8/06 - 149.0 - Might be from vacation still or from the late dinner last night. Hoping to shed this extra weight quickly this round and get back to where I was. Today is the perfect day to get back on track.
8/07 - 147.8 - What a day back on track can do for you after a week of vacation.
8/08 - 146.6 - what a whoosh! Hopefully I don't bounce back too much, loving this number. Measurements today were awesome too Happy Wednesday everyone!
8/09 - 147.0 - A little bounce back but also had pizza and wings last night so it was definitely expected. Might see another jump tomorrow as I'm taking the kiddos out for lunch and school shopping today.
8/10 - 148.4 - and right back to where I started... Last night I told my husband I felt like I was eating like crap lately and this just proves me right. It's time for a change.

So much for feeling better on the anti-inflammatory plan - today I'm hurting all over. But I'm sticking with it - I know it takes at least a few weeks for dietary changes to make a difference. I managed to work in my garden for a while yesterday, dead heading flowers & other smallish jobs. I'm going for a walk now, before it gets too hot. Walking does seem to help a little.
8/07 - 146.4 - 1112 - 10-day ave 1344
Eating mostly veggies with some fruit, fish, eggs, nuts. I slept a lot of yesterday, which did seem to help the pain a little. Today is rainy, so I guess I'll be walking indoors.
8/08 - 145.6 - 1268 - 10-day ave 1306
The good news is I'm losing weight on my anti-inflammatory diet. The bad news is I hurt all over. Got blood work back for array of auto-immune issues - all negative, thankfully, but something's going on. I keep pushing myself to walk, but mostly I don't feel like doing much. Whine.
8/09 - 146 - 1072 - 10-day ave 1265
Just wasn't hungry yesterday, but I'll push for more calories today. Never thought I'd say that!
8/10 - 145.2 - 1080 - 10-day ave 1248
Another lots-of-veggies not-very-hungry day with low calories. I'm off to see a rheumatologist this morning (and - more promising to me - an integrative medicine doctor next week) to try to get a handle on my pain, and afterward we're going to try a new-to-us vegan/vegetarian restaurant my hubby spotted. They have a very interesting menu and I plan to EAT. :-) I am happy about my downward weight trend, though, since cutting out bread and pasta and meat other than fish. Have a lovely weekend, all!
8/11 - 145.7 - 1009 - 10-day ave 1175
I never thought I'd say this, but I clearly need to eat more. I just haven't felt hungry beyond what I'm eating the past few days - lots of veggies, black beans, chick peas, fish, brown rice, fruit mostly. The up tick must be sodium from the very excellent vegan/vegetarian restaurant we tried yesterday, though the food didn't taste salty. Really delicious! I saw the rheumatologist yestetrday and he wants to put me on a short course of prednisone, and I'm extremely reluctant yet sorely tempted because of the pain I'm in. Appt. with integrative med doctor on Thursday, and I'm trying to suck it up until I see her. Maybe I can just take long walks (they loosen me up) and sleep until then? Pain sucks. I hope you're all feeling better than I am! (I'll stop whining soon.)

8/06--170 well that's not good. I went to a barbecue and thought I did well in eating and also walked the majority of the time so I wouldn't be sitting ...guess that didn't work too good. I'm disappointed in myself but that's another lessoned learned. Back at it tomorrow.
8/07--171.8 this is really weird, I had a rest day yesterday when it came to exercising but I ate good and stayed under my calories...This is crazy!!! 3 pounds in two days....wwwwoooooow. I guess the rest of the week I am going to have to work extra hard to get back to normal. I also noticed my TOM is in a couple of days and I do tend to get bloated and retain water, so I am hoping it is at least half the reason I have seen such a drastic gain in a few days. Sunday was the only day that was questionable, so this is pretty ridiculious. Had 1 liter of water. Well we will see..
8/08-- 169.4 ok well that is a nice drop. My TOM arrived this morning, 2 days early, so I was right about it being half the issue. Lol. Now to work off the rest of the excess and get back to my start weight and continue my downward trend. Ate well yesterday stayed below my goals, exercised and drank 1 liter of water
8/09--168.4 another drop and close to being back to where I started. Between the water weight and last Sundays off day, it's crazy how many days it takes to retake it off...shhhheeeesssh. I ate under my calories yesterday, ate mostly salad but exercised very little. My apartment was flooded after an extremely heavy down pour Tuesday night so right now I am all turned upside down. Today I am will be getting back to my exercise routine. I also need to remind myself to drink more water. Lately I have only been having about 1 liter.
8/10 -- 166.8
what is this???? I am hoping this sticks around but I am not sure lol. Due to the flooding in my apartment it was harder to get my exercises in then I thought but at the same time the clean up is involving a lot of stair climbing and lifting, so that will probably just have to do. Right now I am staying in a place that has stairs everywhere. Just To get a pan or go to the fridge requires climbing stairs before reaching the stove...not to mention me feeling displaced has put me in a walking around mood... I can't seem to stay still.i was under my calories yesterday but with all the concern about the apartment I haven't been feeling all that hungry (which is weird because it tends to be the trigger for over eating) and 1 liter of water. I really hope this stays!!
8/11--166.8 I never see the same number twice (there is always a slight gain or drop) but I am not complaining. I will take it. I hope in the next four days I can drop another pound to hit my goal for this round. Ate within my calories, walking mostly yesterday and drank 1 liter of water. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Weight on 8/5 -178.8
8/6 - 179.0 almost forgot to post today!
8/7 - 179.0 so hard to get motivated today. Should have been at the gym this morning by 5 or at least out for a run by 6. Neither will happen as I’m just too tired. Need to just shut up and suck it up! I will take a gym bag to work and go for a run after work. It’s called my punishment, running in the heat for not doing what I’m supposed to do when I’m supposed to do it!!!
8/8 - 179.0 - Lordy I’m exhausted. Ran, lifted and Walmart all before 6 a.m., on my feet at work for 10 hours, home for chores, cook dinner and finally a moment to post. I thought at 54 and an empty nester life wasn’t supposed to be so crazy!!!
8/9 - 180.0
8/10 - 180.2 - Honestly I wasn’t even going to post. Actually just thought of throwing in the towel. I hate hate hate gaining and feeling disappointed. But I guess that is the point of this challenge....accountability with the good the bad and the ugly! I know it wasn’t even a gain of much but that’s the way this ole gals mind works. Alas, y’all won’t get rid of me. Determined to hang around and see this through!!!! Thanks y’all.
179.6 - Hanging in there.

8/06 157.6 So camping was 2 days on plan but 2 days off, I feel dehydrated and bloated but happy to be home. I should see a good drop this round since we have nothing on the books.
8/07 156 Still dehydrated, thirsty and headachey. Will have a better day today. Starting back on the 30 day challenge today after vacation.
8/08 158.6 Ouch. 140g of carbs. Must...do...better!
8/09 156.4 I have learned that if I want to meet my macros for protein, there is not much wiggle room for indulgences. So sad my beautiful fluffy puppy went running after a deer and got completely coated with tiny velcro like stickers and we had to shave him. He is so sad and naked and looks like a new dog. The positive is that now he is cold at night so he snuggles with me instead of laying out by my feet!
8/10 156.2 Prelogged yesterday and though I had a little variation I got my protein in (123g), will do the same today and stay the course. I still feel bloated for some reason. The initial *high* of losing some mass has worn off, and I find myself struggling to get back on my exercise routine after the camping last weekend. I keep putting it off one more day. But...my son convinced me to order a fitbit to encourage me to move more, and it arrived yesterday, so I'll get that going and see how it motivates. I'm a data geek so I am sure I'll be obsessing!

Was called upon to emotionally help a neighbor who needed to talk to someone badly. She may have breast cancer (biopsy scheduled on lump) and since I am in remission she needed support and advice. So there was a lot of sitting and listening. I took her over to the church grounds to sit on the bench and look at the beautiful flowers as we spoke privately. A sedentary evening but well worth it.

8/09 - 184.0 - Had a fairly decent eating day yesterday and managed even amongst the smoke and heat to get a walk in.

8/11 - 184.2 - No exercise yesterday except for a short walk in the afternoon. Just too hot and smoky. Not a great eating day, I seemed to be hungry all day long. Did manage to only be over goal by 150 or so though.

@back2cute I’m too lazy to prep the veggies when I bother to buy them and too cheap to buy the ready to eat fresh ones! For years I thought I didn’t like salad until the then local grocery installed a salad bar. Salad was good as long as someone else did the work!4

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
8/6 133.5 Happy to be back at this number. Working at maintaining since April and leaving on a 2 week cruise the last day of round 50.
8/7 134.0 Going to the movies and then Golden Corral for OMAD
8/8 134.0 Water fitness this morning and being a taxi service for DGD this afternoon.
8/9 134.5 lowest calories in a week yesterday -the “sins” of the few days earlier showing on the scale. I think I have a migraine, possibly from the smoke blowing in from California. 2nd in a week.
8/10 133.5 Well, that was a true migraine! Just as I did back in the days of hormonal migraines, I was craving a giant Hershey bar. Didn’t have any of those around, thank God, so ate 1/2 of a chocolate coconut Endulge. I took a 5 hour nap, got up and got ready for bed and slept through the night.
8/11 134.0 Felt better yesterday and met friends in Pahrump for BBQ lunch and pleasant visit. Went to nearby casino for live music in the evening.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
08/06 183.0 A nice way to begin the round. I wasn't expecting a drop. I was tired and sedentary all day. I couldn't figure out why, until this morning. I never did take my meds yesterday. It seems to be a long weekend thing - I will have to be more mindful come labour day.
08/07 184.2 A good day yesterday. Took my boys to the movies and then a nice long walk. Dinner was late but calories were on target. I.m not worried about the uptick - it will work its way out.
08/08 184 A good day yesterday lots of walking - i did fall and land heavily on my knee and this morning it is stiff and sounds like Velcro ripping when i bend it. It's also pouring rain outside - so less walking today -that's OK more time for needlework - although the piece i.m working on is just as grey as the rain!
08/09 183.1 100 days on MFP and 17 lbs lost. The plan right now is to stay in weight loss mode for another 100 days and then re-assess. I may switch to maintenance for the winter.
08/10 182.2 My workout buddy is on vacation, so I am going to start the day with a long walk instead.
08/11 181.4 I don't expect that to hold. Yesterdays long walk never happened. Spent the day yesterday at the ER with my son. (they could not explain his abdominal pain) So very little to eat or drink all day. Came home and slept 12 hours so definitely dehydrated at weigh in this morning.

I loved seeing that number this morning I am pretty sure it will go up and down a little bit, over the course of this round. As long as it stabilizes within the next few days, I will be happy. I am moving towards working out every other day, as I do push myself really hard when I do workout. I am also thinking of starting to focus on toning up and strength training as well. Need to do some research to figure out which workout would be best for me. Need to do better with getting enough sound sleep and drinking enough water.

Not being able to do cardio or any kind of workout involving legs
Knees are ok but I feel I run the chance of messing up my left knee, if I even try to do anything remotely heavy on my legs. Only upper body, for now. Not liking it one bit.

8/11: 254.4 Friday had a co-worker's birthday party at work and eating dinner out. Today should be better with Aquafit and eating healthy at home. I agree it is not just calories in calories out. I lose best when I make meals at home, eat low carb and a bit higher protein, get rest and drink more water, eat more vegetables, fruits and some healthy fats (avocado, nuts and healthy oils). The carbs I eat I try to make sure are whole or healthier. I try to minimize sugar.

Round 47 - SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5 lbs)
Round 48 - SW 152.5 EW 150 (-2.5 lbs)
5 '-1"
Round 49 goals: I'm going to stick with 10,000 steps per day and also focus on a small goal related to water consumption. Add 1 glass before I leave the house in the morning and 1 glass before I go to bed.
8/06 - 151. I was inactive and unfocused in my eating yesterday. There was lots of snacking. The first snack was delicious and satisfying. After that, it was just silly. On the bright side, I slept well last night and feel refreshed and on a good path today.
8/07 - 150. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and weights. Ate at the low end of my calorie range yesterday and couldn't seem to get enough to eat this morning. Something to think about in the future.
8/08 - 151. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and kettlebell squats and swings. I watched a bunch of videos to remind me of proper form for the swing. I'm not sure I got it just right, but swinging that weight around was pretty fun. My unstated goal of seeing the last of the 150s this round is looking more challenging than I would have thought, but nothing to do but keep at it!
8/09 - 151. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and weight lifting. Ate three real meals yesterday instead of snacking my way through at least one of them and met my protein goal for the first time in a while. I felt good about that and was expecting to see the scale move down a little this morning. Maybe tomorrow?
8/10 - 150 - 21,000 steps. Looking forward to a 20+ mile bike ride to a winery for a concert tonight. Hoping, hoping, hoping to see something lower than 150 on the scale this weekend.
8/11 - 150. Again. Got in that bike ride yesterday. I had carrots and hummus as a snack at the concert and was very surprised to find myself enjoying eating the carrots more than the pita chips. That’s definitely never happened before.

NSV’s: no muscle soreness now at new level of steps!!! The skinny jeans (size 14) I bought a while back are now loose. Will use the washer/dryer on hotter settings this week! All measurements down another 1/2 inch. Bust, underbust, waist, bellybutton, lower abs, hips, right thigh ...
LOL Help! Help! I’m s-h-r-I-n-k-I-n-g!!!!! LOL
Genuinely curious what my final weight will be.
8/7 163.4 Lowest Weight so far in my journey!!! Trend wt: 163.8 Loss/wk: 0.7 BMI: 24.5
A big surprise for sure. Always seems as though when I’m not expecting it, my wt drops & when I desperately want it to, it maintains or bounces up. (Much cooler today which might account for drop.) We’ll see!
Beginning to actually feel thinner...
8/8 163.6 Trend Weight: 163.7!! Loss/wk: 0.6
BMI: 24.5!! Waist more defined- a miracle!!
Starting to think about new style for hair, eyeglasses, makeup, and what wardrobe I should create when I reach goal...before, this stresses me out- now, I’m looking forward to it!
8/9 164 Trend wt: 163.7 Loss/wk: 0.6 BMI: 24.6
Weight lifting and HIIT on Exercise Bike (both new to me seem to have bumped up my water retention. But I feel strong & lean!!
Decided to do HIIT on Ex Bike more often even though my step average drops- I could get heart rate higher & felt the muscles working!! It’s time!
8/10 163.6 Trend wt: 163.6 Loss/wk: 0.6 BMI: 24.5 My mind keeps telling me to eat only if I get hungry, but I know those signals don’t work well in my brain/body, so I’m continuing with my timing & sizes of meals. (I did try waiting yesterday & never got hungry but I got a light headache which I never get and felt tired, so I decided to eat.) My monkey brain is trying to fool me into eating whatever/whenever tempting me with “just eat when you’re hungry.” Not. Time. You. Trickster!
8/11 162.6 Trend Weight: 163.2 Loss/wk: 0.7
BMI= 24.4
Lowest Weight & BMI & Trend Wt in decades.
I’m sure it will bounce around, but I’m pleased as I’ve been cutting back calories & upping difficulty of exercise...such a mental game...all the wt seems to be moving towards my middle above belly button. I. Will. Not. Give. Up. This. Time.
Must return my focus to Health, not be fooled by Vanity.

8/05-191.2
8/06 - Monday - 192.8 - Late night emotional eating got me last night. Got a little overwhelmed by all the boxes and moving and change and just mindlessly snacked on anything I could get my hands on after dinner. Logged it all and moving on today. TOM still imminent. Chocolate cravings are slightly less thanks to magnesium lotion. But I'm pretty moody and letting my food choices get the better of me. Lots of water today! I did manage to make dinner for tonight while food prepping last night. It will also be lunch for tomorrow. I know I'm stressing because I woke up with a costochondroiditis flare up - aka feels like an elephant sitting on my chest. And my sciatica flared up yesterday but that is feeling better today. But man, stress really does manifest itself physically for me if I'm not mindful! Taking today and tomorrow relatively easy while we await more moving boxes to be delivered and final word on closing date. I'm really happy I feel physically fit enough to do the move ourselves - 4 months ago I would have laughed at the thought.
8/07 - Tuesday - 192.4 - Well yesterday was fun. Had a full blown anxiety attack in the car out of the blue. Tried some self soothing techniques in the car, but with my painful chest it got to the point I couldn't catch my breath and I was beyond help for about 5 minutes. It was not fun - thank goodness DH was driving. It's funny to me that I'm in a better head space than I have been in a long time but my body insisted on a meltdown. Took some kava tincture when I got home and it helped big time. Emotionally ate a PB&J. Feeling a bit better today. Closing is scheduled! Many stressful days ahead so I REALLY need to be mindful, kind to myself, and as prepared as I can be moving. Had protein shake, brought lunch and chicken defrosting for dinner - still heading in the direction of my dreams!
8/08 - Wednesday - 190.8 - The heat was brutal yesterday. We grilled chicken thighs for dinner but I just had no appetite - so we saved those for lunch today and had some snacks later in the evening when I was a little hungry. Thought about eating a meal just to eat a meal but I just couldnt stomach it so I had some calorie dense salami and cheese - calories were not bad at days end. I feel better today - good morning with protein shake, packed lunches, and I can cook something for dinner - pigs in a blanket probably. The next few weeks I am on a strict financial diet too. I've been practicing small habits over the past few months; no coffee drive thru except Sunday, no take out for lunch, and only one take out/week at most. I'm going to extend that to no clothes shopping for the next month (at least - trying to hold out for a whole new wardrobe come spring). I also want to stick to a strict(er) grocery budget - we typically spend $100/week for 2 people including all home products too (toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc) but I think I can realistically get it more towards $75 on the regular with some smarter shopping. I'm realizing that the next few weeks my priorities are going to shift to 1. mental health, 2. finances, and 3. Healthy eating. This is OKAY, this is GOOD, this is preparing! I've been so focused on the healthy eating and I've been lucky and privileged to be able to do so without much hinderance or distraction, and every opportunity to buy what I need to help me along. I will absolutely be continuing with my habits, but I'm trying to be realistic in what to expect in the next few months moving into a new house - being as on point as I have been will probably be hard, so I will NOT beat myself up over it. Trusting the process more than ever now and excited to build more healthy habits in all aspects of life.
8/09 - Thursday - 190.4 - Got a good amount done yesterday. I made a packing station with boxes and supplies, purged the pantry (of under used accessories - food purge will be another day), and DH did the back hall! Another car load of stuff to the dumpster/donation bin. I prelogged dinner - I was full about half way thru it but I just kept eating because "I had room in my calories." I finished eating and was like ugggh why did I eat all that - so that was a lesson is paying better attention to my hunger/full ques. Took some french apple sausage out of the freezer - no idea what to do with it - but dinner at home! I was originally thinking stuffed zucchini or other fresh veg - but don't have any of that! I'll figure it out. Leftovers from yesterdays lunch I didnt finish. Had protein shake for breakfast and woke up 20 minutes earlier - progress!
8/10 - Friday - 189.0 - Ahhhhhhhh!!! HELLO 180's! I'm sure I'll be bouncing back and forth from 190's for a bit longer but how exciting to see a new set of 10's! Went to the lake last night - had enough thought to eat a snack before I left. Ate pasta and salad up there. PB&J at home. Not a lot of headway on the house last night but the rest day was lovely. Didnt cook my french apple sausage last night but I look forward to this recipe this evening - https://iowagirleats.com/2013/10/14/sweet-apple-chicken-sausage-pasta/ . I really wanted to believe we had nothing to bring for lunch today so we needed to get a steak and cheese, but realized that is false and packed my quinoa cup and tuna and reminded myself that I NEED to cook that meat tonight so no ordering out tonight either! Yay! Sticking to my food changes and financial changes!
8/11 - Saturday - 188.6 - that recipe last night was so good! And friends stopped over so I got to share it and not have 900 calorie per serving leftovers! Up early packing but had to be out of house for showings most of the afternoon. Ended up at a farmers market and ate a homemade cinnamon roll. Worth it. Stopped at the farm to get some meats and they had homemade bologna so fried bologna sandwiches for lunch. Also worth it. And an afternoon nap I'm also not feeling bad about hahaha. Aiming to get at least a dozen or so more boxes packed up tonight so that will be a good workout to add! Based on what we picked up the next week is more about convenience than nutrition but im all about simplicity this week so I'm going with it within reason.

Round 48: SW 257.4 EW 253.8 (-3.6)
Day/Weight/Comment
8/06 - 253.8...very surprised to still see this number, really thought I would have a gain. I had a horrible day yesterday, I don't think I drank any water and I ate my weight in sweets. I don't know why I did it, I was feeling so good about my drop and even had someone compliment me on my loss. I swear I'm trying to sabotage myself 🙁
8/07 - 253.8... had a good day yesterday! Stayed under calories, drank lots of water and did strength training and cardio at the gym
8/08 - 255.4...went over calories and ate a big meal late
8/09 - 255.4...yesterday I stayed under calories and did a walk. Wasn't able to get to the gym because my little gym had a bad night (I go after he's asleep). I didn't get enough water either, I had planned to drink more at the gym lol.
8/10 - 255.4...did everything wrong yesterday and was too tired to get to the gym. Have to get back on track today.
8/11 - ? Forgot to weigh in I know it's not going to be good though. A friend I haven't seen in a year is spending the weekend and we've been eating everything! And I know there is no point of even trying to get back on track until after the weekend, I'll just disappoint myself.

Round 49 SW 224.4
8/6 / 225.4 / Goodness, I'm retaining water like crazy. But I'm eating well and it will all shake out in the end!
8/7 / 223.6 / That's better. As part of another challenge, I did cardio and jumping jacks and drank SO MUCH WATER yesterday. Note to self: Do not drink a lot of water and then do jumping jacks.
8/8 / 225.2 / That one is a bit of a surprise. Hmm. I am back to tight rings and retaining water. But I'm still eating well, still getting my butt moving. Jumping jacks, crunches, and water, along with something that will amuse people of around my age: I decided to dance yesterday as a workout so I learned how to do the Hustle! I was a line dance of ONE.
8/9 / 224.2 / Bouncy bouncy! Still eating well, still exercising. Jumping jacks, crunches, 3 miles walking, and water.
8/10 / 227 / Goodness gracious! Well, I am a broken record but... still eating well, still exercising. Crunches, a boxing workout, a krav maga workout, and more line dancing. Lots of water. I am a little sore across my shoulders, but in a good way. I'm in a great mental space and bouncing around the scale is something to talk about not something to panic about.
8/1 / 226.4 / Inching down after bouncing up. I don't predict an improvement tomorrow. I got a promotion and raise and we had a celebratory lunch today. Worth every bite.15 -

Day/Weight/Comment
8/06- 227.2 Yikes. Didn’t get to check in the last two days and late weigh in yesterday giving me a round end of 225.6. I thought that was bad enough given I was logging 223s. Today the weekend continues to catch up with me. I know I didn’t gain 1.6lbs overnight but it’s a hard pill to swallow. It’s messing with my head so much I even considered sitting out this round. I’m here though. Hopefully the water retention will work itself or the next two days.
8/07- 227.4 Boo! What is going on here??
8/08- 225.8 Scale finally moved in the correct direction but I’m beginning to make poor food choices. Need to dig myself out of this rut.
8/09- 224.6 Remember: Down is better than up.
8/10- 223.0 Phewwwwwwww
8/11- 222.8 Every little bit counts.
