Round 121 SW: 186.6 (on 7/25/20)
7/26 – 185.9 This is a glorious day as I have been recently struggling with the 187 speedbump. I’ve now had TWO days under 187 and I think it’s going to stick!
7/27 – 186.2 – Not surprising, because I had some rice with a little soy sauce with dinner last night and that always makes me retain a little water.
7/28 – 186.3 – I guess that exciting “dip” was just a tease. That’s okay. It is cardio day on the stationary bike so hopefully I’ll get this moving back in the other direction.
7/29 – 186.3 – Holding steady here, not bad. I’m really not feeling well today so I’m just going to try to take it easy.
7/30 – 185.4 – There we go! Yesterday, I got in my steps, logged my food and drank tea as I tried to rest a bit.

7/26: 171 nice round number to start R121
7/27: 170.1 Glimpse of the "0" back from last round. Lots of gym activities for me over the weekend. A bit worried going into the week. The gym is not as ready of an option with my work/sleep routine; and mother-nature is dishing out extreme heat which doesn't work out well for me walking outside during my lunch time. Tune in tomorrow to see how I resolve this activity quandary!
7/28: 169.8 Blessed with a cooling rain so a nice evening for my walk. Can't credit the BIG 3 oz loss solely to that. All I can say is don't mistakenly take a magnesium supplement instead of your crazy pill on an empty stomach. In a desperate attempt to keep what is likely not a fat loss, I just got back from a fasted hour walk in the low 80's sunshine. Plan to take the pup on a shorter one when it cools off this evening--gotta stay on her good side.;)
7/29: 170.0 Feels like a solid pound lost since the beginning of the round. YAY! I feel more "centered" once I inexplicably nudge up a couple ounces after following all my rules for several days in a row. Something comforting about knowing that lower number lives because it's been achieved. Maybe those ounces are in transformation, too? Fat-to-Water-to-Muscle-to burn Fat-to-Water to....? So I made that last part up--I don't know if that is how the body burns or not, but it feels like how my "extra" is rolling right now. (pun intended):*
7/30: 171.1 Speaking of inexplicable...I noticed many of us bumped up overnight, more than a few ozs in some cases, despite doing everything right. (Except for @luksterdog118 --congrats on solidly landing in the 160's!) Oddly enough, my mirror and my scale are not synced. I look so much healthier than I did last round and even yesterday when I was over a pound lighter--lol! So I share this to say that our daily victories are where we find them, scales be damned! Keep pushing 10-day Fit Fam!

07/26- 185.2 had a great day worked out and spent the day by the pool so excited for this loss finally but worried if I can maintain it
07/27 184.8 finally some movement, eat less than normal since my stomach was bothering me. Took a day off from workout
07/28 183.8 another good day it seems, I am scared to believe it is true. I worked out and was under for my calories.
07/29 184.4 completed my work out and under on calories
07/30 184.4 went to beach and made sure I squeezed in arms workout before my sons baseball game. Eating was good but not perfect

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. July: focus is on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale Aims:
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 ✅
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.

7/28: DNW, been a little out of sorts after a fabulous bike wreck. Took a week off of everything. Appetite was crazy, exercise was forbidden (concussion & Contusions everywhere), and it was TOM. I honestly just didn't want to look at the scale. Tomorrow I take the blinders off and assess the damage...
7/29: 171.4, not as bad as I thought it would be. I had a late dinner last night and with TOM, it is probably 170.x in reality. I can deal with that. Thanks for the "hugs" all.
7/30: 172.2, Well yesterday was awful food wise, I had 2 pieces of pie and some Great American Cookie cookie cake. Barely exercised. I gotta get back on board before I completely self destruct!

Goal weight for this round: Somewhere in the low 116 or 115 range About me:
I love learning about food and everything about it; from the way it acts in the body to learning to cook a new recipe. I went to school for nutrition (got my bachelor's) but I didn’t become an RD because it didn’t feel like the path for me. I guess I wanted to keep it as more of an interest instead of a career. I then went into public health to further my education and I currently help medically complex patients by connecting them with community resources to improve their health and life. I enjoy helping family and friends when they ask for advice related to food and nutrition. Plus, it helps me brush up on what I spent so much time learning!
I’m here because when I’m not paying attention to what I eat, I start to gain and feel uncomfortable in my body. For me that results in frustration and a lot of other emotions. It has also increased my cholesterol in the past (It’s good now as far as I know thanks to diet and exercise). I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, and all that fun stuff. So, I want to prevent that for myself by getting a hold of my food habits now.
I’m always open to conversation about food and nutrition, so feel free to reach out to me!
Previous days’ entries
07/26 117.2 Starting at the same weight I ended in round 119 thanks to eating a whole lot of salt on Friday after our hike. As semblances of normal life start creeping back in like takeout food, I find it harder to resist. Especially when it’s right in my face (Like my in-laws ordering takeout and wanting us to eat upstairs with them). I have a hard time saying no to those things because I enjoy them. One positive is that I feel like I did well last week and made a huge volume of summer squash to go with a minimal amount of Chinese food I ended up eating (maybe 1 cup worth of General Tso’s chicken, one chicken finger, and ½ cup pork fried rice, a fried dough ball, then a mountain of sautéed zucchini/summer squash). That method worked pretty well, I felt satisfied afterwards, but it took a while to feel full. I wanted to eat more but resisted.
I know I said going into this it would be tough because the lower you go the harder it is to get to the goal number at my height. I just need to remind myself of that and keep on chugging because I love the changes I have seen and feel very comfortable in my own skin. I just don’t want to feel uncomfortable again…which can happen if takeout becomes a habit.
So cheers to a new round with a new focus and challenges of not letting takeout food get in the way of my success.
07/27 117.2 Solid start to the day with a good soccer workout before the 100 degree plus humidity weather rolls in. I made a new batch of granola yesterday and added some crushed up brown rice cakes to it to add some bulk without a lot of calories. I’m excited to try it with my fruit and yogurt for breakfast.
It’s CSA pick up today and I got an email saying there will be peaches in it, so I’m very excited to try those! I love in season and local peaches! They are so so yummyyyyy! We’ll also be getting kohlrabi which will be fun to cook with! I love kohlrabi just sliced and munched on raw. So much yummy produce is really going to start rolling in and I’m so excited about it!
I’m also feeling refreshed after my mini vacation last week of having Wednesday to Friday off work.
07/28 118.0 Salt is not my friend. Had Thai food last night and wasn’t over on anything numbers wise. Done with takeout for a while. My husband really wanted it last night and I caved because it sounded way too good as I was really hungry at the time. Bleck,now I pay. Hoping the water weight doesn’t stick around because it doesn’t feel good being all swollen. I felt it in my fingers and face this morning snd hoping it fades.
Besides that, we went for a really nice walk this morning at around 5ish miles and it included black berry picking! So that was fun coming home with about a pint of wild black berries to accompany our CSA blueberries, apples and peaches in the fridge. I have healthy food all planned out for today and planning to stick to it.
07/29 119.2 Water weight is crazy right now. Besides that, I had a really good soccer workout this morning. I also switched up my breakfast routine today because I had leftover kielbasa to finish up. So I browned the kielbasa (4 oz) slices in a pan and then threw in an egg. Then on the side, I had a slice of whole wheat raisin toast (Angelic Bakehouse brand) topped with ½ tbs peanut butter along with some blueberries and blackberries. It was a pretty balanced breakfast and it’ll be interesting to see how well it keeps me satisfied.
07/30 117.0 Finally got the whoosh of water weight released. I can feel it too! My fingers don’t feel swollen which is nice 😊. We went for a really nice walk this morning. I think it clocked in at about 6.5ish miles. I think I’ll be frying an egg to go with my yogurt and fruit this morning. Then for a snack I’ll have some fresh kohlrabi and cucumbers. I’ll probably have a couple pieces of dried fruit with it too for a sweet treat. I’m looking forward to possibly having a taco salad for dinner tonight! Have a good day!
@StotheAndy When I was cutting portions I would ask for a box when I ordered my meal and put half in the box as soon as the meal was brought to the table.
@deepwoodslady Donna, I’m so sorry you have lost your fur baby. She will live on in your heart and memories. 🙏
@Tesha231 “Our daily victories are where we find them.” My BFF was not happy and wanted to move or something and her counselor told her, “Wherever you go, there you are!” What an eye opener!! Our happiness comes from ourselves.

7/26 - 181.2
It’s a lovely morning but heating up fast. Birthday cake on tap for DH, but I’m planning the rest of my day to compensate, and will be spreading soil in my new garden bed, so that should burn a few calories. I’m determined to lower my calorie average by at least 100 this round, and to up my exercise. Have a gorgeous Sunday, all. Be safe & healthy. 🌸❤️🌼🥗🌻
7/27 - 181.8
Oooh, the cake was good. And lasagna for DH’s birthday dinner. Salad today, baby! I did do a couple hours worth of hard labor in the garden — I’m turning the lawn at one side of the house into flowers, so schlepped a lot of 40-lb bands of soil around. More today, then compost. Better than the gym!
7/28 - 182.8
Cake + no walk due to lightning + a bit of munching last night = bloat + weight gain. Back with the program today. I want to get back to running, so am thinking of doing a round of C25K starting tomorrow. Planning a nice walk this evening. I’m off to buy more soil — I have about half the lawn covered for my side-yard garden. Yesterday was horrible hot, but it’s lovely today, so I need dirt! These days, I dream in flowers.
7/29 - 181.8
I almost finished laying the new garden bed yesterday — today’s the day! I’ll do that this morning (12 more 40-lb bags of soil will be my weight training) and then I’m off for a long walk along the river this afternoon. Now to eat well at meals and slay the snack monster....
7/30 - 182.8
Aaack. But I did eat salty yesterday and had an adult beverage last night, which I rarely do, but I finished laying out my new garden space (below). Now I wait for the paper under the soil to decompose, and in the spring I’ll plant a wide variety of flowers for birds, bees, butterflies, moths, and me! That’s 2,240 pounds of soil there!

7/26: 220.6 Yesterday’s number was a big drop, I said then that a lot of it was probably water. Just balancing out today.
7/27: 221.4 My scale was acting weird last night (display light on and flickering when it hadn’t been touched since that morning) and I had to replace the battery this morning, so I can totally blame this bump on that, right? In all seriousness, I’m still lower than three days ago...still balancing out that big one-day drop, I guess. Follow the trend, not the fluctuations. It’s why I post the chart.
7/28: 222.6 Right...there’s no “just balancing out the fluctuations” or “follow the trend” here. I had a mini fast food binge yesterday, and I gained. Time to get back on track.
7/29: 222.4 Was hoping for a bigger drop, but at least it’s in the right direction at last!
Count me in! This is my first time doing this challenge, and I am really looking forward to it!
Due to gastric sleeve surgery, I don't have much of a stomach so I don't eat much. But I do have to watch my carbs and fat content, and I have to get a LOT of protein in each day. Naturally, I also have to get in 64 oz or more of water every day to keep from dehydrating.

Wednesday 07/29 - 145.6 - New low. Went back to bed this morning, so got this great number either from being more rested or having 2 more hours before weighing to sleep off a few calories.

OSW 88KG
RSW 59.15 kg (-28.85kg) or {-63.6 lbs}
I reached my ultimate goal of 58kg in round 118 then totally sabotaged myself ending up the biggest I've been this year! Goal this round is to finish at 59.x kg. Also starting a new training regime for a month so I'll see how that affects weight and measurements
07/26 60.1kg...late night wine and nuts on top of no activity . Not like the new me. Today will be better
07/27 61.25kg before workout but still not good. Starting new exercise program this week. Let's see how it goes. Similar pattern to last week. Need to stop weekend excess
07/28 61.0kg before workout which is all about heavy lifting. Looking to get leaner and stronger even if weight doesn't go down much.
07/29 60.1kg.
07/30 60.80kg before workout. {60.05kg after} Muscles ache!
Total W/BF% lost: 7.4/0.8
Average W/BF% lost per round: 10.57/1.14
Round 121 goal: Maintain (0.0) (adjusted from 2.0)
7/26: 235.2 (+1.6)/20.2 (+0.2). I had some company over last night (social-distancing on the outdoor patio), and I had a "cheat-meal" and three drinks. The meal was more of a quantity issue than quality; I'm going to treat it like the "slip" it was. I have another "outing" this evening (outdoor social-distancing visit) with my wife at my brother-in-law's home. I'm not sure what we're eating, but I'm going to go into it with portion control (and no more more than a drink or two) in mind.
7/27: 235.8 (+0.6)/20.2 (0.0). I went to with my wife to my brother-in-law's yesterday, and "it could have been worse." I had a couple of drinks, I ate reasonably (probably 1.5 times what I would have had if I was alone), and it's really hard to stay on target when I'm not completely in control of everything. Spending time with others twice in a short weekend (every other weekend is three days for me) is unusual. I'm going to be 100% on-plan for the next five days (including this one). Let's see how long it takes to get back to where I was this past Friday. I'm adjusting my goal for this week, hoping that I can end up where I started at the end of last challenge.
7/28: 234.8 (-1.0)/20.1 (-0.1). It always feels good to see the scale move in the right direction. I stuck to my plan 100% yesterday, I had lots of water, and I got lots of rest. My back is feeling MUCH better, although it's "tender" in one spot that does not make much sense to me. I used Salonpas on it a couple of times, in that one spot, but I haven't used it for at least four days. It remains very sensitive in that one spot, but not sensitive in a "back pain" sort of way. It feels almost like I had a really bad sunburn, but only in that spot. Nothing is swollen, and the area has no discoloration or redness. Maybe it's time to contact my doctor.
7/29: 233.4 (-1.4)/20.0 (-0.1). Ah, the beginning stages of weight loss! It's so much fun to be able to make up for a "slightly bad" weekend with two days of sticking to my plan. And, as write this, I understand that this is not usually how it works. In my life, it takes 2-3 times the effort to counteract the effects of any one "moment." Remembering this helps keep me on track. It keeps me from grabbing for that last drink, from eating that last bite, and from sometimes engaging in behaviors that are not consistent with my goals. Thank you to everyone who has expressed concern about my back (and about me in general). I'm seeing my chiropractor today, so hopefully I'll have some good news tomorrow. As always, when I'm in this group, I feel loved.
7/30: 233.0 (-0.4)/19.9 (-0.1). I slightly oversnacked last night, but I was overall on-point and sticking to my plan. I also made it to the chiropractor yesterday. I actually had a bit of a lower back spasm while I was on the table, but he was still able to adjust me, so I'm hopeful my back will get back to normal soon. He didn't seem concerned about my "sensitivity" in that area of my lower back. He said that Salonpas is known to cause some skin/soft tissue irritation; plus, it seems to be feeling less sensitive every day. Other good news: I'm having a pool table installed on my covered patio tomorrow morning, and I'm getting a table tennis "top" for it soon, so I should have some reasons to get off my @$$ soon. I miss basketball, and I miss going to the gym, but I really need to get my body moving. Sad news: I went to see my "brother" yesterday (my mother's 15-year-old American Eskimo), probably for the last time. My poor little old man can barely walk, but he's absolutely beautiful (he looks like he's 4 or 5 years old). I said my goodbyes, but I'm quick-to-tears today thinking about him.
@tesha231 Damn straight on the NSV's (non-scale victories). I know what a healthy weight is for me, but I also pay attention to how my clothes fit (e.g., being able to recently button a pair of shorts that I could not do that with two weeks ago).
@katterin227 I love your graph! Where did you get it from?

1st Round for me!! Goal for this round is just to make some downward progress.
Round 121 SW: 186.6 (on 7/25/20)
7/26 – 185.9 This is a glorious day as I have been recently struggling with the 187 speedbump. I’ve now had TWO days under 187 and I think it’s going to stick!
7/27 – 186.2 – Not surprising, because I had some rice with a little soy sauce with dinner last night and that always makes me retain a little water.
7/28 – 186.3 – I guess that exciting “dip” was just a tease. That’s okay. It is cardio day on the stationary bike so hopefully I’ll get this moving back in the other direction.
7/29 – 186.3 – Holding steady here, not bad. I’m really not feeling well today so I’m just going to try to take it easy.
7/30 – 185.4 – There we go! Yesterday, I got in my steps, logged my food and drank tea as I tried to rest a bit.

Need to dip my toe into the 160's!
IF: 16:8
7/26: 171 nice round number to start R121
7/27: 170.1 Glimpse of the "0" back from last round. Lots of gym activities for me over the weekend. A bit worried going into the week. The gym is not as ready of an option with my work/sleep routine; and mother-nature is dishing out extreme heat which doesn't work out well for me walking outside during my lunch time. Tune in tomorrow to see how I resolve this activity quandary!
7/28: 169.8 Blessed with a cooling rain so a nice evening for my walk. Can't credit the BIG 3 oz loss solely to that. All I can say is don't mistakenly take a magnesium supplement instead of your crazy pill on an empty stomach. In a desperate attempt to keep what is likely not a fat loss, I just got back from a fasted hour walk in the low 80's sunshine. Plan to take the pup on a shorter one when it cools off this evening--gotta stay on her good side.;)
7/29: 170.0 Feels like a solid pound lost since the beginning of the round. YAY! I feel more "centered" once I inexplicably nudge up a couple ounces after following all my rules for several days in a row. Something comforting about knowing that lower number lives because it's been achieved. Maybe those ounces are in transformation, too? Fat-to-Water-to-Muscle-to burn Fat-to-Water to....? So I made that last part up--I don't know if that is how the body burns or not, but it feels like how my "extra" is rolling right now. (pun intended):*
7/30: 171.1 Speaking of inexplicable...I noticed many of us bumped up overnight, more than a few ozs in some cases, despite doing everything right. (Except for @luksterdog118 --congrats on solidly landing in the 160's!) Oddly enough, my mirror and my scale are not synced. I look so much healthier than I did last round and even yesterday when I was over a pound lighter--lol! So I share this to say that our daily victories are where we find them, scales be damned! Keep pushing 10-day Fit Fam!

07/26- 185.2 had a great day worked out and spent the day by the pool so excited for this loss finally but worried if I can maintain it
07/27 184.8 finally some movement, eat less than normal since my stomach was bothering me. Took a day off from workout
07/28 183.8 another good day it seems, I am scared to believe it is true. I worked out and was under for my calories.
07/29 184.4 completed my work out and under on calories
07/30 184.4 went to beach and made sure I squeezed in arms workout before my sons baseball game. Eating was good but not perfect

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.
July: focus is on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
Back Story:
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.

7/28: DNW, been a little out of sorts after a fabulous bike wreck. Took a week off of everything. Appetite was crazy, exercise was forbidden (concussion & Contusions everywhere), and it was TOM. I honestly just didn't want to look at the scale. Tomorrow I take the blinders off and assess the damage...
7/29: 171.4, not as bad as I thought it would be. I had a late dinner last night and with TOM, it is probably 170.x in reality. I can deal with that. Thanks for the "hugs" all.
7/30: 172.2, Well yesterday was awful food wise, I had 2 pieces of pie and some Great American Cookie cookie cake. Barely exercised. I gotta get back on board before I completely self destruct!

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2
Goal weight for this round: Somewhere in the low 116 or 115 range
About me:
I’m here because when I’m not paying attention to what I eat, I start to gain and feel uncomfortable in my body. For me that results in frustration and a lot of other emotions. It has also increased my cholesterol in the past (It’s good now as far as I know thanks to diet and exercise). I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, and all that fun stuff. So, I want to prevent that for myself by getting a hold of my food habits now.
I’m always open to conversation about food and nutrition, so feel free to reach out to me!
I know I said going into this it would be tough because the lower you go the harder it is to get to the goal number at my height. I just need to remind myself of that and keep on chugging because I love the changes I have seen and feel very comfortable in my own skin. I just don’t want to feel uncomfortable again…which can happen if takeout becomes a habit.
So cheers to a new round with a new focus and challenges of not letting takeout food get in the way of my success.
07/27 117.2 Solid start to the day with a good soccer workout before the 100 degree plus humidity weather rolls in. I made a new batch of granola yesterday and added some crushed up brown rice cakes to it to add some bulk without a lot of calories. I’m excited to try it with my fruit and yogurt for breakfast.
It’s CSA pick up today and I got an email saying there will be peaches in it, so I’m very excited to try those! I love in season and local peaches! They are so so yummyyyyy! We’ll also be getting kohlrabi which will be fun to cook with! I love kohlrabi just sliced and munched on raw. So much yummy produce is really going to start rolling in and I’m so excited about it!
I’m also feeling refreshed after my mini vacation last week of having Wednesday to Friday off work.
07/28 118.0 Salt is not my friend. Had Thai food last night and wasn’t over on anything numbers wise. Done with takeout for a while. My husband really wanted it last night and I caved because it sounded way too good as I was really hungry at the time. Bleck,now I pay. Hoping the water weight doesn’t stick around because it doesn’t feel good being all swollen. I felt it in my fingers and face this morning snd hoping it fades.
Besides that, we went for a really nice walk this morning at around 5ish miles and it included black berry picking! So that was fun coming home with about a pint of wild black berries to accompany our CSA blueberries, apples and peaches in the fridge. I have healthy food all planned out for today and planning to stick to it.
07/29 119.2 Water weight is crazy right now. Besides that, I had a really good soccer workout this morning. I also switched up my breakfast routine today because I had leftover kielbasa to finish up. So I browned the kielbasa (4 oz) slices in a pan and then threw in an egg. Then on the side, I had a slice of whole wheat raisin toast (Angelic Bakehouse brand) topped with ½ tbs peanut butter along with some blueberries and blackberries. It was a pretty balanced breakfast and it’ll be interesting to see how well it keeps me satisfied.
07/30 117.0 Finally got the whoosh of water weight released. I can feel it too! My fingers don’t feel swollen which is nice 😊. We went for a really nice walk this morning. I think it clocked in at about 6.5ish miles. I think I’ll be frying an egg to go with my yogurt and fruit this morning. Then for a snack I’ll have some fresh kohlrabi and cucumbers. I’ll probably have a couple pieces of dried fruit with it too for a sweet treat. I’m looking forward to possibly having a taco salad for dinner tonight! Have a good day!
@deepwoodslady Donna, I’m so sorry you have lost your fur baby. She will live on in your heart and memories. 🙏

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.

7/26 - 181.2
It’s a lovely morning but heating up fast. Birthday cake on tap for DH, but I’m planning the rest of my day to compensate, and will be spreading soil in my new garden bed, so that should burn a few calories. I’m determined to lower my calorie average by at least 100 this round, and to up my exercise. Have a gorgeous Sunday, all. Be safe & healthy. 🌸❤️🌼🥗🌻
7/27 - 181.8
Oooh, the cake was good. And lasagna for DH’s birthday dinner. Salad today, baby! I did do a couple hours worth of hard labor in the garden — I’m turning the lawn at one side of the house into flowers, so schlepped a lot of 40-lb bands of soil around. More today, then compost. Better than the gym!
7/28 - 182.8
Cake + no walk due to lightning + a bit of munching last night = bloat + weight gain. Back with the program today. I want to get back to running, so am thinking of doing a round of C25K starting tomorrow. Planning a nice walk this evening. I’m off to buy more soil — I have about half the lawn covered for my side-yard garden. Yesterday was horrible hot, but it’s lovely today, so I need dirt! These days, I dream in flowers.
7/29 - 181.8
I almost finished laying the new garden bed yesterday — today’s the day! I’ll do that this morning (12 more 40-lb bags of soil will be my weight training) and then I’m off for a long walk along the river this afternoon. Now to eat well at meals and slay the snack monster....
7/30 - 182.8
Aaack. But I did eat salty yesterday and had an adult beverage last night, which I rarely do, but I finished laying out my new garden space (below). Now I wait for the paper under the soil to decompose, and in the spring I’ll plant a wide variety of flowers for birds, bees, butterflies, moths, and me! That’s 2,240 pounds of soil there!

7/26: 220.6 Yesterday’s number was a big drop, I said then that a lot of it was probably water. Just balancing out today.
7/27: 221.4 My scale was acting weird last night (display light on and flickering when it hadn’t been touched since that morning) and I had to replace the battery this morning, so I can totally blame this bump on that, right? In all seriousness, I’m still lower than three days ago...still balancing out that big one-day drop, I guess. Follow the trend, not the fluctuations. It’s why I post the chart.
7/28: 222.6 Right...there’s no “just balancing out the fluctuations” or “follow the trend” here. I had a mini fast food binge yesterday, and I gained. Time to get back on track.
7/29: 222.4 Was hoping for a bigger drop, but at least it’s in the right direction at last!
7/30: 220.4 There it is.

Due to gastric sleeve surgery, I don't have much of a stomach so I don't eat much. But I do have to watch my carbs and fat content, and I have to get a LOT of protein in each day. Naturally, I also have to get in 64 oz or more of water every day to keep from dehydrating.
Starting weight: 228.8 lbs
07/26 228.8
07/27 227.8 got in all of my protein and water for the day, got in LOTS of steps
07/28 226.4
07/29 226.4 had more fat grams than I should have
07/30 226 had more carbs than I should have and should have gotten in more steps for the day

07/26:
Monday 07/27 - 147.7 - loving the accountability of 10 day chunks.
Tuesday 07/28 - 147.3 - I see that it took me 8 months of these rounds to lose 10 pounds, I have 30+ more to go, trying to work hard and be patient.
Wednesday 07/29 - 145.6 - New low. Went back to bed this morning, so got this great number either from being more rested or having 2 more hours before weighing to sleep off a few calories.
Thursday 07/30 - 144.5 - Wow, quite a drop. This going back to bed is really working for me.

RSW 59.15 kg (-28.85kg) or {-63.6 lbs}
I reached my ultimate goal of 58kg in round 118 then totally sabotaged myself ending up the biggest I've been this year! Goal this round is to finish at 59.x kg. Also starting a new training regime for a month so I'll see how that affects weight and measurements
07/26 60.1kg...late night wine and nuts on top of no activity . Not like the new me. Today will be better
07/27 61.25kg before workout but still not good. Starting new exercise program this week. Let's see how it goes. Similar pattern to last week. Need to stop weekend excess
07/28 61.0kg before workout which is all about heavy lifting. Looking to get leaner and stronger even if weight doesn't go down much.
07/29 60.1kg.
07/30 60.80kg before workout. {60.05kg after} Muscles ache!

7/26: 235.2 (+1.6)/20.2 (+0.2). I had some company over last night (social-distancing on the outdoor patio), and I had a "cheat-meal" and three drinks. The meal was more of a quantity issue than quality; I'm going to treat it like the "slip" it was. I have another "outing" this evening (outdoor social-distancing visit) with my wife at my brother-in-law's home. I'm not sure what we're eating, but I'm going to go into it with portion control (and no more more than a drink or two) in mind.
7/27: 235.8 (+0.6)/20.2 (0.0). I went to with my wife to my brother-in-law's yesterday, and "it could have been worse." I had a couple of drinks, I ate reasonably (probably 1.5 times what I would have had if I was alone), and it's really hard to stay on target when I'm not completely in control of everything. Spending time with others twice in a short weekend (every other weekend is three days for me) is unusual. I'm going to be 100% on-plan for the next five days (including this one). Let's see how long it takes to get back to where I was this past Friday. I'm adjusting my goal for this week, hoping that I can end up where I started at the end of last challenge.
7/28: 234.8 (-1.0)/20.1 (-0.1). It always feels good to see the scale move in the right direction. I stuck to my plan 100% yesterday, I had lots of water, and I got lots of rest. My back is feeling MUCH better, although it's "tender" in one spot that does not make much sense to me. I used Salonpas on it a couple of times, in that one spot, but I haven't used it for at least four days. It remains very sensitive in that one spot, but not sensitive in a "back pain" sort of way. It feels almost like I had a really bad sunburn, but only in that spot. Nothing is swollen, and the area has no discoloration or redness. Maybe it's time to contact my doctor.
7/29: 233.4 (-1.4)/20.0 (-0.1). Ah, the beginning stages of weight loss! It's so much fun to be able to make up for a "slightly bad" weekend with two days of sticking to my plan. And, as write this, I understand that this is not usually how it works. In my life, it takes 2-3 times the effort to counteract the effects of any one "moment." Remembering this helps keep me on track. It keeps me from grabbing for that last drink, from eating that last bite, and from sometimes engaging in behaviors that are not consistent with my goals. Thank you to everyone who has expressed concern about my back (and about me in general). I'm seeing my chiropractor today, so hopefully I'll have some good news tomorrow. As always, when I'm in this group, I feel loved.
7/30: 233.0 (-0.4)/19.9 (-0.1). I slightly oversnacked last night, but I was overall on-point and sticking to my plan. I also made it to the chiropractor yesterday. I actually had a bit of a lower back spasm while I was on the table, but he was still able to adjust me, so I'm hopeful my back will get back to normal soon. He didn't seem concerned about my "sensitivity" in that area of my lower back. He said that Salonpas is known to cause some skin/soft tissue irritation; plus, it seems to be feeling less sensitive every day. Other good news: I'm having a pool table installed on my covered patio tomorrow morning, and I'm getting a table tennis "top" for it soon, so I should have some reasons to get off my @$$ soon. I miss basketball, and I miss going to the gym, but I really need to get my body moving. Sad news: I went to see my "brother" yesterday (my mother's 15-year-old American Eskimo), probably for the last time. My poor little old man can barely walk, but he's absolutely beautiful (he looks like he's 4 or 5 years old). I said my goodbyes, but I'm quick-to-tears today thinking about him.
