Slept terribly last night, but had a pretty good day. Will go to bed early. Got a large box of peaches yesterday. There is a yearly fundraiser that sells fruit and the peaches are always fantastic. So I will probably make a few pies on the weekend and freeze them.

Half way to my mini-goal of 60 days sticking with mfp, tracking and exercising.

@_JeffreyD_ What do you hear re: the Morton Pumpkin Festival for 2020? My cousin (Chuck H) was one of the inventors of "pumpkin "chucking". @Carol7878 I grew up on our farm between Heyworth and McLean--no better life. Looks like us 3 are nearly mid-state neighbors! @quiltingjaine are you still in IL? Love the square in Washington! !

Ha, the P-fest is mostly on line this year. There is opportunity for buying food, but carry out only. No carnival. No parade. Next year!

Pumpkin chucken usually happens a few weeks after the fest so the corn is picked and you can find them when they literally go a mile.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 125 (round 57 for me ) I'm in for another round (as always!) – I need to just keep going! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.

Female age 62 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 !

Goal for this round – to lose a pound. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

09/08 - 73.9 - Judo yesterday so probably retaining all the water although I'm not feeling that sore today, which is eternally worrying. Calories were under before the exercise calories so I've got a nice buffer for the rest of the week. Feeling very tired today, so not looking forward to my expenditure value for today.
09/09 - 73.5 - Well that's more like it. Yesterday was a pretty lazy day to be honest. I had a couple of things planned and instead I spent most of the evening sitting on the sofa playing games. I was tired, sue me. Actually I still am tired. Trying to find the motivation to go for a run at lunch today (which was my plan and one of the reasons I'm WFH today). I ate fine yesterday though, so you know, not all bad

09/04 - 191.6 I'm happy to see that. After my daughter's softball game yesterday she really wanted a caramel frappe from McDonalds, which also happens to be my weakness. I had iron clad willpower and didn't get one for myself as well lol I set my goal to lose 3 lbs in this challenge, which seems like a little too much but I really can't wait to see the 180's, so I'm hoping that my willpower sticks around! My youngest 2 kiddos and I are going to our lake lots to camp this weekend so I wont be weighing in tomorrow, and I'm sure there will be a small bump in my weight. Have a good weekend

09/05 - DNW. We are camping. Ate horribly yesterday 😮 I'm going to try to do way better today!

09/06 -193.4 We came home a day early from camping. I knew there would be a jump in my weight but I didn't think it would be nearly 2 lbs. For some reason even if I eat healthy when we are camping I still hold onto some extra weight for a few days. I'm still optimistic that I will see the 180's in this challenge, but if not, I won't beat myself up for it. I think this camping trip was our last for the summer and the 2 lbs was worth it

09/07 - 191.8 That's better! Happy Labor Day, hope you all have a great one! I work today so I will get plenty of steps in.

09/08 - 191.0 I definitely got plenty of steps in yesterday. I'm a waitress and I'm starting to see that my knees dont hurt as much anymore after a long busy shift. I'm very thankful for that. I was able to go for a walk last night and still had energy. I like these non scale victories as much as I do seeing the scale move!

09/09 - 189.8 I got to see the 180's, barely but I made it!! Now I just hope I can keep them around. The lowest I got the last time I tried to lose weight was 183, so that is my first mini goal this go around.

09/04 - 141.5 - This won't last but, wow, I haven't seen this weight since early March. We have a family picnic planned for Sunday and I expect to eat more than usual, so I'm glad I seem to be at the low end of maintenance for now.
09/05 - 142.5 - This is not a surprise. I taste tested too much while I was baking for the picnic. I ate lighter today and I'm planning to enjoy tomorrow with food and a few drinks so I'll just hope I can keep it below 145 on Monday.
09/06 - 143
09/07 - 143
09/08 - 144 - Back to the office after a long weekend and lots of food and drink. I'm going to stay at weight loss calories and hope to get back down to 143 by the end of the round.
09/09 - 144 - I'm happy I haven't continued to bump up.

09/09 - 156.5 - Pre-TOM weight kicking in, I guess. I feel back to normal as far as water weight goes but I know TOM will be here any day now. Upsetting coming off grace period feeling ok, like I'm back down in weight, only for my weigh in to be higher than I expected because hormones.... Hopefully it'll drop quickly, though. Going to keep chug-a-lugging my water. No walk, its raining like crazy. Woke up at 345 wide eyed and bushy tailed for absolutely no reason. Then got scared when my phone went off with a immediate danger flash flood warning. I might need a nap between all my meetings today. No walk, its still absolutely pouring rain and seems it will be for the rest of the week. Need to figure out how to get steps in while in this little house. Nowhere I walk is more than 5-6 steps before a 180 so getting a nice brisk pace is impossible. Maybe I just jog in place and hope for the best?

Previous Day's Comments

09/04 - Worth it! We had a mini girls night last night, I got to go to a new restaurant so I splurged a little trying things and had a glass of wine with dinner. The storm derailed our original plans which I planned my breakfast and lunch around but this new place was much fancier and harder to plan around. Ended up getting the grilled trout. I hit my water goal before leaving the house and had several glasses of water in between sipping my wine. We shall see how bad this derailed me tomorrow.
09/05 - DNP
09/06 - I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. The uptick was the day 2 of Girl's Night Friday and very much expected. We had our Fantasy football draft (its my first one in person) with Fam yesterday. It was crazy busy getting 3 drafts done and I DEFINITELY did not get water in. We had wings, tatortots, and fries available for food so it was that or nothing at all. I know sodium is high and dehydration retention is high so I decided to give myself grace today and tomorrow to recover before I subject myself to what is probably not pleasant weigh-ins. No need to mentally destroy myself for circumstances not entirely under my control. I will be catching up this morning on yesterday's updates and I will be back to post tomorrow, assuming nothing crazy interrupts my morning, to stay accountable and get the much needed support to be back on track. Love you all so dearly!
09/07 - Late posting, but had a busy busy day that started earlier than normal for days off. Ended up getting to go to the zoo with Fam (BF and I's first time) because they secured day passes and requested 2 free guests off their annual membership in case we said yes. Then pitstop at Old Navy for FamWife and I to get clothes for an impromptu river swim on the way home. Lunch wasn't great- taco bell, but all the other places nearby the zoo were closed or super duper busy. Kept it small and simple. Dinner was homemade shrimp pad thai and egg rolls with some tofu on the side and a kale salad. May have had a little too much of pad thai but the veggies and shrimp in it were so amazing. Water was super expensive (and couldn't bring your own) so I'm short on water, but still chugging away. A lot more walking than I anticipated, but less than I'd like (by the time I was ready to go for my morning walk, I had to shower super quick to leave on time). I'll still come to post regardless of weigh-in decision which I'll make depending on how I feel when I wake up. Choosing to take a mental break so I don't overstress or freak out over a false high (I call them false because its mostly water retention and bloating, not actual fat) is a really really pleasant thing and I wish I had given myself that opportunity in the past rather than beat myself up and super restrict. Its freeing knowing that I've learned so much about my body from this group that I can step away when I know its necessary but still have the support of the group with no judgement.
09/08 - Woke up late for work... Luckily not too late and boss was super chill when he realized I made it to the meeting (I was about 10 minutes late to meeting but he didn't realize I was on until we all almost hung up). Didn't want to weigh in this morning anyway, so this was simply the universe ensuring I couldn't. I chugged water while on the call before ever stepping into the bathroom where the scale is. I feel so dehydrated and bloated this am. I know it is all water weight from yesterday. With that, today's goals: get a walk in once I can get to my closet without waking up BF, focus on water intake, and eat good, healthy, filling foods. Also, get back on IF. I may not hit the full 16, but aiming for at least 15 hours due to a later than normal dinner yesterday. Edit: Walking may not happen as it just started pouring rain. I didn't realize it was supposed to rain before Wednesday! Maybe, if it calms down this evening and dinner isn't too late, I'll take the pup out for an after-dinner walk. Its been getting darker earlier so my evening walks have been suffering a bit.

I retested my blood sugar this morning and it was 102. I had a small panic attack yesterday before I tested, and Dr. Google suggests that might have sent some extra glucose into my system. We'll see what happens next week. I'm also excited that I fit into a dress yesterday that didn't fit last summer. I was heartbroken last summer, I love that dress. Now if I only had anywhere to wear it!

Round 125 SW: 178.9 (on 9/3/20)

09/04 – 178.6 – I had a piece of celebration cake yesterday and eliminated some of the other carbs I had planned for the day. The substitute seems to have worked.
09/05 – 179.1 – It’s that TOM, I know I ate more sodium, and my hands feel puffy today. Yep, water retention!
09/05 – 179.1 – Not too bad considering that yesterday I caved into stress and emotional eating. I guess I didn’t overdo it as bad as I thought?
09/06 – 178.5 – I finally feels like I am settling into the 170s and can say goodbye to the 180s!!
09/07 – 178.4 – I wasn’t able to get all of my steps in yesterday, but I met my calorie goal.
09/08 – 178.7 – Seems a little bit of a fluctuation. I managed my 3 goals of calories, steps and water yesterday, but I feel so scattered this week it’s all I can do to hold onto those 3 goals.

9/4 - 181.2 - 1357 - snack <200 - walked 70 min 😊
Yesterday was a good day. For whatever reason(s), I feel much more in control and determined. I seem to be succeeding at curtailing my night-time snack habit. I’ve set a goal of losing 1 pound/round, which seems realistic even with holiday season coming up. I guess one good thing about the lack of social gatherings is the reduced supply of beautiful goodies everywhere! Anyway, here’s to a great round for everyone.

9/5 - 182 - 1372 - snack >200 ☹️ - walked 50 min
There’s an uptick that makes me scratch my head. Oh, well. I’ve been making my calorie goal and my average is just barely higher, so on the right track. It’s cool and lovely here today and I hope to finish my current garden bed expansion and then maybe do some painting. All good! Have a lovely Saturday, all!

9/6 - 181.2 - 1672 - snack 🍨 >200 😐 - 3 hrs digging and hauling dirt 🙂
I went over my goal yesterday but did a lot of heavy work in the garden, and I was hungry! It’s ok, and I finished expanding one border, so the new area is read for plating. Today’s project — refinishing an end table I got for $20. This morning I sanded the old finish off the top. I plant to put a light stain on it and paint the body and legs. Primer on the lower parts this afternoon! Do something creative today — it’s good for the soul!

9/7 - 181.8 - 1659 ☹️ - snack Triscuits & cheese - walked 65 min
No idea why I got snacky last night, but today will be better. I’ve promised myself! Off to get stain for my end table top. I painted the body and legs yesterday and they look great — I’m excited to see it finished! Have a safe & happy Labor Day, and remember the people who worked hard for workers’ benefits and safety.

9/8 - 181.4 - 1507 - snack 🍿
Ok, holiday over, back to fighting off the snack monster. Lots to do today, which should help. I finished my end table makeover. Still drying, so ignore the backdrop, but what do you think? It started with a beat up, very dark cherry finish.

9/9 - 182.4 ☹️ - 1735 ☹️ - snack 🍨
Aaack! Very very not-on-track day yesterday! We had tuna casserole for dinner (yep, the old-fashioned kind) and then for who knows why I had ice cream later. I wasn’t even hungry. 😡 Obviously some of the gain is water, but still.... otoh, my calorie average is below maintenance, so this should be a minor glitch. It’s really cool today, so off for a long walk. I read how on track the rest of you are and feel inspired to get control again. Thank you all!

R125: Continue checking in daily even though we’ll be at our fishing camp with no scale. Every small habit still counts scale or no scale. This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
🎯Mini Goal: 225 I’ll not longer be morbidly obese
7 weeks till 60th birthday 💖
10 weeks till 37th wedding anniversary 💕
4 months till next physical 🩺

09/04 229.3 Starting this challenge off in the 20s! Never want to revisit the 30s again. Remember that as you go through a week without a scale. Don't want a surprise when I return for the next challenge! Today I’m walking 3 miles in this darn heat before driving 5 hours. Packed our lunch so that we don’t have a fast food emergency.
09/05 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Last night I forgot to thaw our steak so pulled out Plan B keto friendly frozen pizza. I’m so glad that I packed a few quick alternatives just in case since there are no restaurants near by. Plan to continue walking this week … 4 miles round trip thru the nearby county park to the boat ramp. I now have hand weights and yoga mats for the camp too for permanent residence here! Ready for the week.
09/06 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked! Food wise I was good for the majority of the day; however, 3 Saint Arnold Summer Pills at 155 calories & 11 carbs each was not a good choice as we sat outside during the evening. I did skip the chips & dip sitting in front of me and brought my own low carb tortillas for the fajitas.
09/07 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked my 3+ miles in the morning. Fished in the late afternoon. Sauted shrimp avocado salad for lunch & steak, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, cauliflower rice au gratin for dinner. Kept to my promise to myself 4 nights alcohol free per week … AF last night sipping on Fresca while others indulged. It was a wonderful day of me taking care of me
09/08 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked, fished, cooked fajitas (both chicken & beef so that we would have it for leftovers for the week), drank water, AF, tracked food … things are going as planned. While checking on my mom’s house yesterday afternoon I stepped on her scale and it indicated I’m still in the 220s … so not slipping back into the 230s! WHEW.
09/09 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked (jogged a little). Caught 3 large speckled trout fishing. Grilled Caprese Burger (homemade beef burger with butter lettuce, tomato, mozzarella, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and no bun) for dinner with what my kids call a skinny margarita on the rocks (tequila, cointreau, lime juice & light agave nectar). Overall good day.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Round 125
Month/Day: Weight / Comment

09/04: 209.4 / Fittingly, starting off with my ten-day average from round 124.

09/05: 207.0 / I am a bag of water. (and other things) I think I have recovered from my previous long weekend, just in time for another weekend. Today I help my son and his wife move, so I should burn a few calories. Hope I don’t eat them back. DW will probably be in charge of the precious 3 yr old prince of the family. 😊 Those of you with grandchildren know what I mean.

Have a good Labor Day weekend everyone!

09/06: 207.8 / Even though I logged everything yesterday and got a LOT of exercise, I somehow inched up this morning. Probably because yesterday was a false low. This is why I like to track averages and acknowledge Non-Scale-Victories. Going to try to practice gratitude today.

09/07: 209.4 / Trying to think what may have caused this. Oh, that’s right, I ate a lot. I also rode my bike, but not enough apparently. Planned hike today with DS and family. I might ride some more too.

I just had an extension put on my bike handlebars to I don’t have to bend so low. It was hard on my neck, and my hands were falling asleep. Much better now. I also bought a bike helmet for myself and DW. Inspired by more than one “slip-and-falls” in our families lately. I look like a dork, but oh well, who am I trying to impress?

On a different note, DM (dear mutt) just brought a dead cicada into the house in her mouth. She did NOT want to give it up. DW had to pull it out.

09/08: 210.4

09/09: 210.2 / As the weather gets cooler, I need to pay attention to my calories in-out balance. It seems like comfort food becomes more available and attractive and exercise becomes less available and less attractive.

Goal for this round: to lose 1 lb. It would be even better to get below 190!
I plan to keep my calories around 12-1300 each day and continue drinking all my water.

Round 124 SW 193.4 EW 191.6 (-1.8 )
Round 125 SW 191.8 EW ?

Day/Weight/Comment

09/04 191.8 to start this round. I didn't drink enough water yesterday and didn't realize it until bedtime. Also, I thought I came in at 1293 calories yesterday and then realized I also ate walnuts as I was cooking bc I waited too long to start dinner. Plan for today.. only snack at planned snack time. Do not eat mindlessly.

09/05 192.8 today, I didn't mindlessly snack but we went out for dinner last night. I had half a nacho order and it was DELICIOUS but I'm paying the price in salt water weight today! Water water!

09/06 191.6 water weight dropped off a bit. healthy groceries for this week with minimal "treats" so not very many temptations are available.

09/07 192.0 up down up down. My trend line on libra still shows down so I'll take it. I went to yoga yesterday and my shoulders and hamstrings are so sore today! Also my girlfriends and are have having an afternoon tea today complete with scones and clotted cream, so I'm budgeting my calories around that!

09/08 191.2 lowest number this round. we shall see about tomorrow, I had a higher cal day and a bit salty dinner.

09/09 192.4 sitting on the trend line today, so I hope for a drop tomorrow to keep the momentum going. Plan for today:
B: coffee and more coffee, greek yogurt and berries
L: greek Salad with chicken dressed with olive oil and balsamic
Snack: carrots and cucumbers with light ranch dip, green tea
Dinner : cod with lemon and green beans, cinnamon apples with chopped walnuts for dessert

Previous days

09/04 114.4 Got a soccer work out in this morning. Feeling sleepy and looking forward to the long holiday weekend. Having the Monday off will be nice and it’ll give me some extra time to cook something fun! I haven’t figured out what but I’m in the mood to experiment this weekend.
We had Bertucci’s delivered last night as a surprise from my father in law’s coworkers but it didn’t hit me too hard. It was a small piece of chicken parm, about 1 ½-2 cups spaghetti, salad, and a roll. I was full afterwards and didn’t feel icky…so that was good 😊. It didn’t make me retain too much water either, which was a plus for me. The meal train is dropping off a crustless quiche for dinner tonight which shouldn’t hurt the water retention either. I’ll just have to embrace the challenge of being ok with not knowing the calorie counts.

09/05 115.0 And up it goes. Meh, at least I know the time of the month that I am at my lowest weight. So, this is expected and I’m learning to embrace the fluctuations. The crustless quiche that was dropped off last night was delicious! It had spinach, basil, some sort of cheese mixed in and a layer of parmesan cheese on top. Tonight, for dinner we plan on making a homemade beef and broccoli dish with CSA broccoli and csa Flank steak. So that should be yummy too!
I plan on doing a spin bike workout this morning once my husband wakes up. Then, it’s most likely a chores day for me. Maybe we’ll go for a walk this morning too if he’s feeling energetic!

09/06 115.2 It’s been a great day so far. This morning my husband and I went for a nice 3ish mile walk and then I followed it up with a 45 minute spin bike workout from Youtube. Then, I got everything done I planned to do yesterday but had zero energy for. Yesterday, I didn’t end up exercising or doing any chores because I was just plain tired.
Today, I made a chorizo, pinto bean and brown rice stew in the pressure cooker. I used some Cajun seasoning, a little bit of onion, two baby bell peppers, ½ lb dried pinto beans, 1 cup dry brown rice, chicken broth, and 1lb of chorizo. First, I browned the chorizo and onion, then cooked the beans with the chorizo and chicken broth at high pressure for 27 minutes, then I added the rice to the beans and meat and cooked everything for another 22ish minutes. I didn’t measure the amount of chicken broth I used (I just eyeballed it). If I had to guess it was about 3-4 cups total of chicken broth. It made a total of 8 cups worth of food and I calculated it out as 2 cups is one serving = ~600 calories (588 if you want to get technical)
Earlier today, I got fancy and made us pancakes for breakfast. They were high fiber and my husband really liked them! .

09/07 114.6 I went for a really nice long walk this morning and multitasked on the phone by catching up with my mom, dad, and someone who is like another mom to me. It was perfect because it made the 8 miles fly by! I had a left-over pancake from yesterday for breakfast along with some fruit and yogurt. The only joking complaint my husband did end up having with the pancakes is that I “poisoned” him with all the fiber and he was tootin all day, lol! My belly is so used to it, it didn’t even bother me. We have a cookout planned with our immediate family today, so I will probably have a cheeseburger with corn on the cob, grilled eggplant, and some watermelon for dessert. I also have some cucumber salad planned for a snack in between. I’m sure I eat a few more things too because I have a good chunk of calories in green from my long walk.
I think the rest of the day will be a chill day laying on the bed with this cuddly fur ball 😊.

09/08 115.2 We went for a nice 5ish mile walk this morning and I ran the last mile of it. Cookout food went well last night, it was just a touch salty. Our CSA pick up was awesome yesterday! We got a big head of green cabbage for the first time, a gorgeous daikon radish and the biggest red radishes I’ve ever seen. We also got a couple of cute eggplants that I’m going to make a Crock-Pot Indian dish with them. There was even more produce that we got but I can’t remember everything. Today for breakfast/lunch, I plan on having the stew I made on Sunday and for a snack I’m going to make a microwave protein apple cake with one of the CSA apples we got. It’s usually a chocolate cake but I thought I would play with the recipe and add apple and applesauce to it with a few other spices. Then for dinner we are having steak tips and potatoes and salad for dinner. Have good day!

09/09 114.6 We did a good soccer workout this morning. Not too much excitement to report for today. I’m just looking forward to my fresh apples and nectarines to go with my yogurt and granola for breakfast today! Happy hump day!

@CamandJarvis --We really needed rain...but dang. We really didn't need the sky to fall the past couple days. Feel your pain by not being able to get out and walk. Jogging in place is a good idea!

09/04 141 Wow. I’m down 14.8 lbs since April and have 1 more pound to go before starting maintenance. One day at a time, choosing hope, intermittent fasting, and tracking along with people in THIS GROUP almost every morning have helped me meet my 10-day goals! Staying in community really does help! I never felt I had to lose weight before but 15 lbs makes such a big difference on my frame and on my mindset. I’m grateful for you all sharing your struggles and triumphs together and allowing me to be a part of it. Thank YOU for posting today. 🤗

09/09 - 156.5 - Pre-TOM weight kicking in, I guess. I feel back to normal as far as water weight goes but I know TOM will be here any day now. Upsetting coming off grace period feeling ok, like I'm back down in weight, only for my weigh in to be higher than I expected because hormones.... Hopefully it'll drop quickly, though. Going to keep chug-a-lugging my water. No walk, its raining like crazy. Woke up at 345 wide eyed and bushy tailed for absolutely no reason. Then got scared when my phone went off with a immediate danger flash flood warning. I might need a nap between all my meetings today. No walk, its still absolutely pouring rain and seems it will be for the rest of the week. Need to figure out how to get steps in while in this little house. Nowhere I walk is more than 5-6 steps before a 180 so getting a nice brisk pace is impossible. Maybe I just jog in place and hope for the best?

Previous Day's Comments

09/04 - Worth it! We had a mini girls night last night, I got to go to a new restaurant so I splurged a little trying things and had a glass of wine with dinner. The storm derailed our original plans which I planned my breakfast and lunch around but this new place was much fancier and harder to plan around. Ended up getting the grilled trout. I hit my water goal before leaving the house and had several glasses of water in between sipping my wine. We shall see how bad this derailed me tomorrow.
09/05 - DNP
09/06 - I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. The uptick was the day 2 of Girl's Night Friday and very much expected. We had our Fantasy football draft (its my first one in person) with Fam yesterday. It was crazy busy getting 3 drafts done and I DEFINITELY did not get water in. We had wings, tatortots, and fries available for food so it was that or nothing at all. I know sodium is high and dehydration retention is high so I decided to give myself grace today and tomorrow to recover before I subject myself to what is probably not pleasant weigh-ins. No need to mentally destroy myself for circumstances not entirely under my control. I will be catching up this morning on yesterday's updates and I will be back to post tomorrow, assuming nothing crazy interrupts my morning, to stay accountable and get the much needed support to be back on track. Love you all so dearly!
09/07 - Late posting, but had a busy busy day that started earlier than normal for days off. Ended up getting to go to the zoo with Fam (BF and I's first time) because they secured day passes and requested 2 free guests off their annual membership in case we said yes. Then pitstop at Old Navy for FamWife and I to get clothes for an impromptu river swim on the way home. Lunch wasn't great- taco bell, but all the other places nearby the zoo were closed or super duper busy. Kept it small and simple. Dinner was homemade shrimp pad thai and egg rolls with some tofu on the side and a kale salad. May have had a little too much of pad thai but the veggies and shrimp in it were so amazing. Water was super expensive (and couldn't bring your own) so I'm short on water, but still chugging away. A lot more walking than I anticipated, but less than I'd like (by the time I was ready to go for my morning walk, I had to shower super quick to leave on time). I'll still come to post regardless of weigh-in decision which I'll make depending on how I feel when I wake up. Choosing to take a mental break so I don't overstress or freak out over a false high (I call them false because its mostly water retention and bloating, not actual fat) is a really really pleasant thing and I wish I had given myself that opportunity in the past rather than beat myself up and super restrict. Its freeing knowing that I've learned so much about my body from this group that I can step away when I know its necessary but still have the support of the group with no judgement.
09/08 - Woke up late for work... Luckily not too late and boss was super chill when he realized I made it to the meeting (I was about 10 minutes late to meeting but he didn't realize I was on until we all almost hung up). Didn't want to weigh in this morning anyway, so this was simply the universe ensuring I couldn't. I chugged water while on the call before ever stepping into the bathroom where the scale is. I feel so dehydrated and bloated this am. I know it is all water weight from yesterday. With that, today's goals: get a walk in once I can get to my closet without waking up BF, focus on water intake, and eat good, healthy, filling foods. Also, get back on IF. I may not hit the full 16, but aiming for at least 15 hours due to a later than normal dinner yesterday. Edit: Walking may not happen as it just started pouring rain. I didn't realize it was supposed to rain before Wednesday! Maybe, if it calms down this evening and dinner isn't too late, I'll take the pup out for an after-dinner walk. Its been getting darker earlier so my evening walks have been suffering a bit.

You could do jumping jacks, high knees, maybe burpees if you have enough room, if you have a soccer ball or something you could do ball taps, maybe some kicks thrown in there, and/or whatever else... Or just blast some music and dance!

I retested my blood sugar this morning and it was 102. I had a small panic attack yesterday before I tested, and Dr. Google suggests that might have sent some extra glucose into my system. We'll see what happens next week. I'm also excited that I fit into a dress yesterday that didn't fit last summer. I was heartbroken last summer, I love that dress. Now if I only had anywhere to wear it!
