JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 90

Still painting! I just finished my office/studio/woman cave in a gorgeous light/medium lilac. It was paper bag tan before. I am not a dark tan person unless it’s from being outside. Omg, what a difference! Now to reassemble the room. I also painted the door from the kitchen to the laundry room an interesting bright pink and wowser! Nice happy pop of color. The laundry is newly yellow, and the door from there to the garage is bright turquoise. I think my years on the NC coast are showing. All of which is to say that a happy-colored environment makes me happier and less likely to comfort eat. Let the painting continue! Do others of you find that colors in your environment affect your mood and behavior? Oh, and I’m having a group of friends (women) over for a potluck tomorrow to celebrate my new-this-summer garden. Other than the pie I’ve heard is coming, this group leans toward healthy foods. All good! Have a lovely weekend, all!

Still haven’t conquered the evening snack monster but I did resist the mid-afternoon urge yesterday. I pulled weeds instead. I went 3 years not sabotaging myself so I don’t understand why I’m finding this so hard now. I can’t believe I’ve gained 30 pounds since last fall. Sigh. But this round I’m not worryingly no as much about weight as about recovering my long-time healthful behaviors. You all help a lot with your inspiring posts. Thank you.

I like the thing about your "goal" I just read something the other day that instead of calling it a goal, call it a "plan".

Round 90 ( my 22nd)

OSW 382.0
RSW 293.8

My goal is to end lower than I started, and to be at or under maintenance calories for my oldest son’s birthday. Thankfully it’s the last of the birthdays for the year.

09/20 294.4 Ah the after weight training, high activity, high sodium, high stress bounce. I was on track with my calories despite my husband bringing home dinner, but I weighed out what was within my calorie goals.

09/21 295.0 Two words, Japanese food. So much tasty sodium filled foods. I was under calories, but oh the sodium. I don’t expect to see a drop until Tuesday because today I’m doing maintenance calories today for my son’s birthday.

09/21 140.2 Hosted a lovely pool party/dinner last evening. Good thing I worked out a little extra, as I enjoyed a huge plate of awesome and healthy food. Baked chicken, roasted beets with herbs from our garden, mashed potatoes, curried vegies, salad, figs from our tree, pico gallo Nica style.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/20: 225.6 (-1.0)/19.1 (-0.1). This is a great start, particularly given that I was likely right at about maintenance in calories last night. Food quality was good, though. IT'S THE WEEKEND... and instead of going into it hopeful (and a little blind), I'm going to think through a plan. Right now. Gym tonight after work, basketball tomorrow... I don't think I can go to the gym on Sunday, because I'll be trying to fix my car with my dad and doing a couple of things to continue to make my house liveable. Dinner tonight should be light/easy; maybe a lettuce wrap from Cook's Tortas. I'm not sure about tomorrow night (what's happening), but it will probably involve more housework stuff (and, annoyingly, cleaning everything because my parents are coming over on Sunday). Sunday my parents will be here, and my wife wants to go wine-tasting with them. I can focus on reds while I'm there, and I'll try to budget some calories for that. Dinner is almost always the problem. I need to track all day, have my "budget" before I eat, and figure out how the heck to stay within that budget. Work is feeling better; rather than feeling so overwhelmed, I have a bit of a plan, and I'm getting support from my supervisor/management team.

9/21: 223.6 (-2.0)/18.9 (-0.2). So far, so good. Stuck to my plan yesterday. Went with a lettuce wrap instead of bread. Lifted weights and did some HIIT on the elliptical. Basketball is happening this morning, then doing some painting/housework in the afternoon. I'm not sure what's happening for dinner, but I'm feeling focused.

Round 90 – Sept.20 to Sept.30
Female, 5’, 66 years. Goals – finish calorie log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 162.6, GW – 160.8, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Fell off the recording wagon by trying to do it later in the day, also one day of travel - so tracked most calories but did not record. Ended with 162.6 – up .4 from the last round but did see some 161 during the round so I’m hopeful of better things for this one.
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 – 162.4
09/21 – 162 – Warmup exercises in morning and emptying compost bin in the afternoon. Logged all calories - even the not so good overdoing chocolate almond spread. Nice surprise there as I was still within cals. because my breakfast and lunch were low. No LNS. Trying to get more protein earlier in the day so I’m not so hungry in the evening. Finally have a sunny day here so planning lots of outside work.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 90 (round 22 for me ) I'm in for another round, tomorrow I will be back home and weighing in on my own scales! After a brilliant holiday. Just 4 weeks to go before our cheeky pre-Brexit break on The Algarve, must get these extra ponds off for then !

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

Round goal – lose holiday gain,; be mindful of what I eat & drink and keep walking.
Spoiler

Day/Weight/Comment

09/20 137.6 - 13.7 miles walked yesterday. Catch the plane home this evening, weigh in on my own scales tomorrow.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ August 14, 2019 through November 21, 2019
My Name is Donna, Age 59. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA





“What you eat in private will show up in public.” ~Unknown


Day 01 – 08/14 ……197.8……
Day 02 – 08/15 ……195.4……Whoosh! A good day yesterday. Stayed on point all around.
Day 03 – 08/16 ……196.0…… Oops. Pizza.
Day 04 – 08/17 ……196.2…… Normal fluctuation. A conservative dinner out yesterday in which I showed much restraint.
Day 05 – 08/18 ……196.0…… A bit better.
Day 06 – 08/19 ……196.0…… Backyard BBQ always stalls me.
Day 07 – 08/20 ……195.4…… A nice well-earned overnight drop.
Day 08 – 08/21 ……196.7…… So happy I found the part 2 challenge. It is exciting to do the whole thing this time. I had an increase due to DQ yesterday. My own fault & today I’ve paid for it. Good luck everyone!
Day 09 – 08/22 ……196.2…… Better. I fought the cravings last night & won.
Day 10 – 08/23 ……194.4…… WooHoo! Worked hard for this yesterday eating just 1100 calories and burning over 3200. “ Let’s just keep it up Donna,” she says to self!
Day 11 – 08/24 ……196.6…… Fish fry dinner out last night. Stayed within calories but over on carbs. No worries. Today is remedy day. Flushing sodium!
Day 12 – 08/25 ……196.4 ……s..l..o..w.. progress. But it’s a journey, right?
Day 13 – 08/26 ……193.0…… Travel Day. I hope I choose well & I don’t come home & blow the whole day bingeing just because I had a nice restaurant lunch while out of town. That’s the goal today! Scale will be up a bit tomorrow, but hopefully it will be just water retention that can be erased within 48 hours.
Day 14 – 08/27 …197.8…… After Travel Weigh-in. Nearly 5 pounds gained overnight! Much of it has to be water from the restaurant food & the late night binge I spiraled into. I’ll be working hard on flushing today & making good choices.
Day 15 – 08/28 ……195.6…… Losing some of that binge & travel weight from Monday. More to go…..
Day 16 – 08/29 ……195.4…… BBQ last night stalled me a bit, but still moving slightly down on the scale.
Day 17 – 08/30 ……193.6…… Extra low calories & carbs yesterday on purpose to shake things up! Yes to the whoosh. Today, back to my normal healthy plan & hopefully another difference (even if small) on the scale. Progress is what counts!
Day 18 – 08/31 ……192.6…… Thrilled with this but traveling today so I must keep myself in control!

Weight Loss in Auguast (18 days)……………….. 5.2 lbs

Day 19 – 09/01……192.6…… Staying level with the scale, even over a holiday weekend so far. Going to try to keep it strong!
Day 20 – 09/02 ……194.2…… I ate 885 Calories last night and gained 1.6 pounds. Wow!
Day 21 – 09/03 ……194.8…… I obviously enjoyed my Labor Day Holiday. However, body is acting weird on scale (see yesterday) so its time to shake things up!
Day 22 – 09/04 ……194.8…… Still shaking!
Day 23 – 09/05 ……194.6……slightly better thanks to bathroom duty TMI. But I really need to work harder toward the 180’s. Going on a picnic later but will be mindful & will hike along river while there to offset the meal. I want the 180’s this month. I mean, I REALLY REALLY want it!
Day 24 – 09/06 ……193.0……I really shook it up yesterday. Hiked instead of just walked and added a few carbs by having a lovely riverside picnic near the trail. Also danced for almost 20 minutes last night. Sample song, “To Love Somebody” by the Bee Gees. It wasn’t fast, but it got a great vibe & groove on and put me back in the mood to stay on my journey. Music working its magic! I hope you'll put that little 3 minute song on and be inspired today. Join me!
Day 25 – 09/07 ……193.4……A slight gain because of a very severe diabetic sugar drop late last night that forced me to eat carbs specifically laid out by my doctor’s plan for my Type 2 Diabetes. Otherwise, I had a great on point day with calories & extra exercise. Moving on.
Day 26 – 09/08 ……193.4…… Happy with this after the fresh zucchini bread from my neighbor last night!
Day 27 – 09/09 ……193.6…… Finished off the zucchini bread last night so I just barely treaded water. Back to business today!
Day 28 – 09/10 ……193.6…… Same old song & Dance. Come on September, throw me a bone!
Day 29 – 09/11 ……193.6…… I hope for a whoosh tomorrow before the travels!
Day 30 – 09/12 ……195.4…… Unexpected travel yesterday causing gain today. Now Travel & restaurant again today for an occasion. Another gain expected tomorrow due to probable water retention & lack of exercise/movement. Uggg.
Day 31 – 09/13 ……197.8…… After Travel weigh-in. Likely a lot of water retention. I’ll be working on this the next few days.
Day 32 – 09/14 ……197.4…… Still retaining traveling water from sodium filled meals & lack of movement!
Day 33 – 09/15 ……193.0…… Whoosh! There goes that water retention from the Chinese food. Now, to stay on track until the next travel day.
Day 34 – 09/16 ……191.0…… I just can’t tell you how thrilled I am. I really worked hard for this yesterday!
Day 35 – 09/17 ……190.6…… I really needed these drops these past few days. Upcoming travel again which always reeks havoc but it’s usually a temporary set-back.
Day 36 – 09/18 ……191.8…… Out of town travel with lots of car sitting & restaurant is in the day’s plan this afternoon. I ate too much (a double helping) of my “diet” pre-prepped food last night. It showed up on the scale this morning. And now travel with restaurant today. This required trip came at a bad time.
Day 37 – 09/19 ……195.0…… After travel weigh-in. Very disappointed. I practiced more restraint than normal at the restaurant. Food choices not the greatest, but quantity of food eaten much smaller than days gone by. Water retention sucks!
Day 38 – 09/20 ……193.2…… Dropping some of the water weight. More to go!
Day 39 – 09/21 ……193.0…… Every little bit counts! TMI would really help!

9/20 - 184.2 - IF/18.5hrs/Meal times~2:30, 8pm. 17g carbs.
I love you 😙electrolytes. I felt 80% of my normal yesterday. Got a few things accomplished. I did not reach 128 ozs of water yesterday, because I was running more errands. Today, I will.

9/21 - 185.2 - IF/21hrs/Meal times~5pm, 7pm. 18g carbs. Did not drink enough water yesterday, but I managed to get in all of my electrolytes. Took a "littles" walk with my Great Niece 😊 She likes to walk and I could walk her speed without too much difficulty. My hip joints and muscles are still somewhat stiff and painful, but I've got to move! Using a heating pad at night has been beneficial. Ketones detected today. Edging my way back into ketosis.

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.

Goals this round: maintain weight and stick to keto while traveling

09/20 - 199.6! Wow, was not expecting that. Had a decent day, worked hard, exercised hard and ate well. Had a friend cancel plans at the last minute and it's been a bummer. Idk why I care so much, I think I'm just lonely and bored and was looking forward to some company. Oh well, still a good day overall.
09/21 - 199! What the heck? Managed to eat within my food goals so far and exercise hard again, going to take a rest day tomorrow. Had lots of work I wanted to do today but instead I'm just watching the walking dead and nursing a migraine. I think I'm burned out from an intense week of stress and work and not having any human interaction along the way. Have almost no appetite and all food sounds gross to me right now, I tried to eat some salmon and I basically had to choke it down and force myself to eat it. It's been this way for a few days now. I've made myself meet my goals but it's been hard and maybe that's why I am unexpectedly down so much now. Things from the garden still seem good, at least, so I've been eating lots of tomatoes and figs from there
