    Climbing at the new venue was quite stressful – the routes are all slightly longer and fewer easy ones for scaredy-cats like me. On the positive side, lots of opportunity to improve my fitness. Would definitely benefit from some technique sessions some time soon.

    I think this is cycle related - which doesn't seem possible, but I'm bloated and feeling yucky and all signs say cycle. I walked 2.5 miles yesterday. This has to even out here somehow. Just super frustrated.

    @RunStart34 I've been on a sleep deficit all week, so that is definitely adding to this. Have an amazing vacation!

    @kellyswimmer 🀣 I can't believe that worked! I will go have a stern talk with my scale too. But glad you saw progress!

    @SofaKween Impressed with your facing your fears and trying new climbing routes! Congrats on the continued progress! ✨

    @tmbg1 Our scale batteries die only when we don't have replacement batteries in the house. It's like it knows. :D

    @Plasicage Watermelon is awesome, because it stays so well in the fridge and lasts a long time. And you can have so much of it. Some are sweeter than others; but it's so good and so filling.

    @HappyDonkey75 So good to see your continued progress! We too have family coming into town this weekend. Trying not to stress on it all. Hang in there.

    Have a great Thursday, everyone!

    @ManifestingToday its no good having a little chat with them you need to be really firm and tell them their batteries are going if they don't behave

    I have not exercised as heavily this week. My sciatica is really flared up but did get a pretty good sleep last night. or atleast I felt like I did. Woke up really groggy and felt like I could have slept another hour!

    I will do a concerted workout tonight.

    Definitely fighting the hungries today. Part of that may be because I had two gin &tonics' last night
    (diet tonic and mostly tonic water, barely any gin, and lots of lime and cucumber)

    June 7 196 ugh. Zero clue there unless it’s from ovulating two days ago. I can tell I’m bloated. I need to push myself to be more active after work. So easy to make supper then sit and relax and not do much else for the day.
    June 10 196. Sucks but I’m ok with it since we did eat out Friday and Saturday (anniversary) and had a couple drinks. Now to push water and workout this week.
    June 14 196 idk even know how I climbed to this number and now it won’t go away. Ugh. Going out of town this weekend so will try and be conscious of my food (and mommy drink) choices.

    * this is surprising. I did have some steak last night and fried potatoes. A bit heavier dinner than I have had lately but felt like I needed it.

    First time I have been below 200 in probably two years or so??? so this was a nice number to see. At the same time, I am a data person and as I look at my weight lost since I started in March and April, its been a slower process than I wanted. I know everyone says slow is sustainable but May was a big month for loss, First part of June I haven't dropped anything really. All I did was just bounce up and down... So while I am glad to see the scale move today, I definitely want to try to figure out how to replicate the progress I made in May. Need a weight loss miracle!!!!

    Honestly , it make me nervous because I know the trick will be to stay below that 200 and not bounce back up.. (or get discouraged when it does given my tendency)

    Family arriving in town today. Dinner out tonight.. Going to stay the course, order a nice salad .

    have a great Friday everyone . Off to do my workout...

    Came to conclusion that I must cut out sweets not just for the weight loss, but because they make me sleepy afterwards! Cut out half sugar last night and felt much less tired, managed to run 10k. This will be hard. I do consume sugar replacements in moderation too.

    This is me too. I can NOT have them. I SHOULD NOT have them. I can NOT seem to have one bite and be done. They are SO addictive. AND everywhere. I should. I just haven't. I need a buddy system or something.....

    Heaviest Weight: 221 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 165


    So here's my experiement. My husband and I had a frozen pizza and berries and yogurt last night for dinner. I also walked very slowly 1.3 miles, just to stretch my leg but still feel like I did something to work out. Two pieces of pizza, that I cut into four to make it look like more, and the berries. When I woke up at 5:30am this morning, I weighed myself and it was 210.4 -- that's a over a pound more than yesterday. I went back to bed, because it's Saturday, and I could. When I awoke later, I weighed myself: 209.6.

    I'm sharing this to emphasize that the number on the scale isn't always an accurate reflection of progress. I get in a funk any time that number is higher on the scale, and it goes up/down for so many reasons, some I can't control. Did I lose weight sleeping? Did I breathe out half a pound? No. It's just my body absorbing some calories because I didn't eat for 12 hours.

    But it really makes me question why we trust the scale number so much, and let it dictate if we're happy, disappointed, or stressed in this journey. It's one indicator, not a full picture, of your health. So try not to get so attached to the number. Are your clothes looser? Is your face thinner? Are your measurements smaller? Has someone asked, "Have you lost weight?"? These indicators are equally valid as the number on a scale for measuring progress.


    I love all of this. YES yes and YESSS!!

    @HappyDonkey75 YES! Happy below 200!
    @Plasicage Happy for you! Glad you're finding out additional ideas that will give you positive results!
    @SherryRueter Welcome, and thank you!
