Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 115
Replies

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Then I had hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back walking!
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/27 135 – 12.74 miles walked yesterday. Another good day, need to stay in this mind set. Started pre-logging in the morning again. 933 calories in credit and all macros well in green.
05/28 133.6 – wow ! greater loss than I expected, but I'll take it !! 11.27 miles walked yesterday, 537 calories in credit, all macros in green.
05/29 133.2 – wow, wasn't expecting that ! Another drop, just shows how if I consistently eat healthily what a difference it makes!! Must retain that info when I get tempted to binge! 8.77 miles walked yesterday, 540 calories in credit, all macros well in credit.
05/30 134 – 11.37 miles walked yesterday. Hopefully normal fluctuation, but knew the run would stop at some stage! 317 calories in credit and all macros in green.
05/31 134.4 - 8.81 miles walked yesterday. 155 calories in credit, but carbs 24g over, other macros in green, but sodium although within limits higher than normal because of mussels at lunch time. Hopefully this will rebalance today.
06/01 135.6 ?? I'm disappointed with this, I walked 9.95 miles yesterday & was 441 calories in credit, all other macros in green. Oh well, lets hope it's still just normal fluctuation. I'm not giving up, today is Monday and I'll get on with it!! Four days to get back down. Making the apple bread today.
06/02 135.2 – 10.27 miles walked yesterday. 134 calories in credit, fat 17g over, other macros in green. I'm so excited !!! Seeing my family for the first time since lock down, (in the garden with social distancing rules, not sure how that will pan out with the little ones, but will do our best! ), so first time for 3 months for son and granddaughter and 2½ months for daughter and grandsons. It's better than Christmas morning!!
06/03 135.2 – no walking with 2 hour drive up north & then back, wonderful quality time in son's garden with family, particularly with little grandchildren after they had got over initial shyness; well they'd not seen any other person than parents for 3 months !! Best day ever, Christmas birthday & every other celebration you can think of rolled into one !!!

06/02 - 232.5 - That's a good start and in the right direction. Its so warm
06/03 – 232.5 – A little disappointed with that but my dinner last night was high in salt so I’m hoping it’s just water retention....

Day/Weight/Comment
05/27 - 146 - I was hoping I'd be down a little more, but it appears that it wasn't all water weight I gained over my 4 day weekend.
05/28 - 147 - My rings were very tight this morning so I'm going to be drinking plenty of water today.
05/29 - 145 - I think the scales were just being kind this morning. I'll take it, but I won't be surprised if I'm up a little bit tomorrow.
05/30 - 145 - I've eaten around maintenance the past couple days and mowed the lawn today, so I hope I can maintain this for tomorrow.
05/31 - 145.5
06/01 - 147 - Oh well, plenty of water today and hope it goes back down tomorrow.
06/02 - 147 - I'll try the water again today.

🌻🥀🌸🌹🥀🌻🥀🌹🌸🥀🌻
WELCOME TO JUNE
🌻🥀🌸🌹🥀🌼🥀🌹🌸🥀🌻
#norniron #stayingsafe@home
Looking forward:
I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.
- June: focus on maintaining and increasing my progress
- 2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 115
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ So far, so good.
That's a WIN in my book!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.Posting weight and comments each evening.

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!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

(I do have plenty to be stressed about though) I've been eating bread carbs practically every day, just because I have it in the house for my family.

This is depressing.
5/28/20 - 183
I worked almost all day in the garden putting in new beds and moving plants around — all good! — and ate sparingly during the day, but I was hangry last night and finally gave in. Nothing shockingly bad, and my calories were over my goal but under maintenance. Aiming for more protein today to fend off the late-night hungries! I’m determined to get this wagon rolling down from the crest of fat mountain! 🏔🎢
5/29/20 - 183
Still here. Calories once again over goal but under maintenance. We got a lot of rain yesterday so I didn’t do as much in the garden as I’d planned. Rain off and on today, too.
5/30/20 - 182.4
It’s a gorgeous morning here and I’m headed out to the garden. Yay! Also planning a nice long walk later. My favorite, close-by section of the river greenway is closed due to flooding, so I’ve decided to take that as a nudge to go check out a part of the trail I haven’t walked in a long time. Have a lovely weekend, all!
5/31/20 - forgot to weigh!
6/01/20 - 183
I seem to have a uti and am retaining everything I drink, apparently, which is gallons! Feel like I’m sloshing. I also ate an amazing Andes mint brownie that a friend dropped off, dammit. Wow - it was worth the calories, though I don’t want to know how many! Anyway, happy June! It’s another gorgeous day here and I have tons of garden work planned — I planted my newly expanded native prairie plants bed on Friday, and have woodland plants to put in in shadier areas today. Whee! Have a lovely! 🌸🌷☘️🌼🌿🌻🌱
6/02/20 - 184
Ugh. That’s the brownie, plus still retaining water, though the uti seems to have resolved. Garden work! My new herb garden is dug and tilled, and the two beds I’m expanding are de-turfed, and the prairie/native bee planted. So that’s all good, except it makes me hungry! But I’m making salmon-egg-avocado-veggies salad for lunch to up the protein. I need a higher protein breakfast. Ideas? No protein powder — real food. I’m swearing off snacks — and nothing after dinner, even if I’m hungry. Hoping the protein will help. Trying not to whine or beat myself up too much, though I am disgusted. Also trying not to check the news too often.
6/03/20 - 182.8
Finally letting go of some of that water. Calories well below goal, lots of protein, lots of exercise, one snack — air-popped popcorn. All good.

05/27 121.2 We went for a nice 4 mile walk in the woods this morning and I did a few minutes of planks before the walk while I was waiting for my husband and father in law to be ready. I’m thinking about doing some jump rope later too. Food was good yesterday and I’m happy I didn’t go up due to water weight because we had a kind of salty dinner last night. So, I was pleasantly surprised about that. 😊 It’s going to be another 80’s day today and I’m so happy about it! It’s only our second one of the season and I love the warm weather so much! The armer weather also helps me want to eat lighter too, so it’s a win all around.
I’m thinking about making pesto chicken and pasta for dinner tonight. I love basil, so I’m really looking forward to it!
05/28 121.4 This is interesting and one of the reasons I loved the idea of this challenge. It allows me to see how my weight fluctuates throughout my cycle. In the next couple of rounds I’ll have a solid length of daily weights to see the ups and downs over the course of time. I feel good but definitely feel a little more puffy today. The body is so interesting that way… Maybe frustrating at times too. Food and exercise were really on point yesterday too. Started my morning today with a pleasant 5 mile walk with my my father in law and did a mini body weight workout prior to the walk by myself. I’m excited to try some the apple oat bread I made last night for breakfast this morning. I added some extra fiber to it too, so it will be even more filling for me. For 1/6 of the recipe it is only 225 calories and has 11 grams of fiber and 5.9 g protein. I’ll be having some cottage cheese or yogurt with it too to up the protein for my first meal.
Here’s the link if anyone is interested: https://thebakermama.com/recipes/healthy-flourless-fresh-apple-bread/
- I modified it by using 80 grams of dates instead of honey/maple syrup and added 40 grams of inulin powder (fiber) to it as well. Then, I baked it in 6 mini loaf pans for about 30 minutes I think it was.
05/29 122.2 This water fluctuation is pretty fun… Oh well, such is life. It was a solid day for food and I got in an awesome workout this morning doing soccer/running drills at the fields near my house. It was fun to mix it up instead of walking. My heart was happy it got a really workout. My father in law used to coach soccer for years and gets bored easily so the workout had a lot of variety to it. I hope everyone has a happy Friday!
05/30 122.2
05/31 122.2 Inching closer to TOM. This blip up over the past few days is definitely due to that. Yesterday was a really good day. I started it with some gardening, then moved on to sitting outside with my husband for a bit while eating my apple bread for breakfast. Then around 12ish I did a solid strength and cardio workout. Worked on my chin ups a bit. I’m at like 1.2 full chin up, I did a total of like 3 and half by the end of my workout. Goal for summer is to do 10 in a row by the end of the summer. Finished up the strength workout with around 20 minutes of jump roping.
After that I made homemade pasta with my mother in law as part of her Mother’s Day gift (we got her a pasta maker). So, we had a nice family dinner of homemade pasta with handmade meatballs and red sauce. Surprisingly this dinner didn’t kill my calories for day either. If I entered everything right, I even stayed within my goal for the day.
Today my husband and I went for a light walk this morning. Other than that, today will be a rest day (Friday and Saturday’s workout was pretty demanding on my body I think). Just feeling kind of spacey & fatigued like I usually do a couple days before my “friend” arrives. Have a beaustiful rest of your Sunday every one!
06/01 121.0 I’ll take the whoosh 😊. Yesterday was a really nice rest day and my hisband even made dinner. It was chicken with peppers, onion, carrot and a touch of parsnips (trying to use up the parsnips but won’t be adding them to a dish like this in future) in a Trinidad curry spice mix with coconut milk and brown rice on the side. It was so good! (Plus there are leftovers for tonight!) He’s the curry and Asian food chef in the house and has a really good instinct with it. He’s great at making Indian curries, Thai dishes and whatever else he concocts. I love to cook too but it’s more American and European style dishes. So, it’s a good balance for us.
We did another great soccer drill workout this morning and torched another 400 calories between sprints, hills, and all sorts of good things. Have a beautiful day everyone!
06/02 120.4 We went for a nice 4ish mile walk this morning. It’s nice to switch up the workouts. I think we decided to run the fields on Mon, Wed, and Fri. Then we’ll walk on Tuesdays and Thursdays to give our bodies a bit of a break.
Today is a day filled with food coming in the house, we’re getting a delivery of groceries and I’ll be picking up my June meat CSA. It’ll be fun to see what cuts of meat we get this month! On the menu for dinner tonight is a drunken shitake mushroom and ground turkey dish. It’ll be a spin off from the Thai Drunken Noodle dish. It’ll be a kind of salty dinner, so we’ll see if I retain any water from it. Oh well, the taste will be worth it!
06/03 119.8 I’m feeling good today, we did another field/soccer workout this morning. It was fun to mix it up and use the soccer ball with some of the drills. It was a little slower paced today but it felt pretty good because I was kind of tired at the same time.
I have some skyrr, home made granola, and fruit planned for breakfast today and really looking forward to it! Yesterday, I made myself a tzatziki salad of sorts with the skyrr for my afternoon snack and it was so good! I used the skyrr, everything but the bagel seasoning, an onion/garlic powder mix, and dried dill. It was so yummy! I can’t wait to get more veggies and salad greens because that sauce will be sooo good with more crunchy vegetables!
Not sure what’s on the agenda for dinner tonight but our meat CSA items were cool that we got. Some interesting ones were a 1lb package of ground beef with ground bacon mixed into it and then a garlic turkey sausage without the casing. I bet the turkey sausage would be good in a Bolognese style sauce. The bacon burger meat will be yummy on the grill! Oh how I love cooking! 😊
Have a happy hump day everyone!

05/27: 217.6 / I have to say this challenge really works for me. I have very little willpower by myself. Any number I record for these ten days would otherwise be higher if not for this group. My expectations are pretty high for this ten day period, just as a correction for the Covid-19 stress eating I have been doing. 😊

58 yo, 5' 7" UGW: 150#
Day/Weight/Comment
05/26 - 179 - Currently IF 16:8, plus daily logging within calorie goal. Down 7# so from my heaviest weight EVER
05/27 - 180.2 WHAT!? Expected a little love from the scale this a.m. after a 3-mile walk over lunch and a mile later
with the pup. Will repeat today and hope for the "whoosh" tomorrow.
05/28 - 179.7 Same exercise routine as 5/26, but ate more. Think my metabolism sent me a message yesterday about not eating enough to balance the extra expenditure. Lessened my caloric deficit to keep that energy level higher. No whoosh, but lesson learned. .5 down works for me!
05/29 - 178.7 Got hungry after my IF eating window had already closed. That was a first for me and it didn't last too terribly long. Is it weird that I appreciate a good hunger pang every now and then so I remember the difference between hunger and mindless eating?
05/30 - 178.7 Deep stuffed pizza. Saved calories and 5 mile walk before dinner. Earned enough for an extra piece, but only ate half because I was full.
05/31-178.7 It's funny. The majority of folks believe CICO is the standard for weight loss. And it makes sense. However, now that I'm logging daily, I am becoming a believer that the food choices for those calories still impact the speed of that loss. Normally, I don't eat much bread, certainly not two days in a row. But man, that pretzel bread cheeseburger was even more awesome than the deep dish pizza the day before! Walked 14000 steps and other activities that earned over 800 more calories yesterday, of which I ate NONE of. Weight stays the same. Today I go back to the good carbs. C'mon scales...@littlecinnamon and I need a whoosh!
06/01-177.7 - Lucky 7's for me today. Decided not to spin again!
06/02-177.3 -
the feeling when a family member notices you are making progress w/o seeing the numbers
06/03-176.4 - Sticking to my self-discovery theories earlier in this 10 days, and MFP goals. Is it that, or water weight loss from my ill-timed 3+ mile lunch walk in 90+ temps? Only tomorrow's scale knows for sure.

@ouija28 All movement counts...but the best movement is with that time shared with your "kid"
@deepwoodslady recognizing that you are stress eating is the first step. Do you have veggies around you can use to fuel the urge? I also used to pack my own food when I traveled with my daughter on her travel league so I wouldn't compromise my goals due to restaurant limitations. Seemed to help me.
@littlecinnamon what is the Game of Thrones Challenge? Whatever it is, my money's on you!
@Shortgirlrunning and @aFit50 I love your photo choices and need help finding one. Not sure why but I seem to be attracting creepers. Plan to do my one-time name change here shortly as well.
@hammycakes Life is short. Eat the chocolate, just stay at your goal!
@eyesopennow No substitute for family love Hope your foot heals soon. I wish I could help with your yard work. One of my fav workout options--my hubs and I fight over who gets to do yard work and/or snow shoveling!
@musicsax With as much as you walk, I'd say you are gaining muscle. You inspire me to do more.
@seawinters Sorry you are going through a tough time. Praying you find peace and light.
Happy new month all!
thank you! I use it to remind myself to stay focused. And YESSSS, creepers are definitely an issue sometimes, but thankfully easily gotten rid of!! Best of luck friend 6 -

05/29 185.6 back to end weight of Round 113. Now to start losing again.
05/30 185.8 Friday’s are always tricky. I’m exhausted at the end of a long week and just want the “reward” of treat eating. Happy I contained the damage last night and ate at maintenance.
05/31 185.8
06/01 185.8 Three days in a row. Well, I’d rather be stuck at this number than a higher one, so I’ll take it.
06/02 185.0 I made it! Made my mini goal of 185 (again). Now to keep it by avoiding those weekend splurges (or DD grad splurge tomorrow) that just send me back recycling the same weight again.
06/03 184.8 Kept it! I’m going to wait until I have a week of weighing in below my mini goal of 185 before officially establishing my next goal. But I’m happy to be here and not higher!

I've been gone since before spring break...and it shows. Made myself weigh yesterday after almost 3 months of not weighing and realized I had gained 13 pounds during quarantine. Way too much wine and comfort food. Time to get back on track!

goals for this round:
C25K 3x per week
1200-1400 cals on non running days
1400-1600 cals on running days
I just wanna see something below 190 this round!
05/27 191.8 approximate total cals 1163
I was waiting for this round to start and then missed the beginning. but here I am. I feel pretty committed at the moment so lets hope we can keep it up.
05/28 191.8 ran 3 miles, approximate total cals 1600
05/29 191.2 approximate total cals 1441
05/30 191.4 ran 3 miles, approximate total cals 1698 It was raining but we waited 30 minutes and it cleared up. So humid, but we got it done. I was feeling really snacky last night but 100 cals over isn't that bad I guess.
05/31 191.6 approximate total cals 1380 trying to catch up on water today. I have had a bad headache every afternoon this week and it's really getting old and I want to eat chocolate and that's it.
06/01 191.8
approximate total cals 1558 which was a bit higher than I wanted, ended up having a 100 cal popsicle and 1.5 glass of wine last night before bed, just needed to unwind a bit. Still looking for a drop before the end of this round but approaching TOM is not helping in the least Ran 3 miles this morning and time was a bit quicker. In fact that is one of my big goals at the moment- I feel if I drop a few lbs my running will be easier!
06/02 192.8 approximate total cals 1873 so more like maintenance cals almost. well I didn't overeat but we had fried chicken for dinner due to company and I had potato salad (first time in forever) it was good but the carbs are sticking with me obviously. Lots of water today.
06/03 192.0 approximate total cals 1288 so on target there! hoping for a whoosh before the end of this round but body is not cooperating so far. NSV for today, my running partner told me today she could see some noticeable changes in my body so that was nice!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/27 231.8, ready for another round! Woke up to low blood sugar this morning, actually had to dump sugar in. (Insulin dosing is not an exact science, especially when one is losing weight. Last night's bedtime dose was apparently just a tad too much.) So with 6 AM "snacking" I am already going to have to budget calories for the rest of the day. Steps yesterday: 18,747; steps to date: 139,941, a little ahead of pace. Blister well bandaged but tender, most of my steps were in socks/no shoes at the office! With the hallways empty due to everyone teleworking, I got up and walked through every phone call. Today makes one month of 10 Days. Thanks, everyone for the help!
05/28 232.0, virtually unchanged. Steps 11,836 / 151,777. Perhaps instead of making my goal focus on snacking control it should have been exercising snacking control! I have bee focusing alright, I have far too much to focus on! I need to establish new habits.
05/29 231.8. Blood sugar has been doing well, can't wait for my next appointment with "Dr. Furious." That's not until late July, but I think he's going to be surprised (that I will have lost weight and my sugar is good), happy (at my results), and frustrated (that I haven't been eating correctly like this previously and therefore have had poor sugar in the past.) Steps 10,754/162,531. I wish my foot would heal so I could go for a real walk! This is probably going to set me back a week or more longer but it is my own fault. So more sock-walking in the hallways at work and flip flop walking around the yard at home! No worries, I'll get as many steps in as I can and won't fret about what I can't do. Besides, it forces better food discipline -- if there are no "exercise calories" to eat, I am forced to make better food choices instead. Have a great weekend, all.
05/30 231.8. steps only 8995. More later.
05/31 230.8, steps 8409. I am going to attempt to get a gauze bandage to stay taped onto my foot today and see if I can gradually start increasing the steps again. I need to find a work around or resolve myself to just sitting and waiting it out for whatever time it takes to heal. I have to at least get the from yard cut, the weeds are a foot high in places with all the rain. At least the scale finally moved in the right direction!
06/01 230.0, so close to my goal for this round! I haven't been below 230 in several years. I WANNA! Steps 9,718 / 189,653, basically right on pace for my July 1 step goal. Working from home for the next three days due to the troubles downtown. Lots of damage and debris. Pray for peace, pray for justice, and pray for each other.
I do want to share one NSV from yesterday. Meals and snack-buying have changed little around my house and some days just trying to eat with the family has been challenging for me. Breakthrough yesterday.... Wyfe and Princess (lives-nearby-always-here adult daughter) talked early in the day about doing tacos for dinner. I said my usual "I will have to work it out to see if I have the calories" speech. Princess says "how about if we do taco SALADS?" and I pointed out that the ground beef and the shell would still drive the calories. And so she suggested "How about we shred a Costco rotisserie chicken instead of beef and toss it with taco seasoning, and we throw it in a BOWL and put Tostidos on the side instead of using a shell?" A "aha moment" for the family, and a very nice dinner indeed! Lettuce, campari tomatoes, salsa, pic de gallo, kalamata olives, jarred jalapenos, shredded cheese, chicken, (plus sour cream for them) and (for me, only 5) Tostidos..... 412 calories that were tasty AND filling! And my family steered the meal this way in support of my efforts. Family support.... a small but meaningful NSV!
06/02 229.0 GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAL! Well, for the round, anyway. Steps 12,063 / 201,716. Embrace the momentum! 30 more pounds to ONEderland!
06/03 229.0. Steps only 5006. Very long, busy day of work, my butt cheeks are sore from sitting in this chair for 12+ hours. Will try to get up more today. Lack of any activity showed up in my blood sugar this morning too (157). Can't have that!

05/26 …..205.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/27 …..205.0 ….. No change. Today is going well (so far). Good luck everyone this round! I look forward to the (much needed) inspiration!
05/28 …..204.8 ….. Thankfully down a little. I went for the bloodwork on Tuesday and today I go back to see my doctor. Boy, am I ever scared! No, it has nothing to do with corona, temperature checks or masks. It has to do with my weight gain! I haven’t seen her since early fall and I am much fatter now. I am in big trouble!!!! Stay tuned….
05/29 …..204.7 …..
05/30 …..208.0 ….. Can you tell I had an unexpected trip out of town for business/building supplies? I didn't even get to post my weight yesterday. Posting today for both days. I arrived home last night. Way too many of both carbs and calories from the restaurant and travels which is clearly reflected on the scale. I am hoping some of this is water weight. We shall see. My Dr. Appointment on Thursday went as expected. Glucose too high, too much weight gain since fall and I have to take extra diabetic meds until weight goes back down. Stress eating has got to stop. I must get as many projects done as possible in June so I can get back out there walking and hiking for longer periods of time! I also miss walking at the school since it closed during the winter. More travel on Monday to go out of town for my 6 month comparison CT scan on my lungs (hopefully no breast cancer metastasized) and for more building supplies. I am going to try to make a positive impact on my weight all weekend.
05/31 …...206.8 ….. It never whooshes down quite as fast as it whooshes up, but I’ll take anything I can get! A busy workday today then more travel tomorrow. Today has GOT TO BE ON POINT!
06/01 …..206.8 ….. Travel again today. Today I get my CT scan to compare to 6 months ago when they found an “anomolly” on my lung. We are hoping it is not metastasized breast cancer. I have been in remission for a few years now. What they found on the lung last fall was new so there is that worry. I will also be picking up more remodeling supplies while near a big box hardware store. I will try to be a little more mindful than last time I travelled, but a restaurant will be part of the trip as it is going to be an all-day event and a long way away. Let’s hope I make decent choices while enjoying the city after my test. I won’t get results of the test until a telehealth appointment on June 10th.
06/02 …..208.2 ….. Had pizza during the travels. I didn’t eat the crust but it is still carb heavy. I will push water today and hope that what I saw this morning is all of it. Blazing HOT here today and no air conditioning. Miserable. A lot to do since I was gone yesterday. The first part of the month is always tough with a lot of bill paying etc. Getting back to it! Have a wonderful day everyone!
06/03 …..208.8 ….. Day before yesterday still showing up on the scale. Too much paperwork and sitting yesterday. Otherwise, the diet was pretty good. Another tremendously busy day today and tomorrow. I would love time to prep cook but I don’t know if I will fit it in. I have things I’ve prepped in the freezer that I will rely upon today.
06/04 …..xxxxx …..

@seawinters I just noticed your comment about the SF gummies. Yes, sugar alcohols are an excellent laxative for some. My daughter eats Russel Stover SF candies for that purpose. I made a beautiful, expensive low carb b-day cake for a friend. It was so yummy she and another friend ate a second slice and later paid the price! 🙁 I consider myself lucky in that I have never had that issue.3

05/30 191.4 ran 3 miles, approximate total cals 1698 It was raining but we waited 30 minutes and it cleared up. So humid, but we got it done. I was feeling really snacky last night but 100 cals over isn't that bad I guess.
05/31 191.6 approximate total cals 1380 trying to catch up on water today. I have had a bad headache every afternoon this week and it's really getting old and I want to eat chocolate and that's it.
06/01 191.8 approximate total cals 1558 which was a bit higher than I wanted, ended up having a 100 cal popsicle and 1.5 glass of wine last night before bed, just needed to unwind a bit. Still looking for a drop before the end of this round but approaching TOM is not helping in the least Ran 3 miles this morning and time was a bit quicker. In fact that is one of my big goals at the moment- I feel if I drop a few lbs my running will be easier!
06/02 192.8 approximate total cals 1873 so more like maintenance cals almost. well I didn't overeat but we had fried chicken for dinner due to company and I had potato salad (first time in forever) it was good but the carbs are sticking with me obviously. Lots of water today.
06/03 192.0 approximate total cals 1288 so on target there! hoping for a whoosh before the end of this round but body is not cooperating so far. NSV for today, my running partner told me today she could see some noticeable changes in my body so that was nice!

Congrats! Those are one of the best non scale victories! I think it makes you feel even better than the scale changing, especially because the scale is so variable.6 -
