I am loving the ten days! It is almost like a challenge, without the pressure of a challenge. My thought process is this: I have 3 weeks til surgery, 21 days. That is this 6 days (as this is day 4/10), the next 10 days, and then the next 10 will have 5 days of diet/exercise 5 days of recovery. My goals during recovery will be things like drink extra water, take my pills on time, etc. Breaking it up like that helps me NOT want to cheat or binge, because it seems so much closer. More urgency. :-)
1) Stay on plan (Mon/Tues ~ 1,000 calories, low carb. Wed-death ~ 1,500 calories)
2) drink my water
3) Run 15 miles (3x5 miles or 5x3 miles, doesn't matter)
4)Get back into the 180's

Friday ~ Day 5
1) bkf & lunch = 754 +dinner & snack = 1441 :-)
2) 12/8 water
3) ran 2.8 miles @ 4am, 1.7 miles to go! In the afternoon, I ran 2 miles, and GOAL!, plus I walked 1 more at 15% incline.
4) 189.2 (MFP said based on my goal weight & exercise yesterday, I could eat 1620 calories. I ate 1618, and gained weight. Everything else was normal: water, bathroom, exercise, sodium, carbs, etc. The only difference was the extra 125 calories. I've suspected this before, but my suspicions are confirmed!)

Saturday ~ Day 6
1)bkf 374 + lunch +dinner = 1,642 calories... I hope I don't gain. I had pho for dinner, and decided to try the spring rolls. They were pretty low calorie, based on my best guess of the ingrediants, but they really were not worth the calories. I considered NOT eating them, but I had that though, "but you spent $2.25 on them." I should have threw them out. Lesson learned. Scale, please be kind!
2) 9 glasses for the day
3) I'm going to reward myself and have a NSV today! I am going to attempt a belly dancing class at my gym! I have met my millage for the week, but depending on how hard the class is, I am going to walk at 15% incline after for a couple of miles. Then do some ab work
4)188.2
Update on #3) I LOVED BELLYDANCING! And my arms hurt. And the instructor only had to correct me once the entire 45 minute class! Next week I am wearing my coin skirt. I'm gonna shake my @ss!

I fell face first in the water this weekend, made some bad choices and wasn't completely on plan. But i'm back in the boat and pushing for a good week. Want to get lots of fruit and water in this week.

Monday ~ Day 8
My boyfriend suggested that since my weight has been hanging out in the 189-191 range, that I need a few more calories and 2 days off of exercise. I usually don't take his advice, but to humor him, I am trying that today and tomorrow.
1) calories 2,014
2) 8/8 water
3)break day
4) 191.2
