    Good morning (or afternoon, or evening) everyone!

    Posting my weigh in results from yesterday here now. In the past 4 weeks, my weight has gone down by 4.2 pounds. But the special scale used at my doctor’s office tells a more interesting story (well, to me anyway 🤩).

    Since my previous weigh in on August 25, I have:

    Shed 6 pounds of fat
    Gained 2 pounds of muscle
    Am carrying one additional pound of water weight.

    Interesting!?! I have to admit that my immediate reaction to the loss of 4.2 pounds was disappointment as I felt sure it should be greater than that. But the scale we see tells only one part of the tale.

    I am proud of my progress so far and very committed to keeping doing all that I am to get healthy and to learn how to stay healthy for life!

    22.2 pounds gone so far.

    Julie

    Amazing results ur hard work is paying off!!! Xox

    @jamcnewman - awesome! 🙌🏻

    Pass day.

    I admittedly need to up my accountability in October. Just need to make it through another week and a half of crazy. I’ve decided during that week and a half, I’m going to focus on good things in my posts and not whining.

    Today’s bit of sunshine: my Dino dress came and it is glorious 😍🦕🦖. Ignore the awkwardness of the selfie in the spoiler - I’m not good at those but the dress was too awesome not to share.

    @WhatMeRunning You are so right! I need the accountability with others. If I am only accountable to myself, I cheat and quickly rationalize why it is okay.
    Today's report:
    1) Calories: under my limit
    2) Tracking: a bit heavy on any estimates. Good
    3) Exercise: 50 minutes of walking and active stretching.

    Well said Rick. Xo

    Exercise - Did over an hour of stretching yesterday, because I stretched for morning exercise and then got caught up in watching a TV show that my wife put on at night, and did at least stretch through it. Sleep would probably have been better, but stretching was good. I also went for half an hour walk on a really pretty path.
    Tracking - even though I forgot to preplan the day before, I planned in the morning and followed that plan.
    Calories - under
    Pass days 8/3 I think

    I want to learn more about using my data to figure myself out. I've been in a plateau for the last month. When I follow the three things above I lose weight (slowly) but then when I take a day off I gain weight (quickly). I guess really my choices are either to take fewer pass days or lose weight more quickly on my regular days (have a lower calorie goal). Or both, I suppose. My calorie goal is 1400 and I usually earn about 150 exercise calories which I usually eat some of. I just had MFP recalculate and it says I should eat 1200 calories/day, plus exercise calories, to lose 1 pound a week. I'm not sure I know how to cut those extra 200 without feeling deprived. Any thoughts?

    ~~~9 / 23 /2021~~~ Waving Hi ~~ 🧚🏼 ~~ Autumn Has arrived ~~ BLESSings ALLways ~~ 💖 ~~

    Stay within my calorie budget for the day ...................... ✅ ... I am
    Keep track of everything I ate and drank ....................... ✅ .... I did

    STEPS......... 31,500+ ........ 30 m house cleaning ..... 170 walking added 30 more stress walk min.

    (Added another 30 minutes of a STRESS walk... My tooth crown broke off... good news...
    there is an opening at my Dentist, Friday at noon...
    (I still have the crown so hopefully just a re-glue)


    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ACCOUNTABILITY (also adding CONSISTANCY)
    along with being a part of UAC ... Has Definitely helped me to Stay on Track
    There definitely is something to be said about SEEing it Documented
    It also has helped turn Temptations YELLING into Whispers
    I think to myself... NOOOOOOOO I will have to document ....Teehee


    Documenting My CONSISTANCY = For personal ACCOUNTABILITY
    (if there is a P=instead of number its a Pass Day)
