Round 134

Please join us! Starting on 12/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 134
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.



Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Low carb

Day/Weight/Comment
12/03 169.9 ~ {Steps 6,981} ~ Spot on with diet and a shorter workout. I pulled a hamstring a couple days ago so basically besides yoga, I’m only talking Pete for his morning walk.
12/04 169.9 ~ {Steps 8,985} ~ I decided to start decorating, haven’t been in the mood lately. 😖
12/05 169.9 ~ {Steps 14,195} ~ I’ve NEVER had the scale the same for 3 days, my sodium isn’t high or calories. The only difference is my workouts. I’m thinking I might have to get another SHORT walk in.on the bright spot my hamstring isn’t as bad.
12/06 168.5 ~ {Steps 6,483} ~ woot hoot, now it’s time to keep the scale moving the right direction. The key is to keep moving 🚶‍♀️and healthy food choices 🫐🍌🥒🍎🧅🍆

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 133 (round 66 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need this to lose a few pounds before Christmas! I've been going a bit haywire!!!! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.

Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

Challenge for this round (again) will be to get back into and stay in133s. Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!

Day/Weight/BF%/comment

12/3: 218.2 (-0.2)/28.5 (-0.1). I'm in a bit of an annoying plateau phase; I just can't get below 218. That being said, I can remember very clearly (and recently) when I was talking about not being able to get under 220 for the longest time. Patience is a virtue. This is a marathon, not a sprint. I'm like 98% on-plan, all the time. And, if I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I have not been exercising AT ALL. There's a lot of room for me to put more effort into this. With that being said, I'm going to shoot for a workout tonight (at home) when I get off of work.

12/4: 218.0 (-0.2)/28.5 (0.0). I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SICK OF 218.X!!!! I just had to say that. My scale was REALLY TRYING to get me down to 217.8 today, but, in the end, it relented and stayed at 218.0. Exercise did not happen last night, at least not what I was trying for originally (and I wasn't "mad" at that at all). My brain is ready for my body to release some weight, but apparently brain and body are not on the same page. Perhaps my body is rebelling, angry that I have not followed through with my promises of exercise. You're right, body. I need to get you moving.

12/5: 217.4 (-0.6)/28.4 (-0.1). Sweet. That's all I was asking for (finally spying sub-218.0). My brother-in-law and his fiancee are coming over today for outdoors social distancing. We're going to order out, and I'll get a delicious keto-friendly salad. I feel a little guilty having them come over with the COVID-19 craziness currently happening (20,000+ cases per day in CA and over 200,000 nationwide), but I'll be masked at almost all times (except while eating/sipping), we'll be socially distanced, and, again, we'll be on my covered patio outside.

he 'drops' will be progressively difficult as December moves along. I'm OK with that. In fact, I will probably gain a few lbs. I don't deny myself the many food and beverage celebrations that come with the holiday season but the log will be for honesty sakes.

Round 134

I think you are very wise to change your goal to one that benefits you mentally during another lock down. Are you allowed to take your kids on walks though? I don't know where you live, but if it's not too cold, that might help burn off some energy for your littles. I hate that you are having to endure this...again. Hang in there!

12/03 179.0 Baby, it’s COLD outside! So all my exercise was done inside yesterday. I’ve done 18:6 IF the past two days so I think that is helping me.
12/04 178.0 Had a really good food day yesterday and did 19:5 IF.
12/05 176.8 This feels great! If I know my body though, it’ll blip back up tomorrow. But I’m enjoying it today! Did 16:8 yesterday with the IF. Hopefully the weather will clear a bit today, and I can get in an outdoor walk. Got the Christmas tree up and will decorate it today if all goes as planned. Soon, I’ll be traveling to NC to be with my Mom. Dad says there’s a plan to bring her home from the hospital, but it’s complicated and he’s so exhausted he can’t articulate it well. Will find out more this evening. I don’t think there’s any hope that she pulls out of this though. Just a matter of time.
12/06 177.2 I figured this was coming after yesterday’s big drop, but I’m ok with it. It’s still trending down really well of late. I brought my scales to my parents’ house because I will have to really keep a close eye on things while I’m here or I will undo all my hard work.
12/07 177.6 Had a good food day yesterday and got in lots of exercise, so I’m not sure why this continues to go back up. Will have to see what I can do about this today. I can’t fast very well here at my parents’ house though. They just wouldn’t understand it. So that will work against me. Now that I think about it, I didn't drink much water yesterday, so I'll make that a priority today.

12/03 Did 2 miles of Leslie Sansone video and really enjoyed it. She really works you out, full-body! I’m still a little uncoordinated for some of the moves she adds in, but it’s fun and hopefully I’ll get less clutsy as I do more.
12/04 Rode 35 minutes and 8.52 miles on my exercise bike. No walking other than 11K+ steps, but I’m only counting real “walking outside or in an exercise walk” miles.
12/05 Rode 30 minutes for 7.58 miles. No walks, but 13k steps getting things done around the house trying to get ready for Christmas and cook some meals to put in my parents’ freezer for whatever the future holds. Realized this morning that I had confused some bike and walking miles when working on the totals, so I’ve gone back to correct the totals in this post.
12/06 Rode my Dad’s ancient elliptical bike last night. It’s harder than mine, but it’s better than nothing. Cranked out a tough 4 miles on this total body machine and I’m feeling it in my arms a bit this morning. Hope to get in a long walk today before they bring Mom home.
12/07 Got in a 3.16 mile walk before EMS brought Mom home. I had planned for 4 miles, but Dad called right in the middle of it, and I had to make a beeline back to their house by a shorter route. But I had almost 18K steps with everything that was going on, so at least I stayed active!

Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 48.14 WALK
Total Bike Miles toward Goal: 43.93 BIKE

Kick 2020 to the Curb Goal: 3-30 min exercise bike workouts per week= 105 miles by Jan. 1 in addition to the walking goal I'm already working on. May do another 5K walk on or around Jan. 1, too, and just see if I can beat my Turkey Trot time.

12/04: 123.4- Been a little messed up the pass 3 weeks- thought I had started menopause but went backwards which explains alot!!! I am 55 I am over this!!!! Still TOMing!!! 6 days later, migraine for 3 weeks, but now know I did not overeat as much as I thought and was ridiculous in my cravings. Hope to be over this hormonal blip soon and be able to access and monitor in a regular controlled environment this round.
12/05: 124.2- Going wrong way and still messed up hormonally -its been a week now. Today no pickleball, home gym workout, harder to push my here.
12/06: 124.2- So happy to see I held steady. Made my husband his favorite dinner but must have ate in moderation, he had to work yesterday and had an extremely difficult day! While waiting for him drank some wine and talked with my family out west. No pickleball, my secret to calorie burn, yesterday...will play this afternoon. Tried my best o log, always struggle with my own recipes and then proportions.
12/07: 123.0 The scale is a crazy thing- No idea when I went to weigh myself this morning I would be down, don't get me wrong this is great but did not see it coming- I am really hormonally screwed up right now so it must be related to this since I ate slightly over my calories yesterday.

12/07 - 156.3 - Holy moly bloat! The scale bloat is much worse than the visible bloat. Possibly due to water - I definitely didn't get more than 45oz yesterday. Woke up real thirsty, too, which is a tell-tale sign I didn't drink enough yesterday. Didn't think I ate too awful much. Fasted 15hrs, not terrible for a weekend for me. I'm very very tired, been up 10 minutes and already eying a nap kind of tired. Hopefully I can wake up and be functional soon.

Previous Day's Comments

12/03 - Wowza, I didn't expect this. Scale even teased me by flasting 149.9 a couple times before settling. My official TOM is here so I'm wondering if that's playing a part in it. Hopefully it also means my hormones are rebalancing from the (potential) medicine interaction. I did admire myself in the mirror this morning - I can see how much different I look without all the chronic bloating. Apparently my fasting sweet spot is 17-18+ hrs instead of 16 to see significant drops in bloating. May be a bit more challenging to reach on a daily basis, but when its just BF and I, dinner is early enough to make it doable. I drank about 112oz (estimating) yesterday. I was real thirsty towards the evening. Fasted 17.5hrs. Was a bit peckish but wanted slightly longer fast. Had back to back meetings that I knew I couldn't make it through, though. BF made steak and mashed potatoes for us for dinner. I tried to eat slowly and mindfully as to not overeat, but I finished my plate and then finally felt the fullness 20 minutes later. Luckily, the stuffed feeling lasted only about 10 minutes and I was back to feeling satiated. Bodies are funny when you try to learn to listen to them. Definitely not the most straightforward at times.
12/04 - Ah man! Honestly, I expected a larger bump up. BF made chicken alfredo for dinner so there's some bloating from that. Fasted 16hrs - he made breakfast as well. Biscuits and gravy, yuuum. Its been a few weeks since I've had that so I decided to splurge. Hit 75oz I think. Didn't measure leftover water from my 32oz water bottle. I'm satisfied with it. Lazy day today, I think. Going to make bread base to refrigerate tonight for tomorrow's chicken gnocchi. Recipe says refrigerating it helps with fluffiness or something? Can be made 3 days ahead before popping it into oven. Guess we shall find out! Found out last night, his ex is letting the kids come down here for Christmas! A week!! They leave the 26th to go back We weren't expecting to have them again until spring break. He bought them presents from us to ship up there but now we want to spoil them some more and grab a few more things for them to open down here with us. EEK! Exciting.
12/05 - I'm shocked to be down. I started fasting after dinner but decided to drink a glass of hot gluhwein after BF told me the 2.5hr call with his mom is about his dad in hospital. Its an ugly situation all around. I felt helpless as I'm the helper type so I sipped my gluhwein and read while he isolated in the garage to work on the bug. Got to socially distance see Fam! COVID cancelled our usual Christmas parade, but the community (about 30 people) got together to do their own. Park on main street, stay in vehicles, and watch them drive personal vehicles decorated past us. We parked next to Fam and got to see the Godkids through the windows (Godson is still showing zero signs of COVID. If anything, he's crazier and happier than before hospital. Think its because he's free from hospital again). I was able to ask about gluten free flour alternative and now I can make enough dinner to drop off chicken gnocchi and bread. FamWife has sensitivies/intolerances so the soup has just enough of those to make her a little uncomfortable, but nothing huge (a little gluten from gnocchi and lactose). So I'll be making a second loaf today of gluten free bread to drop off to her with the soup! At least I know she can enjoy the bread without worry! Cooking and baking will be a good distraction and therapy for me today.
12/06 - Not shocked or worried. Had pizza for lunch as well as homemade bread and chicken gnocchi soup for dinner. A very heavy, high-carb day. Had one small glass of wine, but tummy feels like a hangover. I'm guessing that doesn't have to do with wine and is all food-related. I did have lots of dairy - cheese for lunch, heavy cream and cheese for dinner. Sipping water frequently this morning to overcome and seems to be helping. Managed 14hr fast yesterday and ~75oz water. Depending on when wings are done for Football Sunday and when my fast ends (aiming 16hrs, if I can), I'll save leftover chicken gnocchi for lunch tomorrow. Hopefully I can show a drop in the morning to get back on track.

12/01 - What better way to beat anxiety than yoga. Today I'll try to get some meditative yoga to help me calm down after last night.
12/02 - Yesterday I got halfway through my yoga workout and the dog started throwing up everywhere. I have a weak stomach so cleaning it had me gagging and running to the bathroom. Ruined the mood. Try again today to make up for it
12/03 - Did get my yoga done yesterday. Yoga With Adriene has her December calendar up so I'm following those videos on the days I can practice. Yesterday was a 10 minute meditation yoga so I decided to get some movement as well by finishing the practice I didn't get to on 12/01. I just started over since it was also a pretty short one.
12/04 - Started my yoga practice but was interrupted with BF waking up earlier than normal. The worst part about having a house a tad too small.
12/05 - I realized I'm behind on YWA calendar. I did the meditation as day 2 instead of day 1! Oops. Hoping a short practice today since I'm not sure plans.
12/06 - Didn't get a practice in and not sure I'll get one in today. Will have to focus on getting them done during the week and give myself slack on weekends since they're always spur of the moment.
12/07 - No yoga. Couldn't even finish making coffee and BF was ready to go. I kind of figured that would happen. Hoping today I'll wake up a little bit more so I can get a practice in, even if its short and sweet.

Round 134 will be spent in Florida. The good is that there are lovely opportunities to get outdoor exercise but the bad is more dietary challenge with restaurants and MIL cooking when we visit her. Goal for this round is to get to 135 or below, which should not be hard given that the past two days I was under 136 (.8 uptick this morning to start off the round ) and this goal would support my goal for overall month of December of 2 lb loss from yesterday, Dec 1.

For my kick it to the curb, my goal for while I am in Florida (this whole round) is to walk/run to Sombrero beach, take a picture of the sun rising, and walk/run back. That appears to be a little over 6.5 miles total. With that milage, it will likely be a lot more walk than run. :P I’ll figure out my next challenge when I get back home.

Previous goals: get under 150; get under 145 for my birthday (10/26); get to pre-COVID weight 142.4, get under 140 before thanksgiving, get to 137.6 (weight on 10/2/19), not gain over Thanksgiving.

Round 134 – starting weight 136.4

12/3 – 136.0 (florida scale) Successfully handled dining out last night and keeping under calories. I order two items from the appetizer section, tuna tataki and lump blue crab cakes with chipotle sauce. Perfect meal. For main exercise, I have been heading out before sunrise for my alone walks. Yesterday, got a 4 mile walk and this morning I went for 4.5 miles. Working closer to heading for my Sombrero Beach morning.

12/4 – 135.2 (florida scale) Had to change the batteries last night. I have no idea if that impacted numbers either before battery change or after. But this number is within the realm of possibilities given I weighed this same number one day last round. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

12/5 – 134.8 (florida scale) To continue to get through these remaining days in the keys, I have pre-tracked all my dinners and breakfasts, including dining out (accessed online menus). That bit of control is helping me get through.

12/6 – 133.8 (florida scale) Really curious if this scale is accurate or not. Anyhow, yesterday, I found I had woken up before 6 am and decided to go for the “sunrise photo walk” sooner than I planned, given I needed to be out the door by 6:10 to make it to the beach in time for sunrise. I arrive at 6:54 for the 6:56 sunrise. Glad to have done it. Also, sharing a totally different observation. Last night, did take out pizza. Now, my normal method is “more is better” and would have ordered the 16” pizza and who knows what I would have eaten. Instead, I looked up pizza calories and concluded that with a 14” pizza I could have 2 slices safely, but then figure out during the day that will a little tweaking of the rest of the day, I could have 3. I thoroughly enjoyed dinner!

12/7 – 134.6 (florida scale) Makes more sense, but there is also an interesting coincidence (of course we are only at n=2), but I have had two notable upticks since arriving in the Keys. Both were the day after I did a 3.3 mile walk/run. Yesterday, I also did something new. Hubby had been commenting on how we were in the Keys and had been unable to have a drink due to daily calorie allotments. So I proactively looked up a classic margarita recipe and preplanned our day to include one margarita each. 15 minutes later I needed a nap…….
