**********************************************
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.
10/26 147.4 (trend 148.7) Glad to see things settling back down. I had bad cramps and bloating again yesterday, think it was hormonal this time as I was really anxious and crabby too. Calendar says ovulation so probably that. Had very little appetite most of the day then got carried away with the oatcakes, pickles and cream cheese in the evening. Will I hit my goal this round? Maybe?
10/27 148.6 (trend 148.7) Annoyingly stuck around 148 for the last 2 weeks. My weighing and logging have got a bit lax but still I'm averaging 1149 per day for the last week and less the week before. Haven't been able to exercise as all my energy is going into the reno and keeping the house running. Got guests coming this weekend then I'll be painting all next week I think. Maybe I just have to accept 0.5 pounds loss a week from here on in. Sigh.

22 72.9 The last few days have been a bit rough. Lot of stress with an international move and then I got sick. I haven't really tracked or eaten on plan, but today is a new day. I refuse to let my hard work over the last 2 weeks go to waste. I know that I will have bad days (and sometimes maybe more than a few days) but that does not mean I have failed. So today, I am picking myself back up and getting right back into my healthy eating style. I will not fail at this this time!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
10/19 207.3 Walked 4 miles, menu planned, grocery shopped, ready to get things back on track! 1588 cal, 116 net carbs, AF.
10/20 206.2 Walked .5 + 3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 1532 cal, 52 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
10/21 207.1 Walked 2.5 + 2, gardening, 1563 cal, 116 net carbs, AF. The quesadillas and pizza were not the best decisions for meals. But while I ate pizza at book club I did not drink! The drive home requires my attention on the interstate in the dark.
10/22 206.8 Walked 1 mile, Strength Training 1 hr, 2105 cal, 102 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
10/23 206.1 Walked 3.2 miles, gardening, 1894 cal, 74 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
10/24 206.8 Walked 3 miles, 1784 cal, 83 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
10/25 205.9 Walked 4 miles, Bike 20 min, 1808 cal, 110 net carbs, AF.
10/26 207.0 Walked 4.75 miles, 2190 cal, 129 net carbs, Torchy’s Tini. Weight up due to snacks not meals. Went to Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo plus John Waite concert last night. They still have great voices! Really enjoyed John Waite’s opener as he sang a wide variety of songs.
10/27 208.9 🎂 Too much celebrating this week. 61 Bday bring it on! Sounds like I’m going to have 2 grand babies … end of Dec 2021 and then mid June 2022. Walked 3.3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr (this class is wearing me out I’m useless after returning home for hours on end!), 2282 cal, 249 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Our dog ate the steak and then Plan B: Pizza did me in on carbs & calories! GO ASTROS!

10/27 - 147.8 - All I can think of is sodium. Between the salty dinner last night and all the soups we've been eating, I imagine that's high. I'm having that heavy bloated feeling so it makes sense there, too. Need to take pup on another walk as soon as things dry up a tad from storms last night. Not sure what's on the menu today. Leftover chicken noodle soup if BF doesn't eat it (he needs it more than I do) otherwise I'll do my best to find something balanced. Water has been good, but meeting my goal with herbal teas to help avoid this cold. So far, I'm feeling fine, hopefully it stays that way. Need to refocus on my health again immediately! I keep thinking of my fasting glucose and I want to be a little lower in the normal range -- losing this weight and watching my carbs needs to be priority right now. It'll force me to eat healthier which will help my immunity anyway. I'm determined
10/28
Previous Day's Comments10/19 - Bit of an uptick from a hectic evening stuffing my face so I could jump in the shower and get to bed in a timely manner. BF should be home about the same time as me tonight. I have dinner stuff made up, not sure if he'll eat it or not. We shall see. Wasn't overly hungry yesterday at lunch so only ate half. Dinner wasn't super large, either. Today I'll skip the breakfast burrito if they bring them, but I had to try yesterday since they said they were good. Water is good. Could've drank more yesterday but I was definitely running around a bit more unexpectedly. Lots of steps in, though! Today will likely be more of the same, steps wise. Will be sure to keep more water handy
10/20 - Shocked to be down. BF made it home safe last night. He didn't want my salmon so he made venison tenderloin with rice and steamed veggies (bringing salmon for lunch instead). Didn't eat until 8pm and I didn't go to bed until 9. Short night of sleep for me, but good to spend some time with him after 2 weeks. Apparently I'm in trouble with his dad because I couldn't make it up there. Unfortunately with outage work and us not being legally married, I don't get bereavement for his family and I couldn't take vacation time. I think he understood, but he hasn't met me and I think he's afraid he won't get to. BF doesn't have PTO left for this year so I think we may make a trip next year? We shall see. Another day of walking yesterday, though not as many steps since we did most of the work Monday (11000 vs 14000). Today we have to monitor contractors doing work and have 2 little tasks at hand to get done. Other than that, not much. Going to be a long 2 days for me since even the smallest tasks I'm not authorized to assist with (shadowing electricians... I'd rather not be accidentally shocked anyway). Days are longer when you're not doing much to pass time. Oh well. Keeping up with water well enough, which is good and keeps me making walking trips to the office haha!
10/21 - This is a false weight. Just as I came in to eat lunch, I was notified of another death in the family. BF's ex-FIL passed yesterday morning. It was a gut punch and I immediately lost my appetite and didn't eat anything. Had a nice filling dinner of homemade shrimp and crawfish etouffee made by Fam who came to say hello to us for a few minutes, though. Slept like a rock last night, I guess I was more tired than I thought because I fell asleep so quickly and didn't really move. I know I woke up a few times to roll over and deal with the dog stealing blankets, but I don't remember it like I normally would. Hopefully they're ready today to finish up outage, otherwise electricians have no more work and it'll be a long boring day. At least it's my Friday
10/22 - Little tick up as I ate more yesterday and dinner had some sodium. Over my minimum calorie goal by 200, but according to fitbit, I definitely was under maintenance by 1,000. Talked with doc about my meds and TOM coming for frequent long visits -- I think this week my body settled a bit more into it so we are giving a tad more time to see if I backtrack - if so, she'll adjust. If not, I'll continue on, nothing seems to be impacting me negatively. Yay! Not much else going on. Will take some time to catch up on everyone later!
10/23 - DNP
10/24 - Didn't weight yesterday because I had just chugged some water before I got the chance to weigh in. Today's uptick is brought to you by working at the land building a deer stand. It was fun, but it was definitely a struggle to keep up with water. Got a lot of steps in, though! Today should be a lazy football day. Early to bed since I have to commute again this week. Will focus on my water and better foods. Trying to fast as long as I can as well.
10/25 - 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!
10/26 - Slow and steady, if I can keep that up these next two mornings, I'll be at or lower than last round's end weight. I'm okay with that. Drove to work yesterday only to realize outage was cancelled and had to drive home since I left my computer here... guess I'm WFH the remainder of the week. BF sick (not COVID) so I'm glad I'm not at work. I don't want to share germs, covid or not. Doing everything in my power to boost immunity, avoid him, and keep house cleaned and sanitized in hopes I can skip out on being sick. Stopped at store on way home to stock up on sick items. Even had homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner (with leftovers today for us). Will try to take pup for a walk to get some good fresh air for myself later on today as well. I need to walk anyway (:

¤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.

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

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Even though I am 1.6 lower than yesterday, my 10-day rolling average went up 0.1. That is because I just dropped a 205.6 off the front end of my rolling 10-day range. I need to sprinkle more low numbers in my 10-day mixes. I would like to break the 205 barrier this round. Out to lunch with an old friend today. Maybe I can remember to make a good choice or three.

Happy hump day everyone!

This is goofy. But I will take it and run.
Looking forward to the day when this is on the upper end of my range, but considering the season, I will be happy to revolve around this reading for the next couple months. So many celebrations ahead! Because the way I was raised plus what was spliced into my DNA somehow, celebration means food. I need to work on that don’t I?
10/22: DNW
Due to yesterday’s abject failure and the simple fact that I am still carrying around what I ate the day before yesterday… nuff said.
Today will be better.

Alright, that’s enough stinkin thinkin. 😊

Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: 224.7 - Down is down right? I've been feeling like my loss has been slowing down, and it has, but I'm still on about a 12 lbs per month pace since the beginning. It's just that the past month has been about 10 lbs so it seems a lot slower. Anyway, my cardio is getting to be better than ever which is honestly all I wanted. 8 months ago I was on supplemental O2 24/7 after COVID pneumonia, so to now say my cardio is better than when I was a high school athlete really makes me appreciate the work I've put in. Long blurb but just a thought I had this morning.
10/20: 224.7 - Hey not up is good! I gotta stop hitting the snooze button in the morning. It takes away precious workout minutes. I want to workout at least 15-20 minutes longer than the 30 minute ride I do.
10/21: 224.0 - The scale I usually use said 222.2 but I don't trust a 2.5 lbs swing when the secondary scale says a .7 lbs swing. If it's that low tomorrow, I'll go with that. Didn't do 45-50 minutes on the bike as planned, but did 40 and my legs are dead. Stretching all day so I can go again tomorrow. I wanted to be under 224 by 10/25 4 days to get there!
10/22: 221.6 - Alright both scales were in agreement with this so I'll absolutely take it! I'm keeping the pace I wanted to be under 200 by Christmas!
10/23: 220.5
10/24: 220.0 - I rarely post on weekends but this was something to get excited about! So close to 80 lbs down. So close to being in the teens. This week is going to be exciting (hopefully). Work hard and push through plateaus and you are rewarded big on the other side! Going to see Hamilton tonight and wearing some new, smaller dress clothes. So excited!
10/25: 220.0 - I'm guessing that the scale didn't reset this morning, the other scale said 221.2 and I didn't work out this morning so I definitely expect to be higher but I'll probably work out tonight. Motivation to get to the teens.
10/26: 222.7 - OOF a bit of a bump here. Some would say the cheesesteak, fries, boneless wings and not working out yesterday is responsible. Eating good today and drinking tons of water to help flush the system. Set a new PR on the Peloton for a 20 minute ride so that felt good at least. And like I said, I wanted to be below 224 by yesterday and even with this bump, I am. Next goal is under 212 by Thanksgiving.
10/27: 222.7 - Same as yesterday. Likely not going to be below 222 but that's okay. I know I'm working hard and I now fit in Large shirts so progress is being made!

I ate a bit too much yesterday, but all healthy food, so I won’t cry about it.
10/21 - 179.8
Back on track, weight and average merged again. It’s a beautiful fall morning, so I’m off for a long walk with the pup.
10/22 - 179.6
Happy Friday, everyone!
10/23 - 179.5
I had a bit of a snack fest last night, but am still trending down. Aiming to do better today!
10/24 - 179.4
Little by little by little—that’s the way we win the game! Off for a walk, hoping to beat the rain that’s supposed to settle in for a couple of days.
10/25 - 179.5
Rain rain rain. Off to look at flooring — we’re finally going to get rid of the crappy old carpet that came with the house. Whee!
10/26 - 179.5
Whew, what a couple of days. We found our flooring, and our installer can start today so last night was a mad dash to empty bookcases — I have books stacked all over the bedroom — and then I took Rory pup to his scent work class, then this mornin* I cleared the dining room hutch and other spots, and now I’m off with Rory to his sub-novice class while DH empties half the aquarium to move it. But it will be worth it to get that ugly old inherited carpet out, out, out!
10/27 - 179.6
Crazy eating yesterday with the house torn up, but the new floor (where it’s in) looks great! I’ll try to do better today, but who knows?

10/19: -182.0 had a work lunch but ate too much then felt guilty the rest of the day. Didn’t bike a lot either just a short 11K commute. Oh well. First time in a month I’m so off and unorganized with food.
10/20: -183.0 was so tired yesterday:( went for a short ride and had to turn around. Also the wind was strong and cold. Food choices weren’t good either. Hope for a better day today.
10/21: - 183.0 great day! 40 K ride with a friend. It was nice.
10/22: -182.8 did a 25k commute ride to the my doctor’s Office. And food was almost under control… had some chips in the evening and felt a bit guilty.
10/23: - 181.6 had the flu shot and been napping all day. Didn’t feel well. But managed to cook enough for two weeks.
10/24: - 181.4 feeling better today.
10/25: - 181.0 Nice to see the numbers coming down🙂
10/26: - 181.2 i feel I’m continuously hungry… but I’m eating within my calories. But I’m not extremely accurate with tracking. So that might be it.

10/22 207.2 I'm glad to be out of the teens and solidly in the 200 + single digits. Down a smidgen over 70 pounds. I don't mind plateaus. I feel good swimming laps, doing tai chi & chair yoga, even though I'm famished after time in the water.
10/23 206.2 weight fluctuates. I'm happy to have lost since I had a headache & backache followed by two peanut butter & honey sandwiches (totally off my plan) last night.
This is a very interesting journey with surprises along the way!
10/24 205 Go figure...a friend stopped by unexpectedly with a box of cinnamon rolls yesterday afternoon, I had three as I had coffee & we chatted. And I lost weight this morning?
10/25 206.2 swam for an hour, overate, popcorn, energy bars, Babe Ruth bar, 2 extra bananas. Dang swimming makes me way more hungry than any other exercise! Hope tomorrow's weight isn't outrageous.
10/26 206.2 Whew - I must have just eaten to my calorie expenditure yesterday. So happy to not have gained. I feel strong, enjoy the effects of exercise endorphins, and love walking in these woods. Sunrise was full of brilliant colors this morning.
20/27 207.8 Salty blue corn tortilla chips & way too much hummus as I was stress eating & packing up to depart these northern lands. Bac to where I began this round. At least I'm maintaining & can later release this weight.

I need some accountability as I fell off the wagon.
I had an UGW 150, but it didn't really feel sustainable once I was there. I was always hungry.
I think150-155 is more reasonable, but I need to get back there and stay there. More water!

RGW: 159.5 (-1.7 pounds) - which would take me out of the “overweight” BMI to “healthy” BMI
Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: 159.0 - What? Was this a magical whoosh? Yesterday’s weight was disappointing and could be chalked up to several high-sodium meals in a row. I guess being back home, drinking a normal amount of water and eating our usual foods helped flush things out. I’m sure there will be an uptick tomorrow, but I’ll enjoy being at a so called “healthy” BMI for the day.
10/20: 158.7 - Surprised and pleased, but I’ll take it. I’ve upped my move goals on my Apple Watch a tiny bit from 550 calories to 600 calories this week as well as played around with my macros yesterday (C-50%, P-30%, F-20%) and started tracking my potassium in addition to sodium. I’m not sure I’ll hit my macros as I was having enough trouble getting to the protein % when it was lower. For right now, I’ll use it more to guide than to stress out about.
10/21: 159.4 - Yesterday was another day of 4 hrs in the car. Did my workout in the morning. In logging my food, my eyes were opened as to how high in sodium shrimp is even before adding any spices or marinades.
10/22: 158.7 - Hubby’s birthday yesterday so planned for the chocolate cake and red wine. Stayed within calories but macros definitely skewed fat and carbs.
10/23: 159.2 - Went out to dinner last night for the official celebration of hubby’s b-day. Delicious tapas, but I’m still thirsty from the sodium. I was a bit overwhelmed with the thought of trying to estimate the calories of the variety of small plates that we ordered and portions, etc. that I just did a quick add of 1000 calories. First time I’ve done that - it feels a little like cheating. Did a late workout before getting ready to go out to make sure there would at least be some calorie room for whatever was to come.
10/24: 159.0 - Slow and steady. Back to where I was at the beginning of the round.
10/25: 159.0 - Same ‘ol, same ‘ol.
10/26: 158.5 - Great workout, salad for lunch and homemade pizza for dinner.
10/27: 157.0 - Another magical whoosh. Once again, lesson learned to be consistent about calories and exercise daily and do not be discouraged by minor vagaries of the scale.

SW: 206.0
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!
10/26 206.8 It seems I’ve hit the PMS plus, so hopefully that means I’m about through the stall. Had a good day yesterday- 56 net carbs and step goal achieved. I just got a new book too- The New Rules of Lifting for Women. I can’t wait to put it to work!
10/27 207.0 Looks like this round is going to be a bust, unless I get a nice surprise tomorrow. It is what it is, I’m learning to accept how my body works-namely the cyclical stall every few weeks- rather than let it bother me or cause more frustration than needed. I’m still mildly frustrated though, I won’t lie. 58net carbs yesterday and a Pelo ride, leaves me feeling really good this morning. The New Rules book has me considering upping my protein by a substantial amount, which means I’d probably use more protein shakes. I am curious how it would affect me overall. I’m not even halfway through the book yet though, despite every attempt to plow through it as fast as humanly possible to I can get to work implementing it!

10/19 - 218 (-.6) I changed my starting weight to what I weighed when I started this journey, a month before I started logging everything on MFP and, I decided to reduce my goal weight to one more in line with exactly where I’d love to be . When I first started, I didn’t really believe I could do this. I’m starting to believe and am almost halfway there.
10/20 - 218.4 (-.2) Yesterday I swam 1350 yards. It took a bit longer than my usual hour workout, but I felt good so I kept going. My longest swim yet. Today is no organized exercise, just a busy day. I need to get back into my art studio and get painting. Hopefully I’ll have some time tonight.
10/21 - 217.6 (-1.0) A good day yesterday staying within calories goals. I didn’t drink enough water, so I need to do better. Hoping to swim today if I can fit it in between scheduled meetings.
10/22 - 218.0 (-.6) Bouncing around a little. Swimming was great. I usually eat back about half of my calories. Yesterday, it was most of them. I didn’t get all my water in for the second day in a row. Today is my indulgence meal so there may be a bigger bounce over the next few days. It always drops off fairly quickly.
10/23 - 220.2 (+1.6) Oops! I had pizza for my indulgence meal and I’m guessing this bump is from all the salt. But, no worries, it will drop in the next few days and I’ll be back on track. I eat one indulgence meal a week and it’s really helped me. I know I only have to wait a few days to eat something I might be craving so it’s easier to stay on plan. Luckily I have five days left in this challenge.
10/24 - 219.2 (+.6) While I know this bouncing is part of the journey, it scares me every time. At least I’m a bit closer to getting off this water weight. Hiking today with my sister and dogs. Brrr! It’s going to be cold when we start.
10/25 - 218 (-.6) Our hike yesterday was chilly, but we did 3 miles. The weight is coming back down. What a relief. I’ll focus on water and eating under my calorie level today. No organized exercise on my busy schedule.
10/26 - 217.2 (-1.4) Phew! I won’t meet my goal this round, but I’m happy to be heading downward once again. Drank all my water yesterday and stayed under calories. Swimming is on the schedule today.
10/27 - 217.4 (-1.2) Swimming was great. I swam 1300 yards in an hour. I love that I’m getting faster a few seconds at a time. A little disappointed in my weigh in this morning. I was really hoping to be in the 216’s. Hopefully, one of those whooshes will be coming soon. I think I need to pay attention to logging as accurately as possible, so I can decide if I need to make any other changes. I’m still down this round and that’s definitely something to celebrate.
