Really good exercise with a morning workout with friends. We consider laughing the best abs! Evening was boxing, I’m making progress and I love it.
I still have piles of paperwork, I run the local farmers market and the paperwork is just a pain in the you know what. No volunteer goes unpunished in this world but I believe strongly in community involvement. Lol plus my steps on market days are through the roof!!!8 -

***************************************
3/1 151.4 (trend 153.5)
3/2 151.6 (trend 153.3)
3/3 150.8 (trend 152.9) A good start to the round, it's funny, the last few rounds have started with an overnight whoosh. It makes it tricky to decide on a goal weight but I'll be optimistic and aim for 1 pound. Met all my activity targets yesterday, even if it did mean doing laps of the house for half an hour at 10.30pm to get the last 3000 steps in! I didn't sleep very well, according to my tracker, I woke many times and only got 45 mins of deep sleep. I woke at 4am starving hungry and so got up to have some cereal, but remembered to weigh myself first. I think I've been over training a bit, or under eating, or both, so I've decided to treat myself to a lazy day and not try to restrict my calories too much so I recover a bit.
The gods must have been listening because the family get-together that this introvert really wasn't looking forward to has been cancelled, so no boring clothes shopping for me and I can have a really active day tomorrow instead of a 3hr car ride to make awkward small talk and sleeping on an air bed, phew!
Don't want to jinx it, but I might actually make it into the 140s this round!
3/4 150.6 (trend 152.6) Feeling rough today after a few too many whiskey and cokes last night so my plans for an active healthy day today are out of the window. Why did I do that? So not worth it. Gonna have another quiet day and start afresh tomorrow.
3/5 153.0 (trend 152.7) Really didn't want to post this today, yikes! This is the result of alcohol on Friday night and then we got an Indian take away last night. I had a chicken tikka starter and some poppadoms with chutneys, not a lot, so I'm hoping this is just water retention from dehydration and extra sodium. No exercise for 2 days has had a big impact on my mood. I did manage 2 minutes of planking but totally forgot to do the 3rd minute. I'm really looking forward to getting back to the gym today and seeing what progress I have made on my lifts.
3/6 152.4 (trend 152.6) I had a pretty much perfect day yesterday, in terms of my targets. (Macros, calories, steps, weight training, water, planking, supplements, all on point), so I just have to hold my nerve that this gain is just temporary water weight. My urge to over restrict and over train is strong, but it would be counter productive as I would burn out within days and my metabolism would drop right down.
3/7 151.6 (trend 152.5) Slowly coming back down, I miss the '150.something' that I had at the start of this round! A good day yesterday, with all my health targets met again, but not great sleep. I have done my gym for the day today but still have 5500 steps to do and my planking. I have a bad case of the CBAs and need a boot up the bum.
3/8 151.8 (trend 152.4) Well, I got over the tiredness and finished my exercises. I met all my targets again yesterday, except my macros were slightly off. I have muscle soreness in my glutes and hamstrings, this could be the reason for the gain. I woke up starving at 5am again but have resisted so far.
I won't get much activity today as I'm helping my mum with some car issues, which means lots of driving. It's snowing lightly here today, first snow since early December, all the spring bulbs in the garden are looking very pretty poking out of the dustingof snow. I put out some food for the hungry pigeons. Last year I hand raised a baby pigeon that my cat brought in, so I feel like 'mother of pigeons' now.
We have booked a week in Portugal from 23rd March, time I started up my language lessons again, they've fallen by the wayside since I've been exercising more. There's an outdoor pool by the complex that I've not had the courage to use yet. I absolutely love swimming but look horrific in a swimsuit so very rarely swim and when I do it's in shorts and a t shirt, in rivers and sea. Being able to wear a swimsuit and use the local pool without feeling mortified is one of my main motivators.
3/9 151.2 (trend 152.2) I enjoyed a rest and recuperate day yesterday, calories within target but with higher carbs. Slept really well and am feeling ready to get back on it. Still not back to my round starting weight but I'm not too worried about it today, so long as my trend weight doesn't go up.

PW Round 215 220.0 lbs
SW Round 216 (2nd) 217.6 lbs
3/3 218 (+.04) Managed my steps and I did eat but not enough yesterday. Today is the beginning of 3x rebounder sessions consistently. I feel sluggish and Foggy. I have to visit grocery store and tobacco shop (a vice I have yet to conquer). It's weekend with my stepson. Not a healthy food day (popcorn chicken and a snickers bar) but in range. 10 days. We can do this!
3/4 217.8 (+.2) Morning rebounder completed. Migraine is all but gone so energy level is increasing. Got my steps but without much vigor yesterday so hoping for more oomph today. Morning walk around the park and ended Saturday errands with a mini Sam's Club run and hubby's haircut. Two more rebounder sessions and better eating today. I am on a coleslaw kick with lazy homemade dressing.
3/5 217.4 (-.2) Can't be sure but either a monthly bloat or the arrival of Florida humidity has shape shifted me into a balloon animal. Either way I will increase my water intake and trudge along. 3x rebounder was even a struggle bit got it and my steps done. I am easily going over 9000 daily so after my travels I am going to increase. Another too low calorie day. Come on lady! Get it together!
3/6 217.8 (+.2) I like Mondays. New week new opportunities and new quests. I thrive on routine and weekends are fun but chaotic. I am not a meal prepper (I probably should be) but heading into 2 weeks of travel means eating out and less control. So I have packed my lunches. It's a start. 2x rebounder. Calories met but macros askew.
3/7 218 (+.4) Horrible sleep. Morning migraine. PMS bloating. Joint pain. I think it's time to restart iron pills. This day will be a struggle. This is last day of 3x rebounder due to travel. Not feeling it at all but know I will miss it so pushing through 2x. Carb cravings took over so pasta had. Got enough water. Got over 1000 calories. Couch cuddles tonight as husband doesn't join my travels till next Wednesday.
Today I enjoyed the message board banter. Made me giggle. Thanks everyone for that. Also for being so inspiring!
3/8 218.0 (+.4) TRAVELING. He arrives today! My son is flying in from Canada for 2 weeks of sports and snuggles (he is unaware of snuggle agenda!) Therefore no weigh ins but I will aim for steps and healthy-ish eating between baseball and basketball games. Got in morning rebounder session. Barely made my steps yesterday but I did do it. When I began building up stamina I walked up and down my hallway. Last night I returned to this to meet my goal.
3/9 DNW TRAVELING. I had publix sub for dinner at my MILs last night. I still feel it like a lump of clay in my belly. Not sure about eating choices today but hope to make good choices. Got my steps in walking the airport. Blessed to hold my child again! Today we travel from Orlando to Dunedin to watch the Toronto Blue Jays spring training for 5 games. Painted my nails blue fir the occasion lol. Also a day at Clearwater Beach. Here's to an extended 7th inning stretch!

3/8 125.6 Right direction! My arms around the biceps are both down .5 inch and my lower belly is down .5 inch. I've never before done so much glute focused exercise consistently. 3 days a week, from February 1 to today, the difference is noticable! I feel tighter, and I've been standing with better posture. This challenge is the only reason I've been able to stay consistent. I thought I had terminal pancake butt after losing so much weight and my butt flattened and vanished. It's not a pancake anymore!

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 216
Round 216
March 3 - 12, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for 216. Have no idea! I guess to keep making progress, and maybe finally sort out and organize those supplements I should be taking. Thinking about it, I guess I could add trying to lose 3 more lb by March 25, when my DD, SIL, and DGS a joining us in the keys. Am likely facing swimsuit time, and losing 3 (or 4) would put me back at a similar weight to last April when they came for a week.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/3 – 137.8 Today is going to be challenging. For starts, something happened to my toe last night when I went outside barefoot. Hurts to walk, so I took the morning off with the hopes that it will just resolve. I am not finding anything “in” my foot and examining, it seems to have to do with the nail bed. Then, on top of not exercising today, we are going out to eat (already tracked a tuna poke bowl), and then this evening we are going to the movies and I am planning in for movie popcorn, which I have not had in ages. If I watch myself, all this will work based on calories, despite the lack of exercise. BUT, I will not be shocked if I have a sodium blip tomorrow morning.
3/4 – 137.0 Pleasant surprise. Yesterday did not go as planned, but I adjusted along the way as things changed. At the out-to-eat, there was a gorgeous basket of old bay spiced string fries on the table. I ate half the basket. But I did that with a clear decision that I was trading that for the movie theater popcorn in the evening. Totally worth it!! The poke bowl contents also seemed lighter than the pre-tracked standard bowl, so I re-entered that meal by components, and yes, the bowl came in lower. That difference got me a Yasso bar later in the day, and got that craving out of the way. My numbers all appeared good, but I still prepared myself for the no-walk-estimated-tracking-lots-of-salt uptick. I’ve already pre-tracked today, and the thing that became clear is that I need to go grocery shopping. I am missing some dietary components (like fruit).
3/5 – 136.8 Did walk 5 miles yesterday, despite my foot not yet being right. And had a long day of cleaning up from having new windows installed last week and the home is a mess (plaster and cement dust everywhere). Ate on point. Happy with the loss but want to make sure my behavior is maintainable. I tend to over or under eat.
3/6 – 138.0 Heavy dose Advil will do this, so not surprised. Yesterday, did a typical 5 mile walk with friends (so pace is very reasonable). All was good, and then, without cause, my back started killing me. There is left thigh involvement too, so I know it is that bulging disk issue I have had from time to time. But there was literally no trigger (which I have also had before). Going to shift to Aleve today, as overnight I purposely am beyond the over 8 hr dosage for the Advil. Trying to decide whether to walk this morning or not. I can wait 30 minutes or so to decide.
3/7 – 137.2 So I did go out for my walk yesterday. Joined the girls for 5 miles. I wanted the calorie burn to help offset my going out to dinner and having a cocktail before. Today, I gave myself a gift of a relaxing morning and day. Do have a dinner guest this evening. The same windower we entertained a week or so ago. But I’ve planned and tracked my whole meal, and even the whole day.
3/8 – 136.4 I enjoyed having a slower lazy morning. Pre-tracked my day and held to it. Since no exercise, I aimed to stay under by goal daily calories. Seemed to work out.
Today will be Taco Wednesday! Going to be trying out the La Banderita Carb Counter snack tortilla’s new flavor of Queso and Jalapeno. I use their “plain” carbcounter all the time. I love them. I’ve also recently discovered that Olé is competing now in the arena of low carb tortillas.
3/9 – 136.0 Enjoyed my tacos. I did under eat for the day. Not intentionally, I just ran out of things I was willing to eat, or was willing to take my Invisalign out to eat. All good. Scale is happy. Have pre-tracked today, as well as tomorrow and part of Saturday. Not planning on “eating under” multiple days. Tortilla report – Not sure there was a taste difference with the new flavor Queso and Jalapeno and they also seemed thinker to me (could be wrong), which I would not prefer. Will be trying the Olé next time I make tacos.

3/09 - 159.6 - Whew, what a journey. I'm guessing between the vitamin madness bloat finally falling off (right about the same number of days BF started feeling better after stopping) and the super low calorie day my body finally released everything. I had a BEAUTIFUL homemade salad for lunch that shockingly got me all the way to dinner! From 11am until about 6pm. Never been able to do that with a salad before, I always get hungry. Dinner was steak with asparagus and potatoes, all grilled. With BF running and such now, he's eating a little healthier and I'm not mad about it. I ran my first C25K day. It's actually a free app called "Just Run: Zero to 5K" that just tells me when to run and walk, warm up and cool down included. I'm going to let BF know since I tested it out yesterday. Today is body weight (going to try to include kettlebell again) and cardio sprints on the rowing machine. I just finished coffee so about to get to that.

Previous Day's Comments3/03 - I was right, body was playing tricks and didn't want to show 150s last round. Hectic day. BigBro's birthday dinner (stromboli) and "cake" (chocolate zucchini bread and he opted for Andes mint melted chocolate glaze vs the lemon glaze from last year). Then BF found 3 beautiful "family" vehicles (3 row seating) at our local dealership on the used lot. He ended up getting approved and bought one (his credit was wrecked from his ex wife so I've been helping him and teaching him how to rebuild it slowly so this is a HUGE deal to get approved 100% by himself). Another nasty storm blew through right before dinner. Luckily the worst of it (hail and super high winds) just barely missed us. No walk with pups as we still had rain and horrible (40-60mph gusts) wind. Hoping better for today. Will need to go into town after work so hoping dinner is early enough to walk the pups after. About to knock out today's workout. I almost skipped it and slept in as my alarm woke me mid-dream. I didn't have the patience to set a midpoint alarm between my normal and my "you're late for work" alarm but I ended up waking up fully between my snoozed alarm and my bladder haha! I'm excited to sleep in tomorrow, though.
3/04 - Bouncy bouncy. Lots of sodium, lots of movement. I was over calories (exercise included) by 92 on MFP and 132 on Fitbit. Stressful day as it was BF's mom's birthday and she passed Oct '21. We went out for Guinness on tap for her birthday (her fave) after I got back from the vet. And that vet visit was unexpected to get my poor Smoke's face cut open to remove an abscess that kept getting infected and causing his eye to squint from swelling. Then dinner at Fam's. Big breakfast this morning in hopes of holding off eating until dinner time, which I'm unsure of plans at this point. Their septic system is all messed up so they're working on that today and we're headed to help here shortly. Hopefully lots of movement on my end to make up for some things.
3/05 - I'm so bloated and I'm in an absolute mood today. I don't like people. It's FamWife's birthday celebration (tomorrow is actual bday) so I have to people and I'm just not okay with all this mentally. But I'll be a good sport because it is her birthday and I will not be the one to ruin it
3/06 - So I've been taking these multivitamins. BF was taking them and he said they didn't sit well with him. Whatever, I've taken these before with no issue. Nope. All this weekend I've been dealing with stomach issues. Brushed it off thinking it'll be fine. Nope, we discussed and went through all the possible causes of the stomach pain. It's identical, by description, to BF's. I'm bloated and uncomfortable. I feel hungover with no alcohol. I go through bouts of nausea. It's just no comfortable. I'm stopping them as of today. I'm so bloated and uncomfortable today that didn't weigh as I feel it will be such a false weight. I'll play it day-by-day but may be taking several days off to allow the vitamins to be flushed from my system and me to start feeling better. I'm about to knock out my bodyweight workout. I'm foregoing the kettlebell to dial it down to a doable level so I don't overdo myself. I feel nauseous but I know I'm not actually sick, it's just the vitamin so I'll push through at a less intense level. I'll probably feel better in every other way after the workout so it's best I just do it haha. Entire weekend of posts to catch up on after (:
3/07 - I still feel bloated but significantly better than yesterday so I decided to take a chance on the scale. I am rather impressed. I feel much heavier than this. I'd still rather not see 160s on the scale, but at least I'm not seeing 164-165 like I anticipated. Just finished the coffee so it'll have settled by the time I post this and then I'll get my cardio sprints done on the spin bike today. BF took Harley for a walk/run yesterday morning and said last night he'd do it again. Wowza. My habits rubbing off or he just tired of feeling awful? I'm happy either way (until he loses all the weight and that little belly of his in like 2 days while I'm over here struggling). Dinner was late so we finished eating/cleaning after sunset but it was bright enough to sneak in a 0.75mi walk with both pups last night. Chonky girl Harley getting 2 workouts now, too! We're still taking it easy with Smoke as he needs to put on weight while he grows and he's still learning. Tonight should be better in that I can get a full mile or more with them without fear of it getting dark too quick. Attempting homemade taco pizza tonight. I just love making pizza crust and Taco Tuesday was the perfect excuse.
3/08 - I'm so bloated. I blame taco pizza hahah It wasn't as good as I had back home but it'll do. Turns out BF had never heard of it before and thought I was insane. He was shocked by how good it tasted. Guess its a regional thing? He's lived all over but never in Michigan/Indiana area. Is it anywhere else? I never heard of it in New York, Kansas, Oklahoma, or Texas while living in those places which is why I had to make it myself. I need to get my butt back in gear nutrition-wise and stop eating at maintenance which I've been doing. I have spinach, bell peppers, cucumber, and baby carrots to eat up (salad much?). Grilled chicken I can heat up and plenty of black and garbanzo beans to use. No clue dinner so making lunch light. Its active rest day so while BF takes Harley out, I'm about to walk Smoke before I start work here at 7 (20minutes ish). BF says (and told Fam) Mon-Wed-Fri is 1 mile walk/run until he can work up to running a full mile at 8mins before upping the mileage. Tues-Thurs-Sat is a 1 mile walk to recover but still get his muscles used to moving. I'm proud of him! I'll still try for an evening walk with both pups tonight despite my walk this morning.

Robyn here in SE Virginia. My goals this round are: 1) to continue planning/logging meals; and 2) NOT to reward my last round's success with extra food intake (this is what I normally do). I lost 4.6 pounds last round (yay!). My plan again is to hold off on weighing until the end of this round.

3/9: DNW - Our friends from Pittsburgh arrived yesterday afternoon (hooray!). We went out to eat last night at a great restaurant. I made good choices until back at home and then fell into old habits when DH fell asleep on the sofa. If I keep this up I'm going to do what I always do, which is to lose my progress from the last round. Our friends will be here for the rest of this round. I need to do a better job. I didn't track my food last night. That's part of the problem. Why do I think it's okay to eat more when not tracking, when I KNOW that I'm going over calorie budget?!? It starts with a handful this, then a handful of that, and then another handful (or two) of this and that! Ugh! Okay, now MY pity party is done.
I WILL do better for the rest of this round. I took time off from work today and tomorrow. Going to have some more fun!

03/08 -190.6- (Trend weight 192.7) Tonight is the school concert for two of my grandsons. The kindergartner and the younger high schooler (of the two). It is the next town over where my own children went to school and graduated (before I moved). Normally, for my son and I, I would make it an evening out and go to dinner first while we are all dressed up in our Sunday best. However, I’m feeling strong in my diet resolve right now (such a blessing when that happens!), so I pre-cooked a nice dinner yesterday and promptly refrigerated it. Tonight I will pull it out, heat it up and call it done. Sticking to my guns when I can and while I can!
03/09 -192.2- (Trend weight 192.6) I’m disappointed because I did not eat back my calories and they were 69 under for the day. However, my carbs were over by a good amount. This could also be related to the fact that my TMI is not going well. I did end up going out to dinner after the concert last night. It was a new place in a nearby town that I had never been to, I just couldn’t resist, and I really wanted to take my son. I’m glad that I stayed under calorie and I REALLY REALLY watched my portions, but the carbs really bit me in the butt. Travel day today and I certainly don’t want to compound it. I’m pre-logging when I’m done here and making a plan. I know dinner will be that precooked food I put in the fridge. Gotta watch my lunch while out of town!

I’m pretty disgusted with myself, which I know doesn’t help, but there it is. I had one great, no-snacking round in Jan and then completely lost the thread. I’m restarting journaling today—I think it helps—and will really try not to “night nosh.” I went for a long meandering “sniff walk” with the puppy yesterday, including his first walk in the woods. That was a lovely hour or so. Not the faster walking I need to get back to, but peaceful, and great for his mental and emotional development. Maybe mine, too! It’s really cold and windy this morning with freezing rain on its way, so I’m going to bundle up and go for a walk right now. Might improve my attitude. I have a little job to do that’I’ve been putting off for two months, and I realized last night that not doing it is freezing me up from doing other things, if that makes sense. So I’m starting it today, hoping to finish over the weekend. I’ve been reading and rereading all your inspiring posts about success on this journey to rev myself up. Thank you for those!

Went a bit off the rails yesterday, despite my plans. DH wanted KFC, so we had that for late lunch/early dinner. I removed the skin, so not too bad, but I was feeling really down about some things and really wanted cake, so I baked one and ate some. My calories still weren’t over goal, but so much fat and sugar! Then for some stupid reason this morning I had granola and almond milk for breakfast and now I feel yucky. Again, too much sugar, not enough protein (though I did add collagen powder, but it’s not the same as eggs). I’ve got to get back on track. Maybe salad for lunch, leftover skinless chicken for dinner. And better choices! I’m taking slices of cake to my neighbors! Happy Sunday!

I’m starting to feel like I’m trapped in Groundhog Day! Yesterday was good, and I had lots of fun with puppy Booker. It was his 4-month birthday, and we celebrated by taking a long sniff walk, and then taking the tests for his AKC Novice Tricks Dog, Virtual Home Manners—Puppy, and Virtual Home Manner—Adult (they have to be 4 months to take the first and last of those). He passed them all with flying colors. Good boy. He started doggy school this week—obedience fundamentals and scent work—and is by far the youngest dog in his classes. He did great. I’m having lots of fun with this guy — and he keeps me moving! Here’s his photo yesterday. ❤️

My 10 day friends....Let's DO this!!! I'm so glad I decided to search out this challenge again....My morning read to follow everyone's progress is inspiring and motivating. It keeps me on track everyday!!
25 days until we leave for Mexico...that's two and a half 10 day rounds, my goal is to get to 170...or under by then.

Day, Weight, Comment
3/03 - 174.6 - nice little drop showed up this morning. We have reservations for another Localiscous restaurant tonight (3 course prix fixe menu) so aiming to eat light through the day and get in a good hike this morning with the doggo...the sun is shining, should be a good one!
3/04 - 175.2 - Later than usual dinner out last night....and wine....Ate super light calorie wise to save up for the splurge, it was worth it! Got in a hike yesterday....today that's not going to happen, like I've been reading from lots of you we got hit with the snow as well. Sounds like other areas in our province got it worse but we got a good 8" overnight. I'll be shoveling our steps and some neighbours while hubby blows out the driveways for exercise this morning...maybe a walk this afternoon once the sidewalks are cleared before we head up to the rec centre to watch my niece swim and then DS(15) has his last hockey game of the year playing for the league championship, conveniently the swim meet is at the same place as hockey...that NEVER happens LOL.
3/05 - 175.2 - Stuck here again...I think I sat here for a few days in a row end of last round, it must be a comfortable spot. Did not drink enough water yesterday. There was just so much going on with swimming and hockey (They won! Awesome game, fantastic group of kids). My sister and niece spent the night, was nice to have some time with them. I'll be at the pool again today to watch swimming, very different weekend routine so we'll see how I do with activity and food.
3/06 - 175.8 - result of a weekend out of routine and poor choices....it's Monday...fresh start! Trying to talk myself into a long walk today but I need to be back for a call later this morning...so need to leave now but I haven't finished my coffee.
3/07 -176.4 - yeah...food was great yesterday but happy hour wasn't...and I didn't get much activity in. Definitely heading to the woods today. We have my parent's dog for the week so I'm going to see how it goes with both of them. He's not very well trained and will likely pull my arm out of it's socket.
3/08 - 176.4 - Retaining something....I've been really great at planning and tracking my food calories but I've been losing the plot with a couple of drinks every day the last week, need to get that under control. Extra dog was pretty good in the woods yesterday, he's a bit pokey though, my Mackster and I are quick hikers. Today we're going over to a friends property for a snowshoe hike, not sure what muscles are going to feel it tomorrow, it's just ever so slightly different than regular walking.
3/09 - 175.2 - back here again...but at least it's heading down. Awesome hike yesterday, lots of hills. Will probably take it easy on the dogs today as they both crashed hard (our guy is in awesome shape for a large 10 year old dog and will walk all day in the woods if you take him but you can tell the day after a harder hike, especially in the snow, that he's not a pup anymore....mom and dad's dog is just used to walking with my 80 year old dad and only laps around the flat park trail). Hoping I'll have time to hop on the elliptical later today to add on some activity.

@CamandJarvis I have had taco pizza at several places in the past. Godfather's Pizza and Casey's to name a couple. It is not a pizza I usually choose, but I am never sorry when I do.2

I’m restarting journaling today—I think it helps—and will really try not to “night nosh.” I went for a long meandering “sniff walk” with the puppy yesterday, including his first walk in the woods. That was a lovely hour or so. Not the faster walking I need to get back to, but peaceful, and great for his mental and emotional development. Maybe mine, too! It’s really cold and windy this morning with freezing rain on its way, so I’m going to bundle up and go for a walk right now. Might improve my attitude. I have a little job to do that’I’ve been putting off for two months, and I realized last night that not doing it is freezing me up from doing other things, if that makes sense. So I’m starting it today, hoping to finish over the weekend. I’ve been reading and rereading all your inspiring posts about success on this journey to rev myself up. Thank you for those!

Good Friday. I’m planning a good Saturday, too. And for all of you!
3/05 - 179.6 🥕 🧊
Went a bit off the rails yesterday, despite my plans. DH wanted KFC, so we had that for late lunch/early dinner. I removed the skin, so not too bad, but I was feeling really down about some things and really wanted cake, so I baked one and ate some. My calories still weren’t over goal, but so much fat and sugar! Then for some stupid reason this morning I had granola and almond milk for breakfast and now I feel yucky. Again, too much sugar, not enough protein (though I did add collagen powder, but it’s not the same as eggs). I’ve got to get back on track. Maybe salad for lunch, leftover skinless chicken for dinner. And better choices! I’m taking slices of cake to my neighbors! Happy Sunday!

Ok, yesterday was more under control. Trying for a repeat.

I behaved myself yesterday. 🙂

Again? That’s ok, better than going up.

I’m starting to feel like I’m trapped in Groundhog Day! Yesterday was good, and I had lots of fun with puppy Booker. It was his 4-month birthday, and we celebrated by taking a long sniff walk, and then taking the tests for his AKC Novice Tricks Dog, Virtual Home Manners—Puppy, and Virtual Home Manner—Adult (they have to be 4 months to take the first and last of those). He passed them all with flying colors. Good boy. He started doggy school this week—obedience fundamentals and scent work—and is by far the youngest dog in his classes. He did great. I’m having lots of fun with this guy — and he keeps me moving! Here’s his photo yesterday. ❤️

Round 216 Posts
This is my posting format….
Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.

3/3: 220.6
/logged all; lots of slow walking/ Ok, so my walking was at Bass Pro Shops. It was actually more brain exercise than anything.
Today is a day of eating out. Lunch with a friend at Cracker Barrel; Supper with a few “alumni” from a firm I used to work for 25 years ago (an adult beverage may be consumed.); Followed by a euchre get together with another set of friends. No adult beverages, but plenty of trash to eat and some possible sleep deprivation.
And the whole day is stacking up to be “introvert behavior” deprivation. That will wear me out. HA!

.3/7: 222.2
/logged most; walked at gym/ Still a lot of water retention from recovery and from salt. And… some lack of progress due to a general lack of commitment. I wonder if I can finish this round strong? Come on Jeff, have a little self-respect!
Pity party done. No hugs please.

/food logged; no exercise/ frustrated because food was way under yesterday.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.8 -
@SModa61 I watched Katee Sackhoff's youtube videos and got inspired to be really clean with my diet for a whole month. So much from these videos about diet and exercise is about the importance of consistency with a clean diet. I didn't strength train for an hour a day but I did the shoulder and back exercises they showed (at home, no gym for me). 15-30 minutes a day. Steve Zim's Atomic Moms videos have shorts of easy exercises to do at home with light weights or a resistance band. I've been clean eating since February 1 with no added sugar or ultra processed foods or alcohol. The key lessons I learned was #1 consistency, #2 diet, #3 light weights, 20 reps, and stretching. For cardio I walk or do yoga mostly. I don't like getting out of breath so the easy workouts are the only way I can do it.

I decided it was time to get serious about losing weight on January 1 when I weighed in at 210. My ultimate goal is to be in the 160's by my 60th birthday in July, but my first goal was to be 185 by the wedding I am going to March 16. I will hopefully reach that goal this round.
SW RND 216 187.0
3/3 187.2 Had a good day yesterday, so not sure why the small uptick. Going out tonight, so I will try to behave myself...
3/4 186.1 Good! I was hoping that loss would show up today. Another night out tonight......
3/5 185.6 I am happy to see this number! I am almost to my mid March goal of 185. I wasn't sure it was possible when I started this in January.
3/6 185.8 I had a good day yesterday, so I'm not concerned about this uptick. I think my body is just adjusting to the big loss yesterday and the weekend of drinking some alcohol.
3/7 185.6 Had a good day yesterday. I think my body is still adjusting. Hopefully I'll have a drop tomorrow. We are meeting friends at Taco Tuesday, but no margaritas for me......
3/8 186.6 Drank wine at Taco Tuesday. It is showing on the scale...
3/9 185.8 Well, at least it's going down again.
