11/4 168.5 Got in 18000 steps yesterday and an extra 500 calorie deficit. This number is more like it.... I knew ending high last round would make this one easier!
11/5 167.5 18000 steps again.
11/6 168 Lots of steps, zumba & body weight exercises. Big deficit yesterday!
11/7 166 Walked, voted and then walked with friends. 17000 steps. So happy to see this number. I hope it sticks instead of bouncing up again!
11/8 165.5 So cool to have it move lower instead of the immediate bounce up! Was all ready to go out and walk this morning despite the threat of rain. And when it started raining as I drove my son to school I figured that was ok. But then when it started pouring and lightening, I decided maybe I should wait. I'm dressed and ready to go! Have a good day everyone!
11/9 165 Woohoo! Walk & elliptical yesterday.

Day/Weight/Comment

11/04: 67.5 - More than expected. Yesterday was a big day. My calorie intake looks ridiculous, but then I did have 4 1/2 hours on the judo mat. Was grading (got 20 points, woop!) and then squad training afterwards. And boy does my body feel it this morning. Everything hurts. And I seem to have gained a couple of interesting bruises (mostly on my shins). Hoping to keep under my burn going forward
11/05: 68.4 - Okay I wasn't expecting that. I mean I was, but not nearly that bad. Yesterday I went to a relative's birthday party, and there was plenty of food all the time (seriously, every time I turned around there were more nibbles, and I do have a problem with nibbles.) Dinner was curries (which I love to pieces), but I picked myself a small bowl and didn't overload it and I was honestly stuffed afterwards so I'm glad I went for the smaller size. Muscles still screaming this morning, so I'm hoping that's the reason for the enormous jump on the scales. I'm certainly feeling a little more puffy than usual, so I'm 90% certain everything is retaining water right now. Ended up slightly over maintenance calories which is annoying as so far this week I would have been in deficit every day, however it wasn't much, even with some fairly generous dinner allowance calories, so I'm still reasonably pleased with the whole situation.
11/06: 66.8 - And there it all goes. YaY! Yesterday was a mixed bag, I spend most of the day so very hungry. Mostly because I just didn't eat enough food in the morning, and then my lunch was laughably small, so I had to eat some chocolate to bump up the calories and kept myself distracted when I got home so I wouldn't want to eat all the food before dinner. Ended up keeping myself under my calorie goal, and then I went and judo-ed in the evening, something I didn't eat back any of the calories for, so my deficit for yesterday was pretty good. However, I'm not hopeful for a great day today as I look to my right and see that somebody in my office made cake and sausage roll. I'm already doing my best to not stare at it. Maybe I'll just try and maintain today and eat my deficit in cake lol.
11/07: 66.9 - *deepest sigh* I ended up over yesterday. Only just, and actually it was around my normal maintaining calories, but I really wasn't feeling 100% so I didn't do as much walking throughout the day, or any exercise in the evening, so my daily burn was much lower than normal. And yes it was all because of that blasted cake and sausage roll. And the worst bit was that it was really good and 100% completely worth the calories. I just wish I hadn't had quite as many slices as I did. But I suppose that's why I wasn't that hungry last night so I guess it's swings and roundabouts. Anyway, will be doing better today, no signs of cake or snacks appearing in the office so should be able to stick to target.
11/08: 66.6 - Another really tough day yesterday. Again I was feel really hungry all day. However, stuck to my guns and stayed mostly within range so ended up with a decent deficit at the end of it all. I am pleased to see that my stubbornness is paying off and I am dropping that weigh that's been lurking around.
11/09: 66.5 - Now if my weight could just pause there until the end of the round that would be grand. Hahaha, like that's going to happen. Anyway, another good day yesterday eating-wise. Stuck under my target deficit and even banked a few extra calories by finally donning the running shoes and going for a run. I think my pup very much enjoyed the run around the neighbourhood (he loves to run), but he pushed me hard. And has yet to learn not to run right in front of my feet, so there was a couple of times I almost tripped up on him. However, I'm hoping to get out again tonight in a vague attempt to wear him out and burn those few more calories that bring my average up. That, and I really want chips for lunch, and these rarely fit into my goals, so I'll have to work something out to bring my burn up.

11/10: 66.9 - Not at all surprised by that one. I'm blaming all those chips. Being that I wanted chips, so I has some for lunch. Aaaaand then I also has pie and chips for dinner. However I did go for a run (and to go out and buy the chips) which is the longest run I've done for some time. I looped around one bit twice because I was feeling good, and had I not been hungry I might have looped around a third time. Looks like I might need to find myself a slightly longer loop. And I paced myself so much better than Thursday. Still very slow going, but I'm so happy to actually be getting out there and going for a run. Food ended up over, but with the run (and some extra walking throughout the day) I've ended up with a very nice deficit.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 65.1 kg (143.5 lbs.).
11/05 - 66.2 kg (145.9 lbs.). +2 kg over a weekend, logical result of 3000+kcal yesterday. Jillian Michaels in the morning. Plan for today: 3km walk during the lunch break and Jillian Michaels in the evening. Hope these 2 kg will disappear in a couple of days
11/06 - 65.2 kg (143.7 lbs.). -1 kg. 7km run in the morning. Planning to do “six-pack in 6 weeks” in the evening. Want to see my 64 kg again asap.
11/07 - 65.0 kg (143.3 lbs.).
11/08 - 64.6 kg (142.4 lbs.). Did “six-pack in 6 weeks” yesterday evening. 7km run in the morning.
11/09 - 64.2 kg (141.5 lbs.). Jillian Michaels in the morning + 10 min AB ATTACK with Shaun T.
11/10 - 63.7 kg (140.4 lbs.). SO HAPPY!!! I’ve never seen this figure on my scales. May be I was in this weight at the time we didn’t have scales at home. I have my menu for the weekend. And I will keep to it. I even squeezed in a couple of non-alcoholic beers (thanks’ God in Germany even non-alcoholic beer tastes) and a glass of wine for Sunday. And I am planning a big “freestyle” for today (a kind of intervals – walking + running) although the weather is not great. But it is only a matter of right clothes! LOOK FOLL! THINK BEFORE EATING SOMETHING THAT SEEING YOUR SCALES SLAP-HAPPY CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH A PIECE OF CAKE. This I wrote for myself in the first place. Svetlana be consistent!

@AR10at50 Great job keeping the scale steady at your quilting retreat! You should post pictures of what you worked on!!

@deepwoodslady -- I do Chinese, Indian, Mongolian on low carb...I just pick the meaty (non-fried) options and skip the rice. It used to bother me to not have the rice, but now I like it! I also look for the loaded salads, with all the avocado, egg, cheese, bacon! I actually find eating out low carb slightly easier than eating out low calorie, because you can choose those decadent fatty things. Sometimes you can even ask them to sub in a vegetable for the rice, which is even better! On the happy side...congratulations for sticking to all those good choices when you are at home!

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.
11/09 - Friday - 177.8 - Ate lunch out yesterday - chose a shrimp burger and a green side salad! Skipped appetizer, skipped dessert! Still felt heavy from "lighter" dining out choices so we had raviolis for dinner instead of the planned chicken fried steak. I managed to bring breakfast and pack lunch despite wanting to do otherwise. Dog is off to daycare today and already got her toe nails trimmed. It's Friday and I'm feeling good! Want to stay on track this weekend - also want to order out tonight - haha forever searching for that balance. But thats why I packed breakfast and lunch - I know I struggle on Friday nights, and usually when I don't statisfy a Friday craving - it turns into a weekend long snack search for what I really wanted. So 80/20 rule is in full effect this weekend! Happy Friday everybody!
11/10 Saturday - 178.2 - pretty sure i have swimmers ear. Did some comfort eating because of it last night. Need to make it thru the weekend and making a doctors appointment first thing Monday. Off to pick up the wood stove today. I'll eat my smoothie before i leave, and drink water! Need to take care of myself so i dont feel worse!
