Does it indicate that there is going to be a bad winter? The squirrels have extra stores to layby? You know how these old wife's tales start !!!
No, I don't think so. This tree does seem to be on a bi-yearly schedule. Or every 3 years. Thank goodness. The last time I picked up close to 30 gallons of acorns.3 -

08/05 202. I am 1.4 pounds down from yesterday which is good. I guess that means that I was still retaining water. I'm still 2.4 pounds heavier than my lowest weight last round, so I'm hoping to be at or below that at some point this round. I'm interested to see what happens.
08/06 201.6
08/07 200.2 Well, I think the mystery of why I gained weight near the end of last round and why I'm losing it quickly now has become apparent. I had a hysterectomy a couple of years ago, and so have a harder time tracking my hormonal changes throughout the month. When my weight shot up last week, the next day I noticed two pimples on my chin. I'm 52 so I'm thinking the cause of the gain and the pimples was hormonal. Because I don't "deserve" the losses like these ones this week just like I didn't "deserve" the gains last week. Several times in the past I might have given up. I'm glad I haven't. I need to remember this for the future. I have gained and lost the same 30 or so pounds four times in the last six years. I get down to the 190s and then get discouraged and fall off the wagon. Can't let that happen this time.
08/08 199.8. It's great to be below 200 again.:)Now to try to hang on to it.
08/09 199.2. A new low.

08/14 200.2. I'm a bit sick the last couple of days and I stress ate ice cream yesterday. We're in self-isolation until after our Covid test results come back. I'm almost 100% sure it's not Covid. We have only 5 active cases where I live and they all are from outside the country and self-isolated as soon as they got here. But I can't go out for walks or bike rides and honestly feel too icky to exercise anyway. Just going to focus on feeling better and will probably join you all part way through the next round.
Take care and see you then. 8 -

In the last round I got down to 168.4, then we went camping for a few days. I ate pretty good, but since we were celebrating our first anniversary we did indulge in some chocolate, cake and wine. I wasn't tracking on here either because we didn't have service so I did the best I could. Amazing how fast my body gains weight! I'm already down to low 170's and getting back into the 160's!💪

08/11: 170.6- funny how I keep going back to this weight this past week. Overall I've been tracking and exercising. My body seems to be in a plateau. Just doesn't want to budge. On the plus side I'm feeling more fit. I know that I'm in a better spot than I was before. Need to keep focusing on the positives!

08/05 - 170.6 An optimistic start
08/06 - 171.1 These ounces be playing with me!
08/07 - 172.2 What!? Really? I can only imagine what this would be if I wasn't logging and exercising. When ounces turn to pounds, it's time to double down. (so clever, right?):*
08/08 - 170.6 Back to the start; weird numbers this round. Plenty of days left to goal.
08/09 - 169.6 ...and now to keep the number thru the end if the round. That is the hard part. (I smell bacon)
08/10 - 170.5 Bacon...and ham are the devil.>:)
08/11 - 170.4 No time for exercise and necessary to eat past the IF window--family members out patient surgery went long--but turned out well. YAY! Medical providers areo:)o:)
08/12 - 171.5 In the words of@_JeffreyD_: I was naughty
08/13 - 170.5 Getting back on the IF today and off of the cheetos. 6 oz to goal doesn't seem unattainable based on the dips 'n flips of the scale this round.
08/14 -171 Tough round. Next one will be as easy as 1-2-3

ROUND 122
I’m a 5’ 8”, 45 yo Mom of 2 young ones. The lockdown had me squeaking toward 200, so I knew I had to start taking better care of myself!
Original SW: 196.2 lb (6/11/20)
GOAL Weight: 165 lb
Total weight loss to date: 12.7 lb
R121: -3.1 lb✔️
Round 122 SW: 183.5 (on 8/04/20)
8/05 – 183.9– This is not surprising as I just experienced a huge plunge in my weight, so I expect I am rebalancing now. Stationary bike and crunches today!
8/06 – 183.7 – Great weigh-in day for this week! More cardio on the schedule today
8/07 – 184.0 – Well, TOM arrived yesterday, along with its bloating and cramping, so I skipped cardio. It’s back on the schedule today
8/08 – 183.5 – Cardio has definitely helped, and some of my water retention has released – excellent!
8/09 – 183.0 - Last day of our Staycation today, then it’s back to work and home schooling tomorrow.
8/10 – 183.2 – Normal, little micro-fluctuation. It’s Monday and I’m sooooo tired. I need to avoid “tired snacking”
8/11 – 182.7 – Up, down, up, down – my own little roller coaster…
8/12 – 183.6 – Ouch, that was a bump. I had a dizzy, shaky episode after cardio yesterday, so I ate back some exercise calories to counter the low-blood sugar. I can sure feel the bloat this morning, so my body is just working something out.
8/13 - 182.5 – I’m not feeling the greatest this week, mentally and physically, so I’m just hoping for some sort of loss this round even if it’s small.
8/14 – 182.5 – Alright – good ending to this 10 day roller coaster! I’m glad I hung in there!
1 pound loss!

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
Round 122
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
08/05: 205.8 / It’s great to kick off a new round. This morning’s weigh-in ties my low for the year 2020. I got below this in 2019 before the holiday season kicked in. All I can say is, it will be a fight from here on if I want to touch 199 this year. Challenge starting tonight! A good friend invited me fishing this evening, followed by a late dinner at one of our favorite greasy spoons. (not sure if all our international friends know what a “greasy spoon” is. Ha! Is it a global term?) Maybe I will set a mini goal of avoiding the French Fries. (chips, crisps)
08/06: 208 / …yesterday was a glorious festival of poor decisions with a double dash of salt.
08/07: 208 / Calories yesterday were on budget, but macros were not. My diet yesterday included a couple pieces of candy, a piece of blueberry coffee cake that DW made, a couple drinx and a bag of VERY salty popcorn at the outdoor concert in our town last night.
08/08: 208.2 / I have been naughty.
08/09: 208.4 / pizza
08/10: 208 / Monday at last. Weekend was a net no-change which is good.
08/11: 210.2 / I hate typing this number in this morning, but it is exactly why I am a member of this group. An unexamined life can get out of control before you know it. If I can average 207 over the next 3 days, I will meet my goal.
08/12: 207 / Drank more water, ate less food/salt. All around better pie-hole management. When I hold a 3-pound weight in my hand, it is hard to believe I lost that much in 24 hours.
08/13: 205.4 / I have been nice. Listening to the mini-me from the other shoulder whispering into my ear.
08/14: 205.4 / Goals for the round are met! Ten day average for the round (207.4) is less than the previous round average. Had to do it the hard way. Overall, I am happy with the trend, thanks to this group. The goal will be harder to meet as I get closer to my OGW. I think I could be happy in maintenance if my ten day average maintained the same as this morning’s weigh-in.
Hope to see you all next round!

behavioral goal - no mindless snacking
Day/Weight/Comment
08/05 - 221 no snacking
08/06 - 219.8 - still in the rapid water loss phase of things - no snacking
08/07 - 220.6 - pizza for dinner, still under calorie goal but over on the sodium - no snacking
08/08 - 220.4 - one small snack - 7 pringles, logged it and still under calories
08/09 - 219.6
08/10 - 219.0 Goal met!! 4 days left - I think I will revise my goal weight to 218.5, but since my scale only registers 0.2 changes I will go for 218.6
08/11 - 218.6 I think there may be some dehydration going on there - upset stomach all day yesterday - will try to avoid a rebound
08/12 - 217.4 ?? I don't think that can be right, but that is what the scale says. I will hold on the fanfare until I see what the next 2 days bring.
08/13 - IDK First scale reading was 216.8 - don't think that can be right. Tried again and got 219.4, I hope that's not right. I was sedentary yesterday but I stayed under my calories. 3rd time it was 218.2 - maybe right ??
08/14 - 218.2 I am pleased with that!5 -

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 yesterday which always derails my weight loss. Back on the horse.
08/10 - 146.8 - Weighed earlier than usual.
08/11 - 146.4 - Matching the last 10s EW, staying diligent.
08/12 - 145.6 - That is better. I have been completely on track, so I guess that I just had to be patient and allow the process to work.
08/13 - 145.1 - Getting there

08/09 179.6 yay! Came back a pound lighter. Ate smart (lots of veggies, thinking through my meals the night before), yet still enjoyed myself (campfire popcorn!). Lots of exercise, yet not excessive.
08/10 179.2 😁 Back to my best weight this year. Ate well for a Sunday and the results show. I may even get a little more sodium drop in the next day or so because I think I ate a lot more salt while camping than I normally do. Now back to work!
08/11 179.2 feel like I don’t deserve it as I suddenly binged an entire Lindt chocolate bar last night, but I’ll take it. And stay on track today.
08/12 181.6 This is what self-sabotage looks like. Sigh. Think I’m back on track now but will probably continue to pay for a few days.
08/13 181.8 yup, still paying for it. Sigh.
08/14 179.6 ok, nice to see this drop at the end of the round. Though still sad to know that across 20 days (2 rounds) I’ve only dropped 0.2!

08/06 206.9 Yesterday 12958 steps 1292 calories lunch walk afternoon intervals (walk run walk run) Doesn’t seem to be enough…I am not upset by the slight incline. What I burn in calories, is slowing down. I have to push myself harder. In some ways it is a good thing because it means I am healthier but I have to start using more strength training because walking isn’t doing it anymore…I have some 5lb dumbbells at home…
08/07 206.7 Yesterday 15179 steps 1921 calories went overboard on some fries. Stressful day yesterday, Hunger found me. My heart was working overboard due to stress not exercise. I did get in some good walking and exercise.
08/08 207.7 Yesterday 13820 steps lunch and evening walk 1407 calories a little fatty with some meatballs but nothing too bad. I think it is still stress. I am trying to budget my life.
08/09 208.2 This is going the wrong direction. I did get a 40 minute walk in last night and my son kept me running. 1484 in calories 10845 steps but generally not a very active day too much sitting around this weekend. (plus my sister picked up the scale and shook it ) Cringe! I think it’s off…
08/10 208.4 9559 steps 1609 steps and discouragement is making its way into my bones. I did get a 40 minutes aerobics but I am losing this fight…Today will be better…
08/11 206.5 That’s what I am talking about! 1524 calories 11764 steps lunch and evening walk. So hot this summer I want to go swimming. My scale has settled back down.
08/12 Birthday! 206.1 did get some walking today with my new fitbit! Thank you sis...I indulged earlier in the day but had a lightly dressed turkey cutlet salad. My indulgence was bacon and egg sandwich, shrimp street tacos, tequila and mini cupcakes. All and all not bad but my birthday keeps going until September...
08/13 205.4 This was little surprising so I expecting a rebound I did drink plenty of water to offset the mini cupcake. 11027 steps and 1804 calories yesterday.
Only tomorrow will tell
08/14 206.4 13261 steps 1545 calories 2 good walk but sore neck yesterday.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/5 - 182
Snack monster won last night, dammit, but Total calories 1 over goal.
8/6 - 182
I know I wrote an update yesterday but I can’t find it — maybe I hit Done instead of post. I hate that! Anyway, I filled in the gap and here I am, still floating along. Calories within range. Didn’t get my walk as a friend dropped by for chat, outdoors, socially distanced. That was nice — I hadn’t seen her since March. Off to walk this morning.
8/7 - 182
Calories overboard yesterday, and snack/dessert/peach cobbler at last night’s monthly garden gathering with 3 friends. I went for a lovely 4-mile walk at a park I had it been to in about 12 years. I’m heading out shortly for a another old favorite. (Having lived elsewhere for 10 years, its fun to rediscover what’s here!) Then I have some serious garden work to do — planting a new arrowwood viburnum and moving a few things around. Have a lovely Friday, all!
8/8 - 183.6
Ugh. Water mostly, Fazoli’s carry out for dinner, plus too much food the day before. I could feel the salt spreading through me Last night and sucking up everything I drank! I feel puffy today. Planning to eat very light and drink (water) very heavy today. I planted a new viburnum yesterday and have lots of garden work planned for the weekend, expanding a couple of beds and moving things around. Have a lovely Saturday, all!
8/9 - 183.2
Boy, it goes on so much more easily than it comes off! But...calories well below goal yesterday, and I did lots of work in my garden...built two raised beds in a spot that regularly kills plants, so I’m hoping this will solve the problem; loaded, unloaded, and “installed” 10 40-lb bags of soil; replanted perennials in the new raised beds. Today I’m planning to begin enlarging the outlines of my herb bed (Below) — 7’ seemed like the right size when I started it last spring, but it’s slightly too small. But the bees and hummers like it anyway! I love to sit near it in the evening and inhale the scents — peppermint, spearmint, basil, oregano, two thymes, sage. Mmmmm! Better than eating!
8/10 - 182.6
I fell off the no snack wagon last night — I worked about 3 hours putting in a new garden bed and enlarging another and I was hungry! Apparently I’ve flushed out the salt from the other day, though.
8/11 - 182.2
Big storms last night. We had no damage other than power outage and internet just came back, but our next door neighbor’s beautiful big crabapple broke mid-trunk and is across both our yards. Fortunately, it didn’t hit either house. Other friends also have trees down. I hope whoever else was in the path of this derecho is ok.
8/12 - 182.6
Ice cream, dammit. But it did taste good. I have a garden digging workout planned for this morning, and a walk on the greenway later. I’m determined to soak up what summer is left!
8/13 - 182
Some things never change (much). Pizza yesterday, but also 2 hours of digging and hauling dirt and total calories below goal, so I think salt in part. My herb garden is now 3’ larger in diameter — 10 feet total. I need more plants! Next year.... Anyway, I have a much lighter menu planned for today and I’m doing a little better with the snacking.
8/14 - 182.8
Well, I see the problem. My calorie average has increased round by round and is higher than maintenance. My bad. Good thing I’ve been burning some! Anyway, life goes on. I’m try to straighten up now.

08/14 - 154.8 - Slowly coming down now that TOM has started. Did leg day with Fam this morning even though neither of us wanted to work out. Best to do it early with a high of 101 today, though. Glad we knocked it out. Currently making some espresso for a pick me up and chugging water before I make myself some eggs and bacon (hello protein! I'm going to need you today for sure with these jello legs). Dog walked yesterday evening to try to meet my step goal which I BARELY managed. I'm ahead of the curve on steps today since I walked to/from Fam's along with the workout itself. Going to make it a good day!
Previous Day's Comments08/05 - Well hello there.... 3.5lb jump today? Must be sodium and dehydration. I drank a lot of water but I also moved a lot outside yesterday. It would've been difficult to keep up with my outside activity had I already been fully hydrated so I'm not surprised there. Also curious about scale because for the first time in the 4 yrs I've had it decided to start up in kg mode, not lbs mode. Took me a pretty long while to figure out how to get it back. May need new scale? Been reliable all this time so unsure.
08/06 - Not surprised to be this high still, had a horrible time fighting hunger and dealing with a bit of DOMS. My run yesterday helped quite a bit, I'm sure, from keeping it going higher but definitely left my legs sore this morning. Also probably still some leftover bloat from the ice cream on Tuesday. That much dairy will last several days, even if I don't feel the uneasiness anymore. Likely to be a busy day today for work. Going to try to get in some type of activity today but unsure when or how at this point. Bossman, as sweet as he is, is very long winded and he's scheduling a meeting today to set up my goals (haven't done it yet because COVID and hoped to do in person). Its time for our mid-year performance review and we can't postpone any longer. Not sure when that'll be yet so not sure when I'll have a big enough break between meetings to fit it in. Probably do a walk or yoga to stretch out these sore legs a bit.
08/07] - Seafood gumbo last night and might've (read: absolutely did) overdone it a bit. Went for a nice walk/hike up the "mountain" this morning then walked main street with the kids (their last time for the summer as they leave Sunday morning). Going to a new river tomorrow (they wanted to go to our usual river. We wanted to go tubing down this new river (BF and I haven't gone to yet - wanted to go first time with kids) this summer -- supposed to be super clear water and nice cold to offset the heat) so I'll get some activity with swimming in. No way to tube as they don't do shuttles from pickup point and we haven't bought tubes for the kids yet anyway. Swimming is better exercise than sitting in a tube anyway haha Tamales and enchiladas tonight for the kids going away party with fam and fam's mom is making dairy and gluten free enchiladas so hopefully I won't be all bloated tomorrow. Have reason to take it easy tonight -- bloat shows really well in my swimsuits and I don't need to be focused on looking so fat but having fun with kids before they leave instead
08/08 - DNP
08/09 - Yesterday was alright. The water was super shallow so no real swimming. About 2 hours away so lots of sitting in the truck and sitting in the water. Stopped for Mexican food as we didn't have time to cook before bed so probably still a bit high on sodium. Going to go check out horse races today while BF is gone driving kids back to their mom's. Hopefully there's a nice area for me to walk social distanced while still being able to see. I've never been to a horse race so I want to learn some things! (I will have my mask and hand sanitizer with me)
08/10 - That's some cheesy-bloat. Fam made some Au Gratin for dinner with our steaks (she had never heard of them before and somehow still made them absolutely perfect). Feel a lot lighter and less bloated now that I had lots of water to rid of dehydration but that's long after my weigh-in this AM. As usual, water is expensive at events and had to attempt to make up once I was home which I obviously couldn't quite manage. My new leggings come in today and hoping to get out of the house early enough tomorrow before it gets too hot to try them out and get some activity in. Depending on work today, I'm hoping I can squeeze a walk in so I have some kind of activity.
08/11 - Inching down after a 30 minute yoga workout -- couldn't get my walk in with work. Dinner (ordered out but tried to keep healthy-ish) and (2) movie(s) night with the BF quarantine-style. Movie ended about 45 minutes later than I normally head to bed and then the dog decided to spaz out 45 minutes before my alarm was set to go off. Sitting at 5.5hrs of sleep according to my fitbit. I now have a bad headache and I'm beyond sleepy. My 9am got moved to this afternoon and I'm debating if I should just get ready, go for a run/walk (likely less running than planned due to sleepiness) then come back and nap or just not run at all and catch a nap. I suppose exercise is supposed to help with headaches so I might just do it for the fresh air and potential headache relief without meds.
08/12 - Bouncy bouncy but its okay. Had green curry chicken last night (homemade) and it had a bit more sodium than I'd like. Definitely had more water yesterday than in a long while. BF built me an elevated garden bed for the backyard so dog can't get to it and he can have his front porch back - Lots of moving bags of mulch and soil. Still need a couple more bags of soil but I think I've got the big plants at the height I need and then figure out the shorties with the extra bags. Hopefully the workouts/outdoor work activities are what is really stalling my weight - been quite sore as this is the most consistent I've been with working out in a long while. Speaking of, just completed an ab/cardio/shoulder circuit with fam for the day and ate my egg sandwich breakfast. Hungry still, but hoping the water and a bit more time will ease that feeling - before I would keep snacking until I was gorged but I've learned to wait for my meal to settle and the signals to my brain to say "satisfied." Grocery haul day -- hoping to come up with some healthy options for me that are filling for lunch.
08/13 - Its okay! I figured it out: TOM bloat is hitting me hard. I actually tracked my food as best I could yesterday, got a workout done in the morning and took the dog for a short walk in the evening to be sure I got my steps in (didn't reach 10k but got above goal of 7k which I lowered due to work from home limiting my walking opportunities). I got water in and all. Everything was right but the bloat was not. Hopefully tomorrow will bring relief, but we shall see. Woke up with horrible neck pain (guess I slept funny again) so I just finished putting a heat pack on. Going to try to do some yoga focused on the neck and shoulders later to loosen things up a bit and get my daily activity in. Maybe it'll help the bloat, too, even if it is hormonal.

I'm lucky that I like dry wines which 5oz only has 2 carbs ... but it is the quantity that I'm avoiding. 2-4 glasses per night during COVID19 pandemic is not a good excuse. So limiting myself for now to none And then if and when I do drink wine again I'll target 1 glass.

@Lilylady3k @quiltingjaine
Wait. Did I miss a wine talk? I feel like it's one of my reasons I gained so much weight. My husband and I wine taste a lot (California vineyards). He built me a wine closet which holds 172 bottles. I prefer the dry reds, but he recently bought a case of a red blend which is 60% grenache. That's pretty sweet.4 -

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!
08/10 - 320.3 - Always up after a weekend of eating, but still down 3.7 lbs. for the week and 8.7 lbs. over 2 weeks. I think I'll be dropping my gym membership @ Planet Fitness. The gym was closed Saturday morning w/out explanation which makes me nervous. Plus, not all the people are being as safe as they should. I just got hired for a job and the last thing I need is to be out for 2+ weeks with Covid. I did make a soup that turned out more like a stew, but with a broth vs. a gravy. Chicken and sage sausage w/ lentils. Last weeks attempt was a bit bland tasting, so I upped the seasoning. I like it, but Mom said it had too much seasong. So, I guess I've got about 10 qts. of pressure cooker soup/stew to myself.
08/11 - 318.3 - And back on the downswing. That's 2.6 down from 1 week ago. One of things I've always hated about the East Coast is humidity in the summer. I was going to walk this morning, but 96% humidity put the kibosh on that. I'll drag my butt into the kitchen later to make keto bread. I've seen enough recipes that I think I can do it. Not really into keto, but extra processed carb calories are a no-no.
08/12 - 319.7 - Up from yesterday, after an eating day, but down 2.7 from last week, so still on track. Got up @ 5AM to go to a lab for drug testing. If you don't get there EARLY, you could sit for hours. They had the option of appointments, but non until next week. Plus, they couldn't send me to a local lab (5 options), they had to send me 30 minutes away. But ya gotta do what they want, else no job.
08/13 - 316.2 - When I started this journey, my waistline was 65 inches. It's now 57. Not great, but still a huge improvement. And with a day to spare, I made my goal by almost 2 lbs. And down 3.5 lbs. over last week. I think the relief of stress from now finding work have released tons of cortisol from my system.
08/14 - 315.5 - Now this is different. Normally, the day after eating, my weight goes UP. But today, I'm happy to say, it went DOWN.

Round 122 goal: 229.X
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.
8/10: 231.4 (+1.2)/19.8 (+0.2). My brother-in-law and his girlfriend came over last night, and brought sushi. I think I kept it under control for the most part (one old-fashioned), but I'm still not liking my numbers this morning. The good news? I actually lifted weights yesterday for the first time in months. It's not the same as the gym, but it's SO MUCH more than nothing. It felt good, and I'm going to commit to alternating weight lifting with my rowing machine until I can't stand it anymore. We'll see how it goes. I'm also happy that I have four non-weekend days to hit my sub-230 goal.
8/11: 230.8 (-0.6)/19.7 (-0.1). Can I just say how much I love TrendWeight (the graph at the bottom of my posts)? I try to keep track of my weight on a per challenge basis, with total weight and body fat % lost, and averages of both for the 10-day period. It works out pretty well, but it's still a snapshot of what's happened over a 10-day period, and it really does not capture the gist of what's really happening at any moment. Enter TrendWeight (or any other graph people are using). I was inspired by COVID-19, really... those 10-day rolling averages anything COVID-19 related. With this tool, I know EVERY DAY if I'm still "headed in the right direction." My weight goes up and down regularly (mostly predictably, if I'm being honest with myself), but based on my graph (which is based, I believe, on the 10-day rolling average), my hard work is paying off. Just FYI, I know no one at TrendWeight, and I have no financial ties to it, or anyone from it.
8/12: 230.6 (-0.2)/19.7 (0.0). I had a great dinner last night: super-healthy, totally fit within my plan. But my wife wanted a glass of wine, and she prefers not to drink alone. I succumbed. Alcohol seems like it has been a HUGE contributor any time my weight is not moving in the right direction, and it make sense. I limited it to one glass of wine yesterday, but I don't even WANT to drink right now. I would much rather have consistent success right now, and to feel motivated EVERY day. I told her afterwards that I need to take a break from drinking. She can do what she wants, but I am going to need her to respect that I am not in the same place that she is. If I want to have a drink, that's fine. But I can't give in to peer pressure. I have not exercised since two days ago. I am going to try my best to lift weights tonight after work.
8/13: 229.0 (-1.6)/19.5 (-0.2). When I'm on-plan, I lose weight. It seems like a pretty simple proposition at this point. I'm still pretty early in my journey, so this "rule" fits better now than it will later. The closer I get to my weight goal, the slower my progress will be: not because of lack of effort, but because that's how it generally works. I still have not lifted weights since a few days ago. I'm going to get some breakfast, and then I'll get in a light workout. It's really important that I get exercise fully back into the equation. I just need to remember to be patient and kind with myself. Good habits are built over time. I have a pretty good handle on food right now; it's time to get some momentum with exercise.
8/14: 228.4 (-0.6)/19.4 (-0.1). This is a good ending to the round (obviously), although I find myself thinking that I have been caught up in the past by "round endings." I can say that, at least two to four times, having a bad ending weight has been the spark that caused the fire of me disappearing from this group. Like I said a couple of days ago, being able to see my progress graphically has taken away all the shame from daily weigh-ins. Even if my curve flattens out, or goes in the wrong direction, I feel more confident that I am doing everything I can tolerate food-wise. That being said, I STILL haven't gone outside and lifted weights. I need to do this. I'm going to do it. Right as soon as I finish this. I keep having to reinforce to my wife that I am taking a break from alcohol. It's mildly annoying to have to do this, but I REALLY want to reach my goals. So I'll keep it up.

Add me in to the problems with alcohol discussion. I hate drinking my calories, unless it's a no-sugar-added fruit juice smoothie kind of thing. Even then, only in small doses.2 -

49 year old hoping to hit my personal goal weight by 50th birthday (11 months).
I am so happy to have stumbled on this board. This is exactly what I need. Like minded people to help keep me accountable, 10 days at a time.
Ultimately, I'd like to lose 11.2 pounds from what I weighed this morning (8/12/2020). I realize that there are only a few days left in this round, but I am too excited to wait so here I am.
