Just Give Me 10 Days -Round 177

musicsax

63 yr young F, 5ft 4
Round 177 (109th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. I'm back ! Been AWOL on an extended (3 generation) family holiday, a belated break for DH's 60th birthday from last year !! Had no scales with me & very patchy internet. Didn't log whilst away, but tried to keep some control & had lots of exercise, with 4 DGC all under the age of 4, we went to adventure playgrounds & swimming at a fun leisure swimming pool and I participated on everything!! I feel refreshed and ready for a new start so I hope to keep the ball rolling!! Aim to lose at least a pound by the end of the round.

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.

2/10 138 – 10.9 miles walked plus an hours yoga. Calories & all macros in credit, good choices all day.
2/11 139.4 – no structured exercise; child minding DGS & took him to soft play. No too good food choices .
2/12 140 – oh dear my resolve was short lived, but this upward spiral has to stop 140 pounds – that's back to 10 stone ! Not been that heavy for over 5 years ! THIS HAS TO STOP ! Clothes will start to become too tight to wear soon! 7.81 miles walked yesterday.



2/13 138.6 – 9.11 miles walked, no mindless grazing yesterday, stayed within calories, but carbs 17g over (pizza within plan). I pre-logged food at breakfast and it worked, plan to do the same each day at least in this round. Too wet to walk today so plan is to go swimming.

2/6 / 178.6 / Nice drop after a big day of exercise yesterday. Going out to the mountains to snowshoe today. Weather is beautiful and we love being so close to such a beautiful spot. Makes outdoor exercising inspiring and helps combat the winter blues. These rounds sure do go fast, don't they? Can't believe another one is kicking off.
2/7 / 181.6 / Fun day yesterday in the mountains followed by pizza and hot chocolate afterwards. Did some light cardio exercise when I got home and used the hot tub. Stomach definitely feels bloated today which is not a feeling I deal with often.
2/8 / 181 / Did a strength test yesterday, rode the Peloton, did some boxing, and walked. Lots of movement! My husband also smoked beef ribs on his charcoal grill. Portion size was small to fit it in but it was very tasty. He is an excellent cook.
2/9 / 180.4 / Feeling pretty sluggish in the mornings this week which is a bummer, but what can you do. I let myself sleep in this morning and started the day with a hot shower. We have dinner out with friends tonight so I've pre-tracked and I'll be eating at maintenance.
2/10 / 177.8 / Turned my mornings around today with a 5 a.m. wake-up and 45 minute Peloton ride before work. I do feel so much better overall. Another supper out tonight with a different set of friends... same plan as yesterday (meal pre-chosen and pre-tracked).
2/11 / 178 / Busy work day and we are off to Banff right after we finish to meet up with an out of town aunt and uncle for dinner and drinks. Got up before work for a 60 minute Peloton ride. Enjoy the weekend!
2/12 / 176.2 / Great night in Banff with family. Drank a bit more than usual but walked to dinner and back... lots of movement in general yesterday. Did a snowshoe today and then came home. Off to take my mom for an overnight staycation in Calgary.

I love Banff, we went out there 16 years ago for a fortnight when DD & BF (now SIL) did their gap year after uni. DD worked at the horse riding ranch taking guests out for rides in the summer & as a waitress at Norquay ski runs in the winter, BF at the canoe docks in summer & booking tours in winter.
I loved everything about Banff; hot springs, gondala up mountain glacier, Canaloupes lake, Lake Louise & the trail up to the tea house & so many more places - wonderful memories.

2/06 - 179, 179.6
Good day yesterday, and my weekly calorie average is below maintenance, so I feel back in control. Sunday is soup day (my goal is to make a different soup every Sunday for a year—we’ll see), so I’m trying to decide…. In January, it was minestrone, mulligatawny, Morrocan harira, and creamy chicken tortilla. Come to think of it, I might have to repeat a few! 😁

2/07 - 179.2, 179.5
I settled on Vegged-out Pumpkin and Back Bean Soup last night. I subbed out one can of black beans for a can of cannellinis, and added half a cup each of green beans and corn. Delish, very low calorie, and very satisfying. I’m enjoying my “soup of the week” routine!

2/08 - 178.8, 179.3
Creeping back down. Now to keep it up. I did snarf some Triscuits last night when I got home from doggy school—skipped dinner and I was hungry. Today all planned. Reading your posts keeps me inspired—thank you!


2/09 - 178.6, 179.1
Another good day yesterday, and I have today’s menu all planned. My “exercise” will be pulling everything out of the walk-in mess, er, closet in my office to set up a new 5-shelf unit I got and then organize everything. I know that sounds thrilling—but it is because I have not had enough shelves and the jumble scares me every time I open the door! Ha!

2/10 - 178.6, 178.9
I keep reminding myself that a no-gain day is a good day, and slow weight loss lasts. 🙂 I’ve been catching up on a bunch of to-dos the past few days. Got my new shelves up and the mess off the floor in my office closet—yay! And I’ve been blocking some knitted items I finished a few months ago but never blocked, including this lace scarf. I’ve also been on a hat kick, aiming for “monthly hats” plus a few others. Here’s my Valentine hat for February. 🧶

2/11 - 177.6, 178.5
Finally! I actually went quite a bit over my calorie goal yesterday, but my weekly average is below, and I’ve found that sometimes a one-day increase pushes a loss, as long as I don’t get carried away. Back on track today.

2/12 - 178.6, 178.5
Okie dokie.

2/13 - 178.6, 178.4
Weird how stuck I get on certain weights. It has to give at some point, and I refuse to go to low-cal or other restrictive extremes—I know it was the very restrictive and very low-cal elimination diet (doctor & nutritionist prescribed) that “helped” me regain so much so fast and is making it much harder than it’s ever been for me to lose. But enough complaining. I’m looking forward to making my “soup of the week” today—potato leek soup! Perfect for a very cold day. Enjoy your Sunday!

Goals:

Goal for round 177 is simple. Track honestly. Plan ahead. Return to exercise daily. I would like to be 134, or less, this round. My hope is to lose and average of 1 pound per round through April, which would put me at 127. I can decide from there if I want to go further like last year where I was averaging 123 for 4+ months.

The “boys”, AKA the cats, Harry and Han Solo, are going to get tracked once per round as well. Maybe this way I will not keep losing my data for them

SW: 134.8
Cats: Harry 10 lb 15 oz Han Solo 11lb 13 oz

2/6- 134.8 Yes, scale got smuggled into the car after our failed attempt to fly to Florida. We drove 708 miles yesterday. No exercise (no surprise). Tracked all my food, but allowed myself a little over as on the road selections are challenging. I topped out at a little over 1500 calories. Certainly will not make me gain, but contributes less to losing. Cats are doing fantastic. I think they recognized the hotel room from the last two years. Few hotels allow cats, and this one puts us in the same room each time. :P 738 miles is the plan for today. Will make it to MIL’s Florida home tonight. We’ll visit with her until Tuesday morning, then finish our drive to Marathon Key, Florida.

2/7- 136.2 Ouch, yes, yesterday I got derailed (won’t bore you with it), but that is a large uptick. At least I know

2/8- 136.2 Still dealing with food at MIL’s. Making best effort but a struggle. Loading the car shortly and we will be at our own home by mid-afternoon. Exercise starts at 7 am tomorrow with the girls I walk with in Florida. Will be nice.

2/9- 136.4 Argh.

2/10- DNW

2/11- 137.2

2/12- 137.0 Ok, so this round is totally not going as desired. I need to get this turned around and I won’t list excuses. This eating behavior has got to stop being my default. On another note though, I have walked between 4 and 6 miles each day since arriving. Heading out 15 min.

2/13- 136.8 certainly not making it to 134 this round. Yesterday, I made plenty of bad choices despite walking 6.5 miles. We had had three guests over the night before and had wanted to have an easy desert to offer if needed. I bought Ice cream and baked brownies, and no one wanted desert. Soooooo, yesterday, I had lots of brownies for breakfast, whole container of ice cream and left over pizza for lunch, and normal dinner, followed by more brownies. BUT, the ice cream, brownies and pizza are now all gone. Today is a storm in the Keys, going to try and take advantage and get a hold on tracking habits again and finally catch up on reading here in the group. Going to get on the spin bike as well. It’s 9:30 am, and I haven’t screwed up yet. :P

2/12 / 176.2 / Great night in Banff with family. Drank a bit more than usual but walked to dinner and back... lots of movement in general yesterday. Did a snowshoe today and then came home. Off to take my mom for an overnight staycation in Calgary.
2/13 / 179.6 / Every meal yesterday was out and they were definitely bigger. We had a nice night in Calgary with my Mom. I did get a Peloton ride in too before we left.

2/6- 198.0 (+.6) Yesterday was my first day at maintenance. What does that mean? I changed my goal from losing two pounds a week to losing .5 pounds a week. That increased my daily calories from 1200 to 1590. My low weight was four days ago at 195.6 but overall my weight loss has slowed to a crawl. I had my indulgence meal on Thursday which I’ve been having once a week since I started and so a bump up was not unexpected. I started logging here on MFP the beginning of June 2021 and was following the State of Slim plan which is a program I went through almost seven years ago. There is a book that outlines all the details and research. I’ve modified and refocused that plan on calories through MFP. Game changer for me. SOS (State of Slim) suggests giving your body a diet break after 4-5 months. That doesn’t mean giving myself permission to go back to my old eating habits. Instead, increasing calories to maintenance allows me to test the waters and could provide a reset to my body so it gets back into the weight loss mode. I did this in October for a week, which was during challenge 169 (above) and lost .2 pounds. The following challenges, I lost 5.2 pounds and 4.0 pounds and then gained a pound in Challenge 172 which was over the holidays. My overall goal is to lose 104.1 (160) pounds and I’m currently down 66.1 pounds, so I have 38 to go. Several of our wise sages on MFP suggested I read this post and the comments when I was approaching the last maintenance break. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10604863/of-refeeds-and-diet-breaks/p12/7 I’m going to still be attentive on weighing and measuring my food and will keep up my exercise. It feels good to do this reset. I think I hit tired mode a few days ago so this is good timing.
2/7- 197.0 (-.4) I had an indulgence meal at the end of the last round, so my weight is coming down from that. It’s amazing how the extra maintenance calories take some of the pressure off. I always have such high expectations to lose almost every time I step on the scale. Now I can relax a little. Today is no planned exercise, but tomorrow I’ll be back in the pool. I do have a bit of the winter doldrums and can’t wait to get back to hiking in the spring.
2/8- 195.6 (-1.8) Wow! Back at my low weight from last Thursday. I’m guessing my body is just getting rid of salt from my indulgence meal at the end of the last round. I’m eating about 1590 calories a day, which is what MFP suggests for a half pound loss a week. That’s up 390 calories a day from what I was doing when I had it set at a 2 pound a week loss. Now that I’m here, it will be interesting to see what this maintenance break brings. I’m excited to swim today.
2/9- 195.2 (-2.0) I ate up to maintenance calories and about a third of my exercise calories. It felt like so much food. Swimming was wonderful. This is a new low weight for me. Today, I’m meeting two of my favorite artists to catch up and play. I can’t wait.
2/10- 195.2 (-2.0) Had a great day yesterday connecting with several of my artist friends. Swimming is on the agenda today.
2/11- 195.4 (-1.8) Yesterday was really busy so I moved my swimming today. Things are going well and I’m enjoying the maintenance break. Spring is just around the corner and it will be nice to head back up to the mountains and hike every weekend.
2/12- 196 (-1.2) Swam a mile at the pool yesterday in 66 minutes, which is a new speed record for me. Everyone in the pool swims laps much faster than I do, so I’m only concerned with swimming my best. I ate late and didn’t drink all my water, which is why I probably had a bump. Not at all worried. Today is Orange Theory Fitness. Only a few days left in this break. It has been a good one at a good time for me. I’ll be ready to get back on track for the next round of weight loss.
2/13- 196 (-1.2) Great workout at OTF. I can do so much more, including inchworms. While I hate them, I’m still hoping to do burpees one day.

@deepwoodslady - Donna, please make appointment for heart asap. I am keeping you and son in my prayers. My sincere condolences go to you and family for the loss of your brother. These are very stressful times but we have to continue to take care of ourselves for ourselves and our loves ones.

@IsMollyReallyHungry I think the doctor actually dropped the ball because I see no reason why there would have been insurance trouble after flunking two EKG's. I'm sure the doctor is on (putting in for those required pre-authorizations) now that they saw me again. I admit, I do dread starting this heart process because the nearest heart doctor is 2 1/2 hours away (each way). I'm sure there will be plenty of tests and appointments. I hate winter driving in my rural snowy area, but I know it must be done. Thanks for the encouragement. I will follow through in spite of all the challenges.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/05 …..196.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/06 …..194.6 ….. (Trend weight 195.5) Nice drop. Yesterday wasn’t perfect but it was pretty good. I must admit that the binge night before last left me not desiring food for most of the day. I really wasn’t very hungry until evening then I tried to make good choices and watch the quantities. I burned a few more calories, got a few more steps and came closer to mile goal with my fitbit but not by design so much, more by projects I was naturally involved in but it still counts! I’m sure the extra bit of movement helped. One of my cumulative goals in the next few rounds will be to get back to 185 and then proceed as originally planned at some substantial weight loss. Good luck everyone this round.


02/07 …..195.4 ….. Trend weight 195.5) Yesterday was an excellent day in both diet and an increase in steps/activity. I’m not sure why the uptick except that it was a weigh-in about 3 hours earlier than usual due to DGS waking me up again. It could be that. It could be the binge finally showing up, or the high sodium Mexican the other day. In any case, I know I am on track and feel very pleased with myself right now. The scale has no choice but to cooperate at some point if I can keep this momentum up. Livingroom kind of done, but furniture still covered and askew. Time to start building the new walls and archway so that an annoying support beam will look more like a header. My handyman is notoriously slow at drywall but good at building. Slow at paint too, but the price is right and he is dedicated. Here we go with another l..o..n..g project!


02/08 …..193.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.1) A wonderful Whoosh which makes me feel so encouraged. Hold onto your hat 180’s. I’m running a bit late, but I promise, I’m on my way!

02/09 …..193.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.1) Holding steady. I’ll take it!

02/10 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 195.2) My daughter bought pizza for us and the handyman on the job yesterday. 3 slices later this is my result. 2.6 lbs up! It did taste very salty because I don’t have it often. I’ll push water today. The rest of the day was on point. Hopefully tomorrow will fare better.

02/11 …..194.8 ….. (Trend weight 195.1) An okay day yesterday reflected better on the scale. Doctor appointments today for son & I for diabetes. Also for heart for me. They are going to send me to a heart and vascular center I guess. It doesn’t pay to flunk two EKG’s. They were supposed to do it late last fall but had trouble with insurance. Then I let it go due to all the holidays and then my brother’s death. Time to get things right with my heart now. I’ve gotten to the point where I am a little afraid to even exercise with all the sinking and fluttering I am feeling. Need answers.

02/12 …..197.8 ….. (Trend weight 195.4) Dr. yesterday. I’ll find out glucose A1C results next week. Fasted for the bloodwork until after 3:00. Then pigged out on Subway. Cake at home- twice. Took advantage of the fact that I won’t need glucose checking again for 3 full months. Trying to get away with murder here but I’m the one dying if I don’t start getting this right!


02/13 …..197.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.6) Very high glucose last night due to all the choices in the days prior. Pizza, Subway, Cake. I was so sick with all the rich foods. I could barely eat dinner last night thus the drop in weight more than likely. I just couldn’t get enough water as my body desperately needed to flush out the mistakes. Feeling a little better this morning. Hopefully this will keep me on track today.


02/14 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

2/7: 144.8 - Good workouts. Dinner at a friend’s house with delicious everything. Didn’t overindulge too much, except on cheese, crackers and olives. Oh, and maybe a little wine and champagne. Okay, I guess I did overindulge.
2/8: 144.8 - Normal workouts and eating.

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.

2/6- 187.4 96 net carbs and Pelo ride done. Happy with the loss!

2/7- 188.4 I did well with food yesterday-58 net carbs. I fell short on steps though. I think the gain is from spending time on my feet in the kitchen yet again. I wish I could find a way to prevent or minimize that. I find that it also happens if I spend too much time sitting at my sewing machine. It gets so frustrating! The only help I’ve found for it is getting on the Pelo after a day of baking.

2/8- 187.8 Had a great day yesterday- 46 net carbs, step goal hit, and strength training done. I am starting to think I’ve hit a bit of a plateau. Sure, I’m down a bit this morning, but I’ve just been staying within the same 3lb range for the past three weeks or so. I’ll just keep plugging along.

2/9- 187.8 I think maybe I need a bit of a maintenance break. I’ve been going hard pretty much since August. And now I seem to be a bit stuck. So as of today, I’m increasing my calorie goal for the next week or two. Finished yesterday with 43 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done.

2/10- 189.4 Not unexpected nor surprising. Ate at maintenance level yesterday. 82 net carbs, but short on steps.

2/11- 189.4 62 net carbs and Pelo ride done. This maintenance thing is more challenging than weight loss mode. I find I have a hard time hitting close to the recommended calories, and have been finishing short.

2/12- 188.2 Was a little surprised by the drop. 58 net carbs.

2/13- 188.8 59 net carbs and Pelo ride done. Fell short on steps, but I’m not mad about that.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
