    Got myself a second cut of coffee and trying to catch up on the round.

    @musicsax I so relate to your description of good days, then scrambling through binge days. I wish I understood myself better. As always, your walking miles are so very impressive!!

    @judefit1 I am at the beginning of your Italy trip. Sounds like you have a good plan in place. I did what you are doing through Scotland and Amsterdam last year. I a file under “notes” on my phone. I could then edit it each day, and then cut an paste into the thread. Yay! For travel scales. I love mine.

    @pettycoatjunction @utmom81 Yup, those creeping bad habits have been with me for two/three months now. Yay for your gym time!

    @_JeffreyD_ glad to hear good news of a negative biopsy – I get the stress snacking. That has been my go-to this summer.

    @khahn72856 Glad to see you enjoying the challenge. I recall you joining a couple rounds ago.

    @Zava2021 So sorry to hear of your challenges. I do hope that modern medicine is able to offer your sons treatments that mitigate these genes. Bravo for realizing that your health is just as important for their care. Thinking of you.

    @itladyee congrats on your life changes – move and becoming part time. Congrats on the upcoming #2. Enjoy your time with them!

    @jensmakingprogress How are you getting your protein macros? A change of 95 to 162g is notable. Are you following a particular dietary plan currently? Congrats on the 20 lb down!

    @Enic03 – great goal to keep up with the kids

    @SheilaBoneham Charlie is a cutie!!

    @Deepwoodslady Donna, how frustrating with your PCP. It can be amazing how clueless some medical professionals can be. DH just got told his PCP is now a cardiac specialist. His new assigned PCP is 4 years out of medical school, younger than our youngest child. I am curious what he will think of his appointment in September. BTW, Have you looked for any helpful podcasts, or youtubes? There is so much out there. Maybe there is something that will connect well with you. Sometimes we need the right inspiration.

    @truecrimeaddict Curious if you are following any particular current cases?? :)

    @Chapter_3 Do feel better!! Poor son proposed last week last Wednesday, while in Disney. He had COVID by Friday and his fiancé was sick by Saturday. He is still recovering. :(

    Just finished coffee cup #2. Have a nice day all!

    RND 268 SW 208.2 EW 203.8
    RND 269 SW 203.8 EW TBD

    Goals:
    📊Weight is just a number to track data
    🥩Increase my protein intake
    🚰🏋️‍♀️Maintain water and exercise

    8/14 203.8 I recalculated my macros last night. My calories increased along with me protein intake. I was struggling to hit 95g of protein a day and now I need 162g. I used MFP calculations, but the data set was wrong. So we’ll see how I do with the new guidelines.

    8/15 202.8 20 pounds lost!!

    8/16 203.0 I had LASIK surgery yesterday and found out I can’t lift weights for a week. I can do light exercise after 3 days. The fact that I was bummed about this was kind of a win for me. Exercise has become something I look forward to every day as a stress reliever.

    @SModa61 So far…I’m not reaching those protein goals. It’s a work in progress. I’m using protein supplements (powders, bars, etc.) for snacks and then trying to prioritize protein for my main meals. I’ve made some protein fruit dip with Greek yogurt, protein powder, and instant pudding mix to encourage me to eat more fruit. I don’t like drinking protein shakes, so I’m just trying to be choose higher protein foods. If I don’t reach my goal, I’m not going to be disappointed. The point for me is that I’m trying and any increase is better than what I was doing.

    I’m surprised that the weight didn’t change after an excellent getaway at a tiny cabin for a few days. We did quite a bit of walking/hiking each day so that may have helped with damage control.

    @Jensmakingprogress there are lots of cottage cheese hacks out there these days, too! Could check those out.

    DH had eye surgery Tuesday (removed a membrane growing over his retina). Big list of “do nots” for him as well. Hope you heal fast!

    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.

    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

    08/03 …..190.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    08/14 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW )

    08/15 -190.8- (Trend weight 190.3) While I’m impressed with my new family doctor’s credentials, I was not very impressed with him during the appointment yesterday. When I talked to him about the obsessive snacking and the food noise and cravings at night I asked him if there was anything that could help. Perhaps a medication that my insurance will cover. Something for OCD? Etc. etc. His advise to me is to just stop it. Just stop obsessing, stop bingeing, just “stop it”. Oh, how I wish it was that easy. Even a physical tip would have helped. A website, a book. Anything! I also expressed my concerns with the Lasix I’ve been put back on as one dr keeps taking me off of it to protect kidneys (endo), the other (cardiologist) keeps putting me back on. Family doctor said my kidneys should be okay as long as I drink enough water with it. But not too much since my heart is having a hard time pumping it through. So how much should I drink? He said “not too much”. So what the hell is that amount? Damn, I’m in a rut right now. It feels like I just have a shoddy attitude and that I’m sinking over here. I’m going to do some online research today as my contractor is off to take his kids to his local fair in his county. I guess I’ll get the water answers the hard way. On the upside, my A1C was improved again. My weight was up by 3 pounds from 3 months ago. I thought it would be more. He said my A1C will get even better if I stop the night time snacking. No Shoot Sherlock! UGH!

    08/16 -191.4- (Trend weight 190.7) I must apologize for my attitude and rant yesterday. I was in such a dark place. When the doctors tell me to limit my exercise due to my newest heart issues and to limit my water for the same reason, I just feel so lost. I mean, it is messing with two very VITAL parts of my weight loss plan, exercise and water!!! So today I turned off my alarm clock and decided to have a good attitude. I just need to change my exercise to mild cardio, maybe more walking. I need to drink less water and overall liquids, yes, but I can spread them out more evenly throughout the day so there may still be some effectiveness. THEN, I sat here, and continue to sit here, waiting…..waiting (yet again) for my contractor to get here who was scheduled for 9:00. I stay up pretty late and am not normally an early riser (I like to sleep until about 10:00 in my retirement), but have been accommodating his schedule to get these jobs done. EXCEPT, he does this often enough to tick me off. Oh, how I could have used the sleep! And I don’t need sleep issues on top of exercise and water issues! So, in keeping my promise to myself to have a more positive day, I just want to say that I’ve pre-logged my food for the first time since July 31st, I have already done a Leslie Sansone walking video on youtube this morning and I am going to enjoy my DGS who is here with me for the weekend and I’m going to avoid my daughters food offerings from her mobile grocery store. NSV, however, last night she pulled Russell Stover’s sugar free 5 pc bag of chocolates out of her Mary Poppins bag for me. Sugar Free! Wow, that’s a win! She heard me for once! Have a great weekend everyone!

    8/16 - 150.3 - Still battling bloat/water retention from travel. I'm not surprised or upset by this. I got back to the gym this morning and knocked out a good workout despite being tired/out of routine. I'm feeling that afternoon slump hitting hard but I have a meeting here in a few minutes that will hopefully distract me and keep me awake and busy.

    8/14 - Travel, DNP
    8/15 - I was very bloated at my last weigh on Monday after losing A/C in Texas (it was over 100 outside and no AC for 3 days) so I'm holding on to water. I also left Monday for work travel. I didn't arrive home until 3am this morning so my weigh in is on the high end due to lack of sleep, dehydration from flying/traveling, and general bloat. I'm aiming to resume normal routine tomorrow and hopefully get back on track quickly. Glad to be back <3

    8/17: amazing day kayaking and “a la spiaggia” (the beach). Bellagio is exthraordinarily beautiful, and lots of exercise just walking everywhere. Beach again today. On the small island directly in front of us is the palazzo from “Casino Royale”: pgiicfbe6k6q.jpeg

    @judefit1 Fantastic photo! Keep them coming!

    🐝🐝🐝Goal for this round: less than my starting weight of 134.0. Need to beef up the water and watch the after dinner snacking. Old habits creep back in so quickly!🐝🐝🐝

    SW Rnd 269

    8/14. 133.0. I wasn’t expecting this number on the scale this morning, but I will gladly go with it! I managed to make it to the gym today so definitely feel that this round is off to a good start! 🏋️‍♀️👣✏️💧

    8/15. 133.8. 👣✏️💧did some evening socializing and snacking. Oops!

    8/16. 134.8. ✏️. Not enough sleep lately and excess stress is impacting my efforts lately.
