HAPPY FRIYAYY! I'm really excited to share that today will be my first NSV! During my journey, this time around I'm praising and highlighting my small changes. Fingers crossed, that I do not go overindulge in my sweet reward later. I'm thinking a glass of wine...
October Stats...
UGW: 150s
Oct SW: 223
Oct GW: 215 (Original goal) 220 (Edited to be more realistic)
10/8 - 223 Will perform two of Chloe Ting's fitness programs on YT and K.O. with 5 quad exercises ranging in 3 sets x 10-15 reps
10/9 - 227 The most movement I did was bring a fork to my mouth:/
10/10 - No weigh-ins, no workouts...just vibes
10/11 - Debating on weighing in during my cycle, I usually gain 3-10 pounds in water weight. Weight lifting about 10-12 reps x 5 sets for 5 exercises. (Deficit Deadlifts, Standing DB Overhead Shoulder Press, Seated Arnold Press, Lying Leg Curl, Back Extensions), followed by a HIIT workout for cardio and finishing with 10 min sprint on the treadmill.
10/11 (Evening) - After saying I was not going to weigh myself, I did it anyway. Let's just say...the scale had me crying all mf'n night. hehe. (234 yikes!!!!)
10/12 - 229...a lot more acceptable but I may need to adjust something in my routine. Push day in full effect with either running or indoor cycling for HIIT
10/13 - 228.60 The water weight is slowly but surely leaving my body. I am increasing my water intake to speed up the process. It's a small dent but I'm not 229 anymore so that's a plus.;)Glutes/Hammies/Inner thigh day so I plan to leave the gym with baby giraffe legs. (If you do not know what I mean, please google Baby Giraffe Tries to Stand/Walk and thank me later.)<3
10/13 - 228.60 Maintaining weight...not sure how I actually feel about:/Will add a HIIT workout after today's weight lifting schedule. Also, need to work on protein and water intake. Baby, somebody really should have told me I needed to eat my weight in protein BEFORE I became 200+ pounds.
10/14 - 225.60 It is a happy surprise to see this number. I'm speaking into existence that I will lose the 5.60 pounds by the 31st. New goals for the end of October will be to focus a lot more on my food and incorporating HIIT at least 4x a week.8 -

10/7- 185.4
10/8 - 184.4
10/9 - 184.4 today of my birthday so there will be cake, actually wedding cake as I’m going to a wedding this morning.
10/10 - 185.4 - up a pound, but I think that will be ok once my body works through the sodium from the last two days. No worries.
10/11 - 184.8 - a little down from the up, hopefully I'll have purged all the salt by tomorrow and see a loss.
10/12 - 183.4 - the weekend bloat is gone and showing an actual loss now. Yay!!!
10/13 - 182.6 - Another drop, but I was way low on calories yesterday, but I'll take it. Yay!
10/14 - 181.8 - Tonight is date night so tomorrow will definitely be higher, but hopefully not too bad.
10/15 - 184.4 - Yep date night bumped me back up, but it isn't real weight so I won't fret.

10/2 - 186.2 rainy here in Indiana so planning on a treadmill walk while watching a Hallmark movie. Actually, I think I'll get my day's food logged in and go walk before the day gets completely away from me.
10/3 - 185.8 thrilled to have another lower number, 3 days in a row. Staying determined and motivated! Am doing food prep today (after a grocery run), laundry, and hopefully getting the dogs out for a walk, otherwise another treadmill journey for me.
10/4 - 186.6 Monday morning bounce, although I also didn't exercise at all yesterday. I did get my grocery run done, food prep, and laundry. I should have started with the exercise though. Will do better today; still rainy so will have a lunch treadmill walk shortly. Food is logged.
10/5 - 186.6 failed on exercise yesterday. sigh. I struggle putting myself on the to-do list. Food planned and logged though.
10/6 - 185.8 still no exercise. Funeral home viewing tonight, service tomorrow with lunch after.

10/10 - 184.8 plan for today is grocery - meal prep - walk - laundry - work

Goal: 181.2 (Five lb Loss)
Challenge End Weight: xxxxx
************************************************************
10/01-…...187.0 Well, there I am, off to a bad start. I had a full-on binge last night so this is not surprising. Today I will try to compensate as best I can but tomorrow may be a travel day. That means restaurant meal and less than normal movement. Ugg, why does it have to be such a rough road?
10/02-.…..185.0 I worked outside yesterday on painting and staining. Over 16,000 steps back & forth into the house. 6 flights of stairs and 2900 calorie burn overall for the day. That helped. I stuck to my guns and avoided over-snacking last night which is my #1 downfall. It all paid off. Today is travel so tomorrow the scale will be up again due to restaurant meal and lots of car sitting/driving but no worries. I will quickly turn it back around.
10/03-.…..187.0 My body really seems to like that 187 range but I’m afraid that I’m going to be putting it in the rear view mirror for good. Sorry body! This is the after travel uptick I expected. With the rain and the handymen here today, movement will be difficult but my diet can stay on point. Going to use my stairs in my house for some extra calorie burn!
10/04-.…. 187.2…..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
.
10/05-.…..186.8…..I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.
10/06-.…..184.6…..Body functions worked good yesterday (finally). Nice to see a drop on the scale and find out where I really am.
10/07-.…..184.8….. A normal fluctuation. All is well and yesterday was a good day. I am so happy to hanging around in the 184 range. Aiming for another good day today!
10/08-.…..185.6…..I have no idea in this world of ours why there was a gain. My macros were good, my calories were in the green, I had even more exercise than I logged. Nothing too salty to eat. Perhaps my body is just compensating a little for the large recent drops. In any case, I am still down from this round’s start so I’ll not sweat it and just trust the process.
10/09-.…..184.0…..Okay, there’s the adjustment over yesterday’s strange weigh-in. I am hoping to have another very good day today. Rain expected all day and a new handyman is here for the first time for a new phase of my projects. I’ll try using the stairs inside for some steps and movement.
10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad. Daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after trouble at home. She brought Chinese which we split and fit into my calorie allowance (at the time). I’m thinking sodium. I’ll have to really watch it today which will be difficult with others here. I’ll have to readjust things.
10/11-.…..185.6(Trend Weight 188.1)….. My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.
10/12-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.9)….. I was hoping to see a better result on the scale. Yesterday was an all-around good day. I talked to my daughter about that candy and she made a good plan to get it out of the house. I resisted it yesterday. Zero pieces. Travel today which will cause an uptick, but it least it won’t be candy I’ll be eating at the restaurant! . Clothes are looser again. I’m happy for the body recomposition.
10/13-.…..187.0…..(Trend Weight 187.8)….. Expected uptick from yesterday’s travel. Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all. I already feel drained. Today is not going to be a good day. That is clear. Poor little fella has been uprooted from his home and so I understand his frustration. But it doesn’t make it any easier, especially physically. It took two of us getting kicked in the face, just to get him standing to get his clothes on. I’m already reminding myself about every 3 minutes that I will not emotionally eat today or that I will not take the easy way out and eat something that doesn’t require a lot of planning due to exhaustion. That usually has more calories and carbs. Uptick on the scale is from travel yesterday. I’ve got to try to offset that today while figuring out how to deal with 4 different people and 4 different eating tastes and habits including my Autistic son and his white food. 7 workers expected throughout the day today, overlapping. Last one will leave about 9:30 pm. I’m not looking forward to this day. DGS sets the whole tone for all of us in the morning.
10/14-.…..xxxxx186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.6)…..Travel weight oozing back out. Happy to see it. Downward trend going well too. My daughter made pumpkin cheesecake for dessert tonight from scratch which is pretty cruel. I will have one piece and allow for it, but I will have to have her padlock me in at night as I stay up late and my bedroom is not far from the refrigerator for 2nds. Control……Not just now, ……for Life……
10/15-……185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.2)….. Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.

10/2 - 219.4 Need to desperately break out of the 219-220 cycle. Travel day today so I know the scale won’t be happy tomorrow.

10/10 - 222.7 WTF 🤬 How? Ate within my calorie goal, no snacking which is a big win, and 3 mile walk.
10/11 - 223.1 😟 4mile walk yesterday
10/12 - 220.5 🤷🏽♀️ Thinking about taking a break from the scale for a few days. It’s been a rollercoaster. We’ll see. It’s such a part of my daily routine.
10/13 - 223.7 🤔 3 mile walk yesterday
10/14 - 222.8 Staying on track even if the scale has been sucky
10/15 - 222.6 Long day yesterday led to some snacking.
10/16 - 224.5 Not a typo. Enjoyed a wonderful evening at the the Two Michelin star and voted #40 on the world’s best restaurants list, Suhring. I completed a 3.25 walk/run in the morning so maybe it kept me from being 225 😂. Back to the basics today!

10/06-.…..184.6…..Body functions worked good yesterday (finally). Nice to see a drop on the scale and find out where I really am.
10/07-.…..184.8….. A normal fluctuation. All is well and yesterday was a good day. I am so happy to hanging around in the 184 range. Aiming for another good day today!
10/08-.…..185.6…..I have no idea in this world of ours why there was a gain. My macros were good, my calories were in the green, I had even more exercise than I logged. Nothing too salty to eat. Perhaps my body is just compensating a little for the large recent drops. In any case, I am still down from this round’s start so I’ll not sweat it and just trust the process.
10/09-.…..184.0…..Okay, there’s the adjustment over yesterday’s strange weigh-in. I am hoping to have another very good day today. Rain expected all day and a new handyman is here for the first time for a new phase of my projects. I’ll try using the stairs inside for some steps and movement.
10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad. Daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after trouble at home. She brought Chinese which we split and fit into my calorie allowance (at the time). I’m thinking sodium. I’ll have to really watch it today which will be difficult with others here. I’ll have to readjust things.
10/11-.…..185.6(Trend Weight 188.1)….. My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.
10/12-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.9)….. I was hoping to see a better result on the scale. Yesterday was an all-around good day. I talked to my daughter about that candy and she made a good plan to get it out of the house. I resisted it yesterday. Zero pieces. Travel today which will cause an uptick, but it least it won’t be candy I’ll be eating at the restaurant! . Clothes are looser again. I’m happy for the body recomposition.
10/13-.…..187.0…..(Trend Weight 187.8)….. Expected uptick from yesterday’s travel. Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all. I already feel drained. Today is not going to be a good day. That is clear. Poor little fella has been uprooted from his home and so I understand his frustration. But it doesn’t make it any easier, especially physically. It took two of us getting kicked in the face, just to get him standing to get his clothes on. I’m already reminding myself about every 3 minutes that I will not emotionally eat today or that I will not take the easy way out and eat something that doesn’t require a lot of planning due to exhaustion. That usually has more calories and carbs. Uptick on the scale is from travel yesterday. I’ve got to try to offset that today while figuring out how to deal with 4 different people and 4 different eating tastes and habits including my Autistic son and his white food. 7 workers expected throughout the day today, overlapping. Last one will leave about 9:30 pm. I’m not looking forward to this day. DGS sets the whole tone for all of us in the morning.
10/14-.…..xxxxx186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.6)…..Travel weight oozing back out. Happy to see it. Downward trend going well too. My daughter made pumpkin cheesecake for dessert tonight from scratch which is pretty cruel. I will have one piece and allow for it, but I will have to have her padlock me in at night as I stay up late and my bedroom is not far from the refrigerator for 2nds. Control……Not just now, ……for Life……
10/15-……185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.2)….. Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.

******************************
10/01-…...187.0 Well, there I am, off to a bad start. I had a full-on binge last night so this is not surprising. Today I will try to compensate as best I can but tomorrow may be a travel day. That means restaurant meal and less than normal movement. Ugg, why does it have to be such a rough road?
10/02-.…..185.0 I worked outside yesterday on painting and staining. Over 16,000 steps back & forth into the house. 6 flights of stairs and 2900 calorie burn overall for the day. That helped. I stuck to my guns and avoided over-snacking last night which is my #1 downfall. It all paid off. Today is travel so tomorrow the scale will be up again due to restaurant meal and lots of car sitting/driving but no worries. I will quickly turn it back around.
10/03-.…..187.0…..Well there is the uptick I expected. My goal today is to work it back down and not let it pull me in the wrong direction any further. Rain all day and thunderstorms expected too. Lots of workers will be here today again. No privacy until late tonight after 9:00 but I will try to go up & down my steps in the house, at the very least.
10/04-.…..187.2…..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
10/05-.…..186.8…..I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.

Perhaps my body is just compensating a little for the large recent drops. In any case, I am still down from this round’s start so I’ll not sweat it and just trust the process.
10/09-.…..184.0…..After the strange weight yesterday, this is the adjustment that is overdue. It was another good day. It rained all day so my exercise level was low. However, my diet was on point and I got to babysit my 3 yr old DGS. That is always a plus! And the bonus was lots of steps up and down the stairs chasing him. I honestly just can’t get enough of his face and his bright eyes!
10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad. Daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after trouble at home. She brought Chinese which we split and fit into my calorie allowance (at the time). I’m thinking sodium. I’ll have to really watch it today which will be difficult with others here. I’ll have to readjust things.

10/12-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.9)…..I had a talk with my daughter about that candy. She made a wonderful plan to GET IT OUT OF THE HOUSE. Good day yesterday all around. I wish the scale had reflected it. Travel today so I expect a bit of an uptick tomorrow. I always do better at home with more movement and less extravagance in my eating. I’m taking it in stride. It’s all part of the process.
10/13-.…..187.0…..(Trend Weight 187.8)…..Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all.

10/15-……185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.4)….. Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.
10/16-……185.8…..(Trend Weight 187.3)….. Not bad after travel. I’m hoping it’s finished with it’s final vote. I don’t see the possibility of my making goal this month unfortunately, but I do know I can make more progress. Going for it!

10/9 - 184.4 today of my birthday so there will be cake, actually wedding cake as I’m going to a wedding this morning.
10/10 - 185.4 - up a pound, but I think that will be ok once my body works through the sodium from the last two days. No worries.
10/11 - 184.8 - a little down from the up, hopefully I'll have purged all the salt by tomorrow and see a loss.
10/12 - 183.4 - the weekend bloat is gone and showing an actual loss now. Yay!!!
10/13 - 182.6 - Another drop, but I was way low on calories yesterday, but I'll take it. Yay!
10/14 - 181.8 - Tonight is date night so tomorrow will definitely be higher, but hopefully not too bad.
10/15 - 184.4 - Yep date night bumped me back up, but it isn't real weight so I won't fret.

10/16 - 224.5 Not a typo. Enjoyed a wonderful evening at the the Two Michelin star and voted #40 on the world’s best restaurants list, Suhring. I completed a 3.25 walk/run in the morning so maybe it kept me from being 225 😂. Back to the basics today!

Today is travel so tomorrow the scale will be up again due to restaurant meal and lots of car sitting/driving but no worries. I will quickly turn it back around.
10/03-.…..187.0 My body really seems to like that 187 range but I’m afraid that I’m going to be putting it in the rear view mirror for good. Sorry body! This is the after travel uptick I expected. With the rain and the handymen here today, movement will be difficult but my diet can stay on point. Going to use my stairs in my house for some extra calorie burn!
10/04-.…. 187.2…..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.

10/05-.…..186.8…..I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.
10/06-.…..184.6…..Body functions worked good yesterday (finally). Nice to see a drop on the scale and find out where I really am.
10/07-.…..184.8….. A normal fluctuation. All is well and yesterday was a good day. I am so happy to hanging around in the 184 range. Aiming for another good day today!
10/08-.…..185.6…..I have no idea in this world of ours why there was a gain. My macros were good, my calories were in the green, I had even more exercise than I logged. Nothing too salty to eat. Perhaps my body is just compensating a little for the large recent drops. In any case, I am still down from this round’s start so I’ll not sweat it and just trust the process.
10/09-.…..184.0…..Okay, there’s the adjustment over yesterday’s strange weigh-in. I am hoping to have another very good day today. Rain expected all day and a new handyman is here for the first time for a new phase of my projects. I’ll try using the stairs inside for some steps and movement.
10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad. Daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after trouble at home. She brought Chinese which we split and fit into my calorie allowance (at the time). I’m thinking sodium. I’ll have to really watch it today which will be difficult with others here. I’ll have to readjust things.
10/11-.…..185.6(Trend Weight 188.1)….. My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.
10/12-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.9)….. I was hoping to see a better result on the scale. Yesterday was an all-around good day. I talked to my daughter about that candy and she made a good plan to get it out of the house. I resisted it yesterday. Zero pieces. Travel today which will cause an uptick, but it least it won’t be candy I’ll be eating at the restaurant! . Clothes are looser again. I’m happy for the body recomposition.
10/13-.…..187.0…..(Trend Weight 187.8)….. Expected uptick from yesterday’s travel. Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all. I already feel drained. Today is not going to be a good day. That is clear. Poor little fella has been uprooted from his home and so I understand his frustration. But it doesn’t make it any easier, especially physically. It took two of us getting kicked in the face, just to get him standing to get his clothes on. I’m already reminding myself about every 3 minutes that I will not emotionally eat today or that I will not take the easy way out and eat something that doesn’t require a lot of planning due to exhaustion. That usually has more calories and carbs. Uptick on the scale is from travel yesterday. I’ve got to try to offset that today while figuring out how to deal with 4 different people and 4 different eating tastes and habits including my Autistic son and his white food. 7 workers expected throughout the day today, overlapping. Last one will leave about 9:30 pm. I’m not looking forward to this day. DGS sets the whole tone for all of us in the morning.
10/14-.…..xxxxx186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.6)…..Travel weight oozing back out. Happy to see it. Downward trend going well too. My daughter made pumpkin cheesecake for dessert tonight from scratch which is pretty cruel. I will have one piece and allow for it, but I will have to have her padlock me in at night as I stay up late and my bedroom is not far from the refrigerator for 2nds. Control……Not just now, ……for Life……
10/15-……185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.2)….. Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.

End Of Challenge Weight:
******************************
10/01-…...187.0 Well, there I am, off to a bad start. I had a full-on binge last night so this is not surprising. Today I will try to compensate as best I can but tomorrow may be a travel day. That means restaurant meal and less than normal movement. Ugg, why does it have to be such a rough road?
10/02-.…..185.0 I worked outside yesterday on painting and staining. Over 16,000 steps back & forth into the house. 6 flights of stairs and 2900 calorie burn overall for the day. That helped. I stuck to my guns and avoided over-snacking last night which is my #1 downfall. It all paid off. Today is travel so tomorrow the scale will be up again due to restaurant meal and lots of car sitting/driving but no worries. I will quickly turn it back around.
10/03-.…..187.0…..Well there is the uptick I expected. My goal today is to work it back down and not let it pull me in the wrong direction any further. Rain all day and thunderstorms expected too. Lots of workers will be here today again. No privacy until late tonight after 9:00 but I will try to go up & down my steps in the house, at the very least.
10/04-.…..187.2…..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.

10/09-.…..184.0…..After the strange weight yesterday, this is the adjustment that is overdue. It was another good day. It rained all day so my exercise level was low. However, my diet was on point and I got to babysit my 3 yr old DGS. That is always a plus! And the bonus was lots of steps up and down the stairs chasing him. I honestly just can’t get enough of his face and his bright eyes!
10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad.

10/12-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.9)…..I had a talk with my daughter about that candy. She made a wonderful plan to GET IT OUT OF THE HOUSE. Good day yesterday all around. I wish the scale had reflected it. Travel today so I expect a bit of an uptick tomorrow. I always do better at home with more movement and less extravagance in my eating. I’m taking it in stride. It’s all part of the process.
10/13-.…..187.0…..(Trend Weight 187.8)…..Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all.

10/14-.…..186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.6)….. I love love love all the posts since yesterday. So funny, so inspiring, so caring. Love all the pics too. Thanks everyone for the inspiration!
10/15-……185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.4)….. Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.
10/16-……185.8…..(Trend Weight 187.3)….. Not bad after travel. I’m hoping it’s finished with it’s final vote. I don’t see the possibility of my making goal this month unfortunately, but I do know I can make more progress. Going for it!
10/17-.…..186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.2)….. I am still upticking from the travel the other day, which I expected. No TMI x2 so that is not helping either. Yesterday was an all-around good day. Hoping to stick to my guns again today even with my daughter home all day eating, cooking, snacking and munching. No sir, no me!

10/9 - 184.4 today of my birthday so there will be cake, actually wedding cake as I’m going to a wedding this morning.
10/10 - 185.4 - up a pound, but I think that will be ok once my body works through the sodium from the last two days. No worries.
10/11 - 184.8 - a little down from the up, hopefully I'll have purged all the salt by tomorrow and see a loss.
10/12 - 183.4 - the weekend bloat is gone and showing an actual loss now. Yay!!!
10/13 - 182.6 - Another drop, but I was way low on calories yesterday, but I'll take it. Yay!
10/14 - 181.8 - Tonight is date night so tomorrow will definitely be higher, but hopefully not too bad.
10/15 - 184.4 - Yep date night bumped me back up, but it isn't real weight so I won't fret.
10/16 - 184.0 - little down from date night.
10/17 - DNW - yesterday was bad and I just couldn’t look today…
