Hello preciouses! Week 13 of the 20 in 20 challenge has been here and gone! Oh dear sigh this is going up late! And it’s lacking a photo! You get some art instead. My goal is 140.
First, my weight:
- High of 150.4
- Saturday’s weight: 147.7
- Weekly average: 149.3
- Total loss so far: 10.7 lbs (based on average)
Way back on track last week. I followed my plan, ran, and consistently was under 150. Go me!
Weekly goals:
- Drinks 5/5 Goal: Wed-Fri, only water, black coffee, tea, and post-workout drink. Got it.
- Exercise 4/7 Goal: 3 BJJ classes, weight lifting 2 days, running 2 days. Whoa – I actually ran two days! I also only went to jiu jitsu 2 days, and didn’t lift.
- Diet 5/5 – Goal: 5 days no pasta/rice/bread/sugar. Congrats, me!
- Diet tracking 4/5 – Goal: Writing down all my food AND tracking calories M-F. Well, I tracked, though I didn’t count calories. I’m counting that as 4.
- Sleep 0/4: Goal: 7 hours 4 days this week. Too much blogging, not enough sleeping.
Successes/challenges:
- Success: Hit my lowest weight EVER.
- Success: Started running again.
- Success: Tracked food.
- Challenge: Sleeeeep. My blog blew up and I’ve been writing content.
- Challenge: Didn’t take a picture.
Next week’s goals:
- Writing down all my food AND tracking calories W-F
- 4 days no pasta/bread/sugar
- Drinks: W-Fri, only water, black coffee, tea, and post-workout drink.
- Exercise: 3 BJJ classes, weight lifting 1 day, running 2 days
- Sleep: 7 hours 3 days this week
I already hit 2 classes on Monday and 1 on Tuesday, and will go on Friday. I broke up with my gym officially.
How was your Halloween weekend? Did you survive? How did your strategies work? How will you deal with post-Halloween candy deals? Share your measurements!

Sad sad – I had a friend over all weekend, and didn’t feel comfortable STRIPPING DOWN, so I didn’t grab a picture. Next week for sure. However, I did capture this great pic:
TAKE THAT, SUGAR!
For comparison:
How will you deal with post-Halloween candy deals?
———–
I came to the conclusion last year (while I was dieting for a November tournament) that I simply had to stay entirely out of the supermarket for about a week and a half post-Halloween.
Excellent plan. It’s not a big deal here, thankfully.
Holy crap girl! You look SO TINY! Awesome!!
Awww! Thanks!
Why do you hate me??!! LOL Okay. SO here goes nothing!! I had a bad couple weeks and am back where I started. I feel disappointed and slightly depressed, and am having a hard time getting revved up again. This is 7 weeks for me, and I’m back to 194!!! I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I have to be honest! In fact I think just sharing it with you has already helped me feel a bit better. I need to let go of the disappointment and move forward. SO 9 weeks left in this year. I need to make the most of it!
As for Halloween candy sales – it doesn’t even tempt me. Candy in a HUGE bag is not something i would even consider buying, or accepting even if it were free! lol I’m pretty good at not bringing junk into my house! However, I sure can eat it when I’m not home!! Need to do better there!
Anyhow. Lets see how I can do this week. I’m starting to track RIGHT NOW!
Thank you for your posts. Believe it or not, it is helping!!! And you look great!!!
I totally hear you – after posting this I jumped up several lbs, but then back down. Remember – it’s making consistent, small, positive changes. You’re building habits. The weight loss WILL come, I promise. I’m not sure I’m going to meet my goal, but this has been a really awesome exercise, and I WANT to meet the goal, so I’ll be looking to step things up. Except that last night I was SO HUNGRY and I ate a fried chicken sandwich. I did totally resist the desserts and the second meal (I wanted to EAT even though I wasn’t hungry), so although I did not follow all my guidelines, I didn’t compound it by making a second poor decision. So for me, it’s about recovery from making a poor decision.
I’m really glad my posts are helping. It’s helping ME knowing that you read every week! ^_^
WOW!!!!!
awww thanks!
Ok, one more pound lost (not the 2-ish I have been losing) for a total of 16.6 pounds. I’ll be lucky if I don’t gain anything this week the way I ate tonight and Saturday–darn you, Halloween! I did manage to stay out of the girls’ candy (from a Saturday Halloween party) on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday though. I better be really good for the rest of the week. And your pic is fabulous.
Omg that’s awesome! And thank you!
Thank you for your posts. Believe it or not, it is helping!!! And you look great!!!
Thank you so much! Do you do jiu jitsu?
