Round 56 * +1.6
Round 57 * -1.8
Round 58 * TBD

OSW - 213 (highest weight ever 280 but I've had most of that off for more than 15 years but still)
CW - 190.2
RGW - 188.5
UGW – 135

Food Goals:
Get 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day.
Stay under my calorie goal of 1,400.

Exercise Goals:
Walk at least an hour 3 days a week.
Weight training 1 day a week
Other 1 day a week for an hour (biking/tennis/water aerobics or walking if nothing more fun is available)
Walk 45 miles in November (Nov 5th - 9.08 miles)

11/04 190.7 I walked a little over 2.5 miles yesterday. The weather was perfect for a walk but I was with girlfriend that wore the wrong shoes and couldn't really go any further. Love her and I am glad she's walking with me (she really needs to exercise and this is all she does is walk with me) but it did make me mad.
11/05 190.7 I got a late - slow walk in too late in the day. Forgetting about the time change, once again finished my walk in the dark. I have GOT to be more mindful of my surroundings. A couple of deer ran across the trail not 10 feet in front of me; scared the crap out of me. My nieces birthday celebration. She asked for chicken tortilla soup. Easily on the calories (I don't add the tortilla until the end so everyone can control their own) just a bunch of veggies, chicken breast, and seasonings. I might have had a loss if I had stayed to just one 2X2 gooey delicious brownie she wanted instead of cake.
11/06 190.4 Slight drop. Didn't exercise yesterday and normally I would go to the gym tonight, but I am traveling out of town for work and my BF is coming with me!!! I know he'll want to go to dinner etc. As long as I can stay in within my calorie goal I'll be fine. I will have no access to a scale until Friday morning.
11/07 No Scale I did end up going to the gym last night. I did a little more than an hour on the weight machines and drove 3.5 hours from KC to StL. I stayed within calories and sodium, which is all I can do these days. Tonight I should walk, we'll see what happens. Having the BF here is both good and bad. It's good because I get to spend time with him, it's bad because I don't want to work.
11/08 No Scale I did not do as well yesterday. I went over on calories, over on sodium, and did no exercise. That being said, I don't feel too bad physically or mentally. While I went over on calories they weren't "dirty", there was just too much of good stuff. I'm sure I'll be kicking myself when I finally get on a scale tomorrow but right now I'm ok. I just need to not do this again for awhile. Balance right?
11/09 188.7 Always good to see the scale go down. I suspect it will be back up slightly tomorrow but we'll see. Too cold and snowy to walk outside today. I'll be at the gym to get my 3 miles in tonight. I did walk a little yesterday but it was cold and snowing. I did find a couple of friends along the way, see below. The walk was actually very pleasant with the snow and the farm animals. There were cows on the other side of me, looking at me like I was crazy.

Round 58 (#22)

11/04: 134.2, this is getting old

11/05: 131.8, water whoosh

11/06: 131.8, dinner date with home made food. Yes, he cooked.

11/07: 133.4, went to a Hawaiian poke restaurant for dinner last night. Very yummy.

11/08: 135.6, Rad Tech week at work. Yesterday was subway sandwiches and junk food.

Back again! Just noticed yesterday (goal date) I was under my second short term goal weight despite the slight stall - so even though I've felt really "behind" in my journey I think I've found my patience again and I'm happy where I'm at. 11/04 - Sunday - 179.6 - NSV on Saturday - went to moms to clean and help her unpack. She wanted to order from the pizza place (she has healthy habits so tends to use me as an excuse to "celebrate") but I said no thanks and had tuna and a salad! Then on Sunday - daylight savings morning was slow, lazy, and snuggly and I loved it. Went out running errands in the afternoon. Started a pot roast and headed out to clean up the yard. DH used to leaf blower, I raked up big piles, and we moved the tarp together for about 2 hours, but about 1 hour of active raking. I didnt eat enough protein in the day so I was super snacky after dinner but I managed to reign it in.
11/05 - Monday - 179.2 - A loss on a Monday?!!!?! Look what happens when I stay accountable on the weekends! Woohoo! Need to pick up a short list of things at the store before heading home after work. Milk, coffee, and shampoo. I want to make a crustless quiche tonight for breakfasts for the week, we got some yummy ham at the farm. Fish oil habit is coming back around and I started taking elderberry extract as everyone is sick! 10 minutes of yoga is also turning into a habit! Feels good to take care of myself!
11/06 - Tuesday - 179.4 - Munchies hit me last night but I did a decent job managing with just 6 chips and a fruit leather. I filled half my plate with broccoli at dinner and tried to fill up on that because I knew I was starving but didnt want to binge on pasta - needed more protein though which was apparent when the munchies hit me at like 8:30 - all good things to learn from though. Busy at work - reminding myself that I do better is most aspects of my life with MORE STRUCTURE. That includes work, health, finances, relationships. My morning habits are becoming solid again, I made sure to hang up all laundry last night, I've got several dinners ready to go, stress management has been improving - I'm finding my rhythm again!
11/07 - Wednesday - 178.6 - Feeling great! Saw a quote, "Non attachment is self love" speaking in regards to our ever changing body. Especially as women. I'm on this journey to better health, but I'm trying to love my body at every stage. I think for me, it's a huge part of this process, to learn healthy body image and self love. I've come a long way - I'm appreciating that my body is strong, gets me through each day relatively pain free, allows me mobility to do, go, see, be whatever I want to be! And the end goal being to get pregnant, I'm really trying to wrap my mind around "non-attachment as self love" because this body of mine is going to be changing thru many seasons and I want to love and appreciate all of those stages, not just an end result.
11/08 - Thursday - 177.8 - Wooooh! Wrapping my head around these 170's is a trip! I slipped on my newer size 10 jeans this morning after their first wash and dry thinking they would be snug but they were not! I saw myself in the mirror and did a double take. I checked out my weekly stats on the app yesterday and noticed how much a difference CONSISTENCY makes for me. I'm losing consistently because my calories, macros, and habits have all been consistent for the first time since middle of August basically. It looked like I held on to my habits for dear life thru the move, but then got confused while settling in and lost touch with that idea of consisitency - my days were high cal then very low cal on repeat - like a binge and restrict on a smaller scale but definitely being mindful of that behavior so I can pick up on it quicker in the future. I'm starting to feel like a healthy person! My mini mini goal is to be 175 by thanksgiving.
11/09 - Friday - 177.8 - Ate lunch out yesterday - chose a shrimp burger and a green side salad! Skipped appetizer, skipped dessert! Still felt heavy from "lighter" dining out choices so we had raviolis for dinner instead of the planned chicken fried steak. I managed to bring breakfast and pack lunch despite wanting to do otherwise. Dog is off to daycare today and already got her toe nails trimmed. It's Friday and I'm feeling good! Want to stay on track this weekend - also want to order out tonight - haha forever searching for that balance. But thats why I packed breakfast and lunch - I know I struggle on Friday nights, and usually when I don't statisfy a Friday craving - it turns into a weekend long snack search for what I really wanted. So 80/20 rule is in full effect this weekend! Happy Friday everybody!

I'm back! I went to a naturopath and feel much better. She gave me some digestive enzymes, just to help with the uncomfortable and heavy feeling I've been having lately and the enzymes are definitely helping. I am waiting for the results of the food allergy test and when those results come back in a couple of weeks, I am going to go over the results with the nutritionist and make a game plan on what to do. I am also going to see my PCP this Friday just to make sure there isn't anything more, but based on the fact I am starting to feel better with the enzymes I definitely believe there are food allergy/sensitivity issues.


11/4--218.4 Joined the gym last week and started Strong Curves. Went to the gym this morning and did W4D2 of c25k yesterday. Going out to dinner tonight and then taking my MIL to see Joan Baez in concert. My MIL loves Joan Baez.
11/5--220.6 Water weight from dinner and lack of water. Will probably show up again tomorrow as I took my MIL out for breakfast and did not drink a lot of water today. I will be travelling for a presentation tomorrow, so my schedule will be out of whack for another day. Even though it was my day off today, I got up early and went to the gym.
11/6--220.4 Will be going out for lunch today. Goal today is to get water in.
11/7--220.9 The last of my days where I am eating out. Today I'm back on track and getting my water in. Yoga tonight.
11/8--220.6 Woke up 45 minutes earlier this morning and went to the gym before work. Felt bloated and heavy all day yesterday and still feeling a little bloated this morning. I forgot to take my digestive enzymes at lunch yesterday and I forgot to bring them with me to work today again, ugh.
11/9--220.0 Happy hour/good-bye party tonight for co-worker who is leaving. Plan is to drink a lot of water today and eat lighter for the rest of the day to limit the amount of damage tonight.

Two weddings the weekend of the 18th!

@FarmerCarla LOL Typing from the backseat. I was the first one in the family to get a Bluetooth ear bud when they passed the hands free law in Nevada in 2011.

@abowersgirl and @Winner_in_Life I got a Jillian video and tried it a few times but can’t stand her screaming. Additionally, at about 40# overweight by the time I got up/down from the floor she was through the exercise and going from down/up. I do love most of the BeachBody workouts but never got weight loss while drinking their shake. Too many carbs.

@AJB1014 I had one of those “I’m not hungry but want something” night’s last night. I remembered that I had made low carb peppermint bark the other day so had two pieces. YUM! Problem solved!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

11/4 131.0 I have not been drinking enough water the last couple of days. Cooler temps (yesterday a high of 80) make it more difficult for me to remember.
11/5 130.0 Got in almost 3 qts of water. Made a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich (on keto 90 second bread with almond flour) at 11AM and wasn’t hungry all day. Needed more protein so had a Premier Protein shake at 8PM. Meeting Amy at the gym at 2.
11/6 130.0 Didn’t get to the gym, tweaked something in my back or neck eating lunch! Now I’m wearing the C-collar again.
11/7 129.0 Yesterday I voted, got my flu shot and spent almost an hour at the gym with my friend. After our workout we stood in the parking lot planning our visits until Thanksgiving. What has happened to us? We are looking forward to our gym time?!?
11/8 130.5 Carbs and salt! I knew it was going to happen. I was mad at myself because I haven’t mastered my new HRM and it didn’t record most of my workout yesterday. We went to Golden Corral for dinner - conveniently located right next door to the gym. Early bird special. Going to breakfast this morning. Typing in the car.
11/9 130.5 Carl is asleep in the living room so I did not make my BPC. I hate open floor plans for that reason! Too much kitchen noise everywhere! My workout buddy had to cancel so my couch potato self only had 2600 steps yesterday!

Male, 39
6'0"

Goal: Get BF% to 10-12%, then bulk. Around 15.1% at beginning of Round 58

Round 57: +2.6
SW for Round 58: 189.2 (15.1% BF)

11/04 - 190.6 - Water weight has been killing me the last week or so. Too much sodium. Will make a better effort to be more strict and accountable these next 10 days.

11/05 - 188.6 - Made really good food choices yesterday. Played and walked 18 holes of golf and bowled my Sunday night bowling league. Ended up over 16,000 steps on the day. Will try to make more good choices today and see if the water weight will continue to come off.

11/06 - 188.2 - Continuing the trend the right way. Over 10,000 steps. Had to abbreviate my lift yesterday because I got OKC Thunder tickets for last night's game. A little over on calories compared to my goal, but still comfortably in deficit. Will try to finish my lift today and get my cardio in as well.

11/07 - 185.6 - Boom! Thats what I'm talking about! Had a really good food consumption day and played 2 hours of full court basketball (burned over 1100 calories) and then went and finished my lift from Monday. Going to try to continue making good food choices (have a working lunch at work today with food provided so we will se how that goes). Onward and downward!

11/08 - 186.0 - Had a solid day. Got just over 10,000 steps and a nice lift in (Deadlifts, Lat Pull-Downs, Overhead Press, Bicep Curls and Pec Flys). Ate at a good deficit, even with 4 pieces of pizza at the working lunch. Sodium was a little higher than I like (about 4800 mg). Long distance cardio today and abs (my least favorite workout), but I will try to push through it and have a good eating day.

11/09 - 186.0 - Had a big meal for dinner last night (Mexican), but planned for it with a lighter lunch and breakfast, so I stayed within my calories. Ran 5 miles in 46:09 after dinner for my cardio workout for the day. Hoping to do well today with food as I have another work luncheon. Lifting day today (Squat, Bench, etc.).
