4/11 - 168.3 4/12 - 167.7 4/13 - 169.4 4/14 - 167.7 4/15 - 167.3 4/16 - 167.3 - No change but that is okay. I think this is a more accurate representation of where I am currently, with some lower body DOMS (and the associated water weight I face with that) and having drank 90+ oz water daily to finally flush any…

4/11 - 168.3 4/12 - 167.7 4/13 - 169.4 4/14 - 167.7 4/15 - 167.3 - Another drop. I found out about a death in the family today and managed to stop myself at one singular girl scout cookie. Progress. It did put me 3g over my buffer on carbs for the day and right at my 10g buffer on fats but I'm okay with this, all things…

Well, turns out (in my lack of instant pot knowledge) the one I got was a Duo and it only came with the air fryer lid. I ordered a replacement pressure lid for it and it is set to arrive this week. So nothing so far! But the plan was chicken and rice which I ended up cooking on the stove top instead.

4/11 - 168.3 4/12 - 167.7 4/13 - 169.4 4/14 - 167.7 - Yesterday's uptick was courtesy of date night at our local Japanese restaurant we always go to. No matter what, I always retain water and bloat a bit. Glad it dropped off quickly, though! I did well trying to make mindful choices Saturday although I did not meet macros.…

4/11 - 168.3 - I'm not sure why I'm up a tad, I feel better today. I do have a bit of bloat and can't quite identify what's causing it, though it seems improved from yesterday, at least as far as feel and look goes. BF wanted to do dinner at home since he'll be home late from travel - no early release today! I'm giving my…

I'm here again! Thank you, as always, @quiltingjaine

I've given up hope that my weekly trend (check-in tomorrow) is lower than last…

There's more to drop, but I'm content with this progress. My tooth has been fixed, it…

4/01 - 166.8 4/02 - 166.6 4/03 - 167.0 4/04 - 166.8 4/05 - 168.0 4/06 - DNW 4/07 - DNW 4/08 - 169.6 - Not pretty, but it's the fact I must face from this weekend. I'm still feeling really bloated and heavy and I know it takes at least 2, but more often 3+ days for me to see something like that drop off, both the scale and…

4/01 - 166.8 4/02 - 166.6 4/03 - 167.0 4/04 - 166.8 4/05 - 168.0 4/06 - DNW 4/07 - DNW - I binged on ice cream last night. Real milk ice cream, too, so I'm all kinds of bloated and feeling ick from my lactose sensitivities. Oops. I don't know why BF leaving felt so awful so suddenly after he left, but I definitely ate my…

Saturday was a blur - I ended up going to my VFD meeting but BF decided to skip his CVMA meeting. We also didn't end up going to the kid's birthday…

4/01 - 166.8 4/02 - 166.6 4/03 - 167.0 4/04 - 166.8 - Back down I head! I'm glad I've grown to weather these ups and downs without too much frustration - I know if I stay diligent, it'll eventually trend downward. And it is! My app has lowered my calories/macros a tiny but but I went ahead and changed it from low carb to…

4/01 - 166.8 4/02 - 166.6 4/03 - 167.0 - I'm guessing this is because I did not drink my water yesterday. I know I managed at least 60 oz but I don't think much more than that. Oops. I'm back on track today and hoping that's all this is. Plus last night's dinner was the frozen meal option I got so there may be some sodium…

4/01 - 166.8 4/02 - 166.6 - This was a nice surprise since I woke up feeling a bit puffy today and not near as light/lean as yesterday. I'm sure that has to do with how exhausted I feel. I did go to the gym but compromised by allowing myself to skip a couple exercises and take it easy. My body was telling me to slow it…

4/01 - 166.8 - Wow, not at all what I was expecting this morning. I'll take it. I went over on carbs a bit with a sweet tooth. I had a single mini peanut butter cup from Quest - higher protein, less sugar but still pushed me over my 10g buffer on carbs. Oh well. Today I have a snack and dinner left but I'm feeling…

I'm in again, thank you so much @quiltingjaine <3

Feeling good despite this uptick - it's from pizza last night before BF left for the week for his 3 weeks of training (and he took the remaining pizza with him, yay!)…

I went ahead and checked in today and it increased me a tiny bit - 1g protein, 1g fat, 2g carb increase so nothing…

I'm definitely feeling lighter and leaner today, too, proving my theory of water weight/bloating as the culprit of the last few days increased scale readings. Had a bit of a hectic day.…

3/22 - 168.9 3/23 - 169.1 3/24 - 169.0 3/25 - 169.5 3/26 - 169.6 - I'm not entirely sure. I do feel bloated and crampy. Must be TOM-related. This weather is also horribly crappy. I usually love the rain but for some reason the pressure changes are awful and causing my ears to pop and then I'm feeling super drowsy. My eyes…

3/22 - 168.9 3/23 - 169.1 3/24 - 169.0 3/25 - 169.5 - TOM is arriving in the next day or two so I'm up from that. Also re-hydrating. I don't think I've released all the water I've been holding on to after a week of being at least slightly dehydrated every day. BF wants to drop back into our alternating keto (every other…

Hi Friends! Sorry I've been absent. My business trip went well, though long and tiring. Then I come home to back-to-back-to-back events that kept me busy. I feel like I haven't had a chance to stop and rest! This week will be all about getting back into my routines since travel and events really disrupted me. Luckily I've…

3/12 - 167.6 - Dropped off a bit more of the weekend and that may be the last of it. I've been doing really well this week with macros with the help of some volume eating that has left room for snacks. Having the ability to have a balanced snack when I'm feeling peckish rather than trying to wait until my next meal and…

I'm feeling pretty good this week so far with my food. I've figured out a breakfast that keeps me full enough and adding in coffee a touch…

Friday I got groceries, ran some errands, and took the dogs out for a walk at the riverwalk to socialize them a bit since it was…

3/02 - 167.6 3/03 - 168.6 3/04 - 166.9 3/05 - 166.7 - Still dropping. I'm okay with that though I fear once this settles out I might be dropping too fast and risking some muscle. The app has already shown that it's adjusting daily based on the feedback but it won't adjust macros/calories until Monday. I think I'm going to…
