Total loss for February -

Got a few more weeks to turn this thing around, even though my basic goal of getting into normal BMI by the end of the challenge now seem remote. On the plus side I've ran twice and done yoga once this past week which is more exercise (beyond walking) I've done in a week in a very long time. Just overcompensated on the eating....🙄

12 week challenge MFP


Happy New Year Challengers! I am back from a great trip to South America where I did not count calories but did stay very active. I actually hiked 13 miles up and down a steep trail. I think my weight loss from the last challenge helped my with my confidence!

Goals for this challenge: Keep logging, daily exercise, expand my palate into more veggies and add back strength training to gain muscle. I really focused on cardio and just learning how to log and now I want to focus on strength and macros. Looking forward to all of our successes here!

12/23/19 – Vacation🌴

12/30/19 – Vacation🌴

1/6/20 - 150.2👈

1/13/20 -149.8 – ran 6 miles yesterday which made me hungry so I ate a pancake, boom. Win some, eat some. Now back to reality and need to lose the vacation mentality when it comes to drinking. 😆

1/20/20 – 148.2 – Looking forward to sticking to my routine this week, exercising, logging and a little yoga.😘

1/27/20 – 149.0 -- Got off track this week with food – did great on workouts. Also having some digestive issues so I need to focus on my food choices and drink more water. Time for a restart and good week.🙄

2/3/20 -146.6 – A lot of yoyoing of weight this week. I'm logging, measuring (except yesterday at a Superbowl party) and sticking to my workout plans. Struggling a bit with macros and digestive issues but working on that this week.🤔

2/10/20 – 146.4 – This was a weird week. Dealing with a hip flexor or related injury and so workouts are not 100%. Trying to eat/drink under calories, including alcohol (weekends only). Really need to eat to my macros and stick to home cooked meals to control ingredients. Protein, fiber, water, repeat.😎

2/17/20 – 145.8 – Slowly working off my vacation weight from the holidays and have a couple of weeks with no trips, parties etc so I need to buckle down and focus on choices, macros, and getting my hip back to 100%. Warm weather and bathing suits are just around the corner.👙🌞

2/24/20 – 144.4 – Lots of up and downs this week, kinda like the stock market! Happy to have a loss. Really working on the macros thing but have had to be social and eat out and I really struggle with guessing the right logging of food. And my hip flexor is still causing problems so need to settle down and stick with the plan. Cheers y’all!🤘

Weigh In Schedule:
12/23: 190.2 Today is baking and fudge day as I prep fresh for the Holidays. No taste-testing for me! Today will be a low carb/low cal day. I’m banking it up for the holiday dinner & festivities. Good luck everyone during the challenge!
12/30: 190.4 And there are the calories I banked up, showing up on the scale as predicted. It was actually worse this week but I had a major whoosh along the way. I’m going for a good week and a better report on Jan 6th weigh-in.
01/06: 191.8 Notsomuch!
01/13: 195.4 Horrid. Really fighting sugar drops & frenzied eating to bring glucose back up.
01/20: 189.7 Working hard on regulating my blood glucose levels. I’ve been having some pretty bad episodes because I let the Holidays get the best of me and now my body is out of whack. I know what to do and am slowing doing it to re-adjust. A nice slow drop this week is helping.
01/27: 190.0 Still fighting the glucose drops. Some are pretty bad. Shoveling in the food during them to quickly bring levels back up keeps putting me two steps back. I’m working on solutions.
02/03: 192.6 After Superbowl party weight. I stayed away from the starchy snacks but there was the lasagna dinner……
02/10: 193.1 Trying low cal instead of low carb. It’s not working for me because it makes me feel like I have free reign. Gotta rethink this whole thing!
02/17: 194.8 Embarrassed for myself.
02/24: 195.5 It was higher but I’ve been inching it down. Slow but sure. I think I’ve tweaked the plan to help my glucose as follows: Under 50 carbs, Under 1400 calories. We’ll see what difference its made by next week.

1/6/20 - 58.9 kg (Yay! As promised, I was a good girl all week!)
1/13/20 - 58.5 kg (Not the biggest drop of all time, but I will take it. Was under calorie limit and worked out well, so I am proud of myself anyway)

3/2/20 – 143.0 – I am very happy with this, even though it’s a pound up from yesterday. I have been struggling with the hip and also have had a lot of social stuff and house guests so I am noticing that I am trying to plan ahead and build in calories for fun! I run to eat and drink lol! A slower week and weekend ahead to focus on healing and eating well.🌻
