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.

SW RND 161 117.0
8/30 116.5 AF last night but woke up with a headache, Jimmy John’s Unwich planned for early lunch today - YUM!
8/31 118.0 AF again last night and had a headache when I woke at 4:20AM. Several months ago, the doctor had asked if I thought alcohol was causing my headaches. I really don’t drink that much. Maybe a double shot with a liter of diet tonic over several hours. Anyway, I decided to run my own little experiment.5 -

@deepwoodslady. There's low carb zucchini bread recipes. I didn't make mine low carb because I didn't make it for myself.
Actually of weeks ago, I made pumpkin muffins using carbquik mix. DH & DS said they were very good. I didn't eat any. I'm not sure if carbquik is keto friendly, but it is low carb. I used monkfruit sweetener in the batter. The fiber in the carbquik, pumpkin and monkfruit made the carbohydrate macros, negative? If that's possible.2 -
@tiabirdie56
I have carbquick but I haven't used it in awhile. I store the box in my fridge. I'll have to find some muffin recipes. Thanks for reminding me about some of the good keto ideas out there. I was slacking there for awhile!2 -
@deepwoodslady, Donna, the calorie and macro count is from MFP. There are other recipe calorie calculators online. Also monkfruit sweetener is VERY sweet. I didn't eat any of these muffins, but my family didn't say they were too sweet. I plan on making them again for next week. If you consider making this recipe, you can wait on my opinion first.

Last round began straight after a camping activity holiday, ended after birthday celebrations and included my TOMO so it wasn't the best of circumstances for monitoring weight, with lots of retaining water and disruptions to my routine. Glad to have reached my goal but now ready to put August behind me and knuckle down. I have a 2.5lb loss goal this round, which might be too ambitious but I have a feeling I'm due a drop in the next day or so. We'll see! Exceeded my step goal total so I'm adding 500 more each day, also adding a sleep goal of 8hrs minimum per night to try and reduce stress levels and attempting to cut out alcohol for Sober September as this can be a real problem for me.
08/30 162.0 STEPS 13,606 SLEEP 8hr14m Didn't eat much yesterday as I was feeling pretty rough, lots of walking and standing around. A really great time with old friends and family but glad to get home and recover!
08/31 160.4 STEPS 8,426 SLEEP 8hr23m Low energy day again yesterday so a little short on steps. Went for a 3 mile walk in the afternoon which wiped me out. Really hungry in the evening and ended up snacking and had a couple of drinks. Feeling much fresher today so hopefully I'll get more activity in.
09/01 161.0 STEPS 9,520 SLEEP 8hrs34m Busy day yesterday, early morning walk then gardening and house reno stuff. I had a proper meal for lunch rather than just a banana but still felt really snacky in the evening so ended up over my cals a little bit. I'm really ready to get into the 150s now. Feeling a bit blue today but I've got a long walk with my mum planned for later which will hopefully lift my spirits.

We bought my mother an Apple Watch for her birthday this year since she wanted a watch to monitor her steps and we wanted the fall detection since her husband passed away in 2020 and she lives alone in a remote area.

8/30 203.0 Walked 3.8 + 1, 1402 cal, 81 net carbs, AF. Cancelled plans with friends to dine out since my friend’s family has many in the hospital with covid and DH was not feeling well. Finished reading The Forest of Vanishing Stars by Kristin Harmel.
8/31 203.7 Walked 3.25 + 1 miles, 1568 cal, 172 net carbs, AF. Walked to the library to drop off my book Then another short walk in the evening after dinner with DH. FINISHED my 100 miles for August! I’m walking on the 31st anyway. Scale bumped up due to terrible choices for meals … breakfast - waffles & sausage; lunch - spaghetti & salad; dinner - Salisbury steak w/ rice & gravy & green beans. Few veggies and lots of carbs.
9/1 204.6 Walked 2.4 miles, 2257 cal, 141 net carbs, 1 glass of wine. Slice of Berry Chantilly Cake on top of a late dinner. DH’s sister unexpectedly drove in to stay with us … celebrated her birthday which is Friday since we rarely see her and it was a treat. Not surprised that the scale jumped right up!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/30 - 242.3 Another weekend, another weekend drop. I decided to stop running for now and go back to T25 to shift momentum a little. I started with the total body workout so I am sore everywhere and I broke my HIIT calorie record. I set my goal at 240 but if I could get to 239.1 and officially be 60 lbs down I would be so excited.
08/31 - 242.7 Not even a little worried about a fluctuation up. I looked at my chart of where I was last Tuesday and I'm 3.8 lbs down from then. So that's the lesson for the day. Day to day doesn't matter as long as you keep pushing and making yourself better. Another round of T25 this morning and walking is a chore now!
09/01 - 243.2 I am anticipating a lot of water retention from switching workout routines, so again not too worried about fluctuations up. My office orders us lunch every day and yesterday we ordered Cheesecake Factory for a co-worker's birthday. Even the salads there are over 1000 calories! I got the smallest chicken tacos (under 600 calories) and then was hungry and snacking the rest of the day... Brought my own salad today to not risk that happening again.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

@_JeffreyD_ I had a Garmin for about five years. It syncs well with MFP including adding and subtracting calories when your steps are more or less than a usual day. My last one was coming to its end and I bit the bullet and bought the Apple watch. I love all the bells and whistles and the details I get on all my workouts, including swimming. The exercise syncs with MFP, but no credit for regular daily activity. I'm happy I made the change.2

8/30 235.2 (-.4) Yesterday, my sister and I hiked almost 6 miles. It felt great to get back in the groove after not exercising so much last week. I took time to assess why I was discouraged over the last few days and wrote this blog post. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/coblujay/view?id=the-weight-loss-grumps-a-twelve-week-update-995464 I never planned to give up, but this clarity has really helped me approach this next phase with more focus and a good plan.
8/31 235 (-.6) I ate late last night and didn’t get enough water. I was within my calorie goal so I’m expecting a decent loss tomorrow or Wednesday. Today I’m swimming and taking my dogs for a long walk. Feeling hopeful!!
9/1 233.4 (-2.2) There it is. I know I’ve been working hard, but the scale has been slow to respond. I drank all my water yesterday, ate earlier and swam 725 yards. It’s nice to see the payoff.
