JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS| Round 8

Hello all of you beautiful people! Just thought I should stick some cliché quotes in here so we can remember to stick it out, wrap up R9/whichever round you're on, and go into the next round with good vibes only!
A goal without a plan is just a wish! 
No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch! 
If you're tired of getting started, stop giving up! 
A year from now you will be happy that you started today! 
Yesterday you said tomorrow. 
Your desire to lose weight has to be greater than the desire to stay the same! 
Even if you lose 1/2 pound a week, you'll still lose 26 pounds by this time next year. Keep going!!

6/28: 257.8 (so how about that HIIT. Ate terrible yesterday (talking chocolate ice cream, cheesesteak, fries, more ice cream) and did 15 mins of my version of HIIT and voila or it could just be that I didn't drink any water after the workout but I have never lost this much in a day doing machine workouts and thats including doing hours on a machine...goes to show that working the body old skool is better than the new sometimes)
6/29: 260.4 (the 260s is trying to hold on to me for dear life. I have to get outta here before July starts ugh.)

I'm in again! Hi, all. My goal, as always, is to lose 2# in 10 days = SW 147.6 Good luck and clean eating everyone!
6/22 146.6 This is some kind of fluke as I'm down a pound from yesterday. I slept late and woke up really dry if you know what I mean. But by this I'm down 3.4 from the start of last round. My goal was 2#. Now, on to releasing the next 2.
6/23 149.6 Seriously? up over 3#! Had lunch out yesterday: 1/2 a salad and 1/2 a sandwich. Maybe water weight somewhere. Gonna drink my share of lemon water today.
6/24 147.8 Went to gym yesterday and did my routine. Delightfully sore. Today: walking track. I'm trying a new approach and entering meals, snacks, etc, for the entire day before I eat anything. If I need to change something, ok, but this gives me a plan for the day and when I get peckish I go for one of the snacks I planned on. Gives me more control over sticking to the macros.
6/25 147.6 A .2 loss seemed so small until I realized it equals a loss of 1.4 a week. I'll take it. Did the elliptical yesterday and stuck below macros on everything. Off to plan today's menu. Happy losing everyone.
6/26 147.2 Put in an hour on elliptical yesterday. Went at slower pace as I read that 60-70% of MHR is the zone where you lose weight. Today: gym. Going to go grunt. Wishing us all success.
6/27 146.6 Yes! Did another hr on ellip as well as gym. Planning my day's menu in advance is so helpful for me. It helps me see the balance, or lack thereof, in my food choices. Today: aqua arthritis and elliptical.
6/27 147 Big Sigh
6/29 147.2 Too much family drama and stress and a Snickers and French lemonade. On the bright side, 50 min elliptical and 2 hours gardening. Planning menu and sticking with it today. Stress be damned.

Goal = 133 pounds
6/22 145.0 - Need to do this!!! My clothes don't fit!!!
6/23 144.6 - walked today before it turned to 107 degrees!
6/24 144.4 - walked today before it turned to 105 degrees!
6/25 144.5 - didn't walk today and now it's too late! stinko!
6/26 144.4 - 2.76 mi. walk with dog. The Delta breezes are back in the Sacramento, CA oven, so it was only 67° when I started. A little discouraged about my weight because I have faithfully tracked that I was not consuming over 1200 calories. Think I had too much salt yesterday. I'll be drinking my 8 glasses of water today for sure!
6/27 143.7 - At last! A break from 144.4!!!
6/28 142.8 - Doin' good!!!!!
6/29 143.9 - Attended a potluck last night, so my weight is up this morning. Watched what I ate, but likely more salt that I normally ingest. I DID NOT have the strawberry shortcake dessert!!!!! Good girl!!!!!

SW: 234 lbs (June 19, 2017)
GW1: 199
GW2: 160

Day Weight Comments
6/22 - 229.4 lbs
6/23 - 228 lbs.
6/24 - 228 lbs
6/25 - 227.6 lbs.
6/26 - 227.6 lbs
6/27 - 227.2 lbs - slow and steady. Also been eating over sodium so that's probably not helping.
6/28 - 226.4 lbs - stayed within cals last night but was sooo hungry all day until i ate a massive meal at night.
6/29 - 225.2 lbs - my scale died yesterday morning and i figured the drop i saw yesterday was to fix the results I was seeing for the few days before that. NOPE. A nice big drop this morning. Officially lost 20 lbs today from my starting weight set 2 years ago.

Round 7: 172.3
First goal: 170
6/22 - 171.9 > Well this was a surprise this morning!! Made the kid walk up the steepest hill in town with me.
6/23 - 172.1 < Huge after dinner hike and a Berry Protein Smoothie for dessert. Was a good day.
6/24 - 170.9 > Getting so close. Had a nice walk and (2) glasses of wine. Great evening and SO is home ❤️
6/25 - 172.0 <
6/26 - 172.4 < Ugghh a busy weekend with Wine and BBQ salads etc on both days!! I'm getting back on track and SO is away for at least 21 days ... I do amazing with my calories when he's gone. lol Hoovering above my 170 mark would like to hit this soon.
6/27 - 172.7 > Huh? Well this is the wrong direction. Thought I cut some cals and although felt lazy crawled off the couch and went for a long walk. Tomorrow is my weigh-in day lets hope this is a sodium build up. (fingers crossed lol)
6/28 - 172.2 < Working out all the weekend fun, sadly the weekend is just around the corner again. 20,000 steps last night of the biggest hills in town and hot out too!!
6/29 - 171.4 < I even had a cupcake!! BBQ tomorrow and I work in the morning so I doubt I'll fit in a long walk, Saturday I'll have to make up for it. Hope I can limit my calories and try and stay away from overly salty foods (Not a hope)

SW from R7: 215
6/22: 216.8 -- Boo.
6/23: 215.8 -- Better, esp. considering I judged a taco contest last night.
6/24: 214.8 -- zumba and music festival today. I expect this won't last.
6/25: 214.8 -- stayed under my calories yesterday, a minor miracle.
6/26: 214.8 -- Yesterday was a damn mess. I expect the scale will react over the next couple days.
6/27: 218 -- dear god. Stayed under calories yesterday, worked out, and had a good walk.
6/28: 217.2 -- At this point I'll be happy to be back where I ended R7 at by the end of this round. Maintaining isn't the end of the world, but...I have to step it up if I want to get anywhere. Under calories, stretched (very sore) and walked yesterday.
6/29: 215 -- *sigh of relief* well under calories and worked out yesterday.

6/26: 167.4 - TOM is here and I feel like reheated death so that's a thing. Let's see if I can hold to 167 or below.
6/27: 167.4 - holding steady.
6/28: 167.4 - I guess at least my weight is steady?! Hoping to drop tomorrow.
6/29: 167.2 - a small drop, but I'll take it. Been struggling to stay under calories so that's today's goal.

6/22-166.0
6/23-166.0
6/24-166.0/ I was reading and seen someone mention there scale was acting winky and needed new batteries, so I thought maybe mine is too. I weighed 164 then 166 today.... So I will see tomorrow what the difference is.
6/25-166.4/ I guess the batteries were good, still hanging on to the same number. Better then going up on a weekend.
6/26-166.6/ I think I need a new scale it gave me 4 random numbers so I picked the one that was similar to other days ugh. I had an awesome moment I fit into a size 9/10 and I haven't been in that size since 8th grade and I'm not 32 woohoo
6/27-165.2 woohoo
6/28-164.8 finally back down to where I was a last tuesday! Going in the right direction.
6/29-165.4 ice cream Sunday and carne asada tacos but it was yummy

Yes a full weekend of events .... I hope to move around a lot and I am in charge of bringing the veggie trays to a few BBQ's. Will try and fill up on those and have a burger with no bun for dinner. Good luck to you and a Happy Canada 150 eh!!5 -
6/21/17 weight: 136.6 lbs
GW: 132 lbs to start with
Ultimate goal 120 lbs
6/22: 134.4 lbs I was pretty excited this morning, my scale hadn't moved for quite a while before today!
6/23: 134.2 lbs Still going in the right direction. Ate well yesterday, but didn't have time to exercise, it was a busy
day!
6/24: 133.2 lbs Getting closer, the trick will be to keep it that way
6/25: 133.2 lbs
6/26: 133.2 lbs
6/27: 133.2 lbs I seem to be in a holding pattern. Time to get a work out in!
6/27: 134 lbs jinxed myself

SW: 202.2lbs
CW:199.4 (6/21)
R8 GW: 196lbs
6/22: 199.0 still trending down
I have a hectic day ahead and wont be able to workout so I'll make this my rest day instead of Sunday.
6/23: 200.6 yeah....not only did I not workout yesterday, I was out travelling, scared to drinking too much water, and I ate this ziti pizza slice that made me feel so heavy. I also got home at around 1am which also made me groggy this morning. Not really happy with my choices right now.
6/24: 199
6/25: 197!! Out of the house all day yesterday walking the city. Woke up and had to weigh myself again I was so surprised. This week hasn't been great for my workout schedule but I was able to fill my off days with lots of activity.
6/26 Wasn't home. No weigh-in
6/27: 197.6 Up from Sunday, but I have really been slacking on working out for these last few days
Getting back on the grind today.
6/28: 197.4 going back down. Did Insanity Fit Test yesterday and saw some good improvements, went up five reps for some of the exercises
6/29: 198.4 A whole pound over night. Not happy about that, but I worked out yesterday evening and just took a walk for lunch. Trying to make a push for these last few days, especially since I'll be traveling on Sunday and unable to workout at all.

Starting weight 148
Starting weight end of Round 7 Challenge 134.4
Goal weight 132
Ultimate goal 130
6/22 - 134.8 not really sure why, but hopefully tomorrow it will be below my starting weight of 134.4 from the end of Round 7. Got in my 5 mile run this morning as the heat was rising in So. Fl.
6/23 - 133.8 wish I didn't have 1 pound swings. I want to maintain this weight throughout this challenge and end a little lighter. My goal is 1-1.5 pounds per 10 day challenge. Working hard and being mindful. Happy Friday everyone!
6/24 - 134.2 Continue to be mindful. Going to a nutrition lecture this morning. Hoping to gain some insight.
6/25 - 136.2 Does not surprise me. I had a very good full meal at Bonefish Grill last night. Back in the saddle this morning. Finished my 5 mile run and back to mindful eating. We all need a cheat meal every now and then. Happy Sunday all!
6/26 - 133.8 Makes me do a Happy Dance on Monday. The more I come back to that number, the more I know it will stick. Off to the 9:45 class at the gym. And mindful eating
6/27 - 133.6 Getting ready to go to the gym
6/28 - 133.2 I changed the batteries in my scale, so hoping that has nothing to do with the drop (but I am a leary believer). I work out hard and try to be mindful of my eating. Hoping it stays tried and true. Would love to see 133# at the end of this challenge
6/29 -134.4 Fish tacos last night! Let's hope this is not going to stick (I don't think it will). But I do have Happy Hour with a good friend lined up tonight. And only 2 days to finish strong I got my 5 mile run in. And fit into a skirt today, that hasn't fit in a long time. So, I know I am headed in the right direction. We will see, it's a lot of persistence and perseverance.

I'm just going with it...it's not Canada day without a few beers on the dock...and my brother in law is making his famous ribs. Just going to be active with the kids and get back at it next week.5
