A new low. Welcome to May. Spring is in the air today. Our high temp is supposed to be 66 and tomorrow 72. I had a feeling yesterday that I would see good things on the scale this morning and I did. Yesterday I was up to 195.4 with a pound plus gain. Today, I'm down 2 pounds for a new low at 193.4 I will soon see 57 pounds lost. I determined this morning what I would need to weigh to be at the halfway point in my weight loss program. 62.5 pounds lost. I have 5 pounds to go to be halfway to my goal. Excited? Yes, I'm excited. This has been a long journey. It isn't over yet, but I'm almost halfway there. Yes, I'm late getting here this morning. I got a rare 9 hours of sleep last night. I also took a shower and put the new blankets on my bed, so my bed is made for the day and my window blinds are open to bring in the sunshine. My Bible study is finished and now it's time I eat before I'm hungrier than I want to be today and looking for everything in sight. It's also payday today, so all my bills are paid. I'm planning to go shopping for food today. I don't need a lot, but getting what I'm out of will help my meal decisions this month. I'm planning on lentil soup today and I need some ingredients to make that happen. However, breakfast first and notifications before I do anything else. I'll also have yesterday's food and exercise numbers later. How did May start for you? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

You have done so well in your weight loss! What was the catalyst that first started your weight loss journey?

I need knee replacement surgery on both knees. The doctor refused because of my weight. He suggested bariatric surgery. I opted instead to lose weight and found a program to help me do so. I started with Whole30. I'm on Paleo now, which is similar to Whole30.

Once you pass the halfway mark, hopefully it will all be downhill.

I'm glad your new low was the weight loss I didn't know if was temps or depression or something else. I've gone up a few pounds but needed to get back to my keto diet which I quit doing a bit this week. I had to restart some meds which caused weight gain for me on the past but that was before keto so I'm hoping it won't cause it again this year.

I plan on it. I want to see my current goal achieved - 190 so I can make a new goal.
