Eaten: 1231/1500
Deficit: 1410/1000
Workout: Hiit 15 and Tone 30

The weight is actually today's weight. I think it's easier to write today's weight and let it be a reminder of how yesterday's actions affect me. The numbers are actual/target. =)

Monday, Monday

Monday was pretty busy and I didn't have a lot of time to eat or overeat.  I am trying to stay busy so that I don't get those hungries from being bored.

Burned: 2830/2750
Eaten: 1443/1600
Deficit: 1387/1150
Workout: Hiit 20 and Stretch 10
Weight: 195.7

Weight went down a little today, maybe the water stuff is getting figured out in my body.  I still need to drink about 3 more bottles of water today, I'm really behind because of being so busy this morning taking the kids to the dentist and studying for the meeting.  But I'm gonna go drink 2 right now. :)

Sunday's stats

I took a break from recording...not on purpose just kept forgetting.  I really haven't been keeping strict watch on what I eat, so from now on I've got to get back to being careful, making sure I'm still within my calorie parameters.

Here are my stats from yesterday:
Burned:  3103/2750
Eaten: 1281/1600
Deficit: 1822/1150
Workout: Turbo Fire 45 and Stretch 10
Weight: 197.5

I'm up on my weight, I think because I was dehydrated and yesterday I started drinking a lot again.  My water is always a mess.  But I'm working on it.  I've gotta get back to drinking my tea too.  That was helping with my dehydration.

The last few days

I'm still dealing with the back injury/pain from Thursday.  The last few days have been pretty crappy.  Yesterday I felt better but I was still hurting trying to do things around the house and even sitting at the meeting was painful.  Coupled with that I've been feeling sick to my stomach, in that everything I eat feels like it just sits in my stomach.  I think I'm dehydrated. I have a bladder infection this morning.  So today the goal is drink lots of water and go easy on my back.  I've given myself a break from working out until my back is better, I don't want to go an injure it again.  I'm really down again about all this, but I'm trying to work through it.  I've been okay on my calories, last night was the only night I went over.  The thing that stinks is the exercise part.  I'm not burning near the calories I do when I workout or am really active and that's making me crazy.  But one day at a time.  I have gained some weight because of the water retention thing. The numbers don't make sense because there has been a deficit everyday, but I know how my body is and if I don't drink enough over the course of a few days, I just hold on to water as if I was carrying gallon jugs around. 

No stats...I think I will post stats again once I'm back to my workout routine.  This is only a setback, not the end of the world and by no means am I quitting.  I WILL get to my goal weight this year, and I'm super excited to do it!

Thursday

I started out feling okay yesterday except for a little pain in my hip area. I think when I lifted Bailey's winter bed up to put it away I must have pulled something in my lower back because I've had pain in it ever since.  I didn't feel anything at the time, but I did about an hour later.  That's the only thing I can think of that I might have done.
Okay. I guess I gotta explain what Bailey's winter bed is.  During the winter, her bedroom is way too cold.  She has a space heater but it's on the same circuit as the central house heater, so when someone turns on the central heat, it blows the circuit if her heater is running.  So instead of trying to figure it out, we put a twin mattress on the floor in our bedroom and then run the space heater in our bedroom on a timer.  Don doesn't put the heater on at night, but usually turns in on at some point in the morning when he wakes up if he's cold.  So we have our heater set to be on for 4 hours at night and then we can all be warm.  Bryson also sleeps in our bed so that he can be warm.  Sydney has her own space heater which is on a seperate circuit so she can run it when she goes to bed.

Back to the weight loss stuff:
Burned: 2660/2750
Eaten: 1620/1600
Deficit: 1040/1150
Workout: None due to injury
Weight: 197.0

So I guess the 2 days I went over my calorie deficit is helping me this week.  I did gain some weight, but I know the risks in weighing in on a daily basis.  Weight fluctuates because of different factors.  Yesterday I drank very little until just before bed when I tried to make up for it and downed 25oz of water.  Despite my back pain, I was able to take the kids to the park and the library and also do my weekly grocery shopping at Walmart with all 3 of them and finish my whole to-do list which included cleaning my bathroom and doing laundy.  Not an easy task especially in pain, but life doesn't stop because I'm hurting.

Burned: 2883/2750
Eaten: 1669/1600
Deficit: 1214
Workout: Turbo Fire 30 and Stretch 10

I had an insane amount of pain in my sciatic nerve and left leg last night.  Maybe today I'll take ibuprofen before my workout to see if I can avoid that again.  PAIN!!

Tuesday's stuff...

Burned: 2706/2750
Eaten: 1481/1600
Deficit: 1225/1150
Workout: Rest Day
Weight: 197.1

Last night was tough, I was hungry and I couldn't sleep.  I'm not sure why though because I did eat dinner and even had a snack after meeting.  But I'm happy because I resisted temptation and was able to finally get to sleep without getting up and getting something to eat.  Small victories! :)

Monday

Yesterday I had a sinus headache pretty much all day and I just couldn't get warm. I was also very sleepy and kept dozing off on the couch at only 8:30pm!

I'm going to start adding actual number/target numbers.  This gives me a better idea of what I did in comparison with what I was aiming for.


Eaten: 1469/1600
Burned: 2573/2750
Deficit: 1104/1150 Didn't quite hit my target, but I did yesterday plus some...so it all evens out.
Weight: 199.5 -- this is today's weight...basically showing results from yesterday (sort-of...I know it's based on other factors, but daily weigh-ins keep me on track better than weekly.)
Workout: Turbo Fire Hiit 15 and Stretch 10

Sunday's stats

Sunday's stats are as follows:
Burned: 2594
Eaten: 1418
Deficit: 1176
Workout: Turbo Fire 30 and Stretch 10
Weight: 201.4


I didn't get my target burn but I also didn't eat my full 1600 calories so it evened out. The workout was a little tough because of some pain but I did it and felt better once I did. 


That's it for today!
