Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 275

SW RND 275: 132.8
RGW: 132.8
Not setting an ambitious goal for the round since I was dehydrated for my start weight and I’m already back up. Would be happy if I could just legitimately weight my round start weight!
Non-scale goals:
🏃🏻♀️ or 🏋🏻♀️ work out 7/10 days
🚫 no drinking 5/10 days
📝 tracking 6/10 days
⏱️ intermittent fast 6/10 days
10/13 - 134.2. Had a major snack attack at the farmer’s market yesterday. I’m also really bad at drinking water on the weekends. I probably drank like 12 ounces yesterday 🤦🏻♀️ Today we have a fall festival at my son’s school that will probably have some delicious treats on offer. I’m going to tread lightly, though! My son is very excited to try to dunk the principal in the dunk tank. He is such a happy kindergartner 🥹
10/14 - 135.0 🏃🏻♀️ Impromptu Mexican dinner last night. I kept it balanced by drinking a margarita but eating fajitas with just one of the tortillas haha. Tried not to go wild on the chips. Definitely a salty dinner and my inadequate water consumption continued. The beginning of the week is always bittersweet. Not thrilled to be back at work but I'm a lot more disciplined when I only have to consider myself during the day and can spend a little time planning dinners. I'm sitting at a cafe drinking only black coffee despite all the tempting treats around me to start off on the right foot. Then therapy at 10 which is long overdue. Good way to start the week!
10/15 - 134.2 ⏱️🚫 My body sure likes 134ish. I went way over yesterday. I made the mistake of eating my kids' leftover quesadillas for lunch. Very fatty, high calorie, and low nutrition. It sent me down a spiral of snacking, mostly high carb foods. I know that I'll never be satiated off of processed carbs alone, and yet, there I was, eating everything in sight. Then the pot roast I made wasn't ready until 6:30 which leads to all of us snacking endlessly. I should at least be able to work out today. I found out yesterday that the company's priorities are pivoting away from most of what I'm working on, so my projects are almost all delayed. I've been a little overwhelmed by everything I have to do so I guess it's a bit of a relief? But also feels like my job is in jeopardy. I'd hate to get laid off after 6 weeks of working here! They said there isn't a reduction in headcount but I bet if this directive had happened before I got hired, they wouldn't hire anyone for this position yet (in pharma my job isn't really required until you're getting ready to go commercial; filing for commercialization is getting delayed by 6 months). I guess I'll have more time for fitness this way, eesh.

I seem to have found the key for me, finally. I’m not finding it as difficult as I imagined to stick to my fast from supper until breakfast, and wonder why I couldn’t stop snacking at night before. I guess you just have to be in the right place mentally.
10/14 - 193.4/193.7
Salty dinner last night, but otherwise on target, and one full week of IM. It’s getting easier. 😊
10/15 - 193.6/193.5
I weighed in a bit earlier than usual, which may explain the slight uptick. Nothing else does! I’m off this morning for my second post-laser surgery laser treatment to clear cloudiness in my new lens. I can’t say the first procedure made any difference ( other eye), but we’ll see.

Very light dinner last night before concert, however I have a dinner with colleagues at a Mexican restaurant this evening. I’m sure that tortilla chips will be on the table and those little suckers are hard to resist.

I'm sorry I'm so sporadic in my participation in this group. I'm having a hard time focusing on my health goals at the moment.
So 10 days. I can commit to 10 days of focusing. Here we go.
SW RND 275
10/13: 155.0. A bit higher than I've been recently, but it's not surprising. Food and drink have been a free-for-all. I did, however, get to the gym last night for my treadmill run.
10/14: 154.7. I had a pretty good day yesterday. Stayed in control of my eating (even when my husband ordered a ton of ice cream!). I did 2 walks and a treadmill run (4.25 miles).
10/15: 154.5. It wasn't the best day, food-wise, but wasn't the worst either. I can't say the McDonald's wasn't worth it, though. I know it's gross crappy "food", but it's still is my guilty pleasure, so I consciously splurge on it sometimes. 2 walks and some time on the treadmill.

Yesterday was full of fishing, yard work and college football. I was surprised by the drop from yesterday, but I will take it.
Did I mention that we bought a Nespresso coffee make? Our trip inspired us to drink less, but better coffee. Kind of an upgrade from the k-cup, but I am not interested in going “full commitment espresso machine.”
DW returns from girls’ trip today, So I need to straighten things up a bit. I will stand at attention while she does the white glove test. 😊 Hope she doesn’t look under the rug.

Well, I tried a new fiber gummy yesterday that ended up making me feel like I was going to puke. As a result, no Zumba last night. I'm still feeling kind of queasy, so no walk this morning. I was absolutely shocked to see the scale move though! I was stalled around 235-236 for a week, and then I started to see movement again.

@judefit1 Wishing you a successful surgery and speedy recovery!5

Welcome @kkmark - you've found a supportive place to be. @cpanus, the walk to the ruins and wild flowers sounds just lovely! @judefit1 best of luck on the surgery. I'll be following your recovery with interest as plan to do the same next spring after ski season. @JessicaLee441808, it took me a couple rounds before I was able to post daily because of those "little blips", but through everyone's posting I learned that's the way it works. But I still don't like them
Me - Meg, 5'5", 65, desk job, moderate daily exerciser
Daily Calories @ 1630 for one pound per round!
GOAL #2 135 LBS
Don't let “perfection” get in the way of “good-enough”
Round 275
10/13 - 138.2 Busy day with lunch & dinner out. Dangerous territory!
10/14 - 138.4 Evening walk, noon BodyPump, leftovers for dinner. Clean eating focus
10/15 - 138.0 Morning swim, water intake focus, veggie plate planned for dinner
It's chilly in Nashville but not so much we need the heater. I'll be drinking hot lemon water and green tea to get me through the morning. Maybe shivering all day will help me get back into the 137 range where I visited last round. I don't like popping into a new new low then popping back up and landing.

Thoughts at the beginning of this challenge:
Last round I had my normal goal of a 12 pound loss which is approximately 4 lbs per month. That comes to about 90 days leaving the other 10 open for special holidays and social occasions. In theory, it’s a good plan. In practice it is a Mountain to Crawl, uphill, both ways. However, each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I CAN make, no matter how big or small. Sadly, I gained a little over 6 pounds last round. I hope to turn all that back around this round. After all, here in Northern Michigan I wait a very long time each year to finally get to good weather and more outside activity. I really want to capitalize on the good weather in the summer months and increase activity and drop pounds. I’m failing miserably with this so far in 2024. Time to maximize the rest of summer and early fall with challenge #20 and make the magic happen! I am so very grateful for all the support from all of you that I get on a daily basis. Working on my health has become my #1 priority. My main goals are to maintain my remission by staying cancer free and to keep my diabetes in control. Losing weight is key to both goals.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day 88-10/14-194.6-(Trend weight 193.4) What in the world is going on with my weight? I even tried a different scale I have as a backup and the huge increase is accurate. Can stress really do all this? Back in my younger days I would LOSE weight when I was going through such worry and stress because I could hardly eat! Yesterday was a good day “diet-wise”. I did sneak in a protein drink between my lunch and dinner (it’s rare that I need anything during that time) but I fit it into my macros. I even got on the exercise bike for 22 minutes which I haven’t done in awhile. I feel like my world has just gone crazy. Today I will aim for another good day. I know I need to increase my water so I will work on that. Tomorrow I travel in the late morning for the day for another distant medical appointment. My son & I will probably eat at a great steak house they have in that city. The carbs wouldn’t be too high if it wasn’t for those fresh loaves of bread. I just wish I wasn’t fluctuating so badly prior to my travel as the restaurant and all the sitting will only add insult to my injury. Nothing I can do right now but go with the flow and trust the process. Enjoy your week my friends.
Day 89-10/15-191.2-(Trend weight 193.2) What a weight swing today! It’s Amazing how the physical can take on the symptoms of the emotional. Things are still not resolved in my family drama and I still feel tied up in knots. Traveling today so I will expect the scale to be up tomorrow but I will try to make all good choices even though I know I am usually over on carbs especially when I dine out. I was running in this same weight range earlier in the week so I hope this is closer to my true weight but its so hard to tell when I am feeling this stressed and not getting much sleep. Time will tell I suppose. I ate well and within plan yesterday but not enough exercise. But hey, my refrigerator and freezers are completely cleaned out and that should count for something!

@Chapter_3 I thought I had a handle on it and have no idea why half a protein shake and half of my Chipotle salad caused an increase. These are the 🏄♂️ 🌊 waves of life I ride!

@pezhed ~ sorry to hear that your job may be in jeopardy, but if they are not reducing headcount, maybe things will be ok? The downside, you may not being doing work that you enjoy... Fingers crossed that it works to your advantage.
@Sheilaboneham ~ good luck with your laser treatment.
@jspecies11 ~ good luck with those chips. They get me too!
@fazizzle ~ nice movement on the scale!!!
@judefit1 ~ Wishing you a speedy recovery. I have a nice bunion (said no one) that I probably should do something about .....

10/14 - 185.6 (no walk, but did log and stayed under calorie goal, water only, carried on the streak of meeting my IF hours)
10/15 - 185.4 (today is my oldest's 21st.. and he actually wants to spend it out with us. I'll try to make mindful choices, but I'll also not feel too bad. The win is that my adult kid wants to celebrate with ME.. lol.. so we'll be doing that.)

10/13 - 156.5
10/14 - 155.3
10/15 - 155.6 - I'm officially back from vacation. It has been hectic so far but it should calm down after today since I got all my errands and appointments done. Work is still going to be busy but those are only certain set hours of the day and the rest of my time can flow as it will. I have resumed macro tracking (so far 3 days), water tracking (3 days as well!) steps (yesterday and today), walks (yesterday and today) with the dogs who are also now home from the boarding/vet place, and gym (2 days thus far, 3 more days planned). Weight is likely to bounce around this week as I drop bloat/water weight but hold on to extra water from soreness (I'm already incredibly sore from Monday's leg day). This is okay, the goal is to ease into my routines and healthy habits without stressing myself out horribly. I'm glad to be back! I will aim to catch up on all of you if work breaks and evening time allows

RND 275 - JGMTD #45
Mission: Continuously improve daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.
#HSF 📣#bestshapeofmylife📣
#helpfulhabits
About Me & R275 Commitments:
********************************F65, 5’6” married, MawMaw Proud. Clean P:E (ProteinG> (Cg+Fg) A clean/whole food WOE- (🚫processed foods). Track macros, all fitness and NSVs. I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life.
HW 172lbs in 2010. Lost 30lbs in 2014. Crazy🎢 for 10years. Joined JGMTD R231 7/31/23. Lost 15lbs 8/1 -11/23. Said goodbye FOREVER to the 🎢! I’ve named my maintenance journey “#HSF” & on my way to
📣#bestshapeofmylife
👇🏻Oct Level Up (Down) Plan
***************************
I pledge to prioritize each of these #HSF choices EVERY DAY of Oct:
1. P:E: Proteing greater than 1:1 vs. Energy g. [Pg > (Cg+Fg)] (and cals = avg. maintenance).I will continue this nutrition plan. It is supposed to support muscle gain with fat loss while 🏋🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️ 🎾. I will continue to track NSVs/macros/ activities, etc. to learn about my body.
2. 🙏📝📚🧐 - I will continue to pray, journal, research. This is my aspect of “leveling up” because I am nothing without my relationship w/Jesus Christ. I’ve also grown into loving/enjoying learning about my body & healthy aging. Replacing BAD habits w/ GOOD habits is a journey in itself. This practice helps me stay present /mindful of many decisions/ thoughts/ actions that impact not only nutrition, but improves self-talk & interactions w/others.
3. 🏋🏼♀️this is my biggest challenge. I still don’t like it. Not one bit. I have some days that it clicks, but it’s a daily struggle. Living “fake it till I make it”… Faking my “identity”. My hope is that some 🏋️♀️version eventually becomes a healthy habit. I’m working on a minimum of 10-minute “🏋🏼♀️snacks” 2-3x per day, 5x per week. Gosh, how I wish someone, ANYONE would have told me in my earlier years that 🏋🏼♀️is the key to fat-loss / maintaining - NOT cardio. I was brainwashed.
4. Healthy Aging - includes mobility, flexibility, balance and agility. While I do stretch every morning plus “stretch snacks”… I want to up this game… I added ⏱️“sprints” (which is NOW only fast jogging… 😂) and plyometrics (celebrating a 2” vertical jump) 😂. I read to “sprint” is vital as we age…..
5. I have much “work” to do with family relationships. Won’t detail here, but it’s a challenge & my overall health will not flourish without this being acknowledged and improved. Mind, body & spirit are connected. I won’t be fully content until I reconcile this part of my life.
6. Sleep- This is a big one. I’m usually fast asleep by 8:30-9PM. I can’t stay up later…. I love getting up early. I’m good with a 5AM wake up but I want to sleep soundly through the night. Will continue to prioritize this key component to health and well-being…
7. Have fun… lighten up … & give myself permission to be spontaneous. (This is THE HARDEST)!!!!
👇🏻Review since my 1st R231 7/31/23 NSVs/Journey Reflections
******************
1. ✅HSF: Avg. close to 9k steps per day for 12+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - #HSF 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅#HSF: 🙆♀️ Daily stretch greatly improving my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅ #HSF 📝 🙏 everyday
4. ✅#HSF: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
5. ✅#HSF : Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
6. ✅#HSF : zero to 15g of net carbs/ day
7. ✅Clean P:E 110-130g Protein
8. ✅#HSF Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM. (At least 5 days/wk)
9. ✅#HSF 💦70-80oz daily
10. ✅#HSF Alcohol limited to rare occasions.
11. 💤 7 to 8 hours sleep per night is a goal. Sleep is still inconsistent the last few rounds…
Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.
Rotating 110g to 130g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable. In my dreams, I want to be 128- 130lbs #HSF … 😎 I want to be Healthy, Strong & Fit to live out “Chapter 3” enjoying a full range of mobility, flexibility & activities… !

✅ 🏋️♀️20🚶♀️11k 💤 4hrs 🎾
Pg 20g
Decided to go ahead and attempt the 72 hour fast. I’m on 36 hours. Only 16oz of bone broth yesterday (plus 2black coffee and 80oz 💦). Only water/black coffee for the next 36 hours.
I’m not doing this for weight loss. Doing it to give my system, a brake & regenerate cells. If you’re ever interested in learning about fasting /benefits, there is a plethora of information on the Internet.
I slept horrible last night - a surge of energy / kept tossing and turning. Very little sleep. I’m hoping I can nap sometime today and / or get a good nights sleep tonight.
I felt/ feel +++ except for a slight headache around 8 o’clock last night.
Yesterday: I played 🎾3hrs & 30 min of 🏀 with my DGS & 20 min🏋️♀️. Just kept going….
Today: ? 🏋️♀️🚶♀️💤💦💦💦. Let’s see how I feel as my day progresses - supposed to rest while fasting but my energy is bouncing off the charts! Get to be with DGS today too - he has a soccer game😎.
I don’t know EXACTLY how I feel about R274…. What are my takes?
1. ⚖️ fluctuates considerably based on routine.
2. Will lose muscle mass from this fast 🤔….
3. Solid ✅with new JGMTD ⏱️goals (sprints/plyo!!!) 5 of 10 days.
4. 🏋️♀️6/10!
10/13 ⚖️128.0 (fasting) 59hrs in. ⬇️3.4lbs 💦💦💦 🚶♀️4k. 💤6.5hrs.
Early yesterday I had a great deal of energy. By 10AM I was zonked then zonked the entire day. Felt my energy just disappear - whoosh! Laid low. Walked around town a little but that was it. 💦💦💦& electrolytes. Did not nap yesterday although I tried. My last 72hr fast I only felt hungry for a couple of hrs around the 48hr mark… Not this time. Yesterday, I was hungry all day & eve… hungry now. Don’t know the difference but this fast has been much more challenging. (At least from my recollection).
My body feels clean. No headache. Feels like I’m floating. Let’s see what happens today. I’m planning steak & eggs to break fast at 6PM.
10/14 128.6
✅🚶♀️9k 💤6 hrs 💦 P:E 1.1:1; Pg 106
I broke my fast yesterday at 2PM (68 hours…) Gave a tennis lesson to DGS, which consisted of only feeding balls at the net… When I got home, I was pretty weak & laid down…. Simply could not recover from the weakness, so I said to myself “What’s four hours”? Hubby is still away on his bike trip & I thought “let me take care of myself and make sure I don’t faint.” Ate half a ribeye. Totally restored my energy! Protein drink & greek yogurt @ 6PM. Beautiful walk in the evening.
Don’t know why fasting full 72hrs was successful twice before & not this time but I’m proud of 68hrs adhering to my body/limits. I don’t feel like I failed. I listened & took care of myself! 💪🏻
What did I learn? I learned that I have self-discipline and can move my thought patterns of doubt to positive self-determination. I can switch gears. I can conquer temptation. Most hunger pangs simply disappear …. Of course, until you feel faint 😎. When you know you know…
💤 Didn’t sleep well again. Trusting after I get moving this morn I’ll feel stronger. I feel clean & hoping to feel even better as the morning progresses. Also trusting my body absorbed all benefits from the fast.
I want to 🚶♀️⏱️🏋️♀️ today. Will check my energy levels. Onward!
10/15 128.8
✅🚶♀️12k 💤8 hrs 💦 🚫🏋️♀️⏱️
P:E 1.2:1; Pg 118
Movement: chose to only walk today. Still building energy.
Ate @11AM. Poached eggs and sliced avocado. Delicious!Around 4pm: Ground beef w/ chopped onion topped w/diced tomato, cilantro and sliced avocado for dinner. Another win.
6PM One protein shake. Oikos Pro high protein yogurt with a tablespoon of sugar-free dark chocolate pieces. Yum!
Repeat same today. Hoping to keep ⚖️ in 130lb range and continue 🏋️♀️🚶♀️⏱️.

Slept soundly but only 5 hrs. Darn! My days are decisively better when I get at least 💤7hrs
⚖️This gradual ⬆️expected as I re-fuel. My systems haven’t quite caught up yet😎! I’m hoping to level off @ 130lbs while 🏋️♀️⏱️🚶♀️. Hubby will be home tonight! Today- 🎾🏋️♀️🚶♀️💦💦💦 & cleaning up the mess I’ve made around the house.

10/15- 171.4
10/16- 171.8 Still playing hungry hungry hippos. Today I’m going to try a bit more resistance or at least shovel better food into my pie hole.
I started strong yesterday. I was really craving pizza. I swung by the pizza place and ordered one slice to go. Felt pretty good about it.
After my workout I ate an entire frozen pizza for dinner.
You win some, you lose some. Pizza won that round.
Let’s not talk about the roughly 800 calories of Hersey kisses I ate pre workout.
Yesterday I ate crap but it’s not the end of the world. I’m wondering if the scale is going to catch up to an over 3000 calorie day or if I just get a mild scolding this time.
NSV- I drank a bit more water yesterday. Who ever said the temperature change might be to blame for so many of us not drinking enough water- I think you are spot on!!!!

10/16 158.2 Well, I can’t say I’m back in a routine yet, but I did buy a little joy over the weekend. Picked up a new puppy on Sunday. He’s right at 7 weeks old, so he’s walking in a stroller with me at the moment, but eventually, he’ll be a good walking/hiking buddy. As for my “get my MFP life back together,” my goal today is to log everything (even though, I feel like my food intake has been fine even during all this other stuff going on in my life.) In the long run, I’m more successful if I log every single day. Also, I hope to resume daily posts. Fingers crossed. But in the meantime, meet River! I think it was a piece of my recovery that I named him River. I’ve always loved being on the river in the NC mountains,(and will again) and I don’t want that flood to forever ruin those feelings for me. I’ve also always thought the next dog I had would be named River. So, in spite of the devastation caused by the rise of the Linville River, I named him River in honor of all those wonderful feelings and the peace the river usually brings me. Is that crazy or what? Yea, probably so. But here we are! Lol

Round 275
Oct 13 - 22, 2024
GOAL FOR ROUND 274 – NOT GIVE BACK MY LOSS FROM ROUND 273
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
10/13 – 133.8 yesterday was not perfect, but the results of the previous two days wore off
10/14 – 134.2 attended get together at friend’s house yesterday, then came home and ate a WHOLE bag of chocolate covered pretzels. Anyhow, today start a challenging stretch for me. DH will be out of town for 10 days. In the past, I don’t cook and just eat ice cream and other junk while he is gone. My goal for myself it to actually eat meals while he is gone. Preferably, home cooked and trackable meals.
10/15 – 134.2 I actually ate somewhat like a normal person yesterday. But I finished my day with microwaved popcorn and I think there may be some sodium at play this morning. (Oops, Happy Anniversary to me and DH - I totally forgot until I saw today's posting date. :P )
10/16 – 133.2 This number I think is real. My highs after a binge are not real, and sadly, my super lows are likely not real as well. Not losing at a super fast pace, but given my current approach, that makes sense. Fortunately, there is no real deadline, even though I had hoped for 130 for my 63rd b-day, and that is coming too soon (next round).

Thanks @deepwoodslady @quiltingjaine @itladyee I appreciate the anniversary well wishes. It is certainly easier to eat on track when your partner is 1600 miles away.
this is a speed post as I have a medical procedure this morning and need to get out the door. But it is super nice to see the new faces joining the group, and the return of members as well (periodically that is me :P)
Wishing well for the upcoming surgeries. @SheilaBoneham @judefit1
@utmom81 your new pup. Hoping you have many happy years together!6 -
Thank you everyone for the good wishes on my surgery today! By tomorrow morning when I post, it will be in the rearview mirror and I'll be on my way to recovery!
@SheilaBoneham : good luck to you too!
@UTMom81: that is one adorable puppy and I think River's the perfect name!4
