Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 50

allmannerofthings

@tiabirdie56 Hope you feel better soon. I find my TMJ much worse since I started watching my snacking. I have developed a new bad habit. I discovered that I am rubbing my lower teeth against the back of my front teeth. I am starting to think I need to wear my bite guard during the day - but it is hard to speak clearly when I have it on.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 :163.8
8/17: 163.2 - I had a good day yesterday until nighttime came and ate ice cream. Still under calories but need to stay away from it.
8/18: 163.1 - I got all my exercise in and ate well.
8/19: 165 - UGH!! I waited up for my teenage daughter to come home and ate mini Milky Ways to stay awake. Then I couldn't get to sleep so I ate bread and butter. Hopefully this is only a one day thing. Got lots of exercise today!
8/20: 163.5 - Going back to where I started but at least it came right back off. Logging and exercising today. We will see what tomorrow brings.
8/21: 163.5
8/22: 163.0 - I'm happy with this. Exercised and watched what I ate and it paid off.

In for my 7th Round!

Round 44 End Weight = 165.8 (5.2 lbs lost)
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)
Round 48 End Weight = 155.2 (2.0 lbs lost)
Round 49 End Weight = 151.2 (4.0 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 50 Goal: to be out of the 150's and into the 140's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in weeks 5-6 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/day
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.

8/16 = 151.2 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday was a rest day in my 90 day challenge, so I just went for a short run. I ate okay but still low on my calories, I need to get to the grocery store and do some meal prep! I'm missing my daughter, who is still away, but I'm very proud of myself that I have been able to enjoy this alone time and not worry about her like I was afraid I would. It helps that I'm getting daily pictures of her doing fun things and she has a happy, relaxed smile in each one. Today, I've got my day 28 workout to do & I want to get in a short run as well and then lots of house cleaning & laundry to do. I wish everyone a great start to round 50, this is a great challenge to be a part of! "What you do today, can improve all your tomorrows."

8/17 = 151.2 (no change from yesterday) 3rd day in a row at this weight, but I had a big loss last round, so a bit of a slow down is to be expected. I completed the 1st month of my 90 day challenge yesterday and am scheduled to start the 2nd month today but my body is rebelling. It's giving me all the nopes in regards to working out today. I'm going to take today and tomorrow off and start the 2nd month exercises on Sunday. My fitness group that I am a part of has a saying...."all or something", so I am allowing myself to listen to my body and pick this up next week. Have a great weekend everyone!

8/18 = 151.5 (up .3 from yesterday) I spent last night at my sister's & I didn't have my scale with me this morning, so I used hers, so this may or may not be a real "gain". There is no reason for it, so it doesn't bother me. Today was my 2nd rest day and I was still not feeling 100% when I woke up. I finally went to the grocery store and I'm prepped to have my nutrition back on point tomorrow when I re-start up again with my workouts. I'm feeling better after dinner tonight of beef tenderloin, broccoli, and rice, thinking maybe my iron was low. I'm going to start back up with multi-vitamins this week, I've gotten out of the habit and need to better with this.

8/19 = 151.2 (down .3 from yesterday) Back down to this number again, which is fine. I have a big event on Thursday and I just got my dress back from being altered and don't want to lose too much weight this week and have it be too loose. It fits perfectly right now, so I'm okay with maintaining this week if that is what happens. I ate closer to maintenance today but I got in a lot of exercise. Did my day 29 of 90 workout, went for a run, & a long walk.

8/20 = 150.8 (down .4 from yesterday) Scale is moving again! So close to being under 150, but I think that might not happen and stick until the next round. I definitely will go over calories on Thursday night with drinks as well as food and then it will probably take the last 2 days to rebound. I will be mindful of what I eat and drink at this event, but I also am taking it as a "no strings attached" evening. I plan on enjoying myself in a reasonable manner and then getting right back to eating at a deficit the next day. Today is a rest day on my 90 day challenge but I plan on getting a long walk in as I'm in a steps challenge in another group. Have a great start to this new week everyone!

8/21 = 150.1 (down .7 from yesterday) Yesterday was a good day, got in lots of steps for a "rest day" and ate well within my calories. The horrible humidity were were having has stopped, hopefully gone for the rest of the summer and there is a cool breeze which is nice change for August. In other news, my daughter and I met with a new doctor yesterday to work on a new protocol for her anxiety and OCD medication and I really liked him, which is such a relief. There is so much stress in my life, parenting her through this, but taking care of myself and making my health and well-being a priority, makes it all so much more manageable. We will switch her over to the new medication on Saturday, hoping it will be seamless and a non-event. "Today is my tomorrow. It's up to me to shape it, to take control, and seize every opportunity. The power is in the choices I make each day. I eat well. I live well. I shape me."

8/22 = 149.7 (down .4 from yesterday) I'm under 150!!! Last time I weighed this low was 2 years ago, very happy to see this number Hope I can make it stick for the end of the round, but if it bumps up a little, it will for sure by the next round. Yesterday I did my day 31 of 90 exercises: Squat Thrusts, Low Push Slide, Reverse Dragon Lunge with High Kick, Active Bicycles, Cross Body Mountain Climbers, Skinny Sumo, & Single Leg Bridge Lift and went for a 2 mile walk. Today is a yoga day and will try for a walk but it is a little drizzly. I took my 1 month progress photos for the 90 day challenge yesterday and yes, changes are happening! Definitely a noticeable reduction in my mid-section, Yay for progress!

This round I’m just back from a trip. So happy that I did not gain. The credit for that is mostly due to family that I was visiting who all eat a lot of fresh vegetables. I tried to make good choices on my days where I was driving but that was so-so.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16, Thursday – Last leg of my trip home, long smoky drive from mid Alberta to Kootenays in BC. At one point had one-lane traffic because of fire near the road but overall just hot with smoky haze.
8/17, Friday – 160.2 Did not gain in my couple of weeks away!! Headache and dead tired from all the driving so will take it easy for a couple of days but stay mindful on the eating.
8/18, Saturday – 160.6 Well, did not stay very mindful on the eating, ate chocolate almond spread on corn thins for an evening “snack” – not even supposed to eat in the evening because of invisible GERD. (Called “invisible” because the discomfort from it is so minor that you can ignore it but it does affect your esophagus over the long term.) I have a stressful wedding coming up in 2+ weeks and, of course, nothing to wear that is even close to suitable. Need to get my head in the right space so it doesn’t end up in emotional eating. I can do this. Going shopping today. There are very few options around here but I thought of one so will check that out. Could sew something but that is always iffy.
8/19
8/20, Monday – 160 I don’t think I deserve this, but I will take it and try to keep it! Yesterday was definitely a zombie day with erratic eating. Always takes me awhile to get back to normal after a long trip so I’ve learned to be patient with myself, do what I can, and know that my energy will come back once I get enough rest. Shopping trip was a partial success, found a sheer overshirt in a small designer’s shop where they alter for free. Not cheap but no worse than the big chain stores.
8/21, Tuesday – 159.8 So happy with this. I have not seen this number in at least a couple of years. Hope that I’ve left the 160’s behind forever.
8/22, Wednesday – 159.2!! I wish I knew what I was doing right so I could be sure to keep on doing it. Maybe it’s payoff from all the rounds before or perhaps I’m a little more active and eating little less at meals? Haven’t made it to the gym though, so exercise would be down overall.

8/16 / 248.8 / Rolled back into my town last night. The drive from Alaska was wonderful, but obviously a lot of sitting on my kiester. I did eat to plan about 70% of the time. I figure these 3.4 pounds should come off pretty easily, and then it will be back to the grind.

Round 50

Day/Weight/Comment

8/16 — 138.2 — Got sick with what I think was food poisoning last night, still not at 100%. Scale will probably go back up tomorrow when I feel like I can eat again 🤢

8/17 — 138.8 — I was able to eat again yesterday, and actually ended up getting chipotle last night. I’ve been doiong so well eating at home and not out, so was bummed I gave into temptation. However, after after the night I had before I gave myself a pass. Back to being hydrated and I’m shocked the scale didn’t go up more than it did. Pretty happy overall. 😊

8/18 — 138.4 — I really tried to focus on drinking tons of water today. Stayed under my calories for the day, but generally had a lazy day at home. 🙃

8/19 — 138.8 — Kept my calories in my normal range yesterday, going out to lunch and to a concert today so will try my hardest to make good decisions while I’m out.. 😬 wish me luck, haha. On a side note: I am loving this challenge, it makes it easy and fun to keep myself accountable. Thank you 🙏🏼 to the person who thought of this great idea💡!

8/20 — No weigh in — I did okay yesterday besides having 4 glasses of wine through the day and night. Feel bloated today, but didn’t go too over my calorie limits. Today was my first day back to school so I completely forgot to weigh myself since the schedule change!

8/21 — 138.6 — Focusing I’m staying under calories and drinking tons of water, plenty of time to reach my goal of 138 by the 25th! Staying positive ☺️

8/22 — 139.0 — I ate within my calories so not sure where the extra weight is coming from, feel alittle bloated so might be TOM coming up and fluid retention. We shall see! 🤪

Unbelievable.
I can’t quite remember my lowest weight over the years when I dieted, but I know I’ve never gotten below 160 in my adult life.

0.3 to go until I’m in the 150’s, which I plan to be in for the rest of my life. A slow, long journey (on purpose), but so worth it, as I’ve developed so many micro habits gradually.

The key for me: I wasn’t addicted to food; I was addicted to eating out. It took me about 18 months to g r a d u a l l y reduce that to 2 times a week & 22 months to kick it completely. Then the weight really began to drop off.

8/22 161 Trend wt: 160.5 Loss/wk: 1.1
I couldn’t figure out why I was chasing hunger all day. Ended up taking a girlfriend out to lunch, telling myself “I must need calories” LOL Oh, my trickster mind! I tracked & stayed under calories, but sodium was 1840mg (high for me), thus the water gain.

Thanks to @cmriverside who resurrected an old veggie/fruit challenge, I realized my goal of 8-10 3oz servings of fruit/veg had gradually decreased. That’s why I’ve been hungry, I think.
Ever onwards as we notice, create solutions, and practice them. Ever vigilant & committed.

About me: 61, 5'7", in maintenance since March this year. Serial loser and regainer of 20 and determined not to slide back up this time.

Round 49 report = Start = 126.4 * Ave = 127.4 * Min = 125.6 * Max = 129.2 < and that was scary.
Round 50 GOAL = Maintain weight edging back down from the high part of my zone by getting workouts back in the mix.

8/16 - 127.0 - Yesterday under maintenance calories, clear enough after work to run; so I settled for am introductory 2 miles, then discovered I had the wrong key and ran 1.5 more.
8/17 - 128.4 - Yesterday not a day of power.
8/18 - 128.0
8/19 - 128.8
8/20 - 127.6 - I keep missing days, both here and in logging. I am lucky I have not gained more. Smoke in the valley is significant, headache pain, fighting with a new pillow that's increased neck and shoulder pain. Too beat up for self-care, that's the conundrum. Back at it today. Yesterday made myself do a large canning project in spite of migraine. Garden waits for no one. So at least I was on my feet and active much of the day.
8/21 - 128.4 - Logged yesterday, slightly over maintenance calories, worked standing up all day yesterday (standing workstation helps with head-neck-shoulder pain), and got a small workout yesterday on elliptical. Calf really tight when running, but didn't go into spasms.

8/22 - 129.8 - NOPE NOPE NOPE. Okay, this is how close I had to get to the top of my maintenance range (130!!) before calling a halt. Somehow in the morning, using discretion about food seems like a good idea, but I have definitely been self-medicating for stress, neck and shoulder pain, anxiety, or sleeplessness (take your pick, excuse of the day) with food. Problem is: IT. DOESN'T. WORK. So far today, healthier choices.

Round 47 - SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5 lbs)
Round 48 - SW 152.5 EW 150 (-2.5 lbs)
Round 49 - SW 150 EW 147 (-3 lbs)

5 '-1"

8/16 - 147. Post and run today, but I'll be back later tonight to read all of the posts ahead of mine. I started SL 5x5 this week with the tiniest amount of weight on my barbell and did my second session last night. Looking forward to getting stronger and adding more weight to my lifts.
8/17 - 146. Happy to see the lower number, I can get back into most of my big clothes now and am wearing a pair of jeans today that I haven't worn in a year. Oops, I'd even outgrown my larger sizes there for a bit! The clothes that currently fit me are the hardest worn, it's the size that I never want to shop. I bought 5 pairs of even larger pants near the beginning of round 47 (round 1 for me) and now they are all loose.
8/18 - 147. Quick weigh in the morning, then away from computer and scale for the weekend. Lovely day at the lake.
8/19 -147. Away from scale and computer. Visited my parents' house and my city pup forgot everything he'd ever learned about acting civilized. He ran, he barked, he lunged at birds, and rolled in smelly stuff. He ate a shrew, a plum (complete with pit) and who knows what else that he found on the ground. Normally, being at mom's house equates with lots of mindless snacking for me. I guess the pup took on that role for me this time! Haha.
8/20 - 147. This number is starting to feel familiar. Counting it as a victory to be out of town for the weekend, not feel deprived, and not gain.
8/21 - 146. Let's see if it sticks this time!
8/22 - 147. Instead of focusing on that, I'll focus on this the fact that I've hit my step goal for the entire round, I did not overeat yesterday and these fun pictures of my dog discovering and LOVING motion activated sprinklers:
