(Pregnant & gaining max 1lb/week)
Round 19 starting weight 158.9
09/10- Happy Canadian thanksgiving weekend! Two main meals today, went a little under hydrated. Had a long dog walk, but it made me miss yoga.
10/10- 162.4. Under calories, trying to hit higher but I am nutritionally balanced.
11/10- 158.5 worked through lunch but ate a little. Work survey and a huge dog walk. Under protein macro. Still thirsty.
12/10-156. Hit good macros & all vitamins but when it all added up I was under calories again.
13/10-...
14/10-158.9. Pulled two 15 hour days this weekend, went to camp but had mostly salad bar, big meals but as nutritiously dense as camp is capable of. Forgot my vitamins, sigh.
15/10-158.7. Gas station dinner on the road. Potatoe calories count for something, right?
16/10- 157.7. Got into the pjs too early and wasn't prepared for the rotten veg in the fridge. Failed to be motivated for a groceries run in the rain. Hit the iron goal, thanks to vitamins but not even close to enough calories.
17/10-? Away from home again. Big meals, almost made my calorie goal. Didn't even exercise today.
18/10-? In camp again.
19/10: 156.2 (naked, lol, and before dinner today. May need to round up3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10: 226.0lbs
-> -> Went out for some air regardless of it being a klutzy bad day. Didn't over eat, nor eat my emotions away.
10/11: 226.4lbs
-> -> Forgot to weigh myself this morning, did so after eating breakfast, so not my actual weight. Didn't over eat, pretty sure I under ate, didn't have much energy today.
10/12: 224.6lbs
-> -> another day of under eating, maybe I caught something.. have no hunger, feeling queasy.
10/13: 226.2lbs
-> -> busy day today, running around town, made sure to eat. Bloated & swollen, in pain but moved around a lot anyways.
10/14: 226.4lbs
-> -> sick and bed ridden. Been drinking lots of fluids.
10/15: 224.2lbs
-> -> feverish, just drank lots of fluids
10/16: 224.6lbs
-> -> since I'm awake now, I'll post. Don’t think I'll be doing much as exercise today, been hit pretty bad with this bug, stuck in bed, guzzling fluids though!
10/17: 223.2lbs
-> -> was able to eat, so that's always good. No exercise today, still feeling off. But! I've made plans for tomorrow to get me out of the house! I will still try to exercise a bit today even if they're just stretches.
10/18: 225.0lbs forgot to weigh myself this morning, so not an accurate weight. Walked today, ate out but ate healthy and didn't log anything in. Getting air made me feel better so will make it a priorityto go out tomorrow too!
10/19: 224.8lbs
-> -> Not much eating today, had fever, but I managed to go for a walk in the evening.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10: 185.0 -going to lose 3lbs!
10/11: 183.8 - a whoosh! Or dehydrated? Very thirsty today so won't get too excited about this number. Would be good to have it there at the end of the round, though.
10/12: 185.0 - as expected. Going to do extra exercise today.
10/13: 186.2 - so I did the extra exercise, 15000 steps and I was under 1500 calories! I'm guessing too much sodium, I hope. (stir-fry with too much soy sauce). Need to drink lots of water today!
10/14: 184 - another good day yesterday. 20,000 steps
10/15: 183.4 -
10/16: 184.6 - pizza. That's all I'm saying.
10/17: 185.8 - Nooooo! I was good yesterday and did 12000 steps. Really hoping it's water.
10/18: 184 - yesss!
10/19: 184.8 -
Mini-goal for this challenge: 182 - didn't make it but it's been a real eye-opener doing this challenge. I've learned a lot and looking forward to the next one!3 -
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has got me back on track big time!
Observations, and Previous RoundsMany events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it is coming off, bit by stubborn bit! Stick with it! The game continues!
A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

10/09/2017: 159.2 Goals ✅ Normal fluctuation.

Holding steady! Yay!
13/10/2017: 158.8 Goals ✅ There's that bounce! Or maybe it's because I had my flu jab? I'm slowly shrinking. C'est la vie!

10 Day Goal: I would love to get to 150.XX It might be a bit much, but I will work hard to get there. I would also like to continue increasing my exercise. I'm hoping to average a mile a day.
Day/Weight/Comment
10/10- 152.68 Seeing this number again today is depressing. My 7 day chart is an upward trend and honestly there is no reason. I weigh and chart everything I eat and am always under calories. Just sucks. Got a mile in yesterday and am hoping to get another in today.
10/11- 152.24 I've been in bed most of the day. Think we are on round 2 of being sick. DS already started last night with a horrible hacking cough and I'm exhausted and achy. We almost had takeout for dinner, but I sucked it up and made dinner instead.
Day 2 of no exercise. Determined tomorrow to get at least a mile in.
10/12- 151.8 Woke up feeling awful today. Keeping hydrated and trying to rest between coughing fits.
10/13-152.02 Not overly concerning myself with calories. Over by 24. Feeling horrible.
10/14-153.34 I've been eating a lot of soup/broth, so this might be due to sodium. Not worried as it is not my normal diet. I'm in bed, running fever.
10/15-151.58 The coughing exercise seems to have paid off. (eyeroll) Feeling a bit better today, so far no fever. Stinks I won't get my weekend hike in. Hopefully the weather will be nice this week to make up for it.
10/16- 150.48 Nothing new to report. Still sick.
10/17- 150.48
10/18- 150.7 Feeling a bit better today, hopefully it lasts.
10/19- 150.7 Catching up on charting weight now. Very pleased I made my goal despite being sick and inactive the majority of the challenge.
