Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 48

marcvb35

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
Round 48 - goal – last round I only wanted to lose a couple pounds. Yesterday morning I decided despite my wife’s opinion to set my goal at 180. I know this is lower than my prime weight in high school, but I do not workout anymore and feel like its time to get rid of the love handles. This might take more then one 10 day round.
7/26 weight 190

7/27 – 191lbs – hydration is at the highest I have ever. 56% - that may explain the one-pound gain on a day that I had very low calories. If I dieted without my daily adult beverages I would wither away to nothing. Cheers and happy weekend!!!
7/28 – up early and off to lake Michigan for fishing and drinking.
7/29 – feeling yesterday. So tired. Going to bed early.
7/30 – forgot to weight naked. Weight with clothes on is looking very bad. 7 pounds swing in the wrong direction
I will find out in a couple days how much damage I did over the weekend

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 - 158.5 - I was going to gripe about being this weight for almost 8 days straight, especially since I've stayed real close to my weight loss calories. Then I realized because of our out of town visitors, I've had food that is higher in sodium, I haven't been walking as much, and water has not been my drink of choice. We've got one last barbecue planned for this weekend and then they'll leave on Sunday. I need to enjoy this weekend and not worry about what the scale says. Last week, before they came, I was hoping to maintain and I need to be happy that I did.
7/28 - 159.5
7/29 - 161 - Well, 158.5 looks pretty good right now! I had a little of everything at our picnic yesterday and several drinks, so this is no surprise. I have figured out that exactly 11 years ago I had dieted to 157 lbs. I hit a plateau and stopped counting calories and tracking my weight. This time will be different. I don't regret the overindulgence yesterday, since this time I'm not going to let it derail me. (And we had so much fun!)
7/30 - 160 - Slowly getting rid of the weekend indulgences.

7/27: 324.2 Off to a good start. Need to get back to drinking more water. I haven’t been doing that the last two days. The one thing I have found out that is working is I don’t snack after dinner anymore. I used to always get a late night snack before bed, but now I have nothing or if I do it’s a hot cup of tea. No food though. I think that helped with the high loss last round. Need to keep that trend going.

7/28: 322.2 Well, this is a total shock. I didn't track my food at all yesterday. May have injured my left Achilles the other day at the gym, so I was unable to workout yesterday. Hurt to walk. Hoping it's not serious. Anyway, not being able to workout put me in a funk all day. Grabbed Wendy's for lunch--though I did get grilled chicken sandwich. Had a healthier dinner and stuck to not having any snacks before bed so that may have helped. Going to rest this weekend then start back at the gym Monday if feeling better.

7/29: 321.2 I had a good Saturday. I met friends for breakfast out, but made smart choices. I avoided the hash browns and ate tomatoes instead. (Wasn’t as hard to give it up as I thought considering I LOVE starchy foods). Lunch went well with fruits, cream cheese & bagel chips, and avocado. Even though my foot was still hurting, I was able to get my walk in. Skipped the gym and went shopping instead. Have to love retail therapy! Finished the evening off with a greek salad and cup of soup while having an outdoor movie night. Then a hot cup of tea when I got home. Still need to work on getting my water in. Haven’t been meeting my goal on that lately. Going to try harder next week on that. The no snacking after dinner is doing wonders though. The late night cup of tea instead of binging on carbs/junk food has made all the difference in the world. All in all, not a bad weekend so far.

7/30: 321.5 Not a great day. Still unable to exercise because of my injury. Getting very frustrated. Had a big dinner. Ate more at that sitting than I have since the beginning of round 47. Need to get my head back in the game and maybe schedule a doctors appointment to take care of this Achilles pain.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/27 - 221.2 - Went out with an old friend and only had one beer. Passed on the charcuterie plate that I wanted bad, but those are the make or break moments.
7/28- 220.2 - Had 600 calories of pizza last night with 2 glasses of red wine, just ate lightly rest of the day and stayed within 1550 calories. Some foods are out of the question though since the calorie/enjoyment trade off is low. See ya' soda and muffins.
7/29 - 220.6 - Ate out last night, very hard to count calories at restaurants. I went overboard on some kind of oily garlic bread. Then got more of the same bread with entree, didn't know it was coming. Still not a bad day.
7/30 -219.6.6 - Out of the 220's two days short of goal. Next plan is to be out of 210s by Sept 1st for a vacation. Doable, but almost no room for error.

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.

My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.

My daily weight is on my home scale, so I can monitor how my week is going.

My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 - 188.2 - I got kicked out of ketosis and ate like it for a few days. I'm less concerned with the weight gain, knowing that it is mostly water, but I am bothered by how physically awful I feel. One positive outcome of the last few days, it reaffirmed that I feel better physically eating low carb. I am back on track today and excited to get back to it.
7/28 - 187.3 - I ate low carb but didn't track. I was short on my water yesterday. Today's goals will be to eat LCHF and hit my water goal.
7/29 - 187.0 - I did better with my water intake yesterday and stayed on track with LCHF. Today I am going to go try to add back in some exercise.
7/30 - 185.7 - I'm beginning to feel better physically. I didn't get in any exercise yesterday, but I'm going to go for a run today.

Day/Weight/Comment

•7/27 - 189.2 - Early weigh in. This end of round drop and beginning round overnight gain of ONE pound seems to be my trend. I'm officially in the overweight BMI category. Kind of a weird eating day for me yesterday. Went to help my niece again, but was rushed, so I threw some random food items into my lunchbag. None of my plans for the day were achieved. 35g carbs, 26g net carbs. Lettuce, grape tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, strawberries, cottage cheese, peanut butter
•7/28 - 187.8 - Okay, I know, I'm supposed to be dialing down the carbs, but I have 4 more days left and fried chicken and fresh peach sounded delicious. 63g carbs, 55g Net carbs. Seasoned coating for chicken, green beans, broccoli slaw, poppyseed dressing, 1/2 medium fresh peach, peanut butter, of course
•7/29 - 188.2 - Early weigh in. 57g carbs, 51g net carbs. Salad greens, 1/2 medium fresh peach, strawberries, cottage cheese, seasoned coating for chicken, peanut butter


•7/30 - 188.2 - 50g carbs, 37g net carbs. Green beans, peanuts, peanut butter, seasoned coating for chicken.

7/27- Out of town, no weigh in. Long road trip yesterday which meant fast food dinner. I anticipated it so I budgeted well prior to hitting the road. Opted for a kid’s meal, which helped with the calories.
7/28- Out of town, no weigh in. Peach cobbler.
7/29- Out of town, no weigh in. Blueberry muffins. Couldn’t say no to the muffins toddler baked with his grandmother.
7/30- 225.0 I was so apprehensive stepping on the scale this morning. I was convinced I gained 5 pounds over the weekend. What a relief! 10% body weight loss. I can’t wait til it really sticks for me to log it officially!

Hubby's bd yesterday, but I ate a lovely, healthy lunch out - grilled shrimp, salad, broccoli, one spoonful of his dessert. Yesterday evening I went for a 4-mile walk along the Maumee River on the beautiful Rivergreenway.

7/28 - 148.2 - 1330 - 10-day ave 1425 - 35 min walk + 30 min gardening
One of those mysterious upticks. All is well. It looks like a beautiful day, so I'm hoping to get at least one nice walk along one of our three rivers. Enjoy your weekend!

7/29 - 148 - 1653 - 10-day ave 1458 - 30 min walk + misc walking around stores & public garden
Splurged a little last night on ice cream and crackers (not together!) and my sodium was a little higher than usual, so no surprise. Pants I haven't worn in a while feel looser, so there's that! I've been having a lot of lower back and hip pain and blood work shows significant inflammation, so in addition to seeing a chiropractor I'm going to start an anti-inflammation cleanse in a few days. Happily, it's not very different from how I typically eat - the main things I'll have to give up are coffee (no biggee if I have my herbal teas) and chicken, which we eat fairly often. Anyway, I'm not doing it for weight loss, but will be interested to know whether it makes a difference (heavy on veggies, whole grains/no bread or grain-based pasta, and healthy fats). It's the Journey Alive 8-week cleanse program by Coralie Murphy, which is science-based and not extreme. Has anyone here done it?

@no1racefan1, I am so sorry to hear that you have shingles. I really hope the medication you are taking can stop the progression.

@SheilaBoneham, Its interesting to me that the anti-inflammatory diet that you are going to start includes whole grains. Any grains cause inflammation in my body. I don't think that I have come across this particular cleanse in my Internet search's and readings. Good luck. I hope it's beneficial to you.

7/27 178.2 // Although this is a gain from some of my lowest weights recently it’s a decrease in my starting weight over the last three rounds. I know that tomorrow I’m going to spend all day eating out so I’m hoping to keep my diet in check today.
7/28 177.2/ Happy to see a decrease!
7/29 178.2/ I ate out for pretty much every meal yesterday and didn’t drink enough water so this was to be expected. I’m getting back on track today and trying to rehydrate.
7/30 177.8/ This is helpful after eating out again last night. We’re spending the rest of the week eating at home and I’ll be drinking plenty of water during work today. The weather isn’t great so I might do a work-out video when I get home. I’m looking forward to plenty of losses this week.

7/30 184.2 that's ok a woosh is usually follow by a bounce. Today is World Embroidery Day. Yesterday I finished a big project. I always delay finishing - I don't know why I get nervous about it, because I am usually pretty happy with them when they are done. Anyway I ate more because I was anxious, but also went on a 5k walk to balance it all out.

Round 48 *Will be on vacation during the majority of this round
7/27: 165.0/Had to work today, so got up super early to get in a run and exercise. Looking forward to starting vacation tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how my runs go as I am going from super flat terrian to hilly terrian, in the final week of C25k training, ehhhhh. I plan on trying to stay within my calorie allowance, but things happen.
7/28: 165.2/Leaving for vacation today. Would like to see this number down not up, hoping to maintain. Going to try and log in with weights depending on scale access, but might be done for rest of this round.
7/29: 164.6/Went over calories yesterday, all day driving to start vacation. It is amazing how EASY it is to stack up those calories in one fast food meal. If anything recording calories really opens your eyes to how many calories can be in one meal, even when your trying to be good. Went for a run this morning, I am on week 8 of c25k and supposed to run 2.75 miles. I am in hill county now, so had to walk about 1/4 of that, but I did it!
7/30: 163.8/Really on point with calories yesterday, which was reflected on the scale. I am still on vacation, but travelling to a different state today and staying in a rental with friends. This will be the hardest part of my vacation, since I will be surrounded by temptation and in a unknown place.

Worked 12 hour shifts this weekend. I’m off for the next two days so I will be hitting the gym.

I’m in. However, I find when I get on the scale every day it drives me crazy. My starting weight is 137.8.
I think in 10 days I should be able to lose 4 lbs. I will post that I stayed under my calorie goal and exercised every day. At the end of 10 days I will weigh myself and see if it made a difference.
