JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 11

Started R6 @ 177.1
First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ... At a slow rate
End of R9: 170.2
End of R10 165.1

7/22 - 164.9 Lots of coffee today and 13,000 steps!!!
7/23 - 164. 20,000 steps on a ocean boardwalk and a hotdog for lunch!!
7/24 - 164.6 Will continue to hit over my step goal and prep some jar salads and protien for the week.
7/25 - 164.4 12,900 steps. Not really pushing myself but I do have a lot of energy. Like to do 15,000 steps but it's so hot!
7/26 - 163.8 Over 16,000 steps including an evening walk. Hit just under my cals and even had an ice cream treat.... Nestle Real Cream Maple Bars 110 calories. OMG such a nice evening treat. There is chocolate too!!

7/27 - 162.8 Hit a mini goal here... Goal to lose 60lbs before my birthday which is tomorrow. Yay me. My slow progress to 159 isn't looking so slow. Mine and my Mom's birthday is this weekend a few parties and next week is a big camping music festival that we attend so I'll be expecting a gain here. Now my next mini goal is to pull out of these 2 weeks and not fall completely off the wagon. This will be my biggest challenge!!! Please wish my luck.

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 whoosh 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.
7/27 - 195.5 Yep, here it is - whoosh then bounce. So yesterday I missed my 10K steps by ~500. I was racing the clock up to midnight, walking the dog very late. I thought I might get it in. So hot and humid. At 11:00 the temp was 83 but felt like 90. Had to get my C25K W4 D2 in this morning. Indulging today in a going away party for a really great boss. May regret it tomorrow.

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.

R11 SW 200.8
R11 GW 197.8

7/22:199.2 - Fluke? Who knows. But nice to be under 200 again
7/23: 201.0 - Utterly disappointing, especially after getting under 200, but weight fluctuations within a pound are pretty common for me. Hopefully I'll have better luck tomorrow!
7/24: 200.6 - On my way back down! I've been pretty stressed lately, studying for the MCAT, so my body may take this whole weight loss thing pretty slow. But at least we're moving in the right direction
7/25: 201 - something tells me I'm going to have to reconfigure my goal weight for this round *sigh*
7/26 : 200.2 -
7/27: 199.0 - hayyyyy we are finally getting somewhere!
