I thought this might be a slow month but then I had a big woosh for some reason, not that I'm complaining! Over the past couple of weeks I've been feeling changes in my body but not seeing much movement on the scale til today. I can almost zip up my old, stretched out size 14 pants so maybe in another 10 lbs or so... Gotta keep on keepin on!

Back at it today!! Took about a two-week mini hiatus. I still tried to log but was not super on top of it and just didn't care and couldn't be bothered with it as well as too many bad choice opportunities that were hard to avoid. I am paying for those choices now though, as I feel like total garbage. Sluggish and almost fluish. 🤢 I am too afraid to weigh myself just yet. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. I am confident that I will not hit my April 1 goal. but onward and upward (or should I say downward) From here. I am super excited about all the progress I see from my fellow weightless friends! Keep up the good work! You all are so inspiring to me!!

Hello Ladies! I am back after a 5 day work trip and playing catch-up over the weekend. I have been OUT OF LINE (seems to have been a theme for a couple of months). I've been trending OK, but just feeling BLAH. My habits have been slipping and I seem to be...just letting them. I made some not great food choices while out of town and beyond the scale reflection, I did not FEEL GOOD. I feel the snowball and I am determined to put an end to the slipping/mounting problem.

I have had several trips over the last couple of months that have stalled my momentum. This is going to be a part of life and I need to learn to navigate this a bit better.

I meal prepped all day on Sunday for the week and have set myself up for success. Once again I am focused on protein intake and lots of vegetables as I like to eat a lot of food.

I'm recommitting. I'm saying it here. I need the drive that was carrying me through November-January. My non-negotiables have been VERY "negotiated". That changes starting today.

Wish me luck! If anyone wants to devise some plan for direct accountability-let me know

I’m happy with this overall loss for the month! This week has been TOM of me and it’s just wrapping up today, so I imagine next week I will have a nice loss that’s not currently reflected. And, to be fair to my body, I also had 2 days this week where I ate about 200 over my allotted calories because I was hungry and crabby 😅 So, any loss is still a victory!

The weather is getting warmer here and I’ve gone for a couple of extra walks on my lunch break this week, which has been fun. Moving more helps keep me motivated to stick to my eating plan.

But, I also did a bad job of planning one day this week - I had a friends’ kids over to bake a cake after work one day and I had had zero time to prep any food that I could eat. So, I ate cake scraps and frosting with the kids for dinner 🤦🏻‍♀️ Did I weigh or log any of those things? I definitely did not. But, I’m proud of myself because the next day I picked it right back up and that’s all that matters. Anyone can have an off day, it’s an off lifestyle that makes me sliiiiide right back to where I was in 2021.

My husband and I are TTC but I have PCOS and we’ve had some life changes this year that have made my cycles get super out of whack. I had a 48-52 day cycle in 2020, then got serious about my health and lost a bunch of weight in 2021, which made my cycles go to about 34-36 days. They stayed there for 2 years (even with my weight regain) and then we moved to a new country and they went whacko again. 44-48 days for the last 8 months! Buuuut I have cut out all sugar (including fruit, sigh) and am aiming for under 50g of carbs a day (which is what my doc said will help with my PCOS) and this month my cycle was 38 days!! Hoping if I stick to this my health can get better again.

Thanks for a great month! See you all in April!!
