I am posting today without much data since my April data hasn't happened yet.

I am still reviewing the data that finished up the month of March. I have now officially lost over 10% of my body weight since I started tracking in July 2024. I am definitely in tortoise mode (slow and steady) but it is happening.

Thank you for starting us for this new month, Lady M.

I'm working on my pelvic floor exercises again.

Tuesday: I did my exercises today - 1 heart

I'm traveling this month for two weeks total with 4 days of driving (not in a row!). So I'll do my best to post when I'm out-of-town but I make no guarantees.
I do a strength training program with my girls but we no longer workout together on a video call, but we are still doing it together but separately.
In the evenings, I do a combo: 5 min warm up, 1-6 sessions of HIIT (30/90 - sessions increase weekly), followed by finishing out a total of 45 min at Zone 2, ending with a step down cool down until I've reached an hour.
Macros depend on what cycle day I'm on: ketobiotic days are 75g pro/50g carb/lots of fats; feasting days are 50g pro/150g carb/60% cal from fat.
Tuesdays are rough getting a lot done due to DH's standing appointments and some weeks he has more, so there's grace to miss - it's easier, though, when I've been consistent to be okay with it.

Strength Training: 1/20


Walking: 1/20


Following Macros: 1/30


The following are for tracking purposes for the moment to see where I want to improve.
Grounding *
AM Sunlight *
Rebounding *

Sleep hours avg: 6:50

Fitbit congratulated me today for a 25 lb weight loss. That surprised me because my spreadsheets focus on the average numbers which doesn't show that many pounds were lost. However, i will celebrate any small step along this journey so today I am celebrating this accomplishment according to Fitbit way of keeping data.

Losing weight has a mental part that I keep bumping up against. It takes some focused effort to keep making progress. Before I step on the scale each morning, I mentally tell myself what weight I would like to be by the end of the month. It helps me to have that number established. I would be head-over-heels happy to lose 1 lb a week consistently. That hasn't been happening consistently. So I have to come to grips with what I can accomplish. I can lose weight every month even when I hit a plateau the weight continues to reduce at a slower pace. I don't always get the 1 lb a week dream weight loss amount but I can be successful in consistently losing weight. Keeping mentally engaged is a daily battle.
