    04/15 *190.2 @ 9:30PM
    04/16 189.8 @ 6:00AM - Need the accountability again. Back from vacation and the number I saw on the scale scared me. I promised myself I was done with the wild swings, so I'll be logging my food, refreshing my habits again (and again and again), and recording my daily weights here!
    04/17 187.6 @ 6:30AM
    04/18 187.2 @ 6:30AM
    04/19 185.8 @ 6:30AM
    04/20 DNW
    04/21 188.0
    04/22 - I'll add my weight when I weigh in tomorrow or tonight - or both?!
    4/23 - Just for accountability 188.5

    ***VACATION ROUND***Round 74 (my 4th)***
    10 DAY GOALS: Planning to (1) log everything carefully over the next 10 days with maintenance range 1700 or fewer calories (2) 12-hour fast most days (3) Try to boost TDEE with small daily movements to achieve 2000 steps daily (I'm disabled and I often get less than 1000 per day)
    Age: 38
    Height: 5'7"
    Round 71 SW 157.8 EW 155.4 (-2.4 lbs)
    Round 72 SW 155.4 EW 153 (-2.4 lbs)
    Round 73 SW 155.4 EW 153.6 (+0.6 lbs)
    Total challenge lost after 3 rounds: 4.2 lbs
    UGW: 123

    GW for this round: *Maintenance of current wight* 153-155
    To aid in my maintenance goal this week while enjoying my vacation (admittedly, a food-centered one in a special place I haven't been to for over a decade where I'll be headed to some of my all-time favorite restaurants, AND there will be a birthday party), I am experimenting with calorie 'banking'- purposely eating fewer calories for a few days in order to have more in the 'bank' for other days. Over the course of the week, it should even out to 1700 max a day, my maintenance calories.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    04/13 153.6 Same weight for days, and that's fine, since my goal this round is simple: maintain, don't gain! Walked a lot yesterday (for me), 4616 steps, and met my calories perfectly.
    04/14 152 Maddeningly, the scale kept fluctuating between 151.7 and 152, but I'm thrilled it's lower! I've been IFing for a while (16:8) and yesterday, I was starving in the morning, which is atypical. After having the usual coffee and water, the hunger wasn't subsiding one bit, so I opened my eating window early and didn't feel guilty at all, nor did I go overboard- trying out this intuitive eating thing in baby steps over the course of this long journey.
    04/15 152.8 **Banking calories for vacation** Did fine yesterday for a Sunday. A fast food meal but ordered from kids menu and did well otherwise.
    04/16 151.4 **Banking calories for vacation. Managed to eat a few hundred calories under yesterday as part of my calorie cycling plan to create some wiggle room for my upcoming vacation, so I hope this lower number sticks- it'll give me a better shot of not going over 153 this week.

    I am trying not to be nervous about my upcoming vacation/diet break and ran across an idea in an old thread that resonated: think of it as one week to practice maintenance. Shouldn't we all practice our maintenance lifestyle occasionally? My challenges won't be 'over' at goal weight 30 lbs from now; they'll be different. I'm recasting the vacation week as "practicing maintenance" and I feel good about that as a skill to develop along this journey. Vacations like this used to be a food free-for-all, but I'm going to practice eating with a goal in mind: *maintenance*.
    04/17 151.4 **Banking calories for vacation** Banked calories again successfully yesterday and maintaining lower number for now. Feeling good about my vacation strategy!
    04/18 **VACATION BEGINS**Practicing Maintenance**
    04/19 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
    04/20 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
    04/21 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
    04/22 NO SCALE, ON VACATION **Practicing Maintenance**
    Weigh-in 4/24: 153.6! My "practicing maintenance" plan totally worked! Did a ton of activity some days, nothing but sit in the car other days. Ate a little over my usual several days, but didn't eat fully at the upper end of my maintenance range. Feeling ready to tackle the next round!
