deftona Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Reposted from Current Challenge: 2017 Challenge One: Week One Write Up I had a great start to the year. I ate at least 5 a day every day (100%), did the daily Daily Dare (100%) drank plenty of water (100%), journalled every night (100%) all scheduled workouts for the week, even if I did end up shifting them around a little (100%) read at least 10 pages every day (100%) tracked everything I ate in MFP to the best of my ability and ate to a deficit every day but one (this wasn't even a goal). I stuck to all my battle log goals, even not buying a new phone when the one I bought before the new year turned out to be faulty. Normally I would have just blindly bought a new one but when I was shopping for the one I bought last year, nothing inspired me. I just can't get excited about phones and I hate shopping for them. There is nothing really wrong with my current one, it just doesn't have good app compatibility any more and it doesn't fully sync with my new fitbit but this I can live with if it means I pass 2017. I might use a credit for one in the future, but that remains to be seen. I lost 1.2 lbs last week. Looking at my calories in v calories out data I should have lost 1.9 lbs and actually it should really be more than that since the weigh in at the beginning of the year was probably inflated but really, I have been eating far too much. This month is about getting baseline data so I can workout the error margin on the calorie burn from the Fitbit (which seems to be quite large, as I suspected) and without looking at the Fitbit calories burned data I would never expect to lose any weight eating at this range. I need to cut my food intake next week. I 100%ed last week because that's just what 2017 Def does. 4 Quote If it's not siesta or fiesta, I'm not interested.
