JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 73

First Round - 73
I'm flipping hungry. Jump starting my weight loss with JJ's Green Smoothie 10-Day Cleanse and on Day 7. Awesome thing about it is that with thinking about drinking water to feel full, and how to get my workout in, I haven't given much thought to how bad I want a beer.

Goal is to be 150 by end of September. Started at 207 7 days ago. Bet on myself on healthywage.com to have money for my fabulous Cancun 2nd Honeymoon coming soon. I have forced commitment on myself and I am making this happen. I WILL BE 50, FIT AND FABULOUS!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/03 199.6 - Already down a couple lbs of water weight from the weekend fun. Bringing lunches to work makes it easy. Coworker is joining me for 30 days of keto.

04/04 197 - Looks like I'm still on track with losing the initial water weight. I know it'll slow down, but it's encouraging to see this right now.

04/05 197.4 - The usual uptick. I'm annoyed, but I need to remind myself that the upticks happen and as long as the trend is downward, it'll be fine. I just hate how hard it is on these meds.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/03: 197.4 (A slight decrease, which is awesome! I did a core workout and made some vegetable soup with grilled cheese last night. I was so exhausted that I went to bed early. My energy level has been at a decline this week and I'm not sure why!)

04/04: 196.2 (This is a great drop! I haven't been this weight since November of 2015! I've restarted many many times, but at that time I went through a breakup in February of 2015 and lost wayyyy too much in an unhealthy way. I'm more motivated than ever and I hope it continues! Last night I did a 20 minute HIIT elliptical workout and ate some Cuban chicken, black beans and rice!)

04/05: 195.2 (I’m literally in shock! I didn’t do a workout last night and had steak with rice and peas for dinner. We also went to a celebration of life and I had a tiny bit of treats but nothing too crazy. I lost 1.8 pounds since last Friday and I’m thinking I’ve been overestimating calories? We’ll see if this trend continues since I have it set to 1.5 pounds a week.)

Day/Weight/Comment
04/02 …..191.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

04/03 …..189.6 ….. Those bits & pieces of calorie deficit & low carb each day finally added up to over a pound loss on the scale. Now I just need to stay focused. 1059 Calories In/2865 Calories Out. 8 Net Carbs. 17,881 Total Steps with a busy work day & a planned long walk. 8.56 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 54 minutes. I took a long moderately paced walk totaling 150 minutes. I did not eat back my 717 Calorie burn for the walk. Another busy day at work. I must take the time to pre-plan my food so I don’t “grab & go”. That always ends in a nighttime binge & an overall disaster. Not today, nope, not today. Determined.

04/04 …..188.8 ….. More improvement. Such a busy work day yesterday with no time for planned exercise, but I was on my feet a lot for sure! Today will be even busier. I started spring cleaning in one of the cabins. EVERYTHING comes out, including furniture. Wall washing today! Yesterday’s stats: 1234 Calories In / 2601 Calories Out. 13,188 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . Today I will go back to 16:8 in fasting as I was working on a metabolism reset. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 13 minutes. Yesterday was another good eating day which paid off!

04/05 …..189.8 ….. Just not good at all. Worked physically hard yesterday but mostly not a lot of walking. Spring cleaning a cabin which I will complete today. Horrible stats for yesterday due to a binge late night. Best estimate on MFP food journal: 2340 Calories In / 2549 Calories out. 201 Net Carbs. 10,130 Total Steps & 4.31 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 6 minutes which was probably a sugar crash. This is how it works & no amount of wishful thinking or regret can change it. Only I can through my actions. I’ll never give up.

Round 72: -8.4
Round 71: +0.2
R73 SW: 232.1
Goal: a loss for round 73

04/03 232.6 . Whole family is working on our sleep hygiene. Think benefits for me could be reduced stress and fatigue which lead to emotional eating. Went to bed early last night but did not sleep well. Have a habit of stopping for a 32 oz iced tea on the way home from work and this is likely sabotaging my sleep quality.

04/04 232.1 Didn't have any caffeine yesterday! Wasn't feeling well last night. Think I have a recurring ulcer.

04/05 232.6 (forgot to weigh before breakfast) Had a rare lunch meeting at a restaurant yesterday. Very hard for me to guess the calorie content. Started listening to the “Losing 100 Pounds with Phat and Phit” podcast and enjoying it so far. I have a 40 min commute and have my main opportunities to overeat in the evening, so listening to a health podcast might help keep me focused on my goals.

R72 SW: 213.4 EW: 210.9 AW: 212.0 (-0.4)

Day/Weight/Comment
04/03--211.6 Great workout with trainer yesterday. Yoga tonight. I'm also supposed to go out and do a 2 mile run, but there is rain in the forecast and I hate running on a treadmill...whether I go out for a run will be a last minute decision.
04/04--211.4 Rain held out yesterday so I was able to go out for a run. Worked out with trainer tonight.
04/05--211.2 About 1 year ago my husband promised to take dance lessons with me. For the past year he has tried to get out of his promise, but I recently found an intro 4 week dance class that I thought would be perfect for us because it's only 4 weeks and we get to learn a different dance every week. My husband agreed to take the class and tonight is our first lesson...we'll see how it goes.

What style dancing are you doing?
For 30 years my husband refused to come to dancing lessons with me saying it wasn't his thing! Then 10 years ago he surprised me at Christmas by finding out about totally beginner ballroom and Latin dance lessons, just 45 minutes once per week. I was totally gobsmacked! We went, we both enjoyed it and we've been doing it ever since.
It's so nice to be able to get up and do a waltz or quickstep etc at weddings and family parties.
So hope you both enjoy it xx.
