6: 204.5 ♀️ Chinese buffet last night. Stayed away from noodles, rice, and breaded items. Got up way too early to get my son to early morning training session for football. Not sure I'll have the energy to get on the elliptical today. Maybe after a nap.

11: 197.3 Leaving tomorrow morning for our 6-day cabin vacation. I decided to bring my scale with me. Meals are planned with one treat dessert and a couple of meals out where I'll stick to my plan as much as possible while still enjoying myself.

6/6 / 160.4 / Worked from home with a Peloton ride at lunch. The rainy weather stopped me from taking my dog for her walk as she hates getting her paws wet, and rather than go out on my own I did a 10 minute strength workout instead.
6/7 / 162.2 / Last day in office before I start a string of corporate events including golf and field tours. I will get some form of exercise in tonight but I have lots to get organized.
6/8 / 162.2 / Round of golf today for work. Should get plenty of steps!
6/9 / 160.8
6/10 / DNW
6/11 / 163.2 / I was away on business Thursday and Friday with no down time. 5 hour drive to the location, a round of golf, supper and drinks, and then the next morning we did field tours and then hit the road again. I am at the lake for the weekend.

6/6 184.8 SW. I'm feeling better after a week back on MFP, eating well and exercising. Just adjusted my macros for higher protein and continuing with exercise routine. Walking, cycling and strength training are my go to's. Love reading everyone's comments and encouragements.
6/7 183.6 Always nice to see the scale go down, but remembering that there will be little ups and downs all week.....Busy day at work, and have a bike ride with dear husband after work to look forward to.
6/8- 183.6 It rained yesterday so the bike ride didn't happen, but I did 45 minutes of Jessica Smith workouts instead. Tried kickboxing--which was fun and harder than I expected. Does anyone else know Jessica Smith? If you are getting back into exercise, she has tons of free workouts on YouTube. The variety is great and it's easy to do in your own house.
6/9- 182.8 Okay, I'll take this! Just read a post yesterday that recommended "eating back your exercise calories" to make sure you don't lose too quickly. Does anyone have experience with that? In 2016, I lost 65 lbs in about 8 months--it was an
unsustainable program for me and I put it all back on and then some. The post said that loosing too quickly messes with your hunger and fullness hormones.....This kind of makes sense to me. I'm pretty active so on the days when I burn a lot from a long bike ride or a hike--I'll try eating more--but keeping it healthy--and see what happens.
6/10 - 182.8 I guess I forgot to log this yesterday?
6/11- 182.8 Same weight for three days---hoping for a decrease tomorrow. I felt a little discouraged yesterday--usually feel this at night when I am tired--so I just went to bed. Feeling more motivated this morning. This is when I have to lean in to consistency and keep doing the things--I start to get discouraged when the weight loss slows even though I know slow loss is normal and healthy. Any one else struggle with that?

I couldn't find the post, but I think you recommended KT tape for foot pain? I got some and hope it will help. My foot feels a bit better and its raining here today which cancelled our pickleball game. Probably a good thing to give my foot a rest.4 -

6/6: - DNW - backpacking
6/7: 133.2 - I was super hungry yesterday after a very long hike with a 20 pound pack on. Even with the pack on, I was carrying 20 pounds less than when I started this journey 9 months ago. Imagine hauling around almost 40 pounds more day in, day out. I stayed within my calories, but once again did go high on sugar, carbs and fat.
6/8: 133.2 - Although I’m holding steady weight wise, I don’t feel like I am. Haven’t taken any waist or hip measurements, but my clothes feel just a *tad* snugger. Ate past my limit yesterday and I’m not sure I was actually hungry in the end.
6/9: 132.9 - I was busy making bread yesterday so my whole schedule was thrown off and didn’t do everything (eat, workout) until much later than normal.
6/10: 132.9 - normal workouts. Carb heavy eating.
6/11: 134.9 - Went out for Thai food last night - all the way from appetizers, drinks to dessert. Got my workout in despite the 95+ F degree weather.

@goodhealthbestlife hang in there my friend. You are doing great & you‘ve got the right mindset, consistency. I think we all feel that discouragement from time to time. Remember it‘s going to Yo-Yo some, this is part of why I‘m not excited about the daily weigh in. It is helpful though to see others experiencing similar results and I try to use that uptick as motivation. I tell the scale “oh no you didn’t” & use that frustration to power those next workouts, “I’ll show you”. There is no expiration date on your goals, take a deep breath & try, try again. I believe this is why so many people’s posts here talk about it being a lifestyle rather than a diet.

Tracking food and weight daily taught me that what I eat today will not affect my weight tomorrow but may take 2 or 3 days to show on the scale. As far as DIET (a four letter word) - those are things you go on to lose weight and then you go back to eating the way you used to and are mystified that you regain. When I started Keto/LCHF almost 5 years ago I realized I was going to have to do it for life. That’s why I now refer to it as my WOE (way of eating) - it is a lifestyle and one that I can live with.

6/6 172.8 Had ice cream at Splash Country yesterday and a ribeye steak last night. They theoretically worked into my calories, but hubby put salty seasoning on the steak and I think that is probably responsible for this little tick up. I was worried about it at the time, but it was too late. He doesn't usually do that.
6/7 171.6 Excellent day on food yesterday and even though I didn’t do specific exercise, I was busy all day and closed all my rings at least once.
6/8 171.4 Beginning of two-week vacation in Florida; tomorrow’s numbers will be from a different scale. Looking to make good food choices and get in lots of exercise.
6/9 171 Did a good job controlling intake, even with the lunch on the plane that consisted of Cheez Its. Lol. Got it laps of the concourse at the airport. Will be eating seafood every day here for a while, but we usually only eat two meals a day. Choice of preparation and portion control will be the important things along with getting in lots of exercise. But that’s my plan!
6/10 172.8 LOTS of exercise yesterday—bike ride, two long walks, so I’m sore this morning which may explain some of this up! But it feels really good to be sore like this again!
6/11 174.2 I really am doing a lot to limit portions, etc, but all our meals are restaurant meals. I’ve done really well at eating half portions and making good choices, but I’ve also enjoyed small portions of some treat items. I'm also getting lots of exercise.

Round 189 SW: 195.8
6/6 – 194.7 – Luckily I lost all the water weight I had retained due to the muscle soreness and I am back on track. It was nice to have a rest day and I am motivated for the week ahead!
6/7 – 194.6 – I think I forgot to post, but I did weigh in the morning
6/8 – 194.8 – Just hanging out here at this weight point for a bit…
6/9 – 194.0 – Popped down a little bit – hurray! I got in my exercise and meditation early this morning, because I’ll be working on our deck all day. Getting in that Vitamin D and fresh air :-D
6/10 – 194.1 – I totally wrecked my body by spending 8 hours staining our deck. I’ll be taking today and a rest day. Luckily I didn’t follow all that work with a burger and fries like I wants – here’s to forming better habits!
6/11 – 194.0 – My body feels better, so I did a Piyo workout. The sunburn is the only lingering annoyance. We were going to go hiking this weekend, but it’s raining so we’ve had to postpone.

6/6 214.4 I am glad to see another weight loss. This morning I did gardening. I also prepped alot of fruits and veggies to eat throughout the week which is new but something I think will be helpful. Nervous about the upcoming two days because I am going to be working night shift which is going to be throwing things out of whack.
6/7 213.6 Very happy with another loss. Not sure what I am doing today really. I am working starting at 11pm so sleeping mostly today. The real challenge will be when it is past midnight and I would typically eat alot to keep myself awake during the shift. I can't really do that to stay on track. I do have some healthy things I am bringing.
6/8 I worked night shift and some other of the staff brought in chips and dip and doritos all which I love but I did not have any of it and I had my prepared food from home!
6/9 I worked night shift again. Hopefully not again for awhile. Again other people brought chips and things to share. But I held steady and brought my healthy packed food! And I was under my calorie for today.
6/10 212.2 Got back on the scale and was happy to see good number. I new were having pizza for dinner so was able to budget enough for dinner and still be under. Feeling surprisingly energized after work.
6/11 212.8 A little disappointed with the gain today. I really don't know where it is from I was under my calories.

6/1 : 178 1100 calories (and there is the bounce. not letting it bother me, 'cause my normal weigh in is sunday. when i report my weight on sunday i'll still have lost some). not sure if i'll be walking for a little while. i have arthritis in the hips. the walk yesterday i wasn't sure if i would make it home. healthy weight must come with a healthy body.
6/2 : 178, 1538 calories. going to have to do better. i caught myself "boredom" eating. i will be sure to set higher standards of myself tomorrow.
6/3 : 178.2, 1224 calories not a bad day. disappointed with my sandwiches. i used to make them with joseph's flax, oat bran, wheat lavish bread. the grocery store didn't have that when i went shopping. decided to buy pepperidge farm very thin whole wheat. it'll be excellent for toast, but for sandwich? naaah. making a mental note to buy extra joseph's when they're back... i'll freeze it.
6/4 : 178.6 1609 calories. was my calorie intake poor choices? i don't think so. it's disappointing to see my weight continue to go up.... but there's other things to consider. i haven't been able to walk for several days, and my quitting smoking has been going very well. i am still using the step 2 patch, but sometimes i forget to replace it, and when stress triggers the "i NEED a cigarette" i'm able to fight past the urge. maybe i'm seeing things right/wrong. i've consumed 350 less calories this week than needed to "maintain" without the exercise, so my weight is probably right where it should be.
6/5 : 180.2 1037 calories. hmmmm. not really understanding how the app keeps telling me i'll weigh less in 5 weeks, but my weight keeps going up. it's proving to be quite the disappointment.
SW: 180.2
Day/Weight/Comment
6/6: 179, my eating was a mess today, macro's messed up, calories exceeded. i did get a good 2mi. walk in @3.0mph. i have also graduated to step 3 with the nicotine patch, that was a difficult experience also (yay me.... i didn't give in!) i'd like to go for another walk tonight, but worry about the arthritis. maybe a nice slow stroll around the community.
6/7: 178.8 my eating is still a mess, macro's still messed up, now i have seriously lagged in calories. it was too hot to sleep last night, so when i finally got to sleep i ended up waking up too late to take a walk. heat and humidity do not agree with me. i'd like to go out now to walk, but sometime tonight the county is spraying for mosquito's (not even sure if my area is being sprayed, just don't want to get caught in it if it is). every thing seems disappointing today, but i do have a beautiful cucumber in my garden that i will pick tomorrow morning!
6/8: 178.2 that's not a true weight loss. previously, i have been weighing myself at all different times of the day, so my weight would vary. i think i have found the perfect time in the morning to get on that scale. hopefully, i can continue to hit the scale about the same time in the morning to get an accurate weight gain/loss. calories today were pretty good. macros still terrible. took a 1.5mi walk @3.0mph, so i'm feeling good that i got that in. cigarette cravings are still high, and a couple times today i replaced smoking with food.... not good.
6/9: 178.2 way over in my fats, way under in my carbs, protein just about perfect. bacon is one of my weaknesses... i just couldn't resist those 2 extra pieces this morning. i had planned on just one. today was a hectic day inside the house. the AC needs replacing ($$$), and i was bouncing back in forth between chores to stay out of the tech's way. it's my off day from walking which i am glad of. surprisingly, it's not arthritis that's giving me trouble, it's pain in the arch of my foot (i believe it to be plantar fasciitis, but have never had it diagnosed). have it wrapped with ace bandage so pressure is applied. maybe tomorrow i will get out and purchase duct tape to wrap it in (believe it or not, it works!)
6/10: 178 today... craving comfort food. went over in calories and waaay over in sodium. dreading my weight in tomorrow, but that's the price i pay.
6/11: 178...no loss, no gain which i am feeling grateful of. again today i exceeded calories. i did get to go for a walk though, 1.5mi @3.0mph. i've got my ear buds charging (maybe i'll go out late tonight and dance around). tomorrow i am going to "the sons of italy" lodge to make my membership official. no, i'm not italian (although the way i eat some pasta, you might think so). I live in a gated community, and have only met people at least 20 yrs. older or at least 20 yrs younger than myself. i'm hoping i can meet some people at the lodge with similar likes as myself so i can get out and do more.

Round 189 ( my 121th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
I've enjoyed the Queen's platinum jubilee weekend, but that is now over, many of my clothes are beginning to feel a little uncomfortable, no way do I want to get into the sprial of buying the next size bigger clothes, I'd like to lose a couple of pounds this round, but any is a loss!!!!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.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 141.6 – oh dear !! That is my highest weight since I started these rounds (round 69) ! As you can see I did celebrate Her Majesty's platinum jubilee and I did enjoy it. But now is the time to move on. Not only that I am starting to drop behind with my walking daily average goal; one of the reasons is my temp. seasonal part time job, but enough of the excuses, lets move on and make this round count!
6/7 140.4 - 9.2 miles walked, good food choices, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
6/8 139.6 – good to see the 130's again! 7 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back, 11g carbs over.
6/9 139.4 – 11.07 miles walked. A third of exercise calories eaten back.
6/10 139,4 - only 2 miles walked yesterday child minding 3 DGC all 3 and under. Ate clean, but due to lack of structured exercise 149 calories over. Only 1 baby DGD today, so shall get out for a walk when she has her nap pushing her in pushchair.
6/11 140.4 – couldn't stop picking all day, shows on the scales. 5 miles walked, some “off roading” pushing little DGD, it wasn't planned – took the wrong path & when I realised it was too difficult to go back up the way I had come!!!! Was relieved to get back on the tarmac footpath!!
6/12 140.6 – 11 miles walked yesterday, chocolate monster got me; 253 calories over

ROUND 188starting a little late: weighing every day will be difficult, i usually only weigh in on sunday. i've been bouncing back and forth with my weight, a tiny gain, a tiny loss. think i will add a little exercise to the dieting plan.ROUND 189

5/29: 179.2 30 minute walk @2.5mph 1691 calories
5/30: 178.6 1193 calories
5/31: 176.6 30 minute walk @ 2.5 mph 1254 calories
6/1 : 178 1100 calories (and there is the bounce. not letting it bother me, 'cause my normal weigh in is sunday. when i report my weight on sunday i'll still have lost some). not sure if i'll be walking for a little while. i have arthritis in the hips. the walk yesterday i wasn't sure if i would make it home. healthy weight must come with a healthy body.
6/2 : 178, 1538 calories. going to have to do better. i caught myself "boredom" eating. i will be sure to set higher standards of myself tomorrow.
6/3 : 178.2, 1224 calories not a bad day. disappointed with my sandwiches. i used to make them with joseph's flax, oat bran, wheat lavish bread. the grocery store didn't have that when i went shopping. decided to buy pepperidge farm very thin whole wheat. it'll be excellent for toast, but for sandwich? naaah. making a mental note to buy extra joseph's when they're back... i'll freeze it.
6/4 : 178.6 1609 calories. was my calorie intake poor choices? i don't think so. it's disappointing to see my weight continue to go up.... but there's other things to consider. i haven't been able to walk for several days, and my quitting smoking has been going very well. i am still using the step 2 patch, but sometimes i forget to replace it, and when stress triggers the "i NEED a cigarette" i'm able to fight past the urge. maybe i'm seeing things right/wrong. i've consumed 350 less calories this week than needed to "maintain" without the exercise, so my weight is probably right where it should be.
6/5 : 180.2 1037 calories. hmmmm. not really understanding how the app keeps telling me i'll weigh less in 5 weeks, but my weight keeps going up. it's proving to be quite the disappointment.
SW: 180.2
Day/Weight/Comment
6/6: 179, my eating was a mess today, macro's messed up, calories exceeded. i did get a good 2mi. walk in @3.0mph. i have also graduated to step 3 with the nicotine patch, that was a difficult experience also (yay me.... i didn't give in!) i'd like to go for another walk tonight, but worry about the arthritis. maybe a nice slow stroll around the community.
6/7: 178.8 my eating is still a mess, macro's still messed up, now i have seriously lagged in calories. it was too hot to sleep last night, so when i finally got to sleep i ended up waking up too late to take a walk. heat and humidity do not agree with me. i'd like to go out now to walk, but sometime tonight the county is spraying for mosquito's (not even sure if my area is being sprayed, just don't want to get caught in it if it is). every thing seems disappointing today, but i do have a beautiful cucumber in my garden that i will pick tomorrow morning!
6/8: 178.2 that's not a true weight loss. previously, i have been weighing myself at all different times of the day, so my weight would vary. i think i have found the perfect time in the morning to get on that scale. hopefully, i can continue to hit the scale about the same time in the morning to get an accurate weight gain/loss. calories today were pretty good. macros still terrible. took a 1.5mi walk @3.0mph, so i'm feeling good that i got that in. cigarette cravings are still high, and a couple times today i replaced smoking with food.... not good.
6/9: 178.2 way over in my fats, way under in my carbs, protein just about perfect. bacon is one of my weaknesses... i just couldn't resist those 2 extra pieces this morning. i had planned on just one. today was a hectic day inside the house. the AC needs replacing ($$$), and i was bouncing back in forth between chores to stay out of the tech's way. it's my off day from walking which i am glad of. surprisingly, it's not arthritis that's giving me trouble, it's pain in the arch of my foot (i believe it to be plantar fasciitis, but have never had it diagnosed). have it wrapped with ace bandage so pressure is applied. maybe tomorrow i will get out and purchase duct tape to wrap it in (believe it or not, it works!)
6/10: 178 today... craving comfort food. went over in calories and waaay over in sodium. dreading my weight in tomorrow, but that's the price i pay.
6/11: 178...no loss, no gain which i am feeling grateful of. again today i exceeded calories. i did get to go for a walk though, 1.5mi @3.0mph. i've got my ear buds charging (maybe i'll go out late tonight and dance around). tomorrow i am going to "the sons of italy" lodge to make my membership official. no, i'm not italian (although the way i eat some pasta, you might think so). I live in a gated community, and have only met people at least 20 yrs. older or at least 20 yrs younger than myself. i'm hoping i can meet some people at the lodge with similar likes as myself so i can get out and do more.
6/12: 179... and there is (some?) of the weight i've been expecting to see. i am hoping to be more mindful of my sodium intake (it is a little difficult, as i have italian cured meats (sopressata and prosciutto which i must be sure NEVER to purchase again) in the fridge. the person i live with had said he wanted tuna mixed up for sandwiches. i made it for him, and now after drinking too much and not feeling well after eating the sandwich, he has decided he doesn't want to eat any more of it. sometimes i wonder if he's trying to sabotage me, knowing that i will not throw food away. i try eating it in moderation before it spoils, but obviously that hasn't worked out so well for me.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 172.8 Had ice cream at Splash Country yesterday and a ribeye steak last night. They theoretically worked into my calories, but hubby put salty seasoning on the steak and I think that is probably responsible for this little tick up. I was worried about it at the time, but it was too late. He doesn't usually do that.
6/7 171.6 Excellent day on food yesterday and even though I didn’t do specific exercise, I was busy all day and closed all my rings at least once.
6/8 171.4 Beginning of two-week vacation in Florida; tomorrow’s numbers will be from a different scale. Looking to make good food choices and get in lots of exercise.
6/9 171 Did a good job controlling intake, even with the lunch on the plane that consisted of Cheez Its. Lol. Got it laps of the concourse at the airport. Will be eating seafood every day here for a while, but we usually only eat two meals a day. Choice of preparation and portion control will be the important things along with getting in lots of exercise. But that’s my plan!
6/10 172.8 LOTS of exercise yesterday—bike ride, two long walks, so I’m sore this morning which may explain some of this up! But it feels really good to be sore like this again!
6/11 174.2 I really am doing a lot to limit portions, etc, but all our meals are restaurant meals. I’ve done really well at eating half portions and making good choices, but I’ve also enjoyed small portions of some treat items. I’m also getting lots of exercise.
6/12 172.6 That’s better! Honestly, if I can just maintain control and keep things about even these two weeks, I’ll be happy. Anything below that will be icing on the cake. I did really well yesterday, yet enjoyed good food in controlled quantities, and I think some of the work I’d put in the last couple days showed up on the scales this morning, so I’ll take this as a big win.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

6/06 - 182.6
We went to see friends last night and I over indulged in salty snacks and such. I feel puffy, but it won’t last.
6/07 - 181
That’s a little better. Here’s another rose for you all—first blossom on my new Joseph’s Coat!

Busy day yesterday with my pup, Rory. In the morning I taught an obedience class, then took Rory through his Urban Canine Good Citizen test, which he passed with flying colors. We went to various places—fire station, construction site, ice skating center—to test the dogs around urban sites and sounds, including strange (!) people, stairs, different flooring surfaces, elevator…. So at 11 months, Rory is now officially Stormridge Celtic Thunder TKN CGC CGCU (TKC = Novice Trick Dog). Then in the evening we trained for his tracking test, hoping to be ready in the fall. He loves tracking and is very good at it. How does this relate to weight loss? I got a LOT of exercise yesterday! Here’s Rory yesterday after passing his test.
6/09 - 180.8
Three hours of tracking class this morning, which means three hours of mostly walking over rough ground, some standing. Lots of fun!
6/10 - 180.6
Does anyone know where to record weight updates on the new and “improved” MFP app? The Progress link has disappeared. Phooey, MFP! Anyway, I had a good day yesterday with lots of exercise and calories where I want them. Yay! Happy Friday!
6/11 - 181.4
Hmmm. Calories were good, so this must be salt. We had eggplant parmigian for dinner, so maybe that’s the culprit. Leftovers tonight, so I guess I’ll drink extra wawa today and see what happens. Trying to finish some garden work before this week’s heat wave hits. Have a lovely Saturday!
6/12 - 180.8
Snacked a bit more than planned last night, but was still well below maintenance, so ok. I think I’m still a bit “salt heavy” from the eggplant parmigian leftovers—all that lovely cheese! Today is soup day.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6: - DNW - backpacking
6/7: 133.2 - I was super hungry yesterday after a very long hike with a 20 pound pack on. Even with the pack on, I was carrying 20 pounds less than when I started this journey 9 months ago. Imagine hauling around almost 40 pounds more day in, day out. I stayed within my calories, but once again did go high on sugar, carbs and fat.
6/8: 133.2 - Although I’m holding steady weight wise, I don’t feel like I am. Haven’t taken any waist or hip measurements, but my clothes feel just a *tad* snugger. Ate past my limit yesterday and I’m not sure I was actually hungry in the end.
6/9: 132.9 - I was busy making bread yesterday so my whole schedule was thrown off and didn’t do everything (eat, workout) until much later than normal.
6/10: 132.9 - normal workouts. Carb heavy eating.
6/11: 134.9 - Went out for Thai food last night - all the way from appetizers, drinks to dessert. Got my workout in despite the 95+ F degree weather.
6/12: 135.1 - This hot weather is not helping my cause, nor what I’m putting in my mouth,.

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 1.9 pounds7 -
6/06 - 171.5 (+.1), Sore but motivated. Kicking off challenge celebrating yesterday’s success - actively worked out for 23 min. & happy to report I FINALLY reached my H2O daily goal (128oz.)!
“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” - Maya Angelou
6/07 - 171.9 (+.4 - too much sodium), Had a terrible nights rest thanks to my PTSD (13 min. Deep/ 1 hr. 28 REM, 3.10 light, the rest of my 8.5hrs in bed registered as awake). My sleeping BPM shot up & down like a roller coaster all night from 43 to 126! It’s been almost 20 years & remains a difficult topic. I wish mental health wasn’t taboo. Nobodies pain should be wrapped in shame but it frequently gets dressed that way. I don’t want or need pity, a little bit of compassion or empathy goes a long way. Still sore on top of exhausted but I exceeded my H2O goal. Took a much needed rest & recovery day which included Hatha Yoga, light rowing, light strength training (gotta keep moving 1.5hrs. total), meditation & a nap.
“To live in the body of a survivor is to never be able to leave the scene of the crime. I cannot ignore the fact that I live here.” - Blythe Baird
6/08 - 172.2 (+.3 - Sodium again + TOTM), Another rough nights sleep but I will persevere! Not sure I like this daily weight in thing but sticking to the plan & seeing how it goes. Spent part of the afternoon hiking with the kids and had hoped to call my exercise. Then I met up with an old friend……all I needed was 1 delicious margarita to put me over and then there was dessert! I won’t even dig into the sodium. Tried to work it off in the evening with the rower (put in 50 min. of light effort) but was just too exhausted after all of the sunshine and poor sleep to put in more effort. Exceeded water & exercise goals even though my net calories were a disaster so I‘ll take those wins.
“Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” - Winston S. Churchill
6/09 - 171.1 (-1.1) Slept better but still not great. Put in some extra effort to try and work off yesterday’s choices and feel good about what I was able to achieve. 1hr. Dancing with kids, 1.5hr. Rowing & water goal met again.
"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.” -Christian D. Larson
6/10 - 170.9 (-.2) Slept like a champ & seeing cardio improvement! Sqweee I’m so happy!!!!!Weather is nice so I took the day off & am headed to the lake.💧144 oz. (over), ⛑ +23 (247) - working towards, 👟 10,151 - met.
"When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves” -Buddha
6/11 - 170.7 (-.2) Found my zen kayaking/swimming at the lake all day with the kids. Just what the doctor ordered but whew sore before bed. Iced some & probably gonna take an R&R day but I’ll move somehow.💧132 oz. (over), ⛑ +36 (284) - working towards, 👟 7,623 (under but the paddling made up for it).
"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” - Oprah Winfrey

@goodhealthbestlife hang in there my friend. You are doing great & you‘ve got the right mindset, consistency. I think we all feel that discouragement from time to time. Remember it‘s going to Yo-Yo some, this is part of why I‘m not excited about the daily weigh in. It is helpful though to see others experiencing similar results and I try to use that uptick as motivation. I tell the scale “oh no you didn’t” & use that frustration to power those next workouts, “I’ll show you”. There is no expiration date on your goals, take a deep breath & try, try again. I believe this is why so many people’s posts here talk about it being a lifestyle rather than a diet.
@jbeanR0212
Thanks for the encouragement! I needed that. Especially today since the scale stayed the same, again, despite a 20 mile bike ride. I am taking a deep breath and remembering that there is no timetable here--its a day by day way of eating and moving that will bring me health for the rest of my life. I'm grateful I can move and do and have the means to buy healthy food for myself and my family.
Really helps to read everyone's posts!

Round 189 SW: 195.8
6/6 – 194.7 – Luckily I lost all the water weight I had retained due to the muscle soreness and I am back on track. It was nice to have a rest day and I am motivated for the week ahead!
6/7 – 194.6 – I think I forgot to post, but I did weigh in the morning
6/8 – 194.8 – Just hanging out here at this weight point for a bit…
6/9 – 194.0 – Popped down a little bit – hurray! I got in my exercise and meditation early this morning, because I’ll be working on our deck all day. Getting in that Vitamin D and fresh air :-D
6/10 – 194.1 – I totally wrecked my body by spending 8 hours staining our deck. I’ll be taking today and a rest day. Luckily I didn’t follow all that work with a burger and fries like I wants – here’s to forming better habits!
6/11 – 194.0 – My body feels better, so I did a Piyo workout. The sunburn is the only lingering annoyance. We were going to go hiking this weekend, but it’s raining so we’ve had to postpone.
6/12 – 193.2 - We’re buying a grill today and I can’t wait to cook some yummy, healthy foods on it!

I switched where my desk is for working from home and it resulted in less space for my personal laptop to be set up. So, I tend not to log in when I have downtime now. I’ll be happy when our living space is finished with the construction, so I have my own separate room for an office. That might be a few months though because the permits are just starting to be pulled.
Food has been pretty decent since I’ve been MIA. I’m currently in a cut and have lost about 2lbs since I started and I’m noticing the changes as well. I’m feeling less puffy and leaner. I’ve been sticking with my lifting program and have been able to incorporate a boxing class into one of my cardio days and either run or do a low-impact cardio activity on the other cardio days.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 / 160.4 / Worked from home with a Peloton ride at lunch. The rainy weather stopped me from taking my dog for her walk as she hates getting her paws wet, and rather than go out on my own I did a 10 minute strength workout instead.
6/7 / 162.2 / Last day in office before I start a string of corporate events including golf and field tours. I will get some form of exercise in tonight but I have lots to get organized.
6/8 / 162.2 / Round of golf today for work. Should get plenty of steps!
6/9 / 160.8
6/10 / DNW
6/11 / 163.2 / I was away on business Thursday and Friday with no down time. 5 hour drive to the location, a round of golf, supper and drinks, and then the next morning we did field tours and then hit the road again. I am at the lake for the weekend.
6/12 / 163.4 / Got my 10,000 steps yesterday and did a strength workout. My husband did ribs on the BBQ and there were a few cocktails so my calories were higher. Today is rainy so my movement has been low but I hope to make up for it later today in one way or another.
