JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 45

puttyputty · June 2018

I notice that I keep making the same typo over and over. I'll write my weight as 24x when I mean 23x, or 23x when I mean 22x. My brain is struggling to keep up with my body!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 - Wednesday - 196.6 - Worked really hard to avoid stress eating last night - stayed within calories and made dinner at home after some less than stellar news at work. HUGE WIN - as I normally would have went straight for the comfort foods on the way home. Now to continue on with good planning and choices because the stress shall remain for a while. Cheesesteak stuffed pepper for dinner tonight for me and cheesesteak sandwich for DH. Breakfast smoothie and lunch prepped and packed and made it to work on the early side so feeling good about all those things. Going to an outdoor concert friday and packing a picnic so need to plan that menu. Lots of planning has gotten me this far and I'm finally starting to enjoy the habit.

Here you go! Lots of variations and I usually just microwave my pepper to par cook it before the oven. One of my favorite lower carb dinners!

@puddlegoober,
Do you use organic apple cider vinegar? I've read that many people say ACV helped them kick the sugar cravings. I have been using ACV off and on for 30 years. In my entire life I have never had sugar cravings. I can't even remember the reason I started using acv. For me, when I use it daily I never get a common cold or have sinus problems. It improved my gut health, cured my acid reflux, I KNOW that it began to strip the belly fat off of me. When I first started this current weightloss journey, the healthiest food I was consuming was green smoothies, but I also was eating cake, chips, fries, bread, etc. I do think ACV helped me to transition away from those detrimental "foods" and get back to healthy eating.

Tastes awful, yes, but give it a try for a week. I add 1 TB to water and drink it in the morning, first thing. You can also add it to olive oil or avocado oil with herbs for a salad dressing.

This is my 2nd Round.

Round 44
Start Weight: 171
End Weight : 165.8
Total Lost: 5.2 lbs

Round 45 Goal: 163 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

6/27: Weight = 165.8 Scale hasn't moved in 3 days...Will just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for a whoosh to be coming! Completed Day 8 of The Betty Rocker 30 Day Challenge yesterday which was an Abs workout and was under in calories for the day. My hamstrings are a bit tight today so I'm going to do some stretches and get in a short shake out run before today's Day 9 workout. This group really motivated me to stay committed the last round, hoping to do the same this round!

Age 60, 5'4.5" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 [R39] to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss had stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
