08/25 162.2 just back from holidays, I tried to be careful but it’s so easy to get caught up with all the family meals and get togethers! I’m planning a run later today. I’m doing the Couch to 5k Program and this week I'm going to do my "week 3" over again as I haven’t run for a few days and there is hot weather planned this week.
08/26 161.2 (-1.0lbs) Cool ! I hope it continues to go down like that 😊 I went running yesterday and it also went better than I expected. It’s nice to feel like I’m getting back into the routine so quickly. My meals are made for today so I just have to stick to what’s been planned!
08/27 161.2 (-0.0) 10.032 steps. Status quo. Not surprising really, It’s back to work and catching up on things so asides from my steps, which I squeezed in yesterday evening, I didn’t do much. Weather is supposed to be very hot today, I had planned a run but I will see how hot it gets this evening.
08/28 160.2 (-1.0) 13.745 steps, run W3D3. A good loss but then I generally do loose well the day after a run, I wouldn’t be surprised if it went back up a bit tomorrow! Otherwise a good day foodwise and everything is quite easy going. I know next week will be a different story with the back to school madness which always seems to happen beginning of September however well I’m prepared!
08/29 159.8 (-0.4) 15.501 steps, Yes! This is only the second time I’ve seen 15x.x in 10 years! I didn’t expect another loss even though I did have a good calorie deficit yesterday. Really quite chuffed! Today I’ll be doing less steps but going to try W4D1 run. I think I’m going to take public transport to go a good distance away and “run” home lol 😉 I’m sooooo hoping I can keep this loss for the end of the round but we’ll see how it goes as it seems a bit too good to be true

great that you're going back to the gym!! If you're starting runing I can recommend the "couch to 5k" system, there are several apps out there for free! keep us posted
Thanks - I completed the C25K earlier this year and loved it. I found I had to repeat a few weeks and now I use the Nike Run Club app which I also love. The gym is just down the road and includes a personal trainer so I'll be there at 5am!! I might switch the running and the gym over and do gym 3 times a week....not sure and grateful for any advice from experienced exercisers.
That's great! I'll look up the Nike Run Club which I hadn't seen, I've also been looking at the MapMyRun app to follow up after the C2k5 one. 5 Am is sooo early to get to the gym, that's admirable! I run outside, I've tried the treadmill but find it harder as there's very few distractions but will probably go back to the gym for winter months. I also try to cycle to work most days and I'd like to add swimming once a week for 1h1 -

Day/Weight/Comment
08/21 – 141 – Due to a couple medical issues I’ve just discovered, I’m having to restrict a number of my food choices. Most of them involve any type of fat. Since I also have to increase my water intake, it will be interesting to see how my weight fluctuates.
08/22 – 141.5 – I’m definitely trending lower this week than I have for a while.
08/23 – 140.5 – Good start for the weekend.
08/24 - 140
08/25 - 140.5
08/26 - 140 - I was extra careful this weekend, even with a family picnic, because I was too afraid to eat much fat. I have some medical tests this week to determine my course of action. In the meantime, although I'm happy with my weight right now, it won't hurt me if I lose a few extra pounds.
08/27 – 141 – I had a little extra salt yesterday and I did not drink enough water.
08/28 – 140.5 – OK!
08/29 – 140.5 – Still OK!

Round 87 goals: be consistent. Low carb, no alcoholic beverages,
08/21: 212. This is to be expected. Big Chinese buffet last night for DSs birthday. I had planned a fast for the rest of the week but I think it might be a better idea to wait and just be consistent with low calories & proper macros for this round
08/22 209.2. There we go, bye bye Chinese buffet! Hopefully the rest of this round goes like yesterday. I am not getting any organized exercise but I was active yesterday.
08/23: 207.8. I just need to remember to trust that my body works & that it will release the weight if I do the work. I am glad I made the decision to not fast this round. This is all just water loss from some not so decisions last week. I feel prepared to continue to make good decisions today.
08/24: 207.8. I am having a good on track week. I wanted chocolate. I wanted a drink, but resisted. I expect today to be more of the same. I have to work, so no yoga, but I am up early so I will go for a sunrise walk. My dog is already up & anxiously waiting as well.
08/25: 209… irritating. I logged my food, did not snack, had no alcohol, got 10 000+ steps… oh well. I need to trust that my body knows what it is doing. Retaining water for some mysterious purpose. I will continue to be consistent.
08/26: 209. Stubborn body… I again got 10000+ steps & was relatively active. Enjoyed a beautiful day, mostly outside, took a nap. I snacked a little & had a gin & tonic. Not a perfect day, but it was a relaxing restorative day. Today it is back to the grind, but I only plan to work the morning as I am NOT missing yoga.
08/27. 209: i am due for a whoosh! My body always holds on to water when I exercise. I ate well, was within my calorie & macro goals, but I took a sunrise walk & did hot yoga. I am anxious to lose weight for a cruise at the end of October. My body obviously is not in tune with my goals.
08/28: 209. Maintenance was definitely not my plan for this round. My clothes are actually feeling looser so something is happening while my body is not releasing this water. TOM is scheduled for today so that might have something to do with the scale not moving my cycles are getting farther apart so there are probably lots of female hormones driving this lack of scale movement
08/29: 209 wow! At least I am consistent. I am donating blood today so if the scale does change I am shopping for a new one!

08/21: 311.9 lbs (+0.4) … small uptick. Carby dinner last night (pizza) was probably a major factor in this. Not concerned about it at all.
08/22: 312.0 lbs (+0.1)
08/23: 311.9 lbs (-0.1) … been holding steady for a few days now.
08/24: 310.8 lbs (-1.1) … nice. Very close to my previous low.
08/25: 308.5 lbs (-2.3) … wow. Eating closer to my budget but walked around all day on Saturday, took kiddo to the zoo.
08/26: 307.8 lbs (-0.7) … !!! I was almost certain the scale was going to show an uptick this morning. I ate a fairly large sized dinner pretty late. Repeated Couch to 5k Week 2 Day 3 this morning and it went really well. No pain and the intervals were much easier than my last run. I think I’m ready to move on. Great way to start off the week!
08/27: 309.2 lbs (+1.4) … water weight fluctuations. No other explanation, really… as yesterday was pretty ideal for me. Just under 1800 calories in, burned a good deal of them between a morning run and 10,000 steps throughout the day. It’ll pass… and this weight is still under my goal for this round.
08/28: 307.2 lbs (-2.0) … new low weight. Between that and a very positive doctor appointment this morning, I’m pretty happy. Took a really nice (and really tiring) 12 mile bike ride last night, but today will be a rest day.
08/29: 310.5 lbs (+3.3) … oof. A larger, carb-laden, salty dinner around 9pm last night was a huge mistake, ha.
08/30: Todo: Couch to 5k Week 3 Day 1. Postponed a day due to rain.

08/29 - DNW - Failed last night. Ordered pizza because I ended up having to go to BF's house to pick up something to ship to him and didn't have food available. And the poor pup is so tired of being in the kennel so I played with her until it was too late to go shopping and make dinner. Oh well. Tonight should be better. Made my water goal yesterday so hopefully I can do so again today. Lots of tea drinking so I could stay warm but decaf lemon and decaf green just for a little warmth and flavor got me where I wanted to be so I won't complain.
08/30
Previous Day's Comments08/27 - DNW Just got back from vacation with the BF in Arizona. I've never been and he's there for training so I hopped on a plane and went to visit him and explore. So needed but it really is awful coming back. Especially coming back to his house and he's not there. It was weird being at his place without him before my vacation but it hit me so hard walking in after I flew back yesterday. I may not weigh this round just so my body can adjust back from jet lag, lack of water (if I wasn't flying, I was driving), and inability to make food, thus having to eat out every meal. Oh and this cold! It was triple digits there for a full weekend and I come back to wake up this morning to 63 degrees! Half of what I experienced this weekend. Waaaah. I need to move someplace perpetually warm. At least it was nice enough to swim at 10pm there! Got good exercise in that
08/28 - So I stepped on the scale this morning and it flashed 160 and then a few 159 numbers before I stepped off (didn't want an exact weight, just want a baseline as I come off vacation and a few weeks of work travel that royally messed with me). Its so cold out now for me (we hit 57 on the drive in today! Eek) so I'm all bundled up. Going to try to drink more water today than yesterday and keep going until I'm back at my goal. Going to try to watch what I eat a little better, especially since BF is gone until next Friday. Hopefully with some good hydration and a few days of better eating, it'll drop off pretty quick. Nothing is ever easy with me but I'm hoping that by not looking at the scale for awhile (minus today's very vague baseline) I'll be able to focus on the health side and not the weight loss side.

8/21 No Scale I'm in St.L this week. Drove down yesterday. I stopped at the gym before the hotel and rode the stationary bike for an hour. I did 13.5 miles. Tomorrow will be two weeks without walking. My leg is definitely better but it still bothers me a little. I'm ready to get back on the trail. The bike is nice enough but I miss being outside and alone. Last night I was the only person on 10 bikes and a dude has to sit right beside me. There were nine other bikes just like mine and 5 or 6 of the other style.
8/22 No Scale I was fine on calories but OH the sodium. I walked over 10K steps yesterday just shopping and not "walking" on the trail. The first time in 2 weeks and my legs were sore and tired. I had really wanted to walk tonight and it looks like the weather might agree. We'll see. Meanwhile, I thought this meme was good for this group. It's how I feel about my weight loss journey.
8/23-8/25 I didn't weigh this weekend. I needed a break. I walked on my favorite trail Friday on the way home. Only two miles but it felt great to be out. Saturday I took the toddler for a walk. I only went a mile but it took us an hour and I carried a 25-pound kid with me for at least a quarter of that mile. The trail I took her on was in the woods, she kept looking around yelling - hello... Hello??? It was hilarious. Yesterday a little more than 3 miles. My leg doesn't feel great. I think I may have to breakdown and go to the doc. I stayed relatively close on calories all three days, though I know sodium was an issue.
8/26 166.2 Ahhhhh That felt great to see this morning. I'm 3 pounds away from a 50-pound loss. I know if I buckled down on I could lose weight faster but I'm afraid of the backlash. A replay of the last time I lost weight - no thank you. I'm going to ride the bike tonight, I think walking 3 of the last 4 days was enough for my leg that hadn't been walked on seriously in two weeks.
8/27 165.7 I ain't mad. TOM started so I was probably just getting rid of water. I'm thrilled, actually. Though I know it will be up tomorrow or the next day. I rode 14 miles on the stationary bike last night. I do like it as long as I can be distracted by something else (tv, music, audiobook).
8/28 165.7 Travel day. No exercise but super happy because BF is with me! After two weeks of not seeing him. I still have to work during the day and he’ll work from the hotel but al least we see each other at night!
8/29 no scale. I will go to the gym tonight BF here or not. Have. Good day9 -

CW: 126.6 lbs, CGW: 125 lbs
08/24 -126.6 lbs : stuck to no drinking on Fri night as well as no takeout. Ended up munching junk to curb the cravings. Proud of it though. Need to find good substitute activities for Fri. I like to have an awesome Fri after week, anyhing less is depressing.
08/25 - 126.6 lbs : logged everything I ate on Sat. Cooked special meals but kept it healthy. Declined suggestion to drink with good logic.
08/26 - 128 lbs : resisted suggestions nd urge to drink. Ate junk to compensate. Over calories >.5x. Pick up the pace during the week and be more active
08/27 - 125.4 lbs : kept in calorie limits. Ate healthy. Was more active.
08/28 - 125.4 lbs : ate in calorie limits, and healthy. Mindful snacking and was active. Way to go.
08/29 - 226.6 lbs : Dont know what happened. WFH, ate atmost 100 cals over the goals, but otherwise did very good, was active. Did not expected this jump. Back to square 1.

08/22 - 222.6 Thursday - Ate Well, played baseball, no late night snacking
08/23 - 221.6 Friday - Feeling tired.
08/24 - 219.6 Saturday- A great start to weekend with lots of temptations ahead
08/25 - 219.8 Sunday - Not too bad. Friends came over for a BBQ and drinks Saturday night but I was active cleaning and weeding in the morning, and saved extra calories for the evening. Had approx. maintenance level of calories but more carbs than I should have. Vodka Sodas and Splenda Mojitos.
08/26 - 221.8 Monday - Back where I was on Friday morning. I attended a catered dinner event Sunday night so I'm pretty sure this is just some water weight from hidden salt/carbs and most will be gone by tomorrow. I tracked and I should have had a small calorie deficit for the day. No alcohol.
08/27 - 220.0 Tuesday - Back on track! Low-carb eating yesterday helped that weekend water weight disappear.
08/28 - 219.6 Wednesday - Feeling good about my progress. I've now met my goal for this challenge round but I'd like to get ahead of the game before the weekend.
08/29 - 219.0 Thursday - Yesterday was a good day. Used up all my meal preps though, so I'm having a Good Fats bar for breakfast and packed a quick salad for lunch. Will probably grab a burger with no bun somewhere to go with it for my lunch. There is some calorie wiggle room today, since I am playing baseball tonight.

08/28 – 130.6 – There’s the drop back I was looking for.
08/29 – 130.0 – Didn’t eat enough yesterday so I was trying to get at least 1000 calories in and I definitely wasn’t picking the right foods, so I am honestly surprised to see a loss today.

08/21 DNW we were away for a couple days at the lake. No internet or scales so I was really winging it in terms of logging. Did dip into some chips and ice cream. Got in loads of exercise though. Family enjoyed a beautiful 6.5 mile hike.
08/22 149.6
08/23 148.8 feel good going into the weekend. Will be back at the lake for the next couple of days before heading back to work after 7 weeks off. I’ve been committed to my health goals (working out, logging meals, staying under calorie budget ). Going back to work will bring new challenges to these goals but I know what I need to do. I’ll really need to focus on meal planning and prepping and waking up early to get the workouts in. Nobody said this was easy. I’m so grateful to have had the last few weeks to focus on my goals and happy that I’ve seen progress. That is huge motivation to keep keeping on when work starts and life gets busy.

08/26 147.2 today I am celebrating first day back to work accomplishments. I got up early, got my workout in, meal planned, and stayed under budget. It was an out of town meeting and I am happy to say (thanks to the meal planning) that I passed on the morning muffin that I typically get for the commute, passed on the arrival pre-meeting muffin and enjoyed my delicious overnight oats smoothie. Yay me!

08/29 147.1 another good out of town day! I was in a hotel, woke up early and did a little workout in my room in my PJs because I forgot my workout clothes lol! Eating was alright...I think. but I didn’t log anything

Round 86 was not successful. I am finding it so hard to say no to everything that’s not the best for me. I am tired, exhausted and just want to be lazy. I don’t know how to make myself snap out of this.
Day/Weight/Comment
08/21- 185.4- had a healthy lunch yesterday and stayed away from treats at work. Then I ate too much supper.
08/22 - 185.8 - had a surprise pizza day at work yesterday so had that instead of the salad I had taken with me. How much can one person sabotage themselves.
08/23 - 185.2 - not a good day again yesterday. I think my problem is coming down to lack of planning and not wanting to eat what I do plan.
08/24 - no scale
08/25 - 183.8 - had a better couple of days for the most part.
08/26 - 184.8 - not sure why it’s up today.
08/27 - 184.8 - I have no words
08/28 - 185.8 - I can’t even describe how terribly I ate yesterday. I have no excuses just ate like a person who thought they would never have food again!
08/29 - 185.6 had a better day yesterday need a better one every day.9 -

RSW 297.2
My goal is to end the round lower than I started.
8/21: 296.8 A nice loss to start the round. I’m slowly getting back into my routine and was able to get in some activity yesterday.
8/22: 296.2
8/23: 296.4 I had a late dinner and slept poorly thanks to my continued cold. But I’m on track with calories and this blip will be short lived.
8/24: 298.8 All water weight. I ate closer to maintenance yesterday and it was a high carb day.
8/25: 297.4 Almost back down again. I’m doing a few shifts to my plan to make both more enjoyable and more sustainable.
8/26: 296.6
8/27: 296.2 Back down to the round low. Hopefully I’ll see another drop. Next round I’m considering a diet break. I have not done one yet and with two kid birthdays next week I think it will be a good time.
8/28: 296.6 No idea.
8/29: 297.8 I ended up starting my break yesterday. I was a bit under my maintenance calories and I didn’t binge on anything. I’m still weighing and tracking my food just eating at maintenance for the next two weeks.

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.
08/28 - 208.8 - Woooooo! Get it giiirl! Let's see if I can hit my goal in two days!
08/29 - 208.2 - Ow owww! One more day to lose 0.2! I can definitely do that as long as I don't somehow get a sudden surge of water weight!

8/26-171-My 89 year old FIL broke his hip a couple of days ago. We’ve spent lots of time sitting at the hospital. I was tired when I got home last night and made a drink and ate a baked potato and salad, but of course I made my husband a a healthy chefs salad. This morning I will go on my 7 mile walk before I head to the hospital. Have a good week everyone! ☕️😊
8/27-170-Things are getting back to “normal “. I can get a big walk in today and also get many other neglected things done and just stop by the hospital for a visit. My MIL is 15 years younger than my FIL (1st wife 😊) and she takes great care of him. My FIL is on the mend and it will just take time. It’s only Tuesday!!!
8/28-DNW Went to a cardio Fit Body class and am sore...I usually just walk.

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.
8/28:210.7 Sore from yesterday. Rest day today. I'm just going to continue to stay focused.
8/29:210.0 Ankle has been sore/painful the last couple of days so still no running. Digestive system is definitely feeling less inflamed since I have gotten back to my normal eating and it's showing up on the scales. Also, not eating all those extra snacks just because they are there is also helping.

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.

08/28 …..195.6 LOSS ….. Okay, so I’ve lost part of Monday’s travel & binge weight. But more to go. If I want to lose the 2 pounds that are goal I need to weigh 193.4 and that may not happen. However, I will be flushing & trying hard today to make some sort of difference. Yesterday’s stats: 1280 Calories In / 3047 Calories Out. 46 Net Carbs . 19,224 Total Steps & 8.13 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 6 hours & 4 minutes which was wonderful! I rigorously cleaned the tourist cabins for 162 minutes & I took a nice moderately paced walk for 70 minutes. Total extra calorie burn was 1159 which helped me reach over 3000 for the day. Happy hump day everyone!
08/29 …..195.4 LOSS ….. Dang! I was hoping for a bit more of a drop since we are so close to the end of the round. However, we did enjoy a steak bbq yesterday with my brother & my neighbor (walking partner). I kept it reigned in but did have some potatoes. I was under calories with my exercise accounted for, and at the high end of my carb allowance. Yesterday’s stats: 1527 Calories In / 2706 Calories Out. 45 Net Carbs. 13,481 Total Steps & 5.7 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 50 minutes. I did not get in my whole walk yesterday due to work & BBQ prep, but I did manage a 38 minute walk at 2.0 mph leisure pace. I also did leisure cleaning in my own home (not the cabins) for about 49 minutes. Total extra calorie burn just 383. Slightly over on what I would normally eat for cals & carbs, slightly under what I would normally do for extra exercise & movement, well……now that explains the lack of loss I’d hoped for. I’m happy to have a least kept it under control. I’ll be extra restrictive today on my last possible day of the round to make a splash!

Food -- Focus on healthy plant-based foods with some fish, chicken, & eggs. Avoid flour & added sugar.
Exercise -- Aim for a 4-6 mile walk most days; weights either working in garden/house or at gym.
Weight -- I can control only what I eat & do, not what I weigh on a day-to-day basis. Long-term goals below.

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!
08/22 - 163
08/23 - 163
08/24 - 163
Really? But okay, something’s gotta give soon. I’ll just keep on keepin’ on. Have a terrific weekend, all!
08/25 - 163
I’m nothing if not consistent!
08/26 - 163
Oh, for heaven’s sake.
08/27 - 164.6
Eeep. Pizza yesterday. I kept close to my calorie goal but had lots of sodium and not enough water. Oh well.
08/28 - 163.4
I was vewy, vewy good yesterday — no added sugar, no flour, calories on target, exercise. Who’s a good girl? Maybe I’ll still break through this stupid 163 yet this round (which, btw, has whizzed by shockingly quickly!)
08/29 - 163.4
I thought I’d lose a little, but oh, well. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/21: 225.6 (-0.6)/19.1 (-0.1). There was a lunch celebration/going away party at work yesterday. I was very mindful about what I ate, and particularly how much. I also skipped dessert completely. Dinner was not the healthiest thing I've ever had, but I chose carefully in order to stay within calories. Today was a victory in that this was a situation in the past in which I may have very easily been derailed. I'm going to try again tonight to hit the gym. I need to check in with my wife before she leaves work to confirm that she is going to make it home on time; otherwise I'll go by myself.
8/22: 225.8 (+0.2)/19.1 (0.0). Food quantity has been pretty good, but I could do better on food quality. And exercise has GOT to make its way back into my life at some point as well. I think basketball is not coming back for another two weeks (first day will likely be 9/7/2019).
8/23: 227.0 (+1.2)/19.3 (+0.2). Okay, yesterday was pretty bad. There was an all-day meeting at the office, celebratory drinks after said meeting, and my mother's 79th birthday yesterday (Mexican dinner out, cake after). I did my best to make healthy choices, but I'm pretty sure I was significantly over in calories. I'm going to make today a good day, and I'm going to focus on having a HEALTHY CHOICE weekend (planning what I'm going to eat in advance, ESPECIALLY if/when I'm going to be eating out). It's looking more and more like I will not be seeing the basketball court tomorrow. I'm going to commit to hitting the gym at least once this weekend (today, Saturday, or Sunday).
8/24: Didn't weigh.
8/25: Didn't weigh.
8/26: 229.0 (+2.0)/19.5 (+0.3). I had an emotional, sucky weekend, and it took a bit of energy to login today to get back on track and remain accountable. Well, here I am. I'm adjusting my goal, and I'll be ecstatic if I'm able to get back to my starting weight for the round (though any progress in the downward direction would be nice at this point).
8/27: 228.6 (-0.4)/19.4 (-0.1). At this point I'm just focusing on posting here every day to be accountable. Most days (other than the weekend) I'm doing relatively well with food, but exercise has been difficult to come by. It kind of feels like I'm half-@$$ing it, but if I'm being kind to myself I would recognize that I have a lot going on right now, and my motivation is obviously affected. I'll choose "being kind to myself" for now.
8/28: 227.8 (-0.8)/19.3 (-0.1). I mostly did okay yesterday. I had a little more than I wanted to for dinner, but not too much. I'm happy to have what feels like a little bit of progress the past couple of days.
8/29: 225.8 (-2.0)/19.1 (-0.2). Hmm, definitely a WHOOSH, yet I don't really feel like celebrating. I have a bunch of crap going on in my life, so I'm going to have to try really hard to recognize my progress and notice any success(es) I might have. I've been consistently eating under maintainence for the past three days, and I have generally been avoiding temptation (sticking with healthy-ish snacks). Basketball officially starts 9/7/19; it's been too long, and life is definitely not as fun without it.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/21 - 192.8. -5lbs. This is my first weigh in since starting 21 Day Fix 10 days ago and going lower carb so much of this is probably water weight but im happy!!
08/22 - 193.2 (+0.4) carbby /salty dinner last night
08/23 - 194.8 (+1.6) this one I'm surprised with. I did 17000 steps yesterday and a short workout and my fitbit said I burned about 3000 calories but only ate 1500. I had a shwarma salad for dinner from a restaurant. Maybe it's really high in sodium? Not worried - just surprised.
08/24 194.2 (-0.6)
08/25 193.2 (-1.0) anniversary celebration with family. Had a piece of cake but didnt have any wine and stuck to salad for dinner.
08/26 194.6 (+1.2) BBQ last night. Wine, carbs, two bite brownies. I estimated that I still was in the range of 2000 calories for the day so essentially maintenance so that's not too bad.
08/27 193 (-1.6) 16000 steps, a workout, mostly stuck to my food plan with the exception of a few pieces of candy and 1 cup of cheese its. Still within calorie target
08/28 194 (+1.0) I dunno. Does everyone just bounce up and down through the same 2 lbs? I wish I was one of those who see a tiny drop or even stay level day after day. At least my Libra still says im trending down.
08/29 194.4 (+0.4) 21000 steps yesterday including a weight session at the gym. Ate with calorie goal and low carb. Thinking I need to focus on inches lost and not lbs.

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.
08/24 138, ate well yesterday, but went way over today. I had a milkshake and had no idea how many calories are in them! Feel terrible both physically (body is not very used to that food anymore) and about stalling this week’s progress for a while. Tomorrow is another day and keep learning that some foods are deceptively high calories.
08/25 138.9, slight blip, but will hopefully will be going back down as we end the round
08/26 138.3, ready to tackle the week and end this round below 138
08/27 138, took a barre class yesterday and will do elliptical today. I want to work up to being able to do 4-5 of those classes a week, but still get pretty sore so can’t work out the same muscle groups 2 days in a row.
08/28 137.7, leftovers and a spin class with a friend should call for a good diet day. I’m optimistic will end the round in a loss because of the end date being a weekday vs weekend
08/29 137.7, great workout day yesterday but ended up eating at 9pm so my meal hours were all out of sorts. Can’t believe this round is already done tomorrow!

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 lbs - 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.
08/24: 135.6 lbs - two days in a row at this number. Nice. Worked out just a couple hours in the sun, took it easy. Have a dinner out with friends tonight, will try to stay on track.
08/25: DNW, up and out too early. Had a pickleball tournament about an hour away, we came in second. Again. Almost as frustrating as trying to lose weight.
08/26: 137.2 lbs - not surprised, the last few days caught up with me and I was craving salt yesterday. Besides, this is the weight my body likes to be at, spent the last 2 months moving back and forth from this number. Just going to keep moving forward with good choices, they will pay off eventually. Maybe I need to do a fast day or something?
08/27: 137.2 lbs - my body's happy weight. Doesn't help that I just can't seem to buckle down and make the necessary changes needed to get to the next level of weight loss. Seems something always comes up. Dinner party over the weekend, fundraiser last night, vacation, etc.
08/28: DNW, forgot to weigh when I got up and certainly not going to do it now that I've eaten and dressed.
08/29: 136.6 lbs - might not stick since I woke up with a really yucky cold and who knows how that effects my weight. But I'll take it for now.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/21 - 206!! Yay! Starting this round out with a drop. Didn't sleep very much and have a bad migraine today, will probably not exercise but I'll at least take the dog for a walk. Sticking to my macro/calorie goals with my meal plan and hoping to feel better tomorrow
08/22 - 206.3! No clue what made it go up a bit but I'm starting to learn my weight fluctuates all the time so I'm trying to focus on the trend which is definitely going down. My TOM is probably not helping anything here either. Stuck to calories/macros, didn't exercise very much just walking
08/23 - 204.4!! Holy cow, what a drop! Doubt I'll stay this low through the rest of the week but it makes me feel good to see a 4 on the scale 🤩 Did a really intense workout today and am sticking to cals/macros so hopefully I continue to make progress
08/24 - 204.4 again! Wahoo! I was sure yesterday's weigh-in was a fluke but I didn't fluctuate at all overnight. I'm sure I'll fluctuate again later but at least this means that 4 wasnt a total fluke. Will try to kayak later today and sticking well to my food goals today. My FH is having a boys weekend at our house this weekend and their wives cancelled our girls weekend at the last minute so I'm going to try to keep myself busy with hikes and kayaks and chores so I'm not awkwardly in the way of their boy-time. Hopefully that means extra exercise and less food temptations than I'd planned for this weekend
08/25 - 203.6! Wow, can't believe it! Another drop 🤩 so happy. Had a really frustrating day yesterday, major car troubles, then waiting at mechanic for it to be fixed, then leaving realizing it wasnt fixed, going back, waiting again, leaving again, realizing again, going back again... Didn't get much exercise then but I also didnt have time to eat much so I guess that's why there's a drop. Hopefully will have time to kayak or do something fun today. On track to stick to calorie goals for the day so far.
08/26 - 204.4 and back up again! The ways of the fluctuating weight, I guess, but still on a downward trend so I'm happy. Ended up having even more car troubles and getting a flat tire, so spent most of the day fixing that Trying to get some work done today and focusing on sticking to my calorie goals and finding some time to exercise today.
08/27 - 204.8 up again! No clue why, hopefully just weight fluctuations. My weight loss progress chart is just a series of zig zags at this point 😋 going to the gym today to get a lot of cardio in and sticking to my calories so I can hopefully get that zig to zag its way back down
08/28 - 204.8! Ugh... Still up. I wish I could understand why I fluctuate so much for seemingly no reason. Moving forward... Good gym workout and planning to stay on track with calories today. Hoping to see a drop in the scale soon.
08/29 - 204.4! Coming back down and feeling happy. If I can just maintain this through tomorrow, I will have met my challenge goal 🤩 headed to the gym now, planning to stick to my calorie goals. I have a party to go to tonight but I'm planning to eat before I arrive to more easily resist the party food temptations.

Highest weight ever: 217
Original SW: 203.0 (7-31-2019)
Ultimate GW: 180.0
R86 EW: 201.6 (+1.6)
Goal for R87: 199.5
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.
08/28 198.0 (-.6) not sure how accurate this weigh in is. I don’t normally weigh in this early but I’m up. So we’ll go with it. It’s kinda just been how my weeks been going. Not sure if the weight loss is from stress, lack of sleep, my routine or all of the above
08/29 199.0 (+1.0) well that’s a little frustrating. Thought I did pretty good yesterday. Have to have an even better today to finish strong!
