Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 39

cschmitz110515

Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me.
MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14

My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

Getting back on track.

5/1 200.02lbs 9947 steps.
Eating right and staying hydrated. Let's do this.

5/2 201 lbs 12948 steps so far. 86 minutes of exercise (as measured by my heart rate tracker)

5/3 200.2 lbs. 9221 steps. Eating a healthy variety in moderate amounts. Binged on thrift shopping instead. My wallet needs it's own diet.

5/5 199.8 lbs. Probably about six miles worth of steps, my tracker was charging at home because someone (husband) had unplugged the power strip. Breakfast and lunch were fine, but we went out for dinner and I had fried pickles and a small ice cream cone. But thank goodness Berkshire Hathaway weekend is over.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/28 -- 191.4 My long opening whoosh is finally over.
4/29 -- 190.8 Closing in on that first mini-goal.
4/30 -- 189.0 Whoosh!!
5/01 -- 189.2 Not too bad for a bounce back. Feeling quite bloated today, though it isn't showing on my scales.
5/02 -- 190.8 Annnnd there it is!
5/03 -- 191.8 I'm remind myself to trust the process, and not to throw myself into a snack-binge in retaliation to these numbers.
5/04 -- 192.8 I wonder if I'm logging properly. Most of the food I eat is home made, and it can be difficult to guestimate what numbers to check against it (shepherd's pie, chowder, chicken stew etc.). I'm starting to suspect that I've been underestimating my numbers.
5/05 -- 192.2 Two days left to get back to where I started this round. Then I write it off and never speak of it again. -- 191.8 Okay, this is where I finished last round. If I can make at least a little progress tomorrow I'll finish the round going the right direction at least.

Yesterday I drank some beers so there might be something with water I don't know. Tomorrow weight will be more precise.
4/29 83.5 kg
Yesterday was good except chocolate soufflé. Still, I was under my calorie and I walked 7880 steps which is good for a Saturday.
4/30 82.9 kg
Yesterday was good. I walked 7870 steps and eat all my calories and extra calories from walking too. However nearly 1 kg difference in two days really weird it must be about water I should log my water too and drink more. And also I'll probably have my period tomorrow so maybe it's about that, not sure...
5/01 82.7 kg
Wow still going down. Yesterday was ok. I passed my calorie limit a little and ate two cookies. I walked 6900 steps, which is not enough.
5/02 82.6 kg
Yesterday was not bad actually but, I ate the dinner very late and it was a falafel wrap so it's not the best choice. Still, I was below my calorie limit. I walked 8400 steps which is not enough. This week my steps are really bad actually. Last week I walked much more than this.
5/03 82.3 kg
Yesterday... I don't know. At afternoon, I couldn't eat enough because of feeling sick. But at night, I was with my friends and went a bar, so... I drank 2 small (33 cl) beer however, I was below my calorie limit.
5/04 81.9 kg
Yesterday I was sick, tired, sleepless and busy. I couldn't choose what I eat and ate some pizza, I didn't log my food but sure that I ate much more than calorie limit. I didn't drink enough water too. I'm curious about tomorrow's weight.
5/05 81.7 kg
Yesterday I was really sick (got cold) but had to go to work. I couldn't eat enough, took my pills and today I'm better. I'm really surprised this one week change. I didn't expect this much lost. I still think most of it water but it's good to see these numbers. I hope to maintain this lost and go further.
5/06 82.2 kg
Ok, I've been expected this increase because of losing very fast (obviously water weight). However, yesterday was not the best. I ate dinner late and kinda a lot and also because of being sick I couldn't move. I hope tomorrow's weight will be better.

Considering my week I will be glad to maintain

Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.

Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
round 33 - start=215lbs end 202lbs
round 34 - start = 202 end 192.8lbs stomach empty and bone dry
round 35 - start = 192 end 196lbs
round 36 – 195lbs no change.
Round 37 194lbs start and finish but did see 192 for a couple days
Round 38 –196lbs starting – 194lbs end. I went into this round kinda heavy. Not really counting this as a loss
Round 39 goal – would like to see at least one morning weigh in less than 190#

4/28 193lbs – we don’t diet to hard on the weekend but I hope I have the willpower to hit it hard all week long.
4/29 192lbs – kinda light on food for some reason yesterday but went over goal if you count the adult beverages.
4/30 192.00 – I usually do not report the .0 --- it is not typical for me to loose on a weekend since we don’t try very hard from Friday – Sunday night.
5/1 191.00 – posting the .0 again. totally unexpected after eating around 1200 calorie dinner.
5/2 192 – ate kinds good. Drank like a fish. Can’t lose every day! First words out of Wife’s mouth this morning “HAVE A SANDWICH”
5/3 – 194lbs dressed – got called into work early and didn’t weigh in at normal time. Also had clothing on. Should have weighed more considering what I ate yesterday!
5/4 – 192 - ate good. Last night the scale had me at 55.9% water. I average 52-53% so I am wondering if I see a drop soon
5/5 – 192lbs – I am fine with weight but would like to see less then 20% body fat. I have a little ways to go yet.

5/6 – 189lbs – Crazy – i know I did not eat right yesterday. Water was still at 54% body fat is 20%

Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point

May:
1: 215.9... Joining late. Been off for almost 2 weeks. Gained a lot of water weight. I'm hoping for good progress for the rest of this round because of that.
2: 214.9
3: 213.8... Feeling a bit lighter already. Getting back to IF today.
4: 212.6
5: 211.6... Ate back all but a few exercise calories. I'm excited to see how my weekend unfolds into the end of this round!
6: 212... Out in the hot sun all day, and didn't drink enough water to compensate.

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.

Ultimate goal: 138
Round 38: 180.1 (-5.9)

CSW: 180.1

4/28: 180.1 Same as yesterday. Lots of walking yesterday but also lots of indulgences in my diet. I wanted a break from logging before the next round. Back to work!
4/29: 181.7 Walked a bunch but ate steak and popcorn and wine. This is the result.
4/30 181.2 Continued my walking regime. Diet a little indulgent by eating back all my exercise calories. It’s a step int the right direction though. I just need to stop eating Sunday morning grits—their calorie density just throws me off for the whole day.
5/1: 182.8 I had 12,000 steps and a great DB workout. Drank my water and stayed in calorie goal. Sigh.
5/2: 183.2, walked 12,000 steps and did power cardio workout. Ate back half my workout calories and gained again. Not sure if I should just be patient or should stop eating exercise calories back.
5/3: 183.4, family celebration. I was careful most of the day but wheels came off in the evening. I wonder if some of this isn’t water weight from TOM. In any case I need to eliminate after dinner calories to see.
5/4: 181.4 There goes the water bloat. Made better food choices yesterday. Not perfect but better. Here’s to progress.
5/5:182.5. Lotsofwalking and biking. Stayed in calorie goal but not nearly enough water

5/6: 181, woo hoo! I’ll take it. This challenge has been such a challenge for me. Calorie counting and restriction is the only way I lose weight. Exercise feels good but I really can only eat back about 1/4 to1/3 of my calories. Otherwise I stall.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/28 209.4 Ready. Steady. Go! Good luck to everyone in this challenge!
4/29 208.5 Not sure if this weight will stick around tomorrow because yesterday was a very busy day working with my DH rebuilding a shed at my mom’s. No breakfast, late small salad with some chicken for lunch, and just a small bowl of rice krispies for dinner because by the time we finished and got home it was just too late to eat much else and I was really tired. Did keep hydrated throughout day though.
4/30 208.5 hmmm…..it did stick around. Yay!
5/01 208.1
5/02 208.6 I like to graph my weight loss, and my graph looks like a rickety old staircase with risers and treads. As long as that staircase is heading down, it’s all good. So it would seem that for the past 4 days, I’m hanging out on a tread. I’ve heard some people refer to this as a mini-plateau. Anyway, I’m doing really good eating within my calorie goal, and no mindless snacking, and from past experience with weight loss I know I can linger on a “tread” for anywhere from 3 to 7 days. Then I have a drop. I just hope this holds true this time around. Have a nice day, everyone!
5/03 207.8 Yes!...a number under 208 something. I'll take it!
5/04 No scale today. Slept over at my nurse daughter’s last night to put her kids on the bus this AM for her and take her youngest to preschool. Then I spent the afternoon/evening at my other daughter’s house helping her start packing up to move. I’m tired! But I’m home now and will weigh in the AM.
5/05 207.2
5/06 207.0 Hope that number sticks around for tomorrow so I meet my goal this round. Very rainy day here in NJ today. I’ll be at my daughter’s house again helping her pack up to move. I came home exhausted last night. While we are packing, we are going through everything. Making piles of “donate” “yard sale” and “throw out/recycle”. If she doesn’t want it or need it anymore, she doesn’t want to move with it. Smart girl. But a lot of work.

4/30 139.4
5/01 139.4
5/02 139.4 What is it with this number?

5/03 138.8 Yesssss! That’s what I like to see. And I even had a little breakfast in me because I forgot to weigh until after I’d started eating.

5/04 139.0
5/05 139.0 Ate an impromptu, celebratory, big dinner at a restaurant last night. As a result, I may see a jump in the scale over the next couple days. After logging with my best guesses, it looks like I **might** have eaten at maintenance, which I hope is true. Going to try to be reeeeallly good today and tomorrow.

R39 SW=220.9

I usually don't do goals for each round, but I want to put it out there so that I give myself some extra incentive.

Goal for this round: Average weight in the 219's.

Day/Weight/Comment

4/28: 220.4 Tough kettlebell workout yesterday and then came home and went on a 1 hour walk with husband and the dog. Massage today!
4/29: 220.0 Worked on getting my water in yesterday which I find much harder to do on the weekends. Had a great massage yesterday. Hoping the weather holds up so that I can get a long walk in today.
4/30:220.9 Had chinese food yesterday, so I'm not surprised about the jump due to the increased sodium. Went for a 2.2 mile walk yesterday. Allergies are killing me today, so no kettlebell
5/01:--221.1 More water retention from left over chinese food. Calories were good, so now I just wait for the water weight to leave. Drinking a lot of water today.
5/02:--221.3 Ugh. I am assuming that is still some water weight. I have been really good in getting my water in the last couple of days. Allergies under control today, so kettlebell tonight.
5/03--220.0 There goes the water weight.
5/04:--218.6 I had to weigh myself twice this morning. I hate that my emotions are affected by the number on the scale. I know that I have been eating within my calories and exercising, so I will lose weight, but it is nice when the scale reflects the work that I've put in. Kettlebell tonight.
5/05:--218.6 Holding steady. Tweeked my back a little yesterday, so I didn't go to kettlebell last night. Going for a hike today. Working on getting in my water today.
5/06:--218.4 Successfully got my water in yesterday. Going out to lunch today, I've looked over the menu and know what I plan on eating, now let's hope that I stick to it.

4/28 - 121.7
4/29 - 121.7 I've learned from this challenge to expect a lot of ups and downs with the numbers. Decided that my goal for this round is to keep the high number under 124.
4/30 - 123.4

5/04 - 122.4

5/06 - 121.8 very surprised at this after some Cinco de Mayo festivities. But that probably just means I'll see the bump up tomorrow
