Disappointing but not surprising. Not only has it been a couple of long and stressful days at work, with social eating and a little bit of emotional eating, but I also pinched my sciatic nerve during a workout on Monday night so I haven't been able to move much. Some wins though are that I have noticed less cellulite on my stomach, my face is less puffy and my stomach is flatter in general. I should probably do some measurements again soon to see if there's any change. I didn't want to weigh today but if I don't, then I go off track, so I'm proud to come back after only skipping 1 day. Back to food tracking and calorie goals today. I'll also do a walk to get some movement in.

07/12 134.0# I’ve been on track with food plan. Summer seems easier with all the choices of veggies and fruits to fill up on. Heading south to see my son and his family and we usually get pizza once for dinner, will see how that goes.

Hi, all. I'm new and looking for motivation to keep going after the first week.

Jen; 46; 5'4"

About Me:

Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. Last Wednesday, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going (especially during this trying week of my son's 13th birthday because he wants homemade pizza which is my hugest weakness and zucchini cake).

RND 229
heaviest: 294 (7/5/23)
SW: 287.8
GW (short term): 275
RGW: 285?

7/11 - 287.8 - 1.33 miles - after walking over 9 miles the past seven days, my legs are killing me. I started with a goal of 1 mile every day but quickly pushed up to 1.5+ but after three of those days in a row, I started noticing more pain and stiffness. I'm definitely overdoing it after not walking much for years (thanks chronic fatigue). I'm also getting stress pains in my shins in one certain spot on each side that I've tracked down to the way I walk while crossing over the numerous driveways in our neighborhood causing one foot to be at an odd angle. I've decided to reverse directions every other day so one side doesn't get more of a workout (also considering maybe just walking in the street but there are a lot of parked cars and a bit of traffic). As a reward for my hard work this last week, I had two mini ice cream cones for dessert today (~120 calories total).

7/12 - 287.0 - 1.07 miles - cut back on my walk today to start giving my legs a bit of a rest and tried to really focus on eating well. Had a delicious sandwich for lunch with lots of healthy stuff on the side (grape tomatoes, baby carrots and a pickle) then had extra meat with dinner and still came in under enough that I could have some popcorn if I wanted (which I'm considering as I'm finally sitting down to watch a show that caught my eye the other day... I haven't watched TV in months)

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 229 (my 160th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is yet again the same as last; to get back under and stay under 139. Holiday to Menorca is now in 63 days, if I don’t crack on I’ll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes and I do not want to do that. So, 63 days, 6 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down!! Really try to stay on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

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 6 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

"Do or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

SW RND 229 128.5
This will be a round of food danger for me. We’re going to southern Illinois where everything has added sugar - LOTS of added sugar. I will weigh on the first day and then head to the airport. I will be without a scale until the 20th.
7/11 128.0 We’re on the plane headed to St Louis and southern Illinois. No scale until the 20th when we get back home. I’m also going without my Keto Mojo until then.
7/12 DNW Finally ate at destination and splurge on all things. Margarita and chimichanga, no rice or beans. Because of time zone changes we were on my OMAD schedule.
7/13 DNW Day 2 of reunion trip. We ate lunch at our favorite local BBQ place and have decided our place in Las Vegas is better. OMAD at noon was pork chop and 8 corn nuggets - another food marked off the list as not as good as I remember it. It’s amazing how my taste has changed. Even the tiny taste of blackberry cobbler was MEH. Posting really early due to screwed up body clock/time zone switch.

7/12 – 141.8 lbs. Up -- lbs this round and 6.8 lbs to goal; 67/228 miles for July. My weight is creeping up and it is starting to worry me. Hubby is still home (likely till 17th) and we have been eating out a lot and having lots of treats! I have not been logging but have continued to weigh myself to keep track of the damage. I think I’m ready to start paying attention again…. Here’s hoping! I finally sent in my resignation to the job that has been making me feel so useless these past several months. I am not leaving government but I will be returning to my “home” position. This is kind of giving myself a “demotion” but I honestly was a lot happier at my old position. Time to make a change. I am taking a medical leave until they figure out the details of when I can go back to my old position. I am really looking forward to returning to my old job where I felt helpful and valued and that my opinions and recommendations were respected and supported. This “learning experience” at the more senior level has been an abject failure, but I am feeling okay with that, at this point. Live and learn, right? Wanted to give a HUGE thank you to those who left me messages of support regarding my 1 year of sobriety. I really appreciated that! The official day is July 28th, so a few more days. 😊 Also, a couple of you left messages of thanks to me for sharing the coping strategies that I’ve learned. I am happy to share what I know! Please private message me any time if you’d like to talk about dealing with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts/ideation, recovery from childhood sexual/physical/emotional trauma, C-PTSD, BPD, fibromyalgia, addiction, coping strategies, breathing techniques, meditation, mindfulness, medication, DBT, etc. I am no expert but I have gone through a butt-load of counselling and therapy over the years. LOL! Sometimes it is just helpful to talk things out with a stranger. 😊
7/13 – 140.6 lbs. Down 1.2 lbs this round and 5.6 lbs to goal; 69/228 miles for July. I am SUPER behind on my steps goal for this month. Holy heck. I better get at er! Thankfully my weight is down slightly. I was able to track my calories all day yesterday and only went over my goal by 46 cals, so I am not too distressed by that. Found out yesterday that they hope to get me back to work (at my “more junior” position) on July 24th, so I’m looking forward to that, even though it might be a bit awkward. (“Hi guys! I’m back! I failed at the job that I have wanted since I came to government! The only reason I got into government to begin with! Yeah, nice to see you too!”) Oh well, not much I can do. I just sucked at that job, and/or wasn’t trained or supported properly. I am sure I am not the only one who ever tried a new job and sucked at it!

Good Luck to all this month, I am always opposite girl...Started off last month with holiday and kept on track and totally fail the next weekend. But my son visited and I just had so much fun cooking with him. So going to try to measure everything while at home, I do find tracking what you eat to be the best method control my weight

R228 07/10/23: end weight 125.8
R229 07/20/23: goals — be less when I end round...resting squats 10 minutes a day, measure my food, do my pt exercises

Day, Weight, Comment
7/11 -125.2 Tuesday may be the best day to start, away after the weekend gives my body a day of normal eating, drinking more water so less bloated. But Monday has to be the worse day to end, so ended last round where I started. This round will be complicate at the end since I need to travel for work next week. Time zone changes, dining out, and a work luncheon. The hotel I am staying at has a wonderful gym, the advantages of going to Texas in July, hotel rooms are a great deal so able to stay at beautiful place.

7/12 - 122.8 Did not see this coming! Time and tim again I experience and hear the stories if you trust the system CICO ( calories in calories out) it will work. Maybe it should be PCICO (PATIENCE!!!) The patience part being the hardest. I have been trying hard to track what I eat, that is so key for me. I was so hungry yesterday afternoon, I came up and made a turkey sandwich- I measured used that Dave's thin bread but still stayed in my calorie allotment but ate what I wanted to eat when I wanted to eat. Sorry to paddle on but just amazed to out of the blue drop... when several times before I was sure i would wake up and weigh less and weighed more. Hope you all have a blessed day.

7-13 -123.2 Mystery is back...I think when I saw 122.whatever I became 122...I am actually a little perturbed I crossed to 123, when 123 was my goal these 10 days in first place. I really do need to find a therapist but I had such a wonderful therapist who went on to do greater things-help at risk kids- ( I am very happy for her) but sad for me. Starting again seems so daunting. Drat this narrative has strayed! Off to see the orthopedist to evaluate my hip today- I really had a bad fall playing pickleball. Hopefully I can straighten both my shoulder and hip out and start maximizing getting in shape.

Early Morning Comments

7/11 - Today is the first day of the 10 day challenge. I woke up feeling better this morning. I am waiting on the pediatric dermatologist to call me about my daughters medication. I will then take my meds and head to the basement to do my strength training, in the past if I had an appointment I would have skipped my weight training to go get my work done first with the idea that I would come home after work and do it. That never happened so now I am going to get it done first, even if it means that I work a bit later in store during the day. Choices, it's all about choices.
7/12 - Today is going to be another long day. I have to go out early and get my stores done so that I can be home by 11 so hubby can go out. We are having an energy assessment done on our house to see if we qualify for a federal grant to get our windows and roof done.
7/13 - Today is a day off for me. I am going to take my daughter for some blood work and myself for mine. I have an intake meeting at 10am for myself and then we get to go to Costco for camping food.

7/2 - 189.4 - bad day. Didn't track, didn't wear Fitbit most of the day 1,894 steps (69,618 left) 1 Floor (70 left), 5 Zone Minutes (386 left). Water not tracked. Smoke and bad air quality was back.. Spent the day baking donuts and watching TV, not great.
7/3 - 190.4- good day, didn’t track my food that well . Strength training completed, 6,902 steps (62,716 left), 5 Floors (65 left), 31 Zone Minutes (355 left).
7/4 - 191.6 - overall good day. Didn’t track food or water I really need to get this on lock. Rest day from strength training, muscles are sore from the other day. 9,443 steps (53,273 left), 3 floors ( 62 left), 31 Zone minutes (324 left). I listened to 2 episodes of the coaches cup podcast. Took Farley for a walk last evening, we didn’t go as far the other day but we got out and he had fun
7/5 - 190.4 - average day, it got a little hot in the afternoon and the smoke was really bad again from the fires. I finished tracking my food this morning. I was over for my calorie count. My water was little low, still need to work on that. 8,752 steps (44,521 left), 4 floors (58 left), 81 Zone Minutes (243 left). Farley and I didn't get out for our walk due to the air quality. I did a new strength training workout. Found it on YouTube Senior Fitness Seated Dumbbell Workout For Beginners | 20 Min, it is part of a workout series Senior Fitness with Meredith. I think that I am going to continue to use this one.
7/6 - 189.8, not the best day. Started out really good, but then the pull of my chair and cheese pleasures got to me. Thinking that maybe I should throw out my chair or at least make it so that I can't just sit easily. I tracked my food this morning, which is better then not tracking but I need to get in the habit of tracking as the day goes. I was just under for my calorie count, barely and in truth because I didn’t track as I ate I probably under represented what I ate. My water intake is still very low, need to work on that. 5,961 steps (38,560 left), 2 Floors (56 left), 36 Zone Minutes (207 left). Farley and I did not get out for a walk last night it was simply too hot for him. I think that I am going to have to start taking him in the morning.
7/7 - 190.0 - Did the second day of my weight workout, again at 2lbs. Thinking that on Sunday when I do it again I will increase my weight to 5lbs. Had a visit from a friend and helped him out with some computer stuff. I didn’t take any time to sit around in my chair until after dinner. My step count was horrible. I did nothing almost all day and man does it show. 3,561 Steps (34,999 left), 1 Floor (55left), 5 Zone Minutes (202 left). Farley and I did not get out for a walk again.
7/8 - 187.4 - Took Farley for a walk, we didn’t go as far because he was puling too much. Hubby's friend came over last night to play pool. I spent my evening watching Grey's. I started watching this a while ago on Netflix and only have 3 seasons left. My step count was not good but it was a stress free day. 6,985 Steps (28,014 left), 1 Floor (54 left), 36 Zone Minutes (166 Left).
7/9 - 188.4, Took Farley for a walk this morning he was much better. Came home and did my strength training video. I increased the weight from 2bs to 5lbs. Made it harder but still doable. Then I started to tackle the garage. Wow we simple have too much stuff. Had an awesome day for my stats. 11,359 Steps (16,655 left), 3 Floors ( 51 left), 81 Zone Minutes (85 left). I am not going to meet my goals for this week.
7/10 - 190.8 Day started out great. Had a doctors appointment. Going back on my anti-depressants for a while. Did some work then came home and went to bed. Just simply not feeling well at all. Hubby and youngest all felt the same way. 5,393 Steps (11,262 left), 2 Floors (49 left), 11 Zone Minutes (74left) I am going to have to work at my goals another week. [ /Spoiler]

07/13 - 151.3 - Ooookay? TOM hasn't hit but it's due any point in the next 4 or so days and I'm expecting to have some water retention from that still. I logged on the high end of calories for the day, as well. Maybe salt retention dropped off? I don't know, honestly. My hip is still bothering me a bit from sprints on Tuesday so I decided to do my intervals on the rower today instead. Still cardio, as planned! Took dogs for a walk after to cool down only to realize it's so hot and humid out already I didn't stop sweating or cool off at all. At least my heart rate had a chance to level out haha If we go to Fam's, it'll be curry and naan for dinner, otherwise I'm not sure. I still have enough leftovers for another burrito bowl for lunch today. As usual, will pre-log what I can

Previous Day's Comments

07/11 - I'm sore muscle-wise and I went on a very hot fire call yesterday. I'm sure I'm holding on to some water from slight dehydration plus my muscles. I still managed 90oz but not near enough after sweating for almost 2 hours in gear. I don't look as puffy as yesterday so hopefully this bloat will be gone by tomorrow. Today I did 10 rounds of fast run (almost sprint) for 60 seconds, walk/recover 30 seconds before I came to get the dogs for a cooldown walk with them. Dinner tonight will be homemade Taco Bell Crunchwrap supremes that I'm slowly getting better at making. Not sure lunch. Also have to drop off my Jeep to get worked on. Hopefully it's nothing at all. It's a busy busy day for me not even accounting for work.
07/12 - I'm holding on to something.... I'm wondering if TOM is causing me to retain water and bloat. I'm not due for several more days, but bodies are weird and who knows? I was under calorie goal yesterday and had 80oz water. I'm still a tad sore, but not as bad as yesterday so not sure I'm retaining water from that. Today my goal is 90oz, staying under calorie goal, moving every hour, and hitting 10k steps. I did my doggie walk and kettlebell workout already this morning. Lunch will be a burrito bowl with leftovers from Crunchwrap copycats last night plus some black beans (we used up all the refried beans). Not sure dinner yet. Trying to fast until lunch, if possible. Otherwise, 2 hard boiled eggs OR a salmon packet. I will pre-log what I know so far!

Okay. Here's my personal findings of taking only one liposomal magnesium capsule a day.

July 7 night-11 night-Taking 1 magnesium capsule
*8th daytime- no constipation, calm, some nerve tingling, tired
*8th -9th- overnight- a lot more wakefulness, no cramping, some nerve tingling, heart palpitations
*9th daytime- calm, no constipation,
*9-10th-overnight- slept well, no cramping, some nerve tingling
*10-daytime-energetic
*10th-11th overnight-slept well
*11th daytime-energetic
*11th-12th overnight-cramping in right ankle and leg-had to use transdermal magnesium spray, heart palpitations
*12th-morning-full of energy-leg is sore from cramps, no constipation, but not full elimination

**I researched the meaning of "providing elemental magnesium" in the capsule that I am currently taking the elemental magnesium is 226mg 53% of daily value. The previous brand I took had 468mg 111% of daily value, but how much did I actually absorb?

Hi again, I'm Amanda in Appalachian Virginia.

SW RND 229 - 127.4 (7/10)
RGW - <125 lbs

7/11 - 128.4 whoops, not off to a great start according to the scale. Howeve,r I did strength training yesterday. Then this morning, I e-biked the kids to daycare & myself to the doctor and back and then took the dogs on a 3-mile jog! I decided to train for the local half marathon taking place September 17th. Hopefully that will keep me focused and give me some direction.

7/12 - 127. Phew. I did a little better yesterday but still need to rein it in. I walked the dogs this morning and will lift during lunchtime. I'm finishing up a beginner strength program this week and will need to figure out what's next on that front soon!

7/13 - 126.8. Alright, maybe it wasn't as much water as I thought. If I want to see this weight go away I'm going to have to do a little more work in the kitchen. I haven't tracked any food in quite a while, and I haven't done any extended fasts (20+ hours) in weeks. I think today I'll do an extended fast since we have dinner plans at a brewery to see a musician we like play. I have interval work on the treadmill planned. Have a great day everyone!

7/12-165
7/13-164-If I really work hard, today may be my last day of spreading the shredded wood. DH hauled 50 yards of it here and I asked him what he was waiting for and he said he thought the landscaper would bring a guy to do it….. I could see that was not happening. So, I went out and worked for 1 1/2 hrs. to see what I could do and it made a difference. I can only spend that much time each day because loading the wheelbarrow is the worst part; pretty soon, I can’t raise my arms up and that is when I stop for the day. Plus it starts getting hot. The funny thing is that I needed to get in shape to go fishing in Alaska, which is some arm strength and all cardio. Well, this is doing it! My heart absolutely pounds when I am loading the wheelbarrow and I got 5 miles in from going back and forth in the yard.

AR10at50

@cIpieur-Glad you can go back to your original position. DH started a new job after 25 years and the person who trained him wanted to sit and tell story after story instead of educating him. Now that guy retired and DH is on his own and does not enjoy it and is constantly having to ask the research team questions. He is looking for a new job.

I expected that since we grabbed burgers and fries on our way back mid-afternoon from my eye surgery. Then I slept the rest of the afternoon, and at a variety of definitely not weight-loss foods in the evening. I’ll move toward better eating soon. Off in a few minutes for my post-surgery check up. My vision is really a mess at the moment, with one eye full of meds (like looking through very dirty glass) and the other no longer properly corrected by my glasses. Good excuse to lie around and listen to audio books and podcasts!

7/12 - 184
My eye is a bit clearer today, but still has annoying globs of medication floating around. I can’t drive, and have trouble in bright light even with dark glasses so I’m not walking much, but I can read and knit and listen to things, so I’ll survive. 🧶📚😊 At least I haven’t had the big junk food cravings I had with the first eye!

7-13 - 183.8
I finally got out for a short walk with the pup yesterday evening, which was great. A lot of the medication has dissolved or evaporated or otherwise danced its way out of my eye this morning, so although my vision hasn’t completely cleared, I don’t have big black blobs floating around. 😁 I can see we’ll enough to drive so I’m heading over to a nearby nursery to wander around a little. I need to get away, even if it’s just 2 miles away for 20 minutes!

Hi Everyone – Looking forward to another challenge, my 5th.
Female, 5’4”, 57 years of age
HW: 210 (May, 2022)
CW: 148.6
GW: still don’t know… hope I’ll know it when I see it in the mirror… chasing a “healthy” BMI first… I suppose I should put quotations around “healthy BMI” because I have read recently that BMI is either a made-up number, or a good tool for docs to use when assessing health related to weight and height, all depending on what you read. In any event, when I look in the mirror, I know that I have fat where I should not, therefore, I need to lose more fat. Whatever my weight is at that point will be my goal.

Goals: Continue working on same goals from previous round because it seems to have worked!
Cardio: 8/10 days (only days I struggle with this are Sunday and Wednesday due to lack of time)
Bodyweight Train: 3/10 days <- The biggest struggle of mine currently. Really need to do this!
Logging Food: 10/10 days (using a food scale every time!)

SW RND 229: 148.6
7/11: 148.4 – had a very early medical test this morning… glad that is over. Work has been extra stressful these past couple of days… the kind of stress where I walk into the office and get called into 3 peoples’ offices before I set my stuff down and boot up my computer… really makes me want to stick my face into a pie or cake or something… but I’m not going to do it. I’ve come so far this last year, I have no desire to undo that hard work. Tonight, I have Zumba after work – YAY! I need to go back to RND 228 and catch up with everyone, but I hope you all are well, hugs to everyone!!
7/12: 148.2 - Phew, thank goodness yesterday is in my rear view! Still stressful at work, and now I need to have ANOTHER medical test done... Geesh. By the time I am done, I think my whole entire body's innards will have been seen by all medical professionals in this area. I am not complaining (much, well, yes, I am complaining), I know they need to check things out and I could be on the other end of this needing to see medical professionals and not being able to get an appointment. I am grateful they are taking the time to make sure I am as healthy as I can be. Take care of your liver people - no joke!
7/13: 147.7 - Ok, the stress is getting to me. It's just life stuff, just work stuff, but dang. Why why why do I feel the need to stuff these feelings down with food? I am sitting here at my computer having an internal conversation in my head, trying to be a good friend to myself... just breathe, it's all going to work out okay, you don't need that food to fix this, you will only feel worse afterward. Do you think anyone would notice if I sat here with duct tape across my mouth? I am going to write 147.7 on a big post-it note and put it in front of my face. Hugs to everyone who is struggling!!!

@clprieur - No, you are not the only person who has ever sucked at a job!!! As I tell my son, sometimes you just need a little more time to marinate before hitting the grill. He has just taken a step back at his job, but he is SO MUCH HAPPIER He needed a better mentor, and he now has one. Doesn't mean you're stuck, doesn't even mean you sucked at the job, just means it was bad timing, poor training, lack of support etc. I hope you find you are much happier, and feel much more successful during your day!!

Donna, @deepwoodslady

Okay. Here's my personal findings of taking only one liposomal magnesium capsule a day.

July 7 night-11 night-Taking 1 magnesium capsule
*8th daytime- no constipation, calm, some nerve tingling, tired
*8th -9th- overnight- a lot more wakefulness, no cramping, some nerve tingling, heart palpitations
*9th daytime- calm, no constipation,
*9-10th-overnight- slept well, no cramping, some nerve tingling
*10-daytime-energetic
*10th-11th overnight-slept well
*11th daytime-energetic
*11th-12th overnight-cramping in right ankle and leg-had to use transdermal magnesium spray, heart palpitations
*12th-morning-full of energy-leg is sore from cramps, no constipation, but not full elimination

**I researched the meaning of "providing elemental magnesium" in the capsule that I am currently taking the elemental magnesium is 226mg 53% of daily value. The previous brand I took had 468mg 111% of daily value, but how much did I actually absorb?
What is Elemental Magnesium

@tiabirdie56 No cramping until the end of your experiment. What are you thoughts and dosage plans going forward?

Round 229



MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 186 FOR ME.

“Today….I am choosing Me”

MY STATS:

Highest weight ever (05-10-2016): 253
Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
R228 EW= 194.4
R229 EW= TBD


Current New Goals:
Weight:
Short Term Goal: To weigh less at the end of this round than I did at the end of the last round.
Final goal: 145-155. We’ll see how I look & feel when I get there.
Exercise: Move 30 minutes per day rotating activity.

Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.


COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain.Black is no change.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/10 …..194.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

07/11 -197.8- (Trend weight 196.5)

07/12 -196.4- (Trend weight 196.5) Well, that weight just rushes right in but dilly dally’s off, now doesn’t it? Down 1.4 lbs today. Normally that would be good but with an overnight gain {yesterday weigh-in} of 3 ½ pounds, I’m a little pi$$ed. But I guess that’s what happens when you eat pasta for dinner and cereal for a late night snack. I earned it fair-n-square. I started the challenge 2 lbs lighter than I am today so I suppose I'm still chasing my tail. On my way back down though. ( Just trying to stay positive here.)


07/13 -195.2- (Trend weight 196.4) I’m still chasing my tail trying to get back down to my day 26 weight before the travel and nighttime binge. Making good progress though. Today is my son’s haircut appointment at my salon. I will take him to lunch afterward. This is a custom we have been doing since he was a kid. Be good at the hairdressers and you get to go out to lunch/dinner. With his autism, he is a child at heart and still expects these practices. Eating locally is usually a bit boring as it’s the same old tired menu they’ve had for the 24 years I’ve been here. I’ll either skip it or order what I know works for me. I really want to undo the damage that has already been done. Yesterday I danced for the first time in awhile. The first two songs left me a bit breathless as my heart tried to keep up, but then it stabilized. I also biked 15 minutes and did my strength training with hand weights.
