    Round 229

    145320379.png

    MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
    ROUND 186 FOR ME.

    “Today….I am choosing Me”

    MY STATS:

    Highest weight ever (05-10-2016): 253
    Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
    R228 EW= 194.4
    R229 EW= TBD


    Current New Goals:
    Weight:
    Short Term Goal: To weigh less at the end of this round than I did at the end of the last round.
    Final goal: 145-155. We’ll see how I look & feel when I get there.
    Exercise: Move 30 minutes per day rotating activity.

    Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say
    never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.


    COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain.Black is no change.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    07/10 …..194.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

    07/11 -197.8- (Trend weight 196.5)

    07/12 -196.4- (Trend weight 196.5)

    07/13 -195.2- (Trend weight 196.4)
    07/14 -196.8- (Trend weight 196.4)

    07/15 -196.8- (Trend weight 196.4) No real progress due to some “iffy” choices. Good on calories but too high on carbs. I babysat all day which meant that I made lots of steps and plenty of stairs. I also added gold’s gym ankle weights to my wrists to increase my hand weights to a total of 3 ½ pounds each. That is 2 lb hand weights and 1.5 each wrist weights. I only biked for about 11 minutes because it was very late.

    07/16 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) What a great day it was yesterday until it wasn’t. I spent ALL day carefully planning and prepping my meals for the day. I cooked some pretty terrific stuff all within my macros, read another chapter in my self-help book and got in a touch of indoor exercise since we had a pretty severe storm yesterday and flood warnings. I was so in-the-groove and on top of my health and fitness goals. And then last night I ended up going to the same festival as @SheilaBoneham , the snack fest. I binged for sure on everything in the house that wasn’t mine to have. I was too scared to look at the damage this morning. I’ll have to starve today and I know that still will not make up for it by tomorrow. It goes on fast and trickles off slowly.


    07/17 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    07/18 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    07/19 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    07/20 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    My analogy to it going on fast and coming off slow is like water, dip clothes in water - soaked in seconds, how much longer to dry!!!!!????

    Round 229 SW: 157.2 lbs (trend 158.1)

    This round I want to stick with the basics: eat at my calorie target and get at least 22 active minutes in per day.

    7/11: 156.7 lbs (trend 157.9)
    7/12: 156.3 lbs (trend 157.6)
    7/13: 155.9 lbs (trend 157.4)
    7/14: 156.3 lbs (trend 157.4)
    Had a nice korma curry for dinner. I was satisfied after eating my portion but I still ate some leftovers. I haven't done that in months! I did try to resist but my mind was like "you have lost a bit of weight, you can afford to have a bit extra". That voice of self-sabotage still seems to be hanging around. I am concerned it will get stronger the closer to goal I get. I think the root cause is stress and eating gives me temporary relief from the stress. I need to heed the quote: "The truth is that stress doesn’t come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about your circumstances.”
    ―Andrew Bernstein. If I can manage my thoughts around certain events then I should be in a better position to deal with self-sabotage.

    7/15: 156.7 lbs (trend 157.2)
    This result probably reflects the washout the curry incident and possibly the preparations for TOM.

    7/16: 157.4 lbs (trend 157.2)
    Not sure why the sudden increase. I have stayed within calories and have been exercising as normal. I just need to persevere and not throw it all in just because an unexpected increase. Showing up here is the first step to keep myself accountable.

    7/17
    7/18
    7/19
    7/20

    Consider looking at yesterday food choices. Not number of calories, but things like refined carbs or sodium. I get temporary upticks. Even heavy advil use can do it to me.

    65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 229 (my 160th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round.
    Goal this round is yet again the same as last; to get back under and stay under 139. Holiday to Menorca is now in 63 days, if I don’t crack on I’ll be needing to purchase a bigger size in holiday clothes and I do not want to do that. So, 63 days, 6 rounds at a pound per round should easily get me to where I want to be, only I can do it, I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I knuckle down!! Really try 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.

    7/10 139.6 – 4.33 miles walked, managed to get 50 mins of fast paced walking in, ¾ exercise calories eaten back. 0.2 pound down from end of last round, better than nothing!!

    SW RND 229 138.8
    7/11 138.8 – 9.4 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back. A good start to the round, now to stay under 139!
    7/12 138.8 – 8.79 miles walked, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
    7/13 139.8 – 11.07 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back. Hopefully this is last nights pasta dish (high in carbs) – left overs for tonight.
    7/14 141 – uggh!!! No structured walking as childminding day for little DGS, ate over calories!
    7/15 142.4 - 2 days binge totally wipes out 6 days of sticking to plan; now I have more ground to make up to my holidays, when will I learn!!?? 57 days to holiday and twice as much to lose as I had on Wednesday. No structured walking as persistent rain all day, but 2 hours of dancing yesterday evening, stopped only to visit the Ladies !! I’m starting again today!! Try to salvage something from the round.
    7/16 141 – Food & drink was text book which shows on the scales, but again no structured walking due to weather; we normally walk to see MIL and then walk for a further 7+ miles, but due to the rain we took the car and then went on to town to do some errands which we had been putting off whilst enjoying the dry weather & then chores at home on return, so a productive day. Today will be more of a challenge as we travel up to DS for lunch but, looking forward to seeing him & family.

    7/17 140 – stayed on track with portion control at DS’s, and didn’t feel hungry for the rest of the day so only a pear & banana eaten at tea time after the return journey home. Only 38 minutes of structured walking managed, 113 calories over.

    07/17 - 153.2 - That hurts. I'm so beyond bloated. FamWife made my favorite broccoli slaw and then a new bean recipe she found. I'm guessing all that fiber is what's holding me up. It did, however, help with TMI which is always a struggle around TOM, but unfortunately after I already weighed and drank a ton of water and my coffee. Also had smoked pork loin and a cinnamon apple cupcake (minus the frosting) SD made. All good on water intake and hit 10k steps. I did my kettlebell workout as well as a walk with the pups already this morning. I'm very hungry so I'm eating broccoli slaw for breakfast and I have more slaw to eat on for lunches as well as more pork loin and bean dip.

    Previous Day's Comments
    07/11 - I'm sore muscle-wise and I went on a very hot fire call yesterday. I'm sure I'm holding on to some water from slight dehydration plus my muscles. I still managed 90oz but not near enough after sweating for almost 2 hours in gear. I don't look as puffy as yesterday so hopefully this bloat will be gone by tomorrow. Today I did 10 rounds of fast run (almost sprint) for 60 seconds, walk/recover 30 seconds before I came to get the dogs for a cooldown walk with them. Dinner tonight will be homemade Taco Bell Crunchwrap supremes that I'm slowly getting better at making. Not sure lunch. Also have to drop off my Jeep to get worked on. Hopefully it's nothing at all. It's a busy busy day for me not even accounting for work.
    07/12 - I'm holding on to something.... I'm wondering if TOM is causing me to retain water and bloat. I'm not due for several more days, but bodies are weird and who knows? I was under calorie goal yesterday and had 80oz water. I'm still a tad sore, but not as bad as yesterday so not sure I'm retaining water from that. Today my goal is 90oz, staying under calorie goal, moving every hour, and hitting 10k steps. I did my doggie walk and kettlebell workout already this morning. Lunch will be a burrito bowl with leftovers from Crunchwrap copycats last night plus some black beans (we used up all the refried beans). Not sure dinner yet. Trying to fast until lunch, if possible. Otherwise, 2 hard boiled eggs OR a salmon packet. I will pre-log what I know so far!
    07/13 - Ooookay? TOM hasn't hit but it's due any point in the next 4 or so days and I'm expecting to have some water retention from that still. I logged on the high end of calories for the day, as well. Maybe salt retention dropped off? I don't know, honestly. My hip is still bothering me a bit from sprints on Tuesday so I decided to do my intervals on the rower today instead. Still cardio, as planned! Took dogs for a walk after to cool down only to realize it's so hot and humid out already I didn't stop sweating or cool off at all. At least my heart rate had a chance to level out haha If we go to Fam's, it'll be curry and naan for dinner, otherwise I'm not sure. I still have enough leftovers for another burrito bowl for lunch today. As usual, will pre-log what I can
    07/14 - I somehow forgot to weigh this morning until AFTER I had my coffee and went on a walk. Oops! I'm still shocked at this weigh in. No TOM yet, either. Tomorrow may be higher as we just ate out at an Asian restaurant and sodium was plentiful. Also going on the lake tomorrow so depending on when I wake up vs when everyone else does, I may not be able to check in. Will see. Didn't hit step goal as SD wanted to play a couple rounds of rummy and I sat through that. Today I'll hit goal.
    07/15 - Sodium, as expected and I'm experiencing cramps with no TOM so I imagine I'm holding on to some extra water there, too. Not worried about it. I have a weigh in Monday so I'm simply hoping to behave enough this weekend to show maintenance or even a small loss for that. Lake today, as mentioned. Goal is to limit alcohol and drink a bottle of water between every drink. Be mindful of liquid calories and balance with food. I'm giving myself grace if I don't hit 10k steps today as my Fitbit doesn't always track my steps in water like it would on land. Will focus on just moving in general.
    07/16 - I didn't get a chance, I had a whiny puppy waiting so I made my escape from the bedroom as quickly and quietly as I could with the pup in tow so I didn't disturb BF. I didn't want to see the damage anyway, I'm so beyond bloated. I chugged a bottle of water this morning, though, and felt instantly better so it was a mild dehydration feeling through the night, but noticeable enough to make my sleep restless. I'm feeling quite bloated. TOM did start so I'm hoping I can drop off this hormonal, sodium, AND dehydration bloat by weigh-in tomorrow. Also hoping to have nice drop by the end of this round as I leave Thursday to go to a concert out of town. We won't be back until Saturday and I'd like to have to battle only the 2 1/2 days of eating out versus a full week's worth of damage.

    Sorry it's huge but I just got FamWife to send me the recipe for this bean thing. So good. We want to try to thin it and turn it into a soup as well.

    Round 229

    145320379.png

    MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
    ROUND 186 FOR ME.

    “Today….I am choosing Me”

    MY STATS:

    Highest weight ever (05-10-2016): 253
    Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
    R228 EW= 194.4
    R229 EW= TBD


    Current New Goals:
    Weight:
    Short Term Goal: To weigh less at the end of this round than I did at the end of the last round.
    Final goal: 145-155. We’ll see how I look & feel when I get there.
    Exercise: Move 30 minutes per day rotating activity.

    Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say
    never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.


    COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain.Black is no change.

    ********LOOK AND SEE HOW THE UPS & DOWNS OF MY JOURNEY JUST HELPS ME BE A STRONGER & MORE DETERMINED ME********

    07/15 -196.8- (Trend weight 196.4)

    07/16 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW) What a great day it was yesterday until it wasn’t. I spent ALL day carefully planning and prepping my meals for the day. I cooked some pretty terrific stuff all within my macros, read another chapter in my self-help book and got in a touch of indoor exercise since we had a pretty severe storm yesterday and flood warnings. I was so in-the-groove and on top of my health and fitness goals. And then last night I ended up going to the same festival as @SheilaBoneham , the snack fest. I binged for sure on everything in the house that wasn’t mine to have. I was too scared to look at the damage this morning. I’ll have to starve today and I know that still will not make up for it by tomorrow. It goes on fast and trickles off slowly.

    07/17 -198.4- (Trend weight 197.2) I took a peek but didn’t like what I saw. I will be doing some prep cooking today and will get in some exercise that I should have done yesterday as well. My strength training, however, is going well.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    SW: 213.8

    7/11 ~ Vacation

    7/12 ~ Vacation

    7/13 ~ Vacation

    7/14 214.0 (+0.2/+0.2) ~ I got on the scale last night after eating dinner just to "see". It said 215 - I said, no way! Holiday and 10 vacation days and I'm up 1.3 from the start of last round (pre vacation)!!! Deal! I continued to fast 16:8 for the first couple of days then it was too hard to maintain. I averaged two meals a day, lots of drinks, lots of water and I exercised everyday except travel days. I'm going to jinx it but I should easily hit my lowest weight since doing these 10 day challenges by the end of this round. I'm excited!

    7/15 215.5 ~ Post vacation there was nothing at home to eat that was good for me. Originally I was supposed to fast for 20 hours and resume eating on Saturday but that didn't happen. Ended up with a frozen pizza and there must have been a lot of sodium and I probably didn't drink all my water.

    7/16 DNW
    7/17 214.5 ~ Ok, definitely sodium. Yesterday I was a MAJOR couch potato. working hard today to get back on track.

    @SModa61 thanks for the tips. As well as TOM preparations I did increase sodium intake over the last few days. So it's probably that combo. I haven't taken additional medications other than my usual ones but thanks for the heads up for Advil. I am not too concerned about the uptick. I have seen the pattern before and I know if I sick with it, my weight should come back down again.
