    SW RND 268β€”168.8
    8/4 169.0 I honestly don’t understand this uptick. I had a very active day yesterday and ate only 1100 calories of mostly high protein food. Hoping for a swoosh soon, but Dad is back in the hospital and I’m here with him this morning so food and exercise will be atypical today.
    8/5 167.8 I managed the hospital cafeteria well. There were several high protein choices and I was able to stay away from all the sweets which are 80% of their offerings. I’ve never understood why the food choices at hospitals are so unhealthy! I did go home last night and took a pill to help me sleep (not something I do very often), so I’m rested this morning. Fingers crossed for a better day today for Dad.
    8/6 166.6 managed food well again yesterday and got in steps around the hospital but no real exercise. Hope to get Dad back to his Assisted Living today. We did get a diagnosis yesterdayβ€”metastatic cancer. Most likely lymphoma. He doesn’t want to pursue treatment at 93, so….
    8/7 166.2 Hanging in there. Haven’t really eaten much the last couple days so this is probably an artificial drop.
    8/8 165 I am not eating enough. This is not sustainable, but I’ve just not been hungry. What I have eaten though, is high protein and healthy.
    8/9 166.2 Ate a little more yesterday and hit my macros. Got in a walk in the evening for the first time in a bit. Today is our 37th wedding anniversary and I am wearing a little black dress in a much smaller size tonight for a special dinner. :smiley:

    08/04 -189.2- (Trend weight 189.8)

    08/08 -188.8- (Trend weight189.4)

    08/09 -188.6- (Trend weight189.3) Very early weigh-in on a day I typically don’t weigh (Fri). Getting ready to leave for my nuclear stress test on the heart so today will be mainly all travel or sitting. Lunch will be out. I may skip my weight tomorrow, we’ll see. This is the last of the 3 out of 5 days of travel and appointments for this week.

    08/10 -190.2- (Trend weight189.4) Damn it! I knew it would be up today after being at the hospital so long yesterday and the travel there and back and a meal out, but to hit a new decade is deflating. No room for error today even with DD and DGS here!

    RND 266 SW 212.0 EW 208.0
    RND 267 SW 207.4 EW DNW
    RND 268 SW 208.2

    Goals:
    🧠Refocus and daily reminders that the scale is just a tool not a determining factor. πŸ“ŠWeight is just a number to track data
    πŸ₯©Increase my protein intake
    πŸš°πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈMaintain water and exercise

    8/4 208.2 The last week played havoc on my mental health. Between the stress of a sick cat, job woes, and frustration with this journey I found myself in a spiral this weekend. Yesterday I was close to throwing in the towel and giving up. This morning on my walk with the dog I reminded myself this is not something to β€œgive up” because I’m making changes that will last forever. That means a rough week doesn’t negate all of the progress I’ve made over the last 3 months. I need to recognize the struggles and work through them this week. It’s a new month and new round with a new daily mantra reminding myself that the scale does not determine success. I do.

    8/5 205.6 Decided I needed a better measurement than the scale to check my progress. I went to the thrift store and bought jeans in smaller sizes. When I got home I tried them on just to see how they fit, expecting all of them to be too small. To my surprise, one of the pairs actually fit. It was a little tight, but I’d wear them and feel good in them. My DH called the clothes my victory clothes and I’m in agreement with him. It felt like a victory putting on a pair of jeans that was 3 sizes smaller than the shorts I’d had on.

    8/6 205.4 Went through my closet last night and tried on some of the clothes I’ve shoved in the back because I didn’t like how they looked on me (or I didn’t like how I felt wearing them). Added some to the donation pile because I still don’t like them and there’s no need to keep them. Kept a few because I put them on and felt good. I looked good.

    8/7 205.4 I’m good with this considering I ate Cheez Its around 1am. Talk about late night binge.

    8/8 205.2 Another late night binge, but a drop in weight. Either the increase in food is helping me drop weight or it’s going to show up in the next couple of days. Either way, I’m going to count this as a win.

    8/9 205.0

    8/10 205.6 D&D last night, which brings snacking and late nights with not enough water or movement. This bump is expected, but better than I thought it would be. Tried chocolate covered almonds and they were really good. So that’s a win.
