01/01 - 243.2
01/02 -245.0 - yoga! Day 1 done.
01/03 - 241.5 - yoga! Day 2 done. Finally starting to get some exercise in and stay away from unhealthy food. I thought the cravings would be worse right now but so far they are manageable. I find myself reaching for unhealthy snacks out of habit but catch myself. I feel like I’m in a good head space right now and have more self control.
I’m tracking calories each day and trying to stay under and being aware of how much water I’m drinking. I want to add in an extra exercise routine but don’t want to overwhelm myself doing too much right away so i think I’ll wait a few weeks. I go back to work in April from maternity leave so I’m hoping to have some good habits by then. I’m looking forward to seeing the numbers drop on the scale instead of going up!

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...

...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.

@Hilogirl2018 Those daily bounces are the reason I started tracking my average weight each round. Looking back at my spoiler I can see that my average generally went down. This also eliminates the big loss or gain from Day 10 to Day 1 of the next round. I love this group and the tips I have learned along the way.

@quiltingjaine I should start tracking my averages, too! Thanks for the idea.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 127.8
One of the things I love about being in this group is the way it requires me to track weight daily, giving me a broader sense of the ups and downs that are a natural part of weight loss. If I look at the stats from last round, it appears that I gained 2.6 pounds.
Round 99 SW 125.8 EW 127.8 (+2.6)
It was Christmas, it's okay. But. If I look at my ending weight for the previous round-Round 98- I see that it's pretty much the same as the end of 99 (127.2 vs 127.6). The truth is, I was 125.8 for only one day, and it skewed my beginning/ending stats for Round 99.

In other words, I've totally been maintaining at ~127 for weeks! During the holidays! Yay! Don't forget to look back and learn from previous rounds, guys. You may be doing better than you think!
12/30 126.6
New Year's Eve and the 1st will bring some parties, so I'm thinking this will bounce right back up again.
12/31128
01/01 TRAVEL, NO SCALE
01/02 TRAVEL, NO SCALE
01/03 130 (end of day weigh-in) Expecting to bounce up even more after all the vacation food and sitting, but back to my routine tomorrow. By the end of the week, I'll be in the 127-128 range again, I hope. What a lovely holiday season it was! No regrets.

45 yrs. 5'6''

goal: sticking to my plan every day

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 83.4 kg wasn't hungry until evening, turned out as a OMAD kind of day.

12/30 83.1 kg happy that I seem to get back on track - and the cold is slowly going away too.
Started a food journal and also created related trackers in the bullet journal.

12/31 83,7 kg water weight obviously, I was well under my calories the day before. So it's okay with me. And I went to bed very late which was contributing to the gain probably as well.
---update in the night, New Years Eve:
I got invited to a great dinner in a fancy restaurant, so I restrained myself over the day and enjoyed the great meal in the evening even more. According to the stats I am still within the daily calories limit, even including the planned alcoholic beverages that I will drink in exactly 34 minutes:-)
Not too bad for a special day. Only (small) downside is that I am right now not in ketosis anymore most probably. But it will come back quickly. And maybe the carbs from tonight aren't not so bad for my body after all. As long as it is an exception. I even got in a walk of about an hour today, after a long time without exercise because of the cold (I still have). And I think I have found (finally) a solution for my old problem how to incorporate some traditional meals (high carb) into my eating habits without getting triggered anymore. I will test that idea tomorrow with an old favourite traditional food of mine. We'll see how it goes.
Okay, outside some early birds are starting their fireworks already, time to say the good ol' year goodbye. See you on the other side!
Happy New Year everyone!!

01/01 83,4 kg The idea of incorporating some of the unhealthy carby stuff - but in tiniest amounts - into my diet, worked. I took some precautions though so that I would later not give in an potential blood sugar spike and inhale the whole thing anyway.
I first threw away the bigger part of the unhealthy sugery bun, even poured some dish soap on top so that it was safe in the bin... It worked, there was a little spike but it was manageable with a little willpower. I also cooked another favourite meal, also in a ridiculous small portion. And it worked. I am quite happy about the outcome.
That way I can still enjoy food on the occasional holiday but it doesn't send me down the spiral anymore.
Oh, and I got an 1.5 hours walk in. Sun was shining, it was not too cold but crisp air. Nice. Calories intake was okay as well.

01/02 83,2 kg the occasional walk helps with my weight loss - I should remember this;)

01/03 84,1 kg most probably water weight. Yesterday I was over calories and also had more carbs, but nothing too crazy. The body obviously realized that I am not kidding and wanted some calories back...Still I am in a deficit for the last two days.

01/04 83,5 kg back to keto and did OMAD. I educated myself also about intermittent fasting and think for me that will be the way to go, combined with keto. Hopefully it will protect my metabolic rate as much as possible in the long run. Plan for today: go for a walk first thing in the morning (no matter how short and don't mind the weather)

Not sure how this round is going to go, just hoping to stick where I am really. The round finishes when I go back to work and I'm hoping things will be easier by then. In the meantime I'm pleased there's this group because I'm still weighing daily even if I don't have time to post here, and it helps to not go completely off the rails with food.

Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:

12/29 154.6 (-0.0) Status quo, happy as I was expecting a gain, I was over on calories yesterday
12/30 153.6 (-1.0) Happy and surprised by this loss, I was within my calories but as I'm still not exercising I thought it'd be a status quo or gain, Today I'm going to try and get my 10.000 steps in by going to the mall checking out the pre-sales lol
12/31 153.6 (-0.0) gym
01/01 DNW
01/02 155.6 (+2.0)
01/03 155.8 (+0.2) Gym

01/04 154.8 (-1.0) Yoga. Happy New Year everyone, a bit late lol So the last few days have been hectic which is why I haven't posted but I still tracked weight (except NY day). I finished my holidays with a lunch and dinner yesterday. I also went sales shopping and was happy with the clothes I bought, although in some shops I'm still an XXL when in others I'm a L, I wish they'd standardize clothes sizes, it'd make buying clothes so much easier

My dad is out of hospital, I'm still taking him to follow up appointments but at least he's better. I must say that these Christmas holidays were not holidays and I'm as tired as two weeks ago. Getting back into the normal work routine sounds quite relaxing right now!

01/03- 210.6:[/b] I fell off the wagon HARD!! Gained 5lbs in the past few weeks. It's been such a rollercoaster of events this past month, so I stopped posting on the group.
Life Updates: I went on my vacation to Hawaii on 12/14 and got ENGAGED!! (motivation enough right there to lose weight) and right after I got back from my trip my dad had open heart surgery. This hit me so hard and you would think I'd be more cautious about my health, but nope. Something hit me hard and I started emotional eating instead. Stopped caring about counting calories and taking care of myself. I don't even recognize myself anymore. I don't even feel well lately. Not sure if it's family stress, the crap I'm eating, or the rush of trying to plan a wedding in less than a year, I'm just TIRED. Seeing my weight this morning is my wake-up call and I want to really try my best to at least TRY this time. Hoping for the best

Congratulations on your engagement! and sorry to hear about your father, I hope he is recovering well ! It's a roller-coaster of emotions to go through in a short time, be kind to yourself!

New round goal: stick with Yoga with Adriene 30 Day HOME practice. Today was day 1 with new videos posting daily. My legs HURT. I didn't realize I had gotten so weak with my laziness.

I need accountability so I'm posting here in hopes the fear of letting everyone down will keep me going (and remembering! I forgot day 0 so I had to do that today as well... C'mon brain, let's make yoga a daily habit!)

Yeyyyy well done on get the 30 day challenge started! Yoga is harder than it looks, no wonder your legs hurt !

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29—170.8 All holiday sweets are cleared from the house. I think I’ll begin the No Junk Food Challenge today for a week. After all the cookies, cakes, etc available 24/7 over the holidays, not only do I need to do this, but it may help with breaking that sugar addiction which will be difficult again. Hopefully, I’ll be able to stick with it most days at least. One day at a time! I’ve also committed to the 365-mile Challenge (not counting step miles) and recruited two long-time friends to share a spreadsheet to track our progress, so this should be fun, too. I did it two years ago (finished by June) and it was not only fun, but really helped keep me motivated to get outside every day weather allowed and get in a walk, bike ride, or hike.
12/30—170.2–Got in a 20 minute/5 mile exercise bike program; walked the neighborhood; was successful in the No Junk Food Challenge. I will track all my food today!
12/31—169.8—Goodbye 170s! Not going back. Hurt my back yesterday putting together a piece of furniture, but still hobbled around the neighborhood for a walk—not as long as it would have been, but at least I got our there. With all sweets out of the house, I already feel better! Goals for today: fast 16/8 or better, log all food and stay within calories, and get in a walk AND a bike session. Oh, and HIDE THE PEANUT BUTTER!
01/01–167.2—Love this!!! But I did work for it! Went for a longer walk, but the real difference was in my nutrition. Working in lots of veggies and several fruits throughout the day, even a little yogurt with fresh fruit as my dessert last night at dinner. No cheating yesterday. Success with the No Junk Food Challenge for 3 days in a row now. That always works for me if I will stick to it ruthlessly. Happy New Year!
01/02–169.0—Hiked yesterday, which almost always makes me tick up a little bit, but I also gave in to some LNS last night. Hopefully this will drop quickly again. Still a loss for the round so far though, so

01/03—167.8—Yay, headed back in the right direction. Got in a good workout early yesterday with my exercise bike, then stayed on plan for calories in the green. Have a breakfast meeting this morning at Panera—I will NOT have a cinnamon crunch bagel!!! I’ll need to repeat that mantra to myself multiple times between now and then. LOL
01/04–167.2—Did great during my breakfast with old friends—steel cut oatmeal INSTEAD of that cinnamon crunch bagel I love. Success! Also, got in an evening bike workout, so I’m happy with my day yesterday.

Followed by one that says my session has timed out! I haven’t even gotten there. SO FRUSTRATING!

Yeah. I'm noticing issues as well. I imagine MFP is seeing an influx of folks making their health a big part of their New Year's Resolutions. Servers are probably getting hammered. I'm sure they'll get it leveled out soon..

Eat at/under calorie goal each day (I’m full time breast-feeding, so that’s still a lot of calories!). Be especially watchful of evening eating. Hydrate. Move. Lose any amount.

Small NSV — I baked a cake and a batch of cookies yesterday for events today and later in the week, but didn’t nibble.
No snacks during the day. Small snack in the late evening. Feeling motivated! 🥗🥚🍠🧘🏻🚴🏻‍♀️

12/30/19 - 175
Well, here we are at the end of another year and another decade. Here’s to all of us making way toward our goals in 2020!

12/31/19 - 175.4
Yeah, I snacked last night. Sort of a last blast. I also made chicken pot pie 🥧 from scratch for dinner, DH request, and it was delicious and rich and I confess, I ate more than I should have! Woke up to snow ❄️ so when it stops I’ll get my workout clearing the driveway and sidewalks. No partying tonight but I am planning to go to a women’s labyrinth walk and gathering, which should be a lovely way to see the old decade on its way. If you’re going out, be safe, have fun! 🎉

01/01/20 - 176
Time lag bounce there, I think. I did have the chicken pot pie leftovers last night, but ate close to calorie goal.
I expect a sodium bump tomorrow — DH wants to go out for Chinese. We had planned to do that Christmas Eve but I was sick. So it will be absolutely my last blast for a while, and I’ll stick to stir fry. Happy New Year, all!

01/02/20 - 176.6
Sodium. Chinese, and not enough water. It’s fine. Better days to come!

01/03/20 - 176.4
Have a great weekend, all!

01/04/20 - 176
I’m still struggling with the snack monster, but did manage to keep last night’s snack relatively low cal. Step by step back to the path. I did get started on my plan to rebuild my walking time. I used to walk 5-7 miles almost every day and stopped last year when I was in terrible pain from PMR. I’ve been walking sporadically that past few months but lost my distance mojo. I’ve created a schedule to add a mile a day each week until I can comfortably do 6 a day and occasional longer jaunts. Walking is so much more than exercise — it’s meditative and spiritual for me. So that’s the plan! Have a great weekend, all.

Back to life! Back to reality!
Last year, my goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
This year, I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
Last year, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
This year, I have consistently lost weight since the end of July. I have put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but am still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

1/2 161.0 I took a break from this challenge while I was on vacation and through the holidays. I tracked only intermittently and did not eat as well as I normally do, so I could NOT be happier that I'm only up .7lbs after 20 days of not consciously being "good". This a HUGE NSV for me. I didn't track obsessively and still basically maintained. If it hadn't been Christmas and I hadn't made those lemon butter cookies I may have been even better

. I missed reading everyone's stories I'm catching up today! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!!!!

1/3 161.0 I'm always happy when it doesn't go up. The Mapmyfitness app has a You vs the year challenge. It's to run/walk 1020 kilometers, I missed it last year due to the stupid leg injury that derailed me for 6 weeks. I want to hit it this year. Fingers crossed for no injuries, I have 5 in as of today and hope to get in 12 or 15 in this weekend! I'm going to add it to this to help keep me accountable.

1/4 159.9 5 km I’m finally under 160 though only by a frog’s hair. Hey the good news is only 1010 km left! Hahahaha. I’m really recommitted after that break.

Okay time to get back on track.

12/29 – 272.6 Back in the right direction.

12/30 – 270.6 The first of many drops, I hope. I do know I’ll have a bounce on the first because of New Years Eve plans. Once that’s done though I have nothing going on until my husband’s birthday in February.

12/31 – 270.0 I went out for dinner and was okay until we decided to get desert. It’s okay though I didn’t plan to be back fully on track until tomorrow anyway. I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years!

01/01 – 269.4 I didn’t end up as far off track yesterday as I feared I would end up. I’m hopeful of staying on track now that all the holiday activities are over.

01/02 – 268.6 If the drops continue I should be close to my previous low soon. I was on track yesterday and I’ve been getting out and enjoying the nice weather we’re having. Nothing like hitting 12k steps on the first of the year. My goal for this year is to lose 50 pounds and if I hit that early I’ll set a new realistic goal for however long is left. I happily ended last year still under the halfway point to my ultimate goal weight.

01/03 – 266.8 While it’s not all the way back to my lowest weight I’m really happy to see this number. It’s about where I was bouncing around during the early part of my break. I know that even if I don’t drop quickly from here due to water loss it won’t be long before I’m hitting new lows.

01/04 – 265.0 So much water drop, so much wow.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29--Back in town after 5 days. We had a great time. I weighed myself when I got home late this afternoon, just to get some idea of how much of a bump up there is on the scale after my snacking and lack of water drinking, and I was only up 3.6lbs. I will weigh in tomorrow morning at my regular weigh-in time to get a more accurate number.
12/30--208.1 Only up 2.5lbs after being out of town, I am happy about that. Strength coach today. Goal for today is to get my water in.
12/31--207.8 Yesterday's workout with my strength coach was really hard, it's surprising how quickly my workouts can suffer when I haven't worked out for a such a short time. I'm back at work today after being off for a week, so the regular schedule today should make it easier for me to get my water in today.
01/01--208.1 Didn't fully get back to normal eating as my husband wanted to go out for dinner and some drinks last night. I went to see my strength coach today and it was another tough workout. I told my coach that for me this year is the year of flexibility, so that is what I will work on this year. Also, by working on my flexibility, it will also help me with my weightlifting.
01/02--207.4 Tonight is my 1st day of a 30 day yoga YouTube program I'm going to do, in order to work on my flexibility.
01/03--206.3 Finished day 1 yesterday of my yoga program, and while at times it was difficult, I felt so good afterwards. I did not have a great sleep last night, but luckily I am off today, but I do have some appointments today. I'm supposed to go to the gym today...we'll see.
01/04--205.9 No gym yesterday, I had a major headache from my horrible sleep the night before. I took a nap later in the evening and it definitely helped, so I was able to finish day 2 of YWA. Plan is to go out for a run today, once the rain stops, and I want to clean the house, that includes taking down the Christmas tree.

Thanks @grandmajackie, this challenge is great. First time joining in. I love setting short-term goals and everyone’s posts and successes are so motivating. Two days ago I hit my heaviest weight ever. I’m on my third day of eating healthy and exercising.

My 10 day goals:

- Row 7 out of 10 days
- Eat minimum 4 serv of vegies/fruit each day
- No sugar or processed food
- Intermittent Fasting 16/8 (5 out of 10 days)
- Drink, drink, drink ..... water
-1500 calories or less per day
- Don’t put things off until I lose weight - live as if I'm already there!

01/04 - 180.0 - that dastardly scale - just kidding, expected not to be solidly into the 170's for a few days more at least. I intentionally added more calories yesterday because I was feeling weak physically. I'm proud that I didn't do what the old me would do and binge because I was going over 1200 calories and instead I had 1424 calories. I had pecans and added salt (another goal to reduce since I eat way to much). Best pecans ever - shipped from a farm in Georgia who has no other nuts which is great since I'm severely allergic to peanuts. Enjoy your weekend!

Goal at end of 10 days: 179.9 - I'm not thinking any further than hitting 170's again. Once done then I can set next goal!!

Previous posts
01/03 - 179.9 - Met 10 day goal - 6 pounds lost since I joined MFP on 12/27/19. Just squeaked it out this morning and finally back into the 170's!! Even if I go back and forth for a few days into 180's again, on this day I hit it and will enjoy it this morning. My goal for the rest of this 10 day period is to be solidly in the 170's to start the next 10 day challenge! Today will be the 7th day I've done intermittent fasting. In some ways, it's just happened naturally because I find when I fast, I start being able to go without eating somewhat easier and not as focused on food. Emphasis on "somewhat" as I'm not there all the way. Never being hungry in the mornings helps. However, last night I was very hungry. My average calories over the last 7 days has been 1163 (not net) with rowing every day but one burning 300 calories. I allow 1500 calories a day so if I go over 1200 I don't get into my old games of OMG I'm over by 1 calorie, I must eat everything in sight and start over, which means I'm going to eat for days as I try to get back on it. I've finally got it through my head that even an 1800 calorie day is better than deciding I blew it because I ate 1400 calories and must eat everything in the house! Another reason IF is good for me is my cravings are horrible in the late afternoon/evening so it's helping me to regain control of that time period. I'm going to up my calories a little and start snowshoeing or walking along with rowing. Challenge coming up: Playoffs and wanting to make all kind of good stuff. I think I'll do baked wings with very little blue cheese dressing! This is going to be a very fun weekend with all the games!!

01/02 - 180.1 - 7th day sticking to it! If 17 hrs. I'm thrilled with the scale going down but also know that some of it is water weight from the holidays and know it will slow down and may even go up a little in the days to come. However, what I'm really proud of is that I've stuck with it this first week since for me (and most people I'm sure) the starting, or getting back on it, is the hardest of all. I know I'm going to do it this time! Starting to have health issues and hitting the highest weight by far that I've ever hit freaked me out big time. When I joined this message board, and it was the first time I joined one, I wasn't sure if it would help, but it's really amazing how nice and supportive everyone is and how it really does keep you accountable and motivated.

12/29 - 183.9
What I did well: Ended 16/8 intermittent fast at 10am this morning for 18 hrs fasting. This works for me because I'm not hungry in the mornings. I can go to bed hungry and wake up not hungry at all and I eat 2 meals the day my fast ends. Waterrower for 30 mins, actual calories (not net) 1197, started new fast at 3:30pm. No sugar. No processed food. 4 vegies.
What I can improve on tomorrow: Eat at least 2 serv fruit, drink more water - only 5 cups today. Add some reps with free weights.

12/30 - 182.7 Yay! Ended Fast of 18 hrs. Too early to doc how today went but I have to say I feel very optimistic. I have never joined an online group before and I can already tell the accountability factor, reading all your posts with how you're doing and seeing your progress is extremely motivating. Additional goals: be able to climb 2 flights of stairs in house without getting winded and not have my bra cut me in half - sorry to the guys on here.

Evening update: Calories 1015 (not net), rowed 30 mins, did some free weight, stopped eating at 4pm, and did NOT eat sugar, which is great considering my cravings are all-in after the holidays - but they are subsiding, thank goodness. What I need to do better tomorrow: did not meet my vegie/fruit goal unless you count white potatoes and onions in a ham casserole as vegies Got to drink more water too!

12/31 - 180.9, and because i thought something was wrong with my scale , I weighed again later and it was 181.0 so 5 pounds in 5 days, BUT readying myself if it goes up tomorrow to not get discouraged. I must have had a LOT of water weight after Christmas. I thought it would go up today because I ate bread and potatoes yesterday (but kept calories low and rowed). The bread I eat though is homemade english muffin bread. It's higher in protein because made with bread flour and whole milk - no butter, oil, or eggs and just 63 calories per oz (and so good). 1221 calories. IF 19.5 hrs. I'm going to drink a lot of water today to see if I can keep my weight from shooting up tomorrow. I will enjoy the moment though!

01/01 - 180.6. IF 18 hrs. 1138 calories. Shoveled a foot of snow off my deck - it took me forever but burned calories like crazy and so nice to just be outside. Rowed 10 mins. Today I will eat those 6 vegies/fruit I keep saying I'm going to eat LOL and drink 64oz of water! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Here's to a very healthy 2020!

Maybe I'll have a whoosh soon, but I'm not holding my breath so I don't get disappointed. At least I'm dropping and trending back downward so I cannot complain. Its been a rough week with migraines, nausea, and insomnia. But I'm pulling through and determined to get back on track!

Previous Day's Comments

12/29 - The scale behaved better this morning. It actually shifted numbers when I moved so I believe this weight. Not bad for having an early dinner out with friends and a few drinks. I did wake up extremely thirsty so I drank almost a full bottle of water before I even got out of bed so I'm sure this is a bit higher than it would be had I not done that. Honestly forgot about weighing until I finally got out of bed and went into the bathroom. Quite happy to see 154.x again despite the water chugging.
12/30 - Holding steady, I'll take it. I was so hungry so I ended up having a really early dinner and then was hungry again when I went to bed. I knew I'd get a stomach ache if I ate that close to bed and it wasn't painful hunger so I let it go. Not hungry at all this morning so I'll take that as a win. Trying to fast until 11 (our lunch) and start this week with a good 19 hour fast. Also love work weeks simply because I'm THAT much better with my water intake. I get so lazy and forgetful at home. Goal is to continue water intake on Wednesday when I'm off.
12/31 - Hello again, how I've missed you! Hoping to say goodbye to 154.x and above as I say goodbye to 2019. Came in early to work so I can leave a little early for the football game and hopefully make my spinach artichoke dip for the group after. I still have to get some groceries for it so I'm not quite sure if it'll be for tonight or tomorrow. We shall see how things go. Happy New Year all!!

Edit: Boo, I realized TOM will be here any day now to help me ring in the new year. This makes me worry I'm not going to be saying goodbye to 154.x and above after all. Going to just have to work extra hard to stay on top of things in hopes I can avoid a blip (or that any loss is greater than or equal to any TOM blips I have)
01/01 - Hello, TOM. Hello water weight. This is expected, not too upset by it. We didn't really have "dinner" and instead had a bunch of finger food (chips and dip, bacon wrapped smokies, bbq smokies). My neighbor taught me how to make his family's chip dip and I loved it! Too many super-salty chips throughout the night. In hindsight I should have made sure to eat a proper dinner before starting on the snacks so I wouldn't be so hungry. Only had 2 drinks before the small glass of champagne at midnight. Hopefully this weight will be down very quickly and I'm sure I can before the end of the round. TOM bloat should be gone no later than Sunday and the salty water weight will be gone long before that as long as I can stay on track.
01/02 - Holding still. At least I can be happy that I haven't increased! Bloated like no other (I had too much dairy, lactose sensitive) I took my lactose pills which eased the discomfort from it, but didn't seem to ease the bloat itself. Going to push water today and try to watch my evening eating. Shouldn't be too hard now that the madness of New Years is over and normalcy resumed (was planning a low key event for New Years but my landlady came over and made it into a party and we are still recovering from her. All struggling financially so we don't want to waste the leftover food). Hoping, if I don't eat any more dairy, I'll lose the bloat by tomorrow and drop some water weight with it. I'm determined to get back down!
01/03 - Little bitty drop, I'll take it. I was so hungry last night -- my stomach HURT because I felt so hungry. Not sure what that was about. I ended up really thirsty, too, and almost met my water goal in a 2 hours span. Guess my body needed a bit of a flush. Still struggling with TOM issues (bloat and general sluggishness) but hoping it'll be over by tomorrow, I hate feeling like this. It seems worse than normal, but I know its because of my not-so-great choices with food, activity, and stress levels. I know I can control how my body feels but I seem to forget in the moment how that food, water, relaxation help. Leading me into: Today is Day 2 of Yoga With Adriene 30 day HOME. Excited to see where this takes me!
