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.
4/5 136 -11.57 miles, good choices, less than a 1/4 of calories eaten back. Hope to retain this number for the last day of the round.
4/6 135.6 – 11.86 miles walked. A very good round for me; my best for many a long time; 3.6 pounds lost. Just shows me (as if I didn't know!) what being consistent does !! Hoping for another good next round, but I know it's all down to me & making good choices. A meal out on Friday, I've already looked at the menu and have 3 low calorie choices in mind. See you all next round.
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE
. Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!

I also have mini peppers and carrots as snacks, if needed. Breakfast is, again, an "egg mcmuffin" since I pre-made 4 of them. For some reason I'm craving oatmeal so I think I'll buy some this weekend. I'll see what fruits are available and reasonably priced to add on top for next week. Quite sleepy today as I was woken up mid-dream so I could shower. Much easier to shower in the morning rather than fight wet hair to fall asleep at night but boy do I wish I could've slept longer. Have my "energy" drink (herbal drink that actually does seem to give me enough of a boost) and cinnamon for my coffee (I finally remembered!) Despite the sleepiness, I'm going to do my best to make today good.
Previous Day's Comments3/28 - I got my water goal yesterday and I'm horribly bloated. Hopefully this weight is just a fluke from my upped water intake that hasn't cycled through the system yet. Between stress, lack of sleep, and wonky food schedule, I'm not surprised. Frozen personal pizza today (my other option was not eating at all) and not sure dinner tonight. I have steamable veggies on the grocery list so hopefully BF will get them for me to bring the rest of the week's lunches as a backup plan. Still applying out, minimum one application per day IF there's anything worthy of applying to. Now I'm starting to see duplicate listings so I'm giving myself grace if I can't find another posting other than what I've applied for.
3/29 - I'll take a drop. Chicken alfredo last night. Have some for lunch. Did have a glass of wine to unwind. Took me almost 2 hours to get home due to several accidents (I passed no fewer than 7 accidents on my drive home). Not sure tonight's dinner. Water was good and focusing on that again today. Not much else to report, not much else I can do with my day but work eat sleep, either.
3/30
3/31 - Under calories but only about 3-4 hours sleep so I'm quite happy it isn't up. Ended up having to stay late for a few meetings (which spawned more meetings) and didn't get home until almost an hour after my normal bedtime. Include eating dinner, prepping lunch for today (BF kindly set some aside for me at least, I just had to pack it up) and him having night terrors which woke me up frequently, I'm already done and ready for bed and it's not even 7am here. Hit water goal and managed 30 pushups and 30 squats yesterday (3 sets of 10 reps spaced out as I got sleepy/needed a break during the day). If I get any kind of energy, I'll aim for that again. If nothing else, it'll get blood flowing a bit and hopefully keep me from introducing my forehead to the keyboard. Beyond happy it's my Friday and I can sleep in, even just a little, tomorrow.

4/04 - Busy busy weekend. Got all my tax exemption forms for the new house. One question I'll have to go in Friday to ask about and can submit on the spot. Whew. Have a more balanced lunch today with veggies and all. Also decided to shift up my eating. No fasting as I've been getting super lightheaded, but I'll eat a solid breakfast, good lunch, and tiny dinner (so that I can still enjoy dinner with family without heavy dinner sitting when I go to bed right after). Also found out I got a market adjustment raise and it's not exactly tiny! It goes into effect Friday (Thursday for me as I get paid a day early through USAA). And raises will be starting sometime in summer so that'll only increase if I get one as well. I can handle staying at this job a little longer now that I'm getting paid fairly and it helps lower the impact of the gas prices/long commute. Also a lot of hard work in the yard yesterday cleaning out the old dead bushes so I can prep garden space and moving the fence to open the front of the house more. I'm super sore today, but in the best way possible. I needed a good "workout" (that's what it really was) after sitting so much for work and commute. Now if I can keep this up by finding ways to stay active at work
4/05 - I definitely expected it to be higher. Dinner was heavy steak and I ate more than I planned on dinner-wise. Was working on shifting more food earlier in the day and less at night. Glad it didn't immediately show up, though. Only got 5 hours sleep last night so today will be a little more of a struggle. Will have more room as my cubicle mate isn't here today so I will have space for some stretching and bodyweight moves to keep myself awake and add in movement. Breakfast is an "egg mcmuffin" (english muffin with jalapeno&habanero cheese, ham slice, and egg), lunch is leftover farfalle with the rest of the burrito mix (black beans and seasoned ground venison) with a side salad. I have enough salad left for 1 more lunch so I'll probably save that for when we have nachos (originally planned for tonight for BigBro, as its his favorite, but he's working really late so possibly tomorrow and leftovers for Thursday lunch?) I have plenty of carrots and mini peppers to supplement tomorrow's lunch, even if it includes veggies already. Water was shy about 8-10oz short of 90oz but I still ended up waking up a couple times for the bathroom (hence the shorter-than-normal sleep time). 8 hour days (get off at 3) are an adjustment for sure! I learned from yesterday so today I'll be better. Already have 30oz down the hatch this morning!

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
4/4- 181.5 👍

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.
4/4 – 134.4 Three laps again yesterday (roughly 5 miles) and busy busy day inside where I racked up plenty more miles. DD and family arrive later today. This next week will be interesting regarding trying to maintain a reasonable level of exercise and trying to keep calories in check. For starters, if I can hold onto the 134.4 until the 6th, I will be very pleased. We’ll see what I set as a goal for round 183 that will start with DD & fam staying with us and ending with MIL staying with us. Could be dicey.
4/5 – 133.6 Short walk yesterday following by a quick bike to the grocery store as DH has the car to pick up the kids. Family arrived, and amazing how much a 2+ year old changes in just a couple months. Survived the first celebratory last night and even had a nice surprise weight this morning. I even checked twice as I thought it must be a mistake. We’ll see how the round ends tomorrow. Have restaurant dining tonight…. But I have a plan!
4/6 –133.2 (for starters, typed yesterday’s weight wrong and have since fixed) Did the three laps yesterday with my DGS handed off to me in a stroller at the start of lap three. Plan held well for the day, and ate well at the restaurant. Ordering less also meant that I was able to be DGS’s entertainer. Loss for the round is 4.6. Way more than expected so I am anticipating the challenge of keeping that number through the next round. 9 -

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!

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.
4/4- 178.6 I’m pretty stoked. 65 net carbs and step goal hit. 175 by the 23rd seems pretty feasible now. Had a great day yesterday, and I’m determined to make today great too!
4/5- 179.2 I’m not surprised, as the monthly hormonal shift is imminent. 70 net carbs and step goal hit. I was also a little snacky yesterday, and slacked on protein. Today I’m making sure I get more protein! I’m confident I can stay right under 180 for the next week until the hormones shift back.
4/6- 179.6 Still under 180! I’m going to do what I can to stay here until the hormones move back out. 75 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done. Overall, a successful round!

3/28- 192.2 (+1.0) Still going up from my indulgence meal. A bit disappointing, but a good wakeup call. I need to tighten up my eating during the week, while still allowing myself one meal each week of whatever I want. This meal is an important part of my strategy and has really helped. So, just a reset. Orange Theory fitness this morning will give me a few extra calories to play with. And…drinking my water is going to make a big difference.
3/29- 192.2 (+1.0) Orange Theory was a good workout yesterday and I’m swimming today. It always seems when I hit a milestone, I bounce up and down and all around it until my body finally settles in. I hit 189 for a day last round. It will be back. My daffodils are coming up and I spent time cleaning out my small garden yesterday. I can’t wait to play outside more.
3/30- 190.0 (-1.2) Yay. At least my highs are lower than they were before. Now just to get below my low weight once again and then even lower. Swimming was good, yesterday.
3/31- 189.6 (-1.6) No organized exercise today. I’m doing final prep work for an art show this weekend. I’m co-chair for the show so it’s going to be a busy weekend.
4/1- 188.8 (-2.4) I went a bit overboard yesterday with the pistachios, so I’m surprised and happy to be down to a new low weight. Today is a busy day, setting up an art show and hosting the artist reception tonight. I’ll definitely get my steps in this weekend.
4/2-188.8 (-2.4) 13,000+ yesterday at the art show. It will be a busy day again. Hoping for lots of sales.
4/3- 189.6 (-1.6) Amazing day at the art show. Definitely not getting enough water.
4/4- 191.2 (0) It was a fabulous art show. I was so busy and grazing throughout the day. At the same time, I wasn’t getting enough water. I’m not bothered or surprised by the gain. It will drop off quick enough. Today I’m back on track and planning to get to the pool.
4/5- 190.6 (-.6) Yesterday I was back in the pool which was nice. Most of the people at the art show over the weekend hadn’t seen me for two and a half years and they were so excited for me on my weight loss. I actually wore a t-shirt tucked in the first day, which would have been unheard of in the past. Life has been really busy and I think I’ve gotten lax on tracking and exercise. A month from tomorrow, I’m leaving on a trip to Africa. I have a month to get comfortably into size 14’s. I’m still losing weight, but very slowly. Time to get serious once again.
4/6- 190.2 (-1.0) I’m ending this round down a pound, which isn’t as much as I’d hoped, but still down. 10 -

4/6-167-Still suffering the repercussions of all I ate on Monday. Got 5 miles in pushing a line trimmer and using a weed eater where I volunteer. Will go back there today for a few hours. Got the horse out and lunged him. I am leaning about how bad the carbs in grain and grass are for my overweight horse..... I told my friend, that he is as bad as a menopausalwoman! Really looking forward to a new round.7 -
Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
8th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.
Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
RSW: 244.4
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate
Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully
Day/Weight/Comment
3/28 244.4 A little bounce up this morning, not completely unexpected. Still feeling great about the Weekend Whoosh, which is not something I normally get! Huge work project launching today. So far it looks like everything is going well; fingers crossed that continues. Food is planned and logged, and I have my happy purple water tumbler right next to me. Have a great round, everyone!
3/29 243.2 I’m starting to see a pattern here. I’ll lose a pound or two relatively quickly, then bounce around for a while (just long enough to feel the frustration start, usually) and then start moving downwards again. I know weight loss isn’t linear, but seeing the pattern is helpful to keep me motivated. At any rate, food is planned and logged for today.
3/30 243.8 And it’s apparently bounce time. Meals for today are planned and logged.
3/31 244.2 I had a feeling this might happen. Was running late last night and had fast food for dinner. Just a kids’ meal, but the sodium is real. Ah well. Time for good choices and lots of water.
4/1 243.6 Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend.
4/2 243.6
4/3 DNW
4/4 244 Went out Saturday night with friends, had a couple of drinks, and ate all the things. It’s gonna take a couple of days to get the carbs and sodium out of my system. In the “before times” I would have let this completely derail me, and I could feel that thought creeping up on me yesterday. But I will not give in. I’ve come this far and I want to go farther, even though it’s hard. Meals are planned and logged for today and I’m headed to the gym after work.
4/5 243.4 Happy to see this number. Let’s see if I can hit a new low by the end of the week.
4/6 243.6 Hmmmm but okay. Gonna keep rolling.

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
4/06: 136.2 - Well, not as bad as I had feared it might be. For the most part, ate over calories (even with resetting my goals to maintenance and a lot of walking). A few days didn’t get any exercise at all. Ate late at night and ate a lot of carbs (sugar and starch) and fat. On to the next round!!!
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 0.6 pounds8 -
For the next 10 days I will get 10,000+ steps and 60 mins of activity.
Consume 1400-1500 calories.

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.
4/04 ~ 188.8 - 14,300 and 89 min. Was able to see the GDs, we don't get to see them often as the youngest has Type 1 diabetes, she was diagnosis at 9 months old and will be 2 in June. So because of covid they are pretty secluded. They are both so smart and sweet and we enjoy every second we can spend with them. Bouncing around the last few days but it's all normal and I will see a drop soon. Will read through the feed later today. Hope everyone had a fun and successful weekend!
4/05 ~ 188.8 - 15,700 and 103 min. Had a couple of NSVs on my walk I felt the urge to run a little, it felt so good and I would have ran more and longer BUT my workout pants kept creeping down. I'm sure that was a great sight seeing me yard up my pants every now and then. So now if I want to add some more running in I'm going to have to find some better pants!!
4/06 ~ 187.4 - 14,900 and 105 min. Feeling good, looking forward to the next round. Hope to see you all there!!

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 …..198.2 ….. (Trend weight 199.5) Really no change in behaviors here (though there should be more!) I’m not sure why I go up and down but here it is today. Lowest weight since Mar 14. I’ll take it, shake it and see what I can do with it.
04/05 …..198.8 ….. (Trend weight 199.4) My daughter brought donuts home last night which was a special treat from out of town. I just wish she had brought ONE. Today I am planning a big pot of soup for dinner and she is inviting her boyfriend to join us. I will keep portions under control and try to make up for yesterday a bit. Cooking is challenging right now. The stove is in the livingroom sitting on a cement board on the carpet. The kitchen is fully gutted down to studs so dishes are in my bedroom and anticipated food items we may need in the next month or two is upstairs on the landing. Pots & pans on the console style entertainment piece under the LR tv. The back & forth for every spoon or glass is giving me extra steps. It all adds up!
04/06 …..199.6 ….. (Trend weight 199.5) There’s the donuts. Lots of extra steps and calorie burn yesterday thank Goodness or it would have been worse. I’ll work hard today. See you next round folks!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Goal: No more than 60 g added sugar daily, 4 walks this round denoted by**
Highest weight: 178.8
R 182 Starting weight: 170.8
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.
4/4 170.2 From boring to annoying. I may not see the 160s this round after all, boo.
4/5 169.6 It's real, I'm in the 160s! Took me 6 weeks to lose 9 lbs, but it's happening. A steady 1.5 lbs per week and I'm still having (one) Coke and (a measured amount of) dark chocolate every single day, can't complain about that.
4/6 169.0 I got to keep the 160s for this round! Amazing.
