Goal: Continue to log all my food each day. Be under net calories each day.
10/10 - 260.0 - Yesterday I decided to give myself a cheat day. What a terrible, terrible idea. Not only did I gain (a lot! of) weight, but I was miserable. Bloating, indigestion, heartburn, listlessness. It's truly amazing how much my body has adjusted to my slowly eating better the past month or so. And to think that I used to feel like that EVERY DAY. The way I felt last night and this morning is enough to convince me not to eat like that again.
10/11 - 255.8 - I was not expecting to even get back to where I was, nonetheless to weigh less than that! I really focused on eating better yesterday. I was under my calories and I still exercised the same amount. I feel great today about my weight but also my body feels good! I'm not super bloated or have indigestion. It's amazing just how much eating junk DOES affect your body and how you don't even realize it when that's what you're used to. I'm so glad I'm on this journey - I am seeing now just how miserable I was because I'm not anymore!
10/12 - 255.2 - Wow. Yesterday was a real kick in the face. Found out that I didn't get the job that I endured 3 interviews for and had the person who DID get the job flaunt it. I was really, really down after that. I wanted to just eat a big, messy dinner of hot wings and french fries and ice cream. But I was good. I ate under my calories, I got over 10K steps, and I continued the 30 day workout I've been doing. I didn't sleep well, but that's to be expected. I woke up with a small weight loss. While I'm still pretty down about this missed opportunity, sticking to my better habits and seeing the pay off of that helps take the sting out a little bit. Tonight we have an event at my child's school - dinner is provided. Not really sure how to plan my day because they change up the dinner option each month. I'm just going to try to eat the rest of the day how I have been and make sure to get all my steps before the event. That way, if it's something really high calorie, I'll be able to work it off when I get home
10/13 - 254.4 - Yesterday, the hiring manager of the job I interviewed for called me personally to tell me that it was neck and neck between me and the other person and that I answered all their questions well - that there wasn't anything I could have done better. She's hoping to hire more people and she said she would keep my name at the top of her list and reach out to me if/when that happens. So, that really did kind of pick my mood up - I'm not a total failure haha. Last night we had dinner at the school - it was pizza. Two pieces still had me under my calorie goal, so I had some bacon when I got home (and was still under!!). I'm really starting to feel good. I'm energized, my body doesn't hurt, my digestive system is working much more normally. And I'm losing weight! I feel more motivated now than I have in a while I can't wait to surpass this goal and set the next one!
10/14 - 252.4 - Got a lot of sleep, so it's been like 15 hours since I last ate. Still staying hopeful that I'll continue this downtrend, that this isn't just a fluke I'm so close to the 240s, I can't wait to be there!
10/15 - 252.6 - I wasn't sure if TOM would affect me. Now I know. Yesterday I got a decent night's sleep, was under calories, and exercised. It's a small gain, but here's to hoping it's the only gain I have during TOM. Tonight is pizza night with the in-laws, so I'm going to be really diligent today.
10/16 - 251.2 - Yesterday was an easy day. I ate my 4 pieces of pizza for dinner, but I planned the rest of my day around it and made sure to get my exercise in. I feel really good about today's weigh-in. Now I really REALLY want to be in the 240s by the end of this round - it would be a great birthday present to myself!
10/17 - 253.4 - Well, I had a cheat meal yesterday. But I wanted my net calories to be in the green, so I ended up walking 14K steps. Still gained, though. I figure it has something to do with the amount of sodium or fat or lack of sleep, or some combination. Not too discouraged though, I walked 14k steps!! Looking forward to a loss tomorrow
10/18 - 252.6 - It was a loss, though not quite back down to where I was on Monday. I'm pretty sure I have a cold coming on, so last night I got a little extra sleep. Going to try again for that tonight. Not only do I feel better when I get more sleep, I have noticed that it impacts the scale too. Now I just have to get through the work day...
10/19 -11 -
Hello my dear friends! Here we go again! I think this is my round 18...believe I started in round 2. Weighing in daily has been instrumental in my success over the last 6 months, it's not all down...believe me!! I've had lots of fluctuations but don't let the daily (or even weekly) blips set me back...onward and downward!!
SW in March - 182.4
GW - to maintain between 145-150...but I want to hit 145 first
10/09 - 147.2 - coming in from round 18
Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 - 148.6 - weighed this morning but just getting online now to check in. Felt really puffy when I woke up...too much stuffing and turkey leftovers...and not enough water.
10/11 - 147.6 - been tracking breakfast lunch and snacks to keep them in check and then eating a reasonable dinner, figure I'd try it for a bit to see if that's a good way for me to manage maintenance since I'm almost there.
10/12 - 146.4 - YAY....long weekend bloat is gone! Could tell this was going to happen by the trips to the bathroom yesterday LOL....
10/13 - 146.8 - Have a feeling I'm going to bounce around 146 a bit...trying to take these last couple of pounds slowly. I feel great today though!! Looking forward to a very busy weekend shuttling kids around to hockey and scouts events...need to make sure I put in some time with the kettlebells, it's been a while!!
10/14 -145.6 - So much for yesterday's theory LOL....it was one of those days I forgot to eat... we had appointments at meal times etc so I under ate big time as I didn't prepare proper meals. Today we have hockey over lunch time so I might just indulge in some rink fries to make up for it
10/15 - 146.2 - This is kind of where I expected to be yesterday.
10/16 - 145.8 - like seeing that 145 number again. Hubby is away at a conference this week...makes food prep easier and more difficult at the same time as it means I'm more likely to make something completely different for myself than the boys...but if I still cook for two it lasts me two days....
10/17 - 146.6 - Normal fluctuation...calories and activity were good yesterday so this is just a blip. I expect long term maintenance will look a lot like this week...
10/18 - 144.4 - SUPER GOAL SMASHING WHOOSH!!! Got on the scale 6 different times in 3 different spots....couldn't believe it! It think it's going to be a struggle to learn how to eat to maintain....I don't really want more weight off at this point. I need a break from it and have some fitness goals I'd like to achieve over the next 3-6 months so my next challenge is to try to keep it right around here.

Losing weight doesn't seem to be working, so I'm going to concentrate on getting taller!

09/10 - 198.2 - I had a rough R18, my weight went up, I am still waiting on a physio appointment (which is likely to be next year) and I am in a lot of pain almost constantly, exercising is very difficult for me at the moment, walking and upper body strength / stretch is all I can manage, this 10 days I am cutting a further 200 calories from my daily goal to compensate for the lack of movement.

10/10- 194.4 this happened to me last round and I changed my goal, but it didn't stick. I'm going to ride it out for a couple days this time just to see. Exercise- didn't fit it in today. I'll try to add extra throughout the next 9 days to have an average of 15 minutes a day throughout the 10 days.
10/11- 194.8
10/12- 194.8
10/13-194.8
10/14-194.4 -194 has decided to stick around for a while and for good reason! I have been slacking. Pizza and cake one night and buffet food last night. Defiantly made poor choices. Infact... last night I didn't even finish my log. On to making today great!
10/15- 193.8 ate under calories even those it wasn't very healthy choices, lots of festival fun. Hit over 10,000 steps too! I have really been awful at my exercise goal. I need to do better.
10/16- 193- I am really happy with the progress made so far this round. I hope it continues to go this direction!
10/17- 192.4 - I don't know how this is possible, but I'll take It! Under Calories, no exercise other than doing more than I normally do around the house. I go the the Dr. Tomorrow for an official 1 month weigh in.
10/18- 192.2 - I'm pretty happy with progress so far this round. Had pizza for dinner and a late night snack. 200 Calories over yesterday and my stomach was upset this morning.

UGW 145-149
Round 18 average weight 176.6
Start this round 177.0
Goal this round <173
10/10 177.0
this makes me feel like I've made no progress, as the previous round I had several days at 175. But It's probably still just water weight from vacation. I also am having a tough time getting back in the game mentally. I want to eat salty and sugary things, not fruits and vegetables! Ok.. enough whining. Plan for today is to stick with the plan. Measure my portions and drink all my water.
10/11 176.2 scale is moving in the correct direction. Another 1.2 and I'll be back to my low weight of last round. I really didn't think it would take this long! But oh well keep moving on! I did have a (large) glass of wine last night. Still within my calories so no problems there. Hit the gym this AM and ran a mile, then my weight program (Strong Curves) and had an amazing bowl of oatmeal with peaches, flax, chia, and protein powder. .so yummy!
10/12 175.6 I'm still not down to last week's low, but at least the scale is in the right direction
10/13 175.6 have a gala to go to tonight. eat beforehand, don't eat at the catered event? eat 2 smaller meals today and hope for the best tonight? those things are so impossible to track and I want the scale to be DOWN tomorrow, not up
10/14 177.2 welp, that's 1.5 lbs of water from eating salty snacks last night. I'm estimating that I ate a bit over maintenance yesterday mostly due to alcohol and tortilla chips! but.. resuming my regularly scheduled programming today (with a bit of a hangover). Next a road trip for the next couple of days.. gotta hang tight and bring my travel scale with me to make sure I don't go over!
10/15 traveling no scale
10/16 traveling no scale
10/17 179.6 wah.. well I stayed within my calories on one day and went only slightly over on the other. but I ate pizza, and had some drinks. Hopefully this will drop off quickly, but I don't think I'm going to see my goal this round. Fortunately I have no trips planned for quite a bit, so can tighten up my eating and get the scale moving the correct direction.
10/18 175.6 Wow! how's that for some water weight! 4 lbs, dang.

10/10. 219.9 - gained 2.7lbs over thanksgiving weekend. Im ready to lose that fast and then 2-3 more pounds. Gym and walk today. Within calories. Good day!
10/11 - 218.4.. in the right direction. 1.2lbs to go to be back at my lowest. Gym and food prep today!
10/12 - 217.3 - 0.1 more to go until my lowest. Out for a walk. No gym today.
10/13 - 214.9!!!!! Most of this is because i had a really early dinner and went to bed early, so it will probably bounce back up, but ill enjoy seeing that 4 for now. Baseball tonight. Knees hurting from walk yesterday so no gym/walk this weekend.
10/14 - 215.8 - expected but still happy with this. I also over ate on calories with a slice of pizza, 2 90 cal chocolate treats and some crackers. Crazy cravings for sweets! Today is a new say. 2 baseball games!
10/15 - 215.6 - back in the right direction. I ate lots of snacks and crackers. Bad cravings still. Could have been worse. Having a family day at home as it is raining. I will stay on track with food!
10/16 - 216.0 - wrong way! Gotta get back down to those 4s! At the gym now and may squeeze in a walk with the baby today. Knee brace on so hopefully that prevents any pain.
10/17 - 215.0 - back on track woohoo. Made goal. Let's see how much lower i can get in 2 days!
10/18 - 216.0 - back up due to snacks and wendys! Hopefully i can finish in the 5's!. Going for a little walk today hopefully. Been feeling stressed about this busy week. I think i will.be taking one 10 day session off while on my trip and enjoy... then do damage control when i get back.
10/199 -
Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Ended Round 18 at 141.8. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years.
10/9 141.8
10/10- 140.6 Gym and pool yesterday. Pool again today.
10/11- 141 .. Did pool class, ran around errands and went to movies late which equalled some - not a lot - of candy beyond when I usually stop eating. Didn't get much sleep. I'll be back down tomorrow.
10/12- 141.2 Slept a lot yesterday. Swollen lymph gland, blah humbug.
10/13- 141.6 Wrong direction.
10/14- 141 ok, some better. Did gym and pool class yesterday. Also, a little gardening. Half way through this round. I need to lose at least 1.1 # to reach goal. Fingers crossed.
10/15- 141.4 Water retention from a couple of dirty martinis? Walked in the park for a while. Going to get to gym and outside for a bit today.
10/16- 141.4 Well this is starting to get disheartening. I've been bouncing around this number for a month despite exercise and diet. I did 70 min on ellip yesterday, a little high on carbs but at goal for cals. Lots of water. Sigh
10/17- 141.6 Could swear. Did pool class yesterday. ate sensibly but maybe too many of calories were at end of day thanks to a long nap.
10/18- 141 Did pool class yesterday and lots of veggies and water.

10/12 - 175.8 - It's a good thing!

10/14 - 172.9 - I'm pretty sure that this is probably still water weight coming off from the beginning of the Whole30, but hey, I'll take it whatever way I can get it!!
10/15 - 174.5 - Was expecting this. Lots of sodium yesterday
10/16 - 174 - Oh yeah!! On the way back down.
10/17 - 174.2 - Regular blip in the programming
10/18 - 174.4- Hello! You are going the wrong way. Please turn around and go down! That's what I get for blowing off my Whole30 yesterday. Silly me! I'll get back on track today!

10/14 180.6 - I'm doing a happy dance! We have a friend's birthday party tonight, so there will be drinking and dancing. I'm going to hope that the dancing will offset the drinking
10/15 181.2 - not as bad as I thought it would be. Maybe, just maybe I can make it to my goal weight for this round.
10/16 184.4 - And back again! We have interviews so I'll be running around all over the place this morning. Maybe that'll make a difference.

Ultimate Goal Weight: 125
10/10: Welp...I am at 172 today. I don't know why. I ate well. Stayed under calories actually. Walked quite a bit. Maybe it was due to water retention because I biked 6 miles. Idk. Hmmm....
10/11: I'm still at 172. I know I went over on my sodium, which is something I rarely ever do because I'm not a big salt person. I'll lose this pound eventually. I'm still at a 30 lb loss and am happy about that.
10/12: Well, the number 172 is really liking me. I also noticed a trend. One round I barely lose anything and usually do not reach my goal. The next round, I meet my goal and the last rounds goal. Interesting.
10/13: It's Friday the 13th, and that's so creepy! Also, I'm at 171.8. I have been incredibly hungry this week. I've been eating my calories and almost all the extra calories you get from exercise. Maybe that's why there isn't a loss yet. Oh well, I'm still happy and not going to stress.
10/14: I met my calorie goal yesterday. Shocking! I'm at 171 lbs today. So, I am back to where I started. Let's see if it sticks around this time.
10/15: So, I'm back to 172. This number must really like me. I walked a lot yesterday since I took my youngest son to a pumpkin patch. I also biked 5 miles.
10/16 172 again.
10/17 172 again...did not eat breakfast but took a Sprite to work. First time in about 5 months. Felt horrid and wanted to settle my tummy.
10/18 171.8 *sigh*
