Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 48

I’m in. I’ve gone completely out of control! I can’t believe I keep doing this to myself.
SW this round 185.8
Goal this round 180.0 looking for -5.8 this round.
It’s a big goal but my body is just so so so bloated that I think I’ll drop a few pounds easy as long as I push the water. If I can make this happen this round I will make more reasonable goals in the future rounds.
7/27 - 185.8
7/28 - 184.4. (-1.4) so far so good.
7/29 - 182.8 (-3 total so far)
7/30 - 180.8 (-5 total so far)
7/31 - 180.0. (-5.8 total so far) I know it’s just water weight coming off but it’s a good motivator anyway!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
7/27 135.5 The aftermath of sitting in a car for 2 days.
7/28 135.0 @0500 I have been craving burnt ends from a local BBQ place. I forgot to tell them no sauce. I think this has dropped me out of nutritional ketosis. Color me sad. Why would you slather sauce on meat that has been dry rubbed and smoked and tasted awesome? The sauce is awful!
7/29 134.5 Ate well yesterday but wanted “something.” I haven’t had one of those days sine I started keto over a year ago. Finally got a fat bomb out of the freezer and all was well. I’m curious about where everyone is and what your high temperatures are. I live in the desert SW - Las Vegas, and the temperature this morning at 5:30AM was 91*F with anticipated high of only 109 today.
7/30 133.5 Water fitness was great!

Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)
Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 47 End Weight = 157.2 (2.4 lbs lost)
Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)
Round 48 Goal: to be in the 155's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in week 2 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/weekday
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.
07/27 - 157.2 (no change from yesterday) I had a really good exercise day yesterday! Was able to get a run in and completed the 1st week of my 90 day challenge with the day 7 exercises. Food wise, everything was on point. I'm tired today and super happy it's Friday! So looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, although a later weigh-in may sque the number on the scale. I bought a book yesterday that was recommended by another person on a similar weight loss/fitness journey called Intuitive Eating and looking forward to diving into this book over the weekend. Welcome to everyone new to this challenge, excited to see what this round brings!
07/28 - 157.0 (down .2 from yesterday) Late weigh-in this morning and hopefully will have a late weigh-in tomorrow, so we'll see what the scale brings on Monday with a normal weigh-in time. Yesterday I completed day 8 of my 90 day challenge: Body Squat w/ 2 Knee Lift, Incline Push Ups, Alternating Reverse Lunges, Elbow Plank, 4-Point Triceps Dips, Side Step Squat w/ Bicep Curls (used dumbbells), & Bridge Lifts. My upper body is my weakest area (in terms of strength) and I put on weight here 1st and lose here last. Those 4-point triceps dips were hard!! But the sense of accomplishment after is worth all the pain of doing them! On point yesterday with nutrition, calories & macros. Today is a scheduled rest day and my plan was to do nothing, but my daughter just got invited over to a friend's house, which opens me up to be able to get outside and get a run in - Yay!
07/29 - 156.7 (down .3 from yesterday) Didn't get to sleep in this morning as my daughter had a friend sleepover and they were up quite early wanting breakfast. They had a baked berry French toast, I had prepped the night before, I took a small bite but it didn't really interest me, happy to stick to my green smoothie. Yesterday was a partial rest day, just did a short run, it was a little warm but there was a nice breeze so no complaints. I did my day 10 of 90 workout earlier this morning and for the rest of the day I'm hoping to get some meal prep in and then have some nice family time with my husband and daughter. Enjoy your day everyone
07/30 - 156.3 (down .4 from yesterday) I've got a feeling my weight is about to have a little bounce up, maybe I'm wrong but we'll see. Usually when it drops like this (more than .2 a day), it goes up a bit and then settles back down. I'll just keep plugging along and roll with it. I didn't get enough sleep on Saturday night, so yesterday wasn't the best. I felt sluggish in my workout, and while I ate according to plan, I didn't eat enough. I took a huge afternoon nap and then couldn't sleep last night and stayed awake stressing about all sorts of things. So not good! I'm about to make some protein pancakes for breakfast and get re-charged for the day. Today is an active recovery day for day 11 of my 90 day challenge, so looking to get some yoga in, self care, and do the meal prep that didn't happen yesterday. Let's have a great start to this new week everyone!
07/31 - 156.5 (up .2 from yesterday) There's that little bump I felt coming, no reason for it except normal weight fluctuations. Yesterday was good food wise and an easy day 11 of 90 challenge wise with just gratitude sun salutations scheduled. My lower back was in a lot of weird pain yesterday so I did yoga stretches throughout the day, Epson salt bath, and alternated heat and ice therapy. Still feel kinda of wonky this morning. I've done my stretches again and will do these a couple more times throughout the day and then see about my day 12 of 90 workout later today. It is mostly upper a body/booty workout, so it should be fine but I'll see how the back situation progresses before tackling this. I'm okay with taking a day off if needed. And, sleep seems to be my big issue this round, another night with little of it. My daughter was not sleeping last night, she is 12 and has OCD/Anxiety issues and last night was one of the night she just didn't sleep, which puts me on high alert that she is about to have an OCD blow-up/anxiety attack. So I was checking in on her all night to make sure all was good. She was okay but just not sleeping, but she has seemed "off" since the weekend so I know something is coming and I need to be ever watchful of her. She has been on meds. for the past couple months prescribed by her pediatrician as a "hold in place" until we can get her on a regular medication protocol by a Psychiatric MD. We are finally getting closer to that appointment which is August 20th, which I am just living for. The medication she is on right now is really just a sedative to try to keep her in a calmer place, the goal is to get her on something that will deal with the actual OCD symptoms, which in turn will put her in a calmer place. We also do CBT therapy, this drug protocol was a last result this year after years of dealing with this. It's hard. She is such a wonderful, happy child when not troubled by these issues, I hate seeing her have to deal with all this. But I will say, I am handling of it it so much better since I decided I had to focus on me again as well. Being in control of my health, nutrition, and fitness makes me able to be a better parent for her.

7/27- 170 Ate 3 tacos at dinner time last night and went way over my sodium for the day. But I also did 2 workouts as well 😊
7/28- 170
7/29- 170 Patiently waiting for the 160's! Trying to get a workout in every day and staying within my calorie range. It's amazing how much better I feel already though!
7/30- 169! My family keeps bringing goodies to our home, cobblers, cakes and the other day doughnuts. I've been trying to stay away from all of it but yesterday I gave in to the doughnuts lol. Still proud of myself! 😊
7/31- 168 I sure hope my scales are right. I know it's still early in my journey (14 days in, 7 lbs down) so the weight loss will probably slow down soon.

I'm back! Was doing this challenge last year for a while. I think from about round 11 - 17. Got off track and am ready to get serious again.I'm 60 years old, soon to be 61. I like to walk and do yoga, but haven't been doing either lately.
I mostly eat a Paleo type diet, but just bought some ketostix and may give keto a whirl, but not until after my anniversary and birthday in August. I've done two rounds of Whole30 and had really good results from it.

I think if I blend it with one or two different grated hard cheeses and added a lot more spicy heat I would like them more. I also need a hotter, hot pepper! I eat jalapenos all the time and they seem like a sweet pepper to me I'll have to experiment
I always think the same thing when I eat them. The cream cheese is a little "plain". I think maybe I will try mixing some Ranch Powder in it next time. Or maybe some hot sauce into the cream cheese. Thanks for the ideas.

I'm late but I'm in! I did a round at the beginning of July but have been on holiday since. Holidays ended yesterday and I have to get back on track starting today. I swam pretty much every day while away but ate and drank way to much, so I managed to gain a few pounds

7/30 - 257....no exercise and not great eating yesterday...still off schedule with the 4 1/2 hrs time difference. I did drink quite a bit of water though, which is why I think I have a little loss today.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 188.4 Self Sabotage during and after a night out with friends yesterday. My own fault, no excuses. Ate 166 Net Carbs, 1972 Calories In / 2675 Out. 11 of 13 step hours (250) on fitbit. Walked 3.98 miles with 9,393 steps. Did great today so tomorrow’s stats should be much better. Socializing makes it tough!
7/28 186.0 whoosh…, high sodium and water weight gone for good along with doubts and self-sabotage. It was a good day yesterday. I worked hard to make up for my social night out. I ate 19 Net Carbs. 1192 Calories In / 3089 Calories Out. 13/13 fitbit steps (250). Blood sugar 126 before meal test (still suffering a bit from day before). Brisk 3 mile walk at school track. Day’s total was 16,625 steps and a total of 7.03 miles for the day. Best victory was that I made good healthy choices in my meals all day (not just stayed in my macros). I did indulge in that 90% Lindt chocolate, but it kept my cravings curbed as well as serves as an antioxidant. An overall very successful day.
7/29 185.2 Overall good day but not as active due to some light but frequent car time. I at 19 Net Carbs. 1263 Calories In / 2354 Calories Out. Did 9,246 steps with no particular exercise involved. Walked 3.92 miles and hit 11/13 steps hours (250) on fitbit. Followed my diet very well but drank very little water or fluids overall. I plan on drinking much more today. I forgot to check my blood sugars yesterday. My doctor has me checking before meals now instead of in the morning so I often forget to do it before I eat. I made delicious Keto friendly Jalepeno poppers yesterday. So fast, easy and delicious. Just cut off ends of Jalepenos, slice in half (like a canoe). Take out seeds and ribs (rinse under water if you need to). Fill with cream cheese (and a little salt if you need more sodium.) wrap in ½ slice of bacon, or lay ¼ slice on top (depends on how many calories you want. Bake on 375 until bacon is done to your liking. Net carb about 1 to 1.5 per popper (half) calories about 60 – 70 (depending on how high you heap the cream cheese). I use about ½ TBSP per popper of cream cheese so calories are about 70 each. Yummy!
7/30 188.8 Went way overboard out of town in restaurant(s). But tons of walking and steps. I hope I can get this number back down quickly, hoping it’s water weight too. 397 net carbs (ouch!). 2704 Calories In / 3515 Calories out. How can I gain when CI are over 800 less than CO ? So hoping a lot of it is fast moving water weight. Had 17,172 steps. 13/13 fitbit step hours (250). Total miles logged on fitbit 7.28 miles with no actual intended exercise or walks due to the travel. Steps and miles were work related when I arrived at destination. Water consumption good. Just went hog wild on the special foods that was made available to me during my trip. I am working hard today to stick to my guns and remedy the situation. Just being human and imperfect , but today I feel strong and not so tempted.
7/31 185.8 Thank you water loss and results from continual movement of my body (even if not hard exercise). I tried to keep my food intake all very low carb and calorie to get back on track. Today I will focus on good eating habits with a bit higher calories than yesterday. Yesterdays STATS: 11 Net Carbs. 819 Calories In / 3171 Calories Out. 17,328 steps including a brisk 3 mile walk at the school track. Total miles walked on fitbit 7.33 miles. 13/13 fitbit step hours (250). Forgot to check blood glucose prior to meal. I am still practicing Intermittent Fasting most days with 16:8. My walking friend stopped for icecream immediately following the walk at the school. They ate theirs. I watched. I am proud that I had a good day. I binge at least once per challenge (don’t mean to or want to). But it’s never hard to get back on track. It’s just hard to stay there sometimes. Happy Tuesday everyone!

I was doing some research on keto and how it works. Then I started looking at my diet. I'm completely going in the wrong direction. When I started trying to change my life style a few weeks ago I thought I was doing a good thing by eating Lean Cuisine and other brands like that for lunch. The calories was great and to be honest most of the food is pretty good. Problem is at the end of the day carbs are like 2 thirds of my diet. Sodium is higher than I like as well but still not bad.
Don't get me wrong, I'm eating better then I usually would but I think it may be time to stop buying the frozen foods that's "healthy" and start making my own. I'm not having any problem with calories now but I seem to have forgotten about everything else that's in the food.
I dunno. What do you guys think?4 -

“Overall, during this period, you have lost 2,355 cals (net Calories deficit), which means you should have lost 11oz. Your total Calories intake was 14,632 and your total Calories expended was 16,987 (of which, 3,848 cals were burned from exercise).
According to your weigh-ins, you've gained about 2lb during this time. You've lost about 2.7lb less than expected.”
Hahahahahaha!!! So I guess I *really* weigh 163.7, which I believe.
Culprit: two salty meals? Many more steps?? More sleep! Not going to worry about it. Still...it is disconcerting when I was so active & brought my food, weighed food, etc, tracked all. I see why folks have a 5-lb maintenance window.
Two planned & tracked restaurant meals which I don’t have normally.
Carrying on!
7/31 166.0 Trend wt: 165.3 Loss/wk: 0.4
BMI: 24.9
Had a bit of a carb pity party last night - all weighed & tracked LOL Not too far over in calories, but Very unlike me. I think I’m back on track today...a great night’s sleep should help me along.
Perspective helps: My wt is down for the month. My exercise was highest yet this month. All is good. Relax. You can do this & will learn from it.

7/28- 194.8- I'm glad it's still going in the right direction. Still doing well. My grandparents are coming over tomorrow and staying for a week so I don't know how that's going to affect this but it shouldn't too much to be honest. We'll see. Still going to stay under.
7/29- 195.0- I drank water before this weigh-in on accident so maybe I'm the same as before? Lol can't be for sure.
7/30- No weigh in. Unfortunately, I didn't have access to my scale since my grandparents are in my room. I'll go take my scale and take it with me to the basement where I'm staying. I might update with a weigh-in later today but otherwise I will just do it tomorrow.
7/31- 193.7- Woohoo! Happy about this weigh-in. Make me feel like I can get to 191.0 by the end of the challenge. Also, I think this is an NSV because yesterday I was very tired and needed to study and wanted to get a coffee in order to stay up a little longer but I'm the type that can't drink coffee unless it has milk and has sugar in it so I knew that would add extra calories that I didn't need since I'd already hit my goal. I decided against it even though I was strongly considering it and even told my brother I'd get a coffee. So had no coffee! But might get one today since I have my exam tomorrow morning! Please wish me luck!

@mthomas hang in there. One of my sons has OCD and anxiety. Often unable to leave the house, and at other times unable to be in the house. We used to regularly be walking the streets at 2:00am. Getting the right meds and finishing high school have both helped him tremendously. He also had dissociative episodes or fugue state episodes and that hasn't happened for a long time. I hope you are able to get some rest. Sleep deprivation does make life hard. This is the kind of thing that makes me take a WAM day. WAM stands for three things, Wife And Mother, the feeling of being knocked about by life, and Work at Maintenance. I find giving myself an easier day with food and exercise makes it easier no to go wildly off track.3

I was doing some research on keto and how it works. Then I started looking at my diet. I'm completely going in the wrong direction. When I started trying to change my life style a few weeks ago I thought I was doing a good thing by eating Lean Cuisine and other brands like that for lunch. The calories was great and to be honest most of the food is pretty good. Problem is at the end of the day carbs are like 2 thirds of my diet. Sodium is higher than I like as well but still not bad.
Don't get me wrong, I'm eating better then I usually would but I think it may be time to stop buying the frozen foods that's "healthy" and start making my own. I'm not having any problem with calories now but I seem to have forgotten about everything else that's in the food.
I dunno. What do you guys think?
Lean cuisine type meals are a great tool. I had one for lunch today! But I try not to rely on them entirely for the exact reasons you stated. I say go ahead and keep a few in the freezer for when you need them, and also start trying out cooking for yourself more!3 -
Round 47- SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5lbs)
Round 48. In for my second time and loving the 10-day challenge. It's inspiring to see everyone here with many rounds completed and others who are just getting started like me.
Round 48 goals: 10,000 steps per day. In bed by 11 pm.
7/27- 152.5 - 13,000 steps, plus some extra exercise. Made time for breakfast and remembered to pack a healthy lunch.
7/28 -152 - 12,000 steps. Attended a wedding today. The food was not my style, so no trouble to not overindulge. Nearly two weeks of consistent exercise has sure made me feel better.
7/29 - 152.5 - 13,000 steps - Forgot to post.
7/30 - 153.5 - 15,000 steps. Prosecco and pizza and pasta, oh my. No surprise to see today's number. Got a nice little hike in with the family. It was our puppy's first hike and he was surprisingly well behaved! The weather is warm here (for the Pacific Northwest) and I'm glad to be back in my air conditioned office today. A study just came out that said that Seattle is the least air conditioned metropolitan city in the US. So when it's 80 degrees outside, there's no escape - it's also 80 degrees inside. I kind of just melt into my couch on hot weekends and don't want to move at all.
7/31 - 153 - 11,000 steps, elliptical and weight lifting. It's a little cooler here today and it feels sooo good. Glad to see the scale creeping back down.

Thank you so much! I don't blame you. It's hard without coffee.2 -
@grebber1, I was on the Lean Cuisine train for a short while once. I have always cooked, EV-E-RY DAY. At times when I was rushed or just too tired, I took a lean cuisine once in a while for my lunch at work to have with a small salad. You MUST eat something fresh with it to balance out the salt and second, but really first, it's not enough food to be considered a meal, although it is plenty of calories. I say cook your own food, use those meals and anything packaged as a last resort back up.
@denswrex, I can appreciate that you are putting the nix on protein bars. Years ago, I used to use them sometimes after a workout. (those lean cuisine days)They are glorified candy bars, and most have soy protein, which I avoid.
@DebCountsAll, Safe travels. Enjoy!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27: 178.8. I won’t lie, this was a late weigh-in, but I’m taking it. I’m still playing nutritional roulette. Why? I know how critical it is for me to get my weight down and my nutrition on point. I’m in my 50s and I can’t afford to keep eating like a 11-year-old let loose in a junk food store. Today, for example, I had a banana in the morning, nothing all day and then a jam sandwich, diet coke and a piece of chocolate that my son bought for me. I’m way low on calories, but not given my body one bit of nutrition. No point in whining though. I’ll just start over right now.
7/28: 178.4
7/29: 178.8. Super lazy weekend. Binge watched an entire two seasons of Queen of the South. I was so absorbed my accent changed to Southern and I could swear like a trooper in Spanish. Feels like I spent the weekend in Mexico and Texas. That being said, no exercise, no effort to eat well, so up we go!!
7/30: 178.4. Damn scale is messing with my head. Got on and it was a whole pound less, but got on again to double check and no ma’am, no such luck. Ugh!!! Still a few ounces down is still ok.

7/27-walked, yoga, Completed week 5 radiation. I have a health update when I see the doctor All 5 weeks perfect!
7/28- Did not have a good night sleep last night, I hour, 20 mins during the day.( steroids, one more week and then we can start to cut them back, they are making me super hungry, walking helps.
7/29 Had a great day, slept last night, did a lot of walking 112mins. Goal for next week watching my food portions. Steroids are making it really hard for me, one more week and then I can start to cut them in half.
7/30- Had a great day for walking steps. Went for radiation#6 left, and I had to go to the hospital for EEG to test brain for seizures, but I doubt it because I feel fine. I did to much today.
7/31-I feel fantastic, not one symptom since I started radiation completed 25 treatments, down to the last 5, doctors said I would lose my hair after week 2 or 3 -that did not happen. I think because I drink so much water and when I wake up everyday I have an organic bread with avocado. I have been out walking at least 12,000 steps. I am very fortune.

7/27: 259 up a bit from early in the week but I have been slowly losing; my weight fluctuates alot so we'll see about tomorrow.
7/28 253.6 It may seem like a lot to lose in a day but I was down to 255 earlier in the week. I am staying under my calorie goal but am staying closer to it, I am doing slightly better with water intake, However with a night meeting and after work appointment I ate out a bit more than I like. So I’m hoping to cook at home all this week. Just back from my Saturday morning Aquafit class.
7/29 255.2
7/30 250.8 Went to the Mariner’s game so I am posting late. We beat the Astro’s. I missed Aquafit but walked a bit aroung Safeco Field. Had a training at work which included lunch and then ate at Safeco Fields so we will see how it goes tomorrow.
7/31 258.8 Did fine today except that we had pizza at our training but I mostly had salad. Should be down some by tomorrow. Made split pea soup for tomorrow.

05/07: Goal: 205.x
Looking for a general downward trend. Really focused on my logging, and on clean eating, and MOVING more - which is what I love - it gives me ENERGY!
I am SO SO determined!! I 100% NEED to stay mindful about my daily logging and being mindful about what I eat and drink. I need to get into the HEALTHY BMI band.
This is a long term thing, a few bad days or weeks is something I'm getting better at coping with.
