 Prior Week Recap

01/22 - 123.0 - well that's a welcome sight.   I'd like to see that more. 

01/23 - 122.8 - YES  that's awesome.   Now let's stay around here for Weigh-in

01/24 - 121.8 - Holy Shit!   New Low!   YES!   3 Days left before the end of the month. 

01/25 - 122.6 - Still good. 

01/26 - 123.6 - Up but still under 124 so that's a win.  Hell Week begins today

01/27 - 122.6 - I have SUCH a headache.

Week 77 - 01/28

Weight this am - 122.4 

Much better.  I'm ending the month almost where I started.   Not really seeing any measurement changes though.  Which is really disappointing.  Especially my waist.   I was really hoping for that to shift even a little bit.   Oh well.

Week 76 + Prior Week Recap

 Prior Week Recap

01/15 - 124.2 - sigh.   I would REALLY like it to stay under 124.

01/16 - 124.2 - but apparently that isn't happening. 

01/17 - 124.4 - wrong way.   Being patient is hard.  

01/18 - 124.4 - grrr.   Yoga day was lovely.   Got to perform at Readers Theatre...always such fun

01/19 - 123.8 - well that's more like it.  I really want it to stay under 124 to stay within the final 5.  Upped my weights today for exercise this week.   Pushing myself a bit. 

01/20 - 124.6 - well fuck.   That wasn't supposed to happen.   

Week 76 - 01/21

Weight this am - 124.6

Well damn.   I'm not thrilled that it went up this week.   Hopefully something shifts with the start of tech week.   ugh.   I know it's probably muscle but I really want to stay under the 65lbs down mark...especially after such good progress last month.   I know it's all because of working out and that I really am focused on measurements but damn, the scale needs to give me SOMEthing.

Week 75 + Prior Week Recap

 Prior Week Recap 

01/08 - 123.6 - much less sore today and I see the weight gain from muscles retaining water is going away.  Leg day definitely helped with soreness and Pilates day today was awesome. 

01/09 - 123.6 - I can live with this for right now.   Cardio Day

01/10 - 123.2 - Nice!  Dirty 30 today - another whole body workout.  

01/11 - 123.6 - and right back.   Apparently I'll be here for a bit.  Yoga day today.

01/12 - 123.0 - Yesterday I finished a full week of exercise.   Today I start Week 2

01/13 - 124.2 - Ah, the reaction to the exercise.   Hopefully it's back down tomorrow.

Week 75 - 01/14

Weight this am - 124.2 - Well....at least it's not a gain.   Just need to remind myself that this month I'm just looking at measurements.  Although I'd really like to get back down to 122.2 so there isn't a gain over last month

Week 74 + Prior Week Recap

 Prior Week Recap

01/01 - 122.4 - Up a bit as expected.   Hoping to hit 120 this month.  Need to figure out my exercise plans and then I'll check back in. 

01/02 - 124.2 - OOOF   That one hurts.  Especially after yesterday.  But it's lower than my highest last week. 

01/03 - 123.6 - Better.  I think I'm adjusting to Dry January.   I've been sleeping like it's going out of style recently.

01/04 - 123.4 - Improvement.   Ceiling should go up today.   Hopefully it works.  Haven't started exercise yet but I feel like I need to adjust to no alcohol first.  Planning for tomorrow. 

01/05 - 123.4 - same.   Started 21 Day Fix - Day 1 - Ceiling is up.  Hoping to start on it if I have the energy

01/06 - 123.6 - 21 Day Fix Day 2 - the soreness has started.   One of our bonus kids will be moving in with us for a bit so I haven't gotten to ceiling yet.  

Week 74 - 01/07

Weight this am - 124.2 

OOOF - Although I should expect it with how sore my muscles are.   Hate seeing progress go backwards but I've had several weeks recently where my low weights fell on weigh-in day - so I guess it's time for it to be a high weight day.   Definitely NOT my favorite way to end the week but it was definitely expected. 

I am super sore right now.   The good thing is that the soreness is in all the places that I want to tone so the exercises are targeting the right spots.   This should work itself out over the next couple of days.  

We'll see what the next week brings
