~10 day avg ~ 177.3. Not where I want to be, but thankfully stayed within this decade of weight. ~ Really struggled with finding the right balance of electrolytes. I'm hoping that increasing potassium was the problem all along and my fluid weight continues to drop.

May goal 159.9
April loss - 7.7
March total: loss 1.7 lbs - This is all that I lost with a deficit of 18,713 calories
February total calories burned (not the deficit) - 20,350 - loss 1.4 lbs
April 30 - 167.9
May 01 - 165.1 I counted that in the April loss. It made up for February and March
May 02 - 164.3 - Saw this 164 number on April 26, glad to see it again. 5 more pounds to get out of the obese range. Working on it!
I usually keep it simple, calories in, calories out, and deficit. My change had been that I started to have greek yoghurt because with my dental issues it was a nice soft thing to have. I wonder if that has made the difference.
May 03 - 163.2 - I really stayed in bed late today and weighed before drinking water. I guess more time between eating and weighing myself. Planned night out, dinner, drinks, a concert.
May 04 - 165.0 - Pretty much expected, up almost 2 pounds in a day. This is why I rarely go out with friends any more, bad for the waistline. Went out with skinny friends last night argh, they don't have to be careful at all. I will get it back down, but it could take awhile. Oh well, I had a very good time.
May 05 - 166.4 - Back on track, but stuff from Friday is still showing up. Maybe tomorrow will be better : - )

Total loss for May-
I’ve been hanging out 158-159’s most of the week with a little spike after a huge Mother’s Day breakfast with lots of fruit carbs (my favorite kind).
I did a quick measurement check and I’m down about an 1”-2” everywhere it counts. I am pushing myself in the gym and it’s crazy what I’m capable of.
I’m being realistic but I have eight weeks until a week at the beach, so I have some vanity goals. Lol by realistic I mean I might not look 100% in a bathing suit but I will look 500% in a little sundress!9 -

May 14th - 191 (as bad as I was worried it would be but at least I've been doing this long enough to realize that's mostly water weight and not to panic...still blows my mind how fast weight can fluctuate back up but I am ready to get back at it now)

Today's Thoughts: I missed my Friday weigh-in due to travel. Was on the road Thursday and Saturday. So proud of myself. Even though the eating options were limited, I made the best choices I could - and I used the treadmill at the hotel to bump up the calorie burn.
I've learned what I can order when grabbing food on the run (even drive thru fast food) and stay within or close to my calorie allowance. I've also learned to fix my breakfast at the hotel breakfast bar and take it back to my room to avoid over grazing. (Did you know they have trays?!) When I fixed breakfast, I also grabbed some yogurt and fruit to stay away from the vending machines later
Overall, I only bumped up a single pound! The last trip cost me a 5 pound set back!
The first 2 weeks of May are pretty hard for me, so I focus on on my emotional health. When we got home, I got back to my eating plan but slugged out on the exercise. Started the exercise up again yesterday - and doubled up in the routine to get my head back in the game. And look at me! I hit a new decade! WOO HOO!
May Game Plan:- Continue weekly meal planning
- Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500
- No calorie intake after 8pm
- Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 Seven day average: 4486
- Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 Seven day average: 27
- Increase strength building exercise from 6 days to 7 Seven day average: 3
