Day/Weight/Comment
3/28: 184.5 ate some salty snacks last night before bed.. not enough water!
3/29: 184 alright! I snacked a tiny bit late.. but definitely less.
3/30: forgot to do it in the morning
3/31: 184 - I’ll take it!
4/1: 183 - maybe the scale playing an April fools joke idk haha
4/2: 182.5 - my scale goes in 0.5 increments, but wow! I think it has to do w a medication I stopped taking a few weeks ago. I think it was causing me to not lose weight regardless of how much I exercised and ate really well. Now it seems to finally be moving and I’ve done so much less than before!
4/3 - 182.5 - I’ve been out of the house most days this week, maybe it’s because of decreased snacking too? Maybe I’m snacking more than I ever realize

Goals:Goal for 182, continue to stick with daily reporting in. May be a little challenging as my daughter, SIL, and DGS coming to visit April 4th – April 11th. I would really like to see 135 at the end of the round, which is a number I did briefly see during 181.
The “boys”, AKA the cats, Harry and Han Solo, are going to get tracked once per round as well. Maybe this way I will not keep losing my data for them
SW: 137.8
Cats: Harry 10 lb 14.5 oz; Han Solo 11lb 12.5 oz
3/28 – 136 So the short term “retention” likely sorted itself out. Yesterday, I handled going to a movie well by smuggling a bag of grapes and an individual parmesan cheese in my large purse. I did grab, and track, a few handfuls of hubby’s popcorn. But all around pleased with my choices. At the end of this round, I hope to re-visit the 135 that I saw in the middle of last round.
3/29 – 136.6 Had survived a day of bad choices by limiting quantities. Then about 10 PM I gave into a salt craving and ate an unacceptable number of pretzels. I know today will be good, so I anticipate a corrected weight tomorrow.
3/30 – 135.8 Yesterday was good all around. Steps were 23,788 between my planned walking and house cleaning. Glad the “5” is back. Need to get rid of the .8 during the rest of the round.
3/31 – 135.0 Good day, but it is definitely interesting keeping calories on track when you don’t start your day with a 5 to 7 mile walk. I don’t aim to eat back all my activity calories but it does allow me to be a little sloppy so I had to be more precise yesterday. I also noticed that by mid-afternoon, I was not going to close the “move” ring on my apple watch, so I proceeded to head out for a fast paced (< 14 min/mile) 30 minutes. The “.8” is not there this morning. Now to keep it that way for the rest of the round (going to need to wear a bathing suit often next week given my grandson is arriving on Monday).
4/1 – 135.2 all around good day. Did have to do only 3 laps walking. My Morton’s Neuroma is flairing between all this walking and then me being barefoot on the tile floors
4/2 – 134.8 Yesterday, was a busy and good day. Between my morning walk and rearranging the house, I hit 11 miles. Currently, hubby is away for a couple days. He is picking up DD, DSIL and DGS at the airport today, spending tomorrow with them all at MIL’s, and then driving them to our condo in the keys on Monday. Meanwhile, I am moving DH and I completely from the master bed/bath, to the guest bed bath. And I do mean completely. The master has a large closet (that is now empty) so that will be the “bedroom” for DGS. As for the challenge, I’m going well. I am tracking & planning. Nice to see the 134.8, but I did see it briefly in round 181, before I had a bender day. The urge to binge seems to be more controlled. It is going to be very interesting and challenging to see how I fair once guests arrive on Monday. I will then have a week of guests as mentioned, following by a week of my MIL staying with us through Easter. Just need to do my best.
4/3 – 134.4 Missed first lap of morning walk, but did stay through three more so it worked out to a fairly normal morning walking day. Calories good and I managed to resist the urge to find something to binge later in the evening. So frustrating to even have those cravings. Truly, the only method that I find works is honest tracking so I know what I have consumed and where I stand, and even then that requires being logical when a craving starts. Anyhow, good number! I am pleased. Even though I am up compared to 2021 (where I reached a very low number for me), this is my best weight for 2022.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/28: 135.6 - Happy to be starting this round holding steady at yesterday’s new low. I changed my ultimate goal weight to a range, dipping 5 pounds below what was my ultimate goal weight of 135. This last pound may be tough to achieve this round as I’m traveling for most of it and will be doing a lot of eating out visiting family and friends without a weight scale or a food scale.
3/29: 135.6 - Normal workout, eating, but a little short on sleep due to an early morning flight
3/30: - DNW, traveling - flew cross country yesterday, so not much eating or drinking until dinner. Got my workout in by doing an almost 2 mile walk at the airport while waiting to board and then walked a ton after we arrived. Kept it reasonable at a tapas place and even stopped at Trader Joe’s to pick up some desert/snacks that fit into plan. I’ve changed my goals to maintenance, so that gives me an extra 300 calories per day to play with.
3/31: - DNW, traveling - walked at least 6 miles to and from the museums plus the slow walking around the places themselves. Minimal eating during the day (a yogurt and a few chips and cheese). Just that little amount was 600 calories! Dinner out with friends was easy to calculate since the restaurant listed nutritional values on their website.
4/01: - DNW, traveling - did the walk to and from the museum again plus 5 hours of walking around the museum. Dinner was a bit of a budget buster with tapas again.
4/02: - DNW, traveling - ate too much last night
4/03: - DNW, traveling - 10 miles of walking and a few indulgences, but good dinner (ahi poke salad)
4/04: - DNW, traveling
4/05: - DNW, traveling

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 11,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; Strength training 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.
3/28: 183.2- Finished the day with 80 carbs, but I’m up today because I enjoyed an alcoholic beverage last night with dinner. I also fell short on steps, but I’m not worried about that. Eyes back on the prize today though! And that means no alcohol for the foreseeable future because that stuff always gets me.
3/29- 182.8 I was hoping for more, but this is fine. 68 net carbs, step goal hit, and for once I actually did some strength training again too! My goal this round is to get back into that habit because it had helped a lot when I was consistent with it. That, and lately I’ve really been noticing the muscles that my previous consistency had netted me. I don’t want to lose those hard earned muscles!
3/30- 182.6 Another small drop. 93 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. I’m going to attempt to go lower carb today than I’ve been lately. I definitely notice a difference on the scale when I go more toward the bottom half of the <100g goal than the top half.
3/31- 181.8 I’ll take that! 78g carbs- so much for that lower end of the <100g. Lol Step goal hit too. Now to make today count in a big way!
4/1- 180.0 Wow! More than I was hoping for! 68 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. So happy to see this number this morning!
4/2- 179.4 Yay! Finally! 77 net carbs and step goal hit. Went out to try on clothes last night and all the brands of jeans I tried on were size 8. They all fit too! I’m pretty much at my goal clothing size now, just the scale number to go!
4/3- 179.0 So happy with this. Last night was my weekly treat night, which typically lands me up a little on the scale. Finished the day with 100 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done.8 -

DH asked for a cake last week, so I baked a lemon poke cake Friday. Ate too much of it. Threw the remains away this morning. No self control! I also made my weekly soup—this week, Creamy White Chicken Chili. Lots of veggies. It’s yummy, and less than 300 calories a serving. Dinner again tonight, maybe lunch tomorrow. Works for me! And I just sent my entries for Rory’s first obedience trial in May — 5 weeks. I’d like to lose a bit by then in case we need a “new title” photo!
3/29 - 180.2
Calories were good, so whatever. I feel like I’m back on track.
3/30 - 180
Good day yesterday. Off for a walk in the park and then agility class. Fun!
3/31 - 179.8
Whoa, windy! March is going out like a lion. 🦁 I had some popcorn last night, but otherwise stuck to the plan. Rory & I had lots of fun at agility class, but he’s so fast! I’m definitely restarting my “wunning” program—walk/run intervals. Not that I’ll ever keep up with the pup, but it will help to be in better shape.
4/01 - 179.8
My April foolishness seems to be my macros—wayyyy to much fat. I’m not entirely sure how that’s happened, but I need to add veggies and proteins, and watch the fat. Also salt yesterday—got a taco salad for lunch, and I know it was salty. Today is plotted, and I’m planning lots of wawa. 😁
4/02 - 179.2
Oh, good, back where I started the round. Now to drop a smidge before the end. After my last agility class I decided I must start running intervals again—I have a very fast puppy and will never be able to run him in agility if I don’t get in better shape again! So I’ll start with walk 3 minutes, run 1, and see how many reps I can do. It’s been about 5 years since I ran regularly, but I ran several 5Ks, a 10k, and a half marathon in 2014-16. If I did it once, I can do it again! Enjoy your Saturday.
4/03 - 178.8
It’s Sunday soup day…this week I’m making beef barley with lots of veggies. It’s cold and wet out, so a hearty soup seems just right. Other than that I’m looking forward to a quiet day (after I run the pup!) with some painting 🎨, knitting 🧶, reading 📚, maybe a nap…. Enjoy your Sunday, friends!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/27 …..199.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/28 …..199.6 ….. (Trend weight 199.1) 3 meals instead of two but the snacks were better planned.
03/29 …..199.8 ….. Trend weight 199.2) So close to where I just don’t want to be again. So far from where I need to be. More changes needed.
03/30 …..199.6 ….. (Trend weight 199.2) I’m not doing well enough to make any big differences. I’ve got to watch the carbs way more than I am right now.
03/31 …..199.6 ….. (Trend weight 199.3) Kitchen remodel is in full swing. Ripping down ceiling today in kitchen, dining area and hallway. Blown in insulation is MESSY. I went out to dinner with a friend last night. Extra calories but lots of extra movement yesterday so I hope it evened out and doesn’t show up on the scale in the next day or two.
04/01 …..199.8 ….. (Trend weight 199.4)
04/02 …..198.6 ….. (Trend weight 199.6) A very small dinner, no snacks. Very tired last night. Got in more sleep than usual. A good TMI this morning. A lot of good contributing factors to a loss on the scale.
04/03 …..199.8 ….. (Trend weight 199.6) Lunch out with a friend yesterday. ½ for lunch and ½ for dinner. Bouncy-bounce.
04/04 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Previous days4/3 Didn’t weigh this morning. Woke up at 3:30 and was side awake thanks to the caffeine from yesterday. It worked out though because at 4ish I ended up just getting up and going to the gym. I got there around 5. I swam laps for about an hour for a nice active recovery and then sat in the sauna for a while relaxing and enjoying the quiet. Then I hit the grocery store around 7ish when it was nice and quiet still. My pre-workout snack was a Nature’s Bakery date based “brownie” (it was really good and only 100 calories, plus it kept the hunger away during my workout!). Breakfast was 2 scrambled eggs and a slice of American cheese, kashi cereal with puffed kamut added for some volume, and strawberries on the side. Not sure what lunch will be but dinner will be a mushroom, onion, chicken and coconut milk concoction over rice or pasta. It's been a solid weekend and I’m really happy about it. In a couple hours I’ll be heading to pick up our meat CSA, which I’m looking forward to because our freezer is a little sparse on the protein side right now.
3/28 121 I did an active recovery spin bike ride this morning for about 40 minutes. I just kept my heart rate in the warmup and easy zone for most of it. My sleep was a little weird last night and the past couple of days I’ve just felt kind of fuzzy/foggy. I’m looking forward to the weekend already because I bought our house (myself/husband and inlaws) a new grill to share that is giant! I’ll be able to fit all of my grilled veggies on it along with whatever protein I’m cooking that night. It’s has 34in by 18in of cooking surface and has 6 burners. So, Saturday my father in law and I will have a nice couple of hours bonding time while we put it together (my husband gets out of helping because him and I trying to put things together typically doesn’t end well haha!). I hope everyone has a good start to the week!
3/29 122 pre workout 121.2 post workout. Did 45 minutes on the spin bike this morning because my husband’s car is still in the shop. I’m looking forward to getting back to the gym tomorrow morning to do my strength routine. I’m a major creature of habit, so not being at the gym for two days in a row feels like forever because I had been going almost everyday for a while and at most I wouldn’t go for like a day.
Breakfast this morning was a ¼ of a pro meal bar before I jumped on the bike and then I had a bowl of high protein kashi cereal with almond milk and a protein shake on the side. Lunch will be a salad with blueberry goat cheese and crispy chickpeas with a balsamic fig dressing. Plus I’ll add some fresh kohlrabi on the side as another crunchy component. Then, dinner will be sesame noodles with ground pork and a bit of bok choy mixed with it. So, it’ll be a solid day food wise and according to MacroFactor, I’m pretty on point with my macros for today. I’m feeling a bit less fuzzy today as well, so that’s a relief.
3/30 123.2 I think it was. Totally normal blip up thanks to where I’m at in my cycle. Feeling good today and did my strength training at the gym this morning followed by intervals on the treadmill. Friday I’ll be moving into phase 3 of my strength program and looking forward to it! I’ve already noticed my body changing in certain areas and muscles popping from muscle pump during workouts, which is really exciting. So, I’m even more excited to see where I’m at 3 or 4 months from now. Food was good yesterday and it’s looking similar today. I’m not as hungry this morning so I’m waiting a bit before I eat the second part of my breakfast today (already drank my protein shake but now I’m waiting for my appetite to surface to eat some Grapenut cereal).
3/31 123.8 Ugh hormones and unexpectedly trying the new Korean fried chicken place nearby. Didn’t sleep well either, so I was tired for most of the day. Didn’t workout out because my knee was bothering me from falling at the gym yesterday. It’s feeling better now/there’s no pain after a day of rest and I’m hoping the swelling stays down so I can go to the gym in the morning. Now I’m about to get into bed but I didn’t want to forget to post. Have a good night!
4/1 123.6 Went to the gym and started the new phase in my strength program. It felt good and I’m looking forward to moving forward with it. Feeling a bit better today and my knee was fine during my workout, so that was a major relief. My appetite is weird this morning where I was starving for like a minute but then couldn’t figure out what I was actually hungry for/wanted to eat. I took that as a sign to just drink my protein shake and have my mushroom tea. Then, later this morning I’ll when I actually feel like it, I’ll eat something. I heard back from the hotel and unfortunately the bakery that was going to be making the cake for my husband is going to be closed when we’ll be up there… so I went with chocolate covered strawberries as a surprise instead. That’s a bit healthier too, so it works out I suppose.
4/2 124.something yikes. Not completely sure what its about but hopefully it drops soon. I did pretty well all day calorie wise but then ended up getting Coldstone after dinner. So, I ended up going over my plan. Yesterday’s mishap and the unexpected takeout last week has inspired me to meal plan again to help prevent some unexpected takeout from happening. Today my husband and I went to the gym this morning. I showed him how to use the squat rack and how not to injure himself while doing squats. We did some sets of squats together and then he continued on with his leg workout and I ran 4ish miles on the treadmill.
I’ve been on a roll with productivity today thanks to caffeinating myself which I don’t normally do. I got a bunch of errands done and cleaned up around the house by doing dishes/cleaning out the fridge/ doing laundry & putting it away. Now, I’m relaxing with the cat on the couch meal planning and reflecting on my food choices this week and thinking about what I want for myself in relation to my diet goals. This challenge is always good for me because it keeps me accountable and I really hate spilling here that I ate way too much. On that note, I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

3/28 / 169.6 / Got on my gravel bike for the first time yesterday and gave it a try. First time clipping in on the road... super exciting. My Peloton gave me lots of practice.
3/29 / 170.4 / Got a new 60 minute PR on the Peloton last night and I'm looking forward to another ride at lunch. We got a dusting of snow last night so I'm hoping if I wait for my walk until after work that it will be melted.
3/30 / 169.8 / Did a 75 minute long ride on the Peloton last night and got my new PR for that time as well. Leaving for Ontario after work today.
3/31 / DNW / Arrived in Toronto after an evening flight. Going to see my mother-in-law today for the first time in years. Excited!
4/1 / DNW / Pretty sedentary day yesterday after an extremely late wakeup after only 4-5 hours of sleep followed by a drive north of Toronto and supper with my in-laws. By the time we were done it was dark and the hotel gym was closed. Hoping to get a walk in today at least but the priority is definitely the family visiting while we're out here.
4/2 / DNW
4/3 / 169 / Still traveling but I had access to a friend's scale. Not sure it's super accurate but directionally it gives me an idea that I'm on the right path. Don't expect to have access to a scale again until next round.

3/29 208.4 That’s a nice surprise. Workout accomplished.
3/30 208.4 That works for me. I’m tired today after doing yard work yesterday afternoon. The muscles were tight but loosened up after I worked out and stretched.
3/31 209.6 Yikes! Ate out for lunch and had a big sandwich. I’m hoping this was mostly salt. Got the workout in this morning.

4/6As I plan this next 10 day weight goal, I’m looking back at the previous rounds and see that I have just yo-yoed up and down. Right now I am in the up range.
These last two years have been stressful for everyone with the changes and adjustments that COVID has brought. Our family has also had a lot of changes. In May 2020 my husband retired after 37 years at the same company and his last six weeks were working from home(COVID lockdown). In January 2021 we found a house in the next state over and moved on April 1,2021. In November husband was diagnosed with cancer and did radiation and this month he is continuing with monoclonal antibody infusions. Our oldest daughter has special needs and lives with us.
Everyone has their own list of stresses and concerns but we all need to learn how to manage them. Like many, I turn to food as I’m an emotional eater. It doesn’t really matter if it’s a good, bad, angry or happy day, food is there. You must have it to live but too much will eventually kill you. But, how do you find that balance? The balance between eating the right amount of good food, exercising and drinking water compared to too much, too little and not enough. It’s something that I struggle with each and every day.
Thanks for listening as I move to this next round and try to find the right balance.7 -

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

3/28 ~ 190.5 - 11,400 and 110. We went for a hike to a waterfall. They recently put in stairs and a platform there and a new parking lot, but that's only at the falls the rest of the hike has some steep hills.
My watch registered 44 flights of stairs. Either of us had been before but all of our kids have and it was so muddy and slippery an accomplishment for sure!! I love hiking. - Looking forward to seeing some 8's this round!! Cheers to round 182!!
3/29 ~ 190.4 - 15,100 and 106 min. Struggled through the Monday and dragged my *kitten* out for an evening walk to make and surpass my step goal. Dreaming of 8's.
3/30 ~ 190.6 -16,200 and 112 min. My lunch break walk was the only time the sun came out yesterday. Today looks like it'll be full of sun. Have a great day all!!
3/31 ~ 190.3 -18,000 and 131 min. Today is going to be a challenge I think I developed some kind of an allergy, my eyes are sore, red and dry. It's an eyeglass wearing day, never my favourite. Didn't get much sleep and I've just spilled coffee all over my white shirt. I've heard with allergies having a little local honey everyday can help. Will aim for 10,000 steps but might just go to bed and not take an evening walk. Hope everyone's day is better then mine!!
4/01 ~ 188.7 -10,600 and 71 mins. Allergy eye drops are helping but still another day of glasses. Love seeing these 8's!! SO is home for the weekend and I hope I can talk him into another good hike. Oh I saw a post yesterday with the heading ' IF NOTHING CHANGES.... NOTHING CHANGES!' and it's so true!
.... Welcome April!!
4/02 ~ 188 - 17,300 and 118 minutes. Walked home from work again. Watched a movie with SO last night and had a tiny amount of popcorn, honestly it wasn’t very tasty. We are kind of sluggish here this morning hopefully we can get a small hike in. Happy Saturday all.
4/03 ~ 188.4 - 17,000 and 113. Little hike to a small waterfall and nice stop for a sandwich and hot tea.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/28 / 169.6 / Got on my gravel bike for the first time yesterday and gave it a try. First time clipping in on the road... super exciting. My Peloton gave me lots of practice.
3/29 / 170.4 / Got a new 60 minute PR on the Peloton last night and I'm looking forward to another ride at lunch. We got a dusting of snow last night so I'm hoping if I wait for my walk until after work that it will be melted.
3/30 / 169.8 / Did a 75 minute long ride on the Peloton last night and got my new PR for that time as well. Leaving for Ontario after work today.
3/31 / DNW / Arrived in Toronto after an evening flight. Going to see my mother-in-law today for the first time in years. Excited!
4/1 / DNW / Pretty sedentary day yesterday after an extremely late wakeup after only 4-5 hours of sleep followed by a drive north of Toronto and supper with my in-laws. By the time we were done it was dark and the hotel gym was closed. Hoping to get a walk in today at least but the priority is definitely the family visiting while we're out here.
4/2 / DNW
4/3 / 169 / Still traveling but I had access to a friend's scale. Not sure it's super accurate but directionally it gives me an idea that I'm on the right path. Don't expect to have access to a scale again until next round.
4/4 / DNW / Busy day driving back down south to Niagara Falls, where we are until tomorrow. We crossed the border into New York to go to one of our favorite restaurants near Buffalo. Way more food than normal, but we did a good amount of walking afterwards.

Round 182 ( my 114th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
I've realised it is 7 weeks to DS wedding ! I need to sort myself out! I can talk the talk easy, but find it harder than ever now to walk the walk!! My resolve melts before I even consider; I need to think about everything that goes in my mouth, just 1 pound a week will do it for me, that is doable, I just need to do it! Like I say it's so easy to talk the talk, but the time for action is now. Aim this round is 1.5 pound loss, that would be nice, concentrate on good food choices & think before I put anything in my mouth!! Also eat only half daily exercise calories back.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.SW:

Day/Weight/Comment
3/28 138.8 -7.73 miles walked. Yesterday was Mother's Day here in the UK, met up with DD, DS & all our DGC, had a wonderful day, one of my gifts was half a dozen Mother's Day cupcakes, they looked amazing, to prevent me & DH eating them all, I shared them with all my family. Still meant I eat all my exercise calories plus 75, but did not then turn this into a binge, major or minor, which I will take as NSV, if I can do this once I can everytime.
3/29 138.6 – 6.34 miles walked. Whoops looks like I started my post yesterday, but didn't actually post it!! Oh well there are yesterdays & todays!! (Two for the price of one!!) No exercise calories eaten back yesterday.
3/30 137.8 - 10.73 miles walked, good food choices, less than 50% exercise calories eaten.
3/31 137.6 - 3.48 miles walked. It's disappointing going out to lunch when you pre choose a low calorie meal which when you get there is sold out, you quickly chose a substitute which you consider to be also on the lower end calorie wise to discover when you get home and log it is considerably higher !! Frustrating!! That made my calories 602 over (cringe!) Must have a substitute in the wings in future; never mind, today is a new day see if I can make it 602 calories in credit (fingers crossed).
4/1 137 - 10.31 miles walked, good choices & I did it !! Only 84 exercise calories eaten back and so I was 616 calories in credit, yeahhh!
4/2 136.6 - wow this seems too good to be true! But I am starting to feel better about myself. Was so hungry yesterday, just wanted to eat! But did keep within calories. 11.6 miles walked.
4/3. 135.6 - !! ? Are my scales playing up, this seems unbelievable, expecting an up tomorrow, but that's what it said!! 10.06 miles walked, 60% of exercise calories eaten.
4/4 136.6 - I feel this is a more realistic figure than yesterday, so I am happy with this. 10.19 miles walked, good food choices, half of exercise calories eaten back.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/28 170.8 Interesting way to start off! I'm either going to be bouncing up to 171 or [crosses fingers] down to 169 this round.
3/29 170.8 Fine with this!
**3/30 170.8 I don't know how it's even possible that I can weigh the exact same thing for days in a row down to the tenth of a pound, but here we are again! I'm a little paranoid about glitchy scale nonsense, so I always weigh first in clothes + an added weight (book) so the last reading isn't defaulting to the previous day's weight (since I read once that if the weight is super close from one day to the next, the scale may report an identical weight even if it should have registered a tenth of a pound or so lower). Then I weigh for real without clothes. Paranoid? Smart? Who knows! It makes me more confident that the reading is accurate. Frustrating, but accurate!
3/31 170.4 I tried my new and improved weigh-in method (thanks to @musicsax and @quiltingjaine for the suggestions!) and hey, I'm down 0.4 lbs! Broke my 3-day identical weight streak. Yesterday I did my first walk of this round. Feeling good about my chances of dipping into the 160s before this round is up!
4/1 170.2 Happy with this heading into the weekend. Tonight is pizza night and that's always an easy one for me because no matter where we get our pizza, I have one slice and savor a Coke, so I never feel deprived. The sodium sometimes makes me bounce up a bit the next day, but pizza nights are easy on portion control, at least.
4/2 170.0 This can't continue, but if I kept losing 0.2 lbs a day, I'd be comfortably in the 160s before the end of the round. We'll see!
4/3 170.0 Bo-ring. But at least it's not a gain.
