10/08 —129.4— the scale is moving in the right direction again.. dinner plans were cancelled last night because the hubby wasn’t feeling good, but at least it was easier to stay on track. Today is back to reality for me, off to school! 🤓

10/11 —128.2— woohoo! I finally got a TON of rest. I got on and off the scale about 10 times because I couldn’t believe it.. I still don’t kind of. We will see!

10/12 —129.2— 😐 had pasta last night.

10/14 —128.2— actually surprised, because had an unplanned dinner at my favorite sushi place and went about 300 calories over. Happy Sunday everyone...🙏🏼🏈🤗 See ya next round!

Appears as though I lost all of this rounds weight within the first 4 days? Not sure why the last half didn't have a loss but I can't complain about the overall loss. I'm set to a 1lb loss a week. I wanted to take it slow at first but I'm already tempted to up it to 1.5. Either way, I'm happy I got through this round and I'm excited to start the next Good job everyone

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."

10/14 = 141.3 (down 1.1 from yesterday) SUCCESS!!!! Hard 10 days, I really lost my way for the 1st time since I started trying to lose weight, but I found my way back and am finishing this round with a 0.7 loss. This maybe the most important round yet for me, I think the mental component of losing weigh is the part that really controls it all. I'm heading into round 56 in a renewed positive head space and ready to tackle the approximately 15 pounds I have left to lose. See you there! "The body achieves what the mind believes."

@Bendiz ******** Have a wonderful day filled with love, laughter and pure joy! ********

@abowersgirl and @quiltingjaine thanks for the comments on my pup. He's so young! He is not in pain now, but apparently will have a short and painful life. The vet suggested we would probably opt to put him down before he turns 3 because of his pain level. They did give us the option of hip replacement surgery, but it is very expensive (4500 each hip), not something in our budget, and also does not always fix the problems.

Right now I am just trying to enjoy him and give him the best life possible. I took him to the beach yesterday and on a hike, the vet said exercise is good to stave off the inevitable. But I can't help feeling sad looking in his big brown innocent eyes and know what's ahead for him.

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.

10/13 - 175.0…..First, let me say I am so happy to be typing my weight in red today instead of green or black. Yesterday was day One of my Egg Fast. It went very well. Nighttime is when I want to snack so I saved some cubed cheese just for that. Today was day Two. I hope that my weight in the morning will reflect more loss. I would love to end AT LEAST WHERE I STARTED on this round! Sheesh….. this has been a tough round for me. Next one has GOT to be better. Wishing everyone well for tomorrow’s weigh-in.

10/14 - 174.6..... It took an Egg Fast just to get me to my starting weight but I did it! Whew! No loss this round which is disappointing. But I’ve learned a lot this round that will become tools in my toolbox. Thanks everyone for that! And thanks @quiltingjaine for that cheddar & bacon concoction you’ve shared with @iLadyT and the rest of us. I will be making that for sure! Yummy! Congrats, BTW, on the 120’s where you have landed solid and firm! Your progress continues to astonish!

Nice job everyone! I'll see everyone in the next round.

Ok there are only 2 days left but I am back on the wagon after xgiving. Week before xgiving jumped off the wagon with a pie in one hand and a bowl of gravy in the other.

My 4rd round and 5rd week on Poon Diet.

10-12: 161.6 (0) After 3 weeks of sticking to the plan two things happened - shark week right before xgiving. If it stood still long enough I would eat it. I was stunned at the intensity of the cravings. Ice cream that had been in the house for weeks - gone. Chips and I do not LIKE chips - gone. Then of course I cooked thanksgiving dinner, mash, stuffing, sprouts with pancetta and chestnuts (I love chestnuts), gravy, bourbon cranberry sauce...PUMPKIN PIE etc etc. Cook everything on my own and of course that meant tasting it along the way. It was as if one bite lit the end of a stick of dynamite and BAAM had to have more. That 0 lbs does not tell the story. I was probably up 5 lbs just from mash alone but somehow sanity has returned. Cravings gone.

I bought G2 gatorade - 12 gr of CARBS! Hello, second ingredient is sugar and I used to drink that thinking it was a "better" choice - 12 g is almost half of 25 g daily limit (not for this diet for which it is lower think this is WHO recommendation) so I left it alone. Diet Coke which I started drinking thinking it would help with the cravings only made things worse. Doc suggested avoid asparatame and try xylitol - former absorbed in body latter not - but research it this is from memory.

Doc told me next shark week eat protein every 2 hrs and EXERCISE. No supplements. If really need a fix buy low carb snack. BUY ONLY ONE SERVING AT AT A TIME. I'll also stick with water and lemon or those flavoured waters and see what happens next round. Glad to be back on wagon and looking forward to next weigh in.


10-13: 161.6 (0) no change but still on wagon and leftovers AND CRAVINGS gone!
10-14: 161.6 (0) ok. so I weighed myself. no change. blew my nose. weighed myself again. no change....is that so wrong??? ...Looking forward to next round and being rewarded for my diligence with a downward swing in the numbers sans nose blowing....
