6/29 DNW Holiday
6/30 DNW Holiday
-
7/1 142.8 (trend 142.7) Ok, back to normal today. 2lbs up from the day I left for my holiday, not that bad! We got back at 3am last night and managed to resist stopping for food at the services on the motorway. I'm glad it's the first of the month and the start of a new round, else I might have been tempted to put off getting back to tracking until after the weekend. We had a bit of a disaster on the way to the airport. OH had strained his back putting the bikes in the shed so I'd had to do all the heavy lifting putting things in the car etc. When we stopped to refuel the hire car, I had to do it, which isn't something I've done in Portugal before. I got all flustered trying to prepay for the fuel with my limited Portuguese and ended up putting diesel in the petrol car! 5 minutes later we had broken down on the highway and had to call for recovery. Luckily our flight was delayed or we would have missed it, but I'm dreading finding out how much it's going to all cost us and am feeling very cross at myself about it all. OH has been quite chilled about it so far, but let's see when the bill comes in.
STEPS 5,343
7/2 140.8 (trend 142.4) I didn't do great yesterday so I'm very surprised to have this big drop today. Spent most of the day lazing on the sofa and had far too much of the apple and strawberry crumble that my daughter had made. Time to pull my socks up and get active.
STEPS 2,795
7/3 140.2 (trend 142.1) Yesterday was almost an exact replica of the day before, ate the wrong stuff and didn't get any exercise... self sabotage? anxiety? On the plus side another drop and my lowest weight since restarting in January. I'm beginning to suspect this is muscle loss not fat loss though.
STEPS 1,844 !
7/4 141.0 (trend 142.0) I'm not surprised to be back up today as I ate a lot of bread yesterday, no self control. I got myself out for a walk but the heavens opened and I got drenched so had to cut the walk short. I feel like I'm self sabotaging and I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm afraid of hitting my first goal of 140lbs as then I have to step into the unchartered territory of the 130s. I'm also feeling quite down on myself for the mistake with the hire car, we still don't know what the bill is going to be or how difficult it will be to claim on the insurance and as I'm not working I have no way to contribute so am feeling guilty about it. So maybe I'm punishing myself? My anxiety is raging at the moment, I have guests coming to stay this weekend and am not feeling prepared for it but am procrastinating. Urgh.
STEPS 11,419
7/5 139.8 (trend 141.7) Another undeserved loss, and quite funny to be in the 130s after mentioning it yesterday. Didn't manage to get in a walk as it was raining again. I really need to get a raincoat, but I have a good one that is slightly too small so I'm reluctant to spend money on a new one as it should hopefully fit me by the autumn. I went to the gym for the first time in nearly 3 weeks, it was tough but I'm glad I got it out of the way. Then I had an appointment for a procedure at the beauty therapists and after that I succumbed to the laziness/anxiety/procrastination again. Binge watching Schitts Creek and eating junk. Not planning to get out today, I need to knuckle down and get the house sorted out.

Day, Weight, Comment
7/01 #125.2 -Starting up from yesterday, but may have not been truthful counting calories yesterday either- so I need to not lie to myself, this should be added as a goal. Injured myself playing pickleball ( my favorite activity) in May. Going to try playing for a short time this morning, scared and excited. Think I will come home afterwards and do my PT exercises and cardio, once I see how it goes.
7/02 #124.8-Wow, I did not realize that using the food scale is a practice and art easily forgotten. Struggled yesterday, since I cook so much, adding recipes, then dividing, since not sure what the servings were going to be since I was making it up. I am sure it will get easier as I go, notorious taste tester, need to handle that. God looking out for me, only was able to hit pickleball for 5-10 minutes, huge storm rolled in, bummer looks like rain all today. Looks like stationary bike and housework. 4 minutes deep squat yesterday.
7/03 #124.4, I know slowly and surely are best but it sure is nice when you have focused all day on weighing, not snacking and making good food choices to have a little more drop- But I could also fo other way so much more frustrating- So Eeks, I am happy and maybe not filled with joy but a little joy I moving in right direction. Lots of squatting yesterday, over 7 minutes and 4 minutes at one time. Forgot to weigh my fish before i put in airfryer. But better job weighing yesterday. Soon to be ex husband took the elliptical left me with the spin bike. Not able to play Pickleball because of weather so had to bike.
7/04 #125- Eeks, I know it is probably water retention but mentally I struggle going backwards when I put so much effort yesterday. I did actually get to play pickleball since be sidelined since May 7, when I got hurt. I was scared and overthought every shot but actually went very well, AC joint sore in afternoon and last night. Debating going right now, So nice to be outside, socializing and running around, might make me forget I gained weight. Did 10 minutes yesterday of resting squats, not at once but got 4 minutes at one time.
7/05 #124.4 Really seem to be resistant to change. Did do a redo of guided set up, now that I have gone back to work definitely not as active, bummer recommends 200 calories less. Sore from pickleball, was only able to play for an hour or so yesterday, but did my weights and PT exercises. 10 minutes of resting squats- did 4 minutes again. Experimented with protein powder cookies - surprisingly good. Going to try to reduce my alcohol.

Round 227. EW 226.2 (-3.6)
Round 228
7/1 224 (-2.2) 22 hr fast. I kind of accidentally did this long of a fast. I got to 18 hrs and wasn't really hungry so thought I'd go longer. I'm heading into a long weekend where there will be alcohol and treats so I expect an uptick for the beginning half of this round.
7/2 DNW
7/3 DNW
7/4 226.2 (+2.2) not surprising that I'm up considering the alcohol and junk food I had all weekend.
7/5 226.8 (+0.4) 18 hr fast. I've been seeing info about IF and it aggravating high cortisol levels so now I'm questioning this protocol a bit. I'm going to wait out a full month/6 weeks and see where I end up before making a decision on it

7/05 - DNW - I woke up and chugged water a couple different times through the night so I decided to forego weighing. I feel like it'd be a false high from all that water. I'll see the damage done from yesterday tomorrow anyway. I did do pretty good overall, especially in the food department, but there was beer involved. I don't even like drinking beer when it is that hot, but we all ended up buying each other a round which added up through the day. I got all my steps and such in, though, and met my calorie goal despite all the liquid calories. By the time fireworks happened and we got home, it was 2 hours past my bedtime so I decided to put off my workouts. I'll try to take the dogs for a walk after dinner tonight to make up for it. It's supposed to storm between 5-6 so maybe it'll cool things down and I can walk them around 7? We shall see. I have 3 rounds in my kettlebell workout circuit with 3 exercises each so I'll divide those up through the day. I'll knock the first one out after I post. Likely one around lunch and one in the afternoon (after lunch slump?). Just because I slept in doesn't give me a free pass to miss out on my workout. Not when it is typically done next to my work desk anyway haha!

Previous Day's Comments7/01 - Sodium blip. BF wanted out of the house (don't blame him) so we went and got Japanese at a new place. This one was definitely more mom-and-pop shop, homemade versus the other place which has more of a chain restaurant vibe. I did really well with pushing my plate to be taken away after piling my trash on it once I was full, a HUGE NSV. I'd normally feel obligated to pick at it while others ate and try to finish it to get my "money's worth". I didn't leave hungry, my taste buds were satisfied (even happy as I was craving sesame chicken), and I didn't feel sick from overeating. That was my money's worth despite there being more food on the plate. Not sure plan today other than SD has a "volunteer" job (they get paid but it's just to help increase staffing for a one-day event) from 1-9. Then that place puts on fireworks from 9-9:30 so we're hanging out at the fire station (upon request) in case of need (so dry with these record temperatures). LittleBro will come with us and SD will meet us there (it's maaaaaybe 1/4mile walk from the place she's working) to watch the fireworks together. Once I post and catch up reading, I'll stretch my poor sore hamstrings out while I read as everyone is still asleep.
7/02 - Scale blipped down to 151 range before settling higher. I do feel a tad puffy from the garlic salt at dinner, but not as bad as before. I'm also still very sore in the hamstrings despite setting aside time to stretch yesterday. I will do so again today. We had a freak storm form over us last night bringing much needed rain. My intended morning walk with the pups was also canceled due to continuing rain this morning. Oh well. Tomorrow is a scheduled walk, weather-permitting, and my kettlebell workout. Likely another lazy day today, especially with all the rain. If so, I'll keep reading like I did yesterday. It's nice to read my own books during the day and then my Book Club book (for that month) before bed.
7/03 - There we go. I'm still holding on to water weight - we went mini-golfing and to TopGolf. First mini-golf was outside and no food/drinks on the course (which at 100 degrees in the sun is not at all smart...but that's just me). Had lunch and then a round of indoor mini-golf (a bottle of water cost $7 so.... yeah, didn't happen). Finally we went to TopGolf which I drink 2 large glasses of water. I didn't want to make myself sick, though. Also, though all this, I managed to be 1,300 steps shy of 10k. How?! So much walking. Ended up skipping dinner as lunch was at 2pm and very heavy. None of us were hungry by dinnertime. Today I took the dogs for a walk and completed my NF Journey kettlebell workout. Tomorrow is a day off, but I'm supposed to run. I'll see how I feel, soreness-wise and sleepy-wise, in the morning. Making veggie chickpea curry for lunches this week for myself. SD said she'd try it, too.
7/04 - Happy 4th to all my fellow American friends! Little fluctuation, not worried about it at all. I did enjoy a small bowl of ice cream and took my lactose pills immediately after. It satisfied the craving and fit into my calorie goal perfectly so the slight bloat isn't a concern. Today I slept in until 630 and still managed a run. It wasn't a long one, but I only said "a run" not a time or distance so I've managed to check the box. I'm trying not to put a hard and fast rule to it otherwise I'll lose all desire to even continue running until I have no choice but to train for the other 5k I've signed up for in November. Anyway, I'm hoping everyone wakes up in time for me to run through the shower quickly before we have to leave for the parade and other events going on today. It's a very social day and I'm not sure I'm ready for it mentally. Oh well. I feel stronger about my food and movement choices now that I've done my run so hopefully that mental strength will also bleed through into my people-ing ability. I have a general plan today (I vaguely know the lunch offerings and the event this evening is likely to be the same ol' American-fare for the holiday so not terribly hard to guess) and hopefully plenty of opportunity to get my steps in.

EW Round 224: 196
EW Round 226: 193.2
I am coming off a 10-day maintenance round. I’m experimenting with a cycle of doing 10 days at a deficit followed by 10 days at or just above maintenance. Repeat. It’s partly inspired by the MATADOR study but mostly is just my way of making this process sustainable.

7/3 DNW. I forgot this morning. I am struggling a bit and I’m craving carbs, so I’m going to spend the next two or three days getting the carb cravings under control. Plan is no more than 50 net grams of carbs but not worrying about being in a caloric deficit until I have the cravings under control. This strategy usually works well.
7/4 192.6. Carb cravings aren’t as bad luckily. And it looks like I’ve lost some water weight.
7/5 DNW. While I’ve been good about low carbing it, I’ve been having to eat at weird times and when I’m not hungry so that I can take Advil. It seems to be the thing that works best for this dry socket I’ve got going on. I think this round might be a bust for me. That’s okay. After this round, I’m on vacation for the rest of July, so I think I need to give myself permission to maintain or maybe even gain a little (but not much) this month. A lapse does not need to give way to a relapse. I won’t go crazy for the rest of the month, but I will allow myself to maintain or gain just a little and then get back to it in August. Dropping out for now. Good luck and take care, everyone.

7/01 - 182.6
Happy 🍁 Canada 🇨🇦 Day to the Canadians on here. Although I was born in the States, I am proud to be Canadian by parentage, and all my sibs were born in Alberta. I can’t believe it’s July already. The year’s half gone! July is “eye month” for me, with cataract surgeries this Monday & the next one, and then a string of follow up appointments. Not my idea of summer fun, but everyone assures me I’ll be glad I did it. I’m trying not to think much about it! Nervous. But I don’t seem to be channeling that into food, so there’s that. Now to keep it that way!
7/02 - 183.2
Yep. I ate a lot yesterday, including two pieces of cake. Yikes! I some of this is obviously water — can’t gain half a pound of fat in one day. I feel like that got the urge out of my system and today will be more controlled, although I’m quite nervous about tomorrow. Anyway, it’s love out right now, and our air quality is, for now, back to good. Have a happy Sunday!
7/03 - 183.2
Monday, Monday…. First cataract surgery coming up this morning. I’m very nervous, but keep telling myself it will be over in 3 hours, other than waiting around for a post-surgery check up. Then I get to do it all again in a week. I know it’s pretty routine, and everyone tells me it’s a snap, but still…. Anyway, my calories should be lower today!
7/04 - 183.6
Happy Fourth! My cataract surgery went well. My vision in that eye is like looking through thick gauze because of the meds they put in, but no other pain or discomfort. On our way home mid-afternoon DH wanted a Whopper & fries, so I got the same — was pretty hungry by then — which was my first such food in years! Then I had ice cream late evening. Not great, but my calories weren’t much over my goal, so other than a lot of salt I think it was ok. Back on track today. I don’t think I’ll be doing much until my vision clears, but it seems to be getting better every hour. Many thanks to those you sent well wishes!
7/05 - 185.2
Yep, there’s my Whopper and fries from Monday, plus some salty junk food yesterday — chili cheese Fritos, Parmesan garlic pita chips, like that, plus barbecue ribs and potato salad. Recovery foods. 😁 Back on track today, menu all planned, including lots of water. My vision is clearing, but I still have blurry spots from the medication they put in my eye. Hopefully it will clear more today. Neighbors were shooting off LOUD fireworks (no sparklies, just noise — I don’t get it) until well after midnight, so I might need a nap. 😌 I hope all my American friends here had an enjoyable 4th.

07/01 -197.8- (Trend weight 197.4)
07/02 -197.6- (Trend weight 197.5)
07/03 -196.6- (Trend weight 197.4)
07/04 -195.4- (Trend weight 197.2) A very nice drop overnight. I consider this loss water weight. I’ve been propping my legs at least 30 minutes per day (heels over heart) since they took away my water pill due to my blood pressure getting too low (and to protect kidneys). Yesterday evening and all night I shed water (finally). Ankles are so relieved! However, the last two days no TMI and the last two nights only 3 hours of sleep and fitbit shows that even those 3 were not of any quality. More loss to come if I can get those two things in order. BBQ today so I will likely eat out of plan. I’ll watch quantity. I’ve already made some SF Jello with SF whipped cream so I’ll be okay on the dessert front. However, I WILL be adding some festive red & blue sprinkles on top!
07/05 -195.4- (Trend weight 197.0) I was over on both calories and carbs yesterday due to the holiday BBQ but the scale played favorites with me today. However, I am traveling today to get the recall work done on the car this time. Probably a little shopping also while in the city. I’m sure the scale will not sustain my weight two days in a row. But I’m hopeful that if I’m mindful and I tiptoe, I won’t wake that baby up!

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 over 6 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

7/3 127.0 Supposed to meet high school friend for lunch but I’m sending DH to Urgent Care since he’s still congested and coughing.
7/4 127.5 🇺🇸Happy Birthday USA🇺🇸I wish all of my fellow Americans a wonderful day. Okay with this slight uptick, OMAD was a beef chimichanga with my HS friend and my DH. That certainly would have been a better choice without the tortilla but they are made in house and SOOO good! I wasn’t hungry the rest of the day but should have had a lot more water. Between spending about 4 hours in the car and sitting about 6 hours at the racetrack in temperature over 105. . . I drank a lot of water when we got home after 11PM and went to bed. Community “picnic” this afternoon - hot dogs, hamburgers, sides I don’t eat. I will indulge in an adult beverage and perhaps dessert.
7/5 128.5 Indulge I did. And we ate 3 hours later than I like. I woke with foot cramp and later calf cramp during the night.7 -

7/5 226.8 (+0.4) 18 hr fast. I've been seeing info about IF and it aggravating high cortisol levels so now I'm questioning this protocol a bit. I'm going to wait out a full month/6 weeks and see where I end up before making a decision on it
Yes, @jelleigh, I've read some similar information. I suffer with high cortisol and Adrenal Fatigue from stress. I bought a glucose meter and have been my own test subject on how certain foods affect my blood sugar. Now I'm testing my blood sugar level on different IF times to see what is truly best for me. My BS is sometimes higher than I want it to be 1st thing in the morning. I don't know if that's just because of the dawn phenomenom or I get high numbers because any stressor makes my cortisol shoot up higher. After a couple of hours, my blood glucose drops to a good level and before I eat my first meal it's fine. I do know at 22hrs, my BS will drop anywhere from 84 to 73mg/dl. I usually don't fast more than 24hrs, but for research sake I may do it just to see what happens. I'm probably insulin resistant from so many years of having high cortisol levels.
@quiltingjaine, I began taking a liposomal magnesium supplement a couple of weeks ago and have not experienced any leg or foot cramps. I'll post some information about it later.

7/1: 134.0 - Well, not a great way to start a round, but hopefully can only go down from here.
7/2: 133.8 - I just love (not) how my weight will take these 1 pound jumps up over night but then sloooooooowly work its way down.
7/3: 133.2 - Last night’s binge has not yet shown up on the scale, but it will soon.
7/4: 133.2 - Hmm…I thought I did pretty well yesterday. Holding steady.
7/5: 133.4 - Too many sweet treats yesterday

@tiabirdie56 Tish, I had to instantly Google liposomal magnesium. I look forward to “hearing” about your experience with it.3

Round 225: 162.5 lbs (-1.5)
Round 226: 161.4 lbs (-1.1)
Round 227: 159.0 lbs (-2.4)
My main goal this round is to not comfort eat. I need to find other ways of coping. I will try to exercise the adrenaline away to minimise the damage to my body from stress. I will also use my ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) skills to work through my anxiety.
Round 228 SW: 159.0 lbs (trend 160.0)
7/1: 158.5 lbs (trend 159.8)
7/2: 158.3 lbs (trend 159.6)
7/3: 158.1 lbs (trend 159.4)
My weight loss has been unusually consistent the last few days. In an attempt to not go off track at dinner, I have been trialling a larger snack late in the afternoon. It seems to be doing the trick and I am no longer eating more at dinner than planned.
7/4: 158.3 lbs (trend 159.2)
7/5: 157.9 lbs (trend 159.2)
Another stressful day but hopefully most of the cause of the stress will clear soon.

Hi Everyone – Looking forward to another challenge, my 4th.
Female, 5’4”, 57 years of age
HW: 210 (May, 2022)
CW: 149.2
GW: still don’t know… hope I’ll know it when I see it in the mirror… chasing a “healthy” BMI first
Goals: Continue working on same goals from previous round because it seems to have worked!
Cardio: 8/10 days (only days I struggle with this are Sunday and Wednesday due to lack of time)
Bodyweight Train: 3/10 days <- The biggest struggle of mine currently. Really need to do this!
Logging Food: 10/10 days (using a food scale every time!)
SW Round 228: 149.2
7/1: 148.6 - bouncing around that 148* - truly hope it sticks this week. Did my early morning 60-minute Zumba class this morning and just finished meal planning and writing my grocery list for the next several days. I am off from work for the next 4 days... I feel so decadent! Had to buy a couple new sports bras this morning as I am shrinking I've also notice my sandal straps around the ankles are looser... need DH to punch some new holes for me.
7/2: 149.6 - and I continue to bounce. All good here. Was supposed to have the family over for lunch and game day, but oldest DS is sick, so we're going to attempt to do this on Tuesday instead. On the bright side, that means I can do my workout early instead of trying to do it late and being too tired to get it in. Looked in my closet to see what I can fit into... I have a dress that I've had for a couple of years where the material and the cut just hug the body. A few weeks ago, it still did not look all that great on me even though I have already lost around 60 pounds, but this morning, it is almost passable. I'll try it on again in a few weeks... hope springs eternal.
7/3: 148.2 - makes me smile to see that, even if it is fleeting. Going to try to get an extra workout in today since I am home, and I won't have my Zumba class tomorrow. Other than that, pretty quiet for me.
7/4: 147.7 - Oh yeah - very pleasant surprise this morning! Having a cookout with the family today, so don't expect that to stick, but still, nice to see. I am cooking, so I can control the what, but I need to also control the how much. Definitely have both healthy and not so healthy choices... but I fell kind of empowered now to stay on track.
7/5: 148.6 - SO Hard to get up and go back to work today. That 4-day weekend felt good. I made mostly good choices yesterday, but also allowed myself an indulgence or two, nothing out of control. After everyone left, I got a little bit of a workout in. All in all a successful day. Tomorrow is going to be a stressful day, but I have my after work cardio dance class to look forward to, which also means I won't have time to eat the stress away.

Me too; calf cramp wakes me at least once during the night, sometimes numerous times.2 -
@quiltingjaine and @musicsax, My experience with it is wonderful! so far.
~I now experience deeper, more restful, uninterrupted sleep. I have always been a very light sleeper and as I have gotten older, I sleep only about 4 hours nightly.
~No leg or foot cramps and none of those cramps that start in your ankle and creep up your leg.
~A lot less nerve tingling, especially when I take B12 and Alpha lipoic acid with it
~No constipation!
~A lot less stress- I can truthfully say that I did not get the cortisol surge when my husbands blood sugar sent him to the hospital. I feel like I have control over the cortisol, which I don't, the magnesium just allows me to have a much calmer physical reaction.
I have always taken a magnesium supplement but this liposomal magnesium is a game changer for me. The brand I am taking is Juvetirpo. It is a combination of magnesium threonate, citrate and glycinate. 2200mg in 2 softgels. 2200mg seems quite a bit high to me though, so I don't take it every day. I take it every other day and if I forget to take it, its because I am not experiencing any symptoms.
