06/02: 200.6 - up a little but no exercise yesterday and eating out all day. Today will be the same.
06/03: 202.8 - agh!!
06/04: 202.0 - no exercise yesterday just lots of standing. Water ok but out for dinner again.
06/05: 200.2 - back to my start weight. Good day yesterday.
06/06: 200.0 - a little loss. 5k run yesterday and a 2k walk. Food was good but could have had more water.
06/07: 198.6 - much better. Good exercise, food and water yesterday. Now to hold on to that loss. Weekends are my downfall.
06/08: 199.4 - no exercise, picking all day and pizza for dinner, lots of water.
06/09: 198.4 - no exercise, food ok (calories not quality) and good with water

I am 52 y/o 5’1.5” from PA, and need to get my focus again, I struggled with round 78 and ended with a small gain. I have a ways to go to reach my ultimate goal of 110lbs. Weight loss is harder as you get older but not impossible. It definitely is a life time change and it tends to slow down quicker, and every day is a struggle. In the end I will get this and not beat myself up over mistakes.

Day/Weight/Comment

6/02 - I wasn't at home, so no weigh in this morning. 41g carbs, 36g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, crackers, peanut butter.

6/03 - 176.2 - 26g carbs, 25g net carbs. Carbs were: belgian waffle, ingredients in turkey burger.

6/04 - 177.2 - 30g carbs. Carbs were: 10 crackers. I'm becoming really disinterested in eating, which is not good.

6/05 - 6/05 - 176.8 - 17g carbs, 13g net carbs. Carbs were: beef au jus sauce, broccoli, guacamole.

6/06 - 178.2 - 40g carbs, 25g net carbs. Carbs were: 3 large croutons crushed, peanut butter, salad, avocado. Felt tired all day, ate peanut butter at 10pm, seems silly when about to go to bed. Not enough water yesterday. Been dealing poorly with some one else's life stress that has too easily become mine. Stress the past few weeks is now showing up as disinterest in eating and bloated abdomen from cortisol. 😕

6/07 - 176.4 - 42g carbs, 27g net carbs. Carbs were: broccoli, squash, salad, peanut butter, guacamole.

6/08 - 176.4 - 31g carbs, 24g net carbs. Carbs were: squash, salad, peanut butter.

6/09 - 176- 53g carbs, 44g net carbs. Carbs wer: salad, pumpkin seeds, peanut butter.

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!
6/7 – 171.6 – Pleased it did not go up! Mowed 4 acres of lawn and Mom had a few Dr’s Appts. Hoping to get more steps in today. Here is to another day of tiny wins!
6/8 – 170.4 – Now to keep this momentum! Enjoy the moments of the day everyone!
6/9 – 172.2 – Took a day off work and handling the household items. Ate all carbs and salt yesterday. Daily tracking of weight really allows me to see results of unhealthy choices. Now to be strong enough to say “no” to overeating whatever the scenario may be. Good thing I have projects and will up the water to flush my system. One day at a time…….

Day/Weight/Comment

6/2 - 159
We had a good time at Arab Fest yesterday - great food, and I ate what I wanted, but other than breakfast that was it for the day - falafel, hummus, pita, stuffed grape leaves, beautiful saffron rice, za’atar chips, baklava. Yum! I also had a lovely henna design put on my hand (see pic - sorry it’s so big) and enjoyed talking to the artist, an Afghan teacher now living in Indianapolis. Another calorie challenge coming up today with our UU picnic pitch-in, but I’ll try to behave. I have lots of walking plans for the week! Have a lovely Sunday, all!

6/3 - 161
OK, yuch but not unexpected after a weekend of indulgences. Some is water - I feel a little bloated and know I ate more salt than normal. I'm still aiming for my goal by the end of the round. It's a gorgeous day so I'm planning at least one long walk, plus garden work. Enjoy!

6/4 - 160.2
We went to Fazzoli's for lunch yesterday - not my choice - but other than indulging in a bread stick, I kept calories within bounds, and definitely within for the rest of the day. DH can eat pasta 'til the cows come home and never gain an ounce - no fair! It's raining now, but supposed to clear up, so I'm looking forward to a long walk later. If not, I'll hit the Y.

6/5 - 159.8
My calories were a little over my goal yesterday, but I worked several hours in the garden and dug out under the gait and laid pavers, so that burned a few. The forecast is for scattered T-storms all day, but I'll try to squeeze a walk in. We have a couple of guys coming tomorrow to dig out my new big flower beds -- can't wait to get started planting those! Happy hump day, all!

6/6 - 159.8
Anyone else sick of cloudy days? At least it's warm, and rain is sporadic. I'd just like a little sunshine. Oh well!

6/7 - 159.2
It’s a beautiful morning here. The guys didn’t start my garden beds yesterday but should be here this mornin* with shovels, edger, soil, and tiller. Yay! I think I need to go buy more plants! I won’t get to do much gardening tonight - potluck - but maybe a little this afternoon? Or tomorrow. Soon! Have a great weekend, all!

6/8 - no weigh

6/9 - 159.8
Friday night potluck and some emotional over-eating last night. Oh well. I have a book club potluck this evening but plan to eat a high-protein + veggie lunch and to behave myself, other than a piece of therhubarb ginger crisp I’m taking (sugar cut wayyyyy back from original recipe!) Rainy day here. Have a lovely!

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.

6/7 - 139.3. It might be a false low, I donated blood yesterday. Wins yesterday: RPM class, donated blood so I hydrated well. I did have the cookies after donation though 😉.

6/8 - 140.2. That’s the number of the round apparently! But it’s on me and completely expected. Went out for Mexican last night so I ate much heavier than usual and had a little ice cream too. And no exercise due to blood donation the day before. Back to the grind today.

6/9 140.4. There’s some more of the Mexican food from Friday! Wins yesterday: hydrated well, HIIT class and 2.75 mile walk. Not the best food day, over calorie goal but a small deficit. 2 days left - will I see a loss overall? Will work hard these next couple of days to stay focused.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/02 182.0 lb I tracked 14,065 steps and had 20 oz of water. Dinner was a lovely grilled steak at my fiance's parent's house. We're heading to my parents for the afternoon and then we'll take the dog for a walk and probably get take out for dinner.
06/03 183.2 lb Lazy day yesterday. I tracked 4,595 steps and didn't drink any actual water. I had one glass of wine, three beers, and a fried fish sandwich for dinner. Today, I'm getting back on track. I have my meals planned through dinner, I have a full water bottle, and I'm exercising at home between work and the last band boosters meeting of the year.
06/04 183.2 lb 10,751 steps were tracked and I had about 50 oz of water. I'm going to the gym this afternoon and then I have wind ensemble rehearsal from 7:00-9:00. We're having baked eggplant parm for dinner, so I'll keep my snacking to a minimum to be able to enjoy a nice serving. The weather has been lovely to walk in! I have a sorta NSV to report. Growing up, we always had overweight pets because we loved to give them treats. At my most recent vet check-up with my dog, the vet noted that she is a perfect weight and had lost some weight since our last visit. She's been my walking buddy for the last few months and I think all that exercise has positively impacted her!
06/05 182.6 lb 13,420 steps were tracked and I had 44 oz of water. I burned 300 calories on the elliptical at the gym and came in under calorie goals. I'll be doing an exercise dvd between work and pub trivia tonight and I'll be having leftover eggplant parm instead of bar food for dinner.
06/06 179.2 lb Just barely made my step goals with 10,558 steps. I had 54 oz of water and I completed level one of the 30 Day Shred. I'll be going to the gym after work and it's my night to cook dinner, so calories are completely under my control today. I'd love to see this weight again tomorrow!
06/07 180.8 lb I made my step goals and burned 300 calories at the gym yesterday. I'm taking my middle schoolers to a music festival today and then we're at an amusement park for 5 hours. I charged my Fitbit last night and forgot it on the charger, so no step tracking today.
06/08 180.8 lb Pretty pleased! I only had 37 oz of water and I know I made my step goal because I can feel it in my legs today. I had a small order of fries, a small slush, and half of a milk shake at the park and then I went out for Mexican food with my fiance. After catching up on yardwork, we're planning on going to a food truck festival today, so I'm having coffee for breakfast and I'll see if I feel like having dinner tonight. I'll be focusing on water intake and I won't be surprised to see a gain tomorrow, but hopefully it will be low.
06/09 180.4 lb Pleasantly surprised and mildly suspicious of this weigh-in. The food truck festival was a bust. We made it to the venue and the line to get into the festival had an estimated wait time of 90 minutes. We went out for seafood instead and were fine with it. I had no dinner to speak of other than a small homemade piña colada. 12,490 steps were tracked and I had 56 oz of water. I have a concert this afternoon with my wind ensemble and then I'm grocery shopping and meal prepping.

06/05 …..195.2 ….. This was a very bad day for me. So busy & all grab & go. I guesstimated over 2000 calories in & over 125 Net Carbs so the gain makes sense. Other stats: 2718 Calories Out. 14,511 Total Steps & 6.14 Miles. IF: 18:6 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 7 minutes. I danced 25 minutes in my small space of boxes. Sample song: “Bad Company” by Bad Company.
06/06 …..194.7 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1692 Calories In / 2303 Calories Out. 71 Net Carbs. 10,531 Total Steps & 4.41 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 12 minutes & woke up refreshed. I did 18 minutes on my brother’s elliptical.

06/07 …..194.7 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1616 Calories In / 2341 Calories Out. 63 Net Carbs. 10,486 Total Steps & 4.44 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & 6 hours & 9 minutes & woke up refreshed
06/08 …..194.5 ….. I Love every drop of my drop! Calories were good, Carbs a little high again but overall a good day which found me working on disturbing emergencies at the cabins & on my feet all day. I managed to fit in some planned exercise before the frenzy set in. I came very close to eating my emotions last night & decided instead to have some cubed cheddar cheese & a square of 90% cacao dark chocolate and some water. So glad I did. I am keeping within my desired calories but inching over my carbs. I’ve got to make better choices in my foods, clearly. Yesterdays stats: 1384 Calories In / 2876 Calories Out. 71 Net Carbs. 18.148 Total Steps & 7.68 Total Miles. IF 17:7. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 34 minutes in a bad up & down night of sleep due to being troubled over cabin emergencies. I walked 33 minutes at leisurely pace and I danced for 25 minutes. Sample song: “Hold on I’m Comin’” by Sam & Dave which helped me get my groove on, at least for awhile until #5 & #6 Duplex cabin flooded with broken pipe in the wall after plunging a connected clog. Now…..to find a plumber in this one horse town. Had to cancel reservations so this is already costly enough. (Dear Husband, I need you again. Won’t God let me borrow you, just for a moment???? }. Focusing on the health today. Yay, I dropped a bit & I feel like I will do well today. I hope to get in some prep cooking. Sorry, long post. Just want everyone to know that even on horrific days, we can make small changes to those old routines and not completely blow our plan.

06/09 …..194.2 ….. I waited all day for the plumber to arrive & he was a no-show. So typical of my area. Very little skilled labor & those who are in the know are lazy and/or unreliable. That is why it is so frustrating and worrysome. My losses are already at over $1000.00 and no end in sight! In regards to my weight loss journey, I have decided to try and move my eating window to later times since I am always so hungry late night. (I stay up very late for the motel/ until the bars close). This will push my weighing closer to my last meal which may increase my numbers a bit, but may help avoid the extreme hunger I sometimes feel that turns into a late-night binge. I had a good day yesterday, but busy on chores. Yesterdays stats: 1214 Calories In / 2753 Calories Out. 52 Net Carbs because of a special protein drink to assist with hair loss. 14,252 Total Steps & 6.03 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 12 minutes. My 8 hour eating window leaves me many many hours of having to resist food,grazing, & over-snacking during my very long day because I never get much sleep. Most days I sleep in the 4 hour range leaving me nearly 20 hours awake. I eat during 8 of them but I have an 11 or 12 hours window to contend with my cravings, temptations or hunger during which I am not allowed to eat or snack. That is a big window. I am working hard to figure it all out. A very overall successful day yesterday so the later eating window is working for now.
