Ok day yesterday. Have some left over Cheetos from the Super bowl. They don't taste as good as my mind thought they did. I still ate some though!

WOO HOO - finally some movement that I don't think is due to dehydration! Now to stay under 190...

Round 177 end weight 265
2/16: 263.4 - Down 16.6 pounds - Victory! The final days of round 177 were so confusing. I was consistently gaining weight for a few days, and then on the last day I was finally back down. So glad to be starting round 178 strong
2/17 - 262.6 - Down 17.4 pounds - Whoop whoop! I'm so proud of myself. Yesterday was the end of my 4 week challenge to eat right and workout daily. I lost 10.8 pounds! Wow. I'm hoping to keep this trend going and try to lose as much as possible before TOM. I'm still basking in the glow of being consistent for 4 whole weeks. I've never done that before. I finish a 3 week workout program today. I'll be taking the weekend to rest, and then on to a new program on Monday.
2/18 - 262.2 - Down 17.8 pounds - Yesterday was Day 21 of 21 in my workout program. First time ever finishing a workout program. So proud of myself. I have been struggling this last week because my body was so tired from the 21 days of exercise. I think all programs should have a mandatory rest day. Those active rest days with Yoga and Pilates are a joke. Those workouts are tough. I am so glad to have three whole days for my muscles to rest and recover. I still might do some walking around the neighbor hood and/or stretching. One of my long term goals is to become really flexible, and maybe even do a split. lol.

Very happy for the scale to be moving back down again. It's funny because yesterday I ate a few more calories (around 1500 rather than 1300) and I worked out less (just an hr walk, no strength or cardio). It goes to show that you shouldn't give up based on what's on the scale, and that you don't always need to overly do it, your body's rest is just as important. But who knows, maybe the sale will go back up again tomorrow 🤣

Day/Weight/Comment
02/15 …..196.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/16 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.7) Good luck everyone this round. Welcome old friends and new! This scale reading is a couple of good days in a row of diet and movement finally showing up in a bigger better way. Yesterday was another very good day on both fronts until…..that late night bagel Starving!) with honey butter on it and the handful of jolly ranchers (couple hundred calories?). Glad I didn’t sabotage the scale with it, unless it shows up later……To be continued.

02/17 …..196.0 ….. Trend weight 195.7) Back to square one. I’m not sure why I’m jumping up & down by about 1 ½ pounds pretty consistently lately, but it’s annoying. I did have a late night snack of ham roll-ups which I though would be okay since they are lower carb, but I didn’t think it would cause a 1.6 lb gain. This is probably showing up from the jolly ranchers the other night, but that is still a lot of weight. Hoping for a better tomorrow.

02/18 …..194.2 ….. (Trend weight 195.6) Well, after what appeared to be a very serious house fire filled with smoke I found out that it was my well pump that burned up. Smoke got into the cold air register making the smoke get transferred to all 3 floors. Breathing was difficult but it was obvious it was something I could shut down at it’s electrical box. Now, no water until God Himself know. Rural area here. Limited resources. Need a 1.5 HP jet deep well pump with dual inlet. Can’t seem to find one anywhere in America. I would like new, but I can’t even find one used. House size requires no less than that. And the well man (only one in my town) is not sure he knows how to even install this type. I have no idea what I am going to do at this point. Smdh. No answers.

Round # 45 for me!
SW: 371.4 (5500 step goal, goal to lose 2 to 3 lbs. each challenge, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out more than once every 10-day challenge)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
2/16 369.4 – 5935 steps. Happy about the loss and being in a new decade also. Now to maintain it. When I get into a new decade it takes a minute to stick it firmly. I increased step goal from 5100 to 5500.
2/17 369.4 – 5680 steps. Too many carbs yesterday but within calories and it was clean carbs. Short walk. I signed up for 6000 step challenge on MFP so I will see how many days I can hit 6000 steps. It is not out of my range especially on the days I go to the office which is 2 days a week.
2/18 367.8 – 6088 steps. I did a workout yesterday and ate well. I had a planned lunch with a friend today. We picked a healthy friendly restaurant. Hard to count calories. So, I estimated. I enjoyed it. This is the 2nd time I have went to a restaurant since the Pandemic started. We went at 11 before lunch crowd. It had a grill and instead of all you can eat grill I ordered from the menu which was better, and my friend followed my lead even though I knew she wanted to go up. I did it for calories and did not want to go up with others who were in line. Ordering from menu does not lend itself to overeating. I had half of it left which I will eat Saturday or Sunday. I think I am going to eat it Sunday depending on my weight tomorrow because of sodium. No chance to drink a lot of water because when I am out and about, I do not drink water because I do not like using public restrooms. I had errands and visited my Dad in the nursing home and it was a long day which is good to burn those calories!
