Late weigh in. Wildly different, so I will average them.

PW 194.2
CW 193.6 (194.4 and 192.9)

We are T (or M) minus 3 days to loading our stuff. Talked to our driver. It will take 2 days to load. They are estimating almost 25,000 pounds for both our houses!!! Too much stuff. Too late to really do anything about it now. We weeded what we could as we went. More before the next move into our forever home. Once we sell our home and find a new forever home (we are renting for a year-ish), i do t EVER want to move again. 😞🙂

After two years of essentially all home cooked meals, i am not looking forward to a week and a half of take out. We are trying to be as creative as we can with the cooking supplies still out. The take out food is not sitting well with me. Funny what a two year pandemic can do to you. Pre-pandemic we ate out waaay too much. Now i feel so sensitive to salt and the other stuff they use.

Trying to take moments to breathe and stretch. Update on my sister for those so interested, she is having surgery on Tuesday (same day as movers) to remove the cancer and the upper lobe of her lung. Shes scared of the post op pain. Any and all good vibes and prayers welcome. Missing you all.

I am doing good. Turns out when I started eating at my perceived maintenance calories, my TDEE went up by another 200-250 calories. Guess our bodies do try to conserve energy and slow down some minor processes when we are in a deficit for a long time. Bcuz of my new and improved TDEE, I am still losing 2-3 lbs a month on average. Slow but still awesome. My ultimate goal weight is just 6 pounds away(15% bf) and my ultimate ultimate goal weight is roughly 16 pounds away (10% bf). I am very excited to get there till Summer. But i dont care if it takes longer. It would be ridiculous to not be happy with my current physique. At this point, most of my wardrobe is slim-fit tops and trousers in size small which is cool for a 6ft tall me. I was wearing 6XL t-shirts just 2 years ago lol. I do have loose skin on my chest and lower belly but it is improving fast as my overall weight goes down and my lifting weight is going up. It only looks bad when I bend over. I am hoping there is a male version of a Victorian corset I can wear to train myself to stay upright when on the beach lol

My hunger levels are not that crazy anymore. I feel it's only because I eat a lot of volume combined with a ton of protein. Fat-free yogurt, puffed kamut, vegetables, flavor drops and chicken have been game-changers for me. Regular food would have not worked at all in this scenario. 4 out of 5 days, I don't feel very hungry when going to sleep.

Workouts are going fine as well, trying to walk as much as possible plus 4 weight lifting sessions per week. I also started taking a salsa class last week. Next, I am going to try bouldering. Hopefully that happens soon. Also my workplace is holding boxing classes for all employees from April which should be a blast. So much room for activities I tell you

Sunday weigh in:

PW - 189.1
CW - 190.1

I seem to have been free falling since the beginning of the year, and I feel really terrible about it. I think I need to step away from the scale for a few months. Could I please go on the Support Team?

Have a great day, Friends!

@micki48 thinking of you! Moving is SO exhausting no matter how much stuff you have to lug with you.

Very up & down mood for me this week, and same with the scale. Feeling so frustrated and stuck - like I have basically been gaining weight and worsening every aspect of my life since May 2021. Ugh!

Steps were pretty good this week with the exception of yesterday, where the crazy rain/snow/wind really caught me out! Bleh. Ready for SPRING.

Sun: 19,038 + 2 mile jog (12 min mile pace), 36 min sculpt & shred
Mon: 12,979 + 0.5 mile jog (13 min mile pace), 30 min sculpt & shred
Tues: 19,870
Wed: 13,630 + 1 mile jog (12.5 min mile pace)
Thur: 11,690 + 1 mile jog (12.5 min mile pace)
Fri: 17,498 + 1 mile jog (12.5 min mile pace), 36 min sculpt & shred
Sat: 4,011 + 36 min sculpt & shred

The long-dreaded return to the office is upon me. I will go in tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. And on Wednesday, I am giving my notice to my boss! Last day working will be April 1. Scary but necessary. Time to dump this job. Which means I only have to plan/pack/bring breakfasts and lunches for 9 days total! Not so bad. I'm doing egg muffins for breakfast this week which should be easy to transport and microwave. But I was totally drawing blanks on good lunches to bring so I grabbed a few frozen meal options (a Jimmy Dean Delights turkey sausage bowl and a Wegman's pasta dish). At least I can read a bunch on the train.

We've completed another week, folks! There were some impressive losses this past week, and incredible consistency across the board!

Take a look at last week's results in the links below:


Here's a sneak peek into how your team did...

I don’t recall which days I posted steps. Here is the entire week for any days missed

@KellyBgetsfit Yes, being a teacher is hard this year! My husband usually teaches 1st or 2nd grade but this year he took a reading intervention position. His intervention partner was new to the district this year and she was supposed to teacher part time math intervention and part time PE. She made a big deal about having more experience with reading and my husband felt pressured to switch jobs. Once they switched the other lady quit seeing students in the afternoon once my husband left the room to teach PE. The principal busted her doing her own personal laundry at work instead of seeing kids. It has just really bothered my husband. I even took him to a counselor for a bit. That lady was fired this past week. The principal is working on moving staff around and my husband will go back to reading intervention in two weeks. It's just been a bumpy year. My year hasn't been smooth either but not the same as my husband. I just finished a batch of IEP's and have a break before doing a ton in May. We have about 20 students moving to kindergarten who have severe autism! They will have to create new rooms there are so many. We have about 40 or so more kids going to kindergarten with IEP's too. Hang in there Kelly, it's been a year. When are you done? We go until mid June.

@happimess01 I'm so glad you share your journey as it transforms along the way. The game changers at close to goal are not the same ones as at the beginning of the journey - this is important to know! Post some videos of those boxing sessions if you can! Sounds like a blast.

yea, I was eating a ton of chicken in the beginning. Then I had a phase where I was eating a lot of low calorie icecreams. These days, I am so into yogurts with blueberries and raspberries so my staples move around a bit every 6-8 months.


I finally did my first pull up this March. It feels so weird and unnatural to execute the movement. I was like woah, look I am moving vertically by myself.
