JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 225!

Xiao_Ya_

I had a long trip in May, so I wasn't able to keep track of weight or calories during that time, but that should be more of a possibility now. Fortunately, I only gained a pound or so. I don't really think that eating habits will help with all the mental health conditions I've been overwhelmed with, but it definitely helps me with a sort of sense of control.

I'm doing the weekly weighing challenge too since it's more loose, but at the same time, checking more often is helpful so I can see trend instead of perhaps an odd day on one of my weigh-ins.

June Goal Weight: 93.5 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 85 lbs (85-92 lbs is okay)
SW Round 225

6/1 : 96.5 lbs I'm having a lot of trouble with eating and my brain is not helping. I still need to work out, too, but I'm just so tired and empty that I've just been staring at a wall all day. Fortunately, it's a day off so I'm not hit with too many consequences.

65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 225 (my 156th). Aim to get back under and stay under 139 and hopefully lose a 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.

Round 225
SW 139.2
6/1 139.2 – 6.92 miles walked, a fifth of exercise calories eaten back, but 49 carbs over as friend brought a small slice of her 60th birthday cake from the party on Saturday evening, as I had the calories I did indulge.
6/2 139.2 – relieved that number has not gone up; no structured walking yesterday: DS, DIL & little DGDs took me out for afternoon tea as a belated birthday present, then we went out to the Peak District for the little ones to play on the rocks and to enjoy the fresh air & nature, was 920 calories over and I did rein in my choices! Maybe I should have accompanied DS on his 15K run this morning first – no way, I don’t like running!!!


The closest stand is mine, (I did take the coffee & walnut cake home to share with DH) DS & DIL’s is the far one, little ones had their own.

6/1 145.6 (trend 146.4) New round, new month, let's go!! I really need to push myself harder in June as I've been coasting along for the last 2 months and getting too comfortable. I'm upping my round step target by 15,000 steps and committing to no alcohol until I'm on holiday on 20th. I will go for a 4 mile walk every morning and strength train 4 times per week minimum. I will stick to my calorie target and prioritise nutritious food. Any sneaky bites will be logged, no cheating! I need a breakthrough...
Yesterday was 1.5hr lower body strength training and 4.3 mile morning walk, calories good, alcohol free.

6/2 144.8 (trend 146.2) Yes! Into the lower 140s finally! Lots of peeing yesterday so I must've had a lot of retained water.

GW Clueless…….

Figure out maintaining, and continue to work on best nutrition and exercise.

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

6/1 (Mass) – DNW Went on a mini bender last night. While I did track every last bite, I certainly am having regrets. I slept poorly. Kept being “hot”, and wonder if that is from a digestive system trying to cope with the contents. I had reflux again overnight, also a known result of evening food, and I feel disgusting and loaded down this morning. Today will be a normal day. We’ll see what the scale sees tomorrow. From a caloric point of view, my overage in calories cannot create more than a 1/4 of a pound of actual body weight. Next time I head into a bender, I need to remember these observations and how the non-scale consequences are worse than the scale.

6/2 (Mass) – 126.0 (Update for yesterday, I broke down and stepped on the scale after posting. I was 127.8!) Still no exercise yesterday. Spent the day dealing with parents’ needs, home for fast dinner and housework. Today is me, my home, and husband day. Going to get exercise as soon as my watch charges enough (ie soon). Calories were on target yesterday, even if the nutritional aspects were terrible (coffee, Nature valley oatmeal square, then peanut butter cookie, chocolate chocolate chip cookie, coffee made up breakfast and lunch).

Hello! New month...new round! I need to really work on consistency with tracking...EVERYDAY! It's tricky with being back and forth to my parents' place, which will continue this month. We leave for a big family trip to England and Scotland in 39 days and I would really like to be down to 160 by then so I don't need to worry about vacation gain taking me back up into the 170s, I never want to see them again. BUT...I seem to be stuck in a rut the last two weeks losing and gaining the same two pounds...bouncing up and down between 165 and 167. Time to break through that! Hoping my Dog Walk Challenge for the Canadian Cancer Society will get me out walking twice a day. Here's to keepin' on keepin' on!!

Female - 51yrs - 5.5"
Goal Weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R224 End weight - 167.2

6/1 - 166.6 - still in the 166 rut. We start our 50km Dog Walk Challenge for the month of June today. Hoping to get in a 4km hike this morning and then out for another 2ishkm tonight. Mack and I plan to blow past 50km and hopefully double it.
6/2 - 166.2 - Got a hike and a walk in yesterday....5.73/50km. Lots of stuff to do around the house before we head up to the weekend jobs this evening so morning walk will probably be shorter today, but hopefully we can get out tonight for another one when we get to mom and dad's.

@pezhed I did it and it worked out so well yesterday! After a a really stressful day I instinctively went for a beer as soon as I got home and then remembered, 'yesterday I drank so I'll have a bath tonight to relax and I can have a beer tomorrow.' Knowing that it's only one day off made it much easier. There was a point where I couldn't imagine going a whole day without drinking at all, especially after a particularly stressful day. I'm trying to apply the 'two-days-in-a-row approach to restaurants, sweets, and exercise, but with exercise the rule is switched to I can go no more than two consecutive days without a good endorphins boosting exercise.

6/01 - 183.8
Hot hot hot. You’d think I’d sweat a few pounds off! 😊 Happy June! Tomorrow I go for my evaluation for cataract surgery. Not very thrilled about it.

6/02 - 184.8
We had a very salty Mexican-ish salad for dinner, so I know this is water. Still depressing. I woke up with a huge adrenaline rush because of today’s eye evaluation (and, more, upcoming cataract surgery). I skipped breakfast, and still don’t feel great. Maybe a dog walk before we go will calm me down a bit. I’m sure my bp is up.

SW Round 225

SW: 129.0
Round Goals: 🥗🌳 Nature walk every day. Eat a salad every day.🌳🥗 No alcohol two days in a row. And log here everyday, even if only to share a check mark on the day.

Established habits to maintain: No ultra-processed food, fast food, dairy in any form, or added sugar (unless it's a special occasion and the treat is really worth it). Minimize alcohol and maximize water and tea. Yes to whole foods, plant based, and dishes and treats that are truly comforting for my emotions AND my body that's tied up with them.

GW: 127.0 I think I can reasonably make it two pounds down this round if I really try without letting it stress me out. I've been maintaining at 129 without much effort so that is really encouraging to me that I've gotten good at maintaining and my new lifestyle is finally a healthy one that is pleasurable, sustainable, and most importantly, not stressful.

6/1 128.2 Today marks 7 days of daily nature walks and day 3 of a salad everyday. I'm loving the walking. I'm disliking salad less than before so that's progress. I had mimosas for dessert last night which were so delicious and refreshing. To help me remember that alcohol should be limited always and not just when trying to lose weight I'm instituting a no drinking two days in a row policy. Sometimes I'll go all week without one but sometimes I'll find myself drinking every night again. I don't want to have to quit alcohol for a month again to break the habit so the new rule is to help me keep it from becoming habit. Alcohol should be a treat when consumed responsibly, right? And I would be healthier abstaining completely but I'm not interested in conquering that right now. I am treating it like a birthday cake in the freezer. I'll have a small slice when I want it but to keep it from becoming a daily habit I'll make myself take a night off from having a slice. It's not going bad in the fridge. Maybe that'll turn into every third night, fourth night, once a week? We'll see. I know I feel better when it's a treat and not an expectation.

6/1 128.2
6/2 129.0 ✔️ really stressful day but followed through with my intentions. Plan for today is to do a gentle walk. A friend was moving apartments and I lifted so much! When she would say that a particular box or piece of furniture was really heavy I got surprised at how easily I lifted it and carried it and set it down without being out of breath or straining. It was so cool to see the real life ramifications of home bodyweight strength training and she complimented me on my strength! It felt so good to be able to be helpful in that way. Who needs men? JK. My husband's superior strength was a necessity with a wardrobe but the two of us did it

6/2-166-I’ll take that after sitting and sewing all day. Ate off the taco truck and had a burrito in a bowl. Off to my monthly Featherweight Club (it’s a mystery) where we are handed a box with a pattern and fabric and that is our project for the day. Patterns are the same but everyone’s fabric is different. Everyone brings a Featherweight sewing machine; they are those OLD little LIGHTWEIGHT black sewing machines that came in a little black carrying case (some green ones were made that came in a matching case). Now people buy these (they don’t make them any more) and have them painted every color of the rainbow and they are darling. It’s a fun day.

6/02 - DNW - One swollen lymph node turned to 2 last night. Woke up with quite a bit of pressure pain and it was nearly impossible to swallow. I got up at 2am to do all the things to help relieve symptoms and curled up on the couch. Repeated that once before I gave in and here I am checking in. I'm planning on walking the dogs once I post and hopefully the fresh air will help a bit. I feel okay other than my lower sinus cavity and throat so hopefully I caught it early enough and it won't progress from here.

6/01 - Sodium bloat from dinner. Also woke up with a swollen lymph node just on one side and it's uncomfortable to swallow. I pulled out my herbs and capsules to help boost myself a bit to get through this. Hoping it doesn't last long. Godson had strep on Saturday and I was around him beforehand so I'm hoping it's simply that (bacterial) versus a viral infection of sorts. Bacterial is much easier to deal with. Also hoping it doesn't impact my run I'm about to go do. I will take it easy and if I need to stop, I'll walk as my body needs to not overdo it.
