Day/Weight/Comment

02/12 …..185.4 ….. Yay me! It finally budged but I had to go to extreme measures to get a jumpstart! That was actually easy since I woke up with a bad cold & didn't feel well most of the day. Today I will get the carbs & calories back up to plan & try to keep this ball rolling, especially in light of Valentine’s day this round which will include multiple meals outside of my home and we all know how that ends with me. But I’m working on that weakness. Travel at the end of the round for some overnight medical trips will not allow me to do the last few days weigh-ins (unless weather causes me to cancel trip). This will be a tough round but I’ll do my best. My stats for yesterday: 708 Calories in / 2648 calories out. Net carbs 7. IF 16:8 A total of 19,105 steps which included a planned walk. 8.22 Total miles for the day. 13/13 fitbit step hours. I danced for 37 minutes & I walked indoors at moderate pace for 69 minutes. My sample song was “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins. A great high-paced peak song. Good Luck everyone on this round.
02/13 .....185.2..... I had to cancel an out of town Dr. Appointment today due to weather. We have gotten 11” of snow since yesterday afternoon into today. No school again for my grandkids. I wanted to pump up my calories over yesterday’s post, but it was an all day & evening phone day so I was way under on everything again but so distracted my stomach stayed satisfied. I will try to bring my calories up again today a bit. Yesterdays stats: 848 Calories In / 2454 Calories out. 11 Net Carbs which was mainly my Cauliflower Rice casserole. 14,440 steps & 6.11 Total miles. I spent a bit of time briskly walking up & down long hallway (on purpose) during some of the calls to get my steps in. IF: 17:7 I completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours and 11 minutes which was very refreshing. I walked 50 minutes & danced 44 minutes. Sample song was “Lighthouse” by Ziggy Marley.
02/14 .....185.4..... Plans for today: Valentines Day luncheon with Friends followed later at night with Pool Hall Potluck featuring special V-Day desserts. Wish me luck! Food…Food…Food… A slight blip up in weight on scale. I’m not sure why because yesterday was a good day & I stuck to plan. I managed to slightly increase my calories because they had been running too low. Not as much exercise but still got a bit of planned movement in. Slept well. However, water intake was low which usually happens when I’m so busy. Stats: 1061 Calories In / 2492 Calories Out. 16 Net Carbs which was mainly Keto friendly Jalapeno Poppers to help me pump up my calories. 13,144 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF: 16:8. I completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours & 41 minutes. I walked indoors for 20 minutes & danced for 22 minutes. Sample song was “Last Kiss” by Pearl Jam . (The remake of the oldie). I’m planning a fun day & night. Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 159, not a great start to Round 68. I think my salt intake over the past few days caught up with me. Today is another day so I am not going to be too discouraged. I ordered Plated for this week and the calories count are really high, especially for my height and intake. I made their Steak Quesadilla yesterday and the serving size was 960 calories. I cut my portion in half so calories were within the 1360 I could eat, but I was still very hungry. I order from meal subsciptions around once every month, but took January and December off because of the holidays, so this was the first time I have cooked with them on a diet.
45 minutes of exercise, 11771 steps, 64 oz of water

02/13 158, good drop after eating well yesterday. It's raining heavily today so hoping to make it to gym after work. Officially no longer obese, just overweight so pretty happy to see 158. My next mini goal is 157.6 (15 lbs down) and hope to get there soon!
45 minutes of exercise, 7386 steps, 76 oz of water

02/14 158.5 up a bit, but ate really well yesterday so just will trust the process and see where the scale goes this round. It rained heavily yesterday and it looks like the rain will continue to Friday. I am hoping to get at least 5000 steps in so that I can make up the difference later in the round. Most of my steps involve walking outdoors and running errands, so the rain hinders that ability.

End of Round 67 - 321.4 (-7.4 lbs)

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 - 322.6 - Eh. It's a fluctuation most likely from water. I don't mind it as long as it doesn't become a trend. I'm trying a new worksheet that my dietitian gave me to go off of for this week and see how it goes. It is designed to maximize my nutrition or my calorie intake. Overall I am feeling stronger, better, and more energized. I'm good and for the first time in a long time I can say that and mean it.
02/13 - 322.0 - So, yesterday was a rough day. I had a binge, small, but a binge and I was fine until I saw the numbers, then I wanted to purge. I cried and just saw myself ballooning to 600 lbs and more. Ed was screaming in my head to purge, purge, PURGE. Instead I spent the day doing self-care. I ditched the exercise as I couldn't trust myself to not take it to an extreme, so I rested. I hooked (crocheted) and made progress on my heart scarf that I am making just for me. I decluttered my tables in my living/dining/exercise area. I spent time snuggling with Alex the Mighty (see profile picture). I watched shows that I enjoyed on Hulu. I went to bed at a decent hour.
02/14 - 322.4 - TOM hit! 2 weeks late, but finally hit. This isn't that uncommon with PCOS. Feeling bloated and kinda blah today. I worked really hard in pulmonary rehabilitation today. I have three more sessions and then I'm done. I will graduate into my insurance's program for health in a gym. I get to choose between Planet Fitness and the YMCA. YMCA is within walking distance and Planet Fitness is just a short hop away on the bus. So, not sure which one I'll go with. I'm nervous about today. I'm going to a potluck and going to try and not freak out if I eat more than I should. So, yeah.

02/13 180.8 Hmm I adjusted my calories slightly to see if that helps. How long do you normally give it before making adjustments? In the 20 days I’ve been back to using mfp I’ve lost 1.2 pounds.

💗02/14💗 179.4 Woo hoo! Back to round 67 start weight! We're on a budget this Valentine's Day, so we're celebrating at home. I'm making a steak dinner tonight. 🙂 Have a great day everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/12 = 218.2 (+1.2), BF% = 18.3 (+0.1). I'm going to call yesterday "an extended weekend." It started by eating out (Thai) at a place I know I should not have. I had something "keto-friendly" for dinner, except my wife "convinced" me (I'm going to stick with that for now) to have a slice of bread with it, which turned into two. I snacked a little mindlessly at one point. And I ended the night with 4-5 mini ice cream cones from Trader Joe's (if you know what they are, they're delicious). I'm owning what I ate, even if I didn't log it last night. I'm really trying to stick with this again, good or bad. Writing this right now is some serious deja vu. I'M STILL HERE!!!

02/13 = 217.2 (-1.0), BF% = 18.2 (-0.1). Just in case I was trying to forget, holidays suck a little bit. Valentine's Day means candy is everywhere. Someone put a Godiva dark chocolate assortment in the break room at work, and I had some (a little more than I planned to). Everything else for the day was okay.

02/14 = 215.8 (-1.4), BF% = 18.0 (-0.2). Happy Valentine's Day everybody! I had a little bit of a candy/cookie binge last night, but my weight disagrees. We'll see what happens tomorrow morning. I'm just going to try to eat well today.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12: 204.7 Having one of those days that I want to eat a *lot*. Which means I’m not hungry but want to keep eating. But I’m fighting it and so far so good. Thankfully this doesn’t happen often.

02/13: 203.7 Back on track today. I’m 10 lbs down from my original start weight. Yay!

02/14: 203.7 Thank goodness cravings are gone. I’m happily skipping the candy this year. We had some at work and I was able to say no.
