07/16 163.2 Holy hell! Serious wake up call!!! 3,383 steps - Personal training session via zoom.

07/17 161.6 Nice walk today. 11,938 steps

07/18 162.2 I expected a little rise in weight since we had really salty Indian food last night. I'll drink a lot of water today and go for another long walk.

07/19 162.2 I cleaned outside windows. Holy moly that's tough. Then we watched Saving Mr. Banks, so we needed to have English tea. You know - with cream and sugar.

07/20 163.2 Workout at 12:30 (339 calorie burn) and cleaning. I don't know what's left to clean, but I'll find something. Then I need to meal prep because I don't trust myself any more.
4,362 steps

07/21 162.2 Walked today before my class. I'll walk again afterwards. I did meal prep yesterday, so I'm all set for today.
10, 539 steps

07/22 161.4 Beach day!!! And my bike arrives today.
10,107 steps

07/23 163.0 Um, yeah. This will go away for tomorrow I'm sure. Workout strength training scheduled today and I'll calibrate my new bike.

07/19: 238.4 (-2.6)/20.5 (-0.3)

07/20: 236.8 (-1.6)/20.3 (-0.2)

07/21: 235.8 (-1.0)/20.2 (-0.1). Here I go again! Life has been rough. I'm really trying to get out of my current job... let's call it an "unsafe work environment." I'm just trying to hang on until something pops up, and I'm a little bit scared that it's not going to happen in time. That being said, I AM SICK OF BEING FAT. So here I am, coming back to the place that has always seemed to work for me in the past. The great news is that my wife is not only on-board with the idea of me getting fit/healthy, but she is actually joining me on the journey. There are always negotiations that need to take place; she wants to define her exceptions and "cheat days" before she gets into any routine, and I am much more about jumping in and figuring out those things as they come. Honestly, I don't believe that you need to "plan" cheat days; they happen ALL THE TIME. Anyways, I'll be around consistently for the foreseeable future. I've been struggling to do this, but something is different this time.

07/22: 235.2 (-0.6)/20.2 (0.0). Two days in a row... I feel like I'm in AA! I decided to take the rest of the week off from work to rest and recharge, and also to get used to my body deciding that it's not happy with the idea that I'm clearing house and making changes. I don't really care what my body's opinion is at this point; this needs to happen. I know I'm going to be saying this over and over again, but THANK YOU all for being here, and being so supportive. It feels great every time I'm here, and... man, there's really nothing left to say. It doesn't make any sense that I would ever stop posting/reading here, and I'm finished with "not making sense" at this point in my life.

07/23: 233.6 (-1.6)/20.0 (-0.2). I try not to get too excited when I step on the scale, but today felt good. My back is HURTING today (lower and mid... very weird), just as it did yesterday. But I haven't let pain sidetrack me, which is a good thing. My wife finally jumped on the scale this morning for the first time since we started, and noticed that she's already lost 2 lbs. I know my weight loss is a bit exaggerated at this point because it's the beginning, but I'll take it. I'm going to try to find a way to get a little bit of activity in today, in hopes that it might have a positive effect on my back.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16 - 168.01378 cals Sticking with my plan. Yesterday...stress and skipped my cardio I only lifted
weights. I will make up the cardio as it was optional today!

07/17- 168.2 1574 cals Weight seems to be fluctuating through day. I was lazy with cardio and diet.
although I won't complain because I haven't skipped a day of working out yet!

07/18- 167.8 1677 cals I guess I'm struggling with my calories today although I did complete a
short 30 minute walk on treadmill. Gonna exercise tonight and try and do better
with diet!

07/19 - 167.81324 cals I would like to be more consistent and weigh myself in the morning. I will workout this evening and try and be strict with my calories today. I am glad that at least I didn't gain

07/20 - 168.21405 cals Morning weigh-in, last night more cardio and lifting stuck to diet. I will try and stick to diet and exercise today. Hoping it is water weight or added muscle and burned fat?

07/21- 167.0 1619 cals Cardio day... 1hr last night. At least I weigh less than yesterday now let's stay on track with calories and exercise...I believe I can achieve!

07/22- 168.0 2088 cals I guess my weight is going back up again! I was hoping to lose more than a lb as long as this troublesome pound stays gone! I mostly did legs in the gym today and my gym buddy never showed! Oh, well just hope I learn a bit of self-disciplene through this experience if nothing else.

07/23- 168.6 XXXX cals I did 60 min of cardio and although the inches are coming off the pounds seem to cling on to me. I can't seem to lose a pound and keep it off. My weight is also seriously fluctuating during the day. Trying to be more strict w my calories...it's a struggle!

07/18 - 57.1kg, all good in the hood!
07/19 - 57.4kg, the body seems to love being in the 57-58kg range, >13,000 steps yesterday, good clean eating
07/20 - 57.6kg, oh no! Going the wrong way, sodium was high yesterday so many it's water. >13,000 steps yesterday
07/21 - 57.4kg, no walking yesterday, just gardening, less salt, happy to hang at this weight for now
07/22 - 57.0kg, a new low in this diet saga and I have learned to expect a bounce will follow, < 11,000 steps Tuesday

Day/Weight/Comment

07/16 - 327.8
07/17 - 329.7 - doing alt. day intermittent fasting means I'll have an uptick in weight every other day. I expect it and am prepared. I'm so prepared that if I lose too much too quickly, I'll change from a 4:3 to a 5:2 fasting pattern. But so far, so very good.
07/18 - 326.8 - As expected, down a pound from 2 days ago. Since July 6th, down almost 14 lbs. Alt. day IF really has kickstarted my losses after being stuck on a plateau for almost 7 weeks.
07/19 - 329.3 - Right where I expected to be. With 4:3 fasting, my weight should be slightly up after the weekend, then back down after the fasting days. Instead of measuring on a day-to-day basis, a better measure for me will be on a week-to-week basis.
07/20 - 329.9 - And another slight uptick after 2 days of eating. Not a problem, since last Monday I weighed in at 332.5. As long as I keep my weight around the 2 lb. loss per week mark, I'm happy.
07/21 - 328.5 - Down about 3 lbs. from previous week.
07/22 - 328.4 - I wish it were a bit more, but this is one day after eating. If I'm under tomorrow what I weighed on the 16th (one week ago), I'll be quite happy.
07/23 - 326.2 - There we go. After a full 40+ hours of fasting, the drop starts again.

07/17 146.0 lbs. ⬆️ I have to get my eating under Control again. One thing I don’t talk about much. But in the past I was/ am a binge eater!! It’s a bad habit I have and it still shows up just when I think I have it under control. One good thing is that I’m eating health food not just Junk!! 1,112 Calories, 65 Carbs, 44 Net Carbs , 5,887 steps and 30 minutes aerobics! Carbs are high but I had Green Beans from the garden and they were worth the Carbs.
07/18 145 lbs ⬇️ 1,411 Calories, 41 Carbs, 33 Net Carbs and 5,517 steps. Sweet corn is just starting to be ready and we had some for lunch. I know it’s not low carb but that’s OK.

07/19 144.2 lbs 1,243 Calories, 35 Carbs, 14 Net Carbs and 6,443 steps. It’s Sunday and our 1st time back to church since March 12th and we closed down. Wearing mask and social distancing!!

07/20 144.2 lbs 1,428 Calories, 66 Carbs, 45 Net Carbs and 7,653 steps. Evening stacking is killing my Carbs!

07/21 144.4 lbs 1,469 Calories, 75 Carbs, 68 Net Carbs and 8,245 steps. Today it was the sweet corn out of our garden that was high on carbs.

07/22 145.2 lbs 1,231 Calories, 47 Carbs, 28 Net Carbs and 5,324 steps. Spent the day running 2 of my granddaughters around. From ball practice to orthodontist and then to softball game.

07/23 145.2 lbs 1,106 Calories, 29 Carbs, 15 Net Carbs and 4,323 steps. I put up 32 quarts of sweet corn into the freezer. Kept me busy today.

07/15 …..209.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

07/16 …..210.1 ….. I want to apologize for not being very engaging these past few rounds. There are some major changes going on in my life, some good, some full of turmoil, and my time has been limited and my efforts constantly disrupted. What I am facing could turn positive but it is going to take awhile for it to all come together. My diet and exercise has been completely thrown off-kilter no matter how hard I have tried to keep a good schedule. My usual walking plans of many, many miles per day has been non-existent. Covid has contributed but is not the main factor. I am saddened by this because summer is usually my most successful time of year due to walking, hiking and outdoor activity. I hope for resolution in the coming months, certainly by the end of the year. In the meantime, I will continue to hang around and do what I can, when I can. I know how important it is to my health. I just wanted to say I am sorry that I am not in a position to inspire at this time, but that I continue to be inspired by each and every one of you. I ask for your patience. I still have so much to learn from you all which I know will help when my life is back in order and I can get back in the game 100%. Thanks for your understanding and support.

07/17 …..210.0 ….. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes and private emails too. It is truly appreciated during what is proving to be an especially challenging time. @quiltingjaine When I was a Postal worker years back and on my feet all the time, the gov’t recommended calcium, magnesium and zinc which we took in a 1 pill combo pill. It really did help with leg cramps, muscle soreness and all the things leg related. Of course, talk to your doctor if you have any concerns. It helped thousands of us, just in my building alone!

07/18 …..210.0 ….. Status Quo.
07/19 …..210.1 ….. Hopefully just a fluctuation.
07/20 …..210.0 …..
07/21 …..210.0 ….. No progress but no detriment either so I’ll take it (for now).

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.
July: focus is on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:

• 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.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/16–179.4 Well, that just stinks! I did pretty much everything wrong yesterday, and it shows. I almost didn’t post here this morning. Almost didn’t weigh. But that’s what I do when I lose control and vanish from the board, so I decided to just own it and move forward. So that’s a positive, right? I’m hoping this drops off pretty quickly since it was a one day deal, but I know it will take a while to make progress beyond where I was at the end of Round 119. But it's all good. I'm still here and will not give up this time.
07/17–177.6 So, that’s real progress, but some of the damage remains, which is always true, isn’t it? Had a perfectly lovely morning hiking with granddaughter in a pack on my back to an enormous sunflower field. She loves riding on my back in that pack, and I love carrying her into some of my favorite places.
07/18–176.0 Finally some real progress. I’ll take it! I ate lots of fresh veggies and some fresh peaches yesterday along with a farm-raised filet mignon for dinner last night. Got in a good walk early yesterday morning. IF 16:8
07/19–175.6 Sure hope I can maintain control today and keep this trend going!
07/20–174.8 Summer vegetables and fruits from the farmer’s markets make this such a delicious time of year! I even worked in a little ice cream treat yesterday when it was 96 degrees here with humidity of like 1000%—such a scorcher! I’m learning it’s all about portion control and retraining my brain to stay away from, for me, these things: breads, heavy starchy foods (pasta, white potatoes,etc), and rich, saucy ways of cooking things—not necessarily eliminating them entirely, but avoiding them whenever possible. Our family’s favorite dessert right now is fresh fruit (last night was peaches and cherries) with a dollop or two of low fat vanilla yogurt on top. Onward and hopefully downward—one day at a time!
07/21–175.4 Part of the process. I had a rest day from planned exercise yesterday. I was just tired! Gotta get back on it today! But hey, I'm within 10 lbs of my first big goal! That's exciting.
07/22–175.8 This is my body being stubborn. Ate well and exercised a lot yesterday, so I was good with all that. Guess I could have drunk more water, so that is the goal for today.
07/23–175.0 Good day yesterday. Didn’t get derailed by the uptick from the day before. This is truly a mental game, isn’t it? Lots of exercise in spite of it being a sauna here right now. Walked early morning and late evening in addition to just staying busy during the day.
07/24–174.6 I felt great yesterday! I think the better food and extra exercise on a regular basis is starting to affect my overall wellness. I’m hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains today for the first time in months, and I cannot tell you how excited I am about that. I used to hike almost every weekend, but life responsibilities have gotten in the way, and I just don’t get to go very often anymore. I don’t normally lose when I hike though, so today’s weight could be my low for this round and that’ll be fine. :-)

Round 120: SW 170.8, GWFR: 169.x

07/16: 170.8; Had a rough workout yesterday that left me terribly over heated and dehydrated. Though my weight stayed low, I still don't think it's a true reflection of where I am. I'm guessing 171.8 or so...

07/17: 171.2; Weight is starting to level out now that I'm hydrated. Glad the bump up was so small.

07/18: DNW

07/19: 171.8; Poor eating yesterday

07/20: 171.0 Don't think I'm gonna hit my 169.x goal this round, but at least I'm pretty much the same.

07/21: 170.0 Whoosh... I guess 169.x is pretty close after all.

07/22: 168.2 Whoosh and round goal met. This is probably a blip from being a tad dehydrated from yesterday, but not completely wrong. I was surprised though as I had Chinese for dinner yesterday. Go me!

07/23: DNW, went to work early and just plum forgot. I'll catch it tomorrow!

07/24: 170.8 (TOM) I always bump up 2-3 pounds during this phase of the moon. I still think I hit goal this round.

Skipped RND#108-RND#119 - I struggled during this work-from-home isolation. Ate too much, didn't work out enough. I am.just glad I didn't put on MORE weight. My gym is open, so I'm back and working out... and generally feeling less depressed and more positive than I had since the world went insane back in Feb & Mar. Hope you all are hanging in!

Day/Weight/Comment

7/16 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 6h38m/85 - good sleep! Mostly a great workout, but got a little light headed at the end. The rest of the day was busy. Glad to be getting back on track!
7/17 162.4lbs, 35.0%bf; 6h28m/81 - up for bit in the middle of the night - again. A little sore.
7/18 164.2lbs (?? why ??) 35.5%bf; 5h45m/71 - slept straight through, but clearly not long enough. Out early doing yardwork since it will be SO hot today.
7/19 163.6lbs, 35.3%bf; 8h18m/91!!! Got up a couple times during the night but was always able to get back to sleep.
7/20 162.8lbs, 35.2%bf; 4h16m/59 - well, that certainly isn't good rest. It's too hot.
7/21 162.8lbs, 35.2%bf; 6h50m/84 - better! So frigging hot! 🔥
7/22 162.6lbs, 35.1%bf; 6h36m/77 - struggled with sleep again. Had a good workout and did better with my eating.
7/23 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 6h52m/83 - better rest; workout felt good. No way I'm making goal this round, tho. 🤷‍♀️
7/24 161.8lbs, 34.9%bf; 8h9m/90 - much better!

Round 120
Month/Day: Weight / Comment

07/16: 212.4 / Starting this round at my average for last round. NSV: yesterday I actually reached my hand out to pick up a 2nd donut at work, and then pulled it back. Thought about how it might affect my 10-day challenge. Wish I could be that way all the time. Does anyone else feel obligated to take a donut or cookie that someone else brings in to share at work? I do not want to hurt their feelings or put-down their act of kindness. I think I am actually wrong about this.
07/17: 212.0
07/18: 211.8 / I will happily take this, since I did not weigh until mid day after fishing all morning. Left the house at 3:45 am. Drank a lot of water. Tomorrow will be higher. I may need a nap. 😊
07/19: 213.8
07/20: 215 / Another weekend with DW family as house guests. Throw a family reunion in there for good measure. I made awesome Kabobs yesterday (So I am told.) Sous Vide the steak and finished it on the grill with the veggies. Another festival of salt these past two days.
07/21: 211 / I feel like a pufferfish . ( https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/fish/group/pufferfish/ )
07/22: 211 / I rarely weigh the same on two days in a row. Let’s bump it down a notch for tomorrow.
07/23: 210 / I would be somewhat happy if this would develop into my normal high-end of a maintenance range (noun). As you can see by the numbers, my weight ranges (verb / 3rd person present. I had to look that up. Ha!). Now is the time to fight the tendency to let up because I am “doing so well.”
