11/07 - 161.4 - Lots of mechanic and house work this weekend leaving us eating fast food almost all weekend. Did have wings for "linner" while watching football yesterday. I made sure I got some raw carrots and celery in as well. BF has jury duty selection today so I'm on my own all day. I already did a 10 minute rowing workout and a 23 minute yoga practice this morning. Might be able to do some lunges and pushups during work breaks without crazy looks, though! Also realized I give myself time to actually do things without feeling rushed simply by setting my alarm 15 minutes sooner. I hit snooze and get up at 5:54 to get dressed and moving! Especially helpful as I start work at 7. Tonight's dinner is a sausage, bell pepper, potato skillet I make. It's pretty calorie dense, but it's super simple. BF loves it and since we don't know his schedule with this jury duty, I volunteered dinner duties. I have some roasted sweet potatoes to eat up for lunches as well as a butternut and acorn squash I need to cook up here in the next few days for lunch as well.

Previous Day's Comments11/03 - Scale doesn't show, but I feel muuuuch better. I don't look or feel quite as bloated as even yesterday. Scale isn't accurate, but it IS consistent. Body fat percentage is down (only 1% higher than first week of Sept, pre-travel), water is leveling out right around Sept numbers, muscle mass increased back into September range, (yippee, back to when I worked out consistently!) Progress is being made. Recomposition? Readjustment? Whatever you want to call it, it's positive changes. Scale weight is being a bah-humbug cranky butt and deceiving me... Though I'd really love it to cooperate so I can see 150s again..soon. Pretty please, scale?! Anyway, rowed for 10 minutes followed by yoga for flexibility this morning. FamWife just texted about some Asian Bake recipe (said "it's like sushi in a pan, all cooked") so we doing that tonight. I'll have to guestimate and work around that for lunch.

Umm what is this bake recipe?!
Sorry I'm so late replying to this! I don't have the actual recipe, so I'll describe what she did. Note: our grocery was out of stock of a lot of stuff and her son has a liver transplant and cannot eat raw fish so we played it extra safe with the limited options we had.
Imitation crab, smoked salmon, and shrimp. Chopped that up into small pieces. Made sticky rice, put it on bottom of shallow pan. Then mixed softened cream cheese in with the "sushi" pieces and layered it on top. Baked it in the oven for a bit. Cut it up into small squares, took dried seaweed snacks (they're amazing) and nom nom! Recipe called for drizzling sriracha and some other sauces on top, but little kids don't do spicy well.2 -

/mowing & leaf pick-up over my noon hour/ Two days ago I weighed almost 4 pounds more. It was he aftermath of a careless weekend, too much salt and not enough TMI. So this drop is not a great accomplishment. None the less, I am happy to see it.
I logged my food yesterday for the first time in a while. I must confess, when MFP took the barcode scanner away from “the unwashed” such as myself, it took a little bit of the shine off the app.

11/03 - 176.2
I went for a nice long walk in the woods yesterday, but on the way back to my car I tripped over a crazy bunch of grass and fell. Skinned and bruised my right palm, and my left knee has a big colorful lump. I’m fine, just tender, and trying to figure out how I landed on opposite limbs! But the woods were lovely, full of crunchy leaves and that wonderful fragrance of fall. Today I’m off to hang out at the dog show, see friends, smooch dogs. Have a great day, everyone!
11/04 - 176.4
I had a lovely time yesterday hanging out at the dog show, seeing friends, some I see all the time, some from other places I see only occasionally, and playing with dogs. A friend from Indianapolis whom I met on a train in 2011 was here showing her dog, and came for dinner, which was lovely. And in spite of the lobster ravioli with olive oil and Parmesan, a little wine, and a piece of lemon pound cake, I stayed under calories for the day. (No lunch.) I also go lots of steps walking around the Coliseum for 3+ hours! I’m writing today but plan to spend most of tomorrow at the show, trying to figure out what kind of dog I want next, which is weight-related since I get a lot more exercise when I’m playing with a dog! 😁
11/05 - 177
Ok, time lag from Thursday. That’s fine. I just got home from all day at the dog show again, walking or standing most of the time. It was fun to see people I haven’t seen in ages. Staying home tomorrow to write and make soup.
11/06 - 176.6
Nothing to report since I checked in late yesterday. Planning a creative day—write (working on an idea for a new book), make soup (once I land on a recipe), knit, go for a walk, read…. I hope you all have a lovely Sunday!
11/07 - 176.6
I made a really yummy new soup yesterday—butternut squash and apple. Interesting combo! And low calorie. Leftovers today. Yum. That’s the 42nd different soup I’ve made this year. 🍵

11/3 - 💪🏻✏️⏱ 124.4. I was here before my trip last week. We’ll see if I can get below it! I did my 100th Peloton ride yesterday! Most of those rides have been since June so I'm feeling pretty good. I also had a single piece of Halloween candy which seems like a big success. I definitely have a Pringle problem with snack-size candy--once I pop I can't stop!
11/4 - 123.2! That feels good. If my Renpho scale can be trusted, I would hit my initial body fat goal of 25% today! Not sure if I do trust it, though. I did a strength workout and Peloton ride yesterday. Today will be tough to get a workout in because my 3 year old was sent home with an earache and fever yesterday so he’s home with me. There’s always something. At least it’s Friday though!
11/5 - 124.4
11/6 - 125.2 - the weekend is striking again. I’ve worked out at least a little bit both days but haven’t paid much attention to my intake. I went to a women’s story circle gathering last night and enjoyed a wide variety of snacks and too much wine. Today we had pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and we’re having subs for lunch.
11/7 - 127.2 Ahh, why do I do this to myself every weekend? I was so far off the rails all weekend. We finally had a weekend at home. I did get my workouts in at least. It's a new week! I'm sure part of this is water retention, but I'm probably going to have to work on this all week just to get back to where I've already been.

11/7 215.0 Back from two glorious weeks of vacation along the Mediterranean coast, where I got lots of steps, ate and drank what I wanted when I wanted it, and generally tracked nothing and paid no attention. The morning we left I weighed in at 210.0 and this morning I weighed in at 215.0. I imagine a lot of that is sodium and lack of consistent water intake, so I’m pretty pleased. While we were traveling, I thought several times about how glad and proud I was that I had lost 50 pounds pre-trip, just so I could do more things that I wanted to do and enjoy doing. So it’s not that hard to come back and get back on plan (at least not yet) – our next vacation is in the spring so I’m going to hold on to those positive thoughts to get me through the next five months!

11/07 -198.8- (Trend weight 199.9) Goodbye bloat but no pill today so I’m going to work like the devil to still make real progress. I’ll be painting today. Maybe even raking and burning leaves depending on how ambitious I feel. Gotta check the weather report! If I could hit 196 point anything in the next week I would be so happy.

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👍👍 Round 204
My goal is to lower my blood pressure through weight loss and exercise, so what I eat, and when, is a major focus for me. I am trying to use a heart healthy diet while intermittent fasting, which helps to take care of my mindless snacking in the evening. I am limiting my alcohol to social occasions only.

11/5 / 168.6 / I am dealing with some very low moods. I am happy I am keeping it mostly together. I have very little energy right now. I am not finding my motivation for exercise. I am not dealing with food as well as I'd like, but well enough. I need to turn things around and get back to under 165 where I want to be maintaining.
11/6 / 169.4 / I woke up today feeling refreshed. Went right from my bed to my Peloton. Did my push-ups. Had a healthy smoothie to start my day. It's amazing the difference starting on the right foot can make!
11/7 / 167.8 / Today feels really positive as the last time I weighed less than today was Sep 8, which means this moment feels like an opportunity to capitalize on. Currently catching up on here and then I have plans to exercise before bed.

That's the last 0.2 pound of holiday weight gain gone. Now to move on to the weight that crepy on before I went! I'd like to lose a pound this round.
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. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

11/03 - 160.2 lbs. Did one hour of crossfit. Felt so fatigued and out-of-fuel that I chose to eat 200 calories above my goal to make room for more carbs today. I need restitution tomorrow. Think this is my 6th or 7th day without a rest day. Feeling FOMO as I won’t be signing up for the gym tomorrow 😅 I would love to go, but my body says NO 😂
11/04 - 160.2 lbs (no change). Been enjoying my rest day 🌟 Sticking to my calorie goal today. Considering doing some kind of carb cycling for the days I do crossfit. I feel like I need to up my carb intake a bit without necessarily turning up my calories too much. My CF workouts feel better when I eat a carb-«rich» meal 2 hours before. I had a couple of days where I ate cottage cheese without any added carbs before my workouts, and it’s been horrible 🥲 Lesson learned. Girls who eat lift bigger plates 🙃

11/6- 178
11/7- 182.2
11/8- 180.4 it is going back down quick! Lol was going quicker until I got home from my workout to find DH had made a 3 course seafood feast for dinner. He did his best to keep it light but it was not exactly what I needed. Oh well, I would never in this world hurt his feelings over one meal (especially one I did not have to cook).
I’m still not ready to restrict myself enough for faster weight loss. But maybe the frustration of gaining and losing the same few pounds will push me forward one of these days.8 -

Whoa! I absolutely have to shut the barn door on this backslide! It's 3:30am and have been up for just over 1/2 an hr. Sorted a couple of piles of clothes, wrote out a workable meal plan for today. It's cold outside and has snowed so snow removal after work will be my exercise minutes. Have a 2 1/2 hr zoom session this evening, then the challenge begins ... need to shut down the mindgames that give permission to evening snacking.

11/08-121.9 Every so often I find it wise to stop and contemplate the bigger picture; today seems like the perfect day for that. So I ask: Why do we call the FAT BLOB below our natural waistline- "muffin top” or “love handles”? No wonder it is so hard to get rid of. Over the years I think I have banned it–but somehow it returns like a rotten watermelon.
“IT” THINKS I LIKE IT.. I need to call it out for what it is.”a pimply roll of fat resembling a hippo’s rear end.” It should now feel less wanted. I hope that works and I have made it clear exactly what I think of it and it will go away, back into the deep bowels of the unloved. I understand not everyone will agree with me (body loving and all that) However-I FEEL MUCH BETTER! —Oh, did I mention I hate my scale and am planning on renaming it also?

11/08 - 161.5 - I accidentally made dinner too salty and I can definitely feel the puffiness from it. I'm also suuuuper thirsty first thing which also means good ol' sodium. Woke up and knocked out a 15 minute rowing workout and then 10 minute morning yoga practice already. Today is voting so I'm trying to determine a good time to sneak into town (county HQ) between work to knock that out. Also have to go into the OTHER town (address... have address for a town in one county, but live in the other county... its weird. And annoying when you have errands) to the post to pick up a package they claim I requested to be held. Um, no. It's a springform pan to make strawberry swirl cheesecake and my strawberries are going bad while I was waiting for it (supposed to arrive Friday. They just told me yesterday...after lunch...) but I may have to hold out hope the strawberries will hold on a little longer and I'll go on lunch break tomorrow since I'm thinking I'll vote on lunch today. Gaaaah. BF didn't get picked for jury duty so he's free now. Let's hope things go a little smoother the rest of the week (: EDIT: I just confirmed I'm good to vote (with address change. I am) and found out my Ranch's fire department (HOA) is a polling center so I only have to drive a mile! THAT I can do. Yippee! Maybe over lunch then, I go to the post office and on my way back home, I'll stop on the way at the firehouse (have to drive past it anyway)

Previous Day's Comments11/03 - Scale doesn't show, but I feel muuuuch better. I don't look or feel quite as bloated as even yesterday. Scale isn't accurate, but it IS consistent. Body fat percentage is down (only 1% higher than first week of Sept, pre-travel), water is leveling out right around Sept numbers, muscle mass increased back into September range, (yippee, back to when I worked out consistently!) Progress is being made. Recomposition? Readjustment? Whatever you want to call it, it's positive changes. Scale weight is being a bah-humbug cranky butt and deceiving me... Though I'd really love it to cooperate so I can see 150s again..soon. Pretty please, scale?! Anyway, rowed for 10 minutes followed by yoga for flexibility this morning. FamWife just texted about some Asian Bake recipe (said "it's like sushi in a pan, all cooked") so we doing that tonight. I'll have to guestimate and work around that for lunch.

11/07 - Lots of mechanic and house work this weekend leaving us eating fast food almost all weekend. Did have wings for "linner" while watching football yesterday. I made sure I got some raw carrots and celery in as well. BF has jury duty selection today so I'm on my own all day. I already did a 10 minute rowing workout and a 23 minute yoga practice this morning. Might be able to do some lunges and pushups during work breaks without crazy looks, though! Also realized I give myself time to actually do things without feeling rushed simply by setting my alarm 15 minutes sooner. I hit snooze and get up at 5:54 to get dressed and moving! Especially helpful as I start work at 7. Tonight's dinner is a sausage, bell pepper, potato skillet I make. It's pretty calorie dense, but it's super simple. BF loves it and since we don't know his schedule with this jury duty, I volunteered dinner duties. I have some roasted sweet potatoes to eat up for lunches as well as a butternut and acorn squash I need to cook up here in the next few days for lunch as well.

11/4 / 168.4
11/5 / 168.6 / I am dealing with some very low moods. I am happy I am keeping it mostly together. I have very little energy right now. I am not finding my motivation for exercise. I am not dealing with food as well as I'd like, but well enough. I need to turn things around and get back to under 165 where I want to be maintaining.
11/6 / 169.4 / I woke up today feeling refreshed. Went right from my bed to my Peloton. Did my push-ups. Had a healthy smoothie to start my day. It's amazing the difference starting on the right foot can make!
11/7 / 167.8 / Today feels really positive as the last time I weighed less than today was Sep 8, which means this moment feels like an opportunity to capitalize on. Currently catching up on here and then I have plans to exercise before bed.
11/8 / 168.4 / Got my Peloton exercise in before bed last night. Not ideal timing, but so proud I could make it happen. Slept decently too so I'm ready to tackle this snowy cold day at the office.

/mowing & leaf pick-up over my noon hour/ Two days ago I weighed almost 4 pounds more. It was he aftermath of a careless weekend, too much salt and not enough TMI. So this drop is not a great accomplishment. None the less, I am happy to see it.
I logged my food yesterday for the first time in a while. I must confess, when MFP took the barcode scanner away from “the unwashed” such as myself, it took a little bit of the shine off the app.

/no exercise/ We have two snacks at the office. Peanut M&Ms and Peanut butter filled pretzels. I may have been involved in a one-person snaccident yesterday.

Starting weight at end of last round.

/not/ Almost back to my starting weight. Yesterday’s food intake was very controlled. I had to consciously tamp down the temptation to pack the pie hole. It’s hard.
Going to exercise my right to vote today.

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.6
