    August Loss - ???

    Thoughts: Odd bobble over the weekend. Was down significantly on Saturday and saw a pretty big spike Sunday. Appear to have stabilized this morning. Maybe that was me busting out of Mercury Retrograde. That's as plausible as anything else.

    I feel back on track. I've been enjoying the bounty from the farmer's market, and stayed fairly active over the weekend. My husband is recovering from a long and serious health issue. He's been trying to rebuild list strength and joined me on the trail yesterday evening. He rested on a bench while I walked ahead a bit and returned. Then he rested near the car while I made a short loop in the opposite direction. He ended up with a quarter of a mile unassisted. (That's HUGE!) I squirreled a full mile in. He wants to work up to the full trail. This is perfect! I don't like to do the trail alone and this will get me out there more often.

    8/7/19:
    I have cut my calories per day from probably 2000-2500 (before 6/10/19 I wasn't paying attention at all) to about 1200-1500 per day. I'm having a really hard time fitting exercise into my schedule with 3 kids - 3yrs & 10 month old twins. I'm working really hard on my food intake and getting really discouraged. I'm currently debating about trying IF but I don't want to try taking on too many restrictions at once and getting more discouraged and giving up on everything entirely.

    I love reading everyone's posts.
    @nic0023 Wow, almost 7 pounds in a week! How did you do that?
    @lalabank You are rocking it girl.
    @realgirl177 More than 100 pounds lost and already 5 pounds this month. Congratulations.

    I am not sure, but I think I might have lost a bit of water weight that was hiding weight loss. We'll find out next week! =)

    August Loss - ???

    Thoughts: Lots of weight fluctuation in the last week. Happy that there's no overall gain and the trend weight is dropping. I feel back on track with my goals. Still slacking on strength training, but getting more walks in.

    Walk #2 with husband last night. We're pushing for 3-4 per week as a goal. It's big progress for him, and it's helping me because I'm still horribly chained to desk. I'm a federal employee and we're coming up on end of fiscal year, so there's a big flurry of activity.

    Sister in law is meeting me this evening for another 2 miler - hoping theweather holds out for us.
