Round 40 (previous round)
05/08: 154.0 Did ok all day, stuck w/ prelogged meals & snacks, and net calories w/i limit... then late evening snacking on walnut halves ~ ack!!! Really liking my new calorie limit, but need to figure out what to do about snack attacks ~ I never used to. Rest day ~ Fitbit 10,194 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 30 floors. Raked part of front yard after work ~ so many whirlybirds ~ that was a good arm workout!
05/09: 154.0 Yes! Stuck pretty much w/ prelogged meals, snacks + one curveball. Net calories green, sodium red (leftover Chinese food), sugar -13 (some fruit, power muffin, but also unplanned small portion of ice cream cake in office for manager's granddaughter's 5th bday ~ don't get me started!), fiber & protein good & 17c water ~ actually felt thirsty! Walked dog before work / 3.4 mi 1:02:23.

05/10: 153.5 I think changing my MFP setting to 1/2# per week, and having more net calories to play with, is agreeing with me. Net calories -15, sodium -721, sugar -19 (mostly fruit, power muffin & yogurt), fiber excellent, protein good & 14c water. Walked dog before work in off + on sprinkles + beat the rain / 3.43 mi 1:01:05 / remembered to stretch. Fitbit 16,489 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 46 floors. Workplace step challenge ~ currently in 31st place / top 30 women get prize at 10-week point... too bad leader board combines men & women, and everyone is listed by code number with no gender identification.
05/11: 154.0 Net calories -85, sodium -517, sugar -13, fiber & protein good & 14c water. Walked dog after work 3.42 mi 59:43. Fitbit 13,538 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 41 floors.
05/12: 153.5 Rest day / Fitbit 9,134 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 33 floors. Net calories -156, sodium green (yay), sugar -12, protein good, fiber excellent & 14c water, so not too bad for rest day.

05/14: 153.5 Walked dog 4.36 miles 1:16:38 pace 17:34 ~ happy dog & happy me. Fitbit 18,600 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 & 33 floors. Dinner plans had to be changed b/c something I thought I had in freezer - not! Still managed to keep net calories & sugar green, sodium red, fiber & protein a little low, 14c water.
05/15: 153.0 Weight machine & circuit training before work. Fitbit 14,642 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 18 floors ~ observation fieldwork = lots of steps. Net calories green (yay), sodium -673, sugar -32 (had no idea baked beans would be so high / may have screwed up glucose reading ~ ack!), fiber & protein excellent & 14c water.
