Day 31 Stevensville MD USA CNFD

Weigh in day still only 1/2 a pound down after second week of fasting hard ugh.

June will be a tough start as we leave on Sunday for Duke University where my husband starts his first injections in his Clinical Trial. That means hotel and eating out for 3 days. Must try and stay mindful.

When the world says Give Up, Hope whispers, Try It One More Time.

Have a great day everyone.

Day 31, UK, FD

Last day of the month, last effort to hit target, ready for another successful month. I am confident for tomorrow’s weigh in, and hoping that June is as good as May. Despite having many binging days and meals out I nailed almost every FD of the month and managed to achieve my weight loss.

Today I will stick to a skinny cappuccino for breakfast, a 200cal soup for lunch and a very light salad for dinner, as well as going for a 5k walk in the evening.

Not feeling any difference on clothing size yet but definitely lost some volume around my belly and bum.

Bring on sunny June!

Day 31, VA, USA, FD

losing weight and sleep – check out this (self observed info) so I WF on Tues, Wed, to Thurs night dinner. I took a weight reading before bed and then one when I get up b/c I am curious how much it changes. (As a note I take the reading after my nightly pee and after my morning pee to be consistent)
The -# lb is how much was lost during sleep (or during the time I was suppose to be asleep)

Mon -0.4 lb
Tues -1.8 lbs
Wed -2.0 lbs
Thur -0 that was morning reading after being awake all night
Thur -1.8 lbs after I passed out for a 4 hour nap

Remember these readings are all during a Water Fast (although on Tues evening I did have a veggie broth and vegges) and still the number went down during sleep.

And you can see when I was just laying in bed – not sleeping the number did not MOVE at all. So I have a feeling sleep and stress both mess with our weight greatly. So be kind to yourselves and try to get good sleep. (Easier said than done, I know)

Last nights dinner was good and I even enjoyed the dessert. Everyone else LOVED the dessert I made. Oh my gosh, I got so many compliments on it! I had enough to pass out an extra chocolate chip peanut butter bar to everyone. I was somehow able to control myself from going crazy on these pinwheel cream cheese things. I had a couple and then had some bites of spicy kimchi. The kimchi was awesome and VERY spicy!

Sleep was better last night. Oh thank goodness, I mean really any sleep was better than no sleep.

@jaifaim – nope not one bit of shut eye. I went then and somehow taught the hardest yoga class I’ve taught in a while (like my shoulders were sore) then came home and took a much needed NAP! Thank you for being our host!

@betsylee – good on the -0.8kg that is about -1.7lbs down! I teach a class that thanks the parts of the body that we struggle with the most. I often hold my belly and thank it for doing the best it can with what it is given. It helps me change my perspective and embrace my body for this journey.

@gretta – It is good to reflect on how the number isn’t the only thing we focus on during this WOL, I too skipped out on the treats from the plane AND felt better because of it. Learning to make better choices is part of fasting.

@ciren2 – of course you are part of the family now, there is no leaving this group.

@snowflake56 – I appreciate the journey of maintenance and how it is just as real as trying to get there in the first place.

@daffodil2010 – May was my B-day month, I had a mental plan. I would indulge in just a bit of a treat and cocktail (and I think having it in mind before hand helped) I would hold out and celebrate more on DH big bash (especially if you plan on having some kind of social get together)

@missybear – don’t regret or fret, just reset. 😉

Day 31 USA (Illinois) NFD

@jaifaim – you have been oh so terrific here! Thanks ever so much for keeping our legacy going with these challenges!

On to JUNE! Wow!

Onward and downward.

Day 31 second post

Woop woop! Unexpected FD to see out the month! Didn’t eat until friend came to tea, then made a gf keto chocolate and blackberry mug cake with berries and vegan yogurt on the side. All delicious and just realised it was only 180 calories. Yay!

Going to have a lightweight supper of under 600 calories and laugh all the way to my morning 1 June weigh in. YAY! The wonder of mindful eating. All it took was a little prep to think through the mug cake. Chuffed as bunnies 😀

End 🙂

Day 31 + 1
Frustrating and disappointing end to June. I did everything right yesterday, or so I thought, I was patting myself on the back as I was heading for my first WF. 8pm came and I was out of the house but found myself in a petrol station filling up the car after a long day driving and succumbed to the sweet isle, aaaaaaaaagh!!!!! The scales are not happy either so my self indulgent April and May have to stop and I need to kick my brain back into this WOL. Thank goodness there is a June reset!
@jaifaim thank you so much for being our wonderful host for May you’ve been perfect, ta.

@penz – thank you so much for jumping in for June.

Wishing all a flaming successful
June.
Ta ta for now.

Final post for the month of May
Didn’t reach my monthly goal, but did lose, so that is a win. Thanks to @jaifaim for your hosting. I usually manage to read posts but don’t feel like I have much to add.
