Round 178 (110th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Need to knuckle down now and make each round count, DS's wedding is later this spring & I want to feel happy with myself on the day. Aim this round to be lower than the start, concentrate on good food choices & think before I put anything in my mouth!!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!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.SW: 138.6

Day/Weight/Comment
2/16 138.6 - Wet all day yesterday, managed some jogging in place only before going out for afternoon tea to celebrate DS 60 +1 birthday ( postponed from last year as we were in lockdown!!) Suffice to say calories & all macros over, but stopped at that! Will make today count as a counter balance to yesterday.
2/17 138.6 - 10.56 miles walked yesterday plus an hours yoga, but I ate back all the calories !
2/18 138.6 - 7.81 miles walked, 29 & 37 calories & carbs over respectively, no mindless grazing or binging. Take care out in those storms today; Eunice is not kind, keep safe !!
2/19 137.8 – 5.05 miles in small window – calm before the storm, so went dancing last night to burn some calories, only sat out for 4 dances, a good night and chance to practice all our ballroom & latin dances. Calories under, carbs19g over, no mindless grazing/binging
2/20 138 – no structured walking, storm Eunice !! So, travelled up to DS to help decorate through his basement & their bedroom; DH & DS decorated whilst I took care of DDGs & DIL cooked our meals & acted as goffa. We stayed over last night to carry on today.
2/21 138.8 – again storms prevented any walking & continued to help DS with home decorating, not much control over meals as DIL prepared, but enjoyed playing with DGDs. Back to normal today, hopefully manage a window for a walk within the storm today.

2/16 171.2 going steadily
2/17. 171.7 realistic - did mindless emotional snacking last night . Must drink more water . Since having CoVid I seem to be more dehydrated and I wasn’t great at water consumption before.
2/18. 172.5 stop ✋ mindless snacking again !
2/19 173 oh blimey 😧 staying in group cos got to stop this trend
2/20 172.5
2/21 170.7 thank you body for responding - this just shows that consistency is the key for me. So many times I would have just “given up” unfortunately that was on myself . I’m not saying those days are completely over but, I can see them more for what they were- a form of self sabotage.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/16 - 146 - I think Super Bowl Sunday just caught up with me. Sometimes it takes a couple days. I've been eating well the past couple days so this should hopefully come back down.
2/17 - 145.5 - I'm tracking my food and getting in my steps.
2/18 - 145.5 - I'll be measuring and weighing all my food this weekend.
2/19 - 146 - I measured 400 calories worth of pizza last night which kept me in my calorie range. However, the carbs and sodium bumped up my weight this morning. I have my catered lunch in the office today. I made good choices last week and plan to make good choices today.
2/20 - 145.5 - I was not as good as I had hoped yesterday. I'm sure the weight will show up in the next day or two.
2/21 - 147 - I had visitors, high sodium food, and not enough water. I'll start taking care of the weekend damage today.

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.

This sloth actually increased his heart rate last evening for the first time in a while.
Which reminds me of my favorite super bowl commercial, where the sloth made a dash for the Doritos.

Not much to report today.
Yesterday I bought a new phone. (All the better to read your posts my dear.) There was a short period of limbo where my old phone was disabled, but my new phone wasn’t fully populated with apps to my liking. I felt like I was in no-man’s land. THAT is an aspect of our culture that I am not happy about.
I feel like the monkey who can get his hand in the narrow opening of the cookie jar, but when he grasps a cookie, he can’t get it out without letting go of the cookie. I bought a new “cookie jar” yesterday that I carry around with me wherever I go.

Snowy winter this year!
I got a bit of exercise doing some snow removal yesterday.
Worked from home. I can not understand those who say they get more done working from home. Their work-place environments must be chaos.

Celebrated Chinese New Year with some good friends yesterday. Our friends have spent significant time living in China, so they know which local restaurant does the best job of creating authentic cuisine. So good…and salty. Calories were reasonable.

This is a surprise, as I was a bit over calorie goal yesterday. Otoh, I find that I often drop a bit after a higher day following several low ones. Anyway, I have today planned.

That’s a pleasant surprise. I went a bit over calories yesterday. Maybe it will catch up with me, but for now, I’ll take this. It’s super cold here today but supposed to warm up tomorrow. Crazy February, swinging from single digits F to 50 and back. But spring will be here soon! Enjoy your Saturday.

Whaaa? Obviously I didn’t gain 3.2 pounds of fat overnight. I don’t feel particularly puffy, but it has to be mostly water. We did have mac & cheese for dinner, so more heavy wheat carbs than usual, but still. Sigh. Oh, well, we’ll see what happens tomorrow. It’s soup day! I’m making ginger chicken vegetable. New recipe, sounds good! Have a lovely Sunday, all.
2/21 - 178.8, 178.6
A little better. It’s always a shocker how easy it is to add, how difficult to subtract. But it will all come back off, and I’m determined to have a loss this round!

2/16 / 180 / Up early to ride and then I went out to get my husband a special breakfast for his birthday. Work flew by and then we went to Calgary for a fun dinner out. The week of events is almost over, it's been fun for sure!
2/17 / 179.8 / Off to try tubing at Lake Louise Ski Hill (since my husband and I don't ski or snowboard).
2/18 / 180.2 / Back to work today and then it's a three day weekend since it's Family Day on Monday here in Alberta. The cold weather has mostly returned but we have lots of fun planned regardless.
2/19 / 180.2 / Working on my taxes today and watching a movie on Netflix with my Mom. I have a lower body strength day or cycling workout I can do (or both!) It's the only warm day of the weekend as well so we're going to enjoy it.
2/20 / 181.6 / Had another strength training session yesterday. Today I will be back on the Peloton. We are getting a lot of snow here so I'll be out shoveling that shortly as well.
2/21 / 180.6 / Did my long ride last night (60 minutes on the Peloton). Feeling pretty sore today but hoping to get in a total body strength workout for my exercise. There is a lot of snow and it's quite cold so the dog won't want to accompany me for a walk outside today. It's a holiday here in Alberta so it's nice to have one extra day off!

2/16- 195.6 (-1.8) Hmmm…this isn’t my lowest weight, but part of the bouncing that’s been happening since the beginning of the month. I’m back on plan and started yesterday after ten days of a maintenance break. My lowest weight earlier in the month was 195.2. I’m happy to be getting close and hope to blow right past that in the next week. I swam yesterday. Today is a busy day so no organized exercise. Just lots of water.
2/17- 194.4 (-3.0) There it is. A new low. I’ve been focused on drinking all my water and staying on plan the last few days. I’ve lost over 24% of my starting weight and am 2/3rds of the way to my goal weight of 160. Woohoo! I’m so glad I took a break instead of getting frustrated.
2/18- 193.4 (-4.0) It’s amazing how my body responds after a maintenance break. I’m down 1.8 pounds from my previous low weight. I was a little over calories yesterday and didn’t quite get all my water in. I’ll do better today, because I’m swimming which usually gives me an additional 600+ calories. I eat back a little over half. My next mini-goal? To be in the 180’s.
2/19- 193.6 (-3.8) Swimming was wonderful yesterday with the exception of some leg cramping. I need to figure out what to add to my diet that will help. I’m also starting to get more leg cramps overnight. I’ve added bananas and a bit of salt to my diet. I’m going to start taking a multi-vitamin and see what happens. Today is no formal exercise. I’d usually have an indulgence meal around this time of the week, but I’m going to hold off until next week since I just started back on plan.
2/20- 193.8 (-3.6) Heading out today to walk with my sister. Our normal hiking trails still have lots of snow, so we’ll walk on a beautiful path in the city. I’m not sure why I’m bumping up a little each day, but still really happy to be where I am. Would love to be in the 180’s by the end of the month.
2/21- 193.4 (-4.0) My sister and I had fun walking yesterday with the dogs. It was a beautiful day and nice to spend a Sunday with her. I’ve been so busy, it’s been easy not to focus on eating so I have more calories at dinner time. No organized exercise today, so I’ll stay on plan. We took progress photos yesterday. I was in my 2x sweatshirt since it was a bit chilly. Still, when I looked at the picture, what struck me is I looked like most other people and would easily fit into a crowd without standing out because of my size. I also would be just as happy to stand in the front row instead of hiding in the back, which is what I would have done in the past. I’m still smiling this morning Happy Monday. Let’s make it an amazing week!8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/15 …..196.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/16 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.7) Good luck everyone this round. Welcome old friends and new! This scale reading is a couple of good days in a row of diet and movement finally showing up in a bigger better way. Yesterday was another very good day on both fronts until…..that late night bagel Starving!) with honey butter on it and the handful of jolly ranchers (couple hundred calories?). Glad I didn’t sabotage the scale with it, unless it shows up later……To be continued.
02/17 …..196.0 ….. Trend weight 195.7) Back to square one. I’m not sure why I’m jumping up & down by about 1 ½ pounds pretty consistently lately, but it’s annoying. I did have a late night snack of ham roll-ups which I though would be okay since they are lower carb, but I didn’t think it would cause a 1.6 lb gain. This is probably showing up from the jolly ranchers the other night, but that is still a lot of weight. Hoping for a better tomorrow.
02/18 …..194.2 ….. (Trend weight 195.6) Well, after what appeared to be a very serious house fire filled with smoke I found out that it was my well pump that burned up. Smoke got into the cold air register making the smoke get transferred to all 3 floors. Breathing was difficult but it was obvious it was something I could shut down at it’s electrical box. Now, no water until God Himself know. Rural area here. Limited resources. Need a 1.5 HP jet deep well pump with dual inlet. Can’t seem to find one anywhere in America. I would like new, but I can’t even find one used. House size requires no less than that. And the well man (only one in my town) is not sure he knows how to even install this type. I have no idea what I am going to do at this point. Smdh. No answers.
02/19 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.4) I just need water. To drink, to bathe, to do dishes, to do laundry, to wash my hands! No answers. Where are my husband and brother when you need them? Oh, that’s right. They are in heaven. Maybe God will help then. Prayers requested please.
02/20 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 195.5) The up & down of the 1.5 pounds is really getting annoying! Great quantities yesterday. Steps & movement back up again. No snacks whatsoever. I think maybe it was the choices even though I am sure they were all within proper calorie levels. Gotta trust & move forward I guess.
02/21 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 195.6) A better week for sure but the renovations are still limiting my ability to exercise or get in enough movement, as well as my privacy. My short term goal is to hit the 180’s again and then hang on for dear life. I am picturing the man from “Up” holding on to those balloons. I need to get moving, hang on for dear life but enjoy the ride! Oh, and I need to keep promises….even to myself.

OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-149
2/17-171- Went out to a birthday dinner for a friend. Tried to make wise choices; did not order a drink (or two) like everyone else, but had two big glasses of water instead.
2/18-168-Heading into the weekend lower, hopefully that will help. I need to get back to walking now that the almond trees are in full bloom, not only is it beautiful, but ALL of the bees are very busy!
2/19-168-Quiet weekend ahead, I have sprouted a bunch of seeds and they need transplanting and that takes time. Horse, quilting and a walk.....
2/20-168-Transplanted a bunch of seedlings I sprouted and rode the horse. Made keto pizza I believe @quiltingjaine had the recipe link on here; it uses ground pork rinds and was really good.
2/21-DNW-Had part of a steak and some little red potatoes, rode the horse and gardened.7 -

2/17 251.6 Back to PT again and my knee is already feeling better, which is a relief. Meals are planned and logged for today. Trying protein pasta for the first time tonight, with chicken and a little pesto. Major NSV yesterday – tried on a fitted shirt I hadn’t worn in three months (because it was tight) and it was loose through the torso!
2/18 251.4 Headed out of town for the weekend with hubby so no scales, no food weighing. Going to make good choices but also enjoy myself.

2/21 252.4 Well honestly, I expected that to be worse. Lots of steps logged, though, so I’m sure that helped. We had a great weekend but now back to work (on many levels). Meals for today are planned and logged. Going to hit the water hard and try to get rid of this.

20: 196.2 Lots of physical activity planned for the day doing some bathroom and kitchen repairs. Will focus (more than usual) on lots of water today and tomorrow, along with less leniency on my carb intake. 1.2 pounds in 2 days. I've lost that overnight! Feeling like I've got this. Even if I don't quite reach this goal, I'm really happy with my progress and consistency over the last two months. Reaching my pre-motherhood weight actually feels attainable...more than it ever has in the past, even when I was at a lower weight than this!
21: 196.2 🥚 If I'm gonna make this goal, I guess I'll have to lose 1.2 pounds overnight. Lol Not looking real promising with hormones, but we'll see what tomorrow brings.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Round 178 (my 1st)
SW: 266
Day/Weight/Comment
2/16: 201 - Quiet day, no surprises.
2/17: 200.4 - grocery shopping today. Got lots of healthy food.
2/18: 199.0 - loads of housework completed. Received my new water bottle from Amazon.
2/19: 199.0 - no gain or loss. Didn’t get all my walks in yesterday. I ate dinner a little later than normal and it got dark so I couldn’t take my normal after dinner walk (which is my longest walk of the day).
2/20: 196.4 - I think I caught a stomach bug in the morning which accounts for the big drop in weight. But, I got my walks in later in the day and was okay to eat healthy.
2/21: 196.4 - No change in weight which I’ll take as a win. Got all my walks done and took some time for myself. I did some reading and let myself relax.

2/19 ~ 203.4. * 13,000 steps /74 min active/ Lunch ✔️ Dinner was a salad at Wendys after Costco trip. Big walk/ hike today I hope. Enjoy your Saturday!
2/20 ~ 201.9. *21,800 steps/150 active/ lunch✔️ Dinner✔️ - SO just called and he’s coming home early from work, mixed feelings about this as I love him dearly but I do much better with my healthy eating while he’s away. Plus it’s easier to walk as he’s works away so much (3-5 weeks at a time) makes it hard to leave for an hour. I just started getting back. He’s the chef in the family and likes to spoil me, but we did talk about my goals and I’m sure he’ll support me. 🍀 Walk today and meal prep lunches unsure about dinners right now.
2/21 ~ 201.9 *30,400 steps/ 225 min, preplanning out the window. Went on a 20K walk, weather was beautiful. Sleep was terrible but tonight should be much better.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/16: 142.4 - We had a belated Valentine’s Day dinner last night. I made cioppino and a honey-almond tart. I needed every minute of exercise to fit this all in to my calories for the day.
2/17: 142.2 - Same workout and meals as yesterday. Good sleep.
2/18: 142.2 - Did interval training for my workout plus a walk. Ate within calories and still finishing leftovers.
2/19: 142.0 - Another interval training set and a short walk. Calories and carbs high, but within goals.
2/20: 142.0 - Normal workout, normal eating, okay sleep.
2/21: 140.7 - Whoosh! I have now lost over 30 pounds since I started back on this journey on Sep 7, 2021. I’m also pretty sure this is the lowest I’ve weighed since having kids (they are now 29 and 26). I did my normal exercises and ate okay, but did do some snacking. I think I didn’t drink as much water as I should have and felt dehydrated this morning when I woke up. I suspect I’ll see a bump up tomorrow. Did not sleep well.
