Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 129
Replies
-
Round 129 starts off with a day of restaurant dining for early Anniversary (10/15). Something not faced in prior rounds. Should be fine as I am continuing with pre-track planning the best I can. Goal for this round is to try and finish under 145.0 which translates to -1.0. 59th Birthday is coming early next round and I am pushing to be under 145.0 for that occasion. Success this round will make that likely.

Round 129 – starting weight 145.8
10/14 – 145.2 Well yesterday, I survived well enough dining out (2 days early) for 37th anniversary. Pre-planned what I was going to order and tracked it ahead as well. Did not even look at the menu. Crossed my “base” goal calories, but did not exceed base + exercise. Ironic that my weight finally moved after several days of seesaw despite eating under target and exercising.
10/15 – 145.2 Happy with the number. I’m ok with no change. (Happy 37th anniversary today to me and Hubby. Already celebrated on the 13th as Hubby has to fly/escort his mother back to Florida today)
10/16 – 145.4 always a little back and forth! :P
10/17 – 146.2 Was making Halloween goodie bags and then had a sugar melt down. A totally untracked quantity. Over and done with. Move on.
10/18 – 146.0 repairing the damage
10/19 – 145.4 Almost back to 145.2. Still trying for under 145 for the 23rd.

😡 I think this bump is water and delayed response from two days of Greek food.

A little better. I drank lots of water yesterday to flush all that salt. It’s chilly and rainy this morning, and we’re supposed to have a hard freeze tonight, so when the rain stops I need to do a few outdoor garden things. One will be to collect a bouquet before the flowers freeze! 💐 Have a lovely day, all.

I need to get some high-protein breakfast foods that don’t require much morning prep time lined up. I love Bilinski turkey sausages, love eggs done almost any way. Sometimes I make my own version of egg McMuffin, but healthier. I used to make overnight muesli with egg whites and kefir — maybe I’ll make some of those. Left to my own devices, I’d eat a substantial breakfast, big late lunch, and skip dinner, which we do sometimes. Anyway, what do you eat for breakfast? I’m looking for ideas.

That makes no sense, although my rings are tight so maybe water. Whatever. Happy Saturday, my friends!

Yesterday was a good day! Writing, knitting, reading, painting kitchen-laundry room door (pretty green), goofing off. Perfect. I have an entertainment center I’m making into a pantry (not enough storage in the kitchen), so today’s the day we start on that. I’m excited to get that project done. Have a great Sunday, all!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/13 …..208.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/14 …..209.2 ….. After travel weight so I’ll take it. Good luck everyone this round. Welcome to all the newbies, we are thrilled that you have joined us!
10/15 …..208.4 ….. I shed that travel weight quickly with some pretty good choices at home yesterday. Today is a WONDERFUL day for me. I have been going through some very tough things here at home and work and today a wee piece of it is getting resolved. I will explain when I have time. It has been time crunching and gut wrenching at times which has been holding me back from my usual fitness and diet routines. 2 more parts to go and I hope to be all in again by the first of the year. In the meantime, it’s wonderful to see the progression in all parts of my life including these little losses on the scale. Thanks for your support everyone! I’m finding my way back slowly but surely!
10/16 …..208.2 ….. I was hoping for a bigger drop but I guess I should not get greedy. I am happy, overall, at the downward trend when I know I am not in a place to give 100% just yet. However, the dust will settle eventually! Yay on the continual improvement!
10/17 …..207.6 ….. This is great news for me! I have been lowering my portion sizes and choosing my snacks carefully. I am still not getting in enough movement, not logging consistently and not counting calories and carbs to the exact numbers. However, I am making the small changes here and there that is helping to make a difference. Life is still upside down for me, but I am tweaking what I can and staying committed in my mind and soul. That is the best I can hope for or do right now. The little changes make a difference, friends!
10/18 …..208.2 ….. I’m not sure exactly what happened. Small portions and pretty good choices. Probably the garlic bread. I noticed on my spoiler that I have lost (and made goal of ANY LOSS) the last 3 rounds. Striving to keep up the momentum.
10/19 …..207.4 ….. Wow! The ups & downs of a weight loss journey! I really watched my portions yesterday and had no bedtime snacks when watching late-night TV because I took my son out to a newly renovated restaurant in our town that now serves Pizza including Deep Dish Square Pizza. In this little town, that is a BIG DEAL. It was delicious even though it is not normally in my menu planning. My son and I ate JUST UNTIL we began to feel full and took the rest home for dinner later. Portion Control especially with “wrong foods” is ESSENTIAL. No snacks-payment for the Pizza. It greatly helped the scale this morning. I am so happy that it did not completely blow my progress. Social things will always occur…..I’ve just got to keep making those adjustments. Have a great week everyone!

@xxxSheilaxxx I was going to mention yesterday (and forgot) that you need to ignore friends negative comments about your weight. My neighbor has been telling me for a year that I’m “too skinny.” She finally stopped when I told her the Wii Fit said I was perfect and the doctor concurred than my weight was fine. I think a lot of those remarks are sparked by jealousy or envy of our accomplishments. You do you and keep on truckin’!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.
Rnd 129 SW 115.5
10/14 116.5 Expected, 1/2 Greek salad with gyro meat yesterday AF
10/15 117.0 In-N-Out burger for supper last night and I ate most of the bun for the first time in over 3 years. Virtual quilt guild meeting tonight. Getting together with friends for that. AF
10/16 119.0. No TMI x 3 days! ‘Nuff said except considering dynamite! Although I ate that bun the other evening, that isn’t responsible for all of this recent gain. I ate a LOT of veggies yesterday which were about 28g of my 33g of carbs. I’m so bloated that my shorts were uncomfortable last night. Still under my goal weight and back on the rails after this odd week. It’s all good!
10/17 117.0 Some TMI success. I was so stressed yesterday all day because DH left his phone in a neighbors garage Thursday night when he was fixing her sprinkler system. He was so obsessed about getting it back but she was not home or answering her cell phone. By about 7 PM I called her again and she finally answered. She located the phone and he went and picked it up. It was not a good day for me I did not go to the gym, I don’t even remember what I ate but fortunately logged as I slogged my way through the day. He needs a man purse but refuses! Clearly I am frustrated!
10/18 118.0 Scale gave me an ERR first so may need a new battery but it’s all good. Social visit with neighbors last night. AF
10/19 116.5 AF Planning to fast tomorrow if DH’s lunch plans work out. So much easier if I don’t have to make him dinner! 🥴🤪🤞7 -
Ok! I’ve stopped eating those foods that make me swollen. Used the last 10 days to deflate, and now it’s time to really focus on some weight loss!

10/14 - 172.5
10/15 - 171.5 - I did well yesterday! Busy most of the day out of the house, which definitely helped to not eat the Halloween candy on sale I bought, haha
10/16 - 171.5
10/17 - 174 - what the heck! Not enough water, not enough sleep, late night snacking ugh.
10/18 - 173 - slept better but barely drank any water & ate things I shouldn’t have. 2 kids birthday parties in one day! It’ll take me a few days probably to go back.
10/19 - 173.5 - another day of not eating the right things. Definitely not enough water .. my goal this time is not looking achievable!

Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 148
GW: 140
UGW: 125
GW for this round: 146
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 128 (3): 150.4 to 148.0 (-2.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Lose 2 lbs
- Get out for a morning run twice and do Ring Fit the other days
- Do core strengthening exercises 5x (every other day)
10/14 - 148.0 - Starting off on a nice round number. Got new running shoes yesterday, and they feel great! I’d forgotten how big a difference good shoes can make for my knees and feet. Did the new core exercises this morning; here’s to a great round for everyone!
10/15 - 147.2 - Ugh, yesterday was HARD. I don’t know what the trigger was (lack of sleep? hormones? too much calorie restriction?) but I was SO HUNGRY all day. I wanted to eat everything in sight. I managed to mostly stick to my meal plan, but still indulged in some extra bites here and there. I’m happy about the scale going down, but I’ve got to make some modifications if I keep feeling like this. It’s not worth it and definitely not sustainable.
10/16 - 147.2 - Happy to hold steady after such a big drop yesterday. Still not sure what caused such extreme hunger, but I felt much better yesterday and today. Will be ordering out for dinner, so will need to plan carefully.
10/17 - 147.8 - Not surprised, for two reasons. One is that we had take-out pizza last night that was very salty - both kids woke up wanting water overnight. The second is that I’ve been tracking my weight with HappyScale (after seeing it recommended here!) and I can see that I generally have a bump up every 12-14 days and I was due for one. Knowing that history makes it a lot easier not to freak out when I see the number on the scale go up.
10/18 - 147.8 - High again, but it’s also now TOM, so again, not too surprised. Also felt very sore and heavy trying to exercise this morning. Just got to keep eating well and trust that the scale will go back down.
10/19 - 146.4 - There we go, back on track!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 187.2 I feel like I have been getting a little lax with my calorie allowances. I need to find some mojo and stick to my goal for several days in order to get the results that I want. On the plus side I am still (slightly) below my trend line. Est. Cals yesterday: 1827 due to wine and chocolate, when I started back counting calories I was leaving an allowance for these treats so I didn't go over, gotta get back there mentally.
10/15 187.6
10/16 187.2
10/17 187.8 Just hanging out here.. really surprised it's not worse considering it's TOM and I've been eating a lot more treats/calories. Hopefully the hormones will settle and I can resume a more stable path.. Trend is flatlining but I'll drink a lot of water today and preplan my food.
10/18 189.4 estimated cals 1486 I am guessing this bump is due to eating sushi for lunch.. rice and salt. Hard to get the calories right too.
10/19 188.8 estimated cals 1434 ready for the scale to behave itself now..

I need to reassess my goal for 2020. Today I stand at 197.6. Can I lose 5.6 lbs by December 1st? My weight loss journey has slowed down. I know I have gained some muscle (no complaints) and today is October 12. December 1st is 7 weeks and one day away. I should be able to lose 5 and half pounds in the time frame and at least 1 more NSV. Who knows what it will be.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 I refuse to record what it said this morning.
10/15 199.3 Better but still not great. With the increased hunger I am trying the afternoon tea. Which is helping but it not great. I have been over my calorie goal (not including exercise) almost everyday for the past 2 weeks. Yesterday I was under. Where did my resolve go? She is missing replaced by this hunger monster. Drink water, eat healthy snacks, get in my walking and some planks…
10/16 198.7 TOM almost over and swelling going down. Had a good calorie day. 15000 steps Wednesday and Thursday yesterday 1564 in calories. Afternoon tea is definitely helping that monster. Plus I am eating a little more in the morning. A 450 breakfast will last longer than a 350 breakfast. I cannot skip breakfast. Favorite meal of the day.
10/17 198.4
10/18 198.7 still getting in my 15 minutes in the AM. Long walk yesterday.
10/19 198.7 doing well this weekend no change is better then uptick. Made some apple crisp this weekend. Very good no guilt.

🏃 10/14: 158.4 I didn't really want to restrict myself on any sort of food, but maybe, just maybe, I should make an exception for processed fried foods. They never sit well despite being ever so delicous. Lmao. It is only a pound and just gives me more to lose this round. I am ready! Today is Ring Fit Adventure Day! Due to all of these fluctuations, I will wait it out another round before I consider my mini goal of 158 achieved. I'm still on cloud nine just getting into the 150s. I almost can't believe how much I've achieved in only 60 days. I know this recurring thread has played a big role, so thanks to all who maintain it!
🏃 10/15: 156.8 I had steak and green beans for dinner yesterday, so I ate much better overall, though I did have Ramen noodles for lunch. I didn't, however, get to Ring Fit. It has been too long, so I will try to exercise today.
🏃 10/16: 156.4 I instictively started typing "16" instead of "15" out of habit. Lmao. I still haven't played my fitness games, yet, but I'm glad that my numbers are still looking good while I gather the motivation to play.
🏃 10/17: 155.8 Yahoo! I was a little worried because I had chic-fil-a, but it all worked out anyway!
🏃 10/18: 155.2
🏃 10/19: 155.6 A few ounces is really nothing. However, the real problem is my inactivity. I need to exercise today for sure. It's been almost a week and all the returns from my previous workouts have been diminished and spent.

Previous Round
Round 128: 138-139 (+1)
This is a gain in pounds but yet I feel less dread about the scale. I committed to 10 days of daily weigh-one and I did it! The scale used to delicate my mood. By the end of my 10 days, it didn’t. Hopefully that will continue. I am going to try it again!
Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 143lbs. (But I didn’t panic!)
10/15 140lbs. (Better but it isn’t making me obsess!)
10/16 139lbs. (Every day the scale matters less and how I am eating and moving and feeling matters more...of course it is nice to see the number go down but I know I can go back up, too. Slow and steady!)
10/17 134lbs. (So this was good. But slow and steady. Slow and steady.)
10/18 138.5lbs. (Alas, this makes sense...it is “that time of the month” and sometimes on the first day it is a gain of 6 or 8! So this is something of which I am VERY familiar-ugh. The main goal for today is to get my daily run in and my exercises done. I won’t feel like eating but I won’t feel like moving either! Haha!)
10/19 137.5lbs. (Eating right, running even in the rain, just keeping on keep in’ on!)

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
One cough can change your life
Take care! Stay safe!
October focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 128- Stabilise weight under 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2020
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

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.

Kids sprung the Bookweek parade on me for tomorrow. A rush to the shops for materials and a planned dinner out the window. At least the kids will look good tomorrow.

Friday drinks. I haven't done that for 20 years. I am a slow drinker, so have one small one while everyone else has 2-3. Saves calories at least, and means I can still drive home at the end.

TOM is causing a really sore back. I'm just going to take it easy with a heat pack. It generally doesn't last more than a day or 2. Got my first weight loss comment today.

I really need to redo my rotating dinner menu. Pasta isn't a good option for me anymore. I made my own, leftover soup, coleslaw and eggs.

Challenge for this round will be to get solidly into 132's.

10/14 178.8 T.O.M started today and the chocolate cravings came back full force lol Must. Resist. Temptation...
10/15 178.8 Normally the 2nd day of TOM there is a drop but I'll take staying the same over an increase.
10/16 178.8 I ate like crap yesterday. Went 300 over my calorie goal. Oops. Back on track today.
10/17 178.4 A little loss. I'll take it!
10/18 178.2 Getting closer to my round goal. I got told yesterday that I shouldn't lose any more weight. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing because I still have quite a long way to go. It was from a coworker that always seems to have a comment about everyone's weight. Annoying for sure, but for them to tell me that I'm looking great and should stop now, was kinda weird.
10/19 178.0 Well I made it to my round goal! Slow but sure. After I had my last baby in 2013 I was at 250lbs. I got down to 178 before giving up. I am excited to see that number and PASS it this time! Happy Monday!
10/20 177.2 I passed it Now to keep motivation and keep going! I ended up getting a 2nd job for Christmas money. My sleep schedule will be all over the place pretty soon. 3 nights and 2 day shifts a week. Life will be crazy until 2021... not like it hasn't been already. I'm hoping working more will help my progress.

Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days10/14 112.7 This will probably go up because I splurged on Chinese food for dinner. I was so exhausted tonight from moving for three days, work being busy this week and TOM. Now that I do have more control over what we’re eating for dinner, this Chinese food won’t set me back as much as it would have when living with my in-laws. Frankly, I feel like I need a night like this every so often to keep me sane and not as crazy about food. Have a good rest of your night!
10/15 113.2 Did not post
10/16 (113.4) Haven’t weighed yet today. Food was good yesterday. I had left over cous cous, pork tenderloin, and then a giant apple with peanut butter for my breakfast. Then, a plum for a snack and dinner was homemade leek, potato, and kohlrabi soup. It was a pureed soup base (leek, onion, and potato) and then I added fresh csa corn from the cob to, fresh diced carrots, shredded CSA greens (I think they were collards or broccoli rabe, not completely sure), green beans and chicken thighs to give some texture and color. We also had salad and a roll with it. Yum! It reminded me of chicken pot pie but a lot lighter. Left over soup will be dinner tonight or maybe lunch. I’m not sure yet about that. Hoping for today to be a little less crazy with work. We are settling in to our new apartment and will be hanging up our pictures this weekend, which will make it feel a little bit more cozy.
10/17 113.0 Not too much on the agenda for today. I think we’ll be hanging curtains and a couple other things. We plan on getting Thai for lunch, just to try out the restaurant and then not get takeout for a while after today. I’m cool with that and looking forward to masaman curry with sticky rice. I plan on using our portable sauna thing later today, so helpfully that will help with some of the excessive water retention from salty Thai food. I’ll have a peanut butter and apple for breakfast, Thai for lunch and something light for dinner. My body is just tired from the events this past week and being in a new place, so I’m looking forward to this low key weekend. I was light headed this morning so I’m going to refrain from exercise today at least and take it as a sign I should take it easy. Have a happy Saturday everyone!
10/18 Didn’t weigh this morning, didn’t bother to see the Thai food water retention. Yesterday was a nice day getting settled. Hanging the curtains were a success and made a huge difference for sleeping last night! Today has been productive with hanging some canvases on the walls. Of course, one piece of a canvas set doesn’t want to stay on the wall with the Command hangers. 5 out of 6 have stayed up along with two pictures using the picture frame Command stickies. Oh well, I have re-alcohol swabbed the wall where the canvas fell from and will reinforce it with another hanger even though the other piece is doing fine with one hanger. There’s always one in the bunch that’s a pain, isn’t there?
I had oatmeal for breakfast with added oat fiber powder, inulin, and then added raisins, peanut butter, maple syrup, butter, a dash of salt, ½ an apple, and pumpkin spice seasoning. It was so yummy and the little touch of butter added so much flavor and tied everything together! I have chili in the croc pot simmering away with a combo of ground pork and ground beef and a whole concoction of different spices. This recipe calls for cinnamon and I love the depth of flavor the cinnamon adds to it. I’m looking forward to having that on top of pasta tonight. I can’t decide yet if I want to use brown rice pasta or black bean pasta. I’m leaning towards black bean pasta for fiber and more protein.
10/19 113.2 Woohoo! The Thai food didn’t stick like it normally does 😊. I plan on doing a spin bike workout today at some point. My plan was to do it this morning, but my husband has a busy day and asked if I could do it later, so he could try to sleep longer. So, my goal is to do a workout later in the day, which is typically a challenge for me because I get into a groove of my other things for the day. I think dinner tonight will be left over chili, or that may be breakfast. Once again, I’m undecided. Breakfast might be a chocolate protein cake. That chocolate craving is starting to come around again, so I might nip it with the protein cake recipe. If anyone is interested I’m happy to share it!
10/20 114 Food was pretty good yesterday, we did end up having baked chicken fingers for dinner last night but I was aware of my portions and had a salad with it to add some veg to my dinner. I managed to do the spin bike yesterday as well, so that was good! I hope you all have a good day!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 - 72.7 - Weird day at work yesterday. TW: Men being inappropriate at work:One of the guys I work with turned up to a group social (online) chat just not wearing a shirt. I know it was just a social call, and we're normally fairly relaxed about dress codes (dressing gown and onesies have been a thing before), but that definitely crosses the line. It made me feel really quite uncomfortable, a kinda put a downer on the rest of my day. It also didn't help that I don't particularly like this guy (because he's a massive tool). Managed to set off all my anxiety and social triggers and really put me out for the rest of the day (and screwed getting some work done afterwards). Spoke to HR last night and feeling much better this morning.Because of that, food wasn't top of my brainspace yesterday. But ended up with a very small deficit for the day. Was really tired and got an early night, so had a much lower expenditure than I normally would. And I think I ended up not having much to drink yesterday evening as I woke up this morning feeling very dehydrated (makes my abs pop though lol). Overall happy with my weight, expecting it to go down a little bit again tomorrow
10/15 - 72.2 - Just over yesterday, countered by the day before's just under. So maintenance is going fine right now. Happy with that weight, hoping it's going to stop bouncing around at some point and stay a little more consistent day by day, but I think that's just me being hopeful. Besides it was only last week I was complaining about getting the same number for several days in a row. It appears I'm never happy. Today I'm WFH and we have our digital teambuilding (read wine drinking time), so I'm expecting to be a little over there, however I'm also expecting to do some physical work as we've got some stuff to take to the tip today, so hopefully I'll get enough exercise to make it work out about even.
10/16 - 71.8 - Wasn't expecting that. Almost certainly massively dehydrated from the wine yesterday. Although didn't drink nearly as much as I used to. I think my tolerance has dropped enormously (not that it ever was that high), probably due to the fact that I don't really drink that much anymore. Food about level, drink pushed it up over somewhat. And I am HUNGRY today. Right now I'm pondering if it's acceptable to nip to the cafe up the road for lunch. They do an excellent fry up. But I really do not have the calories for that, so lunch will be lunch at home. I might be in maintenance week, but that does not give me licence to go away and eat all of the things.
10/17 -72.1
10/18 - 72.1
10/19 - 72.4 - Well, that's my maintenance week over. Over calories for the week by around 250kcals, which, while not great, isn't really that bad. Especially considering that around 500 of those were alcohol related because we had our company teambuilding, so I'm not overly upset by it. As is standard practice, the weekend was a great calories wise. Judo on Saturday followed by a dog that needed walking and a long walk out with the family on Sunday gave me a huge amount of calories for those days, (which is how I managed to only be 250 over for the week considering the couple of heavily over days I had midweek). Proud of myself for yesterday as I managed to stop eating food twice because I wasn't hungry any more. Both brunch and dinner I didn't eat everything because I wasn't really hungry any more. Back to the grind today, although we do have a late judo session, so I'll be working out hard today as well. Should give me the calories to keep to the deficit for the rest of the week. And I've got already logged left overs for breakfast this morning, so I'm expecting today to look very low in the diary.
10/20 - 72.4 - As expected, a pretty good day yesterday. Well under calories for the day, and a nice hard judo session. It should be giving me a nice bank for the rest of the week as I always find weekdays much harder than weekends. Tummy's feeling a little off this last couple of days so I'm thinking I might be switching food to a few more plainer meals and probably cutting back on the milk based product for a few days to hopefully settle it. I say as I then have yoghurt in my breakfast shake this morning.

This was my version of it yesterday but it is highly adaptable. This recipe is highly adapted form a recipe from this cookbook: Rocket Fuel: Power-Packed Food for Sports and Adventure by Matthew Kadey RDplayhardkf2017 wrote: »29 yo female

It's a great cookbook filled with snacks and fueling around workouts. I love it! I also made these mango energy bites for a charity soccer tournament and people were obsessed with them after trying them!
0.25 tsp, Cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon, Baking Soda
10 g, Pasture-raised Grass-fed Beef Gelatin (unflavored)
7 gram, Egg White Protein - Unflavored (You can use any type of protein powders you like, these are just what I have and I like the combination)
6 gram, Cocoa Powder
8-12 g, Coconut Sugar (or any type of sugar)
1 Egg
15 grams, Inulin Powder (If you decide to purchase inulin, build up gradually with it. It can cause gas and sometimes make you go a little too easy. I would start with 5 grams at first to see how your body responds and increase accordingly). I have gotten to the point where my gut is used to it, so I don't have any adverse effects from it.
8 g, Oat Fiber, (Instead of using the fibers you can use a couple tablespoons of flour, which is what the original recipe calls for)
19 gram, Organic Creamy Unsalted Natural Peanut Butter (you can use any type of nut butter)
15 grams, Organic Neufachtel Cheese (I used this yesterday because we didn't have any yogurt, so I just added a little bit of water to the recipe as well) If you have yogurt 30g is typically a perfect amount for the recipe.
Mix everything up in a bowl and microwave it for 45 to 90 seconds depending on your microwave. I like mine gooey in the center, so I check it sooner rather than later.
This might actually be my breakfast again today but I'm going to try a yellow cake version. I hope you enjoy it!
Depending on ingredients used, its anywhere from 375-425 calories. I think mine clocked in around 400 calories yesterday.6 -
Round 129 starts off with a day of restaurant dining for early Anniversary (10/15). Something not faced in prior rounds. Should be fine as I am continuing with pre-track planning the best I can. Goal for this round is to try and finish under 145.0 which translates to -1.0. 59th Birthday is coming early next round and I am pushing to be under 145.0 for that occasion. Success this round will make that likely.

10/14 – 145.2 Well yesterday, I survived well enough dining out (2 days early) for 37th anniversary. Pre-planned what I was going to order and tracked it ahead as well. Did not even look at the menu. Crossed my “base” goal calories, but did not exceed base + exercise. Ironic that my weight finally moved after several days of seesaw despite eating under target and exercising.
10/15 – 145.2 Happy with the number. I’m ok with no change. (Happy 37th anniversary today to me and Hubby. Already celebrated on the 13th as Hubby has to fly/escort his mother back to Florida today)
10/16 – 145.4 always a little back and forth! :P
10/17 – 146.2 Was making Halloween goodie bags and then had a sugar melt down. A totally untracked quantity. Over and done with. Move on.
10/18 – 146.0 repairing the damage
