Round 71 (3rd for me)
Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4
Round70 TL -3.6 pounds 356.4 - 352.8
OSW: 382
RSW: 352.8
UGW: 160
03/14 - 347.8 Umm...what!?! Five pounds lost overnight? I had my husband double check the scale because he had already weighed and then I weighed myself again. Hopefully the downward trend continues, but I won’t be surprised by gains in the following days. My goals are to stay on track and continue to fight my cold.
03/15 - 347.2 So it appears that my scale wasn’t horribly wrong yesterday and the downward trend continues. I’m feeling much better this morning and I’m already at pre sick steps for the morning. I might wait until Sunday to restart workouts. I’m very cautious with chest colds due to having a history of getting bronchitis. Today is my mother in law’s birthday and I’m hopeful of staying on track.
03/16 - 353 Frustrating but not surprising. I didn’t think I had lost 5 pounds overnight and I guessed that I should have been closer to my round start weight. Anything over that is from the bread and sodium from last night’s dinner. I’m sure the next couple of days will see my weight average out between the two numbers. My nsv yesterday was getting in all the steps I wanted plus a few extra.
03/17 - 353 Just waiting on the woosh down.
03/18 - 352.4 That’s a start. I believe that one of the reasons I’m finding this weight set mentally difficult is this is the weight I was when I last tried to lose over four years ago. I bounced between this and 350 and at the time I thought I was really trying. Looking back I know that wasn’t the case. I would have a cheat meal which would turn into a cheat day which turned into a cheat week. I never made any true or lasting changes. I keep having to remind myself that this time I’m serious and that this very minor hiccup is water and that I’m honestly tracking and not falling back into old habits. I know that I’ve got this and that I can do it.
03/19 - 351.4 I spent part of my day figuring out some of my lack of motivation and lack of activities for stress release. I’ve been staying in calories, but it’s been harder every day. I now have a plan in place that I think will suit me well and if not I’ll fix whatever is broken.
03/20 - 350 And another woosh down. I’m sure the quick drops will even out again here soon, but it’s nice to see right now. My nsv yesterday was taking a walk outside. It wasn’t far, but it was further than I would have walked in my house.
03/21 - 350 Not unexpected after a couple of bigger drops so I’m pretty happy there overall. I’m looking forward to getting solidly in the 40’s here soon because everything under this weight is lower than I’ve been in about eight years.
03/22 - 350.6 Not bad considering my dinner choices last night.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 96.9 Well that's a nice drop, no running etc at the moment as I am suffering with a viral infection. Sinuses are on fire and I feel like I'm going to cough up a lung soon! On the plus side I have zero appetite and it just tastes like cardboard when I eat…
03/15 96.7 nice to see the scale go down. Expecting a small bounce up over the weekend, I'm not eating properly and I haven't run since Tuesday… but it will be temporary! Feeling much better apart from the tail end of a really irritating tickly cough…
03/16 96.8 I took a maintenance day yesterday and just relaxed a bit! Planning to take another today. But hoping to be back out running by Monday. Surprised my weight didn't go up though as I had wine and snacks, guess there'll be a bounce somewhere down the road?!
03/17 97.1 nyeh, Cheese Board! It'll pass!
03/18 dnw completely forgot!
03/19 95.9 a week of a viral infection done, now it's time to get back to work! 17 days until graduation! I can't wait! I worked hard for my master's so I feel like I deserve my day out!
03/20 95.2 think I was right to take out my implanon.... 10 days later and my weight is dropping very easily!
03/21 95.7 under calories yesterday but I did have a kebab!!! So I'm guessing the salt will be the culprit here!!! It'll drop off in a day or 2 at most. I have a run tomorrow morning then hitting the gym on sat and sun for spinning so I'll sweat it out!!! I was just feeling so sorry for myself as this viral infection is just not letting up, I am sooooo tired of coughing and blowing my nose!!!!
03/22 dnw was up half the night coughing so just completely forgot to weigh this morning! Feeling very sorry for myself now with this cough so I've prelogged all my meals to try and avoid a sugar binge!

I ran last night and took two walks with my dog yesterday, lots of exercise, I'm a little sore today! Hoping tomorrow I'm back down, would be nice to have lost something this week...
I work all day today and then have a concert tonight. Meeting friends before the concert for food and drinks, gonna check out the menu online and make a choice before I go and my plan is to drink soda water with lime, since I had beer with dinner last night. 👍

03/14 177.1 Stayed withing calories and walked 4 miles last night. It was 64 degrees and sunny after being SUPER rainy all morning. It was a great walk and a good dinner after. I had hoped to see something a little lower this morning but I guess not.
03/15 176.9 Sure I saw 175 but only briefly, damn flirty scale. Walked 3.5 on the treadmill at the gym. Made sure I was under the HGTV screen because at least it's something interesting to watch while I'm walking hooked up my headphones and boom - the channel goes out. Talk about first world problems. I should be able to walk outside this afternoon at 47 and sunny. Happy Friday all! Here's to good choices this weekend.
03/16 No Scale but I walked Friday night and Saturday.
03/17 177.7 I hate this weight. I've been here for approximately 20 days and another 10 days at an even higher weight. Spent the day babysitting my niece who was cranky, she is not enjoying being weaned.
03/18 177.5 I feel like I need to change things up. I have been at this same basic weight for a month. It's super frustrating. I need to think about what to do. Keeping my head down and doing the same thing isn't working and it's time to address that. I spent yesterday going thru all my winter clothes and donated 2 bags. It occurred to me that I probably have no summer/spring clothes that fit me. Lots of big comfy tshirts but I don't know if I have a single pair of capris or shorts that will fit. I know it's just March but shopping season never ends
03/19 No Scale Traveling again. I decided to eat maintenance for a few days to give myself a break. Still exercising and tracking but I set my calories at 1700 and I'm not going to freak out about it. I got in 3 miles last night though not on the cool trail. I'm going to try to do the cool trail tomorrow on the drive home. Tonight is weights, I upped several weights last week and was a little sore, we'll see how it goes tonight.
03/20 No Scale Meetings this morning, then driving home with a planned stop along the Katy Trail for a quick walk. If you're in Missouri you should check it out, if I had more time I'd try other stops.
03/21 179.1 Sodium and two days of driving has upped this number. Got in 3.2 miles and was very happy to spend an hour outside on the first day of spring walking along the Missouri river before it's too high to do so safely. Eating at maintenance was harder than I thought. I'm giving myself until Monday. I was, with exercise within calories yesterday but it was a close thing. An old friend is staying with me for a few days and we went to dinner last night after the long drive home.
03/22 179.1 I didn't expect anything so this is what it is. No exercise yesterday, calories within goal. I'm going to try and enjoy the weekend. I've got I-don't-want-to-workitis so badly today it's all I can do to sit in my office. Add to that my boss is out of the office and it's sunny and warm. I predict that I will NOT work until 5:00 today. I'm guessing 3:30ish and a long walk, my brain needs it.

@Tracie_Lord WHOO HOO! Look at you go!! Keep up the great work!!
@jlbtnc Losing 15# in your first 3 rounds is incredible. Give your body a chance to figure out what’s going on. Stick to it, you will continue losing if you are patient.4 -

Reasonably good end to the round, happy with that, especially with shark week turning up a couple of days early this month, so cravings kicked in over the weekend. Onwards and downwards!
14/03
Had a maintenance day yesterday on account of shark week, managed to squash in a pizza and a muffin. Much lighter day today will be grabbing a chicken salad sandwich from deli for lunch and having veggie curry this evening. Off to Denmark in the morning, taking advantage of the long weekend (St Patricks Day bank holiday)so won't be back here til Tuesday. I'll weigh in, in the morning as normal but won't be around to update it as I use my work computer for this challenge. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
20/03
Had a lovely time in Denmark, lots of walking, exploring museums and the local area in Aarhus. Back to work today, so plenty more walking and plan to do some strength training this evening.
21/03
Happy Friday Eve! It's only 08:50 and I've already had a fairly active morning - Cycled 3km into work, walked to/from rowing training (around 2km) and rowed on the river for 1 hour including lifting the boats in and out. Planning to go for a walk at lunch time, leaving the bike at work so I can walk home this evening to get my steps up (Have signed up for another stepbet so need to be hitting around 12500 per day) and then another walk to get some groceries. I have a lovely salad for lunch (not a rabbit food type salad, it's about 850 calories)and then I have some pre-prepped Thai Spiced Peanut Butter Chicken for dinner with some stirfry veg and broccoli.
22/03
Just a quick update today as busy with some online shopping (payday and Friday all at once yay!)

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14--212.9 I realized that I need to really work on my evening snacking. I don't know if it's boredom, tiredness or something else, but I want to be really conscious of why I snack so much in the evening even when I'm not hungry. What's weird is that I'm not even snacking on junk food or any specific type of food. It's going to be hard, but I think it should be interesting. Trainer tonight.
03/15--212.5 Ok, yesterday evening I tried something new to help curb my snacking. I had my dinner and then about 1/2 an hour later I realized that I was still hungry, but instead of reaching for a snack I decided to have another serving of my dinner. After the 2nd serving the hunger was gone and when about an hour later my husband asked if I wanted any of the popcorn he made I said no when I realized that I wasn't hungry. I didn't snack for the rest of the evening and in the end ate less calories than I've eaten over the prior couple of days when I was snacking. This has made me realize that I'm probably not eating enough for dinner and when I get hungry in the evening and start snacking it's hard for me to stop. So, I think from now on I'm going to eat more at dinner which will curb my hunger during the rest of the evening and hopefully I won't even start snacking. Run tonight.
03/16-212.5. Kept with the larger dinner last night and there was no snacking. Finished w7d2...8 more days to my 5k. Went to the gym this morning to do some weightlifting. Have to work on getting my water in today...it's so much harder for me on the weekend.
03/17--212.9 Well, plan to drink more water yesterday was a fail. I also realized that my plan to eat more at dinner to reduce snacking works much better on days that I work because I will snack all day if I'm at home. I think I may just accept the fact that I will probably be eating at maintenance on the weekends and just not worry about staying in deficit. Today I finished W7D3...it was an absolutely perfect run...one more week until my 5k. I bought a sofa today and did some errands. Drinking more water today than yesterday so that is a plus.
03/18--212.5 Up and down and up and down. No workout/run planned today, but the weather is supposed to be great today, high 60's and sunny, that I might need to take the dog out after work for a long walk.
03/19--212.0 Had a tough workout today, trainer switched up some exercises and I definitely felt it.
03/20--211.4 Large dinner yesterday worked again with curbing my evening snacking. I was feeling stressed out yesterday about 2 hours after my dinner, I was studying for a test, and I wanted to snack, but then I stopped myself when I realized I wasn't hungry. So instead of starting to snack I had 2 pieces of dark chocolate. I won't have time to run after work today so instead of missing my run I am planning to run at lunch today, something I haven't done in years.
03/21--212.0 Went out for a run during lunch yesterday and finished W8D1...3 more days until the 5k. The run was great. It was a lot warmer than I thought it would be during the lunchtime run, but I was still able to finish. I had homemade pizza for dinner and instead of adding another slice for a larger dinner I decided to have a salad. Only snack after dinner yesterday was 1 piece of dark chocolate. My sister-in-law and I are back in a walking challenge, she already has 8k more steps than I do, so after my trainer session today I am going to take the dog out for a long walk.
03/22--212.5 I am so sore after the PT session yesterday, but I still took the dog out for a long walk later in the evening. Did a little more snacking yesterday than I had done over the past couple of days even though I ate a larger dinner. Even though I snacked, I realized that I wanted a snack because I was still hungry and not because of some other emotion, so that was definitely a positive. When I look back to yesterday I think the weightlifting yesterday made me extra hungry. Since I was hungry I don't have an issue that I actually snacked yesterday after dinner, instead my issue was that my snack wasn't healthy and if it had been any earlier in the evening I probably would have continued snacking. So my plan is to now preplan my snacks ahead of time for the days that I weightlift.

03/14 234.8 Happy to have found this challenge. Finishing a vacation and feeling that I could have enjoyed it more and been more active if I were healthier and lighter. Was not able to be as physically active with my kids as I would've liked. It is no fun being the least fit person in a group.
03/15 234.6 Overnight drive last night. Energy level was really up and down today. Not caught up on sleep yet. Not well hydrated.
03/16 234.6 . Listened to a guided meditation for weight loss on Insight Timer before going to sleep last night.
03/17 240.1 Decided to start weighing and posting at night. Figured weights may fluctuate more, but it is more convenient for me. Depressed about vacation being over. Should be much easier for me to eat less this week though, due to return to normal life.
03/18 236.8. Back to work, boohoo. Very busy and stressful day. Didn't sleep well last night and had a terrible neck/headache all night and today. Finally took some Aleve and it helped tremendously.
Don't know why it takes me so long to think of taking a pain reliever.
Did a yoga DVD and the whole family participated (6 year old took a break to eat some Rice Krispies). Back felt a lot better after.
Still feeling dehydrated all day.
This was the most “normal” day since the start of the challenge.
03/19 235.2 . Did not have a big enough dinner last night. Got a headache again today. Definitely still overdoing it on sugar.
03/20 236.2 My aunt had a stroke 10 days ago. My mom put her on the phone tonight for a few seconds. It was wonderful! Family history of stroke and heart attack are something to start taking seriously. I want to live my best life possible.
03/21 236.8 . Today is my Friday. Hoping to get outside a lotthis weekend.
This app has become unusable for me most of the time. It just won't load anything in the Community tab. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it.
I never use the App, always log in using the internet and web page - it's stable x
I use both, but there are just certain things more easier to do on laptop, tablet or PC and the challenges and message boards are not APP friendly to me. So I use my laptop and PC at work for the message boards and challenges for sure.5 -

# 7 for me
GW end of round – 372
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)
Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 378.4 (-0.4) – My goal this round is to focus, focus, focus! No more red rounds! My goal is to lose 4 to 6 pounds per round. If I don't lose that much no worries – I am not beating myself up. But I am determined not to have any more red rounds! I can do that at least! So to help me do that, I reset my ticker yesterday to my 2019 start weight, which I am over by 5.4 pounds. I have really been struggling but I am going to try to come out of this slump because life is just not getting any easier as we struggle in these trying times. My goal this year is lose 50 to 75 pounds and to do that I am really going to have to buckle down. My ticker is set for 75 but I will gladly take 50 plus in a heartbeat and nothing less than that for sure. I think having something already on the ticker is not helping me so I am trying something new. I have to keep trying and trying until I get it right!
My Dad is doing pretty good considering he is in hospice in a nursing home. In February it has been over year. Life goes on, so I have to find a way to make me a priority also. Baby steps
I am also working on increasing my sleeping hrs per night. I am happy to say this week I have slept 3 days since Monday over 7 hrs! I have not slept 7 hrs 3 nights in a week in a loooong time, so I am proud of that and I am going to try to keep it going because this helps me for sure.
I am really going to try to check in here more often too. That too will help me because I will be more mindful. I will read something to inspire, etc. The rounds I lost -- I checked in more also. Even if I don't have time to comment every day, I want to log my weight at least.
03/15 378.4 (-0.0) – Went over my points but did my exercise and got my 7000 steps. Short on sleep but feeling great and back on it today. Pre-planning for weekend so I can maintain or even lose a pound or more. We will see. I usually make my goal for weekend to maintain or not to gain. If I do that I am doing good. Past weekends I have blown my whole week on the weekend. Now I can maintain and even lose. I may go up one day and come right back down the next because I try not to have 2 or 3 bad days if you include Friday.
03/16 374.8 (-3.6) - yesterday I resisted fast food after visiting my Dad in nursing home. Came home, had some eggs and grits. I also decided this morning to switch WW plans. I going to online only which will save me $25 a month since I am not going to meetings anyway but I love their points program. Right now the meetings are not in the plan for me and I rather use God, family, MFP and my therapist who I see Tuesday for my support system for now. That is my new plan for now. Giving up is not an option for me!
03/17 373.6 (-1.2) - I got in my 7000 steps yesterday. Since I was over my WW points yesterday, I was surprised I was down today. I think I may be up tomorrow. Not sure since I did eat a lot of protein and hardly any carbs. Back on track a little bit today. But I know I will be down overall this weekend for sure -- so a win win.
03/18 372.6 (-1.0) - This week has been awesome. Since last Monday I have lost over 8 pounds! Finally consistently going down. I have revamped my game plan going forward and feeling good. Now to just keep the consistency going is the real challenge. But I am going to do it! Glad to finally wipe out the gain for this year and see the 1 pound on my ticker. I got in another 7 hours of sleep last night too. Sleep is a key factor for me. It helps me stay focused. I can definitely tell the difference when I get in those zzz’s!
03/19 369.6 (-3.0) - Now to stick the new decade! Yay! I know this is going to slow down but I am going to enjoy every minute of it for now and try to keep it going as long as I can. lol
03/20 376.2 (+6.6) - I had 2 items yesterday with a lot of salt and I did overeat but not to the tune of 7 pounds. So we will see tomorrow. I sorta got back on track today. Had a salad for dinner tonight and resisted fast foods but had sweets at work. So I will see what my buddy says in the morning. Nite nite.
03/21 372.4 (- 3.8) Yeah!! Got my 7000 steps and 6 hrs of sleep. Over my points but no fast foods. Had a salad for dinner and drunk plenty of water to get rid of that salt. I saw 360’s this morning. I am really shooting for 369 by Saturday. If not I will still be at my goal for the end of this challenge. I had an awesome session with my therapist Tuesday too. She is very good.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
3/13 129.0
#############
3/14 128.0 Didn’t got to Greek as planned last night. Going to Golden Corral tonight with friends.
3/15 128.0 I plan to enjoy homemade chicken broth today. Think I overdid the treadmill yesterday. I actually WANT to get back to where I was 10 years ago but my body is not so sure.
3/16 128.0 Finally made it to Great Greek and ate 1/2 my large Greek Salad with gyro. I was stuffed. Also walked a lot. Got over my step goal.
3/17 128.5. Finished my salad for brunch yesterday, made Alfredo chicken and zoodles for a friend’s memorial potluck. Don’t know what I ate that made me feel so bloated! UGH!
3/18 128.5 May not have had enough water yesterday. Neighbor dog woke us before 5:30 this morning.
3/19 128.5 Lots of water and 50 minutes on the treadmill yesterday
3/20 128.5 Only 35 minutes on treadmill yesterday but went a little faster. Art Quilts and community bingo today. Meeting Amy at the gym between!
UPDATE: Migraine - didn’t go to the gym. Came home and took meds I. hope that I will feel like going to bingo. Several people today mentioned my weight loss. I’m wearing a tee shirt I’ve worn before and my jean shorts are the same size as the jeans I wore all winter. Strange!
3/21 129.0 Headache finally went away sometime during the evening. Not sure why the bump up unless it was caused by the migraine.🤷♀️
3/22 127.5 Equally mystified by the drop! I hit this weight on 2/8 but prior to that it was last seen in 1986-87! My SIL and niece arrive this afternoon. I can’t wait to see them! Posting my be sparse for the next week.9 -
10 DAY GOALS: Planning to (1) log everything carefully over the next 10 days with 1200-1400 range (2) hit my protein macro daily and (3) eat noon to 8 pm
Age: 38
Height: 5'7"

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 157.8 Road trip, not the best eating.
03/15 157.2 Visiting with friends today but going to keep my goals in mind.
03/16 157.2 No gains after vacation, I'll take it! With 7 days left in this challenge, I will need to buckle down on my eating. I want to see those 2.4 lbs GONE! Maybe I'll finally load up one of the beachbody workouts I'm paying for every month, ha.
03/17 157.2. I'm stuck here, it seems. For 3 days in a row. I did finally start PiYo yesterday and am committed to doing another "workout" today. By workout, I mean I made it through the intro section that shows you how to do all the moves. It was challenging enough for me, that's for sure! Today, I'm fighting Sunday habits/cravings with my family: usually, we get donuts or breakfast burritos and sugary coffees. None of that for me today! Keeping tomorrow's weigh-in in mind.
03/18 156.6. Down 1.2 lbs so far! Maybe I can get another .8 off the scale in the next 5 days. Seems doable! Yesterday I made good choices and avoided the Sunday sugars, so I'm feeling accomplished all of a sudden. I'll call it a NSV.
03/19 156.6 Yesterday was my first time trying to log a more complicated homemade meal, and I took the time to input every ingredient of the Shepherd's pie so I knew exactly how much of a serving I could have. This is classic comfort food, and I proved to myself that I can eat what I enjoy and stay within my limits. I'll be running errands all day today so likely eating out, but I'm not worried.
03/20 156.6. Well, I have MFP set to a 1.5 lbs loss a week, and I guess it's set correctly! Honestly, I had hoped for a bigger week 1 loss, even if it was water weight, just to see the scale moving downward more dramatically. Oh, well. I think this means if I'm losing 1.5 a week on 1200 calories, I'm slashing 750 calories a day (500/day for a 1 lb loss; 750/day for 1.5, 1000/day for 2 lb loss)? If my math is right, my maintenance level would be 1950/day as a super sedentary woman.
I'm not willing to slash 1000 calories and eat only 950 to get down to a faster 2 lb loss, especially considering I'm unable to do any real calorie-burning exercise with my mobility issues (say, by eating 1200 and exercising away 250 without eating the exercise calories back). So I'll lose slowly, but as long as I'm losing, I'm good.
Today I'm shooting for 1400 calories just to mix it up a bit. We'll see if my experiment pays off...
03/21 158.2 I'm trying not to worry about the upswing because I know I didn't gain 2 lbs of fat overnight from eating an extra 200 calories yesterday. Impossible.
03/22 155.4 There it is! Down 2.8 from yesterday, 2.4 from my starting weight this round. So encouraged! I do think a 1400 calorie day here and there (1-2 times a week) may keep my body guessing.

03/14 155
03/15 154.5 (so happy to see a 4! Have been at 155 for several days)
03/16 154.5
03/17 154.4 hoping I can stay around this number through Wednesday (TOM starts approximately) I didn’t drink enough water yesterday so will hydrate more today
03/18 154.4
03/19 154.5, the last three rounds have been a bit frustrating. I’m going to work on eating the right food, instead of whatever food fits in the calories the rest of the round and to try to eat earlier (because of work I had dinner at 9:30pm last night)
03/20 154.5
03/21 154.3, hoping to lose some of the water weight from period by Monday of next week. Yesterday was my 100 day of tracking with MFP, so still proud of that even if the last three rounds have had slow weight loss compared to the first two months.
03/22 153.9
03/2310 -
I have no idea how many rounds this is for me. Ended last round at 152.7, looking to end this one at least at 150 something and with a lower 10 day average. Good luck everyone!
03/14 - 151.0 did more snacking last night than I should have. I didn't get dinner on the table till about 7:15 and had a couple of snacks while I was cooking and waiting to start cooking. We were trying to get the second oldest ready for his first day of work. It took us 18 years to convince that kid he needed a job, but he finally did it. I am just hoping he likes it and he figures out it isn't as bad as he has built it up to be in his head. The oldest also came by and picked some furniture up that we are giving him and his girlfriend. They are getting their own place next month when this semester ends and moving in together. First year of college is almost complete for them. Plan is set today for food and water and I am staying on my no alcohol train. Today will be day 5, trying to do a 14 day no alcohol challenge. Honestly it has been tougher than I thought.
03/15 - 151.0 same as yesterday. I guess I can't complain, although was hoping it would be lower. We did go out to dinner last night and I stayed within calories. Did not eat any bread which is definitely a win in my book. So I guess staying the same after a meal out is good, seeing as I usually gain a couple of pounds after a night out. Meals are ready for today and hoping for the best through the weekend.
03/16 - 150.1 Nice little drop to start the weekend. It also flashed 149.8 but then went up to 150.1. Still very happy with my weigh in. Now if I can hold on to it for the next 2 days. I’m already on track for breakfast and lunch today. Going out to dinner tonight and then a basketball game. My goal today, no alcohol and to eat something in calories at the restaurant.
03/17 - 151.0 I have no idea why it’s up. Ate well and ran errands all day. Thought it would be lower though. Maybe it’s because we ate so late last night or because I weighed 3 hours later than normal this morning. I’m not complaining, it’s a Sunday and it hasn’t gone up 2 or 3 pounds, so I guess I will take it as a win.
03/18 - 154.0 I am extremely annoyed. Last weekend I thought it was because I ate pork on Sundays. It's the only day that I eat it, but we always have a big family breakfast with sausage and bacon every Sunday. So I didn't eat any of it thinking it was the sodium, and I gained 3.6 pounds from Friday to Monday. This weekend I was convinced that it had to be the alcohol that we drink on the weekend. So, I did not have a sip of alcohol all weekend, not even yesterday for St Patty's day! Guess what I gained 3.9 pounds Friday to Monday. I stayed within calories, drank a ton of water I thought, and still have this crazy spike. Maybe it is bread? I usually don't eat bread at all, but the weekends are harder seeing as we do hamburgers or hot-dogs on the grill ,or order pizza, or have toast or biscuits with breakfast. So I guess I will cut all bread next weekend and see if that's what is causing my gain. Maybe I have a hard time processing the bread right away or something. I know I will be back down in a day or 2 but it messes up my 10 day average and it is so frustrating some times. I ate a half a piece of toast yesterday and a cinnamon roll and 2 slices of thin crust pizza. All within calories, no reason for a 4 pound gain.
03/19 - 153.0 down a pound. No bread last night, but did have a beer. Ate below calories and on plan so far today. Hopefully I will be back down to 151 tomorrow and 150 by Thursday. Would love to see that 149 by Saturday, but we will see.
03/20 - 151.8 and back down again. I'm hoping for a 150 something tomorrow and to finish this round strong. 3 days left and meeting my goal for this round is very doable at this point. Did well yesterday food wise, under calories, no alcohol, no bread, and drank all my water. This no bread thing is actually harder than I thought. We make rolls with almost every meal. I usually have at least half a one or a couple of bites. I never really noticed it until last night that I do eat it and just don't count it. I guess if I only have half of one it doesn't count in my mind, lol. I have had 5 days out of the last 7 at 151 something or below, so that's definitely bringing my 10 day average down this time.
03/21 - 150.9 made it to my goal this round. Now I just have to hold onto it for 2 more days!
03/22 - 150.9 same as yesterday. Been pretty consistent accept for Monday and Tuesday this round. Going to try hard this weekend to figure out what makes me have such a large water retention problem on Mondays. I have stuck to my no bread all week, but don’t see much of a change. We did order pizza last night and I only ate the topping off of 1 slice. Then I made a large salad with chicken for dinner. I really wanted to eat the whole piece of pizza, including bread but resisted. Really trying to get into that new decade again!
