Didn’t check in yesterday. Sort of treading water at this point. Had good intentions yesterday but got last minute invite to dinner at a restaurant. Didn’t track but managed to be mindful with eating. Committed to tracking today.

@Bendiz_ Our bodies seem to take a little time to decide what to do with what we have consumed. Under eating today probably WON’T be reflected on the scale tomorrow. I find it takes 2-3 days.

@vdecosta86 I told my daughter to start cutting carbs a couple of weeks before we visited in December because I was going to help her transition to Keto. She didn’t and thought she was going to die the first day (back at work.)

@81meg1L Edit function is limited to 1 hour. Copy and paste (from memo or note) seems to work best for me.

@puttyputty Coke Zero for me! I gave up diet soda a few years ago because everyone told me it makes you gain. Well after my 12 month “experiment” I had gained 12 pounds. I only have it if we are out to eat because the water in Henderson is nasty! Be mindful of that knock on the head! Prayers!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

7/07 133.5 My 40th Round! Working in maintenance or continued slow loss as I am already below my initial goals of 137 and 135. I’ll be traveling starting next Saturday.
7/08 133.0 Over calories, over macros, 4 servings of vodka (assuming they even put vodka in the drinks at the casino!) Two there, two at home. I slept like a baby!
7/09 133.0 Starting today I’m doing a 4 day Beef and Butter Fast with some of my online Keto friends. I love burgers! But there other recipes too! YUM!

Love this challenge. Goal this round: always be aware of what I’m eating. Maybe it should be always be aware of what I’m doing because the eating I regret always comes with mindless doing, procrastination, and/or tiredness. Also want to get in all my gym days and some kind of exercise every day. A ‘just for 10 days’ experiment.

7/07, Saturday – 161.8 Hoping this will be easy to get down to the 160’s.
7/08, Sunday – 161.8 Seems like I spent most of yesterday on the phone but did get in some gardening in the evening – first time placing stones in a two level bed. It was a lot of fun and think it turned out well.
7/09, Monday – 161.6 Gym today.
7/10, Tuesday – 161.8 Rain today – thankful that God decided to water and I don’t have to. Woke up early so decided to start my home exercises, aim to run through them all today (abt. 1 hr, and a spread it over the day). They make a good balance for the gym but haven’t done the whole lot in more than a year.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/07: Weight = 164.5 (down .4 from yesterday) Happy to see the scale moving in the right direction to start off this challenge! Yesterday was a good day - was able to squeeze in a short run between thunderstorms and completed day 19 of my exercise challenge which was a Posterior Chain workout (Thigh Jacks, Elevated Bridge Lifts, Triceps Dips, Swimmers, Single Leg Tabletops, 3-Way Calf Raises). So what I learned yesterday, is that I have SUPER weak back muscles. I've found in past workouts that doing Supermans are hard for me but the Swimmer's yesterday showed me just how weak my back is. Swimmers = lie on your stomach with your arms and legs fully extended - lift your arms and legs up and begin to paddle, alternating right leg, left arm up, then left leg, right arm like a swimmer, keep your lower back engaged for 45 seconds x 3. So that's something I definitely need to work on. On to day 20 today which is Cardio Ladders. I hope everyone has a great start to their weekend and to this challenge

7/08: Weight = 162.3 (down 2.2 from yesterday). I KNOW this is not a real loss. Slept in this morning and weighed-in super late so that will account for this low number. I don't expect this to be my weight tomorrow but as long as it is below 164.5 tomorrow, I'll be good. Yesterday I was below calories, on target with macros and completed my day 20 exercises. Around 10 p.m. I found myself doing a few walking laps of my house to get my Fitbit to 10,000 steps - so silly, but hey, it is making me move more. It's a beautiful day here today, and not hot or humid like last week, so going to go enjoy a nice run and then get my day 21 challenge workout. Probably grilling out tonight, love lazy summer days!

7/09: Weight = 162.3 Didn't expect this number to stick around, very surprised but happy! I still won't believe this is a real loss for another day or two. Yesterday was the last day of the break in the heat wave, going back up this week, so I enjoyed being outside and had a great run and then we cooked out last night. Husband cooked a flank steak, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers on the grill and he and our daughter had fajitas and I skipped the tortilla and had mine on top of a brown rice/quinoa grain salad, delicious! I completed day 21 of my exercise challenge which was all about back strengthening, which I need. Capped of the evening watching the Tour de France (so addicted to this every summer), so all in all a nice relaxing weekend. My daughter has extended school year (just 3 days a week during July only) starting this week and we live relatively close to where it is being held, so I'll be walking her there for drop off and walk back for pick-up, so should be adding in some extra calorie burn for the next month. Have a great start to your week, everyone!

7/10: .= 161.8 (down .5 from yesterday) I *think* I've broken through my plateau, I want to see another day in this range and then feel like these are real losses. Yesterday was a good day, I ate under calories and hit my macros, no alcohol, no gluten, lots of water and completed my day 22 challenge exercise which was a lateral/side body circuit workout. Also got in a 30 minute walk with my daughter to do a trial run to see how long it would take to get her to summer school, 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back. Although my plan is to walk her there for drop off and then run home and then run back for pick-up and walk home with her. Anything to get that extra calorie burn! My big happy moment yesterday was when I caught my daughter looking at me and then she said "Mommy, I can see it, you are losing weight. You look different than you did". That being said, I am always careful being the mother of an almost teenage girl, that I tell her I am doing this to get my fitness back and be strong and healthy not to be skinny.

I see some of you have this "Spoiler" "show" on you message. How do you do that?

puddlegoober

Last round was tough, but I'm not sure why, honestly. I want to say there are just cycles of temptation, that they are always there, and that they sometimes just "get you." When I say that it feels like I'm not being fully accountable to my addiction, though.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/7: 196.6 (+0.2), BF% = 15.9 (no change). I just kept eating. I need to listen to my body. I'm also bring avoidant here, the only place I am accountable.

7/8: 193.6 (-3.0), BF% = 15.6 (-0.3). Likely a DROOSH™. I had 3 drinks yesterday with my wife; all were Keto-friendly. Lunch and dinner were healthy, and I didn't over-snack or over-eat. I was a bit light on water, though, so I might be dehydrated (with a lower weigh-in than reality). Seeing the scale move in the right direction is a good thing today for my psyche. I've been feeling pretty bleh overall emotionally. Work isn't fun. I haven't played basketball in more than a week. I need to get back in the gym to strengthen my knee so I can get back to basketball. I'll go tomorrow after work.

7/9: 192.8 (-0.8), BF% = 15.5 (-0.1). Still happy to see things moving in the right direction. I was a bit under on both calories and macros. I'm still not feeling steady, but I feel much better than I did a few days ago.

7/10: 192.0 (-0.8), BF% = 15.4 (-0.1). I'm really encouraged by the last few days. I've been staying away from sweets, I've been eating within my macros... I've been doing everything well except keep up a consistent water intake. I'm rethinking my caffeine abstinence; apparently coffee is REALLY good for you. I hate the taste, but I'm thinking of trying to do some bulletproof nonsense (I'll find a recipe), because I don't want to die earlier than all you coffee drinkers! I didn't go to the gym today, but I'm going to do it today. I'm going home, cutting my hair (my head is not quite shaved, but I like it really, really short), and then heading straight to the gym. My wife works late tonight, so it will work out just fine. While I'm glad that I'm coming down from the ledge, I recognized these past few days as exactly the type of discouragement I've felt in the past that has led me directly to giving up. I REALLY don't want to give up. Being healthy and fit is REALLY important to me. I'm proud of myself, in that I never really considered giving up. This feels sustainable. Now I just need to keep the needle moving. I think I've decided that I'm going to take a break from weight loss when I hit 185, and try maintenance for a few weeks (with consistent exercise). I've never tried to do a "body recomp," but I'd like to try to lower my BF% (and know that it's not a product of simply losing weight).

7/7: 180.6 –Weird, because I ate badly yesterday, but not over calories. Today has not been good either, so I’m sure this won’t be on the books for long. Gotta get my head back in the game. Company leaves on Monday night and then perhaps I can resume some semblance of normalcy.

7/8: 181.6

7/9: 183.0

7/10: 180.2 Company has left and now I can get back to my life and the vast improvements I have to make. This round starts now for me.

@puddlegoober

When F & H + L + C is greater than the taste/enjoyment of S + RC + EO, you will “by CHOICE rather than HAVE to,” stop the S & RC & reduce EO!!

Where F = fear of regaining
H = improved healthy feelings/increased fitness
L = improved lab values from blood work
rC = reduction in Cravings

S= sweets
RC= refined carbs
EO = eating out

I am aware that all of my food choice & exercise changes & behavioral changes have been made to reduce cravings. I know if I don’t have cravings, I am enhancing my chances of success greatly.

I had to test & re-test many of my changes several times before I accepted that they weren’t in my best interests.

One thing I’ve done all along is set really easy goals. Then I always feel successful (and it helps with developing our maintenance mindset when the scale is no longer a great reward.) what might be a really easy goal for you to hit by the end of this Round? 1/4 lb, 1/2 lb, etc.

My Best. You’ve got this.

Ummm.... whaaaaaa!!! 🤯😂 no clue what’s happening and why. I worked out very late last night and ate within my goal. So did everything right. Did feel bloated for the first time last night so maybe that’s what this is? Oh well! Let’s see what happens in this round. I know progress will be slower now, even if I push myself. Last 10 lbs!! Also need to get better sleep.
7/08 - 120.4
Couldn’t workout yesterday as I felt my left knee was hurting a bit. It’s very mild. Never had any kind of issues with my knees before so didn’t want to push it without knowing what’s happening. Need to figure out moves/workouts to mediate the pain and it’s almost gone with rest now. I cooked and made flan last night and hoping not to overdo it with food today!
7/09 - 119.6
Ok, so that is good. Weird weigh in yesterday and day before that better not happen again! 😂 walked for an hr. Yesterday and it felt good and my knee got to rest too. I think I’ll try to do my regular bike cardio today. Let’s see. Lack of well rested and enough sleep seems to be important for how my days go and also weigh-ins in the mornings.
7/10 - 119.4
Yay! Warm up and workout yesterday, knee feels better too. Good sleep last night and within my calories.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/07- 194.1 So far so good. I thought I might have gone over my calories yesterday at one meal so ate lightly for the rest of the day. Hopefully 193.something tomorrow.
7/08- 194.8
7/09- 194.1 I'm glad the scale went down from yesterday but today isn't a good day in terms of diet so far. I'm not sure how many calories was in the food my brother got me at all. I've overestimated just to be safe and am well over my calorie limit today. I think it's important that the only food I eat from now on especially when I'm trying to lose weight is what I make and prepare for myself. Not from anyone or anywhere else. We still have 7 days left and I want to get the most out of it. Tomorrow everything will be pre-planned and I will stick to it. Can't have this happening anymore.
7/10- 194.3 surprised this isn't much higher. today is going to be a good day. Got everything planned out so just need to follow it which isn't a hard thing to do once I have the plan in place.

Round 45 report: Logged later a few days, but average sugar consumption was quite a lot lower which was a goal. Got a couple of nice cardio workouts in, average weight is down.

Round 46 GOAL = Maintain weight. That's it. I am trying to control my anxiety by making rules again, and it's time to stop when my perfectionism is driving the bus; that's a "recipe" for disaster.

7/7 - 125.8 - yesterday under maintenance, 10K steps, got in a walk/run to gym and 20 mins on elliptical.
7/8 - 126.2 - yesterday over maintenance, due to some middle of night can't-sleep sugar. Got in a pretty solid at-home strength workout yesterday - resistance bands, exercise ball etc.
7/9 - 125.4 - yesterday under maintenance, 10K steps, got a 3.5 mile run in with some walk intervals, it was hot but ran to gym and then ran on treadmill. A day to stack up and check off the things that will make me feel better: taking care of bills, stretching, taking vitamins, sitting with the mindfulness exercise, and getting a run.

7/10 - 126.8 - yesterday under maintenance, 10K steps including a short run to gym, 35 mins on the elliptical, and slow walk home. Unfortunately the gym was steaming (it's more of a lifter's gym, hardly anyone does hard cardio there for more than 10 minutes but me, and it has west facing windows...) and by the time I got home I was BROKEN.

Dinner helped, but after passing out for 5 hours I woke at 3AM with a headache and weak willpower, and some sugar has gone down the hatch. Possibly my body is just replenishing its glycogen, I have worked out pretty hard a few days in a row ... All will be well, it's just finding my sea legs with summer here in norcal

Feeling quite frustrated with these bumps, I need to just dig deep, stick with it and wait for the scales to start behaving again! - Looking for a downward trend to see out this round now! Really focused on my logging. Thanks @gomezdiana06 for the words of support and encouragement! Daily weighing can be tough.

I am SO SO determined!! I 100% NEED to stay mindful about my daily logging and being mindful about what I eat and drink.

This is a long term thing, a few bad days is something I'm getting better at coping with.
