Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 196

musicsax

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 196 ( my 128th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in 4 weeks! No binges, keep within calories & macros.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15 139.4 – 7.98 miles walked yesterday & it was HOT !!!! Maybe in hindsight we shouldn't have gone during the middle of the day, but we kept hydrated. 2/3 exercise calories eaten back, need to get back to not eating many back!!
8/16 138.8 – 11.87 miles walked yesterday, 10 degrees cooler than yesterday! We so much need some rain, the gardens are desperate!! I have been watering with a watering can out of the rain butt, I drained the last dregs out of that last night!! It keeps being forecast, but I've been able to count the odd few spots that have fell !!! ¾ exercise calories eaten back.
8/17 137.8 – 8..63 miles walked, certainly not as hot, much more bearable, in fact a very pleasant temperature ! And lots of rain for the gardens. A third of calories eaten back; that's better and it shows on the scales.
8/18 138.2 - 11.8 miles walked, 5/8 exercise calories eaten back.
8/19 137.6 – no structured walking; childcare for 2 little DGS & 1.5 hour each way commute, but it's worth it to spend precious time with them.
8/20. DNW - away for the weekend in our caravan & forgot to pack the scales 😱. No structured walking cuz we had some work done in the house & then a 2 hour journey. 169 calories over.

I am on vacation this week! Hopefully more activity this week as opposed to sitting in front of my computer!
8/16: 217
8/17: 214.9!
I got a new scale. After much deliberation I decided to go with this weight. My old scale said 217.5 three times this morning. The new scale said 214.9 three times this morning. So the only thing I had was a 10 pound bag of cat food to calibrate. The old scale said “error” when I weighed the cat food and the new scale said 10.1 pounds. Since I will be using the new scale from here on out, I went with the new scale reading.
8/18: 214.9
8/19: 213.9 I think all the swimming this week instead of sitting in front of my computer is showing up! 🏊‍♀️
8/20: 213.1

I know tomorrow we are taking the godkids swimming and then out to eat like a little date day with just us and them before returning them to their grannas. Fam has a concert so they're out of town for the day. Hoping I can keep this downward trend going (or at least stalled and NOT a gain) through the weekend. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday next week and I know I'm about 10lbs heavier than I was at my last appointment. Oof. Hoping I can stay focused and lower the difference between appointments through the weekend and next week.

Previous Day's Comments

8/15 - No hugs needed. Not quite enough water. Think BF and I ate something bad Saturday night as all day yesterday both of us complained of stomach cramps and pain. Dinner was carb-filled chicken alfredo with homemade cheesy bread sticks which didn't help anything but at least I got some food in the cranky stomach. My entire abdomen feels like rock hard abs but its ball-shaped haha At least today there's no cramping or pain so now I'm waiting for my body to recover from whatever it is causing the bloat. Definitely focusing on water today to help push along recovery. Woke up and got in a solid 20 minute hard rowing workout that left me dripping in sweat. I usually glisten or sparkle, but it was hard enough to make me actually drip sweat in my eyes. Not bad for a Monday morning coming from a girl who is NOT a morning person. Finished it off with a 15 minute flexibility Yoga With Adriene practice as I'm still dealing with a little stiffness and soreness in the hammies from last week's sprints. Not sure dinner and I didn't go grocery shopping this weekend so I'm low on fruits/veg. I have a few frozen items that can hold me over on lunches, though, and some leftover chopped bell pepper and strawberries. Will make a plan to stock up on frozen "emergency" fruits/veg next time I go to the store since our new freezer has proven itself to keep things very much frozen.
8/16 - Alright, here we go! Behaved well yesterday food-wise after all that hard work on the rower first thing. Glad to see this weight coming back down. Tummy is feeling back to normal after yesterday. Still a tad bloated, but no pain or discomfort from it. Unfortunately, my usual Monday morning sluggishness caught up to me and I slept straight through my alarm this morning! Didn't wake up until 2 minutes after I usually hop on the computer (other than any meetings, its flexible. Core hours are 9am-3pm and I choose how I want to make up the remainder of my 9hour work day. So not "late" per se, but late to my own self-set schedule). Obviously, no workout due to that. Will see how things go this evening and take the pup for a walk. I set an extra alarm tomorrow to be sure I don't miss another morning workout and I've even planned the workout already so there's no reason not to do it! Lunch is planned out and unsure dinner but it's TacoTuesday in the house so I'm sure it'll be some type of Mexican-inspired fare. At least it's homemade and I can generally account for everything in the food log.
8/17 - Not bad for having enchiladas! I definitely expected to be up more from that. Maybe that 30 minute walk (1.75mi up and down hills) with the pup offset more than I thought. I've read somewhere that walking after a meal helps kickstart digestion. Anyone have any insight on that? My mind was so paranoid about sleeping through another alarm, apparently, that I woke up several times between 2:44am and my actual alarm. Feeling a bit sluggish, but I'm up on time. Drinking my electrolyte water and typing this to give myself a few minutes to wake up before hitting the rower for my pre-planned workout. BF wants to make chicken fajitas tonight so I need to run to the store during my lunch break which will also give me a chance to stock up on some healthier lunch items and snacks to get me through. At least fajitas have some colorful veg and aren't as break-the-(calorie)-bank as enchiladas. Plus there's nothing like the extra NEAT from a big grocery haul (walking a giant store, pushing an awkward heavy cart (which are made for people over 6ft, I swear, the handle is almost up to my shoulders and I'm 5'5!), loading into the car and lugging the heavy bags in the house after). Alright, off to punish myself on this rower (ahaha just kidding, I'm treating myself. It seems like punishment right now but after I'll be happy I did it and feel so much better) EDIT TO ADD: I'm happier now. 10 minute easy row followed by a 5 minute moderate/hard interval done twice. Now to stretching!
8/18 - I'm very happy and a little surprised at this! I went to bed with a lot of bloat, my stomach was super hard and sticking out quite a bit. I was really discouraged at bedtime noticing that as I did my wind down (I take note of my body and relax from toes up to face one by one). Today it's less hard and more the usual squishy and the scale shows my body did some bloat reduction during sleep. I did hit snooze but I think that was more because I woke up from a dream and needed a few extra minutes to get myself moving rather than pop straight out of bed. Also I didn't have a workout planned and motivation is always super low in the mornings. So I know what I need now: have a workout plan or at least idea for the morning BEFORE I go to bed. Did a 20 minute rowing session including warm up and cool down followed by a digestion-focused yoga with Adriene for 10 minutes. Then a quick 5 min walk with the pup that got cut from the planned 10-15 minutes due to cows with their babies nearby (don't need them feeling threatened). Last night we switched around to grilled chicken leg quarters, grilled red potatoes, and green beans. Fam reached out because godkids want to see us and said fajitas tonight. We'll push our fajita plans to next week. Today I have leftover broccoli in cheese sauce (the frozen steam kind), some potatoes, and a leg quarter for lunch. I'll pre-log my fajitas to keep portions in line and base my portion for lunch off that to keep calories in line. Exercise is becoming consistent during the work week so now I need to start focusing on healthier food options and reigning in my portions a bit more to get this weight (fat) a-moving on out of here!
8/19 - A drop is still a drop. Last night involved 2 glasses of wine instead of the usual 1. I did hold myself to the portions I set out at the beginning of the day, though! Some adjustment had to be made because I didn't end up eating lunch at home before we left and ended up having to grab something at the bar/grill to hold me over instead, plus accounting for the wines. Before I put a single bite in my pie-hole, I logged it, though! Today's lunch will likely be yesterday's planned lunch. Unsure dinner at this point. Trying to come up with a workout idea right now for this morning as I'm dragging more than normal. I'm up, though, so I might as well get SOMETHING in movement wise, even if it's not the sweat-inducing intense kind. EDIT: I did a 20 minute easy "recovery" row. Stroke rate 18, steady pace, didn't try to over do it, just went through motions and still felt muscles working. Did get warm, but not sweaty. I'll take that. Work starts in 5 minutes so will find 10 minutes of other movement through the day (won't be hard to manage that)

8/15: 186 - really cutting back on my carb and sugar intake. Drinking more water and walking up our hills 3 to 4 times a week.
8/16: 186
8/17:185.5
8/18: 185
8/19: 185
8/20:184 - not bad for the last few days. Have been sticking to salads for dinner plus a little protein. When I need a little sugar fix I go with sugar free mints from Russell Stover. The results are encouraging. Just have to stay focused. Would love to be able to get into some of my cool clothes again. It really is a lifestyle change and not a diet. I've been working on this effort for several months now and having way more plants for dinner than processed foods has become a habit. The hard part for me is going to be to not go back to my old ways because I love to cook and I love food. Food does not love me back though so I have to change that relationship.

08/18 -202.6- (Trend weight 199.9)

08/19 -201.6- (Trend weight 200.0) Counters are being delivered today so FINALLY (maybe} we can get the work finished on the kitchen in the (very) near future. While waiting, my handymen managed to finish the egress window in my son’s room. All the trims inside and out were actually finished yesterday. It adds a lot of light and fresh air, but more importantly safety. I’ve ordered a new grate and lid for it. Yesterday’s diet was wonderful, until about 11:00 pm. Then I added about 325 extra calories because I was so hungry. But it was “good food”, not junk. Low-carb bread with chunk chicken breast with mayo mixed in and walnuts thrown in to make a yummy low carb sandwich. The scale still dropped. I am going to try to plan my meals more carefully today and figure out the spacing.

08/20 -201.8- (Trend weight 200.2) Trend weight has been climbing and I am not happy about that. Tomorrow is my DGD’s 2nd birthday party which is out-of-town. I will have to be extra diligent today.

ROUND 188-SW 179.2, ROUND 189-SW 180.2, ROUND 190-SW ?, ROUND 191-SW 174.4,

ROUND 193-SW 179.6, ROUND 194-SW 179.2, ROUND 195-SW 172.4

8/5: 172.4 not a bad place to start the challenge

8/6: 171.8 weight is "pre" everything. i usually weigh in after i've had coffee and water. haven't had coffee or water yet this morning, so i'm figuring i'm at least a solid 172 lbs.

8/7: 172.4

8/8: 171.8

8/9: 171.4 i am actually getting excited to see the 160's. maybe by round 197??? what an accomplishment that would be!

8/10: 171.8 had 1/2 a blueberry muffin from sams club yesterday. had the other 1/2 this morning. i knew i shouldn't have, but who can just leave a muffin top just sitting there!

8/11: 171.4 that muffin sent me on a carbohydrate binge. exceeded calories and days was primarily carbs and fat, very little protein. my indiscretions always takes a few days before they surface. wish it was cooler, i might have been able to walk a little bit of that off. this summer has been miserably hot. diet diligence for the rest of the challenge!

8/12: 170.2 the loss has confused me. after the carb. binge, i have mostly been eating fruits and vegetables. i did also have chicken wings, which i think i mis-calculated nutrition on (on the higher side) so i probably had way less calories than is healthy.

8/13: 172.6 and there is it.... my carbohydrate binge taking its vengeance on me.

8/14: 171.8

ROUND 196
SW: 171.8

Day/Weight/Comment

8/15: 171.8 I've seen this number so frequently, i shouldn't be surprised (and i'm not).

8/16: 172.2 not sure if this is from not drinking enough yesterday, or if it's because i've already eaten scrambled eggs and tomatoes

8/17: 172.2, 171.4, 171.2 take your pick. these are the options my scale gave me all within 1/2 hours time with no variable. do the spring scales do the same thing? ...back on topic....ate a maintain amount of calories yesterday, but it was high in carbs (ramen noodles). i did get to finally go for my walk! not as epic as the exclamation point implies. it was just a mile, but weight loss rate.

8/18: 171.2 good calories, good macros, and a good 2 mile walk

8/19: 171

8/20: 170.4 since i usually weigh myself before i eat, and i have already eaten today this weight is probably just more nonsense my scale is spitting out.

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205

Goals for this round:

1. Generally, show some semblance of discipline. Exercise more. Eat less.
2. Major Goal this round is to make even a little bit of progress toward my maintenance range.
3. Most Important….Resist mindless shoveling of food into my cake hole! This is a big one.

/Walk/ Glad to start a new round.

Managed to complete the weekend without ignoring goal number 3. Huge!

8/16: 214
/walking/ Happy to say I have been logging and winning the mind battle with food the past few days. The war continues.

8/17: 213
/not a blasted thing/ busy all day yesterday with work and Dr appointment. Starting (just starting mind you) to get back to enjoying the feeling that I am hungry (First World Hungry, not really hungry.) This has been essential to progress for me in the past.

When I gain weight, I usually let my eyes decide (see food diet) if I am going to eat it, not my hunger/common sense.

8/18: 214
/nothing again/ Today is 43 Anniversary with DW!

8/19: 216
/walking/ This bump-up expected after yesterday’s food fest. Topped off with DW making chex-mix for our neighbor last night. I had to do some quality control monitoring. 😊 it was exquisite. Hello salty water gain.

Since I round up and down, the actual gain was less than 2#.

8/20: 214
/mowing/ I will take 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.

Day/Weight/Comment: Reflections on previous day

8/15 - 159.5 (+1.4) - Sorry I skipped last round all. Tried to peek in on all of you a few times. Between some medical stuff and an intense workload I couldn’t keep up. I’m back and okay with the gains (aside from discomfort - TMI).

8/16 - 158.0 (-1.5) - First day of school was long. Drained by new schedule already and travel time is nowhere near what we were anticipating. Hoping it eases up. 🥗 Over 💧176 oz. 🏋️‍♀️ Rowing + Tai Chi 👟 7,931

8/17 - 156.2 (-1.8) - Simply exhausted! 🥗 Gross Under 💧123 oz. 👟 9,658

8/18 - 156.4 (+0.2) - Working through solutions and relieved we’re making progress 🥗 Net Under💧112 oz. 🏋️‍♀️ Rowing + Walking 👟11,327. “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” - Albert Einstein

8/19 - 157.3 (+0.9) - TMI 🥗 Gross Under💧132 oz. 🏋️‍♀️ kick boxing, strength + some labor on parents farm 👟 8,198. “I closed my eyes and let the music flow through me, cleansing my soul of all fear and sin and reminding me that I am always better than I think and stronger than I believe.” - Paulo Coelho

Day/Weight/Comment
8/15 / 165.2 / Got up and walked my dog before work while the temperatures were still cool. Had a tough work from home day as the Internet was poor in my area today. Managed to get through and now I'll ride the Peloton before supper.
8/16 / 164.4 / Had a great Peloton ride last night and made lots of healthy food for supper and meals today. Had a smoothie for breakfast this morning which I haven't done in forever. Feeling good!
8/17 / 164.6 / My day was busy at work so I missed my lunch time walk. I have to go to the dentist shortly so I'm going to have to get my steps in before bed.
8/18 / 166.8 / Got my walk in before bed last night and hit 10K steps. Today I have to walk to the doctor and back at lunch so my steps should be decent by the time I get home from work. Quiet night planned as I'm off tomorrow hoping my hot air balloon ride finally goes ahead.. weather is looking right for it but if it does the meeting time is before 6 a.m.
8/19 / 167.8 / Hot air balloon ride was an absolutely outstanding experience. We also had time to go bike riding in the mountains. Really made the most of our day off.
8/20 / 166.8 / We are at the lake today. I am on call for work so I had to set an alarm.. feeling super tired after yesterday's big day. Our trailer neighbors have our dog as they looked after her for the day while we were out adventuring but they'll be up soon.. can't wait to see her (and them!)

🙂Round 196🙂

August 15 - August 24, 2022

Please join us starting on 8/15 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 196!

Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

8/15 - 170.4 - 7,500/15 Weighed in after shower wet hair. Last week was a busy not a lot of walking week. SO has headed back to work for a few days so I can get back at it. Hoping for some good water loss as I am a little bloated.
8/16 - 166.2 - 23,300/164. Nice to see that drop, water weight as expected. Dinner out tonight will see what results bring in the morning, plus I'll have no time for a long weekend walk!! Looks like SO is away until the weekend, I'll get some evening walks in.
8/17 - 165.1 - 19.600/137. Dinner out with my boys girlfriends, just us as all the boys are working my SO out of town and my sons working nights. Taco salad and cheesecake and still a loss!!
8/18 - 163.6 - 28,300/182. Some after work shopping and a late evening walk.
8/19 - 162.7 - 27,700/201. Busy weekend ahead. Won't get much walking in but I may be able to squeeze in some small ones. SO arrived home and is here for a few days, Hooray! We have a family get together and it's nice he can attend. Dentist for me today ugghh ... Happy Friday

8/20 - 162.2 - 17,600/107. Worked a couple of hours, went to the dentist. Then SO took me on a hike. Lots of elevation and it was warm out. He didn’t have the best time. I bribed him with ice cream (sorry dentist!) I had a great day. Family thing tonight with lots of food and drink, see where the numbers fall in the morning.

8/16 211.6 That's what I deserve after eating two slices of cake. But it sure was good.
8/17 210.6. Husband tested positive for Covid on Saturday evening. I just tested positive this morning.😕😷
8/18 210 Well daughter who lives with us tested positive today. So glad we are vaccinated and boosted, it hasn’t been too bad. I’m very sorry for those who don’t vaccinate.
8/19 208.8 Well that’s interesting. I was over my calories yesterday, mainly because I’m drinking a lot of orange juice. Didn’t do much but sit in a chair and cough and sneeze. Feeling better today but still have a fever, will be doing much of the same as yesterday. Husband is over it and daughter seems to have a very mild case.
8/20 208.4 Feeling better today.

8/15 - n/w
Friends coming for tiny potluck tonight. Should be nice, eating in the garden.

8/16 - n/w
Dinner was lovely last night, and other than Ghirardelli brownies, all perfectly healthful food. It’s weird not weighing in every morning and not counting calories, but I am having DH record what I eat, I just don’t peek.

8/17 - n/w
I almost stepped on the scale this morning out of long habit, but caught myself. I’m sticking to the no-weigh-in routine to the end of the round. It’s a gorgeous day, so Rory and I are off to the park for a walk.

8/19 - n/w
Funny, I remember writing yesterday but can’t find it. Maybe I hit Done instead of Post. I hate when I do that! Anyway, I seem to be doing ok not weighing in. I don’t think I’m over eating. I’ll find out in 5 more days. 😉

8/20 - n/w
Was up at 6 to track with a friend, and it was just lovely out—cool, and a beautiful sunrise. Now it’s pouring—good thing we went in the morning! Happy Saturday!

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!
