11/9 152.5 Well, is this my new “stuck point?”
‪11/10 151.5‬ Come on now, down, down, down...
‪11/11 152‬ Oh come on scale! I spent a lot of time working in the kitchen yesterday, baking Keto bagels and pizza crust. Didn’t eat much all day and drank over a gallon of water!
‪11/12 153‬ My appetite is almost nothing but after picking up friends at the airport we all went out for pizza. I only ate the toppings. I’m sure this is water but it is still frustrating!
‪11/13 152.5‬ Okay with this, think I didn’t drink enough water. (I love that my phone gave me a choice of water, a water drop emoticon, or vodka!)
‪11/14 152.5‬ again
11/15 153 Groan! Just home from art quilt holiday potluck. Made good choices but had to toss fruit that had been sugared. Accidentally erased all info from my earlier posts. Will search back to restore! Whoo, thank goodness.
11/16 152.5 Community Thanksgiving potluck tonight. I can do this!

SW: 174
Round 12: 171.4
Round 13: 168.6
Round 15: 163.3
Round 16: 164.4
Round 18: 164.1
Round 20: 165
Round 21: 164.5

11/9: 162.1 Got my new bluetooth scale yesterday, so weight will probably adjust. Had a good day yesterday. Managed my portions well and went out in the cold and rain to the gym to do my C25K. Have finished the 5K part, now I am going back a few weeks and upping the speed.
11/10: 163.2 This seems a little more realistic! Yesterday's drop probably due to a weird perimenopausal TOM I was having all week? Maybe the new scale, too? I was really hungry yesterday, and very busy at work. Got my exercise and water in, but didn't track.
11/11: 163.4 Felt good yesterday. Not feeling deprived, and my body feels stronger because of the exercise. I guess if I wanted to lose faster I could severely limit certain foods, but with the holidays coming, my mind and body are not prepared for that. It's all about balance. Which is so hard to achieve sometimes!
11/12: 164.5 Had a good day cleaning, laundry, good workout, a little shopping with my daughter... but did have some wine and salt & vinegar pop chips (my weakness) and a higher calorie dinner than normal. Could barely get my rings off this morning. Back to paying closer attention to sodium and calories, so will *sigh* start tracking again today.
11/13: 164.1 Was more mindful of the sodium, but still went over by 104mg yesterday. Really going to focus these next five days.
11/14: 164.5 In a holding pattern. Dental work yesterday... but managed to get my workout in and walk the dog. Didn't quite make my steps and really did not get enough water.
11/15: 164.9 Not the direction I want to be heading. Cold rain and dark evenings got me down... it always takes me a couple of weeks to adjust to this time change.
11/16: 165 And there it is. I know why this is happening... my diet is just too carbohydrate-rich right now. The only thing that is not keeping me from gaining at a faster rate is the hour of exercise I do each day. Last night I got home and said, "I'm not gonna do my workout, I am too tired..." but then I did. So, need to be mindful of food so it all comes together!

The Plan: Lots of water, averaging under 1300 calories per day across the 10 days, moving more (getting back to my yoga practice and dusting off my kettlebells in the house) and keeping my carbs, sodium and alcohol low.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/9 - 63.9kg (-0.8kg)- The scale is absolutely messing with me. 800g overnight? I wish! I'm not changing my mini-goal until I see this stick for a few days. And when it does - then I will celebrate haha YAY
11/10 - 63.6kg (-0.3kg) - This is not a drill people! The loss is real. I'm still tossing up where to reset my mini-goal to as I am away for a conference at the end of the challenge. Hmmmmm. Getting a big walk in today and sticking to gin and sodas tonight at the pub.
11/11 - 63.9kg (+0.3kg) - Well I didn't get that walk OR stick to gin and sodas at the pub. Oops. Weekend weight gain totally expected. More to come tomorrow.
11/12 - 64.2kg (+0.3kg) - I'm super happy that my usual weekend heavier weight is actually lower than my lowest weight last round! Had friends around to watch multiple games of football yesterday and ate all the food and drank all the beer. Back on the wagon today with a walk and IF.
11/13 - 64.4kg (+0.2kg) - I am starting at a new yoga studio tonight too which I am looking forward to! Also looking forward to losing my weekend water weight haha. Making plans today for managing my intake while I'm away at this conference later in the week.
11/14 - 63.7kg (-0.7kg) - Yaaaaaay! I finally feel like the plan is working for the first time in years. It's tough, like really tough, but I have faith in the science and it's paying off! I really feel like my body is bouncing back from minor weekend indulgences a lot better Today I am focusing on water intake as I have been feeling a bit under the weather. Going to prep some stuff to take away to this conference with me too. BYO crudites haha.
11/15 - 63.3kg (-0.4kg) - Ooo that's a nice follow up from yesterday! It's my lowest weight this round and in the last decade! Also only 100g away from my revised mini-goal. Maybe I'll rethink my Chinatown dinner plans hmmm. Looking forward to getting back to my scale Saturday morning!
11/16 - away from scale - stressed out and dehydrated. Went a bit nuts at the conference lunch. Making up for it tonight with a light dinner. Still hoping to make goal for Saturday.
11/17 - away from scale
11/18 - Mini goal revised to 63.2kg

Here we go again!!! Back in for round 22 (my round 20). I'm proof that this works...trust the process and the weight will come off. It's not all down...lots of ups along the way. This daily check in group has been a huge part of keeping me going. Many thanks to all of you who have been around for the long haul and welcome to the newbies in round 22, you're going to love it here!!

SW - 182.4 in March 2017
GW - 145 - hit this target a couple of rounds ago...now checking in daily as I figure out how to maintain this for the long term

There was an update on my Garmin app last week that has a rolling 7 day average on the home screen. I think that if I keep an eye on this to make sure the number stays in the 145 range I'll be golden!!

11/08 - 145.4 - coming in from round 21

Day/Weight/Comment
11/9: - 144.6 - had a great run yesterday and ate well (probably a bit under maintenance). Looks like we're getting snow tonight so that may have been my last trail run for a while, not sure I'll brave the bluffs in the snow. So I'll be heading to the basement for my workouts in the mean time...elliptical and kettlebells...
11/10: - 144.2 - Lots of steps in the showroom yesterday and a bit of a calorie deficit to give me a buffer for the weekend meals and cocktails. There are 3" of snow on the ground and it's -25C with the wind chill this morning so I put on my workout gear instead of my running gear when I got up this morning. The dog is going to be very disappointed...
11/11: - 144.6 - right where I expected.
11/12: - 146.6 - Wine and salty snacks...but not over 7000 calories worth...so this is mainly water retention. I should see it gone in the next couple of days with lots of water and watching the sodium.
11/13: - 147.2 - I did NOT do a great job of NOT shoving food in my face over the weekend. It's Monday...time to buckle down for a new week. 7 day rolling average is still in the 145's...need to make sure it stays there.
11/14: - 145.0 - Amazing what a low carb, low sodium day with lots of hydration can do to flush away the excess water retention.
11/15: - 142.6 - SAY WHAT!! So apparently a whoosh is possible even when not actively trying to lose more weight! I'm going to assume that I've still been eating at a deficit while trying to figure out my maintenance calories...and my salty boozy weekend masked what I actually lost. I'm less than half a pound away from 40lbs lost since March...more than I intended but I'll own it

11/16: - 141.8 - I'm kind of blown away!! I've had a very anxious and emotional few days which has taken away my appetite so I know my calories have probably been way too low to maintain...but I was not expecting this much of a drop.

I'm in again! Thanks for keeping this going. It's easy to feel we're not progressing or we're slower than everyone else, but seeing the round by round numbers and other people's ups as well as downs is reassuring and inspiring.

11/9 - - 148.6
That's an encouraging start. :-) Weather is on and off, but I'm hoping to sneak in a walk today between rains.

11/10 - 147.2
Woot! I see my internal fat hoarder has finally decided to let go of some of her treasures. About time! I don't expect it to happen again for a while, but that's okay. This will keep me sticking to the plan for the next 7.2 pounds at least!

11/11 - 148.2
I thought yesterday might be a fluke. That's ok. Still moving the right direction and sticking to eating plan.

11/12 - 148.2
Heading out for a long walk - expecting rain later and the rest of the week and big winds tomorrow. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

11/13 - 149
I have no idea - has to be sodium. Bouncy bouncy.

11/14 - 148.6
This is good, since I went over by a couple hundred calories yesterday and my sodium was higher than normal. My exercise is on again, off again, because of cold rain. I need to find an indoor option, but don't want to join a gym as we're moving in a few months. Maybe jumping jacks in my bedroom!

11/15 - 148.6
I was on target yesterday, so I guess this is from the day before. I'm trying to take the long view, but I'm feeling a bit frustrated at the moment. Sigh.

11/16 - 148.6
Okay then. I was on target yesterday and my average the past week is on target, so ppffftttttt.
