Day/Weight/Comment

06/06 - 146.5 - We had a small family get together last night on our patio for my husband's birthday. We had Mexican food and watermelon margaritas. I expect it to really catch up with me tomorrow, but it was worth it. I'll just have to be really mindful for the remainder of this round.
06/07 - 146.5
06/08 - 147.5 - It caught up with me.
06/09 - 147
06/10 - 146
06/11 - 146
06/12 - 144.5 - I think my scale got "stuck" at this number this morning. It looks great but I doubt it's valid. We have another small family patio party at my step-daughter's tonight, so either way I expect to be up tomorrow. I am happy though, that I managed to trend my weight back downward this week.
06/13 - 145.5
06/14 - 144.5 - Still trending lower. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow's weigh in.
06/15 - 146 - High sodium supper got me.

06/07 151.0 ⬇️ 0.6 1,713 Calories, 109 Carbs, 81 Net Carbs and 8,862 steps. We celebrated our 46th Wedding Anniversary today at my favorite restaurant. So I over did it, had to have 2 of their home made yeast rolls. So Good. I didn’t have a potato!! I know I will gain a pound but I work on it.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/06: 152.6 - Got a new phone, so fell behind on posting. Mexican food, ice cream, peanut butter & jam with a spoon. Clearly out of control. Fitbit says 4,891 (2.41 miles).

06/07: DNW - Started out well, until roommate smiled and said she'd brought me more ice-cream. Fought the thought for a hour until I caved. Phenomenon of craving is in full swing. Praying for willingness.

06/08: DNW - Let go of the idea that I can rely on my will power. And go figure, cravings left me! I'll forget again soon enough, but with y'all's help, I'm remembering quicker. Fitbit says 9,194 steps (4.01 miles).

06/09: 151.8 - Another good day. Mind not as troubled as last week. Still staying too busy, but eating, sleeping, chilling, enjoying better. And waddaya know... resting heart rate starting to slowly go down again at a steady 67 instead of the jump to 69/70. Usual is in the low 60s. I feel this marker tells the full story. Fitbit says 3,559 steps (1.55 miles). K, it was raining all day, but that's still just a excuse.

06/10: 150.8 - eggs for breakfast, roommate suggested I "look in the freezer". The doll brought me the Peanut Buster Parfait I'd been craving since the weekend, but had so far avoided. First sugar in several days, but totally worth it. No additional cravings so far. Fitbit says 10,117 steps (4.41 miles).

06/11: 149.6 - I'm used to fending for myself wrt food. Lately I'm getting spoiled though. Was served eggs for breakfast, then a veggie pizza and... brownies arrived. I guess another day off of my usual no sugar/no grains lifestyle. Fitbit says 10,201 steps (4.5 miles).

06/12: 150.2
06/13: DNW
06/14: DNW

06/15: DNW - Not sure what happened, but I clearly fell behind. Well, ok, I got a new phone and appear to have wiped out my template. But the real story is apparent upon reading up on my last entries. So I suppose I DO know what happened, which lead me to not want to weigh myself the last several days. Looking forward to R117. Not feeling well and was on the couch all day so this time there a reason that Fitbit says only 2,521 steps (1.1 miles).

Original start weight: 178 lbs (Oct. 10, 2019)
Goal this round: loose and stay under 158.0.

Ultimate goal 145 lbs.

End of round 115 6/5= 159.8 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

06/06 158.4 lbs Had a couple beers and some chips around the campfire, really put me over.

06/07 157.0lbs, rained not much exercise, practiced free motion quilting

06/08 158.8 lbs, farmers had to stop seeding for the rain, so the neighborhood crew got together like we did last winter for pizza and beer on Sunday evenings, so gain is expected.

06/09 156.2 lbs, Graduation this Saturday finally, so doing some staging and decorating. Expecting 30 mph sustained wind that day from the only direction my yard doesn't have many trees. But hoping we can mostly stay outside. I have a lot of last minute clean up out there due to living by a wild life refuge, we have lots of birds in our trees and they leave there presents everywhere, especially anywhere the dog is.

06/10 157. 6 lbs I didn't think that dramatic loss would stay. I should probably rethink my goal for this round because after all this house cleaning and food prep for graduation, I am taking a day off of the diet and sampling.

06/11 156.6 lbs Today is bar making for graduation and a trip to town with the gals to pick up sheet cake and buns. Potentially not a good day for a diet, but will try.

06/12 156.2 lbs

Looking forward:
I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.
Back Story

• June: focus on maintaining and increasing my progress
• 2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
• Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
• Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
• Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy

Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story:

2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
That's a WIN in my book!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

Exercise:
🔹7,500+ Steps daily
🔹30 + minutes intentional exercise

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
