I’ve been hovering between 203 and 206 since late January. Same protein breakfast, same 40-minute lunch walk, lifting twice a week, water bottle basically glued to my hand. The scale would drop to 202.6, tease me, then bounce back by Friday.
Yesterday it read 199.8 and I didn’t cry or cheer. I just stood in the bathroom with wet hair, wondering if it was real or dehydration. Today it held at 199.6. I know one dip isn’t a trend, but my brain needed a visible crack in the wall.
The grind is still the grind: logging, sleeping, not eating my feelings at 9 p.m. For those who got under a big round number after a long flat stretch, how many days did it take before you trusted it?
