    Day/Weight/Comment
    07/21 …..195.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    07/22 …..198.2 ….. After DGS’ birthday party weigh-in. However, it’s the late night binge that bit me in the butt. During the party I took a nice walk on a foot trail around the lake to offset the food. It would have been okay if not for the binge later. I haven’t done that in awhile & was surprised by the horrific lack of control. 2793 Calories In / 3003 Calories Out. 16,678 Total Steps & 7.06 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 6 minutes which was badly needed. I took the hike/walk around the lake during the party, I took an intended brisk walk at home around the property & I fit in 14 minutes of aerobics burning over 3000 calories for the day. More calories out than in, but still an almost 3 pound weight gain overnight. I hope some of this is water because the sodium was definitely high. I don’t want to spend this entire round getting this back down including the upcoming travel. I’ll be working on this hard today.

    07/23 …..196.8 ….. Thrilled with scale. I drank lots of water yesterday & shed all night long which really helped to get rid of the excess bloat & sodium. I will make today another great day with diet. Calorie burn yesterday was phenomenal (worked hard to offset birthday party & upcoming travel.) I will be on point with diet but it is storming here so walking outside may not be possible. Also, no cabins to clean today. Just my own housework which is less vigorous. However, if storm clears up later I may be able to do more outside including gardening. Yesterday’s stats: 1293 Calories in / 3289 Whopping Calories Out!. 31 Net Carbs which included Spaghetti Squash Lasagna. 23,543 Total Steps & 10.04 Total Miles. Both are probably my record. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 50 minutes & woke up tired but am doing okay now. I walked for 60 minutes, rigorously cleaned cabins for 97 minutes & I danced for 51 minutes. Sample Song: β€œBlack Magic Woman” by Santana.

    07/24 …..196.2 ….. Travel Day. My new neighbor who doesn’t drive is going along with me for the ride. She has requested Chinese for lunch. It’s only fair she picks since she does not get out as much as I do to other towns. More sodium uggg, but I know what to do afterward. Water…water…water…. Yesterday was a good day. I ended the evening with a walk after the rain. Yesterday’s stats: 1121 Calories In / 2458 Calories Out. 28 Net Carbs. 12,207 Total Steps & 5.17 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 16 minutes. I walked 43 minutes, did 44 minutes of general light/moderate house cleaning. I am going to try to be mindful today & not turn a travel day into an all-night free-for-all. I’ll be traveling with my keto friendly snacks. I didn't sleep well but I'm feeling pretty good. I feel powerful today. I'm promising myself NO DONUT SHOP! It's a "treat" our town doesn't have & one I CANNOT afford right now!

    07/25 …..197.9 ….. After Travel weigh-in. I really don’t want to talk about it. It was lunch AND dinner out because of it being such a long day out of town afterall. Let’s just say that I’ve got some work to do. Traveling tomorrow and I will not be back until Sunday. I use a PC and I will not likely have access to a computer. I have an older phone but I can’t seem to get the app to work I’ll go by my daughters this evening for help. I would like to be able to log in while away on my phone. I hate to break my mfp streak. I hate to go away for the next 3 days but emotionally & socially it seems vital to me right now. It is odd & unexpected the way things change when your husband passes away and you are not longer a β€œcouple”. You feel more like a 5th wheel. Not at family events, but socially. This lady friend that I am going with was someone I met as a customer of mine this past spring. She is recently divorced and feels much of what I’ve been feeling the past 3 years. So this trip is important to both of us emotionally & socially. We plan on having great fun! It will be filled with lots of activities & food choices will not always be something I can 100% control, but I plan on doing my best, even though my best is just not good enough yet. Notice, I said YET. I’ll never give up the good fight!



    07/26 …..xxxxx ….. Travel begins.
    07/27 …..xxxxx ….. Travel. No scale.
    07/28 …..xxxxx ….. Travel, no morning scale.
    07/29 …..xxxxx ….. After travel weigh-in.
    07/30 …..xxxxx …..
    07/31 …..xxxxx …..

    I am back for this round and took several rounds off, but I don’t have the grand kids for 2 weeks and want to get back to tracking. I am not concentrating on anything but just getting back on track. I was finally able to get at least 2 walks in already that have been 2 hours long, happy about this. The humidity is supposed to break so next week will also be good for walking.

    07/22 208 lbs Spinning Class for 50 min, felt pretty good --- I'm a long way from where I used to be, though
    07/23 207.5 lbs Zumba Class for 60 min - felt awesome, if graceless. LOL Did well with my meals. Good day.
    07/24 206.9 lbs Nice weather, so an extra long walk with the dogs this morning. Really poor sleep, though.
    07/25 209 lbs I've got to pick one scale and a time of day and be consistent... I've weighed on 4 different scales with wildly different results. This is what I got today. Not gonna freak out. Had a GREAT workout - it was my break in with my trainer and I'm excited to work with her.
