    Thank you everyone for being here for another round! I'm back too! Still have work to do! Intended to figure out how to fit kettlebells back into my life last round...and didn't even look at the set in the basement. Maybe this round?!?! My last two rounds have been very successful with tracking nutrition and staying active outside....but I'm thinking I need to work on body composition as well as just the number on the scale.

    Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
    Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
    R222 EW - 5/11 - 167.0

    5/12 - 166.8 - continuing downward. Heading up to my parents place this evening for the weekend. Might bring my scale or use Moms. DS17 has a training shift for his summer job...and it's Mothers Day on Sunday so there are a few things planned that will limit my control on the food available but I'll do my best....and I'll probably want a cocktail on the dock tomorrow if this weather holds up.
    5/13 - DNW - Wasn't able to get at the scale in Mom's bathroom before I ate BUT...she got a digital kitchen scale recently so it could accurately track my breakfast. Will see how the day goes...Dad, hubby and the boys are making dinner tonight so I'll just keep the rest of my meals light in case it's a calorie bomb. It's hard not to snack here, mom and dad are grazers and there's open bags and bowls of snacks all over the house just begging for a hand to grab a bite. I'm moving up here for two months at the end of June with the boys, it's going to be a feat of will power to get through that!!
    5/14 - DNW - still at the parentals. Super long walk yesterday and then worked in the gardens with Mom...well over 17000 steps so hopefully I counteracted the deliciously rich sauce DS17 made for our dinner last night...and the Nana cookies I didn't resist...
    Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms!!
    5/15 - 167.2 - Well, it could have been worse after a very indulgent weekend. TOM also arrived this morning so there's that as well. It's Monday! Have a great week everyone!
    5/16 - 168.6 - SO bloated! TOM day 2 is the worst! Did not get nearly enough activity yesterday...appointments!! Today we hike!! And garden!!
    5/17 - 168.8 - UGH...still bloated. Some of it TOM, some of it poor food choices yesterday. I had the TOM munchies big time and we decided to try a new spot we can walk to for dinner last night....at least we walked. There were healthy choices on the menu, but there was also a fish and chip special....and TOM won all the battles yesterday. It's so weird, some cycles I have no bloating or cravings, and then some it's like someone else takes over my body, I guess I can blame it on Peri-menopausal hormones. Hopefully I'm at the tail end and I can move on and see how much damage I actually did by the end of the round once the bloat comes off.
    5/18 - 168.0 - Ok...heading back down, feeling more myself this morning and not that crazy TOM person. Heading up to my parents tonight...I start my "summer job" tomorrow (onboarding and training). I'm bringing my scale this time, it's a long weekend and we'll be there until Monday at the earliest, I'll stay if I get some shifts next week. OH!! I signed up for something fun....it's a 50km Dog Walk Challenge for the Canadian Cancer Society. Mack and I need to walk/hike 50km (cumulative) in the month of June. I've already got $385 of my $500 fundraising goal so I guess we need to actually make it happen. Here's the link if any of my fellow Canadian dog parents want to join in the fun!!
    https://www.facebook.com/donate/609178474496187/
    5/19 - 166.6 - WoW...the bloat struggle sure was real this week! I could tell it was whooshing off yesterday. Brought my scale up to my parents for the 4-6 days I'll be here...so I'm assuming this is right, same scale different floor. Off to my first shift at my new job this morning!! Excited and interested to see how it goes! Hubby and I are pretty much "retired" so I don't need to work per-se, but I'll be living with my boys at my parents for the summer while they have jobs up here, figured I needed something to do and part time seasonal jobs are easy to come by in this town and much easier than the effort it would take to drum up some temporary freelance clients.
    5/20 - 164.6 - WHAT?!?! Not sure I believe it yet....maybe nervous energy burns calories? Very busy day yesterday learning the ropes...it's going to be a very active job which is good. They put me on the schedule all weekend including holiday Monday so no relaxing on the dock for me!!
    5/21 - 166.2 - yeah...I think yesterday was dehydration....and things got a bit carby last night. BUT...I'm still down this round so that's a WIN! See you all in the next round!

    @CamandJarvis Thank you for fighting fires!!!!! <3 do branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) or fish oil help with your recoveries? your work sounds amazingly intense.

    Thank you! I honestly don't do much. This was only my second fire since I joined the department so I haven't gotten a good system in place. I do have Liquid IV to add to my water bottle to help replenish electrolytes (also a great thing to have if you're feeling a little hungover). I used this on Friday's fire as it was larger and hotter (the day was already incredibly muggy). I was already dehydrated and exhausted from the morning's run and then I was sweating quite a bit on the fire. We bring coolers of waters and sodas (in case sugar drops out) but we could only indulge once we stopped the fire from spreading. I drank a full bottle of water after the fire on the way back to the station and then drank another bottle with the Liquid IV in it to help electrolytes from the amount of sweat once I got home.

    https://www.liquid-iv.com/?ip_campaign=9340734852&ip_adgroup=93239618103&ip_ad=657070142346&gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwgqejBhBAEiwAuWHioPKD5yTVeLyBoc8BEwl6wj1KHmmMoEH3O8nJA6xP3_r-tjU68qp7VxoCRqoQAvD_BwE

    I'm going to be doing research as it's coming up on good, toasty Texas summer heat and the time when fires are more common - I'll have to see if there's anything that I can supplement to help take the worst of it off. I hadn't thought to do that so thank you!

    5/19 - 154.5
    5/20 - 156.3
    5/21 - 156.8 - And here's a false high! Not too worried, I feel bloated and heavy, Friday is likely still hanging around, and last night I ate closer to maintenance with ribs and I imagine plenty of sodium. I'm still trying to catch up on hydration from Friday as well. Today's focus is healthy, balanced meals and plenty of water or dandelion tea (I'm obsessed with it and I'm out of peppermint). I barely hit 5k steps yesterday, a truly lazy recovery day. I woke up this morning hoping to take the pups for a walk but it's raining (we need it, so I'm not upset) and will be for a few hours. Hoping this evening it'll stop long enough for a walk. Once I post, I'm planning on reading and pedaling gently on the bike for some healthy movement in place of the walk I planned. BF has an early night due to a 3am wake-up to catch a plane so we are just hanging out at the house. I'm unsure how tomorrow will look - he plans on being out of the house by 330 which means I have 2 hours until my alarm. Will I fall back asleep once he's gone? Will I be wide awake? I might head to bed a tad earlier than normal to ensure I get enough rest. I also have to go represent BigBro to verify his residence to get his driver's license changed from Kansas to Texas now he's an adult and decided he's living in Texas (before he kept Kansas as he was a minor and dual-resident due to his mom being in Kansas. Now he has to change it to stay here). Hopefully I get enough sleep to look alive. My C25K W8 training is up in the air - if I feel rested enough and weather allows, I'll run. If not, I'll adjust to run 2 in a row like last week to make up for it.


    Previous Day's Comments
    5/12 - Up a smidge from lots of carbs and sodium. I ended up eating spaghetti with a small side salad I threw together (but just now realized I forgot to log the salad...I had the calories for it so not a big deal) only for BF to decide to go to Thirsty Thursday last minute anyway. Ugh. I felt the carb-heaviness all afternoon. Dinner wasn't terrible but he made mashed potatoes with, you guessed it, garlic salt. He loves salt and he'll be the first to tell you. UGH. I'm waiting for the sun to peak up just enough (about 20 minutes) while typing and drinking coffee to take the pups on a quick walk, both for me and them. BF said his alarm is for 7, he'll drink coffee, and THEN start moving towards leaving so I have plenty of opportunity. All I have left is to wash my face and brush my teeth (after coffee is consumed, always if I'm not out and about). Goal today is to get as many steps as possible despite driving. Also, aiming for at least 64oz water without requiring extra stops or being up all night tonight. Logging food and really eating slowly to make sure I can tell when I start feeling satiated, not quite full to stop eating. I'm hoping to limit the damage of eating fast food and gas station junk today and Sunday as much as possible with little tweaks. Have a great weekend, everyone! I'll see you again Monday.
    5/13 - Out of town - family reunion
    5/14 - Out of town - traveling home
    5/15 - I'm 98% sure I'm only this low due to dehydration. I'm back to work today and therefore back to routine and habits. 23 hours in the vehicle between 7:30am Friday morning to 8:15pm last night. My body is so sore. I'm pushing off my workouts until my body feels recovered enough - I feel like attempting to work out at the level I have been is a recipe for injury. Walking and yoga will be my friends this week. I'm expecting a blip up these next few days as I re-hydrate immediately followed by all the good pre-TOM bloat that occurs that I anticipate happening later this week. I'm hoping everything will start dropping off by the end of the round, but I'm putting it out now: I don't expect this round to end on a "good" note. Either the same or slightly higher and I will NOT be upset with myself no matter how hard it is to logic the upset out of me.
    5/16 - I guess I'm hydrated-ish again - hope so after 100+ oz of water! I'm not sure if this is still travel bloat, pre-TOM bloat, or a little of both because I still feel squishy and puffy this morning. At this weight, maybe I lost some fat and only have a blip up from bloating! A girl can hope and dream... I've been sleeping in and I finally feel like I've conquered my sleep debt - woke up at 630 and went straight into a walk with the pups. Drank coffee and wrote in my journal once we were back. Planning a quick yoga session for lunch break as well. I'm thinking tomorrow I may try to run if I'm feeling this good at 530 - repeat C25K week 7 (25 min runs) and save Week 8 (28 min runs) for next week since I have a late start to the week. Ankle is a little sore from all the storms so I'm going to monitor my body before I make any final decisions. Today I'm making up some "honey" lemon chicken with steamed broccoli and rice for lunch meal prep the rest of the week. I'm subbing maple syrup for honey in case BF wants some as there will be extras- he's very allergic to honey. I'm about to pre-log the most calorie-dense Taco Tuesday meal we make as well as this meal prep to ensure I'm good on the calorie front. I fasted until 10am yesterday so hoping I can fast until lunch today without issue - it helps a lot. Also planning on an after dinner walk with the pups again. All the rain forecasted for this week is now pushed to Friday and beyond.
    5/17 - I have banished the bloat! Well, travel bloat that is. I'm expecting TOM any day now and unsure where the pre-TOM bloat is hiding. Last night I felt really awful as I did evening yoga (work got busy so I ate, cleaned the kitchen, walked the pups, then did yoga before curling up to read and sleep). My belly was so bloated and, honestly, it looked like I had one of those 5lbs of fat visuals just sitting on my stomach under the skin. My clothes do a good job covering it, I guess. It's gone this morning, though, thankfully, and I feel back to normal. I'm getting ready to go out and run. I'm not sure, I might just hit 20 minutes this morning but I could also give myself 5 more minutes and do the 25 like a repeat Week7 of C25K. I'll see how I feel at 10 minutes out and if I can make it back up those hills or keep going a bit longer. I have "honey" lemon chicken bowls with bell pepper, carrots, broccoli and rice for lunch today and unsure dinner.
    5/18 - Scale even flashed 154.9 a couple times before settling here. What in the world have I done right? Maybe all the plateauing and bouncing around the upper 150s was broken by all the travel and change ups happening? I'm still not quite believing this is real and expecting a pop back up any day now. However, TOM arrived this morning and I think the drop is due to some of that bloat dropping off. Maybe by tomorrow, pending any sodium run-ins, I'll see where I land with hormonal bloat completely dropped off. Slept in an hour to finish a dream and then rushed for a walk with pups before work. Taking breaks to journal and check in/catch up this morning. Will aim for another walk this evening. Maybe yoga, too? Yesterday I did a post-dinner walk with them and then hid in the step-daughter's room to knock out yoga in peace as I felt my poor legs needed more of a stretch than I gave them after my run. Much better this morning.
    5/19 - Something weird is happening....I should have been UP today...Maybe it'll show up tomorrow..BF was overly stressed and busy with work so I decided to make chicken tikka masala with rice and flatbread (in place of naan bread which I didn't have enough yogurt for both). I had pre-logged and was over just a smidgen - small enough I could make up for with my planned post-dinner walk. Well, oops, I had forgotten to pre-log the rice... and realized it AFTER I ate. I was over 253 calories on Fitbit and 435 on Fitbit for the day. Based on Fitbit burn estimation and MFP, I was at a 200cal deficit still, but that's assuming Fitbit and MFP (which feed each other) are accurate on my burn and I was accurate on eyeballing what 1/4 a pot of food was hahaha! Today is a run and I'm procrastinating as it's the weather app says its foggy and it looks very humid. Possible severe storms later this evening into tonight so I don't doubt it'll feel miserable on this run with that moisture in the air. Goal is 1.5 miles, better if I manage 2 but it's simply a maintenance run and I'm not pushing myself too hard. Especially if it's humid. Off I go then..
    5/20 - I knew 154 had to be a false low but I'm definitely up today from what I figured is real weight. This uptick is likely a combination of salt yesterday and then Thursday's maintenance calories day. Yesterday I think I over did it with the run and then not long after my grocery trip, we had a grass fire call come in. Out there for a couple hours in full gear with high humidity, 80 degree temps AND fire just a couple feet from me. Whew, I was definitely overly dehydrated by the end. Went to bed with a dehydration headache despite my best efforts. No doubt I've got some sodium bloat from trying to get some electrolytes in as well. Also I was really hungry yesterday and ate an immense amount of food - 2,700 calories! I was running on empty apparently. Granted, my Fitbit said I burned 4,001 calories yesterday from everything. I didn't do too much physically other than the run and the fire call, but apparently my body was working overtime to keep me going.... I could've been thirsty and mistook it for hunger, but also with how I felt, I wasn't upset to eat so much more - my body needed fuel for sure! Today is a total rest day. Possibly (not guaranteed) going to Fam's for ribs later this evening but no other plans. I'm aiming for 10k steps still, but otherwise giving my body much needed rest. Not feeling hungry, just thirsty, so I'll focus on tea and water until my body tells me otherwise. Hoping tomorrow the scale will level out and I'll feel a little more balanced out and hydrated.

I’ve been cutting down on activities that take me away from other things I need to do. It’s wonderful to be here. Thank you @quiltingjaine ! Karen
    5/20-162-Yesterday, I started out counting my calories and tracking my food finally; that was an awakening. Heading to my neic’s graduation /birthday party..
    5/21-164–I’ll take that after 5 hours in the car and sitting at a party all day. Horse, quilting and chopping weeds today.

    Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 223

    Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

    Round 222 not the best. My take-a-way: lack of planning. Not just meal planning but event planning. Cinco de Mayo snuck up on me but I tried to manage the intake. Then my derailment came with my husband's surgery. Poor food choices and wine to end the day. Must get back on track in this round. The good news, I didn't totally erase the progress made in round 221! There's hope!

    Projection/Actual
    5/21 ~ 212.9/ 214.5 ~ Not thrilled with this round. Really had hoped to undo the damage from round 222, some but not all. It's so easy to gain (unless you're trying to gain) and so hard to lose! Time to get ready for the next round!


    Prior Days This Round

    5/12 ~ 216.5/216.3 ~ New Round🙂 Yesterday was almost normal. Stayed within calorie budget, got my steps in. Short on water and didn't focus on hunger levels. Husband is back home, now the real fun begins!!! 🍎🚶🏽

    5/13 ~ 216.1/215.9 🍎

    5/14 ~ 215.7/215.4 ~ Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and those that serve in a mothering role! Enjoy your day. I am very ready to get back on track for the remainder of May.🍎👌✅🚶🏽

    5/15 ~ 215.3 DNW - Just didn't want to see it. I'll look tomorrow. Splurge with cheese and crackers and some chocolate flavored wine.

    5/16 ~ 214.9/217 ⬆️ Well, I guess I'm glad I didn't look yesterday. I've got to get a handle on this. Funny, when I projected May - I didn't see such challenges. My meals are all pre logged for today and I'm under budget. Steps are trending nicely for today. I will focus on getting at least 64 ounces of water in...🍎👌🚶🏽

    5/17 ~ 214.5 215.9 ~ Yesterday was decent - now to just continue...🍎👌🚶🏽

    5/18 ~ 214.1 216.7 ~ Not sure what happened here... up .8 from yesterday and yesterday was a great day for me. Still a little short on water but all else was on target. Days like this make me not like weighing daily, but If I didn't, I feel I'd lose all control. Continued focused today and should see a "swish" tomorrow....🙏🏽🍎👌✅🚶🏽

    5/19 ~ 213.7/ 215.9 ~ So much for that "swish".... Kinda bummed...but I will forge ahead. Yesterday was another good day. Got my water in (65oz), went for an additional 40 minute walk at lunch (16,653 steps for the day). Slightly over on calorie count but it was my low calorie day. Target 1050 - came in at 1326 (still good as far as I'm concerned). I am going to start tracking measurements so see if there's any changes elsewhere to help boost my morale!

    5/20 ~ 213.3 214.9 🍎👌✅
