9/19 - 186.4
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.
9/22 - 187
Ooops! My friend switched things up and we went to Cracker Barrel. I had eggs and bacon but sadly chose biscuits and gravy for my side—I don’t even like CB’s biscuits and gravy very much! Jeesh. That set me on a slide and I ate much more than I’d planned last night. Gaaa. Why do I do this? Anyway, to compensate, I walked an hour before breakfast and now I’m starting on that closet I mentioned on Wednesday.

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!
9/22 - 💪🏻⏰ 126.4. Missed a couple of my non-scale goals yesterday so I want to make sure I hit those today! So thankful it's Friday. This week has felt LONG and I'm not sure why. I have some fitness-related analysis paralysis today. I have a 45-minute endurance run on the schedule. I'd rather sneak out for a mountain bike ride at lunch time. But also I feel like I could use a rest day. Decisions, decisions.

My husband's doctor said he is no longer diabetic. I am full of thankfulness and praise to The Most High. HE did it. I cried for an hour after hearing the news.

09/19 -190.0- (Trend weight 191.9)
09/20 -189.2- (Trend weight 191.7)
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.
09/22 -188.0- (Trend weight 190.9) I don’t always understand these weight fluctuations. I had to add fake calories when closing out last night just to reach the 1000 that MFP requires to close. Sometimes when you are watching carbs too it is difficult to get in enough calories. However, I will admit that my choices weren’t BAD per se, but they could have been a tad better. I will push water today since I didn’t get in enough yesterday and I will be thankful that my trend weight is still going down and rewarding me for my dedication to this process right now. I usually do much better in the fall and winter (besides December lol) so I am going to grab the ball and run with it.

Daily Details:Tues.19.09:
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.
Sat.23.09:
It’s the weekend again already, so another busy day. Did my meal planning for the week and grocery shop already this morning, and need to get out and weed the garden this afternoon. No workout yesterday, my hips are really sore for some reason. I worry about my hips because they’re constantly popping and cracking and I haven’t even hit 40 yet! Hopefully getting healthier will take some of the strain off so I don’t need to be worrying about hip replacements before 50 (or ever) 😅

About Me:This is my eighth 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. I'm a mom of five and grandma of one 4yo that I babysit during the week when my daughter is working.

9/19 - 243.4 - 2.98 miles - Today has been a roller coaster. Started okay and then I realized around 10:30 that the water had been turned off. I then started walking to the store to get some cheese and coffee creamer before the sale ended (today). At noon, my daughter texted me frantic because she couldn't find one of our kittens. Got home and spent the next 4 hours looking for the kitten all over the neighborhood. Finally found her in the neighbor's open garage. But we still don't have water because my husband is refusing to pay the bill and says our daughter (23yo) needs to pay it but she doesn't have enough money for it ($260). So we just don't have running water anymore. She went to buy jugs of water to drink and use for washing hands but I have no idea how we're going to flush the toilets. I'm so stressed out. I can't wash the dishes or cook or take a shower. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom since I can't flush. He doesn't care and will not pay the bill. I had to use all the water in my bottle to fill the cat's dish. Now I'm thirsty but we currently only have 1 gallon of water between the six of us (at least until my daughter gets home).
9/20 - 243.4 - 3.17 miles - Well the water is back on so that's good. This will probably replay again in November when the next bill is due. Sigh. I was up late discussing things with my oldest daughter so I didn't get to sleep until around 11pm (which is late for me). I was not happy when I woke to my alarm this morning at 7. And I've been dragging every since. I went on my walk like normal but I noticed I was walking much slower than usual and was just aching when I got home so that sucked. On top of that, I've been stuck at 243 for five days now. Like I can't eat less than I am now so... I don't know. Sigh. I'm not in a good place mentally so I was munching on my snacks today since what difference does it make if I'm not going to lose more? Which is obviously ridiculous thinking. Maybe I just need to take the week off and relax. I probably won't though.
9/21 - 244.2 - 3.29 miles - Well, after I posted my last update, I just couldn't resist anymore and just ate a whole bunch of Veggie Straws and decided at 8pm that it was a cheat day. At the worst it was going to make my weight go up a bit and then at least it will have changed because seeing the same number day after day was maddening, lol. And that's what happened. I went up .8lbs. Today I decided to be good and stick to my goals and didn't snack. But I was so hungry all day. The hunger pains had mostly gone away once I got used to the way I was eating now, but all of a sudden, they've been awful. I was thinking maybe it's just been the stress of the last few days. Well, whatever. I'll just work through it as best I can. What works the best is to keep myself occupied with other things (usually writing... unless I start writing about food and then I'm just starving).
9/22 - 245.8 - 3.25 miles - Oops. After I posted yesterday, I let the stress and cravings get the better of me again and ate a whole lot of veggie straws and look at my weight now. Ugh. Oh well. I did enjoy the snack at the time although I felt a bit guilty afterwards. I'm already over it and looking ahead. I was very good today. Didn't eat any veggie straws but I did have some smores with my kids and grandson. I made mine much smaller with one little square of chocolate and only 2 small graham cracker pieces instead of the much bigger ones the kids had. Well worth it.

Starting this round still on holiday, so will now be weighing until get home; fly back 22nd, so ready to fill commit again from 23rd, in the meantime trying to make sensible choices in order to maintain, but still enjoy the holiday.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.

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.
9/22: 294.8 (-3.4 lb) Finally some of the excess water is coming off.
The last few days I haven't been feeling good and not eating much. It has been nearly a week since I started feeling poorly, hpefully I'll start feeling better soon.
9/23: 291.4 (-3.4 lb) Most of the lbs I'm losing is water weight. My legs are going down from how swollen they were. Few more days and then hopefully the excess water weight will be gone. Just happy it's finally started to release from my body, after months of being swollen. I keep a gallon jug of water by me, to remind me to continue to drink water. Don't always drink the whole gallon, but most times I do. Most be working. 😸

@justanotherjen13 For me, I find that salt or sugar can be binge and craving triggers. On time I wanted a re-set to stop the craving. I went low carb, and liberal on my fats, while tracking and keeping calories in line. That did seem to help me, but maybe it was all psycosomatic.
@musicsax I hope everything is ok!!

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.
9/22 - (Mass) 125.6 still easier to post from laptop, but this seems to be working, and glad I am getting used to it. Have to entertain tonight. Calories will be a little dicey, and I am already hungry at 7 am.
9/23 - (Mass) 126.0 Yes, the entertaining had me eating a little more than planned as the guests brought unexpected items and I felt that I should respect their efforts. Today will actually be my more challenging day as there are lots of leftover sweets. Already had two cookie bars as “breakfast”. I may need to put them down the disposal.

9/23 - DNW - I did weigh but it didn't record in the app apparently. Oops. It was up - 154.x range. I do feel very very bloated this morning, though. Garlic salt from dinner, I'm sure. I drank 100oz at least yesterday so I'm not terribly worried. Calories were on the high end, but still in deficit. Today I'm not sure food plans but we're on our own. Working on the house so hopefully plenty of movement. Going to to walk the dogs first, though, so we can all get our steps in (: I'm planning on drinking lots of water and being very mindful about my eating today. Hope you have a fantastic and successful weekend!

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.
9/2 - 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.
9/22 - I was a tad late waking up as I was super groggy (I slept through my [silent] alarm for a whole extra minute!) and I knew BF was getting up to walk at 6 (giving me 45 minutes extra). I decided, since I felt incredibly bloated and fingers look puffy, to forego weighing as I know it's not accurate. I've pre-logged everything I know so far, including breakfast, lunch, and the protein for dinner. I'm unsure, as of right now, what starch and veg side we are having, but neither should put me over goals so long as I stick to my pre-logged plan. I ran with Smoke this morning while BF took Harley. We ventured on to the main road through the ranch. Smoke was found by a highway covered in porcupine needles so he's skittish around vehicles. We live on a deadend road with retired folks so we don't get traffic during our normal walks for training so this was good exposure for him to learn. He did better than I thought with the one vehicle that passed us though he is much better about riding in vehicles than being outside of them. Don't blame him. I want him to be cautious, but not try to dart away and harm himself. Only 1.5 miles ran as I figured we'd take it slow and easy and traffic would be picking up soon. Slow and steady, not only for my 5k training but for his vehicle exposure. Now on to catch up on 2.5 days of posts!

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.

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.

Ooops! My friend switched things up and we went to Cracker Barrel. I had eggs and bacon but sadly chose biscuits and gravy for my side—I don’t even like CB’s biscuits and gravy very much! Jeesh. That set me on a slide and I ate much more than I’d planned last night. Gaaa. Why do I do this? Anyway, to compensate, I walked an hour before breakfast and now I’m starting on that closet I mentioned on Wednesday.

My calories were on target yesterday, so this is backlash from Thursday. I’ll get rid of it! Happy 🍁 Autumn, everyone in the northern hemisphere!

9/23-165–I used to buy lime/ tortilla crusted talapia at Costco so I tried making that with halibut. Just ground up chips with some garlic while the fish soaked in lime juice then baked it. Just a little dry so I need to change it a little. Tonight we are going to a town a few hours away to surprise our son at the restaurant where he works because tomorrow is his birthday and we will get to hang out with him. He is going to school there and always wants us to come and eat where he works. It will be nice to get away for the night.8 -

R236
My 6th Round
Good luck everyone! You inspire me!
F, 5’6”, almost 65 😉, Married, Retired. MawMaw Proud!
Starting R236 at 137lbs - (⬇️ 8lbs from 145 mid-July.) Not bad.
Goals: Relax, TRUST the process, Celebrate making healthy choices. Taste buds are overrated. NEVER let the ⚖️ impact my mood or determination.
UGW: Make choices to weigh 128 again & MAINTAIN.
🛑🎢
Adjusted Daily Goals:
70-80💦, Cal (1225-1325) Macros% 3-72-25, (Ketovore) 12k steps, Burn 600+ activity calories, 90+ Activity minutes.
Next 10 days: 12-3-30 3x and 🏋️♀️3x (I’ve been neglecting this, and it needs to be a top priority!)
R236⚖️: Let’s get the ⚖️ down 1.5- 2lbs to 135x! Relaxed but focused. Breathe and pause.
9/19 ⚖️ 137.0lbs 🤔(again!) Yesterday, 200+ exercise minutes, 1225 move calories, 18k+ steps. Crazy day. Woke up stiff but worked it out. Short walk this morning, then tennis again tonight. Probably will not reach anywhere near that activity today because I obviously overdid it yesterday. Trying to nap this afternoon - did not sleep well last night – too wound up. What do I need to keep doing or change while on this part of my journey?! I think I’m making progress, because the scale is not bothering me anymore… It is what it is I just have to keep focused and taking care of myself.
9/20 DNW Good day yesterday. ✅ 103 active min, 780 move calories, ✅macros, 1258 calories. 🚫 steps-just 9k. Finally slept well last night. Today: not sure yet what or how…. but will hit targets. No tennis so I’ll go on a hike/walk and maybe go to the gym for 12–3-30. 🏋️♀️today! Hoping to have a motivated/ grateful day. Oh, Even though I thought I had enough electrolytes yesterday, I had BAD leg cramps early this morning before I got up… It’s been a LONG time since I’ve had cramps, so I have to make sure I get enough, magnesium, potassium, and sodium everyday.
9/21 DNW Up too early. I had a crummy, crummy day out of nowhere yesterday. Not mindful or grateful. Just plain tired. NO 🚫 or few ✅. No gym. Overly tired still from Monday and Tuesday. A reminder to know my activity/exercise limits and to stay hydrated. Over-doing it Monday and Tuesday ruined my Wednesday but hopefully not today too. I hope I’m not petering out!!!! After lunch, I laid on the couch and vegged out. Zero energy. 1343 BAD calories and only 5k steps. My brain was also dead. I wasn’t prepared for the tiredness. At least I tracked my day. I want to have a better day today. Taking care of myself also means avoiding physical exhaustion. Feeling out-of-sorts but not terribly so. This morning: will reflect, journal and make a few positive plans. Just do it.
🛑🎢!!!
9/22 ⚖️ 135.8 👀
Is THIS my whoosh?! 😀I’ll take it! However… I’m experienced enough to know that it’ll disappear for the next ⚖️, so at least I’m slowly going in the right direction. Whoosh or no whoosh. Not feeling any kind of a “high” so that’s a form of winning and conquering the 🎢. Once again… I don’t want the scale to impact my emotions, commitment, or determination. Just keep with the plan and the process.✌️!
Yesterday: 1213 cal, 120 active min, 682 move cal burned, macros ✅. Was still tired yesterday. Wow. But I did manage to get my exercise minutes and 8k steps. Will do more today as I have more time AND I’m more rested. Enjoying my coffee and hoping to push to be more active this weekend. Just moving! DH just left - will be out of town till late Sunday night so I can enjoy a couple of days of “me” time. Will head to the grocery store after tennis this morning to plan my eats for the weekend.
9/23 DNW Almost forgot to post this morning so I guess that’s a good thing! Yesterday was just about a perfect day… attitude and discipline.
1270 cal, ✅ macros, 132 movement minutes 817 Movement calories. 9k steps. My steps have been off lately because I just haven’t felt like going for a long walk… Hoping I meet 12 K today! I’ve decided to up my protein again… been reading a lot about it. While DH is away this weekend I’m going full carnivore. Yesterday I had a big juicy ribeye. Half for lunch and half for dinner. 100% satisfied… And that’s it for the day! This morning, two eggs over easy with grated cheddar cheese on top and two pieces of “healthy”bacon… I’m ready for the day! If I feel good, I may keep it going… Spending the day with my grandson at his soccer matches… We’ll walk /circle the fields to get in my steps!
NSV- While the scale is not cooperating, as much as I had hoped, I can visually tell my body is changing… Not that much, but enough for me to notice. I’ve lost only eight or 9 pounds, but it looks like I’ve lost a little more… And I’m feeling really good!

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!

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. My macros were almost perfect after my portion of leftover lasagna. “Just like the real thing” lasagna -Peace Love and Low Carbhttps://peaceloveandlowcarb.com › ..."Just Like the Real Thing" Keto Lasagna
9/22 128.5 Fasted most of the day and was very low calorie-less than 400 for the day. I wasn’t hungry so I didn’t eat.
9/23 128.5 Out to b-b-q yesterday for OMAD. I stopped myself before I felt stuffed. They sprinkle some seasoning mix on before serving and that tasted really salty to me. 🤷♀️ Not concerned.6 -
@tiabirdie56 Did your husband make dietary changes to turn his diabetes around?
I again recommend The Diabetes Code and The Obesity Code by Jason Fung, MD. I have a diabetic friend who seems to follow the dietary advice of her “diabetes doctor” which has a crazy amount of carbs. My feeling is - why would a doctor prescribe a diet that worsens the situation instead of using a diet that improves it? ANSWER - He doesn’t want to “cure” the patient.6 -

My husband's doctor said he is no longer diabetic. I am full of thankfulness and praise to The Most High. HE did it. I cried for an hour after hearing the news.
That is fantastic news, happy dancing for the two of you xx3 -

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)
09/21 -187.6- (Trend weight 191.2)
09/22 -188.0- (Trend weight 190.9) I don’t always understand these weight fluctuations. I had to add fake calories when closing out last night just to reach the 1000 that MFP requires to close. Sometimes when you are watching carbs too it is difficult to get in enough calories. However, I will admit that my choices weren’t BAD per se, but they could have been a tad better. I will push water today since I didn’t get in enough yesterday and I will be thankful that my trend weight is still going down and rewarding me for my dedication to this process right now. I usually do much better in the fall and winter (besides December lol) so I am going to grab the ball and run with it.
09/23 -187.8- (Trend weight 190.6) There was a teeny tiny drop on the scale. I think I may be eating a little too much bread or bread products like wraps or pita even though they are low calorie AND low carb. I’ll try minimizing that over the next few day but continue to zig-zag the calories and carbs during my little experiment. I’m happy to see the trend weight does continue to move down in a pretty steady fashion. I’m feeling more and more confident in the 180’s and may scratch off the 190’s on my colorful chart below and may report my weight to MFP check-in soon. Gotta be brave and just do it!
09/24 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

09/26 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
09/27 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
09/28 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
