JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 31

mombiejohnston

@Kshanee1 I have done so much research into the Keto diet I see that SO many other people are having great success! I am currently attempting clean eating the best I can, calorie counting, and making moves toward plant based diet. I would love to try Keto but I am married with 3 kids (2 little ones) and I think it would be just super difficult to keep myself in Ketosis with the parameters being so specific to keep your body in that state. Thank you for listening and reaching out! And for sharing your fluctuations. I know it’s a journey...and I’m so happy for the support!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07: 156.0 Alright same starting weight as last round. Goal is to just lose something this week. Ran 3.4 miles yesterday and it felt GREAT! Finally feeling strong and healthy after a few weeks of illness. Fingers crossed healthy stays!

02/08: 155.0 Good drop! Now to keep it or see it go down further. Plan is to get exercise in today and lots of playing in the snow with my daughter!

02/09: 154.4 Weighing in late afternoon when I usually weigh in the morning. Not complaining! Finally some movement down. Hoping to have a solid weekend with physical activity/exercise!

02/10: 154.4 Glad to see this number again and not an increase. I was good last night even though I was having late night snack cravings. Planning on going sledding with the kids today and that hill is a serious workout!

02/11: 154.6 Ate just slightly over yesterday but still a deficit. It's mid day here and I've already cleaned my house and got in 30 minutes of arms/abs. Likely I will be lazy the rest of the day but we will see.

@mamabear10717 LOTS more water after workout and Pizza!! Flush the salt!

@TerriRichardson112 Inch by inch or tenth by tenth. Good job!

@xiaoguai I’m going to guess that it’s water! Doubt you ate 7000 calories over!

I'm back. We will be moving soon, and driving for a week beginning on the 16th, so my goal for the next two rounds is to maintain. Losing a bit would be great, but I won't worry about that, esp. when we're on the road. Thanks again for this group!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07 - 147
A little surprised, but I walked 3.5 miles yesterday and spent an hour packing and moving boxes around, so it's probably "muscle water" since I stayed within my calorie goal.

02/08 - 147
I went out for dinner last night and my sodium for the day was high, so still water. Otherwise I've been on target and have taken advantage of non-rainy days for nice long walks. I'm happy maintaining, but I won't lie - I'd love to hit 146 before we hit the road. We shall see!

02/09 - 146.8
There's that number again! We hit the road a week from today. Will I drop .8 lb by then? Maybe....

02/10 - 147.2
Makes no sense. But ok, whatever.

02/11- 147.2
And here we are again. I'm actually quite happy with my resistance to stress eating, living in a house full of boxes and all the other "stuff" that comes with moving, and I think this little uptick is pretty much meaningless. I've stayed on track with calories and macros, and have even gotten a little exercise. All good!

Round 31 Starting Weight: 151.6
Ultimate Goal Weight: 120


Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 150.6 lbs: Been eating around my calorie limit of 1200. Measuring my food out. No complaints!

02/08 - 150.4 lbs: I was really under my calorie goal, but during the whole day yesterday, I didn't feel hungry.
The hunger hit me when I went to bed.

02/09 - 150.8 lbs. Agreeable. Yesterday's calorie-intake was a bit of an overload due to boredom.

02/10 - ????? lbs. Had a funeral to attend to yesterday, and ate all of my feelings away. Had a big feast last night. Ate so much I didn't care to log in everything in because I was with family and friends for support. No biggie, just cheated the whole day today.

02/11 - 156.8 lbs. GAINED 6 lbs within 2 DAYS. Understandable... My last meal yesterday was ramen, and so all of that salt retained my weight, right? Correct me if I'm wrong guys lol. I promise to do better today. Fruits with coffee isn't bad for breakfast.

It is one day, and it was a funeral. No worries. Because of salt, it might take the better part of a week, just drink a lot of water to flush the excess salt away. There is NO WAY you ate six pounds worth of food. It is the salt.

Goal = work slowly toward new goal weight 127.0 (then we will see, UGW may be 125)

2/7 - 130.6 - under calories and a short walk, short row yesterday.
2/8 -131.0 - not a great day yesterday, nice walk at noon but no real workout and a bit over calories. Emo day about family stuff, and work is crazy right now. Plus side, trying to rehydrate and that may be part of the "gain"
2/9 - 131.4 - great workout yesterday and also phenomenal overeating. Back to sanity today, trying to stay mindful, breathing at work. Trouble adhering to my limit now that I am so close to goal, part of me says "good enough" but this is the pattern - get to goal and then re-gain! Not, not, not this time.
2/10 - 131.6 - over yesterday and no workout. 12 hours sleep tho. Guess why the discipline was slipping so bad? I think I was totally exhausted. Today so far, more stable and less cravings.

2/11 - 131.6 - yesterday under calories, thanks to a killer workout and 16,000 steps lol. Today so far, not good at all. Aagghh! My discipline is non existent.

Ok. So the bloat is gone. Whew! I think bingeing will be something I ALWAYS struggle with, no matter what my weight is. I think when people see a thin person walking down the road, they take it for granted that they have always been thin. The fact of the matter is, it’s a daily effort.

Feeling alright-ish. Went to a family birthday party and I ate small portions. Had fruit as a side instead of something higher cal. Just 30 calories away from going over and I have a tendency to LNS. I may try to hit the hay early.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07 = 212.6. Day one, and so far, so good (-1.4 lbs). I wanted to get mad yesterday when I didn't lose any weight in last challenge, but I need to realize that good work I do one day may not always show up the exact next day. My body fluctuates on a daily basis, and sometimes I do not get a particular number exactly when I want it. Today is a "whoosh" because I have generally been doing pretty well. Whatever does not show up on this weigh-in will show up on the next. Or the next.

02/08 = 212.4. Figured out as (wanted to say “after,” but it was “as”) I bought my lunch yesterday that it was BAD; too many calories, too much salt. I threw half of it away, ate mindfully the rest of the day/night, and ended up still staying under calories for the day. This was a big victory for me, one that I would not have had a few weeks ago. I have the gym and basketball tonight, so I’m hoping to keep the positive vibes rolling!

02/09 = 211.4. This is feeling easy again. Under calories last night not including exercise. Took a walk during the day, went to the gym to lift weights, and played basketball for an hour. I know this is hard (I remember last week!), but it doesn’t feel that way right this second. This is my version of being in the zone. I know it won’t last forever, but I’m enjoying it. I wish this feeling on all of you!

02/10 = 212.6. Ate out twice yesterday. It’s funny. I woke up feeling great yesterday, but my energy level dropped like crazy as the day went by, and I was pretty much spent by lunch. I'm pretty sure I'm fighting off a cold (at least), and that I'm in a vulnerable state as a result (eating-wise). I’m realizing that this is also a pattern, and one of those things that can really throw me off of any good habits I might have. I ended up having both lunch and dinner out. I didn’t eat “crazy,” but I definitely could have made better choices. I was slightly over my calorie goal for the day (estimated), and definitely way over in Na+. I’m feeling a little better this morning, so I’m going to go to the gym, then play basketball, and see if I can have a really good weekend of eating mindfully, staying in control, and NOT being sick. Today will be the first time my wife has seen me play basketball in the 14 years we have been together (6+ of them married).

02/11 = 212.0. Ate out twice again yesterday! I kept things under control for the most part, and it was a great basketball day. It’s SO HARD to estimate calories when I eat out certain places.

Another 10 days!! I started doing this challenge in Round 2...so this is my round 30...that will make 300 days of daily weighing and checking in by the end of this round (except for two trips I took where I didn't have access to a scale). For all the newbies...the fluctuations take some getting used to, but weighing daily starts to make you really aware about what affects your scale weight besides true gains/losses. Weighing weekly or less sometimes means you will miss your highs and lows and you also miss out on important trends.

New GW - 140

I was maintaining around 143 for a couple of months before Christmas and then things started creeping back up to 145. I'd like to get down to averaging 140.

02/07 - 145.6 - finishing up TOM and haven't been great about keeping away from the carbs lately. I could totally just blame it on TOM but really I need to grab my water bottle and a piece of gum instead of shoving chocolate and bread in my pie hole....
02/08 - 146.6 - ARgh...no one to blame but me again. Did some baking to freeze for the kids lunches and did far too much sampling. Went to bed with crazy heartburn, haven't experienced that in ages so I learned my lesson.
02/09 - 144.2 - Yep...a low carb day can work wonders.
02/10 - 144.4 - So busy this weekend..just getting online now to post this morning's weight. Up early for hockey and didn't sleep well so that may explain the slight blip up, Kcals and activity were perfect yesterday.
02/11 - 143.4 - Up super early again for an away tournament...feeling very dehydrated, I'm keeping my water going in but this weather is sucking all of the moisture from my body!!
