Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 214

Hi all! Starting back with these challenges. I’m a Mom of 2, in my 40s, and just diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Trying to make some healthy changes.
OSW: 215.5
R213 SW: 211.8
R213 EW: 210.3
GW: 165
2/11 – 209.6 – It’s a Saturday and the weather is nice, so I headed out work a nice long walk!
2/12 – 210.2 – My weight continues to bounce up and down. It gets somewhat discouraging, but thankfully my “trend weight” continues to move downward. I have to remember that my roller coaster ride is a marathon – a slow journey. I’ll get there. Another walk outside today – tomorrow the forecast is snow.
2/13 – 210.3 – Given that we had a Superbowl spread out last night and I nibbled on it a bit – this doesn’t seem bad. I avoided all the higher sodium items and tried to stay within calories. One trick is to serve items I don’t really care for – like chicken wings, so it’s easy to stay away from them.
2/14 – 209.9 – Happy Valentine’s Y’all! I hope you have a wonderful day. My Valentine’s gift to myself today is yoga.

@deepwoodslady 👍👍👍My daughter is using Mounjero with amazing results. She is not diabetic but is insulin resistant. You might be able to get some sort of company discount if your insurance doesn’t cover it. A friend using Ozempic is get results but not as good. DD said her cravings went away and she easily passes by the snacky crap. Don’t have stuff in the house that is junk. Your daughter is an enabler and she needs to be informed of that. The grandchildren don’t need junk food either.2

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
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 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

2/11 127.5 No TMI x 2 Not sure why I’ve started waking up between 4-4:30AM but I’m not fond of it! Finally TMI after my BPC.
2/12 127.5 Yesterday was a busy afternoon. I handed off my guild volunteer job. I introduced the program and have been handling it for 10 years.
2/13 128.0 Great Greek yesterday, I ate 1/2 of the pita 🤦♀️wheat? gluten? carbs? OYYY!!
2/14 ❤️128.0 ❤️Happy Valentine’s Day❤️I started a fast a 1:30 yesterday afternoon, after I ate my Great Greek leftovers. Not sure how long I’ll go. Black coffee and water only. I have to say I am feeling quite proud of myself for making brownies last night and not even licking the rubber scraper. DH was taking them to the PT people this morning. My supplements are not sitting well on my empty stomach.7 -

@quiltingjaine Great to know someone who is using it. Dr. showed me a bar graph of how effective it is for lowering the A1C for my diabetes and it is twice as effective as my Trulicity. I do hope my insurance will cover it. If it also has the ability to help curve cravings wow! what a plus that would be! Let me know if your DD is having any worrisome side effects.2 -
Just trying to get back to moving easier and healthier. I refuse to be in a wheelchair again.
HW- 205
SW- 1/2022- 186
Every day is a kindness to myself.
2/11- 164- It's been a hard couple of days. Slacking off wasn't worth it. I would probably be at my goal by now. Husband wanted to go out for breakfast. I had coffee. Thankfully their coffee is really good.
2/12- 163.8- I took out bacon so breakfast was at home. The whole house smells like bacon. :P Weekends are so hard. When I’m home by myself it’s a lot easier. Super Bowl, but I just made us a regular dinner. No snackies to contend with, I would have failed.
2/13- 162.6- I was only over ± 260 calories, until my elephant decided to sneak out for a snack. Although what I ate wasn’t outrageous, it was my whole intake for tomorrow. It also had a lot of salt, so the scale will not be my friend in the morning.

Hi, I'm Charissa, ready to go for Round 214/5.
I love these 10 days at a time rounds! Very doable. Better than a week as you tend to follow the same up and downs per week and it doesn't always show your progress. Also being able to refocus after 10 days is great! And boy do I need to refocus this round
Had a tough round 213 with lots of celebrations and dinners out. This round starts with a birthday party, yet another dinner and then Superbowl. Monday - no reason to not be back on track!

You make me laugh! Love your tone, the “yikes!”, “booooo” and “not a fan” are exactly how I try to describe my not-so-happy result days too. We all have them, might as well keep it light!

I also need to re-read Beck! AND I have been slacking off on water for some reason.
Good Luck! I know you have great focus!!

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 214
Round 214
February 11 - 20, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for 214. Make the scale move and leave that stubborn number, 142.4. Diversify my exercise. Become more active on this group. I had been hoping to lose 5 lb/month for Feb, March, April, which would mean making it to 138.4 by Feb 28. Will accomplish what I can, as anything is better than what I have been doing the last year and a half. Habits are changing for the good.
History:Exercise & Supplements
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

SW: 142.4
Day/Weight/Comment
2/11 – 141.6 tracked and stayed under, 4.95 mile walk yesterday and FINALLY scale moved…… a bit.
2/12 – 141.4 attended a walk/run first thing (7 am), then spend the day cooking and cleaning for a dinner guest. Planned and pre-tracked my day including doing “dessert for two” for the two men and not myself. Felt like a good host but controlled what I had. I did eat base plus all my exercise calories. But happy with how I handled it. For today, I have sorted out how to face the leftovers, and still be thoughtful. Plan is instead of a large dinner of leftovers, half is going towards lunch, while the other half stays dinner. I get my goodies, still have three meals (instead of starving all day to fit the dinner) and stay on track.
2/13 – 141.2 yesterday, did a long (4 lap) group walk just to keep my muscles moving as the “walk/run” was a definite shock to my leg muscles. They were tender yesterday, and very sore first thing this morning. Today is going to be a food challenge (Key West), but that is good. I need to practice enjoying life while making better choices. It is the only way this works in the long run, and isn’t that our real goal? Pleased to have gone down a little bit, though I am surprised as I can feel fluid retention in my fingers.
2/14 – 142.0 The result of eating ¾ of a 10” white pizza (half at restaurant at lunch, with ¼ as an easy dinner). Did my best to estimate and track, but again, I have all that fluid retention going on in my fingers. Doesn’t feel good. No more entertaining, leftovers, or out-to-eat for at least a few days.

@RockinRobyn672
I agree with the diet/life statement!!! My husband is a total hedonist at heart and sometimes I think I actually see his lip quiver when I smack down some decadent request.

@shmmm3 Back at ya! Your words have helped me as well. I think I will return to weighing in once a week.4
-
@MommaGemz Same back at ya! Happy Valentines Day to you and everyone! My gift to myself was to take a lunch break from work and get on the Peloton for a spin.5
-
Came back to update. I DID do my bodyweight workout AND my cardio sprints. I did the sprints on the spin bike we have here at the house to change it up.
I've also convinced myself to do cardio sprints tomorrow instead of Thursday due to the very high potential my sleep is going to be disrupted tomorrow night when BF gets home. Thursday, instead, will be my rest day to recover from that sleep debacle. Because of sprints 2 days in a row, I'll definitely go back to the rower so I'm not overdoing anything.7 -

Round 212 EW: 172.0 lbs (-1.2)
Round 213 EW: 167.6 lbs (-4.4)
My goals for this round will be the same as the last round: to not eat my children's leftovers and to eat smaller portions for dinner. I am also very sedentary so I will aim to get my heart rate above 100 bps for at least 22 minutes each day.
2/11: 167.6 lbs
Achieved my goals for the day.
2/12: 168.7 lbs
Injured my hip so I don't think I will be able to achieve my goal this round of getting my heart rate above 100 for at least 22 minutes per day. Otherwise I achieved my other goals for the day.
2/13: 169.3 lbs
Had too many papadums at dinner. No exercise either because of my sore hip. I think realistically, because of the big drop last round, I might end up 2 or so pounds with this round. I need to mentally prepare for this so I don't give up. Time to look at my inspiration slide show (which is just a collection of photos and quotes) to help keep me on track.
2/14: 168.7 lbs
Still haven't exercised. Ate within calorie budget though.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/11: 130.1 - Not really sure how I got here. Had a sugar binge last night. I did work out later in the day (just before dinner) so don’t know if that helped at all.
2/12: 131.2 - here is the bump up I was expecting yesterday. Had dinner out at a friends house. Delicious all around. I did get my workout in so hopefully that helped a little bit.
2/13: 131.6 - We did a bit of game day cooking for just the two of us. Got our workouts in though.
2/14: 131.6 -Still eating leftovers. Good workout
