20: 203.4...I feel like my morning Matcha is helping this process more than I expected. I started drinking it because it tastes good and looked into the health benefits after. Now I'm bulletproofing it, which is even better. Some days I have to "make" myself eat more before I go into fasting hours because I hadn't been hungry enough to get to 1400 calories. Dark chocolate with coconut oil is my new savior on those days and my new favorite sweet when I otherwise would have eaten something loaded with carbs.

@jilliancreates, Regular green tea is high in antioxidants, acts a diuretic and boosts metabolism, so the matcha is probably helping you tremendously. With me, being on keto and IF, there are days when I have to force myself to eat. I am just not hungry. I try to have higher calorie foods on hand for the days that I end up eating only once so that I can hit my macros for keto. Yes, fatbombs have saved the day for me a few times. I have found that after 20 to 22 hours of fasting, when I do begin to eat, my appetite kicks in immediately.

My weight loss has been very slow and very unsteady, but I'm trying to get there without ever feeling like I'm doing something hard. I'm taking it very easy on myself and just moving when I can, cutting back when I can, and being mellow about the whole thing.

Round 41 GOAL = Stay under Maintenance calories on average for the 10 days and run three times.

5/18 - 128.2 - Taking this new challenge seriously. Log food every day, I have been falling down on that.
5/19 - 128.6 - logged food and under maintenance, 10K steps. By logging, I got to see that the ratio of snacks to real food was SHOCKING. So, good information!! Admittedly, temptations showed up, but.

5/20 -130.2 - sadness for my own mess-ups, and resolve. Anxiety and comforting myself with food. Way over yesterday on calories, under on exercise. Rising every time I fall....

I use my average weight for my weight loss. I am not making a weight goal for this round; instead my only goal for this round is to reach 10K steps for 7/10 days. Steps: 3/10

R40: SW: 218.9

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18--218.4 Back to my lowest weight so far this year. Kettlebell tonight.
5/19--218.0 Got home after kettlebell and realized I had walked less than 5k steps. So after I ate I took the dog out and got in the rest of my steps in. Really have to work to get my water in on the weekends. Going car shopping today!
5/20--217.5 Surprised about the drop. We'll see if it sticks. Got my 10K in again yesterday, same thing as the day before where I had only taken 5k steps before having to take the dog on an evening walk. So, today what I did was take the dog on a long walk in the morning and I have gotten my 10K in. Working on water today.

Went to the gym yesterday for the first time since I got back and ate somewhat on target. Still dead tired from all the travel.

@brightresolve, I have come back to your post 4 times today, thinking, what can I say to you for you to not feel this way about yourself. All is not lost. If you were eating at maintenance, maybe it's just the wrong time to eat below that level of calories. Your body is rebelling against you if you've dropped them too low and causing you to want the foods you shouldn't eat. It wants those extra calories back.

You could try calorie cycling, which is varying the amount of calories you eat each day, but be sure to eat well. Even easier is eating according to your hunger level. I have to do that myself sometimes. And exercise, well sometimes your body just needs a break to become completely rested. Right now, your weight gain is not real pounds. Please don't let a couple of days of off eating derail you. Are you close to your ultimate goal weight? Your losses will not be big and will be further apart, that's just natural. {{{HUGS}}}

AND, just a few minutes ago I ate 3 TBS of peanut butter, not a craving. I was still a little hungry. It happens.

5/18: 501.0- Upset with myself. Already today is off to a bad start. But on Saturday I’m starting to crack down and hopefully do a lot better.
5/19: 508.6- No weigh in when I first woke up. I got caught up and busy. But I decided to weigh myself at night after a day of eating nothing but crap and the regret has seriously sunk in. I’ve officially decided to join Weight Watchers but I’m going to keep using Myfitnesspal as an extra tool. Sunday is the day I change my life..hopefully.
5/20: 505.0- Today is my first day on Weight Watchers. I’m loving it so far.

Day/Weight/Comment

5/18: 135.6, enjoyed a nice date with wine tasting and 1/2 of a thin crust pizza. Well worth the salt blowup.

5/19: 134.8, a little under my daily minimum calories and macros too fat heavy. Very busy at work yesterday and a sick dog all last night. I'm curious to see how my energy level will affect my appetite and cravings today.

5/20: 134.2, been putting in a lot of work hours = lack of meal prep and cooking. Eggs are this girl’s best friend. Egg salad (3 medium eggs + .5 TBS mayo + .5 TBS mustard) on 1 slice if Dave’s Awesome bread-thin slice is a very filling meal at approximately 300 calories, 13g carbs, 18g fat, 17g protein.
