9/2 Completed 30 minutes of working out, 1,815 calories
9/3 Didn’t make time to work out, but the alarm is set for tomorrow. And went over calorie budget at 2,285. Ate too much bread at breakfast cause there were a lot of delicious options 😬
9/4 Worked out before going to work, didn’t challenge myself a whole lot but was active and did a work out. Stayed under calories at 1,648🎉
9/5 Didn't work out today, but did some extra walking. But also drank a coke just cause it sounded nice even though I know it’s bad for me 🤦🏻♀️ Went over calories a bit at 1,835.4 -

Missed weight-ins last couple days, was at BFs Weds morning and yesterday I actually got my butt out of bed for a 5:30am cycle class. I'm not usually the morning workout class person, but I could see my schedule heading against my workouts for the next couple days so I went for it. It was great but threw off my morning routine with water, food, & using the bathroom so I didn't feel like seeing the weight of my full colon in there smile:
Today is Ab Routine day and meals are pre-tracked, stayed within calorie targets last couple days even a pint of Halo Top last night for a treat!4 -
SW:145
GW September: 140
GW End Nov: 130
Goal #1: Lose 5 lb per month for next 3 month, to return to my "normal" weight of 130 lbs. We are going on a "mystery" holiday for my 50th birthday (I don't know where but assume a bathing suit will be involved) and I want to be back to 130 for this occasion.
This is the weight I had maintained from age 20 to age 46... I gained 15 lbs when I started living with my husband (then boyfriend).. he thinks I look great with larger boobs but I just feel fat now ;-(
Goal #2: Finish Zwift Academy in Sept (if any of you are Zwifters.. you know what I mean!). I have 3 workouts and two group rides left.
Goal #3: 1/2 plate vegetables every dinner, and fruit for dessert (even if there is a cookie or two involved, the fruit must be there!)
9/1 - 144.4
9/2 - 143.5 but ate dinner late (parents visiting) and had red wine which always messes with my system so I know tomorrow will start heavy.
9/3 - 144.9 and it did!
9/4 - Did not weigh in today, gave myself another day to recover from family visit and associated bloated feeling. I doubt I lost anything over these last few days, but hope to maintain my small step in the right direction. Drinking lots of water to balance out my sodium which I am sure is sky high and causing the bloat.
9/5 - 144.4 - whew - back to day one - now onwards.. Will do my 7th Zwift Academy workout today at lunch (This is an online cycling platform, using my race bike on a trainer - it is a 1 hour ride that will burn about 500 Kcal)
9/6 - 144.8 - oh well.. tomorrow is another day4 -

Goal #3: Keep net carbs under 20g/day.
9/1 - 13 g of carbs.
9/2 - Got off the couch and lifted weights while watching TV with the family, because I had set a goal of weight lifting 3x a week! I probably wouldn't have done it without this group! 13 g of carbs.
9/3 - First run of the week and kept carbs down to 12 g!
9/4 - Second weight lifting session of the week! Carbs were only 16 g.
9/5 - Crept up to 24 g of net carbs, but I still had a weight loss the next day. My husband made tuna casserole for everyone, and a special one for me with cauliflower rice, but the sauce was still thickened with flour.
9/6 - Carbs were 32 g and I gained a pound the next day! But I finished the tuna casserole leftovers, so I should be back on track! Also finished my 3rd and final weightlifting of the week.
Weekend plans include a long run and menu planning for next week. I want to go on a family hike, but two of my kids are in cross country season and they are very reluctant to hike on their weekend rest days!3 -

GW: between 70 and 71
Goal #1: Enjoy almost 3 weeks of holiday (woooohooo !!) and still stay on track
Goal #2: Get as active as I can during this period, diving and walking
Goal #3: Keep on logging my diary and check in here weekly to stay accountable, even though I'm on holiday and I won't be able to do a weigh-in
I’ve edited my starting weight which is 72.5
Monday morning I woke up sore and tired, my weight was up and after biking to an from work, I recognised a clear case of inflammation. So I decided to have an easy week to give my body some rest.
Therefor only one day of bike to work, 2 dives and keeping up the push-up challenge. Nowhere near 10K steps a day and that’s ok for now.
Weight today: 72.2

I walked in the rain and had a long soak afterwards. 714 calories deficit even with my 1 glass of alcohol! Yay! Also did a cheat weigh today and dropped another .2 of a kg so now 72.6!
