    @39flavours and @tishawj - Thanks so much for welcoming me back! :) I hope you were well, while I was away. I am glad to be getting back to some kind of routine! It is kinda hard, when you've been out of your routine, for awhile... <3

    Good Morning

    My why
    I am playing a game with myself & setting little daily goals of losing 0.35lbs per day and using those goals to help me stay motivated and on track is a way of fasting that I saw in another group. Using my bathroom scale as a weight loss tool works for me. There are days that my weight increases by 2 pounds or more, and I understand that this is mainly water weight, and can go away as quickly as it came. That is why there are times that my daily goal and my weight that day are pounds apart. I am not expecting to lose 2 pounds of body fat by the next day. But it is possible to lose 2 pounds of water weight by the next day, so I stick to my goals. If it takes longer than one day to lose that water weight, I extend my fast for another day. Sticking to my plan, I will reach my 1st goal weight of 172 pounds on September 16 2023. This will put me in the overweight weight range which I have not seen since 2007. At that point I will decrease the daily amount to 0.2lbs per day to get to my ultimate goal of 140 by my birthday in February. I also have a cruise booked for my birthday & one of the tours offers a mini photoshoot. What a great opportunity to be at my goal & get semi professional pictures on the beach!
    I did an extended fast on April 9th that lasted almost 9 days. That got me back on track after Easter.

    5/22 Goal 215.3 /Actual 216.7
    I love it when a challenge ends at the end of a month & starts on a Monday. Just the push I need to accomplish something this month. I will cook ahead today. I entertained thoughts of fasting or even one meal a day but the next 10 days are the busiest days of the year for me so I will weigh/measure/pre portion my food so that I am getting the nourishment that I need. I will control the extras & take morning & evening walks with the dog. This will be a great 10 days!
    5/23 Goal 214.9 /Actual 217.4
    Jeepers Crow! I really didn’t eat much yesterday but I did have 3 coolers throughout the afternoon. We had a great day getting flowers & cleaning out the pond. I logged everything but obviously the sugar & alcohol did not do me any favours. Today is a new day, it will be a busy one. I started with 10 sun salutations (my compromise since I can’t get to yoga right now) and will take the dog for a morning & evening walk.

    5/24 Goal 214.6 /Actual 217.6
    I really really need to fast. I need the mental reset as well as the weight loss. I am going to eat super low carb for the rest of the week & then fast on starting on Thursday. I should be fine to work & fast through Friday & then I am home the rest of the weekend. I get crabby when fasting & I can’t be crabby at work when we are busy. It is already chaotic, stressful & both physically & mentally draining. I think I have a plan. Now I just have to put it into action!

    5/22 - 155.9
    5/23 - 154.3
    5/24 - 154.5 - Little fluctuation, nothing major. Crunchwrap copy cat worked well, I'm proud. I didn't end up eating both I had pre-logged which was even better. Ended up a little frantic in the evening and was late to bed but I got a dress in that will work perfectly for the wedding on Saturday (plus it fits without making me look like a whale) so I'm happy. Had to run to the store last minute after dinner to get BigBro some slacks and a belt for graduation. Then his shirt was horribly wrinkled so the iron came out. I went full mom mode on him. Borrowed a tie from BF (with his knowledge) and all set up! Storms came through this morning so a little late to go run but wanted to be sure they were gone. I see blue skies so I'm headed out for that. BF is delayed 7 hours (ugh) so he's not going to be home in time for dinner anymore. I'm so frustrated with these flights. Every single time. Oh well, at least he should be home tonight.

    Previous Day's Comments
    5/22 - And back down a bit. I'm shocked to be down, though. I gave into ice cream at lunch. Then, later, realized that the dinner I was making (upon request) was super calorie dense and I'd be over by a significant amount. Fortunately the rain stopped perfectly for me to get a walk in with the pups to not only meet step goal but to reach maintenance (versus surplus). Rain started up again immediately upon getting home and unharnessed. I'm feeling bloated and heavy this morning but overall okay. I didn't run, BF was up and it triggered the dogs to go crazy. I was wide awake from 220-330am and then tossed and turned from then until 615 (I tried to allow myself to sleep in a bit). I'll run tomorrow and debating the rest of the week's runs. Wednesday is pizza (it keeps well enough for a late dinner for BF when he gets home from business about 7-730pm) but Thursday is Thirsty Thursday and likely eating out with StepDaughter and LittleBro once they arrive for the summer. Friday is graduation for BigBro and likely eating out but lunch may be normal (meal prep) as BF and I still have to work. I may just run Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday as Saturday is wedding but not until afternoon. I'll have to shower Saturday anyway, perfect excuse! I'm about to shower real quick to get ready - BigBro needs me at his appointment to verify address for drivers license change and I feel icky and gross from my morning walk (muggy out). I'll pedal on the bike (gently, no sweating after shower!) while I work until my morning meeting and then I'll meal-prep lunches for the week during the meeting.
    5/23 - Glad to see my work pay off. I fasted until about 1pm as I was in town until then. I even got my license updated as there wasn't a long line for walk ins after BigBro finished his stuff! (it still said I needed contacts or glasses which I don't anymore). Dinner was a healthy pasta primavera recipe for 2. I did manage to make my garlic ginger chicken bowls (with bell pepper and broccoli) during my morning meeting for yesterday, today, tomorrow, and Friday. I've pre-logged all my breakfasts (either fasting or protein shake), lunches (except Thursday for Thirsty Thursday), and dinner for today and tomorrow. I've decided running on Saturday is too risky (if we stay out celebrating graduation I might not wake up in time or feel good enough) so I'm running today, tomorrow (to offset homemade pizza), and Friday. Thursday I'll wake up and, pending weather, will walk the dogs and hop on the bike to get some movement and burn in before everyone wakes up. I also plan to fast until lunch Thursday to help. I think I've got this week all settled out after a lot of writing, erasing, re-writing, and repeating hahaha I'm more likely to succeed if I plan while in a good place mentally than have to make last minute decisions, especially if I'm hungry or tired - eat whatever is easiest and likely junk or skip the workout - nope! We eat the healthy pre-made stuff and do the dang planned exercise.
