18/10. . . 142.0 . . . . . . . The first time I have lost less than 3 pounds in a round! ARGH! But I guess I should expect loss to slow down as I weigh less, so I am trying not to get upset. And I should have done more exercise on the weekend. But one of my horses has come up lame, and I am fighting depression (got a doctor's appointment today, at last!) and feeling overwhelmed with all that I have to do at work. Hope everybody is happy with how round 165 panned out and I'll see all of you, hopefully, in round 166!

Sweetheart don't be upset! You have been losing really fast, over 80lbs in 9 months! You also met your goal for this round so that's fantastic! I should imagine you're at or close to a healthy weight now, well done, that's incredible! I'm worried that you're struggling with depression and by putting pressure and stress on yourself to lose weight at such a fast rate you could be making it harder for yourself. Maybe consider taking a little maintenance break or reducing your deficit next round and give yourself a chance to recover a bit. Losing weight can be really hard on your physical and mental wellbeing and losing at an aggressive rate can cause long term health issues. Please don't think I'm being a busy body, I know you didn't ask for advice but I'm just a little concerned xx

Previous days

10/9 Not sure what my weight was because I didn’t have my glasses on, so it was fuzzy…I think it might have said 120 which is an OH NO number. WAY too much salt this week for me. I managed to walk the lake with my friend this morning which is like 3 miles then we hit the farmer’s market afterwards where I was able to resist buying anything. I decided last night that I need to start having “take out” food alternatives for myself in the freezer for when my husband wants takeout and I don’t want to cook for myself. I’ve worked so hard the past almost two years to let it slip now. So at least I can control the number of calories I’m eating that way versus the unknown with the takeout. I was even able to unintentionally fast until at least 1 today because I didn’t eat before my walk and didn’t get anything at the market. Then afterwards I had to return something to the camping store… where I proceeded to browse and buy myself a new day pack, some cool weather running shirts, a pair of cold weather leggings, and compression socks (going to try them for during the day while I use my standing desk). I got the compression socks because in the mornings my legs a little tired after I run but I still want to use the standing desk, so I’m going to see if the compression socks help at all with feeling like I just want to elevate my legs. I’m not sure they’ll help but it’s worth a shot.
10/10 118.2 Dropped some water weight which is good. I would still like to get back to 115/116 over the next month or so to be in more of my happy place. I thought I hit the post button last night but I guess I forgot. Ooops! Not sure what’s on the agenda for today but looking forward to eating some healthy food. I made a frittata yesterday with leeks, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese. So that’ll definitely be part of my first meal today along with a protein shake. I’m going to attempt some sort of meal planning today as well even though I don’t know what produce I’ll be getting with our CSA tomorrow. At least I can plan the protein portion of our meals.
10/11 117.6 pre-workout 116.2 post work out this morning. Goodbye water retention! I have the day off today, so I went for a run and ended up doing 5 miles and then did my strength workout afterward. I did the strength workout after because with my day off, I knew I wouldn’t want to do the workout in the middle of that day like I do when I’m working. I also made some major strength gains in my chin ups, so that was a really good feeling. The last time I did chin ups I was doing 3 sets of 4-6. This morning I was able to do 8 for my first set and then 6 and 4. So, that was an awesome non scale victory.
Breakfast so far has been a protein shake with Designer Whey vanilla blended with a pear, peanut butter, inulin to keep my belly happy, cinnamon, and water clocking in at 489 calories. So yummy! Lunch will be an egg salad sandwich and dinner will be soup with broth that has been cooking in the croc pot over night with chicken bones from our meat csa.
Happy Monday all!
10/12 117.4 pre-workout 116 post workout. Did a 45 minute spin bike ride this morning. This morning for breakfast I made a protein smoothie with vanilla whey powder, kale, a pear, inulin, cinnamon and peanut butter. I’m not sure what lunch will be but dinner will be leftover homemade veggie soup.
10/13 117.2 Woke up hungry last night around 3 in the morning. I haven’t been wearing my running watch because I left it at my cousins house a few weeks ago and I don’t think I’m calculating my calories well without it. I ran 4 ish miles this morning and then did my strength workout. During the strength workout I was definitely tired and noticed it in the amount of reps I was doing felt like a lot even though it was my normal routine. So I’m going to try and eat a little bit more today to see if it helps.
I did the strength workout this morning because I’ll be getting my flu shot today and didn’t want to deal with a sore arm while working out. Breakfast was my shake clocking in at 450ish calories along with some Lion’s Mane and Turkey Tail mushroom powder. I started adding the mushroom powders to my shake because I forgot we had them in the cabinet and want to see if the Lion’s Mane helps with my focus during work. Medicinal mushrooms are super interesting to me, so we’ll see if I notice anything.
Have a good day!

10/14 DNW today. Ran about 4 miles this morning. We had Chipotle for dinner last night, I was within calories but it’s so salty. I woke up with my hands feeling stiff because of all the salt/water retention, I think. Planning to make pulled pork or carnitas for dinner tonight, I haven’t decided which yet.
10/15 Did not post
10/16 Did not post
10/17 Did not weigh this morning because I know I’m retaining water from sodium. Ran on both Friday and Saturday. Today is a total rest day for me. Food was meh yesterday but today will be more on point. I’m also going to be drinking a lot of water because I was lacking water yesterday.

10/18 116.6 Post run this morning. Ran 4.4 miles and it felt really good. There were some decent hills in there too. Yesterday’s food was right on target. Today I’ll have my protein smoothie for breakfast, something for lunch and then roasted chicken for dinner with potatoes and whatever other veggies we get in the CSA today. I might make some mashed potatoes because my husband was asking for them to go along with the chicken tonight.

I started mfp on 2/20/11 at 160.2 lbs.
My lowest weight on mfp was 140 lbs in 11/2013 and 5/2014.
My highest weight ever: 168+ (and I wasn't even pregnant at that time... ) That was in 12/2016.
Just for the record used to be an athlete a long, long time ago. Used to teach Aerobics and Step Aerobics. Used to LOVE exercise.
Nowadays, I don't exercise at all. Why, oh why not? How can I go from loving exercise and doing tons of exercise to nothing at all?
Going from low blood pressure to being on medication for high blood pressure. What have I done to myself?!

10/12 154.8 dad discharged from hospital today. Put on hospice & moved to group care home. Horrible experience so far. Husband & I extremely stressed. May change hospice agency.
10/13 154.8 🙂 over 10,500 steps. However nightmare I’m living is continuing. Hubby & I got no sleep last night as we spent the time trying to get food, medicines & supplies that hospice should have had ready. Also discharge instructions got changed by new dr (hospitalist) that didn’t know anything about dads complex case. Hospital was supposed to send important supplies & food with him & didnt. Takes time to get it in.
10/14 154.8 🙂 nightmare got worse yesterday. Yesterday, dads food came in about 2am. Jtube clogged about 5am. Had to choose either ER or let him go.., Chose ER. While there, my mom had to be rushed to ER. She’s in a different city. Different hospital. I stayed with dad while husband went to be with her.
Dads tube was cleared!!! He returned to group home at about 8:30pm
Mom not good. Non responsive. She had phizer Covid booster day before. Also has uti. So mental status could be from either. Fever can be from either.
I went to see her late about 1:30am She is admitted but no room yet.
We only got 1 hr sleep that night.
10/15 155.2. 🙂 I’m happy it wasn’t a larger gain. This round & the last one is the best I’ve done under extreme stress! I may have more of a gain tomorrow though. Got a little more sleep last night. 3-4 hrs. Last night after work went to see mom. They had just moved her to a room after 2 days & 1 night in ER. I wish that I had known as I would have brought stuff & spent the night. She was completely unresponsive. 😢 my husband has been so wonderful! 🥰😎🙂 oh yeah, something awesome!!! I worked late last night before I went to the hospital. My next door office neighbor has been wanting me to join her Ladies singing group that meets in the foyer in our office building on Thursday nights. She leads this & they’ve been doing this for many years. She asked me if I sing or could carry a tune 1 day in the hallway when I met her. Told her I love to sing but don’t know that I’m any good. She said she’d love to hear me & said she’d teach me to breathe etc. & train me if I need it for free. So friended each other & then She heard me singing with/to my parents on my Facebook. Plead with me to join her group, etc. well, last night they had just arrived & I was about to leave the building & she stopped me & asked me to stay for just 2 minutes before going to the hospital. They sang a song just for me before even warming up & it was just so beautiful & special. Like barbershop quartet but about 7 women. She conducted & sang too. They were absolutely fantastic & I would love to join this. They were so sweet to perform just for me. An ending to the nightmare I’m living right now?! I cried when I left as I walked to my car. How sweet was that!!! 💕💕
10/16 154.4 Mom was better, today. Was discharged from hospital. Back in ALF. She’s on scary blood thinner now for the clot. Xaralto.
10/17 154.4 dad in crisis today. Blood sugar way too high. Had to have indwelling catheter put in. He had retained all day. Now he has 3 tubes + on oxygen. Low grade fever. Waay too much drainage from peg tube. Don’t know why. Youngest brother flew in late last night.

Thank you @quiltingjaine
May 10, 2021:183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)

Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!

Next short-term goal:
159....158....157....156....155.X....

SW (10/8): 160.4

10/09: 160.8
10/10: 160.3
10/11: 159.6
10/12: DNW

10/15: 159.5
10/16: DNW
10/17: DNW
10/18: 159.7 - I've eaten at maintenance or a little above the past 3 days. My weight is up a little but still happy where I ended up this round - in the 150's!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's

If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/9 225.3
10/10 224.2
10/11 224.7 - So clearly my body just wanted to hang onto weight during the last round and then immediately when the round ends, just drop it all. I was actually surprised I stayed about the same this morning because I just did a quick pilates class instead of a Peloton ride. I'm now 11 lbs away from my weight at college graduation. So ready to get there and then beat that!
10/12 226.6 - A bump up but not surprised honestly. Between the stress at work with the tax deadline on Friday and eating so late after getting home late and then being so tired I can't work out as hard as I want to... yeah this isn't a surprise. Had a big piece of meatloaf and potatoes last night because I NEEDED COMFORT. Woke up this morning and set a new 20 minute PR on the Peloton and wish I could've done more but back to work!
10/13 226.4 - Again not surprising. Again snack snack snacked after another stressful day at work (3 more...). The difference between me snacking now and snacking 70 lbs ago is I choose healthier snacks, I stop when I feel satisfied and I worked out to counter it. Set another new PR on the Peloton and I'm feeling great about that. I can't wait until I can ride for longer without having to rush to work.
10/14 228.0 - Didn't work out this morning so yeah this makes sense. Really slowing down progress over the last month... kind of disappointing to be honest.
10/15 228.8 - Just going to chalk this round up as another loser. Work is killing me in every way. No energy to do anything and then stress eating/drinking. Deadline today. Refocused tonight.
10/16 225.8
10/17 226.0
10/18 224.9 - Not a bad round, not a great round. Weight loss has slowed down tremendously. Not sure if I need to work in different workouts or what. Diet hasn't changed really and I'm working out daily so I hope I can just keep going down. 45 lbs left... Just keep going!

Let’s do this!

Round 5 for me.
161 SW: 222.2
EW: 221.6
162 EW: 218.6
163 EW: 211.8
164 EW: 211.6

Round 165 goals: Pelo 3x/week; strength training 3x/week; 11,500 steps/day; <75 net carbs/day; lose as much weight as I can!

Looks like this round ends on the day I go to my doc for a follow up on the weight loss progress. On 8/15 when I saw her, she suggested MFP after my spending a few years-time both before and after pregnancy- stalled out around 230-240 despite my best efforts with IF. She gave me a goal of a 5% loss between then and this next follow up. Well, I’m currently at 13.6% lost. I’m looking forward to her reaction, I won’t lie! 😁

SW: 211.6

10/9 211.8 I can’t say I’m surprised by this tiny uptick, only surprised that it isn’t more! I spent almost the entire day on my feet yesterday- and usually when I spend time on my feet in the kitchen, I get some fluid retention. It used to be multiple pounds at a time, not just this tiny 0.2. So I’ll take it! I did pretty good yesterday. Food was on point, but I didn’t get all of my steps in. I was so exhausted from the past couple of days that I just couldn’t motivate myself to do anything other than crash once I finally finished in the kitchen last night. Today I’ll hit it though!

10/10 212.4 I guess the fluid retention from spending the past couple of days mostly on my feet waited till today to show up. I had a great day yesterday- 45 net carbs and hit my step goal. But alas, I was on my feet in the kitchen decorating a cake for about 4 hours. Oh well, at least I have an explanation for it!

10/11 211.4 There we go! Great day yesterday, even with a family dinner with out-of-town family that involved spaghetti and dessert. I took my own spaghetti squash along to eat in place of the regular pasta, and only had very small portions of dessert. Did go over my carb goal-88 net total all day- but came home, got my steps in, and got myself on the Pelo for 45 minutes! I’ve been feeling a little slacking on the weight loss lately, so today I’m recommitting to myself. I’m ready to rock this week!

10/12 210.8 I’m getting so close! I just want to see 209.8 by Monday! 35 net carbs yesterday, step goal achieved, and strength training done. Now to slay today!

10/13 211.4 I’m not sure what happened here. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m cutting my carbs too low. Finished the day at 51 net carbs, pelo ride done, and step goal achieved. I think I’m going to aim for the higher end of my carb goal for the next few days and see what happens. 209 is playing hard to get!

10/14 211.6 it’s the stress, I’m sure. I’ve had a very stressful week. I stuck to my food plan- finished yesterday with 73 net carbs. I fell about 1,500 steps short on my step goal, and postponed strength training till today because of everything going on. Back on track today!

10/15 210.4 Down finally, after a much less stressful day yesterday! I changed things up and ended the day at 105 net carbs. I hit my step goal, and also rode the Pelo. I changed my routine on that too, so maybe that helped a bit too. Who knows? Our bodies are mysterious creatures at times! I’m heading into this camping weekend with a plan, and I’m determined to still see 209 before that decimal come Monday morning. I got this!

10/16 🏕 DNW Had a great day yesterday. Hit my step goal and finished the day with 71 net carbs. Only issue is that I didn’t get in the strength training session I had planned because I just got too busy with getting things ready to go camping. I want to make it up, but I’m not going to fret if I don’t get to. I do want to change my strength routine up, but I gotta figure out how so. I want to do heavier lifting than I’ve been doing.

10/17 🏕 DNW Had a really good day yesterday. Stuck to my food plan and finished with 63 net carbs, and got my steps in even though the weather was cold and rainy for a good part of the day. I won’t lie, I’m excited to see where I land tomorrow!

10/18 206.0 Well I have to admit that I did not expect that! I was hopeful for a 1-2 lbs drop after my weekend of camping and eating according to a preplanned menu, but a 4.4lb drop was shocking! I can’t believe it! Had a good food day yesterday despite attending a baby shower- Iate lunch right before so I wouldn’t want to eat all the delicious food. I had only a pickled egg and brownie bite there, and still stayed well within my numbers. Didn’t hit my step goal (but was absolutely exhausted last night) and didn’t do any strength or Pelo, but I’m not mad. I did well otherwise. Now onto the next 10 day challenge! Maybe, just maybe I’ll see 199 by thanksgiving!

Total round loss: -5.6!!!!

10/11: 206.8
I need to pay attention this week and behave myself. I want to inch my way down to the next level of churning scale-readings.

Follow the bouncing ball. I ate within my calorie budget yesterday, even after forgetting that I stopped at the drive-through for a Culver’s mini concrete mixer. I remembered and added it right before bedtime. I thought I was rocking the tracker but it suddenly went from fantastic to just good. 😊

Drive-Through Calories (DTC’s…did I just invent a phrase?) are hard to remember and log. Used in a sentence, “DTC’s are just around the next corner, ready to ambush you..”

10/14: 207.0
I think it is safe to say I must be eating at maintenance instead of eating for loss. My current range is 205-210. It might be logging errors causing this.

10/15: 205.4
I actually got a measuring cup out this morning to measure how much cereal I wanted. This is an exaggeration, but I was reminded that “my” cup is the world’s quart.

10/16: 207.4
10/17: 208.2
10/18: 208
This was a weekend full of festivities that pushed salt, carbs, alcohol, and shunned water. Do you see how I blamed the weekend there? Avoiding the mirror right now. Missed my goal by a full pound.

Prayers going up for all the folks in our group who are in some form of crisis or another. Glad we can be honest with one another.

Day/Running Ave/Comment

10/09 - 181.6
Too much and too salty — pizza! Leftovers today, but I’ll try to watch everything else. I’ve decided to record just my running average weight for a while — it’s a more consistent record of where I am. Happy Saturday!

10/10 - 181.2
Well, that was a surprise! Weighed in at 180.2 this morning, so weight and running average both the lowest they’ve been in well over a year. I figured I’d be up with higher calories, but I was just plain hungry yesterday, so I ate. Another reminder of the weird vicissitudes of weight management.

10/11 - 181
Weight stayed the same, average trending down, despite higher calories the past 3 days. I won’t count on that, but it confirms that it’s good sometimes to break from the very low count. Anyway, aiming lower (~1200) the next few days. I’ve been in the 180s since Jan 2020 (up from 130 in Sept 2018–horrifying!) and I’d really like to get out of the 80s to feel I’m really on my way back down.

10/12 - 180.6
Closer and closer.

10/13 - 180.4
Still weighing in at 180.2, but it’s lowering my running average and I know I due for a drop as my calories have been low the past two days. I’m off to one of my favorite parks for a walk with the puppy in a few minutes. It’s a beautiful day. Wishing you the same!

10/14 - 180.1
So close! Weighed in at 180 this morning with average close behind. I’m feeling much more in control, with lower calories without feeling hungry. Pup Rory and I had a lovely 2+ mile walk yesterday, which is about his limit for now, especially with the warm weather we’re (still) having. Off for another in a few minutes. Have a lovely!

10/15 - 180
The scale is a tease! But I’m hoping to leave the 180s by the end of this round. Rainy day, but I’m hoping to sneak in a walk between showers. Happy Friday!

10/16 - 180.2
A bit of nocturnal backsliding last night. Onward!

10/17 - 180
Weight this morning 179.8!!! Yay! I was actually afraid to get on the scale because I’ve had two days in a row over 1700 calories, though my 7-day average is still under my 1400 goal. So there you are, the weirdness of weight loss. I’m mildly hopeful that my running average might drop below 180 tomorrow. Yay! Enjoy your day!

10/18 - 179.8
Yes! Weight this morning 179.4, running average 179.8. Happy dance! See you next round.

@starrjulia8 I asked my DD#2 who has a degree in early childhood and family development, how she handled her own situation. She and her 4 month old daughter escaped the abuser. He has had no contact with DGD and only phone contact with our DD for many years now.. I have *()edited to eliminate names but the following is her response regarding what you have told the children.

“I think that’s a good answer.

By the time she (her DD) was four, I think she knew that *(daddy) had bad intentions so we had to stay away from him so we would be safe.

Later, when he went to prison, she didn’t know. She found out by searching him online! 😳 Her sweet heart was worried that *(her oldest half sister) would be upset when she found out.”

I suspect that one day they will do the research online and see how the whole case unfolds in the media. I will hopefully tell them the truth by then. Thanks for asking her as well. It's good to have an additional opinion.

10/15 203.8 Feeling a little stress the second half of this week. My 4 year old children were asking for their father, a conversation that I knew was coming. They are so little, I don’t want to give them too much information but I don’t want to lie either. How do you say Daddy has gone to jail for the rest of his life? So I told them he’s gone away and I don’t know when he’ll come back... I got some big concerns and I desire to want to see him but no tears but I immediately distracted them with Disney Sing-Alongs…of course this just dredges ups so many things I do not want to even think about but I cannot avoid it forever. I am not going to use food for comfort!

Round 165 (my second)
October 9 - October 18, 2021
Female, 5’7”
SW: 161.6 pounds (Oct 9, 2021)
RGW: 160 (-1.6 pounds)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/9: 161.6 - Yesterday hiked 6.45 miles with ~15 pound backpack in prep for backpacking trip. Unfortunately, didn’t get to eat anything until 3:30 pm, so only one meal plus a snack. Tried to make it close to my calorie goals and macros.
10/10: 161.8 - Mostly same routine, but went for an extra walk to the grocery store (3 mi. RT). Ate a bit more than normal but still within calories.
10/11: 162.3 - Was it the homemade pizza? 1 hour of cardio and light weights and ate w/in calories.
10/12: 161.2 - Normal workout, normal eating. Trying to balance macros, but still finding it difficult.
10/13: 160.7 - It’s getting cooler here, perhaps I’m using extra calories shivering? Keeping up with the cardio and calorie goals.
10/14: 160.9 - Worked out, got a flu shot, did some baking and ate towards the higher end of my calories, but still within.
10/15: 160.7 - Beyond the normal workout and eating, expending a lot of nervous energy prepping for my first ever backpacking trip. I’m not so much concerned about my fitness level to do it, but worried about whether or not I’ll be warm enough, will I eat too many calories and sodium since the menu is mostly prepared backpacking food with a little bit of fresh vegetables and fruit. I just have to plan that a 2-day blip (if it really does turn out to be that way) is just a 2-day blip and I can get back on track to doing the things that have been working for me these last 40 days.
10/16: DNW - Backpacking
10/17: DNW - Backpacking
10/18: 161.2 - Well, I’m disappointed that I didn’t make my goal, but not discouraged. Backpacking was great, with the exception of having to do my business in the great outdoors. We ended up camping closer to town the first night because traffic was so bad that we didn’t get to area until close to dark and then would have and another 1.5 hour drive plus hiking, setting up, etc. in the dark. That meant we had two meals at a great local restaurant (dinner and breakfast) and I can pretty much guarantee that the dinner was very high in sodium. Onward to the next 10 days!

Total round weight loss/gain to date: -0.4 pounds

10/08 …..185.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/09 …..184.0 ….. Wow! Is this ever a crazy wild ride! Up & Down without changing much. TMI helps. Watching sodium a bit more. I am monitoring which foods affect me in a negative way-also the one’s that help the most. Tough to do with so many physical variables but It’s time I get to know me on a more personal level. Good luck everyone as we all find our way. Thank you @quiltingjane for continuing this challenge.

10/10 …..185.4 ….. After a late night yogurt that I didn’t plan for, I was over by about 100 calories. My daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after a fight at home. This time she even brought some furniture so it looks serious. She brought Chinese food which we split. Maybe water retention today too?

10/11 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 188.1) My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.

10/12 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 187.9)Travel today. I was hoping to see a bit of a drop today since yesterday was a very good day with diet and exercise too. Especially before a day of travel and an expected bump-up tomorrow. Oh well, trusting the process. I’m glad to be tracking my trending weight again now that it’s level off to where it was. A small drop this morning was appreciated.

10/13 …..187.0 ….. (trend weight 187.8) The expected uptick after travel. Lunch was out-of-town, dinner at home was very late as I wasn’t hungry for a long time. I hope to have a good day today. My stress levels are way up. Lots of disciplinary problems with the grandson age 3. His whole life has been uprooted so I understand his frustration. However, the kicking, screaming and writhing on the floor is trying. He’s a big boy and even the two of us together cannot get him standing to dress him after bath, before he leaves, etc. I am promising myself I won’t stress eat. Dinner tonight? I dunno yet. How do I feed my diet, her hunger after work, DGS taste and what she only allows him (strict on his dyes, sugars, etc) and my son’s Autistic eating disorder where he wants all white food (usually carb laden). My house will be full again today with the reno and the one handyman’s family sitting in my kitchen all day. 7 people expected total to come in today to work. Some will arrive shortly and be here until about 9:00 or 9:30 pm. Several more will work the evening shift only and will leave by 8:30 pm. All will be here during the traditional dinner hour. I’d pull my hair out but it’s already falling out again on it’s own. Enough of a rant….sorry for that…..gonna go step on a few more small, very hard plastic and 3 dimensional transformer robots.

10/14 …..186.2 ….. (trend weight 187.6) I am down 0.8 today but still above my start weight so I have some work to do. Ugh, my daughter! I love her sweet soul to death but she made a pumpkin cheesecake from scratch last night for tonight’s dessert. I will have a piece but I’m going to work hard today to keep calories in check to allow for that extravagance. That I can do. The weakness is to not go back at 2:00 in the morning for a 2nd piece. Working on it already in my head, I promise! Hair appointment today. Being stuck in a chair to blend the grey’s will help tie up my afternoon. Someone is coming over to watch my workers so they can continue. I feel like good progress is finally being made in the reno.

10/15 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 187. 2) Nice to see a drop. Travel today . Here comes the yo-yo.

10/16 …..185.8 ….. (trend weight 187.3) Pleasantly surprised after a day of travel. I’ll have to see what transpires over the next couple of days. As we all knows, just when it’s safe to go into the water…… Very low steps and movement yesterday. I planned for water so it was pretty good. Staying hopeful. I have two more days to lose 0.3 or more to make goal. I can do this!

10/17 …..186.2 ….. (trend weight 187.2)There is the creep up from the travel the other day. Also no TMI x2. I had a good day yesterday in both steps, movement and on the dietary front. It certainly does go up and down in patterns that is not always the very next day. One more day to see a better difference.

10/18 …..185.6 ….. (trend weight 187.0) Ended exactly where I started so it’s a wash this round. Today is all the pre-op testing for surgery Friday. EKG, A1C, Deep nasal Covid Testing (oh Joy!) and the blessings check-up. Just 11 miles away at PCP office so no restaurants necessary. I’m not looking forward to today.

Challenge 156: 245.4 (-1.8) - Challenge 157: 242 (-3.4) - Challenge 158: 240 (-2.0) - Challenge 159: 237 (-3.0) - Challenge 160: 235.6 (-1.4) - Challenge 161: 229.6 (-6.0) - Challenge 162: 227.6 (-2.0) - Challenge 163 223.4 (-4.2) - Challenge 164 221.6 (-1.8)

10/9 - 220.4 (-1.2) What a fabulous way to start. I drank all my water and stayed under calories. This morning was Orange Theory Fitness and tomorrow is hiking. I’m almost in the teens!!
10/10 - 221.0 (-.6) Stayed within calories and drank enough water. Just a slight bump. Hoping for a loss tomorrow. Can’t wait for fall hiking today.
10/11 - 220.6 (-1.0) It was a beautiful crisp day for a hike yesterday and we did 6 miles with 1,000 ft. of elevation gain. I ate back about 60% my exercise calories. Today is no organized exercise, just lots of errands and moving around.
10/12 - 220.6 (-1.0) It’s funny how my mind plays tricks. I was so disappointed not to have lost overnight, despite staying within calories. But what I love about this challenge, is that it looks in terms of ten day cycles. We are only four days in and I’ve already lost a pound. I think I’m just really eager to get into the teens. Staying the course.
10/13 - 220.6 (-1.0) When the whoosh comes, I’m hoping it’s a good one. Swimming was wonderful yesterday. Today I’m working at a local frame shop for a friend, so no organized exercise.
10/14 219.2 (-2.4) There it is! I’m in the teens.
10/15 219.6 (-2.0) Yesterday was swimming. I had my indulgence meal so I’m expecting another bump over the next few days.
10/16 220.0 (-1.6) Oooh! A full on binge yesterday evening. That has only happened a couple times in the last four months. No hugs necessary. I knew what I was doing and still chose to do it. Time to get really focused. I’m hoping tomorrow’s bump isn’t too bad.
10/17 219.8 (-1.8) A bit relieved to see the drop. I worked out at Orange Theory Fitness yesterday and a hike is on the agenda today. I can’t believe we are almost done with this ten day challenge. We are doing it, sometimes ounces at a time!
10/18 - 218.6 (-3.0) Yay! My sister and I hiked yesterday, about 4 miles. It’s getting chilly in the mornings. We intentionally hiked the service road to see how far and how long it took. This is in preparation for the time it snows so we can safely keep hiking. I’m shocked and excited at how quickly my body adjusted and moved past my binge.
