Just Give Me 10 days - Round 170

@topathemorning I was looking for one of @tiabirdie56’s recipes and had to scroll back by individual pages from 18 to 1, I knew it was on page 1. I’m sure they used to leave 1 at the beginning and unless they have changed it this week, it’s annoying. I have never had any luck searching for ANYTHING on MFP3

@deepwoodslady,
This is my first round and I hadn't been able to read the post until now.
My condolences on the loss of your brother. I wish you peace and comfort at this time, along with your family. To have family with him as he left this world, must have been a great comfort for him. Know that you were a good sister to him, when he really needed it most. 💐5 -
I skipped a few rounds and of course some of the weight came back. Goal weight is around 170 and then go from there. Starting weight is 212 (was 200.8). My scale actually broke yesterday so I’ve got a new one coming tomorrow. On better meds, more Prozac and now Adderall so hopefully no more anxiety episodes. Need to lose weight so I can keep taking Adderall ha.

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days12/3 121.8 Did not post.
11/28 121ish I think it was. I’m not sure if weight creep is happening or if it’s just water retention from the strength training/running at a higher level/where I’m at in my cycle/Thanksgiving splurges. This week I’m going to focus on my protein intake and reducing my sodium intake. All of the Thanksgiving leftovers are just about out of the fridge which is a good thing/I’m sick of the thought of even eating any. I indulged a little too much over the past few days with pumpkin and apple pie but that is now out of the way and I’m looking forward to having a good week.
Started the day with some toast and dandelion tea to help flush out some bloat and also upped the water. I made some cranberry sauce oat bars but have already shared half with my in-laws, had one for lunch with plain yogurt, and then froze the other 4 servings to have in the future. I find if baked goods are in the freezer, I am more likely to eat them more sporadically versus having them out. So, if I have a day where I can splurge on 400 calories (like my long run days), I will happily enjoy it. The good thing about the bars is that they are filled with healthy fats from the hazelnut meal and butter and a touch of fiber as well, so they are quite satisfying.
11/29 ? Not completely sure of my weight this morning. Ran 6 miles this morning and did my strength workout on my lunch. Food was good all day. Breakfast was toast and eggs, lunch was a protein shake plus an apple and peanut butter yogurt dip, dinner was pork tenderloin with roasted Brussel sprouts, fennel bulb and leftover fiber gourmet pasta with a touch of butter and Trader Joe’s cheesy seasoning blend. I decided that at least during the week I am going to cut a little bit of calories to slowly work my way back down to 114 over the next few months. I like that weight and know I’ll be able to get back to that point again or at least that size even if I weigh a little more because muscle takes up less space than fat… If I’m doing all this work to strength train, I would like to be able to see the definition at a leaner size. I should be able to go back to cutting 200 calories a day relatively easy on the days I strength train because I burn over 700 activity calories. Then on just my running days, I’ll cut 100-150 calories. Even with the cutting I will make sure I prioritize protein and make sure I get at least 100-120g per day.
Also will start tracking grams of protein here daily: 142g today.
11/30 121.something Feel good today. Accidentally ran longer than expected this morning clocking in at 6.8 miles because I miscalculated how far away from home I was during my run. Tomorrow will be a 5 mile run most likely. Food has been good today and I will be at 160 g of protein after I finish my chili for dinner tonight.
12/1 122.2 pre workout. Hoping this uptick drops soon. In general I feel good though and don’t feel like my body has gotten larger. I tried on a pair of my jeans and they still fit well, so that was a good thing and made me realize that I haven’t gained in the wrong places. I got a 5.6 mile run done this morning and a strength workout on lunch.
12/2 Got a solid 6 mile run in this morning with a few faster miles in at the end. Food was good yesterday but dinner ended up being salty even though I was within calories plus a 200 cal deficit, so it blew my weight up this morning. Protein clocked in at 119 grams and today will be 118.
12/4 121.4 I think it was. Happy to see some sort of drop. I got a slow run in yesterday but ended up doing too much and am now resting my knee for at least 4 days… I don’t think I kept up with stretching as much as I should have after my runs and I paid the price. On the bright side I was still able to do a nice 60 minute spin bike ride this morning without irritating my knee. Then I stretched for like 20 minutes afterwards. Food was good yesterday even though we got Thai for dinner last night. I chose a ginger chicken dish that was chicken, veggies and a ginger sauce with brown rice on the side. It was pretty satisfying and didn’t kill me with the sodium either because I only had a minimum amount of the sauce. Today my husband was craving chicken parm and I wanted pesto chicken with pasta. I ended up making my own pesto chicken and got takeout for him and was able to resist the take out which I see as a win. The kale cashew pesto from Trader Joes is so good and easy to toss with some Fiber Gourmet pasta and roasted chicken breast and topped with some freshly grated parmesan cheese. It was still a high cal meal but I was able to control the amounts and I still have 550 calories leftover for dinner tonight. I think we’re getting our Christmas tree today or tomorrow, so that’ll be fun!

28: 214.8 🥚Good start for the round. Football game this afternoon, so possibly an increase tomorrow depending on where I watch the game and who I'm with.
29: 213.8 🥚 Watched the game alone at home, so it was super easy to stay on track. Rounding out ovulation week tomorrow, so this should be my strong round before heading into the other spike of the hormonal weight gain cycle. Looking forward to seeing what I can accomplish!
30: DNW Had to be up and out the door super early this morning. Went out to eat last night with a couple friends. Managed to stay within my calories, carbs, and IF window. Feel a little bloated today. Guessing it's from the grilled jumbo shrimp, but only because I can't think of any other possible culprit.

4: I'm really struggling. I've been off my fairly new, but effective, routine for a few days because of my coordinator role for a school fundraiser. Pretty sure I've also missed a couple of my med doses. Haven't been tracking food or exercising. Not quite sticking to my IF schedule. Most likely gaining weight. The fundraiser event was today, so I'm hoping I can muster enough energy to get back on track tonight or tomorrow morning. Feeling like I'm having hormone induced emotional sensitivity, but it's several days early for that.

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass. My strength programming is 6x/week and I’m considering doing doubles twice a week since it’s so hard to fit in a workout when I leave for work at 6am and get home around 8pm 3x a week.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, avoid added sugars, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), add one day of double strength training per week.11/28 151.2 surprisingly stayed the same weight after the Thanksgiving feast yesterday. Cardio for the day 20 minutes of single arm devils press, overhead walking lunges, and box jumps. Reload week on my strength training programming, but still lots of Bulgarian split squats today (the worst move ever). Meal planned and bought groceries for the week. Dinner was sautéed mushrooms and riced broccoli with a balsamic reduction and baked tofu. Protein: 135g
11/29 150.2 woke up with a bit of a head cold, but the weather was lovely! I took a walk, did some a farmers carry step up and rowing workout for some cardio and then a press day for strength. I intended to do double strength today, but felt pretty sickly. Dinner was a bok choy, mushroom, soba stir fry with baked tofu. Protein: 143g
11/30 151.2 still have a cold, but it’s a minor annoyance and not a miserable bug.. Plus it’s during a stretch of 5 days off. Took a walk, did 20 minutes of KB swings, push-ups, wallballs, jump rope, lunges for cardio and then a light pull day. Dinner was spaghetti squash, mushroom, kale, leeks and seitan. Protein: 141
12/1 152.1 cold still lingering but improving. Another day in the 70’s (isn’t it December??), so I’ll take a nice walk. I’ve been double checking my recipes for accuracy since the scale hasn’t been moving but can’t find any discrepancies and I weigh everything to grams 🤷♀️ Rowing, DB snatch, sit-ups for cardio and light leg day for strength. Lunch will be leftovers as always, dinner is roasted cauliflower and chickpeas with a herbed tahini sauce and baked tofu. Protein: 131
12/2 151.8 workday 1/3. Thought the head cold was improving but I had awful sleep and today was rough! Last night’s dinner for lunch. Broccoli edamame fried brown rice and seitan for dinner. Protein: 118
12/3 151.4 workday 2/3. Leftovers for lunch. Roasted eggplant and chickpea pitas with seitan for dinner. Protein: 126
12/4 151.2 workday 3/3. I’m so grateful for my husband who makes whatever recipes I leave for him so that o have good lunches and dinners on my very long days! We have a good leftover lunch/ new dinner cycle going. Roasted carrot and potatoes with lentils and a miso parsley sauce. Protein: 122

Round 170 (102nd for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There is only 27 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 4 pounds for then, that is only 4.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and keeping going. Still feeling better about the dress I want to wear next weekend for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers keep yo-yoing in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but there is still a pandemic, and now a new variant: 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!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 135.2 – only managed 3.56 miles yesterday, Storm Arwen stopped me ! Snow, sleet, high winds which were icy cold – bbrrrrr, hence day was over on calories & carbs & weight!
11/29 133.8 – pleasantly surprised by this number after a high carb low mileage weekend, but will take it! Again wintery weather was against me yesterday, only 4.25 miles walked, hence 25 calories & 88 carbs over.
11/30 133.8 – pleased this number stayed around, 9.5 miles walked yesterday & a good food day, calories well under, carbs 17 over.
12/1 133.8 – 9.11 miles walked yesterday followed by the rest of the day painting in my sisters house, 2 coats of 50/50 paint/water on the fresh plaster on all walls and ceiling in her lounge. Good camaraderie with my sisters whilst we work. Not too a bad food day, she did provide us with a slice of homemade lemon drizzle cake after our jacket potato with chilli, but you know what, it wasn't worth the extra calories!!
12/2 133.8 – 8.86 miles walked yesterday, calories under but 44 carbs over.
12/3 133.4 - 125 & 94 calories & carbs over respectively. A day travelling up to care for my toddler DGS, took him to an animal farm with a soft play area, but no structured walking.
12/4 133 – 10.47 miles walked yesterday, good food day, Tried on my peaky blinders dress last night & also dresses that I plan on wearing for the Christmas & New Year dances. I was very pleasantly surprised with how they all fit and look, my exercise regime; walking and toning & stretching exercises and sticking to the food plan are all worthwhile!!
12/5133.6 – bit disappointed with this, but hoping just normal fluctuation. 9.59 miles walked yesterday. Felt really good in my dress last night, a brilliant night we only sat out a few of the numbers, stayed AF, within calories, carbs 34 over (pizza).

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/28 209.5 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, not tracking food. Chips, pie, and drinks are damaging any success I’m making with good choices at meal time. Burned my hand which was not a good excuse to drink bourbon but I soothed it with Aloe on the hand and a few drinks instead of pain meds. TODAY is a good day to start fresh.
11/29 209.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.5 + .5 miles, fishing, 1404 cal, 123 net carbs, AF.
11/30 209.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing 1437 cal, 103 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes.
12/1 210.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + .5 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 2619 cal, 134 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes. Okay 2 slices of pecan pie did not bode well for weight loss.
12/2 209.7 Walked 1.5 miles, long drive in the car, 1791 cal, 145 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
12/3 209.8 Walked 3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2171 cal, 205 net carbs, AF.
12/4 207.7 Walked 2.7 + 1.3 miles, 1797 cal, 202 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
12/5 208.3 No exercise, shopped with my sister instead and continued decorating for Christmas. 1980 cal, 193 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.

@fmfdfa2020 - how wonderful to be able to live close enough to the ocean to walk there regularly, our nearest is just over 100 miles away.
Hi @musicsax Yes, I feel very lucky to live about 20 mins from the ocean. There's a wonderful walkway by the rocky coast and a small beach that I go to. The walkway is in Ogunquit and runs between the town and Perkins Cove. Your 100 miles isn't too bad though. When I lived in Georgia it was a 5 hour drive. You have some beautiful places you walk too from seeing the pictures you've posted whether it's vacation or near you. Have a glorious Sunday!2 -
May 10, 2021: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever.
Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!

12/04 - 163.6
12/05 - 163.3 - Why does everything lead me to food. The weather report was on and it was talking about a snow storm coming this week maybe and my first thought was, FOOD, I've got to make something good to eat. Today's football, and of course, FOOD. I've just resolved myself to the fact that I'll never do what my Grandmother used to say - eat to live, not live to eat. It's a lifetime in the making so not going to change overnight but I have gotten better about making (and enjoying) healthier food for these occasions.

12/3: DNW. I'll weigh tomorrow, but probably won't have lost anything, but have gained. Was to stressed about surgery, and was kind of mindless about what I was eating. 😔
12/4: 300.8 ⬇️ (-3.8 lbs) What a surprise! 🪅 I was expecting a gain. I'm so happy that it's a loss instead. Haven't weighed in 3 days, and I wasn't really paying attention to what I was eating, that's why I thought it would be a gain. Yay!! 😄 on the loss I am so so happy! I was afraid I'd have to work hard to get the weight I had regained off. 😀💕
12/5: 297.6 ⬇️ (- 3.2 lbs) 🥳 out of the 300s, Finally!. I need to take it one day at a time. Learning not to overeat, when I get stressed/emotional about things. Also, need to be strong over the next few weeks and not allow myself to be tempted by Christmas goodies. (I know it's easier said than done). Lol 😄

Total lbs lost for R170:10 -
Round 170 (102nd for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There is only 27 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 4 pounds for then, that is only 4.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and keeping going. Still feeling better about the dress I want to wear next weekend for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers keep yo-yoing in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but there is still a pandemic, and now a new variant: 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!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

12/5133.6 – bit disappointed with this, but hoping just normal fluctuation. 9.59 miles walked yesterday. Felt really good in my dress last night, a brilliant night we only sat out a few of the numbers, stayed AF, within calories, carbs 34 over (pizza).

@musicsax - I just read your post from yesterday. Wow, that must have felt so good to have your dress fit so well and feel good in it - your hard work and persistence really paid off - that is fabulous! Very inspiring as well. And the dance sounds like so much fun!!!5 -

**************************************
11/28 143.0 (trend 142.7) Not really surprised to see this gain, yesterday was crazy, flying to Portugal and back in one day. We managed to squeeze in a lovely meal and a little walk around the town to see the lights and the monastery.
11/29 142.2 (trend 142.6) Glad to see this coming back down despite indulging in some treats yesterday, I got caught up in seasonal spirit at a cosy pub with a log fire. It was snowing outside and they were selling Christmas trees, we had soup and a few beers, proper hygge vibes!
Then pizza back at home and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on the box. I'm not usually all that interested in Christmas, hubby being a Hindu and my daughter is usually with her dad, but this year feels different, we're all ready to get really into it!
11/30 143.0 (trend 142.7) Had a really lazy day yesterday and didn't drink enough water, plus I was snacky so I'm not that surprised to be up again. Must tighten things up for the next few weeks to get back on track.
12/01 143.0 (trend 142.7) Much more active day, food ok but still not enough water. Spent the day ripping up floorboards so feeling quite achy. Went for a beer in a pub built in 1610, sat by the fire and listened to the landlord's ghost stories, then a walk round the town to see the lights.
Still retaining water I think, totm is coming up so it'll take a while to shift it.
12/02 141.0 (trend 142.5) Really physically demanding day yesterday and was too busy to eat much. Crashed on the sofa in the evening and binged a bit on raisins and peanut butter but I think I needed it. Totm started today, need to avoid the cravings. Nearly finished the kitchen floor and then I can start fitting the cabinets, woot!
12/03 141.8 (trend 142.4)
12/04 142.2 (trend 142.4)
12/05 141.0 (trend 142.2) Haven't updated for a few days, sorry! Need to catch up with everyone's posts. Not been making the best food choices, barely eating in the day and then eating more than I usually would in the evening. I suppose it's OMAD-lite? It might help me maintain short term for December while there's so much temptation about then back to healthy small meals in January. I'll see how it goes.

December
12/1: DNW
12/2: DNW
12/3: DNW. I'll weigh tomorrow, but probably won't have lost anything, but have gained. Was to stressed about surgery, and was kind of mindless about what I was eating. 😔
12/4: 300.8 ⬇️ (-3.8 lbs) What a surprise! 🪅 I was expecting a gain. I'm so happy that it's a loss instead. Haven't weighed in 3 days, and I wasn't really paying attention to what I was eating, that's why I thought it would be a gain. Yay!! 😄 on the loss I am so so happy! I was afraid I'd have to work hard to get the weight I had regained off. 😀💕
12/5: 297.6 ⬇️ (- 3.2 lbs) 🥳 out of the 300s, Finally!. I need to take it one day at a time. Learning not to overeat, when I get stressed/emotional about things. Also, need to be strong over the next few weeks and not allow myself to be tempted by Christmas goodies. (I know it's easier said than done). Lol 😄
