Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 127
Replies

@CamandJarvis For me, 5:2 fasting was really difficult on all levels.
1. I like having day to day consistency. I do somewhere between 16:8 and 18:6 fasting every day, and I find it very easy. I skip breakfast and have a cup of tea, no problem. I never seemed to adjust to the 24 hours of minimum calories.
2. I didn't have much energy to exercise AND I couldn't have protein after exercise, which seemed bad for me.
3. I couldn't eat dinner with my partner, which is an activity that's important to me. I also didn't like the limitation on my social life.
In the long term it seemed really unsustainable for me, but I totally think it works if you can handle it.7 -

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.

9/24 117.0 *16 hour fast broken at 11:30AM Had a lovely evening with friends yesterday. I made Mexican pork chops with rice and made myself Mexican cauliflower rice. I did eat a little real rice and a partial serving of ice cream (def not keto) making it another higher carb day. It’s all about learning what I can enjoy ON OCCASION and still maintain below my goal. Additionally, I’m working out at the gym an PT so hope I’m getting some muscle back. *15.5 hour fast done.
9/25 116.5
9/26 117.0 Talked to PT guy yesterday and since I’m back to the gym, seeking the machines that duplicate what I’m doing at PT, I’m going to go it alone. If I need to, I can get a referral back to PT. There are a few exercises that I will to continue at home, too. I feel so much better than I have for almost 2 years!
9/27 116.0 I only ate one meal yesterday and didn’t snack. I just wasn’t hungry.
9/28 115.5 Early morning blood draw. No gym 😢8 -
@CamandJarvis I’ve been doing OMAD and maybe 1 snack for ages. My DH eats more snacks. I didn’t make an over 24 hour fast until a couple of weeks ago - I think I lasted 36 or 38. My stomach growled once right before the 24 hour mark. I ignored it and was fine. I’m planning to eat lunch with friends tomorrow and then fasting until sometime Thursday. Fingers crossed.4

Round 127
Excited for My Round 5! I can't believe it's been over a month! Let's go!
Jillian Age 34 and 5'1"
HSW: 179.8
CSW: 164.4
GW: 130
UGW: 116
Mini GW: 158 will get me out of the obesity category and into the overweight category according to the BMI.
RGW: 162 and Exercise More
Round 123 (1): 179.8 to 176.4 (-3.4)
Round 124 (2): 176.4 to 170 (-6.4)
Round 125 (3): 170.0 to 169.2 (-0.8)
Round 126 (3): 167.8 to 164.4 (-3.4)
🏃 09/24: 164.4 I'm holding steady, which is fine since I lost so much in the last half of the previous round. The poke last night was delicious.
🏃 09/25: 165.2 I ate under my calorie goal, so this must be water weight from not drinking enough water ---- or something. I don't know. I'm going to play my Switch fitness games today. I heard a new Boxing game is coming soon in December, so I already know one of my birthday presents.
🏃 09/26: 163.4 That's more like it. I played my Ring Fit Adventure game and the plank reps were killer.
🏃 09/27: 164.0 I'm not concerned about this, especially because Mark wanted fried chicken last night. I had some too, and knew the consequences.
🏃 09/28: 162.6 Hooray! I had salad for lunch and then ate pizza for dinner, but it was from a local restaurant. I think they use fresh ingredients because I don't feel gross after like when I have Pizza Hut. It was apparently exactly what I needed to turn back in the right direction. This is in addition to gains (losses gained?) from my Ring Fitness workout the other day.
Side Note: I'm back to the weight I was right before I was pregnant with my baby girl, who is 1.5 now. It was tough being pregnant at this weight because it meant I couldn't gain too much weight like I did with my son. I did well, however. I only gained 20 lbs and the baby was born at a perfectly normal weight around seven pounds. After having Baby A, that 20 lbs came off in 3 weeks, but for some reason, I piled it back on like nothing. There it remained until 5 weeks ago when I decided things needed to change and joined this challenge and started logging my meals. I only have to lose 5 more pounds to get down to 158, which will take me out of obesity and into just being overweight!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year 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...

We used to walk 5 miles a day. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle. Getting back to it slowly.

09/24 140.4 Well, I'm still hoping to break into the 130s. Should be able to do it this round. Hit 3/3 goals yesterday.
09/25 140.8 Is it a plateau yet? Hmmmm...if I stay in this 140 zone all round, I'd say so. No exercise yesterday.
09/26 140.6 No exercise yesterday. It may be time to tweak some things. It seems I've been on a "maintenance break" without even knowing it lol!
09/27 141.6 No exercise yesterday
09/28 142.6 Disappointed to see this. Oh, well, let's see what tomorrow brings!

Day/Weight/Comment
***09/23 168.5 ~ {Steps 15,404} ~ Today, I hit all my goals with my meals and my workouts! I decided instead of letting my husband mood bring me down too, yes I decided to hit the gym,***
09/24 167.1 ~ {Steps 5,467} ~ Today was another tough day, my morning workout didn’t happen. Throughout the day I didn’t let emotions let my food choices get the best of me. We did get to relax with some friends, which we come home with an espresso zucchini chocolate cake. My plan is to pre slice the cake for portion control. Tonight I was successful of not eating a late night snack. Hopefully the scale will be nice tomorrow.
09/25 165.8 ~ {Steps 11,288) ~ My husband was up with our pug, Pete the Pug at 3:30 am. It’s been a long three days, Pete doesn’t act sick and still eats but his 💩 isn’t normal? Plus he’s almost two and until recently he’s never had accidents, 😭😭. I’ll be back to post to reflect my day....
My sodium was extremely high, 😈😈 but I didn’t snack after dinner. I did eat later then normal so we’ll see how this reflects the scale. Spending the day tomorrow with my grandkids....
09/26 166.7 ~ {Steps 7,312} ~ I figured the sodium would be a factor for some weight gain, no worries. It will be gone soon, bring on lots of water. Today I spent the morning with my grandkids so not much exercising in but tomorrow my pan is an early walk.
09/27 166.1 ~ {Steps 15,085} ~ Tough day but I managed to stay strong after dinner doing a yoga session instead of turning to food, yay for me!
09/28 165.8 ~ {Steps 15,111} ~ This morning I had a small slice of espresso zucchini walnut bread for breakfast, I wanted to try it in the morning to make sure it didn’t make me spiral out of control. It worked, woot hoot.....I also decided to do a meditation video yoga video at night...

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 127 (round 59 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need it! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round will be still on our fortnight's holiday, but not flown to a hotel cuz of C19, instead we have taken or caravan away so I am in charge of meal prep. Goal is to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, hubby likes to play me with blood orange gin & 7UP, which I love, but I'll keep to one per day, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

09/24 168.2lbs. I'm ok with this, I exercised before weighing and had some water too
09/25 167.8lbs. This is a milestone for me as it means I've gone down into to the next stone. I've gone from 12st 11lb to 11st 13.8lb. I know before I joined again I was into the 13st range, previously unknown territory for me and that gave me the serious jolt I needed.
09/26 167.2lbs As much as I'm loving the numbers, I know I'm not eating all my calories as I'm not as hungry as I used to be. I need to watch this.
09/27 167.0lbs Really happy my fat intake was lower than usual yesterday and my protein was higher than usual. However my carbs were high and I didn't want to increase them much more so my overall intake was lower than I would have liked. I'm pre-diabetic and have high cholesterol. I need to get the right balance.
09/28 166.8lbs. Woke up early having gone to bed early last night. My Garmin showed I had 2 hours sleep! That can't be right as I'd usually get up if I'm awake too long. Maybe my light sleep was really light!
09/29 166.4 Didn't have much sleep last night. This is really annoying me, and this time my watch was correct. I didn't get up for any reason but was tossing and turning a lot.

The other night I went to bed early, around 10:15-10:30 but it said I went to sleep at 2:30! Yeah, not sure how it figures that but maybe my hand dances after my body dozes! LOL
That's exactly what happened to me. I went to bed really early, for me, at around 10. When I woke up it hadn't registered before about 2. When I amended the sleep time back to 10, it mostly showed pink, sleep, and a little blue, awake.
Last night though I didn't really sleep at all and it didn't record my sleep beginning until 3.30, which could have been correct. I know I laid awake for what seemed hours. Not sure what to do to combat my sleeplessness.3 -

09/24 - 73.6 - No I'm okay with that. OH cooked again yesterday (homemade burgers, yum), it's frustrating that he asks "you have around 800 kcals left for the day?" which I did. And then proceeds to not log properly and cook me a ~1200kcal meal. I kind of wish he hadn't asked because then at least I wouldn't have felt so bad that he intentionally just didn't care about the calories. That, and I clawed him back into logging again. After our bad Tuesday I think he was all ready to just give up. But I wanted to log, so I did it loudly making it clear that one bad day wasn't going to turn into a bad week for me. And then he took my point and followed suit, announcing that his meal was only 1000kcals. Now considering that I'd logged a smaller version of the same meal at 1200kcal I had a quick look at his logging. And yeah. Had he done the classic MFP mistakes? Yes. The butter he used for frying? Not logged. Had he used literally the lowest calorie option when selecting the mince? Yes. Did he check the database entry against what was on the packet? No (and it was wrong). Did he just forget ingredients? Yes.
The thing is as well, that personally I would much rather have forgone the two buns (brioche buns too, honestly I prefer normal bread)with everything stacked in a single one. That means I would've had less cheese too. But he made my meal smaller only by making my patties smaller. I don't have an issue with that (and it's nice that he's considering my smaller calorie allowance), but an extra bun is so not worth it and neither is the additional cheese that comes with it (aka 300kcals I could do without). I did suggest that next time I'd rather have my patties on one bun, so hopefully he'll remember that for next time. I do love it when he cooks, but he cooks for his large eyes, and certainly not for my small frame.
Okay rant over.
(This sounds a lot like I'm having a massive go, but I'm ranting here so I don't have a go at him. He's early on in his weight loss journey, and has around 1000kcals more in his budget than me, he's finding it easy right now and hasn't learnt the logging consistency that comes with time and making mistakes. He'll get there, but I think trying to cook for my calorie allowance is something that he'll probably always struggle with.)
09/25 - 73.6
09/26 - 73.0
09/27 - 72.7
09/28 - 73.0 - I often struggle to update here over the weekend. This one seemed worse than normal. Last week was especially tough. On Tuesday it become apparent that our wedding was probably not going to go ahead in the way we wanted it to (It's in April). My way of dealing with this was to not think about it. Keep working, and keep going. Reclusing into my own little world to avoid anything that might make me have to deal with how I'm actually feeling. And then this weekend I think it finally hit me. And we finally, properly, talked about it. And we made a decision. We're still going to get married on the same day. If we have 30 people instead of 100, then it'll have to be 30 people. We know who those people are now, and there was some hard choices to be made. But we finally sat down and talk honestly about what we wanted, what marriage really meant for both of us, and how we want our life to look in 2-3 years time. I can be a bit of an over sharer, I use this thread to sort of reflect on my days and how I'm doing and how it reflects on my weight. But that's hard to do when everything comes back to one thing that I really didn't want to face, didn't want to think about. And that's why I've not posted for 3 days. Because I can't pretend that everyone's fine when it isn't. Sure my weight is going well. But I didn't want to acknowledge how I was feeling, and the way I was feeling was having an impact on my eating. I couldn't post here because it meant I had to face that. And I couldn't. Not then. Better now. Can now. So: Numbers over the last few days have been good considering the poor week I've had. Had a deficit for the week averaging 250kcals per day, so I'm very happy with that. Logging has been a little dodgy as meals have been out of my control, but I've er'd on the side of caution where possible so I'm hoping things have balanced out about right.
09/29 - 72.4 - I mean, sure please continue. I am expecting that to zoom back up a bit tomorrow, but it's looking like my round target might very well be on the cards this time. Eating was fine yesterday. I was still shattered and didn't end up going to Judo yesterday, so I'm definitely going to have to make up for it and go for a run at some point this week, maybe even some body weight exercises at home, idk. Worked from home yesterday, so barely got any steps as I didn't even leave the house. I need to work in the office more often, I find working from home really not helping. I just have a much higher NEAT when I come into the office. Even if it's just the extra 20 or so steps to the toilet or the kitchen each time. It massively adds up. Oh and I get so much more work done. That too.

@Deviette - I think you've coped really well considering the circumstances. My heart goes out to you when the dream day and how you had planned it has been turned upside down, but you and your partner have done well to discuss what it means to you and having done this I'm sure that when the actual day arrived it will be special. Looking forward to hearing about it next year ❤️
Thank you so much and to everyone who reacted to my previous post. It's been a tough few days, but I'm still here and keeping going 👍8 -

BF% also dropped back down to where it usually hovers. Ribs still in pretty good sharp pain so today will be interesting. Starting to make me think I need to see a doctor. Giving it a couple more days in hopes it'll ease down on its own. 70oz water yesterday, fasted 20hr, under calories by 203.

Previous Day's Comments09/24 - A normal fluctuation I think? I made a new dinner recipe last night so not sure if it was a tad heavy or a tad salty since I never add salt to anything but recipe called for it. I don't see any noticeable bloating so I'm thinking it was more heavy than salty. We ate early since it was just us. Didn't get to fully fast yesterday, only 14hrs. Today will be easier since my eating window ended at 630 instead of 730. Plenty of water yesterday, estimated about 88oz. Having last night's dinner leftovers for lunch and making some stuffed pepper soup for dinner tonight. I'm sluggish today from waking up so much last night. Hopefully I can fit in a walk later on, maybe over lunch. Hopefully it will have warmed up a bit by then too! Let the dog out and it was chilly. Not ready for that!
09/25 - This was expected after last night. Actually, I expected higher with slight dehydration. Dinner was loved by everyone (yay! its a favourite of mine) and I was surprised with a homemade, from-scratch strawberry pie I just could not say no to! Its been years since I've had strawberry pie and I made the conscious decision knowing I'd be up today which is a win. I debated awhile about it, but life is for living and I need to have balance, even if it means a small bump up. Especially knowing that there's water weight and it'll easily drop down in a day or two if I'm focused. Today, I have more leftovers from Wednesday's dinner I'll polish off for lunch. I'll ensure dinner is light, whatever it is we have. More VW work today but going to try to squeeze in a walk this morning before we head over after BF's last meeting at noon. AND I'm taking my lovely gas station reusable soda cup and convert it to my garage water cup! Has a lid, a straw, and is 32oz so only need to refill once to hit my 8 glasses a day goal. Yesterday I learned I need a water bottle with a straw when in the garage as hands were so dirty I couldn't get water for a couple hours! Lesson learned!
09/26 - Inching back down like I thought. Dinner was pizza but I pre-logged to see what would fit into my goals and only ate that. Lots of water, too! Still feeling a bit dehydrated this morning but it seems to be a trend lately. I think it's a lot to do with my sleep and less with my water intake the day before. We finished round 3 of rebuilding the engine (oil leaks, yay!) and then rewired tail and brake lights. Today is wiring up the blinkers. Still have front end ball joints to go so it'll be fully driveable -- not sure if we will start those today. Should be good for inspection for registration at that point, I think! Fasting as long as I can today, luckily not feeling overly hungry, just thirsty. No walk as I don't have anything but pajamas available since I'm still in the daughter's room and didn't replenish my supply after a super late night (midnight!) working on the bug. Garage work should give me plenty of steps and movement, though. Going to continue the trend of watching my intake through the weekend. I really want to be in the 140s by my birthday (9 Oct) and its keeping me super focused, thankfully.
09/27 - Very happy to have stayed the same. I was for sure I had gained. We ended up eating out at a sports bar so we could get out of the house (hello cabin fever) and still watch college football (we had to wait on sealant to set for 8 hrs on the bug which stopped our work on it). That counted as late lunch/early dinner as we were too stuffed at dinnertime to bother eating. Definitely should have had more water yesterday, though. Football today -- noon games at home, followed by cowboys game at our friend's for some smoked (since yesterday) pork butt, then head home for Sunday Night Football. I'm not hungry still, so thinking of stretching fast as long as possible and making it an OMAD kind of day. We will see how my body reacts to the fast as it goes on and it'll be a good learning experiment. Still reading through Life in the Fasting Lane so plenty more to learn (especially given how much other I've read about fasting -- there's so much to it and my science nerd brain is loving it)
09/28 - This was a weird weigh in but it can't last long at all. The mirror is more friendly than the scale and if I had access to my measuring tape, I'm sure the measurements would side with how I'm feeling/looking more than the scale as well. Yesterday my BF% was 32.4% but today's unusually, randomly high weight was accompanied by a 35.8%BF reading. I woke up this morning feeling sleepy but really light and airy in my body. Also, looking in the mirror, my stomach has flattened out more so most, if not all, of my bloat seems to be gone. I watched my carbs yesterday along with fasting until 230. Finished my dinner by 615 and have been fasting since. 80oz in water, estimated under calories by 421 (96 of those "exercise" but that was really walking to get water, food, bathroom breaks, etc., not actually exercise haha estimated food intake as I wasn't 100% sure on the homemade potluck style dinner) Managed to eat until I was satisfied, but not overly full. I felt good all day, minus beginning to feel a tad bit lethargic early afternoon at which point I broke my fast and revived myself. It'll take me time to work up to these longer fasts without feeling major impacts on my life. This isn't a race, its a lifestyle change and I want my body to be happily adjusted alongside me.

I didn't eat enough yesterday, which probably has a bit to do with the drop in weight. I expect it to be higher tomorrow.
25/9 125.6kg
I'm surprised that I didn't see a bump here. But I won't complain. Still learning about ways to make takeaway food low carb, which is really hard when they bulk up meals with chips and bread. But tonight was a tasty win with a grilled chicken quarter and salad.
26/9 125.4kg
No kids tonight, so having an early bedtime. Hopefully I can catch up on some well needed sleep.
27/9 125.3kg <-- goals!
After 43 days, I am down 5kg (11lb). I didn't get a huge drop at the beginning, so I know I am working hard for each drop. I'm starting to notice my clothes being a bit looser, but no one else has yet. That's ok.
28/9 125.3kg
I was loving hitting this goal so much, I decided to stay there 🤣. Vegetarian dinner which was delicious, but extremely low in calories and protein. I'll need to work on other non-meat, low carb protein sources.
29/9 125.1kg
Spent today writing an assignment, so not much walking today. I went a bit over with carbs at dinner, but was ok for a daily total.

09/27 - 143.5 - Crazy thing...every time I try to "like" or "hug" another post, MFP times out on me. I'll try to catch up tomorrow.
09/28 - 142.5 - Not a surprise since I was up "releasing water" every single hour last night. I've had UT issues the past 10 days and tested negative for infection twice. Dr. had given me 5 days of antibiotics last week and I'm not sure if that helped a little or not. I've also started drinking Dandelion tea and D Mannose. I had a bladder injury when a disc in my lower back blew 22 years ago and I've dealt with that, but my symptoms now are beyond what I'm used to. I'm planning to see a urologist, but wondered if anyone else has used a supplement successfully to deal with UT issues.
09/29 - 143.5 - I got a few hours of sleep in a row last night, so I feel a little better about that.

9/27/20 - 149.0 - scale thought about giving me 149.2. Part of me hoped for better as I went to bed hungry, but at the same I did got out to eat with friends for an outdoor-dining lunch yesterday. I ordered the cobb salad and when it came it was clearly not the calories that I had pre-tracked. For I better estimate I did what I have done in the past and broken it up into smaller estimations – slices bacon, ounces of chicken, etc etc. I then adjusted what I ate in the evening accordingly…. Gulp, just noticed my apple watch is not on. Weight probably should have been the 149.2. (1405/1430)

09/24 225.2 Walked 3 miles, bike 15 min, hand weights 20 reps, tracked food, AF. Concerning bump up two days in a row.
09/25 222.4 Slept in & no longer feel bloated Walked 2 miles, bike 15 min, tracked food, drinks. NSV Tried on a skirt to go out to dinner and it was too big to wear! Then put on a dress I wore in Feb 2018 with spanks … and it looked great and loose without spanks. Felt wonderful for dinner at Perry’s with DH
09/26 224.0 💜 GEAUX 😊 TIGERS 💜 Walked 3 miles, bike 15 min, tracked food, wine. Weight is bouncing around. French toast, wine, & gumbo heavy contributors yesterday toward high cal & high carb day. NSV Realized my shift dresses I wore all summer are longer … no longer above the knee.
09/27 223.9 Walked 3 miles. Grazed during the LSU afternoon football game but I brought all the food so knew exactly what the calories and net carbs were for everything. AF.
09/28 223.2 Walked 4 miles, biked 15 min, tracked food, AF.

@playhardkf2017 - I had found the interstitial cystitis this past weekend while I was trying to figure out what to do about my symptoms. I am wondering if the injury I sustained years ago set me on the path to develop this as I get older. My relatively minor symptoms have been getting worse over the past year or so until it got so bad the weekend before I thought I may have to go to the hospital. I really feel for your Mom since there doesn't seem to be any real cure for the disease.
@quiltingjaine - I've got my cranberry juice on my desk. Thank you.6 -

9/25: 288.2 (+2.2) ⬆️ I'm an emotional eater, and when upset about something I tend to over do it with food. 😩 I didn't go over my daily calorie goal by much, but with that and retaining water. Will it happens!! Back to it today. 😊
This morning I got my workout routine done, and I'll work on eating healthy today and staying under my daily calorie goal.
9/26: 287.2 (-1) ⬇️ Happy!! it's heading in the right direction again.. 😄 Now I need to learn not to over eat when my feelings are involved. 🤐 Find another way of handling stress & emotions. 🤔
9/27: 287.2 (-0.0) Staying the same, is much better than an increase. Yesterday wasn't the best day overall, but it's behind me now, 😒 Today is a new day! 🌞
9/28: 285.2 (-2.0) ⬇️ Weighed earlier than usual. Lost to more 2 lbs. Finally below this rounds start weight. Let's think positive, that it will continue to head downward. Would like to end round with a good loss.
9/29: 285.2 (-0.0) This seems to be the norm. When I lose one day, I'll stay put for a day. Hopefully, this means I'll lose tomorrow. Looking on the bright side, at least it's not a gain. 😄

44, 6' trying to maintain at 150. Have to track here for accountability. More water, more low/0 calorie snacks when starving.
9/24-27 vacation- Hiked hard every day, Lassen, Zion, completed Angel's Landing, but ate big too with no tracking. Up substantially. Back here to track
9/28 158.6 Yeah...
9/29 156.2 I thought yesterday might have been up a bit from post travel swelling. This feels more like where I am. Still not great, but that's why I'm here.9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/24 162.2 lbs fasted 18 hours, which I account for much of the loss, also dehydration because I was away from home thus no food and limited water. 10,480 steps Tomorrow could be bad, going shopping and then a wine walk in the evening with friends.
9/25 164.8 lbs fasted 16 hours I expected an increase due the huge decrease the day before and also the wine walk was great fun. I had not been to that town in a long time and they have alot of new great small business and it was fun to shop and see what was out. The snacks were two good.
9/26 165.6 lbs Weighed with wet hair, fasted 16 hours, walked two miles outside, over 15,000 steps. But calories were about 1400 and I am sure some gain is still from the fun the night before.
9/27. 164.2 lbs. quilted so no exercise. Over on calories. I can do better.
9/28 164.2 lbs Under 1100 calories. It was raining and icky so continued to work on some quilted hotpads for Christmas gifts not much exercise and my back dislikes all the standing. This round is halfway done, I got to get a move on.
9/29 164.2 lbs Under 1100 calories, fasted 16 hours, over 11,000 steps. I realize I spent most of the day quilting again but really I could of dropped something.9
