🌺🌼 July Daily Weigh-in and Logging Challenge☀️🌸

@deepwoodslady I am a sucker for snacking too. I find if snacks are in the house, not only will I eat them…I’m drawn to them! What worked for me was to just remove them from the house, unless they were healthy. I also found that I snacked more when I’m bored. When I start to feel an urge to snack come on, I get up, walk around the house/yard, take a walk, or do some cleaning/straightening up around the house. Eventually the urge to snack goes away.

07/08-190.0 - ❌ (Trend Weight: 190.5)

07/09-190.4 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 190.6 )

07/10-190.8 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 190.5)

07/11 – 191.2 ❌ (Trend Weight – 190.6) Well, foodie daughter and DGS showed up this week (weekly visit Thur-Sun) with extra totes of snacks and garbage. I caved on some but not all. Meals were good all day (before she arrived). Snacks horrible. I can do better……

💥💥💥 07/12-DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW) This is going to be a very bad round if I don’t get my *kitten* in gear. Daughter leaves Sunday evening. I’m especially weak this weekend and I need to find my inner strength and resolve. I don’t like seeing that I am gaining back everything I struggled to lose last month. That is just math that doesn’t make sense, but is accurate. Lots of time left in July, Donna, to put a nice size dent in it. Come on, get with the program! I can do this!

SECOND HALF OF THE MONTH:

Well I made a commitment this month to weigh myself first thing every morning. So I thought I would join this group. It will enforce accountability. My goal is simple. Just weigh myself to capture both positive and negative triggers.
7/5- 194 lbs.
7/6- 193.5 lbs.
7/7- 194.5 lbs
7/8- 193 lbs Had a light bulb moment. If you don't weigh yourself every day you are missing the moments when you have lost weight.
7/9- 194.5 lbs yep it's true
7/10- 194.5 lbs
7/11- 193 lbs
7/12- 194.5 lbs yoyo

Goal is one pound a week and 10,000 steps a day 🙂

July 7 - 163.4 Steps - 16257 💃🏻

July 8 - 163.4 😐 Steps - 16481 🚶🏻‍♀️

July 9 - 161.8 😮 Steps 13627

July 10 - 160.4 🧐 Steps 12143

July 11 - 161.4 Steps 17794 💥

July 12 - 161.6 Steps 13855 + I took my Fitbit off at 4:30 to put a watch on that doesn’t track so I think I was over 15000

July 13- 163.2 went to a wedding yesterday. No cupcakes, ate almost all protein BUT I drank a beer and 2 hard iced teas (SUGAR) and this is how I knew the scale would react. If I want to succeed I have got to remove alcohol.

💥💥💥 07/13-192.1 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.1) Horrified! But my daughter doesn’t shove it in my mouth, I do! I prep cooked at 10:00 last night to give myself two very nice diet approved meals. One for tonight and one for the next day, most likely. It should help me get back on track. I just need to get through today and right now, I’m feeling disgusted enough to be strong. Hopefully it will stay that way. I’ve still got time to turn this thing back around somewhat before the end of the July challenge. It’s time to take a good look at myself in the mirror, as Michael would say. It’s time for me to change my ways.
