2nd Goal 145 = normal BMI

R26 EW 161.0 LW 157.5 = included Christmas (no food/drink logged) & several gatherings

Round 26 (previous round)
12/19: 158.0 Battling a cold, workouts on hold. At least Christmas decorations are almost done. Net calories red (barely), sodium green, fiber 20g & net sugar zero - how did that happen? 18c water. Fitbit 10,525 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 39 floors.
12/20: 158.0 Net calories red, sodium green, sugar red mostly from fruit, fiber 20g, and 16c water / trying to flush my cold away. Workplace snowshoe hike at lunchtime / 0.42 miles. Fitbit 11,013 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 32 floors.
12/21: 158.0 Little surprised / workplace Xmas party at lunch yesterday, then went overboard with Christmas peanut M&Ms while decorating at home. Still no workouts due to busy-ness and my cold. Fitbit 8,612 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 31 floors. Total guess for calories (did quick log instead of guestimating every bite) & 16c water.
12/22: 157.5 Day off from work, finished cleaning & decorating. Gave in to leftover pizza hubby brought home, but limited myself to two slices. 14c water. Fitbit 7,696 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 hours & 15 floors.
12/23: 157.5 Vacation/holiday, slept in, round trip by car 2 1/2 hours & niece's Christmas concert = sedentary afternoon. Wrapped presents in evening. Fitbit 8,753 steps, 250+ steps 8/14 hours & 16 floors. 12c water.
12/24: 157.5 Little surprised I'm maintaining, have been getting into Christmas candy since 12/22. Stopped logging food last night after supper & net calories red. But keeping active with Christmas preparations. No "workouts" this week except shoveling snow and snowshoeing. Fitbit 7,703 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 25 floors. 10c water.
12/25: 158.0 Christmas / dinner w/ extended family / not logging food or beverages / Merry Christmas friends!
12/26: 159.5 Yesterday was a day filled with faith, family, fun, food & adult beverages. Totally worth it! Now, to freeze some of the goodies so we don't eat them all up this week.
12/27: 160.0 Almost forgot to update...why are some habits so easy to break & forget? W-I not a surprise, have been enjoying Christmas goodies for several days & no treadmill since 12/15 oh my! Back at work, will get back to treadmill this week, I promise.
12/28: 161.0 Happy hour with former colleagues / enjoyed adult beverage & dinner / net calories red even before I got into pistachios for evening snack...ack!!! 13c water. Fitbit 7,873 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 26 floors. Considering I'm 3# up during the week of Christmas, not so bad. Used to be lots worse in past years.

12/29: 159.5 Net calories red & 12c water. Fitbit 9,124 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 34 floors. Getting back into my groove.
12/30: 159.0 Walked 3 mi. treadmill / 51:07. Fitbit 13,675 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 25 floors. Registered for my third Badger State Brewing 10K (3/31).
12/31: 161.0 Got into leftover Christmas goodies. 12c water. Walked 3 mi. treadmill / 50:31. Fitbit 12,434 steps, 250+ steps 914 hours & 11 floors.
01/01: 162.5 Expected: New Year's Eve splurged with hubby on special treats all evening long and did not log food or beverages. I'm sure net calories were horrendously red. Totally worth it!

And now it's out of my system.

01/02: 163.0 Very sedentary day: car round trip 3 1/2 hours & niece's bday party, plus back hurting. Net calories red & 10c water.
01/03: 162.0 No treadmill since lower back still hurting. Net calories red 18, sodium & sugar both green, 14c water. Fitbit (last synced at 7:40 p.m. & left my phone in kitchen this morning) 6,936 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 27 floors.

"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

12/30 - 135.4 - Yesterday under maintenance, no workout, ankle still sore.
12/31 - 135.0 - Yesterday under maintenance, ran 3.5 to finish December run goals.
1/1 - 135.6 - Yesterday 50 min elliptical, balanced by an unholy number of homemade lemon squares, way over! Happy New Year all, the journey continues!

1/3 - 135.4 - one holiday pound away! Yesterday under calories, ran to gym and did 25 minutes on a stairclimber.
About my Mini-Goal 5 of unwrapping my "Under 135" box of workout clothes!! -- I CHEATED a couple of days ago and wore the CW-X tights on my long run. They are A-MAZ-ING

Getting there slowly but surely. I'm going to give in and go to the doctor for my back and hip; it's not getting any better, and I want to get back to exercising! Think I'll go sit in the hot tub at least!

12/31: 213.4

01/01: 213.2
HAVE A HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

01/02: Woke up late; had already started drinking coffee before I remembered I was supposed to weigh. Didn't sleep much last night. So many doctors appt. and I'm already tired. But nobody told me that the road would be easy; I don't believe He brought me this far to leave me!

01/03: 216.7
Got a new med from the urologist for bladder urgency, now I am holding fluid! Plus my granddaughter cooked some greens using country salt cured meat, so they were full of sodium. I ate them all. Need to push more water. Doctor's appt. for today cancelled due to inclement weather, so I'm going to get my hair done!

12/29 - 149
I've cut back on carbs the past couple of days. I don't plan to go too low - aiming for 40 net carbs/day - and about 90 grams protein, the rest good fats. I have to say that the fats are making me MUCH less hungry, so my calories are actually lower. New go-to breakfast -- half cup liguid egg whites microwaved with an ounce of aged Havarti cheese. YUM!

12/30 - 148.8
Moving the right direction - yay!

12/31- 148.6
This is a lovely surprise - not because I haven't been eating properly (I have), but last night my hubby made "fiesta chicken" with a seasoning packet (McCormick) and I almost couldn't eat it because of the salt. Holy sodium blast, Batman! I drank a ton of water all evening and knew I was retaining a lot of it, so I thought I'd be up this morning Yippee yay! (And no, he won't be buying any more seasoning packets without checking sodium!)
HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL!

1/1 - 148.6
I just realized I had a typo yesterday - I was down, not up. And there again today. Good start to a bright (if cold) new year.

1/2 - 148.4
I can't seem to keep my carbs as low as I'd hoped (40 g net), but they're lower than they were, and that seems to be working. Feeling good!

1/3 - 148.8
AAACCCKKKKK! No, really, it's ok, because I've been right on track so I know it isn't real. But still....

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29- 146.08 (weight a few hours after eating) Still struggling to maintain calorie goal with family here.
12/30-145.64 Did better today with my eating. Hoping the weather holds up just a bit so I can get a walk in tomorrow.
12/31- 144.98 Went on a really nice hike despite the strong wind. Think I was probably well over on calories though. No alcohol, but we did have dinner with friends and family for New Years Eve.
1/1 Forgot to weigh before breakfast and then we were out of the house most of the day. I walked 2+ hours today. Splurged on a Cafe Mocha, but it should have been within my calories.
1/2- 144.98 Saved all my calories up to have a big Turkish meal with my family. I probably still went over on calories, but it was worth it.
1/3- 144.98 Day out at the spa and then dinner with friends. I have a really hard time guessing calories/weight of food when I'm eating out.

Round 26: 161.5

12/29: 162.5 I feel very dehydrated this morning. Got a good run in yesterday, decent amount of water, too. But then I fell into a bad habit of snacking last night before bed. Not feeling optimistic today; I should go exercise now.
12/30: 162.4 Better than a gain... I did start up with my weights again yesterday; I am so sore today! Started to track, but lost momentum after going out to lunch with my daughter. Going to try again today. Lots of water, too.
12/31: 163.3

1/1: 161.9 Happy New Year! My daughter made a delicious vegan butternut squash soup last night. Coconut milk instead of cream. Leftovers today.
1/2: 162.2 Up and down... have a feeling it will be this way for awhile until I settle into my routine again. We took the tree down yesterday. DH and my kids still have another week off, but I go back to work today.

1/3: 162.1 Good run on the treadmill last night; still getting into the chocolate in the evenings, though... have been toying with the idea of doing a cleanse.

Historical Start weight: 252 lb.
End weight Rnd 24: 225.6
End weight Rnd 25: 221.6
End weight Rnd 26: ? (No scale during holidays)

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29- ? - still at home without my scale, still don't know weigh but pants still fit.
12/30 - ? - no scale, still at home
12/31 - ? - no scale, still at home
1/1 - ? - no scale, still at home
1/2 - 227.8 - moment of truth after 9 days at my parent's house with all the old habits that got me where I was, so naturally it's no shocker I'm up basically 9 pounds over the holidays (it's like a pound per day 0.0) but I didn't do much activity and didn't eat well so I'm not surprised. Some is likely water retention and honestly I'm not really bothered because I had a good time and I'm back in the city where I can go back to my usual routine. No regrets, I had an excellent holiday, now back to work.
1/3 - loss - What I like about this thread: posting everyday keeps me accountable and motivated and honestly I think is one reason I've been successful (holidays excluded). What effects me in a less than awesome way: people judging my weight loss. Solution: until I can get over myself, I'll just post a gain or loss in relation to the last day. Staying in the right mindset is important to this journey, actual weight will be posted when it makes sense for me.
