JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 78

jenn990205

Back again, still working on my last 10 lbs (they are very stubborn)! Last round was not my best and very discouraging. I was able to maintain through multiple events and parties, so I'm taking that as a win. This round I will be leaving for a long weekend with the family for a vacation through Memorial Day. We have lots of activities planned that will require walking and getting outside. It's rare to get the older kids (adults now) and the younger kids all together on the same trip, so I am excited.

Round 77: 147.7 - 147.5 down .2 Avg 147.93


05/23 - 147.5 still here. 3rd day in a row and up just over a pound from last week. Way under calories yesterday and drank tons of water. On our way out the door for a 5 day much needed vaca!

05/24 - DNW VACATION

05/28 - 154.3 I really debated whether I was going to post this or not, but it is what it is, plus I know most of it has to be water and sodium weight. I had an amazing time in Colorado with all of my kids and my husband, but I know my water intake was horrible the entire trip. I made pretty good food choices most of the time, but carbs were higher than normal just because they are sometimes easier to eat on the go. A 7 hour car ride yesterday to come home didn't help much and I returned with a nice little sunburn from the zoo the day before. Back at work today and drinking my water. Don't think I will make my goal this round, but taking a break from counting calories and weighing myself everyday is what I needed. I was starting to get really frustrated with the whole process and needed a restart. I was very temped just to take this round off and continue my little frenzy, but I chose to come back and post. I need the accountability and I am ready to see what I can accomplish in the next couple of weeks. So the break is over and I am back on the wagon.

05/29 - 151.9 big drop from yesterday. It's crazy how elevation changes affect me so much. The same thing happened when we flew a couple months back. Did well yesterday and on track today. If I can just end the month and this round back at 147.xx then I can take it as a win. We will see I guess!

05/30 - 149.3 got some kind of stomach bug yesterday in the afternoon so hardly ate at all. Still not 100%, but way better than last night. Not a whole lot of calories today so far either, but I am going to try and eat a decent dinner. Still coming back down from my vacation weight and hoping to be back to 147.xx by tomorrow to end the month with a whole 1 pound loss, lol. I guess a pound is a pound, right, if I make it!

05/31 - 149.3 same, I still was not 100% last night at dinner and pretty much could only stomach some toast and crackers. Water was terrible all day, but slept 100% better. Today I'm back to normal, so hopefully we can see a drop to end this round. May I am ending up 1.1 pounds from last month and my trend is up 2.3 pounds, so hopefully I can do a lot better in June. These last couple of weigh-ins for the month killed my average. Oh well still ended the month in the 140's.

06/01 - 148.7 hopefully I can hold it together this weekend and continue my downward trend. I need to stay on top of my water intake today and make good food choices. Taking my daughter out for lunch today to celebrate her bday and then do some shopping and cleaning. We had a bbq last with her friends and I did really well with food, but probably had a little more alcohol than I should have. I can’t believe my middle child is already 17, it really does go by quickly.

I cannot walk like I used to. My husband and I walked five miles a day...five days a week...and I can't do that now. I do still work out w/my trainer three times a week but the exercises are not strength exercises like before. She is being very careful with me. It seems everything I'm eating is staying with me. I am scheduled for back surgery June 18th. Doc said the surgery should take care of 80-90% of the pain. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

***ROUND 78 (my 8th)***
SW this round (5/22): 142.8
Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 142.8 The same weight as the past few days. So I am having a really tough time increasing my carbs, which is a strange thing for me! I only committed to do keto for one month to support my husband, and hopefully, to break the previous stall (which worked well). That was halfway through Round 75, and I've lost 10.8 lbs since then! Inches, too, a lot of them.

But. I did the keto thing for 2 years previously, and I don't want to go that route again as a lifestyle I can do forever (because I can't). And I don't want to risk blood vessel inflammation by suddenly eating the way I did before (sticking to my calorie limit, unlimited carbs), so I need to gradually add carbs. Why am I having trouble with this? I don't know.
05/24 144 Lol, broke that mini plateau, but not in the right direction! It's okay. I'm reading a lot about healthy carbs and I think I'll continue to gain a bit as I add some in, because they carry extra water. But if I hadn't stepped on the scale this morning, I would have been sure I'd lost weight. I feel good! Going to take measurements again at the end of this round.
05/25 142.2 Better! Still under 30 g of net carbs, and I will probably hover around this level for a lot of this round, as I'm shooting for 35. It's an interesting experiment to ditch the carbs and add them back in so thoughtfully. I've satisfied my sweet tooth with 85% dark chocolate (daily), diet sodas, and occasionally, awesome homemade keto desserts, but no added sugars, and that feels good. By the Fourth of July, I'll be having (portion-controlled) watermelon!
05/26 143.4 For me, keto= slow digestion now and then, and things are currently sitting in my stomach, so I'm not worried. This is food and water weight, not fat. Around 34 g net carbs yesterday.
05/27 142.2 33 net carbs yesterday. 5 days into this round, and I seem to be maintaining, not losing. Need to reevaluate what I'm doing.
05/28 143 37 net carbs yesterday. So low compared to the number I was having before keto, but I'm guessing it's enough of an increase this round to carry some extra water. It'll all sort out. I'm never over calories as best I can tell from weighing food carefully, so I know it's not that.
05/29 141 30 net carbs yesterday. YAY! It'll be different by tomorrow, but this is nice to see!
05/30 141.3 32 net carbs yesterday. Great to see this number again! Maybe I could break into the 139s next round???
05/31 142 43 net carbs, approximately. I have family visiting and I am apparently not bold enough to let them see I weigh and measure everything, so I estimated my butternut squash noodles yesterday instead of weighing them, and there's a lot of room for mistakes with that! I didn't realize it had a not-so-ideal carb to fiber ratio, oops. On the other hand, it's BUTTERNUT SQUASH, so... I'm not getting too worked up about "indulging" here.
06/01 139.4 I did it! Might be one day only, but my body is in the 130s!!! 24 net carbs yesterday, lower than I'm shooting for. Met my carbs and fasting goals, but not my movement goals at all this time, so that's going to be a priority next round. See you in Round 79, guys!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 390.4
05/24 390.6 (+ 0.2) I am back. Very stress. Selling my Dad’s building. Very hard going thru his clothes. My sister did not want to sale until he dies. Long story, but my Dad is going to be living a while and thankfully he seems to be adjusting well to the nursing home. Which is private pay. My sister did not want to sell because she was living rent free. I am power of attorney. I told her we could not afford to pay for two residences for my Dad and his money was not for us to pay for her residence when she can work. She finally moved and agreed to sale but our relationship is still strained and it only us two. But at least we are still talking even if not much. My Dad comes first. Now pity party is over and back to taking care of me. I will start back going to WW meetings Wed. Online only was not working. I need the weekly support and check ins. I am going to try checking in here more too on week days especially.
05/25 386.0 (- 4.6)
05/26 385.6 (- 0.4)
05/27 387.4 (+ 1.8) Not perfect over weekend but I definitely made some good choices. Last night at grocery store, made it out of there with NO sweets. Put back a slice of carrot cake. Picked up some fruit and fudge pop sicles. Have leftovers from yesterday.
05/28 388.4 (+ 1.0)
05/29 385.8 (- 2.6) I went back to WW meeting today with old leader. Meeting was wonderful. Could not find a convenient Monday class so had to do a Wednesday. Reset my MFP ticker to home scale weight…..
05/30 384.0 (- 1.8)
05/31 383.0 (-1.0) Yay! Moving in the right direction. Trying to get my head around the intermittent fasting. It is not like I am hungry, it is just hard for me to wait to eat. And because I am up late and work a crazy shift at work I am going to start with the 14:10 method for now and gradually work myself up to 16:8. My work hrs are 10:30 to 7:00 three days a week and 9:30 to 6:00 two days. (I live in CST zone) So I have made my eating window 1:00 to 11:00 (2:00 to midnight on weekends or I may just take off weekends but I doubt it) My next challenge will be getting to bed by or before midnight or 1:00 am. I am having Mexican for dinner tonight but I should be able to stick my weight or go down a bit more before end of the challenge.
06/01 381.0 (-2.0) Goal exceeded! Total lost this round 9.4 pounds. CONSISTENCY, CONSISTENCY....THAT IS MY CHALLENGE. Yesterday was my 1st day of really doing the intermittent fasting and it was all good! I didn't binge during the 10 hours and I was not famished. I could have actually ate less. But I will continue to keep at it. Loved the 2 pound drop!

I love below reminders from @TerriRichardson112 :flowerforyou:

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

05/26--206.1 I can't believe that I am down over 3 lbs after my trip to visit my parents. While I didn't eat a huge amount I did go out for dinner twice, I didn't do much exercise, was resting my hip, I didn't drink much water, and I was expecting some water retention from the flight. Well, my hip feels better, but not 100%. I'm supposed to see my trainer today, so I'll see how that goes. My hubby cleaned our house and even cleaned my car while I was gone...I should go out of town more often. Goal for today is to go food shopping, get back to my normal eating, and just relax.
05/27--207.4 Not surprised about the bump. Worked out with trainer yesterday which was the first time I worked out in about a month, so definitely some water retention. The workout was great. My hip held up for most of the workout, but I didn't finish the whole workout as my hip started to tighten up a little near the end of the workout. I am going to try and go out for a short run today and see how it goes. Going to see a movie and then relaxing for the rest of the day.
05/28--207.8 I was able to go out for a short run yesterday to test the hip and so far so good. There was a lot more walking then usual and some extra stretching, but the hip felt good and still feels good today. Going to trainer tonight. I had a co-worker this morning whisper to me what I've been doing lately because it looks like I've lost a lot of weight. What's funny is that I haven't lost much weight recently, but as someone whose 5'10" it takes a lot more of a weight loss for the weight to show. Add in the fact that I've started to get back serious to lifting weights over the past 3 months, it's now that the results of all the hard work are showing up. That is something that is hard to come to terms with when we are losing weight. Even though it would be nice to have the scale show a loss every day, every other day, or even every week it's not always the case and that's ok...it's a marathon, not a sprint.
05/29--208.1 Not concerned about the recent weight gain. I know that I am bloated right now, probably my digestive system still dealing with eating foods that I am allergic to from a couple of days ago. Worked out with my trainer yesterday an hip is still bothering me. He suggested I go see a PT, so I've booked an appointment for next week. After the trainer I was feeling frustrated because of the hip and the fact that I probably won't be able to run my 10K next Saturday even after all of the training I had done over the last couple of months, but then I had to remind myself that it is more important to make sure that I don't injure myself even more and make things worse. I also have a 7 miler scheduled in July that I running with my SIL that we had planned for months ago, so it's more important for me to get better now and be healthy to run that race.
05/30--208.1 Worked out with trainer tonight, we mainly focussed on working on the upper body. It was so busy at work today that I didn't get a lot of water in today.
05/31--207.2
06/01--207.4 This has definitely been an up and down round. It was definitely a result of my trip early in the week and my injured hip that affected my weight training and stopped me from running, but I'm looking forward to next round where I hope things stabilize. I have 6 weeks to go until my cruise...it's a short enough time period that I believe that I can really stay focussed on my eating and exercise.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23: 193.0 (I had a slight increase in weight and I'm sure it's because of soreness and TOM has just barely ended. I'm staying the course and hope the weight falls off as my body adjusts back to a more normal cycle. I made some chicken breast kabobs and rice for dinner last night and did a 55 minute TurboFire workout.)

05/24: 192.0 (My body loves this number! My weekly loss this week is 0.8 pounds. It's still the lowest weight I've been since on this weight loss thing. I hope to make my goal next Friday! I did my 5K training last night. I do 30 minutes and 3 of those minutes I ran consecutively! I was proud of that. It was hard no doubt about that! I made meatball subs for dinner last night and had a small one.)

05/25: 191.8 (Woohoo a new low! I did not expect this at all and I’m happy to see it. Last night I went out to dinner with hubby and some family. I had a couple pieces of bread and some short ribs. I did not do a workout yesterday.)

05/26: 191.0 (Now thats a new low! I officially have 50 pounds to go until my goal weight. I’m so close to my mini goal weight for Happy Scale. Once I hit 190 my reward is a gym membership. I’m so excited! Last night I did no workout and I was at my nephews 4th birthday party and ate a lot.)

05/27: 192.0 (This is an amazing Monday weigh in! I know this will be an amazing week and I hope I can get into a new decade by Friday! I ate pizza last night for a friends bday party and I did my 5K training yesterday during a little rain and 50 degree weather. I ran 3 minutes in a row and could’ve done more but followed my plan.)

05/28: 192.0 (Staying right here, but that's okay! I had a good day yesterday just relaxing after a busy weekend. I did a bunch of laundry and grocery shopping as well. We had cheese quesadillas with chips and queso for dinner last night and I did a 55 minute TurboFire workout.)

05/29: 191.4 (I did my 5K training yesterday and added 3 more minutes of running to include 6 now. OMG was that difficult! There are tons of hills by my house and when I was going downhill, I felt like my form was horrible and I was stomping my feet. The next time I run, I'm going to focus on my form to not injure myself. I made eggs and potatoes last night with fruit for dinner. So close to goal!!)

05/30: 192.0 (I kind of knew this was going to happen. I did not do a workout due to some intense shoulder pain all day long which is a flare up from an old volleyball injury I got in high school. I iced the shoulder and then put an icy hot patch to relieve the pain. I'm also sore in my legs and mostly my inner thighs from my workouts Monday and Tuesday. I'm hoping for a new low tomorrow morning! Happy Scale says I should make my weight on Saturday! I made Mexican pizzas last night (copycat Taco Bell recipe )

05/31: 192.0 (That’s unfortunate. I’ve been at a 750 calorie deficit per day and can’t seem to pass this weight. My weekly weigh in came out to the same. So I maintained this week. I have no idea what it would be. I’m not sore so maybe it’s something to do with my stomach. I ate a chicken teriyaki vegetable bowl yesterday and did a 55 minute turbo fire workout.)

06/01: 193.0 (Ended the remount with a gain which is expected. I’m hoping for a wonderful next round. I’m not gonna jinx myself like I have the last rounds! I ate a salad from chop stop last night and did a 5K training session yesterday.)

Round 78 gain: 0.4 pounds

05/23 185.2 Nice to start the round with a drop that I was not expecting! Annual trip to the ballgame with DS1 so ball park food for dinner swapped beer for diet coke and gave him my fries but still expected a sodium jump. The game went to 13 innings so we didn't get home until the wee small hours of the morning so I will have to be extra vigilant about my choices today. I have now done 7 days of no sweets- need to keep the streak going.
05/24 IDK! Scale gave 185.6 and 187.2 maybe 186.4? A good day yesterday,was proud of myself for making good choices despite being very tired. The uptick is probably delayed reaction from the trip to the ballpark.
05/25 186 after work BBQ yesterday skipped the beer, chips and potato salad but really enjoyed the bratwurst and the sunshine! A little stress eating - a handful of ritz crackers - but way better than a handful of chocolate bars 10 days no sweets!
05/26 184.4 ! slept till noon so that's part of it! Had a good workout yesterday and a nice walk in the evening, back in time to see the end of the basketball game - so nerve wracking! Other than that a lazy day yesterday no errands, no chores, no meals - the boys had pizza and I had left overs (salmon and asparagus so i didn't suffer!) Lots to do today - but tea first!
05/27 187 I don't understand.
05/28 186.6 Weird day yesterday - NSV my colleague and I had to walk up 4 flights of stairs to a meeting - she commented that I was "in way better shape" than she was! Fell of the sugar wagon - but back on track this morning.
05/29 188 Nope! not back on track. The dietitian says I should not need to abstain from any foods - just "eat intuitively" but I can't seem to make that work - 2 mouthfuls of cake and I have been on a sugar tear ever since.
05/30 DNW woke up with a sugar binge (there I said it) hangover - Only 1 goal for today - NO SWEETS
05/31 189.4 goals for today no sweets log all food

06/01 188.6 Not a successful round for weight loss - but I did learn some things. I also upped my exercise. I have finally (I think) adapted C25K to something I can manage. Whenever I tried before I was too sore and too tired to continue. So now I am doing what I call C25K FOLV (I'll explain that in a second) I am taking it very slowly. Starting with 30 second running intervals and increasing literally by 10% each week. so 30 sec, 33 sec 36 sec 40 sec etc I am now at 1 minute (x6)

FOLV? Where I work we have multiple editions and versions of the Christian scriptures. We refer to them by short forms - so the King James Version is the KJV, the New International Version is the NIV, the New Revised Standard Version is the NRSV etc. So C25K FOLV is C25k Fat Old Lady Version - I was going to call it the slow and steady version but- FOLV makes me laugh.

Have a great day everyone - see you in R79

GOAL. This month I am planning a non stop dieting month. May 13th-JUne 13th I will be dieting non stop, fasting and will only allow 3 cheat meals at most (not days) and keep them limited to events I can not control (meaning no Saturday morning high calorie breakfasts that potentially will derail the rest of my day) this is an experiment to see what I could potentially accomplish if I stuck to it for the whole month. 8/31 accomplished so far..

5/23 135.8 9/31 accomplished holding steady I guess

5/24 135.8 x day. My brothers birthday so I indulged in some cake. 9/31 accomplished, still holding steady

5/25 137.6 10/31 accomplished a slight gain from yesterday's indulgence. I will see what my weight says tomorrow but it is a little concerning. I have been doing 16/8 fasting (so far straight with no breaks) and I hope this isn't a foreshadowing of weight gain from not sticking the course

5/26 137 11/31 accomplished a slight drop, that's good. Completed week two of my fast. So far so good I am watching my micro/macros as well as my calories I just hope I see some better results come week three. I am switching up my fast for this week because I had my mother complain over the weekend about my 24 hour fast on Sundays, considering the past two Sundays have been family dinners. I found another one that is more flexible for weekends but will probably switch back if there are no plans. Is anyone else fasting? Do you use apps? I am using body fast app and was wondering if paying for the couch would be a good idea, does anyone here use that app? Does anyone have any stories to share about their own fasting experiences...

5/27 136.8 11/31 another x, i am afraid. So my brothers birthday dinner carried on until tonight and I couldn't help myself. I know I promised only 3 days of cheating but I am going to have to add a fourth. That s life

5/28137.6 12/31 accomplished a slight gain from yesterday that is ok though, i am determined to re drop back to the weight i was at the starting of these 10 days.

5/29 138.6 accomplished 13/31. There is the gain from Monday's cake.

5/30137.2 14/31 accomplished a big drop... Which is nice to see

5/31 136.8 another x which is 5 total...more than I wanted by still not too bad for a month. I had a super hungry day and was kind of down because of the effort and work I have been putting into dieting and exercising....Plus the fast and not seeing the results I was expecting. I really had high hopes for this set of 10 days and it seems like my weight just likes it here and doesn't want to move. It is starting to get on my nerves a bit because at least before I could blame it on me not being diligent or working for it....but now that I am being strict with myself I can't find an issue to fix for my constant 3 pound yo-yoing. I guess my body likes it here and just wants to straddle this weight a bit longer..I hope the next 10 days brings a better drop. Plateauing sucks!

05/23 148.8 on vacation in Nashville through Sunday so trying to get a workout in the morning since will have restaurant food most meals.
05/24 148.3 was severely lacking on water yesterday so going to try to amp it up today.
05/25 149.8, ok with anything this weekend since having a great time and won’t eat this way when get back on Monday
05/26 149.9, heading back home later this afternoon. Had Nashville hot chicken and it was so good. Very happy that’s not available where I live since no temptation now haha
05/27 151, back home and hoping I can get back in the 148s by the end of the round. I worked out for an hour today and ate really healthy so back on track!
05/28 150.1, planning on working out 60 minutes today and running errands after work that I put off yesterday when I caught up on sleep.
05/29 148.5, happy with how I’ve worked out and eaten the last two days. Should be able to continue today
05/30 147, great drop but skeptical I’m actually this weight since this is a new low. I think if I see a 146 this round I might break something doing a happy dance haha! I’m watching the basketball game tonight with some friends after a planned 60 minute workout so the 146 may have to wait to next round.
05/31 146.8, going to try to work out for 60+ today so that I can end May with as low as a number as possible. I wasn’t expecting to see a 146 number and even if I end at a 147 number, pretty happy the way this round went.
06/01 146.7, totally unexpected results this round but not complaining. Hope to continue progress in the next round.

05/26 187.4 Not sure why the scale is not going down. I did strenuous yard work for hours yesterday, drank more than 100 ounces of water, and ate well within my calories. I guess I'll just hope for a whoosh.
05/27 187.2
05/28 187.2
05/29 186.8 Maybe I'll see a drop for the end of this round.....

05/31 186.8 Stuck! Glad it didn't go up after my 2 beers after the 3K I walked and the tortilla chips at lunch.
I did get 19,000 steps in, though.
06/01 187.2 The Italian Festival got me this round! Lot's of steps, but spaghetti and wine too......

05/24 weight 151lbs: goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick
05/25 weight 151lbs: goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick
05/26 weight 151lbs: goal to do 30 mins on treadmill and drink 1500ml water - tick. This challenge really works as a motivator. I've not done one before, not done any social media before, but I can get into this. There is no way I would have done 30min treadmill today if I hadn't got into the challange. Finding it hard to get 1500ml water in but I have done it for last three days just because I put it on my challenge goals. I usually just drink tea but not having so much tea and coffee means I don't have to waste cals on milk. I am sticking to 1200 cals so this is going to be a slow slog

05/27 weight STILL 151lbs: goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick - will get the 1500ml water in by end of day. Getting a bit disheartened now but I'm not giving up. The scales kissed 150lb but jumped back to 151.0 so was really good and logged 151. I'm going to start to put the .ounces in now. Since I started the challenge havent done less than 16k steps. Yesterday I did 22k steps, all day in the garden putting in veggies, hoeing etc. Agreed not much cardio or peak fat burn going on but I thought I would have gone down a notch. Ah well, hopefully tomorrow will see the drop. Logging every bit of food I eat, even logging it before I eat it to make sure I dont go over, how sad am I

05/28 weight 150.4lbs: yay!!!! at last: goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick - got the 1500ml water in yesterday. 1999 cals

05/29 weight 151.2: what a bum, went out last night for a meal. Over 2k calories yesterday. Extra exercises needed now, you can't go out for a meal and not eat though....can you? goal to do 30 mins on treadmill + extra 30mins to show willing - tick - 1500 ml water in yesterday, which reminds me I haven't drunk any water yet!!!! I hate drinking the water now I've got to guzzle like a crazy elephant to get it all in today

05/30 weight 150.6 - goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick - drank 1500ml water yesterday

05/31 weight 150.2 - goal to do 30 mins on treadmil - tick + 30 mins general work (step and weights) only drank 1000 water yesterday
06/01 weight 150.4 - goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick - about 650 calos over yesterday. made some bread, ate the bread. i know better than to eat the bread. grandkids here most of the week and its just so easy to make the bread for them.....and me. i did 23k steps over the day to make up for it.
So thats the end of this round then. Bit disapointed with myself. Only 1lb lost in nine days. Well that jut means I try harder next round. Keep it up everyone

05/23 - 136.1 (-0.8) - off to a good start. Did yoga yesterday and some other random cardio. Ate chips for the first time in awhile but didn’t go overboard, ate healthy otherwise. Not feeling bloated but I do feel sore from yoga.
05/24 - 136.4 (+0.3) - feeling bloated. Food and exercise was good yesterday.
05/25 - 136.4 (0) - worked out quite a bit (yoga and cardio), drank 11 glasses of water, healthy food.
05/26 - 136.4 (0) - I believe TOM is hitting again in a few days causing water retention. Will see. Happy there hasn’t been a gain!
05/27 - 137 (+0.6) - there’s the jump. It’s definitely water retention. DOMS, TOM coming.
05/28 - 137.1 (+0.1) - eh will probably be like this for the next week or so with TOM. Eating right, water intake is good, and exercising.
05/29 - 136.6 (-0.5) - right direction, hoping to see it drop more but likely will see water retention increase.
05/30 - 137 (+0.4) - probably going to see back and forth into the next round. For now I’ll keep doing what I’m doing. Water, food, and exercise have all been on point.
05/31 - 135.8 (-1.2) - weird that it dropped because TOM started yesterday evening. I expect it will still fluctuate but nice to see that number again. Water was good, food was healthy, and exercised quite a bit cardio and strength.
06/01 - 136.8 (+1) - expected this. It’s alright I know it’s water. Food was good, water was good, and got in both cardio and strength training. Next round should show all the progress.
