End of Round 37
17/04: 167.4 Goals ✅ Hopefully, back on track

Round 38 (Round 30 for me. Female, 5'2" aged 71, weight in lbs)
My birthday is 2 days away and I am still 12 lbs from my dream weight. Maybe a whoosh for my birthday?

18/04: 167.6 Goals ✅ What is it that makes us revert so easily to our old ways?
I have really been tightly back on track for the past week, and then last night we had a friend in for coffee and as we were chatting I suddenly realised that I had absentmindedly munched several of the biscuits hubby had put out with the coffee. (not sure exactly how many, lol! as we were having such a great chat.) Not going to beat myself up, but wondering how do we combat the old habits which just seem to lurk there, waiting until we are off-guard, to sabotage all our hard work?

Maybe all we can do is to be aware of it happening, and make sure that we stop as soon as we realise what we are doing. I am continually reminded that being fit and healthy has to be a life time commitment, and is not a quick fix.
19/04: 167.7 Goals ✅
20/04: 167.2 Goals ✅ Birthday today. I'm not going to use this as an excuse to go over the top. Goal is to eat a little, drink a little, and be merry a lot.
21/04: 167.2 Goals ✅ Spent my birthday in the garden enjoying the sun. A perfect pamper day.
22/04: 166.9 Goals ✅ Had an very active day yesterday out in the fresh air.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/18 -- 195.0 Okay, looks like I need to pick a new goal.
4/19 -- 194.2 (TOM) Gave myself permission to step off plan today. Just a little, because I've found that small, conscious indulgences satisfies me and prevents me from breaking out completely.
4/20 -- 193.6
4/21 -- 192.6 That's my first 10lb gone. I hope that I start seeing my progress in my clothes and my mirror soon instead of just on my scales. I still have nearly 7lbs to lose before I get to my "I will never allow myself to get this heavy again" weight from 2013.
4/22 -- 192.2 Progress is progress.

Day/Weight/Comment
18/04 - 217lb - The sun has put me in such a good mood, and I managed to hold myself back and only had 1 gin & slimline tonic in the garden, woo!
19/04 – 214lb - I think a fluke but I'm taking it! Going to take a walk in the sunshine on my lunch break and then head to the gym this afternoon.
20/04 – 215.5lb – bit disappointed after yesterdays weigh in, but still only 0.5lb from my end of round target!
21/04 - 213.5lb - a very up/down week so far, but the number is a lot lower than the start of the challenge so I can take a couple of small gains on the way!

22/04 - 213lb - still in the right direction!! Expecting a gain tomorrow after the weekend but will not let it deter me!

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.

weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
round 33 - start=215lbs end 202lbs
round 34 - start = 202 end 192.8lbs stomach empty and bone dry
round 35 - start = 192 end 196lbs
round 36 – 195lbs no change.
Round 37 194lbs start and finish but did see 192 for a couple days
4/18 – 196lbs – allowed myself a free for all day to end the free for all week. The next 10 days I plan on shifting from maintenance to weight loss program. Should drop 2-3 in the first days then a couple more by the end of 10 day challenge. 190lbs on or before 4/27 is my goal
4/19 – 195lbs – still predicting a quick drop if I don’t have adult beverages. Eat before logging and WOW does prime rib have a lot of calories. Homemade and worth every bite. Managed to ride bike for 30 minutes
4/20 – 194lbs – good thing lunch was on target. Eat 5 hotdogs at a gathering last night and had 1 to many cocktails! It’s a fishing weekend so I probably will not eat right the next 2 days
4/21 – 192lbs – eat kinda okay yesterday but didn’t plan on 2 pound change.

4/22 – 192lbs – not bad for a weekend. Hope the fish are biting this afternoon. had the last salmon in the freezer a week or so ago.

4/19 140.2

4/20 139.6 Well, I would have been happy to see this number at the end of the round. This may be the loss of "water weight" from re-starting weight loss after a long pause.

4/21 138.8 Well, this is very encouraging. Of course, I don't know if this is "water weight" or if my calories are set too low. My activity level can change from day to day and even week to week, and I'm nursing a toddler who takes in an ever-changing, impossible-to-know-amount-of-milk every day, so it can be hard to know my ideal calorie goal. Since I feel great and I'm not hungry, and it's only day 4 of the round, I'm going to keep on keeping on for now and see how things go.
I had a physical yesterday, and passed with flying colors. What a difference from the last time I was at the doctor's. I'd had several health problems that were hard to recover from. Looking forward to exercise, fresh air, good health, and weight loss!!!!

4/22 139.6 Had a big huge dinner last night; ate at maintenance. Have a brunch at a restaurant today; will try to do my best with accurate logging and not overeating.

4/21 289.7

wow what?!?!? I was not expecting that! Down 1.3lbs in one day - ahead of schedule but I will take it
Eating on days like today can be super tricky - out of bed at 3am, starting work at 5am - so I'm home and have had dinner by 4:30pm which gives me the rest of the night to get hungry. I need to remember to not eat too much as early as I did today and learn to save some calories on days like these.

4/22 290.3

I knew last night would be tough, and it was - I ended up eating a mini-bag of popcorn (100 cals) and slice of multigrain bread with pb and jam. So in ended up over my calories for the day booooo. Good start to today with egg whites on multigrain bread, a banana, and a cup of coffee. I'm going to do some meal prep this afternoon - mostly involving cleaning and cutting up fruit and veggies, cooking some chicken and boiling some eggs - adding some good proteins to my work lunches should help with being too hungry for dinner - my lunches last week were mostly fruit and veg so I ended up super hungry by the time dinner rolled around.

4/18 - 326.6 (-2.2) - It's going the right direction, and after last night's binge I really didn't expect it to at all. I had five, yes, five quesadillas, everything else on point.
4/19 - 326.8 (+0.2) - I ate better yesterday, but doing better today. I just need to stick to plan.
4/20 - 325.6 (-1.2) - I am very satisfied with this and unexpected amount. It gives me motivation to stick to what I am doing and shows proof in the pudding.
4/21 - 324.4 (-1.2) - Sticking with the same amount. I ate a bit off plan, but still within calorie limit. I got all my movement hours in place as well. Overall it was a good day.
4/22 - 323.8 (-0.6) Still a good loss for just one day. I'm slowing down on the loss of water now.

4/18 / 237 / Under calories yesterday. I'm back to getting at least some activity in every day, but my knees are starting to bark a bit.

4/19 / 236 / Within calories again by a smidge. I stuck with just my home-to-work and back walking rather than adding anything else to see if my knees feel better. So far, so good. Working from home today, so I'll have the flexibility to do whatever I choose!

4/20 / 236.8 / Weighed myself two hours earlier than yesterday, so I'm not at all bothered by the tick upward. I bounced on the trampoline last night and was able to go 8 minutes straight. This probably doesn't sound like much to y'all, but that thing kicks my butt! When I first got it, I could go about 2 minutes, then pause, then another 2 minutes, etc. After bouncing, I did stationary bike for another 13 minutes and called it good. Going to a baseball game tonight, which is hard with Celiac. I need to eat beforehand, but sometimes the timing makes that tricky.

4/21 / 235.6 / I like it! My knee is unhappy. I will take a couple of rest days.

4/22 / 239 / Wow. I had pho yesterday but 3.4 pounds gained? Bodies is weird!

4/18 - 212.6 - Felt a little bloated, adjusting lunch time shake down to 1 scoop
4/19 - 212.2 - Feeling positive and slightly less bloated. Walked the Dog around Pearl Hill about 1 mile. Being more mindful about getting up every hour at work.
4/20 - 210.2 - Bloat is gone, scale shows the water weight lost. Adjusted my lunchtime meal yesterday since I wasn't hungry after my sandwich wrap and skipped the shake. I think the shake makes me bloated in the afternoon. Dinner has not been planned just being more mindful of portion sizes. Did 25 minute yoga/meditation last night. Goal is to actually check in this weekend while I'm not on my work schedule. Accountability!
4/21 - 210.0 - had pizza and salad for dinner last night, it fit into my macros for the most part. Slightly over, but the day was good whole food eating all day. 80/20 rule! Weighed in a little earlier than usual. Good breakfast shake this morning and took meds. Pot roast snack after a walk and errands instead of a big huge breakfast sandwich. Weekend water intake always struggles but making a good effort. Going Adams farm and grocery shop today or tomorrow. Doing an experiment today to see if I can make good choices on the fly!
4/22 - 210.2 "experiment" went well considering. Ate mostly proteins all day and ended up having ice cream for dinner cause our eating schedule was all weird after a long day, first weekend back working. Water struggles for sure and I woke up so dehydrated. Duck eggs and sausage for breakfast and off the the store for a few things. Water water water today.

"]I've had my fun the past 6 weeks (moving, house hunting, eating!), but I've reset my goals and am serious now about dropping another 20 pounds by the end of the year. At 1 lb. per round, that's reasonable and doable, especially as the weather improves, my life settles down, and I get back to walking & hiking & biking & weights.

Goals:
Weight ~~ UGW - 130; goal this round - 149.

GOAL: 149

4/18 - 150
I was so good yesterday I was hoping for a little less.

4/19 - 149.6
A little stressed today, waiting for seller's response to our requests re. house inspection. Aiming for lots of protein & reasonable good fats + a nice walk to fend off counter-productive urges.

4/20 - 150
Normal bounce. I ate well yesterday and walked a bit.

4/21 - 149.6
Good. I expect a bounce tomorrow - we had pizza for lunch today. Still possible to stay within calories, but sodium.... But that's fine if it happens. Have a lovely Saturday afternoon and evening!

4/22 - 150
Yep, there's the pizza bounce. That's fine - back to normal sodium levels today.
