January 1st - 181.4
January 2nd -181.1 So glad to have my new digital scale so that I feel rewarded by "good" days. I am also happy with my decision to weigh every day, it makes me mindful every night that I will be weighing in the morning and affects my choices.
January 3rd - 181.9
January 4th - 181.7
January 5th - 178.7
January 6th - 182.5 Crazy how everything fluctuates. I couldn't believe yesterday, so weighed 5 times. Up 3.8 from yesterday, but I have skating on the docket for today. Perhaps I will discover a trend in something that I am doing, eating, or something that I am not eating with how it affects me.
January 7th - 181.7
January 8th - 183.0 - really don't get the gain this time, I was in really good numbers all week.

Thank You! Lol I know everyone says it’s not “real” or it’s just bloat or fluid when you can gain 5lbs over night, which I definitely can in a totally hedonistic fashion. It might come off relatively quick, usually about a week but it’s plenty “real” if I don’t get back to the grind- eat quality food, count those calories and workout hard. Because some how all of that fake weight and water retention had me up to 242 lbs. That number was real, it was a result of my choices.
While I’m on my soapbox can I just say any loss is a reason to celebrate. 1/2 a pound in a week is amazing, .1 is just fine. Staying the same is ok too. Heck we even go up sometimes on this roller coaster. Just keep going, I know slow is frustrating but it works. I’m reading a lot of disappointment in 1lb a week or more loss. But that’s how we get to 5lbs a month and beyond.
This monthly challenge has helped me have realistic goals. Would I like to lose 10bs this month? Sure but I’m just going to aim for five and I’ll keep going if it’s just 2lbs.
Stepping off of soapbox and putting my cheerleading uniform on. I’m so damn proud and inspired by all of us for just being here.
