    I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

    Change in focus. In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.

    New Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs.
    I was ill most of Round 22, but achieved my goal.

    Of course, losing a pound a Round would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.

    pretty-pink-welcome-smiley-emoticon.gif to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.

    Observations, and Previous Rounds
    Many 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 does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you stick with it! The game continues!

    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.
    Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
    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!

    Pregnant & gaining. Goals: hydration, vitamins, balanced macros, toning exercise daily. Honour my authentic self. Starting R23 @ 4 weeks into second trimester.

    R19 SW 158.9
    R20 SW 156.2
    R21 SW 162
    R22 SW 159.5
    R23 SW 164.9

    11/19 I overdid it yesterday and the expected hobbling pain came and I still hustled around moving boxes and furniture. I bought a candy apple based on the memory of enjoying them, but honestly, I only really enjoyed the green apple part. So I have added a new goal to this round: honour my authentic self. I am the girl who likes the green apple & I don’t need to eat/do/act in ways that do not align with who I am.
    11/20 164.9 Healthy groceries shop, lots of greens in dinner.
    11/21 163.4 Was in a rush and ordered pizza, then the snowmeggedon hit and I couldn’t attend my event anyway. Ate my bagged lunch- the avocado really paid off and kept me going. Dog walk was good until I overdid it.
    11/22 came home with scary low blood sugar, ate rice crispies, milk and popcorn. Then when was feeling normal went about my evening and completely forgot to eat dinner. At least I was hydrated. Moved furniture into the new closet.
    11/23 164.4 dinner was cereal and a protein shake, but lunch was super healthy. Had a nice long hobble walk with the fluffy pants.
    11/24 165 just yesterday I was wondering if my lack of appetite was depression starting, and today it was definitely obvious. Hormones? No sunlight? Can’t really tell this year. All food is starting to taste gross. I just want to eat apples and cottage cheese. Maybe I’ll put myself on a plain meal plan, repetitive & nutritious.

    R21 SW= 227.7 lbs
    R21 EW= 225.3 lbs
    R22 EW= 225.8 lbs


    R23
    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/19= 223.8 lbs- Well, too bad this wasn't yesterday. I could have had a loss for the last round. Pretty happy to see this drop though! Now...to keep this number through Thanksgiving...that's my goal. Losing would be great, but I'll be happy to stay right here for the next 10 days as long as I don't gain.
    11/20= 225.3- I didn't stay where I wanted but I'm still less than R22 EW.
    11/21= Forgot to weigh before I ate breakfast, so I just didn't weigh in.
    11/22= 225.3- Still holding; really hope I don't go up too much because of Thanksgiving dinner and leftovers. I'm planning to have seriously moderate portions, skip the rolls, and only one small slice of pie for dessert. Leftovers will be only for meals, not random eating anytime, and will not be an entire plateful. :)
    11/23=224.1- Glad to have this drop today. Haven't eaten breakfast. Hoping to hold out til the big lunch at 2:00, but we'll see. That might make me too hungry to resist eating too much. Will check in tomorrow to update.
    11/24=223.7- This is a great number. Did well yesterday and didn't overeat. Leftovers still for a couple of days though, so I have to keep in control of those portions.
    11/25=225.8- Well, I knew last night that this number was coming. I'm drinking tons of water today to flush out the sodium. I added up my numbers for Thursday and Friday- total calories I went over is 1585, which isn't terrible for two days. Total sodium, however, was more than 5000 over. Hopefully, that's what the weight is from and drinking water will help it drop back down.

    11/19 - 241.0 - Yesterday wasn't a great exercise day, but today will be better.
    11/20 - 242.6 - I have been totally out of control this past week. Really trying to get my stuff together and get back on track this week. Thanksgiving will make it tricky, but I've decided I need something to work toward, so I'm researching 5k races. Tomorrow WILL be better.
    11/21 - 239.4 - Back on track! And that marks 30 pounds since 9/12/17! TOM may mess things up, but I'm going to have another good day today!!
    11/22 - 239.2 - Was hoping for more loss, but I'll take it!
    11/23 - 239.4 - Hoping I can try to stay on track today!
    11/24 - 242.0 - Ugh, Thanksgiving. The next few days are going to get worse before they get better
    11/25 - 244.2 - Told myself I wasn't going to worry about food or exercise this weekend. I'm going to regret it come Monday...
