Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - 166.8 - did w1d1 of c25k for the 2nd time ( repeating 1st week to avoid moving too fast).
03/25 - 167.8 - Gained from the day before as I had a little too much fun for Sunday Funday woke up early for a short Core workout and walked 35 min on my lunch break. PM workout included some more core strength workout using a Noelle Benepe circuit (check her out on Instagram) and a 20 min cardio video
03/26 - 166.4 - have to go home on my lunch break so no walk at lunch time today. Plan to do W1D2 of C25k this evening. It is a beautiful sunny spring day. Chilly, but sunny. Will also do another round of NB's core strength workout. I am working on my core to improve my balance in the tack (horseback riding...dressage).

03/24 - 177.5 My body must love to weigh 177 pounds because I've been around here for 40 damn days. Demotivating. I know it's a plateau and I'll get through it, it's my mantra these days.

03/25 - 176.3 Well that's nice for a change. I didn't walk all weekend and at around 1700 calories (adjusting for exercise) for the last week. Now that I'm finally down a tiny bit, do I keep with the 1700 or do I go back down?

03/26 - No scale Travel time again. Drove over last night, stopped at the Katy Trail for a 3 mile walk. It was beautiful. I walked over the Missouri river that is very high, several dams have broken north of here. I took some pics. I'm going to check it again when I drive home tomorrow, see how high its gotten in 2 days. I ended up at 1445 yesterday. MFP tells me 1440 is my calorie goal, so pretty darn close. NSV ALERT: I tried wrapping one of the tiny hotel towels around me and it went around me. I was able to tuck in the corner and half my body wasn't exposed - nothing was exposed. I've been so frustrated with this process this felt like a big win. Gym tonight and and three + on the trail tomorrow. Even if I'm not losing weight I have to be healthier with all this exercise.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24--213.4 Not sure why the jump on the scale. I ran my 5k this morning! It was a lot better than I thought it would be since during my c25k training I had only ran at most 3.0km. Now I need to get ready to start my training for a 10k in June. After the 5k I had plan to rest/relax for the rest of the day, but I will go out for a walk later this afternoon to help with any soreness. I have a massage booked for Tuesday, so that should help with any residual soreness.
03/25--214.2 Jump due to soreness from the 5k. I plan on relaxing today. Trainer tomorrow.
03/26--212.5 I knew there would be a drop on the scale when I woke up this morning and didn't feel sore anymore. Tonight is the trainer and then a massage.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

3/24 129.0 Had a headache after family brunch didn’t leave the house. High salt late supper at home.
3/25 129.0 No control over where visitors chose to eat but making the best choices possible for ME. No big TMI visits for a couple of days so feeling really bloated!
3/26 130.0 Still no TMI. Sweet DSIL is coming to stay with us for 3 days so eating should be much better. Taking her daughter to the airport. Going to El Pollo Loco as often as DSIL wants because she loves it and doesn’t have it at home!

********LOOK AND SEE HOW MUCH THESE 10 DAY CHALLENGES HAVE HELPED ME********


Day/Weight/Comment
03/23 …..189.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

03/24 ….. 188.0….. I had so much paperwork to do / catch up on when I got home. Not much movement/just more & more sitting but following WOE well. I handled cravings after travel surprisingly well. Yesterdays stats: 1069 Calories In / 2049 Calories Out. 12 Net Carbs. 8,199 Total Steps & 3.48 Total Miles. IF 12:12. Had 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 21 minutes. My only exercise was 10 minutes on elliptical. Today is my busiest work day (all the check-outs after the weekend here at the motel & cabins). I will easily get my steps in. Tonight I will have a movie night with my son. He & his Autism is the whole reason I have stayed in this barren & unforgiving town. I miss living closer to the city life! I’ve been here 21 years now. When I first moved here I had my mother, many aunts & uncles & cousins that I trusted to watch my son or be an emotional support. Hey, to be a work at home mom (with this small business opportunity) allowed me to get early educational & medical intervention for him, so this whole thing was a great idea at the time & it worked! He is doing so well, all things considering. But my mother passed away 14 years ago & every single aunt & uncle have also passed. My son graduated high school almost 4 years ago. I feel like I have little reason to stay in this exact spot. Feeling trapped some days. Job doesn’t feel as rewarding as it once did. My other kids & grandkids (who have all grown up here) are married & solidly living here so it is hard to leave. I have a lot to think about in the next couple of years. What I really want to do is be out there in Vegas with @quiltingjaine . I am coming up on age 59 so I can retire soon, but property is hard to sell here because the population is so low. Trying to keep my chin up & find my way out of this mess. BTW. I own another motel & cabin operation nearby that I bought in 2008. . I bought it to place my oldest daughter in (she manages it) so she could be that work at home mom too. Have I dug myself a hole I can’t get out of? I guess time will tell. Sorry for the rant. I guess I just wanted to finish my story that I started last round. There was definitely a plan & a need when I got to this one horse town & I will forever be grateful for what it has done for my family and my son. It is a beautiful place & a kind, loving, forgiving place and it has been great to raise my children here. Thanks for listening & expressing an interest in my story via your emails . Good luck everyone on this round. If I can stay away from the city I will see some weight loss I’m sure! 2 days out of town scheduled for this round that I know of. Day Trips. I will try to stay strong.

03/25 …..188.8 ….. Wow. I can’t believe it bounced up that easily. I took my son out for lunch during our heavy work day yesterday. Carbs were just a touch higher but stayed within an acceptable level. This must be sodium or normal fluctuation. We worked hard, then enjoyed our movie night. We watched Incredibles 2 on Netflix. In LOVE with baby Jack! What an Incredible movie (sorry for the pun). The world waited a very long time for another Incredibles movie. It was worth the wait. My movie snack was sugar-free jello with 1 TBS cool whip to make me feel special (less than 2 carbs). Stats for yesterday: 1061 Calories In / 2692 calories out. 53 Net Carbs. 12,612 Total Steps & 5.34 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 14 minutes & woke up refreshed. I took a 31 minute walk but otherwise rested & enjoyed the movie. The art work was also phenomenal. I feel pretty good about yesterday. I feel like I passed the test at the restaurant which is a HUGE NSV for me. I feel powerful today. It will be a busy day. I hope everyone enjoys their week. Thanks for the inspiration you all have given me this morning as I fast & enjoy my morning black coffee. One foot in front of the other, I can do this again today. Thanks guys!

03/26 …..187.6 ….. Okay that’s better. Not sure what happened yesterday but it leveled out, whatever it was. Yesterdays stats: 1031 Calories In / 3077 Calories Out. 8 Net Carbs. 22,130 Total Steps & 9.38 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 15 minutes & woke up refreshed. I exercised myself nearly to death yesterday (for an old lady, that is!) I walked for 115 minutes inside the school. It is so nice that they've left it open for us walkers during spring break. I also danced for 43 minutes. Sample song was “Shooting Star” by Bad Company. Today I go to my DD’s house to help prep the DGS’s drawers, closets & general clothing for upcoming spring. A bigger job than it should be because the boys are MESSY & it looks like an explosion went off in their room. Mean Nana is there to work today & they are on Spring Break so they will be helping, like it or not! Have a great Tuesday everyone!

03/27 ….. ….. 03/28 ….. ….. 03/29 ….. ….. 03/30 ….. ….. 03/31 ….. ….. 04/01 ….. ….. 04/02 ….. …..
