08/05 - 145.8 - I think that this is my 28th round, so it will be 280 days. 12 pounds lost in 27 rounds. Mostly a downward trend with around 5 rounds where it went up. Loving the accountability and the posts here.
08/06 - 145.8 - Extra workouts yesterday, but extra food and cocktails too. Glad to not have gained.
08/07 - 147.1 - Not sure why my weight jumped, taking it in stride and hoping to see it go back down tomorrow.
08/08 - 145.8 - Yesterday's weird fluctuation gone. I plan to work out more over the weekend and prep healthy food for the week to come.
08/09 - 146.4 - Had a few cocktails which always derails my weight loss. Back on the horse.

Day/Weight/Comment

08/05 - 322.4 - I always put some back on after an *eat* day. Usually much more than this. Hopefully, this is a good sign for a good loss this round. Instead of driving to a couple of local shops, I walked this morning. Wearing minimalist shoes has shortened my stride and I'm not having any knee trouble now, which is another really good thing.
08/06 - 319.7 - Surprised and fairly happy. But also concerned because I mayb be dropping a little too fast. I may have to institute my *slow down the weight loss* plan if I keep going too fast.
08/07 - 319.7 - OK. I NEVER stay the same after a day of eating. I ALWAYS go up 2-4 lbs. As much as I like staying under 320, I'll be keeping a very close eye on how much I drop in the next 18 hours. Two side notes to today: 1) I FINALLY got a job. After taking a year off after leaving my past position, I've had a helluva hard time finding work... especially because of Covid19. And 2) I am an emotional eater. And I was on a huge high after getting word about the job. Which normally means FOOD! And I was able to keep myself from indulging my mood by eating.
08/08 - 316.6 - Monstrous drop. Hormones? Less cortisol from the good news, yesterday? I'm dropping fast, again. I made the decision to change from a 4:3 alt. day intermittent fast plan to a 5:2 plan. I was fasting Mon., Wed., and Fridays. I started my journedy in mid-November 2019 and, if I get under 300 before Nov. 2020, made the decision to slow down my losses. I want to try and stick to a 2 lb./week loss, so getting udner 300 before November would be exceeding that rate. Honestly, it's exciting to FINALLY find a way to drop weight safely and quickly, but my male ego won't permit too much skin sag, so I want to slow it down. Now, one of the byproducts of AD IF is the eating of fat, dead or damaged cell, excess skin, etc. So, there may be times where I'll add in a 3 or 4 day waterfast each quarter, or so. I want to be one of those older people that can prove that a steady weight drop w/ IF can help mitigate excess skin sag.
08/09 - 319.6 - I expected the uptick. Still under 320, though!

8/5: 233.4 (0.0)/20.0 (0.0). I had some leftovers for dinner from the in-laws' visit on Monday; while delicious, it is NOT healthy food, nor does it fit within my current plan. I informed the wife I would not be partaking in any more leftovers this week. I feel right now like I extended my weekend unnecessarily, and I'm a little bit pi$$ed about it. I'm going to take that energy and get myself back on track. I felt an urge not to post yesterday (final day of previous round), because I was disappointed in myself (mostly my scale reading, I guess). I'm sticking with this, though. And sticking with it means weighing in and posting every day that it's feasible.

8/6: 230.8 (-2.6)/19.7 (-0.3). Apparently "mad" is still working alright for me. I was completely back on-plan yesterday; this weigh-in seems a little extreme, but I also think I got 9 hours of sleep last night (which I needed, I think). I'm going to continue to kick butt this week with my nutrition, and I'm already starting to plan what's happening for the weekend. My wife wants to play pool on Friday, which is fine... but she also wants to drink. "If" I drink, it will be only one, but I'm leaning toward no alcohol this weekend. We are also planning on going on a hike with some of her family on Saturday. Exercise. It's been a while. Overall, I'm feeling pretty good today. I'll take it.

8/7: 230.8 (0.0)/19.7 (0.0). I suppose I should be happy being at this weight two days in a row, so I will be! I had an extra protein shake last night when I got hungry; it may have put me "over" in calories, but it was a MUCH better choice than I make when I am not actively taking care of myself. I take that a sign that I am actively taking care of myself. I'm in the office today (I would normally be at home), and I'm going to try to be productive. I'm not sure about the hike on Saturday, but I will get in some "lifting" (not the same as the gym... I wish it were) and cardio (both) at some point over the weekend. I really need to get exercise back into my life. I'm going to play some pool tonight with my wife outside; she wants to drink old-fashioneds (I learned how to make them last week), and I will limit myself to no more than two! There should be no other drinking over the weekend.

8/8: 229.4 (-1.4)/19.5 (-0.2). These numbers may be artificially lower (at least slightly) than they should be, but not by much (weighed in about an hour and a half later than usual). It doesn't really matter, though. I know I'm doing what I need to do. I still haven't worked out, but my goal was to lift once this weekend, and do some cardio once. I'm about to head outside to lift some weights. I'm interested to see how my body is going to feel after; it's been a long time. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend may be coming over tonight. If that happens, I will plan things out as best I can, to minimize any possible damage. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

8/9: 230.2 (+0.8)/19.6 (+0.1). We ended up going to my in-laws' last night for carne asada, and I was pretty good with my food. My brother-in-law made some strange watermelon/chamoy margaritas that were FANTASTIC. I indulged. The brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over tonight. We are going to order in some HEALTHY FOOD that fits within my plan, because I want to continue to minimize the effect(s) that the weekend is going to have on me. I did not get a chance to work out yesterday, and it's not going to happen today, either. At least I'm THINKING about it (an important first step!). I'm still very much on-track to meet my goal for the round. If I can keep it within reason today, I should be golden.

I'm really needing some accountability. Lost more than 25lbs, and fast-forward through a couple of car accidents, and quitting exercising, I find that I'm more than uncomfortable in my clothes! (And gained 25 back) I know I'm joining mid-way, so hopefully, will be in fully, next round. I need some butt-kicking...

Round 122 SW: 8/9 139lbs Goal: 115

musicsax · August 2020

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 122 (round 54 for me ) I'm in for another round (of course!) – I need to just keep going! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled 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 for this round – I really need to take myself in hand and get a move on, these extra pounds are settling on me too easily and I don't like it; but I've only got myself to blame. So I need to try to lose 1.5 pounds ! Our bathroom is being refurbished now for the next 3 weeks; miles will be more difficult to achieve whilst the workmen are here, but I'll try to get an hour or so in before they arrive and then some in the evening around commitments with MIL care. I know I've said it before , but I need 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!

I couldn't find wallpaper scraping in the exercise activity, but I sweated buckets each of those 3 days & I've lost weight, but yesterday was 255 calories, 52g carbs & 5g fat over on macros !! Friday night is the start of our weekend, but I didn't go mad & logged every mouthful.

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

08/05 114.8 Sweet 😊. I went for a really nice but sleep deprived walk this morning around 6 to destress, after waking up at 1:30 this morning to find out my mother in law was heading to the ER (heard abnormal footsteps upstairs and checked on in laws to make sure everything was okay.). She’s stable but weak. Hoping they can get some TPN going to get some nutrition in her.
On the bright side, it is was a nice afternoon yesterday and I realized how much I’m used the sweetness of fruit versus candy. After having my soft serve ice cream with Reese’s peanut butter cups and cookie dough mixed in, I was only able to get through about 2/3 of the cup before it became sickeningly sweet. I feel like I could live without ice cream for a while after having that yesterday.
Baking some chicken legs drizzled with a basil chimichurri tonight for dinner with some CSA veggies on the side. Looking forward to it!
Have a good day everyone!

08/06 115.0 Had a much better night sleep last night. Went for another great walk this moring and snuck a couple miles of running mixed in. The running made me realize how much my body detests me running on pavement though. I think I’ll stick to the grass for running.
Last night’s roasted chicken legs came out yummy! The side salad of zucchini ribbons with tomatoes on top was pretty tasty mixed with the basil chimichurri sauce. My husband doesn’t really like summer squashes but when I make them into ribbons, they are tolerable for him. So that worked out well.
For dinner tonight I think I’ll be making a burger of some sort 😊. Looking forward to it with roasted or grilled eggplant as a side!
Creeping into another phase of my cycle, so I have a feeling my weight will just be stable or blip up over the next 5ish days. I highly recommend people track their weight with their cycle, it’s been fascinating for me to be able to compare from each month when I blip up and then coast back down. I’m realizing so much more now about how my body reacts to the phases and even certain foods I eat during each phase (sodium mostly).

08/07 114.6 Sleepy this morning and feeling a bit fatigued from my approaching next phase. We did a slower modified soccer workout this morning because we were both feeling the events of the week as well.
Plan on eating at maintenance today because I feel like I just need the extra calories at the moment.
Dinner was good last night. I made burgers on the grill with our csa ground beef which is super lean. I had a bunless one because we only had one roll left and I offered it to my husband. We each had a slice of pepperjack cheese on the burgers. He had fries on the side. I grilled eggplant (he doesn’t care for eggplant) for me and had a small portion of fries. It was a solid dinner because I made the burgers about 8oz.
For dinner tonight I want to make a peanut sauce and mix it with ground white turkey meat and put it on top of brown rice and shredded zucchini. Then I’ll make a cucumber salad with rice wine vinegar and a touch of the peanut sauce mixed in with it.
I know this is a long-winded post, but I’m also excited that the clothes shopping I bought online arrived, and they all fit/look nice! I also dropped a dress size in my jeans! Have a good day! 😊
08/08 115.6 Did not post today.
08/09 118.2 Oh hey salt, hormones, and water weight. Had salty chicken pot pie for lunch yesterday and then had a spur of the moment French fries and chicken fingers for dinner. Today, I feel the puff in my face and have the desire to drink lots of water and just eat fruit, veggies, and protein today. I have some CSA veggies to eat before tomorrow, so it’ll work out perfectly.

Yesterday was fun because we started our day with a nice walk through the woods, then I made a new batch of granola and granola bars for us when we go hiking/camping Tuesday to Thursday this week. The granola bars are a concoction of peanut butter, chocolate chips, honey, inulin, plain egg white protein powder, vanilla extract, rolled oats, puffed millet, puffed buckwheat, and a touch of salt. I didn’t follow a recipe and just went for it. They didn’t set up as much as I hoped, so I think I’m going to cook them further today at a low temp to see if that helps. If it doesn’t, they’ll just be a touch gooey but delicious.

Today I think we are going to explore a couple of trails my husband was reading about last night. Then, I’ll be packing for our adventure and going through some of my baggier clothes to donate. Plus, it’ll give me the incentive to not gain the weight back if I don’t have those clothes anymore.

Try freezing the bars! I make chickpea blondies which are very gooey, but after freezing they are just the right consistency !!!

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.
August focus: 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 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

08/05 - 145 - So, either my scale was off yesterday, it's off today, or I drank enough water yesterday to shed 2 lbs. Tomorrow will tell the tale.
08/06 - 145.5 - Yesterday's weight must have been a little of all three. I'll take it.
08/07 - 146 - I was really hoping the scale was going to go the other way this morning. Oh well, I'll just keep plugging along.

I've been off track for a while, and I was at my highest non-pregnancy weight ever. So I started on Keto on July 28th and am doing some moderate IF with a 9/15 schedule (10 am to 7 pm). Expecting to drop some water weight this week and then even out.

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

08/05 114.8 Sweet 😊. I went for a really nice but sleep deprived walk this morning around 6 to destress, after waking up at 1:30 this morning to find out my mother in law was heading to the ER (heard abnormal footsteps upstairs and checked on in laws to make sure everything was okay.). She’s stable but weak. Hoping they can get some TPN going to get some nutrition in her.
On the bright side, it is was a nice afternoon yesterday and I realized how much I’m used the sweetness of fruit versus candy. After having my soft serve ice cream with Reese’s peanut butter cups and cookie dough mixed in, I was only able to get through about 2/3 of the cup before it became sickeningly sweet. I feel like I could live without ice cream for a while after having that yesterday.
Baking some chicken legs drizzled with a basil chimichurri tonight for dinner with some CSA veggies on the side. Looking forward to it!
Have a good day everyone!

08/06 115.0 Had a much better night sleep last night. Went for another great walk this moring and snuck a couple miles of running mixed in. The running made me realize how much my body detests me running on pavement though. I think I’ll stick to the grass for running.
Last night’s roasted chicken legs came out yummy! The side salad of zucchini ribbons with tomatoes on top was pretty tasty mixed with the basil chimichurri sauce. My husband doesn’t really like summer squashes but when I make them into ribbons, they are tolerable for him. So that worked out well.
For dinner tonight I think I’ll be making a burger of some sort 😊. Looking forward to it with roasted or grilled eggplant as a side!
Creeping into another phase of my cycle, so I have a feeling my weight will just be stable or blip up over the next 5ish days. I highly recommend people track their weight with their cycle, it’s been fascinating for me to be able to compare from each month when I blip up and then coast back down. I’m realizing so much more now about how my body reacts to the phases and even certain foods I eat during each phase (sodium mostly).

08/07 114.6 Sleepy this morning and feeling a bit fatigued from my approaching next phase. We did a slower modified soccer workout this morning because we were both feeling the events of the week as well.
Plan on eating at maintenance today because I feel like I just need the extra calories at the moment.
Dinner was good last night. I made burgers on the grill with our csa ground beef which is super lean. I had a bunless one because we only had one roll left and I offered it to my husband. We each had a slice of pepperjack cheese on the burgers. He had fries on the side. I grilled eggplant (he doesn’t care for eggplant) for me and had a small portion of fries. It was a solid dinner because I made the burgers about 8oz.
For dinner tonight I want to make a peanut sauce and mix it with ground white turkey meat and put it on top of brown rice and shredded zucchini. Then I’ll make a cucumber salad with rice wine vinegar and a touch of the peanut sauce mixed in with it.
I know this is a long-winded post, but I’m also excited that the clothes shopping I bought online arrived, and they all fit/look nice! I also dropped a dress size in my jeans! Have a good day! 😊
08/08 115.6 Did not post today.
08/09 118.2 Oh hey salt, hormones, and water weight. Had salty chicken pot pie for lunch yesterday and then had a spur of the moment French fries and chicken fingers for dinner. Today, I feel the puff in my face and have the desire to drink lots of water and just eat fruit, veggies, and protein today. I have some CSA veggies to eat before tomorrow, so it’ll work out perfectly.

Yesterday was fun because we started our day with a nice walk through the woods, then I made a new batch of granola and granola bars for us when we go hiking/camping Tuesday to Thursday this week. The granola bars are a concoction of peanut butter, chocolate chips, honey, inulin, plain egg white protein powder, vanilla extract, rolled oats, puffed millet, puffed buckwheat, and a touch of salt. I didn’t follow a recipe and just went for it. They didn’t set up as much as I hoped, so I think I’m going to cook them further today at a low temp to see if that helps. If it doesn’t, they’ll just be a touch gooey but delicious.

Today I think we are going to explore a couple of trails my husband was reading about last night. Then, I’ll be packing for our adventure and going through some of my baggier clothes to donate. Plus, it’ll give me the incentive to not gain the weight back if I don’t have those clothes anymore.

Try freezing the bars! I make chickpea blondies which are very gooey, but after freezing they are just the right consistency !!!

I definitely would have taken your advice if I knew I wasn’t going to take them overnight camping. I ended up popping them in the oven for about 15ish minutes and it allowed them to set up better. I think the heat caused the egg white protein powder to get a touch cakey, so now it’s not gooey anymore

playhardkf2017 · August 2020

@musicsax Also, chickpea blondies sound wonderful! I love blondies! ( I tried to edit my first post response to you but the mobile app wouldn’t let me) I hope things are still looking up for you grandson too!

08/05: 158.2No fun to see one more pound than expected. But it is what it is. Will not lament. Goals are no alcohol during the week, increase water, log everything and increase exercises (back pain minding)!Good logging everyone!!!

08/06: 157. 4 Happy to see a drop! I know all about water drops, which could be this, but it motivates, so I'll take it!

08/07: 157.2 Tougher day… I kept within calorie goal, but man was I hungry! Sore from increasing my walks the day before, lots of back pain so I didn’t get my steps but did my yoga.

08/08: 156.2 Enjoyed two great yoga workouts yesterday. Kept under max calories (incl workout calories). Happy to see numbers down.

08/09: Skipped weighing in… Sundays, I need to have a day in which I don’t have an emotional response to whatever the scale shows… And I know this is something I need to work on, but it’s my break day. But I did do my yoga workout.

08/10: 156.4 It has been very HOT in The Netherlands (35 celsius) with no air conditioning, so I’m retaining water!! So there was a small .2 gain… that’s OK! I haven’t done my yoga yet, but I will… maybe a bike rid as well… we’ll see.

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!

08/05 114.8 Sweet 😊. I went for a really nice but sleep deprived walk this morning around 6 to destress, after waking up at 1:30 this morning to find out my mother in law was heading to the ER (heard abnormal footsteps upstairs and checked on in laws to make sure everything was okay.). She’s stable but weak. Hoping they can get some TPN going to get some nutrition in her.
On the bright side, it is was a nice afternoon yesterday and I realized how much I’m used the sweetness of fruit versus candy. After having my soft serve ice cream with Reese’s peanut butter cups and cookie dough mixed in, I was only able to get through about 2/3 of the cup before it became sickeningly sweet. I feel like I could live without ice cream for a while after having that yesterday.
Baking some chicken legs drizzled with a basil chimichurri tonight for dinner with some CSA veggies on the side. Looking forward to it!
Have a good day everyone!

08/06 115.0 Had a much better night sleep last night. Went for another great walk this moring and snuck a couple miles of running mixed in. The running made me realize how much my body detests me running on pavement though. I think I’ll stick to the grass for running.
Last night’s roasted chicken legs came out yummy! The side salad of zucchini ribbons with tomatoes on top was pretty tasty mixed with the basil chimichurri sauce. My husband doesn’t really like summer squashes but when I make them into ribbons, they are tolerable for him. So that worked out well.
For dinner tonight I think I’ll be making a burger of some sort 😊. Looking forward to it with roasted or grilled eggplant as a side!
Creeping into another phase of my cycle, so I have a feeling my weight will just be stable or blip up over the next 5ish days. I highly recommend people track their weight with their cycle, it’s been fascinating for me to be able to compare from each month when I blip up and then coast back down. I’m realizing so much more now about how my body reacts to the phases and even certain foods I eat during each phase (sodium mostly).

08/07 114.6 Sleepy this morning and feeling a bit fatigued from my approaching next phase. We did a slower modified soccer workout this morning because we were both feeling the events of the week as well.
Plan on eating at maintenance today because I feel like I just need the extra calories at the moment.
Dinner was good last night. I made burgers on the grill with our csa ground beef which is super lean. I had a bunless one because we only had one roll left and I offered it to my husband. We each had a slice of pepperjack cheese on the burgers. He had fries on the side. I grilled eggplant (he doesn’t care for eggplant) for me and had a small portion of fries. It was a solid dinner because I made the burgers about 8oz.
For dinner tonight I want to make a peanut sauce and mix it with ground white turkey meat and put it on top of brown rice and shredded zucchini. Then I’ll make a cucumber salad with rice wine vinegar and a touch of the peanut sauce mixed in with it.
I know this is a long-winded post, but I’m also excited that the clothes shopping I bought online arrived, and they all fit/look nice! I also dropped a dress size in my jeans! Have a good day! 😊
08/08 115.6 Did not post today.
08/09 118.2 Oh hey salt, hormones, and water weight. Had salty chicken pot pie for lunch yesterday and then had spur of the moment French fries and chicken fingers for dinner. Today, I feel the puff in my face and have the desire to drink lots of water and just eat fruit, veggies, and protein today. I have some CSA veggies to eat before tomorrow, so it’ll work out perfectly.
Yesterday was fun because we started our day with a nice walk through the woods, then I made a new batch of granola and granola bars for us when we go hiking/camping Tuesday to Thursday this week. The granola bars are a concoction of peanut butter, chocolate chips, honey, inulin, plain egg white protein powder, vanilla extract, rolled oats, puffed millet, puffed buckwheat, and a touch of salt. I didn’t follow a recipe and just went for it. They didn’t set up as much as I hoped, so I think I’m going to cook them further today at a low temp to see if that helps. If it doesn’t, they’ll just be a touch gooey but delicious.

Today I’ll be packing for our adventure and I also want to go through some clothes and donate the stuff that is too big for me now. Plus, it’ll give me the incentive to not gain the weight back if I don’t have those clothes anymore.

08/10 116.8 What goes up must come down, right? We had a lovely weekend full of short walks and packing for our two-night hiking trip. Then we'll be staying at the family condo for a couple of nights after as well. I’m so excited because we haven’t been camping in over a year, so it’ll be fun to sleep in a tent, wake up super early for a hike, chill at camp, and eat the freeze-dried food that tastes so good after a day of hiking!

This past weekend was a bit of a diet break, where I kind of tracked but not really, and wasn’t crazy concerned about calories. Yesterday, I had a mishmash of healthy and not so healthy. I ate blueberry pie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for breakfast, cantaloupe and yogurt for a snack with some of the granola bars I made, a massive cucumber/tomato salad with feta for lunch, lots of roasted & grilled veggies (beets, wax beans, summer squash, and eggplant) with Rib Eye steak for dinner, and dessert was grilled peaches drizzled with maple syrup. We’ll be heading home on the 15th, so I’ll catch you all in the next round! (Unless I pop in to comment but not post my own saga)
