JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROOM 87

Round 87 – August 21 – 30
Female - 66, height 5’ Things getting back to a more even keel although still doing a lot of slow eating while my mouth adjusts. Goals this round – one good snack in the evening before 9:30 and nothing else. Ab exercise each day. Try to fit in a short walk a few times a week and doing stairs 5 times a day. (I broke first my left, then my right ankles a few years ago and am back to normal except going down stairs where I tend to hang onto the railing). Log on MFP for the whole day – I tend to get about ½ way through and then conveniently “forget” for the rest of the day and think “it was pretty good anyways.”

08/23 – 163.4 Good day yesterday on getting outside work done – so a couple of hours of digging should have offset my LNS but it doesn’t seem to work that way. It’s really hard not to eat anything if I’ve been working in the evening so am going to aim for a low cal. snack before 9:00 and keep the protein levels up so I’m not too hungry.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/21 138.4, difficult boxing class yesterday but made it through. Love that there are classes I can finish now that I would have been struggling with before. Happy hour after work today so will try to bank some calories for that.
08/22 138.4, ended up eating dinner really late (9:45pm) so happy to see this number. Back to normal today with all meals prepped at home. Hoping to combat any lingering weight gain from yesterday.
08/23 138, back to my lowest weight this weight loss journey and matches a five year low. 65.7% of the way to my goal so hoping to see 2/3rds by the end of the month. Going to food truck meetup tonight so weight might be up a bit tomorrow for sodium, but will keep my calories in check.

I'm back and hoping to get rid of the almost 10 pounds I "gained" in the last round. I know it isn't a real gain, but it's still very annoying. I was dealing with hormones and the a death in the family last round, so it just wasn't a great round for me. I have been doing this long enough to know that freaking out isn't going to do anything and I just need to get back on the horse and take care of business. I just found out we will be leaving on the last day of this round and going to Texas for my father-in-laws funeral services. So I have 10 days to get back down, so that I can take a 4 day weekend and hopefully do better than last weekend.

Round 83: 146.3 - 145.9 Avg 146.72
Round 84: 145.9 - 143.7 Avg 144.28
Round 85: 143.7 - 139.6 Avg 142.35
Round 86: 139.6 - 148.2 Avg 144.08


08/21 - 145.1 and just like that, there goes 3 pounds of sodium/stress weight overnight. Crazy what a little bit of water and eating at home does for you. Today is all set and I should be down more tomorrow. Things are finally calming down at home and after a long drive by the lake last night to clear our heads, my husband and I slept like babies. Amazing how you feel so different after a great nights sleep.

08/22 - 144.1 was within calories and probably would have been lower, but I chose to use soy sauce on my rice last night for dinner. So my sodium was way higher for the day than it should have been. As long as I can get back down to 142/141 something by the end of this round and stay there for a couple of days I will be happy.

08/23 - 142.1 And I am back here. I think this is a realistic weight for me right now. I have been at 142.xxx for 10 out of 23 days this month. I have been lower and higher, but it always comes back to here. Hopefully I can consistently see 141 before leaving next Friday, but you never know what's going to happen. Was very low cal all day yesterday and should be today as well.

08/23 151.8 - 6,100 TOM and with this new med, over the last few months, I fluctuate so much I’m not ever sure what I weigh anymore. But I’ve lost almost 70 lbs so I have to trust my process and stay the course.

Day/Weight/Comment:

08/21: 137.4 lbs - haven't worked out in a few days (self imposed hiatus to heal my shoulder/elbow) and had a salty late night snack last night, not a good choice. Tonight will be better - my late night snacking buddy will be out of town .

08/22: 136.0 lbs - hmmm, barely ate yesterday so this will probably go back up but pretty cool to see this number. I did work out just a little last night but am back to taking time off for a couple more days. Hoping my neck/shoulder/elbow is all better before my tournament this Sunday. No LNS yesterday.

08/23: 135.6 - maybe a week of not working out is just what my body needed. Planning to work out tomorrow and then I’ve got a big tournament Sunday, will see how the scale responds.

I just entered my first 10K since fall 2017 — it’s Oct 20, so I started training this morning. Had a lovely walk/run on our beautiful Rivergreenway. Yay!

My highest weight was 197# at 5’4”. I’m 48 years old.
I was 189# when I first started keto (1/1/18), and had gotten down to 150# before I let life interrupt me.

Round 83 (my round 1) SW - 165.5, AW - 163.25
Round 84 (my round 2) SW - 160, AW - 161.2
Round 85 (my round 3) SW - 159.5, AW - 158.75
Round 86 (my round 4) SW - 158.5, AW - 157.64

Round 86 (my round 5)
8/21 - 157.5 - the catch up from the carb-o-licious Monday. Made it to the pool and could actually get in finally! I’m 6 weeks post-op and my restrictions are lifted. T-minus 2 weeks until I return to work!
8/22 - 156.5 - the turn around in eating makes all the difference. And sticking to it. I was “lazy” yesterday. Swam, ran errands, watched Supernatural on Netflix, did very little cleaning, but I made sure to watch my food and drink my water. I’m hooked on “pork rind chips” for a crunchy snack lately. I can season them with whatever sounds good at the time and crunch away. Today is gym day and some serious cleaning.
8/23 - 157.5 - I’m sure the weight is water retention. I kicked my own booty in the gym yesterday!

11th round for me. Last round ended in a gain, so hoping to rectify that this time around! Challenges this round include the start of the new semester and increase time demands!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/21 128.8 Starting off in the right direction and below the ending weight from Round 85! Had a whoosh at the end of last round and worried that it would just bounce right back up at the start of this round. Yesterday was the first day of the first workout in the Strong workout program (an updated version of NROLW) so workout regime will be shifting this round. Bought a new scale with BF% etc so will be tracking that with increasing weight training. Interestingly both it and my old scale are in pretty close agreement (128.8 old vs 128.6 new) but higher than the Dr office scale today 127.8 (and at least 1 pound for clothing!) For consistency I am sticking with my scales. NSV: no longer pre-diabetic and LDL cholesterol dropped another 15%, down to 174; HDL-C increased to 101, while triglycerides dropped to 44 with exercise and diet changes! Dr no longer pushing statin! He expects since that it is responsive to current program it will drop further, so will check back in February, when I am hopefully in maintenance!
BF% 31.9%; Body Water 46.7%; Muscle Mass 82.4lb; Bone Mass 5.2 lb BMR 1228

08/22 127.5 Whoosh! getting back on track with long term trend line so just may recover for August! BMI is now in the 25's and 0.4 lbs away from the big 50! (hopefully this round :-) Met goal for round, but with whooshes and strength training days, I often see an increase the next day, so not counting any chickens until the end of the round!
BF% 31.5%; Body Water 47.0%; Muscle mass 82.0 lb; Bone Mass 5.2 lb BMR 1223

08/23 126.6 Whoosh number 2 ?!?! will take it while it lasts, but making up the gain from last round! The kids had a sleep over tonight so DH and I planned a nice dinner out (after 2 full days of a dept retreat which culminated with wine/cheese). Likely over calories for the day (gave up tracking carefully after a couple of glasses), but NSV was that I hit the 50 lbs lost mark today!!!! (may get to celebrate this again later in the round given tonight's calories but need to take time to celebrate the wins! Given that the last few days I was under goal for calories, a "zigzag" refeed may be helpful. In any case, will weigh in tomorrow and hit the gym as still have another 16.6 lbs to go!
BF% 31.3%; Body water 47.1%; Muscle Mass 81.8 lb; Bone Mass 5.2 lb; BMR 1222
