Goal this round: To lower my ten-day average from previous ten-day average. Or, at least don’t make a total pig of myself during the long weekend getaway planned for the middle of the round.

Historical Averages:

R 94: 210.7 (20191108 = date of the last day of the round)

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.

Still a bit unwell, so no walking yet. I'm finding it easier not to snack in the evenings, which makes staying under my limit much easier.

8/25 - 169.7 Trying not to get too excited. Each oz in a lb. seems to have a mind of its own lately. Each taking turns hopping up and down like evil bouncy balls. (After I wrote this I got a mental image of what 16 of those balls released all at once might look like--cracked me up! I'm just weird like that.)
8/26 - 168.7 Keeping this loss to the end of this round will be my new R124 goal. Thinking it will still be a challenge.

8/25 vacation for the last 5 days dnw
8/26 155.2 Considering we ate out all 5 days and I definitely splurged on sweets and treats quite a bit this isn't awful. Back on track today. There is something comforting about knowing I have this place to keep myself accountable.

Hi friends, so glad this thread is always here when I can get my act together.
Goals this round, to lose 1 pound.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 193.4 estimated total calories: 1505

08/26 193.4 I have to take a break from running due to stupid plantar faciitis which is super depressing. BUT I'm doing a 30 day no alcohol challenge and I'm interested to see if that makes it easier to lose. So far I miss my glass of wine while cooking but some days are easier than others. I am going to try to get back into lifting at the gym since I can't run, I tried the elliptical on Monday but foot hurt for two days after so probably gonna give that one some more time still. Calorie goal: 1400

A friend brought a gorgeous big vine-ripened cantaloup yesterday — mmmmm. Also tomatoes and peppers. I see a beautiful salad in my future! 🥗 We’re under a heat advisory today and it’s already hot, so I’m not walking unless it cools down this evening, but I can garden in spurts and run in to cool off. I’m also refinishing some nightstands & end tables & trying to decide on a color for our bedroom, which I want to repaint — plenty to do! Have a great week, all!

8/26 - 182.2 😐 - 1499 🙂 - snack 🍿🍨🙁
I don’t know why I had to have ice cream last night. Maybe the hot hot day, but that’s just a flimsy excuse. Still, I hit my calorie goal, if barely. No walk — a friend came over and we sat out in the garden to catch up and enjoy the beautiful evening. Not bad, all in all.

08/25 - 66.5kg - Got a bike ride in and did some core exercises. Happy with what I ate for the most part; didn’t snack!
08/26 - 66.7kg - Not sure what happened there, probably a bit too many calories yesterday (I wasn’t able to track exactly). I’ll keep up with the healthy habits.

CamandJarvis · August 2020

I died a little... I think I made up for yesterday's lack of movement quite a bit with this one. Fam really did me dirty with this workout...

2 more workouts this week to meet my 4/week goal. I realized today, once I start commuting to work, I can only manage 3 days, max. 4x 10 hour days with a 3-4hr commute (depending on traffic) each of those days and only a 30 minute lunch won't give me an opportunity for much of a workout.

Going to try to meet my 4 days every week until I have to go back (no known return date yet so I may have a couple months yet) and find little things I can do during a break (10 squats every hour? Desk pushups every bathroom break?) If y'all have ideas or thoughts, let me know! My cube is really small so I can't do much by way of yoga like at my old job (I had a fairly large office space) but I know there's chair yoga videos out there for little stretches in between.

Round 124 goal(s): 2.4 lbs (to get and stay under 225). More importantly, lift weights at least 2x/wk, and rowing machine at least 2x/wk.

8/25: 227.6 (+0.4)/19.3 (0.0). Alright. I need to get this under control. I talked with my wife last night and asked that she stop accepting "outside food," particularly from her family. My sister-in-law visited on Sunday, and my in-laws sent chile rellenos with her. She also brought banana bread that she made from scratch. I love my wife's family, but them inundating me with food just throws me off. It's like they communicate love with food. I drew my line in the sand with my; I NEED to be in control of MY food. When I'm not in control of my food, something happens inside of me. I have been REALLY disciplined since I've been back, and I have been REALLY happy with the progress I have made in such a short time. But when I feel "forced" to do something different, particularly when it's multiple times in a week, it sends me down the road of "losing my mojo." I'm not going to let that happen; if that means me throwing away food that we have been "given," so be it. My health has to be more important than whether or not I eat something that someone gives to me unannounced. I guess what I'm getting at is that it would be easier for me if "people" were just told that I am really focusing on my health right now, and that I do NOT want ANYONE to give me ANYTHING. I COULD do that... but my wife doesn't want me to (for various reasons... mostly worried that she's going to hurt someone else's feelings). She would need to be the person that communicates this information to her family, but she's either reluctant or unwilling to do so. I have got to figure this out, because I like what's happening with me since I returned to this group. I want to continue my good habits. I'm going to go home tonight and do strength training; my body is still a little sore from what I did a few days ago, but I am going to "suck it up" and work through it tonight.

8/26: 226.4 (-1.2)/19.2 (-0.1). It feels really good to be back on the right track. I snacked a little bit too much last night (healthy snacks, though), but I generally had a pretty good day. My back is hurting a little bit, but I'm still going to try to do strength training today (I was still too sore yesterday); I'll just take it easy. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over to watch the Laker game tonight. I will NOT be having alcohol. I need to talk with my wife about food, and what we're planning in that regard. BEFORE they get here.
