06/14 - 113.2 -

06/15 - 114.2 - Nice week so far.

06/16 - 113.8

Week 97 - 06/17

Weight this am - 114.6

Ending out the month and my 2nd 'year' on a good note.   I'm going to do a comparison post for 24 months on the meds.

This past week was Hell Week and then Opening weekend of the show so I was mostly focused there. Good week though in terms of being where I need to be.   
Off BP meds altogether.  

Week 95 + Prior Week Recap

 Prior Week Recap

05/28 - 116.0 - obviously it didn't stay there.

05/29 - 115.0 - decent

05/30 - 114.4 - that's a bit more where I want to see things

05/31 - 115.4 - still decent

06/01 - 115.6 - decent

06/02 - 116.6 - seriously?  It went up for doctor appointment day?

Week 95 - 06/03

Weight this am - 115.0

That's better.   I'd still really like it to shift down just a few pounds to stay comfortably within the 110-115 range.    Doctor has taken me off BP meds entirely.   Said he doesn't recommend spacing out shots for weight maintenance but I can trial going every 10 days if I want.    We might also explore the pill version in future if it's covered by insurance and something they would be ok with longer term. 

Week 94 + Prior Week Recap

 Prior Week Recap

05/21 - 116.0 - why couldn't this have been yesterday.  sigh

05/22 - 116.0 - still slightly above where I want to land permanently but definitely good

05/23 - 115.4 - that's much closer to where I want things

05/24 - 115.8 - decent.  Went swimming at the neighborhood pool today.   Need more of that

05/25 - 115.6 - good

05/26 - 117.0 - expected jump after having Burger King after rehearsal

Week 94 - 05/27 

Weight this am - 114.0 - Well I didn't expect THAT!   That's awesome.   Maybe it can stay here for the foreseeable.   I want it to settle inside this range.   Although I'd like to actually hit closer to 110 before I switch to maintenance mode.  

Week 93 + Prior Week Recap

 Prior Week Recap

05/14 - 114.4 - well it's fitting to have 4's on the 14th...LOL

05/15 - 113.4 - Well then, that's something

05/16 - 114.4 - good

05/17 - 115.6 - wrong way but ok

05/18 - 116.0 - what the heck

05/19 - 116.2 - seriously?

Week 93 - 05/20

Weight this am - 116.6 well damn.   Not at all what I was hoping for.    I want to settle in at between 110-115 not go up above that, especially while on the meds.    That's where I was after I had Rowan and after I had Arietta so I'm comfortable settling in that range.

Well, it's not a 115...It's better.   Way to jump right over the milestone...LOL    So this week I had my highest weight since April 4th (a month ago) and my lowest official weight on weigh-in day.   Weird week.

Week 86 + Prior Week Recap

 Prior Week Recap

03/26 - 118.4 - Good.  Maintaining well.   I hope the increased activity as we head into tech week bumps me down a bit more but overall I'm quite satisfied.    Yesterday was a great walk day and we bought Mark a motorcycle

03/27 - 117.6 - Holy Crap!  That's amazing.   I updated my MFP goals to 117 and set that as a new mini-goal.   

03/28 - 117.8 - These numbers are wonderful.  

03/29 - 118.4 - Expected.   We had spaghetti late last night so I expected this

03/30 - 116.2 - What.  The.  Actual.  Hell!?!   Amazing!   Obviously that mini-goal went by super quickly!

03/31 - 118.2 - I expected the re-bound.   But what a low to end the month on.   

Week 86 - 04/01

Weight this am - 118.2

I will take it!   I was hoping for a wee bit more to end out the month but I'm completely happy with this.  Full HELL WEEK begins on Friday so we'll see what that does.  I AM down from last week so overall this has been an incredible week.   Got to ride on the motorcycle.   We bought a small pool for the backyard. Saw my middle kiddo and Mark took them for a spin on the bike.   Really good week.
