JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 68

It was so nice meeting @puddlegoober last night! Thank you for coming to the motel. I should have asked last night, is it okay to post the picture?

OH! And I’m a hooker too! Hadn’t done it in a few years but working on two shawls now!

I’m definitely in! Round 3 for me.
Original starting weight-275.6
Round 66 Sw 269.8 / loss 6lbs (263.8)
Round 67 Sw 263.8/ loss 3.8 lbs (260)
Goal this round 4 lbs

02/12 - 258.8 (-1.2)
02/13 - 258.4 (-1.6)
02/14 -259.4. 💕
02/15 - 258.2(-1.8). I’m not sure why yesterday was up. I work nights and finished a stretch with very little sleep so maybe getting in a good 8 hrs helped.
02/16 - 257.4 (-2.6). I made cauliflower crust pizza last night. It was very filling , I felt for sure I would gain but love it even more now.🥰
02/17 - 256.6(-3.4). Nsv . Yesterday we celebrated hubbys birthday. He wanted Chinese he got the usual Chinese buffet I got the steamed beef and broccoli no rice. I still wanted an egg roll and crab Rangoon but stayed strong. I did have a sliver of cake my daughter made but it worked out ok. So glad I maintained strong.
02/18 - 256(-4lbs). Goal made for this challenge.💪

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, 11,771 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.
45 minutes of exercise, 10,168 steps, 64 oz of water

02/15 157.4, new low and 15.2 lbs lost. I know tomorrow I will be up a bit since it has been a back and forth round, but still proud of an overall downward trend.
45 minutes of exercise, 7348 steps, didn’t track but probably around 35 oz of water

02/16 158.2, expected this number with the way the round is going and it seems like splurge days or carb heavy days show up a couple of days after. I ate well yesterday, but didn’t get to my steps or water goals (drank a lot of diet soda and coffee). I will drink a lot of water today to compensate for yesterday
60 minutes of strength step class, 15,672 steps, 72 oz of water

02/17 157.8, I went out for sushi last night and think I ate ok. I had two spicy tuna rolls and a side salad, but that was my lunch and dinner. I still feel very thirsty so there must have been a lot of salt or I am just more thirsty around my period (which starts on Wednesday). I’m going to track my period on Fitbit this month and it will start giving trends after 2 cycles.
9823 steps, 64 oz of water, 60 minutes on arctrainer

02/18 157.4, getting closer to that 156.x number that was my goal. I feel like I am losing motivation this week (longest I have ever tracked or exercised regularly), so just focusing on staying positive and realizing that any loss is better than none.

Been a year since I've last committed to this and now the weight has come back with a vengeance. Well, so have I!
Trying out some new exercises (signed up for rock climbing!) this time, hopefully everything goes smoothly. Thank you for starting this thread

Note: I weigh-in in the mornings for consistency, so my comments will be more or less about the day before. Cheers!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 -132.0 Rock climbing 2.5hr, jogging 1.5mi, small cool down core workout. Was good with calories until roommate tempted me with a homemade muffin ... it was delicious!
02/13 - 131.6 The crazy snowfall yesterday (weather warning in effect) coupled nicely with my rest day. Things outside are clearing up now and I've got no excuses on that front.
02/14 - 132.6 Whooo I blame this totally on the simply atrocious amount of snacks brought into the office today (someone got chocolates for the team!), and the fact that I had to stay in the said office until 7pm got in a good 1.8 mi run and some core workouts though so it wasn't all too bad. Also modified the rough GW, 3 lb seem much more reasonable
02/15 - 131.8 Was feeling kinda down due to our monthly office "Mix-and-Mingle" event - ate some pretty unhealthy stuff But what the heck, at least I didn't have any alcohol (the calories in those things!). Had a nice long 2.5hr rock climbing session, made up 2 lvl 9 climbs that I couldn't before, and killed a lvl 8 that was giving me a hard time earlier this week . Went home and supplemented the power workout with a 2mi run and quick 10min cool down core exercise.
02/16 - [ski trip, no weigh-in]
02/17 - [ski trip, no weigh-in]
02/18 - 131.6 phew! What a trip. The hills were chunks of ice after the bouts of freezing rain we've been having, but I'm glad to have gotten in one more trip this season. Glad to be home!

02/12: 209.2 - My son’s 6th birthday, and my 1st day on maintenance while we have a guest. Stayed under goal despite dining out for lunch and birthday cake in the evening. 🍫

02/13: 209.6 - Leftover birthday cake blew my goal out of the water. Luckily it was a small cake, so it’s gone now. It was so rich; I think I’ll be good without dessert for a WHILE! 🍫🍫

02/14: 210.6 - Not surprising, given the past two days. I need to drink more water. Went out to lunch and had a large burger, but still stayed under goal; I was too full for dinner! 🍔

02/15: 210.4 - Spent the whole afternoon at the park, including a picnic lunch. Under goal. 🌳

02/16: 209.0 - Looks like I’ve recovered from the birthday celebrations! Maybe maintenance wasn’t necessary during this visit... my appetite seems to have adjusted. 🤷🏻‍♀️

02/17: 207.8 - New low! Previously 208.4 ⭐️

02/18: 207.2 - Yay! ⭐️

02/19: 207.6 - I debated switching back to my deficit this week but I know this week will involve Dim Sum, a new Cantonese place, and a theme park sooo.... I’m gonna stick to the plan. 🎯

02/15: 191 lb. Indulged in Starbucks this morning and then had far too much cheesy pasta for lunch. Not exactly a great start, but I intend to improve.
02/16: 188.9 lb This is closer to my normal 'current weight'. I'm assuming yesterday's number was due to retaining water weight from some bad food earlier this week. Also, the fiance and I waited until today to celebrate Valentine's day - I resisted overeating movie snacks and made us a healthy steak and salad dinner. Yay!
02/17: 187.2 lb - Did a massive deep clean of my apartment today; was cleaning most of the day, so it was a nice workout. Also food prepped for the coming week - nice to see all those little meal boxes in the fridge and not have to worry about what I'm doing for breakfast or lunch the rest of the week.
02/18: 187.2 lb - no change. Also had massive junk food cravings today and let myself get way too hungry before lunch, so I ended up scarfing some chips and m&ms. I'll have to be more careful about making sure to bring a healthy morning snack.
