Round 127
Please join us! Starting on 09/24 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 127
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Day/Weight/Comment
***09/23 168.5 ~ {Steps 15,404} ~ Today, I hit all my goals with my meals and my workouts! I decided instead of letting my husband mood bring me down too, yes I decided to hit the gym,***
09/24 167.1 ~ {Steps 5,467} ~ Today was another tough day, my morning workout didn’t happen. Throughout the day I didn’t let emotions let my food choices get the best of me. We did get to relax with some friends, which we come home with an espresso zucchini chocolate cake. My plan is to pre slice the cake for portion control. Tonight I was successful of not eating a late night snack. Hopefully the scale will be nice tomorrow.
09/25 165.8 ~ {Steps 11,288) ~ My husband was up with our pug, Pete the Pug at 3:30 am. It’s been a long three days, Pete doesn’t act sick and still eats but his 💩 isn’t normal? Plus he’s almost two and until recently he’s never had accidents, 😭😭. I’ll be back to post to reflect my day....
My sodium was extremely high, 😈😈 but I didn’t snack after dinner. I did eat later then normal so we’ll see how this reflects the scale. Spending the day tomorrow with my grandkids....
09/26 166.7 ~ {Steps 7,312} ~ I figured the sodium would be a factor for some weight gain, no worries. It will be gone soon, bring on lots of water. Today I spent the morning with my grandkids so not much exercising in but tomorrow my pan is an early walk.
09/27 166.1 ~ {Steps 15,085} ~ Tough day but I managed to stay strong after dinner doing a yoga session instead of turning to food, yay for me!
09/28 165.8 ~ {Steps 15,111} ~ This morning I had a small slice of espresso zucchini walnut bread for breakfast, I wanted to try it in the morning to make sure it didn’t make me spiral out of control. It worked, woot hoot.....I also decided to do a meditation video yoga video at night...
09/29 165.8 ~ {Steps 17,112} ~ An uneventful day, which lately has not been the case.

@ FFT2002, these are bigggg win in my books, wtg!
“Limited coffee to 3. Have to work on caffeine. No snack - very tempted though.“

Went way over sodium today, mostly the canned soup I had for lunch plus the handful of pretzles I had as a snack. We'll see if I am up tomorrow because of it. I would love to be 20 lbs down by my birthday (~2 weeks), I am within spitting distance (17.8 lbs down) but since I have a history of 1-3 week weight loss stalls I don't want to count on it.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 127 (round 59 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need it! 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 !
Challenge for this round will be still on our fortnight's holiday, but not flown to a hotel cuz of C19, instead we have taken or caravan away so I am in charge of meal prep. Goal is to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, hubby likes to ply me with blood orange gin & 7UP, which I love, but I'll keep to one per day, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 168.2lbs. I'm ok with this, I exercised before weighing and had some water too
09/25 167.8lbs. This is a milestone for me as it means I've gone down into to the next stone. I've gone from 12st 11lb to 11st 13.8lb. I know before I joined again I was into the 13st range, previously unknown territory for me and that gave me the serious jolt I needed.
09/26 167.2lbs As much as I'm loving the numbers, I know I'm not eating all my calories as I'm not as hungry as I used to be. I need to watch this.
09/27 167.0lbs Really happy my fat intake was lower than usual yesterday and my protein was higher than usual. However my carbs were high and I didn't want to increase them much more so my overall intake was lower than I would have liked. I'm pre-diabetic and have high cholesterol. I need to get the right balance.
09/28 166.8lbs. Woke up early having gone to bed early last night. My Garmin showed I had 2 hours sleep! That can't be right as I'd usually get up if I'm awake too long. Maybe my light sleep was really light!
09/29 166.4lbs Didn't have much sleep last night. This is really annoying me, and this time my watch was correct. I didn't get up for any reason but was tossing and turning a lot.
09/30 166.0lbs Slept well, Garmin showed I was awake for a total of two hours, but it also said I was asleep 25 minutes before I went to bed! Perhaps it was wishful thinking!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 - 73.6 - No I'm okay with that. OH cooked again yesterday (homemade burgers, yum), it's frustrating that he asks "you have around 800 kcals left for the day?" which I did. And then proceeds to not log properly and cook me a ~1200kcal meal. I kind of wish he hadn't asked because then at least I wouldn't have felt so bad that he intentionally just didn't care about the calories. That, and I clawed him back into logging again. After our bad Tuesday I think he was all ready to just give up. But I wanted to log, so I did it loudly making it clear that one bad day wasn't going to turn into a bad week for me. And then he took my point and followed suit, announcing that his meal was only 1000kcals. Now considering that I'd logged a smaller version of the same meal at 1200kcal I had a quick look at his logging. And yeah. Had he done the classic MFP mistakes? Yes. The butter he used for frying? Not logged. Had he used literally the lowest calorie option when selecting the mince? Yes. Did he check the database entry against what was on the packet? No (and it was wrong). Did he just forget ingredients? Yes.
The thing is as well, that personally I would much rather have forgone the two buns (brioche buns too, honestly I prefer normal bread)with everything stacked in a single one. That means I would've had less cheese too. But he made my meal smaller only by making my patties smaller. I don't have an issue with that (and it's nice that he's considering my smaller calorie allowance), but an extra bun is so not worth it and neither is the additional cheese that comes with it (aka 300kcals I could do without). I did suggest that next time I'd rather have my patties on one bun, so hopefully he'll remember that for next time. I do love it when he cooks, but he cooks for his large eyes, and certainly not for my small frame.
Okay rant over.
(This sounds a lot like I'm having a massive go, but I'm ranting here so I don't have a go at him. He's early on in his weight loss journey, and has around 1000kcals more in his budget than me, he's finding it easy right now and hasn't learnt the logging consistency that comes with time and making mistakes. He'll get there, but I think trying to cook for my calorie allowance is something that he'll probably always struggle with.)
09/25 - 73.6
09/26 - 73.0
09/27 - 72.7
09/28 - 73.0 - I often struggle to update here over the weekend. This one seemed worse than normal. Last week was especially tough. On Tuesday it become apparent that our wedding was probably not going to go ahead in the way we wanted it to (It's in April). My way of dealing with this was to not think about it. Keep working, and keep going. Reclusing into my own little world to avoid anything that might make me have to deal with how I'm actually feeling. And then this weekend I think it finally hit me. And we finally, properly, talked about it. And we made a decision. We're still going to get married on the same day. If we have 30 people instead of 100, then it'll have to be 30 people. We know who those people are now, and there was some hard choices to be made. But we finally sat down and talk honestly about what we wanted, what marriage really meant for both of us, and how we want our life to look in 2-3 years time. I can be a bit of an over sharer, I use this thread to sort of reflect on my days and how I'm doing and how it reflects on my weight. But that's hard to do when everything comes back to one thing that I really didn't want to face, didn't want to think about. And that's why I've not posted for 3 days. Because I can't pretend that everyone's fine when it isn't. Sure my weight is going well. But I didn't want to acknowledge how I was feeling, and the way I was feeling was having an impact on my eating. I couldn't post here because it meant I had to face that. And I couldn't. Not then. Better now. Can now. So: Numbers over the last few days have been good considering the poor week I've had. Had a deficit for the week averaging 250kcals per day, so I'm very happy with that. Logging has been a little dodgy as meals have been out of my control, but I've er'd on the side of caution where possible so I'm hoping things have balanced out about right.
09/29 - 72.4 - I mean, sure please continue. I am expecting that to zoom back up a bit tomorrow, but it's looking like my round target might very well be on the cards this time. Eating was fine yesterday. I was still shattered and didn't end up going to Judo yesterday, so I'm definitely going to have to make up for it and go for a run at some point this week, maybe even some body weight exercises at home, idk. Worked from home yesterday, so barely got any steps as I didn't even leave the house. I need to work in the office more often, I find working from home really not helping. I just have a much higher NEAT when I come into the office. Even if it's just the extra 20 or so steps to the toilet or the kitchen each time. It massively adds up. Oh and I get so much more work done. That too.
09/30 - 72.7 - Weighed just after a shower, so my hair was wet, but I'd steamed off in the shower, so I'm guessing my number was a little off in both directions (showering dehydrates you for anyone who doesn't know, I used to have a shower when I needed to make weight when I used to compete properly at Judo), so I'm not going to hold too much to this number, but I'd rather weigh and be aware that it might be off a bit, than not weigh and have no numbers. Anyway, yesterday I was so very hungry. And I felt rather fatigued when I got home after work. Somehow I stuck well with calories, but I didn't have very much expenditure so my deficit was depressingly low (still a deficit though). However, small NSV today, I tried on my Christmas skirt this morning. Last year it fit -just- but was a little too tight. Today it fit perfectly, maybe with a little bit of ease. If things continue as they are, come Christmas, it's probably be a little too big 🤞

09/24- 96.1 woosh but didn't sleep well today so hard to resist any high fat food. Will avoid the scale till saturday at least.
09/25- Ok yesterday was snacking (nothing major, proably maintenance), but tonight there are some plans for dinner that I can't really control so I can't compensate even though I am not too hungry today. Will take it and continue on
09/26- 96.0 Yesterday kept it reasonable though I am not sure how much I succeded. The scale showed potentially good despite, but that just means tomorrow I will get the bloating. So let see if I can sustain not weighing till Tue! Dinner was semi clean but we were having a bbq with friends and some icecream might have found it's way to my dinner plate.
09/27- weekend! 10k hike and low cal clean eating should compensate for the last few days
09/28- Not much walk. Not much food.
09/29- 95.7Weigh day!✓ stress at work leads to snacking but healthy ones (for now...)
09/30 - 96.0 Had to see if this drop sticks. And the answer is no - I am going ups and downs. Wander what the correct number is or do I need to re-adjust my food. Anyway quit happy. Would be good t end this round with a 95.X, whatever that X is

09/27 - 143.5 - Crazy thing...every time I try to "like" or "hug" another post, MFP times out on me. I'll try to catch up tomorrow.
09/28 - 142.5 - Not a surprise since I was up "releasing water" every single hour last night. I've had UT issues the past 10 days and tested negative for infection twice. Dr. had given me 5 days of antibiotics last week and I'm not sure if that helped a little or not. I've also started drinking Dandelion tea and D Mannose. I had a bladder injury when a disc in my lower back blew 22 years ago and I've dealt with that, but my symptoms now are beyond what I'm used to. I'm planning to see a urologist, but wondered if anyone else has used a supplement successfully to deal with UT issues.
09/29 - 143.5 - I got a few hours of sleep in a row last night, so I feel a little better about that.
09/30 - 143 - I'm feeling better!

I didn't eat enough yesterday, which probably has a bit to do with the drop in weight. I expect it to be higher tomorrow.
25/9 125.6kg
I'm surprised that I didn't see a bump here. But I won't complain. Still learning about ways to make takeaway food low carb, which is really hard when they bulk up meals with chips and bread. But tonight was a tasty win with a grilled chicken quarter and salad.
26/9 125.4kg
No kids tonight, so having an early bedtime. Hopefully I can catch up on some well needed sleep.
27/9 125.3kg <-- goals!
After 43 days, I am down 5kg (11lb). I didn't get a huge drop at the beginning, so I know I am working hard for each drop. I'm starting to notice my clothes being a bit looser, but no one else has yet. That's ok.
28/9 125.3kg
I was loving hitting this goal so much, I decided to stay there 🤣. Vegetarian dinner which was delicious, but extremely low in calories and protein. I'll need to work on other non-meat, low carb protein sources.
29/9 125.1kg
Spent today writing an assignment, so not much walking today. I went a bit over with carbs at dinner, but was ok for a daily total.
30/9 124.7kg
Not sure where this has come from, but I'm not complaining. Lots of walking today, so my tendonitis is playing up.

9/26/20 - 149.0 (1397/1430)
9/27/20 - 149.0 - scale thought about giving me 149.2. Part of me hoped for better as I went to bed hungry, but at the same I did got out to eat with friends for an outdoor-dining lunch yesterday. I ordered the cobb salad and when it came it was clearly not the calories that I had pre-tracked. For I better estimate I did what I have done in the past and broken it up into smaller estimations – slices bacon, ounces of chicken, etc etc. I then adjusted what I ate in the evening accordingly…. Gulp, just noticed my apple watch is not on. Weight probably should have been the 149.2. (1405/1430)
9/28/20 - 148.4 – good day yesterday. No official exercise but was cleaning/closing a seasonal condo (1404/1430)
9/29/20 - 148.6 – tiny tick up, no reason (1571/1430)
9/30/20 - 148.8 – second tick up, but I think I know reason. Yesterday, I ate a homemade vegetable soup at lunch (sodium?) and then stress eating during debate was a second serving along with a couple Duke’s shorties (better than my usual ice cream). Going to change the plan I had for today’s meals and see if a drop tomorrow confirms my thoughts

09/30 - 152.6 - I think this is sodium and carbs from dinner. Feeling a bit bloated, but nothing terrible. Only could do a 16hr fast as I was in training with set lunch time. Water was about 72oz. Under 1015 calories but 659 from "exercise" from the walking and errands I had to run after I got home last night. Dinner was homemade chinese food - shrimp fried rice, miso soup, and egg rolls. Was still a touch hungry after lunch, my sandwich and babybel cheese did not cut it for me, though I felt satiated enough to hold off until dinner. Dinner was quite filling but not overly so. I need to eat a bit slower so I can listen to my body while I eat. Dinner is the worst for me, lunch I did well with taking my time and enjoying every bite. Ribs were absolutely killing me yesterday morning but had calmed down in the afternoon. Today they hurt quite a bit, but its still morning and I'm stiff from sleep. Have to take my car in today at 8 for some work so I'm up and dressed early which hopefully means I'll get some good steps in without straining my ribs more. I've been taking for granted my ability to lounge in pjs for an hour or two after I get up before changing haha

Previous Day's Comments09/24 - A normal fluctuation I think? I made a new dinner recipe last night so not sure if it was a tad heavy or a tad salty since I never add salt to anything but recipe called for it. I don't see any noticeable bloating so I'm thinking it was more heavy than salty. We ate early since it was just us. Didn't get to fully fast yesterday, only 14hrs. Today will be easier since my eating window ended at 630 instead of 730. Plenty of water yesterday, estimated about 88oz. Having last night's dinner leftovers for lunch and making some stuffed pepper soup for dinner tonight. I'm sluggish today from waking up so much last night. Hopefully I can fit in a walk later on, maybe over lunch. Hopefully it will have warmed up a bit by then too! Let the dog out and it was chilly. Not ready for that!
09/25 - This was expected after last night. Actually, I expected higher with slight dehydration. Dinner was loved by everyone (yay! its a favourite of mine) and I was surprised with a homemade, from-scratch strawberry pie I just could not say no to! Its been years since I've had strawberry pie and I made the conscious decision knowing I'd be up today which is a win. I debated awhile about it, but life is for living and I need to have balance, even if it means a small bump up. Especially knowing that there's water weight and it'll easily drop down in a day or two if I'm focused. Today, I have more leftovers from Wednesday's dinner I'll polish off for lunch. I'll ensure dinner is light, whatever it is we have. More VW work today but going to try to squeeze in a walk this morning before we head over after BF's last meeting at noon. AND I'm taking my lovely gas station reusable soda cup and convert it to my garage water cup! Has a lid, a straw, and is 32oz so only need to refill once to hit my 8 glasses a day goal. Yesterday I learned I need a water bottle with a straw when in the garage as hands were so dirty I couldn't get water for a couple hours! Lesson learned!
09/26 - Inching back down like I thought. Dinner was pizza but I pre-logged to see what would fit into my goals and only ate that. Lots of water, too! Still feeling a bit dehydrated this morning but it seems to be a trend lately. I think it's a lot to do with my sleep and less with my water intake the day before. We finished round 3 of rebuilding the engine (oil leaks, yay!) and then rewired tail and brake lights. Today is wiring up the blinkers. Still have front end ball joints to go so it'll be fully driveable -- not sure if we will start those today. Should be good for inspection for registration at that point, I think! Fasting as long as I can today, luckily not feeling overly hungry, just thirsty. No walk as I don't have anything but pajamas available since I'm still in the daughter's room and didn't replenish my supply after a super late night (midnight!) working on the bug. Garage work should give me plenty of steps and movement, though. Going to continue the trend of watching my intake through the weekend. I really want to be in the 140s by my birthday (9 Oct) and its keeping me super focused, thankfully.
09/27 - Very happy to have stayed the same. I was for sure I had gained. We ended up eating out at a sports bar so we could get out of the house (hello cabin fever) and still watch college football (we had to wait on sealant to set for 8 hrs on the bug which stopped our work on it). That counted as late lunch/early dinner as we were too stuffed at dinnertime to bother eating. Definitely should have had more water yesterday, though. Football today -- noon games at home, followed by cowboys game at our friend's for some smoked (since yesterday) pork butt, then head home for Sunday Night Football. I'm not hungry still, so thinking of stretching fast as long as possible and making it an OMAD kind of day. We will see how my body reacts to the fast as it goes on and it'll be a good learning experiment. Still reading through Life in the Fasting Lane so plenty more to learn (especially given how much other I've read about fasting -- there's so much to it and my science nerd brain is loving it)
09/28 - This was a weird weigh in but it can't last long at all. The mirror is more friendly than the scale and if I had access to my measuring tape, I'm sure the measurements would side with how I'm feeling/looking more than the scale as well. Yesterday my BF% was 32.4% but today's unusually, randomly high weight was accompanied by a 35.8%BF reading. I woke up this morning feeling sleepy but really light and airy in my body. Also, looking in the mirror, my stomach has flattened out more so most, if not all, of my bloat seems to be gone. I watched my carbs yesterday along with fasting until 230. Finished my dinner by 615 and have been fasting since. 80oz in water, estimated under calories by 421 (96 of those "exercise" but that was really walking to get water, food, bathroom breaks, etc., not actually exercise haha estimated food intake as I wasn't 100% sure on the homemade potluck style dinner) Managed to eat until I was satisfied, but not overly full. I felt good all day, minus beginning to feel a tad bit lethargic early afternoon at which point I broke my fast and revived myself. It'll take me time to work up to these longer fasts without feeling major impacts on my life. This isn't a race, its a lifestyle change and I want my body to be happily adjusted alongside me.
09/29 - Whoosh goes the high weigh in. Weighed in earlier than normal as I'm headed out to work for in-person training today. Feeling more bloated today but weight shows opposite. BF% also dropped back down to where it usually hovers. Ribs still in pretty good sharp pain so today will be interesting. Starting to make me think I need to see a doctor. Giving it a couple more days in hopes it'll ease down on its own. 70oz water yesterday, fasted 20hr, under calories by 203.

They really don't do much for them these days, but you still may want to have it checked by hospital or doctor to make sure there are no complications. Do you remember anything happening that could have caused a broken rib or two?
Not a clue! I sat and watched football all day Saturday and all day Sunday - almost no activity whatsoever! Unless you count setting up one of those folding lawn chairs and plopping my butt into it or grabbing a plate of food from the kitchen (that I didn't have to cook anything for!) Whatever happened, it happened in my sleep because I was perfectly fine Sunday and not on Monday.
It was weird, too. Discomfort like I slept funny then raised my arm to shoulder height and boom, sharp pains. Now they're almost constant.

Day, Weight, Comment
9/24/20 - 187.8 to start this round, inching downward. I had a very hungry day yesterday too which made me think about the long term plan. I hope my body can adjust to eating less overall calories in the long run bc I don't want to end right back where I started. I am going to work on eating some volume veggies in the meantime. Estimated total calories 1351.
9/25/20 - 187.4 I should be more excited about it but.. total estimated cals yesterday 1292 so not bad. Need more water today.
9/26/20 - 187.6 hmmm. In good news, got an hour walk in this morning while my youngest was at volleyball practice. Since it was Friday yesterday I celebrated with some wine and chocolate last night. Total calories 1601, higher than my goal , but lower than maintenance calories so I'm ok with that.
9/27/20 - 186.4 super excited about this number. hope it sticks! I'm getting very close to my goal for this round! total estimated calories for yesterday 1298. I did have a glass of wine while playing a board game with my family but plan on limiting for the rest of this week until my girl's night in. For health reasons it is recommended that I avoid alcohol (reduces chance of cancer recurrence) but sometimes it comes down to a quality of life issue. I don't want to live the rest of my life without being able to enjoy something nice once in a while. Same thing with dieting I guess. Have a little piece of cake and move on with your life.. it's what you do most of the time that counts.
9/28/20 - 186.6 not bad considering I had rice with lunch yesterday, I don't eat a ton of carbs so usually when I do it is reflected on the scale. Total estimated calories yesterday: 1349 I'm so close to getting into the "overweight" category, I hope I can make it by the end of this round.
9/29/20 - 187.6 A whole pound up from the day before. Total calories yesterday 1595 because I had an apple turnover for my afternoon snack. Supposedly I still had 244 left due to exercise so I'm not sweating it but I need to dial it in for today. still sitting on my trend line though so that's something.
9/30/20 - 187.2 well I'm a bit disappointed by this number. My calories have been a bit higher (estimated 1705 yesterday) the past couple a days but still well under my maintenance numbers so theoretically I should still be losing. I felt I needed to eat a bit more bc I was just so darn hungry. But maybe I need to stay a bit lower in order to pick up the pace on the scale. Sigh. Back on it today

Day/Weight/Comment
9/24 162.2 lbs fasted 18 hours, which I account for much of the loss, also dehydration because I was away from home thus no food and limited water. 10,480 steps Tomorrow could be bad, going shopping and then a wine walk in the evening with friends.
9/25 164.8 lbs fasted 16 hours I expected an increase due the huge decrease the day before and also the wine walk was great fun. I had not been to that town in a long time and they have alot of new great small business and it was fun to shop and see what was out. The snacks were two good.
9/26 165.6 lbs Weighed with wet hair, fasted 16 hours, walked two miles outside, over 15,000 steps. But calories were about 1400 and I am sure some gain is still from the fun the night before.
9/27. 164.2 lbs. quilted so no exercise. Over on calories. I can do better.
9/28 164.2 lbs Under 1100 calories. It was raining and icky so continued to work on some quilted hotpads for Christmas gifts not much exercise and my back dislikes all the standing. This round is halfway done, I got to get a move on.
9/29 164.2 lbs Under 1100 calories, fasted 16 hours, over 11,000 steps. I realize I spent most of the day quilting again but really I could of dropped something.
9/30 163.6 lbs Under 1100 calories fasted 16 hours, only about 7000 steps but I got my half sliced jelly roll rug done and some pot holders for Christmas.8 -

09/27 - 176.3 - Just hanging in there.

9/24: 286
9/25: 288.2 (+2.2) ⬆️ I'm an emotional eater, and when upset about something I tend to over do it with food. 😩 I didn't go over my daily calorie goal by much, but with that and retaining water. Will it happens!! Back to it today. 😊
This morning I got my workout routine done, and I'll work on eating healthy today and staying under my daily calorie goal.
9/26: 287.2 (-1) ⬇️ Happy!! it's heading in the right direction again.. 😄 Now I need to learn not to over eat when my feelings are involved. 🤐 Find another way of handling stress & emotions. 🤔
9/27: 287.2 (-0.0) Staying the same, is much better than an increase. Yesterday wasn't the best day overall, but it's behind me now, 😒 Today is a new day! 🌞
9/28: 285.2 (-2.0) ⬇️ Weighed earlier than usual. Lost to more 2 lbs. Finally below this rounds start weight. Let's think positive, that it will continue to head downward. Would like to end round with a good loss.
9/29: 285.2 (-0.0) This seems to be the norm. When I lose one day, I'll stay put for a day. Hopefully, this means I'll lose tomorrow. Looking on the bright side, at least it's not a gain. 😄
9/30: 285.4 (+0.2) ⬆️ Didn't go down like I was expecting. It's only 2oz this is ok. Still have 3 days to get below round start weight. I just would like to weigh less than when I started this round. Like I said at the beginning of this round any loss below start weight would be good.

9/24-162-Walked 6.5 miles. Made turkey meatloaf with mashed cauliflower and gravy. I went out after dinner to finish up my walk and almost stepped on a rather large king snake. Eeek! I was done walking for the evening.
9/25-160-Yay. No walk, took the day off. Light dinner.
9/26-160-Whew! Biked 10 miles then drove round trip 5 hours to a funeral by the sea, husband wanted hamburgers on the way home. Waves wear huge and it was a beautiful day.
9/27-160-Whew, again! Made hummus yesterday.
9/28-162-BBQed ribs, sewed a lot, too hot to walk. Off to quilting class this morning.
9/29-162-Sat in a quilt class all day, then grocery shopped. Still, to hot to exercise, but will start today off with a bike ride!

Day/Weight/Calories Previous Day/Snack Status/Comment
9/24/20 - 182.6 - ~2100!!! - Just. Too. Much. Food.
My creativity group came over for what may be our last in-person meeting before it’s too cold outside, and we made it a meal — teriyaki chicken, rice, salad, and chocolate chip s’mores cookie cake. Yikes! I didn’t eat big amounts, but lots of calories and the chicken was very salty. But it was lovely to be together, so all good, and I’m back on track today.
9/25/20 - 182.6 - ~2000!!! - don’t ask about snacks 😡
I thought I’d be back on track yesterday, but for whatever messed up reason, I ate everything in sight all evening. I think I need to turn off the news! Anyway, I had turkey sausages for breakfast, and we’re getting smoked chicken for dinner to support a fundraiser for a cause we support — going for protein and fat to counter all the carbs I’ve been snarfing the past two days. I do feel puffy, so I know some of this is water, but not all. I’m hoping all the p & f will make be feel more satisfied. Happy Friday, all! Enjoy this final weekend of Sept. 🍁🌻🐝🧶
9/26/20 - 182.8 - 1645 - 4 triscuits
Calories a bit high yesterday, but better, and healthy, even with my little Triscuit snack. Macros about where I want them. Day by day. I did spend an hour cleaning up my side of the garage, organizing my shelves full of garden tools, pots, references, paint and painting tools, and other miscellaneous garage things and tossing stuff I don’t need anymore. Made me feel more in control! I’m sort of working my way through the house — my closet is partly done. It’s supposed to be nice and warm today and tomorrow, so I plan so be outdoors as much as possible, and have friends coming to hang out in the garden both days, before we can’t get together. I have a writing deadline crashing down on me, so that’s first indoors, so I’ll finish closets next week. When I get every little thing organized and decluttered, I know I’ll feel better! Funny how having our surroundings in order can affect our eating, attitude, work, even play. I’m also seriously thing of taking 6 weeks away from social media for sanity and to see how much more I get done without it. I’ll stay here, though. 🙂 Way tmi, right? Have a great weekend, all!
9/27/20 - 181.8 - 1285
This is a nice surprise. We had a pretty caloric dinner last night—baked chicken with broccoli, green pea fusili, and Alfredo sauce. But it was so satisfying, I didn’t snack in the evening — yay! Leftovers tonight, so I’m planning a light lunch. It’s gorgeous out, so I’m off for a walk. Supposed to cool down and rain tomorrow. Enjoy your Sunday!
9/28/20 - 182 - 2045 😳 - 🍨
Ok, it’s Monday, a new week, a new start. Still fighting the snack monster.
9/29/20 - 181.6 - 1545 - 🍌
Better. It rained all day yesterday, but I did get a short walk in the evening. Today is chilly but bright, so I’m off for a walk along the river and then to buy soil for my new raised beds to get them ready for spring. I may even plant some bulbs in them this fall. 🌹🌷🌹🌷 Planning a nice salad for lunch and dunno for dinner. 🤓
9/30/20 - 183 😡 - 2196 😡 - 🍕🍿🧀
Too much salt, too much food. DH wanted pizza yesterday, so I had that for lunch, calories high but within bounds, no dinner. But then, I confess, I went on a comfort binge last night. All salty carby, no sweets, so there’s that. Should have turned the TV off instead. Well, some of this is temporary, so although I’m not pleased, I’m also not too upset. Going for a walk, then hauling dirt to my new beds and finishing (I hope) reorganizing closets. The fun never stops!

Round 127
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
09/24: 208.2 / Starting this round in one of my prototypical valleys. Maybe I can try to get a little lower. I would love to touch my maintenance range a time or two this round. 😊 Having lunch with a couple friends, outdoors today. Going to be a nice one weather-wise. I will try to choose a salad instead of the awesome burgers they have at this place.
09/25: 209 / Yesterday I chose half sandwich and salad for lunch. It was a fancy BLT. Delicious. For supper DW had planned BLT’s. Yay! No evening snacks.
09/26: 207.8
09/27: 211
09/28: 211 / I was not near a computer over the weekend so I am post three days today. Saturday was a feast at a friend’s house. Fried Fish, baked beans (special kind with smoked sausage and apple pie filling in it) , corn bread and dessert.
Yesterday I went crappie fishing with DW and we fried up our catch for supper! Two nights in a row with fried fish. Gave some to DS’s family and to our neighbor, and, leftovers tonight.
I ate a lot, but it is also VERY salty. Blew up my average for this round. 😊
09/29: 209 / rinsed a little salt from my system and stayed under calories.
09/30: 209.2 / Pretty close to calories, if logged correctly. By the way, this may be one of my issues. Logging correctly. Some things are easy and simple, like a boiled egg. Others, like the delicious soup my DW made last night from scratch? A dash of this, a dollop of that, a bullion cube here and a cup of broth there, and water. And, how much of the meat did I get in my bowl? Did she salt it? How many oyster crackers did I eat?
And DW is not too patient with me when I ask for the details. 😊 I don’t blame her.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 = 171.0 (no change from yesterday) being having an inner ear issues this week so haven't been able to go running, hoping to get a nice run in today. This round ends the day before my 17th wedding anniversary, so would like to reach my 1st major goal of being in the 160s by then.
09/25 = 171.0 (no change from yesterday)
09/26 = 171.0 (no change from yesterday)
09/27 = DNW (slept in too late to weigh)
09/28 = 170.6 (down .4 lbs) I did all my weekend posts on my phone and when I logged in this morning on my laptop could not find any of them, maybe they never posted?? Anyway, I got in my 3 weekly runs on Friday, Saturday, & Sunday - none of them felt "great" but at least I stayed committed to being consistent to my scheduled runs. This week I am going to start to get back into strength training on the days I'm not running. Hopefully it well help make my runs stronger and get this scale moving again in the right direction! Still doing well with IF 16/8 (some days longer) and but need to be better with my AF days, goal is 4 per week but having only been getting 3 AF days the last 2 weeks which I know is affecting the scale.
09/29 = 171.6 (up 1.0 lbs from yesterday) I ate within my calories yesterday but instead of starting my fast at 7 p.m. as I do most nights, I had popcorn watching a show with my husband around 11 p.m. So not surprised to see this bump up on the scale. So today, I will be drinking lots of water and OMAD, fasting until dinner, hoping for close to a 20 hour fast. Will try to get out for a run today but may put it off until tomorrow if I feel too sluggish.
09/30 = 170.6 (down 1.0 lbs from yesterday) I fasted all day yesterday until dinner, but made it an early dinner, so didn't quite make it to 20 but instead 19 hours. Yesterday's run was a little humid but felt good, definitely felt some of my old running strength coming back on the 2nd half of the run. Yay!

Round 126 SW 164.8 EW ????
9/24 164.8 walked 3.04 Third day in a row at the same weight. I moved the scale to make sure it was level and after 3 times the weight was still 164.8. I have to keep watching the sodium and I think I'll be down in a day or two. And calories, obviously but those have been in check all week.
9/25 166.1 hiked 3.25 I can only assume it's the vigorous hike or maybe the sodium was a little high. I didn't think it was but when I looked this morning, those biscuits had 550mg each. Before I had a 2nd one I checked calories and I was fine but did not even LOOK at sodium I mean it's a buttermilk biscuit how much salt does it need.
9/26 166.0 hiked 2.51 Short hike, I had a bunch of stuff to do Friday night and needed to wrap up. So my unexpected gain was due to TOM coming a week and a half early. I'm 51 years old, this TOM can wrap up any time now.
9/27 165.9 hiked 4.11 Nice Saturday morning long hike. I should have gone 5 but I was picking up the baby and didn't have time.
9/28 165.8 walked 3.03 More than half of that was in the rain. A nice weekend. Spent more time with the baby and the BF. He says bring her over anytime. His kids are in their early 20's in college. He's ready for grandkids so I guess I'll share mine She doesn't really have a "grandfather" figure in her life. Both kids have Dads that are either out of the picture or drunk most of the time. He made sure to have toddler friendly snacks (and not just cookies although cookies did play a part). If I didn't already love him, this would push me over the top.
9/29 165.0 No walk A very Monday-y Monday. Didn't have time to walk after work, too many errands to run then the Chiefs were on (we won). It's beautiful today I hope to get in a long walk. At the car dealer now getting my oil changed. Ain't modern technology great. I'm working from the car dealer and updating my status here.
9/30 165.0 walked 3 miles I am at 1017km in my 1020km challenge for 2020. I missed it last year because I didn't take it that seriously and was then I couldn't go walking for almost 6 weeks due to an injury. Taking on this challenge has forced me to walk when maybe it was a little colder than I liked, or hotter, or rainy, or even snowy but I did it and I was fine after. Walking has saved my mental health this year more than anything else. It kept me from gaining a ton of weight during the first weeks of the pandemic when baking was a part of my stress management. I'll finish this challenge tonight. I'll keep walking at a similar pace, I'm curious to know how far it will I will go. On another note, I wanted to hit 164.8 this round, I have three days to drop only .2.... NO SALT!
