Well the last 4 days I had all my calories before 3pm. Trying to change that today and back to my spaced food instead of one big meal. Haven’t walked/ worked out since last Wednesday so hopping back to it today, dreading it but if I want to keep progress rolling I know I need to. It’s not so much of a give up and eat everything thing but more of a no desire to exercise.

5/06: 111.8 Things are going fairly well. I've started researching adding more protein into my diet as I get closer to my goal. I've always struggled finding protein-rich foods I like enough to eat every day, but I've already been hitting around 50 grams with the changes I've made so far. I think 80 grams is recommended so I'll have to play around and see where I can sneak in some more!

@KountryKat I would love to know some of the protein ideas and changed you have made and some of the ideas you come up with to increase the protein. My doctor told me I need about 81g and that has been a challenge. Any ideas you can share would be great! Keep us posted!

May 1: 151.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀 🧘‍♀️ 💦🧂📖🎮ME! A good day for me yesterday; got it all done and had some Me time. I love a new month - a fresh start; and so glad to be back.
May 2: 150.6 👣 📝 🥗💪 🧘‍♀️ 💦🧂 🎮 ME! A nice swish - hope it stays off. Still working towards that old scale number (had to replace the old scale mid-April and the new scale was ugly and not nice). As much as I hate to say it, the new scale was right. Went to the doctor yesterday and the numbers matched to the decimal. Nice day yesterday - moved bingo night with the family to Wednesday this week. Noone won, but it is always fun.
May 3: 152.2 👣 📝🥗 🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦📖 🎮 I should keep my mouth quiet when I have big downside - it always bites me in the butt. Busy day yesterday. Got our morning walk done, then worked in the garden most of the day. Spread the rest of the soil and turned it in. Got the carrots, potatoes, and parsnips planted. Cleaned up the screened porch which was filled with garden stuff. Exhausted, so of course binged a little - but with all the exercise today came just under my calorie limit - with binging of course went over the sodium limit.
May 4: 151.6 👣 📝 🥗💪 💦🧂 🎮 Another busy day in the garden, also busy with a relay race in another challenge that I am in - kept me busy all day.
May 5: 151.6 👣 📝 🥗💪 🫀💦🎮 What I expected (or a gain). Relay race for the Hogwarts challenge and the garden (finished) kept me so busy yesterday when dinnertime came I said I'm too exhausted to cook - we got subway, which has so much sodium, then I had pretzels, and cookies - ate all my exercise calories. Had two calories left for the day! I did take a beautiful walk in the morning yesterday along the Connecticut River and got this shot with the sun reflecting in the water - and they put the docks in, guess that means it's time to get the boat ready!
May 6: 150.2 😁 📝 💪 🧘‍♀️ 💦 🧂📖 🎮 ME! First smile in a while! I don't give them until I am under my last recorded low weight. Finally got under the old scale weight. Rested a little yesterday, didn't reach my step goal - but way over my 17K average goal. Tonight is bingo night with Mom- going to resist the junk!

May 7: 151 👣 📝 🥗🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Nice night with mom, noone won. I'm up on the scale - but was under my calorie limit and sodium limit - so thinking just normal flucuations.
May 8: 150.6 👣 📝 🥗💪 🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Nce day yesterday - super warm. Hubby had a PT appointment so got some me time while he was gone. Monty and I snuggled on the couch and watched MY tv shows. I usually watch them on the treadmill. It was nice. The scale is kind of being stubborn - showed me a little dance on Monday - but it was just a tease. We got the boat uncovered. We were going to wash it today- but got a call from Allyson this morning - she's having trouble with her AC unit - so going over for a Daddy-Do to see what we can do to fix it (or replace).

@deepwoodslady I know that you have been disappointed lately - and I get it. But please don't let it de-rail you. Persistence and slow and steady - you WILL get there. I hear you with the wish you could tell your body where to lose - mine is all in my legs. I lost a lot in my bust - and I was flat chested to begin with!

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

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.

05/07-185.2-(Trend Weight 183.8)- I don’t know why the scale is stalled, yesterday was a good day. Diet on point and I fit in a little more exercise/activity than usual. We’ll see in the coming days if it’s being stubborn and holding tantrums or if I’ve actually hit a plateau. Yesterday I held my head in shame and changed my ticker back to my current weight (increase) and I changed my colorful scratch off back to reflect that I have NOT left the 180's behind. I was disgusted to have to do that but I do need to stand in my truth and if I don't like it, I need to do something about it! Thanks to everyone for the compliment on the pictures I posted. As you can see, I hold most of my weight through my middle. I started this journey looking honestly about 8 ½ months pregnant and now I am down to about 5 months pregnant. I wish we could tell our bodies exactly where to lose our weight but it doesn’t work that way, sadly. So I will keep plugging away at this proverbial diabetic belly and keep in mind that it is overall fitness and strength I am after anyway and with that, the weight will work itself out. Anyway, thanks for all the compliments on my family. I think my kids are pretty great too!

05/08-184.8-(Trend Weight 184.4)- I got into my 6 year old grandsons snacks last night AFTER closing out MFP. Normally the little fruit snack gummy style packets don’t even tempt me as I am a chocolate fanatic and also crave cakes and donuts (especially). However, these sugar cravings have been horrid. Gosh, I really thought I loved my grandson more than I loved gummies!
