JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 72

brittblackm

OSW: 151
UGW: 135

I had my daughter 2 years ago and had been hanging around 145 every since (pre-baby weight was 135)... went back to work this year and gained 6 lbs in 6 months... it's not a lot but I'm trying to get ahead of this because putting on 6 lbs every 6 months will start to add up! Have not successfully dieted or consistently exercised since baby, so the mindset is the hardest for me right now, I tend to give up after a day or so...

32th Round for me: Female 66, height 5’
Goal this round, starting March 23: I will be away for half of this round and then for the next 3 weeks. I thought I would start the round to keep me on track till I leave. It will be a very busy trip with not much eating out so I’m hoping to just watch portions, not overcompensate for missed meals/odd meals because of travel. I am collected a stock of healthy snacks. Other goal is to keep up my movement and water.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 – 160.8
03/25 – 160.2 – Yesterday counted calories which kept me from over eating. Sundays tend to be a problem because meals are more random and then I don’t “feel” like I’ve eaten much when actually I have. Today off to the gym and then working away at my to-do list for going away. Have to empty my office so DH can redo the floor when I’m gone. It’s coming along but oh, my, what a lot of papers.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/23 …..189.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

03/24 ….. 188.0….. I had so much paperwork to do / catch up on when I got home. Not much movement/just more & more sitting but following WOE well. I handled cravings after travel surprisingly well. Yesterdays stats: 1069 Calories In / 2049 Calories Out. 12 Net Carbs. 8,199 Total Steps & 3.48 Total Miles. IF 12:12. Had 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 21 minutes. My only exercise was 10 minutes on elliptical. Today is my busiest work day (all the check-outs after the weekend here at the motel & cabins). I will easily get my steps in. Tonight I will have a movie night with my son. He & his Autism is the whole reason I have stayed in this barren & unforgiving town. I miss living closer to the city life! I’ve been here 21 years now. When I first moved here I had my mother, many aunts & uncles & cousins that I trusted to watch my son or be an emotional support. Hey, to be a work at home mom (with this small business opportunity) allowed me to get early educational & medical intervention for him, so this whole thing was a great idea at the time & it worked! He is doing so well, all things considering. But my mother passed away 14 years ago & every single aunt & uncle have also passed. My son graduated high school almost 4 years ago. I feel like I have little reason to stay in this exact spot. Feeling trapped some days. Job doesn’t feel as rewarding as it once did. My other kids & grandkids (who have all grown up here) are married & solidly living here so it is hard to leave. I have a lot to think about in the next couple of years. What I really want to do is be out there in Vegas with @quiltingjaine . I am coming up on age 59 so I can retire soon, but property is hard to sell here because the population is so low. Trying to keep my chin up & find my way out of this mess. BTW. I own another motel & cabin operation nearby that I bought in 2008. . I bought it to place my oldest daughter in (she manages it) so she could be that work at home mom too. Have I dug myself a hole I can’t get out of? I guess time will tell. Sorry for the rant. I guess I just wanted to finish my story that I started last round. There was definitely a plan & a need when I got to this one horse town & I will forever be grateful for what it has done for my family and my son. It is a beautiful place & a kind, loving, forgiving place and it has been great to raise my children here. Thanks for listening & expressing an interest in my story via your emails . Good luck everyone on this round. If I can stay away from the city I will see some weight loss I’m sure! 2 days out of town scheduled for this round that I know of. Day Trips. I will try to stay strong.

03/25 …..188.8 ….. Wow. I can’t believe it bounced up that easily. I took my son out for lunch during our heavy work day yesterday. Carbs were just a touch higher but stayed within an acceptable level. This must be sodium or normal fluctuation. We worked hard, then enjoyed our movie night. We watched Incredibles 2 on Netflix. In LOVE with baby Jack! What an Incredible movie (sorry for the pun). The world waited a very long time for another Incredibles movie. It was worth the wait. The artwork was also phenomenal. My movie snack was sugar-free jello with 1 TBS cool whip to make me feel special (less than 2 carbs). Stats for yesterday: 1061 Calories In / 2692 calories out. 53 Net Carbs. 12,612 Total Steps & 5.34 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 14 minutes & woke up refreshed. I took a 31 minute walk but otherwise rested & enjoyed the movie. I feel pretty good about yesterday. I feel like I passed the test at the restaurant which is a HUGE NSV for me. I feel powerful today. It will be a busy day. I hope everyone enjoys their week. Thanks for the inspiration you all have given me this morning as I fast & enjoy my morning black coffee. One foot in front of the other, I can do this again today. Thanks guys!

@deepwoodslady Sounds like you're on the verge of contemplating a new chapter. If you can find a buyer (possibly your adult children who already manage the other property?), you woyld be free to pursue your own dreams in this new season of life. Maybe in a condo in a fun city. I hope you get that opportunity after so many years of selflessly giving to your family. Hugs to you.

@Hilogirl2018 Thanks so much for your kind words. Sometimes I feel trapped. Especially since my husband died. However, sometimes I feel blessed. So bittersweet. I am going to TRUST and have FAITH that my path will become clear & the doors will open exactly when they should. Thanks for lifting my spirits!

Day/Weight/Comment

3/24 - 174.8 (FR) - 44g carbs, 36g net carbs. Carbs were: CRACKERS!, dill pickle, olives, celery in tuna, peanut butter, eggs. Yesterday was my last day of the 2 week 12/12 IF protocol. I will do it again if I think it's necessary, but only for one week. Week 1, I was definitely hungry at the end of the 12 hr fast. Week 2, I did not feel hungry until the 15th hour. My body was beginning to reset itself to my normal 18 to 20 hours of fasting.

3/25 - 173.8 - 29g carbs, 23g net carbs. Carbs were: eggs, strawberries, cabbage, cashews. My body is tired from my workout yesterday, but my weak lower body muscles are getting stronger. I've also been stretching my very tight IT band every day throughout the day to improve my knee. It's helping. I need my muscle roller massage stick today!

03/24 - 289.4 - I walked to church this morning and was glad I made it up the steep hill. I'm getting stronger. It still took my breath away, but the stairs up to the church posed no problem. I plan on walking in an hour for about an hour. Only 14 more pounds to my next milestone goal.
03/25 - NW - I plan to go walking later today. I always think I can't do it, then I prove myself wrong. I've been hitting my active hours as well on my Fitbit. I'm feeling more hungry today for some reason. I'm thinking of eating my snack earlier instead of later. Food is still on point.

03/24 205.5 Had barn day yesterday. Put in almost 13k steps but probably negated it with Mexican lunch and a huge margarita. Need to start daily bike riding or walking again.

03/25 DNW I was running late this morning (on purpose) and was dressed before I realized I hadn’t weighed in. Need to track, track, track to get myself back in the habit.

So back again for another one. Round 71 I went back and forth between 151 and 150. I expected a pretty good whoosh all week but never saw it. I’m just staying on track and hoping for the best next week. Hoping to finally get back into the 140’s by the end of this round.

Day Weight Comment

03/24 - 150.9 so no whoosh yet. We have our weekly family meal today so hoping for the best tomorrow. Holding steady so far through the weekend. Come on 149 something!

03/25 - 153.6 and there is my Sunday family dinner gain! 2.7 pounds, uuugggh. My husband decided he was going to grill some t-bones last night and they were amazing. We also had grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes with it Then I decided I needed a couple of mini butterfingers. So the weight is well deserved, I am assuming mostly carbs and food still in my stomach. Anytime I eat steak it stays with me for a couple of days. Had a great Sunday though and back to eating clean today. Looking for that 149 sometime this round.

Round 72 (my 2nd) Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 152.6 This makes 5.2 down since I started this challenge, and 2.8 down overnight! Now that's the week 1 whoosh I'd hoped for and never got. I exercised and ate some calories back, had my usual ice cream bar and even three squares of caramel dark chocolate yesterday! I also looked up the calories in my favorite bakery cookies and discovered to my horror that each one has over 500 calories! I used to eat several in the course of a day. Maybe I can have one occasionally on maintenance, but I am so glad I'm not blindly stuffing my face now!

I feel like tracking on MFP has revealed that holy grail of successful weight loss: moderation. I'm finally empowered to enjoy treats in moderation, guilt-free. Other big lessons so far: I must practice patience (this is all gonna go way more slowly than I'd like!), and I can't freak out when the numbers on the scale go up or plateau. It's all part of this nonlinear process.

My original goal weight for this round was 153.8, but I'm lower than that today, so I've revised the goal to be 151.8. That's only 1 lb in the next 10 days, slow and steady.
03/25 154.8 Well, it's to be expected. I may bounce up and down over the next few days. I ended the last round at 155.4, and that's probably closer to the truth. 153 still feels attainable for this round. Focusing on lots of hydration and staying in my calorie range while getting as close to my protein macros as possible.
