11/07 83.6kg (+0.3kg) Lost my motivation a bit, needed to eat the last piece of homedmade Dutch Applepie.... Just like @ heymossy I didn't want to weigh, and when I did, I didn't want to write it down here

11/08 83.3kg (-0.3kg) A day with excersize, relativation and relaxtion
11/09 83.3kg (-0.0kg) It was a hungry day.... but stayed focussed.
11/10 83.0kg (-0.3kg) Worked, ate well, hubby was home lat so between work and dinner I went on my elliptical and did a round of Strong Curves. After showering I measured myself and lost several cm's on legs and hip!!
11/11 82.5kg (-0.5kg) I've reached a normal BMI!!!!
11/12 82.4kg (-0.1kg) A lovely Sunday full of excersize, walks and good food

Result of Rounds 56+57 = - 3.6 kg (-7.9 lbs.).
SW: 66.2 kg (145.9 lbs.)
GW for Round 58: 63.7 kg (140.4 lbs.)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 65.1 kg (143.5 lbs.).
11/05 - 66.2 kg (145.9 lbs.). +2 kg over a weekend, logical result of 3000+kcal yesterday. Jillian Michaels in the morning. Plan for today: 3km walk during the lunch break and Jillian Michaels in the evening. Hope these 2 kg will disappear in a couple of days
11/06 - 65.2 kg (143.7 lbs.). -1 kg. 7km run in the morning. Planning to do “six-pack in 6 weeks” in the evening. Want to see my 64 kg again asap.
11/07 - 65.0 kg (143.3 lbs.).
11/08 - 64.6 kg (142.4 lbs.). Did “six-pack in 6 weeks” yesterday evening. 7km run in the morning.
11/09 - 64.2 kg (141.5 lbs.). Jillian Michaels in the morning + 10 min AB ATTACK with Shaun T.
11/10 - 63.7 kg (140.4 lbs.). SO HAPPY!!! I’ve never seen this figure on my scales. May be I was in this weight at the time we didn’t have scales at home. I have my menu for the weekend. And I will keep to it. I even squeezed in a couple of non-alcoholic beers (thanks’ God in Germany even non-alcoholic beer tastes) and a glass of wine for Sunday. And I am planning a big “freestyle” for today (a kind of intervals – walking + running) although the weather is not great. But it is only a matter of right clothes! LOOK FOLL! THINK BEFORE EATING SOMETHING THAT SEEING YOUR SCALES SLAP-HAPPY CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH A PIECE OF CAKE. This I wrote for myself in the first place. Svetlana be consistent!
11/11 - 63.2 kg (139.3 lbs.). It is too much… Did “six-pack in 6 weeks”. Will not go to the scales. Don’t want to see below 63. Now a breakfast. Thinking to go to thermae, but not yet sure
11/12 - 63.0 kg (138.9 lbs.). Jillian Michaels in the morning
11/13 - 63.5 kg (139.9 lbs.). + 0.5kg. Nothing to worry about. Definitely not because of eating. Had a wonderful 7km run under the rain
RESULT OF ROUND 58: minus 1.6 kg (- 3.6 lbs.)

Day/weight/comment
11/04- didn't weigh
11/05- 211.2lb- Today has been easy enough, over 10,000 steps and kept within my calorie goal. Consistency is the key for me, must log in and be accountable tomorrow!
11/06- 210.8lb- feeling motivated today, iv got plenty of housework to be cracking on with and my meals are all planned out. 'Failing to plan is planning to fail', have a good day all X
11/07- 210.4lb- yesterday went very well, I logged everything, stuck to my calorie goal and did more steps than what I was aiming for. It's a low calorie day for me today, I'm going shopping for birthday presents for my little girls 5th birthday so hopefully that will keep me busy 🙂
11/08- 210.4lb- did over my 10,000 steps yesterday and stuck to my eating plan. Today I am aiming for 1400cals, I want it to be nutritious and filling though, no snacking and making sure I hit my protein goals.
11/09- 209.6lb- I hit all my targets for the day yesterday, a nice drop in weight to motivate me today. I'm feeling really on it at the moment.
11/10- 209.4lb- well I obviously jinxed myself, I did so well in the day yesterday, over 15,000 steps, loads of calories burned, and then I decided to have a glass of wine or two, then all self restraint went out the window. I was lucky to escape with any deficit at all. Feeling super hungry today now, I'm going to try having a low calorie day today, or that is the plan...
11/11- 209.6lb
11/12- 209.4lb- I have been absolutely rubbish at logging over the weekend. I have however redeemed myself slightly by having such a good day today, over 16,000steps and a low calorie day.
11/13- 209.2lb- well not a great ten days but a lose none the less. I could have done with being a lot better over the weekend. Will see you all on the next challenge ☺️11 -

deepwoodslady wrote: »@abowersgirl Of course, I sympathize with you. What happened is EXACTLY what happens to me when I get out of town. It is like a frenzy at times. Foods I haven't had in a long time. Things I love (like pasta) that just doesn't fit in my plan. It's like the land of Milk and Honey. I also feel ashamed when I share my bad experiences or my weaknesses, but I do it so that others will know that it happens. Others will see that the weight does come off. Others will see that it is okay to enjoy those special occasions with family (as @jerier said) and not worry so much. I hate that it feels like we've undone weeks worth of work, but much of it truly is water. @tiabirdie56 shared the water recipe and it really helps me after "events". The parsley seems to help the most, but I often use all 3 items in the water. With the parsley, I actually shred it up into the hot water and I include a few stems too. Seep for 10 - 12 minutes and drink plain after straining through a strainer or a paper towel. Sip like tea. It doesn't taste the greatest, but it really does work. Usually about 2 lbs per day of water for 1-2 days. You've enjoyed your uncle's birthday and that is good. You're back on track and that is fantastic. Best of all, you've shared the experience and are allowing us all to see the weight move back down over the coming days. You are helping others see that it's not the end of the world. Thanks for sharing and reminding us all that we are all human and we are not alone. We all know that you work hard at this. You are doing fantastic and I, for one, am very proud of you.
I know you didn't write that to me, @deepwoodslady, but I certainly needed to hear that. Thanks!4 -

11/4–146.2 I was away for the last 4 days and feel pretty good about not gaining more than .4 considering what all I was up against. I’ll take this as the beginning number of this new round!
11/5—146.2 Should not have bought that peanut butter yesterday 8-) I had plenty of activity yesterday (in fact, I’m really sore), but snacked late on low fat peanut butter. Note to self: not a good idea.
11/6—totally forgot to weigh until too late
11/7—148.5 Well, so I ate like a demon yesterday, so this is no surprise. Hopefully, I can get my act together today and work it off quickly.
11/8—147.6 Whew, headed back in the right direction. Just gotta keep it going.
11/9—147.6 Drank lots of water and ate on plan, so this should drop some more soon. Going to be away from scales tomorrow.
11/10—did not weigh
11/11—149.4 OMG, I am NOT going back over 150!!!
11/12—147.2 Whew, breathe….I will be up a little for the round tomorrow, barring a small miracle, but there’s been a lot going on in my life, and I caved to some comfort eating. I am back in control now.
11/13—146.4 I’ll take this, all things considered. See you in Round 59, folks!11 -

11/4 - 146.5 - We had family over for dinner last night and I definitely ate over maintenance. It will probably show up tomorrow.
11/5 - 148 - Here's the mulled wine, spinach lasagna, meatball, caprese salad, garlic bread...and a small slice of carrot cake from Saturday. Although I don't regret the food and wine from Saturday, I'm so glad I'm aware enough now to not eat like that every weekend.
11/6 - 147 - Glad to see some of the gain was from sodium. I took the day off work today for a medical test later this morning. I dropped off our new dog for training/doggie day care today and then I stopped and voted. I can tell the anxiety for the upcoming test is making me want to snack while I wait to go in. I'll be good though, snacking is not going to change anything but my weight.
11/7 - 147 - All things considered I did well with my eating yesterday, but not much movement. Back to work today and getting my steps in.
11/8 - 148 - Ouch, that Saturday meal is really going to haunt me this week. I've been eating well and got my steps and water in yesterday, so I know this will eventually drop again.
11/9 - 145.5 - Wow, I'm actually a little skeptical, but the first 2 times I weighed it said 144.5. It hit the 145.5 the next 2 times so that's what I'm going with. We had our first snow here in NE Ohio this morning and it was so much fun watching our new dog go crazy over it. Of course with the snow comes thoughts of rich, creamy soups, toasty bread, and warm pies. I'm going to be good this weekend because I'll be indulging in all these things in a couple weeks.
11/10 - 146.5 - High sodium evening meal last night. I hope I do better for tomorrow's weigh in.
11/11 - 145.5 - I made some really good eating choices yesterday, so I'm happy to see this number.
11/12 - 145.5 - Now if I can just have this stick through tomorrow I'll be happy!
11/13 - 146.5 - Darn it! I have a few inflammatory things going on with my body right now that could be causing water retention. I'll be drinking a lot of water today!9 -
Hi all! I'm going to give this another try. Was here a while ago for a few rounds but gave up because I kept losing and gaining the same 5lbs. I should have stayed because now I've kept those 5lbs on and added a few more 🙁
Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 258.8...not happy to be up to this again but it is what it is. Starting back on plan today, and no more excuses.
11/05 - 257.8...stayed under calories, 45 mins of exercise..gave a beginner's yoga YouTube video a try and learned that I'm super tight and not flexible at all! 100oz of water and no soda..I've decided to cut it out entirely.
11/06 - 255.8...stayed on plan, 30min walk and 100oz of water. Glad to know that some of my gain was water weight!
11/07 - 253.4..yay! So actually most of it was water weight 😀
11/08 - 251.2...surprised to see this number already, I'm sure I will probably stick around here for a couple of days. Very happy with it though.
11/09 - 250.6...starting to slow down now, so I guess all the water is finally gone. I had take out chicken strips for supper, which wasn't great, but I kept it within calories and didn't binge!!
11/10 - 249.6...woohoo!! Back to my lowest in July. My mind seems to be in the right place now and I don't think I'll get stuck here again. I've been reminding myself everyday (multiple times) that I control what I eat, not my cravings and I can still eat what I want as long as it fits into plan.
11/11 - 248.6...was suppose to go out of town yesterday but went outside to load up and found a completely flat tire. Took the whole day for my SO to get it in somewhere..sat and long weekend so most things were closed. So my son and I spent the whole day inside, and holy did I crave because I was bored!! Managed to not give in, but it was hard. Will be going out of town today for the night, not sure if I'll have a scale tomorrow or not.
11/12 - no scale...nsv, for the first time ever I went out of town and actually tracked everything and stayed within calories 😁
11/13 - 247.4...this has been a great round for me! A lot of water weight loss in the beginning but definitely having actual losses now. Also, I feel like my head is in the right place again, which is great. My goals actually feel achievable again 😁 See everyone in the the next round!14 -

11/10 - 262.6 - oh the joys of weighing daily! I can feel that I'm retaining water this morning.
11/11 - 264.8 - pizza & cupcakes & more pizza & cupcakes - my fault, no excuses

UGW: updated 67-63kg (148-139lbs)
Rounds 47-58 EW: 73-70kg (161-154.5lbs)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 71kg kg No plan the last few days, so this isn't suprising. Actually, reading back, I overindulged most days in the last round.
I have no real plan for this round as I'll be traveling and settling in. I will buy food&body scales, find a gym, running routes and a routine for lunches etc in this round. It is frustrating that just 10 days have undone the last few weeks, but I will not let that discourage me.
11/05 - 71kg Finished my 5-10k programme - about 1.5 months later than originally planned, but it's done now. Will start a new programme this week, once I determined when and where I can run.
No logging today or tomorrow due to travel.
11/06 - kg No scales Travel day
11/07 - kg No scales First day in new job
11/08 - kg No scales
11/09 - kg No scales
11/10 - kg No scales
11/11 - kg No scales - Alright, so i've now caught up on the whole week. I've not logged or weighed myself since Monday. My first days in my new home and job have been great. But food, exercise and logging are challenging. Things are labelled in KJ, there is a lot of non-labelled food, many things are quite unhealthy with hydrogenated fat and added sugars. I have neither a food or body scale yet or a full body mirror, but will hopefully get at least the body scales next week.
I will start logging again tomorrow, there will be a lot of estimations until I have a food scale, but even if the calories aren't correct, logging will stop me from snacking so much. Drinking enough water isn't an issue as I'm constantly thirsty - i've already finished a 10l canister at home.
I have devised an exercise plan I can do at home, but have yet to buy a yoga mat for floor exercise I'd like to add. I tried to run on Fri and had to stop after 1km as it was too hot and breathing was hard due to heat (around 30C and no breeze) and altitude, i went from pretty much sea level to 1300m/4250ft. I also fought a cold until Fri, mainly from the flight, so I will try again this week in the morning. I plan to get into a routine with early morning exercise and running from next week.
I don't move nearly as much as in London and get stared at for walking to the office. It is hard not to keep myself busy with snacking, so i'm quite worried about gaining and feel like i already have. It's dark by 7pm so everything happens before then and the evenings are spent at home. Obviously, this will change once I meet more people to hang out with, find a gym and start driving.
Today i'm not doing anything, already walked to the shops to buy water and something to cook, had some pasta for an early lunch and will have left overs for dinner. I went out last night with a work colleague and met loads of nice people, but it became quite boozy, so also no exercise today. Would love to go for a walk, but it's so dusty and hot, no breeze or shade, so i'll give that a miss.
11/12 - kg No scales Did my exercise routine this morning, logged breakfast, lunch and a few snacks/fruit. Le'ts see if this will get me through the day. Quite bit of guess work, but hopefully I overestimated. Not sure what dinner will be, depends on if I'll have a car - the fleet manager wants me to go for a drive with him to assess my driving skills
11/13 - kg No scales I'm a bit late posting. Yesterday was ok, however I got very hungry in the afternoon and then had chocolate in the eve, which put me slightly over. However, I didn't add any exercise calories. This morning, I was gonna run but then finally got comfortable and not too hot, so i decided to stay in bed for another hour. I logged my breakfast and lunch, but would really love a scale for my oatmeal and know how many calories are in the granary bread. It's very thin and light and does not fill me up very well, so i just chose one from the database that's on the lower side. I think i will switch to eating my breakfast in the office, the way I did in London, as I'm hungry as soon as I sit here, even if I've eaten an hour earlier.
Tonight, I'll be going for dinner with the new people and will see if i can make good food choices, wherever we go.
I also passed my driving assessment, which means I'll be able to get a car and check out a gym this week.
See you next round, i'll be on top of things with reading your updates properly also, which I've missed, and hopefully i'll go for that dreaded run in the morning.8 -

11/4
11/5: 166.6 I last did this group about 1 year ago for many rounds. I stopped counting/exercising and maintained weight okay for most of the summer then BAM I have gone off the rails! Back up in weight and struggling with motivation. Hoping jumping back into this daily check in will help! Starting off as round 1 since it's been so long.
11/6: 165.4 Fighting a cold. Ate Halloween candy yesterday. I always want chocolate when I am sick. Weird. Other than that ate healthy and went to be super early!
11/7: 165.6 So stuffed up but I'm going for a walk outside this morning. I've got to start exercising and get this immune system back to fighting order! Pretty random eating yesterday but nothing too crazy.
11/8: 164.4
11/9: 164.4 Yesterday was another miserable sick day but I powered through. Hoping I've turned the corner this AM. Going to a pot luck event tonight after a super busy, stressful week and no time to eat before I go. I already feel myself caving to the Mac n cheese!

I don't have high expectations for November - this is usually when I say to heck with it and start gaining it all back, so if I can maintain that would be a big improvement. ( btw, according to my son, heck is where you get danged to if you don't believe in Gosh)

11/5 176.6 pizza and cake for my older son's b'day
11/6 175.6 took the afternoon off work to go to the passport office - got through in less than an hour! so had time for an extra long walk 6.3 miles and still had time to go to Michael's from Xmas craft supplies.
11/7 175.6
11/8 176 - very late getting in here today. Expected more of a bump than that as I did not track or exercise yesterday, I knew it was going to be a busy day so I bought a frozen meal - it was very disappointing - bland and not at all filling - I felt cheated and ended up "compensating" with junk. Back on track today.
11/9 175.8

11/11 175 finally the sun is shining!
11/12 173.4 I am not sure I believe this, but the scale was very insistent!
11/13 173.4 OK so now I believe it. That gives me a loss of 2.4 for this round, 26 since I joined the challenge and 56 from historical high. I am happy that my November strategy is keeping me on track, so the plan is to keep with the program, use the therapy light, get up and out of the house every day and keep on tracking and checking in here with you lovely people.10 -

11/5 - 182.4 - nice way to start the week!

11/04 147.4 Have a great round everyone!
11/05 WEIGH IN DAY 146.8 Amazing! Super stoked to be back on the downward trend!
11/06 148 Oops. Over by 1000 calories yesterday. Had a mini melt-down when I did a head count for our Thanksgiving dinner that we are hosting and came up with 50 adults. Today is a new day, making the triple threat cuke-pars-lemon water and will get rid of this bloat and headache. Just another lesson being human, not perfect, just me. "@tlgale we've all been there
, just remember when you do go off the rails, a lot of the pounds you see on the scale are water retention from increased carbs/sodium. To gain a pound of fat you need to eat 3500 calories over maintenance, not just over your MFP calorie goal. One or two bad days of eating doesn't make you fat, one or two good days of eating doesn't make you thin, it's what you do most of the time that matters."
11/07 146.6 Pizza bloat is gone, whew! We order pizza about once a month when I don't feel like cooking, and it definitely does not make my body feel good.
11/08 145.8 Good day yesterday, walked, hydrated, ate to make my body feel good. Got to cut back on the protein bars though, they are back in my life again and though they fit in my day they are still processed foods. Bad news is I ordered a bulk pack and so here they sit...Can I admit I am so happy to be back on the downhill? Not really sure why I stalled there for a month and a half at 149. I think I had a belief in my head that a lower weight was too hard to maintain, but looking back, I didn't know what I know now about macros and CI/CO, that's why it was so hard. I had lost previously on weight watchers, plus I was a distance runner, not eating any exercise "points" and carb heavy/vegetarian. No wonder I was starving all the time!
11/09 145.6 Wow really great losses this round! I guess I was ready! Now I need to start doing some more intentional exercise, specifically get the glutes activated! Fires in the area have the air quality awful again, so inside work only.
11/10 147.6 Deserve this after a late night grilled cheese and some cake, but it was worth it! I'll post photos later of the cake I made for my nephew's birthday, it turned out super cute, but I had to eat some of the "waste" since it was chocolate and whipped cream with crushed oreos, my personal cryptonite! Oreos are forbidden usually in my house due to my weakness for them, but I was the instigator this time. We are not walking the hill due to super smokey air here in California, so sad to see all this fire again! NSV- lost some inches with this last little weight drop, my sister told me I looked skinny, my husband told me not to get too skinny...love the external validations!!!
11/11 148.2 Ayi ayi ayi! Can I drop back to 145.?? by the end of the round?? Going to try my hardest! Here's a photo of the cake and my adorable nephew! He's half Polish half Spanish, adorable little imp!
11/12 WEIGH IN DAY 145.8 Crazy what the body does with ups and downs! I did stay on plan yesterday, so happy to see immediate results!
11/13 146.2 Ate well and below goal yesterday, but under hydrated so not concerned about this small up. I would call this round a super success! Great job everyone, lets keep the momentum going next round, especially with the US holiday coming up!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04: 67.5 - More than expected. Yesterday was a big day. My calorie intake looks ridiculous, but then I did have 4 1/2 hours on the judo mat. Was grading (got 20 points, woop!) and then squad training afterwards. And boy does my body feel it this morning. Everything hurts. And I seem to have gained a couple of interesting bruises (mostly on my shins). Hoping to keep under my burn going forward
11/05: 68.4 - Okay I wasn't expecting that. I mean I was, but not nearly that bad. Yesterday I went to a relative's birthday party, and there was plenty of food all the time (seriously, every time I turned around there were more nibbles, and I do have a problem with nibbles.) Dinner was curries (which I love to pieces), but I picked myself a small bowl and didn't overload it and I was honestly stuffed afterwards so I'm glad I went for the smaller size. Muscles still screaming this morning, so I'm hoping that's the reason for the enormous jump on the scales. I'm certainly feeling a little more puffy than usual, so I'm 90% certain everything is retaining water right now. Ended up slightly over maintenance calories which is annoying as so far this week I would have been in deficit every day, however it wasn't much, even with some fairly generous dinner allowance calories, so I'm still reasonably pleased with the whole situation.
11/06: 66.8 - And there it all goes. YaY! Yesterday was a mixed bag, I spend most of the day so very hungry. Mostly because I just didn't eat enough food in the morning, and then my lunch was laughably small, so I had to eat some chocolate to bump up the calories and kept myself distracted when I got home so I wouldn't want to eat all the food before dinner. Ended up keeping myself under my calorie goal, and then I went and judo-ed in the evening, something I didn't eat back any of the calories for, so my deficit for yesterday was pretty good. However, I'm not hopeful for a great day today as I look to my right and see that somebody in my office made cake and sausage roll. I'm already doing my best to not stare at it. Maybe I'll just try and maintain today and eat my deficit in cake lol.
11/07: 66.9 - *deepest sigh* I ended up over yesterday. Only just, and actually it was around my normal maintaining calories, but I really wasn't feeling 100% so I didn't do as much walking throughout the day, or any exercise in the evening, so my daily burn was much lower than normal. And yes it was all because of that blasted cake and sausage roll. And the worst bit was that it was really good and 100% completely worth the calories. I just wish I hadn't had quite as many slices as I did. But I suppose that's why I wasn't that hungry last night so I guess it's swings and roundabouts. Anyway, will be doing better today, no signs of cake or snacks appearing in the office so should be able to stick to target.
11/08: 66.6 - Another really tough day yesterday. Again I was feel really hungry all day. However, stuck to my guns and stayed mostly within range so ended up with a decent deficit at the end of it all. I am pleased to see that my stubbornness is paying off and I am dropping that weigh that's been lurking around.
11/09: 66.5 - Now if my weight could just pause there until the end of the round that would be grand. Hahaha, like that's going to happen. Anyway, another good day yesterday eating-wise. Stuck under my target deficit and even banked a few extra calories by finally donning the running shoes and going for a run. I think my pup very much enjoyed the run around the neighbourhood (he loves to run), but he pushed me hard. And has yet to learn not to run right in front of my feet, so there was a couple of times I almost tripped up on him. However, I'm hoping to get out again tonight in a vague attempt to wear him out and burn those few more calories that bring my average up. That, and I really want chips for lunch, and these rarely fit into my goals, so I'll have to work something out to bring my burn up.
11/10: 66.9 - Not at all surprised by that one. I'm blaming all those chips. Being that I wanted chips, so I has some for lunch. Aaaaand then I also has pie and chips for dinner. However I did go for a run (and to go out and buy the chips) which is the longest run I've done for some time. I looped around one bit twice because I was feeling good, and had I not been hungry I might have looped around a third time. Looks like I might need to find myself a slightly longer loop. And I paced myself so much better than Thursday. Still very slow going, but I'm so happy to actually be getting out there and going for a run. Food ended up over, but with the run (and some extra walking throughout the day) I've ended up with a very nice deficit.
11/11: 66.9 - Lots of Judo then lazing around for the rest of the day. Ate very well and clocked a big deficit for the day.
11/12: 66.9 - Fairly lazy. Took the dog out for a longish walk. Still need to work on his recall. Ate quite a lot for the day, but still ended up under overall. Had fajitas for dinner, a surprisingly low calorie meal although we did have the large wraps as opposed to the mini wraps I normally use, so was a bit larger than normal. However I didn't think much of the spice mix that I bought, so I don't think I'll be using that brand again. I feel like I'm retaining fluid, so I'm hoping that I'll get the drop for tomorrow's weight in to reach my target. Finger crossed
11/13: 67.5 - Ooops. All I needed to do was not stuff my face and I probably would've ended up negative for the round. And then we had Chinese takeaway and aaaaagh the weigh fluctuation is real. Anyway, 99% I'm coming down with a nasty cold so feeling right miserable right now. And exhausted. And wanting to eat all of the food. As I'm not feeling well I'm giving myself a little bit of a break and aiming to eat at maintenance for the rest of this week (or until I feel better) but it's definitely playing havoc with my weight fluctuations...
Round summary:
Generally happy with the round overall. My weight have actually gone up, from beginning to end, but that's only fluctuations, so it really isn't anything to worry about. My general calorie intake vs burn has been good so I'm happy, even without the scale change I know I've been at a deficit.9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/4 - 177 - I think I'm back to 176.6. I'm going to visit my littles today, so I got up early to make them some macaroni and cheese. I started drinking my coffee before I realized that I hadn't weighed yet.
11/5 - 175.2 - Ooookay. I did eat macaroni and cheese and a salad with a burger my son cooked. Then a treat size bag of pretzels 😏 and a mini twix that my Grandson gave me from his Halloween pumpkin. He got SO excited telling me about trick or treating. He's two, so you can imagine.
11/6 - 177.4 - I guess my weight will just swing wildly through the 170's. Nothing to do but be patient and wait it out.
11/7 - 177.4
11/8 -176.4 - Well, well. I said that it would be a wild ride through the 170's. I looked back to the end of September, when my weight dropped to this decade. From 179.6 to 175.2 and all weights in between, multiple times in some cases. Twenty pounds ago, I knew the 170's would hang on for a while. Back in 2003 I weighed 175lbs on my way to 150lbs, although I looked about 150, lean and strong. I was a beast with exercise back then, 2 or 3 hours daily. I would love to be that strong again. Too many injuries.
11/9 - 175.4 - Went to bed at 5am. If not for me helping my girlfriend with a project once again, I'm sure I would have lain in bed awake all night anyway. A very soul wrenching day for me yesterday. She was who I needed to talk out my frustrations and anger with and keep my hands busy and mind distracted.
11/10 - 176.6
11/11 - 177.4 - over carbs (tomato soup & pretzels😏) and a hastily made late night keto hot chocolate.
11/12 - 177.4 - A world weary weekend for me and my family. For me, excesses of anger, stress, frustration, worry, crying. A night of fitful sleep, crying and prayer. Upon rising, prayers answered, in part, enough to relieve the worry I woke up with.
11/13 - 178.4 - Late evening eating pretzels. Chewing out the remainder of this stress event in my life.

11/04 - 190.6 - Water weight has been killing me the last week or so. Too much sodium. Will make a better effort to be more strict and accountable these next 10 days.
11/05 - 188.6 - Made really good food choices yesterday. Played and walked 18 holes of golf and bowled my Sunday night bowling league. Ended up over 16,000 steps on the day. Will try to make more good choices today and see if the water weight will continue to come off.
11/06 - 188.2 - Continuing the trend the right way. Over 10,000 steps. Had to abbreviate my lift yesterday because I got OKC Thunder tickets for last night's game. A little over on calories compared to my goal, but still comfortably in deficit. Will try to finish my lift today and get my cardio in as well.
11/07 - 185.6 - Boom! Thats what I'm talking about! Had a really good food consumption day and played 2 hours of full court basketball (burned over 1100 calories) and then went and finished my lift from Monday. Going to try to continue making good food choices (have a working lunch at work today with food provided so we will se how that goes). Onward and downward!
11/08 - 186.0 - Had a solid day. Got just over 10,000 steps and a nice lift in (Deadlifts, Lat Pull-Downs, Overhead Press, Bicep Curls and Pec Flys). Ate at a good deficit, even with 4 pieces of pizza at the working lunch. Sodium was a little higher than I like (about 4800 mg). Long distance cardio today and abs (my least favorite workout), but I will try to push through it and have a good eating day.
11/09 - 186.0 - Had a big meal for dinner last night (Mexican), but planned for it with a lighter lunch and breakfast, so I stayed within my calories. Ran 5 miles in 46:09 after dinner for my cardio workout for the day. Hoping to do well today with food as I have another work luncheon. Lifting day today (Squat, Bench, etc.).
11/10 - 188.6 - Terrible day. Had a 3 hour work meeting surrounded by my nemesis, Mexican food and sweets. 1st plate, I made good choices. It was plates 2-5 that were the problem 😔. No discipline whatsoever. Over 3000 calories for those 3 hours. Weighed when I got home and was 8.6 lbs heavier than when I left in the morning. So pissed at myself. But, I picked myself back up, stopped feeling sorry for myself and went and got my lifting workout in last night. Water weight will probably stick with me for a few days, but I'm gonna redouble my efforts instead of derailing my progress by having a pity party. Something for those of you that are just starting out or are not as far along as I have gotten yet, 1 bad meal or day doesn't define you and won't keep you from reaching your goal. Don't catastrophize a bad day. Keep moving forward! Any weight gain you see is temporary, unless you treat it like the world is now over because you were human and fall into a prolonged cycle of bad choices. Just get back on track and all will be well!
11/11 - 186.6 - Got back on track. Did a good job on calories and played almost 2 hours of full court basketball last night (burnt over 1100 calories). Still retaining a bit of water, but that's to be expected. Hoping to see continued progress over the last 2 days of the challenge.
11/12 - 187.4 - Did good on calories and made pretty good food choices. Went bowling. Rest day, so no formal workout. Have a long day at work today and it is snowing here, but will still try to go get workout in tonight.
11/13 - 187.4 - Long day at work. Did really good on calories and macros. Planned on going to lift after dinner, but I fell asleep and didn't wake up until 3:30 this morning. Got dressed, braved the 8 degree wind chill and drove to the gym and got my lift in before having to get ready for work this morning. Looking forward to the next 10 days!
Round 58: -1.8 Lbs.

I spend five hours yesterday at the dog show (BIG 5-day show here each Nov.) and walked miles. I used to show my dogs, and it was great to see lots of people I haven't seen since we moved away 9 years ago, and to smooch with lots of dogs. I got a thorough going over from Lily when I got home!

Bouncy bouncy - maybe partly due to weighing in 2 hours earlier than usual. I'm using the shift back to standard time to get myself out of bed earlier - we'll see if it sticks. I planted 100 bulbs yesterday, just in time for the rain.
11/06 - 134 - 1323 - 10-day ave 1230
Nothing to say.

I'm so glad I get to add back tomatoes next week - it's turned cold and I'm hungry for chili & spaghetti (not together
).

Very sad day yesterday as we said farewell to our lovely Labby girl, Lily. In her younger days she was my competition partner (earned advanced titles in obedience, rally, tracking) and volunteer therapy work with children in schools and the library. She was my husband's walking partner, a calendar girl, my cuddler, and a stand-up lie-down comedian, often upstaging me at book signings. She was healthy until 2 weeks ago - lymphoma is a monster. So I ate a bunch of extra calories (nuts & fruit) and thought my weight would be up this morning, but got a surprise. Maybe Lily ran it off for me. I know she's running now at the Rainbow Bridge with all the other dogs & cats & horses of my life.
11/09 - 133.6 - 1439 - 10-day ave 1315
Snow! Not much, but our first snow of the season. Makes me want nice hot soups and chili and stuff I can't have yet on this elimination/add back program. Soon! Have a good weekend, all.
11/10 - 133.6 - 1365 - 10-day ave 1316
Brrr - it's cold here today, but I'm planning to bundle up and go for a walk by the river anyway. I need to stop wimping out (though I'm still adjusting to northern Indiana after 8 years on the southern NC coast!). Or maybe I'll write, knit, paint, read, nap instead.
11/11 - 133.6 - 1364 - 10-day ave 1336
Acc. to MFP, my maintenance calories pre-exercise are ~1400, and acc. to SailRabbit, 1337, so somewhere in that range seems about right, and seems to click with what's happening this week (I haven't been exercising, and my stress level is high). Nice to know the calculators are fairly reliable. I've promised myself that I will get back to the exercise program this week.
11/12 - 134 - 1410 - 10-day ave 1361
This tiny uptick makes sense, and I've been treating this round as a sort of mini metabolism reset, raising my calories to around my maintenance level for 134 lb. Next round I plan to cut back, even with Thanksgiving thrown in there. Wanna lose those last 4 silly pounds between now and my BD in December.
11/13 - 133.6 - 1356 - 10-day ave 1372
Okie dokie, down a little again this round even at higher cals. Onward! I'm determined not to gain next round, despite TG yummies! See you at R59(!!!!).
