7/21-168-Nice ride on the horse in the morning; we had an unusually cool breezy morning with our predicted 104 high in the afternoon. Today I get to go quilt with the Quilts of Honor ladies that make quilts for veterans; it is a wonderful time. Tonight my local guild meets to make quilted Christmas stockings for the Children’s Crisis Center, we are calling it Christmas in July so we don’t have to scramble at the last minute in December.

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)

7/16 118.5 GKI 6.0 Yesterday was a good day. OMAD was ham, 2 eggs, and 32 slices of a new to me keto bread recipe from Wholesome Yum - made with hearts of palm.
**EDIT - Oops, I see the recipe was from “ibreatheimhungry.” Maybe that’s why I couldn’t find it
7/17 119.0 GKI 6.5 Homemade “pulled” pork and squash medley.
7/18 119.5 GKI 10.1 1/2 GG salad w/steak & 1/8 pita and had made strawberry whipped cream sweetened with vanilla bean SF syrup (less than 1/2c portion) **Post post edit - 3-4 days no TMI, finally relieved.
7/19 118.5 GKI 4.6 Finished GG salad early, went to the Apple store, got gasoline (!) and made a hamburger patty for myself had it on two thin slices of the bread I made the other day and ate one cup of leftover squash, pepper and onions. Nothing after 6PM - aiming for 16-18 hour fast which I intend to break with my version of BPC.
7/20 119.5 GKI 6.2 @4:30 AM Rt calf cramp woke me at 2:30 and 4. Gave up, got up, sitting in the dark LR. Community Bingo tonight, no idea what they will have for dinner. Fasting since lun-ner around 2 yesterday.
7/21 119.0 GKI 13.6 19 hour fast. Spent several hours visiting DD#2, DGD#3 and DGGS#1. 😁😁😁I was doing great until the cookies after Bingo! They weren’t even good!!!! 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I’ll recover.

07/18 -200.8- (Trend weight 200.2)

07/19 -200.6- (Trend weight 200.3) The scale is finally leveling off. There is even a small 0.2 drop today. Maybe it will turn completely back around and wander back into Onederland. I took a long walk of over 30 minutes in my neighborhood with my son last night. The hardest part was my own driveway and my own street due to the steep inclines. The rest of it was broken up between hills, inclines and flat areas. Just random enough to make it possible for me. I don’t think my son was too thrilled but I know he is trying to help me keep my heart strong. He took it all more seriously when he saw me on the heart monitor at home with all the wires. Truthfully though, he needs the movement as much or more than me. He is 5’ 6” and weighs about 306 pounds. His BMI is over 50. He is 26 years old but his autism keeps him from fully understanding the gravity of his situation. I hope to get him out even more. Also, to get him dancing with me again! My blood pressure ran low all day yesterday. About 98/52 most of the day and evening. This morning running about the same again. I have no idea if I should be taking the BP meds when it runs this low. Anyone happen to know anything about that? I’ll also google what I can.

07/20 -199.8- (Trend weight 200.2) Still not doing anything any differently but it’s finally turning back around. In fact, no water pill yesterday, no TMI x 2 today and a little less exercise/movement yesterday, but here I am, dipping into the Onederland pool again. People are slowly starting to re-enter my daily life. Gotta stay the course here!

07/21 -199.0 - (Trend weight 200.1) Nice drop on the scale. My son and I danced for 23 minutes last night. I also rode on the stationary bike for 16 minutes. My blood pressure is still staying really low after the Covid recovery. I called the cardiologist office yesterday for advice on taking/not taking my meds but no call back. I have not taken them in 2 nights now. Even without the meds the numbers are running around 95/52. At times, the lower number is even hitting in the high 40’s. My BPM’s remain good at 88-92. Hopefully I can get some guidance today. I am back to babysitting my DGS on weekends starting in the morning. I can’t wait to see him tonight!

7/19 - 165.9* - 12.900/66. Visited friends campsite. Had a great campfire steak dinner and a couple adult beverages, wonderful night. SO leaves for work Thursday so I've penciled in some big walks maybe oceanside as I think it's going to get real' warm. No hugs needed I still feel in control.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/16 SW: 136 – Two days ago I was at 135 and then my weight bounced up. I hope it bounces back down again. Went kayaking with hubby yesterday on a beautiful lake in the Sierras

7/17: 136, walked 4 miles and stayed under calorie goal.Did have very thin pizza, salad and a glass of wine. Pizza was Dandelion greens and cherry tomatoes.

7/18: 136.8 Ugh, the scale is going the wrong way. I’m not sure why. I’ve been weighing and journaling. I’m under my calories and not eating my exercise calories most days. I don’t think it’s sodium. Sigh. I’ll keep chugging along and stay on plan.

7/19: 136 – Got into the Triscuits after dinner, which is bad. Although I only used 100 calories of my exercise calories, I was expecting a bump up due to salt. Surprised the scale went back down. I need to get back into losing mode. I have two trips in July. I have challenges when we travel and eat out.

7/20 – 136

7/21 – 135.8 Yesterday, went for a 6 mile hike up in the Sierras. 3 miles to the top of the mountain and 3 miles down. Wildflowers and views were stunning. Went out for lunch and had a glass of wine, arugula salad with feta and strawberries, yummy

Hi. I'm trying to break out of this 4lb yo-yo I've been allowing since last fall. Have done a slow 10lb backslide since last summer and am feeling the effects of these regained lbs. Summer seems to have finally arrived so my mood is definitely lifting. Looking forward to losing 15!

7/16: 133.4 - Birthday cake and takeout Indian were the majority of my calories yesterday. Didn’t get my usual workout of Jazzercise, but did take two walks. Great sleep last night!
7/17: 133.6 - Leftover Indian food. Had a couple of good workouts plus we’re washing windows, etc in prep for some house guests. That added a bunch of active points on my watch.
7/18: 133.8 - Still working on that leftover Indian food. Kept calories within target.
7/19: 133.4 - Not sure why the slight dip weight-wise because I ate sooo many carbs yesterday. Good workout and good sleep.
7/20: 132.7 - Normal workouts, good eating, baked some sourdough bread and good sleep.
7/21: 131.2 - Normal workouts and good eating yesterday. However, even though I went to bed early, I slept terribly because I kept waking up. I always seem to get a whoosh when I don’t sleep well which is opposite of what all the research tells you.

@gbj4120 congrats on the milestone!! That’s awesome!

@AR10at50 so cool that you are quilting with Quilts of Honor! They or a similar organization made a quilt for my grandfather, a WW2 vet, and he found it very touching 🥺 It was featured in his local newspaper and there was a little ceremony in his living room. Good work being part of that!

Exercised 60 min treadmill steady incline.

For those suffering from covid . Hoping you recover quickly . Covid can make you feel like crap. Drink lots of fluids and keep your nutrition up.
As an icu nurse covid is still out there. We still see a few patients a week in the hospital . Most are vaccinated and boosted but they don’t end up on my unit. Last fall / winter when delta hit we were always full and we lost so many and some were young. Yes covid is still out there but each round it is lessening but you still have to be safe.
7/19 257.4 no exercise today off to a busy day at work.

7/16 155.2 Took a 45 minute interval training class at my local gym, followed by a 2K row and 30 minutes walking on the treadmill. Have tracked my meals for the entire day so if I don’t eat anything else I should be well under calorie goal.
7/17 155.4 Have started to drink 16 oz. of water first thing each morning. Helps to get to my water goal. Have tracked meals for the whole day – Sundays are bad as we eat too much cheese, did a longer workout trying to burn off a few more calories. Treadmill: 4.85 miles in 75:00 @ 3% incline.
7/18 155.2 Rest day from exercise.
7/19 154.0 I hour cardio/weight training class at my local gym.
7/20 154.2 Busy day cleaning up in yard before our trip. Lots of preparation for a Toastmasters meeting tonight – first time meeting in person in over 2 years. No exercise but was on the move a lot.
7/21 153.6 I hour cardio/weight training class at my local gym. Different instructor with a different routine. Increased the weights I was using and am already feeling it in my hips. Tracking is getting easier as we tend to eat the same meals each week.

7/21 - 138.2. Still .4 up from my challenge start weight but I’ll take the loss! I did a longer fast yesterday (20 hours) and felt pretty good. Had concerns about getting enough protein but I actually ended up meeting my goal if the nutrition info on everything is correct. It was really nice not having to think about breakfast or lunch during the work day. I don’t think I would/could skip lunch every day, though. Took the dogs for a fast 2-mile walk this morning, may do a 30 minute Peloton ride this afternoon.

HSW: 267
RSW: 226.0
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with

7/18 225.8 Had a low-key weekend since both husband and I are still recovering from COVID. Mostly on plan but still not burning many calories.
7/19 224.8 Down 40 pounds since January! It is still surreal to me but I’m not downplaying the work and effort it took to get here. And I’m positive that I would not have done it without the support and accountability freely offered by this group. Meals for today are planned and logged.
7/20 226 We ate dinner very late and it got me.
7/21 223.8 I have a case of the post-COVID brain fog. Yesterday I didn’t even think about posting until late in the day and by then work was taking an outrageous turn. My office is moving in the next few months and we got to see the new location today. It’s surrounded by food halls and restaurants and I can already tell it will be a challenge to eat sensibly when I’m there. The good news is it's in a very walkable location!
@gbj4120 great job hitting that first goal!
@cybernurse251, congrats on 15!
@deepwoodslady, look at you back in Onederland!

7/21 - 153.5 - This weight will surely go back up tomorrow. I'm an absolute mess today. Night 2 of nightmares and terrible sleep. BF, LittleBro, and SD all left for Oklahoma to see BF's dad this morning. BigBro is out working and house is too quiet suddenly. I'd be struggling to focus if I was simply dealing with the sleep but all the sudden changes have really made it hard. I feel like I'm wandering around aimlessly today. I am getting laundry done (the 2 kids wanted their bedsheets and blankets done while they were gone) so I'm forcing myself to be up and moving at least every hour for that. Food is already rotten (read: terrible choices) today but at least dinner is cooking (yay crockpot!) for tonight so I'm not starving the boy after a hot day of working in this Texas Sun/Heat. Photos are done, I'm curious to see how they turn out. I didn't work out this morning but have my alarm set to go off tomorrow in hopes I can kickstart it in a healthy way which will lead to healthier choices throughout the day. At this point, I'm simply trying to get through the day. Side note, since kiddos are gone this weekend (AKA I have no plans and BigBro never wants to leave the house) and I work tomorrow, I'm going to go into San Antonio Saturday to check out Costco and get a nice stock up on the things we need in bulk. I already have a membership that I've used for big items that are shipping only but might as well use it since I have it. Plus it gets me out of the house and I'll have to walk around for some movement. Then to the local grocery, maybe Sunday, for the other little stuff we need.

Previous Day's Comments

7/16 - DNP
7/17 - DNP
7/18 - No idea why my body wants to put on weight. Granted, food has been a little wonky but not entirely unhealthy. Today likely has a little to do with the fact that we FINALLY painted our ceiling beams yesterday and boy are my arms/shoulders SOOOOOOORE. Plus lots of up and down ladders for a leg workout. We have family portraits Wednesday evening that I'm trying to work toward looking okay in. BF and kiddos going to BF's dad's this weekend (out of state), leaving Thursday morning and coming back Monday evening so it'll just be BigBro and I. We both work Thurs, Fri, Mon and he never really leaves his room on weekends so it'll pretty much just be me. I only have to worry about his to/from work and feeding him dinner (which I'm feeding myself so it's not a big deal there). I did force myself out of bed this morning (by reminding myself my actual alarm goes off in less than an hour and I'll be miserable if I let myself fall back asleep) to knock out a nice workout. 5-4-3-2-1 min alternating bike/rower (5 min row, 1 min rest, 5 min bike, 1 min rest, 4 min rower, etc). Feel better now that it's done. Let's see if I can keep this up, though. So long as I can get into bed around 9-930 every night, I think I can force myself up. Thursday might be a challenge since BigBro has to be at work a half hour earlier cutting my workout time short. Plus this week we may get home later Wed night since we're doing sunset family portraits (around 730-8) and that's about an hours drive away. Might call that my rest morning.
7/19 - Surprised at the drop despite the big heavy dinner. It was, however, filled with protein and veggies (I doubled up on veggies). Second day waking up at 5 to get some movement in. I'm super sore, particularly in the shoulders and neck (DOMS from painting I believe. Always the second day after for me I've noticed) so I did a nice Yoga With Adriene morning routine for 34 minutes. Hoping it would help the bit of a tension headache I have due to the neck/shoulder soreness. Might need to put some cream on to help ease it, though. The habit here isn't necessarily the workout, it's the getting up and moving first thing in some form or fashion. Due to the "lightness" of yoga, I have to be very careful about my food today. I have lunch and dinner planned, but I've noticed I get quite hungry mid-afternoon. I have a little bit of extra calories left for something to hold me over, though, so I should be okay so long as I stay mindful. Also, so long as I have my water dialed in, I have coffee in the morning to help me push lunch a little later (yay for the appetite suppressant side of coffee! Plus my collagen. I usually only drink one cup when I get back from dropping off BigBro but I'm drinking it early today so I'll give myself permission for a second cup later in the morning should I need it. Second cup won't have collagen added. Gotta watch them calories!). Hope everyone has a fantastic day! Editing to add: I'm focusing on how I feel and look vs the scale since I'm trying to reintroduce regular workouts. I know I'll likely gain some (or not lose) from glycogen and muscle build-up initially if I can keep this habit up.
7/20 - Easing back down. A little shocked as SD wanted to make rice so BF helped her make homemade chicken fried rice. Quite a carb-loaded meal for dinner. But I was mindful of what I was eating all day, only snacked on a packet of lemon-pepper salmon when I realized I was truly hungry (not boredom or emotional eating). Woke up again this morning for some movement. Yoga With Adriene "For when you're feeling dead inside" which is pretty accurate how I was feeling this AM. I was NOT having it. I had some pretty awful dreams, tossing and turning and waking up frequently. But I knew that 1 hour was not enough to make me feel any better so I might as well get up and move since it's more likely to boost me than a bit more sleep. Photos are up in the air as Fam didn't quite account for a few things, unfortunately. It is BF's fathers day gift so we left everything up to them except us getting our outfits (theme is red&black). We shall see if it works out. Kiddos only have a couple more weeks here so hopefully they get it sorted as the next opportunity is spring break. If it is postponed, maybe I can work this bloat off a little more and feel a little better about them. If not, oh well. The dress I chose will hide the bloat-belly I currently am dealing with fairly well. Edit to add because brain isn't working today: my TMI/digestion is all kinds of wonky. Not sure what's causing it but I have a feeling it is impacting how bloated I look/feel. Likely has impact on weight as well since I'm almost always higher when I have noticeable bloat. Hoping my food choices this week will fix this in the next few days. Edit #2: Fam just informed us they were able to find a place to accomodate us for photos. They are happening tonight after all.

@abigailgorton1 You hit your Round 193 goal! Whoop whoop! For water have you tried flavoring it with Mio or some other low calorie flavor enhancer or lemons or cucumbers or strawberries? You probably have, just a thought.

Nice ride on the horse in the morning; we had an unusually cool breezy morning with our predicted 104 high in the afternoon. Today I get to go quilt with the Quilts of Honor ladies that make quilts for veterans; it is a wonderful time. Tonight my local guild meets to make quilted Christmas stockings for the Children’s Crisis Center, we are calling it Christmas in July so we don’t have to scramble at the last minute in December.

I have a lovely quilt from Quilts of Honor! Thank you for doing that! They're always so beautiful and appreciated

Day/Weight/Comment
7/16 / 166.4 / Even my husband asked me this morning why my face was so puffy. I had a super long day yesterday- at the final workday corporate event for the Stampede standing on a rooftop patio in hot weather and then a night at the grounds watching live music standing on concrete. Surpassed 20,000 steps again and just did what I needed to avoid heat stroke or dehydration. Off to the lake today.
7/17 / DNW / At the lake and forgot the scale. Supper last night was a nice salad with watermelon and cherries. Got my 10,000 steps and had a nap.
7/18 / 163.8 / Last corporate event for Stampede last night and I went way too hard and hot home way too late. We went and saw Elvis after work today.
7/19 / 165.8 / At the airport to fly back to Ontario to visit my husband's family. Looking forward to enjoying it in the middle of summer as we are usually there more during the shoulder seasons.
7/20 / DNW / Supper and a long walk on the boardwalk when we landed last night. Off to Canada's Wonderland today. So thankful I don't have to worry about fitting on any of the rides.
7/21 / DNW / Unfortunately I am sick again and it's impacted some of our vacation plans. My husband found us a nice suite style apartment for me to lay low at for a few days while I recover.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@TerriRichardson112 I dont know what we would do around here without your posts!
How are your daily decluttering sessions going?
Where did you get the colorful scratching off the weights by the 10s thing?

JbeanR0212

@enlightenme3 if’s funny you say that because the same thing happens with my sleep & energy patterns.

Wahoo @cybernurse251 and @gbj4120 that’s awesome! I need songs to dance and celebrate both of you.

@CamandJarvis and @ashleycarole86 I hope both of you feel better soon. Make sure to take whatever rest you need.

It’s gonna be a scorcher here as many other places. I think I’ll make gazpacho for lunch or dinner. Cold and yummy. Here’s a photo I took yesterday that makes me smile—but then Rory and sunflowers always make me smile. I hope the make you smile, too!

@SheilaBoneham - Your sunflower and Rory DID make me smile. Thanks!
