Seeing the 202 today is good but I expect some fluctuations before Sunday.
5/24 - Thursday -200.8 - Drank lots of water yesterday but still didnt have too much of an appetite. I tried to eat foods that were calorie dense and nourishing. This weight will probably be hard to maintain over the weekend - but I'm reviewing my goal of 202.5 and committing to myself that I will not sabotage it just because it's the weekend. I will enjoy myself after weigh in on Sunday and on the holiday Monday - but not overboard. Back to my healthy habits today - breakfast smoothie, packed lunch, and homemade dinner planned for this evening. Woohoo for feleling better and a long weekend upcoming!
5/25 - Friday - 199.4 - Ugh, thought I was feeling better. But my appetite is still weird. I cant sleep either, my head hits the pillow and I start coughing like crazy, even though I'm propped up. Yesterday I tried to eat my usual breakfast and got thru about 2/3 of it. Ate my lunch but didnt exactly enjoy it. Was going to have breaded pork chops and parmesean spinach quinoa - but ended up making a tomato spinach quinoa salad with mustard vinagrette and grilled pork chops. It's funny its like my brain wanted comfort foods but then my body was screaming for something a little more nutritious. Had some peanut butter crackers for dessert. I logged around 1200 cals of food yesterday. Couldnt stomach breakfast today. Going to eat what I want today (still log it of course) and see what happens tomorrow. All that being said, I'd be lying if I said I wasnt excited to see onederland this morning!!! But, as always, I'm prepared for all kinds of fluctuations back and forth from onderland until it sticks.
5/26 - Saturday 200.4 still coughing thru the night and allergies horrendous. Stayed on the couch and tried to hydrate but fell a bit short. Made dirty rice in the late afternoon. Ended up running an errand late in the evening and got a burger king lemonade and spicy chicken sandwich. It was the first thing to taste good in a while so I just enjoyed it, logged it and moved on.
5/27 - Sunday 200.4 - still didn't sleep thru the night. Made soup out of the dirty rice and had a cup or two and started perking up. Went out to dinner at Italian American place and finally said yes to pasta on a night out. It was worth it! Enjoyed a little bit of everthing, that was the key...a little. Finishing up this round and starting the next, hopefully with improved health! (this is my 3rd time trying to post because I keep hitting done instead of post on mobile!!! $&#&÷!!!)4 -

5/17: 149.0. (T-1) Another day for sleeping in. That’s okay. I’ll have plenty of activity today. The yard needs mowing and I’ll push away from my desk and walk at lunch. Lunch is packed.
5/18: Field trip with the girl child, spelunking. Morning workout. Food- was okay.
5/19: 148.5. Logged it. Won’t see it again for a while, but I happened. Weight lifting. Followed by golf. Lots of activity. But the food just wasn't there. A couple glasses of wine. Some chocolates...
5/20: Busy day in the kitchen. Food was plentiful and on plan but wasn't logged. Active day but no formal activities. Tracker at 12k steps. No happy face today since the food just wasn't there.
5/21: 152.0- Was away from MFP this weekend. Allowing myself to have some freedom from tracking lately and few things (ice cream, wine, grilled cheese) that are not within my "plan". Today I am back on track. Excited to see a new number (<149) in the days to come as I shed the retained water from my indiscretions. Walked at lunch with Leslie. Mowed the yard after work with some other yard work. ~17k steps. Food was on track and logged. It was a GOOD day! 17k steps
5/22: 150.0- Morning weight workout. Won’t be able to walk at lunch. Got in about 15 mins of TKD before the girl child overheated and we had to go home. Food within boundaries. And logged. 12K steps
5/23: 148.5- Slept hard last night. Body temperature is up. Is Weight lifting causing this? No morning workout. Walked at lunch. Took another after dinner. 12k steps. Food was good and Logged.
5/24- 147.0- Logged it. We’ll see if it keeps. No workout this morning. Lunch walk isn’t going to happen. Evening workout is going to prove difficult. May need to plan for a “rest” day with an alarm set for the morning. Changed up my “boundaries” and made a “PLAN”. N- good. E- Rest. 8k steps S- Breaking the screens at bed time is going to prove difficult. S- No yoga last night, but I did actually sit with the kids and laugh at Hollywood Game Night.
5/25- 147.0- Wooo. Must be real. I even woke up feeling bloated. Weights this morning. Lots of walking planned for the work day. Not sure what the night looks like. 18k steps. Food on track. Good day.
5/26: 147.0 Out with a friend. Took the day easy.
