    I am 34 years old and 5’2”.

    For the month of August, I plan to work out at least 5 hours a week and maintain a 7000 calorie deficit per week. Really hoping all my efforts result in a big change this month.

    **My scale measures in 1/8 pound increments**

    8/1 153.5
    8/2 152.5
    8/3 151.5
    8/4 151.5
    8/5 150.75
    8/6 151.0
    8/7 150.125
    8/8 150.5 (3 pounds down this week!!)
    8/9 151.5 (Not sure why the scale is going up. I am eating less than 1300 calories and exercising. I didn’t eat more salt than usual. I am sore from lifting so that could be it.)
    8/10 151.25 (I have been crushing my workouts and my diet has been on point… I have been weighing every smidge of food).
    8/11 149.5 (4 pounds down!!! 🌷)
    8/12 149.5 (Pretty dang happy the scale didn’t bounce back into the 150s this morning)
    8/13 148.75 (I ate super light)
    8/14 149.5 (I was crushing ab day and stayed at the gym a bit later than expected. I left the gym a hungry beast. I didn’t realize store bought Alfredo sauce was so carb heavy. Homemade Alfredo sauce isn’t carb heavy like that. I didn’t realize it until I was eating and counting calories. Let’s see what tomorrow’s weigh in reveals).
    8/15 149.75 (My diet and exercise has been consistently on point… just waiting for the scale)
    8/16 150.0 (I meal prepped carnitas bowls and I have been eating sausage dogs w/homemade slaw. I have a feeling this may be higher in sodium than my usual meal prep).
    8/17 149.5
    8/18 149.75 (Still following my diet and working out. I am not sure why the scale isn’t moving. I was incredibly hungry yesterday. I ate a few more calories than I originally planned but everything on the menu was diet approved. On the bright side, my work clothes definitely fit better)
    8/19 149.0 (It’s about time I saw the scale drop! Shooting for a couple low carb days and hoping for a bigger 21 day loss)
    8/20 148.5 (5 pounds down since August 1st!!! 🌻)

    I am averaging right around 1200 calories a day. I should be losing about 1/4 pound a day.

    Battling a stomach bug so the loss is mostly water. Although, definitely in a calorie deficit so hopefully a little will be fat.

    Back up a bit, but that was to be expected as I rehydrate. Feeling better and was able to eat yesterday, but my appetite was lower than usual. Wouldn't mind that after effect sticking around. Would make a calorie deficit much easier :D
