JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 72

SW=240.5
Goal= a loss for round 72
03/24 Sunday 240.5
Did spend some time being active outdoors today.
03/25 Monday 237.4
Tracked all my food today for the first time since starting this challenge in the last round. Always seem to end up around 14% protein instead of 20%. Tried PB Fit peanut powder mixed with water on toast and liked it.
03/26 Tuesday 237.4
03/27 Wednesday 233.2
03/28 Thursday 233.0
Maybe things will start settling down from some crazy water weight loss. It's a major achievement that I have been tracking and not overeating this week.
03/29 Friday 236.6
Feeling optimistic, like I can do this. Don't want to get ahead of myself, but would love to be able to wear some of the clothes in my closet that are currently too small! My hardest days are going to be my days off. I work Mon-Thurs, so have 3 of those to contend with each week...
03/30 Saturday 232.6
03/31 Sunday 232.6 . Went over my goal by about 500 calories yesterday. Had a couple of deficits earlier in the week, it's going to take a while for me to figure out how to manage my work day/ off day calorie balance. Did make my protein goal before going over on calories. Tried the Sprouts chocolate whey protein and it wasn't great. Have a few other samples to try.

04/01 Monday 233.9 . Went to Pizza Street with the kids yesterday, all-you-can-eat pizza buffet. Let's just say I ate all I could. 😳 Managed to do pretty well the rest of the day, but definitely expected to be up today. Back to work today, thank goodness!

04/02 - 156.3 - Well, I'm back to my start weight/R71 end weight. But its better than a gain considering how I've felt this entire round. I think there were only a couple of days I didn't feel sick/nauseous so maintenance is good. Water was better yesterday, but not back to my normal 75oz yet. Hopefully today I'll be a little closer to it. Didn't pack lunch today so I'm wondering how lunch will go. Guess we will find out

Day/Weight/Comment

03/24 205.5 Had barn day yesterday. Put in almost 13k steps but probably negated it with Mexican lunch and a huge margarita. Need to start daily bike riding or walking again.

03/25 DNW I was running late this morning (on purpose) and was dressed before I realized I hadn’t weighed in. Need to track, track, track to get myself back in the habit.

03/26 206.7 Stressed out to the max. Do really good with eating at work but lose absolute control at home. Never fails. First horse show of the year starts next Wednesday. Let’s hope my chaps fit. Ugh!

03/27 209.5 Let's try this again. I had already posted for today but apparently my Dad's laptop has a mind of it's own and I lost it all. I weighed in this morning in my work uniform. It was just easier than zooming downstairs in my skivvies and then going back up to get ready for work. It'll even itself out as I get into a routine. I am still not logging 100% of what I put in my mouth but I am always a work-in-progress.

03/28 207.? So I use a Fitbit Aria scale and I noticed that it did not sync my weight from this morning. But I swear I saw 207 something so I'll take that. Last night I did get OUTSIDE for a 1-mile walk. It felt GREAT to be outside and I cannot wait to do it again. It's supposed to be warmer today but I think it's going to rain. Boo! I did better on my tracking until I grabbed that cookie on my way up to bed. Grandma being at our house has REALLY stressed me out. She does NOT shut up while we sit quietly and watch evening television. Unfortunately, my ability to just tolerate or tune her out has decreased enough that I just want to lash out at her and then it gets ugly. Then all I want to do is eat! Ugh! #FamilyProblems

03/29 - 207.3 Thursday I went outside and walked again after dinner out with my girlfriends. It felt GREAT to be outside. I'm really looking forward to warm weather. My knee was pretty upset with me but I'm going to start small and build up. No running!

03/30 208.6 I actually ate a full sleeve of thin mints the past 2 days so thank goodness those are all gone. The sushi that I had on Thursday night usually causes water retention so I'm okay with the gain. No walking Friday night. It was raining after work and honestly I was in bed by 7pm and OUT!! Woke up at 1am, turned off my bedroom lights, and went back to sleep.

03/31 208.2 Saturday was barn day. We have our first show next week (Thurs to Sun). I rode Spark and Lego since I am showing both of them. Then we had our friend Mary (who is a yoga instructor) come to the barn and we all did an hour of yoga. I didn't eat the best but I did a ton of exercise so hopefully that evens things out.

04/01 207.6 Sunday was a very LAZY day. No exercise. Hardly any tracking. Mostly sleeping and heating pad. I woke up pretty sore (back) and just didn't feel like doing anything. I didn't even watch the NCAA basketball games. I have 3 LONG days at work this week and then "move in" at the horse show Wednesday night. I have 2 horses to show so I'm sure my Fitbit will get plenty of steps to record and I'll probably get very little sleep. My goal is to weigh less on Monday morning. It is possible.

04/02 207.0 Monday was a good day. I ate well and stayed UNDER my calorie goal but I did not exercise. I worked a 10-hour shift, went to get new tires after work, and it was after 8pm by the time I even got home to make dinner. Ready for the next round.

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!

I did not have a great last round. TOM completely botched it but I am very motivated to get started again after a weekend getaway where I ate and drank a lot. Let’s hope for a new low this week! Good luck everyone!

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!)

03/30 - 197.0 (I ate so much last night on date night with the hubby, but I planned it out! Half a burger and fries, chips and salsa and half dessert. I opted for water so I don’t drink my calories too. No workout last night since I was exhausted from a long week. I’m so happy seeing this number again!)

03/31 -199.0 (I went to a LA Dodgers game last night (Woohoo for that win!) and I had quite a few treats last night, but all planned and did a 30 minute strength training workout during the day. I had an unplanned glass of wine last night with my girlfriends since one of their moms passed away yesterday morning...it's not an easy thing for a 25 year old to go through. I'm still at a deficit which is good! It's almost the end of the challenge, so I hope it ends up being a great result!)

04/01 - 198.6 (Yesterday was a very successful day for me. I had a 45 minute elliptical workout and ate some asparagus, roasted potatoes and a pork chop for dinner last night. I had a deficit yesterday and weighed in 2 pounds less than last Sunday. We'll see if I can make the goal by tomorrow even though I already made it in Happy Scale and I'm moving toward my next goal )

04/02 - 197.6 (I didn't make my goal by the end of the round, but I did surpass it during the round. That still is a win for me...2 pounds down! 21.6 pounds overall...last night I did a 25 minute elliptical HIIT workout and had some Trader Joe's Chinese food which is a life saver when you're not in a mood to cook a full meal...especially on a Monday! Super excited for the next round!)

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.

03/30 - 176.5
03/31 - 176.7

04/01 - 176.7 I'm stuck. I didn't post all weekend but I did weigh in each day. I did not have my laptop and dislike posting on the phone. I'm still hopeful for a drop tomorrow. TOM came as expected to throw me off at the end of the round. I took a short walk yesterday and plan on a good 3+ today. I ate badly over the weekend and even went over on calories by probably 500 on Saturday. Right now there is no planned travel this week, and frankly I need a break. Of course I'm a sales person, so if the opportunity comes up I'll be hitting the road. Fingers crossed I'm down tomorrow.

04/02 - 177.7 I was stuck, now I'm up. I know it's a combo of TOM, a bao bun for dinner (not bad on calories but the sodium... Oy) and walking my fastest three miles EVER last night. I'm not happy but about the scale this morning but I understand where it's coming from at least. When I started walking I was consistently doing 3 miles in an hour - twenty minutes miles. Last night I did it in 45:54 seconds! That is very nearly 15 minute miles. I know it's slow but I've shaved 5 minutes off my time. It felt really good so even though the scale isn't showing it, I'm staying positive.

Round 72 (my fourth)

Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4
Round70 TL -3.6 pounds 356.4 - 352.8
Round 71 -3.8 pounds 352.8-349

OSW: 382
RSW: 349
UGW: 160


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.

03/31. 346.6

04/01 346.4. I was under the weather again yesterday so I’m a little surprised that I had any drop. I was over sodium and didn’t get in my water. Hopefully today will be better.

04/02 347.2 A disappointing end of round, but a high sodium day will do that. I’m sure I’ll see a couple of drops soon.

04/01 …..189.4 ….. Trickling s..l..o..w..l..y.. Yesterday’s stats: 1340 Calories In / 2819 Calories Out. 13 Net Carbs. 16,679 Total Steps & 7.06 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 7 hours & 29 minutes Wowza! I danced for 40 minutes. Sample song “Nice to be with you” by Gallery. An oldie that was good to use as a warm-up. Have a nice week everyone!

04/02 ….. 191.2….. So much stress here right now on a professional level & a personal level too that I can hardly breathe. Definitely ate my emotions . Just too much happening at once. Didn’t get to sleep until after 6:00 a.m. this morning. Today is also going to be a horrid day as I have to deal with a lot of it. I have got to keep my eating in check & not use it as a crutch. It does NOT solve my problems. See you next round.

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.

4/01 - 177 - 66g carbs, 63g net carbs. Carbs were: pkgd refrigerated crescent rolls (3, BIG mistake!) fried chicken, cabbage, eggs. Woke up with a really swollen knee and a lot of other aches.😩 I know it's from that bread I ate. AND, just in time for the start of my Niece's 30 day walking challenge. 😂 gotta laugh

4/02 - 174.6 - Although not 100%, feeling much better today. I felt like an old lady yesterday😂 I did do a partial abs workout, standing exercises, no floor work. Full abs workout today. Got some walking in too which was tough, but I needed to do it. 36g carbs, 29g net carbs. Carbs were: bbq sauce, cabbage, peanut butter, broccoli.
