    4/12 - 125.4 - Happy 40th birthday to me! 🥳 I am so, so happy today. If you had told me on this day last year that today I’d be 40 lbs lighter, able to run a 5K without stopping, able to hold a full plank for 2+ minutes and able to do 3-4 full push-ups, I would have laughed. I owe a ton to this group and all the support - it’s still hard to believe how far I’ve come. The process really can work! We can do this! I’m in the best shape I’ve been since college and so much happier and healthier than I was. I got to sit outside in the sun with two friends yesterday for a picnic birthday brunch - it almost felt normal. Both my husband and I have our first vaccine and are scheduled for #2 at the end of this month. I have two amazing kids who I have the incredible privilege of getting to raise and teach each day - they even made Mommy a special birthday cake with TONS of sprinkles (Daddy helped with the baking but the sprinkles were all them). I know there is so much wrong in the world right now, but today I’m focusing on the joy. 🥰

    4/13 - 125.4 - I will absolutely take that on the scale this morning, since I ate yesterday like calories didn’t exist. Back to reality today - I’ll still enjoy the leftovers and the rest of the birthday cake, of course, but I’ll measure and track them now. Thank you all for the birthday wishes - I try to be a positive voice and give back a little of the help and support I’ve gotten from this group. I hope everyone has a great day - I started mine with a killer leg workout and now I get to go try out my blender with a breakfast smoothie!

    4/14 - 126 - Higher on the scale than I’d like, but there are multiple possible reasons (birthday celebrations catching up to me, hormones, water weight from working out) so I’ll just keep tracking and see what it does. A bit sore and tired this morning; was up multiple times last night with the toddler. My strength workout this morning was back and biceps, then I added a 10 minute HIIT to that to burn some calories.

    4/15 - 125.0 - Went for a 40 minute run this morning; my pace was slower than usual so it only worked out to be about 3.6 miles but I was just feeling really tired. Happier with the number on the scale but would prefer to have more energy. I skipped most of my regular meal prep this week (too busy on Sunday) and it’s made such a big difference in the difficulty of tracking my calories. Facing multiple times a day the dual questions of “what do I want to eat?” plus “What will fit into my calories?” is mentally exhausting compared to simply having everything planned. I won’t skip it again!

    4/16 - 125.2 - Finished the birthday cake last night, so that temptation is gone! My nemesis is still snacking on sweet stuff, especially in the evening after dinner. Gotta be more focused - and go to bed earlier!

    4/17 - DNW
    4/18 - 124.6
    4/19 - 125.8
    4/20 - 125.4 - Sorry I’ve been terrible about checking in this round. We’ve changed up our morning schedule and I keep starting a post then getting distracted and forgetting to post. So! Scale keeps going up and down within 124-126, which is fine though I’d prefer it a little lower. I’ll have to do the work for that though, and I like my snacks an awful lot to focus on weight loss again. I’m going to finish this round and then take a break for awhile, I think.

    4/21 -

    Day/Weight/Comment
    04/11 …..206.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    04/12 …..207.4 ….. I ate 3 meals yesterday instead of my normal 2 which pushed my calories and carbs up a bit. However, I did make good choices and I got out in the yard yesterday evening for a bit to do some more raking and yard clean-up. The house I bought was empty for awhile so the leaves and pine needles are never ending. I burned extra calories had over 11,000 steps so for that I am grateful. Good luck everyone this round!

    04/13 …..207.2 ….. Another small step forward in my journey. I am grateful for any progress. Now…… to avoid the two steps back!

    04/14 …..207.6 ….. Likely a no TMI uptick. Yesterday was a good day with both diet and exercise (movement).

    04/15 …..207.6 ….. I worked my butt off in the yard yesterday to counteract those 2 slices of pizza. No gain is good.

    04/16 …..207.2 ….. More yard work yesterday after a worker left turned out great. I got lots of work done and was pretty far from the fridge at the same time. Win-Win.

    04/17 …..206.6 ….. Well……..according to trend weight dot com, I will be at goal with a 54 pound loss on Nov. 16, 2032. Now if the isn’t a kick in the butt, I don’t know what is! I was a little depressed for a second seeing this on my screen, but now I am feeling positive. It is the push that I needed for today. Scale is down over half a pound today so I’m off to another good start!

    04/18 …..208.2 ….. I am not in a place of love today. Trendweight now tells me today that I will lose my 54 pounds by July 29, 2054. Right now, I hate everything about my life. I feel so disadvantaged all because I want to live near my children and grandchildren. Not making excuses but truth is truth. I hate the medications I am on that causes weight gain. I hate my bad thyroid. I hate my diabetes that stops me from the fasts I see other people using as a tool due to sugar drops. I hate that my town has no gym, no ymca, no public pool, no sidewalks, only gravel with horse poop on the sides from the Amish horses. No bike trails. I hate that we are expecting our typical snow storm in April here in Michigan. I hate that we can’t plant until June and our first snow is usually in September. Most of the year outside activities are prohibited, especially for a fall risk like me. I hate that we have one small grocery store that doesn’t carry all these wonderful diet products and low cal or low carb foods that I see pics of on MFP. Okay, rant over. Yesterday I had 12,574 steps, 5.31 miles, 2748 calories burned. Only 3.75 hours of sleep. Late dinner, up early and no TMI. It looks like it will be a chilly but beautiful day today. I will work on getting out of this bad headspace, pull up my big girl panties and try to make this day count again. Lots of hugs are okay, friends. I need them today.

    04/19 …..206.0 ….. Feeling better today and of course, the scale reading helped as did the TMI. , I appreciated all the hugs and comments. Thanks everyone. I will be traveling today for some building supplies and such. Dinner will be out so I expect an uptick on the scale tomorrow but I will try not to panic. 19,281 steps yesterday in yardwork. I burned 3359 calories and walked 8.15 miles in my yard. That explains the drop on the scale and the very very nice drop in body fat.

    04/20 …..206.0 ….. No added travel weight on the scale from yesterday’s journey. Sometimes it takes a few days. More travel tomorrow for dentist cleaning for myself and son. Thursday travel is for the 2nd Moderna Covid shot. Everything is so far but it is always nice to get my son out of the house. His autism and quirks tend to make him want to stay in. Nervous about upcoming scale with all the driving, sitting, and meals out. Trying to stay focused on just one day at a time….. Today I am home. I have a large work crew coming. I will be babysitting my DGS #4 this evening. I am excited to spend some time with him!

    04/21 …..xxxxx …..
