100 day Challenge October 27.24 – February 03.25

Hey new friends! 🎉 This is my very first 100-day challenge, just in time to conquer the holiday season and I’m excited! My goal is to lose 7 lbs by the end or roughly 0.5 lbs/week.

For me, it's all about healthy eating and getting my portions under control. I don’t have any strict workout plans 'cause I’ve learned that juggling too many goals just makes my brain melt 🧠💥. I try to stay active, but I’m totally a "go with the flow" kinda person—no step counting here.

About Me - Canadian, work full time remotely, been on MFP since 2010 so I’ve been trying to lose the same 10, 15, 20 lbs for almost 15 years! 🤣 HW 184.6 May ’24, I love puzzles, Netflix, puttering around the house and my cats!

Week 1

• Day 1 (10/27) 171.8 lb. Ran 10k, goal was 1800 cal. Garmin said I burned over 800 cal during my run but those are wildly inaccurate so I count that as 400 cal, then ate back about 200. Ended the day at 1850.
• Day 2 (10/28) 172.8 lb. I'm sure this gain is due to my big run yesterday and muscle soreness, I'm trying not to get bothered by fluctuations due to good things like exercise or strength training. Have a family birthday dinner tonight, have already looked at the menu and nutrition and pre-selected something. While I'd love to splurge, its not my own bday and I just don't think it's worth it today. I'll probably steal a fry or two off someone! 🍟
• Day 3 (10/29) 171.6 lb.🌮 I’m loving these daily reflections so far! Last night’s dinner out strategy: I pre-selected fish tacos and a small soup for about 800 calories, plus I had a protein snack before heading out (because prep is key, right?). Someone ordered appies for the table, and I did have a few, but I restrained myself. Ended up skipping the soup, and the fish tacos were awesome! I even ditched the tortilla on the second one. Still over my daily calories, but let’s be real—it feels unpossible to stick to a deficit when restaurant food is involved! This year, I've been working on changing my mindset around food, reminding myself that food is NOT entertainment. Last night was all about the family vibes—we laughed, shared stories, and celebrated a birthday. The people were the highlight, not the food!
• Day 4 (10/30) 171.6 lb. Hit the gym yesterday for a lower body strength session, feeling sore. Ate well, then bff called right before dinner to see if I wanted to go out to eat. We shared a main dish and appie. No idea on calories so prob another day not within deficit but I’m happy to have developed better restaurant habits so each visit isn’t a complete calorie blowout. Intentionally have not bought my halloween candy yet, will do that today to limit the damage! 🍫
• Day 5 (10/31) 172.0 lb. No willpower around Halloween candy, someone brought me a giant cookie I ate it, rode the bike for an hour, tomorrow will be a better day.🫡
• Day 6 (11/1) 171.8 lb. Hmm I’m back to Day 1 weight, I suppose that’s ok and it’s not an overall gain and I have to accept that with 2 restaurant meals, and Halloween candy. I’ll take it as a maintenance week. Time to buckle down again! [/color]
• Day 7 11/02 171.8 lb. First week in the bag! Yesterday rode bike on Zwift for an hour, today did ParkRun (edging closer to my 50 milestone! Ate well today.

Week 1

Day 01—10/27— 155.3. My weight is much higher today than it's been recently. It's the result of enjoying a few (too many) beers with friends and eating out yesterday. I'm sure a couple pounds will fall off in the next couple of days as I get back to making good choices.

Day 02—10/28— 154.9. I made much better choices yesterday. Hopefully my body will catch up soon, and I'll return to where I was before the weekend (152, roughly). I walked and ate within calories. I also did some meal planning and prep to prepare for the week.

Day 03—10/29— 153.7. Slowly coming back down. Lots of walking, some body weight exercises, and yoga. Eating was great, with no deviations from the plan. I just need to make this the norm.

Day 04—10/30—152.6. Another good day. My husband started nibbling on the Halloween candy, but I used all of my willpower to resist. More walking and yoga.

Day 05—10/31— 153.2. I've had a really good week so far, goal wise- much better than usual. Yesterday was a bad day for me emotionally. I think part of it had a legit reason, but that just spiraled into feeling all of the current stresses of life. However, I didn't turn to food and still did the exercise I had planned. So in that way, it was a win.

Day 06—11/01— 151.2. Happy to have a bit of a woosh. I've been doing good at resisting Halloween candy so far, but we still have some in the house. I'm going to try to be good. I didn't do well at meeting my exercise goals yesterday (steps, yoga), but my eating was good. I just have to maintain this loss until tomorrow to beat my week goal...
Day 07—11/02—151.6. It's close enough to my goal for the week that I am happy with it. I added in the exercise bike at the gym to my workout. Overall, I'm quite happy with how this week went. I'm proud of most of the decisions I made
