I'm curious to follow your vacation while on OPT routine. Now that I've been cleared to at least start limited running, elliptical, biking and walking (not to mention strength training) by Doc, I think I'm going to start OPT on Monday versus going back to RTP to finish it's last 6 weeks. My only concern is I will have a vacation at week 7 (RTP would end just before). I'm wavering back and forth.
I hope she'll be done with the deficit by that time

Some DDR questions.....I just realized you are doing this with Wii. I didn't realize it was available for Wii. Do you have a dance pad? If so, which one? Which game? I tried to do some research myself, and looks like more than one game available, and I can't find a lot on the dance pads. Any details would be greatly appreciated. Sounds like fun.
Can't wait to see how you lilke the DB Get Ups
Have a good trip, be gentle with your family and with yourself.
Thanks! Safely ensconced in Tyler now, and we have the router set up (my aunt doesn't have any wireless computers and so unplugs it when we're gone--it's actually an old router of mine I didn't need anymore).

My only concern is I will have a vacation at week 7 (RTP would end just before). I'm wavering back and forth.
I'm doing OPT somewhat strangely this week. I'm on vacation for a total of a week and a half. This would be week 4, my rest week, but then I realized I'd likely have problems fitting in a 40% deficit with family cooking. So I'm going to still take walks and do some resistance work with a resistance band, and also DDR (which I brought with me), but it's not an official "OPT" week.
Dietwise, I'm thinking I'll try to stick with a moderate deficit (250-500 cals), but I'm not going to sweat it too much. My goal is just not to eat over maintenance and gain back any fat. If I stay at the same weight/measurements I'll be happy, and if I drop any further I'll be absolutely thrilled.
Next week I'm calling my rest week. I'm traveling on Monday and Tuesday, so the 40% deficit again may be difficult to maintain, but I'm back home again on Wednesday and plan to drop right back into full compliance.
So basically, I'm treating this vacation not as OPT but as training for dealing with real life. I've always said that I don't want to weigh my food forever or use my GoWear Fit forever. So this week I'm keeping the GWF but really just trying out eyeballing portions (still tracking in Fit Day). I'll see how I'll do.

Me too! Honestly I'm not sure where I'll wind up at the end of OPT, but I may need another partial session after it. But I think I should definitely be done by Christmas. So it might be Correcting Posture and Muscular Imbalances Theatre.

Right now, I think the only Wii DDR games available are Hottest Party 2 (the original Hottest Party appears to be discontinued) and Disney Grooves. I have Disney Grooves; picked it primarly because it came with 2 dance mats. You have to have the dance mat in order to play DDR. I don't think either title is currently available as the game alone (unless you get it off of eBay or another auction site), so even with HP2 you get a mat.
Since the mats I have came with the game, they're made by Konami. Reviews on amazon of Hottest Party 2 mentioned that 3rd party mats don't tend to work.
Reviews of Disney Grooves on amazon also seemed to indicate that it's more suitable for new DDRers (of which I am one). It's a "kinder, gentler DDR" where the audience doesn't boo at you if you dance horribly, and my brother tells me his DDR title for the PS2 (I think) is harder at the "difficult" level. I'm fine starting out with the easy version since I'm not the most coordinated person, and I have to say I don't much like being booed at, even if it's by a computerized audience. So it works for me.
You probably do have to at least tolerate Disney to enjoy Disney Grooves (typical DDR titles are a lot of Asian pop/techno, I think), but you can't be too fanatic b/c the songs are remixes.
Aside from that, the gimmicks/hand gestures are irritiating as I can get perfects with the footwork but the sensor bar doesn't seem to register my wrist flicks as well. They can be turned off, but for some of the challenges to unlock all the songs, you don't have that option. But I was able to unlock everything, so I guess it's not too difficult.
Hope that helps a little! I seem to be in babbling mode.

Okay, well don't fade away on us, keep us posted and we're here if you lose your way in some ice cream or sumpin'
I've been planning to. See below.
______________________________ _____________ Stats for Friday, June 26 Cals burned: 2413
Cals consumed: 1598 (143.2p/106.9c/71.4f; 35%p/26%c/39%f)
Deficit: 815
Activity
40 min Pilates Sculpt DVD (think my coworker and I just complained about how unmotivated we were this time--no interesting discussions re: V.C. Andrews or otherwise)
OPT A2 (details not listed previously, and I didn't bring my log with me to Tyler. I was short on time and so just did 2 sets. Increased weight on 1 exercise, I think, but I can't remember which. Side plank times were abysmal; didn't hit 60 sec on either one. However, the Pilates Sculpt DVD does have us doing some side plank work, so I'm blaming it on that. )
______________________________ ________________ Stats for Saturday, June 27 Cals burned: 1831
Cals consumed: 1936 (117.4p/144.4c/97.1f; 26%p/30%c/45%f)
Surplus: 105
Food consumed of little nutritional benefit: Pomegranate sherbet from Braums, 1 cup. Tasted good, though, and an unusual flavor I'd never had before. Don't feel too guilty about it, even though not eating it would've put me at about a 170 cal deficit.
Activity
Sitting on my butt in the car for 10 hours. My GWF graph for this day is pretty freaking depressing and/or hilarious depending on what mood I'm in.
______________________________ ___________ Stats for Sunday, June 28 Cals burned: 2013

Deficit: 340
Foods consumed of little nutritional benefit: 1/2 c lemon sherbet, Braums brand (also tasted good); 3 cubic inches of brownies made by my aunt Faye. Hers are the baked goods I have to watch out for, as she likes to make goodies and then leave them at the house of the aunt we're actually staying with.
Activity
50 min DDR while my family made snide remarks but refused to dance themselves.
______________________________ _________
So yeah, I forgot all my protein powder at home. I'd planned to bring some because I thought I would have issues keeping protein up, but I didn't think it'd be this bad, since my family members are all carnivores.
Guess I'm not incredibly surprised at the fat amounts since my fam never once glommed on to the "fat is bad" trend. My Texas relatives tend to use a lot of olive oil, real butter, and nuts, so at least it's healthy fat. I brought cod liver oil supplements with me, but looking at my macros so far, I think I may skip them unless I start to have some sort of health issue.
Other bad thing is that after two days in the car, I'm mildly dehydrated. I went from consuming 1 gal and 16-24 oz of water to less than half that. Now that I have easy access to a bathroom again, I'm hoping to get to at least 96oz/day, though the full gal would be preferable.

Thanks for the DDR info. The Disney version sounds just up my alley. May have to request it for Christmas or some other special occasion ....doubt I can talk son into asking for it for his b-day which is sooner, as he already has an ever growing list.
I think you're doing very well for being on vacation, despite the macros issue. Calories good, and getting in your workouts. Did you bring your powerblocks along for the ride? I'm also very envious of those. That may be higher on the wish list than DDR.
Did you bring your powerblocks along for the ride? I'm also very envious of those. That may be higher on the wish list than DDR.
Oh, Scribess, do you have powerblocks? What size? I'm dying to get a set on craig's list. But I want the 5-50 lb or 5-45 lb ones, not the 5-25 lb set. Because I think I was doing pullover of 30 pounds or 35 lbs, and was doing deadlifts of 2/35 or 40 lbs, so it doesn't seem it makes sense to me to buy 2-25 lb ones.
Question: do you have the stand for them? it's expensive. I heard it's better to have the stand. But I also saw a tray PowerBlock Sport Tray for $39 on amazon.com and thought maybe I could just buy that and put it on a side table. What do you think about the stand or picking them up from the floor?

No, PowerBlocks stayed home--I knew I was going to get a lecture from my parents about decreased gas mileage if I brought them. So I brought a heavy resistance cord and am using that for my (very very basic/easy resistance workouts. But considering how horribly low my protein is thus far, it's probably a good thing I'm not tearing down my muscles too much, since there's little material to repair/build them up with.

I have the Classic Personal Trainer 2.5-50 set. I knew the 5-25 set would be too small. Admittedly in terms of DB deadlifts, I can see myself outgrowing the 2.5-50 set relatively soon--but I didn't have the cash to go higher at the time and wasn't thinking in terms of what I'd need for deadlifts. Guess I can shift to lifting the couch like Leigh mentioned on a Fitcast, I think it was, if need be. The Sport 9.0 set is also 2.5-50 lbs, looks like, but has the opportunity for future expansion. The Classic Personal Trainer does not, but it's generally cheaper than the Sport 9.0 if you shop around.
I just have the Sport Tray, which I set on the floor. No room for the full stand in my 1 bdrm apartment. It's worked fine, though my space is somewhat cramped so I have to shove the PBs back and forth on the tray in order to properly align the pin to select the weight. I've been fine with the tray on the floor, but if you have ideas of getting a set that can expand beyond 50 lbs (the 2.5-50), the PowerBlocks wouldn't fit on the tray anymore.
I'd recommend at least the tray. If you have carpet, it can be difficult to align the pins on the "spongy" surface, and if you have hardwood floor, you'd at least want a mat to protect the surface from the PBs.
I'd also recommend getting a set where you can increase in 2.5 lb increments. There are definitely exercises (such as Swiss Ball flys) where I know I couldn't increase 5 lbs at a time.

I realized I've been forgetting to put in my sleep time. Night before last: 7:04. Last night: 5:30.
Stats for Monday, June 29 Cals burned: 2162
Cals consumed: 2069 (85p/201.6c/100.7f; 17%/39%/44%)
Deficit: 93
Foods consumed of little nutritional benefit: 1/2 c all-natural vanilla ice cream; 5 cubic inches homemade peach cobbler (mmm)
Foods of nutritional benefit but of which I overate: Nuts (probably around 2.5 oz, but potentially more. )
Thing is, none of my family (well, except my brother, but he's another story entirely) eats like this individually. But upon commencement of vacation or gathering together, we feel compelled to bake goodies and feed them to each other. The men in my family just eat, but we women go on to talk about how we like to avoid sugar and how overconsumption of sugar and refined flour products are probably to blame for much of America's health problems*.
However, I am at least reining myself in more than I usually do on vacation. Aside from the designated "dessert time" our first day here, I haven't eaten any of the brownies my aunt left in her canister. I'm also much more mindful of my portion size when I do have dessert. But looking at my cals burned according to my GWF and how much I'm eating--which is just eyeballing it so it's quite possible that I'm off** and it's no wonder that I always gained a couple of pounds while visiting family or having them visit us.
Activity
20 min "front body" resistance work based off of DVD that came with my resistance cord (I'm telling myself it's better than nothing. And I'm sure it is. But I should probably at least hold my plank pose longer than the 3 sets/30 secs the DVD calls for since I know I can).
50 min then 20 min DDR
*BUT even with our baked goodies we do try to avoid said refined flour products. We are huge fans of spelt and use it quite a bit; we don't do much with white flour. We also soak our flours in yogurt/kefir/whey before baking with it to help neutralize the phytates. Basically I'm trying to convince myself that I'm better off eating the stuff we make than heading over to Krispy Kreme and eating the caloric equivalent in doughnuts. Which I probably am. But of course caloric excess is still caloric excess, so I'm keeping that in mind.
**Two footnotes, woo hoo! Though admittedly when I first started weighing my food, I found out I was underestimating portions--part of my whole undereating history. So I'm not sure if I still lean toward that or not.

Well, I'm definitely seeing how necessary it is to weigh food when in a deficit. I think that action alone emphasizes in my brain what I've eaten for the day. Forgetting even the "little things" adds up.

So back to the DDR conversation--we have Dance Dance Veggie Tales--it's the favorite of our family as well as visiting teenagers! LOL. Not for wii though.
Family visits always bring weird food quirks, or at least it seems that way with me. And I know what you mean on how every little bite counts. I often and conveniently overlook the extra crackers I snacked on, or the pieces of chocolate I ate in between meals.
I'd also recommend getting a set where you can increase in 2.5 lb increments. There are definitely exercises (such as Swiss Ball flys) where I know I couldn't increase 5 lbs at a time.
I bought a set that went from 5-50lbs, in mainly 2.5 lb increments. It looks like the Sport 9 set, except for the 2.5 increments. I know at the time that it was expandable, which I figured I'd never need. I did eventually work up to 50lb presses doing low rep sets, but decided that for now it was enough.

Thanks, I hadn't thought about the 2.5 lb increments. The cheaper one on Amazon $340 free shipping was 5-50 I think, but 5 lb increments. The 2.5 lb increment one was $418. But I imagine the 2.5 is more useful... I hadnt' even thought of that.

Oh, my roommates from college would so love that! What system is it for? One only has the Wii, I believe, but another has some sort of PlayStation, I think.

Yup, and those are the things that kill the deficit without you even knowing. I'm realizing how lucky I was in reading Fat Loss Troubleshoot before I started my deficit.

Anyway, hope you have lots of fun on your trip!
Yeah, the PowerBlocks systems are weird. They all look pretty much identical, but some sets that are 5-50 are expandable, while others are not. Like I said, I think the only reason I'd have to expand in the foreseeable future would be for DLs, but again I have my couch!
Thanks for the vacation well-wishes!

Did you ever find them on sale? Where?
I got them from a site called Unique Fitness Concepts. I'm always hesitant to buy from sites like that since I have no idea what their track record is or if they're fly-by-night, but it seems like they offered some sort of money-back guarantee, so I took a chance. No complaints about the service or shipping, so it worked out okay.
My process for things like this is to search prices using Google shopping, then check out the store ratings at resellerratings.com or eopinions or a similar site. Good luck!

The frownies weren't for the surplus so much as the fact that I forgot to include the cornbread in the first place, kwim? It does make me a little nervous that there was something else that I forgot on that day or another day that means my small deficits are even smaller and/or nonexistant. Slippery slope type of thing.

Ahh, I wonder if the only thing I need them for are the Deadlifts... I have really up to 25# dumbbells. The 25#ers I don't like (got them from freecycle and they have that pin that holds the plates on the bar, and when I do DB pullover I get nervous, but they're really fine)....
I'm really happy to know about the 2.5 lb increments though. I think I'll continue my craig's list search.
Sleep: 6:40 Measurements: Waist up .5 inches. Not too worried right now since Tyler is loads more humid than Colorado. Haven't bothered with any other measurements as I'm lazy.
Stats for Tuesday, June 30 Cals burned: 2260
Cals consumed: 1678 (87.7p/123.3c/94.5f; 21%/29%/50%)
Deficit: 582 (largest since starting vacation, I think)
Foods consumed of little nutritional benefit: coffee cake. Resisted the leftover peach cobbler, ice cream, and brownies, however.
Activity
40 min walk/jog, emphasis on walk
70 min DDR
I'm also starting to get some facial skin issues and swelling of my eyelid. These eczema issues are worse than what I had before (well, emotionally, anyway) since they're more visible.
Had this problem previously, which I always blamed on consumption of excess sugar. I'm starting to think, though, that it's really a nutritional balance, i.e., that as long as I got all my necessary nutrients in and kept my calories at maintenance, I could have sugary stuff every day with no skin problems. But since I've been on vacation I haven't been taking my green foods (yes, I do the powdered stuff) and I'm thinking that may be related. Fruit consumption is also down from what I normally do. And I'm thinking my electrolytes are off. I was planning on heading to a local health food store today since they sell PB2, which isn't readily available in Colorado, and I wanted to try it out. I may also browse a bit and see if I can pick up anything that might help. I don't want to get more greens since they need to be refrigerated and usually come in 30-day supplies.

If your current weights make you nervous, you may also really want to inspect the PowerBlocks before purchase. They also use a magnetized selector pin to hold the weights in place. There are warnings all over the things about how you need to make sure the pin is properly engaged/aligned before use or else risk injury. And honestly I've had one occasion where I didn't double check and could've seriously hurt myself--I was halfway through a rep of whatever exercise before I realized I hadn't pushed the pin in far enough. It's quite possible a plate could've fallen on me.

Yeah, I'm curious as to how that works, too. But a Veggie Tales Dance game? That's cool. I'll have to be on the lookout for it in Target or GameStop now.
...And then forgot to try it rather than eating Brazil nuts. Though I wish Bell Plantation would make a sugar-free version. I honestly prefer the taste of sugar-free natural PB (though I do like it with a bit of salt) to the sweetened kind, so I kinda think I'll feel the same with PB2. We'll see.

Bess, you're doing terrific on the tiny indulgences, really keeping them minor and few, while with family... bravo!!!
Leigh has an awesome pb2 protein brownie thingie recipe that I haven't tried.. I'd love to hear how you use pb2 and what you like. I put it in protein shakes a few times and haven't used it since. Though I'll bet it would be great for a Thai peanut sauce over vegies, which I never eat due to the calories of the sauce...
Items Needed:
Mixing Bowl-Medium
Whisk
Souffle Dish (Can use smaller bowls and coffee mugs but may need to adjust the times depending on how shallow/deep the container.)
Ingredients:
30 Grams of protein Powder
20 Grams of PB2
10 Grams of Regular Peanut Butter
10 Grams of Cocoa Powder
2 Grams of Splenda or 1 Packet of Stevia
3 to ounces of Skim milk
1. Put all dry items in mixing bowl and mix together.
2. Add the Peanut Butter and Skim Milk.
3. Whisk together all items until completely mixed. No lumps of powder or peanut butter. If need you can add small drops of extra milk for some thicker peanut butters.
4. Pour Mixture in Souffle Dish.
5. Place dish in Microwave and heat for 30 secs. Take out the dish and move (small amount) of cooked outside towards the middle allowing the mass of liquid to hit the outside again.
6. Heat for 15-20 secs more, repeat same step of moving outer cooked layer inside. If it was really liquidy the first time still then do 20 secs. If it had some firm spots stick to 15.
7. Heat for 15-20 more secs (time again depending on how liquid.
8. Allow it to sit for 1 min. Then take a butter knife and run around the edges of the dish, turn the dish over onto a plate and like that, you have a beautiful, soft, melting in mouth, protein souffle.
Stats:
Calories: 322
Protein: 39 g
Fat: 10g
Carbs: 24 g
*Note this is assuming the highest possible with splenda, peanut butter, and protein powders. Can be less than this in calories and carbs*
Please let me (Leigh) know how it turns out or if you need any tips or advice.
Thanks for the recipe, Etana! Now it'll be super-easy to find it. I'd seen it on Leigh's site a while back but of course had no PB2 at the time (scarily unavailable in my neck of CO, and I was hesitant to order a full case directly until I found out if I like it or not).
Though honestly that recipe may have to wait awhile--not sure I'd do it here in TX and 322 cals is still a lot while in deficit mode. Though I guess I could do half one day and half another if I really want a desserty thing, and of course it is high-protein... Hmm. Maybe I could fit it in during one of the lower-deficit weeks.
Thanks again!

you're welcome...
I'm really dying to eat all the fruit in season and my teeny tiny calories doesn't have much room at all. Bought 3lbs of cherries at Trader Joe's for $6 but I still have fresh apricots and yummy sweet nectarines in the fridge... those 275 cal from 1100 to 1375 sure make a difference...
Let me know how it works when you make it.... 39 g of protein, it could be a meal + a snack

Like I said, I think the only reason I'd have to expand in the foreseeable future would be for DLs, but again I have my couch!
