    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.

    05/12 …..204.6 ….. (Trend weight 202.9) Birthday dinner yesterday was delicious and healthy. Long travel today so leaving early. No TMI x2.

    05/13 …..202.6 ….. (Trend weight 202.8) 2 pounds down overnight after an extremely long travel, restricted movement, low steps and two meals in restaurants. I’m surprised, but not completely. Finally TMI this morning and over 7 hours of sleep last night! Amazing what those things can do to make a difference!

    05/14 …..202.8 ….. (Trend weight 202.8) Scale is about the same as yesterday. No TMI., 5 hours of sleep, but lots of steps yesterday and calorie burn due to working in the yard cleaning up 3 dead trees that I had cut down. Had to take lots of breathing breaks due to some heart issues. I hope the cardiologist can help on my first ever appointment June 1st.

    05/15 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

    05/16 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    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.

    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.
    5/12 120.5 GKI 12.9 Celebration of life last evening at her favorite area steakhouse. Apps were not low carb.
    5/13 120.5 GKI 12.9 A beautiful coyote walked through the back yard this morning. That hasn’t happened since????

    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 / 164.6
    5/13 / 161.8 / Had a big wine night last night and my normal check-in fell to the wayside. Not a normal occurence for me and I definitely paid for it this morning! Feeling back to normal now. Husband is well enough for us to head to the lake tonight which is great.
    5/14 / 163.8 / Had a poor sleep last night as I was up in the washroom quite a bit. Hoping for a nice sunshine filled day at the lake. We go home after supper tonight as we have a morning adventure in the mountains tomorrow. First hot dog cook of the season today but we forgot the BBQ grill so we'll be making them in the air fryer.

    05/06 ~ 179.0


    05/07 - 177.5 - 18;000 steps and 124 minutes. Well that’s a drop. Todays plan get a good walk in. Wrap Moms gift in pretty paper that I need to find. Wrap SOs birthday gift. Get some meal planning started and some housework. Housework will probably get pushed. Hope you all achieve your goals today… We got this!
    05/08 - 177.3 - 15,300 and 66. Got steps and minutes in but did’t actually go on a ‘walk’. Did get some housework done FINALLY! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms and a special thought to those who we have lost ❤️. My 2 boys are going on a hike with me today. Looking forwards to that ♥️
    05/09 - 177.6 - 13,100 and 97 AND 60 flights of stairs!! Hiked one of the local mountains with my 2 boys, was a wonderful day and I did it with ease. So enjoyed my day! Now calories in was a little higher then usual with a few glasses of wine and an appy lunch then randomly invited to the youngest girlfriends parents house for dinner and dessert. Didn't log as I have no idea what to post! So very happy with the scale this morning! Sadly SO called to say he's not coming home as scheduled hopefully when he does he can stay a little longer then usual.
    05/10 - 177.8 - 17,800 and 124. Everything is on target and going well.
    05/11 - 176.6 - 17,800 and 130. Miss calculated a butter tart and probably under ate, as I am really hungry this morning! My youngest is going to Nicaragua on Friday and I'm starting to feel anxious, but I am aware that anxiety is a trigger for me so...? Here is to the next 12 days!!
    05/12 - 176.3 - 19,700 and 134. Forgot my protein this morning, and I ate my desk emergency tuna yesterday because I was super hungry ... it's going to be a long day!! I should be able to walk over to the store and find something if I'm not too busy.
    05/13 - 176.7 - 20,500 and 133. SO is on his way home, yay! Eating plan might be a bit off but I will try to at least maintain and after he rests up will push for him to walk/hike with me. Add on my son going to Nicaragua this will be an interesting week or so. Happy Friday all.

    05/14 - 175.9 -17,000 and 110. SO got home and we went out for sushi. Weather is rain rain rain so going for a walk with SO might not happen. Gotta get my walk in though.

    I have about 2726 kg to lose. I use measurements (cm) because they aren't affected by salt intake. My weight has been dropping for 2 months now. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

    Heaviest ever 1 Jan 2021, goal+31 kg

    Round 181 86.5 down to 86.1 cm
    Round 182 86.0 down to 85.7 cm
    Round 183 85.8 down to 85.1 cm
    Round 184 85.3 down to 84.7 cm
    Round 185 84.7 down to 84.3 cm

    105.5 100.5 105.5 60.0 50.0 58.0 48.5 105.5 104.5 105.5 7th
    104.0 101.0 105.0 61.0 49.5 60.0 48.5 103.0 101.0 105.0 8th
    105.0 103.5 105.5 60.0 49.0 60.0 48.0 106.5 105.0 106.5 9th
    105.0 102.0 106.0 60.5 49.0 59.0 48.0 105.5 105.5 106.0 10th
    105.5 103.0 105.0 61.5 49.0 59.0 48.0 105.0 103.0 106.0 11th
    105.0 100.0 105.5 62.0 50.0 59.0 49.0 104.0 100.5 104.5 12th
    104.0 100.0 106.0 62.5 49.5 58.5 47.5 104.0 99.5 105.5 13th
    103.5 103.5 104.0 61.5 48.5 60.0 46.5 104.0 99.5 105.5 14th
    bolded numbers means dropped by 0.5 cm
    plugging these numbers into my spreadsheet I get a trendline of 84 down to 82.9 cm

    How I'm going: I started running and I've gone one day without sugar so far. I'm eating at the level I want to eat some days, however I really need to speed up my weight loss, 24 months to reach goal weight is probably longer than preferred. Another kilogram dropped which is nice.
