JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 72
Replies
-
First round! I'd like to track 10,000 steps a day on my Fitbit, go to the gym on the days I have it on my schedule, and average a little under my calorie goals to help fit in any unexpected treats/beers. A 2lb loss would be great!

GW: 160 (I'll probably re-evaluate when I get there, but I remember being pretty comfortable at that weight)
Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 191.0 lb Pretty pleased! I had homemade pizza and beer last night and had expected a bump on the scale. I'm going out for dinner tonight, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
03/25 192.2 lb Dinner last night was Chinese food and beer, so nothing unexpected here and I'm not planning on eating out again until the weekend. I walked 10,487 steps yesterday and drank a decent amount of water.
03/26 191.4 lb I had one extra beer that put me a little over calories. 12,557 steps were tracked yesterday and I have a workout scheduled for today.
03/27 191.4 lb My boyfriend "made" dinner last night and got us steak and cheese subs. They were delicious and mostly fit my calorie goals. I also had a 2.5 hour board meeting that had free beer and I had two boozy IPAs. I knew there would be beer, so I didn't snack very much in the afternoon to fit them in. I walked 11,638 steps and did one round of level one from the 30 Day Shred. I'm either going to go to the gym this afternoon or doing another 30 Day Shred. I need to drink more water!
03/28 189.4 lb Crushed my calorie goals. We had trivia night and I ate dinner beforehand so I wouldn't be tempted to get bar food. I burned 350 calories on the elliptical at the gym and tracked 16,643 steps. I had an extra cup of tea and a full water bottle to help get more water in. I've got a fundraiser event tonight with a build-your-own taco bar, so I have good choices planned in my food diary today to fit in a few tacos for dinner.
03/29 189.4 lb I had a tacos and nachos for dinner, so I'll keep hydrated today to combat the sodium. 13,208 steps were tracked and I only had two beers even though the fundraiser was hosted by a taproom. I have the gym/fitness DVD scheduled for this afternoon and I'm going out for dinner, so I hope to keep steady for the next few days.

Lost down to 180 doing lazy keto last spring, but the summer vacations came and then the holidays
and I put all of the weight back on. I am going to be consistant with tracking my food...good or bad...and
get healthier this year.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 191.6 Surprised by this pound loss, because even though I stayed on my plan, I ate throughout the day
and only got 8,000 steps. Plan on taking a 5 mile walk around the lake, drinking lots of water and staying
keto.
03/25 192.2 Walked 13,000 steps yesterday, and stayed below my calorie goals, but did not drink much water.
03/26 192.2
03/27 192.6 Ate under my calorie goal and walked 11,000 steps. Not sure what's up...
03/28 192.2 My body seems to like 192. Just gonna keep plugging on..
03/29 191.2 Ok! Let's keep this going!

Just starting this round -- I have been traveling and working and soooo busy, but I need the structure and motivation this group give me -- so I'll keep jumping in when I can. Planning to stay put for awhile (at least a couple of weeks) and would like these next two weeks to be about losing 4 -5 pounds.
I'm a 61 yr. old woman who is in the best shape and health I've ever been. I do BRUTAL power yoga classes and love them -- I sweat everyday. I started MFP a couple years ago (after a lifetime of fighting weight) at 152, got to 122, and find myself back at 132 this morning.
Here's to it!

Previous Daily Summaries23/03
Not a bad round, I have had shark week and a holiday during this round so small gain was fine with me.
25/03
Had higher than normal carbs over the weekend and had a super active weekend, burned around 5000 calories on Saturday (16km of Rowing, 20000 Steps, Digging rubble out of the garden for 2 hours and a little jogging). So expect weight will subside a little toward the end of the week.
26/03
Went a bit mad with a loaf of bread yesterday, really must remind myself there's a reason why I don't normally keep certain foods in the house. Carbs up phenomenally yesterday again so up on the scale again today. Fibre will probably take care of that tomorrow though
28/03
Bingeing has been a bit uncontrollable this week, no idea what is triggering it in the slightest. Have increased exercise quite a bit as rowing race coming up soon and also taking part in a StepBet challenge. Weight is steadily climbing - seems the more determined I become, the worse I am doing. Think I am going to take a break from food logging altogether for a while and just monitor weight for a while to keep an eye on average calorie intake.
29/03
First day of not logging my food for a month, it was weird to eat and not have to log it because the habit has become so ingrained. Stepbet challenge going well, have hit well above my target without too much extra effort, extra walk at lunchtime or taking scenic route for grocery shopping.

ugh, I guess it’s good I’m staying around the same place. I ate food at the event I worked last night, so hopefully this is just water weight from that. I tracked and was under my calories with the ones from exercise. Worked out early this morning but we have company this weekend and it is pizza for dinner tonight.

03/24 - 289.4 - I walked to church this morning and was glad I made it up the steep hill. I'm getting stronger. It still took my breath away, but the stairs up to the church posed no problem. I plan on walking in an hour for about an hour. Only 14 more pounds to my next milestone goal.
03/25 - NW - I plan to go walking later today. I always think I can't do it, then I prove myself wrong. I've been hitting my active hours as well on my Fitbit. I'm feeling more hungry today for some reason. I'm thinking of eating my snack earlier instead of later. Food is still on point.
03/26 - 291.6 - Not sure what happened. My period is kinda lingering so that could be the source. I didn't get any exercise in, but I did get some more cleaning done. Food is still doing good. I've added in chopped spinach to my meals.
03/27 - 288.4 - Most likely just water weight yesterday. It's gone. Food is going good today. I added in turkey sausage to my breakfast for some extra protein. I have also increased the size of my evening snack as I think my calories were dipping too low. I have been busy cleaning again today in preparation for the housekeeping inspection tomorrow. If my package arrives early enough I will go for a walk around the community the room later.
03/28 - 289.6 - Hmm. Bouncy? I don't know. I'm not really getting my exercise in this week for a variety of reasons. Monday was rest day. Tuesday and Wednesday I was waiting for packages until late. And today my walk I cut short to keep from being brained by a baseball. Two guys were throwing a ball back and forth over the walking path instead of going to a space in the big park that wasn't a walking path. I have been burning some calories by doing a lot of cleaning.
03/29 - 286.6 - Woohoo! I guess maybe this is my new pattern, up then down. Either way it's progress. Fasting today as it is a Friday during Lent still. Just a few more weeks. My inspection was moved until today. I'm going to take advantage and clean the windows. I will have to sweep the bathroom again as Alex used his litter box, of course, and wipe down the kitchen counter from a spinach accident, but the rest is all good.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - No Scale (driving back from Vegas today without a weigh in this morning. I went to bed last night (or this morning) at 445am and I’m exhausted! Friday and Saturday I walked 25000 steps EACH day and I’m not sure how I still have feet! I count those two days as active so I hope the scale isn’t too bad tomorrow morning with all the food I had.)
03/25 - 200.6 (I'm happy I only gained a whole pound during my weekend away, which is a first for me. I usually gain around 5 pounds! All that walking truly helped. Last night I took naps and relaxed so I'm able to wake up to go to work so I did not do a workout. I had some Mandarin chicken, rice and broccoli for dinner last night.)
03/26 -199.4 (I officially lost all the weight I gained from my weekend getaway and it only took a day
Last night I did a 20 minute elliptical HIIT workout. I was supposed to do a core workout last night too, but I was too busy grocery shopping, making dinner and helping the hubby study for his macroeconomics test that's due this week. I made some Philly cheesesteak pitas with chips for dinner last night!)
03/27 - 198.6 (The scale is going in the right direction! I've been having issues with a canker sore that has really been painful and difficult to eat. I stayed on target last night with my calories even though I really didn't want to eat since it's the side that I usually put food at. It really is difficult to eat on the other side! I made pasta with sauce and a poppyseed chicken casserole. I also did a 45 minute elliptical workout. It was difficult to push through yesterday!)
03/28 -198.2 (I had a great day yesterday! Ate on my plan and had some relaxation for the middle of the week. I did a core workout that I was supposed to do on Monday and had dinner ready in the crockpot. I made some chicken tacos with black beans. I'm hoping tomorrow I can make my goal since I'm so close!)
03/29 - 197.0 (TGIF!! Amirite?!? I made my goal!!! My Happy Scale finally looked happy and I am so excited to get going on my next goal! Usually I weigh less every Friday so I hope I still have a lower weight on Tuesday, which may be an issue from weekend weight gain. We'll see how it goes! Last night, I was stuck in the middle of the high desert in SoCal coming home from work because of a huge accident that blocked the road. I didn't have time to make the dinner I had planned. My hubby went to Subway and got me a sandwich and I shortened my workout from 45 minutes to 20. At least I got something in!)

Aww, come on. Ppffftttttt.
03/25 - 149.6
Still struggling a bit with evening snacking, but at least they're not sugar. Working on it.
03/26 - 149.6
It's a beautiful, sunny day here. Off to the Y for weights and then a walk outdoors. Yay!
03/27 - 149.6
Okie dokie. Hangin' out here for a few days. No problem. My crocuses are starting to bloom, birds are courting and building nests in my nest boxes, and the cold wind feels like Spring cold, not winter. All is well.
03/28 - 150.2
Too much salt yesterday and not enough water or exercise.
03/29 - 149.6
The bad news - I'm not dropping the weight I regained Nov-March. The good news - I'm averaging more calories than seems possible and seem to have hit a balance point, suggesting that my metabolism is faster from regular exercise + a little more muscle. So I'm working at cutting my calories a bit, but also feel pretty optimistic that I''ll drop the weight when the weather settles into "lovely outside" and I get back to my long walks, some hikes, and putting in a new perennial+annuals garden (we moved in a year ago May and our backyard is a blank slate). I still have some pain and stiffness from PMR, but feel MUCH better than I did all last summer and fall. I have to get blood work next week to check my inflammation levels again, but can't help but think they're down since I feel so much better. I see a new rheumatologist April 8, which should be interesting. I'm still determined not to take prednisone, at least not long term. So now I'm off to the gym and then to look for paint to paint a garden bench. Thinking some luscious shade of violet. Have a lovely weekend, friends! Oh - and look who has moved into my front porch! House finches.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.
I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 — 193.3– I had a small sweet coffee filled with chocolate and sugar. Happy that didn’t cause weight gain. Back on plan today.
03/25 — 192.4 — Had a medium, very sweet coffee today. The rest of the day was on plan.
03/26 — 192.7 — Getting back on plan today.
03/27 — 192.1 — Husband decided to get Subway sandwiches for dinner last night. So proud of myself that I passed that up and made myself a healthy dinner (and saved money). I know they have some healthy choices, but I like knowing exactly what I am eating.
03/28 — 191.3 — Made goal for this round. Hope to lose more.
03/29 — 191.1 — I feel “lighter” all of a sudden. My clothes are looser and the jeans I just bought are 2 sizes smaller. 😀😀

03/24 - 177.5 My body must love to weigh 177 pounds because I've been around here for 40 damn days. Demotivating. I know it's a plateau and I'll get through it, it's my mantra these days.
03/25 - 176.3 Well that's nice for a change. I didn't walk all weekend and at around 1700 calories (adjusting for exercise) for the last week. Now that I'm finally down a tiny bit, do I keep with the 1700 or do I go back down?
03/26 - No scale Travel time again. Drove over last night, stopped at the Katy Trail for a 3 mile walk. It was beautiful. I walked over the Missouri river that is very high, several dams have broken north of here. I took some pics. I'm going to check it again when I drive home tomorrow, see how high its gotten in 2 days. I ended up at 1445 yesterday. MFP tells me 1440 is my calorie goal, so pretty darn close. NSV ALERT: I tried wrapping one of the tiny hotel towels around me and it went around me. I was able to tuck in the corner and half my body wasn't exposed - nothing was exposed. I've been so frustrated with this process this felt like a big win. Gym tonight and and three + on the trail tomorrow. Even if I'm not losing weight I have to be healthier with all this exercise.
03/27 - No Scale Yesterday went well work wise, calorie wise, and exercise wise. Can't ask for more than that. The weather was so nice that I went for a walk instead of weights at the gym. It was a little less interesting than walking over a flooded river but still neat. I got a good pic of the sun through some flooded woods. Every creek/lake is high so there is water everywhere. I know I'm up today, I can tell by the way my rings fit - I'm retaining water. Between travel and eating out (sodium bombs everywhere) I cannot seem to stop retaining water.
03/28 - 175.5 Nobody speak too loudly, I'm at my round goal with 5 days left. Maybe if we're quiet I won't go back up significantly. I did not end up walking on the bridge but instead waited until I got home and walked with an old friend. We had a nice easy stroll. I'm down and happy about it. Supposed to rain tonight so I'll go do weights at the gym.
03/29 - 175.7 I'm not sweating it and neither should you
I was low on calories yesterday and ended up walking again. I swear it's the gym and weights tonight. The rain that was supposed to start last night held off. I can go to the gym either tonight or tomorrow because it's supposed to rain all day today and tomorrow. I'm going to try to do yard work on Sunday. I got an estimate to clear downed branches and limbs - $600!!! So instead I'm having my friends and family over for a yard cleaning party. Pizza, fruit, and chainsaws, I know how to party!!!! I decided to change my MFP setting to a moderately active lifestyle. That upped my calories to 1640. Since I lost at 1700 I think it might be ok. We'll see.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/24 - 174.8 (FR) - 44g carbs, 36g net carbs. Carbs were: CRACKERS!, dill pickle, olives, celery in tuna, peanut butter, eggs. Yesterday was my last day of the 2 week 12/12 IF protocol. I will do it again if I think it's necessary, but only for one week. Week 1, I was definitely hungry at the end of the 12 hr fast. Week 2, I did not feel hungry until the 15th hour. My body was beginning to reset itself to my normal 18 to 20 hours of fasting.
3/25 - 173.8 - 29g carbs, 23g net carbs. Carbs were: eggs, strawberries, cabbage, cashews. My body is tired from my workout yesterday, but my weak lower body muscles are getting stronger. I've also been stretching my very tight IT band every day throughout the day to improve my knee. It's helping. I need my muscle roller massage stick today!
3/26 - 173.8 - 38g carbs, 29g net carbs. Carbs were: cabbage, peanut butter, celery in tuna, grape tomatoes, jalapenos, monk fruit sweetener (has carbs, but all fiber, no calories and no effect on blood sugar 😦??? O-kaaay) Keto friendly, resembles sugar, no aftertaste that I detect. I need to use it, bought it a year ago. The one I have is mixed with erythritol. It's 200-300 times sweeter than sugar, so why the mix? Probably, to stretch it, since monk fruit is very expensive and erythritol also has a couple of similar properties. I do have syrups and a greens food powder sweetened with only monk fruit. Very good, so good that it masks the taste of wheat grass powder which is quite nasty. Monk Fruit Sweetener
3/27 - 176 ⬅abs workout ☺ - 87g carbs, 74g net carbs. Carbs were: fried chicken, salad, cabbage, nuts. I was out all day, tired and hungry. Purchased a small snack bag of nuts, pumpkin seeds and dried fruit bits. 560 calories of really not much dried fruit or pepitas, mostly peanuts. The carb count not okay, but the calories balances the past week. I've been leaving a lot of calories behind and I don't like doing that. Did not take vitamins yesterday. It was bedtime when I thought of them. I need a lot of water to swallow pills, did not want to be running to the bathroom all night.
3/28 - 175.2 - 45g carbs, 39g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, coating on fried chicken, peanut butter, lemon juice, salad dressing.
3/29 - 174.6 - 29g carbs, 24g net carbs. Carbs were: green beans, broccoli, salad, fried chicken, lemon juice. Abs swelling finally coming down! Just in time for another abs workout😅

I made my trend line goal!!! 🤸♀️
Saturday was so lovely. My parents came down and brought my grandpa and their elderly basset hound Molly. At this point I do think I want to gain weight or maintain so I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted. Spicy guacamole cheeseburger was delicious! I ate half and my side was a Cesar salad instead of fries. And I drank half my beer. We walked around the creek with Molly since it was a perfect day and then had frozen yogurt. I didn't hold back on the toppings! After they left I plugged everything in to MFP, I had eaten 2,044 calories! Welcome to maintenance! Haha. But I was over my goal so when I went out dancing Saturday night I vowed to "stay sober", I.e. no liquid calories. And according to my Fitbit (and my scale apparently) my exercise calories ended up evening it all out! Yay! Victory!
03/25 133.2 t = 135.2
I need to keep reminding myself "I don't want to lose anymore weight, I don't want to lose anymore weight..." I don't need the dopamine fix of the scale going down. I need the fix of the scale going up! At least to 135 where I felt better. Today I vow to eat to my goal of 1720!
03/26 133.2 t = 134.9 😺
Cal in: 1747; Cal out: 1920. I am super surprised I haven't gained anything since increasing my cals. I am going to check the batteries in my scale later today. I ran out of my go to snack yesterday (Atkins pb bars) and I ordered a replacement but it's a different brand (Pure Protein) and they don't arrive until tomorrow.
03/27 132.4 t = 134.6
1800 cals in; 1987 cals out. I don't understand why the scale went down, it has fresh batteries. But I'm not complaining. Today I will eat 1900 cals!
By 4:30pm yesterday I was only at 700 cals, so I needed to eat over 1000 before bed. So instead of panic, I went to the grocery store to get ideas. I wanted high cal, low sodium. I ended up making myself a steak salad with lots of goddess dressing, and for dessert I had raspberry truffle Haagen-Dazs ice cream and I added 100 grams of real raspberries to give me extra fiber to pass all this food in the morning, haha! Oh and I started my TOM yesterday.
3/28 132.4 t = 134.3
1777 cal in; 1725 cal out
I was not very hungry yesterday and consequently had a hard time sticking to that 1900 cal goal. But on the other hand I was pretty sedentary (only 3,700 steps). So, maybe my appetite is tightly attuned to my activity level? Wouldn't that be nice 🙃 As long as I only ate when I was hungry (and not emotional/bored 🙄🙊) this would be easy 😂
Overall I'm really feeling great! And I hope to go for a jog later today and eat my 1900 cals!
2/29 132.8 t = 134.1 😃
1902 cal in; 1929 cal out ✔️
I ended up doing a super short jog last night when the rain stopped. It was nice but today I am sore. Last night I wasn't hungry for the 1900 cals but I really don't want to lose anymore weight so I ended the night with more raspberry truffle Haagen-Dazs ice cream! That stuff is calorie dense and delicious, it makes it easy to add an extra 450 cals at the end of the day! Although I did go to sleep full which was weird.
Today maybe I will try to have a bigger breakfast.

03/24 ….. 188.0….. [/color=redYesterdays stats: 1069 Calories In / 2049 Calories Out. 12 Net Carbs. 8,199 Total Steps & 3.48 Total Miles. IF 12:12. Had 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 21 minutes. My only exercise was 10 minutes on elliptical.
03/25 …..188.8 ….. [/color=limegreenStats for yesterday: 1061 Calories In / 2692 calories out. 53 Net Carbs. 12,612 Total Steps & 5.34 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 14 minutes & woke up refreshed. Thanks for the inspiration you all have given me this morning as I fast & enjoy my morning black coffee. One foot in front of the other, I can do this again today. Thanks guys!
03/26 …..187.6 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1031 Calories In / 3077 Calories Out. 8 Net Carbs. 22,130 Total Steps & 9.38 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 15 minutes & woke up refreshed. I exercised myself nearly to death yesterday (for an old lady, that is!) I walked for 115 minutes inside the school I also danced for 43 minutes. Sample song was “Shooting Star” by Bad Company.
03/27 …..187.6 …..
Yesterdays stats: 2168 Calories In / 2790 Calories Out. 92 Net Carbs. 11,393 Total Steps & 4.82 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 58 minutes .
03/28 …..187.6 ….. I’ve finished reading all the posts from yesterday & realized there was something in the air that caused all the LNS, cravings & especially the bingeing last night. I, too, was overcome by this mysterious fog that enveloped so many. I had a great hardworking day at my DD’s helping her again. Plenty of calorie burn & steps. I stuck to my eating plan perfectly. Then the fog rolled in last night while I was in bed watching TV. Why did I buy that Easter candy so soon? Sale? Well, it wasn’t worth it. Mini kit kats, kisses & reece cups took over my life for a few minutes there. I was SHOCKED to see the scale read the same this morning. Either I will see it in a day or two show up on that scale or I have been given yet another chance to prove myself. 1928 Calories In/ 2995 Calories Out. 143 Net Carbs. (OMgosh). 15,282 Total Steps & 6.47 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . Fitbit Step Hours 13/13. I slept 6 hours & 22 minutes (probably in a sugar crash). I danced for 20 minutes. Sample song “Flat bottom girls” by Queen. I hate posting when I have disappointed myself, but I’m only going to succeed if I continue tracking, logging, weighing & keeping myself honest & accountable. This challenge is one of my weapons & one of the most important tools in my toolbox. I hope to have a much better night tonight.
03/29 …..188.1 ….. That LNS from the 28th finally showing up on the scale. Tons of movement yesterday or it may have been worse. Today my DGS’s invited me out to lunch, their treat, so I will likely be over carbs but will watch my calories carefully. But when I do eat out I do know what to expect including bloating & water retention. They are in 5th grade & 6th grade and have never taken me to lunch before so they are feeling like charming gentlemen & I look forward to it. Late afternoon I have a salon appt. for haircut so a little more sitting will be had overall today. Then my DD will be coming over for some girly stuff. She is going to start selling Mary Kay & wants to show me some things. All in all, busy day planned & so I won’t be able to walk at the school today but fun with family is always fantastic. Yesterday’s stats: 1538 Calories In/2764 Calories Out. 32 Net Carbs. 20,103 Total Steps & 8.58 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 15 minutes but needed more. Tired today. I walked 79 Minutes inside the school & I danced for 41 minutes in 2 sets. Sample song “Soul Man” by the Blues Brothers.

CW 3/26: 184

Next Milestone: 181.2 (30% toward goal)
UGW: 155
R72: Newbie!!
Weekly Goals:
1200 calories + what I work out only!
drink 3 liters of water a day
lift weights 3x and streaming spin class work out 3x
try a yoga class at a nearby gym - eek! trying new things is so awkward.
The plan!!: Planned out calories and meals for the weekdays already. Just have to follow them and meet my work out goals. We're going away to Austin kid-free Saturday night (WOO!!), so I'm trying to really crush my goals this week so I don't have to deprive myself on Saturday, (but also don't want to totally derail!!) Lol. Planning to lift weights before we leave Sat and hope to walk a lot from the hotel to offset. Planned my meals/calories for the week and for the vacay, I'm thinking about packing healthy travel snacks for the drive and trying to order alternating vodka sodas and just plain sodas or light beers when we go to bars and, (since our friend we're visiting loves barbecue) I'll try and do smoked turkey or chicken with some safer sides.
Wish me luck!
Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - Recovering from stomach bug my son shared with me
(Didn't weigh in.)
03/25 - 183.3 - Survived hormone induced chocolate bowl at work freak out and almost stayed under cal goal. Tracked all (6!) pieces I ate and moved on. First TOM since starting tracking and trying not to get discouraged if my numbers go up. Also drinking extra water. Short dog walk the only exercise I felt up for.
03/26 - 184.0 - Lifted weights over lunch. Definitely feeling weak from being sick, but feel so good after working out. Signed up for my first yoga class in a couple years for tomorrow night. Excited, but def nervous too.
03/27 - 184.4 - Not sure why it's trending up, but I know it is my TOM. Also I had a big drop when I had the tummy bug so my loss a few days ago was not realistic/accurate. Still down from last week for sure. CAN NOT GET DISCOURAGED! Dropping off my car to get new tires over lunch and walking 30 minutes back to the office. There's a nice little trail most of the way back that I usually walk on at lunch anyway. Hubby offered to come get me, but I'd rather challenge myself with the exercise! Yoga/Pilates class tonight was really cool! Looking forward to going back soon.
03/28 - 184.7 - Ugh. Really trying to not get discouraged. I'm making progress and doing all the right things. Hanging in there for sure, it's just frustrating! Lifting weights over lunch. Dog walk with the family in the evening.
03/29 - 183.5 - Yay! Going to walk a bit over lunch and *try* to do a streaming spin class after work. Not sure if I will have time -- Getting excited about packing for our little kid-free getaway!!.

To be fair wine and pizza at a work do last night and zero exercise due to bad back, not bad. Need to reduce afternoon snacking, the perils of working from home!! Anyone else find this??

@tess453 Tess, I also work from home. It is very difficult at times because I also can eat & drink anytime I like which is quite different from most of the non-retired working world. I've done pretty well in pre-planning my food & snacks, however, my real temptation is that I AM home so much & when I get out near different foods in restaurants or social engagements I realize I have not actually mastered the art of control since I am always in a "controlled" environment.
The freedom to eat whenever I like, even when working, could cause a lot more weight gain than it does for me. My tool is Intermittent Fasting. I usually do 16:8. That is 16 hours without eating (mine includes my night's sleep) & an 8 hour window to eat. This helps to control the amount of calories & carbs I take in per day & helps me have less hours to eat & snack, just like others who are not their own bosses and work outside of the home. Now, if I could just learn that control away from home & work.........

@ShellyLeeP In case it hasn’t been suggested (I’m trying to catch up) have someone significantly heavier or lighter weigh on the scale to reset it.
@MarisaMSimon Yes, 2-3# seems to be my normal overnight loss. 5# was shocking!

03/24--213.4 Not sure why the jump on the scale. I ran my 5k this morning!
It was a lot better than I thought it would be since during my c25k training I had only ran at most 3.0km. Now I need to get ready to start my training for a 10k in June. After the 5k I had plan to rest/relax for the rest of the day, but I will go out for a walk later this afternoon to help with any soreness. I have a massage booked for Tuesday, so that should help with any residual soreness.
03/25--214.2 Jump due to soreness from the 5k. I plan on relaxing today. Trainer tomorrow.
03/26--212.5 I knew there would be a drop on the scale when I woke up this morning and didn't feel sore anymore. Tonight is the trainer and then a massage.
03/27--212.0 After talking to my nutritionist we decided that hard cheese would be the next food I would incorporate into my diet to test my sensitivity to it. Well, on Sunday I had hard cheese with all of my meals and then yesterday I could tell that something wasn't right with my stomach when I felt bloated for most of the day and did not have my regular BM. So, hard cheese is out. Ugh! Yoga tonight.
03/28--212.5
03/29--211.2 I forgot to check in yesterday. Had a hard workout with the trainer yesterday and he is so impressed in how much stronger I am getting. Plan is to go for a run tonight and start training for my 10k in June, but it may start raining later and I hate running on treadmill, so we'll see.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
3/23 128.0
********
3/24 129.0 Had a headache after family brunch didn’t leave the house. High salt late supper at home.
3/25 129.0 No control over where visitors chose to eat but making the best choices possible for ME. No big TMI visits for a couple of days so feeling really bloated!
3/26 130.0 Still no TMI. Sweet DSIL is coming to stay with us for 3 days so eating should be much better. Taking her daughter to the airport. Going to El Pollo Loco as often as she wants because she loves it and doesn’t have it at home!
3/27 128.5 How much does your weight change over night?? I was 133.5 when I went to bed last night! What a difference one day of eating and getting plenty of water can make! I’m posting before anyone else gets up and then hope to catch up on all the past posts.
3/28 128.0 Celebrated granddaughter’s 16th birthday a day early because my SIL is leaving in the morning.
3/29 128.0 Today we’ll watch grandson at robotics regional. Up at 5 this morning to take SIL to the airport. I need a nap.7 -
Round 72 (my fourth)
Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4

03/24 347.4. I’m a little surprised at this woosh, I’ll see if it stays. I’m certain tom is starting sometime soon and I usually see a little upswing then, but hopefully I’ll still be solidly in the 340s. My nsv yesterday was staying in calorie goal despite feeling hungry a portion of the day.
03/25 347.8 Not unexpected I had a higher sodium day yesterday and I’m not sure that I got in all my water. I have both a sick kid and a kid who fell skateboarding, she’s okay just bruised, so yesterday was a little rough and it will be a rough day today. My nsv yesterday was not having any of the snacks that my husband picked up to deal with his stress.
03/26 347.2 Looks like I’m really in the 340’s, at least for now. I’ve not only reached my goal for this month, but if this trend continues I’ll be several pounds under where I had hoped to be. My nsv was not having a single bit of the high calorie snacks that my husband got.
03/27 347.8 I’m not surprised by a little gain I took a couple of longer walks yesterday. Both were further than I normally walk, the second one was nearly double the first. I’m feeling those walks this morning so I’m certain that it’s all water and I’ll see my usual pound drop after a bounce around in a day or two. My nsv yesterday were the walks outside, I’m really proud of myself for getting out and doing them.
03/28. 348 Tom should be here soon, I’ve been feeling cramps since last night. I expect once that’s over I’ll see some drops.
03/29. 348.4 I was over calories, over sodium and under on my water intake, it could have been worse.
