Check in today.

Thank you, gardenerjoy for hosting the thread. I’ve been catching up on reading how everyone is doing. There is so much positive energy here. I admire how dedicated you all are to getting healthy.
I did something today I haven’t done in so long...I went to the gym. I’ve been in a walking boot for a stress fracture and I’m not allowed to do much. But at least I got there and did something.

So here’s my stats for August:

Starting Weight: 189.3

I thought about doing a NWI day today, as I had to get up 2 hours earlier than usual for a very long day at work, so I knew my weight would be up, but decided to weigh in anyway. Fortunately, it wasn't up too much. I expect to be back down tomorrow, most likely.

Only a little water gain since the 1st. I included the last two days of July here to show that I had one big woosh and then small water gains over the next three days.
I expect another big woosh any day now.
Thank you boatingmommy and Chunka for the words of encouragement this month!
I hope everyone has a nice weekend

Okay - I drank alcohol for the first time in a month last night. Margaritas. And now I feel like SH**! The weight gain didn't show today, but it will get me tomorrow. I should have just said "NO!". I am supposed to be off today, but have one visit with a family this morning. Then I am taking my mother to he St. Louis Arch to see the new museum. I should get some walking in and hopefully enjoy the afternoon. Have a great Friday everyone!

I had a bad, bad day yesterday. I don't know what happened, it's like I snapped. I didn't eat 2, not 4, but 5 slices of bread?! I don't know what came over me. Well, I kinda do, I reached a point where I got so ridiculously hungry that I reached for the first thing I wanted and that was a PB sandwich instead of cooking dinner. I had already eaten my limit of 2 slices in the morning with eggs, so that was already pushing it, but then because I didn't feel full right away I went back for another slice! Ugh.

Needless to say when I stepped on the scale this morning I was expecting the worst, so you'll understand my shock when I saw that I was 184 lbs, a 0.6 lb drop from the day before. I don't get it!

Morning All
 

Today is the first day I feel normal after giving up sugar. I have energy...I am ready to get out there and THANK goodness the headache is gone. I have the day off and my sister in law just went into labor so I'm off to the hospital. Today will be a challenge since I won't be able to prep my lunch like I usually do but I am going to pick up some healthy snacks to keep me on track. And YAY the scale is really moving this week...I am going to enjoy it.

Riestrella - maybe there was something in the air yesterday. I ate a brownie, a doughnut, 4 oreos and a bowl of popcorn. Really neglected all the food groups except junk. I don't think eating a PB&J is that bad in comparison!

Boatingmama - I pretty much stopped drinking a few years back because I always felt terrible the next day. Now I drink very occasionally and make sure to drink lots of water or a gatorade before bed. I don't really miss it.

Goal - 4 lbs

Hi everyone. Nice to see so many people signed uo for the challenge. I haven't done a weight loss challenge since May but I've been more or less maintaining for the past 2 months. Since July I've been concentrating on increasing my activity level. Now I want to challenge myself to try again to lose my last 10 pounds.

My goal for August is 128 (lose 4.6 pounds)

I swam 2 km today, feeling great.

As expected, I bumped up a bit. Damn Margaritas! We are heading to the lake today for some boating. Think I'm packing some tea. Beer sounds good, but not worth the calories or the headache! Happy Saturday, ya'll!
