Goals for this round:
- Reach my goal weight
3/3 - 125.4 - 1769 calories - Rough night with multiple wake ups from the kids, so I was really dragging this morning. Seeing the low weight on the scale was a nice pick-me-up! (Coffee helped too 😂) Got a 45 minute workout in on Ring Fit this morning and will do a 2 mile walk with the dog tonight.
3/4 - 125.8 - 2162 calories - Tough day yesterday. I was tired and not feeling well from lack of sleep; the kids were fussy and since it was cold and grey the only activity we did was making chocolate chip cookies... with predictable results. I didn’t completely binge, but I ate more of them than I should have. Today is a new day, and one maintenance day will not stop me. I just have to make sure it is just ONE this round.
3/5 - 125.6 - 1701 calories - Much better day yesterday! Stuck hard to my calories and even played some Beat Saber so my deficit was a little higher than usual. We ordered takeout for dinner, and while I was careful to be reasonable with calories I’m sure the sodium was still sky-high. It might hit the scale in the next day or two.

29 yo female
5’2” Small frame according to my wrist circumference
SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8-> 116 -> 115.6 -> 117.6 -> 115.8 ->118.2-> 117.4 ->116.6 -> 116.8 ->115.6 -> 116.6
Goal weight for this round: Maintain in the 115-117ish range.
03/03 116.6 Yesterday was a good day food wise, I just didn’t have time to post yesterday. Maintaining has been working well for me and allows me to have a splurge on the weekends while and eating with a manageable deficit during the week. Some days the deficit is more than others and I don’t stress if I eat at maintenance during the week.
This challenge will be interesting because it is during the time I hit my lowest weight for the month. It was great to see 114ish last week and maybe I’ll see it this round too?
I got some yoga in this morning for about 20ish minutes and plan on using the spin bike later today.
03/04 116.0 Busy day but wanted to at least post this. Got some yoga and a walk in.
03/05 115.4 Another super busy day with work. Food has been good so far. Planning to go out to eat tonight and enjoy a couple of beverages.

@beagletracks I can’t encourage you more to go the teacher route! I’ve been in education since 1981, and while it’s a LOT of work, it is SO rewarding!!! The relationships I’ve built with kids over the years make me happy every.single.day! I have always felt teaching was a calling for me. If you LOVE kids, then the rest will fall into place. I’m secondary science, but I think your post said you want to teach secondary English. Go for it!!7

Last round ended lower than I started but my average stayed the same which isn't ideal. Going to treat March like its January!
OSW 88kg
RSW 62.4kg {2.6kg loss this year }
Average last round 62.9 kg
03/03 - 62.3 kg. A public holiday here so gym a bit later and a day sewing.
03/04 - 62.9 kg. Hoping just a blip. Gym done.
03/05 - 62.6 kg. Gym done and aerobics later today.
03/06 - 62.0 kg no gym today just a little gentle shopping and meeting a friend for a socially distanced coffee

GW- 178lb
03/03 - 219lb No loss but stuck to my calorie goal yesterday despite succumbing to staff table treats. Didn’t eat an obscene amount, but need to stay away in future! Planning a first run post-Covid today which should be ‘interesting’
03/04 -218.2lb. That’s 5 pounds gone in 10 days. Real NSV last night, had a majorly stressful day at work which would usually have me reaching for the wine and rubbish food. Instead as soon as I got in I went for a run and made myself a healthy meal. Feel much better for it this morning.
03/05 -219.6lb. Muscles feel very sore this morning from the sudden increase in exercise, calories have been accurately recorded so I know this is likely to be water retention. Plan for today is to get through Friday without making poor food choices. Just because it’s Friday, doesn’t mean I ‘deserve’ a treat.
03/06 - 219.2lb. Muscles still very sore, but going to do a long walk today; drink plenty of water and choose healthy options all day. I feel really motivated at the moment.

Happy Weekend!
SW: 55,3
GW: 54,3
Day/Weight/Comment
03/03: 55,30 - wow, so this jump is crazy. The past days were full of eating mostly on track and walking more than usual ( I normally don't get over 5k steps, I don't know how you all do so many!), so that definitely played a huge role. I also gave me quite the confidence boost, that maybe getting to my UGW might actually be possible. Lets see what the next 10 days bring.
03/04: 55,15 - seeing the 5 as a second digit is still really mind-blowing for me! There is a drop again, which I am quite proud of! Yesterday I however did something stupid: Apart from a small breakfast porridge I didn't eat anything all day. Partly because I was not hungry, partly because I was so busy. And then in the evening I totally went over board, not tracking, eating way past the point of satisfaction. Due to the lack of calories during the day that apparently didn't change my overall weight. But I think it is such an unhealthy way of depriving myself of nutrients for so long, so I do not want to go down that road further. For today I have pre-logged lots of healthy, filling stuff for my body.
03/05 55,25 - a little rise, but still about the same. Yesterday evening I definitely went overboard calorie wise. But it was still okay, because due to an super active day I just needed more food. I also showed up for my goal from the day before and ate lots of healthy stuff - even my evening 'binge' was quite healthy. Today I am to meet a friend for a walk and get a local popular pastry to-go. That will definitely have some influence on the scale, but I am trying to plan around it. My biggest worry right now: Staying at my current weight for a couple of days, getting demotivated ('You will never reach your end goal, its just not possible), and then binging for two days straight. So therefore my new mantra: Maintaining my current weight is already an amazing step in the right direction!
03/06 55,10 - okay, so this is amazing. And that even though I yesterday definitely went over my calories. But funnily not so much with the pastry, but with my breakfast. I was in such a 'giving up' mood yesterday. But today I feel way clearer again. In an hour I will meet with a friend for a run together. Haven't been running in a couple of weeks so lets see how that goes

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
3/3 207.4 Walk 3.2 + .5 miles, 1882 cal, 88 net carbs, 1 glass of wine. Validating original plans and contracts for DD’s 1 year anniversary party in April as a follow up to the wedding last year that went from 150 people down to 10 during lockdown. Stressful since there is much to do and the photographer just backed out.
3/4 206.7 Walked 3.4 + .6 miles, bike 20 min, 1989 cal, 44 net carbs, 1.5 glasses of wine. Afternoon of Tostitos feeding stress. Need to break that habit.
3/5 206.4 Walk 2.8 + 1.3 miles, garden clean up, 2417 cal, 53 net carbs 2 glasses of wine.
3/6 207.1 Walk 2 miles, 2122 cal, 134 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Rice and tostitos get me again on the carbs. I told myself I would not have wine this evening but then my sister stopped by joining DH and I for dinner shrimp creole with roasted broccoli & The Good Guys movie.
NSV: All my size 18 pants now require a belt to keep them up.

Goal weight for this round: Maintain in the 115-117ish range.
03/03 116.6 Yesterday was a good day food wise, I just didn’t have time to post yesterday. Maintaining has been working well for me and allows me to have a splurge on the weekends while and eating with a manageable deficit during the week. Some days the deficit is more than others and I don’t stress if I eat at maintenance during the week.
This challenge will be interesting because it is during the time I hit my lowest weight for the month. It was great to see 114ish last week and maybe I’ll see it this round too?
I got some yoga in this morning for about 20ish minutes and plan on using the spin bike later today.
03/04 116.0 Busy day but wanted to at least post this. Got some yoga and a walk in.
03/05 115.4 Another super busy day with work. Food has been good so far. Planning to go out to eat tonight and enjoy a couple beverages.
03/06 DNW Going out to dinner last night with my husband was fun. I didn’t go too crazy but it was probably salty. I ended up having three boneless buffalo chicken wings, so they were the size of nuggets and I had ¾ of a grilled chicken quesadilla. I was full by the end of it and didn’t get dessert. I had a few drinks throughout the night. My husband wants Thai for lunch but I’m not going to get it. I’m kind of just craving toast with cream cheese, a couple of eggs, and maybe fruit for breakfast and then for lunch I’ll have yogurt with fruit and cashews.
Work has been stressful recently so I’m also working on the way I respond to stressful situations.

Day, Weight, Comment
3/03 – 201.8 – 11,193 steps, 30 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Uggggggggggg. Whelp, at least I’m down from January, barely. Gonna keep on doing this. Focus today on afternoon/after-work eating and drinking. Sometimes a glass of wine leads to a bowl of chips leads to cheeseburger delivery.
3/04 – 200.4 – 14,203 steps yesterday. Not feeling well. Brain fog, headache, congested, sore throat, exhausted.
3/05 – 199.8 – 10,568 steps yesterday. Still not feeling well. My mind is scattered in a million directions. I had a job interview this week and have two more coming up, but I don’t know what to do! I’m nearing 50 and I don’t have kids. I have many years of experience as a writer and as an adjunct college instructor (temporary, part-time, no security, no benefits). I’m not going to invest 6 years in a PhD at this point. My dream job would be teaching college English full-time, but that’s nearly impossible without a PhD. I have an interview for a job at a community college next week, but I doubt I’ll be selected. I think I’ll get an offer for a writing job next week, but I’m not sure that’s what I want to do. I’ve also just applied to a secondary teaching licensure program. I just need a couple of classes and the student teaching component. I have a fantasy about making a bigger impact on the world as a high school teacher, but I worry it’s only a fantasy and I’d hate it with all the things standing between good teaching and the realities K12 teachers are dealing with. My heart says be a teacher; my brain says be safe and accept a writing job.
3/06 – 201 – 12,417 steps, 30 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Driving out into the desert today. Hoping to get some focus and clarity. I’ve got to start focusing better on health goals – both mental and physical.

@quiltingjaine - That's the conflict. For the teaching licensure certificate, I'd need to take a three-week class this summer that meets 9-12 M-F, then in fall I'd have a class with a 45-hour practicum component, and next spring I'd be student teaching full-time. I'm feeling more clear that I want to commit to teaching. I think I should focus on the licensure goal and continue applying for teaching in higher ed rather than settling for what could be an excellent writing job but would not feel as meaningful to me as teaching. I was supposed to hear back yesterday about a second interview for one of the jobs and wasn't contacted, so perhaps there is no conflict!
Thank you for your advice!4 -
@beagletracks I can’t encourage you more to go the teacher route! I’ve been in education since 1981, and while it’s a LOT of work, it is SO rewarding!!! The relationships I’ve built with kids over the years make me happy every.single.day! I have always felt teaching was a calling for me. If you LOVE kids, then the rest will fall into place. I’m secondary science, but I think your post said you want to teach secondary English. Go for it!!
Thank you, @UTMom81 - YES! That's where I'm headed. I thought about it a lot yesterday, so now I'm very eager to hear back about the licensure program. I'm also back in the sub system after a 4-hour training. I was just replying to quiltingJaine about this. Teaching is everything to me! Definitely my calling. Writing would be easier, but I simply love teaching, as difficult as it is.5
