    August for the win!

    SW: 196 Feb 2024
    UGW: 170
    August GW: 187

    August 1: 189
    August 2: 188.5
    August 3: 189

    5: 187.5
    6: 187

    I somehow managed to not indulge even though it was a long weekend. It helps that my partner now wants to cut back too. He’s always been supportive of my efforts but now I need to support him in return so it amplifies the effort a bit.

    @ManifestingToday - wasn't just the forward jumping we had to jump backwards too. Reminded me of watching one of the grand children learning how to jump - the arms and body lift but the legs barely leave the floor :)

    Had a good evening yesterday – should have managed my meals better throughout the day as had an early lunch and then dinner in the evening wasn’t until 8 ish, so snacked on salty nachos around 6. Wraps later had cheese in them which I am not a fan of, so that at least cut the carbs down later on as I just had meat and salad.

    Climbing today.

    Hi, I'm a 50+ yo married female, 5'6", and I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again. I'm not making this a race - I'm doing this at my pace. This year has given me a few challenges - but I'm still working toward weight loss goals. ✨

    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
    August 5th: 93.3
    August 6th: 93.1
    August 7th/ 92.6

    I've been doing daily yoga and I feel so good for it. Also I'm trying to do it outside, as it turns out I have a huge vitamin D deficiency. We got this!

    Heading out on a five day trip to visit family and friends. There shouldn’t be too much temptation as they aren’t big partiers but I’m not sure I’ll have access to a decent scale. I’ll check in here every day anyway to keep the accountability.

    3 days to put on three pounds. 3 days and I lose 1.3😂. The game is fixed folks!

    Ah well. To be fair it really does make sense. But it’s been nice to get back to my healthier eating. It was hard this week because I didn’t get to go shopping and it’s less tempting to eat right when the foods I have to eat right with aren’t yummy. But o treated myself to my favourite ‘little gems’ tomatoes. Some Salmon. An amazing salad dressing that I look forward too. My flavoured bubble water. I fill up on all these delicious but healthy choices and In not left craving a rice crispy square at 2pm. (Well I am. But I can say no with almost convincing conviction.)



    I’ve started to find healthy choices that I ENJOY (as Ive always wanted to enjoy my meals) and when my food isn’t doing it for me I’m more apt to turn to foods that do. I’ve never been able to relate to the food is fuel mindset. Of course it is. But food is also ‘good’. And life is too short not to embrace sone enjoyment out of fuel.

    I discovered Starbucks eggbites over the weekend and boy those were good! At 7$ a pop I’m sure o can make them at home for a quarter of the price. I found a recipe I’m going to try for next week. It has cottage cheese for extra protein. I think it will be good!

    Hope you are all hanging a good week!

    its been a few days , things have been really busy since we got back from vacation and I have been stretched really thin. I know i have not done well with eating healthy meals and with the meds my appetite has been in the tank. I just tried to focus on getting enough protein in but not sure how I did since I didn't track. Last night was the first time I felt like I had an appetite. Overall, Feeling way off track right now with meals/workouts/consistency even though the scale is being nice to me, I know its because I am not eating much at all which isn't the best. I have another busy weekend but my plan is to get back on my schedule next week.


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

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

    August 1-5 we were on vacation
    8/5- 194.7
    8/6- 195- this might take longer than I expected
    8/9-191.4
    * If I can stay at this weight I have finally hit the 20 lbs loss mark .. so that feels pretty good
