Day/Weight/Comment

4/8 (Sunday) - 212.4
4/9 (Monday) - 211.6 (209lbs 3 hours later? This was not a fluke. I weighed myself 2 more times afterwards.)

4/10 (Tuesday) - 211.4 - Ahh, but today.... whatever. Keep calm and keto on? Yep. It has been almost 3 weeks since I've had a full gallon of water or close to it each day. I know that is the culprit. I usually have no problem drinking water and can easily drink a gallon a day, but I also occasionally have a brief period of not being able to drink past 60 to 64 ounces in a day. Don't know what that is about.
4/11 (Wednesday) - 210 - Apparently, the water within me loves to tease. This morning 4 different weigh ins, 1 minute apart, my readings were, 203 (yeah, that was first, I had to laugh), 206, 210 and 210.4. so, I averaged them and came up with 207.4. That could be my weight,

4/12 (Thursday) - 210.6 - Smh
4/13 (Friday) - 210 -
4/14 (Saturday) - 210- I don't know what my weight was this morning, didn't weigh. Feeling somewhat under the weather today, so resting and trying to get myself together before evening. My 4 grands are coming this evening, and all of them will want my undivided attention, individually, lol. I can't wait to see them. I love them so much. I'll be worn out tomorrow.


4/15 (Sunday) - 208.6 - Mmm I don't know if that's true. I weighed on a different scale this morning. We shall see.

4/16 (Monday) -

This is Round 10 for me. I had a rough end of Round 9, but there are things to look forward to. I'm officially going to start a keto WOE on Monday, 4/16, and I'm going to work on cutting down my carbs significantly before then (to get myself in the mood).

Day/Weight/Comment

4/8 = 207.0 (-0.4). Played basketball yesterday, but had parents over and took them out to dinner to my favorite Mexican place. At least weight is heading in the proper direction.

4/9 = 205.4 (-1.6). BOUNCE BACK™. I had a good day eating yesterday, topped off by my favorite salad from a relatively healthy restaurant. Went grocery shopping for the week and tried to look around for some easy ready-made stuff that will work in a pinch when I start keto next week, and was able to find a couple of things (which was nice). My wife and I started our SL 5x5 last night, and I only wanted to spank her once or twice as she argued with me regarding a program I have done extensive research on (and that she knows NOTHING about). We got through it. I'm really happy to see my weight headed back down relatively quickly. As much as I know big spikes in weight are very temporary (as long as I'm being accountable and generally staying the course), it still sometimes feels traumatizing to see them. I'm going to begin to cut down on my carbs and stay away from all sweets this week (except my birthday on Saturday) in preparation for my new lifestyle.

4/10 = 204.2 (-1.2). Another BOUNCE BACK™. After freaking out 3 days ago (gaining 5 lbs in 2 days), it's nice to have again the experience of noticing things going back to normal as the days pass. Just about down to my SW from last round, and I couldn't ask for anything more at this point. I ate pretty well yesterday (slightly under maintenance), but I had a sugar binge (500 calories or so). I'm officially throwing out my remaining candy when I get home tonight. It's the Devil. I'll have a bit of my birthday cake on Saturday, but that's it for sweets for the foreseeable future. I need to figure out some Keto stuff on the subject of sweets (whether to subtract from total carbs fiber and sugar alcohols), but I think I'm generally just going to avoid them at this point, unless I learn something amazing. I need to get my taxes done, and I have some things from work that I need to accomplish at home, so I'm going to focus on that for the next couple of days (at the expense of exercise). I'll get back to the exercise on Thursday (SL 5x5 and my normal basketball night).

4/11 = 202.6 (-1.6). ANOTHER BOUNCE BACK™! This is just getting silly now, but I love it. And if I'm being honest and objective about this, what's happening right now fits a clear pattern that's been well-established by me and others here. For me - one bad meal takes 4-5 days to recover from. 4 days later, I'm just about recovered. Yesterday was great eating-wise. I was under calories, and no sugar binge. Taxes just about done. Basketball tomorrow, plus day 2 of SL 5x5. I miss exercise.

4/12 = 203.4 (+0.8). This feels likely a normal fluctuation, even if it's on the slightly extreme side. I was under maintenance yesterday, though salt intake was a little high. I have basketball and SL 5x5 tonight, and I'm going to make this a GREAT eating day. All the candy in my home had been eliminated (by my mouth). Still trying to cut down on carbs in preparation for my new Keto lifestyle (starting Monday).

4/13 = 201 (-2.4). WHOOSH™. The circle is complete. I'm a pound lower than I've been since I joined this group. This happens, of course, on the day before my birthday. I'm going to try my best to keep it under control tomorrow. ONEDERLAND is so close I can taste it. Food was great yesterday. Basketball was amazing, too. Drank 21.5 cups of water. No complaints today!

4/14 = 202.2 (+1.2). 46 today. Going to try my best to plan things out. There's dinner (burger) and cake tonight. A couple of beers later when I go bowling. I'm going to enjoy myself, but I'm trying not to have "a weekend" that I have to spend all week coming back from. Had a screwy lunch yesterday that threw things off for me food-wise, but I was around maintenance calories. I think my extreme WHOOSH™ from yesterday may not have been completely accurate, and that this is just a correction. My goal for the next 3 days is to maintain this weight. Basketball on Monday will help.

4/15 = 204.0 (+1.8). This actually wasn't bad for my birthday last night. I moderated as much as I could: amazing dinner, delicious cake, and a couple of beers when I went bowling. Keto starts tomorrow morning. Got my blood work done yesterday morning in order to set a baseline for my conversation with my doctor (about Keto). My weekend is over today (eating should be good). SL 5x5 tonight with my wife, basketball tomorrow. I think I'll have one last beer tonight.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

4/8 138.5
4/9 138.0 Water fitness this morning and I am going to begin to clean my sewing room. I have been in a funk and there is not a surface that isn’t buried! The daybed is covered with clothes that were a little small when I bought them last summer. They will either fit now or be too big! When I hit this weight last week, did I say I hadn’t visited this number since 2011? 10 days to HS reunion!
4/10 138.0 The last day of my 100 day challenge!
4/11 138.5 Had horrible leg cramps after water fitness. Glad my friends were near and helped get me to the shallow water!
4/12 138.0 I ate some French fries last night. They did not agree with me.
4/13 137.5 Too chilly for water fitness this morning. The high today is supposed to be 74. 93 one day, two days later almost 20 degrees cooler! Spring in the desert!
4/14 138.5 Spent about 5 hours yesterday showing a friend around parts of Las Vegas that are not The Strip. 124% of my steps goal. Ate at El Pollo Loco twice.
4/15 138.0 Had lunch yesterday at Jimmy John’s, #9 Unwich. Spent several hours with quilty friends planning a project, ate leftover salad with chicken for supper then off to listen to live music. Nothing planned for today except perhaps sitting in the sun at the pool.

4/9: 148.8 I was under my calorie goals but rested. I'm on heavy duty medication due to rotator cuff tendinitis. I think I'll save the muscle relaxers for night time so that I can do cardio during the day.

4/10: 147.8 Yaya! I'm finding that by drinking 64 oz. really makes a difference! Got my cardio in yesterday.
4/11: 147.0
4/12: 147.0
4/13: 145.8 What happened to 146?
4/14: 144.8 I'm not sure I understand these big drops. I see my personal trainer today. Let's see what she says.

Day - Weight - Comment
4/8 - 95.1kg - 209.6lbs - Had a family party to attend and it was a big occasion, lots of beer, food and there was no way I was able to keep track of it, it happens oh well! Probably find the food weight drops off in a couple of days! Had an output of 3095 calories mainly due to me working on the Saturday walking up and down the floors doing some upgrades, used the stairs instead of the lift! End of this round I will be happy with 204lbs... hopefully. (Weigh time 7:00am)
4/9 - 94.4kg - 208.1lbs - 2050 calories vs 2255 expenditure, had a nice even day of eating while I was working on Sunday to balance out the craziness of Saturday night, this is mainly just food and water weight but if it happens again I’m not going to moan! (Weigh time 7:30am)
4/10 - 93.7kg - 206.5lbs - 1884 calories vs 2668 expenditure,I got a day off for all the weekend work so I literally did nothing but go and grab a couple of pairs of jeans from the shops, how I managed to drop again yesterday I don’t know but keep it coming! Surely not another drop tomorrow?! Not exercised in 6 days, was going to cycle to work today but RAIN (UK) killed all hopes of that. (Weigh time 7:30am)
4/11- 93.7kg - 206.5lbs - 1879 calories vs 2944 expenditure, the drop ends with a nice even number, normal day back in the office for me, very disciplined with my food as a normal day is, lots of water, went and watched the football in the evening, didn’t cycle again because of that god damn rain! On target for 92.5kg/204lbs by the end of the round hopefully.... stay strong and don’t give up people! (Weigh time 6:30am)
4/12 - 92.9kg - 204.8lbs -1600 calories vs 2958 expenditure, WOW! I i know I’ve been strict lately but my god, must still be weight from the Holiday/Saturday night binge I guess, expecting a rise tomorrow I’d say... I’ve also challenged someone at work to see who can lose the most by June 1st, hopefully I can win.... stay focused people just think about the long term. (Weigh time 6:30am)
4/13 - 93kg - 205lbs - 1567 calories vs 2975 expenditure, ITS OFFICIALLY 6 MONTHS TO THE DAY THAT I STARTED MY DIET AND I HAVE LOST 13.9KG/30LBS, nice level weigh in today very happy, managed to cycle into work this morning as the weather held up and it felt GREAT, working late this evening as we have a power down so will be lots of running around lifting things so a few calories got rid of then, and then hopefully planning on cycling home maybe half way then get the train the rest of the way, we shall see.... feeling good, four more days of this round can i get into the 91kg range!? (Weigh time 6:00am) - PS I AM GONNA SMASH THIS CHALLENGE AGAINST MY COLLEAGUE!
4/14 - 92.6kg - 204.1lbs - 1721 calories vs 3829 expenditure, I was finally able to cycle yesterday because because the weather held up and did a total of 16.5 miles, walked up and down the stairs in our building during the evening work so burnt more then, and started my running journey by running 0.82 miles and managed to do it in 6:50 which I was relatively happy with! I am almost 100% sure I can manage another 0.1kg in the next 3 days! (Weigh time 7:30am)
4/15 - 92.3kg - 203.4lbs - 1863 calories vs 2874 expenditure, had a good day yesterday, went and watched the football during the day then off to the pub to watch the Tottenham City game in the evening, doing overtime today so I cycled in which was 14.5miles, a good workout, smashing it since I joined this challenge very happy! (Weigh time 7:30am)
4/16 - 91.9kg - 202.6lbs - 1747 calories vs 3413 expenditure, did a lot of steps yesterday along with cycling, today is a rest day which is very much welcomed, I’ve been so strict with what I’m eating I’m not surprised I keep dropping but not sure if this is a temporary chain of drops or if I can stick to this! One day left and I’ve hit my target. (Weigh time 6:00am)
