    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
    8/10 151.25
    8/11 149.5 (4 pounds down!!! 🌷)
    8/12 149.5
    8/13 148.75
    8/14 149.5
    8/15 149.75
    8/16 150.0
    8/17 149.5
    8/18 149.75
    8/19 149.0
    8/20 148.5 (5 pounds down since August 1st!!! 🌻)
    8/21 149.0
    8/22 147.5 (6 pounds down!!!)
    8/23 148.5
    8/24 149.5 (Yesterday, I was unprepared and ate at maintenance… no surprise @ the scale movement)
    8/25 149.5 (Yesterday, I ate at maintenance again. I woke up in the night so incredibly hungry I couldn’t sleep. I ate a lot of calories but I stuck to diet approved foods and felt like I really needed them)
    8/29 153.0 😳 (Took a few vacation days)
    8/30 151.5 (Really hoping to shake a couple of these pounds I just gained by the first)
    8/31 149.75

    This was a surprise considering I definitely ate too many sweets yesterday (been having a rough couple days and sought comfort in food). I will take it though.
