All the time. I know myself well enough to know I have to weigh daily to stay on plan. But weighing daily also provides me plenty of opportunities for discouragement. It's a balance. I just have to keep reminding myself this is normal and in the long run is for the best.

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
15th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.
Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
RSW: 230.8
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate
Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully
Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 230.0 New low thanks to a lovely bout with a stomach bug Sunday and Monday. Not the way to get there.
6/7 230.4 As expected, back up due to rehydration, etc.
6/8 230.2 I’m coming for you, 220s!! Headed to the gym this afternoon, meals for today are planned and logged. Welcome to all the new folks! I hope this group helps you as much as it has helped me.
6/9 230.2 Stress is not my friend. Several people on my work team are out for extended periods over the next couple of months, and it’s already getting to me. But I am proud that yesterday, instead of turning to food in the afternoon, I went to the gym. I felt much better after a solid workout and ate a reasonable dinner. Now let’s see if I can keep that mindset through the summer!
6/10 230.6 I’ll admit that’s not the number I was expecting to see this morning, but it’s a marathon, not a sprint. This weekend will be challenging with a local festival and a graduation party, but I’m up for the challenge! Have a great weekend, everyone!
6/11 230.0
6/12 230.0
6/13 231.0 Welp, that’s what happens when you go to a party Sunday afternoon and drink your calories. But I know this is temporary and hopefully will be gone in a day or two. I was hoping to reach 220s before this round ends but…we’ll see.

It took me the better part of 6 months on that international known program to lose 7#. That was discouraging but that is what made me “talk” with someone who mentioned keto and got me started reading books by Jason Fung, MD. I had been told I was insulin resistant years before but the doctor I went to never told me that it would be an ongoing problem. I should have stayed on his low carb DIET. It was a DIET so I went off and regained. That is why I refer to my “way of eating” (WOE) and never call it a diet.5 -

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

SW 120.0 (6/5)
6/6 121.0 GKI 11.9 Result of baby shower with pizza and pasta, essentially no protein. At least there was no cake!
6/7 120.5 GKI 9.7 Sewed off and on for 4 hours yesterday trying to avoid headache upon waking this morning. Still had headache but it’s almost gone. Arthritis stinks! Doc’s office called yesterday and my osteopenia has become osteoporosis. Going back on Fosamax.
6/8 118.5 GKI 8.3 OMAD yesterday “Just like the real thing” lasagna
6/9 118.0 GKI 6.3
6/10 118.0 GKI 9.8 OMAD at a new (to us) Japanese restaurant. Rice or noodles with everything, no low carb option. The General Tso’s chicken was not heavily breaded like most places. YAY! Delicious but could have been spicier - particularly after the fellow warned me twice about the hot spice!
6/11 118.5 GKI 5.7 (edited) Day 2 of helping get the school library in order.
6/12 118.5 GKI 7.0 OMAD was from a new to us BBQ place. It didn’t taste sweet except the taste of sauce I got when I dipped the tip of my fork. Properly seasoned BBQ doesn’t need sauce and this was good without it.
6/13 121.0 GKI unknown I don’t know what was wrong with my meter this morning. Late OMAD yesterday have no idea why the 2.5# gain. Smoked pork tenderloin, cauliflower, keto sour cream poundcake with berries and SF vanilla whipped cream.
Late posting today because I was invited to breakfast at neighbors at 8 and didn’t wake up until 7:35!6 -

6/06 366.0 3853
6/07 367.2 6023 – Still working on getting back on track.
6/08 367.2 2816 – Welcome to all the new ones joining the challenge. There is a lot of support here and you will lose weight if you stick with weighing daily and checking in here no matter what. I am working in the office today so I will get my step goal in for sure. I must get cracking if I want to reach my goal for this round. Hard to get my MOJO back after vacation but I am getting there for sure. I brought fixings for salads Monday night. I may go again tonight to see if I can find some reasonable fruit in season besides bananas…lol

6/12 362.4 7168 – Weekend good so far. I finally dropped some more pounds. I am getting ready to move so I have a lot to do to prepare for move. I will be moving in with my sister for the 1st ever and I am praying it works out. Reached my goal of 363 with 3 more days to go or two. So may squeeze in another pound.
6/13 359.6 4386 – Unbelievable! but I have been eating well under calories and not eating back movement calories. No real workouts yet. My knees have been acting up, but I have been walking more without cane and I have notice that I burn a lot more calories without cane assistance. Another lady at work told me she could see I was losing weight. This is always motivational for me to keep going. Especially since I have days without losing when I am eating right, and I know why that is.

Net change 2022 = SW 380.0 EW 367.6 (-12.4) Overall goal: 26-39 lbs.In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010, weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Outpatient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO, the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively every day. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Every day I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 214.4 I am glad to see another weight loss. This morning I did gardening. I also prepped alot of fruits and veggies to eat throughout the week which is new but something I think will be helpful. Nervous about the upcoming two days because I am going to be working night shift which is going to be throwing things out of whack.
6/7 213.6 Very happy with another loss. Not sure what I am doing today really. I am working starting at 11pm so sleeping mostly today. The real challenge will be when it is past midnight and I would typically eat alot to keep myself awake during the shift. I can't really do that to stay on track. I do have some healthy things I am bringing.
6/8 I worked night shift and some other of the staff brought in chips and dip and doritos all which I love but I did not have any of it and I had my prepared food from home!
6/9 I worked night shift again. Hopefully not again for awhile. Again other people brought chips and things to share. But I held steady and brought my healthy packed food! And I was under my calorie for today.
6/10 212.2 Got back on the scale and was happy to see good number. I new were having pizza for dinner so was able to budget enough for dinner and still be under. Feeling surprisingly energized after work.
6/11 212.8 A little disappointed with the gain today. I really don't know where it is from I was under my calories.
6/12 213.4 Not sure what is going on... perhaps water weight.
6/13 211 Well finally back in the right direction! Hopefully staying this way from now on. I just discovered chocolate rice cakes and they are surprisingly good.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

@IsMollyReallyHungry way to go!!!!! This is the inspiration I needed. Gonna have to hold a dance party tonight with the kids to celebrate you. 🎉

6/6 / 160.4 / Worked from home with a Peloton ride at lunch. The rainy weather stopped me from taking my dog for her walk as she hates getting her paws wet, and rather than go out on my own I did a 10 minute strength workout instead.
6/7 / 162.2 / Last day in office before I start a string of corporate events including golf and field tours. I will get some form of exercise in tonight but I have lots to get organized.
6/8 / 162.2 / Round of golf today for work. Should get plenty of steps!
6/9 / 160.8
6/10 / DNW
6/11 / 163.2 / I was away on business Thursday and Friday with no down time. 5 hour drive to the location, a round of golf, supper and drinks, and then the next morning we did field tours and then hit the road again. I am at the lake for the weekend.
6/12 / 163.4 / Got my 10,000 steps yesterday and did a strength workout. My husband did ribs on the BBQ and there were a few cocktails so my calories were higher. Today is rainy so my movement has been low but I hope to make up for it later today in one way or another.
6/13 / 162.2 / Had a tough day at work but my husband and I had a lovely couples massage with my husband tonight so I feel a bit better.

Round 189 ( my 121th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
I've enjoyed the Queen's platinum jubilee weekend, but that is now over, many of my clothes are beginning to feel a little uncomfortable, no way do I want to get into the sprial of buying the next size bigger clothes, I'd like to lose a couple of pounds this round, but any is a loss!!!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 141.6 – oh dear !! That is my highest weight since I started these rounds (round 69) ! As you can see I did celebrate Her Majesty's platinum jubilee and I did enjoy it. But now is the time to move on. Not only that I am starting to drop behind with my walking daily average goal; one of the reasons is my temp. seasonal part time job, but enough of the excuses, lets move on and make this round count!
6/7 140.4 - 9.2 miles walked, good food choices, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
6/8 139.6 – good to see the 130's again! 7 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back, 11g carbs over.
6/9 139.4 – 11.07 miles walked. A third of exercise calories eaten back.
6/10 139,4 - only 2 miles walked yesterday child minding 3 DGC all 3 and under. Ate clean, but due to lack of structured exercise 149 calories over. Only 1 baby DGD today, so shall get out for a walk when she has her nap pushing her in pushchair.
6/11 140.4 – couldn't stop picking all day, shows on the scales. 5 miles walked, some “off roading” pushing little DGD, it wasn't planned – took the wrong path & when I realised it was too difficult to go back up the way I had come!!!! Was relieved to get back on the tarmac footpath!!
6/12 140.6 – 11 miles walked yesterday, chocolate monster got me; 253 calories over
6/13 139.8 -12.02 miles walked, good food choices – no chocolate!! 3/4rds exercise calories eaten back.
6/14 139.6 – 7.19 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back. No chocolate !
6/15

ROUND 188
SW: 179.2starting a little late: weighing every day will be difficult, i usually only weigh in on sunday. i've been bouncing back and forth with my weight, a tiny gain, a tiny loss. think i will add a little exercise to the dieting plan.ROUND 189
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE👍👍

5/28
5/29: 179.2 30 minute walk @2.5mph 1691 calories
5/30: 178.6 1193 calories
5/31: 176.6 30 minute walk @ 2.5 mph 1254 calories
6/1 : 178 1100 calories (and there is the bounce. not letting it bother me, 'cause my normal weigh in is sunday. when i report my weight on sunday i'll still have lost some). not sure if i'll be walking for a little while. i have arthritis in the hips. the walk yesterday i wasn't sure if i would make it home. healthy weight must come with a healthy body.
6/2 : 178, 1538 calories. going to have to do better. i caught myself "boredom" eating. i will be sure to set higher standards of myself tomorrow.
6/3 : 178.2, 1224 calories not a bad day. disappointed with my sandwiches. i used to make them with joseph's flax, oat bran, wheat lavish bread. the grocery store didn't have that when i went shopping. decided to buy pepperidge farm very thin whole wheat. it'll be excellent for toast, but for sandwich? naaah. making a mental note to buy extra joseph's when they're back... i'll freeze it.
6/4 : 178.6 1609 calories. was my calorie intake poor choices? i don't think so. it's disappointing to see my weight continue to go up.... but there's other things to consider. i haven't been able to walk for several days, and my quitting smoking has been going very well. i am still using the step 2 patch, but sometimes i forget to replace it, and when stress triggers the "i NEED a cigarette" i'm able to fight past the urge. maybe i'm seeing things right/wrong. i've consumed 350 less calories this week than needed to "maintain" without the exercise, so my weight is probably right where it should be.
6/5 : 180.2 1037 calories. hmmmm. not really understanding how the app keeps telling me i'll weigh less in 5 weeks, but my weight keeps going up. it's proving to be quite the disappointment.
SW: 180.2
Day/Weight/Comment
6/6: 179, my eating was a mess today, macro's messed up, calories exceeded. i did get a good 2mi. walk in @3.0mph. i have also graduated to step 3 with the nicotine patch, that was a difficult experience also (yay me.... i didn't give in!) i'd like to go for another walk tonight, but worry about the arthritis. maybe a nice slow stroll around the community.
6/7: 178.8 my eating is still a mess, macro's still messed up, now i have seriously lagged in calories. it was too hot to sleep last night, so when i finally got to sleep i ended up waking up too late to take a walk. heat and humidity do not agree with me. i'd like to go out now to walk, but sometime tonight the county is spraying for mosquito's (not even sure if my area is being sprayed, just don't want to get caught in it if it is). every thing seems disappointing today, but i do have a beautiful cucumber in my garden that i will pick tomorrow morning!
6/8: 178.2 that's not a true weight loss. previously, i have been weighing myself at all different times of the day, so my weight would vary. i think i have found the perfect time in the morning to get on that scale. hopefully, i can continue to hit the scale about the same time in the morning to get an accurate weight gain/loss. calories today were pretty good. macros still terrible. took a 1.5mi walk @3.0mph, so i'm feeling good that i got that in. cigarette cravings are still high, and a couple times today i replaced smoking with food.... not good.
6/9: 178.2 way over in my fats, way under in my carbs, protein just about perfect. bacon is one of my weaknesses... i just couldn't resist those 2 extra pieces this morning. i had planned on just one. today was a hectic day inside the house. the AC needs replacing ($$$), and i was bouncing back in forth between chores to stay out of the tech's way. it's my off day from walking which i am glad of. surprisingly, it's not arthritis that's giving me trouble, it's pain in the arch of my foot (i believe it to be plantar fasciitis, but have never had it diagnosed). have it wrapped with ace bandage so pressure is applied. maybe tomorrow i will get out and purchase duct tape to wrap it in (believe it or not, it works!)
6/10: 178 today... craving comfort food. went over in calories and waaay over in sodium. dreading my weight in tomorrow, but that's the price i pay.
6/11: 178...no loss, no gain which i am feeling grateful of. again today i exceeded calories. i did get to go for a walk though, 1.5mi @3.0mph. i've got my ear buds charging (maybe i'll go out late tonight and dance around). tomorrow i am going to "the sons of italy" lodge to make my membership official. no, i'm not italian (although the way i eat some pasta, you might think so). I live in a gated community, and have only met people at least 20 yrs. older or at least 20 yrs younger than myself. i'm hoping i can meet some people at the lodge with similar likes as myself so i can get out and do more.
6/12: 179... and there is (some?) of the weight i've been expecting to see. i am hoping to be more mindful of my sodium intake (it is a little difficult, as i have italian cured meats (sopressata and prosciutto which i must be sure NEVER to purchase again) in the fridge. the person i live with had said he wanted tuna mixed up for sandwiches. i made it for him, and now after drinking too much and not feeling well after eating the sandwich, he has decided he doesn't want to eat any more of it. sometimes i wonder if he's trying to sabotage me, knowing that i will not throw food away. i try eating it in moderation before it spoils, but obviously that hasn't worked out so well for me.
6/13: 180.8 hopefully this is all that will show up! i mean honestly.... i didn't exceed my calories by THAT much, and my walks aren't figured into my calorie allowance. is it the salt? well, i made a decision to plan all those cured meats into my meals immediately, so i'm not dragging out the high sodium. making to to at least drink 8 cups water (hopefully to flush some out of my system). i did get to walk 2mi @3.0mph. i had the ear buds in, and i didn't want to stop. it was after 11pm, so figured i should before neighbors thought i was someone snooping around looking to commit a burglary.
6/14: 178.2 well, originally the scale said 177.8 and i didn't believe it so went back and did it again. came up with the 178.2 i like that number, so i'm going to keep it and not go back again. (i lied, i went back again this time it said 177.6 stupid battery operated digital scale!) the HVAC people were here yesterday putting in the new AC from 9am to 7:30pm. no AC hot, humid, and miserable in the house all day, and they still have to come back today to finish. at least the AC is back on. i hope they don't have to turn it off again. calories and macros have been good the past couple days, and that cured meat is gone (there was only a total of 6oz), so sodium should start to be at a reasonable level. i have also been measuring my inches, just the 3 that originally show up in the MFP app., neck, waist, and hips. i do only 1 on a rotating basis so it takes 3 weeks of MFP before the area gets a new measurement. i have been doing this for 9 weeks. this past sunday was "hip" day which is the only measurement which has ever showed any loss. i went down 1 inch.

We went to see friends last night and I over indulged in salty snacks and such. I feel puffy, but it won’t last.

That’s a little better. Here’s another rose for you all—first blossom on my new Joseph’s Coat!

Busy day yesterday with my pup, Rory. In the morning I taught an obedience class, then took Rory through his Urban Canine Good Citizen test, which he passed with flying colors. We went to various places—fire station, construction site, ice skating center—to test the dogs around urban sites and sounds, including strange (!) people, stairs, different flooring surfaces, elevator…. So at 11 months, Rory is now officially Stormridge Celtic Thunder TKN CGC CGCU (TKC = Novice Trick Dog). Then in the evening we trained for his tracking test, hoping to be ready in the fall. He loves tracking and is very good at it. How does this relate to weight loss? I got a LOT of exercise yesterday! Here’s Rory yesterday after passing his test.
6/09 - 180.8
Three hours of tracking class this morning, which means three hours of mostly walking over rough ground, some standing. Lots of fun!
6/10 - 180.6
Does anyone know where to record weight updates on the new and “improved” MFP app? The Progress link has disappeared. Phooey, MFP! Anyway, I had a good day yesterday with lots of exercise and calories where I want them. Yay! Happy Friday!
6/11 - 181.4
Hmmm. Calories were good, so this must be salt. We had eggplant parmigian for dinner, so maybe that’s the culprit. Leftovers tonight, so I guess I’ll drink extra wawa today and see what happens. Trying to finish some garden work before this week’s heat wave hits. Have a lovely Saturday!
6/12 - 180.8
Snacked a bit more than planned last night, but was still well below maintenance, so ok. I think I’m still a bit “salt heavy” from the eggplant parmigian leftovers—all that lovely cheese! Today is soup day.
6/13 - 180.8
Gee whiz. My calories have been spot on most of the round and my weekly average is way below maintenance. Let go, fat cells! 😁

I hope everyone in the path of last night’s storms in the Midwest. We’re fine, but the other side of town has a lot of damage. Be safe!

6/14 - 153.2 - Probably the water. Got over 100oz yesterday and I'm rehydrating, which is normal for me. I don't feel quite as bloated as before so hoping tomorrow it'll drop off. Overnight oats for breakfast. Leftover steak and smoked potato chunks for lunch. Trying to watch my sodium intake and focus on water again to drop this off. Not sure if I'll have a chance to post in the morning (if so it'll be from the phone app which is always iffy) but I'm sure I'll weigh in at least. We will be gone tomorrow (Wednesday) through Sunday so I'll be back Monday with my first day at the new job. Another boring day so hopefully it'll give me a chance to do some kind of movement in my little cubicle. For my health and my sanity! No word yet on BF's job application. Hoping to hear something today so he doesn't have to lug his work computer/phone to the beach with us.
6/15
Previous Day's Comments6/06 - Water weight, I'm guessing. Also lack of sleep. Triple digit temperatures and working outside. Simply couldn't keep up no matter how hard I tried. I did accept the remote job on Friday. Waiting to hear from my current job HR and then from new job about all the information needed for onboarding. Anxiety through the roof with this transition right now, but I'm coping best I can. Busy week for work even before the added stress of handoff so hopefully days will go fast.
6/07 - Insight (hindsight?) from yesterday is TOM decided to make an appearance which, on top of the weekend water debacle (which I rectified to the best of my ability yesterday and will continue today) and sleep, accounts perfectly for the increase. Still dealing with TOM bloat today, plus some salt from dinner last night. Back on track, though. Steak and green beans for dinner last night as well as lunch today. Breakfast is the usual overnight oats. Dinner will be some form of "Taco Tuesday" fare, whether that be burritos, tacos (street or regular), enchiladas, nachos or something else. Hoping an email today so I can begin process for background check and hopefully schedule my drug test for this Friday as I'm going on vacation Wednesday next week until Sunday plus my last 2 days of work filled with out-processing Monday-Tuesday. Start date is Monday after we get back from vacation. Luckily ma helped me gather all my addresses for the last 7 years (required) and that's the hardest part of it all. Just takes the longest once submitted so best to get it done as soon as possible after I get the information packet to submit. Whew. Lots and lots of busy work finishing my assignments at this job as much as possible and getting all the on-boarding for new one with such a tight deadline.
6/08 - Salty dinner of nachos (dang you delicious salty tortilla chips!!!). All good, it fit in my plan and I was anticipating it. Lunch leftover is a burrito and left the chips behind. I was feeling extremely bloated last night when I went to bed which seemed to be way too soon for the salt (an hour after eating?) so not sure what else is going on in the body. I'm focusing on my water, though. Hopefully the bloat goes away soon, though, as we leave for the beach getaway a week from today and I'm feeling uncomfortable and not confident at all.
6/09 - Salt bloat is now gone, thankfully. Focused very heavily on water yesterday. Sleepy bug has got me this week and every morning has been a struggle. However, I can now say I've made it through all my wakeups for work this week and lived to tell the tale! Only two more 330am work wake ups left! Dinner was grilled chicken drumsticks with bbq glaze, corn, and green beans. Same for lunch today. Breakfast the usual overnight oats. I think I have enough oats for at least ONE more breakfast so I'll need to find an alternate for my last day of work next week. Shouldn't be difficult. I'll try to check in at some point tomorrow but busy busy. Taking BigBro to work with SD so we can stay in town to knock out our shopping first thing in the morning. Then drug test for work and her eye appointment. Also going to try to knock out as much of my packing for the beach vacation next week as possible since I don't know what the weekend holds and I know I don't have enough time to pack it all after work Tuesday. Hopefully all the movement tomorrow will help spur on some weight movement, and by movement, I mean off my body. In case I can't check in, hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

6/13 - Sodium bloat plus a little TMI issue (likely from a tad bit of dehydration). Worked outside in the sun all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in triple digit temperatures. No way I could keep up with water. Did my best though and working extra hard to get it all in (and then some) today and tomorrow for the beach. Breakfast is overnight oats. Had perfect amount for today and tomorrow breakfast with none leftover (whew, not being wasteful). Coworkers always ask me to go to lunch so today I told them I'd go as a "farewell" party since 2 of them will be offsite for training tomorrow, my actual last day. Not sure dinner. No word yet on BF job. The VP was still out as of Friday for family emergency leave. Hoping he'll hear today or tomorrow. If not, he's bringing his work stuff to the beach vacation since he only has 3 days to respond and may need to chat with the VP before approval. Good sign, though, that the guy hiring is keeping him in the loop on all this. The way the company works, they won't unless you're first choice for the job. Hiring guy is new to the position so he has to get VP approval before he can offer it, though. After a little snafu with drug testing, I was able to get that done on Friday. Also got SD's eye appointment knocked out. Was able to get the Authorization to work in the US stuff done last week. All that's left is the drug test to come back (should be good, I followed instructions!) and supplying any additional information the background check requires. Hopefully they can get everything before we leave Wednesday. I don't have ALL that stuff in my phone (though I'm thankful I securely saved it in a place I can access it via phone or computer as it definitely made life easier thus far). Think I've caught you all up now. Time for me to catch up on all of you! It'll keep me busy on these long 2 days with nothing to do. I also brought a book to entertain myself
EDIT: Lack of sleep likely also contributing. I'm EXHAUSTED. Only one more night of this, though!

/mowed the grass/ even though my calories were pretty good, there was a lot of salt. Starting to feel the pressure to be in better shape for a trip to the Rockies in July. There will be lots of hiking and biking.

/walked around the blocks/ Well, this weekend was a glutton fest. I didn’t want to step on a scale. Coward. Really did well yesterday though which accounts for the minimal damage.
Shot sporting clays Saturday morning. Had a personal best of 71/100, but best part was a good time with friends. It was a fund raiser for the local food bank. Midwest Food Bank. ( I say local, but they serve all over the US and even in Haiti)

/walking/ I have put in the “old college try” the last couple days and I am seeing a better result.

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.8 -

06/06 …..205.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.0)
06/07 …..205.0 ….. (Trend weight 204.1)
06/08 …..204.4 ….. (Trend weight 204.1)
06/09 …..205.4 ….. (Trend weight 204.3)
06/10 …..204.8 ….. (Trend weight 204.3) Travel today for building supplies. Maybe finally getting more done in the reno? Yay!
06/11 ……205.6 ….. (Trend weight 204.5) All the travel catching up to me? Yesterday was not a bad day at all, even in travel. More travel on Monday and again Tuesday for that heart doctor consultation. I’ve got to move more without getting out of breath to mitigate all the car sitting!
06/12 ……206.0 ….. (Trend weight 204.6) No words. Travel tomorrow and Tuesday. I’ve been traveling so much I have not been able to take my water pill, this may be contributing.
06/13 ……205.6 ….. (Trend weight 204.7) Travel today for my friend’s dr appointment. Also getting in some shopping while in the city. Weight down a touch today but bound to go back up with the travels out of town today and tomorrow. I still need to move more but my breathing remains labored. Tomorrow is my heart doctor appointment. I hope for answers.
06/14 ……206.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.8) A week filled with much car-sitting travel. Chinese last night didn’t help this mornings weigh-in. I’m seeing the heart doctor today (more travel from this rural area). I’m sure he’ll insist on weight loss. Probably just the push I need to get back in control.
06/15 ……xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
