10/19

I only include the last 5 rounds, but have been doing these challenges since round 58. Still trying to get into the 130's. It is proving to be a lot tougher than I ever imagined, but I am going to continue trying. Maybe we will do it this next 10 days!

Goal: No weight higher than 144.9 and see 140/141 at least 50% of the time on the scale.


Round 87: 148.2 - 143.6 down 4.6 Avg 143.73
Round 88: 143.6 - 147.0 up 3.4 Avg 145.84
Round 89: 147.0 - 143.7 down3.3 Avg 144.99
Round 90: 143.7 - 140.9 down 2.8 Avg 142.68
Round 91: 140.9 - 143.6 up 2.7 Avg 143.62

10/10 - 142.9 I am slightly annoyed this am. I have been really good, even through my 3 day weekend. I should be lower than this. I guess I will just keep going and hopefully I see a whoosh sometime in the near future. It seems like I can not get past 142/143 for the life of me. My maintenance is within 5 pounds of where I am today, but at the rate I am going I may not be there till next year, lol. Maybe tomorrow I will see a nice drop, I am on track for today and not going to self sabotage. This is just the way it goes sometimes.

10/11 - 141.4 Nice little drop. My lowest last week was 141.5 for 2 days and 140.9 for 3 days the week before that, so maybe I can hold onto it this time. Really going to try and work hard this weekend. My daughter is having her wisdom teeth out this morning and then I have to work this afternoon, so it's just going to be one of those days. No fast food! No fast food! That will be my goal today.

10/12 - 142.3 I’m ok with this. Had a couple of drinks last night with dinner, but food was on point. So this should go back down as long as I stay on track today. The weekends are my downfall. I only ate 310 calories all day yesterday until dinner because I knew I was going to have a couple of drinks with our meal. So I should have still been within my limits.

10/13 - 143.6 This is the rest of last night I guess. Will try and stay on track this weekend. Making myself be really good the rest of the month to lose these last couple of pounds.

10/14 - 142.8 Not bad for a Monday weigh-in. My best one so far. Halfway through this round and so far I am feeling really good about my progress. I have pretty much stayed the same and not had any crazy fluctuations. We will see what happens the next couple of days. I really am expecting a good loss soon.

10/15 - 142.3 Was under calories again. Having some TMI issues this morning, so maybe that's why I am stalling. I have been working really hard to see a nice drop the last couple of weeks, but have just been stuck within the same couple of pounds. I miss the days where I would get a 1 or 2 pound drop in a 10 day challenge. Now it seems like it is a couple of ounces here and there. Granted that was 40 pounds ago, but a nice big whoosh would be amazing. Oh well, I guess I should be happy that I am so close to my goal weight and just keep working at it. Maybe tomorrow I will see a new low.

10/16 - 140.9 Finally! Back down to my lowest weight and what I ended last month on. Have had to fight to get back down to it. Was under calories again yesterday, but did have 2 light beers with dinner. Really wanting to break through and see a new low. On track for today and hoping to be good tonight. 3 more days to go, fingers and toes crossed!

R89 SW: 221.0 ~ EW: 213.6 (-7.4)
R90 SW: 213.0 ~ EW: 211.0 (-2.0)
R91 SW: 211.0 ~ EW: 220.1 (+9.1)
R92 SW: 219.4 ~ EW:

THE PLAN: (no matter what) is to stretch/rebound daily, weight conditioning (including body weight exercises) 4-7/10 days, Walking 30+ mins 5-8/10 days, prepare most meals 6-8/10 and try to keep mixing it up! I need to remember it's a lifestyle not a diet, and get back to creating new habits.

10/10 ~ 219.4 - Checked all the boxes, w/ total 85 mins exercise / 896 cals burned
10/11 ~ 217.2 - 1st woosh in weeks! (s/r, walking and belly work; 47 mins / 432 cals)
10/12 ~ 215.9 - feeling lazy after late night; gonna have to push not to sit on my assets all day.

10/13 ~ 215.6 - REST DAY. Checked all the boxes yesterday (115 m / 781 cals), but was too sore to do anything other than stretch today. Meeting friends later and will try to make good choices, but definitely having @ least one glass of wine. Have a great week all!

10/14 ~ 216.2 - dinner cancelled last night so got some exercise (50 mins / 314 cals) and prepared all my meals. However in lieu of alcohol, ruined it w/ too many chips and chocolate LNS watching the last 3 Power episodes!!!! Got in a great 50min HIIT workout and plenty of movement today to make up for it though!

10/15 ~ 215.9 - was hoping for a bigger drop, but been eating higher amounts of sugar than usual past few days ... totally feel like I'm PMSing but w/out the flow.

10/16 ~ 216.7!! - bloated for no good reason. Because of lack of sleep? Tired and cranky but (15 mins s/r and 20 min walk)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 -207.2 When I woke up this morning the heaviness in my gut from eating something that I was sensitive to was mainly gone. So I'm not surprised that there was a drop on the scale this morning. My gut is not 100%, but it definitely feels much better. I'm proud of myself that over the last few days when I wasn't feeling great, I still stuck with my diet and exercise even though I didn't want to. Workout with strength coach was tough yesterday. It's supposed to be a great sunny fall day today, so plan is to go for a run after work.
10/11 -207.6 Went to the gym this morning and got my run in yesterday. I had a great salad for lunch today.
10/12 -207.6
10/13 -207.6 Yesterday I took the dog out for a quick trail hike before going to meet the in-laws for lunch. We went out for pizza and I had 1/2 of the pizza for lunch and took the rest home for dinner. We then went out for dessert and I had a great piece of gf olive oil cake. Going to see strength coach today and may see a movie later...no popcorn!
10/14 -207.6 Wow, same weight for 4 days in a row. Went out for a great 5.5 mile trail walk with hubby and the dog today. It was a gorgeous crisp, sunny fall day with the leaves changing colour. My husband is baking apple tartlets today.
10/15 -207.6 Day 5 at this weight. A part of me is fascinated to see how long the scale can stay at this weight and the other part is frustrated. I may go out and do my C25K tonight depending on if the weather holds up, rain is supposed to start tonight and last for the next couple of days. I'm going for my body fat scan today, it's been four months since the last one, so it should be interesting to see the results especially since the scale appears to be stuck.
10/16 -207.0 There's the change. Strength coach tonight.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 -181.4 – Halfway to the top of my goal range! That’s just the motivation I need this round as work demands ramp up and it gets harder to fit in the things I need to do to stay on track. Student conferences ate up most of my time today, but I fixed a few quick meals to stay within my calorie limits.
10/11 – 180.8 – Nice to see a drop going into the weekend. Heading off for a quiet weekend of hiking and wineries with my husband. Leaving my computer at home and bringing a novel from my long TBR list.
10/12 – DNW – Watkins Glen, NY. Walked down the North Ridge (Indian Trail) and up the 832 steps of the Gorge Trail in light rain, carrying a daypack, without much difficulty. Three years ago, I was getting winded just walking up to my third-floor classrooms! I think I earned my winery lunch 😊
10/13 – DNW – Gorgeous autumn day! Got up early to hit the Gorge Trail again before the crowds. Cut over after the waterfalls and looped down on the South Ridge. After lunch (and another winery), we walked the Ravine and Gorge Trails in the Finger Lakes National Forest. No big waterfalls, but we had the trails virtually to ourselves. Worked up an appetite – I’m sure I ate (and drank) back all my exercise calories!
10/14 – DNW – Travel day. Up before dawn to get back in time for my afternoon class. Feeling a little stiff, but my DH drove most of the way and I enjoyed watching the sunrise over the misty countryside. Feeling restored!
10/15 – 185.0 – Whoa! That’s some bounce! Salt? Alcohol? Inflammation? Probably some of each, plus eating over my calorie allowance for a few days. Back on track this morning to turn this around. Catching up on posts and grading as well. NSV: wearing my tees tucked in without feeling self-conscious 😊
10/16 – 183.0 – Headed back down. We’re getting some badly needed rain today, so I’m focusing on getting some grading done. Logging and calorie goals met.

Round 90: 5¾lbs (19st 1lb)
Round 91: 7½lbs (18st 7½lb)

ROUND 92
Goal: 5lb loss.

10th October: 18st 6¾lb (¾lb loss) Feeling great! Finished week 6 of couch to 5k with a 25minute run. 💪 Honestly if you guys knew me you'd never have thought I could do it! I never thought I could. I'm so enjoying it too which is such a surprise!
11th October: 18st 5¾lb (1lb loss) So happy to see that lb loss but suspect it's a fake out - skipped my evening meal last night because my kids were so unsettled. By the time I got the opportunity to eat it was after 9pm and I couldn't be bothered. I think I can expect a wee bump tomorrow.
12th October: 18st 6lb (¼lb gain) There it is! No matter, I can cope with that. Onwards and downwards.
13th October: 18st 6lb (no change) I can't explain this. I was under on calories and jogged for half an hour yesterday. Disappointing.
14th October: 18st 6lb (no change) Umm..!! I will be going jogging tonight. Hoping that will give me a boost to get past this little ledge I'm stuck on. Fingers crossed.
15th October: 18st 6¾lb (¾lb gain) I can't even pretend to understand. 25min jog yesterday, under on calories, good choices. I'm feeling very frustrated. Literally back where I started on day one of this round.
16th October: 18st 8¾lb (2lb gain) 🤷‍♀️
17th October: 18st 7lb (1¾lb loss) Eight days in and I'm finally back to my starting weight for this round. 🙄 I'm so disappointed and baffled.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10 - 68,7 - DOMS today. Feeling fresh and happy. I am going to bump up my cals by 100 because that would reflect what I want to achieve in the long run a bit better. I am planning on having a chill day today and just walking for 1 hour.
10/11 - 68,8 - Still retaining water I think. This is what I find most difficult to mindfully deal with. But you get used to it as time goes on and as your mindset shifts... And a big part of looking at it 10 days’ at a time, and seeing the difference round after round IS what made me join in the first place. Great, I’m back on a mindful track :-)
10/12 - 68,5 - had a last minute dinner invite yesterday, ate pretty well throughout the day and worked out. Everything’s fine with me :-) on track and happy :-)
10/13 - 68,3 - It’s the weekend and I am out and about. Walked 3 hours yesterday. This loss was to be expected :-) Still trying to find a calorie target to match a loss of 250gr, but the unpredicted walks make it hard to do so. I think after 30 days of data I will have a bigger picture perspective and see what correlates and what doesn’t.
10/14 - 68,0 - whoop whoop. I didn’t walk nor had any workout yesterday, ate well, still hiking up the calories slowly and trying to find balance with general activity. Worked out and walked today.
10/15 - 68,1 - good insight into the small up and downs. Ate a lot more than usual yesterday to make up for the day’s activity. And I was still hungry after my meals. I think I am low on veggies and my macros were not as balanced. So today grocery shop and bulking up my meals with more veggies and fats mmmhhhh....(Carbs and protein are on point - i.e. high :-))
10/16 - 67,9 - alright! Gotta up the calories from now on :-) love this new approach I have. It’s definitely because things are going where I want them to, and I am sure there will be bad and hard times along the way but right now, I am enjoying it fully :-) + worked out today
10/17 - 67,9 - happy with that :-)

]Hi.. I'm in again.

Starting weight: 139.25lbs.
Aim for this round. To see 137 on the scales....
Good luck everyone!!

10th Oct: 139.25. Same as yesterday. Happy enough with that. 16K steps and within calories. Piloxing tonight and have all my food pre planned.

11th Oct: 139.75. Totally deserve this increase. Had a great day in work but got him and binged. Involving croissants, bread and jam and fist fulls of roasted peanuts. Im sure there were other things too that I blocked out. It would have been SO easy to go to bed feeling sorry for myself but I pulled myself together and went to piloxing and finished the day on 16k steps. So overall, I cant be too mad at todays weigh in!
12th Oct:138.25. Don't know where this came from. Went out for Indian food and to a play last night and had wine.
13th Oct:141.5. There we go, there's the increase from Friday night.
14th Oct: 141.75. Back on a mission today. Aim to drink loads of water and flush all this Indian food and wine out of me! Piloxing classes not going ahead for this week so it'll be extra challenging to get my steps in.
15th Oct: 140.25. Delighted with this drop. Good day yesterday. 16k steps. Good day planned for today too. Not sure if I'll meet my goal of seeing 137 on the scales this round though.
16th Oct: 138. Thrilled with this drop. Got 12k steps in. Had a funny belly but still ate my 1700 calories. 3 more days to try meet my goal of seeing 137 on the scales!
17th Oct: 138.25. No reason for slight increase. Stayed within cals and 16k steps.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10 – 144 – Nice way to start the round!
10/11 – 143.5 – Considering my water intake was not great yesterday, I am really happy with this weight. My work snacks this week of grapes and cherry tomatoes seems to be keeping me on track.
10/12 – 144.5
10/13 - 146
10/14 – 146.5 – Very little water this weekend, along with a lot more sodium does not make for a great Monday weigh in. However, I’ve got my grapes and cherry tomatoes ready for the week along with plenty of water.
10/15 – 146.5 – I was hoping for a drop, but my muscles are pretty sore from a workout yesterday and my rings were still tight on my fingers when I got up this morning. No workout tonight and more water today will hopefully bring down the water weight.
10/16 – 145.5 – I’m glad it’s down, but I still have a ways to go before the weekend.
10/17 – 145 – Finally back to my starting weight and within maintenance. I had just finished telling my husband that I was going to stay vigilant this weekend so I can start dropping back to my trend weight of 142 when we found out we’re going to have an unexpected out of town visitor this weekend. I’ll do my best, but enjoying a night or two out with a loved one is more important than a few pounds dropping right away.

Goal this round: Continue eating better (mindful, if nothing else), continue my Nike Run Club training for 5k, add in strength training to help with running, work on drinking my kombucha and green tea, as well as foods good for lowering cholesterol, so I can lift the "high" flag on my bloodwork!

10/17 - 161.8 - I have been blessed with a horrid sinus infection. It really started hitting me about midday yesterday. Didn't end up running. Not going to today, either. Feels like a baseball is shoved behind my nose. Woke up in the worse pressure pain I've felt at about 1am this morning and was up for about 2 hours before I found my heating sack and warmed it up to sleep with it on my face (over nose and eyes, not mouth) which finally allowed some sleep. I'm at work, but, depending how I progress through the day, I may leave early to go get some rest. I have soup here at work to eat. Forgot my water bottle so I'm going to have to be walking a bit more to fill up my coffee cup with water instead (have 32oz bottle sitting at home, only have 8oz mug at work now). Going to be drinking a lot of hot tea in hopes the warmth will break up some of the pressure. Goal for today is just to survive and maybe reach my step goal of 7,000.

10/12 – 125.4 – Women’s small group last night. Ate some stuff that I probably shouldn’t have, but I did limit my portions.
10/13 – 126.8 – Had a bad food day from the beginning. Tailgate party last night and I didn’t watch what I ate at all.
10/14 – 126.4 – Did ok with food, more snacks/sweets than I should have though. Haven’t been tracking my calories this weekend and need to get back to that today. Had a stressful/emotional night last night. Between those 2 things I am trying to get myself together this morning.
10/15 – 126.8 – I think this is still from this past weekend, had a pretty good food day yesterday.
10/16 – 126.4 – Back down, but I really don’t want to keep bouncing back and forth here.

Round 92 (my 24th)

OSW 382.0
RSW 285.8

Late this round brings tom so I expect that my weight will be all over the place. My goal for this round is to stay on track and hopefully end lower than I started. I’m well on track to hit my goal for weight loss this year.

10/10 286.2 I have no idea what caused this bounce, but they happen like that on occasion. I had a busy, stressful evening, so I suspect that played a part. My nsv is that some of my pants are getting lose and I realized yesterday that they are no longer a little tight in the thighs. I might have to replace them sooner than I anticipated.

10/11 286.0 I expected a bounce up from a late dinner, high sodium and a dumbbell workout. I’m taking a rest day today because of doms in my leg.

10/12 285.6 I was hopeful of a bigger drop, but I’ll take it, especially since I didn’t bounce up yesterday. I think I was a little dehydrated again yesterday because I drank about 50oz of water at dinner time and my leg stopped bothering me and my energy level went up. I must not be drinking enough for my activity level lately.

10/13 285.8 It’s my usual pre tom stall/bounce.

10/14 287.0 Not too bad considering that I had a big lunch yesterday. On the plus side of that I wasn’t very hungry at dinner time so I ate pretty low then allowing me to end the day at the high end of my calories. My nsv was walking to and from the burger place. In the past a walk like that would have left me wiped out and/or in pain but I came home and did 30 minutes on my exercise bike and another 15 later in the evening.

10/15 286.6 Tom arrived yesterday afternoon so hopefully I’ll see some good drops soon.

10/16 286.0 Slowly but surely dropping, hopefully tomorrow brings a new low.

10/10 -188.4- Finally got a good night's sleep last night. Still eating well and walking though I can see walking outside is going to be a challenge as the temps drop. I do plan to keep it up and just layer on the clothes to keep warm. I am finding that being outside helps me mentally as well as physically.

10/11 -187.3- Moving steadily along but my husband will be on vacation next week and, well, he is not into eating healthy so wish me luck!

10/12 -188.1- Still on track with calories and exercise. Still trending downward!
