Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days11/18 Scale is still being weird. Did a nice recovery run this morning clocking in at 5.75 miles and an average of 11:42/mile. I’m now at my cousin’s place watching his English bull dogs until Sunday. I have brought lots of healthy foods with me and will be making myself chili (I have been craving it for weeks now) tomorrow for dinner. Dinner tonight will be Amy’s frozen Indian meals with a piece of naan. Breakfast and lunch was also on point today as well. I’m hoping my body and scale sort out the wonkiness so I can get a decent reading on the scale again. On the bright side, my running is getting better 😊.11/25 Did not weigh. Did my own turkey trot today around the neighborhood, clocking in at 6ish miles this morning. Made the cranberry sauce this morning, the roasted and mashed butternut squash is all done, and the stuffing/dressing is in the oven and perfuming our space with the scent of summer savory. Yummmmmm! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
11/19 Did not post
11/20 Went for an epic run yesterday and a nice long slow run this morning. Did not weigh, still at my cousin’s place watching his two bull dogs. Food has been great and I even had a non scale victory of not eating this salted caramel blondie thing that’s here. I realized how much one serving was and realized it wasn’t worth the calories because it was about 200 calories for 1.5 oz. Instead of the brownie I had a serving of full fat plain yogurt (120 calories) with one of the peanut butter cookies(90 calories) I made and a tbs of the chocolate hazelnut butter (100 calories) for a total of 300ish calories and a whole lot more satisfying than 4 bites of a brownie.
Breakfast today: prerun- 2 raspberry zucchini corn muffins post run-full fat plain yogurt, honey crips apple, tbls chocolate hazelnut butter, 2 flourless peanut butter cookies plus a scoop of protein powder in water on the side. Lunch is going to be leftover chili and mac and cheese. Dinner will be a veggie miso broth based soup with a couple of eggs.
11/21 Did not weigh. Rest day. Headed home from dog sitting. Food has been good today but I just feel hungry in general even though I’ve eaten a amount of calories. I think I’m more hungry because I had less sleep this weekend than I normally get.
11/22 117.8 Post workout. Finally, back at I number I don’t mind seeing. Those 120 readings were making me nervous. I ran 6 miles this morning and plan to do my strength workout today during my lunch break. Breakfast was a strawberry beet smoothie (frozen strawberries, 1 small beet, frozen peaches, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, ginger, and coconut water), lunch will be akmak crackers with tahini and a drizzle of honey with an apple and maybe an ounce of cheese, and then dinner will be about 8oz of marinated skirt steak in a bulgogi marinade and the side will be brown rice, broccoli and carrots. Feeling good! Happy Monday everyone!
11/23 Salty dinner last night, ended up getting Thai takeout. Made a batch of dandelion tea to help with some of the water retention and have been siping on that and drinking a lot of water today. Making the steak tonight for dinner that’s been marinating since Sunday afternoon. Got in a nice slow/recovery run in this morning and kept my heart rate lowish/in the aerobic zone. Starting to get my to-do list for Thanksgiving together and figuring out the best timing to do some of the steps for the different dishes I’m making. I’m making my grandmother’s Canadian stuffing that has potatoes, white bread and the typical onions and celery but it also has summer savory instead of sage as the main herby flavor. Then I’ll be making mashed butternut squash and cranberry sauce.
11/24 The salt is still sticking around. Went out for a chilly 6 mile run this morning and did my strength workout during lunch. Breakfast was a large smoothie, lunch was a protein shake and an ounce of cheese and dinner will be homemade pizza (made the dough last night). I’m excited for the pizza because I’ll be able to know exactly what I’m eating and still be able to fit it into my day without going over on calories. Tonight after dinner will be busy with prepping some of the Thanksgiving items. Tomorrow will definitely be a splurge but as long as it’s one day, it shouldn’t kill me. Then, I’ll just continue to eat sensibly on Friday and throughout the weekend. I’m looking forward to the goodies and the time with family.
Also wanted to say, I am so grateful for this group!
I LOVE summer savory seasoning. If I add more than salt and pepper to a dish, you can almost guarantee summer savory will make an appearance.4 -

18: 217.6 ♀️ THERE it is. Great way to start off a new round.
19: 217.2 ♀️ Last night, my kids and I finished off the last of the high calorie bacon cheeseburger soup I made earlier this week. I had to guess on the macros. Not sure if I stayed within my calories or not, but I logged it the best I could. Next time, I'll create a recipe on here, so I can track it better. Going for a float session with a friend of mine this afternoon. It's been months since I've gone, so I'm really looking forward to it.
20: 215.9 I love seeing this progress! Logging my food is the "magic" key for me, along with checking in here daily. I'm very excited to see where I'll be by the end of this round!
My float session yesterday was great. I'm hoping to start going once a month. Need to wait to see if it's in my budget for December. If not, I'll start in January.
21: 215.3 Game day today, and it's a big one, so there will likely be a bump up tomorrow because of food and drinks. I intend to indulge in moderation.
22: 214.4 The friend I was supposed to be going out to watch the game with had something else come up, so I watched the game alone at home. Saved myself some money and calories.💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
23: 214.9 🥚 Day 1 of 7. I hope to keep the daily increases that typically happen for this week every month in check. Heading to the gym now. Started a 50 squat/day challenge today. Also want to get back to fascia blasting, even if it's only 5 minutes a day.
24: 215.2 🥚 Well below calories yesterday. Macros and water intake were good too. I was kind of hoping that I could offset the hormone gain. Oh well, at least it's minimal. Went to the gym. Forgot my 5th set of squats until I was already settled into bed. Still did 40 more than I normally do. Lol
The disagree stalker has now been banned from MFP Community Forums. The person who's been helping with this was pretty shocked that the person did not heed the previous warnings. Sounds like it's not very common to have to completely ban someone from the forums. Glad that's done with.
25: 215.7 🥚 Another half pound of hormone weight gain. I have no plans for Thanksgiving, so I should have no problem staying on track today to keep gains minimal. I figure even if I gain a half pound per day, I'll still have lost 3 pounds this round. It helps to keep things in perspective.
26: 214.0 🥚👀 I wasn't expecting to see that for a couple more days! Had to step on the scale twice just to be sure. I ended up going with a friend to a community Thanksgiving meal yesterday afternoon, then out for drinks. The meal was modest , but too many drinks for sure. I choose low calorie, low/no carb drinks, but still, I don't know how I'm down 1.7 pounds. I normally see my mistakes on the scale the next morning, not days later, so I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.

RGW: 151.7 pounds (-2 pounds)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/18: 153.7 - Only a short walk yesterday, but ate within calories
11/19: 154.5 - Normal workout, did takeout for dinner and ate 1/2 portion.
11/20: 155.0 - I can’t see any obvious reason for uptick in weight other than perhaps sodium. Calories and exercise have remained the same.
11/21: 153.4 - I’ll take it!
11/22: 152.6 - I’ll take it again! Something I still haven’t internalized is that what I eat/drink generally takes two days to show up on the scale.
11/23: 153.9 - Had Indian food take out last night for the first in a long time. So delicious, but I’m sure heavy on the fat, carbs and salt.
11/24: 152.6 - Happy Thanksgiving!
11/25: 152.6 - Basically did OMAD yesterday. Worked out but didn’t quite counteract all the calories from Thanksgiving dinner.

11/18 - 192.4 / Frigid winds here right now are making my walks interesting. Hit my 10K steps last night by completing the last bit inside. Making it work!
11/19 - 192.4 / Had a tofu bowl meal my husband wouldn't have liked before he got home from business last night and did a whole wide range of exercise. A good day. Eating at maintenance today for my mom's birthday celebration.
11/20 - 194.2 / Ate just under maintenance for my mom's birthday yesterday. Did my Peloton FTP test as well.
11/21 - 194.4 / Yesterday was a day of a bit of everything - walking, biking, strength, yoga, plus some car rides, some lazy time. Hiking today.
11/22 - 193.8 / Husband and I did a hike that was just over 10K in the deep snow yesterday. A great workout. We followed it with a nice dinner out but choices remained within calorie limit.
11/23 - 194.2 / Two fun rides on the Peloton yesterday and lots of steps on top of that. We went to Zoolights last night.
11/24 - 192.4 / Off tomorrow and Friday for an extended long weekend - I'm Canadian but we are still cooking a turkey and watching football, why not! Go Bills!
11/25 - 192.2 / Went over my food intake today, but had a great time watching the game. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans. I did get in a 45 minute Peloton ride this morning so I was happy for that.
11/26 - 192.4 / Off to a fun Christmas market later today. The sun is shining, hope to get out for a walk beforehand.

Thank you musicsax for keeping us going with another round!
May 10, 2021:183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)
Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!

11/26 DNW - I'm not eating leftovers today from Thanksgiving (other than the turkey) because I ate enough leading up to it. The rest of the cornbread dressing (other than what my husband will eat) is in the freezer. The half of cake that only I'm eating is in the trash. I feel bad about being so wasteful but the only place it was going was in me and that is a waste as well. I should have made one layer. I'm not freezing it either because I'll be thawing it out in the middle of the night to eat
I'm glad the eating part of the holiday is over!
11/27
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!6 -
I was going to try posting the next round of this challenge but have no idea how to do that since this format change. I think I used to click on a pencil and go from there. No pencil, no place that I can find to start an initial post. Maybe it requires using a computer rather than my iPhone.🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ It sure is frustrating! 40 minutes and nothing.3

Do you see a round blue icon with a plus sign in it somewhere on the screen in the Community section? I have an Android, so I don't know if it looks the same on an iPhone.

Hello! I’m new to the forums. I am a 29 year old female, 5’7. I originally lost weight in 2015 (~190 > ~145) with calorie tracking and experimenting with different types of exercise. I eventually settled into a strength training routine and have been in maintenance mode for several years. I am lifting stronger than ever… but I’ve been ignoring the cardio sections of my workout programming, have let my diet get lax (I’m an ICU nurse and donuts, donuts everywhere as everyone’s idea as a morale boost in COVID era), and noticed my clothes were starting to feel a bit snug… so, I started tracking again about 1 month ago with a starting weight of 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day (I switched to a primarily vegetarian diet a few years ago while I wasn’t tracking food and have had to make a conscious effort to get my protein intake up over the past month), avoid added sugars, add 20-30 minutes of HIIT or rowing on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days)
11/18

11/21
11/22 150.0 Scale hasn’t moved much over the past few days. I’m coming off working 3 long, stressful days. I got my Covid booster shot this morning, but managed to get my meal plan for the week, grocery shopping, a 3 mile walk with the dog, 20 minutes of HIIT, and a hefty pull day in before I started to feel icky from the shot. Dinner was spicy roasted chickpeas and carrots with farro and baked tofu. Protein: 136g
11/23 150.6 Diet has been really clean, so not too worried about scale. Slept pretty poorly with my sore Covid arm. Got in 3.5 mile walk, 30 minutes of rowing, and heavy leg day. Feeling sore from pull day yesterday. Went out to eat for the first time in a while before doing a safari lights walk at the zoo. Protein: 140g
11/24 150.8 45 minutes yoga, 30 minutes hit, push day for weights. There’s a potluck at work for thanksgiving tomorrow and I prepped a roasted sweet potato, wild rice, and pomegranate arugula salad to take + some for dinner. NBA game tonight. Protein: 127g
11/25 151 Thanksgiving day at work. I always sleep poorly before work and have been reducing caffeine trying to improve my rest, but I think a lot of it is stress since I sleep fine with plenty of caffeine on non-work nights. I avoided the spread of snacks at work. Dinner was slightly festive with roasted Brussel sprouts with balsamic, cranberries, and pecans and tofu. Actual thanksgiving meal is on Saturday. Protein: 113g
11/26 151.8 Another work day. We almost always make an evening meal that makes 4 servings, so I eat the previous days’ dinner for lunch. Dinner tonight was a roasted cauliflower, green olive, black lentil salad with seitan. Proper thanksgiving meal tomorrow. Protein: 127g

**************************************
11/18 143.6 (trend 145.9) Big ol' drop overnight of 2.6lbs, this is totally out of character for me and I'm hoping it doesn't mean my scale needs replacing! I barely ate yesterday as I was still struggling with my digestion and wanted to give my system a break, seems to have worked nicely 😁 Also I realised that I did actually lose last round, I thought I had stayed the same but really I just can't count and had miscalculated my numbers so 0.4lbs lost last round, yay!
11/19 143.8 (trend 145.6) A little bounce back up but I'm still chuffed to bits with my progress after weeks of stagnation. Had an inactive day yesterday, I needed the rest. Feeling more energetic today so better make the most of it. Finished painting the kitchen finally after 4 coats on walls and ceiling so time to tidy up and move on to leveling the floor. AF
11/20 142.8 (trend 145.3) I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at the scale this morning and saw that 2.8... Holy moley!! So that puts me at bmi 24.9, I'm at a healthy weight! It's taken 140 days to lose 38lbs and go from class 1 obese to normal weight, so so excited! I am gonna have to give myself a reality check as my trend weight still needs to catch up and I'm bound to fluctuate back up a bit but wahey! Need to start planning what my next mini goal will be... AF
11/21 142.4 (trend 144.9) Still going down, lovely! I've been really active the last few days, down on hands and knees, trying to remove hardboard that's been glued and tacked down onto my floorboards, for 9 hours each day. I can really feel it in my muscles so I was expecting some water gain but nothing so far. I've got so much more energy than I did about 6 months ago, I was so tired all the time and my joints hurt. I'm much more flexible too, it just makes everything easier!
Hubby has been away for the last few days so I've had a lot more control over what I eat and drink, and less temptation! AF
11/22 141.8 (trend 144.4) No bounce back yet, fingers crossed it'll hold. Hubby came back yesterday and wanted us to go to the pub but I didn't want the temptation of a nice cool (carb and calorie laden) beer so we stayed home. Really trying break the drinking cycle at the moment, doing well. Can I go sober until Christmas? Maybe. He ordered a domino's pizza but I didn't have any, phew! Knowing what happened last time with the cramps, constipation and water retention makes it much easier to abstain. AF
11/23 141.4 (trend 144.0) I really don't understand how I'm still losing each day after such a long slow losing spell of about 2 months.. don't want to say too much in case I jinx it. Been alcohol free for 5 days and getting really good sleep so maybe it's that. AF
11/24 140.6 (trend 143.6) Should be finished with scraping the floor today, after 5 solid days of it I've had enough, I will miss the workout though. Weight's still dropping somehow, this puts me at 40.2 lbs lost!
Saturday is going to be crazy, we have to fly to Portugal and back on the same day, yikes! I'd have liked to have stayed a few days but ticket prices are too high and really were only going to pick up some mail. I always swell up horrifically with water retention when I fly, must remember to wear large shoes! AF
11/25 140.2 (trend 143.2) Had an attack of the munchies last night but managed to ride it out and got away with only having an ice lolly and a spoon of peanut butter. Hubby wanted us to go to the pub again but I managed to persuade him not to. It's making me feel guilty though, he works from home and has a really mentally demanding job so in the evening he wants to go out and unwind but I can't do that unless I'm just gonna sit there sipping water, which is pretty dull. I'm missing our mini dates though, glad we're going to spend some quality time together this weekend. AF
11/26 140.0 (trend 142.7) Delighted to have got my trend weight down to below my UGW so I can now start working towards my UUGW of 130, though I think I'm going to change it to 122.3 as that's right in the middle of normal bmi for me. Way over calories yesterday due to drinking and snacking, whoops! I've been working really hard and think I just needed a break. Back on plan today, resting and preparing for travel tomorrow.
11/27 142.0 (trend 142.6) Well this was a bit of a surprise this morning, 2lbs up? How? I stood on the scale about 10 times but got the same number. Oh well, I passed my goal this round and reached my UG so all is good and this just serves as a reminder to not get complacent, just a shame it happened on a day when I'm recording weight for key days in several challenges! Reminding myself it's all about the long game and keeping an eye on my trend weight. See you guys in 170 x6 -
Round 169 (101st for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
I am pleased that I got back on track last round. There is only 37 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 5 pounds for then, that is only 5.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and give it a go. Feeling already better about the dress I want to wear for the start of December for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic, cases are continuing to rise: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.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!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

It never ceases me to amaze me how I can put on 2-3 pounds by over eating for 2 days, but eat well under calories for more than those days and the scale barely moves! There is no justice in this !! And that I think is what makes so many people disheartened, but keep the faith and keep going!!
11/24 133.6 – 10.2 miles walked yesterday, then helping my sister in her newly purchased bungalow that she is renovating; we cleaned down the woodwork today after the plasterer had redone all the walls & ceilings; hard work !! She fed me, very tasty Thai soup, but when I entered it in MFP the sodium content was off the scale !! I would like to maintain this weight for tomorrow, will be chugging water all day to flush it out!
11/25 133.6 – 10.13 miles yesterday, calories well in credit, carbs 12 over, pleased yesterdays number stayed.
11/26 134.4 – 5.18 miles walked yesterday, I did overindulge, calories & macros over and only 5 miles walked, but stopped short of a binge which is a plus & I look and feel lighter, clothes are nicely fitting again; they were starting to get a little tight! Moving on !
11/27 134.4 - 10.2 miles walked yesterday, heavy carbs day. 0.6 pounds lost since end of last round, didn't meet challenge of 1.4, but a loss is still s loss 👏, always want more!!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE
. Keep calm – Covid is still out there take care, we're still in this together!

I think I used to click on a pencil and go from there. No pencil, no place that I can find to start an initial post. Maybe it requires using a computer rather than my iPhone.🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ It sure is frustrating! 40 minutes and nothing.
I can help if needed please let me know if it’s from an iPad/iPhone or android, I have both, lol.
I don't mind doing it again, but, I'm away in our caravan until tomorrow afternoon, I've tried to do it on my android phone and can't, but can do it on my laptop tomorrow pm. Unless someone else wants to do it in the meantime. And I will post it in the challenges this time !!

Hi all, this is my second round, hoping to lose lots of weight, its a great help! 😀
30 year old, 5"3
SW: 174 pounds
Day/Weight/Comment
11/18/ 174/ long day, had to do alot of driving didn't have time to eat till late, had a small cottage pie 300cals and a small pancake, lots of tea and coffee. Didn't have time to take supplements.
11/19 / 173/ lost a pound, so happy 😊 taking adios tablets today, legs really hurt from youtube vid exercise two days ago, going to have hot bath, had to drive for over an hour today. I really feel I can keep this diet going, already lost 9 pounds, first benchmark of a stone lost is just five pounds away. I can do it this week! Motivation stays strong.
11/20/ 174/ don't understand why it went up, but its not going to just drop off over night, will try not to worry and keep going, only thing with any calories or carbs I ate today was a sausage roll. Cut down on my milky drinks, no more limitless cups of tea and coffee. Got this far in the day without hunger pangs making me snack, so doing well.
11/21/ 172/ down two pounds from round start, up early doesn't help snacking, felt my blood sugars where slightly low so had a biscuit and a proper dinner, was visiting parents so couldn't resist a home cooked meal made by mum. Still kept to my limit, drove 1 hr today so couldn't be bothered to excersise tonight, nothing planned for supper, so will have lots of camomile/ green/ spiced tea and look forward to weigh in tomorrow.
11/22/ 172/ just realised my scales do a point, I've been working it out from stones in my head, dafty! 😅 Will have decimals tomorrow. Going in right direction anyway, plan on doing 15 minutes on exersise bike today, and ate a banana for breakfast, pie and potatoes planned for dinner, not much protein, so I'll have extra chicken, and a few slices of ham. Bring on tomorrow's weigh in everyone, let's do this! No pain no gain, I've got to exercise more. Got pedometer but needs battery, so that to sort out, soon be counting steps.
11/23/ 172.4 / staying steady in weight last three days, don't know how my eating today will affect tomorrow had a blow out today with cinema popcorn and restaurant Xmas Dinner. Nervous for tomorrow's weigh in. 😬
11/24/ 175.0/ up since yesterday, no big surprise, hope the wheels aren't coming off, but I think I'll do better from tomorrow, lots of exersise planned.
11/25/ 175.2/ went horse riding for an hour which is good exercise, restaurant meal afters, had a sizzling steak, was my only meal today, no snacking.
11/26 /176.0/ went shopping for ages today, lots of walking, had a flapjack for a snack, one of those high protein ones, I'll have something healthy for dinner maybe fish. Four pounds heavier than my lightest this week. Its fluctuating too much for me just want to finish week lower than I started, wish me luck for tomorrow.☺
11/27 / 174.2/ back on track, had such a hunger last night though, went over my target by 200 calories at least, overall I think this has been an eye opener, I know now how to lose weight and how to gain it, eating restaurant meals is a nono, and exercising more is a must. Think I was eating too little the first round I did, this round has put me right in my place, need to go to shop and buy more veggies 😆 hope everyone did better than me, till next time!5 -

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/18 209.2 Walked 3 + .6 + 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Results from Grimaldi’s pizza for lunch and then Los Tios Mexican dinner.
11/19 209.6 Walked 1.3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Definitely not controlling the intake nor measuring it. Sigh …
11/20 209.1 Walked 3.3 + 3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 38th Anniversary dinner with DH at Ouisie’s Table, 2 glasses wine.
11/21 208.5 Walked.6 + 3 miles, 1860 cal, 58 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Meals were pretty good but I got into the snacks in the afternoon. Steak night and my sister joined us which leads to more wine.
11/22 207.0 Walked 3.6 miles, 2042 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Made this yummy Olive Garden like soup recipe Zuppa Toscana Soup but with cauliflower instead of potatoes. I use frozen cauliflower flowerets and spinach (draining them before adding to the pot). https://www.shugarysweets.com/low-carb-keto-zuppa-toscana-soup-recipe/
11/23 207.5 Walked 3.6 + 1.4 miles, 1728 cal, 69 net carbs, AF. 2nd Shingrix vaccine (Shingles) and Tdap vaccine (Whopping Cough). Whooping Cough vaccine is recommended at least 2 weeks before being around a newborn and of course this new grandma is going to heed the advice! So 2021 we got 7 vaccines: 3x COVID, 2x Shingles, Flu, Tdap … I call this fully vaccinated 😂
11/24 208.5 @ 3am [/b] Strength Training 1 hr, no walk (DH walked the dogs while I was at class), 1894 cal, 212 net carbs, AF. Easily made it through class but then the vaccines from yesterday really kicked in and knocked both DH & I off our feet. Tired! Headache! Chipotle for lunch and Grimaldi’s Pizza for dinner. Not the best choices but I’m not up to fighting the battle. What is it they say? Feed a fever 🤒
Should You Feed a Cold and Starve a Fever? - The answer is no. In actuality, you should feed both a cold and a fever — and starve neither.
11/25 206.6 [/b] Walked 1 + 3 miles, 2217 cal, 96 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Still very tired yesterday… up at 3am when fever broke. Enjoyed lunch and decorating a tree for TX Children’s Hospital with DD and put out my outside Christmas lights. Woke up feeling better this morning! Tracking all my food the good the bad is working as usual. The trend is going down. I’m hosting lots of family today … I’ll try to be good
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
11/26 208.6 Walk cut short due to it raining on us! Walked 1.3 miles, 2783 cal, 244 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Lovely day shared with lots of family but as always way too much food!
11/27 208.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles with the dogs after a long drive. No fishing Friday … too much wind. ? cal, ? net carbs, AF.
Lots of ups and downs this round but I did jump back in and not skip checking in. Now to make some progress after Thanksgiving indulgence.6
