Well...to say I've had a set back is an understatement. I did great while on vacation - it's been the two weeks that I've been back - I've been eating like a pig (and that's an insult to pigs everywhere!).
Back for my 4th round.
BW - 221.8
R14 - 218.8
R15 - 216.2
R16 - 218.2 - vacation
R17 - who knows what happened here.
R18 - goal of 219. The bulk of this should come off quick, right?
10/2 - 222.8
10/3 - 223 - well that's certainly not good
10/4 - 220.6 - that's more like it.
10/5 - 220.6

-> -> today is another bad day. lethargic all day, couldn't get myself to do any exercise. But did do some walking outside with the bf & a friend for pokemon raids. More junk food today, but kept it to half portions and while I'm back to feeling blah, at least I'm posting here, so that's good.

9/30: 154.6 /Going back down to my lowest from R17. Ate under calories today but no exercise. The next two days are going to be a wash. I'm going to a conference in Maine and plan to enjoy myself in terms of food. I will try to still estimate everything I eat!
10/1: 155 /Up again. I don't know why. I mean, It's still my TOM and I didn't drink much water yesterday. It's equally disappointing because I'm going on this conference now and planning to eat more than usual. Well, off to the airport.
10/2: No scale (conference in Maine) / I ate over calories by a lot yesterday+today and did not and could not log everything...from lobster with butter to fries to specialty donuts and all the random munchies in between, along with alcohol. I throughly enjoyed myself but I'm terrified of the repercussions.
10/3: Too scared to weigh myself / It was hard to get back into the groove today. I didn't have snacks prepped. I felt peckish all day and munched on gourmet popcorn and random snacks. I stayed within calories, just barely, with little nutritional value and didn't go to the gym today. It was hard. I hope tomorrow will be a better day. I will weigh myself tomorrow.
10/4: 155.8 /Sigh, very disappointing. Was over calories but not by much. Getting back into the groove has been difficult (writing this on 10/5)
10/5: 155.2 /I just wish I was back in the 154s. Fasted until 2pm today because of physical/fasting blood glucose test. Actually came in at 155.8 in the morning but 155.2 (with dress on) at the doctor's office. I've decided to log the lower weight here while acknowledging my home scale weight. Under calories right now because of the fasting. Walked 10,000+ steps and biked 3 miles home from the doctor's. Also got some awesome size 10 American Eagle jeans and a size 8 pair to work towards!
10/6: 153.8 /Not going to get excited yet! If I can stay under 154 by 10/9, I'll be ecstatic! Ate within calories (though estimated sweet potato fries, so who knows). Had two whiskey diet cokes. Hoping to stay on track for this long weekend! *Fingers crossed*

Fine on calories, no added sugar, did some walking. I'm trying to talk myself into a short jog still tonight. Tried quinoa pizza crust for the first time, I'll definitely have it regularly. It's easier to make and less messy than traditional flour or cauliflower crust (which I only tried once but it was a pain to rice and drain the cauliflower).
10/1: 172.5 lbs
Good on calories, water, no added sugar but I made a small dessert with dates. Led a two-hour nature walk at work, which was fun.
10/2: 172.0
Have to be honest, I live in Las Vegas and I didn't get much sleep, spent the day pretty depressed. I wasn't directly affected, it's just too close to home. But, we went out to eat as we do every Monday so I had too many calories at one meal but stayed technically in my day's calorie goal. I also walked/jogged two miles. No added sugar.
10/3: 172.0
Just OK on food, didn't go over calories. I did have added sugar: accidentally had sweetened tea and had Szechuan sauce at dinner. Got a little exercise. Tomorrow's my Monday, will try to get a solid 8 hours.
10/4: 173.0
Had too much sodium yesterday, and probably today, too. No sugar, though. Woke up at 4:00 am for no reason, I hate that. No exercise today, I'll go to bed early and try to get it together to walk to work tomorrow.
10/5: 173.5
Fine on calories, no added sugar. Stayed away from sodium today, hope I'm down a little tomorrow. It didn't even cross my mind to walk to work this am, lol, totally forgot. I did get a nice walk in during work, though, almost 2.5 miles.
10/6: 172.0
I think I shed some of that sodium but I didn't have enough water today and TOM is any time now so I might tick up again tomorrow. The thing is, I don't have the best scale and it sometimes gives me several different results when I step on/off a few times in a row. So I'm in the 172-173 range. Let's see, got some exercise, no added sugar today, calories in range.

9/30 155.0 I ate at maintenance yesterday but a solid number to start off this challenge. Today I ate a little over goal but logged everything
10/1 154.6 Today I logged and met my calorie goal tomorrow I will meet my macros. This is great accountability!
10/2 153.6 Hopefully I can hold this I would like to end this challenge staying under 154. Today my macros look good but I came up short on protein... good goal for tomorrow
10/3 153.8 If I can stay under 154 that would be awesome... Good work out this morning but a lot of candy this afternoon But there is always tomorrow
10/4 155.2 Hopefully this will be my high for this round...But today I logged accurately and met my calorie goal. So hopefully tomorrow will be better
10/5 153.8 yay Great! Ok I need to stay disciplined....I think I did ok today...we will see
10/6 No scale access this morning at the gym tomorrow I will have to see what the impact of two days of disciplined tracking I will try not to get my hopes up
10/7 154.4 still in the right area but I am greedy and want it to be lower we will see tomorrow. But I will admit this number is motivating me to meet my goals today

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has got me back on track big time!
Observations, and Previous RoundsMany events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it is coming off, bit by stubborn bit! Stick with it! The game continues!SW: 227; Lowest weight 18 Aug 2017: 159.2; Final goal weight: 147
A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

10/2 - 138.8 - I made some sensible choices today. I'm hoping this trend continues
10/3 - 138.8
10/4 - 139.2 - I'm happy that I seem to out of the 140s. I MUST make sensible choices today!

9/30 - 226.2 TOM and stress eating. I got up at 3:30 am to get my 18 yr old off to a job 15 minutes away that starts at 5. (herbalist/stoner/pot head - pick one). After doing battle for an hour it went down hill, I started eating badly from then with grilled lamb strips until 11 pm ending with 2 whole wheat buns with franks and cheese. It definitely was not pretty. Nothing I ate left me satisfied. Previously when my eating was unchecked it would be from high calorie meals and not from foraging. I didn't recognize myself. The first mistake was not drinking my cup of decaf coffee/tea. The heat early in the morning calms me until breakfast. Back to routine. I've joined the 24hr exercise challenge to motivate me for October. So at least when I wake for 3:30 Monday I can fill the time with riding my bike before work. Lemons=lemonade.
10/1 - 229 no comment
10/2 - 227.6 yesterday 1hr stationary bike. Today 1hr indoor walking - leslie sansone et al. I pull up a vid on youtube and put on techno via my phone. Any constant talking bores me. So win
win. Suffice it to say, I am definitely not fit.Lol.
10/3 - 227.6
10/4- 226.6 over ate yesterday but put in 1hr 14 min of riding and floor exercises. Not proud but coping. I want to at least reach back to 223 by the end of the round.
10/5 - 225.8 1 1/2hr walking. After some initial 'i don't wanna' coupled with sleepy legs and tight back, i did it! 3.7miles now for continuity. Back to work tomorrow.
10/6 - 225.4 So far I've done 7 hrs of exercise and personally I feel great. This is what has to be done and it will be done.

Back again!I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Ended Round 17 at 140. I'm at roughly .5 a week loss. For this round I'd like to hit the 139's and stay in the 39's or below . Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 22 pounds.
9/30 141.4 Guess who didn't exercise and who had cheesecake and wine for dinner? Going to an Oktoberfest to do today. Will be walking in fresh air.
10/1 140.8 Indulged some at a buffet yesterday but also walked around quite a bit. Today back on ellip or maybe some more walking.
10/2 140.6 Sooo tired yesterday, no exercise. Took long nap. Think it's the change of seasons, maybe allergies. gym today for sure.
10/3 140.8 Considering how I ate yesterday = reuben and caramel apple = happy with this number. Went to gym, did therapy/exercise. Today, maybe a walk in the park to enjoy this glorious weather. or ellip. Now to up exercise and get below 140.
10/4 141.6 It finally caught up. No exercise yesterday. Allergy med had me listless. Today, gym and making chicken veggie soup which always helps me eat clean and lose. Come on, 139! I'm calling to you!

10/6 141.4 Good grief! I understand I yoyo before permanently dropping but it still gets frustrating. Did an hour on ellip yesterday. I think this weight is partly salt. Give me a whoosh!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30- 197.6 - I had been steady at 199.6 for several days, before I made a post in this challange last night. 197 was my goal, so I adjusted it. Happy with this loss. Calorie intake was a tad bit over yesterday. My husband made popcorn late and I had a couple handfulls.
10/1- 199 - First day since I've started a couple weeks ago that my weight has gone up a significant amount. I know why. I ate like cheap yesterday. Homecoming shopping with my son, stopped at McDonald's and has a cheese burger, then after we dropped them off we had pizza, and I had way more than I should have. Today is a new day. Moving forward.
10/2 -199.6- Wrong direction! I ate under my goal yesterday, and increased my water intake. I think I might need to increase my fiber. Going to buy bran flakes today. Also thinking perhaps my 197.6 reading from earlier this week was a fluke.
10/3 -198- That is a better direction. Yesterday was a good day. Was under my calorie goal, increased the water. Haven't gotten to the store for more fiber rich foods, I will do that soon.
10/4- 197.4- Woohoo! I stepped on the scale 3 times to be sure. Added more fiber, ate under calories & sodium. Dinner out yesterday, but still had plenty of calories left and made wise choices. (Salad bar, veggie soup, & fruit). Glad my husband chose that place, because my head was spinning about what is order at the other places her was naming.
10/5- 196.2 - No idea how that is possible, but I Checked 3 times. I'll take it! Was under calories yesterday.
10/6-195.4- Double checked. I'm still only a couple weeks into this, so that could be why it's coming off so fast, or the fiber increase, or water weight from lower sodium. Either way I'll take it and am happy. Ate way under calories yesterday. It wasn't intentional, I just didn't have a lot of time.
10/7-196.0- This was expected. Ate fast food last night and went for the fries. Over calories for the day, but not over maintenance. It should balance out for the week, still fast food was a bad choice.

10/2 186.4 I didn't drink a lot of water and ate out this weekend. I'm hoping for a whoosh soon.
10/3 185.6 I did better yesterday with the water. I just feel better when I drink it a lot. I'm so close to 20 lbs. gone, I can taste it!
10/4. 184.4 The good thing today: I lost 20.4! The bad thing: I threw up on the way to work today. So now I'm home with a fever and nausea. I'm hoping this is just a stomach bug.
10/5 185.2 Dang it! Hoping I would stay down in the 184s. I'm feeling better today. I didn't eat a whole lot yesterday with the stomach yuckies.
10/6 184.4 Yippee! Let's see how this weekend goes.

9/30 136.6 28.8%BF Ran 4 mi and did yoga in the morning, running around all day to kid’s activities so ate out but tried to pick low carb options. Cheated on one more glass of wine for the week. Sleep not great again.
10/1 137.7 28.9% BF Ran 5 mi and did Gymnastic Bodies front split stretching routine. That is going to hurt—my plan is to do it once a week! Made a healthy smoothie for lunch.

10/4 138.9 28.8% BF Had the munchies after work yesterday because I was so tired so snacked more than I should have, yoga/strength in the morning today, walked 5K before lunch, walking a bit with XC coaching in the evening. Feel like I am coming down with a sore throat.
10/5 137.7 28.8 %BF Hosting a job candidate at work so had to squeeze a 30 min run in between meetings, out to dinner with candidate so ate a bit more than I would have normally

10/3 - 157.4 - I really love this challenge. I was skeptical about weighing every day. I've tried it before and it's never really worked for me. I would go through periods with no movement or a tick upward and I would get frustrated and go off the rails. However, this gives me accountability and support and even on Groundhog Days, a glance to the top of my post each day and taking a moment to honor my steady progress keeps me going. Thanks to all of you. I love checking in and seeing how everyone is doing each morning!
10/4 - 157.6 - And then some days I wanna toss my scale out the window.
10/5 - 158.6 - Oh for goodness sake. I literally followed my food plan exactly to the oz and worked out with my trainer, so I have no clue what this business is about. I choose to focus on my new dress for a work photo shoot that looks spectacular on me.
10/6 - 158.6 - Whatever
10/7 - 157.8 - Well crap...maybe I'll get back to where I started the round. I'm being sooooo disciplined...Gallon of water a day, exercise with trainer and on my own, and following my meal plan to a T. Awaiting the whoosh...

10/01: 172.6 It's officially October! I think I need to break out some hot apple cider. I'll totally skip pumpkin spice.
10/02 172.2 I wasn't expecting a drop of any kind today, but this thrills me to no end. Only 2 more oz. to go, and I've lost a total of 30 lbs. I CAN AND WILL DO THIS!
10/03 172.2 Steady...steady. I put in about 10,000 steps yesterday. I ate all of my calories plus 17 more before exercise.
10/04 172.6 Well, I'm up 4 oz today. I was in meetings all day, so I didn't get as many steps in. I'll get there to that 30lbs...eventually.
10/05: 172.6 Did not eat nearly enough in calories AND didn't get a lot of steps in. I also barely drank anything at all. It wasn't because I didn't want to. I simply had a lot of personal things going on. I have a tendency to not eat much when upset. I've been this way all of my life.
10/06: 172.8 It's slowly creeping back on me. I was at work until almost 7 last night. I had Taco Bell for dinner even though I did go with a healthy option, but I ate late. Not good at all.
10/07 171.6 YES!!!! DOING THE HAPPY DANCE! (I literally did one too.)I MET MY GOAL, AND I'VE LOST 30.4 LBS NOW!

10/3 165. Trying not to feel discouraged. I learned one time that I should think of my weight as a "range of numbers" rather than just one number, so 165 is now at the top of the range rather than the bottom like it was 20 days ago. Focusing on tracking, drinking my water and watching my carbs!
10/4 163.8 Trending downward. Stayed within calorie goals and watched carbs yesterday. Feeling really stressed today and trying to force myself to eat but I haven't been successful so far.
10/5 162 Pretty big drop again. Glad to be moving down but also mindful of the fact that I was way under calorie goals yesterday and worked out. Trying to make sure that I eat enough today to have more stable weight loss and not yo-yo.
10/6 164. Fluctuations feel so dramatic lately. Think it's because Im eating better but not working out enough for the #s to look conistent. Planning to increase workouts for this and next round!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 254.2 -- My new profile picture looks like Mitch McConnell. Snacked right past any deficit yesterday. Had too much salt. Sigh. Attitude adjustment needed.
10/1 255.2 -- Too much salt & “après diary” snacking. I must do further work on my head to overcome this tendency to eat late at night when no one’s watching. Who is watching anyway? This is some deep, psychological *kitten* this weight loss stuff.
10/2 254.6 -- Headed back down after the snack attack. Complete eating with supper and then don’t snack. That’s the ticket.
10/3 254.2 -- Back to where I started this challenge. Now let’s see if I can get back to the low weight of last round!
10/4 253.4 -- Did it. Back to the low weight of last round. Now let’s see how much more we can drop off before we get on the road on Saturday.
10/5 255.0 -- Self-discipline is such a fragile thing for those of us who never really practiced it. Sigh. Now I have a decision to make. Do I go back to self-control today or do I throw caution to the wind and over eat like there are no consequences. I will promise this. I will get on the scale tomorrow.
10/6 256.2 -- I got on the scale. I also ate a whole mess’o’post-diary cheese, etc. last night. We get on the road tomorrow where no nighttime snacking possible. One more trip to the scale tomorrow then off for about a week & a half.
10/7 255.8 -- Now off on the road with no scales, no kitchen, etc. See y’all when I get back and resume my better normal. It probably won’t be until early round 19. Best wishes to all!!

10/2 - 177.3 - Higher salt yesterday
10/3 - 177
10/4 - 176.3 Happier about this number. I think the 175.5 earlier was dehydration.
10/5 - 177.3 - It's interesting to watch the pattern here. Yesterday was pizza for dinner which of course means salt. I'm not surprised to see the number rise. The last couple of days I have done a lot of walking, 3-4 miles a day, so I wonder if my muscles are holding onto some water too. Time will tell!
10/6 - 175.9
10/7 - 178 - Well, that is just out there. Can't think of a reason for this to be so high. I stayed within calories and ate well. Hoping it's a last ditch effort by my body to keep my weight the same and that there's a whoosh tomorrow.

Goal: Continue to log all my food each day.
9/30 - 259.8 - Went grocery shopping last night. Got more veggies and no junk food. Let's see if I can survive the week! Last week I didn't buy any candy and after a few days, I wasn't craving it as much, so I'm keeping that up!
10/1 - 259.0 - Took my middle child out for lunch and had only protein for dinner to compensate. I was really craving junk last night but did not indulge. It paid off! Today is our weekly pizza night with the in-laws, so I'm going to try really hard not to have a gain tomorrow.
10/2 - 258.6 - Woohoo! Again, I planned my day around having pizza at night and I made sure to get a few walks in and I had a loss. Not by a lot, but usually Monday mornings means a gain of ~3 pounds. I feel like I'm really starting to get into the right mindset and it's getting easier and easier to have willpower. Not easy, mind you, but easier. Looking forward to more loss tomorrow
10/3 - 259.4 - Ugh. A gain. Less than a pound, but still. I am really seeing how important it is for my body that I walk or exercise or do something after dinner. Based on the walk I took earlier in the day and my calories, I was under. But I guess I need to make sure to add a 20 minute post-dinner walk in to my routine. Also, I didn't get much sleep, which could have been a contributing factor. Either way, I'm still under 260 and I am determined NOT to break that threshold again! Tomorrow will be a loss, I can feel it in my determination already
10/4 - 259.0 - I was right, it was a loss! Not by much, but a loss is a loss. As long as it's going in the right direction, I'm happy. Last night, I walked for about 20 minutes after dinner. This really seems to be important for me. Even though dinner was 3 pieces of leftover pizza, I had my walk and I had a loss.
10/5 - 260.2 - I am so frustrated. Yesterday was a really good day for me! I was under calories (when you consider exercise). I walked over an hour, got 11K steps, walked after dinner. The only reason I can think that it was a gain instead of a loss is that I didn't sleep very well. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of control over how much sleep I get right now (still pumping breastmilk for the baby which requires me to be up at 11 every night and 5 every morning), but the past few nights I've been waking up during my sleeping hours and just have been restless/uncomfortable. Luckily, my DH lets me get as much sleep as I need on the weekends, and I really feel like that helps. It's just really discouraging to work so hard and see a gain. I don't feel like giving up, but I do hope that tomorrow brings a nice big loss to keep me motivated. Oh, and today's my appointment with the podiatrist, so hopefully I'll find out what's wrong with my foot and a solution to fix the pain!
10/6 - 260.8 - Yesterday was a bad day. And I ate poorly for dinner. Mind you, not nearly as bad as I was eating for every meal just a few weeks ago, but not as good as I have been eating lately. I suppose I should be happy I only gained .6 pounds. I just feel so discouraged. Even though I didn't do an after dinner walk, I did still complete day 5 of a 30 day challenge. So, even though I was in a funk, I am still ahead of where I was 3 weeks ago. That's a win. Can't wait to get some sleep tonight and tomorrow! Hopefully that'll turn my mood around
10/7 - 260.8 - I suppose that's better than a gain. I didn't get quite as much sleep as I was hoping to. Tonight's the night.
