Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 253

_JeffreyD_ · March 7

Thanks @quiltingjaine , @Krysless2 , and @UTMom81 for the water advice. In general it seems like I need to up my game from 8 glasses. The 66 oz. goal I have listed is based on a one-liter water bottle I have that I refill and dispense into a drinking glass. Two of those a day right now. I don't count my morning coffee (or any other flavored beverage) in the total.

_JeffreyD_ · March 7

/food logged; group exercise; 66 oz water/ I will take this scale-reading and run. Now to keep my head straight today. I often have a mindset that since my weight took a little dive, it won’t hurt to indulge a little. DOH! I see that today’s Rotary Club lunch is stir-fryed something-or-other with egg rolls. A good test of my self control.

Our Rotary lunches are prepared by a local “resource center” where adult people with developmental disabilities spend their day on various activities. One of their units is a catering business and they do a FANTASTIC job. I love that our club supports this business. The food is always really good and made with fresh ingredients. There is always a good green salad and fruit option on the buffet if you want to avoid or supplement the main course for some reason. Trust me, the only reason I would avoid the main course is because it is high in carbs or calories. Or, maybe the homemade dessert looks like a suitable alternative that day.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

3/7- 190.6 Yesterday was my first day with my boxing club in months. I have some back issues that sometimes puts me on the recovery list. I’m not 100% but it felt good put my gloves on.

@Skyleen75 are you in a group that boxes dummies and bags for exercise, or are you putting your nose in front of someone else's fists? I could do the former, but not the latter.

March 7th: This is why daily weighing can be so friggin emotional. You think you're doing everything right and then BOOM, WTH?! First you play the guessing game ... did I eat too much, sleep too little, not move enough? Is it the sugar or the salt? After all of that mind mess, the next thing I did was grab the measuring tape! And hallelujah ~ breast, waist, belly button, lower abs and hips are actually smaller or the same since last check. So OK ... kiss my azz two pounds. Onwards!

Ok day 1 here we go!! It was my anniversary yesterday and we went to a movie. I went way over my calories, so was expecting to be higher this morning. But thankfully not.

I’m really working on not overeating on special occasions or when I go out to eat.

I'm Crystal! 40 yrs old, wife and mama of 3! Plan for now is OMAD + dessert within an hr. Aiming for 1200 calories/day, less than 90 carbs and low sugar. Recently added more carbs in so I could have fruits with dessert. If I'm not eating fruits then my carb and sugar count is lower. Good luck to all! ❤️

Charlie had a good first agility class yesterday, and I got some exercise. I feel so clumsy out there—agility has never been my sport with my dogs, so I don’t know the footwork. (I’m more of an obedience, tracking, and scent work fan, plus good old long walks.) But I think this will be fun. I was really hungry when I got home, but ate responsibly.

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.

It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition.
Spent last round on vacation and only gained half a pound, so that's a win! Now it's time to get serious and lose some weight before my son's wedding at the end of April.

I get it! My issue is I've flirted with an eating disorder in the past and can get too extreme, so I need to remind myself that moderation and health come first. I've had a tendency to extreme dieting and it's caused health issues that are now safely under control- and I want to keep them there!

Whatever gets you to your goal (safely) is what's best for you!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/06 …..177.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

03/07 -177.4- (Trend weight 178.7) I have been flirting around in the high 170’s for the past 4 Months. If you look at my spoiler above this post you will see that in the last 10 rounds I have lost 2.6 lbs but in the 10 rounds prior to that I lost 17.6 lbs. So I spent some time last night going back over my MFP food diary to those dates to see what I was doing/eating that helped facilitate the 17.6 lb loss. I found I was cooking more and relying less on processed or frozen foods. Because of that my sodium counts were half of what it has been lately indicating I am probably retaining more water also. I seemed to have at least two days per week that were very low calorie between 1000 and 1200 with the rest mainly meeting my goal of around 1400. On all days my carbs were staying in my range of 80 or under. My glucose numbers were getting in better control which affects fat storage big time. I have mentally noted some of the foods I was eating and will go back to some of those menus soon. Of course there are variables, like the fact that I was still taking a water pill every other day. Other medications were slightly different. Foodie holidays were included in the 2.6 block and the winter snowy weather affected my outside activity. This confuses things a bit, but I can clearly see a difference in my diet as well. I hope that by sharing all this it will encourage others when they reach a plateau (or are finding things difficult) to look back at those diaries on good days or months and remind yourself what was working in your diet or exercise routines. Logging is invaluable for the information it continues to provide. So…… I am happy to be typing in pink today because in many of the challenges lately I have started day one in a gain (blue) and end up just chasing my tail the whole round which is Not progress. Good luck everyone and Welcome to all the New Friends who are joining us this round. This is a safe, fun and informative place to be and I am so glad you are here!

03/07 ⬆️ 218.4✅🚶🏽I did not have a good food day yesterday. Nothing that I can pin point as the reason for my choices. It was a late night as I got my manicure and pedicure done so about 7:30 when I got home. I had cooked chicken yesterday, so I heated that up but just wasn't satisfied. Then there was snacking, then there was wine. The scale shows it today. But that was just one day... Today, back on track.

Many thanks @quiltingjaine .

I am trying to set a proper goal for drinking water. I know I don't drink enough. I have heard the adage about 8 glasses per day (64 oz?) . Anyone want to chime in on what you use for your goal and what benefits you actually experience?

I aim for the "half your body weight" goal. I realistically range between 48 and 80 with 48 being a really bad day.
My Benefits:

I go to the bathroom a lot - so I assume that's flushing my system
I do see a "freshness" in my face. My husband says I'm vibrant
It makes you feel fuller so you "supposedly" eat less

Here are some from the web. I guess there's a lot going on behind the scenes..
1. It lubricates the joints

Cartilage, found in joints and the disks of the spine, contains around 80 percent water. Long-term dehydration can reduce the joints’ shock-absorbing ability, leading to joint pain.

2. It forms saliva and mucus

Saliva helps us digest our food and keeps the mouth, nose, and eyes moist. This prevents friction and damage. Drinking water also keeps the mouth clean. Consumed instead of sweetened beverages, it can also reduce tooth decay.

3. It delivers oxygen throughout the body

Blood is more than 90 percent water, and blood carries oxygen to different parts of the body.

4. It boosts skin health and beauty

With dehydration, the skin can become more vulnerable to skin disorders and premature wrinkling.

5. It cushions the brain, spinal cord, and other sensitive tissues

Dehydration can affect brain structure and function. It is also involved in the production of hormones and neurotransmitters. Prolonged dehydration can lead to problems with thinking and reasoning.

6. It regulates body temperature

Water that is stored in the middle layers of the skin comes to the skin’s surface as sweat when the body heats up. As it evaporates, it cools the body. In sport.

Some scientists have suggested that when there is too little water in the body, heat storage increases and the individual is less able to tolerate heat strain.

Having a lot of water in the body may reduce physical strain if heat stress occurs during exercise. However, more research is needed into these effects.

7, The digestive system depends on it

The bowel needs water to work properly. Dehydration can lead to digestive problems, constipation, and an overly acidic stomach. This increases the risk of heartburn and stomach ulcers.

8. It flushes body waste

Water is needed in the processes of sweating and removal of urine and feces.

9. It helps maintain blood pressure

A lack of water can cause blood to become thicker, increasing blood pressure.

10. The airways need it

When dehydrated, airways are restricted by the body in an effort to minimize water loss. This can make asthma and allergies worse.

11. It makes minerals and nutrients accessible

These dissolve in water, which makes it possible for them to reach different parts of the body.

12. It prevents kidney damage

The kidneys regulate fluid in the body. Insufficient water can lead to kidney stones and other problems.

13. It boosts performance during exercise

Dehydration during exercise may hinder performance.
Some scientists have proposed that consuming more water might enhance performance during strenuous activity.

More research is needed to confirm this, but one review found that dehydration reduces performance in activities lasting longer than 30 minutes.

14. Weight loss

Water may also help with weight loss, if it is consumed instead of sweetened juices and sodas. “Preloading” with water before meals can help prevent overeating by creating a sense of fullness.

15. It reduces the chance of a hangover

When partying, unsweetened soda water with ice and lemon alternated with alcoholic drinks can help prevent overconsumption of alcohol.

Day, Weight, Comment
03/07 - 149.4 - I'm bouncing around here a bit but it's still an improvement from my previous bouncy spot of about 152. It's a rainy day today so I'm unsure if I'll be able to sneak in a walk with the dogs after dinner like I have been all week so far. I meal prepped tonight and tomorrow's dinners yesterday before my Chiro appointment (sheet pan meal so other than chopping, I could finish work while "cooking" hehe). This morning I had a far more intense paleo version of Chinese Lemon Chicken for lunch today, tomorrow, and Saturday. Unfortunately I cannot locate the steamable stir fry veggies I could've sworn we had in the freezer for what feels like forever! Guess I'll have to improvise with broccoli. It's a good thing I love broccoli or I'd be so tired of it by now. Anyway, I was getting some software installed on my computer so IT had to remote in and I took advantage to get meal prep done (glad I started it so early! It took over twice as long as the recipe said it would). If weather cooperates, I'll head into town tomorrow and walk the dogs on the river trail once BF leaves to go get the kids. Saturday I'll run the hills around my house so I can walk the dogs after, get ready, and head to town for groceries (to avoid the back and forth in one day with my 1-hour round trip to town)
