Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 129

Round 129 starts off with a day of restaurant dining for early Anniversary (10/15). Something not faced in prior rounds. Should be fine as I am continuing with pre-track planning the best I can. Goal for this round is to try and finish under 145.0 which translates to -1.0. 59th Birthday is coming early next round and I am pushing to be under 145.0 for that occasion. Success this round will make that likely.

Round 129 – starting weight 145.8
10/14 – 145.2 Well yesterday, I survived well enough dining out (2 days early) for 37th anniversary. Pre-planned what I was going to order and tracked it ahead as well. Did not even look at the menu. Crossed my “base” goal calories, but did not exceed base + exercise. Ironic that my weight finally moved after several days of seesaw despite eating under target and exercising.
10/15 – 145.2 Happy with the number. I’m ok with no change. (Happy 37th anniversary today to me and Hubby. Already celebrated on the 13th as Hubby has to fly/escort his mother back to Florida today)
10/16 – 145.4 always a little back and forth! :P
10/17 – 146.2 Was making Halloween goodie bags and then had a sugar melt down. A totally untracked quantity. Over and done with. Move on.
10/18 – 146.0 repairing the damage
10/19 – 145.4 Almost back to 145.2. Still trying for under 145 for the 23rd.
10/20 – 145.2 I am just being teased this round. I need to not get bothered by the short term numbers and stay focused on long term goal of better weight and health.
10/21 – 144.2 WOW! What a pleasant surprise. These are the reasons why one needs to stay focused even when it feels like nothing is happening. I’ve stayed under my calories, exercised and not eaten back their calories, every day since Oct 1 (due to another challenge). We’ll see if it holds. Trying to be under 145 on 10/23, but more importantly 10/26, my 59th birthday.
10/22 – 144.6 Makes more sense. Still bodes well for tomorrow and the possibility of remaining under 145

10/14 140.8 Unfortunately this 3lb drop in one day is from inflammation issues in my digestive track the past 2 days. I'm on broth, water, tea until it feels better. Today the pain is less so I can finally walk upright.
10/15 140.8 Hoping for a good day so I can reintroduce some veggies tomorrow. Have a good day everyone!
10/16 140.4 Added plain buttered spaghetti and sprite yesterday. My energy is up. Trying some Greek yogurt today and a walk to get some sunshine.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 - 142 - This was a nice surprise this morning. We'll see if it sticks for tomorrow.
10/15 - 142.5 - This is fine.
10/16 - 142 - Nice to see a little drop for the weekend.
10/17 - 143 - We spent a beautiful autumn evening around a bonfire eating pizza and chicken from a favorite local restaurant. We also enjoyed hot cider spiked with whiskey.
10/18 - 143.5 - This was not unexpected and I'm just planning to eat at weight loss calories this week to compensate for the weekend.
10/19 - 143.5 - I'm happy I didn't bump up again.
10/20 - 142.5
10/21 - 143
10/22 - 142.5 - Just a little hint I picked up from another website a few weeks ago...If you buy bagged or boxed salads to eat through the week like me, you may notice the lettuce starts to get wilty within a couple days. Put a paper towel in the bag or box when you open it and change it out daily. I could not believe the difference it made in the texture and taste of the salad.

10/22 - 152.6 - Holding on to some bloat. Dinner was a very heavy recipe but oh so delicious. Managed to get my minimum water goal in yesterday, finally. Aim to get there again today, if not more. Fasting only lasted about 14hrs so going to try again today for 16. This week has been crazy with food - especially since it seems people have been going out of their way to make me food in the mornings. Hoping to make it 16hrs today and tomorrow (at the minimum) so my body realizes its okay before the weekend. I hate having to think about food on weekends, I'd rather focus on something else! Plus, even doing 16+hrs for a few days rids of the bloat and heavy feeling which I'm so eager to happen right now. Haven't been able to get in walks lately and not likely to again today depending on when BF gets up and wants to head over to work on his VWBug. Fam is in Houston so we can work on it while monitoring our work without interrupting theirs (: it'll give me more movement than sitting at home, at least.
10/23
Previous Day's Comments10/14 - Normal fluctuation? Not sure. Food was way off yesterday. I was super hungry so I finished my fast at about 16hrs. But dinner I couldn't tell if hungry so I had a bit to eat but then felt really full about an hour later. Still learning my body's language, so not too worried. I knew it wouldn't happen immediately and I need to be patient and forgiving with myself. I will say, not tracking and being more mindful about food in general has been super freeing. The fairly consistent weigh ins have been an added bonus. Normally I'm constantly stressed about food, monitoring everything that goes in my body, and letting food control me. Now I let my body control it all and tell me what it needs and when. I've managed one challenge, my birthday, with fasting. Great results! Without it, I'd likely still be battling the weight gain. Next up starts Friday with camping. I won't have cell or internet service so I can't really track or post. As it is my birthday gift, I'm not a part of the planning of food and such, just which trails I'd like to hike and where I'd like to see within the park. Will be interesting to see how fasting and my body will play a part in all of this. Definitely will be a learning experience (:
10/15 - Shocking since I only fasted 15.75hr yesterday - my body wanted food and nothing was stopping those hunger signals! Also, a heavy dinner consisting of homemade spaghetti, garlic toast, and a caesar salad. Finished off the bottle of wine with FamWife we opened for dinner yesterday (1 glass each both nights). Today fasted 16.5hrs and broke it with Taco Bell. Its our guilty pleasure and its 30 minutes away so not common for us -- only when we go into that town for a specific reason. Today was going to the range. I could practice with my new(ish) 9mm and the boys could zero their rifles with the new scopes in preparation for deer season. Consolidated all the camping stuff we have on hand and packed that. Just need to pack Fam's stuff (including tent, air mattress for back of truck, and their sleeping bags), go shopping for the rest (mostly food), and pack that stuff up. I'm so READY! Hoping for 12hr fasts while out there. Body isn't quite fully fat adapted to be able to hike and such while fasting, no need to push it and cause harm. Here's where patience comes in -- hopefully I can stay content with the slow changes. The test will be whether my belt stays in the smaller notch after this weekend (once it dropped, it stayed down so far). I feel so much better without the constant bloat - hoping I won't undo all that. I'll see y'all Monday!! Have a wonderful weekend, all
10/16 - Taco Bell and Frito Pie for lunch and dinner didn't destroy me! I love this! And I was really low on my water intake, too. I'm surprised that alone didn't bump me up. I was hoping to sleep up until my alarm before showering but I was too excited. Good news - it left me time to weigh and post before BF even gets up! FamWife has to work half day, so FamHubs, BF, and I are going shopping for the rest of the foodstuffs we don't have once he's up and moving. She'll then have about 3 hours on the road to work before signal loss, which should be about her half day mark. Should get us there in time to see the little art town/old army base, take the (slightly, 10 mins or so) longer, more scenic route to our campsite, and set up before dark (we have to be there by 8 but aiming for sooner so we have daylight to get camp set up). I'm so reaaaady! See y'all Monday (:

10/19 - Well that was a crazy fun weekend. My legs are a bit sore (I'm not sure how I'm not hurting more) and I'm real tired even after a good night's sleep last night, but it was worth it. Only downfall is I'm so incredibly dehydrated. My lips are cracked and bleeding, which takes forever to heal on me. Definitely pushing water. We ran out of water at the campsite unexpectedly and everything was closed by that time. Ended up getting some for the drive home but it was so hard to drink anything fast, especially since pitstops to pee weren't common. Back to fasting today - not sure how long, I'll listen to body since the whole dehydration thing probably put more stress than I'd like on it. Maybe go for a walk later, not sure yet. Aiming for an easy day but know I need to keep moving or legs will get locked up and sore, eek.
10/20 - Still working on rehydration. Yesterday was busy busy busy. The coffee shop opened Saturday while we were gone so we went to work there yesterday and I HAD to try her latte and banana nut muffins (my fave), breaking my fast super early (13hrs I think?) Today, if we go there again, I'm just getting an Americano and no muffin so I can continue fasting. Late night last night so 16hrs ends at what is normally my 18hr mark - 1:30pm - hoping to make it that long today. Did a short jog/walk to the gas station yesterday but got me enough movement the bit of soreness I have is already fading, yay! Super duper tired today so not sure about activity - maybe if I wake up more and get a little energy. My fault for staying up so late watching football. Worth it!
10/21 - I had such a feast yesterday at dinner.... it was delicious but definitely stress induced. My work computer ended up crashing several months ago - took it in, they thought they solved the problem but gave me a loaner JUST in case. Not fixed, working from loaner. Well, yesterday I'm working on a report, get up for a small break to grab a snack and walk around the house only to come back to my computer crashed and overheating so bad I can't even touch it for longer than a few seconds. Now I have 2 broken work computers and work to do.... bit stressful. Does give me opportunity today to run errands and go vote early (yay avoiding lines and crowds! Fam have all gone to vote and said takes 10 minutes, in and out). Today is also the day my godson (2yrs old) starts his 3 days of appointments to be put on the transplant list for a new liver (due to PFIC) and the start of a potentially long anticipation period waiting for that call. Stressing won't help anything, but its so hard not to just a little bit. May I request prayers/positivity into the universe for my little man and all the family? Y'all are the best

10/14 178.8 T.O.M started today and the chocolate cravings came back full force lol Must. Resist. Temptation...
10/15 178.8 Normally the 2nd day of TOM there is a drop but I'll take staying the same over an increase.
10/16 178.8 I ate like crap yesterday. Went 300 over my calorie goal. Oops. Back on track today.
10/17 178.4 A little loss. I'll take it!
10/18 178.2 Getting closer to my round goal. I got told yesterday that I shouldn't lose any more weight. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing because I still have quite a long way to go. It was from a coworker that always seems to have a comment about everyone's weight. Annoying for sure, but for them to tell me that I'm looking great and should stop now, was kinda weird.
10/19 178.0 Well I made it to my round goal! Slow but sure. After I had my last baby in 2013 I was at 250lbs. I got down to 178 before giving up. I am excited to see that number and PASS it this time! Happy Monday!
10/20 177.2 I passed it Now to keep motivation and keep going! I ended up getting a 2nd job for Christmas money. My sleep schedule will be all over the place pretty soon. 3 nights and 2 day shifts a week. Life will be crazy until 2021... not like it hasn't been already. I'm hoping working more will help my progress.
10/21 177.4 I'm holding onto some sodium I think. My hands and feet are swollen. Hope you all have a great Wednesday!
10/22 176.0 I like seeing that drop this morning and I like that the swelling went away also.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
Round 129
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
10/14: 211.0 / no comment other than it is good to be back posting every day. I lost my MFP logging streak somewhere on that fishing lake.
10/15: 209.6 / still feel “full.” (corrected)
10/16: 209.6 / TGIF. It has been a challenging week. DW wants to order out for supper tonight. Worn out from watching DGS all week.
10/17: 210.2
10/18: 211.2
10/19: 211
10/20: 210.6 / No, I have not forgotten about you all. If I had this would be a bigger number.
10/21: 210.6 / I am a stress eater. Yesterday…full of stress. I am not looking for sympathy, I just want to say it out loud and face the facts. Stress happens, to all of us. I want to be more mindful of the way I react to stress.

I will be out of town for the next three mornings. so no weigh-in for me. You will be in my thoughts and prayers though. Also, picture a mini version of yourselves sitting on my shoulder whispering (or shouting) about what I am shoving into the cake hole. Have a good weekend everyone.11

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 163.2 lbs under 1100 calories, lots of yard clean up, over 18,000 steps. Our temperatures are forcasted to continually drop from 30's down to 20's for highs in the next week. Time to winterize everything. But my back did not agree with putting all the outside furniture away and now I walk as slow as a turtle. Ugh! Getting old is not for the faint of heart.
10/15 161.4 lbs struggled with snacking and minimal exercise due to back issue. Very surprised at the loss but I did manage to keep calories under 1200 but a bunch of it was candy. I like to believe that candy sugar burns off right away unlike other foods. HaHa.
10/16 163.4 lbs Ummm.... took some neighbor friends to town for our weekly grocery shopping and we got together after and had a bit of wine which sticks to me like glue. Plus I am having family for the weekend and of course I will make to many snacks but hoping I do better sending them with them.
10/17 164.4 lbs
10/18 165.0 lbs
10/19 165.4 lbs
10/20 162 lbs
10/21 163.6 lbs not sure why the gain under 1100 calories.
10/22 161.4 lbs I hope I can hold until tomorrow.9 -
ROUND 129
I’m a 5’ 8”, 45 yo Mom of 2 young ones. The lockdown had me squeaking toward 200, so I knew I had to start taking better care of myself!

Round 129 SW: 176.1 (on 10/13/20)
10/14 - 175.3 - I was up last round, so I still have a ways to go for an overall loss, but this is in the right direction.
10/15 - 175.8 - I can feel my fingers plumped up again, so I know I have a little water retention.
10/16 - 175.9 - I can still today feel my fingers all bloated, so for some reason I am really holding onto this water.
10/17 - 175.1 - Whoosh! I finally lost that water weight! And I’m back to the starting weight of last round, so I feel better.
10/18 - 176.9 - UGH
10/19 - 175.1 - I am getting dizzy on this roller coaster
10/20 - 175.8 - It was my husband’s birthday yesterday, so there was cake and his favorite dinner. Luckily, there are no more “food events” until Thanksgiving!
10/21 - 174.7 - Okay, I'm finally heading back in the right direction!
10/22 - 174.4 - New Low!! The good habits are setting in again

😡 I think this bump is water and delayed response from two days of Greek food.
10/15 - 182.4 - 1286
A little better. I drank lots of water yesterday to flush all that salt. It’s chilly and rainy this morning, and we’re supposed to have a hard freeze tonight, so when the rain stops I need to do a few outdoor garden things. One will be to collect a bouquet before the flowers freeze! 💐 Have a lovely day, all.

I need to get some high-protein breakfast foods that don’t require much morning prep time lined up. I love Bilinski turkey sausages, love eggs done almost any way. Sometimes I make my own version of egg McMuffin, but healthier. I used to make overnight muesli with egg whites and kefir — maybe I’ll make some of those. Left to my own devices, I’d eat a substantial breakfast, big late lunch, and skip dinner, which we do sometimes. Anyway, what do you eat for breakfast? I’m looking for ideas.
10/17 - 183 - 1463
That makes no sense, although my rings are tight so maybe water. Whatever. Happy Saturday, my friends!
10/18 - 182.4 - 1401
Yesterday was a good day! Writing, knitting, reading, painting kitchen-laundry room door (pretty green), goofing off. Perfect. I have an entertainment center I’m making into a pantry (not enough storage in the kitchen), so today’s the day we start on that. I’m excited to get that project done. Have a great Sunday, all!

Cold rain all day yesterday, so no walk, but I plan to get out today. I don’t know why I had ice cream last night. Broke my 1400s steak. Sigh. I’ll do better today.
10/21 - 182.6 - 1274
Better. Hoping to finish the round no higher than last round in spite of my bumps up this round. I can do it!
10/22 - 182.8 - 1566
Shoot. Oh, well. I have lots to do today — painting some interior doors, working on my armoire —-> pantry makeover, Re-organizing closet, other nesting stuff. No time to snack! 🤓

@UTMom81 I saw a video of someone using a hand held gadget that cut zucchini into lasagna noodles. I use a recipe that is low carb and it was a huge hit at a potluck with several asking for the recipe. “Just like the real thing” Lasagna.7

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 187.2 I feel like I have been getting a little lax with my calorie allowances. I need to find some mojo and stick to my goal for several days in order to get the results that I want. On the plus side I am still (slightly) below my trend line. Est. Cals yesterday: 1827 due to wine and chocolate, when I started back counting calories I was leaving an allowance for these treats so I didn't go over, gotta get back there mentally.
10/15 187.6
10/16 187.2
10/17 187.8 Just hanging out here.. really surprised it's not worse considering it's TOM and I've been eating a lot more treats/calories. Hopefully the hormones will settle and I can resume a more stable path.. Trend is flatlining but I'll drink a lot of water today and preplan my food.
10/18 189.4 estimated cals 1486 I am guessing this bump is due to eating sushi for lunch.. rice and salt. Hard to get the calories right too.
10/19 188.8 estimated cals 1434 ready for the scale to behave itself now..
10/20 187.8 estimated cals yesterday 1534. My foot is finally feeling better so I'm going out for a little run/walk this morning.
10/21 187.2 looks like I have been maintaining this round. I am hoping for a little drop before it's all said and done. Estimated cals yesterday 1612.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
Rnd 129 SW 115.5
10/14 116.5 Expected, 1/2 Greek salad with gyro meat yesterday AF
10/15 117.0 In-N-Out burger for supper last night and I ate most of the bun for the first time in over 3 years. Virtual quilt guild meeting tonight. Getting together with friends for that. AF
10/16 119.0. No TMI x 3 days! ‘Nuff said except considering dynamite! Although I ate that bun the other evening, that isn’t responsible for all of this recent gain. I ate a LOT of veggies yesterday which were about 28g of my 33g of carbs. I’m so bloated that my shorts were uncomfortable last night. Still under my goal weight and back on the rails after this odd week. It’s all good!
10/17 117.0 Some TMI success. I was so stressed yesterday all day because DH left his phone in a neighbors garage Thursday night when he was fixing her sprinkler system. He was so obsessed about getting it back but she was not home or answering her cell phone. By about 7 PM I called her again and she finally answered. She located the phone and he went and picked it up. It was not a good day for me I did not go to the gym, I don’t even remember what I ate but fortunately logged as I slogged my way through the day. He needs a man purse but refuses! Clearly I am frustrated!
10/18 118.0 Scale gave me an ERR first so may need a new battery but it’s all good. Social visit with neighbors last night. AF
10/19 116.5 AF Planning to fast tomorrow if DH’s lunch plans work out. So much easier if I don’t have to make him dinner! 🥴🤪🤞
10/20 116.5 Gym yesterday and did my PT stretches for the first time and in weeks.
10/21 115.0 35 hours into my fast. Coffee, tea, water, and 14 oz of chicken broth yesterday. Feeling good. Gym today.
10/22 116.5 Stopped my fast after 42.5 hours. I think lack of sleep had something to do with feeling horrid all day yesterday. It was smoky again and I had a headache. It’s gone this morning.5 -

10/14- 167.5 Not a good way to start out for sure.
10/15- 167.8 I am retaining a lot of water. This should go down in a few days, I hope.
10/16- 167.1 Going down! Its not right that I can gain 2lbs in one day but take days to loose it.
10/17- 166.8 Still going in the right direction
10/18- 166.8 Did not go up so that's a small win.
10/19- 166.2 I wont make my goal this time around. New goal, get back to this rounds starting weight.
10/20- 165.1 Ok, just need to stay the path.
10/21- 165.5 Busy day today, going to try not to snack.
10/22- 165.5 Cooked all day yesterday and managed to not eat all day.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/13 …..208.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/14 …..209.2 ….. After travel weight so I’ll take it. Good luck everyone this round. Welcome to all the newbies, we are thrilled that you have joined us!
10/15 …..208.4 ….. I shed that travel weight quickly with some pretty good choices at home yesterday. Today is a WONDERFUL day for me. I have been going through some very tough things here at home and work and today a wee piece of it is getting resolved. I will explain when I have time. It has been time crunching and gut wrenching at times which has been holding me back from my usual fitness and diet routines. 2 more parts to go and I hope to be all in again by the first of the year. In the meantime, it’s wonderful to see the progression in all parts of my life including these little losses on the scale. Thanks for your support everyone! I’m finding my way back slowly but surely!
10/16 …..208.2 ….. I was hoping for a bigger drop but I guess I should not get greedy. I am happy, overall, at the downward trend when I know I am not in a place to give 100% just yet. However, the dust will settle eventually! Yay on the continual improvement!
10/17 …..207.6 ….. This is great news for me! I have been lowering my portion sizes and choosing my snacks carefully. I am still not getting in enough movement, not logging consistently and not counting calories and carbs to the exact numbers. However, I am making the small changes here and there that is helping to make a difference. Life is still upside down for me, but I am tweaking what I can and staying committed in my mind and soul. That is the best I can hope for or do right now. The little changes make a difference, friends!
10/18 …..208.2 ….. I’m not sure exactly what happened. Small portions and pretty good choices. Probably the garlic bread. I noticed on my spoiler that I have lost (and made goal of ANY LOSS) the last 3 rounds. Striving to keep up the momentum.
10/19 …..207.4 ….. Wow! The ups & downs of a weight loss journey! I really watched my portions yesterday and had no bedtime snacks when watching late-night TV because I took my son out to a newly renovated restaurant in our town that now serves Pizza including Deep Dish Square Pizza. In this little town, that is a BIG DEAL. It was delicious even though it is not normally in my menu planning. My son and I ate JUST UNTIL we began to feel full and took the rest home for dinner later. Portion Control especially with “wrong foods” is ESSENTIAL. No snacks-payment for the Pizza. It greatly helped the scale this morning. I am so happy that it did not completely blow my progress. Social things will always occur…..I’ve just got to keep making those adjustments. Have a great week everyone!
10/20 …..207.0 ….. So….. last night, after having had a low calorie/carb dinner, I started munching small amounts of multiple things. Grazing really. I was convinced I was hungry. I am proud that I stopped myself, paid attention and realized that I was not full, but not hungry either. It was more in my head. Also cravings perhaps? I realized I didn’t really NEED more food. So I stopped. I’m not going to say it was easy to overrule my brain, but I stopped. I am so glad I was able to do that last night. What a NSV that was! The scale rewarded me this morning too!
10/21 …..206.2….. Come on 205!!!! I am sure these losses will level off at some point, but I am enjoying the fruits of my labor for as long as I can. I danced to one 4 minute song last night and I did one Fitness Marshall video workout (under 3 minutes) also. Hey, it is a start!
10/22 …..207.6….. Wow! A giant leap on the scale. I actually had a pretty good day except for the grilled cheese, tomato soup and 4 Ritz crackers. Very low cal breakfast and no lunch. A pound and a half???? Okay, I’ll make note of that and move on. I am also not drinking my water . Just so busy but I must make it a priority. Still making goal so far so I will take that as inspiration.
10/23 …..xxxxx …..

10/22 218.6. FBG 105. I've been fluctuating around this weight the past couple days. While I haven't been eating poorly per say, I've had too much salt and too little water, and the scale is definitely reflecting it. A friend has come to quarantine with me in New Orleans, and having another person around has thrown my whole rhythm off. I'm very glad she's here, but I must make adjustments.

Round 129
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 148
GW: 140
UGW: 125
GW for this round: 146
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 128 (3): 150.4 to 148.0 (-2.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Lose 2 lbs
- Get out for a morning run twice and do Ring Fit the other days
- Do core strengthening exercises 5x (every other day)
10/14 - 148.0 - Starting off on a nice round number. Got new running shoes yesterday, and they feel great! I’d forgotten how big a difference good shoes can make for my knees and feet. Did the new core exercises this morning; here’s to a great round for everyone!
10/15 - 147.2 - Ugh, yesterday was HARD. I don’t know what the trigger was (lack of sleep? hormones? too much calorie restriction?) but I was SO HUNGRY all day. I wanted to eat everything in sight. I managed to mostly stick to my meal plan, but still indulged in some extra bites here and there. I’m happy about the scale going down, but I’ve got to make some modifications if I keep feeling like this. It’s not worth it and definitely not sustainable.
10/16 - 147.2 - Happy to hold steady after such a big drop yesterday. Still not sure what caused such extreme hunger, but I felt much better yesterday and today. Will be ordering out for dinner, so will need to plan carefully.
10/17 - 147.8 - Not surprised, for two reasons. One is that we had take-out pizza last night that was very salty - both kids woke up wanting water overnight. The second is that I’ve been tracking my weight with HappyScale (after seeing it recommended here!) and I can see that I generally have a bump up every 12-14 days and I was due for one. Knowing that history makes it a lot easier not to freak out when I see the number on the scale go up.
10/18 - 147.8 - High again, but it’s also now TOM, so again, not too surprised. Also felt very sore and heavy trying to exercise this morning. Just got to keep eating well and trust that the scale will go back down.
10/19 - 146.4 - There we go, back on track!
10/20 - 146.8 - Back up a little, but not too bad. Probably more accurate than the big drop yesterday. This morning was rough since the little guy woke at 4:00 AM - going to need lots of coffee today.
10/21 - 146.4 - And down again. Feeling good today - made some healthy pumpkin muffins for breakfast and the kids have actually been playing together nicely so I’ve managed to get some stuff done around the house. Happy Wednesday!
10/22 - DNW - Had an absolutely horrible sleepless night last night. Sorry, I’m sure you guys are tired (ha) of hearing me mention lack of sleep, but after practically zero sleep and facing a day of an incredibly cranky toddler I knew I couldn’t handle it emotionally if the scale went up too. Today will be a “get through the day” day - will try to limit snacking as much as possible and regroup for the end of the challenge tomorrow.
