Came across this quotation today: "Twice as slow as you think you should be makes twice as good as the quickest would be." I need to remember this.3

🍁🍂This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE
I’m a 5’2”, soon to be eligible for Medicare girl from the Pacific Northwest. Took a “break” from weighing and logging over the last few months… always a mistake! Gained back 6 or 7 pounds. Time to get back on track, one jug of water at a time!

@musicsax Thank you for feedback! I’m retired also so I should be 💯 walking more. Our grocery store is 1.5 miles away and I should walk there… need to get insulated bags to make the trip. Also, would love to incorporate 3mi morn/eve on a daily basis. Plan to do that when we return. Should definitely be walking a minimum of 6 miles a day in addition to whatever else I do!
Have a fabulous vacation, hope you get opportunity to walk, I looove walking in different places when away on holiday.5 -

10/2 218.2 ~ I started using a different scale (renpho) which normally has me a half to a full pound higher than my previous scale (withings). I don't really care which one is correct as long as I am consisted. I could weigh 3 times within 5 minutes on the withings scale and get a different amount where as I tend to get the same reading on the renpho. Additionally the renpho gives me more measurements.

9/29: 157.6 lbs
I am surprised I am the same weight I was at the end of round 230 when I was last involved with these challenges. Between then and now I have had my gallbladder removed after having a number of gallstone attacks. I had to be super restrictive before the operation to prevent an attack. But since the operation it has been a free for all and I need to turn it around. I am hoping that doing this challenge will get me back on track.
9/30: 158.3 lbs
Twas pizza night with guests who bought treats and I didn't care what I ate. It doesn't bode well for maintenance. I wish I knew how to flip that switch in my brain to weight loss mode.
10/1: 158.3 lbs
I am still not in weight loss mode. I think the problem is that I am not all that unhappy with the weight I am at the moment. I would like to get in to a healthy weight range but i don't seem to want it enough to do anything about it. The relief from the gall stone attacks after the op isn't helping either because I can basically eat whatever I want again and I think I am rebelling after having to restrict to try to not get an attack.
10/2: 157.4 lbs
Lots of walking yesterday and I had a big, salty meal dining out. This drop is probably dehydration.
10/3: 157.6 lbs
10/4: 157.4 lbs
I skipped lunch at work and came home ravenous. I ate way too much when I got home then felt too full at dinner.
10/5: 157.0 lbs
I think I might try having breakfast, having a big late lunch followed by a light dinner. That would contrast with my current approach in which dinner is my largest meal. This new routine might be a better fit for my day and my appetite.

After my revelation yesterday about certain foods, I ate all of the foods. 🙃 High carb, high sugar, over my calories, and no workout. No excuses, it happened. Today’s a new day to make better choices.
Sat.30.09:
Yesterday was messy (SD is here, has disordered eating tendencies. I'll be eating what they eat for a few days in order to not give her any reason to feel anything negative towards what she's having). That meant a pancake for breakfast, and fast food lunch.
However, my partner did finally mention that I look like I've lost weight. I haven't discussed it with him much, other than after my visits to the dietitian. So he didn't know how much I've lost or anything. I kinda was interested to see how long it would take him to see a difference, considering he's constantly with me. So that felt good.
Going out to riding today and to dinner tonight but I've had a look at the menu and have a plan to fit it in with the rest of the day so I'm not as far over as the past two days, especially with the calories burned riding. I know today's gain is primarily bloating from the fast food yesterday (I never have that much salt), so hopefully I should bounce back easily but with everything considered it may take the scale a few days to reflect it.

Tues.03.10:
Well, it was a tough weekend. I didn’t (or couldn’t) log a lot of things accurately. But, I’m back, and I have a lot to learn from next time a similar situation arises.
Weds.04.10:
Got my walk, workout, and stretching in yesterday. It’s raining here today, so I got in a morning workout, and will do some pilates or other cardio this afternoon if I’m not able to get a walk in. I don’t think I’ll hit my goal for this week, but I’ll be happy if I’m less than where I ended last round.
Thurs.05.10:
Workout, walk, and stretching done for yesterday ✔ The scale’s moving back in the right direction again.
There are exactly 100 days until my birthday. I’ve always kind of used my birthday like ”new year’s day” as it is so close to the beginning of the year, and it’s my own personal new year. So I’ve got a few goals for the last 100 days - stretching, 6500+ steps, and 20+ active minutes every day. And hopefully I’ll hit 38 feeling younger, stronger, and more energetic than I have since I was a teenager.
Fri.06.10:
We’re getting somewhere 😅 Been doing well this week. Quiet weekend ahead, planning on cleaning the carpets and doing some gardening, so should be able to finish up this round the same or lower than I started it, which is good.

10/04 -186.6- (Trend weight 188.5) Finally TMI after 3 days of no action and the scale went up? Go figure! My calories were under, my carbs were under, I got in 32 minutes on the exercise bike using HIIT with it, my water was so-so. The only thing bad was my sleep last night. Just shy of 4 hours of sleep. So many things are in play with weight loss including hormones. I’ll just roll with the punches and let the universe even things out. As Billy Joel sang, “It’s a matter of trust”.
10/05 -185.8- (Trend weight 188.2) I was happy to dip into the 185 range this morning, However, I travel today for my bone density scan. I’ll do my shopping while out-of-town and also have a nice lunch or dinner with my son so I know the weight will be back up tomorrow. I did chose my highest calorie/carb allowance day on zig-zag for today because of the travel. I know I went over that but I will be following today with the lowest allowance for the zig-zag week tomorrow as part of my plan. Hopefully this will mitigate the damage and will be gone like a bad dream before you know it.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 236 (my 166th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
Back from holiday a week now, feeling strong and eager to lose, want to get back under 140 this round.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.

9/29 142 – no structured walking as childminding little DGS.
9/30 141.4 – very busy day around errands, managed to walk 5.56 miles, calories 111 over.
10/1 142.6 – 15.61 miles walked yesterday, 3.5 miles of which were ‘dancing’ miles; we were at a 70th birthday & danced nearly all night. I had adjusted the time of our lunch eating latter to pre-empt the buffet. Didn’t overindulge & only had one plate (no seconds) also licked loads od decorating salad from the serving plates– 42 calories over, it was eaten later so hoping that and the additional sodium is the cause for the upness. 1.59 ‘dancing’ miles after midnight in ‘credit’ for today!
10/2 141.8 – 7.75 miles walked, 60% exercise calories eaten back.
10/3 141.8 – 8.22 miles walked, 20% exercise calories eaten back.
10/4 140.8 – 7.85 miles walked; no exercise calories eaten back.
10/5 140.8 – 8.76 miles walked yesterday, 50% exercise calories eaten back. Confession to make!! I noticed at the end of yesterday that for the previous day that I only entered 1 oz soda bread when it should have been 75g, so I actually ate back a third of exercise calories!!
10/6 140.8 – no structured walking as childminding little DGS, calories therefore over.

Date/weight/comment
09/29 - 155.6 - Wow, the only thing I can think is I did a lot of moving of furniture, etc. on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. I woke up really sore this morning. I did not eat a lot of salt over the past few days and my calories have stayed between 1100 and 1400 calories for the past 2 weeks. I'll be drinking plenty of water today.
09/30 - 154.1 - This is better, but I'm still not real happy. I'll be tracking everything again this weekend.
10/01 - 153.4 - OK, well I did not eat great last night. My stepdaughter and her husband brought over gourmet grilled cheese, tomato soup, and cookies. I didn't go overboard, but I will probably see a bounce in the next day or two.
10/02 - 153.8 - There is the little bounce. I hope this is it. Water, water, water.
10/03 - 153.6 - I just need to keep my steps, food, and water in focus.
10/04 - 153.2 - I did well yesterday. I plan the same for today.
10/05 - 152.9 - I have lunch with a client today at a new restaurant. I've checked the menu and have figured out my best option.
10/06 - 152.7 - My client had to reschedule lunch, so I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich from a local restaurant. However, I've realized I need to stock our office freezer with a couple healthy frozen dinners so I'm not stuck trying to find something healthy to eat close to my office. I usually pack my lunch.

10/04 -186.6- (Trend weight 188.5)
10/05 -185.8- (Trend weight 188.2) I was happy to dip into the 185 range this morning, However, I travel today for my bone density scan. I’ll do my shopping while out-of-town and also have a nice lunch or dinner with my son so I know the weight will be back up tomorrow. I did chose my highest calorie/carb allowance day on zig-zag for today because of the travel. I know I went over that but I will be following today with the lowest allowance for the zig-zag week tomorrow as part of my plan. Hopefully this will mitigate the damage and will be gone like a bad dream before you know it.
10/06 -188.0- (Trend weight 188.2) Well, it is exactly as I expected so I have my work cut out for me. My menu is pre-logged and I’ve already done 21 minutes of my planned exercise. Handymen will be here any minute so more exercise will likely be late tonight. No worries.

9/29 ⚖️ 135.4
Yesterday was a do-nothing day. Went to a “pool party” visiting with two wonderful friends from work (I retired 1/2019). They are now retired too. Wonderful day! Laid around the pool and visited… I ate very healthy. Water, Egg salad and no dessert. But also, no walking or exercise yesterday - just dead weight. Played bridge-ate 1 sugar cookie and one glass of white wine. Not worth the indulgence. I just did a “quick entry” in MFP +cookie +wine because it was the easiest way…. Today is a new day and a new round! 😎
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————
9/30 Yesterday was another do-nothing day re: NO Exercise. I had this urge to get organized. Worked all day in my house/couldn’t stop. Picked up GS from school and we chatted over sugar-free snowballs. Day was over then. Perfect macros, 1237 calories, 5.2k steps, but no movement/workouts yesterday. But…. Tennis and walking today!
It's hard to build new habits. It's hard to create and maintain a healthy diet. It's hard to stay focused & push through days/weeks. It’s hard to stay motivated. And that's if you're “feeling” 100%. If you're not mentally / emotionally feeling well, it's almost impossible.
I don’t know why I chose not to exercise yesterday or not to get my steps in…. I had the time, but I didn’t do it. Not gonna brood about it. But I definitely needed to FEEL organized. I do now and so… will “move” today.
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻
🛑🎢!
———————————
10/1 So yesterday I played tennis then walked 5 miles in the afternoon …. 16.8 K steps (7+ miles), 685 move calories, 183 move minutes and ✅ macros. TIRED! 1063 cal by 7:20pm so I had to find another healthy 200 cal somewhere… added a butter bite. 1263! Today, I probably won’t hit my steps/move because we have to travel half the day to take care of a project… But, I think I accomplished enough 9/30 for two days but then again, I did nothing two days previous… 😎
I was very tempted to go with my DH after dinner last night for ice cream from our favorite local shop… I deliberated for 10 min and finally said no - but it was only because I was too tired. Shame on me! Had nothing to do with self-control. 🤣😎 Well, maybe a little! Cause I really think I would’ve indulged if I wasn’t so tired.
One more day and it is scale time again! Let’s go!
NSV: I’m feeling healthy, strong… and positive. Staying “even” sits well. Just putting 1 foot in front of the other and getting it done… staying the course.
Be kind to yourself and most of all keep pushing on. Today I will be grateful ! 🥰
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

10/2 ⚖️ 135.4 Slow moving train.
Managed to get 9.5k steps. 1877 cal. Lots of protein. Burned only 387 exercise cal. 51 ex minutes. Couldn’t get in any groove once we got home from travel. I know I didn’t drink enough water yesterday…. Will increase today.
Emotions in check. NGL the ⚖️ was disappointing…. So will believe in the process and stay positive…. With my intake,macros,and movement, it will get better! Planning an active and grateful day today. Tennis, walking, 🏋️♀️🍀
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

———————————
10/3 12.4k steps, 2 1/2 hrs tennis, 1421 cal, burned 1121 exercise calories. I went over calories yesterday because I ate extra protein… Hungry from the days activities… Macros✅
Playing tennis this morning then starting to pack/get organized for our trip. I’m maintaining a very positive can-do attitude. The weather is supposed to be 50 to 70° the entire weekend without a cloud in the sky… Feeling blessed beyond measure
NSV Bother scale has not cooperated, I feel like I’ve lost a full size in my clothes… Feeling “clean”. I must keep reminding myself that feeling “clean”, is so much more satisfying than feeling “full”! Feeling disciplined, also feels so much better than feeling doubtful and scattered. Feeling disciplined, provides a mental “confidence” that I am starting to recognize. The battle is won in your mind!
Y’all have a great day!
Let’s do this! 💪🏻🙌🏻

10/4 I suspect a stall is more about a test of resilience, fortitude, character and consistency. Everything starts in the mind. Stay focused!
Yesterday my activity plan did not work out… I played tennis in the morning and then I was asked to play in the evening… So I didn’t do my L O N G walk because I didn’t want to over-do it for tennis…. Then evening tennis was canceled! I did not get my steps in…
587 exercise cal, 75 exercise min, 5.4k steps, consumed 1466 cals, macros✅. I am mainly concerned about my protein and carb macros… As long as I’m under in carbs and close to 100g protein, I am good to go! Today: tennis, steps, packing!
… ⚖️ tomorrow before leaving for the mountains!
10/5 ⚖️ 134.6 Less than a lb. so far…. ?! Sheesh! But still under 135! Leaving for Vacay! Hope to return under this weight. Will eat heathy and hike as much as possible! Yes, I’ll still track and will make sure to not go hungry. I’m not a big carb eater anyway… so I plan on fabulous, delicious protein! Feeling 💯off of sugar and all processed foods.
Yesterday-11k steps, 120 ex minutes (tennis), 726 ex cal and ate 1401 cal. Macros✅. A little over on cals but ate healthy! Lots of protein. Feeling 🙌🏻💪🏻!
10/6 Yesterday I planned well for the drive… 8 ounce ribeye, egg salad made with nonfat plain greek yogurt, Beef jerky and pork rinds. Macros✅. 1227 cal. 💦💦💦…. No exercise… car all day. Blah in the car but made it to our room by 9:30. Slept REALLY well.
Ready for our hiking journey today! Gorgeous day in the Ozarks!
Delicious looking oatmeal/chic chip cookies in our room 😳… I gave mine to my husband… 💪🏻

Date/weight/comment
09/29 - 155.6 - Wow, the only thing I can think is I did a lot of moving of furniture, etc. on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. I woke up really sore this morning. I did not eat a lot of salt over the past few days and my calories have stayed between 1100 and 1400 calories for the past 2 weeks. I'll be drinking plenty of water today.
09/30 - 154.1 - This is better, but I'm still not real happy. I'll be tracking everything again this weekend.
10/01 - 153.4 - OK, well I did not eat great last night. My stepdaughter and her husband brought over gourmet grilled cheese, tomato soup, and cookies. I didn't go overboard, but I will probably see a bounce in the next day or two.
10/02 - 153.8 - There is the little bounce. I hope this is it. Water, water, water.
10/03 - 153.6 - I just need to keep my steps, food, and water in focus.
10/04 - 153.2 - I did well yesterday. I plan the same for today.
10/05 - 152.9 - I have lunch with a client today at a new restaurant. I've checked the menu and have figured out my best option.
10/06 - 152.7 - My client had to reschedule lunch, so I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich from a local restaurant. However, I've realized I need to stock our office freezer with a couple healthy frozen dinners so I'm not stuck trying to find something healthy to eat close to my office. I usually pack my lunch.

Another dull morning here, but at least we’ve had rain, finally, the past few days. I should be able to get a nice walk in between showers, though. We had hotdogs & baked beans for dinner (DH’s request), so I thought I might be up today, but happily not. Happy Friday!
09/30 - 188.4
Yep, there are the hotdogs and beans. Sigh. Yesterday was good, and today is planned. I’m off for a walk in the pea-soup fog.
10/01 - 189.4
What’s wrong with me? I went on a late-night binge and doubled my daytime calories. I don’t know why I sabotage myself like this. I do know I’m sad/depressed since giving up my puppy, and that’s probably part of it lately, but I’ve been doing this for a while now. I just don’t seem to find any joy in things anymore, and having regained so much weight makes it worse. I set goals and then undermine them. Ugh ugh ugh.
10/02 - 188
I got control of myself yesterday. My only snack was a Siggi’s fat free mixed berry skyr, which I ate very slowly and savored.
10/03 - 187.4
I won’t get too cocky yet, but I feel a bit more in control. It’s a gorgeous October morning here so I’m off for a walk along the Maumee River.
10/04 - 188.4
Crap. But I know some is water—I had more salt than usual, and my rings are tight. I’ll get rid of it. Not so sure I’m going to hit my round goal. I know better than to set weight goals, but there you go….
10/05 - 188.4
Long day in the car with less than optimum, but not terrible, food. Calories fine, no exercise other than driving (which does burn calories). More on the reason for the trip tomorrow. Anyway, all good here. Rain on the way, so I’m off for a walk.
10/06 - 187
Ok, good for me! So, I took a nice long walk through fields and woods with my new walking partner, who was the reason for the trip on Wed. He’s 14 months old, and he has a name but I’ll be changing it soon, so I’ll just introduce him as “the new boy in town.” 😊

10/06 - 153.3 - I woke up feeling great and honestly looking so much less bloated, I was thinking I'd be super close to goal. Imagine my surprise stepping on the scale to see I'm actually up! I'm going to say that's likely no TMI from yesterday. I feel good though. After BF left for the weekend, I walked the dogs and then went to run some quick intervals as I had to postpone from yesterday due to storms. I've pre-logged my breakfast and lunch already. I'm going to do my best to stay on track today since I included leftovers for lunch and accounting for my currywurst and sauerkraut I've been waiting all year for as my dinner. Currywurst is a once a year thing. If I don't get it today, I won't get a chance to get it again until Oktoberfest next year so I'm allowing myself to splurge!

Previous Day's Comments09/29 - I was hoping to see lower but I am very sore in my legs. Quads, glutes, and hamstrings are all quite unhappy this morning. Apparently my stretching yesterday was not sufficient enough to settle them. With that said, I'm likely holding on to water in my muscles and I'm actually lower. Though I'm not sure I'll hit my goal of the 140s by the 9th at this rate. I was right at calorie goal yesterday as I splurged on a little more naan than I'd like. I need to input my recipe and track that versus a general searched naan bread. I'll do that today and see the damage. May give me some insight. I also forgot to take my lactose-focused probiotic with dinner. It's been helping with bloat and digestion so much so why not? I'm supposed to take it up to 4 times a day and I have so many bottles - might as well use them if they help. Today is completely unplanned - I'm out of chicken and orzo soup for lunch and not sure what BF will want to do with dinner now he's home. Planning to stay mindful and keep my goals at the forefront of my mind while eating/drinking through the day.

10/02 - Absolutely awful weigh ins. I'm feeling a lot of TOM-like symptoms including bloating, cramping, tenderness, headaches, etc. I'm hoping it'll all drop off once TOM officially starts in the next couple days taking some of this weigh with it. I'm not at all confident I'll meet my goal of seeing the 140s by my birthday next Monday. I've planned everything meal-wise except dinner Thursday and lunches Saturday and Sunday so I'm feeling pretty okay as long as I can stick to the plan. I'm also running this week which will help a bit with balancing food intake.
10/03 - Better. I slipped up a small amount but I stayed within MFP calorie goals and drank 92oz of water to help banish some of this water weight. I will do so again today. I'm going to go pre-log breakfast, lunch, and dinner now before I eat anything - I'm trying to fast as long as possible anyway. I'll avoid snacking unless I start feeling awful/sick. I have an apple and a few bananas still I can eat should I get to that point which won't put me off track. Those are my only options off-plan. I walked the dogs this morning and hope to do so again after dinner along with movement every hour through the working day. I'm determined to not repeat last year - I started gaining the last week of September and didn't get control back until mid-January at my highest ever weight! I'd love to be at least halfway between current and goal weight by mid-January instead!
10/04 - I've been behaving very well lately and the scale is being kind. TOM arrived-ish. All bark no bite? Either way, I still feel puffy, bloated, and a little crampy so TOM hasn't fully released it's hold on me. I've also been eating that Tuscan white bean soup every day (today is likely the last day of it as I won't have enough for another meal) and overnight oats and I wonder if my body is slower adjusting to the increased fiber intake lately leaving some bloating behind. I'll keep up fiber to see if my body will adjust with time since it's been wonderful keeping me fuller for longer on less. I ran this morning and plan to do so again tomorrow since BF leaves so early Friday for his trip. I still want to do something Friday, but I'll have both dogs. Maybe, since I'm not working, I'll walk the dogs our normal amount and go back out and run. Monday's and today's runs were easy intervals - tomorrow the same, so a longer more challenging run won't push me too awful in the wrong direction.
10/05 - I'm going to guess TOM released its hold on me and this is what I have to contend with. If that's the case, I really doubt I'll be seeing the 140s by Monday. Oh well. Storms this morning so no walk or run as planned. Unsure, but likely, to go to Thirsty Thursday so no walk this afternoon, either. I put a limit on myself and pre-logged drinks/food up until dinner. Dinner will be out somewhere - we had Asian yesterday for lunch and so likely the Mexican place we really like there. Good news is that my Withings scale may not be accurate but it IS consistent. And with that, I've had a small rise in muscle and lowering of body fat over the last couple of months - according to this, I lowered body fat 2.5% and increased muscle 2.3% which is no small feat. I'm hoping that is true which is a sign all my workouts, no matter how short or moderate they are, are doing something positive. It might've taken months, but it's happening. Also, it would explain the stagnant scale weight a bit better. Trying to find positives to offset any disappointment of my birthday goal.

10/2 218.2 ~ I started using a different scale (renpho) which normally has me a half to a full pound higher than my previous scale (withings). I don't really care which one is correct as long as I am consisted. I could weigh 3 times within 5 minutes on the withings scale and get a different amount where as I tend to get the same reading on the renpho. Additionally the renpho gives me more measurements.
10/3 217.4 ~
10/4 216.6 ~
10/5 216.7 ~ It could be worse!!
10/6 217.4 ~ I was right, it could be worse!!! First, the new scale is not so kind, but I believe it's more accurate even if I don't like what it has to say. Second, I've been trying to encourage my husband to cook so I'm not doing it 7 days a week and getting burnt out. I suggested to him that a protein and a vegetable are a perfect combination. Earlier in the week he made a turkey meatloaf and I had asparagus (he hates) and he had cucumbers (I hate), but it was perfect. Yesterday, he brough home Mexican food with chips and guac.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

9/29 128.0 Breakfast out was cancelled and we will be taking friend to Great Greek today. We finally ate around 3 yesterday afternoon at Jimmy John’s-I love the #9 Unwich! no chips but even ate a yucky WM oatmeal cookie and am under my carb limit of 25g TC
9/30 128.0 Last night a group of people in the neighborhood presented a play. It was entertaining and we also celebrated the 12th anniversary of the Social and Dance Club. Everyone was given a “lunch” bag with a tuna slider, chips, and after the play a small piece of cake. I was strong and ate none of it! YAY ME!
10/1 128.0 Woke up before 4:30 with a headache, tried to get comfortable and go back to sleep but it didn’t work. Finally got up and took my Fosamax and went to sleep in my recliner. Woke a little after 6. Still had h/a so took some headache relief. I’m good now. 😁
10/2 128.5 I realized at 6 last night that I hadn’t been drinking enough water. Had only had one quart instead of my usual 4. Fixing that today!
10/3 128.5 Did better with water but not the usual amount.
10/4 128.5 I expect an uptick tomorrow due to absurd food behavior yesterday.
10/5 129.5 And there it is.
10/6 129.5 Did a couple more errands yesterday so had more steps than average but still not a many as I should. 66*F at 6AM. What a lovely morning. I promised a friend I would be at water fitness this morning at 9.5 -

10/6 131.6 and I'm not the least bit put off by it. I've come a loooong way in detaching emotions from the scale fluctuations. Allergies got me down yesterday so I stayed indoors and did strength training for hiking muscles. Yay to all the hikers and anyone who is considering whether you can/should start doing it...go out there and do it! It's been incredible for my mental and physical health. Google before and after pictures of thru-hikers for visual body composition inspiration. Diet is healthy again. I made a big pot of lentils so I can go back to eating beans/legumes with two meals a day. Lentils + a vegetable = healthy, frugal, simple, comforting, routine meals that take the stress out of nutrition for me. I'm from the South so my BBQ seasoned lentils reminded me of something my granma used to make. If you're struggling with changing your cooking routine to be healthier, I found that practicing making healthy staple meals that I can make in bulk helped me immensely. Happy Friday, everyone!

Previous comments:I've fallen off the WFPB wagon and need to get back on. Just logging on here again reminds me of all the healthy habits I was able to build with y'all. That feels good, that there's an association with being in this challenge and living my healthiest lifestyle. My weight has been stuck between 130 and 135 for the past few months. I have significantly increased my strength, though, so my body composition is much better than it used to be. But, I want to cut the soft fat and that won't happen if I don't stop late-night snacking/binging on ice cream. I need to get my mindset back to where I had a number of reasons to avoid it, 1) hormone health, 2) I'm lactose intolerant and pretend like I'm not, 3) the dark side of the dairy industry breaks my heart. I'm sure that if I can quit it again my inflammation will go down and I'll look and feel better. Here's hoping I can be strong.

10/2 134.8 the past week I was carb loading for a hiking trip that DH and I enjoyed this weekend. I felt so strong. NSVs: my pack weighed 20 pounds and since I have been slowly increasing my pack weight on practice walks the weight didn't feel too heavy; while climbing a steep incline, I kept being surprised at how good my own legs looked in my shorts, like, "are those MY legs!? Can they really be mine? They're so strong!" Nice thing to focus on instead of how hard it was. Anyway, I expect that by cutting back on carbs back to my usual intake of 150-200 grams per day I'll drop some water weight back to 130 or so. But I like that my maximum carb heavy weight is 135, that's certainly an accomplishment for me. No more dairy will also cause weight loss because ice cream is my only source since I didn't return to the habit of cheese or pizza. I'm not fully vegan anymore but I still view meat as a luxury, i.e., a complement to a dish that is primarily made up of whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, a la Mediterranean Diet. That's probably the #1 best habit I've kept since first joining the 10-dayers. Inspired to see everyone's journeys are still going.
10/3 132.6 There's the effect of one day of returning to normal carbs and muscles releasing water from the hike. Eager to see what the next five days shows if I can make it without ice cream. Two pints of blueberries was my late-night snack. Accomplishing the hike this weekend felt like real payoff for all the effort to be healthier. We're already planning our next adventure. As Bridget Jones might say, I still have my wobbly bits so there's more tightening to go before I'm camera ready.
10/4 130.0 The No Ice Cream habit is under construction and on course. I had a slight calorie deficit and normal carbs yesterday so this is still exercise-induced water weight coming off. My stomach looks significantly flatter today. Forgoing the late-night dessert in favor of an early bedtime looks good on me.
10/5 130.0 Found ice cream bars in the freezer last night and ate the last three. A tummy ache effectively communicated that I had overdone it and these treats would be better reclassified as low dose poisons. I still have an achy stomach feeling this morning and am bloated. It's strange to be in this place again where eating very well I feel well, and then eating CRAP (calorie-rich and processed) I feel sick and achy. It wasn't just a tummy ache, it was sharp pain that lasted a long time into the night. I want to be able to eat CRAP and enjoy myself and feel well but I can't trick my body. Alas. I suppose I should count it as a good thing that I'm attuned to these body signals again. Ok, extra sensitive tummy, I hear you. You don't like ice cream and tonight I'll snack on something that makes you feel good instead. Had a nice long walk and another is planned for today. Enjoying this beautiful weather![spoiler/]6 -
