    01/08: xxx: Goals:
    Round 83: (Last round I posted for)
    Fri 12/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Still holding steady.
    Sat 13/07: 163.5: Goals: ✅ We finally got our we boat back in the water, and the new engine is so quiet, and no nasty fumes either. Result! Now all we need is a few warm sunny days to enjoy it.
    Sun 14/07: 164.2: Goals: Meh!!!
    Mon 15/07: 166.2: Goals: There are no excuses.
    I 😈 choose instant gratification over sensible eating at a family buffet yesterday. I haven't done that for some time. It did not go unpunished. My new healthy body rebelled big time. I spent an wretched evening feeling bloated and uncomfortable, with an extra big a big kick up the a** when I stepped on the scale this morning. Now, I know I haven't put on 2lbs of weight overnight, (though I may well have with the food I ate), and a lot of it is probably be water weight. But enough is enough, and too much is just plain daft. We all do daft things from time to time. The trick is to put it behind you and move on. I am choosing to have a few reset days of light eating to see if I can redress my blowout yesterday. Though if the truth be told, I have been sliding most of the week. I know this is only a blip. Nothing gets in my way when I'm on a mission.
    Goals: ✅ Later: Noticed I had the wrong date for my post this morning, so I’ve fixed it. Hopefully back on track.
    Tue 16/07: 164.0: Goals: ✅😁 Sticking close to my goals has paid off. It must have been water weight!
    Wed 17/07: 164.2: Goals: ✅ Normal fluctuation. Still keeping strong.
    Thu 18/07: 163.9: Goals: ✅normal fluctuations.
    Fri 19/07: 164.1: Goals: ✅Normal fluctuations!
    Sat 20/07: 163.8: Goals ✅
    With muscle %age improving, I'm happy that the scale is not increasing. I have no scale this week as I am on holiday, so I will give Round 84 a miss. Will be back with you for Round 85.
    Round 82:
    Tue 02/07: 162.4: Goals: Just trying to hold it steady.
    Wed 03/07: 162.5: Goals:
    Thu 04/07: 162.5: Goals: Had a busy day being foster mum to my daughter's 2 fur babies. Jack is very used to being with us, and is no trouble. Sydney is fairly new, and very nervous, and we haven't really got to know him until this week. DH is the doggie person in our house, but Sydney won't go near him, so I'm it! Worse than having a toddler in the house.
    Fri 05/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of walking and gardening today.
    Sat 06/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of garden work done today. Perfect weather with a bit of a breeze to take the edge off the heat.
    Sun 07/07: 162.6: Goals: ✅ Normal fluctuation.
    Mon 08/07: 162.5: Goals: Another plateau. 😏
    Tue 09/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Drat! The weekend caught up with me!
    Wed 10/07: 163.4: Goals: ✅ *sigh* Keeping on keeping on!
    Thu 11/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ I was quite disappointed with this result until I noticed my muscle %age has increased since last week. I have been working hard on lower body strength for a couple of weeks. Also yesterday, DH asked me if I had lost weight again. It just goes to show that Progress isn't always about the scale dropping. Looking forward to the next round, and making more progress! 😂

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • 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.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    Round 85 (Round 2 for me!)
    49
    5'2"
    SW: 140.6
    CW: 139.8
    GW: 128
    Goal this round: 137

    This is my second round. I only did the previous one for seven days because that’s when I came across this thread. I’m down -0.8 as of today. I feel like I should have done a little better than that considering the amount of exercise I did and the fact that I was tracking my food. My deficit for the week was about 3,000 calories, so I guess that correlates.

    I think I can do better this week. I’m away from home until Sunday so I won’t be able to weigh myself, but I still plan to track my food and get my workouts in. And something I learned this last week is I really need to make sure I’m drinking enough water every day.
