    @Snowflake1968 As I say every challenge, it generally takes my body/scale 2-3 days to reflect the food I’ve eaten.

    @GrandmaJackie Thank you for the new link! ;):)

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    5/28 136.5 WHOO HOO! Almost no carbs yesterday. Tracking again. It makes a difference. Almost 100 posts to read! Home from community picnic. One hamburger, one hotdog, a thin slice each of tomato and onion. I pinched a teeny bite of cookie from DH - 3 raisins and not much else!
    5/29 137.5 Too much salt in the evening. This too shall pass.
    5/30 137.5 Hurt my foot yesterday. A board fell over on it. Not a big board but it is swollen and bruised. I’m going to water fitness anyway and will see what I can do.
    5/31 136.5 The bruise is fading but it still feels as if I’m walking on a cotton ball.
    6/1 136.0 We took a road trip yesterday so I stayed off my foot most of the day. Swelling and bruise almost gone. Ate French fries yesterday, we’ll see if that causes a problem in a day or two!
    6/2 135.0 WHOO HOO Tracking is paying off!
    6/3 135.0
    6/4 135.5 I ate something late because I had only had about 300 calories for the day. I need to stop doing that. I wasn’t hungry - that is what Keto does and it’s a signal that I am in ketosis and my body is using my fat stored for fuel. On the bright side, I put the Zumba DVD in and started learning some of the steps. I have 2 left feet!

    @jerier, The day before Memorial day I was under high stress and had eaten less than a third of my calorie allotment. It wasn't until late in the evening that I ate more food, but still under calories. My weight took a dive the next morning.

    Age 60, 5'4.5" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 [R39] to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss had stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
    MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
    Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14 :star:
    Annual workplace Health Risk Assessment 5/15/18: Waist the smallest it's been since 2007 according to past HRA records. :star:

    My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

    Round 41 (previous round)
    05/18: 153.5 Had 8 hr seminar + 1 hr drive time + no workout = very sedentary day. Fitbit 5,483 steps, 250+ steps 8/14 & 12 floors. Had every intention of eating small portions of whatever lunch and refreshments were served. Not so much. By evening, the introvert in me was exhausted, having handled seminar check-in and networking with 26 people in my professional association all day, even though I loved it. So after I drove 33 miles back to my city & deposited seminar checks at in-store bank, I picked up rotisserie chicken, deli salads and a few groceries on my way home, and proceeded to eat with abandon, including WAY too much sugar. After, felt bloated and blah. 11c water (at least I did that right). Starting fresh today.

    06/02: 153.0 Friday 6/1 was annual Girls Day Out w/ mom (81yo), aunt (70yo), sister & SIL ~ we've done this since 2005. Day was filled with family <3, shopping, pedicures and, of course, eating! Fabulous lunch, everyone else had paninis but I had fusilli with shrimp, artichoke hearts, white wine & sun-dried tomatoes ~ so good! We always have an afternoon break for dessert & this year we had pie break. I indulged in caramel apple pie ~ yum! Before leaving home for day, I walked dog 3.07 mi 53:19 and ate mango overnights oats (yum & filling) for breakfast. Fitbit 14,217 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 20 floors.

I started by carrying one in each hand (indents in blocks) but when pallet was > 1/2 empty I couldn't do two anymore, and only carried one at a time. Took us 3 hours total & I weeded berm as we went. My workouts are paying off ~ my arms weren't too sore, just my hand grip and lower back from lots of bending ~ took Aleve after and felt fine next day.
