JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 16

AshEvelynn · September 2017

9/10 - 228
9/11 - 227 - Using industrial skid scale at work until I find mine

Only when no one is looking of course. Also started my first day of couch to 5k this am - Feeling awesome!
9/12 - 231 - I'm appalled with the scale. I got on twice just to make sure I was not crazy! Huge let down after a great second day of C25K. So frustrated right now.
9/13 - 231 - Whatever.

9/14 - 227 - Feeling relieved to see this - I was seriously nervous this morning. Tomorrow my new running shoes arrive and I'm looking forward to getting out of these numbers for good! Didn't have time for C25K this am so alternated between running 1-3 minutes and walking for 1 for a total of 20 minutes. Not what I wanted but at least I did something! Officially under my starting weight for this round!
9/15 - 227 - Wish the number had moved down but I will take it. Picking up shoes today!
9/16 - No weigh in
9/17 - 224.4 - Found a scale at my moms!
9/18 - 220.4 - Found my scale! HUGE difference between the industrial scale at work and my personal one. 7 pound difference since Friday! Best weekend ever! I would really like the get under the 220 mark for the last day tomorrow...big decisions today will make or break that wish. Keep it together woman! Just give me 24 hours!

Day/Weight/Comment

9/10: 223.4 .......Went to an ice cream social last night at church. Had more ice cream than people; now I have 1 1/2 half gallons of ice cream in my freezer!

9/11: 223.8 ........... Brought my grandson a Lil Caesar's pizza yesterday, but when I got
home, his mother had picked him up, so the 1 slice I had eaten turned into 3! I mean, somebody's got to eat it, right! Oh, did I mention the ice cream? Well, there's only one half gallon left now! The Wellness Ctr. wasn't open this morning because of Irma, so I didn't get my workout! What can I say? That's life; and life goes on! Tomorrow the pizza will be gone, cookies & cream is not my favorite ice cream, the center will be open again, and things will be back to normal! Look out 220, here I come! LET'S MAKE SEPTEMBER A MONTH TO REMEMBER!!!

9/12: 222.4....Hello MFP family! Guess what? Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

9/13: 222.4.....Looking for 221 tomorrow, and 220 before the end of this challenge! ONWARD AND DOWNWARD!

9/14: 222.1......Well, I didn't make 221, but I was close! If I do right today, I'll make it tomorrow for sure. And if not tomorrow, the day after; the point being, I WILL MAKE IT!!!!

9/15: 221.5.........Awwww, looka there now; didn't I tell ya I was gonna make it!!! Oh, yes I Did!

I have two funerals this weekend - one Saturday and one Sunday, and both of them are close kin! That means food, food, and more FOOD!

The five hour drive alone will make me hold fluid! Well, what can I say? I SURE HOPE THEY HAVE SALAD (AND I DON'T MEAN POTATO)!!!

9/16: 221.8.....Weighed at 2:30 this a.m. before we got on the road. Stopped at Cystal's got grits and eggs with a pat of butter. Nothing else until after the funeral at the repast; fried chicken breast, yellow rice, mac and cheese, green beans, and a roll. Only ate half the chicken! Nothing else Saturday! Didn't get all my water. Was sooo tired; rooms we were non existent! Usually stay with my cousin, but she had no lights and was staying with her other daughter. God blessed us to find a very nice room at the Microtel; still praising Him for it! Slept 12 hrs. straight!

9/17: No Scale........ Ate at Checker's about noon. Ordered their smallest burger then took the bottom bun off; also had a small fry! Ate a protein bar. At the repast only ate green beans, a little mac n cheese, and a slice of lemon pound cake. Had a piece of baked chicken, but it was overcooked-couldn't eat it! Small coffee w half n half on the way home. Not much water, but doing good otherwise! THEN...the other shoe dropped

! Stopped by my granddaughter's on the way home; she cooked pot roast w veggies, rice, greens, creamed corn, mac n cheese, coconut pie, and pecan pie! She had us two H-U-G-H plates waiting

! My husband did great

and put his in the fridge, but not me! I ate some of all of it at 1o'clock in the morning, and it was delicious!! Since it was 1a.m., it goes on today's (9/18) log in! I only have 457 calories left

9/18: 224.4......Didn't got to the ctr. today; too tired! Only have a few calories left for today, but the battle is not over by a long shot!

R 14 EW: 147.9
Round 14
SW: 147.6
End of round goal: 146

Goal: Get to maintenance by the first of the year!

8/27 147.6 ~ (Steps 18,495 Miles 7.36) ~ Today's my sons birthday......Yesterday I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus hit the gym in the evening since it was too hot outside. I had to push myself to hit the gym, it did pay off in the scale, yay! Another pound off, I'm trying to lose the 5 pounds I gained from vacation,

8/28 148.8 ~ Yesterday, since I didn't get ANY exercise in plus my sodium was high, I have a gain. I didn't over eat though so my gain is only a pound. Yesterday's, was a success in my books!

8/29 148.3 ~ (Steps18,169) Miles 7 ~ I was hungry the whole day but was able to stick to my dairy, keeping my sodium low. I decided to try getting a workout before getting breakfast. Last night I had to alter my menu since my husband got off late from work. On the plus side a couple workouts during the day helped.

8/30 147.9 ~ (Steps 19,101 Miles 7.7) ~ Yesterday went well with goals, I was able to get a couple workouts at the gym. I switching up though, having my protein drink after my first workout. I need to focus on more fruits for snacks, after vacation, I'm having trouble incorporating them into my diet.

Not at my goal for this round but I'm ready for the next round!
R 15 EW: 147.9

This will be my 2nd round, too

End of R 14 147.9
End of R 15 goal: 143

Day/Weight/Comment:

8/31 146.4 ~ (Steps 28,910 Miles 7.75) ~ Yesterday I was able to get a couple workouts in plus a morning run.... My vacation weight is starting to drop off, only a couple more pounds..... Consistency to no late night snacking is the key

9/01 147.9 ~ (Steps 20,039 Miles 8 miles) ~ I don't understand the gain, I was able to get a nice workout last night plus my sodium wasn't to high. I also ate under my calories allowed so I'm really disappointed with the gain. I did have some watermelon last night but that shouldn't matter.

9/02 148 ~ (Steps 15,232 Miles 6) ~ We went to the Spring fair so my diet wasn't like it usually is, I was able to stay under my calorie goal, making smart choice. I also got a workout after the fair.

9/03 148.5....147.9 ~ (Steps 17,547 Miles 7) ~ Again with the gain, doing everything right, I log everything, stay within my goal, sodium is low, get my water in. I'm going to try dropping my intake to see how that works!

9/04 148 ~ (Steps 15,435 Miles 6) ~ We ended up going to dinner last night but I was able to make healthy choices, in fact taking half home for breakfast today, with such large portions

9/5 147.4 ~ (Steps 17,376 Miles 7) ~ Spent most of the day getting ready to head to my daughter's for the week. Met all my goals for the day.

9/6 I didn't have time at my daughter's in the morning

9/7 148.6 ~ (Steps 12,787 Miles 5) ~ All around good day, just ate late so weight was up!

9/8 148 ~ (Steps 24,548 Miles 9.75) ~ I was able to get some nice walks in with my grandkids and daughter. Our dinner consisted of a grilled spinach salad. Today going back home so tomorrow's weigh in will be with my scale.

9/9 147.9 ~ (Steps 15,416 Miles 6) ~ Yesterday was hard to stay focus but I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus stay under my calorie goal.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/10 147.4 ~ (Steps 18,550 Miles 7.25) ~ Yesterday was a tough day really tired from spending the week watching my grandkids. I was able to get a workout last night at the gym. Also even though we went out to lunch I was able to make healthy choices.

9/11 146.9 ~ (Steps 20,239 Miles 8) ~ Since it was a good day to exercise outs I decided to get a morning, afternoon and evening walks in. No late night snacking is helping with the scale going downs!

9/12 145.9 ~ (Steps 23,221 Miles 9.2) ~ It seems to be helping me walking after dinner, yay!

9/13 146.5 ~ (Steps 21,251 Miles 8.50) ~ All around good day with exercise and diet so I don't understand why scale is up. I didn't get a workout in AFTER dinner, maybe,

9/14 Didn't weigh in

9/15 146.7 ~ (Steps 23,040 Miles 9.25) ~ I'm not surprised my weight is up since Wednesday night the, Late night snacking, was bad, I received my Piyo tapes from Amazon so starting Sunday I'm starting that.

9/16 145.9 ~ (Steps 14,643 Miles 5.75) ~ Yesterday I was able to hit my goals with workouts and a healthy diet.

Round 12: 174
Round 13: 171.4
Round 15: 166.8
Round 16: 164.6

9/10: 164.6 I was holding at 163-something for a few days in the past round, but it's jumped back up. I ran on the treadmill yesterday, and did indulge in some ribs last night for dinner. I also am holding on to some stress. Just daily life stuff, but I have a hard time sleeping when I think too much. I am so happy with the downward trend, though. Typing in those #s above: I've lost almost 10 pounds!
9/11: 166.3 I figured as much, based on my comments above. Had some rich food and a glass of prosecco last night, too. It's Monday, back to my routine.
9/12: 166.3 Was able to get back on track yesterday. Went 100 over in calories, but got in a good run last night. Rethinking some of my food choices, as every night I am too high in carbs. Need some more protein. Today so far, so good, although I am craving fish tacos from the taco truck on our campus, and not the lunch I brought!

9/13: 166.3 It's almost 11pm and I am just now remembering to track my weight from this morning. Busy busy day!
9/14: 164.4 We had a storm here yesterday, so was feeling very cozy. Made a roast chicken dinner for the family last night. Kids thought it was Christmas...

Up to 30 mins of running now on my C210K app!
9/15: 164.4 No exercise yesterday and some sugar in the evening. Which was way too sweet, so my tastebuds have changed. Friend's birthday party tonight and someone signed us up for line dancing.

So that will be my exercise tonight!
9/16: 164.4
9/17: 164.4 Over in calories yesterday but kept pretty busy with laundry (woo hoo) and got my run in.
9/18: 164.4 dang! Although totally fine with holding steady. Avoided a near catastrophe with pizza and wine yesterday afternoon. Was able to reel myself in.

9/13 - 193.0 This morning it flashed 192.8 before stopping stubbornly at 193. But that's ok. I'm being a very good girl. It will drop again, I'm sure of it.
9/14 - 191.8!!! (I got on 5x! It's the real number)
9/15 - 192.2 I figured that yesterday was too much of a drop.
9/16 - 190.8!!! 0.2 to go before I hit 10 lbs!!! Loving these whooshes!!!
9/17 - No Scale

9/17 - 178 - Bee sting is red and swollen. Whaaa!!! House work today, shampoo carpets, laundry, grocery shopping. Catching a cold. Now I know why I have been so tired. Tired again today. Thinking about skipping the next round if I am sick.

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. Keep an eye on that bee sting. Their venom is very potent this time of year. I'd also like to suggest that you carry an antihistamine such as Benadryl in your bag when you go out. I have an allergy to wasps and hornets (though not bees) which developed after getting stung a couple of times in the late summer. I now carry epi-pens as it got progressively worse with each sting. The last had hives all over my body and my arm swollen from fingertip to elbow for two weeks.

Great idea!

Will be interesting to see. When I walked by the scale this morning there was too many people around so I didn't but tomorrow I will go when they are all on break just to see what the actual difference was...and I will also just take it lol.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 256.8 -- Same as yesterday. This is the low from last round. Let’s see if we can make it the high for this round!
9/11 258.2 --Bah humbug!! Blew through sodium and calorie deficit with late night snacking. Don’t snack off diary! Go to bed, Heidi! You’re not really hungry!!
9/12 257.2 -- I must have been self-medicating with food all my life. I started to feel the barometric pressure changes yesterday afternoon as Irma blew through and my immediate response was a big snack attack and then a nap. Very interesting. Stayed within calories by having a very low cal supper.
9/13 259.4 -- Gack!!! Let’s see … take-out Chinese, late night snacking … that’ll do it!
9/14 259.2 -- I’m having difficulty getting back to the new normal. I’m falling back into old habits. I must nip this in the bud. I need to take back control. I will start this morning. I know I can do this.
9/15 258.2 -- Stayed within limits yesterday. My sole goal right now is just to do that for the rest of the challenge. CICO
9/16 257.4 --Another day of CICO doing exactly as it ought. Maybe the first day won’t be the lowest day of this challenge after all!
9/17 257.4 -- Stayed within calorie limits. Off to deliver pet food for rural Meals-on-Wheels clients today. So a nice drive “in the country.” Need to plan a simple supper so we won’t be tempted by take-out when we get home!

9/18 256.8 -- Nice to see that again!! What a roller coaster ride this has been. A lot learned, though.

Goal for this round is to continue to work on increasing my stretching.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10--226.6 This is a normal fluctuation. I know that I did not drink a lot of water yesterday, I find it is difficult on the weekends. However, yesterday I successfully ate at my calorie level, which I find is a challenge on the weekends, and I stretched. Today I'm going out for lunch, so the weight will probably be up tomorrow from the additional sodium.
9/11--227.9 There it is. The additional sodium from lunch yesterday plus a lack of hydration results in the gain. No worries, will just wait for it to go. I did get my stretching in yesterday, so that is a plus.
9/12--227.2 Ugh, forgot to stretch yesterday. Sill working on making it a habit.
9/13--226.4 Stretched yesterday. My NSV yesterday was that I was feeling bored at about 7:30 last night and felt like eating even though I wasn't hungry, so I went for a run instead...I haven't run in over 7 months.
9/14--225.9 Back to where I started. I have really tightened up my food weighing/tracking the last few days and it shows. Stretched yesterday.
9/15--225.3 I didn't think I was going to go down on the scale today because I had trouble sleeping last night and I thought it would affect my weigh in, but I'll take it. Forgot to stretch yesterday--still working on making it a habit.
9/16--225.7 I will take it--ate about 700 calories over my calorie amounts. I think some of it has to do with the fact that I was tired, but it could have been a lot worse. Main goal for today is to keep hydrated. Forgot to stretch.
9/17--225.5 Yesterday was a NSV for me. I preplanned my meals, but of course things happen and after eating a dessert at lunch that I hadn't planned for, I was going to be 400 calories over my daily calorie goal so I had to rework my dinner meal. Well, my husband made dinner, but I exchanged some items for lower calorie foods and took the dog out for a 3rd walk of the day and I was able to come in only 15 calories over my daily goal. It would have been easy for me to just go ahead with what I had originally planned for dinner, but I made the decision and took the time to rework the number of calories for my dinner. It wasn't easy, but I felt so better after making the decision. Stretched yesterday!
9/18--225.3 Back to my low weight for this round. Went to my in-laws for lunch and made healthy choices, made sure I still kept hydrated, and I was still able to have birthday cake. This past weekend was probably the first weekend in a long time where I drank enough water. Forgot to stretch.

Helllllooooo! I'm in again! I think I started joining this challenge in round 2 or 3? Weighing and logging daily has definitely been a huge motivator for me...along with this group as we do this together!!

SW - March 2017 - 182.4
GW - Was originally 150 but now that I expect to get there pretty soon I'm thinking I'd like to make that the top of my maintenance range...so now I'm going to shoot for 145...but get there slowly so by the time I'm there I've got a really good idea of what calorie and activity level I need to maintain to stay in that general vicinity.

9/09 - 150.4 - coming in from round 15...goal for round 16 is to break 150 and have the BMI number on my tracker not be in the "overweight" range for the first time in probably 11 years.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 - 151.6 - normal blip on a weekend after a big drop week....not worried.
9/11 - 151.2 - Happy Monday! I always find the work week routine easier to keep so I'm looking forward to progress in the right direction.
9/12 - 151.8 - Up early for a client this morning so my "elimination schedule" is a bit off...my activity and calories have been on point the last couple of days so I know it will come off. Just doing my typical "bounce around a pound" before it whooshes on the scale.
9/13 - 151.2 - Still bouncing around this pound
9/14 - 151.4 - and another 151 number....
9/15 - 151.0 - SOOO close LOL...I've been below 151 twice!! Just wasn't going to happen again today. Hoping to stay on track this weekend so I can break this barrier...but hubby is bringing lobster home from the east coast today so I expect a feast tonight...
9/16 - 149.0!!!!! - WHOOSH...there it is!!! BMI 24.8!!! Trust the science people!! Even when it looks like you're not progressing your body is doing what it needs to do. Consume fewer calories than you spend and it will come off. On another note....hubby's flight was delayed yesterday so the Lobster feast is tonight...and I'm going to relish in every butter drenched bite!!!
9/17 - 150.4 - Lobster, salted butter and to much wine....but totally worth it!! Will get a good trail run with the dog and kettlebell work out when we get back from hockey this morning.

9/18 151.0 - My parent's took us out for dinner last night so this is sodium and some food waste as I seem to be a bit constipated...Water, water, water today and hopefully this little blip will be gone tomorrow.

KayHBE · September 2017

Started R6 @ 177.1
First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ... At a slow rate
End of R15 - 158.8

Goals Try and maintain while SO is here and start running outside again (it should be getting cooler)

9/10 - 162.6
9/11 - 163.3 Well SO has arrived we spent the whole weekend siting and have dinners and luncheons etc. Which I knew was coming. I didn't eat 15,750 extra calories in 2 days so I'm ok with these numbers. Today is another get together and then he's gone again on Wednesday and hopefully I can get back on full track. Only thing I'm kind of disappointed about is I didn't hit my step goals (too much time in the car) What I have learned is enjoy these days celebrate within reason and then get back to it. As long as I don't throw in the towel and give up I'll be fine.
9/12 - 163.6 Way less moving and lunch out also snacked on a few Jelly Bellies (excessively)
9/13 - 165.1 ...... I've got this, just watch me!!
9/14 - 165.8 ..... Maybe don't watch today. Busy stressful day. Packed my lunch and have preplanned dinner. Have time for my lunchtime walk today and will do some kind of activity after work.
9/15 - 163.8 .... 14,000+ steps, hit calorie goal and packed lunch for work today. It's pizza day at lunch today, I will either have a small veggie slice or skip altogether. Usually I have (1) small slice but I have been eating way above calorie goals so skipping may be the best option. It's funny how "free food" seems to pull you in. Cost you nothing dollar wise but you could pay for it in your hips!! Lets see how I do. The weekend is coming my goals are to either hit 40,000 steps in a day or challange myself to walk the hills in a very steep area of town or find something else challenging (like get on my 5K). Everyone is away for the next 2 weeks so I can't hike

9/16 - 162.6 10,094 steps. I did have a small piece of pizza after I ate my salad and fruit. I didn't crave anymore after, that was nice. Today's goals are to move and hit my calorie goals!! Have a great weekend!!
9/17 - 161.2 Steps 19,312 did the hills and spent some time cleaning and organizing. 40,000, not sure I'll get there today.

9/18 - 160.8 Weather was terrible here yesterday so my steps only got to 17,376 and I didn't sleep very well... Ugggghhh the worst for a Monday. Turning Fall very quickly, hope that doesn't detour my walking. I may have to change up my routines.
