Round 116
06/06 215
06/07 216Well .... at least I know my scales aren’t broken.... hormones this time, I think and a massive lack of water 💦 ... getting back on it today....
06/08 215.75It's heading in the right direction! Hitting the H2O big style and continuing the intermittent fasting. Seem to be naturally working my way up from 16:8 to 18:6. Again I can see body composition changes instead of scale changes.... hoping the scale will kick in properly soon. It's all a learning curve
06/09 214.25Take that scales! 🥳 Finally!! The last couple of days I've been tweaking the carbs, keeping to about 70-80g carbs and lots of fibre with as much water as I can guzzle without going sploosh.
Interestingly, I've also tried to up my calorie intake as well. With IF, I have struggled to get above 1100 cals in a 2 meals with optional snack. So I've started trying to hit a minimum of 1200 more often.
I've also started breaking my fast with a vegan based protein shake with some added bits and bobs, followed by a solid meal. I've upped my steps and started doing more stretching to loosen up the joints and muscles.
I guess I'm throwing everything at it to try and get the scales to budge, so now I'll just track these for a bit to see if the downward trend continues.....
06/10 213.5Super happy to be consolidating the drop and hopefully seeing some momentum . Yesterday I actually struggled to keep to my cals, but I walked more to compensate. Then I tried a new ab workout on YouTube and every other move made me issue a bunch of expletives no one needs to hear! Safe to say, I'm glad I tried, but it just wasn't my thing. I have found some alternatives though, so all is not lost. But wow my abs are weak right now. Looking forward to making them stronger and hopefully improving my posture at the same time!
06/11 214.75Well I guess I deserved that one. Yesterday was a struggle. I was sore from the ridiculous ab workout the day before and didn't do more than some stretching. I just about made a minimum water chug
Going through an emotional grind right now. My partner and I got together shortly before lockdown in the UK started and it's been a rollercoaster 4 months just trying to keep things going while not seeing each other. It's difficult to see a way forward and it's been brewing this last week about whether we can sustain it or not.
I'm in awe of anyone who has family deployed abroad or can't see their loved ones as part of normal life - that's without a virus on top! You guys rock!
My eating wasn't bad but it could have been better. I ordered in from a local restaurant, and while I kept to grilled chicken and fish with some lentils, it probably had a small mountain of salt in it Normally I would be heading for something more comforting, so I guess I'm learning more to deal with my emotions properly rather than eating them.
This morning I woke up too early after 3 hours sleep and so instead of wallowing, I put my workout gear on and walked a brisk 4 miles until my head felt clear. There may have been a few tears, but by the time anyone saw me, it could have been taken as sweat - so it's all good
Wishing you all a strong and positive day ahead! Let's do this!!

06/14 DNW - possibly in a state of avoidance
06/15 215.75 - I figured as much. It was a long week for various reasons. I'm coming back strong though.... I've given myself a little pep talk...

Day/Weight/Comment
06/06 -194.3 (lots of salty foods yesterday)
06/07 - 193.5 (tons of yardwork yesterday, and an alcoholic beverage with dinner!)
06/08 - 194.5 (I was over my sodium goal by 680 mg and it shows. I've always known I'm sensitive to salt, but dang! I feel like I'm ready to pop today.)
06/09 - 193.7 (ah, much better. Decreased my sodium, ate within my calories for the day, good amount of water).
06/10 -192.4 (big loss from yesterday, not sure if it'll be mine to keep or not. But - yesterday was a great day! Good choices all day, 2 mile walk/run, and ate within my calories for the day. Plus it was my first weekday kid free since March, THAT is pretty amazing in and of itself.)
06/11 -193.3 (eh, too good to be true yesterday. I'm okay with that honestly. I overindulged in some cookies- and tracked it- for no good reason. Okay choices the rest of the day, decreased physical activity since it was hot and humid out.)
06/12 193.3 (this is the end of my "week" for weigh-ins Friday to Friday. I'm not sure how I feel about being the same as where I started a week ago. I've completed several outside workouts and I've tracked what I've been eating. This is key for sure. I'm happy for the insights I'm gaining with MFP vs WW, and daily weighing makes more sense to me now than it did previously. I'm still holding out hope that I'll finish this round strong!)
06/13 193.0 (I'll take this number! Yesterday was a good day eating wise. I successfully avoided temptation and my husband and I got sushi take out for dinner which was SO good. Not as much activity as I wanted, but I'm sure I'll make it up this weekend.)
06/14 193.2 (ughhh my body really likes this weight. To be fair, I didn't track all of my intake yesterday and ended the day with pizza. But my husband and I also busted our tails working on our yard more, which was pretty awesome 👌).
06/15 193.3 (end of round, up by 0.1. For my first round weighing daily I'm not mad about this. It's actually been incredibly insightful to see the changes that my body has made day to day based on eating/exercise. I used to be very anti weighing daily as a dietitian, but I'm slowly coming around to the benefits of it. I may just be hooked. What I find also really helpful is the correlation with my samsung health app since I wear my watch during my awake hours and it roughly guesstimates how many calories I burn over the day and it's compared to my intake synced from MFP. It makes sense that I didn't lose this last week. Which prompted me to make some mental notes to switch things up this week. MFP definitely winning over WW in my book!).5 -

Round 116
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
06/06: 213.8 / I always weigh myself in the morning. Not bad for a Saturday morning. I have been known to have my discipline-wheels fall off on a Friday night. In fact, weekends in general are a problem for me.
06/07: 214.4
06/08: 214.8 / pretty minimal damage from the weekend. I just find it a lot easier to stick to the program during the work week. I was very active on Saturday and Sunday.
06/09: 215.4 / Not a bit surprising after yesterday’s office lunch at the Mexican Restaurant. We have not been able to go out for our weekly project management lunch meeting until now. So…. I may have had too much ‘chips and salsa,’ and my Pork Tenderloin Burrito with rice and beans on the side may have been high in fat and sodium. I thought my calorie goals were met for the day, so I supposed salt was the culprit, (Then I remembered my un-logged peanut butter pretzels.) This is why I am here. The examined life is a better life.
06/10: 213.2 / woot!
06/11: 213.2
06/12: 213.2
06/13: 211.0 / yesterday was a day where I was so busy working toward a deadline, then fishing til dark, that I didn’t have time to think about eating. First part of the day burning calories above the neck, second part below the neck. Ha! Tells me something. When I am bored, I eat. I need to get out on the Kraken (boat nick name) more often. I may want to exceed my calorie intake today so my body doesn’t go into famine mode.
06/14: 213.8 / an expected correction, especially after the salt fat and calorie intake yesterday. Yesterday’s weight was an anomaly. Doing better today, but I don’t expect to get back to 211 tomorrow.
06/15: 214.4 / Brutal weekend But a good round, considering there were two weekends in this round. Ended up with a 213.7 average. Almost 2 pounds less than last round’s average.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/06 219.4 yesterday was good but today very lazy under 6000 steps
06/07 219.6 better Sunday got a workout in got eating under calories 8000 steps
06/08 220.1 good Monday 12000 steps and good eating habits
06/09 219.0 yes! day is just starting 1300 calories in 11000 steps poised for a great day
06/10 219.2 Don’t know why this is not trending down yesterday 11000 steps
06/11 218.7 progress but slow yesterday 14000 steps and 1596 calories intake at this point I just want to see a downward trend for challenge
06/12 218.3 ok here we go 10000 steps in the wind so a little extra resistance 1820 out 1830 goal so cutting close. My goal is 2lb I can make it with some hard work.
06/13 218 So yesterday I had a 11000 steps and 1575 calories with an alcoholic drink it is harder to drink water on the weekend but I have managed 40oz thus far
06/14 218.7 This makes no sense to me and I am vert frustrated today. Yesterday is 14000 steps with 1450 calories I am not going to fuss about it. Daily accountability is hard because the difference goes up and down
06/15 217.9 Still not what I wanted but downward trend.

About me: I love learning about food and everything about it; from the way it acts in the body to learning to cook a new recipe. I went to school for nutrition (got my bachelor's) but I didn’t become an RD because it didn’t feel like the path for me. I guess I wanted to keep it as more of an interest instead of a career. I then went into public health to further my education and I currently help medically complex patients by connecting them with community resources to improve their health and life. I enjoy helping family and friends when they ask for advice related to food and nutrition. Plus, it helps me brush up on what I spent so much time learning!
I’m here because when I’m not paying attention to what I eat, I start to gain and feel uncomfortable in my body. For me that results in frustration and a lot of other emotions. It has also increased my cholesterol in the past (It’s good now as far as I know thanks to diet and exercise). I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, and all that fun stuff. So, I want to prevent that for myself by getting a hold of my food habits now.
I’m always open to conversation about food and nutrition, so feel to reach out to me!
06/06 120.0 This makes sense because I did an intense workout yesterday and I have some soreness today. So, it’s just the water retention as my muscles heal.
I just made really yummy summer rolls with brown rice spring roll wrappers, cilantro, leftover ground turkey [seasoned with ginger, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce and lime juice], yellow bell pepper, shredded cabbage and baby greens. Then, I dipped them in a peanut sauce I made with 1 tbs peanut butter, ½ tbs rice vinegar, 2-3 tsps coconut aminos, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, dash of garlic powder, ¼ tsp honey and 1 tsp grated ginger (I used the frozen ginger cubes). I could legit just eat the sauce and be a happy camper but mixed with the summer rolls it was really good too.
I plan on having a bit of a rest day for my Saturday and just enjoy lounging around. I’ll eventually do some chores, but we’ll see how I feel about that. Happy weekend all!
06/07 119.2 Yesterday was a wonderful lazy day where I was able to stay on point with food as well. I lounged around but also created an Excel database of all the recipes I want to cook from my cookbooks. I’m trying to prepare for the Fruit and Veggie CSA that starts on Monday for us. I want to make sure nothing is wasted, so I wanted to have a source of all the recipes I’ve been wanting to make for a while. I’m very excited about the document and hope it helps me meal plan all this produce we’ll be getting.
My plan for today is to make a batch of raspberry beet baked oatmeal to use up some milk we have in the fridge. I haven’t tried this recipe yet, so it’ll be interesting to see how it comes out. Then, I’ll be able to have it for my breakfasts this week too.
Also, I had a non-scale victory of realizing how much my body has changed over the past few months when looking at before and after pictures. I’m down 7 pounds and I’m really starting to feel awesome about the progress I’ve made so far. My muscles are getting stronger and it’s so nice to visibly see the hard work put into the process. On that note, have a beautiful Sunday!
06/08 119.2 Yesterday was a good day food wise and I moved around a bit more doing laundry and chores. I decided to take the weekend off for intentional exercise because I was just feeling a little tired. I feel it’s better to listen to the body than push it and overdo it. This morning I did another solid soccer workout this morning with my father in law.
Today will be a good one food wise because I made that beet raspberry baked oatmeal, so that’ll be my breakfast with a halfish cup of skyrr and some maple syrup drizzled on top. Not sure what dinner will be… most likely something with the fresh produce we’re picking up later today 😊
06/09 119.2 We went for a great 5 mile walk this morning. I also squeezed in a mini body weight workout consisting of push ups and body weight squats. Last night’s dinner was really good. I made a strip steak that my husband and I split because it was 1 pound total. For sides I cooked some baby kale that we had and made some oven fries (using up some potatoes we’ve had for a bit). The CSA pick up was super exciting and I’ll have to find some recipes to use all of the greens we got. We got spinach, Ethiopian kale, sorrel, and baby lettuce. I’ve never cooked with sorrel or Ethiopian kale. The Ethiopian kale has a bit of a mustard/spicier/bitter kick to it. It’ll be fun to see how it comes out. Some other fruits and veggies we got were a cucumber, radishes, potatoes (purple and a white one), cherry tomatoes, strawberries, and apples. Eeeeek I’m so excited about all the produce! 😊
Non scale victory for yesterday was only eating 2/3 of an Everbar (dark chocolately wafer bar) because I felt satisfied and figured I could just save it for tomorrow. By mapping out my dinner calories I knew by eating the bar it was going to be close too, so that was also a motivating factor to stop eating it once I felt satisfied. So it left me with an extra 60 calories in the bank for my dinner.
Not sure what’s on the agenda for dinner tonight but maybe turkey tips?
06/10 119.2 My father in law and I did another killer soccer workout this morning. Lots of sprinting involved and high heart rate levels resulting in an awesome burn and a really good workout for my heart.
I had a half bottle of kombucha yesterday and the caffeine in it messed with my sleep last night, so I’m feeling pretty tired between the workout and funky sleep pattern. We’ll see how productive I am today because of it. Oh well, I’m just glad I had the oomph for the workout 😊.
I ended up making homemade mac and cheese last night for dinner because I had the calories in the bank and my husband just wanted pasta for dinner. It was so good and cheesy. I also put a little Frank’s Buffalo wing sauce on top and that made it even better! Then I rounded it out with a small salad after with some fresh spinach, tomato and cucumber.
Tonight will be the turkey tips with BBQ sauce and a side of greens and the purple potatoes from our CSA. Have a good day everyone!
06/11 119.2 I will happily take this stall because it makes me realize I can have my body stay at a point where I’m happy with it. We have also been running a lot more which in the beginning can cause a bit of water retention. So, maybe I’ll get a little bit of a whoosh soon?
We went for a nice 4ish mile walk this morning and I did a mini bodyweight workout prior. Solid start so far. The turkey tips were good last night with Stubbs bbq sauce on them. 😊 Not sure what’s on the menu for tonight, I don’t know what I’m even in the mood for. I do need to use the sorrel that we got but I’m still not sure what to do with it. I found a chimichurri sauce that looks interesting, so I might try that. Have a good day!
06/12 120.0 Woke up feeling puffy and the scale also reflected that. It could be retention from my workouts on Wednesday and yesterday. We also had dinner a little later and it was a bit salty so this all makes sense. It’s been a good morning so far with another soccer workout. The spin bike we ordered a month ago finally showed up last night! 😊 We got a really good deal on it and it had been lost in transit with UPS and was most likely sitting on a trailer in one of their facilities. I’m just so glad it arrived and feel grateful to be able to have one.
I’m not sure what’s on the agenda for tonight for dinner but I’m hoping something easy for dinner. I have some gardening to do tomorrow and a few other things so it’ll be a low key weekend exercise wise but I will have to try the bike out tomorrow morning.
06/13 119.4 Did not submit anything for today.
06/14 119.4 Yesterday was a wonderfully lazy day filled with binge watching the rest of the 4th season of 13 Reasons Why with my husband. I had pad thai noodles for lunch (it was from this box mix for he got me for Christmas. The sauce was very good and nice and peanutty..not a word I know lol.). Then for dinner we had chicken leg quarters and we dipped them into whatever bbq sauce or hot sauce we wanted. We also had some frozen French fries because it was a bit of a whatever day for us. Days like that are so rejuvenating for me.
I woke up today after a really good night’s sleep filled with ambition. So I picked some herbs to go with the greens I have left from our CSA to make a pesto. The pesto came out yummy and will be going with fresh pasta and spinach tonight for dinner! I might roast those radishes finally too! See you tomorrow for the final day of the round! Then, after making the pesto I made us a smoothie for breakfast to use up the rest of the arugula which I though was sorrel all week. I tasted it again and realized there wasn’t any hint of lemony flavor and that it tasted more like arugula. The smoothie had a little bit of arugula and the radish greens, a frozen acai packet from Trader Joe’s, frozen banana, pineapple, frozen mango, some juice from the canned pineapple, blueberries, cashews, and coconut water.
06/15 119.4 It’s been a solid hold steady round and I’m very happy about that, especially because I got my “friend” a few days ago. So, it’s nice to see it doesn’t make my weight fluctuate like crazy. I tried our spin bike out for the first time yesterday and LOVED it! I also ended up with a killer post calorie burn. It was insane. I thought my watch was being glitchy because my calorie burn for the day was so high with only 25 minutes on the bike. It must have been because I got my heart rate up so high during the workout.
It’s our second CSA produce pick up and I’m so excited! It’s crazy how happy fresh produce makes me. I feel like such a dork but I love it haha!
On the agenda for dinner tonight are croc potted chicken thighs with an Indian style curry sauce, onions, potatoes from last weeks CSA and greens that we’ll be getting from today’s CSA. Yippeee! Happy Monday all!
Final for round 120 to 119.4.

6/06: 226.2 -- Since I reallly don't feel like cooking (or going to market), already know its a snacking kinda day. I'll have to be careful and creative!
6/07: 224.0 -- Although stayed within calorie range, was neither careful nor creative yesterday, lol - BUTTT ... had my grandbaby all day, watched a bunch of old movies AND slept 9 hours! Could this be proof R&R and the occasional cheat day actually does the body good? We'll see ...
6/08: 223.3 -- hit record # of steps since I started counting a month ago ... (11,627)
Weather is supposed to be gorgeous here. Definitely looking forward to getting some sun this week! Hope you all meet your goals and find some serenity in the madness we're living in. Peace & blessings friends.
6/09: 222.0 -- started exercise coaching app today; hoping it'll be a new way to stay motivated.
6/10: DNW -- woke to family crisis and forgot; high stress day personally and professionally w/ limited movement.
6/11: 223.6 -- emotions and energy still very low; going to have to dig deep to get through the day
6/12: 222.7 -- lawd it was hard reaching 10,000 steps yesterday. Was dragging one leg @ a time over the finish line, but I did it! Hope to keep it going and gain some momentum over the weekend.
6/13: 220.9 -- had some questionable dietary choices (but stayed within macros) so happy to see! 20 minutes of weight training and 8,118 steps yesterday FELT like 15,000!! A good day to go lay under a tree. Make it a great day peeps.
6/14: 220.4 -- yesssss! a stellar 8K day with lots of sun, stretching and easy movement ... perfectly peaceful
6/15: 222.1 -- first upward tick in a few days, but no worries ... -3.3 for the round

Goal for this round: Lower than where I started.
06/06: 153.2
06/07: 151.2 Not sure how this happened, but I’ll take it! I’ve had a very busy weekend with a family wedding, so lots of good food, but also a lot of running around helping my sister.
06/08: 149.8 I don’t expect this to stay - most of the day yesterday I fasted in prayer for a dear family friend who was in a horrific car accident recently. Less than 800 calories total.
06/09: 150.8 Glad the gain I expected wasn’t too much. Hoping to work hard to keep it here or below.
06/10: 149.0 Fingers crossed I can keep it below that 150 threshold. I have a tendency to get excited when I see good numbers and then “reward” myself with a treat. So stupid and self-sabotaging! No treats today!
06/11: 151.0 Oof! But still down for the round, so perspective. Not making excuses, but while I didn’t succumb to treats, we did have a very high-calorie meal to celebrate something great for one of my kids. Also, TOM.
06/12: 150.2 Glad to see an overall downward trend. Trying to keep on track to get and stay consistently below 150.
06/13: 148.2 Cautiously optimistic!
06:14: 149.6 Glad it’s still under 150, even if just barely. Pulled weeds for 4 hours yesterday, but also went over my calories with a big lunch and big dinner.
06/15: 150.8 — Hoped to end the round under 150, but happy with my overall weight loss this round. Looking forward to the next round!

@kblanc14 - whoo! roast radishes! Never thought of roasting those, only ever had them raw in salads, let me know how they taste. I fancy trying them myself.
The roasted radishes were so good! I cut them into quarters and tossed them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, cooked them at 450 F for about 20-30 minutes checking them and flipping them every so often until golden brown. They caramelize and mellow out really nicely. They lose their peppery bite and transform in flavor. They definitely shrink down a bit so if you like radishes cook more than you think. Let me know if you try them!3 -

06/07 182.4 Whoohoo! A big whoosh down. Won’t count on keeping all of it, part of it is stomach upset yesterday having me eat less, but gratifying to see. Because this has worked so far, I bit the bullet and established my next mini-goal. Really debated on how large or small to set it; decided on a number that represents my weight when I first met my husband 12 years ago. Wish me luck!
06/08 184.0 I didn’t expect to keep all that whoosh, but no good reason to pop up so high. Was green on calories, lots of activity. Maybe dinner was higher sodium than I thought. But I finished the weekend below 185!
06/09 183.2 I’ll take it. Stayed green, got 2 walks in as well as strength training.
06/10 182.4 I’ve been working hard for this, eating green and drinking water. Happy to see this number again and a Happy Scale average of under 183.
06/11 182.0 So happy to be on a losing trend. I want to ride this train as long as I can before I end up on another plateau. I don’t feel like my habits are hugely different right now (eat green, exercise) just my body is cooperating by yielding results.
06/12 181.0 I just hoped to keep at 182, didn’t expect another pound off; so happy my body has decided to keep losing. Maybe it’s the strength training? Last week I started doing ~15-20 minutes 4x week, in addition to my usual walking 30-60 minutes/day. Often I’ve had my weight stall when I add in strength; happy that’s not the case right now!
06/13 181.4 This makes sense. Stayed green, did arm weights + hour walk, but had pizza for dinner which probably was higher sodium than my usual meals. Now the trick is to come out the other side of the weekend with a similar weight!
06/14 182.4 Pretty high sodium dinner even though the calories weren’t that bad. Definitely felt bloated and gurgly last night. Hopefully this flushed out when I pound a lot of water today.
06/15 182.4 Again, ate well and in the green, so I can only guess this is high sodium. Happy Scale has my average as less than 182 so I’m happy. I did notice on my Happy Scale app that I have a high measurement after every weekend for the past few months. So hopefully this recedes soon.

Goal Weight this Round: Stay in 140’s
Drink plenty of water, keep organizing.Walk
6/6-149 Walked 7 miles. It’s been cooler and breezy!
6/7-152-No walk, worked around the house with DH, then brought the rest of my clothes here AFTER I reinforced my closet rod. I prepped for lunch at my in-laws today, including pie and bread. We take it to their house and sit out in the backyard and eat and visit. They are 77 & 90 and don’t go anywhere. I may not even weigh tomorrow. Have a wonderful Sunday!🌸
6/8-150-I really don’t deserve this; I ate some of everything and then came home and had beer and garlic bread for dinner.
6/9-Windy, appointments and not much of a walk. Today will be better.....I can just feel it!!!🙂
6/10-151-Had to get a mammogram yesterday, so I treated myself to hamburger and fries but didn’t get king sized and had iced tea. Continued to drink water and did a smaller walk. I’m hoping for a bike ride this morning before it’s hot!
6/11-149-Rode the bike 11 miles and ate light. Walking today and it’s going to be hot.
6/12-151- Walked 10 miles. Lots of running around to do today and getting a hair cut. Hoping for a bike ride.
6/13-150-Walked 4 miles, super windy. We are heading to get the rest of the items from storage. Long day.....
6/14-DNW-Fast food and long hours in car.
6/15-151- Made the last trip to empty storage but brought healthy food to eat. Now to empty the boxes.3 -

Round 115 SW 199.6 EW 192
Went off the wagon over quarenteen, but started logging again during round 115. My goal this round is to get back in the 180's. No alcohol this month and at least 20,000 steps a day!!
Day/Weight/Comment
06/06 191.6 Walked 20,000 steps yesterday. Stuck to food plan. Ate 2 meals between 12:00 and 7:00. No snacking!
06/07 191.2 Walked 25,000 steps yesterday. Stuck to food plan. I woke up early today so I can walk before it gets too hot. Plan on another 25,000 steps today and continuing 2 meals of salad greens with protien,and healthy fats, no alcohol and eating window between noon and 7 pm. Lots of water!! It feels good to be back in control.
06/08 191.6 Walked 21,000 steps yesterday and stuck to plan. I think this uptick is my body adjusting to the large weight loss last week. I'm going to just keep on keeping on. It's suppposed to storm today and tomorrow, so I will be doing more weight work the next few days.
06/09 191.8 Grr.... I walked for 1.5 hours straight briskly in the morning and painted a closet the rest of the day. I had 2 meals a day consisting of greens with protien and healthy fats. No snacking, no alcohol. My whole body is sore, so I am hoping that my muscles are retaining some water and I will see a drop tomorrow. I plan on drinking a ton of water today. Walked more than 20,000 steps yesterday.
06/10 191.4 Trying not to get discouraged, because I am working so hard, and not seeing results on the scale. I can tell that my stomach is flatter and my body is firmer from all of the exercise. Hoping to get a whoosh before the end of this round. Yesterday I walked 17,000 steps and ate within plan.
06/11 DNW My scale broke into thousands of pieces yesterday...no, I didn't break it on purpose. My new scale will be arriving later today. Yesterday I walked 25,000 steps and stuck to plan. I did drink 1 Truly last night. Hoping when I weigh tomorrow I will see a loss.
06/12 191.1 Sooo slow....... Walked 21,000 steps yesterday. Ate 2 meals consisting of spinach and other greens, chicken and healthy fats. Drank lots of water.
06/13 190.0 Finally a decent drop! I still have a chance of getting into the 180's by the end of this round. Walked 25,000 steps yesterday. Had a yummy small filet last night with spinach salad. I am getting used to drinking sparkeling water from my wine glass at night while cooking out instead of wine. I really don't miss the wine, and I feel so much better!
06/14 190.0 I have one more day to get into the 80's.... Yesterday I walked 26,000 steps and ate within plan.
06/15189.2Yay! I made it into the 180's! I plan to keep doing what I am doing. Walked 22,000 steps yesterday and stuck to food plam. Had 1 Truly last night.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
6/06 - 184
I’m taking a round of cephalexin and feel puffy. Water retention isn’t listed as a side effect, but something is causing this. Phooey. Anyway, I’m off for a walk on the rivergreenway and have an afternoon of garden work planned. One of these days I’ll have a breakthrough. I’m a bit depressed and disgusted with myself about this and the news. Maybe the river and trees will help. Have a good Saturday.
6/07 - 185
Seriously waterlogged. Calories were fine, though, so I know it’s just water. It’s a gorgeous day here so I’m off to walk along the river again. Increasing daily distance to get back to my old 5-10 miles/day.
6/08 - 183.2
Okay, finished the antibiotics and I feel less bloated. All good.
6/09 - 183.2
Calories low yesterday. I baked a cake and brownies to give away and didn’t sample at all — yay me! It’s supposed to get hot this afternoon, so I’m off for a walk on the rivergreenway and then picking up mulch to finish my new beds. Also plotting another....Left to my own devices, the whole backyard would be flower and herb beds with a few veggies here and there.
🌻🌸🌼
6/10 - 183
Not a great number but at least it’s moving in the right direction. I’m going for a walk and then hope to spend the rest of the day in the garden, moving a few things, planting the last few, yanking a couple....So good for the spirit.
6/11 - 181.8
Finally, some progress! We have a very low-calorie day planned — DH brought home shrimp. Yum! Off for a walk, then lots of weeding and dead-heading. I might even do a little writing (my actual work!). Have a lovely day, all!
6/12 - 182.6
Oops. I confess, I had salty popcorn and a little ice cream last night, calories over goal. Back on track today.
6/13 - 182
I’m a little surprised as I had a glass of wine and some dark chocolate last night, but I also spent about 3 hours weeding and digging grass out along the edges of my gardens, so maybe it evened out. It’s cooled way off today, but not raining, so I’m off for a walk. Have a lovely Saturday, all.
6/14 - 182
Expected a rise because I went a bit overboard (again) yesterday. Still could happen tomorrow, but I’ll take this for now. Staying away from snacks is obviously still a work in progress, but today is a new day. I’m going to build a trellis this morning to brighten up a corner of the garden that’s a bit dark and shady.
6/15 - 181.2
Okay, down from the start of the round. I haven’t gotten my calorie average down where I want it, but it’s not too bad. It’s gorgeous here today, so I’m planning to write in my garden for a while, then paint my new trellis, then go walking in one of our lovely parks or the greenway. Maybe hit my favorite nursery one more time. Not a bad vice! I really want to start a new cutting garden on the side of the house but may need to wait on that one. See you next round!

My goals for the round -- lose 2 pounds; continue to log food and post every day; focus on snacking control at night. Also, continue to log steps -- I decided on May 18 to walk a million steps before the end of July (70 days.) I am currently a full day off the pace due to a minor foot injury 10 days ago.

06/06 229.4; steps 8264, fell asleep sitting up on the sofa instead of taking a walk. I think we were watching the Great British Baking Show when I crashed. It's always about food with me! Anyway, will try to start making up the lost steps this week. Foot hasn't healed which is a potential problem for a diabetic but it is slowly moving in the right direction. I am looking forward to this round, hope to leave the 230s far in the rear view mirror this month.
06/07 - 6/10 out of town / funeral / road food / relatives' food
06/11 I'm back you lucky devils! Weight 228.4. Not sure how that happened because there hasn't been a healthy meal in days. Let's see what I can salvage of my momentum. Enjoy the day!
06/12 228.6. Blood sugar fine, food was under target, steps were okay (12792) so this is acceptable for the first day back. Looking forward to the weekend -- We need a break, even though it has been a short work week for me!
06/13 This space for rent
06/14 229.8. Not my best day yesterday or my best round, to be honest. While real life issues have given me legit reasons to want to embrace apathy, I am not going to give in to the impulse. I'll do better. No need for to click the hug button here, I'm going to gut through this. (They really need to add a button to click here that says "Kick him in the *kitten*")
06/15 229.6. Good exercise, stayed within calories. This round has been a wake up call. Consider me wide awake for the next round. grrrrr! I hope to see everyone there.4
