Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 – 183.4 – Back where I was on 10/1, but I’m not really surprised as I haven’t been putting in as much effort as I should.
10/21 – 183.0 – Gorgeous day, so I opted for a longer 70 min. walk rather than a household chore before class. Got a bit of grading done and caught up on student email before heading to my daughter’s for a delicious dinner cooked by my grandson. Came in under my calorie allowance even with the pumpkin cake I ate for breakfast!
10/22 – 182.6 – Rainy day, so no walk. Did a few small chores instead, but didn’t get as much done as I’d like. These chilly grey days just seem to sap my motivation. Met my calorie goal though and even got a little grading done. Forecast for tomorrow is better, so I should be able to get out and walk.
10/23 – 182.4 – Long busy day, but I got my walk in and stayed under my calorie limit. Did some laundry and took care of some of my “to do’s” on campus. Too tired to focus on grading but I’ll be up early to get some of it done before class.
10/24 – 182.4 – Up early to finish the grades before the first day of midsemester conferences. I wound up taking a two-hour nap when I got home, but the day was so lovely that I tied on my sneakers and took my pup for a walk in the park. With the sun low in the sky behind me, I mused on my long slender shadow – maybe a hint of a future me? 😉 Met my logging and calorie goals again, but chores will have to wait for tomorrow.
10/25 – 181.6 – Slept in a little this morning and woke up with a headache. I’m guessing it’s the dry air and the dust now that we’ve switched the heating on. Skipped the walk and picked my mom up to do some shopping. Big dinner, dessert, and a really nice Bordeaux wiped out my deficit today, but I logged it all and will try to get back on track tomorrow.
10/26 – 181.6 – Another lovely autumn day! The brush has died back enough that the trails through the woods are reasonably passable again. Walked the reservoir trail with my husband this afternoon, enjoying the quiet and the bright fall colors reflected in the water. Ate just under my calorie limit, but sodium was through the roof. We’ll see what the scale says tomorrow.
10/27 – 181.0 – Slept in, so weighing later may account for the unexpected drop. Rainy day. I’d planned to focus on chores and grading, but wound up inviting my daughter’s family over for dinner and cooking up a Guinness onion soup with Irish cheddar that caught my eye a while back. Took a little tweaking, but it was totally worth the calories. Not much of a deficit today, and no walk to offset the extra calories, so I’d better be extra good tomorrow!
10/28 – 181.6 – Not unexpected, since I pretty much ate at maintenance this weekend. Back under my usual calorie limit today. Got lots of grading and even a few chores done before class, but I didn’t get home in time to walk before dark ☹ One more weigh-in to go!
10/29 – 180.2 – Yay! A nice way to end the round. Late dinner, but under my calorie limit. Rained all day again, so no walk. I wound up taking a much-needed nap instead. So I uess I’m rested and ready for the next round!

10/22-The batteries in the scale are dead. We leave for a 4 day trip, lots of driving. My husband will be in meetings and I have quilting projects to work on, and my walking shoes.
10/26-171-It’s good to be home, I got the batteries in the scale. I’m going on a big walk today and a party tonight.
10/28-174-. Bad food choices.
10/29-171-I told myself that no matter what, I would eat good and I had to eat out twice. And I did! By dinner, my hamburger was wrapped in lettuce, no French fries. I’m off to the gym and then some work. I’m hoping for another good day.😊
10/30-168-This mainly from eating good.

10/20 157.8

10/23 157.2

10/26 158 Enough! Pants don’t fit. Went back to what I did to lose weight in early 2018.
10/27 157.8 pretty easy
10/28 156.8 a little more hungry but good
10/29 157 a lot more hungry but I know it takes 3 days for my body to get used to it
