3/20 - 88.0kg - stayed under calories and recorded everything. Haven't been sleeping well, tho, so very little energy.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19: 137.9; weighed 135.7 on March 15 but allowed a few days of stress and binging to throw me off track. (23,583 steps)
3/20: 137.2; binged again, so I expect a weight jump tomorrow (25,167 steps)
3/21: 138.1; I expected this, but it is still discouraging. No binging today and thus, only 11 calories over goal. (25,777 steps)
3/22: 136.0; slightly under calorie limit today (25,334 steps)
3/23: 135.3; ate below budget again today. I had to really fight the urge to snack while at work. I honestly didn’t think I would be able to resist when the munchies hit me around 10 am and lasted until the end of the day. (27,687 steps)

Starting weight (12/15): 333
Current weight (3/18/18): 223


Day/Weight/Comment
3/19: 223lbs. I decided to cut my calories this round to see if my weight starts trending in the right direction. Today was a good day overall. I kept my calories below 1800. Walked 10000 steps and worked out for 30 minutes.

3/20: 222lbs. I’m glad to see the scale finally drop a pound. I ate about 2200 calories today, but I walked 11000 steps and had a 35 minutes weight lifting session.

3/21: 221.5lbs. 2200 calories, which is still more calories than I originally planned for this challenge. 12000 steps and a 40 minute workout.

3/22: 222lbs.

3/23: 222lbs. Walked 9000 steps and lifted weights for 45 minutes.

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… :-(

3/23 97.1kg I dunno how. Bad food choices, even though I was under calories, I think. Possibly due to the fact I drink a lot more water while studying?!

3/24 98.2 i just don't know… I walked, rowed and did spinning followed by a bit of landscape gardening…. How?!

3/20 159.0lbs I ate so much better yesterday than I have this past month so I don't know. I was tempted to snack last night, but I did not.

3/21 156.8lbs lots of running around yesterday with parent teacher conferences and a recital and car trouble. I actually met my step goal. I’m proud of myself for not eating out with all of what happened. I have faith yet again.

3/22 158.2lbs I am eating very clean and stayed active as well as exercised. I havent a clue whats going on with the scale, but Ill keep at it.

3/23 156.0lbs I ate well while I was out which is my goal these days. I exercised as well.

3/24 155.4lbs I ate well and it was a rest day. Goal today to is drink more water.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 184.6 no comment, just tears. tomorrow will be a better day.

3/20 182.2 a bit better, but still stupidly high. Decided to do IF (5/2) for two days a week and see if that helps get me back on track with my habits. Our Spring break is in 10 days and I can't afford to buy new pants, lol.

3/21 178.8 I did my low cal day yesterday so I was expecting a good drop. That's almost 6 lbs of water weight in 2 days. Pretty crazy. I really think some of this is hormonal fluctuations and not drinking enough water. But today I am writing my plan and sticking to it. 9 days til our trip!

3/22 177.8 so not bad, feeling a bit more like myself. That was probably the end of the water weight so maybe a real loss in the next few days. Low cal day again today, have my meals planned out and sticking to the plan. Lots of water today. We are having a cold snap, so I'm drinking it hot with lemon.

3/23 177.0 my low cal day yesterday went well, food tastes amazing when you are truly hungry, lol. today, just watching my portions and planning on a glass of wine tonight.


3/24 179.2 grrr apparently the scale is very bouncy when you do a 5/2 way of eating. I guess it makes sense because your stomach is more empty volume wise on fasting days? my 5 day average is the same as last round, so I guess the high weight isn't sticking around at least. I hope to see a drop for the next few days!

Back again! Hello everyone!! My motto this week is "write it before you bite it" as I haven't been super consistent logging my food lately.

SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - Smashed this in October 2017 and maintained around 143 until the winter blahs and my crazy freelance schedule got the better of me and I put a few back on.
New GW - 140 - really want to work on getting another 5-7 off from where I am now and committing to fitness so I can participate in some adventures with my boys over the summer...no more watching from the sidelines!!

3/18 - 147 - coming in from round 34

---

3/19 - 147.4 - weekend aftermath...blaming it on the beer. We were super active so I can only hope some of this is also muscle recovery as well.

3/20 - 146.4 - One year ago today....I started tracking my food and weight everyday with the intention of losing 20lbs before a big family vacation and then to keep going to lose a bit more before the summer. I've gone from barely squeezing into size 12 pants and covering my top with flowy XL shirts to not event hesitating to go to the size 8's and smalls and even bought a pair of size 6 jeans last week. I'm participating in sports and activities with my active kids instead of watching from the sidlines!! I'm very proud of myself...it's hasn't all been down...but I didn't let the upswings derail me. Weighing and checking in here everyday has made me very mindful of how my choices affect the scale and what those trends really mean in the long run. I still have some goals to achieve but if this chocolate/craft beer/wine loving mama can do it so can anyone!!


3/21 - 145.6- working it off...
3/22 - 144.6 - Wooot!! Under 145 again!!!
3/23 - 144.0 - Still coming off!! Hoping to get back down to 143 before we leave on vacation next week...if I can only keep the wine in control this weekend.
3/24 - 142.8 - Yep!!! That happened!!! I expect this will rebound a bit over the weekend. I think I will back off the deficit a bit and start eating more of my activity calories back.

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.
3/23 -169.8 Yesterday I ate at calories, did squats and push-ups and 15 minutes on treadmill - was super exhausted but managed this. Hope to have more energy for exercise tonight. This is the weight I started round 34 with I think so really been the same weight for a couple weeks - all while staying within 1200 to 1400 calories. Before that I had lost about 8 lbs in the previous month. Age is not good to metabolism, ya'll... but hoping that I can honestly get into the 160's and stay over the next few weeks.
3/24 - 169 did all my vitamin taking and push-ups/squats. Didn't get on the treadmill but speed cleaned for about ah hour and 15 minutes - pushing vacuum, mopping on hands and knees and such. I break a sweat so know that they are a workout with an ulterior purpose. Just woke up and still tired. Hoping to get a really intense workout in today. Already done with my squats and pushup goal for the day.

3/20 128.2 - going back in the right direction, trying to stay positive
3/21 128.2 - surprised with no loss after my diet, water, and increased activity level yesterday (my legs are actually sore) but I know I need to keep being good to my body and show patience...
3/22 127.8 - almost back to my start from last round!
3/23 126.8 - I think my body is thanking me
3/24 126.8 - Stalling at the lowest I’ve ever been in 5 years (I hit this exact weight once during round 33) I think it might be my body’s new set point? I am just under 10lbs away from entering the bracket of “ideal weight” for my height. I NEED to end this weekend with no gain!
