My 155th Round!
I had a decent loss last round, so I would like to continue to see a downward trend. My goal is to see 148.5 at least one time this round.After losing 12 lbs. I was stuck at 174lbs. for a couple weeks until I found this challenge.

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!
8/02 - 150 - The weekend food showed up, I hope this is the end of it.
8/03 - 150 - I will stay on track today and drink plenty of water.

Well a new month is in this round and I have decided to work harder on increasing my step count and lowering my sodium intake. Not necessarily for weight loss reasons but for heart health reasons! Wish me luck!

Goal for this round: To weigh less than when the round started.
Previous days7/26 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?
8/1 124.5 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!
Dinner last night ended up being air fried chicken tenders (Tyson, they’re a bit lower in cals than the regular freezer chicken tenders) and a piece of corn on the cob. Tacos in lettuce wraps are on the menu for dinner tonight though because 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.
8/2 125ish. Feeling good after my leg day yesterday. Today was a push day and I was able to go up in everything again, yay! Preworkout protein shake and peach and then a protein bar and a drinkable Chobani Greek yogurt for post workout/breakfast. Went into the office for a couple hours this morning so I wasn’t able to post earlier. Lunch was cantaloupe and a little bit of cottage cheese. Dinner tonight will be pizza/dinner with my in laws because we’re celebrating my father in law’s retirement. So I had a light lunch and plan to only have one or two slices of pizza. I just picked up our meat CSA and was able to restock the freezer with protein and got mostly lean cuts of meat, so I’ll be able to cook some a couple nights through the week to have for lunches. I’ve been finding lunch time comes around and I’m not sure what I want/haven’t planned for it. So, that’s my next goal: have easy to grab lunches.
Ps. The new role is continuing to go well and I’m really enjoying the switch/having new things to do within my role that I didn’t have before. 😊
8/3 Did not weigh. Dinner last night went relatively well. I had two slices of pizza with a small piece of key lime pie and a few bites of cheesecake. Food is looking good today with lots of veggies and protein worked in. I’m excited about our meat CSA this month because we got lots of various chicken cuts in 1lb packages which is the perfect amount for two meals for me. Getting 120-130g of protein can be tough for me but it’s typically my daily goal. Today was deadlift day and it felt really good. I think I want to invest in wrist straps to assist with my grip as the weight goes up because I know my legs and back are stronger than my forearms/grip strength. Happy hump day!

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)
ROUND 194
SW: 179.2
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
8/2: 172.2 not feeling my best this morning, so expecting a gain over the next few days. eating foods that will settle in my belly vs. counting calories. drinking ginger ale vs. water. got a little worried about covid since i just got back from the cruise, but took the rapid test, and got negative results. so, all i have to worry about will be added calories to my diet.

/driving for 16 hours / Back at it after being on the Colorado Mountains for two weeks. Had a FANTASTIC time. Such beauty!
(Now that I am back home in Illinois, I love how I don’t have those pesky mountains blocking my view of the horizon…. NOT)
The surprising thing… I actually lost two pounds in spite of LOTS OF FOOD (not tracked)! Credit to LOTS OF EXERCISE! Hiking, biking, fishing, repeat.
Wishing I was in better shape while I was there is a little bit inspirational. Let’s see if I can build on that. Need to get back into tracking food.

/ walking, not much else /
8/2: 215
/ Walking and biking. A bit of dumbbell work / The food temptation is real. Keeping eyes on the goal.
Glad to be back with you all.
8/3: 213
/Spinning (kicked my butt), stretching/ Ate under calories and ate back no exercise calories. I see this as a good sign but far from victory.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.9 -
@deepwoodslady Glad to see you on the other side! Please take care of yourself and listen to those docs so you can come back fully and with vengeance. Sending lots of healing love and hugs7

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 - 206.4 - I'm back! So after I lost 115+ lbs, I stopped recording weight and I've put about 12 lbs back on. Some of it is muscle for sure as I'm working out daily and my legs/arms are getting bigger but my diet needs to get better. I have a child on the way literally any day now (yesterday was due date) and I'm re-focused on being as healthy as possible!
7/27 - 206.1 - Down is down. Really trying to focus on my diet as my exercise is all there, but it's hard to not anxiety eat right now. Did 70 minutes of strength training this morning, maybe getting in a 30 minute ride tonight. No snacking today please...
7/28 - 204.4 - Just weighing myself every day and writing in here has such an effect on my habits. I go to get an additional snack or something and I think “ugh I’ll have to tell the people on MFP about it so I’ll pass.” So much of this is mental. Got a 30 minute ride in this morning and 10 minutes of core. I’ll do more strength after work.
7/29 -Did not weigh- was woken up at 3:15 when my wife’s water broke. Today May be the day!

8/2 - 200.0 - Welp I missed a few days of weighing in but all for a good reason! My daughter, Avery, was born on Saturday after a marathon 35 hours in labor. Mom and baby are home and healthy and happy! I can’t say my diet or exercise has been great, but I’m doing what I can while also taking care of the puppies, household chores and baby so mom can sleep!

@schmoyew big congrats! Wahoo & kudos for being such a great parent and partner. I was in labor for 54.5hrs. With my first and a whopping 7+ of that was active pushing…. I did not get the same level of spousal care. Family visiting to “help” weren’t very helpful either.
@_JeffreyD_ you have been missed while stomping around my state (I think you were in CO)3 -
You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than you were before

8/03 - 157.4 - Today I look AND feel bloated. Ugh. TOM is kicking my behind this month. Food was better yesterday. Also got my dentist work done and insurance giving problems. Right now, my dental appointment from 6 months ago is not paying out. So they can't charge my new appointment because I don't have access to my old insurance card (everything digital and once I left that employer, the account was disabled) so they can't change insurance information in their system until they get the old claim paid out. Ugh. But they have my new information and I'm working with them. At least I'm getting a night guard that also works as a retainer to keep my teeth straight and stop grinding and got that stupid chip that was painful and kept cutting my tongue ground down (it's so smooooooth!). Played a nice game with kiddos last night so was up late. Hit snooze a couple times and couldn't fit in workout this morning. Waking up mid-dream always makes me so tired, groggy, and a bit cranky. Will try for a walk with pup or yoga this afternoon. Hopefully work calms down enough I can use my lunch to get a couple items needed for tomorrow's dinner (Fam coming over to see kids one last time) instead of working through lunch to meet deadlines. If not, I'll use my morning workout time tomorrow to run first thing before work (and miss another workout) since we have to start the smoker around 11-12. SD wanted pizza stuffed shells so I'm helping her make it (she helped me make it last summer so now roles reversed so she can learn and get practice). Have leftover grilled thighs for lunch and some veggies I can munch on for lunch to stay fairly low calorie for the bomb that's happening tonight. I'll be sure to take lactose pills to avoid any more uncomfortable bloat. Today's focus: water, mindful eating, and 30 minutes activity (even if it's divided into smaller portions sprinkled through the day)
8/04
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)
7/29 - DNP

8/01 - 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!
8/02 - Pre-TOM bloat is in FULL FORCE. I don't look as bloated as yesterday, but I can feel it a bit more. Definitely tell it is mostly related to TOM, though. Did have a bit of a salty dinner last night, too. I was about 8oz shy of my water goal on top of that as I got so engulfed with work, I forgot to sip water through the morning. I woke up naturally about 4:40 this morning. Forced myself to stay in bed until about 5:30 and just relax (awake, but physically resting). Not sure what I'm going to do for a workout but getting my first glass of water down now while I type this and ponder it. Also, BF finally went to the doc yesterday (big deal around here) and turns out he fractured 2 toes at the first joint in his foot. He has tennis shoes with a bar in them like one of those boots. I guess I'll be doing the heavy lifting if any until he sees the doc again on the 15th and maybe after depending on how that goes. Goal today: knock out this workout, get my water, and TRACK MY FOOD (do it, Cam. You've been slacking and the scale shows it).
EDIT TO ADD: Completed 5-4-3-2-1 rower/bike circuit (5 min rower, 5 min bike, 4 min rower, etc). Taking a breather to type this up before edit time goes away then stretching since I have plenty of time before work starts.

~ back down; Have to have a deep cleaning at the dentist today and I took the dentist advice too seriously when she told me to eat beforehand. I already ate my leftover Philly steak Papadia and 2.5 breadsticks (so addictive!)
✅✅✅✅✅✅✅❌✅🔲- 8/04
- Tues 8/02: 159; +2.7lbs
~ Clarifying my notes: ^^ this gain is the result of throwing caution to the wind for two days in a row(Sun-Mon); eating when I wasn’t hungry and then not tracking any of it - Mon 8/01: ???
~ Afraid to look TBH!🫤 - Sun 7/31: 156.3; +.9lbs
~ I think I did very well considering they had a large platter of those Publix little Cubans at the poker game last night. Those are huge weakness for me! - Sat 7/30: 155.6; -0lbs ~ No comments/concerns, so I’ll use this time to make a to-do list. 🤔 To-Do(productive) List
- Run to Macys and JCPenney
- Order daughter’s senior pictures
- Run to the store for some emergency keto snacks
- Try to wrangle up Kyndall to purchase school clothes while it’s tax free week
- To be continued gotta go for now… Had to put a halt on my list for now. I couldn’t go to the mall because the crowds were so extreme.
- Fri 7/29: 155.6; -2.4lbs ~ not bad.. 🙂and kind of predictable since I know I’ve been recovering from my 2-day-sushi “event” earlier in the week. I’m not sure what’s in store for this weekend though. I am going to my monthly poker game on Saturday night and usually it’s a long night full of junk food so I hope I can refrain from going overboard with the salt and carbs! My actual birthday is on Monday so no big plans which is kind of a blessing in disguise. Every year I struggle to get back on the wagon when I’m faced with back to back celebrations.
- Thur 7/28: 158; +.9lbs ~ uh-oh.. mini-goal is coming up tomorrow… really needing to stay on point today!
- Wed 7/27: 157.1; -2.5lbs ~ and so the see-saw begins! I really am thankful for this and the GoT Challenge for pushing me back into the land of the living
- Tues 7/26: 159.6; +1lbs ~ Weekend temptations poured (more like crumbled) over to Monday. Family came over and played Jack in the Box and husband thought of a great idea to bring home Crumbl Cookies for everyone to try for the first time! It’s kind of like a specialty cupcake shop, but instead of cupcakes they create humongous cookies which need a small pie cutter to eat(which I ignored completely)

Day/Weight/Comment
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
7/30 / 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!
8/1 / 172.2 / Back home and it feels so good. We had a great trip but it's nice to be home as well. My gain this time wasn't as crazy as my Vegas trip and I'm sure about half of it is water weight. Back to routine! It's a warm day here but we'll get the dog out for a walk while she can still handle it. Hopefully I'll have time for other exercise too.
8/2 / 169.6 / First day back in the office after my holiday. Life gets right back to feeling hectic! Food was on track and I kept my exercise fairly light. Husband wanted a TV night and we don't do that often so it was nice.
8/3 / 167.6 / Today I will work, hopefully find time to fit in the Peloton, and then I have a late dentist appointment for a cleaning.

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!
8/02 - 178.8
Salt. Pizza salt. We spent the better part of yesterday driving about an hour to look at a car, then do all the waiting around you do when you buy a car, then driving home. So neither of us felt like cooking, and Roger wanted pizza. It’s ok, we haven’t had it in a long time. Too many calories and too much salt, but that’s that for a while. And I have a lovely new-to-me red dog- and plant-mobile!
8/03 - 178.6
Better food choices yesterday, but theses things last days! It’s ok.
