    Not proud of my continual cycle of good few days followed by days of binge and scrambling to recover. Yet again I am starting again to try to overcome this, fingers crossed I’ll manage it this time. There is just over 4 weeks to my holiday, a pound a week would make me very close to where I want to be, so that is my goal for the next 3 rounds. I’ve done it before, I CAN do it again if I remain strong.
    Goals for this round;
    • First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
    • to lose!
    I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.


    8/13 140.2 – (trend 140.7) 8.89 miles walked. Not proud of my pattern at the moment, too many peaks in my eating wipes out good habits on other days and then scrambling to recover, yet again I am saying this; I must take full control consistently of daily eating habits in the hope that this time I stay strong.

    @musicsax I am in a very similar space as you. I don't know what snaps in me when I get into these dark and difficult places. Sometimes it seems easy, almost too easy at times. Then other times (like right now) it is almost impossible to pull myself out of the hole I'm in. I know we can do this. We've both found such success before. What we need is already inside of us. I am going to work very hard to reach way way deep down inside and pull it back up. Supporting you as we venture this path back, together.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    08/03 …..190.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    08/14 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW )

    08/15 -190.8- (Trend weight 190.3)

    08/16 -191.4- (Trend weight 190.7)

    08/17 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW )

    08/18 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW )I was awoken by my DGS this morning and didn’t get my weigh-in before my coffee. It’s a joy to have him here but so much more work than I remember. He starts first grade later this week. We practiced more coloring and reading yesterday.

    08/19 -192.2- (Trend weight191.1) Good meals and too many snacks again. It’s not hunger since I didn’t eat dinner until 9:00 pm and was satisfied. It’s just a thing. A bad thing. A very bad thing. Trying again today and hoping to reach that better mindset when the skies become dark and night time surrounds me. I finished the 2 season series “Firefly Lane” last night on Netflix. Wow. It will stay with me for awhile.

    08/20 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

    08/21 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

    08/22 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

    08/23 -xxxxx- (Trend weightxxxxx)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    @musicsax @quiltingjaine add me to the struggling list

    @CamandJarvis get better!! DS and his (now) fiance contracted covid on the trip where he proposed. Both are still struggling to get over it.

    *******************

    F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (Proteing> (Cg+Fg) Greater than 1:1 ratio. A clean/whole food WOE. Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.

    Weight 🎢 since high school! Ranging 120-172 for 45+ years. SEVEN sizes in my closet. HW 172lbs in 2010. “Always dieting”. Lost 30lbs in 2014 to 130. More crazy🎢 for 10yr.

    📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
    “Maintenance” has not EVER worked for me. Had to recognize and admit that I have some type of food addiction.

    I need to push to be actively improving mind, body & spirit. Otherwise, I become mindlessly complacent. Now, a perpetual self-improvement program that I am sincerely enjoying.

    In order to stay focused I must continue to track all measures. Missing a day here or there is NBD but if I hit three days in a row, I need to turn around and get back on this journey full-stop!

    P:E = 3:1, P= 126g

    Didn’t eat very much yesterday but good protein - duck eggs and venison. Delicious!! Late lunch of greek yogurt chicken salad- yummy too. Late night 🎾 and opted for no dinner. Dumb.… Solid🏋️‍♀️session yesterday. 🚶‍♀️to grocery in 100°. Felt good actually.

    Rest day today.

    ⚖️ scale ups and downs are more than quizzical. It’s getting to the point where I have simply no idea what the scale will read….. Another chapter in my journey! Onward!

    8/15 ⚖️130.4
    ✅Level Up! 🚫Rest day. Yesterday:🚶‍♀️2.6k 💤 hrs
    P:E = 1.2:1, P= 102g

    Errands, DGS… low-key, energizing day. Delicious rib-eye for dinner. Consistent IF (noon-6pm).

    🚫Level Up! 🚫sick day. Yesterday:🚶‍♀️2.1k 💤 5hrs

    Flu-ish starting around 10AM… Last night was awful. I’m hoping for a better day, but I am going to lay low.

    8/17⚖️129.4
    🚫Level Up! 🚫 another sick day. Yesterday:🚶‍♀️2.1k 💤 8hrs
    No tracking. Little eating. I felt a little better, but was unable to do anything. Not sure about today. Accepting it is what it is.

    8/18⚖️130.0
    🚫Level Up! 🚫 another sick day. Yesterday:🚶‍♀️5k 💤 7hrs
    Walked 30 min. No tracking. Little eating. 💦good.

    I’m determined to get out of the house today - at least try some thing. Definitely feeling better than yesterday. Each day a little bit better!

    8/19⚖️132.0
    🚫Level Up! 🚫 another sick day. Yesterday: 🎾,🚶‍♀️6k 💤 8hrs

    I’m not even going to try to understand the scale. Obviously, no routine. First night I slept through the night in almost a week. I played tennis for about 90 minutes yesterday. Took it easy the rest of the day. My head weighs only 1000 pounds this morning instead of 10,000 pounds… I’m going to try and pretend like I’m 100% healthy today. Will track all measures. Enough is enough.

    Much better day! I hit all measures except 🏋️‍♀️. I’m at that point where I sound much, much worse than I feel… So I’m definitely almost there! This morning Im super puffy… Not understanding that but it’s minor.
