Day/Weight/Comment
10/19 / 205.4 / Ready to kick this mid-200's to the curb! Let's do this.
10/20 / 204 / Oh hey girl hey!!! There's the drop I've been looking for. Hubby and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary last night. We opted to stay in and he cooked me a fabulous meal. Had planned my calories at maintenance - 10% and am happy with how I managed myself.
10/21 / 202 / Looks like my body is saying goodbye to what it held on to in R165! I had the hardest ride on the Peloton to date yesterday morning and a really great day of eating. This is my lowest weight ever on this journey and it officially moves me from the obese BMI category to overweight! WOO HOO!
10/22 / 201.4 / Yesterday was a mix of yoga, strength training, and walking. Ate on track, went to my Mom's for dinner and cooked a healthy meal for her. Glad to see more progress today!
10/23 / 199.8 / I'm not exactly sure when the last time I saw a 1 to start my weight was, but the last memory I do have of it was around 15 years ago, so this is a VERY exciting day indeed. The weight seems to just be tumbling off me this round!
10/24 / 200 / It was pouring rain here yesterday, but it wasn't snow so I'll take it! Got myself out for a good walk, rode the Peloton, and did my yoga. Noticing how much better it feels to be inside my body these days.
10/25 / 202.2 / Fun day yesterday doing a few shorter hikes in the mountains. Made some great memories. Also did a harder than normal 30 minute power yoga class.. loving how I can notice my strength improving.

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
🎃🎃🎃 OCTOBER 🎃🎃🎃
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine. (Now 85 😁)
• 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!😷
October 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.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 164- Maintain weight < 145
- 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.

10/22 207.2 I'm glad to be out of the teens and solidly in the 200 + single digits. Down a smidgen over 70. I don't mind plateaus. I feel good swimming laps, doing tai chi & chair yoga, even though I'm famished after time in the water.
10/23 206.2 weight fluctuates. I'm happy to have lost since I had a headache & backache followed by two peanut butter & honey sandwiches (totally off my plan) last night.
This is a very interesting journey with surprises along the way!
10/24 205 Go figure...a friend stopped by unexpectedly with a box of cinnamon rolls yesterday afternoon, I had three as I had coffee & we chatted. And I lost weight this morning?
10/25 206.2 swam for an hour, overate, popcorn, energy bars, Babe Ruth bar, 2 extra bananas. Dang swimming makes me way more hungry than any other exercise! Hope tomorrow's weight isn't outrageous.

@Elbee1 So sorry for the loss of your dad. Prayers for your family.9

If you are losing a lot of hair, please check your proteins. Your hair starts falling out when you are not getting enough proteins. Hope this helps. Be patient and don't starve yourself because this will backfire when you are closer to goal. Our bodies are soooo smart. It will hold on to pounds if you drop your calories too low. It will go into starvation mode.39flavours wrote: »F41, 5'4

**********************************************
10/19 148.4 (trend 149.9) I hit last round's goal weight today so I'm pleased about that, also got my trend weight below 150 so have changed my UGW trend to my healthy weight BMI, it seems like such a long way off but it's only 7.2lbs away, totally doable!
I had a terrible night's sleep, anxiety and knowing I have a busy day ahead today working with my plumber and electrician kept me awake until 5am, then my alarm went off at 6.30... don't know how I'm gonna get through today without lots of sugar but I'll do my best!
Goal weight for this round is 10.5St (147lbs) which is the weight I was when I met my husband 9.5 years ago.
10/20 148.4 (trend 149.7) Feeling much brighter today after a good sleep. I need to really focus on drinking more water and getting more nutrients as I've been relying too much on snacky foods like deli meats, crackers and cheese and not having enough vitamins, and I've been drinking too much coffee. Need to R&R, rest and rehydrate, rather than depending on stimulants and fatty salty food to keep my energy up.150 cals over yesterday but it was a long busy day.
10/21 147.4 (trend 149.4) Excited to see 147 with a 1lb drop over night, it feels like I've been very slowly creeping down for ages so to get a big drop is great. I hope it sticks! Also my BMI is 25.8 so I'm in close range of a healthy weight, not too far now! Still my trend weight has to catch up, so I'm not getting complacent. Had a huge chicken salad last night, first time I've had any proper volume in my stomach for several days, felt good!
10/22 147.2 (trend 149.1) I didn't deserve this loss today as I went out last night and had beers, cheesy chips and a big cookie, hopefully it doesn't catch me up tomorrow! Not a very healthy day but I'm not going to dwell on it.
10/23 149.4 (trend 149.2) Yikes! I ate a lot yesterday, all sensible choices but at maintenance calories. Had indigestion all night and still feeling bloated today so I'm not really surprised at this. Going to water fast for most of the day to try and flush this through.
10/24 148.2 (trend 149.0) Still a bit bloated but glad to see this dropping back down quickly. Excited that my trend weight is coming down and I'm leaving 150lbs in the distance! Fasted until about 5pm then had chicken salad and a cereal bar. Spent most of the day paint stripping which was weirdly satisfying and kept me active. Today I need to seal the walls and ceiling with a pva glue solution ready for the plasterers to come and do their magic, can't wait!
10/25 148.6 (trend 148.9) I'm a bit bummed that I didn't lose today, I ate within my cals yesterday, got plenty of fluids, went for a 4 mile brisk walk and spent the rest of the day on my feet working on my kitchen reno. I must be retaining something as my average daily cals for the last week are 1000ish. It really does get harder the closer you get to goal but I still have about 20lbs to go and at this rate it's going to take me about 8 months to get there. Getting my follow up blood test for my thyroid in a week as it was moderately underactive 2 months ago, I've been losing a LOT of hair recently not sure if this is because of low calories or the thyroid.

SW:79kg (12st 6lb) Started today
GW: 64kg (10st 1lb)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: 79kg. I lost 2.5 stone a few years back but a divorce, house move and then Covid misery has seen me put it all back on again. My indigestion is bad, my joints ache and I feel sluggish and grumpy. All things I know are improved with a better diet and more exercise so back to MFP I go!
10/20: 78kg (12st 4lb). It's always easy for week 1!!
10/21: 77kg (12st 2lb). Indigestion is still playing up but have made careful food choices and made the conscious effort to walk just that bit further on my dog walks. Am well aware that this is all water loss and the hard work starts now to keep the scales moving down.
10/22 77kg (12st 2lb)
10/23 76kg (12st). The indigestion is starting to improve although I still feel bloated and yucky. Going in to town today and the thought of trying to squeeze myself into my jeans makes me very uncomfortable. Think I’ll stick with my leggings for another half a stone or so:(
10/24 76kg (12st). Had a lovely long walk yesterday. 20,000 steps. Also bought 2 new tops that fit and make me feel great. Had another long walk today. 14,000 steps. The weather is very chilly but it was good to be out!
10/25 76kg (12st). Got to face my first big challenge later. My daughter wants Dominos pizza. I need to eat a sensible portion. Portion control when faced with tempting food items is a huge issue for me. I've pre-calculated 3 slices and 1 pot of dip. Fingers crossed I can stick to it.
10/26 75.5kg (11st 12.5lb). I did good with my pizza challenge and stayed within my calories for the day!

Round 166 (98th for me). I need this to help keep me on track.
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to get back on track – want to drop a few pounds by the start of December as I feel more comfy in a dress I want to wear for Peaky Blinders night – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” sometime 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.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

**********************************************
10/19 148.4 (trend 149.9) I hit last round's goal weight today so I'm pleased about that, also got my trend weight below 150 so have changed my UGW trend to my healthy weight BMI, it seems like such a long way off but it's only 7.2lbs away, totally doable!
I had a terrible night's sleep, anxiety and knowing I have a busy day ahead today working with my plumber and electrician kept me awake until 5am, then my alarm went off at 6.30... don't know how I'm gonna get through today without lots of sugar but I'll do my best!
Goal weight for this round is 10.5St (147lbs) which is the weight I was when I met my husband 9.5 years ago.
10/20 148.4 (trend 149.7) Feeling much brighter today after a good sleep. I need to really focus on drinking more water and getting more nutrients as I've been relying too much on snacky foods like deli meats, crackers and cheese and not having enough vitamins, and I've been drinking too much coffee. Need to R&R, rest and rehydrate, rather than depending on stimulants and fatty salty food to keep my energy up.150 cals over yesterday but it was a long busy day.
10/21 147.4 (trend 149.4) Excited to see 147 with a 1lb drop over night, it feels like I've been very slowly creeping down for ages so to get a big drop is great. I hope it sticks! Also my BMI is 25.8 so I'm in close range of a healthy weight, not too far now! Still my trend weight has to catch up, so I'm not getting complacent. Had a huge chicken salad last night, first time I've had any proper volume in my stomach for several days, felt good!
10/22 147.2 (trend 149.1) I didn't deserve this loss today as I went out last night and had beers, cheesy chips and a big cookie, hopefully it doesn't catch me up tomorrow! Not a very healthy day but I'm not going to dwell on it.
10/23 149.4 (trend 149.2) Yikes! I ate a lot yesterday, all sensible choices but at maintenance calories. Had indigestion all night and still feeling bloated today so I'm not really surprised at this. Going to water fast for most of the day to try and flush this through.
10/24 148.2 (trend 149.0) Still a bit bloated but glad to see this dropping back down quickly. Excited that my trend weight is coming down and I'm leaving 150lbs in the distance! Fasted until about 5pm then had chicken salad and a cereal bar. Spent most of the day paint stripping which was weirdly satisfying and kept me active. Today I need to seal the walls and ceiling with a pva glue solution ready for the plasterers to come and do their magic, can't wait!
10/25 148.6 (trend 148.9) I'm a bit bummed that I didn't lose today, I ate within my cals yesterday, got plenty of fluids, went for a 4 mile brisk walk and spent the rest of the day on my feet working on my kitchen reno. I must be retaining something as my average daily cals for the last week are 1000ish. It really does get harder the closer you get to goal but I still have about 20lbs to go and at this rate it's going to take me about 8 months to get there. Getting my follow up blood test for my thyroid in a week as it was moderately underactive 2 months ago, I've been losing a LOT of hair recently not sure if this is because of low calories or the thyroid.
10/26 147.4 (trend 148.7) Glad to see things settling back down. I had bad cramps and bloating again yesterday, think it was hormonal this time as I was really anxious and crabby too. Calendar says ovulation so probably that. Had very little appetite most of the day then got carried away with the oatcakes, pickles and cream cheese in the evening. Will I hit my goal this round? Maybe?

Day, Weight, Comment
Previous days :
10/19 73.5 (+0.1kg) 162.0 (+0.2lbs) Kept my carbs under 20gr, walked to and from the office which is 8km total. Not sure where the gains are coming from but I'm guessing I'm putting back on the muscles I lost while I was in the wheelchair. My clothes don't fit any different but there's certainly more muscles in my legs where they had totally disappeared. The walking is going so well I might even try running (or hobbling along lol) Big day for my father today, we've got an appointment this afternoon where they're going to tell us the grading of the cancer and the proposed treatment. I'm quite conflicted with all this, my father is not the nicest of persons and my adolescence was pretty awful, a lot of my food issues are to do with him, so becoming his sole caregiver is a well of contradictory emotions. I'm trying not to compensate with food as I did as a teenager.
10/20 73.1kg (-0.4kg) 161.1 (-0.9 lbs) Pretty happy with that, I think all the walking is paying off, I walked again the 8km yesterday and I'm doing some yoga morning and evening for stretching. For Dad, they're opting for the chimio/radiotherapy combination and they're reasonably optimistic. They're calling it a curative treatment compared to a palliative treatment. Nothing special planned
10/21 73.1 kg or 161.1 lbs (no change). Yesterday was a pretty good day all over. Walked the 8km plus another 1.5km during lunch. I thought I'd go out for a walk this afternoon but it's pouring down, so I'll just work and maybe leave the office early for a longer walk back if the weather improves. Food is ok, I'm working long hours and running around quite a bit, but evenings are harder, the fridge is just there and being able to nibble is hard to resist!
10/22 : 73.1 kg or 161.1 lbs. No change. I was good all day, did my 8km walk but when I arrived home I had a total of 15 mins to eat, get changed and leave to get my dad to the doctors so I ended up throwing a frozen meal in the microwave. Definitely not keto or even anywhere near low carb.. and I thoroughly enjoyed it... potatoes in cheese sauce
(I was still wayyyy under calories which helped feel less guilty lol). So today is another day, I just did my yoga this morning then physiotherapy. As I'm working from home there won't be any walking but I think I need a day off. I've got to be at 8 different places in the space of 6 hours, it's going to be one of those days. I don't think food will be any good, there's not enough in the fridge and the supermarket isn't one of those 8 places I need to be at 
Weekend Recap
10/23 161.1 lbs Full day of walking around shops, 14.000 steps
10/24 161.1 lbs Couch 2 5 k 1st day
10/25 162.3, no idea where that gain came from. Yesterday I did the 1st run of the C25k app and I was hungry afterwards but had grilled cod filet and broccoli for lunch with a Greek yogurt as desert. Dinner was some tofu and a yogurt as I wasn't really that hungry. That was it for the day. I was so pleased I could try running with my ankle, the physiotherapist gave me the go aheadI'm not sure I'll have time to do any exercise this week but next week I'm visiting family in England for the 1st time since the start of the pandemic, I'll have a week rest and I plan on bringing my exercise gear
10/26 162.3 still the same but at least no gain which is good as I had a piece of cake yesterday. My family is visiting from Geneva for the 1st time since my father's cancer diagnostic, so we had a little family get together, it's been rare with Covid. They're visiting all week so it won't be the best food wise, we have a few restaurants and other things planned before dad starts chemo. On Saturday I'm leaving for a weeks holiday visiting another side of the family in the uk but I'll have time to do exercise there. I walked to work today and I'm hoping to have time to go to the gym during my lunch hour to do the second C25k training.

I'm guessing that the scale didn't reset this morning, the other scale said 221.2
@schmoyew I takes everything I've got to keep one scale happy. I don't know how you manage two!
Lol it's because of my trust issues. I'm an accountant so I audit my scales to make sure they're not deceiving me. Some days they both say the same number, some days I think they each pull numbers out of a hat, I swear.
@schmoyew - That is funny because I'm an accountant and I check my weight on two scales too!9 -

Drove to work yesterday only to realize outage was cancelled and had to drive home since I left my computer here... guess I'm WFH the remainder of the week. BF sick (not COVID) so I'm glad I'm not at work. I don't want to share germs, covid or not. Doing everything in my power to boost immunity, avoid him, and keep house cleaned and sanitized in hopes I can skip out on being sick. Stopped at store on way home to stock up on sick items. Even had homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner (with leftovers today for us). Will try to take pup for a walk to get some good fresh air for myself later on today as well. I need to walk anyway (:

Previous Day's Comments10/19 - Bit of an uptick from a hectic evening stuffing my face so I could jump in the shower and get to bed in a timely manner. BF should be home about the same time as me tonight. I have dinner stuff made up, not sure if he'll eat it or not. We shall see. Wasn't overly hungry yesterday at lunch so only ate half. Dinner wasn't super large, either. Today I'll skip the breakfast burrito if they bring them, but I had to try yesterday since they said they were good. Water is good. Could've drank more yesterday but I was definitely running around a bit more unexpectedly. Lots of steps in, though! Today will likely be more of the same, steps wise. Will be sure to keep more water handy
10/20 - Shocked to be down. BF made it home safe last night. He didn't want my salmon so he made venison tenderloin with rice and steamed veggies (bringing salmon for lunch instead). Didn't eat until 8pm and I didn't go to bed until 9. Short night of sleep for me, but good to spend some time with him after 2 weeks. Apparently I'm in trouble with his dad because I couldn't make it up there. Unfortunately with outage work and us not being legally married, I don't get bereavement for his family and I couldn't take vacation time. I think he understood, but he hasn't met me and I think he's afraid he won't get to. BF doesn't have PTO left for this year so I think we may make a trip next year? We shall see. Another day of walking yesterday, though not as many steps since we did most of the work Monday (11000 vs 14000). Today we have to monitor contractors doing work and have 2 little tasks at hand to get done. Other than that, not much. Going to be a long 2 days for me since even the smallest tasks I'm not authorized to assist with (shadowing electricians... I'd rather not be accidentally shocked anyway). Days are longer when you're not doing much to pass time. Oh well. Keeping up with water well enough, which is good and keeps me making walking trips to the office haha!
10/21 - This is a false weight. Just as I came in to eat lunch, I was notified of another death in the family. BF's ex-FIL passed yesterday morning. It was a gut punch and I immediately lost my appetite and didn't eat anything. Had a nice filling dinner of homemade shrimp and crawfish etouffee made by Fam who came to say hello to us for a few minutes, though. Slept like a rock last night, I guess I was more tired than I thought because I fell asleep so quickly and didn't really move. I know I woke up a few times to roll over and deal with the dog stealing blankets, but I don't remember it like I normally would. Hopefully they're ready today to finish up outage, otherwise electricians have no more work and it'll be a long boring day. At least it's my Friday
10/22 - Little tick up as I ate more yesterday and dinner had some sodium. Over my minimum calorie goal by 200, but according to fitbit, I definitely was under maintenance by 1,000. Talked with doc about my meds and TOM coming for frequent long visits -- I think this week my body settled a bit more into it so we are giving a tad more time to see if I backtrack - if so, she'll adjust. If not, I'll continue on, nothing seems to be impacting me negatively. Yay! Not much else going on. Will take some time to catch up on everyone later!
10/23 - DNP
10/24 - Didn't weight yesterday because I had just chugged some water before I got the chance to weigh in. Today's uptick is brought to you by working at the land building a deer stand. It was fun, but it was definitely a struggle to keep up with water. Got a lot of steps in, though! Today should be a lazy football day. Early to bed since I have to commute again this week. Will focus on my water and better foods. Trying to fast as long as I can as well.
10/25 - Shocked to be down with a nice heavy steak dinner last night. Only got about 60 oz water so behind on that, too. Being slightly down on an early weigh in, after a weekend, as me surprised. I'll take it! This week I'm not sure I'll get too many steps. Hopefully I can find excuses to get up and move, though. I will be having nightly dinner leftovers for lunch this week, but we have a few good ones planned out. Also bought some extra steamable veggies I can pop in the microwave for a few minutes while prepping other things to supplement lunch. Today I'll have balsamic parmesan baked zucchini, roasted sweet potato, and steak. Yum! Also need to keep an eye on carbs since my fasting glucose is a tad higher in the normal range than Doc and I like, so I'll be doing my best to eat healthier in that regard. If y'all have advice, send it! I don't want to miss out on my veggies, but I need to cut down (not eliminate) the other carb-heavy stuff I typically eat like breads and such. I know I eat too much of it, I need to learn to portion that part of my life haha!

I'm guessing that the scale didn't reset this morning, the other scale said 221.2
@schmoyew I takes everything I've got to keep one scale happy. I don't know how you manage two!
Lol it's because of my trust issues. I'm an accountant so I audit my scales to make sure they're not deceiving me. Some days they both say the same number, some days I think they each pull numbers out of a hat, I swear.
@schmoyew - That is funny because I'm an accountant and I check my weight on two scales too!
This is funny!8 -

Day/Weight/Comment:
10/19: 298.8 (-2.4 lbs) 😀
10/20: 297.8 ⬇️ (-1 lb) Did upper body workout yesterday 30 minutes. Today's plan is get some aerobics, elliptical steps, and some dancing in.
10/21: 296.4 ⬇️ (- 1.4 lbs) Very happy with this loss, even though I as surprised with this much loss this morning, since I did go over on my calories yesterday. I did do some aerobic exercise; However, I was feeling lazy yesterday, so I didn't do the all the exercises I had planned to do.
10/22: 296.2 ⬇️ (-0.2 oz) Was a good food day, stayed under daily calorie limit.
10/23: 296.2
10/24: Rest Day
10/25: 295.8 .⬇️ (-0.4 oz)
10/26: 298.2 ⬆️ (+2.4) Over ate yesterday on salty food, and a lot of this gain is water weight. However, I need to remember this saying ( Don't Give Up What I Really Want! For What I Want Now.) Current wants sabotage future wants. I need to keep this in mind whenever I'm tempted to overeat. But sometimes it is hard to do. 🤐😥

Day/Weight/Comment
10/19: 224.7 - Down is down right? I've been feeling like my loss has been slowing down, and it has, but I'm still on about a 12 lbs per month pace since the beginning. It's just that the past month has been about 10 lbs so it seems a lot slower. Anyway, my cardio is getting to be better than ever which is honestly all I wanted. 8 months ago I was on supplemental O2 24/7 after COVID pneumonia, so to now say my cardio is better than when I was a high school athlete really makes me appreciate the work I've put in. Long blurb but just a thought I had this morning.
10/20: 224.7 - Hey not up is good! I gotta stop hitting the snooze button in the morning. It takes away precious workout minutes. I want to workout at least 15-20 minutes longer than the 30 minute ride I do.
10/21: 224.0 - The scale I usually use said 222.2 but I don't trust a 2.5 lbs swing when the secondary scale says a .7 lbs swing. If it's that low tomorrow, I'll go with that. Didn't do 45-50 minutes on the bike as planned, but did 40 and my legs are dead. Stretching all day so I can go again tomorrow. I wanted to be under 224 by 10/25 4 days to get there!
10/22: 221.6 - Alright both scales were in agreement with this so I'll absolutely take it! I'm keeping the pace I wanted to be under 200 by Christmas!
10/23: 220.5
10/24: 220.0 - I rarely post on weekends but this was something to get excited about! So close to 80 lbs down. So close to being in the teens. This week is going to be exciting (hopefully). Work hard and push through plateaus and you are rewarded big on the other side! Going to see Hamilton tonight and wearing some new, smaller dress clothes. So excited!
10/25: 220.0 - I'm guessing that the scale didn't reset this morning, the other scale said 221.2 and I didn't work out this morning so I definitely expect to be higher but I'll probably work out tonight. Motivation to get to the teens.
10/26: 222.7 - OOF a bit of a bump here. Some would say the cheesesteak, fries, boneless wings and not working out yesterday is responsible. Eating good today and drinking tons of water to help flush the system. Set a new PR on the Peloton for a 20 minute ride so that felt good at least. And like I said, I wanted to be below 224 by yesterday and even with this bump, I am. Next goal is under 212 by Thanksgiving.

Goal weight for this round: Maintaining 116/117 or dropping a little bit
Previous days10/19 116.6 post run Did not post, the day got away from me.10/26 118.2 post run. Did a 4 mile run this morning and it went much better with my contacts in. The rain was pretty intense at one point but it almost made it more fun. On the bright side, all the rain added some weight to me and caused me to have that much more energy output. Food plan today is a protein smoothie with vanilla protein powder, plums, cashews, kale, ginger, mushroom powders, and inulin. Lunch will be paneer pakora with rice and dinner will be tacos with very lean ground beef.
10/20 116.4 post run. Got a 5 mile run in this morning which felt pretty good. Food was on track all day yesterday as well. Looking forward to another good day with food and squeezing in some strength training on my lunch today too.
10/21 117.6 I think it was. This is a normal blip up for me because of where I’m at with my cycle. I started the morning with a 45 minute spin bike ride to mix it up a little bit because I’ve been increasing my running distance a bit this week/wanted to give different parts of my body a rest. Food was good yesterday and hopefully it will be again today, too! Work will be busy but that’s always a good thing because it makes the day go by fast! I plan on going for a walk during my lunch today too, it’s supposed to be in the 70s today which is pretty warm for this late in October. Happy almost Friday everyone!
10/21 Went away to NH
10/22 Camping in NH
10/23 Came home from NH
10/24 Did not weigh this morning. We went to NH to go camping on Friday night but headed up Thursday to beat the Friday traffic. The foliage was still kind of decent, so it was nice to see all the colors in the mountains. Camping/hiking was fun but I indulged in too much wine and felt it all day yesterday and also pretended calories didn’t count during said misery lol. I got veggie/paneer tikka masala, paratha (didn’t eat all of it though), basmati rice, and veggie pakora. That take out endedup being both my lunch and dinner yesterday because it was so much food. Food on Friday was also pretty indulgent but at least I did a 4 ½ mile run that morning. Food has been good today though. I had half a protein cookie for breakfast and lunch was a cheese and cracker plate I made (2 light brie cheese, 1.5 oz cheddar gruyere cheese, sliced up apple, a mini cucumber, snap peas, and fig olive crisp toasts/crackers from Trader Joes). The cheese plate was yummy and made me feel fancy 😊.
10/25 118.something didn’t have my glasses on when I weighed so it was hard to see it…maybe I did that on purpose? Ran 5 miles this morning and did my strength training on my work. It was a rather rainy morning and I realized I need to start wearing my contacts when it’s rainy because I can’t see a thing with the drops on my glasses and it being dark in the morning (even with a headlamp it doesn’t help too much). So, I need to remember contacts tomorrow morning if there’s rain! Had my smoothie for breakfast and then some crackers and cheese for my lunch/snack. Making burgers for dinner tonight with oven fries.
I’m also super excited because the cookbook I pre-ordered back in the spring called “Rise and Run” by Shalane Flannagan and Eyse Kopecky should be arriving today at some point! It’s breakfast-themed and also has some running info included in it. So, I’m looking forward to reading through that today or tomorrow depending on what time it arrives. I have their two other cookbooks and meal planner notebook which are some of my favorite cookbooks I have 😊.
