ROUND - 46

7/7 - N / A
7/8 - N / A
7/9 - 190.2 I was away for the weekend but I am back....madder than Hell at myself and my weight!
7/10 - 189.2 Every little bit helps. NO after dinner snacking seems to have helped.
7/11 - 187.8
7/12 - 186.6 It's hard to not nibble in the evening...especially when Hubby is!
7/13 - 187.0 WTH.....no nibbling and I still went up? Gotta try harder now that it's the weekend!
7/14
7/15 - 188.0.....gotta buckle under for the next couple days. Weigh in on Tuesday!
7/16 - 190.0....Dammit

My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.

My daily weight is on my home scale, so I can monitor how my week is going.

My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

I've decided to pay more attention to my moving average weight rather than daily ups & downs, so that's what I'm reporting this round. Also reporting both daily calories & 10-day calorie averages, because I've found the averages mean more in terms of my weight trend, but I still like to see what the daily numbers are.

Goals:
Food ~~ 1330 net calories 10-day average; P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 25-35%; mostly clean & healthful
Exercise: 60 minutes/day of walking/swimming + yoga/stretch class 3X/week
Weight ~~ looking for a steady or downward trend. Time is not an issue.

I had a lovely day yesterday, and today promises more of the same. Temp in the low 80s and clear, so I went for a 4-mile walk on our beautiful Rivergreenway in the morning. Did some gardening in the afternoon, and then some housecleaning ( ) because we had friends over for dinner, which was lovely with the gorgeous long evening to sit outside and talk and watch the birds and eat a bit too much (but healthy!). I hope you all have a beautiful weekend!

7/08 - 149.6/147.7 moving ave - 1377 - 10-day ave 1371
We're having a string of gorgeous days - temps in the 80s, brilliant blue skies.... I saw the results of Friday evening's splurge on the scale this morning, but I'm going with the averages, so not letting it stress me out. I worked in the garden for an hour last evening, moving and planting - there's nothing like playing with living color in the dirt to lift the spirits! Off for a walk in a few minutes. Have a lovely day, all!

I didn't have a chance to check in yesterday so just added my data. Calculating averages has turned out to be really useful - I see a much clearer correlation between my 10-day (or 7-day) calorie average and my weight than between daily calorie fluctuations and weight. Since I'm using my moving weight average, changes aren't so startling, but in fact my weight this morning was 149, which makes sense since not just my daily calories but my calorie averages are up a little. So now I can make sensible adjustments. Oh, and I did splurge last night on a half cup of ice cream and had Mexican for lunch, so it all makes sense.

7/11: - 150.6/148 moving ave - 2035 - 10-day ave 1507
I have no idea why, but yesterday evening I pretty deliberately overate - I haven't had this many calories since May 25, and that was a similar anomaly. Weirdly, I woke up really hungry for breakfast. Go figure. Of course, my weight is up and will no doubt stay up for a couple of days, but focusing on the moving average helps me see the bigger picture. Anyway, that's the end of that foolishness for another long while! I'm just thinking of it s a quick re-feed and moving on. Planning a nice long walk this morning and maybe another this evening.

7/12 - 149.4/147.8 moving ave - 1165 - 10-day ave 1466
Apparently my splurge on Tuesday carried over, because I wasn't very hungry most of yesterday & I felt kinda crummy. I did go for a walk, but only half an hour. Back to normal today (I hope!).

7/13 - 149.6/148 moving ave - 1230 - 10-day ave 1462 - 7-day ave 1507
Yesterday was a good day - beautiful weather for a walk by the river and low-calories to balance my Tuesday splurge, which is still showing up on my weight & moving average, but I expected that. Also, my average calories have been higher than goal throughout this round until the last two days, so there ya go. OTOH, I've lots a half-inch of waist and I put on some jeans that were snug a month ago - they're loose. So don't use the scale as the only measure of progress!

7/14 - 148.8/148.2 moving ave - 1330 - 10-day ave 1474
Yep, the averages make perfect sense, and my splurge on Tues is working itself out. All good. I went for a lovely walk yesterday morning before the heat hit, but today I'll have to go to the gym or wait until late evening - gonna be HOT. I had hoped to hit the 6's this round, but hoping while pigging out doesn't cut it. Have a lovely weekend, all!


7/15 - 149/148.3 moving ave- 1216 = 10-day ave 1446
My brain says this makes sense, look at the averages (my actual weight is back up to 149 ) but it's pretty hard not to be bewildered/disappointed. I am walking and doing other exercise every day and it's been 5 days since my big splurge - seems like I should be losing by now. My macro averages are very steady @ P 20, F 30, C 50. I suppose the good news is that I seem to be firmly under 150, but not much considering my calorie level and exercise. I just don't get it. I'm stop trying to lose for a while, but considering that I'm pretty much holding steady I don't know how that would look any different. Sigh. I'll keep up my current "program" through the next session to see if anything happens once my Tues. splurge is off my 10-day calculations, but if I don't lose a little then, I'm going to rethink my goals.

7/16 - 148.8 /148.4 moving ave - 1269 - 10-day ave 1437
OK, back where I started the round. Calories low the past 5 days, but my 10-day average is still at my estimated (& confirmed!) maintenance level, so I guess it all makes sense. I hate cutting calories so low, but I'm going to try very hard to keep my calories lower for the next round to see what happens.

7/07:--174.4 I didn't expect this to stick around!
7/08:--174.8 Weighed in this morning but almost forgot to log it!
7/09:--173.8 Wasn't expecting to see this at all! It's probably a one-off because I wasn't feeling 100% yesterday and ended up under-eating.
7/10:--175.4 A sure sign that TOM is imminent.
7/11:--175.2
7/12:--175.8 It's only temporary.....it's only temporary......I considered skipping today's weigh in since I know its my old friend TOM messing with me, but I decided to give him the finger instead I stopped logging last night and allowed myself to just eat whatever I wanted. I always feel soooo hungry around this time of the month. I've figured out that this is cyclical and if I just let it happen for a day or two, it won't mess up my long term progress and it's actually easier to get back on track. Otherwise, I'm just cranky!
7/13:--176.6
7/14:--Didn't weigh in; TOM is making me want to eat ALL.THE.THINGS.
7/15:--178.8 Let's just pretend we didn't see that....
7/16: --179.2 Holy moly. This is what happens when I stop logging for a few days and eat whatever I want. I plan on making this very temporary--time to get back on track! This went from being my best round to my worst round. Argh....

7/07-last day on vacation, no scales.
7/08-167.7. Stayed within calorie goal but didn't eat dinner until 7:30.
7/09-168.2
7/10 - 167.0
7/11 - 166.6 Stayed on track yesterday as far as calories go. Ended the day with 1393 In & 2158 out. Carb intake was just over 100, a bit more than I would have like but still not bat. I got over 8 hours of sleep last night.
7/12 - 166.7 1383 in/2437 out. Carbs under 100. Only 7 hours sleep. Scale up but still happy with my progress.
7/13 - 168 Was not true to myself and my goals and the scales said so this morning. I'm going to turn that around today so it was just a 1 day blip.
7/14 - 166.8 Back on track yesterday. 1124 in/2172 out. Carbs 21, net 12. Sleep- 7 hours. Hot yoga this morning was awesome!
7/15 - 165.6 Good day yesterday. 1353 in/ 2275 out. 71 carbs. Sleep 8+ hours. Afraid the 1.2 shift in the scale is due to alcoholic beverages last night. Here's hoping it's the same or better in the morning.
7/16 - 166.7 As suspected Saturday's adult beverages (2) impacted Sunday mornings weight. :-( 1195 in/2404 out. Carbs 52, net 32. Sleep 6:21. Diary planned for today.

•7/7 - 192.2 :bigsmile:
•7/8 - 192.6 - I guess I'll be seeing every increment of 192 this challenge. Although, after what I ate today, I expect to see up to 194. I enjoyed my son's Belgian waffles again today. I planned for 2 and thats what I ate at a cost of over 130 grams of carbs, 110 net carbs. EGADS!
•7/9 - 192 - Ended up being 135g carbs / 112g net after eating some green beans for dinner.
•7/10 - 192 - A normal high carb day for me on keto yesterday, 44g, 41 net. Salad greens, lime juice for my water, salsa and a few tablespoons of crispy red peppers as a salad topping.
•7/11 - 191.6 - Oh my, what a surprise! I thought my scale would read 192.4 for sure (I think that's one I skipped) or 193 upwards to 194. Yesterday, I kept the children while my DIL worked. It was the usual busy, fun chaos and I did manage to eat breakfast. I even ate a small peach and several strawberries. 35 net carbs for the day. No second meal for me though (peanut butter to the rescue) and not enough water until after they left. I weighed 5 times and the averaged total was 191, so I chose the number I saw twice. Maybe I will see an increase tomorrow.
•7/12 - 191.6 - Okay. Yesterday carbs were salad and a half cup of watermelon. 35g, 31 net carbs. I had to run errands and that always alters my eating plan later in the day. I ate dinner a little later than usual. I cut back the watermelon from a full cup and did not eat guacamole that I had in my food diary. I had no appetite for it.
•7/13 - 191.4 - BMI hovering above overweight. Another busy day yesterday, so I had to revise my food plan. Too much prep between my dinner and DH & DS's dinner. I just ate what they ate keto - ized 53g carbs, 37g net carbs. Lemon juice, celery, a roma tomato, 1/4 cup cantaloupe, and salad greens. Retaining some fluid today, fingers are stiff and my problem knee feels a bit tight.
•7/14 - 189.4 - "hunches shoulders" go figure. 55g carbs, 39g net carbs yesterday. Low carb flatbread, spinach, salad, small peach, jalapeno, whole roma tomato. All I can say is FAT ADAPTATION IN THE HOUSE!
•7/15 - 190.2 - Oh, the weight I cruised by. My downward weights reminds me of my family, EVERYONE has to have special attention from me. Lol. 55g carbs, 38g net carbs. Lettuce, celery and apple in my chicken salad, small peach. Most of my carbs yesterday were in cottage cheese and peanut butter, my go to no fuss fat and protein bomb.


•7/16 - 189.6 - 35g carbs 27g net carbs. Spinach, broccoli and zucchini. Strawberries with almond butter and whipped cream as a dessert. 😋 Yummy. One flavored coffee creamer.

I'll take it and be happy for today but not sure how accurate it is. Going to the lake today so I will have to be very mindful of what I'm eating and to make sure I'm continuously drinking my water. I tend to snack on everything at the lake and slack on water, got to change that habit.

7/08 - Camping, no weigh in.

7/09 - 152.4 -

7/10 - 152.4 - Hoping for a drop soon, scale first showed 151.4 and I got really excited but the next two times it showed 152.4 do that's probably more accurate to what my weight is. Got a morning and evening workout in yesterday, doing 2 different challenges. 30 Day Challenge and an 8 Week Challenge, looking forward to seeing some results.

7/11 - 152.4 - Did both challenges yesterday, my legs are definitely feeling it. Yoga today will be perfect for my sore muscles. Hoping to see a drop any day now. I wanted to be out of the 150s by Saturday for a big party we're going to but don't believe that will be happening.

7/12 - 151.4 - finally, hooray! Now to continue right on out of the 150s. Did both challenges again yesterday plus got in an hour walk, had plenty of water and ate good. Just need to keep it up, it's working even if I don't see a drop right away.

7/13 - 151.2 - not as big of a drop I would have liked to see today but I'm happy. I did pass by my round goal so there's that achievement

7/14 - 151.2

7/15 - 148.6 - hahaha I wish! To bad that number only showed up because of a super late weigh in and from bring way dehydrated. Interesting to see what tomorrow number end up being though.

7/7 at 5:00 / 230.6 / Urk!

7/8 at 10:45 / 230.4 / Terrible eating. Too much running around. Too little drinking with too much salt. On the plus side, yesterday we went to NYC and saw the Statue of Liberty and were able to climb into the crown. Something like 350 steps from the ground to her crown, with the second half going up a tiny, twisting staircase. It was lots of fun and we all got a bit wobbly on the way down. I now have a really weird sunburn on a spot where I guess I missed putting on sunscreen.

7/9 at 8:00 / 229.4 / I had a much better eating day yesterday and drank lots of fluids. This week should be a very simple week. Fingers crossed!

7/10 at 6:15 / 229 / Good eating day yesterday. Today, I'm taking part in a challenge where my only drink is water. I don't know how capable I am of that! I love my Diet Coke! I hit my head really hard during my commute. I have a bit of a headache, but I think things are okay. I'm on a bit of high alert right now.

7/11 at 6:00 / 228 / Good eating. I made it through day 1 of no Diet Coke. Can I make it two in a row?

7/12 at 8:45 / 226.8 / Good eating yesterday. My second day of no Diet Coke, but I'm working from home today and I just didn't feel like going for a third day in a row. Nice drop in weight. Of course, it's a much later weigh in, too!

7/13 at 6:05 / 227.6 / A bit of a bump up, but it's a much earlier time. I'm doing really well and have no complaints. I'm back to drinking only water today.

7/14 at 8:15 / 226 / Woot. Had another good day. And today is a heavy exercise day. Planks!

7/15 at 8:25 / 227.6 / INTENSE exercise day yesterday (part of an MFP challenge that had me doing some extreme cardio). I ate a bit more than normal and I'm sure I'm a bit dehydrated today, but it's also probably my muscles holding on to some water. I did 50 burpees, y'all! FIFTY!

7/16 at 9:00 / 228.6 / I slept like a log last night. Weight bump is from pho and more muscle repair going on. What an excellent round overall for me! I was well within my calories from Monday on, and was getting my butt moving as well. This is a great demonstration that the scale gives us one piece of data and we need to fit it into the larger picture.

See you in Round 47!

07/06 - 196.2 *R45 EW

07/07 - Saturday - 198.0 ouch. Feeling bloated and slow and tired. All this sugar and salt has taken its toll on me and I'm ready to eat better today. I ate some breakfast and made lunch and plan to bring snacks to a friend's this afternoon. Also got a big water bottle. Life is hectic right now but I'm happy in each moment while still looking forward to the future.

07/08 - Sunday - 197.2 - quick check in. going to look at a house. another crazy day and I'm grateful I can keep up!

07/09 - Monday - 197.0 - So we put in an offer on the house we looked at yesterday. Super exciting! Fingers crossed all day long to see if they accept. And the washing machine we were going to pick up was a bust. The day was nothing like I planned and we ate pizza for dinner - oh well! Today is well planned at this point - so we'll see how it goes This is a new week and I plan to get back to the basics - last week went a little off the rails, and I've got lots of things upcoming that could be excuses. I also realized I tend to go crazy in July and December - so I'm giving myself some grace rather than beating myself up for it and moving forward with baby steps! DH and I were talking this morning and realized we've made some huge changes in the past 3 years - quit drinking, quit smoking, started saving for a house, stopped going out every weekend. We made all those changes slowly, but deliberately. Reminding myself I AM CAPABLE if I just keep swimming.

07/10 - Tuesday - 195.8 - Nice! Busy as ever and incredibly prone to distraction today as we wait to hear if our offer was accepted. No breakfast smoothie, and no ice in my ice coffee this morning that is life these last few days but I'll make the best of it! I did manage to pack of few snacks at least and take meat out of the freezer to grill for dinner. Onward!

07/11 - Wednesday - 193.0 - WOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!! Finally! AND! Offer accepted yesterday!!! It was a whirlwind to say the very least so I was on the low side of my calories yesterday. I ate a nice dinner even though I wasnt hungry because I knew the munchies would come late at night and try to sabotage me if I didnt! Feeling so freaking grateful to be on the road to a better me as we move closer and closer to our dream home every day too - which means babies and I need to be healthy for that to happen! Managing stress will be KEY over the next few weeks.

07/12 - Thursday - 192.4 - Okay I think this is the stress at this point. Three days of whoosh seems extreme but gosh darnit I'm happy to see it. Eating has been good, even though I have NO appetite - moving lots -and trying to stay focused and organized - and also trying to get enough sleep! Phew! Checking in early here so I can focus on what needs to get done today.

07/13 - Friday - 192.0 - Another busy day yesterday. Didn't eat breakfast, not hungry. Minimal lunch, not hungry. Small dinner, not hungry. Realized I NEED TO EAT, so I had a slice of cheese and made a protein mug cake and had a popsicle. Given the last three days of no appetite I decided I need to eat anyway, so I made my breakfast smoothie today and I'm just starting on it now. I'm still not really hungry - this is foreign to me. I usually stress eat. I'm managing the stress pretty well too though I suppose - a lot more even tempered at least. It's Friday night with pasta on the menu tonight though so I know I'll be hungry for that, must not binge though! Have a great weekend everyone!

07/14 - 193.8 - Dog walk early morning. Took a nap in the afternoon! Unexpectedly out to dinner with friends to celebrate home buying.

07/15 - 196.6 - A totally unplanned and untracked day after meeting the sellers. Explored our new home town all morning. No breakfast. Went to the lake and grilled steak and veggies for lunch - also swam! Quick trip to grocery store to get us thru the week. Burgers and hot dogs for dinner.

07/16 - 196.2 - Riding the wave that is life right now. Lots and lots of different things in all different directions need my time and energy right now. Trusting the process is important for me right now. I definitely indulged this weekend, but I'm going to go back and track it and move on! I suspect I'm going to struggle a bunch over the next few weeks - moving makes habits really tricky to stick to. But I am going to take each day one step at a time! No loss this round but I have logged some incredible milestones this past week! Woohoo!

Round 45 report: Logged later a few days, but average sugar consumption was quite a lot lower which was a goal. Got a couple of nice cardio workouts in, average weight is down.

Round 46 GOAL = Maintain weight. That's it. I am trying to control my anxiety by making rules again, and it's time to stop when my perfectionism is driving the bus; that's a "recipe" for disaster.

7/7 - 125.8 - yesterday under maintenance, 10K steps, got in a walk/run to gym and 20 mins on elliptical.
7/8 - 126.2 - yesterday over maintenance, due to some middle of night can't-sleep sugar. Got in a pretty solid at-home strength workout yesterday - resistance bands, exercise ball etc.
7/9 - 125.4 - yesterday under maintenance, 10K steps, got a 3.5 mile run in with some walk intervals, it was hot but ran to gym and then ran on treadmill. A day to stack up and check off the things that will make me feel better: taking care of bills, stretching, taking vitamins, sitting with the mindfulness exercise, and getting a run.
7/10 - 126.8 - yesterday under maintenance, 10K steps including a short run to gym, 35 mins on the elliptical, and slow walk home. Unfortunately the gym was steaming (it's more of a lifter's gym, hardly anyone does hard cardio there for more than 10 minutes but me, and it has west facing windows...) and by the time I got home I was BROKEN.
Dinner helped, but after passing out for 5 hours I woke at 3AM with a headache and weak willpower, and some sugar has gone down the hatch. Possibly my body is just replenishing its glycogen, I have worked out pretty hard a few days in a row ... All will be well, it's just finding my sea legs with summer here in norcal
7/11 - 126.8 - yesterday super overtired, over on calories and a planned no-workout day due to other commitments. Went to bed at 8:45 and slept 10 hours. Aaaaahhhhh. It was LOVELY.
7/12 - 127.6 - yesterday under maintenance, 13K steps, nice run. It feels so weird to run hard on a treadmill for a half a mile, take a walk break to get my heart rate down, and realize that was not quite as fast as marathon pace ... 13 years ago. But I'm running; so no worries. Another good night's sleep.
I spite of the other day's bonk, I ran to the gym in the heat and it went much better. Took ice water this time! Was still 88 when I got back home. (Dry norcal heat of course, but still hot for running!)
7/13 - 126.8 - yesterday under maintenance, only 7K steps. Hubs (who is retired and an excellent healthy cook as well as a pro gardener, I am SO LUCKY) made homemade vegetarian tamales and avocado-tomatillo salsa for dinner. I could have cried it was so good. And we ALMOST have tomatoes...
7/14 - 126.6 - yesterday over maintenance cals and 6K steps. Some emo stuff up, healing. Early bed, good sleep, and we did eat our first tomatoes!
7/15 - 126.0 - yesterday a squidge over calories; got 14K steps including a great run: to gym in the heat (getting used to it!) and treadmill, ran a half mile and walked 100 yards a bunch of times, and still had enough to run home: altogether 4.35 run. Soon, soon, I will be back where I was in January...

7/16 - 127.6 and deserved, snacks are my nemesis on low energy weekend days especially Sundays, when I am not able to gear up for what I want to do and just kindof sludge down into meh. 10K steps but over a couple hundred on calories.

Still, not a bad round, some faith-building workouts and 10-day average weight hits a new low.

R46 * Start = 125.8 * Ave = 126.6 * Min = 125.8 * Max = 127.6

Day/Weight/Comment

7/07: Weight = 164.5 (down .4 from yesterday) Happy to see the scale moving in the right direction to start off this challenge! Yesterday was a good day - was able to squeeze in a short run between thunderstorms and completed day 19 of my exercise challenge which was a Posterior Chain workout (Thigh Jacks, Elevated Bridge Lifts, Triceps Dips, Swimmers, Single Leg Tabletops, 3-Way Calf Raises). So what I learned yesterday, is that I have SUPER weak back muscles. I've found in past workouts that doing Supermans are hard for me but the Swimmer's yesterday showed me just how weak my back is. Swimmers = lie on your stomach with your arms and legs fully extended - lift your arms and legs up and begin to paddle, alternating right leg, left arm up, then left leg, right arm like a swimmer, keep your lower back engaged for 45 seconds x 3. So that's something I definitely need to work on. On to day 20 today which is Cardio Ladders. I hope everyone has a great start to their weekend and to this challenge

7/08: Weight = 162.3 (down 2.2 from yesterday). I KNOW this is not a real loss. Slept in this morning and weighed-in super late so that will account for this low number. I don't expect this to be my weight tomorrow but as long as it is below 164.5 tomorrow, I'll be good. Yesterday I was below calories, on target with macros and completed my day 20 exercises. Around 10 p.m. I found myself doing a few walking laps of my house to get my Fitbit to 10,000 steps - so silly, but hey, it is making me move more. It's a beautiful day here today, and not hot or humid like last week, so going to go enjoy a nice run and then get my day 21 challenge workout. Probably grilling out tonight, love lazy summer days!

7/09: Weight = 162.3 Didn't expect this number to stick around, very surprised but happy! I still won't believe this is a real loss for another day or two. Yesterday was the last day of the break in the heat wave, going back up this week, so I enjoyed being outside and had a great run and then we cooked out last night. Husband cooked a flank steak, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers on the grill and he and our daughter had fajitas and I skipped the tortilla and had mine on top of a brown rice/quinoa grain salad, delicious! I completed day 21 of my exercise challenge which was all about back strengthening, which I need. Capped of the evening watching the Tour de France (so addicted to this every summer), so all in all a nice relaxing weekend. My daughter has extended school year (just 3 days a week during July only) starting this week and we live relatively close to where it is being held, so I'll be walking her there for drop off and walk back for pick-up, so should be adding in some extra calorie burn for the next month. Have a great start to your week, everyone!

7/10: Weight = 161.8 (down .5 from yesterday) I *think* I've broken through my plateau, I want to see another day in this range and then feel like these are real losses. Yesterday was a good day, I ate under calories and hit my macros, no alcohol, no gluten, lots of water and completed my day 22 challenge exercise which was a lateral/side body circuit workout. Also got in a 30 minute walk with my daughter to do a trial run to see how long it would take to get her to summer school, 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back. Although my plan is to walk her there for drop off and then run home and then run back for pick-up and walk home with her. Anything to get that extra calorie burn! My big happy moment yesterday was when I caught my daughter looking at me and then she said "Mommy, I can see it, you are losing weight. You look different than you did". That being said, I am always careful being the mother of an almost teenage girl, that I tell her I am doing this to get my fitness back and be strong and healthy not to be skinny.

7/11: Weight = 161.8 (same as yesterday) I'm down 10.2 lbs since I recommitted to my weight loss in June. I'm really happy to reach this 1st milestone! Yesterday was good all around, got in lots of exercising and got my most steps since I got my fitbit last week, ate under calories and didn't have any gluten or alcohol. I did my day 23 exercise challenge yesterday which was a full body workout and I'm on tired legs today. Luckily, the scheduled workout for today is Active Recovery with 15 gratitude sun salutations. And the weather is pretty good today too, so I think my daughter and I might mini golf this afternoon, a fun way to get in some steps on this rest day.

7/12: Weight = 161.6 (down .2 from yesterday) Yesterday was active recovery, so took it very easy but completed my day 24 challenge (yoga) and just had a nice afternoon/evening with my daughter. We watched a movie after mini golf and just vegged out on the sofa, my steps were super low but that was the plan. Back at it today with running, a booty workout and a walk planned.

7/13: Weight = 160.3 (down 1.3 from yesterday) Had a bit of a late weigh-in this morning, might account for this big loss, I'll see what tomorrow brings if it sticks. Yesterday, I got my run and walk in and completed the day 25 challenge which was a booty/legs barre workout. I really liked this workout, hope to do more like it. I've wanted for a while to check out one of those barre workout places, might do that in the fall after I reach my 1st weight loss goal and feel more comfortable working out in a group setting. Dinner was super yummy last night which was a porcini mushroom risotto, I added in sauteed zucchini and yellow squash and some prepared meatballs, so probably had a bit of gluten with those but in moderation I still feel fine with a little gluten. Love, that I am eating real foods that I enjoy and still losing weight, this is how I will succeed long term. No "diet" here. Just have to be mindful of portion control. Today is a stress fest at my house with my daughter, doing my best to hang in and be strong for her but it takes an emotional toll on me, hello that's how I got fat. But, I know I can not control the situation just how I react to it - so no stress eating/drinking from me today, will manage my stress with working out and getting in some gratitude sun salutations....the one that resonates the most to me currently is "I am grateful and appreciative of everything in my life".

7/14: Weight = 160.1 (down .2 from yesterday) Another late weigh-in this morning and I'll hopefully weigh-in late tomorrow morning too, so the Monday end of challenge number may bump up a tad, but I'm okay with that. I did not stress eat or drink yesterday, so SUCCESS but I also didn't eat enough so feeling a bit sluggish here this morning and have an intense cardio workout scheduled for today which I need my energy up for. I completed my day 26 Upper Body challenge work out yesterday and got in a long walk as well. Thank you for the support yesterday!

7/15: Weight = 159.4 (down .7 from yesterday) Wish I didn't have this number pop up on the scale today...getting under 160 is my 1st major goal and today was a super late weigh-in so probably not a real representation of today's weight. I'll be back to my normal weigh-in time tomorrow morning and see what's what. Hopefully at some point next week I'll be able to celebrate firmly being in the 150's and start planning my next small goal. Yesterday I completed my day 27 workout, cardio ladders which kicked my butt! Other than that relaxed all day with super low steps. In the home stretch for this challenge, let's finish strong!

7/16: Weight = 159.6 (up .2 from yesterday) Another late morning weigh-in, will want to see the 150's on the scale for at least 2 normal time weigh-ins before I for sure believe I am out of the 160's. I definitely made my goal of being out of the 163's though. I completed my day 28 exercise yesterday which was legs/booty/hips and got in a short run. Overall a good relaxing weekend. I've got 2 more days in my 30 exercise challenge and plan to take 2 days off and then start a new one, still trying to decide which one. I give a lot of credit to this group, having a place to be accountable with only short term goals of 10 days at a time, really makes this process seem so much more possible. Big thanks to everyone who posted, your showing up for yourself, helped me show up for myself

Total pounds lost in Round 46 = 5.3 lbs

7/07 160.2 Wow I am super stoked to start with this weight!! Finally got my parents home yesterday after a long 3 weeks of caregiving, celebrated last night with a cocktail, hot tub, time with my hubby and light dinner. I drank a lot of water yesterday and just snacked rather than my big salad, not meeting my macros but happy with this loss! Now to stay the course as I head into the weekend.

7/08 162.6 Cocktail and fried calamari, Fiber One bars give me a stomache ache, became a Granny to twins...tummy hurts still!! No more Fiber One for me, water before I eat, yardwork today. Tomorrow's weigh in will be great, I am sure of it!! I have lost almost 10 lbs and it really feels good. I lose the tummy bloat first and that's what makes me feel fat vs. thin, so success!

7/09 163.4 WEIGH IN DAY Well, this gain is expected after my indulgence the day before. It took 2 days to show up, since yesterday I was on plan. I am confident I will drop back down this week.

7/10 162 Up and down and up and down, stay the course to reach your goal.

7/11 161.4 As I said.

7/12 161 Yay! The trend is in the right direction. Would love to see the 150's again. I know I really need to start adding some exercise, that will give me more motivation, energy and toning.

7/13 160.8 Spent most of the day fasting but then ate all my quota by bedtime. A good lesson on ignoring cravings and the pangs of hunger.

7/14 161.4 Took my phone on a walk and earned some extra calories, ate them and plus some. I think I won't do that again (eat the extras) NSV I have been feeling sexy, I cleaned out one of my kitchen cabinets that was a mess, took the dogs for a long morning walk, I went through and purged my junky jewellry, I went to an unexpected dinner with my 16 yo son, my mood is up!

7/15 161.4

7/16 WEIGH IN DAY 160.4 My weekly weigh in weight is down, but so far this round has been pretty flat, hoping for a small loss tomorrow so I continue the downward trend.

7/10 175

7/11 174.2 excessively exercised today, hoping to see that reflected in my weight for tomorrow. Drank 1.5 liters of water

7/12 173.4

7/13 172.7 didn't exercise yesterday all that much. Slightly disappointed but saw somewhat of a loss so I am still happy. Back to the routine. Drank 1 liter of water yesterday, I want to try and complete at least 2 liters today

7/14 173 exercised, even though I didn't feel like it, drank water but still only 1 liter. Still shooting for 2 *crosses fingers* tomorrow I am due for my period and I am feeling a little bloated, hopefully after the first couple of days but my body will drop those last 3 pounds. Determined to hit that 170 by the end of this 10 day challenge!!!

7/15 172.4 exercised like crazy yesterday to the point of needing a nap in the middle of the day, which I never do. I was right about aunt flow... that b**ch. 1.5 liters of water. So far all week I have stayed under my caloric goal. Today is going to be rough, I'm craving chocolate .... help me 😆😆

7/16 172.6 didn't exercise yesterday, my hubby took all my time lol which means playing the Xbox for the majority of the day. I gave into munchies also... yikes. So I'm not surprised by my gain but I'm happy that it wasn't too much, still manageable. Drank 1 liter of water. This new week will be better, back on track for sure!!!

Challenge lost 5.4 pounds!!! Great start

Goal for the next ten days: to leave the 170s behind me

Ummm.... whaaaaaa!!! 🤯😂 no clue what’s happening and why. I worked out very late last night and ate within my goal. So did everything right. Did feel bloated for the first time last night so maybe that’s what this is? Oh well! Let’s see what happens in this round. I know progress will be slower now, even if I push myself. Last 10 lbs!! Also need to get better sleep.
7/08 - 120.4
Couldn’t workout yesterday as I felt my left knee was hurting a bit. It’s very mild. Never had any kind of issues with my knees before so didn’t want to push it without knowing what’s happening. Need to figure out moves/workouts to mediate the pain and it’s almost gone with rest now. I cooked and made flan last night and hoping not to overdo it with food today!
7/09 - 119.6
Ok, so that is good. Weird weigh in yesterday and day before that better not happen again! 😂 walked for an hr. Yesterday and it felt good and my knee got to rest too. I think I’ll try to do my regular bike cardio today. Let’s see. Lack of well rested and enough sleep seems to be important for how my days go and also weigh-ins in the mornings.
7/10 - 119.4
Yay! Warm up and workout yesterday, knee feels better too. Good sleep last night and within my calories.
7/11 - 119.6
Yesterday was rest day! And kind of wasn’t a very active day physically but a busy day nonetheless. Sleep was ok, ate within my goal and looking forward to working out today.
7/12 - 118.2
Worked out yesterday and it felt so good. I feel bogged down and heavy, the days I don’t workout! Who would’ve thought I’d ever feel that way for not working out! 🤣😬 sleep could’ve been better but wasn’t too bad, also ate well within my range. Although, ate maybe a tad more carbs than I usually do, but it wasn’t over by much.
7/13 - 118.2
7/14 - 117.6
This makes me feel super happy and motivated to keep on track. I have really worked hard for this one. Worked out and pushed myself yesterday and ate super well also was under my calorie range. I can feel my stamina increasing which is a very good feeling. Just need to keep doing what I am doing! Remember to work on getting better sleep, warm up before every workout and drink drink drink more water. And looks like, hopefully I can complete this round under my goal weight!! Still fingers crossed 🤞 as I do not want to jinx it 😜 I had plans for Chinese dinner tonight from the very best Sichuan place, but this progress makes me want to not do that. Eating out just inevitably reflects on your weight the next few days. We shall see.
7/15 - 117.2
I’ll be happy as long as I can finish at my goal weight for this round. Worked out and ate within my range yesterday. Today is rest day. Chinese takeout may happen tonight but I’ll try to stay within my calories.
7/16 - 117.4
That’s expected increase after yum Sichuanese food last night! I was only 100 calories above my range and did not overeat. It was rest day but I still workedout lightly for 20 mins. As I was feeling heavy after the fried rice. I hope weight doesn’t increase anymore as an aftermath of last night. Workout today, lots of water and back to homemade healthy food.

See you all in round 47 and all the best! We can do this!
