Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 - -
10/01 - - cut the cream out of my coffee, came in at 1519 calories, 42 net carbs and got in a 90 minute swim
10/02 - 102.9 k
10/03 - 101.7 k (probably water loss but I will take it!) 1735 calories, 29 net carbs and walked 3 miles outdoors, felt super bloated at the end of the day but work up feeling good. Here is to another good day!
10/04 - 101.1 k 1315 calories, 17 net carbs and ran 1 mile followed by leg workout. So far so good!!!
10/05 - 100.9 k 1379 calories, 11 net carbs and 60 minutes swim. Made up for it with intensity this time! Felt it. The scale is moving in the right direction finally!!! That said - its lowering the calories and carbs that has made it happen. Keep telling myself it isn't magic!!!
10/06 - 101.2 k 2454 calories (!!!), 27 net carbs and walk/jogged 2 miles. It was homemade Keto Pizza and movie night with the kids... I am sure I have some water retention and, well, I ate too many calories! I was hungry. The days I eat less than 1500 I feel the hungry at night even on keto. After two days at 1300 I cracked! I am really appreciating this message board for the clarity and accountability I find in posting. It is also helping me face the scale with a good attitude. Usually when I have a small gain, even if I can explain it, I feel demoralized. I think facing the facts head on and honestly is better. I believe I am still on track. Goal of 100.6 for Wednesday!
10/07 - 101.4 k 1853 calories, 19 net cabs, no exercise. It's my birthday today so we went out for dinner. I am still going to feel good about the calories moving in the right direction. The scale will eventually follow.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 91 (round 23 for me ) I'm in for another round, not quite as much holiday weight lost last round as I'd like due to my own sabotage towards the end, I am always so annoyed at myself after a binge, don't know why I let food rule my life!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/ 133.8 – yippee a good drop for the start of the round, only managed 1.88 miles yesterday due to the persistent rain, but stayed on plan (difficult on Sunday with roast dinner), but only 23 calories over and all other macros in green. See if I can lose another pound by the end of the challenge.
10/01 133.8 – 8.87 miles walked, all macros in green.
10/02 133.2 – just over 6 miles walked yesterday. Wonderful day out with my lovely sisters yesterday & just 150 calories over my calories out – yay !!!
10/ 03 133.8 – 10.2miles walked yesterday and an hours yoga class;she worked us hard!! CICO in credit, all macros in green.
10/04 133.2 – 5.97 miles walked yesterday
10/05 134 – 8.47 miles walked yesterday, an hour an half in the garden weeding, dead heading, planting and clearing expired annuals.
10/06 134.4 ? - 10.5 miles walked yesterday up hill and down dale, all macros in green apart from carbs slightly over. Woke up with a sore throat this morning
.
10/07 134 – 4.6 miles walked yesterday, under calories, but carbs over. Plan for today is to reduce carbs; already pre-logged and planned meals for the day.
10/08 133.6 – 8.51 miles walked yesterday. All macros in green including carbs being well under; pre-logging and planning meals yesterday worked – doing that again today.

?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE. ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ9 -
I'm in. messed around the last round and bounced up and down the same few pounds. Aim this round is to get into the 139's.
30th Sept: 142.5. Had parents round for dinner yesterday. There was apple tart and ice cream. And cider Back to routine today.
1st Oct: 139.75. I don't deserve this low number today. Yesterday was AWFUL. 3 Krispy Kreme donuts. Crisps. Chocolate. Digestives with real butter. Apple tart. Trifle. No exercise. Just hit my steps that's about it. BUT this low weight has given me a pep up and I'm determined for today. Piloxing class tonight. Really hope I can keep the weight in the 130's.
2nd Oct: 139.25. Absolutely estatic with this. Stayed within calories, did 18k steps and a piloxing class. This is the lowest I've been in 5 years. I'd love to get more comfortable in the 130'3 but TOM is this weekend so lets see.
3rd: Oct: 138.5. WOW! Absolutely thrilled. Yesterday was a good day and went for a walk with my mam and dogs before it got dark. Its getting dark early here now - about 7:15pm and as I live in the country, my evening walks are numbered. I can drive to the nearest town for a walk but its an hour round trip. Piloxing class tonight although we are expecting storm Lorenzo to hit so it could be cancelled.
4th Oct: 138.5. I'm so appreciative that alls going well for me. Stayed within calories, got my steps in and had a piloxing class last night. Another piloxing class tonight. Quiet weekend ahead, but I'll get walks in with the dogs. Promised my boys we'd have a chips and pizza movie night tomorrow night. I haven't had fast food in a long time so I am going to budget for 2 slices of pizza and a bag of chips. We are renting a carpet cleaner for the weekend so I'll be busy washing the couches and carpets. Oh.. and my car seats! I'm a bit of a cleaning nerd.
5th Oct: 138.25. Good day yesterday. Stayed within calories and did my piloxing class.
6th Oct: 140.5. Chips and pizza family night last night. Stayed within calories so not worried about the slight increase.
7th Oct: 141.75. Bad day yesterday. TOM and boy its bad (TMI). Walked the dogs up the woods and had shepherds pie for dinner. It all went downhill from there. There was buttery toast, chocolate bars, biscuits. No end to my snacking. Its like I lost total self control!! Did A LOT of housework too though. Back to normal today. One of the girls brought in caramel rice crispy squares - I did have one but I have it logged. Someone else brought in a box of chocolates... not going to TOUCH them as if I do, I wont be able to stop at 1. Son has training tonight so I'll walk the dog for an hour, get my steps in. Want to finish this round back in the 139's.
8th Oct: 140.5. Went 150 cals over yesterday. So.... I didn't manage to resist the sweets... I ate 9 and logged them..450 calories. SO not worth it. Literally had bread and jam for my tea before bed, was so short on calories. Today my aim is to resist the box of sweets. Good drop today though, I managed to get 16k steps yesterday. Piloxing class tonight, so if I could finish this round in the 139's I'd be delighted. Still TOM though so we'll see.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30: 195.6
10/1: 196.8 Not the greatest day calorie-wise yesterday, but I have a tough workout planned this morning. Will bounce back! 😊
10/2: 196.6 Slow progress, but going in the right direction.
10/3: 198.0 I banked extra calories on Tuesday in anticipation of a high calorie day yesterday. A little disheartening, but will keep plugging away at it.
10/4: 198.0 Choosing to look at the big picture today instead of letting myself get down. I’ve made it under the 200 lb mark, and I’m grateful for that accomplishment. 😊
10/5: 196.8 My weight seems to be all over the place this week. 🤷♀️
10/6: 195.8 Almost back to where I started. 😊
10/7: 195.2 Happy with today’s weigh-in! 😊

My goal for this round is to avoid binge eating and stress eating. Avoid sugar and hopefully lose a little bit of weight
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 80.9 I gained weight during the last round. There was a lot of stress and I dealt with it partly by eating a lot, mostly candy. But now most of the stress is gone and I can get back on track again
10/01 80.9kg I was so tired yesterday and got hardly anything done. Periods really does sucks sometimes. But hopefully I’ll get started with some exercise again today.
10/02 81.0kg Jump rope for 25 minutes and a very small walk
10/03 81.3kg
10/04 81.4kg My diet is not the best right now. But atleast I am getting my exercise done. There’s such a big difference in my body weighing around 80 kg now when I lift weight and try to keep as active as possible from weighing 80 kg about 5-6 years ago when I didn’t exercise at all. I am still overweight now and I definitely want to lose so I get back at a healthy weight. But I don’t feel as uncomfortable in my body as I used to do and I am very happy about that. Getting started with a consistent exercise routine is probably the best thing I have ever done for my health (+quit smoking).

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 -191.9- I used to panic if I had an uptick in weight. I wanted a fast solution and I took even a small fluctuation as a failure on my part which then led to failure on my part. Now I know fluctuations are normal and I am doing well if I trend downward over time. Stick to the program and it will work!
10/01 -191.6- I went walking yesterday and it is so hot here in KY, still in the 90's. Come on fall temps!
10/02 -190.7- Keep going! You are worth it!
10/03 -190.1- My back and legs hurt after walking last night. I swear I think it is the hot temps that are to blame. Thankfully, the weather is about to turn fall-ish around here!
10/04 -189.9- Slow and steady, that's what I am aiming for! With my daily walk I have about 1500 calories to work with. I am not going hungry at all and I can even work in things like a serving of chips (not 3/4ths of a large bag!) now and then. I want this to be a healthy lifestyle change and not just fast weight loss so I am aiming for sustainability.
10/05 -190.5- Time for the weekend!
10/06 -189.7-
10/07 -189.4- .6 of a pound to goal for this round. Two more days, we got this!
10/08 -188.9- This is a welcome surprise. I did not feel well yesterday so I expected an uptick this morning. We will probably eat out tonight and that will be both nice and a challenge to stay within calories!

Result:
09/30:203.4. I will be pretty strict for this week. Hoping to lose 10lbs in the next 3.5 weeks before vacation
10/01: 204.8. This is directly the result of poor choices. It is not real weight gain & will go away.
10/02: 204. Better day yesterday but still a bit out of control. Today will be better since I had better sleep & will go to yoga after work.
10/03:202.6 getting there but still not where I want my eating to be. I cooked last night & that should help me stick to my goals a little better
10/04: 201.4 I had a good day yesterday. I decided that rather then white knuckle through the afternoon I separated my lunch into 2 and ate half at 3:30. That really helped. I hope to keep seeing this downward trend through the weekend
10/05: 202. I had a cooler last night. I should have skipped it but it explains the pop up.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 – 145 – I’m glad I didn’t go up anymore. I’ve got the water ready along with some healthier snacks for the office this week.
10/01 – 144.5 – I started a short work out program with my husband yesterday.
10/02 – 144 – OK!
10/03 – 144.5 – Worked out last night, but I’ll have to start logging my food again. I know my little healthy snacks are adding up.
10/04 – 143.5 – I’m happy to see a little drop before the weekend. I’m going to really watch this weekend’s calories and try to do a couple short workouts.
10/05 – 144.5
10/06 – 145.5
10/07 – 146 – Ouch! I know I had extra sodium this weekend, but I also know I’m adding extra snacks during the day too. I bought some grape tomatoes and grapes yesterday to keep my hands off the pretzels and mini chocolate bars I’ve been popping in my mouth instead of a cigarette. I’ll be drinking plenty of water today.
10/08 – 145.5 – The water did not help as much as I had hoped.

09/30: 163.8
10/01: 163.4-lunch with a friend, 50 minutes on the elliptical.
10/02: 163.4-9 mile bike ride, gorgeous day. Disappointed no change but put on old “painting pants” today and they fit far better. Off to stain my deck!
10/03: 162!-After 7 hours of hard physical labor; hope it isn’t just dehydration, it was brutally hot. Rest day.
10/04: 162-No bump up, yay, for now.
10/05: 162.2-Okay with the bump. One hour kayaking on a windy, gorgeous day. Dinner was especially satisfying (bean tostada).
10/06: 162.2-A little light on the exercise today, but a good day.
10/07:162.2-pushed through on the elliptical, 55 minutes.

Goal this round: Get back on track with eating and water and workouts (even if just taking walks regularly). Lose the excess weight I've put on the last month (~6lbs so maybe not all of it) before BF gets home from AZ (tentatively scheduled for 17 Oct but could be as early as 11 Oct) and to feel better about myself by my birthday (9 Oct)

10/08 - 160.1 - Not bad for TOM arriving yesterday afternoon. I've tried Kombucha lately and now I love it. I don't feel so bloated! Unfortunately, I have to go out of my way into a different town to get it because my town's store doesn't have it. So today I'm going without for the first time in 4 days ): Unless I can get some to have with dinner tonight. Going to stock up. And now lactose bothers me even less so maybe I can naturally get my calcium! Did my first run yesterday. Doing a 5k training on Nike Run Club and it was 10 minutes. First time in years (army- before my broken back) I ran 10 minutes without stopping. So proud. Tomorrow I have a benchmark run of 15 minutes. It'll be good to help offset my dinner the neighbor mamas are taking me to! Depending on how I feel, I may go walk it off during lunch today or just take the dog for a walk tonight.
10/09
Previous Day's Comments09/30 - BF left for AZ for 2-3 weeks for work so I'm dog sitting at his house. No scale. This round ends on my birthday so I'm going to try to not discourage myself with numbers and just try to focus on intuitive eating instead. Yesterday was bad for me and I'm sure I'm WAY up. I just couldn't satisfy my hunger no matter what. But I did take the dog for a walk so I got some movement in. Today is focused on water and eating in moderation (I have leftovers I don't want to waste since it was an expensive dinner for the early birthday celebration for BF's youngest. They have veggies and protein so I'll try to eat those before I indulge on the yummy rice.) Trying to get more movement in today as well. I have no major meetings so I'm going to try to hit the gym for a small easy workout.
10/01 - Not as horrid as I thought but I'm so close to my highest weight. Eek. But we had a retirement party for a guy I'm close to and I got peer pressured into cake and ice cream. So I took a small piece of cake with as little icing as possible and a small scoop of ice cream. Then I did a run/walk for a mile in the gym. I didn't get to go grocery shopping yesterday but luckily I forgot my lunch leftovers in the work fridge so I have those for lunch today (not ideal but its not vending machine food). I'm eating a couple salami sticks from vending machine since I woke up with a grumbling stomach I've fought for about 2 hours now (I know its hunger for sure) while I drink coffee. Hopefully I can get a quick workout in again today during lunch. Tonight I'll be dog sitting so maybe, if it doesn't storm, I'll take the pup to get a harness and go for a walk. Worst case, I'll get the harness for Friday, since I'm off work.
10/02 - Last night was interesting. We had a chance of scattered thunderstorms. Then, as soon as I finished cooking dinner, sirens. It was blue skies for about 10 minutes after sirens (as I gather what I know my boyfriend would want me to try to save and get the dog out from her hiding spot) and then it hit. Apparently there was a rotation a few miles away from the house. Luckily no damage or anything crazy. Unfortunately, my adrenaline was sky high and my food was cold so I only ate about half my dinner and then splurged on a chocolate bar. All well within calories but still makes me wonder what will happen. I don't feel so bloated today so that's a plus. I made 2 servings of my dinner so I had lunch for today but now I have 1 1/2 servings. I don't know if I should wait on cooking up the beef and zoodles tonight or if I should freeze my half serving for Thursday night/Friday. I'm afraid I won't have enough for lunch tomorrow so I guess that will be determined by how much I eat at lunch today. It is a big ol' filet of salmon so I doubt I'll finish and will have plenty. Water was okay, got my 66oz in but I need about 10 more to reach my goal. I had time last night, I just didn't. Oops. Not dog sitting tonight to save on some gas and maybe get some sleep so hopefully I can focus on me.
10/03 - Scale flashed 159.8 a few times taunting me with my 150s again. I can't believe that 145-150 used to be my stuck place and now it seems I keep going to the 160s. Until late 2018/early 2019, I'd never been in the 160s before. Ah well, I'm on a downward trend. I ended up at my neighbors playing Rummikub until it was too late so we 4 split a large pizza. I got veggies on mine and only had my two allocated slices (though I could've eaten way more) to stay within calories. The wonderful thing about splitting food with others! Wondering if that 159.8 number was telling me what I would've had if I ate my salmon and veggie dinner instead? But, I needed lunch for today and I was helping pay for the pizza. Hopefully I can squeeze in a workout today, despite it being so cold (finally hit 40*F here) and I won't want to go outside, even just to walk the quarter mile to our on-site gym at work. If not, I'll bundle up and take the dog for a walk tonight, weather permitting.

10/07 - Stayed night at BF's so no scale. Pup and I went for a walk on Friday and yesterday. Yesterday was really long because a stray dog kept following us. She isn't fixed yet (I think we can, now, but there was something medically we couldn't risk putting her under for) and the other dog didn't look it, either. So I got to the kids mom's place and she scared the dog off (the way I came from) so I had to take the long way around the opposite direction. Luckily, I just bought her a harness so it was much easier to control her and not have to worry about a collar slipping off and her running. Food wasn't great this weekend but I cooked some breakfast egg casserole Friday and some turkey&black bean tacos which I'm still slowly munching on. I have some other foods to cook this week, minus Wednesday. My lovely neighbors are taking me out for a birthday dinner (: A bit of a splurge I'm okay with. Just means I have to behave the rest of the week!

30: 222.0 I expected a gain this morning, maybe not quite so much though. I went to a fundraising meat raffle at a local bar and grill. Drank some red wine. I opted to cheat ordering deep fried pickles. Figured chicken wings would be a decent choice considered the menu options, but they had breading on them (usually bone-in wings don't around here). It all added up, but I had a lot of fun. I am glad that I don't frequent places that have an entire menu of unhealthy foods though. I'm also glad this is at the beginning of the round rather than the end.

2 - Run 3x week
3 - Water 1.5l
4 – Core workout 30 day challenge
Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:
09/30 Start Weight 157.6
10/01 156.0 lbs (-1.6) 13,775 steps, 4.15km run/walk, core challenge 02/30 ok. I was not expecting such a loss, especially after having a good drop the day before! I’m really pleased as I was stuck going up and down in the 157.x for two rounds and it was starting to get me really down! Also, with my running I’ve started doing a 30-day body core challenge app (planks), to stop my abs from wobbling around when I run lol
10/02 158.0 lbs (+2.0) 6.461, core challenge 03/30 done… Ok so that was a shock, I had guessed that it would go back up a bit but that was more than a bit pfff I ate well until 6pm when we got home and only had time to eat a couple of cheese sandwiches before the math teacher showed up for my DD and I didn’t have time to make myself anything “normally” healthy. Then I had the bad idea to top if off with a piece of cake. I had thought I could squeeze in a run but that didn’t happen either. Anyway, today is another day, healthier dinner is planned and a run this evening.
10/03 – 157.4 (-0.6) 1224 cal, 15.455 step, Core 04/30 done, 3.93km W7R1 done. Yesterday went ok, I did my run on a treadmill which I found quite hard but I admit it has advantages and disadvantages, I found it boring which is the main disadvantage but on the other hand I could increase speed incrementally easily and track my progress. Also I don’t have good balance so was quite stressed about falling off and ending up on one of those silly treadmill failure videos For food I’ve realized I’m better when I don’t eat in the evening after a run so I just had an apple
10/04 157.4 (0.0) 1278 cal, 11.887 steps, Core 5/30 done. All over a good day even if I didn’t loose any weight. I made a big batch of tomato soup which will last a while and curb any snacking hunger. I’ve got a very busy weekend ahead so I’ll have to plan my meals carefully!
10/05 157.4 (0.0)
10/06 159.7 (+2.3)
10/07 159.4 (-0.3) Core 07/30 ok -So the weekend was a wash out, my weekends are really starting to bug me. I put on weight every time and I’m just so busy, the stress of getting everything done combined with eating on the go is not working out at all. Next weekend is just as bad so I think I just have to sit down and set some priorities. I’m a bit annoyed with myself right now (and tired and cranky sorry)
10/08 157.4 (-2.0) 1248 cal, 8212 steps, so I'm back at my plateau weight again, it's a relief after yesterday
I was extra careful with type of food I ate. Today I've already been to the gym (during lunch break) and did a 3.5 km easy run on the treadmill followed by quick 15 min abs workout. I'll do my core workout tonight. I feel like I could have a snooze at my desk now lol

Hi-I’m Karen and I am back.
I was gone for a while doing the “30 Day Alcohol Experiment “. It is free online and it is time consuming because you get a video or two daily to watch and have to log in your diary, so I spent more time on that. It was very interesting because it helps you to figure out why you drink. It can also be used to figure out why you eat. It’s your conscience and subconscious not working together (cognitive dissonance)-you wake up in the morning, planning on have a great day of eating or living healthy and all of a sudden, it the end of the day and you’ve poured yourself a drink and grabbed the bag of chips and that’s dinner! Any way, it was educational learning about cravings only really lasting something like 7 minutes and dealing with things that trigger binging, and this can be applied to food, alcohol or even other problem areas in your life. I found it because I was searching in MFP for a “No Alcohol Challenge” and stumbled upon this. The end.
10/7-169-I’m getting over a cold and I still want my clothes to fit better!
10/8-169-Wow! That’s brutal! I didn’t eat hardly anything and thought I would be down 2 pounds after going to bed hungry. I’m off to the gym.11 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 190.2 (+2.4) man I'm bouncing all over the place! Still have this cold so maybe I'm retaining water? We will see what happens tomorrow.
10/01 189.8 (-0.4) yesterday was brutal. Sick still. Went to the metabolic clinic for my check in and apparently the 6lbs I've lost in these two weeks are solely water. Super disappointing since I felt like i was making progress. Guess I gotta double down.
10/02 188.8 (-1.0) stuck to plan. 12000 steps. No workout.
10/03 187.6 (-1.2) the clinic results have me wondering if I'm just losing water still. I don't see how it's possible since I was fairly low carb to begin with. I'm down a total of 10.5 lbs since Aug 12 or 7.5 weeks. Yesterday I didn't eat much. A stuffed pepper, an inch of pepperoni, a chicken stir fry (no rice) and a protein shake. I wasn't hungry and I had a lot of energy so maybe it's ok?
10/04 187 (-0.6) no energy yesterday although I did get my workout in. I'm not over this cold from last week so just feeling weak and tired.
10/05 187.2 (+0.2) food was ok. Did 13K steps. Sil sick and TOM coming up so I expect a water hike soon.
10/06 188.4 (+1.2) TOM weight. Ate within plan but did have two margaritas last night. Didn't seem to throw me out of ketosis this am so that's good.
10/07 189.2 (0.6) wrong way wrong way! Probably just TOM water weight still. Feeling so tired and weak def won't be doing my workout
10/08 187.4 (-1.8) ok water weight starting to drop. Hoping I drop another lb tomorrow. Lots of walking yesterday but no workout.

I wasn't as focused in R90 as I had hoped to be hence the minimal loss.
My plan for R91 is to re-focus, log and track properly and see a loss of 1-2lb....
Start Weight 138.0lb
09/30 - 142.4lb (+4.4lb) Hosted my Dad's birthday dinner last night so good food, good company and a couple of glasses of fizz to celebrate. So a temporary blip on the scale as I know I didn't eat enough to put on 4lb but due mainly due to more carbs, late evening eating and sodium. Food all planned for today and aiming to drink plenty of water ..... All is good, feeling positive and a new month starts tomorrow too! Happy Monday
10/01 - 139.6lb (-2.8lb) Glad I don't only weigh once a week as would have been very demoralised yesterday - this is why I love daily weighing and learning to understand the effect different foods have on the scale every day. Another good food day planned and a gym PT session tonight and my water bottle is at my side
10/02 - 138.8lb (-0.8lb) Will take this quite happily. All heading in the right direction, actually been logging my food properly, staying in allowance and drinking my water and amazingly the scale goes down ..... Who would have thought it eh ?
10/03 - 138.3lb (-0.5lb) Still heading in the right direction so all is good. Decent food day planned and gym tonight so all good and feeling positive
10/04 - 137.6lb (-0.7lb) Yay!!! Down to less than I started this round at last!
10/05 - 138.0lb (+0.4lb) Hhhmmm - and back to where I started again. Don't know why as ate slightly under calories yesterday so can only think it was lack of water. I don't work on a Friday and being at home I tend to forget to drink water - plenty of tea and coffee - just not plain water. Possibly this..... But then I do often find if I've had a few losing days then I will ping back up a bit then start losing again a couple of days later - not disheartenend as feeling in control at the minute so just got to make sure that carries on.
Have a good weekend everyone
10/06 - 139.9lb (+1.9lb) Artificially inflated as always on a Monday due to our usual Sunday family roast with parents but was really bad at drinking enough water over the weekend. Got so caught up with painting the room getting ready for new floor to be laid and delivery of our new kitchen over the next couple of weeks that I didn't drink nearly enough of anything let alone water! But back to normal weekday routine - at work every day which seems to make it so much easier for me to stay in a routine as sit at my desk with my water bottle in front of me plus I have a 60-90 minute journey each way every day that I get plenty of chance to drink my water. Have set myself up a target of 4 weeks to get back down to my holiday weight of 133 (if not more of course) (have my grandsons birthday party and fireworks celebrations that weekend so have an event to work towards rather than a vague date - seems to work better for me that way) - easily done if I stay focused and accountable 3, 2, 1 go!!!!
10/07 - 139.3lb (-0.6lb) A bit off - still would like more of a whoosh before round end though! Ate and drank well yesterday so all good. TOM arrived over 2 weeks late (well half heartedly arrived - but guess at 48 the end is in sight so guess it all going to start getting a bit weird and unpredictable!) Hopefully that will mean I will feel a bit less bloated as felt very "PMS'y" for the last 2-3 weeks. Good food day planned so here's to more of a drop tomorrow.

09/30 290.2 I wasn’t expecting that big of a drop today.
10/01 290.6 I expected a little bounce when I had chicken soup for lunch. I’m sure that it will be gone in a day or two and will hopefully take my cold with it.
10/02 289.8 I’m still fighting my cold but I’m managing to stay on track. This is the lowest that I’ve weighed in nearly 16 years. I was about this weight when I met my husband and a little higher than this when I got pregnant with my middle child.
10/03 288.8 I had a lot of energy yesterday, but my appetite was low. I got my new exercise bike yesterday and used it right away. I only did 20 minutes because I didn’t want to over push myself. My plan is to do 30 minutes a day.
10/04 289.0 I’m feeling dehydrated this morning. I don’t think I drank enough for how active I was yesterday. I’m a little sore and still fighting the last of my cold so I think I’ll take a rest day today.
10/05 287.8 I should have taken a rest day yesterday, but I didn’t. I will be taking it easy today.
10/06 287.0 I took a rest day yesterday and my sore hip is feeling much better. I have errands to run today and I’ll see if I can get some biking in afterwards or if my hip needs another day.
10/07 287.4 No hugs needed it’s a bounce from my activity level yesterday that included a kettlebell workout. My nsv was adding in an additional set of kettlebells.
10/08 286.8 A little down, but my sodium and water weren’t great yesterday.
