Like the advice you gave to leafypoo. When I think about it - looking better is important to me but feeling better, being able to do things like hike and especially being mobile when I'm elderly is way more important. It's not just the mobility either. My mom had very high blood pressure because of her weight and it caused repeated TIA's so she lost all her memory. I know there are other things that can do that but in her case it was ultimately her weight that caused her problems.

My mother caused all her problems as well, she passed last April. I am still so very angry about that, and the buck stops here.

I’m joining in late, but better late than never!! I’m 34, and finally have my hypothyroid under control, so I’ve started making progress on my weight.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for two rounds. Round 53 was my 50 birthday celebrations that upped my weight for a few days.

I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/5 - 182.2 - Too many carbs yesterday, I did do a lot of working out too though so it shouldn't last too long.
10/6 - 182.0 - I am my own worse enemy I have got to learn to stop the high carbs!
10/7 - 182.2 I’m not surprised, this is a poor weekend to try to lose. Thanksgiving, gender reveal, company...
10/8 - 181.8 should be a But better day food wise today.
10/9 - 183.0 - Back at work today, I find it so much easier to control things at work and when I'm in my normal routine.
10/10 - 181.0 - Still feel "heavy" and like I've eaten too much. Hopefully this feeling goes away soon.
10/11 - 181.6 - Ugh
10/12- 180.4 - Finally heading down again. I don't think my average will be less this time either though
10/13 - 179.8 - Oh man, I hope I can stay in the 170's now. It's such a slow process for me this time losing, but hopefully that means it will last longer too!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/05: 248.2 - No change in weight today. I'm hoping to see more of a downward trend this round now that TOM has passed.

10/06: 248.6 - I ate late yesterday.

10/07: 247.4 - I like seeing the scale drop!

10/08: 247.4 - I ate one fast food meal yesterday and it used up all of my calories. I'm so glad I don't eat out much.

10/09: 250.4 - Damn scale lol! That's my fault. I worked out for an hour then ate late. I'll try not to eat so late today.

10/10: 250.4 - I hate water retention! I tried a new routine Monday and I'm still sore. I plan to do that routine again tonight and I hope I can make it through the whole thing. I've been eating too much junk food lately. It's that time of year and everyone has candy. I've been trying to resist but it's definitely a challenge. People snack all day at work and smelling fast food and takeout has my cravings going mad.

On a sadder note, my favorite aunt in-law passed away suddenly of a stroke and I'm devastated. She was so young and amazing. She was fighting lung cancer and had a good prognosis. We were all hoping for the best. One of her son's, who was a twin, just had twins of his own. She was so loved and needed. I can't believe she's gone.

10/11: 250 - still sore from working out. I need to drink more water and eat light so this water retention will ease up. I have a Fat2Fit weigh-in tomorrow and I'm hoping I can drop some of the water by then.

10/12: 248.2 - coming down slowly again. I'll try not to go crazy this weekend! TGIF!

10/13: 247.6 - I'm hoping I see a smaller number tomorrow but I'll be eating cake today so probably not lol!

Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)

Round 55 Goal: 140.0 or Under

Exercise Plan = Had to pause the Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge on Day 68 due to sprained ankle, still in recovery mode and just practicing yoga during this round to hopefully get back to my workout program by Round 56.
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.

10/5 = 142.0 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday, I was on my feet too much and felt it in my ankle by the end of the night, will try to stay off it more today and ice. I'm going to alternate yoga every other day for this round, trying to strengthen my ankle. This round I'll also focus more on my nutrition, which has been slacking. There has been more and more gluten making its way back into my food choices and I just feel better when I limit these types of foods. I'll tighten back up on my alcohol consumption as well, limiting to 1-2 times/week. "Tough times don't last; tough people do."

10/6 = 142.0 (no change from yesterday) Took yesterday as another rest day, ankle improving with the pain now down to dull ache and able to bear full weight. Yesterday was the perfect running weather, so hard to be stuck inside not able to get some miles in. I really want to be able to run (as well as get back to my workouts) while it is still fall before it gets so cold. I'll still run outside in winter, but just love fall running the most. Today, I'm going to do some yoga and then need to do some menu planning and meal prep. If I am going to lose any real weight this round, it will be because of the food choices I make. Need to make sure I'm set-up for success. Have a great weekend everyone!

10/7 = No Weigh In. I had a nice Sunday morning sleep-in and then before I could weigh-in was called to cooked breakfast for my daughter. I had promised her French toast as we had some really nice bread left over from earlier in the week. This was only for her, I am not tempted by this at all as consuming gluten makes me feel horrible. I picked my 90 day challenge workouts back up and completed day 69 of 90. I had to modify and take out the jumping parts and wore the ankle brace for extra support. I dropped each move down from 1 minute each to 30 seconds, still 3 rounds. I got through this fine, no noticeably ankle pain!

10/8 = 142.0 (no change) Probably not making my goal this round of being under 140. But it will come in time, just trying to get back into the swing of things with my workouts. Hopefully, now that I am able to get a good sweaty workout in again, I will be able to recommit to the healthy eating habits I had been practicing. I'm discouraged to know that this ankle set-back led to some self-sabotage eating, I had hoped I was beyond that. But knowledge is power, so I will stay strong and get back on track.

10/9 = No Weigh in

10/10 = 146.7 (up 4.7 lbs) Ow! That hurts just typing it. Two back to back days of making really poor choices and that is was the scale will bring you. I deserve this number. Monday went off the rails at lunch, when I got into pasta leftovers, which I should not be eating anyway due to gluten intolerance, much less in the serving size I had. Then we went to the movies where I had popcorn and a sugary cocktail, out to dinner where I had a dairy heavy soup, home to watch the Redskins lose on Monday night football where there were snacks and wine consumed. I logged it as a little over 3,000 calories. Then yesterday morning I avoided the scale (bad sign), and had normal calories all day but then lost it and more than doubled my calories with wine and snacks after dinner, came in over 2,400 calories. WTF??? I'm not stressed, there is no real reason for this binge but I feel it has been building for a bit. Spraining my ankle didn't help but I think this was coming even before that. I'd gotten a little complacent with my logging, calories, and food choices once I got under 145 lbs because I was so happy to not be "technically" fat anymore that I wasn't as diligent as I need to be. But no excuses, I made these choices. I now need to make a new choice, to refuse to sabotage all the hard work is has taken me to lose what was a 30lb loss. New day, a new re-confirmed commitment to myself and this process. "Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you".

10/11 = 145.5 (down 1.2 from yesterday, still up 3.5 lbs) Reigned it in a bit yesterday, still not 100% back on track. I had a typical breakfast but by the time for lunch, I was off track & "snacked" instead of having my normal green smoothie. But I logged it and was right at my calorie max, so I called it a day and didn't have anything more to eat. So while not the most nutritious day, was not over calories. Baby steps I drank lots of water yesterday to help flush out some of the junk food bloat and was able to get back to my 90 day challenge workouts. Day 70 completed yesterday: Jump Squat Cross Cross, Push Up Jacks, Crescent Kicks, 1-2 Punch (right leg, then left), One Arm Burpees, Spinal Balance, Single Leg Balance Lifts, Donkey Calf Raises, & V-Sit Straight Leg Circles. 3 Rounds but I've dropped each move from 1 minute each to 30 seconds to take it easy on my ankle. Still modifying some moves to be a little less intense but was able to do the jumping moves, albeit gingerly, at least pain free.

10/12 = 144 (down 1.5 from yesterday, still up 2.0 lbs) Inching my way back down. Yesterday was about 80% on track, nutrition was good and under calories, lots of water, but no exercise and 1 glass of wine. Looking to tick off all of the boxes today for nutrition, hydration & exercise. We going to be busy doing all sorts of fun fall activities this weekend. I'm taking my daughter and friend to a Graveyard Ghost tour tomorrow night. We live in an old New England town and this is something the historical society does so should be a bit of informative town history with a side of Halloween spooky. And then on Sunday, we will be headed to a local corn maze and pumpkin patch. The corn maze covers 8 acres, so if I'm not back weighing in on Monday, you'll know I'm still lost! There may of may or may not be a cider doughnut in my future this weekend as well, but only if it fits in my calories. Have a great weekend, everyone!

10/13 = 142.4 (down 1.6 from yesterday, still up 0.4 lbs) Almost back to my starting weight! Now wondering if I can pull out even the tiniest loss this round??? But will be happy with being at my start round weight, or even this weight tomorrow because the real success is that while I got derailed, I stopped it and got back on track. Major personal growth here "Never let a stumble in the road, be the end of your journey."

🎀10/5 - 180.2 - My carb grams have been much higher in the past week. Yesterday the carbs were wheat flour in the form of Texas toast croutons (10) and pumpkin tortilla chips (12) They were good and crunchy, just what I needed. 😁 But what springboarded (Is that an actual word? Today it is because I'm tired) me back to 180 was not enough sleep. Making the flowers for the wall has me keeping very late hours and I've been averaging 4 hrs of sleep every night this week. Today, I finish up the flowers and assemble the boards for the wall. Every part of this project is a PROJECT. I'll take a break tonight and tomorrow, then get back to it Saturday evening and Sunday. I want it to be ready for transport on Wednesday.
🎀10/6 - 179.2
🎀10/7 - 180.2 - Not enough sleep and a really high carb day that was not vegetables. It's all good, be over soon.
🎀10/8 - 181.4 - Absolutely carbs

🎀10/9 - 181.8 - Good thing my fortitude is a lot stronger than 3lbs of fluid! Another high carb/calorie day. Today may be the same. Yesterday, I was rested, this morning, very tired, as if I had a strenuous workout.
🎀10/10 - 181.2 - Very late night quick "meal" early weigh in after 4 hrs of sleep. My friend and I thought we were would be finishing up the flower application on the wall last night. NOT! Ran out of flowers. So, last minute dyeing of filters and now I'm trying to expedite the drying of them. There is still a lot to do before Saturday. The next photo I post will be on Saturday when the flower wall is in position and on display. I must say that it is gorgeous. Not at all how we imagined it would look. It is impressive.
🎀10/11 - 181.4 - Up all night glueing flowers. TIRED. Rested for two hours and now back at it. Hoping it doesn't have to be another all nighter.
🎀10/12 - 181- Surprised at this early weigh in. High carbs again yesterday, but under 93g total. Completed the flower wall at 1am, in bed by 2:15, sleep by 2:18 I'm sure. Up at 6am, smh. I will post a pic of the wall , but lying flat on the floor doesn't do it justice.

🎀10/13 - No weigh in this morning, but I'm sure my weight is still in the 181 range. I'll take care of that after today.
