Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 240

steffibabiie · October 2023

@shmmm3 Back home, a lot of local elementary schools and some churches would take donations of leftover candy, as long as it was all individually sealed, to send to troops overseas. Not sure if that's something they do in your area, but worth checking into!

If you're hating the journey to a healthier you, that isn't healthy - even if you hit your goal.

Goals for this round: log everything, '100 days' habits.
Grocery shopping and meal prepping today, not much else. Will get a walk in this arvo and stretching.

Mon.30.10:
Feeling extremely unmotivated to get any work done today. I think that’s the hardest part of working from home. If I don’t “feel” like doing my actual work, it’s easy to be distracted by the jobs that need to be done around the house. So I think I’m going to do some laundry and vacuum, and hopefully then I’ll be able to just sit down and focus on my work and get stuff done.
I’ve decided to do No (added) Sugar November, which I’m taking a step further and excluding all sugar substitutes as well. This shouldn’t be too hard, as the only things I ever really have with sugar substitutes are diet coke, energy drinks (both rarely), and my protein powder. My protein powder is an exception though, I’d have a tough time hitting my goals without it. Natural sugars in fruits and vegetables don’t count, but nothing with added sugar. No dark chocolate, no breads, no pre-made sauces, etc. I’ve been doing alright with staying under 5g of added sugars, so hopefully I can stick to it the whole month.

Tues.31.10:
Nice walk last night, we’ve had a couple of crazy giant orange moon rises the past two days which feels very fitting for this time of year. My daughter will be out with her boyfriend tonight for Halloween things, so I’ll be on my own for a walk. I might try and get a shorter one in this morning, so I don’t have to do too long of one later. Our neighborhood is a lot of empty nesters, so halloween isn’t too popular here. Won’t be handing out candy as we’d inevitably have leftovers and that’s a great way to sabotage No Sugar November. Other than that, meals are planned and prepped for today, and I’ve got a long to-do list for work, so I should get to it! Have a great day everyone

Oh, yeah! Back for another round.

About Me:

This is my twelfth round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. I'm a mom of five and grandma of one 4yo that I babysit during the week when my daughter is working.

GW (short term): 220
RGW: 222

10/29 - 226.4 - 3.1 miles - Today has not been a good day. My arms got so sore last night after my Covid and flu shots. It hurt so much to put weight on my sides and I'm a side sleeper so I didn't rest well. On top of that I'm having severe sciatica pain when I sit in my chair. The only way to relieve the pain is to lay down, but it hurts my arms to lay down. Someone shoot me. Despite being exhausted this morning and in a lot of pain, I still went on my walk. That was probably a mistake. I felt awful the entire walk and cut it short (been averaging around 3.5 miles normally--I quit after 3 miles today). I'm not sure if it's a reaction to the vaccines making me feel so worn down or just the lack of sleep. Either way, I feel like crap. I think a hot bath is in order.

10/30 - 226.2 - 3.65 miles - Feeling much better today. I was able to sleep last night and woke up with a lot less pain in my arms. My right arm feels almost normal. The left is still sore, but I can lift it now. I completely cleaned my room, including pulling out my chair (which is a pain because it's broken so you have to be very careful) to fix all the books our kittens knocked off the shelf. I jammed them all in there so hopefully they'll stay put this time. And I vacuumed. I felt very accomplished. Then I made minestrone for dinner which is just an excellent, healthy dish. Lots of veggies and I didn't really have much pasta to put in. Most of the calories come from the kidney beans. Delicious.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 240 (my 170th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
Again want to stay solidly under 140 this round, hopefully lose a pound and get heart rate back under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to get back to 135 in time for Christmas (8 weeks!).

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.

10/28 DNW - no structured walking again yesterday as I had too many commitments on and too little time in-between, hence 188 calories over. However, my 'more generous generous sized' trousers which I am currently having to wear are now quite baggy & I'm start starting to eye up my more skinnier jeans! A good walk to Henley-on-Arden from the site planned today.

Day, Weight, Comment
10/29 DNW – 11.98 miles walked yesterday, did really well with food all day & then in the evening we were ‘treated’ to a surprise buffet; I ate all y exercise calories plus 200 ☹.
10/30 140.2 – there is the damage from the buffet! Never mind, I’m back in the groove now. 6.94 miles walked yesterday, 50% exercise calories eaten back.
10/31 140.6 – I’m going the wrong way !!! ☹☹ 10.23 miles walked. All exercise calories eaten back plus 61, need to reverse this trend NOW.

Some good suggestions for leftover Halloween candy, maybe also make the decision to buy a little less next year and have some fruit in reserve to give if you run out.

10/29 - DNW
10/30 - 152.7 - It was a crazy weekend with some old friends, some I haven't seen for 40 years and my 15 year old grandson stayed the weekend too. I made all kinds of bad food and drink choices, but I had a lot of fun. Back to tracking today.
10/31 - 151.8 - I made good choices yesterday, even though my coworker brought in a giant bag of chocolate candy for Halloween. I ate one mini york patty.

Round 240
Oct 29 – Oct 28, 2023

61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).

SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126

Continuing to figure out maintaining, and 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. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing 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!

I'm 30F and committed to not wondering about the scale this round and wondering instead about how great it's going to be when my daily healthy practices are so normal that it would be weird not to do them, even on vacations or holidays. It has been nice so far.

10/29 macros ✔️ lounged around doing mostly nothing. Chopping vegetables and cooking healthy meals for the week counts as exercise I'm sure. So exercise ✔️. I should be rested to ST, walk, or both today.
10/30 macros ✔️ ST ✔️
10/31 ⚖️ 130.0. macros ✔️ so close.

Previous Goals per Round

Round 236, resumed my mandatory treadmill M-F 30 minute minimum!!
Round 237, increased from 30 minutes to 40 minutes minimum!
Round 238, returning to IF and adding healthy habits from Apple Watch promptings. 1 out of 2, IF left me very hungry this round so eating something small when I get hungry, then eating a reasonable lunch (under 300 cal) and saving the rest for dinner. I guess still IF, just shorter windows (about 14 hours). Closing more difficult rings on my watch = success!
Round 239, Continue all of the above! Increase Water

Goals This Round per Day:
Vacation Goal
Some form of daily exercise
Water
Have fun

Normal Goals

- Tracking to the best of my ability 🍎and staying under calorie budget (just say NO!)
- Water (Goal 64 oz/SS and 96oz M-F) : ✅
- Closing my rings (which I've made a bit more difficult): 🚶🏽

Plan: for this round, I will ⚖️ 10/29 and 11/7. I will continue to record/ measure my daily food/activities, ST 🏋️‍♀️and NSVs.

SW RND 240 = 132.3lbs

10/29 ⚖️ 132.3
Yesterday 11.4k steps, macros ✅1402 cal, 135 ex min, 🔥574 ex cal, 🏋️‍♀️ 🚫

I’m now realizing the ⚖️ is simply not my endgame - my daily/weekly mindfulness, attitude, choices and healthy habits are the TRUE MEASURE of this journey….

90 days ago I determined that I wanted to weigh 128-130lbs as my UGW…. (Based on previous results and my high school weight!) But what if that is not optimum for me NOW? Wasn’t that just a guess?

My 2nd guess is that I need to “lose fat & gain muscle” … so I’m honestly just GUESSING at this point.

So…. I scheduled an “Inbody Scan” on 11/1 to get a realistic snapshot of my body…. (A more accurate reading of weight, body fat, muscle mass (& distribution) body fat %, water, etc. ). The scan will help me develop a weekly plan to reach the range that is best for my age/body/fitness goals and most importantly …. my closet!)

I’m so excited!
Let’s GO!!!🙌🏻💪🏻
_________________________

10/30 I only slept a few hours the night before last, so yesterday was mostly lost. I couldn’t pinpoint why I didn’t sleep since Saturday was a routine day. Yesterday I started off feeling tired but OK - then a random upset stomach hit me … so… “I called in sick”. (Primarily a couch day except I did scrub one bathroom & finished three loads of clothes) I simply had to stay close to home all day… I stayed within my calories, water, and macros. I was able to ST🏋️‍♀️ for 20 min. Felt yucky in the afternoon. I really didn’t know what to do with myself…. Today will be a new day I hope - I woke up my usual 2:30 but was able to sleep again. slow start but will keep going…. Grateful!

Let’s GO!!!🙌🏻💪🏻
_________________________

10/31 was very tempted to skip exercise yesterday … I got sidetracked, busy, piddling, etc. and then finally at noon I said, “you promised yourself you would do it- keep your promise! ***Wow… It was so hard but so glad I did it. My battle is in my mind.

✅1415 cal, macros, 77 ex minutes, 🔥337 ex cal. 🚫 6.8k steps.

***Looking over my journal, there’s been way too many days that it rained, was too hot, or for whatever reason/excuse I came up with, therefore too MANY times I didn’t reach my step goal, exercise plans or ST… Thank goodness I’ve been solid with calories and macros.

I just can’t “play it by ear or by the way I feel or by the weather” each day anymore! There’s too much at stake and too many variables…. I must PLAN for me, and I’m willing. 💪🏻

This is my new “unpaid” career. My appointment book is ready. 💪🏻

Today: Tennis, WALK to salon for haircut, ST🏋️‍♀️. Get out my calendar and plan each day “taking care of me” 5 day intervals.

Let’s GO!!!🙌🏻💪🏻

39F 5'4"
180’s; 170’s; 160’s; 150's; 140's; 130's; 120's
About me/Notes to self:

I could not lose weight until I shifted my mindset from "trying to lose weight" by calorie counting to "trying to decrease chronic inflammation" by eating the right foods + calorie counting.

I can maintain my good health by continuing these healthy habits:
1) noticing how my clothes are fitting and getting back to the scale and consciously recalibrating my daily diet when necessary.
2) eating primarily WFPB (Whole Foods, Plant-Based) daily to keep my daily fiber intake around 40 grams. Keep noticing where I can easily make a meal only plant-based and aim to have at least one vegan meal per day and at least one fully vegan day per week (this keeps me from getting lazy with vegetables and recipes).
3) limit ultra-processed foods to almost never and avoid added sugar unless it's truly a special occasion and a truly delicious dessert, preferably homemade. Road trips are a great time for splurging on grocery store precut fruits and premade fresh spring rolls.
4) use the muscles I have so I don't lose them. Muscle maintenance is metabolism maintenance.
5) alcohol is not a necessary part of any diet. Be mindful.

Short term goals:
1)maintain my current physical fitness level and healthy diet
2)lose a little bit of extra fat

Plan to accomplish goals:
1)do something fun that challenges my fitness level at least once a week
2)be serious about no added sugar. I am addicted. I cannot control myself with "just a little bit."
3)weigh-in and track the trend weight.
4)set MFP diary settings to maintain current weight so I can track my real calorie deficit with macro goals set to 50% carbs, 20% protein, 30% fat. Try to keep weekly average of net calories within the 1500-2000 calories range dependent on exercise. As long as I meet my protein (100g) and fiber (40g) goals the carbs and fat seem to fall into place and as long as my weekly net calories are around 1800-2000 I seem to maintain weight even without extra exercise so just being more conscious of not going above 2000 should be enough. Thank you, strength training!
6)have a light, carby breakfast, large lunch, small and early dinner. The later the dinner, the smaller and less dense it should be, for sleep and GERD.

Round Goal: Get the trend weight into 130.x, lose the extra fat, keep the muscles.

10/29 Trend weight: 131.5 Having a big breakfast is too hard to keep up. I'm not hungry enough. I looked up the breakfast habits of Greek and Japanese cultures (blue zones) and it turns out a big breakfast is an Anglo-European trend where elsewhere it's normal to have either nothing or something light like a pastry (Greece) or rice (Japan). So, this morning I had a piece of toast and an apple. It felt much better than forcing things and by noon I was hungry enough for a big lunch. I think this is a routine I can more readily keep. I decided this will be my last round until the new year with so much travelling coming up so the ultimate goal will be to maintain this round's end weight throughout the rest of this year and come back in January to work on the habits of 2024.
10/30 128.6 Trend weight: 131.2 another big drop! I wouldn't be surprised if I stayed here for 10 days again.
10/31 129.6 Trend weight: 131.0 All good suggestions about candy donations. That'll be Wednesday's errand.

Gloomy, cold, and wet here. So, after doggy walk I’m going to wind some yarn and decide what I want to knit next, and then get my office space organized for a writing sprint in November, hoping to dive into a new book. I’m sooooo out of practice it’s embarrassing. I’m going to try to re-establish my old habit of writing for 45 minutes, then walking for 15. Four repeats and I have an hour of walking and 3 of writing, which is a good day and keeps me from thinking about food all the time.

10/30 - 187
Brrr. And that’s it for the summer’s annuals! Oh, well, we had a good long run this year, and it is almost November (!). I think I’ll be getting my soup recipes out soon, and freeze “soup cupcakes” to pull out and heat for low-cal nutritious delicious lunches. Mmmmm mmmmm good. 🥣

10/31 - 🎃 188
No, I didn’t get into the candy. I went out for lunch with a friend yesterday and I’m thinking “salt.” It’s ok. 😊

@shmmm3 You’ve gotten several good suggestions for the leftover candy. Worst case? Throw it away. That’s better than eating it, and no more of a loss than handing it out to trick-or-treaters. 🎃

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

10/29 129.5 Pleased with this as I ate the leftover hamburger (and bun) and onion rings. Today is Great Greek day. Salad and steak. Planning to go to Planet Fitness again with DH.
10/30 130.0 Not surprised as I ate so many carbs the last couple of days. Had a Starbucks in the morning after the gym yesterday and then ate only my little side salad and two pieces of steak from my skewers. Lots of steak left over which I will eat today. I just realized that this round will take me up to two days before our granddaughter and her husband arrive. We have never met him and have no idea what they want to do or see or eat while they are in Las Vegas. I need to crack down on “doing me!”
10/31 128.5 LOL at talk to text yesterday - today I corrected eight to ate. Yesterday was a good day. Yesterday 4 oz of steak and 2 eggs. About 1T of peanuts in the afternoon. No dinner. I just wasn’t hungry. Today gym with DH.

10/31 - 154.6 - A little drop - I'll take it. I forgot to take my lactose pills, too, so this is a good sign. Today should be okay food-wise though I'm not getting movement in like normal. This weather is wreaking absolute havoc on my back and ankle. Trying to do any kind of workout will only make me more miserable so I'm taking it easy and allowing my body to simply exist in this moment. Especially with flying on Thursday/Sunday, sitting in bleachers Saturday, and a continuation of cold weather until I return. Best to let my body rest rather than set myself up for injury or more pain prior to vacation.

10/30 - Ouch. But expected considering I've been hovering in the upper 153.x range and the weekend was full of indulgence and dehydration (though not as bad as some weekends, there was a little bit of it). Very cold day, windchill below freezing - it was 80 yesterday morning. I'm bundled. Made soup for lunch and have a cozy dinner planned but behind on trying to log any kind of food so far. This weather has got me in a mood and I just want the cozy warm food and a nice solid layer of blubber to keep me warm haha!
