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

9/23 131.5 Iโm okay with this since no TMI since we got home
9/24 132.0 Getting a facial today from my favorite esthetician.
9/25 132.5 UGH my stomach was โoffโ yesterday so I really didnโt eat much. Also didnโt track so need to do that. Going to Golden Corral this afternoon, ugh!
9/26 134.5 Double UGH! I really didnโt pig out at what I am now calling the Pigout Parlor. I had a small bowl of salad and a plate with a chicken thigh, a small piece of pot roast, 8 Brussels sprouts, and a serving of small fried shrimp. I wasnโt even tempted to get dessert.
9/27 135.0!!! Except for the โheelโ of the me made sourdough I hardly ate anything- 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon.
9/28 134.0 Semi-fast Had my BP coffee, cream and one keto shake. I had planned to repeat today but a scorpion changed my plan. I didnโt get stung and I did kill it but it resulted in cleaning and DH spraying. BBQ for dinner - beef brisket only
9/29 134.0 Great Greek today. Edit-gave DGD#4 my manicure appt. I will need to reschedule.
9/30 133.5
Late additional post - I have so much sourdough starter! As I told my daughter earlier, this is not an adventure which should be entered by someone trying to eat LOW CARB!
10/1 133.0 I ate the end slice of the loaf of sourdough sandwich bread while it was hot. DH wasnโt feeling well all day. This morning he has a podiatrist appointment.5 -

Oh, good, finally something is working.
09/24 - 197.4/196.6
Crazy. But I did have a lot of carbs yesterday, and went over my calorie goal. Tomorrowโฆ.
09/25 - 197/196.6
Let go, fat cells, let go! Jeesh. These bounce backs from low readings are disheartening. But at least I feel a bit more in control. Off to get my hair cutโthat should be worth half an ounce. ๐
09/26 - 195
Such weird swings, but todayโs # makes me happier. Iโve been eating either breakfast or lunch, not both, and I donโt miss the missing meal, so thatโs a plus. Also doing better with late-night snacks. Iโve been having a bowl of cereal with fruit & kefir at night to get in my collagen powder in, and that is very satisfying. Iโve cut out the junk snacking. Iโm also starting to trust my gut, so able to go for longer walks. All good!
09/27 - 196.4/196.2
Crazy ups and downs. Oh well! At least Iโm trending in the right direction finally. Going out for Italian lunch with DH, but Iโve already planned my orderโa really good tilapia in wine and lemon sauce, and Iโll skip the pasta.
If youโre in the path of the storm, be safe!
09/28 - 197.4/196.4
I ate responsibly yesterday but was very thirsty later, so the food was salty and thatโs the uptick. Not worried about it.
09/29 - 196.4/196.4
Ate a bit more than Iโd planned yesterday, but not too bad.
09/30 - 196.4/196.4
It doesnโt look like Iโll make my yearโs goal of 170, but I really want to finish lower than last year. I am doing much better with snacking, so thereโs that. Onward!
10/01 - 196.8/196.5
I had a laser procedure this morning to clear clouding in one of my post-cataract lenses, second procedure in two weeks. It all went fine, but I have a headache, which I always do after getting dilated and having bright lights in my eyes. I think Iโll take a nap. ๐

I do like reading everybody's posts. @Skyleen75 science behind weight loss, @judefit1 and the mental struggles of maintenance, @quiltingjaine 's sourdough adventure (I've got some starter brewing but I think I've killed it - 3rd try - don't seem to have the touch), and all who share their little and big joys and trials. It's what I like about this group.

Starting late, but here goes.

Challenge goal 205. May seem hefty but I lose water weight easily in the first week and then it goes slower.

9-27: 206.4 (just water, but itโs a boost)

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but Iโve done this before, which is why Iโm still here.
Itโs not just about losing, itโs about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

10/1: new month, and a good start.
I noticed something that I've observed before-when I've maintained my weight for a long time (5 months this time), I start thinking I've gained, or the scale is wrong, and my mind starts playing tricks.
โWhen I'm losing weight, it's easy to see results and feel positive; when I'm stable, I feel the self-criticism coming on. This may be where my younger self's eating disorders started: self image rather than reality. Which is why the scale and group support are most important: keeping me realistic- and positive- about where I am. It's so easy to fall into self-doubt... โ
๐๐ป@judefit1
This.
Thank you for putting into words my own personal struggle. Real as real can get.
๐.
@judefit1 @chapter_3 I have said for years (like 20) that maintaining is harder than losing, in the sense that there is less "gratification" to it. No excitement. No exciting feedback. I do not do maintaining well. But I am realizing that for me, it needs to be more important than my many many loses.7 -

๐ท 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 273 (my 203rd). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Home again after a really lovely 10 days in Spain. 4 pounds gained
, need to lose this before I travel in 3 weeks to Turkey to visit DB.
Goals for this round;
โข First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
โข to lose!
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.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, itโs taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = 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.***
Updated 20.08.24 โ I met up with DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info ๐. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available.
This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 66 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.

@SModa61 and @Chapter_3: Maintenance really is the long game isn't it? Excitement gone, cockiness sets in; good habits slide. "I can have it just this time" turns into "I'll start again tomorrow".
It's very easy to lose focus. And so important not to.

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but Iโve done this before, which is why Iโm still here.
Itโs not just about losing, itโs about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

10/2: ending this round where I started; I'm happy with that as it's a fresh month and a new round. My post-vacation self was rebelling against the structure of my new eating style. I just wanted all the carbs, everywhere. Tells me just how important 10 days can be. Thank you, people.
NSV: In the last few months I've been doing yoga with 2 different teachers I've known for years but hadn't seen in a very long time; both commented that "I look exactly the same" as I did 20 years ago. I don't- and my joints know it- but I'm sooo happy for their fuzzy memories! :-)7 -
@SModa61 and @Chapter_3: Maintenance really is the long game isn't it? Excitement gone, cockiness sets in; good habits slide. "I can have it just this time" turns into "I'll start again tomorrow".
It's very easy to lose focus. And so important not to.
@judefit1 and @chapter_3 I keep thinking "never again", and that I have it this time. If I have to congratulate myself on anything is that my "bounces" are getting smaller. Highest high was like 168, then I got into the 150's a couple times, then 140's a couple times. This time I caught it at 137. I need to stop the yo-yoing, or get the bounces even smaller.

Round 273
Sept 23 โ Oct 2,, 2024
62 year old female, 5โ5โ. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 โ 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 โ 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two โkidsโ, who are very much adults, a two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an โall in or notโ person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my motherโs care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

SW: 135.0
Day/Weight/Comment
9/23 โ 134.4 Still not back to where I was like 5 days ago. Anyhow, yesterday, calories were spot on. Not much else to add.
9/24 โ 134.0 A rarity. I donโt have much to comment. :P
9/25 โ 133.0 I could tell from my โearly morning routineโ that the scale would be acceptable. Due to my teeth today, diet choices are going to be going back to needing to be tweaked. Got my newest Invisalign refinement yesterday (3rd) and my teeth are quite tender.
9/26 โ 133.6 Boing! No caloric reason. My only theory is that it reflects a very high dietary calcium day yesterday. I am at least seeing a slow, though erratic, downward trend. If I look in my spoilers (so helpful to have easily available), I am down at least 2 lb over the month. Hopefully a healthy non-yo-yo pace. Unfortunately, if one looks back further in my spoilers, I am still 7 lb up from a year, yet 15 lb down from 4 years ago. It is a journey.
9/27 โ 133.6 still no reason for the number. Just going to keep trusting the tracking (which is a key reason TOO track) and move forward. Today, starting the day with the crabby contractor from last week. I need to not let them set me off into a binge.
9/28 โ 134.4 This sort of thing is going to be my new pattern. Yesterday, I did get a little out of line, BUT I tracked everything. And I have got to hand it to MFP. Last night, I finally broke down and opened candies from Iran, given to us by a friend. Only the ingredients, were written in duplicate in English. I figured I would not be able to track. On a lark, I scanned the barcode, and presto, I was apparently eating โGaz Badamiโ at 45 calories each. I honestly was expecting โinvalid barcodeโ that get at times even in our local grocery store.
9/29 โ 134.4 This morning, I am actually grateful for this number. I fully expected the number to have gone up. Though the day was well planned, when we went out to eat, we were with a widower who would not order items unless shared. No regrets on that part. Then I got home and ate three more of the Gas Badami. That I regret as there was no need to have done so.
On another note, besides MFP, Reddit is a place I gather lots of information. Many many topics, but newly I am in some bone health groups, and discussions are certainly encouraging me to not only think about my goals, but also my path to them. Note that my intended weight range puts me right about that BMI of 21.
From yesterday:
โEat dairy or other calcium-rich foods 3x per day (meet the RDA for calcium, basically). If not dairy, then bok choi, collards, etc. They said spinach but apparently it has high oxalates so you don't really absorb much of the calcium, bok choi and collard greens are MUCH better than spinach. Broccoli is okay but you'd have to eat a literal boatload of brocoli to get enough calcium. Bok choi and collard greens have way way more calcium than any other commonly eaten veggies.โ
โAs someone who is always looking to trim off a couple pounds, what do you consider to be "low-weight"? โ
Two replies:
โLow-weight would be underweight, which is bad for your bones independent of anything else you do, but if you're not underweight you don't have to worry about it, and it's not necessary to gain weight to improve bone density unless you are underweight (BMI < 19), it could help a little (but not necessary) if you're low-end of normal weight (BMI < 21), otherwise it would not help. If you are overweight, you can gain bone density even if you lose weight.โ
โBeing underweight is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Probably the limited calories, lower protein and mineral intake, and reduced stress on the bones play a part.โ
9/30 โ 134.0 calories on target.
To those reading yesterdayโs post, I meant to cut and paste this info prior to the โtrim off a couple poundsโ question, that was in response said information:
โEat in a calorie surplus if low body weight. Definitely avoid a calorie deficit. Not a good idea to lose weight when trying to build bone, such a thing is impossible. Make sure to get enough protein, I shoot for 1g/lb of body weight (not 1g/kg like commonly advised as the RDA, that's way too little if you are at all active and especially if you are trying to build bone). Meats, beans, etc. all good on that front.โ
10/1 โ 133.2 I keep bouncing a bit, but at least I am not going up. I will be thrilled if I close this round at a similar number
10/2 โ 132.8 Happy face for sure. The knowledge that today was the last day of the round really helped me deal with staying up late for some necessary TV watching last night. Started with ยผ caf coffee, just to help me stay awake. I did eventually resort to food but that included three 5 calorie jello cups and a large spicy dill pickle. I got my sweet, salty and spicey for 21 calories and without damage. From my spoiler, it appears that my last sighting of a โ2โ was likely back in June. On to round 274.

@jspecies11 Any chance you have non-drowsy dramamine or Bonine in the house? That would be meclizine.

Oh, good, finally something is working.
09/24 - 197.4/196.6
Crazy. But I did have a lot of carbs yesterday, and went over my calorie goal. Tomorrowโฆ.
09/25 - 197/196.6
Let go, fat cells, let go! Jeesh. These bounce backs from low readings are disheartening. But at least I feel a bit more in control. Off to get my hair cutโthat should be worth half an ounce. ๐
09/26 - 195
Such weird swings, but todayโs # makes me happier. Iโve been eating either breakfast or lunch, not both, and I donโt miss the missing meal, so thatโs a plus. Also doing better with late-night snacks. Iโve been having a bowl of cereal with fruit & kefir at night to get in my collagen powder in, and that is very satisfying. Iโve cut out the junk snacking. Iโm also starting to trust my gut, so able to go for longer walks. All good!
09/27 - 196.4/196.2
Crazy ups and downs. Oh well! At least Iโm trending in the right direction finally. Going out for Italian lunch with DH, but Iโve already planned my orderโa really good tilapia in wine and lemon sauce, and Iโll skip the pasta.
If youโre in the path of the storm, be safe!
09/28 - 197.4/196.4
I ate responsibly yesterday but was very thirsty later, so the food was salty and thatโs the uptick. Not worried about it.
09/29 - 196.4/196.4
Ate a bit more than Iโd planned yesterday, but not too bad.
09/30 - 196.4/196.4
It doesnโt look like Iโll make my yearโs goal of 170, but I really want to finish lower than last year. I am doing much better with snacking, so thereโs that. Onward!
10/01 - 196.8/196.5
I had a laser procedure this morning to clear clouding in one of my post-cataract lenses, second procedure in two weeks. It all went fine, but I have a headache, which I always do after getting dilated and having bright lights in my eyes. I think Iโll take a nap. ๐

Ok, pretty much a draw for this round. Thatโs ok. On to the next.

GW RND 273: 133.5 (same goal as last round since I really did not achieve it last round)
UGW: 125 and evaluate from there
Non-scale goals for round 273 (tracked for the prior day each morning):
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ(cardio) or ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ (lift) 7/10 days
๐ซ no alcohol 5/10 days
๐ track 6/10 days
โฑ๏ธ intermittent fasting (16:8) 5/10 days
9/23 - 136.6 ๐ซโฑ๏ธ Hello, weekend weight! I'm sure a lot of this is water, but I think I'm getting to the point in my cycle where my body likes to hold onto that for a little while. At least if my annoyance at DH is any indication (it usually is, lol). It was a lovely family weekend, though. We had the famer's market, halloween decorating, a small music festival in a cool little hippie enclave 40 minutes away, and apple picking with my dad and step-mom. But of course we also had the restaurant meals that being busy usually entails. I meal planned and grocery shopped yesterday afternoon, however, so I feel prepared for the week ahead. Most of my goals are the same this round but I decreased the number of intermittent fasting days. When I lift in the morning I like to eat breakfast afterward. I missed my alcohol-free goal by a day so I'm going to repeat my goal of 5 days. Honestly DH is an awful influence in this area. It's definitely a lot easier to not drink when we're both not drinking, but right now that goal is not on his radar, and I can only lead by example. Today my activity will be dog walking and weight lifting.
9/24 - 135.8 ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ซ๐ โฑ๏ธ Sometimes tracking is so hard, even when I cook a meal. Sometimes especially when I cook a meal. I hate entering recipes into MFP and then estimating how much of it I ate. I know, I know, that's the whole thing, but I find it exhausting. Anyway my non-scale goals are off to a good start for the week. Today's workout will be some kind of cardio. The weather is funky so I may finally start the Peloton equipment back up again. For some reason indoor cardio has been unappealing to me lately. I haven't used my treadmill or bike since we went to Colorado in May. I know I'll enjoy it once I get on it. Just some inertia I have to overcome.
9/25 - 136.0 ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ซ๐โฑ๏ธ Just tracked yesterday's food so I could add my little journaling icon. My weight is really not cooperating this week. Usually by this point in the week I've dropped a bit from the weekend, but here I hover. On the positive side, my 3 days of no alcohol correspond with 3 nights of glorious sleep. Another "coincidence" is that I've left my phone in another room until the very end when I just need to turn white noise on. Hmm, perplexing. It's like the countless studies about sleep hygiene are correct!
9/26 - 136.0 ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ซ Ugh. Yesterday I ended up kind of giving up. I was ravenous for some reason and only simple carbs would do ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ I baked my annual apple pie last night and had a slice for breakfast, so Iโm not off to the wisest start. But it was delicious ๐คค I also donโt have a workout planned for today because Iโm using some time out of work for a hair cut. Planning on going pretty short but not sure itโs enough hair to lose any weight ๐คฃ
9/27 - 135.2 ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ซ๐ I went over yesterday, but I justified it to myself by saying it was mostly with salad. With ranch ๐ซฃ But I felt satiated enough after dinner to skip the pie so Iโm still calling it a victory. Today is going to be tumultuous. My kindergartener is home from school for the rain and wind weโre getting from the hurricane (Iโm in SW Virginia so not a dangerous amount; just flooded roads either happening or likely) so I probably wonโt make it to the gym to lift. Maybe I can get down the basement for a dumbbell workout with Peloton. My mom is coming over this afternoon and weโre going out for Mexican tonight. So many factors pointing to an off-track day! Iโm going to fast this morning for sure. Maybe pre-track fajitas and a margarita and see where that leaves me. Side note: I have not had a fully emptying TMI since Monday. I donโt know why things are moving so slowly but itโs frustrating!
9/28 - 135.2 ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
9/29 - DNW
9/30 - 136.2 ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Whoof, really needing an attitude reset here. Today I walked the dogs so far but I will probably do some more cardio later. Can't seem to get my head right. I woke up at 3am with existential angst, I think because of Helene's impact on NC and just the Sunday scaries, but I never managed to go back to sleep. I'm sure that isn't helping me human today. Over the weekend I basically took a break from paying attention to what I was eating, so I have a feeling the pound gain on the scale today may increase a bit tomorrow. Will try to right myself today.
10/1 - 135.6 ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ซ๐ Today I'm going to walk the dogs and hopefully go to the gym to lift. I was going to go straight to the gym from dropping the kids off, but we're on a boil water protocol due to Helene (no super crazy effects to our area but the river and lake where the municipal water comes from flooded) so the water fountains at the gym can't be used. Wouldn't ya know I filled my water bottle from our well water and sat down in my work chair. I did pretty well yesterday staying on track. Will try for a repeat today. Definitely not hitting my round goal tomorrow for the SECOND time but I'll keep trying.
10/2 - 135.0 ๐๐ปโโ๏ธโฑ๏ธ Okay, a .6 loss from the beginning of the round and my lowest weight this round. I'll take it I guess. I was lower during a prior round so I'm a little frustrated with myself. I SO agree with all the comments about maintenance. Mad at myself that I was there before and it feels so much harder this time than that time was in my memories. I suppose it will get harder each time since I'll be older each time. Really want to find my way to my goal and stay there this time! I will have to do better than I did this round to accomplish that.

I'm falling in love with weight lifting. The shoulder press is my new nemesis and goal. I had surgery on my labrum when I was 19, and apparently I have neglected lifting UP. Also, I took a walk last night and ended up with a new personal best. It's a great end to these 10 days!
Weight/Trend Weight/Comment
09/23 - 241 / Walked a mile to start the day and will be going to my favorite Zumba class this evening. Ending calories: 1,338 with 79 net carbs
09/24 - 240.4 / It appears that my sodium overload from the weekend is slowly coming off, even as PMS bloating has begun. I'm 0.4 pounds away from being under a BMI of 40!! This morning I walked a mile and spent 20 minutes lifting weights over lunch. Ending calories: 1629 with 70 net carbs
09/25 - 241.3 / Today is my day of rest and recovery. I took my mile long walk this morning and plan on chilling this evening. Ending calories: 1188 (migraine hit hard) with 47 net carbs
09/26 - 241.0 / I'm taking today as a mental health recovery day and planning no exercise. I did some yoga this morning before getting ready to stretch, but that's it planned for today. Ending calories: 1252 with 61 net carbs
09/27 - 239.6 / It was a nice surprise to see the scale go down! I lifted over lunch and am headed to a Zumba class after I post this for MY mental health. Ending calories: 1603 with 138 net carbs (Chinese buffet did me in)
09/28 - 240.8 / We had a busy day of running errands and a birthday party. We capped a busy day with a family walk. No complaints! Ending calories: 1032 with 37 net carbs
09/29 - 241.2 / I don't know why I signed up to run our church's tailgate, but I did. It made for a very long and exhausting day with an early bedtime. I mean, I took 7,000 steps without ever leaving our church kitchen! Added bonus is that my period started which means the bloat should start to go away. Ending calories: 1157 with 98 net carbs (victim of the tailgate)
09/30 - 240.2 / I'm feeling exhausted this morning from the combination of hormones and yesterday. I did my one-mile walk this morning but skipped Zumba. Ending calories: 1584 with 46 net carbs
10/01 - 239.2 / Started the morning early at the gym with some strength training. I have a meeting this evening, but I'm going to try to get a walk in before it starts. Ending calories: 1547 with 78 net carbs
10/02 - 238.8 / I took a 1.5 mile walk to start the morning and will be doing a hip hop Zumba class tonight. It should be interesting to say the least!7 -

DHโs first bout with intermittent vertigo was probably around your age. He went to Urgent Care where they told him to take meclizine, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine.

9/26 134.5 Double UGH! I really didnโt pig out at what I am now calling the Pigout Parlor. I had a small bowl of salad and a plate with a chicken thigh, a small piece of pot roast, 8 Brussels sprouts, and a serving of small fried shrimp. I wasnโt even tempted to get dessert.

09/27 - 151.6 - Feeling good about this. I've already determined dinner and logged it, my breakfast lunch and snacks have already been eaten. We have a concert tonight but I think I will forego any beer since I'll have to be up early and I'd rather feel good this weekend. I have a busy weekend with that concert tonight, tomorrow we volunteered to take the VFD truck to be a part of the parade for Frontier Days in our neighboring community. Sunday BF's finals are due for his MBA - once those are done, he only has 2 classes left and 20 weeks of active school (fortunately his "off" week between classes also happens to align perfectly with our vacation). This is exciting. But with that, I have plenty of editing and helping him to ensure things make sense since this week has been super hectic with work for us both so it would be easy to make silly mistakes. I'm looking forward to this vacation if nothing more than to be relatively responsibility-free hah!

10/02 - 154.1 - I'm holding on to water weight, I think. I've been drinking a gallon a day so far but my food hasn't been ideal. Yesterday I was within goal for fat and protein but was low on carbs and fiber (due to missing my last snack - I just blanked on it and was distracted being busy at work). I won't be around for the next round so I'm hoping everyone has a great 10 days and I'll return on or after the 14th (I return to work the 14th but I'll be so busy playing catchup, I'll see if I can hop on here to check in) I'll miss you all!

09/24 - I'm retaining a ton of water right now, it's all okay. Last week I only managed to be home and track macros/log Thursday. Every other day I was out with work travel (Monday-Wednesday) or running errands out of town (eating out on the go Friday) or out of town at a concert overnight (Saturday-Sunday). Whew, busy. This week Coach kept my macros the same since I couldn't really log with any accuracy last week. Next week she plans to up my macros and I can aim to hit those until I leave Thursday night. I will be gone the entirety of next round, I believe. We return home at about midnight the 11th so the 12th will be a wonky day of trying to get situated back home. The only plans we have this weekend are taking one of the VFD trucks to a parade which will require us eating out one meal but otherwise we'll likely hang out and relax. Things are really hectic here but I'll try to be better about checking in this round before I leave!

09/26 - I'm very sore all over and I'm also a bit stressed so I'm not surprised about not dropping off. I feel like I'm also going through a bit of a body recomp. We are behind schedule at work on most projects I'm working on and then next week I'm traveling out of the country so they're going to be even more short-handed so they're really trying to do about 10 things at once and I don't work well trying to multitask. Then there's my normal pre-travel anxiety. Even more so that we're going out of country and I've never done that before. I am going with others who have experienced it multiple times who can guide me, but I'm still anxious. Then again, I get anxious with traveling within my own country and I've done it so often it's almost 2nd nature. I'm focused on hitting my macros with whole foods and moving my body, both of which I'm doing well with. I've also managed to meditate 3 days this week, although only for 2 minutes each. It's better than nothing, though, so I'm happy since I've completely slacked on meditation over the past month or two. I'll try to check in a few more times before the end of this round but I make no promises with how hectic things are. I'll be back after vacation if nothing else.

09/30 - Water weight, I believe. Saturday I was severely lacking water due to an event and then there being no vendors for food or drinks (that's silly! It's hot out and an all-day event). Sunday was spent in but BF brought pizza for lunch. I took my lactose pills but probably still holding on to some bloat from that, as well. I did manage to get my water in yesterday so hopefully I'll see things start to drop off tomorrow morning assuming I can meet water goal today. Haven't heard from Coach but she said she was planning on increasing my macros this week again so hopefully I'll see those before I eat lunch. I have a meeting that goes until 1230 so my lunch will be at tad bit later than normal, but that's okay. Leftovers from yesterday so just reheating anyway. Feeling good in the gym and excited for vacation at the end of this week!

9/23: 162.9 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. Last round I achieved my daily goals on 8/10 days. This round I am going to try for 10/10.
9/24: 162.2 lbs
Didn't exercise because I didn't plan my day out well enough. Stuck to my calories though.
9/25: 162.7 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. The family had chocolate and cookies yesterday and I decided to have none. I did think of having one square of chocolate but I thought that would just unleash the chocovore in me and I would finish the whole lot. I wish I could be able to have just one square.
9/26: 163.1 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. Had a curry for dinner and I think the salt is bloating me up.
9/27: 162.5 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. I have been feeling like I haven't made much progress lately but when I look at my graphs the trend line is still trending down slightly.
9/28: 162.9 lbs
Achieved my goals even though it was pizza night.
9/29: 164.0 lbs
Did a bit of exercise but ate far too many crackers and cheese.
9/30: 163.1 lbs
Achieved my daily goals.
10/1: 162.3 lbs
Achieved my daily goals.
10/2: 162.0 lbs
Achieved my daily goals. It was another round where I achieved my daily goals on 8/10 days. Perhaps I should try for a 9/10 next. A 1.1 pound loss for me all up. I am satisfied with that.4
