    SW Round 212: 198.0 (-1.8)
    EW Round 213: 198.2 (+.02)
    EW Round 214: 197.8 (-.04)


    Goal 1 for this round: Use the "day completed" button at the end of every day to make sure I log everything.
    Goal 2 for this round: start this 4 week treadmill plan (tomorrow) to do something different and get some cardio in: https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/4-week-treadmill-training-plan/

    2/11 195.6 well this is a solid start for this round!! I think checking off my journal is helping, also trying to look and log ahead some foods to make sure I stay under my calorie goal. Yesterday I was kicking the soccer ball for our 6 month old puppy and I hyperextended my knee! it hurt! today it's feeling better but I really don't want it to interfere with my steps and gym plan.

    2/12 197.6 checked off my journal, stayed under calories
    2/13 198.0 checked off my journal, stayed under calories
    2/14 198.0 checked off my journal, went over calories a little bit since my neighbor brought some homemade oatmeal choc. chip cookies for valentines and we ate heart shaped pizza for dinner
    2/15 198.0 salty salty, checked off my journal and stayed under calories
    2/16 198.6 I know I didn't drink enough water yesterday. must remedy that today.

    2/11: 130.1 - Not really sure how I got here. Had a sugar binge last night. I did work out later in the day (just before dinner) so don’t know if that helped at all.
    2/12: 131.2 - here is the bump up I was expecting yesterday. Had dinner out at a friends house. Delicious all around. I did get my workout in so hopefully that helped a little bit.
    2/13: 131.6 - We did a bit of game day cooking for just the two of us. Got our workouts in though.
    2/14: 131.6 -Still eating leftovers. Good workout
    2/15: 132.1 - Too many sweets
    2/16: 132.1 - Late workout and OMAD.

    2/16 - 161.8 - Well, I did say maintain OR lose so I guess my body listened. I won't lie I was a little nervous to step on the scale. My tummy feels bloated and harder than normal. TMI is a little wonky, too. Hopefully it's just my messed up schedule and now that things are back to normal, it will settle out. BF made it home safe. I ended up waking up to my 6am alarm with juuuuust under 7 hours of sleep according to Fitbit so not bad at all. Glad I didn't try to wake up at 5 and do a double workout, though! Thanks, Past Cam, I appreciate you looking out. Though I'm quite sore today from 3 straight days of workouts, at least they happened and I didn't skip and feel guilty. Today's focus is on really listening to hunger cues and NOT mistaking boredom/stress/emotions for hunger and acting on them as my calorie budget is limited with no exercise and a heavy dinner planned. Also, getting lots of movement so I'm not sitting on my lazy bum all day. I have my reminders to move set up on my Fitbit to get at LEAST 250 steps each hour. Aiming for more. Cold day (after 2 days of feeling more like April/May, windows open airing out the house, t-shirt wearing with no hoodie or jacket, I'm sad BF brought icky, grey, cold weather back with him), but hoping the weather cooperates for a walk with pups tonight. Its windy so hoping that settles juuuust a bit so it's not so miserable.

    Previous Day's Comments
    2/11 - Very slight jump up. It's a combination of things, I'm sure. Despite my probiotics, I'm sure they are not eliminating all dairy bloat. We had homemade pepperoni pizza last night. My first attempt! We all agreed better (and cheaper) than frozen. But whew, cheese. Always gets me. Also, TMI, didn't really happen yesterday, but on the normal schedule today so all good there. Not sure today's plans other than my workout schedule says to do 15-30 minutes minimum of fun movement activity. I'll either walk the dogs or do a yoga practice before bed depending on what ends up happening today. I have pre-logged what I know of for tomorrow (Galentine's Brunch then Superbowl Party). Despite my plans to make a best-effort, I'm using today as as super healthy day to help balance out what I anticipate as a super not healthy day tomorrow. And if it ends up being somewhat healthy, that much better for me! We are leaving at halftime anyway as BF has to be at the airport by 4-430 Monday morning for a business trip. More on those plans later, but I've planned my path that will be the most likely to provide success. Not sure if I'll have time to check in tomorrow, depends on when I wake up vs when I need to leave to get to brunch on time. I'll be back Monday, though!
    2/12 - Oh, a huge drop after what I expected was going to be a tick up or two! Guess the bloat being gone and TMI back on track did the trick like I thought? Yesterday was not as super healthy as I'd like. I did have a nice balanced "brunch" which held me over for the most part until dinner (I had 2 little mandarin oranges for a snack and sweet treat). BF wanted chili cheese dogs for dinner so that's what we had, but I went very light on the cheese. I kept it mindful and luckily had JUST ENOUGH calories in my budget leftover. According to Fitbit, I was 34 calories over while MFP said I was exactly at 0! My activity for the day wasn't "fun" but I felt better: deep cleaned the kitchen. BF woke up so I didn't get to clean out the fridge to wipe that down (maybe while BF is gone and I'm alone in the house during the day Monday-Wednesday. A work call listening activity? Beats sitting at a desk listening). Sweeping and mopping didn't happen though the poor robot vacuum tried its best. 2 dogs with fallen dried leaves, dried grass, and mud? Poor floors have been swept and mopped/scrubbed so much this week alone, I'm surprised there's still a floor left! Here's to hoping I can stick to my pre-planned, pre-logged day and NOT having the usual 2 week long Superbowl "hangover" (and I mean food baby hangover, not alcohol. BF and I both have to drive 45 minutes home!)
    2/13 - Definitely bloated. Also sleep issues. BF's alarm went off at 3:40 and he was gone by 4. If my body cooperated, I'd have woken up at 6 to do my workout. Unfortunately I didn't doze off again until about 545 and decided to sleep until 7...but the dogs intervened at 615ish. I'm so cranky and groggy and just bleh. I have a headache like no other (luckily no migraine). I put on workout clothes to remind me I have to do my workout today, either at lunch or after work before a puppy walk. I'm pushing water (though I drank quite a bit of water yesterday, I definitely need more) and I'm going to try to fast until lunch (should be easier with no early morning workout) and pre-plan/log a balanced lunch to immediately start off-setting the Galentine's Day and Superbowl weight gain. I'm simply glad all that's now over. Also, since I'm in charge of dinner, I know what we're having and I can log it first thing. Nice thing about being in charge of dinner!
    2/14 - Sweet, Superbowl bloat is mostly banished! I have had an awful morning. I was so so so exhausted when my alarm went off and now I'm battling the beginnings of a migraine from oversleeping. How can I be so tired I literally fall back asleep AS I'm attempting to turn off my alarm and yet feel sick like I always do after I oversleep? Needless to say, no workout. Yet. BF still gone so I can do it without disrupting him during the day. Since BF comes home late Wednesday night (late as in I'm already asleep and I'll be woken up), I'm thinking instead of my super hard workout (bodyweight AND cardio) Thursday morning, I'm going to do that today and just do the cardio sprints Thursday morning. Or maybe cardio sprints tomorrow and use Thursday as the rest day? Definitely doing the hard workout today, though. For today, I need to log and see if it fits, but I have dinner planned and leftovers for lunch.
    2/15 - Now, hopefully, to maintain or lose more to stay on track for this round's goal (or surpass the goal which would be amazing but not getting hopes up too much..end of round IS a Monday, my worst weigh in day). My dog, Harley (adult) decided to take a page from the pup's (Smoke) book and eat acorns. So we were up half the night as I monitored her and her retching, puking, etc. She's fine now, it seems, but I'm, once again, lacking sleep. The sleep I did get was super restful as I've been plain exhausted. I've already gotten my meals planned for today and came in just under (50 or so) calories before any exercise calories factored in (or breakfast which I'm hoping to fast through anyway). I just finished my cardio sprints to make tomorrow a rest day. BF will be home sometime tonight after my bedtime. Today I'll input Thursday's planned dinner and figure out what I can munch on for lunch Thursday since it'll be a little more challenging with no workout calories providing a buffer.

    @39flavours I hope someone reported the creepy guy! My stomach is growling but if I ignore it it stops. I’m planning on a fast today but haven’t decided if I’ll make it 18 or 24 hours. (10:30 AM or 4:30 PM) Right now it’s 8:42 in Las Vegas

    @clprieur Remember you are interviewing them as well. Make sure you have some questions for them. You can also do some preparation by Googling interview questions, etc. There's a lot of good stuff out there.



    Good advice for @39flavours! I am not interviewing... unless you know something I don't... ;)

    ***************************************
    2/9 157.0 (trend 158.1)
    2/10 156.8 (trend 158.0)

    2/11 154.4 (trend 157.5) That's quite a whoosh! I felt very different yesterday, loads of energy, I couldn't sit still, and I was in a really positive mood. Hopefully this is a taste of things to come and not a blip.

    2/12 157.2 (trend 157.4) Oh for goodness sake. I guess I was just really dehydrated yesterday then. Trying desperately to not feel too disheartened. 5 miles walked.

    2/13 157.0 (trend 157.4) Well I reacted to my disappointment and frustration yesterday by having a carb binge. Only 150 cals over but most of what I ate consisted of cereal bars, biscuits and breadsticks. Zero exercise, just a trip to the dump to get rid of garden waste. Feeling predictably bloated today.

    2/14 157.0 (trend 157.3) 1 hour at the gym doing cardio, rest of the day working on a job application form. I have booked an appointment for Wednesday to get my blood tested for thyroid levels. Calories slightly below as I had no appetite.

    2/15 155.2 (trend 157.0) Yay! Very glad to see this drop, and I know it's not down to dehydration this time as I drank at least 4 litres of water yesterday. I changed my usual breakfast from a banana and 100g yoghurt to 2 soft boiled eggs with 125g asparagus tips, I don't know if that made any difference to my digestion.
    1 hr cardio at the gym. I really wanted to use the weights machines, but as it's school half term here, there were groups of teenagers everywhere
    and it was getting a bit crowded.
    I'm aware I need to work on cutting down my salt intake, which is going to be a challenge as I rely on it to add flavour to bland food and it helps me cut down on fat/carbs. I also need to see how I can add more protein to my diet without increasing calories or losing fibre. I'm averaging 37g of protein a day, which is 15g short of the recommended amount. I have a blood test today to check my thyroid levels, hoping this will shed some light on things.
    Oh, and I applied for a part time job yesterday, after being out of formal work for over 4 years, eeek!

    2/16 155.4 (trend 156.8) Happy to have stayed relatively stable for 2 days, phew! Tried out some of the resistance machines at the gym, it was fun except for the creepy bloke who kept moving to machines facing mine and staring at me while he worked out. I scowled at him so he moved away and went to stand right behind a young woman while she lifted weights, very off-putting and uncomfortable for her.
    I woke up really hungry at 6am, I don't usually eat until 11am but will have to have something soon as my growling stomach is deafening!

    I I don't know what's going on; I stayed within calories yesterday and drank all my usual water. Maybe the Valentine's Day food is hitting me twice? I wonder if pre-menstrual timing can cause it? So much for trying to get at or under the 100 mark this time.

    1. Sometimes I see an uptick the next day, sometimes 2 days later for food. Sometimes it only lasts a day, sometimes it lasts a couple days. Check in and see if you find a pattern over time?
    2. I know, personally, about 3-4 days before TOM (time of month or some say TOTM, time of the month), I experience bloating and the scale either gets stuck and more often than not, goes up. I've seen as much as 7 pounds up for really bad months for me! One it starts, though, I start dropping back down again and feeling normal. Once again, see if you kind find patterns over time with your own body. I had no idea it could cause such a big fluctuation with me and now I don't get upset when I see a huge jump on the scale and I know it's about that time.

    I wish you the best of luck getting that under 100 mark!
