Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 40

Day/Weight/Comment
This is my first round. I Started dieting last may lost 22 kg before desember. Then I stopped logging. Didnt gain before easter. And then I guess I just thought hey I have masterd this I can just eat without thinking because now I know what is enough. But I guess I was thinking more about what I was eating before easter because 5 kg jumped on so I am back to logging.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/08 - 184 - Training yesterday, really stiff this morning.
5/09 - 183.8 - Leg day yesterday.
5/10 - 184.2 - Kind of feeling bloaty today. Training later this morning. I'll be glad when it cools back down to the 90s this weekend. Feels early to be around 105.
5/11 - 183.2 - And back down. Training yesterday,
5/12 - 182.8 - New low! It's just a nudge under 183 but I'll take it!
5/13 - 183 - Scale still acting weird (at one point read 187 which I don't even weigh at the gym with all my clothes and shoes on.)
5/14 - 184? - More scale shenanigans. But I do believe I'm kind of bloated from this weekend's food choices.
5/15 - 184.5 - Checked with the gym scale. Looks like the 184s are accurate. Did just ramp up my activity level again. I'll try for more hydration today.
5/16 - 184.2 - A little better.

R39: AW 219.86


R40: SW: 219.3

I made a goal for the last round and I found it really motivated me, so I'm going to put a goal out there again.

Goal for this round: Average weight in the 218's

Day/Weight/Comment
5/08--219.7 Still water weight from lunch on Sunday. After the last round I now recognize that it can take my body up to 3 days to release water weight from excess sodium.
5/09--218.9 Going to kettlebell tonight.
5/10--219.1 Had a really tough kettebell workout yesterday and I was so busy at work that I didn't drink a lot of water. Got to get water in today.
5/11--219.1 Holding steady. Kettlebell tonight.
5/12--218.9 Sore from tough kettlebell workout yesterday. Working to stay in the 218's for the rest of round. Need to make sure to drink water this weekend.
5/13--219.7 HA! Ironic that when I just say yesterday that I want to stay in the 218's for the rest of the round my weight goes back up to the highest weight of this round. No more weight goals for me, I will just work at it day to day and let the scale do what it wants to do.
5/14--219.3 Had a lazy day yesterday. Got water in. Kettlebell tonight.
5/15--219.3 Holding steady. Did not go to kettlebell last night. Got my water in yesterday, will work on getting it in again today.
5/16--218.9 Trend is trending down. Kettlebell tonight.
5/17

I didn't realize until a few minutes ago that I'm more than 50 lbs down from my heaviest weight (January 2015). When I see 190 again, my weight will be lower than it's been since high school. Life is working, and I'm just going to take another moment to thank everyone here for everything. This place has allowed me to sit with whatever it is that's been bothering me. It's given me space to really examine how I've been living my life, especially the pattern(s) that have been derailing me from previous success. I feel so much more prepared to deal with life than I was a few months ago, and this group has everything to do with that. I'm blessed to have you in my life, and I love each and every one of you.

Day/Weight/Comment

5/8 = 194.0 (-0 2). I finally went shopping on Sunday night, and I actually food prepped last night. I made a sausage and pepper soup (delicious) and a bacon frittata (also delicious). Tonight I'm getting some new cookware that I need in order to finish my food prep: a chicken casserole thingy. Lots of work getting it done, but it felt good. And it's great not having to stress about where I'm getting my next meal. And it tastes good!!! 4 more days until I can resume basketball/lifting weights, but I might cheat a couple of days early and play Thursday.

5/9 = 194.2 (+0.2). I stayed "on plan" last night, but impulsively had another serving of dinner. And then a little bit of dark chocolate. I was on-target with carbs, but over everywhere else. Snacked a bit to much during the day, which left me with very little wiggle room at the end of the night. I really wasn't hungry; it was impulsive. Moment noted. I'm not going to dwell. My tattoo is looking/feeling pretty healed. I'm going to take a pic of it, send it to my artist, and ask for permission to play basketball tomorrow. Focusing on avoiding snacking when I'm not hungry today.

5/10 = 193.6 (-0.6). A tiny WHOOSH™. I literally overate slightly last night, so there's no other explanation. Overeating slightly is eating my prepared food, and then my wife comes home and says she wants tacos (which includes fresh chips and guac) from a local place. I get a skirt steak burrito with no refried beans and extra steak. I throw away the tortilla, throw some guac on top, and that was my snack. I also had lunch out for my friend's birthday, and had a salad with tuna salad, avocado, and Caesar dressing. Everything I ate for the day was Keto-friendly. It is getting easier. It really feels like I can do this long-term. I'm playing basketball tonight!!! And lifting weights.

5/11 = 192.6 (-1.0). A regular ole' WHOOSH­™. I don't understand it, but I'll take it. I drove about 30 minutes to play basketball last night after lifting weights, and the high school I play at apparently decided to setup the gym with tables and chairs for something, so no basketball last night. Infuriating. I was out in the field for work yesterday and decided to stop at Panda Express for lunch. I made the mistake of not checking carbs before eating my food; I now know that Teriyaki Chicken (with no sauce) has 11 carbs, and whatever the Steak option is has 16 carbs. I probably ingested less carbs than that; I didn't eat all the vegetables in my steak dish (only the ones I know are Keto-friendly), and I pretty much ignored my vegetable side. It was an important lesson, though; trust no one! Plus, if I'm being honest, I did some math in my head when I was ordering, and I probably should have figured it out. I knew total calories, I knew protein content, and I could have probably extrapolated the fat/carb macros. Not to mention I could have just plugged everything in to one of my handy dandy apps that does all that crap for me automatically. Anyhoo... I ate great the rest of the day (ended up with 36 net carbs), so the damage was minimized, but YEAH. And somehow I still dropped a pound. On a side note, my wife is getting jealous at my continued weight loss. I'm trying not to influence her directly in any way (which is unusual for me), but I think she's coming around to it on her own.

5/12 = 192.6 (no change). Had a normal day yesterday. Ate within plan for breakfast and lunch, and had dinner out (guacamole bacon lettuce wrap). All macros good. It's raining and but I'm about to get on my motorcycle to go to the gym and play basketball. I'm going to a party today, but I'm going to eat breakfast and lunch before I'm going, and I'm confident that I can tolerate whatever comes up.

5/13 = 192.2 (-0.4). Played basketball, and didn't hurt my back. I had a good day eating breakfast and lunch, and ate fine for dinner at wife's aunt's birthday party until dessert showed up. I really have to have a "no dessert" policy if I want to do this Keto thing consistently right. Or I can bring my own Keto-friendly dessert. Hmm. People are telling me I look skinny. Someone asked me last night if I could coach them on weight loss. I'm wondering how much further I want to take this. I think 185 will be good, but we'll see when I get there. My scale says my body fat is down to 15.7%. I definitely have some work to do in that area.

5/14 = 194.4 (+2.2). Alright. I didn't mention yesterday that I had probably 6 drinks on Saturday (a couple of doubles of bourbon/Coke Zero, and a couple of glasses of Sauvignon Blanc). Yesterday morning's slight weight loss was probably a bit of a DROOSH™. I didn't feel sick yesterday, but I didn't feel like drinking any water, either. I also had a couple of small servings of dry bubbly for Mother's Day (while everyone else had mimosas). Bottom line, my recorded weight yesterday likely didn't reflect reality. I ate fine yesterday. This morning's weigh-in, I believe, is my Saturday catching up with me. It's fine. While I was a little surprised this morning, a quick self-reflection put things squarely into focus; this is why I weigh myself every morning, and why I post here every morning. This is just information, and having a semi-bad day two days ago is NOT going to throw me off. I'm playing basketball tonight, and going to lift weights at the gym before I do. My lower back is still not 100%, but it's getting better, and I'm stretching it constantly. I'm not sure exactly why, but I'm feeling a bit uneasy today. It might be the job interview I have tomorrow, but it feels like it's something else.

5/15 = 194.2 (-0.2). I'm not sure what's going on here, exactly. I feel a little bloated, but I was completely on-plan yesterday, I drank enough water, AND it was a basketball day. Did Saturday mess me up even more than I gave it credit for? I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn yesterday at basketball. Really bad shooting day. Still, my team only lost one game (they're all pick-up games), my body felt okay, and I walked away, which is the only real goal I have anymore when playing basketball.

5/16 = 192.2 (-2.0). Total BWHOOSH™ (formerly known as BOUNCE BACK™). Nothing special about yesterday, but a pretty huge drop. I drove about 200 miles today for work, had to leave really early (hence the late entry here), and I'm exhausted. Hopefully my weight will stay right where it's at (or even drop a little) for tomorrow. I have another stupid crazy driving day at work tomorrow. I'll try to get up a little early so I can post (and not feel funky).

Starting weight: 503.2
Starting weight this round: 503.2
Goal weight overall: 199.0
Goal this round: 495.0

5/08: 503.2- Highest I have ever weighed. I am hopeful with this new plan I am going to be doing. I'm also excited to join this forum for accountability.
5/09: 501.8- I could have done a lot better. Today is a new day and I will continue to push forward but do even better than I did yesterday.
5/10 500.8- I think I am being a bit too hard on myself while wishing I had lost more than just a pound. I did so good yesterday and I am proud of myself for that. Let's do great again today!
5/11 500.6- I know exactly what happened- I did amazing all day long yesterday but for some reason right before I was about to go to sleep, I got so hungry. I ate over my calories by almost 900. It was healthy food but still, calories are calories. I'm ok with todays weigh in.
5/12 498.2- I’m very happy with this because I tried hard. This just proves I’m able to live a life I’m use to while losing weight. I went out to eat but counted calories and made sure not to go over.
5/13 No weigh in today because I only slept 3 hours. Plus I overate last night big time. Regret sunk in after it happened. It’s a vicious cycle having an eating disorder. Anyways, Happy Mother’s Day.
5/14 500.6- I wasn’t able to weigh myself yesterday and I let myself go a bit. Mother’s Day has always been a hard one for me. This just shows how quickly I can put on weight when I don’t pay attention to the scale or the food I’m putting in my mouth. I took an active decision to get back on track today. No weigh in tomorrow because I won’t be home tonight or tomorrow. Going swimming today!
5/15 No weigh in today because I wasn’t home. I spent the night with my girlfriends family and I had such a wonderful time. Swimming, a bonfire, a ton of laughs. This included the wrong types of food and no calorie counting. Tomorrow will be scary on the scale because I gain weight rather easily.
5/16 498.8- I’m grateful for this weigh in, although I’m really confused about it. So far today I haven’t done great at all. I’m really excited for round 41. I plan to rock it! Even though it starts on a Friday, I’m going to embrace it.
