JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 7

06/12: 135.6

HOLY COW! I was so excited to log in and write this morning! Successes--I've been putting in at a calorie deficite pretty much every single day and when I'm not formally exercising I'm at least staying active. Failures--well I bought a bunch of pastries from my favorite French shop this weekend and chowed down so I had to work out hardcore just to burn them off.

Hoping this pound stays off and it's not a fluke! *fingers crossed*

06/13: 134.8

I think this is one of those random dips in weight after coming off of a plateau for what seemed like forever. Also I've cut out a lot of dairy from my diet as it was a major source of excess calories.

06/14: 136.2

I'm constipated today. Enough said. :-(

06/15: 136

Didn't really exercise yesterday but I came in under calorie count. I'd like to think this is a sign that I'm headed back in the healthier direction. We will see.

06/16 Stayed over at a friend's last night and she doesn't have a scale. I knew I was going to go over my cal count because it was a sleepover. Did 10 mins of HIIT though and am super sore today.

06/17 Forgot to check in yesterday but my weight was 136.6

06/18: 135.4

Spent most of yesterday being active: went to an outdoor farmer's market, then to the pool with my neice (who is super active), then to a soccer game. Didn't eat great though. Got to get back into the mindset.

06/19: 135.6

That's ok. I went over to my Dad's for Father's Day and ate some country home cooking so I'm not too surprised. In an effort to spare myself some calories I made up for it with 30 minutes (!) of HIIT. The old me wouldn't have been able to walk because of my knees. Today they are just fine-just a little tired from the intense amount of lunges (still can't believe I can do those again!!!!)

Starting Weight: 171
10 day challenge weight - 168
Goal Weight: 139 by October 31st

06/12 - 171

06/13 - 172.4 - grrrr that's annoying. I came in under calories and spent 30 min on the elliptical yesterday.

06/14 - 172 - better than yesterday but still discouraging. Again came in slightly under calories but no time for exercise yesterday. Determined to keep it up and see better results tomorrow.

06/15 - 171

06/16 - 170 - Yay! No exercise yesterday, but continue to meet my calorie goal daily. Doing the elliptical this morning. Typically do 30 min. Will try for 35 min today.

06/17 - 170 - did 35 on the elliptical yesterday and 36 minutes this morning! 4 days of exercise this week up from 3 last week. Did a lot of walking as well...well, a lot, is relative. My job keeps me pretty sedentary but had to walk up 6 flights of stairs due to a broken elevator.

06/18 - 170.7 - Ate sodium and fat laden fried catfish with a couple of hush puppies and fries yesterday... :-/ but already did 37 min on the elliptical and will try to stay at calorie goal and burn some extra calories doing housework today.

06/19 - 171.6 - I knew my weight fluctuated day to day, but I expected it to be going the right direction overall at least. I have been sticking to calorie allotment daily and increasing my elliptical workout time and days for the last 2 weeks. Maybe I'm underestimating my serving sizes...think I'll get a scale and start weighing my food. I won't lie it's a little discouraging, but I am not giving up!

This darn scale. It is driving me crazy!!! need to find some serious motivation to stay strong

06/13 - 211, Did Charlene Extreme Push 2 and walked for 60 Min with a total step count around 14k, total 1128 calories for the day 73 carbs, 30 fat, 163 protein.
06/14 - 213.8 - Walked for 60 Min with a total step count around 16k, also did a weight class. total 1199 calories for the day 115 carbs, 27 fat, 146 protein. The scale went up again!!!! but I am rocking it at my class first time I've been able to do that many push ups EVER. Here is to hoping tomorrow I wake up 2.8 lbs lighter lol
06/15 - 210.3 - WHOO HOO finally lower then starting weight. Did my crazy fitness class OMG I never loved sweating so much. 17k steps today Total Calories 1344 Carbs 97 Fat 33 Protein 174
06/16 - 210.8 - Welcome back half a pound. Dang you scale lol Did C25K today and got in nearly 20k steps. Total Calories 1225 Carbs 99 Fat 24 and Protein 170
06/17 210.8 - got in 20k steps and did another c25k run, yes no off day on that and I'm going to try to go up to the next week tomorrow. Calories 1200 Carbs 80 fat 33 protein 160
06/18 212.6 - yeap 2 more lbs. This is depressing. Not sure what to do I did another C25k and upped my running time by 2 minutes. It was pretty easy so I may move to the next week on Tuesday. Calories 1032 Carbs 100 Fat 31 Protein 109. Definitely not a good eating day for me as I got busy and just forgot to eat.

6/11 I'm in again.
Woke up at 150.4 today thanks to too many carbs and beers while camping.
Let's see what round 7 brings. Nothing but the best.

06/12 149.4 OK, some water weight gone. Under on carbs and cals. 30 on elliptical. Still 1.4# over from when I started round 6. Gain so easy, lose so slow, that's the story of my yoyo. LOL My goal for this round is to get in the 147's.

06/13 148.8 Yahooooo. 35 Elliptical (interval), trained, made cabbage soup to get me back on track.

06/14 147.5 Yes!!! Did 30 on elliptical, an hour of water aerobics, ate clean. 1/2 more pound off and I'm halfway to my goal weight of 132. I am soooo stoked. It's been slow, with ups and downs, but it's happening.

06/15 148.4 Ah, the dreaded fluctuation. Over on carbs, had some corn and ribs for dinner. I didn't over do it though so yeah for that. Did Elliptical for 50 min. Don't think I had enough water yesterday.Today I go to gym. Here's to a day of virtue.

06/16 147.8 Heading back down despite too many carbs yesterday = 1/3 of an Aldi's pizza. Doesn't seem fair that 2 smallish slices of pizza should pack so many carbs. Oh, but it was good. So happy that I'm logging food and drink and being so good to myself. I may be the turtle in the race but he did win.

06/17 148 No exercise yesterday; allergies had me feeling tired. Gonna go early today.

06/18 147 !!! Big drop for me that puts me half way to my goal of 132. I've lost 15 # since March. It has been slow and up and down but I am so thrilled to see continuing progress towards my goal. Happy Sunday.

06/19 148 Crappola, and that's all I'm gonna say on the subject. Got in 45 on elliptical and then walked quickly for 1 1/2 miles.

SW: 202.2 lbs
Goal: 199 lbs

6/12: 202.2lbs
6/13: 199.6lbs Drank lots of water yesterday and also did my first day of Insanity. Not taking a diuretic or laxatives but finally getting a break through. Hopefully, my progress will continue but to reach the 10 day goal already, I may not be able to get my body to lose more. But day two of Insanity is later this evening.

6/14: 199.6lbs A good day yesterday for diet and exercise, second day of Insanity completed. No movement on the scale but that's okay. I'm hoping to have lost something in my measurements by the end of the week. More than anything, I'm just happy my weight is staying down and not going up lol. I did have a late night snack of about 2 cups of cherries so good thing they did not effect me.
6/15: 200lbs Insanity Cardio Recovery, plenty of water and decent eating intervals.
6/16: 200lbs Had a bad day yesterday. I was running around and my eating schedule was thrown off. Didn't get to do Insanity, but walked around NYC for 3 hours sightseeing and shopping. I hope tomorrow is better.
6/17: 199.8lbs I did Insanity Pure Cardio and almost died, it was so hard, but I made it through to the end. Staying pretty close to my caloric goals and eating balanced meals.
6/18: 199.6lbs starting a new fitness challenge today as well as doing Insanity. I think today is going to be good, since I already know the basics of each meal. I'm happy that I was able to make it through the weekend without any upsets.
6/19: 200.8lbs I was confident about yesterday, and calorie and fitness wise, I had a great day, but I ended up eating like two hours later than I normally do and even feel a little full this morning hoping for a good push to finish out this challenge.

06/13 142.8
06/14 142.4 Stayed under 1590 calorie goal
06/15 141.0 Only had 1100 calories and under carb goal. However protein is too low so need to focus on that.
06/16 141.6 Too many carbs from late night snacking on chips. Why do I sabotage myself!
06/17 141.8 My husband is the cook in the house and our meals are rarely healthy. So I try to make the best of it on a daily basis. Instead of 3 slices of pizza last night, I had one slice and a salad. Had too many drinks though so too much calories, carbs and sodium yesterday.
06/18 142.4
06/19 142.2 Researched the Keto diet this weekend which inspired me to try and keep my carbs down. Yesterday ended with 1332 calories, 20 carbs, 89 fat, 83 protein. My daily carb average has been 99!

I decided today to do something I had never done but while enjoying Father's day festivities I decided to pre-cook my lunch and bring it along to my daddy's so that I wouldn't be tempted to eat anything unhealthy or that would make me go over my calories and I also made sure to bring my water. I didn't drink as much as I should have but I still did pretty good. I'm so excited to see the weight dropping like it is. Today I'll be getting in all of my water and getting a good workout in too!

Woow! That is seriously a great deal of self control you showed and your level of dedication is inspiring! Good for you!!

Just 10 days...

Goal: make exercise a habit, feel strong, get back to eating healthier. Goal weight is 120 lbs.

06/12 Today I went to the doctor and weight 124 lbs. I would like to lose about 6 lbs to lean myself out. Today I worked out for about 60 minutes and ate clean. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as easy as today.

06/13 weighed 123 lbs from this morning, just bought a new scale so I'm not sure if it's completely accurate but to say the least I tried very hard yesterday to eat clean and exercise. Today I will work on continuing to eat clean but most importantly exercise and drink more water today.

06/14 weighted 122.8 this morning. I felt so horrible yesterday, I think it was a combination of not eating enough but also detoxing all the sugar. I had a headache and it continued today. I drank a lot of water yesterday more than usual and I'll continue to do that today and eat more.

06/15 123.2 I ate more yesterday because I felt I wasn't eating enough. I felt the best I could. I also took a day off of not working out but will continue today along with drinking more water.

06/16 124 lbs. went out with a friend and drank. Didn't feel any good because I've been eating clean. At the end of the evening for a late snack I ordered a veggie plate instead of something else I would've ordered.
06/17 n/a
06/18 123.6 lbs. I had a mini vacation and was visiting with a friend. It was harder to stay on track when your around your friends. I didn't drink any alcohol, so that was a win for me. Continue exercising and walking my dog yesterday.

06/19 122.8 lbs. I feel so healthy today. I'm very happy that I've been doing my best working out this week more than ever, especially during the days I don't want too. I will continue to eat clean and exercise but my biggest hurtle is drinking more water. I want to try to buy another water hotter today, possible one with a diffuse to help me drink more water.
