There’s my uptick from the long “non-routine weekend”…. Back to ground zero for next round.

Even though this round was discombobulated per accident/schedule, I could’ve been much more self-disciplined, and mindful/intentional. I give myself a C+ for the holding pattern. I find that I enjoy reaching toward a goal more than a holding pattern. But of course, sometimes holding the line is all I can do!

Next round going all out. Will be FUN taking back my routine and focus! Will also return to my old posting format, & measuring my P:E ratio. I feel better, and I am more focused….

See y’all in R271!

@judefit1 LOVE IT! The total opposite of boring.

Round 271
Spet 3 – 12, 2024

62 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 two grandsons. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(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 (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). 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!

Day/Weight/Comment


9/3 – 135.4 Gotta just trust the process. Eating spot on, and fully tracking. Yesterday, I did do intentional activity. Not athletically impressive, but it was intentional, and that is a process win. Had to get something at Walgreens, in town, and instead of adding it to my car loop later in the day, I walked and walked a slightly longer route home. Then later in the day I convinced DH to go walk the beach with me. We are literally right on the beach, and I/we had not been on it once this year except to walk the cats. Anyhow, Intentional #1 got me 25 min at an OK pace, and intentional #2 got me over 30 min at a snails pace.

End-of-2024 Goal—weight 170.

Day. Weight/Trend.—Prev day calories. Comments.

8/24 - 197.2/197.4.—1173.
I’ve decided to post my trend weight as well as daily, since it’s more accurate in the grand scheme. I’m also posting my previous day’s calories to up the accountability, and I’m aiming for anywhere from 1100 to 1400 most days. We’ll see.
On a different topic…after years of having strong but unpolished nails, I got talked into a mani/pedi with a friend. I got gel polish on my fingernails, and went back twice more, so basically about two months of gel polish with 3 removals. The third time I wanted to see if there was any damage to my nails, so just had the gel removed and regular clear polish put on. It had a rough texture, and two nails broke/peeled, one into the quick, so I removed the polish at home and was shocked. Every single nail was peeling and/or tearing. So I increased my intake of collagen from half to full recommended dose to try to help my nails recover. A couple days later I started to feel bloated, like I had a cannonball in my gut. The only thing I could think of was the collagen, so I stopped it. I feel a bit better, but still not quite right digestively. Has anyone else had issues with collagen? I’ll try the half dose again once I feel normal again, but just curious. (Don’t get me started on warnings that should be required with nail treatments!)

8/25 - 199/197.8 — 1723
I went way overboard yesterday. Last night, really. I added about 600 calories snacking late. I’m don’t know whether I’m eating because I’m depressed, or depressed because I’m eating, but either way, I’m depressed and eating too much. I’m going to try to get a handle on some of this with some activity—clearing out my hobby closet specifically today, getting rid of things I no longer use. First I’m going to do some garden work before it gets too hot. Maybe cleaning up a few things will help my attitude.

8/26 - 196.8/197.5 — 1247
I did better yesterday. No nighttime snack.
@quiltingjaine I can’t imagine weekly manis, either! I did them at 2.5-3 week intervals. I mis-typed when I said a month—meant two months-ish. 😊

8/27 - 197.4/197.5 — 1235
I’ll never understand how weight can increase after two days of low calories, but there we are. Like many of you, we’re under a heat warning today, so I’m going to go walk around one of the big box stores for half an hour or so.

8/28 - 197.8/197.6 —1345
This is so frustrating. The past 4 out of 5 days my calories have been below 1400, and the other day I was below supposed maintenance. According to MFP and Sailrabbit, I should lose half a pound per week at ~1450 calories, and I have in the past. I’m on the edge of giving up entirely.

8/29 - 197.2/197.5 — 1550
More weird numbers. Oh well. On other fronts…I mentioned here a while ago that I had tossed many years worth of journals as well as a pile of unfinished, languishing manuscripts and notes, and felt “lighter.” Yesterday I moved to the next phase of dumping things…I used to paint (mostly watercolors) but haven’t touched my paints in 4 years and have no urge to do so. All the supplies have been taking up considerable space in my closet. I finally took the plunge—tossed some, donated some to local art teacher, and consolidated and relocated the few things I kept to a shelf in the garage, with a “if not used by, toss” tag. It wasn’t as difficult as I’d expected once I got going, I opened up some nice space (which I’ll fill with yarn!), and I feel better about that closet. There are some other things stashed on high shelves that I need to deal with as well (mainly art work I’ll never hang), so maybe today I’ll start on those. The other “mess” is clothes that fit thinner me 6 years ago, but not current me. There’s a label on them—toss if they don’t fit by 2022 😕— but there they sit and I can’t decide. I guess I could go through them again and cull some. Every time I open the closet I feel like they’re taunting me, so maybe I should donate most and buy new if I ever do get the weight off. Thoughts?

8/30 - 196.8/197.2 — 1352
Ok, a little movement. Yesterday I had a substantial breakfast (my fresher, healthier ham, egg & cheese muffin) and just half an apple for lunch, and I felt satisfied until dinner. I’m going to try better breakfasts and tiny lunches for a while rather than the other way around.

8/31 - 196.8/197.1 - 1251
Ever since I posted Thurs about clothes that don’t fit, I can’t stop thinking about them on my closet shelf, so today’s the day for some ruthless culling. I don’t know why it’s so hard to let go of things—I can’t recall ever regretting getting rid of things I’m not using. The anticipation is much worse than the aftermath. I’ll try to make Marie Kondo proud. 🤣

9/01 - 197.8/197.2 - 1861
Ooops. Pizza yesterday. Too much. But it was good! Back on track today.

9/02 - 197.6/197.4 - 1823
Cookout last night, impromptu, with friends. Ugh.

9/03 - 150.4 - I am bloated and retaining water. We ended up going out Saturday night and Sunday night (Saturday to the fish fry for the VFD, Sunday to a rodeo) and I didn't get near enough water and my food was not on track. Yesterday was a very bleh day which I had no desire to do anything. I did meal prep, though, so at least I was somewhat productive. Today I was back at the gym and got a good workout in while there despite still struggling with energy or mental capacity. Rainy days are forecast for every day this week so we'll see if I can pull myself out of this little rut or if this weather is going to leave me feeling sleepy and slow like it already is (rainy all day yesterday, too, when I started feeling this way). I think its my body and mind's way of telling me to slow down and rest. I'm listening!

8/27 - Apparently I didn't hit "post reply" after typing my post yesterday. Oops. I'm back to routine this week with regularly scheduled morning workouts. BF was been released to resume the gym with very large restrictions (5lbs max, no shoulder-focused moves). It's been nice having him get up with me, especially after I took a week to sleep in and recover from being sick. Coach lowered my macros very very slightly, a whole 5g carbs and 5g fat. We went a bit too low previously so we're inching very slowly back down since she knows I have vacation in 5 weeks and I'm eager to see progress before we go. Not much else to report on other than I'm taking things easy as I get back into my normal routine and allow my body to finish recovery (I still have some sinus drainage and I'm still a a bit weak/fatigued). Feels good to be back though! Let's see if I can properly hit "post reply" today haha!!
8/28 - I'm a little shocked by this. I did end up splurging and having a small extra (untracked) bite of nutella yesterday. And by small, I mean a big ol' spoonful. I was craving a sweet treat something horrible. I'm also incredibly sore in my quads today. I didn't think I'd be able to stand, nonetheless walk, after I struggled to roll over in bed due to the soreness. Wowza. Glad I took it easy and went lighter/less reps. Continued that trend this morning with chest. Today is a day I'm foregoing logging breakfast. I enjoyed without tracking and going forward I'll stay mindful of goals. I have mentally roughly estimated protein and fiber (my primary focuses) so I can ensure I get as close to my macro goal as possible for those two. Feeling okay with this since the goal is to eat intuitively going forward anyway and this is Coach's way of pushing me in that direction. She thinks I'm doing really well and I'm ready for this step so I'm going to trust her judgement!
8/29 - I was a hungry hungry hippo yesterday. I decided to forego logging my breakfast, per Coach's instructions of 1-2 meals intuitively eaten, and by lunch I was ravenous. I know I ate a balanced breakfast based on past logging of it, so I think I just had one of those hungry days. I'm back to tracking today and have everything pre-logged. I missed my dog walk this morning so I'm about to go take them before lunch (1 hour lunch break so taking it early I can still eat closer to 1230 and not cut into work) to get my steps in and fresh air. I have high hopes that by sticking to goals today, any bloat will drop off in the next day or two. I'm also still incredibly sore from Monday in my legs so that may also have something to do with the scale weight. Another reason to make sure I get my daily walk in one way or another! Got a good workout in - walked a bit then joined the first half of a fitness class me and another girl have wanted to try (we have to leave by 630 for work so we can only ever join for 1/2 a class). Kicked our behinds! Tomorrow is booty day as I call it: glutes, hamstrings, hips, low back. Hopefully some of this soreness will fade by then so I can get in a solid workout before the weekend without dying a little hahaha
8/30 - Back down after meeting macros yesterday. I'm feeling much less bloated, as well. Still feeling a little puffy but it will be hard to tell. I know BF wanted to get lunch together today and then we had planned a dinner date tonight so I'll be eating out twice which is hard to track and often leaves me a bit bloated even when I aim for the best options. Oh well, this is life. Tomorrow night is the fish fry for one of the volunteer fire departments (not the one I volunteer at) but we still try to go support each other's fundraisers. Supposedly this one is the best out of all of them in the county but we always hear about it after the fact so I set a reminder in my phone so we didn't forget this year. I'm not sure plans tomorrow (other than BF has MBA homework due) so if it's a low-key day, I'll estimate fish fry and pre-log and aim to be mindful for breakfast, lunch, and snacks to help offset the "eating out" bloat and water retention.

9/3-DNW-Made almond flour biscuits Saturday and almond flour pancakes yesterday. That sort of food sits well with DH, but it’s extra calories for me. Got quite a bit of walking in this weekend but need to dig two trenches today and will walk at the end of the day if it’s cool enough. See everyone next round!

Sheri, I read long ago that moving a mile burns the same number of calories whether you do it running or walking. I haven’t read anything that disputes that however, I suspect the long term would be different if you run - how many of us actually RUN?

@quiltingjaine I have heard similar things. Out of curiosity, I did the math from yesterday's two walks, based on my Apple's watches data from my walks. The faster one was roughly 70 calories/mile, and the slow walk was 56 calories/mile. Probably close enough for that premise to be good advice for "just doing it" regardless on one's pace.
