7/22 187: Walked quite a bit yesterday. I actually did more than my daily steps. I did decrease my calories a little throughout the day because I had a planned evening out with 5 of my friends and former colleagues at Applebees. I wanted to make sure that I could enjoy my dinner without worrying too much about my calorie consumption. I thought about canceling even though it was in the making for about a month due to family circumstances, but my husband insisted that I go. I am glad I did. I needed that mental break. I did enjoy it, and I stuck to my diet with steak, steamed broccoli, and water. Yes, it's red meat, and no, I don't eat it often. I stick to white, but red meat is good for my HDL, and I have to boost that up. I didn't eat any breads, even though broccoli does have carbs in it, and I stuck to water. I even skipped dessert and appetizers.

7/23 186.2 I denied myself pizza and instead made a quesadilla. Yes, it was still carbs AND bread, but since it's a tortilla, it was less. I even made a low carb dessert, and it was awesome! First time in a month and a half that I allowed myself something sweet, but I did it the right way.

7/24 186 ✔ I was really hungry yesterday, and I felt that way pretty much the entire day. It was so hard not to go and scrounge around in the fridge for more and more food or even to have a late night snack. I hope this weight holds. It was my goal for this challenge, and I'm now back to my premarital weight.

7/25 185.8 I started the 7-day walking plan yesterday, and I increased my steps by 500 from the goal Samsung Health had set for me. My legs are killing me today! I surpassed by goal by 1,500 steps. I'm usually out biking, but I wanted to shake it up. My body was getting adjusted to it, and when that happens, it's hard to keep losing (from what I read). So, here I am...trying something new for the week.

7/26 185.4 I put in my full 40 minutes for my walking plan yesterday, drank 48 oz. of water, and put in an extra 2500 steps to boot. I also tried out a quick and easy new recipe called "nice" cream on my kids to see if they enjoyed the ice cream that was on so good for your body instead of your booty. It was a hit!

Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 / 182. Weekends are hard.
7/23. 181.4. I was not expecting that but I'll take it. Not the best or worst day food-wise but my kids kept me on my feet at least. . Meal planning and grocery shopping today.
7/24. 180.4 !!!!!!!!!!
7/25 182.6. What? lol. I stayed within calories and worked out yesterday, so I guess I'm just holding on to some water. Some extra carbs too. Drinking lots of water today. Planning to lift weights tonight so I'll probably be holding on to more water tomorrow.
7/26 181.0. Trying to have a lower calorie day today and lots of water.

Rd 11 SW 200.2
GW for this round... anything in the 1's

7/22 - 199.2 just sayin'
7/23 - 200.4 had too much salt, was a bit disappointed this morning because once you see that 1 it's hard to look back, however briefly.
7/24 - 199.2
7/25 - 197.8 wow, 198 was my target for July.. I wonder if I can just annihilate it!
7/26 - 197.2 not certain how to process this quick drop off a plateau, after so long being stuck in the 200's

Goal for this week is to start exercising. I see the Dr. on the 25th and told myself that after that will will start regular exercise here in the house.
Day / Weight / Comments
7/22 265.6 -- A brand new number to start the challenge! First time seeing that five! A little surprised since we had ham for supper but sodium for the day was still between 1500 and 2300.
7/23 265.8 -- Staying with 265 even after ham one night and soy sauce the next. I really expected to hold onto some water. The scale is toying with me. ;-)
7/24 265.4 -- When I look up at the ranges for the two previous challenges, this make me really happy. Keeping within calorie goal is definitely working!
7/25 266 -- Up a touch but that's okay. I've been keeping under on calories but was a bit over on sodium. Seeing the dr. later today.

7/26 266.2 -- Today I need to start exercising. I promised myself I would start today. I've gotten good at staying within my calories. Let's see if I can do the same with exercising.

7/22 - 166 - whoop whoop!
7/23 - 166.4 - damn soy sauce
7/24 - 166.2 - right direction
7/25 - 164.6 - Finally some real movement...kind of crushed it yesterday
7/26 - 165.4 - LOL...I knew I wasn't going to get past 165 altogether. I'm already under my goal for this round though, so I'm good. There's a bacon wrapped hot dog with my name on it at the ballpark tonight, so gotta get some extra exercise in today.

Goal for R11 = under 195.0

Day / Weight / Comments

7/22 - 197.3 Up today. As long as the trend is down I can handle the fluctuation. Hello Weekend!
7/23 - 196.9 Busy day yesterday, outdoor work, also a few good workouts, including C25K W3 D3. Pizza for dinner, but still under calories overall for the day.
7/24 - 196.4 30.0 pounds down in 29 weeks. Happy dance!
7/25 - 196.4 okie dokie. Started on a big old spiral sliced ham last night so I am upping my sodium. Better keep sweating. Day 1 of C25K Week 4
7/26 - 194.7 It feels like the numbers 4 and 7 are transposed. I double checked my eyes. I expect to go up the next few days as I usually do when woosh happens. But I have eaten lightly the last few days - it's been so darn hot and I have no ice cream in the house to cool me off. A few days of poor appetite won't hurt me.

R8 SW 354.2
R9 SW 353.8
R10 SW 358.0
R11 SW 354.4

My 10 day goal is to get to 351lbs, exercise 7/10 days and log everything.

7/22: 354.4
7/23: 354.2 Went over calories, but still ate pretty well. I didn't drink enough water for the day.
7/24: 353.0 I exercised first thing in the morning, stayed under macros and went to bed early. Did not drink as much water as I could have.
7/25: 353.0 Meh, stayed under macros tho.
7/26: 352.8 I exercised, drank 88 oz of water and spent several hours outside in the heat. I indulged in homemade chili cheese fries, but did not go back for seconds. I stayed under calories, but I need to watch the sodium intake.

Round 11--SW 230.3

Round 7--SW 229.7 EW 228.3 Weight loss/gain: -1.4
Round 8--On vacation
Round 9--SW 235.6 End 230.3 Weight loss/gain: -5.3 (vacation water weight)
Round 10--SW 230.3 EW 230.3 Weight loss/gain: 0


07/22--229.9 Goal for the next 10 days is to stay out of the 230's. Went on a hike today, we'll see what the scale says tomorrow.
07/23--228.8 Hopefully this will stick.
07/24--229.4 Totally surprised. Had a lot of salt yesterday and went over my calories by about 1000. Still under 230. It may catch up with me tomorrow, but happy with the small increase today.
07/25--228.8 Drank a lot of water yesterday to help counter with the excess salt I had the day before...I guess it helped. I'm making sure to drink a lot of water today as well.
07/26--227.9 I'm keeping up with the water drinking. Also, the fact that I haven't done any weightlifting this week also accounts for some of the larger than normal weight loss.
