I like to dance in celebration of those who inspire me on this journey. Don’t be surprised if I ask you for a song to add to my workout playlist.

6/26 193.8 (-.2) A long walk with the dogs today and then lunch with my sister.
6/27 195.4 (+1.4) Had a wonderful lunch yesterday as my indulgence meal.
6/28 194.8 (+.8) Hike with the dogs today. Feeling tired but more energized on the diet front.
6/29 193.6 (-.4) Busy with several meetings. No organized exercise. My meal service dropped off some really healthy options yesterday. I’m hopeful this is going to help me break through and get back on the downward trend.
6/30 193.4 (-.6) Swimming today and several business meetings.
7/1 194.0 (0) Had a larger lunch yesterday. Not surprised. 7/2 195.4 (+1.4) Surprise bounce. Headed out to an art festival today with some of my friends. What a fun way to get some exercise!
7/3 194.4 (+.4)
7/4 193.0 (-1.0) My sister and I hiked yesterday…4.7 miles, 639 ft elevation gain. I have so much more endurance than I had last year at this time and this was at a faster pace, but it wasn’t as difficult a hike this time so it’s hard to compare. I’ll be really happy to be down this round, so I need to really pay attention today and make my breakfasts and snacks for the week. Hanging in there. Happy 4th of July!
7/5 194.0 (0) Darn! A few extra treats for the 4th of July. I did get the dogs out for a good walk. Swimming today.5 -
I’m in for my second round. Met some great friends the last round! Last round I lost 2 pounds! This round will be tricky because there is a holiday in it and we have a party with all the food and the drinks. We’ll see.

7/05 - 154.8 - So figured out what in the world was going on. TOM! Still dealing with some TOM bloat, TMI isn't great (typical TOM complication for me), and a 4th of July dinner of smoked ribs and sides yesterday certainly isn't helping the scale. Back on it today. Getting cracks in windshield fixed this morning (they come to us), shipping ma's birthday gift and picking up a package held at post this afternoon and work otherwise. No workout as I was absolutely exhausted this morning. No BigBro to drive so tomorrow through Friday I plan on waking up at my normal time to take him to work and do a workout instead. BF is doing his best to drive up with me Saturday to pick all 3 kiddos up and go do something together. No idea food today but I'm not particularly hungry at this point so I think I'll fast until lunch. Plus water water water!
Previous Day's Comments6/26 - DNP
6/27 - No proper TMI for a couple days with lots and lots of sodium bloat. Back on track today. Finally got access to my new company's wellness and connect everything. I'm also trying to figure out my schedule to allow me to work out throughout the week without missing work or dropping off/picking up BigBro. It'll likely still take a few weeks to really get into a nice routine, but I'm getting there. Not sure what today holds. Goddaughter's last t-ball game tonight so we will be going to that. It's at 7, but we have to pick up Bigbro from work. Won't have time to do that, come home to cook, then drive back out so I have a feeling we will be eating out. Will focus on healthier options during the workday instead. Also focusing on water and getting up to move frequently throughout the day, even if I'm not using the bike, rower, or bodyweight moves for a proper workout.
6/28 - Still holding on to water and TMI... sigh. I did get out for an evening walk with the pup last night after the rain passed. Hoping to do something similar today. Fitbit died this morning so steps from about 8am to 11am were not counted but there were some! Realize I posted on the wrong date yesterday so I adjusted that today. Water and watching food today as yesterday wasn't great food-wise with the t-ball game and eating out. Grilled or smoked chicken tonight, based on what's thawing. Training today and starting on my first ever project! Eeek I'm nervous. But it's keeping me busy so I'm okay with that.
6/29 - Finally losing some of the water weight. Got a little TMI movement, but I'm not quite back to normal in that regards so likely holding on to some extra weight there, as well. Water was good yesterday at 90oz. BF took BigBro to work this morning so the SD and I went out for a "photography walk" to take pictures of sunrise with the big camera. Only to come home and realize my SD card reader is MIA... Just ordered a new one, though, which should be here Friday to see how they turned out for real. I got more steps in before work today than I ever did while commuting to work! Plus some quality time. Remote work has been fantastic. I have a couple days of posts to catch up on so I'm going to do that now. Not sure food for today, but will try to keep it in check throughout the day in case dinner is a bit more calorie-dense or unhealthy. Depending on dinner (if we go to Fam's or stay home) will take pup for another walk like we did last night. She's loving the remote work as well haha!
6/30 - I have zero clue what's going on with my body. I will say I'm quite sore in the lower legs (mostly shin/calves, a little in thighs) from all the walking up and down the hills in my new neighborhood recently. Tomorrow I'm off work (every other Friday off) and BF is able to be mobile with his work so we are getting out of house to do something with kids. Saturday I drive kids to Oklahoma to meet their mom so they can spend a week with her for the 4th (BF is on go-live, working 7 days a week starting Saturday until the 15th). On the 9th I go back to Oklahoma to meet mom to get kids back for remainder of summer. Hoping the travel doesn't shoot my weight straight up. Hanging in there, drinking my water, and trying to get extra movement where I can. Food will fall into place soon, I'm sure.

07/03 ……204.6 ….. (Trend weight 203.4) And this is what happens when you accumulate fluid in your ankles and feet folks. Obviously, yesterday was not waterpill day. Today is, so I should see improvement tomorrow. Again, so hard to gauge how my actual weight is doing like this. I take my pill every other day (but not when traveling. I may miss a few and really bloat up at times). Yesterday was a great day. Stayed within calories, closed all my circles on my fitbit, took a walk and also used the stationary bike. My scale shows no increase in my fat on my body also so that is good (and an indication). I hate this guessing game.
07/04 ……203.6 ….. (Trend weight 203.4) So this is where I sit after a waterpill yesterday. Not real happy with the number. I had all great numbers on fitbit yesterday closing all circles and having higher numbers than I’ve had in awhile. I’ve got more work to do! My goal each round is to lose ANYTHING and I am 0.2 down today from start weight. Hopefully tomorrow will yield an even better number but…….today is no waterpill so I will be swelling. And, of course, it is a holiday, a food and grilling holiday. Ugh! I am just going to trust the process and push through the good habits regardless of scale. On another note, My oldest daughter Bethany will be in our little local parade today with the 3 DGS’s. Looking forward to lining the street to see them. Have a safe day everyone!
07/05 ……205.0 ….. (Trend weight 203.6) An overnight jump. I’m not surprised. No waterpill yesterday, 3 ½ hours sleep last night and a holiday bbq, and desserts/snacks that I should have avoided. Not a good way to end the round. Up 1.2 lbs.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

This is my first round!
Day, Weight, Comment
6/26: 158.2 - today is my “relaxed eating” day so I fully anticipate a gain on the scale tomorrow. I will take it because I feel great, I still tracked all of my food (a huge win for me), I still got some movement in, and I’m ready to jump into tomorrow!
6/27: 157.9 - feeling a little under the weather today, but pleasantly surprised at my weigh in this morning. I’m feeling extra hungry and a little headachy today but I had a good workout this morning so that definitely helped.
6/28: 156.9 - yesterday ended up being a great day! I was able to avoid a binge, I ate well within my calorie range, and had a good workout. I started this morning big with a workout but we have pizza every Tuesday night, so I generally expect a little gain on Wednesday mornings.
6/29: 156.9 - I stayed exactly the same as yesterday so I’m thrilled! Here’s to another day of tracking!
6/30: 155.8 - wow! Y’all today is a great day to have a great day! I am just feeling incredible this week! Tracking and exercise and water, oh my!
7/01: 154.8 - how is it already July?! I have a planned higher calorie day today so not expecting a loss tomorrow. I’ll still be tracking, and that’s always the goal for me!
7/02: 152.9 - I’m about to get my workout in for the day, and I commit to tracking all of my food today as well! I also really need to focus on water, because I didn’t have enough yesterday.
7/03: 154.6 - up a bit from yesterday. Still not enough water, not a ton of movement, and loads of salt, so I’m not surprised!!
7/04: 153.7 - my favorite part of this challenge is how much it’s keeping me accountable to tracking. It’s been hugely motivating and I can’t wait to do it again!
7/05: 153.9 - round 191 results down 4.3 pounds! To say I’m thrilled is an understatement! I have been tracking like a pro and, go figure, it’s working. So I’ll see you in round 192!!!4 -

SW: ?6/24 176.6 back from vacation. was i stressing over gaining weight so i didn't eat as much, or was i not stress eating? kinda like that old tootsie pop commercial, "the world may never know".ROUND 191
6/25 175.8 don't believe everything you see. it HAS to be my scale messing with me again because everyone knows i don't lose almost a pound overnight. someday i will invest in a better scale. until then....i'm enjoying the tiny fibs it tells me every once in a while.
SW: 174.4
Day/Weight/Comment
6/26: 174.4 i will keep accepting these lower weights my scale is spitting out, just as i will accept the higher ones when it decides to tell the truth. maybe it's all my fault, and i should change the batteries? I forgot to mention my failures that have occurred since vacation. i am ashamed to say i have had a set back in my quitting smoking. i know that i will have to get that under control as well as my eating habits. i have also failed in my walking. i will need to get motivated and include that also. i have emotional stress in my life right now, which i see an end to in the future but that will take a few months. my weeks vacation visiting with family was nothing but smiles and laughter. driving home my failures began, and i realized i must do something besides diet and exercise for myself. i will continue to recognize my failures, but i will not beat myself up over them. a slow and steady path in the right direction is what i have chosen.
6/27: 174.4 i looked up how many calories i should be eating if i am sedentary and oh lordy lordy they're really trying to starve people! i did my check in yesterday and "whoop whoop" my neck is 1/2 in thinner! wow! was that a good feeling! i still haven't gotten back to my walks outside. i did spend 3 hours walking in a circle around my livingroom yesterday, and i think i am going to start calling the time i struggle with the dog to take her medicine "my cardio workout".
6/28: 174.8 OK scale... i must weigh 174.(something). my calories were good, my macros were good. my exercise was non-existant. aaarrrgggh, i thought getting back to exercising would be easier than this.
6/29: 174 changed the batteries in my scale, and my weight remained about the same. i'm owing my scale an apology now for accusing it of lying to me. my calorie intake was super low yesterday, i wasn't feeling very hungry. maybe it was because of the migraine lurking to attack me last night, but it's almost noon time today and i still have no appetite. i was thinking earlier how great this group is. no one is judgmental and everyone so supportive. it's excellent therapy without the giant price tag.
6/30: 173.6 another day of too low intake, but again great macros. i forced myself to go for my walk yesterday. 1.9mi @3mph. when i got home i was questioning my sanity. 2 weeks without walking, last night felt like a nightmare, but i'm sure it'll get better again. i am trying to do my walks 3-4 times a week.
7/: 172.4 calorie intake was at "sustain" level, so i'm shocked to see this loss. macros pretty good.
7/2: 174.0 calories were good. it had rained all day, so i never went on my walk. weighed myself in the afternoon, after already eating. today i will be hooking up with my sister and her family. we are going to a dinner theatre so i am expecting a gain for tomorrow.
7/3: 175.4 that's a huge move in the wrong direction. i went 700 calories over my allowed amount yesterday... shameful. i will be going on a cruise in 2 weeks, i am already anticipating the work i will have to do when i get back from that.
7/4: 173.6 of course there's a cookout today. it shouldn't be much of a problem through
7/5: 173.8 yes, i went over my calories again, 545 this time. if i could have gotten some walking in like i swore i would get back to things wouldn't be so bad. unfortunate for me, it's been nothing but rain and looks like continued rain for about another week.4 -

6/26 : 210.2
6/27 : 209.8 Happy for every loss no matter how small. They all add up in the end. 😊
6/28 : 209.8 I had an appointment with the orthopedist today. Looks like I will be needing a knee replacement as soon as I decide I want it. Very large patella spur as well as bone on bone. Sigh
6/29 208.8 I’ll take it. Very happy with this number, not what I thought it would be. Anything in the downward direction is wonderful.
6/30 207 Wow!! I’m thinking this is fluid loss from the cortisone shot in my knee on Tuesday. I’ve been good, but not that good. Visiting my mom for a few days so no weigh in tomorrow or Saturday.
7/01 DNW

7/03 206.8 Very pleasant surprise today after traveling.
7/04 206 Don’t know how the weight is finally going down but I’m very happy about it. Thinking hard about what I eat and drink. My 60th birthday is in Dec and I want to be in the 180’s as a gift to myself. 23 weeks and about 20 pounds that’s my new goal. I’ve spent my middle years being overweight, my childhood was mixed between being heavier and normal weight. I would like the last third of my life to be closer to a normal weight.
7/05 205.2 Wow! I don’t know how this weight is coming off so fast all of a sudden. I have been very good about logging all food. Was outside gardening yesterday and it was a hot and sweaty day.6 -

Day, Weight, Comment
6/26 - 166.7 - 14,500 steps / 74 active minutes. Had a few/several adult beverages and didn’t really track but ate mindfully. Sandwich, veggies and a few treats at the tea. Then 2 tiny pieces of pizza and a small amount of chips. This number is mostly puff and water not worried at all. I work at this so I can enjoy these days. Oh … I had many people tell me that I was looking good and that they see me walking lol.
6/27 - 167.2* - 15,300 / 90. Baby shower lots of sitting, and hot weather!! Did get a walk in. SO called to say he should be flying home today. Happy but it kinda means it will take longer to drop back down, eh will see. No hugs needed I was expecting this and it will get back down soon, all part of it.
6/28 - 168.1 - 16,700 / 113. Hooray SO is home and my tummy is full of sushi rice. Enjoyed a nice sushi picnic. Sleep was horrible. Not worried about the number, but I am pretty bloated over these last few days. Hoping for a nice light dinner. Been a little behind on the post readings hopefully I can catch up soon. Keep at it all!!
6/29 - 168.9 - 11,100 / 68. Hit my June Challenge of 398.1 Km for the month. Just been hitting my minimums right now. Scale increase due to Pasta, SO home, minimums TOM, alcohol, terrible sleep, TMI and family events. Interesting my water % did hit optimal level, it's usually in the low range. Fat % is the same as 165 and muscle is up too. The body is an interesting thing. Long weekend coming up this might be a few days before I go down again.
6/30 - 170.2* - 11,200 / 58. Another low key day with nothing aligning. Visited friends camping and had hot dogs and snacks.
7/01 - DNW - 14,700/89
7/02 - DNW - 13,500/47
7/03 - 173.1 - 10,100/35
7/04 - 174.7* - 13,200/60 - Lots of travel and visiting with a little stress and a big bag of cheese puffs! SO is away working again so I should lose some of this puff. I still believe it's mostly water weight. Happy we are starting a new 10! Fresh starts!!
7/05 - 172.6 - 20,000/131 - Got my walks in and back at it. Way way way behind in post readings.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/26: 133.2 - Well, I was over in calories yesterday but did drink a ton of water and got both my workouts in, Excellent sleep for once even though I went to bed quite late.
6/27: 132.7 - Ate pretty well - balanced macros. Need to get back to not eating after 8pm though. Good workout and a dog walk (not ours - it was fun!).
6/28: 132.9 - Got my normal workouts in although I was a little tired in the afternoon. Dinner was a little heavier than usual (or I ate a bit more). Good sleep.
6/29: 134.0 - Had two social events yesterday that derailed my eating. Normal workouts though.
6/30: 134.0 - Normal workouts and cleaning out my closet yesterday. I’m now 10 pairs of shoes lighter. :-) I figured high heels weren’t really something I was going to wear anymore now that I’m retired. I also realized that all my old work shoes and clothes were black, black, and more black. I’m excited to bring more color into my outerwear and shoes.
7/1: 132.9 - Happy first of July! Hard to believe I’ve been on this MFP journey for the last 10 months and for the most part have stuck to my workouts and eating plans. Even though we are focused on 10 days at a time here, it is certainly helpful to look at the long game (both backwards and forwards) especially on those days where you gain a pound or two.
7/2: 132.9 - Went to the ball game last night with our neighbors and had a lovely time. I was worried about what ballpark food would do for my calories, but it was needless worry. When Impossible burgers cost $16 and fries are $8, you don’t end up over indulging :-). I got all my workouts in and ate well for the most part.
7/3: 132.9 - A little surprised since I ate every single calorie including exercise calories allotted. Good workouts.
7/4: 132.9 - Got my workout in. Had 3 baking projects going yesterday, which meant of course I wasn’t paying full attention and ended up forgetting the baking soda in one item. I was able to salvage it (they were twice baked crackers), but not my best effort. 3 more projects today but I need to pay attention because we invited folks over for dessert this evening and today’s efforts are what I’m serving.
7/5: 132.5 - Pre-logged which helped me stay under calories. Who knew that a slice of pie had that many calories!?!

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)
**Comments apply to previous day**
SW RND 191 120.0 AW 119.2
6/26 118.5 GKI 6.4
6/27 120.5 GKI 12.7 Can sum this up in 3 words - HOT HOMEMADE BREAD!!! 2 slices buttered and Greek Salad with steak. No TMI in a couple of days Why does bread/wheat taste so good and treat me so bad(ly)??? Not worried about this bump.
6/28 120.5 GKI 13.0 Gotta give the bread away!
6/29 119.5 GKI 13.1 DH has been having balance issues for a week and is waiting for a referral. He just called to find out the statues-in the past it has taken only a few days-he was just told it takes up to 2 weeks to be processed! Meanwhile, he doesn’t like anything or anyone and yada yada. . . Sorry, it’s getting old.
6/30 118.5 GKI 6.4 “Grumpy old man” and “getting grumpy old woman” had no eating plans in place. He ate the left over egg salad and I ate the leftover piece of rib eye. Around 5 or 6 we went to In-n-Out. I got the Double Double Protein style (no bun, wrapped in lettuce) with no spread (Russian dressing) added tomato and grilled onion as well as part of DH’s fresh onion. Cal over by almost 200, total carbs 9, protein and fat both over. This weekend involves stock car races (= possible junk food) and 4th of July community “picnic.” Life is good, we have to learn to roll with the punches. Or as I said some time back Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️
7/1 118.5 118.0 GKI 8.7 Edited weight after 10 oz (wt) of coffee and TMI! I had one glass of red wine yesterday.
7/2 119.0 GKI 12.1 Golden Corral, UGH TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL! Okay, I wasn’t really but I ate salad, cauliflower, overcooked hamburger patty, fried chicken (1 pc - the skin is the best!) and tater tots and 1 hush puppy. At least I skipped dessert!
7/3 118.0 GKI 8.3 [cal +305 carbs -20 pro +11 fat. +28 (beef and cheddar)] Going to stock car races and early fireworks this evening (LVMS Night of Fire) neighbor made a charcuterie box to avoid junk food, I plan to eat before we go. My original plan was to eat ALL OF THE JUNK FOOD😮 Hoping to be strong!
7/4 119.0 GKI 10.2 🇺🇸HAPPY 4th OF JULY🇺🇸 Yesterday Great Greek 1/2 salad with 4 oz steak, no pita. My neighbor made a charcuterie box to take to the races. I may have had a total 1.5 oz of meat and cheese but the deli chicken tasted sweet. Fortunately only tiny round slices - about the dice of pizza size pepperoni. Did eat three small pieces of DH’s soft pretzel - yummy for the salt, the pretzel - not so much.
7/5 121.0 GKI 9.8 very disappointed at fourth July picnic last night. I had two pieces of fried chicken(a thigh and a breast), one green grape, one bite of pineapple, all the fruit that was left were sweet melons, bread, baked beans with sugar. They were out of potato salad(which I don’t eat.) Oh and cupcakes for dessert, nope, didn’t eat one. So this damage is from the breading on the chicken and a sugar free whiskey sour. I’m glad I had eaten earlier in the day but my stomach is growling now (8:30 am) which is very unusual.4 -
Round 191
Ended where I started. Hopefully the next ten days goes a little better!
@jlh528: That's my life story. I lost several pounds during round 191 - before the 4th - but then gained back 2 at the end. I did lose a little over a pound for round 191. I'll take it. Hope I can take more off the next round!

7/01 361.2 2058 – Well the end of the month (and quarter end) is over and the close was stressful, but I don’t see how I gained 3.8 pounds, but I did. My steps were down some days, but my eating was ok, not clean but under calories. Oh well, I am not going to stress about it. Just going to keep on keeping on and work on eating cleaner and do more moving
7/02 360.6 5005 – Happy to see I am down today.
7/03 356.8 5085 – I did not lose almost 4 pounds in a day, and I ate terrible yesterday. Not a binge but not good. My body is crazy, but I understand it. That is why I did not flip over the gains when I knew I was not going over calories. I had fried catfish today and fries. Tonight, if I get hungry I will have some strawberries.
7/04 355.8 4744 – Yesterday was a little over calories but I had a nice big salad and I fish was not beef. Today has not been too bad so far. I will be under calories. I am having a salad for dinner and had a nice big breakfast late afternoon.
7/05 355.8 Well I am down to 355.8! Lowest weight this year! Started at 380. Yay! I am so looking forward to getting a pedicure. Right now, I am too big to fit the chairs with bad knees also. When I was closer to 300 that was one of the things I enjoyed for a little while. I will get back there again. One pound at a time. I didn’t think I would lose anything this round, but I got back on track and managed a nice lose. On to the next round! I will see you all. I will be more supportive the next round now that quarter end is over at work

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010, weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Outpatient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO, the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively every day. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Every day I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.6 -

I don’t want to waste it so I might be gaining the next few days to finish the bottle while only drinking about 3/4 cup at a time. After this bottle of Keifer and some remaining Raw cheese, going to stop eating raw cheese and whole milk keifer until hitting weight loss goals.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/26 / 167.8 / Yesterday I got my exercise by walking around our campground. The weather was pretty decent for most of the day. Stayed on track with my food and got a decent amount of water and the big post vacation whoosh I was expecting occurred this morning. I still have a ways to go but the worst of the bulk is gone. Today we take our friends on our boat and then head home to get ready to go back to work in the morning.
6/27 / 165.2 / Yesterday I got my 10,000 steps by walking to and from the boat while we were at the lake, and then with a final walk before bed with my husband and dog. The weather was beautiful and I had another very good day. Feeling much better as the vacation bloat clears away.
6/28 / 163.6 / Back down to my maintenance range and feeling great. Yesterday I got my 10,000 steps and did my long ride on the Peloton (60 minutes). Work was busy getting back into the swing of things and we were plagued with IT issues. Into the office today!
6/29 / 162 / Today didn't go well. I bickered with my husband before work about something trivial, and then work itself felt like a disaster. I didn't get my lunch walk (first time since I've been back, I think) and it just kept going downhill. Doesn't help when I recognize my attitude isn't helping but I can't pull out of the funk. Maybe one of the worst headspace days I've had in a while as my work stress is high and I'm letting it creep into other areas. Supposed to talk on the phone with a friend tonight so I think I'll combine that with a walk as I'm currently wasting my time I should be on the bike.
6/30 / 163.2 / Better day today. Did a 60 min Peloton ride. We are at the trailer now for three nights.
7/1 / 163.4 / Canada Day today so I'm off work. Sun is shining. Hoping to get lots of movement and lots of relaxation.
7/2 / 162 / We did get a 60 minute walk in yesterday but beyond that we were pretty inactive. The trailer is small and there was a huge thunderstorm at night so we played games and then put ourselves to bed early. Good day.
7/3 / 165.2 / Today was a food fest.. didn't go crazy but had two big events, a 75th birthday party for a friend that was at a brunch buffet and an Indian takeout for another friend's birthday. Happy with how I navigate these events now compared to before. I also got 45 minutes in on the Peloton.
7/4 / 164 / Work gave us an extra long weekend for Canada Day so I spent my extra day off being active. Did 75 minutes of Peloton and walked over 5 miles with my husband and dog around our town with a few fun stops for lunch along the way. The skies were very cloudy but we made the best of it.
7/5 / 164 / Happy to have gotten back into maintenance range after my vacation. This round was great. Today I did walking for my exercise as my legs needed a break from the bike.5 -

/nothing/ Time to buckle down before July. I am eating away from home for four out of the five weekends in July, and the other one is a holiday weekend.
6/28: 216
/some “nominal” dumbbell work/ I lost a pound even though lunch and supper were both restaurant meals. I have some major work to do if I plan to lower my 10-day average.
6/29: 216
/yoga and spinning/ I would have thought a pound or two would have sweated off. I did eat back a couple hundred exercise calories….
6/30: 216
/grass mowing/ My current habit of rounding to the nearest whole number hides a bit of progress. But, let’s face it, when my goal is over ten pounds away… whole numbers tell the story just fine.
On another note, I don’t think eating back my exercise calories is serving me well. Neither is my weakness for salty food.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
I know this is a late response, but just got round to listening to this piece! It immediately took me straight back to DD's wedding day, she walked down the aisle on DH's arm to this wonderful piece, on that day it was played on the wonderful Chesterfield (famous twisted spire) church's organ by best man who is an excellent organ player. Yes, thank you for that Jeffrey, really enjoyed it. I'm sure that your DW & cousin gave a wonderful performance and was enjoyed by all the residents, families & staff alike xx.2
