🌺🌸July Daily Weighing and Logging Challenge 🌺🌸

I’m thrilled my weight is still below 200, two days in a row. Makes me believe it’s a real loss.

@Bubbit47 thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a try.

July Start weight: 151 lbs
July goal weight: 147

July1: DNW
July 2: DNW
July 3: 151
July 4: 151.4
July 5: 151.8 *I don't even care since it was a holiday! No breakfast, healthy lunch, and enjoyed dinner!
July 6: 151.2
July 7: 150 *Nice surprise this morning after the way I've been trending!
July 8: 150 *Went running last night for the first time in 3 years. It wasn't great lol. But I did it!

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



Starting Weight (from June 30th): 198.2
Goal: (Five lb Loss) 193.2
Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx


Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.


**************************************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.

07/07-195.6-(Trend Weight 196.8)- Because I stay up so late, if I don’t eat dinner very very late (10 pm – Midnight) I will get too hungry and will end up in a binge. I think the fact that I only sleep about 4 hours per night (leaving a 20 hour eating window) is the biggest culprit but I have never seemed to need more than 4 hours per night. About once per week I make up for it with a 6 hour night usually. So planning my meals and snacks can be difficult. This is how I have been handling it lately: I try to do Intermittent Fasting (if sugar doesn’t drop) making my first meal around 3 – 4:00 pm. Because of IF I usually only eat two meals. Snack about 7-8:00 pm. Dinner 10-Midnight. Snack about 2 hours after dinner (usually 1 oz nuts and 1 square of 90% cacao dark chocolate.) The last snack is pretty close to bedtime but I’m usually getting a bit hungry again by then. The fat content usually shows up on my scale in the morning (like it did today) which is frustrating. I have tweaked and tweaked but my stomach seems to be the boss. I’ve ABSOLUTELY got to avoid hunger at night or it’s not pretty! I’ll literally clean the pantry out! Something I’ve noticed that I found strange: If I haven’t eaten yet (during my IF) I can go without food with no problem. But once I eat my first meal at 3:30 or 4:00 pm, I am hungry more frequently for the rest of the day/night. I also obsess about food more often once I’ve had it. Very weird.

07/08-195.8-(Trend Weight 196.7)- Fluctuation uptick. Trend weight has been looking good. I am on a new personal challenge for myself. It is listed at the top in red. On paper it is very do-able. In reality, um….well…..hmm….

I am not sure how I lost that much this week. I hope it's not muscle loss since I didn't walk quite as much. I am beat this evening because I helped my hubby put up a wood board ceiling in our basement most of the day and used muscles I don't usually use.

Welcome @jsann ! There seems to be so many new faces here this month if I didn't welcome you already I am now! The more the merrier 😊

Here is a picture of the ceiling we were worked on...I will say our basement is big and this is only the smaller half. This picture has an optical illusion...the angle I took it makes it look like the lights are random. They are not. Those lights were a pain, too! I will try and add pictures on the progress we make in the basement improvements.



But I do consider it a NSV that I was able to help. Just 6 months ago that would not have been possible.

@Buckeyebabe7l7 I look forward to future pics of the basement reno. I would love some ideas and pics. I will be redoing my finished basement eventually.........

@buckeyebabe717 great job! great consistency!
