ME:
30y * 5'9" * Weight goal: 63kg (138,89lbs)
OCTOBER GOALS- Get back below 69kg
- Maintain good eating habits/workout routines even when away from home...
- Continue no (added) sugar for as many days as possible
WEIGHT
1 Oct: 70kg
5 Oct: 71.6kg
8 Oct: 71.6kg // I'm trying but it isn't budging
I'm leaving in 2 days for a long trip (2months or more) and I won't have a scale available to me. So I probably won't be checking in much for a while... Without a scale to guide me, I have a difficult time knowing if I'm improving or not. I'll take my measurements and go from there but that's a lot more longterm; that won't show any +1/-1 kg's.

Sorry for the silence. I have been weighing in but have been so busy I didn’t get round to posting last week and yesterday. So last week I was insanely bloated and weighed in at 175.2lbs. However, since then the number has dropped significantly and yesterday I was back down to 171.2, followed by this morning a pleasant 170.2! I’m keeping my October goal sensible, however, at any number below 170.
Height: 5'10"
HW: 183lbs (Fri 24th March 2017)

Oct goal: Below 170lbs
30th Sep: 175.2lbs (freak of nature)

My goals this month:
1. Stay off the sugar.
2. Current weight: 76.3 - goal weight by the end of the month: 74.0.
3. Get my weekly steps back to at least 70K /week
4. Create an activity plan taking into account all the limitations that I have to work around
01/10: 75.4 - I guess a lot was water weight due to an immense amount of salt and carbs
I went to a new ortho specialist today, and the conclusion is that I have to be patient, take pain meds and start physio as soon as the pain subsides, but it can be another few months before it will get better. Meanwhile: rest! So no extra cals from workouts, I will need to be very careful about my eating.
02/10: 75.1 -still water weight coming off
03/10: 75.2
04/10: 75.5
05/10: 75.9 - I've been consistent with my eating last week, but I had a small pizza yesterday and I believe this is the result of high carb and high salt intake; it will probably be better tomorrow. Last week, I also managed to get to 70K steps- yay me !
06/10: 75.4
07/10: 75.2 - we have ordered healthy prepped food for the next 4 days. It's a new service in our area offered by an Australian lady who was baffled by our lack of healthy food takeaway options. It's a bit more expensive than cooking ourselves, but superfresh and tasty. So here we go, giving this a try.

Feeling good about my progress so far. Salty snacks and coke are my downfall. So limiting myself to one 8 oz coke a day and keeping water flavored with lemons in fridge at all times. Also, got a hot new boyfriend a few months ago so wanting to stay more toned with strength training.

13/10: 74.8 - the takeaway prepped food is a winner, so we decided to order again this week. Friday will be a dinner out (if restaurants will still be allowed to open), as we will be celebrating my birthday.

What an awful time the last week and a half has been. Honestly. Crisis at work (manageable) on top of a bit of a MH crisis (not so easily manageable, especially when it's not something you normally suffer from). On Friday night we ordered a takeaway and cracked open a bottle of red to share. One bottle became two.
Today I took a me day and went to a nice public garden (large), then met up with a friend I haven't seen since Feb. It was lovely! A day for the soul.
