GW 145

Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 - 177 - fluctuating between 175 & 177 - big BBQ on Sat. I have leftovers for a week. :-(
8/22 - forgot to weigh in this morning. :-( This will take some getting use to. I ate left overs yesterday but managed to stay within my calories intake. To much bread though. We got these awesome buns and I don't want to waist them. I am thinking about trying not drinking for a month. Sept is pretty quite. I wonder if I can do it. 50 min of walking and 60 squats
8/23 176.6 I did okay with eating today. Even though spaghetti for dinner. Company again. 50 min of walking. 20 leg raises.
8/24 176.8 80 squats 50min of walking and W1D2 C25K
8/25 176.4 Mom is in the hospital - Ulcer issues?
8/26 175.2 BBQ and company all day. To much junk food and drinks.
8/27 176 went hiking this morning. I'm almost at 12k steps on and is only 1:00
8/28 177 TOM started yesterday. I am so tired and sore today. Moved 2 dryers yesterday up and down stairs plus went hiking 5k. I'm sure feeling it today. Oldest daughter called me yesterday saying she has been kicked out. Expects to move in. I said no, feeling bad. More stress. Ugh! Started eating junk.
8/29 177.6 No sleep last night. Too hot and all I can do is worry about my Mom and daughter. Mom is still in the hospital. No word on what is happening yet. They wanted her to sign a DNR form. She asked them if she was that sick and they said no. So then why would they ask her to sign one? She didn't sign it. Missed out on doing C25K again. I need energy for that. I'm thinking nap when I get home. If I can sleep. It is another scorcher today.
8/30

Don't worry about them wanting the form. They just need to know everybody's wishes if something happened. It may be called the "DNR" (do not resuscitate) form but you can fill it out either way. It could just as easily be called the "do everything you can" form because that is one of the choices. Best wishes to you and your Mom (and your daughted, too).

I’m in! Thanx again, Cyranda!

Round 8/1: HW 274.4 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
Round 10/3: HW 269 LW 266.4 MidW = 267.7
Round 11/4: HW 267.4 LW 264.2 MidW = 265.8
Round 12/5: HW 264.8 LW 261.2 MidW = 263.0
Round 13/6: HW 263.8 LW 260.6 MidW = 262.2

My goal for this round is to have recovered from my eclipse-weekend stay-cay with friends from out of town.
8/21 264.6 -- I’m creeping up the last few days due to taking a logging vacation while friends are in town for the eclipse. They leave later today so starting tomorrow, it’s back to the new normal.
8/22 266.0 -- We saw the totality through a break in the clouds BUT four days of eating with wreckless abandon has sure packed pounds back on. I know some are water but some are probably truly “recovered poundage.” Back to counting & measuring today.
8/23 266.4 -- Oh, I see, the scale is going to be ugly about it. Anyway, yesterday was a nice, easy, within calorie limits day. The is an interesting experiment.
8/24 264.6 -- Okey dokey, starting to go back down. Made homemade pasta last night and a single egg batch is now two meals worth rather than one (4 servings rather than 2). That’s an improvement for both of us.
8/25 262.6 -- It’s going to take more than 3 days of TDEE-500 to recover from 4 days of reckless abandon but I’m getting there! It’s been surprisingly easy to eat within limits again.
8/26 262.2 -- This now matches the mid-weight of last round. Aiming for the low-weight of last round.
8/27 261.8 -- Trust the process ...
8/28 261.4 -- Getting there ...
8/29 260.2 -- A new low!! The damage done over eclipse weekend is undone! CICO!!

8/30 259.2 -- Hallelujah! Ending the challenge with a brand new 2nd digit!

Well, this was a wild ride! I’ve learned it takes at least a week to recover from 4-days of eating with reckless abandon!

8/28 182.0 Noooo!! Being sick plus TOM is a bad combo for me. Way to much eating snacky type foods and not tracking. I just hope I can get back into the 170's at this point.
8/29 180.0 Keep going down...
8/30 178.5 loss of zero but I'll take it.

I've been losing and gaining the same 3 lbs since March. 173 is my lowest, I just so want to see the 6's again.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/21-176 Ate Mexican food out for the last 3 nights. Wonder why I gained 3 lbs back?
8/22 - 175. I knew some of this was just sodium. But I DID run 2 miles last night.
8/23 - 175. Did some weight lifting and went for a walk. Stayed within points. Its a win for today.
8/24 - 174.8 I'll take it. Stayed under points, ran and did yoga.
8/25 - 174.4 still the right direction. Took a rest day. My body was complaining. Back to working out today.
8/26 -174
8/27 - 175
8/28 - 175.8 - so seeing my problem. The weekends are doing me in! I can do great all week, just not enough schedule for me to stay on track. I need to plan better beforehand. And maybe have a 1 or 2 beers less.
8/29 - 177.7 - sigh
8/30 - 174.4 Ok, not where I wanted. But lower than I started.

This has been a very good Challenge for me. I look forward to logging my weight everyday and seeing how others have done. Thanks!!

8/21 -131.5 stable. That's good. Long walk around the lake through the hills and then to the gym. I had an eclipse gathering at my house today. Hopefully not too much damage.
8/22 - 131.1 love the trajectory. Hopefully I can keep this up and reach 130 by the end of this challenge.
8/23 - 132.1 Not really sure what that is about. Although my logging has been a bit haphazard. I am hoping it goes away as fast as it came. And I will be better about logging. Taking responsibility.
8/24 - 131.8 still not doing a decent job at logging. Working out ok. I think mindful eating but who knows without logging. Tomorrow is another day. And 6 more days in this challenge. I remain hopeful & determined!
8/25 - 131 woohoo!!!
8/26 - 130.1 not sure how that happened. And don't expect to stick. But I will take it for now and behave. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
8/27 - 130.6 I am happy with that. Did my 5 mile run this morning. And had a hearty breakfast, that should take me into the afternoon. Trying to keep the momentum going!
8/28 - 130.5 Holding steady! Would love to see a steady 130 at months end. I can feel it!!! Off to the gym I go after my 3 mile walk with my dogs. I am motivated
8/29 -131.3 hopefully it'll be back down tomorrow. Sometimes no rhyme or reason (or so it seems)
8/30 - 132.6 UGH!!! Completely self imposed! Went to a sports bar and ate sports bar food and here is proof! Hopefully it won't stick. More importantly, I hope I will not falter in Round 15.

My goal for this round is to continue to keep up with my hydration. I would also like to work on my flexibility, so I'm going to stretch for at least 5 minutes a day.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/21--227.2
8/22--227.0 Tonight I am flying to see my parents. I was contemplating whether I should bring my scale, but I decided I will. I'm still not sure if I should bring my food scale or not. I am sure the 5 hour flight will show up in my weight tomorrow. I forgot to stretch yesterday, but this morning after walking the dog I did my stretching.
8/23--228.6 I know this number is not accurate. Between the water retention from the flight, the fact that I have had less than 4 hours of sleep, and the fact that my scale is at a different location, I'm not surprised that the weight is up.
8/24--226.1 Another weigh in at my parents house so not sure if this is a true loss loss or not, but I will take it.
8/25--225.9 Went to the rec center near my parents house and did my weightlifting yesterday. Also did my stretching. Going out for dinner with friends tonight so I expect a gain to show up tomorrow.
8/26--226.6 Went out for dinner last night. Just got back from the gym and returning home today. I was impressed with the fact that during my four day trip to my parents I went to the gym twice, stretched every day, and, other than for yesterday, I ate at or near my calorie goals.
8/27--229.2 Ugh. A part of this is from the water retention from the flight and the fact that I didn't drink a lot of water yesterday. I also didn't plan for the almost 9 hours of travel time, so I ended up eating candy while waiting at the airport and then coming home and eating when I really wasn't hungry and now I'm feeling a little gross. So, today I am just getting back to eating as usual today and getting back on track. It will be interesting to see the scale tomorrow.
8/28--228.8 I was still feeling gross yesterday, so I lspent most of the day laying on the couch watching tv. I also didn't drink as much water as I should of. I woke up today still feeling heavy. Today it'sback to my normal schedule.
8/29--227.5 Feeling better today. Back to my normal eating and keeping myself hydrated. It's shocking how easily your body is affected by bad eating when you start eating more healthy.
8/30--225.9 I usually try not to get too caught up on the daily changes of what the number is on the scale because in the end I can't control what the number is going to be every day. I can only control what I do. However, I have to say I was very excited when I saw this number on the scale this morning because it just helps to validate all the things that I know are true, but sometimes hard to internalize when the scale isn't moving as quickly as how I would like it to. As someone on this board keeps saying, you have to trust the process.

Weight loss/gain for this round: -0.7

I'm in! This is my very first round!!! Hoping to break my plateau that I've been in for about a week. Got to 168 but have been hovering around 170 the last few days...

Goal for this round: <168


Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 - 170.2 -frustrated that I'm hovering at 170 the last few days. Though after a weekend of being a bit looser on my diet, it could be worse.
8/22 - 170.0 - at least there's some progress even if it's small. Actually a bit surprised since I went over my cal count last night. I did well for most of the day but caved in to chipotle tacos for dinner. I'll do better today!
8/23 - 168.8 - yes! That's more like it! Was below cal count yesterday and went to a zumba class! :-) going to try to go to the gym again tonight. Maybe work on some strength training.
8/24 - 168.0 - alright! I'm hoping to break 168 before the end of the week. Haven't gotten below that yet. I was under calorie count yesterday (though over on fat). Went to gym and burned 200 cals doing various cardio exercises (stationary bike, treadmill, elliptical). Also worked on arms. Overall a good day!
8/25 168.2 - was slightly afraid to check my weight today. I stayed under cals yesterday but had pasta for dinner and didn't exercise. A bit sad that it went up slightly, but not the worst. May not make my below 168 goal this week, but maybe by the end of the round??? Going to go try a pilates class today.
8/26 - 168.2 - I guess 168 is the new hurdle. seemed to have gotten past 170 (knock on wood). At first I was annoyed that there was no movement but I caught a glimpse of myself wearing shorts in the mirror and...starting to see (very small) definition in the legs. I still feel sore from pilates yesterday too (the good kind of sore). Celebrating the small victories!
8/27 - 170.2 - nooooooo! not super surprising though. Had a big breakfast yesterday then wine and fries later in the night. I paid for it...
8/28 - 169.6 - let's keep moving in this direction...yesterday I went swimming but ate those cals back. Now that it's Monday, I can get back into my routine again. Weekends seem to be tougher.
8/29 - 168.4 - keep it up body! I did well yesterday! Managed to stay well below cal count :-) Starting to figure out that small snacks throughout the day seem to work better for me than meals. Going to try to get to the gym tonight!
8/30 - 168.0 - well, not a new low, but at least I ended on a good note. The scale totally teased me this morning and flickered really quick to 167. One day I'll see that number! Maybe next round?

8/21 - 177 - fluctuating between 175 & 177 - big BBQ on Sat. I have leftovers for a week. :-(
8/22 - forgot to weigh in this morning. :-( This will take some getting use to. I ate left overs yesterday but managed to stay within my calories intake. To much bread though. We got these awesome buns and I don't want to waist them. I am thinking about trying not drinking for a month. Sept is pretty quite. I wonder if I can do it. 50 min of walking and 60 squats
8/23 176.6 I did okay with eating today. Even though spaghetti for dinner. Company again. 50 min of walking. 20 leg raises.
8/24 176.8 80 squats 50min of walking and W1D2 C25K
8/25 176.4 Mom is in the hospital - Ulcer issues?
8/26 175.2 BBQ and company all day. To much junk food and drinks.
8/27 176 went hiking this morning. I'm almost at 12k steps on and is only 1:00
8/28 177 TOM started yesterday. I am so tired and sore today. Moved 2 dryers yesterday up and down stairs plus went hiking 5k. I'm sure feeling it today. Oldest daughter called me yesterday saying she has been kicked out. Expects to move in. I said no, feeling bad. More stress. Ugh! Started eating junk.
8/29 177.6 No sleep last night. Too hot and all I can do is worry about my Mom and daughter. Mom is still in the hospital. No word on what is happening yet. They wanted her to sign a DNR form. She asked them if she was that sick and they said no. So then why would they ask her to sign one? She didn't sign it. Missed out on doing C25K again. I need energy for that. I'm thinking nap when I get home. If I can sleep. It is another scorcher today.
8/30 176.8 It has been a bad week lots of stress. I hope the next round goes better.

Aim: To never rise above 195 ever again!!!

8/21 - 196.4 (Full disclosure, I'm quite bloated today, I ate too much salt and calorie-high food yesterday... I was 194.6 on the 20th. So if there's a big drop tomorrow it's not real weight loss. LOL)
8/22 - 197 Ok, so the bloating was a bit worse than I thought! But I'm being a good girl.
8/23 - 195.8 Yay moving in the right direction!
8/24 - 198.2 Ok, so this was a slap in the face, but I deserved it. I let myself go completely wild yesterday... Sugary foods for breakfast and snacks, Thai food (pasta) at lunch, & All you can Eat Sushi for dinner. I was 3000 caps over the limit even after my half-hearted workout. Today I will make a change and be good.
8/25 - 195.4 Yay!!! Being a good girl pays off!!! All bloating is now gone. Anything I lose from here on out is weight!!! I hoping to see 193.8 BEFORE these 10 days are over!
8/26 - 193.8!!!! I'm over the moon happy right now!!! Got on the scale 3x to make sure it was real!
8/27 - 193.8 Holding steady!
8/28 - 192.6 Unbelievable! I'm so happy right now! I was a bit over my limit yesterday because we ate out but I kept my portions small and it seems to have paid off!!!
8/29 - 192.8 So my scale bounced all over the place today. I usually get on twice to make sure it is a consistent number. Today is was sooo different that I got on 5x and it was never the same number! I'm wondering if there is something wrong with it. Anyway. I recorded a number that seemed the most consistent and realistic. It's still low! So I'm happy.
8/30 - 193.4 I messed up bad yesterday by ordering Chinese food. I'm hoping that this is just water weight and that I will see 191.8 before my birthday this weekend!
