Weight loss & fitness log

Guests gone. Had a few too many biscuits yesterday but otherwise pretty good. Good gym workout so all was not lost.

1200 calories today. Doing my home muscle workouts.
 
Thank you Ameriscot. Still a long way to go.

Barkbarkbark ahWoooooooo! Yesterday I pushed it. My kid was waiting for me up at the dog park. The challenge was to make good time on a steep road. One of the FitBit charts tracks how much effort you put out there. Yellow bars and you were kind of puttering, green bars mean you were really challenging yourself. I had a whole block of green bars plus made my steps for the day.
 
This wee dug (Scottish for small dog) is staying under 1300 cals today. No workout as I've done one the last two days. Gym tomorrow.
 
Been to the gym this morning. Calories will be under 1300. Did my upper body dumbbell routines at home, and am about to do the lower/middle body muscle work.

I can tell I've lost without using the scale.
 
I can tell I've gained without looking at the scale. I knew it this morning after a night of pasta prepared as only an Italian can. Fabulous old world bread; a little coffee, a little wine, cinnamon scones for dessert. I can tell.

Went to the gym again today. Only cardio as I don't do small muscle work two days in a row.

Workout at gym:
30 mins spin bike
10 mins rowing machine
10 mins elliptical - HIIT
5 mins treadmill - uphill

This afternoon I will do my lower body workout in my home 'gym'. Ankle weights, abs, legs, core, etc.

6 1/2 weeks to Thailand.
 
Gym again today. That's 4 times this week! Tomorrow I will do my home muscle workouts - dumbbells, ankle weights, etc.

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

Calories today will be healthy again - under 1300. Once a week I do a higher calorie day. Consistently low brings results I don't want!
 
Weigh-in Day:
Lbs. Lost or Gained -0-
Total Lost 13 lb.
Lbs. To Goal 3 lb.
Avg. Daily Calories 1426
Comment: Although no closer to my goal, I am encouraged by no weight gained this week.
 
Pookie and Fureverywhere, way to go with the workouts and welcome to the log. Ameriscot, looks like you didn't waste any time gettin back into the groove, I really admire your dedication to your health...kudos! Drifter, sounds like you're doing great, holding steady is better than a gain, congrats on staying focused and losing the lbs. :)

I haven't seen the inside of the gym for a long time now, and my bike is all dusty on my porch, haven't touched it. I still take morning walks with hubby some days, but not everyday as I was doing. The new pup has been running me ragged, we can't take him to the park for awhile, until all his shots are complete. But at home he gets me up and out in the yard before dawn, training him with housebreaking. I squat down, bend over and get up and down off the floor so much with him, that my legs feel like I've been working out...which is good.

Oddly enough, I've lost another pound anyway, and I have had ice cream and other stuff, but in moderation. I haven't bought my Halloween candy yet, last year we had to replace a couple of bags because we pigged out, on crappy candy we don't even like that much. Trying to avoid that this go-around.

Hope everyone here has a fun and healthy week ahead! :eek:nthego:

Biking again...long ride this morning.

Said hi to the BowFlex, then ignored it. Scooped litterboxes. Washed the car. Note to self: Pay brat down the street to wash car.
 
Thank you, Sea B. I had guests this long weekend and all meals were taken out and you all know how restaurants are, they pile on the calories. So it's not surprising I'm up a pound and a half from Saturday's weigh-in weight. I hope to be back down to fighting weight by week's end and again pursuing that elusive goal.

I have an idea by the time Ameriscot steps on that scale again she will already be down to where she wants to be. Your next trip is coming up fast...

Welcome to the forum, Pookie.
 
Don't think I did too much damage while in Inverness. Yesterday had under 1300 calories. Same today. Was too tired to go the gym yesterday. I'll do my full upper and lower muscle workouts today.

T minus 5 weeks and two days.

Thanks, Drifter. Doubt I can reach my goal but if I get close I'll be satisfied. I've worked out a serious plan on how not to gain while we are gone. I always have good intentions when we take trips but it almost always fails. However, this is for 3 months and I can't behave like I'm in holiday mode (oink).
 
Good luck, Ameriscot. Weight is hard enough to lose when you're working at it and trying hard. Off schedule in distant places may be a challenge. A plan will help but may test your resolve. Cheers.
