"Don't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do." - Orebela Gbenga

Start 10/18/2017 = 147.9 * Goal = 130.0 and 20 miles/week

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

R25 * Start = 136.6 * GOAL: 135.0 by 12/25 - so for the end of this round, 136.0 as a high weight.

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.
12/13 - 137.4 - ate right at calories for slow loss yesterday, no workout (planned due to schedule). Feeling better but still a little knocked-down. Looking forward to a nice workout today for stress relief.

12/14 - 137.4 - ate under calorie goal yesterday and got a kick *kitten* workout. Still pretty anxious and stressed though so let's do that again.

Hello!!! Looking forward to another 10 days with all of you!!

SW- 182.4 in March 2017
GW - 145 - smashed this mid October

My daily weighing has taken on a new purpose as I enter my 3rd month of working on maintaining my weight under 145...so far so good!!

12/08 - 144.4 - coming in from round 24 with a rolling 7 day average of 143.5lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 142.6 - a little dip...
12/10 - 141.8 - I'm starting to figure out my high-low pattern...as long as the average stays the same it's all good. Today is family cookie baking day...I'm not so much worried about the cookies as I am about the Chinese take out we always have because no one wants to make dinner after all that baking...
12/11 - 143.0 - not bad considering how much beer and chinese food I had yesterday...
12/12 - 143.2 - normal little upswing...
12/13 - 142.6 - normal little dip....although my 7day rolling average is down to 143...so maybe it's a downward trend....will keep an eye on it. I don't feel like I'm eating at a deficit but I've been working extra days and I get tonnes of steps and flights of stairs in there so I may be burning more than I think.
12/14 - 143 - had Christmas lunch after working in the showroom with my client's staff today...we'll see what tomorrow brings to the scale...

Last time I said "I am ready to just walk away from the last two rounds!" I guess I kind of did. I last posted on Dec 1 in JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ROUND 24. I barely kept up with my two "schools" on MFP and have not really posted anywhere else. I guess I have been in a bit of a funk.
Pros: Kept up weighing in every day; being mindful; mostly keeping up exercise minutes
Cons: Not keeping up with anything else; What I am mindful of is the chocolate going down

Since the solar eclipse**, life has just been topsy turvy. I am ready for it to slow down. I'm keeping this as my happy thought for this round:

The road to success is always under construction.

12/10: 159.4 Ordered the oatmeal with bananas and walnuts. Was craving my SIL's beef stroganoff recipe last night, so made it with low sodium broth and the no yolks pasta... delicious! Three holiday get togethers today. Must stay disciplined.
12/11: 159.3 Gym has been closed for renovations since the 7th. Back open on Wednesday. I miss my running!
12/12: 158.9 Hubs texted me last night... gym WAS open!

I am finished with the C25K and moving on to 10K. Did 4 miles last night. Helped me with my work stress. Company party was this afternoon. A little too much wine, but limited myself to one plate of food.
12/13: 158.8
12/14: 159 couldn't complete my run last night... just did not have the energy. Today I have been hungry. Ate out at lunch, and nibbled on sugary holiday treats from vendors at work. I am trying to get up the energy to work out now, but am cozy by the Christmas tree...

At least I'm still logging and checking in on groups. On the bright side, I've realized this is my 10th round in this challenge! At the end of these 10 days I will have posted here 100 days in a row.

12/11: 162
Deserved, yesterday was bad. TOM is a full week late, definitely NOT pg, guess it's aging. Didn't do great on nutrition today but no added sugar and overall low on calories.

12/12: 160.5
My progress for the last month looks like an EKG, bouncing between 160, 161, 162. Did OK today on calories & exercise. Had curry at a Thai restaurant, not sure if it was high in sodium so I don't know what to expect tomorrow.

12/13: 163.5
Yes, sodium. Tonight I went to dinner at someone's house, didn't log it all.

12/14: 163.5

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!

12/12: 214.6

12/13: 213.7
Haven't been exercising this week because of back pain radiating down into my hips and legs! Been taking muscle relaxers and pain meds; also wearing back brace. Need to make doctor appt. but I already have one with the urologist next week, so I'll have to wait until after Christmas. Been drinking more water and watching what I eat! I'll be out of town for the next 3 days, but I still intend on making my goal this round! Onward and downward!

Historical Start weight: 252 lb.
End weight Rnd 24: 225.6

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 224.8 - NSV - finishing the Fitbit Valley Loops Trail solo challenge
12/10 - 224.1 - NSV - I didn't eat the cookies and chips I was craving all day.
12/11 - 223 - NSV - not eating all the food! Guys I'm in this phase where I want to eat everything!!! I am not, despite being surrounded by Chistmas baking, bit the struggle is really real! This will end soon, these come round ever so often, but I am almost having dreams of pizza, it's hilariously sad. Staying strong to give in reasonably on Thursday date night which cannot come soon enough.
12/12 - 222.3 - NSV - I've decided to commit to walking to and from my subway stop this winter. I usually do walk but would take the bus once the snow came. It's 4,000 steps both ways so this year I'm going to tough it out and get my steps in. Last night we got our first real snowfall of the winter and today I did walk, despite the -10 Celcius temperatures and unplowed sidewalks. It's going to be a long winter but I can do it! Brrrrrrr
12/13 - 221.6 - today is a scale victory day: 30 lbs. down!
12/14 - 221 - late entry cause movie date night where I ate all the sushi then saw Star Wars

the sale will likely suck tomorrow but it was completely worth it!

Mini goals - eat breakfast everyday, drink at least 3l of water/day, do not eat below calorie allowance.

CW - 100
GW - anything under 99kg

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 100

- would it really be too much to ask for a little less this morning? I truly didn't want to see this number. I went over my steps yesterday but didn't have time to eat enough. I even ate right before bed to get some extra calories in... but once Fitbit had calculated my steps, I was still very much lacking calorie-wise. OK went back in edit mode - I lost 400 grams (almost a pound), so I'll shut it!

12/10 - 100.8 - ok 800g overnight (1.6lbs) - day entailed too many carbs, drank my water, hit my calories though! With Italian dinner, birthday cake, etc. The problem being today is just the same with another birthday to celebrate. Oh well that’s life I guess... I have a week to compensate. I’ll end with a very positive note though, as I’m am officially overweight

12/11 - 102.6

- I hyperventilated seeing this number (5.7lbs in 2 days), but as there is NO way I ate that much, I'll say it's the sodium, water retention etc. I have a week to redress the situation!

12/12 - 101.8 - I always wonder how long it takes to reset the water retention balance... obviously it's not overnight, but what 2? 3 days? It's definitely something to take into account when you don't weigh in daily!

12/13 - 101.2 - i didn't succumb to the gingerbread cookies, but woke up (very early) so hungry! that rarely happens to me

12/14 - 100.4

- All I can say is that I do not understand my body! Yesterday I woke up hungry at 4 a.m. and my day was just one complete food fest. I ate my planned calories, I ate my added Fitbit calories, I ate so many gingerbread cookies I feel I made up for the day before's efforts... I ate chickpea chips (100g) full-on fat and carbs and chocolate. I drank about 6l of water throughout the day and I lost over a pound?
There are some days I'm so good and I feel I don't deserve the (STS or gain) numbers on the scale - but today I was afraid of stepping on the scale and it did not reflect yesterday, I also feel I don't deserve these (positive) numbers

12/15 - 99.8

- and this right before the weekend! Note to self - keep out of the cookie jar!

12/09- 145 I felt the difference this morning when I woke up. My stomach shrank a bit...Yay!!!
12/10-144
12/11-144 looking so forward to losing my pouch
12/12-145 must be that I gained muscle, because I have stuck to diet and exercise...including lifting weights
12/13-145 hanging in there....still doing my 30 day Shred, sticking to my low carb diet and decreasing alcohol.
12/14-145 hopefully I will see a 144 or 143 soon. Patience is a virtue.
12/15-146 oh dear, I did everything right and didn't even have any wine. I did the 30 day Shred later in the afternoon...The only things I did different is drink more diet soda, no alcohol, and woke up at 2 this morning. I am discouraged because I actually felt slimmer this morning...oh well, I will keep on keeping on and have my focus and faith. I will stay determined and end the day knowing I did my best.

12/11 204.4 YAY going back down I was worried bc I had a cheeseburger yesterday but I worked out to make up for it.

12/12 203.4

'eat that, gonna get fat' and 'eat less, move more'
