    I take measurements (cm) because they're less sensitive to salt intake.

    109.5 104.0 109.0 63.0 50.5 61.5 48.5 26th no sugar, eating under maintenance
    107.0 104.5 109.5 61.0 50.5 59.5 47.5 27th, eating under maintenance
    108.0 102.0 108.5 62.0 51.0 59.5 48.5 28th, eating under maintenance
    110.0 105.0 108.0 64.5 51.0 60.5 49.5 1st, eating under maintenance
    109.0 103.5 109.5 62.5 50.5 60.5 49.5 2nd, eating under maintenance
    107.5 104.5 108.5 62.5 50.5 59.5 48.5 3rd, no sugar, eating under maintenance
    107.0 103.5 108.0 62.0 50.0 60.0 48.5 4th


    I have about 28kg to lose which is likely to take 490 days, although apparently I've been trying to get to goal weight since Oct 2012 when I was last there.

    2/26- 195.8 (+.2) I was thinking this morning about the bounces, and ups and downs, in this weight loss journey. My bounces up are way lower than where they used to be and that brings a big smile to my face. I tried on some of the clothes in my closet. Several shirts and jackets were added to the donate pile. I’m fitting into some of my Large sized shirts. So exciting! I swam a mile in the pool yesterday and spent time working on a large painting that will be donated to raise funds for pediatric brain cancer. It’s one of the biggest I’ve done and I have a short time frame to finish. Almost there. Life is crazy busy developing new ideas and paintings. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Okay…maybe I’d add losing weight just a little faster.
    2/27- 194.4 (-1.2) I had lunch with friends yesterday that I hadn’t seen in over a year. I tried to be smart about my choices, but did eat more than I should. Today I’m walking with my sister and the dogs. It’s going to be really nice this week weather wise. I’m looking forward to being out more.
    2/28- 194.2 (-1.4) Swimming today. February included my maintenance break. I’m down 2.8 pounds for the month, which is a bit disappointing. But, down is down and considering a third of the month was in maintenance, that’s not too bad. It was interesting looking back at the journey since I got serious. June: -16.1# July: -6.2# August: -6.8#, September: -11.6# October: -8.2# November: -6.2# December: -7.2# January: -5.8# I track on the Happy Scale app. It’s nice to be able to see the big picture when I get discouraged.
    3/1- 193.0 (-2.6) Yay! A new low. My next mini-goal is to get into the 180’s. This will be challenging because I’m heading to an art class in Texas on Sunday with several friends. We plan to walk each day, but I’m not going to be so strict on eating, so I’m expecting a bit of a bounce. Still, the 180’s are in my future. If not this round, then the next one. :)
    3/2- 193.2 (-2.4) Another busy creative day ahead. Swimming twice a week is causing damage to my hair…all that chlorine. My hair stylist suggested a cap and shampoo designed for swimmers. There is a down side to exercise in the pool. Next time I go, I’ll totally soak down my hair before I jump in and in the meantime, find a cute swimming cap with lots of personality.
    3/3- 193.6 (-2.0) Looking forward to my short trip. Leaving on Sunday, so I won’t have access to a scale. I plan to fit in Orange Theory Fitness between meetings.
    3/4 193.6 (-2.0) Never did get to Orange Theory yesterday. I’ve been trying so hard to move forward on major projects before I leave on Sunday. I got a lot done yesterday. Did graze a bit too much with the added stress. Things will quiet down a little when I get back, so I plan to get back on my eating and exercise routine. The big painting is done!! It’s called, “Waiting Up” and is 48” x 36”. I’ll drop it off at Artma Denver next Friday so they can auction it off during their fund-raiser in April.
