Current Weight: 216.2 lb
October Weight lost so far: 5.8
October 1- 216.2
October 2- 215.4
October 3- 214.6- had a great weekend! Hoping I can keep the momentum going when I’m off for a week starting 10/11.
October 4- 214.2- it’s nice to see even with pizza and a few drinks I can still lose but with moderation and exercise of course!
October 5- 214.8- not sure how I gained since I was under in consumed calories and burned at least 800 in workouts. Hoping it’s just because of lack of sleep since I was up really late with my puking 3 year old 🤢
October 6- 213.8 - alright that’s better. I stayed with it yesterday vs getting frustrated and giving up
October 7- 213- I had a great day yesterday! Hoping I can carry that through the weekend
October 8 - 212.8 - happy I didn’t gain since I went out and indulged a bit too much but I worked out extra knowing that might happen earlier in the day
October 9- 212.6 another great day. Was hoping for more but probably a balance from the previous day.
October 10- 211.2 had a great day but today is going to be a rest/cheat day since it’s my birthday!
October 11- 210.8 I walked over 30k steps trying to compensate for my cheat day which seemed to have worked!
October 12- vacation
October 13- vacation
October 141 vacation
October 15- vacation
October 16- vacation
October 17- vacation
October 18- vacation
October 19- 213- back to the grind after indulging on food and drinks. Stayed active so it could’ve been way worse.
October 20- 211.6 - happy with that drop!
October 21- 210.4- another great day!

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 feel about that:/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's 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 incorporate HIIT at least 4x a week.
10/15 - 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 incorporate HIIT at least 4x a week.
10/16 - 227 The "weight gain" motivated me to hit the gym hard. Left with major glute pump, and decided to weigh in. End result was 130 after my workout so I'm blaming the new number on muscle gains
This is just the psychology that works for me right now. 
10/17 - 226.40
10/18 - 227.10 Broke out of my clean eating schedule to have caramel popcorn, wine, spiked cider, 6 piece nuggets, and small fry. I'm not upset with the scale or my decisions.
10/19 - 225-226.10 Usually I step on my scale three times just to get the best reading. Not sure why I don't have much faith in my scale lol. This time it teetered between 225 and 226. I'm being candid with you all but if anyone asks...I'm 225.
10/20 - 227.70 Not happy with the scale but my mother made a comment that my face looked smaller. I'll take that as a NSV.
10/21 - 227.70 I should have just ordered myself a cheesesteak yesterday!
I had to talk myself off the ledge to make wise eating decisions and came in under calories. I just do not understand why the scale isn't going down!!! Feeling a little negative nancy-ish. I'm probably just cranky from my lack of morning joe since I'm cutting back on coffee as well.

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.
10/16 - 184.0 - little down from date night.
10/17 - DNW - yesterday was bad and I just couldn’t look today…
10/18 - DNW, Sodium has been off the charts the past 2 days with a mini Thanksgiving meal this weekend. Ill weigh tomorrow, but I was already sad today and didn't need another downer... Happy Monday y'all!
10/19 - 184.4 - Sigh... I still feel bloated and gross. I think I still have some water weight to drop from the weekend, at least that is what I choose to believe...
10/20/21 - 182.2 - That's better. Still may not hit my October goal, but I'm still happy with my progress.
10/21/21 - 181.6 - Little by little...

12/31 goal: 175
10/1 - 186.6 got my motivation firmly in place, I will make progress by year-end. Aiming for 175 by 12/31. There - I said it, it's in writing, I have a plan, now I just need to execute my plan. My husband is working it with me, and we always do better when we pull together. TGIF!!
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.
10/7 - 185.6 Funeral service and lunch today, will make the best choices I can since I'm not in control of the food options.
10/8 - 186.6
10/9 - 185.2 Today's plan is work - meal plan - walk.
10/10 - 184.8 plan for today is grocery - meal prep - walk - laundry - work
10/11 - 186.0 no idea why, walked 5 miles yesterday. Today is work and a trip to the Y, it's been too long.
10/12 - 186.6 ??
10/13 - 187.8 ??
10/14 - 186.6
10/15 - 186.6 not exactly where I want to maintain...heading out for a weekend anniversary get-away with my husband after work today. Goals: maintain, smart food choices, lots of activity including stairs at the hotel, one indulgence tomorrow for our anniversary. Will be back Monday to report in!
10/16 - 28th anniversary!
10/18 - 190.0 Well, honestly not as bad as I expected. Friday my husband and I took off for an anniversary weekend. 4 hours from home, had a tire issue. Got it to the side of the highway and discovered one lugnut missing and 3 others had snapped off. 1 lugnut was holding the tire on. Waited for a tow truck, got towed to AutoZone (no mechanics in that little town). Went to a hotel for the night (not the hotel I had already paid for). Gee, sorry, it's homecoming weekend at Indiana University, we have just one room left (at Super 8) and it's $220 for the night. Um, you do realize this is Super 8, right? Well, it's homecoming...So we paid $220 for a room I wouldn't have stayed in (but it was clean...I checked...). The next morning my husband gets the lug nuts fixed (had to not only go to AutoZone but also another auto parts store to get everything) and we take off again. Made it to our destination, original hotel wouldn't refund night 1 because of the infamous IU homecoming, so we paid for 2 rooms for Friday night. Overall it was a great weekend, we had fun, it just in no way started off well. But we weren't hurt like we would have been if we had been speeding down a highway, so thanking God for that. Needless to say, food choices weren't good at that point. Back on track today with food and exercise, all is good and right in my world today.
10/19 - 189.2 was hoping more would flush out but that's ok. On I go.
10/20 - 187.0 almost back to my beginning of Oct weight. Got the dogs out for a walk yesterday, beautiful day.
10/21 - 187.6 my lack of meal planning since I was gone over the weekend is showing on the scale.

**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Starting Weight (from Sept 30th): 186.2
Goal: 181.2 (Five lb Loss)
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.
10/05-.…..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…..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.
10/11-.…..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 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. 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-.…..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!
10/18-.…..185.2…..(Trend Weight 187.0)….. That’s better. I had another good day yesterday with dietary goals though the exercise is still slacking with the lack of privacy in my home. I can’t wait for this particular renovation to be done! Today is pre-op testing at my doctors which is about 11 miles from home so no restaurants are necessary. Deep nasal covid test (oh joy!), EKG, A1C and the blessings check-up for the surgery Friday at the University Hospital. I will be gone from Thursday until Saturday night so I may not post. I am dreading the deep nasal test today.
10/19-.…..186.6…..(Trend Weight 186.9)….. Too many snacks yesterday. Several people stopped by bearing food (sweet) gifts giving support to upcoming surgery. I thought I had it under control, it really feels like I did. However, due to the time constraints, I didn’t log the last few days. Apparently I ate more than I thought. A total lack of exercise too. I will try to do better today but I think I may be nervous eating as well.
10/20-.…..185.0…..(Trend Weight 186.8)….. A much better day of eating but no sleep last night. Too many thoughts rolling around in my head. I hate when I can’t control that. I hope today will be okay with my severe lack of sleep. I’m going to try to push more water today and get outside a bit when it’s not raining. However, I leave tomorrow morning for my surgical trip so there will be packing and such.
10/21-.…..185.2…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)….. A good day yesterday but a bit too much bread with the apple bread I had for a snack with black coffee. I am leaving today for my surgery in the morning. Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes, the prayers and the good vibes. I will check in when I can. Keep going everyone!

@Splendamami I feel your pain! I wasn't seeing results and fell off the wagon just because I was so frustrated. Now I must refocus and get back on track. You got it, keep working! We will get there.3

UGW: 175
Oct SW: 220.3
Oct GW: 215
10/1 - 220.3 Ready for a great month. Positive vibes!
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.
10/3 - 220.8 Expected. Back to tracking my calories and carbs today!
10/4 - 221.1 Fun with friends so wasn’t surprised.
10/5 - 220.1 👍🏽
10/6 - 220.8
10/7 - 221.1
10/8 - 221.1 3.25 mile walk completed today
10/9 - 220.1
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!
10/16 - 224.6
10/17 - 222.9
10/18 - 224.2
10/19 - 223.3 I’ve been walk/jog the past few days and definitely cut back on snacking. My body has been sore since I’ve started jogging more. I’ve also recently stopped taking my BP meds so I that could also cause some water retention. Even though I know I won’t hit my October goal, I will focus on being lower than I started.
10/20 - 224.4 Too sedentary yesterday and not enough sleep.
10/21 - 226.6 Whew, I need to make some changes. Hurt my toe so I wasn’t able to get in any exercise. Time to refocus, already planned my meals for today. I snacked all day long yesterday so I can only blame myself. I must get back on track!8 -

Day of reckoning … What’s the damage?
10/18 - 207.6 /207.5
Up 3.9 pounds since I left. Lots of walking & hiking 43+ miles for exercise however the opposite of activity was driving 2900 miles … so lots of sitting. Then the rest obviously is revealed in the scale … eating at restaurants 16 days for breakfast lunch & dinner, snacking daily on M&Ms, not enough water, too much alcohol. I’m not surprised. If I had just ordered better and not given into biscuits, fries, etc it would have been much better. But it is what it is. Now to focus and tackle the gain before it gets comfortable.

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.
10/16 - 184.0 - little down from date night.
10/17 - DNW - yesterday was bad and I just couldn’t look today…
10/18 - DNW, Sodium has been off the charts the past 2 days with a mini Thanksgiving meal this weekend. Ill weigh tomorrow, but I was already sad today and didn't need another downer... Happy Monday y'all!
10/19 - 184.4 - Sigh... I still feel bloated and gross. I think I still have some water weight to drop from the weekend, at least that is what I choose to believe...
10/20/21 - 182.2 - That's better. Still may not hit my October goal, but I'm still happy with my progress.
10/21/21 - 181.6 - Little by little...
10/22/21 - 182.2 -Last night was date night so I expected a little bump, this is very workable.

12/31 goal: 175
10/1 - 186.6 got my motivation firmly in place, I will make progress by year-end. Aiming for 175 by 12/31. There - I said it, it's in writing, I have a plan, now I just need to execute my plan. My husband is working it with me, and we always do better when we pull together. TGIF!!
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.
10/7 - 185.6 Funeral service and lunch today, will make the best choices I can since I'm not in control of the food options.
10/8 - 186.6
10/9 - 185.2 Today's plan is work - meal plan - walk.
10/10 - 184.8 plan for today is grocery - meal prep - walk - laundry - work
10/11 - 186.0 no idea why, walked 5 miles yesterday. Today is work and a trip to the Y, it's been too long.
10/12 - 186.6 ??
10/13 - 187.8 ??
10/14 - 186.6
10/15 - 186.6 not exactly where I want to maintain...heading out for a weekend anniversary get-away with my husband after work today. Goals: maintain, smart food choices, lots of activity including stairs at the hotel, one indulgence tomorrow for our anniversary. Will be back Monday to report in!
10/16 - 28th anniversary!
10/18 - 190.0 Well, honestly not as bad as I expected. Friday my husband and I took off for an anniversary weekend. 4 hours from home, had a tire issue. Got it to the side of the highway and discovered one lugnut missing and 3 others had snapped off. 1 lugnut was holding the tire on. Waited for a tow truck, got towed to AutoZone (no mechanics in that little town). Went to a hotel for the night (not the hotel I had already paid for). Gee, sorry, it's homecoming weekend at Indiana University, we have just one room left (at Super 8) and it's $220 for the night. Um, you do realize this is Super 8, right? Well, it's homecoming...So we paid $220 for a room I wouldn't have stayed in (but it was clean...I checked...). The next morning my husband gets the lug nuts fixed (had to not only go to AutoZone but also another auto parts store to get everything) and we take off again. Made it to our destination, original hotel wouldn't refund night 1 because of the infamous IU homecoming, so we paid for 2 rooms for Friday night. Overall it was a great weekend, we had fun, it just in no way started off well. But we weren't hurt like we would have been if we had been speeding down a highway, so thanking God for that. Needless to say, food choices weren't good at that point. Back on track today with food and exercise, all is good and right in my world today.
10/19 - 189.2 was hoping more would flush out but that's ok. On I go.
10/20 - 187.0 almost back to my beginning of Oct weight. Got the dogs out for a walk yesterday, beautiful day.
10/21 - 187.6 my lack of meal planning since I was gone over the weekend is showing on the scale.

Current Weight: 216.2 lb
October Weight lost so far: 7.4
October 1- 216.2
October 2- 215.4
October 3- 214.6- had a great weekend! Hoping I can keep the momentum going when I’m off for a week starting 10/11.
October 4- 214.2- it’s nice to see even with pizza and a few drinks I can still lose but with moderation and exercise of course!
October 5- 214.8- not sure how I gained since I was under in consumed calories and burned at least 800 in workouts. Hoping it’s just because of lack of sleep since I was up really late with my puking 3 year old 🤢
October 6- 213.8 - alright that’s better. I stayed with it yesterday vs getting frustrated and giving up
October 7- 213- I had a great day yesterday! Hoping I can carry that through the weekend
October 8 - 212.8 - happy I didn’t gain since I went out and indulged a bit too much but I worked out extra knowing that might happen earlier in the day
October 9- 212.6 another great day. Was hoping for more but probably a balance from the previous day.
October 10- 211.2 had a great day but today is going to be a rest/cheat day since it’s my birthday!
October 11- 210.8 I walked over 30k steps trying to compensate for my cheat day which seemed to have worked!
October 12- vacation
October 13- vacation
October 141 vacation
October 15- vacation
October 16- vacation
October 17- vacation
October 18- vacation
October 19- 213- back to the grind after indulging on food and drinks. Stayed active so it could’ve been way worse.
October 20- 211.6 - happy with that drop!
October 21- 210.4- another great day!
October 22- 208.8- I’m shocked but hoping it sticks for the weekend. I have a Halloween campout with my kiddos.
