6/17= 147.6 8-mile bike ride.
6/18= 147.6 10-mile bike ride. Tried on dresses in boutiques in Dunedin today. Several were very form fitting. The sales lady said, “yes, but you’ve got the figure for them!” I was doing the happy dance inside, that’s for sure!
6/19= 148.4 12-mile bike ride
6/20= 148.4 I’ve worked my way back up to a pretty easy 14 miles on my bike which gets me lots of exercise calories I’m not eating, but I guess I’m also building muscle. I’m ok with this weight. Just want to stay below 150 forever.

6/17 181.6: Right direction, finally. Walked even though my knee is hurting. Probably not a good thing, but I have a hard time deciding whether I’m really in danger of permanent injury or whether I’m just being a wuss. Aching knee made it hard to sleep. I’m icing, massaging, using Voltaren and Tylenol. I really don’t want to quit walking now. Perhaps I’ll try wrapping it before I walk today. Made a gorgeous Father’s Day breakfast for hubby and boys and ate a whopping 522 calories of berry pancakes with maple syrup and bacon. Will behave for the remainder of the day.

6/18 – 182.2 Even typing those numbers is hard. My scale heard every expletive known to man this morning!! Oh well … onward. PERSISTENCE!!!

6/19 -- – 180.8 And THAT’S the weirdness of the body and the weight loss process!! Yesterday, I had a horrendous eating day. Within calories, but every manner of junk, both sweet and salty, that you can imagine. I was emotional, sad, depressed and not having any of the healthy lifestyle. At the end of the day, I decided that I would press the reset button for today. And I have. As odd as it is, I will take this drop with both hands and deep gratitude even though it’s probably a false positive.

6/20 -- 181.0 Uptick to reflect nasty eating two nights ago. Walked for an hour. Knee bothered me the whole way. I must make an appointment to have it checked out. Today my niece arrives from overseas for a 20 day stay. The next three weeks are going to be an eating challenge with baseball games, festivals, fairs and other tourist-type activities. Must keep my head in the game.

6/17 179.0 / This is a pleasant surprise since I ate out last night and went over calories. I’m looking forward to trying extra hard to stick to my goals.
6/18 179.4/ I didn’t drink nearly enough water yesterday. My goal for the 10 days is to get at or below 178. I’ll be drinking a lot of water today and I have five work-outs planned this week.
6/19 177.6 / I’m not sure how I got here, but this is the lowest weight I’ve seen in a long time. It seems like I’ve been stuck between the same three pounds for months. I’m hoping to keep up the good work throughout the rest of the 10 days!
6/20 179.8/ I know that it has to be water weight, I stayed under calories yesterday, but we ordered hibachi take-out which probably contained a lot of salt. I’m trying to drink even more water today and as long as the rain holds off after work I'll be able to get my walk in this evening.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

6/17 134.5. Well, that’s what a few carbs too many do to me. 4 tortilla chips and about 3/4” of chimichanga. I scraped the meat and cheese out and left 99% of the flour tortilla.
6/18 136.0 ???? I need to remind myself that it takes 2-3 days for my food choices to be reflected on the scale.

6/18--175.6 Yes please! This is how I was hoping to end the last round. Better late than never! Now let's see if I can make it stick...
6/19--176.4 Well okay. Yesterday was a serious food day. I've noticed that the week after TOM is when I really want to eat everything in sight. I also reached a point yesterday where I just did not want to log everything. Like, I was done. So I stopped--and I was okay with it. The thing is, I'm trying to change my lifestyle and my habits for the rest of my 50 or so years on this planet. Part of that is being okay with not counting and logging all of my calories, because that's not what I want to do every day, forever. So I just went with it. This morning I got up, weighed in, and logged all those calories from yesterday that I didn't feel like logging. And I'm doing just fine! Back on track today and no regrets

6/17 - Sunday - 197.6 - worked hard yesterday to find a happy medium between what I wanted and what I had calories for. Another day of being mindful while still enjoying life. I expect my usual Monday gain before any more losses. Really had to think about goals last night. I'm so happy with my progress so far. I decided to plan for 1lb/week over the next 15 weeks giving me til around November 1st. I updated my goal in Libra and it put my trend goal date around mid September at my current rate. So, I have room for life to happen within my goal timeframe. Feels really empowering to be planning for the next 4 months after a successful 2 months. I am committed to my health!!!
6/18 - Monday - 199.8 - Whoa what a gain! It's a just a hair over my trend line on the upside but this is about progress, not perfection. Not sweating it. I logged everything. But more importantly I ENJOYED everything. Sometimes lately I've been feeling bad about eating certain things - not physically - but guilty - which takes the joy out of food and other moments. So yesterday I had a plan to stay within calories, but we happened upon some BEAUTIFUL broccoli rabe and DH had to make pork and rabe sandwhiches - they were otherworldly. Also picked up some fragrant fresh picked strawberries - was going to have a just a handful - but MIL brought over freshly baked shortbread and I had coolwhip - so after a long day we enjoyed strawberry shortcakes. For me, food really is to be enjoyed - fresh, homemade, healthy food in moderation. And heck, even moderation in moderation! So yesterday was a win for me! Been doing well taking my supplements too! Back to work for another successful week! Forgot my blender bottle at work over the weekend so just a hard boiled egg and a nectarine for breakfast today. Leftover quinoa bowl for lunch with added black bean burger. Plans to order out to avoid record breaking heat tonight and alleviate stress after a super late night at the laundromat last night - going to prelog now so I know what will work best!
6/19 - Tuesday - 198.6 - I'm figuring this out! Chinese food take out last night - but made good choices; half a spicy salmon roll, order or pork steam buns and half order wonton in spicy chili oil. I was able to make those smart decisions because right before I left work, even though at the moment I wasnt hungry, I had a quick protein shake to hold me over. Good thing, I would have been ravenous come dinner time and ordered a ridiculous amount of food and binged. I noticed that my new fish oil supplement is actually putting me over my calorie goal. I got the liquid version for better % and absorption, but its 40 cals/serving twice a day - so that will take some adjusting to - eating almost 100 cals less a day to fit that in - but I'm not forcing it right now. I'm happy that I'm creating a new habit and hopefully improving my numbers, the food will adjust as I figure out how to not be hungry on 100 cals less.
6/20 - Wednesday - 199.0 - Still on target for downward trend - thank goodness for Libra (weight trend tracking app), it keeps me focused on the bigger picture. Went for a walk last night, cleaned the kitchen, did a grocery store trip to get necessities to continue on the right path. Had taco bell cantina bowl for lunch yesterday because not much in the house, it fit in the calories for the day and 200mg over sodium - this is actually a decent fast food option at 500 cals. Buger and salad for dinner. Today I have my smoothie, packed a delicious homemade chefs salad, and working on my water early! Forgot my fish oil this morning, but remembered to take b-complex to work to add to morning routine - it's a process but I feel the routine becoming habit! Prelogged breakfast and lunch. No plan for dinner yet, but I took out a chicken breast and we have tons of veggies to grill or saute so no excuses, cooking dinner at home tonight!

Here again. Company coming the end of this week and then I’m off on a trip a week later. Thought I’d better at least try my best to record every day so as not to have eating totally spiral out of control. Will try to get in at least 2 gym sessions before the company arrives.

6/18, Monday - 161.6 - Goal weight for this round is lower than I would usually do but I did see a few days in the 160’s last round so decided to try for it. Would so love to see a 159’s on the scale before I go away.
6/19, Tuesday – 161.2 – Feel like I have too many balls in the air and afraid I’m headed for disaster with company coming (daughter and 6 grandkids), going away while she’s still here, going to a wedding where we’ll see lots of relatives (usual “What on earth will I wear??), trip up north and then east after the wedding visiting/helping kids with projects. Have to remind myself that: I have got part of the wedding present and a sort of plan for the rest, while I looked everywhere for something dressy for the wedding and found nothing, I have started sewing something. House needs a tidy through and clean but is not a disaster. Just have to not panic and keep plugging and don’t get bogged down in detail or distracted.
6/20, Wednesday – 160.8 Feeling a little draggy today but so happy to see the 160’s even if just barely. Just going to keep plugging along today and drink lots of water.

This is my 1st round. I've been really struggling with my weight the last month, yo-yo-ing up and down the same couple of pounds. Hope these 10 days can get me back on track.

Day/Weight/Comment

6/17: Weight = 171, I didn't track calories today and had too many salty/carby snacks + Margaritas at Father's Day cook-out

6/18: Weight = 172, I expected a bump up from yesterday but this is a hard number for me, it is the highest I've ever weighed. BUT, I have a plan for the day and feel confidant. I am starting The Betty Rocker 30 Day Challenge, which is different body weight exercises each day and will loosely follow her meal plan. I plan to follow her general eating guidelines just not her actual meal plans all the time.

6/19: Weight = 169, Yesterday was a good day! I completed the day 1 exercises from the 30 day challenge and ate within my calories, hit my macros, and followed the meal plan guidelines: Protein and fruit/veg at every meal, carbs with breakfast and the meal after exercise (which for me was dinner since I worked out in the afternoon), ate every 2-4 hrs, limited dairy and was gluten-free, drank lots of water. Feeling great so far, I will never see the 170's on my scale again!

6/20: Weight = 169, Yesterday was great until the afternoon. I did day 2 of my 30 day challenge workout and ate the 1st two of my scheduled four meals according to plan but then had a stressful afternoon/evening with my daughter (she was having an anxiety attack) and missed my 3rd and 4th meals all together. It was 9 p.m. by the time she was settled and I hadn't eaten since 12:30. I wasn't up for starting to cook at that hour and needed to eat something quick so I just made a sandwich and took to my bed to watch some mindless Bravo shows with a glass or two or Pinot Grigio. I logged those calories this morning and went over my calories by 350 and they were off plan but I'm okay with that. Everything in moderation, and I'm glad I maintained my weight and didn't go into a full binge eating from the stress.
