5/1 - 197.8 setting a rather ambitious goal for this month as I haven't managed an actual loss in many months. But weather is improving so I'll be outside and moving more, and I typically do lose well during the summer.
5/2 - 197.6 not a great weekend as far as food choices, but just a slight uptick from the end of April so I'm ok with it. Resuming my walk/run with my son this evening; fingers crossed my shin splints have healed!
5/3 - 197.6 exact same as yesterday but I really thought I'd be down this morning. At least it's not +! Didn't run yesterday but I did take the dogs on a 2-mile walk, was going to run today but it's been pouring all morning so may not make it outside. If no run, then I'll be on the treadmill. I did have a massage this morning and she worked on my lower legs and I had no pain, so I'm hopeful I'm healed up.
5/4 - 196.6 had a good walk/run with my son last night. Legs were tight but no pain, actually loosened up while we were out, then I soaked in the tub to relax the muscles. Off to pre-log my food choices for today, feel free to check up on me!
5/5 - 197.0 not sure why + this morning but I didn't walk or anything yesterday. Planning to run/walk again today. Need to figure out dinner as leftovers are scarce now.
5/6 - 197.6 I think I've had too much rice this week but I also haven't walked the last couple days (rain and workload).
5/7 - 195.6 what? I'll take it but it'll probably be + tomorrow. But I'll be happy today for sure! Must get in a workout today, it's been too many days.
5/8 - 195.2 good run/walk yesterday, plus a 2mile walk with the dogs.
5/9 - 196.4 not enough water yesterday. didn't make it to the grocery so meals this week will be rather boring - hunk o'meat + veg...we'll survive. Planning a run/walk today and get the dogs out too.
5/10 - 194.8 so glad I have my head on straight and am focused on food choices and exercise. Run/walk went well and the dogs definitely enjoyed their outing. Calfs are tight this morning but will focus on stretching today and will still get the dogs out. Supposed to hit 80 today in northern Indiana and I'm rather excited about it!
5/11 - 195.6 3 miles with the dogs, up and down hills, but it was HOT 86. Jumping up 20-30 degrees overnight is rough. Ended up with a blister after getting dogs out of a mud bath so not planning to run today but will walk with them again.
5/12 - 197.0 ?????? here I was thinking that perhaps the craziness of the scale had settled, but no, definitely not. Will run/walk again today because blister is much better, calfs still tight though so will keep stretching. Dinner is a beef roast and cauliflower.
5/13 - 198.2 just occurred to me I had a 'wrap' Wednesday so I'm likely seeing water as a result of gluten. Had a good run/walk yesterday, definitely feeling it in my left leg today. Will get the dogs out for a walk anyway.
5/16 - 199.0 I need a better plan for weekends. I've decided to not run for the next 6-8 weeks to give my legs a chance to fully heal. So walk it is for a while - the dogs will enjoy it!
5/17 - 197.8 managed a very short walk with the dogs, about a half mile. This morning we've already done 1.5 miles and will do 2 miles at lunch. Legs are feeling better but am going to keep walking for several weeks. If I start talking about starting to run, yell at me please! Not until July 1 - I'm determined to heal these stinkin' shin splints!
5/18 - 196.4 I am considering that my running days may be over and I need to be content with walking/recumbent bike/elliptical options (no swimming - I think I'd drown myself lol). I'm going to try to wrap my head around that idea and see how it sits while I wait for my shin splints to heal. I need to find a new 'favorite' stress reliever to replace running.

I love the accountability of this forum : - )
Tracking every bite is the key to success.
May 01 - Going with my April end weight as I did for the last month. 135.0
Monday May 02 - 136.8 - Ouch. Feeling leaner than that. Back to jumping around all over the place. My WW scale gave up the ghost months ago, and this new one...not sure if it really works. Very active days off, time for healthy food prep and eating. I truly expected a loss.
May 03 - 135.6 - That is better.
May 04 - 135.8 - Busy week, trying to have food prep ready for each dinner.
May 05 - 137.0 - No reason for this at all. I burned more calories than I ate actually (due to long hours digging in the garden after work knowing that there would be rain to set the seeds today). I did drink more water yesterday, otherwise ate very well, worked out etc. I hate these jump ups.
May 06 - 136.4 - I have had maybe too active of a week? Perhaps my body thinks that it must hold on to fat to save me lol. We got lovely rain yesterday to set my seeds into my garden : - )
May 07 - 135.4 - All of that digging finally catching up on the scale? I'll take it.
May 08 - 136.2 - Working late tonight, so it will be a late dinner.
May 09 - 136.6 - I worked much later than even expected last night, so ate very late and was up too early. Not surprised that my weight is up today, and it might take a few days to level myself back out and settle into a rare 6 day work week.
May 10 - 136.0
May 11 - 135.2 - That is better, getting closer to my start weight. I was feeling lean yesterday, glad that the scale agrees.
May 12 - 137.2 - Dang!!! 2 pounds in one day? argh
May 13 - 137.2 - Struggling with my motivation today because of this number. I will have to give myself a good talking to.
May 14 - 138.8 - double ouch. So happy to have a day off, I had only one last week and then worked 6 in a row with both jobs including getting up very early and working very late. I was truly exhausted, and the late dinners seem to affect my weight. No choice on the dinner front when I work so late. Going to try to refuse any of those next week. Lol, today will be catching up on laundry and all of the stuff that I couldn't get to. Hoping to get out for a nice hike if the weather holds, and a bunch of little workouts here and there.
May 15 - 137.4 - Planning a very active day off today: workouts, a hike, cutting the grass.
May 16 - 137.6 - I am going out to a comedy show tonight, so will try to keep my dinner when I get home small.
May 17 - 136.6 - Hmmm. I thought that it would be the other way around after being up late and then getting up early. Good laughs maybe released some fat?
Wednesday May 18 - 137.6 - Big calorie burn day, after work I went hard in the garden until almost dark, then had a late dinner. Today might be the same.

05/01 - DNW - out of town, no scale. Tomorrow will be my start weight for May.
05/02 - 135.6 (136.9 trend) first weekend in a long time that I did not gain weight!
05/03 - DNW - day off from work and woke up late. Like to weigh at same time every day.
05/04 - 135.2 (136.5 trend)
05/05 - 135.0 (136.3 trend) palate apparatus is wreaking havoc. I have a nice sore on my tongue that won't go away so it is slowing my eating down a bit. Hoping it heals soon. A little upset at the orthodontist office for not being completely truthful. They claimed this would just be "uncomfortable" until I became accustomed to it in a few days. Nothing about sores and pain. Oh well, this too shall pass
05/06 - 135.8 (136.2 trend) Pizza last night. I always gain a bit after pizza and it just doesn't seem fair this time. I could not eat the crust, so all I had was the toppings off two pieces. Really thought it would make a difference. I was wrong. Lesson learned. Of course the free biscuits and gravy at work for breakfast probably played into that gain as well
Couldn't pass up soft food that was free!
05/07 - DNW
05/08 - DNW - Hope all you Mother's had a wonderful day.
05/09 - 137.0 (136.5 trend) Unfortunately found a lot of food I could comfortably eat. Need to start being mindful again and should really start logging my food. Surgery will probably slow me down again, but I have a few weeks till that occurs.
05/10 - 136.2 (136.4 trend)
05/11 - 135.4 (136.3 trend) YAY! Back to a loss for the month. Hoping to keep this up and reach my goal
05/12 - 135.0 (136.1 trend) starting to log again today
05/13 - 133.2 (135.7 trend) Not sure I'm believing this. Will wait until tomorrows weigh in to see.
05/14 - 133.6 (135.4 trend) I'll take it
05/15 - 134.2 (135.3 trend)
05/16 - 135.2 (135.3 trend) too much sodium over the past couple of days. Need to be more careful
05/17 - DNW - had a craving for a Big Mac and fries and gave in. Was afraid to step on scales
05/18 - 134.0 (135.0 trend) very surprised
05/19 - 133.2 (134.7 trend) I thought for sure that the scale would go up after the heaping bowl of mashed potatoes I had for lunch yesterday. Very happy they didn't

5/19 - 195.8 glad the fluid is dripping off, just took a full week. Didn't manage a walk yesterday, let work overtake my plan but will make it happen today.

05/07.…..201.0…..(Trend Weight 202.8)…..
05/14.…..202.8…..(Trend Weight 202.8)….. About the same as yesterday. No TMI., 5 hours of sleep, but lots of steps yesterday and calorie burn due to working in the yard cleaning up 3 dead trees that I had cut down. Had to take lots of breathing breaks due to some heart issues. I hope the cardiologist can help on my first ever appointment June 1st.
05/15……204.0…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. I just had breakfast and dinner last night. But dinner was pasta (Lasagna). Sugar free candy for snack. Very swollen from gnat bites that I’m allergic to. Fluid retention and swelling. Nothing is helping. Benedryl, lavender oil, lavender shower gel washing (from essential oil company young living), baking soda paste, ibuprofen, cold compresses, cold water soaking, lymphomic fluid massage, keeping arms and legs elevated. Prescription Steroid cream, Horrid! Some travel today for supplies again. Probably one meal out with my helper. I’ll stay away from pasta today!
05/16……203.4…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. A small amount of travel yesterday. About 75 miles each way so not too bad. We had lunch out and I chose breakfast foods to keep the carbs down. It was good that it wasn’t a late dinner like it commonly is when traveling. I had time to burn some of it off later in the day. It was a personal trying day later in the day but I got through it. Anyway, the travel was for a Cement bird bath with the top being like a sunflower. I’ve already seen one of my birdies on it and he was smiling. He then flew off to tell his family and friends. It was a tough day otherwise, until that birdie landed. It was like a soft kiss on a boo-boo. Today will be a glorious day! I can feel it!
05/17.…..204.2…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. All day travel throughout Northern Michigan yesterday with a friend who had an appointment to look at a new (used) vehicle. Then lots of fun girl time and travel hitting car lots within a 200 mile vicinity. We think we found something after hours. Waiting for a return call today. Nice meal at a steak house. Snacks weren’t good.
05/18.…..204.4…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. Dinner out with one of my children last night. Late Mother’s Day dinner. Mexican. Today is my PC doctor appointment and glucose check. I know it won’t be good. I am beginning to suffer from severe Acid Reflux again. All the problems of obesity are returning. I know I have to get more serious and stay more consistent or more trouble is coming.
05/19.…..203.4…..(Trend Weight 203.3)….. A friend brought dinner over last night. It was a pasta casserole which was loaded with chicken. I think I really needed the protein. My A1C went down at my doctor appointment but is still way to high standing at 10 point something. She wants to see me at 6.4 . She is going to see if another injectable medicine can be approved by my insurance company as she thinks I am having an allegric reaction to Trulicity (rash at injection site). Obviously she wants me to increase movement and lower my carbs to lower weight and glucose. She talked about my weight and how it will affect the cancer remission. Scary stuff.

Still on track, I had a challenging end of April into Early May but I am working just as hard on my mental health as well as physical.
Each morning I do a 10 min energy boost HITT workout, for lunch around noon each day I walk a mile on my lunch which for me equates to a 20 min walk. I have been tracking my meals consistently and I have been using the power of NO. I am seeing an improvement in energy, sleep, and mood swings. Some days have been easier than others but the key for me is to just keep MOVING. My current motivation is the same thought day in and day out " show up for yourself."
Great jobs on the progress being made guys!!!

05/15……204.0…..(Trend Weight 203.0)…..
05/16……203.4…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. A small amount of travel yesterday. About 75 miles each way so not too bad. We had lunch out and I chose breakfast foods to keep the carbs down. It was good that it wasn’t a late dinner like it commonly is when traveling. I had time to burn some of it off later in the day. It was a personal trying day later in the day but I got through it. Anyway, the travel was for a Cement bird bath with the top being like a sunflower. I’ve already seen one of my birdies on it and he was smiling. He then flew off to tell his family and friends. It was a tough day otherwise, until that birdie landed. It was like a soft kiss on a boo-boo. Today will be a glorious day! I can feel it!
05/17.…..204.2…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. All day travel throughout Northern Michigan yesterday with a friend who had an appointment to look at a new (used) vehicle. Then lots of fun girl time and travel hitting car lots within a 200 mile vicinity. We think we found something after hours. Waiting for a return call today. Nice meal at a steak house. Snacks weren’t good.
05/18.…..204.4…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. Dinner out with one of my children last night. Late Mother’s Day dinner. Mexican. Today is my PC doctor appointment and glucose check. I know it won’t be good. I am beginning to suffer from severe Acid Reflux again. All the problems of obesity are returning. I know I have to get more serious and stay more consistent or more trouble is coming.
05/19.…..203.4…..(Trend Weight 203.3)….. A friend brought dinner over last night. It was a pasta casserole which was loaded with chicken. I think I really needed the protein. My A1C went down at my doctor appointment but is still way to high standing at 10 point something. She wants to see me at 6.4 . She is going to see if another injectable medicine can be approved by my insurance company as she thinks I am having an allegric reaction to Trulicity (rash at injection site). Obviously she wants me to increase movement and lower my carbs to lower weight and glucose. She talked about my weight and how it will affect the cancer remission. Scary stuff.
05/20.…..201.0…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. A big drop on the scale which is mostly water weight. With all the travel of late I had not been able to take my water pill (heart) which I take 3 times per week. I also had extra fluid buildup from the swelling caused by the gnat bite attack. Also, a very early dinner last night, but it did lead to some snacking later. I kept that snacking under pretty good control, however. I would say my real weight is more like 202. We will see what happens tomorrow.

I love the accountability of this forum : - )
Tracking every bite is the key to success.
May 01 - Going with my April end weight as I did for the last month. 135.0
Monday May 02 - 136.8 - Ouch. Feeling leaner than that. Back to jumping around all over the place. My WW scale gave up the ghost months ago, and this new one...not sure if it really works. Very active days off, time for healthy food prep and eating. I truly expected a loss.
May 03 - 135.6 - That is better.
May 04 - 135.8 - Busy week, trying to have food prep ready for each dinner.
May 05 - 137.0 - No reason for this at all. I burned more calories than I ate actually (due to long hours digging in the garden after work knowing that there would be rain to set the seeds today). I did drink more water yesterday, otherwise ate very well, worked out etc. I hate these jump ups.
May 06 - 136.4 - I have had maybe too active of a week? Perhaps my body thinks that it must hold on to fat to save me lol. We got lovely rain yesterday to set my seeds into my garden : - )
May 07 - 135.4 - All of that digging finally catching up on the scale? I'll take it.
May 08 - 136.2 - Working late tonight, so it will be a late dinner.
May 09 - 136.6 - I worked much later than even expected last night, so ate very late and was up too early. Not surprised that my weight is up today, and it might take a few days to level myself back out and settle into a rare 6 day work week.
May 10 - 136.0
May 11 - 135.2 - That is better, getting closer to my start weight. I was feeling lean yesterday, glad that the scale agrees.
May 12 - 137.2 - Dang!!! 2 pounds in one day? argh
May 13 - 137.2 - Struggling with my motivation today because of this number. I will have to give myself a good talking to.
May 14 - 138.8 - double ouch. So happy to have a day off, I had only one last week and then worked 6 in a row with both jobs including getting up very early and working very late. I was truly exhausted, and the late dinners seem to affect my weight. No choice on the dinner front when I work so late. Going to try to refuse any of those next week. Lol, today will be catching up on laundry and all of the stuff that I couldn't get to. Hoping to get out for a nice hike if the weather holds, and a bunch of little workouts here and there.
May 15 - 137.4 - Planning a very active day off today: workouts, a hike, cutting the grass.
May 16 - 137.6 - I am going out to a comedy show tonight, so will try to keep my dinner when I get home small.
May 17 - 136.6 - Hmmm. I thought that it would be the other way around after being up late and then getting up early. Good laughs maybe released some fat?
Wednesday May 18 - 137.6 - Big calorie burn day, after work I went hard in the garden until almost dark, then had a late dinner. Today might be the same.
May 19 - 139.0
May 20 - 139.6 - Not sure what is going on with me. Of course not happy about the extra pounds on the scale.
Leaving on a mini holiday right after work today. I will be taking my scale with me but am not sure if I will find time for the forums for a few days. I am packing food to take. Eating out is something that I will avoid except for coffee in cafes. 90% rain in the forecast so I don't know if I will get any hiking in, but will definitely be going to the parade, the street fair, the farmer's market, the midway etc. I will get workouts in on my phone or laptop in my motel and a bit of walking around the Blossom Festival and Rodeo grounds.

Height: 5'6" Age: 52
May goal: 192
UGW: 145
5/1 - 197.8 setting a rather ambitious goal for this month as I haven't managed an actual loss in many months. But weather is improving so I'll be outside and moving more, and I typically do lose well during the summer.
5/2 - 197.6 not a great weekend as far as food choices, but just a slight uptick from the end of April so I'm ok with it. Resuming my walk/run with my son this evening; fingers crossed my shin splints have healed!
5/3 - 197.6 exact same as yesterday but I really thought I'd be down this morning. At least it's not +! Didn't run yesterday but I did take the dogs on a 2-mile walk, was going to run today but it's been pouring all morning so may not make it outside. If no run, then I'll be on the treadmill. I did have a massage this morning and she worked on my lower legs and I had no pain, so I'm hopeful I'm healed up.
5/4 - 196.6 had a good walk/run with my son last night. Legs were tight but no pain, actually loosened up while we were out, then I soaked in the tub to relax the muscles. Off to pre-log my food choices for today, feel free to check up on me!
5/5 - 197.0 not sure why + this morning but I didn't walk or anything yesterday. Planning to run/walk again today. Need to figure out dinner as leftovers are scarce now.
5/6 - 197.6 I think I've had too much rice this week but I also haven't walked the last couple days (rain and workload).
5/7 - 195.6 what? I'll take it but it'll probably be + tomorrow. But I'll be happy today for sure! Must get in a workout today, it's been too many days.
5/8 - 195.2 good run/walk yesterday, plus a 2mile walk with the dogs.
5/9 - 196.4 not enough water yesterday. didn't make it to the grocery so meals this week will be rather boring - hunk o'meat + veg...we'll survive. Planning a run/walk today and get the dogs out too.
5/10 - 194.8 so glad I have my head on straight and am focused on food choices and exercise. Run/walk went well and the dogs definitely enjoyed their outing. Calfs are tight this morning but will focus on stretching today and will still get the dogs out. Supposed to hit 80 today in northern Indiana and I'm rather excited about it!
5/11 - 195.6 3 miles with the dogs, up and down hills, but it was HOT 86. Jumping up 20-30 degrees overnight is rough. Ended up with a blister after getting dogs out of a mud bath so not planning to run today but will walk with them again.
5/12 - 197.0 ?????? here I was thinking that perhaps the craziness of the scale had settled, but no, definitely not. Will run/walk again today because blister is much better, calfs still tight though so will keep stretching. Dinner is a beef roast and cauliflower.
5/13 - 198.2 just occurred to me I had a 'wrap' Wednesday so I'm likely seeing water as a result of gluten. Had a good run/walk yesterday, definitely feeling it in my left leg today. Will get the dogs out for a walk anyway.
5/16 - 199.0 I need a better plan for weekends. I've decided to not run for the next 6-8 weeks to give my legs a chance to fully heal. So walk it is for a while - the dogs will enjoy it!
5/17 - 197.8 managed a very short walk with the dogs, about a half mile. This morning we've already done 1.5 miles and will do 2 miles at lunch. Legs are feeling better but am going to keep walking for several weeks. If I start talking about starting to run, yell at me please! Not until July 1 - I'm determined to heal these stinkin' shin splints!
5/18 - 196.4 I am considering that my running days may be over and I need to be content with walking/recumbent bike/elliptical options (no swimming - I think I'd drown myself lol). I'm going to try to wrap my head around that idea and see how it sits while I wait for my shin splints to heal. I need to find a new 'favorite' stress reliever to replace running.
5/19 - 195.8 glad the fluid is dripping off, just took a full week. Didn't manage a walk yesterday, let work overtake my plan but will make it happen today.
5/20 - 194.8 good walk with the dogs yesterday and scale rewarded me with again showing my low. I'm walking a 5k tomorrow with my sister to raise funds for a veterans association. It's held at a winery so I'm looking forward to the scenery, and let's face it, I'm looking forward to the wine slushy!

05/01 - DNW - out of town, no scale. Tomorrow will be my start weight for May.
05/02 - 135.6 (136.9 trend) first weekend in a long time that I did not gain weight!
05/03 - DNW - day off from work and woke up late. Like to weigh at same time every day.
05/04 - 135.2 (136.5 trend)
05/05 - 135.0 (136.3 trend) palate apparatus is wreaking havoc. I have a nice sore on my tongue that won't go away so it is slowing my eating down a bit. Hoping it heals soon. A little upset at the orthodontist office for not being completely truthful. They claimed this would just be "uncomfortable" until I became accustomed to it in a few days. Nothing about sores and pain. Oh well, this too shall pass
05/06 - 135.8 (136.2 trend) Pizza last night. I always gain a bit after pizza and it just doesn't seem fair this time. I could not eat the crust, so all I had was the toppings off two pieces. Really thought it would make a difference. I was wrong. Lesson learned. Of course the free biscuits and gravy at work for breakfast probably played into that gain as well Couldn't pass up soft food that was free!
05/07 - DNW
05/08 - DNW - Hope all you Mother's had a wonderful day.
05/09 - 137.0 (136.5 trend) Unfortunately found a lot of food I could comfortably eat. Need to start being mindful again and should really start logging my food. Surgery will probably slow me down again, but I have a few weeks till that occurs.
05/10 - 136.2 (136.4 trend)
05/11 - 135.4 (136.3 trend) YAY! Back to a loss for the month. Hoping to keep this up and reach my goal
05/12 - 135.0 (136.1 trend) starting to log again today
05/13 - 133.2 (135.7 trend) Not sure I'm believing this. Will wait until tomorrows weigh in to see.
05/14 - 133.6 (135.4 trend) I'll take it
05/15 - 134.2 (135.3 trend)
05/16 - 135.2 (135.3 trend) too much sodium over the past couple of days. Need to be more careful
05/17 - DNW - had a craving for a Big Mac and fries and gave in. Was afraid to step on scales
05/18 - 134.0 (135.0 trend) very surprised
05/19 - 133.2 (134.7 trend) I thought for sure that the scale would go up after the heaping bowl of mashed potatoes I had for lunch yesterday. Very happy they didn't
05/20 - 133.4 (134.5 trend) thought for sure I posted this already this morning, but I guess not.

5/1 - 197.8 setting a rather ambitious goal for this month as I haven't managed an actual loss in many months. But weather is improving so I'll be outside and moving more, and I typically do lose well during the summer.
5/2 - 197.6 not a great weekend as far as food choices, but just a slight uptick from the end of April so I'm ok with it. Resuming my walk/run with my son this evening; fingers crossed my shin splints have healed!
5/3 - 197.6 exact same as yesterday but I really thought I'd be down this morning. At least it's not +! Didn't run yesterday but I did take the dogs on a 2-mile walk, was going to run today but it's been pouring all morning so may not make it outside. If no run, then I'll be on the treadmill. I did have a massage this morning and she worked on my lower legs and I had no pain, so I'm hopeful I'm healed up.
5/4 - 196.6 had a good walk/run with my son last night. Legs were tight but no pain, actually loosened up while we were out, then I soaked in the tub to relax the muscles. Off to pre-log my food choices for today, feel free to check up on me!
5/5 - 197.0 not sure why + this morning but I didn't walk or anything yesterday. Planning to run/walk again today. Need to figure out dinner as leftovers are scarce now.
5/6 - 197.6 I think I've had too much rice this week but I also haven't walked the last couple days (rain and workload).
5/7 - 195.6 what? I'll take it but it'll probably be + tomorrow. But I'll be happy today for sure! Must get in a workout today, it's been too many days.
5/8 - 195.2 good run/walk yesterday, plus a 2mile walk with the dogs.
5/9 - 196.4 not enough water yesterday. didn't make it to the grocery so meals this week will be rather boring - hunk o'meat + veg...we'll survive. Planning a run/walk today and get the dogs out too.
5/10 - 194.8 so glad I have my head on straight and am focused on food choices and exercise. Run/walk went well and the dogs definitely enjoyed their outing. Calfs are tight this morning but will focus on stretching today and will still get the dogs out. Supposed to hit 80 today in northern Indiana and I'm rather excited about it!
5/11 - 195.6 3 miles with the dogs, up and down hills, but it was HOT 86. Jumping up 20-30 degrees overnight is rough. Ended up with a blister after getting dogs out of a mud bath so not planning to run today but will walk with them again.
5/12 - 197.0 ?????? here I was thinking that perhaps the craziness of the scale had settled, but no, definitely not. Will run/walk again today because blister is much better, calfs still tight though so will keep stretching. Dinner is a beef roast and cauliflower.
5/13 - 198.2 just occurred to me I had a 'wrap' Wednesday so I'm likely seeing water as a result of gluten. Had a good run/walk yesterday, definitely feeling it in my left leg today. Will get the dogs out for a walk anyway.
5/16 - 199.0 I need a better plan for weekends. I've decided to not run for the next 6-8 weeks to give my legs a chance to fully heal. So walk it is for a while - the dogs will enjoy it!
5/17 - 197.8 managed a very short walk with the dogs, about a half mile. This morning we've already done 1.5 miles and will do 2 miles at lunch. Legs are feeling better but am going to keep walking for several weeks. If I start talking about starting to run, yell at me please! Not until July 1 - I'm determined to heal these stinkin' shin splints!
5/18 - 196.4 I am considering that my running days may be over and I need to be content with walking/recumbent bike/elliptical options (no swimming - I think I'd drown myself lol). I'm going to try to wrap my head around that idea and see how it sits while I wait for my shin splints to heal. I need to find a new 'favorite' stress reliever to replace running.
5/19 - 195.8 glad the fluid is dripping off, just took a full week. Didn't manage a walk yesterday, let work overtake my plan but will make it happen today.
5/20 - 194.8 good walk with the dogs yesterday and scale rewarded me with again showing my low. I'm walking a 5k tomorrow with my sister to raise funds for a veterans association. It's held at a winery so I'm looking forward to the scenery, and let's face it, I'm looking forward to the wine slushy!
5/21 - 196.4 my own fault, no walk yesterday+a little bread+a lotta margarita. Will push fluid after my 5k walk with my sister today.

05/15……204.0…..(Trend Weight 203.0)…..
05/16……203.4…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. A small amount of travel yesterday. About 75 miles each way so not too bad. We had lunch out and I chose breakfast foods to keep the carbs down. It was good that it wasn’t a late dinner like it commonly is when traveling. I had time to burn some of it off later in the day. It was a personal trying day later in the day but I got through it. Anyway, the travel was for a Cement bird bath with the top being like a sunflower. I’ve already seen one of my birdies on it and he was smiling. He then flew off to tell his family and friends. It was a tough day otherwise, until that birdie landed. It was like a soft kiss on a boo-boo. Today will be a glorious day! I can feel it!
05/17.…..204.2…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. All day travel throughout Northern Michigan yesterday with a friend who had an appointment to look at a new (used) vehicle. Then lots of fun girl time and travel hitting car lots within a 200 mile vicinity. We think we found something after hours. Waiting for a return call today. Nice meal at a steak house. Snacks weren’t good.
05/18.…..204.4…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. Dinner out with one of my children last night. Late Mother’s Day dinner. Mexican. Today is my PC doctor appointment and glucose check. I know it won’t be good. I am beginning to suffer from severe Acid Reflux again. All the problems of obesity are returning. I know I have to get more serious and stay more consistent or more trouble is coming.
05/19.…..203.4…..(Trend Weight 203.3)….. A friend brought dinner over last night. It was a pasta casserole which was loaded with chicken. I think I really needed the protein. My A1C went down at my doctor appointment but is still way to high standing at 10 point something. She wants to see me at 6.4 . She is going to see if another injectable medicine can be approved by my insurance company as she thinks I am having an allegric reaction to Trulicity (rash at injection site). Obviously she wants me to increase movement and lower my carbs to lower weight and glucose. She talked about my weight and how it will affect the cancer remission. Scary stuff.
05/20.…..201.0…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. A big drop on the scale which is mostly water weight. With all the travel of late I had not been able to take my water pill (heart) which I take 3 times per week. I also had extra fluid buildup from the swelling caused by the gnat bite attack. Also, a very early dinner last night, but it did lead to some snacking later. I kept that snacking under pretty good control, however. I would say my real weight is more like 202. Lots of extra calorie burn working in the yard. I think that helped too. We will see what happens tomorrow.
05/21.…..201.6…..(Trend Weight 202.9)….. This is likely my true weight at this point. I like that it is at 201 point because it makes me feel like Onederland can be achieved soon. Of course, until I hit 197 point I don’t feel secure in it so I still have a way to go but I’m feeling hopeful as the good weather enters Northern Michigan more consistently. I am happy to see that my trend weight went down a bit.

Fitbit shows very low calorie burn and hardly any steps (4000+). More travel today which will take much longer and be much further. Lunch or dinner will be out. Choosing wisely and watching portions is the game plan. But I know the calorie burn will be much lower than normal.
