December Basics Challenge:
Wednesday, Dec. 2
Original Weight: 185-190 lbs in late June, 2015
SW: 152.4
CW: 150.8 (scale dipped today but I am a bit dehydrated)
GW for Dec 31: Under 150 (at least most of the time)
Final GW: ~140lbs
December Goals:- Eat below 25g of carbs on all days except possibly Dec. 9th (dinner theatre and school party), 18th (party), 24, 25, and 31(hosting a party). Wednesday was 25g.
- If I eat over 25g of carbs in a day, it is not to exceed 35g. N/A
- I can eat over my calories on a few days but will cut back on other days to make up for it, without going hungry. calories were around 1600 = fine
- Do at least one fat fast (~500kcal of mainly fat) per week. That's today
- Use IF with BPC to eat meals/solid food (that sounds really weird...) between 2pm and 7pm on the majority of days. N/A
- Complete Round 1 of P90X just before Xmas. Taking a rest day instead of YogaX. My joints need it.

Started at 184, today I'm 181.8 I know it's water weight, but it was nice to see a drop. I know lots of people shake their heads at this, but I tend to weigh daily. Seeing the drops and rises, depending on what I eat, how much, and if I exercise or not helps me continue to make good choices.0

- Complete Round 1 of P90X just before Xmas. Taking a ouple of rest days (Sat and Sun). DOMS is crazy! My glutes are so sore it hurts to sit in a chair. LOL
We had a good day on Saturday. The basketball team I coach had a wicked game, the type where we were barely up by a couple of baskets the entire game but then the other team pulled ahead in the last 3 minutes. I called a time out at 50 odd seconds, gave them a pep talk, and they managed to tie and then win in the last 10 seconds. I almost had a heart attack. LOL Just awesome!
And I was proud of myself too. This is community ball for 10-13 year olds, and we're all about equal floor time. I kept the same line-up in the game in those last minutes even though they were not all of our strongest players. I just told them I believed in them and knew they could do it, and they did it! A proud coaching/mom moment!
And then my youngest had a really strong soccer game and they were all on task , which is a big deal for a team of 8 year old boys who are signed up for soccer because they obviously have too much energy and their parents need to focus it for a while. LOL
Oh! And we found a great deal on an Xmas tree! We're out of work now but we still love Xmas trees and usually spend a lot (too much) on thick trees. We were going to cut way back and get a shorter and more sparse tree this year but the one hubby found is so thick around that it takes up a quarter of the room and you can't even see the trunk. It's awesome, and it was only $35 ! A splurge but it will be up for a month and a half so that is less than a dollar a day. Yay!
Saturday was just a realy nice day.

It's not all water. You're off to a great start! 0 -
Being sick this week has kept me from the exercise I had planned for my goal this month. But, I'm improving and believe I will be back to myself by tomorrow.
The illness turned into a three day water (though not enough) fast. I've been planning to incorporate IF, so now I know I can. Plus, I'm sure it will be optimal when I feel good while doing it. The scale rewarded me with a 3lb loss though, and I will take it. Leaves me at 190.3 (so close to the 180's!!), which is a lower weight than when I was 15 years old!! I'm sure the increases will come with rehydration, but it sure was nice to see!0 -

I can't help myself. I need to know. But I also know when my scale is drunk and to not let what it says get to me.0 -

My fitness goal was to lose enough weight to hopefully make playing bball in a rec league possible. I have arthritis in my knees and hips but I still want to play more before I end up with replacements in 10 years.
Ah, the nuts. So good yet so bad....

End of week one.
Back on keto and .2 oz from lowest weight! So that's good. So revised my weight goal after getting a body composition weigh in. Might need to shoot for another 15 or so pounds. I'm not in a rush and its all good. Feeling revitalized after getting back on track.
Increasing activity naturally is going well this week. Turns out the new job is very physical and although I'm very tired now I think I will be able to adjust! Getting used to the computer and phone tasks may be harder in the long run. I also went dancing for hours and had a great time. Feets, don't fail me now! So thats on track.
Holiday attitude is so-so. No decorating yet. Still weepy about lots of weird things. But being on diet track and activity track is making me feel at least steady. Now if I
were to break my lowest weight again - that might help me feel some spirit!
So this week's final report is: hanging in there!

I had allowed myself whatever dairy lately, even putting it back in one or two coffees a day. My stomach has been making all sorts of noises, so I'm cutting it back down to avoid whatever I can again. I'll probably have the last of the egg nog with my husband tonight, so today it's dairy free other than that. And a work week means it'll be way easier to keep up with my water!
I have decided to bring my water bottle on vacation so I can seal it when needed, rather than dump it out. That'll help me track how much I actually have had.0 -
