Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 179

musicsax

63 yr young F, 5ft 4
Round 179 ( my 111th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Need to knuckle down now and make each round count, DS's wedding is later this spring & I want to feel happy with myself on the day. Aim this round to be lower than the start, but a pound would be nice, concentrate on good food choices & think before I put anything in my mouth!!

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 then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

• In Maintenance since July 2019
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

March focus:
maintain weight < 145 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

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.

2/26- 189.4 I made sushi for dinner last night, let my daughter’s request. Of course that meant more carbs than usual. I’m annoyed by the uptick on the scale but know it’s just the carbs. Otherwise, I did okay with food. Today I’m determined to do better. 110 net carbs and step goal hit.

2/27- 191.2 This was my doing this time- it was treat night last night. Right around 100 net carbs all day, Pelo ride done, and step goal hit! I’m ready to put my nose to the grind stone and do the work this week though.

2/28- 190.2 86 net carbs and step goal hit. I’m determined to make some progress this week!

3/1- 188.0 Nice drop! I don’t know what has been going on lately, but it had been a struggle for a while, feeling like I was struggling to control my eating. Yesterday though, was the total opposite, and I’m glad! 71 net carbs and step goal hit.

3/2- 189.0 I had a great day yesterday, so no idea why the uptick. My guess is the Pelo ride? 85 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done.

3/3- 188.0 86net carbs and step goal hit. I was hoping to drop below this number, but oh well. Eventually it’ll happen, right?

3/4- 188.0 69 net carbs and step goal hit. I’ve been so frustrated with this stall, but this morning I looked at my Happy Scale app graph, and it’s showing the trend moving down now. So… I’ll hold out a bit longer. Maybe my body still needs more time to adjust to the increase in calories. I’m looking forward to seeing something below 188 again though!

2/26- 195.8 (+.2) I was thinking this morning about the bounces, and ups and downs, in this weight loss journey. My bounces up are way lower than where they used to be and that brings a big smile to my face. I tried on some of the clothes in my closet. Several shirts and jackets were added to the donate pile. I’m fitting into some of my Large sized shirts. So exciting! I swam a mile in the pool yesterday and spent time working on a large painting that will be donated to raise funds for pediatric brain cancer. It’s one of the biggest I’ve done and I have a short time frame to finish. Almost there. Life is crazy busy developing new ideas and paintings. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Okay…maybe I’d add losing weight just a little faster.
2/27- 194.4 (-1.2) I had lunch with friends yesterday that I hadn’t seen in over a year. I tried to be smart about my choices, but did eat more than I should. Today I’m walking with my sister and the dogs. It’s going to be really nice this week weather wise. I’m looking forward to being out more.
2/28- 194.2 (-1.4) Swimming today. February included my maintenance break. I’m down 2.8 pounds for the month, which is a bit disappointing. But, down is down and considering a third of the month was in maintenance, that’s not too bad. It was interesting looking back at the journey since I got serious. June: -16.1# July: -6.2# August: -6.8#, September: -11.6# October: -8.2# November: -6.2# December: -7.2# January: -5.8# I track on the Happy Scale app. It’s nice to be able to see the big picture when I get discouraged.
3/1- 193.0 (-2.6) Yay! A new low. My next mini-goal is to get into the 180’s. This will be challenging because I’m heading to an art class in Texas on Sunday with several friends. We plan to walk each day, but I’m not going to be so strict on eating, so I’m expecting a bit of a bounce. Still, the 180’s are in my future. If not this round, then the next one.
3/2- 193.2 (-2.4) Another busy creative day ahead. Swimming twice a week is causing damage to my hair…all that chlorine. My hair stylist suggested a cap and shampoo designed for swimmers. There is a down side to exercise in the pool. Next time I go, I’ll totally soak down my hair before I jump in and in the meantime, find a cute swimming cap with lots of personality.
3/3- 193.6 (-2.0) Looking forward to my short trip. Leaving on Sunday, so I won’t have access to a scale. I plan to fit in Orange Theory Fitness between meetings.
3/4 193.6 (-2.0) Never did get to Orange Theory yesterday. I’ve been trying so hard to move forward on major projects before I leave on Sunday. I got a lot done yesterday. Did graze a bit too much with the added stress. Things will quiet down a little when I get back, so I plan to get back on my eating and exercise routine. The big painting is done!! It’s called, “Waiting Up” and is 48” x 36”. I’ll drop it off at Artma Denver next Friday so they can auction it off during their fund-raiser in April.

I've been weighing different times of day under varying conditions because the ultimate goal is to stay consistently below 140lbs. Hopefully I'll become less focused on the scale moving and more focused on long term consistency.

Calories are better than I thought once I logged the total for each day. No extra calories but the nutrition portion yet to be logged is high carb, low protein, and everything I don't need. That's what happens when I order in for convenience. Options are limited when I don't want to pick up. Home cooked meals are always healthiest.

Exercise is still under review but I'm moving. A plan is preferred but what matters most is doing something daily. I'm back to regular cardio, strength & flexibility. A defined routine will follow.

3/03 162.6lbs
A proper copy & paste was not working today so I'm improvising...

Fully bloated from to much bad chain restaurant delivery. Thankfully calories were okay. I've had no appetite so I'll take advantage of a fasting day with a protein shake to make of for the past few days


3/04 161.0lbs

Still improvising. I can grab the f entire post today but I can't find the last complete post I made on the 2nd.

Anyhoo...
Fasted about 36 hrs followed a little soft goat cheese. Didn't get around to they protein shake. Today will likely be OMAD after 16 good or so.

No fat was planned this week but my appetite is low. I will take full advantage of this.

With guests in the house, I could not get to the scale on Sunday morning. I didn’t try very hard because Saturday was such a food festival! Yesterday too.

So, I thought this morning would be a shock and awe reading. I can’t explain the results. Tomorrow may be the day it catches up with me.

3/01: 213.8 yup. The good news is I see a small ray of actual motivation over the horizon.

3/02: 213.2
I have to admit disappointment here. Frankly I think I am still paying the piper for the past weekend. (and December and January for that matter.)

3/03: 214.8
Words are inadequate.

3/04: 213.8
Follow the bouncing ball. (Who among us knows the reference?)

On a serious note, this morning I walked across the street to offer hugs to the family of the dear lady who has been on hospice in her home for some time. The funeral home came to collect her this morning. Sad time for her husband and grown daughters, but also happy that she no longer suffers.

This life is short, so I don’t want to take anything for granted. Give someone a hug today.

New round, new attitude. My internist has moved on to other things, so I have a new-patient appointment with another doctor in the same practice in late July. That’s 20 weeks, and I’d like to be down 15-20 pounds by then. With weather warming up for more walks, getting back to serious tracking with my pup (lots of walking!), getting back to garden work, and eating more veggies, fewer snacks, it should be doable. Please kick my butt if I make more excuses!

2/27 - 178.2
Yesterday was a good day, and today is planned. It’s soup day! I’m making Savannah Beans & Greens soup from the Moosewood vegetarian cookbook. I’ve never made it before, but it sounds yummy. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

☘️🌷🌱🌹☘️ March! It’s meteorological Spring! The birds are very busy around my nesting boxes this morning—mostly sparrows, but I have seen a pair of bluebirds inspecting a box I protect for them. Yesterday I ordered a hydrangea I’ve been wanting for two years, and four more climbing roses. I always get the gardening itch way too early, but I may do a little pruning and pull some vines off trellises. Have a great day!

3/02 - 177.8
I’ve finally pulled my watercolors out of the closet and yesterday I made the sketch for a painting which I’ll start today. It’s been too long! @coblujay your cute paintings helped push me along! 🎨 I feel like I need a class schedule type date book and some stick-to-it-iveness to fit in the things I want to do (and used to do!) with regularity—writing new book, painting, training my pup for competition, long walks with said pup, trying new knitting techniques, reading, gardening soon, keeping up relationships with friends…. How did I used to get so much done? Isolation has made me lazy and undisciplined (and heavier!). Anyway, spring always energizes me—more light!—so I’m hoping to pick up the pace. Being busier will help me get the weight back off, too.

I made baked oatmeal yesterday for a few days’ worth of breakfasts and forgot the eggs. Duh. Doncha hate when you do that? Still tastes great, reasonable calories, very satisfying. I poured a little plain unsweetened kefir over it this morning and it was great. Next time with eggs!

3/04 - 177.4
Salty lunch yesterday—Mexican carry out—but my calories were on track. Rory and I had a great last pair of doggy school classes for the session last night, so I got a couple hours of exercise. Club has some great classes scheduled next session, so I’m excited about that both to keep me moving and to use up puppy energy. He’s 8 months old now and full of his adolescent self! I’m going to restart my old “wunning” program soon. I used to “wun”—walk & run intervals usin* an interval timer—but got away from it. Time to get back to that, I think, and long walks. Spring makes me want to get off my lazy butt!

Previous days

2/26
2/27 125.0 Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. Posting every day got hard to fit in and then I felt like I just needed a break from posting each day. My tracking has been good but my body is fighting back with crazy water retention this week from my new strength routine and where I’m at in my cycle. Gotta love a double whammy. At the beginning of the week I was like 120ish and this morning I was 125. Craziness. Hoping it drops soon. My husband and I went to the gym this morning and I did an hour on the lateral elliptical for some low impact cardio. I’m hoping to see a whoosh this week at some point. Dinner tonight will be roasted butternut squash and London broil steak. I hope everyone is doing well!
2/28 Checked in on mobile
3/1 122.8 Did 60 minutes of cardio this morning. 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes of uphill walking on the treadmill. I was going to run but I kept getting a weird cramp in my hip area so I walked instead and it didn’t bother me.
3/2 123 Strength workout completed this morning along with the interval session at the end and did an extra 10 minutes to make the running portion of my workout a full 5k. A non scale victory was completing more push-ups than my previous workout. The hardest thing to develop for me is my forearm strength. I know I could lift more weight but my forearms don’t want to cooperate but maybe that slower progress will keep me from inadvertently injuring myself. Also, got takeout last night for dinner but instead of getting something super salty/high calorie I opted to try a Thai papaya salad with chicken and an order of chicken satay. The salad was so yummy and refreshing! Then, I had a skyr yogurt for dessert and a little extra protein.
3/3 123.8 No TMI today. I did an hour on the elliptical this morning and I want to get out for a walk this morning on my lunch. I ate well yesterday although I felt hungry last night after dinner. Still trying to figure out the best combo of food to create that satiety for me while in a deficit again. I think a new goal will be to incorporate more veggies into my diet and actually prep some veggies on the weekends to make it easier during the week. I’ve been averaging 151g of protein a day but have been lacking the amount of veggies that I would prefer.
I had a bit of a chocolate craving this morning, so I decided to make myself a microwave chocolate protein lava cake which is high in protein and fiber because I use inulin and oat fiber. It fixed the craving and was so filling/satisfying that I couldn’t finish it. If anyone is interested in the recipe let me know and I’ll post it!
Happy ALMOST Friday!

3/4 122 TGIF! Happy with the drop. Hoping to see the downward trend continue. We had a late night last night, so I didn’t get to the gym this morning but I’m planning to go after work today. Today will be a strength day with cardio intervals at the end of it. I’m already dressed for the gym to make it that much easier to head there when I’m done with my day.

2/26- 195.8 (+.2) I was thinking this morning about the bounces, and ups and downs, in this weight loss journey. My bounces up are way lower than where they used to be and that brings a big smile to my face. I tried on some of the clothes in my closet. Several shirts and jackets were added to the donate pile. I’m fitting into some of my Large sized shirts. So exciting! I swam a mile in the pool yesterday and spent time working on a large painting that will be donated to raise funds for pediatric brain cancer. It’s one of the biggest I’ve done and I have a short time frame to finish. Almost there. Life is crazy busy developing new ideas and paintings. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Okay…maybe I’d add losing weight just a little faster.
2/27- 194.4 (-1.2) I had lunch with friends yesterday that I hadn’t seen in over a year. I tried to be smart about my choices, but did eat more than I should. Today I’m walking with my sister and the dogs. It’s going to be really nice this week weather wise. I’m looking forward to being out more.
2/28- 194.2 (-1.4) Swimming today. February included my maintenance break. I’m down 2.8 pounds for the month, which is a bit disappointing. But, down is down and considering a third of the month was in maintenance, that’s not too bad. It was interesting looking back at the journey since I got serious. June: -16.1# July: -6.2# August: -6.8#, September: -11.6# October: -8.2# November: -6.2# December: -7.2# January: -5.8# I track on the Happy Scale app. It’s nice to be able to see the big picture when I get discouraged.
3/1- 193.0 (-2.6) Yay! A new low. My next mini-goal is to get into the 180’s. This will be challenging because I’m heading to an art class in Texas on Sunday with several friends. We plan to walk each day, but I’m not going to be so strict on eating, so I’m expecting a bit of a bounce. Still, the 180’s are in my future. If not this round, then the next one.
3/2- 193.2 (-2.4) Another busy creative day ahead. Swimming twice a week is causing damage to my hair…all that chlorine. My hair stylist suggested a cap and shampoo designed for swimmers. There is a down side to exercise in the pool. Next time I go, I’ll totally soak down my hair before I jump in and in the meantime, find a cute swimming cap with lots of personality.
3/3- 193.6 (-2.0) Looking forward to my short trip. Leaving on Sunday, so I won’t have access to a scale. I plan to fit in Orange Theory Fitness between meetings.
3/4 193.6 (-2.0) Never did get to Orange Theory yesterday. I’ve been trying so hard to move forward on major projects before I leave on Sunday. I got a lot done yesterday. Did graze a bit too much with the added stress. Things will quiet down a little when I get back, so I plan to get back on my eating and exercise routine. The big painting is done!! It’s called, “Waiting Up” and is 48” x 36”. I’ll drop it off at Artma Denver next Friday so they can auction it off during their fund-raiser in April.

@coblujay Amazing Painting!!!! I could look at it all day. So impressed with your talent!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/25 …..198.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/26 …..196.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.2) Off to a good start with a better day yesterday. Good luck everyone meeting your dietary and/or fitness goals this round. I love reading all the updates!


02/27 …..197.0 ….. Trend weight 196.4) A horrible night of mini binge after mini binge. Absolutely eating my emotions over a bad behavior I displayed and should not have. Eating my guilt over spoken words and actions that were beneath me. Today I will make amends and hope for the best. I woke up starving from such late night eating. No TMI. No sleep last night. Full of remorse paired with my guilt. God has been good to me, I should be better to others and watch my temper and wicked mouth!

02/28 …..198.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Wow! A huge jump and I’m not sure why. Light breakfast, no lunch and chili for dinner. ½ bowl because it was so FILLING! Hardly any sleep again due to grandson’s early wake-up time. I will be extra thoughtful today. I will NOT hit 200 again.

03/01 …..196.6 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Same breakfast as yesterday, no lunch again and chili for dinner, ½ bowl because it was so FILLING again! Low sleep due to grandson again. Same snack. Instead of 1.2 lb gain I had a 1.6 lb loss. The road is confusing, the journey can be strange. Keeping your eye on the prize is essential. I’m working on another good day.

03/02 …..197.4 ….. (Trend weight 196.6) Late night snacks were over the top and just too much at once and at all. Well problems again today even with the new well pump. The pump was kicking on & off quickly when using water and grinding somewhat. Sounded bad and I knew it wasn’t right. I called the well company back and they said my bladder must be bad. I had a new one put in about a year ago but they said it is definitely bad. The hardware store ones (home depot etc) are just not good. Also, of course, they cannot warranty any but their own. They said they would give me a break and do it for $900.00. That will be between 3 and 4 thousand total on a too small well that will need to be replaced at some point. Why me? Did I stress eat last night or just crave eat? I dunno.

03/03 …..196.2 ….. (Trend weight 196.6) The well company made an adjustment and we’re hoping the bladder is okay. So I didn’t have to put out the extra $900 yesterday. Let’s hope this works! An average day yesterday with food and exercise/movement yet there is a drop. I just keep bouncing back & forth and my inconsistencies are showing up on the scale with inconsistent weights. Perhaps that will speak to me loud enough.

03/04 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 196.5) Very very very stressful night last night with DGS who lives with me (age 4). I tried very hard not to over (stress) eat. I honestly thought I was going to have a heart attack, I certainly couldn’t breathe. His temper tantrums are horrific and I honestly think he becomes hysterical, not just upset. The screaming is ear-piercing and he stands his ground and becomes dead weight. His mom was not home so it was on me. It’s not like this every night or day, thank God, but it’s often enough. No wonder God don’t let old ladies have babies anymore. It was too much for me. I’ve got to get him “unspoiled” or me, trying to help my daughter, is not going to work. Gosh, I love him. But it’s overbearing when he gets like that!

03/05 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

03/06 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

03/07 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
