Nov 10 161.0- days off are tough to stay under calories. Especially with the drinking!
Nov 12 159.4 - I made it through the weekend without gaining! Anyone else IF? I've been doing it about 6 months and have noticed that it helps with my eating, even more than counting calories. If I track all my food all the time, I tend to start obsessing and with IF I just eat 2 healthy meals and don't worry about it.

I started skipping breakfast consistently during the work week - it has helped me quite a bit. I've been allowing myself to eat between 12:00 and 8:00. I do still log my meals, but it keeps me from feeling like I have to be so careful in the evenings. I can enjoy sitting down to dinner with my BF and not think about it.5 -

I do this too, started skipping breakfast when I realized I was just as hungry at lunch with or without breakfast!

Height: 176cm (5'9")
Weight: 66kg (145,51lbs) (Stable since 2months)
BMI: 21,3
Goals:
1) Start losing very slowly again: down 0.5-1kg by the end of the month would already be good
2) Track better: been having a couple of days without any tracking and feel myself slipping
3) I'm going to start using the "last-7 days" average my app gives me to track weight; so I see less of misleading fluctuations
4 November: 66kg (145,51lbs) (7day average)
11 November: 66,4kg (146,39lbs) - 7day average
I'm not doing good... Tracking is off, often entire days without tracking or days where I sort of shrug and go "eh" by the evening. Thankfully I'm continuing a lot with exercising so I think that keeps it a bit balanced. I'm not going to achieve my #1 goal like this though... Also been slacking severely with IF and I can tell my old "hangry" attitude and sugar cravings are coming back. Also wayyy too many days this month I've caved for a glass of wine. After the upcoming weekend, I think I'll implement a little 4-week detox.

Exactly! I actually tend to eat less when i IF. When I log all my food, I tend to eat just because I have the "extra" calories left lol. IF keeps me eating mindfully without feeling like I have to deprive myself. I cook dinner for my BF and my 7 year old son and I can enjoy with them and not worry about it! And I have a casein protein shake after dinner right around 7:30pm as my "snack" It's sweet and the protein help keep me full.3 -

I'm going to add in one thing to force myself to measure at the end of the month......
Bust: 38 - Aug (-1")
Band: 33 - Aug (-1")
Waist: 28.5 - Aug (-.5")
Hips 38.5- No change in Aug
No change in measurements in Sept - At least I was consistent with weight/measurements! LOL!
Goal #1: Workout 5 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk - stay consistent with Push Up Challenge
Goal #2: Build Upper Body Strength - 90 Second Planks - Forearm & Extended Do 25 real push ups in a rep
Goal #3: Drop .5" off waist
Goal #4: Stay under on intake min of 5 days a week
Goal #5: Do some decent crockpot meals
10/31 - 142.6 - IF, bit over on calories...insanely busy day - no workout but decent amount of walking
11/1 - 143.8 - LOL - I'm still ok with this. The 142 was a new low for me so hopefully it's a good start to the month. IF - I did put together a chicken/chili crockpot dish this morning - we'll see how it goes
11/4 - 146.8 - bit surprised at this. I worked outdoors all day Sat and busted my butt... One of those days you just fall into bed exhausted. Sunday I did take it a bit easier. Back to logging everything today. Got in a good walk at lunch - my should is still not 100%... trying to do decent on food and just maintain. Went over about 300 cals today - when your 96 yo Gram wants you to take her to dinner, you take her to dinner and have nachos & irish beer with her.
11/5 - 146.2 - Snuck in a great walk at lunch today and managed not to go over too badly. Kid's basketball game right after work made much more impossible. Still stuck to IF.
11/6 - 145.8 - rainy day made my lunch walk impossible....but insanely busy evening doctoring a colt & all the horse stuff alone so 2 hours of just stuff outdoors. IF - and stayed under on cals, but terrible nutritionally. Nachos & beer for dinner.
11/7 - 144.4 - IF, got in a good walk at lunch... Rode my colt for an hour & cleaned 6 stalls- love days like this! Made fajitas for dinner & managed not to go too crazy. I think once my body adjusts, IF will help me store up calories for the evenings.
11/8 - 145.6 - Good walk at lunch and worked at the barn for a couple of hours in the evening. I have no idea how many calories it burns - but cleaning stalls is WORK.
11/11 - 144.4 - HOW do ya'll get ANYTHING done with kid's sports? BF's 10 yo son had a basketball tournament on Sat- played 4 games, BF competed in a small local team roping (at least I got to ride my colt for a couple of hours) and back to sit on my butt for another basketball game. Cleaned 11 stalls so that's something. Sunday I worked outdoors all afternoon - felt like I scurried all over the place and still way behind. Got in a good walk at lunch and back to working on the pushup challenge - my shoulder is finally recovered enough. So discouraging how much ground I've lost in the last 3 weeks - DAMMIT! 10,12,10,10,8
11/12 - 144.6 Stayed under on cals yesterday. No workout - errands at lunch & dinner right after work with my Gram. So sore from starting back on push up challenge...OUCH! Did manage to stay on track with cals today.
11/13 - 145.2 - 30 min walk at lunch, Push Up Challenge 12,14,10,10,10 - still pretty sore & my form wasn't great. Going to work on getting my form back before increasing the # for a bit. Did IF & kept cals at 1250.

Man! What a week. I am delighted, because I weigh 65-something kilos. And that is my upper maintenance (range) limit !
Kept the other goals in mind all week :
- I got several pieces of clothing out of hiding and wore them. I was truly happy about wearing them and them fitting slightly better than last time
- My calories are now going to be higher than 1800 :-)
- I am much more in tune with how I feel in my body vs. feeling good/bad depending on how « light » I feel. This is a lifelong practice anyways but it is even harder to focus on that when I know I am very close to a major milestone
- Walking has stayed the same - I am planning on visiting a new site this weekend though
All in all, I am so very happy with my progress on and off the scale. And also very content to be able to share it here and read about your journies.
It puts things in perpective and there is no pressure, I feel totally free to express my feelings. This is something I can’t do in real life though. People (in my circle) just don’t get it.
So right now, I feel really happy.
Have a lovely day/night/time on your journey!7 -

Nov 6: 139.2 - Been "sneaking" food and shoving my face alone in dark corners because I'm convinced that if no one else sees it then it doesn't matter and I can get away with it........ I need a food babysitter at all times. Also, did you know that Oreo thins have a latte flavored creme kind? Me and the half empty container know now too LOL! Hope you all are doing better than I am!
Nov 7: 138.4 - Focused yesterday on moving more and not snacking and stuck to it!
Nov 8: 138.4
Nov 11: 138.2
Nov 12: 138.8 - If I would just snack like a "normal" human being that would be great, but I go big and stay home LOL - Did great all day and then ate way too much dinner, ate way too much chips and salsa, also had some ice cream and an ice cream sandwich. Delicious, yes.... but I definitely didn't need all of it. Going to focus solely on limiting snacking today.
Nov 13: 137.6 - Actually completed the day under my calorie goal yesterday. I logged all of my food and didn't snack at all. I reached my normal snacking time last night and wasn't really hungry so I skipped it and went to bed early with the hubby. Feeling good this morning and even happier seeing the dip in the scales.
Nov 15: 136 - Finally doing what I need to do and seeing the scale move is sure motivational. Just over the last 3 days I have taken control of my 'all or nothing snacking' problem. I am learning moderation and only eating what my calories will allow. 3 days down and the rest of my life to go!!!5 -

Ok, last week was a bit special: a few days feeling off and that was a good excuse to turn into a couch potato; then a trip for work that took me almost a full 20 hours: a few days of personal time off and then some sugary foods that literary got shoved into our house (2 cookie sales for charities). Needless to say that it wasn't a good week foodwise.
However, I kept on logging and was actually surprised that I was relatively on goal. Even when I eat whatever I want, I rarely go over 2.000/day.
That being said, I still need to get back on track and the good news is that hubby seems to have found his mojo; so for him today is day 1 of eating better and moving more. I sincerely hope he'll hang on this time, as this will also help me.
As for my goals:
1. I keep on logging every day - yay me!
2. I did the test, but then I failed miserably again
3. 2 long walks and 2 dives; 80.700 steps thanks to the beautiful fall hikes
Current weight: 70.7
Monday morning update: I did well with food this past week, as hubby is finally joining in ! Pfew ! However, we could only fit in 2 medium walks and only 1 dive as we were also putting wallpaper in the bedrooms, which is a strenuous exercise in itself!
Goals update:
1. I keep on logging, this comes really naturally to me now.
2. Ahhhh, the pushup challenge. I have put reminders in my agenda to commit myself again !
3. 2 medium walks and 1 dive: 61.000 steps
Current weight: 70.3kg - which apparently is my maintenance weight as I keep returning to it. I'll be happy if I can keep this for a year or so. We'll see how it goes.4 -

Hi all,
after some silence here a little update. With TOM around I just couldn't be bothered to spend too much time online. Still tracked, and managed to keep myself in check. But it was still a meh sort of time. Despite TOM's weighty hickup, I seem to be booking okayish progress. Not as fast as I would want it to, but at least steady and it doesn't necessarily feel like I am giving up on much.
Also yesterday, I did a 15 km race (running) and managed to bite off 2 minutes from last year's time SOOO good! Not that I trained excessively but I think the 2 kg less on my hips this year, did help a bit. Let's keep this going. The coming weeks it should also easier to keep up progressing. My boyfriend suggested to do a few weeks without alcohol. Not that we drank a lot to begin with, but Christmas will be heavy I expect.
We'll see. For now, I will enjoy my sore muscles for a bit more.
Keep it up ladies, you are all seeming to do really well!4 -

I need a food babysitter at all times. Also, did you know that Oreo thins have a latte flavored creme kind? Me and the half empty container know now too LOL! Hope you all are doing better than I am!
Nov 7: 138.4 - Focused yesterday on moving more and not snacking and stuck to it!
Nov 8: 138.4
Nov 11: 138.2
Nov 12: 138.8 - If I would just snack like a "normal" human being that would be great, but I go big and stay home LOL - Did great all day and then ate way too much dinner, ate way too much chips and salsa, also had some ice cream and an ice cream sandwich. Delicious, yes.... but I definitely didn't need all of it. Going to focus solely on limiting snacking today.
Nov 13: 137.6 - Actually completed the day under my calorie goal yesterday. I logged all of my food and didn't snack at all. I reached my normal snacking time last night and wasn't really hungry so I skipped it and went to bed early with the hubby. Feeling good this morning and even happier seeing the dip in the scales.
Nov 15: 136 - Finally doing what I need to do and seeing the scale move is sure motivational. Just over the last 3 days I have taken control of my 'all or nothing snacking' problem. I am learning moderation and only eating what my calories will allow. 3 days down and the rest of my life to go!!!
Nov 18: 137.6 - Fun weekend with family Back to killing it this week!4 -

I'm going to add in one thing to force myself to measure at the end of the month......
Bust: 38 - Aug (-1")
Band: 33 - Aug (-1")
Waist: 28.5 - Aug (-.5")
Hips 38.5- No change in Aug
No change in measurements in Sept - At least I was consistent with weight/measurements! LOL!
Goal #1: Workout 5 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk - stay consistent with Push Up Challenge
Goal #2: Build Upper Body Strength - 90 Second Planks - Forearm & Extended Do 25 real push ups in a rep
Goal #3: Drop .5" off waist
Goal #4: Stay under on intake min of 5 days a week
Goal #5: Do some decent crockpot meals
10/31 - 142.6 - IF, bit over on calories...insanely busy day - no workout but decent amount of walking
11/1 - 143.8 - LOL - I'm still ok with this. The 142 was a new low for me so hopefully it's a good start to the month. IF - I did put together a chicken/chili crockpot dish this morning - we'll see how it goes
11/4 - 146.8 - bit surprised at this. I worked outdoors all day Sat and busted my butt... One of those days you just fall into bed exhausted. Sunday I did take it a bit easier. Back to logging everything today. Got in a good walk at lunch - my should is still not 100%... trying to do decent on food and just maintain. Went over about 300 cals today - when your 96 yo Gram wants you to take her to dinner, you take her to dinner and have nachos & irish beer with her.
11/5 - 146.2 - Snuck in a great walk at lunch today and managed not to go over too badly. Kid's basketball game right after work made much more impossible. Still stuck to IF.
11/6 - 145.8 - rainy day made my lunch walk impossible....but insanely busy evening doctoring a colt & all the horse stuff alone so 2 hours of just stuff outdoors. IF - and stayed under on cals, but terrible nutritionally. Nachos & beer for dinner.
11/7 - 144.4 - IF, got in a good walk at lunch... Rode my colt for an hour & cleaned 6 stalls- love days like this! Made fajitas for dinner & managed not to go too crazy. I think once my body adjusts, IF will help me store up calories for the evenings.
11/8 - 145.6 - Good walk at lunch and worked at the barn for a couple of hours in the evening. I have no idea how many calories it burns - but cleaning stalls is WORK.
11/11 - 144.4 - HOW do ya'll get ANYTHING done with kid's sports? BF's 10 yo son had a basketball tournament on Sat- played 4 games, BF competed in a small local team roping (at least I got to ride my colt for a couple of hours) and back to sit on my butt for another basketball game. Cleaned 11 stalls so that's something. Sunday I worked outdoors all afternoon - felt like I scurried all over the place and still way behind. Got in a good walk at lunch and back to working on the pushup challenge - my shoulder is finally recovered enough. So discouraging how much ground I've lost in the last 3 weeks - DAMMIT! 10,12,10,10,8
11/12 - 144.6 Stayed under on cals yesterday. No workout - errands at lunch & dinner right after work with my Gram. So sore from starting back on push up challenge...OUCH! Did manage to stay on track with cals today.
11/13 - 145.2 - 30 min walk at lunch, Push Up Challenge 12,14,10,10,10 - still pretty sore & my form wasn't great. Going to work on getting my form back before increasing the # for a bit. Did IF & kept cals at 1250.
11/14 - 145.2 - Positives for the day, squeaked under on cals. & managed 3 chin-ups on our 'ghetto' bar at work on a dare. Errands at lunch and kids basketball all evening = no real exercise. AND someone brought amazing homemade pumpkin bread to work - so I inhaled 2 slices. ARGH!
11/15 - 145.2 - dang, it's been consistent lately. LOL Push Up Challenge - 12,13,14,10 & 30 min walk at lunch. Pushups were HARD today.
11/18 - 145.4 - Kinda ate 'whatever' this wknd, but stuck to 2 meals a day and I WORKED my butt off Saturday. Hauled multiple loads of wet sand out of 5 stalls - I'm still a bit body sore today. Yesterday was easier, just lots of walking & my normal stuff.4 -
I'm starting this today! Wish me luck

Height: 176cm (5'9")
SW this month: 66kg (145,51lbs) (Stable since 2months)
BMI: 21,3
Goals:
1) Start losing very slowly again: down 0.5-1kg by the end of the month would already be good
2) Track better: been having a couple of days without any tracking and feel myself slipping
3) I'm going to start using the "last-7 days" average my app gives me to track weight; so I see less of misleading fluctuations
4 November: 66kg (145,51lbs) (7day average)
11 November: 66,4kg (146,39lbs) - 7day average
19 November: 66,8kg (147,27lbs) - 7day average
I screamed this morning on the scale (sorry neighbours!). Hit me with a 67,3kg... I guess all the chomping I've been doing has caught up on me. I can't seem to get into my regular vibe anymore. And to top it off: despite my most rigorous efforts to prevent it this time: my shin splints are making a comeback So no more running either! 🙁Eugh, just kill me already
I did have a great weekend and with the last planned birthday activities over and done and started a 4 week no-alcohol detox; maybe that will help a bit too. I do have a "once a week you can sin"- thing. I don't need the alcohol itself but I have a very busy social life and everything revolves around "drinks"! I'm going to great lengths to try and weasel my way out of alcohol-consuming activities; this weekend I have a new date and I've suggested going for Afternoon Tea, English style, scones and jam included. God I just hope he thinks it's charming and quirky and not utterly boring.
Anyway, onwards and downwards, right ladies?

I took 7 feral kittens home to be barn cats a few months back, today - it's vet day for everyone to be fixed. I feel today should definitely go better as far as exercise - I've already got 3000 steps in from literally herding cats this morning.6 -

Shin splints are MISERABLE!!! Glad you're back! It's been a struggle lately, but I think the important thing is not to quit. I think an afternoon tea date sounds like fun - far more original than meeting for drinks.3
