Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 - 156 - Wow, after all my whining last round, my weight suddenly seems to be moving in the right direction. I have a feeling this won't stick, but it sure is nice to see this number. I haven't seen this weight since 2001.
8/17 - 156.5 - Not too bad of a bounce back. I didn't get all my water in yesterday, so I'll be chugging it today.
8/18 - 156 - OK!

In for my 7th Round!

Round 44 End Weight = 165.8 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)
Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 47 End Weight = 157.2 (2.4 lbs lost)
Round 48 End Weight = 155.2 (2.0 lbs lost)
Round 49 End Weight = 151.2 (4.0 lbs lost)

Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)

Round 50 Goal: to be out of the 150's and into the 140's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in weeks 5-6 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/day
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.

8/16 = 151.2 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday was a rest day in my 90 day challenge, so I just went for a short run. I ate okay but still low on my calories, I need to get to the grocery store and do some meal prep! I'm missing my daughter, who is still away, but I'm very proud of myself that I have been able to enjoy this alone time and not worry about her like I was afraid I would. It helps that I'm getting daily pictures of her doing fun things and she has a happy, relaxed smile in each one. Today, I've got my day 28 workout to do & I want to get in a short run as well and then lots of house cleaning & laundry to do. I wish everyone a great start to round 50, this is a great challenge to be a part of! "What you do today, can improve all your tomorrows."

8/17 = 151.2 (no change from yesterday) 3rd day in a row at this weight, but I had a big loss last round, so a bit of a slow down is to be expected. I completed the 1st month of my 90 day challenge yesterday and am scheduled to start the 2nd month today but my body is rebelling. It's giving me all the nopes in regards to working out today. I'm going to take today and tomorrow off and start the 2nd month exercises on Sunday. My fitness group that I am a part of has a saying...."all or something", so I am allowing myself to listen to my body and pick this up next week. Have a great weekend everyone!

8/18 = 151.5 (up .3 from yesterday) I spent last night at my sister's & I didn't have my scale with me this morning, so I used hers, so this may or may not be a real "gain". There is no reason for it, so it doesn't bother me. Today was my 2nd rest day and I was still not feeling 100% when I woke up. I finally went to the grocery store and I'm prepped to have my nutrition back on point tomorrow when I re-start up again with my workouts. I'm feeling better after dinner tonight of beef tenderloin, broccoli, and rice, thinking maybe my iron was low. I'm going to start back up with multi-vitamins this week, I've gotten out of the habit and need to better with this.

Day/Weight/Comment

16/08: 210.0 lbs … hotel scales. So it seems I’ve put on a bit during the road trip
17/08: 208.4 lbs … last morning at the hotel … final leg this afternoon.
18/08: 207.8 lbs … first weigh in back home → not a disaster! Overall gain of 2 lbs in 2 weeks
19/08: 207.2 lbs … getting better … Keep going DOWN please!
20/08: *want to see a downward trend*
21/08:
22/08:
23/08:
24/08:
25/08:


Looking for a general downward trend. Really focused on my logging, and on clean eating, and MOVING more - which is what I love - it gives me ENERGY!

I am SO SO determined!! I 100% NEED to stay mindful about my daily logging and being mindful about what I eat and drink. I need to get into the HEALTHY BMI band.

This is a long term thing, a few bad days or weeks is something I'm getting better at coping with.

8/16 - 144.4 - 1123 - 10-day ave 1166
Still hurting, but I'm excited to see the doctor in integrative medicine this morning and, hopefully, get a non-prednisone handle on this pain. Happy to be below 145 to start this round!

8/17 - 143 - 966 - 10-day ave 1151
I was stunned to see this number this morning! It's the lowest I've been in probably 3 decades (though I was just slightly more 2 years ago, before I did a metabolism reset). I don't know that it will stick -- my calories were artificially low yesterday as I had to fast 12 hours for early morning blood work -- but still!!! It's a rainy Friday here, but I'm hurting slightly less and feeling much more hopeful after seeing the integrative doctor yesterday. I'm hoping to work on my home (only!) office today and then shop for a standing (adjustable) desk -- I'm finally feeling like getting back to work on my next book. Have a lovely weekend, all!

8/18 - 143.2 - 1435 - 10-day ave 1168
Happy Saturday! The first flower is blooming on my new climbing rose - I'll take that as a happy omen. And although my stated goal for this round is to maintain, with any loss a bonus, I'm secretly hoping to hit 142 by the end. But I am adding some calories - I've been a bit too low. Macros have been good, though.

8/19 - 143.2 - 1189 - 10-day ave 1185
Looking forward to a beautiful Sunday. I hope yours is lovely!

8/16 This morning 137 pounds. Concert last night. My food was over my macros. Gym tonight.

8/17 - 136 pounds. Ran an hour last night. Food was on point except for late-night snack.

8/18 -133 pounds. Part of this is dehydration. Outdoor concert in the heat last night and a 40 min run this morning. I expect to see a bit of a rebound gain in the next few days.

8/19 - 133 pounds. No gym today. Relaxing and resting.

•8/16 - 187 - WOW. I haven't retained fluid like this for a while.
•8/17 - 185 - Okay, it's ON fluid retention. Drank my ACV & lemon water this morning and will be increasing my water consumption to 100+ ozs daily. I'll be drinking a cup of parsley tea later and will continue doing that every day until I don't feel like spongebarb any longer. And SLEEP! That's what my weight increase and this drop is from, not enough and a recoup. Getting there, still retaining. I also need to revise my food diary today. Acceptable foods that cause me no problems, but I need to not eat them at this time.
•8/18 - 185.6 - It's going to be a battle. I'm ready.

•8/19 - 185.8 - OOoooo I had a feeling that once I reached 186 I would plateau. I looked 2 rounds back, I never touched on 186. My body is such a tease. And yeah, still retaining fluid. Well, since I can't seem to break away from these 185 increments, I may as well update my MFP progress to this minus point 8 lb

8/16 72kg - almost within cals yesterday, walked 12k steps, but no other exercise. Skipped my run this morning as I needed the extra hour in bed after a bad night. Work takes priority this week before holidays
8/17 - 71 whoosh! It could be 70.5, but I don't want to get overly excited yet. Within cals yesterday, walked 11k steps and went for a short run this morning, only 20mins as per my 5-10k plan.
I had been planning to only eat back half my exercise cals back, but I struggle with that.
8/18 71kg despite some self sabotaging emotional eating yesterday. I ended up not logging.
Today is a travel day, only a short flight, but the whole trip still takes about 5hours and then sister's birthday party
8/19 holiday back home til 26th - 72kg on parent's digital scale. I'm not going to log food this week and just be mindful where possible. I will over eat, I know that and that's ok. I really want this holiday to be not stressful - logging unknown / never-logged / homemade foods would stress me.
I had a lovely time last night with lots of snacks and some drinks, bu managed to go for my run today and will make more of an effort to get my 10k steps in. Moving to earn more cals is my strategy while here.
