Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 223
Replies
-
Thank you everyone for being here for another round! I'm back too! Still have work to do! Intended to figure out how to fit kettlebells back into my life last round...and didn't even look at the set in the basement. Maybe this round?!?! My last two rounds have been very successful with tracking nutrition and staying active outside....but I'm thinking I need to work on body composition as well as just the number on the scale.
Female - 51yrs - 5'5"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R222 EW - 5/11 - 167.0
5/12 - 166.8 - continuing downward. Heading up to my parents place this evening for the weekend. Might bring my scale or use Moms. DS17 has a training shift for his summer job...and it's Mothers Day on Sunday so there are a few things planned that will limit my control on the food available but I'll do my best....and I'll probably want a cocktail on the dock tomorrow if this weather holds up.
5/13 - DNW - Wasn't able to get at the scale in Mom's bathroom before I ate BUT...she got a digital kitchen scale recently so it could accurately track my breakfast. Will see how the day goes...Dad, hubby and the boys are making dinner tonight so I'll just keep the rest of my meals light in case it's a calorie bomb. It's hard not to snack here, mom and dad are grazers and there's open bags and bowls of snacks all over the house just begging for a hand to grab a bite. I'm moving up here for two months at the end of June with the boys, it's going to be a feat of will power to get through that!!
5/14 - DNW - still at the parentals. Super long walk yesterday and then worked in the gardens with Mom...well over 17000 steps so hopefully I counteracted the deliciously rich sauce DS17 made for our dinner last night...and the Nana cookies I didn't resist...
Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms!!
5/15 - 167.2 - Well, it could have been worse after a very indulgent weekend. TOM also arrived this morning so there's that as well. It's Monday! Have a great week everyone!
5/16 - 168.6 - SO bloated! TOM day 2 is the worst! Did not get nearly enough activity yesterday...appointments!! Today we hike!! And garden!!

Stick to Plan:
- Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500 (with a maintenace day thrown in every now and then.
- Exercise: Row, Walk, Bike, Weights, Dance, Jazzercise, Kayak, Hike Figure out this new reality of no exertion for 6 months per doctor's orders. Ugh!!
- Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
- Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days
- Reduce added salt
- Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit (very little processed foods or simple carbs which I hardly ever have)
- I need to figure out a way to get more fiber, especially from grains.
Ending Weight Round 222: 165.8
Round 223
Previous Days' Comments5/12 - 165.8 I didn't realize it's been 3 days since I posted. I'm still trying to get my head around how I'm going to lose weight, retain muscle mass, and keep mentally healthy without exercise. The "exercises" I do are things I enjoy. However, my health situation is still precarious so I know I'll follow my surgeon's orders (plus my husband is watching me like a hawk 💚). I believe my metabolism has already slowed down but it's not only from no exercise, I think I'm causing it, too, from not eating enough calories. I haven't had an appetite - got to work on that!5/12 - 165.8
5/13 - 165.8
5/14 - 165.4 Finally, a day not seeing 165.8! It took me 9 days to get past this weight, however, I was 169 on Apriil 27, the day I went to the ER. My diet has been wacky as $%^& since that day, incuding I have always naturally fasted for around 18 hours each day based on the fact I'm not hungry in the mornings. I now have to take meds at 8a with food. I'm trying to keep focused on the positives: On March 6, I was in that dreaded place of having to lose the same 20 pounds AGAIN, and on weekly binges - eating tons of carbs and sugar. I was around 180 and as of today, I only have 5 more pounds to go to be rid of that 20 pounds, forever!!. I've also gone 70 days binge-free and sugar-free! Yay!
5/15 - 164.6 I'm glad to finally see 164.x.
5/13 - 165.8
5/14 - 165.4
5/15 - 164.6
5/16 - 164.6Bingeing is why I'm where I am now. I want to see the results with 100 days of no bingeing. I'm not talking about going over my calorie limit or overeating, I'm talking full-out bingeing. And that's not just on bad foods, even when I'm eating well, I'll binge. This will be extremely challenging but if I stick to it (and stay off sugar and simple carbs to stop cravings), there is no way I'm not going to see consistent weight loss during these 100 days (not to mention the health benefits)! Part of this challenge, too, is if I do have a slip, that I don't revert back to old habits of bingeing for days/weeks/months. I will acknowledge the slip, celebrate that it didn't derail me, and just keep on keeping on.100-day Binge-free Challenge starting March 6…
I want to see what happens when I don't give up!

5/16 - 156.0 - I guess I'm hydrated-ish again - hope so after 100+ oz of water! I'm not sure if this is still travel bloat, pre-TOM bloat, or a little of both because I still feel squishy and puffy this morning. At this weight, maybe I lost some fat and only have a blip up from bloating! A girl can hope and dream... I've been sleeping in and I finally feel like I've conquered my sleep debt - woke up at 630 and went straight into a walk with the pups. Drank coffee and wrote in my journal once we were back. Planning a quick yoga session for lunch break as well. I'm thinking tomorrow I may try to run if I'm feeling this good at 530 - repeat C25K week 7 (25 min runs) and save Week 8 (28 min runs) for next week since I have a late start to the week. Ankle is a little sore from all the storms so I'm going to monitor my body before I make any final decisions. Today I'm making up some "honey" lemon chicken with steamed broccoli and rice for lunch meal prep the rest of the week. I'm subbing maple syrup for honey in case BF wants some as there will be extras- he's very allergic to honey. I'm about to pre-log the most calorie-dense Taco Tuesday meal we make as well as this meal prep to ensure I'm good on the calorie front. I fasted until 10am yesterday so hoping I can fast until lunch today without issue - it helps a lot. Also planning on an after dinner walk with the pups again. All the rain forecasted for this week is now pushed to Friday and beyond.

Previous Day's Comments5/12 - Up a smidge from lots of carbs and sodium. I ended up eating spaghetti with a small side salad I threw together (but just now realized I forgot to log the salad...I had the calories for it so not a big deal) only for BF to decide to go to Thirsty Thursday last minute anyway. Ugh. I felt the carb-heaviness all afternoon. Dinner wasn't terrible but he made mashed potatoes with, you guessed it, garlic salt. He loves salt and he'll be the first to tell you. UGH. I'm waiting for the sun to peak up just enough (about 20 minutes) while typing and drinking coffee to take the pups on a quick walk, both for me and them. BF said his alarm is for 7, he'll drink coffee, and THEN start moving towards leaving so I have plenty of opportunity. All I have left is to wash my face and brush my teeth (after coffee is consumed, always if I'm not out and about). Goal today is to get as many steps as possible despite driving. Also, aiming for at least 64oz water without requiring extra stops or being up all night tonight. Logging food and really eating slowly to make sure I can tell when I start feeling satiated, not quite full to stop eating. I'm hoping to limit the damage of eating fast food and gas station junk today and Sunday as much as possible with little tweaks. Have a great weekend, everyone! I'll see you again Monday.
5/13 - Out of town - family reunion
5/14 - Out of town - traveling home
5/15 - I'm 98% sure I'm only this low due to dehydration. I'm back to work today and therefore back to routine and habits. 23 hours in the vehicle between 7:30am Friday morning to 8:15pm last night. My body is so sore. I'm pushing off my workouts until my body feels recovered enough - I feel like attempting to work out at the level I have been is a recipe for injury. Walking and yoga will be my friends this week. I'm expecting a blip up these next few days as I re-hydrate immediately followed by all the good pre-TOM bloat that occurs that I anticipate happening later this week. I'm hoping everything will start dropping off by the end of the round, but I'm putting it out now: I don't expect this round to end on a "good" note. Either the same or slightly higher and I will NOT be upset with myself no matter how hard it is to logic the upset out of me.

Happy to see it though!!
5/14 - 123 - Had some planned indulgences last night with no regrets ☺️ I expect this will fall back down in a day or two. Plan for today is lots of water, fruits and veggies. Happy Mother’s Day!

100 oz h20
5.12.2023 - ⬇️ 170.6 😳 Nice! I drank tons of h20 so hopefully that did the trick! My lowest weight to date since I started in Feb ‘22! YAY! 🎉 strength & cardio at the gym tonight. I also sat in the sauna for about 10 minutes. I did eat 2 squares of pizza for dinner - I’m hoping that doesn’t screw me. Downing some more water!
5.13.2023 - ⬆️ 171.0 😊 The pizza didn’t do as much damage as I had anticipated. My trending weight is 171.4 so I’m happy with this. Today is a rest day for exercising but we are bowling tonight, so that will be a little something.
5.14.2023 -⬆️ 171.2 Need to focus before this gets away from me. Ate some pizza again yesterday, but wasn’t horrible. One thing I learned is to not deprive myself, but instead to eat in moderation. Sometimes I feel like I have my eating disorder in check and other times it seems to win. So far, I feel I am still in control. Trending weight is 171.3 so I’m still in the green. I also need to get back to updating daily and not every other day. It’s been a hectic schedule lately.
5.15.2023 - 170.2 ⬇️ I do believe my plateau is over! 🎉 I was hesitant to think so earlier since I’ve bounced back and forth so much the past 2 months. As aggravating and sometimes discouraging as it is, I need to “trust the process.” No gym over the weekend, but did a lot of cleaning around the house and moving around furniture. Tonight is back to the gym for some strength & cardio.
5.16.2023 - ⬇️ 169.8 🎉🎉🎉 YAY!!!! I finally hit my 80 lbs lost!!! WooooHoooo!! Next goal is 90!12 -

05/14 -194.8- (Trend weight 194.1)
05/15 -193.8- (Trend weight 194.1) So very very sick the past couple of days but Covid negative. Blood pressure is way too low again and my throat is swollen up pretty bad. Knocking me off my feet and into bed. I will catch up on posts later.
05/16 -193.6- (Trend weight 194.3) I ended up going to the emergency room yesterday. I have a strep throat and the infection is what threw my heart off. I’ve been given an antibiotic, must closely monitor blood pressure and heart rate. De-stress and rest. That is easier said than done. So today is another day of travel for me. About 2 hours away to the endocrinologist for my diabetes. I’ll try to rest tomorrow Wednesday before the babysitting marathon begins again on Thur, Fri and Sat. Sunday off this week. No rest for the weary, as they say.

Hi, I'm Charissa - Round 223
Thank you, again, @QuiltingJaine for hosting this challenge!
Round 222 not the best. My take-a-way: lack of planning. Not just meal planning but event planning. Cinco de Mayo snuck up on me but I tried to manage the intake. Then my derailment came with my husband's surgery. Poor food choices and wine to end the day. Must get back on track in this round. The good news, I didn't totally erase the progress made in round 221! There's hope!

Projection/Actual
5/16 ~ 214.9/217 ⬆️ Well, I guess I'm glad I didn't look yesterday. I've got to get a handle on this. Funny, when I projected May - I didn't see such challenges. My meals are all pre logged for today and I'm under budget. Steps are trending nicely for today. I will focus on getting at least 64 ounces of water in...
Prior Days This Round
5/12 ~ 216.5/216.3 ~ New Round🙂 Yesterday was almost normal. Stayed within calorie budget, got my steps in. Short on water and didn't focus on hunger levels. Husband is back home, now the real fun begins!!! 🍎🚶🏽
5/13 ~ 216.1/215.9 🍎
5/14 ~ 215.7/215.4 ~ Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and those that serve in a mothering role! Enjoy your day. I am very ready to get back on track for the remainder of May.🍎👌✅🚶🏽
5/15 ~ 215.3 DNW - Just didn't want to see it. I'll look tomorrow. Splurge with cheese and crackers and some chocolate flavored wine.Projection/Actual

Round 223: JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS
Hi, I’m Amanda, almost 50, wicked short 4’11” from New England.
My 1st goal is for mid-June (trip to LA/Vegas),
2nd goal for mid-August.
Appreciate all your support.
- Pre-plan meals for the day
- Daily movement
- No Late Night Snacking
Round 221 SW: 126.8
Round 222 SW: 122.6 ⬇️ debloated 4.2#
Round 223 SW: 121.0 ⬇️ 1.6#
Round 223 GW: 119.5
5/12 – 121.6 ⬆️Woke up early for my walk, before it got too hot.
Made beautiful corsage and boutonniere for DD’s Prom. She’s so beautiful!
5/13 – 120.6 ⬇️
I think I need to kick up my daily workouts a bit, to try to lose 4# in the next 4.5weeks for my LA vacation. Need to add in cardio on weight training days (since I don’t burn that many calories with weight training).
5/14 – 119.4 ⬇️
I did measurements today; I’m steadily losing inches (from de-bloating):
- 1” in my chest ☹,
- 2.75” in waist,
- 1.5” in hips since last month’s measurement).
Happy Mother’s Day!
5/15 – 119.4 ⬆️
Didn’t overeat at the Mother’s Day lunch yesterday.
Great WO: 3 separate pull-ups this morning! Felt great/less bloated.
5/16 – 119.0 ⬇️
Great 4miles walk this morning, gabbing with gf.
You know, 1 good thing about being wicked short is that a loss of 8# is noticeable; I’m down 1 size!
BUT the reverse is true also: just putting on 5# and I look 5months preggo.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 223 (my 154th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Aim to stay under 140 and hopefully lose another pound. Need to stay on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

5/11 139.8 – 9.45 miles walked, just less than half of exercise calories eaten back. Pleased with how this round has gone; a pound lost since end of last and a whole binge free round, Coronation celebration was controlled. Yes, proud of myself for a change!!
12 binge free days.
SW RND 223
5/12
5/13 142.4 – after 12 binge free days, went totally off the rails for 2 ☹. Didn’t even do my walking ☹, missed logging yesterday, was even tempted to not weigh or post this morning, but have to get back on the wagon as I don’t want to face the consequence, so I’m back & I’ll try again.
5/14 142 – 11.89 miles walked, 2/3 exercise calories eaten back, feels better to be back on track, but looking forward to the bloating subsiding.
5/15 142 – no structured walking, met up with DD, DS & their families for a picnic at Calke Abbey, ran around with the little munchkins a bit, we all had a wonderful time, did indulge in an ice cream & a latte, maybe should have gave the red wine with our evening meal a miss, but no binge!
5/16 141 – 9.92 miles walked, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
4 binge free days – 3 days within exercise calories, consistency rules!

100 oz h20
5.12.2023 - ⬇️ 170.6 😳 Nice! I drank tons of h20 so hopefully that did the trick! My lowest weight to date since I started in Feb ‘22! YAY! 🎉 strength & cardio at the gym tonight. I also sat in the sauna for about 10 minutes. I did eat 2 squares of pizza for dinner - I’m hoping that doesn’t screw me. Downing some more water!
5.13.2023 - ⬆️ 171.0 😊 The pizza didn’t do as much damage as I had anticipated. My trending weight is 171.4 so I’m happy with this. Today is a rest day for exercising but we are bowling tonight, so that will be a little something.
5.14.2023 -⬆️ 171.2 Need to focus before this gets away from me. Ate some pizza again yesterday, but wasn’t horrible. One thing I learned is to not deprive myself, but instead to eat in moderation. Sometimes I feel like I have my eating disorder in check and other times it seems to win. So far, I feel I am still in control. Trending weight is 171.3 so I’m still in the green. I also need to get back to updating daily and not every other day. It’s been a hectic schedule lately.
5.15.2023 - 170.2 ⬇️ I do believe my plateau is over! 🎉 I was hesitant to think so earlier since I’ve bounced back and forth so much the past 2 months. As aggravating and sometimes discouraging as it is, I need to “trust the process.” No gym over the weekend, but did a lot of cleaning around the house and moving around furniture. Tonight is back to the gym for some strength & cardio.
5.16.2023 - ⬇️ 169.8 🎉🎉🎉 YAY!!!! I finally hit my 80 lbs lost!!! WooooHoooo!! Next goal is 90!
Fantastic, well done xx5 -

About 2 hours away to the endocrinologist for my diabetes. I’ll try to rest tomorrow Wednesday before the babysitting marathon begins again on Thur, Fri and Sat. Sunday off this week.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Round 223: JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS
Hi, I’m Amanda, almost 50, wicked short 4’11” from New England.
My 1st goal is for mid-June (trip to LA/Vegas),
2nd goal for mid-August.
Appreciate all your support.
- Pre-plan meals for the day
- Daily movement
- No Late Night Snacking
Round 221 SW: 126.8
Round 222 SW: 122.6 ⬇️ debloated 4.2#
Round 223 SW: 121.0 ⬇️ 1.6#
Round 223 GW: 119.5
5/12 – 121.6 ⬆️Woke up early for my walk, before it got too hot.
Made beautiful corsage and boutonniere for DD’s Prom. She’s so beautiful!
5/13 – 120.6 ⬇️
I think I need to kick up my daily workouts a bit, to try to lose 4# in the next 4.5weeks for my LA vacation. Need to add in cardio on weight training days (since I don’t burn that many calories with weight training).
5/14 – 119.4 ⬇️
I did measurements today; I’m steadily losing inches (from de-bloating):
- 1” in my chest ☹,
- 2.75” in waist,
- 1.5” in hips since last month’s measurement).
Happy Mother’s Day!
5/15 – 119.4 ⬆️
Didn’t overeat at the Mother’s Day lunch yesterday.
Great WO: 3 separate pull-ups this morning! Felt great/less bloated.
5/16 – 119.0 ⬇️
Great 4miles walk this morning, gabbing with gf.
You know, 1 good thing about being wicked short is that a loss of 8# is noticeable; I’m down 1 size!
BUT the reverse is true also: just putting on 5# and I look 5months preggo.
I’ve got 3 inches on you but I really relate to this!!2 -

Happy to see it though!!
5/14 - 123 - Had some planned indulgences last night with no regrets ☺️ I expect this will fall back down in a day or two. Plan for today is lots of water, fruits and veggies. Happy Mother’s Day!

Starting weight for R223: 219.3 lbs
R223 Goal Weight: 217.3 (98.6kg) for this round
Focus is evening eating this round - Trying different approaches, which I will comment on. I want to eat just enough at night to not have hunger pangs while sleeping. Not be overfull. Not eat treats my body can’t get energy from at night.
Day-Weight-Comment
5/12 – 219.3 – Finished a bad cold. Trying board games tonight.
5/13 – Sat – 219.2 – Friday was good. Games did change dynamics and did help with emo eating.
5/14 – Sun – 219.4 – Saturday learned NOT to drink beer in the afternoon – It affected decisions later.
5/15 – Mon – 220.0 – Likely result of sodium on the weekend. Sunday was able to get back to eating well.
5/16 – Tues – 218.0 – Ate well. Bodi workout. Evening eating still fine. Getting firmer about decision not to have sugary stuff at night seems to have worked. I was able to see that being loose on it resulted in big 2weight gain and that might have been enough. Making my pre-dinner meals more measured and low cal to allow for weekend and evening buffers.
5/17 – Wed – 217.2 – THRILLED! Ate well and 30 min Bodi workout. It’s funny how I started with seeing dinner/evening eating as the problem, but changing around my daytime eating seems to be right now and longer term having the bigger impact. It kind of solves the evening behaviors.. I do well with the old slimfast routine of meal replacements for breakfast and lunch, small snacks around those, then a “reasonable dinner”. I’ll see how far this takes me.
5/18 – Thurs - ? – Gardening & relaxed.

Round 223
May 12 - May 21, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for Round 223 – I think I am keeping this round simple. My goal is to just continue to adjust to being back up north with my more complicated life, and continue to plan and track, and remember to keep fitting in my exercise. Preferably daily, though that is slipping. Again, I would like to end the goal no heavier than I started. I am interested in losing a scant bit more – like 2 pounds.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. 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!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/12 – 128.8 Preparing to shift to Maine for the weekend. First time back since September for me. Lots to think about and pack up. Tomorrow, I get to help clean the boat to get it ready for the season (I get seasick so I am rarely on it). Today, we are going out to eat with family friends. I’ve already planned and tracked that dinner. Caesar salad, and an appetizer of Bacon wrapped scallops as my entrée. Decadent, but totally controlled for calories. If I add a cocktail, that will be a choice to go “over” on my calories.
5/13 – 128.6 Made it to Maine. I think I didn’t forget anything. Packing was tricky as I have not been to Maine since September and I couldn’t recall what I have here. Seems I did well. Yesterday, I tried a 30 minutes “strength” on Apple Fitness. The calorie burn is not there, but I need to diversify AND I need to just make sure I am doing something and not fall into the “all of nothing” and quit. My PCP did tell me that my back issue from last weekend is likely related to muscle imbalance due to walking/running only without working on my core. Last night’s dinner at Pine Point Grill (name for the fellow Mainiacs) was PERFECT and no regrets. Finishing this post then heading up to Spring Point marina to work on the boat so it is ready to transfer down to the Saco River next weekend.
5/14 – 128.6 I beginning to question the “good news” I was given last weekend with my RMR number. I was told my RMR was 1469 (from memory – paperwork is in Massachusetts). I am a thorough tracker so even if I am off it should have some meaning. Since 5/6, for 5 out of 8 days I have eaten less than 1469, with the highest day being 1641 kCal. Since RMR does not include daily living or exercise, that would imply I should be even more “under”. Meanwhile, weight is not moving, and I am even up .2. I’m actually in a happy place regarding my weight and all, I am just wondering about the information that I paid for. The RMR component, I am able to semi assess on my own. The bone density and body fat, I have no way to verifying without someone else providing a comparable test. Things to think about.
Going to get me a nice walk today.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s around the world, even if this is not your “official day”. You all deserve another day to be celebrated!
5/15 – 127.6 Now, I have to take back yesterday’s comments because a loss on this order could be online with the RMR number. Argh! Got a 5.5 mile walk in Maine yesterday. Now back in Mass for 10 days. I’m adding route notes (see above) so I can compare/contrast, or pick a known route for milage/time.
Had a simple steak on the grill for dinner last night, with vinegar based cucumber salad on the side. Interesting thing is it was a bone-in strip steak. Curious thing was that on MFP, the calories for it as a bone-in were half again higher than when I weighed the raw steak before, then cooked, then ate the edible portion, weighed the remaining bones, etc, and then tracked the difference as a boneless strip steak. The second number seemed the most accurate in my assessment, so that is what I used in the track
Today is “taking my parents out for lunch” do over. Last Thursday, they cancelled an hour before I was to pick them up. I’ve planned my lunch, and am working my day around it. (ATM diary look crazy over and I will delete items as the days go on. Easier than trying to find the items a second time.)
5/16 – 127.2 So confused, was expecting an up due to yesterday’s restaurant food and frozen pizza. Could feel that my wedding ring was tight overnight. Today is a whole day to work on things I need to do, including errands. I will get out and get some fresh air at some point in the day.
5/17 – 127.6 Good and the bad. “Good” means the 127.X’s are real. The “bad” is it reflects my behavior from last night. Went on a 9 PM bender. Could have stopped myself, but chose not to. It was mostly thin slices off a block of parmesan cheese (I did not purchase – MIL handed it to me). Back to "good", I tracked it all and own it.
Yesterday, I did get out and push myself a bit. Ran a mile, walked a mile, ran a mile, walked the remainder. First mile ends at the top of a hill, so it is a decent challenge for me. Yes, two weeks ago I “ran” a 5K (I walked about .23 miles), but it is amazing what one will do in a group setting, but not alone. I’d like to get to the point I can run this 3.37 route with hills, without walking, AND alone.
Today is visit #2 at Invisalign. It has been 4 months since I have seen the ortho, and 8 trays of movement. Nervous and excited about the appointment.

5/12 146.2 (trend 146.6) I had a bit of a weight spike over night, probably just water weight from carby snacks last night as I went a bit crazy with bread sticks and veggies with dip. I picked up my husband from the airport yesterday evening and was starving hungry after 6 hours in the car, so lost a bit of control. We also went to the pub for a pint and a catch up, so that didn't help! I'm glad to be getting back to my normal routine but also a bit worried about the extra temptation that spending time with someone who is a foody and eats whatever he wants, brings. I already had to talk him out of a takeaway last night! Fitted in a 4.5 walk in the morning, but no gym.
STEPS 13,217
5/13 146.0 (trend 146.6) Snacking in the evening is getting out of control, I need to find a way to manage things better. Totm is due soon and I can feel today is going to be shaded by pmt, I'm feeling grumpy, tired, and emotional. Did 1hr lower body weights but didn't find time for walking. We went to see a circus last night, it's a Ukrainian troop that's touring the country, called Circus Cortex. If you're in the UK and get the chance to see them, do!
STEPS 7,132
5/14 146.6 (trend 146.6) I haven't had much discipline so far this weekend, and it shows. Yesterday I was feeling really off, hormones I think. It's been so cold and wet in the UK this month, so I think there's a bit of nationwide gloominess going on, too. Anyway I was feeling rubbish so gave myself permission to have a really lazy day, hence the shockingly low step count. I didn't eat much during the day, then in the evening I made lamb kofta kebabs with garlic yoghurt, pita and salad. I had seconds, which I think is why I've got a gain today, 2 pita breads. This morning the sun is trying to shine, so I'm going to shower and get out for a walk before it changes it's mind!
STEPS 2,032
5/15 146.4 (trend 146.6) The day started well with a 4 mile walk and upper body at the gym, but then the sun came out and we got a bit de-mob happy and had a few too many beers in a lovely pub garden by a marina, then OH got a pizza which I had a few slices of, doh!
STEPS 15,123
5/16 146.8 (trend 146.6) 4 mile walk in the morning and 1hr lower body at gym. I was below my calorie goal and got more protein so I'm not sure why the gain today. It could just be because totm is due today and I'm a bit backed up and swollen. I'm going to have a consultation this morning with a dermatologist as my skin has changed quite dramatically in the last few years with wrinkles, dryness, rosacea, and sensitivity so I need some advice on how to take care of it. I've never done anything like this before and I'm a bit nervous of having my face looked at so closely and my lifestyle scrutinised, yikes, I'm very self conscious!
STEPS 11,477
5/17 146.6 (146.6) I totally blew my calorie goal yesterday and ate around 1700. I think I was just feeling frustrated at finding it so difficult to recover from my workouts on a calorie deficit, and was feeling tired and achy, so just caved in. Totm is a few days late, same as last month. I'm suspecting this is the start of perimenopause, boohoo. I went for a consultation at a beauty therapy place yesterday and have decided to have a few procedures. An under eye vitamin treatment, botox to my frown lines, and laser treatment to the broken capillaries around my nose. It's not something I ever thought I'd do, and it feels a bit vain and ridiculous to even consider it, but it's things that have been getting me down for a long while and they're not getting any better on their own. 1.5hrs upper body and 6 miles walked total.
