June 2021.
It's June - I can't believe it.
Where has the time gone?
This past weekend was my birthday weekend and we celebrated Covid-19 style... so basically the same as every other weekend. :) It's all good. had a few meals out with the hubs, dinner at home with the family and a few friends came by for drinks and a fire on Saturday night. Another year older. Yay Me.
So here we are in June so almost halfway through the year so I figured I'd check where I have come from since January.
Weight wise - at the start of January I was 177.5. Last Wednesday I was 170.4 so a 7 lb difference or around 1.4 lbs per month. The January weight would have likely been a bit higher due to Christmas/New Years as well.
So many ups and downs in my weight that I honestly thought I was further along in my journey to get to 155 than that.
I have made some changes over the last 6 months with my food and my supplements and although I do think my insides are healthier, I'm not too thrilled with the changes on the scale.
2 weeks ago I decided to change up my eating a bit. Reduce the number of snacks that I have in a day and see if it changes anything. The jury is still out on the results. I have not yet tested my fasting glucose as I will wait a few more weeks and get a good month in before I test again. The transition to no snacking was not as hard as I thought it would be. After a few days of "thinking" I was hungry during my snack time, I managed to get through them and now I can easily get through between breakfast and lunch and then again dinner, without having to grab a treat.
I have not been tracking my food but without the snacks, I should be in a range of 1000-1500 a day which is good for me.
I'm still weighing every day and see the fluctuations happen. Last Friday I saw 168.4 which is the lowest in a few years so that did get me excited. We will see what happens tomorrow but so far, not looking like it's going to be that low.
You have done really well, losing each month and not gaining it back. That's exciting!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I really thought I was still just maintaining but I did have a bit of a loss in last 6 months. And not gaining is massive!!
DeleteYou are losing!!! That is awesome! Sure, it may not be at the rate you would like, but it is still a loss!!! Cutting the snacks is huge!! Good job!!! And last but not least! Happy Belated Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteYes!! It's not at the rate I want but it's coming off, slowly.. very slowly. Thanks for the birthday wishes. :)
ReplyDeleteLosing anything in the last 6 months is fantastic! Many of us have gained that 7 lbs you lost. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou are right! It is good and after spending most of 2020 just putting on weight, the loss (any loss) is awesome!
