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.
5/12 No scale for 3 days
5/13 125.0 Happy with this after 4 days of not great eating and two days driving.
5/14 126.0 Ate at Taco Bueno before heading to airport yesterday evening. I ate all the carbs and didn’t drink anywhere near enough water so am super pleased with this. We’ll see how it goes for the remainder of this busy (but at home) week. Art Quilts and community bingo tomorrow, quilt guild meeting Thursday night, anniversary on Friday.
5/15 126.0 Busy day today
5/16 126.5 I ate a small bag of potato chips last night. My innards sound unhappy.
5/17 127.0 I’m not worried about this. I bought a bag of salted sunflower seeds in the shell to munch during the drive to Iowa last week. It said it was 2 servings but the bag lasted a week. I suck all of the salt out of the shells - doesn’t everyone? - so this could very well be water. Just not overly concerned. Our 49th anniversary
5/18 126.0 Lovely steak dinner last night and part of a baked potato. I think that is the first white potato I’ve had since starting keto 22 months ago. It was very tasty with butter, sour cream, salt and pepper.
5/19 125.0 Carlito’s tri-tip yesterday! YUM!
5/20 125.5
5/21 124.5 Met friends at the local quilt shop yesterday afternoon.
5/22 125.5 Great Greek salad with gyro meat last night. Ate 1/4 of a pita. Today my left knee hurts. Going to a new to us Chinese place with friends for lunch today.6 -

I thought you might be in Canada or another socialist country with long wait lists, but I see you're in California. I hope you soon get the help you need.
It helps me to remember Philippians 4:8 (KJV): "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Another favorite is 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (I've never had a great memory, so I particularly appreciate the "sound mind.")
God gave us minds to make choices--good or bad, healthy or unhealthy. The writer, Paul, chose to be content in whatever situation he found himself in, and he was in some very bad places and situations.
I pray for your health, in mind and body, and that God directs your thoughts to good choices every day.
God bless you, Marisa!
Thanks @FarmerCarla ! I appreciate it!3 -
Goals for round 77:

Show a solid LOSS at the end of this round.
Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 187.0 (I think) in the aftermath of the mother's day/birthday week extravaganza. Looking forward to a drop tomorrow!
05/14 186.4 not bad, didn't make it to the gym bc some work things came up but stayed in my calories even though I had a beer after dinner.
05/15 185.4 Missed the gym (again!) bc of an unplanned dr visit to try to deal with chronic headaches, in which they were not very helpful. Tomorrow is another day.
05/16 185.2 Scale is looking good. I have a much easier time staying within my calories when I eat 6 small meals instead of 3 big ones. I've also been making sure to have protein with every meal. Doing well with honest and accurate tracking as well!
05/17 184.8 First time I've seen this number in a while! I think I was a bit dehydrated this am bc I didn't quite get my water in. Drinking more today and fingers crossed to stay in the 184.x tomorrow
05/18 184.8
05/19 185.8 Did a bit too much howling at the moon the night before! Hungover!
05/20 185.0 Gym and then Drs appointments, stressful day.
05/21 184.4 I feel good about this number, especially post weekend. I hope it sticks around but i had a salty dinner so we will see.
05/22 185.0 womp/womp Oh well close but no cigar. at least I am starting out the next round at a lower number!8 -
This is going to be a good round, I can feel it! I'm so close to my next goal and to the 180's. This round, I am starting a brand new exercise plan. I'll be training for a 5K! Finally, I've been wanting to do this for awhile and because of the weight I had gained, it was difficult to run for extended periods of time. I want to run the entire 5K, so I found a conservative plan that takes 16 weeks. Let's do this!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 - 195.0 (A gain that was expected from the huge brunch to celebrate Mother's Day for my MIL and SIL. I tried to compensate with a healthy dinner of chili chicken kabobs, green beans and rice with some homemade pesto. It's the end of my workout break, so I'm going full swing today!)
05/14 - 193.2 (I'm at my last official Friday weigh in already and its barely Tuesday! I started with a 55 minute TurboFire workout last night and boy am I sore this morning! Especially my back and my thighs/calves...Most likely I'm below this weight because of the soreness and TOM is a couple days late so I'm waiting for that to start. I made some delicious chicken and cheese crepes last night. OMG first time making savory crepes and I'm in love!)
05/15 - 193.2 (Stayed the same! TOM still has not showed up and my soreness was worse than yesterday! I'm sure I will be a higher weight from all that water retention. Yesterday I started my 5K training. The plan I found had me just walk for the first week. I did a nice 25 minute walk around my hilly neighborhood and I worked out my calves even more! I made a delicious potato corn chowder with a dinner roll for dinner last night. It was delicious!)
05/16 - 193.4 (Now that TOM has been 5 days late, I'm not concerned!!
Hopefully it's because of a new workout plan or maybe stress...I'm holding onto weight and TMI have not had a bowel movement since Monday morning. Anyway, last night I did a 55 minute TurboFire workout and I'm still very sore since Monday's workout. I also made some pasta last night for dinner.)
05/17 - 192.8 (Finally back in the 192’s. I’m now on the 6th day of my missed period but finally got the chance to go to the bathroom! I’m hoping it’s because of my increase in intense workouts and how I lost all that weight last week that I gained from my diet break. I’m just going to wait it out. I had chicken stir fry yesterday and did not do a workout last night.)
05/18 - 192.2 (TOM finally arrived last night right before bed 🙄 so annoying being 6 days late! First time it’s that late in 16 years! I had a bean and cheese burrito last night and I did a 30 minute walk. Hopefully next Friday I can make my goal!)
05/19 - 193.8 (I had a good food day yesterday. I ate a sandwich with a serving of chips and didn’t do a workout. Hopefully soon I can start to get closer to my goal.)
05/20 - 195.2 (My hubby's grandmother is in from Philly and there's been tons of food and treats lately. At least I was tracking calories and staying to plan. She also noticed that I lost 27 pounds from the last time I saw her! I did a 30 minute walk yesterday and had some fruit, potatoes and baked French toast for dinner. I'm hoping for a good ending to this round and the TOM weight to start to fall!)
05/21 - 192.6 (Yesterday was such a bad day. I had to leave work early for shortness of breath. I was put on oxygen and given counseling for an anxiety attack linked to my PTSD. What's scary is that I do not know what triggered it. I am having a hard time breathing but doctors won't do anything for me. The closest therapy session for me is in mid-July. I'm hoping these thoughts will all go away
)
05/22 - 192.6 (Thank you everyone for all the support and hugs yesterday! I really needed it! My mind has been pretty "foggy" since the incident Monday. It's hard to explain...hoping to get out of this funk soon! I'm happy to have a husband who cares for me and calls me multiple times a day to see if I'm okay. I did my first run for my 5K training yesterday. I did 3 minutes total and walked the rest of the 30 minutes. It felt great to get outside and breathe in the winter-like LA air. I also had 2 slices of pizza yesterday visiting with my in-laws. It was a nice controlled comfort food for me.)

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 203.7 Was out of town the weekend before plus mother's day, so starting fresh after today.
05/14 202.6 Had a healthy lunch and dinner, kept it mostly low carb.
05/15 201.5 Healthy lunch, but I gave in and had 3/4 of a bread at Panera. Had an unsweetened iced tea
instead of diet soda today! Going to boyfriend's house today after work and he always messes up my healthy eating, so hope to keep making good choices.
05/16 ??? Spent the night at my bf's and his scale is always wrong. Says I'm 203.4, but don't think it's right, so waiting until I get home from work or tomorrow morning to see where I'm at. We had Lucille's for dinner last night, but I portioned everything and skipped on dessert. I did have some diet coke, but also ordered a water and had a little of both. Hope to stay on track today!
05/17 201.1 Had a healthy dinner last night keeping it low carb and only drank coffee and water, no diet sodas! Didn't get to the gym, but decided to take my dog for a walk instead as my workout and feel great! Now just need to get my water up.
05/18 200.6 Knocked out early last night, so been up since 5:30 this morning energized! Had a healthy lunch yesterday and made plank grilled salmon and a salad for dinner. Really happy with results this morning!
05/19 ???- Wen't to my boyfriend's sister's housewarming party last night. Ate very good up until the house party, but I only snacked on a few things and skipped the desserts. Did take a couple shots and had half a coke. Didn't get to weigh in this morning, so hopefully didn't mess up too bad.
05/20 201.9 I'm so upset that this weekend, mainly just Saturday really messed me up. I know I can do great and lose that lb I gained quick, but hate how hard I work and then only a few hours with people can mess it up. I did have a keto breakfast yesterday and today and had a good dinner last night. Staying strong these next few days and going to try and up my water more.
05/21 202.5 Was pretty upset when I saw this number on the scale, especially after how hard I've been working. Not sure if it's water weight from the extra water I'm drinking or from my lunch yesterday. I did have a bento box, but swapped the rice for a salad. Think it was the edamame and vegetable tempura that did it. Everything else I had for lunch and dinner was healthy/LC. I know I got this, but I'm concerned about tonight. My boyfriend is coming over and we're going to the movies. Lord give me strength not to have popcorn and mess everything up!
05/22 202.4 Not as much loss as I was hoping for, and sad I'm 2lbs more than I was last week, but happy I'm at least 1lb lighter than when I started this challenge. Did have some popcorn at the movies last night, but limited it. Also had dinner there, but made good choices. I know a lot of my struggle has been not walking or being active enough, so going to try and get more workouts in. I'm going to be honest, this challenge has helped me stay focused and it's really inspiring to get likes and hugs and see how everyone is doing, it's such a great support system. Can't wait for the next challenge!

Hopefully I can just maintain this round and stay where I ended the last round. We have 3 graduation parties, my son and niece’s actual graduation, and a ton of family in town. Lots of eating out and drinks I am sure. It is a time to celebrate, so I’m trying to learn how to celebrate in moderation, both with food and alcohol. That has never been a strong suit of mine, lol.
Round 73: 150.4 - 148.8 (Avg 149.51)
Round 74: 148.8 - 151.9 (Avg 150.65)
Round 75: 151.9 - 148.8 (Avg 148.41)
Round 76: 148.8 - 147.7 (Avg 147.97)
5/13 - 149.6 had Panda Express last night for dinner, so I’m assuming I’m up because of the soy sauce and carbs. Plus I’m sure it’s the rest of my Saturday night activities coming back to haunt me. On a Monday to still be under 150 I am happy. I have my 1st grad party tonight at an Italian restaurant, so I’m going to try and choose wisely. Plan today is to drink lots of water to get the sodium and beer out of my system and try and fill up on salad for dinner. Also no bread or alcohol tonight.
5/14 - 149.6 same which is good. Italian dinner with family last night, plus my husband surprised me with an afternoon movie. Finally got to see the new Avengers which was worth the wait. Ended up having a couple of beers during the movie, but no bread sticks at dinner. We also stopped and grabbed burgers before walking into the movies, so staying the same was expected. Should be back down tomorrow, work all day and the my youngest has her talent show tonight. So meals are planned and prepped.
5/15 - 148.0 Nice drop today, should be back to 146.xxx tomorrow. Just in time for loads of family to come into town. My son and niece graduate tomorrow, so will weigh and check in quickly in the am. Hopefully I can make decent choices tomorrow, I know lunch and dinner will be out and there will be lots of celebrating. I don't think I will make my goal of 145 by tomorrow, but I am really darn close and happy with where I am.
5/16 - 147.0 ate really late last night trying to get ready for the graduation today. Two restaurant meals today and a lot of sitting. Wish me luck!
5/17 - 148.0 and I am back up. I now officially have 2 children that have graduated from high school! I did really well yesterday food wise. I did have a spicy bloody Mary (I just love them so much), 2 beers and maybe 3 glasses of water ( I know terrible). I know I was dehydrated because I woke up twice last night thirsty. I was way under on calories though, my breakfast was just over 300 and then I did not eat again till dinner which was only about 600 calories. Back at work today and hopefully will be back down tomorrow before we have to start the weekend. I have 1 more graduation party on Saturday and I will be done with events for this round. Half way through and right now I haven't made any progress, but I have maintained, which in my book with all the celebrating and eating out I have done, I'm taking it as a win!
05/18 - 147.0 still here just hanging out. My trend weight is the lowest it has ever been, so winner, winner, chicken dinner. Last grad party in this round that I have to attend today and hopefully I will do well and weigh in around the same tomorrow.
05/19 - 147.0 was hoping I would be back to 146.xx but I’ll take it. Did eat a couple bites of a cinnamon roll and French toast casserole. Holding steady and looking to get lower before this round ends.
05/20 - 148.1 kind of surprised I am up. Did really well this whole weekend, way better than usual. I did eat more carbs on Saturday than I usually do, so maybe this is just a delayed reaction. Looking to finish this round strong before vacation this weekend. Have all meals planned for the next couple of days and should be back down by Wednesday. 2 more days!
05/21 - 147.5 ate a roll with dinner and drank a beer, but was still under calories. I should be lower, but didn't follow my plan for dinner exact. I was well within my calories though, but to high on carbs I guess. Water, water, and stay on plan for food today!
05/22 - 147.5 uuuggghh!! I have no idea why I am still high. Monday I was shocked, Tuesday I was annoyed, today I am just in ticked off. There is no reason I should still be this high. I was lower than this all weekend, most of last week and the week before. I have been so careful even through last weekend. Not giving up, but definitely a little frustrated at this point. Pretty much maintained through round 77, lost .2 pounds and my 10 day average is pretty much the same. On to round 78!7 -

05/13-94.9 kg and 9,300 steps. First day in and both starting high and cheating on my step count. Not good, but I also needed to rest after walking like crazy on Saturday. Will try to squeeze a walk in the evening and maybe during the day. The weather is too nice.
05/14-94.6 kg and 12,900 steps. Long evening walk as promised! Yoyo weight also 🙄
05/15-94.9 kg and 16,100 steps. Major walk yesterday and thinking a crazy idea of sign up to a race (Walking. Really aint going to run) next week. Looking at this weight fluctuations makes me pissed
05/16-94.5 kg and 10,400 steps. Took a lunch walk yesterday. Signed up to the race.
05/17-94.9 kg and 20,700 steps. Yes 20k!! Will not see my goal though i think
05/18-95.7 kg and 13,400 steps. WHAT WHAT WAAAAT???
05/19-dkw kg and 24,200 steps. Traveling...
05/20-95.6 kg and 11,800 steps. Dragged my self for a "jog" yesterday even though was really tired. Was proud. The weight shows really strange things. Must be the carbs or lack of sleep. Hope ot is a glitch.
05/21-95.6 kg and 15,200 steps. Made it through my first race! Wasn't as hard as I expected it to be! 5.5km in 46m! Dd not help with the weight though. Not sure what is up with that.
05/22-95.8 kg and 10,700 steps. Tiok a slow walk yesterday evening to relaxthe soarness of the muscles. Getting stressed about this weight gain....
It's a wrap. Disappointed. ⬆️0.9kg.

I'm not liking this trend, but it's not a surprise given my food and alcohol consumption over the last week. I decided to see it as a diet break or holiday, which is how it felt having my friends and kids over.
Now, I will prioritise myself, diet and exercise for the next 3 days! I know what to do and this was a good reminder why I need to log and not let my mouth have free reign over what goes into it.
I'm glad I weighed every day (even if I didn't post) as it shows the consequences of my behaviour. Weekly trend weight is up by 0.7kg.

Ah, TOM is imminent and I was very snacky yesterday and didn't move as much. But made some progress on my Ikea chest of drawers yesterday - I bought them on Sat and it's a lot of work to build alone.
Today was ok, still snacky, but only had a little chocolate in the eve. Went for my first morning run in like forever, it was nice, especially coming home and just to relax.
Round loss: 0.9kg, but still a kilo away from my recent lowest
See you next round!

Round 77 (My first round)
Female, 4'11, age 57
Goal weight: 110
Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 149.8 Bummer - weight increased from weekend of 148.8, (drop after being almost constant since May 1) although within normal variation it seems. Seems that since I have increased calories to about 1400, but also increased number of calories burned that my weight seems to be more unstable on a day to day basis. water weight retention due to increased exercise? measurement error in exercise calories (likely)? error in food calories (likely)? Would expect a daily decrease based on calorie deficit, but clearly more complex than that as loss seems to be nonlinear.
05/14 149.8 well at least it did not go up again... seems to be a pattern of late to see a biggish drop of 1-2 pounds in a day, slight increases over a couple of days, and then another big drop. Wish I could determine why exactly and eliminate those ups! not enough data yet to correlate :-)
05/15 149.6 a 0.2 decrease !!! I'll take anything!
05/16 148.5 YEAH!!! 1.1 lb decrease and I finally made short term goal of having BMI drop below obese category!!!!!!!!! now onto goal of getting out of overweight category into healthy weight. Will see if weight stays at or below this for tomorrow. Again food diary and exercise diary predicts that I should see a drop, but I am guessing there will be a lag. Shorter term goal is to reach half-way point which is just five pounds away. So close, yet so far!
05/17 148.0 After the plateau from the 1st of May to the 12th, really excited to see another decrease!!!! Afraid it will go up tomorrow, but trying hard to keep track of food calories accurately and get back to the loss of 2 lbs/week goal. 4.5 lbs to midpoint on this journey!!!!
05/18 149.9 Well the nonlinear uptick today (which is starting to get predictable after a one day big drop) just wiped out the week's loss and BMI is back into obese category :-( Did cardio (spin class) and weights (just arms/chest) yesterday so definitely had a decent calorie burn, but did eat dinner later than normal last night. Grilled shrimp tossed with red/green cabbage and carrots, with soba noodles, mandarin oranges, cashews, mint, basil & cilantro, and a dark sesame oil/orange/rice wine vinegar dressing with a crisp rose. Lots of bulk with the cabbage. Slept in today and then went to gym for the step aerobics class (45 min with another 15 minutes weights/stretching). 15 minutes walking to cool down and then home to go out with family for lunch and to a u-pick strawberry farm. Picked 5 pounds of berries!!!! Super ripe and juicy and still warm from the sun!!!! Making overnight oats with yogurt and strawberries and will look for a sugar free ice-cream recipe, so let me know if anyone has any good suggestions!
05/19 149.1 Down again - I'll take it, especially as yesterday I was above calories for BRM! Hope this is the downward trend again :-) Today was slow day for exercise. 15 minutes on elliptical and then some core exercises. Need to update food diary, but should be blow target for the day. Will see what tomorrow brings!
05/20 148.0 Yes!!! Back to 148.0 this morning! Yesterday I kept carbs under control (although did have wine with dinner). So far so good today regarding carbs and plan a relatively low carb dinner - crab cakes and large salad with minimal bread crumbs in crab cakes, so will see if that helps. Hit the gym this morning for the flexibility/strength class and then 45 minute spin class. Knees still feel wobble after the push to increase the level up to 20!
Did not get to the weight machines so will just work that in later in the week. Positive Note - won the drawing for a t-shirt after completing a challenge at the gym the week before. Bad news I think I still need a large :-( although on the bright side, at least it is not because of the belly fat, but because I haven't changed bra size. Seem to be losing more fat on hips (yeah!)/legs/arms than on chest so far.
5/21 147.7 Good day! Another drop (happy with 0.3 lbs) for the third day in a row! Flexibility/strength training and Latin Dance class this morning. Debating whether to go back to gym tonight for pilates to work on core. Saving up carbs for most of today as this is pasta day. I am now eating half the amount of pasta of what I would formally eat, so able to work it in with current macro breakdown. By keeping some of my favorite carbs - pasta (usually once a week) and pizza on occasion, the "diet" this time round is likely to be sustainable as I get to goal weight!
5/22 147.8 Up slightly from yesterday, but more or less par for the course! Did not overeat on pasta, so that may have helped keep the bump up in check! Good workout today: flexibility/strength class with hand weights, then 45 minute spin class, followed up with a circuit of weight machines for arms/chest/upper back. Looking forward to seared duck breast with a kale/strawberry salad (the last of the weekend strawberries that we picked!)
Overall 2 pounds lost over the 10 days so happy with progress for my first round of Give Me 10 days! Best part was making my STG of getting BMI below 30 (out of obese and into overweight category)! Looking forward to the next Challenge and a new short term goal of getting to my half-way to goal weight!
thanks everyone!!!!7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 - 137.2 (-2.4lbs) I don’t know if this is real or if it’s just going to shoot back up to 139. It has been back and forth the last several days. I should be in this range but will see what happens in the coming days.
05/14 - 138.7 (+1.5lbs) and there it is 😆 I’m sure it’s a bit of DOMS causing water retention. Im just going to accept the ups and downs as the new normal. At least it’s not 139s.
05/15 - 139 (+.3) can’t say I’m surprised. Felt bloated last night. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
05/16 - 139.4 (+.4) 😂
05/17 -139.9 (+.5) DOMS? Bloated? Both? No idea. Very annoyed right now though.
05/18 - 141.1 (+1.2) I did eat late and made poor food choices. Woke up full so I’m sure that’s part of it. I know it’s not all real weight though. Just going to get back to eating very clean and not eating out at all. Hopefully things get back on track soon.
05/19 - 139 (-2.1) huge fluctuations. Water retention like crazy. Going to take a few days break from training and hyper focus on eating healthy at home.
05/20 - 137.6 (-1.4) no strength training to give my body rest and ate healthy (per usual) didn’t eat out at all.
05/21 - 136.9 (-.7) same as yesterday but today I weighed in a few hours later than normal so it could be artificially low. Will see what tomorrow brings.
05/22 - 136.9 (-0) I did strength training yesterday so I’m happy it stayed the same as yesterday without a huge jump in water retention. I am seriously going to start adding measurements as of next round.

Really really enjoyed my baked potato last night. Dinner with the family was lovely so I will take the extra lb and give it back tomorrow. Meal planned Sat and shopped and prepped lunches last night. Gonna be another good run I think folks.
14-May... 187.2... -1.8
Skinnytaste meals all day. Good workout. Good results. Going to keep it up today with oats and fixins for bkfst, bbq chicken salad lunch and easy garlic lime pork chops with Instant Pot refried beans for dinner with a southwest salad.
15-May... 186.8... -0.4
Wow.. went over calories by more than 1,000 yesterday and cooked salty foods, but Skinnytaste recipes and down 0.4. I think my body wanted that food. We will be really good today and will do my week 7 C25K 25 minute run. Tomorrow is Knotts Berry Farm with the hubby and lots of walking, but will be enjoying some beer, an awesome beef dip sandwich and even a bite of funnel cake.. although I will enter all that to keep myself honest. I know I will be up so to be down just a little more would be really nice. We shall see, but feeling really good no matter what. And eating like a queen. My dad was super happy with his Skinnytaste birthday meal!
16-May...185.6... -1.2
Ask and ye shall receive. I think eating more often is helping me. I also ran the full 25 minutes + some of the C25K week 7 day 1. Super proud of myself. Not as sore running outside as I was the first time. Made Gina's Skinnytaste parmesan crisps with a little bruschetta tomato mixture on top for a delicious 60 calorie snack. She is my hero. I'm gonna ride this high all week! 185!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy!!!!!!!!!
17-May...190.8... +5.2
Such BS.... Calories were double what they should have been, but that is only a half lb.
18-May... 190.2... -0.6
Completely pissed.

Little by little. Not fair to tease me so with that 185 then crush me back to 190. One day did that. Can't be.
20-May... 189.4... -0.2
If I finish this 10 days with a gain after being up to start with I'm going to cry! No alcohol tonight and getting my butt on that treadmill. My knee is feeling the street.
21-May... 189... -0.4
Back where I started. We will see what tomorrow will bring.
22-May... 187.2... -1.8
Well thank the Lord above. 1.8 below start and -0.2 from last 10 days. Finally dropping off whatever my body has been holding onto from Knotts these last 5 days. I will take the loss and keep on truckin.7 -
@jenn990205 You lost weight, so quit your complaining!!! 😂 The first sentence of your post said your goal was to maintain this round, and you did! Congratulations! Your next round will be a bigger loss.1

ROUND 77 (Round 19 for me)
5’4 ½” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
Goal: Maintain between 135 and 140 lb. and increase muscle mass
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-77 = 44 lb.
I started and finished the last round below my maintenance range. I like the keto WOE and, mostly, stick to that, but I add extra carbs when I’m under 135.
Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 132.6 I’m off to a low start, which means I can indulge a little. Strict adherence to keto paid off while I was losing weight, so I’ve earned the privilege of eating extra carbs. I’ll have rice with my Keto Gumbo this evening. It’s good without the rice, but I don’t want to lose more weight. My husband loves the Keto Gumbo, and, since he’s thin, I always add rice to his serving. Thor and I are going for a long walk today—I’ve kept him waiting for 3 weeks because of our cruise and all the rain since we returned. The sun is shining!
05/14 133.2 Thor and I enjoyed our walk yesterday, but I’m afraid I waited too long and have to get him used to it again. I checked the pavement several times yesterday to make sure it wasn’t too hot, and it seemed okay, and he didn’t act like anything was wrong. He walked some on the grass, but he seems to prefer the pavement. His feet were obviously sore last night. I’ll give him a couple of days before we walk again and keep the next couple of walks a little shorter. Yesterday, we walked a little over 4 miles and jogged part of the way. Thor ran out the door to chase squirrels this morning, but then slowed down. I hope he’s okay.
05/15 133.0 I started strength training with the Chalean Extreme program. I’ve procrastinated and let other activities take priority, but I’ve done it before and know how well it works, so I want to stick with it. I may have to get tough on myself.
05/16 134.2 I’m still below my maintenance range. I had muscle soreness this morning from lifting yesterday, which may account for the gain. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Today was a rest day, and I lift again tomorrow. I brought home two kittens today to be company for my dog, Thor, and keep mice off my back porch (after they grow up). Thor’s a sweet dog, and he had a cat when he was a puppy. I’m convinced he’ll accept the kittens, but it may take a while for them to get used to each other.
05/17 133.8 I haven’t done my strength training today, but it will happen. Tomorrow is a grandchild’s birthday, so I have to make a trip to town before I lift, and, hopefully, I will make it to our community game night this evening. The kittens are doing well. I have the kittens set up with a litter box, food and water bowls, and their bed in a large dog crate next to my German Shepherd’s crate, with a cardboard barrier between them. They were all quiet throughout the night, so we’re off to a good start. I’m too old to trip over anything or any animal at night.
05/18 133.8 I got my strength training in yesterday evening and did a “burn intervals” workout this evening. I enjoyed the grandson’s t-ball game and spending time with the kids this afternoon. We stopped at one of my favorite Mexican food restaurants on the way home. I ate about half my food, didn’t even cut into the shrimp stuffed avocado, so I have lunch for tomorrow. My husband has leftovers, too, so I only have to cook breakfast. That works for me!
05/19 133.6 Happy Sunday! It’s been a good day for me. After church, and visiting my MIL in the nursing home, I took a nap, then finished my first week of Beach Body’s Chalean Extreme, which I’m excited to continue. My results may not be as impressive as they were the first time, when I was (only) 60, but, at 67, I know I will still be stronger and more agile. This time around, I lost the weight before I started strength training. I have plenty of loose skin, so I may not end up as tight, but I won’t let that deter me.
05/20 133.8 I thought I finished my first week of Chalean Extreme yesterday, but forgot I started on Wednesday and not on Monday. I finished the 3 heavy lifting days, and a cardio day, but had to do the “Burn It Off” and “Recharge” workouts today. I like the heavy weight days and cardio workouts better than the “Recharge” (stretching), but I did it and tomorrow’s a rest day. If it’s not raining, Thor and I will get in a walk.
Today’s my 24th anniversary of marriage to a wonderful man. He loves pasta, so I’ll fix pasta for my husband (zucchini spirals for me). I thought about making a desert, but he has cookies and his beloved coffee ice cream, so I won’t tempt myself with something I like, too. I had a first today, helping a friend deliver “Meals on Wheels” to folks. It was enjoyable, and I look forward to doing it again.
05/21 133.8 Thank you ladies who sent anniversary wishes! Sometimes, I feel like my husband and I are still honeymooning. We are blessed.
It’s another threatening weather day, so Thor doesn’t get his walk. I have singing group practice this evening, in a town with a Sam’s Club, so I’ll go early and walk the aisles before practice. I need to buy more nuts. Since all our songs are choreographed, practice can be a decent workout. It’s amazing how much energy God grants to women in their 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s who are celebrating Jesus and praising His name!
05/22 134.2 I finished higher this round, but I’m still below my maintenance range, so all is well. 😊 I like where I am. My size 6 jeans and slacks and size 10 blouses and dresses fit nicely, so I’m pleased. I took Thor for a walk early this morning, finished my Bible study, took a nap, wasted some time, and now I really need to do my strength training. See you in the next round!
