    @quiltingjaine Jaine, are you ok with the flooding? Not something we think of with LV! I hope all is well with you and yours.

    Thank you for asking, Sheila. Yes, we are fine. All of the thunder and lightning lately has yielded less than a thimbleful of rain in our area! We would love to see some rain OR would love to see the humidity go away! At 103 degrees, even 28% humidity is miserable.

    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!

    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.
    8/11 118.5 GKI 8.3 Under all macros because I wasn’t really hungry.
    8/12 118.5 GKI. 5.8 Going to Texas Roadhouse this afternoon. YUM!

    @quiltingjaine I am wondering which is better, Outback or Texas Roadhouse. One city that my son and I go to has both and we did Outback last time. He loves a good steak, as do I.

    08/10 -197.0- (Trend weight 199.8)

    08/11 -198.0- (Trend weight 199.6) I had a mini-binge last night because I skipped lunch and threw away exactly half of my dinner. I had terrible heart episodes all evening and night and was closer to 911 than I have ever been so appetite was gone until very late when I ate. Blood pressure was running way too low for hours 81/51 but pulse kept running at about 100-105 resting. I had to instruct my son on the nitro, just in case, clear a spot for an ambulance gurney to get in (among this remodel mess), talk to him about aspirin for me, and lay down because fainting was a very real possibility. I sipped a lot of water in case it was dehydration (water pill yesterday). I tried to stay calm. I hooked myself to my Bi-pap machine for some regular breathing and it finally subsided. Of course, I am very far from a hospital and didn’t want to go through that unless I absolutely had to. Finally, feeling better at 11:30 PM, I was hungry and ate. It was not really a binge or unreasonable, but I tried snacks first which didn’t work, then went on to eat a small meal. But the two added together put me over calorie by about 400. I should have skipped the snacks and went right to the meal. BP this morning is 82/53 but pulse is much better at 86 and heart is not beating out of chest. Very strange on the pulse since they put me specifically on a med to lower pulse. It’s been running 80’s to low 90’s which is normal. I’m not sure what happened, that is why I sipped plenty of water because dehydrations can cause this problem too. More water today, and today is not a normally scheduled waterpill anyway. Maybe the stress of this very quick wedding planning is getting to me. Maybe complications from surgery. I am keeping an eye on it for sure and I hope it don’t interfere with my reunion dinner tomorrow. Driving could be out. The dinner is about 2 ½ hours from my home as we are all “meeting in the middle” of where we live. We’ll see how today goes.

    08/12 -197.8- (Trend weight 199.4) Eating was not very good yesterday with daughter and grandson here for the weekend. Homemade chocolate banana walnut muffins and real 2% milk. I’m surprised to see a drop. I stuck to plan on meals but there was no room for that hefty snack! Blood pressure is still running way to low with the average being about 82/53 and pulse still running a bit high. It’s in the mid 90’s but should be much lower due to the lopresser medication I’m on. Watching it carefully but felt okay yesterday. Glucose is still much too high and the muffins didn’t make things any better. Staying away from them today! I have my reunion dinner tomorrow at a buffet. I’m going to try to eat like a lady tomorrow.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    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.
    8/10 / 167.6 / My night last night turned into a self-pity meltdown. I missed my exercise, had a donut and wine, and put myself to bed early. Today was a much better day all around. I did a good strength session, got in a bit of walking, and ate well.
    8/11 / 167.4 / Did a strength class after getting home last night and got to bed early. Haircut after work tonight.
    8/12 / 166.8 / In the middle of a painful IT upgrade at work. So glad the weekend is almost here. I had a big night of exercise yesterday that was a lot of fun. Off to the lake tonight.

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    ROUND 188
    SW: 179.2

    ROUND 189
    SW: 180.2

    ROUND 190
    SW: ?

    ROUND 191
    SW: 174.4

    Round 193
    SW: 179.6

    ROUND 194
    SW: 179.2

    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.

    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.

    ROUND 195
    SW: 172.4


    Day/Weight/Comment

    8/5: 172.4 not a bad place to start the challenge

    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.

    8/7: 172.4

    8/8: 171.8

    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!

    8/11: 171.4 that muffin sent me on a carbohydrate binge. exceeded calories and days was primarily carbs and fat, very little protein. my indiscretions always takes a few days before they surface. wish it was cooler, i might have been able to walk a little bit of that off. this summer has been miserably hot. diet diligence for the rest of the challenge!

    8/12: 170.2 the loss has confused me. after the carb. binge, i have mostly been eating fruits and vegetables. i did also have chicken wings, which i think i mis-calculated nutrition on (on the higher side) so i probably had way less calories than is healthy.

    8/13: 172.6 and there is it.... my carbohydrate binge taking its vengeance on me. :neutral:

    8/14:
