09/01-185.0 β (Trend Weight: 184.6)
09/02-187.8 β (Trend Weight: 184.9) Well, todayβs weight marks a gain of 6 full pounds in just 48 hours! I didnβt eat THAT MUCH on the holiday. I know some of this is fluid buildup, some of it is justified. This is just how I sometimes roll.. Tomorrow is a travel day so I donβt expect it will level off too soon, but I will make today a good day so I go into the travel day on better footing. Iβm going to try to stay positive at the start of this new month and hope that βeasy come, easy goβ will be my mantra this month. I will not accept that it is all easy come! I donβt know how much progress I can make by the end of this challenge since Iβve already gained 6 pounds in the first two days, but for September I have 28 days left to make a dent, my friends! Today, Iβm denting.
ππππ 09/03-185.2 β (Trend Weight: 184.9) Traveling today. I dread the lack of exercise/movement and what the scale will read tomorrow after restaurant food. I canβt control the exact ingredients so Iβll try to focus and exercise control of the portions. It feels like Iβll probably be playing catch up the entire month of September after the past few days of huge increases! Uphill battles but I donβt tire easily!

8/29: 182.1 π₯ΊIβm +2.1 from the end of Rnd 306, and I knew that was going to happen after having lunch at our local Asian restaurant. I ordered Lettuce Wraps because I thought they would be light. π€£Of course, I also got to have Crab Rangoon, bc this restaurant actually has the GF. Then we came home and I had nothing to make for dinner with the wedding weekend beginning today. So I ate my lunch leftovers for dinner. Double whammy!Β
8/30:
183.1182.1 π€¨I expected this and almost didnβt weigh. However, Iβm glad I did so that I keep this in mind at the wedding today. Last night was food that we normally donβt eat: BBQ brisket, pulled pork, baked beans, cheesy potatoesβ¦ugh! (No bun since they didnβt have GF.) When I started entering the food in MFP on the way home, I understood why we always eat chicken or fish! I mean, 190 cal for a thin slice of brisket!!! π³I only had one drink, so thatβs cool. In the past, I would have had 2-3 total. Also, not much water since a bathroom was not always handy. After the wedding today, I think weβll need a week of salads to recover from this. π8/31: 182.4 πNot bad after two days of wedding stuff. I also corrected my weight from yesterday. That was the biggest surprise of all. Anyway, the wedding is OVER!πWorrying about what dress, what hairstyle, and whatever else was plaguing my insecurities. Itβs over! Iβm happy and I feel good about how everything turned out. I chose the dress that won by a landslide from everyoneβs votes from here and the few other people I entrusted with my photos. So thank you all for your input. Iβm posting the finished product of me with DH. He was too nervous to even think about taking a pic of just me. π€£
9/1: 182.3 π€¨Calories were right on the line, but I also had a drink when we went out. Iβm sure Iβm retaining water and stuff from the wedding weekend. Iβm not panickingβ¦yet. I really have some steady goals, so I hope we get this worked out.
9/2: 181.6 πThis is better. Not sure if Iβll make my goal by the end of this round, but Iβm going to try. Last night, I tried not eating after 8pm. That was hard! Went for a walk this morning to get some exercise that has not been happening. 1.5mi Maybe if I get motivated, Iβll do it again this evening. Nothing exciting about food. I just made IP Chicken Tacos. The nice thing is, those are now on hand for a while. I also found some GF Almond Flour Tortillas that were pretty good. They still fall apart easily, but they didnβt taste gummy. Yay!
9/3: 181.3 πDown -0.3. Not exciting, but Iβm thinking, βIf I did that every day???β Today is book club and out to eat for dinner with a friend. I hope I hold it together. Not sure if any exercise will happen. On the plus side, I ended up with over 6K steps. I know this is baby steps compared to most of you, but it was a NSV for me!π

9/2 - 130.8
9/3 - 130.0 ππ»ββοΈπ«
8/29 - 130.8 ππ»ββοΈ After my spiel about alcohol yesterday I drank probably half a bottle of wine last night with dinner (troublesome when I use it in a recipe and cook with wine in 2 ways) and I couldnβt sleep until 2am. This morning I subbed as a paraprofessional for a nonverbal autistic 3 year old (I am not trained to do this AT ALL) and I am just completely wiped. Going to try to do my assigned run this afternoon but also not going to stress about it. Very glad tomorrow is a rest day. I think weβre going hiking but at least thatβs easy at our family pace.
8/30 - 130.4 ππ»ββοΈπ« I made amazing homemade pizzas last night! Certainly not diet food but my family absolutely raved. My 6yo said it was the best food heβd had in his life. I squeezed a treadmill run in yesterday afternoon while the 4yo had a friend over. Slightly interrupted by rattling and whining but better than nothing. I had a good NSV last night: we had friends over that DH and I consider our drinking buddies and I fully abstained from drinking. I had a hop water, an NA beer, and a seltzer instead while we chatted by the fire. Zero fun lost and zero sleep lost!
8/31 - 132.2 ππ»ββοΈπ« Two restaurant meals yesterday on our family adventure. We had so much fun in a WV state park. We did a 3-mile hike around a lake. 4yo was whiny but the 6yo loved it! Today I have to do a super hard interval run and Iβll probably walk the dogs and do chores. My kids want a true βstay-home dayβ so it will be quiet. Happy Sunday!
9/1 - 132.0ππ»ββοΈπ« Not happy with this number but mostly Iβm grumpy that I seem to have injured my hip. Googling makes me suspect bursitis. I read the risk factors for bursitis from over-use: middle-aged, female, perimenopause, and overpronation. The only one of those I can fix is overpronation with new shoes. My shoes are nearly a year old and running shoe cushions donβt work great for more than 6 months. I also may try to mix up my cardio more. I was casually training for a half marathon next month just for something to work toward but Iβd never registered for it. I think Iβll just do a better mix of things. Peloton offers a suggested workout each day of the week so my plan is to follow those for a while. After some rest.Β
9/2 - 130.8. Didnβt move and did drink yesterday. DH decided he wanted to do hot dogs and deviled eggs yesterday so we invited our neighbors over for dinner and a fire. I stuck with light beer which I handled a lot better than the wine last week! Today Iβm planning to walk the dogs and maybe do a little yoga for active recovery. We biked with the kids to a playground yesterday and I found that my hip feels fine while biking, so thatβs good! It will be nice to have something to redirect my cardio attention to.
9/3 - 130.0 ππ»ββοΈπ« Okay yesterday I only ended up walking the dogs for exercise but Iβm counting it. Today I did yoga and a 20 minute Peloton ride. Whew it feels hard after a while away!
Today is DHβs and my 9th wedding anniversary! Weβre planning to go out to a concert with my mom coming to babysit. It will be nice to have a night out but obviously need to be mindful of what I consume, especially since I substitute teach at 7:30am tomorrow. Plus I really want to meet my goal this round since Iβm going to the beach next week.
@itladyee thanks for the spoiler help! Donβt know if the βITβ in your username is computer-related but if it is youβre living up to it π

8/29- 167.98/30- 170.68/31- DNW9/01- DNW9/02- 171.69/03- 167.8 - Well I wasn't expecting that. I guess getting enough water and minding my intake really made an immediate difference. No gym this morning since I only walk on the treadmill and BF didn't get up to go. Instead, I set my walking pad to 30 minutes and gently strolled. I was just under 1 mile according to the display - I was going slow and gentle not to irritate my shoulder which is fine. Movement is movement at this point. I have to figure out a snack that will get me about 13-33g protein and a loooot of carbs (I think I have 73 left and I've resumed my +/-10g buffer now that the challenge is over). I also need quite a few steps still - I'm sitting at just over 4,500 steps for the day and my goal is 8,000. Its early enough so I think I can manage without too much trouble, just needed to note it and draw my own attention to it. All else is good. Doc appointment tomorrow and I'm looking forward to getting answers!3 -
π· 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 307 (my 237th).
Goals for every round;
- First and foremost, no feeding frenzies β I am not a shark or even a piranha!
- to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
- be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
- an additional goal for me (again) this round is to have a totally 10-day binge free round.
Sooooh, 9 days we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time, I should be able to lose 2 pounds, so that is my personal challenge, I want to be in the 140's by then. I can do it if I use my will power.
I need to remain consistent - it does work! I aim to lose 2 pounds. Good luck for success everyone.
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, itβs taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 135. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.
Updated 20.08.24 β I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info π. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 67 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.
I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".

Just Give Me 10 Days β Round 307
August 29 β Sept 7, 202563 year old female, 5β5β. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).Β
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020Β Β β 153 (lost 40, then stress loss of 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023Β Β β 146.6GW Maintaining between 124 β 126Β
SW: 126.2
8/29 β 127.4 solidly confused. Yesterdayβs scale fight made no sense, and it returned again this morning. Not fighting with it. Will continue as is and see what the number is when I can next weigh on my home scale (same brand, same model and they always align) next Wednesday. Yesterday was slightly over target, but again in maintenance range. So a notable gain is not in the cards. There was a lot of salt yesterday, including fully tracked restaurant dining in the evening. Dining out again today. The ride continuesβ¦..
8/30 β 126.6 confused in a different way. Last night was another night out and I actually ordered an entrΓ©e (was fabulous!). I expected a possible up, not a drop. Next few days are normal life, so hopefully I will figure out where I am at.
9/31 β 125.8 I have forgiven my Maine scale for making me crazy. Last saw this number briefly Feb, 2024. Going to get some activity today. Still TBD, but will be something!
9/1 β 126.2 Made it to Planet Fitness yesterday, but I just did treadmill for an hour. Not exciting or great, but I did something. Believe it or not, my muscles are not fully pleased today. Kind of sad that just walking would do that. Calories were very good. Under target number AND did not eat back any exercise.
9/2 β 126.2 Slightly over but controlled.
9/3 β 125.6 Pleased this morning. Lately, I have been doing an evening check (not something I normally do, but am in the home stretch) and the scale implied that I was going to be up a pound today. Boy was I frustrated, as my calories had been spot on for the day. Well, so much for the night time predictions. The news was good. If I can just hang tight for another 11 days.

π· 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 307 (my 237th).
Goals for every round;
- First and foremost, no feeding frenzies β I am not a shark or even a piranha!
- to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
- be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
- an additional goal for me (again) this round is to have a totally 10-day binge free round.
Sooooh, 9 days we fly out for our annual holiday; in that time, I should be able to lose 2 pounds, so that is my personal challenge, I want to be in the 140's by then. I can do it if I use my will power.
I need to remain consistent - it does work! I aim to lose 2 pounds. Good luck for success everyone.
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, itβs taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 135. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.
Updated 20.08.24 β I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info π. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 67 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.
I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".
8/28 142.6 (trend 142.4) 7.99 miles walked. Didnβt meet the goal of 139.2, letβs just keep going!

Yesterday was a day of reckless abandonment. I lived my life like someone else was in charge of my physical wellbeing. I logged it all and it reads like an episode of βDateline.β I can hear the grey haired Keith Morrison saying, βhe SAID he was interested in taking care of his body,β¦. but what really happened on that beautiful afternoon on August 28th of 2025?β

Mediocre day. Met all my goals with flying shades of grey, rather than βwith flying colorsβ My exercise class met for the monthly lunch at the Pizza Ranch, where we undo all we have done. I managed my food for the rest of the day to meet goals.8/31: 221.8

Did not meet my UPF yesterday. I had a hotdog bun, some crackers and a Fannie May butter cream candy. Also, some adult beverages. For the indiscretions above, my food log holds the following:I did hit the net cal target, but I need to find a way to eliminate allowing CO to zero out UPF style CI.
Today is an eating day with friends and relatives. DW is making peach pie. It will be tough to find exercise time.
9/1: 223.0
βοΈMy only goal-met yesterday was logging (βοΈ). I also technically met the target (π―) under my former rules, which include eating back some exercise calories. I am amending my rules to say that UPF (β£οΈ) Calories-In are deducted from exercise (π) Calories-Out.
BOOM! Actions have consequences! Truth! The message I am sending myself is that there is no exercise-based recovery from Ultra-Processed-Food.
It is now September! Trip coming up mid-month after my High School 50 year reunion. Two things to inspire me right now.

I was a bit surprised by no movement with scale. Such a beautiful day yesterday. I rode 24 miles on the bike. BLTβs for lunch and chicken on the grill for supper.In unrelated news, our 15 year old CavaPoo (Poppy) is showing signs she is ready for the proverbial Rainbow Bridge. Difficulty breathing and occasional loss of rear legs control. Yet, there are moments of puppy energy. I wouldnβt be surprised if some morning soon she is gone when I get up. We wonβt let her suffer.
In further off-topic news, today is the first day of CBS (Community Bible Study.) I love my local class of this worldwide program. This year it is about the book of Psalms. This is not a paid advertisement. HA!

I am glad for the loss. Doing some churning here. My 10-day average has been damaged by the past two days. I am trying to learn my lesson.Poppy had one of her puppy days yesterday, so who knows? I sure donβt. Thank you all for your kind words.
I ordered a backpack to be used as my βpersonal itemβ on the plane and it came yesterday. It was soooo small. Does anyone remember the unveiling of the Stonehenge stage prop in the movie βThis is Spinal Tap?β Similar.

Rnd 305 Ending Weight: 141.0
Rnd 306 Ending Weight: 141.18/29: 142.3. Not sure why the upswing today, other than just the normal fluctuations. Eating was decent, ran just 3 miles on the treadmill.
8/30: 144.4. I'm not surprised at the jump. I did some carb loading yesterday to prepare for a long run I'm going to do this morning. I'm going to attempt a 12 mile run again.
Yesterday was a rest day from running, and I also didn't have time for my morning walk. My steps were only about 4,000 by evening, so I walked on the treadmill to get 10,000.
8/31: 143.6. I'm happy to say I completed 12 miles running on the treadmill yesterday. It was a pretty good run, completely opposite of when I attempted it last week. Focusing on proper fueling has made a world of difference! I'm still trying to find a balance so I can also drop a few pounds. I'm just going to do what I can, and appreciate my body for being able to do these long runs.
I went grocery shopping yesterday and stocked up on healthy food. Today I'm going to do a bunch of cooking for the week. I'm planning on a good week.
9/1: 143.6. Up early this morning due to some sick kids. I hope it passes quickly. I got a lot done yesterday, including a bunch of meal prep. The fridge is full of healthy options now. I also did an easy 3 mile recovery run on the treadmill. However, I ended the day with a few beers, so not a perfect day.
9/2: 144.3. Well, this is the wrong direction. I need to work on snacking, as I've had way too many crackers and such while feeding my kids lately. It has got a little out of control. I don't need crackers every time they eat!
It was rest day from running, and I did a short walk.
9/3: 143.9. Snacking was better yesterday, but still more than I need. I'll continue to work on that. Today, my goal is no crackers! I know it seems silly, but it really has gotten out of control.
I did a 3.5 mile walk and a 5 mile treadmill run
9/4: 142.7. I feel good to be back at this weight. I wish I was making more real progress instead of bouncing around, but at least I'm not gaining. Yesterday was a good day. I tracked my food in the first time in a while and was under target. Snacking was a lot better. No walk because of time and weather constraints, but did another 5 mile run on the treadmill. Happy Thursday everyone!

Just Give Me 10 Days β Round 307
August 29 β Sept 7, 202563 year old female, 5β5β. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).Β
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020Β Β β 153 (lost 40, then stress loss of 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023Β Β β 146.6GW Maintaining between 124 β 126Β
SW: 126.2
8/29 β 127.4 solidly confused. Yesterdayβs scale fight made no sense, and it returned again this morning. Not fighting with it. Will continue as is and see what the number is when I can next weigh on my home scale (same brand, same model and they always align) next Wednesday. Yesterday was slightly over target, but again in maintenance range. So a notable gain is not in the cards. There was a lot of salt yesterday, including fully tracked restaurant dining in the evening. Dining out again today. The ride continuesβ¦..
8/30 β 126.6 confused in a different way. Last night was another night out and I actually ordered an entrΓ©e (was fabulous!). I expected a possible up, not a drop. Next few days are normal life, so hopefully I will figure out where I am at.
9/31 β 125.8 I have forgiven my Maine scale for making me crazy. Last saw this number briefly Feb, 2024. Going to get some activity today. Still TBD, but will be something!
9/1 β 126.2 Made it to Planet Fitness yesterday, but I just did treadmill for an hour. Not exciting or great, but I did something. Believe it or not, my muscles are not fully pleased today. Kind of sad that just walking would do that. Calories were very good. Under target number AND did not eat back any exercise.
9/2 β 126.2 Slightly over but controlled.
9/3 β 125.6 Pleased this morning. Lately, I have been doing an evening check (not something I normally do, but am in the home stretch) and the scale implied that I was going to be up a pound today. Boy was I frustrated, as my calories had been spot on for the day. Well, so much for the night time predictions. The news was good. If I can just hang tight for another 11 days.
9/4 β 126.0 Good day, though I misread some packaging and went over by ΒΎ of an oreo. :P was under before I ate three. Package has been open for over a week (made oreo ice cream with the DGSs) so I am happy. I likely would have kept avoiding, but DH went by with 5 in his hand. I read the package and in the bad lighting thought it said 3 for 120, not 3 for 160. Realized my error when I tried to track and there was no such thing as three for 120. Oh, well. No binge, and there are still more uneaten on the counter. That is a win.

Amanda, happy anniversary, and I hope you enjoyed a night out with your hubby!
@_JeffreyD_ Poppy reminds me of my Sugar-Booger. We said goodbye at around age 20ish shi-poo 8 lbs!) She was a rescue and she kept getting younger and younger! We had three vets the first six years with me and each vet guessed a younger age than the one before. She was mine for 16+ years. And the first vet guest that she was eight! You will know when itβs Poppyβs time. Sending you prayers and hugs!

I ordered Lettuce Wraps because I thought they would be light. π€£Of course, I also got to have Crab Rangoon, bc this restaurant actually has the GF. Then we came home and I had nothing to make for dinner with the wedding weekend beginning today. So I ate my lunch leftovers for dinner. Double whammy!Β
8/30:
183.1182.1 π€¨I expected this and almost didnβt weigh. However, Iβm glad I did so that I keep this in mind at the wedding today. Last night was food that we normally donβt eat: BBQ brisket, pulled pork, baked beans, cheesy potatoesβ¦ugh! (No bun since they didnβt have GF.) When I started entering the food in MFP on the way home, I understood why we always eat chicken or fish! I mean, 190 cal for a thin slice of brisket!!! π³I only had one drink, so thatβs cool. In the past, I would have had 2-3 total. Also, not much water since a bathroom was not always handy. After the wedding today, I think weβll need a week of salads to recover from this. π8/31: 182.4 πNot bad after two days of wedding stuff. I also corrected my weight from yesterday. That was the biggest surprise of all. Anyway, the wedding is OVER!πWorrying about what dress, what hairstyle, and whatever else was plaguing my insecurities. Itβs over! Iβm happy and I feel good about how everything turned out. I chose the dress that won by a landslide from everyoneβs votes from here and the few other people I entrusted with my photos. So thank you all for your input. Iβm posting the finished product of me with DH. He was too nervous to even think about taking a pic of just me. π€£
9/1: 182.3 π€¨Calories were right on the line, but I also had a drink when we went out. Iβm sure Iβm retaining water and stuff from the wedding weekend. Iβm not panickingβ¦yet. I really have some steady goals, so I hope we get this worked out.
9/2: 181.6 πThis is better. Not sure if Iβll make my goal by the end of this round, but Iβm going to try. Last night, I tried not eating after 8pm. That was hard! Went for a walk this morning to get some exercise that has not been happening. 1.5mi Maybe if I get motivated, Iβll do it again this evening. Nothing exciting about food. I just made IP Chicken Tacos. The nice thing is, those are now on hand for a while. I also found some GF Almond Flour Tortillas that were pretty good. They still fall apart easily, but they didnβt taste gummy. Yay!
9/3: 181.3 πDown -0.3. Not exciting, but Iβm thinking, βIf I did that every day???β Today is book club and out to eat for dinner with a friend. I hope I hold it together. Not sure if any exercise will happen. On the plus side, I ended up with over 6K steps. I know this is baby steps compared to most of you, but it was a NSV for me!π
9/4: 181.2 πDown -0.1. Not exciting, but I guess itβs not πBook club last night was good. I only had a matcha latte with one of my usual protein bars. I didnβt go out to eat since my friend had an emergency. Today is lunch with the fam. Trying a new place. Nothing else planned.

@musicsax ~ just when I think MFP is working okβ¦it messes up again. I'm not sure if it's just permanently broken or if they keep trying to fix stuff which then breaks other stuffβ¦again! It's frustrating!

09/02-187.8 β (Trend Weight: 184.9)
09/03-185.2 β (Trend Weight: 184.9) Traveling today. I dread the lack of exercise/movement and what the scale will read tomorrow after restaurant food. I canβt control the exact ingredients so Iβll try to focus and exercise control of the portions. It feels like Iβll probably be playing catch up the entire month of September after the past few days of huge increases! Uphill battles but I donβt tire easily!
ππππ 09/04-188.0 β (Trend Weight: 185.2) I donβt need to know how travel/sitting and restaurants affect me. I already know from years of experience and documenting. So, I almost didnβt weigh today knowing that it wouldnβt be good but this time curiosity got the best of me. Iβve got a stretch of a couple of days before I travel for an overnight medical trip Monday/Tuesday next week. I hope to make the most of it, even with my DD and DGS arriving today, food-filled totes and all. Iβm pre-logging today as soon as Iβm done posting. Iβm a whole pound above my #7 which is my comfort zone. I wonβt be having it!

Iβm Amanda, 5β2β, 40F, in Appalachian Virginia (US)
NSG (tracked for prior day)
ππ»ββοΈ movement - 7/10 daysΒ
π« no alcohol - 7/10 daysSW Rnd 307- 130.8
RGW: 129.28/29 - 130.8 ππ»ββοΈ

9/3 - 130.0 ππ»ββοΈπ«
9/4 - 128.6 ππ»ββοΈ8/29 - 130.8 ππ»ββοΈ After my spiel about alcohol yesterday I drank probably half a bottle of wine last night with dinner (troublesome when I use it in a recipe and cook with wine in 2 ways) and I couldnβt sleep until 2am. This morning I subbed as a paraprofessional for a nonverbal autistic 3 year old (I am not trained to do this AT ALL) and I am just completely wiped. Going to try to do my assigned run this afternoon but also not going to stress about it. Very glad tomorrow is a rest day. I think weβre going hiking but at least thatβs easy at our family pace.
8/30 - 130.4 ππ»ββοΈπ« I made amazing homemade pizzas last night! Certainly not diet food but my family absolutely raved. My 6yo said it was the best food heβd had in his life. I squeezed a treadmill run in yesterday afternoon while the 4yo had a friend over. Slightly interrupted by rattling and whining but better than nothing. I had a good NSV last night: we had friends over that DH and I consider our drinking buddies and I fully abstained from drinking. I had a hop water, an NA beer, and a seltzer instead while we chatted by the fire. Zero fun lost and zero sleep lost!
8/31 - 132.2 ππ»ββοΈπ« Two restaurant meals yesterday on our family adventure. We had so much fun in a WV state park. We did a 3-mile hike around a lake. 4yo was whiny but the 6yo loved it! Today I have to do a super hard interval run and Iβll probably walk the dogs and do chores. My kids want a true βstay-home dayβ so it will be quiet. Happy Sunday!
9/1 - 132.0ππ»ββοΈπ« Not happy with this number but mostly Iβm grumpy that I seem to have injured my hip. Googling makes me suspect bursitis. I read the risk factors for bursitis from over-use: middle-aged, female, perimenopause, and overpronation. The only one of those I can fix is overpronation with new shoes. My shoes are nearly a year old and running shoe cushions donβt work great for more than 6 months. I also may try to mix up my cardio more. I was casually training for a half marathon next month just for something to work toward but Iβd never registered for it. I think Iβll just do a better mix of things. Peloton offers a suggested workout each day of the week so my plan is to follow those for a while. After some rest.Β
9/2 - 130.8. Didnβt move and did drink yesterday. DH decided he wanted to do hot dogs and deviled eggs yesterday so we invited our neighbors over for dinner and a fire. I stuck with light beer which I handled a lot better than the wine last week! Today Iβm planning to walk the dogs and maybe do a little yoga for active recovery. We biked with the kids to a playground yesterday and I found that my hip feels fine while biking, so thatβs good! It will be nice to have something to redirect my cardio attention to.Β
9/3 - 130.0 ππ»ββοΈπ« Okay yesterday I only ended up walking the dogs for exercise but Iβm counting it. Today I did yoga and a 20 minute Peloton ride. Whew it feels hard after a while away!
Today is DHβs and my 9th wedding anniversary! Weβre planning to go out to a concert with my mom coming to babysit. It will be nice to have a night out but obviously need to be mindful of what I consume, especially since I substitute teach at 7:30am tomorrow. Plus I really want to meet my goal this round since Iβm going to the beach next week.
9/4 - 128.6 ππ»ββοΈ Love to see this number but I know itβs just dehydration from drinking last night. Thatβs okay, hopefully Iβll see it for real soon enough! We had fun at the concert! I resisted a fried chicken sandwich in favor of a salad and sharing an order of chicken wings. Probably not much better but it felt a bit healthier that way. My drinks messed up my sleep (in cahoots with my 4 year old). Between that and substituting and parenting all day, I donβt think Iβm going to have any exercise today. Maybe I can talk the kids into a stroll down the street after dinner to try to get some steps anyway.Β
