Round 44 report: Logged 6/10 days, 4/5 cardio workouts, 1/5 mini-strength workouts. Maintenance at 125-130 but average was up to 128.
Round 45 GOAL = Log every day. Cut sugary treats for THIS 10-DAY ROUND. Get 4 cardio workouts. Get 4 MINI strength workouts.
6/27 - 127.0 - yesterday under maintenance calories, no treat sugar, 7K steps.
6/28 - 127.2 - yesterday under maintenance calories, 13K steps including run to gym and elliptical 35 minutes.
6/29 - 127.4 - yesterday just over maintenance calories, 7K steps. It was the third day of avoiding extra sugary treats. Found myself when very tired at night, having a hard time wanting something treat-y.
6/30 -127.0 - yesterday just under maintenance calories, 10K steps and a "mini" strength workout. 1AM, couldn't sleep and caved with some sugar hoping it would knock me out, but it did not. So that is an awesome learn.
Extended my goal to the rest of this round without sugary treat foods. Just to be clear: not doing keto, don't consider myself addicted to sugar, and I try not to have any morality surrounding my use or disuse of C6-H12-O6. We all do this different and THAT IS OKAY. We all use whatever words we need to, to get our own attention and stick with whatever plan we make. I psychologically associate sweet with comfort and soothing, so right now I am experimenting with other coping strategies as part of my ongoing commitment to mindfulness and maintenance.
Thanks for listening and carry on with YOUR plan, loves!
7/1 - 126.0 - TMI alert: if not prunes, then kale. For serious. LOL. Under maintenance yesterday, super hot day, about 8K steps and that was all.
7/2 - 125.4 - this is a new low and likely dehydration, though some of the recent shift is real. Yesterday under maintenance calories, walked a little then ran 2 miles in the "cool" of the evening.
"Under maintenance" means under my (self-determined, based on sedentary) maintenance number PLUS my fitbit allowance, which I routinely eat back most of.
7/3 - 126.8 - yep it was dehydration! I ate salt like a mad thing yesterday, and I hadn't slept well so nothing other than work happened. To bed early and got 9 hours sleep. So weird going to bed when it's light ...
7/4 - 126.2 - yesterday under maintenance calories, only 6K steps, and another good night's sleep.

End of Round 44, 6/26/18, 170.6 (-5)
Total weight lost: 8.2
Round 45
Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: 170.4/Very motivated after the last round. Hoping to blast into and through the 160’s as far as possible these next 10 days.
6/28: 171.0/Yesterday got away from me and I ended up doing things a lot later than planned. Ate candy and had a pop late. Have been going to bed really late and not getting enough sleep.I did get exercise in and was within my calorie budget.
6/29: 171.0/Again did not get eat when I wanted. Working on eating more frequently throughout the day.
6/30: 171.2/Frustrated and disappointed, hoping to get in the 160’s soon. Starting C25k tomorrow. Still trying to focus on eating more frequently throughout the day as opposed to later at night.
7/01: 171.2/Took a break from exercise yesterday, my body needed a break, my lower back has been bothering me. I had such a rapid weight loss initially I was hoping to have more, but I guess that was probably the water weight and now I headed for slow but steady progress hopefully.
7/02: 170.4/Clothes are fitting better and I am feeling well. My skin is looking good and my memory and emotional regulation has improved.
7/03: 169.4/Finally, back in the 160’s!!! Coming right before the 4th will keep me motivated to eat right and continue abstaining from alcohol, yay!
7/04: 169.2/Went for a run this morning, went to a party last night and controlled myself with the food and best of all, NO alcohol. It never ceases to amaze me how there is always someone who can’t just let it go when I say no thank you to alcohol and feels the need to ask questions and ‘pressure’ me to drink.9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/2 260.8 First day!
7/3 258.3 Went for a 6 mile walk yesterday in 95 degree HUMID weather. I was able to stay hydrated - this 2.5 pound weight loss in one day is lost water weight because I was retaining water, not because I didn't drink enough. I'm definitely not expecting such a big drop tomorrow.
7/4 256.3 I'm down 5 pounds! That's probably 4.5lbs of water but I'll take it! I got up at 6 am today to walk 5 miles with the dog before it got too hot. I might go on a bike ride tonight. Happy Fourth!

Love this challenge, the change is slow but can look back and see that there is progress. The slowness makes me value the progress even more and hesitate to risk losing it for some imaginary craving – I do find that generally it’s my emotions that “need/crave” something not my body.
6th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, EW 162.8 = -.2

Round 43 – SW 162, EW 161.6 = -.4
Round 44 – SW 161.6, EW 160 = -1.6
Round 45 – SW 160.8, GW - 159
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128
Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 –Wednesday- 160.8 Well here goes – want to see those 159’s and get 3 areas cleaned up outside. So those should work together if I don’t get overtired and then decide I need/deserve a treat. I find MFP overrates gardening for calories unless you are digging or something like that so will not track it as exercise.
6/28 –Thursday- 160.4 Don’t feel I deserve this, very quick supper and then “finished” after came home from meeting but almost for sure over calories. Otherwise though a very profitable day.
6/29 –Friday- 160.8 Not so great but not too bad.
6/30 –Saturday- 161.2 So my food scale needs a new battery … two days of “I think I didn’t do too bad” and last night “definitely over” and here we are. Determined today will be different. Why do I act like it doesn’t count when I have no scale? Am I really planning to weigh food for the rest of my life?
7/01 –Sunday-
7/02 –Monday-
7/03 –Tuesday-
7/04 –Wednesday- 161.2 Two day trips with lots of driving – one to Fibrefest and bought hemp yarn instead of chocolate (quite a bit more expensive but hey, no calories) second to an all-day music practice. Both days eating out but tried to be careful. I did get a battery for the scale – all set to go for the rest of the month with no more trips (I think) but fun stuff to do so should be good for losing lb.

Yesterday was better for eating. I'm paying on the scale for the sins of my Saturday/Sunday. Trying to keep my head on straight. I'm feeling strangely discouraged by my BF% reading, even though I'm pretty sure it's impossible.
@puddlegoober You can't. Are you using a home scale for your readings? If so, they are not very accurate and the readings can be affected by all sorts of factors - how well hydrated you are, how clean your feet are, when you last ate.... Here's one of many online articles on the subject - http://www.berkeleywellness.com/healthy-eating/diet-weight-loss/article/body-fat-scales-step-right . Note the line "Consumer Reports no longer tests body-fat scales because of their inaccuracies." I used to have one of those scales - a highly rated one - and it had wild swings in my readings even within hours. I ditched it for a weight-only model.
@SheilaBoneham I know these things fluctuate a lot, but it's never done it to ME. Not like that. Not any of the BF% items I've ever owned.
I think it was a fluke. Everything's back to normal. But thank you for the info! I try not to take the readings too personally... just want to use them as information.2 -

@CrowChild You can do it!!!
Thanks, @jerier ! I'm just coming off two weeks of eating very badly so I'm very conscious of slipping off the wagon again.
I really appreciate the support.
@CrowChild Right there with ya! My inner piglet has taken over the cockpit.4 -
I start this round still in the throes of my sugar addiction. I'm doing Keto in every way, except I've had a dessert item every day for the last 10 or so. Trying to break the cycle.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 = 192.0 (+0.6), BF% = 15.4 (no change). Had some dark chocolate chips last night after dinner, so my streak, and the struggle of addiction, continues (had too much, they weren't that "dark"). Haven't been getting enough sleep. I have a "sort of" job interview today; I meet with two people, and based on my meeting I will be "banded" (placed in a category) that will determine my "priority" for getting an interview. I'm tired. Going to need eyedrops and caffeine. I was falling asleep at work yesterday. I should be able to catch up on sleep tonight. Perhaps I'll go to the gym after work, depending on how I'm feeling. My two pound drop on my last weigh-in was likely dehydration, so this number is okay. I really want to break this sugar cycle. Going to try to stay mindful today. I just decided to throw away the chocolate chips. And I just threw them away.
6/28 = 190.2 (-1.8), BF% = 15.3 (-0.1). BWHOOSH™. I only THOUGHT I threw my chocolate chips away at the end of my most recent post (above). I looked in the fridge last night after dinner (and a great day of eating overall), and they were there. They were calling me. I grabbed them, had a couple, and remembered what I posted the day before about my intention to throw them away. So I did. Right in the trash can. I'm going to call that my first step. This weight equals my all-time (more than 25 years) low. I got here a couple of weeks ago, but I've still never had a weigh-in below 190. Today I'm going to focus on eating mindfully, so I can break that plateau. I don't want sugar, so I'm not going to eat it. There's no basketball tonight, but I'm going to commit to going to the gym (full workout) either tonight or tomorrow (my rotating day off, every other Friday). I'm also going to play basketball on Saturday (my first time in almost 3 weeks). I feel like I'm getting back on track.
6/29 = 189.4 (-0.8), BF% = 15.2 (-0.1). I cheated a little bit. Today is my day off, and my weigh-in was a LITTLE later than usual. But I'm still going to take this as a victory (189.x). I did a good job eating yesterday, and I had NO SWEETS WHATSOEVER. Somehow I survived. I'm going to the gym this morning to lift weights, I'm gonna hang out with my Pops after that for a couple of hours, then I'm going to the movies with my brother, his wife, and my niece. Later I'm going to have a drink with my wife and some crazy food that I will try to (I believe I can) keep Keto. I'm going to do my best to budget some calories for tonight, and I will go for a bourbon drink (rather than beer). I'm back to feeling more settled. I think my relapse might be over. It's not time to relax, but I think I can take things down from DEFCON 2 to DEFCON 4.
6/30 = 190.0 (+0.6), BF% = 15.2. Sorry for the late post. I controlled myself pretty well at the bar. Two drinks, stuck with Keto-friendly foods. Basketball happened today, but I'll talk about that tomorrow!
7/01 = 190.8 (+0.8), BF% = 15.2. Basketball was decent, but I hurt my knee a bit. I'll stay off of it until next Saturday. I did "pretty well" at the bar, but I had a couple of drinks, which likely dehydrated me a bit and left me with a weight that is likely under-reporting (I should be heavier, based off my eating). I ate Keto-friendly, but I am finding it hard to portion-control when I'm out and about at a place I really love. I almost go into it purposely not thinking about portion-control, when I could EASILY plan out what I'm going to eat (based off of familiarity with the menu). I'm writing this on Monday morning; if you read this, you'll recognized that I didn't learn any lessons from THIS post (because I'm about to write the other one right now.
7/02 = 193.8 (+3.0), BF% = 15.6 (+0.4). I went to this "thing" last night in the LA area; it was basically a "fair" without any of the rides/games/animals. It was all food, like 100 different booths/trucks. It was insane, and it was all food, all day. I did my best to stick with Keto-friendly things for the most part, but volume of food was a definite issue. I'm sure I didn't eat 3 lbs worth of food (for my lovely weight gain), but I had a moment of weakness with the sweets. Going to this place was a really bad idea, particularly at this stage in my "recovery" from sugar. I'm going to see if I can get RIGHT BACK ON TRACK today, rather than creating another two-week relapse like I had very recently. See previous post for insights I SHOULD have had already. Cut-to-the-chase, when I'm going out to a favorite restaurant, I need to think about portion-control BEFORE I step foot in the place. I'm allowing myself to over-eat, even if I'm generally sticking pretty well with Keto-friendly foods (minus my 10-minute lapse at the food-fair).
7/03 = 193.0 (-0.8), BF% = 15.5 (-0.1). I'm a little confused at how I could gain 2.1% body fat in 2 days, but I'll report it as-is until I figure it out. Yesterday was better for eating. I'm paying on the scale for the sins of my Saturday/Sunday. Trying to keep my head on straight. I'm feeling strangely discouraged by my BF% reading, even though I'm pretty sure it's impossible.
7/04 = 192.0 (-1.0), BF% = 15.4 (-0.1). My scale stopped being obnoxious. I re-entered my BF% for the past couple of days, estimating high, and I'm feeling better. Today is going to be a tough day food- and drink-wise, but I'll try to manage. I do have some GREAT news, though. I have this very foo-foo grocery store near my place (called Erewhon, I think... I can never spell it right and have no idea how to pronounce it). Never mind. Google just decided it for me (I checked). er-uh-hwon. Whatever. They have Keto-friendly desserts! And they're delicious! I checked every ingredient; they definitely work! I even found a beer with less than 1 carb (and no sugar alcohols or anything). It wasn't great, but things like this can make me feel normal (when I need to). Not an every day thing, but certainly a better choice than what my brain was craving. I'll be ecstatic if I can end this round at my SW, but I'll be okay even if I don't. I've decided to significantly increase my exercise regimen to try to break through the 190.00 barrier. I've been a little lazy with working out, and I'm going to remedy that.

Weight stabilizing and I feel great, so I guess this bump is fine. Worked out today and it was a good one. Have to focus on not having dinner too late. May not be able to reach goal of 119 this round.

Yay! Let’s see if it holds. Pushed myself hard yesterday during workout and ate really well. Worked out today too but took it easier today.

Round 45 start weight - 141.10
Round 45 aims - this is an uninterrupted 10 days ahead before we are away again so really looking to make the most of it - definitely planning to be under 140lb, and hopefully heading towards 138lb.......
6/27 - 139.90lb - down 1.2lb - yay! That will do for day 1 and I'm back under the magic 140 - now to make it stick and carry on down... Out of routine today though as off work so need to make an extra effort to keep drinking the water.....
6/28 - 138.70lb - 1.2lb down again today - totally due to losing excess water and carbs from the weekend away. This is good as proves to me that the weight on the scale is so dependant on what we have put in our bodies the days before (macros wise rather than calories) and the scale is not a true reflection of our weight - daily variations can be huge! Also makes me feel better that being back down to this weight means that although the scales told me I had put weight on, I have actually been behaving pretty well
so want to make this stick - although expect a slight gain tomorrow as tonight is a carb heavier home-made burger-night dinner post gym workout. Feeling very positive about this round and really want to try and make this stick (including over the upcoming weekend!)
6/29 - 138.0 - another 0.70lb down - more of the "whoosh" - Love a good whoosh
Been a normal week so been able to be totally in control for a change. I find drinking water in the week easy - bottle permanently in the car and on my desk at work - need to try harder at weekends - get too distracted doing stuff and forget! This was actually my goal for the round so now aiming to get through the weekend without the usual Monday morning gain and carry on losing a bit more before next Friday - reset my round 45 goal to 137.50.
6/30 - 137.20lb down another 0.8lb and the whoosh continues. Although in reality think this is really a result of the last few weeks as I have been consistent but just weighing at the "wrong" time as I haven't been weighing every day. Its the weekend and so far so good though .... Also surpassed my revised end of goal target - so final revision is 137.0 and to make it stick!
7/01 - 137.70 - slightly up from yesterday but ok with this as still down from Friday weigh in. Yesterday was a very late weigh in as actually didn't have to set the alarm for once. Slightly under calories too yesterday. Planned day today means I should be in calories for the day but dinner will be later than normal and being Sunday it will be a roast with dessert - all in calories but heavier dinner than usual. So if weight is up slightly tomorrow I wont be concerned as know I'm still on track Happy Sunday everyone xx
7/02 - 137.00 - not only down since yesterday but (huge happy dance alert!!!))) I actually weigh less on a Monday morning than I did on Friday - 1lb down! I was focused but I also accredit this to our builders starting our extension today so we have spent the weekend demolishing the old garage with a sledge hammer, lugging all the blocks and bricks to the skip and moving a pile of 1,000+ roof tiles to the end of garden out the way!! Was fairly hot here in the UK too over the weekend so drank so much water - but it does just go to prove that losing weight over a weekend is possible (albeit going to extreme measure with a sledge hammer ). Now to keep it off! Heres to a good week one and all ......
7/03 - 136.90 - 0.10lb - a tiny drop but guess after the weight I've dropped the last 5/6 days it cant keep coming off at that rate - shame! But very happy still as my main aim for the rest of this round is to keep it off and steady at around 137.00 so its all good. England play tonight in the World Cup but still going to go to the gym and watch the first half there. Sons wedding in 3 weeks and holiday in just under 5 weeks - #Feeling motivated
7/04 - 136.60 down another 0.30lb. If only all rounds were like this - I have really focused on my food and exercise this round and just proves what giving myself 10 days can do Was slightly under calories yesterday and went to the gym for an hour and feeling really good at the minute - still on target to maintain around 137 by the end of the round.

Goals: 1. 3 lb loss to land in the 180’s (even if it’s hanging by skin of my teeth)
2. No Bingeing
3. No “cheat days” only “Earn days”. No “Earn Days” only “Earn Meals” which are much easier to bounce back from.
4. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
5. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
6. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.
R43 SW 193.8 EW 195.6 +1.8 lbs Gain

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 Today’s weight: 192.4 going out of town today so tomorrow’s weight is not going to be good. Started this challenge with a 1.5 mile walk after dinner and a total of over 9000 steps for the day. Ate fairly healthy though my carbs were a bit over. Calories were good.
6/28 Today’s weight: 194.6 I knew this would happen. Restaurants are my weakness for sure! So much better to eat at home when you can!
6/29 Today’s weight: 192.4 Walked 10,332 steps yesterday. Followed my keto low carb diet very well. Restrained from the late night bingeing, but it was difficult. Used 2 squares of 90% cacao chocolate as my compromise. Bitter but better than nothing. Logged well. Drank my water, vinegar and tea. My blood sugar numbers were fantastic so my body probably loves me right now. I am proud I made it through another day successfully and that the scale reflected my sacrifices.
6/30 Today’s weight: 191.4. Walked 11,005 steps yesterday including work and home. Intermittent fasted for 16:8. No actual exercise or intended walk yesterday due to extreme weather so I am pleased with the scale. I followed my diet without any trouble and reached most of my macros though I was a smidgen low on protein. It’s going to be 100 degrees here in Northern Michigan today which is uncharacteristic of my area. We do not even have air conditioning so wish me well!
7/01 193.8 Went off course on diet yesterday due to heat. High sodium restaurant carry out since it was too hot to cook or even grill outside. Tons of water due to heat/thirst. I hope this will prove to be mainly water weight. Another hot day coming but I am hoping to do better today with meal planning. I got in 10,762 steps yesterday around the house working. I intermittent fasted 16:8. But otherwise, I pretty much blew it. More self-sabotage in the eating dept. and lots of water which is going nowhere with what I ate. I will be working hard on all this today despite more high 90’s degree weather expected.
7/02 194.6 My son’s birthday so what can I say? I intermittent fasted 16:8. I walked over 13,000 steps. I drank the water, the vinegar and the tea. But my diet was lousy. Binge, Binge. In the evening I came to my senses and started being very careful and I put in the walking. I hope tomorrow will be better.
7/03 191.6 whoosh! Yesssss….. I'm all over the place here but that's to be expected with this heat and water intake. I walked 13,583 steps yesterday walking 5.75 miles including a brisk 50 minute walk for exercise. Intermittent fasted 16:8. Lots of water again. Followed diet pretty carefully. I did have some chocolate at night during a binge attack but I tried to keep it reasonable. I don’t know why I’ve suddenly lost my willpower but I’m working on it. Just glad to see some of that water I’ve been drinking ( because of the heat ) finally release. Ah… There’s hope afterall for this challenge!
7/04 191.8 but a holiday BBQ is coming and I can feel the bloat already! I walked over 10,000 steps yesterday including my brisk 1.5 mile walk in the evening. Clung very well to my diet with little temptation. I was just too hungry to intermittent fast, but otherwise, yesterday was a good day. I know today will not be as sure as I know that I am human. Happy 4th Everyone !!!!

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!
6/28: Weight = 165.4 Well, the scale finally moved a small bit down after 4 days, but not sure it is real. I had to get on and off a couple of times before this number showed up, the numbers were all over the place. I don't want to say it is discouraging, because it just motivates me more to stay committed but it is a bit of a bummer to not see any real progress so far this week. Exercise and food wise, yesterday was right on target. I was right on my calorie goal, hit my macros, went for a short run, completed day 10 of my exercise challenge which was a full body workout. I didn't have any gluten, diet cokes or alcohol & drank plenty of water. I still have a lot of pain in my calves, which I am pretty sure is DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). I know those small muscle tears can retain water, so I am hopping that is the cause of the scale not going down. Today is a yoga day, thankfully! I'm also not going to have the protein powder I started using a couple of days ago, in my diet today. That's the only thing new I've added in this week, so maybe it could be the sneaky culprit
6/29 Weight = 165.4 Ugh!!! So frustrating! I don't think I have every tried to lose weight and had this happen. There had better be a huge Woosh in my future The good news is the DOMS in my calves in lessening, so hopefully the scale will start to move again. Yesterday was a good day food wise, ate according to plan, hit my calories and my macros, IF 16:8, didn't have gluten, diet coke, or alcohol, and had plenty of water. I completed day 11 of my exercise challenge which was yoga and gave my sore legs a bit of a rest. It's hot here today, for the 1st time in a week or so (upper 90's) but still going to try to get a short run in and then do my cardio workout that is scheduled. Heading to the beach early tomorrow morning for a day trip, so will have to be up even earlier to get my workout in. Dreading the swimsuit.
6/30 Weight = 165.8 so that number is back, what a surprise *sarcasm* I bought a new scale yesterday and did a side by side weigh in and was .5 lbs higher on the new scale. This morning's weigh-in in on the new scale, so it would've been 165.3 on the old scale, which would've been a tiny loss. It is what it is. I ran yesterday outside in the hot hot heat, did my day 12 challenge which was cardio blast (jump squats and push ups ladders) and ate within my calories and macros + had a glass and half of red wine. I'm going to up my calories a little bit this upcoming week and see if that shakes anything up on the scale. Will I ever get out of the 165's??????? Headed to the beach now, and will have to really work hard to stay within my goals today food wise. Have a great Saturday everyone!
7/01 Weight = 165.6 (new scale) Had a great day at the beach yesterday! I had a juice smoothie before we left and then tried to make the smartest food choices I could, based on what the options were. Lunch was from a beach shack, so ZERO healthy options. I had a cheeseburger/no bun, just the patty. Dinner was an Italian restaurant so I ordered two appetizers as my main course which were 2 meatballs and sauteed broccoli with garlic. I avoided all beach snacks but did enjoy a Margarita with dinner, made "Italian style" with Amaretto added in, so probably loaded with calories but so delicious after a hot day at the beach. We got home around 9:30 last night but I still made myself complete my day 13 exercise challenge, which was Pilates, so not too strenuous. I definitely didn't drink my usual amount of water yesterday and it is going to be a record high here today, so going to be getting in lots and lots of water today. Happy July everyone!
7/02 Weight = 165.1 YES!!!!!! Thrilled with this number Finally some movement on the scale. My goal for this round was to be in the 163s but that's probably not happening after last week's plateau, I'll just be happy to be out of these horrible 165s. Yesterday was miserably & uncharacteristically hot. I put off doing my workout until later hoping the heat would lessen (we don't have AC downstairs, only window units upstairs in bedrooms) but at 9:30 p.m. it was still 91 degrees/103 with heat index, so I had to bite the bullet and just get it done. So day 14 of my exercise challenge was completed, it was an Upper Body workout. Super hot here again today and the scheduled workout is a Full Body Tabata style, it is going to be hard but I will get it done. Going to get in a lot of water and be super careful of my food choices today, I want to see 165 gone tomorrow when I get in the scale.
7/03 Weight = 164.0 SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!! Good-bye 165's and may I NEVER see you again! Although, this could just be a water weight loss due to all the buckets of sweat that I sweated yesterday in an un-air conditioned house. I completed my day 15 workout at 7 pm in my living room when the temp had finally dropped to about 90 degrees, because who doesn't want to do an intense Tabata workout in a sauna and then immediately went into the even hotter kitchen and cooked dinner, which was a stir-fry, so I had to stand over a hot stove for 15 minutes...madness! Hopefully the loss will stick around, but if it bumps up a little no worries, I 'll get there. My new scale has all these bells and whistles and one is showing body fat percentage and muscle mass. Not sure if these are accurate or not but the body fat number has gone down and the muscle mass is going up. Tomorrow is measurement day, excited to see what if any proof that actual changes are going on.
7/04 Weight = 165.8, so that number is back again. No reason for it except the universe is enjoying messing with me. I ate under calories yesterday, hit my macros, lots of water, went for a run, completed day 16 of my exercise challenge which was an active recovery day with just full body stretches. I did my measurements today and they are definitely smaller across the board then 10 days ago when I was also 165.8, so at least there's that. Just going to ride this out...

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27:158.6 The day was fine, the night time was not. Snacking while watching tv is not good.
6/28:159 Didn't eat much today, hard to when the weather is 115 degrees. Did have 3.5 beers last night but I still managed to stay under my calories. I would not, however, recommend skipping food to have a drink. I am paying for it today, and for a lack of water intake, with a good ole headache, ugh. Tomorrow I want to get more water in.
6/29: 157.1 My daughter has a gymnastics competition today. Instead of counting on eating out and just blowing everything, I have planned a meal and am going to pack a cooler and take it with me. The kids and hubby can then get what they want and I will still stay on track! I am going to do this is time.
6/30: 157.7 So, I didn't manage to avoid the McDonalds last night. My daughters competition finished later than expected and by the time we were headed to eat I was STARVING and had no will power at all. I also had three beers with my husband!! But, I managed to only go 400 calories over, so it wasn't the end of the world.
7/01: 157.7Another not great day. I have realized that I am an all or nothing kind of girl when it comes to alcohol. I think I am just going to have to avoid it for a while if I want to get anywhere with weight loss. Spent today recovering from a hangover and ended up with fast food again and then just eating whatever sounded good.
7/02 157.7 Still not a good day, but I will make tomorrow better.
7/03 157.7 Much better day. Went over calories by 100 but I am ok with that. Had a bit of alcohol again today, which is something that needs to stop right now. Time to get on the dry wagon again. Did my first day of P90x3 and actually really enjoyed it. It was tough but not so tough I couldn't do it. Much better than the times I have tried insanity. While I love Shaun, his workouts are too focused on cardio and not enough on strength.
7/04: 157.3 Already liking this day. Day 2 of P90x3 is on the cards for today. <-- This didn't end up happening and the day turned to not very good. I was tired and grumpy and not in the mood. We ordered pizza and wings, then I had snacks and wine while watching tv. All in all a pretty pathetic day.
7/05 157.7 Paying for yesterday..

Ooof! OK, I've had a fair amount of peanut butter in the last several days, but not like 7,000 calories worth! In fact, I've technically been within my calories all week except Monday.
6/30: 148.5
Not to give TMI, but fiber does a body good, makes quite a difference.
7/01: 148.5
7/02: 148.5
Just hanging in there, logging everything but not doing great on nutrition, calories, water, or exercise. I mean, I've been worse but I've been doing this for 11 months now (this time) and I'm losing momentum.
07/03: 149.5
07/04: 148.0
Expect to be up tomorrow.
