Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 296

67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 296 (my 226th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine.
Goals for every round;
First and foremost, no feeding frenzies – I am not a shark or even a piranha!
to weigh less at the end of the round than the start
be happy because I feel that I have made the round count at the end
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.
Spoiler WarningI am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth",5/10 140 – well that’s a surprise!! I did get on the scales twice to confirm! But I am pleased. That’s a loss of 1.8 pounds, but I look back at photos of a few years ago & I do need to get back down to mid 135’s. On a side note, I still haven’t got my ‘phone back it seems that the police have lost it too, there is no record of where it is or who made the ‘phone call, I’m beginning to think it was an impostor trying to get my address, or am I being little too suspicious? Still awaiting the sim for my new ‘phone. See you all in the new round.
EW Rnd 295 141.4
SW Rnd 296 140.4
5/11 140.4 – 11.11 miles walked. New SIM arrived, able to sort out all the things I couldn’t without it !!
5/12 140.4 - 7.61 miles walked. Siblings lunch out & I chose lowest calorie on menu.
5/13 141 – 6.76 miles walked yesterday.
5/14 141 - 7.94 miles walked.
5/15 140.6 – (trend 140.4) 7 miles walked.

@quiltingjaine - A banana a day (potassium) helps keep my cramp in check.

@Chapter_3 : I know you have a "tough love" situation in your family, but don't know the details. All I can say is, never give up- and never give in. It's a challenging balance to find, with a lot of self-doubt along the way. But you can do it, I have no doubt. You're tough, resilient, and most of all loving.
Also- try not to take his/her choices and behaviors personally- I think that may be the hardest lesson of all.

5/15 130.8 Day got thrown off of plans from a few kinks & meetings lasting too long. Tired after - with some rumination, but not off the charts. Good protein high carb🚫🏋️♂️⏱️Ate later than usual last night. Today will be a great day with determination and a healthy mindset! 🏋️♂️⏱️!
5/14 130.2 nutrition 💪🏻. ⚖️ ??? large drop perhaps because I did not eat after 4:30? I would love for it to stick but I doubt it will. I usually ignore inexplicable upticks, so I’ll ignore an inexplicable downtick. My body systems fluctuate dramatically, remembering it’s not only CICO but what and when. Macros matter. Clean matters. I’ve been “clean“ for a good stretch now and that could be a factor. Will focus on:🏋️♂️⏱️today. #HSF
5/13 131.2 Seems my weight is stabilizing because of whole food (WOE). Good nutrition and movement but no plyo. Up too early but weighed anyway. Slept solid 8:30P to 2:30A. Up now and contemplating life.
I got the inspection date wrong. It wasn’t last week. The inspection is taking place today at the property. I’m not jazzing about that… The appeal process here in the city is lingering and our last appeal is set for Monday 5/19. Our handful of concerned citizens met yesterday - we learned of continued attempts at backdoor deals b/w the city /hospital - disgusted. Playing 🎾 this morning (first time in three weeks and second time in two months) -then taking a rest and revisiting previous appeals to prepare for Monday. NSV: I am consciously aware that I am entering the “rumination zone” and will pay attention today to make sure I keep my health first. Will take a series of 20 min 🙆♀️🚶♀️ & 🏋️♂️ breaks throughout the afternoon to diffuse and reset.
5/12 131.8 Spent much time contemplating this journey. Staggered my routine into little “snacks” throughout the day. It was a pretty “heavy” day - remembering fondly, with so much admiration my dear mom … Got to see DS, DDIL and DGS & sister. Worked in the yard with DH and had a wonderful early, healthy dinner. Was a 10/10.
5/11 131.4 Is this THE day I put on the FULL mindset to reach my BHAG? I’ve been coasting / drifting with a somewhat lackadaisical on/off attitude since February. Will take a minimum of 3 rounds for for the ⚖️ but with CONSTANT effort for 🙆♀️🏋️♂️⏱️🚶♀️💓💪🏻. Consistent🏋️♂️⏱️takes a different mentality and will spend time preparing for it today. Strength training is a mindset that I haven’t adopted- YET. My nutrition is good, but my REAL goal is to be stronger / fitter (#HSF) every year to live a healthy, vibrant & active life. I’ve stalled since February. What does it REALLY take?! Yes, structure / planning /researching is best for me… yes, I’m “skinny fat”… I looked back through my journal and it’s been a battle. Way too many starts and stops.

5/11 133.0 Happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate. I believe I may be down 0.5 (so 132.5) after coffee and TMI. YAY! My Garmin watch is dead again! New batteries more than every 2 months isn’t very user friendly. 12/27-2/22, 3/17-5/10
5/12 133.0 Nothing fancy yesterday. My choice was EL Pollo Loco and we had a coupon for $4 off a meal for 2. I had leg and thigh, broccoli, and Loco salad with cilantro dressing. I DID eat my churro in the evening with coffee.
5/13 133.0 I will try to be happy hanging here as I know I’m eating LCHF and my body just has to decide I’m serious.
5/14 132.0 Fasted until 3:30 and had a beef patty and asparagus. 100 days until grandson’s wedding in Kona! Cramp in foot during the night and both calves when I got up. Need to remember electrolytes!

Hello MFP friends.
I didn't have a chance to browse any postings last round. This round I'll be more supportive of everyone. I appreciate everyone's dedication to all of our success.
My neighbors and I are still beaten down by hurricane Helene stress. However, there is never a good reason to live unhealthy.
I know that even a fast food menu can be altered for my needs. I've been doing it for over 15 years. A bacon burger no bun has more nutrition than oreos and onion potato chips. Often costs less too.
Now I'm just rambling...
Wishing all of you Rousing SUCCESS for this round.
I'm sure you all did better than I did last round. Success takes dedication which I've lacked recently. I must improve.
Goals:
Get off the excess salt and all sugar so I can drop this water weight
Exercise burn 500 calories daily
Full abs and flexibility daily
Body fat calculation weekly
Yes I Can! Yes I Will!
SW Rnd 296 - 157.8 lbs
5/11 - 158.4
Not off to a great start. I know what's needed. Now how do I get myself "unstuck"?
5/12 - 156.4 lbs
Big sigh, weighing in at my heaviest time of day is hurting my feelings. Nonetheless, it's necessary to remind myself how far off I am from my best weight.
5/13 - 157.4 lbs
The 1lb up is surprising but such is life. Finding my way back on track.
5/14 - 158.4 lbs
Weighed in but forgot to post this yesterday. With this water retention I got a check for error type message because of rapid eight gain. The source of course is I'm back on salt and sugar.
5/15 - 157.4 lbs
Still bloated from poor eating. No way to justify my bad behavior. Introspective needed to understand why I'm self harming by poor eating and exercise.
Regular activity is higher than usual. Every day I'm hard at work as best I'm able. Physical labor is not the same as targeted exercise.
There is a way to balance physical activity. I just need to find it so that I can get the stress relief from exercise and handle these hurricane recovery projects.

Deep breath, what I do is enough. I can only do so much. Prioritize and keep moving.
I have to remind myself to keep myself fueled. The biggest mistake I make is getting too hungry and making poor choices.
My second problem has been weekend sabotage. It’s Friday morning and I am pumping myself up to do my best. This can be my best round if I hold it together this weekend.
Right now, at this very moment I feel like I can do anything. This feeling each morning is what I need to get through it.7 -

5/16 132.0 - an inexplicable gain = to my inexplicable loss earlier this round. No TMI for three days perhaps? Won’t guess & will move on. I had a solid day yesterday… Still haven’t gotten back on the 🏋️♂️ train… could just DO IT but I resist. What is that about? Guessing I lost my #HSF mindset somewhere mid- morning. Lack of quality sleep hurts my efforts. Also, hope to hear about the property inspection sometime today! I hope everyone has a #HSF weekend!
5/15 130.8 Day got thrown off of plans from meetings lasting too long. Tired after - with some rumination, but not off the charts. Good protein high carb🚫🏋️♂️⏱️Ate later than usual last night. Today will be a great day with determination and a healthy mindset! 🏋️♂️⏱️!
5/14 130.2 nutrition 💪🏻. ⚖️ ??? large drop perhaps because I did not eat after 4:30? I would love for it to stick but I doubt it will. I usually ignore inexplicable upticks, so I’ll ignore an inexplicable downtick. My body systems fluctuate dramatically, remembering it’s not only CICO but what and when. Macros matter. Clean matters. I’ve been “clean“ for a good stretch now and that could be a factor. Will focus on:🏋️♂️⏱️today. #HSF
5/13 131.2 Seems my weight is stabilizing because of whole food (WOE). Good nutrition and movement but no plyo. Up too early but weighed anyway. Slept solid 8:30P to 2:30A. Up now and contemplating life.
I got the inspection date wrong. It wasn’t last week. The inspection is taking place today at the property. I’m not jazzing about that… The appeal process here in the city is lingering and our last appeal is set for Monday 5/19. Our handful of concerned citizens met yesterday - we learned of continued attempts at backdoor deals b/w the city /hospital - disgusted. Playing 🎾 this morning (first time in three weeks and second time in two months) -then taking a rest and revisiting previous appeals to prepare for Monday. NSV: I am consciously aware that I am entering the “rumination zone” and will pay attention today to make sure I keep my health first. Will take a series of 20 min 🙆♀️🚶♀️ & 🏋️♂️ breaks throughout the afternoon to diffuse and reset.
5/12 131.8 Spent much time contemplating this journey. Staggered my routine into little “snacks” throughout the day. It was a pretty “heavy” day - remembering fondly, with so much admiration my dear mom … Got to see DS, DDIL and DGS & sister. Worked in the yard with DH and had a wonderful early, healthy dinner. Was a 10/10.
5/11 131.4 Is this THE day I put on the FULL mindset to reach my BHAG? I’ve been coasting / drifting with a somewhat lackadaisical on/off attitude since February. Will take a minimum of 3 rounds for for the ⚖️ but with CONSTANT effort for 🙆♀️🏋️♂️⏱️🚶♀️💓💪🏻. Consistent🏋️♂️⏱️takes a different mentality and will spend time preparing for it today. Strength training is a mindset that I haven’t adopted- YET. My nutrition is good, but my REAL goal is to be stronger / fitter (#HSF) every year to live a healthy, vibrant & active life. I’ve stalled since February. What does it REALLY take?! Yes, structure / planning /researching is best for me… yes, I’m “skinny fat”… I looked back through my journal and it’s been a battle. Way too many starts and stops.

This is my posting format….Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed. (Calories In – day before)/ Comment
5/10/25 : 226.4 SW a day before.
5/11: 225.8 (2120 CI)
Yesterday’s food was terrible. The penalty will show up tomorrow. Spent most of the day fishing on “the Kraken,” noshing on easy processed snacks, then my buddy offered to buy me a Hardee’s lunch from the drive-through on the way home. I declined, but gave in and had some chicken tenders. I didn’t order fries, but they threw some in the bag. Yes, I ate them too. Frozen pizza for supper. DW’s idea and I didn’t argue. The narrative above is exactly my problem.I was expecting a huge bump up this morning, but no. Though I would not call it exercise, there was a lot of functional movement yesterday. Fishing is hard work, but I am willing to do it if I have to. 😊
5/12: 227.2 (!)
And there is the bump. Mother’s Day with all the celebration got the better of my will power too. We had four generations together yesterday.Today we shove off for a few days at DW’s sister and brother-in-law’s house two states away. Today is sister’s first round of chemo for breast cancer. We just want to be there for a bit of support, like pre-making some meals, planting flowers and just being there.
So, I will not be stepping on a scale until Friday but will try to lose or maintain between now and then.
5/13: DNW
5/14: DNW
5/15: DNW5/16: 227.6 (2172 CI)
I guess for all intents and purposes I maintained while out of town. SIL chemo postponed a week due to a glitch in her blood work. It was good to be there to help her and her husband. (He has stage 3 lung cancer treated now with a daily chemo pill.) DW helped plant flowers. I ate three square meals a day and didn’t move much.Good to be back posting again. I did keep up reading you all. Time to find a groove. Four more days to try to get my Ten-day average down. It will be hard because when I have a DNW day, I enter an average between two known days. For example for the 13th, 14th and 15th I entered 227.4 on the spreadsheet.

🏃♀️ 5/11: 🟢 190.3: Happy Mother's Day! Since I am approaching my goal rather quickly, I'll need to remember not to take this sudden loss for granted. It is working because I am continuing the calorie deficit. However, I'll also fit in a very nice dinner. I'm already planning it!

Lost the Mother’s Day poof. Staying consistent. Getting enough activity in is hard but it’s mostly mental. Going to get a good lunch walk in today. Have dinner at a friend’s house, menu is out of my control. Saw 164.8 flicker on the scale and it lit a fire in me
