Round 163 (95th for me) . I still need this to help keep me on track, particularly over the next weeks; the second of our holiday!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – we are on our main 2 weeks holiday, no flying abroad this year (due to Covid), we are in our touring caravan, so for the major part I am responsible for both choosing & providing food, so hope to come back at least the same as SW, a loss will be a bonus – any loss will be a win! But still aware we are on holiday so will be indulging in an occasional treat – note to self “an occasional treat” !! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” 2 months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.
SW. 133.6
Day/weight/comment
9/19. 133.6 - Just short of 6 miles walked yesterday hence167 calories over yesterday.; It was Heritage Bus day in the local holiday town so we took a vintage bus ride round the Devon countryside.
9/20. 133.6 - no structured walking yesterday, moved along the coast to Dartmouth, so with packing up, travelling, seeing up again & then doing washing (towels needed freshening up - so used the washing machine & dryers on site), the day ran out of hours!! Ended the day with 400 calories over.
9/21. 134 - 9.5 miles walked yesterday along the coastal path to Dartmouth Castle then along the river and a big climb up Jawbone Hill back to the caravan park. Good food day too 👏.
9/22. 134 - 13.84 miles walked yesterday, down to Dartmouth, across the river on the ferry and then 3 miles up the hill to National Trust property Coleston Fishacre, walked around the house and gardens followed by return journey. Food well within limits.
9/23. 133.4 -12.2 miles walked yesterday; we walked down to Dartmouth, caught the ferry which went up river to NT property Greenway. This used to be Agatha Christie's weekend & holiday home and is where she set her novel Dead Man's Folly, the TV adaption was also filled here. Afterwards we caught the ferry across the river to eat at a fabulous sea food restaurant, I had scallops, DH had a massive beer battered haddock, so delicious! Then we made the return journey, the 81 minute mostly up hill climb helped to burn off quite a few calories, I just had a pear and a banana for evening meal! Neither of us were hungry!!
9/24. 133.4 - 11.07 miles walked yesterday, took the coastal path in the other direction through Stoke Fleming, Street and on to Slapton Sands, a very poignant American Memorial here to 700 US military who lost their lives in 1944 during training for D-Day which went wrong. Very good food day.

9/19 154.4 STEPS 11,680 SLEEP 5hr10m
4.5 mile walk yesterday morning before breakfast and then a physical day doing my brick feature wall, calories and macros all great. Steps were higher than recorded as I took my watch off for most of the day.
My bad back has got worse and I slept badly because of it. Don't think I'll be getting much done today, it's my TOTM so with the back, the cramps and the tiredness I'm gonna be taking it easy.
9/20 154.6 STEPS 1,316 SLEEP 9hr28
Painful day yesterday, I spent most of it resting and doing stretches to try and fix my back. Managed to get a bit more done on my brick wall later on thanks to painkillers. I'm against the clock as I want to get it done before OH gets back from India on Sunday. Had a hungry day too, thanks to TOTM. Managed to stay in calories but macros not ideal and I had a late dinner which is still 'in transit' so there's a slight uptick in my weight today.
9/21 153.8
My back seems to have sorted itself out and the pain has almost gone phew! Haven't been wearing my tracker so no S&S data but I slept well and was pretty active working on my project. Food has been OK, I haven't had much of an appetite recently but did manage to eat enough. Pleased the weight is still going down, I feel like I'm due another stall any moment now.
9/22 154.2
A little bounce back up today, my scale is playing up, it took many attempts to get a consistent reading. Still not much appetite but forced myself to eat a large salad in the evening to get some fibre intake. Blood test at the start of the month showed I was mildly hypothyroid, having another test in a month to see if anything has changed. This might explain the lack of appetite.
My back is much better though feeling quite stiff, I am thinking of starting a morning yoga routine. Missing my morning walks but don't have time right now.
9/23 153.6 Another active day, I did 9hrs solid working on my wall, cutting bricks, mixing mortar, climbing ladders and washing buckets. I was a little low on protein yesterday as I had run out of food so I wasn't eating my normal stuff. Went to tesco in the evening to stock up and there were so many gaps on the shelves so I had to buy things I wouldn't usually get. We're having a supply crisis in the UK which is affecting food, a combo of a lack of lorry drivers, a shortage of Co2, factory worker shortages and brexit border controls. Oh joy. My home energy bill has just gone up by 50%, yikes!
9/24 153.6 Pretty similar day to yesterday, I've been feeling quite tired and slow lately so ended up having more carbs to keep my energy going, still within calories though. I've enjoyed having the house to myself for the last couple of weeks but am beginning to miss the company so I'm glad hubby and daughter are coming home this weekend, yay! Having a takeaway either tonight or tomorrow, I'm going to have chicken shish kebab and salad, I'll request no sauce or pita bread and ask for extra salad instead.

9/22 209.6 got a vaccination yesterday, so I'm taking it easy today. not hungry, and have general malaise. A couple of days and I should be back to my routine.
9/23 208.2 Feel much better
9/24 207.4 finally breaking that plateau, as for the last several challenges I'd go from 211 -209 every dang week, except the week I topped out at 214. I'm keepng my fingers crossed (and hopefully my hunger in check) that this downward trend will continue. I think that post shingles vaccine fatigue and less hunger day or two helped me to reset my sense of how much to eat in a day. I'm comfortable eating less, What seems to trip me up are days at the YMCA, when I work out and am then famished.

Round 163 goals: work out at least 30 mins every day, drink 2 litres water daily, fast 16 hours a day, no alcohol
Day/Weight/Comment:
9/19: 228.2 lbs – Yesterday I had a healthy lunch but then had popcorn for dinner and went to bed early to fast. Did a 30 min workout. Didn’t drink enough water but also didn’t have any alcohol.
9/20: 229.9 lbs – No surprise at the big jump today. I worked out for about an hour, but I had quite a few naughty treats. Ah well, it’s a new week!
9/21: 228.8 lbs - Yesterday went well. I had healthy meals, worked out for 30 mins, got my water in and fasted.
9/22: 228.2 lbs – Was hoping to have dropped more than this ah well. Stayed under my calorie goal, worked out for 50 mins, met water and fasting goals. Today I will try dropping total carbs to 45g.
9/23: 229.2 lbs – Not surprised at the uptick. I had way too much takeaway last night and also some prosecco. I’m going to try to eat well for the rest of the week. Today should be fine but Friday-Sunday is always tricky for me!
9/24:229 lbs – Ate under my calorie goal yesterday but no exercise. Eeek it’s the dreaded Friday! Really hoping I can stick to the plan this weekend!

• In Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal rangeJust because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily. People are still dying out there………
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
September focus:- maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
- Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.

Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 163- Maintain weight < 150
- 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
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

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.

NSV . My high waisted jeans slipped over my hips without unzipping … so bought 2 new pairs of jeans in a size smaller. WIN!
9/20 202.5 Walked 3.4 + 1 miles, 1899 cal, 246 net carbs, AF. Up a few times during the night and finally turned on coffee at 3am this morning. Feeling a lot of stress but also coughing a ton. Hope whatever ails me shakes loose soon.
9/21 202.7 Walked 2.4 miles, 1380 cal, 129 net carbs, AF. Definitely not feeling well yesterday. Took two 2 hr naps, hot tea, cough drops, meds, and skipped book club in the evening.
9/22 203.0 Walked 2 + 1.1 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1755 cal, 86 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
9/23 202.7 Walked 3.8 + 1.3 miles, only thought about swimming, 2453 cal, 184 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day looking at things to do on our trip in October and dreaming about places we could go early next year.
9/24 202.5 Walked 1.3 + 3.2 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1402 cal, 41 net carbs, 1 beer. Breakfast after exercise class with the gang + Torchy’s Tacos with DH in the evening. Held it together when ordering by preplanning and sticking to the plan.

My mom passed away 6 weeks ago. It is so hard to write those words. I spent endless hours with her over the past couple years talking about her family history I was researching. As a history major, she loved talking about history but when you add in the people we were talking about being in the revolutionary war or civil war were her ancestors, that was pure joy to her. She had dementia toward the end and she couldn't tell me what she had for breakfast but she could tell me stories about her youth as if it was yesterday. She had ten brothers and sisters, all just as interesting as she was. I was the lucky one though to have this special time with her.
I hesitated to write this because it is so heartbreaking as I tend to bury my emotions right now, and also for those who have lost their parents, or other loved ones, I didn't want to bring sadness to you. I hope one day I will be able to replace some of the heartache with wonderful memories. I did learn during this time that there is one emotion that I don't turn to food and that is extreme sadness. I actually lost my appetite.
@fmfdfa2020 Losing a parent is tough. I'm happy for you that you were able to spend time with her and get to hear so many special stories. My father you passed away in 2007 and I like to remember the old fun memories and stories as well. You made me think of him today. Thank you for that. ((HUGS))

Day/Weight/Comment
9/19 - 146 - It's Sunday and I had wine last night so I'm happy. I was also able to go dog walking today without ankle pain so I hope I'll be able to get more steps in this week.
9/20 - 146.5 - Too many carbs this weekend.
9/21 - 145.5 - I had some dandelion tea and plenty of water yesterday. It's going to be raining here the next couple days, so I'll hop on our treadmill instead of walking the dog with my husband. Over the years, I've walked our dogs through rain, sleet, and snow, but since my husband retired and I'm still working, I've let him take over.
9/22 - 145 - I'm very happy to see this number. I also know my weight will bounce up and down so I have to stay focused and watch my calories and keep moving.
9/23 - 145.5 - Ate well and hopped on the treadmill last night.
9/24 - 145 - My husband is making chili and beer bread tonight for supper. I'll eat measured portions and enjoy it!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/19 234.8
9/20 233.7 - What a weekend. Saturday night had a comedy show so we went out to eat and got soft pretzel bites, hamburgers, fries and beer. To counter that, I've been doing 600+ calorie rides on the Peloton and absolutely feeling it. I'm addicted to the Peloton rides because unlike T25, you just burn a ton and have no clue until you're finished how hard you've worked.
9/21 233.0 - Honestly surprised about this because I got home and snacked and then ate dinner and then snacked more. But getting in longer Peloton rides and burning more and more calories. Probably too many calories at this point so I'll have to eat a bit more to make up for that. Did an almost 800 calorie ride this morning and really feeling it right now. Water and protein all day.
9/22 233.6 - I imagine that bottle of water I chugged a minute before weighing in had a lot to do with this. Did 45 minutes on the bike this morning for 640 calories. Down from yesterday but you can't push yourself to your max every day. Any work is positive! I wanted to be under 235 by this coming Sunday for a friend's wedding and it looks like I'll be there.
9/23 234.4 - Not really sure here. I did snack a bit because I was starving when I got home from work and work ordered Chinese, probably just a lot of water retention. Have to drink more today and hope to flush the system. Burned 720 calories on the bike this morning. I had a lot left in the tank but I had to start getting ready for work
.
9/24 234.1 - Not a true comparison vs previous days because I didn't work out this morning. I woke up and was feeling sluggish, heavy legs and figured I wouldn't give my best if I worked out then. Luckily it's the weekend and I can get some good work in tonight and all weekend long. I honestly feel gross not working out in the morning, which is kind of interesting to notice.

I’m in! This is round 3 for me.
I can do anything for 10 days!
Goals: 11,000 steps a day, <80 carbs a day, strength training 3x/week, cycling 2-3x/week
MFP SW: 237.6
CW(9/18): 218.6
9/19: 217.8 Starting this challenge off good! Finished the day with over 11,000 steps and 52 net carbs. Saturdays are typically my rest days, so no exercise beyond the steps. ✔️Day 1 success!
9/20: 217.4 Creeping down some more! Finished yesterday off with 60 carbs, over 12,000 steps, and got a Pelo ride in. I’m ready for this week!
9/21: 216.6 Feeling really good this morning! Hit my step goal yesterday, finished the day with 48 net carbs, and got my strength training in last night. Bring on this Tuesday!
9/22: 216.0 Another successful day yesterday! Hit my step goal, finished with 48 net carbs, and got a 38 minute Peleton ride in. Today I’m feeling a little tired, but nothing I can’t handle. I also have dinner with my MIL tonight. She’s a great cook, although not a low carb cook. So I’m planning a very low carb lunch, and then I’ll just do as well as I can at dinner. I got this!
9/23: 216.8 A bump up this morning, but not unexpected after ice cream for dessert last night. I did everything right, even kept to my carb goal. Ice cream gets me every time though! It’s all good! Back to my normally scheduled programming today!
9/24: 215.6 Had a great day yesterday! 40 minutes on the Pelo, over 11,000 steps, and 53 net carbs. Ready to do it again today!

9/24 - 145.7 - MFP did it again. Went to bed with extra calories in my budget, woke up to "being over" by 263 calories. Not quite sure what's going on. It also said I had negative calories (like took away cals) from exercise, but I ended up going for a second walk yesterday around lunch with the pup once it warmed up, my steps were above goal, and I was good according to Fitbit (which syncs with MFP). Oh well. Guess I'll just have to track and realize that in the morning I'll be over cals. Either way, it's a loss for today so I'm content with that, despite the salty dinner. Bloodwork today so fasting until I can get home from that (appointment is at 9 and it's about 30-45 min drive). Dinner is steak night with sweet potato and green beans. I have leftover meatballs still, may use those up at lunch, especially if I push fasting until then. No activity today due to the bloodwork (fasting and no spikes in heart rate requested for it). Maybe a walk later if it's still cool enough for the pup.

Previous Day's Comments9/19 - This is water weight. Was at a car show with Fam and their truck (didn't win, but had a blast! Our buddy won 2nd in his group, though). Not near enough water and it was HOT. Tomorrow I have to commute to work so won't be running or working out. Need to figure out my lunch based on what we have here at the house.
9/20 - This is definitely water from being so stinking sore. Work is about to be fun, I'll be moving like a sloth today. Hopefully I can still get some steps in without overdoing it to help move along this soreness (hello, active recovery).
9/21 - Still quite sore, but not waddling around as bad. Did meet my step goal yesterday and I'm sure that helped loosen things up a bit. Will go for a walk this morning and put off running. My back is very achy and had some sciatica yesterday. Ankle visibly swollen (though not too terrible) so will take it easy and just walk off the soreness rather than run. Drank 90oz water yesterday. Managed a smaller dinner and larger lunch which is a goal of mine to adjust my eating and help with sleep. Home today, will figure out food for lunch and dinner shortly.
9/22 - I'm not entirely sure. Best I can guess is sodium from dinner. Not sure why 144 is so elusive. Think I'm going to row today rather than run. Ankle isn't quite ready for that high impact but I need to get some conditioning. I'm lucky BF bought a rower for us last week! I completely forgot about it until yesterday hehe I love that thing. Helped get me in shape to take my Army Fitness Test after a health scare. Over 90oz water yesterday and will try for a tad more today. Lunch will be leftover dinner (only ate half, super filling) and dinner will be meatball subs. Need to work on my NEAT throughout the day, yesterday was lazy but it was definitely needed to help with sore muscles from the 10K.
9/23 - Good news is scale says I gained muscle and water mass, but lost a tad bit of fat. Though MFP is irking me. When I completed my tracking yesterday after dinner, I was right at calorie goal. Now that I'm looking to determine what could cause a larger gain (I know I did not gain a full pound of muscle overnight), it's showing I'm 362 cals over goal. WHAT?! WHY did that change so much over night?! Ugh. Anyway, Today, leftover meatballs for lunch. Hamburgers for dinner. Am trying to balance my food/macros a bit with those options. Will play with it this morning to see what meals I can make up out of those. I cannot eat only 1200 calories a day, I'll be ravenous and a not very nice person so have to figure out why MFP is suddenly deducting all my calories the day after, too.

@CamandJarvis When I had my Garmin tracker, I set it to the tracker would update for regular daily movement. I don't remember how iI did it. What that meant is it adjusted my available calories if I had moved less or more than normal on each day. This didn't include exercise. I wonder if you have that setting and if Fitbit is doing the same thing.2 -

9/19 228 (+.4) Bounce from my Friday indulgence meal. Today I’m hiking with my sister and will really focus on getting my water. I’m expecting the scale to start moving back down in the next day or two.
9/20 227.2 (-.4) Hiking was wonderful, yesterday. It was beautiful and I’m seeing improvement in my endurance. We’ve knocked off several minutes per mile since starting back in early July. I’ve been hungry lately so will plan to eat every 3-4 hours to keep me from eating things I shouldn’t. Definitely got all my water in yesterday.
9/21 226.2 (-1.4) I stayed on track yesterday. It was easier because I was so busy. Today is a swim day. Can’t wait to get to the pool.
9/22 225.6 (-2.0) Happy, and a little surprised. I’ve been finding my eating creeping up a little. I’m tracking everything, which is really helpful. I’m still losing so I’ll just keep an eye on things and try to do a better job of having prepared meals and snacks on hand. Swimming was wonderful yesterday. I can't do more than one lap of freestyle without being out of breath, so I do breast stroke in between. My goal is to be able to swim my whole hour doing freestyle. It's going to take some time to get there, but I'm determined.
9/23 224.8 (-2.8) Yay! It’s funny how some days it feels like I haven’t lost a thing. It’s slow motion sometimes. I’m glad we have fitness trackers, apps, phones with cameras…so that I can track progress even when I don’t see it in the mirror.
9/24 226.8 (-.8) A bump after my indulgence meal last night. I had a great swim yesterday. Looking forward to finishing off these ten days strong. 11 -

Had Thai veggies for lunch, so probably salt. I also had some Triscuits and cheese in the evening — skipped dinner but I was really hungry. All good.

Thai leftovers yesterday so sodium still a little high, but not bad. I’m certainly on my feet more with the puppy!

Rain rain rain, which we definitely need, but it makes exercising the pup a lot messier! Oh, well, that’s what towels are for, right? And he makes sure I get off my duff a lot more! Have a lovely Wednesday!
9/23 - 182.8 (182.9) - 1201
Brrr! 45 this morning and wet wet wet. But it’s supposed to clear up later, so Rory and I will get a walk. Warming up into the 70s tomorrow and the following week, so perfect. Enjoy!
9/24 - 182 (182.5) - 1096
I’m glad my calories were low yesterday as my creative group is meeting for dinner this evening and I know there will be white chicken enchiladas and dump cake! I’m bringing salad, so at least one low-cal dish. 😁 I’m budgeting breakfast and lunch carefully so I can enjoy dinner. Also headed out for a long puppy walk — burn calories and puppy juice!

Thank you everyone for your very kind words and virtual "hugs." When I started this challenge a year and half ago, I thought it would be a way to stay accountable, but it's ended being so much more. Everyone here is so very supportive of each other in so many ways. You can see why people keep coming back here round after round. 9

Previous days
9/19 116.8 Back up and I can feel the water retention in my face even though yesterday wasn’t a super salty day. I think it’s just where I’m at cycle wise. So later this week will be the real tell of where my weight is at if I don’t have take out for the next week or so. It was nice to see the 115 range again even for just a moment. I plan on doing some sort of meal planning today for the week. I think that has been a bit of the problem with dinners lately, is that I don’t have plans until the day of. So, I want to try and fix that.
9/20 116.8 Went for a run this morning for the first time in a week and it felt great. My muscle that was weird last week still feels tight but at least there isn’t pain. I’ve just been more aware of actively stretching throughout the day to help it. Food was solid yesterday until my husband wanted ColdStone’s ice cream…That was rough calorie wise but I think I hit a wall with the ice cream and don’t think I’ll want it again for a while. I think it also made me sleep horribly from all the sugar. I can’t be sure of that but at least it’s one more reason not to have it again for a while.
2 eggs and bakery bread for breakfast, dolma’s for lunch with fruit and yogurt as a dessert, and leftover baked eggplant for dinner with high fiber pasta. CSA pick up tonight, so I’ll be stocking the fridge with all sorts of produce today.
9/21 116 when I first woke up this morning. Not sure if this is a real number because I weighed myself after I worked out and the scale said I was 117 and I couldn’t get the scale to say the same number more than once. So, I have no idea where I’m at today but I feel good, so that’s a win, right? Started the day with a 30 minute spin bike ride and plan on going for a lunch walk today too.
9/22 116.4 Again, my scale was super wacky but this was the first number so I’ll go with it. Maybe this is the universe telling me to take measurements instead of weighing? Oh well. Maybe one day I’ll have a bathroom with an even floor and properly functioning scale. What I would love is an old school scale that you balanced every time before stepping on to it. Food was good yesterday, and I was able to go on a nice 3 mile walk during lunch/multi tasking listening to a webinar for work.
Went for a 3 mile run this morning and it felt awesome. Today’s breakfast was bakery bread/toast with Kerry butter and on the side a ramekin of whole milk ricotta with a drizzle of honey and a sliced nectarine. I’m kind of testing to see which has more staying power for me: eggs vs dairy based protein. I feel like it’s hard to track hunger though because there are soo many variables that factor into it. Meeting up with a friend tonight for an outdoor hangout at a local park. I plan on bringing homemade beef stew for my dinner. I figured that would be a tasty and cozy dinner to eat outside on the first night of Fall in New England.
9/23 116.6 Today the scale cooperated and gave the same reading twice in a row. I started my day with a 45 minute spin bike ride which felt surprisingly good even though my sleep has been weird the past few nights. (My husband went up to NH to hike and I always sleep a little weird when he’s not home.) I also plan on going for a walk today during lunch. My lunch walk didn’t happen yesterday because the day got away from me and the time I did have, I threw beef stew in the pressure cooker, so it would be ready to eat around 5ish.
So, I decided last night that I’m going to focus on recomping to help build muscle and get leaner instead of trying to lose more weight. I want to be stronger and I think being in a deficit during the week is making me a bit tired and then also causing me to have cravings by the time the weekend hits…resulting in a frustrating cycle. I also bought myself two new books to help me build a routine. They are Body Weight Strength Training Anatomy and Functional Training Anatomy. I have a couple of the other anatomy books and I love them because I love knowing the why of an exercise and these books are usually really good at explaining that. The other books I have are the Stretching Anatomy, Running Anatomy and a couple others and I’m excited to add new ones to my collection.
Happy Thursday everyone!
We made a last minute decision last night to head up to nh. So I’m working from up here today and we’ll be hiking and camping tomorrow/Sunday. I went for a 3 mile run this morning and it felt great. I brought some produce and other ingredients up with us so I can make dinner tonight instead of getting takeout. Dinner will be honeynut squash with a lgarlic sage cream sauce served over fiberful penne pasta and most likely some broccoli on the side or mixed in. Estimated to be about 700ish calories, so not too bad and hopefully super yummy!
Currently enjoying the rainy day while glimpsing over at the foliage that’s starting to change to fall colors.

9/20-172-Insanely busy week last week, no time for exercise and was on my feet most of the time. Got all of the laundry done yesterday and cooked extra food that’s healthy. It shouldn’t be too hot today, so I should be able to fit everything in...we’ll see!
9/21-169-Walked 5 miles, ate the healthy food I prepped, rode the horse and quilted. Drank lots of water too!
9/22-168-Only walked 2 miles, and went to a garden club meeting. It ended up being pretty hot by the time I got out to see the horse, so I gave him a bath in the shade. I’m getting an earlystart this morning.
9/23-DNW-I refuse to weigh if I feel bloated for the day, but have eaten healthy. I made Bieler Broth yesterday (just a bunch of veges and some sea salt) puréed it and had 2 cups. Also had my seasoned bone broth, thus, the bloat. Only walked a couple of miles yesterday after long horse ride, which ended with moving cattle...oh, fun! Lots of running around today.
9/24-169-Glad to be in the 160’s. Only walked 2 miles, one was with the horse as his warm up. Ate healthy need more water.10 -

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

SW RND 163 117.0
9/19 118.0 Well yesterday turned out to be extremely stressful. 24 yo DGD’s 21 yo friend got drunk early on and after taking DGD’s phone and purposely dropping it and breaking it, decided to leave her and go with some random much older guy who offered to buy her a drink. So we drove to The Strip, picked up DGD and took her to the hotel to pick up her stuff and she spent the night with us. DGD changed her flight so she wouldn’t be forced to take a 3 hour drive with “friend.” I had one really watered down adult beverage late in the evening. Now her flight is delayed almost 2 hours. My stomach is in knots.
9/20 117.5 DGD finally got home, after late boarding they spent almost an hour on the taxiway waiting to take off.
9/21 118.0 I had about an ounce of peanuts and a lot of salt from the bottom of the jar. 🤷♀️ I seem to have done something to my left foot, middle toe and it really hurts to bend it. Awake since 3:30AM UGH!!
9/22 118.5 AF I was so tired I went to bed a little after 9 and slept until about 6:30. GARMIN shows 9h 31m I didn’t log any of the food I ate yesterday but we did go to Golden Corral where I made less than stellar choices due to extreme tired. Today DH takes neighbor to lunch and I plan to fast. We’ll see how that goes. My “fasting muscle” seems to have taken leave. I should not have eaten bread Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I believe I’m “paying the price.”
9/23 119.0 Lots of salt?? Under on carbs, fat and calories. 5 over on protein.
9/24 119.0 It has cooled off here and I need to keep my water consumption up. I also have quit making my version of BPC. (BulletProof Coffee)9
