I'll be keeping the 10:14 intermitent fasting, and I'm going to commit to doing daily yoga. I'll need to find a time during the day or the evening, but it is required. I'll take it one day at a time, tracking everything in the bullet journal.
Ultimate goal: 73 kg
Medium term goal: Stop looking like I'm pregnant
Short term goal: Reach my pre-pregnancy weight 93.0
Initial June 13th weight: 103 kg

I definitely misbehaved this weekend and it shows. But it's Monday again, new beginning, new opportunity to find the best in me. To find discipline and strength.
Hope you all have a great week ahead!1 -

8/9-191.4
8/10- endurance ride
8/11- DNW
8/12-195.1- As I mentioned yesterday, I had a tough physically demanding weekend. I ate a few things like white bread hamburger /hot dog buns that might not have helped but I think /hope the gain is the muscle soreness/water retention. I definitely seem to go up on the scale everytime my muscles get sore. This seems like a big jump though.. Last week's loss was due to no appetite for three days due to the GLP-1 meds so I don't know if I am stalled out or just a mix of issues happening.
I am hoping today I will just do a nice 2 mile walk and drinking alot of water

Weights tonight. Weather has cooled slightly which I’m grateful for. Only hope that the aural migraines that happened Sunday and Monday don't decide to make today a hat-trick. No idea why, haven’t had one for years.
Pleased to hear your dog is improving @kellyswimmer

@SofaKween Fingers crossed you don't have to deal with more migraines. Enjoy the weights tonight.
@dannytrees1 Enjoy the woodsplitting. Snow shoveling is my aerobic activity of choice, but not a lot of that in the summer, LOL.
@kellyswimmer Sending good energy. I hope things with the dog continue to improve. To take some stress off of you, don't consider it a bad month -- just understand this is what it is now. You are still monitoring your progress, you're still checking in here -- right now you are rightfully focused where you need to be, and doing what you can weight-wise.
@HappyDonkey75 I hope things even out and you are starting to feel better. Maybe it was a few things hitting all at once. Hopefully the GLP-1 meds are helping overall though!
@AuroraUwU0 Great attitude to have this week - it is what it is; and moving forward with renewed focus.
I hope everyone else that flies by today is doing well. Have a great Tuesday.3 -
Still minding calories while out of town. Overindulged a bit yesterday evening but I tracked it all. Back home with the scale tomorrow morning so that’ll be interesting.2

**** managed to take a 3.5 mile walk and did a few SIT cycles of a jog to spike my heart rate for 1 minute intervals. It was a a struggle with how sore I was but I thought it might help flush some built up lactic acid out. I did feel less sore afterwards and better today /
8/13-193.5
I sure would like this number to be below 190 right now..
feeling pretty impatient with things today but I am also working off of about 3.5 hours of sleep)
Sleep is another area I am working on sorting out. I function best with about 8-9 hrs of sleep but I mostly only get about 6 hrs. I have had some issues with insomnia that has started since the GLP meds. I wake up like clock work between 2-3 am . I can't always get back to sleep. last night was one of those nights.

Menopause rant:I'm so over Menopause and all the screwed up cycles it delivers. 5 days into a non-cycle cycle. Bloat/cramps/exhaustion goes on for 10 days only to start up 21-22 days later. It's lunacy. .
@HappyDonkey75 I sympathize with the full day ahead on 3+ hrs sleep. Is this a known side effect from the meds?
@canadamarie, @jo_casey42 , @SofaKween, and everyone else swinging through - have a great Wednesday. SofaKween, I'm glad no further migraines. 3 -

I’m skipping this weekend bbq
It’s too far to drive and I want to stick with my plan
My knees are still feeling better
15 pounds gone now
I’m sticking with my goal to hit 190 at the end of August
Happy hump day every one 🌴🛺5 -
@ManifestingToday -I have been reading a bit more and apparently some people do struggle with sleep on the meds. I already struggle with sleep in general so it may be adding to that. I am figuring out ways to manage it with the help of the combination of some natural supplements. Last night was a glorious 9.5 hrs of sleep ! I tend to function best with 8-9 hrs which rarely happens, I usually only get about 6-7 and very little REM sleep. My brain does not like to shut off.
@dannytrees1 - this time of year can be hard with all the social gatherings and food temptations. Good on you to stick with the plan. I also want to be at the similar goal weight as you , i'd like to hit below 190 and stay there . We got this!

***got 9.5 hours of sleep last night and really needed that since the night before I only got 3.5- I have read about the correlation between sleep and weight loss , especially for women in the perimenopause/menopause point in their lives. I am not a good sleeper so trying to work on that bedtime routine to wind down every night.4 -
