Just give me one month - July 2019

SW 154.8
GW 127
MGW 147

July 3- 154.8 (TOM)
July 4- 154.8
July 5- 154.8
July 6- 154.8
July 7- 151.8 (Water weight)
July 8- 150.8
July 9- 150 Ate well and worked out yesterday! I went from 149.4 to 150 on the scale this morning, I kept stepping on again to make sure.... but it stuck to 150, I’ll be excited to get back into 140s! Tomorrow maybe!?
July 10- 150 Going to watch my sodium today and drink a ton of water. I ate out for lunch yesterday and had buffalo cauliflower wings... thought it was a good choice but they were fried and probably full of salt so I think I was fooling myself. Still downward trend so I am happy. 3 lbs more to lose this month, let's go!
July 11- 150. I’m fine with it, I know it’ll drop soon.

I am losing so slowly now that I am almost at my maintenance weight. I am really trying to get below 144 (which is "normal" BMI weight supposedly on the chart at least) this month and will be the top of my maintenance weight. I want to ultimately reach 138 so that I have that room to be able to indulge and not freak out with a fluctuation. I am doing 14 days no alcohol right now to see if it jump starts my loss, but so far it hasn't really changed anything.

SW: 178 lbs
MGW: 143 lbs
UGW: 138 lbs
CW: 145.9

May 30 - 145.9 a new low to end the month!
July 1 - 146.5 was lower yesterday, but I am still happy with this on a Monday. Day 7 no alcohol
July 2 - 145.9 day 8 of no alcohol. 6 more to go to see if I see any changes
July 3 - 145.9 same no change no alcohol day 9 and not seeing much of a difference at this point.
July 4 - 145.9 again! Uuugghh
July 5 - 146.7 up a bit from yesterday. More food than usual. 11 days no alcohol and no major weight changes
July 6 - 146.4 maintenance calories yesterday.Not the best food choices,but not over calories. Sodium was higher than normal though.
July 7 - 148.1 lots of alcohol last night for the fights. Will be gone by tomorrow or the next day hopefully.
July 8 - 148.9 just the rest of Saturday nights gains. All in all an amazing 4 day weekend with family and friends.
July 9 - 147.6 down a bit, hopefully I will be back at my starting weight soon (took me 1 day to gain and 2-3 to lose it)
July 10 - 147.6 was hoping it would be lower but had a drink while making dinner with my hubby. So its deserved
July 11 - 146.3 almost back to where I started the month. Maybe I will finally see a new low tomorrow or Saturday

Day/Weight/Comment

July 1 - 211.2 (+1.2) - I still dunno what's going on. Today I'm restarting and have all my food logged! I am saying NO to the pantry and will not snack after dinner! I'm still thinking I'm holding onto water from being so sore, but I dunno. I was in vacation from work last week, so I wasn't moving much. Today I'm back at work and drinking my usual 96oz of water and eating all my logged food. Hopefully all the moving here will help me drop some of this dang water weight. Here's to July being a better month!

July 2 - 209.6 (-1.6) - Yay! Finally going back down! And I feel like I ate a bunch yesterday, but I was still within my goal. I managed 45 min on the treadmill, hit my daily 10k step goal, and drank 112oz of water, so all in all yesterday was a good day! I decided to stop doing the 30 day challenge for now and just stick to eating right/within my limit and using the treadmill since that seems to be working okay-ish. Today will basically be the same food except dinner of course. But it's all logged!

July 3 - 208.6 (-1.0) - Still going down! I didn't use the treadmill last night because I had a raging headache, but I still stayed within my goal and was happy to see a lower number this morning. Tonight I will use the treadmill though and hopefully will still see another dip in the morning!

July 4 - 206.8 (-1.8) - New low! Yay finally was able to break out of the 207s! I even broke from what I had logged and had pizza for lunch yesterday. I made sure I only ate what first into my goals and made sure I used the treadmill last night too. Today will be interesting too, as were going to MIL house for a bbq and swimming with the kids. I am going to behave myself! And I will use the treadmill tonight too! Have a great day everyone. Keep it up!

July 5 - 207.2 (+0.4) - Was expected. I wasn't very active yesterday, ans I didn't drink enough water, but I ate okay. And I got 30 min in on the treadmill!

July 6 - 208 (+0.8) - We had McDonalds for dinner. It was within my goals, but it still made me go up. No treadmill as we were at a Basketball game that eventually got postponed because we had to deal with and earthquake. I worked today and did real well with my food. Weighed and logged my entire dinner. Will use the treadmill tonight though.

July 7 - 208 (+0.0) - No loss, no gain. Guess ots better than no gain. I'm starting to feel swollen in my legs a feet, so I think my body is starting to get ready for TOM that should be here within the next week. I drank my normal amount of water yesterday and it didn't do much for me. All I can do its wait it out and make good choices.

July 8 - 209.2 (+1.2) - Well, this was slightly surprising. But I've got all my meals prepped for the week for breakfast and lunch, and I'm making sure I get 96oz of water a day. I did another 30min on the treadmill and hit my 10k step goal for the 2nd day in a row! I already can tell I'll be lower I'm the morning vs what I was this morning so that's good. All I can do is take it one day at a time. Gotta get back to 206s and under!

July 8 - 207.4 (-1.8) - Yay, I went back down! Walked for 30 min on the treadmill and stayed within my goal. Hope it keeps going down!

July 9 - 208.0 (+.6) - Well, I had jack in the box for lunch. Stayed in my goal and even walked 35 min on the treadmill. Maybe too much sodium yesterday even though I had my 96oz of water. Tomorrow is another day!

July 10 - 207.6 (-0.4) - Going down again. Did 30 min on the treadmill last night.

July 1-8...Was not tracking

July 9...168.7 lbs I was about 162 at the end of June but strained my back and missed a week + of workouts & stopped tracking. All better and half marathon training starts today. Ready to see the scale start dropping again!

July 10...164.9 lbs (down 3.8) I didn't lose almost 4 lbs overnight, I think yesterday's number was a little bloat from bad eating the day before. Today's number is a more realistic starting point. Let's see where it goes from here! Last night's was my 1st run (I've been running for 10 years) with my new training group for an early October Half Marathon race. I've never trained with a group before but I think it will be really helpful. It was 89 degrees when we started our run and my pace usually slows way down in the heat but I actually ran faster than I have been on my solo hot runs. Still a lot of work to do on my pace to get it where it needs to be, but feeling hopeful! Today I have a body weight workout & a little bit of yoga planned.

July 11...165.4 lbs (up .5) Not over calories yesterday but had a late night slice of pizza, which might be the cause of this little bump up or just normal fluctuations. Yesterday was overall good, had lots of energy, but stayed up too late. My workout yesterday was a body weight workout: 3 sets of 1 min each of Body Squats, Push Ups, Stationary Lunges, Flowing Down Dog, Alternating Front Kick, Static V Sit, & Forearm Plank.

July 1 - 128.4
July 2 - 128.0
July 3 - 127.0
July 4 - 127.0 Out to eat last night, tried to eat conservatively- but hard to track. Guess I am lucky i did not gain.
July 5 - 126.0 Whoo Hoo! Not sure how that happened, though was aware of what I ate, had celery instead of chips, small amounts of dip and only 1 helping.
July 6 - 125.8 Also doing the No late night snacking challenge, I really think that is helping me
July 7 - 126.2
July 8 - 126 .0 After a hectic weekend ready to have some normal.
July 9 - 125.8 Adjusted my Macros Protein and ate probably for first time my appropriate protein level. Ate more calories still loss and felt satiated, but a lot of work and no opportunity to eat excess.
July 10 - 125.4 Eating more protein and more food, feeling less tired and still losing. Eating 1/2 my workout calories back too. Interesting
July 11 -124.8 This upping my protein seems to be working. I need to figure out my calories though, want to have a healthy life change and not a short term fix.
July 12 - 124.6

July 2: 187.4 Setting new records here! Over 33lbs lost now
July 3: 188.6 Ugh! I'm hoping this is just because I weighed in at 7am, instead of the 10am I've been doing the last 5 days..
July 4: 189 Ughh!!! whats going on!
July 5: 190: Sigh.
July 6: 189.9

July 8: 189.8
July 9: 190.2 Knocked myself out of Ketosis Saturday night @ a social event. I was smart and ate before I went, but there was this DIP that was Amazing...and alcohol, of course. Got back on track yesterday and ketones looking good this morning. Today I weighed myself at 7am, yesterday at 1 (after a prolonged fast)...So I'm actually probably down today.
July 10: 189 On the way back down...

July 01- 197.4 Happy Monday
July 02-197.2
July 03-196...I really want to see 180 by the end of July I am exhausted with the 190's feels like I have been here for months. I am declaring by the end of this month I will see 180 something on that scale!!!!
July 04-Did not weigh myself today I was so busy cooking IN lol for family was to hot to cook OUT but we did go swimming in the pool.
July 05-195.6 I am on my way back down yayy!!! doing 1200 calories a day and at my second job I do so much walking I need to get a fitbit to calculate my steps....Enjoy your weekend everyone
July 06---
July 07---
July 08-198 guess I ate and drank a little too much this weekend..it's ok I will be better throughout the week
July 09-197 however, I am feeling terrible today. Yucky summer cold had me up all night and coughing all day. So far I only consumed a little over 300 calories that is no good..
July 10---
July 11---
July 12- 196 I have been sick for the past two days no work and no weighing but today I started to feel a little better I got up and I am back to work and I lost only 1 pound while I was sick. It is certainly taking me a lot longer than expected to get out of the 190's...ugh it can be a little frustrating!!!!

After a few days of pigging out and playing ignorant I ignored the forum for a few more days to bring the weight down a bit... But I'm baaaack!

July 12...164.5 lbs (down .9) Lost the slight gain from yesterday + another .4 lb. I'll take it! My workouts are going well but I need to get my food choices in better shape. But I went to the movies last night and had a small popcorn and still was within my calories so that's a plus. Yesterday I ran a little over 3 miles and did a body weight workout: 3 sets of 1 minute each of Air Jump Rope, Tall Plank, Burpees, Cross Cross Squat, Crescent Kick Right, Crescent Kick Left, Jumping Jacks, & Push Ups. My plan today is to focus more on my nutrition. 4.6 lbs left to lose to reach this month's goal weigh.
