And I got my first vaccine! 😀 hooray!!

SW 183.4
4/8 180.8
4/16 179.4

well....

highs - got lost a bit on my Sunday hike and knocked out 13.6 miles

lows - work upheaval led to some sloppy tracking. All in all .4 was fair.

Good but didn't feel good - my husband has decided to cut back on drinking, and I want to be supportive, but oh this was a tough week and there were at least two nights I could have used a couple beers. Tried to make him go to sleep early using my mind, didn't work.

MY CHALLENGE GOAL: lose 30 pounds by July 30th (17 weeks)
highest weight: 330 (7/10/2020)
challenge starting weight: 264 rewards
challenge goal weight: 234
ultimate goal weight: 210-220 (whatever gets me down to 20% body fat)

Mar 31 : 264.0 (starting weight)
Apr 02 : 261.9 : lost 2.1, total loss = 2.1
Apr 09 : 261.2 : lost 0.7, total loss = 2.8
Apr 16 : 265.3 : gained 4.1, total loss = -1.3
Apr 23 : 257.9 : lost 7.4, total loss = 6.1 in 4 weeks
Apr 30 :
... Jul 30 :

Goal : 234.0 : desired loss = 30.0

I was hospitalized April 12th to April 25th (nothing serious). I can only imagine my four pound gain was mostly water retention. In any case, this past week has been a good one. I'm back to chasing my goal!

Speaking of which, to reach my goal, I'll have to lose an average 1.7 pounds/week for the next 14 weeks! That's okay, I love a challenge, but it means no more "rewards" during the week. I used to allow myself one "reward" a week only if I met my weekly goal on Friday. I've gotten more "generous" lately. So, back to being that tough disciplinarian.

HI! hope everyone is having a good week. I am finishing up my school for the summer this weekend and looking forward to focusing on my health! I will post my stats even though not much has changed lol.
April 13th weight: 164.6 lbs
April 23rd weight: 165 lbs

Weigh-in day.

Start (Dec14 2020)165 lbs
Two weeks ago 145.2 lbs
Present 143.0 lbs
Goal 140 lbs
Loss this period 2.2 lbs
Total loss 22 lbs

These numbers reflect change over two weeks as I wasn’t home last weigh-in day.

Today, I achieved a random milestone for myself. I am turning 72 on May 4th ("May the fourth be with you." )
I thought it would be fun to try to lose 72 pounds by my 72nd birthday. I did it!

(starting weight: 330, midpoint: 280, goal weight: 230)

This was my first week in a while of being consistent here again and even though I know that there won't always be progress like that I still feel very happy and motivated - and tired from all the walking. Going for a hike today, something which became our regular Sunday activity in covid times. Looking forward to it! On Monday I am going to see a doctor - also to ask about weight loss. I am embarassed and wish I wouldn't be...

Happy Sunday! Today:
Starting weight (March 21): 233.4
April 1st: 222.4
April 11th: 217.3
April 18th: 215.6
April 25: 211.8
Loss so far this month: 10.6 pounds
Goal for July 31: 195
Ultimate goal: 180ish

Really happy with this week, especially as we had our first date night in forever last night and ate in a restaurant and I even had pizza! I was very careful with serving size and knowing I had to weight this morning helped.

Have a great week all!
