Hi all! Happy Monday!
Had some days where my logging was questionable this week - the loss surprised me. I'm good with it though...
Hope everyone is doing well and killing their goals!

1st day back to my scale. I don't know what my starting point was for the month, I will use the 7th.
October 07 - 156.7 - Hard to believe that I actually lost weight on my vacation to Dallas, what with Texas bbq, Taquieras, Margaritas etc. Mind you, I ice skated almost every day. Very pleased.
October 08 - 160.3 - That gain in one days seems kind of crazy since I had good workouts and was well within my eating levels. Perhaps I had been dehydrated from the flights and am hydrated again.
October 09 - 159.3
October 10 - 159.9
October 11 - 159.6
October 12 - 158.0
October 13 - 158.1 - Thanksgiving dinner tonight, but going to eat very light beforehand to save up calories for stuffing and gravy etc.
October 14 - 159.8 - This could go up a little more still as all of that fabulous food and drink settles in.
October 15 - 159.5 - Half a month yet, Thanksgiving leftovers mostly finished. Time to lose some weight : - )
October 16 - 158.7 - just 2 pounds up from October 7th now.
October 17 - 158.2
October 18 - 159.2
October 19 - 156.9 - 9 days until my 1 year since starting. I was hoping for 40 pounds in a year, but at least I am getting close.
October 20 - 157.5
October 21 - 158.54 -
I had another indulging weekend - just not as many calories as last weekend so staying on track from Friday to Monday isn't bad.
Let's keep it up!

October Loss ~
Thoughts: Back on my game. Scale is bouncing around a bit, expect some of it is fluid gain after big yard work day.
You may have noticed I flipped age from 61 to 62. Yep, it's my birthday 🎂 No big plans. Had to work. Might slip something in later this week, but I don't want to center any celebration on food. Maybe a drive & walk to enjoy fall change of color.
October Game Plan & Goals: (Use stats from Fitbit 7 Day Summary)- Move to 2-week meal plans - Need to start writing them down
- Log meals & exercise daily in MFP
- Focus on daily 500 calorie deficit goal
- No calorie intake after 8pm.
- No calorie intake before 11am, edging towards noon for a 16:8 IF
- Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000 - 3709 ⬆ Fitbit was on charger a full day
- Hit active minutes goal of 20 minutes daily - 23 ⬆
- Hit strength training goal of 3 days on & 1 rest day Back on track 😏
Strength Training:
Squats, lunges, push-ups (elevated), arm circles, side bends, & tricep lifts. Adding planks and transitioning regular push-ups to scapula push-ups.- 10/1-4 - 50, 50, 50, Rest ✔
- 10/5-8 - 50, 50, 50, Rest ✔
- 10/9-12 - 50, 50, 50, Rest ✔
- 10/13-18 - missed
- 10/19 - 2.5 hour cardio day ✔
- 10/20-23 - 50, 50 ✔ Next: 50, Rest
- 10/24-27 - 50, 50, 50, Rest
- 10/28-31 - 50, 50, 50, Rest

I bought a new winter coat online, the price was great but it still makes me nervous to buy size small. It arrived today and when I looked at it all I could think was “that is way too small” but holy crap it fits awesome.
So even when the scale doesn’t seem to be co operating I know I’m succeeding.

Ever see a candid of yourself and think, "I don't look like that!" Yep, that's how I started weight loss the first time - that shock of the discrepancy of how you think you look versus how you actually look. Well, that happened again, only I look much thinner that I think I do. Wow. Funny how I have to strap my pants to my body, but I don't see it in the mirror 😆8 -
