    Weigh in day Friday
    current weight 218.2

    (Sun., Mon., Tue., Wed) Check-in of week 2 July
    Food: all food logged but dragging... some under on calories, some over on calories - sodium has been off the chain
    Water: 6 or 8 average, some days a little better - interestingly, have noted that all water, extra and otherwise, is just staying and not eliminating with the sodium overload
    Exercise: almost none over the past several days

    Next Day Goals
    Just - reassess with intention and take positive steps to be on track
    Goals or Improvements for tomorrow: Be mindful and exercise - it will have to be during the day at work
    Drink more water, remember the good, be the good and encourage others on their journey

    This has been a not great week - at all. Sunday we had dinner with friends and I just ate the sausages knowing the sodium would be very high. Monday, high sodium and a 3 hour drive home - Tuesday morning resulted in a significant weight gain that I know is water weight, based on food intake. Still, I have struggled to be at a normal pace all week and not done very well for a myriad of reasons but I know that when I stay focused, I navigate reasons much better. Still very puffy ankles and feel reasonably certain that the retention will remain for several more days and will affect the Friday weigh-in. Well - so it goes. Lagging on logging and not checking in here are definitely factors in not being as focused as needed.

    Hang in there! It sounds overall like you are changing course to move in the right direction!

    I forgot to check in yesterday
    Wednesday check-in
    Calories- under, I wasn't feeling like lunch so I skipped it. I figure it balances with the day before since I ate too much that day.
    Exercise- elliptical, recumbent bike, weight lifting

    Today
    Calories- hopefully under, I'm going out to dinner after a doctor's appointment
    Exercise- recumbent bike if I'm home in time.

    Thursday Check in
    Calories: under and 23 net carbs
    Water: over
    Exercise: 50 minute cardio program on the treadmill

    Today was a good day and I fasted for just over 19 hours. Tomorrow night we are going to dinner at the bosses house and I have no idea what will be on the menu. This will be one of those times when I will just have to eat what I'm given and deal with it. I do plan to fast as long as I can tomorrow and keep it to no carbs before the dinner to help balance out my new plan. I got this!! B)

    Brilliant!

    And, yes -- “Lather, rinse, repeat." so much of losing weight is the willingness to do something again and again!

    Previous weight: 157.6
    Current weight: 157.2

    WTF
    I have been on point with my eating, consistent with my workouts and logging food, my numbers say I should be losing, and yet......
    So frustrating.
    I swear this was so much easier the first time around.

    Weigh Day - Tuesday

    Previous - 233
    Current - 234.6

    Too many snacks and carbs. I keep reminding myself that this is a journey

    You are so right! Weight loss is a long game.

    Is there any one thing you can do in advance this week, to make snack/carb decisions easier for your future self?

    Just discipline and self-control really :neutral: It's so much easier to snack and eat carbs bc they make brain happy lol

    **And lack of sleep is absolutely tied to my wanting to eat carbs**

    Weigh in day Friday
    starting weight: 219.5
    Previous weight: 218.2
    current weight 219.8

    Friday Challenge (and daily) Check-in of week 2 July
    Food: all food logged, not really on plan, under on calories mostly but not consistently - and higher than where I need to be for really consistent losses
    Water: not as much as needed, 4 today
    Exercise: not getting the daily 30 min

    Next Day Goals
    Food: make choices that are good for me and less sodium!
    Water: no less than 8!
    Exercise: a bike ride and yard work
    Goals or Improvements for tomorrow: drink more water, remember the good, be the good and encourage others on their journey

    I'm losing the water slowly but the less than stellar choices are telling - and not enough exercise! This week coming will be better just to get back to some semblance of a routine!
