~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.

@tiabirdie Can you take 1 softgel daily at 1100mg? I am going to Amazon to find it. Is that where you ordered it?0 -

7/06 #124.2- I am telling myself slow is good, losing weight slowly means I actually losing fat and not just water fluctuations...Putting great effort into weighing my food, created this medley for lunch: TJ cauliflower gnocchi, chicken sausage, asparagus, and colorful tomato medley, fried it up, and then poured in separate bowl to measure, so I can divide into 3 servings. I have been working on my just dirty the dish complex, one more dish to clean is not a big deal- My wonderful mother was the most fabulous cook, but she was messy, dirty so many dishes every night. I was the awful daughter who did the dishes and just complained... She has had several strokes the last year and can no longer talk and only can eat soft foods, my heart breaks for her quality of life. But I am rejoicing in the lessons she taught me, so just dirty the dish and measure! A thank you to God for my mother! - on a different note, did a 5 minute resting squat, 10 minutes total. 1 hour pickleball, physically sore, but mentally sorer- frustrated in 2 months could lose so much of my game, sure it will calm back but with working so hard need to accept will not reach that level of play again.

My 17th Round
Age: 53
7/6 I had a super upsetting mtg with my boss yesterday and I felt the urge to drink afterwards (which I have not felt in a long time) and when that passed then I felt the urge to eat/binge. I was able to let both urges pass, thankfully. I started crying near the end of the mtg and had to turn off my mic and type my last few comments in the chat. I was crying too hard to speak. Then I couldn’t stop crying so I decided to log off work for the balance of the day. (I had a bunch of other mtgs scheduled and did not think I could be present and effective for those.) I was able to ask hubby for some time alone and I decided to feel my stupid feelings. I was able to label my feelings (“I feel sad and angry and unsupported”) and also identify where I was feeling that in my body (“I feel that in my stomach and my chest is really tight”). Then I reminded myself that feelings are temporary and will pass. And I remembered that if I could not calm down, I had an ice pack in the freezer to put on my eyes, if necessary, which was good to remember but I ended up not needing it. I’m glad I was able to remember some coping strategies even though I was very upset. Today I am thinking “I am just having a rough patch with my career. This is very common and happens to a lot of people. All I can do is make a plan to move forward. This will pass and things will get better.” It is unusual for me to not be thinking “I am a failure and I am stupid and I can’t do anything right and why bother and I should just quit” etc. although I did feel the “I should just quit” feeling right after the upsetting meeting. When I did think that, I was able to remind myself to not make any decisions when I am feeling so upset and think about it again later. I had previously booked today and tomorrow off to prepare for my kayak/picnic day on Saturday, so I have until Monday to calm down about it and hopefully return with a better attitude on Monday.
@clprieur Thanks for sharing your coping mechanisms and the specific way you feel and address your feelings. It will be helpful to me and to many others, I'm sure. I'm glad you got through those feelings. You are right. Certainly the intensity of the feelings will pass allowing more clarity. I am glad you have a few extra days to sort your feelings out. Prayers and good vibes to you dear girl!

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!
07/06 -196.6- (Trend weight 197.0) Well, I knew the holiday and the travel would catch up to me. Today, however, should be a banner day. Babysitting overnight and all day tomorrow for DGS. Tomorrow, he will keep me on my toes!
07/07 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
07/08 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
07/09 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

7/6 203.8- I’m a little late joining but I am finally down 7 pounds since May and want to keep up the motivation. Did Morning stretches and jump rope and will be working out around 5pm. Tracking Water, Steps, Meals and exercise. Also started this new thing if I think about working out I have to stop what I’m doing and do 10 push-ups.

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 feel 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.
7/6: 148 - As suspected, fairly stressful day. I have made a deal with myself, I can eat more calories than I plan (will still be deficit for day due to cardio dance class tonight), but I cannot eat any unhealthy for me choices. So I made sure to have extra fruits, veggies and some 0% Greek yogurt available... plus nuts. I LOVE when fresh produce is both bountiful and delicious!! It has really helped me stay away from my co-worker's birthday cake that is being shared in the office today!

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)

7/2: 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.

Happy to see a big drop, but with body fat percentage up, I'm sure it isn't anything permanent right now? I'll take the win anyway! 🏆 yesterday I reduced calories to 1200, rather than 1500, and I am thinking that it could be worth doing 1200 perhaps a week on week off, just to make it achievable, as then I will be able to make a bigger change and when I have my off days or whatever, I'm not almost starting over again. Just a thought. I am going out for dinner tonight, and won't be able to get a workout in. I'll stay away from the alcohol, but as a vegetarian, it will be hard to stay away from the carbs 😅 I have lots of sewing planned for the rest of the weekend so that should stop me from snacking! Happy Friday everyone 🎉🎉🎉5 -

July 3: 221.8
I was out most of the day today. My knee was horribly painful (tore my meniscus last month 😥) you do not realize how important your knees are until they are damaged. Pup will get a break from a walk today - besides, it's 35 degrees out there. #idonotfeelguilty
July 4: 223.8
A gain today. Likely because I had popcorn last night. This is why I have difficulty weighing in every day. I go up and down and i get frustrated.
Will persevere and keep focused.
July 5: 223.4
Out and about today.
Got an afternoon swim in the river too! It was like a bathtub it was so warm.
Worked the knee, but man..it is so sore.
Must keep working on the physio.
July 6: 222
Feeling good I am down...but I need to work on getting significant loss. Its too much!
Happy to have kept after dinner snacking to a minimum the last 5 days. That always makes a difference.
Friend coming for the weekend. This may derail efforts but will do my best.8 -

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 228 (my 159th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is yet again the same as last; to get back under and stay under 139. Holiday to Menorca is in 72 days, if I don’t crack on I’ll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes and I do not want to do that. So, 72 days, 7 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down otherwise before I know it I be up in the 150’s. Cuz that’s how weight just keeps creeping up on one !!! 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.

SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW current MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

7/1 (Mass) – 126.0 (Renpho 125.6) After two days of misbehaving, yesterday was going to be good. Day was tracking well. Dinner last night was us experimenting with cooking pizza on a pizza stone on the grill. Bought too much dough. Made too much pizza. Ate somewhat too much pizza. Felt like lead and was asleep before 8 PM. Today is leftover Pizza……
7/2 (Mass) – 124.6 (Renpho 124.4) Pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But all tracked and now all gone. Total calories for the day were 1752. I keep keeping my target calories low (set at 1500 right now). I need to invest some effort in finding what a correct number is so I can aim for it instead of restricting and binging. I am staying between the 124 and 126 despite my behavior, so that is a minor “win”. Will keep working on finding what works for me in maintenance, and maybe restricting and overeating is ok as long as I monitor overall.
Shoot. Opened the door to go walking……finally. Now it is raining. :’(
7/3 (Mass) – 125.6 I cannot have those extra cookie ingredients around the house. Today technically should be easy, and the ingredients are gone and cookies are being delivered..
7/4 (Mass) – 125.2
7/5 (Mass) – 125.2 (Renpho 124.8)
7/6 Maine) – 124.8 (Renpho 124.4)
7/7 (Maine) – 123.8 (Renpho 124.2 - odd Renpho seems the logical one this AM) Yes, I am alive! Just a super distracting week. 7/3 – long day helping parents followed by other obligations 7/4 - 4th at my daughters and caretook my parents throughout 6/5 – crazy day catching up and then getting up to Maine 6/6 – no excuse but I do have to brag how well my diet was that day even with going out to eat at night exercise is nonexsistent, but hey that is easy to maintain. :P Today, tracking will be good. Going to get some exercise yet to be determined and going to run some errands. Oh, I will read through all the posts!!

I don't know why, but walking seems to help the edema in my ankle. Walking around with one compression sock on while wearing shorts is somewhat humbling. Not all "new normals" are fun.
Speaking of normal, here is one I need to change. Does anyone else ever wake up from a "trance" and find yourself standing in front of your open refrigerator without really knowing why or how you got there?
It is not really as dramatic as that, but you get my point maybe.

Happy Independence Day! Went to a parade this morning. Fireworks tonight.
Cooking some ribs today for the family. Trying a new way. Sous vide the ribs for 24 hours. Then finish 45 minutes in the smoker. Fingers crossed.

Bad habits were kept reasonably in check yesterday.
The highlight of my day was introducing my 6-year-old grandson to the game of chess. A natural progression from tic-tac-toe don't you think?
It all started when we were looking through some of our games at home and he saw the chess board and pieces. He said he wanted to play. (Imagine what was going through my head about teaching a six-year-old how to play chess !) I decided to power through it. Hahaha .
I was thoroughly amazed how well he stuck with it. All the way to the end. He loves Minecraft and Zelda, so it was refreshing to see him enjoy something without a screen.
His dad is addicted to video games, and it's kind of rubbing off on him.

7/07 - 153.2 - Went to Fam's and had wings which always make me puffy but that was somewhat offset by water weight dropping off due to being so diligent about re-hydrating after Tuesday. My belly, especially, is puffy and looking very large in comparison. I'm also having a bit of tummy issues but I think it has more to do with dairy (homemade blue cheese dressing) and it's causing things to look worse than it really is. I hope so, at least. I was also over calories but I made sure I listened to my body and I was truly hungry. Anyway, I walked the dogs this morning. I still have my kettlebell workout to knock out real quick once I post this. Have the rest of chickpea and veg curry to eat up as I put 2 containers in the freezer for later weeks for lunch and completely unsure dinner. Lots of water, as well. Hoping I can see progress over this weekend as I have the final weigh in here AND a weigh in for Nerd Fitness on Monday. Oof. Talking about going to the river Saturday so hopefully I can get some good movement in and I'll be distracted from eating too much junk. EDIT: Kettlebell workout is complete.

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.
7/05 - 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!
7/06 - Not as bad as I expected. I still feel puffy and bloated since it is not unusual for it to take 48 hours for my body to release water after I've re-hydrated. Over 100 ounces yesterday, whoot! Calories were on the high side, though, so that isn't helping. Ended up taking the dogs for a walk after dinner. I did 2 of the 3 rounds of my kettlebell workout as I forgot to do the last round after my walk. Ran a little over a mile today with both dogs. It's such a pain but they start to whine and bark which wakes everyone up if I go without them. Unsure today as it's Thirsty Thursday but we aren't going to our normal bar&grill as it's gone downhill horribly. I have plenty of my chickpea and veggie curry so I'll eat that regardless of plans for the day so I get my veggies in and fill myself up on something healthy. Simply hoping I can stay on track and see this bloat drop off in the next day or two.

7/6-164-Yesterday was Quilts of Honor, making quilts for veterans. Today is Featherweight Club where they give us a box of fabric and a pattern and we start making it; usually you can finish a quilt top in that amount of time. We are also having a potluck…..Tomorrow is our charity quilt day that I usually host once a month at my house, but we are having it on a Saturday instead at the quilt shop. So, today is day 2 of 3 of sitting and sewing, luckily I can leave when I want to. Today I’ll run home early to help the lady across the road at her “park” to prepare for her 8/19 event.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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
7/6: 134.5 - I had a great day yesterday with a good workout, good sleep and not eating back my exercise calories. The scale is finally catching up with my past sins.
7/7: 132.9 - And back to where I started this round. 2 days in a row of good workouts and not eating back my exercise calories.

@Danceswithdogz (I dance with my cats and they hate it) Regarding weighing every day. For me, the value of daily is learning patterns and cause and effect on the scale. I am no longer shocked my uptick after a high volume (still in my system) or high carb (I retain fluids) day. Knowing this can be helpful. If one weighs more randomly and steps on the scale after one such day, there is no data to have told you that days reading is likely high. Anyhow, weighing patterns are up to the individual and should be whatever supports that person best.
@39Flavours I surprisingly loved Schitts creek!
@anabirgite I want to try and make the cottage cheese ice cream that I frequently see
Took a walk/run break to remove excuses. Just got in from 6 miles!
@jelleigh I have been hearing things about not aggravating cortisol as well. A recent one was a podcast on “belly fat” and it talked about types of exercise. So many things to thin about
@fitby44 One of my favorite dining out tricks to not feel deprived is two appetizers. One used as appetizer and one as my entrée. I’m a foodie so it makes me happy. :P
@tiabirdie56 @Quiltingjaine @Musicsax Hubby is the cramp person. His are had when they hit. I don’t know how, but Hyland's Naturals Leg Cramp Tablets stop them quickly. Will tell Hub’s about the liposomal magnesium.
Caught up through page 8. Going to go make breakfast.

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 feel 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.
7/6: 148 - As suspected, fairly stressful day. I have made a deal with myself, I can eat more calories than I plan (will still be deficit for day due to cardio dance class tonight), but I cannot eat any unhealthy for me choices. So I made sure to have extra fruits, veggies and some 0% Greek yogurt available... plus nuts. I LOVE when fresh produce is both bountiful and delicious!! It has really helped me stay away from my co-worker's birthday cake that is being shared in the office today!
7/7: 147.9 Heading to a funeral this morning, then to work. Last night's cardio workout was awesome - love a good sweat session. Stuck with my promise to myself - only ate healthy choices, didn't worry about how much. Feel pretty good this morning. Happy Friday Y'all!

Day, Weight, Comment
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.
7/06 - 183.8
That’s a bit better. I knew yesterday I was full of water! My vision has mostly cleared, and although my glasses are not correcting optimally (which was expected), they’re not bad. Of course, I get to do this all again next week. 🤪 But I’m feeling strangely energized, and am going to make myself some schedules and set some goals beginning in August — I want to get back to serious writing, get Booker’s advanced trick titles by December, get him ready for his first obedience and scent work titles this fall, and get back to painting regularly. And walking! I guess I hadn’t realized how much having these surgeries hanging over me was weighing me down. I am confident that getting back to the activities that buoy my spirits, and to my real work (writing) will help me get seriously back on track weight wise. Oh, and when registration opens I’m signing up for an online fitness class aimed at getting dog-sport competitors in shape. It sounds great and gets rave reviews, so there’s that! Now to clean my office and rearrange so I can do things when I’m ready! Sorry a lot of this doesn’t sound weight/health related, but it is!
7/07 - 184
Not much to report. I’ve had a string of very quiet day as my eye heals, which has let me do a lot of thinking. I’m feeling energized this morning to get some cleaning a garden work done before my next surgery on Monday and quiet stretch next week. Booker seems to be shedding his puppy coat — black hairs everywhere — so vacuuming is first up! And I can finally wash my hair — had to avoid water in my eye. Yay for that! Sometimes it’s the little big things! 😊 Here are some flowers for you all. Happy Friday!

@SModa61 Do you happen to remember the name of the podcast about belly fat? I’m curious about the exercise part2
-
@clprieur I’m sorry you had such a hard day at work, but thank you for sharing your coping strategies — helpful for many of us I’m sure. I actually implemented some of them yesterday after reading your post, as I was stressed when DH came home with a bloodied hand from our big, playful, completely non-aggressive but short-on-impulse-control adolescent pup.
@tiabirdie56 I just ordered some liposomal magnesium. The stuff I’ve been taking no longer seems to do the trick for leg cramps, so I’ll try this. Thanks for the info!

7/6 - 189.8, not the best day. Started out really good, but then the pull of my chair and cheese pleasures got to me. Thinking that maybe I should throw out my chair or at least make it so that I can't just sit easily. I tracked my food this morning, which is better then not tracking but I need to get in the habit of tracking as the day goes. I was just under for my calorie count, barely and in truth because I didn’t track as I ate I probably under represented what I ate. My water intake is still very low, need to work on that. 5,961 steps (38,560 left), 2 Floors (56 left), 36 Zone Minutes (207 left). Farley and I did not get out for a walk last night it was simply too hot for him. I think that I am going to have to start taking him in the morning.

7/2 - 189.4 - bad day. Didn't track, didn't wear Fitbit most of the day 1,894 steps (69,618 left) 1 Floor (70 left), 5 Zone Minutes (386 left). Water not tracked. Smoke and bad air quality was back.. Spent the day baking donuts and watching TV, not great.
7/3 - 190.4- good day, didn’t track my food that well . Strength training completed, 6,902 steps (62,716 left), 5 Floors (65 left), 31 Zone Minutes (355 left).
7/4 - 191.6 - overall good day. Didn’t track food or water I really need to get this on lock. Rest day from strength training, muscles are sore from the other day. 9,443 steps (53,273 left), 3 floors ( 62 left), 31 Zone minutes (324 left). I listened to 2 episodes of the coaches cup podcast. Took Farley for a walk last evening, we didn’t go as far the other day but we got out and he had fun
7/5 - 190.4 - average day, it got a little hot in the afternoon and the smoke was really bad again from the fires. I finished tracking my food this morning. I was over for my calorie count. My water was little low, still need to work on that. 8,752 steps (44,521 left), 4 floors (58 left), 81 Zone Minutes (243 left). Farley and I didn't get out for our walk due to the air quality. I did a new strength training workout. Found it on YouTube Senior Fitness Seated Dumbbell Workout For Beginners | 20 Min, it is part of a workout series Senior Fitness with Meredith. I think that I am going to continue to use this one. [ /Spoiler]4 -
