JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 183

quiltingjaine

@NationalCapital It took me about 50 years to realize that the effect of what I eat can take up to 3 days to show on the scale. Even my fasting days don’t show immediately. Hang in there and stick with it.

@JenKindo. Strength training builds muscle so if you are losing 1/2# of fat and gaining 1/2# of muscle, the scale will show no change. That is why taking measurements is so important. Having just said that, I myself do not measure. 🤦‍♀️ I need to practice what I preach!

Thank you Jaine! I know my muscles are a little bigger, just don't think they are growing at the same rate I'm losing fat. I'd be elated if that's actually what's happening! 😆

WOW!!! I just came on to see how many more days were left in the challenge and a post lead me back to look for this post and despite being a long post.....I too am very thankful 🙏🏽 🙌 you took the time to share ❤

I didn't really have time because I should be getting ready to go into the office but I NEEDED to read your post today. I took have a very hectic life but I have to find a solution to take care of me too. when I get to work I am going to try to find to check in. I doubt it. Today was the 1st time I MADE time too peek in. and I am so glad I did. I have to find a way to squeeze in time for this group like it is a lifeline. I did it for WW for years and I have start doing the same here. It is a win win. THANKS AGAIN ❤️ 😊

Aww, that warms my heart!

Just a tidbit for you (or anyone else) I've decided that work/life balance is beyond challenging, but who said I can't have "life" while at work?

I bring my breakfast and eat it after my morning meetings. While doing that, I'll post my daily check-in. (Bonus, it slows my eating down. I don't stuff my face so fast my body can't signal fullness in time!).

Right now? Waiting on email response before I can move forward with work so I'm typing this out.

Lunch? I have 30 minutes. I sit at my desk since there's nowhere else for me to go. Rather than working through lunch, I minimize my work-related windows and check in here to catch up on everyone's posts. I'll update my food log. I'll read an article or two on health. I use my full 30 minute lunch for (slowly) eating and for "life" rather than work. It's the only work/life balance I have Monday-Thursday and I'm going to take advantage of it however I can.

May not be applicable to everyone, but it's something I've realized I need to do to stay grounded and focused not only on health, but on work once lunch break is over.

You are right, but my job is not the same. But I can carve out some time within my 24 hours for me. I just have to do and cut out some none essentials things that I do like TV Thanks again. I am doing this now while watching American Idol

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 11,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; Strength training 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.

4/7: 181.6 I haven’t had that much of an overnight uptick in a while. I’m thinking it’s PMS, along with bad sleep due to a toothache, and the salty sauerkraut last night. No worries though. Step goal hit and 67 carbs.

4/8: 182.0 The PMS bloat is real this time! But it’s temporary. So while annoying, I feel strangely at peace with it right now. I am wondering if something is up with my Fitbit though, as it has my calorie burn for my Pelo ride as significantly lower than last time. Also, two nights in a row my sleep score has been the same. If it’s the same tonight, then I think I’ll look more into it. But, Pelo ride done, step goal hit, and 64 net carbs.

4/9: 181.6 63 net carbs and step goal hit. Happy to see this down tick.

4/10: 182.4 PMS is really messing with me this time around, dang! 91 net carbs and step goal hit.

4/11: 183.6 I don’t know. I had a good day yesterday, so water weight still I’m assuming. Frustrating for sure, but it should turn any day now and stay turned around. Step goal check, and 74 net carbs. Hoping I can at least end this round where I started it. Fingers crossed.

4/12- 181.8 Finally! Moving back down. 73 net carbs and step goal hit. Water weight is heading out.

4/13 182.2 Rode the Pelo hard last night, so probably some water retention. 62 net carbs and step goal hit.

4/14- 183.6 Headed out camping this weekend, so no weighing until Monday.

4/15- 185.4
4/17- 185.0

Round change: +5.4 OOF. Taking next round off since we’re heading to Disney this coming weekend. I’ll be back next month!

4-5= 150
4-6= 149
