@tiabirdie56 That zucchini would have made an excellent lower carb pasta substitute. My husband even likes it!
@fmfdfa2020 Beware of the watermelon! So much sugar and so many insulin spikes and plunges.2 -

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
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.

⭐️⭐️8/9 115.5 Great Greek for lunch yesterday with DD#2 and DSIL. (3rd Sunday in a row!😁♥️) This was an interesting week food wise. I ate several products with refined flour and they have not caused an increase in my weight but my knees are hurting again like they did 4 years ago.
Rnd 159 SW 115.5
8/10 116.5 ⭐️⭐️And there is the anticipated bounce! DGD#1 and BF came last night after leisurely trip with sightseeing from Oklahoma via Phoenix. They’re spending most of the day so they can see our DD#2, her aunt who works until 3:30 teaching. Then on to LA to his family.
8/11 116.0 1/2 Omelet House green chili omelet for brunch. DGD and BF stayed again last night because they would have been so late arriving in LA. Went “B Dubs” for dinner with DD, DSIL, and 2 youngest DGDs. I ate half of a chef’s salad.
8/12 116.0 DGD & BF left for LA around 1:30 yesterday afternoon. It was so nice to see her and meet him. We are so appreciative of them changing their route to come to LV before LA. We were concerned about the # of people and places they might expose us to inadvertently.
8/13 115.0. Shopping at Walmart and Sam’s - over 9K steps!

8/11 210.6 Wow, yesterday afternoon I swam, did water aerobics, hit the jacuzzi, and sauna. I came out of the Y famished, and ate everything in sight! I had brought healthy snacks, but the Y staff had set out lovey treats for us. I indulged. Hopefully some of that weight is muscle mass. Otherwise I'm going to have to rethink what to eat post exercise. Yea, I know, my weight is supposed to be going down, not up. Although I've noticed that there's a range around which I tend to weight-up or down a couple of pounds

8/14 - 147.1 - Sodium (tried a German restaurant in town. THE BEST. Hadn't had it before), not quite enough water (about 70oz) and no TMI. Tad bit bloated, but seems to be getting better as day goes on. Finally got my hair cut today. Haven't had a trim in almost 2 years now! It desperately needed it. Trying to grow it now (it's to my belt) but the dead ends were going up the strands. Had to take about 2 inches off to get all the dead ends before they kept breaking off the rest of my hair! Feels so much more healthy now, though. No more straw-like ends, yippee! Was also told my hair is suuuper healthy for as long as it is which made me feel better. I do try to take care of it as best I can and keep it healthy. Healthier = longer to me. Glad I could get in before she had to cut more off to save the rest. The kitty I rescued (with my parents) passed today. It's been pretty rough since I haven't been able to see her for almost 3 years. Between transitioning out of the army and COVID, she didn't really know me. Probably won't fully hit me until I go home next and she's not there.

Previous Day's Comments8/10 - A little drop off. Still look slightly bloated, but much much better than yesterday. Slow on TMI these past few days, guessing to do with bloating, so hopefully once things get going along, weight will go with it. Water wasn't ideal, estimating 60oz. Went on a run but had a few stops along the way. The pup got to meet the neighbor pup and I got to finally officially meet my backyard neighbor (rather than waving across the yard). Said hello to the sweet old man at the end of the street as well. Truly enjoy chatting with him. Pup couldn't keep up on the last 8min free run so I dropped her off during the 2 minute break between free runs and finished the last by myself. Walked the last 2 minutes (ran 6 mins) of that but it warmed up real quick once sun came up and I was struggling with the heat. Maybe I need to suck it up and run earlier when it's still a tad darker (still very visible, just early dawn).
8/11 - Shocking as I didn't track my water. Decent amount, but not quite goal. Also shocking, TOM hasn't started yet and I can still see some visible bloat from it. Maybe more will drop off when that happens?! Not getting hopes up too high since this is such a huge drop, but hey, it's possible. TMI finally back to normal (of course, after weigh in....) but at least my body is back to chugging along. Speaking of chugging along, did another run today. Whew, I didn't want to. Told myself I have a choice: run today and choose either tomorrow or Friday (my day off to sleep in) to get at least 1 more run in or DON'T run today and HAVE to run on my day off (meaning getting up early enough to beat the worst of the heat). Yep, I ran today. Managed to go slightly earlier so didn't get the sun until the last 8 min free form run. Managed the full run since I didn't get too hot until the very end (last 2 minutes I could push through). 90% humidity is NO JOKE! Next run will be challenging. 15 min run at the end! Eeek. 8 minutes was bad enough. But a lot more walking at the beginning so hopefully I'll have good enough timing to drop pup off between the intervals and the free runs. Should also give pup a good walk in before I drop her off to do the free run. Two birds, one stone!
8/12 - Typical bounciness, not worried. Still no TOM. Found out today that starting Week 4 of Zombies, Run! you have to pay! Ick. I may just do it, I haven't decided yet. I do want to know how the story goes, though. It's $5.99/mo and I signed up for a 5k on Oct 30th now (virtual as a benchmark for the in-person on Nov 20th). It's only 8 weeks and I've completed 3 so far so I will only need it for maybe 2 months (depending on how work commute goes -- so far I'm staying home for a couple weeks and can run). I did run 1.5 miles continuous today instead. Figured that's half of what I need to run so it doesn't hurt to see where I'm at. Plus, before I started training, I struggled so hard to run just 1 mile. Showing improvement already! Side note: there is a Guiness World Record attempt on Sept 19th for a 10k. I know I can't run the entire thing, but I can run a good chunk of it, I think. Especially with a little over a month left to train. I signed up because if this ends up being a world record, I can say I am a part of Guinness World Records. How cool!
8/13 - TOM is here, finally, and some relief from bloating. Heavy dinner last night, though, which offset some of the bloating relief. Ran 2 miles this morning and did a super hilly road with Fam. We all needed each other to go so we could motivate ourselves to get out of bed. Once we started running, we all separated. Wowza that sucked, but I pushed through! First time running 2 miles straight since I was in the army. Trying to get prepared for the 10k to run as much as I can. Don't think I'll go from 2 to 6 miles in a month, but it'll also help me with 5k training, too. Plus, if I keep running hills like that, I think the mostly flat surface for my races will be that much easier! Goal: complete the 10k whether I walk or run. Run my 5k in October (in full) and beat my October 5k time (and hopefully become my PR) come November for the in-person race! Drank a little over 90oz but I was super thirsty last night. Think I need to up water more on days I run. Can't tell if I'm truly sweating a ton or if it's the humidity (90% plus every day)

@deepwoodslady, My goodness. I am so sorry that your well is giving you problems. We lived on a well for 25 years with only one break in the well line. That was miserable living for about a week.
@quiltingjaine, I'm not a pasta fan, although I do eat zucchini. You're right though it would have been an excellent low carb pasta substitute and it would have been a TON of it. My DH took something to the grandkids and came home with the zucchini. Um, a surprise I really didn't want to see. DIL wanted me to make bread for HER. I made her 6 loaves, 2 loaves for my niece. I made 2 loaves for DH & DS. One went in the freezer. They have weight to lose. The other sliced into servings and divided, that way no one can overeat and tell me they didn't. I don't know why they think I don't know their habits. Its funny except when its not. I ate a slice. It was good, but that is not what I want.9 -

@quiltingjaine Thank you for sharing the article about snacking. Hopefully a couple things in it will stick in my brain. Will try to sneak in some movement before I reach for a snack. My ideas are: a couple stretches, squats, jumping jacks, a few kicks, a few punches, march in place, drink of water. Things I can do in my office at work. Maybe even some back exercises.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/10 159.8 I can & will do better! Yesterday was not a terrible food day, but wasn’t good either. Could have been worse, so did have some restraint on myself.
8/11 159.8 did better but will see tomorrow morning. And tomorrow is another day. Lol.
8/12 159.2 again, did much better than I have been, but not really enuff yet—I don’t think. I did remember the article that @quiltingjaine posted the link to re: snacking while I was at work. I did add a few more sips of water before reaching for snack candy. Also, did not have any snacks at all at home last night. None. But didn’t measure my amount of 1% milk & the Hershey’s chocolate syrup that I drank with my dinner last night. Chocolate milk was scheduled but only a certain amount. I got lazy. What an idiot! Lol so we’ll see what happens when I weigh in the morning. Lol
8/13 159 I guess not bad after yesterday. And forgot to mention that my sweet dog had a big seizure that I woke me yesterday morning. She’s still recovering from it. Needs assistance standing when not on carpet. Poor baby. Her condition improved as the day went on yesterday. But for a few hours afterwards she was very disoriented & bumping into walls & things. And my Mom had a slow motion fall yesterday even with a caregiver. New caregiver wasn’t trained or updated on her condition (poor mgmt & training/communications at the ALF) & wasn’t prepared. Supposed to have supplies ready before getting residents up & don’t leave a resident alone on toilet when they have dementia & can’t walk. So a very stressful day yesterday. Plus extra stressful events at work yesterday. All in all, I did pretty darn good! Lol
8/14 159 did ok yesterday.

R159: Time to make some progress and strive for <200 in August! Quit this yo-yo cycle. Lots of event challenges this round that include food & wine! Wedding shower, 2x book clubs, ZTA alumnae kickoff.
🎯Mini Goal: <202 (Repeat until I hit it!)
Exercise Goal for this round: Bike, swim, and strength class once per week. Walk the dog 100 miles in August!
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
8/10 202.4 Walked 3.1 + .6 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1678 cal, 91 net carbs, AF.
8/11 202.2 Walked 3 miles, Bike 30 min, 1415 cal, 83 net carbs, AF. Started planning a road trip for October up to TN & NC! Ordered a couple of new pairs of shorts and a swim suit since both are falling off me … which doesn’t work well when going to the strength training class or swimming laps.
8/12 202.1 Walked 3.4 + 1.3 miles, 1588 cal, 137 net carbs, AF. More planning for our trip this fall as well as making plans to remodel & repair our home.
8/13 202.0 Walked 3 + 1.3 miles, 1537 cal, 107 net carbs, AF. Switched up my daily nutrition goals and target calories. We’ll see how this plays out over the next week. My new bathing suit from Lands End came in yesterday! The size 16 fit! Yeah! I can get rid of my 1x & 2x bathing suits and swim laps today without flashing anyone. 🏊♀️
8/14 201.6 Walked 3.3 + .7 miles, swam laps 400m 20 min, treaded water 7 min, 1543 cal, 85 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
8/15 202.0 Walked 3.2 miles with my DD & her dogs, 1808 cal, 100 net carbs, 1 glass wine. In the red calorie wise so not surprised by the uptick on the scale. Wedding shower which included cake then my kids came over for dinner. Definitely what I would call a food day though I spent most of the time talking to friends and family.

8/10 - 240.4 (+.4) I usually try to eat before 6pm, but yesterday was a really busy day so I didn’t eat until after 8pm. That usually impacts my weight the next day. Looking forward to swimming in a few hours. My sister and I take weekly progress pictures. It was really inspiring to see the changes in the last 3 weeks.
8/11 - 239 (-1.0) Yay! Into the 230’s for the first time in several years. Yesterday’s swim was wonderful I’m recovering faster after each lap and able to keep moving the full hour. I swam 825 meters which is the most so far. Still a bit awkward with my strokes, but getting better.
8/12 - 238.4 (-1.6) Another nice drop. In the last two weeks, after my weight loss slowed, I lowered my daily calorie goals and that’s seemed to have an effect. My goal is 2 pounds a week so if it goes over that, I’ll bump the calories up until it balances out. I’m back to the pool today in between painting sessions.
8/13 - 237.0 (-3.0) Wow! I had a good swim yesterday. My endurance is getting better and I’m not using the kick board as much. I ate back less than half my exercise calories. I probably need to eat back a few more. Today is my indulgence meal, so I’ll gain back a little over the next two-three days.
8/14 - 237.6 (-2.4) A little bump up from my indulgence meal. I may have another bump up tomorrow. I did my workout at Orange Theory Fitness For some reason I was really tired yesterday. I haven’t felt that way for weeks, but after a nap, and a good night’s sleep, I’m back on track.
8/15 - 237.6 (-2.4) Yesterday was my rest day as far as exercise goes. Today is another hike with my sister. It should be a beautiful day!9 -

8/11: 296.8 ⬆️ (+ 2.6 lbs) 🤬 Wasn't going to post this, then I thought, I need to be accountable for my actions. This is my fault, I overeat yesterday on unhealthy foods. It's seems easier to put the weight on, then to take it off. . Temptation is hard to over come. I need to learn to overcome temptations when it comes to food.
(Need to remember a moment of pleasure through the lips and into the mouth, is a lifetime on the hips.) 😡

Haven't really been exercising, plan to start today. Need to find an exercise routine that works best for me. 😄

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!)
I'm going to track my goals this round:
Water: 328 (Goal: 640oz)
Row 30 mins, Free-Weights, Walk: 3 (Goal: 8 activities)
Vegetables/Fruit: 31 (Goal: 50 servings)
Intermittent Fasting: 5 (Goal: 7 days)
No Sugar: 6 (Goal: 10 days)
Next short-term goal: 162.X
169....168....167....166....165....164....163....162.X
SW: 169.2
8/10: 168.4 - IF 18.5 hrs, 80oz water. Rowed 30 min. The garden is really starting to produce now so it's that time of the year where every meal has vegetables out of the garden. Today I made zucchini noodles which I had never made or eaten. I didn't have anything to spiral them with so I just used a peeler. They were more like egg noodles than spaghetti. I was surprised how good they were. I like zucchini but cooking them this way really did make you feel like you were eating noodles.
8/11: 168.5 - IF 17 hrs, 64oz water.
8/12: 168.2 - IF 17 hrs. Not enough water, or vegetables yesterday. Replaced them with too many carbs/salt. We'll see if it catches up with me tomorrow on the scale, but, either way, today I'm back on track. I want to continue on this healthy track because I am feeling so much better!
8/13: 168.3 - IF 18 hrs. 44oz water. Rowed and Free-weights.
8/14: DNW - IF? I forgot to log when I quit eating yesterday and can't remember the time.
I usually stop by 5pm but had watermelon sitting on my counter and ate some every time I passed by it last night. This is also the reason I decided not to weigh this morning.
8/15: 168.1 - IF 16. 80oz water. Lots of vegetables.
@quiltingjaine - Thank you for the reminder about watermelon. When I stop sugar and refined flour products, I tend to overdo sweet fruit like watermelon. I was more mindful of it yesterday. It's a beautiful Sunday morning with the humidity dropping. I'm going to ride over to the ocean this morning - should be beautiful with the clear blue skies.

I was really hungry around 9 last night, held out until 10, then ate a piece of Dave’s Good Seed thin with a T of peanuts-only peanut butter. So calories a bit higher than planned, but not stupid high. I’m going to try for a walk right now, but we’re under a heat advisory with very high humidity and it’s already hot and muggy out, so I don’t know that I’ll get far. Maybe I’ll go hike around Menard’s. 🏃🏻♀️🪛🏃🏽♀️🔨🏃🏽♀️

Lots of rain and wind last night and another heat advisory today. Must be August!

Lots of rain and heat here. I’m catching up with my reading!
8/13 - 188.4 (188.4) - 1523
Love it when daily and average weights merge, though I’d like them lower! But my average is going down, so all good! It’s finally cooled off today so I’m going for a walk and the looking for a new viburnum for my garden. Have a great Friday!
8/14 - 187.8 (188.2) - 1558
I’m surprised because we had Thai carry out yesterday. I did stick to vegetable stir fry, but still. Not gonna argue! The heat and humidity have subsided finally, and I have a garden day planned — new viburnums, hydrangeas, and a few others to plants, plus a lot of happy weeds to yank. Happy Saturday, all!
8/15 - 188.2 (188.2) - 1362
It’s a perfect summer day here — I hope you have the same. Yesterday I did a lot of planting. Today, deadheading and weeding! And a walk later. Perfection.
