Food -- Focus on healthy plant-based foods with some fish, chicken, & eggs. Avoid flour & added sugar.
Exercise -- Aim for a 4-6 mile walk most days; weights either working in garden/house or at gym.

No idea. I’ve been eating responsibly and painting the house, so burning some off. Oh, well.

Ate too much yesterday! Sodium, not enough water.... Better tomorrow.
09/04 - 164
Still flushing salt. I finished a bathroom redo yesterday — here’s a pic. The old version was old oak cabinets and icky tan walls. Now I’m painting and reorganizing the garage, and next up, the laundry room.
09/05 -163
More painting today. Whee!
09/06 - 162.8
First coat on the laundry room/furnace/hot water room — not the most fun I’ve ever had, but the sunshine yellow walls and beautiful turquoise door (painted a couple of weeks ago) make me happy. And happy women lose more weight and stay healthier! ;-) Have a lovely weekend, all.
09/07 - 162.6
I baked up a storm yesterday — mini macaroons, salted caramel bars, and a spice cake — for a fundraiser tonight, and I’m proud to say I had only a teensy taste of each to be sure they were edible. My DH assures me they are. :-) I’m hoping there will be some veggies and/or fruit there as well! Salad for lunch, eggs for breakfast, so there’s that. Enjoy your Saturday!

I forgot to weigh myself this morning — probably subconsciously on purpose. Yesterday was terrible nutritionally, though I don’t think I went much over on calories. We shall see tomorrow.

Liver friendly cleansing foods again this week and a strong push on water consumption. I haven't been drinking enough. Weather is cooler and less grass pollen being kicked up by lawn mowing, (I'm allergic to grass) so walking is back on the agenda.

Round 87 was a mess. I have done better the last two or three days and I found out from the doctor that I just need patience and time for my hip to heal there isn’t a lot she can do and physio won’t help.
Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 - 184.0 - had a fairly decent day yesterday. Did eat more than my allotted calories but still in maintenance.
Sept 1 - 184.0 - a little surprised as we had an appetizer selection supper last night and it was all high sodium.
Sept 2 - 187.0 - there it is, I knew I couldn’t have eaten all that sodium enriched food without it showing on the scale.
Sept 3 - 185.8 - need to keep up with the water today.
Sept 4 - 186.6 - hmmm not sure why it’s up today. Must be the little bit of Chinese food I had for lunch yesterday. I’m not a fan so it was very little.
Sept 5 - 187.0 - certainly the wrong direction
Sept 6 - 182.4 - I triple checked this today.
Sept 7 - 186.2 - that seems more realistic to me
Sept 8 - 184.0 - back to where I started at least.

OSW 382.0
RSW 298.6
My goal for this round is to not gain too much while eating at maintenance. I will be at maintenance calories for this entire round.
08/31 298.2 Interesting. I’m happy with this as it should mean that I’m staying on track with my plans. Yesterday I was hungry for no real reason, this happens to me near ovulation. However I didn’t expect that at higher calories it would still happen and it’s something that I’ll have to watch out for.
09/01 300.4 Eep. It’s okay though I was high sodium and high carb and I didn’t have enough water.
09/02 299.6 Better. I think the sugar, high carb, or something isn’t agreeing with me. I’ve limited sweets a lot over the last few months so several days of them has been a little much. Thankfully all the birthday cake is gone, but there will be more on Thursday for my daughter’s birthday. Next year I might split the recipe into two separate cakes rather than making two full cakes. Live and learn.
09/03 301.0 I weighed late, but I’m not sure I would be a lot lower. I over ate a bit yesterday so I deserve this bounce up.
09/04 301.6 One thing I’m trying during this break is some shifts to my breakfast and lunch. Yesterday they didn’t stay with me and I was starving at dinner time. I was in my calories, but it was a big meal. Needless to say I won’t be doing that again.
09/05 303.6 One week down, one to go. I know how I’ve been eating so I know that most of this will go quickly once I restart.
09/06 302.6 Oh that’s nice. It’s been a little rough seeing the higher numbers, but in addition to more carbs/food I also bounce up during this point in my cycle. Hopefully the next few days will continue to see the water retention go away.
09/07 301.8 I’m happy to be continuing to drop the water weight. I have a few more days left of eating at maintenance and I have a few new plans in place and some new perspectives on my eating habits.

OSW-187 Sept. 2018
Goal this round: 159, alcohol only on weekends, lots of water and no junk food.
8/31-167
9/1-DNW
9/2-168-Not bad after the weekend. Not much exercise lately. I’ll go for a big walk this morning and be back on track.
9/3-169-Hmm-I read about reducing visceral fat by walking so fast that you’re winded. I did that for 5 miles yesterday and thought I was going to die! My back was hurting. I am going to try for my normal 7 miles this morning at a comfortable pace and some swimming that stretches my back.
9/4-167-I got a big walk in yesterday and ate pretty good. I have been quilting a lot and I sit a lot doing that. 1/2 walk and swim today.
9/5-167–Whew! Yesterday I stopped in the quilt store they asked me to stay for a birthday party and I ended up eating cake for breakfast! After that I went home and got some protein. Birthday party at a Mexican restaurant tonight. Yikes!
9/6-167-Whew, again! Walked 7 miles yesterday, ate good, then went to a birthday dinner at Mexican restaurant. I did pretty good with food, and had a piece of cake and drank water instead of the pitchers of margaritas that were passed around.
9/7-166-Walked 5 miles and did a ton of housework. Glad to be down today (Saturday), I’ll probably behave myself.
9/8-165-good food choices and no alcohol over the weekend.
I have my coffee with all of you each morning.😊☕️7 -
I'm back again. 50 year old midwesterner and my pants are getting tight!

08/31 away from scale
09/01 away from scale
09/02 144 now that all family events are over and summer is coming to an end I am looking to get back into some kind of routine. I have too. I am super disappointed by this number. Felt like within a month u managed to reset 6 months of hard work. So unfair!
09/03 143.8
09/04 143.6
09/05 143.2 FFS work has still been crazy.. workouts have been less but I have stopped eating out on a better note. With the inconsistent work schedule, workouts have been hard to get in. Like I wanted to do one tonight but was called into work last minute. With me interviewing people and training, I have been getting an hour off a day not including travel time.. which gives me no time. I have noticed my stomach getting a little squishey which is so upsetting since I worked so hard to get my definition. Amazing how it takes a year of work to be undone in three months. So over it
09/06 143.8 it's time to get real. Face facts and change. I feel like I am always resetting but never sticking to it. I feel like I always say this needs to get better and change but somewhere in revert and nothing comes from it. What I am doing is not working anymore... This needs to change and I need to reset my mentality to hardwork rather than easy foing, maintain mentality. It's time to out the work and dedication in... It's time to get it together
09/07 no weight but a good day
09/08 145.8 so yesterday was good but then I had a very indulgent dessert. Like I said a couple of days ago.. I am always resetting but I can't seem to stick to it. I am not going to get down on myself, I did this to myself.. but I am spiraling out of control and that needs to end.. hi my name is Stephanie and I am an addict. I am over my addictions. Today I am deleting apps (Uber eats is the devil) and cleaning out my closet (or fridge) I have today off so I will be preplanning my weeks meals and getting rid of anything in my house that will tempt me. This has to be the end ... I know where this lack of disciple and control will lead me

@abowersgirl your comment on constant reset without actually seeing it through is so familar... Let's try again anyway 🤗
We should!!! I am will not be defeated2 -

Thank you. I seemed to have spiraled and now I need to quit the bad habit. It's time to get real. My body won't lie to me about my gains or losses so I can't lie to myself about my bad eating habits...4 -

2: 226.2 Too many carbs at dinner.

I was 189# when I first started keto (1/1/18), and had gotten down to 150# before I let life interrupt me.

8/31 - 157 - last weekend before work starts again! Forgot my meter, so no numbers. I’m going to have to stay focused! We’re going to be busy cleaning out the garage at my SO’s so we can move my stuff in & organize for a garage sale.
9/1 - 156 - more cleaning, purging & organizing today! Combining 2 households is hard work! 😂
9/2 - 157 - homemade fish fry last night 😬 I had 1 onion ring & 2 hush puppies. They weren’t what I hoped for. But my keto coating was much better than his corn meal coating! Staying the course. Work starts in 2 days! Back home today to work on my place.
9/3 - 157 - holding steady. Today was an off day. Too many carbs. Back to work bright & early tomorrow and no choice but to walk the thin line.
9/4 - 156 - up & out the door before 0600. Hopefully I’ll be home before 2000. Have my first jug of water & plenty of food.
9/5 - 157.5
9/6 - 158
9/7 - 156.5 - the last 2 days at work were awful. The bright side is that I was able to do OMAD. The down side was no “movement” for several days and so much stress that I didn’t sleep well. Got to crash last night & sleep in today then out of bed to get things moving. Have to stay strong & focused this weekend so I can finish this 10 days strong. I’m starting to wonder how the stress hormones are related to cravings. Any insight?
9/8 - DNW - craved Mexican so bad yesterday, ate it last night, pay for it later. BPC to start the day.8 -

08/31 - 123.4 :: was very active and unintentionally ate far lower than my calorie limit because of being busy through out the day. Made healthy choices. Last round was slow progress. This is a kicker to start with.
09/01 - 124.4 :: last drop was surprising, seems numbers evened out. Over calorie limit by < 100 cals. Not very active. Ate healthy.
09/02 - 124.4 :: ate a bit higher than calorie limit, <50 cals. Decently active. Ate healthy. Breakfast choice of Sago was very calorific, be cautious next time.
09/03 - 123.6 :: Ate in calorie limit, ate planned snack and controlled portions. Not very active.
09/04 - 124.4 :: Ate in calorie limit, ate planned snack and controlled portions. Decently active.
09/05 - 125.4 :: Ate under calorie limits, controlled portions. Active. TOM started, hence a little upswing.
09/06 - 125.4 :: Ate in calorie limits, was able to fit cravings in allowed limits. Decently active.
09/07 - 124.4 :: Ate under calorie limits, activity low. Ordered in dinner, too much sodium. Need to track sodium better.
09/08 - 124.4 :: Ate over calorie limts > 500 cals. Drank 2 glasses of wine, snacked after uncontrolled. Need to restrict drinking to avoid binges.

Drink 72 oz of water daily
Sleep 7+ hours every day
Commit to Barre 3x a week
Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 137.7, On vacation through Monday so will accept a gain and hope to be back down by the end of the round
09/01 138.3, back home later tonight so food will be back to normal tomorrow.
09/02 138, working my way back down to hopefully match my previous low of 137.6 by mid week.
09/03 137.6, tennis lessons start today with local parks and rec. I’m taking a beginning class again and hope to be intermediate by the second part of the fall class registration time.
09/04 137.6, loved my tennis lesson yesterday. Today, I’m going to do an hour on the elliptical
09/05 137.4, snacked a lot yesterday and didn’t eat a real meal. This happens a lot during my TOM where I eat a lot of chocolate and popcorn, which are more tempting to me than during other times of the months. I have to not have certain items in the house next month since there are more filling ways to get calories. On track to see a 136 number this month, but it is a weigh in right after a weekend so it’s not a given unless I keep working hard.
09/06 137.1, attending a gala tonight so will try to keep calories in check as best as I can, but this is a rare occurrence so will enjoy myself too.
09/07 135.8, very surprised to see this number with the amount I ate and drank last night. I expect to see an increase in the next couple of days.
09/08 137, expected this and totally fine seeing this number. Going to the gym and going to eat normal today and really hoping to see a 136.x number to end the round. It’s going to be warm today so water intake will be high.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/31-208.9 Plan today is for hubby and I to organize the bedroom closet and storage room. Husband started back up on MFP this week. He lost 50lbs easily a couple of years ago just by stopping to eat junk food, but he wasn't ready to make any other changes to lose the next 40-50lbs and he has maintained his weight for the last 3 years. This week he started to track his food and he was shocked on how many calories he was eating.
09/01-208.9 Did not drink a lot of water yesterday and had more snacks then usual. Organized and clean storage room yesterday and working on bedroom today. Ankle still sore, so went out for a walk instead. Strength coach today and then going out to lunch.
09/02-209.8 Had a great lunch at a local mexican restuarant. I didn't drink much water yesterday, so plan for today is to get my water in.
09/03-210.5 Probably still seeing the effects of lunch from 2 days ago. Weight is till trending downwards. Success yesterday is getting my water in. Strength coach today.
09/04-209.8 There goes some of the water weight. Need to still get some more water in this evening.
09/05-210.5 Hardly drank any water yesterday. Working on water intake today.
09/06-210.5 Feeling heavy. My intestinal system still hasn't fully recovered from my vacation from over a month ago.
Weightlifting at the gym tonight.
09/07--209.8 NSV! I was tired yesterday after work and even though I had planned to, I decided not to go to the gym. So when I got home I had dinner and even took a nap. When I woke up from my nap I said to myself that instead of just sitting on the couch and watching tv I should go to the gym. So I ended going to the gym at 8pm, completed my workout, and left just before the gym closed at 9pm. I felt so good when I got home! Going to a wedding today that is a 1 1/2 hour drive away. Plan is to make sure I'm not hungry before I leave for the wedding, bring some snacks, and drink a lot of water.
09/08--210.9 Not surprised after the wedding yesterday. Strength coach today.

@dcq2 I would say your uptick is from the pizza 3 days prior. It takes my body 2-3 days to reflect things.
@abowersgirl Stephanie, get rid of the crap in the cabinets and fridge. No one needs it! DGD left most of a box of pre-sweetened cereal which DH munched mindlessly while reading or watching the one TV show he watches. The day he watched TV with me he finished the box - over 1100 calories in one evening! Now it’s gone. We haven’t had cereal in the house in at least a year and I won’t get more.3 -

9/1 197.4 lbs 6h5m/76/11:41pm - ended up doing absolutely nothing for the first time in forever and it felt glorious! Quiet day with the dogs. Even let my Fitbit recharge...
9/2 196.8 lbs 7h7m/84/10:04pm - very active, good sleep. Coincidence? I think not. Though I did over-hydrate and as a consequence, was up a few times, I did fall back to sleep pretty well.
9/3 197.1 lbs 7h18m/88/10:19pm - good workout and otherwise restful; did some stretching and used my foam roller & acupressure mat to help with lingering soreness. Good sleep... want more - lol
9/4 196.2 lbs 5h51m/77/11:46pm - Sunday's activity seems to have paid off. Combat tonight.
9/5 194.7 lbs 6h4m/78/10:42pm - dogs woke me up, so not really an accurate indicator of how long I would have slept... lol Also not sure if I trust the weigh-in, but I got that twice so I'm recording it. Woke up hungry!
9/6 193.6 lbs??? 6h43m/82/10:41pm - Not real sure about that weight, but I got it 4x... still - super happy to finally be seeing some progress. Good workout, rough day at work, decent sleep, of not quite enough. TGIF!
9/7 193.7 lbs 6h11m/70/10:42pm - up for a couple hours in the middle of the night... bah! Had a big cal/carb day - pizza & beer with good friends. As a result, I will adjust Saturday's refeed down. Not gonna sweat this. 💕
9/8 194.8 lbs 6h45m/77/11:36 pm - not unexpected, not worried. Also not feeling it today. ***And apparently, I am being haunted... 😎***

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.
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.
8/30 No scale. On a ship.
******
8/31 NWI Up before 5AM! BPC on board. Back to Long Beach and fly home. Will add final weight on 9/1 which might be up due to travel but will be fine. Still fit in my size 4 shorts - good thing because that’s all I brought! El Pollo Loco double chicken avocado salad. Half for lunch when we got home and half for dinner after picking up DGD and her friends at the airport, taking them for groceries and dropping them at their hotel.
9/1 122.0 Back home in my own bed last night. Ship’s beds are comfortable but there’s no place like home!
9/2 122.0 I didn’t drink enough water on the ship last week because I failed to take my larger water glass. Now need to get back at it. I’ve caught up on the posts from the time I logged in last night. Missed 137 posts in the last round but c’est la vie.
9/3 DNW Three 22 year olds in the house (DGD#2 and 2 of her high school friends made there annual girls trip to Las Vegas.) We gave them the hall bathroom which is where the scale is. It was in use when I got up early. My tummy is very grumpy this morning. Yesterday OMAD at Golden Corral, no snacks except cream in my coffee.
9/4 122.0 Realized in the evening that I had not had my BPC in the morning as one of the girls was sleeping on the couch. Bouncing back is harder when you get older- even a few months older. All of this travel is having an impact also. Being with Mbabydoll was the BEST! I know I can do this. Making good choices with an occasional treat works. I did drink more water.
9/5 123.0 UGH This is the result of fries at lunch with the kids on Tuesday and the potato chips I DID eat on Tuesday night before they went in the disposal! Drank at least a gallon of water. Had to get some groceries so now I can make a salad again. Recover begins today!
9/6 121.0 Ate well, drank LOTS of water! And I made a salad for “breakfast” this morning.
9/7 122.0 Ugh, I was up several times during the night with diarrhea (sorry if TMI) Yesterday was a good day - recalled airbag replaced, went to Arts & Crafts at our community center.
9/8 121.5 Did absolutely nothing yesterday. It was lovely!8 -

09/07 …..193.4 UNFAIR GAIN….. I had a very severe sugar drop (T2D) last night and had to quickly eat carbs that I would not have eaten otherwise. I quickly ate EXACTLY what my doctor recommended, 1 slice of bread with peanut butter & about 8 oz milk (2%). It definitely felt like I was saving my life when I was poking it in and drinking the milk too. So I am up a bit which feels pretty unfair. Otherwise I had a great day – on point with diet and exercise that I’d planned. Yesterday’s stats before the small & quick carb snack: 1118 Calories In / 2460 Calories burned. 32 Net carbs mainly spaghetti squash casserole. 11,850 Total Steps & 5.01 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes. I walked at moderate pace for 36 minutes, I did misc yard work, painting & general outdoor chores for 67 minutes. I danced last night for 17 minutes, Sample Song “Jealous” by Nick Jonas. Total extra calories burned 616.
09/08 …..193.4 ….. It may have dropped if not for that zucchini bread my neighbor baked & brought over. Oh my! Yesterday’s stats: 1987 Calories In / 2907 Calories Out. 17,220 Total Steps & 7.29 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept a whopping 6 hours & 10 minutes and I am so tired today. Probably from the carbs on the bread yesterday evening. I did some light cabin cleaning & housework for 110 minutes including some painting. I did some yard work for 40 minutes. I did some low impact aerobics for 30 minutes (instead of dance) and I walked at moderate pace for 69 minutes. Total extra calorie burn was 1229.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 128.4 I'm under a lot of stress and not feeling well. Feeling highly ambivalent about my journey, which is scary. This is what happens to people in maintenance if they're not careful! I'm close enough to goal that I'm slipping in my hard-earned habits simply because I feel mostly good about how I look- tons better, anyway. I need to refocus, come up with some new goals.
09/01 128.4 Going on vacation, and still feeling meh. I should probably take a diet break (did this before by calculating maintenance calories and it worked out well), but... I have a feeling I'm going to come back heavier.
09/02 DNW, on vacation
09/03 130.6 Maybe I needed to go this far- back upward enough (+2.2 lbs and back in the 130s) that I can see the lost progress- in order to get my head back into it. And...THIS is why this challenge works, THIS is why we weigh every day, right, folks? We can catch ourselves mid-fall instead of when we're all the way on the ground, wondering how that 10, 15, 30 lbs creeped up on us. Motivated again!
09/04 128.6 Back into the 120s! Hoping I can keep it here for the rest of the round.
09/05 127 To quote Keanu Reeves from The Matrix (and every other Keanu film), "Whoa."
09/06 128.2 Seven days into this round, I'm back to the day 1 weight. It's good, actually, because this is after a three-day holiday weekend in which I went kinda off the rails. I'm learning how to recover from "off" days without turning them into "off" weeks. In the big picture view, this is progress, guys!
09/07 127.6 Hmmmm, yesterday was In-N-Out for lunch, salmon and kale salad for dinner, ice cream for dessert, and right within my calories. I loved everything I ate, and I'm down today. If I wasn't logging and weighing, I'd never know I could eat an In-N-Out cheeseburger and lose weight!
09/08 127 Great! Feeling good. Hoping to stay around 127-128 for tomorrow's weigh in.

8/31 181.5 (-1.5) level was very low. Food intake was good, managed to hit the gym and give it my all.
9/1 181.5 +/- 0 Went to the gym with SIL, some cardio, shoulders, and back. I was craving carbs today.
9/2 182 +.5 Gym day included cardio and legs @anlaing016 has strong legs and pushed me to the limit. Who needs to walk on arm day right?
9/3 180.5 (-1.5) Boot camp in the morning and 45 minutes of cardio. Meal prepped early in the day to keep myself on track.
9/4 180 (-.5) Boot camp and 30 minutes of cardio. Eating clean seems to be working
9/5 181 +1 This challenge and logging my food seem to be working with the weight loss. Hard time finishing my water today. Boot camp and cardio but sat a lot at work.
9/6 180.5 (-.5) felt very sluggish today
9/7 180.5 +/- 0 Did very well up until dinner, Red Robin with the family. I’m glad that the scale didn’t notice my cheat meal.
9/8 181.5 +1 My brother said that I looked very skinny yesterday, little does he know that his wife has me on this challenge @anlaing016. Walked and ate a lot at Disneyland yesterday but back on track today. Weekends are always the hardest for me.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31: 224.0 (-1.6)/18.9 (-0.2). A reward from heaven because I finally went to the gym? I went out to dinner with my wife, and split a sandwich with her. It was relatively healthy, but my willingness to portion control was what made my night a success.
9/1: 225.6 (+1.6)/19.1 (+0.2). I did my best last night with what I could regarding food (quality/quantity), at least as much as I could while out at a restaurant I love. It's likely my previous weigh-in was a slight exaggeration (weighed late) and that it was affected by me working out the night before. I'm going to the gym this morning, and I'm going to try my best to keep things under control today (wife's birthday party). If I have alcohol, it will be in the form of a mixed drink or two (spirit + diet soda). Going to the gym this morning (right now) to try to give myself a little wiggle room tonight. Oh, and to get myself into good habits! :-)
9/2: 225.6 (0.0)/19.1 (0.0). I went to bed late last night and got up late this morning, so this number is potentially a little bit under what it should be. I did pretty well yesterday at my wife's birthday party; I planned out what I was going to eat before I ate it (for the most part). I had one beer, but other than that it was all spirits + diet soda. I couldn't resist a tiny slice of the best carrot cake I have ever had (homemade by my sister-in-law). I also hit the gym before going to the party, which made it twice in three days that I made it there. I think I can sustain three times per week: Friday (with my wife), Sunday, and Tuesday, with basketball starting up this coming Saturday. I'll shoot for three times times at the gym, but I'll feel successful even if I can make it twice per week. Coming out of the weekend (particularly given two celebrations for wife's B-Day) still at my starting weight for the round feels like a pretty significant accomplishment.
9/3: 226.0 (+0.4)/19.1 (0.0). This is probably the right number, and not bad for the weekend I just had. I'm feeling okay right now, but this is going to be a stressful week. Trying to stay focused...
9/4: 226.2 (+0.2)/19.2 (+0.1). Last night (and much of my waking hours) was spent worrying about what was going to happen today (I'll talk about that tomorrow). I am pretty sure that I ate within calories (and according to plan), and I know that my weigh-in does not always reflect my previous day's efforts. Eat that, scale!
9/5: 224.0 (-2.2)/18.9 (-0.3). WHOOSH!!!. There's no good reason for this, and who cares!?!?!? I was above my calorie goal yesterday, but below maintenance. I have a lot of workplace stress right now; a coworker is basically trying to get me fired because she did not like that I reported her inappropriate behavior, and I'm being investigated as a result (my stressful day yesterday was meeting with the investigator). I'm going to the gym either tonight or tomorrow night, and basketball is FINALLY BACK! Saturday will be my first time in over two months (problem with gym permit).
9/6: 223.2 (-0.8)/18.8 (-0.1). This is the lowest weight I've been in months. I'm going to try not to get too excited about a number (just as I don't get too upset about a number), but I can't help but feel good about this. On a side note, I HATE the way my body looks as I lose weight. I tend to see losses first in areas I DON'T want to lose (thinning out of legs, shoulders, arms), and I don't see ANY CHANGES around the belly area. Weight training only exaggerates this, unfortunately (I love to lift, both upper and lower body). To make things even more fun, my wife loves to point out changes in my legs in particular (though she has not done this yet during THIS cycle, to her credit). The good news is that I generally know how this process goes. At about 215 my face thins out a bit, and when I get below 210 I start to notice a change in the midsection. I just need to stick with the process and utilize my delayed gratification skills and patience. And continue to stay accountable, of course! This group feels like the only thing that really works for me, in addition to a supportive friend or two (who also happen to be in this group!).
9/7: 223.4 (+0.2)/18.9 (+0.1). I went out for sushi last night and did pretty well. Mostly stuck to sashimi (no rice), clams, and mussels. I got peer-pressured into three small shots of sake, but overall I'm pretty pleased with the way I handled myself. I did my best to track, but I am pretty sure I overestimated my calories by quite a bit. Basketball happened today, but I'll talk about that tomorrow morning
9/8: 223.4 (0.0)/18.9 (0.0). I played basketball yesterday, and I felt like I was playing "beach" basketball. I was exhausted. I couldn't move. I didn't expect it, but I can't be surprised by it. 2.5 months of no basketball = THIS. Still, even a bad day at basketball is a pretty good day. Eating was a bit of an afterthought, though I did log to the best of my ability (and I'm 99% sure I was significantly under calories considering how much I know I burned). I went to bed VERY late, so I'm taking this weigh-in with a grain of salt (expected a loss). That being said, I was also a little surprised that I didn't have a worse weigh-in yesterday, given the "all-you-can-eat" sushi experience I had the night before. This weigh-in (unexpectedly up) is what I was talking about yesterday @arlak21 ... I'm not trying to curse you, but sometimes some context can help make sense of otherwise confusing information. Basketball days are (in my mind) supposed to lead to a good weigh-in the next day (edited weight in post because I misread it... need to get the old eyes checked... again).
