5/28: 170.6; cookouts and hanging out with friends from out of town put me way over my calories, but I enjoyed myself. Water weight will definitely be coming off this week! 170.0 after my I peed!
5/29: 170.6; I did Zumba and ate and drank well yesterday. It’s that time of the month so I’m holding lots of water. Looking for a big drop this weekend!
5/30 169.2; ran, went to Zumba, drank lots of water, and stayed well under my calorie limit yesterday. Feeling good this round.
5/31 170.2; Ran and did well yesterday morning and afternoon, buns and brews killed me in the evening. But it was worth it!
6/01 171.0; friends were in town and it’s still that TOM. I’ve been enjoying myself a little too much. Lol! Back on track this weekend.
6/02 170.8; ate out a lot yesterday and started moving. Going to do some intermittent fasting today and continue moving to a new apt. Let’s hope this goes well!
6/03 169.8; IF and moving went well. But I ate horribly for dinner. May see some gain in the next couple days
6/04 171.4; my eating choices were terrible this past weekend. I enjoyed the time I spend with my friends and now I have to suffer the consequences lol. This week will be a reset for my healthy choices!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 - 159.4 - Horrible way to start this round. My meals weren't bad, no snacking, lots of yard work and a late evening walk after dinner. Water intake was good too. Hoping this is just a slight rise before a nice drop the next day or two. Lots of outside work to do again today and it's going to be hot, so I need to remember to keep drinking water.
5/29 - 158.6 - Usually I feel a yes! Or ehh or oh crap! when I step on the scale but this morning I really didn't feel anything. Yes I'm glad that it's gone back down and yes I'm still really want to lose the weight and I'm not giving up on my healthy habits I'm creating but there wasn't no excitement at the scale this morning. Looking in the mirror and seeing a difference is what I mostly get excited about and I haven't been seeing much change so I think the lose on the scale isn't meaning as much. Will be taking measurements again next week so hopefully it shows results so I can get excited again.
5/30 - 157.0 - Saw this number last round but knew it wasn't true, this time around it might be a little more accurate. Ate a healthy lunch, played a bunch of outdoor games with the kids and had a light dinner. I did have a cupcake though for my son's 5th grade promotion at his school but I logged it and I was still good with calories. Hoping this is a true number as I'm approaching my mini goal date. Also I'm not feeling so meh about the scale this morning, yesterday must just of been an off day.
5/31 - 157.0 - Well it stuck around this time but might see a slight increase in the next day or two as I ate a cookie and some ice cream for a "party" me and my daughter had yesterday for it being the last day of school and then some homemade pizza for dinner. Don't regret it though as we had fun and it made the day special for her. I'll get back on track today though and finish out this round strong.
6/01 - 157.0 - Happy with this, now to see a drop tomorrow.
6/02 - 158.0 - Not surprised by this, not enough water yesterday, took the kids to lunch at Applebee's and didn't eat dinner till about 10:00 last night. Also I'm weighing about a half hour later than normal. Soccer games this morning and a cookout at a friend's this evening.
6/03 - 158.8 - ??!! So frustrating
6/04 - 158.8 - (((sigh))) and I've been exercising and eating well.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 - 170.5 - My daughter took me to a wine and painting party on Saturday night and we had the family over for a picnic yesterday and today. I enjoyed some food I hadn't had since last Summer and I really have no regrets. I stayed very mindful of the amounts I ate and although I went over my calories I know this is a little blip due to family. I did not over-indulge as I have done in the past. I'm sure it will show up in the next couple days, but I'm hoping I can end this round at 169.5 since I saw that number a couple times last round.
5/29 - 171 - I was expecting this, but I'm back on plan today and I hope I don't go up anymore this week.
5/30 - 169.5 - Well, there went the water weight from the past few days. I may bobble up and down the next couple days, but I'm happy to have hit this number this early in the round.
5/31 - 169 - This is nice, but due to some unexpected blood test results, my Dr. has taken me off the water pills that were prescribed a few years ago for my high blood pressure. It will be interesting to see how this will affect my weight. I'll just have to make sure to track my inches.
6/01 - 169 - I'm holding steady for now.
6/02 - 168.5 - Well, this was a surprise!
6/03 - 168 - Another surprise. Although I've been eating below my calories, the weight usually doesn't move down this quick. I'm expecting a bounce up tomorrow, but I'm glad to see this number.
6/04 - 168.5 - I'm very happy I've held to the 168's this long. Especially since I haven't been taking my water pill. We do have family coming in from out of town tonight to stay for a week. I'm just going to keep on tracking, both good and bad, and hopefully maintain this weight for the next 7 days.

Back on track, eating mostly at home now, and I've been doing lots of garden work - digging out shrubs and other things I don't want and planting perennials. So happy to have a garden again after 9 years of renting!
5/30 - 149.6 - 1290
I'm very happy to see the scale moving the right direction again! We may get thunderstorms this evening, but if they miss us, I'm planning a long walk.
5/31 - 150 - 1307
Bouncy bouncy. But other than not as much exercise yesterday, I'm doing everything right, so no worries.
6/1 - 149.4 - 1297 (10-day ave 1499.3)
I had a note written and somehow lost it, so I guess that means I should be more concise. :-) Anyway, happy to be trending downward on both weight and 10-day calorie average (which explains so much more than daily cals!).
6/2 - 149.4 - 1414 (10-day ave 1472.2)
Better and better. Calories and macros good yesterday, cal ave slowly falling to "loser" zone, 45-min walk (cut short by thunder & lightning), lots of other walking around, some gardening. Have a lovely weekend, all!
6/3 - 149.6 - 1820 (10-day ave 1516.3)
I had a bit of a blowout last night - coffee ice cream :-D - but my net calories were only slightly over my goal, so not so bad. I'd been thinking about coffee ice cream for weeks and decided last night was the night. I bought the small container and my husband polished it off after I got my serving, so there's none for tonight!
6/4 - 150.8 - 1384 (10-day ave 1516.8)
Waaa! But....I was convinced this made no sense at all until I calculated my 10-day average, which is still higher than SailRabbit says I need for weight loss, so it does make sense. On the plus side, I'm back to regular walks, working a lot in the garden (with a fair amount of digging and heavy lifting), and eating properly. It just seems that my body is content at 149-150!

Round 42 goal – no binging. Same lunch all week long. get back to the 180’s
5/28 – no scale
5/29 – 193lbs after the long weekend this is normal. Very busy this week so I hope I do okay.
5/30 – 191lbs – busy day and didn’t eat very good, busy all week. Don’t know if that’s good or bad!
5/31 – 188lbs – I ate so much yesterday??? This has to be from my not eating right the other day. When I say not right I mean not nearly enough
6/01 193lbs – how is a 5 pound swing possible. Was it the hamburger the other night? Or my only meal yesterday before oral surgery. Pizza hut buffet
6/02 – 191lbs – I was so worried last night that I gained more weight. Stepped on the scale and I was 200 even
6/03 – 195lbs – tooth pain gone. splurged and had giant burger with double meat.
6/04 – 193lbs – feeling a little chubby the last couple days.

Round 42
Round 40 SW: 313.8 EW 307.0
Round 41 SW: 307.0 EW 304.2
Round 42 SW: 304.2 GW 301.0 UGW 175.0
5/28 304.4 (+0.2) -- (Hot day yesterday at the Indy500 so lots of extra hydration. Should shed it today and get to business for the next nine days)
5/29 304.6 (+0.4) -- I think being at home is tougher than being at the office in terms of food choices. Stayed on plan and for me 0.4 is a blip. I will be traveling for work this week and will need to be focused on good food choices.
5/30 303.2 (-1.2) -- This helps. I try not to get too up or too down based on the number on the scale but heading on the road this morning seeing a down number does keep me motivated to stay on plan.
5/31 303.2 (-1.2) -- Did good on the first day of my road trip. Brought snacks in the car instead of stopping at fast food restaurants. Ate good choices at lunch with my customers. Stopped at a grocery store to buy some prepared food instead of another restaurant last night since I didn't have a dinner scheduled. Feel good this morning.
6/1 303.2 (-1.2) -- Went to the Pirates/Cards baseball game last night while visiting St Louis. Had a couple of light beers and a hot dog -- it's a baseball game after all....headed home later today. Road trip mostly successful so far....Hope everyone has a great weekend.
6/2 304.0 (-0.4) -- Home again. Up a tick but I ate much more sodium while traveling than I had been so hopefully just water retention. We'll find out tomorrow.
6/3 305.0 (+0.8) -- Bouncing all over the place. Time to bounce down.....
6/4 304.2 (0.0) Back to even for this round. Ick but ok. Trying to listen to my body after years of ignoring -- not an overnight process.

6/02 191 its gotta be those thyroid pills, but i'm doing my happy dance BMI 34.9
6/03 192.8 No idea why - i was under calories and sodium - i am going to assume for now that its just a blip and carry on
6/04 191.8 Ate at maintenance yesterday. It was a tough day and I was on the verge of a blowout several times. Nice to have the maintenance option so I could snack and not feel like I failed. Today is my b'day so i may eat at maintenance again - having sushi for dinner.

5/28--Out of town--Just checking in on everybody's progress! Got back tonight from our 3-day weekend trip; it was a belated birthday/anniversary celebration. We did some major retail therapy. We ate some really delicious meals and while I didn't log and I know I was over my daily calorie goals, I also made better food decisions than I would have a year ago. That is more important to me than measuring every calorie, because I am trying to change my eating habits for the rest of my life. I'm expecting to see a gain on the scale tomorrow, but I'm going to try to step up my activity level this week.
5/29--178.8 I was expecting this increase. I'm still going to try to get down to 175 this round!
5/30--179.0 Sigh...no excuses. I've been eating over my calorie goal and I haven't been very active. I did a lot of shopping over the weekend and was able to buy smaller sizes, so I need to remember that as motivation--my new clothes aren't going to fit if I keep going this direction! Pilates tonight.
5/31--178.0 Just hanging out in the comfort zone. I've been here for awhile....
6/01--178.0 At this point, I'll be happy if I get through the round right here. I had a meeting right after work last night and didn't have access to food, so I ate the provided food--pizza. I shouldn't be eating pizza in the first place because I am sensitive to dairy and wheat. Anyways, I went way over my calorie goal for yesterday and I feel yucky today. It's not going to get much better these next couple of days. I am on the leadership team for our local Relay for Life, which is tomorrow. I'm super excited for it, but I also know that my access to healthy food is going to be limited. Not to mention, it's going to be an insanely busy day at work today and I have a million things to do after work to get ready for tomorrow. Oy!
6/02--177.8 Happy to see this considering how many calories I've been consuming. I'm going to be running around like a crazy person for the next 16+ hours, so maybe that will translate into something good on the scale!
6/03--177.0 Go away, 177! Yesterday was fun and crazy and exhausting; no logging but I'm fairly certain I burned off any calories I ate yesterday. Now to get back to normal.
6/04--177.0 Stubborn.

5/28 / 232.4 / Very pleased to start this round with a loss from last round. I'm going to be experimenting this week making my version of bento boxes (pre-portioned items in separate compartments) for breakfast/lunch. So I can just grab one box and know it has a variety of items with a set number of calories. Ideas welcome, if anyone has done this. I like almost everything, but I have Celiac, so gluten is out.
5/29 / 231 / Most excellent! This puts me at 21 total pounds lost since I began in January. This was my goal for this round, but let's see if I can hold onto it!
5/30 / 232.2 / Boo to this bounce, but I know that I ate well and got my body in motion, so it's all good.
5/31 / 232.6 / Bouncing around but eating well.
6/1 / 231.2 / Still eating great.
6/2 / 230.4 / Missed a couple of days of posting, but I had all of you in my thoughts! Hooray for this weigh in, though I'm not feeling great today. I did mini protein muffins last night that weren't too bad, though they need some tweaking. Also pumpkin overnight oats for breakfast this morning that need some tweaking, too. I'm having pizza for dinner, so I expect to be at a higher weight in the morning if only for the salt.
6/3 / 231.6 / As expected, given my pizza fandango. TOM looms. I want to eat all the things.
6/4 / 231 / I'm surprised, frankly. I'm being a complete salt fiend right now, so I thought I would be puffed up like a pufferfish!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 Monday - 200.8 I finally slept thru the night last night for the first time in a whole week with a hacking cough. Woohoo. Nice not to see a huge jump after a night out. I was ravenous today so I just ate. Homemade breakfast sandwhich, some flat iron steak for a snack, and homemade matzo ball soup for dinner - which will also be lunch for a few days too. Goal for this round is to maintain at or under 199 which is 1 week or so ahead of schedule. Leaving for mini vacation at the end of this round, good motivator. Need to get a bathinsuit!
5/29 Tuesday - 202.4 - Back to my pre-sickness weight. Thats fine - I'd rather have my health and 2 pounds than that miserable cold for one more day. DH is on the verge of getting it now, lots of EmergenC, bone broth, and encouraging him to drink lots of water. Knock on wood he can beat it! Having a hard time drinking my smoothie this morning, but it will be done. Time to start downing water myself! Leftover soup for lunch, popcorn and blueberry applesauce for snack. No idea on what to have for dinner yet, still pretty exhausted so I need to make a plan so I don't end up eating convenience foods. I took out some ground beef, so maybe koren beef?
5/30 Wednesday - 201.8 - Half way thru the week! DH is home sick today - fingers crossed that this shall pass a little more quickly for him. I was 202 at first waking, then 201.8 about a half hour later. I was weighing later in the day when I was sick because I was sleeping in - and after seeing @tiabirdie56 show how her weights flucuate in the morning I wonder If my body operates in a similar way. I'll keep an eye on that as I continue my journey. NSV last night - went bathing suit shopping and found something flattering and confidence boosting! It even matches the sun shirt I already have. I spent a little more than I would have liked (again painfully frugal) but its a Lands End suit so I'm hoping to get a lot of use out of it this summer and it will hold up. The past summer I've been shy about swimming up at my MIL's because hanging out in a bathing suit is not something I enjoy - so I got a swim skirt and a modest tankini top and plan to ENJOY the lake and swim more this year. Hopefully the suit fits thru the summer, I guess if it doesn't that would be okay too! As long as its too big not too small! I will try on the top again tonight and make sure I don't need to size down, my recommended size online was a 14 but I purchased a 16 - but I'm notorious for wearing my clothes too big. I did make korean beef last night - tired and still not feeling 100% is not a time to try a new recipe! I also had some graham crackers and chocolate hummus, what a yummy dessert! Didnt pack a lunch today, only breakfast and snacks - thought I didnt have anything but I should have brought a veggie burger. I'll be sure to take that tomorrow! Maybe panera for lunch? Didnt take anything out of the freezer for dinner and with DH not feeling well I have a feeling I may be picking up Pho for him...we shall see. The things I can control today are to drink lots of water, make better portioned healthy choices, and to be kind to myself thru this process.
5/31 Thursday - 202.0 - Dinner last night was thrown off track because DH ate the leftovers I was planning on for dinner for his lunch. No big deal, I'm glad he ate something. I didn't have much of anything ready to cook (all meats frozen) but I did have a frozen pizza and french fries calling my name. I checked to make sure my portion would fit my caloric allotment - I went slightly over carbs and a bit over sodium because I had panera for lunch. I couldnt figure out why I was such a carb monster yesterday. I stepped on the scale this morning and was a bit dissapointed in myself and the number. *TMI warning - if womanly functions bother you feel free to scroll past! But TOM unexpectedly arrived and explained everything! Water retention and carb cravings are the norm for me a day or two before and a day or two during. A NSV for me as a woman with PCOS - my cycle has regulated to 28 days on the dot! I have a follow up with my endocrinologist next week, so I'm excited to be able to report some good news. I was ranging anywhere from 35-50 days previous to changing my diet. I'm hoping to start a family in the next 2 years or so, so this is one of my biggest goals is improving my reproductive health! I truly was not expecting TOM to come until next week (which would have sucked while vacationing but it always seems to happen that way without fail so I was planning for it). First day is still proving to be incredibly painful - hopefully that will improve as well as I continue my journey.
6/01 Friday -202.0 Just hanging out here. Fine by me FOR NOW. Definitely didnt get enough water yesterday. It was a pretty emotional day overall and I didnt crawl into a bowl of mac and cheese so thats a win. I made an old favorite recipe, taco noodle caserole. I used recipe builder, logged it, and ate an appropriate portion that fit my calories for the day. At lunch with a friend at panera I stuck with an order which I knew has worked in the past while still tasting food and filling me up. I'm a hurting unit today with crazy cramps and my lower back is aching. But I made my smoothie and packed lunch. May order out tonight - it's Friday, our usual order out night, but I'll do my best to be reasonable with my choices to fit in my day. A busy weekend ahead - hopefully seeing a house prospect Saturday, DH needs to shop for vacation clothes, lots of prep to get the house ready while we're away, and get the dog out for a hike. I'll need to drink my morning smoothie (need more flax milk) make sure to drink lots of water and have a positive attitude!
6/02 Saturday - 200.8 - surprised by that number this morning as last night we went out for fried seafood, and I was a bottomless pit upon returning home and ate 6 fig newtons! But, I logged it all as accurately as I could and it wasn't as much of a bust as I thought! Nonetheless I haven't eaten like that in a while. We also took a nice little hike after work so that was good! A busy day today checking out the house. Didn't eat breakfast, too many nerves and no flax milk for smoothie. Late lunch grilled meat and veggies, dinner was a homemade cajun chicken Alfredo that fit into my day nicely. An awesome new recipe that I will definitely use again, and could certainly modify to be lighter depending on needs. Ran errands all afternoon and I'm pooped! Need to make some good choices tomorrow at the grocery store, some meal prep for a short week but not too much because going away Thursday night and don't want to be wasteful. Excited for a good night's sleep!!
6/03 Sunday - 200.2 - first waking weigh in was 200.8 half hour later 200.2 - NSV went to the grocery store and bought ONLY what was on my list. Made a plan to use what I've got this week and only needed minimal ingredients. Made a New recipe tonight, zuppa Toscana copycat recipe came in around 400 cals per serving. I've been sticking to recipes more than I have in the past because it's easier to import the recipe in recipe builder and know the calories are close opposed to winging a recipe, which is what I usually do. Slight change but so far it's tasting good and easier to track! Bread an butter with soup put me right at cals for the day, but I plan to have a 150 cal dessert too because I'd rather fill the craving with a small amount of what I do want rather than a large amount of something else not satisfying. For today anyway but don't plan to make a habit of it. TOM really affects my hunger so I'm just listening to my hunger cues more closely and eating closer to maintenance when I am very hungry during TOM. We are both finally feeling better so back to getting to work early tomorrow. Short week, leaving Thursday night, lots to do before we go so planning to be positive and proactive about healthy eating this week so traveling is less taxing.
6/04 Monday - 200.6 - First waking was 201.2 - Less than 20 minutes later down to recorded weight...interesting. All things considered I'm happy with that number for today. I'm hopeful I can reach my goal by Wednesday. I will need to buckle down on hydration today and stay in the green today and tomorrow! This round has been all over the place weigh in wise - between TOM and being sick, I'm proud I didn't just go off the rails, but time to rededicate myself to the cause for the next two days - mini goal! I love the weekly digest report - I was in fact under my weekly caloric intake goal so I'm proud of that! Next Round will be interesting as we are traveling Thursday - Sunday so I'll be curious to see how I can maintain. Leftover soup for lunch today - and it might just end up being dinner too depending on how errands go this evening...other option is chicken thighs, so I've got options! Endo appointment is tomorrow afternoon - need to go over my prep and make sure I remember to ask him all these questions I've been thinking up lately. I still havent taken my measurements! Do that tonight or tomorrow and record so I can use those stats to go with test results from tomorrows appointment and I can compare all at my next 6 month follow up.

5/28 - 187.8 - Well this was a surprise since the last 10 days nothing seemed to be happening.
5/29 - 189.4 - Such a frustrating process this is
5/30 - 190.8 - Yesterday was a crap day, I met a guy for lunch I used to work with, who has successfully lost and is maintaining a 60 lb loss. The problem is he insists on KFC. He plans for it every Tuesday. He told me yesterday that is his big meal of the day. He works 12 hour shifts 5AM to 5PM so he goes to bed around 7 each night to be ready for his long day, so he is fasting from 3pm until around 7am the next day. I find KFC doesn't fill me, I am always hungry a couple hours after I eat it. I did go for two walks to burn off some calories but not enough.
5/31- 189.6 - well going in the right direction again.
6/01 - 188.2 - Pleasantly surprised again.
6/02 - 189 - another bad day yesterday need to buckle down again
6/03 - 188.2 good day yesterday so this should continue. My goal right now is to at least be where I started on day 1 when these 10 days end.
6/04 - 190.2 Must be from Friday, because Saturday and Sunday were good days.

Day/Weight/Comment
•5/28 - 196.6 - I'm not sure this is accurate. Simply because I was under tremendous stress yesterday and ate just enough food before going to bed to bring my calories over the edge of 1000.
Ended the day over 2000 calories despite my pre-planned food diary. I decided to eat the calories left behind during the past week due to lack of appetite. I had a protein heavy day of eating. Throughout the day I ate, fried chicken, a grilled chicken sausage, tossed salad, one half of a mini sweet pepper stuffed with a cream cheese spread (pretty much a fat bomb) and 2 slices of pound cake. I ate the cake, because of tradition. It was my Anniversay. All types of snack food, bread and cookies were available to eat, but I have no desire for it. I must confess that I did eat one dime size piece of potato chip that my 18 month old grandson offered to me. How could I refuse? He wanted to feed Grandmommy.
•5/29 -198.2
•5/30 - 200 - Only weighed once. It's the usual reason.
•5/31 - 199.2 - I ate my first meal at 5:30pm yesterday and a forced meal at 10pm just so I could end the day having not undereaten. I was just not hungry.
•6/1 - 198.8

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28: 133.6, came down with a pre-summer cold. Feel poopy and too tired to cook. Thank goodness I have no snack foods in my home.
5/29: 133.6, worked my 10 hour shift and felt okay. The I’m tired cravings did get to me, unfortunately, resulting on 6 mini Reese’s PB cups and a 330 calorie packet of peanuts being consumed.
5/30: 134.2, Never go to the market when you are tired; chips and salsa magically appeared in my bag. Of course, I ate some.
5/31: 132.6, Great date last night, he cooked smoked salmon, sautéed summer squash, tomato and avocado salad, and fresh strawberries for dessert. Long walk on the beach after dinner and spur of the moment movie at the theater (no popcorn for us!)
I think this one’s keeper. Both on the same page for health and eating style.
6/01: 131.8, a good health day. Food was on target and did quite a bit of walking around.
6/02: 135.4, salty, crunchy is my nemesis.
6/03: 133.8, more of the salty, crunchy junk at work.
6/04: 133.2, more of the same snacking...6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 - 159.4 - Horrible way to start this round. My meals weren't bad, no snacking, lots of yard work and a late evening walk after dinner. Water intake was good too. Hoping this is just a slight rise before a nice drop the next day or two. Lots of outside work to do again today and it's going to be hot, so I need to remember to keep drinking water.
5/29 - 158.6 - Usually I feel a yes! Or ehh or oh crap! when I step on the scale but this morning I really didn't feel anything. Yes I'm glad that it's gone back down and yes I'm still really want to lose the weight and I'm not giving up on my healthy habits I'm creating but there wasn't no excitement at the scale this morning. Looking in the mirror and seeing a difference is what I mostly get excited about and I haven't been seeing much change so I think the lose on the scale isn't meaning as much. Will be taking measurements again next week so hopefully it shows results so I can get excited again.
5/30 - 157.0 - Saw this number last round but knew it wasn't true, this time around it might be a little more accurate. Ate a healthy lunch, played a bunch of outdoor games with the kids and had a light dinner. I did have a cupcake though for my son's 5th grade promotion at his school but I logged it and I was still good with calories. Hoping this is a true number as I'm approaching my mini goal date. Also I'm not feeling so meh about the scale this morning, yesterday must just of been an off day.
5/31 - 157.0 - Well it stuck around this time but might see a slight increase in the next day or two as I ate a cookie and some ice cream for a "party" me and my daughter had yesterday for it being the last day of school and then some homemade pizza for dinner. Don't regret it though as we had fun and it made the day special for her. I'll get back on track today though and finish out this round strong.
6/01 - 157.0 - Happy with this, now to see a drop tomorrow.
6/02 - 158.0 - Not surprised by this, not enough water yesterday, took the kids to lunch at Applebee's and didn't eat dinner till about 10:00 last night. Also I'm weighing about a half hour later than normal. Soccer games this morning and a cookout at a friend's this evening.
6/03 - 158.8 - ??!! So frustrating
6/04 - 158.8 - (((sigh))) and I've been exercising and eating well.

6/04 164.5 I got a 30 day free gym membership from a local gym on Friday. Because I have COPD, I am pretty limited to what I can participate in, but it's a start. I plan to go "walk" the running track for 30 minutes, and then hop on a bike. I will also go for my usual lunch time work. Last week was super rainy out for most lunches, so I am looking forward to a great week of walks. I packed my breakfast, lunch and snacks and will only eat what I planned.

Round 42 GOAL = Log every day, even if I go over.
5/28 - 129.2 - yesterday gave up on everything. Not my best day
5/29 - 128.8 - yesterday logged food, stayed under maintenance, nice hike in the hills in the heat with hubs 5 miles, 600' climb, 85 degrees - hello summer, suddenly
5/30 - 128.8 - yesterday logged food, stayed under maintenance, took a walk at lunch and at least got 10K steps. Didn't oversnack on writing group Tuesday (yeah that's a thing).
Still feeling some anxiety during the day but I have slept well 5 nights in a row. Knee a little sore from Monday's hills I guess, wearing zero-drop runners to work
5/31 - 128.0 - yesterday logged and right at maintenance, 8K steps but knee is still ditzy.
6/1 - 127.8 - yesterday logged and just under maintenance, 6K steps just doing life, knee still fragile. Today - stay strong and don't eat 'em while I can't burn 'em. My pattern is: lose the weight, get injured exercising, be unable to discipline myself to drop cals from 2000 back to 1500 maintenance, regain the weight......
I AM STILL HERE LOGGING SO I WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN, because (newsflash) losing the same 15-20 over and over is hard on my body!!! So this is my first big test: some pain I would be an idiot to exercise around. Got to drop the calories. One day at a time!
6/2 - 127.6 - yesterday just a smidgeon over maintenance calories, still babying sore knee, to bed early. Succeeding in logging food every day. Working out some exercises I can do with a sore knee, but unfortunately those don't really burn many calories...
6/3 - 127.2 - Yesterday logged all food, under maintenance calories and got in 30 minutes on an elliptical and some planks and crunches and pushups and stuff. Knee still sore when running but, I am proving to myself that I can work through a setback without regaining, in fact cruising back into the middle of maintenance zone. So yay!
6/4 - 127.6 - Yesterday a squidge over maintenance and managed no exercise, but logged. Very emo day; again, settling into maintenance it's good to have an emo day with a few extras but log, not continue the extras, feel pretty in- the-saddle with regard to my choices (as opposed to feeling dragged behind the horse)

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
5/28 136.5 WHOO HOO! Almost no carbs yesterday. Tracking again. It makes a difference. Almost 100 posts to read! Home from community picnic. One hamburger, one hotdog, a thin slice each of tomato and onion. I pinched a teeny bite of cookie from DH - 3 raisins and not much else!
5/29 137.5 Too much salt in the evening. This too shall pass.
5/30 137.5 Hurt my foot yesterday. A board fell over on it. Not a big board but it is swollen and bruised. I’m going to water fitness anyway and will see what I can do.
5/31 136.5 The bruise is fading but it still feels as if I’m walking on a cotton ball.
6/1 136.0 We took a road trip yesterday so I stayed off my foot most of the day. Swelling and bruise almost gone. Ate French fries yesterday, we’ll see if that causes a problem in a day or two!
6/2 135.0 WHOO HOO Tracking is paying off!
6/3 135.0
6/4 135.5 I ate something late because I had only had about 300 calories for the day. I need to stop doing that. I wasn’t hungry - that is what Keto does and it’s a signal that I am in ketosis and my body is using my fat stored for fuel. On the bright side, I put the Zumba DVD in and started learning some of the steps. I have 2 left feet!4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 199.9 Happy dance!!! Great way to start off this round.
5/29 199.5 Well…happily the scale did not reflect the snacks I ate yesterday…..something I haven’t really done since the beginning of April. A small kit kat bar, potato chips, and fudge cookies. However, we’ve been helping one of our daughters move the past several days…so I’ve been working my tail off (and hopefully my belly, too….lol). But it’s back to sticking with my calorie goal today.
5/30 199.6
5/31 199.0 This was after I ate a bowl of homemade spaghetti and meat sauce last night. Despite the fact that I’m working hard to lose weight, I also really don’t want to deprive myself of things I like to eat. I had made the spaghetti because I had some of the grandchildren over for dinner, otherwise I probably would have had a salad and some chicken breast or something. So I made the decision to go ahead and eat with them…I just paid attention to how much I served myself. If I’m going to continue to be successful at losing weight, it’s all about portion size.
6/01 199.0
6/02 199.2

6/04 199.3 Again. Where’s my whoosh?

@jerier, The day before Memorial day I was under high stress and had eaten less than a third of my calorie allotment. It wasn't until late in the evening that I ate more food, but still under calories. My weight took a dive the next morning.2
