    The timing of this could not be more right! I was doing really well until my mom had serious health issues. Much time in hospital with stress and take out added up. I finally was getting back on track when my rotator cuff blew while doing a plank and a very close friend passed. I have spent the last couple of months doing nothing and eating ALL the carbs. I bought the cutest Karl Lagerfeld dress on super sale for the service mid-March and I would be thrilled if all the buttons did up without playing peek-a-boo with my friends family.

    I'm not posting weight but rather progress (seeing that number will pull my head out of the zone).

    SW: way too much😟

    I did pretty good good wise this week. Horrible with activity. I am finding this shoulder issue difficult to work around...moving anything hurts. I see a lot of bands...but it is rare that my ears fall in love. Ezra Furman is featured in Netflix's Sex Education and I never imagined I would see him live. I was thrill he played close to me last night. Sadly I drank many beers and had super cheesed out nachos...but the scale still went down. Hooray. Feeding the soul is important too! Down 7...I don't care that it's water

    Yay!!!!! Restricting yourself can be dangerous...so good for you!!!

    Two Lbs a week is great! Much more than that and we can be burning muscle.

    I had a great week. I stuck to my meal plan 95%+ and did all of my workouts except one. I skipped my Sunday MTB ride, because my body asked for the day off. I slept 10.5 hours, my extracellular H20 jumped up out of range, and my HRV was high. Any one of those is a sign that I need a full recovery day.

    12/26= 214.1 Lbs. / 8 week goal= 191 Lb.s

    1/20 204.3 Lbs.
    1/27 201.9 Lbs.
    2/3 200.4 Lbs.
    2/10 Next week's goal = 198.6

    So, how did you like zumba?! I think it's a really fun way to exercise! Was an instructor at one point in time. Way more fun than running on a treadmill or something! :)

    CW: too much 😡
    GW: 20lbs down

    1/20 😱
    1/27 😀 -7
    2/3 😒 outta town no scale
    2/10 😝 -3

    Very disappointed (3 lbs in 2 weeks) as I've been really good with food and more regular with workouts. I know, I know could be gaining muscle blah. I did keto a 1.5 years ago and dropped 30lbs rather quickly. My husband and kids were at his families for the summer so I had no distraction. Then they came back...as did stress and other issues. It came back. The only thing I'm grateful for is that most my clothes look the same either way. I'm hour glass with my blobs and hips the same measurement and my waist 10" inches smaller. I have great strong muscles under an unrelenting, stubborn layer of fat. I look the same almost always (some more dimples in the fat) just bigger or smaller so gains are not as obvious as some. I know 3lbs is still 3 lbs but after a strong week 1 and two weeks between weighs, I'm a little bummed. Looking forward to another week without chocolate 😔

    I had a great week. I didn't drink and I skipped my cheat meal.

    I started a 60 day challenge at my gym. I changed my workout plan to more strength training with heavy lifting. I'll be carrying extra water weight for a few weeks, but I know I'm burning fat.

    12/26= 214.1 Lbs. / 8 week goal= 191 Lb.s

    1/20 204.3 Lbs.
    1/27 201.9 Lbs.
    2/3 200.4 Lbs.
    2/10 199.0 Lbs.
    2/17 goal is to hold 199.0 for 2 weeks
    2/24
