☔️🌧️ April Daily Weigh-in and Logging Challenge☔️🌦️

Jude, 67 YO, 5' 2". Highest weight 165, lowest 115. Looking to change my relationship to food to one that's healthy and sustainable. My 4th monthly challenge!
previous months: April goals:
* continue to be thoughtful about food choices and logging to make sure I’m eating well.
* continue to weigh/track/log as I did in Jan/Feb/March- it gets harder, not easier, as the goal gets closer!

End of April. Achieved my goal weight, but now the balancing act begins- how to stay right about here and eat correctly.
Right now I don't feel like celebrating as I gave my sister Covid and am waiting to hear how she's doing this morning. She's 82 and post-surgery. I'm worried...

Hi to everyone. I'm Jen from Florida, 40 years old, mom of 3 children and 4 dogs. I love everyone's posts... Very inspiring. I'm coming in late for April, but re-started my journey today. So accountability is always good.

4/24: 113.4 I’ve been good with calories, but bad with working out again. I’ve been exhausted lately and it kills my motivation, but I probably need to add in some exercises to get past this plateau.
4/25: ?
4/26: 112.2 I forgot to weight yesterday morning, oops! I did do some weight training the day before, but last night I felt super sick which probably partially led to the big drop today. I’m on a rare trip to town so I will definitely be above calories today but also get more steps in.
4/27: 114.4
4/28: 113.6
4/29: 114.2 Wow, this weekend was insanely busy. I had 2 days of all day travel to a "nearby" city which included fast food and not tracking. These trips are pretty rare though, only a few times a year and we did some shopping we needed to do and bought an old truck so overall it was good, but I'm beyond exhausted. I'm back to my prepped meals for the week and planning on some early bedtimes!
4/30: 114.0 A total loss of 1.6lbs for April & 8.6lbs overall. I honestly didn’t even realize the month was over. This is the busiest and most stressed I’ve ever been at my current job and I was exhausted most days. I’m happy that I made progress despite that, even if it’s less than I was hoping for. Congrats to all on making it another month!

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

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

04/29—DNW I went to look at another investment property today so I’m posting late. I ended up stopping at a bar with my son so we could get his favorite (Pizza). He wanted me to “pay him back” for being my GPS tracker. I would like to weigh in tomorrow since it’s the last day of the month but we’ll have to see if this incredible bloat goes away. I still think that I may have a bit of lactose intolerance in my old age. That cheese on the pizza has not done me any favors this evening.

Celebrating! 🥳
I lost 8.6 pounds this month! 🤸 I actually lost more than that, if you count the 2-3 pounds of bloat I regained and lost several times, due to eating a few meals I shouldn’t have throughout the month. (gluten/high salt) I also started walking ¼ mile/500 steps every day, 🚶‍♀️ and added a water aerobics class once a week to my exercise routine. 🏊‍♀️ So all-in-all, April was a great month.

Plans for the Week:
It seems like our cold weather is finally over with, 🤞 so I plan on getting some seeds planted in my garden.

April Reflection
I went back over my food journal for the last month, to try to figure out why I had good days and bad days when it came to my weight loss. I’m gluten intolerant, so I know that causes issues and wasn’t surprised to see the scale go up a few pounds, after eating something with it. I also noticed that the scale wants to stall or go up when I have a fruit heavy day as well. So while I’m not going to cut fruit out entirely, I am definitely going to cut back on it, and mainly stick with protein and veggies. Tracking my food daily has been invaluable in my weight loss journey, and has really helped me see where I need to make changes.

I have been staying on track with my exercise routine. I walk 500 steps a day, and recently added a once a week water aerobics class as well. I also joined a gym membership too, but haven’t been able to use it yet, due to spring allergies knocking me on my butt. 🤧 While that may not seem like a lot, for me it is almost unbelievable. Just 3 short months ago when I started my weight loss journey, I couldn’t even walk from one room of my home to another (and they are small rooms!) without losing my breath, getting dizzy, and almost passing out. So I thank God every day for my strength and endurance coming back, slowly but surely.

Here's to a great May! 🌸

@deepwoodslady its the 1st May here in Australia.
