JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 79

Lilylady3k

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. Maxwell

My goal for 2019 is to get into ONEderland. Changing my life.
Plans:
- Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target 70k steps per week
- Drink more water (target min 64 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
- Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018)
- Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
- Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

6/1 124.5

6/2 125.0 No movement yesterday and not nearly enough water because I never left the house!
6/3 124.5 Yesterday champagne brunch at 1pm. OMAD Finally warm enough to go to water fitness today! Yay!! Then gym this afternoon with Amy.
6/4 123.5 I went to water “aerobics” and mentioned later to DH that I thought it was not properly named as my average heart rate was 95. Somewhat disappointed to see that that 45 minutes plus walking to and from the pool counted for NO active minutes! Glad I met Amy at the gym in the afternoon even though it was short. My right leg is bothering me again a little. Again OMAD, sunflower seeds in the evening.
6/5 124.0
6/6 124.5 My allergies are getting me down. Had migraine-ish headache yesterday afternoon so skipped the gym. I’m not sleeping well and just feel yuck. I can’t get on the Community boards. I get a message that I can’t connect to the server. It let me log my weight on the graph. It’s not my phone since I haven’t had a problem with any other apps or websites. I’ll try again later.
6/7 124.0 I wish I could sleep at night!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/2--207.0 It was actually weird this morning to get up and not go to the gym, I usually go today and workout on my own but since my hip is hurt my my trainer does not want me to work out by myself...I can't wait to go to PT on Tuesday and hopefully get some answers. I did go out for a short walk this morning and will go out again today, but I still need to be careful. Going to work at getting water in today.
6/3--206.7 Don't know if this weight will stick. Didn't drink much water today, I'm just hoping to hold steady with my weight until I figure out what is going on with my hip.
6/4--206.7
6/5--206.5 Went to PT yesterday. The PT said that my hip is not going to get any worse and a lot of the pain I am feeling is because I am hypersensitive to the injury since this is my first injury ever. I worked out with my trainer and included the PT exercises and my hip is feeling better already. But most importantly the worry that there's something more to my hip pain and that I may not be able to ever run/hike/bike again is now gone.
6/6--205.9 Was stressed yesterday and did some evening snacking. First time in awhile that I've done that much snacking, luckily there isn't that much snack food in the house so it could have been worse. I've been doing the PT exercises and so far so good...trainer tonight.
6/7--207.0 Not surprised about the bump up since I've been eating closer to maintenance the last couple of days. Going out for lunch today and then out to happy hour later...working to get my water in today.

@amn0619 Doesn’t it seem the blood donation place would have healthier post donation snacks?? Just sayin’

you would think! But I think they keep sugary stuff on site in case anyone feels faint. There was a man next to me who got very lightheaded and they brought him juice and cookies. I decided to enjoy my pack of nutter butters, figuring I could splurge since I just got rid of a pint of liquid

Goals

Walk 4 days a week on my lunch break

Plank daily for 4 min
Remember why I am doing this!


2-Jun... 145.8 - stayed within calorie bounds, family emergency - not much exercise

- planked 2 min and 4 push ups
4-Jun... 145.0 - stayed under 1300, but did have tacos & chips & guac! Got in a good quick 2.5 mile walk at lunch, my arms/shoulders are so sore from yesterday. No pushups or planks.
5-Jun... 146.2 - I feel a bit bloated this morning and going to focus on drinking lots of water today. Working thru lunch so no walk. Crazy busy day, took 3 horses to a barrel race in the evening so I skipped dinner. No walk at lunch but total calories for the day were 632.
6-Jun... 145.4 - Holy Moly - I think I ate as much today as I generally do in 2 days - calories hit 2400. We had company for dinner and it was insanely good. Tomorrow I'll be back on track.
7-Jun... 145.8 - I swear I felt like I gained 5 lbs after dinner last night, so I was relieved to still be at 145 this morning. Lots of water, walk at lunch and staying under 1200 calories today. Let the wknd detox begin!

06/05 …..195.2 ….. This was a very bad day for me. So busy & all grab & go. I guesstimated over 2000 calories in & over 125 Net Carbs so the gain makes sense. Other stats: 2718 Calories Out. 14,511 Total Steps & 6.14 Miles. IF: 18:6 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 7 minutes. I danced 25 minutes in my small space of boxes. Sample song: “Bad Company” by Bad Company. I am going to my DGS elementary graduation today.
06/06 …..194.7 ….. My DGS’ graduation went beautifully. I took him & all the family out of town for his choice, DQ Dairy Queen for dinner. I ate the bun, grazed the fries, skipped the soda, ate the mini sundae. Last night I made keto friendly jalapeno poppers & stayed within plan. Even with DQ my weight dropped – go figure! Sticking to plan today & I hope to get in more movement. Lots of sitting yesterday with the graduation, the travel etc. Yesterdays stats: 1692 Calories In / 2303 Calories Out. 71 Net Carbs. 10,531 Total Steps & 4.41 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 12 minutes & woke up refreshed. I did 18 minutes on my brother’s elliptical. I appreciate the nice ½ pound drop & will use it as incentive today.

06/07 …..194.7 ….. I think I may be holding water. Not drinking enough & shedding very little which is unusual for a diabetic. Weight holding steady without even a tiny drop. I will work on water today. Yesterday’s stats: 1616 Calories In / 2341 Calories Out. 10,486 Total Steps & 4.44 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & 6 hours & 9 minutes & woke up refreshed. No planned exercise yesterday but lots of general labor here at the motel & cabins. Have a great weekend everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/2 148, traveling yesterday in a car so ate within calories. but ate McDonald’s for lunch and pizza for dinner so salt was more than usual. I tweaked my neck sleeping so hopefully will feel better in the afternoon to go workout
6/3 147.5, today will be busy, but everything is prepped so should be a good day
6/4 147.6, going to mini golf after work with some colleagues. I managed to get a strength and conditioning class and 60 minutes on elliptical so hoping to be closer to my end weight of round 78 by the end of the week.
6/5 147.2, managed to be good with diet until dinner last night. Going to the opera tonight and having dinner nearby (already picked out what I’m eating). Not as sore as I usually am after a strength class so probably can fit in a 60 minute elliptical machine workout
6/6 146.5, hoping to stay as good on my diet and exercise plan through the weekend. Finally back to where I was at the end of round 78 (although I think that weight was an outlier since my moving average line is still going down at 147)
6/7 146, some days I get discouraged with how slow the weight loss process is and I feel like the number on the scale doesn’t reflect how hard I’m working. This particular challenge is good for helping through those days because I’m inspired by so many others who are trying to do the same thing I am- be healthier and stronger

06/04 332.6 I went off track for a couple of days, but I’m back on track again today. Still no tom, but I’m not worried as my mom started menopause at this age. If I still don’t get it in the next week I’ll schedule an appointment with a doctor.

06/05 330.6 Back in the right direction.

06/06 329.2 Still going down and I was mostly on track yesterday. I went way over on sodium and I’m not sure that I’ve been good with my water.

06/07 327.4 Ok, now I’m under the round start weight of this round and at the start weight of last round. The question is will I drop or bounce around the 327’s. I guess I’ll see tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Starting Smoothie Cleanse this week to get SERIOUS! Got in here a day late and am already up another 1.9. Was not good this weekend AT ALL and not going to continue going this direction!

Goals

• 5 runs and 10 walks!

Having some serious back pain. But still getting in some exercise! Walking off 150 cals. Thank God for the Smoothie Cleanse
5-Jun... 185.8...-2.4
Saw the doc.. have to ride it out. Smoothie Cleanse is working with a 5 lb loss in 2 days. Doc said last time I weighed showed I am down 28 lbs... can't believe that.
6-Jun... 183.8... -2
Smoothie Cleanse to the rescue. Down another 2 lbs for a total loss on the cleanse in 3 days to 7 lbs and down 5.4 for this JGM10 challenge. The weekend is coming and hubby is cooking A LOT of food for church and have a date with some friends on Friday. Will drink my smoothie while there, stick to fruits and veggies for munchies and bring ONE bottle of prosecco. It's my go to at 90 cals a glass so if I go overboard, it won't completely derail my success. NO MEAT, NO WINE and NO BEER... just my smoothie and the snacks allowed!
7-Jun... 183.4... -0.4
Long hours yesterday. Didn't get home until 8 PM then dishes, floors, and crawl into bed after smoothie. Idiot me drank some detox tea at almost 9 PM and couldn't fall asleep. Gotta be good tonight. Don't want to give ANY weight back.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/02: 145.7 Had been bouncing around from 145.8 to 147.x last 10 days week so happy to see a drop again. Today was my "rest" day but still did a slow routine on the elliptical using the Zone app to target HR, then lots of stretching and some ab routines. Swam a couple of laps (actually feeling better getting in a bathing suit in public) and realized that default workout app in Apple Watch does not track laps with a kick board, so looking into alternatives. Still trying to loosen up quads after the HIIT workout yesterday, so won't be surprised if weight does not go down or actually goes up tomorrow! Ate well today - dinner was grilled grouper, homemade guacamole & chips (measured to control carbs!), cabbage slaw with pumpkin seeds and rose.

06/03: 145.7 Yeah!!!! Weight did not go up - I needed that after last week's trend that looked more like a kid's version of the Rocky Mountains in profile. Plus I caved and had some more tortilla chips at 11 pm :-() In any case don't think it put me much over calorie budget! Quads felt looser after the spin class this am, but I decided to give the leg machines a rest today to let the quads recover some more and pick that up later in the week. I may switch the order and do weights for chest/upper back/arms later this evening. So far calories/macros good for the day, so hoping for a decrease for tomorrow! Half-way point is only 2.2 pounds away! So close, yet so far!

06/04: 143.7 wow - 2 lb drop!!!! Definitely a whoosh and will probably bounce back up a bit tomorrow, but will still take delight as any gain tomorrow is likely going to be water (as long as I stay in control for dinner/evening eating!) and now within 0.2 lbs of my short term goal of reaching midpoint to ultimate goal weight!!!! Went to circuit class last night rather than do weights so had a pretty intensive cardio day yesterday (total "active energy" based on Apple watch was 1220, which also includes walking, etc). Held off today on weights for legs, and just focused on arms/upper body this am. Less intensive cardio so far so may try to work in a short HIIT session on the spin bike before pilates later on.

06/05: 143.6 OK it is a small drop and holding steady after the whoosh, but really expected it to go up!!! Extremely happy that I am within 0.1 lbs of my midpoint weight!!!! Particularly thrilled since I had pasta (half of the size that I use to eat, but still satisfying - radiatore with fresh tomatoes, shrimp, olive oil, garlic and basil) so was wondering if higher carbs would lead to more water retention. Macros were all within usual bounds, with just more carbs at dinner, so not really an excess of carbs. Now last week I did have a 1+ lb increase after having carbs + heavy leg weight training, as well as the day when I had heavy leg weight training and no pasta/lower carbs so it might suggest that my weight is more sensitive to the weight training than variations in carb sources (most days carbs are vegetables/fruits/dairy sources). Today I had heavy leg weight training (but lower carbs for the day), so will be interested in weight tomorrow. Prediction right now is that it will increase. Will continue to collect the data as it is difficult to generalize based on small amounts of data!

06/06: 144.2 Went up as I had expected might be the case. Seems to be a response with the heavy weight training for legs, as was within calorie goals (well as close as I can be and did weigh the salmon and other items yesterday as well as prepare all of my own food). Even though weight went up by 0.6, I am still down 2.8 lbs over the last 7 days, so actually above my goal of 1-2 lbs a week. It will even out, but impatient to get to my midpoint weight! Needed to hook bra on middle set of hooks today (first drop there since February) so at least the clothes indicate improvement! Primarily cardio today - step class and may do tabata later and some weights for upper body. Need to work more on upper body strength as not as strong there as with legs.

06/07: 144.2 Holding steady, but still a reasonable drop for the week and figure it will go back down. Spin class for 45 minutes and flexibility/light weights this morning. Today was the kids last day of school so went out for lunch and ordered a beet salad with greens and grilled shrimp. Shrimp were fine, but the salad was soaked in a too sour balsamic vinaigrette that I just couldn't eat - so disappointed. The arugula salad on the kids avocado toast was slightly better but still too vinegary for my taste. Tonight kids have a sleep over so we are going out to our favorite sushi restaurant. Will probably order the omakase and have wine, so may see a bump up tomorrow but need a break after the lunch today! (will skip the dessert likely)

jenn990205

I’m ready for June and to get going on another round. I have absolutely no plans of traveling or taking time off of work in this round, so hoping to make some progress and see a new low! Would love to finally see that ever allusive 145.xxx!



06/2 - 148.7 same as yesterday which means I did well on a Saturday. Need to make some progress this month so I am really going to try and be good.

06/3 - 148.7 yeah!! Stayed the same through the weekend. On track today so far and hoping to see 147 something tomorrow. My daughter turns 17 today officially so we are doing enchiladas and cheesecake for dinner. Saving all my calories today for tonight and may only have a bite of the dessert. I am also doing my enchiladas without tortillas so that should save me on some of the carbs.

06/4 - 148.7 Still (4th day in a row), WTH! Stuck to my plan for dinner. I did my enchiladas over a bed of lettuce while everybody else had normal ones and I only had 3 bites of cheesecake without chocolate or caramel sauce versus an entire piece. Did well with water and no alcohol.

06/5 - 147.7 Finally some movement on the scale and luckily it's in the right direction! Staying on track and hoping for the best this month. I am 1.2 pounds away from my lowest weight last month (146.5), so waiting to see if I can make it back there this round. I ate a banana this morning for breakfast because I was running late and almost fell over when I entered it and found out how many carbs and calories there are in them. Guess I won't be grabbing that on the go anymore, should have taken the green apple. Oh well, lesson learned.

06/6 - 147.7 Well I can say this has probably been the most consistent round I have ever had. My hubby picked me up from work for a surprise lunch today and I am happy to say I did not blow the entire day. I had a burger wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun and a side salad instead of fries at Red Robin. It was not as good as the alternative, but I am really trying to break through this plateau I have been on. I have been super good, so I did what I needed to do. Hopefully I can see a pretty good drop soon. I have started tracking my steps as of yesterday too, so I am working up to 10,000 steps a day.

06/7 - 147.1 My scale couldn't really decide what it wanted to settle on. So I picked the middle number. It went from 147.7 all the way down to 146.8 and then 147.1. After my husband surprised me with lunch yesterday, he then decided he wanted sushi for dinner (my favorite but a killer on my sodium level). For some reason he really thinks he likes it, but decides every time he doesn't, so it's a rare occasion we ever eat it. He is so funny some times, he was in a weird mood all day yesterday. On track today with food/water and working on my step count. I didn't realize how hard it would be to get 10,000 steps a day as an accountant, but I'm trying. Today during a 15 minute conference call, I did laps in my office around my desk and chair. I ended up making a little obstacle course yesterday with different things in my office to get some extra steps. Yesterday I ended with just over 7,000, so my goal is to get at least 7, 500 - 8,000 today. I have to find creative ways to move and walk when I work at a computer for 8-9 hours a day.

Day - Weight - Comment
06/02 - 136.1 (-0.7) - still expect fluctuations. I am feeling bloated and retaining water. TOM weight should shed in a few days or so. Food was healthy and within cals, exercise cardio (lots of it) and strength training, 16 glasses of water. Staying on track regardless of the scale. My body shows a lot of changes even though the scale doesn’t reflect them.
06/03 - 136.3 (+0.2) - Drop any day now🤞🏻
06/04 - 136.1 (-0.2) - nice little drop but hopefully I see a bigger drop soon.
06/05 - 135.4 (-0.7) - lots of cardio the last few days and TOM is over so finally a good drop! Hopefully it sticks and I can continue the trend for the rest of the round.
06/06 - 136.6 (+1.2) - very sore today and ate later than normal. DOMS. Slow and steady is the name of the game these days. Still have a decent loss per week which I work out to about .8lbs. Being so close to goal it has been a bit of an adjustment learning to deal with smaller losses but it’s still moving in the right direction.
06/07 - 137.5 (+0.9) - extremely bloated. Not sure why but definitely a contributing factor.

Joining a bit late this round, but I know better than to wait to start until the next one!!


Hi. My name is Trina. I started this challenge round 54, was pretty consistent, and then got lost somewhere mid Round 74. The scale slowed down a bit, but now I think I am on the move again. I am now 6-8 pounds till goal weight, and hoping to get there in the next couple of months. Trying to keep focused on losing, while also looking ahead to maintenance. I've been feeling great, and feeling great exercising, and not feeling food restricted, so all of those things are good! Let's all have a wonderful 10 days of making great choices!!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
