Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 – 125.2 – same weight for the 3rd day in a row. I haven’t been the best this weekend, so I might see that in the next couple of days. I am at my goal of 125 but would like to lose just a couple more pounds and maintain between 120-125.
10/01 – 125.2
10/02 – 124.8
10/03 – 124.6 – I have actually been eating a little more the last few days (around 100 calories more) and it seems to have gotten the scale going down again.
10/04 – 124.2!
10/05 – 123.8
10/06 – 124.4 – I’m bad about posting my updates over the weekend, but I do still weigh every day and keep track.
10/07 – 124.8 – Still within my maintenance range. I don’t like the upwards trend, but I know that it’s because I splurged a little too much this weekend.
10/08 – 125.0 – Could still be from this past weekend or because it’s almost TOM

10/1 165.9 Went to the gym and lifted weights, maybe that's the water retention? I haven't lifted in 2 weeks so maybe. I upped the weight on my legs and they are sore this morning! I have errands to run after work, but I hope it will be cool enough after that to get in a walk before dark. I am so ready to be in the 15Xs. My friend Mark that has been staying with me since July 9th is leaving today. I will have my house back and he will be on the next leg of his journey.
Spoiler

10/2 167.2 I had 4 dunker cookies last night right before bed. I didn't have time to walk after the errands. It's supposed to rain today so no walking outside. I think I'll do the treadmill. I haven't eaten enough calories to gain this weight. I'm sure it's water retention. My legs and arms are still sore from lifting.

10/3 166.9 Well that's something at least. I walked 3.25 miles last night, some in the rain. I found a new and interesting trail. I actually found it weeks ago but I've been waiting until my leg would cooperate. It was so nice, not the rain but the walk. I still feel puffy so we'll see what happens in the next few days. I feel I should be around 163 or 164 like I was last week.

10/4 166.7 I've eaten at maintenance the last couple of days. I had too many errands to walk last night. I'm in a bit of a funk over the roommate thing. I'm consumed with guilt for no legit reason. I think maintenance is ok for a week or so. I just need to stay away from sweets and I would be good. That is my comfort food. It took all my strength to not get the hot pumpkin pretzel with cream cheese dipping sauce for breakfast this morning. I don't know how many calories it had but I'm sure I can spend those on healthier choices even on maintenance.

10/5-10/7 166.6 For the last three days. I didn't exercise all weekend. I decided to put off the conversation with my friend until next weekend and instead of giving her 30 days we're going to work on a moving strategy together. She'll never be able to do it alone. This has to be realistic or it won't happen.

10/8 167.1 The slight uptick is sodium. I'm sticking to maintenance for the next week or two. I will continue to track because maintenance is still a restriction compared to my old eating habits.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30- 206.4: Not sure what my weight was yesterday morning, so I ended last round at the weight Saturday morning and going from there. I had a really good weekend, but I wasn't feeling too good. Kind of forgot to eat at some points because I got really busy with stuff. Last night's dinner I did eat healthy with a small mix of some rice and a baked potato, but I'm not super upset about my 1lb gain. I did get into the gym Friday night and I'm going again today.

10/1- 206.2: Not a terrible way to start the new month, but wish I was seeing more loss. Didn't go to the gym yesterday because I was feeling so out of it. Started wearing contacts and they are killing my eyes and making me feel tired. I did push myself to take my dog for a walk, so I got some cardio in. Breakfast and lunch haven't been a problem for me, it's dinner that keeps messing me up. It will be mostly healthy and then one thing on the side is messing me up. I should go back to my baked salmon and just stick to that.

10/2- 205.6: This just made me really happy! I was so worried nothing was going to change. I made it to the gym last night and tried a couple different machines this time; stair climber and the more spinning cycling machine and my usual elliptical. I skipped strength last night and stuck with cardio. I had something in my eye all day and it was bugging me and by the time I was done I just wanted to go home and wash my eyes. I stayed in my cal range (If this app logs poke salads correctly) and Got an ok amount of water in. Thinking I'll hit up Trader Joe's for dinner tonight and make some chicken and a side salad.

10/3- 205.4: Meh. I noticed the days I go to the gym I do see more of a difference in my weight loss the following day. I skipped last night because I got stuck at work and by the time I got home, made dinner, and ate, I was just out of it and felt like I haven't been getting enough sleep. I made Trader Joe's Chicken teriyaki, light on the sauce, and discovered their broccoli slaw! Mixed that all together for dinner and it was delicious. My mom made an amazing pasta Alfredo baked chicken which I had a small piece of, it was just too good. Back in the gym tonight, might try the other gym and get some Jacuzzi time for once.

10/4- 203.8: YAY!!!! I'm so happy to see this loss. I'm also not too surprised. I was really depressed yesterday. Work is taking a toll on me and there's so much on my plate right now. I was overwhelmed and crying at my desk. I was so sad I also hardly ate. Just didn't have much of an appetite at work. I came home and got some Ceder Plank Salmon from Aldi and grilled that with some veggies. I only had a bit and my parents ate the rest. I know I said I would go to the gym yesterday, but I was in such a funk I stayed home and didn't want to talk to anyone. I'm heading to my boyfriends for the weekend so hopefully that will cheer up my mood. I'm also taking my scale with me lol. I know he's going to make fun of me and give me crap, but I know my body and need to see why and when it fluctuates so much when I'm at his house.


10/5- 204.4

10/6- 204.4

10/7- 204.2: I'm so glad I took my scale with my over with weekend. I know I sound obsessed, but I really wanted to monitor how my body changes when at my boyfriends. I did have sushi on Friday (mainly riceless) and a beer, and Saturday we had a birthday at The Black Dear Diner. It was a lot of food, but I didn't have much. I honestly thought I would go up more, but I really tried portioning which helped and I only went up a little bit.
My friend was also in the area yesterday, so we met up for margaritas (I had barely half) and split some apps. I had that as my dinner and glad I portioned. So glad to be going back down, but really need to go back to the gym and keep on track for the week.

10/8- 205: I'm pretty pissed. I was so close to reaching my goal for this challenge. I ate good yesterday and dinner was really light too. I'm mad my parents put their leftovers in my fridge and I was so hungry I ended up having a slice of pizza (minus the crust) I also got in the gym last night and thought I would have at least been the same weight as yesterday. And today has been horrible so far. I woke up late, was running late to work, forgot my wallet at home and had to go back to get it. And there's just so much on my plate at work now and I really feel sick. Need to try to make time to see a doctor. My vision is a mess, so much going on, I really need a break

Goal for this round: 222.0

Day/Weight/Comment

9/30: 224.2 (+0.4)/19.0 (+0.1). Got super busy and did not have time to post.

10/1: 223.6 (-0.6)/18.9 (-0.1). Spent the day at Magic Mountain with my 78-year-old dad. The guy LOVES roller coasters. I was feeling a bit nauseous by the end of the day, partially because I'm still recovering from illness the week before. Still, super-fun day; I walked a ton, and I am pretty sure I was under on calories when considering exercise.

10/2: 224.6 (+1.0)/19.0 (+0.1). My eating has been a bit squirrely the past couple of days. I probably ate twice as much as I "should" have last night, including some dessert. There's been no huge harm done at this point, so I'm going to focus on limiting the duration/intensity of this little "lapse" (meaning, cutting that $#!+ down in its tracks, RIGHT NOW). I am going to the gym tonight to lift weights and do some cardio.

10/3: 224.2 (-0.4)/18.9 (-0.1). Went to the gym last night and lifted weights. Ate okay throughout the day, and I was definitely under my calorie goal.

10/4: 224.4 (+0.2)/19.0 (+0.1). My wife surprised me with one of my favorite meals last night. It was so good... but I don't want to focus on that. I split what she brought me in two, and brought the other half to work with me for lunch. Gym tonight after work.

10/5: 224.0 (-0.4)/18.9 (-0.1). Went to the gym least night. Had leftovers for lunch, which probably wasn't the healthiest option. Going out tonight for sushi on a double date with one of my best friends.

10/6: 225.0 (+1.0)/19.0 (+0.1). Went out for sushi and had about 3 beers over the night. Then I binged at home. No surprise with this weigh-in, but not an emergency either. I want to say that I've been in a bit if a rut, but I think it's really only with the scale. I've been going to the gym 3x/wk pretty consistently, I'm feeling (and looking) stronger, and I am generally feeling a little bit better overall. I'm going to finish strong in this challenge.

10/7: 226.0 (+1.0)/19.1 (+0.1). Hmm. Looks like I went ahead and had a weekend, at least based on the scale. Lunch was questionable, but dinner last night was pretty damned healthy, I think. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I'm still here, and I'll keep working. Went to the gym yesterday, and I felt pretty great. Gym again tomorrow. Stay focused, me. One meal at a time.

10/8: 225.6 (-0.4)/19.1 (0.0). A step in the right direction. I'll take it. I need to remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint. I always seem to get a little bit anxious toward the end of a challenge. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's hard to shake the feeling. Headed to the gym tonight.

Goal: 1 snack in the evening

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30--207.2 Surprised about the slight drop since I'm so sore from my workout yesterday. Plan is to take the dog out for a long walk and to get my water in.
10/01--207.6 I'm disappointed, not in the bump in the scale because that can happen for a number of reasons that are out of my control, but more because I had a second snack yesterday even though I wasn't hungry and even though I had set my goal this round for only one snack. This disappointment is going to encourage me to stick with my goal for the rest of the round. Went out with a short hike with hubby and the dog yesterday, it was a perfect fall day. I'm still sore, so I will probably just take the dog out for an easy walk after dinner.
10/02--207.0 Strength coach today.
10/03--206.7 I'm so sore from my workout yesterday, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bump tomorrow.
10/04--206.7 Went to the gym this morning before work. Didn't get much water yesterday, so goal is to get water in today.
10/05--206.7 I don't think I've ever weighed in at the same weight for3 days in a row. Going to my town's fair/festival and I'll be eating my lunch from the local vendors so I ate a light breakfast and will drink a lot of water. Hoping to get a lot of steps.
10/06--207.8 I was expecting the bump. Went to the festival yesterday and had a great time. I woke up this morning and was so, so thirsty. Going to see strength coach today and will definitely be drinking a lot of water today.
10/07--208.1 Had a great day yesterday...I ate within calories and drank a lot of water, bump up is from salt from 2 days ago but I know it will drop soon. Went out to run C25K today...felt great!
10/08--208.1 I had another great day of eating yesterday. Need to continue with water. No workout planned after work, rest day, and hubby is going out tonight, so a relaxing evening planned with the dog. I may go out and do a trail walk if the weather holds up.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/30 181.5 I’m back, after a stressful week and some weight gain. Although I worked out all week last week I ate more than I burned. Also made a lot of bad choices, it’s a new week and almost a new month. Back to logging my food and meal prep is done for the week.
10/1 180.5 (-1) Off to a good start. Finished 50 minutes of boot amp and getting my 45 minutes of cardio in before work.
10/2 179 (-1.5) Gym at 5am with my awesome accountability partner, broken toe and all! Way to push through.
10/3 179 +/- 0 No change on the scale but It’s a good thing! Always great to start the day at the gym but missing my workout partner.
10/4 178 (-1) Date night with my accountability partner last night and I didn’t cheat! Woke up early for a 5am workout and took progress pics! Can’t wait to see results.
10/5 177 (-1) Workout plans didn’t go as planned this morning but managed get up and burn some calories. The trainer kept yelling “progress not perfection”, sticking to that today.
10/6 177.5 +.5 Sunday Funday workout! My accountability partner said I don’t rest!!!
10/7 177 (-.5) Feeling very tired and sore today. Hoping for a productive day!
10/8 177.5 +.5 The scale keeps going back and forth but my clothes fit so much looser.

Weight still continuing to trend down very nicely 😀 Am taking today off from the gym but will be getting a decent walk in this evening with my bf. Also walked uptown to the pharmacy to grab my meds, then to Tim Horton's and the convenience store. Around 45 mins of walking so far today. More to come. Regardless of the gym I always walk at least 30 mins a day because I love walking, it raises my mood and today is such a lovely sunny fall day! 🍁💛
Eating choices: so far so good! Feeling incredibly well (:
Hope everyone's enjoying their day & continuing to crush it!! Xo 😊❤
