I notice that I keep making the same typo over and over. I'll write my weight as 24x when I mean 23x, or 23x when I mean 22x. My brain is struggling to keep up with my body!

6/27 at 7:15 / 227.4 / Wow! That's 2.6 pounds overnight. I had a drop like that last round, too, though I bounced right back up. Sometimes, I imagine my body is laughing like that cartoon dog with the weird laugh as I get on the scale. "Let's see how surprising I can be. Tee hee hee."
6/28 at 6:20 / 228.4 / A little bump, but I did a ton of exercise yesterday, including new resistance loop exercises. I expected to have more of a water bump than this.
6/29 at 7:30 / 228.6 / Got some TOM nonsense.
6/30 at 8:15 / 228.6 / TOM. Blech.
7/1 at 9:15 / 227.6 / Feeling much better.
7/2 at 8:10 / 227.6 / It's so HOT! I think the trees are melting. I haven't been getting my exercise in, but have been meeting my calorie goals (aside from Saturday, when I went over by 12 calories). Hope everyone is hanging in there as best you can.

Rainy day today, but last evening I had a lovely long walk on our beautiful river greenway. Off to the weight room later. I'm feeling more optimistic about this round than I have in a while. Off we go!
06/28 - 148 - 1427 - 10-day ave 1361
My fat cells finally seem to be ready to let go. Yay! Finally! I'm planning a nice long walk this evening before the "hazardous heat" returns tomorrow, and we're going to try a new-to-us Ethiopian restaurant for lunch. Vegetarian injera platter for me! Yum!

Another day on which I didn't plan to go so low on calories, but even stuffing myself on Ehtiopian veggies, my big fat lunch cals were not much, and I just wasn't hungry until about 9, when I had an English muffin with peanutbutter.
06/30 - 148.6 - 1478 - 10-day ave 1356
That half lb is sodium & water - I had very salty red beans & rice for dinner. Uck. I drank about 6 glasses of water last night (and more during the day, of course), but even so.... We have another very hot day on the way, but that's ok - it is almost July! Have a great weekend, all.

Nice, warm-but-not-furnace-y, overcast day. I'm hoping to get my walk in before the rain (if any on the Greenway - 40% chance). Hubby wants to go out for pancakes for lunch, so I'll be having eggs. I love breakfast for lunch/dinner! Then I plan to do some gardening, painting (watercolor, not walls!), and, in the evening, writing. Play with my doggy girl all along the way. She likes to help, as you can see (sorry it's so big - is there a way to reduce the size on the forum?). Have a lovely, healthful day, all!

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.
6/30 - 185.6 - I'm not going to get excited by this today, I seem to see 185 once every challenge for the last 3 and then it disappears again.
7/01 - 188.6 Well good thing I didn't get excited yesterday.
7/02 - 189.2 - I think this is a result of the salt I've had the last couple of days. Lots of water today and see what happens.

6/27 188 woosh! partly due to lots of fibre and partly due to sleeping in -now to make it stick
6/28 188.6 - patience is a virtue after all
6/29 DNW - up all night with depressed teenager - this is when my eating tends to go off the rails - will aim for maintenance today and log it all
6/30 189.8 Thanks for all the hugs yesterday. Yesterday was a WAM day. At first that was an acronym for wife and mother - which is what I put on my exercise calendar when caretaking takes all my time and energy for the day. (otherwise it's W for walk, WO for workout or R for rest) WAM is also nicely onomatopoeic for that feeling of being banged around by life. (The image in my head is like the old batman comics) Now it has a third meaning "work at maintenance" which is what I did. It is great to be able to cut yourself a little slack without it feeling like failure or cheating. My weight is up a little but that is most likely digestive issues.
7/01 188.0 Hoping it sticks this time - good day yesterday. Work out done, calories on target and a calm household
7/02 187.2 !! wasn't expecting a drop Ate well but not much exercise. Happy to be putting some distance between me and that 190.

6/27: 170.4/Very motivated after the last round. Hoping to blast into and through the 160’s as far as possible these next 10 days.
6/28: 171.0/Yesterday got away from me and I ended up doing things a lot later than planned. Ate candy and had a pop late. Have been going to bed really late and not getting enough sleep.I did get exercise in and was within my calorie budget.
6/29: 171.0/Again did not get eat when I wanted. Working on eating more frequently throughout the day.
6/30: 171.2/Frustrated and disappointed, hoping to get in the 160’s soon. Starting C25k tomorrow. Still trying to focus on eating more frequently throughout the day as opposed to later at night.
7/01: 171.2/Took a break from exercise yesterday, my body needed a break, my lower back has been bothering me. I had such a rapid weight loss initially I was hoping to have more, but I guess that was probably the water weight and now I headed for slow but steady progress hopefully.
7/02: 170.4/Clothes are fitting better and I am feeling well. My skin is looking good and my memory and emotional regulation has improved.12 -
Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 - Wednesday - 196.6 - Worked really hard to avoid stress eating last night - stayed within calories and made dinner at home after some less than stellar news at work. HUGE WIN - as I normally would have went straight for the comfort foods on the way home. Now to continue on with good planning and choices because the stress shall remain for a while. Cheesesteak stuffed pepper for dinner tonight for me and cheesesteak sandwich for DH. Breakfast smoothie and lunch prepped and packed and made it to work on the early side so feeling good about all those things. Going to an outdoor concert friday and packing a picnic so need to plan that menu. Lots of planning has gotten me this far and I'm finally starting to enjoy the habit.
6/28 - Thursday - 196.4 - I believe TOM is imminent. I'm feeling a bit bloated and I've been hanging out at the same weight for 3 days - which is a pattern I've noticed the past two months. Also a carb monster. I've been around 100g of carbs the past few days - today is around 150g and I'm okay with that. I planned my day of eating around pizza for dinner but I need to get more protein in - and in different ways than my protein shake - getting sick of it and that's when things turn bad for me. Going to get a bunch of those tuna packets and make that my afternoon snack. Last night was good - took a nice walk and had a steak and cheese low carb wrap instead of the pepper but it all worked out. Need to do some prep tonight to get ready for tomorrow evening outdoor concert as we will probably leave from work so it will be a busy night tonight. I find I'm managing stress a LOT better. Good food = good vibes for me. If I was going thru what I am now, 6 months ago, my head would have been buried in a pot of pasta. Feeling healthy, hopeful, and strong.
6/29 - Friday - 196.2 - Good night last night - stuck to food plan. A bit of a self sabotage morning - I skipped making breakfast smoothie - but I did bring my protein powder. I didn't pack lunch - we didn't have much to pack. I bought donuts for the work crew - but havent eaten one yet! Hmmm...alright so to avoid falling prey to the traps I have set for myself, I will; drink my protein shake by 11, make a reasonable choice for lunch (maybe panera or taco bell cantina bowl?), log it and move on whatever happens. Picnic tonight - stopping at the grocery store on the way and I CANNOT be starving when we are shopping or I'll overeat tonight. Stick to - 1 bread, 1 cheese, 1 meat,1 dried fruit, 1 type of nuts - also possibly something from the prepared food; some time of protein? Cookies for dessert. Today is my 20 but need to remind myself not to make a whole weekend out of it! Back to basics tomorrow. Be in the moment and ENJOY tonight with DH.
6/30 - Saturday - 196.4 - reeeaaally holding on to this number. Awesome night last night and miraculously ate around maintenance with some really tasty foods. Had a midnight munchies attack on the way home tho, almost stopped at Wendy's but made it home to snack on some chips and salsa. Feeling good today but need a lot of water!!!
7/01 - Sunday - 196.6 - This is the most days in a row I've seen a number stay the so close to the same. Crazy hot and humid and definitely not enough water. Busy day grocery shopping, farm stand, and butcher. Cooked a bunch of pad thai, and grilled shrimp for food prep/lunch - had mahi mahi tacos with mango chutney and cole slaw for dinner. Hip is bothering me, not sure what that is all about.
7/02 - Monday - 197.4 - Can't say I'm terribly surprised - still no TOM, still hot and humid and hip is now killing me. Managed to get a lot done yesterday but there is never enough hours in the day - kitchen is still trashed from all the food prep yesterday but I was just too hurting to tackle it. I think I'll do some baby steps tonight as to straighten up a bit but not further flare up my hip. Good news is I'm back at it today with a breakfast smoothie, wrap for lunch, tuna packet snack, and dinner planned and cooked. Our family has birthday's 7/3 and 7/5 so the next 3 days are celebrations...not so sure how this round is going to end up but I'm visualizing the scale at 195.6 despite it all.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: Weight = 165.8 Scale hasn't moved in 3 days...Will just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for a whoosh to be coming! Completed Day 8 of The Betty Rocker 30 Day Challenge yesterday which was an Abs workout and was under in calories for the day. My hamstrings are a bit tight today so I'm going to do some stretches and get in a short shake out run before today's Day 9 workout. This group really motivated me to stay committed the last round, hoping to do the same this round!
6/28: Weight = 165.4 Well, the scale finally moved a small bit down after 4 days, but not sure it is real. I had to get on and off a couple of times before this number showed up, the numbers were all over the place. I don't want to say it is discouraging, because it just motivates me more to stay committed but it is a bit of a bummer to not see any real progress so far this week. Exercise and food wise, yesterday was right on target. I was right on my calorie goal, hit my macros, went for a short run, completed day 10 of my exercise challenge which was a full body workout. I didn't have any gluten, diet cokes or alcohol & drank plenty of water. I still have a lot of pain in my calves, which I am pretty sure is DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). I know those small muscle tears can retain water, so I am hopping that is the cause of the scale not going down. Today is a yoga day, thankfully! I'm also not going to have the protein powder I started using a couple of days ago, in my diet today. That's the only thing new I've added in this week, so maybe it could be the sneaky culprit
6/29 Weight = 165.4 Ugh!!! So frustrating! I don't think I have every tried to lose weight and had this happen. There had better be a huge Woosh in my future The good news is the DOMS in my calves in lessening, so hopefully the scale will start to move again. Yesterday was a good day food wise, ate according to plan, hit my calories and my macros, IF 16:8, didn't have gluten, diet coke, or alcohol, and had plenty of water. I completed day 11 of my exercise challenge which was yoga and gave my sore legs a bit of a rest. It's hot here today, for the 1st time in a week or so (upper 90's) but still going to try to get a short run in and then do my cardio workout that is scheduled. Heading to the beach early tomorrow morning for a day trip, so will have to be up even earlier to get my workout in. Dreading the swimsuit.
6/30 Weight = 165.8 so that number is back, what a surprise *sarcasm* I bought a new scale yesterday and did a side by side weigh in and was .5 lbs higher on the new scale. This morning's weigh-in in on the new scale, so it would've been 165.3 on the old scale, which would've been a tiny loss. It is what it is. I ran yesterday outside in the hot hot heat, did my day 12 challenge which was cardio blast (jump squats and push ups ladders) and ate within my calories and macros + had a glass and half of red wine. I'm going to up my calories a little bit this upcoming week and see if that shakes anything up on the scale. Will I ever get out of the 165's??????? Headed to the beach now, and will have to really work hard to stay within my goals today food wise. Have a great Saturday everyone!
7/01 Weight = 165.6 (new scale) Had a great day at the beach yesterday! I had a juice smoothie before we left and then tried to make the smartest food choices I could, based on what the options were. Lunch was from a beach shack, so ZERO healthy options. I had a cheeseburger/no bun, just the patty. Dinner was an Italian restaurant so I ordered two appetizers as my main course which were 2 meatballs and sauteed broccoli with garlic. I avoided all beach snacks but did enjoy a Margarita with dinner, made "Italian style" with Amaretto added in, so probably loaded with calories but so delicious after a hot day at the beach. We got home around 9:30 last night but I still made myself complete my day 13 exercise challenge, which was Pilates, so not too strenuous. I definitely didn't drink my usual amount of water yesterday and it is going to be a record high here today, so going to be getting in lots and lots of water today. Happy July everyone!
7/02 Weight = 165.1 YES!!!!!! Thrilled with this number Finally some movement on the scale. My goal for this round was to be in the 163s but that's probably not happening after last week's plateau, I'll just be happy to be out of these horrible 165s. Yesterday was miserably & uncharacteristically hot. I put off doing my workout until later hoping the heat would lessen (we don't have AC downstairs, only window units upstairs in bedrooms) but at 9:30 p.m. it was still 91 degrees/103 with heat index, so I had to bite the bullet and just get it done. So day 14 of my exercise challenge was completed, it was an Upper Body workout. Super hot here again today and the scheduled workout is a Full Body Tabata style, it is going to be hard but I will get it done. Going to get in a lot of water and be super careful of my food choices today, I want to see 165 gone tomorrow when I get in the scale.

Round 44 report: Logged 6/10 days, 4/5 cardio workouts, 1/5 mini-strength workouts. Maintenance at 125-130 but average was up to 128.
Round 45 GOAL = Log every day. Cut sugary treats for THIS 10-DAY ROUND. Get 4 cardio workouts. Get 4 MINI strength workouts.
6/27 - 127.0 - yesterday under maintenance calories, no treat sugar, 7K steps.
6/28 - 127.2 - yesterday under maintenance calories, 13K steps including run to gym and elliptical 35 minutes.
6/29 - 127.4 - yesterday just over maintenance calories, 7K steps. It was the third day of avoiding extra sugary treats. Found myself when very tired at night, having a hard time wanting something treat-y.
6/30 -127.0 - yesterday just under maintenance calories, 10K steps and a "mini" strength workout. 1AM, couldn't sleep and caved with some sugar hoping it would knock me out, but it did not. So that is an awesome learn.
Extended my goal to the rest of this round without sugary treat foods. Just to be clear: not doing keto, don't consider myself addicted to sugar, and I try not to have any morality surrounding my use or disuse of C6-H12-O6. We all do this different and THAT IS OKAY. We all use whatever words we need to, to get our own attention and stick with whatever plan we make. I psychologically associate sweet with comfort and soothing, so right now I am experimenting with other coping strategies as part of my ongoing commitment to mindfulness and maintenance.
Thanks for listening and carry on with YOUR plan, loves!
7/1 - 126.0 - TMI alert: if not prunes, then kale. For serious. LOL. Under maintenance yesterday, super hot day, about 8K steps and that was all.
7/2 - 125.4 - this is a new low and likely dehydration, though some of the recent shift is real. Yesterday under maintenance calories, walked a little then ran 2 miles in the "cool" of the evening.
"Under maintenance" means under my (self-determined, based on sedentary) maintenance number PLUS my fitbit allowance, which I routinely eat back most of.

@quiltingjaine, All the moisture in the air is killer, but it is somewhat of a buffer from the sun's heat on your skin. We have had days (not this year!) when the temp is only about 80-85 and humidity very low and the sun is really intense. Either way, I prefer crisp, cold weather.3

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.
6/30 = 190.0 (+0.6), BF% = 15.2. Sorry for the late post. I controlled myself pretty well at the bar. Two drinks, stuck with Keto-friendly foods. Basketball happened today, but I'll talk about that tomorrow!
7/01 = 190.8 (+0.8), BF% = 15.2. Basketball was decent, but I hurt my knee a bit. I'll stay off of it until next Saturday. I did "pretty well" at the bar, but I had a couple of drinks, which likely dehydrated me a bit and left me with a weight that is likely under-reporting (I should be heavier, based off my eating). I ate Keto-friendly, but I am finding it hard to portion-control when I'm out and about at a place I really love. I almost go into it purposely not thinking about portion-control, when I could EASILY plan out what I'm going to eat (based off of familiarity with the menu). I'm writing this on Monday morning; if you read this, you'll recognized that I didn't learn any lessons from THIS post (because I'm about to write the other one right now.
7/02 = 193.8 (I think) (+3.0). I went to this "thing" last night in the LA area; it was basically a "fair" without any of the rides/games/animals. It was all food, like 100 different booths/trucks. It was insane, and it was all food, all day. I did my best to stick with Keto-friendly things for the most part, but volume of food was a definite issue. I'm sure I didn't eat 3 lbs worth of food (for my lovely weight gain), but I had a moment of weakness with the sweets. Going to this place was a really bad idea, particularly at this stage in my "recovery" from sugar. I'm going to see if I can get RIGHT BACK ON TRACK today, rather than creating another two-week relapse like I had very recently. See previous post for insights I SHOULD have had already. Cut-to-the-chase, when I'm going out to a favorite restaurant, I need to think about portion-control BEFORE I step foot in the place. I'm allowing myself to over-eat, even if I'm generally sticking pretty well with Keto-friendly foods (minus my 10-minute lapse at the food-fair).

Heat index of 110 and I'm out running, uh, slow strolling errands. Sweating
and :drinker: drinking water.
@puddlegoober, they call them food truck festivals here in Maryland D.C. area. Stay away in the future. Everything offered to get fat on. My oldest son goes to them sometimes. I was horrified that he told his 4 yr old daughter that he was going to take her to one.2 -
@tiabirdie56, love "slow strolling" errands. Ha!2

@puttyputty, Yes Lol. That's going to be the mode of on foot transport this week. Any faster you're drenched in sweat. The sad thing I'm seeing today is DPW employees out working in this heat.2

6/29- 236.2 up .2, not sure why. Under calorie goals and 30 mins on my exercise bike. Oh well. Maybe not enough water.
6/30- 238.0 was my "cheat day" which only means it was mine and my husbands date date and we went to chinese. Stayed below my calorie goal and exercised for 30 mins. Lots of sodium tho and I know I didnt drink much water so I'm not going to freak out.
7/01 236.4 it's coming off! Drank tons of water yesterday and am again today to get that fluid off. Did 1 and 1/2 hours on my exercise bike.
7/02 240 ugh. I did bad yesterday. A lot of sodium again too. 50mins on the exercise bike so at least I exercised. Oh and an hour swimming.
