06/26 - 59.4kg, still sick so 1/2 as many steps as usual, eating is good, just realized bananas have heaps of sugar

06/29 - gave myself a long diet break. Stopped doing keto for a while also. Had lots of issues with depression and stress with corona, postponing my wedding, and especially having my department defunded and needing to find a job. Want to do something good for myself though and get back to it so I'm starting over again. Tracking here always helped me to stick with my goals, so I'm jumping in mid challenge and hoping for the best.

👍🏼👍🏼 This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE. 👍🏼👍🏼

A few days late getting started here, but stepped on the scales this morning and was horrified (+5kg thanks to iso). Historically, the 'just give me 10 days' board is my best friend every time I need to jump start weight loss, so i'm back.... for the 7000000th time. Hello again everyone, its not-so-great to be back, but i'm happy to see you

Trying to follow 5:2 and also in week 8 of couch to 5k.

Round 117—SW: 181, EW: 179.6

Day/Weight/Comment
06/26–179.0--I’m getting better at focusing on what’s good for my body. Making better choices on a regular basis now. Mentally, I seem more in control than I’ve been in a very long time. Stayed within plan on eating and got in some gardening, house cleaning, and some walking yesterday even though I was super sore from the day before’s strenuous activities.
06/27–179.6—Overexerted yesterday and went to bed super sore, so some of this may be muscle stress. Made some less than perfect choices yesterday though, as well, but calories weren’t over by much. I think, if I manage today well, this will go down tomorrow. Need to focus on more protein, less carbs, and more water today.
06/28–179.4—Was hoping for a whoosh today, but it didn’t happen. At least it’s a small move in the right direction! Made good choices yesterday and stayed active, but didn’t overexert. Still got in over 10K steps and an exercise bike session. I was hungry last night at dinner, but still kept control, so I was proud of myself for that. At least I’m not soaring higher and higher like I did during the lockdown.
06/29–179.6—I must admit, this is frustrating. I’m doing a good job with calorie intake and I’m staying active too. The thing I need to do better on is water, so that is my goal today. I’ve got to make this work, and not just blow it off again, so today I will focus on water.
06/30–177.8—Happy dance, here! I did three miles of fast walking while pushing a stroller with an 18-pound baby and all her stuff (much harder for me than just walking), drank 70 ounces of water, and stayed within calories with good, healthy choices all day. It definitely paid off. But I really think it was good choices over the last few days that made this happen; my body just really fights losing weight, so it took a while. Now if I can just stay or get back here or below by the end of the round. Going to try hard NOT to blow this today. Oh, made another recipe my whole family loved yesterday for dinner, Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu. If you’re interested, here’s the link: https://www.skinnytaste.com/chicken-cordon-bleu/ It was yummy!

Day/Weight/Comment

6/26 159.4lbs. Back to counting calories, now just need to start my back exercises again. So much to do outside that I forget.

6/27 160.8 lbs Unexpected quests in the evening led to campfire, pizza, smores and a few beers. Ugh, way over on calories because I wasn't expecting to even eat in the evening. But a great time. I always thought it was harder to keep weight off in the winter but it is summer for me.

6/28 158.9 lbs So when I first weighed the scale was actually 20 lbs less, I have an old house and the wooden floor is wavy in spots, goodness get one board over and you loose weight, who needs a diet. LOL Just find the weight you like and weigh there.

06/26: 212.0 / Same as yesterday. Better than the first day of the last round. One day at a time.
06/27: 216.4 / a ridiculous nexus of poor choices yesterday and some factors beyond my control this morning. That is why I like to track averages.
06/28: 213.8 / I love combining my exercise (walking) with something I love. Went fishing yesterday without by boat, “the Kraken.” (I love to release the Kraken. Ha!) Walked my way around a small lake. Caught just enough to keep it interesting. I was scouting it as a possible place to bring my grandson fishing.
06/29: 211.4 / Lots of walking and I ate pretty well this Saturday and Sunday. Going-away party tonight for some friends leaving the state. I will endeavor to be a good boy. I would love to crack 211 this week.

06/26 117.8 Yesterday I ended up making the pork chops on the grill and they were so good! I just kept it basic and tossed them on plain and after they cooked for a bit I brushed them with some bbq sauce and cooked it a little longer. I also threw a summer squash and a kousa squash (the light green summer squash) on the grill. I didn’t get fancy with the squash either because I mixed it in with the left over black beans which had a good amount of flavor to them.
We did an awesome soccer workout this morning. For my lunch I need to use some cottage cheese I have, so I’m thinking about having some pineapple and granola to go on top of it. I’m not sure about dinner tonight. I guess we’ll just see where the day takes us.

06/27 117.8 Yesterday was a good day all around. Food was on point and we just had an enjoyab;e night of hanging out and played a couple rounds of poker together. Today has also been solid, I started my day with some sigi’s skyrr and added lemon curd and inulin to it. I topped it with CSA berries and some granola for breakfast.
Then, I did some meal prep by making a Thai inspired kale salad with quinoa, Harkurei turnips, bell pepper, cucumber, scallion and fresh basil, cilantro and mint. It was topped with a dressing that had lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, and honey (fish sauce optional but I left it out). Then I made some apple rhubarb muffins made with rolled oats and whole wheat pastry flour as a base. I got the idea from the cookbook “Dishing Up the Dirt”, which is one of my new favorite cookbooks. I haven’t tried the muffins but I will be momentarily after I finish the yummy kale salad! Next on the agenda is to clean out some of the basement. Oh what fun that will be! Although it will be nice when it’s clean. Have a good Saturday everyone!

06/28 118.0 Yesterday was awesome for getting things cleaned around the house. The basement cleaning was a success and it feels so much better there. Those muffins also came out really good too! I started my day with doing dishes and finishing up some cleaning. Then I made my first meal of Siggi’s Skyrr with inulin. Lemon curd, fresh apples, and granola on top. It was very filling and tasty! I’m going to have a big salad later to use up the rest of our CSA lettuce because we’ll be getting more tomorrow. Dinner will be a broccoli and shitake mushroom stir fry.
Yesterday, I did an awesome workout on the spin bike, so today will be a rest day because Friday was a pretty heavy soccer workout too.

06/29 119.2 Yesterday was a great day for some much needed chill time. This weight is pure water fluctuation and part of the reason I am tracking my weight daily. Dinner was good last night, not the healthiest but good for the soul. We had a frozen General Tso’s chicken meal that tasted like it came from a restaurant. I also cooked some broccoli and shitake mushrooms with it. I probably had two or two and half cups worth of veggies with it.
Today we did another soccer workout but skipped the ball work and just did various running drills using the cones. It was fun and was never the same for too long. I have yogurt with fruit and granola planned for breakfast and maybe one of the apple rhubarb muffins. Or maybe a muffin with a fried egg or two and the yogurt with fruit for snack. Decisions, decisions… It’s CSA day, so I’m pumped for that! On that note, I’m off to start my day working from home! Happy Monday everyone!

06/30 118.0 Yesterday was a tough day emotionally for me. I got through it and feel a bit better today but there is a lot of unknown in my personal life with a family member sick but hopefully we’ll have some answers soon. Then, I found out that my boss is leaving which I was really sad about but I’m also really happy for her new opportunity. All I have to keep telling myself is that everything happens for a reason and eventually I find good from any situation.

Getting the CSA was fun though! We went for a nice walk this morning and even found black raspberries along the way. So that was a yummy little treat! I have turkey sausage hash on the agenda tonight for dinner. I’ll be using leftover roasted potatoes and squash from last night's dinner. I’m looking forward to trying the sausage because it’s from our meat CSA and we haven’t tried any yet. Enjoy your Tuesday!
