Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 175.2 I’m not exactly sure what is going on here in my body. I’ve been sitting basically still (or a little worse) really for a little over 3 months. I had lost almost 20 pounds over the previous 7 months, but am having trouble finding my groove again. I certainly don’t want to gain that weight back, again, so I have to figure out how to get my act together. I'm going to try to share my weight graph so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. I'm limited in activity by bad knees (see an ortho dr today, actually) but I was during the loss period too, so that is no excuse. I'm not looking for "hugs" but sharing my frustration in hopes of gaining more gumption to do the things I know it takes to get the graph to go down. Thanks for listening. Best wishes to all of us this round!
7/7 173.6 Progress in more than just the numbers! I drank at least 10 cups of water yesterday and focused on going back to eating the things that helped me lose the weight last year, and of course, tracking them. But I’m a realist and know that I won’t get drops like this very often. Dr. told me I need two knee replacements yesterday, which I kind of suspected, but at 63 I think I’ll buy a little more time with injections for a while if they work. However, that does give me more incentive to lose another 15 pounds or so—to make that recovery easier when the time comes. I also started doing a seated upper body weights workout before bed last night. I’ll need some upper body strength for those surgeries. That felt really good and I felt like I'd added something really good for me when I was done.
7/8 174.2 Ate out twice yesterday, so this is understandable. HOWEVER, I am so proud of myself for how I have handled the first day of camping with Dad this weekend. We have eaten healthy, and I have controlled portions. I have maintained control all day! I won’t have a scales the next two mornings, but hopefully I can continue this and not gain weight this weekend. All next week I'll be weighing in on the scales at Dad's house. Gotta help him get some things done around the house before I go back to work (education).
7/9 No scales
7/10 No scales
7/11 No scales
7/12 172.6 I’m so pleased with this considering I’ve been camping with Dad for several days. I did SO MUCH BETTER with food choices and portion control. I am feeling much more in control of cravings and have gotten lots of exercise.
7/13 172.4 Still making progress.

Hi all, this will be my second round. I lost 2 pounds the first round. I hope to keep that up this round.
Welcome to all the new members this round!
SW: 263 (5/26/2022)
UGW: 150
191 SW: 252.6 EW: 250.6
192 SW: 250.6 GW: 248.0 (down 2.6 pounds)
7/6: 251.0 – slight increase due to poor choices yesterday. I will get back into the groove today.
7/7: 250.6 – down to starting weight. It was a bad day yesterday from what I ate and drank, but I was still OK on calories. I need to get back on track today!
7/8: 252.0 – up some today. Probably due to sodium, but we will see as I had two bad days there. I got back on track yesterday. Now, I just need to stay on track!
7/9: 252.0 – Still the same. I ate on plan yesterday, so I hope that the weight starts coming off again soon.
7/10: 251.2 – Down some from yesterday so I am glad to see that. Went out to lunch with the family and ate off my eating plan but still stayed OK on calories although ate too many carbs. Dinner, I ate back on plan. I am planning all my meals today and the rest of the week so that I stay on plan and, hopefully, I will lose some more before Friday!
7/11: 252.2 – Up again! Probably due to sodium. Looking back, I did eat higher than normal sodium. So, I need to work on sodium intake.
7/12: 249.0 – I guess it was the sodium. It all came off plus some. Let’s see if it stays off!
7/13: 248.2 – Well I guess that I had a lot of water weight on me. It is very nice to see the weight finally come off. If this lasts, I am almost to my goal for this round! I hope it stays off!
7/14: 248.2 – I am so glad that the weight has stayed off! I guess that I have really lost a few more pounds. I have been fine on calories this whole time so it makes sense that some weight would eventually come off.
7/15:
@joans1976 – congrats on reaching goal!
@JBeanR0212 – Glad that you are feeling better!
@deepwoodslady – I hope that all is back to normal soon!
@wakegrrl – glad that you are feeling better!
@Sussysue – you have lost 2 pounds this round. That is great progress in just 10 days.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 / 164.6 / Sun is shining so I hope to take my lunchtime walk outdoors today. Also want to get on the Peloton tonight.
7/7 164.4 / Today feels like a bit of the calm before the storm. Starting tomorrow, I have a lot of corporate events for the Calgary Stampede, and in less than two weeks we're on our way to Ontario to visit Brad's family. Oh, and my brother is coming tomorrow to stay for a while too! Lots to do. I did get my long ride in on the Peloton last night and will try to ride again tonight if I can fit it in.
7/8 / 163.4 / Started my Stampede with the parade.. beautiful weather. Kevin Costner was the marshal. There was a breakfast included with our seats that was yummy. I worked this afternoon. Tonight we lay low as my husband has a Gran Fondo bike race tomorrow (his first ever!) so we are up early to go to that.
7/9 / 163 / In beautiful Longview, Alberta while my husband does his first ever Gran Fondo race to the Highwood Pass. SO PROUD! He has been unstoppable since his hip replacement. Afterwards we will go to a friend's child's birthday if he has the energy.
7/10 / 161.2 / Hoping to get two Peloton rides in, a walk, and then we have dinner out in downtown Calgary with friends.
7/11 / 160.8 / The supper last night was amazing. I had exercised a lot but it was an indulgent meal. I didn't go nuts though. Today is a very busy day - won't be home until after 11:30 p.m. Exercise will all be steps.
7/12 / 161.8 / Big day out yesterday. I worked in the office for the morning, hit a corporate tent part for the afternoon, and then my husband and I went to the Stampede grounds for a free concert. Didn't get to bed until midnight. Walked over 20,000 steps.
7/13 / 161.2 / I stayed on my best behavior at yesterday's work event (with no choice anyway since I had to drive home). Got home at a good time and did my long Peloton ride for the week.
7/14 / 160.8 / Another good day despite events to navigate. I had a Stampede lunch at work and then a corporate tent event which I again had to drive home from. It's a great way of ensuring I don't indulge in alcohol. When I got home I did a Peloton ride and then my husband and I took the dog for a long walk to our favorite ice cream shop. Hit over 20,000 steps.. it was just such a beautiful night.

Female, 5ft. 6 in.
Age 58
Akron, Ohio
OSW: 186 (March 2018)
Maintenance: 140-145 (December 2018)
My 153rd Round!
I’ve let stress derail the past few years of maintaining my weight around 145. The past few months I’ve been inching up above my maintenance weight of 145 and I am now fully 6 lbs. over. I can feel it in my clothes. I’ve been here before many years ago and if I don’t stop it now, I’ll be back to 186-188 lbs. The only way for me to be successful is to meticulously track my food and stay engaged with this challenge.
Good luck to all of you this round!After losing 12 lbs. I was stuck at 174lbs. for a couple weeks until I found this challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/06 - 151 - I was home on a vacation day yesterday. I took a walk and tracked my food.
7/07 - 151 - Stayed within calories and took a walk after I got home from work.
7/08 - 151 - I was hoping for a little drop before the weekend, but this just means I will have to be extra vigilant to stay on track.
7/09 - 150.5
7/10 - 150 - I went to a party last night and limited myself to 1 piece of pizza, 1 small piece of strawberry shortcake, and 2 drinks. We also made a 2 mile roundtrip walk to a nearby lake to watch fireworks which helped. I'm trying to stay on track today.
7/11 - 151.5 - I did pretty well with food yesterday. I'm hoping this is a delayed reaction to the sodium on Saturday night. I'll drink plenty of water today.
7/12 - 151 - Back to work today after a 3 day weekend. More water, more steps, and less food.
7/13 - 151.5
7/14 - 150 - Bounce, bounce. Our grandson is coming over to spend the night tonight. He wants Chinese, so I've already decided on a lower calorie dish for me. I just hope the sodium doesn't derail my weigh in tomorrow.

Big rains here yesterday—7+ inches in some areas. Our lovely tulip tree, planted 3 years ago, is leaning on the fence. 😢 We have someone coming out to see if they can pull it up and stake it. I hope so! Other than that we have no damage, but lots of trees down, power outages, and flooding in the area. I did eat ice cream to sooth myself last night.

Good day yesterday, foodwise. And Rory passed his Advanced Canine Good Citizen test. Today’s the last day of doggy school until August, although we’ll still be meeting a couple of friends for tracking. It’s great exercise—lots of walking on uneven ground—and fun! I have lots of salad makings for lunch.

I just don’t get it. My calories the past few week+ have been well below maintenance, and a bit below my goal, and I’m getting plenty of exercise between dog training and gardening. So discouraging. I’m about ready to give up and just live with it. If it weren’t for my belly, I wouldn’t much care, to be honest. But jeez, why give up stuff if it makes no difference? Waaaa! (No hugs needed, I’m just venting again.)
7/09 - 178.4
Just when I was ready to throw in the towel! I’ve been over my food the past few days and have no idea what would make me hover and bounce up like I did. Oh, well. It’s a mystery sometimes. Have a beautiful Saturday!
7/10 - 179.2
Boing. This is water — my calories were fine but I had more sodium than usual. And at least it’s not back to the 80s! Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!
7/11 - 179
Not sure this is accurate—my scale is bonkers. I weighed myself 5 times and got 5 different weights. This is the average. I’ll change the batteries and see what it says tomorrow. In any case, I’m sticking to the plan, so all good! Happy Monday!
7/12 - 178.2
Yay! New batteries, consistent weights, and down a little. All good!
7/13 - 177.4
Whoa! Okay, something’s finally working. I still haven’t quite hit my macro goals per GenoPalate’s recommendations, but slowly I’m lowering fat and increasing complex carbs. Protein is good. And I’m feeling much more energetic and optimistic.
7/14 - 177.8
Staying on track.

End of Round 191: 153.9
Round 191 Results: -4.3 pounds
Day, Weight, Comment
7/6: 153.3 - it’s time to start thinking about eating in maintenance calories and upping my protein because I want to work on body recomposition. Maintenance calories scare me. Once I hit 151-152, I’ll be slowly upping my calories and watching what the scale does. Also, I’m excited to be back for my second round!
7/7: 154.1 - hormonal weight fluctuation… fun fun!
7/8: 152.9 - yesterday was a pretty good day and I’m happy with the results. I am on a roll with tracking! Maybe my best streak ever!
7/9: 152.8 - I’ll take it! I’m nervous about today because we have a dinner date and I want to enjoy it without going overboard, which is my tendency.
7/10: 153.2 - wow! This is great! I definitely ate way more than usual at the end of the night, and didn’t see a huge impact. It was very nice to feel way more in control of my eating last night since I was still tracking everything.
7/11: 152.5 - feeling great! I just changed my goal from losing 1 pound a week to losing half a pound a week, so I can start increasing calories as I work on maintenance.
7/12: 151.7 - I had no appetite yesterday, but I still made sure to get in some healthy calories and make sure I ate enough to fuel my body.
7/13: 151.7 - no change from yesterday!
7/14: 151.7 - is this maintenance??? Lol!!
7/158 -
Hi All - This is my round three. I've lost a couple pounds since starting. If I can just keep the downward trend going, I'll be very happy.
SW: 146.6
7/6 W- 145.8 - Peloton & yoga yesterday; planned/tracked my food
7/7 Th - 146.0 - Yesterday: Yoga & strength workout; tracked food but 300 over calorie goal. Today: Traveling so most likely won't be able to exercise.
7/8 F - ?? - Traveling; on the road 900+ miles over the past two days, but we made it to SW Florida! Tracked food; packed low-cal snacks; sandwich; went over calorie goals but did better than normal because we avoided fast food. I'll be able to weigh in tomorrow.
7/9 Sa - 144.0 - Two pounds down from last weigh-in on Thursday. Weighed on a different scale. Hoping it's not the scale.
7/10 Su - 143.2 - Long bike ride yesterday, logged food. Ate out for lunch & dinner; guessed calories. Happy with the results!
7/11 M - 142.6 - We were on the beach yesterday. I tracked my food. I went 400ish calories over my daily goal, but got in an open water swim. I was happily surprised with my weight this morning. It helped me to track food. It kept me from late night snacking last night. I'm trying to catch up on Stranger Things. I'm just now getting to season 3.
7/12 Tu - 144 - Tracked food past two days but did not plan it. I went over my calorie goal both days.
7/13 W - 143.6 - The last two days have been tough. I've been hungry all day both days. I didn't get my workout in yesterday. I didn't eat much for lunch, which made me want to snack. I'm adding more protein today, especially at breakfast.
7/14 Th - 145.6 - I worked long hours yesterday catching up. I hung in there with my calorie goal until after dinner, then had a beer and a half and late night snacks. UGH! I'm resolved do better today. I haven't exercised in the past 2 days, but planning to go on a bike ride after work today. I do so much better when I plan my day's meals.

I am female and 66 years young from northern California
Round Goal: I’d love to get to 135, Then I’d only have 10 lbs. to go. 10 lbs. sounds like so much less than 12 lbs.
UGW: 125
SGW: 136.8
Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 - 136.8 – Today we are rounding up volunteers to trim part of the hiking trail. Not a lot of walking more bending and stooping.
7/7 – 136.4 – Yesterday I decided I need stronger legs so I can get off the ground more gracefully. I did 2 sets of squats. Sore legs today. Off for a walk today with a serious hill.
7/8 – 135.8 – Yay, getting closer to my round goal of 135.
7/9 – 136 – Why isn’t losing weight linear? I had a big dinner with a couble glasses of wine. While I was under my calories for the day, probably a lot of food in my gut
7/10 – 136 – Got poison oak all over my face. I was working on our trail and must have touched my face with my gloves. Also have sore hip so took a day off from walking. Stayed under my calories.
7/11 – 135.4 – We had roasted vegetables with white beans, pasta, and pesto. So good. I wanted a glass of wine for dinner but decided that it was more important to lose weight. I seem to be talking to myself a lot these days. Suffering with poison oak. Sometimes suffering means a glass of wine so happy that I skipped it. I have a dress I’d like to fit into in 2.5 weeks. I can zip it up but it would look better if I lost 5 lbs.
7/12 – 135.4 – Went to physical therapy and came how sore. Decided to have a couple of glasses of wine since my shoulder was so sore. I was under my calories for the day. Did a 4 mile walk in the morning.
7/13 – 135.4 – Went for a 3 hour walk yesterday and was under my calories for the day.
7/14 – 135 – Yay hit my goal for this round. 10 pounds to go. I went for a 7 mile walk yesterday. Going to our friends’ house for dinner. She suggested I bring fruit for dessert. Lovely idea

/stretching, spinning and walking/
Let’s see if I can do something I am not ashamed of this round. Round 191 ended with my highest average on record since starting JGM10D. And this is the time of year I usually do better because of outdoor activities! I MUST do better than just phoning-it-in this round!
It starts today with no dipping into the office snack stock-pile.
By the way, this is exactly why I participate in this daily activity. Without this my health would be a sad story…
It is going to feel good!
7/7: 217
/nada/ Yesterday was a day full of meetings. I avoided the office stock-pile of snacks, so I have that going for me, I guess.
Starting tomorrow, I will be on a three day weekend family (wife’s) reunion on Lake Geneva Wisconsin. Organizers said that everyone should bring a sweet and a salty snack for our evening get-togethers. The conference center we are staying at has buffet style meals. I will try to avoid snaccidents. I will weigh in tomorrow, but not Saturday or Sunday without a scale. Searching for NSV’s.

/nope/
7/10: DNW…birthday!
/golfing and walking/ lots of eating.
7/11: 220
/mostly sitting and eating/ birthday eats.
7/12: 219
/grass mowing/ calories well below goal, but quality of the food was questionable. Such as Taco Bell and beef jerky I received as a birthday gift.
I love how the Taco Bell commercials show how all you need to hear is a bell and you turn into a zombie and walk straight into a Taco Bell to binge eat by yourself.
7/13: 217
/Spinning preceded by a tough virtual Les Mills stretching class/ That stretching class really challenges me. And, the spinning empties me. Both a good thing but it would never happen by myself. I need group exercise classes because they always push me beyond my natural quit time.

I went well over my calories with beer last night. No good reason for it at all.
Doing hot yoga with a friend tonight. I've never done it and my enthusiasm is fairly low, but I'm going to give it a try. I think I'm going to do another workout today in case it falls through. Last full day of the challenge today!

7/07 - 167.8 - 19,000/129. I now have a 25 year old son!! In a blink of an eye. We will celebrate on Sunday, goal to just have a small piece of cake!!
7/08 - 166.3*- 19,300/133.
7/09 - 166.3* - 15,200/85
7/10 - 165.8 - 42,600/278 … 23.77km walk+ shopping steps, did 2 walks. I should have went for my 50,000 step day but I wore the wrong shoes. Did half my walk out of town on the waterfront was a beautiful day. Then some shopping and enjoyed 2 great coffees, just a day by myself. Tonight is my son’s birthday dinner will splurge a little, maybe a glass of wine, so I’d better get my walk in. Walk Forrest Walk!
7/11 - 165.3 - 25,800/176 ... Got in a good walk, took in some sunshine at my parents, then went out for dinner for my son's birthday. Great evening!! Probably ate at maintenance or higher. Had a small glass of wine an appy plus dessert. Ate light for breakfast and lunch but did try to do some cardio to balance everything out.
7/12 - 164.8 - 20,200/140. My walks were warm, slower pace than usual and this morning I probably am a little dehydrated. Also calories on the lower side of my goal as it was too hot to cook/eat.
7/13 - 164.3* - 19,900/135. Late evening walk, slower pace, still warm. Made chili lime salmon in airfryer and it turned out amazing. Was a Skinnytaste recipe, I like her recipes.
7/14 - 163.5 - 23,000/155. It's pretty dry in my bedroom think I have lost extra water during the night. My top is a lot tighter in the afternoon lol. Good nights sleep though.

Back in 2008-9 when I did WW, they had what I thought were high numbers for “burn” and allowed 1 point for each 100 calories burned. One point allowed you to eat about 50 calories. Because I felt their burn numbers weren’t accurate, I bought my first Polar device. The chest strap measures heart rate and tells you the burn. I use their app on my phone to track and can tell when I need to increase intensity or slow down. That said, I STILL need to get my “rear in gear!!!”
I don’t routinely eat back exercise calories but I know they’re there if I need them.8 -

07/12 ……196.6 ….. (Trend weight 201.3)
07/13 ……197.0 ….. (Trend weight 200.8) Another reading in the wrong direction. I have no idea why except all of this must be related to Covid. Maybe I’m on the mend soon? Yesterday I tried a little fasting but was careful to eat when I felt the glucose slightly dropping. I ended up under 1100 calories. Still not much exercise but meals were small and carefully chosen. Lack of exercise doesn’t let me burn off what I’ve eaten so maybe that is the answer? Anyway, I’m going forward with a positive attitude. I think I am firmly in Onederland with or without the virus. I’ve just got to trust the process. It has been a long time since I have been able to go this many days in a row following my diet without interruption of travel (or anything else). I’ll admit that a time or two I wanted to comfort myself after the covid diagnosis with food because “I deserve it”. But then, I quickly realized that what I really deserve is to be healthy and happy and not trapped in a sick, old, weak, tired body. I’ve been working hard on this and being sick has given me the time to focus on myself. Dieting is never easy but I’ve kept my resolve strong, worked through the cravings and planned for the hunger.
07/14 ……197.4 ….. (Trend weight 200.5) Scale (only 1 yr old) with new batteries (2 weeks ago but admittedly cheap ones) decided to go bonkers today. I must have weighed 18 times. If I lean forward enough I could weigh 195.X . If I move the scale to a whole different room, I could weigh 200.4 . Most of the weights were in the 197’s. That feels most right to me because I ate right up to my 1400 calories yesterday but my final food was at 2:00 am when I was starving and feeling weak. Luckily I had calories to spare. In case I decide on a new scale sometime soon, does anyone have a good recommendation?

Bad day. My dog hurt her paw pads running on stones and so could not walk with me. It felt so wrong to go out and leave her sad and limping at home. Work was stressy. Family kept interrupting - WFH is so not nirvana. I gave up and ate junk.

30 days ago I morphed from a pandemic hangover couch potato to 10k steps up and down hills every day. Weight dropped fast at first then plateaued. But during the plateau my jeans got looser and my belt got tighter. So it must be true that muscle takes less room than fat. 💡💡💡 I thought that was just an urban legend. 🤣🤣🤣

Over the calorie count on the last two days but only slightly so. If I hold the line today and get plenty walks in, I still have a chance at 147.5 tomorrow.

Daily weigh in isn’t a requirement - as a matter of fact there aren’t ANY requirements. 😁 There are others here who only weigh weekly. Please don’t leave us. We love you and want to see you succeed!

Day/Weight/Comment
7/6: 132.5 - Did a skeleton pre-log of things I knew I was going to eat, which helped me make better decisions earlier in the day as to what to eat. Got my workouts in and had a great sleep!
7/7: 132.7 - Extra long walk (5 miles) and an hour of Jazzercise workouts. Went to bed way too late though.
7/8: 132.7 - Had our weekly neighborhood get together on the driveway. Full crowd - it has been so nice to get to know our neighbors over the last couple of years. Normal workouts, leftovers for lunch and dinner. Sleep was a little better, but still went to bed too late.
7/9: 132.7 - Didn’t do my usual walk, but did get my workout in. Dinner was later than normal though and I went to bed really late.
7/10: 133.4 - Potluck at a retirement party - didn’t count my calories. Got my workouts in.
7/11: 135.1 - Really didn’t count my calories. Lots of carb and fats. Ate early and late and throughout the day. I have 4 days to turn this around before the end of the round.
7/12: 133.4 - Phew, Back to maintenance range.
7/13: 132.5 - Yay - back to where I started the round, which is smack dab in the middle of maintenance range. Normal workouts yesterday and ate back every single calorie allotted. My husband and I are prepping the house a little bit for friend’s visit in about a month, which means cleaning windows, washing walls, cleaning rugs. Luckily he’s doing the windows for me and hired out for the carpeting. I still feel like I’m getting an extra workout in as we move furniture around to get to things and then find dusty baseboards that need to be wiped down.
7/14: 132.9 - Good workouts and eating but poor sleep.

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!

7/15 - Happy Birthday, Mama!
Previous Day's Comments7/06 - TOM is kicking my behind with the bloat this time around. I don't look or feel as bloated, though, but it's definitely the bloat-squish. Also finally got some TMI movement going again, but it was after weigh-in and drinking a ton of water so will wait until tomorrow to see if it helped the scale. Did wake up at the time I usually do to take BigBro to work and got a walk with the pup (1.77mi, 30 minutes. Wildlife still out roaming so she was challenging to handle at times and I was much slower than I prefer. I also struggled to get up and moving which didn't help, but now I'm glad I did). Also got 5 minutes on the rower. It's been so long and with a lumbar fusion, I don't want to go to hard or long to start off and lock up all those muscles or get too much inflammation to pinch the damaged nerve. Did that once and not doing it again. Went until I felt the muscles begin to work and tighten up, then stopped. It's been about a half hour and I'm feeling a little soreness, but no pain, which is what I aimed for. I'll work up slowly to more time/distance eventually! Did find out last night that our upright freezer isn't quite staying cold enough. Think SOME things are frozen solid, but much of it isn't, including what we pulled out for dinner last night. Ended up eating out because we didn't have anything else to make. Luckily, yesterday there were still some 4th of July sales going on and purchased a new freezer to get delivered next week (scheduled Tuesday, we'll see if that holds). Will try to sort things out today during breaks and store what's still frozen solid in the kitchen refrigerator/freezer until the new one arrives.
7/07 - Some TMI movement, TOM has finally left me alone, and now it's just me, food, exercise, and bloat to fight it out. I was absolutely exhausted this morning when my 6am alarm went off so I slept until work alarm at 7. Realized I only have Sunday to rest and relax so taking today to sleep in a bit more is worth it. Starting back next week, I have no choice but to get up and get moving at 6. Roast tonight with potatoes, carrots, and celery since I was able to salvage that from the broken freezer. Since I know we'll be eating from home, I can also take the pup for a walk after dinner and once it's cooled to get some activity in. Also knowing dinner, I can plan better for lunch. Attempting to fast as long as I can. I did put collagen protein in my coffee to help with the transition back into fasting. 1/2 serving is 35 calories so not a TRUE fast, but it's small enough and will help hold off on solid foods.
7/08 - Slowly dropping down. Food wasn't great as I ate back all of my exercise calories. Also tried a 3-ingredient peanut butter cookie (BF's fave and only cookie he'll eat) and they turned out great! So added unexpected calories for taste test before I fed it to anybody else. Fortunately it cooled off enough that the pup and I walked 2.5 miles to go get our mail, versus driving to get it. Initially I forgot my plan to get mail and started the opposite direction so by the end, it was 38 minutes so I decided to keep going to 45 minutes to hit a new "badge" on my company's wellness app and coincidently right at 2.5 miles (we can earn daily points to accumulate to $$ back on our paycheck. I can earn up to $200 back so it's a nice motivation. In the 2 weeks I've had this, I've earned $5! Halfway to earning $10 already as of last night's walk). Slept in this morning as I was, once again, so sleepy. Plus my brain initially went to the 330/4am morning I have tomorrow and that isn't a good motivation to get up. Plus, my calves are noticeably sore from the hills! Glad we did it, though, as the scale rewarded me with a drop despite the food factor. I will likely weigh in morning, but not post as I'll be driving all day. Sunday will be hit or miss, depending on what we're doing. Not sure plans for tonight, to include dinner, so I'll have leftover roast for lunch since it has a good amount of protein and I'll stock up on the veggies (BF won't eat leftovers so this is all for me!)
7/09 - DNP
7/10 - DNP
7/11 - Travel and the eating out associated with that. As well as the limited (see: almost no) stops for bathroom means not enough water (water retention). Doing a bit better today getting back on track. Woke up with a horrid migraine and was nauseous from it until about an hour and a half ago. Trying to get through the work day despite the (now) throbbing headache approaching migraine territory the longer I look at the computer. Not sure what has caused it, but it's not fun. Trying to focus on healthy habits to assist my body in fixing whatever is going on. Good news is that dinners for the week are all planned out so shouldn't have a problem with planning breakfast (should I need to break my fast early) and lunch based on my calorie allowance leftover from the planned dinner. Aiming for a walk this evening with the pup for my activity and fresh air. Hopefully the migraine/headache is gone by then
7/12 - Coming back down from the weekend. Did some research. I have insomnia and circadian rhythm disorder already and I'm used to waking up with a tiny headache that will go away within an hour, but not a migraine. Calculated it out and I've been in bed for 9-10 hours! Too much sleep can also cause issues! So I naturally woke up at 4:48am this morning, stayed in bed until 5 (actually 5:02 because I lost track of time) and forced myself up rather than forcing myself back to sleep. Knocked out a nice circuit of bodyweight (pushups, squats, glute bridges), spin bike (5 min), rower (5 min) walking rest for 30-45 seconds and repeat! Even had plenty of time to cool down and stretch before my 6am alarm went off! Plus, no headache!!!! So now, I suppose, goal is bed around 9, wake up around 5. Get in workout (unfortunately too dark out in the country to get outside) to get an indoor workout. Even better, I can hop on work at about 6 and get a solid 30-40 minutes of work done so I can hit my 9 hours before 4:30pm when I need to head out to pick up BigBro without worrying about having to get back on to finish after dinner. I think I found my routine if I can manage to battle myself out of bed at 5am. Once it's routine it'll be easier for me to fathom exerting myself so early. Already set my alarms for 5am and 6am (6am is going to be cutoff time reminder so I can still cool down/stretch before driving)
7/13 - Not much to report on. I did not get my workout done this morning as we were up late playing a game as a family. I did get the appropriate amount of sleep, though. I am sore from yesterday's indoor circuit so plan on doing some yoga or stretching today at the very least. Hopefully tonight is normal bedtime so I can get up and knock out the circuit I had planned for this morning. I've already fallen off a bit food-wise this morning but I've been absolutely ravenous. I've tracked this mornings mini-binge and tonight's dinner. I'm currently over about 40 calories. Oops! Hopefully this late-morning nom-sesh will hold me over until dinner. I'm also absolutely freezing (my hands are this horrible shade of blue/grey from the cold! And I'm in a jacket with a blanket over my lap at my desk...oof!) Will try to break even today and get my necessary movement in where and how I can. And push water since I'm also a tad behind on that as well. Maybe the shivering will burn some extra calories, too. Bahahaha

Round 192 (1st for me)
SW: 256.2
Day/Weight/Comment
7/6: 256.2 feel pretty good. I kept within my calorie goal the last two days.
7/7: 253.4 I don't know what happened, but I'll take it. I'm just hoping 🙏 I can stay within my calories tonight also. Worried because I'm feeling hungrier than usual today 😕
7/8: 254.0 went over by 200 cals yesterday. I consider it a good day because it could’ve been worse.
7/9: 253.8 I fought the late-night snacking and I WON It was hard but YES I did it. The worse part was my hip ached all night which kept waking me making me so miserable but i wouldn't get out of bed because i was afraid I'd snack. I have an anniversary party to attend today. Wish me luck on keeping within my calories 🙃
7/10: 254.2 eh on yesterday. Party was nice. Saw lots of relatives. Was able to get Mom to go (has mild dementia). She remembered most. They were surprised/happy to see her. She is the last of my Dad's side alive. He is one of 13 and him and his brothers/sisters and their spouses are all gone. It was hard to track food I think because I didn't have all but I had a tsp of this and a tsp of that for the pasta dishes. Protein was easier. Thank God that experiment is over 😆
7/11: 254.8 hmmm I lost track of where I was yesterday I was out helping Hubby and sister-in-law move things into storage for her, so I snacked for lunch because I didn't plan which made dinner okay but snacking kicked in after. Yuck . Was in bed early from the lugging heavy items around and up/down the stairs. At least I got in my exercise.
7/12: 254.8 maintained but that's okay. Not much went on yesterday. Should of exercised while I had the chance too many carbs, not enough protein. Sluggish today. Have picnic today at the club with the seniors. Luckily it's within my scheduled meal and hopefully walking around will walk off the sluggish carbs from yesterday.
7/13: 254.4 – I think I need to lower my calories. It’s seems like I’m in maintenance phase and not losing phase 🤔
7/14: 254.2 did horrible yesterday 😢 the binges didn't creep in... they attacked. Will have to be extra careful today.
7/15:

Daily weigh in isn’t a requirement - as a matter of fact there aren’t ANY requirements. 😁 There are others here who only weigh weekly. Please don’t leave us. We love you and want to see you succeed!
So true... just set up a weekly day/weight/comment..
