Goal for today is to keep eating reasonably and not too late in the day. I'm mostly recovered from a recent 4 lb increase and I want to get back down to my current low.

How much do you think you are retaining? If it is 5 pounds or less that can be par for the course. If it is 7 pounds or greater and it persists you may need to see a doctor.0 -
yesterday's goals worked out! 8.8 miles on the homeward trip, and I stuck to one beer (a pint of Guinness is 210 cals).
same goals for today, really. another bar visit is planned this afternoon--Friday, woohoo!--so I'll duck out of work a little early to get a few extra miles in.1 -

I dont know how to quantify it. My one leg will swell is how I know. Especially my cankle area. It has been exponentially better since tracking and dropping the little weight I have. I see my cardiologist in 2 weeks I will discuss with him. Thanks for the concern though.0 -

Used to be my left leg. Only if it got really bad would it show up in the right. Edema in my extremities seems to have been gone for 100 pounds or so. The last time I jumped up 20 pounds of water it felt like it was all in my abdomen.
Hopefully if your situation is like mine your doctor will consider doing the same thing mine did which was place me on a mild diuretic to keep you more level. Be really careful though if you get put on one in that first week you will need gatorade or similar if you start "losing" a lot of water in a few days. It really kicked my rear and I was prepared for it.

My goal today is to hit my protein macro. I never manage to hit it and I want to see if eating more protein will make me feel any different. Goal number two is to get out and walk despite the wild wind and rain we are having. That will be a major breakthrough if I actually get out when the weather is not good. Then goal number three is to do the yoga routine I've started and see if I can finally manage some of the balancing poses. I'm definitely getting better and my balance is improving.1

- Accurately log food & stick with planned meals/snacks.
- Full Body Strength Routine after work.
- Go for a walk at lunchtime if the weather permits.
- Try again for an earlier night.
- Prep food for tomorrow (I am coaching a youth group tomorrow with my rowing club)
Not a bad day:
Accurately logged meals, although did have some unplanned snacks
Did the strength training and yoga.
In bed for 11:30pm, didn't bother with food prep as sandwich provided so I'll make a light breakfast in the morning.

Didn't manage to hit my protein macro. Still about 20g off...but have 150 calories "banked" for tomorrow. Went for a walk and did 5k in wild, wild weather. Got totally drenched but had the best soak in the bath when I got home.
Yoga still to do and I'll get that done before bed.1 -

Good. 5 more days and it will be 28 day/4 weeks. Having reliable numbers will give you a really good foundation for long term weight loss management.1 -

Cycling didn't happen, it was lashing rain and I was volunteering outside for the day so didn't fancy extending my time being soaked to the bone. Did 4 hours+ rowing coaching so think that makes up for it.
Got around 9500 steps in.
Didn't do yoga or gratitude diary, had an allergic reaction to something (almost look like I have a black eye) so pretty much just ate dinner and went to bed.
Stayed hydrated.
