Day 18 - This was easy

 I went over yesterday.


Today, I went under, way under.  Much more than 250 calories, so maybe I needed that boost?  Doesn't make sense, but wow, I'll take that bonus.


I had steel cut oats this morning since I ran out of oatmeal and fruit while on travel.  I had a Subway Black Forest Ham footlong that split between lunch and dinner.  That is it, wow!


So I'm prepared to be hungrier tomorrow morning.  I actually went up half a pound today, but no worries, it will go down.

Day 21 - I'm 194 for two days in a row!

Image
 I was invited into the Noom group yesterday.  I gave some help and good feelings to some others.  I'm also still doing well with this plan. You might have noticed that I skipped a day, and that will happen.  I'm not paid to write daily since there is no money in blogging.  So if it's a boring day and I don't feel like making something up, I just won't write. Remember this? Calgon, Take me AWAY! Except for me, it's not Calgon but instead Little Debbie.

Day 17 - I went over-calorie!

Image
 It was a cooking accident.  I had a partial jar of ALDI red pesto mix and after consuming 67g the other day, I decided to finish the container.  The problem was that it wasn't 1/2 used but was actually closer to only 1/3 used.  After eating, I totaled the calories and found out I was 250 calories over!  Admittedly, from a nutritional standpoint, it was a pretty powerful move because I felt an exciting kind of energy for the entire day.  I made up for it by performing a 600 calorie workout.  I listened to my lessons while walking and ironically, the lesson "Let it go" when you go over calories played.  Coincidence or AI? This tiny jar actually holds 190g!   So, I discovered that steps counted in Pacer do not necessarily import into Noom.  I'm not sure why, but the main thing is that I'm recording the activity somewhere and remembering to carry my phone more (I've gone entire days with <500 steps because the phone stays on a desk)....

Day 26 - Feels like plateau, but spreadsheet says otherwise

I'm at 192.5 again.  It's the third time I've seen that number in the past 7 days.  Is this a plateau or not.  Feels like I'm stuck here. Guess what?  I'm not! This is probably a thought distortion and my spreadsheet shows me that I'm still trending downwards.  I was actually at a gentle plateau a couple weeks ago, but somehow I didn't notice it. I keep a rolling average of the past 7 days weight and compare it with the present.  I also subtract yesterday's 7 day average from today's average and it's best to keep that number between -0.50 and -0.01.  Too far negative and I'm losing too quickly.  If it is zero or positive, I'm not working at it well enough. Data never lies.  It says I'm doing well.
