9/05 - Wednesday - 183.0 - Set my goal weight a litte lower than my usual - but I've been hovering here for a while so I feel a whoosh coming my way! Well, this morning was actually a whoosh - this puts me at 29.6 lbs lost! And so close to my short term goal #2! And so close to overweight BMI from obese BMI! I still didnt find my scale last night!!!! It's been a kind of rough morning so far. Exhaustion both mentally and physically is catching up to me. Need to do some self care over the next few days.

9/06 - Thursday - 183.5 - Busy night last night. Worked on the in-law, cleaned drained and refilled hot tub, cooked dinner and slept over there because it was too hot. But I stayed up too late watching movies cause it was like being on vacation. Ooops. Another busy day today - work is stressing me out. Trying to stay mindful and centered despite it all.

9/07 - Friday - 182.5 - WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Short term goal #2 HELLO!!! On my way to overwight BMI all the way from obese class 2!!! And it's Friday. I'm going to revel in today's positives and push the negative to the side!!!

9/08 - Saturday - 182.5 - I was in such a mood last night. Let myself get too hungry and it was all downhill fro there. Rallied for friends dinner and the night turned out okay. Moved last things today, final wlak thru at apartment tomorrow. I need a nap. But planning to go to the fair tonight and i might not log...nah I'll log it and move on! Excited to do something fun after all this hard work!

9/09 - Sunday - 183.0 - I logged fair food as best I could. I also didnt go totally nuts eating wise so that was a win. Definitely enjoyed myself though. Went to dog festival today and ate some vegan spring rolls and then a huge sandwich on the way home. So worth it. Cooked dinner at home, pizza grilled cheese and tomato soup. Almost ordered out - gosh it snowballs so fast when I eat comfort foods I just want more! Glad I found something comfort foodish with food I had in the house cause the calories werent bothering me by the end of the weekend the cash was!

9/10 - Monday - 184.0 - Really not so bad considering! Have not drank enough water today and have a salty meal planned for dinner - but it is what it is and I'm feeling good. I REALLY need to start drinking my protein shake at some point in the day again and get better with taking my meds and start taking fish oil again. Those little habits make a big difference!

9/11 - Tuesday - 184.5 - Not surprising - not letting it get me down! Drank protein shake for breakfast and took my fish oil! Doing my best to drink lots of water today. Feeling positive that the upward trend stops today and I'm back on track! Pre logging dinner to see where I'm at for the day.

9/12 - Wednesday - 183.0 - Yay! Yesterday was the suck. Everything I touched turned to crap. Work was brutal. Got home and the washing machine started acting up. Ate dinner, tried to relax, ended up eating an entire chocolate bar. Figured I'd call the appliance repair place today, they are closed. BUT that crappy day did make me very grateful for all that I have and the people I have to lean on. And it was a good reminder that no matter what happens today, tomorrow is a new day to kick butt!

9/13 - Thursday 183.5 - Now to have it stick around til tomorrow. Questionable. It's been another hellish day. I ate wendys yesterday after I finsished my lunch because I was still hungry. Still around maintenance for the day - but I've been really hungry the past few days so trying to keep it somewhat under control while still listening to my body. Have not drank enough water so still working on that. Meh, this round is the first one since I've started that I've felt my commitment wavering a bit. Well, maybe not even commitment just motivation. And my usual back up plans have not been established in my new routine. So I'm feeling glum about everything. This too shall pass.

9/14 - Friday - 183.5 - 2 Lbs this round! Met my goal! Planning on taking a little self care reset break and eating around maintenance for a few days. Negative thoughts have been creeping in lately, so really focusing on changing my inner dialogue to a more positive tone. I have achieved great things and will continue to do so!

In for my 9th Round!

Round 44 End Weight = 165.8 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)
Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 47 End Weight = 157.2 (2.4 lbs lost)
Round 48 End Weight = 155.2 (2.0 lbs lost)
Round 49 End Weight = 151.2 (4.0 lbs lost)
Round 50 End Weight = 149.9 (1.3 lbs lost)
Round 51 End Weight = 146.2 (3.7 lbs lost)

Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs (June 18, 2018)
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)

Round 52 Goal: Reach the "normal" BMI weight range, 144.9 or under
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in weeks 7-8 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/day
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.

9/05 = 146.2 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday was a rest day in my 90 day challenge, much needed too! Today will be day 45 exercises and I had thought to get a short run in but my legs are giving me all the NOPES! So will have to wait another day for that. Only 2 more days left for this forecast-ed horrible heat wave, bring on Fall, I want the cooler weather It makes exercising so much easier and I love running in cool temps. I'm excited for this new round, welcome to the newbies and welcome back to everyone else...."Every day is a new chance to change your life."

9/06 = 145.9 (down .3 from yesterday) Super busy day yesterday and didn't get my workout in until after 8 pm. I had hoped it would've been cooler by then but I was still a super sweaty mess after. This one was a hard workout, but felt so accomplished after completing it. Today is day 46 of 90 (halfway completed!) and is yoga which I love. This morning I noticed that I am feeling lighter in spirits as well as lighter in weight, being overweight had really affected my moods. I'm so happy to be feeling happy again

9/07 - 146.6 (up .5 from yesterday) Annoying, but not discouraging. Just normal, weird scale fluctuations, I'm used to these by now, but I would like to see it going in the other direction Patience. I'll wait for the scale to catch up and continue on kicking *kitten* with my workouts and making healthy choices with my eating. I also track with a weigh trending site and it had my trending weight yesterday a 149.03 and today 148.79, so even when the scale fluctuated up today, my trend is that I am still losing weight. "It does not matter how slow you go as long as you do not stop."

9/08 = 146.6 (no change from yesterday) Super late weigh-in today, great sleep in and there is a chill in the air this morning, such a nice change! I swapped my workout days and took yesterday as a rest day, so I've got a good challenging workout scheduled for today instead. I've been really low on my water intake the last couple of days, which is not normal for me, so need to focus better on that today as well. I'm still hoping even with the scale fluctuations this week, to make my goal of being in the "normal" BMI range within the next few days. I need to drop 1.7 pounds this round to accomplish this, totally do-able! Have a great weekend, everyone!

9/ 09 = 146.2 (down .4 from yesterday) So, the scale has settled back to the number I started this round on. Now hopefully it will start dropping again! I completed day 48 of 90 exercises yesterday and will do day 49 today which will complete week 7. Excited to start week 8 on Monday, I want to get through this!!! 90 days is hard, I will be sticking to 30 day plans from now on I went clothes shopping yesterday to a store I shopped for summer clothes in back in June before I started losing weight. I was a size 10 on bottoms and a size large for tops then and yesterday I was a size 6 for bottoms and a size small for tops. Super happy with this progress! I only bought a couple of things though because I still have a bit more weight to lose and these won't fit for too long hopefully. I also scored a dress, at a discount store, for my 15th wedding anniversary in October, it's a gorgeous Michael Kors black dress, original price $110, marked down to $29 - Bananas! Love it when that happens

9/10 = 145.7 (down .5 from yesterday) Nice downward movement on the scale this morning! Lots of running around doing errands yesterday, but got my day 49 workout in, definitely felt stronger on some of the moves than when I did it earlier in the week (each week there are 2 new workouts that get done twice each that week + a yoga workout, and 2 rest days). I put a batch of chili in the slow cooker in the morning and was glad I did that because errands ran late and I was starving - the urge to say let's just eat out (i.e. something quick and junky) was strong but knowing I had something healthy and delicious ready as soon as we got home, helped me stay on track and eat as planned. However tonight we are going out to a nice dinner, so I'm mostly fasting today and doing OMAD to stay on track with my calories. This usually works fine for me, although higher restaurant sodium may cause a slight blip up on the scale tomorrow. I'm encouraged that I now feel totally comfortable going out to dinner at this stage of my weight loss journey. I'm no longer in the place where I think one meal off plan will derail my progress. "What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while."

9/11 = 145.1 (down .6 from yesterday) Very happy with this number after eating out last night! I had a green smoothie after my workout yesterday (I have a green smoothie everyday) and then fasted until dinner. My husband picked a Sushi/Ramen restaurant, so I was a little nervous about the sodium. But is was more an upscale/fusion restaurant than a take-away type of restaurant, so I think a little bit healthier. By the time dinner rolled around, I had already had 10 glasses of water, 2 more with dinner, so I think that helped. I ate what I wanted but just in smaller servings: pork belly bao, vegetable spring rolls, edamame in garlic butter, Korean bulgogi with rice, & a pear juice Margarita. A nice night. Today is day 51 of 90 which is a rest day in my exercise plan, but as long as the rain stays away or stays just a light drizzle I plan on getting in a short run.

9/12 = 145.5 (up .4 from yesterday) Shoot! was so close to getting to the normal BMI range and it goes back up, maybe delayed reaction from Monday's dinner. Oh, well, I'll get there soon enough. Yesterday was a rest day but I've got a tough day 52 of 90 workout scheduled for today and will try to up my water intake as well, only was at 8 glasses yesterday. Goal of 144.9 this round may not happen, but I'll try my hardest, it will be close! "A small detour doesn't mean you have to stop! It just means it may take a little longer to get there."

9/13 = 145.3 (down .2 from yesterday) This has been a really off round for me, but I had a big loss last round and I am still well ahead of the arbitrary weight loss goals I made when I started in June. While I do think weighing daily is important for me, I am less and less attached to the number emotionally. I'm not going to be upset by a specific number on the scale; it just doesn't have that power over me anymore. These days I am only really interested in how I feel during my workouts (am I getting stronger, where are areas that need improvements, how is my endurance) and with how my clothes are fitting. I tried on a pair of jeans last night that I haven't worn in at least 8-10 years and they fit! One more day left to this challenge, we'll see what it brings. If I don't hit my goal, it is just something to look forward to achieving in Round 53.

9/14 = 143.7 (down 1.6 from yesterday) Well, this puts me in the "normal" BMI range. Unfortunately, I got here by bad means. I started feeling sick last night and not to be TMI & gross but major digestive issues is the cause of this 1.6 lb drop from yesterday. Still not 100% this morning. I've got to rally and get it together though because my daughter and I are going out of town for the night. I am taking her to see her very 1st concert, she is so excited! I have been promising her a concert for over a year but no one she really wanted to see was on tour or had a concert near us. So we compromised on a concert that I thought would have a young (safe) crowd and are going to see Niall Horan.. He was in One Direction, which she was never a huge fan of, but she does like his solo music so it should be fun. We are staying overnight at a hotel and won't be back home to weigh-in until too late on Saturday, so I'll weigh-in next on Sunday. See you in Round 53!

I'm in again!!
