8/29: 169.8 i'm super excited over this. i'm expecting it to go up again, because sat & sun were heavy carb. days.... but at least it looks like i can self monitor to not gain weight when the tools are not available.
8/30: 173.8 not exactly sure how deceitful that weight is. i have a dentist cleaning today, and am weighing in wearing my heavy bathrobe. i am expecting some weight gain from my heavy carb days also. oh well, i'll get it all figured out another day when i don't have morning appts.
8/31: 174.4 well now, all i can do is shake my head. i went shopping this morning, and gathered up some fruit and veggies. have already made myself a nice little kielbasa/green bean/ mushroom/potato/onion hash and portioned it out into 275 cal. portions. this weigh in is happening in the afternoon, so again.... not sure how deceitful the weight is. i know it's not far off (my short trip away, my friend made me cornbread.... i love cornbread) cornbread came home with me, i'm kinda in a hurry to get rid of it, so of course i'm eating it. can't waste a good cornbread. i did go for a walk this morning, so that's a plus.
9/1: 174.4 OK, now i know.... it's not a deceitful weight. it's my honest weight. it's looking like i most definitely CAN throw away good cornbread! calories were over by 130 yesterday, but that was prior to walking. getting back on track..... i really want to see the 160's!
9/2: 172.8
9/3: 171.2 i have no idea what's going on with me or my scale!
ROUND 198
SW: 170.4
Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 170.4 this is the weight i have to report on today. i wish it was higher (dang scale) so when i report next sunday it would look like a loss. there's a neighborhood cookout today. gonna try to stay away from the carbs. and the mixed drinks... good gosh, when i get together with these people they'll always hand me something and say "one little (insert food/drink here) isn't going to hurt ya." i can overcome "one little", but they don't seem to understand there's 30 of them! that's too many "one little's"!
9/5: 169.8 did not log meals yesterday because of the cookout. 99% of the food was especially bad for someone dieting. there was a charcuterie board that had a little corner of strawberries, everything else high fat/high carbs/high calories. my little dip in weight is probably from mega stress i've been trying to deal with which slammed my emotions hard yesterday. this morning the coping skills back in check. i haven't been able to go for walks for some time now. Dr. tells me it's sciatica, but i've had constant pain for over a year now. the pain flares up to a point that i just don't want to move at all. taking anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers is not helping, and my follow-up is not until the 29th. i may end up trying to see him again sooner.

I write so my lifestyle is pretty much a "Couch Potato", Although, I do have an exercise room and use the treadmill when the clothes are not hanging off the handlebar. Basically, I need motivation. I am not a fan of sugary food but I do crave salty foods. I like a glass (or two) of wine for dinner but have added ice to a 5oz glass and noticed I am drinking less. I mainly eat at home as my hubby is a great cook and I have never liked fast food. Thanks for this motivation !!!
09/04-AM 130.6 (took clothes off treadmill-started drinking 8 glasses of water) PM walked on the treadmill watching a 1.5-hour movie and finished 8th glass of water. Company for dinner-too much food (kept at 5% glass of wine)

/nice bike ride/ That is the good news. The bad news is that I tweaked my back lifting DW’s E-bike up on the car bike rack. Trying to be careful.
Pardon if the following is TMI. This is not required, but we do share some medical info here from time to time. On the 7th I have a routine colonoscopy which will probably affect my scale readings for a day or two. On the 12th I have a Prostate biopsy.
On the brighter side, we went to see Top Gun Maverick with friends on $3 Saturday. That was a thrill a minute. Every bit as good as the first one decades ago.

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.7 -
I have done this challenge before and it really helped keep me on track to healthy living. I have since gained most of that weight back (and then some) but I'm not discouraged. I am a 21-year old varsity college athlete who is just looking to lean up a bit - taking small goals at a time as weight-loss isn't my goal - just trying to lean myself into a healthier lifestyle.Round 146: -5.1lbs

9/4: 186.0 - a pleasant surprise. Did not count calories yesterday as I had a game and usually nutrition-wise I am usually a little more lenient as I tend to consume a lot in preparation for a high-intensity match with large cal burns. Last night was also a night of drinking which may turn out to be my vice when it comes to healthy living. A lot less motivated today to do anything such as meal prep on my day off.
9/5: 188.0 - yikes. hoping this is just a fluke. Off from exercise all week due to an injury so the deficit is especially important.

09/03 …..199.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/04 -197.8- (Trend weight 199.4) The wedding was beautiful in the little rural church on a warm beautiful day. I was very careful with my calories but I did eat the cake. I didn’t eat all the super-sweet frosting and I didn’t lick my plate so there’s that lol! I’ll post pictures later when they show up in google photos. Good luck everyone this round. It’s the last (partial) month of summer. Let’s make it count!
09/05 -197.0- (Trend weight 199.2) A good day yesterday except movement was very low level. I was just so exhausted after the wedding. I needed a day of nothingness. Most of the time I keep my home a “safe zone” with the right foods. It’s portion control I have to watch out for. I have been known to binge on “diet food”. The wrong foods are the ones at the restaurants. I don’t do much of that in my city, just when I travel and then, Oh boy, the choices!!!!! I am proud to say I kept it under control (for the most part) at the wedding. That is tough for me to do. I love food that I didn’t have to cook. And I love new recipes.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 134.9 - Holding steady. Finally finished most of the leftovers from our dinner party on Tuesday. Finally seeing some daylight in the refrigerator and freezer. Got my workout in, but spent most of the day doing sourdough-related prep (2 Tartine Country Loaves, 2 cranberry-walnut loaves, 2 ciabatta loaves, 4 balls of pizza dough). Most of those will go home with my daughter and her boyfriend or into the freezer.
9/5: 133.4 - Yesterday was a bit of an odd day. Lots of baking (in the heat) and then daughter requested a spring roll salad that I had made before and a blueberry pie since she had 7 pounds of blueberries she was bringing from Washington. Added those two things (plus the ice cream to go on top of the pie) to my diary and realized that almost all my calories for the day were going to into that one meal. Decided the high-octane calories from the Trader Joe’s Vanilla ice cream wasn’t worth it and went and got a “light” version. Also decided that probably should do an OMAD day and it worked out pretty well. This is why it is important to track and pre-track.

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.

9/4 120.5 I got together with my “old” gal pals yesterday. Charcuterie board, “Buffalo” nuts and toffee nuts as well as a couple of adult beverages. I had “made” the nuts and discovered that a lot of the Buffalo seasoning was in the box so was ate some of that after I got home and drank lots of water. Perhaps I have retained some H2O but still no TMI. Maybe the excess water will help. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ Not concerned
9/5 120.5 Great Greek yesterday and left overs today. DH surgery tomorrow. Still no TMI - stress related? Finally TMI long after weighing.5 -

9/4-133.8. Not surprised to see a gain. We had sushi and dim sum takeout last night for our anniversary. I did go overboard but most of the gain is probably attributable to salt and TOM’s unexpected arrival. I’ll get back in the saddle today.
9/5 - 130.2 Phew, glad to see the water loss today even though I was confident I couldn’t have done that much damage in a day. DH and I are still testing positive for covid on Day 8. The kids aren’t positive, but we had just presumed they were positive since they had snotty noses and coughs. They still have slight symptoms so deciding whether or not they can go back to daycare is tough. Selfishly, I would rather send them, but if I were a parent of another child in the daycare I would want them to stay home until the sniffles are gone. Ah the mental gymnastics required by parenting through a pandemic I would rather not have experienced. Ugh. Anyway I just finished up a good Peloton ride and am going to try to relax with the family for the rest of the day. Have a good holiday, to whom it applies!7 -

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.

9/06 - 155.5 - Long weekend. We did end up feeling well enough to help Fam with some house remodel work (demolition stuff). Because of all the sweat and muscle soreness, I didn't bother to weigh in. Unfortunately FamHubs ended up going home early yesterday and later had a fever. FamWife had that Saturday so we are thinking she gave it to him just by proximity, similar to BF giving it to me. Spent the rest of the evening at home relaxing and drinking plenty of water. I was off yesterday for holiday and it's my Friday off this week so only 3 days requiring me to be up early. I'm going to see how I feel come Friday whether I want to go ahead and wake up for a workout. Today will be an easy 20 minute recovery row to gauge how I feel after a week of no workouts and to ease back into movement. Back to logging and plenty of water! And plenty of catching up on posts to do, as well!

8/28:
8/29: 169.8 i'm super excited over this. i'm expecting it to go up again, because sat & sun were heavy carb. days.... but at least it looks like i can self monitor to not gain weight when the tools are not available.
8/30: 173.8 not exactly sure how deceitful that weight is. i have a dentist cleaning today, and am weighing in wearing my heavy bathrobe. i am expecting some weight gain from my heavy carb days also. oh well, i'll get it all figured out another day when i don't have morning appts.
8/31: 174.4 well now, all i can do is shake my head. i went shopping this morning, and gathered up some fruit and veggies. have already made myself a nice little kielbasa/green bean/ mushroom/potato/onion hash and portioned it out into 275 cal. portions. this weigh in is happening in the afternoon, so again.... not sure how deceitful the weight is. i know it's not far off (my short trip away, my friend made me cornbread.... i love cornbread) cornbread came home with me, i'm kinda in a hurry to get rid of it, so of course i'm eating it. can't waste a good cornbread. i did go for a walk this morning, so that's a plus.
9/1: 174.4 OK, now i know.... it's not a deceitful weight. it's my honest weight. it's looking like i most definitely CAN throw away good cornbread! calories were over by 130 yesterday, but that was prior to walking. getting back on track..... i really want to see the 160's!
9/2: 172.8
9/3: 171.2 i have no idea what's going on with me or my scale!
ROUND 198
SW: 170.4
Day/Weight/Comment
9/4: 170.4 this is the weight i have to report on today. i wish it was higher (dang scale) so when i report next sunday it would look like a loss. there's a neighborhood cookout today. gonna try to stay away from the carbs. and the mixed drinks... good gosh, when i get together with these people they'll always hand me something and say "one little (insert food/drink here) isn't going to hurt ya." i can overcome "one little", but they don't seem to understand there's 30 of them! that's too many "one little's"!
9/5: 169.8 did not log meals yesterday because of the cookout. 99% of the food was especially bad for someone dieting. there was a charcuterie board that had a little corner of strawberries, everything else high fat/high carbs/high calories. my little dip in weight is probably from mega stress i've been trying to deal with which slammed my emotions hard yesterday. this morning the coping skills back in check. i haven't been able to go for walks for some time now. Dr. tells me it's sciatica, but i've had constant pain for over a year now. the pain flares up to a point that i just don't want to move at all. taking anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers is not helping, and my follow-up is not until the 29th. i may end up trying to see him again sooner.
9/6: 169.2 have to take an unexpected trip for a few days. i hopefully should be back before this challenge ends.

/nice bike ride/ That is the good news. The bad news is that I tweaked my back lifting DW’s E-bike up on the car bike rack. Trying to be careful.
Pardon if the following is TMI. This is not required, but we do share some medical info here from time to time. On the 7th I have a routine colonoscopy which will probably affect my scale readings for a day or two. On the 12th I have a Prostate biopsy.
On the brighter side, we went to see Top Gun Maverick with friends on $3 Saturday. That was a thrill a minute. Every bit as good as the first one decades ago.

/walk/ Not sure why the lower readings the last couple days, but I will take it.
9/6: 214
/very little walking/ Aaaaand a dairy queen last night. Aaaaaand fast food for lunch. No food today at all as a part of my “prep” for a medical procedure.
Yesterday evening we cooked fish in our air fryer for the first time. Used some crappie (pan fish) from our freezer. It was fantastic!

Jeez, I’m 40 pounds heavier than I was 4 years ago and just can’t seem to get a grip on myself. I obviously need a new approach. I know what I need to know about nutrition. I don’t know why I’m sabotaging myself. Sigh.

Yikes. But I know why.

9/6 / 165.6 / Back on the road today after a beautiful time in Manitoba celebrating my Aunt's wedding. As you can see my weight crept up while I was here as I had 3 back to back indulgent days. I'm glad to see it's slowly coming down again. We leave tomorrow to head west to Vancouver for my husband's bike race so I am still facing about 10 more days of vacation non-routine days. Finding ways to stay active will be key.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/4-133.8. Not surprised to see a gain. We had sushi and dim sum takeout last night for our anniversary. I did go overboard but most of the gain is probably attributable to salt and TOM’s unexpected arrival. I’ll get back in the saddle today.
9/5 - 130.2 Phew, glad to see the water loss today even though I was confident I couldn’t have done that much damage in a day. DH and I are still testing positive for covid on Day 8. The kids aren’t but we just presumed they were positive anyway. They still have symptoms, so deciding whether or not they can go back to daycare is tough. Selfishly, I would rather send them, but if I were a parent of another child in the daycare I would want them to stay home until the sniffles are gone. Ah the mental gymnastics required by parenting through a pandemic I would rather not have experienced. Ugh. Anyway I just finished up a good Peloton ride and am going to try to relax with the family for the rest of the day. Have a good holiday, to whom it applies!
9/6 - 130.2. I am determined to see the 120s this week! Turns out the kids aren’t even allowed at daycare until 10 days after symptoms onset, so my littlest is home until at least Thursday and the 3 year old is home for the rest of the week. Also my husband and I are not allowed in the building until we test negative, so I’m not sure how that would work anyway. Covid sucks.

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.

9/4 120.5 I got together with my “old” gal pals yesterday. Charcuterie board, “Buffalo” nuts and toffee nuts as well as a couple of adult beverages. I had “made” the nuts and discovered that a lot of the Buffalo seasoning was in the box so was ate some of that after I got home and drank lots of water. Perhaps I have retained some H2O but still no TMI. Maybe the excess water will help. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ Not concerned
9/5 120.5 Great Greek yesterday and left overs today. DH surgery tomorrow. Still no TMI - stress related? Finally TMI long after weighing.
9/6 120.0 Leaving in 30 minutes to take DH for shoulder replacement.4 -
