This week was a gain when all the dust settled - 1.6 pounds up. At one point I was 1.8 pounds down. Today's weight is the highest of the week. So a 3.4 pound flucuation. That is a lot!
What do I learn from this? To start with I went back to my nut excess. I think I have that piece back under control again. The first 4 days of this week I ate significantly over in calories (see nuts!!) Although I ate less the following 3 days the gains came in those days - so eating extra didn't show up until later.
The plan this week is to return to my steady way of eating and the result I expect is to lose at a slow steady rate again.
For the month of July- it was a month of extremes. I lost the first and third weeks 1 and 2 pounds respectively. However I gained week 2, 4 and 5 - 0.8, 0.4, 1.6. Net result is overall loss of 0.2 pounds for the entire month. Shows up again that it isn't really about the losses it is managing not to gain! I would have lost 3 pounds if I had held steady for the other 3 weeks. Sobering thought!
This week has been about prepping the outside of my house to get ready for stuccoing. I got most of the siding off of the house and garage. My first worker started yesterday - so I have all the bobcat work is done- one line trenched, 3 holes drilled for footings and one big area for pilings and a cement pad for the deck extension plus moving two big piles of dirt off my front yard. More to come in the next week and then a week off and the stucco lady comes to do the house. She should finish early September! I am very excited!

Sounds like a lot of work to do! Stay hydrated and once it's done, I hope you can get a nice massage.

Your analysis seems on point. Nuts would be a problem for me too. Are you getting enough protein?

Got hungry this afternoon. Looked at cashews which I love. 170 kcal/oz, more than half in fat. I passed and waited for dinner. About a pound of veggies + 4 oz of lean turkey = 176 kcal, 7% fat, 37% protein.

Nuts are my cryptonite! I always try to sneak a few more on the scale!! ☺☺

Oh...I wanted to mention that I noticed when I have a bigger loss, then fluctuate and it ends up being a small loss in a month, BUT I've had a lot of physical activity (like your home remodeling for instance), that I've lost something in inches instead!!! I prefer losing in inches much of the time- it has nice rewards! 😉

Liz Andra I have made a point of drinking lots of water. Yesterday I was inside but my worker was digging holes. Terribly hot 90F. I suggested that he come super early this morning to beat the heat. I expect him shortly.

Sarah- I will look at my protein intake. I am counting on rice and beans to make the protein for me. I haven't been eating meat for months now - occasionally if I go out but not habitually. I might should be looking at tofu and other protein sources.

Eral 66- Nuts in general are crazy fat content. Almonds, cashews and roasted peanuts seem to be the best nuts at 80 calories per 14g (or 0.5oz). Pretty darn high!

Draginfli- I agree that big losses often lead to a rebound on the scale. I try to aim for 1 pound a week so that I avoid the big up and big down moments. This month that didn't happen! Inches are the best!! Clothes fit so nice when that is the case.
