I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.

March 30: 142.6 (10-day average 143.6)
April 28: 148.0 (10-day average 145.2)


Total loss for March I didn't check in this month since I was rafting the Grand Canyon. I was below the rim 23 days, plus there were travel days on both ends. No scales down there. Even with all my activity, I managed to gain weight and am back to normalizing at my goal weight. I hope to get there in May.

Sometimes we have to just live our lives to the fullest and enjoy ourselves. And it's not always convenient to stick to our program. But we can enjoy with no guilt and get back to it when we return to our norm. Sounds like a great trip! I'd love to go rafting but hubby has a spinal cord issue so it'd be no fun without him. Glad you had a fun time. That's what lifes' all about.

April 30: 148.2 (trend 148.5)

Well, I didn't make my goal, although I had 2 days recently where I was below my goal, so I have confidence that I'll get there and stay there soon. I'm down 0.6lbs and my trend weight is down 1lb, so that's good. I haven't been putting in enough effort this month, I have been over calories more often than not and have been allowing alcohol and carby snacks to sneak back in. I have been consistent with strength training most days and have made daily walks a part of my routine, so that's something! On to May and better discipline 🙂

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

My birthday month, Mother’s Day, Memorial Weekend and lots of travel expected. But I’ve got to do better when and where I can. See you in May!


Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
