R39: AW 219.86
R40: AW 219.18 (-.68)
I use my average weight for my weight loss. I am not making a weight goal for this round; instead my only goal for this round is to reach 10K steps for 7/10 days. Steps: 6/10
R40: SW: 218.9
Day/Weight/Comment
5/18--218.4 Back to my lowest weight so far this year. Kettlebell tonight.
5/19--218.0 Got home after kettlebell and realized I had walked less than 5k steps. So after I ate I took the dog out and got in the rest of my steps in. Really have to work to get my water in on the weekends. Going car shopping today!
5/20--217.5 Surprised about the drop. We'll see if it sticks. Got my 10K steps in again yesterday, same thing as the day before where I had only taken 5k steps before having to take the dog on an evening walk. So, today what I did was take the dog on a long walk in the morning and I have gotten my 10K steps in. Working on water today.
5/21--218.0 Not surprised about the rebound. Did not get a lot of water in yesterday. Kettlebell tonight and probably another walk with the dog to get the rest of my steps in.
5/22--217.3 Did better with water yesterday, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bounce back again tomorrow. Decided not to go to kettlebell last night, just didn't feel like it. Instead hung out with hubby and dog and we all went for a long walk in the evening and got my steps in.
5/23--217.8 Normal fluctuation. So far I've weighed in below my starting weight every day. Did not get my steps in yesterday, chose not to go for an evening walk instead did some work around the house. Kettlebell tonight and will go out for a walk later tonight to get my steps in.
5/24--218.0 So sore this morning after tough kettlebell workout last night. Definitely retaining some water. Yesterday after I came home from kettlebell I had some dinner and then took dog out for a walk to get my 10K steps. Making sure that today I get my water in.
5/25--218.0 My knee was feeling a little off yesterday, so I didn't go for a walk last night to get my steps in. It still feels a little sore today, so not sure if I will be go to kettlebell tonight, but I will get my steps in today.
5/26--218.2 I've eaten about 2-3 hundred more calories than usual the last two days, still below my maintenance calories, and I see how the extra food is causing increased water weight. Trend is still downwards and so far my average weight for this round is hanging on in the 217's. Got my 10k steps in yesterday. Going for a short hike this morning, so I will be able to get my steps in early today. Going for a swim and then running errands and doing some work around the house. As it's the weekend I have to make a conscious effort to get my water in. Depending on how the weather is today there will also be some BBQing and hanging out with the dog outside.

Day/Weight/Comment
•5/18 - 200.2 -slight uptick in weight this morning. Restless night and my buddy is back, fluid retention. I already need a nap.
•5/19 - 199.8 - That .8 still hanging on
•5/20 - 199.2 - I probably weigh a little bit under this number, but I drank water before stepping on the scale. My husband and I went to his Aunt's surprise 80th birthday celebration yesterday evening. It was after 5 pm when we got there. I eat my first meal at 2 or 3 so I wasn't hungry. Had no desire for cake or the godiva chocolate bars given out as favors. I gave mine to my DIL. I sipped on my lemon water and thoroughly enjoyed seeing and talking with family members that I haven't seen in years.
•5/21 - 199.6 -I can't blame the increase on sodium, because on keto you need sodium. I think I can pin it to electrolyte imbalance, specifically magnesium. I had cramping in my calf muscle down through my foot last night. It woke me up and I had to walk it out. I haven't had my electrolyte water for over a week. I'll be drinking it today though.
•5/22 - 200 - I weighed at 5 am, holding on to a ton of water. I usually weigh at 10am. We had a joyous family occasion to celebrate this past Sunday, but today is a somber occasion. My BIL passed last week and today is his funeral.
•5/23 - 199.6 (8am)- 200.8 (6am) - This is how much fluid I retain. That's 1.2lbs!and still holding fluid, but I can't wait until 10am to weigh, I need to drink some water now. 6 TBS of peanut butter later...smh. I was so tired yesterday. Feeling much better after some uninterrupted hours of sleep.
•5/24 - 199.2 - I didn't even think to weigh myself before having coffee. This morning was just off routine.
•5/25 - 199.6 - Mmm, seems my body likes 199.6 and 199.2 this round. BTW, This is the first time that MFP'S 5 week weight projection (199.5) has been almost dead on accurate. Usually I'm ahead of it. I got in the habit of keeping track of it to see how I measure up.
•5/26 - 197.6 - It's all good.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18: 170.2; Went over my calorie goal with high carb foods but did try to make smart choices throughout the day and drank lots of water. Glad I didn’t gain.
5/19 169.4; drank lots of water yesterday but went over my calories with high carb food and beer (yay Friday) I had a little more self control than last weekend though!
5/20 170.6; I went to Zumba yesterday morning! I also ate a bag sandwich for lunch and chipotle with chips for dinner and didn’t even get 64oz of water in. I need to do better on the weekends food wise.
5/21 170.8; stayed under my calorie limit but didn’t drink all my water. I think I gain the water weight 2 days after poor eating choices. My new weekend goal is to just maintain. Which means less junk on Friday and Saturday nights.
5/22 168.8; stayed close to my calorie goal yesterday, and was VERY hydrated. If you stick to the plan the water weight will come off... eventually! Lol goal for the rest of the week is to have some self control and stay around the 168s.
5/23 169.6; stayed in my calorie limit, drank lots of water, and did T25 yesterday. I did eat pizza and chips for lunch and it’s probably water weight from the sugar and carbs from 2 days ago.
5/24 168.8; did pretty well with my eating and water yesterday, yay me! NSV: we have had lemon pound cake in the house all week and I’ve only had 1/2 of a slice so far!
5/25 170.0; idk how this happened. Was under my calories and met my water goal yesterday. Oh well!
5/26 169.9; ate horrible yesterday, need to stay hydrated today so numbers aren’t as bad tomorrow!

I figured I'd be up after a weekend visiting family. My hands are visibly swollen from water retention too. I feel like crap. I'm going to work on eating better, feeling better, and getting back to my exercise routine this week and see if I can recover from this weekend.
5/23 157.0
Had a good run last night, and drank lots of water all day. Im going to keep it up. I would love to be back to where I started by the end of this challenge, but Id be happy if I at least continue to head in the right direction.
5/24 155.6
I'm happy with this. I hope it sticks. I am continuing to drink more water and track everything. Not to bad considering we have family in town.

5/18: 135.6, enjoyed a nice date with wine tasting and 1/2 of a thin crust pizza. Well worth the salt blowup.
5/19: 134.8, a little under my daily minimum calories and macros too fat heavy. Very busy at work yesterday and a sick dog all last night. I'm curious to see how my energy level will affect my appetite and cravings today.
5/20: 134.2, been putting in a lot of work hours = lack of meal prep and cooking. Eggs are this girl’s best friend. Egg salad (3 medium eggs + .5 TBS mayo + .5 TBS mustard) on 1 slice of Dave’s Awesome bread-thin slice is a very filling meal.
5/21: 134.2, was at a deficit yesterday, but I was preoccupied with snackish-junk food; a sure sign I was tired. Good thing I didn’t have cash on me and I was too busy most of the day to cave in. The accountability of this challenge and my group text friends is really keeping me on track. Thank you everyone.
5/22: 133.4, certainly enjoyed this. Not a lot of food yesterday which isn’t great. Definitely looking forward to my next day off.
5/23: 133.4, looking like this is going to stick.
5/24: 134.4, after 3 days of eating sugar I’m not surprised.
5/25: 133.6, restaurant food, wine tasting, and dancing all night. I wonder what tomorrow will look like.6 -

5/18 traveling, no scale. Being mindful and logging
5/19 140# different scale for 2.5 weeks. Nothing I can do, so I am ok with that, as this is my starting point here. Stay on point!
5/20 138.1# Logging regularly (even using the scanning bar, makes life much easier). And now off to run. Happy Sunday all!
5/21 138.7# Hopefully I will see a downward trend this round. I am trying...
5/22 138.9# Nope, wrong direction
5/23 138.4# Better than I expected. I felt like I ate too much (and logged it all), but did a whole lot of exercise/steps
5/24 139.3# UGH! It's got to get better. My 5 mile run is done...that's a good start
5/25 137.7# Not sure how that happened. But I'll take it!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
5/18 138.5 Well not surprised. Yesterday was our 48th wedding anniversary and my 10 month Ketoversary. Down 30# We attended a dinner party last night and there was sugar in everything - at least that was the way it felt/tasted. My ketones are low (0.5) but still present.
5/19 138.5 Lovely grilled dinner at Red Lobster. Ate my little lobster tail, a few shrimp, and two bites of salmon. Also salad with blue cheese dressing and 3/4 of a cheddar biscuit. Those biscuits no longer taste good to me. Strawberries and whipped cream for dessert when we got home. Breakfast with lady friends at 8 AM today. Have I mentioned lately that I am not a breakfast person?
I ate about 1/4 of my omelet which was relatively tasteless in spite of Monterrey Jack cheese and lots of green chilies.
5/20 139.0 WTH??? I suspect there were hidden carbs in that omelet causing me to retain water because I really didn’t overeat. Also was way below on water. UGH!
5/21 138.0 When I pointed out to DH this morning that I had brought home breakfast potatoes on Saturday he said “we don’t eat those anymore.” Whoo hoo, he is coming to a more Keto WOE!
5/22 138.0 My stomach is upset. Blech!!!
5/23 137.5 Brought DH to urgent care. Breathing treatment and steroids.
5/24 138.5 Salt? I had left over Keto chili at about 11 and 1/2 of a Greek Salad with gyro meat for dinner. Maybe it was the 1/4 of a pita bread. Moving on!
5/25 138.5 DH still sick. I hate trying to guess what will sound good to him for dinner!
5/26 138.5 Well, it took me 4 months to work down through the 140’s so to get to 135... Discovered I had saved a screen from “Ideal weight” calculators in January. Quite a range!

Day/Weight/Comment – about the day before
5/18 164.4 - Hoping this is just a blip up and not what I gained the last week and a half.
5/19 163 - This was a happy surprise – Hope I can keep going. I was fairly consistently around this before my trip but was afraid I’d put some lb. back on. Guess we’ll see tomorrow. Went to the gym yesterday for the first time since I got back and ate somewhat on target. Still dead tired from all the travel.
5/20 163.3
5/21 162.8 – So nice to see this number again after the bump up on my trip. Gardening the last couple of days – clearing out weeds isn’t all that much exercise but way less snack inducing than inside the house.
5/22 162.4 - gym closed for Victoria day yesterday but lots of outside work.
5/23 162.4 -
5/24 162 – crazy day yesterday with no exercise really, didn’t even get to yard work. Maybe this is payoff from the previous days. Hoping to spend today mostly outside and get the garden planted. still plugging along at weedy perennial beds and moving stuff around too.
5/25 – 162.8 Would so like to be under 162, have to keep at it. Motivation to get to the gym today even though I have lots to do.
5/26 162.6 Good day, went to the gym in am. Digging garden bed and planting flowers in pm

5/18 - 128.2 - Taking this new challenge seriously. Log food every day, I have been falling down on that.
5/19 - 128.6 - logged food and under maintenance, 10K steps. By logging, I got to see that the ratio of snacks to real food was SHOCKING. So, good information!! Admittedly, temptations showed up, but.
5/20 -130.2 - sadness for my own mess-ups, and resolve. Anxiety and comforting myself with food. Way over yesterday on calories, under on exercise. Rising every time I fall....
5/21 - 128.6 - yesterday under calories, ate only a 200 calorie "treat" protein bar in the sugar dept, 11K steps. One day at a time.
5/22 - 128.0 - yesterday under calories, 13K steps including elliptical at the gym and short runs to and fro.
5/23 - 128.4 - yesterday over calories, 10K steps; a day where I woke at 3:45 and never slept after that. Using sugar to deal with anxiety, but still not my worst day. Back at it.
5/24 - 129.8 - yesterday within calories, 14K steps including a 50 minute run.
5/25 - 129.2 - yesterday over again, just having a lot of emo=eat issues right now. 10K steps and a really poor night of sleep last night. Such is life; one day at a time.
5/26 - 128.0 - yesterday over cals, under steps, but I got sleep and now I have a long weekend to find my wheels again.

Slow and steady. I'm going to keep riding this wave. I think I'm very close to my final weight goal. I'm going to start thinking in terms of what I'm doing AFTER I reach my weight goal. I have not returned to heavy lifting since I hurt my back, but I will (soon). As far as numbers go, I want to see if I can keep my lean body mass where it is (or increase) while simultaneously reducing my body fat percentage. I'm at just under 16%, but I'd like to see 12%. I want to know what my abs look like! I'm going to start including my scale's body fat percentage reading (even though I know it's not accurate) with my daily check-in.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18 = 192.6 (no change). Basketball cancelled again last night. AFTER I drive half an hour to get there. For the first time in a while I had a frustration/depressed binge (related to basketball). Nothing too crazy, but I was done eating, and then I had a couple of raw chocolate balls and 2 servings of Thai Lime Chile almonds. And a stick of Monterey Jack cheese. I'm going to an amusement park today, so there should be tons of walking. And there's basketball tomorrow. I forgot to check my body fat percentage this morning. It's going to be a process!
5/19 = 192.2 (-0.4), BF% = 16.0. Walked over 15k steps at Magic Mountain. I was good at the park with food, but binged a bit again when I got home. I've been sneaking in a little chocolate (wife has it around) the past few nights, which I've got to address. I'm going to work on sticking much more closely to my macros. I'm not having any real negative consequences at this point, but I want to nip this in the bud. I have basketball this morning.[/quote]
5/20 = 192.0 (-0.2), BF% = 16.2. My knee felt really loose at basketball yesterday. I didn't hurt myself, but it didn't feel good. Ate out for brunch, and got a nice rare steak and eggs. Macros were okay. I was a little light on water, at least for a basketball day.
5/21 = 195.4 (+3.4). Let's call yesterday what it was: a full-blown slip. It was my father-in-law's birthday party. I was pretty good with food for most of the day (this is becoming a pattern that is not shaken, in a very good way). It started with my wife doing Mexican corn (with mayo, butter, cheese, and chili). Corn is not a great food for my diet, but I had more than I probably should have (the toppings are all fine, though). Later came dessert. My wife got a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake from the bakery in LA called Portos. It's ridiculous. I told her a few times throughout the day that I wasn't going to have any, but she persisted, and I gave in. Twice. Back to my eating during the day, though. I didn't track volume, only "quality." The food I was eating fit well into the Keto lifestyle, but I probably overate a bit overall, even before the corn/cheesecake. Anyhoo. It was a slip, not a full-blown relapse. Let's see how long it takes for my body to fully BWHOOSH™ (formerly known as BOUNCE BACK™).
5/22 = 193.4 (-2.0), BF% = 16.2. BWHOOSH™ (formerly known as BOUNCE BACK™). I felt pretty crappy throughout the day yesterday, but ate really well, and forced myself to go to the gym to lift weights. When I got there, I noticed my energy was up. I went to basketball, where I have not been able to hit the broad side of a barn the last two times I've played. My shot was pretty "on," and my bad knee felt just fine (not even one "pop"). I had a great Caesar salad with chicken and avocado for dinner, and ended up having a pretty great day. I had a bit of a revelation at basketball. I STILL have WAY TOO MUCH gut. So many people are screaming at me telling me how thin I am, but I'm NOT. I get that I look pretty different compared to where I was in January (when I started my MFP/JGMTD journey), and that people freak out/get jealous/whatever, but I don't think I have body image issues. Rather, I truly believe that I still have a ways to go on my journey. I said I would stop at 185. Maybe 180 is the number. Maybe I just need to start eating more at maintenance as I get back into heavy lifting. I don't know. I feel good today, though. Sorry for the rant!
5/23 = 194.6 (+1.2). This is when I know my sugar issues are an actual addiction. I can't have a slip one day and think that I'm okay the next day. I can't pretend that it didn't happen. A slip is a sign, and that should put me in high alert. That's what I would tell my patient. I would also tell them to be kind to to themselves, and to have some compassion, so I'm going to try to remember that, too. I didn't give my Saturday lapse the attention it deserved, and last night was a sign that my underlying issues are still there. I'm stressed, and will be until Tuesday, because of work issues. I binged last night on chocolate. It was bad. On some level I knew what was happening. My wife didn't say a word, not that it's her responsibility to. I have got to depend on myself, and I let myself down a little bit. Time to stop the bleeding today, and to get back to my good Keto habits. I don't want this to turn into a full blown relapse. I've worked too hard.
5/24 = 195.8 (+1.2). I initially freaked out at seeing this, because I ate well yesterday. But then I remembered the day before (psycho-binge, sugar), and figured that this is likely some holdover from my awesomeness that day. It's really not that fun to see this number, but I'm going to let it go. Basketball and the gym tonight. I'm going to eat uber-healthy today. I'm really hoping to see a significant drop tomorrow. Before I sign off for the day, I want to remind myself out loud that I'm super-stressed at work right now, and it doesn't get any better when I go home (doing an overtime project). At this point I'm really hoping just to settle down toward my SW for this round. *Edit* I'm actually feeling a little bit depressed right now - it's raining outside, I got wet on my ride in, I am feeling a bit out of control right now (still related to what happened 2 days ago). I am on "high alert" food-wise because, if I'm not, this could easily end up a disaster. I'm having poké for lunch, and my wife is picking up a nice keto-friendly salad for me for dinner. No sweets today of any kind. Only keto-friendly snacks.
5/25 = 194.6 (-1.2), BF% = 16.2. I'm feeling more settled after a mini-BWHOOSH™. I definitely ate over-calories yesterday, but it was a basketball day, so I burned them off (and then some). My acknowledgement of the day: I have too many sweet snacks at work, and I need to stop. I'm learning about sugar alcohols, and that just because something says it has a certain level of "net carbs" does NOT mean it's Keto-friendly. So I have a couple of "treats" here that I probably shouldn't. On a day like yesterday, they made up about 1/2 of my (even) net carbs. When you have 20g of net carbs or so a day, that doesn't leave a lot of room for actual food. And I like food. I'm going to work on this. Basketball sucked last night, by the way. I play with 2 different groups of guys: the first is super organized, and everyone contributes their fair share to the permit (my Saturday group); the other group is terribly disorganized, very few people contribute to the permit, and no one cares about trying to set up teams so that games are actually competitive (which happens on Saturdays). I'm going to fix it (my Monday/Thursday group), or else I'm going to quit. That's what I've decided.
5/26 = 192.2 (-2.0), BF% = 16.3. I weighed late today (by about 2 hours), but I'm putting it down anyway. I didn't have the most amazing day eating yesterday, but I was okay. Tomorrow will be the true measure of where I'm actually at. I feel okay, though. Working all weekend. I'm going to try to get to the gym once.

5/19 170.6
5/20 170.4 Totally building muscle and feeling leaner; however, & I STILL have to keep reminding myself that my goal is now losing 2 lbs a month instead of 4. I find myself worrying that I won’t, but I think - with time - I will fret less. The trending app helps. My 10-day moving average is down 2.1 lbs in 20 days. Last month, I was down 5.3 lbs in 30 days. Slowly, I will adjust. Quite the mind shift.
5/21 170.0 I’m glad I purposely have slowed down my weight loss. It’s funny that it feels as though I’m gaining - when I’m not. I can see this will take some time, but I’m hopeful.
5/22 170.0 I think maybe I’m getting the hang of this trend line is now 2.2 lbs in 22 days - very helpful. Great workout yesterday! Losing inches (glad I took measurements in January & March) with definitely leaner look through waist (in the morning before my large breakfast LOL) & arms & shoulders feel much stronger. All part of this journey.
5/23 170.8 All is good - muscles hanging on to water... with my increased intensity of exercise. Along with 4 new temporary meds for a month.
My weight is Still down > than 2 lbs in the last 30 days, which is my goal, easing into maintenance.
I wasn’t hungry last night, but ate my dinner because my brain can play tricks on me sometimes and lets me get TOO hungry if I don’t eat. Intuitive eating sounds SO tempting, but in my heart, I know the routine of meals will insure my success longterm. (Talking to myself here)
5/24 171.2 I’m centered again. Won’t let myself get over busy and stressed like the last two days again! I LEARNED a lot. Grateful for all of you. Ever onwards!!!
5/25 170.2 Was not easy but I did it! I moved all day yesterday - even jogged a little & didn’t sit in waiting rooms - just kept moving - with lots of hydration & tho it was hard, I made great food choices and was under calories. I was awake most of the night, wanting to eat (due to new temporary course of meds that cause hunger & insomnia), but I didn’t. Proud & a little relieved - dosage halves today! Hoping for continued progress today.
Challenges make us stronger, right? Have a wonderful day!
5/26 169.6 BMI=25.04 Wow! So close!
This has been THE week that I have learned the MOST on my 29 month weight loss journey. Bar none! Probably also the scariest/hardest. I was feeling so great & thin, but all the things I had been doing were slipping & I was “bloated” for no reason I could fathom.
The sudden WHAM! POW! to my body last Saturday of 4 meds combined with a few very/busy stressful days really impacted me more than I realized. In hindsight, I needed to think of myself as healing/“sick” & rest more, but I had been feeling so great that I powered through.
What I learned & want to remember:
1. Sometimes we need to take it easy.
2. Sometimes we need to keep moving as we are taking it easy.
3. Sometimes our bodies need more fuel.
4. More food results in more food in digestive track, more water, etc. expect an uptick on scale
5. Have emergency shopping lists ready for those times you are sick/too busy/down to create one. I procrastinated shopping for *days* because of fatigue.
6. Prep veggies in moments of more energy. Fiber helps!!! Veggies help with medicine-induced munchies.
7. Remember hot tea (was too tired to do it- really should have forced myself to fill the thermos) for satiety and warmth.
8. Reach out to friends/support group. Fellow patients were incredibly helpful/insightful/encouraging!
9. Realize that some drugs DO effect mental moods. This too will pass. It is not you- it’s these life-saving medications. Keep perspective.
10. Remember that you got great news but you turned it into stress & bad news & worries wayyy tooo much. It took 6 days and a tapered dose for you to realize You Got Great News!!! Maybe journal next time. Give it time.
11. A giant serving of broccoli with some steak did you a world of good with a brisk walk at 8:30 PM. Exercise (and water) ameliorates ALL of your side effects of the meds. Remember this!!
5/27
Note to self: FOCUS on Building Muscle!!)
Apple Watch Energy - 1900 > 0 daily
Daily walks - easy does it!
Give resistance & weight training 3X/week your all.
Remember: Your new “Skinny” pants are now loose, arms look much better, legs/butt more toned/better shape, and your waist is better defined with abs right below the skin! Who knew?!?!!! Celebrate! These are your rewards now - not the scale. Give yourself time to adjust to this New Reality.
I did celebrate - bought a gorgeous dress, hip jacket, & cute sweater for some events coming up. My first new clothes - except for 3 prs of jeans - in over a year & my first “thin” clothes!! I’m only getting a small, new wardrobe of items that fit close & that I LOVE! Fun, and a little intimidating, to decide on style/look now that I have more options. But it’s a nice problem to have once I reminded myself that I could take my time!

5/20 -- 184.0 That's the last of the water weight gone.
5/21 -- 184.0 In one more pound I'll hit the 20lbs mark. Still plenty of miles to go, but it will feel good to pass that marker. I'm starting to feel some difference in my clothes though I don't see any in the mirror yet.
5/22 -- 183.2 Very close to my lowest weight since 2013 (180). Once I pass that I'll feel like I'm making real progress.
5/23 -- 182.8 I've just passed the 20 pounds mark -- onwards to 30!
5/24 -- 183.8 I've been perfectly on plan so I'm not stressing this. I have noticed, though, that all of my rounds seem to fall into the same pattern -- big drop in the first half then struggle to hold on to it in the second. I wonder if this is some sort of natural cycle.
5/25 -- 182.6 Evening out again. This is why I weigh every day; if a once a week weigh in caught one of these natural fluctuations I'd probably throw in the towel and eat a whole tub of ice cream.
5/26 -- 183.0 Really getting tired of being stuck at this number. Time for a whoosh, please.
5/27 -- 181.8 Thank you, body, that's more like it!
Turned out to be an excellent round. As usual, I dropped fast in the first half, then had to fight in the second half to keep it off.8 -

Round 40 SW: 313.8 EW 307.0
Round 41 SW: 307.0 GW 303.0
5/18 306.4 (-0.6) (Coming on 11 days on keto based diet. Doing well, staying focused, getting past "bread" desires -- mostly. Still a struggle and I didn't realize how much carbs constituted my daily caloric intake. Breaking old habits in favor of new habits.)
5/19 No weigh in
5/20 No weigh in (Spent the last two days in the great outdoors camping with my seven year old and his Cub Scout Pack. Great weather, lots of opportunity for exercise, ate well and burned off calories. We'll see if I'm rewarded on the scale tomorrow morning)
5/21 308.0 (+1.0) (Just a blip up on the scale but back to tracking everything today after a weekend in the wild.)
5/22 307.6 (+0.6) (Why does down take so much longer than up
-- good meeting with my medical provider yesterday. She likes the overall trend, we discussed energy level, just need to keep working the plan. Dinner out tonight with my wife for our anniversary. Planning ahead to know what to order.)
5/23 306.8 (-0.2) (Eating out was good. Second time while on the Keto diet. Planning ahead is key for me. Need to hoof it to get to this round's goal weight.)
5/24 306.0 (-1.0) (Good day on Wednesday. Someone brought donuts into the office. I didn't eat one, didn't really even want one. They did look good though . But focus on the long term goal must outweigh short term food desires.)
5/25 304.8 (-2.2) (Found myself hungry in the mid-afternoon. Used to be that was time for the vending machine to get a visit. This time I went to a nearby grocery store and found some cheese. Not nearly as exciting as a snickers but kept me on track. Holiday weekend upcoming -- family parties, Indy 500, more food challenges but I'm prepared more than I was a few weeks back.)
5/26 303.4 (-3.6) (Made dinner from a keto friendly website recipe last night. It was great, filling, paired with a salad. The best part is the family liked it too. Looking forward to a fun filled Saturday. Happy weekend everyone.)
5/27 304.2 (-2.8) (Missed my goal for this round but pleased with the result. Figuring things out and every day is a new opportunity. Race day in Indianapolis today so lots of water and sunscreen. And steps. See everyone in Round 42.)7 -
Finally down 0.5 total of 1 lb.At least it is a minus.4

5/21- 229.0 Prepped food to take for work. Actually made and ate breakfast before leaving the house.
5/22- 229.0 Stayed strictly on point yesterday. Frustrated the scale didn't shift. Hoping to see a loss tomorrow.
5/23- 226.4 That’s more like!! Glad I didn’t let yesterday’s frustration allow me to self-sabotage like I normally do.
5/24- 226.2 haven’t slipped up once. Frustrated I’m not losing quicker. Where’s that large amount of water weight people typically lose the first week??
5/25- 225.4 Wasn’t expecting this. Went over my fat goal yesterday and thought for sure I’d see a gain. I also slept for 10 hours. Need to prepare myself that this morning’s weight might not be truly reflective and I may see a slight gain tomorrow.
5/26- 225.2 A loss is a loss, right? And only .2 to making my Round 41 Goal! I can do this!! Had a big Non-Scale Victory last night. My mom wanted to take the kids and I out to dinner to celebrate the last day of school. I stuck with the “lighter fare” side of the menu, opting for a petit sirloin and side salad. PLUS, mom offered to buy me an alcoholic beverage, but I declined and stuck with water. It’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve had a drink, which is remarkable in and of itself.
5/27- 224.4 Yay, I met my challenge weight loss goal! Yesterday was tough. I was in a snacky mood. Knowing today was the last day of the challenge really helped keep me on track. Looking forward to the next challenge!

@efurlong8183 3.8 lbs in 5 days is a water weight loss. Body fat doesn't drop off that quickly.
I know it’s water weight. I was simply saying I’ve seen people much smaller than I lose significantly way more water weight than I in the initial days.2
