Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 129

Most of the round is my maintenance week, so still gunning for the goal that was last round's goal. Don't think I was too far off it last round, but the final day was a high weigh in due to takeaway the night before.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 - 72.7 - Weird day at work yesterday. TW: Men being inappropriate at work:One of the guys I work with turned up to a group social (online) chat just not wearing a shirt. I know it was just a social call, and we're normally fairly relaxed about dress codes (dressing gown and onesies have been a thing before), but that definitely crosses the line. It made me feel really quite uncomfortable, a kinda put a downer on the rest of my day. It also didn't help that I don't particularly like this guy (because he's a massive tool). Managed to set off all my anxiety and social triggers and really put me out for the rest of the day (and screwed getting some work done afterwards). Spoke to HR last night and feeling much better this morning.Because of that, food wasn't top of my brainspace yesterday. But ended up with a very small deficit for the day. Was really tired and got an early night, so had a much lower expenditure than I normally would. And I think I ended up not having much to drink yesterday evening as I woke up this morning feeling very dehydrated (makes my abs pop though lol). Overall happy with my weight, expecting it to go down a little bit again tomorrow
10/15 - 72.2 - Just over yesterday, countered by the day before's just under. So maintenance is going fine right now. Happy with that weight, hoping it's going to stop bouncing around at some point and stay a little more consistent day by day, but I think that's just me being hopeful. Besides it was only last week I was complaining about getting the same number for several days in a row. It appears I'm never happy. Today I'm WFH and we have our digital teambuilding (read wine drinking time), so I'm expecting to be a little over there, however I'm also expecting to do some physical work as we've got some stuff to take to the tip today, so hopefully I'll get enough exercise to make it work out about even.
10/16 - 71.8 - Wasn't expecting that. Almost certainly massively dehydrated from the wine yesterday. Although didn't drink nearly as much as I used to. I think my tolerance has dropped enormously (not that it ever was that high), probably due to the fact that I don't really drink that much anymore. Food about level, drink pushed it up over somewhat. And I am HUNGRY today. Right now I'm pondering if it's acceptable to nip to the cafe up the road for lunch. They do an excellent fry up. But I really do not have the calories for that, so lunch will be lunch at home. I might be in maintenance week, but that does not give me licence to go away and eat all of the things.
10/17 -72.1
10/18 - 72.1
10/19 - 72.4 - Well, that's my maintenance week over. Over calories for the week by around 250kcals, which, while not great, isn't really that bad. Especially considering that around 500 of those were alcohol related because we had our company teambuilding, so I'm not overly upset by it. As is standard practice, the weekend was a great calories wise. Judo on Saturday followed by a dog that needed walking and a long walk out with the family on Sunday gave me a huge amount of calories for those days, (which is how I managed to only be 250 over for the week considering the couple of heavily over days I had midweek). Proud of myself for yesterday as I managed to stop eating food twice because I wasn't hungry any more. Both brunch and dinner I didn't eat everything because I wasn't really hungry any more. Back to the grind today, although we do have a late judo session, so I'll be working out hard today as well. Should give me the calories to keep to the deficit for the rest of the week. And I've got already logged left overs for breakfast this morning, so I'm expecting today to look very low in the diary.
10/20 - 72.4 - As expected, a pretty good day yesterday. Well under calories for the day, and a nice hard judo session. It should be giving me a nice bank for the rest of the week as I always find weekdays much harder than weekends. Tummy's feeling a little off this last couple of days so I'm thinking I might be switching food to a few more plainer meals and probably cutting back on the milk based product for a few days to hopefully settle it. I say as I then have yoghurt in my breakfast shake this morning.
10/21- 72.7 - There I am, carefully meal planning for the rest of the week, going to the shops after work and buying only what is on my list (seriously this is really hard for me, I'm a terrible over-buyer). Carefully sorting it out so that calories are balance going through the week. And then I get home to find OH cooking a roast for dinner. I mean, I'm not complaining (I mean I am a little), but I had JUST bought food for the week. I had planned a really calorie balanced meal for the evening. All of that went out the window of course because had he logged any of those calories. Did he F-. No, he just made it, didn't worry about calories and then I ate it. DAMN IT!! I really struggle to restrict myself when it comes to food that he's made. Mostly because it's also really gooooood. Logged calories as best I could. Somehow it doesn't look that bad, even with the huge quantity of oil I added (I'd like to imagine that it was less that that, but it probably wasn't *sob*). Day has probably ended up around level, which isn't awful. Every day level is another day not over, which is where I was before soooooo. Oh I don't know, I've been really trying to kick myself back in to planning meals in advanced and having a sensible food plan and things like this really really do not help.

I find that my body does this too when I hike. But as long as I don't go overboard with the eating afterwards, it will drop in the next day or two. Sadly, for me at least, it's really easy to go overboard with the eating because I know I've burned all those calories. Where did you hike?2 -

Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days10/14 112.7 This will probably go up because I splurged on Chinese food for dinner. I was so exhausted tonight from moving for three days, work being busy this week and TOM. Now that I do have more control over what we’re eating for dinner, this Chinese food won’t set me back as much as it would have when living with my in-laws. Frankly, I feel like I need a night like this every so often to keep me sane and not as crazy about food. Have a good rest of your night!
10/15 113.2 Did not post
10/16 (113.4) Haven’t weighed yet today. Food was good yesterday. I had left over cous cous, pork tenderloin, and then a giant apple with peanut butter for my breakfast. Then, a plum for a snack and dinner was homemade leek, potato, and kohlrabi soup. It was a pureed soup base (leek, onion, and potato) and then I added fresh csa corn from the cob to, fresh diced carrots, shredded CSA greens (I think they were collards or broccoli rabe, not completely sure), green beans and chicken thighs to give some texture and color. We also had salad and a roll with it. Yum! It reminded me of chicken pot pie but a lot lighter. Left over soup will be dinner tonight or maybe lunch. I’m not sure yet about that. Hoping for today to be a little less crazy with work. We are settling in to our new apartment and will be hanging up our pictures this weekend, which will make it feel a little bit more cozy.
10/17 113.0 Not too much on the agenda for today. I think we’ll be hanging curtains and a couple other things. We plan on getting Thai for lunch, just to try out the restaurant and then not get takeout for a while after today. I’m cool with that and looking forward to masaman curry with sticky rice. I plan on using our portable sauna thing later today, so helpfully that will help with some of the excessive water retention from salty Thai food. I’ll have a peanut butter and apple for breakfast, Thai for lunch and something light for dinner. My body is just tired from the events this past week and being in a new place, so I’m looking forward to this low key weekend. I was light headed this morning so I’m going to refrain from exercise today at least and take it as a sign I should take it easy. Have a happy Saturday everyone!
10/18 Didn’t weigh this morning, didn’t bother to see the Thai food water retention. Yesterday was a nice day getting settled. Hanging the curtains were a success and made a huge difference for sleeping last night! Today has been productive with hanging some canvases on the walls. Of course, one piece of a canvas set doesn’t want to stay on the wall with the Command hangers. 5 out of 6 have stayed up along with two pictures using the picture frame Command stickies. Oh well, I have re-alcohol swabbed the wall where the canvas fell from and will reinforce it with another hanger even though the other piece is doing fine with one hanger. There’s always one in the bunch that’s a pain, isn’t there?
I had oatmeal for breakfast with added oat fiber powder, inulin, and then added raisins, peanut butter, maple syrup, butter, a dash of salt, ½ an apple, and pumpkin spice seasoning. It was so yummy and the little touch of butter added so much flavor and tied everything together! I have chili in the croc pot simmering away with a combo of ground pork and ground beef and a whole concoction of different spices. This recipe calls for cinnamon and I love the depth of flavor the cinnamon adds to it. I’m looking forward to having that on top of pasta tonight. I can’t decide yet if I want to use brown rice pasta or black bean pasta. I’m leaning towards black bean pasta for fiber and more protein.
10/19 113.2 Woohoo! The Thai food didn’t stick like it normally does 😊. I plan on doing a spin bike workout today at some point. My plan was to do it this morning, but my husband has a busy day and asked if I could do it later, so he could try to sleep longer. So, my goal is to do a workout later in the day, which is typically a challenge for me because I get into a groove of my other things for the day. I think dinner tonight will be left over chili, or that may be breakfast. Once again, I’m undecided. Breakfast might be a chocolate protein cake. That chocolate craving is starting to come around again, so I might nip it with the protein cake recipe. If anyone is interested I’m happy to share it!
10/20 114 Food was pretty good yesterday, we did end up having baked chicken fingers for dinner last night but I was aware of my portions and had a salad with it to add some veg to my dinner. I managed to do the spin bike yesterday as well, so that was good! I hope you all have a good day!
10/21 Haven’t weighed yet. Not having an even floor in the bathroom makes it a touch more challenging to weigh every day. Oh well. Food was pretty good yesterday. I made an apple protein cake for breakfast, had an apple for a snack, and chili with roasted veggies for dinner (new potatoes, radishes, green beans and Hakurei turnips). I was still hungry before heading to bed, so I finished up the rest of the roasted turnips and radishes because my husband didn’t have any of the roasted veggies.
I plan on doing another lunch time spin bike workout. I really enjoyed that on Monday because it helped break the day up a bit. I’ll put it on my calendar, so I don’t forget. Have a good day everyone!

Round 129 starts off with a day of restaurant dining for early Anniversary (10/15). Something not faced in prior rounds. Should be fine as I am continuing with pre-track planning the best I can. Goal for this round is to try and finish under 145.0 which translates to -1.0. 59th Birthday is coming early next round and I am pushing to be under 145.0 for that occasion. Success this round will make that likely.

Round 129 – starting weight 145.8
10/14 – 145.2 Well yesterday, I survived well enough dining out (2 days early) for 37th anniversary. Pre-planned what I was going to order and tracked it ahead as well. Did not even look at the menu. Crossed my “base” goal calories, but did not exceed base + exercise. Ironic that my weight finally moved after several days of seesaw despite eating under target and exercising.
10/15 – 145.2 Happy with the number. I’m ok with no change. (Happy 37th anniversary today to me and Hubby. Already celebrated on the 13th as Hubby has to fly/escort his mother back to Florida today)
10/16 – 145.4 always a little back and forth! :P
10/17 – 146.2 Was making Halloween goodie bags and then had a sugar melt down. A totally untracked quantity. Over and done with. Move on.
10/18 – 146.0 repairing the damage
10/19 – 145.4 Almost back to 145.2. Still trying for under 145 for the 23rd.
10/20 – 145.2 I am just being teased this round. I need to not get bothered by the short term numbers and stay focused on long term goal of better weight and health.
10/21 – 144.2 WOW! What a pleasant surprise. These are the reasons why one needs to stay focused even when it feels like nothing is happening. I’ve stayed under my calories, exercised and not eaten back their calories, every day since Oct 1 (due to another challenge). We’ll see if it holds. Trying to be under 145 on 10/23, but more importantly 10/26, my 59th birthday.

10/15 62.8kg. No gym today as its mother's day so I'm having a day off. Pleased with the loss and keeping on it!
10/16 62.70kg. Weighed later than normal. Back to 4.45am weigh in on Monday. Still making good choices and back in the gym today. Determined to stay mindful over the weekend.
10/17 62.20kg. No gym today and focus is on staying mindful. Every choice is a victory.
10/18 62.65kg. I'm ok with this gain. Was over calories yesterday but the trend is down.
10/19 63.4kg isn't great but it's still down from Monday last week. 4 days to focus on now.
10/20 63.4kg gym done and aerobics scheduled for this evening. A good day ahead!
10/21 62.7kg. Aerobics was tough last night and I was back in the gym at 5am. Going to end this round well!

10/21 - 152.3 - I had such a feast yesterday at dinner.... it was delicious but definitely stress induced. My work computer ended up crashing several months ago - took it in, they thought they solved the problem but gave me a loaner JUST in case. Not fixed, working from loaner. Well, yesterday I'm working on a report, get up for a small break to grab a snack and walk around the house only to come back to my computer crashed and overheating so bad I can't even touch it for longer than a few seconds. Now I have 2 broken work computers and work to do.... bit stressful. Does give me opportunity today to run errands and go vote early (yay avoiding lines and crowds! Fam have all gone to vote and said takes 10 minutes, in and out). Today is also the day my godson (2yrs old) starts his 3 days of appointments to be put on the transplant list for a new liver (due to PFIC) and the start of a potentially long anticipation period waiting for that call. Stressing won't help anything, but its so hard not to just a little bit. May I request prayers/positivity into the universe for my little man and all the family? Y'all are the best

Previous Day's Comments10/14 - Normal fluctuation? Not sure. Food was way off yesterday. I was super hungry so I finished my fast at about 16hrs. But dinner I couldn't tell if hungry so I had a bit to eat but then felt really full about an hour later. Still learning my body's language, so not too worried. I knew it wouldn't happen immediately and I need to be patient and forgiving with myself. I will say, not tracking and being more mindful about food in general has been super freeing. The fairly consistent weigh ins have been an added bonus. Normally I'm constantly stressed about food, monitoring everything that goes in my body, and letting food control me. Now I let my body control it all and tell me what it needs and when. I've managed one challenge, my birthday, with fasting. Great results! Without it, I'd likely still be battling the weight gain. Next up starts Friday with camping. I won't have cell or internet service so I can't really track or post. As it is my birthday gift, I'm not a part of the planning of food and such, just which trails I'd like to hike and where I'd like to see within the park. Will be interesting to see how fasting and my body will play a part in all of this. Definitely will be a learning experience (:
10/15 - Shocking since I only fasted 15.75hr yesterday - my body wanted food and nothing was stopping those hunger signals! Also, a heavy dinner consisting of homemade spaghetti, garlic toast, and a caesar salad. Finished off the bottle of wine with FamWife we opened for dinner yesterday (1 glass each both nights). Today fasted 16.5hrs and broke it with Taco Bell. Its our guilty pleasure and its 30 minutes away so not common for us -- only when we go into that town for a specific reason. Today was going to the range. I could practice with my new(ish) 9mm and the boys could zero their rifles with the new scopes in preparation for deer season. Consolidated all the camping stuff we have on hand and packed that. Just need to pack Fam's stuff (including tent, air mattress for back of truck, and their sleeping bags), go shopping for the rest (mostly food), and pack that stuff up. I'm so READY! Hoping for 12hr fasts while out there. Body isn't quite fully fat adapted to be able to hike and such while fasting, no need to push it and cause harm. Here's where patience comes in -- hopefully I can stay content with the slow changes. The test will be whether my belt stays in the smaller notch after this weekend (once it dropped, it stayed down so far). I feel so much better without the constant bloat - hoping I won't undo all that. I'll see y'all Monday!! Have a wonderful weekend, all
10/16 - Taco Bell and Frito Pie for lunch and dinner didn't destroy me! I love this! And I was really low on my water intake, too. I'm surprised that alone didn't bump me up. I was hoping to sleep up until my alarm before showering but I was too excited. Good news - it left me time to weigh and post before BF even gets up! FamWife has to work half day, so FamHubs, BF, and I are going shopping for the rest of the foodstuffs we don't have once he's up and moving. She'll then have about 3 hours on the road to work before signal loss, which should be about her half day mark. Should get us there in time to see the little art town/old army base, take the (slightly, 10 mins or so) longer, more scenic route to our campsite, and set up before dark (we have to be there by 8 but aiming for sooner so we have daylight to get camp set up). I'm so reaaaady! See y'all Monday (:

10/19 - Well that was a crazy fun weekend. My legs are a bit sore (I'm not sure how I'm not hurting more) and I'm real tired even after a good night's sleep last night, but it was worth it. Only downfall is I'm so incredibly dehydrated. My lips are cracked and bleeding, which takes forever to heal on me. Definitely pushing water. We ran out of water at the campsite unexpectedly and everything was closed by that time. Ended up getting some for the drive home but it was so hard to drink anything fast, especially since pitstops to pee weren't common. Back to fasting today - not sure how long, I'll listen to body since the whole dehydration thing probably put more stress than I'd like on it. Maybe go for a walk later, not sure yet. Aiming for an easy day but know I need to keep moving or legs will get locked up and sore, eek.
10/20 - Still working on rehydration. Yesterday was busy busy busy. The coffee shop opened Saturday while we were gone so we went to work there yesterday and I HAD to try her latte and banana nut muffins (my fave), breaking my fast super early (13hrs I think?) Today, if we go there again, I'm just getting an Americano and no muffin so I can continue fasting. Late night last night so 16hrs ends at what is normally my 18hr mark - 1:30pm - hoping to make it that long today. Did a short jog/walk to the gas station yesterday but got me enough movement the bit of soreness I have is already fading, yay! Super duper tired today so not sure about activity - maybe if I wake up more and get a little energy. My fault for staying up so late watching football. Worth it!

🏃 10/14: 158.4 I didn't really want to restrict myself on any sort of food, but maybe, just maybe, I should make an exception for processed fried foods. They never sit well despite being ever so delicous. Lmao. It is only a pound and just gives me more to lose this round. I am ready! Today is Ring Fit Adventure Day! Due to all of these fluctuations, I will wait it out another round before I consider my mini goal of 158 achieved. I'm still on cloud nine just getting into the 150s. I almost can't believe how much I've achieved in only 60 days. I know this recurring thread has played a big role, so thanks to all who maintain it!
🏃 10/15: 156.8 I had steak and green beans for dinner yesterday, so I ate much better overall, though I did have Ramen noodles for lunch. I didn't, however, get to Ring Fit. It has been too long, so I will try to exercise today.
🏃 10/16: 156.4 I instictively started typing "16" instead of "15" out of habit. Lmao. I still haven't played my fitness games, yet, but I'm glad that my numbers are still looking good while I gather the motivation to play.
🏃 10/17: 155.8 Yahoo! I was a little worried because I had chic-fil-a, but it all worked out anyway!
🏃 10/18: 155.2
🏃 10/19: 155.6 A few ounces is really nothing. However, the real problem is my inactivity. I need to exercise today for sure. It's been almost a week.
🏃 10/20: 154.8
🏃 10/21: 153.6 I am surprised by such a low number despite the lack of exercise, but I still want to play my Switch fitness games. I don't want to lose all the strength I have been building.

10/14 163.2 lbs under 1100 calories, lots of yard clean up, over 18,000 steps. Our temperatures are forcasted to continually drop from 30's down to 20's for highs in the next week. Time to winterize everything. But my back did not agree with putting all the outside furniture away and now I walk as slow as a turtle. Ugh! Getting old is not for the faint of heart.
10/15 161.4 lbs struggled with snacking and minimal exercise due to back issue. Very surprised at the loss but I did manage to keep calories under 1200 but a bunch of it was candy. I like to believe that candy sugar burns off right away unlike other foods. HaHa.
10/16 163.4 lbs Ummm.... took some neighbor friends to town for our weekly grocery shopping and we got together after and had a bit of wine which sticks to me like glue. Plus I am having family for the weekend and of course I will make to many snacks but hoping I do better sending them with them.

10/14 187.2 I feel like I have been getting a little lax with my calorie allowances. I need to find some mojo and stick to my goal for several days in order to get the results that I want. On the plus side I am still (slightly) below my trend line. Est. Cals yesterday: 1827 due to wine and chocolate, when I started back counting calories I was leaving an allowance for these treats so I didn't go over, gotta get back there mentally.
10/15 187.6
10/16 187.2
10/17 187.8 Just hanging out here.. really surprised it's not worse considering it's TOM and I've been eating a lot more treats/calories. Hopefully the hormones will settle and I can resume a more stable path.. Trend is flatlining but I'll drink a lot of water today and preplan my food.
10/18 189.4 estimated cals 1486 I am guessing this bump is due to eating sushi for lunch.. rice and salt. Hard to get the calories right too.
10/19 188.8 estimated cals 1434 ready for the scale to behave itself now..
10/20 187.8 estimated cals yesterday 1534. My foot is finally feeling better so I'm going out for a little run/walk this morning.

I know I have gained some muscle (no complaints) and today is October 12. December 1st is 7 weeks and one day away. I should be able to lose 5 and half pounds in the time frame and at least 1 more NSV. Who knows what it will be.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 I refuse to record what it said this morning.
10/15 199.3 Better but still not great. With the increased hunger I am trying the afternoon tea. Which is helping but it not great. I have been over my calorie goal (not including exercise) almost everyday for the past 2 weeks. Yesterday I was under. Where did my resolve go? She is missing replaced by this hunger monster. Drink water, eat healthy snacks, get in my walking and some planks…
10/16 198.7 TOM almost over and swelling going down. Had a good calorie day. 15000 steps Wednesday and Thursday yesterday 1564 in calories. Afternoon tea is definitely helping that monster. Plus I am eating a little more in the morning. A 450 breakfast will last longer than a 350 breakfast. I cannot skip breakfast. Favorite meal of the day.
10/17 198.4
10/18 198.7 still getting in my 15 minutes in the AM. Long walk yesterday.
10/19 198.7 doing well this weekend no change is better then uptick. Made some apple crisp this weekend. Very good no guilt.
10/20 197 This is my goal and has been been goal for a long time. I am officially overweight not obese. Let me keep the momentum going.
10/21 197.5 13355 steps 1662 calories Did not get a lot of burn during the day. However I was moving. Rain did not bother me last year because my hair was curly but now my hair is straight and I run from the rain.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
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.
Rnd 129 SW 115.5
10/14 116.5 Expected, 1/2 Greek salad with gyro meat yesterday AF
10/15 117.0 In-N-Out burger for supper last night and I ate most of the bun for the first time in over 3 years. Virtual quilt guild meeting tonight. Getting together with friends for that. AF
10/16 119.0. No TMI x 3 days! ‘Nuff said except considering dynamite! Although I ate that bun the other evening, that isn’t responsible for all of this recent gain. I ate a LOT of veggies yesterday which were about 28g of my 33g of carbs. I’m so bloated that my shorts were uncomfortable last night. Still under my goal weight and back on the rails after this odd week. It’s all good!
10/17 117.0 Some TMI success. I was so stressed yesterday all day because DH left his phone in a neighbors garage Thursday night when he was fixing her sprinkler system. He was so obsessed about getting it back but she was not home or answering her cell phone. By about 7 PM I called her again and she finally answered. She located the phone and he went and picked it up. It was not a good day for me I did not go to the gym, I don’t even remember what I ate but fortunately logged as I slogged my way through the day. He needs a man purse but refuses! Clearly I am frustrated!
10/18 118.0 Scale gave me an ERR first so may need a new battery but it’s all good. Social visit with neighbors last night. AF
10/19 116.5 AF Planning to fast tomorrow if DH’s lunch plans work out. So much easier if I don’t have to make him dinner! 🥴🤪🤞
10/20 116.5 Gym yesterday and did my PT stretches for the first time and in weeks.
10/21 115.0 35 hours into my fast. Coffee, tea, water, and 14 oz of chicken broth yesterday. Feeling good. Gym today.5 -

😡 I think this bump is water and delayed response from two days of Greek food.
10/15 - 182.4 - 1286
A little better. I drank lots of water yesterday to flush all that salt. It’s chilly and rainy this morning, and we’re supposed to have a hard freeze tonight, so when the rain stops I need to do a few outdoor garden things. One will be to collect a bouquet before the flowers freeze! 💐 Have a lovely day, all.

I need to get some high-protein breakfast foods that don’t require much morning prep time lined up. I love Bilinski turkey sausages, love eggs done almost any way. Sometimes I make my own version of egg McMuffin, but healthier. I used to make overnight muesli with egg whites and kefir — maybe I’ll make some of those. Left to my own devices, I’d eat a substantial breakfast, big late lunch, and skip dinner, which we do sometimes. Anyway, what do you eat for breakfast? I’m looking for ideas.
10/17 - 183 - 1463
That makes no sense, although my rings are tight so maybe water. Whatever. Happy Saturday, my friends!
10/18 - 182.4 - 1401
Yesterday was a good day! Writing, knitting, reading, painting kitchen-laundry room door (pretty green), goofing off. Perfect. I have an entertainment center I’m making into a pantry (not enough storage in the kitchen), so today’s the day we start on that. I’m excited to get that project done. Have a great Sunday, all!

Racing off to Mike the Cat’s annual check up!

Cold rain all day yesterday, so no walk, but I plan to get out today. I don’t know why I had ice cream last night. Broke my 1400s steak. Sigh. I’ll do better today.

I’m a 5’ 8”, 45 yo Mom of 2 young ones. The lockdown had me squeaking toward 200, so I knew I had to start taking better care of myself!

Round 129 SW: 176.1 (on 10/13/20)
10/14 - 175.3 - I was up last round, so I still have a ways to go for an overall loss, but this is in the right direction.
10/15 - 175.8 - I can feel my fingers plumped up again, so I know I have a little water retention.
10/16 - 175.9 - I can still today feel my fingers all bloated, so for some reason I am really holding onto this water.
10/17 - 175.1 - Whoosh! I finally lost that water weight! And I’m back to the starting weight of last round, so I feel better.
10/18 - 176.9 - UGH
10/19 - 175.1 - I am getting dizzy on this roller coaster
10/20 - 175.8 - It was my husband’s birthday yesterday, so there was cake and his favorite dinner. Luckily, there are no more “food events” until Thanksgiving!
10/21 - 174.7 - Okay, I'm finally heading back in the right direction!

10/14 178.8 T.O.M started today and the chocolate cravings came back full force lol Must. Resist. Temptation...
10/15 178.8 Normally the 2nd day of TOM there is a drop but I'll take staying the same over an increase.
10/16 178.8 I ate like crap yesterday. Went 300 over my calorie goal. Oops. Back on track today.
10/17 178.4 A little loss. I'll take it!
10/18 178.2 Getting closer to my round goal. I got told yesterday that I shouldn't lose any more weight. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing because I still have quite a long way to go. It was from a coworker that always seems to have a comment about everyone's weight. Annoying for sure, but for them to tell me that I'm looking great and should stop now, was kinda weird.
10/19 178.0 Well I made it to my round goal! Slow but sure. After I had my last baby in 2013 I was at 250lbs. I got down to 178 before giving up. I am excited to see that number and PASS it this time! Happy Monday!
10/20 177.2 I passed it Now to keep motivation and keep going! I ended up getting a 2nd job for Christmas money. My sleep schedule will be all over the place pretty soon. 3 nights and 2 day shifts a week. Life will be crazy until 2021... not like it hasn't been already. I'm hoping working more will help my progress.
10/21 177.4 I'm holding onto some sodium I think. My hands and feet are swollen. Hope you all have a great Wednesday!

10/14- 167.5 Not a good way to start out for sure.
10/15- 167.8 I am retaining a lot of water. This should go down in a few days, I hope.
10/16- 167.1 Going down! Its not right that I can gain 2lbs in one day but take days to loose it.
10/17- 166.8 Still going in the right direction
10/18- 166.8 Did not go up so that's a small win.
10/19- 166.2 I wont make my goal this time around. New goal, get back to this rounds starting weight.
10/20- 165.1 Ok, just need to stay the path.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/13 …..208.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/14 …..209.2 ….. After travel weight so I’ll take it. Good luck everyone this round. Welcome to all the newbies, we are thrilled that you have joined us!
10/15 …..208.4 ….. I shed that travel weight quickly with some pretty good choices at home yesterday. Today is a WONDERFUL day for me. I have been going through some very tough things here at home and work and today a wee piece of it is getting resolved. I will explain when I have time. It has been time crunching and gut wrenching at times which has been holding me back from my usual fitness and diet routines. 2 more parts to go and I hope to be all in again by the first of the year. In the meantime, it’s wonderful to see the progression in all parts of my life including these little losses on the scale. Thanks for your support everyone! I’m finding my way back slowly but surely!
10/16 …..208.2 ….. I was hoping for a bigger drop but I guess I should not get greedy. I am happy, overall, at the downward trend when I know I am not in a place to give 100% just yet. However, the dust will settle eventually! Yay on the continual improvement!
10/17 …..207.6 ….. This is great news for me! I have been lowering my portion sizes and choosing my snacks carefully. I am still not getting in enough movement, not logging consistently and not counting calories and carbs to the exact numbers. However, I am making the small changes here and there that is helping to make a difference. Life is still upside down for me, but I am tweaking what I can and staying committed in my mind and soul. That is the best I can hope for or do right now. The little changes make a difference, friends!
10/18 …..208.2 ….. I’m not sure exactly what happened. Small portions and pretty good choices. Probably the garlic bread. I noticed on my spoiler that I have lost (and made goal of ANY LOSS) the last 3 rounds. Striving to keep up the momentum.
10/19 …..207.4 ….. Wow! The ups & downs of a weight loss journey! I really watched my portions yesterday and had no bedtime snacks when watching late-night TV because I took my son out to a newly renovated restaurant in our town that now serves Pizza including Deep Dish Square Pizza. In this little town, that is a BIG DEAL. It was delicious even though it is not normally in my menu planning. My son and I ate JUST UNTIL we began to feel full and took the rest home for dinner later. Portion Control especially with “wrong foods” is ESSENTIAL. No snacks-payment for the Pizza. It greatly helped the scale this morning. I am so happy that it did not completely blow my progress. Social things will always occur…..I’ve just got to keep making those adjustments. Have a great week everyone!
10/20 …..207.0 ….. So….. last night, after having had a low calorie/carb dinner, I started munching small amounts of multiple things. Grazing really. I was convinced I was hungry. I am proud that I stopped myself, paid attention and realized that I was not full, but not hungry either. It was more in my head. Also cravings perhaps? I realized I didn’t really NEED more food. So I stopped. I’m not going to say it was easy to overrule my brain, but I stopped. I am so glad I was able to do that last night. What a NSV that was! The scale rewarded me this morning too!
10/21 …..206.2….. Come on 205!!!! I am sure these losses will level off at some point, but I am enjoying the fruits of my labor for as long as I can. I danced to one 4 minute song last night and I did one Fitness Marshall video workout (under 3 minutes) also. Hey, it is a start!

Round 129
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 148
GW: 140
UGW: 125
GW for this round: 146
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 128 (3): 150.4 to 148.0 (-2.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Lose 2 lbs
- Get out for a morning run twice and do Ring Fit the other days
- Do core strengthening exercises 5x (every other day)
10/14 - 148.0 - Starting off on a nice round number. Got new running shoes yesterday, and they feel great! I’d forgotten how big a difference good shoes can make for my knees and feet. Did the new core exercises this morning; here’s to a great round for everyone!
10/15 - 147.2 - Ugh, yesterday was HARD. I don’t know what the trigger was (lack of sleep? hormones? too much calorie restriction?) but I was SO HUNGRY all day. I wanted to eat everything in sight. I managed to mostly stick to my meal plan, but still indulged in some extra bites here and there. I’m happy about the scale going down, but I’ve got to make some modifications if I keep feeling like this. It’s not worth it and definitely not sustainable.
10/16 - 147.2 - Happy to hold steady after such a big drop yesterday. Still not sure what caused such extreme hunger, but I felt much better yesterday and today. Will be ordering out for dinner, so will need to plan carefully.
10/17 - 147.8 - Not surprised, for two reasons. One is that we had take-out pizza last night that was very salty - both kids woke up wanting water overnight. The second is that I’ve been tracking my weight with HappyScale (after seeing it recommended here!) and I can see that I generally have a bump up every 12-14 days and I was due for one. Knowing that history makes it a lot easier not to freak out when I see the number on the scale go up.
10/18 - 147.8 - High again, but it’s also now TOM, so again, not too surprised. Also felt very sore and heavy trying to exercise this morning. Just got to keep eating well and trust that the scale will go back down.
10/19 - 146.4 - There we go, back on track!
10/20 - 146.8 - Back up a little, but not too bad. Probably more accurate than the big drop yesterday. This morning was rough since the little guy woke at 4:00 AM - going to need lots of coffee today.
10/21 - 146.4 - And down again. Feeling good today - made some healthy pumpkin muffins for breakfast and the kids have actually been playing together nicely so I’ve managed to get some stuff done around the house. Happy Wednesday!

October focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 128- Stabilise weight under 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2020
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.
