WI DAY SUNDAYS

1/3 -178.2 , back with a new attitude & ready to do this.
1/4 - 177.8, today was soooo long! First day back to work after my surgery 3 weeks ago. But I made it through it, I did really good with my food choices too. I’m wiped out & ready for bed. Hope you all had a GREAT DAY!
1/5 - 177.4 Happy with this considering I ate chocolate last night.
1/6 - 177 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Happy with this! Doctors appointment went well yesterday! I get to start at home physical therapy today & in 3 weeks on site PT! I’m ready to be back to normal. Not being able to use my right arm is a pain.

Week One: -1.2
Week Three: +.2

1/17- 177.2 Well it has been the crappiest few months for me, with my dad’s passing, my shoulder surgery and then COVID-19. I haven’t been keeping track of my eating habits since 1/7/21 because I ended up testing positive for COVID-19! Good thing about it I didn’t gain weight. I am back feeling well and ready to get back down to a happier weight! I think the only thing that helped me during the past 10 days is the fact that I could not taste or smell anything. I still can’t taste or smell very good, hopefully they will return sooner than later! Stay healthy and safe my friends!😷🙏🏼

1/18- 178. I’m sure it’s all catching up to me now! I go back to work tomorrow THANK GOODNESS! All this being at home doing nothing is starting to get to me. I was able to make the bed by myself today, which wiped me out 😆. Back to work means steps & more movement. Then next week I get to start physical therapy 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻.

MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191

January starting weight: 138.4 - (This includes holiday stuff, so higher than I had been)
January goal: 133.4

1/1 - 138.4
1/2 - 137.2
1/3 - 136.1 - I am pleased with this number. I think that it took me months to get the holiday weight off last year. Upped my activity and reduced my consumption.
1/4 - 135.9 - Surprised to see this number, I was thinking that yesterday was just a fluctuation. All of that holiday skating and x-country skiing maybe is kicking in.
1/5 - 135.4 - Maybe the holiday eating upped my metabolism? I normally lose 1 pound per month, so pretty happy to see a dip on the scale.
1/6 - 135.5 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, hoping to see that on the scale in the next couple of days.
1/7 - 134.8 - Yay!

WEEK 2:
8 - 134.1 - Wow. I lost 12 pounds in 12 months. I don't think that I am doing anything differently. Almost can't believe that the scale is moving this way.
9 - 135.1 - Kind of bad choices yesterday. Hard to get it off, very easy to put it back on. I don't want to let myself derail.
10 - 137.4 - Hoping that this is just a fluctuation, I was "good"
11 - 137.4 - Hmm, well, I guess this is where my body wants to be today. Maybe it will drop over the next few days.
12 - 136.1 - Better.
13 - 136.5 - Okay.
14 - 135.8 - This motivates me to keep being "good"

WEEK 3:
15 - 136.7 - Nachos last night. I will work to get this back off.
16 - 136.5 - I have been a bit off my eating this weekend, but I always have more time for working out on the weekends too.
17 - 137.3 - Yo-yo. Good choices yesterday and lots of activity. Nacho catching up. Hoping to drop tomorrow.
18 - 135.8 - Glad to see it coming back down.
19 - 135.6 - It takes a few days to catch up in either direction with my slow metabolism. I am being "good".

Week 1:
1/1 - 230.1
1/2 - 230.4 Not sure why I'm up - yesterday was a good day
1/3 - 232 yesterday was a really bad food day. I'm eating light today & drinking lots of water.
1/4 - 231.6
1/5 - 231.3
1/6 - 229.8 woohoo! 1st time seeing the 220s in over a year!
1/7 - 229.8

1/8 - 229.3
1/9 - 228.8
1/10 - 227.7
1/11 - 227.2 - steadily dropping... just what I like to see!
1/12 - 226.6
1/13 - 226.7 was expecting a stall/slight increase after dropping 3+ lbs in 5 days
1/14 - 227.4 no idea why I'm up this morning - I've been good this week!

Week 3:

January total weight loss:

12/31: 207.0

01/01: 207.8

01/02: 208.1 Travel and limited movement.

01/03: 207.1 Okay better!
01/04: 207.4
01/05: 207.0
01/06: 207.2 Normal fluctuation but I need to get off the 7 and get to the 6
01/07: 207.2
01/08: 207.0 A little better due to smaller portions.
01/09: 208.6 Crazy Scale! The only indiscretion was milk. Goodbye Milk!
01/10: 208.6 Good meals but a very late dinner again due to people “popping in” and staying late (11:00 pm).
01/11: 207.0 A nice whoosh. A few small changes (like avoiding milk) paid off.
01/12: 207.0 Surprised to see it unchanged after travel. Restaurant meal and lack of movement.
01/13: 207.2 A normal fluctuation. I increased my steps yesterday to over 12,000 to try to make up for the day before (sitting while traveling).
01/14: 207.0 I am still hoping to see the 6. I feel like I've worked my butt off for half this month just to get back to starting weight, all over a lousy glass of milk! I know there is more to it than that and that movement makes a big difference too, but I really need the 6
01/15: DNW I didn’t get a chance to weigh. I was woke up by a friend banging on the door and it slipped my mind until after 2 cups of coffee. Good meal planning yesterday but my late-night snacks were bad.
01/16: 207.0 Going for the 6 after a good night’s sleep.
01/17: 206.8 Mission Accomplished. Finally the 6! Barely, but finally!
01/18: 206.2 Yay!!!! Now I am going to tiptoe to the 5 and hope it doesn’t see me and stop me!
01/19: 205.6 I am so thrilled to see this. My meals weren’t “perfect” but I was especially careful to eat a very low cal/low carb dinner.
