@fmfdfa2020 oh dear!!! I’m so sorry you had to go through this. My sister described the pain as 10x’s worse then giving birth.
Thankful you went to the hospital before you did damage. Rest up and recover. Sending all of the good vibes.

@judefit1 Loving the family inspiration!!! Those are life goals.

8/08- 171.2 Record three day low streak!!! Weekend is coming up and there is an extravagant dinner happening. If I’ve learned anything it’s that I can enjoy my hedonistic life and still make progress. It’s just much slower!!!
But I can’t deny myself life’s pleasures, I just need to make a choice on when I indulge.
I had an amazing talk with a woman in her low seventies who was training for a beginner triathlon (until she broke her shoulder). She had to learn to swim to get started! Just an amazing attitude towards life and fitness, “why not try something new?”. Love it.
Then we got our butts kicked in 5:30a.m. Boot camp. 50 seconds of jump lunges is a loooonnnggg time. Now do it again. Rest. Do it again. Cry a little.

8/4 Sun: 194.7 Not much cardio, most of the afternoon in the lake but more floating than swimming.
8/5 Mon: 195.6 Thunderstorms here so outdoor activities are curtailed, at least for the morning. Hit the gym, light upper body and some leg work, mainly rehab work, half an hour of cardio.
8/6 Tue: 194.5 Had family over so excuse not to get to the gym or walk.
8/7 Wed: 192.8 Walk for an our, over at the driving range a couple times but that's it.

Round 267
Female, 5'3.
35 years old
Starting weight: 160.9

8/5: 160.9. Starting weight.
8/6: 160.6. Tiring day, this is a busy week for us. On top of several appointments, our water heater started leaking. The plumber came and said we had to get the stand that it sits on replaced before he will put a new one in. Since we rent, we are at the mercy of our landlord for how quickly we can do that. There's always something. My eating wasn't great yesterday, but I tried to control it a bit. I'm not doing much for exercise right now, but I'm planning to start adding it in soon.
8/7: 158.8. Yesterday's goal was to log food. I wasn't really focusing on staying under my calorie goal, but I find just holding myself accountable for the food I eat tends to result in eating a bit more focused. As I result, I was under my calorie goal.
8/8: 158.0. My goal, again, was just to log. I was way over on my calories, but that's okay for now. It's a good reminder for me on how easy it is for calories to snesk in- I really didn't mean to have an 800 calorie breakfast! It wasn't even that outlandish, just 2 English muffins with egg, cheese and a little mayo. Oops. So while I have done all of this in the past, I still have to tackle the learning curve again.

Goals This Round

2. Drink 3 bottles of water.
3. Start enjoying my salads again!

RSW : 205.8
RGW : 204
UGW : 160

8/4 - All meals went to plan but didn't drink enough water so had a late night snack. Ended up over my calories by 18🤦🏼‍♀️ Must drink more tomorrow!

8/5 - All meals went to plan but still didn't drink enough water 🤦🏼‍♀️even less than the day before 🤬 stayed under my calorie goal by pure willpower as I could of easily ate 4 bars of chocolate before bed. MUST DO BETTER WITH THE WATER INTAKE!

8/6 - Breakfast and Lunch went to plan but dinner, not so much - hubby cooked and obviously piled my plate with chips 🤦🏼‍♀️and I couldn't just leave them on the plate 😂 only went over calorie goal by 56 so not too bad going for the day AND I drank my quota of water AND I went for a little walk (first walk since my knee operation so it was slow and steady) Not a bad day considering! 😁👍🏼

8/7 - oh dear! Not a good day. Over calories by near 500 🤦🏼‍♀️ and definitely not enough water. I don't expect the next few days to go well either as it's my birthday 🙈

RND 266 SW 212.0 EW 208.0
RND 267 SW 207.4 EW DNW
RND 268 SW 208.2

Goals:
🧠Refocus and daily reminders that the scale is just a tool not a determining factor. 📊Weight is just a number to track data
🥩Increase my protein intake
🚰🏋️‍♀️Maintain water and exercise

8/4 208.2 The last week played havoc on my mental health. Between the stress of a sick cat, job woes, and frustration with this journey I found myself in a spiral this weekend. Yesterday I was close to throwing in the towel and giving up. This morning on my walk with the dog I reminded myself this is not something to “give up” because I’m making changes that will last forever. That means a rough week doesn’t negate all of the progress I’ve made over the last 3 months. I need to recognize the struggles and work through them this week. It’s a new month and new round with a new daily mantra reminding myself that the scale does not determine success. I do.

8/5 205.6 Decided I needed a better measurement than the scale to check my progress. I went to the thrift store and bought jeans in smaller sizes. When I got home I tried them on just to see how they fit, expecting all of them to be too small. To my surprise, one of the pairs actually fit. It was a little tight, but I’d wear them and feel good in them. My DH called the clothes my victory clothes and I’m in agreement with him. It felt like a victory putting on a pair of jeans that was 3 sizes smaller than the shorts I’d had on.

8/6 205.4 Went through my closet last night and tried on some of the clothes I’ve shoved in the back because I didn’t like how they looked on me (or I didn’t like how I felt wearing them). Added some to the donation pile because I still don’t like them and there’s no need to keep them. Kept a few because I put them on and felt good. I looked good.

8/7 205.4 I’m good with this considering I ate Cheez Its around 1am. Talk about late night binge.

8/8 205.2 Another late night binge, but a drop in weight. Either the increase in food is helping me drop weight or it’s going to show up in the next couple of days. Either way, I’m going to count this as a win

Comments pertain to previous day

SW RND 268 132.0
8/4 132.0 I slept wrong and have a tweaked muscle in my upper back. My wake up h/a is gone, Fosamax taken and coffee consumed. DH wants to go to the gym “early” but is still sleeping. I prefer the gym in the early afternoon. Today’s high is supposed to be 113.
8/5 132.5 Awake @4:28AM - too darn early. The bump is from the churro I ate at El Pollo Loco on Saturday evening. My muscle is still tweaked but I plan to go to the gym anyway.
8/6 132.0 Gym was good. Walked, cycled, hip machines, row, back extension, chest - 52 minutes on my HRM. Nothing seems to be sore today. I am craving GARLIC! Do you think I’m pregnant? LOL
8/7 133.0 My own “fault” - dealing with depression (his and mine) and I’m tired of guessing what he will want to eat when I would be happy with hamburgers (no buns) every day. We went to Taco Bell for the first time in about 7 years. Cheap, filling, and anything but low carb! Teeth cleaning today. Gotta get my act together!
Got caught up on posts then lost my internet signal. 🤦‍♀️ The wind was howling last night and continues this morning.
8/8 132.0 Endocrinologist appointment this afternoon. I know my test results are screwed up by eating only protein and zero vegetables for 4 weeks due to temporary crowns.

Ditto here.

Julia, Your family is an inspiration to all of us!

@fmfdfa2020 kidney stones are the absolute worst. Sending healing prayers…

Take care of yourself with optimal nutrition and journaling… Kill two birds with one “stone”? (OK I just had to throw in a little humor…).

After posting the above, I started having severe pain. If I hadn't had kidney stones in the past, I would have thought it was caused from the 3-day stomach virus (which who knows, it might have been why the stone started moving). I ended up in the ER that night writhing in pain. Turned out to be a 8mm stone and it was blocked. My experience with many stones has been that they are extremely painful, but when they are blocked, the pain is just horrific, and there is a high possibly of damage. What made this one even worse was the size. In the past, the pain is unbearable for about 6 hours, then it passes. I never had one so big it would not pass. I was pumped full of opioids, admitted, and had surgery Sunday night to put a stent in to stop any damage from occurring. They couldn't do anything about the stone because of inflamation, so I'm home with some pain, but nothing like the pain I had. I have a Ureteroscopic Laser Lithotripsy next Thursday to remove the blocked one and others that range up to 7mm, and unfortunately a new stent for a short while.

Weighing is useless right now of course. My amazing husband has taken such good care of me and is cooking small, healthy meals, and I'm finally eating a little. @quiltingjaine - thank you for the feel better wishes after my last post . I probably won't post for a couple of weeks, we'll see. Everyone is going thru something. I'm just grateful to be home and not in extreme pain. I hope everyone is doing okay.

@fmfdfa2020

Hopes and prayers for a speedy recovery for you!

08/06 -189.2- (Trend weight 189.6)

08/07 -188.2- (Trend weight 189.5) My weight keeps bouncing around the same exact pound—188.2 to 199.2 and then back. Weird pattern! At least my trend weight keeps creeping down. Today I travel for dental cleanings for myself and son, then meeting my contractor in that town for roof supply shopping at a big box home improvement store. I’ll take him to lunch afterward. I’ll choose wisely. It’s so much easier to order in front of other people LOL. Have a great hump day everyone.

08/08 -188.8- (Trend weight189.4) I typed it wrong yesterday—I meant that I’ve been bouncing back & forth between 188.2 and 189.2 Not 199! Anyway, I’m up today and not surprised since I traveled yesterday for the dentist. No cavities for me, 3 for my son so we have to go back for him in Sept and Oct. for fillings and a “core filling”. Ate at a steak house and one of the sides was Alfredo so I’m not surprised I’m up a bit. Experience tells me this could have been much much worse. Crew is back today to hopefully finish up the last of the windows. Ordered the roofing supplies yesterday which is $350.00 for delivery just to the end of the driveway! I was shocked!
