03/23 …..189.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

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.

03/30 …..189.6 ….. I enjoyed the lunch with my DGS’s a little too much I think. Then dessert last night. Ugg. Back to square one & working on the bloat already today that I feel. Too many calories & carbs to count or admit to. I almost held my hands over my eyes on the scale but decided to look. My fitbit info for yesterday is as follows: 2175 Calories Out. 8180 Total Steps & 3.46 Miles. IF 12:12. Got in 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours (all but the hour I sat in the Salon Chair during appointment). Not sure on sleep as I charged my fitbit last night, but it was between 5 & 6 hours. My hairdresser has found a new bald spot in the back of my head & my hairline has receded even more. She desperately wants to get answers but I am working with my dr & a dermatologist and nothing is helping. I’ve got to keep working on my protein intake.
03/31 …..189.6 ….. A rather sedentary day & movie night at home with my son. 1781 Calories In / 2358 Calories Out. 10,170 Total Steps & 4.45 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 27 minutes which is fantastic for me. I used elliptical trainer for 21 minutes. Just a so-so movie on a so-so- day. Happy Sunday everyone!

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😅

3/30 - 175.8 - 22g carbs, 17g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, salad dressing, guacamole, ingredients in turkey burger, peanut butter, turkey pepperoni, egg. It's going to be a lot of back and forth with my weight until my body adjusts to my exercise. All muscles are firing! Feels good to get back to it on a consistent basis, been a long time.

3/31 - 174.6 - 59g carbs, 54g net carbs. Carbs were: guacamole, peanut butter, 😒 cookies.

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.
03/30--211.5 Went for a 2 mile run today with the dog...it was great. I usually go to the gym on Saturday, but I didn't want to get up early to get to the gym before it gets busy, so I went for a run instead and will go to the gym tomorrow morning. Going out with hubby later to buy new running shoes. Plan is to do some decluttering today.
03/31--210.7 Went to the gym and did my weightlfting. Going out for a long walk with the dog later today and will do somemore decluttering.

03/24 200.7 for the 4th day in a row… I suppose I should be happy since dinner the last two nights has been an over indulgence!
03/25 200.7 – Still holding here…
03/26 200.7
03/27 200.7 – I’m starting to think my scale is broken. I haven’t been great at tracking the last few days…
03/28 200.7 – Yep. At this point I’d be happy if the scale moved either way so I know it’s not broken lol.
03/29 202.8 – Well not broken lol. I had way too much Thai food yesterday at lunch and just overall have not been great working out or tracking stuff.
03/30 200.8
03/31 200.8 – Didn’t get to post yesterday, but glad I didn’t spend a week at 202 lol. Not been great with water this weekend. Also managed to pull/pinch something at the base of my neck/between my shoulder blades so didn’t work out today… has been like this all day so tomorrow not looking great either.

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.

03/30. 347 Tom finally arrived this morning, as did a nice down swing. I didn’t feel well yesterday and I was under calories by a bit, but since that doesn’t happen often and the day before was high I didn’t bother trying to eat more. I figured listening to my body was better than forcing myself to eat. I’m feeling better today so today should be normal calorie wise.

03/24 208#. I need to work more on drinking enough water. Is it your weight ÷ 2= ?? Ounces/day? I'm 5.4# away from my lowest weight . Today is day 23 of logging my food. I have officially beat my hubby! I'd he doesn't watch it, I'll pass him on this weight loss stuff. LOL! I did over stuff myself at supper. Homemade pizza. It was so good! Not feeling so good now. 3,808 steps. 124 oz water. 1,325 calories.
03/25 208.4#. My cravings were bad tonight. I went over on my calories. Thank goodness for Zumba! 2,161 calories in pre workout. 9,999 steps.
03/26 210#. I am a bit surprised by this big of a jump.
03/27 208.4#. COMPLETELY blew my calorie intake for today. The last 3 days I have had terrible munchies. Tomorrow I should only eat when my body is truly hungry.
03/28 208.6#. Feeling much better about today than yesterday! Didn't have the cravings today. However I still ate 2 cups of pasta. Keeping the calories well under 2,000 today.
03/29 209#. I'm only down 0.2# for my weekly weight in. Not nearly as good as the last two weeks. I'll take what I can get. I might struggle a bit tomorrow. Eating with extended family.
03/30 206.6#. Whoot whoot! I'm going to try to be better with my water today. I've slack off the last 2 days. Calories in 2,151. Strength training about 12 minutes. I should have skipped the ice cream cake.

This is my first ever one of these and I'm super excited!
Week food is planned. Exercise planned. Now to get it done!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 187.4 this morning after an evening off yesterday. Lowest weight last week was 186.8 on Thursday, would love to see that tomorrow morning for my official weekky weigh in.....!
03/25 - 186.8 (-0.6) and, back to my lowest weight so far, would love to see a new low tomorrow!
Yesterday I wasn't perfect with my food but drank lots of water and did 16000 steps including a round of couch to 5 k.
Today, I'm out of the house from 9 to 8.30pm for work.... lunch and snacks are packed, but i don't see how I'll manage 10k steps.... let's see if I can surprise myself!

03/26 - 185.8 (-1) wasn't expecting that after just 5000 steps yest and no time to think about water etc. But, I'm taking it! C25K jog done this morning, shower now when brekkie lunch box and to work for an 11.5 hour day again, I will stay on plan!

03/27 - 185.0 (-0.8) happy happy! Below my low weight of last May now.... And so keen to keep on going! Another 11 hour day at work.... what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, now it's time for coffee!

03/28 - 185.4(+0.4) was always going to happen and little ups are just fine. Going to focus on my water today as Thursday is a bit of a treat night. I don't work Fridays so it is my Friday night! Don't want to ruin my hard work of the beginning of the week though so will try and stay in control! I'd love to be in the 184s for my 'official weigh in next Monday......

03/29 185.6 - yesterday I over ate on a pack of choc covered rice cakes before bed and also had a planned gnt. I'm tired, but today I will hopefully have time to focus on my water and make good choices today.... weekends are my nemesis and because I have split offs mine can end up being Friday to Monday. But, this challenge is going to help me to keep control:) happy Friday everyone!

03/30 - 185.8, slowly creeping the wrong way with only myself to blame! Yesterday I didn't eat enough for brekkie or lunch so then had way too many bad snacks in the aft/Eve. Tonight there will be wine but I'm still hoping I can stay under 186 by some miracle and then start heading down again!

03/31 186.0- I'm happy with that! Now to focus today and for the week!jog done this morning and overnight oats eaten. Today I will be planning for the week and being organised so I can get into 184s and below next week I hope!

04/01 186.4 - meh. Right it's Monday morning, I need to focus again.

03/24 - 206.0 - down a little. Surprised as I didn't have a great day food wise but I suppose I ate little of the bad stuff. And I did manage a run/walk. So happy with that!
03/25 - 206.8 - back to start weight again. Food was ok yesterday. Could have been better. Spent the whole day walking around but more of a stroll than a brisk walk.
03/26 - 207.6 - not good. Not too bad with food but mane too much bread. This is not a good trend.
03/27 - 205.4 - excellent day yesterday. Excellent food wise and I did a yoga class and a very brisk walk. Hope I keep this loss now.
03/28 - 206.6 - food ok but too much of it and not enough exercise because there was no time. Today will be much better!
03/29 - 205.2 - food a bit too much cheese and no exercise just the usual 10,000 steps but nothing else.
03/30 - 206.0 - food ok and very brisk walk for 40 mins. Also plenty of water.
03/31 - 205.6 - food was good, did have a large glass low wine though. Also good 6km walk

Focusing on me this round (never easy with 6 kids, 2 kids still at home, 6 grandkids, upcoming cheer comp and a permanently busy life! No major social events the next 10 days that should throw me off - although it is Mothers Day here in the UK next Sunday and the round does take in two weekends so need to stay focused through that. So here goes!

My target for the round is to lose a pound and finish mid 148's ............

Round start 149.7

03/24 - DNW - was my turn for a Sunday morning cup of tea in bed! At a quiz night last night where although I allowed for it in my calories for the day I did have salty snacks - doritos, olives etc and drank a ton of very gassy sparkling water so I know weight will be up and will take a few days to recover

03/25 -152.8lb up 3.1lb which is not possible but down to Sunday roast last night and hang over from Saturdays nights salty snacks. Scales may not reflect it but I know why they are up and it will be a temporary blip. Still no TOM (12 days over now!) and bloatedness still hanging around but despite all this feeling good about where my head is at and looking froward to this round to make some progress!

03/26 - 151.6lb down 1.2lb - in the right direction so will happily take that for today and hopefully keep heading in this direction! Food all planned and ready for the day and a gym session tonight - and as that is all done, water is now my focus for today

03/27 - 151.6 +0.0 - stayed the same which is OK as its not up Good food day planned , good gym session last night and TOM finally decided to arrive. Clocks go forward this weekend and so the lighter evenings will be upon us which always gives me a massive boost mentally. Continuing the quest to go down...........

03/28 - 151.3 -0.3lb - bit lower. Slow and steady..... Day planned to be within calories but going to be carb heavy (working lunch today which involved sandwiches and we have home made burgers tonight) so may not reflect well on the scales tomorrow. But still hoping... Gym session tonight, been guzzling away on the water and green tea today so all good there - macros need some work by the looks of it

03/29 - 150.5 down 0.80lb - yay feeling good and going in the right direction (albit slowly....)

03/30 -150.6 up 0.1lb but weighed in later than normal being a Saturday and did have a carb heavy (within calories)
dinner last night (home made chicken enchilladas - yummy!) so ok with todays weigh in. Should be all good today although mothers day tomorrow so a big family roast dinner planned but hopefully will be partly offset by my bike ride tomorrow - we're back out on the Social Sunday Rides. Only a slow 35 miles planned as no-one has been out for ages with a mid way tea and cake stop - perfect mothers day for me

03/31 - DNW - was mothers Day so did indulge in a slice of sponge the girls made me and also a full on roast dinner in the evening with a selection of very yummy desserts! On the other side though I did get out on my bike for the first time this year and did a 42mile ride so really pleased with that. Tea room mid way stop was a pot of tea and a toasted hot cross bun but according to Strava I burnt 900 calories so not feeling guilty about it!

04/01 - DNW again as had big dinner last night so decided to give the scaels a miss. Good food day planned today though and a walk tonight to help loosen up my legs after yesterdays ride so a good day ahead

First weekend of not logging done, scale is up a little but then I did have a few drinks and ate out a couple of evenings. Goals during this period are to keep up eating plenty of fruit and veg, try to eat a little more fat than usual for satiety, cut down on snacking and stop buying trigger foods. We'll see how it's gone by the end of the month I suppose.
