yesterday was pretty darned awesome...calories at poverty...no 10 min morning workout, but ran at lunch, and did weights before dinner, even though I was busy painting for the kitchen reno, it was a pain, but I did it and made it a priority...did have to skip some of the weights as that tweaky muscle in my back started to complain BUT I'm not in pain this morning, so no injury and it isn't all aggravated again, which is a huge bonus...6 lbs loss is the goal this month and that's an enormous amount for me, so need to stop making excused and stay on track...keep tweaking until it works!!!0

weekend was good, stuck to poverty despite special celebratory events, and had drinks and didn't eat like crazy...plus did some working out, but lazied out of saturday doing painting in the kitchen instead of working out...also had company, so I wasn't perfect
down half a pound so far this month, so that's awesome, need to keep up that momentum0 -
Monday was good, poverty calories which was a total struggle bus as I was crazy hungry with massive overdrive of appetite the whole day...it is PMS week, so I guess that's to be expected, but I super hate the hungry days...I stuck to protein and veggies and made it through still in poverty, so that was GREAT...also ran and stretched some...I really need to up the stretching game...1
-
Tuesday was amazing...no crazy appetite, stuck to the food plan, even had extra after weights and opted for a fruit tart as a reward...such a great day...
Down 2lbs for the month so far and lucifers fracking waterfall is here, but I guess that's ok, I think it's time and this one isn't early at least.0 -
Wed was solid...ran at lunch...didn't do any of my normal walking because I got stuck in stupid meetings at work and missed ALL OF IT...then after work I had to make bread bowls and head to a friends house for chili...was super delicious, and I logged in advance, and I had a beer, and I was still within calories...win for volunteering as the DD and win for the poverty calories...
down another pound and a half this morning, 156.6 is the new number to beat0 -
yesterday was great on the workouts and the food...forgot to get on the scale this morning though...however, progress is progress and I'm doing all the things!!!0
-
well, the scale has bounced up back to almost where I started at this point...
friday was maintenance, had some drinks and such...sat and sun were poverty...workouts all around, ran on friday, weights over the weekend...super cool...picked up the child friday, dinner out sat and sun and STILL in poverty, it was an amazing move of planning ahead...nice win for me despite that ho of a scale...0 -
today is a huuuuungry day
hate those
such a challenge
so far giant breakfast + protein shake lunch + planned cobb salad for dinner out
no snacking0 -
yesterday was good...less of a struggle...actually came in decent on protein too...always nice...managed to avoid the temptation presented by chicken alfredo and stick to chicken on my salad...also instant-potted some eggs for future salads...I think that will help make them "stick" a little longer...
I did have a weird evening thing after dinner where I was jittery and light headed...but on further reflection, I think it's possible that was not a blood sugar issue but more of a hot flash or hormone issue as those make me feel light headed as well...it's been so long since I had one I forgot how they feel...might need to up the DIM again as I cut it back to 3/day instead of 6/day about 3-4 weeks ago...
tonight is dinner out with some friends, so I'll need to be diligent and on top of things is I want to stick to my poverty goals...also the weekend is graduation, so saving my maintenance day for that0 -
yesterday was good, even had whiskey wednesday AND dinner out with the girls AND still kept to poverty calories...took some planning but I did it!!!!
also down 3 lbs today, so that's nice...not still where I started even if the scale is still robbing me of 1 lb I lost0 -
Thursday - excellent, workouts done and food on target
Friday - went to graduation...food was mostly on target sans whiskey...no exercise and lots of time sitting
Saturday - went to graduation...didn't really track food at all, but ate to appetite...no exercise and lots of time sitting
Sunday - visited friends...didn't track but ate to appetite, had mimosas so probably over on calories as those add up quick...again no exercise, but did stand most of the day, too tired of sitting
Monday - excellent, workouts done and food on target
holidays are hard, but I'm doing my best0 -
tuesday - tracked and did well during the day...dinner was over at moms so didn't track that...then chatted on the phone with a friend until midnight and had 3 whiskies...so that's definitely likely to be a maintenance day, not likely a poverty one0
-
Wed-Sat all included alcohol...not a lot but a drink here and there...no super amounts of drinking...I did have like 5 or 6 whiskies on friday, but that was from like 5pm to about midnight, so just social drinking not getting trashed, though the calories still add up...food was to appetite, not crazy, not stuffing myself...back to tracking sunday and doing the workouts and sticking to poverty...
currently 162, but not only can I feel the puffiness in my hands from the rich salty foods, but it's also pms week, so there's an unknown amount of water retention skewing the scale...we'll see how it goes after getting back on track for a few days0 -
monday was a nice 500 cal fast day...hard, but not too terrible...miso soup and rice cakes to the rescue when needed...down a pound today, so that's nice progress...hands still feel puffy...will eat poverty today...0
-
tues was a poverty day, wed more of a poverty day than the fast it was supposed to be, thursday is a poverty day, on target...recovery week workouts which is cool...tomorrow will be fasting until dinner, then having friends over for chili0

Long time no update...
NY started great...exercise and food on target for several days
Massive snowstorm on Monday the 3rd, almost a food of snow and no power for several days. We were fine, had my oldest son and his daughter here so he could go to work without having to drag her out on the tree strewn roads...we have a wood stove, so we were warm and had hot meals which was way better off than many folks...also have plenty of flashlights and candles and headlamps so navigating the dark was annoying but ok...the oil lamp which is usually our main source of light broke and wouldn't advance the wick, so that was disappointing, but to be fair, it's over 20 years old as it was originally a wedding gift, and we've gotten more than enough use out of it over the years, but will need to find a replacement for sure...melting snow to flush toilets, etc...rustic, but we were warm and that's really the important part.
Return of power Wed evening...was able to work Thursday and wash all the dishes and all the clothes and do all the showering, which was quite lovely...
Return to workouts and food track on Friday...so mostly back on target...I actually didn't eat much while the power was out, mostly didn't have much of an appetite...and to be fair I totally could have done the workouts, but not being able to shower put kind of a damper on wanting to get all sweaty, and not able to track food due to no internet...but...all in all I think it's fine, I didn't eat like a crazy person at all, which is nice.0 -
Saturday was awesome, both workouts done, food on target, could have used a bit more protein, but it was a veggie dinner, so protein was actually really good all things considered...did some thrift store shopping and found cool stuff for the baby...also watched lots of supernatural, should have walked between episodes because today my hips are killing me...today is glutes, so that will be super hard, but also awesome because my booty is looking a bit flat and needs to be rounded out like a ton more!!!!0
-
Sunday was good, even got some walking in which is rare on a weekend but since we were home and just watching Supernatural we went ahead and did a mile between each episode until the rain started.
Monday was a hungry hungry hippo day from the start, so opted to make it a maintenance day instead of trying to stick to poverty...I usually have one or two maintenance days a week anyway, and typically over the weekend but with no special events I was sticking to poverty, so Monday felt ok to ease up a bit. I did stick to lots of good quality food instead of junk, so my protein was plenty high even without a shake...also did my workouts, which was cool...and bathed the baby twice since she exploded out of her diaper after her first bath...don't miss those days, normally she's a morning pooper and it's her dad's problem but apparently we hit the jackpot in a bad way!!!0 -
Tuesday was good, poverty, plenty of protein, weights complete even though I had to break them into 2 sections to fit them in...did have to take an Aleve because I was so sore, but stayed away from the wine despite how tempting it was!!!0
-
yesterday was solid...run in the living room at lunch, check...Xstretch before dinner, check...food on target, mostly, was about 100 cals over to get in a protein shake before bed, totally worth it...
next few days will be crazy...planning to shift Sat workout to Sun since Sat will be working on the insulation in the beach house shed plus travel home...Fri workout will just be scrapped probably due to travel, but might be able to squeeze it in if we get there and get the supplies and have some time before dinner...given that I'll be doing lots of furniture moving and such, I'm not super worried about missing the running, it will be a different type of activity for sure...I can also run in place after dinner, that's an option if I run out of time and don't want to brave the dark and colder temperatures of night time.0
