5/28 93.1kg Night shift struggling to eat all my calories but made it to group Training!
5/29 92.8kg have been losing too quick need to try and meet calorie target, appetites back now my colds gone.
5/30 93.5kg first upwards blip. Was waiting for it. End of TOM and post night shift always put me at my heaviest for a few days. Another 5 days and I think it will settle down again
5/31 93.1 kg personal training yesterday, can’t decide what to make for dinner tonight
6/01 92.8kg and the scales have headed back down, quicker than I thought. Had the best cookie yesterday. Big socialising weekend ahead may be a challenge food wise.
6/02 92.1kg -700g overnight seems like a blip. Had friends over for dinner, they bought nice champagne so I indulged but stayed under maintenance
6/03 92.3kg yo-yo up and down this week, glad I’m using happy scale to watch the trend. Did well at the 18th party yesterday was under maintenance. BILs 40th bday today, aim for under maintenance then back to normal Monday.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 Monday - 200.8 I finally slept thru the night last night for the first time in a whole week with a hacking cough. Woohoo. Nice not to see a huge jump after a night out. I was ravenous today so I just ate. Homemade breakfast sandwhich, some flat iron steak for a snack, and homemade matzo ball soup for dinner - which will also be lunch for a few days too. Goal for this round is to maintain at or under 199 which is 1 week or so ahead of schedule. Leaving for mini vacation at the end of this round, good motivator. Need to get a bathinsuit!
5/29 Tuesday - 202.4 - Back to my pre-sickness weight. Thats fine - I'd rather have my health and 2 pounds than that miserable cold for one more day. DH is on the verge of getting it now, lots of EmergenC, bone broth, and encouraging him to drink lots of water. Knock on wood he can beat it! Having a hard time drinking my smoothie this morning, but it will be done. Time to start downing water myself! Leftover soup for lunch, popcorn and blueberry applesauce for snack. No idea on what to have for dinner yet, still pretty exhausted so I need to make a plan so I don't end up eating convenience foods. I took out some ground beef, so maybe koren beef?
5/30 Wednesday - 201.8 - Half way thru the week! DH is home sick today - fingers crossed that this shall pass a little more quickly for him. I was 202 at first waking, then 201.8 about a half hour later. I was weighing later in the day when I was sick because I was sleeping in - and after seeing @tiabirdie56 show how her weights flucuate in the morning I wonder If my body operates in a similar way. I'll keep an eye on that as I continue my journey. NSV last night - went bathing suit shopping and found something flattering and confidence boosting! It even matches the sun shirt I already have. I spent a little more than I would have liked (again painfully frugal) but its a Lands End suit so I'm hoping to get a lot of use out of it this summer and it will hold up. The past summer I've been shy about swimming up at my MIL's because hanging out in a bathing suit is not something I enjoy - so I got a swim skirt and a modest tankini top and plan to ENJOY the lake and swim more this year. Hopefully the suit fits thru the summer, I guess if it doesn't that would be okay too! As long as its too big not too small! I will try on the top again tonight and make sure I don't need to size down, my recommended size online was a 14 but I purchased a 16 - but I'm notorious for wearing my clothes too big. I did make korean beef last night - tired and still not feeling 100% is not a time to try a new recipe! I also had some graham crackers and chocolate hummus, what a yummy dessert! Didnt pack a lunch today, only breakfast and snacks - thought I didnt have anything but I should have brought a veggie burger. I'll be sure to take that tomorrow! Maybe panera for lunch? Didnt take anything out of the freezer for dinner and with DH not feeling well I have a feeling I may be picking up Pho for him...we shall see. The things I can control today are to drink lots of water, make better portioned healthy choices, and to be kind to myself thru this process.
5/31 Thursday - 202.0 - Dinner last night was thrown off track because DH ate the leftovers I was planning on for dinner for his lunch. No big deal, I'm glad he ate something. I didn't have much of anything ready to cook (all meats frozen) but I did have a frozen pizza and french fries calling my name. I checked to make sure my portion would fit my caloric allotment - I went slightly over carbs and a bit over sodium because I had panera for lunch. I couldnt figure out why I was such a carb monster yesterday. I stepped on the scale this morning and was a bit dissapointed in myself and the number. *TMI warning - if womanly functions bother you feel free to scroll past! But TOM unexpectedly arrived and explained everything! Water retention and carb cravings are the norm for me a day or two before and a day or two during. A NSV for me as a woman with PCOS - my cycle has regulated to 28 days on the dot! I have a follow up with my endocrinologist next week, so I'm excited to be able to report some good news. I was ranging anywhere from 35-50 days previous to changing my diet. I'm hoping to start a family in the next 2 years or so, so this is one of my biggest goals is improving my reproductive health! I truly was not expecting TOM to come until next week (which would have sucked while vacationing but it always seems to happen that way without fail so I was planning for it). First day is still proving to be incredibly painful - hopefully that will improve as well as I continue my journey.
6/01 Friday -202.0 Just hanging out here. Fine by me FOR NOW. Definitely didnt get enough water yesterday. It was a pretty emotional day overall and I didnt crawl into a bowl of mac and cheese so thats a win. I made an old favorite recipe, taco noodle caserole. I used recipe builder, logged it, and ate an appropriate portion that fit my calories for the day. At lunch with a friend at panera I stuck with an order which I knew has worked in the past while still tasting food and filling me up. I'm a hurting unit today with crazy cramps and my lower back is aching. But I made my smoothie and packed lunch. May order out tonight - it's Friday, our usual order out night, but I'll do my best to be reasonable with my choices to fit in my day. A busy weekend ahead - hopefully seeing a house prospect Saturday, DH needs to shop for vacation clothes, lots of prep to get the house ready while we're away, and get the dog out for a hike. I'll need to drink my morning smoothie (need more flax milk) make sure to drink lots of water and have a positive attitude!
6/02 Saturday - 200.8 - surprised by that number this morning as last night we went out for fried seafood, and I was a bottomless pit upon returning home and ate 6 fig newtons! But, I logged it all as accurately as I could and it wasn't as much of a bust as I thought! Nonetheless I haven't eaten like that in a while. We also took a nice little hike after work so that was good! A busy day today checking out the house. Didn't eat breakfast, too many nerves and no flax milk for smoothie. Late lunch grilled meat and veggies, dinner was a homemade cajun chicken Alfredo that fit into my day nicely. An awesome new recipe that I will definitely use again, and could certainly modify to be lighter depending on needs. Ran errands all afternoon and I'm pooped! Need to make some good choices tomorrow at the grocery store, some meal prep for a short week but not too much because going away Thursday night and don't want to be wasteful. Excited for a good night's sleep!!

I'm putting the Keto experiment on hold because, in a lot of ways, I'm not feeling all that good right now. I'm going to stay at a much lower carb intake, integrating some fruits and vegetables while continuing to focus on eating healthy fats (instead of the crap I used to eat). I'm going to stay away from processed sweets and crappy processed snack foods.

Goals for this round: maintain current weight (do not go over 195) as I take as break from from Keto. Track my BF% consistently.
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 = 192.2 (-1.8), BF% = 15.5. I got started a little later than usual today, so this might not be perfectly accurate, but it should be pretty close. Last night wasn't impulsive. I'm definitely taking a break from Keto. I'm trying to decide which carb number I should shoot for. I'm thinking 100, but I'm going to do some reading. I wasn't very consistent last round with tracking my body fat percentage. I'm going to commit to tracking it every day.
5/29 = 194.2 (+2.0), BF% = 15.7. Got a little too "snacky" yesterday. Ate when I wasn't hungry. Allowed myself to eat a couple of things I haven't been able to eat in the past few weeks. Went about 300 calories over maintenance. That being said, as mentioned yesterday, my weight likely wasn't all that accurate when I weighed myself yesterday (weighed myself at the "correct time" today). My goal for today is to remember only to eat when I feel hungry. I tracked everything yesterday, so that was good. I'm feeling okay. This is actually not feeling like a cause for alarm. Rather, it's a signal that I need to be paying attention to how I'm feeling and what I'm eating right now.
5/30 = 193.8 (-0.4), BF% = 15.6. I was much more under control yesterday. Ate with my macros, no crazy binges, stayed away from sweets for the most part (and slightly under calories). I decided to adjust my weekly goal to 1/2 a pound per week (from 1 pound), as I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight.
5/31 = 193.8 (no change), BF% = 15.6. I felt like I ate a little heavy during yesterday, but after tracking everything I think I was slightly below maintenance. I had a fantastic dinner that I normally would have completely scarfed in one sitting. This time, however, I ate half of it, I did it mindfully, and I have half of it today for either lunch or dinner (probably dinner). I have basketball tonight for the first time in a week, and I'm going to go to the gym as well. I feel pretty good that I have been able to maintain since putting Keto on hold, particularly since I haven't worked out for the past week. Full disclosure regarding my decision to put Keto on hold; it actually didn't feel that hard to do. While that's generally a good thing, I tend to get into a groove when something is working well, which makes me less vigilant/questioning. I have some questions regarding the long-term health effects of the Keto lifestyle, and I need to do some reading before I get back into it. Can you remind me of some of your favorite Keto resources @quiltingjaine ?
6/01 = 194.4 (+0.6), BF% = 15.7. I'm not 100% sure why my weight is up a bit, but I'm going shopping today to get my butt back on Keto. "The Magic Pill" was pretty damned inspiring. Played basketball last night and went to the gym, and get pretty good at both. My back signed up a bit, though it feels okay this morning.
6/02 = 195.4 (+1.0), BF% = 15.7. I had a busy day today, so I'm posting late. I thought yesterday went pretty well, even if the scale didn't agree with me. My chiropractor was able to sneak me in for an appointment, which was great, because I needed it badly. I'm a little confused by my weight gain, but I'm going to try to just let it go.

5/28 199.9 Happy dance!!! Great way to start off this round.
5/29 199.5 Well…happily the scale did not reflect the snacks I ate yesterday…..something I haven’t really done since the beginning of April. A small kit kat bar, potato chips, and fudge cookies. However, we’ve been helping one of our daughters move the past several days…so I’ve been working my tail off (and hopefully my belly, too….lol). But it’s back to sticking with my calorie goal today.
5/30 199.6
5/31 199.0 This was after I ate a bowl of homemade spaghetti and meat sauce last night. Despite the fact that I’m working hard to lose weight, I also really don’t want to deprive myself of things I like to eat. I had made the spaghetti because I had some of the grandchildren over for dinner, otherwise I probably would have had a salad and some chicken breast or something. So I made the decision to go ahead and eat with them…I just paid attention to how much I served myself. If I’m going to continue to be successful at losing weight, it’s all about portion size.
6/01 199.0
6/02 199.2
6/03 199.3 lol...again. I've been sticking to my calorie goal...really I am! Eventually I won't see 199.

5/28 – no scale
5/29 – 193lbs after the long weekend this is normal. Very busy this week so I hope I do okay.
5/30 – 191lbs – busy day and didn’t eat very good, busy all week. Don’t know if that’s good or bad!
5/31 – 188lbs – I ate so much yesterday??? This has to be from my not eating right the other day. When I say not right I mean not nearly enough
6/01 193lbs – how is a 5 pound swing possible. Was it the hamburger the other night? Or my only meal yesterday before oral surgery. Pizza hut buffet
6/02 – 191lbs – I was so worried last night that I gained more weight. Stepped on the scale and I was 200 even
6/03 – 195lbs – tooth pain gone. splurged and had giant burger with double meat.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 - 159.4 - Horrible way to start this round. My meals weren't bad, no snacking, lots of yard work and a late evening walk after dinner. Water intake was good too. Hoping this is just a slight rise before a nice drop the next day or two. Lots of outside work to do again today and it's going to be hot, so I need to remember to keep drinking water.
5/29 - 158.6 - Usually I feel a yes! Or ehh or oh crap! when I step on the scale but this morning I really didn't feel anything. Yes I'm glad that it's gone back down and yes I'm still really want to lose the weight and I'm not giving up on my healthy habits I'm creating but there wasn't no excitement at the scale this morning. Looking in the mirror and seeing a difference is what I mostly get excited about and I haven't been seeing much change so I think the lose on the scale isn't meaning as much. Will be taking measurements again next week so hopefully it shows results so I can get excited again.
5/30 - 157.0 - Saw this number last round but knew it wasn't true, this time around it might be a little more accurate. Ate a healthy lunch, played a bunch of outdoor games with the kids and had a light dinner. I did have a cupcake though for my son's 5th grade promotion at his school but I logged it and I was still good with calories. Hoping this is a true number as I'm approaching my mini goal date. Also I'm not feeling so meh about the scale this morning, yesterday must just of been an off day.
5/31 - 157.0 - Well it stuck around this time but might see a slight increase in the next day or two as I ate a cookie and some ice cream for a "party" me and my daughter had yesterday for it being the last day of school and then some homemade pizza for dinner. Don't regret it though as we had fun and it made the day special for her. I'll get back on track today though and finish out this round strong.
6/01 - 157.0 - Happy with this, now to see a drop tomorrow.
6/02 - 158.0 - Not surprised by this, not enough water yesterday, took the kids to lunch at Applebee's and didn't eat dinner till about 10:00 last night. Also I'm weighing about a half hour later than normal. Soccer games this morning and a cookout at a friend's this evening.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28--217.5 Not surprised by uptick in weight, will probably see another uptick tomorrow. I went for Afternoon Tea yesterday and I have no idea how many calories I ate, but I definitely enjoyed myself. Going out with the dog for a hike this morning.
5/29--218.0 Water retention. So sore from the hike yesterday. I got my steps in yesterday. Goal for today is to get my water in.
5/30--217.8 Most of the soreness is gone.
5/31--217.1 There goes the rest of the water retention. Got my steps in yesterday.
6/01--216.9 Got steps in yesterday. I have the day off today so I need to make sure to get water in.
6/02--217.1 Dehydrated. Was running around yesterday and forgot to drink water. Got my steps in yesterday.
6/03--217.8 Went out to my coworker's retirement party last night. I probably ate at maintenance, but didn't drink enough water so the uptick in weight was expected. I started back with running yesterday and got my steps in. Kettlebell today. Going out for brunch today, so there will probably be a temporary uptick in my weight tomorrow as well. I took my monthly measurements yesterday and recorded a loss of inches. Goal for today is to get my water in.

Day/Weight/Comment
•5/28 - 196.6 - I'm not sure this is accurate. Simply because I was under tremendous stress yesterday and ate just enough food before going to bed to bring my calories over the edge of 1000.
Ended the day over 2000 calories despite my pre-planned food diary. I decided to eat the calories left behind during the past week due to lack of appetite. I had a protein heavy day of eating. Throughout the day I ate, fried chicken, a grilled chicken sausage, tossed salad, one half of a mini sweet pepper stuffed with a cream cheese spread (pretty much a fat bomb) and 2 slices of pound cake. I ate the cake, because of tradition. It was my Anniversay. All types of snack food, bread and cookies were available to eat, but I have no desire for it. I must confess that I did eat one dime size piece of potato chip that my 18 month old grandson offered to me. How could I refuse? He wanted to feed Grandmommy.

5/28 - 187.8 - Well this was a surprise since the last 10 days nothing seemed to be happening.
5/29 - 189.4 - Such a frustrating process this is
5/30 - 190.8 - Yesterday was a crap day, I met a guy for lunch I used to work with, who has successfully lost and is maintaining a 60 lb loss. The problem is he insists on KFC. He plans for it every Tuesday. He told me yesterday that is his big meal of the day. He works 12 hour shifts 5AM to 5PM so he goes to bed around 7 each night to be ready for his long day, so he is fasting from 3pm until around 7am the next day. I find KFC doesn't fill me, I am always hungry a couple hours after I eat it. I did go for two walks to burn off some calories but not enough.
5/31- 189.6 - well going in the right direction again.
6/01 - 188.2 - Pleasantly surprised again.
6/02 - 189 - another bad day yesterday need to buckle down again

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28: 133.6, came down with a pre-summer cold. Feel poopy and too tired to cook. Thank goodness I have no snack foods in my home.
5/29: 133.6, worked my 10 hour shift and felt okay. The I’m tired cravings did get to me, unfortunately, resulting on 6 mini Reese’s PB cups and a 330 calorie packet of peanuts being consumed.
5/30: 134.2, Never go to the market when you are tired; chips and salsa magically appeared in my bag. Of course, I ate some.
5/31: 132.6, Great date last night, he cooked smoked salmon, sautéed summer squash, tomato and avocado salad, and fresh strawberries for dessert. Long walk on the beach after dinner and spur of the moment movie at the theater (no popcorn for us!)
I think this one’s keeper. Both on the same page for health and eating style.
6/01: 131.8, a good health day. Food was on target and did quite a bit of walking around.
6/02: 135.4, salty, crunchy is my nemesis.
6/03: 133.8, more of the salty, crunchy junk at work. 9 -

5/31--135.... Got on scale rather than looking at my muscle/fat etc. And shocked myself cause 135-140lbs is my biggest-not being careful weight. As in I start feeling thick and stuffed. I thought I was around 130! Goodness me. I'm still surprised about it.
6/01- 134.4
6/02- 132.2 is it possible to lose 2 lbs in one day? I always weigh myself more than once.
Water weight. The body can fluctuate pounds (yes, pounds) throughout the day. I big gain or loss from one day to the next reflects fluid retention or loss. Fat loss is realized over time which is why looking at the overall trend in weight gives a better idea of progress.3 -
I'm putting the Keto experiment on hold because, in a lot of ways, I'm not feeling all that good right now. I'm going to stay at a much lower carb intake, integrating some fruits and vegetables while continuing to focus on eating healthy fats (instead of the crap I used to eat). I'm going to stay away from processed sweets and crappy processed snack foods. Edit: Keto is back on 100%. Thank you "The Magic Pill" for setting me straight.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 = 192.2 (-1.8), BF% = 15.5. I got started a little later than usual today, so this might not be perfectly accurate, but it should be pretty close. Last night wasn't impulsive. I'm definitely taking a break from Keto. I'm trying to decide which carb number I should shoot for. I'm thinking 100, but I'm going to do some reading. I wasn't very consistent last round with tracking my body fat percentage. I'm going to commit to tracking it every day.
5/29 = 194.2 (+2.0), BF% = 15.7. Got a little too "snacky" yesterday. Ate when I wasn't hungry. Allowed myself to eat a couple of things I haven't been able to eat in the past few weeks. Went about 300 calories over maintenance. That being said, as mentioned yesterday, my weight likely wasn't all that accurate when I weighed myself yesterday (weighed myself at the "correct time" today). My goal for today is to remember only to eat when I feel hungry. I tracked everything yesterday, so that was good. I'm feeling okay. This is actually not feeling like a cause for alarm. Rather, it's a signal that I need to be paying attention to how I'm feeling and what I'm eating right now.
5/30 = 193.8 (-0.4), BF% = 15.6. I was much more under control yesterday. Ate with my macros, no crazy binges, stayed away from sweets for the most part (and slightly under calories). I decided to adjust my weekly goal to 1/2 a pound per week (from 1 pound), as I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight.
5/31 = 193.8 (no change), BF% = 15.6. I felt like I ate a little heavy during yesterday, but after tracking everything I think I was slightly below maintenance. I had a fantastic dinner that I normally would have completely scarfed in one sitting. This time, however, I ate half of it, I did it mindfully, and I have half of it today for either lunch or dinner (probably dinner). I have basketball tonight for the first time in a week, and I'm going to go to the gym as well. I feel pretty good that I have been able to maintain since putting Keto on hold, particularly since I haven't worked out for the past week. Full disclosure regarding my decision to put Keto on hold; it actually didn't feel that hard to do. While that's generally a good thing, I tend to get into a groove when something is working well, which makes me less vigilant/questioning. I have some questions regarding the long-term health effects of the Keto lifestyle, and I need to do some reading before I get back into it. Can you remind me of some of your favorite Keto resources @quiltingjaine ?
6/01 = 194.4 (+0.6), BF% = 15.7. I'm not 100% sure why my weight is up a bit, but I'm going shopping today to get my butt back on Keto. "The Magic Pill" was pretty damned inspiring. Played basketball last night and went to the gym, and get pretty good at both. My back signed up a bit, though it feels okay this morning.
6/02 = 195.4 (+1.0), BF% = 15.7. I had a busy day today, so I'm posting late. I thought yesterday went pretty well, even if the scale didn't agree with me. My chiropractor was able to sneak me in for an appointment, which was great, because I needed it badly. I'm a little confused by my weight gain, but I'm going to try to just let it go.
6/03 = 195.0 (-0.4), BF% = 15.8. I felt fantastic at basketball yesterday. My shot was fine, but I really just felt comfortable playing; I could jump, run, and move without pain. It's hard for me to know how much of this is my 30-pound weight loss, and how much of it is related to my general Keto goodness. The truth is, I don't care what it is. Yesterday was a great day. I went to a party in the evening and stuck to hard alcohol plus calorie-free mixers. They had a "taco truck" setup for dinner, and stayed away from everything carb (ate carne asada, chicken, and al pastor meats they had there). Getting a tiny bit frustrated with my weight (lack of progress), but I'll power through this.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28--Out of town--Just checking in on everybody's progress! Got back tonight from our 3-day weekend trip; it was a belated birthday/anniversary celebration. We did some major retail therapy. We ate some really delicious meals and while I didn't log and I know I was over my daily calorie goals, I also made better food decisions than I would have a year ago. That is more important to me than measuring every calorie, because I am trying to change my eating habits for the rest of my life. I'm expecting to see a gain on the scale tomorrow, but I'm going to try to step up my activity level this week.
5/29--178.8 I was expecting this increase. I'm still going to try to get down to 175 this round!
5/30--179.0 Sigh...no excuses. I've been eating over my calorie goal and I haven't been very active. I did a lot of shopping over the weekend and was able to buy smaller sizes, so I need to remember that as motivation--my new clothes aren't going to fit if I keep going this direction! Pilates tonight.
5/31--178.0 Just hanging out in the comfort zone. I've been here for awhile....
6/01--178.0 At this point, I'll be happy if I get through the round right here. I had a meeting right after work last night and didn't have access to food, so I ate the provided food--pizza. I shouldn't be eating pizza in the first place because I am sensitive to dairy and wheat. Anyways, I went way over my calorie goal for yesterday and I feel yucky today. It's not going to get much better these next couple of days. I am on the leadership team for our local Relay for Life, which is tomorrow. I'm super excited for it, but I also know that my access to healthy food is going to be limited. Not to mention, it's going to be an insanely busy day at work today and I have a million things to do after work to get ready for tomorrow. Oy!
6/02--177.8 Happy to see this considering how many calories I've been consuming. I'm going to be running around like a crazy person for the next 16+ hours, so maybe that will translate into something good on the scale!
6/03--177.0 Go away, 177! Yesterday was fun and crazy and exhausting; no logging but I'm fairly certain I burned off any calories I ate yesterday. Now to get back to normal.

10 day moving average = 169.3 YAY!!!
The pants I could not pull up over my knees 2 years 5 months ago (TO MY HORROR) are now a
zipped, snapped, and totally comfortable as of today! HUGE NSV for me since they are from 12-15 years ago and have smaller waist then pants these days.
These last few pounds are *finally* whittling my waist slowly over time.
6/2 169.4 Amazing given 2-hour hike in hills, 14.6K steps, in hot weather... Thought for sure the scale would be up. Hydrated continuously in smaller amounts, so maybe that helped.
Best part: not sore at all!! It’s amazing what our bodies can do. Truly.
10 day moving average = 169.3
10 day moving average loss/week now 0.2 (had been 0.1 for 5 days) so I’m happy.
I’m definitely building muscle. Happy I am eating more & working out more, at slight calorie deficit. It is hard to adjust to smaller bits of weight loss, but I’m feeling much stronger & leaner-ish! LOL
Went on another very hard, hot, Holly hike today. I think I’m becoming addicted — now that it doesn’t hurt to do so.
6/3 169.8
10 day moving average: 169.3
I think my fitness band might over-count calories burned when I do a really hard hike. Am watching to adjust if necessary in a couple of days or a week.

Back on track, eating mostly at home now, and I've been doing lots of garden work - digging out shrubs and other things I don't want and planting perennials. So happy to have a garden again after 9 years of renting!
5/30 - 149.6 - 1290
I'm very happy to see the scale moving the right direction again! We may get thunderstorms this evening, but if they miss us, I'm planning a long walk.
5/31 - 150 - 1307
Bouncy bouncy. But other than not as much exercise yesterday, I'm doing everything right, so no worries.
6/1 - 149.4 - 1297 (10-day ave 1499.3)
I had a note written and somehow lost it, so I guess that means I should be more concise. :-) Anyway, happy to be trending downward on both weight and 10-day calorie average (which explains so much more than daily cals!).
6/2 - 149.4 - 1414 (10-day ave 1472.2)
Better and better. Calories and macros good yesterday, cal ave slowly falling to "loser" zone, 45-min walk (cut short by thunder & lightning), lots of other walking around, some gardening. Have a lovely weekend, all!
6/3 - 149.6 - 1820 (10-day ave 1516.3)
I had a bit of a blowout last night - coffee ice cream :-D - but my net calories were only slightly over my goal, so not so bad. I'd been thinking about coffee ice cream for weeks and decided last night was the night. I bought the small container and my husband polished it off after I got my serving, so there's none for tonight!

Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point
May:
28: Vacation
29: Vacation
30: We had an 18-hour delay on our flight because of storms in Minneapolis. I ended up spending 9 hours on a plane, only to land back in Denver where we started. Slept at the airport, and finally made in all the way home at 11pm. I did really, really well with intuitive eating until living at the airport and on planes for so long.
31: I didn't weight in. Spent the day in bed until about 1:30pm. Holy jet lag!
June:
1: 203.4... Up 2 pounds since my vacation started. I imagine it's all water weight. There was not sufficient access to water on the 3 flights it took to get home, and I certainly didn't get enough yesterday because of sleeping so much. Back into a normal flow today, so tomorrow's weight should reflect that.
2: 201.4... I'm curious now if I did actually lose weight on my trip. Maybe there's more water weight to come off because of the 24 hours it took to travel home. I'm taking the family to a movie in a few minutes, and I always have popcorn. I'll try to keep it to a reasonable amount though. I'd really like to see onederland this round, so that'll keep me motivated.
3: 200.8...I guess I did okay with the popcorn!
