Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 242

musicsax

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 242 (my 172nd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, as always, so grateful.
Goals for this round to get into 138s solidly, hopefully lose a pound and keep heart rate under 50 beats a minute, then longer term goal to get back to 135 in time for Christmas (just over 5 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.

👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!

Hi everyone, I’m joining a bit late. I’ve been using mfp about 10 years and rather than losing I have gained through all this years. I lost weight only two times and one was with Saxenda I immediately gained back after stopping (so not recommended), and the other time I lost very slowly but gained it back in a few years. So here I am trying again. Most of my trials ended up in a few weeks, I hope this time I turn it to a lifestyle.

11/18. Was up most of the night the night before, so yesterday I dragged all day. Whats up with my sleeping patterns? ?!! I managed to get in a pretty good fat-burning work out yesterday but my steps were 🚫5k, ✅cal, macros, 65 min ex , 43 min cal 🔥 in Z 3. Stretch /agility.

11/19 Yesterday: 🚫 🚶‍♀️5k, ✅cal, macros, 61 ex min, 20 min Z3,🔥485 cal, 🏋️‍♀️20 min with DGS. We also played 30 minutes of basketball and it was so much fun! Very hard for me to stay in Z2&3 HR. Beautiful day.

NSV: Chose to walk with my grandson, taking our two pups to the vet and then picked them up an hour later… Before this journey, would’ve easily used the car. Walking with my grandson provided more great 1:1 time with him and 3k+ steps.

Slept 10 hrs last night. Today: stretch, tennis 🏋️‍♀️ and min 10k steps.

11/20 Yesterday: 🙆‍♀️🎾 🏋️‍♀️🚶‍♀️12+k steps, 💓Z3 90min, (total workout 196 minutes) 1234 cal & 🔥1106 total cal. Haven’t yet determined how to measure “fat cal 🔥” when not isolated. So for now measuring all calories “🔥” during workouts via Apple Watch & “Zones”.

After tennis, I walked extra, then walked 2+ miles RT to the grocery (mindful of HR zones). Then spent another hour pieceing together strength training/calisthenics/stretching options… Since I have the luxury of time on my side, I’m having fun with it. So much to learn!

Slept well but up at 4am. Still have energy this morn so let’s see what my day brings…
🙆‍♀️, 🎾, 🚶‍♀️, 🏋️‍♀️? Trying to ready myself for 🦃!

Planning for restraint. I’m not crazy about Thanksgiving eats, so I’m not overly concerned. BUT, It’s the 🍷that will be ever-so-tempting!

We are thrilled to meet our sixth grandchild Thursday!

Good luck to all! This 🦃 I’m not cooking so I’m fortunate to not be nibbling / eating for 3-4 days. Working out instead….

11/21 Yesterday: 🚶‍♀️12.2k, ✅cal 1321, macros, 71 ex min, 40 min Z2,🔥249 fat cal, 🔥375 total.

Figuring out how to utilize the “zones” app. Need to isolate a “fat- burning” workout on its own. I burn less calories per minute but the benefit is burning stored fat – a strategy to help achieve my fitness goal to “lose fat and gain muscle”. We’ll see how all that works out… experimenting till early January - for next InBody.

And, ngl , I am sincerely curious/wondering why scale results haven’t drifted lower… Not bothered by it, but I definitely continue a daily calorie deficit so there’s that….. Figuring out my body for sure. I’m patient and committed. Doing hard things. 💪🏻😎

All are on different paths and have unique goals. A commonality is that THIS is truly a battle of the mind. I can’t tell you how many times a day I have to CHANGE MY SELF-TALK. Be kind to yourself and stay determined. Keep your promises. Daily affirmations work.

HW 172lbs in 2010.
UG 130lbs ceiling
(+ 3lbs muscle/-3lbs fat) Next InBody 1/1/2024

In Aug 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take control of my health. I lost 30 pounds by 1/1/2015. Weight topped @ 130-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!

2020 - 2021, I fluctuated between 130 - 135lbs. Two more good years.

2022 crept up to 140lbs by 8/1. Dropped to 128lbs again by 9/30 then held steady till 12/31.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15. 15lbs BOOM! Just enjoyed eating way too much! Started tracking. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are!

I learned my choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight/fitness trends. My goal is to reach 130lbs as a ceiling. Pretty clear to me that once I reached my 60s, I would reach a goal weight and then go backwards. Thank goodness 145lbs was the max over the last nine years.

11/18: 137.5. I expected to be up a bit today. I went out to eat last night, and tried to carb load for the Spartan race I'm doing today. I perform better when I eat the day before a big event.

11/19: 138.5. Again, not surprised. I did a Spartan race yesterday, and indulged in a big meal afterward. I'm also a little sore. Definitely some water weight at play.

11/20: 137.3. Had a pretty lazy day yesterday. I did get to the gym and run 3 miles (had a PR on my time, yay), but didn't do much else. I tried to control the eating a bit, but didn't make the best food choices. I managed to tell my husband no thanks when he ordered ice cream, so I'm proud of that choice. My muscles are still recovering a little from the Spartan race on Saturday.

11/21: 136.7. Glad my weight is coming down again. Yesterday was a good day. Ran 4 miles. Ate well, within calorie budget. I'm still a bit sore from the Spartan. I have a busy day today, taking kids to appointments and starting to get ready for Thanksgiving. I'm just hoping I can fake the energy I need to go to the gym tonight.

11/21 - Holding steady. Still trucking along. I have my first holiday party to attend tonight with my Bible study group. Luckily for me most of the food won't be available to me since I'm vegetarian. I'm taking a veggie tray so there will be something healthy there. But at the same time, I plan to enjoy myself. If I go a little over on calories, so be it.

11/18 - I ended Round 241 yesterday at 244lbs. And woke up to 241.2lbs this morning. I've been constipated for a few days and now I'm not. Chalking the drastic change up to that. Beginning today I want to add exercise to my program. I have somewhat limited mobility so I'm only going to aim for 15 minutes per day. The low goal is doable for me and motivating when I get it done. I plan to add 5 minutes a week until I get where I want to be. Excited for another round. It really feels like I can do anything for 10 days! 💪👏🥳

11/19 - I went over my calories by a good bit yesterday. The culprit was some honey roasted peanuts that hubby brought. Soooo many calories for hardly any food. But I kept going by and grabbing a palmful. He's going to have to put those in his work truck and take them to work. I'm too new at this to have tempting high cal food in the house.

We also worked really hard on our house yesterday. We have some minor remodel projects plus trying to get some deep cleaning done because we have family coming Saturday for thanksgiving (our 2nd one.) For the last few years I haven't had the energy for deep cleaning and we haven't really been able to have people over, but the house, and thereby we, are suffering. So it's all hands on deck. The good news about deep cleaning is that I'm up and moving more. Bad news is that I get very sick (fibromyalgia) every time I'm overly active, and if course there's a super fine line there.

I didn't "exercise" yesterday but I was on my feet and moving for the majority of the day. I burned over 400 calories just in steps and not counting standing and lifting things. Got a lot more work to do today, too.

11/20 - Good day yesterday. I was well under my calorie limit. I made fried rice for dinner and used a commercial teriyaki sauce that had a lot of sodium, so I'm probably retaining water. We got a lot more work done on the house so I know I burned some calories. I doubled my step goal for the day. Sometimes the scale just doesn't reflect what you're doing no matter what. But my clothes are fitting better already and I can see a difference in my face.

But ultimately I want to focus on health. Weight loss and body composition changes are wonderful but I just want to learn to enjoy making healthy choices and being healthy.

Oh, and I saw a tip on a YouTube video to keep an 8-16 oz jar by the fridge and fill it up and drink it every time you go into the kitchen. I'm doing more like every other time, but I've vastly increased the oz of water I'm drinking each day with that one little change. 💦🌊

I'm 30F and committed to wondering less about the scale 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. This round is the big test.

Also, I've gotten a lot of inspiration from pages like this one showing how muscle is so important over scale weight to get me to eat more calories and ST more with these before and afters https://www.boredpanda.com/same-weight-fitness-transformations/

11/18 128.0 That's 7 pounds down since I started here! macros ✔️ ST ✔️
11/19 Macros ✔️ steps ✔️ I promise I'll be able to show my pants soon, 😂 I've got pics from Aug. 31 and Oct. 31 and the progress has been slow but is actually happening thanks to holding myself accountable to y'all. So if I can keep myself on track throughout this week it'll be Nov. 31 pants check!
11/20 macros ✔️ ST ✔️ steps ✔️ lol on my calendar ignorance, 10 more days til the Nov. 30th reveal
11/21 macros ✔️ ST ✔️ yoga ✔️
11/22 plan: heavy effort ST so that my muscles need the feast of tomorrow
11/23 USA 🦃 Thanksgiving Day 🦃 plan: don't bother logging anything and post-feast walk with family is already agreed upon so we don't food coma on the couch. I'm pre-Thanskging grateful that my family is all on board with my plans.

Day, Weight, Comment

11/18 - DNW
Weird to intentionally not weigh myself in the morning. I’ve been doing it almost every day for so long! It’s a beautiful, chilly, sunny Saturday here, and I’m about to head out for a walk and then a little garden cleanup. Then a friend is coming to give me a Cocker Spaniel grooming lesson — whole new kind of coat for me after decades of Labrador Retrievers and Australian Shepherds. Then maybe some housecleaning? Nah! Happy weekend, all!

11/19 - DNW
I feel very lazy today. I just want to lie in bed and read and knit and nap. But first, a walk, and some tidying up. Pretty bad, huh?

11/20 - DNW
I’ve been thinking of looking for a used dresser for storing yarn, so I can see what I have better than on the shelves I have. Sweet serendipity—a neighbor posted one free on our neighborhood fb group. She said the people they bought from left it. So today’s project is cleaning it well. It’s nice and solid but someone gave it a bad paint job. I’ll refinish it when it warms up in a few months, but want to use it in the meantime. So cleaning, moving, and filling it up will keep me out of the fridge for a bit!

11/21 - DNW
Feeling yucky this morning after a night with mild vertigo. Still getting that world-spinning-around-me feeling if I bend over or move my head too quickly. Also mild nausea. I don’t know what’s going on, other than I went to lunch with a friend yesterday. I had two eggs, two pieces of bacon, one piece banana bread, and way too much coffee. Maybe it’s the coffee. Maybe I need to go back to bed for a bit. Ugh.

Goal: Feel better physically and gain some confidence over the next 9 days. I will do this through 1) eating a more healthy diet 2) doing at least 4 sessions of strength training 3) going for at least 4 walks and 5) posting here, every day.

I can do this. And I am excited to do this. (I say as I sit here drinking my second latte of the day...)

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.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

11/19 130.5 Dinner last night with DD and her family at Mexican restaurant. Food was MEH but the place was so noisy you couldn’t hear yourself think. Not particularly impressed with either the margarita or the food.
11/20 130.0 We have so many leftovers from eating out! Yesterday was Great Greek day. I have steak leftover.
11/21 129.5 My feet were killing me last night but life goes on. Interestingly, my right foot (which has been hurting for 3 weeks) doesn’t hurt at all so far today. I’m going to the podiatrist about it tomorrow. Groceries purchased. Tomorrow I’m making 3 pies and 18 deviled eggs (36 halves) to add to the Thanksgiving buffet at our daughter’s on Thursday.

11/19 -DNW- (Trend weight DNW)

11/20 -180.8- (Trend weight 182.5) The damage on the scale could be much worse, so now I begin the task of teeter-tottering back and forth between the 170’s and the 180’s until it’s a solid 177 or better. That is not going to happen before Thanksgiving, but it is going to happen. (Just putting it out there in the Universe). I did pawn off my leftover Thai dinner from my trip to my foodie daughter. However, I still had leftovers from my travel lunch. I ate most of those yesterday and will finish today. It’s unbelievable how large some of the portion sizes are on these restaurant meals! It’s so hard to believe that I used to be able to eat it all in one sitting! I know they are high in sodium, even the unsuspecting meals, so I will be glad to finish today. Water, water, water.

11/21 -180.4- (Trend weight 182.3) I had a bad blood glucose drop yesterday evening (I’m type 2 diabetic). I haven’t had that happen in awhile. I had to quickly change my snacks planned to things with higher carbs. While I went over carbs on my macros, I still managed to stay within my calorie budget. I also had to eat the snack earlier than I’d planned making the rest of the night a bit rough, but I did it. I reduced my planned exercise and did not do anything additional late evening because of how bad it made me feel. I’m going to monitor my diabetic medications. With the recent weight loss, it’s a possibility I need a bit less. They recently reduced my thyroid med by just a tad already and the same may be needed for my T2D meds. I recorded a recent weight of 197 near the end of August which is when I really tried to start turning things around again. Since then, my weight is down about 17 pounds which could possibly be requiring a medication change. Especially since I am on the max dosages of all the meds I take. I’m going to monitor my numbers very closely (although Thanksgiving throws a wrench in it.). I’ll watch it closely for the next week or two and if my numbers are too low, I will reduce my Metformin. In the meantime, business as usual until I see a pattern. Being able to reduce my meds would be very good news.

I’m 65 years young, working on the last 10 pounds. November brings many birthday celebrations, and of course, Thanksgiving. Food during this month is not as big an issue for me as the empty calories of sipping wine 🍷 with friends. These next few days my goal is to have fewer 🍷 glasses on my daily reports, which will then equal fewer pounds at the end of 10 days! Good luck everyone!

Scale is going in the right direction today. Struggling to drink water because I’m not fan of water. Good day on the kcal front. Managed to stay inside my kcal limit.

Aiming to be more accurate with my calories, listen to my body, drink more water and move move move!

11/18 - 67.1kg (-0.5kg) - way to kick off the round! My partner and I have a babysitter today (for our first break in 5 months) and are heading out for a long lunch and then to a local beach bar. I won't be logging today. Will go for a walk with the big double pram this morning to even things out a bit 🥵💪

11/19 - 67.5kg (+0.4kg) - expected! Enjoyed a long hike with a friend this morning and back to the diary as planned 👌

11/20 - 67.4kg (-0.1kg) - hmmm feels slow to get back on track.

11/21 - 67.4kg - period arrived and my scale is now officially broken and being replaced. No wonder the numbers felt a little dubious...

11/22 - 66kg (-1.4kg) - New scale. Logged, ate well, and went for a run yesterday.
