Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 162
Replies
-
Thank you @quiltingjaine !! 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!)
Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk most days. Focus on getting enough vegetables.
Next short-term goal:
169....168....167....166....165....164....163....162.X
SW (9/08): 165.9
9/09: 164.8 - Good riddance to 165.x, finally! I've been 165.x for 2 weeks. I would love to hit my next short-term goal this 10 days - we shall see. Rowed 30 min. 80 oz water.
9/10: 164.5
9/11: 164.2 - It's nice to be dropping again.
9/12: 164.0
9/13: 163.9
9/14: 163.9 - Glad to see weight stayed the same after popcorn (air popped) with butter and too much salt. I love popcorn and it's a good snack to have if I don't add so much salt. I drank lots of water and rowed, and was still within my calorie range.
9/15: 163.9 - Okay, let's see how many days I can stick 163.9. I'll take it since I'm still 163.x!
9/16: 163.4 The number on the scale is exciting to see but what really motivates me at the moment is when I go all day long in a pair of pants that are now starting to fall off!!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!8 -

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.
**Comments apply to previous day**
SW RND 162 117.0
9/9 117.0 AF My 1700th day on MFP! Even if we are cruising and consequently no internet, I make a daily entry on my phone - or on paper, and count those days.
9/10 117.0 AF My scale has received a telepathic message from all of yours. It said 111.5 3 times! I knew that wasn’t right! Moved it and tried again.
9/11 118.0 The lunch date with my DH was worth every ounce! 1/2# burger with 3 cheeses. I even ate the bun and some onion rings. Not AF as we visited neighbors and he had a snifter of Jack Daniels poured for me when we arrived. Not worried. 😋
9/12 117.5 AF We had a wonderful evening at an outdoor production of “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” at Super Summer Theater with neighbors last night. 8:20am
9/13 118.0 Adult beverage and a handful of corn chips, hung out with neighbors on the driveway. Foot/shin cramps during the night
9/14 118.0 No foot cramps last night. Feel as if I slept well. Oskar and I are closed in the sewing room. He’s not happy. We are having a security door installed this morning. We may also get a new peephole that is low enough for me to look through without a step up. The problem with being short!
9/15 118.0 Went to Buffet@Asia yesterday-way too many carbs and not enough protein led me to eating a hamburger patty at 6:30 followed by Quest protein chips. I’m going to try to fast today but I’m not sure I have my head around it. It really IS a head game!
9/16 118.0 Sliders last night at community bingo. Egg salad or chicken salad on King’s Hawaiian rolls. Sweet bread does NOT belong with either of those. Maybe 1T of filling in each. I should have taken my own protein.6 -

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
9/9 202.3 Walked 4 miles, Strength Class 1 hr, 1357 cal, 91 net carbs, AF. Didn’t accomplish much today outside of menu planning, groceries, cooking, and exercising … oh and reading “This Tender Land” by William Kent Krueger and listening to “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune. Headed to the fishing camp today for a long food & drink weekend where exercise is challenging. Before I leave planning to attend strong & fit strength class this morning.
9/10 203.7 @ fishing camp 🎣 Strength Class 1 hr, no walking, 5 hrs in the car, 1599 cal, 139 net carbs, not enough water. 1.5 bottles of Michelob Ultra at the Community BBQ event hosted by one of the resort camps and held at Dirty Reds outside bar … get to know your neighbors (free brisket & beer)
9/11 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.4 miles, fishing … caught 21.5” & 23” Redfish, 1405 cal, 68 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
9/12 204.2 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3 miles, fished, 1872 cal, 107 net carbs, AF.
9/13 204.7 Walked 3 miles, long 5 hr car drive, 1657 cal, 157 net carbs, AF. Expected rain this week with Tropical Storm Nicholas.
9/14 203.2 Walked 1.3 miles, rain, Strength Class 1 hr via Zoom since Tropical Storm/ Hurricane Nicholas expected, 1774 cal, 135 net carbs, AF.
9/15 203.1 Walked 3.2 miles, 1674 cal, 182 net carbs, 1 glass wine & pizza. Electricity was off all day but we are fine!
9/16 204.1 Walked 4.5 + 1 miles, 1845 cal, 117, 2 margaritas on the rocks. Book club met at a Mexican restaurant. My downfall … I’ve not been out to eat Mexican food and drink margaritas in a very long time. Put that with a group of ladies that enjoy “discussions” and it was a fun evening but filling!

Should be lower tomorrow or next day.
🎉Day 2: 9/15 72.3 159.06 🌸 VERY HAPPY
My system worked yesterday!! I wrote down everything I was going to eat on a piece of paper on kitchen counter, and recorded fiber protein sodium & calories for each. Doing so BEFORE I ate anything helped me realize what was too salty or would throw my protein or calories too high. Also entered it in my phone app. I didn’t feel so great as I dipped water, walked tons, and kept busy Decluttering…body WAS NOT happy with the overeating from 9/14 & the change was particularly apparent this morning.I feel much better. On my walk, I realized my body feels MUCH better with sodium under 1500mg. So now that’s a “want to” not a “have to”!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/9--207.6 Trainer day today.
9/10--208.5 Uptick is probably from the soreness I have this morning after working out with trainer yesterday. Puppy has 2nd training lesson today. We saw so much improvement after her first lesson.
9/11--208.1 Not enough protein yesterday, so will work on that today. Puppy did so well yesterday and now we have more tools to work on her jumping. Hairdresser today.
9/12--208.5 Way too much candy yesterday and feeling a little gross today. Near my hairdresser there is this really cute old fashioned candy story that I went to yesterday and got some candy. Ate too much of the candy yesterday. Luckily, I don't visit my hairdresser that often. I really need to get my water today. Trainer day today.
9/13--208.5 Low-key day today. Going to take dog out for a long walk to help with the soreness from my workout yesterday. Goals for today are water and protein.
9/14--208.1
9/15--208.7 Went to the movies yesterday and some movie popcorn, so not surprised about the uptick.
9/16--209.6 Probably uptick from movies. Trainer day today.

71 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
Kicked the uneven sidewalk...landed on my face...messed up my right knee, calf and ankle. No walking for a while.

Round 162 (94th for me) . I really need this to help keep me on track, particularly over the next 2 weeks!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – Friday we are off for our main 2 weeks holiday, no flying abroad this year (due to Covid), we shall be taking our touring caravan, so for the major part I will be responsible for both choosing & providing food, so hope to come back at least the same as today, a loss will be a bonus – any loss will be a win! But still aware we shall be on holiday so will be indulging in an occasional treat – note to self “an occasional treat” !! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” 2 months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public 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
9/9 134.8 – 10 miles walked yesterday. I failed the iron test when I went to give blood; one more point down & I would have been referred to my GP, I feel I do have a balanced diet with sufficient iron (MFP shows that too!), I went on a bit of a chocolate feast when I got home Why ??!! So plans to increase iron in diet now in hand.
9/10 137.2 – why am I so greedy, why do I keep stuffing my face? Why do I let food take over my life? I need to take back control NOW !! If this high avoidable spike is not a wake up call then what is! 8 days to pull this back, I want to do it ! I am going to do it ! Today is a new day, lets go.
9/11 136.2 - as you can see had a better food day, stuck to plan. 9.79 miles walked yesterday, feeling more in control, just need to stay that way!! On our way to the south coast for our holiday, feeling positive!!
9/12 134.2 - back to end of last round weight 👏, good day yesterday, despite travelling to camp site, setting up and erecting awning we still managed to walk almost 7 miles in the late afternoon before our BBQ. Stayed in control.
9/13. 134.2 - just over 12 miles walked yesterday, calories and macros in credit, had a toffee crunch ice cream as a treat - delicious!
9/14. 133.2 - lovely! 9.77 miles walked yesterday, half of the circular walk on the SW coastal path 129 floors. Food well within limits.
9/15. 133.6 - 9 miles walked yesterday. Food very good, feeling in control and happy.
9/16 134 - Hoping that's the sodium in last night's gammon steak, although delicious it did taste salty! 9.65 miles walked yesterday. 43rd wedding anniversary so we intend eating out for lunch in Salcombe, but will walk there and back. Would like to end in the 133s, but it'll be what it'll be!! 2 days to go!
9/17. 135.6 - well we did celebrate! 2 halves of cider, crab with crusty bread & fries, followed by delicious clotted cream ice cream, and cheese, crackers & port for evening meal!! Hopefully it won't stick if I'm good today. 12.5 miles walked along the beautiful coastal path to get to and from Salcombe where we ate. Thank you all for the congrats.

Last round I managed to break through a stall in weight loss, I think the walking is really paying off and I feel much more energetic. I will try to keep it up this week but I have some physically hard days coming up with fitting my new kitchen and building a faux brick wall so may be quite exhausted, we'll see...
9/09 - 160.2 STEPS? SLEEP 7hrs23m
Well that's strange, 2lbs up in one day! I've had a very stressful couple of days with teenager drama (cortisol) plus had bread with dinner (carbs) which usually causes water weight for me. Also didn't get much walking done yesterday so that's most likely why. Not sure if I should change my RGW or stick with it and hope for the best.
9/10 - 158.2 STEPS 9,959 SLEEP?
I started off my day with a 3 mile walk first thing and it really gave me a boost of energy, spent the rest of the day buzzing and got loads of stuff done. In the evening we went out to a new bar in town. I ended up at about 2000 cals yesterday so I'm gonna have to be strict this weekend. OH has to go to India today for a family emergency so I'm gonna be on my own for 2 weeks. I can really focus on myself and building some healthy habits.
9/11 - 159.4 STEPS 6,640 SLEEP 6hrs32m
Big ol' carb binge yesterday for no particular reason. Got out for a short walk first thing then drove OH to the airport, got back home and spent the rest of the day snacking. Was I worried? Bored? Self sabotaging? I wasn't hungry and didn't even enjoy it... no idea. Feeling really bloated today so I'm gonna eat lots of salad and try to get a decent walk in. OH missed his connecting flight and is stuck in Delhi for 13hrs, poor thing!
9/12 - 158.0 STEPS? SLEEP?
I fought off carb cravings all day yesterday and came in a little over my cals as I didn't record any exercise but I drank loads of water to flush things through. Probably had too much salt, didn't seem to cause an issue for me, still had a big water weight drop. Getting really behind on my steps, better get a big walk in today
9/13 - 157.2 STEPS 12,163 SLEEP 7hr8m
Nice to see that number 7 again for the first time in 10 days. I'm trying to get more fibre in my diet as I've been feeling bloated, not easy on a lowish carb low cal diet, I have just ordered some psyllium husk tablets, hope they help. I went for a 5 mile evening walk yesterday which ended in tragedy as I came across a beautiful little cat that had just been hit by a car, I held it as it died, poor thing 💔
9/14 - 156.6 STEPS 18,213 SLEEP 7hr28m
Finally feel like I'm starting to get somewhere with my weight loss after a slow period, yay! I've been drinking a lot more water these last few days, which might be key. I left going for my walk until a bit too late yesterday, setting off at 6.30pm, then I got carried away and did a 7 mile walk on a new route, which meant I found myself stumbling through fields and woods in the dark miles from home trying not to freak out, a bit stupid of me really, won't be doing that again! My sleep is slipping so I need to get to bed earlier. Wet and gloomy day here so if I want to get my steps in I may have to brave the gym, yuck!
9/15 - 156.6 STEPS 7,914 SLEEP 6hr6m
Not much to report for yesterday, managed to get a decent walk in but then spent the rest of the day being lazy. I have a big project to start so I'm procrastinating. Got lots of fluids in which is maybe why my sleep suffered as I got up a few times and woke at 5am. Really glad to still be at this weight today, 3 more days to lose 0.1lb to get to goal!
9/16 - 156.6 STEPS 11,018 SLEEP 6hr52m
Tried out a new 5 mile walking route yesterday morning, all on hard surfaces which is better for the wetter seasons we have ahead and also better for trying to improve my speed and stamina. Found that by swinging my arms more I'm able to propel myself forward faster and don't have to slow much for hills. Battling boredom eating because I've been home alone for the last week and will be for another week, glad I've got my cats for company! Sleep still not great but I don't feel tired so not too worried. Same weight for the last 3 days, what will tomorrow bring?
9/17 - 155.2 STEPS 11,062 SLEEP 7hr29
Did the same 5 mile route as yesterday and managed to shave 30 seconds off my minutes per mile average. The good thing about being active in the morning is you can actually feel your metabolism has been ramped up for the rest of the day. Chuffed to bits to see 1.4lb drop over night after 3 days at the same weight! Nice to know that my fat cells have released water and are shrinking.

Pre-round SW on 8 Sept 21: 232.6 lbs
Round goals: work out at least 20 mins every day, drink 2 litres water daily, fast 16 hours a day
Round GW: 229 lbs so that I can scratch off the 230’s
Day/Weight/Comment:
9/9 – 234 lbs – ate more than I planned to yesterday but stuck to my exercise and water goals. Feeling re-focused!
9/10 – 232.8 lbs – although I didn’t stick to the plan yesterday, I still came in under calorie goal so I'm happy with that. I also met my exercise, water, and fasting goals.
9/11 – 233.6 lbs - No surprise here. Friday is always a weak spot for me and last night was no different, big carb binge! But I didn’t drink any alcohol and that was a win. Also met my water and exercise goals. Gotta try to do better for the rest of the weekend!
9/12 – 232 lbs – Went to bed around 6pm without dinner as I wasn’t feeling well so this is probably not a real loss but happy to see this number all the same. Didn’t work out either and only drank around 1 litre of water.
9/13 – 231.8 lbs – Yesterday could have been better but happy with this number. Didn’t exercise or meet my water goals but it’s the first time in a long time that I have gone the whole weekend without alcohol which is great. Can’t believe we’re already half way through this challenge!
9/14 – 230.4 lbs – Did well yesterday with food, water and exercise. Want to work on not using my exercise calories for the rest of the challenge.
9/15 – 229.8 lbs - Yay, I can scratch off the 230’s!! So happy!! Did well yesterday with food, water and exercise and didn’t give in to my intense craving for brownies haha
9/16 – 229.9 lbs – I had a takeaway last night. Back to healthy eating for the rest of the week!
9/17 – 228.8 lbs – Met my round goal! Ate really healthy yesterday and did a good workout.
9/18
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Akron, Ohio
OSW: 186 (March 2018)
Maintenance: 140-145 (December 2018)
My 123rd Round!
Still trying to get back down to maintenance. It's really surprising how the extra 3 to 4 pounds I've been carrying the past few months has changed how my clothes fit and how I feel. I've had just enough stress to snack too much and not be mindful of getting back to maintenance. Things are looking up for my family health wise, so it's now time to focus back on my health.
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
9/09 - 147 - Calories were good and took a long walk with the dog and husband.
9/10 - 147 - I'm holding myself accountable to track all my food this weekend.
9/11 - 147.5 - Just a bounce, but my supper tonight will probably show up tomorrow. Plenty of carbs and salt.
9/12 - 146.5 - Okay, so last night's supper will probably show up tomorrow. But it's nice to see this number today.
9/13 - 146 - My husband started his 3 mile run yesterday morning and had a bad calf strain after a mile and had to come limping home. He wanted to take the dog on a mile walk in the park with me in the afternoon, so halfway through that walk I was distracted by an ambulance stopping at a neighbor's house and managed to step in a hole. I heard my ankle crunch as I went down. Luckily, no breaks but we looked like the walking wounded taking the dog back home. I'll have to reduce my eating to compensate for the lack of steps this week.
9/14 - 146 - My ankle was pretty sore yesterday, so I didn't even manage 4,000 steps, but it already feels better this morning, so I'm hoping to get more movement in today.
9/15 - 145 - Although I expect a bounce tomorrow, I am so happy because I've not seen this weight for 3 months. Weighing and logging all my food is key for me to stay on track.
9/16 - 146 - Although I was a little disappointed, I was expecting to be up a little this morning. It's OK, my trend weight is lower than it has been for a while. I need to stay focused on moving and my eating.
9/17 - 146 - My ankle started bothering me again yesterday. I guess I re-aggravated it when I started trying to get all my steps in for the day. I'll just keep tracking my food and water.

36YO F on my second round! I once tipped the scales at 395. I’ve done a lot of hard work with IF to get to where I am now, and came to MFP to finally see my goal come to fruition. These 10 day challenges are great. I can do anything for 10 days!
SW: 223.4
UGW: 150lbs
Challenge goals: lose as many lbs as I can! Stay under 100g net carbs. Get my exercise in!
9/9 223.4- Ended the day yesterday with 80g net carbs, plenty of water, and got my strength training in. I’m a bit upset this morning as I’m UP by 1.8lbs from yesterday, despite staying pretty perfectly on plan. I have no explanation aside from some still lingering PMS effects?! It’s been 9 days of this now though, and I’m tired of it. Blah. Still, I rise.
9/10 223.4- No loss, but no gain either. Got a Peloton ride in last night. 63g net carbs. Everything done just as it should be. Eventually the scale will catch up.
9/11 Camping 🏕 DNW had a successful day yesterday. Got my strength training session in before lunch yesterday, which means I did not make excuses to skip it like I did last time we left on a Friday to go camping! I didn’t get all of my steps in for the day, but I did manage to finish the day with 69g net carbs, even with some rice at dinner. Overall, I’m feeling good, and it’s nice to have a small break from the scale too.
9/12 Camping 🏕 DNW Had another great day. I made a plan for this weekend, and I stuck to it. There really is value in preplanning my meals, especially in cases such as a weekend away camping. I’ll definitely be doing it for every camping trip here on out. Net carbs were 63g for the day, and we got some walking in so I hit my step goal. I feel way less bloated today, so I’m positive tomorrow the scale will show some downward movement for a change!
9/13 221.0 Woohoo! The bloat is mostly gone! Time to make some big progress before it strikes again! Yesterday was a great day- 64 net carbs and got my steps in. Bring on the week! I’m ready!
9/14 219.2 FINALLY! I’ve been waiting to see 219 for two weeks!! Had a great day yesterday, obviously. Did both a strength training session and a 35 minute Peloton ride, and finished yesterday with 53 net carbs. Next mini goal: 210!
9/15 218.0 Yay! It feels so good to be past that hormonal stall. Had a great day yesterday- Pelo ride done, 51 net carbs, lots of water, and hit my step goal. Today is pizza day for dinner, so I’m already planning out my food to make sure I keep under 100 net carbs without missing out on the pizza, and it’s looking good. Bring on this day!
9/16 219.0 I know the uptick is due to two factors: 1- I ate more carbs yesterday (81 net) than I’ve been lately. The pizza was totally worth it though. And 2- I was on my feet almost the entire day, working in the kitchen. Historically, doing so has always led to some swelling in my calves and ankles. That it was only a single pound this time is a win in and of itself. It’s usually 2-5lbs! I did get my strength training in, and I also decided to increase my daily step goal by 1,000. I hit that too. Overall it was a successful day, even if the scale can’t see it! On to today, and less carbs!
9/17 218.6 Glad to see the drop this morning. I still spent a good few hours on my feet in the kitchen yesterday, so I’m sure I’ve got a little more water hanging on- I can see it in my ankles! Tomorrow though? Tomorrow it should be gone! Had a great day yesterday regardless- 59 net carbs, 37 minutes on the Pelo, and hit my step goal. Now to rock today. Let’s do this!

Thank you @quiltingjaine !! 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!)
Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk most days. Focus on getting enough vegetables.
Next short-term goal:
169....168....167....166....165....164....163....162.X
SW (9/08): 165.9
9/09: 164.8 - Good riddance to 165.x, finally! I've been 165.x for 2 weeks. I would love to hit my next short-term goal this 10 days - we shall see. Rowed 30 min. 80 oz water.
9/10: 164.5
9/11: 164.2 - It's nice to be dropping again.
9/12: 164.0
9/13: 163.9
9/14: 163.9 - Glad to see weight stayed the same after popcorn (air popped) with butter and too much salt. I love popcorn and it's a good snack to have if I don't add so much salt. I drank lots of water and rowed, and was still within my calorie range.
9/15: 163.9 - Okay, let's see how many days I can stick 163.9. I'll take it since I'm still 163.x!
9/16: 163.4 The number on the scale is exciting to see but what really motivates me at the moment is when I go all day long in a pair of pants that are now starting to fall off!!
9/17: 163.3
9/18:
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/09 - 238.1 Not too surprised by a slight increase with my food intake yesterday. Working 12 hour days and still getting a T25 workout and walking the dogs in the evening. Now that MFP says I'm 51% to my goal I'm more motivated than ever. Only 49% to go!
09/10 - 238.5 Again, not overly surprised. Chinese for lunch and then a hearty dinner followed by no trips to the bathroom... Anyway got a great ab workout in this morning and plan on a nice walk tonight headed into the weekend! Here's to a drop come Monday.
09/11 - 239.6
09/12 - 239.2
09/13 - 237.9 Finally got back down but still not down to the end of the last round and the round goal is far away. I'm in the last week of T25 Alpha round so I have 3 rounds of the hardest workout this week so hopefully that helps. I also bought shoes for our Peloton bike so I can get some extra workouts in. Just have to remember I'm doing everything right and the numbers will come when they're ready.
09/14 - 237.7 It's starting to feel like this will be a flat round with only 4 days to go and that's okay! Some rounds have big losses and some rounds smaller. I'm just learning to take these flat days/weeks as mental health time to reflect on being in a better place than I was 4.5 months ago. Only had T25 abs this morning so if I don't get up and moving at work today I may hop on the Peloton and get that extra burn.
09/15 - 236.8 My first day down in weight this round! Definitely got some help from my second round of T25 Total Body. No matter how many times I do that workout, it'll knock me out. Burned 400 calories in 25 minutes and feeling great. Today is my last long day at work for a few weeks so the rest of the week I can get Peloton rides AND T25 in hopefully. I have a 5:30am Peloton ride scheduled for Saturday and I'm pretty psyched.
09/16 - 236.1 My scale wanted to say 235.9. It was teetering between the two numbers and I tried to coax it downwards but no luck. Still have a slight possibility of 235 but I'm fine either way, I'm ahead of the pace I need to be 100 lbs down by Christmas. Tomorrow is my last day of T25 Alpha. I've never completed all 5 weeks so this feels weird. Nervous to start the Beta round but if I'm not pushing myself, I'm not getting better.
09/17 - 235.9 A bit of a skewed number vs yesterday. I didn't do my T25 this morning because my body was not feeling it. I did a Peloton fitness test last night and it crushed me. I'll either to T25 or Peloton tonight depending on how I feel. It's crazy how, even though I'm able to get through T25 every day, biking hits other muscles and knocks me out. Just means there's a lot of room for improvement in that area and I'm ready to start working on it.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
Round 162
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
9/9: 204.2
Quite the yoyo. Thankful for the lows. Getting excited about my northern Wisconsin fishing trip. In the past, this has also been an eating trip. We all bring food to share. We have talked about de-emphasizing that aspect of things this year. Talk is cheap.
9/10: 204.6
It’s Friday! Starting tomorrow, the more the fish are biting, the less I will be biting.
9/11: releasing the Kraken! I named my old fishing boat “the Kraken.”

Back at it! This reading is amazing considering…..
Had a great time with uncles and cousin on the trip. Not a lot of salad consumed. Ha! Went up there for crappie and caught some but nowhere near the limit. I did boat a very nice walleye that hit my crappie bait.
Pumpkin Festival starts today.
I will try try catch up with the 135 posts I missed. 😊
9/16: 207.6
AAAAAnd there is the Pumpkin Festival food tent showing up. Luckily I was able to burn a few calories by smiling at my 4 year old DGS while he did a few carnival rides.
9/17: 207.4
Amazed that there was a drop, all things considered.

The “new puppy diet” seems to be working. Actually what’s working is the photo of me & DH with the puppy when he arrived. I’m so fat! I seem to have stopped evening snacking cold turkey. A bit of “fizzy water” fools me into thinking I’ve had something.
9/11 - 185.4 (185.4) - 1048
I love it when weight and running average converge. Enjoy your Saturday!
9/12 - 184.2 (184.9) - 1141
I took Rory for his first tracking session yesterday and he did great. Tracking (following human scent trails) is great exercise for both of us — right now he’s doing very short tracks, of course, but soon the tracks will be longer. I train with a friend, so in addition to walking behind Rory when he’s tracking, I walk tracks for my friend’s dog to follow. We’d do tracks two or three times a week. That plus lots of puppy walks and obedience training will get my butt in gear! Am I blathering about my puppy? Yes, yes I am! 😁
9/13 - 184.2 (184.6) - 1140
Funnily enough, after a week of no snacks at night (or any time), I’m no longer hungry at night. Yay! Now if I can keep it up….
9/14 - 184.4 (184.3) - 1248
I take that back. I was hungry last night and indulged in some chocolate fudge ice cream. But that will do me for a while, and I’m skipping breakfast this morning — not particularly hungry. 😁
9/15 - 184.4 (184.2) - 1046
I’ve no idea why my running average is lower than my weight, but who am I to argue with Happy Scale?
9/16 - 184.4 (184.1) - 1321
Keeping on….
9/17 - 184.2 (184) - 1253
I’m finding I have much more self control about snacking than I’ve had in a long time. Last night I really wanted something to munch on, but I didn’t give in and the feeling passed. Yay!

9/09 - 229.4 (-.2) Working out at Orange Theory Fitness today. I love these challenges. They keep me motivated and moving forward. Wishing everyone a fabulous next ten days.
9/10 - 229.2 (-.4) Yesterday was my indulgence meal, pizza. Making a long story as short as possible, instead of eating the three pieces I usually eat, I stopped at one and a half pieces. It was a huge disappointment. I love this pizza from one of my favorite places and this time it was a mushy mess. I was mad. What a waste of an indulgence meal. So what did I do? Continue to eat the rest of the evening. It was probably my worst eating day since I started this journey and I was fully expecting to get up and weigh in five pounds more this morning. I was kicking myself all night and my stomach was upset on top of it. I had failed. What mind games! It’s one day out of one hundred maybe? I logged everything (almost 3000 calories). Lucky I don't keep junk food around or it could have been worse. I expect a bump in the next few days, but I’m getting back on track today. Swimming is on the agenda.
9/11 - 229.2 (-.4) While I was swimming yesterday, I thought about the mind games of losing weight. I seem to panic on and off and I think that’s because I wonder, after many failures at losing and regaining, is this the beginning of doing that all over again? I’m determined that this time, things are going to be different. That’s why I’m in this challenge and active on the forums. I’m not in this journey alone and there are so many successful people cheering us on and offering us real life examples of what worked for them. I’m going to trust the process and keep moving forward. Thanks for the great support!
9/12 - 229.8 (+.2) There’s the bump I’ve been expecting. Limited exercise yesterday and no hiking today, with my sister out of town. I'm taking my dogs to a "Doggie Plunge" today as a fundraise for Freedom Service Dogs. After they close the waterpark for the year after Labor Day, it's used for the dogs to play in before they drain it. So much fun!!
9/13 - 228.2 (-1.4) In my head, getting under 230 is a big deal for me. The next mind goal is losing more than 40 pounds (221) and then weighing under 216. There are sometimes odd mini-goals that mean something big to us individually for a variety of reasons. For this week, I’m celebrating weighing under 230. After that, I’m focusing on losing 41!!
9/14 - 228.2 (-1.4) Today I’m back to the pool and then to my art studio to paint. It’s going to be a good day.
9/15 - 226.6 9 (-2.8) I’ve been focusing on getting my water in, staying under my calories goals and solid exercise. This was a nice surprise this morning.
9/16 - 226.4 (-3.0) Yesterday was really busy with no organized exercise. I didn’t get all my water in either. Today I’ll be swimming and focusing on getting all my ounces in.
9/17 - 226.6 (-2.8) A great swim yesterday. Another busy day where I ate up to my exercise calories. Today is my indulgence meal. I haven’t decided yet what I want yet. Another ten day challenge almost done…time flies. 5
