Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Wednesday July 18

And day 27 of my 30-day no-weigh.

Hot today here. Heat index predicted to be 537 degrees or some such ridiculous number. Anyway, it's absolutely stay inside weather. Which is OK with me because for some reason I feel bleah today - headache, no-touch-ems (where your skin just feels crawly) and advanced "wish I was home in bed". 

Never-the-less, happy Wednesday.

How are you folks today? 

Hope you feel better mom. I get to hang in the shop intervewing techs so I should also be able to stay cool! Yay..anyway, still working off the few vacation lbs. But feeling good.

PS consult on the 27th where I will get marked up and have horrible pictures taken in angles that I do not even want to see! The surgeon feels strpngly though that at least some of the work will be covered by insurance so may not have to wait another year to get rid of these mud flaps after all!

182.4
81.2
18.2

On a side note the morning smoothie seems to be doing its job. I have noticed it also keeps me good till lunch which is odd because not even eggs and chicken can do that. I wonder why? I guess it is the stupid amount of fiber in it. Either way I am not complaining!

Good Mo Eric and Mom and all my OH friends!
123.8
Steady as she blows!

 109.1

Same as yesterday.

129.5

Guess I should have indulged in the gelato yesterday after all... lol jk.

In all seriousness, I think I might up my calorie intake today and see what happens. I'm scared to do it, but I certainly don't think I should go much lower than where I am right now. Gah... Why am I so paranoid?!

Icing my sunburn, drinking some tea and then lunch with a friend before work this afternoon. Should be a good day.

P.S. thank you for all the kind words on my beach post!

I hear ya. I lost too much weight, but really struggled with upping my calories enough. Even though I am lighter than I want to be, I was still afraid of gaining weight. That's actually the reason for my no-weigh - so my body could adjust to the calories without paranoia. And if I have gained a few pounds, that's actually a good thing.

I don't think I've gained, though I feel like I've stabilized. I'm eager to see on Saturday how I've done this month.

 The goal was 145... 15 lbs later, I'm realizing that 130ish might be where my body wants to stabilize. But I'm terrified to up the cals and gain... Head games!

130.0 - 3 days steady. 

In July and August we remember why Florida was once a largely uninhabited, malarial swamp. 

125.8

Stay cool everyone!

137.0 this morning.  Ridiculously cool here--yesterday I wore a wool sweater on my walk and was still freezing.  Send some warm thoughts this way, those of you who are roasting--
