Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 157

musicsax

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 157 (round 89 for me ) I continue to need this to help keep me on track!
@QuiltingJaine - thank you yet again for setting up the new challenge.

Challenge for this round is to continue yet again to work back towards maintanence – any loss will be a win! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Covid restictions have mostly been lifted in England – we have reached “freedom day”, but remember there is still a pandemic, continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in crowded indoor settings, always consider others.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/21: 144# Good day yesterday. Able to walk outside although it was terribly muggy.
7/22: 143.5# Planning my food yesterday helped as I went out with colleagues for a send off and still came in below calories and then walked when I got home. Upper body strength training is checked off for today.
7/23: 143# The weather was great so able to get out and walk yesterday. Off to a good start but the weekend is looming - better plan ahead.
7/24: 143# Still on track with strategy despite my Friday night wine splurge. Got caught in a sudden rain storm while out walking. Keep up the good work everyone
7/25: 142.5# Very frustrating day yesterday and my attitude did not help. Lots of challenges and delays getting out for a bike ride but I did it despite my myself. I needed a whop upside the head to set me straight. Amor fati
7/26: 143# Hmm, perhaps a normal fluctuation or salty food. I was under calories, lifted weights and walked yesterday. No worries.
7/27: 143# I took a nice fall onto hands and knee on the road half way through my walk yesterday. I am officially now a Road Warrior.
7/28: 143# Hanging in there.

7/28 - 145.8 - Dinner was salty and only just over 60oz water. Slept better, found some squishy earplugs that don't hurt to sleep with. Of course kids decided to stand outside my bedroom and scream at each other just as I went to bed so I screamed right back. At least they got quiet after that. Today I don't expect too much movement so will try to get up and walk around periodically. Things will calm down once this becomes routine, though.

Previous Day's Comments

7/21 - Still bouncy, that's alright. I imagine its lower water intake (65 oz) combined with my homemade enchiladas last night. BF and kids came home so I had dinner just out of the oven when they walked in and homemade brownies baking while we ate so they were fresh and warm for dessert. With all that cooking and baking, I neglected my water. Finished W1D2 of Zombies C25K and today I'll try some strength. I cancelled my 9Round subscription since I can't really squeeze it in enough with my commuting schedule to be worth the money. Will have to find something else. I'm sure YouTube has something for me to get me through.
7/22 - Finally hit my 90 oz water! Did a little strength workout yesterday. It wasn't much, but I am a bit sore today. It's a run day and I'm in my running clothes ready to go when it gets light out. I really don't want to but I know I need to. Back to work next week and I may only have 1 day I can run. Will put a damper on my training but I'm determined to run the full 5k in November.
7/23 - It'll go back up. Not enough water yesterday. Did, however, leave myself out of a Dairy Queen ice cream trip. I wanted it so bad, but I know what ice cream does to me and I forced myself to not give in. Run went well, really pushed myself hard. Last full weekend with kids before they go back to Kansas for the school year ):
7/24 - DNP
7/25 - Expected. Concert Friday night, river yesterday. While at the river, my Godson ended up going to the the hospital and then transported to the transplant hospital diagnosed with RSV. Seems as though he's doing alright considering it's only been 6 months since transplant, but staying until Wednesday for observation. Hectic weekend thus far. Battling a migraine yesterday that has lasted through to today. Hoping something will finally give in a relieve it. Not sure plans, exactly, a few ideas have been tossed around. Drinking some coffee (maybe it's caffeine withdrawal?) And back to my water.

Also, back to commuting tomorrow so, depending on my timing in the mornings, I may or may not be able to post. I'm still here! I'll be back Friday on my day off at the very least (:
7/26 - The remnents of the weekend still slowly showing up. Didn't quite get my water in, but did try to drink it where I could get it. I'd estimate about 60oz. Pizza for lunch on the go, had to get out of house since last full weekend with kids for the summer. Off to work today, hopefully I'll get some kind of activity in, even if it's just walking.
7/27 - And a whoosh back down. Quite a bit of water considering my commute. Got my Fitbit step goal (7225) and kept snacking to a minimum. Today will likely be less active but I'll figure out a way to move. Absolutely exhausted since kids were yelling and screaming while I was trying to sleep... running on 4.5hours of sleep for the second day in a row. Hopefully tonight will be better

7/23 - 178 - Feeling positive today. Kind of want to enjoy this feeling. Hopefully it lasts thru the weekend.
7/24 - 178 - This is day 2 of my special eating plan again. I’m trying this thing where I do this special eating plan for a week, and then go off it for a few days to maintain. And, then go back on. I’m hoping this works. Only one way to find out.
7/25 - ? - Wasn’t at home to weigh myself.
7/26 - 176 - OK - I’ll take it - down 2 more pounds!
7/27 - 176 - Went off plan for dinner last night. Wound up eating snacks instead of a meal - grrrrrr.

Maintenance: 140-145 (December 2018)

My 118th Round!

I've had a lot of stress with multiple medical emergencies for my family and myself over the past few weeks. I absolutely stress snacked and am now trending above maintenance. Things have calmed down a bit and my husband has 6 weeks before his post chemo check up, so I'm going to hope to stay on track and get my weight back down. I will say that without this daily accountability, I would probably be 10 lbs. heavier.

Being overweight is hard.
Maintaining a healthy weight is hard.
Choose your hard.

After losing 12 lbs. I was stuck at 174lbs. for a couple weeks until I found this challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/21 - 146.5 - I'm glad to see my weight moving down a little from the weekend. I got home from work yesterday to find that my stepdaughter had brought us a couple large apple crunch muffins. Last week I would've split one with my husband. This week I told him to eat both.
7/22 - 147 - I've been faithfully logging my food the past 3 days and have stayed within my ranges, so this is just a normal fluctuation.
7/23 - 146 - I just have to keep logging through the weekend. I know I will be eating high sodium food due to a party scheduled, so I'll have to keep drinking water.
7/24 - 146.5 - And the sodium kicked in.
7/25 - 147.5
7/26 - 148 - Ouch! Sodium, carbs, and margaritas. I had a great time at the party, but I have to take control this week.
7/27 - 148.5 - Hopefully, this is the end of the weekend bounce.
7/28 - 147.5 - Back to my round starting weight. I need to focus on steps and water the rest of the week.

Previous Challenge 156: 245.4 (-1.8)

7/21 - 245.8 (+.4) I’m actually up from yesterday, which is a surprise. I struggled eating enough because of my schedule. I’m really tired today and need to plan my meals so I get enough calories. Who would have guessed I’d have days when I didn’t eat enough? I worked out at Orange Theory Fitness so had additional calories I needed to eat to make up for the intense exercise.
7/22 - 245 (-.4) Yay! A little at a time. Today is my swim day. I love going to the pool.
7/23 - 244.8 (-.6) Darn! I was hoping for a bigger loss. Oh well, still on the way down. Swimming was wonderful yesterday. Today’s Orange Theory Fitness. I bought an Apple Watch and am curious to see how it syncs with MFP. The Olympics start today and I’m always so inspired by the athletes.
7/24 - 244 (-1.4) Now that feels good. Today is my weekly indulgence meal so the scale will be up in the next two days and then I hope to see it drop back down. I try to schedule the indulgence meal when I’m meeting a friend so it’s a double treat. I did close all my Apple rings yesterday on my brand new watch. I can see how this is motivational.
7/25 - 246 (+.6) I enjoyed every minute of my indulgence meal yesterday. Well worth waiting for. Today I’m hiking with my sister, which is always fun and beautiful. Probably my favorite exercise.
7/26 - 244.8 (-.6) Yesterday’s hike was 5 miles. It was beautiful and the weather was nice. That’s the longest hike this year. I’m definitely getting stronger and my endurance is improving. I can’t wait until next year’s hikes after I lose another 50+ pounds.
7/27 - 245.2 (-.2) Worked out at Orange Theory Fitness yesterday and had a busy day overall. I ate up to my total calorie level including exercise. I think I was kind of distracted while I was preparing and logging my foods for the first time. I need to make sure I’m logging accurately. Hoping for a better result tomorrow.
7/28 - 244.4 (-1.0) Bouncing a bit back and forth, but heading back down. Yesterday I swam at the pool. I try to get in around 50 minutes and am not taking as many breaks. It always feels good.

🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)

🎯Mini Goal: 204.x (Repeat until I hit it!)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
7/21 204.9 Walk 4.5 + 1.3 miles, bike 30 min, squats & hand weights, 1252 cal, 110 net carbs, AF. Big swoosh from yesterday which was an obvious sodium uptick. Now to keep this below 205 for the entire round!
7/22 204.3 Walk 3 + 1.3 miles, garden, 1161 cal, 49 net carbs, AF. Tried Kombucha for the first time. Kevita sparkling Lemon Cayenne. Nice change of pace!
7/23 204.6 Walk 3.3 miles, garden, 1439 cal, 77 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Today I’m meeting an old friend to walk the paths on Buffalo Bayou downtown Houston, Cisterns tour, and picnic!
7/24 204.5 Walk 2 + 3.4 + .6 miles Buffalo Bayou, 1564 cal, 101 net carbs, 2 glasses of wine. Wonderful active day! Closed all my rings plus overlapped the rings on the Apple Watch. 19550 steps!
7/25 205.0 Walk 3.2 + .6 miles, 1538 cal, 120 net carbs, AF. Grimaldi’s pizza … need I say more? Drinking water!
7/26 204.6 Walk 3.6 miles, bike 30 min, squats. plank & hand weights, 1649 cal, 64 net carbs, AF. Woke up too early and I was exhausted all day. Tried on every pant in my closet which was interesting. I’m pear shape size 18. I already threw out the size 20 & 22 pants. Put everything that was too small in another area to pull out when I’m 10 pounds lighter because though size 16 fits it doesn’t look great. I’m really apprehensive about this 1 hr Strong and Fit total body workout I signed up to take once per week. But I think it will be good for my bones & muscles as I age and hopefully it will help shape my legs, tummy and arms!
7/27 204.6 Walk 3.2 + .6 miles, 14200 steps, total body workout class 1 hr, 1552 cal, 103 net carbs, AF. Survived my first Strong & Fit class one-hour total body workout increases muscle strength and endurance by using light weights and high repetition. Lots of lunges, squats, planks and such with tons of arm movement. Sore this morning.
7/28 205.2 Walk 4.6 + 1.4 miles, bike 30 min, 2044 cal, 120 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Almost 500 cal in snacks during the day then changed dinner plans and went to a favorite Italian restaurant. Undid all my great efforts exercising in the morning.

Feeling great about starting today! Got lots of sleep last night. I'm in for a healthy 10-days.
7/22 231.7
Slept terribly. Maybe won't have green tea so close to bedtime tonight. Busy day today- work, gym, 1 hr to have dinner and see family, then taking a class with my husband in the evening. I'm thinking about cutting back on my salad dressing by half because I have been really pouring it on. Maybe that will help get the scale moving!
7/23 231.7
Slept a lot of hours if not the most peaceful sleep last night...cutting down on sugar and/or sleeping longer is making my dreams more vivid. I'm disappointed the scale didn't go down today but I have faith that I'll see a big loss (0.5 lb+) within the next couple of days. I have been sticking to my 1200-1300 calorie budget for 2lb/week...hmm. I'll get outside for a long walk today and see if it helps!
7/24 230 point something...
I weighed myself, but I can't remember the exact number. I didn't want to write it down because I started "my time of the month" and I didn't trust the numbers on the scale.
7/25 230.8
Decided to trust the number on the scale and write it down this time, even though I'm worried how it will fluctuate this week due to the wackiness of the menstrual cycle. I admit it is nice to see that I dropped a whole pound. Hoping it stays dropped.
7/26 230.4 Getting closer!
7/27 230.2 Progress is progress!
7/28 229.1 Whoa. Wasn't expecting that! My time of the month is just about over though. And I've been sticking with my calorie deficit.

Newbie here ☺️

Restarted my 16:8 IF Tuesday with 3/4 fasting of 1,000 calories. I don’t ban any foods/drinks but I do limit within my normal daily calorie target of 1,450. I find if I am too restrictive I give up quickly.

Target 1.5lbs per week until my clothes fit well. Also trying to exercise min 30 minutes each day. My weight is less important, what is important are my energy levels and measurements.

It’s not unusual when fasting to drop weight at the beginning. I am not expecting any more loss this week.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/21 - 262.4 After taking the last round off for a friend's wedding, it's time to get back into it. Have not worked out as I'm still adjusting to the time zone, but I HAVE to tonight. Last wedding got me off track for about 10 days, I can't let that happen again.
7/22 - 259.9 Honestly surprised by a drop. Maybe yesterday's weight was effected by the flights and not working out? Not sure. Ran 2 miles this morning and 1.5 last night. I really hope I can keep this below 260 and this isn't just a water weight loss!
7/23 - 259.3 Ran 2.26 miles this morning. I originally wanted 2 miles, but then I was close to 20 minutes running so I went a little longer, then I was close to 400 calories burned so I went a little longer. Actually feels good to run and kind of want to go again tonight. Also thought of how close I am to 250 and how big that number will be. It'll mark 50 lbs down, a new BMI category and just being 1/2 way to the 100s. Definitely giving me an extra push!
7/24 - 259.3
7/25 - 259.3
7/26 - 257.1 I feel like this drop always happens after the weekend. I'm not sitting at a desk all day so I get up and I have to do lawn work and all that and work out on top of that so a drop always happens for Monday. Woke up and wasn't going to work out but then figured why not get a quick run in to burn calories? Ran until I hit 300 calories burned.
7/27 - 257.3 A bit of an increase but at least I know the scales are accurate. Ran 2.25 miles with a <9 minute pace this morning, I'm going to try to do a 5k at some point just have to push myself! 3 more days in this round, hoping to see 256 point something on the scale shortly!
7/28 - 257.1 I was thinking this morning that it seems like I've been stuck at this weight forever but looking here it's only been 3 days. I guess this week has really dragged! Ran for 20 minutes, burned 412 calories. I have nothing to do tonight so may do pilates or something light. Hoping to get a little lower before the end of this round!

OK, I am back from my trip and back on the wagon. Had a wonderful week in Frisco, Colorado. Hiking, biking, and fly fishing. Only got to fish one day before I hit the deck hard during a pickle ball game. Tripped on my own two feet and managed a three-point landing on my head, knee, and shoulder. Shoulder was too sore to fish after that.

7/28:169.0. . . . the fox came back for another chicken at dusk last night! Everybody was already all locked up for the night and I was walking up and down the laneway for some extra exercise and admiring the colourful sunset (caused by smoke from wildfires) and the roosters started kicking up a big ruckus. They could see the fox outside the windows checking them out. I ran over to see what the commotion was and the fox saw me and trotted off. I guess I am not going to be able to let those girls and boys out anytime soon. The fox was lovely though; I hope she leaves my resident hares alone too. The hares usually hop off slowly when the dogs chase them but sometimes they just sit there along the side of the lane where the sweet clover grows. The dogs race at them, barking frantically, then slow down and look around awkwardly when the hare doesn't move. My dogs weigh between 8.5 and 11 pounds (chi crosses) and apparently the hares are not impressed. One of the hares regularly goes into the crawl space beneath my house when the weather's bad in the winter and I can often walk within a couple of meters of her (not while she's under the house!) There, now I've finished my smoothie and have no excuse not to get out there and do D2W8 of c25k!

May 10, 2021 - 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)

Round 157 Goals: 80oz water; row 30 mins, most days; free-weights; eat vegetables/fruit; IF most days; no sugar; Calorie/Carb cycle between 1000 to 1900 calories each day with an average between 1200 - 1500.

SW: 170.0

I WILL hit the 160's this round!

7/27 - 169.8

7/28 - 169.7 - IF 18 hrs - my next short-term goal is 162 lbs. You know how different weights are stuck in your head from different times in your life - whether up or down. 162 is the next weight that's stuck in my head. I worked really hard to get all my weight off before going 'home' to Atlanta for my nephew's wedding about 8 years ago. As always, my expectations for the amount of weight I could lose in 2 months were way off (and as it got closer and time was running out, I ate more). I worked from home so I did not have a dress that fit so had to buy a new one. I remember saying after the wedding that I would go back home and work hard to get it all off. Instead, the pressure of trying to lose it so fast, and as I always do after traveling, I ate for days, which led to weeks, which led to months, which led to me hitting the 180's again. I've fluctuated between the 170's and 180's since then but have never hit 162 again. So here goes...I WiLL do it this time!!

Round 157: SW 165.8, EW

SW: 179.2
GW: 150.00


Day/Weight/Comment
7/21 165.8 -- Way up from my last weigh-in and feeling disappointed. I think it’s mainly water weight but I haven’t seen this number in over a year.
7/22 165.6 -- Still not great. I went running last night and didn’t drink as much water as I should have to recoup but did stay under calories for the day.
7/23 165.6 -- This is surprising because I had two beers and take-out after run club but at least it’s not a gain.
7/24 164.2 -- A loss!
7/25 No weigh-in
7/26 164.1 -- Happy to see this amount stayed after the weekend!
7/27 165.2 -- I went out last night had had two alcoholic drinks and salty food so I’m not surprised to see a jump.
7/28 165.4 -- This is not my week because I have too many plans out at restaurants. If this is the only bump that 1.5 margaritas and some chips will give me then I will take it. I did a very intense workout on Saturday so I have been taking it easy since then and not doing much else.

Jeez, calories, just go away! Really cool this morning, so I’m off to do some garden work and then go for a walk.

Same old, same old….

My creativity group met yesterday—chicken salad on croissants and peach cobbler. All delish, all calorie bombs. I didn’t eat dinner but did have popcorn later, so…. Back on track today.

7/24 - 189.6 - 1680
Ah, there’s Thursday’s lunch. Yesterday was better but not where I want to be.

7/25 - 188.4 - 1059
That’s better. It’s hot hot hot today, but not bad right now in the shade. Have a lovely Sunday. Here are some flowers for you from my garden.

7/26 - 187.8 - 1149
Doing better with calories and control. Today is DH’s birthday so special dinner, but I have a plan to control the day’s total. I want to maintain this trend!

7/27 - 188.8 - 2022
Ok, the control plan tanked. The food I ordered for lunch had WAY more calories than I realized until after I ate it. I actually ate half, and am passing the other half to DH today while I get back on plan. Some of the uptick is salt, so all good.

My 40th birthday is rapidly approaching (21.days) and I am at a standstill in weight loss. I’ll continue to try but I need something to change things up. Good rest, a new workout routine, something that will work. The childcare at my gym is not opening until September so gym time is limited.

@starrjulia8 - so sorry to hear you are having such sad news to contend with, sending you comforting hugs
