Day/Weight/Comment

‪04/03 205.1‬ (5416 steps but no exercise) Okay this is a good # to start a horse show on. Hopefully we'll see a lower # by Monday morning. I zoomed around the house last night trying to get things all packed, car cleaned out, then packed again, and still get to bed at a decent hour. The night before heading for a show is like Christmas Eve. It was after midnight before my mind settled down. It's going to be LONG, HARD days and not much sleep. I'll try to check in each night before bed.

04/04 DNW (@Horse Show) 5030 steps. Wednesday was a good day except dinner. I got to the show and treated myself to Arby’s gyro and large fries. I figure I am going to burn it all off over the weekend.

04/05 DNW (@Horse Show) 20,114 steps. Thursday was a long freaking day. We were busy from dawn to dusk. Eating was okay. I honestly forgot to eat for most today of the day.

04/06 DNW (@Horse Show) 28,857 steps. Friday was an even longer day at the show (4:30am to 10:30pm). I showed both horses and walked a lot! My feet are killing me. I did well on my eating, especially not snacking between meals.

04/07 DNW (@Horse Show) 12,633 steps. Saturday was a "slow" day as we only had 1 person showing but I still had a decent amount of walking and rode Spark. Problem with eating was the sausage "casserole" that Colleen made. I have NO CLUE how to record it. I'm not even sure I know what all was in it. I DID avoid the dirt cake dessert that Kelly made (the WHOLE weekend).

04/08 204.6, 17,990 steps. Sunday was the last day of the show. I showed both horses so my steps were up. I just realized that I really didn’t drink that much water the entire weekend (maybe 2 bottles per day). Thought the scale would be lower but, I will take it.

04/09 204.0, 3954 steps. Monday after a horse show is usually a VERY difficult day but this time it wasn't too bad. I didn't have as much pain as I thought I would (knees/back). I was able to stay within my calories for the day. No LNS seeing as I crawled in bed by 8pm. LOL I was whooped. (I was going to go to beginner's yoga after work but, forgot my workout clothes. Oops.) *Next Monday I am signed up.*

04/10 204.3, 5301 steps. Tuesday I had several medical appointments. Trying to determine WHY I haven't had much of a voice for the 4wks since I had that terrible double ear infection. My eating was good until bedtime. I grabbed 2 cookies as I went upstairs and that put me into the red. Should have gone outside and walked. It was nice but breezy. Would have been worth it but I was just exhausted after my long day.

04/03 184.8 the restart woosh
04/04 183.8 the woosh continued!
04/05 182.6 one of the pluses about having kids on the spectrum is that there are worries other parents have that you don't have. Yesterday DS turned 19, legal drinking age here. We had sushi, one glass of wine and some chocolate cake then we went for a long walk. So I burned off all the cake calories, and at the end of the night I knew where he was, safe and sound in his own home talking about video games with his brother.
04/06 183.6 mea culpa - did the stress eating thing again - back on track today started with a workout
04/07 184.4 that's Ok Unexpected visit from out of town family and dinner at a french restaurant. Skipped the wine but did share DH's creme brulee (a rare indulgence and totally worth it) no more special events now until Easter.
04/08 DNW woke up late and forgot to weigh
04/09 185.4 Wrong direction! long walk with DS last night and a workout this morning so hopefully a better number tomorrow.

🦋🌸🌷Day/Weight/Comment🌷🌸🦋
04/03 171.6 Good morning everyone! I took a much needed rest day yesterday. I'm working today and getting in an upper body workout tonight. Make today a good one!
04/04 172.6 Hmm I was on track with calories and macros and I did get an upper body workout. Had lots of water. Sleep was poop though.
04/05 172.4 I feel like I'm retaining water this morning. That time is coming up in just a few days. I'm so ready for the weekend!
04/06 172 It was such a nice day at work yesterday! For the first time in a long time I didn’t feel super stressed. Then I came home and got in a Fitness Blender Workout and had a relaxing evening at home. So good!
04/07 172 I had a pretty nice day yesterday. We were going to go to a parade but it was windy and rainy so we decided against it. Today, it's church and getting some things done around home.
I was super hungry yesterday. I'm due to start any day now, so I'm trying an experiment! I'm going to eat at maintenance for a couple of days and see how that goes.
04/08 172.6 Not bad considering TOM started! I probably picked the wrong time to eat at maintenance. I did it yesterday, but it was surprisingly difficult. My appetite wasn't as big as the day before. So I'm back to normal today. Happy Monday everyone, let's make this a great week!
04/09 173.2 I’m thinking this is a combination of Sunday and time of month. I'm hoping to at least end this challenge where I started it!
04/10 173.2 Stayed the same, but I know it’s going to drop off!

Day/Weight/10-day Calorie Ave/Comment

04/03 - 151 - 10-day ave 1807
Well, harumph. My 10-day ave came down slighty, but yesterday I did have a series of snack attacks - big blueberry muffin + way too many nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews) + 2 Reese's PB cups. Not all at once! No, I spread my indulgences all through the day. Anyway, I'm off for blood work to recheck my inflammation levels and then for a long outdoor walk and then the gym for weights. And grocery for snacky veggies. And I need to drop the habit of eating while I write (I'm a writer/author and have a bad inclination to eat while I work). Gaaa! I really don't know what's gotten into me - it's been 4 years since I started this journey in earnest and I was definitely "in remission" re. sugar and simple carbs and just plain over eating. One thin I can do is go to the library to work - no food allowed! But also no coffee or water.... Anyway, today is another new beginning, right? Right.

04/04 - 151.6 - 10-day ave 1787; 7-day ave 1852
Yesterday was a very good day - some exercise, calories in line, macros good, low sugar, no stupid snacking....all good. So this increase is due to 3 crazy high-calorie days out of the past 6. But I feel finally that I'm really back at it - maybe I needed a blow out to find my way back.

04/05 - 151.2 - 10-day ave 1758, 7-day ave 1694
Good news for me - yesterday I had blood work to measure inflammation, which I've been fighting for the past 10 months. One measure is now in the normal range, the other just barely over. They were both VERY high last fall. I refused to take prednisone long term, despite a lot of pressure from doctors, and I attribute the improvement to regular exercise and to working toward optimum (rather than "within reference range") levels of vitamins D3, K2, B12, and magnesium. I'm relieved and more hopeful about resolving this for good in the next few months. Oh, and my pain has diminished a lot. Yay!

04/06 - 151.4 - 10-day ave 1770; 7-day ave 1719
Well, doesn't look like I'll make my half-round goal tomorrow. Sigh. I'm tempted to go back to the elimination diet - I eliminated pounds on it last summer! We'll see.

04/07 - 151.6 - 10-day ave 1979
Ate within bounds and went for an hour+ walk yesterday. All is well even if I’m not losing yet.

04/08 - 151.8 - 10-day ave 1953
Darn it. But it makes sense since my average is still too high. That's fine, what goes up must come down!

04/09 - 152.2 - 10-day ave 1957
Crap.

04/10 - 153.2 - 10-day ave 1870
Double crap. I know this is weight trailing higher calories since my calories are under better control, but I hate it. Gaaaa.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/3 161.8 First day back on track officially, thanks to my husband for leading the way. It's been an emotional 2019 but I can only control myself and only change myself, so here goes! It took me 4 months last time to lose 15 lbs, lets make this even better. I know the cycle doesn't start until tomorrow, but I am tired of postponing so here I am right now.

4/4 161.8 Have my day planned out, started with a 20 minute meditation, then walked the dogs with my child. Ate breakfast and logged it, will have a light lunch and early dinner. Yesterday was an emotional throw in the towel day but I'm back on track today.

4/5 160.8 Good day yesterday, met my goals. Today's goals Meditate 20 min, walk with my child and dogs, deliver work stuff, stay on course with my eating. Grateful that I have this resource to come back to and for the accountability.

4/6 161.4 Headachey but that's good I know I am detoxing from all the sugar and empty calories I have been indulging in. Had a good day yesterday.

4/7 160.8 Got through the migraine yesterday relatively unscathed, did not resort to food to cure it, so that was a success. Today is my oldest son's birthday, we are going to Lucille's BBQ, and I am looking forward to the celebration. It's been since January that our family has been on a self imposed hibernation. Things are beginning to look a little brighter.

4/8 hiccup

4/9 163.6 oops. Back on track after 2 day hiatus.

4/10 163.0 back in the right direction. Why does it always seem to be so hard to get back on track?? DH lost 3.8 lbs this week, which I have found :-(

This has not been my round. Between my travel and my husbands travel, my workouts have not bee happening and my food was not the best. I used being busy as an excuse not to post because I was not happy with my numbers, but only I can change that. I will try to reset over the next few days and be ready for a strong round 74.

Round 69: ↓ -1.6 lb
Round 70: ↓ -2.2 lb
Round 71: ↓ -2.6 lb
Round 72: ↓0.8 lb
Round 73: SW 184.6 lb
Total lost in challenges: ↓ 7.2 lb

Goal for the challenge: hit my water goal of 96+ oz a day.

Seem to have been getting nowhere. Have lost 8lb since the start of the year but just been going up and down the last few rounds and getting very frustrated. Seems so much harder than last time - something needs to change but I have to find out what and how. In my head I am blaming peri-menopause (everything is a bit hit and miss and irregular these days!!) but is that an excuse rather than a reason ?

From a motivation point of view, I so need to get under 150 and stay there - summer and my holiday is getting closer ...... so target for this round is 149lb a 1.6lb loss - aiming for slow and steady
I do have 10 clear days to get focused............3,2,1,go!!!!

Starting weight 150.6lb

04/02 - 150.1lb (-0.5lb) - happy with that to start the round. Didn't get to the gym as planned last night - they are moving premises weren't yet finished so had a more relaxed evening (and quite enjoyed it!) Good food day planned and feeling a bit more positive with this good start

04/03 - 148.5lb (-1.6lb) What ??? 2lb in 2 days - no idea where or how but I'll take it thank you. Wish I could explain it as would do it again Carb heavier dinner tonight (home made burgers) so may see this go up a bit tomorrow ...

04/04 - 148.6 (+0.1lb) Very happy that the big drop is staying dropped! No gym again last night as still not quite ready so did go for a (short) walk. Guess I am "in the zone" so hoping it carries on - really not sure what I have changed but going to carry on as is for now as seems to be working at the minute!

04/05 - 146.3lb (-2.3lb) Seriously ???? Over 4lb gone in 4 days having struggled for weeks and weeks. Can't go on forever so am enjoying it while I can - weight loss isn't constant but obviously all my work the last few weeks is paying off - just only showing on the scales now. All I can put it down to is that the last week I have been drinking more green tea rather than normal (english) tea and milk even though the milk was part of my daily calories - that is all that has changed. So sticking with plenty of green tea for now!

04/06 - 146.20lb (-0.1lb) - definitely wasn't expecting another big loss today! Really pleased with this as at least the loss is holding at the minute. Got in a 1hr gym session yesterday and 10k steps and feeling good at the minute. Good food day planned (including our within calories full on Sunday roast with dessert tonight!) so the scales often show a higher weight on a Monday but hoping to STS tomorrow. Target for the end of the round is adjusted to maintain this weight (although extra happy if a bit more comes off!). Happy Sunday everyone x

04/07 - 146.4lb (+0.2lb) - I will count this weekend as a success - Up 0.1lb even with Sunday roast last night, a glass of wine too and a few after dinner mints. Looking forward to this week as should be no distractions and aiming for a continued loss over the next 5 days although not going to predict anything as this round has been so bizarre! Good food day planned today although I am at work all day today rather than my usual half day on a Monday so wont get my usual Monday walk in

04/08 - 145.8lb (-0.6lb) - I am gobsmacked my weight is still dropping this round. I am feeling so much better though, bloatedness has gone and most importantly I am have been logging every single morsel that passes my lips. Not sure what I wasn't logging before so going to give the credit to the green tea I've been drinking Seeing the weight finally come off though does give me a boost and am feeling so motivated at the minute - long may it continue. 4 days left of this round yet but given up trying to set a round end target - will carry on as I am and see what happens!

04/09 - 145.1lb (-0.7lb) - I don't want this round to end! Expecting scales not to really drop tomorrow though as a carb heavy (although still within daily allowances) dinner tonight of baked potatoes and salad - yummy!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/03 - 283.4 - I completed week 1, day 2 of Zombies, Run! couch to 5K training. I was able to do some longer runs on the free form run at the end; whereas on Monday I was so exhausted I just walked at the end. I have had a busy day. Food has been good, but a little short on breakfast.
04/04 - 282.6 - Yes! Day 2 of a drop. I will do some more walking later doing another episode of Zombies, Run! I had a good breakfast. I have changed up my apples for Halos. I tried a new flavor of yogurt this morning too. It was pretty good. Nutrition class was interesting. We talked about spices and what goes best with what. Looking forward to the rest of the day.
04/05 - 280.0 - WHOOSH! Well, now that was unexpected. Today is a fasting day, just two more after today. I will do an episode of Zombies, Run! later tonight after dinner. I walked to Transitions and back, but don't want to do too much without food in my stomach to keep my blood sugar from dropping too low.
04/06 - 280.0 - Holding steady. Walked in the park using Zombies, Ru! last night. I'm going to doing day 3 of week 1 of couch to 5K of Zombies, Run! 5K training today out in the park before the storms move in. I plan to also do some cleaning on my apartment today. Some other exercises I haven't decided on yet.
04/07 - 279 - Yay! I was glad to see this number. It's my official weigh-in day today so. I walked for an hour yesterday. After the episode for Zombies, Run! ended I kept going for another 20 minutes, just enjoying the music and the New Canton radio hosts banter (it's still part of the app). I completed day 3, week 1 of Zombies, Run! couch to 5K training yesterday as well. I felt very proud about that. I got like 14,000 steps by the end of the day.
04/08 - 281.2 - A fluctuation up. I'm not too worried about it. My sleep was off last night. I think I'm retaining a bit of water as well. Today is Week 2, Day 1 of couch to 5K using Zombies, Run! trainer, and I'm looking forward to it.
04/09 - 278.0 - I'm three pounds from my next major goal. It came up fast. I was able to acquire most of the groceries I need for the next week. The week after I'll have to dip into the pantry and that's a lot of processed foods. I don't know what it's going to do to my weight and diet.
04/10 - 278.4 - A small tick upwards. Just replaced the batteries in my scale, so kinda expected. Food and exercise was on point yesterday. Today is Week 2, Day 2 of Couch to 5k looking forward to it. Due to weather going to do it in the gym instead of the park. I've had a few symptoms of psychosis the last few days due to stress but doing better now.
