**********************************************

10/19 148.4 (trend 149.9) I hit last round's goal weight today so I'm pleased about that, also got my trend weight below 150 so have changed my UGW trend to my healthy weight BMI, it seems like such a long way off but it's only 7.2lbs away, totally doable!
I had a terrible night's sleep, anxiety and knowing I have a busy day ahead today working with my plumber and electrician kept me awake until 5am, then my alarm went off at 6.30... don't know how I'm gonna get through today without lots of sugar but I'll do my best!
Goal weight for this round is 10.5St (147lbs) which is the weight I was when I met my husband 9.5 years ago.

10/20 148.4 (trend 149.7) Feeling much brighter today after a good sleep. I need to really focus on drinking more water and getting more nutrients as I've been relying too much on snacky foods like deli meats, crackers and cheese and not having enough vitamins, and I've been drinking too much coffee. Need to R&R, rest and rehydrate, rather than depending on stimulants and fatty salty food to keep my energy up.150 cals over yesterday but it was a long busy day.

10/21 147.4 (trend 149.4) Excited to see 147 with a 1lb drop over night, it feels like I've been very slowly creeping down for ages so to get a big drop is great. I hope it sticks! Also my BMI is 25.8 so I'm in close range of a healthy weight, not too far now! Still my trend weight has to catch up, so I'm not getting complacent. Had a huge chicken salad last night, first time I've had any proper volume in my stomach for several days, felt good!

10/22 147.2 (trend 149.1) I didn't deserve this loss today as I went out last night and had beers, cheesy chips and a big cookie, hopefully it doesn't catch me up tomorrow! Not a very healthy day but I'm not going to dwell on it.

10/23 149.4 (trend 149.2) Yikes! I ate a lot yesterday, all sensible choices but at maintenance calories. Had indigestion all night and still feeling bloated today so I'm not really surprised at this. Going to water fast for most of the day to try and flush this through.

10/24 148.2 (trend 149.0) Still a bit bloated but glad to see this dropping back down quickly. Excited that my trend weight is coming down and I'm leaving 150lbs in the distance! Fasted until about 5pm then had chicken salad and a cereal bar. Spent most of the day paint stripping which was weirdly satisfying and kept me active. Today I need to seal the walls and ceiling with a pva glue solution ready for the plasterers to come and do their magic, can't wait!

10/25 148.6 (trend 148.9) I'm a bit bummed that I didn't lose today, I ate within my cals yesterday, got plenty of fluids, went for a 4 mile brisk walk and spent the rest of the day on my feet working on my kitchen reno. I must be retaining something as my average daily cals for the last week are 1000ish. It really does get harder the closer you get to goal but I still have about 20lbs to go and at this rate it's going to take me about 8 months to get there. Getting my follow up blood test for my thyroid in a week as it was moderately underactive 2 months ago, I've been losing a LOT of hair recently not sure if this is because of low calories or the thyroid.

10/25 - 147.0 - Shocked to be down with a nice heavy steak dinner last night. Only got about 60 oz water so behind on that, too. Being slightly down on an early weigh in, after a weekend, as me surprised. I'll take it! This week I'm not sure I'll get too many steps. Hopefully I can find excuses to get up and move, though. I will be having nightly dinner leftovers for lunch this week, but we have a few good ones planned out. Also bought some extra steamable veggies I can pop in the microwave for a few minutes while prepping other things to supplement lunch. Today I'll have balsamic parmesan baked zucchini, roasted sweet potato, and steak. Yum! Also need to keep an eye on carbs since my fasting glucose is a tad higher in the normal range than Doc and I like, so I'll be doing my best to eat healthier in that regard. If y'all have advice, send it! I don't want to miss out on my veggies, but I need to cut down (not eliminate) the other carb-heavy stuff I typically eat like breads and such. I know I eat too much of it, I need to learn to portion that part of my life haha!

Simply not paying enough attention leads to this yoyo and a +210 reading on a Monday morning. This has me really psyched up to face another rainy day.

Alright, that’s enough stinkin thinkin. 😊

10/19: 205.6 Had a good day yesterday. 67 net carbs, step goal achieved, and strength training done. Also had my follow up doctor visit yesterday and she was quite impressed! 33lbs down since 8/16/21 according to her scale. Woohoo!
10/20 206.4 Disappointed? A little. Surprised? Not really. I was baking my daughter’s birthday cake yesterday, and making all of the candies I’m putting on top of it, so I was in the kitchen a long time. 58 net carbs though, step goal achieved, and Pelo ride done. On to today!
10/21 206.8 Had another great day yesterday. 61 net carbs, step goal hit, and some strength training done. Why the uptick again? Hormones is the most likely culprit. Being a female is so fun! 🤣
10/22. 205.4 Well yesterday took a turn. We unexpectedly had to put our 3 year old cat down. She ate a thread that got all tangled in her intestines and the vet said there wasn’t really much that could be done to save her. The kids are devastated, and I’m taking it harder than I expected too. She was such a good kitty. We got the call in the middle of dinner, then went to say good bye. I decided to jump on the Pelo once we got back to pedal out some tears. 78 net carbs, but step goal not hit because of poor River Song. 💔
10/23 🏕 DNW 48 net carbs yesterday. Hit well over my step goal too. Overall a great day and wonderful first night camping.
10/24 🏕 DNW 91 net carbs- it was DDs birthday and I had baked a “150 hour chocolate cake” for her that I had to try a small slice of. It was worth the extra carbs! Fell short by just under 1,000 on my step goal, but I’m learning if I stress out and try to make up the shortage too close to bedtime that it always seems to backfire on me. So it is what it is. I still cleared over 10,500. On to this fresh and new week!
10/25 205.4 69 net carbs yesterday, step goal not quite completed. And then, monthly hormonal shift in full effect too. Oh well. It is what it is. I’m just going to keep putting my nose to the grindstone and putting in the work. This will be over soon!

¤Looking back on my weight loss history, I cycled from 196lbs to 199lbs for about 6 rounds, even touching 200lbs again before dropping to the 180's.
{Day/Weight/Comment}

▪Day1▪︎ Tu•10/19- ¤195.8 (Mo•10/18- 1pm, 7pm;15hrs) 40g carbs; Fiber•10g; 80ozs water.
Up a little from end weight. I'm happy to see this number on the 1st day of this round. It is proven in my weight loss history, that I touch every tenth of a pound before dropping a full one pound of weight and settling there. This is the last one for 195. Even if I revisit any of the tenths this round, I know I'm close to seeing 194 soon. I've already touched 194.8 last round. Point 6, 4 and 2 here I come😀

▪Day2▪︎ We•10/20- ¤196 (Tu•10/19- 1pm, 7pm, 9pm; 18hrs) 46g carbs; Fiber•8g; 80ozs water.

▪Day3▪︎ Th•10/21- ¤196.8 (We•10/20- 1pm, 6:30pm, 8:30pm; 16hrs) 43g carbs; Fiber•24g; 64ozs water. Just me adjusting to fluctuating weather temperatures. Eating a little more and drinking water too late in the day.

▪Day4▪︎ Fr•10/22- ¤197.8 (Th•10/21- 11am, 4pm, 7:30pm, 9pm; 15hrs) 50g carbs; Fiber•12g; 64ozs water.

▪Day6▪︎ Su•10/24- ¤198 (Sa•10/23- 1:30pm, 3:30pm, 8pm, 11pm; hrs) 78g carbs; Fiber•g; 80ozs water.
