Day/Weight/Comment
11/17 …..189.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/18 …..190.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.7) I’m a hot mess. Doctor called yesterday in regards to my blood work from last week’s PCP appointment. , Such low sodium that she is prescribing some type of medication for it (that explains the foot cramps), A1C 11.8, more diabetic medication being prescribed to go with what I am already taking, thyroid numbers bad again and medication will have to be increased. Atorvastatin is now going to be prescribed for my LDL cholesterol. I am thankful that some weight loss (original weight was 253) has helped me, especially in regards to my cancer remission. However, I have not done enough. And going backwards is causing my health improvements to do the same. What a horrible time for this to happen with all the upcoming holidays in the next (nearly) two months! But it’s now or never. I’ll take all those new pills but they will be bitter pills to swallow. I’ve got to start getting even more serious TODAY. I know what is needed.
11/19 …..190.8 ….. Trend weight 189.8) Unexpected travel yesterday yielded lots of sitting, only 5000+ steps and a restaurant meal. I’m glad I’m only up 0.2 but will it show up in the coming days? Time will tell……
11/20 …..190.2 ….. (Trend weight 189.8) I rolled up my sleeves and am ready to put in the work. A nice drop this morning.
11/21 …..187.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.5) Over 2.5 pounds down overnight which was a shock. I did expect a drop because TMI finally cooperated though leaving me cramped. I know I am probably dehydrated after such an eventful night so when I push water today it may lead to an uptick. I feel that if I have a good day today, tomorrow will show my true numbers. Meals were on point but snacks….notsomuch! I’ll work harder on the snack part today. I have healthy ones here, I just need to eat them and forget about the stuff that my daughter and DGS have here!

Starting Weight: 144.0 lbs (11/17)
Round Goal: 142.0 lbs, with the American Thanksgiving holiday taunting me next week
UGW: 135.0 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
11/18: 143.6
11/19: 143.0. I have just very slightly entered the "normal" BMI range (yay!). For many years, I have yo-yo'd up and down in the overweight range, towards the lower part of that range for a decade or so. I'm glad I've made it and I wish I knew why, this time, I have lost the weight. Certainly, mfp makes it easy to count calories (compared to long ago), but I have been on this site since 2013, so mfp's ease of counting calories is not the reason (although an amazing tool!). Onward to a few more pounds lower!
11/20: 142.9. Not too much excitement around my house right now, just getting the house cleaned for the Thanksgiving celebration next week.
11/21: 143.0.

Hi all, this is my second round, hoping to lose lots of weight, its a great help! 😀
30 year old, 5"3
SW: 174 pounds
Day/Weight/Comment
11/18/ 174/ long day, had to do alot of driving didn't have time to eat till late, had a small cottage pie 300cals and a small pancake, lots of tea and coffee. Didn't have time to take supplements.
11/19 / 173/ lost a pound, so happy 😊 taking adios tablets today, legs really hurt from youtube vid exercise two days ago, going to have hot bath, had to drive for over an hour today. I really feel I can keep this diet going, already lost 9 pounds, first benchmark of a stone lost is just five pounds away. I can do it this week! Motivation stays strong.
11/20/ 174/ don't understand why it went up, but its not going to just drop off over night, will try not to worry and keep going, only thing with any calories or carbs I ate today was a sausage roll. Cut down on my milky drinks, no more limitless cups of tea and coffee. Got this far in the day without hunger pangs making me snack, so doing well.
11/21/ 172/ down two pounds from round start, up early doesn't help snacking, felt my blood sugars where slightly low so had a biscuit and a proper dinner, was visiting parents so couldn't resist a home cooked meal made by mum. Still kept to my limit, drove 1 hr today so couldn't be bothered to excersise tonight, nothing planned for supper, so will have lots of camomile/ green/ spiced tea and look forward to weigh in tomorrow.

18: 217.6 ♀️ THERE it is. Great way to start off a new round.
19: 217.2 ♀️ Last night, my kids and I finished off the last of the high calorie bacon cheeseburger soup I made earlier this week. I had to guess on the macros. Not sure if I stayed within my calories or not, but I logged it the best I could. Next time, I'll create a recipe on here, so I can track it better. Going for a float session with a friend of mine this afternoon. It's been months since I've gone, so I'm really looking forward to it.
20: 215.9 I love seeing this progress! Logging my food is the "magic" key for me, along with checking in here daily. I'm very excited to see where I'll be by the end of this round!
My float session yesterday was great. I'm hoping to start going once a month. Need to wait to see if it's in my budget for December. If not, I'll start in January.
21: 215.3 Game day today, and it's a big one, so there will likely be a bump up tomorrow because of food and drinks. I intend to indulge in moderation.

That's awesome! I've heard of couple's tanks, but there isn't one anywhere near me. Is the tank you go to open or does it still have a hinged lid? Pretty sure I'd never get my guy into a closed tank but maybe an open one.

11/18 211.0 (-.8) Down 53 pounds! Yesterday was a busy day, but I made it a point to stay below my calorie plan. I didn’t quite get enough water, so I’ll be working on that today. I’m meeting a friend for lunch, so the scale will be up a bit over the next few days. Really hoping to be under 210 by the end of the round.
11/19 211.8 (0) Lunch with my friend was wonderful yesterday. It’s a crazy busy day today, but I will fit swimming in between meetings and errands.
11/20 212 (+.2) I had a really good day yesterday, but am not surprised by the slight bump. This is still from my indulgence meal on Thursday. Things should start dropping again tomorrow if I stay on track.
11/21 211.2 (-.6) Hiking today. My sister flies into town tomorrow and I’ll have company for the next two weeks. I want to enjoy spending time with her and my family, but still keep exercising and eating right most of the time. We are going to have fun.

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days11/18 Scale is still being weird. Did a nice recovery run this morning clocking in at 5.75 miles and an average of 11:42/mile. I’m now at my cousin’s place watching his English bull dogs until Sunday. I have brought lots of healthy foods with me and will be making myself chili (I have been craving it for weeks now) tomorrow for dinner. Dinner tonight will be Amy’s frozen Indian meals with a piece of naan. Breakfast and lunch was also on point today as well. I’m hoping my body and scale sort out the wonkiness so I can get a decent reading on the scale again. On the bright side, my running is getting better 😊.11/21 Did not weigh. Rest day. Headed home from dog sitting. Food has been good today but I just feel hungry in general even though I’ve eaten a normal amount of calories. I think I’m more hungry because I had less sleep this weekend than I normally get.
11/19 Did not post
11/20 Went for an epic run yesterday and a nice long slow run this morning. Did not weigh, still at my cousin’s place watching his two bull dogs. Food has been great and I even had a non scale victory of not eating this salted caramel blondie thing that’s here. I realized how much one serving was and realized it wasn’t worth the calories because it was about 200 calories for 1.5 oz. Instead of the brownie I had a serving of full fat plain yogurt (120 calories) with one of the peanut butter cookies(90 calories) I made and a tbs of the chocolate hazelnut butter (100 calories) for a total of 300ish calories and a whole lot more satisfying than 4 bites of a brownie.
Breakfast today: prerun- 2 raspberry zucchini corn muffins post run-full fat plain yogurt, honey crips apple, tbls chocolate hazelnut butter, 2 flourless peanut butter cookies plus a scoop of protein powder in water on the side. Lunch is going to be leftover chili and mac and cheese. Dinner will be a veggie miso broth based soup with a couple of eggs.

Round 169 goals: Pelo 2-3x/week; strength training 2-3x/week; 10,000 steps/day; <90 net carbs/day; release as much weight as I can!
CW: 198.2
11/18: 199.8 Not surprised by this. The monthly hormonal flux is in full effect. I also spent 2.5 hours in the car last night driving to pick up my husband at the airport. We got home after midnight and therefore I got a little less sleep than usual. This round may be a bust round again, but if I can hang right around this weight throughout, I’ll be happy. 58 net carbs yesterday and step goal nearly hit. On to today.
11/19: 200.0 I had a stressful day yesterday, so I’m surprised it wasn’t more. Surprisingly, this uptick this month isn’t bothering me yet. Usually I find it annoying and aggravating, but right now I’m totally fine with it… give me a few days! 😂 I hit my step goal, 42 net carbs, but ran out of hours in the day for the Pelo and strength. I WILL get both done today though! I get so cranky now when I don’t get my scheduled Pelo ride in!
11/20: 199.2 33 net carbs yesterday, step goal achieved, and Pelo ride done.
11/21: 199.8 I had a slice of my son’s birthday cake yesterday, which was extra sugar and flour I’m not used to. That’s life! 69 net carbs and step goal achieved though! On to the new week!

At the place we go the couple tank is open versus the individual tanks that are closed. It's quite nice - still wouldn't know there was a lid or not given how dark it is but yeah if the idea of it being closed gives him the creeps that would be a good idea for you two!3 -
Round 169 (101st for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
I am pleased that I got back on track last round. There is only 37 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 5 pounds for then, that is only 5.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and give it a go. Feeling already better about the dress I want to wear for the start of December for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic, cases are continuing to rise: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

**************************************
11/18 143.6 (trend 145.9) Big ol' drop overnight of 2.6lbs, this is totally out of character for me and I'm hoping it doesn't mean my scale needs replacing! I barely ate yesterday as I was still struggling with my digestion and wanted to give my system a break, seems to have worked nicely 😁 Also I realised that I did actually lose last round, I thought I had stayed the same but really I just can't count and had miscalculated my numbers so 0.4lbs lost last round, yay!
11/19 143.8 (trend 145.6) A little bounce back up but I'm still chuffed to bits with my progress after weeks of stagnation. Had an inactive day yesterday, I needed the rest. Feeling more energetic today so better make the most of it. Finished painting the kitchen finally after 4 coats on walls and ceiling so time to tidy up and move on to leveling the floor.
11/20 142.8 (trend 145.3) I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at the scale this morning and saw that 2.8... Holy moley!! So that puts me at bmi 24.9, I'm at a healthy weight! It's taken 140 days to lose 38lbs and go from class 1 obese to normal weight, so so excited! I am gonna have to give myself a reality check as my trend weight still needs to catch up and I'm bound to fluctuate back up a bit but wahey! Need to start planning what my next mini goal will be...
11/21 142.4 (trend 144.9) Still going down, lovely! I've been really active the last few days, down on hands and knees, trying to remove hardboard that's been glued and tacked down onto my floorboards, for 9 hours each day. I can really feel it in my muscles so I was expecting some water gain but nothing so far. I've got so much more energy than I did about 6 months ago, I was so tired all the time and my joints hurt. I'm much more flexible too, it just makes everything easier!
Hubby has been away for the last few days so I've had a lot more control over what I eat and drink, and less temptation!
11/22 141.8 (trend 144.4) No bounce back yet, fingers crossed it'll hold. Hubby came back yesterday and wanted us to go to the pub but I didn't want the temptation of a nice cool (carb and calorie laden) beer so we stayed home. Really trying break the drinking cycle at the moment, doing well. Can I go sober until Christmas? Maybe. He ordered a huge domino's pizza but I didn't have any, phew! Knowing what happened last time with the cramps, constipation and water retention makes it much easier to abstain.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

11/18 209.2 Walked 3 + .6 + 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Results from Grimaldi’s pizza for lunch and then Los Tios Mexican dinner.
11/19 209.6 Walked 1.3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Definitely not controlling the intake nor measuring it. Sigh …
11/20 209.1 Walked 3.3 + 3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 38th Anniversary dinner with DH at Ouisie’s Table, 2 glasses wine.
11/21 208.5 Walked.6 + 3 miles, 1860 cal, 58 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Meals were pretty good but I got into the snacks in the afternoon. Steak night and my sister joined us which leads to more wine.
11/22 207.0 Walked 3.6 miles, 2042 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Made this yummy Olive Garden like soup recipe Zuppa Toscana Soup but with cauliflower instead of potatoes. I use frozen cauliflower flowerets and spinach (draining them before adding to the pot). https://www.shugarysweets.com/low-carb-keto-zuppa-toscana-soup-recipe/

11/22 - 151.9 - Yippee, I was worried it'd take a few days to see any kind of drop. Still sore, I can tell by my roll-out-of-bed waddle haha! Knee has reduced to a dull ache (rather than sharp pain) but that doesn't mean anything. I thought it was just sore Halloween and when pain went away the next day I forgot about it. Obviously it didn't finish healing by Saturday when it flared up. At least I don't have another 5k scheduled until September (another Guinness World Record Attempt!) so I can rest it up. I think I'll focus on rowing in the next few weeks once I'm a little more healed up for a low-impact workout. Will hold off on walking the pup until after Thanksgiving. I'll take it day by day and see how I feel before jumping into anything. Water was amazing yesterday, over 100oz. Back at it today with flushing this uptick out. Need to go grocery shopping to try to avoid the Tuesday/Wednesday rush. I'm set to make my homemade bread, rolls, deviled eggs, and pecan pie for Friendsgiving with Fam. Will also stock up the house for lunch and dinner Monday-Wednesday.

Previous Day's Comments11/18 - Welp. TOM came unexpectedly a week and a half early. Just in time for race day. Dinner was a tad heavy, homemade a chicken, tomato, spinach, rice and turmeric dish with homemade naan bread that Fam made. I'm right at maintenance calories, maybe a tad over. Water was good, full 90oz. At this point, my body is all kinds of wonky. I'm feeling heavy, but I'm not looking overly bloated so I'm going to guess that's the functions of TOM, particularly with these new meds and being off-schedule. Why does my body have to make this so complicated?! Especially difficult because I'm waiting for January to fall under my work's health insurance. The VA does not offer my meds in their system (I'm currently on trial pack, but if I need to adjust dosage, I have to get from a pharmacy and I can't afford without insurance).
11/19 - At least I'm back out of the 150s. My body is on strike or something, I have no clue what's going on. I wonder if it's stress/anxiety plus TOM really messing me up? Likely is. Once this race is over tomorrow, I'll probably feel better. I don't know why I get so anxious for this type of stuff. Oh well, it's happening whether I like it or not. Hopefully tomorrow I'll wake up feeling less bloated and heavy. No scale so we will have to check in Sunday.
Edit to note: TMI is still all over the place. This also may be a HUGE factor in all this. Especially the "heavy but not quite bloated" feeling I've been having.
11/20 - 5k Race, out of town.
11/21 - First things first: 38:24. 1:03 slower than 6 years and a back surgery ago. Not bad! I'm quite happy. Now, the weight. Hormones still going crazy with fluctuations. TMI still not cooperating and getting on schedule. DOMS are kicking my butt (waddle waddle), eating out because we weren't home until late, and not quite enough water because driving and not having many places to stop for a restroom. Bad news: I think I sprained my ACL. FamWife is recreational therapist but obviously has some medical background for her certification and she said either ACL or meniscus but after doing research, I'm thinking more ACL due to the location. I've had patellofemoral syndrome every time I've run and this pain is vastly different. Deeper inside the knee, sharper, and it makes it feel like a bubble inside my knee causing it to be difficult and painful to bend or straighten it. Similar to Halloween knee pain, but that onset hours after the run and went away by the next day. This onset during the run and is still painful today. And it was more painful than Halloween's pain. Other bad news? I because of the potential for it to be ACL, I need to take it easy and get lots of rest. No long walks with the pup, no exercises that include the legs. Just slow movement to keep it from locking up, rest, ice, and elevation. Joy. Getting this uptick off me is going to strictly be food and water intake. Must behave for the rest of the week leading up to Thursday's Thanksgiving feast. Joy. I think I can do it, though. I'm not giving up, that's for sure.

Starting Weight: 166.6 lbs
Challenge Goal: 161 lbs
Ultimate Goal: 130 lbs
My challenge might seem high for 10 days, but I'm currently coming off a couple days of overindulgence and tend to float more around 164, putting my challenge at more 3 lbs down! I hoping to see some of the bloat come off quickly.
11/18 - 166.6 lbs - So ready for some daily focus with Thanksgiving approaching! I don't want holiday eating this year to stretch from Halloween to New Years, but rather occur only on the actual day!
11/19 - 165.8 lbs - Actually logged and stuck to my calorie goal yesterday, and look at the difference it made! I'm going to challenge myself to so this every day this challenge!
11/20 - 165.0 lbs. - Another day logged, another day of success! Wanted to see 164, but I can't be sad about a 0.8 lb loss. However, a bit nervous for today as I'm going to a wedding. I'm going to just trust myself and check in with myself while eating to make sure I'm not too full. Life doesn't stop when we're trying to get healthy and I need to learn how to work with these days!
11/21 - 165.0 lbs. - I am SO excited that I managed to maintain! It helped that we sat pretty far from the buffet so I was never really tempted to eat past my first plateful. Plus I may or may not have focused more on the drinks! But really pleased with that and hopefully I can still hold strong today while we are at my in-laws. They tend to want to overfeed us usually!
11/22 - 165.2 lbs. - Didn't track yesterday and my in-laws gave us a HUGE box of snacks that they bought for us..ugh. Didn't want to be rude so we took them, but I'm having my husband take them to work with him so that they aren't in the house. Ready to track today and hopefully see a jump down to 164 tomorrow!

11/18: 210.4 Weight has just kept falling off in the past week so I'm preparing myself for a little stagnation. I set my goal to 209.1 because that will mark 90 lbs lost and this round marks 7 months since starting this adventure. Excited to get there and then keep it going for another 30 lbs!
11/19: 211.9 Oof! I definitely didn't work out as hard this morning (my alarm didn't go off) but still got 30 minutes in. Snacked last night after a really small lunch and stressful work day. Have to control those urges in the weekend. Looking to do at least 1 hour of rides per day.
11/20: 209.9
11/21: 209.9
11/22: 211.0 - Not in the least bit surprised about this. Got some personal news this weekend and drank Friday/Saturday which came with snacking and not working out as hard as I always do on Sundays. 3 days until Thanksgiving. I just have to be good and work out.

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days11/18 Scale is still being weird. Did a nice recovery run this morning clocking in at 5.75 miles and an average of 11:42/mile. I’m now at my cousin’s place watching his English bull dogs until Sunday. I have brought lots of healthy foods with me and will be making myself chili (I have been craving it for weeks now) tomorrow for dinner. Dinner tonight will be Amy’s frozen Indian meals with a piece of naan. Breakfast and lunch was also on point today as well. I’m hoping my body and scale sort out the wonkiness so I can get a decent reading on the scale again. On the bright side, my running is getting better 😊.11/22 117.8 Post workout. Finally, back at a number I don’t mind seeing. Those 120 readings were making me nervous. I ran 6 miles this morning and plan to do my strength workout today during my lunch break. Breakfast was a strawberry beet smoothie (frozen strawberries, 1 small beet, frozen peaches, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, ginger, and coconut water), lunch will be akmak crackers with tahini and a drizzle of honey with an apple and maybe an ounce of cheese, and then dinner will be about 8oz of marinated skirt steak in a bulgogi marinade and the side will be brown rice, broccoli, and carrots. Feeling good! Happy Monday everyone!
11/19 Did not post
11/20 Went for an epic run yesterday and a nice long slow run this morning. Did not weigh, still at my cousin’s place watching his two bull dogs. Food has been great and I even had a non scale victory of not eating this salted caramel blondie thing that’s here. I realized how much one serving was and realized it wasn’t worth the calories because it was about 200 calories for 1.5 oz. Instead of the brownie I had a serving of full fat plain yogurt (120 calories) with one of the peanut butter cookies(90 calories) I made and a tbs of the chocolate hazelnut butter (100 calories) for a total of 300ish calories and a whole lot more satisfying than 4 bites of a brownie.
Breakfast today: prerun- 2 raspberry zucchini corn muffins post run-full fat plain yogurt, honey crips apple, tbls chocolate hazelnut butter, 2 flourless peanut butter cookies plus a scoop of protein powder in water on the side. Lunch is going to be leftover chili and mac and cheese. Dinner will be a veggie miso broth based soup with a couple of eggs.
11/21 Did not weigh. Rest day. Headed home from dog sitting. Food has been good today but I just feel hungry in general even though I’ve eaten a amount of calories. I think I’m more hungry because I had less sleep this weekend than I normally get.
Also, has anyone made their own water kefir? I'm looking into it but trying to figure out the time committment involved with it. I used to make my own kombucha. Water kefir seems a little less involved but it has a faster fermentation time, so I'm wondering if it all evens out because there would be more days a week I'm working with the water kefir versus one Saturday or Sunday morning for a couple of hours with the kombucha. I love the bubbly fermented drinks but they just get so expensive at $3+ per bottle.4 -
Wowsa! I try to read every post and all of you rock! While there are always bumps in the road here and there, I am so inspired by those who have been here for months, never giving up even when things get a bit tough. And I'm celebrating for all of you as you lose a little or a lot. With the holidays coming up, the focus here is amazing and really helps me stay on track. Thank you all!!

11/18 211.0 (-.8) Down 53 pounds! Yesterday was a busy day, but I made it a point to stay below my calorie plan. I didn’t quite get enough water, so I’ll be working on that today. I’m meeting a friend for lunch, so the scale will be up a bit over the next few days. Really hoping to be under 210 by the end of the round.
11/19 211.8 (0) Lunch with my friend was wonderful yesterday. It’s a crazy busy day today, but I will fit swimming in between meetings and errands.
11/20 212 (+.2) I had a really good day yesterday, but am not surprised by the slight bump. This is still from my indulgence meal on Thursday. Things should start dropping again tomorrow if I stay on track.
11/21 211.2 (-.6) Hiking today. My sister flies into town tomorrow and I’ll have company for the next two weeks. I want to enjoy spending time with her and my family, but still keep exercising and eating right most of the time. We are going to have fun.
11/22 210.6 (-1.2) This feels really good. My sister and I hiked over four miles yesterday with the dogs. It was chilly, but beautiful. My sisters planned a day at the pool tomorrow so I could still swim laps. They’ll be doing the lazy river section where they can walk against the current, while I swim. It’s so thoughtful and will be good for all of us. Today is busy with no organizes exercise. We’ll be doing our final grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. Our dinner will include art. The dining room table is always covered with art supplies so we can sculpt with air dry clay and paint before and after we eat. It’s become a fun family tradition.

18: 217.6 ♀️ THERE it is. Great way to start off a new round.
19: 217.2 ♀️ Last night, my kids and I finished off the last of the high calorie bacon cheeseburger soup I made earlier this week. I had to guess on the macros. Not sure if I stayed within my calories or not, but I logged it the best I could. Next time, I'll create a recipe on here, so I can track it better. Going for a float session with a friend of mine this afternoon. It's been months since I've gone, so I'm really looking forward to it.
20: 215.9 I love seeing this progress! Logging my food is the "magic" key for me, along with checking in here daily. I'm very excited to see where I'll be by the end of this round!
My float session yesterday was great. I'm hoping to start going once a month. Need to wait to see if it's in my budget for December. If not, I'll start in January.
21: 215.3 Game day today, and it's a big one, so there will likely be a bump up tomorrow because of food and drinks. I intend to indulge in moderation.
22: 214.4 The friend I was supposed to be going out to watch the game with had something else come up, so I watched the game alone at home. Saved myself some money and calories.💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Day/Weight/Comment
11/18 - 158.4 I'm not getting much exercise right now. I need to figure that out; I used to jog ~ 3x/week. My back isn't quite healed (I tried jogging a couple days ago) and work + other commitments are keeping me busy. . . .Weather isn't inspiring, but I've managed to jog all year long before. More or less.
11/19 - 160.0 A bit disappointing, but could be water from salty food or the previous weekend catching up to me.
