I start this round still in the throes of my sugar addiction. I'm doing Keto in every way, except I've had a dessert item every day for the last 10 or so. Trying to break the cycle.

Day/Weight/Comment

6/27 = 192.0 (+0.6), BF% = 15.4 (no change). Had some dark chocolate chips last night after dinner, so my streak, and the struggle of addiction, continues (had too much, they weren't that "dark"). Haven't been getting enough sleep. I have a "sort of" job interview today; I meet with two people, and based on my meeting I will be "banded" (placed in a category) that will determine my "priority" for getting an interview. I'm tired. Going to need eyedrops and caffeine. I was falling asleep at work yesterday. I should be able to catch up on sleep tonight. Perhaps I'll go to the gym after work, depending on how I'm feeling. My two pound drop on my last weigh-in was likely dehydration, so this number is okay. I really want to break this sugar cycle. Going to try to stay mindful today. I just decided to throw away the chocolate chips. And I just threw them away.

6/28 = 190.2 (-1.8), BF% = 15.3 (-0.1). BWHOOSH™. I only THOUGHT I threw my chocolate chips away at the end of my most recent post (above). I looked in the fridge last night after dinner (and a great day of eating overall), and they were there. They were calling me. I grabbed them, had a couple, and remembered what I posted the day before about my intention to throw them away. So I did. Right in the trash can. I'm going to call that my first step. This weight equals my all-time (more than 25 years) low. I got here a couple of weeks ago, but I've still never had a weigh-in below 190. Today I'm going to focus on eating mindfully, so I can break that plateau. I don't want sugar, so I'm not going to eat it. There's no basketball tonight, but I'm going to commit to going to the gym (full workout) either tonight or tomorrow (my rotating day off, every other Friday). I'm also going to play basketball on Saturday (my first time in almost 3 weeks). I feel like I'm getting back on track.

6/29 = 189.4 (-0.8), BF% = 15.2 (-0.1). I cheated a little bit. Today is my day off, and my weigh-in was a LITTLE later than usual. But I'm still going to take this as a victory (189.x). I did a good job eating yesterday, and I had NO SWEETS WHATSOEVER. Somehow I survived. I'm going to the gym this morning to lift weights, I'm gonna hang out with my Pops after that for a couple of hours, then I'm going to the movies with my brother, his wife, and my niece. Later I'm going to have a drink with my wife and some crazy food that I will try to (I believe I can) keep Keto. I'm going to do my best to budget some calories for tonight, and I will go for a bourbon drink (rather than beer). I'm back to feeling more settled. I think my relapse might be over. It's not time to relax, but I think I can take things down from DEFCON 2 to DEFCON 4.

@tiabirdie56 I haven't actually bought it yet. There's a delay between my brain thinking something and my body actually making it happen. I'll see if my local store carries Bragg, otherwise I'll hit the interwebz up for it. Hmm. Maybe I just hit the interwebz. That seems more likely to happen sometime in the near future.

@MadisonMolly2017 I have your back, too.

Apologies again to everyone who is amazingly awesome on my behalf (and to others, of course), yet my brain forgets to say "thank you." I'll try to get better and making that connection in the moment, because I know how much it means to me when I feel seen/acknowledged. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

If I haven't said it lately, I really do love all of you. And it's not just puppy-love.

June
27: 197.9... Excellent start for this round! Sushi dinner early last night with my now 17yo daughter. It was delicious! We shared her birthday tempura ice cream which I'd never had before. I'd only known fried ice cream as a Mexican restaurant treat. Stuck to IF. Macros were pretty good. My Fitbit isn't syncing, so it appears that I'm over my calories, even though I'm not. Hopefully, that issue gets fixed soon.
28: DNW
29: 199.6... Feeling bloated today. Not sure why. Walked about 4 miles late yesterday evening, drank over 100oz of water, and had a 500+ calorie deficit with decent macros. Hot and humid here today, so most of my free time will probably be spent just trying to stay cool.

@puddlegoober Lol!!! I love the DEFCON analogy. I just looked it up. https://www.wikihow.com/Understand-the-DEFCON-Scale

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Goal Weight July 2019 - 140

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 - 189.2 - Yesterday was not the healthiest eating day although I did manage to exercise most of the calories off. I'm going to try some different things this round and see how it goes.
6/28 - 187.8 That makes more sense. Yesterday I decided not to have breakfast, I want to see how that affects my overall eating for the day. It went well, I didn't struggle trying to keep my calories in check. I'll try it again today.
6/29 - 187.0 - Had an executive in town yesterday that insisted on a burger place for lunch. Nothing low cal on the menu at all! Still managed to stay in the green for the day, but so frustrating.

@jerier I actually messed it up (thank you for the link!), and edited my post; my brain had it backwards (5 is bad, 1 is good). My intensity level has definitely been on the way down (from 2 to now 4). DEFCON 1 is intense. What's been happening?

6/28 168.0 trend wt: 167.7 loss/wk 0.4
I finally hit goal #1 ✅ below (avg June at 168.4 which is the 2lb loss I was shooting for from May’s avg) I wasn’t sure I’d make it, but I am!

6/29 168.0 trend wt: 167.7 loss/wk 0.4

Adjusting to half the weight loss per month has been somewhat nerve-racking, but I’m gradually realizing that my tiny habits & routines as well as tracking & my groups in MFP are helping. More sleep is helping, too!

Eating with small or no deficit & continuing to boost length & intensity of daily long walks/hikes and upping the weights at Pilates. Focus: Health

Starting GW: 169 ✅
Revised GW: 168.6 [BMI Normal @ 5’9”] ✅
Next Goals: 1. Average weight for June 168.4 (-2lbs)✅
2. Average steps for June > 10K
3. 10-day trend moving avg decreasing or maintaining.
4. Reach 165.8 (s l o w l y) as I adjust to maintenance mentality.

OK, just saw Calculation for BMI=(703 x wt in lbs) divided by height in inches squared
5’9” - BMI 24...Weight 162.5
5’8.5” - BMI 24... wt: 160.1
Will think about this...after I get to 165.8!

Round 45/Round 1.5 for me

SW: 152.7
UGW: 125
RGW: 130/135
Weekly goal: lose one pound, exercise 6 days a week a minimum of 30 minutes. Minimum 30 minutes cardio daily.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: 152.6 — The good news is that despite being gone 10 days traveling/vacationing I managed to get some good exercise in and I didn't gain, just left off where I was when I left. I'll take it! So glad to be back here, truly!
6/28: 151.8 — Nice to see a drop. Got lots of water yesterday and kept my carbs in check. Also quit eating at 6:45pm—no evening snacking or wine drinking, my downfall. Would love to see 149 by the end of this round, which means I really have to strategize my food and workouts.
6/29: 149.6 — I think my new strategy may be working…no food or alcohol after 6:30/6:45pm. Gallons of water each day. Trying to really focus on eating more protein which is something I’m not a natural at…..

Another awesome workout yesterday and ate within my budget. May not be able to get a workout in today but I’ll try to. Hoping the weight at least stays here for a bit and doesn’t go up.
6/29 - 121.2
Weighing machine was being weird and gave me a reading of 121.4 and then only 121 onwards. I’ll just average it out 😂
Yesterday was rest day, I ate well and did have rice but did not overeat. Looking forward to working out today.
