Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 135

I am going to try something different this round. I thought that a daily weigh-in was required but then I noticed that some people don't weigh when they go away and/or some times a day or two is missed, intentionally or unintentionally, so I figure it is okay!
I have the honor of officiating at a wedding (socially distanced, 8 people!) and I will be away from the scale for two days. So I figure this is a good time to try and experiment with my always worried, always number-obsessed mind! I will comment every day but I will get weighed only twice, on the 20th before I leave and on the 23rd, my morning home. We'll see how it goes!
STARTING WEIGHT ON 12/1/2014: 338lbs
ROUND 133 STARTING WEIGHT ON 12/13/2020: 137.5 lbs.
ROUND GOAL WEIGHT: 137.5 - 137 lbs.
ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT: 122-125 lbs.

Round 134: 138- 132.5 lbs. (-5.5)
DAY/WEIGHT/COMMENT
12/13 – 137.5 lbs. (5 pound gain over night even though I stuck fully to plan! This would have killed me before but I know this is not real! Long run is important! I have to remember that!)
12/14 – Ran, exercised, ate all according to plan!
12/15 - Very odd...it is easier to walk past the Twinkies than walk past the scale! I ALWAYS weighed in today...I played all the mind tricks, "I will look at it but not record it." "I will get on but not look." But I didn't! I did run, workout and eat according to plan, however!
12/16 - Didn't weigh today! Ran and exercised. But I am nervous...we are closing early today at work because of the winter storm. I am quite worried about being home alone and eating...it will be okay. It will be okay. It is just that usually I am at work until 7 or later in the evening. Today I will be there hours before that...ugh. Okay. I can do this! And if I don't...it isn't the end of the world. I am just going to try my best.

Hi, I’m Karen, in my 50’s
OSW Sept.
2018 187
12/13-165-Where I started last round. I’ve eaten good over the weekend, just some salty food. It started raining on the way home from my bike ride Friday and hasn’t stopped. Hopefully I can get a walk in today.
12/14-DNW- I ate well over the weekend and had zero alcohol, but because of the rain, nonstop, I did not get any exercise.
12/15-161-IF 17hrs. Handyman finished my sewing room yesterday; waiting for the cabinet doors to arrive. I just need to do some organizing. It was fun having him here on and off for the last 6 months since we moved in., he was our builders foreman and was here every step of the way, building our house. I’m old enough to be his mother, but he was my little buddy.
Hoping for a bike ride or long walk today. Rain has stopped and it is very cold.
12/16-164-IF 17 hrs. Made salmon cakes and found Brussels sprouts on the stalk; they were super fresh. Only biked 7 miles, lots of mud and mean country dogs which dampen the joy of a good long ride.
Goals:
Ride 10, mi., Walk 5 mi. Or Skate 1 mi.
Bike=48 mi. total
Walk = 17 total
Skate=1 total6 -

Goals for this round:

12/13 - 136.8 - Feeling incredibly bloated and yucky today. Not a great start. I managed to get up and make myself do 45 minutes of Just Dance, which helped me feel better but obviously the scale is still high. I’m going to try and relax as much as possible for the rest of the day - as much as the kids let me!
12/14 - 136.8 - Yeah, so much for resting yesterday. I was on my feet all day long chasing kids, doing curbside pickups or making my meal prep for the week. I’m happy to get back to the meal prep though - it makes it so much easier to stick to my daily calories when I’m not figuring out on the fly what to eat.
12/15 - 135.6 - So excited this morning, and not even because of the scale (though I’m very happy to be under 136 again). Last night my husband surprised me with my Christmas present early - a Series 6 Apple Watch! I’d been using his old Series 1 after he got a new one last year; it worked fine and I really liked it, but I was really interested in the new Apple Fitness + that was coming out and you needed a Series 3 and up to use it. So Apple Fitness + launched yesterday... and he got me the new watch so I could get it! I tried two workouts this morning - a HIIT and a Strength training - and LOVED it. It was absolutely adorable with the kids trying to do it with me too. I’m not going to stop doing Ring Fit and Just Dance, but this is an awesome new option for me.
12/16 - 134.4 - That’s a nice whoosh! I needed that this morning. It’s so much harder to resist all the cookies and candy when you aren’t seeing progress on the scale.

Goal: At least 15 minutes of yoga before bed each night
12/13 - 15 minutes of yoga and mindful breathing before bed.
12/14 - Skipped last night - too tired and fussy toddler again. Committing to doing it tonight.
12/15 - Did 12 minutes of yoga and about 5 of deep breathing before bed. Days have still been challenging with my 5 year old, but I do think this is helping. It’s helping me sleep, at least, which also results in a calmer me during the day!
12/16 - I had such a better day yesterday. Did 20 minutes of yoga before bed - I hope to find one of the Apple Fitness + yoga programs to be good for winding down for sleep.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/12 …..204.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/13 …..203.2 ….. A nice little drop to start this round. I stuck to low calorie and carb yesterday until the peanut butter toast last night (just too hungry). However, due to a diligent day, my calories remained low and my carbs were mid-range. It helped. Good luck everyone this round!
12/14 …..203.4 ….. I would love to call this a normal fluctuation but….. well, my meals were on track but the Christmas goodies people share got to me a bit too much.
12/15 …..205.0 ….. I deserve this, however, bad days do not define me. Today will be a better day.
12/16 …..205.0 ….. Very good meal planning but snacks got me again. Also, little to urine output. Retaining water for sure!

My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.
Dec 01 – Danced 20 minutes and my was it harder than last time!
Dec 02 – Danced my heart out for 20 minutes.
Dec 03 – No dancing. Paperwork and wrapping presents.
Dec 04 – Danced for 20 minutes to mostly classic rock.
Dec 05 – Danced for about 22 minutes to a nice mix of music.
Dec 06 – Lots of movement but no dancing due to workmen here all day and continued unpacking.
Dec 07 – More workers here and no dancing. However, if you count going up and down stairs for hours as exercise, I got in my fair share!
Dec 08 – Danced about 8 minutes. Better than nothing I suppose.
Dec 09 – 20 minutes of dancing and it knocked the wind out of me. Slower songs next time until I get used to it again!
Dec 10 – No dancing. All working around the house and sitting…sitting…sitting while shopping online. No stores in my rural area!
Dec 11 – Danced 20 minutes and even sang to the songs!
Dec 12 – No Dancing. Not enough movement. Online shopping again!
Dec 13 – Danced for about 14 minutes.
Dec 14 – I didn’t dance. A friend was over until very late last night who ran errands with me all day. Donuts & coffee did not help the scale.
Dec15 – Danced about 12 minutes. But I got a LOT of unpacking and orgainizing done. And I am all caught up on the wrapping until Amazon visits me tomorrow.7 -

@UTMom81 - so sorry to hear the sad news about your Mom, I did sort of expect it as you had been missing for a few days, I have been thinking of you both, your Dad and your family.

You can do this, be strong, set yourself a different task to distract your mind, then you will have beaten it before you know it xx.

12/14 196.1 What I didn’t think about in regards to this time of the year is how you run out of time to cook. When I add in the task of doing my daughter hair for 2 and half hours last night it adds to running out of tim. I never cooked dinner. Had meal prep ideas, never got to it. The weather was warm yesterday so I took to the kids to the park. That was nice.
12/15 196.7 I am losing this race. Cookies and apple crisp.
12/16 196.2 Some progress but I have a feeling that a REAL gain has happened, no water weight. I have had so much junk in my house with the 3 year old holiday. Last night was really hard. The only thing I ate that was not regulation was 6 sour patch kids. It was not nearly enough but I resisted anything else and even did some dancing with the kids to Christmas songs in front of the Christmas tree last night. I was trying to teach them how to twist. LOL

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
December focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 135- 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.

Hi : )
55F , SW 131.2 , GW 125
10 Day Goals
1) Run/walk 10 miles total (2.5 miles x4 runs)
2) Check in/record weight daily (& trend down!)
3) Do ONE mobility/strength exercise/set dailynothing to say...yet!
Day/Weight/Comment
12/13 (Sunday) = 132.0
Oops. Wrong direction. Too much couch time & snacking yesterday. On-line Christmas shopping has its disadvantages-->no walking involved. Sighhhh...guess that’s why I’m here. : ) Exercise=7 single leg calf raises each side, hip flexor stretch x20 seconds each. (I know it's not much--trying to start a habit!)
12/14 (Monday) = 132.4
Well....harrumph. I think I did better today. I need to be more diligent tracking! I went over my allotted calories yesterday and to the shock of Nobody Anywhere, excess calories = excess pounds. Boo. Exercise today=calf raises, hip flexor stretch, clamshell, supine SLR, side SLR, heel walk. No run today--got side tracked filing away All The Papers. How does the paper pile get so ridiculously large?!!
12/15 = 131.2
Did better at logging in MFP. Exercise=run 1.5 miles. Cold outside (feels like 19F) maybe that will help burn some calories haha Need to cover my face better next time--frozen!
12/16 = 131.2
Holding steady still --I’ll take it = ) Exercise = TBD Fail.
