Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 152

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

06/01 - Definitely expected a jump up on the scale. Quite happy it didn't! Linner ended up being a later dinner (6:30-7) instead and I broke my fast at 17 hours with a small bit of meat and cheese since I started feeling a little iffy. Ended up losing my water cup (Fam found it after we left) and didn't get my water in. I don't even know how much I drank other than not enough. Tonight we are back at Fam's for my GodDaughter's 5th birthday! She wanted steak, shrimp, and boudain! Need to figure out what's on hand for a light lunch to balance out a heavy dinner. I have another water bottle right now that I know measurements and will be focusing on that for sure today, especially since work will be busy
06/02 - Birthday was a success. BF and I split a piece of cake and stayed within calories including exercise. Drank 90 oz water, fasted 16.5 hours. Kiddos coming today, BF is up getting ready to head out to get them. I'm up early because I'm a light sleeper and have to be up in 45 minutes anyway for work. Will be grocery shopping tomorrow or Friday with kiddos to get them cereal, milk, and to pick out lunch stuff so I'll be able to grab a couple healthier lunch things for me as well. I think I have some frozen veg I can whip up for lunch today. Think dinner will be with Fam again so their kids can see ours (they LOVE each other). Plus, our kids haven't met my Godson since he had his transplant. A whole different kid since then and they're in for a treat! Hopefully I'll be more awake after my morning meeting to sneak in a workout since I'll be in the house alone.
06/03 - Definitely expected to be up. Kids got home late and wanted food. BF wasn't hungry. We all walked to Sonic to get dinner at 830pm (eek! I hadn't eaten, either so I was ravenous). Only fasted 14.5 hours yesterday and then that super late dinner will cause another short fast today. I'll be back on track for fasting tomorrow and hopefully being over calories yesterday won't rear its ugly head at me then.
06/04 - Not sure if this was Asian food (homemade, but still has plenty of sodium), two days ago finally catching up, or both. Also, I've noticed a firmness in my legs and glutes I hadn't noticed before. I look hourglass, but my hips, glutes, and upper legs carry most of my weight. I noticed my hips and booty looked way small once I started losing some weight and decided I don't like that! My lower body is my powerhouse!!! My kickboxing workout is a full body, but still quite leg/glute/hip heavy and I love it. Plus, my surgeon said to keep my glutes and hips strong to help keep my spine stable in hopes of pushing off another fusion as long as possible. I think I assumed I had decent muscle because I have a bit of a booty but now I'm starting to see it may just be genetics depositing a lot of fat there. It's nice to have muscle instead, I feel so much stronger (: With that, this little plateau may be me not being 100% perfect in diet along with gaining some muscle faster than losing fat. But the muscle will help burn that fat so I'm alright with it. I know what dinner is tonight, thankfully, so I can plan head for today. If the rain holds off, I'll try for a walk with the pup
06/05 - Homemade enchiladas last night and pizza for lunch. Dairy overload. Didn't work out, but lots and lots of walking and playing (17,590 steps. My normal is 5,000-7,000 on non workout days). Fasted for 17.75 hours. Drank about 100 oz water. Finally got some decent sleep in!
06/06 - I know I couldn't have out-eaten my exercise calories.... But I definitely did not get enough water in. At a car show and couldn't bring my water bottle in. To buy was EXPENSIVE and it was HOT out. Today we are going to the land so I'm hoping that we are able to stop at the store to grab more waters (especially for kids). I don't have much of a job or anything to do, so hopefully I won't get distracted enough to forget to drink. Must try to drink extra since it's another hot hot hot day. Finally starting to feel like summer
06/07 - I'll take that! I managed to drink about 107 oz. Maybe not quiiiiite enough, but better and the weight shows the improvement. Didn't exercise normal, but kiddos wanted to play baseball (4 person) so I ended up running after balls that were hit. Did get a bit of a sunburn from being in the sun literally all day so recovering from that. I have some cream, but now looking into making more. Haven't been good with fasting, but given the circumstances, it was by choice to ensure I'd be alright. Today should be easy to hit 16 hours, hoping for longer. Woke up from middle of a dream so have a headache now, hoping it'll pass soon so I can knock out a workout.
06/08 - I have no idea what this is about. Drank 90 oz water, fasted for 18.5 hours, under calorie budget, did my workout and took the pup on two walks (one morning, one after dinner). I don't look or feel bloated. The scale is a funny thing... Not terribly worried about it, although it is frustrating.
06/09 - I behaved the day before and got a high number on the scale. I didn't behave yesterday and I got the same exact scale reading. Hmm...Did fast 16 hours, drank 90 oz water. Everything else wasn't ideal. I did measurements this morning. Waist is 1/2 inch bigger, thighs are 1/2 inch bigger, booty/hips are 1/2 inch bigger, but my belly pooch (biggest part of belly right below belly button) is the exact same. I'm alright with the inches gained where they are and it DOES make my belly pooch look smaller in the mirror. Bonus? I'm hoping this is a small indication that my hopes aren't false and I am going through a bit of body recomposition. I can't imagine how the gains in inches are fat unless my metabolism is really THAT slow. If it is, I'm in trouble because I'm doing way too much activity lately and I'm afraid to drop calories any lower for fear of losing the muscle I have. And I am noticing I'm feeling stronger and can push harder in my workouts. Makes me happy and feel much better about all of this, despite the scale. Doing some reading yesterday. Body recomp (losing fat and gaining muscle simultaneously) can be done but takes longer than focusing on maintaining muscle only while losing fat before switching to gaining muscle once fat loss goal reached. I'm okay with the long game since this is a lifestyle change. I'd rather be strong and pudgy for a bit than weak and skinny (I lost a LOT of muscle mass after surgery) I'm going to call this a total MINDSET VICTORY! Before I'd be so worried about losing fat as quickly as I could but now I want to be healthy and the fat loss will come in time with healthy changes.
