Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 Today’s weight: 192.4 going out of town today so tomorrow’s weight is not going to be good. Started this challenge with a 1.5 mile walk after dinner and a total of over 9000 steps for the day. Ate fairly healthy though my carbs were a bit over. Calories were good.
6/28 Today’s weight: 194.6 I knew this would happen. Restaurants are my weakness for sure! So much better to eat at home when you can!
6/29 Today’s weight: 192.4 Walked 10,332 steps yesterday. Followed my keto low carb diet very well. Restrained from the late night bingeing, but it was difficult. Used 2 squares of 90% cacao chocolate as my compromise. Bitter but better than nothing. Logged well. Drank my water, vinegar and tea. My blood sugar numbers were fantastic so my body probably loves me right now. I am proud I made it through another day successfully and that the scale reflected my sacrifices.
6/30 Today’s weight: 191.4. Walked 11,005 steps yesterday including work and home. Intermittent fasted for 16:8. No actual exercise or intended walk yesterday due to extreme weather so I am pleased with the scale. I followed my diet without any trouble and reached most of my macros though I was a smidgen low on protein. It’s going to be 100 degrees here in Northern Michigan today which is uncharacteristic of my area. We do not even have air conditioning so wish me well!
7/01 193.8 Went off course on diet yesterday due to heat. High sodium restaurant carry out since it was too hot to cook or even grill outside. Tons of water due to heat/thirst. I hope this will prove to be mainly water weight. Another hot day coming but I am hoping to do better today with meal planning. I got in 10,762 steps yesterday around the house working. I intermittent fasted 16:8. But otherwise, I pretty much blew it. More self-sabotage in the eating dept. and lots of water which is going nowhere with what I ate. I will be working hard on all this today despite more high 90’s degree weather expected.
7/02 194.6 My son’s birthday so what can I say? I intermittent fasted 16:8. I walked over 13,000 steps. I drank the water, the vinegar and the tea. But my diet was lousy. Binge, Binge. In the evening I came to my senses and started being very careful and I put in the walking. I hope tomorrow will be better.
7/03 191.6 whoosh! Yesssss….. I'm all over the place here but that's to be expected with this heat and water intake. I walked 13,583 steps yesterday walking 5.75 miles including a brisk 50 minute walk for exercise. Intermittent fasted 16:8. Lots of water again. Followed diet pretty carefully. I did have some chocolate at night during a binge attack but I tried to keep it reasonable. I don’t know why I’ve suddenly lost my willpower but I’m working on it. Just glad to see some of that water I’ve been drinking ( because of the heat ) finally release. Ah… There’s hope afterall for this challenge!
7/04 191.8 but a holiday BBQ is coming and I can feel the bloat already! I walked over 10,000 steps yesterday including my brisk 1.5 mile walk in the evening. Clung very well to my diet with little temptation. I was just too hungry to intermittent fast, but otherwise, yesterday was a good day. I know today will not be as sure as I know that I am human. Happy 4th Everyone !!!!

Round 45 Goal: 163 lbs
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.
7/03 Weight = 164.0 SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!! Good-bye 165's and may I NEVER see you again! Although, this could just be a water weight loss due to all the buckets of sweat that I sweated yesterday in an un-air conditioned house. I completed my day 15 workout at 7 pm in my living room when the temp had finally dropped to about 90 degrees, because who doesn't want to do an intense Tabata workout in a sauna and then immediately went into the even hotter kitchen and cooked dinner, which was a stir-fry, so I had to stand over a hot stove for 15 minutes...madness! Hopefully the loss will stick around, but if it bumps up a little no worries, I 'll get there. My new scale has all these bells and whistles and one is showing body fat percentage and muscle mass. Not sure if these are accurate or not but the body fat number has gone down and the muscle mass is going up. Tomorrow is measurement day, excited to see what if any proof that actual changes are going on.
7/04 Weight = 165.8, so that number is back again. No reason for it except the universe is enjoying messing with me. I ate under calories yesterday, hit my macros, lots of water, went for a run, completed day 16 of my exercise challenge which was an active recovery day with just full body stretches. I did my measurements today and they are definitely smaller across the board then 10 days ago when I was also 165.8, so at least there's that. Just going to ride this out...

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27:158.6 The day was fine, the night time was not. Snacking while watching tv is not good.
6/28:159 Didn't eat much today, hard to when the weather is 115 degrees. Did have 3.5 beers last night but I still managed to stay under my calories. I would not, however, recommend skipping food to have a drink. I am paying for it today, and for a lack of water intake, with a good ole headache, ugh. Tomorrow I want to get more water in.
6/29: 157.1 My daughter has a gymnastics competition today. Instead of counting on eating out and just blowing everything, I have planned a meal and am going to pack a cooler and take it with me. The kids and hubby can then get what they want and I will still stay on track! I am going to do this is time.
6/30: 157.7 So, I didn't manage to avoid the McDonalds last night. My daughters competition finished later than expected and by the time we were headed to eat I was STARVING and had no will power at all. I also had three beers with my husband!! But, I managed to only go 400 calories over, so it wasn't the end of the world.
7/01: 157.7Another not great day. I have realized that I am an all or nothing kind of girl when it comes to alcohol. I think I am just going to have to avoid it for a while if I want to get anywhere with weight loss. Spent today recovering from a hangover and ended up with fast food again and then just eating whatever sounded good.
7/02 157.7 Still not a good day, but I will make tomorrow better.
7/03 157.7 Much better day. Went over calories by 100 but I am ok with that. Had a bit of alcohol again today, which is something that needs to stop right now. Time to get on the dry wagon again. Did my first day of P90x3 and actually really enjoyed it. It was tough but not so tough I couldn't do it. Much better than the times I have tried insanity. While I love Shaun, his workouts are too focused on cardio and not enough on strength.
7/04: 157.3 Already liking this day. Day 2 of P90x3 is on the cards for today. <-- This didn't end up happening and the day turned to not very good. I was tired and grumpy and not in the mood. We ordered pizza and wings, then I had snacks and wine while watching tv. All in all a pretty pathetic day.
7/05 157.7 Paying for yesterday..

Ooof! OK, I've had a fair amount of peanut butter in the last several days, but not like 7,000 calories worth! In fact, I've technically been within my calories all week except Monday.

Not to give TMI, but fiber does a body good, makes quite a difference.
7/01: 148.5

Just hanging in there, logging everything but not doing great on nutrition, calories, water, or exercise. I mean, I've been worse but I've been doing this for 11 months now (this time) and I'm losing momentum.

4/7 157lbs Did all the right things yesterday, perhaps I will see the rewards tomorrow.
5/7 156lbs after looking at what I ate on 2/7 & 3/7 I had frozen low calorie meals for lunch and they were very high on sodium. So it was most likely water retention.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: 176.6 Almost back to the point where I went off the rails.
6/28: 176.2 Not much urge to overeat in this heat.
6/29: 175.2 Might actually make my month-end goal after all.
6/30: 174.6 Drank loads of water yesterday. It's much easier to fit in at this time of year.
7/01: 173.6 Perfectly on plan all week; now I just need to not mess up at the last minute.
7/02: 174.2 I've had a great whoosh so I can live with this bounce back.
7/03: 174.6 Still bouncing back a little and it's still okay.
7/04: 173.2 Just .2 off a 30lb loss. I'll be really happy to pass that milestone.
7/05: 174.6 This round has been a real roller coaster. I've been perfectly on plan so I blame the heat.

Man! This last 12 lbs is hard to shift! This process is not a quick fix. Sometimes motivation flags, but to get/remain fit and healthy requires an permanent lifestyle change. Going back to old habits will produce the same result as before, and I'm not prepared to waste all the work I have put in over the last 3+ years to get fit and healthy. Butt kicking is in order.

REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
- THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time and effort!11 -
Finally got a good nights sleep (yaaaaas)
SW: 71.9kg
GW: 70.9kg
UGW: 62kg
Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: 71.9kg - Started off with a much larger breakfast than I'm used to so didn't have barely any calories left over for dinner, but dinner turned out to be less calories than expected so I only went over by a small amount
6/28: 71.9kg - Really good day generally, excluding when I got home from work and mindlessly found myself with a spoon in the nutella jar (this is the reason I don't normally have it in the house!)
6/29: 71.4kg - Very happy with myself for yesterday. Changed dinner plans and had a BBQ instead. Instead of eating all of the things, I forwent the burger and bun option and went for just the chicken, steak, and corn and was more than happy. And my OH bought custard slices which is my kryptonite. I checked the calories before cooking, and gave myself slightly more than I was going to have so it put me about 200kcals over my goal for the day (I have flexible goals, so this is just about acceptable considering my week) and I worked out what I could have still in that number. I have a problem with custard slices, which means I always eat both in the packet, but I only had one yesterday, and I was happy with it. And the meal completely killed my craving for takeaway I normally get at the end of the week (I can fit it into my calories) so I'm probably doing better for it than if I stuck with my original plan
6/30: 70.8 - Fairly sure I'm a little dehydrated this morning which is why I've had another big drop, completely expecting a rise tomorrow. Was completely killed at judo yesterday. Hot weather combined with the fact I'm still recovering from illness made it a tough one certainly. Really happy with how I ate though, and I got that second custard slice I saved from the previous day and was still within my allowance.
7/01: 71.2 - And there's that jump back up. Not as awful as I was expecting, fingers crossed its not going to continue tomorrow. Ate really well and was well under. And then we went to a friends in the evening. And I ate so much popcorn (planned), crisps and cookies (definitely not planned) well over goal and surprised at how little self control I've got in those situations. Must do better!
7/02: 70.5 - Yesterday was really good eating wise, so please to see the scales down. Mostly because I was detracted all day and so didn't get that hungry. Had my main meal at lunch as opposed to dinner, so probably had less actual food in my body this morning which might account for the drop. We'll find out tomorrow, hoping it'll stay under 71, but we'll see. Barely moved from my computer chair though.
7/03: 70.8 - Come on I deserved better than that! Yesterday was a great day. Yes I know what I said that I kinda expected a smallish rise, but I actually ate under my bottom goal and did an hour and a half of Judo! Might just be water retention (I hope). At least I'm pretty sure that I've made my GW for this round.
7/04: 70.8 - I feel like yesterday was a big failure. It wasn't, but I'm beating myself up over it. I was 70kcals over my upper calorie goal, which isn't great, but I was still over 200kcal under maintenance at GW (above which I class as a bad day). It came from a dessert that I could've had a healthier choice, it was much lighter than I would've previously made before I started losing weight. And I did really enjoy it, so I'm slightly conflicted. It wasn't a bad dessert per say(in terms of calories), just not the best choice I could've made. I dunno, I've been feeling really hungry the last couple of days, and I know I've been doing well besides it, so it's probably more of a response to that, as opposed to the fact I was over goals.
7/05: 70.2 - Mmmk, wasn't expecting that one. Didn't have time to make breakfast or lunch yesterday, so ran out and grabbed some food from the super market. For breakfast I had a pain au chocolate. Damn it was good, but wasn't exactly good on the calorie balance. At least, not compared to my normal breakfast anyway. However, did keep me full until lunch, which was a surprise to me. Especially as I had a stressful morning and normally get hungry around 11. Maybe I should have pastries more often . Anyhoos, lunch was bigger than normal, although I did pick the sandwich without butter (not worth the calories imo) but I misread the label on the cereal yogurt, so turned out to be less of a good choice as I thought it was. Clawed back my calories on dinner and kept myself under my upper goal. A definite win for me as I really didn't feel like cooking and the appeal of a takeaway was much larger than normal. Was thirsty this morning, so might've been a bit dehydrated, might explain some of the 0.6kg drop.

Round 45 aims - this is an uninterrupted 10 days ahead before we are away again so really looking to make the most of it - definitely planning to be under 140lb, and hopefully heading towards 138lb.......
6/27 - 139.90lb - down 1.2lb - yay! That will do for day 1 and I'm back under the magic 140 - now to make it stick and carry on down... Out of routine today though as off work so need to make an extra effort to keep drinking the water.....
6/28 - 138.70lb - 1.2lb down again today - totally due to losing excess water and carbs from the weekend away. This is good as proves to me that the weight on the scale is so dependant on what we have put in our bodies the days before (macros wise rather than calories) and the scale is not a true reflection of our weight - daily variations can be huge! Also makes me feel better that being back down to this weight means that although the scales told me I had put weight on, I have actually been behaving pretty well so want to make this stick - although expect a slight gain tomorrow as tonight is a carb heavier home-made burger-night dinner post gym workout. Feeling very positive about this round and really want to try and make this stick (including over the upcoming weekend!)
6/29 - 138.0 - another 0.70lb down - more of the "whoosh" - Love a good whoosh Been a normal week so been able to be totally in control for a change. I find drinking water in the week easy - bottle permanently in the car and on my desk at work - need to try harder at weekends - get too distracted doing stuff and forget! This was actually my goal for the round so now aiming to get through the weekend without the usual Monday morning gain and carry on losing a bit more before next Friday - reset my round 45 goal to 137.50.
6/30 - 137.20lb down another 0.8lb and the whoosh continues. Although in reality think this is really a result of the last few weeks as I have been consistent but just weighing at the "wrong" time as I haven't been weighing every day. Its the weekend and so far so good though .... Also surpassed my revised end of goal target - so final revision is 137.0 and to make it stick!
7/01 - 137.70 - slightly up from yesterday but ok with this as still down from Friday weigh in. Yesterday was a very late weigh in as actually didn't have to set the alarm for once. Slightly under calories too yesterday. Planned day today means I should be in calories for the day but dinner will be later than normal and being Sunday it will be a roast with dessert - all in calories but heavier dinner than usual. So if weight is up slightly tomorrow I wont be concerned as know I'm still on track Happy Sunday everyone xx
7/02 - 137.00 - not only down since yesterday but (huge happy dance alert!!!))) I actually weigh less on a Monday morning than I did on Friday - 1lb down! I was focused but I also accredit this to our builders starting our extension today so we have spent the weekend demolishing the old garage with a sledge hammer, lugging all the blocks and bricks to the skip and moving a pile of 1,000+ roof tiles to the end of garden out the way!! Was fairly hot here in the UK too over the weekend so drank so much water - but it does just go to prove that losing weight over a weekend is possible (albeit going to extreme measure with a sledge hammer ). Now to keep it off! Heres to a good week one and all ......
7/03 - 136.90 - 0.10lb - a tiny drop but guess after the weight I've dropped the last 5/6 days it cant keep coming off at that rate - shame! But very happy still as my main aim for the rest of this round is to keep it off and steady at around 137.00 so its all good. England play tonight in the World Cup but still going to go to the gym and watch the first half there. Sons wedding in 3 weeks and holiday in just under 5 weeks - #Feeling motivated
7/04 - 136.60 down another 0.30lb. If only all rounds were like this - I have really focused on my food and exercise this round and just proves what giving myself 10 days can do Was slightly under calories yesterday and went to the gym for an hour and feeling really good at the minute - still on target to maintain around 137 by the end of the round.
7/05 - 137.00 so back up slightly but not bothered given my loss this round! However it is a bit strange as yesterday I was actually way Way WAY under calorie allowance (only made 700 calories!) - I was off work and such a busy day so didn't get round to eating my usual 3 meals - only had a quick lunch and then dinner with no snacks or maybe I didn't drink enough water ? Thought this is around the calories you would eat for a "fasting" day on 5:2 style diets - interesting to see what happens tomorrow on the scale as today is a normal work and food day and gym for an hour. Heading away again tomorrow morning for another cheer weekend (last one of the season!) which also coincides with the England Quarter Final World Cup Game and my birthday - these events are sent to try us eh ?
