My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.

My daily weight is on my home scale, so I can monitor how my week is going.

My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/17 - 148.6 - I wasn't feeling very well at the end of last round and just starting to feel better today so my weight might be off for a few days until I'm eating normally again. Would love this number to stick around right through the next 10 days though.

7/18 - 150.0 - Not worried about the weight increase, I'm still in a downward trend but feeling just an overall "blah" with life in general right now. Need to find a way to get out of this weird funk I'm in.

7/19 - 148.8 - I guess I'm back here again, alright. Maybe it'll stay this time.

7/17: 333.0 (Corrected typo from yesterday)
7/18: 331.2
7/19: 327.6 Well, I never expected that to happen. Incredibly surprised! Did well on my breakfast and lunch,
dinner not so much. I was so mentally and physically tired that I stopped at Wendy's on the way
home. Knew it was the wrong thing to do. I do this all the time--too tired to fix a meal so I stop for
fast food. This is where my trouble always starts. So, now that I have identified my major problem, I
have to work on the solution. After some research last night, I think meal prep on the weekend for the work
week will do wonders for me. I don't have to worry about "what to do" for dinner after a stressful day
at work. I can just come home and pop it in the oven/microwave and there I go! I will say the one
thing that is working for me is drinking water. It has gotten a lot easier to drink so much of it as
long as I put some limes in it.

7/20: 327.6 Well, no loss but I’ll take it. Did have pasta for dinner and I love my pasta! Need to work on portion size though.

SheilaBoneham · July 2018

Change of plans for this round...I've decided to stop worrying about these last 8-13 pounds and focus on eating healthfully most of the time at or just below maintenance, getting a variety of exercise, and generally making the most of the summer. As long as I don't gain, everything is fine. If I lose a little, all the better. I also aim to reboot my daily meditation practice, which I used to do faithfully. It's all part of the picture.

Goals:
Food ~~ 1430 calories max; P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 25-35%; mostly clean & healthful
Exercise: 60 minutes/day of walking/swimming + yoga/stretch class 3X/week
Weight ~~ maintain or lose slowly.

Day/Moving Ave Weight/Calories Day Before/10-day calorie ave/Exercise/Comment

7/17 - 148.4 - 1495 - 10-day ave 1422 - 30-min walk-run intervals
I've been driving myself crazy about not losing despite cutting back to the point of going hungry, so I've changed my goals a bit. I'll be aiming for my sedentary maintenance calories (1430) plus up to half of what I earn in exercise -- happily, I'm finally back to daily walks/swimming and I'm looking at bikes. Now to resume weight training.... I've also changed my weight goal to 140, which will put me in the "normal" BMI range. I may eventually want to lose another 5-10, but I need to stop obsessing about that.

7/18 - 148.5 - 1401 - 10-day ave 1423 - 90-min slow zoo walk
Good day yesterday, although I had a bit more sodium than usual (and my actual weight went up). Last evening we went to the zoo and walked around the Indonesian Rain Forest exhibit for about 90 minutes, which was wonderful.

7/19 - 148.4 - 1345 - 10-day ave 1403
My iPad seems to have died

so I'm guessing at my moving average, but my actual weight came back down, so this is close. Beautiful weather still, so I'm looking forward to a nice long walk. I'm feeling much less stressed about weight since I decided maintaining is fine!

7/20 - 148.4 - 1343 - 10-day ave 1383
I'm still guessing at my moving average, but my actual weight is holding steady, so this is close. All good. Rainy day today (which is good!) so I'll do my walking indoors at the Y. For the past few days I've been waking up with serious neck and lower back pain - no idea what happened all of a sudden, but I'm no a happy camper. I'm hoping to see a chiropractor today or Monday. Who has time for this nonsense??? Anyway, happy Friday, all.

7/17- 228.2 Yay! I thought for sure that I would have a bump today. I guess walking all day countered the two eating out meals today. I’m seeing a trend where my beginning and end rounds are great (barring poor food choices and/or not enough water). Bumps tend to be towards the middle of the round. Learning lots about myself.
7/18- 227.4 Beyond stoked!
7/19- 226.8 Sixth consecutive day logging a loss. Doing very well this round. Not doing anything differently than last round so I don’t know why that is but I will take it.
7/20- 226.4 Fully anticipated a bump given I was snacking a bit here and there yesterday. Also seemed extra thirsty this morning. May see it catch up to me in the coming days and I’m okay with that.

Water first before eating?

I’ve been working on mindfulness in this whole process and am using Beachbody’s 2B Mindset approach - water first, veggies most, track everything, weigh daily for feedback. They do promote drinking water first before eating - it fills you up. I also do water first before Diet Coke 😜 and alternate.

•7/17- 190.6 - Expected. All of my food yesterday was eaten in one hour last night. I was not doing OMAD, just didn't eat all day. This is a week about others and not me. Helping DIL with decorating for Granddaughter's 5th B'day party. That means I'm crafting decorations until 12m - 1am nightly. Yesterday and today helping my niece, who is like a daughter to me, set up her kitchen in her new house.
Next week I'm sure I'll be helping her with some other things as she and her family settle in. 45g carbs, 36g net carbs. Cauliflower and cheddar cheese soup, 2 cups!, salad greens, strawberries with almond butter and whipped cream, again.
•7/18 -190.2 - Early weigh in. Tired. Retaining fluid. Much to do for this b'day party, so full court press is on. 40g carbs, 32g net carbs. Peanut butter, salad, spinach, celery & apple in chicken salad. Too much coffee yesterday. 😵 I want coffee now. 😂
•7/19 - 190.2 at 8:30am. 191.8 at 5:30am. Retaining fluid. 42g carbs, 26g net carbs. Lettuce, whole roma tomato, jalapeno slices, low carb flatbread, peanut butter.

•7/20 190 - Early weigh in. Surprised it's not more, since I had only 5 hours of broken sleep. Active mind, don't want to forget to take any decoration elements for DGD's party. Saturday at 2pm it will all be over.
44g carbs, 34g net carbs. Salad, pistachios and peanut butter. Pistachios are VERY CARBY.

7/17--177.2 Going back down. It was sooo hard to lose these few pounds, apparently I wanted to do it all over again

They came back on over a few days of getting off track, so hopefully they will go away just as quickly. Fingers crossed!
7/18--176.0 Keep it going...
7/19--175.0 Excellent! I'm happy to know that a handful of bad days isn't going to totally wreck my progress, it's just taking me the same amount of days to recover, and that's okay. Today might be hard; I barely slept last night. I just have a lot of things on my mind coupled with going to bed hungry. I don't make a habit of this but darn it, I was already over my calories and stubbornly didn't want to eat more, so I went to bed. Well, I was hungry all night and I am sooo hungry this morning! Hopefully a good dose of protein will do the trick. Pilates class tonight.

Posting only, not weighing in.

SW 06/22/2018: 106.2
Goal weight by 7/27: 103.8 # (or less )
Age: 47YO Female with Hypo.

7/17/2018: 104.6 - I can always tell when it's Tuesday because my weight is more in check. somehow I build momentum up on Friday late afternoon and keep it up for 4 days and then have treats.... SO, I've admitted and defined my cycle of eating. Now I need to make an improvement.

One thing I've been doing is listening to a podcast: primal potential (dot com) and I have a sign on my desk stating "to make tomorrow easier, WHAT do I need to do TODAY?" and I am reminding myself "My minimum needs are met. I am OKAY. I just need to make it through the next 5 minutes. I can make it 5 more minutes. I'm Okay. I am Safe. I am good. I love myself enough to take care of myself."

Day/Weight/Comment

7/18 - Not weighing in today. Took caliper measurements, on point. Took waist measurement - on point. So I'm happy. Leg day this morning. Felt really good. Hoping for a couple walks. Tracked my breakfast. Goal is to hit 1200cal for the day and stop.
7/19 - 103.6 I AM going to do what it takes to stay at this number. This means most likely that I will watch my food intake UBER closely the next several days. No nibbling/eating only at meals is helping a LOT.

7/20 - Thought to ponder today. What are you choosing? If you choose to eat this food or that food, what are you choosing NOT to have? If your choice is to have a slice of pizza or some orange chicken, then I am choosing to have a side of regret, or am I? How many bites could I have of the pizza and still be in bliss but not cross the line to say "I suck!, I shouldn't have had any!" I'm pondering, I wonder where my line is. Certainly there is a line where I can just say "that was great. I'm so glad I had it". I wonder where it is? Also, I am thinking, If I would choose the pizza, then I am also choosing to NOT pursue a lower weight for tomorrow. In actuality, by having that food, I know that I am choosing to deal with other food cravings, mental bashing and with thoughts of how can I be so out of control. However, if I choose a healthier food, like an apple or something, a protein smoothie perhaps. Then I am choosing to have a clearly focused mind that doesn't dwell the whole day on food and what I should/shouldn't eat. Today is a GREAT day, or NOT...the choice is YOURS!

07/10/2018: 104.0 - Convince myself NOT to eat!
07/06/2018: 105.0
June Notes: I had one day where I weighed in at 104.4.

Helpful thoughts:
+ When I go to bed, will I be stressing about this food?
+ CONVINCING myself that I'm happier, more joyful and feel amazing when I stick to my plan.
+ I feel thinner when I have an amazing day. I am NOT going to throw in the towel because today I have stuck to my menu SO far and, I know I can make it ALL the WAY today and have an AMAZINGLY healthy day! I am less bloated, mentally more happy and my MOOD is a TON better without the NEGATIVE energy on processed foods!
