Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 37

"Our greatest glory is, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith

Round 37 = Goal = Maintain 125-130. Going on a significant trip 4/12-4/24, away from scale and kitchen and kitchen scale and likely, some of the time, internet. Will be an emotional trip too, I can guarantee. So just hoping and praying I can be sensible, in every way, not just about food.

4/8 - 127.2 - under maintenance yesterday and 10K steps. Have not done any regular exercise in a week apart from some walking-grade aerobics.

Lord I sure could use A LOT of motivation. Fell down the rabbit hole in the summer of 2016. No excuses because I have little patience for them. 20 months and 20 lbs later I feel exhausted and disappointed

4/8: 142.6, started today with coffee, 2 slices of Dave’s Killer Bread (thin slice), 42g of avocado (yes, I am a bit OCD), and a medium hard cooked egg (I’ve got chickens so I eat a lot of eggs)
I’ll update at the end of the day.
Cheers!

Hi jerier!
Welcome back! Bravo for jumping back in!

BTW: I weigh everything, often in grams, too & no OCD here. I like knowing what I’m eating so I can more accurately figure out my maintenance levels in the future!

I also prefer recipes with weights for the ingredients - no measuring cups or finicky measuring spoons! Just plop bowl on scale & tare after each ingredient!! (I do this for my salads too!)

Have a great day!
Maddy

4/8 148.4 This is my plateau. This is where I sabotage myself and gain it all back. I'm pushing through it this time. FTDI day 6.

This round will be working back to achieve daily logging, eating at deficit to lose vacation gain, and returning to regular exercise. I have not weighed myself since March 25th and feel as if I have gained 15 pounds. I hope that I will get my courage up to step on the scale tomorrow morning, but if I don't, I will start to log, exercise, and eat at a deficit. Our vacation was amazing, and I knew I would gain this weight. It has been hard getting back to the kind of eating that I need to stay under 140 pounds. I will start full force tomorrow.

Had a good Sunday. Followed my normal routine of driving into town for a beer and lunch/dinner -tritip sandwich.
Skipped the usual processed junk food. Yay!
Finishing my day under 1400.

I'm back. Took a few rounds off because weighing everyday and not seeing the scale move as fast as I thought it should was affecting me mentally. I know that the scale lies, but it was hard to not see the scale move at the rate I thought it should. Regardless of the scale my clothes are fitting looser and I'm getting stronger, so I am doing good.

4/8 139.7 I'm super happy I finally broke 140 this morning. I'm enjoying my fasting routine but slipped up with self control a couple of days last week. Today I get to eat from 10 am to 8 pm. Then I'll start another fasting phase. I'm starting to see some weight loss changes in my body.
