215.5. No change.
My last egg-grapefruit day was two weeks ago. Almost time for another, I think. If my weight stays steady for a week (that means until Wednesday, 8/2), I'll do one. Actually, I'll do one on Tuesday, 8/1, since my gentleman caller will arrive on 8/2.
The exercise at this gym I joined will have its effect soon, too. I'm sure I'm retaining water to wash out the lactic acid that is built up in my muscles (geez oh man am I sore!). Once that process stops, the water weight will come off. I'm gaining muscle mass, too, which speeds up metabolism somewhat and is healthier and looks better than the rolls of fat.

Weighing In 7/27/2017
215.5, no change from yesterday.
I did my first VENT Fitness class last night ... an aquacize class. It was fun! Today I'm stiff and sore!
The VENT Fitness in Clifton Park doesn't have the pool; had to go to Guilderland for that. Well, from home the two are approximately equidistant. I'll use the one in Clifton Park for weights and treadmill and like that; the one in Guilderland (I have a membership with access to all four; CP, Guilderland, Niskayuna and Latham) I'll use for their water and rock-climbing wall.
They have this cool O2 bar; you sit for 20 minutes breathing oxygen that runs through whatever flavor or combination of flavors you want to smell (I smelled wisteria, fruit mix, and another mix last night; I avoided piña colada since I don't like coconut). It's not a very strong scent, but it adds a little something. You breathe it in with a cannula (you have to buy the cannula, which makes good sense; it's all of $5). Next time, though, I'll bring my phone and read a book while I breathe.
I have my setup meeting tomorrow afternoon; looking forward to it!

Weighing In 7/26/2017
215.5, down 0.75 from yesterday's 216.25.
And down 40.5 pounds from March 15.
Reward time!! 40 pounds is HUGE. I've lost the equivalent of a five-year-old child. I'm going to the opera with my gentleman caller on 4 August, and he's coming here before then, so I'm getting the furniture rearranged and the upstairs cleaned up. But that's preplanned, so that's not my reward. My reward will be ... hmmm.
I think I'd like to join Vent Fitness. They have swimming and rock-climbing, and I can use the Wellness debit card to join up. And they have a facility right on the way to work!! Getting good exercise. That's my reward.

Weighing In 7/25/2017
I didn't weigh myself yesterday, but today is 216.25, down 0.5 lb from two days ago.
That works for me!!
My husband, who died in December 2014, bought me PILES of new clothes over the five years we were together. Most of them fit my then-current body; some, though, were a size or two too small. Those smaller clothes still have their tags on them, if you please, and THEY NOW FIT!!!!!!! I'm wearing new clothes from my hubby again!!!!!!
How cool is that!!!

Weighing In 7/23/2017
216.75, down 0.5 from yesterday.
In 0.75 pound more, I will have lost 40 pounds. 40 pounds gone since March! Only 60 to go!! I'm almost halfway there!!!!!
And I feel good. I have energy, my mood is positive, I look at the world through happy lenses. Yes, I have aches and pains ... those come from being in my 60s having carried all that weight around since I was 34. Too many years. Well, woulda coulda shoulda; I'm doing something about it now.

217.25, down 0.25 from yesterday.
Waking up this morning, I felt my ribs. I actually felt my ribs. I haven't felt my ribs in eons. I can't feel them when I'm upright, but lying down ... I have ribs!!!!!!!!!

Weighing In 7/21/2017
217.5, down from yesterday's 219, and I broke the forever plateau of 218.25.
Nothing like an egg-grapefruit day to break through a plateau!
Today will be sensible; smoothies (spinach, apple/pear, protein powder, 100% cacao powder, cinnamon) for breakfast and lunch, then I'm taking the kids to a Japanese restaurant for dinner. And, of course, eight glasses of water!
I have space to exercise!! The kids took the Ashley bed that Jim bought us, so that little room is currently entirely empty. It will, very temporarily, be my exercise room since the TV is still in there, and the TV has a DVD player associated with it. So the exercise stuff ... the yoga mat and the NordicTrack ... will go there until I put the new bathroom in when my Uncle Jim's estate FINALLY distributes.
