CW: 172.8
GW: 128
This round my goal is to reach 170 and incorporate more exercise into the mix. – Here we go!

6/2 – 172.0 – Spent the day cleaning out the shed. Not going to lie, sore today but so pleased this task is completed!
6/3 – 171.8 – The day did not go as planned and I was not very careful with my food choices. Today I will choose to be more diligent.
6/4 – 171.2 – Glad to see a little movement down this round. Yay! Did 17,500 steps yesterday by cleaning out the house again. I think I have a few more days of sorting then packing up the rest. I am thankful for the built in workout! LOL
6/5 – 172.8 – Emotional day all around. Led to eating too much food that my body does not need. I am disappointed, however at this point I just need to face the reality and today make a better choice.
6/6 – 171.6 – I had a better day and was more conscious of my food choices. Today hoping to get another long walk in and move some boxes around. Here is to a good day!

UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's

Goal for round 79 - get in 130’s and stay there!

6/2 -140.2. Shocked it didn’t go up as I took a day off completely from tracking. Even ate fast food for dinner. Guess it could show on the scale tomorrow, will see. Happy right now!

6/3 - 140.4. Wins yesterday: 2 workouts (just happened I met two different friends for active activities on the same day), but I did not track food and I don’t think I drank enough water. Back to tracking today with that goal of seeing the 130’s on a regular basis.

6/4 - 140.4. Holding steady. Time to tighten up that tracking and get myself in those 130's. Wins yesterday: 5 mile run, 3 mile walk. Ate out for lunch so a little heavier meal, but tried to balance that with a lighter dinner.

6/5 - 140.2. Wins yesterday: HIIT class and 3 mile walk. Didn’t eat great (hello, Oreo thin mints) but stayed in a deficit. Stuck in the low 140’s, need to avoid those Oreos today.

6/6 - 140.2. I really am stuck! Wins yesterday: bodypump class (which I don't love, but went because it fit the time I had free and a friend convinced me to go), 1 mile run afterward because it was global running day, and about 5 miles walked. Thought I did OK with food, stayed in a deficit. Need to get this number to drop.

Round 79 SW 172.1 TBD

6/2 169.6 Very happy to see this. Didn’t walk yesterday but worked in the yard for two hours. More dang branches. It's supposed that to be beautiful. My goal is more yard work and maybe a walk.

6/3 169.2 Did a little yard work and walked for three very slow but lovely miles. Kept my calories in check and drank a lot of water. I'm working from home today and will get in a little yard work this morning. Walking will be determined by when the rain starts.

6/4 170.1 Not too worried about this. I knew I wasn't completely done with the 17Xs but I hope to be by the end of this round. This was the plateau from hell. I was 17X for approximately 160 days. The same weight I stalled at when I lost weight before. My body apparently really likes to weigh 17X. It's over now and I can move on. I worked in my yard for 4 hours yesterday. Then an old friend came over and we went to a nice dinner. I was fairly good in that I had no dessert and I had a salad for dinner but this place has the best nachos I've ever had in my life. I have posted the pic so you understand. They are pot roast nachos and they are heaven. I only had one chip but my estimation is over 500 calories for it. I ate back 4 hours of work plus an extra 81 calories.

6/5 170.1 Getting less ok with the 170 anything. I was good on calories, walked 2 miles, and drank a ton of water. Why is it the same? Maybe leftover sodium from Monday's dinner?

6/6 170.0 Only walked a mile, I waited until 9:00 pm but it was still too hot. I stayed under on calories but yesterday was very stressful. My friend who is in the hospital had a set-back and it struck me hard because I feel if I was with him he'd be doing better but I can't be in Colorado. I have to work and my job is in Kansas City, it isn't a job I can do remotely for more than a day or two. My outlet for stress has been going to a remote trail and walking for an hour. The heat has stolen that pleasure at least for now, so I was being pouty about having to go to the gym. First world problems - I will take my junky butt to the gym tonight and stop feeling sorry for myself. I can't control what I can't control. I am not actually responsible for everyone I know.

Starting Smoothie Cleanse this week to get SERIOUS! Got in here a day late and am already up another 1.9. Was not good this weekend AT ALL and not going to continue going this direction!

Goals

• 5 runs and 10 walks!
• Not to be an asshat cuz I'm hungry!
• Remember why I am doing this!

2-Jun... 189.2...0.0
3-Jun... 190.8... 1.6
4-Jun... 188.2...-2.6
Having some serious back pain. But still getting in some exercise! Walking off 150 cals. Thank God for the Smoothie Cleanse
5-Jun... 185.8...-2.4
Saw the doc.. have to ride it out. Smoothie Cleanse is working with a 5 lb loss in 2 days. Doc said last time I weighed showed I am down 28 lbs... can't believe that.
6-Jun... 183.8... -2
Smoothie Cleanse to the rescue. Down another 2 lbs for a total loss on the cleanse in 3 days to 7 lbs and down 5.4 for this JGM10 challenge. The weekend is coming and hubby is cooking A LOT of food for church and have a date with some friends on Friday. Will drink my smoothie while there, stick to fruits and veggies for munchies and bring ONE bottle of prosecco. It's my go to at 90 cals a glass so if I go overboard, it won't completely derail my success. NO MEAT, NO WINE and NO BEER... just my smoothie and the snacks allowed!

Day/Weight/Comment
06/02: 145.7 Had been bouncing around from 145.8 to 147.x last 10 days week so happy to see a drop again. Today was my "rest" day but still did a slow routine on the elliptical using the Zone app to target HR, then lots of stretching and some ab routines. Swam a couple of laps (actually feeling better getting in a bathing suit in public) and realized that default workout app in Apple Watch does not track laps with a kick board, so looking into alternatives. Still trying to loosen up quads after the HIIT workout yesterday, so won't be surprised if weight does not go down or actually goes up tomorrow! Ate well today - dinner was grilled grouper, homemade guacamole & chips (measured to control carbs!), cabbage slaw with pumpkin seeds and rose.

06/03: 145.7 Yeah!!!! Weight did not go up - I needed that after last week's trend that looked more like a kid's version of the Rocky Mountains in profile. Plus I caved and had some more tortilla chips at 11 pm :-() In any case don't think it put me much over calorie budget! Quads felt looser after the spin class this am, but I decided to give the leg machines a rest today to let the quads recover some more and pick that up later in the week. I may switch the order and do weights for chest/upper back/arms later this evening. So far calories/macros good for the day, so hoping for a decrease for tomorrow! Half-way point is only 2.2 pounds away! So close, yet so far!

06/04: 143.7 wow - 2 lb drop!!!! Definitely a whoosh and will probably bounce back up a bit tomorrow, but will still take delight as any gain tomorrow is likely going to be water (as long as I stay in control for dinner/evening eating!) and now within 0.2 lbs of my short term goal of reaching midpoint to ultimate goal weight!!!! Went to circuit class last night rather than do weights so had a pretty intensive cardio day yesterday (total "active energy" based on Apple watch was 1220, which also includes walking, etc). Held off today on weights for legs, and just focused on arms/upper body this am. Less intensive cardio so far so may try to work in a short HIIT session on the spin bike before pilates later on.

06/05: 143.6 OK it is a small drop and holding steady after the whoosh, but really expected it to go up!!! Extremely happy that I am within 0.1 lbs of my midpoint weight!!!! Particularly thrilled since I had pasta (half of the size that I use to eat, but still satisfying - radiatore with fresh tomatoes, shrimp, olive oil, garlic and basil) so was wondering if higher carbs would lead to more water retention. Macros were all within usual bounds, with just more carbs at dinner, so not really an excess of carbs. Now last week I did have a 1+ lb increase after having carbs + heavy leg weight training, as well as the day when I had heavy leg weight training and no pasta/lower carbs so it might suggest that my weight is more sensitive to the weight training than variations in carb sources (most days carbs are vegetables/fruits/dairy sources). Today I had heavy leg weight training (but lower carbs for the day), so will be interested in weight tomorrow. Prediction right now is that it will increase. Will continue to collect the data as it is difficult to generalize based on small amounts of data!


06/06: 144.2 Went up as I had expected might be the case. Seems to be a response with the heavy weight training for legs, as was within calorie goals (well as close as I can be and did weigh the salmon and other items yesterday as well as prepare all of my own food). Even though weight went up by 0.6, I am still down 2.8 lbs over the last 7 days, so actually above my goal of 1-2 lbs a week. It will even out, but impatient to get to my midpoint weight! Needed to hook bra on middle set of hooks today (first drop there since February) so at least the clothes indicate improvement! Primarily cardio today - step class and may do tabata later and some weights for upper body. Need to work more on upper body strength as not as strong there as with legs.

Round 77: 147.8
Round 78: 146.1
Round 79 :

I’m ready for June and to get going on another round. I have absolutely no plans of traveling or taking time off of work in this round, so hoping to make some progress and see a new low! Would love to finally see that ever allusive 145.xxx!



06/2 - 148.7 same as yesterday which means I did well on a Saturday. Need to make some progress this month so I am really going to try and be good.

06/3 - 148.7 yeah!! Stayed the same through the weekend. On track today so far and hoping to see 147 something tomorrow. My daughter turns 17 today officially so we are doing enchiladas and cheesecake for dinner. Saving all my calories today for tonight and may only have a bite of the dessert. I am also doing my enchiladas without tortillas so that should save me on some of the carbs.

06/4 - 148.7 Still (4th day in a row), WTH! Stuck to my plan for dinner. I did my enchiladas over a bed of lettuce while everybody else had normal ones and I only had 3 bites of cheesecake without chocolate or caramel sauce versus an entire piece. Did well with water and no alcohol.

06/5 - 147.7 Finally some movement on the scale and luckily it's in the right direction! Staying on track and hoping for the best this month. I am 1.2 pounds away from my lowest weight last month (146.5), so waiting to see if I can make it back there this round. I ate a banana this morning for breakfast because I was running late and almost fell over when I entered it and found out how many carbs and calories there are in them. Guess I won't be grabbing that on the go anymore, should have taken the green apple. Oh well, lesson learned.

06/6 - 147.7 Well I can say this has probably been the most consistent round I have ever had. My hubby picked me up from work for a surprise lunch today and I am happy to say I did not blow the entire day. I had a burger wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun and a side salad instead of fries at Red Robin. It was not as good as the alternative, but I am really trying to break through this plateau I have been on. I have been super good, so I did what I needed to do. Hopefully I can see a pretty good drop soon. I have started tracking my steps as of yesterday too, so I am working up to 10,000 steps a day.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/02:

06/03: 199.1 Back on the band wagon and starting today. It’s been a while but checking into this group daily really helped me in the past. So I am back. Kids are away this week so I will use this time to reset my routine and reacquaint myself with the gym.

06/04: 197.1 (-1.3) NICE I know this is a big decrease for 1 day but I am just starting out so I will take it. I am hoping to be in the 195 area by the end of the round. I think that’s a reasonable goal. I am shooting for mini goals with my first one to be less than 190 by mid-July.

06/05: 197.3 (-0.5) Yesterday did not go quite as planned. Spent the entire day at the vet with my dog who needs surgery next week for a compressed spinal cord. Went over calories but I kept it in check as much as I could. Today back on track and brought my gym bag to workout after work

06/06: 196.8 (-0.5) Great day yesterday. I stayed below calories to make up for yesterday and made it to the gym. Twice so far this week which is more than I have been in months. My dog is having surgery next week and my husband is out of town. I have a contingency plan for the gym/ exercise depending on how long she stays in the vet hospital. I am not going to let this stop my newly found momentum.
