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.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

@SheilaBoneham Have you tried getting on the scale with something heavy and then re-weighing? My scale did something wonky a couple of weeks ago and that straightened it out. Also, I noticed your posts appear to be dated January not April. 🤷‍♀️

@quiltingjaine Yep, I did. Also did a tap reset. Hmmmm on the dates! Fixed now. Thanks. 🗓

Day/Weight/Comment
04/01 …..207.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/02 …..207.6 ….. Holding my own but I had hoped for a little progress. A cold but beautiful day here. Taking two of the grands for their haircuts and lunch. Full hands today means less steps likely but I will watch my diet.

04/03 …..208.6 ….. Meals weren’t too bad but I did have grilled cheese for dinner as it was a busy day and it’s fast to make. Sodium perhaps? I am, however, beginning to think I may be lactose intolerant and that cheese greatly affects me. That is a nightmare on the diets I prefer to follow for my weight AND my diabetes. I also seem to bloat and gain unreasonably if I’ve had a glass of milk the day before (unless it’s Fairlife Milk). I’m going to pay close attention….. Are we still doing the steps challenge BTW?

04/04 …..207.6 ….. Back down to that comfortable number my body seems to like to hover on. Progress coming soon I hope. Almost 24,000 steps yesterday and over 10 miles. That was just working in the yard! Happy Easter everyone!

04/05 …..206.6 ….. I keep landing on the point 6 lol. Anyway, I’m happy to be down another pound. We did not have an Easter dinner yesterday due to all the construction in my home. Sad to not spend time with my kids and grands but they had more time with the other side of their families so I guess that was good. Daughter is back home with BF after we had a small quibble the other day. Nothing that would otherwise keep us apart but still feeling bad about it. I hope to continue on my good trend with my scale and body fat % losses. All these steps are helping with the leave burning. Another over 20,000 steps yesterday and over 9 miles. My elbow is killing me but my feet and legs say yay!

04/06 …..205.6 ….. Another weight ending in point 6. That means another whole pound down so I’ll take it! TMI helps and so does watching the dairy I think. Still experimenting with that. Another 19,000 steps yesterday burning the leaves. Back and forth to the house to keep an eye on the work crew during the reno. Rain for the next 10 days unless the forecast changes. I’ll find a way to stay as active as I can primarily inside.

04/07 …..207.6 ….. Two pounds overnight is crazy. Lots of veggies yesterday. Healthy eating. 10,200 plus steps. The bad parts? One glass of milk. Fell asleep shortly after a very late dinner and woke up very early for an early weigh-in. Slept 3.5 hours but was wide awake when I woke up.

04/08 …..208.2 ….. What??? Bad points of yesterday: 2 Alcohol drinks totaling about 24 oz. Good side: Healthy eating with lots of good veggies. No dairy. Over 12,000 steps. I managed to get away yesterday (when the work crew left early) for my first hike of the season. I walked several miles on a rugged and rustic trail following the river. It felt great on my legs and body but breathing was a little rough at times. It was a beautiful day. Pushing water today to see if that helps. I slept 5 hours last night which is better than usual.

04/09 …..207.8 ….. Rain yesterday restricted outside work. I still got in over 10,000 steps with some yardwork until the rain came. Diet on target. Snacks a bit too much. I slept 2.5 hours last night which was horrid. I know it was because I slept 5 the night before which is longer than usual. I hope to get some rest tonight. Rain expected the next 4 days (or more) in a row. I will be working on flights of stairs indoors as the crew works.

04/10 …..207.2 ….. A pretty lazy day yesterday due to rain. Kept my diet reasonable and used the stairs for movement. Got in my 10,000 plus steps. Pushed extra water. Right now I am at goal (any loss), but would love to end the round tomorrow in the 6’s. Have a great Saturday everyone!

04/11 …..xxxxx …..
