So glad I didn't let Monday's (official recorded weight for challenges) destract me. Normally in the past if I had a 3 pound gain from one week to another I would have just thrown my hands up. Hence why in June 2009 my chart strated shooting up, not continuing down. I felt the gain had to be water retention because of all the walking I did at Ft Worth (probably 5 miles just on Friday and Saturday each). From my car to the barn where my son's heifer was stalled was 1/2 a mile according to my GreatTrainer app. I walked back and forth to my car numerous times, sometimes carrying heavy objects. I am taking a pedometer with me this weekend when we go to accurately record my steps (well as accurate as the pedometer might be). I also stood on concrete all weekend so by the time I got home Sunday I hardly could get rings on and off. Monday I watched everything I ate, had protein shakes for dinner, light protein filled lunch and then either a small portion of the dinner I made family or another protein shake. I cutoff my eating time at 8 everynight, with goal of 7 most.
Today I hit the 170s again. Barely there but sooooooo good to see that 179.8 again. Now hopefully over the course of February I can keep up the momentum and get back to the 160s by Spring Break. It will be a challenge as we have stock shows through February 12th, so early mornings, late night and quick foods during the day. Luckily there is walking so that will help as long as I keep the right foods around.
