Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 254

pettycoatjunction

🍀🐥🌷The start of spring to motivate us

Snow last week and 70 degrees today! Time to start thinking about wardrobes that fit in warmer weather. Hopefully I will see a half pound loss this go around… which will put me in the 130’s!

SW RND 254. 131.5🍀

3/17. 132.8. Ouch… too many social events lately! They finally caught up to me!
3/18. 132.6
3/19. 132.2
3/20. 132.8
3/21. 132.3.
3/22. 132.1. It’s a slow stumble back down, but down is a great thing. Spent several hours yesterday working out in the yard before the rain came back today.

SW RND 254

3/17 - 186.7 lbs - Still working on making the habit of tracking my intake stick, did only a short walk around the neighborhood today but deep cleaning my apartment made me move a whole lot today.
3/18 - 185.9 lbs - Had a day out today, walked almost 10 miles, and probably ate more veggies than I usually do in a week.
3/19 - 185.5 lbs - I'm still not really consistent with tracking but my diet is a lot healthier than it had been even just a month ago and I am always keeping track of how much I move, even though I want to get more serious about tracking my intake I at least see that I am doing things right and I certainly can't complain about that! Weight fluctuates but I've also lost 1.5 inches around my hips since the beginning of the month.
3/20 - 185.3 lbs - Had a lazy day today, not much to report.
3/21 - 185.3 lbs - The weather wasn't that great but I still went for a long walk after lunch, plus both lunch and dinner were packed with various veggies. I feel lucky that I could eat fresh veggies all day and not get tired of them.
3/22 - 185 lbs - Another day, another walk, plus taking some book donations to the library. It's not that far away but carrying a box filled with books for about 1.5 miles is still a good workout, I already know I will feel that in my arms tomorrow.

@Chapter_3 Im so curious! What does the beads Emoji mean?

It’s a jump rope! 🤣🤣🤣

Laughing out loud, over here! Too funny! Thanks for enlightening me. I'd have never figured that one out in a million years. I thought maybe you were Catholic and those were rosary beads or something.

@pettycoatjunction I don't know where you are, but I think your rains are hitting here as I type. You can have them back if you'd like!

🎷 65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 254 (my 184th). Thank you @itladyee for keeping this going, so grateful for you stepping in when @Quiltingjaine & myself were MIA!
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale still being erratic, obviously still reflects rate of consistency (or not!) with walking mileage as well as food. Must concentrate on consistency, really want to get back. And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.

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 target of 130 = 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.

SW RND 254 Day, Weight, Comment

3/17 142.4 - (trend 142.2) Yesterday we were around Royal Chatham Historic Docks all day and then travelling back home, so no structured walking.
3/18 141.4 – (trend 142.1) 7.26 miles walked yesterday, 20% exercise calories eaten back.
3/19 140.8 – (trend 141.9) 8.93 miles walked yesterday, 20% of exercise calories eaten back. Some of this loss is due to an upset stomach that I’ve had since Sunday.
3/20 140.8 – (trend 141.8) 8.90 miles walked, less than 30% exercise eaten back. Lovely spring day so I was able to get out in the garden, did some weeding and potted up some new plants.
3/21 140.8 – (trend 141.7) 9 miles walked yesterday, 75% exercise calories eaten back.
3/22 141.4 – (trend 141.6) no structured walking as childminding little DGS. I’m really behind with my average daily walking, the weather has not been kind with it’s precipitation!! I do not walk in the rain!!


3/23 140.4 – (trend 141.5) 6.46 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back. Oldest DGS 6th birthday today, trip to a farm themed park an hour and a half journey away from us, and later there will be cake involved – it is the law to participate on someone’s birthday !! LOL 😊.

3/17 ⚖️ 131.0lbs
Yesterday: 7 miles. Beginning to jump rope & build toward 2000 jumps a day. Also, kettlebell routine. Stormy all day today: will squeeze in fitness & Habit Mechanic workbook. I committed to a singles 🎾match tomorrow, which makes me officially crazy.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

3/18 130.2 ✅💪🏻 & finally hit protein- but no reading or 🏋️‍♀️. (Most important goals 🚫) Literally forgot to 📿. (Jump rope). Today will be super active… I’m playing a singles 🎾match this morning and then focusing on my other activities to ✅ off goals one-by one. Food prep for the week!

3/19 129.6 ⚖️ is cooperating but Muscle not increasing. Inbody scan is the only device that can track muscle mass with relative accuracy. MUST lift more. I’m simply not attacking it, and “skinny fat” persists.

Had so much fun at my tennis match yesterday… Lost in a third set tiebreaker… (Which means it was a really close match). First time I played singles in four years & I held my own! My opponent was 20 years younger. Health victory!

Read two chapters of Habit Mechanic. Learning…

Confession: My new weekly report was posted in MFP and I reviewed it… I literally skipped three days of logging and I didn’t even realize it. 🥺 That’s how discombobulated I am since starting this new consulting role.

Offering tremendous respect for everyone in this group… juggling family & work… Here I am retired, working a handful of hours per week, and I’m experiencing challenges with relatively “doable” goals. The mind is an interesting beast - our attitude, choices and priorities… How? Why? This round, I pretty much mindlessly jumped from 253 to 254 without a re-focus. Will address that today.

BTW, my name is Carolyn.

Today- reflection, reset & more tennis and 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️📿.

3/20⚖️ 129.8lbs
✅ but only 10 min of 🏋️‍♀️. Playing too much tennis was my excuse.
I have 🎾 again today then I have catch-up work. Learned from HM that 98% of our thought patterns and actions are habits… Changing them is possible, but it takes EFFORT/hard work. Called WILL POWER. Yesterday I noticed many tinkering, piddling thought patterns & choices that were simply wasteful. Three hours of do-nothing. While food/drink were spot on, I completely wasted the afternoon. Do BETTER TODAY! Your future you deserves more. Need to remember how great it feels to ✅✅✅ each box. Why am I not choosing to do better / be better? what is holding me back? Still reflecting? Time to act. Today: must 🏋️‍♀️& 📿. You owe it to your soul, mind & body.

3/21 Better day. ✅ all. 🏋️‍♀️10 min. 📿 300. @ Client’s office all morn. Today will tackle 🏋️‍♀️📿 and structured walk this afternoon. Bridge tonight.

3/22 Good Day yesterday. Storming all day today but I will get it done!

3/23⚖️130.0 ✅
I did not get it ALL done yesterday. I got it “half” done.
300 📿 jumps, 10min 🏋️‍♀️ and 🚶‍♀️8K. Last night, I enjoyed Mexican food for the first time in a LONG LONG time… Shrimp tacos (lettuce wrap!) and one Paloma… A few chips & salsa, but not many. NSV: Enjoyed last night in moderation without guilt - I’m ready again this morn!
We might be traveling today, so I’ll exercise /walk @ sunrise! One chapter HM.

About Me, WOE & Health Journey
****************************

F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean Ketovore 🥩. Track macros, kcals, all exercise and NSVs. HW 172lbs in 2010.

WOE since 7/2023: Whole Foods. No processed foods. Animal-based proteins. EGGS, Beef, pork, chicken, seafood, venison and grass-fed whey protein. I count macros & kcals - always will. (Since portion control is my issue). Keto is high-fat but I’m now leaning lower healthy fats with leaner proteins. I had paralyzing IBS for 20 years. My mother was diagnosed with celiac’s disease in her 50’s. Following her lead, I eliminated wheat, oat, barley, and rye several years ago…. Dairy? Hard cheese, HWC and butter - an occasional Greek yogurt. Vegetables destroy my digestive system… I love vegetables, but when I splurge, I pay for it for a few days… I do enjoy berries, lemons, limes. Avocados are my weakness. Enjoy a piece of dark chocolate on occasion. Generally, I eat btw noon and 6 pm. (IF18/6). Alcohol? Used to be a social drinker and would enjoy a good martini/scotch or Paloma at home while cooking dinner. NO MORE. Root of many evils. Primarily, the destruction of will power and the enemy of optimal choices. I’d rather journey toward my best-self. I haven’t given up alcohol completely, but I enjoy it sparingly on special occasions. This is me. I finally feel terrific.

History:

I have ALWAYS been ON a “diet” since at least high school. I have never been comfortable with my body - NEVER EVER- no matter my weight.

Pre- college: 125-130lbs
College- up to 160lbs one year… graduated @130lbs.
Many different diets each decade!
1990 (Age 32) - Avg.135/140 lbs (my son was born 1988)
2000 (Age 42) -Avg 145 -160
2010 (Age 52) - HW 172 lbs in 2010. 130lbs by end of 2014.
2020 (Age 62) 130-135lbs
7/2023 (Age 64) 145lbs
1/2024 (Age 65) 130lbs

UGW = 129-130lbs
⬆️SMM: 100lbs +
BF% : 23%

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Six years!

Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….

2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.

8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.

2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. My nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣

The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.

I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE - to enjoy my “Senior” years to my fullest.

While active with 🚶‍♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️‍♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️‍♀️ 🙆‍♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus. I want healthy/fit choices to be my first nature.

Cumulative Round Results
7/15/23 SW 145lbs
R231 - R 247, lost 15lbs to 130.
Avg loss 1lbs per Round. Painfully SLOW.
Jan/Feb: Ticked up to a steady 132ish. Happier@129-130.
(I was in “maintenance” for 4 to 6 weeks & slowly ticked up.)
130.4 on 3/16/24

“Fit & Healthy” - striving to continuously improve my strength for an active quality of life. Let’s go!

@Chapter_3 Im so curious! What does the beads Emoji mean?

It’s a jump rope! 🤣🤣🤣

Laughing out loud, over here! Too funny! Thanks for enlightening me. I'd have never figured that one out in a million years. I thought maybe you were Catholic and those were rosary beads or something.

Oh my- Now THAT is FUNNY! Burst into giggles! (When I put “rope” in the emoji search bar, that’s what comes up!!!) it just might be a rosary!! 😎 Every prayer helps!

Ugh my day was hijacked- what was supposed to be a quick community project meeting turned into an all day affair.
I was unprepared and ravenous when I left, so when my husband suggested dinner at the local pizza place I was all in.
I ate a huge loaded salad but also some calamari, garlic bread and two ciders. It was all I ate yesterday but it was just a calorie bomb much later then I would normally eat and I felt too full after. Geez I still feel full 10 hours later.

Strength (4x): 1 of 4

March 22nd: Was feeling a little low after some bad news and went to comfort food on default before I caught myself. The damage wasn't too bad, (under calories and not back on the belly!) but the higher carbs and sugar may have completely negated my 24 hr fast Oh well ... its FRIYAH and hopefully time outside and a good nights sleep will turn my mood and weight around. Have a great weekend all!

March 21st: “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” ~Maya Angelou

March 20th: Up late and hungry, let myself have 2 oranges LNS last night. Cells sucked it up like a parched plant, so no regrets, lol ~ Starting the day much later than usual, knew I wasn't going to weigh until after working out fasted. 75 mins @ the gym was 45 min class w/ weights, bands and ball + 30 min water finisher. Calling this a Stretch and Strength Day so plan on getting more of both this eve. 🥳 whatever happens ... #FinishingMarchOnAHighNote

March 19th: BOOOOO!!!! It was so high this morning I had to give it the hand and run to the gym ASAP! 202 is only after fasted aqua aerobics this afternoon. IKR?! Totally sucks. But again, aint mad at it. Know its probably totally some meltingly good, hard to resist brisket I ate wayy too late last night. Its been lingering all day. Currently still fasted @ 9,563 steps and 631 cals 🔥but its still early enough for light weights and leg work before bed. We'll see.

March 18th: Holding on to onederland by a thread! but not mad about it. Did the math and have lost 2.8% body fat, 13 pounds and a total of 10 inches!! from hips, breast, arms, waist and thighs since starting January 1st. 🏆🏆 Feeling much stronger, leaner and happy with my progress overall, so no more second guessing the scale or my choices!! :Planning to push myself with slightly harder dietary and exercise goals until April 9th (first 100 DAYS) hoping to lose an additional 7+ pounds and 2% body fat. YESSS still aiming for the stars, but if I miss am already in the sky ...
