Just Give Me 10 Days Round 310

It was a perfect storm of mistakes. No ill intent by anyone. Just so very lucky my son programmed my mother's phone for auto-answering and I heard her calling out. So I reached out to the team, only to find out that none of them came. Mom is OK. No damage done, and a good education for all of us.

Blend the first five ingredients. Put in small Pyrex dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon crackers then layer the sliced strawberries. Cool for at least 2 hrs. Sprinkle more cinnamon crackers on topโฆ I substituted Oikos high-protein yogurt so my protein increased and I substituted 3 tablespoons cottage cheese for 3 of the 8 tablespoons of the whipped cream cheeseโฆ.. (lowered calories). So SOOOOO good!
This recipe is from โshredhappensโ - on Facebook and Instagram. All of his recipes are delicious and easy!!!
the recipe says that quantity is for 4 but I think it could serve six!

๐ท 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 310 (my 240th).
Goals for every round;
- First and foremost, no feeding frenzies โ 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
- to have a totally 10-day binge free round.
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.
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, itโs 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 135. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.
Updated 20.08.24 โ I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info ๐. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available. This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 67 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.
I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".
9/27 142.6 โ (trend 142.6) No structured walking; visited National Trust property - Coughton Court before it passes back into control of the family. Pleased with the round once we returned from holiday, just a pound to lose before Iโm back to pre-holiday weight.

10/3 142.4 โ (trend 142.5) 6.14 miles walked. Had a lovely romantic afternoon with DH, he surprised me by turning up at the end of my volunteering shift with a picnic to have in the extensive gardens, who says romance is dead after 47 years of marriage? Did mean I was over on calories, but a small price to pay.
10/4 142.4 โ (trend 142.5) just short of 5 miles walked before the rain came. Will the remnants of storm Amy allow me to get out walking today?
10/5 142.4 โ (trend 142.4) Seems that my body/scales like this number! 10.3 miles walked yesterday. Seems that I missed a day somewhere? Sorted now.

The downside is itโs easy for me to just eat a pint of ice cream for dinner. Or a whole ball of burrata and a half a loaf of bread over a day. Iโm very lazy about food when itโs just me.
The plan is to cook some chicken breasts today and have them shredded and ready for salads over the next few days. Keep it simple.
I feel a bit guilty since DH did not want to go on this work trip but Iโm looking forward to a few days home alone to get some projects done with no interruptions. Iโm sure Iโll start missing him in a few days!

Up at 3:00 this morning after a return from a fantastic whirlwind tour from Prague, Nuremberg, Vienna, Budapest and London. Part of that was a river cruise with three square meals a day. I ate every meal like it was my last but burned a trillion calories. Thus, a surprisingly low gain on the scale.I have a lot of work to do to meet goals.
I will find a picture or two to share.

Unexplainable. It would have been better with some exercise. Yesterday there was a lot of reading and a lot of cub game on TV. !W!We had a bunch of turnips from our CSA, so DW made a Scalloped Turnips recipe that was fantastic. As yummy as the potato version.
A question for our community: I bought some whey protein powder before saddling myself with a โno-Ultra-processed foodsโ goal. The pictures nutrition panel and ingredients look ultra processed. Thoughts? (I just looked, it is not โBobby Approved.โ

10/4 โ 129.0ย Man, it is a struggle fest to get my focus back. Not tracking. Not checking in here. But I am stepping on the scale (as it creeps up). Yesterday was another fiasco with my motherโs private aids. Not intentional, but no one came to care for her yesterday, and the facility, because they know about the private aids, did not check on her. She had been left in bed since the previous night (thankfully wearing a depends) with no food, water, or other care. I discovered the issue when I called to say โhiโ at 3:30. DS has programmed her phone to auto pick up as she is not capable of answering by herself. I can hear her in a distance calling โhelp me help meโ. Anyhow, thatโs the short version. I did not sleep well last night thinking about all this. See how the day goes.
10/5 โ 128.2 Actually did well yesterday. Good food choices and properly tracked.

Got the first real good workout in yesterday in awhile. Felt strong and energetic for once. Now to not overdo it! Tracked as well. Yay me!
@quiltingjaine really love the quotes you have in your intro - needed to hear them this morning. I am not perfect but I keep trying. Choosing to be thankful that this whole year have at least not gained! I will keep showing up.

10/04-186.0 โ (Trend Weight: 184.2) I had a pretty bad glucose drop yesterday. This can be common with a diabetic but it hasnโt happened to me in a bit. Of course, I shoveled all food in sight quickly in for as long as it took to get my head above water and no longer be drowning. The instinct is Never To Sink. Afterward there is always the sadness and regret but itโs too late. I had not waited too long to eat and my prior meal was enough and was good so I donโt always understand. Only 3 more reporting days to the challenge and goal is to be less than I started. I donโt know that I can meet or exceed that goal. It depends on how much of this is water retention, I suppose. However, I can still at least make a good dent in that goal if all goes well and I stick to my guns.
๐๐๐๐๐ 10/05-186.0 โ๏ธ (Trend Weight: 184.4) A pretty good day yesterday. 3 hours of raking leaves but this time I made sure I had a small carby and calorie dense meal/snack before beginning so that it would keep up with the exertion. It didnโt allow me to take advantage of the calorie burn but it did keep me from another glucose drop and feeding frenzy. Anyhoo, fridge was fixed. It had ice build up in the fan due to the back panel being loose. No $$$ for parts and free labor from son so I finally got a $$$ break. Have a great Sunday everyone!

My favorite brunch! The โNo Bagel neededโ brunch. 386 calories, 41 Pg, 23 Fg & 4 carbs: one egg/3 egg white scramble, 2oz wild smoked salmon, 1.5 oz avocado, 3 T whipped 2% Good Culture cottage cheese (used to fake cream cheese) & two slices uncured โSunday Baconโ & black coffee. Oh so darn delicious! (On a salad plate!) I guess you can say thatโs one of my new habits. I never eat on a full dinner plate anymoreโฆ I only use salad plates.

๐ท 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 310 (my 240th).
Goals for every round;
- First and foremost, no feeding frenzies โ 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
- to have a totally 10-day binge free round.
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.
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, itโs 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 135. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.
Updated 20.08.24 โ I met up with youngest DB, first time after his DP passed away at the way too early age of 46. DB lives a long way from us, we see him very infrequently & is very introvert, so not a sharer of info ๐. However, he finally opened up to me, it seems that his DPs bad health leading to heart failure followed by kidney, liver failure & then a massive stroke, was originally caused by heavy drinking. By the time he realised he was abusing his body and went teetotal, the damage was too late to reverse. He was on the list for a heart transplant, but his other organs gave up before one became available. This has made me think about how I am abusing my body when I have binges with way too much sugar, fat & salt. I know I am a food addict. I'm going to try to think about this when I am tempted to overindulge, I need to start respecting my body more and think about whether I want to be in the best health I can be. My body has served me so well for 67 years, it deserves to be given the best chance to keep serving me well & I've been really lucky that life has not dealt me a raw health deal, so I must not jeopardize that luck.
I am the driver in my life & not the passenger, I need to drive my life to a healthy life."Health is wealth".
9/27 142.6 โ (trend 142.6) No structured walking; visited National Trust property - Coughton Court before it passes back into control of the family. Pleased with the round once we returned from holiday, just a pound to lose before Iโm back to pre-holiday weight.

10/3 142.4 โ (trend 142.5) 6.14 miles walked. Had a lovely romantic afternoon with DH, he surprised me by turning up at the end of my volunteering shift with a picnic to have in the extensive gardens, who says romance is dead after 47 years of marriage? Did mean I was over on calories, but a small price to pay.
10/4 142.4 โ (trend 142.5) just short of 5 miles walked before the rain came. Will the remnants of storm Amy allow me to get out walking today?
10/5 142.4 โ (trend 142.4) Seems that my body/scales like this number! 10.3 miles walked yesterday. Seems that I missed a day somewhere? Sorted now.
