This may be the first weekend where I weighed less on Monday than I did on Friday. I was so busy working on and in my boat (the Kraken) that I didn’t have much time to eat. That’s one way to do it.

8/3: 208.6
I will take this.

8/4: 206.6
Getting close to my maintenance range goal with numbers like this. But I know this is just the low end of my usual yoyo. Steady plodding ahead. (and lunch out with friends today….)

Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this challenge going!

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 158 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.

Next short-term goal: 162.X
169....168....167....166....165....164....163....162.X

SW: 169.2

7/31: 169.2 - Rowed and walked. Stayed within calorie range. 64oz water, and lots of vegetables and fruit. Good start!
8/01: 169.1
8/02: 169.6 I might see a higher weight for a few days. I think it would have been higher if I hadn't weighed so late today. I blew past even my normal high-calorie days that are planned. I mean way past - salt, carbs, sugar, drinks! However, it's just one day. It will not become two! I need water, water and more water.
8/03: 169.5
8/04: 169.3 My weight is nothing to get excited about today but I am excited that I did not let my one day binge go into 2 or 3 days! Yay!

8/04 - 146.6 - Not sure..normal uptick? I drank my 90oz water. Ate fairly healthy (a bit of brownie I couldn't even finish for dessert since they were going bad...man I miss having the kiddos around). Oh well. Finished my run today, definitely improved. My 1st km was 2 seconds slower (10 min warmup walk, likely) but my 2nd and 3rd km (where my 30sec sprints and 10min free form run are) were faster. And I ran the full 10 minute free form! First time doing that. I was dying, but I had my podcast in and just tried to focus on belly breathing, tucking my hips under (yay for no back pain after researching that!) and the story in the podcast. Still have until Nov 20th to build up and I'm making better progress than I thought I would. Good thing, too, since I'll be commuting some weeks and unable to run.

Previous Day's Comments

CSW: 299 lbs (07/30/21)

Been working on my weight-loss eating plan.( Low carb Mediterranean) Little bit of meat, a little dairy, Eggs in moderation twice a week, and no more than 2 eggs at one time.. Lots of veggies, and some fruit (mostly berries).
I have found that this eating plan works best for keeping my blood glucose in check.

I'm a type 2 diabetic. My A1C last time it was tested was a (10.9) which is dangerously high. My goal is to get it down to 7'' range and then into the 5'
(10.9 - my blood glucose testing daily was in the high 300's to mid 400' rang.
My daily testing is now beginning to lower to the 200" and 100" rang. Once I reached a 91. Would love for my reading to be between the 80's and 90's on a daily basis. I believe if I keep my diet clean and low carb, and continue to work on my weight-loss, with exercise, I'll reach this goal.

This way of eating is not for everyone, we are all different and have to find out what works best for ourselves.

I have learned to check my sugar before eating and 1 & 2 hours after eating to find what food raises my blood glucose level. Foods that raise it high, I don't eat no more. I've tried a lot of diets out there and found this works best for me. I have slowly been getting rid of overly processed food, and trying to eat as clean and whole foods as I can.

My goal is to incorporate some exercise into my daily routine, once I'm able to do and build from there as I'm physically able to.
I believe the few ounces I've gained are nothing to worry about, my body is adjusting to the new way of eating and well start showing weight loss soon. Just have to be patient.


Day/Weight/Comment:

7/31: 294.2 lbs ⬇️ (4.8 lbs) Since the restart of my weight-loss journey, two days ago, most of what I've lost will be water. Just hope weight will be less on last day of this round and not more.🙂

8/1: 294.6 ⬆️ ( 4 oz)

8/2: 295 ⬆️ (4 oz) Still heading in the wrong direction. 😓 Retaining a lot of water, 💧 Hopefully, this will reverse soon and start going in the right direction.

8/3: 295.2 ⬆️ (4 oz)

8/4: 293.8 ⬇️ (-1.4 lbs) Finally a loss. 🪅 Since theirs still 5 days left in the challenge maybe I'll have a good loss for my first round. 😄 Thinking Positive!!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/30 …..194.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/31 …..192.4 ….. Goodbye water retention! A nice whoosh after being up shedding water all night. I got 6 hours and 10 minutes of sleep which is AMAZING for me so even that didn't interfere with wonderful sleep! Yesterday I was just under allotted calories (I don’t eat back exercise). I didn’t get very much movement in and my water intake was low again. A so-so day but the scale rewarded me for my efforts at home (even though my travel habits are still yet to be desired). Welcome to all the newbies. You will love it here! Thanks Jaine for another round!

08/01 …..191.4 ….. Didn’t have much time to eat yesterday and dinner was very late (within 1 hour of bed). No water here since yesterday morning due to well problems. Seal was fixed (???) but no one can get the pump primed. Perhaps the check gauge went out when it was turned off? IDK but this is horrible!

08/02 …..189.6 ….. Wow! I did not expect that even though yesterday was a good day plan-wise. However, no water since Saturday morning due to the well pump problems. I contacted a local plumber who is not sure if he can come today or tomorrow. Ugg. Anyway, I am being sparse on all water usage to save for toilet so I am probably a bit dehydrated. I don’t know that this weight will stick. I am never confident in a new weight bracket until I hit a certain number within it. If I get to 187 point anything, I will feel it is real. Had some peanut butter last night to up my protein. OMGosh. I’ve been counting carbs so long I didn’t realize how many calories were in there! That put me at the top of my calorie allowance and I couldn’t have a snack later. I don’t think I will do that again anytime soon!

08/03 …..190.4 ….. Gorgeous beautiful clean water flowing from my well again. This uptick is from some massive rehydrating and that cheese pizza last night (both at the same time!). I threw away the crust and kept my calories at 1275 with 503 in the green. So this is likely the water weight and I am hopeful that I can actually dip back into the 180’s soon! When I picked the pizza up from the convenience store (pizza shop was closed), I carried around a bag of little Debbie donuts for dessert (which I put back and didn’t buy). I also put the icecream back into the freezer. And that cheese Danish went right back on the shelf after I carried it around for 5 minutes waiting on the pizza. I held each item close to my heart and longed for them individually or together. But I decided not to self-sabotage and I am so glad I was strong enough. I kept the pizza at 700 calories and made up for it later to stay within goal. That is my NSV and I’m pretty darn proud of it!

08/04 …..191.6 ….. I ended up going out of town yesterday to do some shopping for DGD 1st birthday coming up. Also some building supplies for drywall project. Got my son out of the house and had a nice but high calorie dinner. Today I woke up tired and unrefreshed. However, I will try to get in more movement, drink more water and watch my diet more carefully. It may take a few days but this will come back down.

8/02--211.8 Definite water weight. We had our friends' kids over for the weekend and everything was out of routine such that I even forgot to weigh in yesterday morning, which hasn't happened in months, but we had a great time with the kids. Plan for today is to get back on track with eating, weighing, and water.
8/03--210.9 There goes some of the water weight. Going to keep up with the water today.
8/04--210.3 More water weight, back at starting weight for the round. I took a long break from work today and took dog out for a long walk.

7/31: 194 - planning to walk to/from the movie theater today and to get in an upper body strength workout

8/1: 194.8 - Leg day was on Friday. I was hoping I’d skate by on soreness because yesterday wasn’t bad, but I’m feeling it today! I’ve done a good job on calories for the last few days, so I’m not at all worried about the weight gain. I’ve read that’s normal when starting strength training.

8/2: 194 - Yesterday’s strength work focused on my core. My whole body is sore today, but my legs less so than yesterday, which is great. I also rode my indoor bike yesterday. Managed to stay within my calorie range yet again.

8/3: 194.2 - Rest day yesterday. Felt good to do nothing much while my body recovered. Today was a lot more busy on the exercise front, but I also ate a bit more than I meant to. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day.
