03/24 – 186.3 – after the last two rounds of very little loss, this was awesome. I just have to keep going even when the scales go up and down.
03/25 – 186.3 – happy with this after have a couple beers yesterday. Still stayed below my calories though.
03/26 – no scale – didn’t eat well and had a couple glasses of wine but recorded everything.
03/27 – 186.5 – I’m ok with this after being out of town for the past couple days. I need to exercise.
03/28 – 186.5 – Did a 3-mile walk yesterday. 😊

get healthier this year.

03/24 191.6 Surprised by this pound loss, because even though I stayed on my plan, I ate throughout the day
and only got 8,000 steps. Plan on taking a 5 mile walk around the lake, drinking lots of water and staying
keto.
03/25 192.2 Walked 13,000 steps yesterday, and stayed below my calorie goals, but did not drink much water.
03/26 192.2
03/27 192.6 Ate under my calorie goal and walked 11,000 steps. Not sure what's up...

03/24 173.4 We’re going to do church this morning, then do family pictures and possibly going out to eat after. It’s going to be a great day!
03/25 174.8 Yesterday was a pretty good day. Even if the morning was jam packed. I did manage to squeeze in a short cardio workout. We did go out to eat after pictures so I'm guessing that's what this little bump back up is about. My son says "We're eating out again!? Why can't we just eat at home?" It made me laugh! We don't eat out often and we've managed to do it three times in one week. And it made me feel kind of good that he'd rather eat at home. 😊
03/26 174.6
03/27 175.2 Hmm weight is creeping up. I ate a little higher sodium yesterday. But drank lots of water. Also got in a short walk.
03/28 173.4 This past week/month at work has been nuts! Can flu season be over already? I did get in an upper body Fitness Blender workout after work and really focused on relaxing.

03/24 No Scale

03/25 187.4 pretty lame. Still working on tweaking my calories a bit lower but definitely overdid it on the weekend. Trying to find my mojo and get back in the game.. I basically feel like I have 5 good days, see a loss, then just gain hit right back every week! On the plus side the gym has been going really well and I feel like I can see some changes in my body there so at least that is going well.

03/26 186.8 Down one lb.. at least we are headed in the right direction! Yoga today. Walked with a friend after dinner yesterday and today for some gentle cardio.

03/27 185.8 Another lb of water weight gone. Planning my meals for the day. Good lifting session yesterday.

Weekly Goals:
1200 calories + what I work out only!
drink 3 liters of water a day
lift weights 3x and streaming spin class work out 3x
try a yoga class at a nearby gym - eek! trying new things is so awkward.

The plan!!: Planned out calories and meals for the weekdays already. Just have to follow them and meet my work out goals. We're going away to Austin kid-free Saturday night (WOO!!), so I'm trying to really crush my goals this week so I don't have to deprive myself on Saturday, (but also don't want to totally derail!!) Lol. Planning to lift weights before we leave Sat and hope to walk a lot from the hotel to offset. Planned my meals/calories for the week and for the vacay, I'm thinking about packing healthy travel snacks for the drive and trying to order alternating vodka sodas and just plain sodas or light beers when we go to bars and, (since our friend we're visiting loves barbecue) I'll try and do smoked turkey or chicken with some safer sides. Wish me luck!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - Recovering from stomach bug my son shared with me (Didn't weigh in.)
03/25 - 183.3 - Survived hormone induced chocolate bowl at work freak out and almost stayed under cal goal. Tracked all (6!) pieces I ate and moved on. First TOM since starting tracking and trying not to get discouraged if my numbers go up. Also drinking extra water. Short dog walk the only exercise I felt up for.
03/26 - 184.0 - Lifted weights over lunch. Definitely feeling weak from being sick, but feel so good after working out. Signed up for my first yoga class in a couple years for tomorrow night. Excited, but def nervous too.
03/27 - 184.4 - Not sure why it's trending up, but I know it is my TOM. Also I had a big drop when I had the tummy bug so my loss a few days ago was not realistic/accurate. Still down from last week for sure. CAN NOT GET DISCOURAGED! Dropping off my car to get new tires over lunch and walking 30 minutes back to the office. There's a nice little trail most of the way back that I usually walk on at lunch anyway. Hubby offered to come get me, but I'd rather challenge myself with the exercise! Yoga/Pilates class tonight was really cool! Looking forward to going back soon.
03/28 - 184.7 - Ugh. Really trying to not get discouraged. I'm making progress and doing all the right things. Hanging in there for sure, it's just frustrating! Lifting weights over lunch.

03/25 239.2 What day am I on here? Man, internet messing up, MFP not letting me update from my phone. Grrrrr... Bumming some WiFi. New low. Down 10.6 for the first 20 days. YASSSSSSS!

03/26 238.2 Ok, hopefully seen the last of the 240's. Thinking about switching to Kg's... but 107.95 sounds a bit too light. Maybe if I do that "stones and pounds" thing. Do I have to say it with a British accent, because my Brit is pretty weak. I do a fairly good Eric Idle being a woman...

03/27 237.6 which comes out to 17 stone, or 107.8 Kg's... or on the Monty Python scale, .35 Mr Creosote, which is equal to 1.037 Cleese. Hoping to get down to an even Cleese by the end of this round.

03/287 237.0 No python fans I guess.... oh well, always look on the bright side of life. Hey, still moving in the right direction. Got a new/old road bike yesterday. Little bit of tuning up, and I'll be pedaling up to the WOD.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 Didn't Weigh-in

03/25 162.3 (up 17.2 lbs from Round 57 last fall) I'm back, recommitted and ready to tackle this again. I hit my highest weight ever last June and made a plan and stuck with it and lost a good amount of weight. Not enough to get to my goal, but enough that I was in a happy place, and then I got lazy with it all. I stopped tracking everything little thing, I started to go over calories, I'd skip a workout, and then stress started creeping in. I traded in tracking, eating healthy, and exercising, which work for me in managing stress to mindless calorie consumption, poor nutrition choices, and excessive alcohol consumption. A sure recipe for failure. So here I am back to what I know works...tracking every single thing, posting here for accountability, and managing my stress by making myself and my workouts a priority. I feel ready to reclaim me again.

03/26 = 161.2 (down 1.1 lbs from yesterday, still up 16.1 lbs from Round 57 end) Overall a good day yesterday! I was under in calories, in the right target zone for macros, & made healthy food choices. I did feel overly hungry all day but that is to be expected on "day 1" and I resisted all urges to sabotage and binge eat. There was 1 Coke Zero left in the refrigerator, so I did have that but other than that only water and did not have any alcohol. I had hoped to re-start my Betty Rocker workouts but I slipped on something and took a pretty hard fall in my bedroom yesterday. I'm fine(ish) but really tender and sore on my left side, so returning to running and strength training will have to wait a few more days. I plan to attempt some gentle yoga to stretch the kinks out and then soak in a hot Epsom salt bath tonight. Have a great Tuesday everyone! "Believe you can and you're halfway there".

03/27 = 160.3 (down .9 lbs from yesterday, still up 15.2 lbs from Round 57 end) Another successful day food wise! Definitely was hungry and almost gave in to the leftover pizza that was tempting me, but stayed the course & made a delicious healthy dinner instead. I actually prefer to eat healthy, it just takes my body a few days to reacclimate and then I really only crave nutritious things, I'm not a sweets person so that helps! I was still in a fair amount of pain from my fall but another dose of Aleve and a long soak in Epsom salts seems to have done the trick. Much better today! I plan to pick-up my running tomorrow and then add back in strength training the following day. I have a get together with girlfriends this evening, so I have pre-logged my day and plan to eat my healthy dinner (leftovers from last night) before going and am able to fit in 2 glasses of wine into my calorie allotment. So there should be no surprises on the scale tomorrow, fingers crossed!

03/28 = 159.8 (down .5 lbs from yesterday, still up 14.7 lbs from Round 57 end)Yay, under 160! I woke up yesterday and my cravings were gone and no noticeable hunger pains between meals. All good news there! I had a really great time with my girlfriends outing last night but did have some cheese and crackers at the event, I didn't go over in calories but ugh the gluten from the crackers makes me feel this morning like I did. Going to eat very clean today, to try to recover from that yucky feeling. And hoping I can get out for a short run today, as I made plans with some friends last night to run a half-marathon in the summer.

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.

03/27 - No Scale Yesterday went well work wise, calorie wise, and exercise wise. Can't ask for more than that. The weather was so nice that I went for a walk instead of weights at the gym. It was a little less interesting than walking over a flooded river but still neat. I got a good pic of the sun through some flooded woods. Every creek/lake is high so there is water everywhere. I know I'm up today, I can tell by the way my rings fit - I'm retaining water. Between travel and eating out (sodium bombs everywhere) I cannot seem to stop retaining water.

03/28 - 175.5 Nobody speak too loudly, I'm at my round goal with 5 days left. Maybe if we're quiet I won't go back up significantly. I did not end up walking on the bridge but instead waited until I got home and walked with an old friend. We had a nice easy stroll. I'm down and happy about it. Supposed to rain tonight so I'll go do weights at the gym.

03/27 153.9 today will be my third day in a row of spinning class. I haven’t noticed any difference on scale yet, so hoping that will come soon. March has been difficult because I had a ton of work and social functions so really looking forward to a April when life calms down a bit.
03/28 152.8 new lowest weight! I couldn’t believe seeing this number on the scale, but checked twice to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. Just .2 lbs away from 20 lbs total weight loss from when I started and solidly in size 12 clothing. I tried on my dresses yesterday and will be able to donate the size 16 (around 5 dresses, which felt good). I also just moved out of 29 BMI to a 28 number, so one number closer to 24.9
