Happy to start this new round off with a loss! Debating whether today is a running day or maybe just a neighborhood walk day...
7/22: 168
7/23: 167.9
Really trying to focus on my goals this round, gotten a little lapse on my water intake. Also thinking instead of limiting alcohol, I need to instead be AF for the rest of this round. Having a glass or two of wine in the evening after dinner, pushes back my eating window for the next day with IF 16/8 & I really like to eat my 1st meal at 11 instead of 1 or 2 in the afternoon.

Enjoyed sleeping in a bit over the weekend, so didn't weigh Saturday & or Sunday, happy to see a loss this morning on the scale! Changing up my food plan for the upcoming few weeks...have 2 trips planned for August and would like to see a little extra movement on the scale before then. I've been consistently losing around 1.5 lbs. per round, would like to improve that to closer to 3 lbs. per round, which is still a somewhat moderate goal.
7/27: 166.8
Nice little whoosh! All around good day yesterday, although did not get a workout in but was super busy and steps were higher than normal, so that's something:)
7/28: 166.4
A little too low on the calories last night...didn't like last night's dinner, so didn't eat it. Scrambled to make something else but came in about 200-300 calories under plan and then IF window was extended to 9 p.m. Luckily not feeling hungry at all this morning, as I am now fasting until 1 p.m. Been working this week on mobility exercises only, but the lower temps today are calling my name for going for a run.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/21 158.6
7/22 158.6 My Dad was discharged from the hospital, today. He s back in Rehab.... Ate a little too many calories, but it wasn't a stress binge. Just could have made wiser choice.
7/23 158.6 Didn't do great yesterday, but not too bad. Drinking my minimum water for me: 32 oz. (Better than only 8oz)
7/24 158.6 Surprised not a gain... didn't do well yesteray with eating. Met my water goal, again: 32 oz (Once again, better than the 8 oz that I had been doing for a long time). $ days in a row the exact same weight. I'm good with that cause at least I didn't gain. Just lucky, I think. Like most everyone else, need to reduce the calories going in... Today, I am planning my food!
7/25 159.6 Oy! But, I knew it was coming. I just can't seem to get a handle on the stress, y'all. I did so well, then I blew it. Let stress get to me & ate ice cream & jelly Bellies... like that will help reduce the stress... NOT! Just a momentary pleasure. Just feel like I should have some pleasure some time... but I MUST not do it in food form. I even got over 8,000 steps in, yesteday. And, planned my meals... but then just blew things.
7/26. 158.6 I did good yesterday.
7/27 158.6 my DS & his wife had a baby boy last night! So happy! I have my first Grandson. I now have one of each.
7/28. 158.6 yesterday, I got to hold my grandson for the very first time!! While holding him last night, I received a phone call. Two Covid cases where my mother is living. they both were vaccinated. I was just with my mother on Sunday. Uh oh. They did a rapid test on her and she is negative. They will be testing every day though, and there is Covid at the place. I won’t be able to see my mother now for quite a while. Until we’re sure we’re pretty sure that Covid is no longer there. As I want to be around my grandson if possible.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/20 …..194.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/21 …..193.4 ….. Wow! I didn’t expect this loss today. However, I am reminded that sometimes the changes take a few days to show up on the scale. Yesterday I upped my calories closer to my goal (a little low lately). I got in less movement with no planned exercise or walking but I did do yard work and stack wood. I would love to get to 192 point anything this round so that I could be within reach of the 180’s by next round. However, my goal is any weight loss at all (progress) so I am well on my way to both I hope! Good luck everyone on this round. Our goals are varied and so are our methods. I am behind you all and look forward to sharing our journeys.

07/22 …..194.2 ….. Dammit! I got really hungry last night because dinner earlier just didn’t satisfy. I ended up eating extra “diet” snacks. I was in the red by 199 calories. 0.8 which is concerning because I am having a long travel day today which will mean restaurants and sitting. I dread tomorrow’s weigh-in! On the good side – my trend weight is still going down. Staying grateful!

07/23 …..196.4 ….. After travel weight and also following a day of too many snacks. I will keep today very low calorie. I’m planning on moving a lot and sucking down the water!

07/24 …..196.6 ….. I ended up with a bit of travel yesterday for supplies for the reno. My handyman accompanied me and I bought us dinner out. I fasted all day and kept the meal reasonable. No TMI day 2 is not doing me any favors! Today I will try again for the lower calorie and carb day. Raining cats & dogs here.

07/25 …..194.8 ….. A nice drop on the scale after a low 1004 calorie day and very low carb-friendly veggies. Not much exercise yesterday, no enough water and very little sleep last night, but the efforts with my eating plan payed off. Today is an exciting day. My childhood best friend called me out of the blue yesterday. She has traveled to Michigan from Tennessee for a Memorial Service for an Aunt. She is going to meet me halfway from downstate so we can have lunch together and a nice visit before she heads back. Of course that means another restaurant and lots of sitting during the travel but I am thrilled to be able to see her. I will make up for any hits on the scale or waistline. I always do. Glad I had a drop today on the scale. That helps.

07/26 …..194.8 ….. What a wonderful day with my friend yesterday! It is so wonderful the connection that two people can have when they grew up together, on the same street, in the same school, in the same grade and classes. We see things the same way with all those shared experiences. Oh, if our children only knew what we know! Happy to see the scale did not move after the delicious lunch. However, we all know it can take a few days to show up so I am going to stay diligent today. Extra water too I hope.

07/27 …..193.4 ….. A very nice whoosh that I was not expecting. I stayed within calorie yesterday and got in some extra movement so I’m pleased it payed off, even after a couple of days of travel. I had what I think is a bat in my house last night. In my bedroom flying low under my ceiling fan over my bed. I have been up all night trying to find it. I opened the attached garage doors and I hope it flew out while I was locked in my bedroom with Pebbles. I can’t find it today but I don’t know where it would be during the day if it is still in here. Any advice is appreciated.

07/28 …..193.2 ….. A little TMI is good for the soul and the scale too. Going out of town today to a bigger town where they have car dealerships. I checked out their website and I think I found a used car that I want. Very nice. I have bought from this very upscale dealership before. They always have the nicest inventory. My son will accompany me and I will take him to a very nice dinner. I will likely be eating more sodium that usual but I will watch my portion control. Little things go a long way. No bat last night, time will tell.......

07/29 …..xxxxx …..

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine.
Just realised that I have been in Maintenance for over 2 years.
I checked my SmartBMI reading and was advised that I was at an optimal weight.
My scale shows that I am in the normal range for Muscle/Fat %ages.
Not bad for a Septagenarian.

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

July focus:

maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:

2021 Focus:

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.

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

Day/Weight/Comments
7/23/ 171/ stuck in self isolation and trying not to snack!
7/24 / 170.6 / 4 days left in isolation, struggling for workout motivation but going to try and manage at least some yoga today.
7/25 / 169.7 / well its going in the right direction so far! I think being in my little bubble is making control easier, but, I'm now worrying that once I'm released I'll fall back into old habits, all the good work will be ruined. Will have to start my reintegration planning today so it's not a free for all when I'm out!
7/26 / 169.6 / it's not much but I'll take it!
7/27 / 169.7/ no real change for 3 days, I've been under on calories and moderately active so maybe the change is coming. Just frustrating to see at the moment. Telling my inner critic that it's part of the process and we shouldn't just give up as it's pointless.
7/28 / 170.4 / I don't know what's happening!?! I've been under calorie budget and been strict with tracking! Must be a normal fluctuation but how demotivating! At least it's my personal freedom day! I'm prepped and ready to tackle tracking in the world again 💪
7/29 / 168.6 / There it is! Finally! Maybe because I was more active!? Got a few days of eating out and trying to make healthy choices now, excited just to be social!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 157 (round 89 for me ) I continue to need this to help keep me on track!
@QuiltingJaine - thank you yet again for setting up the new challenge.

Challenge for this round is to continue yet again to work back towards maintanence – any loss will be a win! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Covid restictions have mostly been lifted in England – we have reached “freedom day”, but remember there is still a pandemic, continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in crowded indoor settings, always consider others.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

7/29 - 146.9 - Godson back from hospital and feeling better. What a fighter. Had dinner with Fam. It was late, I scarfed it down and was in bed within a half hour. Not exactly ideal, I hate eating right before bed, it makes my tummy hurt (and sometimes heartburn which I luckily avoided last night) Not quite enough water (65oz) but I'm already waking up nightly in the middle of the night to use the bathroom because of my water so I'm not quite sure how to overcome it. I'll figure something out in time. Hopefully tomorrow I can catch up on everybody's posts. I can write mine, but can't really read other's journeys.

Previous Day's Comments

7/21 - Still bouncy, that's alright. I imagine its lower water intake (65 oz) combined with my homemade enchiladas last night. BF and kids came home so I had dinner just out of the oven when they walked in and homemade brownies baking while we ate so they were fresh and warm for dessert. With all that cooking and baking, I neglected my water. Finished W1D2 of Zombies C25K and today I'll try some strength. I cancelled my 9Round subscription since I can't really squeeze it in enough with my commuting schedule to be worth the money. Will have to find something else. I'm sure YouTube has something for me to get me through.
7/22 - Finally hit my 90 oz water! Did a little strength workout yesterday. It wasn't much, but I am a bit sore today. It's a run day and I'm in my running clothes ready to go when it gets light out. I really don't want to but I know I need to. Back to work next week and I may only have 1 day I can run. Will put a damper on my training but I'm determined to run the full 5k in November.
7/23 - It'll go back up. Not enough water yesterday. Did, however, leave myself out of a Dairy Queen ice cream trip. I wanted it so bad, but I know what ice cream does to me and I forced myself to not give in. Run went well, really pushed myself hard. Last full weekend with kids before they go back to Kansas for the school year ):
7/24 - DNP
7/25 - Expected. Concert Friday night, river yesterday. While at the river, my Godson ended up going to the the hospital and then transported to the transplant hospital diagnosed with RSV. Seems as though he's doing alright considering it's only been 6 months since transplant, but staying until Wednesday for observation. Hectic weekend thus far. Battling a migraine yesterday that has lasted through to today. Hoping something will finally give in a relieve it. Not sure plans, exactly, a few ideas have been tossed around. Drinking some coffee (maybe it's caffeine withdrawal?) And back to my water.

Also, back to commuting tomorrow so, depending on my timing in the mornings, I may or may not be able to post. I'm still here! I'll be back Friday on my day off at the very least (:
7/26 - The remnents of the weekend still slowly showing up. Didn't quite get my water in, but did try to drink it where I could get it. I'd estimate about 60oz. Pizza for lunch on the go, had to get out of house since last full weekend with kids for the summer. Off to work today, hopefully I'll get some kind of activity in, even if it's just walking.
7/27 - And a whoosh back down. Quite a bit of water considering my commute. Got my Fitbit step goal (7225) and kept snacking to a minimum. Today will likely be less active but I'll figure out a way to move. Absolutely exhausted since kids were yelling and screaming while I was trying to sleep... running on 4.5hours of sleep for the second day in a row. Hopefully tonight will be better
7/28 - Dinner was salty and only just over 60oz water. Slept better, found some squishy earplugs that don't hurt to sleep with. Of course kids decided to stand outside my bedroom and scream at each other just as I went to bed so I screamed right back. At least they got quiet after that. Today I don't expect too much movement so will try to get up and walk around periodically. Things will calm down once this becomes routine, though.

Strategy: Log daily, stay at calorie goal, weights 4 days/week, walk as much as weather allows
SW: 144# 7/20

Day/Weight/Comment
7/21: 144# Good day yesterday. Able to walk outside although it was terribly muggy.
7/22: 143.5# Planning my food yesterday helped as I went out with colleagues for a send off and still came in below calories and then walked when I got home. Upper body strength training is checked off for today.
7/23: 143# The weather was great so able to get out and walk yesterday. Off to a good start but the weekend is looming - better plan ahead.
7/24: 143# Still on track with strategy despite my Friday night wine splurge. Got caught in a sudden rain storm while out walking. Keep up the good work everyone
7/25: 142.5# Very frustrating day yesterday and my attitude did not help. Lots of challenges and delays getting out for a bike ride but I did it despite my myself. I needed a whop upside the head to set me straight. Amor fati
7/26: 143# Hmm, perhaps a normal fluctuation or salty food. I was under calories, lifted weights and walked yesterday. No worries.
7/27: 143# I took a nice fall onto hands and knee on the road half way through my walk yesterday. I am officially now a Road Warrior.
7/28: 143# Hanging in there.
7/29: 142.5# Nice walk yesterday. Managing to stay in a calorie deficit but the weekend is coming up looking for ways to thwart plans. I finally bought a new (hopefully more accurate) digital scale yesterday that I’ll switch to for next round, it measures 140.6# this AM. I already like it better for obvious reasons

But it is really not the number but health that is the objective.

Female, 5ft. 6 in.
Age 57
Akron, Ohio

OSW: 186 (March 2018)
Maintenance: 140-145 (December 2018)

My 118th Round!

I've had a lot of stress with multiple medical emergencies for my family and myself over the past few weeks. I absolutely stress snacked and am now trending above maintenance. Things have calmed down a bit and my husband has 6 weeks before his post chemo check up, so I'm going to hope to stay on track and get my weight back down. I will say that without this daily accountability, I would probably be 10 lbs. heavier.

Being overweight is hard.
Maintaining a healthy weight is hard.
Choose your hard.

After losing 12 lbs. I was stuck at 174lbs. for a couple weeks until I found this challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/21 - 146.5 - I'm glad to see my weight moving down a little from the weekend. I got home from work yesterday to find that my stepdaughter had brought us a couple large apple crunch muffins. Last week I would've split one with my husband. This week I told him to eat both.
7/22 - 147 - I've been faithfully logging my food the past 3 days and have stayed within my ranges, so this is just a normal fluctuation.
7/23 - 146 - I just have to keep logging through the weekend. I know I will be eating high sodium food due to a party scheduled, so I'll have to keep drinking water.
7/24 - 146.5 - And the sodium kicked in.
7/25 - 147.5
7/26 - 148 - Ouch! Sodium, carbs, and margaritas. I had a great time at the party, but I have to take control this week.
7/27 - 148.5 - Hopefully, this is the end of the weekend bounce.
7/28 - 147.5 - Back to my round starting weight. I need to focus on steps and water the rest of the week.
7/29 - 147.5 - I was hoping to weigh lower this morning, but it's better than a gain.

7/29: 168.5 . . . . if it's not one thing, it's another around here! Last night some coyotes came by, and they stuck around in the hayfield right on the other side of the hedgerow, howling in the moonlight. My girls (what most people would refer to as "my dogs") went insane barking (from the safety of the bed) and the coyotes left. Or at least shut up. One left their calling card in the laneway (apparently they've been eating some sort of flesh and chokecherries). Will probably be getting hay today; I'll phone in an hour or so if I haven't heard from them, and try to get two loads. Beautiful day. If I'm getting hay this afternoon, I'm going for my woods walk this morning. And I'm giving an online chemistry midterm this evening and am expecting lots of questions because there's nothing more insecure than an online chemistry student just wanting to make sure of everything. And I'm ok with that. Enjoy your day!

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Female, 5’3”, 60
Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2020 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Exercise Goal for this round: Bike, planks, squats & hand weights at least once per week. Walk the dog 100 miles in July!

🎯Mini Goal: 204.x (Repeat until I hit it!)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
7/21 204.9 Walk 4.5 + 1.3 miles, bike 30 min, squats & hand weights, 1252 cal, 110 net carbs, AF. Big swoosh from yesterday which was an obvious sodium uptick. Now to keep this below 205 for the entire round!
7/22 204.3 Walk 3 + 1.3 miles, garden, 1161 cal, 49 net carbs, AF. Tried Kombucha for the first time. Kevita sparkling Lemon Cayenne. Nice change of pace!
7/23 204.6 Walk 3.3 miles, garden, 1439 cal, 77 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Today I’m meeting an old friend to walk the paths on Buffalo Bayou downtown Houston, Cisterns tour, and picnic!
7/24 204.5 Walk 2 + 3.4 + .6 miles Buffalo Bayou, 1564 cal, 101 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Wonderful active day! Closed all my rings plus overlapped the rings on the Apple Watch. 19550 steps!
7/25 205.0 Walk 3.2 + .6 miles, 1538 cal, 120 net carbs, AF. Grimaldi’s pizza … need I say more? Drinking water!
7/26 204.6 Walk 3.6 miles, bike 30 min, squats. plank & hand weights, 1649 cal, 64 net carbs, AF. Woke up too early and I was exhausted all day. Tried on every pant in my closet which was interesting. I’m pear shape size 18. I already threw out the size 20 & 22 pants. Put everything that was too small in another area to pull out when I’m 10 pounds lighter because though size 16 fits it doesn’t look great. I’m really apprehensive about this 1 hr Strong and Fit total body workout I signed up to take once per week. But I think it will be good for my bones & muscles as I age and hopefully it will help shape my legs, tummy and arms!
7/27 204.6 Walk 3.2 + .6 miles, 14200 steps, total body workout class 1 hr, 1552 cal, 103 net carbs, AF. Survived my first Strong & Fit class one-hour total body workout increases muscle strength and endurance by using light weights and high repetition. Lots of lunges, squats, planks and such with tons of arm movement. Sore this morning.
7/28 205.2 Walk 4.6 + 1.4 miles, bike 30 min, 2044 cal, 120 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Almost 500 cal in snacks during the day then changed dinner plans and went to a favorite Italian restaurant. Undid all my great efforts exercising in the morning.
7/29 205.0 Walk 2.3 miles, swim 400m, 2171 cal, 84 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. I’m really starting to feel all the muscles in my body adding the strength training Monday and then swimming Wednesday on top of my regular walking dog 100miles/month and bike 1x/wk.

Round Goal: 260
Day/Weight/Comment
7/21 - 262.4 After taking the last round off for a friend's wedding, it's time to get back into it. Have not worked out as I'm still adjusting to the time zone, but I HAVE to tonight. Last wedding got me off track for about 10 days, I can't let that happen again.
7/22 - 259.9 Honestly surprised by a drop. Maybe yesterday's weight was effected by the flights and not working out? Not sure. Ran 2 miles this morning and 1.5 last night. I really hope I can keep this below 260 and this isn't just a water weight loss!
7/23 - 259.3 Ran 2.26 miles this morning. I originally wanted 2 miles, but then I was close to 20 minutes running so I went a little longer, then I was close to 400 calories burned so I went a little longer. Actually feels good to run and kind of want to go again tonight. Also thought of how close I am to 250 and how big that number will be. It'll mark 50 lbs down, a new BMI category and just being 1/2 way to the 100s. Definitely giving me an extra push!
7/24 - 259.3
7/25 - 259.3
7/26 - 257.1 I feel like this drop always happens after the weekend. I'm not sitting at a desk all day so I get up and I have to do lawn work and all that and work out on top of that so a drop always happens for Monday. Woke up and wasn't going to work out but then figured why not get a quick run in to burn calories? Ran until I hit 300 calories burned.
7/27 - 257.3 A bit of an increase but at least I know the scales are accurate. Ran 2.25 miles with a <9 minute pace this morning, I'm going to try to do a 5k at some point just have to push myself! 3 more days in this round, hoping to see 256 point something on the scale shortly!
7/28 - 257.1 I was thinking this morning that it seems like I've been stuck at this weight forever but looking here it's only been 3 days. I guess this week has really dragged! Ran for 20 minutes, burned 412 calories. I have nothing to do tonight so may do pilates or something light. Hoping to get a little lower before the end of this round!
7/29 - 257.1 Just one of those weeks where your weight is stuck, I guess! It just makes me push harder, so no worries. Ran 2.33 miles in 20 minutes this morning so my pace is coming up and burned 446 calories. Definitely expecting a weight decrease over the weekend... hopefully!

OK, I am back from my trip and back on the wagon. Had a wonderful week in Frisco, Colorado. Hiking, biking, and fly fishing. Only got to fish one day before I hit the deck hard during a pickle ball game. Tripped on my own two feet and managed a three-point landing on my head, knee, and shoulder. Shoulder was too sore to fish after that.

May 10, 2021 - 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)

Round 157 Goals: 80oz water; row 30 mins, most days; free-weights; eat vegetables/fruit; IF most days; no sugar; Calorie/Carb cycle between 1000 to 1900 calories each day with an average between 1200 - 1500.

SW: 170.0

I WILL hit the 160's this round!
170.2....170.1....170.0....169.9

7/21 - 170.2
7/22 - DNW
7/23 - 170.1
7/24 - 170.0
7/25 - 169.8
7/26 - 169.9
7/27 - 169.8
7/28 - 169.7 - IF 18 hrs - my next short-term goal is 162 lbs. You know how different weights are stuck in your head from different times in your life - whether up or down. 162 is the next weight that's stuck in my head. I worked really hard to get all my weight off before going 'home' to Atlanta for my nephew's wedding about 8 years ago. As always, my expectations for the amount of weight I could lose in 2 months were way off (and as it got closer and time was running out, I ate more). I worked from home so I did not have a dress that fit so had to buy a new one. I remember saying after the wedding that I would go back home and work hard to get it all off. Instead, the pressure of trying to lose it so fast, and as I always do after traveling, I ate for days, which led to weeks, which led to months, which led to me hitting the 180's again. I've fluctuated between the 170's and 180's since then but have never hit 162 again. So here goes...I WiLL do it this time!!

7/29 - 169.6

SW: 261 (6/3/21) 
CW: 245.4 (7/20/21)
 UGW: 175
End of 10 day challenge goal: 243.5

Drink a minimum of 64 oz water a day 
Swim, Circuit, Hike (5x week minimum)  
Previous Challenge 156: 245.4 (-1.8)

7/21 - 245.8 (+.4) I’m actually up from yesterday, which is a surprise. I struggled eating enough because of my schedule. I’m really tired today and need to plan my meals so I get enough calories. Who would have guessed I’d have days when I didn’t eat enough? I worked out at Orange Theory Fitness so had additional calories I needed to eat to make up for the intense exercise.
7/22 - 245 (-.4) Yay! A little at a time. Today is my swim day. I love going to the pool.
7/23 - 244.8 (-.6) Darn! I was hoping for a bigger loss. Oh well, still on the way down. Swimming was wonderful yesterday. Today’s Orange Theory Fitness. I bought an Apple Watch and am curious to see how it syncs with MFP. The Olympics start today and I’m always so inspired by the athletes.
7/24 - 244 (-1.4) Now that feels good. Today is my weekly indulgence meal so the scale will be up in the next two days and then I hope to see it drop back down. I try to schedule the indulgence meal when I’m meeting a friend so it’s a double treat. I did close all my Apple rings yesterday on my brand new watch. I can see how this is motivational.
7/25 - 246 (+.6) I enjoyed every minute of my indulgence meal yesterday. Well worth waiting for. Today I’m hiking with my sister, which is always fun and beautiful. Probably my favorite exercise.
7/26 - 244.8 (-.6) Yesterday’s hike was 5 miles. It was beautiful and the weather was nice. That’s the longest hike this year. I’m definitely getting stronger and my endurance is improving. I can’t wait until next year’s hikes after I lose another 50+ pounds.

7/27 - 245.2 (-.2) Worked out at Orange Theory Fitness yesterday and had a busy day overall. I ate up to my total calorie level including exercise. I think I was kind of distracted while I was preparing and logging my foods for the first time. I need to make sure I’m logging accurately. Hoping for a better result tomorrow.
7/28 - 244.4 (-1.0) Bouncing a bit back and forth, but heading back down. Yesterday I swam at the pool. I try to get in around 50 minutes and am not taking as many breaks. It always feels good.
7/29 - 242.2 (-3.2) Wow! Yesterday was a low exercise day with just a half hour swim lesson. I did manage the exercise circles on my watch. I’ve been feeling a bit stuck but tried to refocus on the accuracy of my logging. I’m really relieved. Happy dance!!

Ah, there’s Thursday’s lunch. Yesterday was better but not where I want to be.

That’s better. It’s hot hot hot today, but not bad right now in the shade. Have a lovely Sunday. Here are some flowers for you from my garden.

7/26 - 187.8 - 1149
Doing better with calories and control. Today is DH’s birthday so special dinner, but I have a plan to control the day’s total. I want to maintain this trend!

7/27 - 188.8 - 2022
Ok, the control plan tanked. The food I ordered for lunch had WAY more calories than I realized until after I ate it. I actually ate half, and am passing the other half to DH today while I get back on plan. Some of the uptick is salt, so all good.

7/28 - 188.6 - 1246
Sitting on my patio watching a male bluebird guard his nest box. Life is good.
