Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 35

I'm in! Taking a wild guess my figures for the 19th will not be pretty due to st Patrick's day... But I'm sure if I think about what I'm eating I'll survive...

R35 SW 98.6 GW 96.6kg

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 - 98.6kg - very full weekend, too much salty meats and snowed in so couldn't get out for a run… should be a nice whoosh over next few days as I was down to 96.6 on sat, so 98.6 this morning can't be true weight gain… can it?! husband is home for next 10 days though so he's on strict orders to make sure I stick to my plan! I have reset my calories to 1kg loss per week and I will NOT eat back calories from running…. I have a bar of yummy chocolate waiting for me for Easter!

3/20 - 97.3kg Now there's a whoosh…. :-)

3/21 - 97.2kg

3/22 - 97.7kg finding it hard to log food as I'm deep into thesis work! I have an assignment due soon so my time is being devoted to getting that done. My calories haven't been too bad but I'm not going to get to run until Saturday… :-(

Round 34: 171
GW:145

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 - 170.2 Going to try to challenge myself to do 30 Squats & 15 push-ups a day and a vitamin this round, in addition to watching calories. Will do cardio as able. Hopefully that tiny bit of muscle increase will help with the burn. Took vitamin and did squats/push-ups. Ate a little over calories and went to sleep early.
3/20 - 169.6 did daily did squats/push-ups. These weights are consistent with the range I was at in round 34... with my lowest weight recorded at 169. If I start seeing drop to 167 & 168 this round, it will be good.
3/21-170.2 I'm okay with this. Husband made dinner last night - burritos and homemade pico and guac and chips. So calories were all guestimates and I went over even so. Did half an hour on the treadmill. I am in control of my food today so should drop tomorrow. Did push-ups and squats.
3/22 - 170 Yesterday I ate under calories, drank extra water, went to bed early. I was sure I was going to drop more than a pound. But alas, just in a holding pattern right now. Did push-ups this morning. I can knock out the squats this afternoon at work. Hope to get on treadmill tonight. Over the last few weeks, my fat has fallen a little so at least that is good. Keep on keeping on I guess. If it is not rising dramatically, that is good.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 152.2lbs, feeling bloated from over-indulging this weekend. Social drinks are my weakness.

3/20 150.2, feeling happier and more positive today. Trying intermittent fasting in 8 hour window.

3/21 151.2lbs feeling really disappointed in myself today. My impromptu date night dinner was incredible. But, honestly, sometimes I wish people in my life would support me more than they encourage and guilt me into drinking and going for dinners. Will power 0, Boyfriend 1.

3/22 148.2lbs Training for a 10km run in May. Last night was my biggest training run yet, 6km (3.75 miles). TBH, I nearly died, but I did not stop or walk at all. I ate healthy all day, didn't binge at night while I studied.

Round 8 for me (6 full rounds plus 3 days), and I'm getting smarter every day. I'm also kinder to myself, more reasonable, more forgiving, and just generally better. I think I'm going to track my calories forever, and I'm okay with that. I'm also going to continue to post here forever, too. Maybe I'll move to a maintenance thread, I guess, but I hope you get the picture. This group has been life-changing for me.

Day/Weight/Comment

3/19 = 205.2 (-1.4). BOUNCE BACK™. I'm going to differentiate this loss with everyone's favorite rainbow unicorn, the WHOOSH™. I had a big gain on the last day of round 34 (2.2 lbs), and this is my body beginning to recover from that. I ate well yesterday, was under calories, drank plenty of water, and under on sodium. I have basketball tonight, which means a trip to the gym as well. Good start to this challenge!

3/20 = 204.6 (-0.6). Another BOUNCE BACK™. Good day at basketball yesterday, ate well, drank enough water, good on sodium. The sins of Sunday have been erased; it only took two days this time. I can pretty much predict my weight trend every night at this point based on my behavior during the day (thanks mostly to for tracking). I know a bunch of you have probably reached that point, but it's still pretty cool. Missed the gym last night, so I'll be lifting weights and doing HIIT tonight.

3/21 = 204.8 (+0.2). I felt a little out of control yesterday. Snacks were flying my way (some of them guided by my hand), and my wife bought me dinner (really hard to track), but I think I did okay. I was probably over a lot in salt, though (teriyaki is the devil). My wife was home early, so the gym didn't happen, either. The next stage in my development is motivating myself to get to the gym on non-basketball days (this upcoming Monday, for example). It's easy on basketball days, but mostly "miss" when basketball doesn't happen. I'm thinking of trying SL 5×5, but I need to make sure my knees can handle all the exercises before I get too excited.

3/22 = 203.8 (-1.0). And that's a WHOOSH™. Inching ever closer to onederland, I'm at an all-time low (since restarting MFP). Met all my eating goals yesterday, and snacked on fruit instead of crap last night. It's raining all day today, but it's basketball tonight. I will not miss it, nor will I miss lifting weights with my wife. Motorcycle life!

Back from Vacation and I think I am up 11 lbs. It should be a lot of water weight and if I get back on track I should be close to where I was in a 2 weeks or so. SO is still home so the first few days will go slow. Back at work with my packed lunch going in the correct direction.

3/20 - 158.4 ... 14,940 steps and 1262 calories. Cutting calories for a few days. Happy to see a 5 again. SO might be working in town for the next month BUT will be harder to hold my calories and get my steps in.

3/22 - 155.7 ... 16,854 steps and 1382 calories. Nice after dinner walk.
