I’m jumping on the bandwagon and using this too. Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Day/Weight/Comment
06/10 …..203.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/11 …..203.2 ….. The carry-out for a quick late dinner was horrible. I literally threw away 80% of it and I am proud that this old gal who grew up pretty poor (never waste food!) put it in the trash can and moved on with some cold water and a good TV program. A non-scale victory for sure! Good luck everyone this round. Let’s make the most of these next 10 days together!
06/12 …..205.2 ….. A big gain. Thai food within calories but no TMI. Probably some water retention as well.
06/13 …..203.4 ….. Back to the 203’s after TMI cooperated. I’m grateful yesterday’s weight was not permanent. Handyman here today to do some gardening that is difficult for me. My internet was down yesterday most of the day until 8:00 this morn. 2nd time this week. I’ll be doing lots of sitting catching up on paperwork. I will try to get in as many step breaks as possible.
06/14 …..201.8 ….. Yay! Lower than I’ve been since before Covid shut-downs March 2020. I must admit it was about an 800 calorie day yesterday. It was hot and I just didn’t feel like eating. I ended up throwing out about 80% of my low cal/low carb dinner. Today I will increase the calories and carbs (an uptick is on the horizon for tomorrow?) but will make all healthy choices so It’s not empty calories. Lets hope I can keep this ball rolling!
06/15 …..202.0 ….. Just the slight uptick I was expecting when getting my calories back in order. I am thrilled this lower weight is sticking around. I am traveling today so there will be less movement and more calories (restaurant dinner) but I am not about to lose my sight on Onederland. I am feeling pretty proud of myself right now.
06/16 …..203.4 ….. After travel weight. Disappointed that the trip took longer than anticipated and that I ate two pretty large meals out. NSV was that I didn’t stuff myself and left 25% on my plate both times. Taking it in stride and planning an extra low calorie meal today with extra movement and lots of water. This weight loss with be achieved in with a triumphant attitude, not one of defeat. Who’s with me?
06/17 …..202.8 ….. Just staying honest here. Last night was less than perfect. I kept my calories in my meals low, as planned, but probably too low. Too hungry last night and bad snacks were involved. I ended up doing a bit of dancing to off-set it even though I was so tired. Luckily my meal calories and carbs were good so there was still a ½ pound drop on the scale. It’s a learning process. Today, a few more calories in the meals should take care of the nighttime hunger. A better planned snack is on the menu if needed.
06/18 …..203.0 ….. No worries. Just a normal fluctuation. Yesterday I ate on plan but had fewer steps due to running so many errands (car riding around town). I hope to be more active today. We are expecting a warmer day today but I will stay positive about that and not let it stop me.
06/19 …..202.6 ….. Was so hungry last night I could barely think! I made it thru but it wasn’t easy. My calories and carbs were in line with my current goal but I think choices with more fiber could have helped. I made it through uncomfortably, but I made it. Glad to see I was rewarded for my efforts with a drop on the scale today. I hope today will be more nourishing and fulfilling while sticking to plan.
06/20 …..200.2 ….. Woo Hoo! Is this a whoosh or is is because I was up and down all night with TMI that emptied me and caused a bit of dehydration? IDK but I will stay positive and take it as a sign that all my changes are paying off. Pleased as punch and pickles! You can bet that I am going to be ULTRA mindful today! So close to Onederland! I’ll need to be at 197.8 or less to feel like I’ve permanently made it because I can gain 2 pounds overnight with just one take-out meal. I can’t wait to get there! Congrats to all who have reached their goals, had NSV’s, or just hung in there (which is the hardest thing to do of all!). See you next round.

Still holding steady at this weight, hoping for a drop tomorrow! Menu planning today for next week.
6/13: 173.7
Super busy day yesterday, so was OMAD, not eating until 7:30 p.m. & then enjoyed some wine with my husband in the evening. Happy to say I did not get into any late night snacks after drinking, which is a big win!!
6/14: 173.6
New week, feeling very motivated! Last night with dinner, I had a salad from our small vegetable garden, the lettuce is the 1st "harvest", still waiting for everything else to be ready to picked. On plan for today is a full body strength workout.
6/15: DNW
Absentmindedly drank water right when I woke up, so skipped the scale for that reason
6/16: 173.2
Delicious dinner last night with lettuce and herbs from our garden, + 1 mojito (got to use that mint!)
6/17: 172.9
The 1st Kale from the garden was ready yesterday, used it for my morning green smoothie. Need to be better with drinking water today, still under goal on that.
6/18: 172.9
No change from yesterday, but it was a good day all around so that should up on the scale eventually! Have a full body strength workout planned for today and plan to be AF through the weekend, if not longer. Also, making going to bed earlier a priority.
6/19: 172.8
I slept in and weighed super late this morning, the number on the scale was much lower than the one I am posting, but don't think it was accurate, so I'm going with this more likely number. Plan to sleep in again tomorrow, so we'll see what the Monday scale shows! Today I have an Abs workout & still planning on being AF today - although might make a special cocktail to enjoy with my husband on Father's Day tomorrow.
6/20: 172.2
Weighed in later again this morning, so maybe not accurate but I'm posting it because it gets me to my round goal I have a super busy day today with lots to get done plus full body cardio workout planned. See you in the next round!

June focus: maintain weight < 150
improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 153 🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.- Maintain weight < 150
- 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!
Recent 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 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

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.

Goal weight for this round: Get to the 115 range hopefully…fingers crossed!
Previous days6/11 116.2 Started my day with a 20 minute bike ride and didn’t get a chance to get my walk in. Also, hank you TOM and salt and strength workouts for water retention blip up. I’m really happy I saw 115 last round and hope to see it again this round. I plan on seeing this number drop soon because we just got 2 bunches of parsley in our CSA today and I plan on making a large parsley heavy tabouleh salad to munch on tomorrow and Sunday. I also swapped spinach for a giant head of green leaf lettuce, so there will be some other salads in my future. The parsley will be a nice natural diuretic along with some dandelion tea I plan on sipping throughout as well. Oh, how I love the summer greens starting up 😊! I missed the last two days of posting the last round due to insanity at work but today seemed to be more tolerable…so that was nice. Tonight, I got Thai Masaman curry takeout but ordered it with beef and extra veggies and sticky rice ( you get less rice when you order the sticky rice instead of Jasmine). I put half of it in my bowl and saved the other half for a meal tomorrow. I just felt like I needed the nourishing coconut milk and spices. I’ve been pretty hungry this week and I’m listening to my body by trying to give it a little bit more food than normal. Maybe it’s the hormones doing wacky things to my appetite but I’ll go with it versus fighting it and being a hungry & grumpy person. Enjoy your Friday night!6/20 Did not weigh this morning. I ate light yesterday and today was decent really good until I decided to have Coldstone ice cream for dinner. Sat by the pool this morning until about 1:30. I finished what I was working on yesterday and submitted everything. So now it’s in someone else’s hands. Happy with where I got to this round though.
6/12 Haven’t weighed yet this morning. I plan to start the day with a strength workout and then do some things around the house like dishes, make a healthy version of apple crisp, make salad, and wash our greens from the CSA. My husband and I might also kick the soccer ball around later as well.
6/13 Did not post.
6/14 116.4 Salt? Strength training? Not sure but I’m cool with it. My food yesterday was so so but not terrible. Today my food has been on point so I’m sure some of this water weight will drop eventually. I started my day with a two mile run, went for a two mile walk during my lunch and did a strength workout at the end of my work day (about 20 minutes and 6 1 minute sprints on the bike as a burnout at the end for 12 minutes total on the bike). The burnout is part of the strength program and is supposed to increase something in a good way. Supposedly results are better when it’s done that way. Anyways, dinner tonight is American Chop Suey with whole wheat penne and mybe some local strawberries for dessert.
6/15 115.8 And the water weight drop begins again 😊. Hoping to see 114 before we leave for vacation in about 12 days. Started the day with a 20 minute spin bike workout and plan to go for a walk during lunch today. Split chicken breasts and salad for dinner tonight along with some sort of roasted veggies.
6/16 checked in on mobile
6/17 116.4 did not post
6/18 116.4 did not post
6/19 114.6 So on Thursday night I got dinner with a couple of friends at the Cheesecake Factory. I ended up getting a turkey burger and a side Caesar salad and skipped having bread at the beginning of the meal. We were too busy talking to stuff my face with bread ahaha! I got a slice of cheesecake to take home with me too. I ended up doing a two mile run yesterday morning and then had the slice of cheesecake for breakfast. I wasn’t hungry all day after eating it and then I ended up deciding to fast the rest of the day to see what would happen because my hunger wasn’t even there. So here I am at my “goal” but probably a little dehydrated and less contents in the belly but I’ll take it. It was nice to see the shift in the scale. I started my day with a strength session and plan to break my fast in a little bit with a protein smoothie with frozen banana, plain protein powder, and peanut butter powder with a side of local strawberries and a couple ounces of left over kielbasa (from earlier in the week). Lunch will be a big salad with bok choi greens, green leaf lettuce, cucumbers, and whatever else I can find to add to it.
Work has been stressful this week and we got word of a big change coming (also found out my supervisor who is amazing will be leaving), so I’m working on something this weekend that will hopefully turn out well and create a new opportunity for me to grow within the organization. Wish me luck!

6/20 - DNW - Successful trip. Back now. Updated weight from Friday, didn't have scale Saturday or this morning. Will be back for a new round tomorrow!
Previous Day's Comments6/11 - Shocked by this. We tried a new pizza place that we ALWAYS forget exists (a little hole in the wall). It was delicious, super filling, and even cheaper than our usual for 5! We will definitely be going back there. I expected to be up since I was stuffed on pizza, didn't get a workout in, and spent a good chunk of the day sitting between 1hr commute to work, sitting in morning training, 1 hr commute home, then 2 more hour-long meetings (on the computer so couldn't walk during). Did manage to get steps in between, though, and surpassed my step goal (currently set at 7200). Fasted 17 hours, drank 90 oz water. Today, despite being my day off, I woke up 10 minutes later than I normally do for work so I decided to save myself and get up. If I went back to sleep, I'd probably have a headache, be groggy, and feel horrid. Stupid oversleeping... Gave me time to knock out my kickboxing workout and take the pup for a walk before it got hot (BF decided to start walking recently to help with sleep and took her last night to make up for me being gone in the morning)
6/12 - Likely sodium blimp from homemade beef lo mein. Also TOM should be here within a few days so I expected a jump up. Hopefully TOM and all the bloating that comes with will be gone by next weekend before we head to the Gulf. Feeling pretty good with the progress in the mirror. Fasted 15 hours, drank 90 oz water. took pup on 2 walks and finished my kickboxing yesterday. Today we are working on the land before heading to my Godson and Goddaughter's combined birthday party (private family parties are on their actual birthdays, Goddaughter's on the 1st and Godson's on the 17th). Tomorrow we will head to the river to cool off and relax for the first time this year. Finally getting warm enough!
6/13 - This....is weird. Didn't track fasting but know I broke it early before heading to the land. Busted my butt working on the land though no formal exercise. Managed 90 oz water but also a few drinks. I'm happy with it. Especially if we do make it out to the river to swim today. Hope it sticks around (or even gets better) for next weekend. No sign of TOM or even pre-TOM bloat. Hoping it comes and goes before the weekend
6/14 - No hugs needed. This is a bit of dehydration, a bit of Mexican food for dinner, and a bit of bloat (likely combination of food and pre-TOM). Totally and completely expected. Back at it today, already changed into workout clothes. Knocking out my kickboxing as soon as my morning meeting is over, then take the pup for a walk before it gets too hot for her but once it's bright enough for me to feel comfortable. My water cup is filled and ready. I'm determined to bounce back by Friday. I know I can do it as long as I stay on track (:
6/15 - Initial TOM drop. Still feeling that heavy, puffy feeling, though not as bad as yesterday. Hopefully by tomorrow that will be gone. Yesterday, after some technical issues, I was able to get kickboxing done. Took pup on a nice walk, and managed at least 250 steps every hour from 7am to 5pm (Fitbit). Then kiddos wanted to take the pup on another walk after dinner which I obliged to. Fasted 17 hours, drank over 90 oz water. Suuuuper tired this morning so skipping kickboxing and just taking the pup for a walk. Not sure what lunch will be, choices limited but no grocery shopping until after we return from the coast. Should have some frozen veggies in the deep freeze to work with. Work will be busy today so focusing on water and hitting step goal in between meetings.
6/16 - I expected to be up with dinner. DD wanted to make dinner and decided on a chicken spinach artichoke lasagna. It was delicious, though heavy. I'm feeling a bit heavy myself and have a bit of low belly bloat still going on, but really shocked dinner didn't drive weight up. Especially with all the dairy. Fasted 14 hours but was feeling a bit lightheaded. Drank 90 oz water. Walked the pup in the morning then DD and I went on a bit of a longer walk after dinner down this hilly road FamWife wants to take her on for runs (DD is in track/cross country and FamWife loves running). Today and tomorrow I need to force myself to do kickboxing. I'm feeling better than yesterday, but I'm still quite groggy this morning. Hopefully 2 days of workouts before we leave will help banish the last of this bloat and get me feeling like I was Sunday. Maybe even better than Sunday? Girl can hope.
6/17 - Well, hard work paid off. Fasted 17 hours, drank over 106 oz (that's as far as I tracked it). Did kickboxing, took pup for a walk in the morning. After dinner DD and I took pup for another short 1 mile walk until she was tired, returned her home, and went back out for another 1.9miles. Leaving super early in the morning so packing up the truck today for the weekend. Hoping to take DD to get a pedicure with me at some point (lunch break maybe?) Once meeting is over, I'm knocking out my kickboxing then taking pup for a walk. It's a bit chilly this morning (yep, 67 degrees is chilly to me) so the pup will be happy. Private birthday party for my Godson tonight so hoping I can stay light through the day and enjoy a bit with him. The Big 3! And first birthday since liver transplant so he can really enjoy all this. Makes my heart happy
6/18Gulf Coast. Happy birthday, BF!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/11 159.6 not enough water, ate 2 tacos for lunch instead of just 1, ate an unhealthy snack at work. Dinner did pretty good, didn’t snack at home after work.
6/12 159.6 Glad that it wasn't higher... Had over 12,000 steps today, but unhealthy eating, again.
6/13 159.6 eating too much, still... stress eating & letting the time get away from me.

6/15 159.6 Same things as yesterday, again.
6/16 159.6
6/17 160.2 wrong direction... keep doing the same thing. Won't get results unless I change my habits....
6/18 DNW -- An exceptionally bad stressful morniing. Ended up in a dither, I guess you could say. So ANGRY, that I could hardly think straight. The day was just BAD. I am NOW in the process of moving my Dad from one Rehab to another. That's how bad things got. Decision made and acted upon!!!
6/19 158.6 lbs Yay! A great start this morning to make up for yesterday. Yes! I'll take it.
6/20 158.6 lbs Yay!
Ending this round with a loss of 1 pound.

Not close to a screen this weekend, so I am catching up with the last three entries. This number would have been larger if not for 3 hours of shooting sporting clays on Saturday under a boiling sun. I am sure some evaporation happened. 😊
It is Flag Day here in the U.S.! I am flying the colors!
6/15: 211.0
Starting to plan for the weekend. DW’s family reunion weekend, which includes a postponed Saturday funeral for an aunt who died in January; The actual reunion picnic on Saturday night; and we are hosting a party Friday night for DW’s cousins (25 of us all in our 50’s -70’s.) I will be smoking some pork shoulder for pulled pork sandwiches.
All of it centered around food. I am sure I will not feel the slightest hunger pang for three days.
6/16: 211.2
Gigantic salty burrito lunch with chips, beans, rice yesterday. Spinning class helped stem the damage.
6/17: 210.4
Ate more reasonably. No exercise.
I did watch my DGS (age, just 4) play some soccer at the Park District league last night. Monday night it was baseball. Both are under the same sign-up. It gives them a taste of each. His team is called the Purple Platypie (platypuses). Purple shirt.
The whole experience for me is like watching a goldfish swim around a fishbowl while I try to direct his movements with my mind. Except I love the goldfish dearly. A lot of running around in circles, talking with new friends, hopping around, striking a Captain Morgan-like pose with his foot on the ball, and laying on the grass with his feet in the air. He had a blast. Me too.
