4 Aug - 147.0 went out to eat. There was a driver k or two. Definitely water weight. (Starting insanity again, as burn phase)

6 Aug - 145.8 I will get there...
7 Aug - 144.4 can I keep this a trend? Lol. Let's wait and see.

9 Aug - 143.8 let's keep going!!!
10 Aug - 143.2 today is a rest day. Let's see what tomorrow is.
11 Aug - 144.0 not enough water yesterday. Ton of sore muscles. Back to Insanity again today.
12 Aug - 144.0 lbs need to drink more water today. Just a reminder because I did not drink enough yesterday.
13 Aug - 143.8 still dont feel I'm drinking enough water. Lol. Really need to focus on that.
14 Aug - 145.0 ate junk at work yesterday. Did not drink nearly enough water to handle the heat.
15 Aug 144.8- started TOM last night. Was holding quite a bit of water. Feel better now.
16 Aug - 144.6 still feel like I have some water issues. Did not do insanity because of the heat and TOM.
17 Aug -144.6 ate bad yesterday. Pretty surprised.
18 Aug - 146.0 TOM holding onto water I presume. 🙄🙄
19 Aug - 144.6 lots of water and exercise. Still on TOM. Hopefully more water will drop off soon.
20 Aug -145.2 starting to feel hopeless about actually losing this month, even though I feel I'm putting in more effort .
21 Aug - 146.2 all I can say is taco truck burrito!
22 Aug - 146.6 had Chinese food last night. Shouldn't eat out to nights in a row.
23Aug - 147.2 not sure why I'm holding onto water. I'll just keep moving.

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.
25 Aug - 143.1 it flashed 142.1 and 143.1 multiple times, so I just went with the higher one. We slept in and actually laid in bed and watched a movie before getting up this morning so was a much later weigh in than normal. Still not bad for a Sunday.

31 July - 146.4 lbs
1 Aug - 147.4 - A real rollercoaster ride
2 Aug - 148.2 - here we go again. TOM is lurking about the corner too so scale will dance about. Up 2 lbs in 2 days?
3 Aug - Didn't weigh - feel bloated
4 Aug - Same as yesterday
5 Aug - 148.8 - If I cut back anymore I would be eating under 1000 calories. Scale not budging or going up!
6 Aug - no weigh in TOM
7 Aug - 147.2 - hope I can get to at least 145 this month. Some loss is better than nothing. I notice that clothes are fitting better which is not reflected on the scales.
8 Aug - 147 lbs.
9 Aug - Not weighing today. My nerves can't stand it
10 Aug -147.8 - Very disappointed but keep going.
11 Aug - 146.6 - Cautiously optimistic. Not sure I trust my scale
12 Aug - 148 - after 2 months of low/no carbs I completely lost my mind last night and binged on cookies and mini granola bars. I felt like I would go mad and kill someone if I don't get some sugar. I have to rethink my eating as I don't think this is sustainable for me.
13 Aug - 2nd night of binging last night - no weigh in
14 Aug - 3rd night of binging - ok, this has to stop today. Too afraid to weigh - but will get a hold of myself today
15 Aug - 147. 8 - not to much damage but totally stuck. Let's see what the next 2 weeks bring.

18 Aug -
19 Aug -
20 Aug -
21 Aug -It's no good. I'm struggling to control the nightly binging now that it is started. I don't know how to manage stress without eating! Really feel low. Trying again today.
22 Aug -
23Aug -
24 Aug -
25 Aug - 154 lbs - I am not surprised! From all that binging I've gained back all I lost in July and then some! Hope this shocks me back into track.

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!!!!
23 Aug -- 191.4
24 Aug -- 191.4
25 Aug -- 191.4
26 Aug -- 191.4 Well at least its consistent...I have a few more days and I know I will be back in the 180's I can feel it!!!!
