Day/Weight/Comment

10/20: 160.2-Easy bike ride yesterday, these nice autumn days make it a joy to be outdoors.
10/21: 160.4-Lazy day, rainy, only a quick walk and errands.
10/22: 160-Ready to quit after 30 minutes on the elliptical but made it to goal of 70 minutes.
10/23: 160-Short walk in misty weather. Need to work on pushups.
10/24:160-Perfect day for a paddle-45 minutes on the pond.
10/25: 160.4-Well, at least it proves my scale isn’t broken. Knee pushups and a lovely walk.
10/26: 160.2-40 minutes on the elliptical.
10/27: 160.8-A little sore from lifting. Weight stall is disappointing but feeling fit so I’ll suck it up.

Goal: Improve Sleep - duration of 7hrs and score above 80.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 180.6lbs 5h48m/73/10:26pm - not an accurate sleep score because I had a couple good naps during the day. 😴 Dinner out , so need to bank cals and carbs.
10/21 180.1lbs 6h13m/80/10:26pm - not the best night... dogs had me up at 3am. Training this am and then hopefully a normal, uneventful day at work.
10/22 180.1lbs 5h41m/70/10:58pm - Monday was not a great day; glad it's over.
10/23 179.2lbs 7h34m/90/10:27pm - never doubt the power of decent sleep!

#ALLCAPS🏒 #FINISHTHEFIGHT⚾️

10/24 181.1lbs 4h51m/69 (nice)/12:52am - Likely DOMS and associated water retention. Short night didn't help. Go, Nats!
10/25 180.8lbs 7h7m/84/9:14pm - good morning workout, productive day, and decent sleep. I will take it!
10/26 179.8 lbs 7h41m/NA/11:06pm - couldn't make it. Woke up to a stunning Caps comeback and a tough Nats loss. Busy day ahead... lots of yardwork. 💪
10/27 179.1lbs 6h39m/81/11:10pm - probably won't make goal, but not unhappy with the slow but generally steady progress. If I can stay under 180, that's a solid win in my book! Rain today again so it'll be hard to motivate myself to Combat. LOL

10/20 -186.2-

10/21 -186- Vacation is over but my husband will be off for several more days starting Wednesday. I made it through pretty good. We ate at some places that had poor food choices but I just chose the best I could and didn't stress too much about it. I lost 1.9lbs and 2lbs was my goal so I am happy with that!

10/22 -185.8- Small steady loss, I'll take it!

10/20 - 167.2
Rats.

10/21 - ooops
Forgot to check in, apparently.

10/22 - 167.2
I ate well and not too much until last night. Ice cream. Sigh. Today is a new day.

10/23 - 166.4
That’s better.

10/24 - 166.2
I’m surprised, as I had a bit of a binge yesterday. Probably show up tomorrow!

10/25 - 167.6
Yep, there’s Wednesday’s binge. It’s ok. I’m going back to a modified elimination diet to try to address some stomach upset issues and other than things I think may be food related. I just don’t feel quite up to par. I was on a strict elimination diet for a while last year for PMR and those issues went away, along with about 25 pounds that have found there way back with another 5-10 friends. I’m cutting out milk, cheese, flour, added sugar, and meat other than limited chicken and oily fish. I started yesterday but did have a small dish of lime sherbet last night. I told DH to interrogate me about my intentions if I get anything but water or fruit from the kitchen after dinner! Enjoy the weekend, all!

10/26 - 167.6
I suppose it’s because I decided to give up flour and cheese, but I had a huge craving for pasta yesterday, so we went to Fazoli for lunch and I fed the feeling. I think that got it out of my system, and today I’m ready for salad and salmon. One step at a time. I didn’t snack last night — yay! Today’s project — paint the bathroom.

10/27 - 167.8
Aww, come on. Has to still be Wed. Binge residue, because I’ve kept my hand out of the bread box. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

I am not on a diet, but a lifelong pilgrimage to maintain physical & emotional health. Reaching and maintaining a lower healthy weight is just one of several goals.

Round 92 wasn’t the worst of the the last few rounds. I’m going to keep joining though and keep trying. I have decided to leave money at home, and set a timer at work so I remember to actually drink the water I pour everyday.

Day/Weight/Comment
Oct 20 - 189.8- had an active day yesterday and managed to eat within reason. Today I am going to start logging consistently again.
Oct 21 - 185.6 - this is due to the fact that I got my water in yesterday I’m sure, but I’ll take it!
Oct 22 - 190.4 - this makes more sense to me than yesterday’s.
Oct 23 - 189.6 - I am trying very hard to be consistent, get my water in and eat within reason. The work lunches and snacks make it difficult.
Oct 24 - 189.6 - not the best day yesterday, but I moved for 15 minutes and got all my water in.
Oct 25 - 189.2 - not too bad.
Oct 26 - 188.6 - I am trying hard to keep it on a downward trend this round. Tomorrow may be up a bit though as I’m going to Olive Garden with a friend for lunch today.
Oct 27 - 188.6 not bad, I was expecting it to be worse with my lunch yesterday.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 185.4 (+0.6) slight hike. Had wine with dinner and some slightly non keto wings. Hopefully this drops tomorrow.
10/21 186.6 (+1.2) ugh up again. Its probably just normal up and down but it's the day I weigh in at the doctor which wasn't a great experience last time so I'm wishing I wasn't so high. Oh well.
10/22 186 (-0.6) I think this hike is hormone related. I got in half a workout before I felt too light headed to continue. Will try again today.
10/23 185.6 (-0.4) I really thought I would have dropped this faster. I did my workout yesterday - maybe it's water retention from that? I expected to be back down below 184 by now.
10/24 185 (-0.6)
10/25 185.6 (+0.6) son of a.....
10/26 186 (+0.4) this is the first time in 6 rounds that I've not dropped consistently. I'm eating on point. Only thing I've added is a few drinks (with diet coke). I swear my body just refuses to lose if I have any alcohol.
10/27 184.6 (-1.4) ok I just don't understand my body. Fir the first time in two months I ate carbs and high sodium (restaurant fries) and had wine. That should have spiked me. But instead I dropped. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Highest weight ever: 130
Original SW: 130 (7/1)
Ultimate GW: 118

Goal for R93: 119

The last 2 pounds are proving very difficult and life isn't helping. I want to continuing eating my 5-7 servings fruits and veggies in every color. Working out and pushing myself especially with weights and using the stationary bike (which I hate) because we are planning to bike ride Ireland or Scotland next year. Will need to up my biking fitness this winter.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/20- 120.6 Same as last round- tons of gyrations but right back where I started. But starting on a Sunday, after a Saturday night of eating with reckless abandon -my son came home from college to celebrate his birthday. Its actually a big improvement usually Sunday is a rather high number.
10/21- 121.2 I do not understand the scale...Had a wonderful low key 22 mile bike ride ate just a little over- did not expect this jump.
10/22-118.2 WOW- Did not see this coming! I really do not understand the scale. Have been eating 5-7 servings fruits and vegetables. And I just noticed I do not have a headache this morning. Wow this is starting as a great day.
10/23- 119.6 What a rollercoaster- but actually being 118 made me so happy yesterday, I read the Maintenance strand and even got out a measuring tape and measured myself. Back to reality, and slow incremental loss- but now my reality includes I know I can reach my goal.
10/24-119.2 Body Pump yesterday, finally after 2 years have upped my bicep weight . Feeling stronger but feeling my age and need to wear wrist braces to bed to help recover. Made Mashed Celeriac last night instead of potatoes or noodles, interesting but probably not again in near future. Got all 4 out of 5 servings fruits and vegetables for breakfast. Only 40 g of banana- white is so easy to eat always get more then enough at dinner.
10/25-119.6- As long as this rollercoaster stays in 119 for a while I am happy. Spin and yoga yesterday, Body Pump this morning, weekend temptations, bad eating options will definitely be a challenge. Curious though, calories on point but cooked salmon in Sous vide with a little wine, so I had a glass to and up the weight...Seems to be my kryptonite.
10/26- Fun night out with friends- Split a pastrami sandwich-Oodles of salt- with my husband and several NOT low calorie appetizers and dessert. Instead of my usual get up to go to the bathroom 2-3 times each night I had to get up and fill my nightstand water bottle! Drank at least 8 cups of water last nigh-weeks. Husband still sleeping this morning and did not want to wake him (that's my excuse I am sticking with) so did not weigh myself this morning. I am sure this will take several days to normalize.
10/27- 120.4 Not unexpected, went out again last night. Definitely inspired to make dinner tonight so I can control the calories. I believe bicycle season is over here, But crisp cool walks are still possible emphasis on crisp/cool. Body Combat yesterday...Walking dod today and some yoga, need to have a rest day. Had my multicolor fruit and veggie breakfast...yum.

10/23 139.2 ok got my brain back into the game. Now I have to go back for the last couple days, and try to track what I can remember eating. I know we cant be committed 100% of the time, so maybe it's ok I took a little 2 day break from this whole routine.

10/20--207.6 I have been having digesitive problems over the last couple of days, but I'm starting to feel a little better. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't feeling well and then I realized I had been snacking on some crackers that contained an ingredient that I am sensitive to. Ugh!
10/21--207.4 Strength coach yesterday. It's expected to rain most of today, but hubby and I are still planning on going out for a trail walk with the dog. Hopefully, there will be a break in the weather when I get home.
10/22--207.6 Went out for my c25k run today. There was a pizza lunch today at work, but I decided ahead of time to bring and eat my own lunch, so that I wouldn't be tempted to eat any of the pizza.
10/23--207.2 Went to strength coach today--tough workout. Digestion is getting better.
10/24--207.4 Great workout yesterday. It's supposed to be a sunny and crisp day, so my plan is to go out to run W2D3 of C25K tonight.
10/25--207.4 I went out for the run yesterday after work, it was great. Worked out with my strength coach this morning.
10/26--207.4 I've been wanting to get back into hiking, so today I went out for a 4.5 mile hike. Other than the fact it was foggy at the top of the mountain such that there was no view, the hike was perfect. It was a challenging hike, but not so hard that the hike was not fun. I am already sore. My plan is to go out for a little walk later today to help with any soreness.
10/27--207.0 No strength coach today, so I'm going to go for a swim, something I haven't done in awhile. I will take dog out for nice trail walk today. I didn't get a lot of water in yesterday, so I plan on getting water in today.

{Day/Weight/Comment}

▪10/20 - 181.6 - IF/18.5hrs. 39g carbs, 35g net carbs. Meal times~ 12pm, 3:30, 7pm.
▪10/21 - 181.6 - 24hr liquid fast. 25g carbs, 19g net carbs. Meal time~ 7pm. Barely slept Saturday night, laying awake stressed over something. My Grandson's 3rd birthday celebration yesterday. I wasn't in the mood and tired, but I wanted to see him. He is a sweetheart❤ and a character? Pizza and chocolate cake on the b'day menu. I did not partake. I had no appetite anyway. Took a gallon of electrolyte water and a container of bone broth to drink while I was there. I enjoyed my time there.
▪10/22 - 183 - I don't know what my actual carb count ended up being. I had a late evening mindless pretzel binge after a very stressful week. I was not feeling stressed at the time. Maybe just a delayed need to chew it out. I don't know. Much better today. 1F/18hrs. (before pretzels~28g carbs, 18g net carbs) Meal times~1pm, 5pm, 7pm.
▪10/23 - 181.2 - IF/19hrs. 18g carbs, 13g net carbs. Meal times~ 2pm, 7pm
▪10/24 - 184?! - I have not done any exercise since last Friday, except for my daily rehab exercises. Partly intentional, partly not. I felt excellent yesterday from all the stretching and rest. Every joint was fluid. Haven't felt like that in 8 years! Today is the complete opposite. Back to my walk and workouts. IF/20hrs. 28 carbs, 22g net carbs. Meal times~ 4pm, 6pm.
▪10/25 - 181.8 - IF/21hrs. 21g carbs, 16g net carbs. Meal times~ 3pm, 5pm, 7:30.
▪10/26 - 181.6 - IF/19.5hrs. 26g carbs, 18g net carbs. Meal times~ 3pm, 6:30.

▪10/27 - 183.8 - Normal/just fluid. IF/20hrs. 30g carbs, 24g net carbs. Meal times~ 2:30, 7:30.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/19 …..188.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/20 …..189.0 ….. Within calorie, a little high on carbs yesterday. 1505 Calories In / 2606 Calories Out. 47 Net Carbs. 15,158 Total Steps & 6.41 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I only slept 3 hours & 41 minutes. Yesterday I walked 68 minutes in the neighborhood at approx 3.0 mph. I also took a short 10 minute slow walk at about 2.0 mph. Total extra calorie burn 402. Good luck everyone!

10/21 …..189.2 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 984 Calories In / 3254 Calories out. 57 Net Carbs. 25,269 Total Steps & 10.69 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 1 minute. I hiked a long rustic trail for 103 minutes at 3.5 miles per hour. I walked in my neighborhood for 41 minutes at 3.0 mph. Extra calorie burn was 825.

10/22 …..192.8….. A disastrous day. Emergency travel due to family situation. No notice, no planning! Some meals good choices, others not. An emotional day overall. I don’t know my exact stats. I am sure it’s over 150 carbs and over 2000 calories. No planned exercise or extra calorie burn. I am
back home now. Things have quieted down. Time to face the fiddler. Expecting rain so I will walk inside the school, if necessary. Doubling down on water & parsley tea. Maybe an egg fast today for at least 24 hours. Glad to be home & have choices.

10/23 …..188.2 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 698 Calories In / 2844 Calories Out. 4 Net Carbs. 20,182 Total Steps & 8.54 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 55 minutes. For extra exercise I raked and hauled leaves and pine needles for 64 minutes and I took a 3.5 miles walk inside the school during the rainy drizzle yesterday evening for 76 minutes walking 3.0 mph. Total extra calorie burn 800.

10/24 …..188.4 ….. A normal fluctuation on the scale. Very sore from the last 2 days of yard work. I can barely bend over and there is still so much to do before the predicted snow by Tues/Wed. Ugg. It could at least wait until the leaves are off the trees! Yesterday’s stats: 1168 Calories In / 3113 Calories Out. 39 Net Carbs including a new recipe of stuffed peppers using cauliflower rice. 25,318 Total Steps & 10.71 total miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 7 minutes and woke up feeling lazy, sore and tired. I did yard work for 62 minutes, took a walk inside the school for 96 minutes at 3.0 mph, took a neighborhood walk for 34 minutes at 2.5 mph and I did misc. cardio exercises for 39 minutes. Total extra calorie burn 1226. No wonder I am in pain!

10/25 …..187.2 ….. All the hard work & careful planning finally showing up on the scale! Sometimes it takes a few days. Yesterday’s stats: 1402 Calories In / 3201 Calories Out. 34 Net Carbs including Spaghetti Squash. 27,306 Total Steps & 11.55 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours (missed the morning ones doing paperwork). I slept 5 hours & 31 minutes. I walked for 128 minutes at 3.0 mph inside the school where I was making a “presence” to support the “pink out” game for breast cancer awareness in my community. I did yard work in the afternoon with more raking & hauling for 137 minutes. Last night after closing out my mfp I did 21 minutes of low-impact aerobics. Total extra calorie burn 1578. I’m hoping to continue with the yard work today. My property is large.

10/26 …..186.6 ….. I was extra hungry last night. I didn’t know what to do to get through it. All my knowledge was buried behind the consuming hunger. All my tools seemed missing from my toolbox. I felt like anything I ate trying to stave it off would only ADD to the calories and carbs I was ultimately going to binge on. Frozen in place! Finally I decided to trust myself. I ate a handful of almonds (under 100 cals and just one carb) and I sucked down the water. That healthy fat worked, just like it usually does. Sometimes the deep hunger confuses and confounds. Yesterday’s stats: 1377 Calories In / 2869 Calories Out. 22 Net Carbs. 19,220 Total Steps & 8.13 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 37 minutes. I did yard work for 115 minutes including more raking & hauling. I walked for 42 minutes at 3.0 mph in my neighborhood. I did 31 minutes of low-impact aerobics . My total extra calorie burn was 1271. A majority of that was in the yard work.

10/27 …..187.8 ….. Not such a good day after all. Ate perfectly within bounds and walked 4.45 miles inside the school halls (due to cold temps) where they were having a Halloween Dance. Goodies for sale to help the graduating class of my grandson in a couple of years. Bought some items in a “charitable” mood to “take home to my son”. I ended up eating half of them! Next time, I’ll just donate the money & bring home nothing! Yesterday’s stats: Carbs & cals over the top. 2769 calories burned. 19,136 total steps & 8.1 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 41 minutes. Little to no water yesterday either. Today will be a better day. I would love for my weigh-in to be as good as it can by the time I get to my Mammogram & Breast Cancer Oncologist appointment at University of Michigan this Wednesday. Time for my annual re-check and to check how remission is going!

@anatomyjanedoll I just realized your dates are off by a month.

@biche896 Sending you a PM if I can. Never sure what this app will allow!

@tinabambina29. I agree — get the teeth out! My whole face hurt from one rotten wisdom tooth. The minute it was pulled the pain was gone. It’s the ONLY time I have fallen in love with a dentist! It was just luck that I went to him, he was about 2 blocks from our apartment and I walked.

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.

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.

10/19 120.5
*******
10/20 121.0 Food at the all day sew was not the greatest, choice wise and I am still in ketosis - barely. It was a fun day however and worth it. Today more socializing at the neighbor’s.
10/21 121.5 I think this uptick is a result of the foods from Saturday. It’s okay, I’m still well below my goal weight.
10/22 121.0 Couldn’t go to sleep last night, awake until 2 and slept until 8:30.
10/23 120.0 Sorry for the late post. DH & I went to work in our daughter’s classroom at 8 this morning. He and she worked with the kids and I did “busy work” which she would have to do at home. Her principal continues to give her a hard time about everything. Of 36 teachers under this principal last year, 21 transferred away this year! It’s ridiculous.
10/24 121.0 We ate at Asian buffet at lunch yesterday.
10/25 120.5 Today is a sew day with friends as we are retired or off work for Nevada Day.
10/26 120.0 Yesterday was a great day. Sewing with friends all day and free music at 2 of the casinos in town.
10/27 120.0 Going to champagne brunch at nearby casino today. I love champagne!

Picture of 3 of our grandchildren- grandson’s date was Homecoming Queen and the granddaughter and her BF on the right were Homecoming Junior attendants, sorry her BF is behind the curtain.

I have no idea WHY the picture is at the top! I’ve tried to edit three times. At first it was in the middle! Stupid phone, MFP or ??? Certainly NOT ME! LOL

UGW: 126-128 REVISED 9/29 from 123
<<MAINTENANCE achieved!>>
SW this round: 126.6 lbs
GW this round: 127.8-128.2 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 126.6 Weekend maintenance achieved, Day 1/2...
10/21 126.6 Weekend maintenance achieved, Day 2/2= a whole weekend (Fri-Sun)! And I baked both days, unbelievable! This is new for me. I love to bake, but it's always been the gateway to losing control, because I prefer my own baked goods to anything store-bought, and I tend to eat a *lot* of dough along the way. You know, you have to taste it to make sure it's going to turn out all right! So I'm proud. And not afraid that baking will undo all my progress. I was honestly afraid to bake for months. Ever since I started off at 158 in March. Anyone else have weight loss/maintenance fears?
10/22 126.6 Yawn. Exact same weight for a week.
10/23 125.6
10/24 125.6
10/25 124.8 Well, finally a new weight, just 1.8 above the original goal weight I set back in March (I readjusted upward recently). It'll be up by 2-3 lbs tomorrow, I assume, because there are Halloween-themed events happening and I'd like to play with more calories with the goal of finishing this round around 126.
10/26 124.8 I still expect to bounce up slightly.
10/27 126.4 There it is. And this is where I want to be, so I'm right on track!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/20: 222.8 (+1.0)/18.8 (+0.1). I went to my niece's birthday party last night, and FOR ME I was okay. I had some drinks, I ate a little more than I wanted to (late night grazing), but I was generally okay. If I can get through this weekend with a pound or less gain, it would be a success. I'll be going to the gym today, and we're going back for leftovers this afternoon. I will keep things under control when I'm there. And I'm going to push myself at the gym.

10/21: 221.8 (-1.0)/18.7 (-0.1). I worked my plan to perfection yesterday. I went to the gym in the morning with my wife, ate a very light lunch, then went to the in-laws to have leftovers from Saturday's party. I stayed in control for the most part, plus I avoided both alcohol and dessert while I was there. Dinner was also very light last night. This is the first time in recent memory that I ended a weekend at the same weight I started the weekend at.

10/22: 221.2 (-0.6)/18.6 (-0.1). At this point any lower number is the lowest weight I've seen in quite a while. I'm going to try not to get too excited when I see them, but it really has been a struggle to get "here." Lots of ups and downs. Maybe I'll celebrate a little (in my head), while continuing to do everything I've been doing (eating better, hitting the gym 3x/wk, playing basketball when I feel healthy enough to do so). My wife put her arms around my "belly" yesterday and told me she notices that it's smaller. I'm continuing to notice positive changes when I look in the mirror. Gym tonight, then I watch the Laker game (first game of the season!).

10/23: 219.6 (-1.6)/18.5 (-0.1). WHOOSH™!!! The last time I went under 220 (after being above), I took a picture and posted it on Facebook. This was a barrier to me before, and it's acted like a barrier to me during my time back in this challenge as well. It's always hard for me to remember that it really takes a while for things to "come together" in this fitness/healthy lifestyle thing. I still find myself getting upset/happy on a day-to-day basis more than I would like to. Don't get me wrong; paying attention to the day-to-day is VITALLY important. But today I can step back a little bit, get a more broad perspective, and say with confidence that THIS IS WORKING. I can say that because: 1) my weight is dropping, 2) my clothes are fitting better, 3) I'm getting stronger at the gym, 4) I can see my muscles again (they're growing), and (5) I am visually noticing some of the other changes in my body (shape). The horribly frustrating part of this is that my "gut" is the last thing to go. While it's definitely gotten smaller, it's still prominent, and likely will remain that way until I get closer to 210 or 205. I'm going to keep doing this the right way; when I do, I KNOW that it works. Sunday night is going to be a night out with drinking. I'm trying to get myself in a good place BEFORE this happens (understanding that I'm not likely to like my weigh-in the next day). Sorry about the long post!

10/24: 219.4 (-0.2)/18.4 (-0.1). Dinner last night was a splurge, but I was still under in my calories. Which brings me to my next subject - time to take this to the next level. I've got my workout routine pretty much down. Basketball is in my life. I'm "taking care" of myself in some important ways. It's time for me to start cutting out some of the unnecessary carbs: bread (especially in sandwiches, which is something of a weakness for me), tortillas, rice, and all sweets (except maybe dark chocolate occasionally and certain berries). I've also done really well in the past when I've cut soda completely out of my life, but I'll hold on to that for the moment. I need to do some shopping to prepare for this properly, but I am going to give it a go starting Monday.

10/25: 219.4 (0.0)/18.4 (0.0). I went to the gym last night, but I wasn't feeling quite as energetic as I have been. I had a moderately heavy dinner (quality-wise), but I did okay with portions. Even before my weigh-in I noticed that my energy is a little bit down today. Again, it probably started last night. Now that I'm thinking about it, it's probably related to "having visitors" this weekend. That means I have to clean everything, because I basically married my mother in this respect (no one can know that we don't live in a house that is perfectly clean, all the time). I get it, I just don't like it. Hmm. I also went yesterday to see a mental health professional for the first time in more than ten years. Anyhoo... basketball is tomorrow, and I think my foot has healed enough for me to play. I'm going to keep plugging along!

10/26: 219.2 (-0.2)/18.4 (0.0). Got really busy all day yesterday and just did not get a chance to post.

10/27: 220.2 (+1.0)/18.5 (+0.1). My parents came over last night for dinner (first time in my new house), and I probably indulged a bit too much... in a bunch of areas. Thank goodness I played basketball yesterday (it offset things a bit), although it was really crowded, and my energy level was pretty low (three weeks away from basketball is a lot for this old man). I'm headed to the gym this morning with my wife, and I'm going to the Queen Mary tonight for the coolest haunted house/Halloween thing in the world. There will be lots of walking and a moderate level of drinking. My food will be under control, however (I've already got it planned). Wish me luck!

🍂🎃🦉 October 🦉🎃🍂
20: 212.6
21: 212.5

22: 213.2 Just a few days until TOM. I'm starting to feel inspired to move more. I haven't done anything that most people would consider exercise during this leg of my journey, but I've recently started parking as far from store entrances as I can and walking around my 1/4 mile lawn path that I finally finished mowing.
23: 212.7
24: 211.4 Officially down 30 pounds from my restart on July 12! 💃💃💃
25: 212.4 TOM
26: 211.3 Surprised by this. I had popcorn late yesterday afternoon + TOM + I feel bloated this morning. I really thought I'd see an increase today, not that I'm complaining. Lol. I know several people have mentioned they don't see extra weight until a couple days later, but my experience has always been that the scale goes up the next day. It makes me wonder what it would have been if I didn't have the popcorn, and I'm kind of excited to see where I'm at tomorrow.
27: 209.8!!! Another minigoal reached! I guess my anticipatory excitement yesterday was warranted! I'm having so much fun with this!
