Round #122 < 3.8lbs
SW: 139lbs GW: 115lbs
I've done this before, successfully; I know that it can be done. My challenge is ignoring a hurting body, and/or not getting up and moving-because *that* is more comfortable. I want ME back. Oh, and I also signed up for a virtual 5k today (to be completed in Sept) and I'm doing a *live* 5k in Dec. If I don't want to be thoroughly embarrassed, guess I'd better move my bum!

Surprised by the big drop in weight today. Had a little bit of the munchies today, but did ok.
Goals for these 10 days: no after dinner snacking, early to bed, strength training at least twice a week.

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.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 123 (round 55 for me ) I'm in for another round (as always!) – I need to just keep going! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Goal for this round – Bathroom being refurbished and is almost finished before they move on to the downstairs cloakroom. Miles are more of a challenge to achieve whilst the workmen are here, but I'm trying to get an hour or so in before they arrive and then some in the evening around commitments with MIL care. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep the 10 days binge free again!End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/15 131.8 wow !! Got on the scales 3 times to check, a new low this year. 5.66 miles walked yesterday, 100 calories in credit, all macros in green.
08/16 131.8 – happy this stuck. 4.55 miles walked yesterday, took 2 year old DGS out for the day, hence reduced mileage. 57 calories & 4g carbs over.
08/17 132.2 – happy with that considering walking mileage is really down with one thing and another. Walked only 2.31 miles yesterday; in fact didn't actually get out to walk, that was cleaning and pottering in the house and garden !! 249 calories in credit, 13g carbs over.
DGS still doing well, on 4 hourly obs now instead of hourly, pain relief IV & catheter removed – all looking positive.
08/18 132.2 - 7.14 miles walked yesterday, 642 calories in credit, all other macros in green.
08/19 131.8 - 7.08 miles walked yesterday, 352 calories in credit, 29g carbs over.
08/20 131.8 – no walking yesterday, sat at MIL whilst boiler replaced & then continual rain throughout the day, hence 171 calories, 79g carbs & 1g fat over . Lucky to retain number !
08/21 131.2 – wow ! Another new low not just for this year but since June last year!! 12.14 miles walked yesterday, 318 calories in credit, 25g fat over.
08/22 131.2 – 7.86 miles walked yesterday, 443 calories in credit.
08/23 132 - Took 2.5 year old DGS out yesterday so mileage was restricted to his activity; following him round on his balance bike, helping him climb over logs, fallen trees etc. but precious time with him. His baby brother still doing well & expected to be discharged from hospital before the end of the week.
08/24 132.4 – 9.63 miles walked yesterday. 587 calories in credit & all macros in green. A little disappointed that the round end number has gone back up, but that's the way it is!! 0.8 pounds loss for the 10 days. Pleased how I've stayed sensible this round – no binging but not felt deprived, a good healthy lifestyle which is what I'm striving for. See you all in the next round.
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

8/15 dnw
8/16 197.6 lots of salt Friday night and Saturday. Also extra desserts both nights too. Back to the grind
8/17 197.8 started the day strong with a good workout. Still had a lot of salt yesterday, and too many sweets, but weekdays are better for me to control anyway.
8/18 198.2 meh. Yesterday was so so. Above my calorie goal, extra sodium that's making me puffy. Need to drink more water today.
8/19 198.2 I drank a bit more water yesterday, which was great. I'm aimimg for 2 days of activity followed by 1 rest day, so yesterday was off. That said, I wish I got more steps in. Will be making today a great day!
8/20 197.9 good workout yesterday, got some additional activity in after dinner with the kids outside. Good day overall.
8/21 196.9 I'm satisfied to be almost back where I started. Exceeded my step goal, great workout. Ate fairly well too. Going to finish strong.
8/22 197.0 not bad for no official workout yesterday and a meal out. This weekend will be a mixed bag for sure, so im going to have to balance out what will be high sodim with lots of water and other low salt options.
8/23 197.3 ⬆️ lots of salt, just like I said. Feeling sore today, did some standing pilates which I might feel tomorrow! Good food choices all day.
8/24 197.1 I guess this is how round 123 ends with 0.5 lb loss. All in all, this is progress. I am starting to tweak more of my goals since I'm not aiming for fast results, just solid habits to last forever. See you all next round!6 -
5'4" and my start date to a healthier life was 160.2 lbs in October 2019.

Goal of round 123: -1.0 lb
My weight loss is slowing since I am within 10 lbs of ultimate goal weight of 120 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
08/15: 130.0 lbs -I have officially lost 30 lbs in 10 months! Dinner is calorie dense tonight, but this morning is my long run and my early eating is on par to keep me at calorie goal. Fingers crossed I only go up about .2 lbs 
08/16: 130.6 lbs - I knew I would be up a little from dinner. already pre-planned Mon-Wed to ensure I'm back on track. And I have a make-up run tonight.
08/17: 131.8 lbs - not sure why the fluctuate up is so high... just need to be better
08/18: 130.8 lbs - stayed on track with eating and had a really good strength workout and run
08/19: 130.4 lbs - slightly distracted lower strength workout and shorter run last night. Today is a longer run only. Slowly trending down.
08/20: 131.0 lbs - this one is a mystery since I ate just below calories. Body must be repairing with how sore my hamstrings are from Tues strength workout
08/21: 131.4 lbs - another mystery as I was 20 calories below last night. It was an upper strength workout though. Body must be retaining the water, TOM coming, or a mix of the two
08/22: 131.0 lbs - Nice to see the scale go down instead of up. Rain had other ideas for my run last night. I had a mini binge (2 handfuls of peanuts and dove chocolates) so I'm shocked happily surprised to see a .4 loss
08/23: 130.2 lbs - probably not going to lose the 1 lb this 10 day challenge
08/24: 131.0 lbs - fluctuation dance. Got the 1 lb goal - it was just gained instead of lost7 -

08/15 185.2 had a fun day with the kids and it shows a little. Made sure to choose a salad for lunch but had a couple of treats.
08/16 184.2 kind of surprised by this since we hosted some friends last night. Did shoulder strength workout
08/17 183.6 kindof surprised by this goal is to make it last and not jump back up
08/18 183.4 completed strength workout and was mostly good with eating. Passed on ice cream with the kids
08/19 185.2 no clue what happened here
08/20 184.6 coming back down, didn’t do great had an emotional day and that was reflected in my eating
08/21 184.8 did strength work out, did not fully track meals
08/22 184.8 holding steady here right now but my tracking has not been happening well
08/23 184.4 moving back in the right direction slowly
08/24 did arms strength work out and started to test my knee a tiny bit. Had a good day eating wise with the exception of ice cream with the fam. Glad I ended the round with zero gains even though I was hoping for at least a small loss.

R123: Continue checking in daily! “Success is the sum of small efforts repeated daily … day in day out” - Robert Collier.
🎯Mini Goal: get out & stay out of the 30s
10 weeks till 60th birthday 💖
5 months till next physical
08/15 - 235 - Ready for 2nd round of being back on track and checking in daily! Don’t worry about the little bump up on the scale.
08/16 - 234.5 - My son lost 80 lbs and his wife 50 since February. We had dinner at their house last night. Never thought I would eat cheesecake and take more pieces home on a diet. My first time trying Keto and finding it hard to mentally adjust monitoring low carbs instead of low fat.
08/17 - 234.4 - My weekly weigh in on Monday! Down 4 lbs from last week. Calories have been high over the weekend though I’m on target for the net carbs. Need to work on getting my total calorie intake lower.
08/18 - 233.4 - 2 weeks alcohol free which is a big accomplishment for me
08/19 - 233.4 - Ready for a new day and repeat yesterday's calorie and carb success! Need to figure out how/when to get more exercise today. I only made it 1 mile this morning and our dog got sick. Then had to take the car in for a recall. Soooooo No excuses! I just need to do it … heat or no heat! Went through the pantry and tossed everything that is not friendly LOL. We don't need that battle when trying to select meals or snacks!
08/20 - 233.5 - Goal today is to plan meals for the next week and shop for those groceries!
08/21 - 232.4 - If I slip up once and jump back into good habits the next hour instead of next day or waiting till Monday I won’t be out of control all weekend. Telling myself wouldn’t it be great to wake up Monday morning knowing I was in control all weekend! Note to Self: It’s worth it. Just do it!
08/22 - 232 - I took yesterday off from exercising and just relaxed. But I did talk DH into a 1 mile stroll with the dog after dinner … beautiful evening. Today I’ll be back to my morning 3 mile walk + biking on my recumbent inside.
08/23 - 231.5 Nice seeing a drop though it might be because I slept in. Walked 4.5 miles yesterday but then no bike because we went to help my sister with her internet. Then birthday dinner celebration for my SIL. Made a low carb low sugar blackberry cobbler … DH & I used Keto ice cream and served Bluebell to our SIL.
08/24 - 231.4 - Down 3.4 lbs this round! Making progress getting back to my 15 lbs lost that I reached in 2019 … I’ll be glad when I quit working on pounds I’ve gained and lost and start working on a new low!

08/15 DNW. Camping this weekend. I haven't done a horrible job but I've definitely had a few things I wouldn't normally while trying to lose weight. It's ok, lake calories dont count 😁
08/16 198.8 That's ok! I knew it would go up a little, I'm just happy I'm still in Onederland. Back at it today. Happy sunday!
08/17 197.8 Down a little I got a compliment yesterday about losing weight. I'm going to use that as fuel to keep going! Happy Monday, hope you all have a great week!
08/18 196.6 Today is my sons birthday! We always let them pick what they would like for dinner on their birthdays and he chose my favorite barbeque restaurant. I plan to make good choices, but it's going to be hard!
08/19 196.2 I was able to stay under my calorie goal yesterday. I didn't get in enough water so my goal today is make sure I do. I have a long drive this morning, so I see many pit stops in my future 😄 Happy hump day!
08/20 196.2 Did good on water yesterday. Hope you all have a great day!
08/21 195.8 I feel like I should probably start exercising soon. I was waiting because I have knee and back problems and was hoping that if I got some weight off it would help ease the pain a little. I'm almost down 20 lbs and still in pain so now I'm hoping that exercise will help. I'm not sure. I'll just start slow. Slow and steady wins the race, right?!
08/22 196.8 T.O.M showed up this morning. Totally unexpected too. I'm hoping that the 1 pound jump is just from that and it'll be gone as quick as it showed up! Have a great weekend!
08/23 196.6 I didnt do great yesterday on water intake and my food was packed full of carbs all day. We were on the run all day and most of my food was fast food. I was over on calories by 70. I'm not beating myself up though, just going to make better choices today 🤷♀️
08/24 195.6 My lowest weight during the challenge! I didnt make my goal weight for this round but that's ok. T.O.M may have messed it up a little. I'm still happy with my progress and not letting the little things get to me. Good luck un the next round!

I've no idea why i put a pound back on again. I walked 10,000 steps on Saturday, though hardly any yesterday.
I kept within my calories without eating any exercise calories at all.
But my scales show a lower body fat percentage compared to Saturday so that's a good sign.
I hope to do better on the next round as I'd like to be losing a pound a week.

08/24 - 153.9 - Surprised and very very happy. I was thinking I wouldn't meet goal but I didn't realize I'd have this big of a drop and hit so close to goal. Didn't get a ton of movement but got outside and chased kids around a bit with Fam. Also didn't have a ton to eat, skipped dinner due to being so full from a real late lunch (Linner?) and breakfast was small, but I was quite satiated. Must've been the water keeping me feeling full and happy.
Previous Day's Comments08/15 - Holy DOMS am I sore! I nearly fell out of bed and then I had to use to disabled bar things by my toilet to be able to get down to it without collapsing or crying from soreness. I suppose today is my rest day and I'll be doing some stretching. Didn't hit my step goal yesterday but my legs huuuurt and I gave myself some grace. Goal will be to hit my steps and move some of this soreness out of my system today.
08/16 - I really have no idea where this came from. I had a very small breakfast, a few bites of a charcuterie board fam threw together, and 2 small ribs with some cooked spinach. And a crunch bar for lunch because it was that or nothing and I was getting nauseous. Probably not enough water but couldn't keep up - working outside in a heat advisory. Still drank a lot more water than I normally would if I were inside during the day. DOMS are still around pretty bad so working on that today again.
08/16 - Working my way down now. Went swimming to beat the heat yesterday and tried to actually do something to raise my heart rate a little while I was in the pool. Not a huge place, especially with the kids splashing around and having fun, but underwater swimming helped me with that a bit. Had to go get bloodwork and urine test for my appt on Wednesday with the VA and boy am I hungry now. Going to try a yoga workout later today once I get some food and more water in me to make up for it. Not a lot of blood, but enough I don't want to overdo it. Goal is to meet step goal again. Last few days, I've barely made it to my 7225 goal but today I'm going for 8000 steps. Legs still quite sore from leg day on Friday and I need to get that worked out anyway, a nice walk should help.
08/17 - I don't know... I really don't know. I wasn't as active yesterday because work got really crazy. Food wasn't terrible -- I had a grilled chicken caesar salad for lunch and a small bit of leftovers for dinner. Could've drank more water but even that wasn't horrible. I'm still a little sore but nothing like the previous days so that's dropping off. Whyyyyy, body, are you torturing me? Guess that's the motivation I really need to go work out this morning, even though I was debating not doing it because I'm tired. Wake up call, much?
08/18 - So confused with my body... Not sure where this came from. I figured after dinner (I made my favorite meal from home) I had gained or at least maintained my higher weight. So confused. Ran with the pup yesterday morning (with walking warmup, cooldown, and a short break we went 0.71mi) then I took her for a nice walk after dinner to reach my step goal. Today I think Fam is doing arms this morning so I'm going to join her if I can hurry up and wake up enough to function.
08/19 - Not holding my breath on that one. Fasted until about 130 and ate out in San Antonio (had to drive fam there to pick up jeep parts so she can be mobile. Dinner may not be much, if anything at all, because of how filling the food was and how late lunch was. No workout today due to an early start getting to San A in time for a WebEx meeting (not ideal to have a video call while being tossed around on construction roads haha!) Definitely in need of water the rest of the day and hopefully it'll keep me satiated enough through dinner so I don't overdo it if I do end up eating.
08/20
08/21 - I did not expect that, especially feeling as heavy as I do right now. I didn't drink anything but water from the time of posting until I went to bed. I did have a tiny slice of pizza (it took 2 of my normal bite sizes to finish it off) I wasn't hungry for much else, honestly. Doing yoga at about 9 with Fam so I may go for a nice walk around the neighborhood after I replenish my lifeblood (drink my coffee) before walking over to hers. As long as everyone's work stays calm enough, we all plan to (safely) walk mainstreet before too many tourists arrive for the weekend.
08/22 - DNP
08/23 - It is okie-dokie, I knew that was coming. Yesterday was a weird day for me -- forgot to weigh, ignored my water bottle even though I was thirsty for some reason. I think I got so sick of the taste of plain water I couldn't bring myself to it but I'm back to drinking it this am. Was outside and sweating like crazy with no source of water in the afternoon and couldn't catch up once home. Today should be calm and I'll be focusing on water intake and light meals. Hopefully it'll drop back down tomorrow if I'm diligent. I might try for a walk once my fitbit is charged and no plans come up.

My weekly trip into the Uni today. It is nice to go out and see other people, even if we have to stay distanced. It is built on a hill, so I also did eleventy billion steps.

Round 123 SW: 182.5 (on 8/14/20)
08/15 – 183.0 – My husband and I had a day off from our food tracking and got take-out lunch. The rest of the day we weren’t very hungry, so half a pound doesn’t seem too bad.
08/16 – 183.0 – Staying stable. It looks like 183 is my current weight “speed bump.” I just need to be diligent to be able to make it over the speed bump and back down.
08/17 – 182.7 – Trying to be gentler on myself and make sure I’m not treating this as a race to the finish line. Consistent, reasonable effort is all that in needed.
08/18 – 181.9 – I have a huge work project keeping me at my desk more this week, so there is less exercise, but I’m still be diligent about logging my food.
08/19 - 181.1 – Looks like a gentler approach is helping this week. Just letting my body guide the way
08/20 – 181.5 – A little bump, but I’m still feeling really positive about this Round!
08/21 -182.0 – And here the roller coaster goes again. I’m feeling a little bloated, so probably water retention.
08/22 – 182.1 – Well, this is discouraging. Not sure what’s going here, but I’ll keep hanging in there.
08/23 – 181.9 – Just trying to be a little tighter on my calorie window and my logging to try to push under 182 for good
08/24 – 182.3 – Really? Seriously? Only .2 lbs lost in 10 days? Eating at a deficit the entire time? How discouraging. I feel like when I am super-productive in one area of my life (this week I got SO much done for work), then other areas on my life seem to suffer. I need to get back on the ball if I am going to keep making progress toward my goal.

Round 123
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
08/15: 207.4
08/16: 207.8 / The last couple days are pop-ups from the last day of last round. I can’t imagine why. :-p What is so bad about two days in a row with big messy cheese burgers for lunch. Friday’s was at a high-end gourmet restaurant for a work meeting. Saturday’s was at a local yocal dive after a morning of fishing with a friend. Both were delicious. Then last night, dinner out with some friends. I guess I should be happy I am only this heavy.
Glad to be back at it again this round.
08/17: 207.2 / I would call this a victory. For the weekend, not bad.
08/18: 207.8 / Anniversary today! 41 years with DW! For some of you, yes that means I am old enough to be your father. But, not too old to keep learning. Dinner out today will probably make some waves tomorrow on the ten-day chart.
BTW, with four days in a row with an identical third digit (7) I feel out of place. I jump around so much this never happens. Strangely, my last two ten-day averages have that same digit.
08/19: 206.6 / Ok, I like this “wave.” We went out for lunch yesterday instead of out for the evening meal. Made a good choice or two. Had a short bike ride to pick up our CSA (we have one too @kblanc14 !) and a walk around the block at dusk.
08/20: 205.4 / It’s low tide. High tide is coming, but maybe not as high. I am trying to get low tide lower and high tide lower.
08/21: 207.8 / H2O
08/22: 207.8 / lucky 7
08/23: 207.6 / I think my bod is trying to tell me it likes 207. My mind doesn’t mind it either as a place to hover. But, it is too close to 210 and I want to maintain just a hair lower than this. In fact as stated above, I want to touch 199, just to say I did.
I am thinking that a realistic maintenance goal for me needs to be a seven to ten pound range, but no greater than 210.
NSV: XL shirts look way too baggy on me now. I just purchased a few new shirts for work, size L.
08/24: 208.0 / Yesterday was a decent day calorie-wise. Lots of salt due to house guests and special menu items. I smoked some “country style” ribs yesterday. Can’t eat just one.
I did meet (meat) my goal this time, by a fraction. I need to be good the next four days because we have a little getaway planned for the next weekend.

Previous days08/15 DNW, came back from vacation today.
08/16 116.4 I’ll take it considering before vacation I was holding water from TOM and weighing in at 116.8. Food during vacation was pretty solid and I wasn’t too indulgent, but I also didn’t say no to anything. We ate out twice by the end of it, which wasn’t too bad. I feel good and got in a spin bike workout for the day! Have a good Sunday everyone!
08/17 116.4 It’s been a whirlwind of a day playing catch up at work after being gone for a week! Food was solid yesterday and today has been on point as well. We did a good soccer workout this morning and planning to go for a walk tomorrow morning! My brain is a little mushy at this point in the day and all I can think to say is that it’s CSA day today and I’m excited for that in a couple hours! Have a good night everyone!
08/18 116.2 We went for a really good 6ish mile walk this morning. I’m on my own tomorrow for my higher intensity workout, so I’m planning a yard workout incorporating jump rope, burpees, some soccer drills, body weight exercises like push-ups and lunges, mountain climbers and all sorts of fun stuff.
The CSA pick up was full of greens last night along with a zucchini, a pepper, heirloom cherry tomatoes, and purple radishes. Then for fruit we got a dozen donut peaches, two watermelon, a cantaloupe, and honeydew. I felt like I hit the jackpot for fruit!
Dinner was a little salty last night because I made a Thai style greens recipe which had a bunch of stems chopped up small from swiss chard, spigariello, Ethiopian kale, and one other green’s stems I think. Then, I added shredded collard greens. The sauce used coconut oil, coconut milk, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, chilies, lime juice and I added some tamari because I didn’t want to use as much fish sauce as the recipe called for. I thought it came out pretty good, my husband tolerated it lol (he doesn’t care for cooked greens) so he ate 25% of it and I ate the other 75% of it. For protein I scrambled some hamburger and we topped it with siracha. I think we’re having roasted chicken for dinner tonight with potatoes and beets!
08/19 115.2 Started my day with a HIIT/soccer style workout and torched at least 400ish calories. Last night’s dinner was grilled chicken leg quarters with roasted beets and sweet potatoes. Yumm! Today’s breakfast will be a large amount of honeydew melon, cantaloupe, maybe a peach, and the last granola bar (calorie dense bar I made for hiking coming in at 400 kcals) that I made for our trip last week. My snack will be oatmeal with peaches and dinner will be mushroom and spinach ravioli with salad and heirloom cherry tomatoes.
Enjoy your day!
08/20 115.6 Went for a 6ish mile walk this morning. Realized that my hips are really tight from my workout yesterday and need to stretch later today. We ended up getting Chipotle takeout for dinner last night but I was a lot more conscious of what I ordered last night and didn’t completely decimate myself with sodium. I also trimmed off about 200 calories by planning it out with their nutrition calculator. I clocked in at like 700ish calories instead of the 900-1,000 calorie bowl I got last time. So I consider that a bit of a win for me. I’m not sure what is on the agenda tonight for dinner but I’m looking forward to having yogurt, fruit, and granola for breakfast! It’s so crazy that after a week or so of not having yogurt, I was actually craving it. Luckily we got a food order this morning, so I have some waiting for me in the fridge now 😊.
08/21 115.4 We did a nice soccer workout this morning. Food was solid yesterday. It will be my typical yogurt and granola for breakfast and I’m thinking maybe tacos for dinner or a meat sauce with ravioli for dinner tonight. I’m not too sure about it all. Have a good day and happy Friday!
08/22 115.4 My husband and I went for a quick walk this morning (almost a mile and a half), then when we got home I jumped on the spin bike for a half hour class via Youtube. I continued riding for another 20 minutes afterwards at a slower pace while watching a Netflix show.
I finally got my “proof of Canadian citizenship application” paperwork completed and got that in the mail. It’s taken months to gather all the documents and find the time to fill everything out/make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything. So, that feels great to have it done! My dad is a Canadian citizen and hopefully I’m able to officially get mine. (He moved down here from New Brunswick in the 60’s.) I’m submitting the application to give us another option if any sort of opportunities pop up. The rest of today will be a lazy one. Later tonight we’re getting Thai takeout with my inlaws and playing a few games before my mother in law goes in for surgery this coming Tuesday. For Thai food, I plan on getting a ginger chicken dish with lots of veggies and a little bit of rice. Have a good rest of the day!
08/23 117.2 Hello salt from Thai food. The crazy part is that it didn’t even taste that salty. I’ll be curious to see what happens tomorrow. I ended up having a 1 ½ -1 ¾ cups of brown rice (was planning less but I wanted more) to go along with the chicken and veggies. Today, I plan on eating a lot of melon because we have a lot left from our CSA, and tomorrow we get more produce. Luckily, we don’t have too much left for veggies. So… it will be more melon, yogurt, and granola for breakfast. Dinner will be thin crust pizza with tomato, basil, eggplant, bell pepper, and fresh mozzarella. I might try grilling it because it’s one of those premade crusts that are shelf-stable, so it should be sturdy enough for the grill. [/spoiler]
08/24 116.4 Went for a 7 mile walk this morning. Yesterday was a very lazy for us. I Was just plain tired and didn’t want to do anything. The only productive thing I did was do our dishes. The very lazy day was needed and I’ll just throw a load of laundry in today. Food was pretty good yesterday too. I ate lots of melon and even got to the point where I didn’t even want to think about watermelon for a bit lol. I need to freeze the rest into cube for smoothies or something because we still have a decent amount left and are probably getting more today. Dinner last night ended up being leftover tacos which worked better calorie wise for me too! It was a win win just having to heat something up instead of full on making something. It also helped me use up some leftover roasted sweet potatoes that I put on top of it. Dinner tonight will be the pizza mentioned above 😊. That’s it for my ramblings, have a happy Monday!
Maintained for this round with lots of ups and down with water weight. On to the next round!

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:
2020 Focus:Never give up! Never give in!- 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
Recent Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 123
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.

8/15 - 182.8 - 1702 ☹️ - night time popcorn and ice cream ☹️
How did I get into this nighttime snacking habit? Aaaack! My ideal this round is no snacks after dinner; my primary goal is, if I must snack, make it one serving of air-popped popcorn. That would still cut calories and I can work on the popcorn monster later. One habit at a time, right?
8/16 - 184 🤯- 1944 😡
WTH is wrong with me? I had a big lunch, reasonable dinner, and still snacked last night. I wasn’t hungry, just wanted the cozy comfort. My calories have been above my goal for 5 days. Just pitiful. Well, I’m boiling eggs for salmon-egg-guacamole salad for lunch, and I’m going to ask DH to ask me “do you really want that?” if/when I head for the kitchen. Maybe I need one of those oink oink piggies on the fridge and cupboard doors! I really am disappointed in myself. I think it’s partly the stress of our crazy times, but gaining back weight I worked hard to lose doesn’t help. I don’t need hugs, I need a kick in the pants!
8/17 - 183 😐 - 1641 😐 - snack 🍿+ whole-grain English muffin & almond butter
I did a little better yesterday. I did spend calories digging turf out of hard clay, and was hungry last night, but stuck to air-popped popcorn and muffin/almond butter, so healthy snacks and no ice cream. I’m aiming for just popcorn. Calories were only slightly over my goal for the round, so that’s an improvement. More garden labor today! Have a great Monday, my friends!
8/18 - 182.6 🙂 - 1306 😁 - snack 🍿+ 1/2 oz aged Havarti
Better!
8/19 - 182.2 🙂 - 1246 😁 - snack 🍿
We are having a string of gorgeous days here. I’m expanding more garden beds and replacing some of the few introduced plant species I have with natives. Very satisfying! Lots of wildlife! And it keeps my mind off food for myself. 🦋🐝🐞
8/20 - 182.8 😐 - 1769 ☹️ - snack 🍿+ Smirnoff strawberry kiwi
A little over goal, and I didn’t actually need the beverage, but.... All good, a light menu planned today. Off for a walk!
8/21 - 182.2 😐 - 1386 😊 - snack 🍿
DH wanted Thai carry out yesterday, and though I love the curries, I stuck with a summer roll and chicken satay. Yay me! I have a leftover summer roll for lunch today - yum! Happy Friday, all!
8/22 - 182.2 😐 - 1680 😐 - snacks 🍿🍨☹️
I had very low calories going all day but got the munchies last night. I do better with more nutrient-dense meals, so will pay better attention to that. Otherwise, all good! Wishing you all a safe & lovely Saturday.
8/23 - 182.6 😐 - 1342 🙂 - snack 🍿😐
Not sure why I’m up a little — probably delayed reaction and/or normal fluctuation. DH is making his yummy chicken Alfredo with chickpea penne for dinner, so I’m planning a very low-cal lunch and a walk when it cools down this evening.
8/24 - 182.8 😐 - 1947 ☹️ - snacks 🍿🍨🙁
Clearly I have yet to knock out the snack monster, but I feel I made a little progress this round with a lower calories average and more days snacking only on air-popped popcorn. My weight is pretty much steady, so that’s a win. Sept. 1 is my start date to get back to serious writing, so I see the next round as the definite end of my summer/COVID-19 food goof-off, too. No more 🍨🍨🍨!!! See you there!

Wednesday 08/19 - 143.2 - Glad to see this for the second day in a row. CICO, long term sustainability is my goal. Eating everything, but cut my portions.
Thursday 08/20 - 144.5 - I am okay with that fluctuation, I'm not usually, but taking it in stride today.
Friday 08/21 - 145.2 - Ow! Somehow up 2 pounds in 2 days. I don't get it. Staying determined.
Saturday 08/22 - 144.2 - I am all over the place with weight this round, even though I haven't changed anything.
08/23 - 143.9 - Liking that number.
08/24 - 144.9 Ended up where I started even though it looked promising at times. Fluctuated the wrong way on day 1 and day 10, that is how it goes sometimes.7 -

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 (8/12/2020). I realize that there are only a few days left in this round, but I am too excited to wait so here I am.
