Where did the month of may go to!?
It's been a whirlwind. Lots of celebrations this month, a few vacation days sprinkled in and not much to report in the weight loss department.
I started off May in the mid 170s and with the known celebration dates in the month, I fully expected to end the month in a similar position or possibly worse!
I also had a surprise visit from Aunt Flo mid cycle... so that caused some serious unwanted/unplanned bloat!
On Tuesday 24th of May, I weighed in at 179.4!!! Uh...no thanks. Way too close to get back to the 180s. It scared me because I had vacation planned that week, my birthday and a 25th anniversary party. All in one week.
I still had the bulk of celebrations in the last week and I was determined to not enter the 180s for June!
My plan? Intermittent fasting 20:4 and making sure I was eating enough during my eating window. Lot's of protein and fat!
My birthday weekend involved a few slices of cake, a few drinks and a bunch of dinners out but I managed to keep within my plan.
Today, June 1st - I weighed 174.2.
Not bad. I will take it.
Going to continue with the same plan for the next month as we have our main summer vacation planned July 2-9th. We are going somewhere warm so there will be shorts and bathing suits.... and likely bad choices with food and drinks!
Would love to lose a few more lbs in the next month but I will be happy if my weight stayed the same and did not get higher.
One month!!
Awesome job with making a plan and sticking to it! I have been intermittent fasting for 12 hours, thinking of extending the fasting period. I keep reading about all the benefits of it, in addition to weight loss.
ReplyDeleteJune is off to a slow start. This week I broke the gaining cycle. I just kind of gave up for a while. This week I squeezed out a small loss of .2 pounds. I really need to just do it.
