Lost a little last round, and average stayed the same . Need to start the downward trend so I'm recommitting to tracking. Let's get it off this round!

OSW 88 KG
RSW 63. 4Kg
Average last round 63.4 kg

7/11 - 63.0kg. A nice start but unlikely to still be here tomorrow as yesterday was a "bottomless pit" day. No gym today but I went for a short walk.
7/12 - 63.0kg which is a very good Monday. Still waiting for the uptick. Gym happening soon... No more work until September so I can go later.
7/13 - 63.4kg...I don't mind this after the ginormous t-bone I had for dinner last night! Great later gym session this morning

7/14 - 63.4kg. This is following  the normal pattern so going to be down tomorrow. Another lovely gym session done.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Female, 5’3”, 60
Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2020 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

R156: Time to make some progress and strive for <200 in July! Quit this yo-yo cycle.
Exercise Goal for this round: Bike, planks, squats & hand weights at least once per week. Walk the dog 100 miles in July!

🎯Mini Goal: 204.x (Repeat until I hit it!)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
7/11 205.4 Walk 2.75 miles, trimmed tree limbs, 1678 cal, 81 net carbs. Better start this round. No plans for travel or parties this time around so I have no excuses but to hit my mini goal.
7/12 204.9 Walk 2 miles, bike, plank, squats, hand weights, 1757 cal, 89 net carbs, AF.
7/13 205.2 Walk 3.8 + .7 + .4 miles, 1899 cal, 92 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Teeter tottering on the edge wishing to push downward.
7/14 207.0 Walked .9 + 1.75 miles, swimming, 1565 cal, 68 net carbs, AF. Hiking in Brazos State Park & swimming to entertain my daughter-in-law’s 5 yr old niece that is visiting. Came too close to an alligator! Wow that is a strange & disappointing jump up on the scale this morning! Could sweet potato fries do that much damage at lunch?

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

I expected better. I was on point with calories, but they weren’t the highest quality calories.

End of 10 day challenge Goal: 245

Drink a minimum of 64 oz water a day

Swim, Circuit, Hike (5x minimum)

7/11 - 249.8 (+2.6) I had my weekly indulgence meal on Friday which should cause some weight gain, but I was a little surprised by this much. My scale also is acting weird so I weighed five times and took the weight that came up the most times. It might need a new battery. The other weights were less, so tomorrow should be a good day for weight loss, especially after a 3.7 mile hike this morning.
7/12 - 249.2 (+2.0) Slowly moving back down. 1 hour of circuit training scheduled for today. Staying focused.
7/13 - 247.6 (+.4) Finally, my weight is heading back down and I’m hopeful I can still meet my challenge goal. Today, I’m headed to a pool to swim laps. I haven’t done this for many years, so I’m a bit nervous and don’t know quite how long I’ll be able to keep going. It’s a good test and hopefully a fun was to exercise that I can add to my routine.
7/14 - 245.6 (-1.6) Swimming laps was a challenge, but I did 22 laps in a 25 meter length pool. I felt great all afternoon. Stomach a little upset today for some reason, so this weight might go up a little once things settle down.

That was my favourite field to pick up hay from because it's on a high hill with a magnificent view to the north, with forests and Northumberland Strait and Price Edward Island beyond. This afternoon, I'm going for 2 more loads, but to a less scenic field. It's supposed to start raining in the wee morning hours tomorrow. This morning I did my first bout of 20-minute jogging, which was pretty slow, but I got through it and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.)

Day/Weight/Comment

7/11-- 215.2
7/12-- 215
7/13-- 214.2
7/14-- 213.6-- These drops are because even though I sweat somewhat when I exercise, I've been getting outside for a little while each day this week piddling in the yard or garage just long enough to get a good sweat going. Due to my autoimmune diseases, I have very high levels of inflammation (last visit it was 4 times more than normal levels) and was told by someone with the same thing I have, but who's inflammation levels are better, that breaking a good sweat will cause some type of positive chain reaction in my body that will help release it. I already knew that the day after yardwork my weight went down quite a bit so I've seen the benefits and thought I'd try it on a regular basis. So far, the numbers are going down even though I'm drinking A TON of water to ensure I stay hydrated--hopefully my next visit will show lower inflammation levels.

12: 206.9 🥚It's been challenging for me to keep any kind of healthy routine with the kids home from school. Today is my day 1 to turn this around before any more time passes. My weight is up, but taking into consideration that I'm in my ovulation week this will likely drop quickly by the end of the round.
13: 204.6 🥚 Heading out the door for day 2 at the gym. Really happy with my how yesterday went with elliptical, IF, supplements, and 88oz of water. Could've done better on carbs, but had the meal planned/purchased before I decided to get back on track.
14: 204.9 🥚 Small uptick is almost certainly from water retention. My muscles are very sore today from two consecutive days at the gym after taking a few weeks off. I also did a full body facia blasting session last night. Today is a rest day from the gym and blasting.

My scale readings bounced up 4 pounds when I changed batteries, so I didn’t suddenly gain 4+ pounds. I didn’t want to write that down but, other than the horror of a heavier weight, what difference does it make? So I’m going with the new readings, dammit.

Day/Moving Average Weight/7-day Calorie Ave/Comment

7/11 - 189 - 1623
Sat. nights seem to be craving/over eating time for me. Oh well. I just finished reading Burn: New Research Blows the Lid Off How We Really Burn Calories, Lose Weight, and Stay Healthy by Herman Pontzer, PhD. Pontzer is a Associate Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University, Associate Research Professor of Global Health at the Duke Global Health Institute, and an internationally recognized researcher in human energetics (basically how we burn calories). I found it fascinating. (Full disclosure — my background is in cultural anthropology, so I lean that way!) Burn is not a “how to lose weight” book, but the science he discusses is certainly applicable to our mutual quests here. Some reviews complain that there’s “too much science,” and there is quite a bit of chemistry and physiology in one or two chapters, but Pontzer explains things clearly, and the scientific grounding is exactly what appeals to me. Anyway, I thought I’d mention it in case anyone might be interested. If you listen to podcasts you can also find quite a few interviews with Pontzer that boil down much of the info.

7/12 - 189 - 1625
Fresh peaches — yum! I made a peach galette yesterday, and plan to have a piece for lunch. 😁 The calories aren’t bad if not added onto a regular meal day. And the peaches are so good! I split a 25# Peach Truck box with a friend, so may need to freeze a few to keep them from going bad. Did I mention how good they are?

7/13 - 189 - 1683
Rainy days. At least the flowers and trees are getting a good watering!

7/14 - 189 - 1691
Well, I’m nothing if not consistent so far this round! I can’t seem to cut my calories back to where I want them/need them. Maybe I should try for smaller reductions each round until I’m down to ~1450. So I’ll aim for 1600 the rest of this round. Not so daunting.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/11--212.5 Went out for a hike yesterday and the puppy did great. Then hubby and I went out for lunch yesterday at a hamburger place we hadn't been to in a long time, and let's just say that my body isn't used to all that heavy food any more, but this morning I am feeling much better. Trainer day today.
7/12--212.0 High carb day yesterday and sore from yesterday's workout, so expect an uptick tomorrow. Will be taking it easy today, just a couple of walks with the dog.
7/13--213.1 There is the uptick I expected.
7/14--212.0 There goes the water weight from yesterday. Took the dog out for a long walk yesterday evening and just let the dog sniff most of the walk, it was so relaxing.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/10 …..197.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/11 …..197.6 ….. Same weight as yesterday. I was thrilled to get to 197 point anything but now it is hanging on too long and even fluctuating in a not so good way some days. Time to make some more real and lasting progress this round. Good luck everyone!

07/12 …..195.8 ….. The scale finally budged (and in the right direction!). Sometimes I forget that it takes it few days to see changes (both good and bad). Yesterday was a good day although water and movement was a bit insufficient. Meals were on target. I am going to run with the ball today and remember that every day matters. I have a lot of travel and social engagements that often derail me (most of us do!) I’ve got to allow these days that will be spent at or near home count!

07/13 …..195.2 ….. I ate very very late last night so I am only too happy to still see progress on the scale. The calories weren’t bad but the sodium was probably through the roof. Pushing water today!

07/14 …..196.0 ….. Up a bit from sodium for the last two nights. I’ve got to start choosing something that isn’t filled with salt when I get hungry. My weakness is sweets though and I’ve been avoiding that successfully. However, today is a short 25 mile road trip out of town to take my son and his new friend to the Dairy Queen. I will have lunch with them but I will try to choose wisely to allow for a bit of ice cream. I will also try to get in some yard walking and stair climbing in the house today. Workers will be here this afternoon so I can’t go far. Water…water…water. I am still down from the start of round and my trending weight continues to go down. I’ve got to get that BMI down though. I am still at over 32. Obese. A lot to work on during this long journey, but I’m up for the challenge.
