I've been dealing with a lot of overwhelm and stress, so I knew I'd act up around food (hello maladaptive coping). I'm not taking the weight gain well.5 -
Yes, another round!
Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my fourth round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. So far I've been doing great despite a lot of stress in my life. I had one "cheat" day on my son's 13th birthday because I made homemade pizza and enjoyed three slices of it. I have felt no need to "cheat" since then which makes me very happy. I keep telling myself I'll eat a bag of chips when I get to X weight, but that weight comes, and I feel no need to eat the chips and want to continue eating healthy to lose more weight. Amazing for a carb junkie.

8/10 - 265.8 - 3.04 miles - I had planned to work in the yard laying more mulch and shoveling rocks, but as I got close to home after my walk, I started feeling really queasy. I'm not sure if it was the heat (it was only in the mid-70s) or something else, but I decided to just go inside and rest instead. This weekend is supposed to be super hot so I'm not sure how much I can get done. The plan is to get to bed early today so I get up early tomorrow and get out for my walk in the early morning so I'm working in the yard before the heat sets in. We'll see how that goes.
8/11 - 264.8 - 2.37 miles - Worked for an hour in the yard shoveling rocks again and finished laying mulch on that side of the yard (YAY!). Then went on an hour walk when it started getting really hot. Didn't feel very well after that but it passed eventually. Then I spent 2.5 hours making homemade pizzas for the family so today was a cheat day. Last one was July 14 when I made pizza for my son's birthday. It tasted so good. Wish I could have more but I came in under my goal (barely and that's just an estimate). I'll make it up in the next couple of days so it's not a big deal.
8/12 - 264.2 - 3.29 miles - Went over on my calories today because I just couldn't resist having pizza for breakfast this morning (what is even the point if you don't eat it cold the next morning?). But I'll make it up in the next couple days--it's not the end of the world. I didn't do any yard work either because of the heat. I did go on an extra long walk by exploring some culdesacs along the route that I don't usually go down. We are now under a severe heat advisory or warning (can't remember which). It's supposed to be nearly 100F tomorrow so I doubt I do much and will get out for my walk really early. Same with Monday and Tuesday. Then my grandson is back so not sure what I'll do. Feeling good despite the stumbling with the pizza (I just cannot resist pizza; it's my favorite food).
8/13 - 268.2 - 3.06 miles - Four pounds! I'm not sure what to think about that. I made sure it was clean under the scale and reweighed myself. It didn't change. I'm not sure how eating 2 slices of pizza, half a sandwich, half a salad and a cup of pasta equals 4 pounds. According to my numbers I was only about 140 calories over my goal (not including exercise). Very strange, but not the end of the world. It just sets me back a few days I guess. I resisted eating any more of the pizza today and even passed on mac & cheese with dinner (had the burger and some fries, though). That gave me the space to have a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich (man, I love those things). I also pretty much finished the mulching of the yard. I have one bag left and have laid 18 of them. I still need to pull up some grass growing where it doesn't belong but it's looking much better. Thankfully, I got it done before the heatwave hit (supposed to be in the 100s all week I think). And with that heat, I need to be in bed early to be up early to do my hour of walking before the heat sets in for the day. So, I'm off to bed now.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 231 (my 162nd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
Goal this round is to get back under and stay under 138. Holiday is now in 31 days, I still need to crack on & lose a few more pounds, starting to get back into some holiday clothes, but can't let up: time is running out! So, 31 days, 3 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!! Really try to stay on track & do another complete round without binging. 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.

8/9. 138.2 - 138.2, 11.54 miles walked, 165 floors, a third of exercise calories eaten back. Into Matlock, climbed up to and along the top of the gorge, down into Matlock Bath, had a coffee & then climbed up to the top and along the top of the other side before the return walk back. 1.6 pound down from end of last round, & no binge in
whole of the 10 days, very happy with this 👏.
SW Round 232 138.8
8/10 138.8 - 13.92 miles walked, we went in the opposite direction to Chatsworth Estate, up behind the house, along the ridge & back down through the woods, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
8/11 139 - had 2 little DGDs yesterday for the day, youngest is getting over chicken pox so restricted where we could take them; picked raspberries then took a picnic up into the Darbyshire Dales, managed a very slow 4 miles in total, ate more than exercise calories.
8/12 138.8 - moved caravan over to Retford in Notts, a beautiful little site on the banks of a stream and every pitch has a staging over the stream with a picnic table in it. Managed 5.26 mile walk around village, 100 calories over.
8/13 139.2 – spent the day at Bolsover Castle, it has the oldest indoor riding school still open and in use in the UK; we had tickets to see a manège display on how William Cavendish used to train his horses before he went into battle in the mid 1600’s, so fascinating, we then went on a guided tour of the outside of the castle before wandering around the inside ourselves, just manage to rack up 3.87 miles, but they were not at a good pace, just a bimble! Just read my post from yesterday – spellchecker changed a few of the words, looks like I was drunk when I wrote it!!
8/14 141.6???? Travelled back home, managed a 5.5 mile walk before we packed up and left, then after unpacking at home we hit the garden; dead heading, weeding and tidying after 10 days away, looks lovely again now, miles racked up to 7.45. Pizza night, hope this jump is due to sodium, 95 calories over.

8/13: 312.4
8/14: 314.4 ⬆️ (+2 lbs)
Main two reasons for the gain:
1) My legs are really swollen (have poor circulation) in my body, which can cause swelling in my legs.
2) Bad choice of having pasta for dinner last night. Causes weight gain for me. Mostly I try to always eat low carb. Not just because high carb foods can cause weight gain; but, also they tend to raise my blood sugar. (I'm a type 2 diabetic.).
Had a weakness for some pasta last night (luckily, that doesn't happen very often) Hopefully, water weight will decrease in a day or two.

8/10 219 This is exactly where I started last round. The difference is that I know I am up because I had a hard yoga class yesterday & my muscles are sore (not because I ate cookies). I am very close to being my normal self again. It’s a good thing because I have to work full time in September so now is the time to finish dealing with all of the mental stuff!
8/11 217.7. I feel like I will be making progress again. I said no to my family’s request for takeout supper. I did some gardening & cleaning, took a walk & did yoga.I slept better last night & FIL is coming for a visit this weekend so I need to get our house cleaner than it is so I may skip yoga & just concentrate on cleaning & gardening today after my walk.
8/12 218.6
8/13 220.2
8/14 219.6 The scale is all over the place just like my calorie & carb intake! I am going to experiment for the next month & fast Monday-Friday & eat on the weekends. We have something almost every weekend but I really want to make some progress before my niece’s wedding on September 16th. I am pretty sure I am in the right mood to do this. 🤞🏻

8/14 - 152.8 - The pup was much more patient this morning so I could verify my weight was recorded. I'm quite happy with this number. I'm still very very sore and I'm sure not fully recovered from the slight dehydration Saturday so it's nice to see its still in my "maintenance range" of 152.9 or less. If I can maintain (or even lose) through tomorrow morning, I'll be right where I was hoping to be before travel. Then it's simply work to maintain to the best of my ability with airport food and eating out. Fortunately I was told this morning we don't have to be at the plant until 8am Wednesday morning which gives me time to get breakfast. I'll grab a couple extra things that will hold overnight for Thursday morning so I don't have to spend my own money at Walmart for a microwave breakfast. Whew! It's really nice to pre-plan things like this - I'm making the choices when I'm not stressed or in a hurry and I have my goals in the forefront of my mind. Chicken tikka masala with rice and naan tonight. Kettlebell workout and walk done. I'm set! One last day of routine healthy habits!

Previous Day's Comments8/10 - TOM came out of nowhere unexpectedly and quick. I'm very hormone-puffy type bloated and crampy this morning. I'm also still sore from Monday and now yesterday's kettlebell strength workout so I imagine I'm holding on to water there, as well. I wonder if the stress of this week threw my body out of whack a bit. Likely so. I ate normally yesterday, hit right about my normal amount. Had 8 calories remaining according to MFP which is good. Today I have my meals planned out, including breakfast should I need to eat before lunch. BF is dealing with severe dizziness and we are waiting on a call back from the doc to see if he can get in. If it keeps on like this, I'm taking him to the ER. It's beginning to get scary (at first we thought it was a side effect from some medication he was taking for infection but it should've started wearing off after a week and his symptoms are only getting worse so we're trying to monitor things. He's the type of guy who will avoid the doctor unless he's dying so the fact that he reached out to get seen and is contemplating ER, it's bad... I know I'm being needy between Smoke and now BF, but I'm wondering if these things are connected and it is NOT a fun situation to watch from the sidelines. I'm hoping he can get seen/go to ER before I travel next week - my newest concern)
8/11 - Technically I did weigh, but in my zombie-brain last night, I left my phone on the couch overnight, didn't charge it, and it was too far away for my scale to sync and upload my weigh in. And I don't remember what it came up as. Oops! I do remember still seeing 153 pop up at some point while it was settling so I'm not dropping anything. I'm not entirely sure what is going on with this bloat. Usually any hormonal bloat will drop off as soon as TOM starts but I didn't even start bloating until it did. Hopefully it won't last too long and I can get back down before I travel. This is uncomfortable and confusing. Homemade, 100% from scratch chicken pot pie for dinner so I'm determined to eat my last serving of chickpea and veg curry for lunch as it's light and low calorie to make up for the extra large portion I'm undoubtedly going to serve myself of potpie tonight. I already completed my kettlebell strength and I'm about to go walk the pups. It's my day off so errands (post office, groceries) and baking!
8/12 - Alright, I've got a bit of a drop and I'm happy. I'm still very sore in my legs so I know I'm holding on to water there. My tummy doesn't look so bloated now so I think the hormonal stuff is what dropped off now TOM is over. Whew. BF got mad about needing to replace another sprinkler head (this is the second time replacing this specific one) because of cows in our front yard. He went ahead and had the extra money to buy the wood and rent a post digger yesterday. Digger due back today so we are drinking coffee and then heading out to beat the worst of the heat to get the holes dug and posts set with concrete today so the concrete can set overnight. My pot pie went really well and tasted delicious last night. I have 2 slices leftover, one of which I'll surely have for lunch today. Maybe the other for tomorrow? Not sure on dinner as we only planned one dinner home this weekend - we assumed we'd go have dinner with Fam one night this weekend as we usually do. Now I'm unsure with the fence thing. We've got enough in the freezer to make something up, though, I'm sure.
8/13 - I did weigh but apparently my phone and scale didn't sync when I thought it had so I have no idea. I had a very whiny puppy who needed outside so I wasn't as thorough as I normally am. Oh well. I was up and I know that. Expected. We finished building the entire fence yesterday. 8am until about 5pm outside in the Texas heat doing manual labor. All that's left is cut the tops of the posts flush and find/build a gate for the front walkway. Nobody uses it so we'll put something up temporarily to keep the cows out. Despite my water intake, I know I'm dehydrated. In addition, we had wings for dinner and for some reason, wings always make me bloat and hold on to water. I logged everything I remember putting in my body to the best of my knowledge on portion sizes and I was still under due to the work. I'm not worried. I do wish I could have an accurate reading before traveling, but that isn't likely to happen so I simply must be extra cautious the rest of this week instead. I have several days of posts to catch up on and hopefully today is quiet enough to do so.

Great detail, loved it - thank you
So are you back to walking 4-6 miles?
How many laps/how long was each swimming session - I have a pool... this sounds rather fun....interested on details!
I'm not into running.
On the holistic doctor... Funny you should mention, because I tried one for my thyroid and, while parts of it were good, I felt horrible and was gaining weight also. I agree, 50% of it was me and mindset but, seriously I feel like my journey wasted some of my money. I finally found a doctor that is amazing, love her to death and she's super knowledgeable about everything thyroid. All that to say this, I understand where you're coming from.

I started my “wunning” program yesterday. Starting slowly with 3 minutes walking, 30 seconds running (ok, jogging), for 30 minutes. The short runs were easy, but did get my heart rate up, and I don’t want to overdo it and discourage myself. I went for another half-hour walk with the pup last night. I’m off in a few min for my morning “wun.” I have to say, though, that my weigh-ins are discouraging lately. Losing weight at 70 is no picnic!
8/11 - 185.2, 1417
Aww, come on. I did a 35 min interval “wun” yesterday and another dog walk in the evening, plus some gardening, and calories were controlled. I do think I’m retaining water—my legs are swollen after my wuns. I’m drinking tons of water and hoping for a whoosh soon.
8-12 - 185.2, 1237
Jeesh. So discouraging. Plus my knee hurts and I’m achy all over, I hate my hair, my skin looks blotchy and flaky, and I have nothing decent to wear that I can get into. (Just doing a grump dump!) I think I’ll skip the long walk this morning to let me knee recover, and go take out my hostilities by deadheading flowers. I hope your weekend is going better than that! 😊
8/13 - 184.6, 1615
Good morning. I’m feeling slightly better, although I’m still achy and my knee feels swollen and tight. I think I need help with some of this so tomorrow I’m going to schedule a doctor visit. I’m due anyway for my annual checkup. I’ve lapsed on taking collagen, so am getting back with that routine—helps my hair and skin, which is very dry and itchy. I have a very strong urge to cozy up the house, but no idea what and how at the moment. Browsing images online. I also have a serious urge to do some decluttering, although we don’t actually have much superfluous stuff after all the moving around we did for a decade. Weird, huh? It’s as if I need to open up space for something new. I did toss out about 15 years of journals last week—I knew I would never reread them, and I don’t want anyone else reading them if/when I die, so out they went. It gave me pause, but I threw them in the recycle bin just as the truck turned onto our street, and poof! they were gone, and I felt good about it. Now to start a new one. So that’s me strange tale for today! I do think these things are all tied to stupid eating. Have a great Sunday!
8/14 - 184.6, 1576
Ok, I’m not getting my calories down as low as I’d like, but at least I’ve been consistently below maintenance. I visited my friend who has been dealing with all sorts of health issues for the past six months and came home depressed. DH caught it even though I hadn’t said anything. I feel like I need to figure out what I really want to do with myself for the next (hopefully) decade or two, and feel like I’ve made some poor choices in the past year and now I don’t know how to undo them. So I’m going out to deadhead and weed, and maybe I’ll think of something there.

08/12 -192.6- (Trend weight 195.2)
08/13 -194.2- (Trend weight 195.1) Well I guess a year has gone by very quickly. I got a call from my childhood best friend that she is on her annual vacay back to Michigan to visit family and friends. I have (since growing up) moved about 3 ½ hours north so we are coordinating when she can come stay a night or two. She understands the renovations that have just begun and that I can’t leave. So….. the self-sabotage has begun. I did not eat well yesterday but I did make sure that I offset my stupidity with some HIIT in my workout. Why can’t I just be good to myself? My trend weight still went down a bit so I’m hoping the upward change is just water retention. We’ll see.
08/14 -194.2- (Trend weight 195.1) I cleaned up my act a bit yesterday but I could have done a little better…..or a lot better.

Hi again! I'm Amanda, 38F in Virginia.
SW Round 232 - 129.8
R232 GW - 128
8/10 - 129.8. I'm back again. I'm in a weird place where I don't necessarily want to focus on the number on the scale but it's the best way for me to think about what/how much I'm consuming. I've still been running a lot and lifting. My muscles are sore and tired today, TOM arrived this morning, and we went out for Mexican for dinner, so I'm holding on to some water for sure. But I still need to make better choices! Today I have a treadmill run and strength training scheduled. And today will be alcohol-free. I had margaritas at dinner and it messed up my sleep, ugh. Anyway, looking forward to the round and hope to actually see it through this time!
8/11 - 129.8 again. I ended up running outside and postponing strength training yesterday. I signed up for this run training app for a two month trial and I felt really overloaded this week. It seems like you either do 5 runs a week or 3 runs a week with no in-between. I decided to switch over to 3 a week and then will add something on my own when I want to. I am so excited for this weekend. My friend is getting married at the same venue where my husband and I got married almost 7 years ago! We're spending the weekend in a cabin with them and some of their other friends. There are a bunch of hiking and biking trails, kayaks and canoes for rent, etc. The couple is driving from 4 hours away but it's only an hour away from us (ironically it was across the country from us when we got married there; we were living in Colorado at the time!). I'll be MIA and not weighing for the weekend. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
8/12 - DNW
8/13 - DNW
8/14 - DNW. Back from the cabin/wedding weekend. I snacked a lot but I was fairly active at least. I did a 6-mile trail run yesterday for my weekly long run. It was slow but I felt like I had plenty of endurance for it. My ankle-adjacent stabilizing muscles are sore since I don't usually trail run. I think that's a lot better for me in the long run than road running, though. Joints tend to tolerate softer surfaces for longer. Today I'm doing strength work and focusing my effort on the kitchen. And water. Lots and lots of water.

@justanotherjen13 - this is an example of what you can learn by doing a restrictive diet. You had a lot of (probably wheat) flour with pizza, bread, and pasta. Eliminate flour for a week - not just cut back - eliminate. It’s not easy but it is informative. The allergist had my husband eliminate 6 foods we ate all the time for 6 months. What a difference it made! If it helps, you will have learned something (maybe have lost weight) and if you go back to that pattern of eating you will return to where you were.
I’m not a medical professional but have experienced this myself and with my husband and younger daughter.

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.
We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

SW Round 232 128.5
8/10 129.0 Had 4 oz brisket and did my best to rinse off that sweet sauce but it was still there. I had a no sugar whisky sour at home.
8/11 128.5 Good day yesterday. Under on all macros except fat - 7 over on that but fat satisfies. Wanted evening snack - had 1T peanut butter - the brand I have is all natural and the oil separates. I scooped out some of the pb and let the oil drip back into the jar.
8/12 128.0 Leftover pot roast and ate a few chunks of white potato and slices of carrot.
8/13 129.0 Totally okay with this. We went out to eat at a nearby Mexican restaurant. I had chips and a chimichanga and I ate the whole thing. Today, Great Greek. I’m going to change my order and get chicken instead of beef! 😱😱😱
8/14 129.0 I think I’m going to try to fast today. I need to get back in that habit. DH has left overs from Mexican and Greek.6 -

8/14 My disappointment with the scale did not linger long yesterday. Somehow I managed to turn on a positive attitude, and stick with the health and wellness process. I actually had a great day yesterday… I’m not gonna go through all the emojis - ✅💦🚶♀️🍽️🤸🏼📓 I hit every measurable goal, 🎯and I feel like a winner, even though the DAMN scale s*cks big time! I must weigh-in tomorrow (UGH) because of another MFP challenge so I will stick to that commitment. I also feel as though I’ve busted through the initial days of renewed commitment and feel a strong energy to stay on the right path. For this, I am sincerely thankful. Now that I have an established routine, each day gets easier and easier!
FYI: I’m one of these peeps that do very well eating the same breakfast every day. Since I am IF, my first meal is at noon, and my last meal is at 6 PM. My every-day first meal is one egg/two egg whites over easy and 1/2 small avocado. Oh, I do enjoy black coffee when I wake up! Between 2-3PM I have my “ACV” w/basil, and now, I simply LOVE this drink!!! (2 TB apple cider vinegar, juice of one lemon, several basil leaves, ice and water….) And since I’m on keto, I have to make sure I eat a good portion of FAT so I add my roasted /frozen butter bite and I am good to go until 5:30 PM). Dinner is 5 to 6 ounces of protein and veggie. Detox tea at bedtime… Routine is VERY good for me!
NSW: I’m deep into this routine now, so there’s no looking back. I haven’t hosted any Pity-parties, so I have to count that as a win! Tomorrow I have to embrace another ride on the 🎢 roller coaster. It’s my hope that, with every new day the scale ⚖️ becomes less and less traumatizing. I have to say, I’m really proud of myself for NOT throwing in the towel. Losing weight is MUCH harder when you’re older… Not sure why - but it is!
🛑🎢!
Let’s do this!🙌🏻💪🏻
——————————————
8/13 The emotional roller coaster prevails and is REAL. I’m so disappointed. I hate the scale. But I’ll keep on. Not quitting. I have stuck to the plan. Record every freaking morsel. Hit macros, hit calories…. Plan plan plan. Check off all boxes. Walk, exercise, close rings, journal, 💦💦💦. My only thought is that I’m not sleeping. I can’t sleep… Waking up at 3ish everyday. One good night in 2 weeks. I’ll think about it logically today. Or maybe I wont…. Maybe thinking too much. I wont give up.
Good luck to everyone. Pulling for you!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.
4 -
It's sitting through the discomfort, that is where you find success.
It's uncomfortable saying "I won't eat xyz." "I won't have any more food today"
However remember,
every time you sit thru that discomfort
THAT
is where
you will
get your success.

Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my fourth round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. So far I've been doing great despite a lot of stress in my life. I had one "cheat" day on my son's 13th birthday because I made homemade pizza and enjoyed three slices of it. I have felt no need to "cheat" since then which makes me very happy. I keep telling myself I'll eat a bag of chips when I get to X weight, but that weight comes, and I feel no need to eat the chips and want to continue eating healthy to lose more weight. Amazing for a carb junkie.

8/10 - 265.8 - 3.04 miles - I had planned to work in the yard laying more mulch and shoveling rocks, but as I got close to home after my walk, I started feeling really queasy. I'm not sure if it was the heat (it was only in the mid-70s) or something else, but I decided to just go inside and rest instead. This weekend is supposed to be super hot so I'm not sure how much I can get done. The plan is to get to bed early today so I get up early tomorrow and get out for my walk in the early morning so I'm working in the yard before the heat sets in. We'll see how that goes.
8/11 - 264.8 - 2.37 miles - Worked for an hour in the yard shoveling rocks again and finished laying mulch on that side of the yard (YAY!). Then went on an hour walk when it started getting really hot. Didn't feel very well after that but it passed eventually. Then I spent 2.5 hours making homemade pizzas for the family so today was a cheat day. Last one was July 14 when I made pizza for my son's birthday. It tasted so good. Wish I could have more but I came in under my goal (barely and that's just an estimate). I'll make it up in the next couple of days so it's not a big deal.
8/12 - 264.2 - 3.29 miles - Went over on my calories today because I just couldn't resist having pizza for breakfast this morning (what is even the point if you don't eat it cold the next morning?). But I'll make it up in the next couple days--it's not the end of the world. I didn't do any yard work either because of the heat. I did go on an extra long walk by exploring some culdesacs along the route that I don't usually go down. We are now under a severe heat advisory or warning (can't remember which). It's supposed to be nearly 100F tomorrow so I doubt I do much and will get out for my walk really early. Same with Monday and Tuesday. Then my grandson is back so not sure what I'll do. Feeling good despite the stumbling with the pizza (I just cannot resist pizza; it's my favorite food).
8/13 - 268.2 - 3.06 miles - Four pounds! I'm not sure what to think about that. I made sure it was clean under the scale and reweighed myself. It didn't change. I'm not sure how eating 2 slices of pizza, half a sandwich, half a salad and a cup of pasta equals 4 pounds. According to my numbers I was only about 140 calories over my goal (not including exercise). Very strange, but not the end of the world. It just sets me back a few days I guess. I resisted eating any more of the pizza today and even passed on mac & cheese with dinner (had the burger and some fries, though). That gave me the space to have a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich (man, I love those things). I also pretty much finished the mulching of the yard. I have one bag left and have laid 18 of them. I still need to pull up some grass growing where it doesn't belong but it's looking much better. Thankfully, I got it done before the heatwave hit (supposed to be in the 100s all week I think). And with that heat, I need to be in bed early to be up early to do my hour of walking before the heat sets in for the day. So, I'm off to bed now.
8/14 - 266.4 - 3.01 miles - Got up a little before 7am and was out the door before 7:30 to get my walk in. By the time I got home around 8:45am, it was 74F and the sun was blazing. So glad I skipped coffee and just walked this morning because when we ran to the store at 3pm, it was 108F. I felt like I couldn't even breathe, it was so hot. Now there's apparently a fire across the river outside of Portland and blowing into town so the sky is kind of orange. Hopefully, it's not too bad in the morning. I hope to be out by 7:30 again, but not sure I want to try and push for three miles again with the even that early.

————————————-
8/14 My disappointment with the scale did not linger long yesterday. Somehow I managed to turn on a positive attitude, and stick with the health and wellness process. I actually had a great day yesterday… I’m not gonna go through all the emojis - ✅💦🚶♀️🍽️🤸🏼📓 I hit every measurable goal, 🎯and I feel like a winner, even though the DAMN scale s*cks big time! I must weigh-in tomorrow (UGH) because of another MFP challenge so I will stick to that commitment. I also feel as though I’ve busted through the initial days of renewed commitment and feel a strong energy to stay on the right path. For this, I am sincerely thankful. Now that I have an established routine, each day gets easier and easier!
FYI: I’m one of these peeps that do very well eating the same breakfast every day. Since I am IF, my first meal is at noon, and my last meal is at 6 PM. My every-day first meal is one egg/two egg whites over easy and 1/2 small avocado. Oh, I do enjoy black coffee when I wake up! Between 2-3PM I have my “ACV” w/basil, and now, I simply LOVE this drink!!! (2 TB apple cider vinegar, juice of one lemon, several basil leaves, ice and water….) And since I’m on keto, I have to make sure I eat a good portion of FAT so I add my roasted /frozen butter bite and I am good to go until 5:30 PM). Dinner is 5 to 6 ounces of protein and veggie. Detox tea at bedtime… Routine is VERY good for me!
NSW: I’m deep into this routine now, so there’s no looking back. I haven’t hosted any Pity-parties, so I have to count that as a win! Tomorrow I have to embrace another ride on the 🎢 roller coaster. It’s my hope that, with every new day the scale ⚖️ becomes less and less traumatizing. I have to say, I’m really proud of myself for NOT throwing in the towel. Losing weight is MUCH harder when you’re older… Not sure why - but it is!
🛑🎢!
Let’s do this!🙌🏻💪🏻
——————————————
8/13 The emotional roller coaster prevails and is REAL. I’m so disappointed. I hate the scale. But I’ll keep on. Not quitting. I have stuck to the plan. Record every freaking morsel. Hit macros, hit calories…. Plan plan plan. Check off all boxes. Walk, exercise, close rings, journal, 💦💦💦. My only thought is that I’m not sleeping. I can’t sleep… Waking up at 3ish everyday. One good night in 2 weeks. I’ll think about it logically today. Or maybe I wont…. Maybe thinking too much. I wont give up.
Good luck to everyone. Pulling for you!

8/10 219 This is exactly where I started last round. The difference is that I know I am up because I had a hard yoga class yesterday & my muscles are sore (not because I ate cookies). I am very close to being my normal self again. It’s a good thing because I have to work full time in September so now is the time to finish dealing with all of the mental stuff!
8/11 217.7. I feel like I will be making progress again. I said no to my family’s request for takeout supper. I did some gardening & cleaning, took a walk & did yoga.I slept better last night & FIL is coming for a visit this weekend so I need to get our house cleaner than it is so I may skip yoga & just concentrate on cleaning & gardening today after my walk.
8/12 218.6
8/13 220.2
8/14 219.6 The scale is all over the place just like my calorie & carb intake! I am going to experiment for the next month & fast Monday-Friday & eat on the weekends. We have something almost every weekend but I really want to make some progress before my niece’s wedding on September 16th. I am pretty sure I am in the right mood to do this. 🤞🏻
8/15 219.4 Well, that’s disappointing! I did eat about 300 calories because I was not keto last week so a low calorie keto day helps me fast. Hopefully the scale will make some good progress today. I will still allow miso soup today & maybe celery but that’s it. I think I have the cold that is going around our house so today will be a lazy day at home after I work for a bit this morning.
