JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 58

Female, 35
Height - 175cm (which I guess is 5'8)
SW: 87.5 kg (192.9 lbs)
TW: 70 kg (154 lbs)

Round 57 (1) - SW: 87.5 EW: 86.6 (-0.9kg)

Daily goals:
Tracking ALL I eat, calorie limit min 1500 max 1800 kCal per day.
Sport - 3 trainings per week, at least 7000 steps each day.
Take at least one photo of me per week (I really dislike my photos currently, so it might be a good additional motivation to improve the situation).

04/11: DNW
05/11: 87.8 kg (+1,2 kg) - Apparently weekend didn’t do any good to my weight, although I didn’t eat as much as it previously was during weekends. Have to be way more strict in the future.
07/11: 86.7 kg (-1.1 kg) - Status yesterday: Calories OK, BodyPump done, more than 7000 steps done
08/11: 86.1 kg (-0.6 kg) - Status yesterday: Calories so so (1900), more than 7000 steps done
09/11: 85.6 kg (-0.5 kg) - Status yesterday: Calories OK, Pilates training done, step count - only about 5200, which is for sure not enough.

05/11 Had a relatively active weekend, not so many steps but plenty of strength training and rowing, calorie intake was under maintenance. Goals for today get out for a run this evening unless the weather is really bad, if it is really bad use the eliptical at home instead and stick to my calories [/b]

06/11 Got out for my run, calories were exactly spot on (never happens) so goals smashed yesterday. Goal today is to stick to calories again and get a lower body weights session in.

07/11 Left a little room in my calories for attending a work dinner this evening as it's normally 3 courses & wine and got my lower body weights in. Goal for today is to enjoy rest day.

08/11 Overestimated my calories severely for yesterday's dinner so looks far worse than it was but still has me at around average 300 cal deficit per day over the week if I keep at my calorie allowance the rest of the week. Today's goal is to get upper body weight in - although this will depend on how my shoulder feels later as slept funny on it, if it's not great I will just do it tomorrow after work instead and also calories to be on target today

Hi all! I'm going to give this another try. Was here a while ago for a few rounds but gave up because I kept losing and gaining the same 5lbs. I should have stayed because now I've kept those 5lbs on and added a few more 🙁


Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 258.8...not happy to be up to this again but it is what it is. Starting back on plan today, and no more excuses.
11/05 - 257.8...stayed under calories, 45 mins of exercise..gave a beginner's yoga YouTube video a try and learned that I'm super tight and not flexible at all! 100oz of water and no soda..I've decided to cut it out entirely.
11/06 - 255.8...stayed on plan, 30min walk and 100oz of water. Glad to know that some of my gain was water weight!
11/07 - 253.4..yay! So actually most of it was water weight 😀
11/08 - 251.2...surprised to see this number already, I'm sure I will probably stick around here for a couple of days. Very happy with it though.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 177.2 My body seems to like this number, even if I don’t. Yesterday I felt so strong and capable and that made sticking to plan and getting in my steps very easy. I am starting today also feeling strong and confident so I’m hoping I can get through all those inevitable temptations. Tomorrow is a different story. I will be traveling out of town to celebrate my daughter’s 24th birthday with a movie, a restaurant and some shopping. I will stick to plan before and after the excursion but I will ultimately enjoy the middle as we celebrate. I will try not to go overboard, but carbs add up quickly. I will be bringing home fresh parsley, cucumber and lemons for the “triple threat” concoction to offset any water bloat from the birthday lunch.
11/05 - 177.2 Great day again yesterday. Stayed with plan yet no budge on the scales. Ugg. Travel today a couple of hours away to a real Mall (that is a luxury for me!) Lots of things to experience today. I will be off plan but I will try to be reasonable. Have a great week everyone!
11/06 -179.0 Enjoyed the trip but stayed way longer than expected due to shopping. Multiple restaurant meals. The only NSV was that I managed to skip some pretty tempting desserts and just stick to meals. The movie “A Star is Born” was very good. I saw the remake in the 1970’s and it is a bit different. Lady Gaga is a phenomenal actress! And who thought she could only sing and play the piano? Bradley Cooper was excellent, as usual. I loved my time with my daughter. Since she had the baby last fall, we have not got to get away very often for fun out-of-town things. It was very nice. Tomorrow and Thursday is more travel. This is going to be a very bad round for me. I’m going to have to try to do my best but it won’t be good.
11/07 - 178.6 Was at home yesterday so I have a loss this morning. I do well at home sticking to my plan. My exercise has been way down in the past month since the cold. With no livingroom (renovation continues) I only have my work movement. That is a lot, but not continual like exercise. I hope to get moving again soon, even if it’s just marching in place I will be leaving in a few for another out of town trip to find a home depot and order carpet installation and utility room flooring. Have a great hump day everyone!
11/08 - 179.6 Ugg. However, I found my carpet and ordered the in home measuring. Also found the flooring for the utility room. Home depot has free installation right now. On the diet front:.... The Chinese food from yesterday is likely retaining water. More travel today for the injections in my head for the hair loss. About 100 miles each way from home. I will work on the bloat tomorrow after a brief trip (about 30 miles each way) to the vet clinic with my 18 ½ yr old kitty tomorrow. She has a bad cold and it’s time for a senior check-up anyway. It will be nice to be home when all of this is done!

11/4 - 146.5 - We had family over for dinner last night and I definitely ate over maintenance. It will probably show up tomorrow.
11/5 - 148 - Here's the mulled wine, spinach lasagna, meatball, caprese salad, garlic bread...and a small slice of carrot cake from Saturday. Although I don't regret the food and wine from Saturday, I'm so glad I'm aware enough now to not eat like that every weekend.
11/6 - 147 - Glad to see some of the gain was from sodium. I took the day off work today for a medical test later this morning. I dropped off our new dog for training/doggie day care today and then I stopped and voted. I can tell the anxiety for the upcoming test is making me want to snack while I wait to go in. I'll be good though, snacking is not going to change anything but my weight.
11/7 - 147 - All things considered I did well with my eating yesterday, but not much movement. Back to work today and getting my steps in.
11/8 - 148 - Ouch, that Saturday meal is really going to haunt me this week. I've been eating well and got my steps and water in yesterday, so I know this will eventually drop again.

Back again! Just noticed yesterday (goal date) I was under my second short term goal weight despite the slight stall - so even though I've felt really "behind" in my journey I think I've found my patience again and I'm happy where I'm at.

11/04 - Sunday - 179.6 - NSV on Saturday - went to moms to clean and help her unpack. She wanted to order from the pizza place (she has healthy habits so tends to use me as an excuse to "celebrate") but I said no thanks and had tuna and a salad! Then on Sunday - daylight savings morning was slow, lazy, and snuggly and I loved it. Went out running errands in the afternoon. Started a pot roast and headed out to clean up the yard. DH used to leaf blower, I raked up big piles, and we moved the tarp together for about 2 hours, but about 1 hour of active raking. I didnt eat enough protein in the day so I was super snacky after dinner but I managed to reign it in.
11/05 - Monday - 179.2 - A loss on a Monday?!!!?! Look what happens when I stay accountable on the weekends! Woohoo! Need to pick up a short list of things at the store before heading home after work. Milk, coffee, and shampoo. I want to make a crustless quiche tonight for breakfasts for the week, we got some yummy ham at the farm. Fish oil habit is coming back around and I started taking elderberry extract as everyone is sick! 10 minutes of yoga is also turning into a habit! Feels good to take care of myself!
11/06 - Tuesday - 179.4 - Munchies hit me last night but I did a decent job managing with just 6 chips and a fruit leather. I filled half my plate with broccoli at dinner and tried to fill up on that because I knew I was starving but didnt want to binge on pasta - needed more protein though which was apparent when the munchies hit me at like 8:30 - all good things to learn from though. Busy at work - reminding myself that I do better is most aspects of my life with MORE STRUCTURE. That includes work, health, finances, relationships. My morning habits are becoming solid again, I made sure to hang up all laundry last night, I've got several dinners ready to go, stress management has been improving - I'm finding my rhythm again!
11/07 - Wednesday - 178.6 - Feeling great! Saw a quote, "Non attachment is self love" speaking in regards to our ever changing body. Especially as women. I'm on this journey to better health, but I'm trying to love my body at every stage. I think for me, it's a huge part of this process, to learn healthy body image and self love. I've come a long way - I'm appreciating that my body is strong, gets me through each day relatively pain free, allows me mobility to do, go, see, be whatever I want to be! And the end goal being to get pregnant, I'm really trying to wrap my mind around "non-attachment as self love" because this body of mine is going to be changing thru many seasons and I want to love and appreciate all of those stages, not just an end result.
11/08 - Thursday - 177.8 - Wooooh! Wrapping my head around these 170's is a trip! I slipped on my newer size 10 jeans this morning after their first wash and dry thinking they would be snug but they were not! I saw myself in the mirror and did a double take. I checked out my weekly stats on the app yesterday and noticed how much a difference CONSISTENCY makes for me. I'm losing consistently because my calories, macros, and habits have all been consistent for the first time since middle of August basically. It looked like I held on to my habits for dear life thru the move, but then got confused while settling in and lost touch with that idea of consisitency - my days were high cal then very low cal on repeat - like a binge and restrict on a smaller scale but definitely being mindful of that behavior so I can pick up on it quicker in the future. I'm starting to feel like a healthy person! My mini mini goal is to be 175 by thanksgiving.
