Highs for the week

Every day I try to think of my high and low for the day. The high helps me focus in on the positive things that happened during the day and the low helps me acknowledge a pattern.
What was your high this week? (Diet related or not) Here are mine...
The scale showed a 3 pound loss this morning after 8+ weeks of no movement at all.
When I went to yoga the instructor was going to ask my fitness level but stopped herself and said, "well, you're clearly athletic." I don't think I've ever had anyone think I looked athletic. Afterward she told me that she was impressed by my ability to keep up with the class and my natural ability to be aware of my body. These things made me feel really good.
Your turn - let's celebrate your highs for the week!

A 1.2lb loss after what I thought was a blow-out weekend was my high. That and going out with the girls and managing to eat a salad with salmon and feeling really satisfied and good afterwards.0

Going to my follow up with my endo, and the quizzical look and tone in her voice when she said "you lost 22 lbs"
My bf hugged me this morning and used to always grab a handful of back fat
he finally realized that was gone and after saying "you're so cute" said "you're so skinny too"
I cut back on logging this week and each morning I weigh in the same, even after days I feel like I had too much carbage0 -
This week's highlight for me was at an all-comer's track meet on Monday. My daughter sprained her ankle about a month ago, and Monday was the first time she was well enough to run again. It was good to see her back in the game.

High: I planked longer than I thought I could last evening. As a person who used to love to exercise and has been resisting it for some time, it felt good to accomplish a physical goal.

The high for me this week was spending my son's birthday with him - just the two of us, eating food I cooked for him, shopping, playing role playing games...0

I realized I reached my lowest weight in over a year..Yea!0

Yay! @slimzandra. I just peeked back and I am at the lowest weight in at least 2 years. I am 45 lbs lighter than this time last year and it seems so effortless.0

Two pound loss, heavy ketosis, and tonight's dinner. Man, it was good! Panfried chicken tenders with mustard mixed into the drippings. The whole house smells yummy.
Non LCHF related, I was able to have two cups of coffee this week with minor pain on the second cup so my gastritis is healing! Nixing it for a few more days.0 -

Yay! Same here, many years for me. I was just thinking that earlier today. I haven't been this "skinny" (I am not skinny) in maybe a decade!

PMS and a terribly stressful time at work...but I've stuck to my macros and I'm still losing. I haven't really been tempted to cope by eating! I'll take that as a win!0

Love this comparison! Very good.
It's a website. It matches you to what you lost and give you a graphic. It's free. Ilostwhat.com I love it. I make it my laptop background, haha.0 -
Jessica and toadqueen- Congrats! So awesome. I lost half a canoe or 76 Bananas! That's actually funny because I used to eat them all the time and I haven't had one in 5 months.
My high today? Got my first office compliment today!! And I actually had a normal dialogue about it!
Friend: Have you lost some weight?
Me: "Yes, I have a little. Thanks for noticing."
Friend: It shows.
Me: "Cool." (walks away thinking pretty cool, cool, cool..)

I am now in the lowest weight I have been for 20 years
Awesome!!
Train wreck in personal relationship and trying to remember food never solves problems.
I'm trying to just spend a little extra time on the treadmill
Seems to be working. This is a way of eating that lasts thru the ups and downs

- Terrible hot week. Walk/hiked in it and KILLED IT.
- Got stung by some kind of evil wasp and had a terrible softball-sized reaction where the sting was. Itches like the devil. And burns. Didn't go eat my stress and feelings.
- Caught the Crud my kids are passing around. I was healthy enough that I haven't come down with the full-blown thing. I just feel a little tired and lousy instead.
- DH brought poison oak into the house. I found it. Oh, yay more itchy. Still not stress eating.
- Got smacked with heavy diet fatigue. Instead of giving up, I moved cals up to maintenance for a diet-break. And am happy.
Despite the "life" that interfered this week, it has been a good week, hasn't it? 0 -

Oh and apparently I've lost 6 big ol' watermelons. 95lb
Doesn't sound that impressive... oh well. lol0 -
Finished my first month with intermittent fasting (36-60 hour weekly fasts), yes, it CAN be done, and it increased my typical weight loss from 4 to 6 lbs per month. My weight is at a 12 year low, I feel great, and I'm just 2 lbs away from a 20 year low.0

A coworker stopped me this week and asked me how much weight I've lost. First time anyone has noticed a difference in my appearance.0

1 full week back on keto w/ no cheating as of today. I posted a few weeks ago about having fallen off the wagon. I had a trip for work two weeks ago that changed my routine drastically for a week and I wasn't able to stay on keto during that. I got back on as soon as I got home though, back into my comfortable routine, so far so good.0

My high for the week was having a conversation with my T2 sister that has been reluctant to consider making any food changes for health that ended with her agreeing to watch fathead and she sounded quite fed up with being sick.
I also learned that she has started medication she was previously against. The tides may be changing.0 -
My high for the week was coming home from a three week trip to go camping and see my family in another state and I didn't gain. Typically every year when I go I gain about five-seven pounds. And the last two days I have lost!! Yay!!!0

Loved Fathead. If she can watch it I bet it will change her mind.

I hope so! She's very stubborn!0 -
My husband was for me doing low carb and against me eating high fat till he watched it. He's a nurse and it went against everything he's ever been taught. Flipped him tho.

Just got notified tonight that I am hired for my dream job! I hope to start in two weeks. It has to be negotiated.
Spent last weekend with my new boyfriend at the beach - this weekend we are going away to a lake and mountain resort.
I began walking daily as part of the August challenge and I feel wonderful! I am stronger than I thought.
My commute did not hurt until early afternoon, instead of immediately and I did not have to take a pain pill.
I believe my cup runneth over!!
