@sheilaboneham What a gorgeous puppy. Yellow lab? I have a yellow lab, and he goes to work every day that it isn’t too hot and follows him around to help.
@PhedraJD Yes, she's a yellow Lab, my 12-year-old "puppy." She was my competition partner and has titles in several dog sports and is a registered therapy dog. They're great helpers, aren't they?

6/27 at 7:15 / 227.4 / Wow! That's 2.6 pounds overnight. I had a drop like that last round, too, though I bounced right back up. Sometimes, I imagine my body is laughing like that cartoon dog with the weird laugh as I get on the scale. "Let's see how surprising I can be. Tee hee hee."
6/28 at 6:20 / 228.4 / A little bump, but I did a ton of exercise yesterday, including new resistance loop exercises. I expected to have more of a water bump than this.
6/29 at 7:30 / 228.6 / Got some TOM nonsense.
6/30 at 8:15 / 228.6 / TOM. Blech.
7/1 at 9:15 / 227.6 / Feeling much better.
7/2 at 8:10 / 227.6 / It's so HOT! I think the trees are melting. I haven't been getting my exercise in, but have been meeting my calorie goals (aside from Saturday, when I went over by 12 calories). Hope everyone is hanging in there as best you can.
7/3 at 6:10 / 228.2 / I went over a bit on calories and I think I ate my weight in salt. I'm surprised I didn't bounce higher! Headachy today in the broiling heat, but life is treating me well otherwise.

Just Give Me 10 Days
5'2", Female, Serial Starter, Loss 65lbs in 6 months with MFP in 2013 (250lbs to 185lbs). Did it once, can do it again. Confident it’ll stick this time. SW: 250lbs (05/28/18), UGW: 140-150lbs
R43 SW 240.4
R44 SW 237.2
R45 SW 235.0
Goal this round: More accurate logging by cooking more during weekends. Start exercise routine probably some kind of beginners work out video on YouTube. Recommendations appreciated. Good luck everyone!
Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 235.0! Changed my logging to just putting round start weights since there’s been a difference from the last day of the previous round to the first day of the new round. Between R43 and R44 there was a -0.4lb difference. Between R44 and R45 -1.5lbs!!! I think my consistency from last round paid off even though the scale wasn’t reflecting that. I’m glad I didn’t let it mentally de-rail me. Great way to start a round!
6/28- 234.0 TWO THIRTY-FOUR! Yippee!
6/29- 234.4 Still learning to take the ups in stride. Late weigh in. Within calories yesterday but carb heavy dinner.
6/30- 235.4 Very bummed and disappointed in myself yesterday. Chick Fil A for breakfast. Pizza for dinner. Restless night with the baby. Trying to get head back in game. Up water today and planning an active day with the kids.
7/01- 234.8 Focusing on the positive: weight is down from yesterday, start of round, and since I restarted. I’m still averaging 3lb loss per week since Memorial Day. I’m doing great.
7/02- 234.2 Looks like AF is still working out the post partum schedule. Second time in less than 2 weeks. Ugh. Might explain the weight rollercoaster.
7/03- 232.4 I know the chances of this sticking isn’t likely but I took joy in stepping off/on the scale several times just to see this number pop up.

•6/29 - 193.6
•6/30 - Didn't even think to weigh this morning.
•7/1 - 194.2 - Almost forgot to weigh again. When the weather is hot, one of my first thoughts upon waking is to drink some water. I did. I enjoyed a couple of cubes of watermelon and cantaloupe yesterday with my breakfast. Sooo good and sweet. I was sooo bloated the rest of the day from the sugars. July is the month I give myself to enjoy a bit of fruit, so I expect bloat and weight loss stall. I also need to make some infused water with cucumber, lemon and parsley. I'm 7 weeks away from my weight loss journey 1 yr anniversary.
•7/2 - 192.4 - Muddled some fresh picked mint leaves and added to my water yesterday. No bloating and so refreshing! It was BLAZING HOT! Heat index of 106° I really hate it when the heat index card is drawn. "SIGH" our month of suffering high heat and humidity began with a BANG.

6/27: 170.4/Very motivated after the last round. Hoping to blast into and through the 160’s as far as possible these next 10 days.
6/28: 171.0/Yesterday got away from me and I ended up doing things a lot later than planned. Ate candy and had a pop late. Have been going to bed really late and not getting enough sleep.I did get exercise in and was within my calorie budget.
6/29: 171.0/Again did not get eat when I wanted. Working on eating more frequently throughout the day.
6/30: 171.2/Frustrated and disappointed, hoping to get in the 160’s soon. Starting C25k tomorrow. Still trying to focus on eating more frequently throughout the day as opposed to later at night.
7/01: 171.2/Took a break from exercise yesterday, my body needed a break, my lower back has been bothering me. I had such a rapid weight loss initially I was hoping to have more, but I guess that was probably the water weight and now I headed for slow but steady progress hopefully.
7/02: 170.4/Clothes are fitting better and I am feeling well. My skin is looking good and my memory and emotional regulation has improved.
7/03: 169.4/Finally, back in the 160’s!!! Coming right before the 4th will keep me motivated to eat right and continue abstaining from alcohol, yay!12 -

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: Weight = 165.8 Scale hasn't moved in 3 days...Will just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for a whoosh to be coming! Completed Day 8 of The Betty Rocker 30 Day Challenge yesterday which was an Abs workout and was under in calories for the day. My hamstrings are a bit tight today so I'm going to do some stretches and get in a short shake out run before today's Day 9 workout. This group really motivated me to stay committed the last round, hoping to do the same this round!
6/28: Weight = 165.4 Well, the scale finally moved a small bit down after 4 days, but not sure it is real. I had to get on and off a couple of times before this number showed up, the numbers were all over the place. I don't want to say it is discouraging, because it just motivates me more to stay committed but it is a bit of a bummer to not see any real progress so far this week. Exercise and food wise, yesterday was right on target. I was right on my calorie goal, hit my macros, went for a short run, completed day 10 of my exercise challenge which was a full body workout. I didn't have any gluten, diet cokes or alcohol & drank plenty of water. I still have a lot of pain in my calves, which I am pretty sure is DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). I know those small muscle tears can retain water, so I am hopping that is the cause of the scale not going down. Today is a yoga day, thankfully! I'm also not going to have the protein powder I started using a couple of days ago, in my diet today. That's the only thing new I've added in this week, so maybe it could be the sneaky culprit
6/29 Weight = 165.4 Ugh!!! So frustrating! I don't think I have every tried to lose weight and had this happen. There had better be a huge Woosh in my future The good news is the DOMS in my calves in lessening, so hopefully the scale will start to move again. Yesterday was a good day food wise, ate according to plan, hit my calories and my macros, IF 16:8, didn't have gluten, diet coke, or alcohol, and had plenty of water. I completed day 11 of my exercise challenge which was yoga and gave my sore legs a bit of a rest. It's hot here today, for the 1st time in a week or so (upper 90's) but still going to try to get a short run in and then do my cardio workout that is scheduled. Heading to the beach early tomorrow morning for a day trip, so will have to be up even earlier to get my workout in. Dreading the swimsuit.
6/30 Weight = 165.8 so that number is back, what a surprise *sarcasm* I bought a new scale yesterday and did a side by side weigh in and was .5 lbs higher on the new scale. This morning's weigh-in in on the new scale, so it would've been 165.3 on the old scale, which would've been a tiny loss. It is what it is. I ran yesterday outside in the hot hot heat, did my day 12 challenge which was cardio blast (jump squats and push ups ladders) and ate within my calories and macros + had a glass and half of red wine. I'm going to up my calories a little bit this upcoming week and see if that shakes anything up on the scale. Will I ever get out of the 165's??????? Headed to the beach now, and will have to really work hard to stay within my goals today food wise. Have a great Saturday everyone!
7/01 Weight = 165.6 (new scale) Had a great day at the beach yesterday! I had a juice smoothie before we left and then tried to make the smartest food choices I could, based on what the options were. Lunch was from a beach shack, so ZERO healthy options. I had a cheeseburger/no bun, just the patty. Dinner was an Italian restaurant so I ordered two appetizers as my main course which were 2 meatballs and sauteed broccoli with garlic. I avoided all beach snacks but did enjoy a Margarita with dinner, made "Italian style" with Amaretto added in, so probably loaded with calories but so delicious after a hot day at the beach. We got home around 9:30 last night but I still made myself complete my day 13 exercise challenge, which was Pilates, so not too strenuous. I definitely didn't drink my usual amount of water yesterday and it is going to be a record high here today, so going to be getting in lots and lots of water today. Happy July everyone!
7/02 Weight = 165.1 YES!!!!!! Thrilled with this number
Finally some movement on the scale. My goal for this round was to be in the 163s but that's probably not happening after last week's plateau, I'll just be happy to be out of these horrible 165s. Yesterday was miserably & uncharacteristically hot. I put off doing my workout until later hoping the heat would lessen (we don't have AC downstairs, only window units upstairs in bedrooms) but at 9:30 p.m. it was still 91 degrees/103 with heat index, so I had to bite the bullet and just get it done. So day 14 of my exercise challenge was completed, it was an Upper Body workout. Super hot here again today and the scheduled workout is a Full Body Tabata style, it is going to be hard but I will get it done. Going to get in a lot of water and be super careful of my food choices today, I want to see 165 gone tomorrow when I get in the scale.
7/03 Weight = 164.0 SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!! Good-bye 165's and may I NEVER see you again! Although, this could just be a water weight loss due to all the buckets of sweat that I sweated yesterday in an un-air conditioned house. I completed my day 15 workout at 7 pm in my living room when the temp had finally dropped to about 90 degrees, because who doesn't want to do an intense Tabata workout in a sauna and then immediately went into the even hotter kitchen and cooked dinner, which was a stir-fry, so I had to stand over a hot stove for 15 minutes...madness! Hopefully the loss will stick around, but if it bumps up a little no worries, I 'll get there. My new scale has all these bells and whistles and one is showing body fat percentage and muscle mass. Not sure if these are accurate or not but the body fat number has gone down and the muscle mass is going up. Tomorrow is measurement day, excited to see what if any proof that actual changes are going on.

6/27 - 189.2 - Yesterday was not the healthiest eating day although I did manage to exercise most of the calories off. I'm going to try some different things this round and see how it goes.
6/28 - 187.8 That makes more sense. Yesterday I decided not to have breakfast, I want to see how that affects my overall eating for the day. It went well, I didn't struggle trying to keep my calories in check. I'll try it again today.
6/29 - 187.0 - Had an executive in town yesterday that insisted on a burger place for lunch. Nothing low cal on the menu at all! Still managed to stay in the green for the day, but so frustrating.
6/30 - 185.6 - I'm not going to get excited by this today, I seem to see 185 once every challenge for the last 3 and then it disappears again.
7/01 - 188.6 Well good thing I didn't get excited yesterday.
7/02 - 189.2 - I think this is a result of the salt I've had the last couple of days. Lots of water today and see what happens.

Round 44 report: Logged 6/10 days, 4/5 cardio workouts, 1/5 mini-strength workouts. Maintenance at 125-130 but average was up to 128.
Round 45 GOAL = Log every day. Cut sugary treats for THIS 10-DAY ROUND. Get 4 cardio workouts. Get 4 MINI strength workouts.
6/27 - 127.0 - yesterday under maintenance calories, no treat sugar, 7K steps.
6/28 - 127.2 - yesterday under maintenance calories, 13K steps including run to gym and elliptical 35 minutes.
6/29 - 127.4 - yesterday just over maintenance calories, 7K steps. It was the third day of avoiding extra sugary treats. Found myself when very tired at night, having a hard time wanting something treat-y.
6/30 -127.0 - yesterday just under maintenance calories, 10K steps and a "mini" strength workout. 1AM, couldn't sleep and caved with some sugar hoping it would knock me out, but it did not. So that is an awesome learn.
Extended my goal to the rest of this round without sugary treat foods. Just to be clear: not doing keto, don't consider myself addicted to sugar, and I try not to have any morality surrounding my use or disuse of C6-H12-O6. We all do this different and THAT IS OKAY. We all use whatever words we need to, to get our own attention and stick with whatever plan we make. I psychologically associate sweet with comfort and soothing, so right now I am experimenting with other coping strategies as part of my ongoing commitment to mindfulness and maintenance.
Thanks for listening and carry on with YOUR plan, loves!
7/1 - 126.0 - TMI alert: if not prunes, then kale. For serious. LOL. Under maintenance yesterday, super hot day, about 8K steps and that was all.
7/2 - 125.4 - this is a new low and likely dehydration, though some of the recent shift is real. Yesterday under maintenance calories, walked a little then ran 2 miles in the "cool" of the evening.
"Under maintenance" means under my (self-determined, based on sedentary) maintenance number PLUS my fitbit allowance, which I routinely eat back most of.
7/3 - 126.8 - yep it was dehydration! I ate salt like a mad thing yesterday, and I hadn't slept well so nothing other than work happened. To bed early and got 9 hours sleep. So weird going to bed when it's light ...

weight goal for this round 160.5
log every day
6/27 163.4 I set an aggressive goal weight for this round, but I believe I can reach it if I continue the course.
6/28 162.6 I cannot wait until I am freed up to get on my bike or at least go walk the dogs. It has been a long 10 days. On the bright side I feel I am getting a better grasp on my eating, and I haven't binged this week. I am biting my tongue about my husband's In and Out burgers, donuts and fat boy ice cream sandwiches, abstaining, and letting him make his own choices without piping in. This has always been challenging for me unless we are both on the downward trajectory as far as weight.
6/29 163.0 I can't begin to explain the series of events that led to banana split and potato chips after dinner. I can only say that the stress of caregiving for my mom for the past 2 weeks added to the ever present worry about my 16 year old son has caught up with me and something gave. I was either going to get drunk or eat ice cream, and there we go. I expect to see another step up on the scale tomorrow as a delayed effect of last night's binge.
6/30 161.8 My goal for this round is in reach! I am looking so forward to getting out of the 160's, and resolve never to go there again! I was looking at the before and after success thread last night and how inspiring it is to see how so many people are able to take conttol of their eating and moving and reshape their bodies. I am super stoked to have found this platform and community.
7/01 163.5 Just another reminder that our weight will reflect the result of what we eat, duh. Last night I had a heavy carb dinner, indulging in extra bread and paella, not really too ar over my calories but enough to cause this immediate feedback. It was worth it though, because it is a lifelong change I am making. Better choices day at a time for the rest of my life, leaving room to indulge and then getting back on track.
7/02 WEIGH IN DAY 162.8 Kinda bummed that I am only .2 lbs down from my last weekly weigh in, but looking back at my week I did indulge in ice cream and extra carbs, defiitely making some choices that reflect on the scale. Well, better a small loss than any gain! Goals for this week are more water, more moving and getting my parents back to their own house!

7/3 258.3 Went for a 6 mile walk yesterday in 95 degree HUMID weather. I was able to stay hydrated - this 2.5 pound weight loss in one day is lost water weight because I was retaining water, not because I didn't drink enough. I'm definitely not expecting such a big drop tomorrow.

6/27 - 236.8
6/28 - 236.0 not bad considering I didnt work out. Although I was out in the sun for 2 hours moving furniture. Lol
6/29- 236.2 up .2, not sure why. Under calorie goals and 30 mins on my exercise bike. Oh well. Maybe not enough water.
6/30- 238.0 was my "cheat day" which only means it was mine and my husbands date date and we went to chinese. Stayed below my calorie goal and exercised for 30 mins. Lots of sodium tho and I know I didnt drink much water so I'm not going to freak out.
7/01 236.4 it's coming off! Drank tons of water yesterday and am again today to get that fluid off. Did 1 and 1/2 hours on my exercise bike.
7/02 240 ugh. I did bad yesterday. A lot of sodium again too. 50mins on the exercise bike so at least I exercised. Oh and an hour swimming.
7/03 238.0 45 min swim and 50mins exercise bike. Also stayed below my calorie budget. So getting back on track.

Work deadline & busy weekend got in the way of posting ~ weighed every day though!
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.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 - Wednesday - 196.6 - Worked really hard to avoid stress eating last night - stayed within calories and made dinner at home after some less than stellar news at work. HUGE WIN - as I normally would have went straight for the comfort foods on the way home. Now to continue on with good planning and choices because the stress shall remain for a while. Cheesesteak stuffed pepper for dinner tonight for me and cheesesteak sandwich for DH. Breakfast smoothie and lunch prepped and packed and made it to work on the early side so feeling good about all those things. Going to an outdoor concert friday and packing a picnic so need to plan that menu. Lots of planning has gotten me this far and I'm finally starting to enjoy the habit.
6/28 - Thursday - 196.4 - I believe TOM is imminent. I'm feeling a bit bloated and I've been hanging out at the same weight for 3 days - which is a pattern I've noticed the past two months. Also a carb monster. I've been around 100g of carbs the past few days - today is around 150g and I'm okay with that. I planned my day of eating around pizza for dinner but I need to get more protein in - and in different ways than my protein shake - getting sick of it and that's when things turn bad for me. Going to get a bunch of those tuna packets and make that my afternoon snack. Last night was good - took a nice walk and had a steak and cheese low carb wrap instead of the pepper but it all worked out. Need to do some prep tonight to get ready for tomorrow evening outdoor concert as we will probably leave from work so it will be a busy night tonight. I find I'm managing stress a LOT better. Good food = good vibes for me. If I was going thru what I am now, 6 months ago, my head would have been buried in a pot of pasta. Feeling healthy, hopeful, and strong.
6/29 - Friday - 196.2 - Good night last night - stuck to food plan. A bit of a self sabotage morning - I skipped making breakfast smoothie - but I did bring my protein powder. I didn't pack lunch - we didn't have much to pack. I bought donuts for the work crew - but havent eaten one yet! Hmmm...alright so to avoid falling prey to the traps I have set for myself, I will; drink my protein shake by 11, make a reasonable choice for lunch (maybe panera or taco bell cantina bowl?), log it and move on whatever happens. Picnic tonight - stopping at the grocery store on the way and I CANNOT be starving when we are shopping or I'll overeat tonight. Stick to - 1 bread, 1 cheese, 1 meat,1 dried fruit, 1 type of nuts - also possibly something from the prepared food; some time of protein? Cookies for dessert. Today is my 20 but need to remind myself not to make a whole weekend out of it! Back to basics tomorrow. Be in the moment and ENJOY tonight with DH.
6/30 - Saturday - 196.4 - reeeaaally holding on to this number. Awesome night last night and miraculously ate around maintenance with some really tasty foods. Had a midnight munchies attack on the way home tho, almost stopped at Wendy's but made it home to snack on some chips and salsa. Feeling good today but need a lot of water!!!
7/01 - Sunday - 196.6 - This is the most days in a row I've seen a number stay the so close to the same. Crazy hot and humid and definitely not enough water. Busy day grocery shopping, farm stand, and butcher. Cooked a bunch of pad thai, and grilled shrimp for food prep/lunch - had mahi mahi tacos with mango chutney and cole slaw for dinner. Hip is bothering me, not sure what that is all about.
7/02 - Monday - 197.4 - Can't say I'm terribly surprised - still no TOM, still hot and humid and hip is now killing me. Managed to get a lot done yesterday but there is never enough hours in the day - kitchen is still trashed from all the food prep yesterday but I was just too hurting to tackle it. I think I'll do some baby steps tonight as to straighten up a bit but not further flare up my hip. Good news is I'm back at it today with a breakfast smoothie, wrap for lunch, tuna packet snack, and dinner planned and cooked. Our family has birthday's 7/3 and 7/5 so the next 3 days are celebrations...not so sure how this round is going to end up but I'm visualizing the scale at 195.6 despite it all.
7/03 - 197.0 - Hip is feeling the slightest bit better - but still bothersome. Working today until 3ish and then heading up the the lake to start 4th of July/Birthday celebrations. Breakfast and lunch packed and logged and being mindful tonight but I'm not the cook so I'll eat what is served. I will need to make sure I don't go up there hungry - because then I will devour anything and everything - so a tuna packet before I go probably with a few crackers... I'll log that now and stick to it! I'll also consider taking a walk while I'm up there, both to get a breather from the crowd and to add some exercise calories to enjoy! Probably wont have a weigh in tomorrow as we will most likely be spending the night.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27--178.6 I feel like I'm off track the last several days. Need to make some adjustments.
6/28--177.4 Glad to see some downward progress. Last night I reevaluated my MFP goals. I had it set at 1 lb/week, sedentary (which I am), which gave me 1420 calories. I was really struggling with this. After fighting it for a few months now, I decided to change it to .5 lb/week. This gives me 1670 calories. Part of what was happening is I would go so far over my calories that I would just stop worrying about it. What's another 100 when you are already several hundred over? I'm hoping by having a more realistic goal it will keep me more accountable, because I will feel like I can actually meet it. Plus, even though I was set at 1 lb/week, it was really more like 1 lb/month, so .5/lb per week would make me perfectly happy. I don't really care how slow it is as long as its going down. The last round I felt like I was really starting to go the wrong direction. So, today is the first day I try to hit my new calorie goal!
6/29--177.8
6/30--175.8 This is probably a fluke and I'm dehydrated or something, but I'll take it!
7/01--176.4 Back on the hamster wheel. I'd rather be here than in the higher range I started this challenge with. Just ready to have a breakthrough!
7/02--175.8 Hello there, old friend. Pleased to see you today!
7/03--175.8 Two days in a row, unheard of! I feel like changing my calorie goal was the right decision, and its paying off. Although, I did eat ice cream last night even though I didn't have any calories left--but I did this knowing I could make it up the rest of the week. Went for a brisk 2-mile walk this morning and I feel great!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 = 192.0 (+0.6), BF% = 15.4 (no change). Had some dark chocolate chips last night after dinner, so my streak, and the struggle of addiction, continues (had too much, they weren't that "dark"). Haven't been getting enough sleep. I have a "sort of" job interview today; I meet with two people, and based on my meeting I will be "banded" (placed in a category) that will determine my "priority" for getting an interview. I'm tired. Going to need eyedrops and caffeine. I was falling asleep at work yesterday. I should be able to catch up on sleep tonight. Perhaps I'll go to the gym after work, depending on how I'm feeling. My two pound drop on my last weigh-in was likely dehydration, so this number is okay. I really want to break this sugar cycle. Going to try to stay mindful today. I just decided to throw away the chocolate chips. And I just threw them away.
6/28 = 190.2 (-1.8), BF% = 15.3 (-0.1). BWHOOSH™. I only THOUGHT I threw my chocolate chips away at the end of my most recent post (above). I looked in the fridge last night after dinner (and a great day of eating overall), and they were there. They were calling me. I grabbed them, had a couple, and remembered what I posted the day before about my intention to throw them away. So I did. Right in the trash can. I'm going to call that my first step. This weight equals my all-time (more than 25 years) low. I got here a couple of weeks ago, but I've still never had a weigh-in below 190. Today I'm going to focus on eating mindfully, so I can break that plateau. I don't want sugar, so I'm not going to eat it. There's no basketball tonight, but I'm going to commit to going to the gym (full workout) either tonight or tomorrow (my rotating day off, every other Friday). I'm also going to play basketball on Saturday (my first time in almost 3 weeks). I feel like I'm getting back on track.
6/29 = 189.4 (-0.8), BF% = 15.2 (-0.1). I cheated a little bit. Today is my day off, and my weigh-in was a LITTLE later than usual. But I'm still going to take this as a victory (189.x). I did a good job eating yesterday, and I had NO SWEETS WHATSOEVER. Somehow I survived. I'm going to the gym this morning to lift weights, I'm gonna hang out with my Pops after that for a couple of hours, then I'm going to the movies with my brother, his wife, and my niece. Later I'm going to have a drink with my wife and some crazy food that I will try to (I believe I can) keep Keto. I'm going to do my best to budget some calories for tonight, and I will go for a bourbon drink (rather than beer). I'm back to feeling more settled. I think my relapse might be over. It's not time to relax, but I think I can take things down from DEFCON 2 to DEFCON 4.
6/30 = 190.0 (+0.6), BF% = 15.2. Sorry for the late post. I controlled myself pretty well at the bar. Two drinks, stuck with Keto-friendly foods. Basketball happened today, but I'll talk about that tomorrow!
7/01 = 190.8 (+0.8), BF% = 15.2. Basketball was decent, but I hurt my knee a bit. I'll stay off of it until next Saturday. I did "pretty well" at the bar, but I had a couple of drinks, which likely dehydrated me a bit and left me with a weight that is likely under-reporting (I should be heavier, based off my eating). I ate Keto-friendly, but I am finding it hard to portion-control when I'm out and about at a place I really love. I almost go into it purposely not thinking about portion-control, when I could EASILY plan out what I'm going to eat (based off of familiarity with the menu). I'm writing this on Monday morning; if you read this, you'll recognized that I didn't learn any lessons from THIS post (because I'm about to write the other one right now.
7/02 = 193.8 (I think) (+3.0). I went to this "thing" last night in the LA area; it was basically a "fair" without any of the rides/games/animals. It was all food, like 100 different booths/trucks. It was insane, and it was all food, all day. I did my best to stick with Keto-friendly things for the most part, but volume of food was a definite issue. I'm sure I didn't eat 3 lbs worth of food (for my lovely weight gain), but I had a moment of weakness with the sweets. Going to this place was a really bad idea, particularly at this stage in my "recovery" from sugar. I'm going to see if I can get RIGHT BACK ON TRACK today, rather than creating another two-week relapse like I had very recently. See previous post for insights I SHOULD have had already. Cut-to-the-chase, when I'm going out to a favorite restaurant, I need to think about portion-control BEFORE I step foot in the place. I'm allowing myself to over-eat, even if I'm generally sticking pretty well with Keto-friendly foods (minus my 10-minute lapse at the food-fair).
7/03 = 193.0 (-0.8), BF% = 17.3 (+2.1). I'm a little confused at how I could gain 2.1% body fat in 2 days, but I'll report it as-is until I figure it out. Yesterday was better for eating. I'm paying on the scale for the sins of my Saturday/Sunday. Trying to keep my head on straight. I'm feeling strangely discouraged by my BF% reading, even though I'm pretty sure it's impossible.

ROUND 3 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old Original starting weight 235 on 1/11/18
Goals: 1. 3 lb loss to land in the 180’s (even if it’s hanging by skin of my teeth)
2. No Bingeing
3. No “cheat days” only “Earn days”. No “Earn Days” only “Earn Meals” which are much easier to bounce back from.
4. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
5. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
6. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.
R43 SW 193.8 EW 195.6 +1.8 lbs Gain
R44 SW 195.6 EW 192.4 - 3.2 lbs Loss
R45 SW 192.4 EW = TBD
Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 Today’s weight: 192.4 going out of town today so tomorrow’s weight is not going to be good. Started this challenge with a 1.5 mile walk after dinner and a total of over 9000 steps for the day. Ate fairly healthy though my carbs were a bit over. Calories were good.
6/28 Today’s weight: 194.6 I knew this would happen. Restaurants are my weakness for sure! So much better to eat at home when you can!
6/29 Today’s weight: 192.4 Walked 10,332 steps yesterday. Followed my keto low carb diet very well. Restrained from the late night bingeing, but it was difficult. Used 2 squares of 90% cacao chocolate as my compromise. Bitter but better than nothing. Logged well. Drank my water, vinegar and tea. My blood sugar numbers were fantastic so my body probably loves me right now. I am proud I made it through another day successfully and that the scale reflected my sacrifices.
6/30 Today’s weight: 191.4. Walked 11,005 steps yesterday including work and home. Intermittent fasted for 16:8. No actual exercise or intended walk yesterday due to extreme weather so I am pleased with the scale. I followed my diet without any trouble and reached most of my macros though I was a smidgen low on protein. It’s going to be 100 degrees here in Northern Michigan today which is uncharacteristic of my area. We do not even have air conditioning so wish me well!
7/01 193.8 Went off course on diet yesterday due to heat. High sodium restaurant carry out since it was too hot to cook or even grill outside. Tons of water due to heat/thirst. I hope this will prove to be mainly water weight. Another hot day coming but I am hoping to do better today with meal planning. I got in 10,762 steps yesterday around the house working. I intermittent fasted 16:8. But otherwise, I pretty much blew it. More self-sabotage in the eating dept. and lots of water which is going nowhere with what I ate. I will be working hard on all this today despite more high 90’s degree weather expected.
7/02 194.6 My son’s birthday so what can I say? I intermittent fasted 16:8. I walked over 13,000 steps. I drank the water, the vinegar and the tea. But my diet was lousy. Binge, Binge. In the evening I came to my senses and started being very careful and I put in the walking. I hope tomorrow will be better.
7/03 191.6 whoosh! Yesssss….. I'm all over the place here but that's to be expected with this heat and water intake. I walked 13,583 steps yesterday walking 5.75 miles including a brisk 50 minute walk for exercise. Intermittent fasted 16:8. Lots of water again. Followed diet pretty carefully. I did have some chocolate at night during a binge attack but I tried to keep it reasonable. I don’t know why I’ve suddenly lost my willpower but I’m working on it. Just glad to see some of that water I’ve been drinking ( because of the heat ) finally release. Ah… There’s hope afterall for this challenge!
