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.

07/21-188.0-(Trend Weight: 188.5)-

07/28-189.2-(Trend Weight: 189.5)- Its been a horrible week weight-wise. A little travel and a lot of lack of willpower at home. Something needs to change. It’s something in my mentality. I’m burned out I think and I’ve got to figure this out. More travel tomorrow, several hours each way to medical appointment. Dinner will be out. That just doesn’t help although honestly I’m looking forward to it. This year I have lost some weight in Jan, Feb and May. The other 4 months have been Epic Fails. I know I can do better. I also know that it’s not the occasional travels, outing or occasions that are getting me. It’s my daily habits at home. Usually those are spot on and easily make up for the social days. Not lately! I’ve got to get back in the groove. My final weigh-in will be in 3 days on the last day of July for a full accounting of the month.

07/31-188.4-(Trend Weight: 190.3)- I’ve started to turn it back around but am out of time for this month. I guess I’ll have to start August chasing my own tail. Eventually I’ll catch up to my starting weight and hopefully surpass it. Great job to everyone for showing up and working so hard on those changes. All good paths lead to success. See you in the next round.



Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
