Better weigh-in than expected!
Shows what I know. I was thinking "Ate fast food salad Saturday night.", skipped some meals, didn't eat veggies with every meal, was getting a little lax with prompt food and exercise logging, didn't exercise as much and what do you know... maybe my body needed a little rest.
Yesterday's weigh-in at 219.6 was a pleasant surprise!
Today's weigh-in was even more pleasant, though I suspect that is simply a water issue. Pool workouts seem to suck me dry... and that's even with drinking 20 cups of water yesterday! The hydration percentage difference on my Tanita scale was telling. Yesterday, 35.9%... today 35.0%.
Still, it feels good to be tasting the 2-teens!
Here's the calorie per day breakdown for the curious:
Monday = 2141
Tuesday = 1825
Wednesday = 2243
Thursday = 1581
Friday = 2436
Saturday = 2358
Sunday = 1681
Total of 14,265 for the week.
What I aim for weekly is 14,700, i.e. 500 cal/day deficit. Probably explains why I was so hungry yesterday!
With a road trip coming up, my aim is to enjoy myself, but hopefully in a moderate fashion so I don't totally destroy my recent progress.
Nice work! I know what you mean about "tasting" that next threshold. I have been dancing around mine for a weeks now. thanks for the post!

Those thresholds are brilliant when you cross them! Well done. I've got one looming too.

@Andrew, Metroknow,
Well... today I crossed in the other direction, so very brief "taste". No reason, my eating was very good yesterday. But I think my body is rehydrating after the pool workout Monday. I'm hanging around 220... but that's still better than last week.
@Jessica,
I definitely need to post more eating days! It's been hard finding the time, but I plan to do that, because I know people get curious. I always like to know myself!
Today so far, 6 egg white/1-omega3 egg omelet with reduced fat swiss and assorted veggies plus a tangelo.
Smoothie of blueberry tea with fat free cottage cheese, vanilla PP, blueberries and an ounce of cashews. YUM!
Next... heaven knows. In my housecleaning pre-road trip frenzy, forgot to thaw any chicken last night. Out of salmon portions! Probably herring snacks w/spinach as a salad, LOL! Emergency food rocks!
@Heidi,
If I don't think positive, I'd go spare, LOL! I do think that my general outlook is better when I am eating healthier.
Great job Cynthia! Congrats on the "two-teens"

Wow Cynthia! Wonderful Progress! I have been chillin', destressing. I am getting ready for another go.
Miss ya!

Thanks John and Kelly,
Progress reversed over the weekend, sigh. But it's got to be mainly water, so I will try to not stress. It's just the same old, get back on track game now.
I have to admit, I had fun over my weekend, even if it means I must post an absolutely horrible weigh-in.
