I'm going to take about 400 cals off each of my high cal days this week...that way I can make up for overdoing it this weekend, and stay at a maintenance level for the week.
Plus, 400 cal under on a high day is still like 300 more than I get on a low day, so I can suck it up for one week!1 -
Wed was good.
193 min of exercise, 13K steps, a little high on the carbs, but overall calories were about 500 under, so that's great!
I did skip my cardio workout due to lack of time, but I got all the strength training done, so that's cool.0 -
HA
I posted Wed yesterday...that should have been Tues.
Though actual Wed is pretty similar...120 min of walking since it's rest day...over 14K steps...calories and carbs a bit over for a low cal day, but within my goal range...and I got a bunch of errands run, so that's cool.0 -
Thursday - food was way over, even for a high day...mostly because I drank and entire bottle of wine with dinner...it was delicious though...and I did all my workouts and it's Lucifer's fracking waterfall, so I'll deal with the overage later...meh.0

Just note tracking:
For this optional Hogsmeade Weekend challenge, to ward off any bad luck that might happen your way, we ask you to complete both the following parts of the challenge to earn 2 points:
1. Stand in front of a mirror and take a good look at yourself (we promise you the mirror won't break). Find at least three features that you like about yourself. You don't have to share them here if you don't want to.
2. Choose 13 exercises (e.g. squats, push-ups, planks, yoga poses and so on) and complete 13 reps of each (or hold them for 13 seconds). Tell us what you did!
SLYTHERIN
1. Complete – I really like how I’m starting to get some ab definition…you definitely have to look hard to find it, but it’s there. I also really like the visible back muscles, and the reduced cellulite on my hamstrings.
2. Complete – 13 reps – flights of stairs, hamstring stretch, km walking?,

Friday, I actually worked out...saturday and sunday not so much, however, I did gardening and physical labor and I kept food in line, so I got that going for me...and the first week of hogwarts went well.0
-
The downside to super busy weekends...it takes forever to catch up on the weekend posts.
On the plus side, most folks are doing great even without me!!!
I feel good. Just some residual gas and bloating in the guts, but not much water retention since I was easily able to put on my rings today...so I got that going for me!!!1 -
Monday - good...food was a challenge...I just wanted to keep eating and eating and eating, but I managed to keep it all in check...it was hard though...spread the weed/feed, ordered the grass seed, got the raised flower beds in the back all set for winter...washed all the outdoor chairs.
Next order of business is building a fire pit!!!0 -
Tuesday - protein is too low, carbs a slightly up but ok...calories came in under, and that's even with a couple beers which is amazing!!!0
-
Pretty sure I sprained my foot yesterday - doing nothing more than walking downhill...not sure what to do about exercise, but walking is slow and careful and going with RICE, so no extra walking.
That also makes BBL a huge challenge since most of the workouts are on your feet.
I may just mock up some weights, and do the parts of High&Tight that are laying/kneeling so that I can retain the glute focus...I'll come up with something...0 -
redid workouts...<sigh>...I'll have to be really careful about food since walking on breaks/lunch is not going to happen...ugh...maybe I can do some cube weights instead???0
-
Wednesday was good...went home early, iced the foot off and on all night...put my magic herbal oil on it...today it's actually feeling much better! Food was decent, good protein, good calories, between fruit and ramen for dinner the carbs were a bit high, but I can live with that as long as the migraines don't start up again!0

Thursday was verging on bad, due to ice cream and whiskey...It wasn't that far off the +/- 200 cals that I allow myself, but due to the foot thing and reduced walking, I was trying to stay under, not over...6K steps, so not terrible...plus, I was able to do sections 2 and 3 of high and tight since those a not standing workouts...and I did a new ab routine, so that was cool.
Today everything is a bit more sore, I should have iced more last night I think.
I'm still looking good on calories for the week, but I really will need to be on top of things this weekend and not splurge. Tonight I might be going out with friends, but I may opt to stay home depending on how my foot feels. Tomorrow is my mother's birthday party - not sure what food will be like, not even sure what I'm bringing, but maybe I'll do vegetarian dip since everyone likes that one and it's relatively low cal, particularly if I bring veggies instead of corn chips for dipping. We don't have a time, but I should be able to fill up on sushi before going so I can avoid the snacking urge. Sunday is D&D, the mostly non-drinking group which should make calorie control a bit easier, but it's starting at noon and typically I don't eat before 1-2, so I need to bring something substantial to snack on or I'll end up eating a bunch of cookies or trail mix and such when I get hungry. Last time I made cows in a blanket and they were devoured so fast I didn't get to fill up on them and instead I ate too many chips and cookies...so, need to also make sure I bring PLENTY of whatever I want to eat because it's a group that is apparently part locust.1 -
Friday was good and workouts were done...ditto for Saturday...made salads for today, which was totes delish...cheese and crackers for tomorrow.0

Sunday was good...ate real food and minimized snacking...even did some working out...it was nice and solid!!!0
-
Monday was a challenge...I was super hungry, which was super annoying because it was a low calorie day...I did stay on target, but I also used up all of my +200 that I allow for wiggle room, which is something I try to stay on the other side of...12K steps, but no other exercise...had to put the dog down in the evening, he wouldn't even walk...sad, but clearly he was ready to be gone...and he's the last of Alice's pets, so I'm sure they are having a big ole reunion on the other side of that rainbow bridge.0
-
All of my joints hurt today...and shocker...Hashi thyroid can cause joint inflammation...most likely culprit for a flare...gluten...<sigh>
Well, today is a gluten kind of life...but that fits because I have been less keto and more low carb and that leaves me space for things like pasta and bread.
So, going to have to head more gluten free.0 -
Yesterday was actually really good on calories because I felt so crappy and I'm not much of a comfort eater...
Today I'm starting gluten free, so chicken and eggs for lunch...no cheese...I think I'll cut the dairy back a bit too...not out, but dial it back.
I have been good about eating maintenance calories, but the scale is reading up a pound...I think it's likely water from inflammation, but I do want to keep an eye on that because I have been at or under maintenance, so I shouldn't be fighting the scale, and it's too early for PMS.
Still sore today, less in the ankles today, more in the wrists and elbows...whiskey tango foxtrot...had dinner at a friend's house and she made us amazing baked spaghetti...more gluten...wonder how long it takes to clear it all out...I should look into that...
Tonight is ballet, maybe tomorrow night I can visit the naturopath (mom) and see if the thyroid stuff needs adjusting...it's been over a month since I started on the thyroid stuff, so it's about time for a double check anyway!0 -
symptoms should improve within 2 weeks and disappear completely in about 3 months.
<sigh>0 -
Wednesday was good...rest day so no formal workout, plus ballet night so no time to workout...I did manage 15K steps, so that's cool...and I snuck into the ballet class and got a video of Deirdre dancing...yay me!!!
Food was under, like not even a challenge under......wasn't hungry after lunch so didn't have my yogurt...not even hungry so didn't get a snack after ballet...went home and ate yummy food...piece of cake low calorie day!0 -
Thursday was awesome...I thought my food was going to be way under, but I just keyed in a snack I forgot to log (drama drama, dead battery in the truck last night, so snacking on the go) and while I'm a little bit under, it's not way under, and protein actually looks decent...I am super glad I had my salad with no dressing, and it was a high calorie day, so I almost had dressing, but honestly I've come to enjoy lettuce and veggies with just salt/pepper and actual veggie flavor which is subtle and hidden when covered in dressing.
Also did weights...8K steps even without walking at lunch...nice day all around...
Tonight is ballet - like 2 1/2 hours of rehearsal practice...ugh...but, I think I will shop with my free time and play some Pokemon, so it won't be a total loss.0 -
Friday food was on target, 10K steps, but no workouts because of the ballet schedule...1
-
Saturday was another crazy busy day...but I did fit in the workout I was supposed to do Friday and didn't...
Sunday was crazy busy, but I did fit in half of Saturday's workout...
Some workouts are better than none, and really, it's the end of the month so my motivation is garbage at this point.
I did measurements, they were good for recomp, some up, some down, no major changes either way.
Going to aim for 3 lbs loss in October...it will be hard, but I'm certain I can do this...also, going to stay gluten free.1 -
Monday!
Food was a challenge, but I succeeded...walking was done...yoga was done...it's the end of the month so tomorrow is a new plan and I begin to work on losing 3 lbs as well as starting some lower body exercise since the foot is feeling better.0 -
Tuesday!
Another solid day...food wasn't as much of a challenge and I was able to keep within my calorie goals pretty easily.
Started the new weight routine, though I only did 1 set of the standing leg weights...going to ease into it. Also made a chiro appt for next tuesday, so that should help!1 -
Wednesday and Thursday were solid...no workouts either day due to scheduling stuff, but food was pretty on-target...8K steps Wed, 10K steps Thursday...good enough...not enough sleep any of the days this week, and the weekend schedule is pretty packed too.
I'm seriously thinking Saturday of taking a nap and the plan is drive in in the evening, so getting some extra rest in the afternoon would be nice, assuming there is time once all the errands get done!0 -

Friday - lots and lots of walking but no other workouts - calories were way over to the tune of a latte and whiskey, but other than those food was good.
Saturday - no formal workouts, but the girl child has dress and shoes for homecoming, so this is a major win for the day - calories were on target.
Sunday - no formal workouts, but 4 hours of gardening, so that's good - calories were on target.
