September 2022 Accountability Month - Check-In

Hello!

I just transferred to a new university 5 weeks ago, had an incident where I had to miss a week of class, and worked nonstop for a week to catch up. As it was, I didn't make any time to eat, sleep, or track. Now that things have calmed down a little (in time for midterms!), I am trying to get back on track for the fiftieth time.

Sep 9- 98 lbs
Sep 10- Didn't weigh today
Sep 11- 97 lbs
Sep 12- Didn't weigh today.
Sep 13- 97 lbs
Sep 14- Didn't weigh today.
Sep 15- 96.5 lbs
Sep 16- Didn't weigh today.
Sep 17- 96.5 lbs
Sep 18- 95.5 lbs
Sep 19- Didn't weigh today
Sep 20- 95.5 lbs
Sep 21- 95.5 lbs
Sep 22- 95 lbs I'm wondering how much weight I'm actually losing since I wouldn't have guessed that someone my weight would lose this much this quickly at not much of a deficit. I'm staying hydrated, so I'm pretty sure it's not water loss, but who knows? Come to think of it, since school started, I've been about half as active. I hope it's not loss of muscle weight.
Sep 23- Didn't weigh today
Sep 24- 95.5 lbs Yesterday was pretty awful on all fronts; I'm glad the gain isn't worse.
Sep 25- Didn't weigh today
Sep 26- Didn't weigh today
Sep 27- 96 lbs The awful stuck around. A pound of gain isn't ideal, but it is still my September goal weight, so I'm glad as long as it doesn't go above that. (Then again, I did eat a ton of sodium; I just need to hydrate well today)
Sep 28- 94.5 lbs My body is confused and so am I.

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.

09/28-198.6-(Trend Weight 198.7)-

09/29-199.6-(Trend Weight 198.8)- I am Incredibly bloated including in the stomach area. So uncomfortable. My trendweight website today told me that with the current path I'm on, I will lose my 52 pounds by Dec 29, 2201. No that’s not a typo. Nearly 200 years from now. Talk about feeling hopeless!


09/30-198.4-(Trend Weight 198.8)- The bloat is gone and I’m back down to my true weight. The number shows me I am not making any progress and I know why. Just too many carbs. With no finished clean kitchen yet it is so difficult to cook any meaningful meal. I’ve been relying on a lot of frozen stuff lately. Yep, carbs and sodium too. I just can’t get the handyman to work any faster. Yesterday he worked for 20 minutes, finished what he wanted in that time and went home. Ugh! Remember, we have very limited skilled trade in my area and he is the 4th worker that I’ve hired for this kitchen. He’s my last hope! Anyway, I am down 1.6 lbs for the round. That’s a far cry from my 5 pound goal but it’s something, I guess.

10/01-198.6-(Trend Weight 198.8)- Hmmm….198.6 ……Well, that makes a better temperature than a weight, doesn’t it? Normal fluctuation this morning with no TMI. I went to a fundraiser dinner last night which was in pretty good alignment with my plan. I plan an excellent day today. Lots of in the house movement is expected – I’m babysitting the 4 yr old DGS. I have not made my 5 lb loss in this challenge for a very very long time. Going for it!!!!!
