Day/Weight/Comment
08/09 …..189.6….. (trend 192.3) ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/10 …..189.6 ….. (trend 192.0) Exactly the same as yesterday. Hanging on to those 180’s . I really noticed that my early summer clothes are now very baggy and beginning to fall of me. And I’m starting to notice those bones I forgot I had. Many who have lost a fair amount of weight before knows exactly what I mean. It’s the NSV I’ve been waiting for. I’m hoping for more water and more movement today.
08/11 …..189.6 ….. (trend 191.8) Third day in a row at the same actual weight but still trending down. Lots of movement on the downward trend due to recent weight losses. Tomorrow is a very long travel day. A friend will be going with me. There will likely be indulgences but nothing I can’t handle when I get home. I’m feeling strong and capable still.
08/12 …..190.0 ….. (trend 191.6)
Late Dinner, early weigh-in. 3 hours of sleep. Travel today to the cancer center for my annual mamm and check-up. I expect more uprise from the scale tomorrow but it will be temporary.
08/13 …..193.2 ….. (trend 191.7) I obviously did not practice any restraint whatsoever at the golden corral during my medical traveling yesterday. I am on top of it today! News a little worse than I expected. I need a liver scan due to multiple lesions that showed up in the corner of my last lung CT scan in 2020. Due to covid there has been delays (some on my part) on everything medical. They have also ordered a CT scan for my lungs again. The last scan showed a nodule had grown from 1.7 to 2.3 cm. That does not mean cancer from breast has metastasized yet. It could be a benign growth because they considered that a small change in a 6 month period. I Missed 2 scans 6 months apart for rechecks so I will have to go have it checked soon. Making the appointments today on the phone. My breast mamm was good but my manual breast check with the oncologist showed a small growth in the skin (not in the breast tissue itself) very near the surgical sight. She said it did not look good. She had a general surgeon look at it who didn’t like it either. They had a plastic surgeon come in and check who didn’t like it either. They found a dermatologist who hadn’t left for home yet who didn’t like it. She asked to do an emergency biopsy which I agreed to. I was moved to a procedure room, numbed and the entire thing was fully removed. If it is cancerous it will not be skin cancer but, rather, breast cancer metastasized. No cure but can be treated (whatever that means). I have 2 stitches which I can have family take out later to avoid another long trip back. I am still waiting to hear the results. I have 2 other smaller bumps that looks just like it that they didn’t touch. If the big one they removed is okay, they should be okay too according to the doctor. Hoping for the best!
08/14 …..189.6 ….. (trend weight 191.5) So, my well went out again while I was standing naked to get into the shower Thur morning as I was getting ready for my road trip to the University Hospital. I had to go to neighbors for a shower again just to prep for the cancer appointment. The well man worked all day Friday and when he finally got the brand new well pump on, it seized up and so I still have no water since basically last Wed night. He is here now trying again but I can hear him cursing as he comes back & forth up the basement steps. Pray pray pray! Weight back down today. Not much planned exercise yesterday, moderate water, but I did get almost 5 hours of sleep last night (that’s good for me). I also did a lot of walking back & forth to neighbors for potty putting my steps at 14,000+. All my workers are sharing an unflushable toilet in my house as the other bathroom is getting remodeled. Not me! Well man is still slamming doors out to attached garage as we speak. Please God, give me and everyone else on earth clean flowing water. Our world has never been more divided than right now between Essential and Non-Essential. This is Essential!
08/15 …..187.6 ….. (trend weight 191.1) Still no water. I will have to wait until Monday. Repair man thinking the screen in the tip may be clogged which requires big machine to get down into the ground. He will call a well company on Monday to get advice/their take on what needs to be done. Happy that weight is still moving down. I watched my diet carefully again yesterday and added as much movement as possible in light of all the workers here. I got in over 14,000 steps again just walking back & forth to the neighbors to use their bathroom.
08/16 …..187.2 ….. (trend weight 190.7) A lower cal day yesterday and 11,000+ steps to the neighbors again so I am not surprised to see a bit of a drop. Hoping and praying that well man gets some answers and there will be a fix in store very soon. In this rural area, well companies are not nearby, but there are 1 or two in surrounding counties, over an hour away. Hoping the fix will not be too expensive as I’ve already spent so much already. Hoping anyone that can help has an opening on their schedule VERY SOON!
08/17 …..187.8 ….. (trend weight 190.4) Well….I guess I am happy that trend weight is down. Scale weight up but truthfully, I am estatic that it isn’t higher. I made a bad and unplanned choice during the late afternoon and then tried to skip dinner to make up for it. It ended up being a binge for food by 11:00 pm. Bad mistakes all around. I won’t do that again. After eating over calories, I always feel STARVING the next day as my body wants me to overdo the calories again. So strange how that works. I am ignoring the requests and eating to plan today. I am carefully planning all meals and not getting sidetracked by the flurry of activity at my house right now. BTW…..No water still……no response from well company yet. I may have to take some dirty dishes and some laundry to the neighbors today. This is a new house to me and I don't even know them that well. Sad today.....all hugs welcome! Prayers requested.
08/18 …..187.4 ….. (trend weight 190.1)
Stuck to plan yesterday although most of my time and my movement was limited. The well company I called does not have enough help and are too backed up to make the trip and help. So disappointed! I found another company who said they were willing to come on Thursday. Hoping for best! 3 hair appointments today – DGS #1, DGS #2 and my son Johnny. Then the handyman will be over to work on a long sidewalk framing I am having poured soon to give me a sidewalk up the hill to my house so I can get up and down in the winters for mail or to take out trash. I found out last winter that the driveway is impossible to walk on (crushed stone). A flurry of activity again today expected. Drywall finisher will also be here to mud and sand this evening after he is done from another job. I took a hard fall yesterday in my yard and my knee is black and blue. Lots of pain but no break. I won’t be able to walk the hills of my yard and neighborhood much. I’ll do what I can to stay active.

8/18 - 146.6 - No hugs. It's dairy. Made a thought-out decision to enjoy some ice cream with BF last night. Took my lactose pills but between the cheese in dinner and the ice cream, it was a tad too much. Quite alright, feeling better this morning, just remnants of bloating. Planning my breakfast and lunch meals for next week. I have to drive in at LEAST Mon-Wed, possibly Thurs depending on what data I can collect Monday and if it's enough for analysis at home Thurs. Just ordered a Bento box since I used to have one and LOVED it. I think it broke during my move to Texas and was tossed. Not 100% sure, but it is NOT in this house. Definitely helps with portioning and the various compartments make me think about my sides (veggies and fruit for "dessert") while keeping my "main meal" within check. Going to do a sauteed kielbasa and red pepper with veggies/hummus and strawberries. Should get me through 2 days. Thinking a chicken&veggie wrap or pinwheel with carrots/hummus (if there's leftover) and strawberries (if leftover) for Wed/Thurs. Breakfast will be ham/egg/cheese/spinach muffin all 4 days.
8/19
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)
8/14 - 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.
8/15 - DNP
8/16 - No hugs needed. Was out working land yesterday so couldn't post. Also think I'm retaining water from a very strenuous day. Also heavy dinner of steak followed by Tres Leche cake. FamHub's mom's birthday was Saturday. We went out to eat but couldn't bring a cake so we had it last night. I had never had that type of cake so I had to try a bit. I imagine the lactose in that isn't helping matters. Didn't eat a full slice, just a few bites to try something new. Ended up tweaking my ankle yesterday and my brace hasn't been located yet so only walked this morning rather than running. I'll have to look when BF gets up so I don't disturb him. Working on water. Drank a ton yesterday but with the amount of sweating, there was no way to keep up. Aiming for veggie-focused lunch today. Unsure about dinner.
8/17 - Whew, I was wondering if this would take a few days to come off. Drank 90 oz. Veggie scrambled egg burrito for breakfast (tried a new white bell pepper from my garden! "Blond Bell" is what it's called), last of my grapes for lunch (was on meetings and not super hungry), then chicken and rice for dinner. Found my brace so going to try an easy run today. Not going to push it too much, just enough that I don't lose the progress I made, hopefully. Will see how the ankle feels.

The upward climb started with seeing friends that we haven't seen in almost 2 years, so although I don't like it, I'm not real upset about it, because it was great to see them. Also "food in transit" going slow, lol. Haven't been great with water either, so trying to push more of it. Hope I can at least get back to my round start weight by the end.
We going to get back on track and make Round 160 awesome!

8/13-- 208.2-- expected this as I've been doing quite a bit of nibbling the last couple of days out of worriation. My fur baby had a procedure done Wednesday and watching her that evening constantly pacing around like a zombie, not knowing if she was in pain and not being able to give her pain meds because her stomach was empty (she has to eat before any meds--sensitive stomach) was just too much. It was 2 a.m. before she started coming around and wanted something to eat. I could finally give her some meds and she was ready to go out at 3 in the morning to do her business. I weaned it yesterday with 4 and a half hours of sleep and any sugar that I could find in the house. She's eating well and moving around, just a little slower so, I'm not worrying as much now and the nibbling will be handled.
8/14-- 208.8
8/15-- 209.6
8/16-- 211.2- I have completely dereailed!!! I honestly did not want to post this, BUT I have to be accountable. Don't need hugs because this was self inflicted -- I have eaten anything I've wanted since Wednesday. I even went to the store and bought home candy!!!! And exercise, it's been out the door. I had no idea that my quote for this round would be advice to my ownself. I will surely have a gain at the end of this round.
8/17-- 211.0- Sooo, my dog was doing pretty good this morning and I decided to run to the store and get her some treats and drop something off at the post office. I came home and she had tore up a few of my new meal prep containers that my son sat on a barstool and pooped on my floor. She has NEVER messed with anything I have sitting around-- she won't even play with toys. I'm just wondering if it's the prednisone they put her on. Going to call the vet in the morning. Bright side-- I didn't eat up everything as I cleaned up the mess (literally lol).

8/13 - 61.5kg, was going to wait to start but jumping on now regardless of the upcoming weekend!
8/14 - 60.9kg, got my 2nd vaccine yesterday so a bit of lethargy and some comfort food
8/15 - 60.6kg, a few social stressors, but eating was good, did some gardening and a bit of walking
8/16 - 60.6kg, no change so I guess the honeymoon phase is over, keeping eating under control, more walking
8/17 - 60.3kg, when I'm wanting to lose it matters so much more that what I eat is nicely presented and healthful
8/18 - 60.4kg, bit of a back slide last night because of bad news from the community, but back on track today
8/19 - 60.5kg, that would be the day before yesterday coming back to haunt me, yesterday was stellar.
Did not make goal but on to another round!! Thanks to organizers

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

8/18 210.6 Recovering from multiple bee stings, so I cut myself some flack over the past few days. I'm up a pound or so this round. I used food to get my mind off pain. Ice and cortisone cream helped as well. Disappointing that a month ago, I was down 5.6 pounds from where I am right now, but it's ok as I'm still happy that these $%@$ bee sting reactions are subsiding a bit! I'm hoping that by tomorrow, I can be bac to chopping veggies and cooking which are difficult to do since the bee stings were to my right hand.

Good news is the pain means I will be moving alot today (movement is the only thing that helps.) 2 workouts + 10,000 steps cleaning the house. My Fitbit is reporting my resting heart rate as being 5 BPM slower than last week and I have seen it in the 60's pretty amazing from 4 days of exercise.

8/18 - 146.6 - No hugs. It's dairy. Made a thought-out decision to enjoy some ice cream with BF last night. Took my lactose pills but between the cheese in dinner and the ice cream, it was a tad too much. Quite alright, feeling better this morning, just remnants of bloating. Planning my breakfast and lunch meals for next week. I have to drive in at LEAST Mon-Wed, possibly Thurs depending on what data I can collect Monday and if it's enough for analysis at home Thurs. Just ordered a Bento box since I used to have one and LOVED it. I think it broke during my move to Texas and was tossed. Not 100% sure, but it is NOT in this house. Definitely helps with portioning and the various compartments make me think about my sides (veggies and fruit for "dessert") while keeping my "main meal" within check. Going to do a sauteed kielbasa and red pepper with veggies/hummus and strawberries. Should get me through 2 days. Thinking a chicken&veggie wrap or pinwheel with carrots/hummus (if there's leftover) and strawberries (if leftover) for Wed/Thurs. Breakfast will be ham/egg/cheese/spinach muffin all 4 days.

Have you tried the non-dairy icecreams that are out there now? They're totally awesome and won't make you ill! I've tried coconut milk, soy milk, almond milk and cashew milk based icecream. I've also tried hemp milk but if I were you I'd give that a miss because it's got a really unpleasant underlying flavour.3 -

8/13: 211 lb. Found this challenge! Day one replaces “one day.”
8/14: 210 lb. Had a headache last night and this morning. But I am proud that I brushed my teeth after dinner and didn’t eat in the evening. My doctor said the first month won’t be easy but that it improves.
8/15: 210.8 lb. Ran my tush off today (at work), but forgot my apple watch!! Do those steps even count? haha. Hoping to see a downward trend soon.
8/16: 209.4 lb. Plan for today: drink water, walk, quilt!
8/17: 208.2 lb. Been feeling tired and unenergetic. I don’t think I’ve been getting enough calories, so I bumped it up and ate all but 3 today.
8/18: 209.2 lb. Boo - how did that happen… Not looking forward to tomorrow since I kind of lost it tonight. Hopefully there is still some downward trend at the end of this challenge.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 159 (round 91 for me ) as always, I 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 maintenance – any loss will be a win! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions 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.

8/10 135.4 -9.82 miles walked yesterday, calories within, but carbs over.
8/11 135.4 - 11.87 miles walked yesterday. A really good day, I reset my eating, well in credit with calories and all other macros, hope to emulate it today and shortly see the reward on the scales.
8/12 134.4 – 8.99 miles walked yesterday, Calories well in carbs 4g over.
8/13 135.2 – 11.12 miles waked yesterday pushing DGS in his buggy, 30 minutes of which was not only uphill, but was against a brisk wind!! Don't really know how that affected my cardio as Fitbit was attached to my belt loop as when pushing him it doesn't count the steps; but it must have pushed heart rate up (felt like it anyway!!) Calories under, carbs & fat 7 &12g over respectively.
8/14 DNW – went away for the weekend in our caravan and forgot to pack my scales, in addition, we were in Wales with a very bad signal so abandoned trying to post! 10.12 miles walked yesterday.
8/15 DNW – 13.14 miles walked yesterday, enjoyed a Welsh cream tea and a few adult beverages.
8/16 135.6 – That's the result of being lax over the weekend – 8.34 miles walked yesterday.
8/17 134.4 - 12.44 miles yesterday, excellent food day.
8/18 134.4 -12.9 yesterday, calories well in credit, but fat 28g over.
8/19 134.4 – 1 pound lost this round. 12.33 miles walked yesterday. Calories in credit, carbs 3g & fat 16g over respectively.
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – be consistent, we're all in this together!

🌸🌹🌺🌼🌹💕🌸💕🌹🌼🌺🌹🌸
I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine.
• in Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range
Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily. People are still dying out there………
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
August 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:JGM10D ~|~ Round 159- 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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

@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.
8/15 159 diet was pretty darn good yesterday. Stressful day tho. Caregivers obviously forgot my mon yesterday. I had to call the ALF for them to get her out of bed. Of course, their excuse was that they get her up later as that’s what they usually do. Well, 11:30m for her to leave the room is way too late & besides they usually get her up at different times ranging from 7:30am to 9:30am. Plus she usually has morning meds with breakfast. Wtf. My dog had another seizure yesterday. She’s not doing well. My Dads eye infection was much worse. Just not a great day fir me, a gain… Today is a new day!!!!!!!
8/16 158.8 Did pretty good, yesterday. Normal work stress. Was awakened by SNF calling re: my Dad -- at 5am. He required wound care at that time... ghah! Then, noticed that my Mom was having an issue at the ALF. She can't walk anymore & has to be in a wheelchair, but she had gotten herself to a sitting position on the edge of the bed & was trying to get up. A caregiver finally went in there. (Motion sensors alert the caregivers on their pagers...) Luckily she arrived just in time to help my Mom, so no fall, thank goodness!
8/17 158.2 Did well dieting yesterday. At work this morning, got a terrible no good migraine, wasn't sure if that was all it was since I haven't had one this bad in so long. Was nauseous & had chills, felt incredibly tired, sneezed 6 times in a row & ended very congested. Had to call my husband to come help me at work. My co-worker was kind enough to offer to help when he saw me lying on the floor in my office. He's such a sweetheart. He brought me cold damp papertowels to put on my head & neck. My husband came & helped me do a Covid test -- thankfully negative, no fever, O2 was good, pulse was fine, Threw up, Gradually was better. Stayed at work & when better actually got work done. I haven't had a migraine like that one in a very long time... a couple years! Used to get them very often... they're in my family. Only 2 of my brothers escaped them...
8/18 157.4 Yay! Yesterday afternoon, my sweet dog had another big seizure. She’s been bumping into things & very discombobulated since then. Actually since the first one last Thursday morning… so hard to watch her like this. Having to help lift her to stand & walk. Sitting next to her on the floor. Holding water bowl for her. Night & day since Thursday. My sweet wonderful puppy

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, strength training, 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)

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.
8/16 201.8 Walk 3 miles, Bike 30 min, 1325 cal, 113 net carbs (biscotti at breakfast & rye bread on sandwich blew my carb budget today), AF.
8/17 202.9 Walked 3.4 miles, Bike 30 min, 1514 cal, 95 net carbs, AF. Book club. Chose wisely at restaurant (chicken kabob, tomato cucumber salad, 1/2 cup rice, water) and still got a bump up. This was the easiest restaurant for the week to plan & execute. First of 4 nights out. Hmmm
8/18 201.6 Walked 2 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1049 cal, 78 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Evening event where my dinner consisted of a few appetizers … mini crab cakes & pot stickers.
8/19 202.9 Walked 3 miles, 1321 cal, 110 net carbs, AF. Uptick from pizza & tacos? Woke up thirsty with a salty taste in my mouth.
NSV: Vanity sizing probably but I ordered pants and shorts for walking in a couple of different sizes along with the new swimsuit from Lands End. I’m sending back the XL pants & shorts and the 18 swimsuit! Keeping the L and 16. 😊 That feels good.
A bump back up on the last day but still a little down overall. I had glimpses of 201.x during the round too!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/10 - 251.3 Slight uptick today. We had alfredo pasta for dinner so probably some water retention. Also didn't run this morning after sleeping in. I always find the last pound getting to the next decade harder than any of the pounds in the middle.
8/11 - 250.2 SO CLOSE! 1 pound away from being 50 lbs down. Less than a pound away from under 250. Got in a short run this morning before work, doing a longer one tonight to see if I can see 249 on the scale tomorrow. Crazy to think that the start of round 159 will be on the 4 month anniversary of starting this and I could be down 50+ lbs. Really giving me that extra motivation I need during this period of 11+ hour work days!
8/12 - 249.8 Out of the 250s which means half way to the 100s. Also, this takes me out of the Morbidly Obese BMI and into just Obese. I'm just obese! The scale was teetering this morning between 249.8 and 250 but I gave it a death stare to get under 250. Did a short run again this morning but our A/C is broken... again, so that took up my morning.
8/13 - 250.7 Not really surprised by this after a stressful day dealing with the A/C and work. Had a high salt dinner so I expected a bounce up. Ran 2.5 miles this morning, though. I feel like the last week or so was a linear downtrend in weight so this is just normal life. Expecting a drop this weekend per usual.
8/14 - 251.1
8/15 - 250.2
8/16 - 247.4 The weekend drop strikes again! I was honestly surprised with the weigh-ins on Saturday/Sunday because of how much yard work I had to do this weekend. I spent almost 2 hours yesterday pulling up a patio and moving bricks across the yard. Now that I can officially say I'm 50 lbs down, the next goal is 60 lbs which is 1/2 way to my goal. The small goals like this group keep me motivated along the way!
8/17 - 246.9 Nothing really motivational today, because I'm really tired. I spent my morning shower thinking of what my next goal is after 60 lbs down because I've been so focused on that for 4 months. Long term I think it'd be cool to be down 100 lbs by Christmas but I know the weight loss is going to slow down so I don't want to pressure myself. Ran 2.5 miles this morning pushing through my exhaustion!
8/18 - 248.0 Well then, scale... Not exactly sure what this is about. I feel like I didn't even consume 1.1 pounds of things yesterday because I was caught up in a work project and forgot to eat/drink. Oh well. Lots of water today and hopefully finally getting a good night of sleep tonight.
8/19 - 249.1 I don't even know what to say... not the best ending.5 -

Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
8/10: 208.2
Trying to establish a new base of operations near 207. Like football (American), I want to establish better field position on the opponent. I have been on the 210 yard line for too long. I want to be in a position to win the 4th quarter (of 2021.) For a change. Hike!
8/11: 208.0
I was kinda hoping for a better drop. Calories on-point and a huge exercise session in the spinning class. But hey, a drop is a drop.
8/12: 207.4
Did my mowing in the thick air last night. Clothes drenched. I do love this time of year though.
8/13: 207.2
Doing a lot of reading lately, which gets in the way of moving. (and eating)

8/18: 206 (my average for this round is 208.1 and my past-ten-day rolling average is 208.2. Yes, I keep a spreadsheet going that calculates all of this )
This is welcomed because today is DW’s and my anniversary. 42 years. Could mean some kind of higher calorie indulgence today. 😊
