March 30: 148.4 (10-day average 149.2)
April 6: 147.6 (10-day average 149.1)
April 13: 148.2 (10-day average 148.4)
Total loss for April: Eight pounds. Nice loss in January. Very stable all through February. Slowly up in March. Now finally slowly going back down in April. I am right at the upper end of my "ideal" maintenance range, and just higher than the middle of my absolute maintenance range. That's good! I am down 7.3 pounds for the year.
Stick to it!
I have no idea why I wrote that my total loss for April is eight pounds. I can do math. It's 0.8 pounds. Eight tenths of a pound, not eight pounds. That's not just an error, it's an order of magnitude error!
The 7.3 pounds for the year is correct.

๐ My MIL who lives with us went by ambulance to the hospital on Monday, had emergency cardiac surgery, and is now in CV ICU. This week has been incredibly stressful, and I am doing what I have always doneโฆ dropping everything I need to do for me to help everyone else. So, no walking and not eating right.
The last time I went hard in the paint to lose weight and was successful, my son was diagnosed with cancer and we were in the hospital for 4 months. Now, Iโm trying to do it again, I was successful last month in meeting my monthly goal. Now, my MIL is in the hospital indefinitely. What is God trying to tell me? Am I not supposed to lose weight and be healthier?6 -

This week was a little more relaxed than the week prior. Went to a friend's house to watch UFC and ate more than I planned. I definitely plan to be more strict this week with my calories. I for sure can hit my goal weight in the next 16 days4 -

@Stepawayfromthetable
Cheat meal? Who did you cheat? Why not think of it as a TREAT meal. It only happens every now and then, and that's fine. You're still losing at a pretty fast rate - five pounds in two weeks when you're only in the mid 150s is not really sustainable. It might even explain the desire to go off the rails and have that treat meal. General guidance is to aim for no more than 0.5% to 1.0% of your weight per week, and more towards the lower end if you don't have much to lose. That would be less than a pound a week for a good goal. Just think about it. You get to decide!2 -

Iโm sure God is not telling you that youโre not supposed to be healthy. One thing Iโve learned is that nobody can carry everyone around them. Can you reach out to other family members for support, both for your MIL and for yourself? Can others take some โhospital shifts,โ or if youโre going to be the primary person to deal with the hospital, can someone in your circle of friends & family help you with your food?
Also, it is important to find a few minutes for yourself every day, yes even in a crisis. Perhaps there is a park near the hospital where you could go for a 10-minute walk before you go in to see your MIL? Or try a guided meditation on Youtube before bed? We have to take care of ourselves if weโre going to care for others. Nobody has an unlimited supply of energy to give and give. Take care of yourself โค๏ธ

Went glamping in our travel trailer for 5 days and I was cognizant of bringing decent snacks for the most part. Homemade guacamole, and chips and salsa, cut vegetables and ranch, and some almond crackers and hard cheeses and nuts. Did have a couple choco chip cookies and some wine. But eating on the road isnโt always healthy and easy on me. I cook at home most of the time and love my routine. It was warm and sunny so we did get 10k steps in on a couple of days and came close on the others. Also completed a 6-mile bike ride for the first time in years.

I've been struggling the last few months, thankfully there is still a bit of determination in me to keep going. We both have had some health issues the past year or so and had made the decision to sell our home, we will be moving in the next couple of weeks, so hopefully things will calm down after that.

@NonnieDoiron Sending up prayers for your MIL. I hope she will have a speedy and full recovery. In the meantime, do the best to take care of yourself because you are important too. And so is your journey to stay healthy. Practice as many good habits as you can.0
