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.

8/15 - No hugs needed. Not quite enough water. Think BF and I ate something bad Saturday night as all day yesterday both of us complained of stomach cramps and pain. Dinner was carb-filled chicken alfredo with homemade cheesy bread sticks which didn't help anything but at least I got some food in the cranky stomach. My entire abdomen feels like rock hard abs but its ball-shaped haha At least today there's no cramping or pain so now I'm waiting for my body to recover from whatever it is causing the bloat. Definitely focusing on water today to help push along recovery. Woke up and got in a solid 20 minute hard rowing workout that left me dripping in sweat. I usually glisten or sparkle, but it was hard enough to make me actually drip sweat in my eyes. Not bad for a Monday morning coming from a girl who is NOT a morning person. Finished it off with a 15 minute flexibility Yoga With Adriene practice as I'm still dealing with a little stiffness and soreness in the hammies from last week's sprints. Not sure dinner and I didn't go grocery shopping this weekend so I'm low on fruits/veg. I have a few frozen items that can hold me over on lunches, though, and some leftover chopped bell pepper and strawberries. Will make a plan to stock up on frozen "emergency" fruits/veg next time I go to the store since our new freezer has proven itself to keep things very much frozen.
8/16 - Alright, here we go! Behaved well yesterday food-wise after all that hard work on the rower first thing. Glad to see this weight coming back down. Tummy is feeling back to normal after yesterday. Still a tad bloated, but no pain or discomfort from it. Unfortunately, my usual Monday morning sluggishness caught up to me and I slept straight through my alarm this morning! Didn't wake up until 2 minutes after I usually hop on the computer (other than any meetings, its flexible. Core hours are 9am-3pm and I choose how I want to make up the remainder of my 9hour work day. So not "late" per se, but late to my own self-set schedule). Obviously, no workout due to that. Will see how things go this evening and take the pup for a walk. I set an extra alarm tomorrow to be sure I don't miss another morning workout and I've even planned the workout already so there's no reason not to do it! Lunch is planned out and unsure dinner but it's TacoTuesday in the house so I'm sure it'll be some type of Mexican-inspired fare. At least it's homemade and I can generally account for everything in the food log.
8/17 - Not bad for having enchiladas! I definitely expected to be up more from that. Maybe that 30 minute walk (1.75mi up and down hills) with the pup offset more than I thought. I've read somewhere that walking after a meal helps kickstart digestion. Anyone have any insight on that? My mind was so paranoid about sleeping through another alarm, apparently, that I woke up several times between 2:44am and my actual alarm. Feeling a bit sluggish, but I'm up on time. Drinking my electrolyte water and typing this to give myself a few minutes to wake up before hitting the rower for my pre-planned workout. BF wants to make chicken fajitas tonight so I need to run to the store during my lunch break which will also give me a chance to stock up on some healthier lunch items and snacks to get me through. At least fajitas have some colorful veg and aren't as break-the-(calorie)-bank as enchiladas. Plus there's nothing like the extra NEAT from a big grocery haul (walking a giant store, pushing an awkward heavy cart (which are made for people over 6ft, I swear, the handle is almost up to my shoulders and I'm 5'5!), loading into the car and lugging the heavy bags in the house after). Alright, off to punish myself on this rower (ahaha just kidding, I'm treating myself. It seems like punishment right now but after I'll be happy I did it and feel so much better) EDIT TO ADD: I'm happier now. 10 minute easy row followed by a 5 minute moderate/hard interval done twice. Now to stretching!
8/18 - I'm very happy and a little surprised at this! I went to bed with a lot of bloat, my stomach was super hard and sticking out quite a bit. I was really discouraged at bedtime noticing that as I did my wind down (I take note of my body and relax from toes up to face one by one). Today it's less hard and more the usual squishy and the scale shows my body did some bloat reduction during sleep. I did hit snooze but I think that was more because I woke up from a dream and needed a few extra minutes to get myself moving rather than pop straight out of bed. Also I didn't have a workout planned and motivation is always super low in the mornings. So I know what I need now: have a workout plan or at least idea for the morning BEFORE I go to bed. Did a 20 minute rowing session including warm up and cool down followed by a digestion-focused yoga with Adriene for 10 minutes. Then a quick 5 min walk with the pup that got cut from the planned 10-15 minutes due to cows with their babies nearby (don't need them feeling threatened). Last night we switched around to grilled chicken leg quarters, grilled red potatoes, and green beans. Fam reached out because godkids want to see us and said fajitas tonight. We'll push our fajita plans to next week. Today I have leftover broccoli in cheese sauce (the frozen steam kind), some potatoes, and a leg quarter for lunch. I'll pre-log my fajitas to keep portions in line and base my portion for lunch off that to keep calories in line. Exercise is becoming consistent during the work week so now I need to start focusing on healthier food options and reigning in my portions a bit more to get this weight (fat) a-moving on out of here!
8/19 - A drop is still a drop. Last night involved 2 glasses of wine instead of the usual 1. I did hold myself to the portions I set out at the beginning of the day, though! Some adjustment had to be made because I didn't end up eating lunch at home before we left and ended up having to grab something at the bar/grill to hold me over instead, plus accounting for the wines. Before I put a single bite in my pie-hole, I logged it, though! Today's lunch will likely be yesterday's planned lunch. Unsure dinner at this point. Trying to come up with a workout idea right now for this morning as I'm dragging more than normal. I'm up, though, so I might as well get SOMETHING in movement wise, even if it's not the sweat-inducing intense kind. EDIT: I did a 20 minute easy "recovery" row. Stroke rate 18, steady pace, didn't try to over do it, just went through motions and still felt muscles working. Did get warm, but not sweaty. I'll take that. Work starts in 5 minutes so will find 10 minutes of other movement through the day (won't be hard to manage that)

8/5: 172.4 not a bad place to start the challenge

8/6: 171.8 weight is "pre" everything. i usually weigh in after i've had coffee and water. haven't had coffee or water yet this morning, so i'm figuring i'm at least a solid 172 lbs.

8/7: 172.4

8/8: 171.8

8/9: 171.4 i am actually getting excited to see the 160's. maybe by round 197??? what an accomplishment that would be!

8/10: 171.8 had 1/2 a blueberry muffin from sams club yesterday. had the other 1/2 this morning. i knew i shouldn't have, but who can just leave a muffin top just sitting there!

8/11: 171.4 that muffin sent me on a carbohydrate binge. exceeded calories and days was primarily carbs and fat, very little protein. my indiscretions always takes a few days before they surface. wish it was cooler, i might have been able to walk a little bit of that off. this summer has been miserably hot. diet diligence for the rest of the challenge!

8/12: 170.2 the loss has confused me. after the carb. binge, i have mostly been eating fruits and vegetables. i did also have chicken wings, which i think i mis-calculated nutrition on (on the higher side) so i probably had way less calories than is healthy.

8/13: 172.6 and there is it.... my carbohydrate binge taking its vengeance on me.

8/14: 171.8
