59Carol's Journal, 27 July 2024

I want it to be said that I really really wanted to log in yesterday's weight! It would have shown a 0.2 pound loss. Instead I am logging in a 1.2 pound gain. I had to tell myself that the point of doing this was accountability and not the number I publicly admit to. I am only fooling myself when I am dishonest in my recording. Man, it can be hard.

Yesterday I was on track until the last two hours of the day. I ate salt water taffy and some cheese slices. Those added up to 350 calories. Doesn't take much.

The other six days I ate within my zone and was modestly losing (that .2 pound loss!). It wasn't coming off as easily as the week before but that wasn't surprising since I lost 3.4 pounds last week.

Today I am traveling 2.5 hours to a wedding. That means I am eating lunch on the road, a wedding supper and breakfast and lunch on the road coming home. I will need to be mindful of my choices.

Last week went well. I met with a government official around government Women Shelter policy, had a massage, prepped for next month's casino, met with my outgoing renter and made arrangements to get the house ready for the next renters. I have a friend/artist who is beginning some landscaping around my house. He will likely be working for a couple of weeks to get it all done. It is exciting to see it taking shape.
212.6 lb Lost so far: 55.9 lb.    Still to go: 42.6 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

I think it's ok to log your lowest weight of the week. That's what I've always done. And I do it in the morning, before eating, after BM, same clothes, etc to reduce the random variables that contribute to daily weight fluctuations on the scale.

I do the same thing as far as morning, before eating etc. I think how and what we log is more about consistency. I have consistently logged my Saturday morning weight. When I look at my progress, I know that is what I have done. If I were to log my lowest weekly weight then when I look at the trends I know that is my pattern. In the end it will show the actual trend either way. However mixing it up and doing it differently one week to the will skew the data!
