Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 168
Replies
-
Very happy to join for my second round and hoping to keep the momentum going. These are the last 10 days before my fiance comes to visit and before we travel for the holidays, so I want to make them count!
Original SW - 187.8 (10/29/2021)
GW - 138
R167: SW 187.8, EW 181.8 (-6.0)
Know this included lots of water weight and will be slower going from here.
R168 SW: 181.8
R168 GW: 179.8
Day/Weight/Comment
11/08 - 182.4 Well the scale is up today, but that’s ok. I know I ate well yesterday and went for a hike. Hoping my last weigh-in wasn’t just a fluke and that the scale drops again.
11/09 - 180.8 Very happy to see the scale back down today. Ate well yesterday, though not much activity.
11/10 - 181.2 Sigh. Scale back up again for some reason. Stuck to my calories and meal plan yesterday though so will just keep at it.
11/11 - 182.6 I have no explanation for the scale going up once again. Stuck to my calories yesterday. Have to hope this is just normal fluctuation and I’ll have a big drop soon.
11/12 - 179.6 Grateful to see some forward progress. Stuck to my meal plan yesterday, though not much activity.
11/13 - 179.6 No movement, but had a reasonable and healthy eating day yesterday. Today I’m going out for lunch through so may end up seeing an increase tomorrow. Will try to get some exercise and drink lots of water to counter balance as much as possible.
11/14 - 181.4 As expected, scale is up following a salty (and delicious) restaurant meal yesterday. I was very active though (long bike ride) and drank plenty of water so hoping this goes away soon!
11/15 - 182 Was well under calories yesterday so can only assume this is again sodium related. I also feel very bloated. Hoping I flush it out of my system soon so I can end this round with a decent loss! Over 25,000 steps yesterday so quite an active weekend for me.

End Weight of round 167: 90.8 kg / 200.2 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
11/8 90.2 kg / 198.9 lbs
11/9 90.2 kg / 198.9 lbs
11/10 90.0 kg / 198.4 lbs
11/11 90.5 kg / 199.5 lbs
11/12 89.9 kg / 198.2 lbs
11/13 90.0 kg / 198.4 lbs
11/14 90.6 kg / 199.6 lbs
11/15 88.7 kg / 195.6 lbs / I used a different scale, so I am guessing this is one of the reasons for the big drop. Also I am expecting my weight to fluctuate a lot in the coming days due to hormones..

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/8 207.9 Walked 3.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Wonderful jazz music brunch at Brennan’s with our adult children (they threw in their credit cards and would not let us pay), 60th birthday celebration for DH since we had the kids all together. Walked through our daughter’s new home built in 1948 … definitely a fixer upper in an up and coming area of town. She told her siblings she was pregnant at brunch. So much celebration this weekend. Taking my mom to the airport today and pulling the plug on gluttony for the rest of the week!
11/9 207.4 Walk 3 miles, Bike 20 min, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF.
11/10 206.7 Walked 1.3 + 1.3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, weeding garden, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Still not journalling my food but I am paying more attention Mon & Tues. TODAY is the day I pull it all back together water, tracking every bite and exercise. Took the leftover pumpkin cookies & pear cake from the baby shower to alumnae social event last night instead of a bottle of wine. All the sweet temptations are gone!
11/11 205.5 Walked 1.6 + 3.1 + 1 miles, 1524 cal, 114 net carbs, AF. Donated blood (targeting 4x per year). Started journaling my food for the day in the morning again and then updating it throughout the day. Definitely makes me think before putting something else in my tummy and I’m more accountable.
11/12 207.0 Walked 1.8 + 1.4 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2267 cal, 151 net carbs, Torchy’s Tini. DH went to happy hour with clients. My sister stopped by to drop something off so we ended up going out as well. After I returned home I walked the dog once more before DH returned.
11/13 207.4 Walked 3.7 + 3.1 miles, 1642 cal, 118 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
11/14 209.3 Walked 1 mile, 2431 cal, 242 net carbs, 1 wine, 1 blackberry liqueur w/ soda water. 11550 steps shopping at the Nutcracker Market with DD. DH’s birthday celebration with dear friends that included purple & gold layered cake.
11/15 207.1 Walked 3.2 miles, 1562 cal, 69 net carbs, 1 glass wine.

11/9 – 231.2 – Met all round goals yesterday and feeling pretty great!
11/10 – 231.8 – I got some not so great news yesterday so all the healthy eating and goals went out the window. Honestly, surprised that the uptick wasn’t more! But today will be a good day.
11/11 – 229.2 – So happy with this number, just hope it’s real! Yesterday I ate well and exercised. Just gotta keep going! (PS - I hate this mfp update grrrrr)
11/12 – 228.2 – I had a subway salad last night but I didn’t get all the extra sauces like I normally do. I also worked out twice in am and pm and will try to keep doing that.
11/13 – 229 – My partner convinced me to have pizza last night but it was yummy and I tried to control my portions! I worked out once yesterday in the am.
11/14 - DNW

11/15 - 150.5 - Well, that was interesting. Food was controlled (until last night) but water was a tad tricky. The bathrooms were not close like the map showed when I picked the campsite. It was also FRIGID. Ended up getting down to about 26 degrees Friday night. Needless to say, I didn’t drink enough water because I was NOT getting out of my sleeping bags (yes I had more than one. Thankfully) Also to note, not much TMI the last 3 days which can also be causing quite an uptick. Last night we were so tired after unloading we went to the local Chinese food place so he could get sushi and I got sesame chicken. Not the best choice, but I was just happy to be somewhere warm and wanted warm food. Back on track today with water and food. Need to stop at the store to get some fresh veggies this afternoon for me to munch on. Saturday is race day so I’m hoping I get back down and this bloat/weight doesn’t make it that much more difficult. Goal is back to 146 or so by Saturday. Even better if lower.

Previous Day's Comments11/08 - Chili for dinner, that's all I can say about this. 80 oz water, only 10oz shy of what I normally try to drink so much better. Probably retaining some of it while I work to rehydrate. It will likely take a few days to flush out. Time change has my sleep messed so that's likely not helping, either. My birthday camping trip is this weekend since we had to postpone. Will be busy getting everything ready for that (:
11/09 - I'm beyond bloated this morning. Uncomfortably so, but at least not painful. BF had a gurgly stomach last night and he's thinking it was the chili finally getting to him. I'm wondering if that's my problem as well. No proper TMI is also adding to the scale. Water was okay, about 80oz. Instead of a workout, we reorganized house to bring BF's office back in the house now that it's getting a tad too chilly to be in the garage. It has a window unit AC, but no heat in there. Hopefully come January, we will be in a good enough place to look to buy a house that suits our needs so we don't have to have him taking over our dining room. (Especially frustrating when I'm working from home and he has to be on camera. The front door is in full view and only a corner of the living room is hidden. I have to plan my potty breaks, me leaving/coming home, and getting food from the kitchen around his meeting schedule to avoid being on camera.) Today I'm not sure about anything. Crazy meetings coming up right around the time it is warm/light enough out to walk. And food, well, getting ready for a weekend away so we've been trying to use up perishables before we go, limiting my healthy selection. I think I have one bag of salad left I might munch on.
11/10 - Better day yesterday! Did have a small bedtime snack of caramel popcorn to kill sweet tooth cravings. Thankfully it's really sweet to me so a small handful was more than enough. Other than that, stayed fairly well on track food-wise. Also managed my full 90oz water, yippee! Leftover tacos from dinner I'll munch on at lunch. Likely make more of a salad out of it than a taco like last night. Avoid those carbs. Unsure of dinner. BF was craving wings and the only good place in town to that has wings was closed last night so I'm anticipating eating out tonight. I should be able to plan around that, though.
11/11 - Quite happy with this drop off despite eating out last night. I was careful with food throughout the day and tried to make decent choices with what we have. Work sent me a $10 Starbucks gift card and my mom sent me $10 cash as well for Veteran’s day. BF has an awful day at work today (and is also a Veteran) so I’ll use those $20 to get us something from there. (We neither like Starbucks, but free is free. Long story short, he had a very bad experience with corporate telling him he’s a baby killer and they didn’t support the military while trying to order items while deployed. Target did something like that as well so we take our business elsewhere. They even took the money but refused to ship anything. It was all basic stuff like toothpaste, toothbrush, toilet paper.) Anyway, that’s my splurge. Tonight will be a nice dinner of pork chops, collard greens, and salad from Fam. Tomorrow will be my last weigh-in until Monday as we are tent camping and I won’t have my scale.
11/12 - Didn’t really want to post this. We had an amazing all out dinner of pork chops, collard greens (made the not as healthy way), fried okra, smoked venison sausage, rice, and gravy. Whew. Delicious, but my body definitely is showing the aftermath today. Quite alright, our meals for camping are straightforward and portioned for the weekend. Water wasn't exactly ideal. Will work on that best I can today pending the 2.5 hour drive. We have plenty of water coming with us, though, so shouldn't be a problem. Tomorrow marks 1 week until my 5k and I'm not ready still haha I pulled off a 5k on Halloween, though, so I don't see why I can't pull off this one. Plus, I'll have other runners around me to use as motivation to keep going unlike Halloween.

Hello everyone, late joining this group. Joined mfp yesterday and thought I'd give it a try.
Been at this weight for a long time and decided it was time get moving on losing the excess lbs and to getting healthier. Better to do it with like minded people, instead of alone. With the holidays looming in the very near future, now's a good time as any to start this new journey.
SW: 299.2
Day/Weight/Comment:
11/12: 299.2
11/13: 297.8 ⬇️ (-1.4 lbs)
11/14: 296.4 ⬇️ (-1.4)
11/15: 294 ⬇️ (-2.4) I seem to have found what works best for me at this time ( but, as some of you know!) When losing weight this could always change in the future. Mfp's daily calorie intake is set at (1,554) I try to stay around that daily goal. At this time I eat whatever I want in moderation, will adjust accordingly, as my weight changes. This is just a restart on my weight loss journey.

I'm a 5'7" 54yo woman in SE Michigan.
I did a couple rounds earlier this fall and found them helpful! Then, I got super busy, had some travel, fell off the bandwagon, and gained some weight back. 🙄 I'm ready to jump back in and continue the journey here!
SW: 161 lbs
UGW: 145 lbs.
11/08 - 161.0 Had a good day - so busy, I didn't have time to snack! (Now that's busy! ) I did squeeze in a short jog at the arb in the gorgeous weather.
11/09 - 161.2 A little uptick, but my body has a delayed reaction. I limited snacking and ate well. Need to drink more water.
11/10 - 161.0 Got into snacking this afternoon, particularly peanut butter which is my Achilles heel.
11/11 - 161.2 Another busy day with not much snacking.
11/12 - 159.6 Beautiful day; would like to get in a jog - but I threw out my back again and I probably can't. Might try a walk. Need to drink more H20.
11/13 - 159.8 Went out to a nice restaurant for dinner with friends the 2nd night in a row (different friends - LOL!). We'll see what the damage is tomorrow. My back is doing better; I do back exercises (from PT) 1x /day to keep problems at bay and increase to 2x/ day when my back is not doing well, and they're very helpful. Was all set to jog this afternoon - but rainy sleet started coming down just as I got to the arb. *sigh* Nope.
11/14 - 159.6 Ate at a restaurant for lunch with dh, but we made good choices. Ate french toast for dinner at friends' home
Snacks: 1 apple + 2 T granola
11/15 - 158.0 I have no explanation for the drop. 🤔 It could be a fluke.

8: 220.5 Down 1 pound from when I started last week. I'll take it. I've been not feeling very good about having gained around 10 pounds since the ankle sprain/wasp sting event over the summer. I'm hoping I can stay focused this round and see some real results.
9: 220.0 Over calories yesterday, didn't make it to the gym, tracked only 40oz of water, and am now on about 5 hours of sleep for no reason. On the plus side, I ended my eating window about 2 hours early yesterday. That might be the only thing creating today's loss. Getting ready to go to the gym now, but gonna take it easy because I'm tired.

11: 222.0
12: 220.4
13: 217.8 I have not been able to access MFP Community since they worked on it several days ago, and it was somewhat challenging not being able to check in here. I still can't get here on my phone, which is super inconvenient. Anyway, I've kept up on going to the gym. The spike on the 11th was likely from going two days in a row and harvesting willow for several hours on that second day. Went to Applebee's for my Veterans Day meal. I love that the veteran menu has realistic portion sizes, as compared to their regular menu. I also picked up a veteran meal voucher from Texas Roadhouse, so I'm looking forward to using that on another trip to the city. I'm happy with my progress this week. Oh, and psst, hey stalker. Instead of hiding behind that disagree button, maybe you could share what you're actually disagreeing with in every single entry that I post. Just a thought.
14: 219.1 Went to see Dune yesterday and indulged in popcorn but finished within my normal IF eating window. TOM expected in 2 days. Both things cause a bit of weight gain, so I'm not concerned about the scale being up today. Could see increases the next couple of days until my typical drop with TOM.
15: 219.9 Weighed hours earlier than usual, so although an increase was expected I don't think this is completely accurate.

Worked my buns off yesterday in the yard. (too bad buns are not my “problem” area. HA!) Ate half a frozen pizza and still lost weight! The rest of yesterday’s food was reasonable.
Today will be another story. Pizza out with folks to celebrate Mom’s birthday, then a turkey dinner+potluck for supper at church before the annual meeting.

Do you have an Android phone? I think I remember reading they were still working on glitches with them. I’m currently on my iPhone and it’s working on which is so weird it’s working for some and not others.

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.

I have NO explanation for this bump up from yesterday. Ok, yes I do but it involves an overabundance of information.
11/9: 206.6
Marginal day of following my self-imposed rules yesterday.
11/10: 205.6
Important work being done here. I wish I could remember that every day.
Had a spinning class last evening after work. I was there a few minutes early so I decided to do some upper body dumb-bell exercise. Very proud of myself for staying in my lane. The young lady next to me was using twice the weight I was lifting. Others were at many multiples more. I put my ego in my pocket and wasn’t even tempted to “look strong,” or “feel week!”
Very satisfying muscle soreness this morning and no injuries. Getting wise in my old age.
11/11: 206.2
I am totally fine in this neighborhood. I need to train my metabolism to like it here. I need my metabolism to trust me. “No Mr. Metabolism, I will never starve you. So, you can burn away at your heart’s content. No need to hoard calories and store them for later!”
OK, that was weird.
11/12: 205.6
This new format reminds me what it feels like to unexpectedly see friends from back home while you are on vacation.
11/13: 205.8
This reading is better than I deserve after yesterday’s behavior. Regardless, I am at my lowest 10-day running average since September.
Looks like they have reinstated things so I can at least post the way I usually do. I keep a Word document and copy/paste from it each day. And the spoilers are back, 😊

Day/Weight/Comment
11/08 - 217.2 I set my goal for this round to 215 because that will put me into "overweight" BMI. I've been snacking A LOT lately but I've also been working out like a madman so I feel like it's deserved. A healthy relationship with food is important to establish getting closer to the goal. Had my booster shot on Saturday and that knocked me out but still had a 45 minute PR on the Peloton.
11/09 - 218.9 My body does not like the beginning of the week lol. I didn't work out so that definitely plays a factor but this is every Monday/Tuesday. Took progress pictures this morning though and it's honestly crazy to see beginning of weight loss vs now.
11/10 - 215.2 I was surprised so I weighed on the back-up scale and got the same number. I don't make the news, I just report it. 3 rides and a 1.25 mile walk with the pups between last weigh in and this also very light lunch. This number made my day to be honest.
11/11 - 215.6 Glad to see others aren't loving the new update. Everything seems ... big. Oh well it's day 1 so we'll get used to it I suppose. Glad to see that my weight didn't go up too much today!
11/12 - 214.2 Loved seeing this drop this morning! Great way to kick off the weekend where I always push myself harder working out. Have a goal of 212 by Thanksgiving which looks very attainable right now. Oh also I'm just overweight now? Bye obese!
11/13 - 213.4

11/15 - 211.9 Wow! Wow wow wow! As mentioned last time I wanted 212 by Thanksgiving (next Thursday for those not from the states). This is a very welcome surprise! It seems a few members here have had a nice drop this round. And those who haven't just keep going and it'll come!

11/08 - 180.2, ave 179.4
I had a fun day yesterday. I took my 4-mo-old puppy, Rory, to the local dog show and he earned his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate and his Novice Trick Dog title! It’s a huge show, but he did fine in the chaos of people, dogs, & noise. Here’s he is after doing his tricks.
11/09 - 180, ave 179.6
Ok, this makes sense since my calories have been very close to maintenance for the past week. Slowly dropping back down.
11/10 - 178, ave 179.2
Nice drop! I think it’s all the walking in obedience class, because my calories were barely below maintenance and I had some sherbet and some triscuits and cheese last night. Whatever! I’m off now for a walk with the pup, aiming for 3 miles. That’s about his limit for now, and will give me a little peace and quiet later!
11/11 -177.8, Ave 178.7
Cutting & pasting. Anyone know if there’s a place to give feedback on the “improved” format? 😤🤮🤯
11/12 - 180.6, Ave 179.2
My inner bear is trying to pack on weight for the winter. 🐻 Still not a fan of the new format, but I’m figuring in out.
11/13 - 180.8, Ave 179.6
Oh, yeah, cheese and ice cream and two oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Onward!
11/14 - 180, Ave 179.8
I ate too much again (but quite consciously!) and didn’t get my usual long walk, but I ate fully intending to cut my calories wayyyy back the rest of the week, so all good. I’m striving for not only weight loss but a sustainable way of eating that allows for a few days of cheeses and pastas, with my overall average intake lower. I’m finding this stops most cravings. I may not lose as fast as I could with more restriction, but as long as I’m trending downward over the long haul, that’s fine. And it’s snowing here!
11/15 - 180, Ave 179
I had to remove all my books from bookcases when our new floor went in a couple of weeks ago. This past weekend I “Marie Kondoed” them as I reshelved, and I have three big bags of books I’ll never reread (or read in some cases!) to redistribute, some to a nursing home, some to a used book store I frequent. I also organized my yarn stash so I can see what I have—I found a few nice surprises. And I feel so much lighter with those jobs done! I have to say that one benefit of being more home bound than ever these past 18 months is that I’ve become tidier, maybe because I can’t ignore any messes when I’m with them so much. I find I have less tolerance for stuff I don’t need or particularly like, so I’ve done a lot of cleaning out. Now I’m thinking of repainting my office because the color I loved 3.5 years ago isn’t comforting me anymore. Now off for a dog walk.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/07 …..189.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/08 …..189.2 ….. (Trend weight xxxxx) Not off to a great start with the scale. Late night snacks brought on by excessive hunger. I worked hard in the yard yesterday for over 3 hours and burned over 700 calories just in raking. Those calories can come in much faster than they leave!
11/09 …..189.6 ….. Trend weight xxxxx) No TMI again. Very early weigh-in after, essentially, no sleep and all those other excuses. Yesterday it was not on my daughter. It was on me. I know what good habits are. I know what low calorie is and what low carb can do to help me. I recognize the right foods. It’s time to stop glancing at it all and start staring at what I need to do. It has been out of control since just before my surgery.
11/10 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 188.6) I just realized my fitbit wasn’t linking to my trendweight.com so my trending weights have been off. I think It may have something to do with my daughter’s new fitbit I bought her for her birthday. It may be scrambling up my info. I found another way to get it in the meantime so I’ve included it today. Sheesh….this is worse than I thought or imagined!
11/11 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 188.6)
11/12 …..189.4 ….. (Trend weight 188.8) I can’t take this many changes at once on the new format. I will work on trying to get my spoiler available but hidden first in order to shorten my posts again. Dr. appointment yesterday for surgery follow-up. They are trying to find me a cardiologist and an endocrinologist within 100 miles of my home (rural area). They also have to accept my insurance. Wish me luck on that!!!!!
11/13 ……189.2….. (Trend weight 189.0) I am happy to see a smaller number on the scale. However my trend weight just keeps going up and is almost matching my weight. I made yesterday a better day with some better choices. I am aiming for another good day. I hope this challenge will keep going and that we will not lose so many important people. Each and every one of you offer insight and value and I appreciate you all!
11/14 …..191.0 ….. (Trend weight 189.2) Traveled yesterday. Weight showed up from dinner out and lots of car driving (inactivity). I’ll work it off today as much as possible. Heavy snow outside so nothing there due to slippery. One handyman coming today so I’ll have to get creative on exercise. Obviously I am disappointed that one meal would make such a negative difference.
11/15 …..191.0 ….. (Trend weight 189.3) I ate leftover Chinese food from my travel day. Other meals were good too. Snacks were definitely better. I honestly thought I would see a zero-point-something drop but not today. Something I have to look forward to, I guess.
11/16 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
11/17 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

11/8 216 (+.4) Hiked 6+ miles with my sister yesterday. It was a beautiful day in the mountains. I should be on a downward trend tomorrow. No scheduled exercise today, but I’ll be drinking lots of water.
11/9 215.4 (-.2) Today, I’m back in the pool. My low weight was last Friday. I had my indulgence meal Friday night and I’m still trying to catch back up. No hugs necessary. Just playing some mind games that come along with losing weight. As long as I stay focused, the whoosh will come.
11/10 213.6 (-2.0) This was my lowest weight last round so I’m glad to see it back on the scale today. Drank all my water yesterday and had a wonderful swim. No organized exercise today.
11/11 213.8 (-1.8) Today I’m meeting a friend for lunch, so I’ll have an indulgence meal. I’m sure I’ll be over calories, but I will be eating lighter for breakfast and dinner. Still on a downward trend overall.
11/12 214.2 (-1.4) I’ve been bouncing around in this area for the last ten days. I’m not surprised, but still a little frustrated. So I’m going to focus on eating right and exercising with the goal of being under 210 by the end of the month and leaving this struggle in the dust. Life’s been busy, in a good way, but I’m definitely not getting all my water in. Still logging and exercising, so it will come.
11/13 213.8 (-1.8) My weight is coming back down. Hoping for a new low this week. Swimming was great. No organized exercise today, but will be hiking with my sister tomorrow. Wow. We are already more than halfway through this round.
11/14 213.4 (-2.2) A new low…finally…
11/15 212.4 (-3.2) Yay! On November 1st, I weighed 215, so I’m really only down 2.6 pounds for the month, my slowest month of loss so far. I was feeling stuck and doing my best to stay on track. This feels really good today. My sister and I hiked almost five miles yesterday. No organized exercise on the schedule today, so I’ll drink my water and stay under calories.

Female, 5’7”
HW: 181 pounds (Dec 30, 2019)
RSW: 157.0 pounds (Nov 7, 2021, EO Round 167)
RGW: 154.0 pounds (-3.0 pounds)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/08: 157.0 - Well, I really need to focus on my eating. I’ve kind of been on autopilot with meals, but these last 4 days I was going back to some bad habits (eating even after I knew I was at the top end of my calories). When I’m not in my usual routine is when I get derailed. That means two things: I need to figure this out for upcoming holidays and travel, and I need to get back on track here at home and not let this short slide turn into a longer one.
11/09: 156.5 - Did my usual Jazzercise workout and normal meals with the exception of the last of the birthday cake.
11/10: 157.6 - Hmmm, too much salt? Too much cake?
11/11: 156.5 - Yesterday was a normal workout and eating. Been hovering around the same 2 pounds since the beginning of the month.
11/12: 155.4 - Finally, it took about a week to get back to where I was in the last round after parties and travel.
11/13: 155.4 - Was hungry all day yesterday but stuck to my calories (barely) and did a long walk
11/14: 154.8 - A new low. First time in over a week to be below 155. 1 hour Jazzercise. Salad for lunch and pizza and wine for dinner.
11/15: 154.8 - A friendsgiving dinner was difficult to track, so just added a bulk 1000 calories.

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 2.2 pounds9 -
@quiltingjaine You are an inspiration to us! Change is not easy. For me I copy and paste at work. Which is why I rarely post on the weekends. I know the spoiler thing is still a challenge for me. I need a workout challenge...However you all know that my issues are mental health right now. I did a puzzle this weekend which was extremely gratifying for me. It keeps me focused.11

@ashleycarole86 Such a wonderful achievement!4

@musicsax thank you for posting the next round!
@39flavours I get bloated and miserable from carbs not salt. One issue I have had is cramping in my feet so in the evening I eat pink salt. What ever trace minerals are in it make a difference.2
