17: DNW 🥚 Got stung by something last night while sitting at a friend's house. Not positive what it was, but I had a pretty significant reaction within a couple minutes. Most of my forearm was red with a big welt. Then I started to feel really weird, thought I may have a sudden fever because I had cold sweats, my heart rate was 121 (which I didn't know until checking Fitbit this morning), told my friend that something was wrong and that I needed to get inside to the couch. Apparently, after that I stood up, took a couple of steps up onto her front stoop, and stumbled into the front doorway, hitting my head and scraping my knee as I tried to catch myself from completely falling down. She said I kind of crumpled into a sitting position on the stoop and was briefly responsive but then completely fainted. I remember coming to and asking what just happened. She called 911 and had someone come check on me, but thankfully I was feeling much better even in the few minutes it took them to get there. I later ended up having hives on both wrists and my hands were very itchy until I iced them. I've never fainted in my life and have never had a systemic reaction to any type of insect sting or bite, so I'm hoping to see a doctor on Monday for some follow up. Taking it easy and tracking the continual growth of the welt on my forearm today while I get lots of rest, benadryl, and ice.

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.
It sounds like you had an anaphylactic response to whatever it was that stung you. The anaphylactic shock can cause a drop in blood pressure along with the hives you ended up with. I hope you feel better and I hope your doctor prescribes you epi pens just in case you get stung next time and you're unresponsive for a longer period of time and/or your breathing is affected. I would also ask for allergy testing too. Often times for stinging insects/bees they can do a blood test so you don't have to deal with a skin scratch test.
I grew up with my mom going into anaphylactic shock countless times due to very severe food allergies. It's a scary experience when you don't know what's happening in your body. I hope it gets figured out for you!
Thank you! 💜
Sorry I missed this original post; that must have been so scary! Glad you're ok.2 -
I am a 51F. I started making changes to my diet in July 2020 but did not get a scale. In December 2020 I got a scale and my weight was 76.9kg/169.1lbs on the 9th. I am 5ft 1in.
I now average around 1600 calories/day over the week having lowered it from 1800 or so. I have become a lot more active than I was before.
7/11 - 69.3kg/152.5lbs

@PrimalJillian, Good grief! What a frightening experience. Thank goodness your friend was with you.
@Deepwoodslady, Donna you're doing so well! ❤
@Quiltingjaine, Happy Keto-versary! LOL. Wow. 11 years. I think it's 10y + months. I've really been on MFP since 2009, but under a different name and password until 2011. So, all that means is that I haven't learned to keep the weight off! 🤣
@SheilaBoneham, That peach cobbler! Enjoy! I don't think I've made one for about 3-4 years. I was going to make one this summer, but I'll have to settle for a spinach peach smoothie instead.4 -

12: 206.9 🥚It's been challenging for me to keep any kind of healthy routine with the kids home from school. Today is my day 1 to turn this around before any more time passes. My weight is up, but taking into consideration that I'm in my ovulation week this will likely drop quickly by the end of the round.
13: 204.6 🥚 Heading out the door for day 2 at the gym. Really happy with my how yesterday went with elliptical, IF, supplements, and 88oz of water. Could've done better on carbs, but had the meal planned/purchased before I decided to get back on track.
14: 204.9 🥚 Small uptick is almost certainly from water retention. My muscles are very sore today from two consecutive days at the gym after taking a few weeks off. I also did a full body facia blasting session last night. Today is a rest day from the gym and blasting.
15: 204.9 🥚 Still sticking to my healthy routine. By Sunday, I should see I significant drop.
16: 205.6 🥚 Rolled my left ankle pretty badly yesterday. It's bruised and swollen, but I can walk almost normally. Lots of ice, arnica, and ibuprofen. No gym for at least a couple of days. Had a few drinks with friends last night and a little bit of bar food. Not even worried about the gain. It'll be gone soon. Had a fun night, and that's the important part to me.

@PrimalJillian
I have gone into Anaphylactic Shock numerous times throughout my life because of peanuts, and came close to dying twice when young, and then later in my 20's and 40's. For the past 10 years, I don't eat anything that I don't make or that I can't read the ingredients. It's just not worth it. Anaphylaxis is dangerous and can be life threatening which can turn into Anaphylactic Shock.
I just happen to have an order for an allergy blood test in front of me for next week, and they have on it what is called a Stinging Insect Panel which includes honeybees, white faced hornet, wasps, and yellow jackets. As horrible and scary of a reaction you had, I'm glad it was somewhere you could have gotten help if needed, instead of hiking in the middle of no where. Now you have a chance to get an EpiPen, and be prepared (I carry two). Even with an Epi Pen you still have to get medical attention within 20 mins or so.
Good luck. I hope they can determine the cause.4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/11 134.4 – 10.47 miles walked yesterday, along the beach up to the headland and back, took in a charity craft fayre on the return walk, partaking of a coffee & cake whilst listening to a local band in the park. Another wonderful day ! So appreciate being able to get outdoors.
7/12 136.2 – only 3.39 miles walked yesterday before our 3.5 hour journey back & then disappointment at the game last night, but there's always next time!
7/13 134.4 – 12.17 miles walked yesterday & more sensible healthy eating.
7/14 133.8 – 4.29 miles walked yesterday. Visited garden centre with DSs, got new plants, had lunch out & made sensible choices. Consistency is key.
7/15 133.8 – 12.57 miles walked yesterday, just in calorie & macros.
7/16 133.8 – 5.74 miles walked yesterday, within calories, sensible choices.

Fingers crossed it falls off as quickly as it appeared. Monthly average wts is 159.1 which is too close to 160. I can feel I have a little more wt on my midsection & I don’t like how it feels. Kept calories low today, but fiber went way too high. Fat went down. Such a juggling game - difficult to figure it all out sometimes.

July focus:- maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since November 2019)
- Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
- Gradually working my way down to being consistently under 140lbs
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Aims:2021 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 156- Maintain weight < 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 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- 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.

Exercise Goal for this round: Bike, planks, squats & hand weights at least once per week. Walk the dog 100 miles in July!
🎯Mini Goal: 204.x (Repeat until I hit it!)
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
7/11 205.4 Walk 2.75 miles, trimmed tree limbs, 1678 cal, 81 net carbs. Better start this round. No plans for travel or parties this time around so I have no excuses but to hit my mini goal.
7/12 204.9 Walk 2 miles, bike 10 min, plank, squats, hand weights, 1757 cal, 89 net carbs, AF.
7/13 205.2 Walk 3.8 + .7 + .4 miles, 1899 cal, 92 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Teeter tottering on the edge wishing to push downward.
7/14 207.0 Walked .9 + 1.75 miles, swimming, 1565 cal, 68 net carbs, AF. Hiking in Brazos State Park & swimming to entertain my daughter-in-law’s 5 yr old niece that is visiting. Came too close to an alligator! Wow that is a strange & disappointing jump up on the scale this morning! Could sweet potato fries do that much damage at lunch?
7/15 207.2 Walked 4.5 miles, bike 30 min, squats, hand weights, cal, net carbs, AF. Chili for lunch and Torchy’s for dinner. Walked the dog to my home owners’ assoc. local lap pool (heated during the winter) to see if my key card still works which was much further than I thought but a nice walk (better than jumping in the car!). It is still active so I guess I need to consider adding swimming laps to my routine. The dog & I were both exhausted walking in the heat but we beat the rain! Need to make a point to get out earlier in the morning.
7/16 207.4 WI at 4am. Walk 2 + 1.3 miles, weeding/gardening, 2187 cal, 141 net carbs, AF (Neon Zebra margarita mocktail). Pizza for lunch & quesadillas for dinner. Need to clean up my meal planning.
7/17 206.2 Walk 1 + 1.3 miles, 1892 cal, 95 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
7/18 207.0 Walk 1.3 miles , 1511 cal, 83 net carbs, 4 glasses wine. Nice morning breakfast outside then farmers market with DD & her husband & dogs. A pretty lazy day but did throw out more stuff as I anticipate a possible move. Also sorted more of my kids’ medical, scouting and school records along with their birth, baptism, lifeguarding & other certificates to pass along to them. The idea of moving elsewhere away from the kids and all the community I’ve built up over the past 30 years in Houston is starting to stress me out. Drinking more, not paying attention to the meal planning, not sleeping well (dreams of what if) and in general riddled with anxiety.
7/19 205.9 Walked 3.2 miles, 1480 cal, 76 net carbs, 4 glasses wine. Good day. Kids came over to cook burgers for lunch and chat.

7/19 - 146.0 - Water still not 100%, but better. Need to stick to it in the afternoon. I did end up accidentally falling asleep for about an hour and a half right before dinner which didn't help me get water in before bed. Oops. Did my introduction run/walk to Zombies, Run! C25K. I didn't realize there'd be running involved in that first one. I about died. I'm slow getting up and moving today, been so tired lately and not sure why. I'm now dressed and waiting for the pup to calm down and cool off from her "vicious" attack (barking relentlessly) at the dog across the street. She thinks she's mean... The other dog is so used to her non stop barking, it ignores her entirely and drives her batty. Quite entertaining, though I feel for our neighbors so I bring her inside whenever she starts in. Once she's calm, we will head out for Week 1 Day 1.

Previous Day's Comments7/11 - Well, I tried to post yesterday but things were hectic and I still didn't get all my errands done. Oh well. I definitely need more water. This week at work was hectic as I was all over the place and didn't know whether to bring my water or not so I didn't (less to carry) and then ended up sticking around a different office with no water ): I don't even know who I'm shadowing this week for work so I'm not sure about my water intake going forward. The next 4 days will be hit and miss when it comes to posting. I'll do my best, but can't promise. I'm still weighing and aiming for good habits, though. I'll be back Friday, for sure, as it's my day off. HAVE A GREAT ROUND!
7/12 - DNP
7/13 - Pre-TOM bloat is hitting me hard today. Yesterday was more sitting than anything with online training to complete. Today, hopefully, will be a little bit more active. Feeling much less sleepy (though I hated my alarm going off) which is good. Yesterday was plain horrible how sleepy I was all day. Hopefully I can drink more water today. I tried yesterday but I was so tired I zoned out and didn't think about it. Leftover homemade shrimp alfredo for lunch. Meatball subs for dinner. Trying to make it a good day.
7/14 - TOM bloat and heaviness going down. Still working on getting more water. Been super challenging since I'm not stationary. BF Granddad died 2 days ago so yesterday he and the kids left. Be back (planning) Monday so its just me and the pup this weekend. Work today, off tomorrow to rest and relax. Need to go shopping for more veggie ideas for this weekend for me.
7/15 - Managed 65 oz water yesterday so I feel like I'm making some progress on that. Last ate about 2pm and had bone broth for dinner. Will aim for 2-3pm today bone broth only and see how I feel. Time to catch up on everybody's posts!
7/16 - Fasted just over 24 hours but was very hungry and got a headache. Even after eating my headache continued into today. It's mostly gone now. Fasted just over 16 hours today. Behind on water today, but playing catch up now.
7/17 - Didn't quite catch up on water and was so hungry all day after I broke my fast. Was also a lazy day, though I did take the pup for a super short walk at dusk. Mosquitos were eating us both alive though, so we came inside. As soon as my phone charges (it didn't overnight, not sure why), I'm going to go on my first Zombies, Run! mission. This is 22 minutes of running/jogging/walking (whatever we choose) to learn about the program. This one is a C25K version but I hope I'll stick to it better than the original C25K app I used. It is 8 weeks long but with my work schedule, I know I can't run 3 days a week but thankfully I have 18 weeks until the run to build up.
