I had to tweak my diet this week (prep for colonoscopy). NO nuts, seeds, whole grains, raw vegetables, fruits and vegetables that have seeds. I may not have made the best choices, but my favorites have been made off limits. Good thing this prep is only 5 days and the worst of it is less than 1 day.

Just a reminder that the challenge months don't exactly follow the calendar! So the first weigh in for Saturday folks is this coming Saturday Feb 8 , NOT Feb 1st. Sorry for the confusion!1

Week: Thursday, february week 1 (06-02-2020)
Previous weight: 99,3 kg / 218,92 lbs
Current weight: 99,5 kg / 219,36 lbs
Track: Yes
Calories: 2000 a day without exercise and eating back between 50-80% of my exercise
Under or over calories on weekly basis: I could have done better obviously, but i was away for the weekend, in a hotel with my wife. And thus eating out on saturday and sunday. Also heaving breakfast in hotel, and i am a huge fan of breakfast and can eat almost endlessly, i knew i probably had hit the 2000 calories alone at breakfast.
Luckily there was a fitness room there and a swimming pool, so after breakfast my wife had to go away for a meeting, and i still had a few hours left and went to workout in the hotelgym for 60 minuts and went swimming for another 20, my total calorie burn was around 1000.
So i at least had some room for food again. I skipped lunch because of the heavy breakfast but went out for dinner. I did walked about 20K steps that day as well. The day after i did gain weight, but only 1,5 kg, which is not much, considering, i normally weigh heavier on monday anyway, and somewhat between 0,5-2 kg heavier, and that is when i eat at home.
The day after i almost lost all of it again, leaving me around 99,8 kg. So now being at 99,5 kg isn't that bad i think.
No dinners planned coming week, so hopefully being down again next weigh-in
I think it's important when you gain weight, when you plan on losing that is, that you know why you have gained. Be aware of what you do.3 -

Good afternoon folks --- Trying to get in the habit of checking in from work from time to time. I'm feeling very hungry. I'm tired emotionally and physically but I can't get what I need to recharge until at least the end of the day, and I'm needing to get at least a couple of things done today that I don't even want to start on. I'm going to concede that I'm not going to be at my calorie target today but I'm going to decide right now what calories I'm okay with because Friday is one of my harder days and I know if I don't manage the situation I'll be in the "f-it zone" starting at lunch and probably not stopping 'til Monday (if then).
I don't really have a good sense of what my maintenance is, but I think it's around 1900 so I'm going to plan to have that be my goal for today; I'll treat myself to a brownie and some chicken and salad from a store I like and then the rest of the snacks I brought and a normal dinner with my partner tonight.2 -
Hmmm... sorry if this is double posted, I posted this morning but it doesn’t look like it’s here

Daily Post Friday
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: none
Day: I did good today. Friday’s we always have donuts at work (which I usually avoid no problem) but today there was also cupcakes which is a huge weakness for me but I managed to stay away from both! so as a compromise I made a low carb brownie after dinner (fit into my cals and carbs) so I’m pretty happy with myself for that. Still got a treat and don’t feel like I missed out but also didn’t eat something that could trigger a binge.2 -

I was almost 10 lbs more on Dec 1st so I'm pretty happy with the results of where I'm heading. Sometimes it seems like I'm just bouncing up and down but it's pretty amazing how good choices and hard work can add up (even if it seems like too little, too slowly) over time.1 -

Minimal loss, but I'll take it. As long as I maintain under 145, I'm a happy camper.1
