4/21 - 209.2. Expected it to jump a little based on what I had for dinner but it didn’t. Maybe I’ll see it tomorrow. I have noticed sometimes it is the 2nd day after a particularly high sodium meal.
4/22 - 209
4/23 - 210. There is the jump from the past few days. Been eating right at ‘’maintenance” over the weekend.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
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.
4/23 – 193lbs - to much sunshine out fishing lake Michigan, fell asleep in my chair till 6pm. Instead of cooking the fresh coho salmon I took the wife to chines buffet. Still full this morning. Salmon tonight!

Date - Weight - Update
4/18 W - 185.8 - As yesterday was a WHOOSH day for me, this is a decently reasonable bounce back, and still lower than where I was on Monday... anticipating this week to be more difficult than last. Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals.
4/19 Th - 184.8 - Maybe it wasn't a WHOOSH at all and I was just retaining water? Or this is another deceptive drop? The most likely scenario is regular fluctuations, but where's the fun in blaming that?; Exercised in the morning - about 600 cals, tomorrow will be a rest day and may end up being a maintenance day if I can't keep my calories in check.
4/20 F - 185.0 - Ate a bit too much after dinner. Still within calories, but it was pure carbs. The 0.2 lb increase is clearly water weight; rest day today but should still get plenty of steps in. Lots of stuff to do.
4/21 S - 183.8 - Ah yes, more fluctuations. Just what I wanted. Been oddly dehydrated lately, despite drinking over a gallon per day, going to try to up my intake just to be careful; Exercised in the morning - about 500 cals.
4/22 Su - 183.8 - A standstill is good over a weekend. Means I didn't go too hard on Saturday, which has been my problem in the past. Another rest day today, went for a walk, but no intense exercise.
4/23 M - 185.2 - Consumed a decent amount of carbs/sodium Sunday night, so I guess this makes sense, regardless of how little I like it. Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals.

4/18 - 240.75 lbs - pretty good first day, ran/walked/shuffled four miles home from work. Ate the last of the Easter egg for dessert

4/19 - 236.75 - I'm guessing that 4 pound loss is all water - I got such a bad headache after my run last night. must drink more water!

4/20 - 236.25 - Lovely day this morning so I biked to work for the first time in a month. Going to try to bike 3x per week over the spring and summer!

4/21 - 236.5 - bit of a lazy stay at home day today. Went over calories by about 300 calories after afternoon tea at a friend's house, but these things happen!

4/22 - 235.5 - lovely sunny day here, went for a walk along the beach and got a small ice-cream cone. Definitely eat better on the week days! Still have dinner to go and want to do a short run tonight. Hope everyone is having a great weekend

4/23 - 235.35 - got super lazy and hungry after my run last night, so we got a takeway kebab (chicken shish so not totally the devil) and chips. Still managed to eat under my calories though whoop whoop Running home from work tonight.

GW: 210

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. Went to Adams Saturday and Grocery store Sunday - prepped and ready for the week.
4/23 - 211.0 - Ice cream got the better of me last night - which I didnt have room for in my macros since I had quesadillas for dinner. But it was a great day of quality food, friends, sunshine and laughter. We did a nice long walk around bowers for Fala. Stopped at Kalon for bacon ended up with steak instead. Grilled steak and potato with green beans for lunch, used leftovers for steak quesadilla for dinner. Minimal snacking, improved my water intake - learned that "light ice cream" is just a tease and I'd be better satisfied to eat the one serving size of regular instead of a whole pint of "light" - Expected the slight gain between over on macros and sodium - but I keep reminding myself that the weekends will take far more dedication than the weekdays, and I will figure out what works and what does not as I continue.

4/19 214.4
4/20 214.0
4/21 213.6 Still doing good. No mindless snacking…that’s what would always sabotage any weight loss for me. That, and eating way too much at mealtimes. Paying attention to how much I’m actually eating makes a big difference. Also, making healthier choices of what I eat. Have a good weekend, all!
4/22 212.6
4/23 211.8 I’m surprised my weight is down again today. I figured it was time for it to hold steady for a few days before beginning that downward trend again. Nevertheless….I’ll take it. Just finished a cup of tea and some plain Greek yogurt for breakfast. Does anyone else notice that when you miss breakfast for whatever reason, you’re not as hungry during the day then on days that you eat breakfast? Yesterday I had a cup of tea in AM, but didn’t have time to eat before I had to leave. Wasn’t hungry until early afternoon. But when I do eat something for breakfast, I’m usually thinking about lunch by 11 AM and find it more difficult not to want to eat a whole lot more throughout the day. I wonder why that is?

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.

4/18 - 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.
4/23 - 324.4 (+ 0.6) It's okay considering I ate a good bit last night. I'm okay with the increase.

4/18 - 202 - last day of vacation, did not go overboard but enjoyed every calorie I chose to consume!
4/19 - 201 - on my feet all day at work but no real exercise, stayed within my calorie limit but didn't meet my protein goal
4/20 - 200 - no real exercise other than housework, chores and errands, whew! exhausted. Out to dinner, ate moderately, 2 glasses of wine, no snacks all day. Good day
4/21- 200 - on my feet all day at work, chose wine and roasted peanuts rather than a walk in the last hour of long awaited sunshine, after an otherwise good food day, Poor decisions are made while very tired.
4/22 - 199 - ate well and moderately, good walk followed by more wine! Oh my! Must stop this wine habit!
