JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 66

OneRatGirl

New here, hoping a 10 day challenge will keep me on track, usually I give up because I have a bad day or two and don't want to log. Based in the UK.

SW on 01/18: 326lbs
GW: 234lbs (temp goal)
CW: 324lbs ish.

My goal is to be under 322 by the end of January as that's down to the round stone. Under would be nice but I'm not aiming lower.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23: 323.5lbs (-0.5) - my scale does 1/4lb increments. Weighed after breakfast instead of before, but I doubt it'll change much.
01/24: 321.75lbs (-1.75) - I suspect most of the drop is water, which I may need to regain. Still recovering from a bad stomach flu, so I'll just see how this settles.
01/25: 322.25lbs (+0.5) - I ate at my calorie goal yesterday, thought this would go up more. Think I'm whooshing a bit just being early on in the process, need to not get discouraged if I stall for a week or 2 due to it later on. Writing it down so I remember!
01/26: 321.5lbs (-0.75) - Quite happy with where I seem to roughly be sitting.
01/27: 320.25lbs (-1.25) - Still seem to be wooshing. Hard to not like it, I think when it tapers off will be the hard part. And I indulged in a lot of camembert and bread yesterday, I thought this may be quite bad today, even though I came in about 300 calories under target (total deficit of 800). The daily changes are very interesting.
01/28: 322.5lbs (+2.25) - Up a bit, I'm not worried, still puts me at about a 1.5lb loss since my last weigh in (I've left mine on the Monday default). Which is about right for fat loss. Woke up with my back very painful today, I have my suspicions it's not a coincidence. Hard part was getting proper breakfast instead of uhealthy snacks. I compromised with a couple of cookies. I know food won't actually fix the pain, and in the long run is causing it!
01/29: 324lbs (+1.5) - Bit annoying, I suspect getting up earlier has it up a bit (seems to keep going down until about midday), had gravy yesterday which is high in sodium, and most importantly my digestive system is still struggling to settle into a routine. I know though that I've stuck to my calorie goals and I will lose weight with time! There's a time this would've made me give up, now I'm sure keeping going is the only way to go.
01/30:322.5lbs - Think it'll be lower tomorrow again.

These were my goals LAST Round:
OSW - 213
CW - 178.6
RGW - 177.6
UGW – 135


Round 55 * -3.2 (I was sick)
Round 56 * +1.6
Round 57 * -1.8
Round 58 * -1.5
Round 59 * -0.04
Round 60 * -0.06

Round 63 * -0.03
Round 64 * -4.3 (WHAT????)
Round 65 * +3.3 (WHAT????)


01/23 181.9 This is getting to be too much. In 20 days I'm down 1 pound. There is a part of me that thought I'd skip this round. It's too depressing for me when I'm eating within calories and staying focused on exercise with no weight loss. I honestly had one bad calorie day on Sunday, every other day I have been within goal. I keep expecting a whoosh that isn't coming. I need to accept I'm here - not at 178 like I was for a few days. Old Kris tells me to give up and eat whatever I want and how much I want. Screw walking, screw the gym, forget the stupid C25K idea you're too old, fat, out of shape etc. I need to slap the crap out of Old Kris (OK), because that's what I've done every time. Keep me accountable people. I need this challenge.
01/24 181.9 Still here. I walked three freezing miles yesterday and fell on the stupid ice. I'm not walking today, my body is a little sore. I fell on ice twice this week, I think that's a sign. Plus they have temperature warnings for this afternoon, frost bite can set in within 15 minutes of exposure. A good sign to take the night off. My calories were low yesterday, didn't eat back my exercise calories but over on sodium. I guess that's why I'm stuck. On a positive note, have you guys tried the Green Giant Fresh bowls? I had the Teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds bowl last night with a chopped up chicken breast and it was delicious. Thank you again for the support yesterday. The picture below is from my walk yesterday. Stupid winter.
01/25 181.4 Down finally. No exercise, food within goal. It's so cold (overnight 3 degrees, -12 windchill) I couldn't even think about walking outside.
01/26 180.0 I posted this yesterday but somehow it didn’t save.
01/27 178.5 The whoosh that took 10 days??? Who knows who cares, I’m happy with it. Thanks again for the support. You people helped me get back here.
01/28 179.6 Here we go again. I wasn't high on sodium for once and I was under calories (not by a lot but still). I think it will be down tomorrow. As long as it's done by the end of the round. I was happy to be out on the trail yesterday. I got in three miles but even on Sunday was running late. Trying to get too much weekend into one day. Saturday was spent babysitting my 1 yr old niece and attending a friend's granddaughter's wheelchair basketball game. I thought the baby might enjoy the game, instead she spent the entire time watching two kids play in the stands beside us. Hahaha If anyone has the opportunity to go to one of these games, they're not high scoring but they are fun to watch. Our girl is 10 and a blocking fool. On man-to-man coverage she blocked her guy in the corner, I don't think he touched the ball once. Of course she did the same thing on offense so she didn't touch the ball either
01/29 178.6 It was down tomorrow! I found an indoor track to walk on when the polar vortex is attaching the midwest. It's not as good as walking outside, but better than a treadmill. I did day 1 of week 2 C25K last night. I can't seem to do it straight through but have to stop the app and walk for about 5 minutes than start up again. But I ran the 90 seconds without stopping each round. I was surprised and kind of delighted. The really shocking bit, for myself, is I did this "running" (I jog - I have asthma and breathing issues) on an indoor track surrounded by people. They all saw me and no one stopped pointed and laughed. I actually passed people. Tonight is weight machines night. I look forward to it each week because it's kind of calming.
01/30 177.1 WTH? I do not expect this to last but it feels pretty good right now. I did my weights last night and stayed within calories. I'm going to lunch today at a BBQ place. I will get burnt ends and eat lettuce the rest of the day to make my goal. I haven't had any in MONTHS and I live in Kansas City the HOME of burnt ends! I will stay withing calories but my macros will be up!

Last round I finally reached that elusive 140's decade that had been haunting/teasing me for the last couple of rounds. I hope to see a new low of 147/146 this round and continue to drop my 10 day average. I do have a 3 day family ski trip this weekend, so I am going to try and work around that and focus on my goals. I do not ski (not coordinated enough for that) but everybody else does. So I do a lot of reading, people watching, shopping, and drinking in the lodge. This round ends on a Friday, which is usually one of my lowest days of the week. So I am excited to see how this round goes.

Last 5 rounds:

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 -148.8 Back to normal after my weekend blip. Doing good today and have my lunch and water mapped out. DH and I have dinner plans with all 5 of our kids tonight. It is really hard to get everybody together anymore now that they are so busy with there own lives. We are going to Red Lobster so should be easy to stay in calories as long as I stay away from the rolls. 2 more days and we will be on vacation.
01/24 - 149.4 Up just a bit probably from dinner last night. I cheated and ate 1 of the roll (worth it), other than that did great. Work half day today, then my son has an orthodontist appt and my daughter has a cleaning at the dentist. Tonight packing and getting ready for out trip. Will weigh tomorrow, but the hubby said the scale is not coming with us, lol. So no weigh in after that until Monday. Hopefully it's not going to be to terrible.
01/25 - 149.4 didn't do great last night. Had a left over roll from Red Lobster and 2 beers. Lol, DH and I started our vacation a bit early. The rest of the day was good and I had a low calorie dinner. Leaving in about an hour and will try and update, but won't have weights. Hope everybody has a great weekend and hope my weight isn't to terrible on Monday.
01/26 - VACATION - no scale
01/27 - VACATION - no scale
01/28 - 153.4 totally expected. No where near enough water this weekend and extremely tired. Our weekend vaca was so busy and over so quick. Had fun though and glad we got to spend time with the family. Drove home last night and I could tell I was dehydrated. Although I did sleep great for the first time since Thursday. This bump will be gone by tomorrow. Water, clean food, and sleep tonight are my goals. Looking to finish this month and 10 day challenge off right this week. Looking for my 147.xxx to pop up on the scale!
01/29 - 150.8 did well yesterday, so I expected a pretty good water weight loss. Tomorrow I should be back down to normal weight. No alcohol at all this week until the Super Bowl is my goal. Would love to loose 1 more pound by the end of this round. I have 2 weeks before we leave for Vegas, so my goal is to be 145 when I get on that plane. We will see if it happens.
01/30 - 148.5 nice! I'm back down with an extra couple of ounces. Did really well yesterday, no alcohol, tons of water, and ate under calories, so expected it to come back down. Now if I can just stay on track for the next 2 days and finish strong.

About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 and, typical yoyo, currently bouncing back up over original goal weight of 130. Want to get back to 127-128.
Crept back to JGM10D quietly and somewhat inconsistently in Round 60 but now I am back (for reals!)

1/23 - 133.6 - yesterday (again) way over calories due to low-sleep-induced sugar, and way under step goal. Poor sleep leaves me depleted and with very sub-par ability to govern myself.
Today, however, is the start of a new round and time to remind myself that every day, every moment, is a new chance to choose.
1/24 - 134.4 - yesterday was pretty good, honestly a bit over maintenance but at least I logged and did not totally abandon sense. 5500 steps only though.
1/25 - 134.2 -
1/26 - 133.6 -
1/27 - didn't weigh - yesterday doubtless over on calories, but 13/13 hours active on my fitbit, 11K steps, walked 2 miles, and got on my road bike for 40 minutes and climbed a hill till I couldn't.
1/28 - 135.0 and deserved. Food has been all over the map but mainly, over. On the brighter side, got on my road bike again for 40 minutes, and went farther up that hill (before I couldn't).
1/29 -134.4 - yesterday under my .5-loss calorie goal, 11K steps including a short 20 minute run with our newish rescue dog. Run included stops for canine bodily functions, prevention of leash-hobbling, soothing said dog when other canines barked or coveys of quail took off nearby. So not a continuous run, just saying! Still fun.

1/30 - 133.0 - yesterday under my calorie goal, which was a major accomplishment as I woke up at 1AM and never really slept after that! To make it through a bad night without snacking was HUGE, and to make it through work including some off-hours from home, without overeating, was very big too. Sleep difficulties have been my weak point with discipline. I even got out for a significant walk with the dogger.

Resolute, this time I am going to stay in bounds with my food and continue to escalate activity. I have sore muscles from biking and running and a little time with the exercise ball, but quads and hammies are fine thanks to having done body weight squats and lunges to entertain myself over past weeks - if I ever needed proof that EVERY movement, every moment counts, that is it.

Round 66 – 161.8
Goal this round: To get out of the 160’s or at least consistently not above 160. Right now even ½ lb. per round would seem great. This is the same goal as last round but I made it down .4 so will keep working from there. My short term goal is to be down at least 6 lb. by the end of March. That is just .8/Round but for me would be great progress.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. (Not sure if this is possible for me but even well down in the 150’s would be better than where I am at now.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 – 162.8 – Good day yesterday with no LNS. Maybe a lag on the blip up I was expecting from Sunday.
01/24 – 162.8 – Good day and good workout at the gym. Maybe a drop in a day or so.
01/25 – 161.8 – Here we are back at start finally. Unfortunately had a funeral yesterday (very elderly father of a friend) and the usual food afterwards. Kept it minimal but have no idea of the cals. and am sure it put me over. I guess we’ll see.
01/26 – 162.4 – Got a call during supper, finished later and, of course, ate more and did not track. Not likely too wildly over. So resolve for today is to track all. Such a pain but just have to get over that.
01/27 – 162.6
01/28 – 162 - Felt hungry just as I was heading to bed last night. In the past I would have thought, “Better eat something or I won’t be able to sleep.” What a lie. Slept great and actually stomach feels better than when I cave to LNS.
01/29 – 162.2
01/30 – 162.4 - No gym today, had a tooth out on Monday (turned out to be quite easy although it was a very back molar) so thought I'd give the exercise a break. Planning some cleaning instead.

Round 65 = -0.5

1/23: 235.0. 2250 calories. Walked for 90 minutes.
1/24: 235.0. 2200 calories. 40 minute workout and 60 minute walk.
1/25: 235.0. 2100 calories. 40 minute workout and 80 minute walk. My weight is really consistent right now. I probably need to drop my calories below 2000 to see a significant downward trend. I'm trying to slowly get back into diet mode. I'm puttting a lot of effort into physical activity, but the diet part is still a struggle.
1/26: 235.5. Probably the result of too much sodium yesterday. 2200 calories today. 90 minutes of walking.
1/27: Didn't weight today. 2150 calories. 30 minutes of lifting weights and 60 minutes of walking.

Goal: As a furloughed employee I didn't really how much of a challenge it would be for me to get my water in without the daily structure of work, so my goal for this round is to figure out a method that will work for me to get my water in while I am off work.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23--214.9 I am going to try a new plan to get my water in...I have a pitcher that I am going to fill with water and I'll place it on the table so that I can see the pitcher throughout the day. Hopefully, this will remind me to drink my water. Today is run day, hopefully the rain lets up soon. Yoga tonight.
01/24--214.9 The water pitcher idea from yesterday worked! Even though I increased my water intake yesterday, I also did a lot of mindless snacking yesterday, so I need to work on that today. Finished w2d2 of c25k yesterday; however, I woke up this morning with some pain around the knee, so I don't know if I will be going to the gym today. I think I will do some stretching/foam rolling and if the knee feels better I will go to the gym later this evening, if no change then I will just skip the gym today.
01/25--214.9 Third day in a row for this weight. Finished w2d3 today, so far so good.
01/26--214.0 There's the drop, let's see if it will hold. Going out for long walk with my dog group.
01/27--214.2 Did over 6 miles of walking with my dog group yesterday, my legs were so sore this morning that I did not want to go to the gym, but I forced myself to go and while it wasn't pretty, I did my weightlifting. Relaxing for the rest of the day to get myself ready for a return to work tomorrow.
01/28--214.5 Back at work today. Didn't want to, but when I got home did W3D1, it felt great. Did some stretching and foam rolling when I got home. Tomorrow is weightlifting, sadly now that the furlough is over I will be up at 4:45 am in order to get to the gym before work. Ugh
01/29--214.5 My watch alarm did not go off this morning so I missed my morning weightlifting. What's ironic is that I was upset when I didn't wake up at 4:45 this morning even though last night I was dreading getting up that early. Now I have to figure out whether I go to the gym later tonight or try again tomorrow morning, I'm leaning towards going tonight but I will have to go late enough that I miss most of the evening crowd.
01/30--214.0 Even though I missed my early morning workout yesterday I ended up going to the gym later yesterday evening. Of course there was a part of me that didn't want to go after being all warm and cozy at home, but then at 7:30 I just told myself that I have to go, so I got up off the couch and went. I had a great workout and there was hardly anyone there at that time, even less then at 4:45 in the morning, so I think for now, especially at this time of year when it's so much harder for me to get out of bed that early, I'm going to start going to the gym in the evening. Tonight is w3d2 of c25k and then yoga.

01/23 - 156 -- Yeah. The cake yesterday. I'm mostly in a better frame of mind today and TOM left, finally, after a two week visit!
01/24 - 154.5 -- Here we go again. Down below start weight. Now to see if I can end below start weight!
01/25 - 152.5 -- Whoosh! I feel I deserve it, but trying not to get too excited given all the ups and downs lately.
01/26 - 151.5 -- Still holding my breath. Been back on the keto train after the cake wreck....
01/27 - 151 -- Clearly something is working right...Although I guess this has happened before, with wild bounces followed by a drop, followed by more bounces. This challenge definitely helps me ride the roller coaster!
01/28 - 151.5 -- Good day yesterday, so no worries with the slight bounce up.
01/29 - 149.5 -- Being good this month is finally starting to show! So excited to see this decade! Expecting a little bit of bounce. (I'm writing this now so I don't freak out when it happens!) Maybe my mini goals can stay after all!

01/30 - 149 -- YAY! Hit by January mini-goal!! We had a no snow snow day yesterday. They cancelled school Monday afternoon because they thought we were going to get rain turning to snow overnight, followed by a hard freeze til noon. It was a proper Alabama snow day, with no snow and low temps of 33 (although the "real feel" was supposedly 22). People in the south have a hard time predicting these things, and a real fear of getting it wrong since the state only has about 3 plows!

ROUND 66 (Round 12 for me)
5’5” 66 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 135 lb.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-65 = 36.4 lb.
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018. My arthritis hip and shoulder pain have decreased significantly since my second week of Keto. Staying within calorie limits is easy enough, but not exceeding my carb limit is still tricky for me. I check my ketone level with a KetoMojo meter a couple of times a week to make sure my numbers are good. Some of my NSVs: feeling less self-conscious, wedding band fits, smaller clothing, a happy husband, and inspiring said husband to work a little harder on quitting his cigarette habit. The closer I get to my goal, the more excited and motivated I become! Don’t expect me to disappear when I reach maintenance. I like you folks, and I really appreciate and enjoy your company!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/23 143.4 (sigh) Easy come, easy go. I’m up almost 2 pounds from my weigh-in yesterday. If I’d gone back to bed, I wonder how long it would have taken to go down? Oh well, I had to go to work and a foot doctor appointment this afternoon. I’m less than 10 lb. from my goal, and I will get there. It may not go down tomorrow. It’s cold, and I’m treating myself to a glass of dry red wine. I prefer sweet, but this is pretty good. It’s probably good because I’m not used to sugar anymore. As long as I’m ready for our cruise in April, I’ll be happy. I found out my daughter and her husband are signed up for the same cruise (not planned), and my granddaughter called from Kansas, very excited, to say they’ve decided to take her out of school that week so she can go! We love cruising with and spending time with my granddaughter and took her to Alaska last summer. She has a boyfriend now, so I expect her to start spending less time with me, and over 700 miles between us doesn’t help, either. Please excuse me, but I’m using these daily posts as a journal and keeping copies. Kill two birds with one stone kind of thing?
01/24 141.0 Yesterday’s gain is gone, so I’m glad I didn’t stress over it. I’ve corrected my priorities after someone in the Christian MFP group I belong to asked if we were more diligent about logging in MFP than we were about our Bible study. I found myself guilty, so Bible study is now done with breakfast rather than logging in here first. I played cards with friends today, and I took Thor for a 5 mile walk this afternoon. It was a very pleasant day.
01/25 141.4 Hmm…. it’s up just a little, so I’m still good. Last night, I was pleased to discover I’m already doing better, and more, pushups and sit-ups. I’m getting stronger! I hoped to go to lunch or leave work early today, but lots of folks are ready to complete their tax returns. I ate two boiled eggs and a little slice of cheddar for breakfast and didn’t get another chance to eat until I arrived home this evening. Actually, our break room has lots of candy and other carb-laden snacks, but I know better than to give in. I made it through the day!
01/26 140.4 I slept in this morning, then had a busy day. Thor and I got in a 6.4 mile walk, and my husband and I grocery shopped and had dinner at Denny’s this evening. It was good—the senior tilapia with salad, broccoli, and squash—all keto approved. I still have to get in my sit-ups and pushups before bedtime.
01/27 140.6 My walks are still taking time to pay off, but I can wait. I stayed up late last night, then rose early this morning for church. I’m about to take my Sunday nap, then I’ll try a couple of new recipes. It’s nice having meals I can just heat up during the week, especially on days I work.
01/28 140.6 I’m a little stuck, and I didn’t get a chance to walk today. It would have been a great day to walk, but I had too many clients at work. We do what we have to do. I made a great vegetable (cabbage, spinach, celery, Ro-Tel tomatoes) beef (top round steak) soup in my pressure cooker this evening. I didn’t try to log it because I was in a hurry and didn’t take time to record the recipe and calculate the number of servings. My husband likes it, too, so that makes it a winner. I will complete my pushups and sit-ups before I go to bed. It seems funny, but I enjoy doing them. The cold front has arrived this evening. The wind sounds fierce, and I’m so grateful I don’t live up north. God bless those of you who do, and I pray you can stay warm!
01/29 141.6 Okay, this makes me a little angry. I don’t like going up and down (only down). I went to an appointment to adjust my orthotics this morning, and I need to wear them a few times before taking a long walk. I had to get up early this morning, so I took a nap. I leave for singing group practice in a few minutes. I know the last few pounds are usually the hardest, so I’m trying to be patient.
01/30 140.2 That’s more like it. I could have gone for a walk today—it’s not nearly as cold as it is in the northern states, but it’s still cold for me. I have a sore calf and sore foot, probably both from my orthotics, so that’s my other excuse. I feel bad for those of you suffering with the bitter cold to my north. You’re in my prayers.
I know this is off topic, but there’s something heavy on my heart today. I’m praying, with a broken heart for healing of the spreading cancer of immorality in our nation. New York’s decision to allow abortion up to the birth date of children, and legalize killing the children if they are born alive, is sickening. Virginia has followed suit, and Rhode Island is considering doing the same. Already, in New York, it’s reported more children are aborted than are born. How can this evil exist in a nation founded on Godly principles? I'l try not to mention it again, but it's so disturbing.

Girl - I had them and they were delicious! Lunch put me over 800 calories even though I had a spinach salad as my side dish. Those beefy, fatty, tender bites of heaven were worth every calorie.

01/23. 148
01/24 146.8. Good to see a wee drop. I've been going over daily Cal's by about 60. I figure it will take me a week to adjust. Concentrating on getting the nutrients right, not so easy when daily calouries is 1200. But I'm definitely eating healthier and that's exactly what I need!
01/25 146.8. Going strong, managed to have only one chocolate almond 😃
01/26. 145.5 It's been a good day...staying strong
01/27. 145.5. Admitted to hospital.
01/28. Hospital food is yummy! Couldn't resist the desert or the extra piece of toast. How can you when it's placed in front of you.😄
01/29. 145.5. At least I didn't gain. I've had a good day diet wise and stayed well within my calouries.
01/30 145.5 I am unable to exercise but hopefully have another drop soon.
01/31. 145.5 lb. 66kg. A bit discouraged that I haven't dropped a wee bit more. Though not being able to exercise, maybe I'm expecting too much. So I'm going to try at getting 1 lb or 500gm off per 10 days.

01/23 143 Late posting but I'm going to try not to forget a day this round 🙂. Still grying to focus on IF, for the most part have done well. Also could do better with water intake. Good luck friends!
01/24 143 Tonight we are going out to eat to a wing place, so there may be a temporary gain tomorrow.
01/25 143.5 I expected a little gain, had a cocktail and wings last night and wing chips. Was so good though!
01/26 144 LNS got to me last night, I didn't just snack, I had pancakes! Drinking lots of water today.
01/27 144 Well I'll never reach my goals if I keep eating like I have this weekend. We had fast food last night. Going to the grocery store today because I'm out of a lot of healthy foods, that should help for sure. Time to make things better this round. My husband has taken a lot of work off lately just to burn some of his vacation time, and it's so much harder for me to stay on track when he's home. He goes back to work tomorrow, so this coming week should be better.
01/28 143.5 Was under a few hundred calories yesterday.
01/29 143 back where I was at the beginning of the round.
01/30 142.5 Ok I'll take it.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/22 162.3

01/23 162.6 Hoping to get back on track today with food and eating. Last month I was on a juice fast for three days during my time of the month, so it was hard to see what the weight fluctuations looked like. I started today so will start tracking that going forward since I already can feel myself retaining water more than usual.
01/24 161.6 Had a great day yesterday, but all day today I have had a splitting headache so was unable to go the gym. I have been drinking a lot of water and did stay in my calorie allowance, so hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow and for this headache to leave.
01/25 161.7 Thankfully, I woke up with no headache so already starting off today on a better note. Planning on 45 minutes at gym on cardio machine and 10,000+ steps.
01/26 161.3 Tomorrow and Monday I am going to try to exercise 60 minutes to make up for missing today's 45 minute exercise session. Stayed in calorie count, but didn't get step or exercise count because I had an off site meeting today.
01/27 160.8
01/28 161.2 I meal prepped lunch for the first time. It was the first time I used my instant pot to cook chicken breast and it was easy. I have been unsure of the machine up until now, since I am only cooking for myself and my husband and some things seem to take as long as cooking via another method. This was relatively quick, especially with multiple portions.
01/29 160.8 I am so close to having a 5 pound loss in January! Yesterday, I stayed in my calorie goal, but I was not a perfect eater-- with a lot of the calories being from snacking. I think I need to do more meal planning in February. What made the juice cleanse from Pressed Juicery easy for me was the convenience of having the meals ready for me and the calories were 1340, so I could walk my 10,000 steps goal and still be at my 1200 calorie limit. Hopefully, meal planning and prepping will help with the urge to snack.
01/30 160.2 Pretty good day yesterday and happy to see this number. I haven’t been under 160 in two years, so that will be a big milestone for me.

Round 65 SW 186.8
Goal this round: finish at below 183.x

01/22 well I didn't weigh bc I was afraid to get on the scale after vacation, flying, and airport food!

01/23 186.8 only up one lb from vacation, so I consider it a win. I had a hard time getting back in the groove yesterday, I hope today will be easier. I did go to yoga which felt great after a long day of uncomfortable travel. Need to hydrate and veggies today. I already have some meals portioned out so that will make it easier.

01/24 185.8

01/25 185.8

01/26 186.6 stayed close to plan today. chose rice as my main grain for the day with my poke bowl, but only got 1/2 cup rice and the rest salad greens and had the left overs for dinner.

01/27 188.0 well hello, water weight!

01/28 186.8 almost gone. leg day at the gym.

01/29 186.8 so sore from yesterday! yoga to stretch it out.

01/30 187.2 still sitting here. my trend line is actually going up right now. Maybe tomorrow I can see a drop that will correct that. I did have a super hungry day yesterday probably because I've been hitting the gym hard, so that makes sticking to my plan a lot tougher. It's like the reptile brain turns on "must have FUEL!!!" but the choices I made were lean proteins and only 2 cookies. I also really wanted some wine with dinner, but turned that down too.Hope tomorrow is easier.

01/22: 124.0 Today was a fair day.
01/25: 123.4 I ate about 600 calories in candy instead of lunch. Ha. Love a good sabotage.
01/26: 123.4 I need to keep in mind - "Just give me 10 days" next time I 'want' to eat candy instead of a real meal. Another poster mentioned something similar above, I have started to either feel I deserve to eat whatever I want or I am at an ok weight so therefore I can afford to eat poorly thinking it won't affect me too negatively. Or it could be something else entirely. I must stop doing it. Stop doing for the next 7 days would be a good start! I will.
01/27: 122.8 Lazy Sunday. It was a good day.
01/28: 122.8
01/29: 123.4 I am pleased that I have been logging this week. I have been in maintenance for some time and it can be easy to get “slack” when I stop logging. You know what you know but it doesn’t always mean you practice what you know. Ha. 10 days chipmunk.

@Winner_in_life - I love rewarding myself with clothing. I need some new long leggings; my pairs fit me until I start running, when they start to fall down. Very frustrating when playing netball in the cold!

@jaccimc63 Mind over Matter! Great NSV on the choice to walk instead of that candy bar. I had a similar thing happen today at work but luckily I had a bowl full of cut up yellow/orange bell peppers. I ate the ENTIRE bowl (2 peppers), but thank goodness it wasn't an entire bowl of candy. Yikes!

@euronorris First off, let me say, your co-worker is an A**hat. Shame on him. "May his crotch become infested with fleas and his arms too short to scratch." You do what you gotta do for you! We are here for you!
Secondly, I cannot imagine Chicago's temperatures. My cousin Terry lives in North Dakota and his wife said it was -20F and that was not the windchill. I really cannot imagine that!!
