New life and maybe mini GW2 will show its face again!! Additional logging -step count. Goal: over 8k steps daily. Logging the count the day before.

04/03 - 95.7 and 12,800 steps.  Let's keep this trend 🤩
04/04 - 95.5 and 10,100 steps. Tom and still dropping. Staying on track!
04/05 - 95.5 and 9,900 steps. Realized I have less then 3k steps on the way back from work. Had to take a 5km evening walk just to barely get over step count.
04/06 - 95.0 and 13,150 steps. Now that's a drop! Had drinks and a restaurant meal last night, though I think it should fit my calorie goal (didn't track to meticulously but basically had a light breakfast and lunch), so not sure why I see it now.
04/07 - 94.7 and 10,000 Steps. Got a new bike yesterday. Did over 22km on it and walking next to it, so I can't say how much exactly of each. Hurting in places I didn't know I had. Also it's weekend so I weighted a bit late. So some of this drop could be fake. Will try to not discourage myself tomorrow, not marking GW2 just yet.
04/08 - 95.0, 3,800 (2.5km) steps and 4.5 km bike. Now that I have the bike I can't really aim for steps only. Will still try to get 7K steps though since I consider the bike to be exercise, and moving is important throughout the day.
04/09 - 94.9, 11,200 (8.2km) steps and 6 km bike. So close to GW2!!
04/10 - 95.0 , 8,500 (6.1km) steps and 2 km bike. Long work day yesterday. And late night drinks. Not surprised.

04/10 - 267.6 - So today is a new day. I know my weight is up a little but I did have a bad food night last night. On the plus side my binge was NOWHERE near as big as it would have been pre MFP. And today I’m moving on from it. It’s happened, I don’t feel guilty about it, I’m not going to beat myself up about it and I’m all prepped today with chicken, mixed veg, rice, salmon, sweet potato, fruit ect.
I feel much better today and in control. I’m glad these little blips don’t have the downwards spiral effect they used to have on me. So although they still happen (but less often now) I’m taking out of it a positive that I deal with them in a healthier way now and that’s all I can ask for.

@13ecca4 it's quite a freeing feeling once you realise it's not the end of the world to have a bad day.

Day/Weight/Comment

04/03 – 141.5 – I’m actually happy to see I’m up a little bit from yesterday. I’m trying to find the balance between eating more healthy foods and not losing weight. Never thought I’d see the day…
04/04 – 140.5 – OK
04/05 – 140.5 – Happy Friday!
04/06 – 140 – Gearing up for my next to last Saturday at the office. I hope everyone else has a good weekend!
04/07 - 141.5 - I took advantage of the catered lunch yesterday at the office, then I got home so late from work, we ended up ordering pizza for supper. I'm still fine with this weight though and will try to eat more healthy today.
04/08 – 140 – That came off faster than I expected.
04/09 – 141 – Fine with this!
04/10 – 140 - OK

4/8 - 198.0
4/9 - 198.0
4/10 - 198.4

Female, age 41, 5'6"
SW - 150.1 (starting on 3/25)
Ending weight round 72 - 145.3
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for round 73 - drop 1 pound. I know the big drop in round 72 was a lot of bloat/water weight since it was my first one. I want to lose at a realistic pace for my current weight. 1 lb every 10 days is sustainable and I have a better chance of keeping it off.

4/3 - 146.2. Well, that stinks. Starting the challenge up. Wins yesterday - squeezed in a weight lifting session even though I didn’t think I would have time (traveled yesterday). Lots of areas for improvement though. Went over my calorie goal thanks to eating out and TOM cravings. Didn’t drink enough water. Goal for today - do not graze all day! I’m working from home and tend to eat all day since I’m close to the kitchen and no one else is home.

4/4 - 146.6 UGH. Wins yesterday - 45 min bodycombat class and long dog walk. That's about it. Didn't drink enough water, had a mini-binge late afternoon. Not a full on binge as I've been known to do, but enough that I went well over my calorie goal. I don't know if it's the restriction/binge cycle popping back up (full disclosure - I've had that issue in the past which is why I took a long break from MFP. After a few weeks of tracking I see it as a restriction and I rebel and binge), or if it's TOM issues, or a little of both. I'm working in the office today so hopefully I'll stick to the food I brought to work. No temptation of my own kitchen like yesterday. Will work on hydration and not bingeing today.

4/5 - 145.9 back in the right direction at least but still over last round’s ending weight. makes me nervous heading into the weekend but I hope it motivates me to focus. Wins yesterday: 45 min RPM class, long dog walk, hydrated well, did not binge, slept well. Area for improvement today - stay within calorie goal. Proud of no bingeing but I was over calorie goal a bit. Working from home again today so I need to stay away from the kitchen.

4/6 - 145.5. Trending down again so that’s good. I’m surprised actually. Wins yesterday - Zumba and a dog walk, hydrated well, slept well. I went over calories and snacked more than I should (which is why I’m surprised the number went down!). I’m going out to dinner with friends tonight. Goal is to not go overboard. Keep up with calories and water intake the rest of the day so dinner doesn’t push me too far over.

4/7 - 144.4. Hello whoosh! Surprised since I went out to dinner last night. But I stayed on plan. Wins yesterday: super hard HIIT class (cardio and weights), didn’t overdo it at a restaurant last night, enjoyed time with friends. Don’t think I drank enough water.

4/8 - 144.0. Pleasantly surprised at another drop! Lowest weight I’ve been in over a year. Wins yesterday: hydrated well, long dog walk and a yoga class, tracked all food. Goal today is to have another day like that where I fully track and stay conscious of my food choices.

4/9 144.4. Back up a little, not horrible but sad to see a little uptick. Wins yesterday: 4.4 mile run (ran for time instead of distance, so 40 minutes), pretty good hydration, got a decent night's sleep, tracked all my food. Areas for improvement: could hydrate better. And most importantly, I snacked too much and went over my calorie goal. The fatigue of tracking and that "restriction" feeling is hitting me this morning so I'm working through. I'm telling myself how much better I feel after losing these few pounds over the last month and that it will all be worth it.

4/10 - 144.2. Wins yesterday: HIIT class and a long dog walk, hit right at my calorie goal for the day. Thought I hydrated well, but I woke up really thirsty this morning so maybe not as good as I thought. Will work on more water today. I'm a little stressed about work, and I'm working from home today, so will also work on not going to the kitchen as stress kicks up.
