Thank you for the very quick responses thus far. I will get my "official" letter to sign once my drug test and background check come back (drug test results should be available Monday, if not Tuesday. Background check said 3-5 days when I looked at it about 2pm) so I won't say a word until I sign the official offer letter. I'm definitely not giving any kind of notice until I know I'm in this new job for sure and I certainly don't want to burn any bridges regardless.
The company I'm at is absolutely amazing but the offer is even better than what my current company could possibly give. If I didn't want to move to Texas so badly (for YEARS I've wanted to be in Texas, not just since BF moved -- that was just a motivation to try applying there again) and this offer wasn't THAT much better, I wouldn't be leaving because I love my job, the people I work with, and I have a pretty amazing boss. Definitely want to do right by them as much as I possibly can without screwing myself over. It's a fine line I'm walking right now between looking after myself and trying to be kind and courteous to them simultaneously. My coworker put her notice in today (as she leaves for her wedding/honeymoon on Tuesday) but she has a different boss/different department. She's in plant engineering, I'm a unicorn (I belong to the plant, but I report through central engineering so I kinda sorta report to 3 people, though only 1 is my "official" boss and the other 2 just assist my boss in performance monitoring). Hard to say what my boss' reaction would be...4 -

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 104 (round 36 for me ) I'm in for another round – keep plugging on! Thank you GrandmaJackie.
Female age 61 5' 4”
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
This round goal to just lose - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking & refrain from attacking the cookie jar and left over Christmas chocolates – plan is to put them in DH lunch box each day 'til they're gone!! - there are still residual bits hanging around hubby will have finished them by end of this week!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

02/07 135.2 – Only 3.14 miles walked, one reason for the increase & I did over indulge yesterday. Today Is a new day!
02/08 135.8 – sigh !! 9.66 miles walked yesterday. Calories exceeded by 306 – I hit the chocolate, must leave it alone!!
02/09 DNW – away from home helping our DD & SIL move house, DD had been readmitted to hospital following contracting an infection (sepsis) after giving birth to our delightful new grandson 2 weeks ago. Luckily, she reported her raised temperature to her midwife after 24 hours and so taken back into hospital, administered IV antibiotics until the sample of her blood was used to culture the bacteria to enable the lab to produce a personally tailored cocktail of antibiotics for her. She was again discharged yesterday and the spring in her step is returning. Thank goodness it was caught early. So she was encouraged to keep her feet up whilst the rest of us did the work!! We stayed in a local Travelodge, so no weigh in this am.
02/10 135.8 – only 1.94 miles walked yesterday
. Need to get back at it today.
02/11 135.4 – 9.58 miles walked yesterday, a good day ; 887 calories under & all macros in green. It makes so much difference when I get my walking in !
02/12 135.4 – 10.06 miles walked yesterday, 592 calories in credit and all other macros in green.
02/13 135 – 8.52 miles walked – lunch out with 3DS, & stayed within calories helped by light evening meal,361 calories in credit, fat 12 over, all other macros in green.
02/14 133.8 – YES!!!!! 10.41 miles walked yesterday, 943 calories in credit from calories out, all other macros well in green.

@MomLarisa - Happy birthday, hope you have a wonderful day xx

@CamandJarvis - I took early retirement a few years ago and had to give 4 months notice, I worked right up to the agreed date of finishing. In my 39 years experiance of working in the Civil Service unless there is reason to believe that the person handing in their notice has given any worry that they will **** up and leave a mess for colleagues to clear up or an embarrisment then the person is always allowed to work their notice. I am positvely sure that your boss will not only want you to work up to your end date but also work on a hand over plan too.
Also I, as others, I would urge you not to hand in your notice until you have the written offer, I have known people who have been left without a job when the verbal offer did not come to fruition. Employers expect prospective employees to have to work their notice. You also have those few days of holiday to help extend that 8-9 days to 14 days.
If you have a good relationship with your boss, you could even verbally tell him that there is a likelyhood of you handing in your notice on return from vacation, that will give hime the chance to make plans to start to replace you, I agree it's good to keep on his good side - you might need a good reference in the future, you never know. Hope I've helped. What ever you decide to do, I hope it goes well for you x.

Goal 121- half of my former self
Ultimate Goal- Maintain under 130
Goal every round is to get that average down by any number but seeing 145 would definitely make me do a happy dance (how many calories does that burn?)
R101 Average- 148.1
R102 Average- 147.0
R103 ——————— no average, bulk week
02/07- 148.2
02/08- 148.2
02/09- 152.2
02/10- 149.6
02/11- 148.2
02/12- 146.6
02/13- 147.6
02/14- 145.8
02/15- 146.0- it’s starting to feel like I really am going to be attacking 145 next round. Lol sometimes I don’t want to say or type confidence in my loss, especially since I’ve entered the slow bouncy stage of my journey. It can make those high numbers so disappointing. But I am confident that my numbers will keep moving down no matter how many times I bounce up!!! So YAY, the last four days have been my longest lowest streak!!!!!

02/07 - 145 - This was a little unexpected. I need to drink all the water today!
02/08 - 144 - OK!
02/09 - 145 - Up down up down. It's the weekend.
02/10 - 144.5 - Back to work, back to tracking.
02/11 - 144.5
02/12 - 145.5 - I have not been tracking. Work has been very stressful and I've turned to some of our tax season snacks. I posted breakfast in my diary this morning to try to keep me on track today.
02/13 - 144 - I tracked my calories and drank my water. I hope I can keep it up today.
02/14 - 143.5 - Finally below my starting weight this round. Now if I can hold it over the weekend...haha, I know better. It's OK though since I'm still trending lower.
02/15 - 144 - My husband decided he wanted to use his new indoor grill to make hamburgers last night and stopped at the store on the way home from work to pick up food like it was 4th of July. He was so excited to have summer food on Valentine's Day when it's 10F outside. We had so much fun it was worth the extra calories. I'll try to track better the rest of the weekend.

Round 104
Current weight: 200.4
Goal weight: 140
February goal: 190
10 day goal: Lose 2-3 lbs and keep sodium and sugar intake under control
Looking forward to more changes this round! I have adjusted goals since I didn’t meet all of goals in Round 103. Regardless, I am ready again for the journey.
Feb 7: 197.8 Wow! Didn’t expect that, although I finished up my period and had a good day keeping under sodium intake. I hope the rest of the challenge goes well!
Feb. 8: 199.1 Overindulged some chocolate! Thankfully, I am still in the 190s.
Feb. 9
Feb. 10: 199.9 Didn’t feel well the day before yesterday, so I didn’t weigh in. I think I need to up my water intake again.
Feb. 11: 198.5 Increasing my water intake has helped.
Feb. 12: 198.5
Feb. 13: 198.5
Feb. 14: 198.3 Not sure what is causing the stalemate, but I know for certain I am losing inches. I will have to go jean shopping soon!
Feb. 15: 198.5 ...I’m out of positive ways to feel about this...

2/7 - 178
Stuck to my calories in spite of a get together with home made scones. Yay!
2/8 - 178
Calories below target yesterday, and no late-night snacking. I did something to my back or hip (sharp pain over lower left back when I get up or down, or, you know, move). I can’t decide which is better for it, rest or a long walk. Ugh.
2/9 - 178
Pretty much stuck to calories, although I did sample the mocha buttercream frosting for a cake I made for a gathering today. Still in pain.
2/10 - 178.6
My bad. We had lunch at Fazoli’s so pasta and (just one!) bread stick, and I was hungry late so had a pb&j on Dave’s killer bread. So healthy but caloric. Oh well, this is life, and I have salmon and greens on line for lunch. My back is a little better, I think. New week — onward!
2/11 - 178
I’m surprised I’m back down. I had chocolate cake and some other caloric things yesterday to soothe my back. Sigh. Better choices today.
2/12 - 179
Ha, there it is, the Sunday splurge. It’s ok.

10F this morning. Brrrr. Happy Valentines Day! ❤️
2/15 - 179.2
That’s okay considering the Valentine lunch at Red Lobster with DH. And I mostly stuck to grilled salmon, broccoli, and salad, though I did have the triple threat chocolate brownie. 😜

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 170.9 Boys went to bed an hour later than normal and I didn't have the motivation after to go to the gym unfortunately.
02/08 - 170.0 Gathered the motivation to go to the gym even after a long day of training at work. The scale messed around in the 169's before settling at 170 even. Finger's crossed I break into the 160's tomorrow!
02/09 - 170.6 Well, I let myself cheat a little too much yesterday. I'm surprised this is all the gain I had since yesterday. I'll probably see the consequences of last night on my scale tomorrow too ...
02/10 - 170.0 Awesome! No more self-sabotaging.
02/11 - 169.5 Finally broke into the 160's!!
02/12 - 169.8 Well, I self-sabotaged yesterday. Too much pizza at a Survivor lunch party. Thankful to still be in the 160's. I hope I can keep this for the rest of the round!t
02/13 - 170.2 Can't say I'm surprised. I need to work on my self-control.
02/14 - 170.2 Made good decisions yesterday! Going to keep it going today! Realllyyyy wanting to end this round in the 169's.
02/15 -168.9 Wow! I didn’t exptect this this morning. My SO got my favorite snacks for me for Valentine’s Day and I did not eat them all in one sitting as I would have previously! Stayed under my calorie goal and got a workout it. Let’s hope I can keep it off!

02/07 242.6. Feels good to be taking steps to address the weight issue instead of continuing to surrender to it. Logging food is a must this time. Decided I wasn't hungry at breakfast so with the exception of a splash of skim in my coffee I have bee 15 hours between meals. Time for lunch now! Will keep it "between the lines."
02/08 240.8, morning blood sugar 117. I'll take it. Logging food did indeed make me consider choices and alternatives as the day waxed late and I had fewer calories left in the budget. Weekends are ALWAYS a problem for me, though, so I need to keep my head in the game.
02/09 238.8 morning blood sugar 112. This surprises me, as I gave in and ate 4 slices of french bread with dinner. (Blue cheese and honey drizzle, my resistance was futile.) Needless to say, I hadn't prepared for this splurge so I was 300 calories over target. I have to remember that, for me, the end result of the day starts with what decisions I make at breakfast. I also have to remember that for whatever reason it takes my body two days to show the consequences of a bad eating day, so I can't get too happy with today until I see tomorrow.
02/10 239.8. more later.
02/11 239.9 blood sugar 99. Well the sugar says I ate okay yesterday, even if the scale is still protesting about the weekend. Stayed under 1300 calories yesterday. But I woke up hungry this morning so I am going to have to plan carefully to avoid temptations. I see lots of water in my future!
02/12 no weigh in. Very rough day / night, spent a lot of it at emergency room with Wyfe. She has some very weird stuff going on with her blood chemistry. PCP saw her yesterday and called an ambulance, potassium levels so high they were afraid her heart might stop beating on the way to hospital. Many hours and many tests later they concluded she is not in imminent danger and she was sent home with instructions to see a hematologist as soon as she can schedule it. Aging is not for sissies. Anyway, as it applies to me, I ate junk yesterday and when I got home I completely spazzed out with emotional eating. The scale and I were not on speaking terms this morning.
02/13 240.4. This is out of hand. No breakfast today. Lunch today was 280 calories. Tossed salad with dried cranberries added, lite dressing, 2 campari tomatoes, SF jello, banana.
02/14 240.2 blood sugar 97. Happy valentine's day, everyone! Happy Friday!
02/15 238.0, blood sugar 138. Sugar is due to coconut cake and chocolate covered strawberries, a valentine's tradition for us that's older than my diabetes. But with everything going on now I didn't want to "not do it just this year." I have to work Sunday, so today is my weekend to shop and do chores.

Will this be the round that I leave behind the 260s for good?
2/7 – 259.2 I almost used my bounce up from last round as an excuse to overeat yesterday since it was my husband’s birthday. Instead I stuck to the plan that he and I had made and instead of the bounce I thought would come I had a loss. I’m so happy and very proud of myself for sticking to my plan. Hopefully this is finally the last of the 60s and I’ll see new lows this round.
2/8 – 259.0 I had a great day yesterday. My husband and I went out to eat and I stayed well within my plan. Plus we sat at this tiny booth, which was very nice. After that I went to get my haircut at a local spa. The hair salon is on the second floor and with the help of my cane I climbed the stairs and wasn’t winded. Last we bought some girl scout cookies and so far, I haven’t had even a single one. Though it doesn’t hurt that my husband has hidden them from me.
2/9 – 256.4 I was not expecting that, but I will gleefully take it. I’m going to hope for no to minimal bounce up from my body going wait I wanted some of that water.
2/10 – 256.4 I’m glad I didn’t see a bounce up today. Hopefully downward will be the trend for the rest of the round. I did find the thin mints yesterday, but I kept myself to only two of them with my lunch. My very helpful husband discovered that they were left out of the cabinet and ate the rest of the sleeve for me. Apparently, he also ate all the lemon ups, and the tagalongs by himself just so that I couldn’t be tempted by them, or so he claims. On the plus side there are no more girl scout cookies left in the house to tempt me.
2/11 – 256.6 I had a high carb and sodium day yesterday so I’m glad the bounce is minimal. My husband was annoyed and puzzled that he was up this morning. I reminded him gently that cookies eaten for someone else still count.
2/12 – 255.8 I managed two outside walks yesterday, one of them with my son, but he got a little too cold, so we cut it short. I’ve come to really enjoy the walks I get outside, especially the ones with my husband, they have been one of the biggest nsvs of my weight loss. I cannot wait for the weather to be nice enough for me to be outside nearly daily.
2/13 – 255.8 Apparently the pattern of this round is drop hold, drop hold. Still better than gains though.
2/14 – 257.0 One word, pizza. It’s okay though I knew this whole weekend would be odd and my weight would bounce around. Today I’m baking cookies with the kids and have a sensible dinner out planned. I just have to stay on plan and I should see the water start to go after the weekend.
2/15 – 258.2 I had a nice Valentines day, my husband got me roses and a necklace. I made cookies with the kids and stayed mostly on plan with those. Dinner was in plan, but the sodium in what I had was very high as was the carbs. I’ll see a downturn either tomorrow if I’m lucky or early next round.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/7: 147.6 (+.6): Going to try to focus on macros and leaving calories in the bank. 😎
2/8: 147.0 (-.6): This will change. I ate well but had my weekend cocktails. My dang right hip is not improving and after running very slowly for 3 miles, limped the rest of the day. I’m sure it’s a temp injury but finally decided to deal with it – going to Airrosti on Monday. In the meantime, I will walk, do my strength circuit, cycle, row…..whatever to keep burning. Weekends are tough for me 😏
2/9: 147.2 (+.2) Walked 7 miles. Hello advil. 🙄
2/10: 146.4 (-.8) Think this is just eating under my cals. Had a very lazy day after my long walk – low energy. Hoping to work through hip issues and get back to my normal exercise regime. 😎
2/11: 146.6 (+.2) It’s going to be a non normal week as I work through my hip injury. Went to Airrosti – painful deep tissue work, but hope it will break up the tightness and get me back on the trail sooner. So I can’t run till this weekend. I will just compensate in the gym and try to eat a little less.🤐
2/12: 145.8 (-.8) Surprised I am down. Didn’t eat terrible yesterday but it wasn’t great – relied on protein drinks (plant based) to get my protein. I am not doing great at the macro tracking. Just trying to focus on calories and exercise. But the macros is where your food choices come home to roost. I need to get back into cooking. 🙄
2/13: 144.8 (-1.0) Hahaha….nice number but its just that. A number. I chalk it up to not planning well and not eating much after my first meal at noon because I had to leave for a cooking class at 4 pm, which lasted from 6-9 pm. I had planned to bring a protein drink and bar but forgot them. So I ate late when I got home, some chicken, olives. I was well under my daily calorie needs. But this is not a good thing as I am in the corner of, eat what you your body needs after a workout to build muscle. The class was fun – Truffles!!! Picture to follow….🥰
2/14: 145.0 (+.2) Here comes the creep….But that’s cool. Need to eat good food and keep moving, and I will get there. And I am working on strength so I expect to have ups and downs due to changes in body fat and lean muscle, ultimately. Tonight, DH is making me dinner so I will chillax and enjoy! Happy Valentines Day to all – Love your selves for caring about your health, physical and mental!🥰💋💟
2/15: 145.0 (0) This will change – big meal last night and out the next 2 nights. I will try to make good choices and bank breakfast and lunch. But damn….those truffles I made were so good!!!!

@CamandJarvis First congrats on getting the job you want, that is always a blessing. As for leaving the job you HAVE, there is a fourth and a fifth option -- the first being, give as much notice as you possibly can. Especially if you are planning to leave for a vacation in the middle of your run out period. Effectively, if you give notice the day you are leaving to go on vacation or during your vacation, you are cutting down on the firm's use of you for transition anyway since you won't be there for much of your notice period. So if your required notice is two weeks (10 business days) I'd make sure you give them enough notice that you are actually in the office for at least ten days. Or (fifth option) cancel your vacation if the bonus is more important.
All this assumes you really have to ensure that you get the 2019 bonus, as opposed to you just really want it because you earned it. All three of your options in my opinion make the bonus vulnerable if reasonable notice is a cause for denying it to you. And if you are unsure how they will react to your leaving, you are already conceding that you don't trust them to look out for your interests and will possibly try to screw you over if you give them any reason. So if you decide to go one of those directions, my counsel is to write the bonus off in your head as aprice your willing to pay in order to get to Texas and your dream job. Embrace it and do not look back! And if you end up getting the bonus despite writing it off in your head, it truly will be, well, a BONUS!
I have been supervising folks for forty years. I have received short notices and long ones. I always appreciated extra notice from a skilled worker. I have never resented short notice if the person could not help it (e.g., forced early start date) but always resented it if I believed the person waited as long as possible to tell me out of selfish motivation. Don't make your boss resentful if you want him/her on your side on this bonus issue.
Peace,

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 162.2 lbs
02/08163.0 lbs
02/09 163.8 lbs. This is day three of major back pain and in order to medicate every three hours for some pain relief, I had to give up on intermittent fasting and my calorie goal was more like 1200 to 1500 the last couple days instead of 900 for loss. Plus only about 4000 steps a day. Thus the increase. Today it's a little better going to try to medicate less so I can meet a calorie goal of 1200 or less but steps are still going to be limited.
02/10 164 lbs Back is better but not great. around 1200 calories but only got 5500 steps in. Managed IF for 16 hours. Going to force the walking even with the shooting pain down my leg. I have babied it all weekend and it has made no difference. This is so discouraging. Obviously if I can't move than I can't eat.
02/11162.8 lbs I didn't medicate and calories were 808. Steps 12,800. Enough of this gaining business. Back is allowing more mobility, doesn't like sitting, so I worked on sandwiching my grandson's quilt together. Thankful our table is at bar height table so not much bending. I am going to work on hand quilting it as long as my back can take it.
02/12 161.8 lbs Calories 1005, steps 9,500. Back is still pinching, I am going to be so out of shape. But I did work 30 minutes on the quilt top than 15 minutes I had to move and than come back. So glad I have a project to work on. Or I would just be shoveling in the comfort food.
02/13 160.6 lbs Calories 707, steps 11,000 Back remains unchanged. At least this not being able to stay in one spot for long is getting in my steps, I just wish I could actually stride out and walk for a distance.
02/14 162 lbs Happy Valentine's Day!
02/15161.2 lbs Calories 578 steps 10,000. Ugh! I thought the back was on the mend and now it's "back" with a vengeance of pain. But I am getting under 161 this round. I have been hanging just above it for two rounds now. Enough.

@CamandJarvis I tried to send this privately but MFP! I won’t pretend to be able to keep those options straight. Here is my advice. If your boss adores you, as you do him, I believe you should tell him an excellent opportunity has opened up for you and your plans have changed. That you will be leaving after your vacation but have no firm date. Tell him you will be back after vacation to complete you handover documentation. Now, a question for you - what if he matches their offer? I have no idea where you work or if that is a possibility but . . .
Edited: Having just read your 2nd post, I would wait until after vacation. The one time I gave extra notice it cost me the “automatic” raise I would have gotten for one month. My last job I had for 23.5 years and made no secret of when I would be retiring. My co-workers were awesome about it as I counted down for 6 months or longer.2 -

Last night I hung out with my neighbor and we had a little dance party and drank wine but I also was distracted from the stress and madness of my life right now to get hungry and eat dinner. Need to focus on getting water in and getting calories in for fuel so I don't slip down that slope again. Will be packing, organizing and cleaning as much as I can. My landlandy is putting my house up for rent April 1st to try to get it rented prior to the end of my lease (in November) so I'm trying to do her a favor and get this place as ready as possible as I pack and clean so she can get it up for rent and start showing it asap without a ton of work needing to be done. Its a 3 bedroom house and just me so I can clean out 2 rooms (minus the spare bed) and have those ready. Same with my spare bathroom since I don't use it myself.
02/16 - Act: Trend:
Previous Day's Comments02/07 - It always makes me a bit nervous when I start a round down. The way I bounce around (and I seem to be doing that between 148.x and 149.x -- another stuck point similar to 154.x-155.x) I am scared if I start low, I'll end higher and have a gain for the round instead of a loss. Although that's okay, especially if its only small, it still messes with my head and gets me down a bit. I'm finally getting into a good mindset and down want to ruin that. I made crock pot 3-bean chili last night. First time ever making chili! We shall see how it is when it comes time to break my fast. I'm suuuuuper hungry this morning but I just brewed my coffee and hopefully that will get me through until its time to eat. I have to take my car in..again.. more $$ into this stupid thing.. only bought it for $4600 w/ tax and depending on how much today's work cost, I've invested ~$2200 in work over the last 3 weeks. Its kinda stressing me out (read: stress eating temptations) but I know if I get this job, I'll be needing a car good on gas that's reliable. And if I don't move before spring break, I'll have to have a safe car to take BF's kids down to him for spring break for all of us! Just have to survive the temptations of being in town. Especially since I'm planning on stopping at the store (amazing ad this week -- valentine's day meat deal and I need to stock up - haven't gone grocery shopping in about a month) before I head home so I don't have to waste time and gas going into town
02/08 - Was NOT expecting this. I went out to dinner last night with a friend and dinner was late, it was at a restaurant (hello, sodium!) and I had a beer (they're a taphouse, they make their own beers in the back of the restaurant and I was curious). But I will certainly take it! Gonna work on some glutes today (at home banded workouts and probably yoga) as I haven't been glute-focused and that is something my surgeon and physical therapist pushed hard for (my glutes/hips out of whack = back pain at fusion and puts me at risk for faster deterioration above it [where I already have deterioration -- don't want to speed up that process and require another fusion!]). Going to go get my lunch ready here in a bit. Going to cut my fast short as dinner was so late but I'm quite hungry. I still made it over 12 hours so I'm still getting the benefits of fasting and I'm making a conscious decision -- still working on not mindlessly eating but I'm making definite improvements! Also, would like to say that today marks 1 week since my last cigarette! BF is also trying to quit and even though we are in separate states, if he isn't smoking, I'm not. Its been so hard to quit since everyone around me smokes and I always get dragged in by those around me (I smell it, I see it, I crave it). But since we both gave up, last weekend when I saw him neither of us gave in (we are the only 2 in that friend group that used to) and I haven't spent time with my neighbor (who also said she wants to quit but its been super hard for her for the same reasons) I've been able to stay away. Saves money and my body! I still feel the hand-to-mouth motion craving but BF told me if I just push on my lips with my fingers, it helps. So far, it hasn't been perfect, but its worked well enough that I've stuck to it.
02/09 - I had a higher calorie day. Very calorie dense foods all day. I need to find a way to get more protein in without getting sick of it. I had a protein shake last night and pushed me into much higher calories so I'm quite surprised I'm not up much more than this. I like that a couple of lovely people are pushing for a 100g protein goal daily and I think I'd like to try 75g for awhile to get used to it before upping it to 100g, and then to 125g (which is a current calculated goal based on my weight -- it may change and I'll do that as I get closer to comfortable with the intake). Another lazy day before a full week of work (I really love having Fridays off, just wish it was every Friday haha)
02/10 - Late heavy dinner. It was spaghetti, but definitely ate quite late compared to normal and had more calories/sodium than I needed (but I was super hungry by that point). Boss is coming in today and he forgets to eat sometimes which means I don't get to eat at our normal lunch time due to us working together. I'd rather have a late heavy dinner and just fast longer today since it works out anyway. I'm sure this will drop off fairly quickly, especially since I can tell I'm just heavy and bloated. Started my BF trend yesterday -- I'm heavier today than I was yesterday but my body fat percentage went down today by 3%...this is why I never use the scan part of my scale. BUT this is simply to start the trend so I can report it at the beginning and end, not paying attention to the daily numbers. I wouldn't have been able to do that prior to this group as those crazy numbers would've spiraled me down and caused me to stress/emotional eat or start a crazy unhealthy diet. I'm not sure if the trend will work at all since these numbers seem so far off from my last bodpod scan (I have higher BF now than I did at 160 when I did the bodpod and yet physically, I look like I have less fat). Wish I could get another bodpod (free through the army) but not sure if they will allow veterans or if its only active duty.. I might have to check on that. Oh well, I won't know if the trending with my scale scan will work until I try it so I will give it a shot. If nothing else, I'll just have to go based on how I look/feel.
02/11 - And dropped back down like I expected it would (though shocked it dropped that low that quickly). I was so bloated (like a hard-belly bloat, not a soft fluffy bloat) last night. I did some yoga (YWA - Winter Blues and Digestion/When You Eat Too Much). Not sure how much it helped with the belly, but it definitely helped with my mental state surrounding it. I think its because I went carb-heavy last night since the chicken&rice soup wasn't thawed out by dinner (batch cooked a few weeks ago, froze half) and I only had ramen or mac and cheese available (everything else is frozen). I did have a halo orange for "dessert" and it was amazing. I'm back to being stuck on stupid when it comes to those! Better than a processed sweet treat, plus I can eat 1 or 2 and be content so portions aren't an issue. Either way, whatever I did, worked. It helped that I ate heavier/larger meal/snack at lunch and went lighter with just the ramen and halo orange for dinner. Wasn't super hungry after that, thankfully. Here's to another good day! Side note: I realized today I have to really pay attention how I place my feet on my scale. I didn't have my heel fully on the scan portion and I got 40% BF! I readjusted, did it again with my feet properly placed and I was at 33.1%, much closer to where I was yesterday. I will get this figured out. I did play with the settings on Libra and decided since I do these 10 day challenges, I will adjust my "smoothing" days to 10 days (it was at 14 days so I made it a bit more sensitive to each individual weight I input). It changed my goal date forecast from May 1st to April 6th! If that's not motivation to stay on track, I don't know what is.
02/12 - This is not accurate, though I rather like seeing the number. Its a new low, even if its a false low. I definitely forgot to eat last night. I was trying to pack what I could (they said 3-6 weeks once I accept and we'd work that date out once I start the admin stuff like background check and drug testing). I wasn't even hungry, I was just drinking my water like normal while I buzzed around my house gathering unnecessary things to pack away. Once I realized it, it was about 20 minutes before I put myself to bed and said it wasn't worth it to eat right then and face a potential tummy ache. So I had a little treat this morning so I didn't zombie until lunch. I'll resume 8hr eating window tomorrow and eat lunch/dinner as normal today. I'll call today my "feasting" day since I get to eat all day. With that, I expect a bounce up tomorrow and I'll be perfectly okay with it. Lunch and dinner planned out with leftover chicken and rice soup that finally thawed. Have a protein shake for a snack for extra protein and satiation.
02/13 - I was CONVINCED I'd be up today but I'm way down to another new low (2 days in a row?! What in the world...) I believe that is due to dehydration. I wasn't able to force myself to drink water like normal. I blame jitters and madness of everything going on. I was really carb heavy last night so I'm still quite surprised despite the water situation. Going to push water and eat normal today -- need to figure out dinner because that chicken and rice just doesn't seem appetizing (nothing wrong with it, but apparently my body and mind are teaming up against me to make me choose something else or starve rather than eat it). Oh well. I'll keep eating on it for lunch and hopefully finish it off this weekend. And maybe I'll bounce back up to a more comfortable number. This seems entirely too fast and unhealthy. Concerned its not body fat, but muscle wasting away on me
02/14 - Day 3 in a row of new lows. Still concerned. Had some wine last night but not much to eat. I was entirely too busy packing. I really only have about 4 weeks (give or take a few days for actual moving since I have to coordinate with BF) to get things in line since I'm taking the kids down for spring break beginning of March. That's 1 week less I have to pack and get things ready. Drug test should be done today (as long as I get the email I need) and hopefully also the paperwork for the background check. I won't get the "official" letter to sign affirming I accept until after drug test and background check results get back. Only then can we finalize a start date and I can coordinate moving appropriately (trying to avoid a large pay gap between the 2 since I'm already struggling and have to pay my own move down). Its been a bit stressful and I'm assuming that's why the scale is down. Once things settle down, I'll be good. Hopefully I won't gain too much back when that happens

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 371.6 - No change from yesterday. Slow and steady. I've lost almost 17 lbs. in the 4 weeks since starting this *Give me 10 days* challenge.
02/08 - 372.1 - A slight uptick, prolly from a little cheat day. Mom wanted a donut, so I bought one for myself. Put me very close to my caloric goal.
02/09 - 375.0 - Huge gain. I had an urge for pizza and cheesey bread. And ate most of it. If I start going down again over the next few days, I'm fine with the occasional splurge. If not, I may have to rethink the idea of a cheat day... at least to this degree.
02/10 - 373.8 - Coming back down after a really bad eating weekend. It's ok as long as it only happens very seldom.
02/11 - 372.8 - I'm staying with my initial thoughts that the occasional cheat day is ok, especially if it slows down a weight loss that is too rapid.
02/12 - 370.8 - Back to the downward trend. I might still make my goal to get under 370 before this round.
02/13 - 371.6 - I thought yesterday's drop was a bit much. So a 2-day drop of 1.2 seems more realistic. I'm good!
02/14 - 370.8 - Right direction again.
02/15 - 371.3 - It has to be stress. Job hunting sucks. Good thing is that I have 3 interviews this week.
