JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 103

stewartkm29 · February 2020

R103

Goal for this round is to continue to work on my eating habits, and be mindful of everything that goes into my mouth.

I've been on this journey a very long time and have lost a lot of weight, and I've kept the majority of it off without gaining it back. I'm looking forward to the day when I finally reach One-derland and I'm no longer obese/overweight,

CGW:. 273
R101: SW 283.8 EW 280 (3.8 lbs loss)
R102: SW 279.4 EW 278.2 (1/2 way through round)

Day/Weight/Comment:

1/28: 275.6 (-2.6 lbs) for a little while I'm limited what I can do physically. As soon as I'm able I'll get back to my workout routine. This is do to health reasons. I'm happy to still be losing.

1/29: NW: left home very early, and just now got back a few minutes.

1/30: 275.2 (-4 oz) Only 4 oz loss. Still a lose is better than gain. Tomorrow is errand and grocery shopping day, and I'm usually gone most of the day. Which means I eat away from home. Here's hoping I make the right decisions, and not be tempted to overdo it.

1/31:DNW

2/01:275.2 (-0.0)

2/02: 275.2 (-0.0)

2/03: 275.2 (-0.0)

2/04: 275.2 (-0.0) Seem to hit a plateau. Not doing to good this week in regards to weight-loss. Hopefully next week will be better.

1/31 DNW 0 miles I've been traveling for work since Tuesday. I was not able to walk or go to the gym, there was no time. Tried to be good and did for the most part, with the exception of sodium. You can stay on track calorie-wise eating out fairly easily if you pay attention, but you can't do anything about sodium. I'll weigh in tomorrow but I'm sure I'm back up, I can tell by the way my rings fit. OH well. My territory will change in March or April. I'll be flying to Phoenix and Albuquerque instead of driving to St. Louis. It will take me some time to get into the new rhythm and find where I walk etc. I did have an issue with altitude sickness yesterday, which freaked me out a little but I know how to deal with it now (I think). It was embarrassing, I was doing a presentation to 15 people and suddenly felt dizzy. First I said, I need to sit down didn't stop then apparently I got very flushed and one of the ladies in the meeting stopped me and said you have altitude sickness. Take this water and go sit in the cool lobby.
Not the best first impression to give my new team. I'm a flatlander to them.

2/1 160.4 0 miles Woohoo 3.5 stinky water weight gone. Sunny and beautiful today, I’m hitting the trail.

2/2 160.7 5 miles Still hovering around this 160 mark. Like I have for the last 2 months. I ate out at Buca di Beppo so the fact that I'm not up is a miracle. GO CHIEFS!!!

2/3 160.4 5 miles I walked ten miles in two days. The weather was unseasonably warm both days. My Chiefs won the Super Bowl. I'm 50 and they last won 50 years ago, so it's a little bit overwhelming. No Super Bowl party for me, just at home with my dogs. I had the leftovers from Buca for dinner and I'm still down. I couldn't fall asleep after all the excitement. Finally knocked out around 2 a.m., but my brain woke up at 5:00. Three hours is not enough. I still plan on walking later but we'll see, I might be too worn out. GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2/4 160.4 0 miles I was soooo tired yesterday I didn't even try to walk. I kinda expected a slight drop but I guess not. I bought my walking stuff today but it might be snowing. Excuses excuses. Happy Tuesday everyone.

EW round 102: 110.6, BF 26.2%

Day/Weight/Comment

01/28 108.2, BF 25.6% Losing weekend bump about as fast as it came on! Discovered website NetNutrition that lists all nutrition info for eateries on campus that lets you build up nutrition info by items for each meal! Good news is that most of my guestimates were within 50 calories of the those on the site. Using Loseit for food diary as MFP kept creating double entries (did not show in phone app) but were imported into Apple Health Kit which made figuring adjusting caloriesand TDEE for this last 5 pounds really hard! I can import all entries from the NetNutrition site with my phone camera quite easily and create my typical meals. Bad news is that my selections for Indian food today at lunch had more sodium than what I typically have in a day (over 2000!). Expect that will have some impact tomorrow… But at least going forward I can preplan lunch before heading out! Exercise good - weights with trainer (sore!) and yoga (am) and plan on cycle after work to help loosen up quads.

01/29 108.6, BF 25.7% pretty good - food retention (got to work on fiber timing/intake so the poop fairy visits before weigh in :-), sodium, and DOMS (BB back squats, BB bench press, cable chops yesterday) but weight within typical daily variation (seriously need to get a foam roller for my office!) Today - cycle class after work followed by kettle bell class from 7-8. Big lunch today (latin bowl) so will be eating a lighter dinner after class as not sure if the format for kettle bells will be circuit or tabata - cannot do a tabata format after eating!!!

01/30 108.0, BF 25.6% Killer cardio yesterday! Did spin class at uni gym, had a protein bar then went to kettle bell class at other gym - only two of us there! Fortunately it was a circuit format, but felt exhausted by the end of it - need to work on situps with the kettle bell and wrist strength on right side so that I can do a clean with a heavier weight for the OH press and not leave bruises on my forearm! Light dinner (ate most calories at lunch), then caught up on email, bath and bed. Too much cardio activity at that hour, however, did not lead to restive sleep (although hope it kept burning fat - lol). Next class is on Monday (tabata) so definitely not doing back to back classes! Except for my bruised arm, feel good today. Last of my workout A for Stage 6 in “Strong” (the 4x4 series), then last B workout on Sunday and will be excited to start Stage 7 next week!

1/31 107.0, BF 25.3% Yeah! Back to weight from last Friday! Moderate evening cycle last night and then refueled on “Caramelized Shallot Pasta” (from recent NYT recipe) and huge green salad. Nice to see a loss after pasta, but calories and exercise were on target! Seafood order for pickup at the Farmer’s Market Saturday is in and have dinners preplanned so as long as I don’t eat lunch out (too much sodium/fat/carbs) and avoid late night snacking on fritos/tortilla chips hope to minimize the weekend bump and stay below 108! (i.e can sometimes do one or the other but not two meals out and LNS). Looking at my typical calorie in/calorie out pattern, I tend to "refeed" on weekends (eat back more exercise calories), which is probably needed, which makes it so more important to look at the longer turn trend.

2/1 109.0, BF 25.8% Kids had BB game last night so did not get home until 8, so later dinner than normal - chicken mushroom stroganoff. did not avoid the LNS with tortilla chips, so may have some water retention. Step aerobics class today so less intense cardio and yoga at home.

2/2 108.8, BF 25.8% Nice to see a drop on the weekend! Overall weight is down 2.8 lb from last Sunday - lots of fluctuations as eating around maintenance calories so good to get use to the range of variability before really going into maintenance. Ate into some of the exercise calories today - went to women’s basketball game and had an impossible burger with fries - ate half of the fries and gave the rest to DH. Dinner was fish tacos at home so overall higher carb day and with eating out for lunch today may see a sodium bump tomorrow.

108.0, BF 25.5% Yeah - back to 108 ! Much better job at “maintaining” over the weekend and keeping weight around 108! Super cycle class this am (was in peak heart rate zone for 46% of the class!). Kettle bell class tonight at 7 - hopefully I will have recovered enough in case the format is a tabata style class!

2/4 107.2, BF 25.3% **One Year Anniversary of this Weight Loss Journey** Hard to believe it has been one year, but made my original goal weight by my birthday in December, had to work on maintaining that, and continue to work on revised goal of 105 (maybe in a month). Rather than weight, my primary goal is reducing body fat (so that may take a year+) via recomp (easing into that and eating at maintenance). I always wondered why people recommended going slower closer to goal (I don;t think it is necessary from a science/weight loss perspective). However it does makes the transition into maintenance a bit easier with the gradual increase in calories and getting use to the variation in weight to expect at maintenance. While I try to keep protein high to support weight training my carb or fat macros are not as consistent day to day, so that and sodium tend to lead to wider fluctuations in water weight day to day. To all out there reading this, keep up the great work and thanks for all of your support along the way!!!

Round 103, 20th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 281.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 279.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

01/28: 282.2 lbs (+1.0) … 6,870 steps. Great start to the round! Oh well, upticks happen… all the time. I’m determined to hit 279 this round.

01/29: 280.5 lbs (-1.7) … 13,107 steps. Right back down close to my previous low. I’m a little surprised as I ate a bit more than usual yesterday. Pushing my activity level a bit more this week -- messed around with Ring Fit Adventure on Switch this morning and am thinking about going on an hour walk at lunch if it’s not too cold out. I’m near the end of my audiobook and that’d be some good listening time.

01/30: 281.0 lbs (+0.5) … 10,773 steps. Another small uptick, but I’m trending in the right direction. Got 13,000 steps yesterday, which is the first time I’ve been over 10k in quite a while. I’ve been slacking. Hoping to take another walk at lunch today if it’s not too cold out -- it’s chillier this morning than it was yesterday.

01/31: 280.7 lbs (-0.3) … 12,350 steps. Holding pretty steady around here, just tiny fluctuations. I’ve been increasing my physical activity this week though -- short morning workouts at home and 2.5 mile walks at lunch for the last few days -- so hopefully I’ll see some results from that soon.

02/01: 281.3 lbs (+0.6) … I was pretty hungry yesterday, so I’m surprised that this uptick isn’t bigger. Pretty happy with it as it is, given how much I ate. Today should be a lighter day food-wise.

02/02: DNW

02/03: 281.7 lbs (+0.4) … Not a great weekend, some poor food choices and I was pretty lazy. Need to get back into gear now.

02/04: 281.6 lbs (-0.1) … Ate a bit lighter yesterday and planning to do better today. Also I should be able to get in my lunch walk today, which should help. I had a meeting over the lunch hour yesterday.

R103 SW 377.8

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 377.8 - The drop continues. IF is definitely working for me. If the rate doesn't naturally slow down, I may have to jump off it occasionally to keep the rate down.
01/29 - 377.6 - A nice, little drop. Bad night of sleep, so I'll take it. Now down 25 lbs. since I started this journey on Nov. 17th.
01/30 - 377.6 - As long as it doesn't rise, I'm ok with that. Might be stress from the job interview.
01/31 - 376.5 - Down one more. Stress from job hunting may be raising my cortisol and slowing my weight loss. I wonder if there's a test for that??? I guess once I find something, we'll see. Still going in the right direction.
02/01 - 376.3 - Still going the right direction.
02/02 - 376.8 - First time since starting IF that weight has gone up. I'm OK with occasional *ups* if the trend is still down. This is all with no exercise of consequence since this congestion from my cold lingers.
02/03 - 375.6 - Back to the drop. Had Belgian waffles for brunch to break my fast @ 16 hours. I was going to try the gym today, but SB kept me up late so...
02/04 - 373.4 - I came really close to my calorie goal for the day, so I don't understand this much of a significant drop. I did go for an after dinner walk, but that shouldn't make this much of a difference.

Goal: Improve Sleep - duration of 7hrs and score above 80; decrease BF; increase MM.

Day/Weight/Comment

1/28 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 6h16m/75 - need to get this sleep issue sorted; I am starting to feel it during the day.
1/29 163.2lbs, 35.2%bf; 7h25m/70 - seriously... need better sleep. Workout this morning should help.
1/30 163.2lbs, 35.3%bf; 8h18m/92 - finally some sleep, but now I appear to be stuck again. Been adding and losing the same half pound, by tenths, for over a week.
1/31 163.8lbs, 35.4%bf; 6h44m/75 - ok, there is nothing good in these numbers. Thank God it's Friday.... gym day, and sleep-in tomorrow!
2/1 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 8h10m/89 - better. This is better... lol
2/2 162.0lbs, 34.9%bf; 8h33m/86 - holy schnikes! I know I will bounce, but please, please, PLEASE let me hang on to this for my weigh in tomorrow!!! I'll take the bounce after 8am Monday, please and thank you....
2/3 161.4lbs, 34.8%bf; 7h59m/84 - sweet! What this is telling me is that when I plateau, I should take a refeed day (or two).
2/4 162.4lbs, 35.1%bf; 7h0m/79 - there is the bump. Plus, late dinner.... I need to make eating earlier a bigger priority! Goal is still possible.... though unlikely.

Goal for this round is 100g of protein each day!🥩

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28--208.1 Water weight from tea 3 days ago. 105g
01/29--207.2 Water weight is starting to go. 100g
01/30--206.1 More water. Sore from workout yesterday. Going out for lunch today. 102g
01/31--206.1 Surprised weight not up after lunch yesterday, but may be up tomorrow. Today was supposed to be gym day, but I was so exhausted I gave myself permission not to go. 102g
02/01--207.0 There's the water weight. Rest day today. 102g
02/02--206.1 Did not get all my protein in because I didn't plan for it. I also realized that when I eat less protein, I ended up eating more calories. Strength coach today. 87g
02/03--205.2 More water weight. I had a great workout with my trainer yesterday and then, once the sun came out, I took the dog out for a long walk. Going to my chiropractor today for my monthly adjustment, and if the rain holds up, I'll take the dog out for another walk. 100g
02/04--205.4 Unexpected happy hour last night, so I don't know what my total protein amount was for yesterday. However, I only had 1 drink and shared an appetizer, so I'm happy about that. Strength coach today.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

1/28 122.0 I’ve caught up with posts so will get dressed and go to the gym with DH. No excuses!
%%%%%%
Haha, I was ready and waiting for him to get up and he slept until 11! When he got up he went to lunch with our blind friend so I went to the gym and ran errands!
1/29 121.0
1/30 122.5 Very short night. Less than 4 hours sleep. Really bad choice for dinner last night -Popeye’s chicken. And no TMI x2
1/31 121.0 * Note to self - skip Popeye’s chicken in the future! Yesterday did some food prep for the freezer- fathead pizza crusts and chaffles, started digging out the sewing table. It’s been quite a while since it was cleared off. Still lots to do but I need to get ready for the All Day Sew tomorrow and really don’t want to have to haul a truck load of stuff to have what I need!
2/1 121.0 I have a carefully planned food day to go with my all day sew. I woke up with a touch of vertigo. ARRRGGHHH! Happy February everyone!
2/2 121.0 So pleased with myself for walking past a table covered with sugary stuff ALL DAY at Sew Day. I ate only the food I took and had pre-logged. I got 133% of my steps for the day and drank 3 liters of water and ?? cups of coffee. By 5 pm my back was done but we were there until 9:15 - the disadvantage of not driving myself. Today we’re meeting friends at Sam’s Town for brunch buffet at 11 and I will have champagne. NO Super Bowl!!!
2/3 121.0 Had TOOO MUCH CHAMPAGNE yesterday but it did give me a GREAT nap!

2/4 120.0 Broke my fast yesterday after 23 hours. DH is going to lunch with blind friend so I will fast longer today.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/27 …..190.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/28 …..189.9 ….. A guesstimate of calories in are about 1800. Calories out 2834. 23,076 total steps & 10.18 Total Miles. 13/13 fitbit step hours. TRAVEL TODAY taking brother for some hospital testing including liver ultrasound.

01/29 …..191.8 ….. I did try to offset by walking 58 minutes at about 3.0 mph in my house last night burning 325 extra calories. Overall fitbit stats: Calories in unsure / Calories Out 2406. 14,315 Total Steps & 6.06 Total Miles. 11/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 27 minutes and am tired and groggy.

01/30 …..191.8 ….. Fitbit stats: Calories In unsure/Calories Out 2409. 14,465 Total Steps & 6.12 miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 29 minutes but it was a toss & turn horrible night. Tired today. I walked for 79 minutes with DGS #2 (age 11) at the school while DGS #1 was in tutoring and hopefully getting back on track (ADHD).

01/31 …..191.6 ….. Yesterdays ending stats: 1778 Calories In / 2554 Calories Out. 47 Net Carbs. 17,172 Total Steps & 7.27 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 55 minutes and awoke refreshed. I walked after school in the halls.

02/01 …..191.6 ….. I suspect the scale will creep up tomorrow. Today it is staying level in spite of the fact that I ate back all my exercise calories plus 63 over. My carbs were over too. Best calculation: 2102 Calories In / 2566 Calories Out. 107 Net Carbs. 17,562 Total Steps & 7.43 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 6 minutes and woke up tired, needing more. I walked alone at the school in a power walk mentality at about 3.75 mph average for 123 minutes burning 742 extra calories. Exercise on point, diet notsomuch. Today I have lots of projects I’ll be working at while at my home/office since I cannot walk the school halls on Weekends. Very icy out and beautiful large fluffy snowflakes coming down today. Looks like Christmas. I hope to fit some prep cooking in today to make staying on point easier. I’ll use up the friendly veggies I have but no shopping today. I say no to icy roads when possible!

02/02 …..192.0 ….. I suspected this would happen. Still trying my best to be mindful. I would like to start easing my way back into IF next week so it would cut the cals & carbs overall for the day. I know that it would also make me feel better. However, I have to watch those periods of no food due to sugar drops so I have been nervous. I will start with 12:12 for a bit and see what happens. Even if sugar drops occur that I have to remedy, I will keep trying daily until my body adjusts. I know I can get there again. Yesterday I was over cal & over carb due to underestimating which I caught too late. Best correct logging guestimation was 1933 Calories In / 2446 Calories Out. 124 Total Carbs. 10,268 Total Steps & 4.34 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit step hours. I slept 6 hours & 12 minutes. That is almost a (good) record for me. I woke up feeling great! Today I have cabins to clean & Superbowl Sunday to contend with for my son & brother. I may go over today but I will NOT be eating the starchy snacks like nachos, chips etc. I have an Atkins bar ready for that. I will, however, be eating dinner with them so we shall see. My only planned exercise yesterday was a slow 2.5 mph walk at home for 21 minutes that burned 91 calories. Otherwise, I did my personal housecleaning and tackled some more physical projects I saved for winter. Dealing with my maintenance man tied my time & movement up for a few hours which was disappointing. Tons of snow last night so I will be working on some shoveling today too. Happy Superbowl to all of my US friends!

02/03 …..192.6 ….. Real Lasagna with real pasta but no superbowl snacks. All black coffee. Not enough water. Monday. Back to walking at the school today and eating the good foods. 1802 Calories In / 2568 Calories Out. 77 Carbs. 12,188 Total Steps & 5.16 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 54 minutes and woke up incredibly tired but forced to get up. I prepped Superbowl food for 40 minutes burning 122 calories. I did light to moderate cleaning in the tourist cabins for 70 minutes burning 248 calories. Total extra burn 370. Extra sitting yesterday due to game and company. Today I will be moving more.

02/04 …..192.3 ….. Flu (or pancreatitis or gall bladder attack?) hit bad yesterday afternoon. I was sick all night. Stayed in bed and in pain. That explains the drop on the scale. I really should have went to an emergency room but I live so far from one. If that gripping pain happens again, I will go in next time. No movement yesterday, all bed. I’m going to take it easy today too and not push it. I am feeling very hungry right now but afraid to eat. And my back is hurting from lying so long in bed yesterday. I am not used to that. Most nights I don’t even hit 5 hours so laying down that long is painful. I hope the day gets better.

Round 103 - Jan.28 to Feb.6
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165, GW – 163 something, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.) The 12 hr. IF along with everything else (portion control, watching calories in foods, exercise) seems to be working well for me.
This round I’m keeping on with IF and want to add getting to the gym 3x a week. I also want to better plan out my gym times. Right now I tend to get into it and spend about 1 ½ hrs. there and unconsciously I think that makes me put it off. If I can make it a real habit, even if it’s only 1 hr., in the end I’m ahead.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 165 – Good day at the gym yesterday. Guess that balanced the evening snack after practice.
01/29 – 165.6 – IF last night though I sure didn’t feel like it. I suppose that is the result of giving in on Monday. Off to the gym today.
01/30
01/31 – 164.6
02/01 – 164.8 – Made it to the gym yesterday. Snack last night so no IF.
02/02 – 164.8
02/03 – 165 – Lazy day but did remember to quit eating at 7:05. Sunday evenings are really random, often snacks all evening rather than a proper meal so the calories can easily get out of hand. Off to the gym today.
02/04 – 164.8 – Good workout at the gym. No IF.

Starting weight January 2019: 150 lbs
Current weight: 130.0
Original goal weight: 130 lbs (hit this January 11, 2020)

Goal this round: maintain weight (or lose a little), work out 4 times a week, do elbow physical therapy every day, try to play pickleball again... haven't played since January 4th.

I'm trying a new thing - only weighing in once a week or less and focusing instead on staying under my calorie goals, being active and eating enough protein. Will see how this affects my mood and performance.

Day/Weight/Comment:

01/28: Nailed my protein goal yesterday (95 grams), ate below calories and had a short but excellent upper body workout. Another really great workout this morning - a new to me lower strength day that kicked my butt and I had time for 25 minutes of cardio on top of it. Followed with a high protein smoothie, great start to the day and challenge for me.

01/29: Another great protein day (over 100 grams), also ate below calories and added some ab work at the end of the day when I did my elbow p/t. Hard to not get on the scale, waiting for the obsession to ease up a bit. Today is a rest day - which I will spend cleaning the house

.

01/30: 95 grams protein yesterday and well under my calorie goal. I was so crazy sore yesterday from both the Monday and tuesday workout but felt great in the gym this morning. Tried a Pickleball game, nope, elbow is not ready. But I’m going to find a poor unsuspecting soul who will do drills with me left handed.

01/31: day 4 of not weighing in, I don’t like it at all. Told myself I’d wait til Monday, really going to try to stick to that. Over 100 grams protein yesterday, under calorie goal, great workout. Great workout this morning followed by hitting the Pickleball against the practice wall with my left hand for a while. Will continue that after workouts for a few days. I’m really sore from this week in the gym, pushed myself a lot. Looking forward to recovering over the weekend.

02/01: busy day, had guests over all day and we grazed in the kitchen the whole time. I tried to make good choices but it was a big change from always being aware of what I'm eating and logging it right away. Back on track tomorrow. Had to add a protein smoothie at the end of the day to get to my protein goal.

02/02: Another rest day for me, my body is happy for it and I'm already looking forward to working out again tomorrow. Grocery shopping/meal planning day. Planning to go for a brisk walk later.

02/03: Really had to finagle at the end of the day to get my protein macro met. It's hard for me to wrap my head around eating more if I have to to get the protein in. If I'm not going to bed hungry, it feels like I'm overeating.

02/04: Weighed in: 128.6 lbs. I have lots of reasons why I decided to step on the scale this morning but the truth is that I was just too curious. Happily surprised with the results. I also moved my body fat testing day to tomorrow because the machine I use (the Inbody230) states that you shouldn't work out for 10-12 hours before using it and tomorrow is my rest day so it works better than doing it Thursday. Great leg workout this morning followed by some pickleball drills and 2 pickleball games, played primarily with my non-dominant hand. It's a work in progress

. Feels so very good to be on the courts again!

I’m in for another round.
R100 1/7/20 (-1.6)
R101 1/18/20 (-4.4)
R102 1/27/20 (-1.4)
Start Weight- 218.8lb
Current Weight- 211.4lb
End of Round 103 Goal- 207.5
Ultimate Goal- 173lb

1/28- 211.8lb (+0.4lb) not bothered by the gain, although not seen a new low for a while now. I guess that’s the issue with writing everyday. Having said that, my tracking hasn’t been as religious as it has been previously, so must get back on track with that. I’ve got a series of goals to aim for and I’m determined to reach them.
1/29- 210lb (-1.8lb) nice substantial loss, after quite a few days of see-sawing up and down the same half pound. Cautious about this mini-Woosh as I didn’t feel well yesterday, went to bed early and only ‘picked’ at my tea. Still good to see a new low weight for a while thought. Yearning for lighter nights, so I can get back to running. Half marathon booked for late May- done the distance a lot in the past, but it will be a big deal to be able to train and accomplish this distance again.
1/30- 211.2lb (+1.2lb) I knew that yesterday’s loss was a strange one. Been much better with my logging today so hopefully a part of the gain will be elimated!
1/31- 209.6lb (-1.6lb). So happy to be back down to a new low, feel back on track in my mindset too. Ready to attack the weekend with two intense gym sessions and hopefully keeping on track with fluid and food intake. My partner is due to give birth any day now- determined to lose this weight and become a role model for my boy 🤞😀
2/1- 210.2lb (+0.6lb) Bit of yo-yo action with my weight at the moment, but overall trend is down. Planning on a lighter day today with an outdoor run too, was gonna go to the gym but I want to make the most of the dry weather and the days finally starting to get a little lighter and longer. Hopefully down tomorrow after today’s very conscious eating.
2/2- 210.4lb ( +0.2lb) Up slightly again from yesterday. Gym session planned for today- chest workout I think after a decent run yesterday. Fajitas today which I love- will avoid all the fatty condiments and go for low fat Greek yoghurt. Weight always seems to increase at the weekend. I’m still on the right path; losing weight more slowly than I’m used to, but don’t feel burnt out like I usually do when losing weight- I’m in this for the long haul!
2/3 - 211lb 🙄 (+0.6lb)
2/4- 211.2 😫 (0.2lb) The trend continues. Going to have a low day today, plenty of water. Just feel like I need to see the scale go down again. Ahhh one of the few negatives of weighing everyday. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things- but my tracking hasn’t been great to be honest!

Start weight: 74kg
Goal weight: 70kg

My body is my ally

R102 EW: 73.1kg

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 73.2kg - no exercise, 16.5hrs hrs fast
My eating window was a bit longer yesterday as dinner took long was quite small and I then had a bunch of snacks, silly me. Today, I stayed home sick, sore throat turned into feeling overall unwell. So hardly any steps and no exercise.
01/29 73.1kg - no exercise, 16hrs
Still off sick. I have to accept that I won't meet my step, running or yoga goals this week. It would be nice if Fitbit had an option to add this and put goals on pause.
01/30 72.8kg - no exercise, 15hrs fast
Back to work for the day as it is my bosses last day. But I'm not 100% well and will stay home again tomorrow.
01/31 72.6kg - no exercise, 17.5hrs fast
Stayed home, sick again feel better. No exercise, just went for a walk which was good. Hopefully I can sneak in a short run on Sunday.
January stats:
- 13 runs, 72km
- 20 days of YWA Home done
- each week I walked+ran more than 50km
- average fasting time: 15.7hrs
02/01 72.4kg - YWA Home Day 21+22, walk, 17hrs fast
Started the day with yoga.
I'm very happy with this loss rate, but fasting is easier when home and sleeping longer. So I need to consider my meeting schedule for my eating schedule. I already know stress eating will be a problem, so will aim to take chopped veg for that. Anyway, it's Saturday, why am I already worrying about work?
02/02 71.8kg - YWA day 23, 16.5hrs fast
Wow that was unexpected. I didn't eat much yesterday, but still. I'm sure this won't last, but a bump down is still nice to see. Having a very emotionally draining weekend, but on the plus side I didn't stress eat.
Average fasting time this week: 16.5, up from last week! Back to work tomorrow, see how this week will go.
Average weight this week: 72.7kg, down 0.6
02/03 71.9kg - YWA day 24, 16hrs fast
I ended up doing a yoga session before bed last night, which was really good. Today, i'm back to work as normal and it may be a long work day, but I ordered lunch so I can have the second half later in the day and won't need dinner when I get home late.

02/04 71.7kg - YWA day 25 (before bed), 13hrs fast
Got home late yesterday, stayed up late, snacked late and had wine. Bad news at work plus difficult situation at home. But the loss is positive. Today wasn't much better, at least I skipped the wine.
