9/24/20 - 149.2 (1424/1430)
9/25/20 - 149.8 (1369/1430)
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 (1403/1430 + 137 exercise)
10/1/20 - 147.8 – Yay, these are times I am grateful for tracking. Yesterday, after dinner I was full enough that I was concerned. I went over my log and checked that I did not miss anything or mis-measure. Nope all good. Got my delayed loss today.

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!

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.
10/1: 283.2 (-2.2) ⬇️ Finally!! The loss I was waiting for. There are only 2 days left in this round. As long as I don't gain any weight back this round I'll be ok.

10/01 - 152.1 - Back down I go, slowly. Still feeling a bit bloated but I think that's still sodium. I was craving a salty snack and had a few chips and salsa with dinner. 526 calories under, 528 of them from "exercise" so did really well eating enough but not too much. Not sure what dinner is tonight but going to watch carbs and sodium in hopes I can drop bloat for the end of the round. Still determined to see the 140s for my birthday. I have a fasting app to help me track fasting times and keep record to learn my body. I got 17 hours yesterday. 80oz of water (I need more today, I think) Ribs still hurt, morning stiffness, but has become less intense by late morning after I've woken up my body a bit more. Taking it easy and haven't done any walks or other exercise. The "exercise" calories are those my fitbit tracks and communicates with MFP through the day.

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.
09/30 - 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

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110

Goal weight for this round: I really want to see 113 this round but I’m not sure it will happen because of where I’m at in my cycle. Getting back to 114 would be nice though. Darn vacation weekend away last round.
Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days
09/24 115.4 We did a nice soccer workout this morning and my body also felt good from my run/walk workout yesterday. My food was pretty on point yesterday and I have good feelings for today as well. I think breakfast will be yogurt, a white peach, and granola on top. I’m not completely sure of what the rest of the day will bring. We finally got a diagnosis yesterday for my mother in law after almost 6 months of various procedures and such. The outlook is good even with it being cancer. The process will suck but there is hope for a good outcome 😊. So, we are all just feeling a little relieved right now but still processing it all. Any ways, I’m just feeling grateful for my own health right now and the fact I get to live with my in-laws and help any way possible. I’m thinking with the added stress, I’m going to focus on trying to lose but be happy if I maintain. The added stress of not losing won’t help me in any way, so if I don’t worry about it…it’s all good. Have a good day and give an extra hug to those you can!
09/25 115.0 We went for a nice walk this morning. I have a training for work and then I’m done at 12 today. Then, I’m going apple picking with my inlaws and hoping it’s quiet there. I’m excited to make a healthy apple crisp tomorrow with our apples! Have a good weekend!
09/26 115.0 Apple picking was great yesterday. The orchard was nice and quiet and we were there for about an hour. My food yesterday was on point within my log and I had enough calories in the bank for a cider donut as a snack and apple crisp for dessert. When I made the apple crisp, I weighed everything out to create a recipe in MFP. After creating a recipe, I created a food in MFP so I can just weigh my portions and enter how many grams it is resulting in a more accurate entry.
Instead of using flour in crumbly topping I used oats and oat fiber, which added a nice dose of fiber in addition to the apples. I didn’t skimp on butter but I only had to use about 4 tbs worth. I left the apple skins on as well because I didn’t feel like peeling them. It wasn’t the most decadent apple crisp around but it sure was tasty! For 277 grams it clocked in at 324calories, 10.4 g fat, 63 carbs, 14.7 g fiber, and 2.4 g protein.
For today, I plan on riding the spin bike, organizing my clothes, cleaning up my work space/office, and doing a few other things around the house. Have a happy Saturday everyone!
09/27 116.6 Salt plus edging into heaviest part of my cycle. That’s life I suppose. I know it’s not real weight because after my workout yesterday I was 113.8 lbs “dry”. We got takeout for lunch yesterday the components were healthy except for the salt. It was a bi bim bab bowl which had brown rice, carrots, shitake mushrooms, water spinach, daikon radish I think?, a bit of marinated beef, an egg and another vegetable I can’t remember. The dish was delicious but high in salt. I also has some Tom Yum soup on the side. Then for dinner I made homemade macaroni and cheese. So it was just a salty day but on the bright side my calories were in check.
We went for a nice walk this morning and then I jumped in our portable sauna contraption to help rid some of that salt and water weight! This morning’s breakfast was yogurt with fruit and some apple crisp from Friday. My snack will be more fruit that needs to be used from our CSA last week but I think I’ll put some on top of cottage cheese so I have some protein with my snack. I’m roasting a chicken with veggies for dinner tonight. So hopefully I’ll be back down tomorrow 😊.
09/28 115.8 Back down it goes. I did a killer workout this morning consisting of run a mile walk a mile and the last mile was up and down hills at the soccer field. On our walk this weekend my husband was talking about how he was thinking we should get take out once a week and then I proposed we get it every other week. We talked about it and how it just messes with me so much and once a week seems like a lot for me. So, we met in the middle and decided on take-out about every 10 days. My next goal with that is to try to choose lower sodium options and eat something healthy like a salad before so I’m less starving prior. Therefore leading me to eat less of the higher sodium meal. In reality take-out food is not an option for us to eliminate because my husband and I are decently addicted to Thai food lol. So it’s all about balance right?
09/29 114.6 Whoosh whoosh. Went for a nice walk this morning coming in at just under five miles. Today’s breakfast was some yogurt topped with left over “healthy” apple crisp and a side of cottage cheese because I had less Greek yogurt left than I thought. I wanted to boost the protein content a bit for some extra staying power. My snack will be a chickpea cake batter dip I made because I was craving cake batter on Sunday and wanted to try making one of those “healthy” chickpea dips. It turned out decent. I wouldn’t serve it at a party because it definitely has a touch of a chickpea flavor… but it does the trick for me especially when dipped with apple slices. Dinner tonight will be some sort of stir fry with green beans, eggplant, shitake mushrooms and possibly flank steak. Yum! Have a good day!
09/30 114.4 It’s creeping back down to where I like it 😊. Went for a walk/run this morning. I think my joints like that better than running straight through. Food has been solid today. Busy day with work so just getting around to posting![/spoiler]
10/01 115.4 We went for a great walk this morning and I’ll be getting another walk in today when I walk to the post office to mail a few things. Dinner was a little salty with it being a stir fry but it was healthy other than the salt. The nice thing I’ve been noticing is that my calorie burns for the day have been up a lot higher since I activated the move bar on my Garmin watch. It’s a really nice reminder for me to get my heart rate up throughout the day. Usually, I’ll jog in place or something when it reminds me to move. Have a good day!

44, 6' trying to maintain at 150. Have to track here for accountability. More water, more low/0 calorie snacks when starving.
9/24-27 vacation- Hiked hard every day, Lassen, Zion, completed Angel's Landing, but ate big too with no tracking. Up substantially. Back here to track
9/28 158.6 Yeah...
9/29 156.2 I thought yesterday might have been up a bit from post travel swelling. This feels more like where I am. Still not great, but that's why I'm here.

Would really like to get back to running soon and enjoy this fall weather outside!
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
10/1/20 - 188.0 idk what's goin on with the scale Estimated calories yesterday 1366. I ran/walked yesteryday for the first time in 5 weeks so maybe holding water from that. Girl's night tonight but we are just having some wine, no food involved. On the plus side my trend is still downward, even though today's weight was sitting right on the line. Hope something happens tomorrow so this round isn't a bust.

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 do not blame her.
10/01: 208.2 / Back to my round beginning weight. A huge missing component of my life is exercising these days. Also, daylight. I do not have an official diagnosis of SAD, but I feel it. Happy October everyone! Where does time go?

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.

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!
10/01 165.4lbs I've been suffering with double vision for a while and have finally had a diagnosis and given some tablets to help. Unfortunately after 3 days my eyes are much worse. I've been told that in some cases this can happen at the beginning but it's getting to me. I used to have to wear a patch but had not needed to do this for a few months.. Now I'm having to wear one again to be able to see correctly. Feeling miserable.

09/27 187.8 Okay, I got a little off track lol Back on it today!
09/28 187.0 I liked seeing the loss this morning even if it is small! I thought about changing my goal this round back to my starting weight since I gained at the beginning but I may wait and just see what happens. Happy Monday!
09/29 185.4 If I can stay here, this is my goal for the end of the month, hopefully these losses keep coming!
09/30 183.6 Woosh?! I stepped on the scale 3 times to make sure it was correct

Goal -150 Alcohol only on weekends, exercise daily, plenty of water, no bread.
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!
9/30-160-Biked 9 miles then cleaned.
10/1-161-Walked 5 miles then turned around and went home to finish a quilt I needed to donate today. Glad to be done.6 -

Good morning! It's Thursday! In a mere 3 days I'm getting on a 30 hour train to New Orleans, which has to be the craziest thing I've done possibly ever. But it's such a great opportunity to see if I'd really like living there, or if it's just a fantasy I indulge in whenever I visit. And can I stay on a diet when Commander's Palace does takeout?

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!
10/1 165.0 Hiked 2.03 miles I did it! Hiked in a new small metropolitan trail. I wore the wrong shoes and got a late start so I just walked 2. I liked the idea of hitting my year goal by the end of September! I'm proud of myself, I accomplished something that for my old 275 pound, 5 ft 1 self would have thought impossible. I will say 3 days in a row at the same weight is annoying. Meeting a friend for lunch today in an outdoor restaurant. I haven't eaten out in months.

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!

I knew a lot of that was salt! I ate well yesterday, but did have a small bowl of ice cream last night. With walking, my calories were still below maintenance, so that’s a plus. I’m trying to get more protein and healthy fat at breakfast, which helps a lot with hunger later in the day. Chilly here, so I’m bundling up to go for a nice walk. Have a great day, all!
