07/29 - 228.6 - first big fluctuation in the 10 days... Interesting. I wonder if it's because I sweat a lot on Sunday. Maybe I didn't have enough water after the hot day.

Decided to shift my schedule slightly, so instead of doing dinner to dinner for my 48h fasts, I’ll be doing lunch to lunch. I’m actually gonna try a 72h fast to see if my struggles with 48 is mental or not 🤣
I suspect this is my cheat day at the pool party that is still showing up. With an EF IP I’m hoping to get this back down by Wednesday.

I ate too much at my art show reception yesterday and had salty stuff later, so this gain is water. I’m back on track today and foregoing flour and added sugar for the foreseeable future. I mulched my new garden for a good 90 minutes this morn8ng, and am going for a walk after dinner. Did I mention that the temperature has cooled WAY down? Yay!

7/23 - 162
Gaaa! That’s the delayed effect of Sunday. ‘Sokay. I was within my calorie goal and macros were good yesterday and I got plenty of exercise. Onward.

7/24 - 161
I went out for dinner with 3 friends and 2 very annoying women, one of whom never stopped talking (“me me my me” for the whole 3 hours. I ate responsibly there but came home and had a glass of Bailey’s, a bowl of ice cream, and a bag of popcorn. Sigh. I thought I was past that. Oh, well. I followed up with a note to the 3 friends to let them know I’ll meet them for lunch/dinner but won’t be back to the group. Really annoying when one person ruins things for everyone else. I did once ask her to let me finish what I was saying, to minimal effect (and two people thanked me later). Anyway, another beautiful day her. DH and I are off to see an art show, and then I plan to go for a long walk this afternoon and probably work in the garden.

7/25 - 161
Does anyone else hit “done” instead of “post reply” on the iPad app? Gaaa! I hate when I do that!

7/26 - 161
DH’s birthday, so I’m taking him out for late lunch. I plan to have broiled fish and behave myself, although I’m also baking him a cake. I think I’ll invite people over for dessert! I also plan to start laying brick tri. Around my garden, so that should burn some calories.

7/27 - 161.8
Not a surprise with lunch out yesterday.

7/28 - 162
My bad. Cake and ice cream last night (extending DH’s birthday!) and a salty lunch and, other than cake baking, not a lot of exercise. Fun, though!

7/29 - 161
Lazy lovely day yesterday. Today I’m off to see what’s on sale at one of my fav nurseries, then working in the garden before rain. Have a good week, all.

07/22 168.1 I'm a little bummed I didn't make my goal for Round 83. I really felt like I was retaining water the entire Round from my trip to Colorado and maybe still now. Two excellent parts of this weekend. Saturday morning I spent with my great-niece. We played in the shade at the park for almost an hour before it got too hot. Sunday it cooled down (heat index in the 110 area Saturday afternoon) after a storm and I walked 3 miles in the morning then met a girlfriend and walked 3.5 yesterday evening. It was beautiful, about 80 degrees and breezy.

I was glad she was with me because there was a crazy homeless guy on the trail. He just muttered to himself when he passed us so we didn't think too much about it other than it's very sad. When we turned around to go back he had stopped along the trail and unpacked his stuff all over the path. Which was very weird but not dangerous. Unfortunately, he had also started a fire in the woods burning a bunch of cables and other things that was giving off a chemical smell. Once we got well passed we called the fire department, about 5 minutes later we saw the truck and stopped them to explain where it was since there wasn't an address. He said don't worry, we saw the smoke already. It's so sad but at the same time, you don't know what people are going to do or what brought them to this terrible place.

07/23 169.1 After my 6.5 miles the day before I wasn't going to walk last night but it was soooooo nice that I had to walk a little. Just two miles in the neighborhood with my dog. The weight is TOM. Time will fix this problem. Meanwhile, it's CI/CO. Focus on health and not weight, blah blah blah. I found this link in another thread about water retention that I thought might help some. It helped me. I thought I had beat the water retention game but the last few weeks I haven't been able to lose the water. I think it's because of stress. I am VERY stressed right now with my home life. It did give me some mental relief that I wasn't going crazy.

07/24 169.9 This should drop in a few days. I walked three + miles last night. The weather is unseasonably pleasant. Usually, the end of July first of August is the hottest part of the year but we've got a week in the 80s with mild humidity. This is a small miracle for Missouri. It should be gym night but I'm struggling because it's beautiful outside.

07/25 167.7 Whooosh two stinky pounds! Happy days! I did go to the gym last night because it was 92 when I got off. I brought the clothes to go walking tonight. I didn't travel this week, and right now it doesn't look like I'm going anywhere next week. That should help with water retention. When it wasn't too hot and I could break up the drive with a walk in the middle it helped a little (I think).

07/26 167.7 All good. Walked my 3 miles last night on a trail I haven't been on in a few months. It's lovely for about a mile and boring for the rest. Within calorie goals even with a strawberry ice cream crunch I did have Chinese for lunch yesterday so I expected some water retention but it didn't happen. OR this weight does include water ??? Probably not but you can't blame a girl for trying

Happy Friday!

07/27 168.1 Walked one short mile in the woods but I got my friend to go with me. The rest of the day was a blur, shopping lunch, housework, grocery store, birthday party.

7/28 168.9 Too many birthday party snacks last night. It's hard to walk away from freshly made guacamole. Walked 3.5 miles with my Dusty dog in the woods. I wish it wouldn't have been so hot, I could have walked a lot more. The rest of the day doing housework and visiting with the kids and the baby.

7/29 No Scale I know I was over yesterday too. This birthday weekend thing is harder than anticipated. I went over both days. I guess I'll find out tomorrow what it means for the end of the round. One more dinner tonight and then I'm done with birthdays for another year.
AMEND: My coworkers had a surprise food day for my birthday. So two more meals but they made healthy snacks. I love the fact that they are honoring my lifestyle change (and not my diet).

My ultimate weight loss goal is to be 135

Day/Weight/Comment
‪07/22 157‬ this is about two pounds heavier than I normally am. Not sure what is with the fluctuation as I have consciously been eating healthier. Today I feel good. I am heading out of town for 3 days and I need something to keep me accountable . This is my first 10 day challenge
07/23 ???lbs no scale while I’m out of town. But I choose a healthy salad for eat out dinner and walked 3 miles exploring yesterday. Did strength training and crunches before heading out. Drank 100 oz of water.
07/24 ???lbs- still no scale, but I feel like I lost weight. Be interesting to see when I weigh Friday morning. Yesterday I went on a gorgeous 5.5 hike. Dinner out again last night. I’m a sucker for Mexican food I went slightly over my calories. Going to watch my calorie And carbs today, as I won’t be as active this day of the trip
07/25 ??? lbs- just got back in but want to wait until morning to weigh. Yesterday was a rough day no breakfast, big lunch then late night pizza dinner. Plus I didn’t drink as much water as I would have liked. What can I say I was enjoying my mini vacation. Friday through Sunday will be camping hopefully I can burn some calories on the kayak or swimming.
07/26 156lbs well I went on a getaway and lost a pound. Not going to complain, now if I can do the same while camping
07/27 camping
07/28camping
07/29 157 i was pretty active on the camping trip and mostly stayed in my calorie goal. Had some sweets and wine though. What’s really weird is yesterday when I got home I Weighed and my scale said 151. I thought there was no way that was right. Weighed myself several times that evening and same thing. But this morning back in the upper 150’s.

I am officially 5 rounds away from turning the big 4-0! That means I have 50 days to lose another 5 pounds and be below 140. When I started way back in July of 2018 I thought I would have already reached my goal, but alas I am still working on it, lol. My only goal this round is to see a new low and that my 10 day average continues to drop, however slow that may be and believe me the last couple of rounds it has been extremely slow.

Round 80: 148.7 - 148.0 down .7 Avg 147.22
Round 81: 148.0 - 146.5 down 1.5 Avg 147.87
Round 82: 146.5 - 146.3 down .2 Avg 146.93
Round 83: 146.3 - 145.9 down .4 Avg 146.72


07/22 - 147.3 up from yesterday, but had a good day. Did eat at the mall and then do some snacking while meal prepping for the week. So I am sure I will be back down soon. Finished my daughters room and all the school shopping for both girls. Dinner planned tonight and breakfast/lunches planned for the week. On track for today and should be an early night to bed. The youngest starts her last year of elementary tomorrow since she is in year around. Can't believe I will finally be done with that school. From my oldest to the youngest I have been going there continuously for the last 16 years!


07/23 - 146.7 I overate last night and did some snacking after I got home from work. I was starving all day yesterday and couldn't curve it for some reason. It was just one of those days I guess. For the next 9 days I am going to try and do absolutely no snacking before dinner, while cooking, or clean up after dinner. I am just eating to eat at that point and there is no point to it. So day 1 let's see how I do.

07/24 - 144.4 yes! Finally now all I have to do is keep it down and drop a couple more ounces before the end of the month. I can see that 143.xxx right around the corner. On track for today and dinner set for tonight!

07/25 - 143.1 New low and a huge drop! I almost cried when I saw this, I was so happy. We will see if it sticks tomorrow, but right now I am super thrilled with it! I almost have a 3 pound loss for the month, and I haven't had one of those since October. This made a new happy scale milestone (2 more to go), completes 35 pounds lost, I am officially in the "normal BMI" category by a couple of ounces, and I am at the top of my maintenance weight. I would like for my maintenance weight to be 138-143 eventually. I will see if I like it there and figure out what I want to do at that point. I am sure it will take me a while to get lower. This has been a pretty big month of weight loss, so I am totally expecting a jump up or to stay here for a while and I am completely ok with that. 6 days left to hold on and see what I can do. I have a tendency to let myself relax when I get comfortable and I am determined not to do that this time. I really want to see myself at 138.

07/26 - 143.1 I am shocked that this stayed the same. Maybe it is a real number. I snacked a little before dinner and then while cleaning up, so I was kind of worried this morning. Low cal day today and should be able to stay on track without any issues tonight. Would love to go into the weekend this low and be able to maintain the next 5 days. If I can finish the month at 143 or maybe even 142 something I will be thrilled.

07/27 - 141.7 I can’t believe I dropped even more. This month has been amazing! I am at almost 5 pounds lost and I never have months like that. I lose maybe a pound a month the last 4 or 5 months. I am so happy that it’s finally catching up and the scale is showing my hard work. It may go up over the weekend, but in super thrilled going in so low!

07/28 - 144.0 I hate that I eat a couple of carbs and boom 2 - 3 pounds overnight. Nice Japanese grill date night with hubby complete with korin beer and some saki. Water and better food options are in store for the rest of the day. Would like to end this month around 142 or back to 141!

07/29 - 144.4 The rest of Saturday night I am sure. Had shopping, laundry, and chores around the house all day yesterday, so my water was not as good as I would have liked. Today is planned and logged. Should have a nice drop tomorrow and hopefully will finish up this month and this round with a pretty good loss!
