☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ SW RND 294: 166.2 This is the year that I finally get it done 🚢 I steer my own ship Destination: Healthy BMI at 50 Well, there is my .4 inflammation from Tuesday’s workout. My Mom always said this and I am the same: I have a one day “lag” on my body’s reaction to a good/less-good day. If I overeat on a Saturday…

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ SW RND 294: 166.2 This is the year that I finally get it done 🚢 I steer my own ship Destination: Healthy BMI at 50 I was happy to see the scale down this morning! It flickered on 154.8 for a second and I got excited. I lifted heavy last night so I wasn’t sure if that would cause inflammation but it didn’t. Was…

🌷thank you as always for setting these up!

SW RND 293 -165.0 Goal: Becoming myself again 🚢 Ok this challenge wasn’t perfect. But I learned a lot about myself. And I feel stronger. Really the two biggest challenges for me are eating my emotions, and slipping with a few more carbs than what I need for weight loss. I do best on 1250-1400 calories, protein at least…

SW RND 293 -165.0 Goal: Becoming myself again 🚢 Hope everyone has a great Easter! I am not going to do this thing: this thing where I get stressed out and exhausted because of life circumstances and stop paying attention to my food. Stop walking, stop working out, because of difficult feelings. I am going to log today, I…

SW RND 293 -165.0 Goal: Becoming myself again 🚢 I am just going to take Maintenance for the Win this round…. 4/11-165 4/12- 165.8 🦞 4/13-DNW 4/14- 165.4 4/15-166.0 4/16-166.8 4/17- 165.0 4/18- 165.6 4/19 4/20

SW RND 293 -165.0 Goal: Becoming myself again 🚢 Back on track. I sat next to a plate of mini-eggs cookies alllllll day yesterday at work and didn’t eat a single one. Honestly they were tempting but also looked like kind of a big sugary mess I knew would just set me off…I knew it wasn’t worth it. Was rewarded by my weight…

SW RND 293 -165.0 Goal: Becoming myself again 🚢 Those of you paying attention will notice the scale is going in the wrong direction :-( I am not eating anything off plan, I have just been stressed and thus extra hungry! That weight gain is carrot sticks and plain almonds and low fat cheese…and stress. This is always the…

I am rewatching all of Star Trek Next Generation

SW RND 293 -165.0 Goal: Becoming myself again 🚢 Getting lazy with it, slipping a bit. I need to refocus on pre-tracking and prepping, and getting my walking in. I have Hashimoto’s autoimmune so when I get tired I really have to respect it - my body doesn’t respond well to “pushing through”. But that can translate into not…

SW RND 293 -165.0 Goal: Becoming myself again 🚢 Hormones. Didn’t weigh. The menopause process is rough some days. Proud of myself for resisting chocolate last night. Back on routine today! 4/11-165 4/12- 165.8 🦞 4/13-DNW 4/14- 165.4 4/15 4/16 4/17 4/18 4/19 4/20

SW RND 292: 167.2 Starting from the ground up 🌱 I am not a victim of my circumstances. I steer my own ship 🚢 I am really proud of how it went this round! 2 lbs down if I could keep up this pace I could be in sight of my healthy BMI goal by June! I know I am in the “honeymoon phase” of losing weight right now and more bumps…

SW RND 292: 167.2 Starting from the ground up 🌱I am not a victim of my circumstances.I steer my own ship 🚢 Really doing well at being super intentional with my food the past few days. I have ramped up my walking to twice a day which is really doable and giving me energy. Today is a rest day (sore throat) 4/1- 167.2…

count me in!

SW RND 292: 167.2 Starting from the ground up 🌱 I am not a victim of my circumstances.I steer my own ship 🚢 I feel much better than I did yesterday. I focused on getting in a bunch of walking (2 sessions) plus some restorative yoga, and really kept my carbs and salt in check. 4/1- 167.2 4/2-165.8 4/3- 166.4 4/4-166.0 4/5-…

SW RND 292: 167.2 Starting from the ground up 🌱 I am going to call yesterday what it was - a stress binge that wasn’t even worth it. My DH had been unemployed for ten months his industry has dried up. My daughter’s choir performance is coming up and I wasn’t sure how I was going to afford tickets. And I just felt rage. The…

SW RND 292: 167.2 Starting from the ground up 🌱 gardened for three hours yesterday - it felt great! Then friends came over and brought fresh bagels and I had one (worth it!) plus one sugar free hard iced tea. Scale is up which just shows how much inflammation and water retention those foods create in my body. Will be…

SW RND 292: 167.2 Starting from the ground up 🌱 Super proud of myself for resisting Friday night alcohol! Allowed myself a few chocolate chips as a treat. Really liking this ten day format it’s a lot less intimidating to take it in little chunks like this. Still getting over the flu a bit. I hope to start incorporating…

SW RND 292: 167.2 Starting from the ground up 🌱 Yesterday I lost it on some shrimp chips on the work snack table. Stress + that stupid snack table are my worst enemy. I can’t get rid of it I can’t avoid it I have to resist it. Super proud of myself that last night I went to get myself a little “cheat” candy from the kids’…
