02/03 169.0 - Yay! glad to be in the 160s again!!!
02/04 170 Sunday was bad... tried to do a cleanse and instead totally broke it and ate quaker rice chips...
02/05 170.6
02/06 169
02/07 168.8 - yay! i’ve been eating mostly clean the last few days and doing my isagenix shakes mainly for breakfast and lunch... i’m up early today-5am and motivated. Need to either get to the gym or go to my basement for a workout. There was an ice storm yesterday so usually i would lean to the gym but basement is looking good when i think of the roads.
Also 168.8 has been my “all time” low since I started this year... So I really really want to move past it and down to the low 168s and then 167!
02/08 169.8 - Feeling so defeated and frustrated. Up a pound??? wtf??? I feel like i did everything right yesterday except I didn’t follow my diet by the book. I went off the rails with a pad thai lunch instead of shake or bar. But i went to the gym in the morning so thought i had wiggle room there.

My 28th Round!

I’m sticking around while trying to maintain my weight. Staying within maintenance calories is a lot harder than I thought it would be. It’s no wonder I’ve kept gaining back my losses in the past.

R67 SW: 144

Day/Weight/Comment

02/02 – 144 – I had a very stressful day at work, culminating with the office landlord deciding to change out the ceramic tile in the lobby right outside my office door. 4 hours of a jackhammer banging on tile. I couldn’t leave because I’ve got 9 corporate tax clients sitting on my desk. After I gave the owner a piece of my mind, he sent the workers home for the day. When I got home, I took my cue from @deepwoodslady and played some heavy metal music on my Alexa and danced while I did dishes. Although I can see the irony, that music can really relieve some stress and I burned some extra calories.
02/03 - 144 - I'm sick again with a chest cold and so my husband made some good homemade food for us today. My weight will probably be up tomorrow, but it will be worth it.
02/04 – 145 – No surprise, I had less than 2000 steps in yesterday since I spent a good portion of the day in bed. The good news is that I’m feeling better and am able to come into the office. Back to the food logging, water, and steps.
02/05 – 145 – I was hoping all the water I drank yesterday would get rid of that pound, but I should know by now that’s not how my body works. A former co-worker is stopping by the office today with samples from her cupcake business. I am budgeting my calories for ONE mini cupcake. I’m posting this to keep myself accountable, because her cupcakes are incredible.
02/06 – 144.5 – The weight is slowly heading back down. I did manage to eat only one mini cupcake yesterday.
02/07 – 144 -
02/08 – 142.5 – I think my scale got "stuck" on this number this morning. I'll believe it if I see it again tomorrow. I’ve still been sick the past couple days with bronchitis and although I ate very little on Wednesday, I made up for it yesterday. I went to the Dr. on Wednesday and got some antibiotics, so I’m hoping I’ll keep getting better and be able to start getting my steps in.

02/02 204.6 saved my calories to go to Blaze pizza last night, it was sooooo disappointing, they don't have the same toppings, the service was awful....I hate when a meal is so not worth it!
02/03 204.6
02/04 203.8 Happy to be down. I think my body is adjusting to the changes I am making, and I need to switch things up. Not sure how I will do that yet, but thinking about it. Have good week everyone!
02/05 203.2 Lots of protein and water yesterday. Made it to kickboxing too.
02/06 203.2 I am not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed. I confess sometimes I weigh myself before bed, and see if I anticipate a lower number in the am.... I did, and it didn't pan out That ok, not a gain... I will take it!
02/07 203.0
02/08 202.6 Happy to finally see the 2... it's the little things.

Round 67 SW: 216

02/02—215.8—This was a very late weigh-in.

02/03—215.2—Also a later weigh-in than normal. Did a ton of exercising yesterday and was basically a single meal all day at a great Mexican restaurant.

02/04—216—Early weigh-in. Had a good eating day. Did another round of my push ups challenge. I'm a little achy today in my shoulders and my head. Bleh. My head feels like a sinus issue. BLEH! Oh, I'm complainy!

02/05—215.6—I was half expecting a gain despite being within calories. Lots of different weigh-in times this round so it's harder to discern a pattern. Tonight, I'm hoping to try another push ups test to see if I can do 45!

02/06—216—I feel like a hovercraft hovering over this number! I didn't do the push ups last night. I felt an all-over ache that just made me think I needed to get some more rest. Tonight's the night!

02/07—214.4—I DID 46 PUSH UPS IN A ROW LAST NIGHT. Of course, my reward is that now I have to do a harder workout... This was an early weigh-in so I'm very pleased at the number on the scale. Got a lot of exercise yesterday between cardio and strength. Plank jump-ins are rather evil.

02/08—213.8—Early weigh-in. Got a lot of walking in. No other exercise. Ate well, too. I'm in a good place!

@mamarh don’t be discouraged!! It might just be the amount of salt in the Pad Thai. Happens to me too whenever I eat something saltier than normal (or like yesterday, more sugar than normal). It’ll go away

You probably are retaining a bit more water because of the pad thai and the gym exercise. When we first change our eating habits, many of us lose a lot of water weight (which isn't fat) and many of us will gain that water weight right back if we deviate from our plans. But that doesn't mean we aren't losing fat. Water is not fat!

Weight loss is not linear, and a lot of that has to do with water. Some days we have more of it in our systems, and some days we have less of it. Demanding a loss day after day will make you very frustrated. Instead, you should be looking at your trends. Try averaging a week or 10 days and see which direction you are heading.

You can do this! Remember, the scale gives you data. It's your tool, not your enemy!

02/02 - 201 (2380 steps) I’m not gonna lie. I was a complete slug on Friday. We got 6 inches of snow and I didn’t go to work. I didn’t exercise. I was wayyyyyy over on my eating. It was more of an 80/20 day. Not a complete blow out. I just needed a break for a moment. Now I’m back on track!!!

02/03 - 199.9 (7331 steps) I rode Spark for 45 mins on Saturday at the barn. I avoided bagels and donuts brought by other clients. I didn’t binge when I got home. It was a good day but, I am sore!

02/04 - 201.3 (6074 steps) 31 mins on bike (6.84 miles) Just call me a yo-yo this past weekend. On Sunday I did really well until mid-afternoon and then I just wanted to eat!!! What the heck? So I did but, I know Monday is meal prep day after work and I can usually do sooo much better on weekdays. I can get over my weekend hump. No problem. I got this.

02/05 - 200.7 (5994 steps) 35 mins on the bike (7.52 miles) Yesterday was Meal Prep Monday. I got caught up on making food for the week. This week is pork chops and Fusia chicken fried rice (both from Aldi). Feeling in better control of my hunger.

02/06 - 200.2 (6421 steps) 41 mins on bike (8.54 miles) Tuesday was an okay day. Stressful at work but, that isn’t anything new. I work in a VERY hectic occupational medicine office and I am the only one who does what I do for 2 providers and all our workers comp patients. Ugh! Did a bit more meal prep. Not sure how far it will get me but, it’s better than not being prepared and eating like an idiot.

02/07 - 200.7 (6902 steps) 43 mins on bike (9.09 miles) Had dinner with my girlfriends at a sushi place. It was an 80/20 day and I am okay with that. As long as I don’t do that all the time, I should be okay. Got a call to dog sit this weekend for a family going out of town. Need to plan what to do for meals. That’s usually when I scavenge and lose all control.

02/08 – 198.8 (3405 steps) Thursday I got home after work with a terrible headache which probably would have evolved into a migraine. Think I have a bit of TMJ starting on the right side. I ate dinner, tried to catch up on JGM10D posts, but by 7:35pm, I just had to go to bed. I was done! Woke up to a nice # on the scale though! Onederland – here we are again. 
