10/24 - 146.0 - Ok, ready for this round. Last night was Movie Night, which had the double whammy of me not getting in my normal evening walk and the temptation of buttered popcorn. I limited myself to a small amount of popcorn (still had butter on it though - not worth eating otherwise!) and we had a great time. Got off to a slow start this morning with a light workout and then a pancake breakfast - I didn’t blow all my calories for the day but I’m going to have to be careful.

10/25 - 144.8 - Eeeee! Where did that come from? Feeling great this morning - going to do a Halloween scavenger hunt with the kids in a local park today, and I did the grocery shopping yesterday so I can meal prep this afternoon.

10/26 - 145.0 - Tiny bump compared to the big drop from yesterday. Made goat cheese, roasted asparagus and spinach egg muffins this morning which hopefully will last me a few days. It meant I had a little less time for Ring Fit, but I still got it in. A morning without working out would feel strange at this point!

10/27 - 145.4 - Not the direction I want the scale to move, but I will not let it get to me! After seeing antiderivative talk about it on here, I got Just Dance 2020 for the Nintendo Switch last night and had SO MUCH FUN dancing with it this morning. It was a good workout too, and I’m sure it will be an even better one once I learn the moves for my favorite songs.

10/28 - 145.2 - Right direction, at least, if not by much. It’s getting colder here, so I probably won’t attempt any more outside runs in the morning for awhile. I’ll just focus on Ring Fit, Just Dance and I want to get the new Fitness Boxing 2 game when it comes out in December.

10/29 - 144.8 - Glad to be back down below 145 - just hope it sticks this time. My NSV is that when I was walking our dog last night, I realized that the leggings I was wearing were getting pretty loose! I’d already gone down a size in jeans, but now I can go down one in leggings too. I also made some strawberry banana overnight oats which were delicious this morning. Looking forward to getting to eat it the next few days as well.

10/30 - 143.4 - I actually said “wait, what?” out loud when I saw the number on the scale this morning. I know it’s as much of a fluke as a suddenly high weight - but it did put a smile on my face. Likely won’t stick around anyway, since tomorrow is Halloween and we’re doing a backyard Halloween party for the kids and the other family in our pod. I’ve got a lot of baking to do today for it!

10/31 - 144.0 - Ok, that’s more reasonable. Still a great number! I’ve eaten a lot today - much more calories and sugar than I’m currently used to....but honestly not a massive amount. Maybe a few hundred calories over maintenance (had to estimate since I’m not going to weigh food at a party!) It was a great backyard party and the kids had a ton of fun. I’m pretty happy that I can celebrate Halloween with my kids without feeling bad or like I’ve undone all the progress I’ve made. We’ll see what the scale says in the morning.

11/01 - 145.2 - No surprise after yesterday’s indulgences. I’m still feeling bloated and heavy this morning, even after working out. So I’m not worried about the scale - I already reached my goal weight for this round and I know this is just a temporary number that will go back down in a few days. And it was completely worth it! 😂

11/02 - 144.4 - I was hoping to be a little lower at the end of this round, but I think I’m still coming down from Halloween. It’s just going to get tougher from here as we go into the holidays, so I need to stay focused and strong. See you in the next round!

Total round loss: -1.6 lbs
