Weight this am - 135.8
I'm so thrilled. That makes my average this week lower. I've seen under 136 again now which is fantastic. I definitely really want a loss on Wednesday but this is great.
Today we should be starting on tilling the back so we can start creating a bigger back porch/patio. We need more room out there to sit and enjoy the outside when the weather permits. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished.
Hopefully I also get to go and hit the pool today. We'll see how it goes.
Weight this am - 136.2
Now if it would stay here or actually go down for Wednesday that would be exactly what I need. I really need official weigh in to match or be lower than my drop to 136 back on the twelfth. It's been long enough. I should've matched that drop officially by now.
It's dark and sleepy outside today.
Weight this am - 138.6 136.6
Had a bit of a scare this morning. I got up earlier than normal and I guess I ate late/too much salt the night before. I hadn't seen that number in weeks, since May 11th to be precise. I would up going to bed since my plans got cancelled and the corrected number is what I saw when I woke back up. Just goes to demonstrate how weight can change over the course of one day. I did record the first one originally but I always take my lowest weight in as my daily weight.
I'm ready for a loss on official day as well. The hover is lasting too long for my taste.
Weight this am - 137.2
Aaarrgghhh.
At least I saw a new low this week but I'm very much not a fan. This is about as close to a plateau as I've gotten so far on this journey....other than the very end of 1.7...and even then there was more fluctuation. I definitely need to switch things up. Going to pull down the treadmill and get a walk in every day...plus add in some exercise videos.
Kickstart things.
Weight this am - 137.2
Out with Arietta today. Picked up some lunch, some wine, and fun things from Joann's
Trying to stay hopeful for tomorrow
Weight this am - 137
Up again. Not surprised. It loves to do that...as if the weight was just too much of a shock. Right now I'm hoping to equal or even slightly surpass last Wednesday. I've had a bit too much hovering for my taste and I don't want a gain on official day. That means we are pulling for 136.6 or lower this Wednesday. We'll see.
Need to get the yard work done today since they are calling for rain this week. That puts a pause on our deck plans. Ah well...it'll be what it is.
Weight this am - 135.0
!!!!!!!
Mini-Goal accomplished. WOOT! I needed that. I'm so thrilled.
Today should be relatively low-key. Going to do a reading for someone. Then it's probably mostly just resting, maybe pool. Possibly start the patio project but that's more likely to be tomorrow.
Weight this am - 137.0
It's doing quite the hover. I'd really like a new low.
Went to see Twelfth Night. Really fun production. Got to hang out with a bunch of people as well. We also did the fence and went to the pool Great day.
Weight this am - 137.0
Went into town today. Got some good steps in walking all over the museum. Great day.
Weight this am - 136.6
Not the drop I was secretly hoping for but at least it IS a drop. Only down 2.4lbs this month but I did lose inches so that's something. I'm a little surprised with all the yardwork I added the past couple of weeks but maybe that's muscle building...which would make sense with the loss of inches.
Oh well...down is down and slow and steady wins this race. I'm hoping to hit 135 before the end of the month (crossing fingers for this week) so I can update my mini-goal and hopefully see the 120's in June.
Here's hoping.

Holding Steady. I would dearly love to see a drop tomorrow. ANY sort of drop. Even if it's just 0.2. Just to come in below last week. We'll see what happens.
This is the end of this box and with the similar streak the past few days I don't hold out much hope of a real drop, but I'd like something this week. I know last month was a larger loss but I would really like to be a bit closer to 3-4lbs in a month.
We'll see.
Weight this am - 136.8
Should do one more mow today of half the yard. That means I need to move things and then move them back. We should also talk about where to plant the berry bush. Should start on the inside as well...and then we need to look into starting to till the ground so we can set the patio.
I'd like the weight to drop a bit for Wednesday. I'm really hoping for at least a little loss (although I would really like to see it hit 136...that would be my real hope.
Weight this am - 136.6
Better.
I'm hoping it goes down just a little bit more before Wednesday. No new low so far this week either.
Party was great. Rowan stayed over. We did some grocery shopping today. Then we mowed and string trimmed the rest of the yard. We also bought a blueberry plant.
Tomorrow I need to re-mow half of the back again and it will all be caught up. Then we can start tilling the area for the patio. We also want to start on the house.
I feel good
Weight this am - 137
That's more like it. It can keep going that way so I can get another loss this month. Seeing 136 on Wednesday would make me very happy. Seeing anything under that any other day this week would make me ecstatic. I want to see a five SOOOO BAD
Going to get onto a bit more yardwork this morning. Get the rest of the bricks moved, clear the far yard, and hopefully string trim the front. That's the goal. Then we have a graduation party to go to tonight for Atlas.
Tomorrow we are looking at doing the rest of the back and side yards (mow and string trim) Then the work will be caught up outside and we can focus on just maintaining and start work on the patio extension.
Weight this am - 137.8
You can stop this right now. No more uppies. I am NOT ok with going back up, thank you very much.
Today was yard day. Part 1 that is. Got the stones pulled out of the one half of the yard. Moved all the miscellaneous stuff (grill etc) to the far side. Mowed side one of the yard twice and then string trimmed it. It's so much better.
It was SOOO HOT outside though. So Hot.
Welcome to Pre-Summer in Texas
Weight this am - 137.6
Of course it's the rebound. But it's still under 138 so I'll take it. Other than my walk today is mostly resting.
Weight this am - 136.8
YES. I needed that. If I can drop anywhere between another 1 to 2 lbs by next week's weigh-in I will be right there in the 3-4lbs a month average. I will take it.
Yesterday was fun. A bit less walking than I wanted but that's fine. I need to work on mowing the back yard this week...it's bad. If I can get that under control then I can just do maintenance yardwork. Hopefully that will all help with my exercise goal. OH...I need to add yardwork to my "walking"
Weight this am - 137
I'll take it.
Heading into town today with Arietta. I think it's Natural History Museum Day. It might be too hot for the zoo. We'll see. I'm looking forward to a day out with my kiddo.
Weight this am - 136.0
Yesterday was amazing and wonderful. I drank a bit too much but that's ok as well.
And today, I got this gift. I've really been needing a drop like this. Even if it goes back up for a minute that's fine...because I have this now and I know that I'll get back to it. Now I'm off to check off some boxes!
Weight this am - 138.4
Going on an adventure today. We have some plans but those plans might just change depending on weather. It's ok though. I'm not tied to anything specific. I just want to go out and explore.
It looks like our original place is under the weather. (haha) So we have made some adaptations. We are going to wander to a historic site and then a winery...and maybe get beef jerky on the way home.
I'm really looking forward to this.
Weight this am - 138.8
Urgh, back up again. I could really use some more dips. I was hoping for better, especially after me two walks yesterday. I even broke 22,000 steps. It really feels like that should've had an effect.
Hoping to do more over the next couple of days and actually see a real result. I'm very tired of the same numbers.
Weight this am - 138
I'm thrilled. I'd love to see this trend stay. If I can hit anywhere in the 137's this next weigh-in that would be awesome.
Walk this morning with Lauren. And I have another walk scheduled at 11-ish with Lise. I am also hoping to do some yardwork this weekend and then round the week out with walking downtown on Tuesday.
Crossing fingers that the weeks stays the way I want it.
Weight this am - 137.8
Apparently the blockage cleared - or whatever the hell was going on. New Low! Woohoo. I'll take a few more days like this and a Wed Weigh-in with a new number please.
So much better. I've been needing this. Now to go check some things off of charts. I absolutely love *New Low* days.
Weight this am - 139
AARRRGGGGHHHH. Dammit. I'm not ok with this. It needs to stop. Stupid hover.
Hopefully I'm just mildly constipated and I can erase all this later on today. We'll see....but for now I am frustrated.
I need the scale to go down every week...or at least not go up.
At least my highest weights this week were lower but damn. I've got 2 more weeks in this month for real progress to happen.
Weight this am - 138.2
It's been a rather flat week. The good news is, my highest weight is lower than last week. But I didn't get a new low and my weight has been doing a hover (138.8 - 139.0 etc) I had only a couple of weights outside of that (138.2 - 139.2 and today I got a gift of another 138.2. If that weight shows up again tomorrow I will be Sooooo Thrilled. Anything under last week's check in will be awesome. (Although I am seriously looking forward to seeing 137 and moving further away from the other decade)
Today I'm taking a friend to her ketamine appointment. I will probably hit my Dr and pick up my samples as well. Not sure what I'll be doing otherwise for 2 hours but it's Tomball so I'll find something.
Tomorrow is Mark's last weigh-in for his first month. Looking forward to seeing how he's doing.
Weight this am - 138.8
Sigh. I really need the scale to budge a bit. This is frustrating. Coming up on the end of Week 38 and I haven't seen any real change in the numbers. I'd like my weigh in to at least be a bit lower than last week.
Got a lot done yesterday (Power wash, Car washed, Flowerbeds weeded, etc). Maybe today I'll mow. I really need to see some kind of drop.
Weight this am - 139.0
GRRRRR. I really want to see a new low. I know I should be celebrating being in the 130's. And I know that after a decade drop there tends to be a reset. But I really love my "new low" moments and I rely on those every week. And a new low would give me another box to check off. I'm really ready not to see that progress. What I need to do is start doing things that will accomplish that. It still feels like I'm in overwhelm mode.
This week. It's time to start things.
Weight this am - 138.2
It couldn't drop just 0.2 more and give me my new low, could it? LOL. That's fine. Maybe tomorrow.
Completely forgot yesterday to pick up my Wegovy from CVS. I HATE when I do that. We're picking it up today.
I'm really hoping to see a new low this week....That's one of the highlights of this journey. I'm hoping for at least 138.0 although I would LOVE to see something in the 137's. We'll see.
Weight this am - 139.2
Tonight we went out to the theatre. Mark and I took my Mom, Peter, and Arietta out to dinner at Ruggles Black and then to The Alley to see Baskerville. This is "the presents for the year" day out. We've covered all the holidays in one outing.
The food was incredible, of course. The play was excellent. It was absolutely hysterical and the actors were just brilliant. Just Phenomenal.
What a great day
Weight this am - 138.8
Stable reading. I'm waiting now for a new low. I'd love to see 138 this week, that would give me something new to check off on my charts.
Today I have to call the Dr office or message the Doctor and find out what he wants to do about meds since Amazon doesn't have Adthyza. I need to call Hermann Memorial about a follow up appointment. I need to work on cleaning out the car. I need to work on straightening the house. I need to make gazpacho. I think that's it.
And I'm just tired. yawn.
I have scheduled my appointment, called the Dr Office. It's just cleaning and cooking left.
