JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ROUND 216

SW: 144
Robyn here in SE Virginia. My goals this round are: 1) to continue planning/logging meals; and 2) NOT to reward my last round's success with extra food intake (this is what I normally do). I lost 4.6 pounds last round (yay!). My plan again is to hold off on weighing until the end of this round.

3/9: DNW - Our friends from Pittsburgh arrived yesterday afternoon (hooray!). We went out to eat last night at a great restaurant. I made good choices until back at home and then fell into old habits when DH fell asleep on the sofa. If I keep this up I'm going to do what I always do, which is to lose my progress from the last round. Our friends will be here for the rest of this round. I need to do a better job. I didn't track my food last night. That's part of the problem. Why do I think it's okay to eat more when not tracking, when I KNOW that I'm going over calorie budget?!? It starts with a handful this, then a handful of that, and then another handful (or two) of this and that! Ugh! Okay, now MY pity party is done. I WILL do better for the rest of this round. I took time off from work today and tomorrow. Going to have some more fun!

03/08 -190.6- (Trend weight 192.7) Tonight is the school concert for two of my grandsons. The kindergartner and the younger high schooler (of the two). It is the next town over where my own children went to school and graduated (before I moved). Normally, for my son and I, I would make it an evening out and go to dinner first while we are all dressed up in our Sunday best. However, I’m feeling strong in my diet resolve right now (such a blessing when that happens!), so I pre-cooked a nice dinner yesterday and promptly refrigerated it. Tonight I will pull it out, heat it up and call it done. Sticking to my guns when I can and while I can!
03/09 -192.2- (Trend weight 192.6) I’m disappointed because I did not eat back my calories and they were 69 under for the day. However, my carbs were over by a good amount. This could also be related to the fact that my TMI is not going well. I did end up going out to dinner after the concert last night. It was a new place in a nearby town that I had never been to, I just couldn’t resist, and I really wanted to take my son. I’m glad that I stayed under calorie and I REALLY REALLY watched my portions, but the carbs really bit me in the butt. Travel day today and I certainly don’t want to compound it. I’m pre-logging when I’m done here and making a plan. I know dinner will be that precooked food I put in the fridge. Gotta watch my lunch while out of town!

I’m pretty disgusted with myself, which I know doesn’t help, but there it is. I had one great, no-snacking round in Jan and then completely lost the thread. I’m restarting journaling today—I think it helps—and will really try not to “night nosh.” I went for a long meandering “sniff walk” with the puppy yesterday, including his first walk in the woods. That was a lovely hour or so. Not the faster walking I need to get back to, but peaceful, and great for his mental and emotional development. Maybe mine, too! It’s really cold and windy this morning with freezing rain on its way, so I’m going to bundle up and go for a walk right now. Might improve my attitude. I have a little job to do that’I’ve been putting off for two months, and I realized last night that not doing it is freezing me up from doing other things, if that makes sense. So I’m starting it today, hoping to finish over the weekend. I’ve been reading and rereading all your inspiring posts about success on this journey to rev myself up. Thank you for those!

Good Friday. I’m planning a good Saturday, too. And for all of you!

Went a bit off the rails yesterday, despite my plans. DH wanted KFC, so we had that for late lunch/early dinner. I removed the skin, so not too bad, but I was feeling really down about some things and really wanted cake, so I baked one and ate some. My calories still weren’t over goal, but so much fat and sugar! Then for some stupid reason this morning I had granola and almond milk for breakfast and now I feel yucky. Again, too much sugar, not enough protein (though I did add collagen powder, but it’s not the same as eggs). I’ve got to get back on track. Maybe salad for lunch, leftover skinless chicken for dinner. And better choices! I’m taking slices of cake to my neighbors! Happy Sunday!

I’m starting to feel like I’m trapped in Groundhog Day! Yesterday was good, and I had lots of fun with puppy Booker. It was his 4-month birthday, and we celebrated by taking a long sniff walk, and then taking the tests for his AKC Novice Tricks Dog, Virtual Home Manners—Puppy, and Virtual Home Manner—Adult (they have to be 4 months to take the first and last of those). He passed them all with flying colors. Good boy. He started doggy school this week—obedience fundamentals and scent work—and is by far the youngest dog in his classes. He did great. I’m having lots of fun with this guy — and he keeps me moving! Here’s his photo yesterday. ❤️

My 10 day friends....Let's DO this!!! I'm so glad I decided to search out this challenge again....My morning read to follow everyone's progress is inspiring and motivating. It keeps me on track everyday!!
25 days until we leave for Mexico...that's two and a half 10 day rounds, my goal is to get to 170...or under by then.
Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
R15 EW 3/02 - 175.2

Day, Weight, Comment
3/03 - 174.6 - nice little drop showed up this morning. We have reservations for another Localiscous restaurant tonight (3 course prix fixe menu) so aiming to eat light through the day and get in a good hike this morning with the doggo...the sun is shining, should be a good one!
3/04 - 175.2 - Later than usual dinner out last night....and wine....Ate super light calorie wise to save up for the splurge, it was worth it! Got in a hike yesterday....today that's not going to happen, like I've been reading from lots of you we got hit with the snow as well. Sounds like other areas in our province got it worse but we got a good 8" overnight. I'll be shoveling our steps and some neighbours while hubby blows out the driveways for exercise this morning...maybe a walk this afternoon once the sidewalks are cleared before we head up to the rec centre to watch my niece swim and then DS(15) has his last hockey game of the year playing for the league championship, conveniently the swim meet is at the same place as hockey...that NEVER happens LOL.
3/05 - 175.2 - Stuck here again...I think I sat here for a few days in a row end of last round, it must be a comfortable spot. Did not drink enough water yesterday. There was just so much going on with swimming and hockey (They won! Awesome game, fantastic group of kids). My sister and niece spent the night, was nice to have some time with them. I'll be at the pool again today to watch swimming, very different weekend routine so we'll see how I do with activity and food.
3/06 - 175.8 - result of a weekend out of routine and poor choices....it's Monday...fresh start! Trying to talk myself into a long walk today but I need to be back for a call later this morning...so need to leave now but I haven't finished my coffee.
3/07 -176.4 - yeah...food was great yesterday but happy hour wasn't...and I didn't get much activity in. Definitely heading to the woods today. We have my parent's dog for the week so I'm going to see how it goes with both of them. He's not very well trained and will likely pull my arm out of it's socket.
3/08 - 176.4 - Retaining something....I've been really great at planning and tracking my food calories but I've been losing the plot with a couple of drinks every day the last week, need to get that under control. Extra dog was pretty good in the woods yesterday, he's a bit pokey though, my Mackster and I are quick hikers. Today we're going over to a friends property for a snowshoe hike, not sure what muscles are going to feel it tomorrow, it's just ever so slightly different than regular walking.
3/09 - 175.2 - back here again...but at least it's heading down. Awesome hike yesterday, lots of hills. Will probably take it easy on the dogs today as they both crashed hard (our guy is in awesome shape for a large 10 year old dog and will walk all day in the woods if you take him but you can tell the day after a harder hike, especially in the snow, that he's not a pup anymore....mom and dad's dog is just used to walking with my 80 year old dad and only laps around the flat park trail). Hoping I'll have time to hop on the elliptical later today to add on some activity.

@CamandJarvis I have had taco pizza at several places in the past. Godfather's Pizza and Casey's to name a couple. It is not a pizza I usually choose, but I am never sorry when I do.2

Previous posts:
3/3: 220.6
/logged all; lots of slow walking/ Ok, so my walking was at Bass Pro Shops. It was actually more brain exercise than anything.
Today is a day of eating out. Lunch with a friend at Cracker Barrel; Supper with a few “alumni” from a firm I used to work for 25 years ago (an adult beverage may be consumed.); Followed by a euchre get together with another set of friends. No adult beverages, but plenty of trash to eat and some possible sleep deprivation.
And the whole day is stacking up to be “introvert behavior” deprivation. That will wear me out. HA!

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.8 -
@SModa61 I watched Katee Sackhoff's youtube videos and got inspired to be really clean with my diet for a whole month. So much from these videos about diet and exercise is about the importance of consistency with a clean diet. I didn't strength train for an hour a day but I did the shoulder and back exercises they showed (at home, no gym for me). 15-30 minutes a day. Steve Zim's Atomic Moms videos have shorts of easy exercises to do at home with light weights or a resistance band. I've been clean eating since February 1 with no added sugar or ultra processed foods or alcohol. The key lessons I learned was #1 consistency, #2 diet, #3 light weights, 20 reps, and stretching. For cardio I walk or do yoga mostly. I don't like getting out of breath so the easy workouts are the only way I can do it.

I decided it was time to get serious about losing weight on January 1 when I weighed in at 210. My ultimate goal is to be in the 160's by my 60th birthday in July, but my first goal was to be 185 by the wedding I am going to March 16. I will hopefully reach that goal this round.
SW RND 216 187.0
3/3 187.2 Had a good day yesterday, so not sure why the small uptick. Going out tonight, so I will try to behave myself...
3/4 186.1 Good! I was hoping that loss would show up today. Another night out tonight......
3/5 185.6 I am happy to see this number! I am almost to my mid March goal of 185. I wasn't sure it was possible when I started this in January.
3/6 185.8 I had a good day yesterday, so I'm not concerned about this uptick. I think my body is just adjusting to the big loss yesterday and the weekend of drinking some alcohol.
3/7 185.6 Had a good day yesterday. I think my body is still adjusting. Hopefully I'll have a drop tomorrow. We are meeting friends at Taco Tuesday, but no margaritas for me......
3/8 186.6 Drank wine at Taco Tuesday. It is showing on the scale...
3/9 185.8 Well, at least it's going down again.

SW RND 216
Goals:
#1 Eat a good diet of MOSTLY no added sugar, ultra processed foods, or alcohol.
#2 Strength train or yoga or some actitivy at least 30 minutes per day.
80/20 rule is in effect this round. I'm trying for weigh in Wednesdays through March.
3/3 DNW After dinner I logged my day of eating and saw I was under 100 g carbs and way below calories. I'd had entirely air fried vegetables and chicken for my meals and snacks so I was low on both fat and carbs at the end of the day. To rectify the situation, I put together a high carb and high fat dessert that I am now inclined to share with those who aren't low carb: frozen dates, sliced in half but not all the way through (open like a clam shell), filled with a small bit of Neufchatel cheese, and back in the freezer for the cheese to harden. These are my new favorite things! High calorie for sure, but sometimes you need the boost. If I let myself go to bed with too much of a deficit, I can't sustain my diet goals the next day.
3/4 DNW Good day yesterday. Stay the course.
3/5 DNW Lots and lots of stretching with a nice long walk. Had a big weekend breakfast of potato hash and eggs, similar lunch, and dinner was weird. I cut up heads of broccoli to roast that were about to go bad. Sprayed them with duck fat and seasoned with salt. That was delicious (yay duck fat) and so filling that I couldn't stomach anything more. Ended up going to bed early and sleeping like a normal person. Didn't wake up once in the night. Didn't sweat through the sheets. Also weird for me, I'm actually hungry for breakfast. I'm going to try to replicate that today and see if eating the bulk of my calories early in the day and having a really light dinner lets me sleep two nights in a row.
3/6 DNW so yesterday's plan didn't go as planned. One day is just a day. Things more important than having gone all out over calories: I had only one alcoholic drink. Look at me moderating my intake! I had all my servings of fruit and veg. I had a great day. I don't have a sugar or alcohol hangover today.
3/7 DNW Good day. My net calories for the week show I can expect .5-1 lb weight loss. I set my food diary goals to keep maintenance calories so it's easier to keep track of any deficit or surplus. Monday, Wednesday, Friday strength training and light movement/yoga on the off days should mean I'm maintaining as much muscle mass as possible. Keep at it.
3/8 125.6 Right direction! My arms around the biceps are both down .5 inch and my lower belly is down .5 inch. I've never before done so much glute focused exercise consistently. 3 days a week, from February 1 to today, the difference is noticable! I feel tighter, and I've been standing with better posture. This challenge is the only reason I've been able to stay consistent. I thought I had terminal pancake butt after losing so much weight and my butt flattened and vanished. It's not a pancake anymore!
3/9 Had dinner out last night and out of curiosity I weighed this morning...127.6. To my utter surprise this number didn't upset me at all! At dinner I chose a healthier entree that was still fatty and delicious, just not as fatty as my usual deep fried choice, and I abstained from drinking and still had a great time. Socializing is always a trigger to drink too much. I had a light drink at home and was really able to enjoy it and fully relax rather than using as social lubricant.

Round 216 Start Weight: 152.3
Round Goal: Weight out of the 150's into the 140's
3/3: 151.8 Overall good day yesterday, ate within my calorie allotment, and successfully stuck to my eating plan. I'm doing a little nutritional reset for the next 3 weeks & I am eliminating added sugar from my diet, I miss my morning hot cup of tea (won't drink it unsweetened) but other than that all is well. Had a good lower body Tabata workout but the remainder of the day was pretty low activity.
3/4: 150.7 Nice whoosh! Yesterday was a HIIT circuit workout and got in a little over 10,000 steps after a mostly inactive day before. Went to bed with a bit of a headache and still have it this morning, likely from not having the diet sodas (full of caffeine) that I am used to. Will see if it is still there after yoga and then take something but hoping to avoid having to do that.
3/5: 149.5 Yesterday's workout was a yoga sculpt with weights and partially through it, poof, my headache was gone, love that! Got in a little over 12,000 steps and was on target for food goals.
3/6: 148.7 Not a lot of steps yesterday but did get in an upper body weights workout + an ab workout. Switched up my dinner plans at the last minute and ended up a little too low on calories, being much more mindful today.
3/7: 148.3 A little over 11,000 steps yesterday plus a full body strength workout with weights, food/calories on point. Day 6 of no sugar and it was the 1st day without any cravings for a diet soda, progress!
3/8: 148.1 A low steps day again but did a lower body HIIT Tabata workout. Made a modified pork fried rice last night subbing in cauliflower rice (for rice) and coconut aminos (for soy sauce) to keep it within my current dietary goals. It actually seemed a little sweet, date 7 no sugar and the taste buds are changing.
3/9: 147.4 Yesterday was a rest day but still got in a little over 8,000 steps. Tried on some clothes for an upcoming trip (less than 2 weeks away!) and things are definitely fitting better which is encouraging. Also, pulled the plug & booked another fun trip for this summer, which gives me another goal to work towards once I reach my current one. I want to be in a bikini (and be happy & confident in it) for my summer trip.

3/3 216.9 (-0.0/-0.0) and holding after 5 days of downtrend. I am good with that! We were supposed to get 8 to 10 inches of snow in the next 24 hours. I was ready to be shut in....now it seems we might get a dusting! WOW!
3/4 DNW (-0.0/-0.0) I was good all day until the snack fairy arrived along with her friend Bad Decision Maker....lots of salt and not enough water, the scale would NOT be friendly - so I'm not going to look at it!
3/5 218.8 (+1.9/+1.9) Faced the scale this morning. A couple of days needed to reverse this trend then downward spiral again, would be nice. I need to get meals planned for the week....definitely the key to success!
3/6 218.2 (-0.6/+1.3) I really dislike losing the same pounds over and over again. But, whose fault is it anyway? Good News - It's Monday and my projection says that I should see 215 ish later in this round..... Got back on the treadmill this morning...slow but got it done! Water, Water everywhere....now just drink it!!!
3/7 218.6 (+0.4/+1.7) I came home and made this super healthy meal consisting of whole wheat pasta (not a lot), artichoke hearts, spinach and tuna. It was ok. My thoughts on super healthy meals - you really don't want seconds🙂 But at the end of the evening, I felt myself looking for something for a snack. I found a couple of cookies😉 So a half a pound is explained.
3/8 219 (+0.4/+2.1) Came home to dinner that my husband cooked. He NEVER cooks. Maybe that "healthy" meal inspired him. He made a turkey meatloaf (it was really good) with mashed potatoes, soup and a salad. Normally I'd pass on the mashed and soup but I couldn't disappoint his efforts. Another half a pound.
3/9 220 (+1.0/+3.1) Not the right direction but yesterday was a food day. Went to a fashion show where there was lots of wine and food (lunch). Didn't plan dinner so had leftovers from my husband's meal that he prepared. Rough week and totally off plan. Think I'm resetting to day 1. I'm making something with chicken breast today. Friday - no idea. Saturday we are going to take a tour of Wrigley Field and then go out to lunch....so that brings me to Sunday - Reset

@shmmm3 I'll check things out. Thank you so much for sharing. May I also ask your approximate age? As I am 61, I know I should see some degree of improvement, but want to be realistic.4 -
@SModa61 I'm mid 30s. Back when I first started exercising and built up the courage to finally go to the weights section of the gym, I became gym buddies with a lady in her 60s who was just starting out too. We helped each other with our form and encouragement and every time we saw each other we were better and better. I miss my gym buddy.5

My goals for this round is to log, stay under my calorie limit, do the plank challenge and get at least 22 active minutes each day.
Round 216 SW: 165.3 lbs
3/3: 166.0 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day. I think I am regreting the decision to do the planking challenge!
3/4: 166.4 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day.
3/5: 167.5 lbs
I had a big blowout at a celebration yesterday. It felt good to relax and enjoy the moment. I am thinking about taking a diet break and eating at maintenance for a while. I think it might be useful to train myself for maintenance since I feel like I can either lose or gain but I am worried I will struggle to maintain.
3/6: 167.3 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day. I have decided to eat at maintenance during the first week of April.
3/7: 165.6 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day.
3/8: 165.6 lbs
Didn't exercise but did stay within calorie limit.
3/9: 165.3 lbs
So it took until today to get back to my starting weight for this round after my blowout on the weekend. I haven't exercised and nor have I done any planking but I did say within my calorie limit. I think I need to do at least some weight training before I do any planking.

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.

3/3 – 148.4 lbs – Well, I am really pleased with my progress! I was looking back and I started these challenges on January 13, 2023 and I have lost 9.2 lbs since that time! Thanks @quiltingjaine! Considering the time of year (poor mental health + bad weather usually = annual weight gain, for me), and the fact that I am pretty close to my goal weight, this is wonderful! I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am TWO HUNDRED POUNDS LESS THAN I WAS IN 2005. Like wth? That is so bizarre. So bizarre. I mean it has been a roller coaster of losing and gaining since gastric bypass, for sure, but still. And now I have a glimmer of hope of being able to maintain this weight (145-150 lbs) by just continuing to log my calories, and walking every single day. I mean, it’s a pretty simple formula. It’s not rocket science. LOL! Anyhow, honestly, if I can lose 0.8 lbs by the end of this challenge, that would mean I have lost 10 lbs in 2 months, and that is more than okay by me! 😊 You will see that I have set A LOT of goals for this round. What I did was look back over the last 5 rounds and put together every single goal I have attempted since January 13th. (I left out a goal I had originally set about calming down on ice-cream sammiches, as I have completely stopped eating those.) Some goals I have been very successful at, some I didn’t achieve even once. So, I thought that for this round I’d try to go all in and challenge myself! The only new goal I’ve added is getting to the gym. I have reinstated my gym membership and I want to get back into the habit going 2-3 times per week. Anyhow, in the spirit of the success I have had over the last few days by posting this up in the morning and then feeling like I need to live up to all the “happy faces” I’ve projected for the day ahead, I am going to give myself all happy faces above and then do my absolute best to stay the course. Let’s go people! Let’s do this!! 😊
3/4 - 149.2 lbs – First of all: HAHAHA at myself for being so raring to go yesterday morning and then finding myself eating McDonald’s chicken nuggies and fries by the end of the day!! Like what the heck!! Where did my motivation go??? I only got 4/10 happy faces yesterday, AND I ate over 2500 calories!! Sheesh! Well, I guess you win some, you lose some. Let me try to do better today. However, I am a bit concerned because we are in the middle of another frickin’ blizzard and I am not even sure how I am going to take my dog out for pee-breaks, let alone walk him (and he is used to 1-2 hours of walking per day – pray for my sanity). It’s treacherous out there and I can see it is white-out conditions and I can hear the wind howling. So… this is going to be an interesting diet/exercise day. I don’t think am going to hit my 14K steps goal today. Wish me luck. Today is supposed to be a gym/strength training day according my schedule. I haven’t been there since before I rescued Goliath on January 2nd. This is going to HURT. Luckily my gym is just about a block away so I can walk over, if I can trudge through the snow on the sidewalks. I could use the weather as a reason to skip it, but I had planned to go today and I am really looking forward to starting up again. Because I had gastric-bypass, I am at high-risk of developing osteoporosis, so in addition to taking my supplements I am also supposed to be doing regular weight-bearing exercise to try to keep up my bone density. So it’s important to build this into my weekly schedule and stick with it. Oh, and you will see that my weight is up today. I am very close to going over the upper-level of my goal range. This is VERY motivating. I do NOT want to creep up. I need to nip this in the bud. With all your support, I know I can do it. 😊 I put in my pre-planned “happy faces” above and now I am going to post this so you all can hold me accountable! HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!
3/5 – 148.8 lbs – Well, yesterday was a decent day – 5/10 happy faces - and I am glad the scale is down a smidge. I did go over my calories yesterday by 330 cals, but I also walked almost 26K steps so I am not too worried about that. What I am worried about is the fact that I invited my sister, her daughter and daughter’s fiancé over for lunch today, and I said I’d order Chinese food. Now I am worried about the calories in Chinese food and wondering if I should a) just eat my Jenny Craig food while they eat Chinese food or b) try to cook us all something healthy. I am not much of a cook but I recently purchased a Ninja 13-in-one which is pretty easy to use. I’ll keep thinking about that and let you know how it goes. I mean, I know “treats” are okay sometimes, but on the other hand, I can enjoy their company and feed them healthy food instead of salty, greasy, (delicious) Chinese food which will result in a bump up on the scale tomorrow. I still haven’t been to the gym and I am actually motivated to go right now, which I think I will do, even though I feel weird about it because I have walked my dog every day at this time since I brought him home from the shelter. I feel bad leaving him behind. Also, I usually enjoy my walks with him around 4-5 AM as he is dog-reactive and we don’t run into many other dogs at this time, so it is our best walk of the day. So if I gym now and walk him later, being a Sunday morning, we will definitely run into other dogs, which is inevitable but also markedly less fun. Anyway, I am not going to pre-log my happy faces this morning, as I have no idea how the day is going to go. Obviously, I am a little indecisive this morning. LOL. Wish me luck.
3/6 – 148.6 lbs – Well, the Chinese food lunch yesterday did not go as planned. Let’s just leave it at that. On the flip side, I am super proud of myself for getting back to the gym yesterday morning. And I am also impressed with myself for being proud of getting back to the gym instead of fixating on the fact that I didn’t do my entire routine or beat myself up for the fact that I needed to do less weight and fewer reps. I was just happy with myself for making it there. That is a HUGE improvement in my attitude and I feel like it shows significant progress. 😊 In addition to going to the gym, I also got in 23k steps. So overall it was a good day for exercise. I am a bit concerned with the fact that at some point yesterday I just gave up on logging my calories. I lost track with the Chinese food and after that things kind of went to hell in a handbasket, which is NOT a sign of progress. LOL. It is that old mentality of “oh well, the day is already ‘ruined’, I might as well eat anything and everything now, especially since I stopped logging for the day!”. It is not a wise approach, as I have learned time and time again in my weight loss journey. Er, weight-gain journey.

That's crazy. I'm originally from Michigan City, IN. I lived only maybe 10 miles from Michigan.
So it's pizza crust. Instead of pizza sauce, it's either refried beans or refried beans/salsa mix. Then taco-seasoned ground beef and mexican blend cheese. I'll add olives and chopped fresh tomatoes. After finished baking, while still hot, I had shredded lettuce and more fresh tomatoes (not required, to taste). Eat with taco sauce/salsa and/or sour cream.2 -

We can get taco pizza both places (at Casey’s..gas station, great pizza, and also Pizza Ranch in IA) Sometimes can get chicken taco, but usually beef taco. In answer to someone’s question, crust, sauce, refried beans (I think), meat, chopped lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cheese, crushed Doritos. Taco sauce packets optional. That’s the ones here.
Oh, doritos! We used doritos with taco salad since I don't make the fancy tortilla bowl. This is extremely fascinating all the various places that do and don't have it. Fun discussion, though! Glad you chimed in. Also -- I miss Casey's gas station pizza. We had that in NW Indiana. Quite delicious!2 -

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 over 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/03--235.0 Went to pilates this morning. Going out for dinner tonight with hubby, so expect weight to be up tomorrow.
3/04--236.1 Had a great dinner last night at a Tapas restaurant. Today I went to gym and did some lifting, ran around and did some errands, and then relaxed for most of the day. Out for a hike tomorrow and lunch afterwards.
3/05--235.6 Went out for a 6-mile hike today and then went out for brunch and dessert.
3/06--235.8 Weight training today. I set up a gym in my basement during the height of Covid. Once the gyms opened up again, I got a membership at my neighborhood gym because I got bored of working out at home alone, but sometimes, like today, it's nice to just go down to the basement while working from home and get a workout done. Ate a salty dinner today, so won't be surprised if there is a bump tomorrow.
3/07--235.8 Pilates this morning. Going to community orchestra practice this evening. My scale has been acting up the last couple of weeks and I got another error message today. It may be done. I do have another scale that I can use, so if I can't fix my old scale I will start using the new one tomorrow, so my numbers will probably be off with the new scale.
3/08--235.9
3/09--236.7 Forgot to post yesterday. Yesterday was weightlifting at the gym and then pilates. Today was the day I go into the office, so I took a day off from working out. Using new scale going forward.
