🌸🌼May Daily Logging and Weigh in Challenge🌼🌸

I've been trying to track since Jan and I can't really get any traction with losing weight. I make some progress, but then I eat take out- pizza, chinese food etc, and it takes me a week to get my weight back down to what it was before.

Just thinking out loud. The funny thing is, I don't even enjoy the take out much anymore. I guess it's convenient. I need to maybe look at how much I'm doing that and see if I can set some goals around it- the frequency. I will do that for June.

Daily calories- yesterday

Goal- 1600 Actual 1531

May Weighins

May 3- 160.2
May 7- 159.6- weekly weigh in
May 12- 161.8
May 14- 161- weekly weigh in
May 20 - 160.4
May 21- 160.2
May 26-161

MAy goals:

** Weigh in weekly on Wednesdays.
**Track calories every day. This week 4/7 days
**Stick to my calorie goals (1600, plus 100 on days I go in to the office- more movement/longer day).
**If I go over, try not to go over by more than 300. So that I don't just give up and splurge higher and higher.

Yes, our hostess will post the next one soon I am sure. No point in waiting though. Hop in now so you can get credit for anything you do between now and the 1st. 5 more weigh ins between now and the 31st! Welcome, by the way. It's great to have you join us!

The scales have moved back up darn it. Hopefully it’s a temporary bump in the road.

05/27-193.2 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 194.4) Lots of movement yesterday on the holiday which I think really helped. My overall macros were “just okay” yet I have seen a drop today. And yesterday I was reporting a great day and saw an increase. It seems everything is running one day behind right now which is not always the case for me. I’ll keep that in mind so it helps with the emotions of it all.

🌺🌺🌺🌺 05/28-194.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 194.3) I self-sabotaged last night because one of my other challenges was week end weigh-in day this morning. Why, Donna, Why? Luckily my trend weight is still going down which truly is the big picture. I’m going to focus on that and plan an excellent day. Yesterday was excellent until night time snacks. Better planning!

I stuck to my pre-logged foods until about 5:00. It started when I attended a school function with DGS where we were met at the front door by the hot dog and chips stand. Who can resist FREE? Also, who can resist dinner when you haven’t eaten it yet (I usually eat at 8:00). Then snack was the luxurious food from daughter. I opted for 2 ½ stunning overly sweet cookies with 8 oz of real 2% milk (not my usual lower carb Fairlife brand). I’m surprised at the drop on the scale. I anticipate that maybe this will show up tomorrow but for now, I will relish in it (pardon the hot dog pun).

Hi all!! 

I’m back for another month! Love the MAY Mantra and hope to adopt it as well. My goal is to work towards overall improved health by eating healthier and increasing activity.

I’m starting a bit late this month due to traveling for work. Just returned home and found myself up 5 pounds…yikes! Time to get back to better habits!

Still on vacation and with no scale. I’ve been trying to make healthier eating decisions but admit to indulging in a cocktail and slice of Key Lime pie here and there. I really wish I had a scale! I like to see how my choices impact me. We will be heading home tomorrow, so I will be back to my routine! It is going to be tough to give up my view and head back to the Midwest!!

Ah sorry about the car. I won't ask about the kangaroo. When I was a kid, my mother hit a deer. Our car looked much like that.

On track with calories yesterday. and weight came down a bit today which was nice. I'm working on new goals for June.

I’m sure the weight loss will level off rather quickly, but hopefully it will still be down and continuing it’s current projectory. This is my best month in a long time. Fingers crossed for June. I can’t wait to see you all there! I love readying all your posts!.
