    SW RND 294: 166.2


    This is the year that I finally get it done 🚢 I steer my own ship

    Destination: Healthy BMI at 50

    Well I made the error of thinking if I made some pumpkin protein bread, that I could eat it in moderation. I ate the whole loaf! Ate it as my food all day while I was working in the garden. On the plus side, I got my bean patch planted. I can turn this around.

    Hello Faithful MFP Supporters 🙂

    It's so good to know that no matter when I jump in and out you are still here for all these years. I'm trying again to get accountable daily. I fell of the wagon and it ran over me and backed up a few times but I'm working on things.

    Getting my property back to "Before Hurricane Normal" has both consumed me and paralyzed me. By January many of us just stopped. We needed a break from the daily grind of clean up and red tape. Of course the rest of our lives didn't pause because crap keeps falling out of the trees and insects are nesting in the uncleared fallen vegetation. I'm back at it daily and trying to stay sane.

    Thanks to all of you for help with my sanity. I rarely comment but I browse your stories and appreciate the camaraderie here.

    Round 294 goal:

    Finish these last few days after a late start AND be ready to start the next round

    Return to low carb with consistency

    Weigh in and post here daily

    Update and follow through on my exercise plan

    4/21 148.8 this is salt retention from yesterday's ham Unfortunately it was delicious and we have a ton of leftovers so this salt is probably going to plague me all week. But my BS was 98 this morning, so that is a big plus for the week.
    4/22 stayed the same, in spite of a calorie deficit and 20K steps. But the easter ham is almost gone, just a bit left, and throwing away food is not my thing. So long as I stay in a calorie deficit, I ignore temporary salt/water retentions. On the plus side, for this round I decided to start a 16/8 fast, starting at 11 and eating till 7. Starting at 11 is not a problem, though I have been snacking a bit on sugar free dark chocolate and almonds after 7. I am not doing this fast so much for weight as to have a normal blood sugar in the morning. Snacking at night is my hardest thing to give up. I have no problem staying within calorie goals but I always budgeted a few hundred calories for an evening snack and this is hard to move earlier or change. I'm not going to beat myself up about it if I fail, but I am going to try every day. On a plus/minus side, I had bought quite a few size 16 insect shield lee jeans in the winter, when they were on sale, and they are all so big that they look like elephant skin on me. I am almost in tens. Wondering if I can alter them. I never thought I'd get this low. So I guess that's a plus, but it is frustrating to not have them available during the worst of spring tick season.
    4/23 148.4 Last of the ham was yesterday, so hoping tomorrow sees the end of water weight. I've been in a calorie deficit, salt aside, so hoping for a whoosh in the next couple of days.
    4/24 took the dog to the vet early, did not weigh
    4/25 147.8 finally back where i was before the easter ham And yesterday, before I ate dinner, tested my blood sugar and it was 96 So that was a plus!

    4/26 147.2 finally a drop

    4/27 147.6 And I bounced back up but was expecting it as yesterday was a spaghetti with the family day. I eat less than a measured cup, on a bed of veggies, but I always see a carb water weight bounce the next day. Stayed well within my calorie deficit and I walked 20K steps as usual, so I do think this is just carb weight. The next two days should be better. I warned my family I am not cooking a sunday dinner and they'll have to fend on their own the next two days. They'll eat hamburgers and pizzas while I eat salads and low carb meals and we will both be happy.

    4/28 146.4 !!! met last minigoal of 147 and I have only .8 pounds to be not overweight. And my BMI is 25.2 so only .2 to be at the high end of normal BMI. And I tested my A1c this morning, and it was 6.4, which may sound high, but it was over 10 when it was tested 6 months ago, so that is a big drop. And though my BS has been stubborn for a few days, it was 100 this morning. Not as good as 96 but still the high end of normal. New minigoal 145

    @patriciafoley1 Culinary Lion has a good (in my opinion) Pizza Hut copycat crust made with egg and cheese.

    I make it ahead and keep it in the freezer.

    Female 5’1” Age 75 years 

    HWE 197.0 (2/2008)

    Weight on 1/17/17 174.5

    OGW 137 (set by WW 2008, WW goal 1985 was 126) UGW was 125 (HS weight)

    1/1/25  139.5

    Comments pertain to previous day
    ****

    SW RND 294 132.0

    4/21   132.5  A good day with granddaughter #2 yesterday. We went over to the pool. I have the beginning of a tan. Steak and broccoli for non-traditional Easter meal. 

    4/22  133.0  Dinner with fam last night at In-n-Out. We wanted Yonutz for dessert but the area location is permanently closed. Went to see the  Conservatory and fountains at Bellagio.  Taking granddaughter to Juan’s Flaming Fajitas for lunch today

    4/23   132.5  DGD#2 flies home to KC at noon. It’s been a good visit. No extreme activities. I behaved myself food wise except for chips at Mexican restaurant yesterday but even then, I didn’t go crazy.

    4/24   133.0 I ate one meal yesterday which included some of my sourdough bread. Considering all of the eating out (and no TMI) since Saturday, I’m okay with this.

    4/25   133.5  Had 1/2# Jesse Rae’s BBQ burnt ends, 3 waffle fries, 2T house made sauce (HOT - YUM!) That is everything I ate yesterday! 

    4/26   133.5  Community French toast breakfast this morning. DH says he’s tired of everyone and he’s not going. Still waiting for TMI

    4/27   134.0  We both went to the breakfast yesterday and we probably BOTH should have skipped! 

    4/28   134.0 Today is Art Quilts meeting across town.

    ⭐️ I really wish MFP would do something about the spacing!

    4/21 - 168.9

    4/22 - 168.5

    4/23 - 167.5

    4/24 - 167.5

    4/25 - 167.8

    4/26 - 168.5

    4/27 - DNW

    4/28 - 170.4 - Ouch. Saturday was a mess. Friday night a pipe got clogged while the dishwasher was running and we didn't know it until we flooded the kitchen. Saturday we had the plumber son and his best friend (also plumber) come out to help us fix it since they were on call this weekend. That left us unable to make food all day Saturday and snacking on whatever was in the pantry - not ideal by any means. Once that finished up, we were headed into the city to meet up with one of BF's friends from his training for drinks and then dinner. I overate, as I usually do at his place, and I felt it. Yesterday wasn't great, either. We didn't plan anything out other than meal prep and we were out running errands and doing some renovations on the shop so no true meals until dinner. I was much closer to calorie goal and had gotten my water in (which I was horrifically low on water Saturday). Hoping to see a drop in the scale in the next couple days as I stay on track. This week's meals are challenging - BF chose a couple meals and he loves high fat (like his protein sources are more often than not higher in fat than protein) which has left me over on my fat goals nearly every day - with just one meal! Ouch. I didn't realize it until it was too late and by then I didn't want to throw out 4 meals worth of food and I didn't have time to go to the grocery store to get more food to make my own meals so I'm just going to do my best to meet calorie goals by offsetting my carbs (which isn't too hard considering these meals are lower carb naturally due to BF's alternating keto days). Hoping I can still see progress since I'm maintaining my protein, fiber, and calorie goals, even if I'm not within fat or carb buffers.

    Patience and consistency! I know what to do, it’s just doing it for more than a week at a time. Stop starting over. Going to focus on my food for this month. Too much grabbing nuts and cheese to nibble instead of planning actual food. I hate food prep.

    @MSWDiet when you have been through something really life changing like that, it can take a few tries to really get back into some kind of routine. I am glad you are taking care of yourself.

    @patriciafoley1 normal BMI!!!! An amazing goal! Congrats on your hard work

    @_JeffreyD_ Morel hunting is a HUGE thing in my neck of the woods (Northern Michigan.). My oh my, how everyone keeps their spots a secret! HA! My sister got lost in the woods once, turned around by looking down so much. She finally found her way out. She was only slightly shaken because she found so many mushrooms!

We will probably go to the steak house which shouldn’t be too bad carb-wise but calories will be over for sure. I’m happy to see my weight is stable today and my trend is still going down. I read my trend weight as my body’s faith in me. This feels good.
