Good Morning, very soon to be Happy Fall... Here's to falling scale numbers in addition to falling leaves. Started and ended the same last month, a little out of control in the middle, traveling is so hard on me. I need to form better habits, I am going to focus on strength training, since my accident in May I have procrastinated getting back to shape. I started back to work in May and have not yet figured out when to exercise in my day. So this round, I going figure out when to put aside 30 minutes a day for strength training.

SW Round 236
9/19: 119- this is a nice start...tracked my food yesterday, that habit is so important and as i approach maintenance i need to keep that habit and not immediately toss it and be surprised when weight creeps up again. goal today- schedule my weight trying exercise!
9/20: 118.2- Wow...I have joked with my kids for years that I can not read their minds and they can not read mine- I am feeling like that with the scale. I made a wonderful tilapia piccata last night and needed to use white wine- then had several glasses midweek, eeks! bad me! After writing this I am going to go backfill my food diary, bad me all around...BUT I did go and do the 50 minute Les Mills Body Pump- weight lifting class last night- Gosh I love this forum! Funny I wrote I would do it and it weighed on me (pun not intended) all day until I did it- the wine consumption might have been due to me procrastinating? No, I think wine consumption was all me.
9/21: 118.6 Mmmm- Do you think even though I finally started menopause I could have a monthly TOM like period? I have had a headache for a week and went on a chocolate binge- Pathetic Chocolate Binge- Pathetic! I found Peppermint Chocolate Bark! I hope is only 1 year old but judging by its location could be 2- And I ate it! - the day before yesterday and yesterday...Eeks...I did wake up this morning finally headache free and feel well rested which I have not felt well rested in months so that is awesome. So whatever this time of month is called when you reach menopause is finally over. No pickleball last night- I had my investment club over, so had to ride spin cycle last night. Hope weather is nice tonight so I can play while we still have sunlight in the evening.

9/21 - 153.2 - What a sight to see! I wasn't expecting this at all. I drank over 100oz of water (again, go me!) and stayed mindful. I didn't finish my lunch or dinner portions (lunch was a restaurant so portions are bigger) as I felt satisfied (and I made myself content with not feeling full when I stood up from the table - I knew I'd feel it in time and I did. Especially at lunch. I was worried I'd be starving by dinner but I was not!). Got a good evening walk in after dinner once it cooled off a bit. I ended up running 2 miles without stopping yesterday so I'm a tad sore today. I decided to not overdo it and am skipping my kettlebell strength workout. I'm only walking the dogs here in a bit and stretching. Meals planned and logged except dinner but I have ideas/thoughts/plans to help me not go overboard at Thirsty Thursday or dinner out.

Previous Day's Comments9/19 - I decided not to weigh since I woke up a few times last night very thirsty and chugged water leading to a possibly false high. Especially since we ended up eating out. We didn't go to the CPR class as the contractors didn't leave until after 630, the class started at 6 and it was 45 minutes away. Unfortunately, by the time we realized we wouldn't be going to the class, it was too late to thaw anything for dinner and we ended up eating out (didn't change much as we'd have to eat out if we went to the class since there was no time between work and having to leave to cook AND eat). Kettlebell workout today and walk planned for after dinner as contractors showed up right after 7am - our usual walk time. I have plenty of leftover cowboy stew which I made for lunch instead - I plan on roasting my leftover carrots and adding them into the stew to provide some veg since I don't count corn or potatoes for my daily veg count. Burritos for Taco Tuesday dinner tonight so need to stay mindful of my portions and overall intake, especially with only 1 walk and 15 minute strength workout.
9/20 - It's a drop, though not as much as I was hoping for. This is making me believe, with 2 great days of over 100oz of water, that this isn't as much water weight as I hoped and is more actual gain than I'd like or had planned for. I was hoping, as a mini-goal, to get down into the 140s by my birthday (9Oct) and it's looking to be a real fight to reach that. Tonight's dinner is a bit of a calorie bomb but I'm focusing on portion control and being mindful of when and why I'm eating. I had a slip up yesterday - I ate BF's remaining lunch pizza (work exploded so he didn't get a chance to clean up and either save or toss it) AFTER I ate my own lunch. I wasn't hungry but my body said "pizza! no waste!" and down this human garbage disposal it went. Ugh. Run today with Smoke while BF walks Harley. We ended up walking after dinner yesterday to make up for not being able to in the morning (contractors showed up right at our walk time) and once again, BF joined me. It's really nice even though we don't really talk. I'm aiming for another walk after dinner tonight, as well.

Because of poor circulation, I've been having problems with water retention. I guess I'm holding onto about 10 lb of water. Just doesn't want to release, once it does my weight will show an good amount of weight loss. I've been sick the last few days, unable to eat much. I thought because of not being able to eat, I'd really show weight loss, guess not. I'm happy with what I've lost, I just want all the excess water to be gone.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/19 - (Mass) 126.6 Yesterday was fully tracked and numbers were good. Today is first post with my abbreviated version using an edited “note” Rounds 236 and 237 will be done this way in an attempt to actually post throughout my travels. Still 6 days until I leave, but need to put those skills together.
9/20 - (Mass) 126.0 posting from my iPad for practice/ Still ate some things extra yesterday, but likely in maintenance range. Though I have been lower, I would be pleased if I actually maintain this weight.
9/21 - (Mass) 125.4 all tracked yesterday and were at “weight loss” numbers. It would be good if I can do this for these next few days before I travel.

Yeah, I figured I’d bounce back up. But I’m determined to get out of the 6s for good this round. As autumn settles in I want to retry some things that have calmed me, grounded me, and “filled me up,” as my friend Cait puts it—a serious writing schedule, long daily walks, regular meditation, maybe some painting, and, of course!, knitting. I’ve felt adrift for quite awhile—since before Covid (probably since we moved from NC to OR in 2016 and then to our current place in IN 9 months later) but the isolation really pushed me out to sea and I’ve never gotten my mojo back. I think that’s part of why I eat emotionally—to fill the empty places. Part of me wants to go sleep for about a week, but another part wants to feel I’m accomplishing something. The “old” things I named might not be the right things for me now, but I need to find out, then let go to open the space physically and emotionally. I feel I need to reassess some of my people, too. Does any of this make sense? And let me say many thanks to this beautiful, supportive, non-judgmental group! Thanks for letting me sound off and for posting your own “we are not alone” posts. ❤️
9/20 - 186
I made a little start on the “new me” yesterday by meditating for 20 minutes and unfollowing a few people on FB so their annoying posts won’t show up in my feed. I also decided to bury the ashes of my past dogs in my garden. This probably sounds weird to some people, but I have 11 boxes of cremains, some of them 20+ years old, in my closet. Eleven beloved dogs and competition partners. But I realize that when I die, and especially if DH is also gone, whoever cleans things out will throw them in the trash. Besides, it may not be spiritually healthy to have dead things in the house (Feng Shui advises against dried flowers). They all loved playing in my various gardens over the years, so that’s where they can play and rest, still close by. I’m sure I’ll be a blubbering mess by the time I’m finished, but the turning of the year seems like the right time for such ceremony. Ok, off to walk, then on with the day.
9/21 - 186
I didn’t accomplish much yesterday and decided that’s okay. I’m going to lunch with a friend, but plan to behave myself, and DH and I already agreed on “fend for yourself” for dinner, so I’ll make my lunch work for both meals. My friend and I have a favorite diner, so I’ll get one of their healthy breakfasts or a Greek salad. Thanks to those who commented supportively on my last two posts. Much appreciated.

SW Round 236: 127.4
GW Round 236: 125.0
Non-scale goals (tracked for the previous day):
💧minimum 64oz of water 9/10 days
✏️ track intake 4/10 days (setting this one low since I have been so bad about this lately)
💪🏻 work out 8/10 days
⏰ intermittent fast 16 hours 7/10 days
9/19 - 💧💪🏻 128.0. Alright alright, time to rein it in. Gave myself enough leeway with the half marathon (thanks all for the congratulatory words!!!). Hopefully some of this is water. Recovery is over so time to get back on track. Today will be an endurance Peloton ride and probably a dog walk since my husband couldn’t do it before he went to work.
9/20 - ✏️💧💪🏻 126.8. Phew, got rid of some of the water my carbs were holding on to, and I managed to actually track yesterday, though admittedly I tracked dinner this morning. Better than never thinking about it at least. I was supposed to be doing a cycling-only challenge now but I accidentally selected the 2 rides/2 runs option on the website, so now I'm due for an interval run today. It's basically the last thing I want to do, haha. Ah well. Hoping to stack it with some upper body strength. I can't seem to build much arm strength and always have to life below the weight the Peloton classes call for, so I really need to make sure I'm doing some arms/chest/back training each week.
9/21 - ✏️💧💪🏻⏰ 126.6. Overdid it a bit yesterday but I'm glad I tracked. Going to stay the course today and make sure I get that water in. I've been cutting it close and not paying too much attention. My husband seems to have left the dog walking to me this week so I guess I'll be doing that today, as well as a 30-minute Peloton ride. At least the weather is nice and the doggies will get me outside. I would really like to lose a couple pounds in the next month before my friend's wedding in Colorado! I'll be seeing a lot of people I haven't seen in a long time, so it seems like a good motivator to look and feel my best & most confident. I also want to be in good cardiovascular shape for hiking and/or running at a higher altitude, so I need to keep moving!

@quiltingjaine But it's a dry heat, right?!
Generally. We had a brief downpour yesterday afternoon. It was very pleasant when we left bingo last night. When I checked a little while ago the temp was 66 and humidity was 50%. High today of 90.justanotherjen13 wrote: »She doesn't pay any rent or anything. The deal was as long as the kids were in school or working to save up, they could live here rent-free. She also has a 4yo son. It's extremely expensive to live around here so she'll probably never get to move out unless she's living with several other people to split the costs.
One of our grandsons is sharing a house with 4 other guys. His sisters are both still at home along with our great grandson (15 months.) I don’t know what financial arrangements they have but I know the baby just started “school” at the day care at the private school from which all of these kids graduated.
I will continue to pray for you.🙏🙏🙏

Day/Weight/Comment
09/18 …..190.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/19 -190.0- (Trend weight 191.9)
09/20 -189.2- (Trend weight 191.7) I don’t know how this wonderful scale reading happened for me today. I can only guess that the past few days of careful eating and extra commitment to exercise caught up with me. However, yesterday was travel day and I ate at a Chinese food buffet which was a real rare treat. Of course, I overate and also had some sugary desserts afterward. All of those really good habits I thought I had were out the window at a buffet. So I must learn to work on that or stay away from them altogether. So the next scale reading “catching up with me” might not be so good in a day or two based on yesterday, but I will stick to plan, pre-log my meals, drink extra water and make sure I push myself to exercise each night. If that bloat and weight shows up at my doorstep, I’ll be ready for it! I’m happy and grateful today though.
09/21 -187.6- (Trend weight 191.2) I got the “7” in there today at 187. I’m so happy that it is all paying off. My handymen left early enough that it allowed me to get to the school in time for walking the hallways again yesterday. They require that I come at 4:30 otherwise I am locked out. I got in over 100 minutes of walking. I got a bit hungry late last night. Bingeing was a possibility but I managed to stick to my guns. I grabbed a small hand full of nuts as an unplanned snack. I knew that it would add a bit over 100 calories to my day but I also knew it was healthy and that it would stave off any uncontrollable hunger. I worked. I’m so glad I didn’t give in to those snacky night-time, TV time monsters. When I’ve stayed in the 187’s (or less) a day or two longer I will cross off my 190’s with confidence.

Thank you @quiltingjaine for another round. (R2)
You’re welcome as are all of the others who thank me for posting the rounds. 💗💗

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.

9/19 129.0 Today I will begin a fast after we eat early lunch. DH has cards at noon, takes a friend to the doctor at 4 and has a meeting at 5 (he’ll be late due to earlier commitment) that should be over by 7. Today it is supposed to be 97F (36C) so it is finally cooling off here. The next 2 weeks show all temps below 90. Maybe I should make getting to the gym my goal this round!
9/20 129.0 Community bingo tonight. And regarding the upcoming temps - 8 of the next 14 days now show 90 or higher. Not complaining-those are much better than 100+ but the direct sun is brutal.
9/21 129.5 I should have skipped the BINGO “meal” - I ate a fried chicken breast and ice cream sandwich and passed on the sweetened cole slaw.

@SheilaBoneham As I read your post, it strikes me that you’re headed toward “out with the old in with the new” and slowly becoming a “new you”. As you continue to make these changes, you may feel sometimes invigorated, as well as perhaps sometimes empty. Like, now what? You’re definitely on the right path of self-discovery. When I “retired” four years ago, I labeled this next journey “the next 30”. I figured my life was in thirds at that point… This next 30 is a unique time of discovery in /of my life, because my first 60 years were so busy & pressed, I never had time to ponder… I hope it’s the same for you!
I love the idea of life in 30 year spans. I think I will adopt that idea. I tended to think I terms of 5 year spans. A 30 year span will take me to107 😝8 -

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

3 full weeks and a couple of days into logging everything, everyday. Of being consistent. I haven’t met all of my goals, but that’s okay. I haven’t been consistent with anything for more than two weeks for the past 7+ years. Because I hated it. I hated everything I tried. I hated not seeing the scale move fast enough. I hated being miserable, without results to show for it. This time around is definitely different. I feel good, I have energy, and I don’t feel like I’m depriving myself of anything. And I’m not just waiting for something to happen that I can use as an excuse to go get junk/comfort food. I’ve been a bit too far under my calories some days, I’ll put effort into making sure I’m not below 1400, but I’ll let everything else sort itself out and not stress over macros, they seem to generally be okay and I’m meeting my protein target in grams and carbs are rarely over 30% of my daily total.
I’ve been so focused on getting what I’m eating right that discipline is lacking in the fitness area. This round my goal is 30 minutes of exercise EVERY DAY. Whether it’s a full workout, a cruisy walk, or stretching, it doesn’t matter. 30 minutes of intentional movement.
Weds.20.09:
Yesterday was good. 20 minutes of walking in as we got to my daughter’s appointment early and had nothing better to do! Not 30 minutes, but at least it’s something.
Thurs.21.09:
Busy day yesterday, shopping in the morning, and gardening all afternoon. Did stop and get Maccie’s while we were out. May or may not have affected the scale today. I did get a longer walk in last night so 30 minutes in! My watch counted the gardening as active minutes as well, which I guess it is.
Fri.22.09:
Yesterday was good. Eating on plan, albeit a bit under target calories, and got a workout in. I don’t know what the scale’s doing so I’m just record-keeping for now. Maybe after a few months I can have a look at any patterns that arise.
A few little NSV’s, my resting heart rate is averaging back in the high 40’s, where a month ago it was mid to high 50’s. And many of my clothes are fitting better or are too big. It was 33c (91.4f) here yesterday so I broke out my comfy shorts and while they were previously tight-ish around my thighs and bum, they’re noticeably more baggy. I’ve decided to put $20 for every kg I lose into a sub-account, so that I have it to splurge on new clothes when I need them. For now, most of my clothes are just fitting as they’re all from my “usual” weight of around 86kg/190lbs (once I started gaining I just wore clothes that would still fit like fitness leggings, elastic-waisted linen shorts/pants, and dresses - I didn’t really buy any bigger clothes apart from one pair of jeans). By the time I’m needing new stuff I should have a nice little stash to spend! This is helpful as well because as a mom I tend to put everyone else first and feel guilty getting things for myself. I do measurements weekly, and this coming Monday will be a full month, so it’ll be interesting to see the progress from my starting measurements.
