Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 - 149 - I'm happy the weekend carbs haven't snuck up on me. Staying within plan so I hope I can maintain this loss this week.
7/27 - 148.5 - This is what happens when I weigh and track every piece of food I eat. Eventually, the weight comes off.
7/28 - 149.5 - And sometimes for no apparent reason, the weight comes back. All I can do is keep tracking.
7/29 - 149.5 - I've tracked all week so this is a little disappointing. My stepdaughter is having us over tonight for an early anniversary supper before their family leaves for home in Florida next week. I'm going to enjoy what they make and have a few drinks. I'll work on the consequences next week.
7/30 - DNW
7/31 - 149.5 - Today is our farewell party for our Florida family. I'm planning to stay around maintenance calories today.
8/01 - 149.5 - Went a little overboard on the food yesterday. Back on track today!
8/02 - 150 - The weekend food showed up, I hope this is the end of it.
8/03 - 150 - I will stay on track today and drink plenty of water.
8/04 - 149 - I made it back down to starting weight. Oh well, it is better than gaining. See you next round.

This is my third round. I am 60 work full time and it took a bit for my metabolism to move . I exercise with hitt / tread mill 5 days a week. I am done 15lbs so far .

I actually made up for my birthday blow-out!
The next couple of 10-day challenges will be DOUBLY challenging over the next two weekends because we have friends coming in from different states. It's going to be tough but I can't wait to see them! I haven't seen my bff for over two years (due to COVID). I'm going to try to stick to my new habits and stay on board with these challenges.7 -
Determined to get back into shape & do the things I love. Started this journey 4/4/22 at 180lbs and wish I would have found this amazing group sooner.

/driving for 16 hours / Back at it after being on the Colorado Mountains for two weeks. Had a FANTASTIC time. Such beauty!
(Now that I am back home in Illinois, I love how I don’t have those pesky mountains blocking my view of the horizon…. NOT)
The surprising thing… I actually lost two pounds in spite of LOTS OF FOOD (not tracked)! Credit to LOTS OF EXERCISE! Hiking, biking, fishing, repeat.
Wishing I was in better shape while I was there is a little bit inspirational. Let’s see if I can build on that. Need to get back into tracking food.
8/1: 215
/ walking, not much else /
8/2: 215
/ Walking and biking. A bit of dumbbell work / The food temptation is real. Keeping eyes on the goal.
Glad to be back with you all.
8/3: 213
/Spinning (kicked my butt), stretching/ Ate under calories and ate back no exercise calories. I see this as a good sign but far from victory.
8/4: 214
/full day. No exercise/ some food fests coming up. The struggle continues.

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.6 -

- Wed 8/03: 156.8; -2.2lbs
~ back down; Have to have a deep cleaning at the dentist today and I took the dentist advice too seriously when she told me to eat beforehand. I already ate my leftover Philly steak Papadia and 2.5 breadsticks (so addictive!) - Tues 8/02: 159; +2.7lbs
~ Clarifying my notes: ^^ this gain is the result of throwing caution to the wind for two days in a row(Sun-Mon); eating when I wasn’t hungry and then not tracking any of it - Mon 8/01: ???
~ Afraid to look TBH!🫤 - Sun 7/31: 156.3; +.9lbs
~ I think I did very well considering they had a large platter of those Publix little Cubans at the poker game last night. Those are huge weakness for me! - Sat 7/30: 155.6; -0lbs ~ No comments/concerns, so I’ll use this time to make a to-do list. 🤔 To-Do(productive) List
- Run to Macys and JCPenney
- Order daughter’s senior pictures
- Run to the store for some emergency keto snacks
- Try to wrangle up Kyndall to purchase school clothes while it’s tax free week
- To be continued gotta go for now… Had to put a halt on my list for now. I couldn’t go to the mall because the crowds were so extreme.
- Fri 7/29: 155.6; -2.4lbs ~ not bad.. 🙂and kind of predictable since I know I’ve been recovering from my 2-day-sushi “event” earlier in the week. I’m not sure what’s in store for this weekend though. I am going to my monthly poker game on Saturday night and usually it’s a long night full of junk food so I hope I can refrain from going overboard with the salt and carbs! My actual birthday is on Monday so no big plans which is kind of a blessing in disguise. Every year I struggle to get back on the wagon when I’m faced with back to back celebrations.
- Thur 7/28: 158; +.9lbs ~ uh-oh.. mini-goal is coming up tomorrow… really needing to stay on point today!
- Wed 7/27: 157.1; -2.5lbs ~ and so the see-saw begins! I really am thankful for this and the GoT Challenge for pushing me back into the land of the living
- Tues 7/26: 159.6; +1lbs ~ Weekend temptations poured (more like crumbled) over to Monday. Family came over and played Jack in the Box and husband thought of a great idea to bring home Crumbl Cookies for everyone to try for the first time! It’s kind of like a specialty cupcake shop, but instead of cupcakes they create humongous cookies which need a small pie cutter to eat(which I ignored completely)
- Mon 7/25 : 158.6
5 - Thurs 8/4: 158.9; +2.1lbs

This is my second round and I still am not sure I’m doing this right! …but it’s working and keeping me accountable! Thank you guys! SW:178

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26: 131.6 - A little surprised by the slight drop. The day started with a lot of carbs as I was baking for an upcoming event. I was also super sleepy and tired in the afternoon, but did motivate myself enough to do both of my workouts. Dinner was a frittata to counteract all of the carbs.
7/27: 132.7 - Pizza night last night as well as some more baking to take to our new neighbors. Got my Jazzercise workout in but didn’t have much time for my normal walk other than a quick trip around the block.
7/28: 131.8 - Late workout and early-ish dinner and poor sleep. A few of my neighbor ladies and I have a crocheting get-together every week or so. Mostly it’s about the wine and the camaraderie since we’re all complete novices. We’re making the most expensive and ugly sweater!
7/29: 133.2 - Made fresh grilled salsa from tomatoes one of our neighbors gifted us. Since it contains no oil, all the calories are coming from the chips! Oh well. Got my workout in early, but had a little bit of evening snacking.
7/30: 132.9 - Late workout and late dinner. Slept well.
7/31: 132.9 - Went over a bit in calories as I wasn’t keeping track of my sampling during baking and we had take out. Got both my workouts in though and great sleep.
8/1: 132.9 - Lots of sourdough making yesterday - today we will see the fruits of the labor. Got my workout in as well as some deep cleaning in preparation for people coming over.
8/2: 133.8 - A carb-laden binge could not be overcome by two workouts.
8/3: 133.8 - Ate under calories yesterday but only got one workout in. Good sleep.
8/4: 133.4 - Hard to believe this is the end of another round. Still continuing to bounce up and down by a pound or so, which is fine. Had my workouts and then focused on eating under calories. Just squeaked it all in.

7/26 - 177.6
Yesterday was my first day (evening) of IF and it was hard, since I came home hungry from two hours of tracking (read following dogs following scent over uneven ground), but I stuck it out. I know my urge to eat is mostly the bad habit I’ve gotten into, and that the first week or so will be the hardest. So all good! DHs birthday today and he wants Mexican, and cake, but that’s ok, I still won’t go over goals if I stop at 6:30! 😁
7/27 - 177.8
DH birthday finished, and not too bad—only 40 over calorie goal. Lots more salt than usual, but I can flush that out. And I did stop eating at 6:20. So day 2 of IF accomplished.
7/28 - 177.6
I went off the wagon last night—I came home from tracking around 8:30 and was really hungry and a little shaky, so I ate a piece of Dave’s Good Seed Thin toasted with natural peanutbutter. I’m not sure this IF is going to work for me, at least not every day. Maybe I’ll try intermittent intermittent fasting! 😁
7/29 - 177.6
Ate well yesterday and got two and a half hours of walking during tracking training last night. I talk about tracking so much, I thought I’d share a couple of pics of Rory tracking on Monday evening. He’s following the trail of another person—sort of like you see on cop shows, but this is a sport for titles. I hope I don’t bore you with dog pics—it’s one of my main sources of exercise, so semi-relevant!
7/30 - 178.2
Friday nights are my downfall for some reason. I had an emotional eating binge. Oh, well. At least my metabolism won’t think it’s starving! Happy Saturday!
7/31 - 178.2
Still dealing with my Friday night splurge, but that’s ok, I was back on track yesterday and today is planned. Have a lovely Sunday!
8/01 - 178
All within bounds yesterday. Looking forward to staying that way!
8/02 - 178.8
Salt. Pizza salt. We spent the better part of yesterday driving about an hour to look at a car, then do all the waiting around you do when you buy a car, then driving home. So neither of us felt like cooking, and Roger wanted pizza. It’s ok, we haven’t had it in a long time. Too many calories and too much salt, but that’s that for a while. And I have a lovely new-to-me red dog- and plant-mobile!
8/03 - 178.6
Better food choices yesterday, but theses things last days! It’s ok.
8/04 - 178.6
Okie dokie. So, while I had some days right on target, my calorie average this round was high, so 1# up makes sense. And it’s fine. See you next round.Goal for 2022-2023 Progress

@quiltingjaine No one mentioned any breathing exercises to me but it certainly sounds like a good idea. I will do that! They did say they are going to contact me about cardio therapy. I dread that only because everything is so far from home. No hospital near and certainly no physical therapists around here. But I will do what I have to do. It's especially important that I stay healthy for my autistic son. He really needs me.9 -

8/04 - 156.5 - TOM bloat is going down finally and I feel a little better (not so blegh). Woke up, once again, in the middle of a dream but SD told me to wake her up so she can get in a run since it's been 3 weeks since she's ran (she's a cross country and track runner in high school and has a lot of potential for a college scholarship if she keeps it up). I went for a walk/run. I had to run to get her running (she was dragging like I was) and the pup wanted to keep up with her but I couldn't quite keep up and had to walk up the hill because my ankle isn't strong enough in my barefoot shoes. But ran about a quarter mile or so! I wasn't planning on running, but it was the only way to motivate her to get hers started. Also did my Nerd Fitness mobility stretches/exercises for about 20 minutes after with her. Dinner tonight is smoked beef ribs with bacon caesar salad with Fam joining us. Once I post this, I'll pre-log that and add the banana/peanut butter I had this morning after the run/walk. I have work tomorrow so I'll try to get up and knock out another workout as well since Saturday is all day driving to hand off kiddos to mom for the school year ):
Previous Day's Comments7/26 - I feel lighter and look/feel less bloated so not sure what's going on. Not too worried about it. BigBro broke the car (come to find out, he disconnected the battery in the wrong way and now the battery connects need to be rewired. I wasn't home when he did it...) Unfortunately they couldn't get it fixed and put back together last night so I had to drive him again today. That means I didn't get in a workout. HOWEVER, SD wanted to take the pup for a walk last night so we went for a nice moderate-to-fast paced walk up and down the hills on my road for just shy of 45 minutes. Giving myself grace still and saying ANY workout counts, even if it's only an evening stroll. It's movement that otherwise wouldn't happen and I'm learning to be flexible with the type and time of workouts I may be able to squeeze in without sacrificing important things (like sleep). Goal is MINIMUM 3 workouts this week (Monday-Sunday). Hopefully tonight they can finish the car and I can work out tomorrow. Though due to my early meeting tomorrow, I might ask BF if he'll wake up to drive BigBro if the car isn't fixed and I can squeeze in a workout before the meeting without issue. Luckily my rower, bike, and yoga mat are all within 10 steps of my desk making it easier to knock it out without being late.
7/27 - Still not feeling or seeing any over-the-top bloat or noticeable actual weight/fat gain so I'm not sure where this is coming from. TMI maybe? Also cheese last night and the bloat from that isn't visibly noticeable? Oh well. It'll fix itself in time, I'm sure. Need to get back to logging my food. Got a nice 30 minute evening stroll with SD and the pup last night. BigBro did drive himself this morning so I was able to wake up at my normal 6am. Got in 25 minutes of yoga (Yoga with Adriene), 5 minute morning stroll up and down the driveway (got to see some deer, a beautiful, colorful sunrise through the trees, and breathe in fresh air first thing). Also got my NerdFitness mobility workout/stretches done (14 more minutes) all before 730! 3 days of 30 minutes activity complete. Now let's see if I can keep that up the next 2 days! On to work for a productive day! Goal: Keep up water and TRACK YOUR DANG FOOD, CAM. (:
7/28 - Got a nice 3 mile walk in last night. Also tracked all my food for yesterday (yay! Now to continue that). This morning SD told me to wake her up at 6 (when I normally get up) to do a workout. So we decided to go on another 3 mile walk to see the beautiful sunrise. It was delightful. Seems my body is back on track with sleep, hunger, TMI, etc which may also be apart of the drop on the scale. Hoping to continue this and start dropping rather than bouncing (I know there will be some bounces, but hopefully more downward bounces than upward like I've been dealing with lately)

8/01 - Not enough water, unless you count the amount of water I've been in (swimming) since Saturday. I can feel the water weight but I don't feel the icky bloat feeling so that's a bonus. Apparently I was tired this morning as I slept right through my alarm and naturally woke up about 15 minutes before work. Obviously a workout didn't happen. I will try to get little bites of activity through the day to make up for it. Dental appointment tomorrow afternoon so today and tomorrow morning will be super busy work-wise to make up the time I'm gone as I have a report due on Wednesday. Also the last week with the kids so evenings may be a little more filled with things to squeeze every last bit of time with them out of the week. Time to get caught up on posts during my short work breaks!
8/02 - Pre-TOM bloat is in FULL FORCE. I don't look as bloated as yesterday, but I can feel it a bit more. Definitely tell it is mostly related to TOM, though. Did have a bit of a salty dinner last night, too. I was about 8oz shy of my water goal on top of that as I got so engulfed with work, I forgot to sip water through the morning. I woke up naturally about 4:40 this morning. Forced myself to stay in bed until about 5:30 and just relax (awake, but physically resting). Not sure what I'm going to do for a workout but getting my first glass of water down now while I type this and ponder it. Also, BF finally went to the doc yesterday (big deal around here) and turns out he fractured 2 toes at the first joint in his foot. He has tennis shoes with a bar in them like one of those boots. I guess I'll be doing the heavy lifting if any until he sees the doc again on the 15th and maybe after depending on how that goes. Goal today: knock out this workout, get my water, and TRACK MY FOOD (do it, Cam. You've been slacking and the scale shows it).
EDIT TO ADD: Completed 5-4-3-2-1 rower/bike circuit (5 min rower, 5 min bike, 4 min rower, etc). Taking a breather to type this up before edit time goes away then stretching since I have plenty of time before work starts.
8/03 - Today I look AND feel bloated. Ugh. TOM is kicking my behind this month. Food was better yesterday. Also got my dentist work done and insurance giving problems. Right now, my dental appointment from 6 months ago is not paying out. So they can't charge my new appointment because I don't have access to my old insurance card (everything digital and once I left that employer, the account was disabled) so they can't change insurance information in their system until they get the old claim paid out. Ugh. But they have my new information and I'm working with them. At least I'm getting a night guard that also works as a retainer to keep my teeth straight and stop grinding and got that stupid chip that was painful and kept cutting my tongue ground down (it's so smooooooth!). Played a nice game with kiddos last night so was up late. Hit snooze a couple times and couldn't fit in workout this morning. Waking up mid-dream always makes me so tired, groggy, and a bit cranky. Will try for a walk with pup or yoga this afternoon. Hopefully work calms down enough I can use my lunch to get a couple items needed for tomorrow's dinner (Fam coming over to see kids one last time) instead of working through lunch to meet deadlines. If not, I'll use my morning workout time tomorrow to run first thing before work (and miss another workout) since we have to start the smoker around 11-12. SD wanted pizza stuffed shells so I'm helping her make it (she helped me make it last summer so now roles reversed so she can learn and get practice). Have leftover grilled thighs for lunch and some veggies I can munch on for lunch to stay fairly low calorie for the bomb that's happening tonight. I'll be sure to take lactose pills to avoid any more uncomfortable bloat. Today's focus: water, mindful eating, and 30 minutes activity (even if it's divided into smaller portions sprinkled through the day)

08/03 -201.6- (Trend weight 201.4)The heart surgeon I met for the first time when I was in the OR. He said that he will not triple stent me, if it becomes 100% necessary, he will do a by-pass but he wasn’t in the mood to crack open any ribs that day. Yikes! He thought that two of the blockages could be managed with new meds for now but one was further blocked than the CTA test indicated. It was 76% blocked instead of 50%. So he stented that one, changed my cholesterol meds to 80 mg instead of 10 mg. Added the blood thinner recommended for those specifically with stents, added another heavy-duty blood pressure med to go with my other and gave me an emergency script for nitro just in case. He said my breathing on exertion should improve but it’s still rough breathing so far. Gotta heal up I guess. No exercise for a week and then light moderate like walking or bike. Breathing was worse yesterday instead of better but so far today, I feel a little improvement. Glad it’s over. Thanks again to all of you for the well wishes, personal IM’s and hugs. You are all the best friends a girl could ever ask for!
08/04 -200.6- (Trend weight 201.3) I am done with the 2 days of extreme light duty. I go back on all diabetes medications today and start 5 days of light duty that is a tiny bit less restrictive. Still no exercise allowed, bu I can now carefully (under 5 lbs) use my right hand. I took my son out to a local restaurant last night mainly because I felt sorry for myself. Just being honest. We even split a dessert. Food doesn’t fix anything, of course, it’s just a bandaid. Feeling much better today and I can’t wait to be able to take walks again and get on my stationary bike! Weight dropped but it was probably fluid loss from the water pill. I can see my ankle bones again this morning and my feet look normal. They always do when I get rid of the water. Nice round for so many! Proud of us all for continuing to show up and do our best from day to day and sometimes even from hour to hour. See you next round!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

07/26 - 161.3 -18,600/124. It's pretty warm here for here lol. I cooked some salmon for dinner in the airfryer, so nice to have for summer cooking but the heat has suppressed my hunger. I did eat my calories but didn't feel hungry, it's kinda weird. Sleep seemed good but my eyes seem tired this morning, could be the struggle I had with one of my contacts getting stuck in my eyelid! Have a wonderful day all!
07/27 - 159.8 - 22,000/138. Not sure where that drop came from. It's been really warm here so possible just water loss. Someone brought in my absolute favorite dessert from a local restaurant and I ate most of my piece, so good! Wasn't sure how to calculate the calories, might have over estimated but I wasn't super hungry and did have a good dinner. Will see how these 10 days and the weather go and I might up my calories again. Had a terrible sleep, will be a long day.
07/28 - 159.6 - 24,295/155. Had a late night snack as after getting ready for bed I looked at my diary and thought that my calories were 'kinda low. Had some fruit and a tiny chocox treat I got from Costco. Glad it didn't effect my sleep. I'm 52 today and will celebrate with my Parents as SO is out of town working and my boys are at a music festival and the step girls and grands live out of town. Sushi and cake, scale will jump in the morning, but it's ok I'm gonna get right back!! Not sure how walks and steps will go but I should even it out on the weekend unless SO makes it home! You can help me celebrate by not being too hard on yourselves or adding a few extra steps today!!
07/29 - 160.8 - 14,200/80. Extra calories (cake, sushi and chips!!) and just one walk. Not too bad of an uptick but there could be more in the days ahead. Had a great day with a surprise visit from SD#1 and grandson. SO is heading home and with long weekend traffic and a major ferry to get through, he might be stuck on the other side, will see. Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and any extra steps, very much appreciated!! 🌺🌼🌸
07/30 - 160.1 - 24,700/169. Got a good walk in before SO got home, hot out.
07/31 - 162.7 - 16,600/80. Really hot out just a one walk in after the sun was down.
08/01 - 165.5 - 12,100/31. Spent the day with all the grandkids together. The very first time!! Great great day. High in calories and low in burn. Spent 5 hours at the water park!! Watch read a burn of 654 usually I'm hitting 1000 but I was super tired last night and this morning!! lol I did carry one of them for a lot of the time so maybe not an accurate read... But the scale says "missed the mark" No hugs needed, I will see that 5 again!! Feeling bloated the last few days! Also I didn't make my watch challenge. was to burn 31,900 calories missed it by about 600. Needed to get in 1 good walk but was really hot and I got stung by a bee on the bottom of my foot, so I didn't push it. I'm a little disappointed but oh well. August is to hit 479.5 km, that's 15.46 a day!! If this heat keeps up not sure I'll get that either.
08/02 - 164.6 - 13,200/61 Had some extra snacks. Forgot my protein for my lunch which may have sent me towards some snacks. No second walk and SO is still home.
08/03 - 164.9 - 14,500/100. Dinner with one of the boys and GF. Then we got ice cream, but we walked there!! SO is off to work but just a day or 2. Then I am off for the week. No real plans as of yet, depends on how many days SO gets.
08/04 - 163.6 - 21,300/148. Ooohh last day! Was a rollercoaster on the scale these 10 days, but that's what happens when SO is home and it's my birthday. It's not fat mostly water. I've a week off starting Saturday will see how the numbers look. No real plans as SO isn't sure he'll be here but that's ok as I'll get lots of walking in and I might even check out the community gym. That might be a little too intimidating though. Glad you were all here with me ... see you next round!!

I met my exercise goal of 7/10 days (or at least I will after today). I took 2 days off of IF and 1 day off of tracking. Not bad. Today I broke my fast early in an attempt to get my one year old to eat his breakfast instead of throwing it. It did not work so I guess I can continue IF! See everyone next round!6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 / DNW / Had a refreshing sleep. Up with my coffee now. Husband will pop out for our takeout breakfast soon from the cafe across the street. We have a special dinner tonight so I will likely only have the late breakfast and supper.
7/27 / DNW / Husband took us out for a special night last night so I did surpass my calories as we had a small lunch too (shared item) to bridge the gap between breakfast and supper. Today we have some wineries - it's going to be a hot one out there!
7/28 / DNW / This is the longest vacation I've been on since I started this journey and I can tell the multiple days of plans to eat out is starting to catch up with me. Made a few decisions today I'm not the happiest about but all I can do is learn from it and move on. We switch locations once more tomorrow and Sunday we fly home so I just want to savor every second of the next 72 hours!
7/29 / DNW
7/30 / DNW
7/31 / DNW / At the airport ready to fly home. Back on the scale tomorrow and then back to work Tuesday. Will be weird to get back to routine!
8/1 / 172.2 / Back home and it feels so good. We had a great trip but it's nice to be home as well. My gain this time wasn't as crazy as my Vegas trip and I'm sure about half of it is water weight. Back to routine! It's a warm day here but we'll get the dog out for a walk while she can still handle it. Hopefully I'll have time for other exercise too.
8/2 / 169.6 / First day back in the office after my holiday. Life gets right back to feeling hectic! Food was on track and I kept my exercise fairly light. Husband wanted a TV night and we don't do that often so it was nice.
8/3 / 167.6 / Today I will work, hopefully find time to fit in the Peloton, and then I have a late dentist appointment for a cleaning.
8/4 / 166.2 / Down 6 pounds of the water weight gained on the trip. Didn't quite get back down to my maintenance range but things have been progressing well. I am back on track and feeling great. Did an awesome strength training session last night instead of the Peloton - felt good.6 -
Hi. I've stopped a backslide; now just need to break this 3lb yo-yo and get the 10lbs regained off. New food journal in hand, now to "work it".

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.

7/26 118.5 GKI 5.7 unplanned 24 hour fast yesterday
7/27 119.0 GKI 9.4 Buffet@Asia I ate it all. I had been craving Asian and this checked all the boxes. I’m over it now.
7/28 118.5 GKI 7.3 Beef, asparagus, butter, Flying Dutchman at In-n-Out. Over on calories, protein and fat but only 5g total carbs!
7/29 118.5 GKI 7.6
7/30 120.0 GKI 13.4 1/4 pita, asparagus, 38g TC, under calories and protein yesterday. Up at 4AM after going to bed around 1AM. UGH! Headache
7/31 119.0 GKI 6.5 Went to Mexican restaurant for OMAD, ate chips and taco salad (and most of the bowl) NO BEANS. There may be a jump up tomorrow especially since it is Great Greek day! LOL
8/1 118.0 GKI 8.4 I walked over 6000 steps yesterday, thanks to a shopping trip at Walmart. I could do that every day but I’m too lazy to go over there!
8/2 119.5 GKI 6.1 Hardly ate yesterday so this is probably from the 2 hot dogs I ate for “dinner” shortly before 7!
8/3 117.0 GKI 5.7 Yesterday I started cleaning in preparation for short visit from granddaughter #2 this weekend. I baked some chicken breasts, onion, and cauliflower for “lun-ner.” DH had corn, he won’t eat cooked cauliflower. 🤦♀️

7/24: 179.6 yes, all my work went out the window. I went on the cruise. i have wanted to go on one for 20 years, but work has stopped me. well, retirement opened opportunities and i planned my cruise. since my baby sister is turning 50 on 7/30, I invited her to go with me as a birthday gift. we were on Royal Caribbean, and visited roatan, costa maya, and cozumel (i have probably spelled every one of those city names incorrectly). i will begin keeping track of my calories again, and MUST go shopping to get healthier options in the house (the man is predictable with donuts and frozen dinners.)
7/25: 180.6 i've only been gone a week, and there's so much routine that has obviously slipped my mind. i forgot to do a morning weigh-in, so this mornings weight is after coffee and breakfast. i didn't drink enough water yesterday, need to get back to at least 8 glasses a day (hopefully more). i'm looking forward to my 173# again (even though that's not where near my goal weight)
ROUND 194
SW: 179.2
Day/Weight/Comment
7/26: 179.2 puffy leg this morning. that's not new, and i think it may have reduced a little since yesterday. salt intake was high yesterday, i'll have to watch that. calories and macros were great! so many things to stay focused on.
7/27: 177.2 keeping up with the water is helping. leg is practically back to normal, just a little puff around the ankle. calories and macros were on point again, but sadly sodium was still a little high.
7/28: 175.8 i think all the water weight is gone... the rest is probably the actual weight i gained. i usually eat a slice of white bread w/peanut butter as a snack for the last thing i eat. it carries me through 'til breakfast. i messed up last night and missed my snack. ended up eating PB bread at 2am today, so calories will be over today, and were under yesterday.
7/29: 175.8 i'm actually quite happy to see this weight. my calories were excessive yesterday (as expected). I was sure to get my PB bread BEFORE going to bed last night. i will probably see a weight gain later in the week for my mess up.
7/30: 174.8 look at that! it says i'm down a pound. did really good with calories yesterday, macros were off. oh well, keep on moving in the right direction.
7/31: 173.4 my scale is just being deceitful again. i'll keep logging what it's spewing out, but don't believe a word of it.
8/1: 172.6
8/2: 172.2 not feeling my best this morning, so expecting a gain over the next few days. eating foods that will settle in my belly vs. counting calories. drinking ginger ale vs. water. got a little worried about covid since i just got back from the cruise, but took the rapid test, and got negative results. so, all i have to worry about will be added calories to my diet.
8/3: 172.8
8/4: 172.4 back to the diet (sort of). the man wants cheese burgers. i bought the ground beef, and handed it over to him. he said he made 6oz. patties for freezer and we each get a 5oz patty today. cheese burgers sound great, but oooh the calories. i took my burger and smooshed it very thin with 1 piece of cheese. once cooked, i cut the burger in half and placed the other half on italian bread w/mustard. i'll have the other half tomorrow. i'll be over my allotted calories for weight loss, but still below my maintenance calories.4 -
