    Sunday: Week 4

    PW: 154.4 lbs
    CW: 158.4 lbs
    GW: 140 lbs

    *Sigh. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here. I’ve literally worked out everyday this month with only missing 2 days of working out. I drink at least 64oz of water daily and I’m trying to aim at doubling that. Not to mention, my eating habits are wayyyy better.

    I’m lost. I’ve gained more weight with exercising and eating healthy than I did with eating whatever. I’ll try to keep motivated so I won’t mess up closing my ring streak on my apple watch.

    Starting tomorrow, my plan is to drink smoothies, tea, and water while snacking on fruits and nuts for the next 3 days.

    …Or maybe I need to stop doing a “quick diet” because I see this dramatic weight loss then I try to workout and eat healthy and I gain it all
    back. 🤔 I just don’t know what else to do.

    don't lose heart...it could be as simple as gaining muscle mass...at some point the number on a scale means nothing...if you're doing everything right, just keep at it...its for the long run, not just for those lbs to lose now and gain back later. Do a BIA (using one of those fancy weight machines that can give body composition) and track that...it should help show if there is change (more muscle, more water retention) or just plateauing, in which case you need to change thing diet and training wise.

    Thanks for your kind words. I’ll look into that BIA. I’m the meantime, I just finished my first workout for the day. It’s time to take control 🦾

    I feel like this is going to end up a bigger loss since I weighed in directly after a carb overloaded night. Hosted a poker party and made chicken/yellow rice and black beans (side of beer, sugary cokes and mini Cubans from Publix🤦🏻‍♀️) I just really need to stay focused this week and try not to get out of control with my nephew’s birthday party coming up on Sunday.

    Also, how’s everyone doing??
    Did y’all happen to notice we got an extra Challenge week in March?? Whaaaaa??
