Hi everyone. I was back to plan yesterday after a long weekend with family and food. Walked 2.4 miles yesterday, and salad for dinner. Hoping to drop back to 209 here at some point. Water bloat is ridiculous. Wish my cycle would just start already and shift out of this. Perimenopause truly sucks. Everything you knew about yourself goes right out the window.
Trying to catch up on everyone's posts. Hope you all had a good weekend, and are back into the swing of things.

@ManifestingToday Happy to see you back. Perimenopause 100% sucks.. I am right there with you. Now that our company is gone, we can get back to focusing on ourselves ! I don't have true cycles thankfully because I had a hysterectomy back several years ago but still have what I call "sputtering ovaries".
I recently was told about the Galveston diet for women dealing with menopause. Google it, she is an OBGYN doc who now has become the menopause expert. I am considering her book but she also has a podcast.

* 20 minutes eliptcal and upper body workout early yesterday morning. Today will be a late evening workout. maybe just a walk. Busy day.
My smart watch ( a cheaper version of the apple watch which had great reviews) arrived and very excited to have a way to more accurately track my activity and sleep. I got just over 7 hrs of sleep and 1hr 15 mins of deep sleep (which I guess was in the normal range)

Not doing as well as I thought. I added up all the calories from last night, and I ate well well over maintenance. Even with the 5 mile run.
Pros: did first weight exercises in a month, cut out sugar snacks in the daytime, more accurately logging my embarrassingly high food intake. And also run everyday with step count over 20K.
Cons: resumed night snacking. Oh and a drink here and there. And logging all of it too late.
I guess I can see *where* the issue is.2 -

Back to last weeks pre-wine weight. Did a 20 min aerobic workout at home yesterday. This is a set routine and after a warm-up, I do as many reps as possible in 20 mins. Haven’t done it since August last year though and my aerobic fitness is definitely down. Probably should attempt it more often but I do not enjoy it at all.

While the scale is not moving as fast as I wanted for June I do feel like now I atleast have some control over my weight. I have never done daily weigh in's. It was always something I avoided. Didn't want to know. Now my mindset has shifted. I want to know and it helps me stay on track with my goals. Frustrating some days but knowing what I need to do to control the upward swing most of the time does help give me hope for the long term.2 -

@HappyDonkey75 Congrats on being back on track. And I will look up The Galveston diet. Thank you.
@kellyswimmer Hope you see the number drop soon!
@SofaKween I go through in/out with aerobic routines -- I enjoy them for a bit, then get bored. But love going back to them. I was doing a lot of that before my knee issue, and it might be time for me to return to that. I hope you find a routine that you enjoy enough to want to do it.
@Plasicage Sending you some positive mojo. You can get back on track; I know you can. ✨
I'm going to walk today after my last meeting. Gotta get that scale dropping again. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.

Walk in the sunshine yesterday, hay fever in overdrive this morning. Getting closer to my goal but also to the weekend when I let wine sabotage my weight loss journey. I wonder if alternating a glass of water with each glass of wine to keep me better hydrated would help – worth a try I think. I need to get a weights workout in today but my legs are still sore from Tuesday so needs to be an arm focus.
Hope you enjoyed your walk yesterday @ManifestingToday and your knee is not too sore today.

I've had a rough couple of weeks with my schedule - work ramped up a bit, and that's made for later evenings, later on the treadmill, and more snacking. I have to spend some time this weekend figuring out some extra low cal snacks that I can rotate through, without sabotaging myself. I feel like I'm eating the same 10 things and I need more variety. Also, I need to stay away from bread. I love you, Bread. 🍞
Thanks, @SofaKween - I've been managing anywhere from a mile to 2.5 miles. If I start to notice pain, I slow down and assess, and decide if I can keep going or stop for the day. I'm doing better today; yesterday I tried a 1/% incline and it took a few hours for that to show up in my knees -- Message received; flat walking only for now. But overall I do feel like I'm better. And YES, the hayfever! My poor sinuses.
Hi @tmbg1, glad you're seeing progress, and keep up with the walking! And yes, stress doesn't do any of us any favors.
So glad that Friday is in sight, and it's almost the weekend.

Weights yesterday not as bad as I thought. The scales have rewarded me with a rise. Thanks scales.
I need to work out how not to sabotage my weight loss with weekend wine. I still log what I eat (weigh everything when I'm at home) and factor in the wine calories, so I know i'm not over-eating calorie-wise. I don't want to give up my wine - it's my only vice.

I have struggled with my weight for 13 years. I have been consistently gaining weight during that time. Morbid obesity, diabetes, and heart disease run in my family. I don’t want that for myself and I am ready to shed this burden once and for all! I’m tired of constantly thinking about how much weight I have to loose everyday. My stats: 42 yo female, 5’3”, 186.4 lbs. goal weight is 135-140.
My goal today is drink more water and track all my food!1 -

It has taken me a week to get back to being below 200 again. Crazy slow.
I lost consistently in May and now in June it is HARD to get things to budge much. I feel like I am doing better with sticking to my calories compared to May but yet.....
Anyone else doing Intermittent Fasting? I have not had luck in the past with it but I am not sure I did it right. I am reconsidering giving it a go to help move things along?
@ManifestingToday - glad to see things are getting back on track for you. I think its easy to get in a food rut . What are you favorite low cal snacks? I struggle with this too. Finding things that I enjoy that are low cal. A plate of veggies ? yes its good for me but I don't enjoy eating it! haha ...
@kellyswimmer - I feel the same frustration with the slow stuck progress. I know more water and more activity help for me, but also too much muscle strain causes me to retain water so .. it s a balance. I don't know why but my muscles tend to get very sore, beyond what should be normal soreness for walking/biking/etc. Its gotten worse in the last couple of years . Maybe perimenopause related?? not sure but it can be limiting on my fitness levels.
@SofaKween - I sure miss my wine but not the gain it causes. Its hard to give up for sure. I will let myself have a glass of wine right now once a week , knowing that even though I am within my calories, I may still see a gain.. (yep one glass is all it takes for me!) I have seen non alchoholic options for wine but haven't tried any of them. Might be an option to consider.1 -
@HappyDonkey75 not menopause for me. Straight into menopause after the birth of my daughter at 41. She is nearly 18 now.1

@kellyswimmer It's ok. .1 more. Deep breath. Tomorrow will be lower.
@jennigerding19 I'm sorry, aching from coughing sounds so awful. I hope you can get some rest and that you feel better soon!
@SofaKween I know that feeling -- I feel like I've given up enough vices already. Do you have a smaller wine glass to drink from, so that a smaller amount looks like more than it is? Kind of like the *eating from a smaller plate* theory? I liked your idea of water between refills -- could you pour a 0-cal sparkling water into your glass, so that it's something a little more fun to sip between refills?
@tmbg1 Excellent progress! Go enjoy that massage!
@CAtoVT Welcome to the group and happy to see you. Wishing you success as you start this journey with us.
@HappyDonkey75 Congrats on being back on track! I haven't really experimented with IF -- some people really have good results with it. But for me, I'd have to wait until 11am to eat, so I could eat dinner within the window with my husband -- or I'd have to have dinner insanely early. I don't know how to make it work well for me. As for low cal snacks, I was thinking of a small apple, or celery -- I know I won't eat the celery though. 🤣
Happy Friday, friends! I hope you have an amazing weekend!
