🍎🌻 Just Give Me One Month - August 2024 🌞

Female – wrong side of 65; wrong side of average height!

Previous Months:-
UGW - 53kg

Mini Goals August:
1. Post here every day for the rest of the month.
2. Lose 0.3kg in weight (July end weight was 53.5 kg, so goal is 53.2kg)
3. Lose 0.5cm from my waist

1 August – 53.7kg
2 August – 53.7kg
3 August – 54.0kg

Wine and snacks show up on the scale so no surprise.

I won’t be able to weigh in today or tomorrow. And perhaps that’s good. This is life after all. And we have to learn to be in the moment and enjoy them for what they are. There will be treats and snacks and it’s a weekend off. While I’ll be mindful and remember my goals. I’m not going to totally deny myself.

There were drinks by the pool and fire. But there was also lots of water and a sunset walk. There was an amazing meal of smoked brisket and potato salad. But there was a conscious effort to add in leafy greens and a larger helping of salad than typical so to avoid going back for seconds (and thirds because holy moly that brisket was good!)

While I miss my kiddos in an environment where we have spent a lot of time together. I am very much enjoying myself (as are they back home with dad)

so of course it all worked out in the end.

@AuroraUwU0 I mean this in the nicest way. But they most certainly will. And you want that of course. To raise kiddos with Minds of their own and choices. It’s all part of the process is all. And now that I’ve sloughed off the ‘mom’ skin for the weekend it’s all good. 🥰. Me time is essential on parenting too.

@SofaKween The wine and snacks may show but they also show your self care. It’s all a balance as I’m learning. 😊

It’s a long weekend here. Still be back to regular routines on Tuesday. Happy Sunday all!

Discipline is the key : Learning a new language, keeping the house clean, maintaining a routine for my babies, being prolific at work.

I'll be keeping the 10:14 intermitent fasting, and I'm going to commit to doing daily yoga. I'll need to find a time during the day or the evening, but it is required. I'll take it one day at a time, tracking everything in the bullet journal.

Ultimate goal: 73 kg
Medium term goal: Stop looking like I'm pregnant
Short term goal: Reach my pre-pregnancy weight 93.0

Initial June 13th weight: 103 kg
July 1st: 97.1 kg
August 1st: 93.9 kg
August 2nd: 93.3 kg
August 3rd: 93.8
August 4th: 91.8

Happy Sunday everyone!

August for the win!

I discovered a cool trick with MFP. It occurred to me you can put anything you want as a progress photo, doesn’t have to be your body. So on August 1 I logged my weight in the Progress section (I only log it there every few weeks) and as a photo I uploaded a screen shot of all my weight fluctuations I logged in this group. Now I have a record of the detail.

thanks for the new thread @ManifestingToday ! And welcome to any new comers. This group has been key in keeping me on the accountability path.

@Emkaygirl1 - you are not the only one dealing with meno issues . Its a real struggle but your on the right path with the higher protein and moving more.

March- Beginning weight 212
End of June weight -200.8
July 1- 200.5
July 31- 192.6 (my goal was 197 so I made it and beat it, )

August goals- 187 lbs and focusing on strength training , continued fitness level improvement.

August 1-5 we were on vacation

Aug 5th- 194.7-
I am a little surprised at this gain because we did have a couple days of hard hiking but I did consume alchohol and there were a few sweet treats so I probably shouldn't be surprised. We spent a fair bit of time driving as well...... So back to the hard work and focus on healthy food and exercise

Yes I too agree that we do need to have some “FunDays”
I had 2 in a row sat. And Sun. Yikes
The scale let me know this morning.
I need to be good this week.

Well it was bound to happen. And boy did I notice the change in my body over those days! Hahha. My stomach was NOT happy with me!

But it was a lovely weekend. And we are back on track today. Last day of the free trial of Premium here. I just can’t get behind the price. But now that I know I can still hang out here I’m not too sad about it.
