~10 day avg ~ 177.3. Not where I want to be, but thankfully stayed within this decade of weight. ~ Really struggled with finding the right balance of electrolytes. I'm hoping that increasing potassium was the problem all along and my fluid weight continues to drop.
📌5/13 - 174.8
5/14 - 176.2 - Elimination issues, so I'm going to try this psyllium husk powder that I bought last year. I've always been a little wary of it, but I hope it works.
5/15 - 175.8
5/16 - 177.4 - Psyllium powder worked, but I don't want to rely on it. I don't take laxatives and don't want to begin a habit of using a natural one. More seed porridge this week to help boost fiber.

April loss - 7.7
March total: loss 1.7 lbs - This is all that I lost with a deficit of 18,713 calories
February total calories burned (not the deficit) - 20,350 - loss 1.4 lbs
April 30 - 167.9
May 01 - 165.1 I counted that in the April loss. It made up for February and March
May 02 - 164.3 - Saw this 164 number on April 26, glad to see it again. 5 more pounds to get out of the obese range. Working on it!
I usually keep it simple, calories in, calories out, and deficit. My change had been that I started to have greek yoghurt because with my dental issues it was a nice soft thing to have. I wonder if that has made the difference.
May 03 - 163.2 - I really stayed in bed late today and weighed before drinking water. I guess more time between eating and weighing myself. Planned night out, dinner, drinks, a concert.
May 04 - 165.0 - Pretty much expected, up almost 2 pounds in a day. This is why I rarely go out with friends any more, bad for the waistline. Went out with skinny friends last night argh, they don't have to be careful at all. I will get it back down, but it could take awhile. Oh well, I had a very good time.

Not going to sweat this at all. I had to remind myself that this is what happened last month, and I pulled it out in the end. I have lost 17 inches so far, most of which fell off while the scale wasn’t moving. After clothes shopping yesterday, I cannot wait for the end of the month when I measure again! All of my NSV tell me I keep losing inches. I’ve also really stepped up my fitness from completing my goals at 100%, to 200% daily. Some of this could be water retention while my muscles heal.
Have a great week everyone! 🙌🏼

30 lbs GONE! 🥳
This week I learned the importance of recovery. Mine was forced due to a tendon strain across the inner right ankle, but is getting better each day. This allowed my sore muscles to give way and so did the scale! I was shocked! I felt so discouraged last Monday sitting in the chiro getting X-rays, ultrasound, and cold therapy - I thought, this is it, this is where I fail. But then I remembered who is in control here! I can’t burn the same amount of calories I could last week, but I can lift and it feels great!!
Keep going no matter what! Have a great week!! 👊🏼
20th- 155.8
Whatever. 🤷♀️
Went to a concert last week and ate burgers twice that night and had concert sized canned beers. Worth it.
Niece’s graduation was Thursday and everything was closed by the time we got out. Ended up at Taco Bell (first time in 6 months at least). Not worth it.
I’m still hurting a lot from my posterior tibial injury. I’m told at minimum, it will be 6-8 weeks before I’m not in (almost) constant pain. Possibly 6-8 months until fully healed. I didn’t meet a single exercise goal last week. I do have PT twice a week, which is all I was medically cleared to do. He did say I can start light weights and I felt up to it last night so I did it. Felt great and no pain through my shin or foot. I can only reach around a 200 calorie burn though.
Oh and TOM got me about an hour ago, so... like I said - whatever. 🤷♀️

Today's Thoughts: I'm doing ok. 2.9 down for the month and the weekly loss rate continues to improve. My 7 day summaries on FitBit are shifting back up. I'm struggling with the exercise - I'm not feeling well with the allergies. There's some crazy stuff going on at work and I'm entirely spent when I log out. I'm making a real effort to get up once an hour and walk or march in place. That's really helping with the tension beast. It's hump day. I can make it.
May Game Plan:- Continue weekly meal planning
- Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500
- No calorie intake after 8pm
- Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 Seven day average: 3239
- Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 Seven day average: 27
- Increase strength building exercise from 6 days to 7 Seven day average: 3
