7/17-191.2- no change from yesterday. Gym : Did back today. Wasn't able to get my run in but hope to get motivated after work to get it done. IT NEVER GETS EASIER,YOU JUST GET STONGER!

7/18-189.6- YES YES YES. After a year of being in the 190's I have finally broke it. Now I just need to keep it. Gym- Leg and butt with a run today. NO MATTER HOW MANY MISTAKES YOU MAKE OR HOW SLOW YOUR PROGRESS, YOU ARE STILL WAY AHEAD OF EVERYONE WHO ISN'T TRYING.

7/19-190.4- Wellllll dang it... that was short lived..lol Gym: did some heavy lifting on Bis and Tris and a short run. WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE QUITTING, THINK ABOUT WHY YOU STARTED!

I am in, but what a challenge this has been recently. I am not using my tools to do the right thing. I have an injury that is preventing me from really exercising like I am used to. So even though I am in, right now I feel a little e beaten down. Hopefully I will rise above it! My goal for this round is to get below 140# and make it stick!

7/17/2018: 104.6 - I can always tell when it's Tuesday because my weight is more in check. somehow I build momentum up on Friday late afternoon and keep it up for 4 days and then have treats.... SO, I've admitted and defined my cycle of eating. Now I need to make an improvement.

One thing I've been doing is listening to a podcast: primal potential (dot com) and I have a sign on my desk stating "to make tomorrow easier, WHAT do I need to do TODAY?" and I am reminding myself "My minimum needs are met. I am OKAY. I just need to make it through the next 5 minutes. I can make it 5 more minutes. I'm Okay. I am Safe. I am good. I love myself enough to take care of myself."


Day/Weight/Comment

7/18 - Not weighing in today. Took caliper measurements, on point. Took waist measurement - on point. So I'm happy. Leg day this morning. Felt really good. Hoping for a couple walks. Tracked my breakfast. Goal is to hit 1200cal for the day and stop.
7/19 - 103.6 I AM going to do what it takes to stay at this number. This means most likely that I will watch my food intake UBER closely the next several days. No nibbling/eating only at meals is helping a LOT.

7/13/2018 : 107 #sadface
07/10/2018: 104.0 - Convince myself NOT to eat!
07/06/2018: 105.0
June Notes: I had one day where I weighed in at 104.4.

Helpful thoughts:
+ When I go to bed, will I be stressing about this food?
+ CONVINCING myself that I'm happier, more joyful and feel amazing when I stick to my plan.
+ I feel thinner when I have an amazing day. I am NOT going to throw in the towel because today I have stuck to my menu SO far and, I know I can make it ALL the WAY today and have an AMAZINGLY healthy day! I am less bloated, mentally more happy and my MOOD is a TON better without the NEGATIVE energy on processed foods!

Change of plans for this round...I've decided to stop worrying about these last 8-13 pounds and focus on eating healthfully most of the time at or just below maintenance, getting a variety of exercise, and generally making the most of the summer. As long as I don't gain, everything is fine. If I lose a little, all the better. I also aim to reboot my daily meditation practice, which I used to do faithfully. It's all part of the picture.

Goals:
Food ~~ 1430 calories; P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 25-35%; mostly clean & healthful
Exercise: 60 minutes/day of walking/swimming + yoga/stretch class 3X/week
Weight ~~ maintain or lose slowly.

7/17 - 148.4 - 1495 - 10-day ave 1422 - 30-min walk-run intervals
I've been driving myself crazy about not losing despite cutting back to the point of going hungry, so I've changed my goals a bit. I'll be aiming for my sedentary maintenance calories (1430) plus up to half of what I earn in exercise -- happily, I'm finally back to daily walks/swimming and I'm looking at bikes. Now to resume weight training.... I've also changed my weight goal to 140, which will put me in the "normal" BMI range. I may eventually want to lose another 5-10, but I need to stop obsessing about that.

7/18 - 148.5 - 1401 - 10-day ave 1423 - 90-min slow zoo walk
Good day yesterday, although I had a bit more sodium than usual (and my actual weight went up). Last evening we went to the zoo and walked around the Indonesian Rain Forest exhibit for about 90 minutes, which was wonderful.

7/19 - 148.4 - 1345 - 10-day ave 1403
My iPad seems to have died so I'm guessing at my moving average, but my actual weight came back down, so this is close. Beautiful weather still, so I'm looking forward to a nice long walk. I'm feeling much less stressed about weight since I decided maintaining is fine!

7/18 160 Yay! I am so happy to get rid of that .4...This round should yield the 150's!!!

7/19 160 Is is cheating to take this though it was one of three weights when I stepped on the scale? Oh well, who cares, I am taking it!

Day/Weight/Comment

07/17 - Weight = 159.0 (down .6 from yesterday) I'm *hopefully* solidly under 160 after 3 days of weighing under that. 1st milestone achieved! Very happy to get to this number, this is the lowest I've weighed this year, haven't been this weight since December of last year. Yesterday was super hot and humid and my day 29 exercise challenge was power yoga which was really like a hot yoga with the buckets of sweat that fell off me. Today I compete my 30 day challenge with a full body Tabata style workout. Looking forward to the next 10 days, this is the best challenge on mfp!

07/18 - Weight = 158.1 (down .9 from yesterday) I had Subway for lunch yesterday - UGH! I haven't had any type of fast food in over 30 days and wow did I feel awful after it. I limit gluten most days, because I just feel better when I do that, but add in processed gluten like Subway's bread and I was so nauseous I didn't eat anything else really the rest of the day because of how I felt, so super low calories day which isn't great. Exercise wise, the day was AWESOME!!! I completed day 30 of the 30 day challenge I was doing and it was a super intense Total Body Tabata workout: Star Jumps, Reverse Table Top Dips, Skater Twists, Supermans, Reverse Burpees, & Pike Push-Ups. I'm crazy pound of myself for completing this and the changes from it I can really see and more importantly feel, like how much stronger I am now compared to where I started. I've given myself 2 days "off" to have a little break and decide which program I am doing next, still trying to decide between another 30 day or the 90 day. I was fairly certain yesterday about going with the 30 but this morning I feel more like the 90 day program is in the lead.

07/19 - Weight = 157.8 (down .3 from yesterday) I'm tired! Did not get to bed until a little after 3 a.m. last night and up at little before 8 this morning. Sleep is so important, obviously for many reasons - but it really plays a part in hunger. I'm so hungry this morning and I do IF 16:8 so I don't eat until 10:30/11:00 a.m., which normally is no issue at all but today I'm counting down the minutes. Yes, I know I could just go ahead and eat earlier but this is my plan and I stick to it when possible and today it is possible...I'm just cranky from no sleep. I'm on the 2nd of my planned 2 day rests from exercise and I'm ready to get back at it tomorrow, might just start today if I can stay awake

7/18 - 183.8 - Look what happens when you eat and exercise properly consistently!
7/19 - 184.4 - Had a healthy eating day yesterday, think this might be sodium intake though. I had a handful of chips with supper last night.
