    My goal for this round is to just keep showing up and posting here. I did well last round to get back in track but I have been losing focus and dropping out during the last few rounds. I know if I don't post I will gain. I still have around 1 pound to lose to get back to my lowest weight recorded during these challenges so that will be my goal for this round. I will certainly think twice before taking a diet break next time!

    SW RND 225: 164.0 lbs

    6/1: 163.6 lbs
    6/2: 164.2 lbs
    6/3: 164.7 lbs
    I need to turn this around. I have pre logged everything today. I will exercise of the elliptical after this post. "If you don't do what's best for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end." - Julius Erving.

    6/4: 163.8 lbs
    I achieved my daily goals yesterday. Now I need to consistently do this for the rest of the round.

    6/5: 163.1 lbs

    6/6: 163.8 lbs

    6/7: 162.9 lbs
    My weight graphing tool tells me my weight is trending down finally. I have been consistent with achieving my daily goals. If I maintain this weight through to the end of the challenge, I will be satisfied.

    6/8: 161.8 lbs
    I think I am dehydrated and very stressed which has resulted in the overnight drop.

    6/9: 162.9 lbs
    I am feeling better hydrated today so my weight yesterday was probably just a blip.

    6/10: 162.5 lbs
    I have lost 1.5 pounds this round. I am satisfied with that result. I am pleased I am back in track after a wobbly start. Now to keep the momentum going - on to the next round!

    Switched to my new scale, so hopefully my weights will be more accurate.

    Round 225
    Starting Weight- 147
    Current weight- 148
    10 Day Goal-I would love to get down to and stay under my starting weight. Keep up healthier eating. exercise the majority of days, and drink more water. I also need to remember to take my vitamins.
    Ultimate Goal Weight: Sub 130
    6/1 145.9 No gym, but maintained calories. Did a bit of meal prep.
    6/2 145.2 Today was spent doing major housework. No gym, but definitely an active day. Ended up missing lunch and have junk for dinner. I'm guessing I came in around calories but wan't able to find an accurate amount.
    6/3 145.0 No gym again today, but Went to Sea World and walked around. Waited until I got home to eat. Came in under calories.
    6/4 145.9 I am so tired today and my back and thighs are sore. Trying to convince myself to get up and move, but really just want to stay in bed. Okay, I forced myself to get up and get moving. Managed to complete a 90 minute walk. Still tired but feeling accomplished. Stayed under calories.
    6/5 145.5 34 minute walk. Stayed under calories.
    6/6 145.0 65 minute walk. More meal prepping. Under on calories.
    6/7 144.8 Finally got my walk in at 10pm. 44minute walk. Under calories. Having some food premade and measured is definitely helping.
    6/8 144.4 Another late night walk. 47 minutes. Under calories. Dentist tomorrow.
    6/9 143.9 No exercise today, but did stay under calories.
    6/10 143.2 48 minute walk, Under on calories.
    Happy to have a loss this round. I didn't go to the gym at all, but did a lot of outside walking. The walks outside are much more relaxing, but the weather is getting way too hot for them. I will probably try to stick to outdoor walks for as long as I can. This round also has me back into the normal range for BMI. (the top of it but I will take the win.)
    SW RND 224 147 lbs. EW 148 lbs

    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!
