Weight loss & fitness log

Thanks Nancy!

Didn't do terribly bad last night at friends' dinner. Did have two very small glasses of wine after dinner. Dinner was not high cal and dessert was fresh berries with a tiny scoop of rum ice cream.

Housework will be my cardio today. Lower body muscle routines. Calories under 1300.
 

We had guests for dinner last night and I splurged. I weighed with my clothes on this morning so I guesstimated my weight and added a pound. I did exercise yesterday and again this morning. I should drop a half pound of weight watching the debates tonight. Maybe i can drop the other half pound someway Friday before our weigh-in. There will be a prize for everyone who loses weight come Saturday. Yes a Banana nut Cake. Good Luck.
 
Weigh in day. But I never weigh myself after I've been out and had alcohol (often accompanied by salty food), and the scale says I'm 2 lbs more than Tuesday which is not accurate. Not changing my ticker either. I'll weight again tomorrow or Monday.

Was at a funeral yesterday and at the hall afterwards there was a wee glass of whisky, and a couple of beers. Sandwiches and cakes and donuts (although I resisted the chocolate donut). Dinner out I had sausage and mash and peas and a beer. Stepdaughter who was the driver because of car seat for son, wanted some wine when we got home, and I had a small glass with her. Oink.

Should be normal calories today. No workout as stepdaughter and son don't leave until tomorrow.
 
Weigh-Day-In Day:

Ameriscot, it's hard not to indulge when so much is going on, but I know you'll right it when you can, you're very disciplined when it comes to health and exercise. I agree that salty foods can bloat and add pounds to the scale just from water weight.

Drifter, I'm very proud of you, you are really making strides in your weight loss goal, congratulations! :D I'm the same as last week, which is good enough for me, as I didn't gain.

Hope everyone has a good week ahead! :eek:nthego:

You are doing great Drifter! Congrats on 2 more pounds gone. :goodjob:

I've learned how to not hate green tea. Put it in a black cup. Just the looks of it is half the problem. It just ain't tea if it's green. :p

I really did start again Friday, just wasn't too successful. My routine has been changed and I have no control over it (long story) and couldn't (or didn't want to )adjust. Did better today. I'm docking myself 1000 calories for the last 2 days. No sense in weighing in until some of this salt goes away. Maybe Monday.

Calories (8/8): 1400
Deficit: -600
Cumulative Deficit: = 8120
Remaining: -5880

Exercise: mowing lawn, sweeping barn, walking.
 
Guests leaving today so on my own as dh is keeping grandson entertained in the car while mummy drives. He'll come back by train tomorrow. Will do my upper and lower body muscle workouts. Calories won't be too high although they've left behind a small amount of cake (no icing) which will find it's way into to my mouth with coffee later. :p

Two weeks today until I begin my trip. Goal will obviously not be met by then.
 
I pigged out big time yesterday. I was at the trough all day rooting and grunting and slurping up that slop. I consumed five hundred ninety calories for breakfast. I had five hundred seventy-five at lunch. During the afternoon I had an apple for fifty-five calories and seven hundred and eighty for dinner making a total of 2000 calories for the day. That's what you call 'jumping off the wagon.' Then i couldn't sleep I was so bloated. I'll be back on track today with about twelve hundred cals.
 
Lol, smart about the black cup Nancy, so much of the way we react to things are the visuals. :teapot:
 
Nancy, I drink just about every kind of tea. Green tea - I can take it or leave it but try to have a mug of it every day since it's supposed to be good for you.
 
Got on the scale this morning. :crushed:

Calories today: all healthy, just under 1200 planned.

Workout at gym:
30 mins spin bike
5 mins rowing machine
10 mins elliptical - HIIT (high intensity interval training)
4 x 12 on 4 resistance machines
3 x 12 rope/pulley for triceps

Workout at home (upper):
11 routines with dumbbells - 3 x 12

Unless by some miracle the sun comes out tomorrow, I'll be back at the gym tomorrow just for cardio. If it's sunny - on my bike.
 
Forgot to get on the scale until after I got all dressed and had coffee, because I slept in the guest bedroom last night and it mixed me all up. That's another story.

Calories for Sunday: 1830.:( Will try again tomorrow.

Even though I've not met any goals, this challenge has kept reminding me to not eat too much, and that is a good thing. I'd probably have gained 10 lbs this summer without it, the way things were going.
 
Correction, I have 9 pounds left to lose to reach my goal of 185#. This will not matter in the grand scheme of things but record keeping is record keeping and it should be accurate. Unless of course we were talking about chickens. Then I might want to keep my two extra hens or roosters. That all falls under the 'wisdom of the ages' in our Miscellany Section of our Constitution.
 
Nancy, NOT gaining 10 pounds is a very good thing! Drifter, you will reach your goal!

Was planning on an extra gym day today but felt motivated to start packing for the US. Need to do my lower body muscle workout this afternoon.
 
Scale is going down. :) But, we've been invited again to our friends' house for dinner since a different set of relatives are visiting. I'll stick to no wine whatsoever as the willpower disappears. The big problem with going to their house for dinner is we always eat between 5-5:30 and they usually serve dinner about 7.30. I am STARVING by then. I'm going to eat a big salad about 6pm so that should help some.

Workout at gym:30 mins spin bike
5 mins rowing machine
10 mins elliptical - HIIT
4 x 12 on 4 resistance machines
3 x 12 rope/pulley for triceps


Workout at home (upper):
11 routines with dumbbells - 3 x 12
 
It is more difficult for you, Ameriscot because you go out more, are entertained more and you entertain, making it difficult to do your thing with food and drink. On the other hand I seldom go out but when I d it is to the Italian side of the family where wine is a custom and pasta is always served. The lady of the house is such a good cook, she is famous all over the University and among the large Italian population here. That's also the only place i drink a beer. I went over my planned calorie count this week, one day having 2000 calories. Yes, I will reach my goal and I hope in minimum time.
 
Thursday we rode our bikes 66 miles so lack of exercise is never an issue!

Rested yesterday but too many calories - about 1500. Today I will stick to 1200 and will do both upper and lower body muscle workouts.

Weigh in: same as last Saturday but 2 lbs more than Weds! So that's 10 lbs more than goal. And I leave a week from Monday. My clothes need to be looser.
 
Weigh-In Day:
Lost this Wk. - .5 Pounds
Total lost -7.5 Pounds
To Go - 8.5 Pounds
Avg Daily Cals - 1396
Somewhat disappointed. I assumed I had lost a pound and a half this past week. But better a loss than a gain.
