This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
7/27 135.5 The aftermath of sitting in a car for 2 days.
7/28 135.0 @0500 I have been craving burnt ends from a local BBQ place. I forgot to tell them no sauce. I think this has dropped me out of nutritional ketosis. Color me sad. Why would you slather sauce on meat that has been dry rubbed and smoked and tasted awesome? The sauce is awful!
7/29 134.5 Ate well yesterday but wanted “something.” I haven’t had one of those days sine I started keto over a year ago. Finally got a fat bomb out of the freezer and all was well. I’m curious about where everyone is and what your high temperatures are. I live in the desert SW - Las Vegas, and the temperature this morning at 5:30AM was 91*F with anticipated high of only 109 today.
7/30 133.5 Water fitness was great!
7/31 133.5
8/1 133.5
8/2 133.5 What a lousy night! I know good sleep is supposed to help with weight loss but how does one get good sleep? I went to bed early (before 10:30) for me last night but woke up about four times and finally gave up and got up at 3:30 this morning.11 -

Round 48 goal: 177.6
Day/Weight/Comment
7/27: 178.8. I won’t lie, this was a late weigh-in, but I’m taking it. I’m still playing nutritional roulette. Why? I know how critical it is for me to get my weight down and my nutrition on point. I’m in my 50s and I can’t afford to keep eating like a 11-year-old let loose in a junk food store. Today, for example, I had a banana in the morning, nothing all day and then a jam sandwich, diet coke and a piece of chocolate that my son bought for me. I’m way low on calories, but not given my body one bit of nutrition. No point in whining though. I’ll just start over right now.
7/28: 178.4
7/29: 178.8. Super lazy weekend. Binge watched an entire two seasons of Queen of the South. I was so absorbed my accent changed to Southern and I could swear like a trooper in Spanish. Feels like I spent the weekend in Mexico and Texas. That being said, no exercise, no effort to eat well, so up we go!!
7/30: 178.8
7/31 178.4
8/01 179.8 It’s what happens when you eat half of a huge bag of Twizzlers and a bowl of chips. You know, I have to laugh at myself. I spend my life teaching my boys, who are now 20 and 21, the importance of the quality of food you put into your system. I drone on about balanced diets, the evils of excess sugar, the effects of food-like substances on energy levels and sleep patterns. Best part is, they’ve taken it all on board and eat well, exercise daily and have junk food in moderation. I am a great teacher – if only I was a better learner!!!
8/02 179.4 Think I’m going to have to be more consistent with my weigh in times. I’m all over the board and it’s frustrating. I ate way below calories yesterday and did almost 14,000 steps. Was hoping for a slightly bigger drop, but I’ll wait it out. Today is another day to do well.

7/27- Out of town, no weigh in. Long road trip yesterday which meant fast food dinner. I anticipated it so I budgeted well prior to hitting the road. Opted for a kid’s meal, which helped with the calories.
7/28- Out of town, no weigh in. Peach cobbler.
7/29- Out of town, no weigh in. Blueberry muffins. Couldn’t say no to the muffins toddler baked with his grandmother.
7/30- 225.0 I was so apprehensive stepping on the scale this morning. I was convinced I gained 5 pounds over the weekend. What a relief! 10% body weight loss. I can’t wait til it really sticks for me to log it officially!
7/31- 224.4 Getting back in the groove. Pasta for dinner last night but still within calories. It seems that once one person noticed recent weight loss at work, others are chiming in as well.. I say thank you and move on as I’m feeling a bit self conscious.
8/01- 223.0 Hmmm. Not sure I trust this number even though I stepped off and on several times AND reset the scale by weighing something a lot less than me. I’ll take it for today though. NSV- I broke up with an X! Down to XL. That X did not bring anything positive to my life. Good riddance, you. I never plan on letting you back in my life.
8/02- 222.2 I’ve seen the term “whoosh” here and there. Hopefully that’s not the trademarked one. Is that what’s happening? I don’t know. I’ll ride this wave but expecting a bump in the next few days.

@lolakinks Thank you for opening up and sharing your struggle. I have also struggled with depression and anxiety, and the stability you talk about for me comes with managing my food and remembering that EVERYTHING CHANGES. The world we live in is always changing, and as such, there is no stability! I have come to realize that I need to create the stillness for myself, because whenever I think I have found the "secret", something shifts. I found my soul mate and thought that was the solution, of course it was not. I had a baby and that worked for a while, then not. I got the house I wanted and was happy, then not. Whenever I have attached my wellbeing to something, someone or someplace, it inevitably changes. I know I am not you, and depression is a very personal thing, but I hope that in sharing my journey it may help you in some small way. I can promise you that everything changes, and even the dips will eventually pass if we can just breathe. My teenage son just shared this video with me that helped him come out of a 3 year dark place-Hope it's okay to post here.

7/27- 170 Ate 3 tacos at dinner time last night and went way over my sodium for the day. But I also did 2 workouts as well 😊
7/28- 170
7/29- 170 Patiently waiting for the 160's! Trying to get a workout in every day and staying within my calorie range. It's amazing how much better I feel already though!
7/30- 169! My family keeps bringing goodies to our home, cobblers, cakes and the other day doughnuts. I've been trying to stay away from all of it but yesterday I gave in to the doughnuts lol. Still proud of myself! 😊
7/31- 168 I sure hope my scales are right. I know it's still early in my journey (14 days in, 7 lbs down) so the weight loss will probably slow down soon.
8/01- 168
8/02- 167 Consistancy is key! Staying within my calorie range and getting a workout in daily, even if its only 10-15 minutes.

7/27 157.8 I am not sure how everyone else counts their loss for a round, but I am taking today's starting weight as my ending weight for last round, which means I met my goal for the round! I have been wanting to share with all of you how much it means to me to be able to read about your progress, your stumbles, your victories and your challenges. We so often look around us and don't realize how alike we all are. I used to feel like I was the only one who struggled, everyone else had it all together. This diverse group that we are, men, women, younger and not, we are all very much alike and it really helps me to share my daily *stuff* here with you. Love you all!!
7/28 159 I know that although I have been logging I have been estimating too much. Yesterday I made the tradeoff to have a relaxed day with my son which meant eating off plan with him, necessary I think for him if that makes sense. He convinced me to buy some paint since I have a stack of canvases sitting for over a year, I love to paint but have been off that path for a while, not feeling creative. Weight gain and unconscious eating does more to me than make me fat. It takes away my creativity, me sex drive, my joy, my desire to do more, all things I am noticing now as they come back. Thanks to being inspired by @mthomas0288 and her workout challenges I signed up for a free 30 day workout and *yikes* start today. I am excited to see what the next 30 days brings, since I am realizing that weight loss alone will not give me the results I want in my body.
**I just googled *kitten* though this is probably old news for you veterans on MFP I was finally confused enough about why everyone was using it lol
7/29 158.6 Did day one of my 30 day challenge and though it was only a 15 minute workout I am sore today which feels so good!
7/30 WEIGH IN DAY 158 under ate yesterday and didn't drink enough H2O, will do better today.
7/31 157.4 Good day yesterday, son brought ice cream home for the fam but I was not even tempted. Walked dogs 4 miles we were all tired! Did day 2 of my 30 day challenge. Prelogged all my food for today. Nicely sore and feeling alive!
8/01 156.6 Lowest weight so far on this journey. Back in March I weighed in at 163.8 but did not have my head in the game until I had gained up to 171 and got motivated in June. I have been through this up and down so many times in my life, and I know I need to be vigilant and change what I have done in the past if I don't want to bounce up again. Weight loss for me has always been the easy part, maintenance is where I have slipped up. I guess it is the same with money. Easy to earn compared to saving. Anyway, this daily checkin with you all has really helped me, and it is the first time I am doing it this way. Thank you again to all of you who read, like, hug, and comment. It means so much
8/02 155.4 That's my goal for this round, but now comes the challenge. Headed out on our annual Big Sur camping trip with the fam, 14 adults/teens and 5 little ones. My husband has some decadent cast iron pot recipes like pizza and 4 cheese mac n cheese he is planning, and they have super decadent high fat soft serve ice cream at the snack bar, plus the River Inn up the road is our favorite spot for a cocktail by the river, onion rings, and sweet potato fries. Needless to say it will take focus for me to choose wisely but also enjoy myself. I will only get 1 ice cream (sometimes I've been guilty of 2 a day on this trip) and stay with vodka soda at the bar, maybe a couple of fries no more but only if it sounds good at the moment. Will hike with the dogs and keep moving more than sitting. I am the chef at home so I like to chill more when we camp, but I'm handling the veggies, breakfast and salads, so I can be sure to have lots of healthy choices for myself.

Hubby's bd yesterday, but I ate a lovely, healthy lunch out - grilled shrimp, salad, broccoli, one spoonful of his dessert. Yesterday evening I went for a 4-mile walk along the Maumee River on the beautiful Rivergreenway.

One of those mysterious upticks. All is well. It looks like a beautiful day, so I'm hoping to get at least one nice walk along one of our three rivers. Enjoy your weekend!

Splurged a little last night on ice cream and crackers (not together!) and my sodium was a little higher than usual, so no surprise. Pants I haven't worn in a while feel looser, so there's that! I've been having a lot of lower back and hip pain and blood work shows significant inflammation, so in addition to seeing a chiropractor I'm going to start an anti-inflammation cleanse in a few days. Happily, it's not very different from how I typically eat - the main things I'll have to give up are coffee (no biggee if I have my herbal teas) and chicken, which we eat fairly often. Anyway, I'm not doing it for weight loss, but will be interested to know whether it makes a difference (heavy on veggies, whole grains/no bread or grain-based pasta, and healthy fats). It's the Journey Alive 8-week cleanse program by Coralie Murphy, which is science-based and not extreme. Has anyone here done it?

7/31 - 148.3 - 1251 - 10-day ave 1457
Hmmm. I'm recording my moving average weights -- my actual weight has been steadily rising for the past 4 days (from 147.6 - 148.8 - 149 - 1496 - 149.8). I guess that makes sense in terms of my 10-day calorie averages (although those are actual, not net after exercise), but seems excessive. I have been sporadically taking Ibuprofen for back/hip/neck pain, so maybe water retention? I don't care that I'm not losing, but don't like the steady gains. And this hurting business has gotten old very quickly.
8/01 - 148.4 - 1743 - 10-day ave 1461
My actual weight has come back down .4, so I'm sure the increase is water from NSAIDs. I'm still researching anti-inflammatory regimes, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to start by cutting wheat, milk, and added sugars (which I get very few of anyway). Quite an adjustment - no more whole-wheat muffins with peanutbutter. :
8/02 - 148.4 - 1335 - 10-day ave 1458
Today I'm starting a strict anti-inflammatory diet to see if it helps. Waiting for more blood work results. Ugh.

I was doing some research on keto and how it works. Then I started looking at my diet. I'm completely going in the wrong direction. When I started trying to change my life style a few weeks ago I thought I was doing a good thing by eating Lean Cuisine and other brands like that for lunch. The calories was great and to be honest most of the food is pretty good. Problem is at the end of the day carbs are like 2 thirds of my diet. Sodium is higher than I like as well but still not bad.
Don't get me wrong, I'm eating better then I usually would but I think it may be time to stop buying the frozen foods that's "healthy" and start making my own. I'm not having any problem with calories now but I seem to have forgotten about everything else that's in the food.
I dunno. What do you guys think?
@grebber1 Personally, I feel better and my body looks better when I prepare meals from scratch. Lowering overall calorie intake is great and will definitely help with fat loss. You nailed the crux of the matter with your observation of the quality of your calories. Keto, Paleo, reduced fat, or whatever lifestyle works for you physically and psychologically, you can't go wrong with more whole foods and less processed foods. 5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 178.2 // Although this is a gain from some of my lowest weights recently it’s a decrease in my starting weight over the last three rounds. I know that tomorrow I’m going to spend all day eating out so I’m hoping to keep my diet in check today.
7/28 177.2/ Happy to see a decrease!
7/29 178.2/ I ate out for pretty much every meal yesterday and didn’t drink enough water so this was to be expected. I’m getting back on track today and trying to rehydrate.
7/30 177.8/ This is helpful after eating out again last night. We’re spending the rest of the week eating at home and I’ll be drinking plenty of water during work today. The weather isn’t great so I might do a work-out video when I get home. I’m looking forward to plenty of losses this week.
7/31 177.4/ I ate really well yesterday and had plenty of water. I have a boxing class tonight and have planned all of my meals for the day already.
8/01 177.4/ I was hoping to get to 175ish by the end of the challenge, but now I’m shooting for below 177.
8/02 176.2/ There’s hope to be in the 175s! I ate like *kitten* yesterday, but tried to keep everything under my calorie goals. I’m doing way better today and have planned all of my meals.

I'm back! Was doing this challenge last year for a while. I think from about round 11 - 17. Got off track and am ready to get serious again.I'm 60 years old, soon to be 61. I like to walk and do yoga, but haven't been doing either lately.
I mostly eat a Paleo type diet, but just bought some ketostix and may give keto a whirl, but not until after my anniversary and birthday in August. I've done two rounds of Whole30 and had really good results from it.

7/31-116 the scale won’t move 😢. This is the point where I usually give up, but I can’t let that happen this time.

@4JWS Patience, give your body time to adjust. There are a lot of chemical/hormonal changes going on inside which are triggered by fat loss.2 -
Thought for the day: Will obsessing over everything make me feel better? I think not.

7/27 last night I caved. I had a double plate of dinner and a chocolate bar...or 2. I didn't exercise at all and only drank 1 liter of water. I havent been this hungry in over two weeks. What I'm trying to say is I was too scared to weigh myself this morning so I didn't. I know I should have, just to hold my self accountable but I chickened out. Well I'm jumping back in today and going to work hard to try to get whatever weight I gained yesterday off. I have noticed a 1 day a week trend where I derail, I will have to work on that, at least until I drop a good amount of weight and then I will probably reconsider the "cheat meal" idea.
7/28 --170.8 so back to my starting weight. Worked out hard yesterday and got in 1.5 liters of water. I'm impressed because my workouts are getting easier and easier from when I started...so happy about that. Last night my fiancee grabbed chips and cookies but I managed to stay away...personal win. I already feel like it's going to be a tempting weekend so I'm going to have to be extra mindful and keep up my determination. I'm also impressed because my man has been playing Pokemon go lately which means he likes to go for walks now (he hates going out and walking, grocery shopping can be a drag with him) so i have been going out and walking around more then usual..which is a plus hope everyone has a great and mindful weekend
7/29 --171 last night had a day/night out with friends, pizza and beers. Tried not to over eat or drink but it obviously still hit me. No exercising and low on the water, it's ok though could have gained more
7/30--170.6 stayed within my calorie goal and although didn't do my usual workout, I did spend the majority of my day out and about walking around so at least it's something. Drank 1.5 liters of water. Trying to stay motivated, I have been working out relentlessly for about three weeks now (slowing down within the last couple of days) and I just assumed I would have seen a higher loss by now. My eating habits have been good and my water intake has been fair. Trying to keep my head up though and push on. Hopefully after today I will finally see those 160s. I can't wait to see some sort of progress
7/31--170 slow and steady is my pace. Ate within calories, worked out and finally pushed the 2 liters of water. Mentally feeling better today so that's good. Just feeling a little bloated, why? I have no clue lol. I am so anxious to be in those 60s lol
8/01-- 168.8 Wooooooooot!!! Had to check three times lol. I exercised good yesterday, ate under my calories and 1.7 liters of water. I hope this sticks and isn't one of those weigh ins that only lasts for the day. Mind you I feel good about it because I slowly got here.... so happy!!! Another plus, slept good last night and I don't feel bloated anymore.
8/02-- 169.2 was good all day but then my hubby decided to break out the chips. I had a bit of extra calories and decided to stay within the 20 chip limit..... not to self: this never works, it was as if the minute I started eating them I just wanted more and more shhhhhheeeesh. I also had a laze day with the exercising, even walked very little. This round hasn't been my best with exercising but I am not planning to make this a habit. I am absolutely determined to keep going. well back to it then

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 188.4 Self Sabotage during and after a night out with friends yesterday. My own fault, no excuses. Ate 166 Net Carbs, 1972 Calories In / 2675 Out. 11 of 13 step hours (250) on fitbit. Walked 3.98 miles with 9,393 steps. Did great today so tomorrow’s stats should be much better. Socializing makes it tough!
7/28 186.0 whoosh…, high sodium and water weight gone for good along with doubts and self-sabotage. It was a good day yesterday. I worked hard to make up for my social night out. I ate 19 Net Carbs. 1192 Calories In / 3089 Calories Out. 13/13 fitbit steps (250). Blood sugar 126 before meal test (still suffering a bit from day before). Brisk 3 mile walk at school track. Day’s total was 16,625 steps and a total of 7.03 miles for the day. Best victory was that I made good healthy choices in my meals all day (not just stayed in my macros). I did indulge in that 90% Lindt chocolate, but it kept my cravings curbed as well as serves as an antioxidant. An overall very successful day.
7/29 185.2 Overall good day but not as active due to some light but frequent car time. I at 19 Net Carbs. 1263 Calories In / 2354 Calories Out. Did 9,246 steps with no particular exercise involved. Walked 3.92 miles and hit 11/13 steps hours (250) on fitbit. Followed my diet very well but drank very little water or fluids overall. I plan on drinking much more today. I forgot to check my blood sugars yesterday. My doctor has me checking before meals now instead of in the morning so I often forget to do it before I eat. I made delicious Keto friendly Jalepeno poppers yesterday. So fast, easy and delicious. Just cut off ends of Jalepenos, slice in half (like a canoe). Take out seeds and ribs (rinse under water if you need to). Fill with cream cheese (and a little salt if you need more sodium.) wrap in ½ slice of bacon, or lay ¼ slice on top (depends on how many calories you want. Bake on 375 until bacon is done to your liking. Net carb about 1 to 1.5 per popper (half) calories about 60 – 70 (depending on how high you heap the cream cheese). I use about ½ TBSP per popper of cream cheese so calories are about 70 each. Yummy!
7/30 188.8 Went way overboard out of town in restaurant(s). But tons of walking and steps. I hope I can get this number back down quickly, hoping it’s water weight too. 397 net carbs (ouch!). 2704 Calories In / 3515 Calories out. How can I gain when CI are over 800 less than CO ? So hoping a lot of it is fast moving water weight. Had 17,172 steps. 13/13 fitbit step hours (250). Total miles logged on fitbit 7.28 miles with no actual intended exercise or walks due to the travel. Steps and miles were work related when I arrived at destination. Water consumption good. Just went hog wild on the special foods that was made available to me during my trip. I am working hard today to stick to my guns and remedy the situation. Just being human and imperfect , but today I feel strong and not so tempted.
7/31 185.8 Thank you water loss and results from continual movement of my body (even if not hard exercise). I tried to keep my food intake all very low carb and calorie to get back on track. Today I will focus on good eating habits with a bit higher calories than yesterday. Yesterdays STATS: 11 Net Carbs. 819 Calories In / 3171 Calories Out. 17,328 steps including a brisk 3 mile walk at the school track. Total miles walked on fitbit 7.33 miles. 13/13 fitbit step hours (250). Forgot to check blood glucose prior to meal. I am still practicing Intermittent Fasting most days with 16:8. My walking friend stopped for icecream immediately following the walk at the school. They ate theirs. I watched. I am proud that I had a good day. I binge at least once per challenge (don’t mean to or want to). But it’s never hard to get back on track. It’s just hard to stay there sometimes. Happy Tuesday everyone!
8/01 185.4 STATS: 27 net carbs. 1335 Calories In / 2743 Calories Out. 13/13 fitbit (250) step hours. 11,137 total steps. 4.71 Miles. No planned exercise or evening walk. Busy. Intermittent Fasted 14:10 to work around schedule. A little high in Net Carbs and Calories In but lots of healthy choices and veggies today. No cheats, No binges. I treated the kids to waffle chocolate sundaes at home, I had a zucchini boat with bacon & onion. Staying strong……Happy with progress. Tomorrow night is my social night out (Thursdays). My diet will likely suffer so I will try to fit in some exercise or a brisk walk this evening to help with tomorrow’s overages.
8/02 184.0 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 18 Net Carbs. 1172 Calories In / 2709 Calories Out. 10/13 fitbit (250) step hours. 13,397 total steps. 5.67 Miles. Nice long 3 mile brisk evening neighborhood walk but lots of sitting and paperwork otherwise. Intermittent Fasted 16:8. Lots of very healthy choices again today. Progress good. HOWEVER, Thursday nights are a social event where the ladies bring potluck (not much choice on food). I will eat something light before going so that I don’t overeat. But I do look forward to the different recipes and the social aspect of the dinner. I expect a bump up tomorrow which I will whittle away at. I am not recording this low weight on MFP just yet because of tonight's excursion. My before meal glucose yesterday was 128. My son will weigh later today (when he wakes up) and I will report that tomorrow.

I noticed that whenever I see a nice loss I tend to sabotage myself by eating junk food. I don't know why, I never plan this. I always feel good when I see the scale drop but then by the end of the night it's as if my will power to say no just drops.
Does anyone else do this? Is there any advice anyone can give for these moments?4 -

7/27 - 183.6 - Had poor eating day yesterday, managed to stay within goal but barely. My daughter had been in an accident, she is OK but being her Mama I had to go to the hospital and see it with my own eyes to believe her.
7/28 - 184.0 - another unexpected task added on at suopertime. Ended up eating McDonald’s for supper. Still in calorie goal but not part of my plans.
7/29 - 185.2 - Went for a date night on Saturday our first in a long time, so fully enjoyed it. Stayed in maintenance but lots of carbs and sodium
7/30 - 185.2 - Yesterday ate in maintenance as well, very hot and didn't feel like cooking so ate out. Will get back on track today.
7/31 - 185.0 - Had a good day yesterday, even got a walk in.
8/01 - 184.2 a little surprised since I had too much sodium yesterday

Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.
07/27 - 157.2 (no change from yesterday) I had a really good exercise day yesterday! Was able to get a run in and completed the 1st week of my 90 day challenge with the day 7 exercises. Food wise, everything was on point. I'm tired today and super happy it's Friday! So looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, although a later weigh-in may sque the number on the scale. I bought a book yesterday that was recommended by another person on a similar weight loss/fitness journey called Intuitive Eating and looking forward to diving into this book over the weekend. Welcome to everyone new to this challenge, excited to see what this round brings!
07/28 - 157.0 (down .2 from yesterday) Late weigh-in this morning and hopefully will have a late weigh-in tomorrow, so we'll see what the scale brings on Monday with a normal weigh-in time. Yesterday I completed day 8 of my 90 day challenge: Body Squat w/ 2 Knee Lift, Incline Push Ups, Alternating Reverse Lunges, Elbow Plank, 4-Point Triceps Dips, Side Step Squat w/ Bicep Curls (used dumbbells), & Bridge Lifts. My upper body is my weakest area (in terms of strength) and I put on weight here 1st and lose here last. Those 4-point triceps dips were hard!! But the sense of accomplishment after is worth all the pain of doing them! On point yesterday with nutrition, calories & macros. Today is a scheduled rest day and my plan was to do nothing, but my daughter just got invited over to a friend's house, which opens me up to be able to get outside and get a run in - Yay!
07/29 - 156.7 (down .3 from yesterday) Didn't get to sleep in this morning as my daughter had a friend sleepover and they were up quite early wanting breakfast. They had a baked berry French toast, I had prepped the night before, I took a small bite but it didn't really interest me, happy to stick to my green smoothie. Yesterday was a partial rest day, just did a short run, it was a little warm but there was a nice breeze so no complaints. I did my day 10 of 90 workout earlier this morning and for the rest of the day I'm hoping to get some meal prep in and then have some nice family time with my husband and daughter. Enjoy your day everyone
07/30 - 156.3 (down .4 from yesterday) I've got a feeling my weight is about to have a little bounce up, maybe I'm wrong but we'll see. Usually when it drops like this (more than .2 a day), it goes up a bit and then settles back down. I'll just keep plugging along and roll with it. I didn't get enough sleep on Saturday night, so yesterday wasn't the best. I felt sluggish in my workout, and while I ate according to plan, I didn't eat enough. I took a huge afternoon nap and then couldn't sleep last night and stayed awake stressing about all sorts of things. So not good! I'm about to make some protein pancakes for breakfast and get re-charged for the day. Today is an active recovery day for day 11 of my 90 day challenge, so looking to get some yoga in, self care, and do the meal prep that didn't happen yesterday. Let's have a great start to this new week everyone!
07/31 - 156.5 (up .2 from yesterday) There's that little bump I felt coming, no reason for it except normal weight fluctuations. Yesterday was good food wise and an easy day 11 of 90 challenge wise with just gratitude sun salutations scheduled. My lower back was in a lot of weird pain yesterday so I did yoga stretches throughout the day, Epson salt bath, and alternated heat and ice therapy. Still feel kinda of wonky this morning. I've done my stretches again and will do these a couple more times throughout the day and then see about my day 12 of 90 workout later today. It is mostly upper a body/booty workout, so it should be fine but I'll see how the back situation progresses before tackling this. I'm okay with taking a day off if needed. And, sleep seems to be my big issue this round, another night with little of it. My daughter was not sleeping last night, she is 12 and has OCD/Anxiety issues and last night was one of the night she just didn't sleep, which puts me on high alert that she is about to have an OCD blow-up/anxiety attack. So I was checking in on her all night to make sure all was good. She was okay but just not sleeping, but she has seemed "off" since the weekend so I know something is coming and I need to be ever watchful of her. She has been on meds. for the past couple months prescribed by her pediatrician as a "hold in place" until we can get her on a regular medication protocol by a Psychiatric MD. We are finally getting closer to that appointment which is August 20th, which I am just living for. The medication she is on right now is really just a sedative to try to keep her in a calmer place, the goal is to get her on something that will deal with the actual OCD symptoms, which in turn will put her in a calmer place. We also do CBT therapy, this drug protocol was a last result this year after years of dealing with this. It's hard. She is such a wonderful, happy child when not troubled by these issues, I hate seeing her have to deal with all this. But I will say, I am handling of it it so much better since I decided I had to focus on me again as well. Being in control of my health, nutrition, and fitness makes me able to be a better parent for her.
08/01 - Weight = 156.1 (down .4 from yesterday) Closing in on my goal for the round, hope saying that doesn't jinx it! Yesterday was a pretty good day, ate well & under calories and was able to do my day 12 exercises, albeit a little gingerly, due the nagging lower back pain. Back pain is still there today, but improving. Today is a scheduled rest day on my 90 day challenge. My mind tells me that there are too many rest days on this plan and that I should do something anyway, but my body feels like it needs the rest, I have to reset my mind to trust the plan, there are improvements happening when you give your body time to recovery,
08/02 - Weight = 156.3 (up .2 from yesterday), playing this fun weight game again, up and down, up and down
Took my rest day yesterday and my back is much improved today, looking forward to getting my day 14 of 90 exercises done today and be at the halfway point for the 1st month of the challenge. Ate under calories yesterday, but sodium was a little higher than usual (still within macro range) and my water weight percentage was way up on my scale this morning when I weighed-in, may explain the 0.2 lb little uptick on the scale.

@abowersgirl I feel your frustration and completely relate. The only solution that works for me is to not have it in my home. Chips, crackers, nuts, pretzels, dried fruit, peanut butter, desserts, dry cereal, all of these are my binge triggers. I will chow until it's gone then look for more.
The difficult part for you is your husband; being in the same room with someone who is enjoying your trigger food can be torture. Maybe you can find something to do that removes you from the temptation. A bubble bath works for me (when I actually follow my own advice, lol). The soapy scent and relaxing environment soothes the snack beast.7 -

“Overall, during this period, you have lost 2,355 cals (net Calories deficit), which means you should have lost 11oz. Your total Calories intake was 14,632 and your total Calories expended was 16,987 (of which, 3,848 cals were burned from exercise).
According to your weigh-ins, you've gained about 2lb during this time. You've lost about 2.7lb less than expected.”
Hahahahahaha!!! So I guess I *really* weigh 163.7, which I believe.
Culprit: two salty meals? Many more steps?? More sleep! Not going to worry about it. Still...it is disconcerting when I was so active & brought my food, weighed food, etc, tracked all. I see why folks have a 5-lb maintenance window.
Two planned & tracked restaurant meals which I don’t have normally.
Carrying on!

Had a bit of a carb pity party last night - all weighed & tracked LOL Not too far over in calories, but Very unlike me. I think I’m back on track today...a great night’s sleep should help me along.
Perspective helps: My wt is down for the month. My exercise was highest yet this month. All is good. Relax. You can do this & will learn from it.

Huge NSV last night. 3-mile walk with significantly faster pace over 8.5 mins faster per mile than I could do before & 3 times the distance!!!. Definitely STRONGER & more fit!!!!!! #grateful #thrilled

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 - R47 EW 192.0
7/27 - Friday - 192.6 - Well I self sabotaged myself last night. Didnt eat my snack, got home and went to the lake basically in avoidance mode. Starving on the way home and ordered pizza deal. Ate my hunger and my feelings. Woke up super grumpy today - stressed at work. Making a conscious effort to have a better attitude than I woke up with. Late start on water intake today. Had already planned on mexican for lunch so I'm going to enjoy it, log it, and move on. Same with last night - its over and done with. Today may not be too pretty eating wise either but honestly I'm more focused on my mental health today - I know food has a direct correlation to my mood so I'll remember that while being gentle with myself today.
7/28 - Saturday - 193.4 - Made it thru the day with minimal incidence of meltdown nor did I self sabotage - I are when I was hungry and didn't when I was full. Impromptu shopping trip with my mom today. Its bound to include lunch. I'll be present in the moment and listen to those hunger cues again. Happy saturday!
7/29 - Sunday - 194.6 - Oh restaurant food how you toy with my emotions. Not letting it get to me! Had a great day yesterday. Overindulged a bit at lunch. When I came home DH wanted to take me out on a date night for ice cream - so like any reasonable adult child in an adults body I had ice cream for dinner! I didnt spend the day feeling bad about the number, or trying to over compensate eating really well or starve myself. I just trust the process enough to know that tomorrow I'll be back on track.
7/30 - Monday - 193.2 - Ahh yes, rewarded for trusting the process. I was not perfect by any means yesterday. But I have been better about drinking my protein shake in the morning and taking my meds. Also trying to improve my NEAT. NSV's this weekend include, grocery shopping and sticking to the list, food prepped and meal planned for the week yesterday, trying on a bunch of clothes (down to a size 14 from a snug 16) and liking how I looked, handling stressful situations with more grace, and moving more in general! Oh and that pesky appraisal finally came back - it didnt let us down! So things are moving right along again, may even be able to move up closing! Onward!!!
7/31 - Tuesday - 193.2 - Finally got cracking on some cleaning/packing last night. It was a small dent - focused more on cleaning because the apartment is being shown Thursday, which I'm all worried about, because I hardly have friends over, nevermind strangers all up in my business BLAH. But it was great exercise and I made matzo ball soup for dinner before crashing. Happy to say I've cut back my eating out (this included a TON of drive thru in the past) to probably a quarter or less of what I used to do. Cooking at home doesn't have to be hard - and I'm relying on lots of different products to help make it easier. Like steam bag veggies, a frozen meal for lunch, tuna pouches, and bag salads. I try to eat local and organic as much as I can but lets be real...life is crazy and there is nothing wrong with having some help a long the way!
8/01 - Wednesday - 192.4 - Worked my butt off cleaning the house last night and getting to the laundromat - and also managed to make a home cooked dinner thanks to a little food prep on Sunday! Who am I?! I've had to seriously consider what needs my time and energy - because I'm prone to over extending myself and melting down. I'm learning to say NO. to things that do not serve me. NO. is a full sentence - I don't need to explain myself all the time. I am my number one priority right now - and it feels so good to be a little "selfish" after years and years of trying to pour for others out of my own empty cup. This weight loss journey is really blooming into a well rounded journey to better overall health.
8/02 - Thursday - 192.0 - Oh dear I just noticed this is a Sunday round end - usually my high weight for the week so might make a 2lb goal a little lofty - however I will visualize it anyway! Strangers in my house today! But we made a really good dent on getting things moving, packed, and tossed out. Protein shake in the morning and regular medicines have been improving steadily! I think I might make a frozen pizza and a bag salad for dinner tonight and swap the ground chicken for something tomorrow. The kitchen is clean for the time being and I tend to be a hurricane so this should be a nice balance without ordering take out.

Round 47- SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5lbs)
Round 48. In for my second time and loving the 10-day challenge. It's inspiring to see everyone here with many rounds completed and others who are just getting started like me.
Round 48 goals: 10,000 steps per day. In bed by 11 pm.
7/27- 152.5 - 13,000 steps, plus some extra exercise. Made time for breakfast and remembered to pack a healthy lunch.
7/28 -152 - 12,000 steps. Attended a wedding today. The food was not my style, so no trouble to not overindulge. Nearly two weeks of consistent exercise has sure made me feel better.
7/29 - 152.5 - 13,000 steps - Forgot to post.
7/30 - 153.5 - 15,000 steps. Prosecco and pizza and pasta, oh my. No surprise to see today's number. Got a nice little hike in with the family. It was our puppy's first hike and he was surprisingly well behaved! The weather is warm here (for the Pacific Northwest) and I'm glad to be back in my air conditioned office today. A study just came out that said that Seattle is the least air conditioned metropolitan city in the US. So when it's 80 degrees outside, there's no escape - it's also 80 degrees inside. I kind of just melt into my couch on hot weekends and don't want to move at all.
7/31 - 153 - 11,000 steps, elliptical and weight lifting. It's a little cooler here today and it feels sooo good. Glad to see the scale creeping back down.
8/01- 152.5 - Ha, just typo'd and entered that at 125.5. Wouldn't that be nice! 13,000 steps.
8/02 - 151. Didn't hit my step goal yesterday. I came home and was so tired I went right to bed for 12 glorious hours of sleep!! I'd been averaging closer to 5 hours a night, which just isn't enough. Based on yesterday alone, it's sleeping, not stepping, that drives the scale down for me.
