Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 203.7 Was out of town the weekend before plus mother's day, so starting fresh after today.
05/14 202.6 Had a healthy lunch and dinner, kept it mostly low carb.
05/15 201.5 Healthy lunch, but I gave in and had 3/4 of a bread at Panera. Had an unsweetened iced tea
instead of diet soda today! Going to boyfriend's house today after work and he always messes up my healthy eating, so hope to keep making good choices.
05/16 ??? Spent the night at my bf's and his scale is always wrong. Says I'm 203.4, but don't think it's right, so waiting until I get home from work or tomorrow morning to see where I'm at. We had Lucille's for dinner last night, but I portioned everything and skipped on dessert. I did have some diet coke, but also ordered a water and had a little of both. Hope to stay on track today!
05/17 201.1 Had a healthy dinner last night keeping it low carb and only drank coffee and water, no diet sodas! Didn't get to the gym, but decided to take my dog for a walk instead as my workout and feel great! Now just need to get my water up.
05/18 200.6 Knocked out early last night, so been up since 5:30 this morning energized! Had a healthy lunch yesterday and made plank grilled salmon and a salad for dinner. Really happy with results this morning!
05/19 ???- Wen't to my boyfriend's sister's housewarming party last night. Ate very good up until the house party, but I only snacked on a few things and skipped the desserts. Did take a couple shots and had half a coke. Didn't get to weigh in this morning, so hopefully didn't mess up too bad.
05/20 201.9 I'm so upset that this weekend, mainly just Saturday really messed me up. I know I can do great and lose that lb I gained quick, but hate how hard I work and then only a few hours with people can mess it up. I did have a keto breakfast yesterday and today and had a good dinner last night. Staying strong these next few days and going to try and up my water more.

Hopefully I can just maintain this round and stay where I ended the last round. We have 3 graduation parties, my son and niece’s actual graduation, and a ton of family in town. Lots of eating out and drinks I am sure. It is a time to celebrate, so I’m trying to learn how to celebrate in moderation, both with food and alcohol. That has never been a strong suit of mine, lol.

Round 73: 150.4 - 148.8 (Avg 149.51)
Round 74: 148.8 - 151.9 (Avg 150.65)
Round 75: 151.9 - 148.8 (Avg 148.41)
Round 76: 148.8 - 147.7 (Avg 147.97)


5/13 - 149.6 had Panda Express last night for dinner, so I’m assuming I’m up because of the soy sauce and carbs. Plus I’m sure it’s the rest of my Saturday night activities coming back to haunt me. On a Monday to still be under 150 I am happy. I have my 1st grad party tonight at an Italian restaurant, so I’m going to try and choose wisely. Plan today is to drink lots of water to get the sodium and beer out of my system and try and fill up on salad for dinner. Also no bread or alcohol tonight.

5/14 - 149.6 same which is good. Italian dinner with family last night, plus my husband surprised me with an afternoon movie. Finally got to see the new Avengers which was worth the wait. Ended up having a couple of beers during the movie, but no bread sticks at dinner. We also stopped and grabbed burgers before walking into the movies, so staying the same was expected. Should be back down tomorrow, work all day and the my youngest has her talent show tonight. So meals are planned and prepped.

5/15 - 148.0 Nice drop today, should be back to 146.xxx tomorrow. Just in time for loads of family to come into town. My son and niece graduate tomorrow, so will weigh and check in quickly in the am. Hopefully I can make decent choices tomorrow, I know lunch and dinner will be out and there will be lots of celebrating. I don't think I will make my goal of 145 by tomorrow, but I am really darn close and happy with where I am.

5/16 - 147.0 ate really late last night trying to get ready for the graduation today. Two restaurant meals today and a lot of sitting. Wish me luck!

5/17 - 148.0 and I am back up. I now officially have 2 children that have graduated from high school! I did really well yesterday food wise. I did have a spicy bloody Mary (I just love them so much), 2 beers and maybe 3 glasses of water ( I know terrible). I know I was dehydrated because I woke up twice last night thirsty. I was way under on calories though, my breakfast was just over 300 and then I did not eat again till dinner which was only about 600 calories. Back at work today and hopefully will be back down tomorrow before we have to start the weekend. I have 1 more graduation party on Saturday and I will be done with events for this round. Half way through and right now I haven't made any progress, but I have maintained, which in my book with all the celebrating and eating out I have done, I'm taking it as a win!

05/18 - 147.0 still here just hanging out. My trend weight is the lowest it has ever been, so winner, winner, chicken dinner. Last grad party in this round that I have to attend today and hopefully I will do well and weigh in around the same tomorrow.

05/19 - 147.0 was hoping I would be back to 146.xx but I’ll take it. Did eat a couple bites of a cinnamon roll and French toast casserole. Holding steady and looking to get lower before this round ends.

05/20 - 148.1 kind of surprised I am up. Did really well this whole weekend, way better than usual. I did eat more carbs on Saturday than I usually do, so maybe this is just a delayed reaction. Looking to finish this round strong before vacation this weekend. Have all meals planned for the next couple of days and should be back down by Wednesday. 2 more days!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/13--207.8 Weight training at gym yesterday and then I took dog out for a long walk. Run tonight.
5/14--207.2 Did some snacking last night but stayed within my calorie goals. Went for a 3 mile run last night. Trainer tonight. Now that I realize that I snack a lot on the evenings I workout with my trainer I am already planning ahead. I did some research and found that the need to snack can be due to a need for protein, so today I am making sure that I up my protein intake after my workout. Hopefully that will help with my snacking tonight.
5/15--207.2 My plan to eat more protein after my workout helped. While I still snacked it was definitely less snacking than the last time I worked out with the trainer. Run tonight and then maybe yoga... depends on if I have to work late.
5/16--208.1 Bump is definitely due to my salty snacks yesterday evening. The snacking struggle is real. Was raining when I got home so I didn't go for a run, but I could have...was too lazy. Also did not go to yoga, but trainer is tonight.
5/17--208.3 Very tough workout yesterday so not surprised about the bump up. Going out for lunch and happy hour today, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
5/18--208.7 I knew there would be a bump up after happy hour yesterday, but I had a great time. Even though I didn't feel like it I went out this morning and ran 5.5 miles...I was so proud of myself. I then decided to take some measurements and found I had lost 7 inches all over in the past 2 months...very excited! Today I'm going to take dog out for a long walk and make sure I get my water in.
5/19--208.9 Sore from run yesterday and my hip is hurting, so between the lingering affects from Friday's happy hour, the water retention from my sore muscles, and inflammation from my sore hip I'm not surprised I'm up again today and expect to be up for a couple of days. Going to take MIL out to lunch today for her birthday and then resting/icing my hip for the rest of the day.
5/20--210.7 I'm not even worried about the jump in my weight. I know it's from the salt at lunch yesterday, inflammation from my sore hip, and the lack of water I've had over the past 2 days. Hip is feeling better, no pain today and less soreness. Just making sure that I'm not sitting for long periods of time so that the hip doesn't tighten up so much. Did not go to gym yesterday and I won't be running today and instead I will just take it easy and do some light walking.

ROUND 77 (Round 19 for me)
5’4 ½” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
Goal: Maintain between 135 and 140 lb. and increase muscle mass
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-77 = 44 lb.
I started and finished the last round below my maintenance range. I like the keto WOE and, mostly, stick to that, but I add extra carbs when I’m under 135.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 132.6 I’m off to a low start, which means I can indulge a little. Strict adherence to keto paid off while I was losing weight, so I’ve earned the privilege of eating extra carbs. I’ll have rice with my Keto Gumbo this evening. It’s good without the rice, but I don’t want to lose more weight. My husband loves the Keto Gumbo, and, since he’s thin, I always add rice to his serving. Thor and I are going for a long walk today—I’ve kept him waiting for 3 weeks because of our cruise and all the rain since we returned. The sun is shining!
05/14 133.2 Thor and I enjoyed our walk yesterday, but I’m afraid I waited too long and have to get him used to it again. I checked the pavement several times yesterday to make sure it wasn’t too hot, and it seemed okay, and he didn’t act like anything was wrong. He walked some on the grass, but he seems to prefer the pavement. His feet were obviously sore last night. I’ll give him a couple of days before we walk again and keep the next couple of walks a little shorter. Yesterday, we walked a little over 4 miles and jogged part of the way. Thor ran out the door to chase squirrels this morning, but then slowed down. I hope he’s okay.
05/15 133.0 I started strength training with the Chalean Extreme program. I’ve procrastinated and let other activities take priority, but I’ve done it before and know how well it works, so I want to stick with it. I may have to get tough on myself.
05/16 134.2 I’m still below my maintenance range. I had muscle soreness this morning from lifting yesterday, which may account for the gain. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Today was a rest day, and I lift again tomorrow. I brought home two kittens today to be company for my dog, Thor, and keep mice off my back porch (after they grow up). Thor’s a sweet dog, and he had a cat when he was a puppy. I’m convinced he’ll accept the kittens, but it may take a while for them to get used to each other.
05/17 133.8 I haven’t done my strength training today, but it will happen. Tomorrow is a grandchild’s birthday, so I have to make a trip to town before I lift, and, hopefully, I will make it to our community game night this evening. The kittens are doing well. I have the kittens set up with a litter box, food and water bowls, and their bed in a large dog crate next to my German Shepherd’s crate, with a cardboard barrier between them. They were all quiet throughout the night, so we’re off to a good start. I’m too old to trip over anything or any animal at night.
05/18 133.8 I got my strength training in yesterday evening and did a “burn intervals” workout this evening. I enjoyed the grandson’s t-ball game and spending time with the kids this afternoon. We stopped at one of my favorite Mexican food restaurants on the way home. I ate about half my food, didn’t even cut into the shrimp stuffed avocado, so I have lunch for tomorrow. My husband has leftovers, too, so I only have to cook breakfast. That works for me!
05/19 133.6 Happy Sunday! It’s been a good day for me. After church, and visiting my MIL in the nursing home, I took a nap, then finished my first week of Beach Body’s Chalean Extreme, which I’m excited to continue. My results may not be as impressive as they were the first time, when I was (only) 60, but, at 67, I know I will still be stronger and more agile. This time around, I lost the weight before I started strength training. I have plenty of loose skin, so I may not end up as tight, but I won’t let that deter me.
05/20 133.8 I thought I finished my first week of Chalean Extreme yesterday, but forgot I started on Wednesday and not on Monday. I finished the 3 heavy lifting days, and a cardio day, but had to do the “Burn It Off” and “Recharge” workouts today. I like the heavy weight days and cardio workouts better than the “Recharge” (stretching), but I know it's important, I did it, and tomorrow’s a rest day. If it’s not raining, Thor and I will get in a walk.
Best thing about today: Celebrating 24th anniversary of marriage to a wonderful man. He loves pasta, so I’ll fix pasta for my husband (zucchini spirals for me). I thought about making a desert, but he has cookies and his beloved coffee ice cream, so I won’t tempt myself with something I like, too. I had a first today, helping a friend deliver “Meals on Wheels” to folks. It was enjoyable, and I look forward to doing it again.

Yesterdays Stats: 1047 Calories In / 2415 Calories Out. 20 Net Carbs. 11,316 Total Steps & 4.81 Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 37 minutes

Too much on my mind & didn’t feel tired. I will likely sleep like a baby tonight. I took a 75 minute walk to offset the extra 180 calories I ate. Kitchen remodel slowly continues so I have no livingroom floor to dance in still

05/17 …..xxxxx …..

05/18 …..194.1 ….. I missed the weigh-in & post yesterday. So busy trying to go through all the boxes & laundry baskets full of food before putting it into my new kitchen cabinets. Checking dates etc. Kitchen not done yet, but cabinets are in. Over the next couple of weeks will be some electrical/lighting, drywall repair & paint. Just trying to clean it up before the holiday weekend so I can have my livingroom & kitchen back and maybe even have guests for the holiday weekend. I would love for my DB & DSIL to be able to come up from downstate & stay the weekend. Grab & go food again. So I sniffed carbs & quick foods and it shows on the scale. Not worried. Mainly water & I know what to do. It’s just going to be a tough week with little time for self-care.

05/19 …..194.1 ….. Went out for a quick dinner and tried to make decent choices though eating at home is always closer to plan. Stayed very busy with the kitchen projects. Calories pretty good. Carbs a bit high. No LNS was a plus. Yesterdays Stats: Best guess on food info 1781 Calories In / 2456 Calories Out. 86 Net Carbs. 11,729 Total Steps & 4.96 Miles after standing in place a lot working at filling kitchen cabinets back up. (not done with that project yet!) IF 16:8 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 36 minutes. Very cold yesterday. Raining & storming today. No planned exercise yesterday but a short 10 minute walk & all the housework. Today I clean cabins which will require running in & out of the rain. Ugg. I am going to eat at home today & make better choices. Working on water today too.

05/20 …..194.1 ….. Scale the same. Busy….busy…..busy…..Yesterday’s Stats: 1438 Calories In / 2515 Calories Out. I’m not sure how many net carbs but I know it was over my limit. 12,365 Total Steps & 5.23 Total Miles. IF 16:8 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 9 minutes. No planned exercise. Cleaned 5 cabins & worked hard in my kitchen. Lots of sheets & towel laundry. Tomorrow I travel & that will be reflected on my final weigh day after tomorrow. I’m not happy about that.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 - 137.2 (-2.4lbs) I don’t know if this is real or if it’s just going to shoot back up to 139. It has been back and forth the last several days. I should be in this range but will see what happens in the coming days.
05/14 - 138.7 (+1.5lbs) and there it is 😆 I’m sure it’s a bit of DOMS causing water retention. Im just going to accept the ups and downs as the new normal. At least it’s not 139s.
05/15 - 139 (+.3) can’t say I’m surprised. Felt bloated last night. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
05/16 - 139.4 (+.4) 😂
05/17 -139.9 (+.5) DOMS? Bloated? Both? No idea. Very annoyed right now though.
05/18 - 141.1 (+1.2) I did eat late and made poor food choices. Woke up full so I’m sure that’s part of it. I know it’s not all real weight though. Just going to get back to eating very clean and not eating out at all. Hopefully things get back on track soon.
05/19 - 139 (-2.1) huge fluctuations. Water retention like crazy. Going to take a few days break from training and hyper focus on eating healthy at home.
05/20 - 137.6 (-1.4) no strength training to give my body rest and ate healthy (per usual) didn’t eat out at all.

4) Tighten up my logging and stay within 100 calories of my limit

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 – 201.0 – Not the best way to start the week or a new challenge, but I’m trying to keep it in perspective and use these ten days to reinforce good habits. Rain all day, so I concentrated on indoor tasks and planned, pre-logged, and prepped most of my meals for the work week. Didn’t want to miss my walking goal on Day 1, so I walked briskly indoors for 35 minutes, incorporating 45 flights of steps to keep my heart rate up. Logging, calories, and water: all good. Wrapping up the evening with a big stack of papers – only 3 more sets to go!

05/14 – 199.2 – Now that’s looking better! Cold and rainy again – brrr! Did 40 minutes walking around a local mall instead of heading home for my planned lunch. Grabbed something on the fly, but kept to my calorie allowance. Drank my water and got through 2 more sets of student essays. Only 1 more to go!

05/15 – 198.8 – Last day of classes! It was nice to see the sun after so much rain. Finished my last stack of papers before class and got the final grades entered before dinner. Then I rewarded my patient pup with a nice long walk in the park (75 min). Started sorting through my summer clothes, trying some on before deciding what works for now and what may (hopefully) need to be replaced by the end of the season. Under my calorie limit, plenty of water, and an invigorating walk! Best of all, the grading is behind me. Summer break starts now

05/16 – 197.6 – First day of break! 50-minute walk on the boardwalk before a laid-back lunch date with my mom and my daughter. Pre-planning the rest of my meals helped me stay on track today.

05/17 – 197.0 – Surprised to see another drop, but I had a gain last round despite being pretty good. Skipped the walk because my feet were hurting and spent the morning shopping online for athletic shoes and sandals with good arch support. Gorgeous day, but energy and motivation were low. Sushi dinner and not enough water. Won’t be surprised to see a bounce back up this weekend, but I'm trying to focus on the trend rather than the day-to-day fluctuations.

05/18 – 197.0 – Lovely day! Did a bit of light gardening and made a trip to the nursery for some pond plants and annuals for the deck boxes. Hoping to finish those on Monday if it doesn’t rain. Walked for an hour before dinner, enjoying one of the narrow woodland trails before it’s overgrown. Skipped the wine and stayed under my calorie limit to bank a little for a dinner out tomorrow. Hope it works!

05/19 – 197.0 – Holding steady. Made an early start in the garden this morning and finished the new perennial bed at the end of the driveway. Then down to the beach for a long walk and a calorie splurge lunch. Over on calories and way over on sodium, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

05/20 – 197.4 – Little bump. Planned to get back on track today, but an extended power outage and a late meeting upended my lunch and dinner plans. Eating both meals out put me a little over on calories (but still at a deficit) and a lot over on sodium. Heat spiked today. Got some of the pots filled but still have the bulk of the container planting to do. Met my step goal but didn’t get to the park for a walk. Two more days to go – hoping to make them good ones!

05/13 DNW - yesterday flew to Italy for a week. Managed to walk just over 5 miles, some in the airport before the flight and then a wander around after we checked in the hotel. Going to try to make healthy choices, but we are on holiday so !! At least we have good scope for good walking and lots is either steep up or down hills, plenty calorie burning !!!

05/14 DNW - 9 miles walked yesterday including 3 down the hill to Sorrento and of course then back up at the end of the afternoon !!

05/15 DNW - caught ferry over to Capri yesterday after walking down to the marina, did loads of walking over alot up hill and of course walked back up the hill to the hotel at the end of the day; 12 miles walked and 224 flights of stairs !!

05/16 DNW - 11.5 miles walked, tried to make healthy food choices, lots of water
05/17 DNW - 10 miles walked, still within calories as best I can count - it's difficult when eating out and not in charge of preparing. Caught the train to Herculaneum, amazing set of ruins and allegedly in better condition than Pompeii if a smaller site.

05/18 DNW - walked down the hill again to catch the bus to a lovely fishing village on the Amalfi coast, walked all the way down to the sea and later back to the top for bus back to Sorrento and walk all the way back up the hill; 10.25 miles walked and 161 flights of stairs.

05/19 DNW - just short of 10 miles walked & 103 flights of stairs yesterday. Fly back home today, day of reckoning to log in again !!!

05/20 135.8 – oh my giddy aunt !!!!! 5 ½ pounds up, higher than when I joined my first challenge 8 rounds ago!! and I thought I'd made healthy food choices and walked loads everyday. Oh well back at it. I read sometime ago that flying does bloat so hoping some of this is due to that and will quickly melt away. Onwards and hopefully downwards.

05/21 133 – heading in the right direction (thank goodness !!), just under 8 ¾ miles walked, 1,126 calories consumed 97 fl oz water consumed

Goal: See a 93.xx and walk 10k daily. I have 15 days till next traveling I want to get a heads upon that, and a 92.xx before I go.

05/13-94.9 kg and 9,300 steps. First day in and both starting high and cheating on my step count. Not good, but I also needed to rest after walking like crazy on Saturday. Will try to squeeze a walk in the evening and maybe during the day. The weather is too nice.
05/14-94.6 kg and 12,900 steps. Long evening walk as promised! Yoyo weight also 🙄
05/15-94.9 kg and 16,100 steps. Major walk yesterday and thinking a crazy idea of sign up to a race (Walking. Really aint going to run) next week. Looking at this weight fluctuations makes me pissed
05/16-94.5 kg and 10,400 steps. Took a lunch walk yesterday. Signed up to the race.
05/17-94.9 kg and 20,700 steps. Yes 20k!! Will not see my goal though i think

05/20-95.6 kg and 11,800 steps. Dragged my self for a "jog" yesterday even though was really tired. Was proud. The weight shows really strange things. Must be the carbs or lack of sleep. Hope ot is a glitch.
05/21-95.6 kg and 15,200 steps. Mafe it through my first race! Wasn't as hard as I expected it to be! 5.5km in 46m! Dd not help with the weight though. Not sure what is up with that.
