Goals for this round:
- Weigh every other day
- Add 100 calories to daily calorie goal
3/13 - DNW - It was hard NOT to step on the scale this morning! I’ve gotten so addicted to seeing that number, even if it went up rather than down. I made myself drink some coffee so the number wouldn’t be comparable anyway.
3/14 - 126.2 - So much for easing into maintenance. We’d planned to do a Pi Day/St Patrick’s Day party today with the other family we’ve podded with during the pandemic, but upon hearing that it’s supposed to be cold and rainy today we made the quick change yesterday morning to move it up to last night. Plenty of tortilla chips, one extra slice of pizza and a piece of Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate pie later, and this is the result on the scale this morning. (I regret nothing - that pie was incredible 😂) I expect that to drop back to around 125 in the next few days. I did go out for a 5K run this morning - 10:30 minute/mile pace and I didn’t have to stop and walk at all!
In the meantime - today is meal prep day! Definitely not dropping that. I’m going to make carrot cake overnight oats & egg muffins with corn, bell pepper and cheddar for breakfasts and chicken larb plus rice for lunches this week. I’m also making a lemon asparagus soup to freeze.
3/15 - DNW - Getting my head in the right place over not weighing is so hard. I “know” the weight isn’t going to suddenly reappear if I don’t weigh in each day, but I still struggle with feeling like if I stop any one of the steps I’ve been doing all my progress will vanish. I did a 30 minute strength workout this morning and I think I have a new strength goal - push-ups! I’ll see how many full form push-ups I can do and try and build from there. I know I can do one, but not more than 5. I’ll build from there!
3/16 - 125.2 - I’m having more trouble adjusting to Daylight Savings than the kids - I’m staying up too late and getting up to exercise is so hard. I’m happier with that number on the scale; I’ve been staying around 1850 calories a day though it’s tough with the chocolate pie in the house. I’m making healthy green (spinach!) muffins with the kids today, but we’ll be doing shamrock shaped rice krispy treats tomorrow in addition to corned beef, cabbage and carrots for St. Patrick’s Day.
3/17 - DNW - Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️. Ran a 5K with a friend this morning; she normally dresses up as does a big fun run today, but with COVID-19 of course that’s not possible. So I offered to run with her just to make the day a little more fun for both of us.
3/18 - 126.2 - Corned beef last night means that sodium is wreaking havoc on the scale this morning. I definitely didn’t drink enough water yesterday to help with it either. Strength training this morning so I need to get out for a long walk tonight to get my steps in.
3/19 - DNW - Turned my walk last night into a 2 mile jog - I’m still amazed at how EASY it feels to run now. Running has always been difficult for me and I avoided it, but now I’m actually enjoying it. I just need to be careful, since I messed up my knee back in high school (ripped my MCL and tore up the meniscus) and I don’t want to injure anything.

03/19 - DNW - I had to use the bathroom and woke up with my eyes absolutely STINGING. Decided to curl up on the couch with my water and a series of lubricating drops before taking an hour nap again. Figured after drinking so muc water before my nap, I wouldn't get an accurate weigh in and skipped. Better now, think I just slept so hard I missed a couple middle-of-the-night eye drop sessions I typically have and they were extra dry. Today is last day before kiddos go home. I know there's enchiladas for dinner tonight. Fasted 16hr yesterday, 65oz water. Today I fasted 15hrs and currently behind on my water, but chugging away.

Previous Day's Comments03/13 - Not enough water and a late night snack (kids man...they want a snack then don't eat it. They'd only eat it if I ate one.) 62oz, 16hr fast. BF left early this AM to pick up kids for spring break so I'm going to run errands and get some things done I needed today.
03/14 - Expected. Texas is open again and my town is back to being vacation/bachelorette party central. BF and kids arrived at 7. They wanted Mexican. Unfortunately, the wait was FOREVER and we didn't get food until 9pm. Was short on water, as well, from running errands and the daughter drank my water haha Oh well. Fasted 12hrs, stopped while running errands to support my friend's small business and she had a new drink for me to try. I can't NOT get it. That's why fasting is flexible, right? Once everybody is up and moving, we are going to Fam's land to do more tree cleanup from the winter storm and then have fun with kiddos. Hopefully I'll burn some extra calories and be able to get my water in to flush some of this out. I won't be surprised if it takes a few days.
03/15 - Still dealing with sodium-related water retention. Again, I'm expected it to take a few days to drop off. Back to the grind with work, which will hopefully keep me in line fasting and water wise.
03/16 - Down it goes, hopefully it keeps going. Fasted 16.5hrs, about 95oz water.
03/17 - Still coming back down. Wish it wasn't so slow, but that's my body for ya. Daughter drank my water again (why won't she get her own cup?!) so guestimating about 70oz water for me. Fasted 16hrs. Happy St. Paddys Day!
03/18 - Stepped on the scale 3 times, thinking it registered high. Either its all messed up or I've somehow gained? I am feeling a tad bloated, but nothing crazy enough to cause this weight. Oh well. I hope it'll drop by the end of the round and isn't a true weight.

Late Start! Goal: 5000 daily steps min to start with (:
03/02 - 5,739! Didn't expect that at all
03/03 - 4,887.... Wish I had remembered to pay attention before I was settled in bed. Could've walked in place.
03/04 - 6,799!
03/05 - 6,463
03/06 - 9,941
03/07 - 7,344
03/08 - 3,647 Welp, that's a busy work day with too many meetings for me... Must do better today
03/09 - 4,999 Not sure if my watch and phone didn't sync? Swore I was over 5k haha oops
03/10 - 6,258
03/11 - 4,938 Once again, I think my watch didn't sync correct because I definitely remember it being way closer to 5000 before I even got up from the couch to do my nightly routine. Oh well.
03/12 - 5,726
03/13 - 5,197 Unfortunately my running of errands consisted of more driving around than anything... Today will make up for it

03/16 - 5,155
03/17 - 8,998

I don’t see the funky columns you are talking about, so maybe it’s just in your end. Use the color and whatever else makes you happy!2 -
It must be because I see a different column with every smiley face. Trying to put a screen shot but its getting distorted.

SW:223.2lb
GW: 178lb
CW: 216.4lb
Hoping to get down to 214lb during this 10 day cycle.
Day/Weight/Comment
03/13- 217.8lb! Lots of snacking, albeit on ‘healthy’ food and wine have contribute to this. I know it’s not a real gain and will come down in the next few days with an increase in me drinking water. I’ve been for a lovely 10km walk today and will do another one tomorrow. I’m not hungry today, so I’m listening to my body (for a change) and will keep the calories low.
03/14- 218lb. Was well under with my calories yesterday, only ate 1400 plus did a 2 hour walk. Plenty of water today and a nice walk should start to see the scales go back down. Although I love weighing each day and completely understand why weight fluctuates so much, it does take a while to truly make peace with the fact that just because you were well under the day before doesn’t necessarily mean a drop on weight the next day. Looking back at previous weigh ins, most of my ‘drops’ appear to be mid-week, after my body has had chance to flush out excess water from the weekends workouts.
03/15- 216.6lb . Happy to be down, but would like a couple of days in this direction! Great NSV today, came home knackered from work, headache and generally not feeling great. Pushed myself to go on a walk with my little boy- even if it was just a 5km walk.
03/16- 215.6lb. Happy to see it go down again. Got a long day at work, so I’ve come prepared, packed a healthy lunch plus a healthy snack for early evening. Hopefully this will leave me feeling satiated until I get home and not cause a hungry binge!!! Feeling a lot better in myself, despite realising just how far I’ve got to go to get near my goal weight. Need to stop thinking about a date for when I want to have hit it, just focus on the process of being healthy and getting fitter. Cannot wait for the gyms to reopen in the UK!!!
03/17- 214.6lb. Another pound lost on the scales!! All calories and meals are planned for today and I’m going to stick to them. Got a massive cooking session tonight after work to make sure that my meals are prepped for the rest of the working week.
03/18- 215.8lb. And so the ever more predictable pattern continues. A drop only seems to appear on the scales on a Mon-Weds, then all other days are either slight increases or my weight stays the same.
03/19- 215.2lb.
03/20- DNW. Went over my calories significantly yesterday, lots of wine and sugary things. It would be highly demotivating to see the scales today! Lots of water, a long walk and a pre-planned day of meals should help. Back to weighing in tomorrow!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 129.6 – 10.35 miles walked yesterday, pizza night within calories, but carbs heavy. Happy Mothers Day to all Mom's out there.
03/15 129.6 – 9.47 miles walked yesterday, stayed within calories & all macros. Had lovely video calls 03/13 128.8 – WOWEEEE!! Couldn't quite believe this, got on & off 4 times, even picked the scales up & put them down again before the last weigh in!! but every time was exactly the same. If the scales are my best buddy this am, the weather definately was not yesterday, heavy rain meant I was forced to use the car rather than walk to volunteer session at vaccine centre & of course as soon as I got there it stopped and the sun came out . Managed to get 9.53 miles in afterwards. Excellent healthy food day.with DD, DS & DGC and lovely delivered flowers.
03/16 129.6 – 13.21 miles walked yesterday, had a little chocolate, but kept within calories & macros.
03/17 131.4 (uhh!) 12.4 miles walked yesterday, went overboard with eating determined to stay on track today & loads of water. Happy St. Paddy's Day to all my Irish friends.
03/18 131 – 11.74 miles walked yesterday, back on track eating wise, all calories & macros in green.
03/19 130.2 - 12.08 miles walked yesterday & a really good on track eating day well in calories & macros.
03/20 129.6 – 2 days to keep under that 130. 13.32 miles walked yesterday – trying hard to get that step average back up to 23,723, it's certainly challenging!! Food well on track & within calories & macros.

03/17 145.6 Wow, not sure what caused the sudden weight gain. I did get my 2nd covid vaccine yesterday, maybe some inflammation. Hopefully it'll drop back down tomorrow.
03/18
03/19 145.4 Just realized I forgot to post yesterday. Weight is still up, I really don't understand why. I felt pretty crappy for 2 days after the vaccine shot, so maybe that's the reason.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/13 173 I will spend this round in Florida on different scales but with more opportunity for outside activities.
03/14 173.2 Travel day yesterday so food choices were limited until dinner. Did fine then. Hoping to get control of what someone else on the forum called the “scale creep” this trip. Going to bike to breakfast this morning and get in lots of activity today.
03/15 172.8 Much better food day yesterday and solid exercise day. Rode my bike 10.52 miles and got in a good walk at sunset too.
03/16 173.6 Vacation food. High salt in my lunch yesterday with some seafood nachos, so hopefully some of this is water. Lots of exercise though! My body is tired and sore today, which is a good thing! Won’t get as many steps today because we will be on the boat this afternoon/evening.
03/17 173.8 I had really hoped that so much exercise would allow me to enjoy some vacation food and not gain any weight, but that hasn’t been the case. At least the gain has been slow. I guess I can just hope to limit the damage.
03/18 175 I’m learning that I can’t out-exercise poor eating habits, but since it’s vacation, I will just have to deal with it and do the best I can.
03/19 174 Better.
03/20 174 Lots of walking yesterday; I channeled my inner @musicsax!

Personal exercise goals for March:
Average 10,000 steps a day
Walk or ride 150 milesWhen I count miles walked, it is just those that are tracked by GPS. I don’t use my watch “total miles for the day” number—just, when I go out for a walk, I log that. That’s why I’m working on my overall step count this month. I’m interested to see what effect getting in more steps throughout the day has on my TDEE number I can track in my watch/phone. Think I’ll add that to these numbers just so I have an easy record. I think that might be important long term, and I’ve never paid much attention to it. So, I think I might gain some insight this month by tracking all of this. Fingers crossed!Average Steps: 12,147

Round 144
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
3/13: 211.6
I had ¾ of a Jack’s frozen pizza last night. Having some friends over tonight, so tomorrow could be higher. Sous vide steak, finished on the grill. They are bringing the dessert. I better try to limit the damage today until then.
3/14: 212.8
3/15: 213.4
As you can see, I had a bit of a discipline problem over the weekend. And, I am still carrying around ALL of that lack of discipline. Had some friends over Saturday night that we had not seen since December. Plenty to eat and drink. Yesterday we had leftovers.
3/16: 212.8
The second half of this challenge needs a miracle.
3/17: 211.6
“Slowly, drop the green beer and step away sir.” Happy St Pat’s everyone!
3/18: 212.0
Time to examine my logging habits. I may be underestimating on quantity. Or, not logging everything.
3/19: 211.6
I think his has been a stressful week. Stress makes me want to munch. I have TMJ problems so I can’t chew gum.
By the way, lack of stress makes me want to munch.
I guess I will quit blaming stress. 😊
3/20: 211.8
This is amazing considering the salt shaker carb bomb I ate last night.
