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: 98.8
Hope you all have a nice weekend 🙂
@Emkaygirl1 Yoga in a retreat sounds nice! Also, reading your message about your family was like reading my own future. I'm absolutely certain once my babies are a bit older, they'll do the same to me haha. I hope you still enjoy the visit to your cousin 😊
@ManifestingToday enjoy your pasta! You'll get back to it tomorrow.0 -

Happy Sunday everyone 💪🤠🛺1 -
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!2 -

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

Not completely shocked, but this will of course go down again as I stick to plan and work out. Crazy how one day can throw everything off though.
Welcome to the group, @JanesGame. I hope you find the weight logging useful.
It sounds like we all had some fun over the weekend -- which is good. Like @Emkaygirl1 said, we have to have some days where we treat ourselves and enjoy the moment. I totally agree.
Have a great Monday and start to the week everyone.3 -
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.4 -
New here, but love this thread! I just got back from a month in Spain for my daughter’s graduation gift, and I ate all of the foods and drank all of the drinks! Even with being quite active (walking the last 110kms of the Camino Portuguese in week 2), I managed to come home 10lbs heavier on August 1st. I started trying to turn this around with a 24 hour water fast and then back to prioritizing protein and fiber.
UGW 159
August 1 183.4
August 2 181.2
August 3 179.2
August 4 178.7
August 5 177.2
I’m very excited by the progress, but am thinking it was mostly water weight from eating higher sodium than usual and long flights home. I’m cutting back to my previous cap of 5 drinks a week as I definitely enjoyed the wines of Spain quite a bit, as well as some very sugary cocktails and went well above normal amounts for me, but it was the trip of a lifetime and I accepted that the scale would take a hit!
I’m 54 and 5’7”. Great to meet you all!!5 -

Weights yesterday went better than I thought it would. PB on my bench press albeit with low weights but it means there’s progress. Tried the 45 min stretch with cardio session today, idea is that it complements the weights sessions. Hated every minute of it - these old knees do not enjoy jumping!

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.2 -

@axlrozman Welcome to the group! Frankly, the month in Spain was worth it, to try all the foods and experience everything a country has to offer. Now you can just work off the gains and still remember all those good times. Wishing you continued success as you work toward your goal!
@SofaKween I used to love stomping around doing step aerobics, jumping rope, all sorts of stuff. My knees now are like: NO. It sucks how our bodies change, but at least you know what is and isn't working.
@AuroraUwU0 I like your persistence! Routines, tracking, keeping with the vision. You've got this. I hope you enjoy the yoga, regardless of how you work it into your schedule. I really enjoyed that when I was doing it regularly.
@Emkaygirl1 @dannytrees1 If you had a good time, then it was worth it. You know the numbers will come down again. I'm in that boat with you, but we know how this works.
Have a good Tuesday, everyone!1
