Chipping away at weight is exhausting. I could bump up to the 150s in like a day of bad eating.... My family went out last night and got calories galore - pasta, pizza, french fries, burgers, sodas, alcoholic beverages. I got a salad and a side of veggies (which was great by the way) and drank water.... oh well... them's the breaks.

Happy healthy weekends to us all :

GOAL: 150 at the end of the month!

For the most part I would say I was better than I usually am on the weekends... LOTS of walking, 2 hour bike ride, one 2 "cheat meals" (BBQ ribs, mac & cheese for 1 meal and then a turkey thanksgiving sandwich for another) but overall I didn't go overboard. If I can just be a little better each weekend I would call that a victory. Another positive note: 1.4 down from last Monday, so yay for that!

Happy Monday all!!!!!

Definitely a happy moment- but I think it only works once! lol!

Again - I am defying the laws of physics! How to remain exactly the same weight for four days at such a calorie deficit (I track religiously now) and fairly low carb... WITH some exercising (not enough to cause any significant water retention, just yoga and walking/VERY light jogging). This is just an observation. As my recent mantra has been "it is what it is"

happy monday guys! (I'm gonna live this lie until mondays don't suck anymore lol).

I'm expecting some water weight to pile on during this week... that's after the water weight from the carbs I had this weekend go. I might be kissing 125 goodbye for a bit haha.

Expecting TOM any day now so I really hope that's why I've gone up & it isn't permanent damage from this past week. Feeling a bit down since this is the weight I was at the beginning of the month & I've just bounced around thus far. I'm still going for 150 as my goal for the end, but I reckon I most likely won't get it, but I'm not giving up yet.

Boo all around. Hurt my hip again, woke up feeling flabby and gross, ambushed by early TOM... argh! We had a bit of a crazy weekend with lots of kids' activities and today I got the exciting but stressful news that my mother has a buyer for her house and will be moving out here, probably in the next 6 weeks! I'm excited to have her move here but the process is going to be stressful for her and for me.

So I basically ate no meals and a steady stream of random food all day. Not awesome. Tomorrow is another day!
