Hmmm ok. Was hoping it would go back down by now. My legs are puffy so that’s an indication I’m still retaining water. Goal for today is as little sodium as possible.
I suppose if I look on this as a scientific experiment to see how my body responds to stimuli, I’ve learned a lot.

July 13th- DNW- this is probably too much to share but it did have an affect on my day -
in a series of weird events, I had to go pick up a horse that I previously sold (to what I thought was a good home) that now is in bad shape . Apparently he got injured and then not cared for or given the right veteranarian care to recover correctly. Heartbreaking day and tough to try to keep my composure with the owner that chose to neglect him . Had to listen to 1000 dumb excuses . Rescue work is tough. I was just grateful I could get him back and now he has a long road to recovery. We have to get xrays and see if his injury is repairable on his leg. He's about 500 lbs underweight . Atleast he is safe but really rough day.
July 14th- 196.9

@HappyDonkey75 I'm just seeing the story about the horse.
I hope he will be ok. Thank you for going to get him and bring him back into a better and loving environment.
@dannytrees1 Agreed - Today I'm staying focused. You are doing great!
@canadamarie Depending where you are, and how hot it is, that too can affect how your body holds onto water, etc. Sometimes this will take a bit to show up on the scale - it really is different for every body. But you've got this!
@SofaKween, I hope the weights session goes well! Enjoyo the BBQ!
@tmbg1 and @aurorabarajas1, Happy Sunday.
I hope I said hi/responded to everyone. I hope you all have a great rest of the weekend.5 -

Phew ok, scales back down. Thanks @ManifestingToday for your encouragement and advice about temperatures. We are indeed having a heat wave.
I did trampoline for two days and drank lots of water. Lowering sodium didn’t go too well, it’s so hard to avoid!

Back to treadmill only, with some light hand weights. I did really good this weekend -- Saturday usually blows the curve, and even though I had some yummy stuff, I still stayed with it. I am happy with progress for the weekend.
@dannytrees1 It can come from high sodium food, a large meal, irregular bathroom stuff, etc. It's temporary, whatever it is. You didn't gain 3.5 lbs - it's some outlier that will right itself. Keep the faith! You're doing all the right things, as evidenced by your progress!
@tmbg1 Yay!!
@canadamarie It's been brutal here too. But I notice, even with air conditioning, I am more bloaty at all times during the summer than in the dead of winter. The body just operates differently. And I hear you on the sodium. It's in so many things.
@SofaKween I'm glad it was a great time!
@jennigerding19 I hope it was a good visit. I'm glad you finally had some time off to relax too!
Happy Monday, everyone!4 -

Trucking along
I am consistently seeing a drop since the first of the month.
In full disclosure I have started a GLP-1 on 7/12. I am only 1 dose in and only for a few days so I don't think the drop is related to the meds just yet.
It was alot of consideration on deciding to start the meds because I had tried one before about a year ago with no luck, but after seeking some guidance from a nutritionist and fitness coach (that is a dear friend) they both felt like given my last three months of being committed and consistent with changing my habits, it would only help. I am still meeting my 1500 kcal and exercising just as hard but now its not so hard to get my body to start dropping. I am cautiously optimistic at this point. Its not forever.
I hope you don't all shun me now!5 -
I'm committed to doing 10:14 intermitent fasting, to track my meals, and eating mindfully.

I wore my black jeans in public yesterday! So I consider that short-term goal as achieved ✨...now I must come up with a new short term challenge.
This morning I fell down the stairs, and hurt my left leg pretty badly. I'm alright, and most importantly my baby is alright. With all that happening, I forgot to weigh myself.

Some mornings I’m really tired of the ups and downs with the scales. But I know this is partly the heat and a difficult day at work yesterday.
Congrats @tmbg1 for breaking past that stubborn 210! And for @HappyDonkey75 you’ve added a new tool to your toolkit. Nothing wrong with that! I’ll be interested to see how it goes, I know it has helped others.

It looks like everyone is going in a positive direction…Great work!
I’m still noticing that my knees are feelings relief , especially on the stairs.
Keep on keeping on!1 -
@SofaKween thank you! The swelling is starting to clear but I'm still taking pain killers.
@HappyDonkey75 I'm just reading about the horse. I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. Keep us posted.
@canadamarie try is not to focus too much on the varying weights, find other ways to measure your progress, such as clothe sizes or progress pictures. You got this!

@canadamarie - thank you , that is what my nutrition coach said, as long as I don't see it as a crutch or assume by just taking the meds , magic will happen. Still need to put in the hard work.. Which I have already committed to doing. I seriously have no choice but to put in the hard work. I find stress really affects my weight .. work stress especially. Drink more water! Really seems to help with so many things for me. if nothing else it gives me a moment to refocus..

Not going to lie: I'm feeling pretty defeated this morning. I've worked 10 hr days the past two days, I've worked out. I'm exhasuted. And seeing the number this morning I actually kicked the scale. I have no idea why it's going up. It could be ham -- we tried a slice with our breakfast the past two mornings to add to our eggs. I guess I can stop and see if it goes down again, but all I do is think about the food I can't have. I'm also exhausted and venting.
@SofaKween I hope you are enjoying the weights! And I hope the weather is good enough for a walk -- it's going to be 100F again here today; not doing anything outside.
@HappyDonkey75 I think it's great - I hope you continue to see a benefit from it!
@aurorabarajas1 Oh no, I hope you are ok after the fall! That's so scary. Please take it easy and rest up if you need to. Congrats on wearing the black jeans!! And you are correct about not focusing on the fluctuating weight. I will keep that in mind too - easier said than done (and I've said it a lot).
@tmbg1 Congrats! You're doing great!
@dannytrees1 I'm so glad you're seeing some positive results with your knees! I hope that continues in more ways going forward.
