07/27- 183- played soccer for the first time yesterday in 10 months and it felt good.
07/28- 184.4 - I had a huge dinner last night and my wine from Sunday night might be catching up. I’m afraid I didn’t do better today.. I had dental work done and was just in the I don’t care mood. Jumping back on it tomorrow, I’ve come too far to give up now!

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
Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 120 🔹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.

26/07: 151.4: Goals 😬 The inevitable result of yesterday's pass day has wiped out my Round 120 loss.
27/07: 151.1: Goals 🌟Holding reasonable steady.

29/07: 150.6: Goals 🌟Nice drop, and it's holding.

02/08: 149.7: Goals 🌟
03/08: 151.2: Goals🌟
💁🏼Today amply illustrates the futility of allowing the number on the scale to dictate how you feel about yourself. Weight can, and does fluctuates so much from day to day, for a variety of reasons.
04/08: 150.6: Goals 🌟A shout out to @quiltingjaine Thanks for noticing my months were wrong in this Round. I have adjusted them in this post.

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.

Joining late - but daily weigh-ins keep me accountable. I've been off track for a while, and I was at my highest non-pregnancy weight ever. So I started on Keto and am doing some moderate IF with a 9/15 schedule. Expecting to drop some water weight this week and then even out.

08/04 - Act: 153.0 Trend: 153.5 - Not sure how, but this is what popped up and made it really close to goal. This partial round was really to see where I'm hovering, and less to lose despite setting a goal (which really was wishful thinking of dropping water weight since I've been horribly dehydrated). I'll take that as a win. Not sure if its a mental thing or what. I was so used to being brutally honest posting here that I built a habit of being cognizant of my habits. I'd have to admit to this community my shortcomings (which are plenty but some... well...) and it was easier for me to walk away rather than admit I was being an uncontrollable glutton. Not consciously doing that, but maybe, just maybe, being back to posting is causing it to happen subconsciously. Hmmm...
Previous Day's Comments07/31 - 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.
08/01 - DNP
08/02 - Not surprised, had a big day out yesterday goofing off and trying to enjoy time with the kids during their last full weekend together. I'm not as bloated as normal, but I am a bit dehydrated so I'm assuming that's the uptick. Going to focus on water today as much as I can. Update on my Godson -- he's out of the hospital and seems almost normal. Obviously a little slow and groggy from 5 days in the hospital getting poked and prodded (he's 2 so easy to irritate with that) but his attitude is definitely come back to shine. His appointment concerning transplant has been postponed as the family wants both parents there during the process (and to calm the little man -- they learned during this trip if only 1 parent is there at a time, he is uncontrollable but once they got approval for both to stay, he was much better and his health turned around for the better almost immediately) and to make decisions as a team regarding their son's future. Hopefully things will calm down on the COVID front as they can't postpone too much longer but I also understand the concerns of having only 1 parent at a time.
08/03 - We did a Linner yesterday and it was the only meal I had (hello unplanned IF day). Ended up hungry right before bed and was scared to get nauseous so I had a quick pizza pocket snack. Glad I ended up down despite that. Hoping the girl gets up to go for a run with Fam so I can maybe join in for at least a walk. I don't feel super bloated, but my belly is sticking straight out instead of a sag so I know there's some bloat there. Had water but not enough yesterday so pushing water as I type to get a headstart on my day and hoping it'll alleviate some of that bloat look. Since my late night snack last night, I'm pushing breakfast out and trying to fast a bit longer despite being peckish right now (been eating a small half breakfast around this time and then eating another small half breakfast when BF gets up and moving to make something (or I realize he's not and I start to feel pretty hungry again). I need to get back into IF but I've been waking up super hungry since spring. Not sure if its the heat, the change in pace of meals in TX (mainly routine change), or if I somehow trained my body to be hungry first thing in the morning somehow (which NEVER was the case before in my life). Guess I have some learning to do with my body again
We all have times when we are uncontrollable gluttons and I agree it is hard to admit, but stick with it, the group is a great support and we all understand, none of us think any ill of either you or anyone else. We're all in this together !!!4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
07/25 …..210.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/26 …..210.0 ….. Good luck everyone this round!
07/27 …..210.2 ….. fluctuation.
07/28 …..209.8 ….. One of the many things I’m going thru right now is the health of my very last pet, my cat Reeces. She is just over 20 years old . Diagnosed about 8 months ago with kidney issues (mild liver issues too). Her health began deteriorating severely and rapidly over the weekend. Her weight dropped quickly and I’ve been having to dropper feed her water, flavorless pedialyte and lactose free milk. No vet open on the weekends in this rural area. She began to do a little better on the eating front and is eating bits of cat food too, but her weight is down to 4 pounds (usually about 5.5 in her older age). I know that suffering does not always equal pain. For sure, sometimes suffering does not ever involve actual pain at all. So I will travel today to her far-away doctor who has cared for her the entire 20 years and, of course, I will discuss appetite increasing pills, antibiotics etc but I think I already know what he is going to say, so I am trying to prepare myself. I am a total mess right now. In the past 20 years I have had my children grow up and leave. I’ve gotten divorced and been a single mother. I’ve remarried for 15 years and then became a widow. I have had and loved many many dogs and cats (loving pets) in those 20 years. I’ve lost parents, friends, my sister. But Reeces has always been here with me, through it all. My mainstay. Sorry this is so gloomy, friends. I am just beside myself. Please pray for whatever is right for her today. She deserves the very best treatment or send-off, whichever is necessary and humane at this time.
07/29 …..208.1 ….. I always drop weight during sad times.
07/30 …..209.2 ….. I managed to eat a little better but it was a little later for food than I like. I hope the scale tomorrow will be better. My house seems so empty now, I am going to try hard not to fill the void in space and time with food. Thanks again everyone for you comforting words.
07/31 …..209.4 ….. Still in a correction perhaps?
08/01 …..209.4 …..
08/02 …..209.9 ….. Chocolate.
08/03 …..209.8 ….. Need a bathroom TMI. I am going to drink some cleansing tea and I hope it helps! Tummy ache and bloating.
08/04 …..209.8 …..

07/26 269.0 I have been all over the place lately, gaining and losing the same 2 or 3 lbs over and over. I thought the wt would really come off this summer, so far that has not been the case, but we still have several weeks of summer weather left. Currently doing a home remodel has really thrown me off track and added more stress related emotion eating. Ya I know no excuses. Time to get it together.

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.
7/31: 232.4 (-0.6)/19.9 (-0.1). My pool table is being installed as we speak, which I'm excited about. Sticking to my diet is working out to be pretty easy at the moment, but exercise has been much harder to "work back in." I did not talk with my mother yesterday about her dog, so I think I'll check in with her today. I'm a little bit scared that I'm going to get some bad news, but I know it's the right thing to do. I'm trying to get better at dealing with death and grief.
8/1: 230.8 (-1.6)/19.7 (-0.2). Two weeks in, 10.2 lbs down (wife is down 3.0, but has much less to lose than I do). This weekend is a three-day weekend for me (I get every other Monday off); my niece's birthday party is Sunday, and my in-laws are coming over Monday (all events outdoors, with masks, and socially-distanced). This means increased temptation(s) and lack of complete control regarding my food intake. I'm going to try to change the narrative of what a "weekend" means for me (I love "The Weeknd" by the way). I will have a drink or two tomorrow, but that's it; and my brother is pretty good at generally encouraging portion control, even without me asking. On Monday I will not drink at all, and I think I can get away with eating my own food (my wife can get/make something for the in-laws if she wants to). I'll have a little bit (very small portion) of dessert at the birthday party, but likely none with the in-laws. I still haven't uncovered or played with my pool table, but that is definitely going to happen today. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
8/2: 230.6 (-0.2)/19.7 (0.0). I had three glasses of wine last night (maybe 3.5) while my wife and I broke in our pool table, but I also skipped a snack I would have normally had. I'll count that as breaking even (or close to it). I am still undefeated on my new pool table; my wife "had" me one game (had a shot at the eight ball, but knocked it and the cue ball in for a game-ending scratch), but I pretty much kicked her butt the rest of the night. It's my niece's birthday party tonight, and my brother apparently ordering take-out sushi for everyone. Yes, my 8-year-old niece loves sushi. The great news is they're ordering from a place has pretty clear nutritional information, so I know what I'll be eating tonight (which drastically improves my ability to "plan for it"). I'm feeling a little different today, in a good way; I think my face is just starting to thin out. My next NSV would be to be able to comfortably button my shorts. I can currently get them closed, but I am far from comfortable doing so. I also think I'm ready to get back on the exercise wagon. I'll start by dusting off the rowing machine to see if I go for 5-10 minutes. I'll shoot for every other day for the next couple of days, and see how that feels. On my "off" days I'll try to do some resistance exercises. I really wish my gym was open. It's so much easier for me to get a comprehensive workout there.
8/3: 231.4 (+0.8)/19.8 (+0.1). I went a little heavy with Sushi last night, I had two beers, and I shared a giant piece of cake with my wife (which I chose NOT to finish). It's still the weekend, though, so it's always going to be tough. I'm going to fast until lunch today. My in-laws are coming over, and bringing lunch or dinner with them. I am going to do my best to REALLY control things. So far I'm up less than one pound for the weekend, which is not bad, especially considering that I had a night of drinking Saturday and a party yesterday.
8/4: 233.4 (+2.0)/20.0 (+0.2). I'm posting late today because I had to go into the office today (I work from home most days). My in-laws were over yesterday, and they brought homemade birria tacos. Let's call it a splurge day. I had three tacos, some homemade Mexican rice, one beer, and a small slice of coconut cream pie. I tried to save some room for what I knew would be trouble, but I probably over-ate slightly. That being said, I also weighed myself today MUCH earlier than usual. This might be closer to reality than my weekend weigh-ins.
