Just give me one month - August 2019

Initial Weight as of May 13, 2019-206
Last recorded weight- 7/24/19 [ b]191[/b]
SW-193.4 lbs
MGW- 188.4 lbs
UG- 145 lbs

1 Aug-- I did not weigh myself today I got back from vacation a few days later than expected, ugh I'm nervous to get on that scale. I will record my starting weight for the month tomorrow.
2 Aug--193.4 Well I guess I didn't do as good as I thought while on vacation. I gained almost 2.5 pounds ...But I'm back now focus, focus, focus I can and will be in the 180's this month!!!!
3 Aug--192.8
4 Aug--192
5 Aug--192 I'm happy with this steady 192 especially because a surprise came early Saturday morning I was not expecting my TOM to arrive about 12 days earlier this month than last But it is life so lets see how I do over the next 6 days with the major BLOAT....
6 Aug--193
7 Aug--193 No stress I know what this is and I'm ok with it just a few more days and I expect to see a drop. I have been eating my 1200 calories per day just a few extra sweets but for the most part I have been really good.
8 Aug--195 I guess that extra few pieces of candy and the late night drink wasn't worth it
9 Aug--194...but now here's the weekend ugh!!! Lord give me strength!!!!
10 Aug--No Weigh in
11 Aug--No Weigh in
12 Aug--191.8 YAY!!!! Come on let me see that 180 something
13 Aug--191.8
14 Aug--191.4
15 Aug--190 OMG I am so close I can just touch it and there are still 16 more days in this month. I might actually be able to get to 188 MGW If I can just get through the weekend which is always a little challenging for me....Positivity only I got this I am such a special breed I achieve every goal I set out...Thank you God
16 Aug--190
17 Aug--189.8
18 Aug--189.8
19 Aug--189.8
20 Aug--189.8 Still holding on to this 189 I'm feeling good today!!!
21 Aug--191
22 Aug--191 I have been so busy this week I already am very busy I work 2 jobs IT from 9 to 5 then from 5:30 to 10pm I clean offices near my home, I have went on more interviews for the night time job because I feel like if I am going to do this then I want the most money I can get so I am exploring options. I still meal prep for the week I find that works best for me, but I have not been drinking as much water and doing some of the things I know I need to do. I still have more days in this month and I'm going to make this a great weekend as it is the last one for this month that counts. Keeping myself busy 6 or 7 days a week is what works for me!!!!

19 Aug - 144.6 lots of water and exercise. Still on TOM. Hopefully more water will drop off soon.

22 Aug - 146.6 had Chinese food last night. Shouldn't eat out to nights in a row.

OK - I am reading another weight loss story "Shift" by Tory Johnson. Reading last night there was one thing that really resonated with me - "this is about me, not my surroundings". I find it so easy to go off my eating plan every time I go to a restaurant, party, vacation. My goal for this weekend is to stay true to myself and my plan not matter where I am or who I am with! Also, journal and count every calorie.

SW: 184.5
GW 100 day: 168
Target Goal: 125 lbs!

July 8: 184.5
July 9: 182.4 / more water today!
July 10: 180.1
July 11: 181.7
July 12: 180.7 / very eager to get back in the 170's! More water for real today.
July 13: 180.7
July 14: 180.8 / Out to dinner last night so not as bad as I thought. Tomorrow is another day!
week 1: -3.7lbs

July 15: 180.1
July 16: 181 / Didn't count yesterday but today doing better
July 17: 182.8
July 18:181.7
July 19: 180.7
July 20:180.1
July 21: 181.3 - Ugh, two days of not journaling and back up!
July 22; 180.1 - maybe out of 180's tomorrow?
July 23: 179.7 - yay, finally - not sure I can stay put though!
July 24: 179.9
July 25: 177.9 - it is so amazing that when you count calories you lose! I guess it makes sense but still!
July 26: 179.9 - had guests for dinners so not a great day!
July 27: 178.8 - leaving for vacation tomorrow and plan on bringing my scale!
July 28: 178.9 - on vacation
July 29: 179.8 -on vacation
July 30: 180.1 - Very discouraged - was away and clearly did not do very well! I am proud that I brought my scale and forced myself to weigh in every day!! First time ever. Back on track today!
July 31 - 179.9

Aug 1:: 180.1
Aug 2:: 181.9
Aug 3: 181.7
Aug 4:: 181.7 - I am very frustrated! We had company all weekend and I didnt journal my calories and here I am back in the 180's! UGH. I think I also need to bring my calorie level to 1000 calories per day instead of 1200 per daY. This week I will be at a class but will journal anyway!
Aug 5 - 9: Weighed in every day - was taking a course all week. Weight fluctuated between 181-182
Aug. 10: 181.2
Aug 11: 180.8 - want to get back out of 180's!

10 Aug-183.8 Purple ketones this morning - but i ate a bunch of parsnip chips tonight
11 Aug-183.4 Weighed myself earlier to prep for back to work schedule.
12 Aug-183.4 Even earlier... so good numbers still.

Day/Weight/Comment

31July - 143.7 ended the month a little high/inflated but we will see what happens tomorrow
1 Aug - 143.7 same still holding on to some extra weight. Hopefully it will drop tomorrow. Damn beers and fast food from Tuesday
2 Aug - 142.2 Almost back to my lowest from last week. I guess I will just keep chugging along
3 Aug - 142.2 probably would have been lower, but I drank to much again last night. I need to get it together already!
4 Aug - 142.2 The hubby and I are going to see Hobbs & Shaw and have lunch.
5 Aug - 144.6 beers at the movies and lunch. Uuugghh, starting today clean start and get lower on the scale
6 Aug - 144.0 down a bit, hopefully I will be back to my 142.xxx tomorrow. Day 2 of getting back on track
7 Aug - 142.1 back down, now to work hard the rest of the week and see a new low in the next couple of days.Stay on track Jenn!
8 Aug - 142.1 out of the last 8 days I have been at 142.xx.My body just loves it here.I'm ready for the next number down already.
9 Aug - 140.8 New low and super happy with this. 1/10 of a pound more and I would have hit a new happy scale milestone
10 Aug - 139.6 I don’t even know what to say. So stoked!
11 Aug - 141.5 got into an argument with my husband last night and comfort ate all day. We never fight so when we do it's not good.
12 Aug - 145.0 We made up but then he took me out for lunch where I had two Bloody Mary's and a cinnamon roll. Sodium and carbs are out of control this weekend. I am back on track today. I blame my husband for this weekend weight gain, lol.
13 Aug - 145.0 I think this is all hormonal. It kind of makes sense why I was so sensitive this weekend,lol.
14 Aug - 142.7 going back down. Almost half way through and doing good so far. Still logging a loss at this point
15 Aug - 142.7 Same which is good. Had lasagna, 1 garlic knot, and 3 beers last night. Luckily I only had 300 calories all day before that.
16 Aug - 142.7 still didn't quite get it together yesterday. Craved carbs all day and ate them. Uugghhhh
17 Aug - 142.1 still just hanging out. Way to much alcohol last night, actually this entire month has been to much
18 Aug - 144.2
19 Aug - 146.7
20 Aug - 148.2 found out father-in-law passed away and has been a rough couple of days. Haven't been logging since Saturday. Will see what I can do the rest of the month.
21 Aug - 145.1 down 3 pounds overnight. Thank you water and clean eating
22 Aug - 144.1 I think I would have been lower, but I made rice and chicken for dinner last night and added soy sauce to mine
23 Aug - 142.1 and we are back here again, this has been my number this month
24 Aug - 142.1 did really well yesterday so wanted to be lower, but I have just played catch up all month long.
