Round 25
12/09: 166.0 Started off the day with Dunkin Donuts for my son’s birthday.. not a strong start!
12/10: Didn’t weigh in, I know it’s bad though.. eating and drinking too much!
12/11: 167.8 Weekends are so tough..! I did horrible!
12/12: 164.8 I ate great day 1 down! Let’s see if I can stay this low tomorrow! Yay!

My goal is to reach 10% body fat by year end... actually by 12/30 because that is when my Dexa is scheduled. I'm going to list weight and BF% based on my scale, which is going to fluctuate at times as diet changes. On some days - and I know when those are based on diet - it will be inaccurate.
Round 22:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/9 - 149.6 lbs. - 16.8% - scale is reading higher than actual BF%
11/10 - 148.4 lbs. - 15.9% - scale is still higher than actual BF%, but getting closer to actual
11/11 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.9% - scale is higher than actual BF%, this time not expected
11/12 - 148.6 - 16.8% - scale is still showing higher than actual BF%, still not entirely expected. I have a theory as to what is driving the incorrectly high BF%.
11/13 - 148.6 lbs. - 18.5% - Yesterday was a re-feed / glycogen replenishment day. I'm surprised weight did not also increase, but expected BF% to be unreliable. I expect it to remain that way for the next 2-3 days.
11/14 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.4% - Depending on whether I eat a lot of fibrous green vegetables today, BF% will either stay pretty stable by tomorrow morning or will decrease. I may find it hard to feel full without lettuce or green beans... but since scale BF% is just artificially high if I eat them and real BF% is not truly much different, I'm probably going to eat greens if I'm hungry anyway.
11/15 - 146.4 - 15.6% - No veg yesterday, scale is closer to a correct BF%.
11/16 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9% - No veg yesterday again, and BF% is almost right where I would expect Dexa to come up. The idea that eating low carb green / fibrous veggies would affect the scale BF% so much is a relatively new revelation. Thinking back, the last Dexa was 0.3% lower than the scale on that same day (that is extremely close); and my scale is ALWAYS higher than any other measurement method or device - including other bio-electric impedance devices, which are always super low. When that last Dexa was taken and it was almost the same as the scale, I had not eaten plants for 45 days prior (except coffee, tea, and small quantities of seasonings and sauces). I still plan to eat some low carb (net carb) fibrous veggies while I continue to strive for 10% BF by 12/30, but will do take breaks occasionally to get a better idea of where Dexa will come in.
11/17 - 147.8 lbs. - 13.9% - Slight weight increase, not sure why... probably water weight. Another day without veg and BF% is spot on as close as I'm going to get to being real. Tomorrow is going to be high again based on today's planned diet.
11/18- 146.0 lbs. - 15.4% - Did not expect weight to decrease, but expected reported BF% to rise.
Round 23:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/19 - 145.8 lbs. - 13.5% - Did not expect BF% to drop this much this fast.
11/20 - 147.6 lbs. - 16.2% - Both increases were expected based on yesterday's food plan. Should see decrease over the next few days until Fri. morning, which will go back up again.
11/21 - 147.0 lbs. - 15.7% - Expected a small decrease. Expect another small decrease tomorrow.
11/22 - 146.6 lbs. - 15.3%
11/23 - 145.6 lbs. - 14.8% - Will be higher tomorrow.
11/24 - 147.2 lbs. - 14.4% - Did not expect BF to decrease, but maybe that is delayed...
11/25 - 145.8 lbs. - 15.2% - There is the delayed fat storage.
11/26 - 145.2 lbs. - 15.7% - Did not expect another rise in BF%, but I can only assume it is continued delayed fat build. Tomorrow will be higher probably of both weight and BF.
11/27 - 146.4 lbs. - 17.0% - Increases expected.
11/28 - 150.4 lbs. - 14.6% - Had a spontaneous free meal yesterday and paying for it with weight gain - meal itself was probably around 4-5 lbs., including water in food... so this is about right.
Round 24:11/29 - 149.4 lbs. - 14.9% - For this round, I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not sure exactly what to expect at the beginning, but should have lower BF% by the end of the 10 days.
11/30 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9%
12/1 - 144.4 lbs. - 14.7%
12/2 - 144.8 lbs. - 13.3% - I'm thinking this is about right again for BF%, but let's see if that holds for the next few days without changes that affect the scale calculation.
12/3 - 142.2 lbs. - 16.1% - BF definitely reading too high, but not sure why this time.
12/4 - 143.2 lbs. - 16.2% - Definitely unexpected BF... consistent with yesterday, but still incorrectly high. Unsure why.
12/5 - 140.4 lbs. - 14.9% - Some time in the bathroom this morning revealed what I think is causing the suddenly abnormally high BF% (no, not pregnant, lol). Solved part of the issue this morning, but still some to go.
12/6 - 140.2 lbs. - 12.9% - Before measuring today, spent a bit more time in the bathroom getting rid of more of what is causing the false high BF% readings.
12/7 - 141.4 lbs. - 13.1%
12/8 - 139.8 lbs. - 13.5% - I was expecting to start this round with some wonky numbers; but end up close to accurate and drastically improved weight and body fat %. Ended up losing 10.6 lbs.; about 3-4 lbs. of which was fat. I struggled in the first couple years of dieting where tracking calories didn't work and nobody could figure out why; but much learning and experimentation and I consider myself to know my body very well now and can call myself a very advanced dieter. That said, the 10% body fat goal by 12/30 is still going to be very difficult and a tight goal... but I believe it is possible.
*Next round will once again start with some high and wonky numbers at first and end up drastically better by the end.
This round should start with some high and wonky numbers, but should be drastically better by the end.
12/9 - 139.4 lbs. - 13.9% - Surprised it isn't higher, but might catch up.
12/10 - 150.0 lbs. - 13.3% - Weight has caught up, body fat should increase soon, I would expect.
12/11 - 149.6 lbs. - 10.9% - Not sure I believe the BF%; so let's see what happens. I expected it to increase along with weight.
12/12 - 147.4 lbs. - 11.0% - Surprised BF is remaining... eventually, perhaps I'll start figuring it is correct.

12/10: 217.4
Don't know what's going on! Eating within calories; exercising! Need to drink more water! My back has been hurting all week, maybe inflammation?? No matter; persistence is the key! Something's got to give, and it won't be me!
12/11: 215.5
Water and inflammation! I haven't really been working out like I should since my back has been hurting; now it's spreading into my hips and legs! Really don't want to make a doctor's appointment because I have one with the urologist on the 19th. Had one with the Gastrologist (sp) today, but I didn't make it! Tired!

Round 25
Finished 24 on 138.8
12/9 138.8 Same as yesterday, and I was so good yesterday!
12/10 138.2 Ok little bit down. Which was surprised about as had few glasses of wine last night
I really need a kick up the bum to get to the gym and get back into routine!
12/11 138.8 Hovering around this number I think this week. If I can keep it around here and under 140 over Christmas I will be happy.
12/12 139.2 Ok have to pull myself together and get back on track!!

This week is going to be rough - I have so many parties for work. I guess my goal is to not get too out of control but still have fun.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 191 - My strict week before holidays paid off in a new low. I don't know how it'll hold after tonight.
12/10 - 190.8 - This is completely unexpected. I'll take it. We had such a big dinner at the party last night I assumed it'd be pure bloat today.
12/11 - 190.8 - Holding after the weekend.
12/12 - 190.4 - More parties today. Got an appointment with a personal trainer.

Oh dear...facing the music from my wedding and honeymoon. Just got back yesterday and on the scale for the first time this morning. Worth every lb gained...lots of water today to see if I can flush out a lb or 2.
12/9 - no scale
12/10 - 155.6
12/11 - 152.4 - I have a feeling the scale's going to be a bit wonky for the next few days until I readjust. I'd feel pretty good about settling somewhere around here after all the debauchery in Mexico

12/09 - 144.2 hopefully I can hold onto this over the next few days. Today will be interesting, potluck lunch and pub Christmas party for dinner. At least there will be lots of movement with the dog competition we are going to.
12/10 - 143.2 might be a false blip but I’ll take it for now Didn’t end up logging the potluck it just became too complicated with a little bit of this and that but I think I did alright with a light plate and then I chose a single dessert to treat myself and try. Then at the pub I really didn’t want to derail things so I chose to drive and have a club soda and chicken Caesar salad so I think I did alright. More dog competition today and another potluck lunch so hopefully I can keep it up.
12/11 - 143.2 very happy with this number. After the weekend of two potlucks and a pub evening Christmas party I feel like I managed to mostly keep it together. Took the same approach to the potluck I did on Sunday and went with the small plate and chose 1 treat to sample. Hoping to keep it up.
12/12 - 143.2 ended up doing drive through for dinner which was a mistake. Normally when that happens I skip the fries and I’m usually pretty good but I thought last night I would eat them. OMG they were so salty and I didn’t stop until 3/4 of the way through. Ugh the busy holiday season is making meals a bit tough. Keep pushing for the healthy or at least reasonable choices though.

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. 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 but haven't lost in a couple of months. I am aiming to reach goal of 139 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/8... 140.6
12/09...139.6 Did a very energetic pool class yesterday that was so much fun. Today, another. Aiming to stay below 140 this round.
12/10... 141, well pshaw! Did another energetic pool class yesterday, ate within cal limits and finished eating early. What's up with this?Today, Asian food out (hello sodium), ellip and touring historic home. Come on 139!
12/11...142.4 Ate sushi yesterday=lots of carbs from white rice and sodium but so good. Hoping to see this go back down some after today. Gonna do some exercise... not awake enough to plan what.
12/12...141.4 Drank wine last night but ate within goals. Need to get some exercise today

12/10 171 yay! I can’t believe after a day of 2 parties I have lost weight haha! Whether it’s real weight or water weight, keeps me motivated to make healthy choices today. First stop brunch! Will try to order a salad. UPDATE: I ordered a patty melt with fries instead. Oops!!
12/11 - 175.1 .... wtf?! Not the best way to start a Monday but I won't get discouraged. It's all about long term trends! And I have healthy meals planned out for myself today so if I follow that I have faith that tomorrow will be better.
12/12 - 173.1 - ok it's going back down. This daily weighing exercise is just showing me how much my weight fluctuates from day to day, and it's ok! All about the overall consistent downward trend and making healthy choices on a daily basis that will be reflected on the scale days/weeks/even months from now. Yesterday I ate really well during the day and had an amazing Soulcycle spin class in the evening, but then I was super hungry afterward and I overate, so that wasn't good. I also had a big tall glass of Sauvignon Blanc with dinner, which gave me a headache and woke me up in the night. For the rest of the weeknights (Tuesday - Thursday), I am going to focus on 1) not drinking alcohol in the evenings, and 2) eating light dinners in the evenings and not snacking afterward. I meal prepped a bunch of yummy healthy vegetable soups so I am going to make those a focus in the evenings. Go team!

12/10 - 246.4 - Spent yesterday hungover, eating, and not exercising. This scares me. It's been over a month since I've been this heavy. I. Have. To. Change.
12/11 - 246.2 - I did my C25K W2D1 run yesterday. If I had had my food under control, it would have been a bigger loss. I'm trying, but being out of my routine is killing me.
12/12 - 243.6 - Thank goodness. I was really starting to panic that I was rapidly approaching the 250s again. Tonight is my run, so hopefully I'll have more loss tomorrow!

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance/refeed for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. I want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and I'm hoping to alleviate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 222.0 Eating at maintenance today. Going out for afternoon tea!
12/10--221.5 Finished W5D3 yesterday and other than having to stop to pick up my dog's business, I ran the whole 20 minutes. I'm very surprised of the drop in weight today since I ate at maintenance yesterday and I was definitely expecting a temporary weight gain. Eating at maintenance today. Off to kettlebell class.
12/11--223.1 There's the water weight from eating at maintenance yesterday.
12/12--222.2 Going to kettebell class today.

Argh! The weekend is a killer for me! Not in eating but for logging! I have to figure out a system for this because the weekend just completely derails my logging commitment.
Anyhoo - I will just jump back in now. Survived this past weekend of Christmas #1 - Way too many beverages and yummy food available at this time of year! Stay strong everyone!
12/12 - 220.3 - Feeling as though my chest injury is at a safe point in the next few days to finally try my new elliptical. It's so pretty....

12/09 147 I have a full day ahead and do not feel well! Stupid cold or allergies??
12/10 147.5 Crazy busy yesterday! Community breakfast bingo, three basketball games, Christmas lights at the museum, dinner at a casino buffet before free music in the lounge. Did not drink enough water!! And I’ve pretty much lost my voice.
12/11 147 Did nothing yesterday. Trying to recover from Saturday.
12/12 146 I am feeling better but this is a crazy week. Gran-girls have basketball 2 hours away today. Must remember to drink, drink, drink!6 -

12/09 :: 179.0 - Pot luck yesterday so expected this to be higher, but glad it’s not! First day of the weekend, hopefully I won’t screw up too much!
12/10 :: 180.8 - Ugh… Yep, that’s what a day of not keeping track of the number of calories I’m consuming does to me… Must try to be better today
12/11 :: Didn’t Weigh - Yesterday was a worse eating day than Saturday and did not want to see what that scale was going to tell me… weekends are going to be my enemy
12/12 :: 180.1 - Oh thank goodness!! Still not where I started this round, but at least the numbers are back to heading in the right direction!!

Start 10/18/2017 = 147.9 * Goal = 130.0 and 20 miles/weekR22 * Start = 143.4 * Ave = 141.9 * Min = 140.2 * End = 141.2R25 * Start = 136.6 * GOAL: 135.0 by 12/25 - so for the end of this round, 136.0 as a high weight.
R23 * Start = 142.0 * Ave = 140.1 * Min = 139.4 * End = 139.6
R24 * Start = 140.0 * Ave = 138.6 * Min = 137.0 * End = 137.0
12/9 - 136.6 - Yesterday well under calories, 29 minute run.
12/10 - 136.2 - Yesterday under maintenance calories but not under daily goal, no workout, to bed at 7PM. Felt depleted and borderline sick. Drinking extra water today and feel much better, planning on a run.
12/11 - 137.0 - expected this bounceback. Ran 5.5 miles yesterday, under calories for goal but ate well.
Having this "135 by 12/25" goal led to me being too far under calories Thursday and Friday, and totally bonking out on Saturday. Counterproductive! I am all about the system, not the goal, and I have to return to that system and "let" the goal happen, instead of trying to "make" it happen.
12/12 - 138.2 and deserved. Gross headache all yesterday, came home sick, ate for "comfort" and kinda, yeah, couldn't summon the "give a *kitten*" to stop. I did go to the gym and walk gingerly on the treadmill for 3.5 miles. But still over maintenance by a bit.
Rant trigger warningToday is a new day. Everything scares me today - I'm afraid I'll gain my 10 pounds back in one day, afraid Christmas with our daughter-situation fragile will feel horrible, afraid I'll make those thumbprint cookies in honor of my mother and just eat them all instead of sending to my east coast family, feel like work is over the top and I can't focus and should just retire, my shoulders and head are starting to hurt again and I wish I could crawl in a hole (and eat).
But today is a new day. Breathing. All of that is false evidence appearing real.

Hello, friends. I’m back after a much needed month-long break from weighing and MFP, and shockingly, feeling ready to jump back into it right before Christmas (go figure).
