So Apparently my last post was too long to post.

To read my other post in this Round 35 click here..My Other Post I'm some where closer to the bottom of the page.

3/22 & 3/23=351.2 *So yesterday, was busy! from the time I got up till the time I crawled into bed..today has been the complete opposite of yesterday super duper slow. I'm planning on getting a daily burn exercise in, Today lunch was Asian Porkchops. Which was surprisingly delicious.I have dinner going which tonight is a free recipe I got from Easy Chinese Chicken Fried Rice.

Backstory When I first moved in with my cousin it was Aug 2007, I can say looking back now we were beyond unhealthy. We both had been brought up if your sick go to the dr. Well, She had to take a hand full of medicine every morning and night. Now let me try to say a handful can be different for each person her hand full was 15 different types of medicine.Ones for her Thyroid, her Shingles medician because back then it our health was the last thing on our mind in the terms of how we look at our health today. I was taking ADD meds and Asthma meds and Headache meds almost on a daily note. Get up get a surgery filled breakfast brush your teeth with chemical-filled toothpaste. Here an interesting note on ALMOST ALL products on the market if you happen to have ever seen a small green, blue, black or red tiny almost barcode looking square on the bottom of toothpaste, shampoo etc. kind like the pic below..Yeah let that sink in for a moment. even before this we were battling for breath when we walked out to check the mail. Or when we would walk we twist an ankle. How many of you Yes! you have twisted an ankle then couldn't walk. Or even eaten something then later your visiting out Great Hidden closest friend, in the middle of the night the toliet then wondered and thought "It must have been something I ate or Maybe I'm getting sick" Let me run and call the dr and go in to get more pills I have to take. Yeah you and me and her both.

I'm in Hope that by people reading my post I can share how me and her both No longer take any medician from the dr. Yeah, her thyroid and shingles meds she doesn't have to take them anymore; Nor do I. That all ended 3yrs ago because it was 3yrs ago when we started putting the puzzle together. Now by cooking and eating our food from the house not processed foods from the quick grab isle I'm late I need something fast for dinner isle. Well when we figured this out and started changing the weight fell off and we didn't end up daily in the gym and we didn't count calories.So I hope everyone has a great night and I'll see you all in the morning time.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19: 137.9; weighed 135.7 on March 15 but allowed a few days of stress and binging to throw me off track. (23,583 steps)
3/20: 137.2; binged again, so I expect a weight jump tomorrow (25,167 steps)
3/21: 138.1; I expected this, but it is still discouraging. No binging today and thus, only 11 calories over goal. (25,777 steps)
3/22: 136.0; slightly under calorie limit today (25,334 steps)
3/23: 135.3; ate below budget again today. I had to really fight the urge to snack while at work. I honestly didn’t think I would be able to resist when the munchies hit me around 10 am and lasted until the end of the day. (27,687 steps)

Posting in the morning. I plan to do a hike today, but also to go to a cocktail tasting party so today might not be ideal from a diet perspective. I drink so rarely, I can't handle much alcohol but the party just sounds fun.

Thought I'd be up today. I only had one cocktai yesterday, but I sat right next to the chips and dip and ate a lot.

Fifty pounds from my heaviest weight! 50 lbs! 50 lbs! 50 lbs! 50 lbs! 50 lbs! 50 lbs! 50 lbs! 50 lbs! 50 lbs! I'm not going to get tired of this for a while. OK, I didn't set any records getting here, but I believe I'm at my lowest weight since age 15 or so. I'm 48.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19: 223lbs. I decided to cut my calories this round to see if my weight starts trending in the right direction. Today was a good day overall. I kept my calories below 1800. Walked 10000 steps and worked out for 30 minutes.

3/20: 222lbs. I’m glad to see the scale finally drop a pound. I ate about 2200 calories today, but I walked 11000 steps and had a 35 minutes weight lifting session.

3/21: 221.5lbs. 2200 calories, which is still more calories than I originally planned for this challenge. 12000 steps and a 40 minute workout.

3/22: 222lbs.

3/23: 222lbs. Walked 9000 steps and lifted weights for 45 minutes.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 - 98.6kg - very full weekend, too much salty meats and snowed in so couldn't get out for a run… should be a nice whoosh over next few days as I was down to 96.6 on sat, so 98.6 this morning can't be true weight gain… can it?! husband is home for next 10 days though so he's on strict orders to make sure I stick to my plan! I have reset my calories to 1kg loss per week and I will NOT eat back calories from running…. I have a bar of yummy chocolate waiting for me for Easter!

3/20 - 97.3kg Now there's a whoosh…. :-)

3/21 - 97.2kg

3/22 - 97.7kg finding it hard to log food as I'm deep into thesis work! I have an assignment due soon so my time is being devoted to getting that done. My calories haven't been too bad but I'm not going to get to run until Saturday… :-(

3/23 97.1kg I dunno how. Bad food choices, even though I was under calories, I think. Possibly due to the fact I drink a lot more water while studying?!

3/24 98.2 i just don't know… I walked, rowed and did spinning followed by a bit of landscape gardening…. How?!

3/19 276.9 Not starting off great but all good I know it's water walked a lot yesterday and was under calorie goal
3/20 275.1 Love it when the water weight goes away changed my exercise this week instead of 3 cardio / 2 strength reversing them as would like more muscle definition so 3 days of lifting with light cardio and 2 days of heavy cardio see how that route works.
3/21 275.4 A tad up but still happy got a day of lifting and some cardio if I can get to the gym got 2 inch snow already and still coming down but roads look clear
3/22 275.7 moved wrong direction but actually went over calories yesterday not by a lot but first time in a long time be nice if weather would decide between winter and spring so can go hiking more. Going to do cardio day at gym did get measured yesterday at dr and gained 3 inch on my chest so lifting weights does work.
3/23 275.3 going right direction again good burn at the gym today getting ready for more snow tomorrow might get a quick hike in this afternoon ahead of it since this weekend looking like not getting outside
3/24 275.6 Just stalling out this round feel I'm eating good and under getting good exercise body just sometimes doesn't know to shrink some fat just doing some light cardio ahead of snow storm coming in

Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.

Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.

03/24 - 139.2 - Rough day yesterday shoveling snow. Back is bothering me due to my scoliosis and also had to sit on the steps and take a break from shovelling as I thought i was going to pass out. Gain is likely inflammation/water retention as I have been on track with my calories except for wednesday. Not going to stress if I don't meet my goal this round, and focus more on my physio for my back. Trust the process

3/19 184.6 no comment, just tears. tomorrow will be a better day.

3/20 182.2 a bit better, but still stupidly high. Decided to do IF (5/2) for two days a week and see if that helps get me back on track with my habits. Our Spring break is in 10 days and I can't afford to buy new pants, lol.

3/21 178.8 I did my low cal day yesterday so I was expecting a good drop. That's almost 6 lbs of water weight in 2 days. Pretty crazy. I really think some of this is hormonal fluctuations and not drinking enough water. But today I am writing my plan and sticking to it. 9 days til our trip!

3/22 177.8 so not bad, feeling a bit more like myself. That was probably the end of the water weight so maybe a real loss in the next few days. Low cal day again today, have my meals planned out and sticking to the plan. Lots of water today. We are having a cold snap, so I'm drinking it hot with lemon.

3/23 177.0 my low cal day yesterday went well, food tastes amazing when you are truly hungry, lol. today, just watching my portions and planning on a glass of wine tonight.


3/24 179.2 grrr apparently the scale is very bouncy when you do a 5/2 way of eating. I guess it makes sense because your stomach is more empty volume wise on fasting days? my 5 day average is the same as last round, so I guess the high weight isn't sticking around at least. I hope to see a drop for the next few days!

3/19 = 160.2 Home from vacation, so maybe I can break out of this plateau.

3/21 = 157.2 And the Whoosh! Continues! YAY!
3/22 = 157.0 So happy about this and praying the bounce won’t come. I will NOT feed a bounce!
3/23 = 157.0 Traveling to my parents’ house for the weekend. Their house is full of everything I ate growing up, SO I will really have to be strong to maintain through the weekend. I do not want that stuff. I do NOT want that stuff. I DO NOT WANT THAT STUFF!!!
3/24 = No scales today at my parents’ house, but I was pleased with how I ate yesterday. So far, so good! They are impressed with my weight loss, so perhaps there won’t be as much unintentional sabotage on anyone’s part.

Back again! Hello everyone!! My motto this week is "write it before you bite it" as I haven't been super consistent logging my food lately.

SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - Smashed this in October 2017 and maintained around 143 until the winter blahs and my crazy freelance schedule got the better of me and I put a few back on.
New GW - 140 - really want to work on getting another 5-7 off from where I am now and committing to fitness so I can participate in some adventures with my boys over the summer...no more watching from the sidelines!!

3/18 - 147 - coming in from round 34

---

3/19 - 147.4 - weekend aftermath...blaming it on the beer. We were super active so I can only hope some of this is also muscle recovery as well.

3/20 - 146.4 - One year ago today....I started tracking my food and weight everyday with the intention of losing 20lbs before a big family vacation and then to keep going to lose a bit more before the summer. I've gone from barely squeezing into size 12 pants and covering my top with flowy XL shirts to not event hesitating to go to the size 8's and smalls and even bought a pair of size 6 jeans last week. I'm participating in sports and activities with my active kids instead of watching from the sidlines!! I'm very proud of myself...it's hasn't all been down...but I didn't let the upswings derail me. Weighing and checking in here everyday has made me very mindful of how my choices affect the scale and what those trends really mean in the long run. I still have some goals to achieve but if this chocolate/craft beer/wine loving mama can do it so can anyone!!


3/21 - 145.6- working it off...
3/22 - 144.6 - Wooot!! Under 145 again!!!
3/23 - 144.0 - Still coming off!! Hoping to get back down to 143 before we leave on vacation next week...if I can only keep the wine in control this weekend.
3/24 - 142.8 - Yep!!! That happened!!! I expect this will rebound a bit over the weekend. I think I will back off the deficit a bit and start eating more of my activity calories back.

3/21 - 187.8....It's the damn evening snacking that's killing me!
3/22 - 187.2
3/23 - 185.4....Actually feels good, to be back in the zone! Not giving up the evening snacks completely, just in
moderation.

It won't be easy, but it will be worth it!
My ultimate goal is 170lbs, so any loss is a good loss.
