Day/Weight/Comment
05/23: 193.0 (I had a slight increase in weight and I'm sure it's because of soreness and TOM has just barely ended. I'm staying the course and hope the weight falls off as my body adjusts back to a more normal cycle. I made some chicken breast kabobs and rice for dinner last night and did a 55 minute TurboFire workout.)
05/24: 192.0 (My body loves this number! My weekly loss this week is 0.8 pounds. It's still the lowest weight I've been since on this weight loss thing. I hope to make my goal next Friday! I did my 5K training last night. I do 30 minutes and 3 of those minutes I ran consecutively! I was proud of that. It was hard no doubt about that! I made meatball subs for dinner last night and had a small one.)
05/25: 191.8 (Woohoo a new low! I did not expect this at all and I’m happy to see it. Last night I went out to dinner with hubby and some family. I had a couple pieces of bread and some short ribs. I did not do a workout yesterday.)
05/26: 191.0 (Now thats a new low! I officially have 50 pounds to go until my goal weight. I’m so close to my mini goal weight for Happy Scale. Once I hit 190 my reward is a gym membership. I’m so excited! Last night I did no workout and I was at my nephews 4th birthday party and ate a lot.)
05/27: 192.0 (This is an amazing Monday weigh in! I know this will be an amazing week and I hope I can get into a new decade by Friday! I ate pizza last night for a friends bday party and I did my 5K training yesterday during a little rain and 50 degree weather. I ran 3 minutes in a row and could’ve done more but followed my plan.)
05/28: 192.0 (Staying right here, but that's okay! I had a good day yesterday just relaxing after a busy weekend. I did a bunch of laundry and grocery shopping as well. We had cheese quesadillas with chips and queso for dinner last night and I did a 55 minute TurboFire workout.)
05/29: 191.4 (I did my 5K training yesterday and added 3 more minutes of running to include 6 now. OMG was that difficult! There are tons of hills by my house and when I was going downhill, I felt like my form was horrible and I was stomping my feet. The next time I run, I'm going to focus on my form to not injure myself. I made eggs and potatoes last night with fruit for dinner. So close to goal!!)
05/30: 192.0 (I kind of knew this was going to happen. I did not do a workout due to some intense shoulder pain all day long which is a flare up from an old volleyball injury I got in high school. I iced the shoulder and then put an icy hot patch to relieve the pain. I'm also sore in my legs and mostly my inner thighs from my workouts Monday and Tuesday. I'm hoping for a new low tomorrow morning! Happy Scale says I should make my weight on Saturday! I made Mexican pizzas last night (copycat Taco Bell recipe
)

5/23 No Scale - I will update the numbers for the last round and beginning round tomorrow when I get on the scale after being in New Orleans for 4 days. I have hope, I haven't gone crazy and I have exercised every day. I've been drinking a ton of water to help with sodium. I went to a beach in Mississippi yesterday and walked four miles. I never get to walk on the beach. Had cheap fresh grilled tuna tacos for dinner. Delicious!!!! I love that my job allows me to travel to places I wouldn't have otherwise, though it makes staying on task difficult.
5/24 172.4 I'm not thrilled, but not mad either. I am down for the round, though up two pounds from when I left. I KNOW I didn't eat enough to gain two pounds. Hopefully, I'll see a drop tomorrow or the next day. My sick friend is out of intensive care and off the ventilator. It was touch and go for two weeks, but he's definitely on the mend. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. It's Friday before a 3 day weekend - WOOHOO!!!!!!!!
5/25 172.0 Still going the right direction. Got three miles in yesterday, trying to get another three in today between showers. Missouri is flooded everywhere. Trails are hard to find that aren’t underwater at least in spots. Some of my flowers look beautiful, some are so beat up I’m not sure they’ll recover.
5/26 172.2 Small uptick isn’t ideal but I got a little too into some Boom-Chicka popcorn last night. That’s ok. I measured every ridiculous bite.
5/27 170.9 Woohoo! This was my goal weight for the round. Good day, yesterday. Nephew and girlfriend came over and I played with the baby (now toddler 18 months). Brought out the pool she was too small for last year. She loved it but never sat down. She crouched the entire time. Love her. I should be able to get a walk in this morning. Maybe I could see 160’s if not this round, then the next one for sure.
5/28 172.0 TOM I think is the cause of this. I was under on calories, didn't go crazy on sodium, drank at least 64 oz of water and sweated like a pig for two hours doing yard work last night after shopping all day. I had 11,221 steps.... I didn't gain a pound overnight.
5/29 172.0 I can only assume this is Mother Nature reminding me that I'm not in charge. Oh well. I had a fast 3-mile walk last night. It should have been a gym night but the weather was so interesting I wanted to be outside. When I got home I even got the front yard mowed before the rain started. We had terrible tornados last night here in the Kansas City area. The wind was already fierce when I was walking, that's why I wanted to go - it's always kinda cool before they are scary. Terrible after but there is a certain feeling in the air in the hours leading up to it.
5/30 171.7 Still hoping for a drop before the end of the round. I did three miles yesterday. I did go a little crazy last night - Sprouts had my favorite dark chocolate orange jellies on sale and I bought some. Just 32 little calories each. I have been doing well with just having a few a night until last night. I probably had 10. OOPS. I guess I should be happier I didn't go up today
It's supposed to be nice tonight. I think I'll try to get in 4 miles. 13 -

Date/Weight/Comment
05/23:..162.4# Same as yesterday but down 1.4# from last week. Did gardening, weed pulling mostly outside for over an hour. Ate steak and potato with dinner so lucky not up. Got an hour weed pulling in this am already. Found small purple Irises that volunteered. Such a great reward.
05/24: 161.8 Down… yeah! Ate very light but healthy.
05/25: 161.8 Same as yesterday. Did at least 3 hours of gardening but ate spaghetti and meatballs in evening. I do better with carbs earlier in the day. My flower beds are looking better. Such a joy to see for me. Planted marigolds around mailbox for the mail man. LOL Going to lunch today. I’ll have salad and protein. Have a fun day everyone.
05/26: 161.4 Down a pound so far this round. Yeah! Gardened for.5 hour yesterday and ate 2 big salad with protein and small ice cream and wine. Turned down a fab dessert at lunch yesterday (pat on back). I had hoped to lose a pound this round so now I’ll aim for another half-pound for this round.
05/27: Can’t remember but was up some. Had one beer and some baby back ribs. Didn’t overeat but…
05/28: 164!!! Good grief; up 2.6# in 2 days. Ok, had one beer and a little(wing and drumstick) fried chicken. Didn’t eat a whole lot. Gotta get to 161.4 to hit goal for this round. That means losing 2.6 over the next few days. Hopefully some of this is water weight.
05/29: 163… it’s a yoyo world.
05/30: 163.2 Came down with cold and cough and ate lots of carbs… better today.

05/29-216.2 WOAH! Feeling bloated.
05/30-215 that’s better. Salt, sore muscles, not enough water could have led to the gain over those last few days.

05/23 148.8 on vacation in Nashville through Sunday so trying to get a workout in the morning since will have restaurant food most meals.
05/24 148.3 was severely lacking on water yesterday so going to try to amp it up today.
05/25 149.8, ok with anything this weekend since having a great time and won’t eat this way when get back on Monday
05/26 149.9, heading back home later this afternoon. Had Nashville hot chicken and it was so good. Very happy that’s not available where I live since no temptation now haha
05/27 151, back home and hoping I can get back in the 148s by the end of the round. I worked out for an hour today and ate really healthy so back on track!
05/28 150.1, planning on working out 60 minutes today and running errands after work that I put off yesterday when I caught up on sleep.
05/29 148.5, happy with how I’ve worked out and eaten the last two days. Should be able to continue today
05/30 147, great drop but skeptical I’m actually this weight since this is a new low. I think if I see a 146 this round I might break something doing a happy dance haha! I’m watching the basketball game tonight with some friends after a planned 60 minute workout so the 146 may have to wait to next round.

Round 7! My goals will be to walk at least 10,000 steps a day, drink at least 60 oz of water a day, and exercise when I have it scheduled on my calendar. I'm also going to start each round by updating my measurements. I've been wanting to do that for some time, but never seem to get around to it.
This is a busy time of year for me! We have our spring concert on the 23rd, the Memorial Day Parade on the 27th, a trip to Six Flags with the seniors on the 29th, and graduation on June 1st. I'll be happy with meeting my goals for this round. I will continue to weigh everyday, but it won't be my main focus.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 178.8 lb 19,482 steps, 50 oz of water, and I finally updated my measurements. I kept to two slices of pizza, mostly because the high schoolers ate the rest. Our spring concert is tonight! I might exercise this afternoon, but only if I get everything set-up for tonight by the end of the school day. I'll definitely be keeping my tradition of going out for beers afterwards. I think I'll be taking a half day tomorrow so I can get a jump start on cleaning my house and continuing to clean my yard for this weekend.
05/24 178.0 lb 27,251 steps, 54 oz of water, and several beers. The concert was great! The students always come together and create something magical. I did not get to exercise yesterday, but after conducting the concert, my Fitbit congratulated me on my "31 minute run". I'm planning on going to the gym and walking two miles with the dog this afternoon.
05/25 179.0 lb I got engaged today! 💖
05/26 DNW
05/27 DNW
05/28 DNW I've spent the last few days catching up with family and friends, which including drinking and eating more than usual, so I'm going to give myself a break on weighing in daily and get back in the habit on Saturday. I'll be walking the dog when I get home, I've refilled my water bottle once this morning, and I'm planning on doing an exercise DVD when I get home. Thank you all for the engagement congratulations. I'm so excited!
05/29 DNW We'll be at Six Flags all day with the seniors, we have the elementary school band concert tonight, and then we're going out for drinks. Busy busy!
05/30 DNW I'm feeling pretty dehydrated today. I only had about 20 oz of water and everything else was coffee, soda, or beer. I also ate unhealthy park food including bbq, pizza, and a funnel cake. At least I tracked 16,707 steps. I'll be drinking lots of water today, attempting to workout at home this afternoon, and then I need to go back to school for senior awards night. There will probably be drinks again tonight because my very favorite bar is located in the town I teach in.

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.
5/22 125.5
5/23 127.0 Ate at a Chinese restaurant. I had General Tso’s chicken and even ate some steamed rice. This is what high carb, junk carbs, do to me.
5/24 126.5 Going to Pahrump for lunch today, Aviators game tonight.
5/25 125.5 Had a lovely steak salad yesterday, half for early lunch and half dinner. Had no snacks at the ball game or at home. Sewing day today. May make Keto goodie to share. No adult beverages last night.
5/26 125.0
5/27 124.5 Yesterday we had champagne brunch. I ate bacon, sausage, scrambled egg, one small spring roll, one fried dumpling, some sautéed squash, 2 glasses of champagne. Later ate 1 Keto snickerdoodle, 6 sunflower seeds and a handful of pork rinds. Memorial Day picnic today

@quiltingjaine I should have guessed that first. DGD has a friend in KC, if she needs one. 3

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. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40.

May 23 - 176.8 - I had a fairly decent day yesterday. Managed to get a walk in and ate within calories.
May 24 - 176.4 - another decent day yesterday. Spent the day with Michaela, we planted some flowers and cleaned up the yard.
May 25 - 179.4 - I don’t believe this can be accurate. I will see tomorrow I guess.
May 26 - 179.8 - ugh this is mostly carbs and sodium I think. I haven’t eaten that much over my calorie goal. I need to go buy some fruits and veggies today.
May 27 - 179.6 - better day yesterday, it will take a few days for the carb weight to drop though.
May 28 - 177.8 - another good day yesterday. I need a lot more of these days.
May 29 - 177.6 - very busy day yesterday. Got a lot accomplished.
May 30 - 179.6 - high carb day again. I swear starting Tuesday I’m going to cut back on carbs for the month and see how I do. I’m doing it then instead of now because the Bachelorette is the weekend and I need my pay to get some groceries.8 -

05/22 …..194.6 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/23 …..194.6 ….. Hard to believe after another day of travel that the scale did not move in the wrong direction this time. I’m hoping it does not show up in a few days like it sometimes does. Good luck everyone this round!
05/24 …..195.8 ….. And there it is from the travels! Yesterdays stats: 2080 Calories In / 3034 Calories Out. 123 Net Carbs. 20,198 Total Steps & 8.66 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 37 minutes which was fabulous! I took a 44 minute walk in the neighborhood after my higher calorie/carb dinner.
05/25 …..195.8….. Holding steady but *%$#*^ I had LNS I should not even have in the house. Yesterdays Stats: 2376 Calories In / 2547 Calories Out. 114 Net Carbs. 15,123 Total Steps & 6.4 Total Miles. IF 16:8 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 44 minutes. I raked & hauled leaves for 52 minutes & I took a 22 minute walk after dinner.
05/26 …..194.7 ….. Yesterdays Stats: 1385 Calories In / 2504 Calories Out. 25 Net Carbs. 12,531 Total Steps & 5.3 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 11 minutes which felt great. I took a short 20 minute walk.
05/27 …..194.3 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1073 Calories In / 2643 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs mostly veggies. 14,371 Total Steps & 6.08 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 2 hours & 18 minutes so I will be very tired later. That left me a lot of “awake” hours which make the hunger & cravings worse, but I powered through.
05/28 …..195.1 ….. Holiday weight. Yesterdays stats as best calculated. 2480 Calories In / 2716 Calories Out. 170 Net Carbs (ouch!) 15,021 Total Steps & 6.36 Total Miles. IF 16:8 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 10 minutes. I woke up with a stiff neck again without having changed my pillow. I did 11 minutes on the elliptical & took a short 11 minute walk mid-afternoon. Moving on toward continued successes.
05/29 …..194.6 ….. Today I had to take my DB to the emergency room (about 60 miles each way from home). He is okay but will need to see a neurologist which will be located Gosh knows where. Lunch out of town. Okay choices but not perfect. Dinner tonight is back to plan so I’m proud it has not turned into a binge. Yesterdays stats: 1827 Calories In / 2839 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 14,641 Total Steps & 6.2 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 41 minutes. No planned exercise but I finished Spring Cleaning a cabin.
05/30 …..195.4 ….. All sitting yesterday during the long drive to the hospital & during the long sitting periods in the emergency room. The hospital serves several towns & counties so it is always packed. No movement, no steps & no calorie burn. All restaurant or vending foods. This trip was not planned & it showed up on the scale. Back to business today. This set-back will stop me from my goal, but I hope I can at LEAST get back to my starting point. Yesterdays sad stats: At best count 2386 Calories In / 2017 Calories Out. 137 Net Carbs. 6838 Total Steps & 2.89 Total Miles. I came home exhausted & stiff since I am not used to the amount of sitting done yesterday. Even the long trips for shopping & building supplies for my business offers some walking when I reach my desitination. Not an Emergency Room trip! I slept about 5 hours & 54 minutes last night & I woke up tired this morning. I have lots to do. Kitchen reno man will be coming today to do final sanding on some drywall. He is a local handyman that I use often but his hours are very limited. He is also supposed to put all new spark plugs & a general “tune-up” in my riding lawn mower & both of my push mowers because all of them are running bad. I will be doing some polyeurethaning to some trim boards outside (I’ve already done several coats of stain) & I will be doing a small amount of primering & painting in my livingroom (he moved a plug for me). I am going to do a small prep cook this afternoon before he arrives so I can finish out this round with some carefully planned foods.

Ending weight round 77 - 202.4
5/23 203 - I'm not too surprised to see this, I had Wingstop for dinner yesterday. I didn't have much, but I had a couple pieces of the boneless wings and I know that did it. Had a light and healthy breakfast this morning and will be having a poke salad for lunch today.
5/24 ??? - Spent the night at my boyfriends so no weigh in this morning. I had steak fajitas for dinner with my boyfriend's sister last night. Only had a few chips and one thin flour tortilla. Having those leftovers today for lunch along with a low carb breakfast and an iced coffee. Will weigh in when I get home or tomor morning. It's my brother's birthday today and we might be going out to dinner to celebrate. Hoping to stay strong this weekend!
5/25 202.6 - Really surprised I went down a little. Even though I had a light early lunch at work I ended up having Wendy's for lunch when I got home. We later went out to dinner at Dave and Busters for my brother's birthday. I had bites of things, but didn't have much. Woke up this morning feeling really nauseated, hope it all passes.
5/26 203 - Snacked on chips and had cheesecake, I know this weekend is off to a bad start. We also BBQ's ribs which is not too bad, but that bbq sauce got me.
5/27 203.6 -
5/28 204 - Like a lot of people I fell off the rails this Holiday weekend. I did eat mostly healthy for breakfast and lunch, but dinner messed me up along with having desserts to celebrate my brother's birthday. And the major contributor was me having chips, I know that really messed me up. I've also been really down this weekend. Found out one of my best friends is moving an hour away and she didn't even bother to tell me. So I've been in a weird funk because a lot of my close friends are drifting further apart from me and I feel pretty alone. I really am thankful for this challenge and group. Everyone is really friendly and this is the support I need in my life right now.
5/29 203.5- Yay! Happy I'm starting to go back down! My lunch yesterday was an Atkins pizza and a side salad and for dinner I took my parents out to the movies. I shared some popcorn and had a couple bites of fries and a couple chicken strips. I'm stepping out for lunch today and thinking of getting a Panera bread salad or a Chipotle salad bowl. Trying not to let my sadness from this weekend get to me and my boyfriend is planning a day for us to get away this weekend to the beach or Palm Springs, so I'm really excited about that. Going to make a healthy dinner and try to get in the gym or go for a walk today. Goal is to get my gym bag packed tonight so I can go right after work tomorrow.
5/30 203.9 - I had a feeling I would go up a little bit. I did have a Panera salad for lunch with the roll and for dinner I had a poke salad and only had half. My parents decided to BBQ burgers and I ended up having half of one. I also went for a walk with my dog so glad I got some steps in there. My mistake was having the leftover fries/hasbrown bites from dinner and eating that late at night. Bummed I haven't been on top of it this week, but I won't eat late tonight and will try to get more water in.

***ROUND 78 (my 8th)***
SW this round (5/22): 142.8
Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 142.8 The same weight as the past few days. So I am having a really tough time increasing my carbs, which is a strange thing for me! I only committed to do keto for one month to support my husband, and hopefully, to break the previous stall (which worked well). That was halfway through Round 75, and I've lost 10.8 lbs since then! Inches, too, a lot of them.
But. I did the keto thing for 2 years previously, and I don't want to go that route again as a lifestyle I can do forever (because I can't). And I don't want to risk blood vessel inflammation by suddenly eating the way I did before (sticking to my calorie limit, unlimited carbs), so I need to gradually add carbs. Why am I having trouble with this? I don't know.
05/24 144 Lol, broke that mini plateau, but not in the right direction! It's okay. I'm reading a lot about healthy carbs and I think I'll continue to gain a bit as I add some in, because they carry extra water. But if I hadn't stepped on the scale this morning, I would have been sure I'd lost weight. I feel good! Going to take measurements again at the end of this round.
05/25 142.2 Better! Still under 30 g of net carbs, and I will probably hover around this level for a lot of this round, as I'm shooting for 35. It's an interesting experiment to ditch the carbs and add them back in so thoughtfully. I've satisfied my sweet tooth with 85% dark chocolate (daily), diet sodas, and occasionally, awesome homemade keto desserts, but no added sugars, and that feels good. By the Fourth of July, I'll be having (portion-controlled) watermelon!
05/26 143.4 For me, keto= slow digestion now and then, and things are currently sitting in my stomach, so I'm not worried. This is food and water weight, not fat. Around 34 g net carbs yesterday.
05/27 142.2 33 net carbs yesterday. 5 days into this round, and I seem to be maintaining, not losing. Need to reevaluate what I'm doing.
05/28 143 37 net carbs yesterday. So low compared to the number I was having before keto, but I'm guessing it's enough of an increase this round to carry some extra water. It'll all sort out. I'm never over calories as best I can tell from weighing food carefully, so I know it's not that.
05/29 141 30 net carbs yesterday. YAY! It'll be different by tomorrow, but this is nice to see!
05/30 141.3 32 net carbs yesterday. Great to see this number again! Maybe I could break into the 139s next round???

05/23 - 183.0 - Mini whoosh. Back to documenting my days here. Went back and read my blogs and the daily insights are really helpful. I've been back to morning protein smoothie and packing lunch. Lots of seasoned tuna packets on low carb wraps for ultimate ease and squashing excuses.
05/24 - 183.4 - Yesterday did not go as planned. Had to roll with the punches but ended up eating out at a burger joint so feeling a little salty today. Retail job is giving me a lot more steps than normal though. Got breakfast sandwich this morning because out of almond milk but chose an egg white and swiss on multigrain for 240 cals instead of higher cal options. Packed my lunch though! Final wedding dress fitting tonight and 5 lbs up since last visit so fingers crossed!!!

05/28 186.6 - No surprise there as I went off the rails this holiday weekend. I did lots of physical activity as well though, so back to the habits today and moving on! The dress fit beautifully! Must remain around at or below 183 by June 22. Feeling so tired today thanks to my terrible eating this weekend though.
05/29 188.0 - Yep, consequence of my actions this weekend still. Definitely didnt drink enough water yesterday either. I know what I need to do...it includes healthy eating habits AND healthy sleeping and self care habits. The binge definitely came in part due to exhaustion so working to balance things out a bit!
05/30 186.6 -Terrible day yesterday. Bad car diagnosis led to a very stressful day and eating takeout from the grocery store...Need to work on my coping skills.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 390.4
05/24 390.6 (+0.2) I am back. Very stress. Selling my Dad’s building. Very hard going thru his clothes. My sister did not want to sale until he dies. Long story, but my Dad is going to be living a while and thankfully he seems to be adjusting well to the nursing home. Which is private pay. My sister did not want to sell because she was living rent free. I am power of attorney. I told her we could not afford to pay for two residences for my Dad and his money was not for us to pay for her residence when she can work. She finally moved and agreed to sale but our relationship is still strained and it only us two. But at least we are still talking even if not much. My Dad comes first. Now pity party is over and back to taking care of me. I will start back going to WW meetings Wed. Online only was not working. I need the weekly support and check ins. I am going to try checking in here more too on week days especially.
05/25 386.0 (-4.6)
05/26 385.6 (-0.4)
05/27 387.4 (+1.8) Not perfect over weekend but I definitely made some good choices. Last night at grocery store, made it out of there with NO sweets. Put back a slice of carrot. Picked up some fruit and fudge pop sicles. Have leftovers from yesterday.
05/28 388.4 (+1.0)
05/29 385.8 (-2.6) I went back to WW meeting today with old leader. Meeting was wonderful. Could not find a convenient Monday class so had to do a Wednesday. Reset my MFP ticker to home scale weight…..

I love below reminders from @TerriRichardson112 :flowerforyou:- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 147.3 Great start for this challenge; 0.5 drop from the end of the last challenge!!! So far this week have not seen the typical one pound increase/plateau but have been keeping carbs more stable lately. Have a relatively low carb day dinner planned (spinach/arugula with quinoa salad and grilled arctic char) so seeing if that might help with the usual bump that seems to occur each week! (also saved enough calories to enjoy a glass of wine and stay within target). Did weight circuit (legs) at the gym and then 45 minute step class - good workout! When I went to bathroom, saw what looked like small pea size blood clots, but urine looked OK otherwise. (I have been in menopause since I was 45 so not period related!) Checked it out with PCP this afternoon and no microscopic blood in urine, so supposed to check back if it re-occurs. Mystery for now, but she thought it could be exercise related or perhaps ibuprofen as had been taking as lower back was a little sore still.
05/24 147.4 small bump up, but typical. At least not the 1 lb bumps that I have seen previously. Went to gym this morning for flexibility/strength class and then spin for 45 minutes. Noticed that sweat smelled like ammonia (yuck) and did not have the same energy level for my workout. only had a cappuccino this am before working out (forgot to make overnight oats with yogurt and had to leave early so skipped even the yogurt) so likely burning protein and low on glucose. Yesterday was also lower carbs than usual so need to watch that I get enough healthy carbs relative to protein/fat to avoid this. Finished up at the gym with some walking on the track to cool down and then did my arm weight machine circuit as will be out of town Sat/Sun/Monday. While I felt I had plenty of energy for the arm circuit, having a three day rest away from the gym for the holiday weekend is probably a good break!
05/25 DNW out of town no scale/no gym so going to eat at maintenance level
05/26 DNW " "
05/27 DNW " "
05/28 145.8 Highly pleased when scale this morning read 145.8, a drop of 1.6 pounds from the last weigh in!!! (Although I won't be surprised if it goes up tomorrow!). Limited exercise while on vacation - just walking in town/beach and did some core body exercises each night. Tried to make good food decisions when eating out, although did have more wine than normal. Highlight was going through closet to find beach clothes and trying on the large linen pants from last year and finding that they were too big, and that the medium ones looked great! (getting close to halfway). Still need a large top as bust size as not changed as much as hips. Worked out at the gym this am - did leg weight machine regime and latin dance class, and may go back this evening for pilates for more stretching/core work.
05/29 147.2 Well not at all surprised that the 1.6 pound drop vanished overnight, as this does tend to happen after a big "whoosh" and I had a good run of 9 days without a big increase! Likely combination of the cardio/weight training (legs yesterday) and pasta for dinner, so expect that a lot of this is water, and hopefully will drop back down over the week (usual pattern). At least I felt well fueled for the spin class this morning and then upper body weight routine!!! Increased the weight for the chest press and some of the other exercises so feeling stronger. Have an appointment with nutritionist late this afternoon for monthly check in/tweak of diet. So far have lost 4.6 pounds this month, so slower pace than last month. Hopefully will end the month with a 5 pound loss!
05/30 145.8 Yeah!!!!! Back to 145.8 this morning, even with an extra glass of wine last night ! I was still at calorie goal, but probably need to not add the extra glass on a regular basis, as that was one of the reasons I got to my peak weight ! Should meet macros today so interested to see how the usual carb load (e.g. not the higher pasta carb load of Tuesday) combined with weight training (legs) and step aerobics plays out with water retention tomorrow, as exercise level today was comparable to Tuesday. Would be happy to try to tweak macros to reduce the big bumps up primarily for the psychological boost of seeing stability or drops, rather than increases :-) Of course if that were possible, I am sure that info would be more widespread and we would not be talking about nonlinear weight loss! In any case happy to see the drop!

Day - Weight - Comment
05/23 - 136.1 (-.8) - off to a good start. Did yoga yesterday and some other random cardio. Ate chips for the first time in awhile but didn’t go overboard, ate healthy otherwise. Not feeling bloated but I do feel sore from yoga.
05/24 - 136.4 (+.3) - feeling bloated. Food and exercise was good yesterday.
05/25 - 136.4 (0) - worked out quite a bit (yoga and cardio), drank 11 glasses of water, healthy food.
05/26 - 136.4 (0) - I believe TOM is hitting again in a few days causing water retention. Will see. Happy there hasn’t been a gain!
05/27 - 137 (+.6) - there’s the jump. It’s definitely water retention. DOMS, TOM coming.
05/28 - 137.1 (+.1) - eh will probably be like this for the next week or so with TOM. Eating right, water intake is good, and exercising.
05/29 - 136.6 (-.5) - right direction, hoping to see it drop more but likely will see water retention increase.
05/30 - 137 (+.4) - probably going to see back and forth into the next round. For now I’ll keep doing what I’m doing. Water, food, and exercise have all been on point.
