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)

7/26 118.5 GKI 5.7 unplanned 24 hour fast yesterday
7/27 119.0 GKI 9.4 Buffet@Asia I ate it all. I had been craving Asian and this checked all the boxes. I’m over it now.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 - 138.6 ✏️⏱💪🏻 ✅
7/27 - 136.4! ✏️⏱💪🏻 ✅
7/28 - 136.4 again somehow, despite Mexican dinner last night! I did a 21-hour fast yesterday so I guess that helped. Today I’m not going to meet any of my goals. DH and I are going to a music festival for the day and camping overnight. It’s our first night away from the kids together and I plan to party all day. I’ll at least be on my feet a lot! It’s supposed to be rainy/stormy so that’s a bummer but we’ll still have fun.
7/29 - DNW. Really don’t want to know how much water I’m retaining right now. Had a lot of drinks and food at the festival yesterday. We did walk and dance a TON. I can’t speak to the accuracy but my Fitbit said I burned 3700 calories when I usually burn 2500 on an active day. The weather turned out absolutely perfect so that was a relief. Sleep was not great but one night of a music festival is about the right dose for me. Back on track today! Not with fasting but I will track my food at least
7/30 - 140.6. Mucho water.
7/31 - 138.6. Glad some of the water is dropping but I have to get back on track. Whew. Did an hour long Peloton ride that kicked my butt. My one year old is sick today, spiked a fever last night. Not sure what’s going on with him. I was concerned about his big bro yesterday but he’s all good today from what I can tell. But the little one officially can’t go to daycare tomorrow, argh. If he has a fever tomorrow I may take him to get his ears checked. Seems like ear infections are almost always the culprit, even after he got tubes a couple months ago.

@pezhed hugs to you! My middle child seemed to battle major infections forever. He’s teeth all came though at about the same time though and once we got through that they were no more. Pediatrician had a hunch it was pressure from teeth erupting and she was spot on. Hoping your little one gets through it okay. I’ve only had one bout that I can recall, those are the worst!4

7/26 / DNW / Had a refreshing sleep. Up with my coffee now. Husband will pop out for our takeout breakfast soon from the cafe across the street. We have a special dinner tonight so I will likely only have the late breakfast and supper.
7/27 / DNW / Husband took us out for a special night last night so I did surpass my calories as we had a small lunch too (shared item) to bridge the gap between breakfast and supper. Today we have some wineries - it's going to be a hot one out there!
7/28 / DNW / This is the longest vacation I've been on since I started this journey and I can tell the multiple days of plans to eat out is starting to catch up with me. Made a few decisions today I'm not the happiest about but all I can do is learn from it and move on. We switch locations once more tomorrow and Sunday we fly home so I just want to savor every second of the next 72 hours!
7/29 / DNW

7/31 / DNW / At the airport ready to fly home. Back on the scale tomorrow and then back to work Tuesday. Will be weird to get back to routine!

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 194 ( my 126th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to keep feeling a little less “snug” ! (3 shifts out of 10 completed !! ) No binges, keep within calories & macros.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.

@quiltingjaine Thanks so much for the comforting Bible verse. What a coincidence that I happen to be reading the book "Be Anxious for Nothing" by Joyce Meyer right now! I'll be back with a vengeance and will talk to you soon!4 -
64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 194 ( my 126th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round is just to lose, I want my Commonwealth Volunteer uniform to keep feeling a little less “snug” ! (3 shifts out of 10 completed !! ) No binges, keep within calories & macros.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/Calories/Comment
7/26 - 177.6
Yesterday was my first day (evening) of IF and it was hard, since I came home hungry from two hours of tracking (read following dogs following scent over uneven ground), but I stuck it out. I know my urge to eat is mostly the bad habit I’ve gotten into, and that the first week or so will be the hardest. So all good! DHs birthday today and he wants Mexican, and cake, but that’s ok, I still won’t go over goals if I stop at 6:30! 😁
7/27 - 177.8
DH birthday finished, and not too bad—only 40 over calorie goal. Lots more salt than usual, but I can flush that out. And I did stop eating at 6:20. So day 2 of IF accomplished.
7/28 - 177.6
I went off the wagon last night—I came home from tracking around 8:30 and was really hungry and a little shaky, so I ate a piece of Dave’s Good Seed Thin toasted with natural peanutbutter. I’m not sure this IF is going to work for me, at least not every day. Maybe I’ll try intermittent intermittent fasting! 😁
7/29 - 177.6
Ate well yesterday and got two and a half hours of walking during tracking training last night. I talk about tracking so much, I thought I’d share a couple of pics of Rory tracking on Monday evening. He’s following the trail of another person—sort of like you see on cop shows, but this is a sport for titles. I hope I don’t bore you with dog pics—it’s one of my main sources of exercise, so semi-relevant!
7/30 - 178.2
Friday nights are my downfall for some reason. I had an emotional eating binge. Oh, well. At least my metabolism won’t think it’s starving! Happy Saturday!
7/31 - 178.2
Still dealing with my Friday night splurge, but that’s ok, I was back on track yesterday and today is planned. Have a lovely Sunday!
8/01 - 178
All within bounds yesterday. Looking forward to staying that way!

Goal for this round: To weigh less than when the round started.
Previous days8/1 124.5 estimated because I weighed after my workout which means there was already at least 16 ounces of water in me and 8ish ounces of protein shake and a few deglet dates so when I weighed it said 126.2. Today was leg day and it felt great after the two days of rest. I was able to go up in weight on all my exercises, which is always gratifying at the beginning of a new program!
7/26 Started to post but then got distracted by something else.
7/27 125. Was 123ish when I weighed on Sunday. Started a new strength program (Thinner, Leaner, Stronger) after not lifting for about three weeks because of vacation and then getting back into the swing of things when we got home. I can at least say that me at 125 now feels a lot different than me at 125 two years ago. I definitely feel a bit swollen/sore from my body getting used to the routine but I know in a few weeks it’ll drop a bit. I’m also trying to maintain a slight deficit to slowly lose. My goal is to lower my body fat while building muscle, so this loss will probably be slower than I’d like to see.
On a personal note, I got the job as a lead that I had mentioned a month or two ago and my first day was Monday this week. I can already tell that I’m going to like it a lot! I also start a little later in the morning so I’m going to make it a point to post each day now that I have a little bit of time when I get home from the gym.
Ps. Sorry I’ve been so missing, life just got hectic with trying to wrap up the job and us going on vacation for a couple weeks. I did pop in from time to time just to read through the posts. I hope everyone has been doing well and enjoying their summer!
7/28 125 maybe less because this was after my protein shake. Worked out this morning. Today was a push day. I like how the 5 day split is a relatively quick workout too. It’s typically 4-5 exercises with 3 sets of 8-10 reps and then I add 20 minutes of cardio at the end and I still end up finishing in about an hour. For anyone interested Monday and Friday is lower body/leg day, Tuesday is upper body, Wednesday is a pull day (deadlifts plus 3 upper body/back exercises), Thursday is upper body/push day & abs (all upper body: shoulder press, chest press, triceps, and captain chair leg raises). At the end of I feel spent in a good way but not like I’m going to be dragging all day from it.
I’ve been starting each morning preworkout with a whey protein shake with 20 grams of protein and having a bit of fruit around 20 carbs worth. It’s either been blueberries, cherries, or dates depending on my mood. I find my workouts are a lot more enjoyable with some food in my stomach. Then I follow my workout with another 20 grams of protein and 50 grams worth of carbs. I then have a lunch consisting of some type of protein, veg and a small amount of fruit if I want something sweet. Then, dinner is some type of protein with veggies (sometimes starchy veg like corn on the cob) and/or salad. Although, last night we had cavatelli with sauce and meatballs and I also had a salad of fresh greens with an orange tomato plus a tablespoon of Trader Joe’s spicy peanut dressing (from the refrigerator section). I recently tried that dressing and it is so good! It’s only 70 calories for two tablespoons and it goes a long way because of how flavorful it is. I can’t wait to try it as a peanut noodle sauce with my fiber gourmet spaghetti for peanut noodles. Happy almost Friday!
7/29 Didn’t weigh this morning. Completed leg day and topped it off with a 10 minute stairmaster session. Had my protein shake with some dates preworkout and now sipping on the rest of my shake and pairing it with a smores probar because I’m in the mood for that. I’m looking forward to tonight because I’m meeting my coworkers from my previous program for dinner/drinks. It’ll be a slightly delayed send off for me 😊.
7/30 Did not post.
7/31 Took the weekend to rest. Watching my cousin’s bulldogs make it even easier because I just want to relax with them all the time. Yesterday’s food wasn’t the greatest because we had a family celebration for a cousin that won a community award recently, so my mother in law ordered a lot of Chinese food for the meal and had desserts I couldn’t resist. I ended up having small portions of everything and had a piece of cheesecake and cookie for dessert. The family thing was for lunch so I ended up just having a Greek yogurt for dinner because I wasn’t super hungry.
Breakfast this morning wasn’t great but I ended up having a few Hershey’s chocolates and I’m about to have Cracklin Oat Bran cereal. I’m not sure what lunch will be but dinner will be tacos with lettuce wraps for shells. I have a couple ears of corn left from our csa, so I’m going to make a corn salsa to top it.
My goal is to start feeling more comfortable sharing the mishaps of my meal plans because after 2 to 3 years of actively posting, I still hate sharing that certain days went awry. I can’t learn if I don’t acknowledge something in the first place, right?
Dinner last night ended up being air-fried chicken tenders (Tyson, they’re a bit lower in cals than the regular freezer chicken tenders which is nice) and a piece of corn on the cob. Tacos in lettuce wraps are on the menu for dinner tonight.To make life easier I plan on cooking the ground beef concoction during my lunch today. It’s csa pick up day and with my day ending at 4:30 now, the csa pick up really pushes into when I’d normally start making dinner. So, my goal is to prep some part of dinner during my lunch on Mondays.
Happy Monday all!7 -

8/01 - 157.9 - Not enough water, unless you count the amount of water I've been in (swimming) since Saturday. I can feel the water weight but I don't feel the icky bloat feeling so that's a bonus. Apparently I was tired this morning as I slept right through my alarm and naturally woke up about 15 minutes before work. Obviously a workout didn't happen. I will try to get little bites of activity through the day to make up for it. Dental appointment tomorrow afternoon so today and tomorrow morning will be super busy work-wise to make up the time I'm gone as I have a report due on Wednesday. Also the last week with the kids so evenings may be a little more filled with things to squeeze every last bit of time with them out of the week. Time to get caught up on posts during my short work breaks!

Previous Day's Comments7/26 - I feel lighter and look/feel less bloated so not sure what's going on. Not too worried about it. BigBro broke the car (come to find out, he disconnected the battery in the wrong way and now the battery connects need to be rewired. I wasn't home when he did it...) Unfortunately they couldn't get it fixed and put back together last night so I had to drive him again today. That means I didn't get in a workout. HOWEVER, SD wanted to take the pup for a walk last night so we went for a nice moderate-to-fast paced walk up and down the hills on my road for just shy of 45 minutes. Giving myself grace still and saying ANY workout counts, even if it's only an evening stroll. It's movement that otherwise wouldn't happen and I'm learning to be flexible with the type and time of workouts I may be able to squeeze in without sacrificing important things (like sleep). Goal is MINIMUM 3 workouts this week (Monday-Sunday). Hopefully tonight they can finish the car and I can work out tomorrow. Though due to my early meeting tomorrow, I might ask BF if he'll wake up to drive BigBro if the car isn't fixed and I can squeeze in a workout before the meeting without issue. Luckily my rower, bike, and yoga mat are all within 10 steps of my desk making it easier to knock it out without being late.
7/27 - Still not feeling or seeing any over-the-top bloat or noticeable actual weight/fat gain so I'm not sure where this is coming from. TMI maybe? Also cheese last night and the bloat from that isn't visibly noticeable? Oh well. It'll fix itself in time, I'm sure. Need to get back to logging my food. Got a nice 30 minute evening stroll with SD and the pup last night. BigBro did drive himself this morning so I was able to wake up at my normal 6am. Got in 25 minutes of yoga (Yoga with Adriene), 5 minute morning stroll up and down the driveway (got to see some deer, a beautiful, colorful sunrise through the trees, and breathe in fresh air first thing). Also got my NerdFitness mobility workout/stretches done (14 more minutes) all before 730! 3 days of 30 minutes activity complete. Now let's see if I can keep that up the next 2 days! On to work for a productive day! Goal: Keep up water and TRACK YOUR DANG FOOD, CAM. (:
7/28 - Got a nice 3 mile walk in last night. Also tracked all my food for yesterday (yay! Now to continue that). This morning SD told me to wake her up at 6 (when I normally get up) to do a workout. So we decided to go on another 3 mile walk to see the beautiful sunrise. It was delightful. Seems my body is back on track with sleep, hunger, TMI, etc which may also be apart of the drop on the scale. Hoping to continue this and start dropping rather than bouncing (I know there will be some bounces, but hopefully more downward bounces than upward like I've been dealing with lately)

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 - 149 - I'm happy the weekend carbs haven't snuck up on me. Staying within plan so I hope I can maintain this loss this week.
7/27 - 148.5 - This is what happens when I weigh and track every piece of food I eat. Eventually, the weight comes off.
7/28 - 149.5 - And sometimes for no apparent reason, the weight comes back. All I can do is keep tracking.
7/29 - 149.5 - I've tracked all week so this is a little disappointing. My stepdaughter is having us over tonight for an early anniversary supper before their family leaves for home in Florida next week. I'm going to enjoy what they make and have a few drinks. I'll work on the consequences next week.
7/30 - DNW
7/31 - 149.5 - Today is our farewell party for our Florida family. I'm planning to stay around maintenance calories today.
8/01 - 149.5 - Went a little overboard on the food yesterday. Back on track today!

7/24: 179.6 yes, all my work went out the window. I went on the cruise. i have wanted to go on one for 20 years, but work has stopped me. well, retirement opened opportunities and i planned my cruise. since my baby sister is turning 50 on 7/30, I invited her to go with me as a birthday gift. we were on Royal Caribbean, and visited roatan, costa maya, and cozumel (i have probably spelled every one of those city names incorrectly). i will begin keeping track of my calories again, and MUST go shopping to get healthier options in the house (the man is predictable with donuts and frozen dinners.)
7/25: 180.6 i've only been gone a week, and there's so much routine that has obviously slipped my mind. i forgot to do a morning weigh-in, so this mornings weight is after coffee and breakfast. i didn't drink enough water yesterday, need to get back to at least 8 glasses a day (hopefully more). i'm looking forward to my 173# again (even though that's not where near my goal weight)

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26: 179.2 puffy leg this morning. that's not new, and i think it may have reduced a little since yesterday. salt intake was high yesterday, i'll have to watch that. calories and macros were great! so many things to stay focused on.
7/27: 177.2 keeping up with the water is helping. leg is practically back to normal, just a little puff around the ankle. calories and macros were on point again, but sadly sodium was still a little high.
7/28: 175.8 i think all the water weight is gone... the rest is probably the actual weight i gained. i usually eat a slice of white bread w/peanut butter as a snack for the last thing i eat. it carries me through 'til breakfast. i messed up last night and missed my snack. ended up eating PB bread at 2am today, so calories will be over today, and were under yesterday.
7/29: 175.8 i'm actually quite happy to see this weight. my calories were excessive yesterday (as expected). I was sure to get my PB bread BEFORE going to bed last night. i will probably see a weight gain later in the week for my mess up.
7/30: 174.8 look at that! it says i'm down a pound. did really good with calories yesterday, macros were off. oh well, keep on moving in the right direction.
7/31: 173.4 my scale is just being deceitful again. i'll keep logging what it's spewing out, but don't believe a word of it.
8/1: 172.6
