    11/29 176.2lbs 38.6%BF 6h59m/83 - headed to the gym!
    11/30 173.6lbs 37.9%BF 7h15m/82 - whoosh! My sister is having Thanksgiving Redux today, so I am sure I'll bump up again, but hope to keep the damage to a minimum. Besides, that rich food doesn't sit peacefully in my tummy like it used to...
    12/01 173.8lbs 38.0%BF 7h3m/84 - not bad for the morning after Thanksgiving II.
    12/02 172.8lbs 37.7%BF 5h40m/75 - training this morning after a quiet-ish weekend.
    12/03 173.4lbs 37.9%BF 5h17m/76 - good workout session, but long day with late dinner and short sleep = increased weight & BF.
    12/04 173.4lbs 37.9%BF 6h15m/78 - sedentary day at work; hoping training this morning will shake things up.
    12/05 174.0lbs 38%BF 5h53m/79 - this plateau I am stranded on is killing me!
    12/06 173.8lbs 38%BF 6h58m/81
    12/07 173.2lbs 37.8%BF 6h3m/76 - late night, sleep wasn't great. Great workout Friday - feeling it right now.
    12/08 172.2lbs 37.7%BF 7h27m/83... missed goal by .2, but I will take any progress that might indicate this plateau has been broken! Plus, SORE! lol

    @BSchoberg - Your BF% dropped by almost 1% (0.9%) within the round so that's a huge win in my book, particularly with Thanksgiving (times 2) in this round!!! Keep up the great work!

    Day/Weight/Comment

    11/29: 284.5 lbs (+1.3) … Up a bit here as I ate late the night previous. I was really good through Thanksgiving, but ate light and ended up famished around 11pm.

    11/30: DNW

    12/01: 283.0 lbs (-1.5) … I was a little surprised to see this. I’ve been kind of lazy this weekend and my eating habits haven’t been great. Below maintenance, but above my budget. New low though, so I’m pretty happy.

    12/02: 283.6 lbs (+0.6) … Had a really good day today. We got about 2 feet of snow, so I wound up taking a day off to watch my daughter, who had a snow day. Played outside with her for about 2 hours and was very pleased to see how well I was able to keep up with her… even with extra snow shoveling to build her a mountain of snow to play on!

    12/03: 282.7 lbs (-0.9) … Another new low. Despite being a bit more lax in my eating habits for the past week, I’m still losing weight. Going to try to tighten that back up now that my time off is over. I also want to push my activity a bit more, been lazy on that front as well, outside of snow shoveling.

    12/04: 283.8 lbs (+1.1) … an uptick due to some ill-advised late night snacking near midnight while I was taking care of a sudden home repair issue. Really doesn’t mean much, thankfully. Very happy this morning, I’m wearing a size XL shirt for the first time in maybe 8-9 years.

    12/05: 283.3 lbs (-0.5) … partial recovery. Had a good gym session last night, feeling good this morning.

    12/06: 282.8 lbs (-0.5) … back where I was a couple days ago! I’m not expecting any major drops between now and the end of the round, so I’ll likely not hit my goal. As long as I lose something I’ll be happy enough.

    12/07: 285.3 lbs (+2.5)

    Day/Weight/Comment

    11/29: 217.4 (+1.2)/18.2 (+0.1). Thanksgiving. You get me every year. I want to say that you got me "less" this year than usual, though. My wife is out doing Black Friday nonsense, so I'm going to the gym and doing some work at home.

    11/30: 218.2 (+0.8)/18.3 (+0.1).

    12/1: 219.6 (+1.4)/18.5 (+0.2).

    12/2: 221.2 (+1.6)/18.6 (+0.1).

    12/3: 222.2 (+1.0)/18.7 (+0.1).

    12/4: 220.6 (-1.6) /18.6 (-0.1). I kind of felt this coming (the past few days). My work $#!^storm has stretched out longer than I expected, and it has been taking its toll on my appetite (and my body). I was home from work and in bed the past two days with intense migraines. I'm back at work today, and I spoke with my supervisor this morning to address some of the issues I have been experiencing. I feel a little bit better. I'm trying not to feel like I took a HUGE step backwards regarding my health/weight. I started to "stop the bleeding" last night, so that's a good thing. I adjusted my goal for the round to something reasonable.

    12/5: 220.4 (-0.2)/18.5 (-0.1). I went to the gym last night with my wife, but my appetite is still getting the best of me. I had lunch out (on plan, but more portion-wise than I'm used to having) and dinner out (okay calorie-wise, but not so great regarding food quality). Still, yesterday was better than any of my four blank days, so I'll take it. The GREAT news is that I get to play basketball on Saturday. I am thinking that I need to come up with a holiday replacement for my basketball fix (we're on the Los Angeles School District schedule, which has significant downtime in November/December every year), at least for next year.

    12/6: 220.0 (-0.4)/18.5 (0.0). I had a great day eating-wise through lunch, but in the afternoon my wife informed me that my brother-in-law was making an impromptu visit with his 7yo daughter and 1.5yo son (my godson). Ten minutes before he showed we found out that he was bringing pizza (after my wife had gone shopping for something to make for dinner, which was already in process). I kept it under control (mostly), and I feel like I'm continuing to improve, but I still don't feel like I'm all the way back, if that makes sense. I'll be going to the gym tonight by myself, and I'll be playing basketball tomorrow morning. If nothing else, I'm pretty confident I'll be able to get under 220.0 for the round. Side note, I "feel" like every time I say something like that (a "positive" prediction), I'm foreshadowing some sort of disaster, or at least a derailment. Rather than erasing what I wrote, I'll just try to continue to be mindful of what I'm eating and how I'm feeling.

    12/7: 219.6 (-0.4)/18.4 (-0.1). I went to the gym last night and I was under my target calories. I'm about to head out to basketball!

    12/8: 219.4 (-0.2)/18.4 (0.0). Basketball was rough, and I was VERY sore after. Still sore two days later (as I write this late).

    R97 EW/EBF%: 219.4 (+3.2)/18.4 (-0.3), AW/ABF%: 219.9 (+2.9)/18.47 (+0.30)

    Day/Weight/Comment

    11/29 – 146.5 – I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and have some leftovers to take care of this weekend. I’ll try to drink extra water today and be mindful of the leftovers.
    11/30 – 148 – Ouch! I really didn’t want to step on the scale today, but I’m not going to change my habits if I don’t face the consequences. My family leaves for home today after the OSU/Michigan game. Today I’m really going to try to stay away from the goodies.
    12/1 – 147 – Back to the calorie counting tomorrow. We finished the Thanksgiving leftovers today, so I’m hoping it doesn’t go up anymore.
    12/2 – 147
    12/3 – 145.5 – On the way back down. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is my real weight after the last week and a half, but I’ll be drinking plenty of water in hopes it might go down a little more tomorrow. Today is my first day back to work since last Tuesday, so I should be able to stay on plan.
    12/4 – 146 – I drank my water, watched my calories, and did a short work out for the first time in a week. Oh well, hopefully it will go back down tomorrow.
    12/5 – 145 – OK, just in time for an office Christmas party today. Yesterday when I weighed, my 20 year old scale gave me the error sign a few times so I decided to look for a backup in case it dies soon. I bumped into an eufy smart scale which has been rated pretty high by PC mag on amazon.com on sale for $19.99. I know all the measurements it takes aren’t really accurate, but I thought I might use it to see the trends for water, muscle, etc. especially since I’ve recently started working out. Just a heads up in case you’re looking for a decently rated, reasonably priced smart scale.
    12/6 – 145.5 – I had a lot of sodium yesterday and very little water.
    12/7 – 146.5
    12/8 – 146.5 – Up for the round. Post Thanksgiving and cookie baking on Saturday. On to the next round.
