Day 10: Weigh-In Day!

Image result for adult woman weighing in

It's weigh-in day! Yes, I know I've weighed in every single day since I started this journey 9 days ago, but this is "official" weigh-in day. At some point, I really need to stop self-reporting every single day, and maybe today's that day. Let's see if I can resist until next Friday. Anyway, drumroll please...

 165.6!!!!

 That's pretty good, I'd say, considering my starting weight on January 1st was 176. More than a pound a day. You know that's going to slow down. Still, getting to 160 by the time of the Hungarian Ball on January 25th would be something. We'll see. That would be just 2.5 pounds/week till then. 

 Tonight will be my biggest healthy eating challenge yet, as we are going to the Warmses where alcohol flows and snacks/dinner/dessert are always copious. I'm going to try to begin eating today a bit later so that I can keep eating later into the evening. We'll see! If I can delay my first shake till 1, I could technically keep eating until 9. (Scientifically, I am not sure if that's how it works, but I am not a scientist, and it seems logical to me!)

Day 31: Another weigh in

As you can see, I am writing a lot less on this blog. No real reason, other than it's really just same old, same old. Eating less, exercising a lot, yada yada yada. If I had major insights, I would certainly share (I do have an insight about gummy bears, as it turns out--stay tuned). Anyway, today is weigh-in day, and I am pleased to say that I am down to 160.4. So I lost 2.2 pounds this week. Seems pretty good. Tomorrow, I'll take my February photo and do my February measurements. If Miki can find the measuring tape he has misplaced. GRRRR.

Pandemic Day 2

Image
Well, not too much to post today. I'm here to keep myself honest! I did manage to shed 1.8 pounds between yesterday and today, and that's pretty good. I met with my book group on Zoom and had a glass of wine I wasn't intending to have. What are you going to do when you're with your book group?  I'm also sore as can be. Every single muscle hurts. You know, I thought I was keeping up with occasional weight lifting, squats, push-ups, crunches, etc. But apparently, I was not. Yesterday I did a video, recommended by Jane, a classmate of mine in my class at the Y, which hasn't met since March 13th, for pandemic reasons (I ran into her at the Rally for Black Lives in Fountain Square, where I was standing with Nora). I mentioned that I missed class because I never push myself as hard as Alison does. And she mentioned that she thought she was pushing herself even harder by using PopSugar workouts from YouTube. So, yesterday I did this one: Ouch. There are so m...

Pandemic check-in

Well, it's been nearly four months since I have checked in. One week after my last check-in, everything changed. COVID-19 meant my kids were sent home on March 13th, and that was the last time they would go back to high school for the year. My last day at the Y before it closed was March 15th. My job stopped having face to face meetings, and my spring quarter class suddenly became an online class. Miki began working from home as well.  On March 13th, my last recorded weigh-in date, I weighed 152.4, meaning I had lost 24 pounds since January 1st. I was riding high and looked pretty good, if I do say so myself. And for weeks, I tried to keep the momentum. Miki and I started running (yuck). I was lifting weights at home in order to stay strong. But I also started eating more. A daily glass of wine was de riguer. We stopped running, for the most part, and started walking instead. Long walks all over Evanston, but still--much less cardio than I had been used to. Long story short: I...
