MY PUBLIC JOURNEY
Body Progress Journal
I am tracking where I start and taking this one day at a time.
This is where I am documenting my weight, body measurements, progress photos and thoughts along the way. I am sharing the good days, the difficult days and everything in between.

It's clear my body is starting to excrete the excess water weight. I know this because I peed soooo much yesterday and it was not proportionate to my fluid intake.
I'm proud of myself as I didn't eat badly. Had no junk food. Ate 2 meals. Decided to start off breakfast with oatmeal as opposed to making oatmeal the last thing for breakfast. I think I will continue doing it that way and see what happens.
I also drank a decent amount of water. It was lemon infused. I went on the walking pad for half an hour after my second meal.
For breakfast yesterday I had bull foot soup and oatmeal. But I started breakfast after 12. For lunch I had tuna salad (whole grain pasta and mixed veg) and a few small slices of avocado.
I'm taking note because I want to see what makes my body hold on to water weight and what helps it let go.
For sure I had my tea too. That's a given! Should've had two instead of 1 though.
Will try to eat well today too. Let's see what the scale looks like tomorrow.
I'm really keen to figure out what made my body hold on to so much water that it jumped by 5lbs overnight a few days ago. I will figure it out.
Learning what my body likes and doesn't like is becoming intriguing.
BODY CHECK-IN · AUGUST 16, 2026

Pizza and wings were the order of the day at Poker After Dark last night. So I shouldn't complain that the scale has gone mad. No excuses.
BODY CHECK-IN · AUGUST 15, 2026
204.6 lbs
I was so frustrated seeing the scale go up this morning! I couldn't bring myself to update it right away. Esp because, except for the 4 bags of tamarinds balls (lol), I ate pretty decent yesterday.
Then I started spiralling during the day today and ate almost a big bag of chips. Then I started feeling frustrated and annoyed at everything, because of my lack of discipline.
But here comes my ex just now asking about my journey. I told him I'm done with updating this and he sent me a slew of voice notes cracking me up. LOL!!! The perfect motivation.
So yeah I'm back on track. Not hopeful about the scale tomorrow given all the chips I ate. Plus tonight is Poker After Dark, so I'm pretty sure I will be eating a lot of pizza.
There's simply no way I can lose this weight based on diet alone. Will absolutely have to do cardio. No skipping ropes on island so I ordered one. As soon as it gets here I will be burning this fat like no one 's business.
Thanks for the motivation, sir! :-)
PROGRESS PHOTOS
Seeing the changes for myself
I will add photos here so I can look back and see changes that the numbers may not show.
ONE DAY AT A TIME
I do not have to be perfect. I just have to keep going.
I will update this journal as I go.
