This week's weight loss: gained 1.1 lbs
Final challenge weight loss: gained 6.7 lbs in 13 weeks
Challenge weight loss goal: 13.4 lbs in 13 weeks

I’m happy that during this challenge, I was able to lose 6 pounds. However, I’m pretty disappointed with myself overall because during many of the weeks that I didn’t log my weight, most of the time it was due to the fact that I had gained weight and I was embarrassed to even log anything. I hope another challenge comes up for the next three months, because I know that it helps as a motivator. And I definitely need that.

03/13-189.4-(Trend Weight: 191.6)- It’s been a very good week. I really like the way the trend weight is moving too. Lots more work to do though. It’s a journey for sure!

03/21-188.6-(Trend Weight: 190.3)- I’ve changed my weigh-in day to Tuesday because I travel on Mondays for my cardiac rehab. I can change it back when I have completed the CR program. I’ve been very sick these past few days with extremely low blood pressures (Avg 81/41). No exercise or major movement here. Don’t want to push the heart too hard so there has been no calorie burn. Upside is that I’ve stuck to the diet plan so there’s that. Finally after 2 days and self-stopping my bp meds, my bp is up within range that is acceptable and I’m feeling a bit better. I may try something simple like the exercise bike today. If I could burn at least 2000 overall calories today I will be happy! My complete burn has only been 1800-1900 these past couple of days. That is what happens when you are stuck on the couch taking it easy! Otherwise, it has been a pretty good week. A lot of improvement in my trend weight because of it.


03/28-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I am heading north today to get my tax package to my accountant that moved quite far. I have not been able to take water pill due to bp drops as well as all this travel. All the more reason I am not weighing as I am bloating bigger. I have massaged my ankles and abdomen this morning in the hopes that it will help. Yet more restaurants today too along with lots of sitting. I am not allowed to exercise right now until they figure out my bp problems anyway so I suppose it’s okay. Hopefully the cardiologist will get back with me sometime today on the bp numbers I dropped off yesterday.
