    Streaming a movie on my iPad while cleaning this morning. Great quote:

    "You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it." apparently it is by Paulo Coelho

    (I think my quote is slightly off from the movie, but I thought it better to quote and credit the originator)

    Day, Weight, Comment

    6/11 - 183
    I had two nice walks with the pup yesterday, plus 2 hours weeding. I don’t use chemicals in my garden and I’m starting to wonder why! Anyway…our favorite traveling smoked chicken guy will be near us today, so that’s lunch/dinner around 1 o’clock. I have leftover salad for my evening snack. Should work well. Enjoy your Sunday!

    6/12 - 183
    I had a good day yesterday, but woke up feeling yucky. I should go out and work on another part of the garden, but I think I’m going to go back to bed for a while instead. Maybe another hour of sleep will help. You all have a great day!

    6/13 - 183
    Deja vu all over again! I did go back to bed for an hour yesterday morning—and slept 3.5 hours! Then I pretty much did nothing the rest of the day….read, knitted a couple of swatches for gauge for new projects, took Booker for a nice walk, had several 5-10 minute training sessions with him. I needed a do-nothing day, so all good.

    6/14 - 183.2
    Salty lunch yesterday, feeling puffy.

    6/15 - 183.8
    Hmmm. But ok, whatever. I didn’t walk as much as usual yesterday, and had some ice cream last night, so makes sense. Off for a walk now!

    6/16 - 183.8
    Yep, lasagna for dinner + popcorn later, and I wasn’t even hungry. What’s up with that? Our dog training club awards banquet is this evening, so I’ll try to keep things under control today and tonight. Why does it always feel like I need one of everything or I’ll miss out? I’m going to try hard to stick to salads and a small portion of one dessert. I’m not going to eat but to celebrate everyone’s successes with their dogs last year.

    6/17 - 184.6
    I don’t get this. In spite of the banquet, I was barely (17 calories) over maintenance. Well, I’ll try to eat light today, and I’m off for a walk and then at least two hours of yard work. I’m very frustrated.

    6/18 - 184
    Okay, yesterday I was well below my calorie goal. I’ve come up with a potential solution to my nighttime munchies….I’ve been conscientiously drinking at least 2 cups of calcium-fortified unsweetened almond milk every day to fight off osteopenia, and rather than having it with meals, I’m going to drink it in the evening in place of other snacks. I did last night and it was very satisfying. Tonight I think I’ll put it in the blender with ice for a “milkshake.”
    @quiltingjaine You’re right, I’m sure there was a time lag on my indulgences. Oh well. Maybe I can at least finish the round no higher than I started.

    Thank you @quiltingjaine for another round!

    💪🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♀️🎵💃👗👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💗🌻🏖🙏

    Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
    186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
    179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170
    169 / 168 / 167 / 166 / 165 / 164 / 163 / 162 / 161 / 160 👉 159


    Stick to Plan:
    • Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500 (with a maintenace day thrown in every now and then.
    • Exercise: Row, Bike, Weights, Dance, Jazzercise, Kayak, Hike Figure out this new reality of no exertion for 6 months per doctor's orders. Ugh!! (Doctor cleared me to walk 20 mins a day, so happy about that!)
    • Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
    • Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days
    • Reduce added salt
    • Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit (very little processed foods or simple carbs which I hardly ever have)
    • I need to figure out a way to get more fiber, especially from grains.

    If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now.

    Last time I weighed was 5/17: 165.2
    Round 226
    6/11 - DNW I didn't realize it's been over 3 weeks since I posted. After my hospitalization and doctor's orders not to exert myself for 6 months (I really miss rowing), I got into a little funk. I stopped tracking my food because I was spending time tracking my heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen level. I haven't binged but I haven't eaten enough vegetables or fruit. I'm also having to eat in the mornings to take meds for the first time in my life. I'm never hungry in the mornings. On a positive note, my doctor cleared me to walk 20 mins a day. YAY! And I'm grateful to be on the mend! I haven't weighed for 3 weeks and will hold off weighing a little while longer. Right now, I'm focused on getting the nutrition I need, not my weight. I'm glad to be back and will catch up on everyone's posts over the next few days.💚💚💚
    6/12 - DNW
    6/13 - DNW
    6/14 - DNW
    6/15 - DNW
    6/16 - DNW
    6/17 - DNW - Still not weighing for now. I hit 100 days of my 100-day challenge of no bingeing or sugar. I can't believe I did it. Never thought it was possible. Sugar and processed carbs lead to my bingeing. Bingeing for 1 day leads to 2, then a week, then weeks, until I finally "start over" until the next binge. I know my triggers are sugar and simple carbs but I binge emotionally, too. What I'm grateful for is that I was able to control it during some very emotional days during this time period. Now, carrying forward, I've built up the confidence I can do this but even more importantly, I feel so much better and want to keep feeling this way! I don't think anything is wrong with sugar in moderation, but for me, it's like poison. I can't explain it but it just makes me feel horrible. And as we know, something making you feel horrible doesn't always stop you. Okay, onward....
    6/18 - DNW

    100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 6…
    ⭐=10 successful days
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    I did it! 💯days!

    I did it! 💯days!

    Breaking the salt habit (replace with spices and herbs) starting June 18. Plan: 10 days 1/2 tsp, then 10 days 1/4 tps, then 10 days 1/8 tsp, lastly no added salt (maybe?)
    ✳= 1 day 1/2 tsp added salt / ✴= 1 day 1/4 tsp added salt / ☑= 1/8 tsp added salt / ^=1 oops Day

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    6/16 212.2 (-0.3/-1.4) ~ 🙂🙂🙂 Not sure what the weekend will bring.... fingers crossed. We hHi, I'm Charissa - Round 226

    Thank you, again, QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!

    Starting Comments:
    So glad these rounds are 10 days. It really helps with the last day ending on different days for each round.

    Round 225 was somewhat disappointing. But so be it.
    I'm fairly certain that I'm not going to be where I'd like to be by my July trip, but I will just continue the journey. I still have a couple of rounds to make a difference. I'm just going to focus on a downward trend vs hitting a specific number. My goals are solid (I think) and my last few days have been strong.

    Doing the math - June fits nicely with 3 10 days challenges
    15 (weight to lose to hit 199)/30 days = .5 per day * 10 = 5.00 per challenge
    In a perfect world - But realistically just looking for downward trend.
    Challenge Goal - 5.00lbs or Weight of 209. Leaving this for reference but main goal is downward trend.

    6/11 214.1 (+0.5/+0.5) ~

    6/12 215.0 (+0.9/+1.4) ~ Here we go again, but then, It was the weekend...Last night was guilty of late night snacking, after doing pretty well during the day. The weather was yucky so didn't get a full outside walk in but I did walk for 30 minutes. Today WILL be a good day!! I see lots of new names this round, so Welcome!!!

    6/13 215.6 (+0.6/+2.0) ~ :(

    6/14 214.3 (-1.3/+0.7)

    6/15 212.5 (-1.8/-1.1) ~ 🙂🙂🙂 Not to jinx it, but this is the lowest weight I've seen in 2023!
    have two dining out events planned so it will be tough....

    6/17 211 (-1.2/-2.6) ~🙂🙂🙂 hot damn! Tomorrow will be back up I'm sure as we did a little Father's day celebrating eating out for both breakfast and dinner. Tomorrow will include a 3 Mile walk. 3 more days to finish the round

    6/18 211.6 (+0.6/-2.0) ~ Totally ok with a .6 gain with all that was consumed yesterday. Today will include a single meal out but should be within reason.

    6/19

    6/20

    @bringit2023 & @clprieur ~ here's what I found about "mirrors"...when I'm at home or work, places I frequent often, I see one person in the mirror...usually one that I just accept...but if I'm in a store or a mall and pass by a mirror, I am shocked! I think my brain knows what to show me when I'm in familiar locations but when I'm in an unfamiliar place, it shows me the "real" view....scary!!

    @Machias1949 ~ hope you found success at the car dealership. It is definitely a place of stress and I really don't understand why it has to be that way. I agree with @musicsax, never use the GPS in the car, instead I use my phone and either use Waze (which warns of police and other hazards or Google Maps)
    remember that an 8 ounce cup of coffee (and mine are bigger than that) that has not "exited" will be a half pound on the scale.
    @Smoda61 ~ Thank you for this information. I'm always trying to figure the weight of "non exited items"🙂

    6/11 217 My weight has still not recovered from the Chinese buffet on Friday. Hopefully tomorrow. I am very proud of myself today. I found out some life altering news (who I thought was my bio father is not! My life is right out of a soap opera!). My son wanted to get me food as comfort, I said no. Life tip: do not do DNA tests if you don’t want to find out crazy things.
    6/12 216 Almost recovered from the Chinese buffet on Friday. I am hoping for a whoosh today. I am still dealing with big info I learned yesterday. I did not buy wine & I did not eat my feelings. I chatted with my new biological half siblings. Fortunately for my mental health, the person who I thought was my father had no part of my identity. We were not close & he died 10 years ago. The new bio half siblings live quite far away so no pressure. It is still weird, emotionally draining & crazy. I feel for my mother since she married the other guy because she was pregnant. That was a life changing decision that made her life difficult. I know she is mad at her 20 year old self.
    6/13 217.2. I ate Kraft dinner yesterday. Felt the need for carbs instead of protein & veggies. I will do better today as I know it helps anxiety. I do not want to get depressed & I do not want to feel sad. I am not even sure what I should feel. I need to remember that the right food can heal. I do feel a ton of guilt since my mom is over the top sad about my paternity. I feel responsible. Oh well, life can’t always be simple.
    6/14 215.2. If we are keeping track it took 4 days to get back to my pre Chinese buffet weight. I am actually surprised because I ate pizza yesterday. Yesterday was the last day of allowed wallowing. So I wallowed, I didn’t eat veggies or keto. Back to the program today even though I don’t feel better. Lots to navigate as we tell my birth father & the rest of my family. From what I have read it is the secrets that cause depression & anxiety so I will get that over with as quickly as possible.
    6/15 213.8 Look at that. I am going through the biggest trauma/identity crisis of my life and I am not eating or drinking to feel better. I think I really will be successful reaching my goal. Still prepping mentally for an extended summer solstice fast hopefully for the entire next round
    6/16 213 I am still losing & not sure why. I have been pretty sedentary, and ate some banana bread baked by a customer. I have been sleeping more so maybe that is the key. I will take the dog for a walk, go to yoga & clean up my diet & do the meal prep that I normally would have done Sunday. I still feel like I am walking through mud but every one that needs to be told about my DNA has been told. Now the healing can begin.
    6/17 214 I knew it couldn’t last. TOM came to visit yesterday & somehow I woke up heavier than when I went to bed & my ring is tight. I guess my body made water while I slept? Stupid scale & stupid TOM. I am 52, it should be over.

    6/18 215. So weird & frustrating. Whatever. Curse you damn scale & TOM!

    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!

    65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 226 (my 157th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
    Goal this round is same as last; aim to get back under and stay under 139 and hopefully lose a pound. Really try to stay on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!
    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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

    06/18 -196.6- (Trend weight 195.9) I was doing great yesterday until that huge bowl of cereal at 1:00 a.m. while I was binge watching Netflix. It was more craving (sugar) than hunger. I’ve pre-logged today. I don’t think I’ll have any trouble sticking with the plan today as I travel tomorrow for the truck repairs……. The repair itself they said would take 7 hours (plus 3 extra hours of total travel time) so there will be lunch out. I’ll try to bank some extra carbs & calories for tomorrow.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Round 225: 162.5 lbs (-1.5)

    With my success at getting back on track last round, I will aim to keep the ball rolling with only two simple daily goals: calorie counting and 22 active minutes each day.

    Round 226 SW 162.5 lbs

    6/11: 162.5 lbs
    6/12: 161.6 lbs
    6/13: 161.2 lbs
    6/14: 160.7 lbs
    6/15: 160.7 lbs
    6/16: 160.5 lbs
    6/17: 163.1 lbs
    Why is it when I encounter big social events that I lose all self control? I had a plan going in to it but once I was caught up in the atmosphere of the event, I just dropped my plan and ate and drank whatever I felt like having. I don't even know what I can learn from it to do things differently next time. I enjoyed myself and these big events don't happen very often. I think I just need to leave it behind me and start again today. I showed up here so I will count that as a step in the right direction. I think I will eat at maintenance today because of I try to restrict with a hangover I may end up bingeing again.

    6/18: 162.5 lbs
    I actually stayed at weight-loss calories yesterday and did not eat at maintenance so yay for small wins. I am running out of time to turn this around. I will just keep focusing on my 2 daily goals and perhaps next round I will be back to where I was earlier this round.
