    10/13: 226.2 @ 3:30am; 225.5 @ 6:30am Timing is everything I guess. No wonder they say sleep is important!

    10/13 - 159.8 - Whew, in the 150s again just in time for end of round. Yesterday was much better eating-wise and I managed all my water. Did get the 5 minute yoga in. No workout today but some meditation. Mental workouts are just as necessary and right now seems like the perfect time to do them to assist with my stress levels! Work is ramping up. I was assigned a new project yesterday morning (on top of all my other projects) and then right as quitting time came around, saw a notice about another project I'll be starting near the end of the month. Wowza. I am NOT sure how I'm going to do this. I need to figure out a good organization method for multiple projects and quick! Especially if I want to avoid stress eating... this will be interesting. Good news: Grandpa was more awake and alert yesterday. He isn't fully there, mentally, but he was able to open his eyes and he recognized my grandma (he couldn't do any of that a few days prior). My aunt made it there and was able to see him as well. He also recognized her, which is a very good sign. Not out of the woods, but MAJOR improvement from Tuesday's report. Aunt gave a little more technical report to my ma, but she didn't share too much with me on that other than what's mentioned above. Ma, dad, and I are staying put right now until we have more updates because they're in a similar situation as I am work-wise.

    10/10 - Between a full week of vacation and my birthday celebration yesterday, I'm actually not mad! I was very much expecting to be over 160 so seeing I'm still in the 150s is super exciting! I figured I needed to check in today to get a baseline starting point if nothing else. Unfortunately, my Fitbit finally, after 3 years, crashed and burned. I ordered myself a new one as my own birthday present and it should arrive tomorrow afternoon. I woke up naturally today 3 minutes before my noisy alarm and figured I might as well get up. BF took today off to recuperate a bit more and I don't need my phone alarm waking him up early, either. Going to ease into some morning yoga this morning since I wasn't planning on being awake and recovered enough for a workout. I'm not sure of dinner today but we have leftover smoked ribs from dinner yesterday I want to use up for lunch today. Hoping a week off from work doesn't make today super stressful for me and this transition back to reality isn't difficult, particularly in the stress-eating area. Glad to be back to all you wonderful people!
    10/11 - Expected as I rehydrate. I know it'll take a up to 3 days after rehydrating for my body to drop the water weight I've been holding on to. Yesterday was the first day I tracked and made sure I had my usual 90oz in full so I'm not expecting to see a drop until tomorrow or Thursday at the very earliest. Luckily I learned this by being a part of this group so long. I realized yesterday that I was part of this group when we hit 100 rounds. Now we're past round 200! Wowza. Thank you all for being so amazing and supportive. It's because of you I'm taking this uptick so well and I'm easing back into routine rather being upset with myself and hurting myself by going too hard too fast. Now, for day 2 of yoga (AND MY FITBIT!!! It is scheduled to arrive today and I'm BEYOND excited. My wrist has felt naked these last few days (it died Thursday morning last week) and I dislike having to carry my phone around the house to see the time, set timers, and to track if I've moved enough. Which, by the way, hasn't worked because I don't typically carry my phone with me if I'm coming right back to my desk)
    10/12 - A very slight loss despite some emotional eating.. I ate 2 extra brownies and an extra glass of wine yesterday that I didn't log. Good news: brownies are gone and the only wine left is corked. Grandpa is in ICU and was put on dialysis. He had surgery a few weeks ago which got infected and has had several surgeries since to remove infection. Naturally, his primary surgeon is now out until next week and the other surgeons are going based only on doctor's notes. I'm not sure whether I should drop everything and go up there or wait. I don't have any vacation time left unfortunately so I'd be going unpaid (which I can't really do) or have to figure out how to work full time while visiting.... but it seems bad and I don't want to lose my chance to see him if he passes. My aunt should have arrived sometime last night to my grandma's and she's going to give my parents and I better updates on the situation so we can plan appropriately. Also, if I disappear for a bit, this situation is why. Going to try for a quick 5 minute yoga because it's about all I can fathom doing at the moment and I feel I need to do something since I put on my workout clothes rather than comfy clothes. Also, fitbit arrived yesterday and is all set up. Silent alarm for the win!

    @_JeffreyD_ Check out Senza. It’s free and scans barcodes, allows you to enter recipes (a bit of a learning curve) and the tech people are very prompt with replies to problems. You don’t have to guess where to search for answers. It is geared toward lower carb eating but that could be a good thing. There are recipes and articles on your newsfeed. If you are a carb watcher, you can set for net or total carbs. I’ve been using it for several years now.

    @Machias1949 If you fast before your bloodwork is drawn, over 8 hours can result in a higher number. They always write “fast 8-12 hours” on our scheduling slip. It was higher when I fasted for 12. Mine has been about 209 for years and I won’t take a statin either. I’ve done the fat free, reduced fat routine and have been doing higher fat low carb for over 5 years with the same results. At least my current doctor doesn’t argue when I say “no.”

    @CamandJarvis maybe a FaceTime type chat?? Then you can all see for yourselves.
