3/29 /202.8/
3/30 /202.8/ worked out (burpees/planks) walked 3.25 miles including hills/stairs, total calories below goal. Food choices today were not stellar but I am only human.
3/31 /202.8/ I weigh in first thing in the am after brb. After chips and beer for dinner last night I didn't expect changes.
4/1 / 201.7 no exercise yesterday just normal routine and stayed in my caloric budget. Lost a 1.1 lbs. Challenges like this make me think about what I am eating and my goals. Will workout today. Happy Easter!
4/2 / 201.7 rode my bicycle 11+ miles yesterday and stayed within my caloric budget. Tired after that. Didn’t realize how out of shape I really am.
4/3 / 201.7 this morning. Did strength training yesterday and felt good. Kept with in my caloric budget.
4/4 / 201.7 loads of exercise yesterday and I burned a lot of calories but I ate a bunch too. In budget!

3/30 - 195lbs - surprising after eating 800 calories worth of turkey burgers last night.
3/31 - 196 - up 1 pound -oh well I was just following doctors orders to eat less greens. maybe 20oz ground beef patty was a little overkill. but so yummy. I do love meat.
4/1 - 195lbs - my children nicknamed me the cause of obesity and with everything on the menu today I believe they speak the truth.
4/2 199lbs - ba ha ha ha- I guess 4853 calories is a lot. at least my sugar was under 20.
4/3 198lbs - bad lunch. okay dinner and now the weekend bottle is gone. maybe I can make a little progress before another weekend.
4/4 198lbs - really beating myself up over a few pounds. after eating a pound of leftover Easter lamb I vowed not to eat again last night. only had one beer. logged in at calorie goal. didn't sleep well. the fresh snow is beautiful and my coffee is delicious

R36 Starting/Ending: 192/??? lbs
Date - Weight - Update
3/29 - 192 lbs - Still recovering from my week away from my scale, determined that I need discipline to keep all of this going; Exercised in the morning - about 600 calories
3/30 - 191.6 lbs - I had Chinese food last night, but still managed to lose weight. Go me! (I also planned for Chinese food, so that probably has something to do with it); Exercised in the morning - about 600 calories; probably not eating too healthy tonight unless I can convince my date to go somewhere not deep fried...
3/31 - 191.2 - Date night kept it surprisingly healthy, despite the amount of carbs I consumed. Helped a friend move into her new apartment today, so I definitely got some lifting done. Let's hope Easter keeps me on track!
4/1 190.4 - I don't expect this trend to last, especially after the sheer amount of food consumed for Easter dinner... whoops. Back to the gym on Monday.
4/2 - 190.4 - YES! Somehow all of yesterday equated to a maintenance day. I'll take it; exercising in the afternoon - about 600 calories
4/3 - 188.8 - Not sure how this WHOOSH is happening, but maybe if I don't question it, it'll stick around, maybe it's my reward for not buying and then consuming an entire bag of discount Easter candy...; Exercise in the morning - about 600 cals, and exercise in the afternoon - about 500 cals.
4/4 - 190.0 - Knew my slight WHOOSH was too good to be true. No worries. Thought my goal this round was a tad too ambitious anyway. Not that I'll stop trying. Two pounds in three days? Crazier things have happened. Maybe I'm lucky and this excess weight is the water held in my recovering muscles... Hoping for a final day WHOOSH; Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals

3/31 - 209.8 (woohoo). But I think weighing in a little later on weekends affects the weigh in. Saturday’s has always been my lowest day on scale. We see if I can keep it this time!
4/1 - 210.4. No surprise up a little. Ate out and went over a little on calories. Might see another jump tomorrow from it but that is okay. Sodium.
4/2 - 212.8 Expected. Ate too much yesterday. Feeling bloated and yucky today.

3/29 196.6 I have noticed that in these weekly challenges that I will teeter back and forth and the have a 2 or 3 pound loss, right at the end. I love that this keeps me on track and motivated, but it is also an argument for the once a week weigh in. For now, I am sticking with you guys, cause it is working!
3/30 196.6 glad it stuck for a day, but it will be tough to keep it that way.... Easter is already killing me!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/29- 198.4 not where I wanted to start for this round but have had a rough two days so not surprising.
3/30 -197.0 - the scale is psycho - when I log and drink water and do all the rigt things I go up. When I don’t log and drink wine I go down… oh well on to the weekend.
3/31- skipped
4/1- 196.8
4/2 - 195.4 this is great we will see if it holds for the week
4/3 - 195.6 maybe I’ll really stay here which would be lovely. Mom’s surprise party is in 17 Days if I can drop 5 more it’d be great!
4/4 - 194.8 interesting - been terrible at logging and have been drinking wine at night - I’ll take it. I’ll get back on track next challenge.

So interesting (to me, at least!). I'm eating more than when I was hovering around 150. No change in activity level (yet). Apparently I wasn't eating enough. Fine by me!
3/30 - 149.2
Going out for lunch with a friend, but I have my order planned. I do intend to have a chocolate something this weekend, so I'm behaving in anticipation.
3/31 - 149.8
I stuck to the plan at lunch, but had a burger for dinner and I know I'm retaining water. All good!
4/1 - 149.4
I'm surprised, as I had a bit of a stress-induced, mindful pigout yesterday. We made an offer on a house (our fifth offer - we've been out bid on four) and I had a pecan rol. It helped, though I'm on pins & needles waiting to hear. Gaaaa! Anyway, I expect an increase tomorrow. We shall see.
4/2 - 150.4
Yep, there's that pigout. All good. Back on track.
4/3 - 149.4
That's better.
4/4 - 149.8
We went out for lunch yesterday and, although I don't think my calories were high, I know my sodium was (again). I'll be so glad when this house hunting ends and my schedule returns to normal.

4/4 - 182.2 I'm glad to see a loss. I had extra calories leftover last night so splurged on ice cream, but then it was so good and I was hungry so I ate double the amount I was planning to eat and ended up going over my calories. Why did I do that? It was really good ice cream....

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
So far this has been ALL KETO - NO EXERCISE! I’m within a few pounds of my goal!
3/29 139.0 First time in weeks I’ve added HWC to my coffee and it was a Venti latte from Starbucks. No great eating choices working at the quilt show yesterday either. I should have just had the protein shake I took. Back on track today!
3/30 139.5 Sweet Tomatoes for lunch yesterday. Red Lobster with A&C today. Don’t understand the gain, will stick to the plan.
3/31 139.0 I had the Lunch Garlic Shrimp Scampi with broccoli and a garden salad with red wine vinegar for lunch yesterday. YUM! Today I’m going to the quilt show.
4/1 139.0 Yesterday morning I had my coffee and grabbed a “3 ingredient peanut butter cookie” as I went out the door. That little cookie kept me satisfied until 6PM! Then I made a hamburger patty, fried egg and spinach. (The cookie recipe says to make 15 1” balls but I ended up with 26 1” balls. Clearly the writer needed a ruler! LOL)
4/2 139.0. Water fitness starts today! At 7:45AM it is 65* and sunny! I’ve had my morning coffee and have an hour to “process” it.
4/3 139.0 I expected to be sore this morning but think drinking a copious amount of water (at least 17 cups) has flushed the lactic acid from my muscles. I feel GREAT!
4/4 138.5 I am off to water fitness!9 -
Round 9 for me. I REALLY wanted to shoot for ONEDERLAND this round, so I'm going to. I may not get there, but I'm going to give it all I've got. Potential issues that could slow me down: one scheduled day of basketball, my brother-in-law flaking out on me again regarding teaching me squats and deadlifts (meeting up with him Saturday night), Easter (dinner and candy), and potentially feeling a little bit MEH. No matter what happens regarding my goal, though, my weight trend is clearly and steadily heading in the right direction.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 = 203.4 (-0.8). Another BOUNCE BACK™, but a good way to start the challenge. I'm getting excited about the Keto idea, but it's not so much about weight loss (as I'm getting pretty good at that). I've talked about potential health benefits (less inflammation, something good regarding my brain, etc.), but I also recognize how hopelessly addicted to sugar I am. To me, if it's not actually a drug, it might as well be. When I get near it, I go insane. It takes EVERYTHING in me to avoid partaking in this habit, and EVEN MORE to get me to stop once I've started. It's a craving, it NEVER makes me feel good when I eat it (just my taste buds!), and I think my life might be a little better when it's no longer part of it. This will be an experiment, but one that I'm excited to try. As soon as I make an appointment with my doctor to make sure I'm not going to kill myself with it, that is. Food was good yesterday, though may have been just slightly below maintenance (I'm careful to estimate "over" when tracking food). Going to the gym tonight with my wife. I'm pretty fit overall, and I did a bunch of research regarding proper form on squats and deadlifts, so I'm going to try them tonight (with very light weights). T minus one more week before I can play basketball again (stupid Spring Break).
3/30 = 203.2 (-0.2). Had a decent day eating yesterday. I'm noticing that, since I've been tracking steps and having them converted to "extra calories," I've been eating all those calories. It's not bad, necessarily, but it's been happening. What also happens, though, is I'm walking a lot more as a result. It's probably a good tradeoff, but I'm thinking I'll try to eat back no more than half (something I try to do on any exercise day). I'm 99% sure I'm going to try keto. If I can get through the first 8 weeks, I'll stick with it for at least 6 months to see if I notice any tangible benefits. I'm going to start in a couple of weeks, though, because I want to enjoy my Easter candy in a non-binge way. My last hurrah. Don't judge me!
3/31 = 202.0 (-1.2). DROOSH™ (night after drinking). Happy hour with coworkers led to 3 beers (not too bad), a quesadilla (all I had for dinner), and a minor binge on Peeps and Lucky Charms marshmallows (450 calories or so) when I got home. Food otherwise was pretty good for the day. Finally going to learn deadlifts and squats from my brother-in-law today (unless he flakes). Having a hard time trusting that this is my actual weight, but I'm going to suspend disbelief for today.
4/1 = 202.4 (+0.4). I expected a bigger bump than this, so I'm relatively happy with this number. I have to confess that I am writing this in the evening after a really long Easter Sunday at my in-laws' house. I had lunch out with my wife and brother-in-law yesterday, but at a small dinner to compensate (and stayed under calories). I finally learned how to deadlift and squat (as brother-in-law did NOT flake on me), so I'll be starting SL 5x5 soon (probably a week from tomorrow). I'll write about today (Easter) tomorrow morning after my weigh-in. Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend.
4/2 = 205.0 (+2.6). This would be shocking if it wasn't so expected. Holidays are kind of meh. My plan for this week was to spread my candy out over the next two weeks. I'll have some of it, but I think I'll be giving most of it away. Ready to jump back on the wagon this week. Have a friend visiting on Tuesday and Wednesday; will try to make healthy choices and eat/drink reasonable portions.
4/3 = 203.4 (-1.6). BOUNCE BACK™. I didn't eat in a particularly healthy way yesterday, but I was within calories, so it was better than Easter! Yesterday I ate at one of the places I won't be eating at when I start my new way of eating. I'm doing a bit of a "farewell tour" of sorts. I'm not going to change my challenge goal, but it's going to be TOUGH to reach at this point, especially with my friend visiting tonight and tomorrow (she's a foodie/drinkie). I'll do what I can to get close. At least basketball is back this Thursday. That should help out my bottom line. Feeling a little disconnected today; I wonder how much my 5 hours of sleep has to do with it. My wife and I spent about 7 hours cleaning last night after work in preparation of my friend's visit (my wife spent an extra 3 hours after I went to bed). I need to get myself motivated to keep my home cleaner on a regular basis. These marathon cleaning sessions could lead to divorce if we're not careful.
4/4 =204.4 (+1.0). Had dinner out with my friend (ate too much, salty), and had 3 beers. Definitely over on calories. Going to a museum today, so should get plenty of steps today.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 - 167 - not much cardio this week but looking forward to stepping it up next week!
3/30 - 169 - Felt heavy this morning and knew the scale would reflect it. Didn't drink much water yesterday and while I was under calories, what I did eat wasn't the best choice for me. Hoping to make up for yesterday, today and have a better weigh in tomorrow!
3/31 - 168 - Weighing less than yesterday but still heavier than when I started. Ate a healthy breakfast and lunch yesterday but may have had too many pepperoni rolls and mojitos at dinner. Doing a 30 minute strength training this morning and then get some walking in doing some shopping. Hoping for a better weigh in tomorrow.
4/1 - 170 - My weight is so up and down from day to day! I was under calories yesterday but I didn't drink as much water as I normally do. I didn't eat any of my earned exercise calories and I still gain weight. Feeling a little bloated this morning though so I'm hoping it's just water weight. Going to watch what I eat today for Easter and load up on water. Happy Easter all!
4/2 - 171 - Was expecting the increase so not surprised and won't let it get me down. Today I was able to get back into the gym for some cardio and got my sweat on listening to some good music, came home and took care of some outdoor chores and going to finish out my evening with Day 6 of my 30 day challenge. Feeling optimistic for future weigh ins and hoping to atleast be back to the weight I started this round at if not less. This may be my first round here but it won't be my last
4/3 - 170 - Nice to see the scale going back down, hoping to see another decrease tomorrow. Hitting the gym today and will complete Day 7 of my challenge. Daughter did the challenge with me yesterday and it was a lot of fun doing it together and she asked if I would wait for her to get home from school today so we could do it together again. Hoping to also fit in a nice walk today during my daughter's soccer practice if the rain ever let's up.
4/4 - 169 - So excited to see the scale dropping again. Hope to keep it going for the next couple days. Drinking lots of water and I been having salads for lunches. Have been able to not eat back any of my exercise calories and I haven't been starving so that's always a plus. Took it easy on my 30 Day Challenge yesterday but still got 45 minutes of cardio in. Plan on doing a cardio session today after work and giving it my all on my challenge. Excited to hop on the scale tomorrow morning.
