Round 47 - SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5 lbs)
Round 48 - SW 152.5 EW 150 (-2.5 lbs)

5 '-1"

Round 49 goals: I'm going to stick with 10,000 steps per day and also focus on a small goal related to water consumption. Add 1 glass before I leave the house in the morning and 1 glass before I go to bed.

8/06 - 151. I was inactive and unfocused in my eating yesterday. There was lots of snacking. The first snack was delicious and satisfying. After that, it was just silly. On the bright side, I slept well last night and feel refreshed and on a good path today.
8/07 - 150. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and weights. Ate at the low end of my calorie range yesterday and couldn't seem to get enough to eat this morning. Something to think about in the future.
8/08 - 151. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and kettlebell squats and swings. I watched a bunch of videos to remind me of proper form for the swing. I'm not sure I got it just right, but swinging that weight around was pretty fun. My unstated goal of seeing the last of the 150s this round is looking more challenging than I would have thought, but nothing to do but keep at it!
8/09 - 151. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and weight lifting. Ate three real meals yesterday instead of snacking my way through at least one of them and met my protein goal for the first time in a while. I felt good about that and was expecting to see the scale move down a little this morning. Maybe tomorrow?
8/10 - 150 - 21,000 steps. Looking forward to a 20+ mile bike ride to a winery for a concert tonight. Hoping, hoping, hoping to see something lower than 150 on the scale this weekend.
8/11 - 150. Again. Got in that bike ride yesterday. I had carrots and hummus as a snack at the concert and was very surprised to find myself enjoying eating the carrots more than the pita chips. That’s definitely never happened before.

“Hey, but who’s counting!!
LOL
Slowly figuring out my goal weight as I step up exercise even more.
*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~*
Round 34 to Round 48: from 179 to 164 lbs
-15 lbs in 15 Rounds!

My 16th Round!!!
Round 49:
SW 164 BMI: 24.6 Trend wt: 164.4 Loss/wk: 0.6
*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~*~*
8/6 164 Trend wt: 164.2 Loss/wk: 0.7
NSV’s: no muscle soreness now at new level of steps!!! The skinny jeans (size 14) I bought a while back are now loose. Will use the washer/dryer on hotter settings this week! All measurements down another 1/2 inch. Bust, underbust, waist, bellybutton, lower abs, hips, right thigh ...
LOL Help! Help! I’m s-h-r-I-n-k-I-n-g!!!!! LOL
Genuinely curious what my final weight will be.

8/7 163.4 Lowest Weight so far in my journey!!! Trend wt: 163.8 Loss/wk: 0.7 BMI: 24.5
A big surprise for sure. Always seems as though when I’m not expecting it, my wt drops & when I desperately want it to, it maintains or bounces up. (Much cooler today which might account for drop.) We’ll see!
Beginning to actually feel thinner...

8/8 163.6 Trend Weight: 163.7!! Loss/wk: 0.6
BMI: 24.5!! Waist more defined- a miracle!!
Starting to think about new style for hair, eyeglasses, makeup, and what wardrobe I should create when I reach goal...before, this stresses me out- now, I’m looking forward to it!

8/9 164 Trend wt: 163.7 Loss/wk: 0.6 BMI: 24.6
Weight lifting and HIIT on Exercise Bike (both new to me seem to have bumped up my water retention. But I feel strong & lean!!
Decided to do HIIT on Ex Bike more often even though my step average drops- I could get heart rate higher & felt the muscles working!! It’s time!

8/10 163.6 Trend wt: 163.6 Loss/wk: 0.6 BMI: 24.5 My mind keeps telling me to eat only if I get hungry, but I know those signals don’t work well in my brain/body, so I’m continuing with my timing & sizes of meals. (I did try waiting yesterday & never got hungry but I got a light headache which I never get and felt tired, so I decided to eat.) My monkey brain is trying to fool me into eating whatever/whenever tempting me with “just eat when you’re hungry.” Not. Time. You. Trickster!

8/11 162.6 Trend Weight: 163.2 Loss/wk: 0.7
BMI= 24.4
Lowest Weight & BMI & Trend Wt in decades.

I’m sure it will bounce around, but I’m pleased as I’ve been cutting back calories & upping difficulty of exercise...such a mental game...all the wt seems to be moving towards my middle above belly button. I. Will. Not. Give. Up. This. Time.
Must return my focus to Health, not be fooled by Vanity.

8/05-191.2
8/06 - Monday - 192.8 - Late night emotional eating got me last night. Got a little overwhelmed by all the boxes and moving and change and just mindlessly snacked on anything I could get my hands on after dinner. Logged it all and moving on today. TOM still imminent. Chocolate cravings are slightly less thanks to magnesium lotion. But I'm pretty moody and letting my food choices get the better of me. Lots of water today! I did manage to make dinner for tonight while food prepping last night. It will also be lunch for tomorrow. I know I'm stressing because I woke up with a costochondroiditis flare up - aka feels like an elephant sitting on my chest. And my sciatica flared up yesterday but that is feeling better today. But man, stress really does manifest itself physically for me if I'm not mindful! Taking today and tomorrow relatively easy while we await more moving boxes to be delivered and final word on closing date. I'm really happy I feel physically fit enough to do the move ourselves - 4 months ago I would have laughed at the thought.

8/07 - Tuesday - 192.4 - Well yesterday was fun. Had a full blown anxiety attack in the car out of the blue. Tried some self soothing techniques in the car, but with my painful chest it got to the point I couldn't catch my breath and I was beyond help for about 5 minutes. It was not fun - thank goodness DH was driving. It's funny to me that I'm in a better head space than I have been in a long time but my body insisted on a meltdown. Took some kava tincture when I got home and it helped big time. Emotionally ate a PB&J. Feeling a bit better today. Closing is scheduled! Many stressful days ahead so I REALLY need to be mindful, kind to myself, and as prepared as I can be moving. Had protein shake, brought lunch and chicken defrosting for dinner - still heading in the direction of my dreams!

8/08 - Wednesday - 190.8 - The heat was brutal yesterday. We grilled chicken thighs for dinner but I just had no appetite - so we saved those for lunch today and had some snacks later in the evening when I was a little hungry. Thought about eating a meal just to eat a meal but I just couldnt stomach it so I had some calorie dense salami and cheese - calories were not bad at days end. I feel better today - good morning with protein shake, packed lunches, and I can cook something for dinner - pigs in a blanket probably. The next few weeks I am on a strict financial diet too. I've been practicing small habits over the past few months; no coffee drive thru except Sunday, no take out for lunch, and only one take out/week at most. I'm going to extend that to no clothes shopping for the next month (at least - trying to hold out for a whole new wardrobe come spring). I also want to stick to a strict(er) grocery budget - we typically spend $100/week for 2 people including all home products too (toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc) but I think I can realistically get it more towards $75 on the regular with some smarter shopping. I'm realizing that the next few weeks my priorities are going to shift to 1. mental health, 2. finances, and 3. Healthy eating. This is OKAY, this is GOOD, this is preparing! I've been so focused on the healthy eating and I've been lucky and privileged to be able to do so without much hinderance or distraction, and every opportunity to buy what I need to help me along. I will absolutely be continuing with my habits, but I'm trying to be realistic in what to expect in the next few months moving into a new house - being as on point as I have been will probably be hard, so I will NOT beat myself up over it. Trusting the process more than ever now and excited to build more healthy habits in all aspects of life.

8/09 - Thursday - 190.4 - Got a good amount done yesterday. I made a packing station with boxes and supplies, purged the pantry (of under used accessories - food purge will be another day), and DH did the back hall! Another car load of stuff to the dumpster/donation bin. I prelogged dinner - I was full about half way thru it but I just kept eating because "I had room in my calories." I finished eating and was like ugggh why did I eat all that - so that was a lesson is paying better attention to my hunger/full ques. Took some french apple sausage out of the freezer - no idea what to do with it - but dinner at home! I was originally thinking stuffed zucchini or other fresh veg - but don't have any of that! I'll figure it out. Leftovers from yesterdays lunch I didnt finish. Had protein shake for breakfast and woke up 20 minutes earlier - progress!

8/10 - Friday - 189.0 - Ahhhhhhhh!!! HELLO 180's! I'm sure I'll be bouncing back and forth from 190's for a bit longer but how exciting to see a new set of 10's! Went to the lake last night - had enough thought to eat a snack before I left. Ate pasta and salad up there. PB&J at home. Not a lot of headway on the house last night but the rest day was lovely. Didnt cook my french apple sausage last night but I look forward to this recipe this evening - https://iowagirleats.com/2013/10/14/sweet-apple-chicken-sausage-pasta/ . I really wanted to believe we had nothing to bring for lunch today so we needed to get a steak and cheese, but realized that is false and packed my quinoa cup and tuna

and reminded myself that I NEED to cook that meat tonight so no ordering out tonight either! Yay! Sticking to my food changes and financial changes!

8/11 - Saturday - 188.6 - that recipe last night was so good! And friends stopped over so I got to share it and not have 900 calorie per serving leftovers! Up early packing but had to be out of house for showings most of the afternoon. Ended up at a farmers market and ate a homemade cinnamon roll. Worth it. Stopped at the farm to get some meats and they had homemade bologna so fried bologna sandwiches for lunch. Also worth it. And an afternoon nap I'm also not feeling bad about hahaha. Aiming to get at least a dozen or so more boxes packed up tonight so that will be a good workout to add! Based on what we picked up the next week is more about convenience than nutrition but im all about simplicity this week so I'm going with it within reason.

Round 48: SW 257.4 EW 253.8 (-3.6)

Day/Weight/Comment
8/06 - 253.8...very surprised to still see this number, really thought I would have a gain. I had a horrible day yesterday, I don't think I drank any water and I ate my weight in sweets. I don't know why I did it, I was feeling so good about my drop and even had someone compliment me on my loss. I swear I'm trying to sabotage myself 🙁
8/07 - 253.8... had a good day yesterday! Stayed under calories, drank lots of water and did strength training and cardio at the gym
8/08 - 255.4...went over calories and ate a big meal late
8/09 - 255.4...yesterday I stayed under calories and did a walk. Wasn't able to get to the gym because my little gym had a bad night (I go after he's asleep). I didn't get enough water either, I had planned to drink more at the gym lol.
8/10 - 255.4...did everything wrong yesterday and was too tired to get to the gym. Have to get back on track today.
8/11 - ? Forgot to weigh in

I know it's not going to be good though. A friend I haven't seen in a year is spending the weekend and we've been eating everything! And I know there is no point of even trying to get back on track until after the weekend, I'll just disappoint myself.

Round 49 SW 224.4

8/6 / 225.4 / Goodness, I'm retaining water like crazy. But I'm eating well and it will all shake out in the end!

8/7 / 223.6 / That's better. As part of another challenge, I did cardio and jumping jacks and drank SO MUCH WATER yesterday. Note to self: Do not drink a lot of water and then do jumping jacks.

8/8 / 225.2 / That one is a bit of a surprise. Hmm. I am back to tight rings and retaining water. But I'm still eating well, still getting my butt moving. Jumping jacks, crunches, and water, along with something that will amuse people of around my age: I decided to dance yesterday as a workout so I learned how to do the Hustle! I was a line dance of ONE.

8/9 / 224.2 / Bouncy bouncy! Still eating well, still exercising. Jumping jacks, crunches, 3 miles walking, and water.

8/10 / 227 / Goodness gracious! Well, I am a broken record but... still eating well, still exercising. Crunches, a boxing workout, a krav maga workout, and more line dancing. Lots of water. I am a little sore across my shoulders, but in a good way. I'm in a great mental space and bouncing around the scale is something to talk about not something to panic about.

8/1 / 226.4 / Inching down after bouncing up. I don't predict an improvement tomorrow. I got a promotion and raise and we had a celebratory lunch today. Worth every bite.

8/06- 227.2 Yikes. Didn’t get to check in the last two days and late weigh in yesterday giving me a round end of 225.6. I thought that was bad enough given I was logging 223s. Today the weekend continues to catch up with me. I know I didn’t gain 1.6lbs overnight but it’s a hard pill to swallow. It’s messing with my head so much I even considered sitting out this round. I’m here though. Hopefully the water retention will work itself or the next two days.
8/07- 227.4 Boo! What is going on here??
8/08- 225.8 Scale finally moved in the correct direction but I’m beginning to make poor food choices. Need to dig myself out of this rut.
8/09- 224.6 Remember: Down is better than up.

8/06- Holiday weekend, just needed some rest, 2more treatments of radiation. Even my steps are down, going to pick up tomorrow.

8/07- picked up on my steps today, tried stretching. Eating healthy.

8/08- I thought this date would never come, today I finished my last day of Radiation. Thirty treatments completed. I was so lucky not one side effect. Now to focus on healthy eating and lots of exercise.

8/09- Today I made cauliflower soup for lunch, My neighbour has been great and gave me all different colours of tomatoes, and cucumbers.

8/10-Tonight I can start to cut my steroids in half, for a week. Hopefully this helps with sleeping and eating. Enjoyed the great weather this afternoon, and then my husband and I went to find a patio for dinner. Goal is to start working harder to achieve my weight loss.

R2: Lost 0.7 (SW 195.1 EW 194.4)
R3: Gained 3.7 (SW 194.4 EW 198.1)

R5: Lost 1.1 (SW 195.3 EW 194.2)

REALLY want to get to 190 this round. I'm just tired of hovering right above it. I've been doing so for forever. It's ridiculous. I need to realize that even if I get down to 190, I'm still obese. It shouldn't be this hard. It's not like some big accomplishment or feat. You're going from obese to still obese. Just do it.

SW: 194.2
GW: 190.0

Plan to reach this goal:
-Restricting eating out to only two times maximum in the next 10 days.
-Pre-plan the night before and make sure you have all of your ingredients at home and follow through.
-Workout at least 3 times a week (Goal of running at least 4.5 minutes straight at 6.5 mph)

Day/Weight/Comment
8/06- 194.8- My weight is fluctuating currently, I think it will be fine by the end of the week.
8/07- 195.2- Honestly, had heavy meals yesterday. Celebrated my friend's birthday with burgers and a dessert that we shared. Going to take it easy today. I will say that yesterday I didn't eat that much dessert so that's good. Going to eat lightly today so hopefully that helps with the upwards fluctuation.
8/08- 195.2- hmm. not sure what to say lol. was over my calories a little so that's the culprit, i know.
8/09- No weigh-in
8/10- Forgot to weigh-in in the morning. Mid-day got 196.8. UMMMM. lol freaked me out.
8/11-194.2- Much better lol. I'm happy this is going back down. I think the fluctuations may have been hormonal which is fine. Here's to making the most out of the last 5 days. I ate PRETTY healthy, like snacking on cherries and grapes right now and had a fruit smoothie with honey for breakfast although I did have top ramen noodles at lunch (not healthy at all lol) but still under my calories so hopefully tomorrows weigh-in will reflect that. FINGERS CROSSED.

Day/Weight/Comment

8/06 - 218.0 lbs - The weight isn't falling off like in the first round, I guess its exercise time.
8/07 - 217.0 lbs - Finally, after being stuck for several days. I never know what the scale will read these days.
8/08 - 216.2 lbs - This hot and humid weather makes me less hungry. A blessing in disguise.
8/09 - 215.8 lbs - I've been eating too much in the morning and skipping lunch. I need to balance meals.
8/10 - 216.8 lbs - Wife bought a loaf of crispy bread since store didn't have individual rolls. Recipe for disaster.
8/11 - 216.8 lbs - Went to a concert with wife, we always go to a pizza place before. I had half a turkey sandwich and a beer. I thought I might lose a little but nothing. At least I didn't flip out and eat 4 pieces of Pizza. I need two good days in a row here, I hate going backwards.
8/12 - 215.4 lbs - Now we're talking. I'm going to work hard and see if I can hit 214.0 by the end of this challenge.

8/06 - Away
8/07 - Away
8/08 - 187.1 - Not as bad as I expected honestly.
8/09 - 185.3 - I ate very low carb, but I need to drink more water today.
8/10 - 183.5 - I’m going to attempt to exercise today. I’ve really been lacking motivation since the end of July. I’m hoping to do a short run and to walk a couple of miles.
8/11 - 182.3 - I'm really happy with this number! It's the lowest I've been since March. I haven't been tracking but I have been eating LCHF. I also went for a walk yesterday. It was a slow walk due to the heat, but I'm happy I got out there. I'm going to try to get out there again today before the rain starts.
8/12 - 185 - I felt bloated when I woke up so I knew today’s weight wasn’t going to be good. I ate low carb yesterday but not much water and too much dairy. No regrets, that buffalo chicken dip was amazing! I am going to up the water and lower the diary today and see if that helps.

Round 4- still trying to break the curse of getting down from the 200's - so I'm changing the number - Aim for this round is 198.. fingers and toes are crossed
8/06 201lbs - down 1.5lbs from yesterday, so a good start :-)
8/07 201.5lbs - still happy with this
8/08 200lbs -excited and scared at the same time ..not sure where the scale might go next

8/09 200.5lbs - still excited - hopefully, a breakthrough is in sight

8/10 198.5lbs

- now to stay in onederland!!!
8/11 196.5 lbs

- very surprised at this number...but I'm not complaining :-)
8/12 199.5lbs .. a little disappointed with this figure, but still in onderland (just!) and to be expected as the weight did seem to be falling too rapidly. Hopefully, it will continue to drop off slowly but surely

So much for feeling better on the anti-inflammatory plan - today I'm hurting all over. But I'm sticking with it - I know it takes at least a few weeks for dietary changes to make a difference. I managed to work in my garden for a while yesterday, dead heading flowers & other smallish jobs. I'm going for a walk now, before it gets too hot. Walking does seem to help a little.

8/07 - 146.4 - 1112 - 10-day ave 1344
Eating mostly veggies with some fruit, fish, eggs, nuts. I slept a lot of yesterday, which did seem to help the pain a little. Today is rainy, so I guess I'll be walking indoors.

8/08 - 145.6 - 1268 - 10-day ave 1306
The good news is I'm losing weight on my anti-inflammatory diet. The bad news is I hurt all over. Got blood work back for array of auto-immune issues - all negative, thankfully, but something's going on. I keep pushing myself to walk, but mostly I don't feel like doing much. Whine.

8/09 - 146 - 1072 - 10-day ave 1265
Just wasn't hungry yesterday, but I'll push for more calories today. Never thought I'd say that!

8/10 - 145.2 - 1080 - 10-day ave 1248
Another lots-of-veggies not-very-hungry day with low calories. I'm off to see a rheumatologist this morning (and - more promising to me - an integrative medicine doctor next week) to try to get a handle on my pain, and afterward we're going to try a new-to-us vegan/vegetarian restaurant my hubby spotted. They have a very interesting menu and I plan to EAT. :-) I am happy about my downward weight trend, though, since cutting out bread and pasta and meat other than fish. Have a lovely weekend, all!

8/11 - 146.2 - 1009 - 10-day ave 1175
I never thought I'd say this, but I clearly need to eat more. I just haven't felt hungry beyond what I'm eating the past few days - lots of veggies, black beans, chick peas, fish, brown rice, fruit mostly. The up tick must be sodium from the very excellent vegan/vegetarian restaurant we tried yesterday, though the food didn't taste salty. Really delicious! I saw the rheumatologist yestetrday and he wants to put me on a short course of prednisone, and I'm extremely reluctant yet sorely tempted because of the pain I'm in. Appt. with integrative med doctor on Thursday, and I'm trying to suck it up until I see her. Maybe I can just take long walks (they loosen me up) and sleep until then? Pain sucks. I hope you're all feeling better than I am! (I'll stop whining soon.)

8/12 - 145.6 - 1187 - 10-day ave 1160
Well, my low calories explain my weight loss this round, but I need to eat a few more calories. I just haven't felt hungry after meals and snacks. I went for a lovely walk last evening along the river, which made my aches and pains feel a little better for a while, and otherwise had a lovely, laid-back Saturday. UU pitch-in today - I can't eat the goodies I'm taking, but someone will!
