Autumn Winter 2018 to Spring 2019 Challenge

tiabirdie56

My name is Tish
Challenge Starting Weight ~ 177.2
Challenge Goal Weight ~167 - 1/2 pound per week

November 20, 2018 ~ 177.2 - 42 lbs left to reach my ultimate goal. It was 40 lbs on Nov. 9th when 175 appeared, then was rudely replaced by 177. Lol. This number loves me.

11/27 ~ 178.8 - Been doing everything I should not the last 5 days; eating late in the day (8pm) eating bread, no electrolytes. One last croissant beckoning me today😊 and hopefully
it's over.

11/30 - 178.2 - Lol. Looks like I lost weight. Not. I prefer Wednesday's weight, 174.8😅 but obviously not that much since I ate pretzels last night. Keto carb havoc!
December 4 - 😒 178.8 - That's rough , but better than yesterday. I think I should post daily weights for December.
12/11 - 176.6 - Forgot it was weigh in day. By no means was this a linear loss. I was December 4 weight again yesterday!

12/14 - 175.4 - Gotta post my own good report. I almost don't believe it. I was this weight once or twice during my traverse up and down the 170's since September! Praying it continues downward. I'm more than ready to be OUT of this decade! Doing EVERY THING RIGHT.

12/18 - 176.2 - My mac and cheese😁

Challenge #1 ~ Sleep

10h! - Tuesday (8:30pm) Don't know why I was so sleepy, but obviously needed the rest.
7h - Wednesday (1am)
9h - Thursday (10:30pm)
6h30m ~ Friday 11/23 (11:40pm)
6h30m ~ Saturday 11/24 (12:30am)
7h20m ~ Sunday 11/25 (11:40pm)
7h30m ~ Monday 11/26 (11:45pm)
4h19m ~ Tuesday 11/27 (11:55pm) Woke up at 7:14am - active mind, restless night
8h30m ~ Wednesday 11/28 (10:30pm) Magnesium oil!
7h30m ~ Thursday 11/29 (11:30pm)

Challenge #2 ~ Water

11/30 - 96.9ozs, +39ozs other fluids
12/1 - 68 ozs, +18ozs other fluids
12/2 - 112ozs, +36ozs other fluids
12/3 - 112 ozs, +36ozs other fluids
12/4 - 128.9 ozs, +41ozs other fluids.
12/5 - 144 ozs, +62ozs other fluids
12/6 - 112oz, +60ozs other fluids

●Totals:
▪773.8 ounces of water
▪292 ounces other fluids
■1,065.8 ounces of fluids
Averaged 152 ounces of fluid a day! I DO drink a lot of water, but I think my normal average per day is probably around 80- 90 ounces. Cold weather and slight cold and sore throat was the driving force behind that number.

I keep my daily water totals here

Challenge #3 ~ Breathe /deep breathing

12/7 - Probably not even 1 minute, but I did it.
12/8 - 3 minutes, holding breathe for a count of 10. Every time I retrain for deep breathing, I notice that I yawn a LOT. I'll add on to tomorrow's post if I do another session tonight.
12/9 - 4 min
12/10 - 2 min
12/11 - 5 min
12/12 - 3 min, twice
12/13 - 5 min
I always breathe through my nose, just need to focus on breathing deeper for longer each day.

Challenge #4 ~ Cardio

12/14 - Raked leaves, yard cleanup for 60 minutes.

12/15 - 18 mins of the HIIT boxing workout including warmup. Did as much as I could without a compression sleeve for my knee.

12/16 - little bit of walking, not enough to call it exercise

12/17 - knee said no way to exercise and I was tired

12/18 - 60 min low impact boxing, step aerobics, dance. 20 min dumbbell workout and stretch later

tiabirdie56

@eatingfoodles and @DebCountsAll, Sorry to hear you have one of these crazy type of colds that's been going around. Cough seems to last forever. Upside is that your weights are down! Good job!

@deepwoodslady, I'm so glad that you are getting your exercise in a fun way! Its a great way to incorporate some calorie burning movement in your daily grind.
Dancing is how I would get in some exercise when my grands were with me every day. They love dancing😄

@MadisonMolly2017, A new low weight for you too! Congrats! I love that you are changing up your exercise a little! It's always good for boosting a loss. I like Zumba, but my knee won't allow me to keep up in a class full of young people. If it wasn't for that I'd show'em a thing or two. Lol. I did a Zumba Gold workout on youtube too 3 weeks ago. Really enjoyed it.

@GrandmaJackie, You don't have to worry about looking awkward in any aerobics class. It takes time to learn the steps. Zumba is different though. Unless you go to the same instructor all the time, you don't know what the moves will be. Just do what you can and have fun! You'll burn plenty of calories. When my friend held her breast cancer event, there was a Zumba Gold instructor there. She gave 3 twenty minute classes. I participated in one and encouraged some standers by to join in. They had PLENTY of excuses. Oh, I can't keep up, I don't know the moves, I have a bad knee. I told the lady with the knee, I have a troublesome knee too and I'm gonna do this workout until I can't. Just modify! They all joined in. We had fun. No worries at all with YouTube workouts, it's just you and the tv! Burn those kcals!

@Cloverdoll, You are doing fantastic with your weight loss! I hope that your doctor will acknowledge the hard work you put in to achieve your loss thus far.

tiabirdie56

@NuggetBrain and @reflectionofme, Nice losses for you both this week. Great job! This is a rough time of year to achieve a loss in weight and you're doing it! Congrats!

@pioneerrose, Welcome to the challenge! I love your personal challenge. Speaking to people that you don't know is a very thoughtful thing to do. Sometimes it's just a few kind and friendly spoken words that can make someone's entire day. Too much self-centeredness in the world today.

pioneerrose

I find myself stepping in the scale every time I walk on the bathroom. I am getting discouraged with the constant change of weight. I’ve even hidden the scale in the cubbard but still pull it out almost every time. 😡

tiabirdie56

@pioneerrose, Please don't become discouraged over scale weight. Weight fluctuates all day long. We eat, drink, eliminate. All change the number on the scale. Salt makes us hold onto extra fluid, not enough potassium makes you hold onto fluid. Some of us ME! can have up to 4 or 5lbs of fluid retention at any given time. I don't like it, but I don't worry about it. I was not a fan of daily weighing, it was discouraging to me also. I've been weighing daily for almost a year now and have learned a lot more about what can cause my "gains" Take your body measurements once a month and compare. Pay more attention to how your clothes are fitting and shoes! Take a picture of yourself every few weeks also. You'd be surprised at the subtle changes that you do not notice in the mirror!

MadisonMolly2017

@pioneerrose I agree with Tish. The daily up’s and down’s give us valuable info AND masked it harder for us to lose track of our goals.

I used to do what you’re doing, but I set two rules for myself 1) No weighing after 9:30 AM, 2) No weighing with clothes on. So, if I’m tempted to weigh again, I have to take the effort to remove them & then get dressed again.

GrandmaJackie

@tiabirdie56, ohhh no hope you feel better, . Sometimes I wake up having body parts ache, that didn’t ache going to bed, lol. The pool and I have become goooooood friends, 😉

@GrandmaJackie, Thank you. I do feel better today. Oh yes, pool workouts are the best! I feel like I am in the WORST muscular condition of my life. I really need to concentrate on strength training more than cardio right now.

GrandmaJackie

@tiabirdie56, I hear you honey, I went to a Body Works Class yesterday. Parts of it was extremely hard but the key I did my best, thanks for having strength this week,

jenn990205

My name is Jenn I have 5 kids (1st one just left for college this year and another one that will be leaving next year). I am 39 and married to an amazing man. I work full time and have very little time to work out. Hopefully once the younger kids 10 and 13 get a little older, I will have more time. Right now I focus on eating right and maybe two to three times a week getting 45 minutes or so of cardio.

Beginning Weight ~ 175-178
Challenge Starting Weight ~ 155.3
Challenge Goal Weight ~ 135
My weigh in days will be Friday (these are usually my lowest weights, lol)


November 20, 2018 ~ 155.3
11/23 ~ 157.8 day after Thanksgiving uugggh
11/30 ~ 153.8 that looks better
December 7 ~ 152.3 I thought this week I would have been lower. Did really well. Not a drop of alcohol, clean eating, lots of water, and everything. I just don't think my body can lose 2 pounds a week no matter what. I am getting closer to my goal weight, so maybe that's why to. I am proud that I stuck to my plan this week and am down 1.5 pounds, so I'll take it!
12/14 ~ 151.1 Going in the right direction for sure. Hopefully we can keep this pattern going!
12/21 ~ 152.8 And I am back up again,lol. I'm holding on for dear life for December. I am still down 1 pound this month and that maybe all I get.

@jenn990205, What an inspiration, raising a family, 5 children, working full time and making time to workout.

jenn990205

@GrandmaJackie Thanks, to be honest I haven't made it to the gym once in the last couple of weeks. But holding on, so that's all I can do. Lol, I thought it would get easier as the kids started to leave home and stuff, but I am quickly finding out that it's not. They seem to still constantly need me, just differently now. We also just found out the one graduating this year is contemplating staying home and going to school here in town. So we will see what happens with that.

My name is Tish
Challenge Starting Weight ~ 177.2
Challenge Goal Weight ~167 - 1/2 pound per week

November 20, 2018 ~ 177.2 - 42 lbs left to reach my ultimate goal. It was 40 lbs on Nov. 9th when 175 appeared, then was rudely replaced by 177. Lol. This number loves me.

11/27 ~ 178.8 - Been doing everything I should not the last 5 days; eating late in the day (8pm) eating bread, no electrolytes. One last croissant beckoning me today😊 and hopefully
it's over.

11/30 - 178.2 - Lol. Looks like I lost weight. Not. I prefer Wednesday's weight, 174.8😅 but obviously not that much since I ate pretzels last night. Keto carb havoc!
December 4 - 😒 178.8 - That's rough , but better than yesterday. I think I should post daily weights for December.
12/11 - 176.6 - Forgot it was weigh in day. By no means was this a linear loss. I was December 4 weight again yesterday!

12/14 - 175.4 - Gotta post my own good report. I almost don't believe it. I was this weight once or twice during my traverse up and down the 170's since September! Praying it continues downward. I'm more than ready to be OUT of this decade! Doing EVERY THING RIGHT.

12/18 - 176.2 - My mac and cheese😁

12/25 - 174.8 - Eating carbs, up and down a smaller range of weights this past week.

Thank goodness Tish mentioned being able to break the cardio up into segments. Even with all my shopping, running and working I have been able to fit in 3 10 minute segments per day of aerobic dancing. All it takes is 2 to 3 songs and it's fun!

Sorry the last few days has been crazy, my healthy eating didn’t happen. So I’m hoping to lose the holiday weight before the first of the year, focusing more is the key,
