08/21-210.9 - I had a super stressful morning and that is when I'd usually get McDonald's but I didn't!! I also passed on free A&W for lunch at work tomorrow. YESSS! Starting off strong!
08/22 - 209.1 - Last night was rough but I made it with a calorie deficit! I'm feeling really motivated.
08/23 -210.3 - Oh HELL NAW!! Lol well, I did have subway yesterday and went over on my sodium. Not a good way to start my Friday but I still made my salad for lunch. I've been weighing my food lately so I know it's not a true gain.
08/24 - 208.6 - Woohoooo! Buuut I must confess! I had a really crappy morning and ended up binge eating some chocolate chips. I'm trying really hard to separate my emotions from eating. I'm going to do what I can to salvage today but I have a feeling that the almost 1000 calories I consumed in chocolate and milk will reflect in tomorrow's weight. Oh well! It's a step forward regardless. At least I'm logging it and owning up to it instead of pretending it didnt happen!
08/25 - 209.7 - As I suspected!! Lol
08/26 - 210.9 - I had another not so great day yesterday. We went to the Keg and I went over my calories and consumed a lot of sodium so not my best couple of days. The good news is that I'm back on it today!!
08/27 - 209.9 - Well, at least it's going back down! I stayed within my calorie goal yesterday and still retaining some water. TOM.

Day/Weight/Comment

08/21 185.8 whaaa? I can't believe I'm back where I started from the beginning of last round! Dumb! but the upside is that my scale does "body fat percentage" and it was 2% lower than yesterday. Maybe all those empty fat cells are hanging on to some water and it's all gonna whoosh away! fingers crossed! Did incline ladders on the the treadmill and it went by so fast, I highly recommend it!

08/22 totally forgot to get on the scale today. we shall see what it says tomorrow.

08/23 186.0
08/24 184.8 recovered from salty dinner finally
08/25 185.8 weekend bouncing
08/26 184.0 I like this number better.
08/27 184.2 Not too bad. Hope to get BELOW 184 tomorrow! Would really like to finish this round lower than the last.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/21- 172.4 Today’s drop is probably just water weight. I played a lot of tennis yesterday in humid conditions so not getting too excited about the numbers yet.

08/22- 173.3 Just as I expected. Kept calories low but I figured the weight would go back up a little once I was properly hydrated. No planned activity yesterday or for the next few days. May need to get on the treadmill (which I hate!!!)

08/23- 174.4
08/24- 173.5 Activity: Tennis singles 1 hr 45 min
08/25- 173.5 Activity: Tennis singles 1 hr 30 min Just can’t seem to get motivated this week.
08/26- 172.6 Activity: Tennis doubles 90 min.
08/27- 173.1 Activity: Tennis singles 90 min.

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.

08/24 - 142.1 Was on point again yesterday. Cleaning, laundry, errands, and grocery shopping is on the to do list today. So hopefully I don’t fall off the wagon this weekend.

08/25 - 143.1 up a bit and no real reason that I should be. Had a couple of beers watching the Cowboys game last night so maybe it’s because of that. Going to lunch with family and having a fantasy football draft party tonight. So I’m expected to be up tomorrow a bit, but hopefully not to bad.

08/26 - 146.9 My normal Monday blip up. Had breakfast out yesterday morning and took a rest day. I am really sore for some reason today, maybe from all the activity I did on Saturday and I had a pretty restless nights sleep last night. Was hoping to be lower, but with everything going on right now, I am just happy that I am able to maintain at this point. I ate a few 100 calories over yesterday, but this is all sodium and water retention from not eating my normal foods. I should be back down by Tuesday and hopefully finish the month at 141. If I can do that it will at least give me a 2lb loss for the month.

08/27 - 144.1 It's amazing how much restaurant food and a Bloody Mary affect me. I was totally within calories, but the sodium that they must cook with kills me every time. We always go out and eat on Sunday's with a lot of our family just to catch up and stuff and I gain at least 3-4 pounds every time. I go home and drink tons of water afterwards, but it always shows on the scale the next morning. I'm so used to it by now that it doesn't even bother me. By tomorrow I will be back down to my normal 142.xxx and maybe see that elusive 141.xx before we leave on Friday for my FIL funeral in Texas.

08/25 - 206.4 - motived to make some changes. Back to MFP, started the day with a nice long 5.8 km walk to get Starbucks with the kids and dog.

08/26 - 204.8 - it’s nice to see how quickly I can bounce back with just a few changes but it’s also a reminder of just what a toll on my body the wrong choices make. Yesterday I was on focus until the end of the day. This morning started the day with a 2.6km walk with the dog. Healthy lunch packed for work - I got this!

08/27 - 204.8 - have to admit I was a little disappointed not to see the scale budge but I also know it’s not going to do that everyday. Yesterday I stayed focused with eating and took the dog for another 1.7km walk. It was pouring this morning so I skipped the morning walk. Hopefully it will be nicer this evening, if not treadmill it is. Plan to do a 30 day shred video as well. Lunch packed for the day, to stay on track

08/21 201.2 (-.4) had a late weigh In today. Got up and left the house early. This weigh in was after breakfast and lunch. So not too bad of results. Well see what tomorrow brings.

08/22 199.6 (-1.6) well this game as a shock to me. Although I felt I did pretty good with my calories. I wasn’t amazing. And I even went to the dodger game had a few drinks. I’m happy with the result. Now as long as I can keep this trend we’ll be great!

08/23 198.8 (-.8) staying focused. Staying on track. Even when i don’t want to. When i think I’m too tired I just keep going. I know I can do this!

08/24 199.6 (+.8) went over cal by a small amount. Didn’t work out at all. Had a rough day mentally and emotionally and just couldn’t do it. But thought I did pretty good with eating. Guess not

08/25 198.6 (-1.0) didn’t do great yesterday but didn’t do horrible. Worked out a little. Striving for a better today

08/26 199.0 (+.4) thought I had a good day yesterday. But looking forward to a better today and week. Weekends are always harder

08/27 198.6 (-.4) seems I keep the same trends. Maybe my scale only has certain numbers. I didn’t eat the best quality yesterday but I was way under calories.

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

I took the last round off as I dealt with some mental/emotional issues I was dealing with and even though I didn't post I did weigh every day. Now my head is back in the game and I am back for the next round.

Day/Weight/Comment

8/21:211.2 There are 3 snacks that I love to eat and that I can eat without problems from my food sensitivities. Usually I eat 2 or 3 of these snacks every evening even if I'm not hungry. So yesterday I told my husband that I would only allow myself one snack each evening and that he could call me out if I ate more than one. So, last night I had one snack and it was interesting as I really became more aware of whether I was truly hungry or not or whether it was just boredom that has me snacking in the evening. This morning I also didn't feel as bloated. Run tonight.
8/22:211.8 Was raining yesterday so no run. Going to go out today.
8/23:211.8 Went out for a run yesterday, started back with C25K after my hip injury, but started at week 4 and yesterday I finished W5D1. Also went to the gym this morning and did my weightlifting. BBQ at friend's house tonight. My husband made a GF lemon cake with buttercream frosting that we are bringing over, it's his first time trying the recipe and it looks really good...I hope it tastes good too.
8/24:212.5
8/25:212.3 Didn't post yesterday. I hardly had any water and ate salty food yesterday. Hubby is visiting his relatives today, so I am trying to figure out what I want to do today. I have been feeling a need to do some decluttering and organizing lately, but I don't know if I should do the kitchen or bedroom/closet. Trainer today.
8/26:212.5 Up and down and up and down. This is definitely due to me not being tight in my eating. I've just gotta get my head back in the game.
8/27:212.0 Was tempted to have a second treat yesterday, but I resisted instead went out for a long walk with my dog and husband. Tonight I saw my trainer. Wanted another treat today but then said to myself that I wasn't hungry. I had tea tonight for the first time in a long time...I am reducing my milk intake and instead had it with oat milk, it tasted really good.
