So happy to have maintained last round as I was all over the place.
I have 2 weeks to my friends wedding so I would like to lose 2lbs. So my mantras are going to be
'eat that, gonna get fat' and 'eat less, move more'
09/12 - 138.4
10/12 - 138.2
11/12 - 138.0
12/12 - 137.6
13/12 - 138.0
14/12 - 137.4 I've got a shocking cough and cold at the mo. Positive - I'm not at work being tempted by all the cakes and sweets people bring in. Negative - I'm feel so dreadful that I can't do any exercise except shuffle between the kitchen and bed.
15/12 - 138.0
16/12 - 137.2
17/12 - 136.6
Feels good to be losing again. Historically I get a new low and then revert back to old habits and up the weight goes again. Bye bye new low! So I am determined to see this as an average and not just a blip.

First time here also! I am excited to see the new me someday!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09- 145 I felt the difference this morning when I woke up. My stomach shrank a bit...Yay!!!
12/10-144
12/11-144 looking so forward to losing my pouch
12/12-145 must be that I gained muscle, because I have stuck to diet and exercise...including lifting weights
12/13-145 hanging in there....still doing my 30 day Shred, sticking to my low carb diet and decreasing alcohol.
12/14-145 hopefully I will see a 144 or 143 soon. Patience is a virtue.
12/15-146 oh dear, I did everything right and didn't even have any wine. I did the 30 day Shred later in the afternoon...The only things I did different is drink more diet soda, no alcohol, and woke up at 2 this morning. I am discouraged because I actually felt slimmer this morning...oh well, I will keep on keeping on and have my focus and faith. I will stay determined and end the day knowing I did my best.
12/15 145 at 7:30 am....after yogurt and coffee. I guess I lost a lb in a few hours. I too the first weight at 3:30 am.
12/16 143 YAY! finally!
12/17 144 I am tottering. For dinner I had a Morningstar meal that had a bit more carbs...Japanese Soba Noodles....Too many carbs for me...pretty tasty, but too many carbs...I think that is why I gained...
12/183 -
My goal is to reach 10% body fat by year end... actually by 12/30 because that is when my Dexa is scheduled. I'm going to list weight and BF% based on my scale, which is going to fluctuate at times as diet changes. On some days - and I know when those are based on diet - it will be inaccurate.
Round 22:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/9 - 149.6 lbs. - 16.8% - scale is reading higher than actual BF%
11/10 - 148.4 lbs. - 15.9% - scale is still higher than actual BF%, but getting closer to actual
11/11 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.9% - scale is higher than actual BF%, this time not expected
11/12 - 148.6 - 16.8% - scale is still showing higher than actual BF%, still not entirely expected. I have a theory as to what is driving the incorrectly high BF%.
11/13 - 148.6 lbs. - 18.5% - Yesterday was a re-feed / glycogen replenishment day. I'm surprised weight did not also increase, but expected BF% to be unreliable. I expect it to remain that way for the next 2-3 days.
11/14 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.4% - Depending on whether I eat a lot of fibrous green vegetables today, BF% will either stay pretty stable by tomorrow morning or will decrease. I may find it hard to feel full without lettuce or green beans... but since scale BF% is just artificially high if I eat them and real BF% is not truly much different, I'm probably going to eat greens if I'm hungry anyway.
11/15 - 146.4 - 15.6% - No veg yesterday, scale is closer to a correct BF%.
11/16 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9% - No veg yesterday again, and BF% is almost right where I would expect Dexa to come up. The idea that eating low carb green / fibrous veggies would affect the scale BF% so much is a relatively new revelation. Thinking back, the last Dexa was 0.3% lower than the scale on that same day (that is extremely close); and my scale is ALWAYS higher than any other measurement method or device - including other bio-electric impedance devices, which are always super low. When that last Dexa was taken and it was almost the same as the scale, I had not eaten plants for 45 days prior (except coffee, tea, and small quantities of seasonings and sauces). I still plan to eat some low carb (net carb) fibrous veggies while I continue to strive for 10% BF by 12/30, but will do take breaks occasionally to get a better idea of where Dexa will come in.
11/17 - 147.8 lbs. - 13.9% - Slight weight increase, not sure why... probably water weight. Another day without veg and BF% is spot on as close as I'm going to get to being real. Tomorrow is going to be high again based on today's planned diet.
11/18- 146.0 lbs. - 15.4% - Did not expect weight to decrease, but expected reported BF% to rise.
Round 23:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/19 - 145.8 lbs. - 13.5% - Did not expect BF% to drop this much this fast.
11/20 - 147.6 lbs. - 16.2% - Both increases were expected based on yesterday's food plan. Should see decrease over the next few days until Fri. morning, which will go back up again.
11/21 - 147.0 lbs. - 15.7% - Expected a small decrease. Expect another small decrease tomorrow.
11/22 - 146.6 lbs. - 15.3%
11/23 - 145.6 lbs. - 14.8% - Will be higher tomorrow.
11/24 - 147.2 lbs. - 14.4% - Did not expect BF to decrease, but maybe that is delayed...
11/25 - 145.8 lbs. - 15.2% - There is the delayed fat storage.
11/26 - 145.2 lbs. - 15.7% - Did not expect another rise in BF%, but I can only assume it is continued delayed fat build. Tomorrow will be higher probably of both weight and BF.
11/27 - 146.4 lbs. - 17.0% - Increases expected.
11/28 - 150.4 lbs. - 14.6% - Had a spontaneous free meal yesterday and paying for it with weight gain - meal itself was probably around 4-5 lbs., including water in food... so this is about right.
Round 24:11/29 - 149.4 lbs. - 14.9% - For this round, I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not sure exactly what to expect at the beginning, but should have lower BF% by the end of the 10 days.
11/30 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9%
12/1 - 144.4 lbs. - 14.7%
12/2 - 144.8 lbs. - 13.3% - I'm thinking this is about right again for BF%, but let's see if that holds for the next few days without changes that affect the scale calculation.
12/3 - 142.2 lbs. - 16.1% - BF definitely reading too high, but not sure why this time.
12/4 - 143.2 lbs. - 16.2% - Definitely unexpected BF... consistent with yesterday, but still incorrectly high. Unsure why.
12/5 - 140.4 lbs. - 14.9% - Some time in the bathroom this morning revealed what I think is causing the suddenly abnormally high BF% (no, not pregnant, lol). Solved part of the issue this morning, but still some to go.
12/6 - 140.2 lbs. - 12.9% - Before measuring today, spent a bit more time in the bathroom getting rid of more of what is causing the false high BF% readings.
12/7 - 141.4 lbs. - 13.1%
12/8 - 139.8 lbs. - 13.5% - I was expecting to start this round with some wonky numbers; but end up close to accurate and drastically improved weight and body fat %. Ended up losing 10.6 lbs.; about 3-4 lbs. of which was fat. I struggled in the first couple years of dieting where tracking calories didn't work and nobody could figure out why; but much learning and experimentation and I consider myself to know my body very well now and can call myself a very advanced dieter. That said, the 10% body fat goal by 12/30 is still going to be very difficult and a tight goal... but I believe it is possible.
*Next round will once again start with some high and wonky numbers at first and end up drastically better by the end.
This round should start with some high and wonky numbers, but should be drastically better by the end.
12/9 - 139.4 lbs. - 13.9% - Surprised it isn't higher, but might catch up.
12/10 - 150.0 lbs. - 13.3% - Weight has caught up, body fat should increase soon, I would expect.
12/11 - 149.6 lbs. - 10.9% - Not sure I believe the BF%; so let's see what happens. I expected it to increase along with weight.
12/12 - 147.4 lbs. - 11.0% - Surprised BF is remaining... eventually, perhaps I'll start figuring it is correct.
12/13 - 145.8 lbs. - 11.2%
12/14 - 143.4 lbs - 11.2% - Looks like consistency on BF%.
12/15 - 141.6 lbs. - 12.6% - This is what I get for eating salad yesterday... an inflated BF% result. I know it isn't real, but still gets to me.
12/16 - 141.6 lbs. - 11.9% BF.
12/17 - 143.2 lbs. - 11.0%
12/18 -5 -
R24 SW 191.4
R25 SW 190.6
R25 Goal <189.0
For this round I'm going to try to keep every day consistent. Could be a bit tricky with so much on the go this time of year, but its a lifestyle change I've got to make.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/09. 189.4. Good start
12/10. 189.6. After a Saturday night involving chili, garlic bread and a good zin, I’m really pleased. Maybe there is something to this moderation thing after all.
12/11. 190.4. Not bad for a Monday morning. Should be able to do better on week days.
12/12. 189.0. Now to really keep it in check for the rest of the weekdays
12/13. 188.8. I really like the look of the scale today, three snowmen! Going to do my best to keep it around here for the rest of the round.
12/14. 188.6. It’s looking like losing a little every day shouldn’t be a big problem, the problem will be cutting out the days when I stuff on a lot.
12/15 188.0 Great, but there is a bit of a problem. When I tracked on my own, I'd go Friday-Friday. The way this cycle works out this time, I'm aiming for a good weight on Monday and weekends can be trouble. Before I'd be able to indulge on the weekends then spend all week struggling to get down to where I was the previous Friday. Oh well, just have to chose wisely which temptations I give into over the next few days!
12/16. 190.4. Not unexpected. My son and fiancé got in from university for the holidays on an evening flight so pizza and wine later than I usually eat. No regrets, try to stay on schedule today and tomorrow.
12/17. 189.6. Just to be able to stay in this range is a bit of a victory.

Historical SW: 193
Recent SW: 187.6
R25 SW: 181.8
Goal for this round: break into the 170's (including the Christmas madness that is about to ensue)
12/09: 181.8
12/10: 180.8 Ate out two meals yesterday and still managed to stay under calories. 14K steps helped!
12/11: 180.0 Had to make myself go from 7500 steps to 11K in the cold, after dark, but I did it!
12/12: 180.6 I was hungry all day yesterday, so I ate some of my exercise calories and drank lots of water which is something I may need to start doing. 10K steps
12/13: 180.4 Need to MAKE time for working out but it’s such a busy time! Wasn’t hungry at all today, so I don’t know why I felt like I was starving yesterday. Hoping for the gym tonight. Buying new clothes is fun though! :-)
12/14: 179.0 WooHoo!!! Had a great day yesterday, even experimented with a Christmas recipe using turkey meatballs instead of beef. Went to the gym and got in 14K steps. Success!
12/15: 178.6 Party tonight so I’m up early and headed to the gym this morning.
12/16: 182.2 Well, I knew it would be bad after the party. Too much Prosecco punch in addition to all the foods that I haven’t eaten in forever. Going to work hard today and tomorrow to see how much I can get back off by Monday. Fingers crossed! (On a NSV note: wore leather-look pants and long, sparkly sweater to the party. Friends were "shocked" at how "skinny" I looked. I know they were being nice, but it made me feel good anyway!)
12/17: 180.4 Lost exactly half of what I gained from the party! Walked the neighborhood during the warm part of the day, went to the gym after dinner for rowing, arctrainer (strength), and treadmill for almost an hour. Super careful with the "food in” yesterday too and was way under calories for the day. Tried a new Skinnytaste recipe last night (Shepherd’s Pie), and hubby and I both really liked it. Hopefully I can lose enough today to get back into the 170s, which was my goal for this round.

I'm back, and I can hear Mom in my head telling me that she knows how hard it is to lose weight and not to lose too much because being healthy is important too. She was always a worrier. I'm going to keep at it for her. She'd want me to.
SW: 202lbs
UGW: 125 lbs
GW: 163.6 - 164
12/09 164.6 *fingers crossed that I stay at the lower end of the 60s* Had my niece and nephew over to spend the night, and I started working on progress reports. I didn't get as much fluids in, and I can tell. I feel like my mouth is dry this morning.
12/10 164.4 My sister-in-law and I took our 4 kiddos out for breakfast with Santa. Then, we went with my parents to dinner, to see Winterland (1 million Christmas lights display), and finally the tree at Monument Circle. They had hot cocoa (I refrained), and we joined a street performer for some Christmas carols. Thought of Mom and how she would have liked to join us. She's in my thoughts daily.
12/11 164.4 I love to bake over Christmas. Don't most of us? So, I started my treats last night. Sugar free, Pineapple Whip. I went for a healthy option.
12/12 165.4? I have absolutely no clue. Maybe due to the amount of steps I took. I drank a lot of fluids, and I ate under calorie which I haven't been doing.
12/13 164.4 Back to where I was. Whew! Lol I spent the day running errands AFTER I left work and came home to find a surprise here at the house. It was the lighthouse ornament we ordered. Mom loved lighthouses, so we bought the Hallmark 2017 one in her honor as a way to remember her on our first Christmas without her.
12/14 164.2 I stayed late lasy night at work. All of us teachers were making caramels for a cookie tray. Then, I went to my son's band concert. He plays tenor sax, and he had a part all by himself. He did beautifully.
12/15 164.4 A foundation and crawlspace repair company is at our house today and was yesterday. My husband and I also took our oldest son on a walkthrough of a different school district. There's a HUGE problem with the school he is currently in with bullying, and we have been considering our options.
12/16 163.6 I don't know what to say really, but YIPPEE! I hope it sticks, and it was nice to see this number. NEW LOW...REACHED GOAL!
12/17 165.2 I finished my Christmas shopping! Yay!!! I know there's been a HUGE jump today, and I'm okay with that. I went out to eat last night at a local Mexican restaurant, and I could tell their salsa had WAY TOO MUCH salt; however, I don't treat myself off my diet very often, so I did. I'm sure it'll go back down in a few days. I'm okay with this.

Starting weight – 230
Round 25 – Starting weight 218.4
I have not quit so that is half of the battle!!!! It is Sunday and I just hope I am no more than .5 up at the end of this challenge - I can do better and I WILL!!!!!
12/9 – 219.4 – I hate Fridays and Weekends – you know its going to be bad!
12/10 – 221.4 – Thank god it is Sunday and I can start getting back on plan!! Somehow, I have to be better on weekends.
12/11 – 220.8 – well going in the right direction again is a good thing – back at it today and keeping on the correct eating path!!! I don’t think I will make my goal of 215 this week 10 day period.
12/13 – 219.6 – Still playing catch up – man I can and will NEVER have a weekend like last weekend. I will never gain 3 pounds in a weekend again!!!
12/14 – 219.6 – frustrated with myself! I can do this I know I can, but DANG IT, I am frustrated with me! Why do I give up so soon. I will NOT give up on me for once. I can and will show you I can do this!
12/15 218.4 – HAPPY DANCE DAY – finally almost a week later I am at my starting weight and the weekend is coming – OH KNOWWWWWW – but guess what – even though I have a Christmas party tomorrow night I WILL not over due it this weekend! I WILL NOT have a 3 pound gain again and start over on Monday. I will do this weekend right!!
12/16 – 220.8 – well once again I have gained an obscene amount of weight over the weekend and so now I need to figure out how to get my act together so I don’t keep gaining weight on weekend. Good golly what am I going to do when I have 5 days off ☹
12/17 – 219.8 – So I wont be back to 218.4 but I will take this number if I can just keep my eating under control and exercise a bit more! Even house cleaning will count today. I have logged 1700 steps so far and my plan is 15000 to counter act the extra calories you know I will eat ☹ My standing desk arrives on the 22nd and I cant wait to get it set up at work.

I have around 4 -6 weeks to wait to see a physio and around 35 weeks till I get to see a spinal specialist ... yay for long waits while in pain!
09/12 - 192.6 - had a little relief from my pain, so I done some xmas cleaning (something I am having real difficulty with at the moment, bending and stretching is the worst) after 1 hour I was laid up for the rest of the night in agony, had to sit in an upright position for any relief. looks like my house won't be clean for Santa!
10/12 - 192.4 - went out for a walk today at the xmas German market in town, still walking slowly but I get there in the end!
11/12 - 192.6 - 5 miles on the stat bike and calories higher than I intended -- i can still easily pull them back by average thou.
12/12 - 192.6 - lots of strength exercises today with some flex and cardio .. 2 1/2 hours total, im still in pain. so everything is modified ... the pain got worse later on at night ( due to pushing myself, i guess) so i went to bed and read a book ... and fell asleep early

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds but haven't lost in a couple of months. I am aiming to reach goal of 139 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/8... 140.6
12/09...139.6 Did a very energetic pool class yesterday that was so much fun. Today, another. Aiming to stay below 140 this round.
12/10... 141, well pshaw! Did another energetic pool class yesterday, ate within cal limits and finished eating early. What's up with this?Today, Asian food out (hello sodium), ellip and touring historic home. Come on 139!
12/11...142.4 Ate sushi yesterday=lots of carbs from white rice and sodium but so good. Hoping to see this go back down some after today. Gonna do some exercise... not awake enough to plan what.
12/12...141.4 Drank wine last night but ate within goals. Need to get some exercise today
12/13...141.4 More wine! 'Tis the season. I fear I have become too comfortable about this weight - feel better and clothes fit better and that is why I've not been really working to lose. Allowing myself too many treats. That, and I'm cooking way more for others and not for myself since my son and grandson moved in with me. I need to get my attitude adjusted as I'm only 2/3's of the way to my goal and have been here for months.
12/14...141.8 Just not getting exercise last few days. Today, elliptical!
12/15..141.8 Gotten so lazy where exercise is concerned. So tired lately.
12/16...141.6 Down a little. Still not exercising. Not feeling well today. Stomach kinda achy. This too shall pass.
12/17.. 142.2 Went out with the girls and had an alcoholic milkshake and it was yum. Now I know what it is and I believe I can live happily if I never have another. Today exercise and lemon water.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 100
- would it really be too much to ask for a little less this morning? I truly didn't want to see this number. I went over my steps yesterday but didn't have time to eat enough. I even ate right before bed to get some extra calories in... but once Fitbit had calculated my steps, I was still very much lacking calorie-wise. OK went back in edit mode - I lost 400 grams (almost a pound), so I'll shut it!
12/10 - 100.8 - ok 800g overnight (1.6lbs) - day entailed too many carbs, drank my water, hit my calories though! With Italian dinner, birthday cake, etc. The problem being today is just the same with another birthday to celebrate. Oh well that’s life I guess... I have a week to compensate. I’ll end with a very positive note though, as I’m am officially overweight
12/11 - 102.6
- I hyperventilated seeing this number (5.7lbs in 2 days), but as there is NO way I ate that much, I'll say it's the sodium, water retention etc. I have a week to redress the situation!
12/12 - 101.8 - I always wonder how long it takes to reset the water retention balance... obviously it's not overnight, but what 2? 3 days? It's definitely something to take into account when you don't weigh in daily!
12/13 - 101.2 - i didn't succumb to the gingerbread cookies, but woke up (very early) so hungry! that rarely happens to me
12/14 - 100.4 - All I can say is that I do not understand my body! Yesterday I woke up hungry at 4 a.m. and my day was just one complete food fest. I ate my planned calories, I ate my added Fitbit calories, I ate so many gingerbread cookies I feel I made up for the day before's efforts... I ate chickpea chips (100g) full-on fat and carbs and chocolate. I drank about 6l of water throughout the day and I lost over a pound?
There are some days I'm so good and I feel I don't deserve the (STS or gain) numbers on the scale - but today I was afraid of stepping on the scale and it did not reflect yesterday, I also feel I don't deserve these (positive) numbers
12/15 - 99.8
- and this right before the weekend! Note to self - keep out of the cookie jar!
12/16 - 100 - And a bounce back up... Not enough sleep, way too much sodium, pizza involved -it's OK as long as I tread carefully this weekend and THAT my friends is not a given!
12/17 - 100.2 - My post disappeared ugh! long story short, yesterday was pizza AGAIN. Drank plenty. Hit my cals more or less - just the fat was sky high. I'm really being very careful today though

Don't know what's going on! Eating within calories; exercising! Need to drink more water! My back has been hurting all week, maybe inflammation?? No matter; persistence is the key! Something's got to give, and it won't be me!
12/11: 215.5
Water and inflammation! I haven't really been working out like I should since my back has been hurting; now it's spreading into my hips and legs! Really don't want to make a doctor's appointment because I have one with the urologist on the 19th. Had one with the Gastrologist (sp) today, but I didn't make it! Tired!
12/12: 214.6

Haven't been exercising this week because of back pain radiating down into my hips and legs! Been taking muscle relaxers and pain meds; also wearing back brace. Need to make doctor appt. but I already have one with the urologist next week, so I'll have to wait until after Christmas. Been drinking more water and watching what I eat! I'll be out of town for the next 3 days, but I still intend on making my goal this round! Onward and downward!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 191 - My strict week before holidays paid off in a new low. I don't know how it'll hold after tonight.
12/10 - 190.8 - This is completely unexpected. I'll take it. We had such a big dinner at the party last night I assumed it'd be pure bloat today.
12/11 - 190.8 - Holding after the weekend.
12/12 - 190.4 - More parties today. Got an appointment with a personal trainer.
12/13 - 190.6 - Kind of tired and feeling bleh yesterday so I got really lax.
12/14 - 190 - Stricter with myself yesterday despite another party.
12/15 - 189.8 - My willpower is starting to feel tired so I'm a little worried about this weekend
12/16 - 189.4 - ha ha, my last big Christmas party was a total joke. The food ran out within the first half hour and the decorations and "games" were pretty sad. I left early to go for a walk.
12/17 - 189 - on one hand I'm glad. On the other I'm afraid this means my body is consuming its muscle too fast.

12/14 - 153.6 ... Well I ate and had lots of salt. Kinda sad that this in my lowest weight in years and it's because I have been sick. Can't really celebrate it and it should bounce right up in a couple of days I'm sure. Great seeing 70 lbs lost.

I haven't really been setting weight goals for the last few because I was struggling, but I think I will for this one. I want to end in the teens. I'm hoping to end at 219. Let's do this!
Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 219.8 I really don't believe this. There is no way I have lost 1.1 lbs in a day! However, for today l will take it! Date night with the husband, so we will see what tomorrow brings!
12/10 219.8 This is crazy! I'm still struggling to believe this is my actual weight. Pushed a lot of water yesterday, it's been very dry here so that is making it easier. Doing some Christmas shopping today!
12/11 221.1 Totally understand where this came from. Panera pastries, not enough water, and to much salt! I love my husband dearly, but I tend to eat like he does when we are out and about, and that's not good for me! I need to get better at that. Today, I plan on doing some grocery shopping, getting at least 30 mins of exercise, and drinking at least 2 liters of water.
12/12 221.1 Only did five mins of exercise yesterday, and didn't drink enough water. Today will be better.
12/13 220.0 better! Ready to make this go down further! More water, and at least 30 mins of exercise today!
12/14 218.5 Bam! Water-drinking is paying off! Also been moving more, although very little actual "exercise" in the last couple days. I plan to actually exercise today and continue to drink lots of water.
12/15 218.5 Yay! Still here! Moving into the weekend, so I need to be diligent about making healthy choices and definitely need to exercise! Maintaining the water drinking as well!
12/16 218.5 Did ok yesterday. Eating enough was an issue, which isn't normal for me! Today I'm traveling to see my niece's ice skating event, so I really need to make smart choices where eating is concerned. Also since I'll be in the car for four hours and seated for another 3 at the event, I HAVE to exercise when I get home tonight.
12/17 218.5
If I can just stay here for one more day, I can call this round a success! I can do this! Lots of water and movement today. :S

12/09 - 144.2 hopefully I can hold onto this over the next few days. Today will be interesting, potluck lunch and pub Christmas party for dinner. At least there will be lots of movement with the dog competition we are going to.
12/10 - 143.2 might be a false blip but I’ll take it for now Didn’t end up logging the potluck it just became too complicated with a little bit of this and that but I think I did alright with a light plate and then I chose a single dessert to treat myself and try. Then at the pub I really didn’t want to derail things so I chose to drive and have a club soda and chicken Caesar salad so I think I did alright. More dog competition today and another potluck lunch so hopefully I can keep it up.
12/11 - 143.2 very happy with this number. After the weekend of two potlucks and a pub evening Christmas party I feel like I managed to mostly keep it together. Took the same approach to the potluck I did on Sunday and went with the small plate and chose 1 treat to sample. Hoping to keep it up.
12/12 - 143.2 ended up doing drive through for dinner which was a mistake. Normally when that happens I skip the fries and I’m usually pretty good but I thought last night I would eat them. OMG they were so salty and I didn’t stop until 3/4 of the way through. Ugh the busy holiday season is making meals a bit tough. Keep pushing for the healthy or at least reasonable choices though.
12/13 - 143.0 headed in the right direction. Gotta keep it together with this crazy holiday season wind up. Still so much to do yet.
12/14 - 142.4 um ok? Yesterday was busy, went to the gym and then dog class. I didn’t eat a whole of dinner since it was kind of a flop so I threw most of it out and I ended up doing some baking tasting Christmas party dinner tonight so that’s definitely going to put me over daily calories.
12/15 143.6 yeah yesterday wasn’t great. I wasn’t organized ahead of time and ended up having to purchase a salad for lunch then definitely over ate hugely at the Christmas party dinner. It was a sit down meal so tough to really portion control unfortunately. But as long as every day isn’t like that the trend should continue which is the main thing.
12/16 - 143.0 did some power shopping yesterday. Struggling a bit with logging all my foods with the holiday season and haven’t made time to go the grocery store to refill the veggie drawer so I need to carve out some time for that so I can keep on track with the crazy Christmas holiday meals that are around.
12/17 - 143.6 uh oh, paying for the sins of the over indulgence at the Christmas party last night. Should be able to keep it together today though as it’s a get organized for Christmas Day today.

12/10: 159.4 Ordered the oatmeal with bananas and walnuts. Was craving my SIL's beef stroganoff recipe last night, so made it with low sodium broth and the no yolks pasta... delicious! Three holiday get togethers today. Must stay disciplined.
12/11: 159.3 Gym has been closed for renovations since the 7th. Back open on Wednesday. I miss my running!
12/12: 158.9 Hubs texted me last night... gym WAS open! I am finished with the C25K and moving on to 10K. Did 4 miles last night. Helped me with my work stress. Company party was this afternoon. A little too much wine, but limited myself to one plate of food.
12/13: 158.8
12/14: 159 couldn't complete my run last night... just did not have the energy. Today I have been hungry. Ate out at lunch, and nibbled on sugary holiday treats from vendors at work. I am trying to get up the energy to work out now, but am cozy by the Christmas tree...
12/15: 158.8 Thankful for the elliptical in the garage last night. Did 30 minutes and then took the dog out for a walk... it was freezing! I feel like a cold is coming on today, so drinking the water and emergen-c.
12/16: 159.4 Oh snap. Am not feeling well at all today; have tried to bake and nothing is turning out right. Losing my patience with my teenage children today. Think it might be TOM, but who knows; it's never predictable these days. I didn't work out yesterday and have not today... just want to crawl into bed...
12/17: 158.7 Okay. Time to reset. Yesterday was a pretty high carb day with the testing of failed holiday treats and a caroling party... did not feel like eating much, but what I did eat was lacking in nutrients. Time to clean the fridge and set myself up for a better week, food-wise.4 -

"Don't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do." - Orebela Gbenga
Start 10/18/2017 = 147.9 * Goal = 130.0 and 20 miles/weekR22 * Start = 143.4 * Ave = 141.9 * Min = 140.2 * End = 141.2R25 * Start = 136.6 * GOAL: 135.0 by 12/25 - so for the end of this round, 136.0 as a high weight.
R23 * Start = 142.0 * Ave = 140.1 * Min = 139.4 * End = 139.6
R24 * Start = 140.0 * Ave = 138.6 * Min = 137.0 * End = 137.0
12/9 - 136.6 - Yesterday well under calories, 29 minute run.
12/10 - 136.2 - Yesterday under maintenance calories but not under daily goal, no workout, to bed at 7PM. Felt depleted and borderline sick. Drinking extra water today and feel much better, planning on a run.
12/11 - 137.0 - expected this bounceback. Ran 5.5 miles yesterday, under calories for goal but ate well.
Having this "135 by 12/25" goal led to me being too far under calories Thursday and Friday, and totally bonking out on Saturday. Counterproductive! I am all about the system, not the goal, and I have to return to that system and "let" the goal happen, instead of trying to "make" it happen.
12/12 - 138.2 and deserved. Gross headache all yesterday, came home sick, ate for "comfort" and kinda, yeah, couldn't summon the "give a *kitten*" to stop. I did go to the gym and walk gingerly on the treadmill for 3.5 miles. But still over maintenance by a bit.
12/13 - 137.4 - ate right at calories for slow loss yesterday, no workout (planned due to schedule). Feeling better but still a little knocked-down. Looking forward to a nice workout today for stress relief.
12/14 - 137.4 - ate under calorie goal yesterday and got a kick *kitten* workout. Still pretty anxious and stressed though so let's do that again.
12/15 - 137.2 - ate about 50 calories over goal yesterday and no workout.
12/16 - 137.2 - under calorie goal yesterday, ran and walked 2.8 miles, a few issues with left knee but it will be fine. FINE, I say.
12/17 - 136.8 - under calorie goal yesterday, only ate one of the Christmas cookies I baked, ran 2.5 miles, knee is fine.

Enough. I'm off this afternoon to check out a gym - no more weather excuses for lack of exercise. And I've been lax about my eating, so seriously getting back on track and hitting the macros hard - 30P/30F/40C. We will be moving across the country in late February, and I want 10 pounds less of me by then. That's 10 weeks from now, so a pound a week, so 1.4 per 10-day round (assuming they'll be continuing in 2018, I hope?!?) I'm down a little from R15, but really, pretty stable over many weeks, so my metabolism is fine and this should be doable if I stick to the plan.
12/10 - 149
Back on track yesterday. Nothing showing on the scale, but I feel lighter, if that makes any sense.
12/11 - 149
Oh, for heaven's sake. It's like fat has superglue.
12/12 - 149.2
OK, now I'm really getting frustrated. The only thing different yesterday was that I was a bit heavier than usual on carbs (whole grain). I have been lower fat, higher protein & carbs than usual the past few days. I wonder whether that could make the difference? So disappointing!
12/13 - 148.8
Finally. Now to continue....
12/14 - 148.8
Sooooo sloooowwwww. Sigh.
12/15 - 149
I had a bit of a splurge last night, so ok. I've revised my goals based on reality rather than wishes.
12/16 - 149
Maybe my goal adjustment yesterday wasn't based on quite enough reality. I did have some extra calories last night - a bag of Harry & David's mixed nuts. Why oh why do they put two servings in one little bag that I had no way to secure half-way through? :-) Oh, well. I guess holding the line through the holidays is a good thing. Thinking of lowering my carbs, but not until after Christmas.
12/17 - 148.2
Whoa! Finally! Maybe I'll hit my goal for the round after all.
