8/9 Tu - 144.4 Great Peloton workout yesterday. However, it was a tired-and-hungry-all-day day. I tracked food AFTER I ate it and went over my goal. Obviously I've been doing this for a few days. Today is the day to get back on track.

8/09 - 156.8 - Coming back down like I had hoped. Unfortunately, I believe there was some actual fat gain through this year so this is more of my baseline "start weight" and anything less is due to my diligence of sticking to habits. Took the pup for a walk yesterday for 30 minutes. Woke up this morning (despite wanting to sleep in. I told myself "what would my superhero alter ego do? Get up and work out? Oh fine...") and knocked out a 10 minute rowing workout (via youtube) and then a 20 minute gentle relaxing/stretching Yoga with Adriene video. Hoping another walk with pup after dinner tonight. I did log but I was over by just under 200 calories, including exercise calories. It still shows a loss over 5 weeks, though, so it's better than nothing. I'm working on my "bat cave" as NerdFitness would call it. One of those out of sight, out of mind things. Or in my case, in my sight, in my mind. Fruit and vegetable front and center, rower, bike, and yoga mat out and visible. Alarm set to 6 (because even if I try to sleep in, it won't be enough time before I HAVE to be up for work so I'll be miserable if I don't just get up). Kids gone so all the sweet treats and snacks are out of the house. My handy-dandy water cup (a lovely 30 oz tumbler) filled before I go to bed so it's ready first thing. Trying my hand at journaling through the NerdFitness Journey app. There's money involved in that app so I'm more likely to stick to doing it to get my money's worth. I can choose my journeys. My current 3 (which is max allowed): Mobility level 1, Journaling, 30 days of walking (which is a "5 minute walk around the perimeter" but I try to extend it when time allows) plus daily challenges which change daily and are consistent across the app. Today is balance which I'm about to do while catching up work emails and posts here.

Previous Day's Comments8/05 - Despite the big farewell dinner for the kids with Fam, I've maintained! Whoohoo!!!! I was worried I'd be back near 158 again so this is a really pleasant surprise. Did get a 20 min walk in with SD and pup once everyone left and the house was put back to normal last night. No workout this morning as SD wanted a chai from the local tea place and the only opportunity I have today to get it is during my workout time when they first open. I'm off earlier as it's only an 8 hour day so hopefully I can fit some extra activity in during that extra hour I have. Tomorrow we drive all day so I'll see about weighing in, though likely not posting as I'll be driving to Oklahoma while BF drives back and reading/writing/typing always gets me carsick. Not much else to report on here. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and best of luck this round!

8/08 - Expected as I traveled all day Saturday. Water was low (try to stop as little as possible and having to go every 10 minutes means I'd NEVER make it home) and food was on the road. I tried to eat a little healthier like Subway instead of greasy pizza, but still not great. Yesterday wasn't great with food but I did get over 100oz water which hopefully means tomorrow the water weight will be gone. No workout this morning as BF told me he was making roast today and needed potatoes, carrots, and celery at about 9:15pm after the store would've been closed by the time I got there. So this morning it opened at 6 and I got there and back in time for work. Really missed my grocery shopping buddy (SD) though. Will have to squeeze some activity in later today. Wanted to go for a walk with pup last night but BF wanted to watch a movie with me and there were storms in the area (didn't hit us, but if I had walked, they would've. Murphy's Law loves me). Maybe I'll try for that tonight. House is incredibly quiet without the kids and it's weird. I sure do miss them. Only upside is that I don't have any distractions and I can get my never-ending to-do list done. Spending time with them definitely took priority over a good chunk of that list and I'm only mad about it because it means I have no excuses to do the mundane things now haha!

8/4 – 134.4 Ta Da! I’ve lost 20 lbs. since the end of March. 10 more to go. This was a low blip so it will probably go back up tomorrow. But still happy. I started a day early on this thread because …
8/5
8/6 – 135.4 Went way over in calories. I had wine with dinner and then got into the Triscuits. No doubt that I want to eat more when I have 2 glasses of wine. Onward and downward.
8/7
8/8 – 134.4 Back down to my 20 lbs off. I’ve been bouncing around within 3 lbs for a while. Oddly my thighs and behind seem to have shrunk a little bit.

8/9 120.5 GKI TBD I knew I would be up and I’m fine with it. It may go up more and that’s okay. Steak fajitas for late (for us) dinner, about 3 chips and one small flour tortilla (both of those are house made,) also one regular Margarita and one skinny Margarita. The later was SOOO sweet! Awake at 5:20 this morning.7

Round 3 for me! 8 pounds down since I started 30 days ago. To me that’s monumental since prior to this I couldn’t get the scale to move! I love this challenge! Whoever started this is a genius- baby steps seem to be the best for me. Hopefully, I can start walking more soon. I have arthritis in my pelvis and was recently diagnosed with bursitis in my hip. Getting this extra weight off will really help my mobility issues.

8/06: 133.8 - Normal workouts and eating.
8/07: 133.2 - Normal workout plus cleaned the refrigerator. Went to a barbecue at a friend’s place and they had so many fresh vegetables from their garden - delicious!
8/08: 133.2 - Ate back every calorie on my plan. Snuck a small walk in at the end of the day to bring up my exercise calories.
8/09: 132.9 - Worked out and then finished the rest of the house cleaning in preparation for our friends’ arrival. They called around 5pm with the news that the wife tested positive for Covid just then. We’re all so disappointed as we’ve been looking forward to this visit for almost a year.

8/9-170 Worked at a local fundraiser and was busy, then family reunion Sunday. Left at dawn Monday to meet my sister and her family at the coast to go kayaking. Then to my dads to spend the night and take him to have a procedure on his hand today. I am going to get salmon to bbq for friends coming by for dinner tonight. Heading home, 4 hours in the car, tomorrow and then I can get back on track. I took a container of OJ and put protein powder in it and keep that in an ice chest along with a bag of nuts and I do not buy fast food...a win for me.7 -

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 195 ( my 127th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. I need to continue to resist the Commonwealth Games Volunteer goodies to keep the movement downwards (3 shifts out of 10 left to do !! ) 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.

8/5 / 165.8 / Today after work my husband and I go up to the lake.. it's been a couple weekends since we've been there so we'll have grass cutting chores. Lots of relaxing otherwise!
8/6 / 164.6 / Back to my maintenance range. Woo hoo! Yesterday I did a 30 minute Peloton ride and got my 10,000 steps. We have a celebratory dinner tonight at the lake for a friend who has been successfully kicking cancer's butt for a year now.
8/7 / 165.8 / Didn't get many steps yesterday - went out for one walk but mostly ended up relaxing at our trailer. My husband cooked the celebratory meal for our friends.
8/8 / 167 / Did walking, yoga, and strength for exercise yesterday. Our friends had us over for homemade pizza.
8/9 / 166.2 / Dealing with some pretty big upcoming changes at work and finding the stress difficult. Trying to ensure I don't let my self care suffer. Still finding ways to execute on my good habits.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 195 ( my 127th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round again is to lose. I need to continue to resist the Commonwealth Games Volunteer goodies to keep the movement downwards (3 shifts out of 10 left to do !! ) 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/Comment
8/05 - 149 - We have no parties this weekend, so I should be able to stay on track.
8/06 - 148.5 - We had pizza last night so I expected a carb and sodium bump. I may see it tomorrow, but I'll keep tracking today.
8/07 - 149 - We went to the local zoo this morning and had a nice walk. We got another membership this year because it's a nice way to get a long walk in.
8/08 - 150.5
8/09 - 150
8/10 - 150 - The weekend carbs and sodium are sticking around. I hope my weight drops tomorrow.

/walking/ Family reunion this Saturday night. Sister In-law and DH with us over the weekend. They always bring some nutrition damaging store bought snack or treat. Going to try to think twice before damage is done.
8/6: 217
/ not much/ This big bump up in weight is not as bad as it looks since I round to the nearest whole number. And, it is not without reason. TMI, TMF (food), TMS (salt), TMD (drink).

/walking/ It hurts to report this number, but this is why I am here, so I can own up to my compulsive behavior. DW made a belated Birthday Blueberry Pie. (my preference in lieu of BD cake) Lots of reunion/houseguest food + leftovers. I probably ate a whole fried chicken over the course of two days.
8/9: 219
/walking/ Still recovering from the weekend obviously. I don’t like myself very much right now, but I will get over it. 😊
As a start, I want to eliminate processed sugar and severely reduce other carbs from the diet. (except for the last piece of blueberry pie.) Time to set a couple world records (at least personal bests) for low carb consumption.
8/10: 216
/spinning and stretching/
Yesterday was not the low carb record day…. Not with that last piece of pie to finish off. In spite of that, I DID make a choice to avoid a lot of carbs.

8/10 - 155.7 - I'll take it. Unfortunately due to living in a "gated community" (front isn't gated, just back gate because people used it as a shortcut and were speeding, causing a lot of trouble for livestock) BF's meds won't get delivered so we have to drive 2 hours to get it and 2 hours back. There's an amazing Thai place nearby so I went with and had some amazing food for lunch. So thankful I'm mobile for work so I could still get things done while we traveled. I fasted until then, kept mindful, and the scale shows my hard work. It was a tad harder to get my water in, but, by estimate, I believe I did it. Smothered burritos for dinner but I kept my portion small, ate slowly, and didn't go back for seconds immediately (thought I was still hungry but waiting proved otherwise so it was a very smart decision to hold off). Took the pup for a little over 30 minute walk once it cooled down after dinner as well. Woke up and found a youtube follow along rowing workout for beginners that lasted 20 minutes and an 8-ish minute Yoga with Adriene cooldown yoga to finish off. I did hit snooze, but only stayed in bed about 5 minutes after my alarm before getting up. Sometimes you just have to quiet the mind by appeasing it a few minutes haha! Today I think I'll have leftover beef stew for lunch and unsure of dinner plans at this point.

Previous Day's Comments8/05 - Despite the big farewell dinner for the kids with Fam, I've maintained! Whoohoo!!!! I was worried I'd be back near 158 again so this is a really pleasant surprise. Did get a 20 min walk in with SD and pup once everyone left and the house was put back to normal last night. No workout this morning as SD wanted a chai from the local tea place and the only opportunity I have today to get it is during my workout time when they first open. I'm off earlier as it's only an 8 hour day so hopefully I can fit some extra activity in during that extra hour I have. Tomorrow we drive all day so I'll see about weighing in, though likely not posting as I'll be driving to Oklahoma while BF drives back and reading/writing/typing always gets me carsick. Not much else to report on here. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and best of luck this round!

8/08 - Expected as I traveled all day Saturday. Water was low (try to stop as little as possible and having to go every 10 minutes means I'd NEVER make it home) and food was on the road. I tried to eat a little healthier like Subway instead of greasy pizza, but still not great. Yesterday wasn't great with food but I did get over 100oz water which hopefully means tomorrow the water weight will be gone. No workout this morning as BF told me he was making roast today and needed potatoes, carrots, and celery at about 9:15pm after the store would've been closed by the time I got there. So this morning it opened at 6 and I got there and back in time for work. Really missed my grocery shopping buddy (SD) though. Will have to squeeze some activity in later today. Wanted to go for a walk with pup last night but BF wanted to watch a movie with me and there were storms in the area (didn't hit us, but if I had walked, they would've. Murphy's Law loves me). Maybe I'll try for that tonight. House is incredibly quiet without the kids and it's weird. I sure do miss them. Only upside is that I don't have any distractions and I can get my never-ending to-do list done. Spending time with them definitely took priority over a good chunk of that list and I'm only mad about it because it means I have no excuses to do the mundane things now haha!
8/09 - Coming back down like I had hoped. Unfortunately, I believe there was some actual fat gain through this year so this is more of my baseline "start weight" and anything less is due to my diligence of sticking to habits. Took the pup for a walk yesterday for 30 minutes. Woke up this morning (despite wanting to sleep in. I told myself "what would my superhero alter ego do? Get up and work out? Oh fine...") and knocked out a 10 minute rowing workout (via youtube) and then a 20 minute gentle relaxing/stretching Yoga with Adriene video. Hoping another walk with pup after dinner tonight. I did log but I was over by just under 200 calories, including exercise calories. It still shows a loss over 5 weeks, though, so it's better than nothing. I'm working on my "bat cave" as NerdFitness would call it. One of those out of sight, out of mind things. Or in my case, in my sight, in my mind. Fruit and vegetable front and center, rower, bike, and yoga mat out and visible. Alarm set to 6 (because even if I try to sleep in, it won't be enough time before I HAVE to be up for work so I'll be miserable if I don't just get up). Kids gone so all the sweet treats and snacks are out of the house. My handy-dandy water cup (a lovely 30 oz tumbler) filled before I go to bed so it's ready first thing. Trying my hand at journaling through the NerdFitness Journey app. There's money involved in that app so I'm more likely to stick to doing it to get my money's worth. I can choose my journeys. My current 3 (which is max allowed): Mobility level 1, Journaling, 30 days of walking (which is a "5 minute walk around the perimeter" but I try to extend it when time allows) plus daily challenges which change daily and are consistent across the app. Today is balance which I'm about to do while catching up work emails and posts here.

ROUND 194
SW: 179.27/26: 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.
8/3: 172.8
8/4: 172.4 back to the diet (sort of). the man wants cheese burgers. i bought the ground beef, and handed it over to him. he said he made 6oz. patties for freezer and we each get a 5oz patty today. cheese burgers sound great, but oooh the calories. i took my burger and smooshed it very thin with 1 piece of cheese. once cooked, i cut the burger in half and placed the other half on italian bread w/mustard. i'll have the other half tomorrow. i'll be over my allotted calories for weight loss, but still below my maintenance calories.

8/6: 171.8 weight is "pre" everything. i usually weigh in after i've had coffee and water. haven't had coffee or water yet this morning, so i'm figuring i'm at least a solid 172 lbs.

8/9: 171.4 i am actually getting excited to see the 160's. maybe by round 197??? what an accomplishment that would be!
8/10: 171.8 had 1/2 a blueberry muffin from sams club yesterday. had the other 1/2 this morning. i knew i shouldn't have, but who can just leave a muffin top just sitting there!

8/5 - 177.2
Finally! I actually thought I might be up this morning—after 3 hours of tracking last night (which means 3 hours walking on a variety of surfaces from asphalt and concrete to mowed grass to knee-high weedy fields to lay tracks, track Rory, and follow my training partners as their dogs track) I was hungry (and skipped dinner) so I had popcorn and then a small dish of ice cream. I know, I know, but hey, I got my whole grain and fiber, my calcium, and a whole lot of satisfaction. 😁 Anyway, I’m glad to see this drop—I re-weighed three times to be sure! This morning I’m doing laundry and some weeding—the summer fun never stops! Here are a couple of shots of my gardens, back & front.
8/6 - 177.8
I thought yesterday’s check in was a little optimistic! That’s fine. Lots of miscellaneous jobs to do today, so that will keep me moving. Have a lovely Saturday!
8/7 - 177.4
Rory and I were out the door at 6:30 this morning to track with a friend before it gets too hot, which it’s starting to do. It was lovely out early, though! Enjoy your Sunday!

Apparently I failed to post for two days. But I’m sure I did. Hmmmm. Anyway, I filled in the missing weights, kicked up over the weekend. I did a bit of emotional eating. Oh, well, doing the best I can right now.

08/08 -196.4- (Trend weight 200.3)
08/09 -198.8- (Trend weight 200.1)Took my son to Outback during yesterday’s travels. He had never been there. I ate reasonably but no movement whatsoever. Travel canceled for today so I hope to keep it extra clean. Having a dinner reunion of sorts this weekend with my group of best friends when I was growing up. I haven’t seen most of them in 45 years except in my heart. This will involve travel and food, and I am admittedly very anxious about how I’ve aged and how I look, but I’ve missed them for too long!
08/10 -197.0- (Trend weight 199.8) I had an excellent eating day yesterday and got in a little mild exercise which I am easing into. I rode the exercise bike for 20 minutes. Amazing considering that just a few short months ago I thought that 3 minutes felt like hours and could only do the 3 minutes at a time! My glucose remains much too high since surgery with no explanation. I have been very weak and sickly these past couple of days and I think it’s related to that and possibly the new meds. Stress doesn’t help either and with the wedding planning for my daughter, well, let’s just say that very little is going right. Today my handymen will start the process of putting an Egress window down to my son’s apartment in the basement. I will feel much safer because of his disabilities to have it in place. Pics are below, sorry I don't know how to make these smaller.

@Krysless2 We had a similar experience at Applebee’s over a decade ago. DH got a salad with chicken, apple, and pecans - it was over 1600 calories - salad a “healthy” choice????? I would take your husband’s burger minus the bun!4

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)

8/5 119.0 GKI 5.1
8/6 118.0. GKI 6.6 Made chicken enchiladas from the leftover chicken breast. They were a little bland for my taste but DH has an intolerant tummy. In hindsight, mine are made in 1c corn tortillas and look different from his. I should have put some jalapeños in mine! Well, there are leftovers for today. DGD#2 arrives this evening. Eating out both tomorrow and Monday. A show tomorrow night and she gets to meet her new cousin who is 6 weeks old today.
8/7 118.5 GKI 12.7 Today we ladies are getting mani/pedis, family lun-ner at Great Greek and a show with DGD#2 at South Point.
8/8 118.5 GKI 11.0 The show last night was very good. Dinner at Juan’s Flaming Fajitas tonight with family.
8/9 120.5 GKI 7.5 I knew I would be up and I’m fine with it. It may go up more and that’s okay. Steak fajitas for late (for us) dinner, about 3 chips and one small flour tortilla (both of those are house made,) also one regular Margarita and one skinny Margarita. The later was SOOO sweet! Awake at 5:20 this morning.
8/10 119.5 GKI 12.3 I ate the 2 small flour tortillas I had left. DGD#2 went home. Amazing and sad how empty the house felt last night.4
