Good morning, Ladies. It’s Monday, so I guess my diet starts today? I’m kidding, but February turned out to be beast. I didn’t have time or energy for exercise, didn’t stay on track with diet enough to lose anything, BUT I comfortably maintained, so that is a win. I had a couple of things I had to dress up for last month…

I needed to take break from exercising last week. I was too exhausted and trying to exercise, was just using up the time and energy I really needed for the other obligations that were piling up. I didn’t intend to also take a diet break but I ended up doing that too. We celebrated my husband‘s 50th birthday last weekend.…

I did end up where I was hoping to weight-wise but I barely exercised and did no strength training. My diet was fine during the week but on the weekend we had Indian food, Korean food,…

I posted an update but now I don’t see it so I apologize in advance if it shows up later as a duplicate. 5’4” 46y/o 1/01: 137.2 1/03: 136.6 1/05: 136.6 1/10: 137.0 1/12: 136.6 1/15: 137.6 1/18: 135.8 I’m excited to be in the 135 range. I didn’t feel up to exercising yesterday. I was on track with diet, but I’m not sure…

@SherryRueter I love those salad kits too. I add stuff like you did. Tomato, cucumber, olives, romain heart, boiled egg whites. Works so well for me. Was on track with diet, exercise and water yesterday. The kids had a snow day today so I got some extra time in the gym. Also on track with diet and water so far.

I didn’t drink enough water either. I didn’t eat badly, but I didn’t eat at a deficit for at least 2 of those days. I’m back on track today. It’s…

5’4” 46y/o 1/01: 137.2 1/03: 136.6 1/10: 137.0 Water and diet have been on track this week. I missed my exercise on Monday for semi-valid reasons, but did get it in yesterday and today. Knowing I’m going to report back here on my progress is helpful.

Well, I crashed and burned on Friday. There was a whole lot of stress before and during the event. I ended up having several drinks and felt queasy all day yesterday. I did not feel like eating much or drinking as much water as I was supposed to yesterday, but I did get my exercise done. *Edited because I typed out a whole…

5’4” 46y/o 1/01: 137.2 1/03: 136.6 1/05: 136.6 I’ve been on track with all my goals so far. I have a formal event tonight at a fancy venue. I don’t know what the food will be, but last time I was there it was amazing. I will just be mindful of portion sizes and try to only eat what I want to and not nibble things I don’t…

5’4” 46y/o 1/01: 137.2 1/03: 136.6 I know it’s only day three, but so far so good this month. Diet, exercise, water, AF: check. This morning it struck me yet again how much better I feel when I wake up and I’m not still bloated from the day before because I made good food choices.

@SherryRueter I’m not great with knowing who is who online either, but sadly I’m worse in person. I ran into someone at the grocery store the other day and we exchanged pleasantries, but it didn’t come to me until the middle of the night who she was and where I knew her from. And that’s the norm for me 😁

@SparkSpringtime69 i don’t have a problem fitting the calories in, but I find it is bloating, constipating, and keeping me up at night the older I get. I was a little on the fence about doing the whole month dry because I have a formal event at the end of this week and I usually like to have a cocktail to ease my social…

5’4” 46y/o 1/01: 137.2 Happy New Year, Ladies! Goals: Exercise 5-6 times a week Eat reasonable calories Drink 64oz of water a day Dry January

135.8! I haven’t seen that number since April. I realize looking at my numbers for this month that it looks like it’s a lot of weight at once, but I started at 42lbs in Aug so the scale just now registering my consistency.

5’4” 47 y/o 11/03: 137 11/05: 136.2 I tried to post on Friday, but the app updated in the middle of posting so I gave up. I got all my days of exercise in last week, though it wasn’t how I wanted. I’m having to baby my knees right now, so running was less. I drank extra water this week and it really made a difference with…

@Kitri2020 mil spouse here too :)

5’4” 47 y/o 10/11: 138.2 10/19: 137.8 10/25: 136.8 I’ve done well with exercise. Traveling threw my diet off a little, but not too badly. The salty snacks on the plane did make my face bloated in all the photos, so that was awesome 🙄 But the day before we left my husband gave an unsolicited comment that he noticed I’ve…

5’4” 47 y/o 10/11: 138.2 10/19: 137.8 I probably haven’t drunk as much water as I should have, but I have drunk more. And more is better than less. I haven’t been perfect with my diet, but not too bad. I missed a run last week. I’m on track for exercise this week, but we leave for the airport at 11am tomorrow and I’m…

5’4” 47 y/o 10/11: 138.2 Goals for this month: exercise 5 days a week and eat reasonable portions of nutritious food. And because I was inspired by you guys, drink more water. Water is mostly what I drink, but I always forget how much of it I need to drink. Last couple of weeks were a little in the weeds. I had to take…

5’4” 47 y/o 9/04: 139.4 9/11: 138.6 9/14: 137.2 9/20: 136.6 It’s finally happening! I wasn’t feeling well last week so I missed a day of strength training and was too busy for my run the next day. I did take an almost 4 hour hike in the mountains with my sister on Sunday. It wasn’t a difficult hike, but it was almost 4,000…

5’4” 47 y/o 9/04: 139.4 9/11: 138.6 9/14: 137.2 I’m still not feeling great so today’s run was a slog, but I did it. And did strength training yesterday. And finally a woosh! I knew it was in there somewhere… thanks to Happy Scale for keeping me humble though. Still shows my average rate as less than .5lb/wk.

5’4” 47 y/o 9/04: 139.4 9/11: 138.6 I haven’t been feeling well so I only got two and a half-ish runs done last week and no strength training. I did finish my running pacer program last week so I started it over today with a faster speed. Now that I have momentum on my runs, I REALLY want to get the momentum on strength…

5’4” 47 y/o 9/4: 139.4 Got my run done today. I appreciate the momentum, but it’s annoying that I’ve only graduated from super slow to moderately slow. It takes me roughly an hour to do 5K. I’m working on increasing my speed this month. My diet has been decent but my husband will be traveling for a few weeks this month and…
