It's helpful to read other's comments and see that weight does not fall off in a orderly way. I'm looking forward to possibly reaching my goal for this month for the first time since I started this challenge!

Wishing everyone a great April!

4/1- 177.2 lbs ....got my second vaccination yesterday so feeling a little tired and sore today hopefully I will better later today so I can get a workout in 😊
4/8- 175.2 lbs....had to make up some calorie burning the last few days but it paid off! My body is definitely a little sore from last nights workout but totally worth it 😊
4/15- 171.8 lbs...much bigger drop than anticipated, must have been some water weight! Feels great just was a big surprise today ❤️ Staying focused on logging my food and exercising! The nice weather has helped a lot and the craziness at work has me getting a bunch more steps in so hope I can keep this up for a bit longer 😺
4/22-169.6 lbs....reached my goal!!! My new goal is going to stay under 170 this next week 😳 since covid began my parents haven’t come down to visit and now that we all are vaccinated they are coming to see me for my birthday! Very excited to see them just need to make sure I don’t go too crazy with food and gain too much weight this next 7 days 🤞

Wow...can't believe I am down 2 lbs for the week! I have been journaling all my food with a few exceptions. Family is here for awhile, grandkids, etc and that makes it interesting. They love pasta! I do too but hardly ever have it. A salad just doesn't look like a plate of rotini and meatballs! Oh well.
Today I go in for some heart tests so hoping those all come out good. Losing this weight will help. Working towards that Onederland.

The weather is getting nicer out here in Northern Il. Makes it more appealing to get out there and play in the garden and walk around to see the birds and plants blooming. Hoping everyone has a great weekend and a good week ahead. Remember that one day doesn't ruin everything....just like a thunderstorm that passes. Look for the good and you will find it!

Worked steadily to improve the dietary part of my health journey this past week and maintained my daily physical activity (one day all my daily walks ended up amounting to 2 & 1/2 hours) but the weight did not drop. That said my body just feels like it wants to drop some weight (maybe tomorrow is my lucky day with the scale?) so onward and downward with determination (seems like a good mantra?). I also wrote out the quote and taped it to my monitor from something I read last week "If I am tired of starting over, I need to stop giving up" so this is me not giving up.

Wishing all a successful week whether it be weight loss, increased fitness or just some mindful inspirations

take care & be well everyone

Mfp start weight: 287.6
April Start Weight:278.8
April Goal Weight: 270
Ultimate Goal Weight: 160

Apr 1: 278 (or 278.8. My scale is kinda messed up and i probably need to get a better one). A teacher, teaching virtual and in-person at the same time. Chained to a desk. Struggling to get steps and activity. Trying to do better.

Apr 8: 278.2 I don’t believe the 278 form last week (think it was an artificial low. I bough a new scale, so i feel more confident in this week’s number). Went on a walk around campus 2 days this week at lunch with my teacher friends. Trying to use the “far” faculty bathrooms whenever time permits. Trying to walk around the room more during work time when my virtual kids aren’t asking questions and i’m not filling out “paperwork”.

Apr 15: 273.9. Had a “woosh” after a long day at a STEM day camp with a group of students. Been pretty exhausted ever since. Rough weather and a rough week at school meant no lunch-time walks and a lot of sitting at my desk.

Apr 22: 272.7. Was down to 269.8 one day this week. That felt nice to see. It’s been a really stressful week at work, the students are burnt out of computer based learning and even the teachers are starting to turn on each other. Today was good, though. Trying to eat more sensible portions and reduce/eliminate alcohol. I did splurge and get a latte this morning, though. It was worth it.
