5/7: DNW - Note to self: At the age 42 you can not have 3-4 vodka tonics in one night and stay out until 2am singing karaoke. You will be hungover for two days and feel like death.
5/8: 220.2 (-2.2) - Happy Mother’s Day to all you mama’s out there. I attribute my “woosh” to being too hungover to eat yesterday. Awful. Never again! Zero stars, do not recommend. Met none of my goals yesterday. Will probably not meet them today. Back on track tomorrow.
5/9: 222.0 (+1.8) - 5/9: 222.0 (+1.8) - Actually hit my water and nutrition/macro goals yesterday. Over on calories, but still under maintenance. My boys took me to a fancy brunch, but I made good choices overall. They made me extra cute cards and got me tickets for all 4 of us to see Bob Dylan in a few weeks. My husband also cleaned up my garden beds for me, so I’ll be planting the rest of my veggie starts all week, for some good summer eats.

5/10: 221.7 (-.3) - Met all my goals, ate clean, slept awful. Volunteer in DS2’s class today. I always burn so many calories with those peanuts even though I just read with them 😆 (they are 1st graders.) Have a great day, everyone!
5/11: 220.2 (-1.5) - Met all my goals. Sun shining here. Really helps me stay on track when it’s not miserable out. ☀️

Let’s do this! I had a nice vacation at the end of April that acted as a kind of reset really. Now I’m ready to dive back in and make my way to goal.
Goals this challenge- 11,000 steps/day; Pelo 2-3x week; strength training 2-3x week.
SW: 188.8
5/7- 188.2
5/8- 185.6
5/9- 182.6
5/10- 181.6 Pre Disney weight! Been battling COVID since last week though- the entire house has it right now, while DH is out of town on business- he is no longer positive, lucky! Kids can’t go back to school until they test negative. I’m already exhausted, and it’s only Tuesday.

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
12th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.
Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
RSW: 236.6
UGW for now: 195, then reevaluate
Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully
Day/Weight/Comment
5/7 236.2 - sick
5/8 236.4 – sick but better than yesterday. Got cinnamon rolls, Ben & Jerry’s and a luscious cookbook for Mother’s Day. (Obviously kid missed the weight-loss memo.) Had a cinnamon roll and some ice cream, but within calories.
5/9 235 Still not feeling great but seeing that number this morning was a boost. I have had a cold all last week/weekend (not COVID) but I was very aware of still drinking water and eating reasonably, and I guess it helped. Hoping to go back to the gym this afternoon for a small weights workout (knee rehab) but I’ll probably skip cardio until the cough/congestion goes away.
5/10 233.6 Not sure what’s going on but I’ll take it. Skipped the gym yesterday; by the end of the day I was exhausted. Quick dinner of leftovers and bed. Hoping to feel better soon.
5/11 234.2 Couldn’t deal with making dinner last night so we had takeout – within calories but the sodium was high. I know I’ll bounce around a bit after the recent losses, too. Time to drink some more water and stay on plan!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/7: - DNW - backpacking
5/8: 133.2 - I’m pretty sure I’ll bounce up again now that we’re back home. Didn’t eat much for breakfast or lunch but it was high calorie stuff (lots of peanut butter things). Dinner was also high calorie, but didn’t counteract the 10.5 mile hike. Did not drink enough water and consequently woke up in the middle of night thirsty.
5/9: 133.8 - Normal workouts although a little sedentary the rest of the day. Had Indian takeout for dinner, so high on carbs. Slept well.
5/10: 134.5 - Normal workout, normal eating with leftover Indian for dinner.
5/11: 134 - Normal workouts, but did not stay within calories yesterday. I was so hungry after the dentist and there was homemade bread cooling on the counter. Not a good combination.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/06 …..203.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/07 …..201.0 ….. (Trend weight 202.8) Yay, trend weight down from 203.0 and 2.4 lbs down on the scale. I felt pretty week yesterday. I think sugar was up from stress. Having trouble with my primary handyman (the slow one) so I’m going to have to replace him. Only 3200 steps yesterday but, of course, my appetite never suffers. I found myself eating a little more healthy when my daughter brought home a rotissary chicken and bread cut into teeny tiny little slices. A much small quantity than usual. Pay attention Donna! Remember, you can’t outrun the fork! Less food works! Anyhoo, good luck everyone this round. Let’s get ready for many sunny days ahead!
05/08 …..201.0 ….. Trend weight 202.7) Happy Mother’s Day everyone! Weight stayed the same which is okay after a big drop yesterday. Trend weight still trending down so I’m very happy. It gives me hope. I hope you all will enjoy a beautiful day. I will be taken out for dinner but will try to choose wisely. Ah, so many flowers delivered to me by our new florist in the next town. What thoughtful kids I have!
05/09 …..200.8 ….. (Trend weight 202.5) I just couldn’t get full last night! Luckily I had a good day full of mindful choices which ended up offsetting it. Down 0.2 is better than the gain I expected. I’ll be watching the scale, sometimes it creeps up later!
05/10 …..203.2 ….. (Trend weight 202.5) My birthday! Not a very nice present on the scale this morning. Pretty good dietary choices yesterday which kept it under 1600 (my normal is under 1400). Moderate exercise. I had a big bump down, now a big jump right back up. I don’t always understand how this works for me but I do know that TMI is likely part of this equation today. Dinner out tonight with a friend and at a later time with my oldest daughter (maybe next week?)
05/11 …..204.0 ….. (Trend weight 202.7) I thought my dinner out yesterday was very reasonable. Very light breakfast and applesauce for snack. Hmph! Maybe birthday and mother’s day all coming at me at once on the scale. Tonight, another dinner for birthday. Home cooked meal with steak, potato etc. at one of my children’s houses. I’ll keep my day light again. Maybe get out more and MOVE in the yard.

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

5/7 118.0 GKI 4.4
5/8 119.0 GKI 14.0 Two nights of great sleep. OMAD yesterday was a keto chicken popper casserole. Then Bloody Maria = tomato juice = carbs and popcorn! AND NO TMI x2 Drinking Miralax
5/9 119.5 GKI 7.0 Mother’s Day at Great Greek with DD#2 and family. She and I split a bottle of Chardonnay and had large Greek salads. Waiting for TMI 😁
5/10 118.0 GKI 13.0 OMAD was chicken popper casserole from Saturday, ate 1 portion of Quest protein chips as snack. Popper casserole recipe needs to be studied since it seems it has shot my GKI up both times I ate it. Going to a baseball game tonight.
5/11 118.5 GKI 12.7 Apparently even Mama Lola’s 1 carb yellow corn tortillas cause a reaction. OMAD 3 tacos at 2:30, noting at the ball game and walked more than double the usual steps. Ballgame was pathetic. My granddaughters could have played better.6 -

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/7 / 169 / Looks like things are coming back down now. As I've gotten to a lower weight, I notice the weight retention during my TOM so much more. Interesting observation. I have a Zoom call with a group I'm part of on MFP later today and also hope to ride.
5/8 / 167.6 / Last night my husband and I split a bottle of riesling in the hot tub and then I still had to do my Peloton ride. Not the best order - lol. Still happy I followed through with the workout I wanted to do anyway. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers today!
5/9 / 164.6 / First weigh-in posted within my desired maintenance range of 160-165. Nice to get a taste of it and to see the whoosh after my TOM as well. I am happy. This feels like such an important time. The fear of slippage remains strong - I suspect that will be with me for a long, long time. Today MAY be a rest day on the bike, but if my husband goes out biking with a friend after work I'll use my down time to bike and shift my rest day to later this week. Have to be very strategic with my time during the work week.
5/10 / 164.4 / Having a bit of an off day mentally. My husband is sick, I pulled the car forward into cement in the parking garage, almost ran out of gas, and just a few other things. By the time I was at the gas station (that was also a 7-11) I almost had myself convinced that going in for a treat would fix everything. Reminded myself that while a treat COULD be worked into the day, I was thinking about it for the wrong reasons. Left without the impulse buy, enjoyed my supper, and had a planned treat after my evening walk instead.
5/11 / 165.2 / Peloton ride done and I also walked over 13,000 steps. My husband is still dealing with stomach issues so things are pretty relaxed at home... hoping he's on the mend.

5/12 - 152.5 - Could've been lower but we ate out last night. I do look/feel more bloated than anything but I think that's salt. I broke the CV joint (or part of the axle) on the car about 6 miles from home last night. I managed to limp it home but BF went out for test drive and confirmed my description, as well as talked to FamHub (he's a pretty dang good mechanic on the side) about possible issues. Pushed our dinner prep out a bit because of it all, ultimately getting dinner out so I could be in bed at a decent-ish time. Lunch today is the last personal pizza we had because BigBro eats everything in the house unless it's under lock and key. It was the last work-ready lunch without staying up to cook, defeating the whole purpose of eating out anyway. At least he didn't eat my baked oatmeal, strawberries, or last banana so I have SOMETHING nutritious until dinner.

Previous Day's Comments5/07 - DNP

5/09 - It's a combination of several things: 1. Mother's Day dinner Saturday with Fam (very high sodium), 2. Working outside in triple digit temps (couldn't keep up water no matter what I did, though I gave it a solid effort.) 3. Waiting on some TMI 4. Pre-TOM bloat is in FULL FORCE. I'm not terribly worried, I can feel and see this is 100% bloat/water weight. If my body cooperates (mainly referring to TOM here), this should drop down in the next day or two. Will be focusing heavily on water today and tomorrow as well to help flush some of that out. Quite happy the timing was beginning of the round giving me several days to bounce back down, assuming I behave the rest of the round teehee
5/10 - Still waiting on TOM and TMI to cooperate, but it's progress! I was running behind on water but managed to get all 90oz in without having to wake up for bathroom breaks, yippee. Homemade venison burgers last night. Same for lunch today with street tacos tonight. I have 3 more of my peanut butter banana baked oatmeal bars for today, tomorrow, and Thursday to get me through on breakfasts this week. Will be looking to maybe make a quiche for breakfast next week? Still up in the air on that. I've got a few days to decide. Super sleepy as it's been very hard for me to fall asleep the last couple nights. It was almost 9pm last night before I fell asleep but when I finally did, I didn't even wake up to BF and pup coming to bed (and I'm usually such a light sleeper, I'll wake up before they even make it in the door). Tonight/tomorrow morning is shower so that'll cut into sleep again. Thinking of bird bathing again and focusing on sleep, I feel I desperately need it. I was petrified I'd fall asleep on my drive in this morning so I blasted arctic air on myself the entire drive. Still shivering, but made it alive! I also applied for county engineer online. Got a call back from the county office asking me to do their old school paper application so I'm waiting on one last bit of reference information to submit it. It'll still be working outside the house, but it's MUCH closer (I live in that county, furthest I'd have to go is about 25-30 minutes away). The lady obviously looked at my resume as she knew I lived there and worked in San Antonio and still called to tell me to properly apply so I'm taking that as a good start. BF also applied to a job yesterday. It'll require a lot more travel so me getting a remote or close-to-home job is imperative because of BigBro (he's not allowed to drive so he needs driven to/from school. 2 cars officially totaled now. Plus used car market is CRAZY and we are still looking). Here's to hoping for good news all around (and if you've read this far, I hope you get some crazy good news as well )
5/11 - It's progress but the mirror and scale did not communicate well this morning haha! I was quite happy to see the very obvious bloat disappear in the mirror. Then the scale decided to play tricks on me. I feel lighter and less weighed down by TMI and TOM (finally got body to cooperate there yesterday). The scale should catch up. Lunch is leftover street tacos (which turned into street taco burrito because we only had burrito-sized tortillas). No veggies as I ate my last steamable pack, they're on my grocery list for Friday. Didn't have enough strawberries for these next two days so I split strawberries and added banana to make up the smaller portion. BF wasn't sure of dinner tonight so I'll be going in blind tonight. Will try to behave throughout the day to account for that. Water has been good (90oz streak is back) and plan to continue that today. Also absolutely passed out last night and didn't hear BF or the pup come to bed. I was tired. Still tired, but functional at least. Hopefully that also helps in the weight realm.
