Day/Weight/Comment
02/17 - 143 - I'm happy to see this number two days in a row. I may see a bump from the weekend tomorrow, but this is a nice trend.
02/18 - 144.5 - Ouch! Not only did the weekend catch up with me, a wonderful old friend dropped her tax info. off at my office and brought me 4 dozen butterscotch chocolate chip cookies. I shared with the office, but I had several myself. The rest are now packed safely away in my freezer. Water and calorie tracking the rest of the week.
02/19 - 144 - Slowly inching down. More water and more tracking today.
02/20 - 143.5 - OK.
02/21 - 144 - I am really paying for those cookies I had on Monday.
02/22 - 143.5 - I was actually surprised my weight was down a little because my rings were really tight this morning from water retention. Catered lunch at the office today, so I'll be drinking plenty of water.
02/23 - 142 - Yay, I haven't seen this weight in months.
02/24 - 142.5 - Still happy with this weight.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/17 166.4lbs, 36.1%bf; 8h11m/92 - back at it! Had a good workout and feel so much better. Still have a kidney stone that will have to pass at some point, but I feel so much better now that I'm off all the meds.
2/18 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 7h4m/79 - didn't expect that kind of drop, but I will take it. Basically back to where I was when my kidney went up.
2/19 163.6lbs, 35.4%bf; 6h25m/80 - considering the DOMS and my usual habit of bouncing back up after a drop, this is not unexpected.
2/20 162.2lbs, 35.0%bf; 6h57m/81 - good workout yesterday, and kept my eating in line. Not sure why I am waking up in the middle of the night, tho... awake for an hour or more, then don't want to get up with the alarm.
2/21 161.8lbs, 34.9%bf; 5h42m/78 - worst sleep in a while, but worth it... had dinner with my sister and saw some live comedy.
2/22
2/23 161.2lbs, 34.7%bf; 6h49m/85 - still can't figure the sleep out, but had a good day, a good workout, and a nice night.
2/24 160.4lbs, 34.5%bf; 8h10m/87 - better, but still woke up around 4 and didn't fall asleep again until after 5. Plus, suuuper weird dreams. Don't feel rested. Got a lot going on today, so hopefully I will sack out well tonight.
2/25 160.8lbs, 34.6%bf; 7h0m/84 - dinner out with friends... totally worth the bump!

02/24 - 147.7 - I was so stinking hungry yesterday... Today I'm back at work with limited mobility (don't think its very proper to scoot around on my butt between kitchen and living room as I did at home) so limited availability for food. Plus, I only brought so much for lunch. A large portion, but still a portion. Focus on water as I brought my other water bottle which has a handle to carry with. Its rainy and icky out which was not good walking into the office with -- Crutches like to slip and slide ): But I didn't fall and all is good. Isolating myself to my office. Boss planned on being here today and I haven't heard otherwise so lots and lots of sitting for me. I will conquer this and am very happy I've only slightly increased over these last couple of days.

Previous Day's Comments02/17 - The downward trend from last round continues after resuming full meals. I'll take this slower, but healthier, downward movement very happily. I'm coming down to the last 7-8lbs and I know I have to be careful to lose fat, not muscle. Only workout I did this weekend was cleaning/packing/organizing so not much at all. Depending on how my days go, I'll try to get in the little gym here at work (though timing will be hard as maintenance works the same hours and its always crowded before/after work. Maybe an alternate lunch time to everyone else?)
02/18 - Had a late dinner as I was out running errands with my neighbor lady. Other neighbor made a pot roast and it was a little high in sodium due to the tenderizing method he used. Traveling to KCMO today for work so water will probably not be the greatest but I will do my best. Not very many options to stop to go between KCMO and home so I have to time it right. Will catch up on posts tonight or tomorrow morning!
02/19 - I chuuuuugged water last night to try to get a little closer to water goals. I didn't have much at all (maybe 25-30oz total). Today I'm back at my normal work location and I have to give blood at 10. Hopefully my iron is okay. I had steak last night but I'll have to break my fast early and have some thing here in a short bit to be sure I'm good to go. Anyway, water is going to be super important today between dehydration yesterday and giving blood today. I drank some ginger-lemon tea and added some cinnamon to help with the bloat. I'm going to try to do this more often as it really helped this morning. I FEEL a little bloated, but I don't look it so much which was a boost I needed this morning. Yesterday's lunch was really heavy on me and left me feeling and looking super bloated. Work has a new wellness challenge for the next 4 weeks that started Monday. 1 point for each accomplishment: 5 servings fruit/veg, 7+hours sleep, 20+ min exercise, 10+ min relaxation. Anybody who has 20+ points at the end of the week (submit info Monday) is entered to win a fitbit (2 people drawn per week). So I had double side salad and double fruit salad with lunch on top of the chicken. It was a lot of food for one sitting but I know the fruit and salad weren't high in cals, the chicken was (Chik-fil-a strips, no sauce) and a cookie, of course. No self control there... Then last night my steak was with a side of grilled mini sweet peppers. I'm going for 3-4 servings veg and 1-2 servings fruit if I can. Don't know how I'll manage today... Don't have too many options to bring to work and don't want to go grocery shopping when I have so much food to eat or give away before moving. Did double yoga - easy YWA one for back pain last night I consider "relaxation" and another YWA for "Yoga Belly" which was a little more intense and got my heart rate up as "exercise"
02/20 - Bouncy, bouncy. The food truck was here yesterday -- they've been broken down and unable to come out for several months. Its a local classic so getting a burger was a MUST before I leave (never had one before). Drank a TON of water yesterday. Went over my goal, just didn't drink a lot the couple hours before bed. Super thirsty this morning so more chugging away! Yesterday I didn't have coffee and instead drank my ginger lemon tea. I think I might do that today. Seems to be helping (even if its just mentally) with feeling super bloated (and boy do I today despite 3 cups of the stuff yesterday!) Hit all my Wellness Challenge goals except fruit/veg. I had a cup of juice after blood donation (100% pure and 6oz qualifies as a serving). Other than that, I fell off. Tonight, since I'll be home and not running around like crazy, I'll try to make some of my frozen veggies so they're easier access when I'm being lazy. They need to get eaten in the next 3 weeks anyway...
02/21 - So I fell yesterday. Rolled my ankle under me and fell on top of it. Its the same ankle I tore tendons and ligaments in almost 8 years ago and still have instability in it. Also the leg with the numbness from my back injury -- recipe for disaster. It just gave out, walking on an even surface in the hallway. Unfortunately I hit the wall and slid straight down instead of falling sideways. I might not have done so much damage if I was able to fall sideways. Neighbor took me to urgent care. Not likely broken, but couldn't rule out fracture. They didn't have xray on site (who has an urgent care open until 7 and sends the xray tech home at 6?!) so I have to go back for xrays today. Neighbor had an orthopedic brace and crutches so she loaned them to me when she took me to urgent care last night. Couldn't cancel my tax appt so still have to hobble into that, too. At least I know how to get up and down stairs from experience. And I'm pretty dang solid on crutches even after all these years. Food will be interesting as now cooking is kinda out of the question. At least I have leftover homemade stir fry from last night for at least one meal today.
02/22 - Apparently I like bouncing between these two numbers a lot! Neighbor (who has been playing mommy) took me out to dinner last night so I know the bump up was from that. I broke my fast early with a fairly large meal (for me) and I'm glad I did, since dinner was the next opportunity to eat. Also had my water bottle full of coffee (since it can be sealed to go in a backpack unlike my coffee mugs) was all I had until about 530... Was stuck in doc's office and no water ): Swelling has gone down, as has bruising (still there, just not as bright/puffy). Haven't really been in pain except occasional random throbbing pain that lasts a few seconds and is gone. Or if I hit it/put any kind of weight on it (if I lose balance I have put my toes down to help regain). Nothing intolerable, just uncomfortable pain. I'm thankful it happened to the leg that I have numbness in from my back because I imagine that's what has been keeping me from feeling the worst of it. I only have 800mg ibuprofen for pain/swelling (I don't need for pain, but take for swelling because I want this to be OVER). Mama taking me to run my errands today since she doesn't want me going it alone. I can, but I appreciate having the company and someone there to help with the more complicated tasks. I am super sad about missing out on yoga, though. And going on walks since this weekend is super nice for February in Kansas.
02/23 - I expected an increase due to my situation, but it still stings. I might try to do some seated exercises just to get more movement in. I'm sure there's something I can do to keep moving a little bit and help keep the weight down. Sad thing is that I barely ate yesterday! Less than normal and still gained because I sat on my butt all day. I think that will be the most frustrating part. I guess abs and arms are going to get a lot more attention these next couple of weeks until I can be more mobile. Sorry for ranting, its all really frustrating. I'm bored out of my mind, too, which isn't helping me. Focusing on water and general movement, moreso than yesterday at least. I am DETERMINED to attack today much more positively than it started out. This could've been like last time I tore everything in my ankle and it took 13 months before I could walk without crutches or a boot, just a small brace. I'm fortunate in that regard. I have a full week of work this week which will get me out of the house and moving a bit more (especially if I go to the gym at work -- plenty to do upper body to stay active). I can still drive and get around, though inconvenient, so I don't need to ruin other's days taking care of me. The pain is very minimal, if any pain at all. I have mobility of my ankle back so it will not heal in an unfavorable position. All good things I am focusing on being thankful for today. If nothing else, my mindset will get me through the slight gain and hopefully help me drop back down! At least I have not popped back up to the 150s and that is my primary goal until I can go back to normal life.

Last round was pretty successful by getting into the 170’s for the first time in 2020. My lowest weight was in October of 2019 at 176, so I hope to get close to that by Friday. This round, I have my birthday mixed in, which comes with tons of celebrations. I’m hoping not to gain too much!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/17: 182.4 (I saved all my calories for a party, but I didn’t end up going since I had a lot of stuff to do around the house. So instead, I ate those calories at home! I knew this would happen so I’m not too worried about it. I did a Zumba workout at home yesterday!)
02/18: 181.2 (I had the day off from work yesterday because of the holiday! I cleaned my house and had to get a plumber in to fix my drain in the tub. Other than that I had a normal day! I ate to plan and did my Zumba class at the gym!)
02/19: My birthday! ❤️ 181.2 (boo I maintained! I ate to plan and did a 1 hour kickboxing class at the gym. I know this is because I’m ovulating any day now. I usually gain this week as well as TOM week. Anyway, I’m so happy I get to celebrate tonight with my hubby! I’m making dinner though lol gotta make my Friday weigh in!)
02/20: 181.2 (When my weight is the same like this, I know I’m ovulating. So yes I maintain the weight while doing all the right things. Yesterday I ate well for my bday! The hubby surprised me with chocolate covered strawberries and I made one small one fit into plan. Thanks to all those who wished me a happy bday! On to the next day!)
02/21: 180.4 (I’ve gained 0.6 pounds since last Friday’s official weigh in, but there’s nothing you can do about it when you’re a woman! I had no energy when I got off work yesterday and thankfully I had food cooking in the crockpot all day. I ate to plan and made it a rest day since my body was craving it. I’ll move my workout day to Saturday to compensate. Happy Friday everyone!)
02/22: 182.6 (Yesterday, I had my best friend come over on my off Friday and we watched movies, ate popcorn and pizza and our husbands came over after for a fun game night to celebrate my birthday. It was everything I wanted to do this year! No workout of course, unless you count my hand going from the popcorn bowl to my mouth 😂 I needed a day like that. It’s been a very long time.)
02/23: 186.0 (An expected gain from all the birthday celebrations! Went out with friends to brunch and then had a party at my house for the fight last night. I planned to have this happen over the weekend, so I’m not surprised.)
02/24: 182.4 (I walked a lot yesterday while out with friends to celebrate some more. We went to a drag show and had some bottomless mimosas. Let’s just say that I went a little overboard. Before I went to bed, my tummy did not feel good and I’ll leave it at that lol. It’s crazy that I dropped all that weight. But back to the grind!)

Round 104- SW 157, EW 159 +2
02/17 – 159 I'm not letting last round get me down. I'm in this for the long haul.
02/18- 160, really? Sigh. I took the kids to the zoo all day and we walked for miles, but we did eat out and it was hard to calculate actual calories. Panera has amazing salads, but then I had a bagel.... LOL
02/19- 156 OK... I know I've been eating better the last 2 days, but that seems like a big drop. Not sure how real it is, but I'll take it.
02/20- 155 rode Frosty yesterday and ran 2 miles this morning in the the dark.
02/21-155- tried to ride frosty, but she was crazy wound. Lunged her and took her for a jog. Out for drinks. Tracking calories daily.
02/22- 157- rode at the indoor today
02/23- 159 WTF? I haven't gone off the rails. I mean I didn't track my calories yesterday, but really?! Rode a sale horse, Frosty and ran 4 miles

Round 104 SW 242.6, EW 238.2
02/17 240.4, blood sugar 127. Looking at yesterday's food diary, I have no clear idea why my weight jumped up, but the previous day it fell 2 pounds for no reason so I am going to chalk this up to scale error and keep moving forward.
02/18 238.4, 118. My scale is acting like a random number generator lately. That, or I am seriously bouncing back and forth on fluid and sodium. Two pounds is a quart of water!
02/19 236.2 pounds, blood sugar 142. I will not get too excited, the random number generator is apparently setting me up for a bad bounce here shortly. With insulin on board I simply do not lose weight this quickly, and I even ate baked spaghetti last night (hence the blood sugar number.) I did go out for a short walk during lunch yesterday (only about one mile, work is a panic right now) but that doesn't account for more than 100 calories or so. Still, I am not going to complain about seeing a lower number!
02/20 237.0, blood sugar 89. If I wasn't overly excited about the scale saying 4 pounds less in two days, I can't get upset that it now adds almost a pound. I am still down for the challenge. I just need to do the work to STAY down. This will be a long day of meetings and by the time I get off there will be snow on the ground, so probably no walking today.
02/21 237.0 bs 110. Well, the promised sow never happened but we got sleet last night and I just don't walk in that in the dark. So a no change day for weight is probably as good as I could hope for. The weekend will be dry and 50's so if I can drag my lazy bum out of bed maybe I can score a few miles before Wyfe even notices I have stopped snoring.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/17: 145.8 (0) No change from yesterday, which is a win. I was able to get in a big run, with lots of walking and stretching to keep the hip happy. Then we went to Korean Food with friends in town – no idea what we were eating with all the sauces, rice, etc. Sodium had to be off the charts. I assume it will rear its ugly little head tomorrow. 😆But it was fun to see them😎
2/18: 145.4 (-.4) Went to slow flow yoga and then walked with a friend for 3.75 miles. I was sore and tired last night – not sure why. I ate well, tried to work on protein intake and getting enough fiber but my challenge is getting fiber without wrecking my carbs. I am not winning the macro thing!😝
2/19: 145.2 (-.2) Got a run in which felt pretty good. Really pushed the protein today so I hit that macro but of course, went over on the carbs. I have a sweet tooth – either I get it from blueberries or chocolate. Either way, my carbs go up. 🤩
2/20: 145.8 (+.6) I am blaming the Democratic Debate on driving me to drink last night. That was WWF match at its finest! Anyway, today was a run day on the treadmill….I wasn’t motivated but got it done!
2/21:144.8 (-1.0) Due to schedule, did not get all my calories yesterday. Ate later than planned and it was so salty – Amy’s soups are good but too salty. My bad. Glad for a loss but this will not stand as today is the first day in a long time that I cannot workout as I am driving to Houston and back.✌
2/22:144.0 (-.8) What goes down must go up! I will pay for yesterday, tomorrow! Drove to Houston with college daughter, just to keep her company so she could prep on the way for an interview. (I swear I am not a helicopter mom – it’s a 3 hour drive and and she had a 4 hour interview and then a 3 hour drive home – and sleepless college kids – not a good combo IMHO). And the bonus – I got to hang with her which I don’t get to very often even though she goes to college 10 miles away. Anyway, didn’t get to exercise other than walking the outlet mall and the worst part, we stopped at Buc-Cees on the way home! For those of you who don’t know about Buc-Cees – it’s a massive TX-sized “minimart” with all kinds of treats, junk food, etc. I ate a bag of Snappers minis – so good and yet so bad. Then pizza for dinner.😈😈😈😈😈
2/23:143.6(-.4) Tried to stick to the plan yesterday – gym workout, eat healthy. Had 0 energy so was just lazy after the gym. Wasn’t terribly hungry either but managed to eat most of my calories. Got to hold a week old baby boy so that was awesome! Life is precious😘 Today, longer run day and hope hip flexor will not yell at me. Then mexican food with out of town friends. Will need to go easy at dinner.
2/24:144.4 (+.8) Not that surprised with this….eating out is not easy. Had to guess my calories but still ate well under….maybe salt. Yoga day…..Namaste 🙏

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

Not starting the day off to good. I got up and decide to have Special K Almond cereal with Almond chocolate milk. Well, let's say I coughed it up and kept coughing. This damn pneumonia can go to H$LL! Ugh, I can feel the liquid in the lunges and it makes it a bit hard to breathe. Taking my puffers. I went to work but came home. Going to be a good girl and just rest. Made a Lemon ginger tea and heading back to bed (sitting up not laying flat.) Hoping the rest of the day goes well.9 -

2/17 – 257.2
2/18 – 257.4
2/19 – 257.8 I honestly don’t know and it’s a little frustrating. I’m just going to stay on track and hope for the best. Though I am considering getting into a fitness routine verses the whatever, whenever I’ve been doing for a while. I’m also considering a new meal plan, if I can get my diary to work to see how the calories work out. It’s not too different from what I do now, but adds in more fruits and vegetables, the later of which is often lacking for me.
2/20 – 257.4 After arriving late last month tom has decided to arrive early this month. At least I finally know what’s been causing the stall. At least I hope that’s it. As tom progresses and goes I hope to see new lows.
2/21 – 256.2 Back in the right direction.
2/22 – 254.4 I went out to lunch with my husband yesterday but stayed well within my calories and plan. Since I was driving around a bit to get errands done, I got an activity rest day that was needed.
2/23 – 254.8 I’m not surprised to have a minor bounce after such a big drop. It’s pretty normal for me.
2/24 – 256.0 I’m hopeful this will be temporary. I took a fall last night, I’ll be okay, nothing is broken, but I am sore all over today. Because the fall was right before I was going to make dinner my husband ordered in pizza. I stayed almost within maintenance, but the pizza plus the swelling in several places bounced me up.

Dinner party tonight at friends’ house, so I’ve had a decent breakfast and will have a light lunch. I still don’t expect any progress tomorrow, but I do look forward to conversation and laughter tonight. Have a great weekend, all!
2/23 - 181
As expected. But it’s okay — I had a lovely time with great friends, and other than a small piece of really good cake, it was healthy food. Onward! I still think I can get back to my start weight for the round by Wed. 🏃🏽♀️
2/24 - 181.4
Yep. I was a bit over my calories goal yesterday, so this is not unexpected. I’ve been having a bit of intestinal distress and some other issues lately, so I’m going to cut out (as much as possible) flour and milk products and see what happens. This all went away last year when I was on a dietician-guided elimination diet. I’m also trying to increase my meditation time to counter stress.

Round Start Weight: 274.6
Round Goal Weight: 272
My goal for 2020 is to reach One-derland by end of the year. Also, build my strength and endurance while toning my muscles as I'm losing weight.
Day/Weight/Comment:
2/17: 274.6. Hit a plateau for nearly two weeks. Not much loss just grateful it's moving downwards again.
2/18: 272.4 (-2.2) After not losing for awhile it feels really good to be losing again.
2/19: 272.4 (0)
2/20: 272.4 (0)
2/21: 272.4 (0). Scale not moving again. But I'm good with this. My goal for this round was 272 only 4 oz over. Still have 5 days to lose the 4 oz. Lost so far this round
(2.2 lbs). Will adjust calorie amount and increase water intake to see if this will help with getting the weight to start going down again.
2/22: 272.4 (0)
2/23: 272.4 (0)
2/24: 272.4 (0) Still no loss. I'm happy there's no weight gain. I lowered my daily calorie intake and stayed below it. Increase water intake to almost 3 L's yesterday. Making these changes, I was hoping the scale would start showing a loss, but sadly no. I just made these changes yesterday, so there are 2 days left in this round to show a loss. If not I still lost (2.2 lbs) this round which is good.

Would be nice to finally get out of the 70's by end of this round. I'm ok if that doesn't happen. Maybe in the next round.10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/17 160.8 lbs. 1300 calories, only 5000 steps. It's pizza night with friends and I was feeling sorry for myself because my back will not just get out of it's funk and on top of that my 27 year old sewing machine was acting up and my husband and I spent all morning trying to figure it out but declared it needs a time out and I ordered a new one, so I needed a bowl of ice cream.
02/18 160.8 lbs 900 claories, 11,000 steps
02/19 161.4 lbs 1000 calories, 15,200 steps No idea for the gain, back right now, hurts to sit. Breaking down and going to the doctor today. Not happy about having more medical bills. But on the up side my new sewing machine should be here on Friday!
02/20 161.0 lbs 1350 calories, 10,000 steps. I had to take pills when I got home from the doctor with food and ice cream seemed the thing for this pity party. I was hoping to get an MRI but doctor wants to start with Physical Therapy and exercises. I have tried most everything a PT can do and for me this is just a waste of money. I was doing back exercises as my workout routine right up to two weeks ago when this all started. I am so sorry, I sound so negative, just tired of this pain and lack of being able to do what I need to do. I usually IF for 16 hours but now I have to take pills with food in the morning so that is off for a few days.
02/21 161.0lbs 1650 calories, 12,600 steps.
02/22 DNW Kids and grandbabies were here for the weekend plus meds, completely off diet.
02/23 DNW Woke up sick, vomiting, etc. I think from the steroids, spent the whole day in my room. Ugh!
02/24 157.1 lbs still ill.

02/21 199.4 yay! Told myself not to weigh for 72 hours to wash any sodium out but I felt slimmer and couldn’t resist. Nearly 3 pound loss, very happy that my focus on habits (track, exercise, journal, sleep 6+ hours) paid off.
02/22 197.2 🥳🥳🥳 Not only did I lose another 2 pounds, I passed my first goal weight!!! I know this dip won’t stay—yesterday my stomach hurt so I didn’t eat a lot. I’m sure I’ll go up tomorrow (more likely Monday because I won’t weigh in tomorrow if we overnight at the boat). But yesterday I hadn’t really processed that I had crossed the 200 mark...and today it was a big pause for me to realize I need a new goal!
02/23 196.8 Can’t believe I’m still losing, but I’ll take it!
02/24 196.4 I love the trend but I’m not fully believing in it. Waiting for the pop back up. I mean I had a cheeseburger yesterday! But I ate in my calories still. I think my body definitely likes the higher calorie target + it’s just about that TOM. I often lose just before so this particular loss is probably due to that.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/17 - 368.4 - A minor bounce back after a significant drop. Not a problem! Still on the downward trajectory. And a second day on the eliptical for 45 minutes. MFP says 1124 calories burned. I suspect it is only about a 1/3 of that... although still a decent aerobic workout.
02/18 - 368.2 - right direction again. Didn't make it to the gym yet since interview is early this afternoon. Slightly nervous/stressed.
02/19 - 366.6 - Got to the gym this morning. Feel pretty energized. Interview went well yesterday, but still applying to others. DTA (don't trust anyone). Never count on any promises. #cynical
02/20 - 369.6 - Not concerned about the uptick. Didn't go to the gym this morning, but out for a short walk. Trying to get a focus on kettlebell and weights.
02/21 - 370.2 - Not sure why the uptick again. Each time I checked the scale, it said I was gaining. But I hadn't had anything except for one cup of coffee. Weird
02/22 - 369.8 - Finally back in the right direction.
02/23 - 368.6 - And away we go... again. Found a tasty way to drink the apple cider vinegar, with added ingredients. Not nearly as bitter.
02/24 - 368.2 - A drop w/out going to the gym... yet. Heading over after lunch. I seem to always have trouble on Sunday nite, into Monday morning.

02/21 …..195.1 …..
02/22 …..195.0 …..
02/23 …..194.7 ….. Finally I am below my starting weight. Keeping the calories under 1400 (for now) and the carbs under 50 (for now) seems to be doing the trick. I did have a small glucose episode yesterday afternoon but I had plenty of carbs left to consume so I had a quick ½ cup of full fat cottage cheese. While not as fast acting, the episode was in slo-mo so I gave it a try. It did the trick. The sugar drops are becoming fewer and less severe. The morning numbers are still a bit too high, but I think they will continue to come down, especially as the extra weight gain sheds again. Yesterday’s stats: 1056 Calories In (I fell asleep early) / 2205 Calories Out. 29 Net Carbs. 8055 Total Steps & 3.41 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept a whopping 7 hours & 10 minutes with a 1 hour 32 minute break in the middle. I awoke after about 4.5 hours but it was the middle of the night. It took me about 1.5 hours to get back to sleep but I forced myself. I feel Wonderful Today! A good amount of sleep is NOT overrated.
02/24 …..195.5 ….. Strictly a sodium and water retention gain. I did not get to try to pork rind nachos last night. Instead, I had an emergency and ended up making dinner for my maintenance man (or he would have missed dinner.). I was at the high end of my current carb goal but did well overall. However, sodium………..
Well, we know what happens when we eat it. Yesterday’s stats: 1263 Calories In / 2530 Calories Out. 49 Net Carbs. 12,126 Total Steps & 4.28 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 39 minutes and felt very tired. I rigorously cleaned tourist cabins for 42 minutes burning 201 Extra Calories. I enjoyed a movie night last night which did not include any food or snacks. Just a cup of tea with stevia.

So I got escorted out of work by my boss... apparently he contacted HR and they require a work-specific doctor's note be filled out and submitted prior to my return (which they kindly provided me). This is unpaid leave since I have not accrued enough sick time for this year yet. I'm not at all happy... I get the whole liability thing but I work in an office and I was avoiding going into the plant itself, just staying in my office. Guess this is opportunity for me to pack as much as I can, especially since I'm at home and can butt-scoot around my house as much as needed to get things done without seeming improper. At least my tax return looks decent enough to help cover bills but I'm still stressed about unpaid leave with the move and all... I know BF will help as much as possible, but I hate putting any extra money stress on him ): UGH. I just needed to rant.
At least I was smart enough to pack my work computer so I can work from home and at least put in SOME hours to help ease this burden.10
