/Walk/ Glad to start a new round.

Managed to complete the weekend without ignoring goal number 3. Huge!

8/16: 214
/walking/ Happy to say I have been logging and winning the mind battle with food the past few days. The war continues.

8/17: 213
/not a blasted thing/ busy all day yesterday with work and Dr appointment. Starting (just starting mind you) to get back to enjoying the feeling that I am hungry (First World Hungry, not really hungry.) This has been essential to progress for me in the past.

When I gain weight, I usually let my eyes decide (see food diet) if I am going to eat it, not my hunger/common sense.

8/18: 214
/nothing again/ Today is 43 Anniversary with DW!

8/19: 216
/walking/ This bump-up expected after yesterday’s food fest. Topped off with DW making chex-mix for our neighbor last night. I had to do some quality control monitoring. 😊 it was exquisite. Hello salty water gain.

Since I round up and down, the actual gain was less than 2#.

8/20: 214
/mowing/ I will take it.

8/21:213
/walking between rain drops and cleaning garage/ Garage cleaning involved a bit of functional lifting. 😊

8/22: 213
/fishing aboard “the Kraken” yesterday/ lots of movement involved in an afternoon of fishing. Maybe not as much as MFP says I can log. (Woke up exhausted this morning.) The good news, I was very focused on fishing and not jamming food into the cake hole.

8/23: 213
/meetings/ The only thing exercised yesterday was my brain. Including a decision to stop at Culver’s for a Chocolate Concrete Mixer with Peanut Butter cups. Doh! Otherwise, food was all good.

My ten-day average is on the verge of being lowest since March. And THAT is what gets me into trouble. I start feeling good about progress and think a little cheating here and there doesn’t hurt me. Need to finish this round well.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15: 240lbs. Starting off higher than I’d like, but not surprise considering how off track I’ve been. Today I’m focusing on just getting back into healthy habits.
8/16: 239lbs (-1). One pound down in one day is great! I feel positive about the effort I put forth yesterday and am going to try to keep that momentum going throughout the week! I focused on making good choices with food and took a walk during my lunch break.
8/17: 241.8lbs (+2.8). Darn it. I was stressed & tired yesterday and gave in to my binge eating disorder. I overate far too much and didn't track any of it. So definitely not surprised to see the gain. I feel so bloated and gross today. But today's a new day and I went ahead and tracked everything that I'll eat today and now just need to stick to it!
8/18: 239.4 (-2.4). Yeaaah, back in the right direction! I focused on protein intake and staying under my calorie count. Now I just gotta keep it up for today!
8/19: 239.8 (+0.4). I've been having such a hard time with snacking in the evenings.
8/20: 240.2 (+0.4). Definitely overate, so that's not a surprise at all. 20 years of disordered eating is proving difficult to overcome.
8/21: 239.2 (-1). To be honest, I'm surprised. I thought for sure I'd be up. I didn't eat much yesterday, but what I did eat was processed snack food. But today I'm trying to be mindful and on track.
8/22: Did not weigh in.
8/23: 238.2 (-1). I did well yesterday. I may have set my goal for the round a little too high, because that means I'd have to lose 2.2lbs by tomorrow morning... So maybe I'll lower my goal for the next round. But I'm feeling good either way!

Friends coming for tiny potluck tonight. Should be nice, eating in the garden.

8/16 - n/w
Dinner was lovely last night, and other than Ghirardelli brownies, all perfectly healthful food. It’s weird not weighing in every morning and not counting calories, but I am having DH record what I eat, I just don’t peek.

8/17 - n/w
I almost stepped on the scale this morning out of long habit, but caught myself. I’m sticking to the no-weigh-in routine to the end of the round. It’s a gorgeous day, so Rory and I are off to the park for a walk.

Funny, I remember writing yesterday but can’t find it. Maybe I hit Done instead of Post. I hate when I do that! Anyway, I seem to be doing ok not weighing in. I don’t think I’m over eating. I’ll find out in 5 more days. 😉

8/20 - n/w
Was up at 6 to track with a friend, and it was just lovely out—cool, and a beautiful sunrise. Now it’s pouring—good thing we went in the morning! Happy Saturday!

8/21 - n/w
It’s nice and wet outside with more rain on the way. Great morning for weeding and planting my new climbing rose. 😁 Have a lovely Sunday, all!

8/22 - n/w
Monday, Monday… it’s cool and overcast, and I’m off to obedience club to train (play with) Rory and teach a class. I’d rather stay in bed and read, but it is what it is. I have to say I’m looking forward to weighing in in the mornings, but this round has been an interesting experiment in not obsessing. Have a good one!

8/23 - n/w
One more day—these rounds go by too quickly. Whew! I’ll be interested to see what happened while I didn’t weigh in or watch my nutrients (although DH has been recording for me so I will know my counts). In the meantime, I’m reorganizing my garage storage today. The fun never ends!

8/23 - 131.8! Not sure if this is real because my tummy decided it was still upset in the middle of the night last night. I did do quite a bit of working out yesterday. The gentle ride I was looking for on Peloton ended up being a 45 minute climb ride, oops. Then I took the dogs on a walk that ended up being longer than anticipated. Sorry, job. I'll do you eventually. I was supposed to go mountain biking with a neighbor after work but I think we're going to go for a run at lunch time instead. I'm a little anxious about it because I usually view running as a solo activity, but hopefully it will be fun. Again I can't believe the way time is flying through these challenges! Today is the last full day of the round! Wow!

8/15 - 170.4 - 7,500/15 Weighed in after shower wet hair. Last week was a busy not a lot of walking week. SO has headed back to work for a few days so I can get back at it. Hoping for some good water loss as I am a little bloated.
8/16 - 166.2 - 23,300/164. Nice to see that drop, water weight as expected. Dinner out tonight will see what results bring in the morning, plus I'll have no time for a long weekend walk!! Looks like SO is away until the weekend, I'll get some evening walks in.
8/17 - 165.1 - 19.600/137. Dinner out with my boys girlfriends, just us as all the boys are working my SO out of town and my sons working nights. Taco salad and cheesecake and still a loss!!
8/18 - 163.6 - 28,300/182. Some after work shopping and a late evening walk.
8/19 - 162.7 - 27,700/201. Busy weekend ahead. Won't get much walking in but I may be able to squeeze in some small ones. SO arrived home and is here for a few days, Hooray! We have a family get together and it's nice he can attend. Dentist for me today ugghh ... Happy Friday
8/20 - 162.2 - 17,600/107. Worked a couple of hours, went to the dentist. Then SO took me on a hike. Lots of elevation and it was warm out. He didn’t have the best time. I bribed him with ice cream (sorry dentist!) I had a great day. Family thing tonight with lots of food and drink, see where the numbers fall in the morning.
8/21 - 164.5 - 21,700/120 BBQ last night super fun and got up did a 12K walk.
8/22 - 166.1 - 9,864/45. Lazy day numbers creeping up from BBQ. A little bloated, feeling squishy lol. SO left for work this morning, possible he will be home for the weekend but you never know. Weather is forecasted for hot hot hot means for a later walk, hopefully!

8/23 - 164.7 - 20,200/145. Work and a good walk. Greek salad for dinner with veg from my Dad's garden. Thanks Dad!!

The electricians showed up quickly and worked until 11:45 pm at night to get the problem solved which was a whole new electrical box with an upgraded service. Something I was going to do anyway, so why not tie it all up neatly with a bow at once? Grateful for electricity and grateful for water today. My weight, my trend weight and my fat % is exactly the same as yesterday and I was surprised to see that because it was a model day. However, I realized that I did not take the heart-healthy water pill (because of the birthday party) so I probably have fluid built up. Also, I was stuck in the house all day with electricians and stuck sitting in the dark for several hours last night so exercise of any kind was out the window. Slept well though when they finally left. I was exhausted! I’m ready to lose some weight my friends!

08/23 -201.0- (Trend weight 200.2) I forgot to take my meds yesterday in all the reno hupla, so it was too late for the heart-healthy water pill. My feet are pretty bloated and it showed up on the scale. Today I’ll take my pill for sure and that may give me a more accurate picture of my true weight. Tomorrow I travel to the cardiologist so lunch or dinner will be out but I will really weigh my options! One of my handymen was put in the hospital with either appendix or intestine infection issues. They are still doing testing. I’m down to one guy and he is the lazier one. But he’s here today putting his 60 to 90 minutes in so I suppose I am supposed to be grateful. No quality sleep last night, so I’m a bit grumpy as you can see but I do speak truth.

08/24 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

My new counters and undermount sink. One pic will show backsplash tile and trim being used soon Window is still getting replaced. Lots of work left to do! Temporary dishwasher in. Waiting for a new part for the stainless steel one. (Been waiting over two months!). I will pop my color in my decor, accessories, finishing touches so that my kitchen colors can easily be changed at a whim.





(Sorry about picture size, I'm still not able to make smaller on some of them so I'm obviously doing something wrong!)

musicsax

@deepwoodslady - it is looking nice, when it's finished it will be worth the hassle. Don't worry about the size of the pics, I've not managed to get any of mine smaller either!!

@deepwoodslady It’s going to be wonderful!!

Well “kids” as I seem to still be having a little vertigo issue, I am not even going to try to read all of the messages I have missed since Thursday. I hope you all are doing well and that I’ll see you tomorrow and onward.

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: 121.0 (4AM 8/14)

8/15 119.0 GKI 13.9 Great Greek ate 1/4 pita and 1 oz. melitzanosalata
8/16 118.5 GKI 9.6 Ate leftovers yesterday and today will be other leftovers. I have a nice piece of steak and am looking forward to steak and eggs!
8/17 118.0 GKI 8.4 No food plans. Making keto snacks to take to quilt retreat. The planned meals that are included are SUPER carby. It amazes me since the chair is diabetic but this option probably keeps the cost down. At least there are restaurants in the casino. Leaving tomorrow afternoon and internet will probably be sketchy all weekend.
8/18 119.0 No GKI- I didn’t waste the strips! Dinner at Bingo was pizza, chips and cookies!! Good this weekend will be similarly carb loaded unless I go to a restaurant and order something. Sunday afternoon we will go to Great Greek. I’ll try to at least say hi but hope to be busy, busy all weekend with limited internet. I spent most of the day yesterday baking keto snacks. I haven’t read beyond page 6. Will try to catch up later.
8/19 DNW At retreat, no scale
8/20 DNW Ate meatball, chicken, salad and 1 breadstick, at least 3 steam table trays full of pasta were wasted. Guess these other ladies don’t want the junky carbs either.
8/21 DNW Last day at retreat, no meals. Last night was pulled pork, chicken, and fish, salad with super sugary salad dressing, rolls and butter. Dessert buffet at 8 pm. I’m ready to go home. Probably Great Greek this evening since it’s Sunday!
8/22 121.5 GKI 13.4 After 3.5 days of less than great food availability I’m okay with that gain. Back on track today is my plan. Oh and I have vertigo!
8/23 121.5 GKI 19.2 Still vertigo but not as bad as yesterday. I have no idea why my GKI shot up like that unless it’s a delayed reaction to the tons of carbs over the weekend. I’ll just stick to my plan.

@quiltingjaine I’m sorry you are still stuggling with the vertigo. I hope you like your usual self soon.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15: 132.1 - Had a busy day yesterday - my Jazzercise workout was interrupted half-way through by a phone call so ended up doing a another whole workout on demand. Then I rode my bicycle for the first time in a long time downtown to check out Art in the Park with DH, but I don’t think I earned enough calories to counteract the 350 calorie cup of very delicious ice cream with that ride. C’est la vie. Stayed under calories overall.
8/16: 132.5 - Got my Jazzercise workout in before the heat, but didn’t go out for my walk. Was also trying to do some meal prep earlier in the day, but ended up still having to turn on the oven late in the afternoon - ugh. We have a tile and grout person coming today to re-do some of our grout, which means I can’t use a large part of our kitchen, laundry room and one of our bathrooms for 24 hours.
8/17: 132.3 - Actually went to Jazzercise in person for the first time in awhile. I usually either do it live virtually or on demand, and it was a lot of fun to see some familiar faces. The rest of the day was low-key since we had someone in to do the grout for a large part of the day. Super hot day yesterday so most of it was spent trying to stay cool/hydrated.
8/18: 132.3 -Normal workout plus a couple of games of pickle ball (one word or two?). This is my second time playing and my streak is in tact - I’ve lost every single game that I’ve played! :-). It was a fun little gathering on my friend’s driveway that she conveniently has enough room to put down the court lines. Quick dinner and then transitioned to hosting my neighborhood ladies that I crochet with. We are all complete novices and are watching youtube to learn how to make a sunflower square sweater. We’ve all concluded that if we actually get to enough squares to make a sweater, they will be the world’s most expensive ugly sweater.
8/19: 133.8 - Mini-binge and drinking wine two nights in a row are not helping my maintenance effort.
8/20: 133.6 -
8/21: 133.4 - Hmm forgot to post yesterday, but I did record my weight. Lots of baking yesterday meant that I did’t have time to get a real walk in, but did do my Jazzercise workout first thing.
8/22: 133.6 - Pizza dinner at a local park for the group we volunteer for. Pre-logged, so did okay there. Walked there and back, although it wasn’t all that far.
8/23: 134.7 - Yikes - not a good way to end the round. Did not get any workouts in yesterday because of timing issues, but if I really, really wanted to get it done I could have figured out a way. Very high sodium eating as well. Of course now I’m at the tippy top of my maintenance range…
8/24: -

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 2.0 pounds

@quiltingjaine - sorry you're experiencing vertigo. I've had it a few times and I live in dread that it will come back. One time I did go to the doc and he did this procedure (I forget the name) that basically "flings" the crystals in your inner ear area to some corner so they are not floating about anymore (I'm sure a medical person can be more accurate about this). That seemed to work.

🙂Round 196🙂

August 15 - August 24, 2022

Please join us starting on 8/15 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 196!

Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

So, yesterday started well and ended badly. I got into snacking after dinner. Starting now, I have 2 days home alone. I will eat on my own schedule and not have a family dinner every night. DH and DD1 are off to move her stuff from one house to another at her University.

Sandwich for dinner. Because I could.

Cookies for dinner. Because I could.

I enjoyed my 3 days of IF. Would do it if I lived alone. But I like my breakfast at about 9:30 and family dinner can be as late as 7:30.

Family life stops me doing a 16/8 IF, but 14/10 is still a good goal for me.

All good. Waiting for the scales to notice I have been eating at deficit.

Yesterday went wrong. We had some sort of mild flu in the house, feeling exhausted for no reason. Which led to sugar cravings and big overeating. Looks like this will be around where I gain.

I have done this challenge before and it really helped keep me on track to healthy living. I have since gained most of that weight back (and then some) but I'm not discouraged. I am a 21-year old varsity college athlete who is just looking to lean up a bit - taking small goals at a time as weight-loss isn't my goal - just trying to lean myself into a healthier lifestyle.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15: 193.0 - this past weekend was horrid but luckily this is my last week back home before I move back up to school for training camp and my Crossfit gym. Between the two of those I'm pretty sure I'll struggle eating enough rather than the other way around as practice and Crossfit are calorie scorcher. Looking forward to it though and today I'm going hiking so that's a plus!
8/16: 187.4 - great hike and cal deficit yesterday so hoping this isn't a fluke
8/17: 188.0
8/18: 188.0 - binged a bit last night so happy to see no change today
8/19: 188.8 - no exercise yesterday but big deficit. Big move and changes happening this weekend.
8/20: 190.0
8/21: 188.8 - moving today and back to the crossfit gym
8/22: DNW - scale was out of batteries and it was an incredibly busy day so couldn't be bothered to change 'em

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15 / 165.2 / Got up and walked my dog before work while the temperatures were still cool. Had a tough work from home day as the Internet was poor in my area today. Managed to get through and now I'll ride the Peloton before supper.
8/16 / 164.4 / Had a great Peloton ride last night and made lots of healthy food for supper and meals today. Had a smoothie for breakfast this morning which I haven't done in forever. Feeling good!
8/17 / 164.6 / My day was busy at work so I missed my lunch time walk. I have to go to the dentist shortly so I'm going to have to get my steps in before bed.
8/18 / 166.8 / Got my walk in before bed last night and hit 10K steps. Today I have to walk to the doctor and back at lunch so my steps should be decent by the time I get home from work. Quiet night planned as I'm off tomorrow hoping my hot air balloon ride finally goes ahead.. weather is looking right for it but if it does the meeting time is before 6 a.m.
8/19 / 167.8 / Hot air balloon ride was an absolutely outstanding experience. We also had time to go bike riding in the mountains. Really made the most of our day off.
8/20 / 166.8 / We are at the lake today. I am on call for work so I had to set an alarm.. feeling super tired after yesterday's big day. Our trailer neighbors have our dog as they looked after her for the day while we were out adventuring but they'll be up soon.. can't wait to see her (and them!)
8/21 / 167.8 / Took a big recovery day yesterday as I was super zonked from our activities Friday. We spent the day at the lake visiting with our lovely trailer neighbors who are dear friends. Good for the soul. Today hasn't been active yet either but we're about to take our dog out for a walk.
8/22 / 164.8 / Movement has been low the last two days so I'm planning to make sure I hit my minimum of 10K steps today. I got out for my first walk on my lunch hour.
8/23 / 164 / Got my 10,000 steps today so I feel good about that. Both lunch and dinner were out but I did the best I could with my choices. Another tiring day at work. Almost back to my start weight for the round.
