Frozen Lean Cuisine for lunch and Taco Tuesday for dinner. Planning a new chicken and asparagus meal for dinner tomorrow, I'm excited for it!

Chicken and asparagus was very tasty! I did succumb to some late night snack cravings, but tomorrow is another day.

As much as I enjoy cooking, I also enjoy the simplicity of leftover days.

As far as eating goes, this has been a bad week. Coworker ordered in McDonald's for lunch, then when I got home my fiance was craving a Friday Fish Fry. Ended the day well over my calorie limit. I logged it all though so I'm counting that as a win at least. Drinking a lot of water to offset all the sodium and we don't have any plans for the weekend so I'm going to try to cook some this weekend and be better in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.

11/23 187.8
Calories: under by 58
Long day at work so I didn't get to eat lunch until around 3pm (I skip breakfast so I was really hungry by the time I ate). Some friends came into town for a football game so we met up with them later. I ate dinner before we went out so I wasn't tempted to get any of the fried food with massive amounts of butter and oil.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/18 …..185.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/19 …..185.8 ….. A very good day yesterday. I was hoping for another drop on the scale but it maintained. Got to this weight on a whoosh so I guess I have to let it get comfortable before it moves down again. Yesterday’s stats: 1004 Calories In / 2780 Calories Out. 40 Net Carbs. 21,201 Total Steps & 8.97 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 12 minutes. I walked at 3.25 mph for 97 minutes doing school-hall walking and I walked for 32 minutes at 3.0 mph with a planned walk around my property. Total extra calorie burn 750. I prep cooked yesterday a bit. I have invited my cousin & his son over for a Mexican dinner tonight. I will be mindful. Good luck everyone on this round. The progress I am seeing from all of you is phenomenal!

11/20 …..184.6 ….. I am thrilled with the scale reading but feeling a bit guilty about it and feeling, also, that I don’t deserve to be rewarded for bad behavior. Made a nice Mexican dinner for my visiting family (hunting season) and ate handfuls of those chocolate tipped candy corn I had on the table for them while I was cooking. I ended up with a teeny tiny dinner to make up for it. Thankfully, all the protein in chicken quesadillas and ground beef & bean tostadas have lots of protein so at least I wasn’t hungry when I went to sleep! I won’t do that again anytime soon, though. It skewed my general low carb plan but the calories were okay. Yesterday’s stats: 1153 Calories In / 2829 Calories Out. 133 Carbs (ouch!). 19,172 Total Steps & 8.11 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours (due to dinner guests) and I slept 4 hours & 25 minutes waking up refreshed. I walked at 3.5 mph for 101 minutes at the school, and I walked 32 minutes at 3.0 at home for a total of 809 extra burned calories. Better choices today is what is on the menu! I’m thankful to God for shining down on my scale.

11/21 …..186.8 ….. A little too much indulgence with visiting family but activity was very good. Yesterday’s stats: 1826 In / 3172 Calories Out. 210 Carbs. 25,480 Total Steps & 10.82 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 2 hours & 3 minutes due to tummy aches from food overload. Lesson Learned. They are still visiting until Sunday, but I won’t do that again on that level! I fit in a lot of exercise during their two hunting sessions. I walked for 97 minutes burning 523, I walked for 59 minutes burning 324, I walked for 40 minutes burning 177 and I danced for 19 minutes burning 118. Sample song- “Centerfold” by J. Geils”. Total extra calorie burn 1142.

11/22 …..185.6 ….. I tried to “shake it up” a bit yesterday to speed up my recovery on the scale and it worked. Less planned exercise but I did take one long walk (2 hours). In diet, I ate lower carb and calorie than I have been lately and made each bit count with GOOD HEALTHY choices. Yesterday’s stats: 1030 Calories In / 2926 Calories Out. 21 Net Carbs. 22,028 Total Steps & 9.32 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 7 hours & 49 minutes to make up for the night before. Wonderful! I took a 2 hours walk in the school halls for an extra burn of 699. Have a great weekend everyone!

11/23 …..185.2 ….. A bit over on carbs from an invited lunch at a friend’s house, but all is well. Scale is down 0.4 because I remained diligent the rest of the day and got in some movement & exercise, even on a busy day! Yesterday’s stats: 1400 Calories In / 2871 Calories Out. 86 Net Carbs. 22,215 Total Steps & 9.4 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 14 minutes & woke up feeling good. I rigorously cleaned tourist cabins for 23 minutes, walked at the school for 129 minutes at about 3.5 mph and I danced for 27 minutes. Sample song “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson. Total extra calorie burn was 1078. Dinner tonight at a friends. Shish Kabobs are on the menu which should be in line with my dietary plan.

11/24 …..185.0 ….. Yay! Another small drop. Yesterday’s stats: 1235 Calories In / 2733 Calories Out. 24 Net Carbs. 17,144 Total Steps & 7.25 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 54 minutes. I rigorously cleaned a tourist cabin for 27 minutes burning 121 cals & I walked for 71 minutes burning 387 cals. Total extra calorie burn 508. More time socializing and less time exercising, but that does a body good too!

19: 205 Nice start to the round 🙃
20: 204.3
21: 204.5 Fitbit says TOM tomorrow. Expecting I'll see a drop in a couple of days, as it's my usual pattern with hormone shifts.
22: 203.4 Pretty sure this isn't hormone related, but with the timing it could be. @tiabirdie56 It really seems to be! I've done LCHF before with success, but cutting out grains and sugar completely is doing wonders. I feel better than I have in a very long time.
23: 202.6 ♀️ And there's the drop. Exactly 1 pound to my 40-pound milestone. Tomorrow is my partner's birthday, so we're going out for a late lunch and early movie today. I feel pretty confident about navigating my food intake though. After the movie, we'll be going to a few stores for errands, so I should also be able to get some decent steps in. If nothing else, I'll let him peruse Menard's while I walk laps. Wouldn't be the first time. Lol
24: 201.9 ♀️ Even better than I expected! Did great with food, but didn't wander through any large stores.

EW round 95: 114.4, BF% 27.3


11/19 113.6, BF% 27.1 Starting to recover from the weekend bump! Good strength workout + cardio today, but sore from squats and bench press so hopefully DOMS doesn’t drive the numbers up!. Calories/macros on target. NSV - made chicken Banh Mi sandwiches for dinner with pickled vegetables. Nice to be able to enjoy Trader Joe’s ciabatta rolls on the strength days with extra calories!

11/20 112.6, BF% 26.9 Yeah!!!! Back to low from last round! Hopefully can hang out here around the rest of the challenge. Lighter cardio after work today.

11/21 112.0, BF% 26.7 New low! (and goal for 10 day challenge - plenty of time with weekend though to mess up lol!) Strength day and cardio + higher calorie day (penne with duck sausage & smoked mozzarella for dinner]

11/22 111.4, BF% 26.5
11/23 111.2, BF% 26.4

11/24112.0, BF% 26.7 Catching up on posting! This is my usual weekend bump - ate out Friday night + wine, ate at home last night but over on wine. Still great progress as down 2.4 lbs from last round and at goal for this round! If anything it might bounce up a bit more before stabilizing, but should settle down in 1-2 days with exercise/workouts. XTtrain class this morning for cardio and will go back to gym later this afternoon for weights/strength.

Goal for this round is to get my average down by any number. I’m working on building lean muscle while blasting fat, so my scale isn’t moving much right now. But one of these days it’s gonna do a dive.

11/24- 148.4 lol post spin class weight- I’ll take it!!!! I’ve been bouncing between 147-155 for months now so the scale doesn’t get me too excited. What does have me excited is how far I’m pushing myself in the gym.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 – 176.6 – It’s always nice to see a drop at the start of a round. Tuesday is my busiest day this semester, but a workshop and a last-minute commitment made this an especially tough one. No time to walk, but I met my calorie goals.
11/20 – 176.6 – Took my daughter out to lunch today for a little "mom TLC." She hit a deer on the highway last night and, although she wasn't injured, she was tired and shaken. She's also without a car. No walk and over on salt, sugar, and calories. I won’t be surprised to see a bounce in the next couple of days, but that's okay. Back on track tomorrow.
11/21 – 177.2 – As predicted, there’s that bounce. Small, but motivating. I stayed on track and met my goals today, including the walk. I had to really push myself to go, but the park was lovely in the hour before dusk and before long I could feel the tension dissolve.
11/22 – 177.2 – Rainy day, so I did some household chores before picking my grandsons up from school. Opened a bottle of wine for the grown-ups and made a salad to go with the kids’ choice of take-out for an easy dinner. Bacon pizza and pinot noir put me over my goal (but still under maintenance). With all the holiday prep ahead, it was a relaxing start to a busy weekend.
11/23 – 176.2 – Surprised to see a drop today, but hey, I’ll take it!. Walked in the park with my husband and then we split up the chores. He put the Christmas lights up outside and I got the fun job of cleaning out the fridge and the big freezer in the garage. Watching a whole lot of ice cream melt in the sink was a lesson in how my eating habits have changed – for the better! Now I just have to adjust my shopping habits. Met my calorie goal even with an extra glass of wine and a small piece of chocolate. Overall, another good day, but I'm wiped out! I'll catch up with all your posts tomorrow
11/24 – 176.6 – Trying to avoid putting more stuff in the fridge this week left me with an odd assortment of things to use up, so today’s meals were less well-balanced than I’d have liked. Over on calories, carbs, and salt. Ah, well…at least I stayed under maintenance calories. On the upside, I also made a minimally sweetened four-berry syrup with fruit I’d frozen this summer. It should make a gorgeous brunch cocktail mixed with prosecco next weekend 😊
