8/20 DNW - On vacation - still tracking and trying to stay under maintenance calorie levels. Lots of walking and good fun.
8/21 DNW - We’ve been hiking, but not exercising at my usual intensity. I’m really going to be interested to see how I’ve managed without a scale to keep me on track. I won’t be weighing in until Tuesday.
8/22 DNW - Still on vacation. I had my indulgence meal yesterday. Today we are kayaking. I’m really looking forward to it!
8/23 DNW - Final day of vacation. I’ll be weighing in tomorrow. Overall, my eating has been pretty good…under maintenance levels for most days. Keeping my fingers crossed. We have been walking and hiking. Kayaking was cancelled due to high water levels.
8/24 235.6 (-1.4) I’m thrilled to be down almost a pound and a half after visiting my son and being off my usual routine. Hiking every day, limited eating out and logging most meals was really helpful. My son was really encouraging me to stay on track and was happy making meal decisions based on what I needed. It's great to have such wonderful support.

I expected the uptick after last night’s pitch-in with my creativity group. Really great food, definitely not for weight loss! But that’s okay once in a while. All good!

8/21 - 188.7 - 1547
Ok, that’s Thursday evening speaking. Yesterday wasn’t perfect but also wasn’t awful. Today is all planned out. All good! Happy Saturday!

8/22 - 188.6 - 1399
Had a lot of salt yesterday, then a lot of water, so I think it’s evening out. It’s already getting sticky hot out at 9:30, so I’m off for a walk before it becomes unbearable. Nice rain last night, so my garden is happy! Have a good Sunday.

8/20-169-Out to dinner with MIL tonight, it would have been their 55th anniversary but he died on Christmas Day. On a happy note, we got4 loads of road base delivered yesterday for our parking area around our house pad. I am excited because DH will have a road around the pad and I’ll have a walking path!
8/21-DNW-Lovely dinner out with MIL and aunt. Off to a quilting class, then probably yard work. Happy Saturday!🌸☕️
8/22-168
8/23-DNW- We have so much yellow squash, I decided to make a casserole with it. Also made a small loaf of herb bread and ate some of it. Off to ride the horse, then home to quilt.
8/24-DNW-Making cream brûlée French toast for MIL this morning. I made French bread last night with a little nutmeg in it and it smelled so good, I had some of it. Work at the quilt shop today.

8/23 199.3 Well I had Chinese food on Friday night and apparently it stayed with me a bit. I realize that I haven’t logged food last week at all. So that is my weekly goal to log all food all week. Including the Oreo cookie (apple cider donut) that someone just brought over to my desk. Food does not equal comfort, food does not equal comfort…my new chant…
8/24 200.9 My clothes are starting to seem really tight. Even when I am working out lately, my heart isn’t in it anymore. When I go to Zumba class on Saturday, I have to really concentrate to stay in the moment. I know that right now I am going through some form of PTSD and trying very hard not to fall into depression but I am struggling. Can stress make everything you eat just stay with you? I thought I did pretty well yesterday but when I put in all my numbers, very high sodium, high fat, high sugar 2234 calories. Well there’s my answer. It felt like a regular day though. I felt like I was being good but upon review, I really wasn’t.

Ugh. I think it's water weight increase from more sodium in my diet. I hope it is anyway. It really was disheartening this morning to see I went up again. I didn't want to do my diet and exercise, just wallow in pity, munching on stuff. However, out of discipline, I did my walk, and went further than I had anticipated I could. By the end of the walk I felt better and ready to stick to my lifestyle changes.

Stress can cause you to retain water and gain more fat as well. It raises your cortisol levels which impacts how insulin and your body works. If it goes on too long you can end up with organ damage and your nails and hair will stop growing, as they are not necessary for fight or flight. I have CPTSD and have dealt with depression. My suggestion is to find something you can just sit and be still for, but enjoy. I do a lot of coloring, it helps me. For nightmares, there are a couple of prescription options that can help with that. I hope things look up for you soon. If you need to, you can contact me.

@dymphnadaniels - Very inspiring how you didn't give in! Keep to your plan, drink tons of water, and you'll see a drop back down soon. You're down 65 lbs from your heaviest? - amazing!

Thank you for your response. I am trying to find some level of calm.

Tesha231 · August 2021

Joining late after a long time a-weigh. I have gained back a lot of my former progress. Bought a brand new pair of shorts I might have been able to wear to the races Saturday had I continued my original conviction and health plan past June. They are now my goal shorts. Took an "ugly truth" picture wearing them buttoned up as far as they would go. It's not pretty folks. But reality rarely is.

@Lilylady3k Fries, rice, and wine = a LOT of carbs. Wine and rice would both impact me, I had fries yesterday as well as 2 biscuits (Cracker Barrel) and still went down. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I’m really sort of surprised by that. 😱😱😱 Will see what happens tomorrow!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/19 …..187.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
08/20 …..186.6 ….. (trend weight 189.6) My new low since before Covid. I’m dreaming of the 170’s. It may be awhile but it is within reach before Christmas if I stay committed and on track! Wishing everyone the very best of luck and circumstances this round. Let’s do this!

08/21 …..186.8 ….. (trend weight 189.3) My renovation handmen were here until late (9:30 pm). One helped prime my well pump and it’s still working this morning! Hopeful! I didn’t get in the walks I wanted and my dinner was very late and eaten in bed. Frozen pizza filled with sodium so I am happy the scale isn’t going crazy on me this morning. I finally settled in at about 11:30 pm to an Episode of Columbo which is one of my greatest pleasures. I had a heckofaday (with water problems and drywall dust) and deserved all two hours of it! Today I have pulled pork going in the crock pot to share with the workers.

08/22 …..185.4 ….. (trend weight 188.9) That’s better! Ended up having dessert last night which was unnecessary really. A double whammy – A little too much and totally of the wrong thing but the scale was still kind to me this morning. It was probably catching up to some good days a few days ago. Today is my DGD’s 1st birthday. She is about 65 miles away so there’s a tad bit of travel and there will be food and cake. I expect an uptick tomorrow but a wonderful day today! I will consider today my higher calorie day to keep my metabolism from dropping. Making it part of my plan instead of against it will help keep me in check in the coming days.

08/23 …..187.4 ….. (trend weight 188.8)The birthday party was fantastic for my DGD turning age 1. So beautiful with lots of things for toddlers to do (trampoline, kiddie pool, castle playing, bouncy house etc). Food was catered and delicious. I didn’t eat much real food yesterday, mostly junk. The cake was so sweet that, even after taking off most of the frosting, my teeth almost fell out. I felt like I died and went to heaven, truthfully. It was the land of milk and honey. Abundance. So…..two pounds later, I am planning an extra good day today. I’ll never forget her birthday celebration, but I will forget these 2 pounds. They will be gone before the end of this round!

08/24 …..187.4 ….. (trend weight 188.6) Still trending down and still below starting weight which is goal met. Yesterday I remained under calorie and with pretty decent macros. However, I didn’t drink enough water and I must have crawled like a snail or a turtle (at best) all day because I got in basically zero extra activity. So I am not surprised by no change on the scale. I will try to some lower carb healthier choices today and see what happens. On a positive note, today was morning 4 with water (and without priming well). Perhaps they’ve finally got the right settings!

@deepwoodslady I was telling my neighbor about all of the sweets they served on Saturday - at lunch, dinner, and Sweet Treats night! OMG Could they not have spread that over the 3 days???? My neighbor said just hearing it made her teeth hurt!
