**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

07/13-197.0-(Trend Weight 200.8)-

07/14-197.4-(Trend Weight 200.5)- Scale (only 1 yr old) with new batteries (2 weeks ago but admittedly cheap ones) decided to go bonkers today. I must have weighed 18 times. If I lean forward enough I could weigh 195.X . If I move the scale to a whole different room, I could weigh 200.4 . Most of the weights were in the 197’s. That feels most right to me because I ate right up to my 1400 calories yesterday but my final food was at 2:00 am when I was starving and feeling weak. Luckily I had calories to spare. In case I decide on a new scale sometime soon, does anyone have a good recommendation?

07/15-198.2-(Trend Weight 200.3)- Okay, what’s going on??? Scale did not seem wonky today. Is it the healing from Covid? Still testing with one solid line and one very faint line. Feeling so much better! I have been CONSISTENLY a perfect dieter (lately). Hitting macros perfectly. Staying under on calorie and carbs. Glucose has really improved over this past week of following the eating plan. I’ve even increased the exercise after feeling better (and not having handymen here all day). Last night I danced to 5 songs (23 minutes) last night! The only other thing I can think of is that I’ve been trying to do some fasting overnight/morning and it’s pushing my meals out much later than usual. Dinner has been really late the last few nights. I’ll try to readjust it all and see what happens. I am still a bit worried about my scale, it was crazy yesterday and I don’t think I got the same reading twice. However, today, it seemed back to normal. I will keep watching that too. Handymen will be back today, but I’ll still try to fit in some movement. Of course, I will wear my continue wearing my mask during any direct contact for a few more days. My trend weight is still going down, I’ll take it!

07/16-198.8-(Trend Weight 200.1)- This is getting scary. Another huge jump up on the scale. Again, I stayed under calorie, under carb, met my macros wonderfully. I fit in 50 minutes of walking including inclines in two sets and I did some gardening and plant transplanting. I continued to log every bite. The only negative is that dinner was very late (after 11:00 pm) due to an unexpected phone call from an old friend in Tennessee. Scale was consistent with several weigh-ins. I don’t get it. I understand I am healing from Covid. I guess my weight drops were due to sickness, even though my appetite was fine and I at all my calories and carbs then too, even in the worst of the illness. Interestingly, my fat percentage has been staying the exact same and my trend weight continues to go down, even after several days of “gains”. Hmmm…..

July 5 - 164 (Busy work day but I got away at lunch for a walk with my husband. After supper and some TV we went out for another walk with our dog. Lots of steps again today.)

This afternoon I have a party at a corporate tent for Stampede and then we go to the grounds for a concert. Will be a late night and my exercise will all be getting my steps.)
July 12 - 161.8 (Busy day to navigate yesterday. Worked from the office, went to a tent party for Stampede at 3, and then we went to the grounds for a concert. Didn't get home and in bed until midnight. Had one food choice I made for a cost savings reason than my waistline - you live you learn.)
July 13 - 161.2 (Kept indulgences to a minimum at my work party yesterday so I was in good shape to come home and ride the Peloton.)
