I'm in and very excited for Round 85! The last two rounds have been busy for me, but I don't have a lot of other activities going on for the next 10 days, so I want to step everything up a little for this round.

Age: 31
Height: 5'8"
OSW - 169.8 lbs (Sep 2018)
RSW - 146.8 lbs
RGW - 146.0 lbs
UGW: 145 lbs

Round 81: SW 150.2, EW 149.6 (- 0.6 lb), Round Avg = 149.7
Round 82: SW 148.4, EW 148.2 (-0.2 lb), Round Avg = 148.3 (-1.4 lb)
Round 83: SW 148.0, EW 148.0 (+/- 0.0 lb), Round Avg = 148.2 (-0.1 lb)
Round 84: SW 148.4, EW 147.8 (-0.6 lb), Round Avg = 147.9 (-0.3 lb)

Round 85 Goals:
- Practice push-ups every day. I want to be able to do at least 5 on my toes without stopping by the end of August.
- 3 tumblers of water at work/day, 3 workouts/week, and 3 times walking around the neighborhood.
- Nearly every night I have a little sweet snack after we put the kid to bed...it usually fits into my calories, but I'm wondering if I really need it or if it's just a habit. I want to try to not have a late night sweet 5/10 days this round.

Day / Weight / Comment

08/01 - 146.8 I seem to have a very special ability to get a nice low weight on the first day of a round, so that it's hard to compare back to at the end! But I jest, I'm not complaining about any loss. Especially because yesterday I gave into those fast food cravings for lunch - but also made time for two back-to-back classes at the gym (a kettlebell/HIIT style class and a tough kickboxing class), tracked all the food and had a reasonable dinner, so it didn't throw off all my progress. Also, besides a couple of lunches out with coworkers, this is the first time I've bought food for lunch since May!
Now that we're in a new month, I'm done with the distractions of July and setting my sights on our beach trip at the end of the month. It was on our Labor Day beach trip last year that I realized how uncomfortable I felt in my body and that I wanted to make changes. So I'm very excited for the changes I've already made, and for the progress I know I can make in the next month. And that starts with this round!
08/02 - 145.6 Well that's 3 Fridays in a row seeing a 145 on the scale! The last two weeks I've gone up over the weekend, so I'm determined not to let that happen this time! Yesterday was good: I had a lot of water, ate soup for lunch and walked to some stores instead of driving, and I made a salad for dinner and packed another serving for my lunch today. I completed 8 continuous inclined pushups on my desk at work, and also a few at home on the kitchen counter. Also no late night dessert!
08/03 - 143.6 Well. Well. What. **NEW LOW**
What.
I checked like 6 times to make sure this wasn’t a mistake! I doubt it’ll stick around, but a pretty good feeling to know something was working “behind the scenes” even when I didn’t see that on the scale every day. Yesterday was actually closer to maintenance calories than deficit, so I wasn’t expecting this at all!
08/04 - 144.2
08/05 - 146.0 Well I guess I felt like I had some extra room to eat after that big drop on Saturday morning, so my weekend wasn't quite as on point as I wanted it to be, but still happy with where I am this morning! And I did some prep to set myself up for success this week: salad lunches packed, water bottles filled, going to the gym tonight and healthy dinners prepped. I'm going out of town Thursday evening, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to weigh in on the last 2 days, so I'd like to hit my goals before then!
08/06 - 144 Whoosh! Ok, that feels better! Yesterday was on track with my eating (no LNS!) and went to the gym for a conditioning and boxing workout. I worked hard, but still came home to practice my push-ups - feeling a little bit stronger already!
08/07 - 144.4 Normal fluctuation. Proud of myself for not throwing in the towel with dinner last night. I was making chicken enchilada zucchini boats (from SkinnyTaste), which I've made before and know that we liked, but they are more involved than some of the other recipes I make on weeknights. So we ended up eating kind of late, but it was really tasty. I made a note in my recipe app that this one needs some shortcuts or prep work in the future. And now we have a couple of days of leftovers available! But I got in my water, didn't have a snack after dinner, and practiced my push-ups. I was able to do 5 on my toes with breaks in between!

08/08 - 145 Some more upward movement which could be normal (TOM starting), could be the result of some poor decisions yesterday. But I refuse to be bummed about a weight that (up until last week), I hadn't seen on the scale in 3 years! Tuesday setbacks: ate fast food for lunch since I was craving it (as is typical for my TOM) and running errands and stayed up WAY late packing for my trip today. 3 hours of sleep does not make me feel super. Tuesday positives: didn't snack after that fast food, was able to squeeze in a weight lifting workout at the gym, ate healthy leftovers, and practiced a few inclined push-ups. Also NSV: in packing for the trip, I dug out several old shorts that I haven't attempted to try to wear in a few years. THEY FIT! And they're coming on vacation with me!
08/09 - 146.0
08/10 - DNW Out of town so did not weigh for the last day of the round. Overall, felt pretty good going into this weekend away (didn't even see a big TOM spike!). I was able to get in a small workout Friday morning and practiced my pushups and avoided some late night snacking. But there was a lot of eating and some drinking, so I do need to head over to Round 86 to get back on track!
