Round 33 Goal = work s.l.o.w.l.y toward new goal weight 127.0

3/9 - 129.0 - yep sick, yesterday did no workout except steps, comfort-ate at work at lunch due to stress but managed to average it out over the day. Days like this happen, and one of the gifts of THIS thread is knowing that if I just deal with it and go on, I AM FINE.
3/10 - 128.8 - feeling a little better, ran a couple miles yesterday but over calories. Have to admit the anxiety and depression is getting ahead on me right now. If it weren't for THIS 10 DAYS THREAD I might have given up and started gaining again. (get to goal, don't feel better emotionally, say eff it, gain. That's the pattern I am breaking.)
3/11 - 128.2 new low - yesterday under calories, did planks, got my steps, and did "A Workout Routine" workout A. Back is sore but that's from the garden work. Feeling more able emotionally. "Bring the body and the mind will follow."
3/12 - 128.2 - yesterday under calories, ran 2.5 miles.
3/13 - 128.8 - yesterday over calories and no workout, but I got 10 hours of sleep which after the previous 3 hours night was badly needed! Not disturbed by bounce.

3/14 - 129.2 - yesterday under calories, "A Workout Routine" B with bands, a short row, and my steps (plus got 10 flights at work). Still completely unfazed by the bounce

Feeling good, after six rounds stuck right around 156, I am finally seeing some progress. Funny, this week I haven't been able to exercise due to being wiped out from a cold, but it seems to have prompted my body to release some weight, maybe do a little reset.
03/10: 153.5

Totally, completely, and in all other ways undeserved! I straight up binged on stale, packaged sweet rolls yesterday (ugh), hardly had any water, and I haven't exercised in a week because I've been sick. I also had a soda for the first time in many months. It's like bizarro weight loss rules. I'm going to start exercising again today. Only .5 lb to the 50 lb mark!
03/13: 152.0
Hiked yesterday and went to TRX tonight. Good on calories.

Day/Weight/Comment

3/9 = 206.6 (-1.0). Good start, but this little whoosh just gets me back to zero. It officially took me 6 days to recover completely from last Saturday's 4.0 lb gain, but it finally happened. This was my normal pattern before this challenge. I need to remember how long it takes me to recover from a bad day, even a bad meal (6 days, apparently). That all being said, I'm energized. My knee feels great this morning without pain killers. I'm going to the gym tomorrow (need to rest one more day after my cortisone injection), and I'll get in my weights and my HIIT. It feels SO GOOD to be back down to zero. I'm going to destroy this weekend. No eating out. Everything planned. I might even cook. No wifey temptations, because she's in SF with her sister and friend.

3/10 = 207.8 (+1.2). LOL. Can't blame my wife for the Na+ bomb(s) I consumed yesterday. Ate within calories, but was 50% over in my salt intake. Another weird thing... it was REALLY HARD to get any water down yesterday. I ended up drinking about 100 ounces, but I had to force it down more or less, and drinking water is usually not a problem for me at all. Good news is there MAY be basketball today that I wasn't expecting (I'll find out in an hour or so). Either way I'm hitting the gym, and I'm going to make it a good day eating. Knee is still feeling good; we'll see how I feel AFTER the gym. Can missing my wife cause me to gain weight?

3/11 = 208.0 (+0.2). Basketball happened. I was more than 1300 calories below maintenance. I drank a crap load of water. The scale doesn't care! It's one weigh-in, and I'm not supposed to let one weigh-in bother me. But IT BOTHERS ME!!! And yet, as I say this, I have to acknowledge that I had 580 calories of junky sweet deliciousness yesterday, and a bunch of damned Na+. Under calories yes, but was it a healthy day? Not really. I really do miss my wife.

3/12 = 207.4 (-0.6). I did well yesterday. I ate within calories, hit my macros, had a ton of water, and was under on sodium. My dinner (that wife pre-bought) was half good, half bad (chicken with rice, but the rice was REALLY salty). For the first time in I don't know how long, I actually chose to throw away my food. I tossed 80% of my rice, and it felt great. My wife is coming home tonight. I missed her a bunch, and I learned that her being gone was not a magic weight loss elixir (which I'm actually happy about). There may be basketball again tonight; if there is I'll hit the gym, if not I'll hit the gym tomorrow.

3/13 = 208.8 (+1.4). My wife is back, and I had a cheat meal with her last night (burger from my favorite place). I was only about 200 calories over maintenance, but it's never simple when it comes to cheat meals. It was amazing, and I'm going to own it. Gym tonight, and I'm going to be do weights and HIIT. Not going to beat myself up. Plus it's only 1.4 lbs (not 4!). I'm okay. Plenty of time to turn this challenge around.

3/14 = 206.0 (-2.8). WHOOSH™. This is what keeps me coming back... knowing that this can happen at any moment, as long as I'm being accountable and generally sticking to my goals. I didn't even make it to the gym last night (raining and I ride a motorcycle). This is a new low for me since coming back to MFP, and I'm NOT going to celebrate in any way! I'll try hitting the gym again tonight (can borrow my wife's car). I also have basketball on Thursday and Saturday, so I should be able to finish off this challenge STRONG!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/09: 224.6 @ 5:15am - It is always very encouraging to start off a round with a number lower than your end weight for the previous round! Standard work day with a slightly higher step count than the rest of the week's days. Throat and energy levels are better! I've been bombarded by gift sweets, so I might veer off the beaten path some this weekend... I already started with homemade hamantaschen!

03/10: 224.4 @ 5:30am - Glad to see this be stable for now despite the small additions to yesterday's menu. This was a very active day for a Saturday, but I am pretty sure I counteracted any benefits with my dinner. I had my normal Saturday setup, but missing the Shabbat meal made me feel justified to get Indian food that I destroyed despite getting far more food in the meal than I thought I would. It didn't help that I ate that at 12AM after an involved evening. I'm hoping my lean morning will help minimize any impact.

03/11: ??? - DST had me waking up a little later, and I figured that eating so late the night before would skew my scale reading. The morning's vegan brunch was planned for, and the delicious plate was fairly compact! I'm still not sure about the sodium content, though, and an off-water schedule combined with an audible to an easy, salty, and completely off-menu dosa for dinner might not bode well for my numbers despite not feeling like a lot of food. These have been the two most undisciplined days since joining JGM10, and/but today was a great day with my SO so my perspective on this is balanced.

03/12: 228.4 @ 6:15am - Womp!! Not awesome, but I’m not too surprised by this jump given my weekend. Back on task today with a scheduled downshift to 1300 calories. Intake goals were met, 5,000+ steps were about where I’d expect for a busy workday, and the day was pretty good overall. I gifted the remainder of the weekend’s sweets to prevent any temptations, and I’ll have to be a bit more disciplined food-wise this upcoming kaizen couple’s weekend with my SO since I had so much fun this past one, lol. I’m looking forward to more progress and hitting my first goal weight before long!

03/13: 225.4 @ 6:15am– Over 10,000 steps on a non-Friday weekday! Was a pretty good day overall, with an early dinner and light snack before 8pm as the last meal. Water intake was slightly down but still at/above 80oz. My focus has to switch back to getting more sleep and getting chi gung in the mix since both of those have been off the mark. My SO is beginning to help me with prep which should make a lot of this easier- it’s a welcome change!

Female, 5'4"
Starting Weight: 135 lbs
Goal Weight: 115 lbs - Met in late 2017

I met my goal weight in late 2017. My new goal now is to stay around 115 average. Lately I've been ranging around 110-112 lbs. Since switching to a whole food plant based diet, I can't seem to stop losing weight, despite reintroducing alcohol into my diet. It's about the seemingly unimportant decisions. But consistently making them everyday is what leads to success.

Goal This Round: Maintain 115 lbs Average

3/9 • 110 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1300 cal
3/10 • 111 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1650 cal. 3 glasses of wine.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

3/9 140.5 up and down, up and down. It’s what I do. Would love to reach 139.x and continue DOWN!
3/10 142.0 Lunch At The Winery with friends and I had 1 glass of sweet wine and 1 piece of Bruschetta plus my Cobb salad. My left knee hurts again. This was a valuable “exercise” for me. Learning that that little change kicked me out of nutritional ketosis, I now know that I can’t do this at my HS reunion next month.
3/11 141.5 18 hour unplanned fast yesterday (except for BPC x 2) Maybe I’ll do it today too. I wish I had slept a few more hours!
3/12 141.0 Under on calories and macros. 21 hour fast yesterday - don’t eat if I’m not hungry.
3/13 141.5 Late dinner and I wasn’t hungry but ate anyway. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Dentist at 10am then lunch and a movie with DH.
3/14 140.5 I had a headache when I woke up and still have it. UGH. Leftovers for meals so easy prep day for me.

3/12 - 179 Thrilled. Down: 49-50, exactly 10 to go!

3/13 - 178.8. - down 25.0 lbs in 25 weeks - just what I hoped for! Down 2 lbs since 3/4 - a plateau is certainly coming!! If not an uptick lol
#SillyWeightLossPatterns!

3/14 - 178.8 Eating less the last two days & moving/exercising much more. Lots of decaf hot tea makes me feel warmer, and that seems to lead to less eating. Significantly more fish & beans, both of which I thought I’d never eat happily & by choice LOL

3/9 178.6 well I don't know where my post went from yesterday? I was posting about how happy I am to have a trend tracker, since sometimes that's the only way you can tell you are making progress. Oh well.
3/10 Didn't get a chance to weigh in this morning, ate ok yesterday but had a couple friday night cocktails with my husband. Drinking extra water before bed tonight.

3/11 179. 4 ugh
3/12 180.0 not a number I wanted to see again. Corned beef and cabbage dinner ar the in-laws probably did it. I wrote my plan for tomorrow, and drank all my water for today.
3/13 179.6 again. Sticking to my plan! Maybe the scale will be sweet to me tomorrow. No where near close to my scale goal for this round, so I'm getting my *** in gear over here.

3/14 177.8 ok, this is better. gotta stay AWAY from the 180's!!! I ate on plan yesterday, drank my water, even avoided the strong temptation of a nice bottle of cab calling to me last night. doing the same today! behind on water but that will be remedied shortly. 3.8 lbs from my 10 day goal.. we will see

3/13: 216.8
3/14: 215.6---back in the groove with cardio, strength training and WATER. When I'm not working out and sitting around idle I drink next to nothing (besides my coffee ).

9: 214... So, so hungry yesterday. Thank you ovulation! Ate at maintenance... Not that it helped me maintain though. Lol
Another hungry day today. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.
10: 212.7...I expect to keep releasing weight, sometimes the timing surprises me though. I made decent choices yesterday, but also ate back most of my exercise calories. Macros were ok, but not great. Sodium was a bit high, but I got plenty of water in me. Ended with a 254 calorie deficit. Chili cook-off for a school event tonight. I'm prelogging as best as I can, so I can work the calories and macros into my day. I'm wanting to have 1 drink, which might put me over, but I'd rather not feel like I'm depriving myself.
11: 214.2... I'm not surprised by this at all. Over calories yesterday because of the school event last night. 1 glass of wine turned to 3, and I had bread with my chili and cookies from the bake-off for dessert. I hadn't planned for that. I did win the chili cook-off though! Came home and ended up going for a walk in the neighborhood because the air felt really refreshing. It was a good night, and I feel positive and at ease around recovering from a night of relatively minor indulgences.
12: 214.1... I'm certain this would've been a bigger drop, but I ate kind of late last night and went over my calories. Plus, no exercise so I didn't have any leeway. Back to IF schedule today.
13: 211...Wowsa! I didn't expect that overnight! I essential had only one large meal yesterday though, aside from my bulletproof coffee. I didn't plan it that way, I just wasn't really hungry. I still ended up eating almost all of my 1400 calories between the coffee and 1 meal, so I guess my body is just recovering from the last few days.
14: 210.9... I was actually afraid to step on the scale today. After an out of town appointment, my kids and I decided on a whim to go see A Wrinkle in Time. Movies for me mean popcorn, which I usually plan my day around.... But we had Subway first, which lessened my popcorn intake. However, I ended up sharing soda and candy with my kids. I thought I'd be up AT LEAST a pound today, so I'm happy to see that isn't the case. Maybe because I stuck to my IF schedule? I don't know for sure though. I was definitely over my calories significantly.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/09 / 271.0 / I will be out of town for nearly all of this challenge, and without a scale in the mornings. I will track my weight for a trend line but since I will have already consumed water (and coffee) at a minimum, my weight will not have consistency. I will eat to plan.
3/10 / 270.8 / I decided to just bring my scale. Crazy, I know.
3/11 / 273.2 / I broke my diet, hard. Cheese and crackers with wine. I’m also tired of issues that arise due to dieting and am taking milk of magnesia to combat that, but only for today.
3/12 / 272.2 / Trying to shoe horn my scale into my suitcase. If I can’t, I’ll still work my plan while away.
3/13 / No Scale / Ended up not bringing my scale, but my sister in law just offered hers. YAY. I’ll weigh in tomorrow. I did all my precooked meals and got them into the freezer so I am set to work my plan despite my family’s eating habits.
3/14 / 271.0 / I am happy with the loaner scale. I can watch my trend now.

3/10 -177.8 - still no change in weight. but doing okay.
3/11 -176 - Yay! down 1.8 lbs from the last couple days. Hoping it doesn't go back up.
3/12 -177.4 Still staying under my calories and staying under 55 carbs usually even less. avg around 35
3/13 -176.8 a little loss.. I am slowly inching down. Pleased to see this.
3/14 -175.8 Another loss, very excited to see it and staying on track is getting easier. happy dance!
