Mini Challenge
8/11/18
Tracking = Yes
Calories = Yes, Calorie Deficit= 750
EX = BWE + 2553 steps (Office again, boooooo)
Day = Got up late and grabbed packaged low calorie, high protein stuff. There was pizza at work and I simply couldn't resist (Roquefort, plum and red onion = divine!!) but stayed sensible on calories and didn't have my afternoon snack. Lovely filling dinner and I have a small snack prepared for later. Didn't do too well on water today but did have more fruit than yesterday. I will smash the water tonight after BWE. Tomorrow morning is weigh in! Excited and scared (have an exam too
). 2 -

@xr8_kiwi
You’re crushing it with some great losses. What are your current diet and exercise details? Deficit goal, etc..
Thanks @mike2g and @HASWLRS
I have been following a keto food plan since signing up for the October challenge, I worked a bit harder this week after a bad few days at the start of last week, resulting in no loss....I use MFP to log meals, keep under my calories and follow my macros closely. I usually have 300-400 calories left over each day.
For exercise, it's usually a road walk for 20/30 mins, but it doesnt happen as often as I'd like, as we work long hours on the farm, also having just come through the busiest period of spring/calving.
So once things slow down a bit more, will try to up my walks. I would love to join a gym, but living rurally it's a bit of a drive to get there.
This challenge group has been awesome for keeping me on track and accountable. I also belong to a local keto group on Facebook, where there are a lot of meal ideas, successes etc and I pick up a lot of tips there.
Edited to add; I wish I had of taken my measurements before starting.2 -
Hi all. Tomorrow is weigh in and I'm worried. I have been eating much healthier this week and exercised as much as time permitted but I am afraid I didn't lose much. Plus tonight, it's my sister birthday and she chose a Japanese steakhouse. All that sodium might make me retain water. sigh...it is what it is. fingers crossed for some weight loss tomorrow.3

That's awesome, I have been wanting to stick keto, made it day 2 six times and quit. lol it's hard without bread or rice in my culture.1 -

Like you said...it is what it is!! If your weight goes up from sodium, it will come down with lots of water!! You said you are eating healthier, but do you know how much you are eating? Are you weighing and measuring your food? Some people can lose weight just by making good healthy choices and knowing what reasonable servings look like. Most, however, will be shocked at how many calories they really are eating, healthy or not, if they are not weighing and measuring their food. Just a word of caution!1 -

This. Every single weigh in I’m terrified. Super lame to have such an emotional morning once a week, but it is what it is. Until that number gets down and the number of NSVs increase, I’m sure I’ll feel that anxiety.
Especially weeks I didn’t hit the exercise hard, I’m terrified. This would be one of those weeks for me. I did stick to calories and healthy choices so I know I did the best I could with food. If the scale is off, I know it’s all about the less intense exercise I did this week.
Basically as long as you’re doing the best you can, then that’s all that matters. Look for areas to improve and improve them. Then look forward to the weight loss trending down over the long haul.

Sounds like your secret to success is sticking to the basics and being consistent. You must stay pretty busy being on the farm. Sounds like quite the experience!
I completely regret not taking measurements as well. Never too late. I still haven’t done mine but maybe tomorrow I will for the first time. I’m only half way to my goal so I’m sure there’s plenty left to change

MINI CHALLENGE
DATE: Thursday, November 8, 2018
Logged food: Yes
Under calories: Yes
Exercise: No -
had a crick in my neck causing problems all week so my exercise has been basic walking. Didn’t get to do that today, so sad. It is interesting how hungry I am on days I don’t workout intensely. I barely make calories on no exercise days while the days I hit the gym hard I’m easily in range (without eating any exercise calories back) 0 -

That sounds so backwards, doesn't it? I have heard of people being extra hungry the day after an intense workout....does that just happen to coincide with your rest days? Sorry about your sore neck.1 -

Totally sounds backwards to me too. My non intense days do tend to follow intense days but this week it seems like it is mostly emotional eating issues (I think). Maybe the rest of time it’s like you said, the day after intense exercise hunger.1 -

Friday weigh in
Last week 160.6
Today 160
@HASWLRS I leave for vacation tonight. Not sure how much internet access I will have but no scale for sure. Can I roll over my weight from this week , next week ? TIA
Absolutely!! Enjoy your vacation, and I will transfer your weight over until you return!! You are picking a good week to get away. Not sure what part of Ontario you are from, but there is snow on the ground here this morning!! I was shocked to see it; said a few expletives actually!! Nice loss this week, by the way!1 -

Cool and unexpected....kind of like the snow this morning!! I still can't believe it, but I can believe that you dropped ~ 4 pounds this week. You work hard, and you eat at a deficit daily!! Well done!!2 -

Nice loss!! We didn't hear from you last week, so I am glad you are still with us! So glad to hear you are "feeling it" again after your Florida vacation and then after your flu!! Good job on finding alternate ways to exercise when there is no time for the gym!! Have fun this weekend, but not too much fun! We want you out of the ten's for next weigh-in!!2
