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
07/31 184.6 good first half of the day and completed my workout but was really hungry and a little stressed and made poor choices after dinner

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.
7/31 – 187.0 Had “dinner night” with my husband. It was the first take-out we’d had in 4 weeks. It was delicious – no regrets.

07/26 256.6lbs Just having faith in the plan
07/27 255.8lbs Got the exercise bike out for the first time in 3 years yesterday, felt good to start doing a bit of exercise.
07/28 256.2lbs All good, just sticking to the plan, staying on course.
07/29 255.8lbs Had another session on the exercise bike last night, did 13 minutes which is 2 more than Sunday and managed to get over 7000 steps in at work. All good, counting calories and knowing it will work.
07/30 256lbs So am trailing the Rouvy app on my phone to see if it will make static cycling any more fun...and I’ve got to say it does make you more invested in the actual cycling and I did a lot more work than just sitting there at a constant pace. All in all still keeping to the plan and having faith.
07/31 256lbs It’s just so hot and beautiful, I’m having a lovely day relaxing in the garden today and chilling with the dog. Happy days, onwards and upwards (or should that be downwards🤪)

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!
07/31 116.4 More whoosh of water weight 😊. Finally back to baseline after over a week of high weigh-ins. We did a really good soccer workout this morning. I have my meals all planned for the day. For breakfast I’m having leftover chili I made last night topped with an egg. Then I’ll have fruit, yogurt and granola on the side. Snack will be some more kohlrabi and cucumber sprinkled with chili lime seasoning. Then, for dinner I think I want to make chicken thighs, purple potatoes, and zucchini ribbons with a touch of alfredo sauce for dinner tonight. Happy Friday all!

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.
7/31: 220.2 Back to where I started the round, except now the trendline is catching up to the low number on the scale. The scale flirted with numbers in the 219 range, but settled here. Soon enough...

Goal this round: Report daily
7/29-157-I was doing so good and then my life got so busy I couldn’t see straight. I was painting all of the garage cabinets and doors so we could install them. All of a sudden, I found the exact long arm sewing machine I’ve been looking for, used, and I dropped everything I was doing and my friend and I drove 6 hours and got it and hauled it home, set it up and we’ve had nonstop company. This morning I got my coffee, sat down to report back to you as the first step back to “normal”. I hope you are all doing good. 💚☕️
8/30-DNW-
8/31-157-Finally getting back into a routine. Heading out for a bike ride soon. My sister is coming to visit and I need to get all of our mother’s table coverings out and measure/label and group according to size and I’ll donate what is left after she and I go through them. Our dear mother loved to shop and decorate. This will be a load off of me and out of my house. When DH and I die, I want our kids to be able to sweep the floor and put a for sale sign up.😊

Round 121
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
07/26: 210.2 / A bump up from yesterday, but no surprise. Had my hand in the candy dish and other carbs all day yesterday. And, it was too hot and humid for very much activity outside.
07/27: 210.8 / I guess I will be happy with this for a Monday morning. Way better (4.2# better) than last Monday.
07/28: 209.4 / fingers crossed and mouth shut, I might make it to below 208 this round.
07/29: 206.8 / Ok that was unexpected, obviously. I better wear a neck brace for tomorrow’s jump up.
07/30: 206.6 / Braced for no reason, but not unhappy. 😊
07/31: 205.8 / I am getting close to a range where I could be happy in maintenance. Got here quicker than I expected, so I will need to manage expectations. And, there are some social engagements coming soon. Expectations = Premeditated Resentments. 😊

07/26 DNW, but it’s good to be back at a deficit and so much easier after the break. I’d been struggling a bit before, so I’m hoping the reset helps with adhering to my diet. I didn’t weigh in this morning because I was camping last night. First weigh in will be tomorrow.
07/27 202.6. I’m pretty happy about this since it was what my last and lowest weigh in was before the diet break. I’ve only been back at a deficit for two days.
07/28 200.8. Wow. I expect it will bump up a bit since that's the way the process goes, but I'm really glad that the break I took didn't derail me from losing.
07/29 199.6. Yay! I have not seen this number in five years. At some point it's going to bump back up a bit, but soon enough I won't ever see the 200s again.
07/30 200. Glad I got to see the 190s before the bump up. Probably will see them again this round.

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 [email protected] 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!
7/31: 171.2 Looking forward to gym day and date night with the hubs. He is such a lucky man!
7/26: DNW
7/27: DNW
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!
7/31: 171.4, Moving in the right direction despite my lack of exercise. The headaches are back so I'm guessing the concussion isn't quite healed yet. Grrrrr... No the less, I can do this. Maybe by the end of the round I'll be back to where I was at the beginning of the round. No harm no foul.
I'm alive!!! Summer with kids and work and COVID madness caused me an unintended and unexpected hiatus from this lovely group. I will be in and out this round and possibly next as the kids go back to Kansas for school next weekend ( ) and my Godson is in the hospital with a nasty virus. Hopefully he can kick it soon as he's going in a few weeks for the bloodwork and other necessities to be put on the transplant list. I need all the support I can get to keep it together mentally and not stress eat myself sick.
Day, Weight, Comment 07/31 - 153.4 - Well, first time weighing at all since May... Not too bad, I'll say. I haven't done anything except the occasional yoga, walk, and once a hill run with the middle kid. She's in cross country so she likes to try to kill me on runs haha Absolutely no food tracking done, no attempt at portion control, nothing! I'm actually quite surprised about my weight, especially as I've been super bloated and heavy feeling lately, I figured I'd creeped back up in to the 160s. Apparently this is a stuck weight and I'm glad for it. Now time to move my stuck weight down.

07/28: 134.5 | Birthday was yesterday, so an impromptu visit from my parents was accompanied by an impromptu cherry pie. Along with testing out some other foods/recipes earlier in the day, definitely went over the calorie count. I didn't feel comfortable turning it away, but will probably just throw the leftovers away (sorry mom! It is very good, I promise!). Recommitting myself today.
07/29: 133.2 | Sort of recommitted myself; ate only half a piece of leftover pie. Had some great Mediterranean food from Aladdin's (regional restaurant chain based in Ohio, with some locations in surrounding states). Stayed within the calorie count, so gonna keep up that progress and ensure at least some weight is lost this round...

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.
Friday 07/31 - 145.0 - Big party long weekend here, going to try to be as "good" as possible.

Great job on that new garden, it looks fabulous.
I cover all of mine over the winter so that they are not full of weeds before planting time.
I look forward to seeing what you put in there.

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
07/31 184.6 good first half of the day and completed my workout but was really hungry and a little stressed and made poor choices after dinner

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.
7/31 – 187.0 Had “dinner night” with my husband. It was the first take-out we’d had in 4 weeks. It was delicious – no regrets.

07/26 256.6lbs Just having faith in the plan
07/27 255.8lbs Got the exercise bike out for the first time in 3 years yesterday, felt good to start doing a bit of exercise.
07/28 256.2lbs All good, just sticking to the plan, staying on course.
07/29 255.8lbs Had another session on the exercise bike last night, did 13 minutes which is 2 more than Sunday and managed to get over 7000 steps in at work. All good, counting calories and knowing it will work.
07/30 256lbs So am trailing the Rouvy app on my phone to see if it will make static cycling any more fun...and I’ve got to say it does make you more invested in the actual cycling and I did a lot more work than just sitting there at a constant pace. All in all still keeping to the plan and having faith.
07/31 256lbs It’s just so hot and beautiful, I’m having a lovely day relaxing in the garden today and chilling with the dog. Happy days, onwards and upwards (or should that be downwards🤪)

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!
07/31 116.4 More whoosh of water weight 😊. Finally back to baseline after over a week of high weigh-ins. We did a really good soccer workout this morning. I have my meals all planned for the day. For breakfast I’m having leftover chili I made last night topped with an egg. Then I’ll have fruit, yogurt and granola on the side. Snack will be some more kohlrabi and cucumber sprinkled with chili lime seasoning. Then, for dinner I think I want to make chicken thighs, purple potatoes, and zucchini ribbons with a touch of alfredo sauce for dinner tonight. Happy Friday all!

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.
7/31: 220.2 Back to where I started the round, except now the trendline is catching up to the low number on the scale. The scale flirted with numbers in the 219 range, but settled here. Soon enough...

7/29-157-I was doing so good and then my life got so busy I couldn’t see straight. I was painting all of the garage cabinets and doors so we could install them. All of a sudden, I found the exact long arm sewing machine I’ve been looking for, used, and I dropped everything I was doing and my friend and I drove 6 hours and got it and hauled it home, set it up and we’ve had nonstop company. This morning I got my coffee, sat down to report back to you as the first step back to “normal”. I hope you are all doing good. 💚☕️

8/31-157-Finally getting back into a routine. Heading out for a bike ride soon. My sister is coming to visit and I need to get all of our mother’s table coverings out and measure/label and group according to size and I’ll donate what is left after she and I go through them. Our dear mother loved to shop and decorate. This will be a load off of me and out of my house. When DH and I die, I want our kids to be able to sweep the floor and put a for sale sign up.😊

Month/Day: Weight / Comment
07/26: 210.2 / A bump up from yesterday, but no surprise. Had my hand in the candy dish and other carbs all day yesterday. And, it was too hot and humid for very much activity outside.
07/27: 210.8 / I guess I will be happy with this for a Monday morning. Way better (4.2# better) than last Monday.
07/28: 209.4 / fingers crossed and mouth shut, I might make it to below 208 this round.
07/29: 206.8 / Ok that was unexpected, obviously. I better wear a neck brace for tomorrow’s jump up.
07/30: 206.6 / Braced for no reason, but not unhappy. 😊
07/31: 205.8 / I am getting close to a range where I could be happy in maintenance. Got here quicker than I expected, so I will need to manage expectations. And, there are some social engagements coming soon. Expectations = Premeditated Resentments. 😊

07/26 DNW, but it’s good to be back at a deficit and so much easier after the break. I’d been struggling a bit before, so I’m hoping the reset helps with adhering to my diet. I didn’t weigh in this morning because I was camping last night. First weigh in will be tomorrow.
07/27 202.6. I’m pretty happy about this since it was what my last and lowest weigh in was before the diet break. I’ve only been back at a deficit for two days.
07/28 200.8. Wow. I expect it will bump up a bit since that's the way the process goes, but I'm really glad that the break I took didn't derail me from losing.
07/29 199.6. Yay! I have not seen this number in five years. At some point it's going to bump back up a bit, but soon enough I won't ever see the 200s again.
07/30 200. Glad I got to see the 190s before the bump up. Probably will see them again this round.

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 [email protected] 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!
7/31: 171.2 Looking forward to gym day and date night with the hubs. He is such a lucky man!

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!
7/31: 171.4, Moving in the right direction despite my lack of exercise. The headaches are back so I'm guessing the concussion isn't quite healed yet. Grrrrr... No the less, I can do this. Maybe by the end of the round I'll be back to where I was at the beginning of the round. No harm no foul.

07/31 - 153.4 - Well, first time weighing at all since May... Not too bad, I'll say. I haven't done anything except the occasional yoga, walk, and once a hill run with the middle kid. She's in cross country so she likes to try to kill me on runs haha Absolutely no food tracking done, no attempt at portion control, nothing! I'm actually quite surprised about my weight, especially as I've been super bloated and heavy feeling lately, I figured I'd creeped back up in to the 160s. Apparently this is a stuck weight and I'm glad for it. Now time to move my stuck weight down.

07/28: 134.5 | Birthday was yesterday, so an impromptu visit from my parents was accompanied by an impromptu cherry pie. Along with testing out some other foods/recipes earlier in the day, definitely went over the calorie count. I didn't feel comfortable turning it away, but will probably just throw the leftovers away (sorry mom! It is very good, I promise!). Recommitting myself today.
07/29: 133.2 | Sort of recommitted myself; ate only half a piece of leftover pie. Had some great Mediterranean food from Aladdin's (regional restaurant chain based in Ohio, with some locations in surrounding states). Stayed within the calorie count, so gonna keep up that progress and ensure at least some weight is lost this round...

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.
Friday 07/31 - 145.0 - Big party long weekend here, going to try to be as "good" as possible.

Great job on that new garden, it looks fabulous.
I cover all of mine over the winter so that they are not full of weeds before planting time.
I look forward to seeing what you put in there.
