03/09 = 159.4 First day of Spring Break! Hope to get in lots of exercise over the next 10 days!
03/10 = 160.2 Vacation food and drink. Splurged on a shrimp dip that was amazing.
03/11 = 161.2 Well, I expected yesterday morning’s “up”, but not this one. I worked hard yesterday, riding my bike 10 miles and walking 4 miles and getting 21K steps for the day. Ate well within limits. I guess this is still carry over from Friday’s splurge. Gotta get this back down! But I’m up early to ride before the rain comes.
03/12 = 162.4 Ok, this $%*#@ has got to STOP!!! I rode my bike 12.72 miles yesterday morning before the Island Way Grill Brunch Buffet (which was wonderful) then hiked 5 miles along the Hillsborough River. I ended up with 22K steps for the day. There is NO way I’ve eaten 10K calories over maintenance in the last three days, but here we are. Gonna push water and cook my own meals today and see what happens. Come on, body, get your act together!

Goals for this round: staying in the green, drinking 1/2 my weight in oz, and exercise at least 5x a week.

3/8 - 238.8
3/9 - 239.8 (+1.0 lb) --- This was expected given yesterdays' snack attack. Let's just say there was a box of Fiber One Lemon Bars that is no longer around. I know better than to keep snack packs at work! Excited for today and to start this during the weekend. I hope it will bring some motivation!
3/10- 239.2 (-0.6 lbs) --- Step in the right direction! Though I didn't drink that much water I did try to eat clean for the majority of the day. Dinner was some french fries and a few drinks so I'm hoping this will go down a bit more soon. I have a busy day so not much time for activity but we'll see if I can fit some in!
3/11- 237.4 (-1.8 lbs) --- Well alright. I'll take it. Grocery shopping today, going to meal prep lunches/dinner for the week. Glad to see the scale heading down some more
3/12- 337.9 (+0.5 lbs) --- Little gain, blaming it on the weekend and little to no activity. I am ready for success this week!

3/9 (Friday) - 219 - Yesterday I was 217.6. So, let the water weight games begin. Lol

3/10 (Saturday) - 220.2 - Hahahahaha I hafta laugh :-) but I'm getting closer to another 20 lb loss, therefore, a bounce in weight. That's what my body does. I just need to stay on point with water, food and macros. I drank over a gallon of water yesterday, but under calories by 188, wasn't hungry enough to eat them.

3/11 (Sunday) - 217.4 - Yeah. Games.

3/12 (Monday) - 217.6 - SMH - I had a talk with her (my body) She's stubborn, but I'm determined.

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.

Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me.

One of the keys to long-term and sustainable weight loss is to cut total calorie intake, and there’s no better way to do that than by eating just a little bit less of what you currently eat. Once you get into a habit of reducing portions—especially of sugary, fatty and other nutrient-poor foods—you can fine tune your diet to incorporate more nutrient-rich foods. But paring portions is still the best first step. — Elisa Zied, MS, RDN, CDN, author of Younger Next Week

Okie dokie. I am eating better day by day as we get almost settled in, but still a lot of restaurant food, so sodium.

3/10 - 150.2
Sigh. But still eating out (we'll get to the grocery one of these days! House hunting has been all-consuming). I am mostly watching what I order better, but we had Italian last night and I always retain water after to many carbs. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

3/11 - 149.6
That's better. Feeling much more in control.

3/12 - 150.2
Gaaa. I did not overeat yesterday, but I think this is still sodium, and will be for another few days. I'm trying to remain calm about it, and see the past 3 weeks and (probably) the next as a metabolism reset pending eating & exercise getting back to normal. My clothes still fit!

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.

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.

Round 34

3/9 / 238.8 / A little bump up from yesterday, but I'm not complaining.

3/10 / 239 / Another bump up. Bah. Suffering from a gluten exposure which causes all sorts of trouble. My Achilles is better but still a little sore. Dumb!

3/11 / 237 / Nice! And I can walk pretty normally today. Whew! Moving my round goal weight to 236!



3/12 / 238.6 / I was so hungry yesterday. I ate back all calories and would have happily kept going. NOM. I'm actually glad this is just a 1.6 pound increase. I expected worse!

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.

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
03/11: 153.0
03/12: 151.5
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!

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.
