Day/Weight/Summary of previous day:

12/19: Did not weigh in this morning, just forgot to and probably for the best because I've eaten a little more than I probably should have over the last couple days. Hoping to get back on track today. I've been so very hungry though, guessing it's the added strength training.

12/20: 134.0 - not surprised, could have been worse. Right back on track this morning. But I know we are eating out tomorrow night and will have to make good choices. It's going to be hard, we are going to my favorite Thai restaurant, a real treat.

12/21: (my birthday!) 133.4 lbs - We ate lunch out with friends yesterday and it did not sit well with me at all, didn't eat the rest of the day. Still feeling a little queasy this morning. Will try to make good choices today, there will be some celebrations and lots of my favorite foods. Will just plan to put aside half or more to take home. I don't really want any sweets but the family does so I might have a bite of something. Worked out legs and shoulders yesterday and then played 2 hours of pickleball, my elbow/wrist felt pretty good - I'm trying out a new brace combo that seems to be working. Playing again today.

Day/Weight/Comment

12/19-205.6 Yesterday I told my strength coach that I want to do a Spartan Race next year. He was very excited...it scared me a little.
12/20--205.0 Went into work late today and went to the gym. It is pouring rain here today, so I plan and hanging out at home this evening
12/21--205.9 Still pouring rain out this morning, so no running for me. I'm going to run around to do some errands this morning, and hopefully miss all of the Christmas shoppers.

I’M BACK ON TERRA FIRMA! The cruises had some bumps since it’s a new HUGE ship but overall I enjoyed it! No scale and lots of food for 12 days. I was fairly good but did eat bread every night at dinner. We’ll see what the scale says in the morning. I do feel bloated. Back with the program when we get home in a couple of hours!

Round 99:
Female, 58 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 105 - 110.0 lbs and BF 23-25% (or lower, we’ll see :-)
STG: 110 (maintain), BF <26%

Goals for 10 Day Challenge: stay at or below 110 !!! (maintain)

Day/Weight/Comment
EW round 98: 110.6, BF 26.3%

Day/Weight/Comment

12/19 110.4, BF 26.3% A tiny drop for the start of the round! Hoping to get back to the low of last round (ended on a gain) before the holidays, but that will be challenging with the weekend ahead!!! Went to step class this morning and had some time before meeting the trainer so did a 20 minute FTP test on the spin bike to see power on the bikes there - interesting that the numbers between gyms are so different (about 75 watts). Will focus on relative improvements, although a watt should be a watt... Had session with trainer and arms and glutes are definitely sore now! Calories are good for the day, although over on fat and under on carbs.

12/20 110.2, BF 26.2% Another drop in the right direction! Hope to maintain this over the weekend (need to watch sodium, wine, calories!!!) but no plans for eating out so that should help!!! Spin class today and maybe a couple of targeted chest/leg exercises for muscle groups that have recovered from strength training Tuesday!!!

12/21 110.4, BF26.3% up a little but still within rounding error of 110 :-) so will take it as maintenance! Was sore all over from weights yesterday, and feel “puffy” in shoulders and quads so likely some water retention with DOMS. Plus the dill pickle flavored potato chips probably did not help in the sodium department as LNS (managed to not eat them during dinner!). Light gym day to recover and taking care of last minute Xmas shopping!

Day/Weight/Comment

12/19 - 146 (BF 33.4%, MM 62.8%) - After a lot of stress during work, I folded and ate a peanut butter blossom yesterday along with a few other goodies scattered around the office. I took tomorrow off work as my family is taking me to see "Christmas Vacation" with a live appearance from Chevy Chase for my birthday tomorrow and I also have to renew my driver's license. I'm going to fudge the number and put 140 lbs. and make that my goal for next year...for my weight to match my license. Last year when my weight went below my driver's license weight of 160 lbs. (and I had fudged that one!) I wanted to run down to the BMV and get a new one, but in Ohio, we only renew every 4 years.
12/20 - 145
12/21 - 148.5 - Well, I had a LOT of fun on my birthday! I'll try to really watch my calories the next few days until Christmas.

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me. That's it.

Day/Weight/Comment

12/19: 276.4 (-2 lbs) I wasn't expecting to lose any weight, (just stay the same) I'm surprised that I did. Happy with the result,
12/20: 276.2 (-2oz) Ate a little to much yesterday, and didn't meet my goal to stay at or under calorie amount for the day. I still lost 2 ozs. Much better then gaining, will try to do better today. Be more mindful of what goes into my mouth.
12/21: 275 (-1.2 lbs) I did have some sugar cookies that were given to me, but I try to include whatever I eat into my daily calories and try to stay under. Which I managed to do yesterday. I try to keep my meals healthy, and be mindful of what I eat most days. Happy to have lost more weight. I try to stay under what MFP sets for me.
12/22: 272.8 (-2.2 lbs) I think this weight loss is due to my dinner not agreeing with me, upset my tummy yesterday. I think that's the only thing it could be, because I actually ate just a little over 300 calories more than the day before. I was still under calories so I didn't go over.
I'm Happy either way, because it's been a long time since I've been able to get below 275 lbs. Which was my goal for this round. From here on I'll just take it one day at a time and see how it goes.

Still working on my goals, and trying to figure out my exercise routine there are certain things I can't do at this time. I'll do my best to get in shape and be healthy..

Goal Weight 10 Days: 305.6lbs

269lbs was my low point in my 525ish days. Has been a stupidly hard year and had some bloatback + plenty of muscle gains. My muscle vs fat ratio from 307lbs a year+ ago to now is waaaaaaay different though. Still, needed to get myself back on track. Just doing what works for me; steady loss, long term thinking, tracking meals, and exercise.
