Day/Weight/Comment
06/26 181.2 My scale tricked me. Started to show a low 180 number then flipped up to this. 😝

06/27 182.4 Did this to myself. Late night binge. Partly because I didn’t have my usual snacks in the house so I didn’t have a good low calorie satisfier. And partly because it was a massive week at work and this was my “I’m done, I deserve to eat” reaction. Meal planning, grocery shopping and meal prep today!!

06/28 182.0 Didn’t overdo it good-wise yesterday, so happy about that. Still need to make my salads for today.

06/28 181.2 Not bad for a Monday morning. Kept it under control for the weekend. Hoping to get lower by the end of the week!

06/30 181.4 Had a bit of a midday binge (wasn’t feeling well) but stayed under maintenance. However ended the night with a can of soup, so high sodium.

07/01 181.2

07/02 180.8 New low. Now can I keep it? Well under green yesterday from being too busy to snack, then filling up on taco-spiced cauliflower rice at dinner. That’s a trick I need to use again!

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

6/30 118.0 Expected gain. Yesterday I had my first REAL bagel in over a decade. I ate the whole thing which was at least 3 times my daily carb limit.
7/1 118.0 vertigo
7/2 118.5 had a high carb drink yesterday evening. Our OMAD has crept to 5 or later. Today it will be around 3 so I can go meet my gal pals and DH can go to a meeting. Virtual doctor appointment yesterday was great. My cholesterol has AGAIN improved while eating LCHF. We are both slightly anemic from giving blood donation 2 weeks earlier. Who knew it it could take 2-3 MONTHS to get your hemoglobin back up at our age!?! So adding iron to the pill boxes! He also wants me to take gabapentin to see if it helps my leg (sciatica) and that concerns me because it can cause weight gain.

@UTMom81 I took the previously recommended combination of OTC products and the vertigo was gone in a couple of hours or less. Thank you. Vertigo is miserable!!

I achieved my original goal of losing weight to get pregnant last year! Baby is here (4 months old) and so is all the weight I lost! Figured its time to get back to some better habits! I think the last JGMTD was in the 60s!

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 nights dinner. I’m looking forward to trying the sausage because it’s from our meat CSA and we haven’t tried any yet.

07/01 118.0 Yesterday was a good day for me all around. Food went well and the hash I made for dinner was yummy! It was a touch salty because of the sausage but if we get that type of sausage again I will use butternut squash or sweet potato with it to balance the sweetness. I multitasked last night during dinner prep and made some honey cardamom tahini granola. I didn’t get a chance to try it cooked, but I can’t wait for my breakfast today because I’m having that with yogurt and CSA berries. Tonight, I’ll be making some pesto pasta for dinner. I’ll be making the pesto with the radish greens, turnip greens, garlic scapes, basil and some kale stems. I might throw some fresh oregano in it too because our plant is exploding right now.
Today we did a running workout around the soccer fields by our house. It was misty and the ground was saturated so we didn’t want to be doing our usual workout to prevent falls/injuries. After running today, I have no idea how I’ve done two half marathons in the past. We did a total of 3ish miles running around the fields and 4ish miles total if you include the walk to and from our house. My body was so over running by the end of the workout haha. I think I much prefer the soccer drills, intervals and variety now rather than just straight running. Anyways…Have a good Wednesday!
Here's the link to the granola recipe: http://dishingupthedirt.com/recipes/honey-cardamom-tahini-granola/

I tweaked it a bit, so we'll see how my version came out this morning

07/02 117.2 The granola I made the other day came out yummy! It didn’t crisp up as much but it’s more like the texture of a chewy granola bar and oatmeal cookie. If I had cooked it longer it would have been crunchier but I actually like it for a change in texture. The pesto I made last night was decent but not as good as one that I made a couple weeks ago. I plan on having the sausage and potato hash leftovers for dinner tonight.

We went for a really nice almost 6 mile walk this morning and it felt really good to have the sun shining on us after a few days of cloudy/rainy weather. I have tomorrow off from work and hoping to do more cleaning of our space. Enjoy your day!

07/01 - 58.8kg, not much going on with the weight, the weather sucks and I have to go out to lunch today...
07/02 - 58.9kg so 4 steps back, steps were okay, lunch was okay, dinner was not great, hard to figure calories...

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 hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back doing 5 miles a day!

The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

@aFit50 you're inspiring me to show you all my steps. I need that accountability too. I've been behind my computer teaching summer school, but I need to get out and move for my sanity and body.

I'm so glad! I've only been doing it myself for about 6 weeks now. A rude awakening made me realize how little I'd been moving during lockdown. Stress eating way too many snacks, I gained 23lbs FAST! I'm still working off the last of it so I feel ya. Even WFH, I'm glued to my desk ridiculous hours. So now, I just remind myself to do something as often as possible. Even fidgeting counts, lol

@Kuhl50 cauliflower rice is the bomb-diggety, lol ~ and so easy to flavor! the stuff

Ready for round 118 {55th for me}
OSW 88KG
RSW 58.3 (-28.7 kg) or {63.3lbs}
Last round did the trick. I'd like to reach 58kg which is low end of maintenance.

06/26 58.0kg although scale was a bit crazy this morning. Slipped into 57.6 but I went with the higher number.
06/27 60.50kg ooops
06/28 58.95kg a bit better
06/29 60.05kg...more mindfulness needed! Oh and less calories. I'm on it
06/30 60.1kg is not how I wanted to end this month. But I know I can get to 58kg so I'm on that journey again
07/01 60.15kg but things are moving... Hoping for a drop tomorrow

07/02 59.2kg is a bit more like it!
