Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 - 170.6 An optimistic start
08/06 - 171.1 These ounces be playing with me!
08/07 - 172.2 What!? Really? I can only imagine what this would be if I wasn't logging and exercising. When ounces turn to pounds, it's time to double down. (so clever, right?):*
08/08 - 170.6 Back to the start; weird numbers this round. Plenty of days left to goal.
08/09 - 169.6 ...and now to keep the number thru the end if the round. That is the hard part. (I smell bacon)
08/10 - 170.5 Bacon...and ham are the devil.
08/11 - 170.4 No time for exercise and necessary to eat past the IF window--family members out patient surgery went long--but turned out well. YAY! Medical providers are
08/12 - 171.5 In the words of @_JeffreyD_ : I was naughty

Popping in quickly to say hello! We had a great day of 15ish miles of hiking yesterday and one over night in our tent. There was possible inclement weather approaching for last night so we decided to hike out of our camp site and head to the condo a night earlier. We won’t be eating out again because even just picking up Thai takeout last night made me too uncomfortable with the amount of people around inside the restaurant without masks(I’m still really cautious because I’m at risk and MIL is as well), so that’ll help with keeping the food healthier. I just have a little bit of leftovers to enjoy for lunch today but I’m going to bulk it up with some of our csa veggies.
My day today will be filled with coloring mandalas, sitting on our balcony and just enjoying our time away without the need to respond to anyone.
Here’s a picture of me on top of the mountain because I was damned proud of myself lol! Once we got to the trailhead from our campsite (2ish miles), it was another 3.4 mile trek up 3,300 ft of elevation gain...which is a pretty darn decent incline. The clouds eventually cleared and we got some views too
@kblanc14 Wow! What an accomplishment. Thanks for sharing the wonderful pic. You look fantastic, by the way!

08/05 - 145.8 - I think that this is my 28th round, so it will be 280 days. 12 pounds lost in 27 rounds. Mostly a downward trend with around 5 rounds where it went up. Loving the accountability and the posts here.
08/06 - 145.8 - Extra workouts yesterday, but extra food and cocktails too. Glad to not have gained.
08/07 - 147.1 - Not sure why my weight jumped, taking it in stride and hoping to see it go back down tomorrow.
08/08 - 145.8 - Yesterday's weird fluctuation gone. I plan to work out more over the weekend and prep healthy food for the week to come.
08/09 - 146.4 - Had a few cocktails yesterday which always derails my weight loss. Back on the horse.
08/10 - 146.8 - Weighed earlier than usual.
08/11 - 146.4 - Matching the last 10s EW, staying diligent.
08/12 - 145.6 - That is better. I have been completely on track, so I guess that I just had to be patient and allow the process to work.

08/04 …..209.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/05 …..209.8 …... Good luck everyone this round!
08/06 …..209.8 …..
08/07 …..209.6 ….. I basically burned it off with lots of hard work yesterday. Diet still not completely on point. Still too many “distractions” and “upended” dramatic things going on in my life, my family and my business. I am doing what I can, when I can. No excuses, just realistically making a better plan for myself as I am able. I am grateful for the small drop on the scale.
08/08 …..209.8 ….. Sodium/Water retention for sure.
08/09 …..209.8 …..
08/10 …..209.5 ….. Lots of heavy cabin cleaning and regular Sunday duties burned many calories. Diet was not exactly on point but my quantities were low and no junk food.
08/11 …..209.5 …..
08/12 …..209.7 ….. Little fluctuations up & down. Primarily at a standstill. @musicsax Thanks for the continued updates on DGS. Such good news! My prayers will continue and I, too, will pray for the donor family. Such a WONDERFUL gift.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/5 - 182
Snack monster won last night, dammit, but Total calories 1 over goal.
8/6 - 182
I know I wrote an update yesterday but I can’t find it — maybe I hit Done instead of post. I hate that! Anyway, I filled in the gap and here I am, still floating along. Calories within range. Didn’t get my walk as a friend dropped by for chat, outdoors, socially distanced. That was nice — I hadn’t seen her since March. Off to walk this morning.
8/7 - 182
Calories overboard yesterday, and snack/dessert/peach cobbler at last night’s monthly garden gathering with 3 friends. I went for a lovely 4-mile walk at a park I had it been to in about 12 years. I’m heading out shortly for a another old favorite. (Having lived elsewhere for 10 years, its fun to rediscover what’s here!) Then I have some serious garden work to do — planting a new arrowwood viburnum and moving a few things around. Have a lovely Friday, all!
8/8 - 183.6
Ugh. Water mostly, Fazoli’s carry out for dinner, plus too much food the day before. I could feel the salt spreading through me Last night and sucking up everything I drank! I feel puffy today. Planning to eat very light and drink (water) very heavy today. I planted a new viburnum yesterday and have lots of garden work planned for the weekend, expanding a couple of beds and moving things around. Have a lovely Saturday, all!
8/9 - 183.2
Boy, it goes on so much more easily than it comes off! But...calories well below goal yesterday, and I did lots of work in my garden...built two raised beds in a spot that regularly kills plants, so I’m hoping this will solve the problem; loaded, unloaded, and “installed” 10 40-lb bags of soil; replanted perennials in the new raised beds. Today I’m planning to begin enlarging the outlines of my herb bed (Below) — 7’ seemed like the right size when I started it last spring, but it’s slightly too small. But the bees and hummers like it anyway! I love to sit near it in the evening and inhale the scents — peppermint, spearmint, basil, oregano, two thymes, sage. Mmmmm! Better than eating!
8/10 - 182.6
I fell off the no snack wagon last night — I worked about 3 hours putting in a new garden bed and enlarging another and I was hungry! Apparently I’ve flushed out the salt from the other day, though.
8/11 - 182.2
Big storms last night. We had no damage other than power outage and internet just came back, but our next door neighbor’s beautiful big crabapple broke mid-trunk and is across both our yards. Fortunately, it didn’t hit either house. Other friends also have trees down. I hope whoever else was in the path of this derecho is ok.
8/12 - 182.6
Ice cream, dammit. But it did taste good. I have a garden digging workout planned for this morning, and a walk on the greenway later. I’m determined to soak up what summer is left!

08/12 - 154.5 - Bouncy bouncy but its okay. Had green curry chicken last night (homemade) and it had a bit more sodium than I'd like. Definitely had more water yesterday than in a long while. BF built me an elevated garden bed for the backyard so dog can't get to it and he can have his front porch back - Lots of moving bags of mulch and soil. Still need a couple more bags of soil but I think I've got the big plants at the height I need and then figure out the shorties with the extra bags. Hopefully the workouts/outdoor work activities are what is really stalling my weight - been quite sore as this is the most consistent I've been with working out in a long while. Speaking of, just completed an ab/cardio/shoulder circuit with fam for the day and ate my egg sandwich breakfast. Hungry still, but hoping the water and a bit more time will ease that feeling - before I would keep snacking until I was gorged but I've learned to wait for my meal to settle and the signals to my brain to say "satisfied." Grocery haul day -- hoping to come up with some healthy options for me that are filling for lunch.
08/13

Previous Day's Comments08/05 - Well hello there.... 3.5lb jump today? Must be sodium and dehydration. I drank a lot of water but I also moved a lot outside yesterday. It would've been difficult to keep up with my outside activity had I already been fully hydrated so I'm not surprised there. Also curious about scale because for the first time in the 4 yrs I've had it decided to start up in kg mode, not lbs mode. Took me a pretty long while to figure out how to get it back. May need new scale? Been reliable all this time so unsure.
08/06 - Not surprised to be this high still, had a horrible time fighting hunger and dealing with a bit of DOMS. My run yesterday helped quite a bit, I'm sure, from keeping it going higher but definitely left my legs sore this morning. Also probably still some leftover bloat from the ice cream on Tuesday. That much dairy will last several days, even if I don't feel the uneasiness anymore. Likely to be a busy day today for work. Going to try to get in some type of activity today but unsure when or how at this point. Bossman, as sweet as he is, is very long winded and he's scheduling a meeting today to set up my goals (haven't done it yet because COVID and hoped to do in person). Its time for our mid-year performance review and we can't postpone any longer. Not sure when that'll be yet so not sure when I'll have a big enough break between meetings to fit it in. Probably do a walk or yoga to stretch out these sore legs a bit.
08/07] - Seafood gumbo last night and might've (read: absolutely did) overdone it a bit. Went for a nice walk/hike up the "mountain" this morning then walked main street with the kids (their last time for the summer as they leave Sunday morning). Going to a new river tomorrow (they wanted to go to our usual river. We wanted to go tubing down this new river (BF and I haven't gone to yet - wanted to go first time with kids) this summer -- supposed to be super clear water and nice cold to offset the heat) so I'll get some activity with swimming in. No way to tube as they don't do shuttles from pickup point and we haven't bought tubes for the kids yet anyway. Swimming is better exercise than sitting in a tube anyway haha Tamales and enchiladas tonight for the kids going away party with fam and fam's mom is making dairy and gluten free enchiladas so hopefully I won't be all bloated tomorrow. Have reason to take it easy tonight -- bloat shows really well in my swimsuits and I don't need to be focused on looking so fat but having fun with kids before they leave instead
08/08 - DNP
08/09 - Yesterday was alright. The water was super shallow so no real swimming. About 2 hours away so lots of sitting in the truck and sitting in the water. Stopped for Mexican food as we didn't have time to cook before bed so probably still a bit high on sodium. Going to go check out horse races today while BF is gone driving kids back to their mom's. Hopefully there's a nice area for me to walk social distanced while still being able to see. I've never been to a horse race so I want to learn some things! (I will have my mask and hand sanitizer with me)
08/10 - That's some cheesy-bloat. Fam made some Au Gratin for dinner with our steaks (she had never heard of them before and somehow still made them absolutely perfect). Feel a lot lighter and less bloated now that I had lots of water to rid of dehydration but that's long after my weigh-in this AM. As usual, water is expensive at events and had to attempt to make up once I was home which I obviously couldn't quite manage. My new leggings come in today and hoping to get out of the house early enough tomorrow before it gets too hot to try them out and get some activity in. Depending on work today, I'm hoping I can squeeze a walk in so I have some kind of activity.
08/11 - Inching down after a 30 minute yoga workout -- couldn't get my walk in with work. Dinner (ordered out but tried to keep healthy-ish) and (2) movie(s) night with the BF quarantine-style. Movie ended about 45 minutes later than I normally head to bed and then the dog decided to spaz out 45 minutes before my alarm was set to go off. Sitting at 5.5hrs of sleep according to my fitbit. I now have a bad headache and I'm beyond sleepy. My 9am got moved to this afternoon and I'm debating if I should just get ready, go for a run/walk (likely less running than planned due to sleepiness) then come back and nap or just not run at all and catch a nap. I suppose exercise is supposed to help with headaches so I might just do it for the fresh air and potential headache relief without meds.

I love the bullet journal! That’s such a cool visual you drew too!
Thank you! I started with that visual and it led to a number of others to monitor breakdown of my exercise goals this month. Then I started more pages ... and it is kind of fun seeing the visuals (like champagne glass coloring in bubbles ... counting the actual number of alcoholic drinks I consume for the month, Hydrate to keep up with the number of cups of water, gardening, learning Spanish, etc.

@kecward78 You’re right. Your mom’s and your health are more important. There were really only two reasons I wanted the PF Black card - a red light therapy booth which I never got a chance to use and a pair of leg machines I had fallen in love with when we went regularly to one of the rec center gyms we used to use. It turns out that those machines might have helped with whatever is going on with my leg. PT has me using those muscles isometrically. I’m thinking about going back just to use those.1

@CamandJarvis Someone on this thread used to talk about TRX. It intrigues me. When we moved into this house we gave my treadmill to our daughter - I believe it’s being used as a clothing depository in her bedroom. LOL My Pilates machine is folded in the back of a closet and needs new cords due to age and one of the shoulder stops disappeared during moving!1

Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 - 322.4 - I always put some back on after an *eat* day. Usually much more than this. Hopefully, this is a good sign for a good loss this round. Instead of driving to a couple of local shops, I walked this morning. Wearing minimalist shoes has shortened my stride and I'm not having any knee trouble now, which is another really good thing.
08/06 - 319.7 - Surprised and fairly happy. But also concerned because I mayb be dropping a little too fast. I may have to institute my *slow down the weight loss* plan if I keep going too fast.
08/07 - 319.7 - OK. I NEVER stay the same after a day of eating. I ALWAYS go up 2-4 lbs. As much as I like staying under 320, I'll be keeping a very close eye on how much I drop in the next 18 hours. Two side notes to today: 1) I FINALLY got a job. After taking a year off after leaving my past position, I've had a helluva hard time finding work... especially because of Covid19. And 2) I am an emotional eater. And I was on a huge high after getting word about the job. Which normally means FOOD! And I was able to keep myself from indulging my mood by eating.
08/08 - 316.6 - Monstrous drop. Hormones? Less cortisol from the good news, yesterday? I'm dropping fast, again. I made the decision to change from a 4:3 alt. day intermittent fast plan to a 5:2 plan. I was fasting Mon., Wed., and Fridays. I started my journedy in mid-November 2019 and, if I get under 300 before Nov. 2020, made the decision to slow down my losses. I want to try and stick to a 2 lb./week loss, so getting udner 300 before November would be exceeding that rate. Honestly, it's exciting to FINALLY find a way to drop weight safely and quickly, but my male ego won't permit too much skin sag, so I want to slow it down. Now, one of the byproducts of AD IF is the eating of fat, dead or damaged cell, excess skin, etc. So, there may be times where I'll add in a 3 or 4 day waterfast each quarter, or so. I want to be one of those older people that can prove that a steady weight drop w/ IF can help mitigate excess skin sag.
08/09 - 319.6 - I expected the uptick. Still under 320, though!
08/10 - 320.3 - Always up after a weekend of eating, but still down 3.7 lbs. for the week and 8.7 lbs. over 2 weeks. I think I'll be dropping my gym membership @ Planet Fitness. The gym was closed Saturday morning w/out explanation which makes me nervous. Plus, not all the people are being as safe as they should. I just got hired for a job and the last thing I need is to be out for 2+ weeks with Covid. I did make a soup that turned out more like a stew, but with a broth vs. a gravy. Chicken and sage sausage w/ lentils. Last weeks attempt was a bit bland tasting, so I upped the seasoning. I like it, but Mom said it had too much seasong. So, I guess I've got about 10 qts. of pressure cooker soup/stew to myself.
08/11 - 318.3 - And back on the downswing. That's 2.6 down from 1 week ago. One of things I've always hated about the East Coast is humidity in the summer. I was going to walk this morning, but 96% humidity put the kibosh on that. I'll drag my butt into the kitchen later to make keto bread. I've seen enough recipes that I think I can do it. Not really into keto, but extra processed carb calories are a no-no.
08/12 - 319.7 - Up from yesterday, after an eating day, but down 2.7 from last week, so still on track. Got up @ 5AM to go to a lab for drug testing. If you don't get there EARLY, you could sit for hours. They had the option of appointments, but non until next week. Plus, they couldn't send me to a local lab (5 options), they had to send me 30 minutes away. But ya gotta do what they want, else no job.

8/5: 233.4 (0.0)/20.0 (0.0). I had some leftovers for dinner from the in-laws' visit on Monday; while delicious, it is NOT healthy food, nor does it fit within my current plan. I informed the wife I would not be partaking in any more leftovers this week. I feel right now like I extended my weekend unnecessarily, and I'm a little bit pi$$ed about it. I'm going to take that energy and get myself back on track. I felt an urge not to post yesterday (final day of previous round), because I was disappointed in myself (mostly my scale reading, I guess). I'm sticking with this, though. And sticking with it means weighing in and posting every day that it's feasible.
8/6: 230.8 (-2.6)/19.7 (-0.3). Apparently "mad" is still working alright for me. I was completely back on-plan yesterday; this weigh-in seems a little extreme, but I also think I got 9 hours of sleep last night (which I needed, I think). I'm going to continue to kick butt this week with my nutrition, and I'm already starting to plan what's happening for the weekend. My wife wants to play pool on Friday, which is fine... but she also wants to drink. "If" I drink, it will be only one, but I'm leaning toward no alcohol this weekend. We are also planning on going on a hike with some of her family on Saturday. Exercise. It's been a while. Overall, I'm feeling pretty good today. I'll take it.
8/7: 230.8 (0.0)/19.7 (0.0). I suppose I should be happy being at this weight two days in a row, so I will be! I had an extra protein shake last night when I got hungry; it may have put me "over" in calories, but it was a MUCH better choice than I make when I am not actively taking care of myself. I take that a sign that I am actively taking care of myself. I'm in the office today (I would normally be at home), and I'm going to try to be productive. I'm not sure about the hike on Saturday, but I will get in some "lifting" (not the same as the gym... I wish it were) and cardio (both) at some point over the weekend. I really need to get exercise back into my life. I'm going to play some pool tonight with my wife outside; she wants to drink old-fashioneds (I learned how to make them last week), and I will limit myself to no more than two! There should be no other drinking over the weekend.
8/8: 229.4 (-1.4)/19.5 (-0.2). These numbers may be artificially lower (at least slightly) than they should be, but not by much (weighed in about an hour and a half later than usual). It doesn't really matter, though. I know I'm doing what I need to do. I still haven't worked out, but my goal was to lift once this weekend, and do some cardio once. I'm about to head outside to lift some weights. I'm interested to see how my body is going to feel after; it's been a long time. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend may be coming over tonight. If that happens, I will plan things out as best I can, to minimize any possible damage. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
8/9: 230.2 (+0.8)/19.6 (+0.1). We ended up going to my in-laws' last night for carne asada, and I was pretty good with my food. My brother-in-law made some strange watermelon/chamoy margaritas that were FANTASTIC. I indulged. The brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over tonight. We are going to order in some HEALTHY FOOD that fits within my plan, because I want to continue to minimize the effect(s) that the weekend is going to have on me. I did not get a chance to work out yesterday, and it's not going to happen today, either. At least I'm THINKING about it (an important first step!). I'm still very much on-track to meet my goal for the round. If I can keep it within reason today, I should be golden.
8/10: 231.4 (+1.2)/19.8 (+0.2). My brother-in-law and his girlfriend came over last night, and brought sushi. I think I kept it under control for the most part (one old-fashioned), but I'm still not liking my numbers this morning. The good news? I actually lifted weights yesterday for the first time in months. It's not the same as the gym, but it's SO MUCH more than nothing. It felt good, and I'm going to commit to alternating weight lifting with my rowing machine until I can't stand it anymore. We'll see how it goes. I'm also happy that I have four non-weekend days to hit my sub-230 goal.
8/11: 230.8 (-0.6)/19.7 (-0.1). Can I just say how much I love TrendWeight (the graph at the bottom of my posts)? I try to keep track of my weight on a per challenge basis, with total weight and body fat % lost, and averages of both for the 10-day period. It works out pretty well, but it's still a snapshot of what's happened over a 10-day period, and it really does not capture the gist of what's really happening at any moment. Enter TrendWeight (or any other graph people are using). I was inspired by COVID-19, really... those 10-day rolling averages anything COVID-19 related. With this tool, I know EVERY DAY if I'm still "headed in the right direction." My weight goes up and down regularly (mostly predictably, if I'm being honest with myself), but based on my graph (which is based, I believe, on the 10-day rolling average), my hard work is paying off. Just FYI, I know no one at TrendWeight, and I have no financial ties to it, or anyone from it.
8/12: 230.6 (-0.2)/19.7 (0.0). I had a great dinner last night: super-healthy, totally fit within my plan. But my wife wanted a glass of wine, and she prefers not to drink alone. I succumbed. Alcohol seems like it has been a HUGE contributor any time my weight is not moving in the right direction, and it make sense. I limited it to one glass of wine yesterday, but I don't even WANT to drink right now. I would much rather have consistent success right now, and to feel motivated EVERY day. I told her afterwards that I need to take a break from drinking. She can do what she wants, but I am going to need her to respect that I am not in the same place that she is. If I want to have a drink, that's fine. But I can't give in to peer pressure. I have not exercised since two days ago. I am going to try my best to lift weights tonight after work.

49 year old hoping to hit my personal goal weight by 50th birthday (11 months).
I am so happy to have stumbled on this board. This is exactly what I need. Like minded people to help keep me accountable, 10 days at a time.
Ultimately, I'd like to lose 11.2 pounds from what I weighed this morning. I realize that there are only a few days left in this round, but I am too excited to wait so here I am.

08/06 162.2 Yesterday I didn't have a lot of water, and I went overboard with the carbs. I also brought my scale downstairs. Who knows. Weight training today.
08/07 DNW - I got my bike ride in and will be food prepping. I need to plan to drink a lot of water today. My workout from yesterday got rescheduled to tomorrow. Yesterday I started to plan for the new school year. The stress of it started overwhelming me so I need to be careful that I don't emotionally eat. I have to manage the stress productively.

08/05 - 65.8kg - Didn't meet eating goals, but did get a lot of work done.
08/06 - 66.6kg - Binged yesterday and saw the effects on the scale today. Didn't snack at all today though and got a 60-minute workout in!
08/07 - 66.6kg - Whoops, looks like it got stuck. Worked out outside early in the morning; it made the whole day a thousand times better.
08/08 - 66.6kg - Not quite sure why it's so high, maybe water retention? Continuing to avoid snacking.
08/09 - 66.2kg - aha! Trending down:) IF back on and going well.
08/10 - 65.8kg - Another morning workout + trying to stay hydrated in this crazy heat!
08/11 - 66.5kg - Those constant fluctuations are testing my motivation but I got a really good workout in today. Still successfully avoiding snacking between meals.
08/12 - 66.1kg - Today was a good day: lots of walking, a 30-minute workout, 2+ litres of water. Dinner was a bit late but hopefully the long walk with the dog right after helps me burn those calories.

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion......Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! hurt! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳🏖🎡⛱🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
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.
August focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
Never give up! Never give in!- 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
Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 122
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

08/05 206.8 Yesterday 13213 steps and 1530 calories. Found a new aerobic you tube video that I liked. High intensity I loved it!
08/06 206.9 Yesterday 12958 steps 1292 calories lunch walk afternoon intervals (walk run walk run) Doesn’t seem to be enough…I am not upset by the slight incline. What I burn in calories, is slowing down. I have to push myself harder. In some ways it is a good thing because it means I am healthier but I have to start using more strength training because walking isn’t doing it anymore…I have some 5lb dumbbells at home…
08/07 206.7 Yesterday 15179 steps 1921 calories went overboard on some fries. Stressful day yesterday, Hunger found me. My heart was working overboard due to stress not exercise. I did get in some good walking and exercise.
08/08 207.7 Yesterday 13820 steps lunch and evening walk 1407 calories a little fatty with some meatballs but nothing too bad. I think it is still stress. I am trying to budget my life.
08/09 208.2 This is going the wrong direction. I did get a 40 minute walk in last night and my son kept me running. 1484 in calories 10845 steps but generally not a very active day too much sitting around this weekend. (plus my sister picked up the scale and shook it ) Cringe! I think it’s off…
08/10 208.4 9559 steps 1609 steps and discouragement is making its way into my bones. I did get a 40 minutes aerobics but I am losing this fight…Today will be better…
08/11 206.5 That’s what I am talking about! 1524 calories 11764 steps lunch and evening walk. So hot this summer I want to go swimming. My scale has settled back down.
08/12 Birthday! 206.1 did get some walking today with my new fitbit! Thank you sis...I indulged earlier in the day but had a lightly dressed turkey cutlet salad. My indulgence was bacon and egg sandwich, shrimp street tacos, tequila and mini cupcakes. All and all not bad but my birthday keeps going until September...

I'm really needing some accountability. Lost more than 25lbs, and fast-forward through a couple of car accidents, and quitting exercising, I find that I'm more than uncomfortable in my clothes! (And gained 25 back) I know I'm joining mid-way, so hopefully, will be in fully, next round. I need some butt-kicking...
Round 122
SW: 8/9 139lbs Goal: 115 Goal: Walking 20 mins daily (done)
8/10 137.4lbs Walking 20 mins (done) Weight fluctuation due to absence of junk food? Water weight?
8/11 136.6 Walking (Leslie Sansone 'Walk off fat fast') 15 mins (my butt was kicked at 15 mins!) My weekend of wild and wanton eating must have skewed my SW. I'm okay with that, because the way my clothes have been fitting, thought I was easily 10lbs heavier!

08/09 179.6 yay! Came back a pound lighter. Ate smart (lots of veggies, thinking through my meals the night before), yet still enjoyed myself (campfire popcorn!). Lots of exercise, yet not excessive.
08/10 179.2 😁 Back to my beat weight this year. Ate well for a Sunday and the results show. I may even get a little more sodium drop in the next day or so because I think I ate a lot more salt while camping than I normally do. Now back to work!
08/11 179.2 feel like I don’t deserve it as I suddenly binged an entire Lindt chocolate bar last night, but I’ll take it. And stay on track today.
08/12 181.6 This is what self-sabotage looks like. Sigh. Think I’m back on track now but will probably continue to pay for a few days.
