Day before yesterday my calories were right in check, yesterday not so much. Had some beers last night after work. Today will look the same as we are going out to celebrate St. Paddies day tonight.

So the last two days are right where they need to be. Calories were nice and low the first day i was here and then yesterday they were up around the 2000 mark. Thankfully I rode my bike last night while watching an episode of Narcos. Today is more of the same, not going to crazy on anything. Keep my calories around the…

So I finally made it to Siberia. I ended up staying in Moscow for over a week and that is worse then a vacation on the diet. Many many meals out and many many beers during those meals. The good news about my extended stay in Germany and Moscow is also the bad news. It only allows me two weeks to get down to business and…

Another trip home, another failed attempt at checking in everyday. The month off worked out well and by the end of it I had gained 1.2 lbs. Not too bad considering we took a week long trip and ate out and drank every day. I've been in Germany for three nights now for meetings and am heading to Moscow in a couple hours for…

So as I should have expected things aren’t going as planned. I haven’t gained any weight but I surely haven’t lost any either. I’ve been fighting a cold since the day before I got home and a week and a half later I feel like it’s winning. That’s not an excuse it’s just one of the reasons why I am letting myself not…

Nice work Tiffany, good to see you’re still killin it in the exercise department.

It’s been a couple days since I checked in last. I’ve been doing alright in the calorie department but no where near a 2lb loss a week. Haven’t been able to muster up a workout either for a few days. On Sunday we went out and bought a beautiful 42’ 5th wheel trailer for at the lake so I’m pretty pumped for that, they said…

Lazy? You are the furthest thing from lazy!

Hey everyone, I definitely don't plan on stopping the updates now that I am home. In fact, I typed up a really nice update yesterday on my iphone, clicked post and it simply vanished so i figured I would just update today. I am serious enough about keeping on track that I decided against booking another trip to Hawaii this…

Last day in this frozen *kitten* hole. Start the two day journey home at 4am tomorrow morning. Yesterday Calories in 1984 calories out 2094 deficit of 110 Running deficit 30850 Theoretical weight lost 8.81 lbs Apparently Garmin Connect wants me to go home sooner then I am supposed to. There's no way I only burned 2094…

Same story as yesterday, -41, no exercise, 1.5 days of work left. A bit more steps out in the shop but nothing to write home about. Calories in 1854 calories out 3449 for a deficit of 1595 Running deficit 30740 Theoretical weight lost 8.78lbs. Just this morning I was back down to the weight that I was on January 17th. That…

Personally for me, it's when I don't log that it gets away. Even if I am over by 3000 calories in a day I need to log it to see it and believe it.

Nothing to report. It's too cold to have any enthusiasm. Cold on the ride to work, cold all day in the office, cold on the ride home. The energy that sucks is ridiculous. -38 today. 3 days of work left. Calories in 2114 calories out 2668 deficit of 554 Running deficit 29699 Theoretical weight lost 8.49lbs.

Nice work on the couples evening. I haven't had one of those in months thanks to having a 4 month old.

Glad to hear you're killing the workouts. What is MFP censoring?

Yep I too have an Assault Air Bike, is it loud? Yes. I have it in my basement so I don't really care that its loud.

My first tracker was a Fitbit Blaze. Loved it, no question about it. My issue with it is that it wasn't waterproof. Now I run a Garmin Fenix 5. It was much more money but I'm a fan of big watches so it fits me just perfect. I found that my fitbit gave me more false steps than my Garmin does, especially on bumpy car rides.…

Sorry make that -36 :smile:

Yesterday was better. Finally hopped on the bike again and went for a fairly easy ride, still can't work up the courage/enthusiasm to do an Insanity workout. Calories in 1874 calories out 3346 for a deficit of 1472 Running deficit 29145 Theoretical weight lost 8.33lbs No workout this morning. It's stupid cold here again…

Thanks for that information Tiffany. Will look into something when I get home from here. Last night, more bad decisions, no workout. No workout this morning. Need to go home. Calories in 3054 calories out 2895 surplus of 159 Running deficit 27673 Theoretical weight lost 7.90lbs The self sabotage is real.

Yeah my sleep patterns are pretty messed up. The longer that I am in Russia, or the longer I am at home, the harder time I have falling asleep. I might be completely wrecked tired and still can't fall asleep because I can't shut my mind off. It's been like this for several years now. I've tried all the off the sleep aids…

Well that's great news! It's pretty unreal that by simply eating in a different manner allows you to indulge in the items that were constantly plaguing you in the past. I guess you're one of the new KETO advocates now!

Yesterday went much like I expected. No workout. Lots of beer, lots of pizza, lots of calories. Stepped on my scale this morning to a nice 6lb gain over yesterday morning. It was rather amusing. Calories in 3682 Calories out 3248 for my first surplus of the shift of 434 calories Running deficit 26754 Theoretical weight…

Thanks Kayla I was lazy again last night, didn't do anything other than watch tv. Deficit was on point, although not on point to make my 229lb goal. Still pretty much at the 2lbs a week loss mark. Calories in 1895 calories out 2962 for a deficit of 1067 Running deficit 27188 Theoretical weight lost 7.77lbs Do I feel like…

Last night started an Insanity workout, gave up mentally somewhere around the 30 minute mark, ended up hopping on the bike and went for an easy 30 minute ride. Huge deficit but still not happy with my workout, I know I can do better, my body is ready to push harder but apparently my mind is still weak. I'm running out of…

Last night had a lack luster Insanity workout. Not happy about it but not too disappointed, I just thought that after a day of rest I would have had more energy then that. Unfortunately I ate a large snack after my workout and that put a damper on my huge deficit I had going. Calories in 2170 Calories out 3901 for a…

Tiffany, what all are you guys doing to your vacation place? Is it like a full reno on a beach house or something? I apologize if you have spoken about it before, I don't remember reading about it.

If you only went 28 calories over your daily goal that's still a huge win. That's like the difference between licking your fingers or wiping them on a napkin so good job. Looking forward to hearing about the weigh in.

If it continues to be a problem I am going to have to look into something. Last night it wasn't an issue at all. I got to the apartment from work around 8pm and was asleep by 8:05. I woke up at 11:30 to call call from my wife and daughter so I woke up and cooked a couple meals for the next few days. No workout last night…
