Success/Struggles: I uploaded my info from January-June into the Health App so my monthly averages are accurate now rather than estimates. Regardless, it's clear I'm on a downward trend again when I'm trying to slowly gain a bit
I changed my exercise routine and thought I was accounting for things ok but I'm going to try upping my calories a bit. This weekend we are going to see Hamilton and taking the following day off so there will be some going out to eat with that which will likely bump things up a bit

The Halloween candy has really been getting me lol. I bought a huge $25 bag from walmart and we had ONE TRICK OR TREATER so.. lots of leftover candy. Plus my toddler got lots from trick or treating and I've been helping him eat it lol. Plus last week we had 3 days where someone brought in donuts or something like that at work. So I haven't been doing so good. Need to get back on track.5 -

You KNOW you aren't alone. I think there's plenty of us with little mini challenges that pop up. You'll see mine when I post tomorrow. I am curious what my average will be; certainly more than last week and the week before.

Name: Patricia
Age: 33 years old
Height: 5'7"
Total weight lost: 16 lbs.
Time it took to lose: 12 to 14 months
How long in maintenance: 4 days
Maintenance weight range: 124 - 125 lbs.
Week of...
November 4: 124 lbs.
Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: Not sleeping enough during work weekdays (I only work officially during the weekdays) has always been a struggle for me, so I tell myself mentally that eating too much will not make me feel more alert just because I am sleep deprived. Instead, I go home earlier, take a nap with the light on, wake up, keep working, then go back to sleep and press on through the week.
Keeping it going,
The New Maintenance Member

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I'm still adjusting to the Daylight Saving time change so my sleep schedule has been a bit weird this week. My weight trend has gone downwards closer to the middle of the range where I'm most comfortable, which is good. I've got a very long hike coming up tomorrow (~10 miles) that I've been a bit nervous about as I've only hiked something around that length a year ago, and haven't even walked that much in a day since June. It'll also be a bit challenging due to elevation gains, rocks, and pretty cold weather.6 -

Then yesterday got my first period in over a year (had to come off birth control a couple of months ago for health reasons but still hasn’t had it return). Mystery solved! Weight is up more than I would expect, but know some of it is just bloat/water etc. So will see what next week brings...

Successes
Stuck to food budget.
Possibly some progress in work area.
Challenges
Didn't stick to food plan. Feel somewhat deprived on food budget.
Got sucked in the computer all the time for work and non-work stuff.
Found out about some dishonest stuff about employer and contracts.
Almost no exercise.
Feeling tired in evening so canceled cultural outings invited to
am a bit all work and no play - which really doesn't make for best work results.
