    10/14: DNW - Traveling - good day hiking, but a lot of snacking and a celebration dinner/dessert
    10/15: DNW - Traveling - I’ve been eating breakfast the last few days which I rarely do at home. Today I did get some exercise, but it wasn’t all that intense. Lots of nibble the rest of the day.
    10/16: DNW - Traveling - only a short hike/walk with some touring of a town we’re visiting.
    10/17: DNW - Traveling - touring Benington VT today. Not a lot of good choices when it comes to food
    10/18: DNW - Traveling - Local hike and then a couple of brewery visits.
    10/19: DNW - Traveling - Travel day by car for 6+ hours, so no exercise
    10/20: DNW - Traveling - Travel day by planes, trains and automobiles. Some walking, but not much
    10/21: DNW - Traveling - Husband’s birthday, so we got in some good exercise but food wasn’t all that healthy. Attended a welcome reception for a friend’s wedding.
    10/22: DNW - Traveling
    10/23: DNW - Traveling

    Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: +/- 0 pounds

    I want to keep focused on my exercise and eating even though I don’t have any way to weigh myself. Hope it’s okay to keep participating in the challenge.

    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.

    10/14 122.0
    10/15 120.0 And this is what happens when I DON’T eat wheat! Two days of mostly carnivore eating after ONE SUPER HIGH CARB meal on Wednesday!
    10/16 120.5 Joining my ladies at my daughter’s to “make” soap. It’s melt and pour so should be fairly easy. I bought lemon and vanilla oils and I’m going to cut some rosemary to add and to share. BONUS - visit with DGGS!
    10/17 121.0 Plans yesterday postponed due to DD having stomach problems.😢😢Great Greek for early lunch before learning that we cancelled. Going to try to get school library straightened out today and tomorrow. The library assistant doesn’t speak English and is clueless about how to shelve books! DD said the library is a mess.
    10/18 121.0 Late dinner at BBQ place with family. Worked 3 hours at DD’s school library, mostly standing. Going back today after mani. Manis are something I have decided I “deserve” after all the years of taking care of family and friends for over 50 years.
    10/19 120.5. Got the school library fairly shipshape until the aide starts putting things away. Got my mani. Nails are a little shorter than I wanted but they’ll grow. I love the color I picked and if I had gone to the pool AT ALL this summer (=tan), they would be very striking. Meet the candidates Night in our community. DH is running for HOA board with the hope of bringing SOME fiscal responsibility. Consequently we are making goodies. He’s making chocolate chip cookies and I will make my “famous” brownies. From scratch is so much better than a mix and these are so easy.
    10/20 121.5 Too many “goodies” but I didn’t eat anything anyone else brought. The majority of the people attending last night supported the 3 new candidates and the 2 current board members running for reelection (current president and a yes woman) did not get the applause on their responses. I could go on and on but will spare you. I’m eager for blind neighbor to return and being able to fast a bit longer.
    10/21 121.5 Beautiful evening yesterday. Sat outside with neighbors for a few hours.
    10/22 123.0 Not surprised- I have been craving salt the last couple of days and drinking LOTS of water - had over 100 oz yesterday plus coffee and XL Coke Zero.

    10/17 165.4- day one; stuck to my calorie goals, 20 min peloton, 90+oz water!
    10/18 164.8
    10/19 162.8 still on the plan! A bit carb withdrawal but I'm still going!

    @SheilaBoneham I am devastated for you. I work at a vet that does a lot of behavior work and the behavior cases that come to this decision are usually the most heartbreaking. I know you gave it everything you could and so did Rory. You’re right, the demons can’t follow. I am so so so sorry for your loss. It was kind of you to set him free. I will be thinking of you and if I could I would wrap you in a big hug ❤️

    10/22 - 159.2 - Expected sodium bloat and not nearly as bad as I anticipated. Went to the local hibachi/sushi place for dinner. I kept it as clean as possible, no alcohol, and portioned so I walked out (for the first time ever) not feeling overly full, but simply satisfied. I'm about 100-150 calories under goal for the day today. As long as dinner holds (smoked wings) I shouldn't need an evening snack later. No alcohol today, either. Should have no problem finishing my last bit of water to hit my goal. No workout so hopefully I can get some extra movement tomorrow to meet my goal of 3 workouts a week. I think yoga is in my future (:

    Previous Day's Comments
    10/14 - It's very tiny, but it's a drop! I was over calories but under maintenance yesterday so I was expecting a bump up. BF had requested dinner be a meal I had made myself for lunch one day (he tried it then and loved it). It's a bit of a calorie bomb despite all the veggies. Brunch was also a bit of a splurge thinking it'd hold me over until dinner. Unfortunately I needed a small snack which pushed me over. Today I'm going to ease into a rowing workout since I think my body is readjusted and ready enough to get back into more challenging workouts. Likely a 5 or 10 minute one, though, so as not to overdo it. Also aiming for a less calorie-dense brunch to allow for a mid-afternoon snack to hold me over. Completely unsure of dinner but the weekend always gets me so I'm trying to set myself up strong to make it through the weekend without a huge gain (bloat may be another thing, but I can handle that over an actual gain)
    10/15 - DNP
    10/16 - DNP
    10/17 - Renovation work all weekend on Fam's house. Once again couldn't keep up water no matter how hard I tried. I'm back on the routine today with work so hopefully it'll drop off in a day or two. Just completed a 20 minute full workout (warm up and cool down included) on the rowing machine. Tonight's dinner is a garlic parmesan pasta with chicken. Crock pot meal but BigBro liked it the last time I made it so I said I'd make it again for him. Will be careful early in the day to avoid overeating. Logging that as soon as I'm done typing this up so I know what I have to work with. Hoping to fast as long as possible but we shall see how my body reacts to my first big workout in weeks when it comes to requiring fuel.
    10/18 - MFP is all kinds of funky. It doesn't recognize my login when I try to log food, but it allows me to log in when I post? Oh well, logging works on my phone app at least. Not sure the uptick. I drank all my water and was 427 calories under yesterday (297 from exercise). I didn't work out this morning, I had a rough night tossing and turning and simply was not feeling it. Most, I'm assuming, was due to the dog hogging all my blankets most of the night (as soon as I'd get them back and fall asleep, she'd steal them again). Hopefully tomorrow is better. Also had the unfortunate realization that I thought today was Wednesday and it is, in fact, only Tuesday. More time to get back on track and drop some of this weight before the weekend upends me again, I suppose. Not sure dinner tonight. I have leftovers from last night's dinner for lunch. Still fasting and hoping to hold on to that until lunch if I can without getting grouchy. Or BF telling me to eat because my stomach is rumbling so loud it's distracting him hahaha it definitely happened yesterday. And it's growling at me as I type (though I don't feel hungry at all so I'm ignoring it and BF is on a work call so he can't hear it). Hopefully chugging this water will quiet it and get me back on track since I'm a tad behind without having the workout to spur my thirst on. Hope today is wonderful for you all!
    10/19 - There it is, that drop I've been hoping for! Now to hold on to it. No workout this morning, I woke up mid-dream again and it took nearly a half hour to convince myself out of bed. Still a tad groggy, but better. I was over my goal by 14 calories due to lack of movement, but still in a big enough deficit. Not sure dinner tonight but lunch is leftover tacos. Wish I had some spinach or lettuce to make a taco salad instead, but alas, I do not. Quite hungry this morning to the point of feeling a little light headed so I went ahead and had something small to break my fast. Much improved now, thankfully. EDIT: My computer decided to panic and die on me before I could post and MFP is being a turd all around by giving me issues both on the computer and on the app. Think I'm good now, though. At least it saved my draft! Today will likely be a bust food-wise simply because of breakfast. Going to try for some extra movement in the coming hours to make up for it. I currently only have 23 calories left in my budget, oof! If I'm able to keep it below 1800, though, I should be at or below maintenance which shouldn't pose a problem.
    10/20 - No hugs needed. I promise. There it was and there it went! Not too worried. Last night's dinner didn't thaw out as planned so we had to switch dinners. Tonight was supposed to be pizza night (Thursday Night Football) and last night smoked chicken thighs. Instead, pizza last night and thighs tonight. I wasn't going to hit calorie goals anyway, so yesterday was a bust. At least it all happened in one day and today I can focus on getting back to it! I DID just finish a 10 minute rowing workout (with 10 minutes for warmup/cooldown) finally so feeling more positive about hitting today's goals. I also love my new Fitbit with the exercise option of "rowing machine". My old Fitbit didn't have that and I had to log using 'workout' and maaaaybe remember to change it to 'rowing machine' in the app after I finished. Lunch is leftover homemade bierrocks which I had frozen from a few weeks ago. Unsure sides with dinner, but I'm pre-logging what I can to ensure I have some wiggle room. And I'm not hungry right now which bodes well for fasting until lunch. Now if I can manage today's positivity and goal-focused mindset through the weekend
    10/21 - Back down it goes, just as I had hoped. And much quicker, at that! I have a bit of a scratchy throat this morning and some serious jaw pain. I guess despite my nightguard, my jaw will still be achy when I grind my teeth and I might still get a little swollen scratchy throat feeling (this is me hoping it's that or allergies and not sickness). No workout this morning and not sure I'll get one in with the jaw pain-induced migraine I'm dealing with. Tonight is a plan to eat out on the way to a high school football game. FamHub's friend apparently coaches the other team? Neither are teams any of the kids go to, so it's really just to see the friend and have an excuse to watch football. I'm watching my food intake, already debating my lunch options to give me the most wiggle room for dinner out. Keeping up with my water and tea, though, in hopes I'll feel a bit better by this evening. Not sure weekend plans, but I'm hoping to at least keep mine chill and quiet. Aiming to avoid all alcohol for the weekend if possible. I had a glass of wine Monday with dinner. Half a glass of beer Wednesday (split with BF) and nothing otherwise. I do feel better. Peer pressure will be a challenge but I'm determined to see myself through. Especially since I know beer is what kills my calorie budget and wine or hard liquor kills my ability to portion control food. (When I drink a glass with dinner, I portion my plate BEFORE I pour or take a single sip of wine to offset that)

    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!

    10/20 -201.0- (Trend weight 200.3)

    10/21 -201.8- (Trend weight 200.4) I did great yesterday until I didn’t. At least I was able to move more, get in more steps and a bit more activity.

    10/22 -202.2- (Trend weight 200.6) I polished off the last of the Thai dinner last night. Meals were on track. Uptick is likely from lack of sleep, bloat from no water pill and no TMI. Babysitting today. I’ll keep my meals light and thanks to my DGS, I’ll be getting all my steps and stairs in!

    10/23 -202.0- (Trend weight 200.7) My steps and overall calories burned yesterday were above my goals. I honestly thought this drop would be bigger but it is what it is I guess. This was a great goal reaching round for so many. Congrats to all and many thanks to Jaine. See you in the next round.

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

    Day/Weight/Comment
    10/14 / 168.4 / Friday is my work from home day. I had my second appointment of the week that verified I no longer need CPAP therapy for sleep apnea after my 120+ pound weight loss. A real victory. Had a nice night with my husband and I need to get to bed soon.
    10/15 / 170.2 / Super busy day - brunch with friends, coffee and a walk with my dog and another friend, supper out with my husband and family.
    10/16 / 171.8 / Yesterday was a big day of food and I was over on my calories. We had meals out with two different sets of people. I did get my steps in.
    10/17 / 169.6 / We had a huge day of biking yesterday and then we stayed up late to watch the taped Bills game. Today was smoking busy at work.. thank goodness it was a work from home day.
    10/18 / 169.6
    10/19 / 170
    10/20 / 171.6 / Since I last checked in I had a busy day in office, a meal out to celebrate my wedding anniversary, one night of business travel which included a massive food and alcohol binge, and well.. here I am. Today is back on track but I need to get out of this yo-yo as my average weight in trending up.
    10/21 / 170 / Colder day here today. After work my husband and I have a cooking class together.
    10/22 / 169 / Hubby and I had a great time at the cooking class. Today he was volunteering all day so I got some work done, visited a relative in the hospital, went to a movie, and rode the Peloton. Busy day!
    10/23 / 168.4 / Proud to have lost this 10 days and excited to move forward in the next 10 as well. Today after on call duties my husband and I are going to watch the Honens piano competition with a supper out in between.
