02/02 176.9 A drop to start the round. All good. Three mile walk in the sunshine and a delicious portion controlled dinner made for a very nice night. Today and tomorrow will be limb collection and breakdown time. Probably won’t walk both days. The yard work will be enough. Happy Saturday all.
02/03 177.6 I was within calories yesterday but only because of a little yard work last night. I’m ok with it. I knew this would be a small loss after the last round. Woohoo roller coaster up
02/04 179.1 And we keep going up, but I had a VERY high sodium day yesterday with some Asian food. I did walk and do the day2 week2 of C25K, this time without stopping once so I'm happy with that. I also spent a couple of hours in the yard chopping up limbs. My shoulders and arms are sore from doing it. I thought I was working a lot of those muscles going to the gym but apparently not the ones that involve dragging huge limbs across the yard. Just have to stick to the plan.
02/05 178.5 Down is always the right direction. I am so happy to be in the 70's. I mean I'm not thrilled to be at a higher number than I was 3 days ago but I'm in a good place. I got in three chilly miles yesterday. I was going to go 4 but I was under dressed for the weather. I didn't realize the wind was gusting at 500 mph. I was so cold I almost did only one mile, then almost stopped at two miles, and I threw in the towel at three. I could not get warm all night after I got home. Turned on the gas fireplace and ran others out of the living room trying to get warm. Ended up taking a bath to finally feel warm. Woke up to freezing rain
02/06 179.1 Up again, but TOM is here and probably part of this little temporary hump in my roller coaster. I don't know how it can still sneak up on me, but alas it did... again... I only did 45 minutes at the gym last night, I was worried about the weather and left. It was sleeting. It stopped a little after I got home but this morning my neighborhood was a skating rink. No walking outside tonight - I'm headed to the indoor gym. I should do C25K day3 week2 today but right now I'm not feeling it. It may be one of those slow 3 miles but I got them in so don't look at me like that nights.
02/07 179.1 I think I will be down to my goal by the end of the round. I did not go to the gym last night. I went home early because it was sleeting again. It was a weird night, we had a house shaking thunderstorm but with freezing rain. I am so lucky to have job where I can work from home on days like today. I really want to get to the gym tonight. It will depend on the roads, otherwise maybe a cardio video? I don't know. Five days to lose the stupid water weight...

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.
I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 and, typical yoyo, currently bouncing back up over original goal weight of 130. Want to get back to 127-128.
Crept back to JGM10D quietly and somewhat inconsistently in Round 60 but now I am back (for reals!)
2/2 - 132.8 - yesterday just under maintenance calories, 7500 steps.
2/3 - 132.8 - yesterday under my calories for modest loss goal (1/2 lb a week), 7700 steps.
2/4 - 133.8 - overate yesterday, got too hungry then had trouble STOPPING when I ate, then the day was kindof out the window. About 250 cals over maintenance. 7000 steps. Woke up at 3 this morning and didn't sleep much after that, I am trying to tell myself I can be really productive at work today anyway ... Right?
2/5 - 133.2 - yesterday under calories, 6000 steps. Slept well.
2/6 - 132.8 - yesterday over calories, 5000 steps, but another grand night of sleep. In desperation I might have revisited melatonin, which I used to say I hated. Tonight is the acid test - I never but never get three good nights of sleep in a row. We will see.
2/7 - 133.6 - yesterday over calories, only 4000 steps, and so busy at the job I barely moved. Today I will take walking breaks. Slept very acceptably last night, so maybe I am really onto something with the melatonin.... we shall see.

* Keep it Simple - Just do it!
2/2 - 205.0 - Not where I wanted to start, but that is okay. Time to destroy Round 67! Good luck to everyone this weekend.
2/3 - 203.6 - Complete luck. I will take it. Going for it today. Good luck everyone!
2/4 - 204.4 - Not surprised. If I do not track everything I eat, I fall of the wagon and have spikes. Time to control the spike. Measuring all calories and steps today! Good luck everyone!!!
2/5 - 203.2 (Did not completely track calories or steps) - Going back the right way. Will track everything today, and close all 3 loops. I would like to hit that 200 by the weekend. More importantly, stay at the 200. Have a great day!
2/6 - 203.8 (Did not track calories, 11,587 steps) - Happy with my steps, and closing all 3 rings. Need to track the calories because that is when I see the most success. I start losing track at lunch or dinner. Need to buckle down. I seem to be stuck in this 202-205 range, and can't get those last few pounds. Have an excellent day, everyone!
2/7 - 202.3 (Did not track calories or steps) - Glad to be back at the end of Round 66, not happy with how I got there. Need more focus! Letting work stress lead to eating. Not good.

02/02 = N/A
02/03 = N/A
02/04 = (no weigh-in) So I've had a funky last few months. I started a new job 2.5 months ago (good thing, but stressful). I got some bad news about the osteoarthritis in my reconstructed right knee. My wife and I are trying to have a baby. We're also trying to buy a house. I've been in the throes of my sugar addiction, I haven't been exercising at all, and I've gained back just about everything I lost last year. I've been trying to get myself back to a "healthy" state of mind for a while now, but I've been feeling guilty and stupid for leaving this community in the first place. Rather than "pick up where I left off," I'm going to start over (no posting my history). We'll see how it goes, as I can always look it up later if I really want to. The bottom line is, coming here and posting every morning really worked for me before. Having your support really worked for me.
I'm trying really hard to be kind and forgiving to myself. I'm really angry that I let things go as far as I think they have. I'm really going to try to stay around for a while, 10 days at a time, just like I did before. I'll weigh-in tomorrow morning to see where I'm at. Thanks in advance for letting me hang around.
02/05 = 221.8 (-0.2), BF% =18.7 (no change). First weigh-in and post in a long time. I was under calories yesterday and on point in macros. No sweets. So far, so good.
02/06 = 218.2 (-3.6), BF% = 18.3 (-0.4). Didn't take long for that first WHOOSH. I was under calories yesterday, even if I didn't hit my macros exactly the way I wanted to. It feels good to be back. I had a "chubby" coworker mention today that we have the exact same belly. I was both "thrown off" by the comment, and frustrated at the same time. It figures that someone would notice me being chubby the moment I get back into health and fitness. Rather than being angry with the universe, I'll acknowledge that I'm listening to what the universe has to say. I have to say, being back in this challenge feels pretty natural. I'm going to have to spend some time figuring out exactly why I left in the first place...
02/07 = 216.2 (-2.0), BF%.= 18.1. Another decent day eating. I'm generally sticking to keto, and I'm getting under my calorie goal every day. Keto is a definite quick start/boost for my weight loss, and I'm okay with that. I've really wanted this for a long time. So glad to be back!

@Astrue You have lost 10# in the last month! That is pretty darn remarkable!! Give your body time to adjust, losses will continue. Just hang in there!
@puddlegoober Remember that co-worker’s belly comment every time you think about straying. Soon you’ll be able to say (to yourself, at least) “hey, look, we DON’T have the same belly anymore!” I’m glad you’re back!!
@deadchipmunk I hate the idea of going to the gym until I force myself to do it for a couple of weeks. Then I miss it when I don’t go. If you have a friend to workout with it really helps, too.
@zimborunner LOL I get that freezing feel. My husband said yesterday that he thought it was the coldest it’s been in Las Vegas this winter. I just checked and right now the wind chill is 32 here! This humidity (and the winds which have stopped for the moment) are making us miserable!
@deepwoodslady Donna, you even had me dancing the other day, only for a few minutes but I did get out of my chair!5 -

Round 67 goals:
📉 Get to 191.8lbs or under, which is “overweight” BMI for me, instead of my current “obese class I”
💧100+ ounces of water daily
🥣 Stay around my 1200 calorie limit days I am home, and at least under maintenance while I am away
🤸🏼♂️ 1hr dedicated exercise every day I am home
🧘🏼♀️ Meditate 10 mins everyday
🥂 Limited alcohol (for my birthday and conference)
🔥 3k daily calorie burn according to Fitbit
👣 15k+ steps a day
R67: SW 194.8 GW 191.8
2/2: 194.2 - hit all my goals, was way under calories, busy day.
2/3: 195 -🥂🎂 today starts my last year in my 30s. Would love to be 140lbs and fit by this day next year. Went out to dinner last night to celebrate and had a martini and a beer, but made good food choices otherwise. About to head to the gym. Having grilled steak and veggies for dinner with family at home tonight, and chocolate cake, mmm.
2/4: 194.6 - Hit all my goals yesterday. Got to sleep in, played in the snow with the kids for 2+ hours, enjoyed my birthday dinner and cake - it was a good day.
2/5: 194.2 - Snow is really messing with my mojo. Kids didn’t have school yesterday, gym closed, and both won’t be open again today. Our power went out yesterday, and our furnace busted - no heat from 9am-5pm. Ate under calories and didn’t have drinks, but those are the only goals I met.
2/6: 193.6 - Ate around calories, had ~5 “active” hours that registered as exercise on Fitbit (we went sledding, built a snowman, took a loooong walk), and no drinks, but didn’t get nearly enough water and I am feeling it! Getting back to my water routine will be my main focus today. Also getting a mani/pedi today and packing in preparation for my trip. Having a lot of feelings about my appearance for this conference
2/7: 192.8 - drank all my water yesterday, stayed at calories (barely), but still no gym due to snow and Fitbit ran out of batteries (they seriously need to work on getting a longer battery life), so not exactly sure if I met other goals. Also, I just realized after flying I’ll likely be retaining water when I return, so probably won’t hit my goal weight this round I am more than 25% to my goal weight though - which is amazing to me! 75% to go!
2/8: no scale - at conference
2/9: no scale - at conference
2/10: no scale - at conference

27th Round for me: Female 65, height 5’
Goal this round: To get out of the 160’s or at least consistently not above 160. Right now even ½ lb. per round would seem great. This is the same goal as last round. Was feeling discouraged until I looked at a year ago and realized that I’m only down 4 lb. but I have established a “new normal.” I’m at the upper range of that the beginning of this round. Before starting at the gym and then joining this group, I was gaining about 5 lb. a year. So all my changes have me close to the 150’s instead of into the 170’s.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. (Not sure if this is possible for me but even well down in the 150’s would be better than where I am at now.)Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, -.2Round 67 – 162.8

Popped up a lb. at the beginning of last round and ended up in the same place. Not sure why the beginning of a round there is often a jump. Anyway, I use the last day of the last round as my start weight.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 – 162.4 – Gym yesterday, nice to get in a good workout. It’s a year since I started at the gym and even with 2-3 times a week has made a huge difference in how I feel and, I think, look. Planning to take measurements later today.
02/03 – 163 – Have been unusually good about the cals., so was expecting to go down.
02/04 – 162.8 – A little LNS last night but managed to stop at a couple of cookies. Off to the gym today.
02/05 – 162.6 – Good workout yesterday. Will try out the treadmill, that we have been “storing” for our daughter for years, at home today. Hubby uses it regularly. I tried one at the gym when I first went but couldn’t seem to get the rhythm. I prefer walking outside but it’s icy and we have very steep streets.
02/06 – 162.8 – Well, didn’t do the treadmill yesterday – worked on my knitting project and took a nap. Amazing how your mind completely forgets the things you don’t really want to do. Off to the gym today.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/03. 227.6 . Barely moved. Trying harder today to track more accurately!
02/04 228.4. Yikes! What happened? Tomorrow is another day!
The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. Maxwell
02/05. 227.4. I was more careful with weighing and it paid off. I saved a couple hundred calories yesterday for a dessert, but at the end of the day, decided I would rather see a scale drop and didn’t eat it! It paid off
.
02/06. 225.7. It’s so important to log EVERYTHING ACCURATELY. That extra pat of butter or taste of something just adds up. I am learning that for me, it’s easier to log my meals before I have them so I can make better decisions about making a plate and feel good about eating it instead of being surprised at the total after I log it!
02/07. 224.7. Yipee!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 ….. 186.9 ….. Same as yesterday on the scale. I ate back my 222 calories from exercise. Over on the carbs, but not too bad. I kept my bun on my hamburger because I was so hungry. I should have planned differently. I burned 2437 calories overall. 11,640 total steps & 5.12 miles overall. 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 6 hours 26 minutes which is great for me. No dancing (frown) but I did take a brisk walk indoors at the school for 34 minutes. I stopped on my way past when I saw the school was open for some type of meeting (cars in parking lot). Update: My sister’s kidneys are showing some improvement today. They hope she’ll be off the ventilator tomorrow. No hope for her heart with multiple blockages which they say is inoperable so if she can make it in the short term we just don’t know how long it might be. She will have to move & live with her daughter if she can make it out of the hospital. She has pneumonia now & an unexplained infection which they are now trying to track. Thanks for the prayers & hugs. I am back to dancing today. I have already put in a set of almost an hour. Back to work now, but I will be dancing again this evening & hope some of you will join me. Good luck everyone on this round!
02/03 ….. 186.9….. Drats! The same, but it’s my own fault. I am certainly eating my emotions. Still dancing, eating back some of my calories with the dance but still staying under . However, it doesn’t work that way with carbs, so I’m getting nowhere. I’ve got to pull my emotions together here! STOP LEANING ON FOOD FOR EVERYTHING! I am just thankful there was not a gain. 1353 Total Calories. 75 Net Carbs of mostly junk. Burned 2557 total calories. 14,807 steps & 6.27 miles all of which are helping me to at least maintain. 13/13 fitbit stephours. 4 hours 16 minutes of sleep. IF 16:8. I danced for 71 minutes burning 434 calories. Calorie burn does depend on the songs I choose. Sample song was “Got it Wrong” by the Wildfeathers. Sis continues to show very minor improvements in some areas. Thanks for the well wishes. Heavy workload today as there are lots of checkouts and cleanings in my cabins. I’ll get in lots of steps today more than likely.
02/04 …..186.9…..Not budging because of my eating. Also, no planned exercise yesterday or dancing. But I did have a physically heavy work day. My stats: 1668 Total Calories. 81 Net Carbs. 44 minutes of stripping beds burned a whopping 48 calories according to my fitbit activity marker. 10,460 total steps & 4.43 miles. 13/13 fitbit stephours. 5 hours & 14 minutes of sleep. IF 16:8. Sis is improving. Catheter out later today. Sitting up in chair. Thanks again for all the prayers & well wishes. One side of my house is trying to flood due to snow on roof backing up & coming down walls (ruining drywall) and onto new carpeting! That’s why I had a metal roof put on two years ago but it’s not working this year! Someone is coming to try to remove the dams of ice on the ends and minimize the problem. When will this Merry-go-Round ride end? The warmer temps are causing a bit of a meltdown. I am also still dealing with the insurance job on the roof where the tree fell on it at my business. Still not repaired. The temps had been too cold for them to work last week (which I understand). I need lots of hugs today folks! Thanks in advance! Hopefully I can find the time to get some dancing in.
02/05 ….. 186.7 …..Great strong day yesterday in my eating plan. 1305 Total Calories & 11 Net Carbs. 2374 Calories Out. 12,388 Total Steps & 5.24 Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 fitbit stephours. 5 hours & 3 minutes of sleep. I danced 29 minutes. Sample song (which was perfect beat for dancing) was “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder. Today was much more sedentary due to my schedule so my fitbit will not be showing the numbers I normally like for tomorrow’s post but it shouldn’t be too bad. Out to lunch with a friend today but made better than usual choices so I’m proud, even though the carbs will be a bit over what I like to see. I don’t think I will see any major damage on the scale. I will try to fit in one dancing set tonight just to get in some movement and a few more steps. Have a great night everyone!
02/06 ….. 186.7….. It’s stubborn but so am I. I feel like I’m in a stare contest. I am not going to blink today. Not today! One day at a time, right? My Stats for yesterday after going out with a friend for Mexican Food lunch: 1358 Total Calories In. 38 Net Carbs In. 2189 Calories Out. 10,123 steps & 4.45 total miles. IF: 16:8. No sleeping record because I charged my fitbit during sleep. I danced 36 minutes and one of my songs was “Gimme One Reason” by Tracy Chapman. It is a little slower & sexy/sultry and makes the perfect 1st start-up song or final cool down song. It really makes you feel like you’ve got your slim on. Today will be another good day, but tomorrow is Pool/Potluck. Perhaps I can get some extra sets in today to prepare. Also, food choices….food choices….food choices. I’m just glad I stayed away from the chips & salsa on the table yesterday, or today I would have been much more bloated. Sis moved to private room at the hospital & out of ICU. They are saying she has “small blood vessel disease” in her heart due to diabetes, the years she used to smoke & weight. That means that bypass surgeries are not possible for her heart. She is resting & doing well. We don’t know how long she can survive with multiple heart blockages of 95% - 100%. She is 63. She will be 64 this month. She quit smoking a few years ago but due to stents & blockages she's had in her legs in the past, she is not very active anymore (before this heart attack). Let’s get fit folks & keep up our good habits!
02/07 ….. 186.5 ….. Dripping off like water on the icicles , but it’s in the right direction! My stats for yesterday: Very low calories in because of workload that caused me to starting eating so late in my IF eating window: 775 Calories In. 2260 Calories Out. 27 Net Carbs which were mostly from my Zoodles in Marinara. 12,351 Total Steps & 5.23 total Miles. IF with a late start so it was more like 20:4. I slept a fantastic 6 hours & 40 minutes. I danced 77 minutes total which was broken into a couple of sets. Sometimes I do them in sets because when they are shorter I can do heavier & faster beats. Sometimes longer sets to fit them in when something is coming up & I need to just get a good set in. My sample song was “Lido Shuffle” by Boz Scaggs. I found myself doing more of a funky twist with lots of arms, more than anything. Anytime I twist it makes my waist feel so slender! And we all know how well it did for Chubby Checker! Pool night tonight. I will try to be mindful. I did pretty good last week but I never know what will be on the buffet so I am praying for strength & continued resolve. I DO NOT want to change my ticker unless it’s in the right direction and right now, I’m still playing catch up! Stay warm everyone!

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.
2/1 128.0
———
2/2 128.5 Yesterday I felt irritated-don’t know why. I wanted “something” but have no idea what. I was under on carbs and 2g below protein. I have my carbs set to 15g total and without having any idea about that or my eating, someone in a Keto FB group started counseling me on how to get my weight to “start dropping” again! It was strange. I think I’ve got this Keto thing down after 18.5 months and being minus 46#. Some people! It’s raining in Las Vegas again. Not much but it’s damp outside.
2/3 129.0. Weird day yesterday. We were hungry but nothing sounded good. Finally tried a new to us Chinese place. It was good and we have tons of leftovers! Picked up neighbors at the airport last night. Flight was due at 6PM but weather delays caused it to arrive at 10PM. They had traveled from The Gambia and been awake for 48 hours! Meeting friends at 1:30 for lunch as one of our group is flying in from Kentucky for work here this week.
2/4 129.5 Shared “shareable” meatballs (4 small meatballs aren’t very shareable) and a large Greek salad with DD at lunch yesterday. It was overpriced and under good!
2/5 128.5 Wind, wind, go away! Come again in another decade!
2/6 129.0 Went to lunch with BFF and another friend who is visiting from Denver. I had my first margarita in over a year! It was tasty, ordered beef tack salad with no beans and no rice - got a boatload of lettuce and that is fine. Ate the guacamole and sour cream and a small piece of the enormous bowl. Went to bed at 9PM and slept until 6 this morning! Forgot my BP pill yesterday but my BP this morning was 130/75 when I sat down. My Ketones are back up today. Life is good.
2/7 128.0 We went to Miller’s Ale House for lunch. It never occurred to me that “soy marinated salmon” would be loaded with sugar! My ketones are back down to zero. I was hungry most of the afternoon and evening, the result of sugar causing an insulin spike. Gave in to some pork rinds and guacamole in the evening which I tracked but no nutritional info available for that lunch! A clear sign, had I checked first, that I should not have ordered it! Going to meet some friends for crafting now.9 -

@CowgirlConnieMay I love this philosophy, this plan! Especially the part that says "treat with portion control in mind". Sometimes my treats turn into a full-on binge and that is what I've been working so hard on. Like @quiltingjaine tried to tell her friend, there is nothing we cannot have. We only need to choose not to, or to fit in into our plan or our macros as best we can. I know if I try to do that deliberately and with full intent, then even if I fail, it is part of my lifestyle to always be mindful and to make choices. Thanks for sharing these words of wisdom. I have a social even tonight & will "try to eat healthy as much as possible and treat with portion control in mind". It really is that simple, isn't it?
@erminater Congratulations on entering Onderland! You are doing fantastic!
@noynoyavery Wonderful news on the way your clothes are fitting now (and losing that dress size!). Dancing works! Dance those jeans right off girl! The next size down is yours for the taking too. Great job!
@mamarh Yay you for hitting your all-time low in weight! We are proud of you! Keep up the great work & the good choices!
@quiltingjaine Lots of more songs on my list, which grows everyday! More CCR too! I love the dancing & music because I can pick any tempo depending on how I feel. Any genre, Any beat, Any dance style. So it works for me no matter the mood or circumstance. Because my fitbit counts 10 minutes as exercise, I usually do at least 3 songs so I can get the calorie count from my fitbit. It helps get those steps in too, but in a much more fun way, so I do one song at a time per hour if I need to to get them in. Lots of fun! Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 160.8 Didn’t get much sleep yesterday since we had major wind storms and the dog was not having it! I am hoping to rest up a bit this afternoon. I have a basic strength class later today, and then going out to dinner with friends before we go to a ballet performance.
Steps 6974, 70 minutes of exercise, 66 oz of water
02/03 160.5 Had a wonderful night last night, but whenever I take an afternoon nap I find it so difficult to fall asleep. I managed to have 5 hours of tossing and turning sleep, so just going to try to stay awake all day so can sleep throughout the night.
Steps 8694, 45 minutes of exercise, 46 oz of water
02/04 159.8 I drank and ate more than I should have yesterday so will be limiting alcohol to 1-2 drinks this coming week and will be strict on meal planning to not lose my progress so far. Having said that, it was nice not worrying about tracking everything once in a while!
Steps 1990, 0 minutes of exercise, 73 oz of water.
02/05 161.0 Expected this number with how I ate on Sunday and how busy yesterday was at work. I wasn't able to get to the gym or leave the office much. Hopefully today will be less busy and will be back down by the end of the week.
Steps 10,082, 45 minutes of exercise, 80 oz of water
02/06 159.7 Hoping I can continue going down through the end of the challenge. I was able to just get to steps goal yesterday and met water and exercise goals
Steps 14,411 25 minutes of exercise, 64 oz of water.
02/07 158.8 I think this might be a fluke, but I am still excited to see 158! Have a girls night tonight, but will limit to two glasses of wine. I need to make up 7,982 steps by Monday, and 220 minutes of exercise. I think I will be able to do that still so pretty encouraged still with five days left of challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02: 206.2. Went out for breakfast and didn’t over eat (yay), but ended up eating too much sugar today. But only went over my calorie goal by 50. So not horrible but must make better choices.
02/03: 206.2 Had a slice of high calorie pizza, but I did keep it to one slice. Just made sure to stay close to calorie goal.
02/04: 205.9 Planning all meals today ahead of time to keep me on track. Working from home today so this should be easier.
02/05: 205.3. Planning meals ahead again. Ended up with a UTI which has kind of derailed me today. Ugh! Go to doctor tomorrow.
02/06: 205.8 UTI has me feeling sick. Struggled to eat enough calories which is definitely not like me! Get medicine from doctor and hope to feel better soon.
02/07: 205.3 Really struggling with not feeling well. Keeping up my healthy eating.

Good day yesterday, but it will take a few days to level out after a week of indulging. Have a good weekend!
02/03- 140 - 1761
On track yesterday, but oh, those time lags. Weather was gorgeous and I went for a long walk outdoors - yay! Going to be nice the next couple of days, too. I always think "day by day" through February. Enjoy your day!
02/04 - 139 - 1668
I'm enjoying this warmer weather we're having - more today, although rain expected this afternoon. So I'm off for a walk outdoors and then my weight training. Have a lovely!
02/05 - 140 - 2006
Sigh. But it's ok, I know why (duh - too many calories) and I'm working my way back down to a suitable level. I also slacked off on tracking the past few days so my 10day average is an estimate and I have a feeling it may be low. I've promised myself to get back to fastidious tracking. Off to the gym in a bit.
02/06 - 139 - 1433 - 10-day ave 1695
Yesterday was a good calorie day with good macros.
02/07 141 - 1748ish
Ok, some of that is water as I had some salty snacks last night. I just got back from a trainer session at the Y and added 4 more machines to my workout routine. Yeah, muscles!

Last day of this round I will be on a plane leaving for our 6 day vacation. No Kids, no animals, just my DH and I. So that means I have 10 days to do my best work and stay on track so that I can have fun and not stress about the scale while I am away. Round 67 here we go!
End of Rnd 66:147.6 which is a new low for me (Avg 10 day was 149.56)
Goal 146.xx and get my Avg 10 day lower
02/02 - 148.5 up a little today. Had a couple of beers last night to celebrate my son getting into the college he wanted. So I expected a little bit of an up tick. Have to get up early and do some cleaning and then get some shopping done. We will see how it goes.
02/03 - 151.1 up some more. Again expected. This weekend we have had lots of eating out and lots of celebrations. Going to try and do better today and not let myself continue to go downhill.
02/04 - 153.7 UUUGGGHH!!! I didn't eat terrible yesterday, but it wasn't great either and we drank a lot (BEER) at a Super Bowl party. I am extremely dehydrated this morning and I know I didn't drink any water after noon yesterday. 6 pound gain in 2 days. It will be gone by Wed, so not going to freak out. This weekend I am going to try and change things up a bit. I think it is the beer that I drink that makes me gain so much. I am not drinking at all Monday- Friday. I only drink on the weekend and I always gain a ton of water weight. At least 4-6 pounds. It's my sons 18th birthday on Saturday and we are having a big family party so that should keep me busy and then Sunday I will be getting ready to leave on vacation. I will be in Vegas for a week so I want to see if it really is the beer that makes me retain so much fluid.
02/05 - 153.7 Did not do any better yesterday, just could not get on track. I ate fast food for breakfast and lunch. I can not tell you the last time I have done that. I think I have already decided I am not going to worry about it since we will be on vacation all next week. I watched everything I ate so close last year and am down 35 lbs. for that effort. Honestly I wasn't even going to post today, but decided I was not giving up and I had 6 days left until we left. I want to be back in 140's before we leave, which is doable. I am just having a really hard time this year staying the course I guess. I am not making any of my goals and can not seem to focus. I need to get my will power back in check and do what I know I need to do. So today I am doing what I need to do!
02/06 - 151.1 back down and we continue to yo-yo this month.Day 3 no alcohol, definitely a better day calorie wise, and plenty of water. Been backed up indigestion wise for a couple of days now, so hopefully will get some relief from that today. I don't think my stomach is agreeing with the amount of crap I ate over the weekend. Today my day is planned and should go well. Hoping to be back in the 140's tomorrow and stay there till the end of this round. My 10 day average is definitely going to be up this round.
02/07 - 149.3 almost back to where I was at the beginning of the round. Did well yesterday and getting rid of the carbs, or alcohol, or whatever weight it is that I put on last weekend. Lol, have my day planned and am on track.Hopefully I can finish strong in 4 days.

Ending Weight Round 66: 153

Last night I was looking through photos on phone. Wow, am I thinner than 15 months ago. I checked my weight back then, and I can’t believe I’m 40lbs down.
But the really amazing part was looking at photos from May 2018. I look so much leaner. Again, I checked, and I’m about 20lbs down. This is notable because my Inner Critic has been saying “See, you’ve barely lost anything since April.” NOT!! I look - and feel - light years better. Kicks that voice to the door!
Then I decided to take my
Measurements - basically ALL of them. LOL
Measured waist holding it in & natural, for example. Amazingly, my hips have gotten smaller. I guess muscle does take up
Less space! If someone had told me this was even possible, I would have said “no way.”
Very happy. If you are mid-weight loss journey, I beg you to keep going. You will not believe how much better you will feel - and look. My goal all along was to lose enough that I felt good about myself and would be willing to fight to maintain it.
It will likely take another 5-10 lbs, but I’m not giving up. I’d like a 30 inch waist. After seeing my hips shrink smaller than I could have ever imagined, I’m beginning to my believe waist will actually trim down too.😇

Wasn’t going to exercise or eat a good dinner last night (tired, slightly under the weather), but my habits kicked in. I just couldn’t not do my daily exercise & get that calorie burn. Wearing my regular clothes lol , I took my sketching supplies & said just do 20 mins (thank you UAC!). Drew a couple of portraits- better than usual - I might need to add a desk top to ex bike...😛 And then looked at my stats...calorie burn not high enough. Finished with HIIT for a total of an HOUR. Then ate nutritious dinner - berries, small lean pork, a Doctor Kracker Seedlander cracker, cut raw veggies w/ some balsamic vines and a touch of olive oil & a big cup of tea. Hardest day I’ve faced in over a year, and I did it. Happy that scale came back down.

02/02 - 328.8 - It was gain, but fluctuations happen.
02/03 - 327.4 - I'm happy with this. It's less than where I was a week ago.
02/04 - 327.2 - Woohoo. Inching down. Every little bit counts. I didn't do my strength training yesterday, but I did do an episode of Zombies, Run!
02/05 - 326.0 - Woot wasn’t expecting this big of a drop as I didn’t get as much exercise in as per usual. Looks like my body needed the day off.
02/06 - 325.8 - It's another tick in the right direction. I took a chance and put on a pair of a smaller pair of jeans than I have worn in awhile and they fit! I'm ecstatic! I didn't do either of my exercises yesterday. I did reach my step goal of 5,000. Today I have my pulmonary rehabilitation where I will get a workout in as well. It'll be a busy day.
02/07 - NO WEIGHT - I woke up with five minutes until I had to leave. So I woke up, dressed, didn't even stop to feed the cat on my way out. I went to pulmonary rehabilitation and worked my rear end off. I did treadmill, arm crank, NuStep, leg press and arm weights. I'm still walking during commercials now that I'm home. I have a longer walk to and from the bus due to the city doing something to the street right in front of the stop I usually use. I'm already well past my step goal.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02--214.9 Completed W3D3 yesterday of C25k. I didn't want to go out for the run because it was raining, but on my way home I saw someone out running and thought if she can do it so can I, so I got home, got the dog and went out for the run. In the end it wasn't raining that hard and the dog really enjoyed it too.
02/03--215.3 Went to the gym this morning and did some weightlifting.
02/04--215.3 Was feeling heavy when I woke up this morning, first time since I started my elimination diet. I'm guessing that it's the gf waffles that I ate 2 days in a row that caused some food sensitivity issues. They were good, but I'm glad they are finished. I was supposed to start W4 of c25k, but it snowed today, which is very rare for the PNW, and the roads are icy and aren't plowed so I couldn't go running today. Then my gym closed early, so I wasn't able to run. If roads are still an issue tomorrow plan is to go to gym early and get my workout done.
02/05--214.0 Heavy feeling is gone this morning, feel much better. Roads and streets are still icy today, but it is sunny, so it's melting a little. Plan is to get out this afternoon to go out for a run with the dog once it warms up a little more.
02/06--212.5 Had to weigh myself twice to make sure. Went out for run yesterday and finished w4d1. The running path had some patches of icy snow on it that caused me at times to walk more than I ran, but it was a beautiful sunny chilly day for a run.
02/07--212.7 I think some of this whoosh is because I've only gone to the gym once this week to weightlift instead of my regular 3x, so I'm probably not retaining as much water. The weather is getting better today, but we are up for more snow starting tomorrow afternoon and for the next couple of days. I will just stick with my plan and go running tonight and not beat myself up about the fact that I've only weightlifted once this week. I'll just wait and see how the roads hold up over the next few days and get to the gym when I can.
