Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 34
Replies
-
I have 2 more days to go but I have exceeded my goal for 49 day work challenge. about 40lbs down
what works for me. I would be interested in learning what is working for you.
1. limiting food choices. I have about 10 healthy foods on my list. seems to eliminate cravings.
2. reading labels on everything.
3. have one hot large very fulfilling meal a day. and a sensible lunch.
4. no food past 8pm
5. do not drink alcohol every day. weekends okay
6. learn to eat for survival not enjoyment. my go to was raw cucumbers and pickles. I didn't have to like it but I could eat as many as needed to fill my stomach.
7. tell the people closest to you what your doing. this motivated me a lot. I do not like to publicly fail.
8. get back up after a bad day! never give up.
I look forward to hearing something from your diet.
thank you for sharing what works for you. I truly enjoy hearing all these success stories and how they have been achieved. due to injuries it is nearly impossible for me to exercise without pain so this is my first time ever trying to loose a few pounds by dieting alone. I have learned so much in the past 2 months and part of that was from all of you
thank you again. I will still be logging everything for awhile but my goal now is to stay below 200 pounds and learn a maintenance diet. might stay in the 10 day challenge for a little bit or find a maintenance community.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/9- 139.26 Hovering at this weight the last few days.
3/10- 139.48 Well that will teach me to complain. lol Really it is just normal fluctuation. Doing well sticking to calories.
3/11- 140.14 Had a few drinks last night and a late night snack.
3/12- 139.26 I'm already finding myself hungry today. Trying to stick to the plan and distract myself rather than eat. I hate days like this.
3/13- 139.26 Great day. Lots of good choices even though I was busy.
3/14- Out for a university visit with my son. Lots of walking, but also eating out.
3/15- 139.26 This weight really seems to like me. I've tried even going lower on calories, but the weight is not budging at all.
3/16- 139.48 Can winter be over already? I would love a full week of being able to go outdoors.
3/17- 139.48 Nothing new. Sticking to calories, drinking lots of water, and moving around.

Peaches to Beaches was yesterday, and my friend Sandra came up from my hometown. We spent all day going from one yard sale to another. We did a lot of walking, but we did a lot of eating, too, both sweets, greasy, and salty with little water! Totally enjoyed myself; it was worth every watery pound! , but back on track, today!

Had an doctor's appt. in ATL this morning, so slow on water intake. Got to pick up the pace!

Would be nice if it came off as quickly as it goes on! Oh, well, we can't have everything!

Got some not so good health news, but kept to healthy foods & at maintenance. Kept repeating to myself “Food won’t fix it,” doodled my concerns, relaxed, and then ran errands to keep busy. Feeling more settled & myself this morning. Much more hopeful that the lab values can be managed - I know I’m doing everything that is actually under my control & I’m slowly making peace with the fact that that is all I can do.
I have been where you stand at this moment for over two months now, and seeing that I am an emotional eater, it has been a struggle to not eat up EVERYTHING and sabotage my progress. I admit that I still eat a lot more than I should because of this and it is why I have been bouncing around and stalling with my weight the last couple of months as well. So, as you said," the food won't fix it." It's a temporary console that makes it worse in the long run. It is warming up and I can now get in some yard therapy to clear my mind. I hope you find what soothes you and well wishes to your health.

Feeling good, after six rounds stuck right around 156, I am finally seeing some progress. Funny, this week I haven't been able to exercise due to being wiped out from a cold, but it seems to have prompted my body to release some weight, maybe do a little reset.
03/10: 153.5
03/11: 153.0
03/12: 151.5
Totally, completely, and in all other ways undeserved! I straight up binged on stale, packaged sweet rolls yesterday (ugh), hardly had any water, and I haven't exercised in a week because I've been sick. I also had a soda for the first time in many months. It's like bizarro weight loss rules. I'm going to start exercising again today. Only .5 lb to the 50 lb mark!
03/13: 152.0
Hiked yesterday and went to TRX tonight. Good on calories.
03/14: 152.0
03/15: 153.0
Having a pretty good week. Might be up a bit because of sodium yesterday. I had half of a relatively healthy frozen pizza, still a lot of salt.
03/16: 153.0
Ate light yesterday and today.

But I am going to complete this round. I will!! I'm tired of bouncing back and forth with my weight. I want to see a steady decrease. I want to be better. My son is 15 months old and I want to be able to set a better example for him when it comes to health. I can do it. I will do it!
SW: 228lbs
GW: 224lbs
Ultimate GW: 175lbs
3/9 - 225lbs - Yay! I like that as a start. It might be back up tomorrow, though. My dad came to visit us and we went out to dinner to a place that had a very limited menu. I got a chicken sandwich, but didn't realize it was fried until it came out... I cut it in half, though, and substitutes fries for veggies!
3/10 - 226lbs. Yep. Not at all surprised thanks to last night's dinner. But I've done well today, so hopefully that'll reflect in tomorrow's number.
3/11 - 224.4lbs. Alright! Back down! I'm happy to see that. I keep looking through these before and after transformation photos and all I can think is I really want to be able to share my own some day... Just gotta keep working at it!
3/12 - 225lbs. I wasn't totally on track yesterday, so that's not a surprise. I just need to do better. More consistent.
3/13 - 223.8lbs. Woo, back down! I wasn't totally on my game diet wise today, but I did take a long walk so I got a fair amount of steps.
3/14 - 226lbs. I didn't want to report this. I really thought about leaving it alone. But I am on this journey to be open and honest with my health, so here we are. I overate yesterday. For sure. This isn't a surprising number. But today I resisted the temptation to go out and buy snacks so that I could overeat more. Instead, I stayed home and cooked chicken breasts and asparagus.
3/15 - 224.4lbs. I felt like I did a pretty good job yesterday with diet, which reflected well on the scale. But I did overeat a little today. I really need to get better with that...
3/16 - 225.2lbs. Well. Yep. The overeating gets me. I just have a really hard time fighting it. It's just tough when I'm still job searching and spend the majority of my time home alone. I overeat when I'm bored. But today I spent 5 hours outside building a deck! My husband and I are building a ground level deck ourselves and while he was at work today, I spent my time working on it, so I feel like I burned a good amount of calories!!
3/17 - 226lbs. Man, this week has been fluctuating so much. I kept pretty active today, though. Worked more on our deck and went for a good walk in the park since it was such a nice day.

SW:222.5
Day/Weight/Comment
3/12: 222.5lbs. Good first day on this challenge. Over 10000 steps and a 45 minute weight lifting session. Around 1800 calories for the day.
3/13: 222lbs. Below 2000 calories. 9000 steps and 30 minutes of weight lifting.
3/14: 222.5lbs. Normal weight fluctuations. I ate near maintenance level calories today, after factoring in exercise. I consider that a success since I ate at a Mexican restaurant where calories add up quickly!
3/15: 222.5lbs. Rest day/ no weight training. Walked 9000 steps and ate about 2100 calories.
3/16: 222.5lbs. 10000 steps and 40 minute workout. Ate about 2300 calories
3/17: 222 lbs. 12000 steps and 30 minutes workout. Consumed about 2200 calories for the day. I really need to decrease my calories to see better results, but I can't seem to get a proper mindset for a strict diet again. I'm working hard but not losing much weight. I'm getting stronger though, so that's a positive.

Back for my 4th round and 3 kgs down. Looking forward to getting in my 64’s by the end of this round.
Day/Weight/Comment
3/9 – 66kgs. Up today from 65.7kgs. Not sure why when I ate within my macro/calories yesterday, lifted and did C25K. Im thinking it might be from the frozen meal I had last night for dinner which contained a lot of sodium? Oh well I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing, and hopefully the weight will fall off still.
3/10 – did not weigh in, but I know I would be a lot heavier due to eating out Friday night! The food was amazing though
3/11 – 66.6kgs. Imagined what I would have been yesterday if I’m still bloated today…
3/12 – 66kgs. Coming back down, but still gotta aim to lose 1.3kgs in 6 days.
3/13 – 65.2kgs . Yes! The bloat is gone!. 500 grams to go.
3/14 – 65.2kgs. I’ve increased my macros/calories from today to accommodate how much I’m exercising. Hopefully that doesn’t slow down my weight loss though!
3/15 – 64.6kgs. Yes! Exceeded round goal by 100grams. So excited. I’m finally in my healthy weight range. It has been so long. New goal for end of this round: 64.4kgs.
3/16 – 64.9kgs. I was bad last night. Had a few extra chips and potato than I should have…That would explain why my weight went up a bit..Either way still below 65!
3/17 - 65.2kg. I snacked late last night on cheese, and crackers so I’m hoping this is just bloat . But I know now if I’ve been 64.6kgs that I can get back there!
3/18 - 65kgs. Could have ended the round better considering I was 64.6kg Few days ago but this is still good!!7 -

First full round, joined R33 late!
R33 SW 99.2 EW 97.2 (-2kg)
(all waterweight But I'll take every victory I can!
R34 SW 97.1 GW 96.5kg
3/9 - 97.1kg -2 glasses of wine, 2 biscuits and some sweets... Yesterday was a bad day-toddler on complete meltdown toddler mode from 8am to 7pm! Hasn't shown on the scale but I'm sure it'll bite me tomorrow! But I have spinning tomorrow so fingers crossed I get away with it!
3/10- 96.8kg - bit of a tummy bug during the night so doubt this will stick!
3/11- 97.6kg - knew it wouldn't stick, but I did also end up eating 2 semlor and having a few glasses of wine so that will probably explain it! Buuuuut I have done 45 mins spinning plus a bit more cardio and a few weights today so should start heading down again tomorrow! (Fingers crossed!)
3/12- 97.4 - Spinning paying off! Had a big Saturday but gym yesterday and stick to plan for the week and the numbers should keep going down!
3/13- 97.5 - ugh... not good, half way and i've put on half the amount of weight i was aiming to lose!
I have no idea... Under my calories... I even made an allowance for the treats I ended up eating while doing the budget! Got out for my run this morning though... Up at 6am and completed w4 d2 of couch to 5k... Head up and keep marching! Going to need to work hard for next 5 days to get to 96.5kg target!
3/14- 97.6 Seriously... Wtf... I don't understand this... I've been eating less, moving more and yet I'm not losing anything.... Really disappointed! Going to adjust my target to 97.0kg.
3/15- 97.6kg okay… Getting irritated now! There's gotta be a woosh coming right?! I'm eating at a deficit, sodium is low and I'm working hard on my fitness… hard not to get disheartened! Just keep the head up and keep looking towards the goal right?
3/16- 97.2kg It's moving…. Finally it's moving!
3/17- 96.6kg woohoosh! :-)
3/18- 97.1kg huge day yesterday…. Everything was under calories but huge amounts of sodium (sausages, bacon, ham) but it's a year till next st Patrick's day!

3/9 278.1 Good start got cardio day at gym so should be good burn day

3/11 276.9 Not bad going to gym for light exercise day just going to be a boring sunday
3/12 275.9 Nice drop today always good when fluctuations are down not up will see if it maintains got my tough gym day
3/13 274.4 Another drop might be the scale I found place for it to live so not moving it around as much did strength day at gym and core workout and cardio so feeling good
3/14 273.6 Seem to be loosing fast this week I like it but a little concerning but will take it been eating a few exercise calories back also. Did good cardio workout today so still heading right direction.
3/15 273.3 Ate almost all calories back from exercise and I did a lot 3 mile hike and my regular cardio day. It's a rest day from the gym but going to be in 50s here versus 35 yesterday so going to do another hike in the afternoon.
3/16 274.1 Still happy last 2 days I figured was weird weigh ins so still on track for 10 days hitting the gym for cardio day and going to try and stay warm today
3/17 274.8 Still need to watch the food went a little high yesterday but did exercise a lot to "make" up for it
3/18 274.8 Meet and beat the GW (-3.4 lb from SW) Here I come round 359 -

3/09 - 140.30lb! Wow that must have been some meal on Wednesday evening! I know it was a larger than meal than I normally have and pasta, followed by a cheese board which I don't very often have but blimey - its hanging around!!!
Another wait for a whoosh! Should all be ok today and Saturday but Sunday is Mothers Day here in the UK so hoping to not get chocolates! Nothing else in the diary for this round other than Mothers Day so my round target of under 136lb should be achievable.
3/10 - DNW
3/11 - DNW
3/12 - 143.20lb - not at all surprised! Ate out last Wednesday and again Friday, plus Mothers Day weekend so involved chocolates, a giant cookie, cakes and a "popcorn and sweets" movie night plus a lovely dinner yesterday with all the trimmings including wine! No tracking at all.... However doing these challenges I know that these sort of weight gains aren't real gains, and that once I am back tracking properly (which I am today!) the excess will soon come off again. Before I started losing weight a weekend like this would have meant I carried on eating horribly for days if not weeks - but knowing I can have a totally off piste few days and then get back on it and get straight back in control is a good feeling
3/13 - 141.50lb - 1.7lb off and on the way back down. Good food day yesterday and 12,000 steps, food all prepped for today and gym PT session tonight so tomorrows weigh in should be all good.....
3/14 - 140.4lb - another 1.1lb off my extended weekend excesses! Goes on so quick and easy but so much harder to get back down again. 4 days to go to the end of the round and not sure I'll be quite back to where I started!! But still planning, still tracking, gym last night, gym tomorrow so will get back there eventually (even if not by Sunday morning) - 4 days to go.....! Sometimes makes you wonder if the indulgence is worth it.....
3/15 - 139.40lb - 1lb more gone. Staying focused, good food day prepped today and gym tonight so hoping to see another drop tomorrow. 3 days till round end when I wanted to be under 136lb - hhmmmm with 3.50lb to meet that target, I may need to save that target for the next round!
3/16 - 138.80 - bit more off....
3/17 - DNW
3/18 - DNW
Sounds daft but I so often forget to weigh in weekends as hubby often brings me a cup of tea in bed whereas in the week I'm first up and get straight into the shower before eating or drinking anything! Anyway - on to the next round .....12 -

03/09 = 159.4 First day of Spring Break! Hope to get in lots of exercise over the next 10 days!
03/10 = 160.2 Vacation food and drink. Splurged on a shrimp dip that was amazing.
03/11 = 161.2 Well, I expected yesterday morning’s “up”, but not this one. I worked hard yesterday, riding my bike 10 miles and walking 4 miles and getting 21K steps for the day. Ate well within limits. I guess this is still carry over from Friday’s splurge. Gotta get this back down! But I’m up early to ride before the rain comes.
03/12 = 162.4 Ok, this $%*#@ has got to STOP!!! I rode my bike 12.72 miles yesterday morning before the Island Way Grill Brunch Buffet (which was wonderful) then hiked 5 miles along the Hillsborough River. I ended up with 22K steps for the day. There is NO way I’ve eaten 10K calories over maintenance in the last three days, but here we are. Gonna push water and cook my own meals today and see what happens. Come on, body, get your act together!
03/13 = 160.4 That’s better! Now, gotta work back down into the 150s again.
03/14 = 159.4 Finally back where I started! YAY!
03/15 = 160.2 Rode 17 miles on my bike yesterday plus did some walking.
03/16 = 159.6 Guess this is just going to be a maintenance round. But I guess since it’s also vacation, I should be ok with that. Still not happy about it though. Rode 8 miles on my bike and also walked a LOT.
03/17 = 159.2 Headed in the right direction again, just doing it very slowly. I guess any loss is a good loss! Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! This group is a blessing to me and I appreciate each and every one of you!
03/18 = 160.0 I seem to always go up when I ride a really long ride on my bike. Did 20.22 miles yesterday, so I was expecting this, but really was hoping it wouldn’t happen. This has been a plateau round for me, hovering all around 160. We fly home from vacation today though, so it’s back to more normal routines tomorrow. Here’s to a better Round 35!10 -

3/14..142.6 .. It's a yoyo type of world. Went to gym. Eating clean-ish today. Drinking the water. Been staying away from alcohol but not seeing a big difference weight wise.
3/15..143.? .. Lord love a duck! Worked out at gym so maybe some water in muscles? Ate within limits. Ah well. Todays another day.

I will be monitoring daily my calories, muscle mass, bone mass, water %, BMI index, ketone levels, blood pressure, and finally my weight. my doctor has full knowledge of this diet plan and he is monitoring my PT/INR
1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
goal = never be over 20% body fat. 12-15% would be great.
round 33 - start=215lbs end 202lbs
round 34 - start = 202 end 192.8lbs
3/9 - 202lbs.
3/10 - vacation day. i will try and be good, was not good, had alcohol
3/11 - no scale and I ended up having alcohol
3/12 - 201lbs - long day. eat fine but didn't weigh myself till the end of the day, typically my heaviest time right after diner
3/13 - yesterdays weight was from 4 am after bringing wife home from hospital. she will be okay. not going to weigh myself till tomorrow morning, foods for the rest of the week should only be from my approved list. I am planning on some rapid loss over the next 6 days.
3/14 - WOW finally 198.8.bs, 54% water, 145lbs muscle, 7lbs bone, 22% body fat according to new scale, Ketone looks good, and it couldn't have been on a better day. today I am cutting as much salt from my never monitored salt intake. I am only trying to limit any fluctuations due to water weight.
3/15 - 196.4 I was half expecting this due to yesterday I changed my fish to unsalted, and gave up pickles for cucumbers. I did eat almost 2 pounds of meat yesterday. probably bounce back up in a day or two. scale showed water at 52.7%
3/16 - 197.2 - sounds crazy but glad to see a slight gain. in the big picture I still think I will count the day as a loss of body fat. I most definatly don't want to need the IV of water like my wife did the other night. had a gigantic dinner that still was only 600 calories. all in all a great day. will be buckling down Saturday and sunday.
3/17 - 195.? - avoided eating pizza at bday party but did have 3 mix drinks there and a couple at home. still under my personal calorie goal.
3/18 - 192.8 --- water at 51.7 probably the alcohol again. well it is the weekend. should have a clean day today
I decided to participate in 49 day work challenge to test my willpower. I have done great on food but still have yet to go a full week without whiskey. I guess making it 5 days without is better then the everyday binge drinking for 20+ years. challenge is done on 3/19 and if I win the money there is a all u can eat crab leg casino buffet waiting for me.

Round 32: SW 240.6; EW 241.6 (+1.0), Ave 241.92
Round 33: SW 241.6; EW 238.2 (-3.4), Ave 239.84
Round 34: SW 238.2; GW 236
Round 34
3/9 / 238.8 / A little bump up from yesterday, but I'm not complaining.
3/10 / 239 / Another bump up. Bah. Suffering from a gluten exposure which causes all sorts of trouble. My Achilles is better but still a little sore. Dumb!
3/11 / 237 / Nice! And I can walk pretty normally today. Whew! Moving my round goal weight to 236!
3/12 / 238.6 / I was so hungry yesterday. I ate back all calories and would have happily kept going. NOM. I'm actually glad this is just a 1.6 pound increase. I expected worse!
3/13 / 238.6 / TOM creeping up on me. Not feeling great today, but will still try to make good choices. I want to sleep, eat all the things, and sleep.
3/14 / 239 / Expected. Bleh. I would wrestle an alligator for something salty.
3/15 / 238.2 / And the downward trend can commence again! Yesterday, while walking to the train, I noticed that I kept feeling like I could just break into a run. What a great feeling, and that was on a day when I didn't really feel great. Oh, and I've got a trampoline arriving today. I can bounce right along with my weigh-ins!
3/16 / 238.6 / Normal fluctuations. I used my rebounder last night and people are right, that's hard work! But it's also pretty fun. It came with a DVD of exercises and... I am the least flexible person I know. Lordy. Have now gone a month and a half getting at least 20 minutes of activity/exercise in every day, which is a great accomplishment for a couch potato like me!
3/17 / 237.8 / I might miss my goal this round because of TOM, but I'm pretty pleased overall with my level of fitness (flexibility aside!) and my eating. Having a group like this (and the Ultimate Accountability Challenge) really helps, and I get to get to know all of you amazing, funny, and awesome people, which would make it worthwhile even if I had no good results.
3/18 / 237.2 / I had a headache all day yesterday and am starting today with one as well.
Otherwise, I'm pleased with this round! Onto the next! 7 -

3/9 144.4 (50 min elliptical; under calorie Net goal of 1200; increased water intake)
3/10 143.1 (50 min elliptical; ate back all calories, annoyed with myself that I was down to 140 and then did this)
3/11 142.3 (Body Pump class; ate back all calories)
3/12 141.5 (60 min elliptical; under calories; slowly but surely getting back down closer to 140)
3/13 140.3 (Body Pump class; ate back almost all calories; almost to goal for this round)
3/14 140.1 (60 min elliptical; ate back all calories; looks like I'm back to 2/26 weight finally)
3/15 138.4 (GOAL met for this round ! New goal=keep it under 140. Body Pump class; ate back all cal.)
3/16 138.2 (60 min elliptical; ate back all calories)
3/17 136.5 (Wow! Finally! Ultimate goal of 135-137 range is reached. Now, to stay there. I am going on an all inclusive vacation for 7 nights at the end of the month, so I know I will gain some back, but I can get it back off again. Maybe my strategy will be to continue losing for the next week so that when I gain it won't be that big of a deal? I think that less than this weight is too much for my large frame-I have very large bones/frame size and am 5'6. Let's see what happens. 60 minutes elliptical yesterday and ate back all calories. If I drop much more in the next couple of days, I will up daily calories)
3/18 135.4! (Body Pump and 30 min elliptical; kept birthday cake slice at 1/12 of cake portion size at friend's birthday- still over 350 cal- still about 5 calories under calorie goal eating back exercise calories)
Loss from End of Round 33 to End of Round 34 = 11.4 pounds BUT lots of water weight from bad eating,high salt for 3 days in Round 33 so....real weight loss (more likely fat loss)...
Loss form end of Round 32 to End of Round 34 = 4.6 pounds...which is a lot so probably need to up calories soon.
I know I will gain weight in Jamaica when we go at the end of the month since I am taking kids to an all inclusive and I see many Pina Coladas, maybe Red Stripes (never had one), and lots of food in my future. There is a gym there, but last year on our similar vacation the sneakers and gym clothes did not leave the suitcase. So maybe I will try to lose a pound or two between now and March 27th, and then work to lose to 137 when we return, and up calories at that point. Also, will see how much TOM effects my weight now that it is so low. I love this group. It has kept me focused on not regaining all the weight I lost in 2016-2017 when it started to creep back up in late fall/ early winter. Thank you!!8 -

9: 214... So, so hungry yesterday. Thank you ovulation! Ate at maintenance... Not that it helped me maintain though. Lol
Another hungry day today. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.
10: 212.7...I expect to keep releasing weight, sometimes the timing surprises me though. I made decent choices yesterday, but also ate back most of my exercise calories. Macros were ok, but not great. Sodium was a bit high, but I got plenty of water in me. Ended with a 254 calorie deficit. Chili cook-off for a school event tonight. I'm prelogging as best as I can, so I can work the calories and macros into my day. I'm wanting to have 1 drink, which might put me over, but I'd rather not feel like I'm depriving myself.
11: 214.2... I'm not surprised by this at all. Over calories yesterday because of the school event last night. 1 glass of wine turned to 3, and I had bread with my chili and cookies from the bake-off for dessert. I hadn't planned for that. I did win the chili cook-off though! Came home and ended up going for a walk in the neighborhood because the air felt really refreshing. It was a good night, and I feel positive and at ease around recovering from a night of relatively minor indulgences.
12: 214.1... I'm certain this would've been a bigger drop, but I ate kind of late last night and went over my calories. Plus, no exercise so I didn't have any leeway. Back to IF schedule today.
13: 211...Wowsa! I didn't expect that overnight! I essential had only one large meal yesterday though, aside from my bulletproof coffee. I didn't plan it that way, I just wasn't really hungry. I still ended up eating almost all of my 1400 calories between the coffee and 1 meal, so I guess my body is just recovering from the last few days.
14: 210.9... I was actually afraid to step on the scale today. After an out of town appointment, my kids and I decided on a whim to go see A Wrinkle in Time. Movies for me mean popcorn, which I usually plan my day around.... But we had Subway first, which lessened my popcorn intake. However, I ended up sharing soda and candy with my kids. I thought I'd be up AT LEAST a pound today, so I'm happy to see that isn't the case. Maybe because I stuck to my IF schedule? I don't know for sure though. I was definitely over my calories significantly.
15: 210... Yesterday was a great day, and it's now official... I'm down 20 pounds since Christmas!
16: 209.8... Managed to have Pizza Hut and still lose. Definitely feeling my energy shifting in a passive direction!
17: 210.2... Enjoyed an evening of red wine, cheese, veggies & hummus (and a landjager...lol) with a dear friend last night. I'm content with the minor fluctuation. I'm not feeling guilt or a need to get back on track as if I have messed up. This is kind of a new feeling for me. Nothing's wrong here. I'm on my path to the healthiest version of myself, and joy has exponentially more power to heal than just about anything else.
18: 211.3...Bahahahaha! I can't even blame that on St. Paddy's Day. I had a late night snack...or 3. It's all good though! TOM probably tomorrow, which might also be part of the sudden increase.9 -

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
3/9 140.5 up and down, up and down. It’s what I do. Would love to reach 139.x and continue DOWN!
3/10 142.0 Lunch At The Winery with friends and I had 1 glass of sweet wine and 1 piece of Bruschetta plus my Cobb salad. My left knee hurts again. This was a valuable “exercise” for me. Learning that that little change kicked me out of nutritional ketosis, I now know that I can’t do this at my HS reunion next month.
3/11 141.5 18 hour unplanned fast yesterday (except for BPC x 2) Maybe I’ll do it today too. I wish I had slept a few more hours!
3/12 141.0 Under on calories and macros. 21 hour fast yesterday - don’t eat if I’m not hungry.
3/13 141.5 Late dinner and I wasn’t hungry but ate anyway. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Dentist at 10am then lunch and a movie with DH.
3/14 140.5 I had a headache when I woke up and still have it. UGH. Leftovers for meals so easy prep day for me.
3/15 141.0 Awake at 4AM and a headache again. Under calories and macros yesterday, UGH UGH UGH!!!
3/16 140.0
3/17 140.0 lunch at Jimmy John’s yesterday. #9 Unwich YUM!
3/18 139.5 There is that elusive number again. My goal this round was to hit 139.x and I did it. Trust the process, Jaine, trust the process!
