Round 9: EW: 164.6
12/07/2107 weight: 166
Round 10 GW: 162
12/07/2107: 166. Hm! 1.4 up since yesterday. Didn't pay attention to my liquid intake, so not to bad.
13/07/2107: 168: Cause and effect! Pig out on homemade curry last night (too much sodium again) and a few unscripted treats. I must learn to stick to my pre-logged menu, and weigh portions. I have 8 days to turn this round. Next few days will be flushing meadows. Lol!
14/07/2107: 167.6: Mostly stuck to my pre-log. Changed a few of my snack items, but stayed in deficit. Exercise calories gave a little wiggle room, but I only ate back a small proportion. Some of the burns seem quite high so I am adjusting them down. Drank extra water to flush out sodium. I had a couple of rest days, but restarting my lower body exercises today. I'm looking for a slow, steady loss for the rest of this round.
15/07/2107: 166: Happy with that. Really focusing on hydration, staying under goal, balancing macros/micros, and consistent exercising.
16/07/2107: 166.8 Oops!!! Kind of a lazy day yesterday, and had wine with dinner.
17/07/2107: 166: Yes!!! Back on track yesterday. Balanced macros/micros; hydrated; 11,000+ steps; 20 mins strength training; 20 mins Flex.
18/07/2107: 166: Rather surprised at this as I had a few extra treats last night. Did 12000+ steps, 20 strength, 10 Tai Chi. Family picnic lunch today in the Glens of Antrim. I will pack healthy and walk off any treats indulged in.
19/07/2107: 167.7: Drat!!! Under-hydration, and too many carbs yesterday have left me feeling a tad bloated and sluggish this morning, and scuppered my downward progress. Oh well, back to basics today. Balance macros/micros; 10000+ steps; 20 strength ✅; 20 flex.

Beginning weight: 202 lbs
SW for my R1/your Round 8: 195 lbs
SW for my R2/Your Round 9: 190 lbs
SW for my R3/Your Round 10: 190 lbs (blah)
GW for this round: 189...please let me break the 90's.
Ultimate GW: 125 lbs.
07/12 189.5: -0.5 lbs Its taken me 11 days to get under the 190 mark. I'm glad to finally break through it. I just hope it stays!
07/13 190: +0.5 Ugh. I am really starting to hate this particular number. It's my nemesis. Lol I ate under my calorie intake, and I walked 4.5 miles yesterday also. There's always tomorrow.
07/14 189.25: -0.75 I was trying to read up on plateaus yesterday, so that I could move past mine. I adjusted my diet, and I hope that the weight loss sticks. Lol I went biking last night and only got a 20 minutes, 3.5 mile ride in before I heard a very large whoosh like a tornado. The sky was black a road over from me. I knew it was about to get nasty. I had to call my husband to come and get me. He knows my route, and he was already on his way and just around the corner. By the time I saw him, it was already sprinkling, but by the time we got my bike loaded up in the SUV and our bums in the seats, it was a torrential downpour. My hero...he rescued me. Lol Too bad my biking was cut short though.
07/15 188.75: -0.5 I can't believe my eyes!!!! I'm under 189! I actually was like great...I gained a half pound and stepped off the scale. 190 is creeping up on me. I'm a yo-yo. Then, I was like, wait...was that 188, and I jumped back on! Lol Since my bike ride was rained out the night before, I went an extra 15 minutes today and biked 7 miles. It's always pizza night in my house on Friday, so I bought my husband, our 3 children, and their 3 friends some. Then, I went and bought myself a salad and yogurt. I also drank 60oz of water! I'm so astonished.
07/16: 188.75 -0/+0 I gave my body an active rest day. Although I didn't "exercise," I did a lot of walking due to grocery shopping and school supply shopping. I maintained my weight from the day before. All these new low carb recipes I've been trying out for dinner have been a great help for me. 60 oz of water again for me today too, dropping the carbonated beverages, and reducing my refined sugars has done a world of wonders. Having all of you on here to help keep me accountable has by far been the biggest help. Thank you.
07/17 186.5: -2.25 My day started out really well. I ate a healthy breakfast and went on an 8 mile bike ride. Came home and was very sick. I spent most of my day in the bathroom unfortunately. I couldn't keep anything down, not even water. So, this would explain the rapid weight loss right here. Not how I want to lose it, but I'll take it...until tomorrow.
07/18 187.5: +1.0 I'm okay with this number. I was so shocked at yesterday's number that I was going to take a picture of it to prove that it was real. Lol I couldn't believe what my own eyes were seeing. I knew it was simply because of how sick I had been the day before. I ate under my calorie intake yesterday, but I also didn't drink as much water or exercise. I had underwent Suicide Prevention Training and that took awhile. I also still hadn't bounced completely back from being sick on Sunday either.
07/19 188.25: +0.75 Totally okay with this. I thought I'd bounce back to the weight I was right before I got sick. This is okay. I'm still half a lb under. I've been staying on point with calories and water consumption while getting some steps in.

'm back for another round. It's so nice to come here and share success and frustration. I appreciate all of you and this journey we're on.
Started March 162.2
Finished round 9 on 7/11 at 145
Planning to lose another 2 these next 10 days.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/11 ended round 9 at 145 am up to 146.6 on 7/12. Hope to lose the 1.6 + 2 so I'd like to finish at 143.
7/12 146.6 Big Sigh... Quite a bit of salt on beef yesterday. Then, the power went out so we went to see Spiderman and ate some candy. And Ice cream. Ate an orange=more carbs. No exercise. Back on track today.
7/13 147 Wrong way Corrigan here. 45 min on ellip but son cooked general tso's chick and I had some - but, hery, no rice! To gym today and ellip to burn some of this off. I was 145 for the last three days of round 9. Now to get back and below. To hit my goal for this round of 143 I need to drop 4 in the next 8 days. Some is probably water weight so doable.
7/14 146 gym yesterday ate wisely. drank some lemon water... ellip today.
7/15 145.2 75 min ellip yesterday and reasonable eating. LOL While family chowed down on spaghetti and sauce I had spiralized zucchini and sauce. Yum. Topped of by a 1/2 cup pasta and sauce. Feeling proud of me. Hopefully off to gym today.
7/16 145 Yae, back to where I was a week ago. Hopefully, this time it sticks. No exercise yesterday. Felt so tired, no energy. Took a day of rest. Clothes are fitting so much better. Not sleeping well though. Cutting caffeine to no more than one cup of tea or coffee early in day. I'll see if that helps. Stay strong, everyone.
7/17 145.4 Well, Fart! Did 45 on ellip and ate below on everything. Ate kosher dill spears for a snack and there's the water retention. Now, my sons both got jobs that start today so I'm chief sitter for grandson. Not sure how getting to the gym is going to work. I'll see what I can do at home.
7/18 146.4 This is like a square dance only instead of 'swing your partner' it's 'swinging weight'. Had more than my share of wine last night so that's that. 45 on ellip and will have to go to gym in evening if I am to get there in foreseeable future.
7/19 146 My body just seems to love this set point. It's going to have to move/lose some fat eventually. Went to gym yesterday doing ellip today. Maybe I should check back over food diary to see what I was eating when I was actively losing. Hmmm

Ready for Round 10 (round 3 for me). Thank you for setting this up, Cyranda!
Weight bounces around so I need a way to see the trends on successive 10-day challenges, so am choosing to look at the mid-point between the high and low of the challenge.
Round 8/1: HW 274 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
I sense two major challenges for this 10-day period. One is maintaining discipline over logging and calories. Cheating the diary just prolongs the process! The other is changing my cooking habits so I am making not just lower calorie supper but less of it. I am still cooking as if I am eating for two.
7/12 266.6 -- This is the lowest weight by .2 pounds. Let's see what I can do to have this be the highest for these 10 days!
7/13 267.6 -- Ah, the days I wake up thirsty because I didn't drink as much as I ought are the days the scale gives me a swat upside the head saying, "You thought you'd be down today because you stayed within your calories! Well, I'll show you!"
7/14 267.6 -- I think the scale likes that number. Calories just within limits so downward path will resume.
7/15 268.0 -- A couple of sodium bombs yesterday. Who knew an English muffin had over 500 grams of sodium? And then for supper a yummy stuffed portobello. The stuffing? Feta. No wonder my eyes are puffy. Gotta drink more today -- throw in an extra glass of still water.
7/16 268.4 -- Starting out 471 calories in the red today because I went 471 calories over yesterday -- ON LATE NIGHT SNACKING!! I also staid up late. This is a well-established old habit that needs breaking! It's the first time I've fallen back into it for awhile. STOP mistaking sleepiness for hunger!! Especially tonight because that 471 calories is taken from today's allotment!
7/17 269 -- Still up. I managed to cancel out about 1/2 of the overage calories yesterday and should get the rest of them today. Sodium consumption has been a bit up lately but I really am staying disciplined about keeping my eating in check and recording everything in the diary.
7/18 268.8 -- At least this is ever so slightly in the right direction. The sodium numbers have been up, what with a couple meals of feta, olives, etc. in the last several days. And I've managed to completely wipe out the extra calories of a couple nights ago but it was definitely a struggle not to late-night-snack. "Ready for my WHOOSH, Mr. Demille."
7/19 267.2 -- There we go. A nice, low sodium day yesterday. Let's see if I at least get back down to where I started out this 10-day period. It really does help to have the averages above for the previous weeks to look at and remind myself that the average this time will be lower. Progress is being made even if the daily fluctuations make it hard to see. Onward!

I'm back for another 10 days of checking in and understanding how my food and activity choices affect my fitness progress.
SW in March - 182.4lbs
GW - 150lbs - will reassess when I get there
7/11 - 156.6lbs -coming in from round 9
7/12 - 156.4lbs - hoping to get to 155 by the end of the round
7/13 - 157.0 lbs - I was up early for a client this morning so my "elimination schedule" was off...hopefully I'll see this gone tomorrow morning as yesterday was a great day for eating and activity
7/14 - 156.0lbs - that's better!
7/15 - 156.2lbs - on my mom's scale
7/16 - 157lbs - on my mom's scale - It was my son's 10th birthday yesterday...we went treetop trekking and ziplining, I'm pretty impressed with the fact that I'm actually fit enough to participate and not just watch from the sidelines...it was SO much fun!! Had to have some of the homemade lasagna and birthday cake...so my calories were over. This is why I've been working at getting in shape, so I can enjoy days like this...the fun active part and the food part!!
7/17 158.4lbs - bleh! Finally got a night out with Hubby to celebrate our anniversary from last week. So much good rich food, but I'm paying for it today, belly is not sure what to do with it. Lots of water and eating light today.
7/18 - 159.6lbs - on my mom's scale...hoping this is the issue. I know I over indulged on the weekend a bit but yesterday was a good day and there's no way I ate/drank 3.5 lbs worth of extra calories since my 156 day last week. Sodium, and muscle soreness are holding the water I suspect.
7/19 - 156.6lbs - big drop....partly the scale, partly water woosh. Back to where I was at the end of last round...hopefully the next couple of days will get me below 156 so I show a loss in this one. I really need to get a handle on the weekends, up to the summer I was doing really great at keeping things in check but there have been so many special events I'm losing control. This coming weekend is pretty low key so hoping to stay on target.

7/15
7/16 - 181
7/17 - 182.5, so the ice cream and lasagna clearly was a fail. On the plus side, I walked close to 3 miles this morning!
7/18 - 181 walked another 2 miles this morning and stayed within my calorie goal with exercise. Are you all staying within the calorie goal including any extras you get with exercise or just don't even count the exercise calories? I'm not sure I can do 1200calories only on a workout day!
7/19 - 180.5 going in the right direction, plus walking 5 miles yesterday didn't hurt either. Sore but happy! Btw my scale only goes by .5

R9 SW 197.8
R10 SW 198.9
Round 9 - my round 1 - was just up and down. I'm going to plan for down this round.
7/12 - 197.8. I'd like to see a solid 196 by the end of this round.
7/13 - 196.7 I did not drink as much water as usual yesterday. That may be a factor. However, I have been tracking closely for the last few days and my exercise is consistent. Loving C25K, but I am only in week 2. Lot's of time for that statement to change.
7/14 - 196.7 Same stuff different day
7/15 - 198.0 Stressful day yesterday. We lost water Thursday night and the end result was we had to sink a new pump yesterday. Too much eating of snack type foods. Too much eating in general. I finished C25K Week 2.
7/16 - 198.3 Ate over again. Got my 10K steps in and some extra exercise of challenges. For the week overall (Sun - Sat) I am in the green .
7/17 - 197.5 Alright, alright, alright
7/18 - 197.1 A nice result after a well behaved day. Had a normal yogurt + bran buds breakfast, a salad for lunch with chicken & cheese chunks, and for dinner a butter delight: lemon-butter-garlic chicken with mushrooms sauteed in the same pan, then butter sauteed asparagus. Two mile walk.
7/19 - 197.1 two more days to get to 196

Your Round 10/ My Round 4
Round 7 [R1]: -5.8lbs
Round 8 [R2]: +.6oz
Round 9:N/A No scale
Round 10 GW: As much as possible
7/12 The verdict in is. . .267.4. Basically every effort I put into it has gone to poop. Now that I know where I am starting from, the goal is to get to 261 I was in a state of depression and became lazy as well, no one's fault but mine! I still have two pounds to splurge before I am back in the same spot I started off, so positive thoughts
7/13 266.2 Slowlyyy but surely.
7/14 264.4 Ate under calories with no workout! My favorite food in the world is mozzarella, and I ate a whole ball by myself...lets just say it left as fast as it came! Super excited to be ordering shoes to work out! Whoopeeee! Not afraid of the weekend, I am determined to lose the rest of this water weight and finally begin my life change!
7/15 266.4
7/16 264.4 **Did not see that error, wish it was true! Haha!**
7/17 268.2. . .I can feel myself losing hope. Chinese buffet, pizza slathered in BBQ sauce, no logging or exercise at all. I slipped into a mini depression; this has to be the worst round for me ever. The only thing that is going to stop me from walking outside is rain, and I will be carrying an umbrella so it will have to rain pretty dang hard for me to not go out and walk. Booo, this sucks. Hopefully I will make it to 264 by the end of this round. I know exactly what I am doing wrong, but my body and my mind can't seem to agree on anything these days.
7/18 267.6 I stuffed my face yesterday, and it rained hard. Here is now I am going to tackle this for the remainder of R10... literally take it one meal at a time. When I get my running shoes, hopefully I will be out more again. I miss going outside and walking without my heels feeling like they're gonna shrivel up and die. Even if I maintain 267 for the rest of the round I will be somewhat okay with this. I didn't even want to post anymore this round, but y'all are like family and if anyone sees this and feels like they are alone; you are not. It is okay to completely lose all of your progress as long as you're determined to fix it!
7/19 266.6 Mindset is somewhat better, still draggin' my A along though!

No. Just, no. You that you are brave and wonderful for even trying to control your weight and don't let anybody, especially that voice inside you, tell you otherwise!! We're all in this together. I heard you. Now work on that little negative voice and tell it to go to hell!

@AngelaOStrong there are definitely days I don't feel like posting my weight here either, but the support is great amongst this little group and I need the accountability. Let's finish this round out strong!
@cyranda63 you are so close to onederland!
Everyone is doing so well! Y'all seriously motivate me to work harder.

Day / Weight / Comments
7/12 - 178.7 - Off to a good start, but I can already feel the cravings kicking in and it's 6:30 am.
7/13 - 178.7 - No change, but I stayed within my calorie goal so I am happy with that.
7/14 - 178.6 - Better than nothing. I stayed within my calorie goal again, but I have been lazier than usual the last couple of days. I did some strength training yesterday, but no cardio. It has been crazy humid( yeah, that's my excuse ). I'm going to try to run today.
7/15 - 178.8 - Not really sure how that happened. My apple watch says I walked a total of 16,384 steps yesterday, including a 3-mile run. I stayed in my calorie limit every day this week, eating mostly clean and healthy choices. It is a little discouraging because I'm working so hard not to cheat. 178 is my body's "happy weight" when I eat a kind of healthy, but still drink alcohol and eat some junk. Ok, I'm done whining. I'll keep working, eating within my calories and upping the calorie burn through exercise.
7/16 - 177.4 - Yay! The scale moved! I was expecting a move but not that much! I went to the gym yesterday morning and ate below my calories. Just keep swimming!
7/17 - 178.7 - Big jump back up, but I was expecting it because we celebrated our anniversary yesterday. We ate delicious food and drank wine. Worth it. My goal was to not be above my R10 start weight for today's weigh-in, so I'm happy.
7/18 - 178.0 - Going back in the right direction!
7/19 - 177.4 - I'm feeling like I can break into 176 by Friday. My diet has been on point. I just need that motivation for exercise.

7/14 - 220.5...no dinner last night as we are packing for a move and time got away from us...or water weight..who knows. I'll take it!
7/15 - 219.8
7/16 - 223.7 - yes...I know...lots of shots and snacks last night...I blame only myself.
7/17 - 223.1 - Working off my weekend
7/18 - 221.9 - Feeling like I have stuffed my face today and I still have 750 calories remaining for dinner. Not sure why but I did do something different today by snacking every 2 hours after a super light lunch at 12:30 so maybe that's why. Cherries at 2:00 and hummus and crackers at 3:30. Dinner will be at 7 when my daughter goes down...then more packing. Move is Monday!
7/19 - 219.9...hmm...feel like I've been here before...

Round 9 Last weigh in 7/8 135.2
Goal weight 132
Ultimate goal 130
7/12 - 132.8 I am thrilled! I was very conscious about how much I ate more than what I ate while I was away. Walked a heap checking things out. And worked out 3 out of 4 days I was away. I hope this is going to stick! I was in that direction before I went out to Happy Hour on 7/7 and weighed in on 7/8. Keep on keeping on
7/13 - 132.4 definitely moving in the right direction. Now comes a new challenge. I had a minor procedure today and no exercise for 10-14 days. If I can maintain throughout this challenge, I will be quite happy.
7/14 - 132.4 staying steady. No exercise for awhile. Mindful eating. Eating is 75% of the battle (so the research shows). I will keep logging. Happy Friday everyone.
7/15 - 133 I hate not being able to exercise! Maybe another 8 days. Continue to be mindful about eating
7/16 - 132.4 steady
7/17 - 132.4 This is not easy without exercise. Hopefully, a week from today i can start back!
7/18 - 132 I have not seen that number in many, many years. Amazing!
7/19 - 132.2 I did not even realize I was at my goal yesterday because I am so fixated on not gaining because I can't exercise. So upward and onward to my ultimate goal, which I prob will change in the next round to 129. I know it's only 1 pound, but it gets harder the closer you get. And I have not been in the 120's since I was a much younger woman. We will see if it is attainable.

End of Round 9: 133
Goal for Round 10: 132
Day / Weight / Comments
7/12: 133
Well at least I didn't go up. I had my niece stay over last night and she is used to eating super unhealthy. So yesterday and today has been one of those days where we've been eating healthy for her but unhealthy for us. Just relieved that we have been really active. Because 11 year olds. I love her but I will be glad to not be awakened at 6 on my day off by someone staring at me and asking for food.
7/13: 132.2
I walked over 10,000 steps with my niece yesterday doing various chores and running errands. I guess that plus Aqua Zumba and a short walk with the dog balanced out the slight calorie overage. Let's just keep this off for the next 8 days so I can make my goal!!
7/14: 133
7/15: 133
No kids in the house. Less eating on the go. Less stress. Looking forward to a good workout and a good date night.
7/16: 132.6
Went out last night and watched A Midsummer Night's Dream plus ate super unhealthy. Honestly I'm surprised I lost weight. I think it might just be water because I drank a lot of it yesterday. I also did some HIIT this morning so I feel like I'm getting back on track with exercise now that everything in the house is settling down.
7/17: 134.2
Must be the totally not worth it LNS from last night. Soggy leftover burrito. Blegh.
7/18: 132.2
Yep. It was the burrito. Back down again. So happy, too. 2.2 lbs away from my goal weight! Did Aqua Zumba last night and afterwards I caught my hand in a bag of salt and vinegar chips. After about 5, I looked at the back of the bag, saw the nutrition info, and decided it wasn't worth it. Yay me! Normally I would be like "Oh well. I earned it." Hoping to remember that if you want to see results you can't just gobble them up!
7/19: 132.2
I'm finding that as I near the end, plateaus come more often and it is easier to gain back weight that I've lost. Not saying that two days of the same weight=a plateau. But most days I've been floating at 132-3 for a couple of weeks now. Would like to have another pound lost before vacation so I won't be so stressed about gaining it back. I didn't exercise yesterday. Was driving all day to my dad's house (or back home) from visiting him, but I did eat healthy.

7/12 - 145.4 at 5:00 a.m. I've been retired for two and a half years. I had to buy bigger jeans in order to go to lunch w/friends from work Monday. I cried. I swore when I lost the original 60 pounds that I would never buy bigger pants. Must fix my brain again.

Round 10 (R2 for me)
Original start weight 155
Current weight 138.6
Goal weight for for R10 136.6
Ultimate goal weight 128
7/12 138.8 Boo, even a little gain is annoying. I didn’t get much exercise in yesterday, perhaps that’s the culprit. Under on calories, lots of protein yesterday!
7/13 138.0 Heck yeah!! I was so happy to see that, I was due for a loss.. I’ve had a good week with small gains each day, I knew the loss was coming eventually! Had a good day eating yesterday and got 2 nice walks in. On a side note, I’ve officially been weighing myself daily for a month now and am down 7.8lb! 10lb more to go til my ultimate goal!
7/14 137.4 I feel like it’s too good to be true! Ate decently yesterday (even had a chocolate chip cookie and vodka tonic!) got in a really good walk last night after dinner! Hoping I can keep things under control this weekend.
7/15 136.8 Wow! I can't believe how I'm losing this round, I've gotta keep it up! I had a great week staying under my calories and exercising. Only .2 from my goal for this round!
7/16 no weigh in
7/17 138.0 Ugh. I guess it was too good to be true. Pool party + fair food + TOM + not enough water = a sad Monday morning. I know it’s just water and grossness, so it’ll dissipate this week.
7/18 137.0 That’s what I like to see, a nice drop after a day of lots of water, good eating & walking. I feel good about hitting my goal this 10 days.. I have a good week planned (meal wise) so I should be able to drop a little more!
7/19 136.8 Sooo close to goal! Thought I’d be down a little more today, under calories and good walks in yesterday. Oh well. I have plans for some adult beverages tonight, hopefully I can stay on track and it not affect things too much tomorrow!

R7 SW: 202.2
R8 SW:199.8
R9 SW: 197
CW: 195.2
R10 GW: 193
UGW: 130
7/12: 196.2 kinda knew it would go up a little. I ate late and fell asleep within a half hour of my last bite of food. Not my usual practice and not something I want to make a habit. Still happy to be off the 97 lol
7/13: 197.8 dang it dang it dang it. Had a little bbq last night, but didn't eat only a little lol. Add on the fact that my morning routine was messed up and today wasn't great, but I hit up the vegetables hard today and stayed on goal, so hopefully the scale will show it.
7/14: 197.2 that's better. went for a walk and did some zumba, so today was alright.
7/15: 197.0 woot woot! had some bbq today but I got a good walk in and stayed within my calories.
7/16: 197.8
7/17: 197.4 okay that's a bit better. I'm going to be working more so if I stay consistent with my food (no more Popeye's Chicken), then I think I'll be able to get back on track for this round. Also, side note, not only did my weight go up, but I totally broke out after eating that delicious but super greasy chicken. I'll be staying away from now on.
7/18: 196.2 woot woot! Going back down. Did about 4 miles of walking yesterday, and on pace for that amount today as well. Let's finish out these last few days strong!
7/19: 195.8 alright! Almost back where I started for this week. I doubt I'll be able to make my goal of 193 in the next two days, so I want to make a new goal for myself. I want to maintain my focus over the weekend so that all my hard work doesn't go to waste in the next round.

End of Round 9: 166.0
Goal for Round 10: 164.0
7/12: 165.4 - a nice drop. I just want to stay under 166.
7/13: 164.4 - I've been drinking plenty of water and getting a good night's rest.
7/14: 165.0 - was expecting this uptick. Had a slight cosmetic procedure yesterday so I expect I'm a little swollen and no exercise for me until Monday.
7/15: 163.6 - looks like I dropped some water weight. we'll see if it sticks.
7/16: 164.6 - totally expected. Way too much sodium yesterday and way over my calories. Gotta tighten up these next few days to make up for it.
7/17: 165.6 - way over my calories and sodium again yesterday. Spent the weekend with my SO and I find it hard to stick to my calories around him unless I prepare all our meals (which I didn't). Going to try to get back to 163.6 to end the 10 days at my lowest weight so far.
7/18: 163.8 - 12 glasses of water and I cut back a little yesterday to try to make up for my overage this past weekend.
7/19: 164.0 - normal fluctuation. although I do feel a bit 'heavy' today for lack of better words.
