Round 85: SW - 123.9 | EW - 123.0 (-0.9)
Sunday, 8/11/19 - 123.3
Ok, back for my 2nd round. Lost .9 in my first round, but fluctuation was 2.8 over the course of the 10 days. Can’t explain it all, but hoping to learn from it for this round. See I am already up 0.3 over last round’s end.

Why?! Rode several miles on my bike Saturday and walked most of Sunday. And logged in everything I ate. So, why?! Never went over my allotted 1,200 calories for a day. Have to assume for now trend will be down again this round. Just frustrating. Trying really hard to be “good” in a sustainable way that could last long term.
Tuesday, 8/13/19 - 123.5
Back in the right direction. Would love to see something lower tomorrow as a bday present to myself for my conscious (but reasonable/sustainable) efforts.
Wednesday, 8/14/19. - 122.4
Sure this isn’t real - wasn’t very hungry yesterday for some reason. Nonetheless, I’ll take it for today and see where things go in the next few days. Always focused on not totally denying, just making better food choices the majority of the time. Know adding in strength training is on the to do list. Honestly not sure going to the gym is a reasonable goal with my long work hours and a family. Looked up “office exercises” and will see if I can incorporate some of these into my day. And Happy Birthday to me!
Thursday, 8/15/19 - 121.4
Hmmmm. This doesn’t make sense again. Sure this is temporary, but don’t know why. Yes, have been consciously eating and limiting snacking, but had nice bday dinner out last night and a glass of wine. Chose meal wisely and avoided bread in the table, but still had a nice date with my husband and enjoyed the experience. Assume numbers will go back up somewhat. Going to plug away and see what happens . . . .

Official bday family celebration last night. Actually ordered well. Problem was the kids got pizza and didn’t love it. Fancy restaurant pizza. But I liked it, especially all the crust they left! And had to have some of the dessert ordered for the table, even though I didn’t want and and actually am not a dessert person generally (more salt/chips obsessed). My current desire to lose some pounds and get more fit is personal to me. Didn’t want to answer to all at the table why I wasn’t partaking in my own bday dessert. About to start a week with no kids while they are both visiting my parents. Not sure how this will go - not tempted by them but my husband will want to go out most night because we can. Let’s see how this goes . . . .

8/11 169.1 I didn't post this weekend though I did track. Foodwise I was ok except for Saturday I was over by 300 or so calories. Basically at maintenance. Which is no biggie really other than the fact that I have somehow pulled my hamstring. I can't walk. I haven't walked since Thursday. My leg hurts when I do walk... My mental health state misses walking already. Sharing your house with two people is challenging, more so when one can't go upstairs or drive so they're in the living/kitchen/bathroom 24/7 and the other has mental health challenges. I did spend a lot of time with my great-niece. Please see the pic of miss Sassypants watching Toy Story and at the park with my convalescing friend. We ALL needed out of the house. Too bad it was so miserably hot even at 10:00 a.m.
8/12 168.2 Some of the water gone. The best way to get over this hamstring thing is rest. No walking for at least 2 weeks. I have been doing some research on exercises you can do with the injury. The two that are options for me are the stationary bike and the rowing machine. I've never tried the rowing machine I might give it a whirl over the next couple of weeks. I'm proud of myself that I'm not letting this stop my exercise schedule. Yes, it's going to jack with my schedule and I HATE that (OCD has many forms
) but it's not an excuse to sit on my booty. I won't lie the Saturday late-night muffin MIGHT have been a little self-pity but I woke up with the right mind-set on Sunday.
8/13 168.0 Right direction. No gym last night, I had a hair appointment. The pain in my leg has already lessened. Good on calories though I miss the extra I get with exercise. It's been the hottest days of the year so I couldn't have walked outside anyway. Last night at 9:02 my weather app said feels like 100 degrees Fahrenheit. WOOHOO, I'm ready for the Ber months already.
8/14 169.1 Why up? My only guess is the new exercise is causing me to retain water. I rode the stationary bike last night for just under an hour. I was able to get my heart rate up and actually kind of liked it. Tuesdays are normally weight night so I think I'll stick to that and avoid anything that stresses my legs. It's so easy to get discouraged when you really think - it should be down today and instead it's up. The Water Retention Variable... a daily weigher's arch-nemesis.
8/15 168.3 Back down. I rode the bike instead of weights. I wanted to do an hour since I wimped out the night before. I think I could do an hour Plus. I may try on Saturday when I have more time and people aren't at home waiting for me to cook dinner. I'll do weights tonight. I had my days all mixed up yesterday, I thought it was Tuesday. I'm glad it's Thursday and am ready for Friday. I'm tired. BF is taking his youngest to college this weekend and his oldest will go back next Friday. It will be so weird to have both gone.
8/16 167.4 Down again, I'll take it! I was low on calories yesterday, I wasn't trying just wasn't hungry enough. I wish there were more days like that. I spent my hour at the gym doing weights and avoiding things that would involve my hamstring. It only cut out a couple of machines. I will be back on the bike this weekend. It kind of makes me want to ride a real bike. Maybe when the weather cools off I'll rent a bike. That's something different that I use to love. Happy Friday!!!
8/17 166.4 This is the lowest weight in 16 or 17 years. It’s water weight gone because I ate at maintenance yesterday and didn’t work out. I was expecting no loss or a small gain so I’m thrilled. It’s rainy this morning, I’m going to sort thru clothes that need to go. I know I need to do some fall/winter clothes shopping and I ain’t mad.
8/18 167.3 Back up a little but I’m ok with it. I wasn’t that great yesterday. My only workout was house work and I had 4 delicious cookies that I’m not sorry I ate. Usually my have one rule works for me but those pecan sandy like butter thumbprint cookies with caramel in the middle and chocolate drizzled over are tooo good. I’m going to ride the bike at the gym today. An hour is the minimum, I have 3 extra cookies (600 or more calories) to work off! Enjoy this summer Sunday.

08/11 – 132.6 – Went to a birthday party and enjoyed a piece of cake. Following the kids must've helped balance it out.
08/12 – 133.0
08/13 – 132.4 – TOM. Didn’t eat enough calories yesterday and fell asleep early.
08/14 – 132.0 – Most of my calories were at the end of the day yesterday, which isn’t my normal but has happened a couple of times recently. I was having a busy, stressful, not good day. Used to be I would have eaten, instead I didn’t want to eat anything.
08/15 – 132.4
08/16 – 131.6 – Yesterday I scheduled my biometric check (for my employer’s insurance) for 9/11. I am actually kind of excited about it this year. 1-I am finally in a healthy weight range, 2-It is almost 4 weeks away so I am hoping to be in the 120s by then, 3-My fasting glucose was borderline last year, and after having gestational diabetes 3 years ago, I am hoping to see that come back in the normal range.

08/11 300.4 So close.
08/12 299.2 Yay!
08/13 299.8 First thank you everyone!! I’m far from the finish line, but it’s so nice to hit this point in my journey. It’s been a long time since I’ve been under 300. My next big goal is 250, that will be my lowest weight in about 20 years.
I’m not surprised by a bounce, I’m just happy that it’s not higher. Yesterday I was hungry and craving high calorie, high sodium foods. I knew that I wasn’t thirsty so I ended up opting for some high sodium soup that I could fit into my calories. I felt a lot better afterwards. My nsv yesterday was listening to what my body needed without going on a binge.
08/14 299.8 I’m okay with maintaining I’m still retaining some water from the high sodium day. I’m also a little stiff and sore this morning from deep cleaning and rearranging my kitchen. Lastly I’m still waiting for tom to show, but I’ve had a few of the signs that it should arrive in a few days. I struggled a lot less yesterday and even turned down ordering dinner in because of a stressful afternoon and instead stayed on plan. I’m really proud of myself for not turning to food and to deal with my stress.
08/15 299.4 Hopefully I’ll keep dropping I’d love some more distance from 300.
08/16 298.6 I was out and about yesterday and will probably be again today or tomorrow. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out and about, I hated being seen and hated how much effort it took just to get to the car. Because of this I planned a HUGE dinner because I hadn’t had much earlier in the day. However as I was measuring it out I stopped at about half my planned portions of everything going I think this is more than enough. In the past I would have easily eaten three times the amount I had planned to serve myself. As a result after dinner I was under 1200 calories for the day, so I treated myself to an ice cream bar that was well within my calories and macros.
All in all it was a very good day. My nsv was walking around Walmart, I hadn’t walked in a store for at least three years.
08/17 298.8 Tom finally arrived this morning, only 10 days late. This means I’ll drop some more soon, get my energy levels back up, and have less overly hungry days, at least until next month.
08/18 298.4

OSW-187 Sept. 2019
Goal this round: 159
I have my coffee with all of you each morning, checking in.
8/11-168-I had a giant burrito after all of the hot sweaty yard work yesterday. I am excited to be starting a new round!
8/12-170-I am glad it’s Monday. It is so much easier to eat healthier during the week.
8/13-167-Good food choices, no chips or a drink while I made dinner.😳My friend and I went horseback riding this morning and now I’ll do half of my big walk and start in on the laundry, housework and quilting......it’s supposed to be hot.
8/14-166-I’ve been eating my big meal at lunch and just having a protein shake at dinner and I feel so much better late in the evening without heavy food in me. I’ll get my 7 mile walk in and hopefully some yoga.
8/15-165-I hope I can keep the downward roll. I will walk, quilt and swim today. Later I will go help start setting up a fundraiser.
8/16-165-At least I stayed there.While we were setting up at the fundraiser, someone came around with a big tub of “evil” deep fried tortillas and I took one and ate it....why? I would have weighed a pound less this morning without that crap in me!
8/17-166- Lots of physical work setting up at a fundraiser yesterday, in the heat. It was nice that they fed us, but it was salty. I’m off to set up more today and work at the fundraiser tonight. It’s for a wonderful cause, it’s just so hot, whew!
8/18-170-After church this morning, we will go help take down the fundraiser. I haven’t been in my normal routine of big walks and a protein shake for dinner, just long hot days on my feet and odd food. Today is a good day to re-coop!8 -
Food -- cut out added sugars & flour products; focus on healthy plant-based foods with some fish & chicken. Calorie goal ~1400
Exercise -- Aim for a 4-6 mile walk most days; weights either working in garden/house or at gym.
Weight -- I don't like to set weight goals since I can control only what I eat & do, not what I weigh. However, my aim this round is to be consistently below 160, and my goal for the remainder of 2019 is 140 or less.

Whaaaaa??? Delayed reaction? Whatever it is, I’m pretty ticked off at myself. Sigh. But I have been eating better the past few days, so I have to think this is a fluke. We’ll see. Anyway, it’s a beautiful morning, so I’m off to a section of the river greenway I haven’t walked this summer. Then I plan to dig out old icky mulch piled on too thick by previous owners and replace with good stuff. Rain maybe later, so we’ll see. Life is good even with a few unwanted pounds.
I’ve been talking about my garden for the past couple of months and thought I’d show you the view from my patio yesterday — at the beginning of June, this was just grass and river rock.
8/16 - 162
It’s clear and low 80s today — perfect for a long walk and some garden work. Yeah! Have a lovely weekend, all!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 - 236.3 - was not as strict as I wanted to be yesterday; I didn’t log so I’m not 100% sure the “damage” but this is all about balance and being consistent when you can’t be perfect.
08/12 - DNW - skipped the scale intentionally this morning, didn’t want to make my Monday even Monday-y-er because of the fluctuations. Today I was spot on with eating though for the first time in a while. Who knew making good choices throughout the day would make it easier to stay under my target calories Lolol!
08/13 - 238.7 - 🙄; still plan on making today a good one.
08/14 - 238.7 - 🤷🏾♀️ have a work function tonight (and tomorrow actually). I will enjoy a glass of wine and try to keep the food choices light.
08/15 - DNW - choosing not to weigh for the next several days. Several work functions this week - I tried to make good choices (and made better than I would have otherwise) but not the best in water and wine 😂 I feel the water retention/bloat all the way down to my feet. Gym in the AM. Still checking in even though I am skipping the scale for my own sanity.
08/16 - DNW - water retention feels much less today thank God! Stayed in track today eating wise but did not make it to the gym as planned. Tomorrow!
08/17 - DNW
08/18 - 235.2 - feeling happy with that! Today I have a cleaning marathon ahead of me after my coffee/breakfast the weekends are mainly about keeping myself busy and having good options as far as food around.

08/14 …..197.8 …..
08/15 …..195.4 …..
08/16 …..196.0 ….. My own fault on a busy day yesterday (and today too). Moderate calories & too many carbs. Luckily I burned over 2700 cals, over 15,000 steps & over 6 miles walked. Slept over 6 hours people! Amazing. I walked 131 minutes yesterday & I painted cabins for 102 minutes so the extra calorie burn over my normal work was 1,111. That is all that saved me. Have a good weekend everyone & forgive me for tomorrow as I went to the fish fry tonight. I only ate half a meal but it was still too carby. But we’ll talk about that tomorrow! For now I am still trying to focus on the 10 day goal. 2 pounds, 2 pounds, 2 pounds. I have just one pound to go.
08/17 …..196.2 ….. TMI would help. OMAD yesterday along with a late-night approved snack. I am Proud of my restraint yesterday when out to dinner with a friend. Ate half my fish dinner & brought the other half home to my son. The scale rewarded me with only a small fluctuation which is more likely because of TMI (as quiltingjaine has so aptly named it). Yesterday’s stats: 1235 Calories In / 3188 Calories Out. 88 Net Total Carbs. 21,564 Total Steps & 9.14 Total Miles. 13/13 fitbit Step Hours & I slept 5 hours & 26 minutes & woke up refreshed & feeling great. I did 100 minutes of vigorous yard work, 81 minutes of heavy rigorous tourist cabin cleaning & I walked my neighborhood for 104 minutes moderately briskly including “the hill”. Total extra calorie burn was 1518. A beautiful sunny and warm day in Northern Michigan. Sadly I have a lot of indoor work to do. I hope to get out walking later.
08/18 …..196.0 ….. Good day yesterday but not much sleep last night. I woke up tired & groggy but I have many morning check-outs this morning so I had to get up. Yesterday’s stats: 1756 Calories In / 2779 Calories Out. 42 Net Carbs. 17,168 Total Steps & 7.26 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes. I did the elliptical for 11 minutes, Walked at slower pace for 85 minutes and walked with neighbor at a faster but moderate pace for 53 minutes. Total extra calorie burn was 852. Today I clean tourist cabins & do motel laundry all day. It will be busy.

@Hilogirl2018 I’m not currently on a ship but DH and I do like to cruise. I’m going on a 7 day next Saturday so I guess my exercise will be walking from one end of the ship to the other. However, I am accompanying the widow next door who has COPD so may I have to slow down a bit. I never seem to make it to the gym on board.4

08/12 151.6 spent the weekend at the cabin with company. Meals consisted of cheeseburgers, hot dogs and beer. All the great luxuries of summer. Back home and on track for the rest of the week.
08/13 150.2 not totally trusting my scale these days (Yesterday was higher than I think it should have been) but I’ll take it!
08/14 149.8 logged, stayed under calorie budget, and exercised. Yesterday was a good day.
08/15 150.0 yesterday was busy, active, great day. Workout, Volleyball, then the kids and I took hubby for a round of golf for his birthday. Came home and enjoyed a small piece of birthday cake and a family movie. Logged everything and stayed under budget.
08/16 150.4 weighed a little later than usual today. Had another good day yesterday. Met my goals of logging, staying under calorie budget and working out. Not much more I can do but patiently wait for that drop. My head is in a place where I’m not racing to drop a bunch of weight quickly, so I’m okay with waiting it out. This new mindset has everything to do with this community and reading posts from people who have been committed for multiple rounds. I have read your posts about gains, losses, and plateaus but generally see slow, steady progress which is so inspiring. With time and long term commitment it will happen! But...let’s be honest...a drop sooner than later would be nice. Lol. Thanks for posting everyone!
08/17 149.3. There it is.
08/18 150.2 Exercised, logged, went over calorie budget a little while enjoying a cupcake for my niece’s birthday.

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
8/10 120.5

08/11 121.0
08/12 120.0 Flying home this afternoon. Looking forward to hugging my DH, scratching my cat, and sleeping in my own bed, as well as seeing other family, friends, and neighbors. I will miss Mbabydoll.
08/13 121.0 Day after travel day. Ate a really not Keto lunch yesterday at Taco Bueno before heading to the airport. Did not have nearly enough water and had one adult beverage on the plane. I was exhausted when I got home. Going to lunch with friends today.
08/14 121.5 Lunch yesterday was not what I was hoping for. Chinese is on place that I know is going to be carby but this was mega carby! Travel+2crappy high carb days+2 days no TMI = this! It’s okay because this will take care of itself.
08/15 122.0 After weighing finally had a trip to the bathroom. More to come, if you get my drift! 😁
08/16 122.5 After I had some “brunch” yesterday I learned that our friends were treating us to dinner. Had I known that was the plan, I would have had only a small snack. I ate a little and ended up with a belly ache all evening. Need more water and more time in the bathroom! Got some groceries so I/we can eat at home.
08/17 121.5 Back to my normal eating. OMAD El Pollo Loco chicken leg and thigh with broccoli x2 and butter. A handful of Mac’s pork Cracklins in the evening and over 5 quarts of water during the day.
08/18 120.5 OMAD Quick Chili over lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.9 -
Round 85 was the successful round I’ve had in months! I hate having to put the same numbers in again but at least this time there was a loss. If I can keep this up for the next few rounds I should get to some new numbers soon!
Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 - 182.4 - I know a lot of the weight loss this week is water weight as I’ve been eating better and getting my water in it still feels good putting these numbers in though.
08/12 - 183.6 - had a bit of a splurge yesterday so this isn’t surprising.
08/13 - 182.8 - these fluctuations are it so hard to judge what I really weigh.
08/14 - 184.6 - not surprising since I ate crap yesterday.
08/15 - 183.8 - not a bad day yesterday, not enough water but didn’t eat everything in sight.
08/16 - 183.6 - my scale went crazy this morning and spent a lot of time trying to decide what weight I was. It went as high as 187 and as low as 181 before settling down. It normally does this a little but today took much longer to settle.
08/17 - 185.6 - way too much food yesterday
08/18 - 185.0 - if I could stay consistent with my food I could start actually losing again.

End weight for round 86 at or below 137.5
Drink 72 oz of water
Sleep 7+ hours every day
3 day juice pressed juice cleanse from Monday-Wednesday to counter the music festival food
08/11 139.5, walked 32,000 steps yesterday during the festival, and woke up thirsty so need to drink more water. Today I’m on one stage mostly so my legs can have a much deserved rest!
08/12 140, had a really fun weekend, but got sunburnt so aloe is my best friend right now. Back to regular eating and exercise.
08/13 139.7, back on my way down. It should be a good day of eating and have a exercise class after work. I have a happy hour with my sorority alum group in the city so going to join for a bit, but will get a club soda since had too much drinking over the weekend and really want a good sleep so can power through the rest of the week and make up for the weekend.
08/14 139.4, busy day at work, but signed up for a spin class with a friend that should hold me accountable. It is harder for me to cancel on a friend at the end of the day, even if I really dislike working out after a long day.
08/15 139.1, almost back to where I was at the end of the last round and hope to see that by Saturday. I have a happy hour tonight at a really nice venue so will save a bulk of my calories for some cheese and wine! Planning on doing 70 minutes at the gym to counter some of the fun I’ll have to tonight
08/16 139, fun night last night but staying home and refraining from drinking this weekend. Glad to be back to where I was at the end of last round.
08/17 138.9, off to the gym for 90 minutes (just elliptical) and then going to finally see spider man before it leaves theaters. Have work to do later tonight so dinner is already prepped at home.
08/18 138.8, in the right direction, but really hoping for a whoosh this or next round since getting impatient with the amount of work I’m doing. I have a feeling it’s going to be this slow for a lot of the remaining 18.8 lbs (happy scale trend is .5 lbs a week now)

Activity: (Played 1 ½ hours of singles)
8/14 – 175.0 No Exercise today.

8/17 – 175 Drinks with dinner last night. Hoping I can finish out the weekend with a loss but I usually have a harder time making good decisions on the weekends.

Round 86
Please join us! Starting on 08/11 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 86
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Goals this round: drop 2 lbs
08/11 - 207.6! Wow! Haven't seen a drop like this in a while. Very happy! Hoping I can maintain but probably wont tomorrow, cheated a little today on my macros but stuck to my calories. Had a special occasion today, so not holding the macro cheat against myself. Will do better with macros and exercise for the rest of the week though! Until then, grateful for the loss I had today
08/12 - 207.8! Up a little but so happy to see this number on the scale. Trying to do a good job of sticking to keto. Today is the first day of my fourth week and the first time I'm struggling with cravings. I just want a sandwich! Grr... Maybe it's a side effect of resisting so many temptations this weekend. Trying to stick to my macros and calories and to continue resisting. I'll try to find something keto friendly to scratch this itch so I dont obsess over cravings. Doing a youtube hiit workout today, love them
08/13 - 207.2! Back to my lowest weight in two years 🤩 frustrating how much easier it is to stick to diet and exercise goals when the scale shows progress, but awareness of this type of thing is the first step to changing. Still, I'm very motivated to stick to food and exercise goals today. Made an epic fresh tomato sauce w lean ground beef and zoodles. Excited to have it again for lunch today
08/14 - 208.6... *sigh* literally for the entire month of August, my weight has been bouncing up and down 1.5 lbs. Gotta keep working hard to get it back down low. I hope I can push through this plateau soon. It's been exactly two weeks of the same yo-yo despite strictly following keto. Will try not to let this bring me down. Had a good workout with my personal trainer today and will stick to calories/macros and hope for the vest tomorrow.
08/15 - 207.8! And back down goes the yo-yo... Had a good day yesterday, hoping for a other one today. Will probably make today a rest day bc I am so sore from yesterday, but will fit in some gentle yoga to stretch and work hard to stick to macros today. Gotta work hard to hopefully end this weight flux and keep pushing onwards and downwards
08/16 - 206.2!!! Wow, what a drop. So so happy but also nervous this is just a fluke and I'm about to fluctuate right back up tomorrow. Fingers crossed... In the meantime, sticking to my macros and exercising and hoping to maintain this loss through tomorrow and beyond
08/17 - 206.6! Up a little bit but not in the 207 or 208 range like I expected! Super happy 😊 stuck to keto and spent the whole day walking around. Was super hard because I was at a festival where all the food was fried, but I managed to resist temptation! Hoping to keep this new 206 development for weigh in tomorrow
08/18 - 206.6! No change is still a win because it's not an increase! Got my meal planning done for the week today, lots of delicious healthy keto meals on deck for the week. Doing chores in the backyard as my exercise and going to stick well to my calorie goals. Hoping to keep making progress

08/11 - 146.6
08/12 - 147.2 My weekend out of town wasn't a total free-for-all, but it did push the scale up a little more than I would have liked. Tired and not feeling well today, but using that as a reason to and not an excuse to not get back on track today!
08/13 - 145.8 Back down a little and physically feeling much better. Yesterday I could feel how slow and out of it I was, but I completed my boxing class as best I could, which helped a lot. I ate a frozen dinner but tracked it, and went to sleep early. Feeling like a new person today - and wearing yet another old pencil skirt to work! We have a family dinner out tonight so I have checked out the menu already and I have a few healthier options in mind for ordering so I don't set myself back too much.
08/14 - 146.6 Wasn't as good as I should have been at dinner, but still tracked it as best I could and didn't overstuff myself. Back on my shake, salad, and water today! If the weather cooperates, I'll try to get a neighborhood walk in too.
08/15 - 146.0 Up and down and up and down...weight loss is not linear...weigh loss is not linear. A drop is still a drop and as I'm getting closer to goal weight, things are slowing down. And I haven't been 100% on my game either, even though my calories are coming in fine. Tonight it will feel good to get back to the gym, and hopefully that will stir up some energy...I've been falling asleep super early all week! So no pushups and no walking, but at least I'm not staying up late to snack!
08/16 - 145.0 Feels like I've been floating around this weight for so long now, but it's really only been over the last two weeks! I did have a great kickboxing workout last night, and we threw together a dinner that I was able to easily track. I didn't have anything packed for lunch either, and didn't have any particular cravings for fast food, but I was very, very tempted to just go grab some because it was a quick option. Fortunately, I took some time to think it over, remind myself of other restaurants around my work area and use that to pick a healthier lunch option! Really looking forward to getting a meal plan going again for next week, which should help with closing out this round!
08/17 - 143.6 Started the day with a great cross-training fitness/MMA class! That and hitting my previous low weight from a few weeks ago kept me focused and helped to not blow my progress at a kid’s birthday party in the afternoon. Normally I’m all about the cake, but this one wasn’t even that good, so I took a few bites and threw it away.
08/18 - 143.4 **NEW LOW!** woohoo! Today is all about grocery shopping and meal prepping and planning for a successful week all around!

08/13 185.8 Well I'm just gonna jump right in here. It has been a long summer and i'm glad the kids are getting back to school now. I had to have surgery (2x!) for breast cancer and getting started with radiation next week. But overall I managed to maintain my weight and now I'm ready for the scale to start moving downward again. I would like to get close to 170 by the end of the year which might be a bit ambitious but I need my clothes to fit me again and all of my "big" stuff is feeling tight.
08/14 186.8 I'm not sure where this bump came from except that I actually put too much salt in my zoodles last night. Drinking water for sure. Did 45 minutes of hiit at the gym so that was good! Trying to think about how I can eat successfully tonight at the kid's back to school swim pizza party.. I'm bringing watermelon as my side contribution.
08/15 186.4 still hanging here. Radiology appt today was mainly just for informational purposes and appointment setting so I still don't know what my schedule will be with it. Feeling pretty good overall though. My youngest daughter is on the heavy side (she's 11) and we talked a bit about how sugar can cause inflammation in your body, which ended in a challenge for us both to avoid refined sugar until her birthday in 1 month. I am excited to see the changes in both body and awareness this will bring for us both!
08/16 185.0 much better! maybe my goal for this round is still attainable. Off to the gym this morning to get my steps in, with some light weights. I'm not trying to make any gains for the next couple of months but I AM trying to stay in the habit of physically getting to the gym.
08/17 184.8 did some (hot!) gardening this morning, bathed both the dogs, and I'm calling that a work out. Overall a good day, getting ready to send my daughter off to college
and I think I'm having a nice gin and tonic tonight. I plan on measuring the drinks so I can accurately log them. No fudging the numbers if I want to stay accountable!
08/18 185.4 well it doesn't look like I'll make my goal this round but that's ok. I ate well and have been staying within my calories so eventually it will go! drinking a lot of water today. Also need to grocery and get some vegetables. not a good thing when you are trying to lower calories and stay full!

08/11 - 131.8 (+0.5lbs) - DOMS from leg day 😓... loads of water retention. I’m sure it will come down in a few days.
🥘 Food was pretty good for most of the day but I did end up eating some sugar last night at a birthday party. I passed on all the alcohol and cake. So even though it’s not as clean as I’m used to, I did really well. That being said.. macros were a bit more off than normal, over on carbs. 😣

🥘 Food was ok, more added sugar than I’d like. I bought protein shakes w/sugar by mistake and will never do that again 🤦🏻♀️ that being the case carbs were higher than I would have liked. Still in a deficit though.

10th round for me. The start will be a challenge as we have one last trip with family to the mountains before school starts! Will take my road bike and hopefully will keep active or use the fitness center if there is a chance!

- start doing pushups
Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 130.6 Well I expected that after a record 3 pound loss at the end of last round that my weight would go back up - expect that a large part of that drop was water weight from being out in the sun/heat the last 3 days. Ended up with less exercise yesterday, but quads and right ankle definitely needed a rest. Was doing fine on food and even managed to fit in a tablespoon size scoop of homemade garlic ice cream, but DH opened a bag of fake fritos late last night after watching a movie, so yesterday ended up being sort of a cheat day - I definitely need one now and then and probably was under calories if I ate back exercise calories. Anyway expect the weight will stabilize over the next 10 days if I can keep up activity and log food while out of town. NSVs: MFP prediction for today was 133.5, so clearly under that and still tracking a 1.2 lb loss over 7 days and 5 for 30 days! Also while packing for trip to mountains, found a small black sleeveless silk dress in my closet that fits perfectly! Goal is to stay active on trip to the mountains and wear it out for dinner!

08/13 OoT
08/14 OoT
08/15 OoT
08/16 OoT Back home. Was able to have some leisurely activity during trip, but not sure if it was enough to offset all the wonderful meals. Will weigh in tomorrow am! At this point would be happy to break even for the round!
08/17 131.5 Well so far not breaking even for the round. But only a 0.9 increase while on vacation which is within the range of daily variability with changes in water weight/food retention etc, so not going to worry about the gain, but will focus on the few days left of this round. I have to remember that it it took me 12 years to get to my peak weight, and if I am consistent I can take it off within 12 months! Hit cardio hard this morning with a spin class and then some ab work later so getting back on track for exercise and will see what the scale says tomorrow!
08/18 132.4 Well that is not going in the right direction! Woke up feeling dehydrated and more bloated than normal. Spent time outside weeding like a mad dog in the heat, and just dripped sweat. Had ice water with me while outside (several refills) and tried hard to stay hydrated, but have a slight migraine now (too much sun, not enough water?) so going to take a rest and maybe do some exercise exercise later at home if I feel up to it. Unless a major whoosh materializes at the last minute, looking more and more like this will be the first round where I do not have a loss. In any case, this is a marathon and not a sprint to the finish!

08/11: 313.4 lbs (-1.3) ... a good way to start out the round! Completed Couch to 5k W1D3 this morning.
08/12: 313.9 lbs (+0.5) … small fluctuation, I’ll attribute to it a bigger dinner last night (steak!), though I was still under my budget. 6 mile bike ride this morning.
08/13: 313.2 lbs (-0.7) … good stuff! That matches my previous low. Letting myself rest a bit today cardio-wise.
08/14: 312.5 lbs (-0.7) … that’s a new low for me, and under my goal for this round… just need to hold onto that loss and not fluctuate up too much in the next six days. Completed Couch to 5k W2D1 this morning. I was very winded by the end of the jogging intervals, but I made it through them! Joined a gym this week and I’m going to check it out and poke at some strength training tonight for the first time.
08/15: 312.3 lbs (-0.2) … continuing my downward trend. It’s been a good week. Didn’t accomplish much at the gym, it was fairly overwhelming - so many machines/devices in there that I don’t have the faintest idea what to do with - so I just walked on the treadmill for a while and watched others. Signed up for 3 personal training sessions to get me started.
08/16: 312.9 lbs (+0.6) … small uptick. Honestly, I expected more than this. I forgot about dinner and didn’t eat until almost 10pm, which definitely showed on the scale this morning. I still have some soreness in my left leg and my stomach felt off this morning, so I decided to push my next run off a day.
08/17: 310.6 lbs (-2.3) … nice! Beat my previous low by 2lbs. Still need to run today, didn’t get to it this morning. Planning to do so this afternoon.
08/18: 312.2 lbs (+1.7) … I expected this. I treated myself to Chinese take out last night. Fit within my budget but was a bit more food (and more carbs) than I typically eat for dinner. Tasty though. Still below my goal for this round, so I’m happy.
