145.4 Up 3 pounds in the last 3 weeks since posting. Went off the rails for two weeks. Kind of a depressed phase. Then decided to join WW because long ago I’d had success with it. I gained weight because it felt so restrictive and I followed it for 5 days, lost no weight, said F this, this isn’t sustainable and rebounded…

142.0. Back down 1.8. Woke up and exercises twice this week before work. And focused on eating more veggies. It helped. This coming week. I’m going to drink double the water each day (64-80 oz) and go for 4 days before work. 2 cardio, 2 weights. This will be a push, but I’m ready for it.

143.0. Up 2 pounds. Not surprising. Poor choices and my period. Just frustrated. But I know that if I can adjust some of my reactions to stress and difficult feelings it will help. So I’m going to try a new therapist Monday. Even though I didn’t want to, I had the attitude of—Yes! I dropped weight. Now I can relax on it a…

141.6. Down 1.4. This is the lowest I’ve been in the last 10 weeks! My partner was here visiting which oddly enough helped me not emotional eat as much. I also made sure to drink more water and pack more veggies for work. I even ran before work one day and then we went on a hike this weekend. Usually my weight buoys back…

143 up.8 I just keep bobbing around this spot. Have been for the last two years. I can see why, just having a hard time making consistent changes. My work as a teacher is utterly exhausting. It takes all of my energy. So I need to wake up to intentionally exercise before work or it won’t happen. I did it one day this week.…

142.2 down 1.2. This surprised me because this week was odd. But I’ll take it! Luckily my job is very active but I know that adding in full body strength training will be really good for my body, especially in my late 40’s. So that’s my next goal. I’m going grocery shopping today and I’m going to wash and prep my veggies…

143.4 down .4 That is surprising because I didn’t pay attention to my eating and had some emotional eating evenings. I’m really struggling with sleep lately. Not sure if it’s stress or perimenopause or both. I’ll be starting the 3rd week of teaching this school year (my 17th year) and it’s hitting different. I’m absolutely…

143.8 down 1.4. I averaged 13,000 steps a day teaching WITHOUT any official exercising. No wonder I’m tired! But I did better job of not emotionally eating this week. So I’m very proud of that. I’m going to focus on all of my water this week and getting sleep.

145.2 Up 3 pounds. I wasn’t going to post but I’m going to be honest with myself. Yesterday it wasn’t as high but here we are. I know exactly why. It’s not surprising to me at all. 1. Major work stress with the school year starting. 2. Not prioritizing myself on my to do lists at all because it felt like there was too much…

142.2. Yippee! Down a total of 3.4 so far. Really trying to focus on small changes and choices so I don’t overwhelm myself. This past week I’m trying to practice pausing and checking in with my body to see if I’m actually hungry. I think it’s helped a lot.

143.8 (down 1.2) Couple of things I’m noticing. It’s small decisions that help me. Big sweeping intense goals feel good in the moment but the intense ups have intense downs. It’s too much added pressure. But you know what I can do? When my kids want to go get slushies on a hot day I get a Diet Pepsi instead. When I feel…

145.0. Down .8 this week. I will continue to be consistent. I normally try to be super intense (which always backfires) so consistency is key (at least 80% if the time). Something I’m noticing about myself is that I’m very hard on myself and also impatient with the process. I’ll do things like scroll through old pictures…

145.8. Up .2. I started out strong. Did 3-4 workouts, tracked my food, stepped on the scale midweek and it was up, got mad and frustrated so I went off the rails for the rest of the week. Stopped tracking, ate junk…kind of a general f it all attitude. I’ve done that before. So my reflection is PATIENCE. I put pressure on…
