JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 159 (round 91 for me ) as always, I need this to help keep me on track!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new challenge.
Challenge for this round is to continue yet again to work back towards maintenance – any loss will be a win! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we have reached “freedom day”, but remember there is still a pandemic, continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in crowded indoor settings, always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/10 135.4 -9.82 miles walked yesterday, calories within, but carbs over.
8/11 135.4 - 11.87 miles walked yesterday. A really good day, I reset my eating, well in credit with calories and all other macros, hope to emulate it today and shortly see the reward on the scales.
8/12 134.4 – 8.99 miles walked yesterday, Calories well in carbs 4g over.
8/13 135.2 – 11.12 miles waked yesterday pushing DGS in his buggy, 30 minutes of which was not only uphill, but was against a brisk wind!! Don't really know how that affected my cardio as Fitbit was attached to my belt loop as when pushing him it doesn't count the steps; but it must have pushed heart rate up (felt like it anyway!!) Calories under, carbs & fat 7 &12g over respectively.
8/14 DNW – went away for the weekend in our caravan and forgot to pack my scales, in addition, we were in Wales with a very bad signal so abandoned trying to post! 10.12 miles walked yesterday.
8/15 DNW – 13.14 miles walked yesterday, enjoyed a Welsh cream tea and a few adult beverages.
8/16 135.6 – That's the result of being lax over the weekend – 8.34miles walked yesterday.
8/17 134.4 - 12.44 miles yesterday, excellent food day.

"Blond Bell" is what it's called), last of my grapes for lunch (was on meetings and not super hungry), then chicken and rice for dinner. Found my brace so going to try an easy run today. Not going to push it too much, just enough that I don't lose the progress I made, hopefully. Will see how the ankle feels.

Previous Day's Comments8/10 - A little drop off. Still look slightly bloated, but much much better than yesterday. Slow on TMI these past few days, guessing to do with bloating, so hopefully once things get going along, weight will go with it. Water wasn't ideal, estimating 60oz. Went on a run but had a few stops along the way. The pup got to meet the neighbor pup and I got to finally officially meet my backyard neighbor (rather than waving across the yard). Said hello to the sweet old man at the end of the street as well. Truly enjoy chatting with him. Pup couldn't keep up on the last 8min free run so I dropped her off during the 2 minute break between free runs and finished the last by myself. Walked the last 2 minutes (ran 6 mins) of that but it warmed up real quick once sun came up and I was struggling with the heat. Maybe I need to suck it up and run earlier when it's still a tad darker (still very visible, just early dawn).
8/11 - Shocking as I didn't track my water. Decent amount, but not quite goal. Also shocking, TOM hasn't started yet and I can still see some visible bloat from it. Maybe more will drop off when that happens?! Not getting hopes up too high since this is such a huge drop, but hey, it's possible. TMI finally back to normal (of course, after weigh in....) but at least my body is back to chugging along. Speaking of chugging along, did another run today. Whew, I didn't want to. Told myself I have a choice: run today and choose either tomorrow or Friday (my day off to sleep in) to get at least 1 more run in or DON'T run today and HAVE to run on my day off (meaning getting up early enough to beat the worst of the heat). Yep, I ran today. Managed to go slightly earlier so didn't get the sun until the last 8 min free form run. Managed the full run since I didn't get too hot until the very end (last 2 minutes I could push through). 90% humidity is NO JOKE! Next run will be challenging. 15 min run at the end! Eeek. 8 minutes was bad enough. But a lot more walking at the beginning so hopefully I'll have good enough timing to drop pup off between the intervals and the free runs. Should also give pup a good walk in before I drop her off to do the free run. Two birds, one stone!
8/12 - Typical bounciness, not worried. Still no TOM. Found out today that starting Week 4 of Zombies, Run! you have to pay! Ick. I may just do it, I haven't decided yet. I do want to know how the story goes, though. It's $5.99/mo and I signed up for a 5k on Oct 30th now (virtual as a benchmark for the in-person on Nov 20th). It's only 8 weeks and I've completed 3 so far so I will only need it for maybe 2 months (depending on how work commute goes -- so far I'm staying home for a couple weeks and can run). I did run 1.5 miles continuous today instead. Figured that's half of what I need to run so it doesn't hurt to see where I'm at. Plus, before I started training, I struggled so hard to run just 1 mile. Showing improvement already! Side note: there is a Guiness World Record attempt on Sept 19th for a 10k. I know I can't run the entire thing, but I can run a good chunk of it, I think. Especially with a little over a month left to train. I signed up because if this ends up being a world record, I can say I am a part of Guinness World Records. How cool!
8/13 - TOM is here, finally, and some relief from bloating. Heavy dinner last night, though, which offset some of the bloating relief. Ran 2 miles this morning and did a super hilly road with Fam. We all needed each other to go so we could motivate ourselves to get out of bed. Once we started running, we all separated. Wowza that sucked, but I pushed through! First time running 2 miles straight since I was in the army. Trying to get prepared for the 10k to run as much as I can. Don't think I'll go from 2 to 6 miles in a month, but it'll also help me with 5k training, too. Plus, if I keep running hills like that, I think the mostly flat surface for my races will be that much easier! Goal: complete the 10k whether I walk or run. Run my 5k in October (in full) and beat my October 5k time (and hopefully become my PR) come November for the in-person race! Drank a little over 90oz but I was super thirsty last night. Think I need to up water more on days I run. Can't tell if I'm truly sweating a ton or if it's the humidity (90% plus every day)
8/14 - Sodium (tried a German restaurant in town. THE BEST. Hadn't had it before), not quite enough water (about 70oz) and no TMI. Tad bit bloated, but seems to be getting better as day goes on. Finally got my hair cut today. Haven't had a trim in almost 2 years now! It desperately needed it. Trying to grow it now (it's to my belt) but the dead ends were going up the strands. Had to take about 2 inches off to get all the dead ends before they kept breaking off the rest of my hair! Feels so much more healthy now, though. No more straw-like ends, yippee! Was also told my hair is suuuper healthy for as long as it is which made me feel better. I do try to take care of it as best I can and keep it healthy. Healthier = longer to me. Glad I could get in before she had to cut more off to save the rest. The kitty I rescued (with my parents) passed today. It's been pretty rough since I haven't been able to see her for almost 3 years. Between transitioning out of the army and COVID, she didn't really know me. Probably won't fully hit me until I go home next and she's not there.
8/15 - DNP
8/16 - No hugs needed. Was out working land yesterday so couldn't post. Also think I'm retaining water from a very strenuous day. Also heavy dinner of steak followed by Tres Leche cake. FamHub's mom's birthday was Saturday. We went out to eat but couldn't bring a cake so we had it last night. I had never had that type of cake so I had to try a bit. I imagine the lactose in that isn't helping matters. Didn't eat a full slice, just a few bites to try something new. Ended up tweaking my ankle yesterday and my brace hasn't been located yet so only walked this morning rather than running. I'll have to look when BF gets up so I don't disturb him. Working on water. Drank a ton yesterday but with the amount of sweating, there was no way to keep up. Aiming for veggie-focused lunch today. Unsure about dinner.

R159: Time to make some progress and strive for <200 in August! Quit this yo-yo cycle. Lots of event challenges this round that include food & wine! Wedding shower, 2x book clubs, ZTA alumnae kickoff.
🎯Mini Goal: <202 (Repeat until I hit it!)
Exercise Goal for this round: Bike, swim, and strength class once per week. Walk the dog 100 miles in August!
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
8/10 202.4 Walked 3.1 + .6 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1678 cal, 91 net carbs, AF.
8/11 202.2 Walked 3 miles, Bike 30 min, 1415 cal, 83 net carbs, AF. Started planning a road trip for October up to TN & NC! Ordered a couple of new pairs of shorts and a swim suit since both are falling off me … which doesn’t work well when going to the strength training class or swimming laps.
8/12 202.1 Walked 3.4 + 1.3 miles, 1588 cal, 137 net carbs, AF. More planning for our trip this fall as well as making plans to remodel & repair our home.
8/13 202.0 Walked 3 + 1.3 miles, 1537 cal, 107 net carbs, AF. Switched up my daily nutrition goals and target calories. We’ll see how this plays out over the next week. My new bathing suit from Lands End came in yesterday! The size 16 fit! Yeah! I can get rid of my 1x & 2x bathing suits and swim laps today without flashing anyone. 🏊♀️
8/14 201.6 Walked 3.3 + .7 miles, swam laps 400m 20 min, treaded water 7 min, 1543 cal, 85 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
8/15 202.0 Walked 3.2 miles with my DD & her dogs, 1808 cal, 100 net carbs, 1 glass wine. In the red calorie wise so not surprised by the uptick on the scale. Wedding shower which included cake then my kids came over for dinner. Definitely what I would call a food day though I spent most of the time talking to friends and family.
8/16 201.8 Walk 3 miles, Bike 30 min, 1325 cal, 113 net carbs (biscotti at breakfast & rye bread on sandwich blew my carb budget today), AF.
8/17 202.9 Walked 3.4 miles, Bike 30 min, 1514 cal, 95 net carbs, AF. Book club. Chose wisely at restaurant (chicken kabob, tomato cucumber salad, 1/2 cup rice, water) and still got a bump up. This was the easiest restaurant for the week to plan & execute. First of 4 nights out. Hmmm

Day/Weight/Comment
8/10 - 251.3 Slight uptick today. We had alfredo pasta for dinner so probably some water retention. Also didn't run this morning after sleeping in. I always find the last pound getting to the next decade harder than any of the pounds in the middle.
8/11 - 250.2 SO CLOSE! 1 pound away from being 50 lbs down. Less than a pound away from under 250. Got in a short run this morning before work, doing a longer one tonight to see if I can see 249 on the scale tomorrow. Crazy to think that the start of round 159 will be on the 4 month anniversary of starting this and I could be down 50+ lbs. Really giving me that extra motivation I need during this period of 11+ hour work days!
8/12 - 249.8 Out of the 250s which means half way to the 100s. Also, this takes me out of the Morbidly Obese BMI and into just Obese. I'm just obese! The scale was teetering this morning between 249.8 and 250 but I gave it a death stare to get under 250. Did a short run again this morning but our A/C is broken... again, so that took up my morning.
8/13 - 250.7 Not really surprised by this after a stressful day dealing with the A/C and work. Had a high salt dinner so I expected a bounce up. Ran 2.5 miles this morning, though. I feel like the last week or so was a linear downtrend in weight so this is just normal life. Expecting a drop this weekend per usual.
8/14 - 251.1
8/15 - 250.2
8/16 - 247.4 The weekend drop strikes again! I was honestly surprised with the weigh-ins on Saturday/Sunday because of how much yard work I had to do this weekend. I spent almost 2 hours yesterday pulling up a patio and moving bricks across the yard. Now that I can officially say I'm 50 lbs down, the next goal is 60 lbs which is 1/2 way to my goal. The small goals like this group keep me motivated along the way!
8/17 - 246.9 Nothing really motivational today, because I'm really tired. I spent my morning shower thinking of what my next goal is after 60 lbs down because I've been so focused on that for 4 months. Long term I think it'd be cool to be down 100 lbs by Christmas but I know the weight loss is going to slow down so I don't want to pressure myself. Ran 2.5 miles this morning pushing through my exhaustion!

8/10 - 240.4 (+.4) I usually try to eat before 6pm, but yesterday was a really busy day so I didn’t eat until after 8pm. That usually impacts my weight the next day. Looking forward to swimming in a few hours. My sister and I take weekly progress pictures. It was really inspiring to see the changes in the last 3 weeks.
8/11 - 239 (-1.0) Yay! Into the 230’s for the first time in several years. Yesterday’s swim was wonderful I’m recovering faster after each lap and able to keep moving the full hour. I swam 825 meters which is the most so far. Still a bit awkward with my strokes, but getting better.
8/12 - 238.4 (-1.6) Another nice drop. In the last two weeks, after my weight loss slowed, I lowered my daily calorie goals and that’s seemed to have an effect. My goal is 2 pounds a week so if it goes over that, I’ll bump the calories up until it balances out. I’m back to the pool today in between painting sessions.
8/13 - 237.0 (-3.0) Wow! I had a good swim yesterday. My endurance is getting better and I’m not using the kick board as much. I ate back less than half my exercise calories. I probably need to eat back a few more. Today is my indulgence meal, so I’ll gain back a little over the next two-three days.
8/14 - 237.6 (-2.4) A little bump up from my indulgence meal. I may have another bump up tomorrow. I did my workout at Orange Theory Fitness For some reason I was really tired yesterday. I haven’t felt that way for weeks, but after a nap, and a good night’s sleep, I’m back on track.
8/15 - 237.6 (-2.4) Yesterday was my rest day as far as exercise goes. Today is another hike with my sister. It should be a beautiful day!
8/16 - 237.6 (-2.4) Stuck for a few days at this weight. I ate late yesterday and didn’t eat up to the exercise calories I burned during my hike yesterday. But I am down from my starting weight and very happy with that.
8/17 - 237.8 (-2.2) I’m a bit disappointed and surprised, but I’m expecting a whoosh any day. I’m staying within calories. I have very busy days and am not eating on my previous schedule. Who knows…staying the course.12 -

Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this challenge going!
May 10, 2021 - 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)
I'm going to track my goals this round:

SW: 169.2
8/10: 168.4 - IF 18.5 hrs, 80oz water. Rowed 30 min. The garden is really starting to produce now so it's that time of the year where every meal has vegetables out of the garden. Today I made zucchini noodles which I had never made or eaten. I didn't have anything to spiral them with so I just used a peeler. They were more like egg noodles than spaghetti. I was surprised how good they were. I like zucchini but cooking them this way really did make you feel like you were eating noodles.
8/11: 168.5 - IF 17 hrs, 64oz water.
8/12: 168.2 - IF 17 hrs. Not enough water, or vegetables yesterday. Replaced them with too many carbs/salt. We'll see if it catches up with me tomorrow on the scale, but, either way, today I'm back on track. I want to continue on this healthy track because I am feeling so much better!
8/13: 168.3 - IF 18 hrs. 44oz water. Rowed and Free-weights.
8/14: DNW - IF? I forgot to log when I quit eating yesterday and can't remember the time.
I usually stop by 5pm but had watermelon sitting on my counter and ate some every time I passed by it last night. This is also the reason I decided not to weigh this morning.
8/15: 168.1 - IF 16. 80oz water. Lots of vegetables.
@quiltingjaine - Thank you for the reminder about watermelon. When I stop sugar and refined flour products, I tend to overdo sweet fruit like watermelon. I was more mindful of it yesterday. It's a beautiful Sunday morning with the humidity dropping. I'm going to ride over to the ocean this morning - should be beautiful with the clear blue skies.
8/16: 168.0 Come on 167.x. IF 18hrs. 80oz of water 2 days in a row - YAY! Rowed 30.
8/17: 168.3 I think this will drop off tomorrow with 80oz of water today (knock on wood).
IF 18 hrs. 56oz water.

Trying to establish a new base of operations near 207. Like football (American), I want to establish better field position on the opponent. I have been on the 210 yard line for too long. I want to be in a position to win the 4th quarter (of 2021.) For a change. Hike!
8/11: 208.0
I was kinda hoping for a better drop. Calories on-point and a huge exercise session in the spinning class. But hey, a drop is a drop.
8/12: 207.4
Did my mowing in the thick air last night. Clothes drenched. I do love this time of year though.

8/11: 296.8 ⬆️ (+ 2.6 lbs) 🤬 Wasn't going to post this, then I thought, I need to be accountable for my actions. This is my fault, I overeat yesterday on unhealthy foods. It's seems easier to put the weight on, then to take it off. . Temptation is hard to over come. I need to learn to overcome temptations when it comes to food.
(Need to remember a moment of pleasure through the lips and into the mouth, is a lifetime on the hips.) 😡

8/14: 296.6 ⬇️ (-2 oz) Wasn't feeling good the past 2 days. Not much drop; but, at least it's not a gain.
8/15: 293.4 ⬇️ (-3.2 lbs) Finally losing all the weight I've gained from overeating at the beginning of this round, Plus have lost an additional 1 lb. 🥳
Haven't really been exercising, plan to start today. Need to find an exercise routine that works best for me. 😄
8/16: 292.4 ⬇️ (-1 lb) Was mindful of my eating, and kept under calories for the day. Carbs where a little high, but not to bad. Still need to work on exercising more. Overall, yesterday was a good day.
8/17: 291 ⬇️ (-1.4) Surprised! Wasn't expecting this much drop! Happy with the loss (-2 lbs) to go and I'll be out of the 90's. Looking forward to seeing the 80's. 😄

I was really hungry around 9 last night, held out until 10, then ate a piece of Dave’s Good Seed thin with a T of peanuts-only peanut butter. So calories a bit higher than planned, but not stupid high. I’m going to try for a walk right now, but we’re under a heat advisory with very high humidity and it’s already hot and muggy out, so I don’t know that I’ll get far. Maybe I’ll go hike around Menard’s. 🏃🏻♀️🪛🏃🏽♀️🔨🏃🏽♀️

Lots of rain and wind last night and another heat advisory today. Must be August!

Lots of rain and heat here. I’m catching up with my reading!
8/13 - 188.4 (188.4) - 1523
Love it when daily and average weights merge, though I’d like them lower! But my average is going down, so all good! It’s finally cooled off today so I’m going for a walk and the looking for a new viburnum for my garden. Have a great Friday!
8/14 - 187.8 (188.2) - 1558
I’m surprised because we had Thai carry out yesterday. I did stick to vegetable stir fry, but still. Not gonna argue! The heat and humidity have subsided finally, and I have a garden day planned — new viburnums, hydrangeas, and a few others to plants, plus a lot of happy weeds to yank. Happy Saturday, all!
8/15 - 188.2 (188.2) - 1362
It’s a perfect summer day here — I hope you have the same. Yesterday I did a lot of planting. Today, deadheading and weeding! And a walk later. Perfection.
8/16 - 186.8 (187.7) - 1213
Monday, Monday… cool and overcast here, so a good morning for a long walk, methinks. Right now I’m having a second cup of coffee in the garden with about eight pairs of goldfinches, two Ruby-throated hummingbirds, some house finches, a bunch of sparrows, and a couple of wascally wabbits. Perfection!
8/17 - 188.6 (187.9) - 1503
How does that make any sense? Has to be water, even if yesterday was a false low, since my calories have been consistently below maintenance for more than a week. Frustrating, though. No hugs needed, just venting where I can! I think next round I’ll go to recording just my running average — much less volatile.

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.

⭐️⭐️8/9 115.5 Great Greek for lunch yesterday with DD#2 and DSIL. (3rd Sunday in a row!😁♥️) This was an interesting week food wise. I ate several products with refined flour and they have not caused an increase in my weight but my knees are hurting again like they did 4 years ago.

8/10 116.5 ⭐️⭐️And there is the anticipated bounce! DGD#1 and BF came last night after leisurely trip with sightseeing from Oklahoma via Phoenix. They’re spending most of the day so they can see our DD#2, her aunt who works until 3:30 teaching. Then on to LA to his family.
8/11 116.0 1/2 Omelet House green chili omelet for brunch. DGD and BF stayed again last night because they would have been so late arriving in LA. Went “B Dubs” for dinner with DD, DSIL, and 2 youngest DGDs. I ate half of a chef’s salad.
8/12 116.0 DGD & BF left for LA around 1:30 yesterday afternoon. It was so nice to see her and meet him. We are so appreciative of them changing their route to come to LV before LA. We were concerned about the # of people and places they might expose us to inadvertently.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/09 …..189.6….. (trend 192.3) ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/10 …..189.6 ….. (trend 192.0) Exactly the same as yesterday. Hanging on to those 180’s . I really noticed that my early summer clothes are now very baggy and beginning to fall of me. And I’m starting to notice those bones I forgot I had. Many who have lost a fair amount of weight before knows exactly what I mean. It’s the NSV I’ve been waiting for. I’m hoping for more water and more movement today.
08/11 …..189.6 ….. (trend 191.8) Third day in a row at the same actual weight but still trending down. Lots of movement on the downward trend due to recent weight losses. Tomorrow is a very long travel day. A friend will be going with me. There will likely be indulgences but nothing I can’t handle when I get home. I’m feeling strong and capable still.
08/12 …..190.0 ….. (trend 191.6)
Late Dinner, early weigh-in. 3 hours of sleep. Travel today to the cancer center for my annual mamm and check-up. I expect more uprise from the scale tomorrow but it will be temporary.
08/13 …..193.2 ….. (trend 191.7) I obviously did not practice any restraint whatsoever at the golden corral during my medical traveling yesterday. I am on top of it today! News a little worse than I expected. I need a liver scan due to multiple lesions that showed up in the corner of my last lung CT scan in 2020. Due to covid there has been delays (some on my part) on everything medical. They have also ordered a CT scan for my lungs again. The last scan showed a nodule had grown from 1.7 to 2.3 cm. That does not mean cancer from breast has metastasized yet. It could be a benign growth because they considered that a small change in a 6 month period. I Missed 2 scans 6 months apart for rechecks so I will have to go have it checked soon. Making the appointments today on the phone. My breast mamm was good but my manual breast check with the oncologist showed a small growth in the skin (not in the breast tissue itself) very near the surgical sight. She said it did not look good. She had a general surgeon look at it who didn’t like it either. They had a plastic surgeon come in and check who didn’t like it either. They found a dermatologist who hadn’t left for home yet who didn’t like it. She asked to do an emergency biopsy which I agreed to. I was moved to a procedure room, numbed and the entire thing was fully removed. If it is cancerous it will not be skin cancer but, rather, breast cancer metastasized. No cure but can be treated (whatever that means). I have 2 stitches which I can have family take out later to avoid another long trip back. I am still waiting to hear the results. I have 2 other smaller bumps that looks just like it that they didn’t touch. If the big one they removed is okay, they should be okay too according to the doctor. Hoping for the best!
08/14 …..189.6 ….. (trend weight 191.5) So, my well went out again while I was standing naked to get into the shower Thur morning as I was getting ready for my road trip to the University Hospital. I had to go to neighbors for a shower again just to prep for the cancer appointment. The well man worked all day Friday and when he finally got the brand new well pump on, it seized up and so I still have no water since basically last Wed night. He is here now trying again but I can hear him cursing as he comes back & forth up the basement steps. Pray pray pray! Weight back down today. Not much planned exercise yesterday, moderate water, but I did get almost 5 hours of sleep last night (that’s good for me). I also did a lot of walking back & forth to neighbors for potty putting my steps at 14,000+. All my workers are sharing an unflushable toilet in my house as the other bathroom is getting remodeled. Not me! Well man is still slamming doors out to attached garage as we speak. Please God, give me and everyone else on earth clean flowing water. Our world has never been more divided than right now between Essential and Non-Essential. This is Essential!
08/15 …..187.6 ….. (trend weight 191.1) Still no water. I will have to wait until Monday. Repair man thinking the screen in the tip may be clogged which requires big machine to get down into the ground. He will call a well company on Monday to get advice/their take on what needs to be done. Happy that weight is still moving down. I watched my diet carefully again yesterday and added as much movement as possible in light of all the workers here. I got in over 14,000 steps again just walking back & forth to the neighbors to use their bathroom.
08/16 …..187.2 ….. (trend weight 190.7) A lower cal day yesterday and 11,000+ steps to the neighbors again so I am not surprised to see a bit of a drop. Hoping and praying that well man gets some answers and there will be a fix in store very soon. In this rural area, well companies are not nearby, but there are 1 or two in surrounding counties, over an hour away. Hoping the fix will not be too expensive as I’ve already spent so much already. Hoping anyone that can help has an opening on their schedule VERY SOON!
08/17 …..187.8 ….. (trend weight 190.4) Well….I guess I am happy that trend weight is down. Scale weight up but truthfully, I am estatic that it isn’t higher. I made a bad and unplanned choice during the late afternoon and then tried to skip dinner to make up for it. It ended up being a binge for food by 11:00 pm. Bad mistakes all around. I won’t do that again. After eating over calories, I always feel STARVING the next day as my body wants me to overdo the calories again. So strange how that works. I am ignoring the requests and eating to plan today. I am carefully planning all meals and not getting sidetracked by the flurry of activity at my house right now. BTW…..No water still……no response from well company yet. I may have to take some dirty dishes and some laundry to the neighbors today. This is a new house to me and I don't even know them that well. Sad today.....all hugs welcome! Prayers requested.

8/11 197.1
8/12 196.2 I weighed very early in the am. So yesterday my children's father showed up at my job. It was potentially a very messy and extremely scary situation however he was arrested without incident. He is off the street which will make me sleep better at night. No hugs for me though. I am not hurt, and I am now on a tropical beach...determined to enjoy our birthday. (I am a twin). HERE'S TO 40!!!

8/13 - 61.5kg, was going to wait to start but jumping on now regardless of the upcoming weekend!
8/14 - 60.9kg, got my 2nd vaccine yesterday so a bit of lethargy and some comfort food
8/15 - 60.6kg, a few social stressors, but eating was good, did some gardening and a bit of walking
8/16 - 60.6kg, no change so I guess the honeymoon phase is over, keeping eating under control, more walking
8/17 - 60.3kg, when I'm wanting to lose it matters so much more that what I eat is nicely presented and healthful
8/18 - 60.4kg, bit of a back slide last night because of bad news from the community, but back on track today
