8/09- 171.8 Not enough water yesterday. I did enjoy a spontaneous movie with a friend and did not have popcorn. Normally I would have gotten it just out of habit but I realized I wasn’t very hungry and also that this theater didn’t have good popcorn. Didn’t miss the popcorn at all.

Tonight we’re meeting my parents for a nice meal out. I often make the mistake of showing up “starving” when I’m eating out. I’m going to plan my day to stay light on calories and meditate on the menu. I plan to enjoy the treat and expect to spike up this weekend a bit.
I have the best of intentions to have a productive day and stay on track.

8/4 DNW (using 131.0 as start)
8/5 135.0
✅Level Up! 🚫 no logging or 📝 since Friday 8/2 - I weighed 131.0. Yesterday:🚶‍♀️8k 💤6hrs

I went off “plan” this past weekend, but did NOT go “off the rails”. When I stepped on the scale I thought, I’m gonna weigh 135 and sure enough I was 100% accurate! I feel like a BLOB.

When I was out with the girls Sat, I was “good” but I drank 2 mezcals w/fresh lime… one piece of Keylime pie. Lots of mineral water… Yesterday we went to lunch with friends - had an “organic” Wagu pita sandwich and an ice cream cone last night. Still, plenty water. Saturday - 🚶‍♀️10k, 🏋️‍♀️ And I played three hours of tennis yesterday morn before lunch…. My body simply amazes me. Craves routine, then short-circuits when I choose to take a detour. REVOLUTION! It really is a total system and mine needs routine. I’m guessing it’ll take me three days off 💦💦💦and ROUTINE to remove the bloat. What a way to start a round!!
Will analyze “me” today, track and reset! Just give me EIGHT DAYS!
Let’s go!

8/6 ✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️12k 💤8hrs, 🏋️‍♀️20 min
P:E = 2:1, P= 124g

⚖️ I do expect ⚖️to drop more today/tomorrow… I literally saw puffs/pockets of fluid all over my body yesterday. What a trip! I don’t know what I ate that sent me into this zone … Maybe restaurant food, hidden seed-oils, crab boil, inducing wacko- bio-rhythms / “system-failure”. My body is probably saying “what the heck did you do to me?!!!!” To gain 4lbs and lose 2 practically overnight is NOT healthy. And, it didn’t feel good. I felt terrible - not psychologically for “going off plan/routine” but physically. Still coming out of the fog.

Yesterday was a good day re-entering normalcy. Continue to reset today.

NSV: Lesson learned: stick to what works to keep steady/even routine. I also learned that if something is too difficult to track – don’t eat it.

8/7 131.2
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️13k 💤7hrs, 🏋️‍♀️20min 🎾
P:E = 2:1, P= 99g 💦💦💦

I pre-logged nutrition yesterday — then forgot to drink my protein shake… so protein under but ratio good. 💦💦💦 is key.

I’m still in amazement of how I spiked 4lbs and then ⬇️. I am grateful that I understand it was a “systems/routine” conundrum and not what I put in my mouth - only when. 🏋️‍♀️ heavy yesterday- progressing. Today will be another day getting back in routine. Meeting a dear friend for coffee this morning - visiting with her will be a real treat.
🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🎾📝 💦.

8/8 131.2
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️15k 💤8hrs, 🏋️‍♀️15 min 🎾
P:E = 1.36:1, P= 109g 💦💦💦

Woke up with a slightly bruised shoulder from the fall … annoying. Cant keep me down.

Did not eat enough yesterday. Needed to eat some protein after tennis but just too tired so I showered and went to bed. Under eating days like yesterday never show up on the scale. 😃😎. Definitely back on routine today.

Night tennis impacts my systems negatively…. But gosh I love it! (Rough sleep & dehydration).

Will have a good day today once I wake up! And ☕️…

PS: 16 years ago today 08/08/08 my DH popped the question…. We are celebrating over coffee this morn and steak 🥩 tonight….
Ahhhhhh the simple life. I’m blessed!

Woke up @ 3AM so DNW. Took a rest day yesterday, except for 🏋️‍♀️. Did not play tennis or go for a structured walk… Simply too hot - took a two hour nap. Dinner out was nice. Today will be strong.

SW RND 268—168.8
8/4 169.0 I honestly don’t understand this uptick. I had a very active day yesterday and ate only 1100 calories of mostly high protein food. Hoping for a swoosh soon, but Dad is back in the hospital and I’m here with him this morning so food and exercise will be atypical today.
8/5 167.8 I managed the hospital cafeteria well. There were several high protein choices and I was able to stay away from all the sweets which are 80% of their offerings. I’ve never understood why the food choices at hospitals are so unhealthy! I did go home last night and took a pill to help me sleep (not something I do very often), so I’m rested this morning. Fingers crossed for a better day today for Dad.
8/6 166.6 managed food well again yesterday and got in steps around the hospital but no real exercise. Hope to get Dad back to his Assisted Living today. We did get a diagnosis yesterday—metastatic cancer. Most likely lymphoma. He doesn’t want to pursue treatment at 93, so….
8/7 166.2 Hanging in there. Haven’t really eaten much the last couple days so this is probably an artificial drop.
8/8 165 I am not eating enough. This is not sustainable, but I’ve just not been hungry. What I have eaten though, is high protein and healthy.
8/9 166.2 Ate a little more yesterday and hit my macros. Got in a walk in the evening for the first time in a bit. Today is our 37th wedding anniversary and I am wearing a little black dress in a much smaller size tonight for a special dinner.

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

08/08 -188.8- (Trend weight189.4) I typed it wrong yesterday—I meant that I’ve been bouncing back & forth between 188.2 and 189.2 Not 199! Anyway, I’m up today and not surprised since I traveled yesterday for the dentist. No cavities for me, 3 for my son so we have to go back for him in Sept and Oct. for fillings and a “core filling”. Ate at a steak house and one of the sides was Alfredo so I’m not surprised I’m up a bit. Experience tells me this could have been much much worse. Crew is back today to hopefully finish up the last of the windows. Ordered the roofing supplies yesterday which is $350.00 for delivery just to the end of the driveway! I was shocked!

08/09 -188.6- (Trend weight189.3) Very early weigh-in on a day I typically don’t weigh (Fri). Getting ready to leave for my nuclear stress test on the heart so today will be mainly all travel or sitting. Lunch will be out. I may skip my weight tomorrow, we’ll see. This is the last of the 3 out of 5 days of travel and appointments for this week.

R262 Weight Lost: 2.8 lbs
R268 Starting Weight: 181.4

It's been almost 10 years of "reasons" as to why I can't lose weight, and I'm tired of my own excuses.
I am here to take back control of my life, 10 days at a time.

8/4: - DNW. Went out for a nice breakfast and then out to a music festival. A whole lot of good food and a whole lot of walking in 100 degree heat. Was a great day though!
8/5: 181.4 - X
8/6: 180.0 - I did the 10 day challenge quite a bit ago and it was amazing! There was a lot that happened in the past two months, but it's been a week of sticking to workouts and I feel quite better in my headspace. I am only holding myself back from a future of self-love and accomplishment, and I want to not feel embarrassed around people anymore.
8/7: 179.8 - Getting sick again. I swear this summer is just crazy amounts of my being sick.
8/8: 181.2 - X
8/9: 181.8 - Just the beginning of this week, I told myself I wouldn't miss 2 days in a row of working out or counting calories. But when I get sick, I always tend to get sick hard. Body has been ACHING the past 2 days so I've been laying around in bed. Body aches seem to be gone so far this morning but now I gotta get ready for the possible flooding and storms rolling through today from the hurricane. Definitely looking forward to getting something done for me at some point of today!

Round 267
Female, 5'3.
35 years old
Starting weight: 160.9

8/5: 160.9. Starting weight.
8/6: 160.6. Tiring day, this is a busy week for us. On top of several appointments, our water heater started leaking. The plumber came and said we had to get the stand that it sits on replaced before he will put a new one in. Since we rent, we are at the mercy of our landlord for how quickly we can do that. There's always something. My eating wasn't great yesterday, but I tried to control it a bit. I'm not doing much for exercise right now, but I'm planning to start adding it in soon.
8/7: 158.8. Yesterday's goal was to log food. I wasn't really focusing on staying under my calorie goal, but I find just holding myself accountable for the food I eat tends to result in eating a bit more focused. As I result, I was under my calorie goal.
8/8: 158.0. My goal, again, was just to log. I was way over on my calories, but that's okay for now. It's a good reminder for me on how easy it is for calories to snesk in- I really didn't mean to have an 800 calorie breakfast! It wasn't even that outlandish, just 2 English muffins with egg, cheese and a little mayo. Oops. So while I have done all of this in the past, I still have to tackle the learning curve again.
8/9: 160.7. I had a heavy carb dinner last night (lasagna), so the bump up is probably water weight from that. I'm still tracking and still over on calories, but I'm getting closer to my goal. I'm planning to get more serious on staying under my goal next week.

It’s a high heat and humidity sort of day here, so I’m going to go walk inside Menards. 🤣 Have a good one!

Charlie is two years old today. 🎂 Last night Charlie passed with flying colors the first of two tests for his AKC Temperament test title. Next week he’ll take the second test. What a good boy!

Finally, a cool day! Several in the forecast. I’m hoping to catch up with garden work after the heat wave. Enjoy your day!

8/08 - 197
I did quite a bit of garden work yesterday and feel it a bit today. I’m going to try to walk it off this morning.

Phooey. Time lag from Wed., I think, as we had KFC and I ate more than necessary. Oh, well. Onward.

RND 266 SW 212.0 EW 208.0
RND 267 SW 207.4 EW DNW
RND 268 SW 208.2

Goals:
🧠Refocus and daily reminders that the scale is just a tool not a determining factor. 📊Weight is just a number to track data
🥩Increase my protein intake
🚰🏋️‍♀️Maintain water and exercise

8/4 208.2 The last week played havoc on my mental health. Between the stress of a sick cat, job woes, and frustration with this journey I found myself in a spiral this weekend. Yesterday I was close to throwing in the towel and giving up. This morning on my walk with the dog I reminded myself this is not something to “give up” because I’m making changes that will last forever. That means a rough week doesn’t negate all of the progress I’ve made over the last 3 months. I need to recognize the struggles and work through them this week. It’s a new month and new round with a new daily mantra reminding myself that the scale does not determine success. I do.

8/5 205.6 Decided I needed a better measurement than the scale to check my progress. I went to the thrift store and bought jeans in smaller sizes. When I got home I tried them on just to see how they fit, expecting all of them to be too small. To my surprise, one of the pairs actually fit. It was a little tight, but I’d wear them and feel good in them. My DH called the clothes my victory clothes and I’m in agreement with him. It felt like a victory putting on a pair of jeans that was 3 sizes smaller than the shorts I’d had on.

8/6 205.4 Went through my closet last night and tried on some of the clothes I’ve shoved in the back because I didn’t like how they looked on me (or I didn’t like how I felt wearing them). Added some to the donation pile because I still don’t like them and there’s no need to keep them. Kept a few because I put them on and felt good. I looked good.

8/7 205.4 I’m good with this considering I ate Cheez Its around 1am. Talk about late night binge.

8/8 205.2 Another late night binge, but a drop in weight. Either the increase in food is helping me drop weight or it’s going to show up in the next couple of days. Either way, I’m going to count this as a win.

Comments pertain to previous day

SW RND 268 132.0
8/4 132.0 I slept wrong and have a tweaked muscle in my upper back. My wake up h/a is gone, Fosamax taken and coffee consumed. DH wants to go to the gym “early” but is still sleeping. I prefer the gym in the early afternoon. Today’s high is supposed to be 113.
8/5 132.5 Awake @4:28AM - too darn early. The bump is from the churro I ate at El Pollo Loco on Saturday evening. My muscle is still tweaked but I plan to go to the gym anyway.
8/6 132.0 Gym was good. Walked, cycled, hip machines, row, back extension, chest - 52 minutes on my HRM. Nothing seems to be sore today. I am craving GARLIC! Do you think I’m pregnant? LOL
8/7 133.0 My own “fault” - dealing with depression (his and mine) and I’m tired of guessing what he will want to eat when I would be happy with hamburgers (no buns) every day. We went to Taco Bell for the first time in about 7 years. Cheap, filling, and anything but low carb! Teeth cleaning today. Gotta get my act together!
Got caught up on posts then lost my internet signal. 🤦‍♀️ The wind was howling last night and continues this morning.
8/8 132.0 Endocrinologist appointment this afternoon. I know my test results are screwed up by eating only protein and zero vegetables for 4 weeks due to temporary crowns.
8/9 131.5 Endocrinologist visit was good. She was not concerned about the slightly high creatine/protein level. She is ordering Prolia twice yearly. We have to wait for the insurance to agree and order it. Hopefully not too long as we go to Oklahoma a month from tomorrow!

8/4. 137.0. The highest I have been in seven months! 👣✏️

8/5. 136.3. Hit the gym for some bonus points today. Starting this round off on a better note. 🏋️‍♀️👣✏️

8/6. 136.9. I let some after 8:00 pm snacking get the better of me last night and was still short on water intake. Made it to the gym and did a 2 mile walk with my dog. Was totally on target with everything today! 🏋️‍♀️👣✏️💧🚫

8/7. 134.8. See what following the plan can do! Now I just need to do it again. One day at a time! Made it to the gym 3 days in a row! 🏋️‍♀️👣✏️💧🚫

8/8. 134.9. Dealing with getting estimates from folks that can clean out our crawl space from a burst main water line… need old , wet insulation and vapor liner removed and replaced. Also need estimates from a plumber to repair the pipe. Luckily our neighbor was able to plumber us in with a temporary solution so we can have water and not pay for emergency repairs. So… no gym for me today and probably not tomorrow. 👣✏️💧🚫

8/9. 133.9. 👣✏️💧🚫

F, 43yrs, 5'1, prediabetic, unable to be as active as I'd like, due to recent knee surgery.

Goals This Round
1. Log ALL food (even if it's high calorie)
2. Drink 3 bottles of water.
3. Start enjoying my salads again!

RSW : 205.8
RGW : 204
UGW : 160

8/4 - All meals went to plan but didn't drink enough water so had a late night snack. Ended up over my calories by 18🤦🏼‍♀️ Must drink more tomorrow!

8/5 - All meals went to plan but still didn't drink enough water 🤦🏼‍♀️even less than the day before 🤬 stayed under my calorie goal by pure willpower as I could of easily ate 4 bars of chocolate before bed. MUST DO BETTER WITH THE WATER INTAKE!

8/6 - Breakfast and Lunch went to plan but dinner, not so much - hubby cooked and obviously piled my plate with chips 🤦🏼‍♀️and I couldn't just leave them on the plate 😂 only went over calorie goal by 56 so not too bad going for the day AND I drank my quota of water AND I went for a little walk (first walk since my knee operation so it was slow and steady) Not a bad day considering! 😁👍🏼

8/7 - oh dear! Not a good day. Over calories by near 500 🤦🏼‍♀️ and definitely not enough water. I don't expect the next few days to go well either as it's my birthday 🙈

8/8 - Didn't count my calories today - birthdays only happen once a year, after all 😂

8/9 - (weigh in day) 207. No surprise on the scales this morning. I did have a massive plate of Chinese food for dinner the day before and a big piece of chocolate cake for my birthday 🎂 so the gain was expected.
Back on it today! Stayed under my calorie goal and drank a ton of water 👍🏼

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

8/4 DNW (using 131.0 as start)
8/5 135.0
✅Level Up! 🚫 no logging or 📝 since Friday 8/2 - I weighed 131.0. Yesterday:🚶‍♀️8k 💤6hrs

I went off “plan” this past weekend, but did NOT go “off the rails”. When I stepped on the scale I thought, I’m gonna weigh 135 and sure enough I was 100% accurate! I feel like a BLOB.

When I was out with the girls Sat, I was “good” but I drank 2 mezcals w/fresh lime… one piece of Keylime pie. Lots of mineral water… Yesterday we went to lunch with friends - had an “organic” Wagu pita sandwich and an ice cream cone last night. Still, plenty water. Saturday - 🚶‍♀️10k, 🏋️‍♀️ And I played three hours of tennis yesterday morn before lunch…. My body simply amazes me. Craves routine, then short-circuits when I choose to take a detour. REVOLUTION! It really is a total system and mine needs routine. I’m guessing it’ll take me three days off 💦💦💦and ROUTINE to remove the bloat. What a way to start a round!!
Will analyze “me” today, track and reset! Just give me EIGHT DAYS!
Let’s go!

8/6 ✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️12k 💤8hrs, 🏋️‍♀️20 min
P:E = 2:1, P= 124g

⚖️ I do expect ⚖️to drop more today/tomorrow… I literally saw puffs/pockets of fluid all over my body yesterday. What a trip! I don’t know what I ate that sent me into this zone … Maybe restaurant food, hidden seed-oils, crab boil, inducing wacko- bio-rhythms / “system-failure”. My body is probably saying “what the heck did you do to me?!!!!” To gain 4lbs and lose 2 practically overnight is NOT healthy. And, it didn’t feel good. I felt terrible - not psychologically for “going off plan/routine” but physically. Still coming out of the fog.

Yesterday was a good day re-entering normalcy. Continue to reset today.

NSV: Lesson learned: stick to what works to keep steady/even routine. I also learned that if something is too difficult to track – don’t eat it.

8/7 131.2
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️13k 💤7hrs, 🏋️‍♀️20min 🎾
P:E = 2:1, P= 99g 💦💦💦

I pre-logged nutrition yesterday — then forgot to drink my protein shake… so protein under but ratio good. 💦💦💦 is key.

I’m still in amazement of how I spiked 4lbs and then ⬇️. I am grateful that I understand it was a “systems/routine” conundrum and not what I put in my mouth - only when. 🏋️‍♀️ heavy yesterday- progressing. Today will be another day getting back in routine. Meeting a dear friend for coffee this morning - visiting with her will be a real treat.
🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🎾📝 💦.

8/8 131.2
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️15k 💤8hrs, 🏋️‍♀️15 min 🎾
P:E = 1.36:1, P= 109g 💦💦💦

Woke up with a slightly bruised shoulder from the fall … annoying. Cant keep me down.

Did not eat enough yesterday. Needed to eat some protein after tennis but just too tired so I showered and went to bed. Under eating days like yesterday never show up on the scale. 😃😎. Definitely back on routine today.

Night tennis impacts my systems negatively…. But gosh I love it! (Rough sleep & dehydration).

Will have a good day today once I wake up! And ☕️…

PS: 16 years ago today 08/08/08 my DH popped the question…. We are celebrating over coffee this morn and steak 🥩 tonight….
Ahhhhhh the simple life. I’m blessed!

8/9 DNW
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶‍♀️6k 💤5hrs, 🏋️‍♀️30min
P:E = 2:1, P= 140g 💦

Woke up @ 3AM so DNW. Took a rest day yesterday, except for 🏋️‍♀️. Did not play tennis or go for a structured walk… Simply too hot - took a two hour nap. Dinner out was nice. Today will be strong.

SW RND 268—168.8
8/4 169.0 I honestly don’t understand this uptick. I had a very active day yesterday and ate only 1100 calories of mostly high protein food. Hoping for a swoosh soon, but Dad is back in the hospital and I’m here with him this morning so food and exercise will be atypical today.
8/5 167.8 I managed the hospital cafeteria well. There were several high protein choices and I was able to stay away from all the sweets which are 80% of their offerings. I’ve never understood why the food choices at hospitals are so unhealthy! I did go home last night and took a pill to help me sleep (not something I do very often), so I’m rested this morning. Fingers crossed for a better day today for Dad.
8/6 166.6 managed food well again yesterday and got in steps around the hospital but no real exercise. Hope to get Dad back to his Assisted Living today. We did get a diagnosis yesterday—metastatic cancer. Most likely lymphoma. He doesn’t want to pursue treatment at 93, so….
8/7 166.2 Hanging in there. Haven’t really eaten much the last couple days so this is probably an artificial drop.
8/8 165 I am not eating enough. This is not sustainable, but I’ve just not been hungry. What I have eaten though, is high protein and healthy.
8/9 166.2 Ate a little more yesterday and hit my macros. Got in a walk in the evening for the first time in a bit. Today is our 37th wedding anniversary and I am wearing a little black dress in a much smaller size tonight for a special dinner.

8/10 166.8 Comfort food day, and I know I was over on calories/carbs and short on protein. No Anniversary dinner or little black dress. That had to be postponed due to another hospital ER visit with Dad. Did get in some hospital walking—my new term for what I seem to be able to do these days.

Female, 5'3.
35 years old
Starting weight: 160.9

8/5: 160.9. Starting weight.

8/6: 160.6. Tiring day, this is a busy week for us. On top of several appointments, our water heater started leaking. The plumber came and said we had to get the stand that it sits on replaced before he will put a new one in. Since we rent, we are at the mercy of our landlord for how quickly we can do that. There's always something. My eating wasn't great yesterday, but I tried to control it a bit. I'm not doing much for exercise right now, but I'm planning to start adding it in soon.

8/7: 158.8. Yesterday's goal was to log food. I wasn't really focusing on staying under my calorie goal, but I find just holding myself accountable for the food I eat tends to result in eating a bit more focused. As I result, I was under my calorie goal.

8/8: 158.0. My goal, again, was just to log. I was way over on my calories, but that's okay for now. It's a good reminder for me on how easy it is for calories to snesk in- I really didn't mean to have an 800 calorie breakfast! It wasn't even that outlandish, just 2 English muffins with egg, cheese and a little mayo. Oops. So while I have done all of this in the past, I still have to tackle the learning curve again.

8/9: 160.7. I had a heavy carb dinner last night (lasagna), so the bump up is probably water weight from that. I'm still tracking and still over on calories, but I'm getting closer to my goal. I'm planning to get more serious on staying under my goal next week.

8/10: 159.0. Yesterday was the first time I actually stayed under my calorie goal, so I'm happy about that. I even managed to say no to my husband when he asked if I wanted a breakfast burrito. The burritos we usually order are huge and packed with all kinds of goodness. I have no idea what the calories are on them, but I'm sure I'd be close to, or over, my daily goal just from that burrito.

RND 265 SW 208.6 EW 214.6
RND 266 SW 212.0 EW 208.0
RND 267 SW 207.4 EW DNW
RND 268 SW 208.2

Goals:
🧠Refocus and daily reminders that the scale is just a tool not a determining factor. 📊Weight is just a number to track data
🥩Increase my protein intake
🚰🏋️‍♀️Maintain water and exercise

8/4 208.2 The last week played havoc on my mental health. Between the stress of a sick cat, job woes, and frustration with this journey I found myself in a spiral this weekend. Yesterday I was close to throwing in the towel and giving up. This morning on my walk with the dog I reminded myself this is not something to “give up” because I’m making changes that will last forever. That means a rough week doesn’t negate all of the progress I’ve made over the last 3 months. I need to recognize the struggles and work through them this week. It’s a new month and new round with a new daily mantra reminding myself that the scale does not determine success. I do.

8/5 205.6 Decided I needed a better measurement than the scale to check my progress. I went to the thrift store and bought jeans in smaller sizes. When I got home I tried them on just to see how they fit, expecting all of them to be too small. To my surprise, one of the pairs actually fit. It was a little tight, but I’d wear them and feel good in them. My DH called the clothes my victory clothes and I’m in agreement with him. It felt like a victory putting on a pair of jeans that was 3 sizes smaller than the shorts I’d had on.

8/6 205.4 Went through my closet last night and tried on some of the clothes I’ve shoved in the back because I didn’t like how they looked on me (or I didn’t like how I felt wearing them). Added some to the donation pile because I still don’t like them and there’s no need to keep them. Kept a few because I put them on and felt good. I looked good.

8/7 205.4 I’m good with this considering I ate Cheez Its around 1am. Talk about late night binge.

8/8 205.2 Another late night binge, but a drop in weight. Either the increase in food is helping me drop weight or it’s going to show up in the next couple of days. Either way, I’m going to count this as a win.

8/9 205.0

8/10 205.6 D&D last night, which brings snacking and late nights with not enough water or movement. This bump is expected, but better than I thought it would be. Tried chocolate covered almonds and they were really good. So that’s a win.

It’s a high heat and humidity sort of day here, so I’m going to go walk inside Menards. 🤣 Have a good one!

Charlie is two years old today. 🎂 Last night Charlie passed with flying colors the first of two tests for his AKC Temperament test title. Next week he’ll take the second test. What a good boy!

8/07 - 196.8
Finally, a cool day! Several in the forecast. I’m hoping to catch up with garden work after the heat wave. Enjoy your day!

8/08 - 197
I did quite a bit of garden work yesterday and feel it a bit today. I’m going to try to walk it off this morning.

8/09 - 197.6
Phooey. Time lag from Wed., I think, as we had KFC and I ate more than necessary. Oh, well. Onward.

8/10 - 197.8
Not a surprise. Overall calories were fine, but we went out for Mexican for late lunch/early dinner and it was delish but salty. Back on track today.

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.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Comments pertain to previous day

SW RND 268 132.0
8/4 132.0 I slept wrong and have a tweaked muscle in my upper back. My wake up h/a is gone, Fosamax taken and coffee consumed. DH wants to go to the gym “early” but is still sleeping. I prefer the gym in the early afternoon. Today’s high is supposed to be 113.
8/5 132.5 Awake @4:28AM - too darn early. The bump is from the churro I ate at El Pollo Loco on Saturday evening. My muscle is still tweaked but I plan to go to the gym anyway.
8/6 132.0 Gym was good. Walked, cycled, hip machines, row, back extension, chest - 52 minutes on my HRM. Nothing seems to be sore today. I am craving GARLIC! Do you think I’m pregnant? LOL
8/7 133.0 My own “fault” - dealing with depression (his and mine) and I’m tired of guessing what he will want to eat when I would be happy with hamburgers (no buns) every day. We went to Taco Bell for the first time in about 7 years. Cheap, filling, and anything but low carb! Teeth cleaning today. Gotta get my act together!
Got caught up on posts then lost my internet signal. 🤦‍♀️ The wind was howling last night and continues this morning.
8/8 132.0 Endocrinologist appointment this afternoon. I know my test results are screwed up by eating only protein and zero vegetables for 4 weeks due to temporary crowns.
8/9 131.5 Endocrinologist visit was good. She was not concerned about the slightly high creatine/protein level. She is ordering Prolia twice yearly. We have to wait for the insurance to agree and order it. Hopefully not too long as we go to Oklahoma a month from tomorrow!
8/10 131.5 Oops, I double booked for today. Planned to get together with gal pals at 3 and then added going to Golden Corral at 2 with DH and a friend whose wife is out of town. We gal pals have not gotten together in almost a YEAR! Gal pals win!
