            11255 steps for today
 Calorie show to be over
 My water coffee balance leaned towards coffe just a wee bit. I'll have to correct that tomorrow. Making a pot of coffee and having a thermos on hand should tilt it enough towards coffee.
 Not much exercise today except for steps at work.
 Tomorrow will be the gym after church.1

 The best I can offer is, keep logging your food carefully, give things a while to work, and then make changes one at a time, so that you can figure out what works for you.
 Thank you.
 I guess my frustration is that I have been trying to work out what works for the last year . I have had thyroid tests. But doc won’t do reverse t3. I exercise and don’t over eat .
 I have tried so many things. And I exercise but not as rigorously as I once did.
 I’m happy for anyone to check out my food diary if I thought it would help .
 I’m not keto but lower cal as I didn’t think keto was helping.
 Nothing showed up any of my blood tests either. Some days I can’t believe this can all be just being over 40 and everything slowing down. But I hear it so much that it must be true. You have done amazingly well this month! Keep doing all that you are doing.,
 Thanks. Yeah I guess that’s it .
 All we can do is our best0

 So I lost that 1lb... again...
 *So, here's the thing. My Fitbit has always told me I burn the candle at both ends and struggle to get all my Zs, but over the past few nights as I've been trying a bit harder to get them, I've been waking up with inexplicable heartburn and sometimes my heart has been racing, like I've just been running for the bus. I normally sleep on my side, so I can help this a bit, but it's clear my lifestyle changes need to be ramped up to have the desired positive health effects, or this might turn into a problem. Hence, I just have to stop drinking, not because I'm addicted, but I can't afford any impediments to my sleep quality and weight loss now.
 Thank you all, Mission Slimpossibles for being there for me. I know that with a bit more focus, I can do this!5

 This has been my lowest week yet. I'm trying to do my own physical therapy on my hips and step a little bit less. This Golden Doodle is still doing a number on me. If it isn't my shoulders, elbows, then its both hips. My new focus is strength training, (somehow I lost muscle at an alarming rate), and second, leash training!!!3

 @Wishusdonna I know everyone is different but for me sleep is a HUGE piece in the weight loss puzzle. I've been wearing my Fitbit 24/7 for 4 yrs now and keeping a food/wellness diary which has helped me spot the trends.
 I weigh myself daily. If I've had a bad sleep (less than 4 hrs combined) my weight is up 2lbs the following morning regardless of how I ate or exercised. Unfortunately it doesn't go back down as quickly as it goes up
 I also noticed a jump in my blood sugar if I don't get enough sleep.
 I have several health issues (leukemia, heart issues, psoriasis, diabetes, obesity) and poor sleep is one of the causes listed for all of them.
 I still have to eat right, count my calories, keep my carbs low and exercise dairy to lose weight but if I do well in all of these areas and don't get enough sleep the scale won't budge

 Good tip, thanks @Jactop !0

            @Wishusdonna -- Good for you, for paying attention now. It's so easy to put things off, and so smart to tackle them!
 @Jactop - I am so impressed at your data collection and analysis.
 Like the two of you, I have found watching the data is key to figuring out what my body needs.4
