We’re just grilling hotdogs 🌭 I prefer to accommodate things like celebration meals with lighter meals before/after.3 -

We're British so don't normally celebrate 4th July, but as it's a big step down tomorrow in the Covid restrictions I am calling it Independence Day for us too; hairdressers, barbers, pubs, campsite are all open - all with restrictions of course, but well worth a celebration !! So first thing I'm getting my hair cut and roots coloured - so excited, not done since 2nd March !!
After we arrive at the campsite for our evening meal we shall bbq of course; salmon steaks, new potatoes served with a wonderful fresh salad. Delicious!!!
Happy 4th July/Independence Day to all however you celebrate!!3 -

Goal for Round 118 - 58.7kg
Day/Weight/Comment
06/26 - 59.4kg, still sick so 1/2 as many steps as usual, eating is good, just realized bananas have heaps of sugar
06/27 - 59.4kg, to my horror this a.m. I realized I hadn't logged wine and rice crackers yesterday; < 5 cal deficit.
06/28 - 58.9kg, big drop! Winter weather and a puzzle kept me in yesterday so ate less than usual to compensate.
06/29 - 58.7kg, that's nice, already at goal for this round, finally able to get my steps up -- > 18,000 yesterday!
06/30 - 58.8kg, not quite enough walking yesterday, ate more than usual for dinner; Avocado for brekkie this am!
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...
07/03 - 58.5kg, oh a new low at last but not sure it will last, less steps these days - only about 12,000 a day
07/04 - 58.5kg, holding steady so that's good, 14,000 steps yesterday, eating was good, picked up some new food
07/05 -8 -
I love the idea of that salad— that’s all that’s in it is fruit and whites chocolate chips???
@UTMom81 - We celebrate Independence day Armenian style with kebab, grilled vegetables, and taboule. I'll make a red, white, and blue salad for dessert (strawberries, blueberries, and white chocolate chips which aren't really chocolate but as everyone knows - buttercream)

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.
Aims:
- 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
Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 118 🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.
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.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.

Total weight loss: 27.2 lb
Round 117 🔻 4.4lbs
Round 118 (SW 192)
06/26: 191.2 - I had a decent day yesterday. Had 23k steps and drank a few beers during my 2 sand volleyball games.. could’ve done better but could’ve been a lot worse! Hoping to hit the 180s this round.
06/27: 191.4- I’m completely fine with that. I try to do maintenance and relax on my diet a bit on the weekends. Didn’t eat the best and had a few drinks but was a good maintenance day!
06/28: DNW- today is my rest day. I did good yesterday and only ate 1400 calories while burning 1100 through exercise.
06/29: 192.2 ugh self sabotage.. I did so good on Friday and Saturday. Sunday came along and wine, nachos, wine, cupcakes, wine and more wine... ugh I think Sunday’s are hard for me because I hate going to work on Monday lol. Oh well 1 bad day out of 7 is a win. Back to the grind today.
06/30: 191.6 - well that’s a start. I’ll probably have a decent drop tomorrow or at least I’m hoping since I had a few pieces of meat topper pizza yesterday and that’s pretty salty.
07/01: 190.8- sooo close to the 180s!!
07/02: 190.2 - good day yesterday!
07/03: DNW- it would’ve been ugly with drinking a lot yesterday and TOM. Today hasn’t been the best either. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

That's 4 days in a row I've been the same weight. On the positive side I got through the weekend without seeing a gain. Now I need to stay focussed and aim for a drop this week.

My weight trend looks more like maintenance than losing. I've never been one for paying too much attention to macros but maybe that needs to change. I need to do something to start moving downwards.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 118 (round 50 for me ) I'm in for another round (of course!) – just keep going! Yet again thank you @GrandmaJackie, such a champion particularly in these unprecidented times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 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 !
Goal – get back to 132 for this round.... - aim to get back to & stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep the 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
06/26 134.8 – 10.45 miles walked yesterday, good food choices, 657 calories in credit, all macros in green.
06/27 134.8 – 11.33 miles walked yesterday, 429 calories in credit & all other macros in green.
06/28 135.8 – 6.43 miles walked yesterday. Calories over yesterday & sodium too; mussels for lunch !!
06/29 136.4 – 3.87 miles walked yesterday, drove up to DD's to care for 2 year old DGS#1 whilst SIL went to the hospital to sit with DGS#2 and DD came home to have an hour with DGS#1. The baby's condition is unchanged, consultant still believes he is suffering with a genetic condition preventing him from retaining glucose, constant feeding tube down his nose is still in place and poor little chappie is now also suffering with croup . He is really in the wars, plan is to move him to specialist children's hospital tomorrow and hopefully conclusive blood results should be in tomorrow to enable a treatment plan to be developed – fingers crossed.
06/30 136 – 12.3 miles walked yesterday, but a binge on chocolate covered peanuts which I just craved all day; no more in the house now! Once again must move on and crack down. Doing afternoon tea for my sisters in the garden – all socially distanced – but will do as lunch and some “goodies” are healthy ones, will get out for a walk this morning beforehand. Managed to change our caravan site booking to be closer both to our DD's house and to the specialist children's hospital where our DGS is being moved to today, it will be less time travelling up to give them support by taking his 2 year old brother for a few hours each day - still can't visit sick DGS due to C-19, hard times all round .
07/01 136 – 8.38 miles walked yesterday, still struggling foodwise, what I eat seems so insignificant compared to what my family is enduring!! Must try to get my head together!
07/02 136 – 9.35 miles walked yesterday, food a bit better; logged everything, 291 calories over calories out.
07/03 136 – 4.36 miles only walked yesterday ( up with DGS#1) hence 390 calories & 126 carbs over, but I'm still logging.
07/04 135.6 – 6.4 miles walked yesterday, food choices much better, 33 calories & 4 carbs over. Away for a week in our caravan later to day - first time since before C19 kicked in, taking my scales with me! Happy Independence Day everyone !!

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/
07/01–178.0--I feel pretty good about this. In my world, after a whoosh, there’s usually a bounce back up a bit. I worked hard yesterday to prevent that even though I fought hunger all day, and all I got was a .2 bounce. I ate within plan and got in three short walks yesterday spread out throughout the day as I had time. I also drank a lot of water to help curb the hunger, although much of it went unmeasured. If I can keep doing what I’ve been doing, hopefully the downward trend will continue.
07/02–177.2—This is awesome, but it may be dehydration. I don’t look for this to hold. Had a really good day with food intake yesterday—ate salads as my two main meals—one with chicken, one with boiled shrimp. Had a couple of drinks last night, which I haven’t done in months, though, so I don’t know how much of this is just dehydration. Fingers crossed!
07/03–176.4—This feels amazing! I have not given into little hunger pangs the last few days, but stuck with the plan. I also avoided (narrowly) a Dairy Queen Blizzard, and it paid off in spades! Now to figure out how to handle the holiday weekend without blowing this three pound loss. What are my American friends planning, food-wise, for your celebration (even if it is a semi-locked down celebration of Freedom)?
07/04–178.4—This is my body fighting back from the weight loss. I had another really good day yesterday with food intake. Could have had more exercise/activity, but even did well with water. My body just really fights losing weight. I have a healthy dinner planned for July 4th, family-only celebration here at home. Stayed up late last night watching the fireworks over Mt. Rushmore Celebration which was such a great ceremony, so I’ve only had about 4 hours sleep. Maybe that’s it, I don’t know. But, I will not let this derail me.
