Day/Weight/Comment

09/09 - 238.1 Not too surprised by a slight increase with my food intake yesterday. Working 12 hour days and still getting a T25 workout and walking the dogs in the evening. Now that MFP says I'm 51% to my goal I'm more motivated than ever. Only 49% to go!
09/10 - 238.5 Again, not overly surprised. Chinese for lunch and then a hearty dinner followed by no trips to the bathroom... Anyway got a great ab workout in this morning and plan on a nice walk tonight headed into the weekend! Here's to a drop come Monday.
09/11 - 239.6
09/12 - 239.2
09/13 - 237.9 Finally got back down but still not down to the end of the last round and the round goal is far away. I'm in the last week of T25 Alpha round so I have 3 rounds of the hardest workout this week so hopefully that helps. I also bought shoes for our Peloton bike so I can get some extra workouts in. Just have to remember I'm doing everything right and the numbers will come when they're ready.
09/14 - 237.7 It's starting to feel like this will be a flat round with only 4 days to go and that's okay! Some rounds have big losses and some rounds smaller. I'm just learning to take these flat days/weeks as mental health time to reflect on being in a better place than I was 4.5 months ago. Only had T25 abs this morning so if I don't get up and moving at work today I may hop on the Peloton and get that extra burn.

Hello everyone, sorry for jumping in mid round

I used to be part of the group before covid and lost quite a bit of weight thanks to you all, but then I badly broke my ankle and spent 8 months in a wheelchair. To date I'm still in physiotherapy and limited in my activities as my leg isn't quite straight anymore.

Between that and the Covid shutdown I've put some weight back on, luckily not all of it but I still need to do that work all over again.

It's lovely to see some of the familiar faces/names from back then and I look forward to reading everyone's progress!

So here we go again

Start weight: 164lbs
1st goal weight : 156lbs

9/11 210 After a day on antibiotics due to tooth pain, I got in for an evaluation with an endodontist, who is going to re-treat a two year old root canal, but can't schedule me in until Oct 6th. Suddenly, my concern about weight loss shifted to pain control! I was exhausted after driving to the big town with an endo since my brother who I'm visiting lives out in the boonies. Sleep & rest are restorative.

9/14 214.4 going in the wrong direction! I swam yesterday & felt the effects of endorphins, but was really hungry after swimming. Sadly my planned meals weren't satiating enough, so I overate. Today is a new day. I commit to eating only my planned portions today. Revised goal for this challenge is to be at or close to the weight at which I started this challenge. Dang that means I'll need to lose 3 pounds in 4 days!

Went on a run with my husband early yesterday morning. I run more consistently and further than he does, he's only an occasional runner. There is quite a height difference (he's 6'3 and I'm barely 5'4), so his stride is much bigger than mine but I usually have no issue keeping pace with him - not yesterday. He was on fire and I was not feeling it! Maybe it will take a few runs to get my body used to runny early morning instead of mid-day. But still happy, to have a running partner!
9/10 = 162.8
Core workout yesterday, feeling a little sore but the DOMS will pass...The scale will most likely start moving again as the soreness lessens. Slept in this morning instead of running early a.m. with my husband, just couldn't make myself do it. Will run mid-day instead, it's beautiful weather for it too!
9/11 = 163.3
No reason for this uptick, just a random body fluctuation I guess. Not worried as am on track with all my goals. Yesterday was a good running day, got lots of water, fasted 18 hours, no alcohol. Have a big full body strength workout planned for today + maybe a long walk as well.
9/12: 163.2
Rest day today,,,,going to make it a super lazy relaxing day!

Menu planning today + mid day run scheduled

Good run yesterday in much cooler temps, can feel that fall is coming! Yoga + a long walk scheduled for today.

9/09 - 229.4 (-.2) Working out at Orange Theory Fitness today. I love these challenges. They keep me motivated and moving forward. Wishing everyone a fabulous next ten days.
9/10 - 229.2 (-.4) Yesterday was my indulgence meal, pizza. Making a long story as short as possible, instead of eating the three pieces I usually eat, I stopped at one and a half pieces. It was a huge disappointment. I love this pizza from one of my favorite places and this time it was a mushy mess. I was mad. What a waste of an indulgence meal. So what did I do? Continue to eat the rest of the evening. It was probably my worst eating day since I started this journey and I was fully expecting to get up and weigh in five pounds more this morning. I was kicking myself all night and my stomach was upset on top of it. I had failed. What mind games! It’s one day out of one hundred maybe? I logged everything (almost 3000 calories). Lucky I don't keep junk food around or it could have been worse. I expect a bump in the next few days, but I’m getting back on track today. Swimming is on the agenda.
9/11 - 229.2 (-.4) While I was swimming yesterday, I thought about the mind games of losing weight. I seem to panic on and off and I think that’s because I wonder, after many failures at losing and regaining, is this the beginning of doing that all over again? I’m determined that this time, things are going to be different. That’s why I’m in this challenge and active on the forums. I’m not in this journey alone and there are so many successful people cheering us on and offering us real life examples of what worked for them. I’m going to trust the process and keep moving forward. Thanks for the great support!
9/12 - 229.8 (+.2) There’s the bump I’ve been expecting. Limited exercise yesterday and no hiking today, with my sister out of town. I'm taking my dogs to a "Doggie Plunge" today as a fundraise for Freedom Service Dogs. After they close the waterpark for the year after Labor Day, it's used for the dogs to play in before they drain it. So much fun!!
9/13 - 228.2 (-1.4) In my head, getting under 230 is a big deal for me. The next mind goal is losing more than 40 pounds (221) and then weighing under 216. There are sometimes odd mini-goals that mean something big to us individually for a variety of reasons. For this week, I’m celebrating weighing under 230. After that, I’m focusing on losing 41!!
9/14 - 228.2 (-1.4) Today I’m back to the pool and then to my art studio to paint. It’s going to be a good day.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/9--207.6 Trainer day today.
9/10--208.5 Uptick is probably from the soreness I have this morning after working out with trainer yesterday. Puppy has 2nd training lesson today. We saw so much improvement after her first lesson.
9/11--208.1 Not enough protein yesterday, so will work on that today. Puppy did so well yesterday and now we have more tools to work on her jumping. Hairdresser today.
9/12--208.5 Way too much candy yesterday and feeling a little gross today. Near my hairdresser there is this really cute old fashioned candy story that I went to yesterday and got some candy. Ate too much of the candy yesterday. Luckily, I don't visit my hairdresser that often. I really need to get my water today. Trainer day today.
9/13--208.5 Low-key day today. Going to take dog out for a long walk to help with the soreness from my workout yesterday. Goals for today are water and protein.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/08 …..187.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/09 …..188.8 ….. (trend weight 187.9) A gain overnight. It tasted like cookies but it was really the past week of well problems over & over and no water, travel, medical issues related to prior cancer that is still unresolved and the death in my extended family. Emotional eating and stress is real! Today I travel again for two CT scans. One of the liver, one of the lung. This is not a routine set of tests. There are issues that are being checked and/or rechecked. Things have been found and we need to get to the bottom of it. Travel for me means a lot of inactivity and restaurant dinner. I may skip posting my weight tomorrow (which I have never done) because I just can’t take anymore stress or pressure. I’ll post and read, but no weight! Well company coming back tomorrow. Maybe some resolution but I’m skeptical because they have already been here a couple of weeks ago. I am going to try to pull myself together tomorrow and start weighing myself again on Saturday. I just can’t take anymore bad news! In regards to those cookies, I promise it was not 1.2 pounds worth. Scale is all over the place!

09/10 …..DNW ….. (trend weight DNW) CT scans were easy yesterday. 3 large cups of contrast dye an hour prior. No results yet, of course. I had to stop my diabetes medication Wednesday night and I can’t resume taking until Sunday morning. I guess that forces me to really watch what I am eating although it didn’t stop me yesterday during travel. Today really needs to be a good day.

09/11 …..189.2 ….. (trend weight 188.3) Okay, I guess I expected as much after travel. Good news on the CT scan results…..liver lesions are benign cycts. Lung nodule has grown again both in length and width but they still feel it is not a fast enough growth from CT scan to CT scan rechecks to merit a biopsy or to suspect cancer. They will continue (as they have done since 2019) to monitor it every 6 months with follow-up CT scans. Yay! Now, to get through the real worry next week on the 16th. What does the breast surgeon recommend for my unusual skin changes on the breast which could be a pre-cursor to a very aggressive breast cancer metasteses? We will know soon…… I am planning a lazy day today as I am mentally exhausted. However, if I push myself hard enough I may just fit in a few short walks and some dancing. BTW, well company never showed up yesterday. WTH?

09/12 …..188.4 ….. (trend weight 188.3) I worked hard yesterday afterall and skipped that rest day. I cleaned window frames outside and was up & down stairs all day. I also rode the exercise bike twice, did a little walking, and danced for about 20 minutes. One song was “Have you ever seen the rain?” Yes, I was thinking of you @quiltingjaine ! Good meals yesterday but a bad snack last night. I’ve got to improve my habits!

09/13 …..189.0 ….. (trend weight 188.4)Drats already! After burning a gajillion calories the past 2 days, I ended up with my body screaming for calories and the hunger was intense at 1:00 AM. After closing out of MFP I ended up in the kitchen cooking and eating. 3.5 hours of sleep and then on the scale weighing. Not such a good plan! Today I will be burning many calories again and back on my projects. I will have to plan better. During the hunger I tried 1 oz of walnuts, then a full size (140 cal) yogurt, then a piece of 90% cacao dark chocolate. That just added to my extra calories when I finally cooked a meal. Not happy here today!

09/14 …..187.6 ….. (trend weight 188.3) Very strange…..last night I needed no snacks and wiped them off my pre-log. The night before I was up cooking at 1:00 AM. I had the same dinner both nights and I did the same phenomenal calorie burn working on my window project. I don’t always get it, but I’ll take that it’s in the right direction today with a smile.
