Apr 5 195 pms and a migraine today.
Apr 12 193 yeah!
Apr 19 192.5 I guess a loss is a loss. Ugh I know stress makes losing weight harder. I need to not feel so burnt out.

Soooooo bloated! I didn’t walk Wednesday and only managed to do 1 mile yesterday over lunch bc I had to run home to let the dogs out. I wanted to eat EVERYTHING last night bc I was so bloated and just like “f this”, but I resisted and it was HARD. I have today off so going to do at least 3 miles today with them. Calories are in deficit, I reached my under 165 by the 20th goal, shirts are looser then the beginning of the month, so trying to focus on the positives, even if my gut is expanding this week.

I swear the scale said 146, but I continued to reweigh myself 10 times. Gym at 11pm = no snack time 😁. Tonight gym closes earlier.

UGW - 54kg
UGWaistM - 78cm

March SW – 60.5kg
March Start WaistM – 83cm

April SW – 58.8kg
April SWaistM – 81cm

Mini Goals April:
1. Post here every day for the rest of the month.
2. Lose 1kg in weight
3. Lose 1cm from my waist (will measure at the end of the month)

1 April – 58.8
2 April – 58.7
3 April – 58.6 – not a good night’s sleep. Does overthinking when you should be sleeping burn extra calories?
4 April – 58.5
5 April – 58.4 – weights workout yesterday. Tired today but need to do some exercise so I can earn my Friday evening wine. Swapped out some of my black coffees for mint tea and wondering if the lower caffeine intake helps with water weight.
6 April – 58.6 – Same as last week, Friday wine means weight on Saturday morning has gone up 0.2kg. Disappointing, but not unexpected.
7 April – 58.4 – only one small glass of wine last night so back to where I was a few days ago. Feeling very unmotivated at the moment.
8 April – 58.4
9 April – 58.3 – Tried W2 C25K again yesterday. My knees are complaining bitterly today.
10 April – 58.2 – just a walk yesterday. May try a stretch class at the gym this afternoon.
11 April – 58.2
12 April – 58.0 – climbed yesterday. Was tough.
13 April – DNW – away
14 April – DNW - away
15 April – 57.8 – had a great time away but not really surprised by the drop in the scales as I’m a fussy eater and the food provided meant my eating choices were limited. Didn’t feel particularly hungry whilst I was there, but now that I’m home it’s a different matter.
16 April – 57.7 – weights session yesterday. Always a bit worried that losing weight means losing muscle but seems to be okay although I’m really tired today.
17 April – 57.7 – break in the rainy weather this morning so going for a walk in the woods before the bluebells disappear.
18 April – 57.8 – hungry yesterday but ate within calories so slightly disappointed with the scales. Seem to have a bit of an irritating cough starting. Climbing today but not feeling the love.
19 April - 57.5 – no idea what my scales are doing but obviously not complaining. Climbing turned out to be better than expected though.
20 April – 57.7 – Friday night wine pattern definitely emerging.
21 April – 57.7 – my irritating cough is becoming more annoying – hope it doesn't linger too long.

I didn’t expect this much drop this month! Controlling snacking, and daily accountability, seems to be the key for me.
I also don’t drink much now, but discovered that post drinking munch cravings are just a thirst for water!!! Not food. Maybe can use this new knowledge when my vacations arrive soon 😉

@SofaKween hope you’re feeling better soon!
