Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 179

wakegrrl · March 2022

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
5th round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.

Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
CW: 248.6
UGW for now: 200, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with
2022 goals: move more (okay, move some), eat mindfully

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 248.6
2/27 DNW
2/28 249.4 This weekend was incredibly hectic. Saturday was all meals on the road, and I wasn’t particularly thoughtful about what I ate, so I was not surprised to be up today. At any rate, all meals are planned and logged for today, and I’m making sure to get all my water.
3/1 249.6 I should have learned by now that I’m going to bounce around for a while after a few big drops. So we’re bouncing! Challenging catered lunch today at the office, but stuck with salad and chicken. And a couple of small squares of chocolate cheesecake found their way onto my plate and have been tracked. 😊
3/2 248.4 I guess this constitutes a whoosh. Hubby and I officially joined a fitness center and I went to work out last night for the first time. Walking and elliptical with no knee pain – such a relief! Plus upcoming consultations with their RD and personal training staff.
3/3 248.6 Back in the office today, which is quite a shift. It is nice to see people in person again though. Meals are neither planned nor logged, because I didn’t plan very well to be out of the house today (definitely out of the habit!). But I will do my best to make good choices.
3/4 249.4 Not surprising to be up today after yesterday's lack-of-planning carb fest. Today has been a real *kitten*show so far; my work computer died and our IT "support" isn't calling me back. There's a bag of peppermint patties calling my name in the pantry downstairs but so far I have managed to stay on target and avoid them. The way I feel today if I eat one, the rest of the bag will soon follow. @coblujay your painting is wonderful!!
3/5 248.4
3/6 247.6
3/7 247.6 I'll take that drop at the end of the round. This weekend was busy but I did a pretty good job tracking and keeping up on water.

Round ended: -1.0

The bouncing continues! But overall trend is down. So happy to be under 190 kinda consistently.
02/27: 189.8 lbs (+1.6)
Had some friends over yesterday and my eating went off the rails. Not upset about it, just getting back to my routine.
02/28: 189.8 lbs (-0.0)
I'll take a push. Did an extra walk yesterday. Have today off work so planning to hit the gym hard and then have an adventure. Weather will be beautiful today and I'm not spending it inside!
03/01: 189.4 lbs (-0.4)
03/02: 188.0 lbs (-1.4)
I've never had such wild swings before. Not sure what's going on with my body!

I am dumbfounded, but delighted. Only thing I can think is the weather has been beautiful so I'm moving more and breaking out of hibernation. SO ready for spring!
03/04: 187 lbs (-0.6)
This feels great after the month long stall. Can't believe how it's dropping now. I'm so grateful for everyone's support!
03/05: 184.8 lbs (-2.2)
What the heck?! Bodies are so weird... I am officially 50 pounds down today. Gonna go find something heavy to remind myself what it's like walking around with that much extra. And bracing for a bump up tomorrow.
03/06: 185.6 lbs (+0.8)
Knew that would happen. Anytime I hit a new low it bounces up a bit before it "takes". Rest day today.
03/07: 184.4 lbs (-1.2)
Looks like a rest day was exactly what I needed! Back to work today. Smashed my goal for this round after over a month of stalling. So happy I didn't give up.

Round 179 loss: -5.6 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26: 141.5 - Had a fun dinner party at our house last night with some old work friends. Did get my workout in at the start of my day and was running around all day getting everything prepped. I decided to stop counting calories after I pre-logged and even the most minimal of servings of what I made put me over the goal. This next week I will have to work hard to get back down to where I ended the last round, just in time to travel and eat out the last few days of the round.
2/27: 141.3 - Although I’ve been exercising and getting a lot of move points on my Apple Watch, I’m disappointed in myself the last 2 nights of late night eating. Totally within my control, but need to stop it. What the two evenings have in common were that my eating patterns were out of the norm. Night 1 was the dinner party - fine to go over calories, but really no need to keep eating after the guests have left. Last night was a hockey game - ate dinner early and had a lot of calories left to meet goal. Guess what I did at 10pm? I recognize the issue, but don’t yet quite have my habit/strategy in place to combat it every time.
2/28: 140.2 - Yay! Back to where I ended the last round. Focused on my calories yesterday. Did my normal workout plus a 3.5 mile walk. Good sleep.
3/1: 140.4 - Interval workout and a short walk. Normal eating, a little high on carbs/fat. Slept well.
3/2: 140.4 - Interval workout and a short walk. Normal eating.
3/3: 140.4 - Holding steady.
3/4: - DNW - traveling and no scale. Got my workout in before a 5 hour drive. Eating was within calories but barely as I had to estimate dinner.
3/5: - DNW - traveling and no scale. 8 plus miles of walking yesterday to counteract eating out for brunch and dinner.
3/6: - DNW - traveling and no scale. Late to post today. Definitely went over calories yesterday, but did get a 5 mile hike in.
3/7: 139.6 - Although I didn’t lose much this round, I’m still absolutely surprised that it wasn’t a gain for the round. The last 4 days we’ve eaten some pretty high calorie, high carb foods, although not entirely blowing the calorie budget. I think the upside is we did a lot of hiking/walking to counteract some of the damage. I can’t even remember the last time I saw the decade of the 130’s - pre-kids?

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 0.6 pounds

GW-149

2/26-169-Long day in the car yesterday, so not much water. Was gone for a couple of days, but made wise food choices. I want to get a walk and horse ride in today and DH wants to go fishing.
3/1-171-Big weekend of eating and it hasn’t gotten any better. I’ve been transplanting my seedlings I’ve sprouted and we had frost while I was gone. The ones in the ground did fine. Those in containers, sitting out in the open are dead. We have another cold night coming up....
3/2-DNW-Cooked a turkey.
3/3-170-Made turkey soup. I am experimenting with the turkey from what I read on another thread......you cook the turkey, take all of the meat off of the bones, and place meat in a baking pan, pour all juice and drippings over meat. Simmer stock made from bones, skin and some spices and veges then pour that over turkey and freeze. When ready to eat it, thaw overnight and heat the next day 30 min. This saves carving the turkey while you are trying to get everything else ready. I’ll let you know how it goes.
3/4-170 Well, I made turkey soup and it’s got some salt..... I went for a short walk in the morning, especially to tire the dogs out since I was taking them to get their shots. Friend asked me to come over and quilt for a few hours in the afternoon. Quick horse ride after that then made dinner. I had pork ribs I seasoned and put in oven on low for 2 hours then just grilled to brown and they were good. Lots I want to do today!!!
3/5-168-Made chili verde, cleaned house, loaded a quilt on the long arm. The quilt is made from blocks made by my husbands great grandmother, I am going to surprise my SIL with it. I was given the blocks about 15 years ago when they cleaned out the grandmothers house. Rode the horse with the bareback pad and we we galloped a bit and dang, I am sore. Also, made high protein coffee and @quiltingjaine, it was good!

3/7-170-Weekend weight......Lots to do today. I ordered some dahlias that should arrive today, I hope!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/25 …..198.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/26 …..196.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.2) Off to a good start with a better day yesterday. Good luck everyone meeting your dietary and/or fitness goals this round. I love reading all the updates!

02/27 …..197.0 ….. Trend weight 196.4) A horrible night of mini binge after mini binge. Absolutely eating my emotions over a bad behavior I displayed and should not have. Eating my guilt over spoken words and actions that were beneath me. Today I will make amends and hope for the best. I woke up starving from such late night eating. No TMI. No sleep last night. Full of remorse paired with my guilt. God has been good to me, I should be better to others and watch my temper and wicked mouth!

02/28 …..198.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Wow! A huge jump and I’m not sure why. Light breakfast, no lunch and chili for dinner. ½ bowl because it was so FILLING! Hardly any sleep again due to grandson’s early wake-up time. I will be extra thoughtful today. I will NOT hit 200 again.

03/01 …..196.6 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Same breakfast as yesterday, no lunch again and chili for dinner, ½ bowl because it was so FILLING again! Low sleep due to grandson again. Same snack. Instead of 1.2 lb gain I had a 1.6 lb loss. The road is confusing, the journey can be strange. Keeping your eye on the prize is essential. I’m working on another good day.

03/02 …..197.4 ….. (Trend weight 196.6) Late night snacks were over the top and just too much at once and at all. Well problems again today even with the new well pump. The pump was kicking on & off quickly when using water and grinding somewhat. Sounded bad and I knew it wasn’t right. I called the well company back and they said my bladder must be bad. I had a new one put in about a year ago but they said it is definitely bad. The hardware store ones (home depot etc) are just not good. Also, of course, they cannot warranty any but their own. They said they would give me a break and do it for $900.00. That will be between 3 and 4 thousand total on a too small well that will need to be replaced at some point. Why me? Did I stress eat last night or just crave eat? I dunno.

03/03 …..196.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.6) The well company made an adjustment and we’re hoping the bladder is okay. So I didn’t have to put out the extra $900 yesterday. Let’s hope this works! An average day yesterday with food and exercise/movement yet there is a drop. I just keep bouncing back & forth and my inconsistencies are showing up on the scale with inconsistent weights. Perhaps that will speak to me loud enough.

03/04 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Very very very stressful night last night with DGS who lives with me (age 4). I tried very hard not to over (stress) eat. I honestly thought I was going to have a heart attack, I certainly couldn’t breathe. His temper tantrums are horrific and I honestly think he becomes hysterical, not just upset. The screaming is ear-piercing and he stands his ground and becomes dead weight. His mom was not home so it was on me. It’s not like this every night or day, thank God, but it’s often enough. No wonder God don’t let old ladies have babies anymore. It was too much for me. I’ve got to get him “unspoiled” or me, trying to help my daughter, is not going to work. Gosh, I love him. But it’s overbearing when he gets like that!

03/05 …..198.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.7) A whole new level of stupid. Yes, I am talking about me! Meals were very good. Snacks were over-the-top and likely related to boredom as I finally had a bit of time to myself.

03/06 …..197.0 ….. (Trend weight 196.7) My weight was sorta bouncing up & down on the scale from 197.0 to 197.4 but finally timed out on 197.0. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. Clearly I am still going up & down so regularly that even my scale is confused (and that never happens!) Very low calorie burn yesterday due to online shopping all day. I’ll have to make an extra effort today to somehow get moving! Have a good Sunday everyone.

03/07 …..198.0 ….. (Trend weight 196.8) Well, my start and my finish are the same. No progress this round and that is disappointing. I really want to be comfortable in the hot weather (no central air) so I’ve got to pull it together. Congrats to all the great changes I’m seeing in all of you and your routines!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Goals for this 10 - Hit 10,000 steps 60 minutes activity calorie range 1400-1500.

Ended 178 at 200.5
1st goal: 199
UG: 149 and a healthy BMI

Day/Weight/Comment

2/26 ~ 200.2. Went on a 7.5k walk and out for dinner was wondering if my sodium intake would be too high but I seemed to fair ok. Happy Saturday!!
2/27 ~ 199.4 I was busy in the day and the weather was terrible here so I decided to go walk the 2 largest Supermarkets to get my steps in. It worked! Hit steps and activity.
2/28 ~ 198.9 Steps and activity good. Focusing on hitting my calorie range and hitting my Fats (macros), I tend to look at calories and slight my fats so I am trying to get balanced. I am dropping fairly fast so I am over estimating but that can be because SO is home and I figure he is over using the olive oil. ... Let's bring on March!!
3/1 ~ 198.7 ... 11,000 and 62 minutes. Hit calories and upped fats.
3/2 ~ 198.8 ...13,500 and 94 min. Unplanned dinner out with oldest son. Went on a short walk around town while waiting for them to meet us. Hit fats for sure. Happy Hump Day!!
3/3 ~ 197.9 ... Not sure how this happened I was expecting an increase I forgot about a pizza fundraiser with no room in the freezer so we had it for dinner! 10,000 and 68 min. I developed a sciatica issue yesterday afternoon and am moving very slow today. Walking does help but I'm not sure I can push my step goals today as I can usually rush a few steps here and there.
3/4 ~ 199.3 ... While my weight made a large jump my body fat lost a whole %, muscle mass up 2%, interesting! I'm sure everything will change again within the next few days. 11,000 and 74 min. Sciatica still bothering me, doing lots of stretching. Happy Friday All!!
3/5 ~ 197.9 12,400 and 70. Sciatica is getting better. Yay!! Was a beautiful sunny day here today and had the grandson should have some good steps to log tomorrow. Hope you all had a wonderful Saturday. ☀️
3/6 ~ 197.7 … 19,500 and 136 minutes. That grandson is a busy guy, he’s almost 6! Looks like I wore off that cheeseburger happy meal. Looks like another day of sunshine here, Spring will be here soon.

3/7 ~ 197.2 ... Wow these 10 days go by fast!! Just 10,700 steps and 61 minutes but 18 "flights" of stairs. Hit my goals there but still working on my calories and macros. Hope to see you all next round, don't give up!!

26: 193.5 🥚 Honestly shocked by this. Fancy birthday dinner was amazing. Ribeye (I saved about half of it for today) with bagna cauda sauce, potato pave, and arugula salad with a glass of red wine. Started fasting an hour later than usual.

27: 194.9 I was so hungry yesterday. I'm not surprised by the increase, as I was well over my calories. Not a typical thing for me, so I'm confident the gain will be lost soon.

5: 196.5 It has been a CRAZY week. Not stressing about the gains. I've visited a couple different friends, had a night of drinking in an outdoor hot tub, a lazy night on the couch with Reacher and snacks, and have my kids home again after only a few days with their dad. Not logging really, but at least back to IF after the late nights with friends. Plan to be fully back in the game at least by Monday, possibly tomorrow. Thanks for the compliments deepwoodslady and AR10at50!
6: 196.6 Hormones hit hard today. Pre-TOM emotions and weight fluctuations ahead.
7: 195.8 Back on track fully today. IF, HFLC. Up almost 2 pounds this round, but I'm not stressing. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.

(Su•3/6- pm; hrs) 59g•Carbs; 64ozs water. Gained, but certainly enjoying what I have been eating! Finding fresh beef, chicken and fish in my area has been an adventure for the past 2 months. This also has spilled over to fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables. 5 supermarkets and a super walmart and many times most shelves are depleted in all the stores at the same time for days. The prices of course are ridiculously high. So, I make do with what I have. Not really a time for dieting for me, but I don't want to get past 205!

Round 178 ⬇️ 3.4

SW: 213.0

Day/Weight/Comment

2/26- 211.4 - I had a great start. Saturday seems to be the day I struggle the most.. let’s hope I can stay strong at volleyball tonight.. which is a beer league with friends 😂😂
2/27- 210.4 decent day yesterday but wasn’t expecting this drop after a few drinks last night
2/28- 210- I did good on eating but 0 activity since I wasn’t feeling good. Hoping to get up and moving a little today.
3/01- 210 had another great day. Hoping for a drop tomorrow.
3/02- 209.4 😀
3/03- 208.6 😀
3/04- 207.6 - I’ve had a great week. Hoping to continue through the weekend.
3/05- 206.6
3/06- 206 - I had a bad cheat day yesterday so I’m assuming this is from being dehydrated and will see a gain tomorrow
3/07- 206

I’m down 7lbs this round. I’m glad I’ve kept working hard and still have motivation to keep going!!

R 179 Starting weight: 177.6

Day/Weight/Comment

2/26 177.6 Holding steady! Most importantly, I've been logging my calories and staying within bounds. THAT is the real win in these early days.
2/27 DNW
2/28 175.2 I've lost almost 4 lbs! After over a YEAR of steadily gaining, this feels great! Obviously, way too soon to see or feel a difference, which is why daily weigh-ins are so helpful. That said, oops totally missed my weigh-in alarm yesterday! It'll be a habit soon.
3/1 175.6 Counting this as holding steady. I'm just really proud of myself for not stress eating during such stressful times (doomscrolling constantly)!
3/2 177 It's fine. When I was in this group last time, I plotted my trend weight for well over a year and it taught me that while I should absolutely celebrate an overnight 1.5 lb loss, I should NOT despair over an overnight 1.5 lb gain. The daily fluctuations smooth out over time and there will be a downward trend as long as I keep sticking to my plan!
3/3 176 I've never been one of those people who loses 5 lbs the first week. Slow and steady, bobbing up and down, but as long as it's ultimately down, I'll take it!
3/4 175 Lowest weight since I re-joined this group! Only 5 lbs from seeing the 160s again (yes, I realize it could be higher tomorrow, but enjoying this number today)!
3/5 176.2 Ah, well, it'll drop again!
3/6 174.4 Unexpected and awesome number to see on a Sunday!
3/7 174.6 I made it through a weekend of pizza and burgers and still ended on a loss, this is super encouraging! The scale's not moving fast, but it's MOVING. Down 3 lbs for this round!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/26 / 176 / This is a new low weight for me. I am 8 pounds away from the original goal I set to lose 125 pounds. At 168, I will be in my normal BMI range. It's funny because it's SO close after the distance I've travelled but mentally it sorta feels far yet. One day at a time, am I right? So thankful to be walking this journey with all of you.
2/27 / 175.8 / We had a great day yesterday. We drove up north with friends for dog grooming and brunch. My husband and I went to the movies at night. Got a good lower body strength day and walk fit in between the two events.
2/28 / 177.2 / Huge day of exercise today... first we snowshoed for 1.5 hours, then we did a nature walk of just over 40 minutes, and I finished the day with 60 minutes on the Peloton and a 5 minute stretch. The weather was so amazing!
3/1 / 176.4 / Busy day yesterday but I got in my 10K steps. I am starting to get the house ready for company as my dad is flying in later this week. Work is also busy and we went out at night to see one more of the Best Picture nominees for the Oscars.
3/2 / 176.2 / My brother arrived last night so we had dinner at my Mom's house. We each got take-out but my husband and I picked a different restaurant that fit into our needs a bit better. I also retested my FTP on the Peloton yesterday and I've made some great gains there. Feels awesome.
3/3 / 176.4 / Planned maintenance day today as I'm off to the Flames game with my husband for work and there will be less control on food and drink than normal. Got my Peloton ride done before work.
3/4 / 173.4 / Flames game was fun.. we had box seats for a corporate event so there was plenty of food and drink. Unfortunately they lost in OT! I haven't been to a hockey game in years. My Dad gets in for a 10 day stay today so the routine will be impacted for sure but I have a solid foundation of habits.
3/5 / 174 / First dinner out with the family upon my dad's arrival stuck to plan. There was temptation I did not give in to as it would have been mindless eating. Started today with a 60 minute live Peloton ride - my 150th ride!
3/6 / 174 / Went to The Batman yesterday... so good!!! One more day to hold my weight here and exceed my goal for this round. Off to a friend's kid's 3rd birthday party today.
3/7 / 173.2 / Nice day yesterday with a long walk and a good Peloton ride. My original goal weight is getting so close! See you in the next round.

Round # 46 for me!
SW: 365.4 (6000 step goal, goal to lose 2 to 3 lbs. each challenge, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out more than once every 10-day challenge)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
2/26 363.6 – 6015 steps.
2/27 365.4 – 6881 steps. The bump up was expected. It happens and today is a new day.

I enjoyed my splurge and back on track today.
2/28 366.2 – 6234 steps. The bump was expected again, and weekend is over. It was a great weather weekend too! I saw my Dad both days. He was in a better mood yesterday which is good. Today is a new day and Monday!

3/01 365.0 – 6319 steps. I finally got back on track yesterday and I did a Leslie Sansone DVD.
3/02 368.4 – 4283 steps. I ate out yesterday and had some very salty chips. I can’t say I was really satisfied with it either, so it was a wasted splurge indeed. I was WAY over my calories yesterday. I got to get it together today and the rest of this week!
3/03 368.4 – 6803 steps. Yesterday I got back on track again and on track today. I am going to bed early to go into the office tomorrow.
3/04 368.4 – 6062 steps. Yesterday was fine. It always takes me a few days to get back on track. At my office today by myself….yay!! Of course I have the munchies

Not bad snacks but a calorie is a calorie.
3/05 369.6 – 6007 steps.
3/06 371.6 – 4662 steps.
3/07 371.6 – 6977 steps. Well, I totally derailed

I was under calories some of these days but I did binge eat a few days so bottom line it caught up with me. On to the next round. Goal to lose 3 pounds next challenge and get back on track. I was so hoping not to see those 370’s again. Proof again it only takes a few bad days to gain a lot of weight for me.
For those who did not lose weight, never give up and please stick with the challenge! If you maintained, you did something right! Congrats to everyone who lost weight!

See you all next round!!
Total gained this round: (+6.2)

*One of my major goals is to get my BMI under 40 (260 weight) so I can have surgery on my knees*

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.

I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.

Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.

Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.

On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.

My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.

Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Nahlei · March 2022

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.

My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6

Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week. Get my spring vegetable seeds in the ground! Can’t believe we will be well and truly into March during this round.

2/26 Work 2/3. Broccoli edamame pea fried rice with seitan for dinner. Peotein: 136
2/27 work 3/3. I have an interview as for a nursing supervisor job at the hospital near me tomorrow.. hope that goes well! I don’t know if I have enough experience for the position but I’m glad they are giving me an interview. Doenjang chigae for dinner tonight. Protein: 141
2/28 First new low I’ve seen in a while. I interviewed for the supervisor position today and think it went well. The thought of going somewhere new and learning new people while also learning a leadership role is a bit scary, but I know I could handle it and it would be a step forward professionally. I knew I didn’t want to stay bedside for very long, so no point in dragging my feet. They still have another person to interview anyway. Lots of activity today. Push-up/pull across, squat clean workout this morning. Long walk in nice weather this afternoon. Leg day for strength. Hit another PR on squats.. 235 for sets of 4. Dal makhani for dinner. Protein: 159
3/1 Another low. I’ve been debating how much lower I want to go and how long I want to maintain before doing some bulking/cutting cycles. I’ll probably give it another 5-10 lbs. Did a rowing and deadlift workout this morning. Enjoyed the nice weather with my family this afternoon. Push day for strength.. more PR’s! Bench pressed 125 for sets of 2. I’m quite chuffed with how many lifting gains I’ve made while cutting this time. In the past when I’ve cut I’ve felt noticeably weaker even when under the direction of a fitness focused RD. I think it’s been helpful to faithfully follow a structured lifting program (previously I was doing CrossFit with a side of strength programming, versus now strength programming with a side of “CrossFit” style workouts). Plus I’ve been a lot more flexible on my calorie intake. I have a few months of data to work with and my Apple Watch TDEE seems bang on. So, today, I ate 2,100 calories, but that still gives me ~200 calorie deficit for the day. Previous cuts I would stick strictly to the 1600 goal (or whatever it was set at) regardless of my activity and feel hungry all the time. Anyway, I’m getting results and it feels really good. Protein: 153
3/2 Feeling like spring! The soil in my vegetable garden is still too wet, so I’m planning to get spring seeds in the ground on Saturday. Walked about 5 miles at the park. Pull day for strength today with lots of heavy rack pulls. Lentil salad with a tahini nutritional yeast dressing for dinner. Protein: 142
3/3 work 1/2. Busy busy. Roasted potato, cauliflower with a red bell pepper sauce and tofu. Protein: 116
3/4 work 2/2. Another very busy day. Work has been hard on my back recently.. we’ve had some very heavy patients and even being pretty strong and trying to use proper body mechanics I’ve managed to hurt my back a few times in the past couple of weeks. No rest for me though.. cause tomorrow is spring vegetable planting day! Dal with some broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots thrown in for extra veggies and seitan for dinner. Protein: 126
3/5 Got a lot of seeds in the ground today. I love watching the little sprouts pop up and eventually having garden veggies! Did a bear complex workout and then a trunk/accessory day for strength. Roasted eggplant and tomato soup with seitan for dinner. Protein: 152
3/6 work 1/2. Spicy roasted carrots, chickpeas, and farro with baked tofu for dinner. Protein: 126

Round average: 142.2 (-2.6)

I take measurements (cm) because they're less sensitive to salt intake. I have about 28kg to lose which is likely to take about 490 days, although apparently I've been trying to get to goal weight since Oct 2012 when I was last there.

109.5 104.0 109.0 63.0 50.5 61.5 48.5 26th no sugar, eating under maintenance
107.0 104.5 109.5 61.0 50.5 59.5 47.5 27th, eating under maintenance
108.0 102.0 108.5 62.0 51.0 59.5 48.5 28th, eating under maintenance
110.0 105.0 108.0 64.5 51.0 60.5 49.5 1st, eating under maintenance
109.0 103.5 109.5 62.5 50.5 60.5 49.5 2nd, eating under maintenance
107.5 104.5 108.5 62.5 50.5 59.5 48.5 3rd, no sugar, eating under maintenance
107.0 103.5 108.0 62.0 50.0 60.0 48.5 4th, eating under maintenance
109.0 105.5 109.5 63.5 49.5 60.0 49.0 5th, eating under maintenance
107.5 101.5 108.5 61.5 50.5 58.5 47.5 6th, eating under maintenance
110.5 104.0 109.0 62.5 50.0 60.5 47.5 7th, eating under maintenance
108.5 103.5 107.5 62.5 50.5 60.0 48.5 8th

How this round went: I lost 1.3 kg but there's no way I lost that amount of fat. Eating: I ate under maintenance all 10 days which is quite an achievement for me. Sadly I didn't do any exercise so hopefully I can start soon. I'm phasing out sugar, it's taking me a while unfortunately. Plugging the above numbers into my spreadsheet I get a trendline of 86.5 cm down to 86.2.

Starting weight (round 179): 228

Day/Weight/Comment

2/26: 228 (I was 226 the day before (2/25) and ate super salty food that day to wake up to this weight on top of not drinking enough water and I had dairy which bloats me so bad. This was - Saturday- and we went to my Pawpaw's house for deer chili. It was so yummy )

2/27: 226 (Back to my lowest weight in a little bit. We just woke up and have plans of hanging out with a friend painting in a few hours, having coffee, for dinner I am planning on making cajun shrimp and asparagus or broccoli. Might go for a walk if the weather permits. I also plan on focusing on my water intake today and on fruits and veggies in my snacks.)

2/28: 225 (The day has barely begun and I've got my coffee and muesli on my desk. Planning on a short walk on my lunch break! We ended up not having shrimp and asparagus last night, but I was able to grab a salad where we ate out thankfully!)

3/01: 226 (Yesterday we had a birthday celebration with my mother-in-law and has a lot of salty/carby foods, but it was so yummy and I don't regret any of it. A great birthday dinner for her. Today I am still focusing on water and nutrition.)
