I would like to be at the bottom of the 150’s by the end of this round. Starting weight is 155. Would like to be 153.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 157.5 went up 2 pounds. Uuugghh! I knew it was going to be up. Yesterday I stepped on the scale and saw 155 for the first time. Officially down 20 pounds, so I overindulged and treated myself with a lot of food and a couple of beers. My biggest problem is I love to celebrate anything and everything with food and beer. Lol, had an amazing dinner with my hubby and probably had 1 to many drinks. Well worth it, no regrets, but trying to learn how to balance my celebrating. Drinking lots of water and back on track today. I’m sure it will be back down by tomorrow or the next day.
11/05 - 157.0 still up 2 pounds from Saturday, but the weekends are the hardest for me. Had a couple beers last night watching the game with my husband and pretty much just lounged all day. It was actually a very nice day. For some reason the older kids were home and decided to hang out and watch tv with us for most of it. Very unusual that they are home on the weekends. They wanted to order pizza, so we agreed. I had one piece and ate a salad. Drinking lots of water today and will stay in calories. Being at work really helps me stay on routine. Hopefully tomorrow I will see 155 again!
11/06 - 156.3 So back to Fridays weight, almost Saturdays weight. Did well last night, made teriyaki chicken and rice for the family. Put the chicken on a salad for myself and only had a couple of bites of rice while making the kids plates. Lots of water and no alcohol. Hopefully tomorrow I see that 155 again.
11/07 - 155.6 Nice! Back to Saturdays weight, lol. Forever bouncing around. Still down a pound for this month. Made great food choices last night and had plenty of water. Hubby's bday today, so hopefully we will celebrate with me choosing to eat a salad for dinner and not having to many glasses of beer. We will be off for the next 4 days, so wish me luck!
11/08 - 155.6 No change which was good. Got through my husband's birthday dinner with all the kids and survived with my salad. Did have a margarita that I was concerned about, but I guess didn't affect me. Still trying to get used to having my son bring his girlfriend with him to dinner. They were talking about moving in together after they get through this first year of college, which weirds me out, but trying to let them make their own adult decisions. Uuuuggg, I thought after they moved out this parenting thing would get easier, lol. On a good note, the husband and I are leaving for a mini vaca tonight and aren't taking any of the kids. Will be back Sunday. Hopefully I don't completely ruin my diet.
11/09 - out of town
11/10 - out of town
11/11 - out of town
11/12 - 159.8 Uuuugggh!! So sad, how did I gain 4 pounds in the last 4 days. Hopefully most of it is water, sodium, and carbs weight that will come off. I don't think I am making my goal this time. My husband and I went out of town for his birthday (first time without any of the kids in forever), so it is what it is. We drank, ate, and had a blast. A much needed getaway for both of us. I knew when I ate that entire bowl of spinach dip and chips with my beer at the airport I was going to be hating the scale this morning, lol. I may end with a gain this time around, but it should be gone by next round and I will start over. Thought I would be in the 140's by now, but it is taking longer than I thought.
11/13 - 157.0 Was under calories yesterday, drank lots of water, and did all my steps. I knew most of it would come off, but I've never dropped that much overnight. Hopefully the rest will be off by Thursday and I can start again. Lol, so my overall for this round up 2 pounds. On to the next one, hopefully I will get under 155!

Round 58
11/04 150 time for me to start taking this more serious especially on the days that I do not have a gathering because with the holidays coming up there will be a ton of temptations. Also need to do it for my body, I just feel yucky lately and I know it's the foods.
11/05 150 Went over yesterday on all my macros and didn't get enough exercise in. Gonna be a better day today:)
11/06 150 Yesterday was a much better day . Stayed under on my macros but did end up eating back half of my exercise calories.
11/07 149.5 yay now lets not creep back up this round . LNS got me last night, and I creeped into the candy lol. Had fun size pieces, but those calories add up too!
11/08 149 getting lots of exercise in and water today because I didn't eat so great for lunch today.
11/09 149 I did stay out of sugary candies yesterday so only ate half my daily sugar intake, which is great for me. I can't believe Thanksgiving is here in 2 weeks! This year really has flown.
11/10 149 Forgot to post
11/11 149 Holding steady. I really want to try a meal plan to stick to. Currently I have added breads back into my diet. As of today, cutting the bread out again. Also, thinking of doing either the Whole 30 plan or keto starting 2019. Both would be difficult for me mainly because I love fruits which I can have on whole 30 but I can't have dairy such as yogurt. On keto I can't have fruits, and I love my fruits. Hmm.
11/12 148.5 Awesome . Happy to see the cereal craving didn't ruin my day yesterday.
11/13 148 Great day yesterday, ate mostly clean but didn't get any green veggies in like I wanted. I had breakfast for dinner and almost made myself a waffle, then I reminded myself "no bread". The next 10 days might be a little challenging because we are going to 3 different places to celebrate Thanksgiving. The first one is this Sunday. My plan is to eat healthy every meal except for those 3 meals. See you all next round!6 -
@tiabirdie56 prayers for you and your family ❤. I am just catching up to all the posts from yesterday4

Round 58: My 2nd Round
F/23/5’3’’/OSW 59kg/RSW 58.2kg
Round 57 : -0.5kg
11/4 – 58.2kg Worked out for an hour in the gym yesterday morning and even today morning.
11/5 - 58.5kg (+0.3kg) Was very much expecting this to happen…ate a lot of junk food yesterday way lot more than my calorie limit…this is what happens to me every Sunday! I hate it but can’t help it…went to gym in the morning today and will be very particular about what I eat today.
11/6 - 57.8kg (-0.7kg) Wow!!! I was expecting it to go down but not to this extent!!! I am so excited about this…I was really very careful about what I ate and stayed within calorie limit and spent some extra time in the gym…should not let go of all this hard work by just binging on junk…
11/7 - 57.9kg (+0.1kg) Food and exercise everything was good yesterday…but today I might eat a lot, have parties to attend that means lot of food…cheat day today!!
11/8 - 58.1kg (+0.2kg) For all the food that I ate yesterday 200grams gain is not a lot. Now that I have had enough food yesterday, today is going to be a clean food day!
11/9 - 58.2kg (+0.1kg) I couldn’t stop myself from eating all the oily yet yummy food prepared by my roommates for dinner yesterday, will have to spend some extra time in the gym today…very disappointed with my eating habits in this round and really scared about the weekend binge!
11/10 - 57.7kg (-0.5kg) the effect of eating one banana for breakfast and 2 oranges for lunch and chicken nuggets with fries for dinner! And also lifting weights in the gym!
11/11 - 57.8kg (+0.1kg) I really started to enjoy lifting weights in the gym and I can also see the positive effects of it! Glad I started this.
11/12 - 58.0kg (+0.2kg) It was Sunday yesterday can’t help!
11/13 – 58.0kg Couldn’t meet my target in this round ☹ I couldn’t cut down on my junk eating habits.
This round : 58.2 - 58.0 = 0.2 kg loss

I’ve only been maintaining but hoping to break down into the 170s for this round! Temptations will not do me in for this round!
11/6 180.8 I’m getting so close to that 179 mark I can taste it! Total lost so far is 7lbs and it amazes me how much better I feel only 7lbs lighter. Looking forward to adding on to that number! 👍
11/7 180.6 I bet this number would be better if I hadn’t had a couple of Halloween candy yesterday. Oh well, it’s a marathon and at least heading in the right direction.
11/8 180.4 and seems like I’m starting a .2 loss per day trend! Tonight I’m making an Irish themed dinner. I’ve decided on vegetable and potato soup and Irish brown bread. I just hope with all those carbs I won’t go up.
11/9 180.2 I’m not making this up guys, I’ve been going down.2 everyday this round! I worked out this morning and going to restorative yoga tonight. Hopefully I can keep up this .2 lose throughout the weekend!

11/12 181.6 up 1.4 soooooo, this is what happens to me A.over a weekend full of too many get togethers and B.not weighing in daily. Once again, I do know myself and if I don’t allow myself these weekend indulgences I will never get back on the Monday wagon. So, here I am, on the Monday wagon and ready to chug along!
11/13 180.2 Yay! I’m back to where I was before the weekend got the best of me. I have a super busy week ahead so I’m expecting to have a big loss over the next five days.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 205.6. So happy with this number. Weekends are normally so tough for me but I really tried to treat it like a normal weekday and it has worked so far. Planning to do the same today.
11/05 - 206.8. Ate late last night plus a bunch of junky Food through the day. Lazy Sunday’s are not always good for me. Back on track today.
11/06 - 206.6. Have to drink more water today. Was so busy at work I didn’t get enough in.
11/07 - 205.8. More water and steps today.
11/08 - 206.2
11/09 - 205.8. Need to stay in track over the weekend to really make a difference. Weekends are always a challenge for me.
11/10 - 206.6
11/11 - didn’t weigh in
11/12 - 207.6 - not sure I will recover from the weekend to post a lost for this round but I’m going to try my best. My real problem is the weekends. This my next habit I’m going to try and improve on - treating weekends like every day during the week.
11/13 - 206.2. Unfortunately I’m not posting an overall loss this round but I’m still down from when I joined this amazing challenge group. Celebrate the small things, right?
But you’re doing much better overall, don’t you think, Jen? I think you are more controlled. Now to just keep weekends more in check and you’ll be knocking on the 190’s in no time! I’m planning you a party!3 -

Round 58 - SW 175.6, EW - 174 down 1.6 — I can‘t believe I finished all 10-days!!HW: 213
LW: 148
CW: 175
UGW: 150-155
I was heaviest in late 90‘s/early 2000‘s, when I couldn‘t tie my shoes or walk around the little league field without losing my breath, it was time to change.
Lost 65 pounds over several years w/WW, SparkPeople, Beck Diet Solution (life changing!!!), MFP, Body for Life (and many more fitness books) and tracking diligently and working out. Became passionate about fitness and earned my trainer certification.
Fittest in 2009/2010/2011. Then a few years of curve balls: donated a kidney to my husband, had hip surgery, gained 10#, cared for my husband and lost him, moved half-way across the country with my job, job sucked (60-80-100 hour weeks), gained 20#, bought a house, found a new job last year, lost 10#.
Time to lose 10 or 20 more and have fun with fitness again... If you‘ve read this far, thanks for indulging my rambling...
Commitment for 10 days:
1 - track every day... I’ll log calories/macros here to keep me honest (gulp!)
2 - working out: No more pushing until after the virus — new goal: 30’ of something/anything every daytwo red and two amber sessions...
I use the HeartWatch app and it’s colors for level of intensity are:
....... warmup/health
....... fat burn
....... building fitness
....... high intensity workouts
...Doing dates upside down so I keep the end in sight...
Date ** Weight ** Nutrition ** Exercise
T 11/13 - what will i weigh if i track and workout consistently? how will i feel?!?!. The consistency feels great — overall, I‘m eating much better and moving and wanting to move and wanting to eat well! Win, win, win... 10-days done and it‘s been a fresh start! :-)
DANG! Forgot to weigh in today of all days!!! Dang, dang, dang...
I‘m going to guess that I would have bounced up at least a pound and call it 174... ** 2167 46/23/31 ** 30‘ walk with the dog
M 11/12 172.8 ** 1934 (oops!) 47/21/32 ** walked the dog a couple times for a total of 45‘, still fighting a cold, time for a good night‘s sleep...
S 11/11 175.2
S 11/10 174.8 ** 1767 44/21/35 ** easy walk with the dog and heavy house cleaning.... Mostly in the warmup/health range, some in the fat burning range. But given that I‘m all stuffed up w/minimal energy, I‘ll take it :-). Without this challenge, I‘d have given up and laid on the couch. With this challenge, I‘m closing my apple activity rings every day, despite having a cold. And I‘m still tracking and I‘m eating better... I‘ll take it...
F 11/09 174.4 ** 1722 53/21/26 ** 30’ walk with the dog wow - thought i was taking it easy - the body truly does work harder when there‘s a virus in play too!! Also some light house cleaning and lots of couch time to rest... BONUS — I was still able to close all my apple-watch-fitness rings even being sick - woohoo!! I‘m still on track for closing them every day in November
T 11/08 176 ** 1741 50/22/28 ** rolling & stretching, walking the dog. Needed a good restorative workout after yesterday’s dorky class left me oddly sore. Gotta revise my warm up for next Wednesday’s class...
Revived an old habit — tracking my food before the day starts so I know I‘m on track... ended with better results for calories and macros - now we‘ll see what the scale says tomorrow...
W 11/07 175.6 ** 1856 48/20/32 core workout class
Glad to see the scale drop today - must have been sodium yesterday... New workout class this morning - sort of dorky but I’ll stick with it for 6 weeks - it will be good for me, lol... and it was a good workout after all :-)
T 11/06 177.0 ** 1599 46/23/31 ** power cleaned the house and walked the dog
UGH!! Up 1.6 this morning - yikes... good motivation to eat cleaner and stick to the calories and macros...
M 11/05 175.4 ** 2183 42/19/39 ** rehab and walked the dog
S 11/04 175.6 ** 1891 47/21/32 ** circuit training class :-)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 193.9 Bloating is awful.
11/05 191.5. I’m happy, but I don’t think this number will stick. It’ll probably go up to 192.x, hover there, and then come down again.
11/06 190. I think this is a woosh, or my body actively trolling me. “You think I’m going to regain that water weight? Well then I’m gonna drop another pound and a half! Deal with it!” I’m happy, but I’m also kind of in shock lol.
11/07 191.3. Knew yesterday’s weight was too good to be true. Oh well. This number is nice too.
11/08 191.3.
11/09 193. Overate yesterday, but most of this water weight I think. Will try to drink a lot of water today and get in a good sweat session.
11/10 192.8 forgot to update.
11/11 191! I had about 300 calories left last night, but listened to my body and decided that I wasn’t hungry. I probably wouldn’t have eaten very well if I did eat something. I tend to mindlessly munch at night.
11/12 192.1
11/13 191.5! A nice number to end the round on. I was really bad at checking in this round, so next time I’ll do better. Also, as a NSV, I bought a pretty red mini dress yesterday, and I’ve gone down a size! It’s so pretty, but also definitely mini. I’m pretty short and it doesn’t reach my fingertips. https://ardene.com/ca/en/sleeveless-lace-mini-dress/37428AD-R2-9A.html?dwvar_37428AD-R2-9A_color=9A-AP00286&cgid=1-10-Party#start=1

11/05 276.6 (-0.0)
11/06 277.8 (+1.2) Not surprised by this with how I ate yesterday. But I tracked it all, so that's a victory.
11/07 276.6 (-1.2)
11/08 276.2 (-0.4) My mom has been visiting... I'm surprised that I'm down at all today. I will be happy if I can finish this round without gaining.
11/09 276.4 (+0.2)
11/10 no scale - spent the night at Mom's house
11/11 277.6 (+1.2) got home yesterday and the heat was broken, and it was only 59 degrees in the house. Ate far too many cookies than I want to admit from the stress.
11/12 276.8 (-0.8)
11/13 276.2 (-0.6)
Down 1.6 pounds total this round.
I didn't do very good posting my results daily, but I have been keeping track. It was a rough week, with hubby out of town and me taking care of the 2 little ones. Then my mom came to visit to "help", which really didn't help much at all. Then our heat broke when it was below freezing. So, all in all, I'm very pleased that I didn't throw in the towel after a rough week and that I'm back on track.4 -
I'm back! I went to a naturopath and feel much better. She gave me some digestive enzymes, just to help with the uncomfortable and heavy feeling I've been having lately and the enzymes are definitely helping. I am waiting for the results of the food allergy test and when those results come back in a couple of weeks, I am going to go over the results with the nutritionist and make a game plan on what to do. I am also going to see my PCP this Friday just to make sure there isn't anything more, but based on the fact I am starting to feel better with the enzymes I definitely believe there are food allergy/sensitivity issues.
11/4--218.4 Joined the gym last week and started Strong Curves. Went to the gym this morning and did W4D2 of c25k yesterday. Going out to dinner tonight and then taking my MIL to see Joan Baez in concert. My MIL loves Joan Baez.
11/5--220.6 Water weight from dinner and lack of water. Will probably show up again tomorrow as I took my MIL out for breakfast and did not drink a lot of water today. I will be travelling for a presentation tomorrow, so my schedule will be out of whack for another day. Even though it was my day off today, I got up early and went to the gym.
11/6--220.4 Will be going out for lunch today. Goal today is to get water in.
11/7--220.9 The last of my days where I am eating out. Today I'm back on track and getting my water in. Yoga tonight.
11/8--220.6 Woke up 45 minutes earlier this morning and went to the gym before work. Felt bloated and heavy all day yesterday and still feeling a little bloated this morning. I forgot to take my digestive enzymes at lunch yesterday and I forgot to bring them with me to work today again, ugh.
11/9--220.0 Happy hour/good-bye party tonight for co-worker who is leaving. Plan is to drink a lot of water today and eat lighter for the rest of the day to limit the amount of damage tonight.
11/10--220.9 Had a little too much to drink last night and feeling it this morning. Other than a walk with the dog will definitely be taking it easy today. Went to my PCP yesterday and she didn't find anything wrong with my gallblader, liver, or pancreas. She did find that my large intestines were a little distended, but she was not surprised on that based on my bloated/fullness symptoms. She agreed that my symptoms are most likely food related and agreed with working with the naturopath/nutrtionist on possible food allergies, so that was reassuring.
11/11--220.0
11/12--220.0 Forgot to post yesterday. Stomach is feeling weird again today. I'm being more conscious of how I feel after eating certain foods and I think I'm starting to figure some things out about how what foods are affecting me, but until I get the results of my allergy test it's still hit or miss.
11/13--219.3 This is from not eating a lot because my stomach was bothering me yesterday, so there will probably be a bump up tomorrow.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

I derailed myself last year undoing a lot of good work. After a long absence from myfitnesspal I am back on track. This 10 day challenge seems like something I can do. I joined with Round 57. This is my 2nd consecutive round.
Age: 59
Sex: M
Height: 5ft 10 1/2"
HW: 313 lbs (reached twice, sad to say)
Pre-challenge SW: 313 lbs (started back at myfitnesspal Oct 1st. Down 15 lbs in the 3 weeks prior to round 57)
SW for the round 57 challenge: 298 lbs (I have a photo to prove it, I'll take a new one at the start of every week)
GW sometime in 2020: 195 lbs (several beautiful Italian double-breasted suits await me)
Round 58
SW for this round: 295 lbs
GW for this round: 291 lbs (drop 4 lbs)
Day 01. 11/04 295 lbs
Day 02. 11/05 297 lbs (up 2 lbs). I had a customer computer emergency day. An electrician was out at a store and managed to short the power to the local Linux server. Which would then not reboot. I would up pulling an all-nighter to recover the server and replace it with an old machine while a new unit is configured, licensed and installed later this week. No sleep 'til Hammersmith (4 hours after I got home at 8:45am but I feel like I had none). Way too much caffeine. Some less than stellar eating options. Draw a line and start again, recognizing that my goal of down 4 lbs this challenge might now be our of reach.
Day 03. 11/06 296 lbs. Back on track today.
Day 04. 11/07 296 lbs. No change. But on a plus, my blood pressure is down a couple of points. And my measurements have shrunk a bit overall. Yay! So maybe that means a weight loss tomorrow? (One must think positively).
Day 05. 11/08 295.5 lbs. A small loss but I'll take it.
Day 06. 11/09 offline due to the Woolsey fire (no internet).
Day 07. 11/10 offline due to the Woolsey fire (no internet).
Day 08. 11/11 298 lbs. Ventura/LA fire driven stress-eating weight gain. We are not in any immediate danger in Simi Valley. The Woolsey fire having gone west and southwest, and now also working its way east. Thursday night it had burned up the hillside to the south of SV. And sat there burning itself out becoming a natural firebreak. Fortunately no heavy winds in SV this weekend so that fire almost in my backyard is done. Hopefully it won't be coming back in our direction from the east. And that means I can get back on with my diet plans.
Day 09. 11/12 forgot to weight myself due to other issues.
Day 10. 11/13 297 lbs. Back in the right direction. I'll do better next challenge.
Up 2 lb so far this 10 day challenge. Dammit...
Down 1 lbs so far on challenges (I plan on doing more of them).
Down 16 lbs total since I came back to myfitnesspal.
102 lbs to go to where I want to be: 195 lbs, the weight at which I got married.4 -
@bubblegum2fitness, Congrats on dropping down a size! I love the style of your dress and that shade of red!
@emilyc0525, Oh my goodness. Your situation with the heat, husband out of town and 2 littles to care for brings back similar memories of my own. {{{Hugs}}} to you. I hope your heat has been fixed now.
@AJB1014, WOOP! WOOP! to your being 35 lbs lighter in time for ski season.
@Kres567, I think that you are doing very well. Daily weigh ins are an eye opener
@abowersgirl, Your Uncle's birthday party sounded wonderful to me. I'm glad that you enjoyed being with family. ❤ The food! There was no need to feel guilty about enjoying all the wonderful foods. You got yourself right back on track, that's what matters.
@quiltingjaine, Yaaas, your ketoversary pic is awesome! I'm glad you decided to make it your profile pic. I plan on posting mine at my one year mark. Love your kitty blankie😄 10 cups of coffee! Lol, I can drink too much of it when I'm cold too. I stop at 3 now, but then I start with herbal tea. I think I'm over the initial shock of temperature change now, because my water consumption is returning to normal. I do have days sometimes when I just don't want water.
@deepwoodslady, We have been all up and down these 170's. I'm tired of them. I know you are. Let's get out, shall we? I want to be saying so long to them by December 1st. I purposefully wanted to slow my weightloss down by eating higher carbs. I just did it at the wrong time, since I knew this decade would be problematic.
@Oncologychick, Congratulations on your normal BMI!
@Tracie_Lord, Great job whittling that vacation weight away!
@bryony_bby, You lost 2 lbs in 10 days, that is great!
@tlgale, Phenomenal loss in 10 days, so happy for you!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04- Couldn't weigh in this morning because I was at grandmother's house! I did go to a wedding party yesterday but half of my plate was salad and I only had a little bit of rice. The rest was sabzi (cooked spinach) and protein. Pretty proud of controlling myself tbh. Nonetheless, rice does make me retain water so maybe weight went slightly up (but I don't feel guilty at all because I haven't had rice in a while so I'm proud of myself and being reasonable!). Had a light salad for lunch which was satiating, delicious, and calorie-appropriate so will be under calories today so hopefully that'll help undo any damage due to yesterday but we'll see. Won't beat myself up if not, but staying focused the next few days.
11/05- 183.5- There it is lol. Staying focused today. Maybe we can make this go down tomorrow.
11/06- 184.5- Had to rush this morning. I don't think this is accurate. We'll see tomorrow!
11/07- 183.0- That major fluctuation scared me. Happy that it's a bit better. Was not rushed this morning so I have a healthy lunch and everything. Got a lot of studying to do. I think this should go down tomorrow. I feel in control. Also did HIIT yesterday. It felt really good. It was easy and at home. Will try to do this every night.
11/08- No weigh in
11/09- 184.0- Ugh. I've been eating not as well this challenge. Just kind of doing maintenance. I'm going to stop this and begin to follow the exact meals that I did a while ago when I was losing weight.
11/10- No weigh in
11/11- 184.0- have been feeling really off this whole week since Wednesday. I was in a mindset that I haven't been in for a long time. The mindset of "Well, I already messed up. Today won't make a difference either" and I've been in that mindset my whole life. It's basically what got me to my high weight. I kept messing the day up early in the day. But I feel good today. I think I'm getting over it. I have been eating good all day so far and I haven't been doing that the past few days so I think I'm over it. And I feel so much better.
11/12- 183.0- Did well yesterday. Going to do even better today. Maybe I can at least reach where I started.
11/13- 182.9- I'll take it. This was a bumpy ride lol5 -

This is my fifth round. I am starting not to freak out as much over the daily fluctuations. I ended last round high, which is why I have a larger goal this 10 days.

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.
11/10 165.5 --Weighed yesterday but forgot to check in. Friday did water aerobics and elliptical.
11/11 167.5 -- Went to football party yesterday. Stuck to the low carb options of cheese, olives, veggies, chili and a few walnuts....except for the graham cracker toffee, which I had several pieces of. Convinced I did not actually eat 7000 calories of toffee over maintenance. In fact, I was only a little over my calories, so I am hoping that this number will go back down! I did go for a walk and managed to get 12,000 steps. Was having bad cravings and bad mood--which I'm assuming was hormonal. I was glad I took the power walk, because I felt much better afterwards, and more in control when I went to the party. (I was not as good with water yesterday or today either).
11/12 166 -- Phew....Pumped water yesterday. Did the elliptical. Jogged an extra 5000 steps in front of the TV to increase my deficit. I'm clinging to this number for tomorrow!!
11/13 - 166.5 -- I'll take it. Gives me a good looking loss for this round, and a boost for next round!
Round start 169.5, round end 166.5 LOSS 3.0
