I did a little better yesterday, but still snacked a bit. Step by step, pound by pound, back to where I was before November - no sugar or salt cravings.

02/23 - 143.4
I have to bake cornbread this afternoon for a chili & cornbread cook off/fundraiser tonight, so salad for lunch -- and I'm hitting the gym this morning. We'll see if I continue to downward trend despite - ymmmm - cornbreads to sample! Have a lovely weekend, all.

02/24 - 145
Ooops. Too many chili samples, bowls, & cornbreads, and salt. Good, though! This gain is temporary. On to the new week, starting today. Have a good Sunday, and week to come!

02/25 - 145
I mostly behaved myself yesterday, other than some cookies at UU. But we had high winds and once home I didn't want to go back out to the Y, so not much exercise beyond a little cleaning/organizing. I plan to get there today for weights & walking and/or biking. And I'm determined to stick to my calorie goal this week. I hope.

@TerriRichardson112 Lovely photo! Where are you? I'm guessing Ireland since Scotland is a smudge? I'm dying to get back to both sometime soon - my ma was Scottish, and I've loved Ireland since my first visit.

02/26 - 145
OK, I guess I'll sit here for a few days. That's fine, I know I'm eating better and it will fall away eventually. Off to the Y in a few minutes - I feel so virtuous when I stick to my exercise plan.

02/27 - 146
Whaaa??? OK, whatever. I'm doing everything right; results will follow. Off to the Y and then the grocery for veggies - making minestrone for tomorrow. Mmmmm.

02/28 - 145
Off to the Y in a few for exercise and a fitness evaluation. Should be interesting. I'm baking bread this afternoon for a potluck this evening with my Sisters in Good Company group - love them, and the food at potluck so is always yummy and mostly healthful. Hoping to get some writing in while the bread bakes - I just started the first book in a new mystery series (I'm 4 books into another series but the publisher went out of business :-( ), and I'm all wound up as I get it going. It's easy to get lost in it and sit on my butt too long - we all know this about computers or knitting or cross stitch or reading or...., right? - so I set an interval timer to get me up every 25 min to move around for 5. Helps a lot! I also have a standing computer stand, but find it hard to use for real concentration. I'm working on that. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a good, busy, low-calorie, healthful day and wish the same for all of you!

03/01 - 145
Looks like I won't be getting back to the 30s this round, but it's March - Spring IMHO! - and I'm sprouting a new leaf. Sugar is first to go - I've eaten more added sugar in the past 4 months than in the previous 4 years. No idea what got into me, but it's getting out. Not only has it packed on a few pounds, but I hurt more the past few weeks, and sugar promotes inflammation, so.... The fitness test went great, though - aside from coming up too fat on those measures, I got high ratings on muscle strength and endurance and on BP and cardio recovery, so all is not yet lost! I can't believe we're almost to the end of this round, though. I continue to be inspired by those of you who are sticking to your plans and those of you who slip and get back up. So thanks for all that!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 180.4 Um. What? I’m totally baffled. Yesterday my weight went from 177 to 179 which I figured has got to be water weight. It’s higher today. I was within calories and had lots of water and thankfully had a much better night of sleep. Aggravating.
02/23 179.8 We went out to dinner last night to celebrate my hubby getting a new job. Was only slightly over calories, but weight is down a smidge so I’ll take it! I’m still trying to figure out my calories so I can consistently lose. So far this month, I’ve managed to maintain. I know I can get this figured out, and you guys are so supportive, thank you!
02/24 178 Coming back down. I was within calories and macros and I got my minimum 10,000 steps yesterday. 🙂
02/25 178.8 I felt like yesterday was a pretty good day. I was within calories, I got in 30 active minutes and 10,000 steps. Sodium was a bit high though. We did church, then had a relaxing day at home after.
02/26 I78.6 I’m just keeping up with what I’ve been doing! Within calories, no exrcise though. I’ve been pre logging my meals and I feel like it helps keep me on track.
02/27 178.2
02/28 177.8 Woo hoo! It's been a struggle to figure out what my calories need to be, but hopefully the trend continues down!

03/01 177.6 I’m going out to eat at a German restaurant tonight! The restaurant doesn’t have nutrition information listed, so I’m guesstimating. It’s my day off of work today, so I’m going to try and get my steps in and maybe get a short workout. Have a great day everyone!

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (My Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!

2/22-166-I leave my dad today, after taking care of him and his new knee. After the weekend, will go to where my husband and I are going to live. I look forward to living with my husband and getting to walk up and down the long paved driveway there, where we will be living (waiting for the house to be built).

2/23-166-Yesterday before I left my dad’s house, I rode 20 last miles on his bike. My legs were sore the rest of the day and that felt good. Today we will go help set up and work at a fundraiser that will have heavy food, lots of drinks and it will be a late night.
2/24-169-Heavy food and a late night. I need to drink lots of water and no alcohol. Hopefully I can get a walk in later. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everybody!!!
2/25-169-That’s OK after long hours and n the car and quick heavy dinner. We made it to our new temporary housing while our house is being built. It is great because there is a long paved driveway and I can walk the dogs every day.😊
2/26 -164-yipee! Signs of the weekend are finally gone. I walked 4 miles fast yesterday, and logged my food & drank water.
2/27-167-Walked 5 miles; the dogs love it! Heavy lunch & too many chips and dip before dinner. Once the weather gets better, I can walk 30 min. after dinner and that really helps. I need to get sewing today; I’m falling behind!😳
2/28-167-Nothing like Mexican food....that big bowl of chips, a burrito and a beer. I should get back down to that 164 I saw and I don’t have many days to do it. I’ve been walking 5 miles a day and it’s going to start paying off.

3/1-164-Whew! I hope to loose one more pound this round. If I get to 163 it will make me closer to the 150’s. It’s Friday!!!!!

I am glad all of you are here! I love reading all of your posts while I drink my coffee in the morning. ☕️🌷

02/25 - 244.8 did great today!! Over 25,000 steps, a good solid arm workout, and under calories.
02/26 - 244.6 - today was really stressful, one of my foster dogs bit a kid (said kid is fine, but still). I did not get to the gym, and stopped tracking calories after lunch 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I did pull out my exercise trampoline to get the last 2500 steps, so at least I hit my daily goal there.
02/27 - 245.1 I ate mostly okay, but did have the chocolate pudding hubby made from scratch, so no idea on the calories for that. I hit my step goal, but excitingly I jogged a mile on the treadmill at the gym!! It was in 2 half-mile increments, but for me and my asthma, that’s huge. My heart rate got way up there (177), but my I didn’t need to use my inhaler after, so that’s a huge improvement for me!!
02/28 - 244.5 got a good amount of steps today, and a lot of chores done. 20,000+ steps! On the downside, we went to the gym before dinner, but then got McDonalds on the way home 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I tried to be balanced, and got a burger and a shamrock shake for later (but no meal) and I had oranges with the burger at home.

02/21 149.8 ~ (Steps 13,942) I realize the challenge don’t actually start till tomorrow but I need to get a grip on things here. My husband and I decided to take a drive to visit the biggest book store in the States here. We only live a couple hours away so it was a nice drive plus we stopped for lunch. Unfortunately my weight has gone up these last few days. On the bright side there’s only one way to go noe, lol. I do have fantastic news within the next week, my husband will be starting his new job, yessssssssss. This means I can get a routine back, yesss yesss yesss.

02/22 148.8 ~ (Steps 19,696) ~ Yesterday was a successful day in NLS, this will be my number one focus on achieving for my weight to drop. Today I’m hoping to get a pool session in,

02/23 148.1 ~ (Steps 12,978) ~ I was about to get a pool session in plus a wonderful workout at the gym, hopefully today will be a repeat. Of course, now not getting enough sleep isn’t helping. Within the next few days that should be getting back to normal too, 👍🏼

02/24 148 ~ (Steps 12,366) ~ Not the healthiest food choices yesterday, unfortunately. On the bright side I was able to get a good nights sleep in,

02/25 147.1 ~ (Steps 18,136) ~ Even though during the day it was hectic, I didn’t turn to food yay! I ended up taking a wonderful relaxing walking after dinner, which helped with late night snacking. My husband came home with Girl Scout cookies. They went in the freezer, out of sight out of mind, lol.

02/26 146.7 ~ (Steps 11,005) ~ I need to continue with this trend, focus focus focus

02/27 146.6 ~ (Steps 18,214) ~ 👍🏼👍🏼

02/22—214—Dropping that water back off. I did 51 straight knee pushups this morning. Over halfway to my goal!

03/01—213.2—I haven't dropped off the face of the planet, but I wouldn't mind it. It sounds so restful! Today is the first day in a long while that I don't have meetings scheduled. I'm debating whether I should switch my pushups challenge from knee pushups to toe pushups. I can finally do toe pushups and completed 4 of them last night.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 197.2 it really does help to exercise and not eat late at night 😄. Good start for the next ten days but the weekend is coming up and I have plans to eat out tomorrow and the husband is home this weekend, we are on opposite scales of eating, I just need to stay disciplined. Happy weekend all!!
02/23 198.8 expected. My Friday cheat day I really took advantage of and no exercise.
02/24 200.8 hopefully I got all my junk eating out of the way. Back on track today already this morning with my smoothie. ☺️
02/25 201.8. Ok, still paying for my bad choices this weekend, but it’s Monday!! Back on track, for real.
02/26 199.4. Going back in the right direction! It was hard not having a dessert last night (I did have a couple spoons of cool whip 🙃) the sugar cravings are really strong at night again.
02/27 199.2 I little loss, I’m not going to make my goal for this round if I don’t get my butt in gear. There’s too much going on after work this week so I’ve been thinking I need to have a morning routine that includes exercise but I hate getting up any earlier than I have to in the morning. Ugh! It’s all in my head, I just need to believe it’s worth it because this weight isn’t going anywhere without exercise. I can set exercise goals too and that doesn’t matter either, the excuses are bigger! Ok. That’s the end of my whining 😬
02/28 198.0
03/01 198.2. Last day at current job, so lots of goodbye junk. Not sure I’ll even make it back down to my beginning round weight, because here comes the weekend again... oh well.
