JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 23

brightresolve · November 2017

R22 * Start = 143.4 * Ave = 141.9 * Min = 140.2 * End = 141.2 *

ROUND 23 Start = 142

11/19 - 142.0 - ran 30 mins yesterday and under calories. This is the bounce, I get it.
11/20 - 140.4 - ran 33 mins yesterday, plus 2 mile hilly hike and under calories.
11/21 - 140.6 - calories almost even with .5 loss plan yesterday, small hike but that's it.
11/22 - 140.6 - major calories-in mess-up yesterday, over maintenance by a couple hundred. Felt sick and emotional much of day. Holiday approach without contact or plans with 22-yo daughter is kicking my *kitten*. No workout.
11/23 - 139.8 - woot first 130's weight since over a year ago!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Yesterday, ran and ate well under calories. Today, I plan to run and to eat at or below maintenance.
11/24 - 139.6 - Ran 4.25 miles yesterday. Healthy gourmet dinner, every dish (except the lobster) had something from his garden in it. Calories 200 below deficit.
11/25 - 139.4 - 30 mins on elliptical, under calories yesterday. Today: hike to the top of the little "mountain" on Angel Island, which will be easier without the 8 lbs I have lost so far
11/26 - 139.8 - Hiked 10K on Angel Island yesterday, ate back all my exercise cals but still just under my calories for the day. Bounceback is part of my journey, just delighted to still be in the 130's

11/27 - 139.6 - ran 30 minutes yesterday and did not eat back exercise calories, just not my best emotional day. Super healthy dinner and got very well hydrated. Astonished that I didn't bounce over 140. Bodies are an oddish thing!

@nikki062181 Thank you for the “vote of confidence.” I’m just extremely frustrated by the bounces! My migraines rarely were more than the unrelenting pain. On occasion I had the aura and the opposite of tunnel vision. That made it difficult to work!

11/19 150.0 I got on and off the scale 3 times to make sure this was real! I even took a picture! So excited because the last 4 days have included 2 potlucks and a buffet at Golden Corral for my husband’s birthday and lunch today with our daughter and her family.
11/20 151 This is okay. It occurred to me that I accidentally fasted from our meal on Friday until Saturday evening. I was visiting with a friend who is moving and realized when I got home that I had not eaten anything all day. I may incorporate a one day a week fast into my plan.

11/23 149.0 What a wonderful Thanksgiving with our younger daughter and her family!
11/24 149.5 Not bad at all after Thanksgiving. Didn’t stuff my self but was quite satisfied. When I thought about having some dessert in the evening I had a piece of turkey instead. This +0.5 is a normal bounce. I’m happy with it.

Hi Everyone! I'm back a day late. We were at a Hockey tournament a few hours away from Fri-Sun so I didn't have a scale.

SW- 182.4 in March 2017
GW - Was 145...beat this several weeks ago...so now I'm trying to work out how to balance calories and activity to maintain right around where I am. I seem to have lost a few more lbs though...was down into the 141's at one point last week.

11/17 - 143.6 - last weigh in before we went away for the weekend

Round 23

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - no scale
11/20 - 143.0 - amazing considering how much we had to eat on the fly over the past few days in between the 9 games both teams had to be at. I tried to make the best choices I could, apparently I did ok with what I ate and burned more than expected being a crazy cheering hockey mom.
11/21 - 143.6 - TOM arrived early in full force yesterday...peri-menopause is crazy, makes thing so unpredictable. A bit bloaty...but not too bad.
11/22 - 143.4 - not bad considering how hard it was not to finish that package of Hot Cocoa Oreos last night...limited myself to 3...that's a TOM victory!!
11/23 - 144.0 - the oreos won yesterday...but not the whole package...about 6 of them jumped into my mouth. Also fighting off a sinus thing that I'm determined isn't going to bring me down...
11/24 - 142.6 - lots of steps and stairs working in the showroom yesterday...I need to remember to take an extra snack with me to work now that I'm trying to stay where I'm at.
11/25 - 142.4 - I did not eat enough yesterday...we took the boys to the movies and I saved some calories for popcorn...but then ended up not enjoying it as much as I though I would and I hardly ate any. My tastes sure have changed!

11/26 -140.6 - ?????????? - Had a very busy and active Saturday. Tried a new work out and my glutes and hammy's are screaming this morning. I didn't drink enough water and clearly didn't eat enough...I may be a bit dehydrated...I expect this weight will bounce up again tomorrow if I re-hydrate and take it easy today.
11/27 - 145.4 - yep...that's almost 5lbs of pretty much water weight in one day. Chalking this one up to high sodium and carb day along with muscle repair from my screaming legs.

11/19 - 147.8
Planning ahead for a small splurge but mostly healthy on TG. We've taken to having sweet potatoes without the sugar & butter (and I love them neat anyway), and I limit the stuffing and make my own cranberry sauce with chopped apple in place of sugar (I'm the only one who eats it, and I like it this way). So the big splurge is pie, and I minimize how much we have. Luckily by hubby isn't a big sweet eater. (To get my pumpkin fix this time of year, I get pumpkin butter and mix a Tbsp into cottage cheese or plain yogurt - yummy!) Everything else in our main dinner is healthy. The past three years I've run a 5K on TG morning, but we're in a different place and I didn't enter a race, so, unless it's pouring rain, I'll do my own private turkey trot. :-) I plan to enjoy TG without overdosing.

11/20 - 147.8
Went out for a ginormous (though healthy) breakfast yesterday, then had an apple for lunch and a light supper, so I didn't go over my goal, but did, I'm sure, get more sodium than usual. So this is fine.

11/21 - 148.2
Aha! There's my big, probably high sodium Sunday breakfast! Ok, moving right along...

11/22 - 149.2
Uck. OTOH, I'm under 150. I may give myself a little weigh-in break the next few days so the likely small gain on TG won't make me crazy. We'll see,

11/23 - 148.6
Ok, I have a pretty healthy day planned, so I will keep weighing after all. I will have some pumpkin pie, but the sweet potatoes are sans sugar and butter, and I'm skipping the stuffing. I have been a little careless this week, so no surprise that I'm up slightly, and I won't be surprised if I don't lose anything this round. Holding steady through the holidays is fine. Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving!

11/24 - 148.5
Well, there's a surprise! I didn't exactly pig out yesterday, but I did eat more than usual. Today is very healthy leftovers + a piece of pie. And a walk - finally a day without rain!

11/25 - 148.4
The pie is gone, and the leftovers, so back on track today. Hoping to finish this round no higher than I started. :-)

11/26 - 148.6
Doncha love the time lag on ups and downs? I ate within limits yesterday and got some exercise, so whatever.

11/27 - 148.4
It's really nice to see the numbers from past rounds and realize that, despite the feeling that I'm "stuck" because my weight hovers around a number for a few days, in fact it's slowly dropping off. And slowly is perfect - as is not gaining! So, again, I'm grateful for this challenge and for all of you for sharing your journeys.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 173.4 Went out last night with the hubs and decided to get dessert after. Wound up eating above maintenance and the scale shows it.

11/20 173.4 Went for my second day of maintenance calories yesterday to help out the hormone levels. Back on my deficit today, and all week until a cheat meal on Thursday!

11/21 172.4 the weekend weight is all gone. I ate 3 oreos yesterday but was still within 5 calories of my goal, lol. hoping to see a bit of a drop tomorrow~

11/22 172.8 sigh. I have been eating a bit more than usual but nothing crazy. body fat was down on the scale which sometimes means I'm holding water. guess we shall see tomorrow

11/23 174.4 Wha? this was a weird weigh in.

11/24 175.6 not so bad considering the trend. I ate what I wanted, but no where near as much as I would have before. Plus I really on had the one meal, as I was cooking in the morning and driving in the evening. looking for a drop tomorrow- drinking all the water today!

11/25 175.2 darn how can there be only 3 more days left? Trying not to be discouraged by the number on the scale. My pants still fit great, and no one else can see it except me. Needs to be the motivation to stay the course and keep things rolling downward. This will be my first round where my average weight is higher than the last unless this trend changes quickly.

11/26 175.0 blah! went out with the girls last night. drank a bit too much and had some salty snacks. Plan for today: write it then bite it, drink 100 oz of water.

11/27 175.8 Wow, the scale is really going in the wrong direction. I am really hoping this is water weight, I got fitted for a new IUD a couple of weeks ago and I wonder if the hormones could have something to do with it. In the meantime, stick with the plan! We have a trip coming up in a couple of weeks and I wanted to feel fabulous.. so gotta keep it up.

KayHBE · November 2017

11/19 - 158.4 ... (10,145)
11/20 - 157.6 ... So I think the loss is due to getting back on track with my steps (13,169) and mostly water weight. yippee!! I survived my first 2 get together advents of the season. Goal is to stay with the 5's
11/21 - 158.6 ... Still a 5!! (15,488 steps) Didn't pack a lunch but still ate well. Wasn't overly hungry but got in 1200+ calories. Working hard at trying to get it together so so busy and it's not 'gonna' slow down anytime soon.
11/22 - 157.6 ... (15,200 steps) Had cake, no idea how many calories it was. So shaved off some lunch items and had a light dinner. Got my walking in and forgot my salad dressing this morning.
11/23 - 157.7 ... (12,700) Just made my steps, hit cal goal and packed a lunch. Busy day at work filled with donuts, specialty coffees and STRESS... Happy Thanksgiving to all US friends, hope you enjoy the day, have a great dinner with family and friends and whatever happens just get back at it tomorrow!!!
11/24 - 157.0 ... (19,160) Pizza day at work. Do I opt out or just get a small piece? Extra STRESS today as SO is driving half way across the country (Canada) in a rig with landslides, road closures and winter/rain conditions. Need to hold my breath for 3 days!!
11/25 - 155.9 ... ‘what what’. Maybe my scale needs batteries? (17,800 Steps). Goal to hit 20,000.
11/26 - 154.4 ... This is the very tippy top of a normal BMI and a total loss of (- 68.7) lbs. Since finding my treadmill again and getting my walk on I think I’ve had a few whooshes.

As per usual SO comes come in a few days so holding on to this will be extra hard. Oh yeah the stress has disappeared for the weekend perhaps that’s helped too. (20,549 steps). Off to buy a dishwasher!! Happy Sunday.

11/27 - 154.8 ... (17,380 steps) Went for a run yesterday, I'm pretty slow. 30 minutes and did about 3.76km and included a few hills, funny I am way better at running up hill than down.

This challenge helps me stay focus!!!

11/20 56,7 kg (125.0)
11/21 57,2 kg (126.1) had lunch with a friend yesterday at the restaurant, so couldn’t eat my food at home plus, bloated cause in those days! Will be good today!
11/22 57,00 (125.6) I’ve been really good yesterday, but I’ll be bloated for days....women problems :P
11/23 56,00 (123,4) didn’t expect this drop, I know I will get it back, ups and downs but let’s see!
11/24 55,7 (122,7) I’m impressed I have to admit. Having a dinner tonight so this won’t last that much! But hey I’m happy with it!
11/25 56,4 (124.3) My amazing man took me out for dinner last night in a Michelin 2 starts restaurant and we had an amazing night eating amazing food and dessert!!! Can’t be more happy! That was my cheat mean in 10 days, back on track already!
11/26 56,2 (123.8) thought better to be honest, yesterday I’ve been too good, under my calories even but probably I still have to burn thy huge dinner of the other day!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 216.8 - major binge Friday night and didn't track on Saturday. Not surprised
11/20 215.6 - coming back down. Really focused on keeping it together this week. Not sure if I'll make my goal this round at this rate. We shall see.
11/21 213.6 - Getting better. I hope it keeps going.
11/22 211.4 - Alright! Now let's see if I can stay down over the holiday weekend.

11/23 211.6 - Not to bad
11/24 213.4 - I'm OK with this given I was stuffed after Thanksgiving dinner. Morning average is still going down, so it is fine.
11/25 212.4 - Equal with my morning average now. Not a lot of hope for the rest of this weekend. Today we are going to my mom's and tomorrow is DucksGrilling (the tradition we started since we only have our girls for Thanksgiving every other year - they love it!)
11/26 212.4 - Holding steady. I'm amazed I haven't gained a ton over this holiday weekend...
11/27 213.8 - Not surprised after the DucksGrilling feast. Still down from my last official weigh in on Monday so I'll take it.

11/19: 163.5 Nice little drop there.

11/20: 164.9 Grrr. I am not surprised. Started a new level on my weights this weekend and went to get a massage yesterday. Had some wine and a delicious dinner afterwards. I am sore all over! Focus is on the water today.
11/21: 164.6 I've stopped tracking; need to start that up again as I think it will help me with eating better foods at a deficit (instead of maintaining, which is what I have been doing). Had a good run on the treadmill last night. I am starting to feel my muscles again!
11/22: 164.3 Had a nice mini hike with my son yesterday. We went to his favorite pizza place and I managed to order a half spinach salad instead of the slice. Really did not want to see a bounce up today! lol

Prepping for dinner tomorrow... stuffing, pie, and veggies are on my list.
11/23: 165.4

Okay, I have to keep reminding myself it is not about the number... but about my mindset and the changes I am making. I allow myself one plate today and one tomorrow and will get plenty of water, and plenty of exercise. Happy Thanksgiving!
11/24: 164.3 Nice. I was able to monitor myself pretty well. Yesterday I did my weights and 20 minutes on my elliptical before I headed over to my parents' house. Limited myself to one plate and I felt exhausted after eating all those carbs! It was quite delicious, though.

Back on track today; went to the gym and ran 3 miles.
11/25: 163.3 I have seen this number before. TOM came back. Couldn't get enough of me apparently. @tishawj, you are so right... so unpredictable!!
11/26: 163.1 A day in the city with the family yesterday. Got my steps in, and then we got home and cleaned up leaves, pulled weeds, etc. Needless to say, too tired to exercise! My eating was not the best; a glass of white wine and some leftover artichoke dip and chips should not have been dinner, but I had a nice green salad for lunch, so... balance?

11/27: 163.5 Celebrated a friend's birthday with a margarita and mexican food yesterday. I only got about 5 hours of sleep; dragging today. I'd like to end with a loss this round, so am tracking every bite and getting the water in today.

OK day for food, not enough water. My goal for this round is 159.
11/20: 161.5
Did what I was supposed to do today. A bit anxious about a work event tomorrow.
11/21: 161.0
Saw this about a week ago. On my feet and outside most of the day today. OK day for calories, protein, etc. Probably a bit dehydrated although I drank over 2L. Kind expecting to be down tomorrow but I could be wrong.
11/22: 161.5
So, I was wrong on that one. Glad to have the day off tomorrow. We go to a relative's house for the holiday, not sure how I'll do on food. I pre-logged some stuff and I'm not planning to have wine or appetizers, but I'm going to have to say no a lot.
11/23: 160.5
Today was very bad, diet-wise. No surprise but I had kind of a plan I didn't stick to. Went way over on calories, yet didn't hit my goals for veggies or protein. Didn't have enough water. Definitely had sugar. I did get a little exercise at least. It's only one day, have to move forward. Hope those who celebrate had a nice Thanksgiving.
11/24: 162.5
Well deserved. I guess it's a victory that I got on the scale. Today I got quite a bit of exercise and ate pretty perfectly. I don't want to let the holiday derail me.
11/25: 161.0
Walked quite a bit plus did some other exercise, ate under my calorie goal.
11/26: 160.5
So, today... Banana bread. I did get exercise, good on veggies, protein, water but I went over a little on calories.

11/27: 161.5
More banana bread, the spoils of thanksgiving leftovers I couldn't (didn't) refuse. I have a couple pieces left, and so help me, I'm thinking I need to go ahead and eat them now so I can get back to my no sugar added eating plan tomorrow since I already blew today. Mostly I just want to eat them. This is why I gave up sugar, it calls me from the other room once I get started.

Pregnant & gaining. Goals: hydration, vitamins, balanced macros, toning exercise daily. Honour my authentic self. Starting R23 @ 4 weeks into second trimester.

R21 SW 162
R22 SW 159.5
R23 SW 164.9

11/19 I overdid it yesterday and the expected hobbling pain came and I still hustled around moving boxes and furniture. I bought a candy apple based on the memory of enjoying them, but honestly, I only really enjoyed the green apple part. So I have added a new goal to this round: honour my authentic self. I am the girl who likes the green apple & I don’t need to eat/do/act in ways that do not align with who I am.
11/20 164.9 Healthy groceries shop, lots of greens in dinner.
11/21 163.4 Was in a rush and ordered pizza, then the snowmeggedon hit and I couldn’t attend my event anyway. Ate my bagged lunch- the avocado really paid off and kept me going. Dog walk was good until I overdid it.
11/22 came home with scary low blood sugar, ate rice crispies, milk and popcorn. Then when was feeling normal went about my evening and completely forgot to eat dinner. At least I was hydrated. Moved furniture into the new closet.
11/23 164.4 dinner was cereal and a protein shake, but lunch was super healthy. Had a nice long hobble walk with the fluffy pants.
11/24 165 just yesterday I was wondering if my lack of appetite was depression starting, and today it was definitely obvious. Hormones? No sunlight? Can’t really tell this year. All food is starting to taste gross. I just want to eat apples and cottage cheese. Maybe I’ll put myself on a plain meal plan, repetitive & nutritious.
11/25 165 we found my kitty after she was missing 6 weeks. Dropped all the Reno plans to chill for the afternoon and pet the cat and it was wonderful. Made a very late-evening lentil soup, but proud to have something healthy in hand with leftovers for the next two days.
11/26 I think I did really well today. Three healthy meals; yoga; decent water. Need to improve my sleep hours going forward, I’m not getting enough.

11/23 - 64.1kg - Still feeling like I have a brick in my stomach. Had a snack attack again last night so I am going to add a snack in for afternoon tea and see if I can avoid raiding the cupboards before dinner tonight.

11/26.....169.4... woohoo below 170, delighted

11/28.....169.4 at least I finished below 170.

Total loss 1.8lbs!! Now to get ready for the next round

Calimackey · November 2017

I’ve done a few of these challenges now and not managed to lose anything. On the plus side I’ve not put on either - so that’s a win for me. I’m going to really focus this time round. My goal will have to be maintenance because I’m away with friends next weekend. Here goes!

Going out for meal tonight. Need to be sensible and make good choices

Pleased with the scale this morning. Only a small gain despite having be away. Going to be extra good today to try to achieve a small loss this round.
11/28 141.5. Looks like the scales beat me. Thought I’d been good enough to at least stay the same. Just have to try again!

20/11 - 138.4 - So yesterday I ate all the chocolate I had left in the house. Exercised today, back on the wagon!! What is it about this time of year which makes me want to eat and eat and eat?!
21/11 - 138.0 - I have over eaten again today. I need to get a grip!!
22/11 -138.8 - too much food at work. I could not resist!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19= 223.8 lbs- Well, too bad this wasn't yesterday. I could have had a loss for the last round. Pretty happy to see this drop though! Now...to keep this number through Thanksgiving...that's my goal. Losing would be great, but I'll be happy to stay right here for the next 10 days as long as I don't gain.
11/20= 225.3- I didn't stay where I wanted but I'm still less than R22 EW.
11/21= Forgot to weigh before I ate breakfast, so I just didn't weigh in.
11/22= 225.3- Still holding; really hope I don't go up too much because of Thanksgiving dinner and leftovers. I'm planning to have seriously moderate portions, skip the rolls, and only one small slice of pie for dessert. Leftovers will be only for meals, not random eating anytime, and will not be an entire plateful.

11/23=224.1- Glad to have this drop today. Haven't eaten breakfast. Hoping to hold out til the big lunch at 2:00, but we'll see. That might make me too hungry to resist eating too much. Will check in tomorrow to update.
11/24=223.7- This is a great number. Did well yesterday and didn't overeat. Leftovers still for a couple of days though, so I have to keep in control of those portions.
11/25=225.8- Well, I knew last night that this number was coming. I'm drinking tons of water today to flush out the sodium. I added up my numbers for Thursday and Friday- total calories I went over is 1585, which isn't terrible for two days. Total sodium, however, was more than 5000 over. Hopefully, that's what the weight is from and drinking water will help it drop back down.
11/26= 224.8- Glad to see a drop. New week starts today. All leftovers are gone, except ham and turkey, which are both pretty low calorie, even if ham is high sodium. Happy to get back on track.
11/27=224.8- Can't believe this number didn't go up after yesterday's behavior. I finished off the pecan and apple pie-1slice of each which was more than half my daily calories. Then I still ate like normal the rest of the day, so I went way over my calorie goal. Plus, I was in bed or on the couch absolutely all day- I'm talking 1400 steps for the whole day. That's ridiculous, but I just couldn't push myself up to do anything. Emotionally, I was a wreck. Back to work today, so emotions go on the back burner and I can get back to normal. Hopefully, I won't see a gain tomorrow as payment for yesterday's laziness, but it's well-deserved if I do.

11/28=224.0- This isn't too bad. I'm didn't have a loss, but my gain was only 0.2 lbs over Thanksgiving holiday. Now to work on losing before Christmas gets here...

hjeppley · November 2017

Well, by getting my carb stores higher, I managed to drop my body fat % as tracked by the scale. At least some of yesterday's particularly high weight must have been due to water retained after beating my body up so much last weekend though. That seems to be dissipating. So a net gain of less than a pound but a loss of 2% body fat relative to last round. I did get in more strength exercises (some were in the form of my PT) relative to the past and I think that is helping the running.

I'm in for my second round if that's ok

Round 22 start weight - 151.40
Round 23 start weight - 145.80

I'm aiming to finish this round about 143.50.......

11/19 145.70 - only 0.1lb down but happy as its the weekend

11/20 145.80 - that 0.1lb has gone back on again but really happy as it means that I have effectively maintained over the weekend which is always a big thing! I know its wasn't fat gain but often used to "gain" 2-3 lb over a weekend so a good start for me for R23

11/21 146.00 minimal 0.2 lb on - don't know why as drank usual amount of water, did my 12 mile cycle ride, ate within my calories. But I am effectively maintaining which after my losses in the last round which were so much more than I thought, I am happy with. I am still 5.4 lbs down from where I was two weeks ago - yay!!! Non scale victory today though - put on a pair of trousers for work I haven't worn for a few weeks and they were so much looser so whatever the scale says today I have definitely lost inches so all good!!! Good food day planned and 1hr PT session tonight

11/22 145.1 -0.9lbs. Obviously last 2 days were a weekend backlash (although not totally sure why - can only be my Sunday apple crumble again!). I'm in the UK so no thanksgiving for us but a night out with the girls on Friday for chinese so salt likely to play a part over the weekend - must remember to keep drinking plenty.

11/23 144.8 another .30 lb gone. Feeling motivated at the minute - not sure why or how or whats different? Maybe its coming on here every day and "checking in" and seeing everyone else's comments - not sure. But feeling motivated, feeling good.

11/24 144.80 so STS. Chinese with the girls tonight - intending to stay focused and not go mad! Also driving tonight so alcohol not a problem - going to drink plenty of sparkling water

11/25 Didn't weigh in this morning! Late night and hubby brought me a cup of tea in bed this morning - a rare treat as I'm up first almost every day and usually weigh in first thing. A controlled night last night though - did have a bit of everything including chocolate cake for dessert but drank plenty of water and on track today so hopefully no damage!! 3 days to go and mini target is around 143.50 - 144.00

11/26
11/27 147.60????? how on earth ? Had chinese on Friday and a bit of chocolate cake and then a biggish dinner last night but no different to any other Sunday dinner so this seems a tad unfair

But no reason not to have a "good" day today, maybe up my water intake as didn't drink as much as normal over the weekend and see what happens. Impossible to put on 3lbs of real weight in a couple of days given what I ate and did record in MFP. Till tomorrow morning .......

11/28 147.30 0.30 lbs off - thats it ??? Cant understand why I am 1.5lbs up over the last 10 days ? Does one night overdoing the salt in a chinese takeaway take this long to go ? I did log what I and yes I was over but only by around 500 / 600 calories for a normal day ? Will keep drinking my water today, get my butt and go to the gym tonight and carry on as I was to be honest as was all going so well?
But on the plus side I am still 4.1 lbs down over two rounds so I will finish on a positive note. Bring on the next round

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - 149.16 This should be normal fluctuation since I have been sticking with the plan. Went to the pub for a drink last night, but we walk there and back which is about .5 mile. The cold and early darkness is making it difficult to get my walks in, but I am determined to keep at it as long as I'm able.
11/20 - 148.28 I hope I don't bounce up and down all round again.
11/21 - 148.28 Was surprised to see this number again today. I've been getting really munchie late at night but resisting the urge to eat more. I might try moving dinner an hour later and see if it helps.
11/22 - 148.06 Had pizza as a treat for dinner. It was well within my calories so I should be ok.
11/23 - 148.94 My sciatica has flared up. Trying to do light stretches to easy some of the pain.
11/24 - 147.84 We are celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, and I think I am going to give myself a day off monitoring every little bite and just enjoy my meal. I don't plan to go wild, but I will be enjoying a slice of pecan pie.
11/25 - ??? No idea where my post for this day went.
11/26 - 148.72 (after breakfast) Thanksgiving meal was nice, but Costco does not know how to make a pecan pie. It was the one thing I was actually looking forward to and it was awful. (perhaps a good thing) Ate only 2 bites and tossed it. Back to calories counting again today.
11/27 - 147.4
11/28 -147.84 Very pleased with the progress I have made this round.

11/19 - 185 - lunch with old friend and ribs for dinner. Feel like I made healthy choices so not worried about this gain.
11/20 - 184.2 - moving in the right direction. Introducing alcohol back into my diet slows the process to a crawl. Truly need to get a handle on drinking.
11/21 - 183.4 - Back to my end 22 weight, I feel good but the weight is dropping so slowly, all I want for Christmas is the 170's....

11/22 - 183.2 - Decided to meal prep and made a wonderful crustless quiche with broccoli, roasted red pepper, red onion, fresh dill, all the good stuff. It smelled delicious and looked beautiful and festive. I carefully recorded and weighed every ingredient for my log. I left it to cool on the stove and my stepson spied it and asked if he could have some. Long story short - he used a stool to get a small plate from an upper shelf and left the stool at the counter and when I walked into the kitchen next there was an opportunistic Chihuahua eating the quiche. I just wanted to cry.
11/23 - 182.8 - new low! Canadian's have already had our Thanksgiving day feast in October so it's smooth sailing for me until Christmas! Happy Turkey Day to my friends that celebrate it.
11/24 - 182.4 - Hubby to me, "Why are you weighing your new pajama's? - Me, "So I don't have to get on the scale naked tomorrow morning, duh!" - Hubby, "Sigh" (I like that he likes me naked, personally I think I look like a duvet, lol.
11/25 - 182.2
11/26 - 183.2 went out last night and had a couple glasses of wine and some potato chips. Expected.
11/27 - 182.4 Happy with this.. have a great day everyone

11/28 - 182.4 I'm good with this. Down a pound. See you all next round!

11/25 - 244.2 - Told myself I wasn't going to worry about food or exercise this weekend. I'm going to regret it come Monday...
11/26 - 244.4 - Today I am getting back to it. I really feel terrible eating like I have the past few days. Something I didn't realize was how I used to feel like this all the time. Now that I don't anymore, feeling like this again is a good reminderof why I'm making these changes.
11/27 - 243.0 - Not as much as I'd hoped to lose, but finally going back in the right direction.
11/28 - 242.8 - Ugh. I am disappointed with these past two weeks but I keep telling myself not to give up. I keep trying to remember how far I've come and where I would still be if I had given up. I think I push myself too hard and then it's too much and I just quit. So I'm going to focus on small changes again to get back on track!

11/20 - 149.4
11/21 - 149.4 - not too bad considering TOM came calling yesterday...
11/22 - 149.8 - I'd hoped to lose a bit to get a cushion between the 140's and Thanksgiving but...alas, it is not to be thanks to TOM. Oh well...not gonna let it rain on my punkin pie.
11/23 - 148.8 - there's my cushion...a little motivation to control myself somewhat today so it doesn't completely evaporate.
11/24 - 148.8 - Went over calories of course because the there was pie in the room, but did the elliptical before dinner, took a walk after dinner, and drank at least a gallon of water.
11/25 - 148.8 - under calories, but no exercise
11/26 - 148.4 - Not nearly as much movement as I wanted this round but a loss is a loss is a loss...it's all good.
11/27 - 148
11/28 - 148.4 - Welp, not what I hoped for, but realistic considering Thanksgiving.
