Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 314

CamandJarvis · November 12

~~11/10~~ - 173.2

~~11/11~~ - 172.3

~~11/12~~ - 171.5 - This is really nice to see, especially since we ended up going to Fam's for dinner for Veteran's Day. I had planned for my prepped dinner so my macros and calories were off. I also indulged in a mixed drink BF had made despite not typically drinking any alcohol during the week. Well, Veteran's Day happens once a year, I might as well enjoy it. On that note, my water goal did not get hit. I'm back on track today. Hoping that I can stick to this longer term.

Day/Weight/Comment

ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND 185.0

11/07-183.6 ✅ (Trend Weight – 184.0)

11/08-182.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.8)

11/09 – 180.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 183.5)

11/10-181.0 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.2)

11/11-183.4 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.2) Well, this is a shock! I did have a pretty severe glucose drop last night. Instead of grabbing for candy from my DGS’s partial loot he left here, I opted for a bowl of Campbell’s Vegetable soup with some Ritz crackers. I normally eat 2 meals per day (plus snack at night) so the soup was a 3rd meal for me. It put me over on carbs (which was what I was looking for) but probably over on calories too. If I stuck the bowl on the scale it would not have even weighed the 2 ½ lbs that showed up on the scale this morning so obviously this is sodium induced fluid retention. Especially since an earlier meal had been a bit high in sodium. I’m looking forward to seeing it drop back off in the next day or two. I also have not slept well the past couple of day. 4 hours or less per night. My fitbit daily readiness was 25 (out of 100) yesterday and only 15 today. Even on good days my sleep is never restful as I get up so much. It’s also a diabetic thing and I despise it. Anyway, sending a great big thank you to all the veteran’s who have served our country and protected our peace.

🦃🦃🦃🦃 11/12-182.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.1) My food plan was good yesterday and no sugar drops. I had switched my lighter meal to night and my heavier meal midday and that did not work for me. I switched them back. Yes, it means I lay down for bed & tv with more calories unprocessed, but it helps (so far) with the glucose. I got kicked off my exercise bike last night after 22 minutes by my son, but that’s okay because he definitely needs to lose weight more than me. While he did his spinning I made our 9:30 pm dinner then read 3 chapters of my book club book (meeting is Monday). I’m a little behind on the reading. I also got some house cleaning in which got me up off my retired derriere. I mainly worked on the 2nd floor so there were lots of extra stairs yesterday. The 2nd floor mainly belongs to my DGS and he will be back tomorrow to nice smelling freshly washed sheets and blankets and all his crumbs vacuumed up. He will be turning 8 on November 29th s so he is still at an age where he appreciates everything. Those teenage years aren’t here yet!

Back once again! Life threw me a couple of curve balls a in round 310 when I tried to jump back in, so fingers crossed all curve balls are behind me now (for the near future at least)!

38 year old female, 5'2", Australia. Just a couple of kilos to lose then back to maintenance.

SW - 90kg / 198.5lb - 2013

GW - 57-59kg / 125-130lb - Reached 2018 and again in November 2024 after having 2 kids

RSW - 62.8kg / 138.4lb

RGW - 62kg / 136.6lb

Round focus habits

Drink water 💦
No alcohol Monday-Thursday 🍺
Home prepped meals 👨‍🍳
Planned snacking 📃

11/10 - 62.8kg / 138.4lb - 💦🍺👨‍🍳 - drank my water, moved my body, avoided alcohol, prepped my food. A sneaky little unplanned snack tipped my calories over in the end, but it was balanced and not bingey so I'm still chalking the day up as a win!

11/11 - 62.5kg / 137.7lb - 💦🍺👨‍🍳📃- nailed all the goals today. Enjoying the motivation that comes with getting back on the horse, knowing this too shall pass but taking the losses while they come!

11/12 - 61.95kg / 136.5lb - 💦🍺👨‍🍳 - Added in an extra yougurt and fruit snack in the evening because I was huuuuungry. Big drop on the scale though! Just getting back to sensible eating so it make sense that the numbers are changing pretty quickly. Glad to have made goal for the round. Now to stay steady over the next 4 days. I am with my little kids at home Thursday-Sunday and I find it much harder to keep on top of snacking/stess eating/drinking alcohol. Being in charge of 2 toddlers will do that to you I guess haha. Any tips and tricks for managing these (the snacking/stress eatng, not the toddlers haha) would be welcome!

11/12 - 61.5kg / 135.5lb - Happy to see this number, but historically I get really stuck right here (it's like 61.5kg on repeat for weeks) so I'll be happy to pass right on by…

@pezhed we sound like kindred spirits. Nothing better than letting them loose in someone else's yard (or even your own!) and kicking back with a beer. Love your "it's a treat for them, not for me" approach, maybe I can extend it to "it's a snack for them, not for me" as well….

@Zaxa2021 We can be in it together. 4 year old and 2.5 year old here and "What? Why??!!!" seems to be our way of life some days. As a SAHM, you must be an absolute saint! I don't know how you do it every day!

🎷 67 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 314 (my 244th).

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
to have a totally 10-day binge free round.
Would like to lose a pound 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, 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 135. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

Updated 20.08.24 – 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 😞. 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".

11/6 140.8 (trend 141.3) – 8.34 miles walked. A 0.2 pound increase this round, onto the next!

EW Rnd 313 140.8

SW Rnd 314 140.2

11/7 140.2 (trend 141.1) 8.44 miles walked.

11/8 DNW - away for the weekend in the caravan. 7.45 miles walked yesterday.

11/9 DNW - 11.45 miles walked along the canal to Kinver, took in a Christmas Craft Fayre & walked back. A lovely autumnal day for a walk.

11/10 139.6 (trend 140.7) loving this number, going to really try hard not to sabotage it THIS time! Managed to get in a 5 mile walk yesterday morning before we travelled home. Just noticed - what on earth happened to my post yesterday? Put it right in this one!! Have a good Monday & week folks.

11/11 139.6 (trend 140.6) 9 miles walked yesterday.

11/12 139.2 (trend 140.4) 7.87 miles walked.

11/13 139.2 (trend 140.2) less than 4 miles walked yesterday and all around the shops; the rain was in for the day so we took the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping.

Just Give Me 10 Days – Round 314
Nov 7 - 16, 2025

64 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 up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress loss of 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6

GW Maintaining between 124 – 126

SW: 131.6

11/7 – 130.2 Did not expect a down as I did not track well yesterday. Did do the 6.5 mile walk, my first walk in months. Definitely feeling some pain, but that happens with jumping in fast.

11/8 – 131.0 Tracking not happening, but I again got in a walk, 4.5 miles. If I can re-establish exercise this round, that would be wonderful.

11/9 – DNW

11/10 – DNW

11/11 – 131.4 I dreamt that I got up to 138. I think that is a clue that I need to get back together. The one thing I am doing well is I am walking almost every day. Today, at little over 5.5 miles before posting here. Yesterday 5 miles, and the day before I walked with hubby so 1.75. Today will be a day of no eating out, or entertaining, or eating leftovers. I should be able to do ONE well tracked day.

11/12 – 130.2 Choices were better yesterday, though not entered into my tracker. The negative to all the walking I am suddenly doing, I am in pain 24/7. Sad because that did not used to be the case, and it just tells me the fitness I have lost and need to get back.

11/13 – 130.6 No walking yesterday. Food choices decent, but not tracked.

@deepwoodslady I do eat bread, but it is more of the artisanal variety, where the ingredients label is short and doesn't look like it was typed by a monkey. I do call hamburger buns and hotdog buns UPF.

Yesterday went the way it should. Yoga and floor exercise to start the day. Then, a long road trip with DW for a Dr. appointment which included lunch out. The food was so good and ample. I logged it all along the way and restricted my supper at home by pre-logging it and adjusting to stay within goals. If only…

11/8: 221.2

Another day of meeting goals.
Today we travel 4 hours to see DD. Come home tomorrow. We always eat “well” when we are together. Should do some hiking as well. Weather breaking bad on Sunday.

A day of running errands and eating somewhat sensibly. I did my floor exercises.

I am not a veteran, but I TRULY appreciate all of them. Happy Veterans Day!

11/12: 221.6

Slowly undoing the weekend away at DD house.

Heavy on our minds this week is the birthday party / anniversary party we are throwing for my parents. Not a lot of work, but still a bit stressful. They both turn 90 before the end of the year and they will celebrate their 70th anniversary in January. The highlight of the party will be when my parents play “twister!” (JUST KIDDING!!) We are holding the party at Dad’s nursing home. Looking forward to seeing some people I haven’t seen for a while.

11/13: 222.0

A diet coke disqualified me from the UPF goal. It was mindless. I didn’t even realize it at the time.

Get my step count to 6k daily.

My format for posting
Day/weight/steps/active minutes

11/07 - 191.8/5,289/125 - I didn't expect a drop this morning with all the chips and chocolate that I ate last night. I did get the shed reorganized and ready for winter and, found my Christmas decorations for the front lawn.

11/08 - 192.6/4,640/4 - I got the uptick I expected yesterday this morning. Hopefully tomorrow I will be back down. I get to go out and shovel this morning so that the front walk doesn’t get icy. I enjoyed watching the snow all day yesterday. Today I will be going out first to shovel then for a walk around the bock in the cold fresh air.

11/09 - 192.4/4,347/6 - was hoping for a bit more of a drop but life is what it is sometimes. I'm going out for lunch today with an old friend that I never seem to get together with. Looking at my goal to eat with purpose, I have not been doing that much lately. I need to think before I chew.

11/10 - 193.0/4,214/22 - yeeks!! not sure what happened!! Okay maybe I do know what happened. I am an emotional eater, Yesterday my dd was supposed to come home for a few days and I was really looking forward to seeing her. By lunch time I hadn’t heard from her so I knew that she wasn't coming, at 2 I finally heard from her and she said she couldn’t come up, the excuse didn’t sound right so I know it was really the boyfriend who didn’t want her to leave. I finished off the Halloween candy plus had caramel popcorn and sprite while watching a movie. Today is a new day and I am going to move forward from this. I have got to learn a new way of dealing with my emotions. I am getting better in that I'm down to only 1 day instead of a week but still.

11/11 - 192.6/3,840/5 - glad to see the slight loss, hoping to keep it that way. Today is Remembrance Day, I am going to take some time today to remember those that fought for our country.

11/12 - 192.6/7,277/27 - no change in weight but I did blow my step goal away. I took the time to walk to the grocery store instead of getting in my car. Today I am going to look for ways I can increase my steps.

11/13 - 192.4/2,985/4 - weight seems to be steady. My step count was not good at all. Just didn't feel good yesterday. Started with a headache early in the day. I ended up in bed by 7pm. Way too early but I needed it. Thankfully today is a new day and another chance to course correct.

Zaxa2021 · November 13

@pezhed and @evivahealth thanks for the camaraderie. My little guys are disabled (genetic disorder). We guess they have the mentality of around 2 year olds. They seem to be in a phase that's a weird combination of a 2 year old and a 4 year old. Plus they have speech and physical problems (walking), which just makes everything more complicated. Life is chaos right now. Kids are hard.

good morning, late starting this challenge but woke up inspired and eager to get back on track. So hello everyone. I’m 67 🤪and lost 40 lbs during Covid and became vegan as well and also gave up alcohol, so I guess I could say Covid provided gave me a kickstart to look after my health. I’ve kept the weight off, up and down a few either way. I’d love to lose the last 20 lbs I never did.

11/7-136

11/8-136-Played Pickel ball and rode the horse (short nap required) would have made it down a pound, but baked a chicken for dinner and had some of that while fresh. Horse and yard work today, some quilting added to that.

11/9-135-Worked in the garage yesterday and will finish it today. Someone was talking about trying to organize one area of their house/life and see 20 other things that need attention. I find it hard to keep up with all of my quilting projects, yard projects while every room in the house needs attention. Meanwhile, I need to get our house/yard ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I absolutely have got to make lists just to survive.

11/10-135-Glad to stay here after a big tablespoon of peanut butter yesterday when I wanted a snack. Made a big list of what needs to get done, and a list of four things that I will work on for 15 minutes daily. Hopefully I can get caught up doing it like that.

11/12-135

JGMTD Rnd 314 #84

F 67, 5’6”, married, retired. Embracing a “growing younger” positive mindset - to be fully present to enjoy each day of this #HSF (healthy, strong, fit) journey. I fully commit to a daily renewal of #MindBodySoul. HW 172lbs in 2010. Optimum weight of 127 to 129lbs in 2015. Roller Coaster 🎢 ride with max of 145lbs every three years since 2015.

Round#314 is my JGMTD 84th round. I joined JGMTD in Aug 2023 @ 145lbs & reached my confident weight of 128lbs in Dec 2023.

I am a #foodaholic. I am on a lifetime health journey. Why? I want to keep up with my DH & fully enjoy activities with my grandchildren for as long as breathe!

R318: I’m ready for an uninterrupted round of progress, persistence, consistency & focus. AND LETS WORK IN SOME FUN! BHAG 128-130lbs. I was “there” for several months at this time last year and several months the year before. I shall do it again & remain. #HSF #MindBodySoul

I pursue a clean, whole food, WOE tracking macros and calories. 🏆 I pursue aging younger through an assortment of activities: 🎾 , strength-training 🏋️‍♀️, structured weighted -vest, walk🚶‍♀️, 8-10k steps/day👣, mobility, flexibility, movement🤸🏼 & plyo⏱️#MindBodySoul 📖 I’ve named my journey, “Healthy, Strong, Fit” (#HSF)

11/7 Ready to start this round! I remember R300 was one of my most successful rounds because I dedicated it to all the JGMTD long-term participants. I honestly want to dedicate this to @skyleen75 because she has been such an inspiration … And of course, I seem to do much better when I put someone else before me. 😜 LETS GO!
oh, and I laughed so hard last night with my friends - I’m on my way to chalking up some good fun. ✅ I’m adding this checkmark ✅ to track laughter and joy to my day because I need to make sure each day is filled to the brim!

11/8 I am not any less committed this morning than I was at 6:15 PM last night. I had a perfect day until meeting family for dinner to celebrate my sister‘s birthday… Perfect nutrition (🏆) 🏋️‍♂️👣📖. I was planned and prepared… Until, one alcoholic beverage (oh just one), and a “small” taste of the best pasta my mouth has tasted in years… Oh what FAKE delight! That was it! It was over from that singular moment. At least I stuck to only one alcoholic beverage, but I ate the entire plate of pasta then, THEN…. enjoyed a very small piece of cheesecake. I’m not upset this morning… I’m even more committed as it proves that my self-discipline can disappear at any moment. POOF! GONE! I will consciously avoid any temptation for the remainder of #318 & #319. I know that moderation is key, but I’ve been on this journey long enough to know that I’ve been giving too much lip service and choosing to not buckle down and staying firm to my ultimate BHAG (decision). It starts with getting a grip on my thought patterns. ONWARD!

11/9 Stayed on nutrition plan… and, will be active today. Focusing on attitude adjustments.

11/10. Calories on target, macros off. Increase hydration today! Still not quite myself but journaling and challenging my thought patterns. Glad it’s Monday!

11/11 Zero fun yesterday. Slept most of the day and almost 10 hours last night so I guess I’m fighting something. Hydrated well. Tracked & ate @ maintenance . Not the best choices but limited portions. I do have a much more positive attitude after an unplanned “rest” day. Today? Im hopeful. We are experiencing that 🥶 spell so I doubt I’ll get much outdoor activity. Give me 🥵 HEAT over 🥶! And, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 sincerest gratitude to our veterans!

11/12 Discipline & attitude slowly returning. Step count is down tho. Today - 🏆🤸🏼🎾🚶‍♀️💗👣✅ I reconfirmed my nutrition plan is spot on! Just need to continually set myself up for success & follow-thru. Keep the momentum flowing. #HSF #MindBodySoul

11/13 I had planned to go on an extended WV walk yesterday, but decided to visit with friends (✅) after tennis match. Nutrition🏆, attitude, mindset flowing well. Still struggling a wee-bit with time change….?! Today is planned. Note to self: The night out with my sister last Friday proved one evening can derail an entire round (for me) per the “scale”. My body (like many) super quick to gain (retain) & slow as molasses to remove. My “processes” are unique. Can be discouraging but it’s how God made me! Self-hug!!!! No whooshes for me - EVER! I’m super glad to know this. Knowledge helps. Years of tracking and data are valued. Know thyself! 😍 #HSF #MindBodySoul

PS ⚠️ (serious post)

Philippians 4:11 - “for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content”.

Our dear friend with ALS passed away yesterday. She had an aggressive diagnosis that took her life in under two years. Two years of torture. Never complained. Never lost her sense of humor. She demonstrated pure grace & courage - a shining example of faith & fortitude. I have never witnessed a truer example of this scripture. A reminder to me to NEVER sweat the minutiae or even the big stuff!
I’m mentioning here because I don’t want to complain or vent … especially about the food I choose to eat or the amount of sleep or not living up to my own personal decisions /expectations or being let down or having a pity party over things that are 100% out of my control. I love being a part of this challenge but I find myself often a “Debbie Downer” over SMALL stuff. Isn’t negativity pointless? Every moment is an opportunity to learn … another habit to develop and welcome within my repertoire in my journey of health to become my best self. Its all connected. #MindBodySoul

@Chapter_3 I am so very sorry for the loss of your friend. Sounds like she was very strong to endure that and keep a positive attitude. Thanks for sharing her outlook and your reflections on it as I think it's an important reminder for us all ❤️

Trend Weight starting back 10/7 was 199.7; end of last round — R313, 198.4

Date, Trend Weight, Comments

11/07 — 198.1
Apparently a lot of us have “getorganizeditis,” judging by @Skyleen75 and @_JeffreyD_ and @majork29 and no doubt more people I’ve missed. Is it the weather? 🤣 I too often get distracted from the real task by “necessary” pre-tasks. This is actually a common topic among writers and other creative people—can’t start until the towels are refolded and stacked by color and the spice cabinet is alphabetized. But—and I was going to report this before I read this thread!—yesterday I did a thing. I had two bins of “skinny clothes” in my closet—clothes that fit me when I was 50 pounds smaller. And of course they taunted me every time I opened the doors. So I went through them one by one and decided there was nothing there that held much interest anymore. They’re boxed and in the car for delivery to a resale shop—today, before I change my mind. Someone may as well wear them before they go too much farther out of fashion. Today I’m getting winter duds out of storage and packing up summer clothes to store, and I’m going to go through those, too, before I pack them away. I have way too many “I can wear it in the garden” clothes that I should rip into rags! Anyway, this is the sort of job that I hate to start, but am happy to have done, and I always feel lighter afterward. I need to do this with my yarn stash, and give a few I’ll never use to someone who will. What does that have to do with losing weight? Quite a lot, I think, for me. I seem to resist junk food and snacks better when my space is tidied up.

11/08 — 197.7
Finally! I’ve eaten responsibly the past few days, and it’s nice to see a little progress.

11/09 — 198
Shoot. Sometimes I wonder about the trend calculations, and this time I think yesterday was likely a fluke. Whatever, I’m trending downward. We got our first snow last night, looks like about 2 inches. Pretty, but I’m not ready! It won’t stick long, though. We did our last garden cleanup yesterday, so good timing. Today I’m going to make veggie soup and knit.

11/10 — 198
Today is my weekly brunch and knit day with a friend. I have my brunch order planned out!

11/11 — 197.6
Woot! Nice drop this morning. Yay!

11/12 — 197.6

11/13 — 197.4
Slowly, but downward without doing anything extreme or feeling deprived. I feel much healthier about it emotionally than I did before I took that long break.

I’m Amanda, 5’2” 40F in Appalachian Virginia.

Non-scale goals (tracked for prior day for remaining days of this round):

🏃🏻‍♀️ Intentional movement 8/10 days

🚫 No alcohol 5/10 days

📝 Track 5/10 days

SW Rnd 314 - 128.6

RGW - 127.6

11/7 - 128.0 🏃🏻‍♀️📝 I’ve been trying to get (and stay) at 127.x since at least R312. This is it! I am not having a wild weekend this weekend and I am GOING 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻 STAY 👏🏻 ON 👏🏻 TRACK, darn it. Today I’m going to lift weights and do chores for the morning. I have a quick meeting with my boss to get my login credentials for my new work laptop. Still feeling mixed about this choice but here we go.

11/8 - 129.2 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Well I did most of the things that should lead to success yesterday except for one: I ate too much sensible food. I had zero sugary snacks or drinks, but I did have a high calories smoothie. I made sausage and apple stuffed butternut squash for dinner but found out one too late that one serving is 980 inches calories 😳 Also I was likely dehydrated from Thursday’s beer yesterday morning. We’re going out with another couple and booking a babysitter tonight so I don’t have great expectations for the next couple of days. I think the damage should be way less than Halloweekend was, though. Onward!

11/9 - 128.4 🏃🏻‍♀️ Well I thought we were going to go easier on the drinks last night because our friend had an early flight this morning. Unfortunately he decided he didn’t care about that and we ended up staying out late and going overboard. Thankfully another friend texted this morning and asked me to go mountain biking so I shook off the hangover and got a good workout in! We were going to go to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Bills game today but thankfully decided not to. That will help me be on track today and get some chores done before I start my job tomorrow.

11/10 - 130.4 🏃🏻‍♀️Whoops. Late posting today but wanted to be consistent!

11/11 - 130.0 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝 Had a super compliant day yesterday and was proud of many of my choices. I was hungry after dinner so I opted for a cottage cheese snack instead of the cookie or ice cream I was considering. Squeezed in my strength workout despite it being my first day at this job. So naturally, I expected an amazing loss on the scale today LOL. Weird, weight loss doesn't happen from ONE DAY of compliance. Planning to keep it up! I have book club tonight so will need to be hyperaware! (Side note - just read Heart the Lover by Lily King. I read it in 2 days it was so good!)

11/12 - 130.2 🏃🏻‍♀️📝 Book club didn't go great last night, ended up 1000 calories over. People brought such good snacks! Next month I think I won't eat dinner and will just plan on book club snacks being dinner, especially since our book this month is a memoir by a chef and it will be in the midst of the holidays. I did a Peloton ride yesterday. Today I think my workout will just be walking the dogs since the weather warmed up and I can take them on a longer one. I have to take a strength test to finish up a strength program I did on Peloton but I think I'll wait until I have a better night of sleep under my belt and do that one tomorrow.

11/13 - 130.6 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫📝Three days in a row of tracking has to be a recent record, and the data explains why my weight is doing what it is. I had 405 calories in candy yesterday. 405!!! I'm only allotted 1,220 per day for weight loss. The day before, I consumed 1,000 calories at book club. That was after dinner.

On the strength side, I just completed my strength test for the Peloton strength program I completed. It was just doing front-loaded dumbbell squats for a minute and then push-ups for a minute (I did modified for the 1st and the final test) and counting reps. Between weeks 1 and 4 of the program, I saw 18% increase in my squats and 35% increase in my push-ups! I'm blown away. So while the scale may not show that I've been successful lately, my strength is. Woohoo!

Dear JGM10 Friends, I have had a few weird months and I’m having a tough time getting back on the JGM10D path. I’m not giving up and I don’t plan to disappear entirely. I’m more easily distracted than I was previously. My health is good, DH is good. -Jaine

11/7  133.5  Going to a neighbors for coffee Taking a loaf of bread I baked last night. Baking more today.
11/8  133.5 Great Greek yesterday - I ate about 1/3 of my side salad and 2 cubes of grilled chicken. Baked a beautiful loaf of sourdough (if I do say so myself.) Had a tiny “heel.”
11/9  133.5 yesterday we went to Jessie Ray’s. I had a little bit of beef brisket and hot link. Today we’re having Thanksgiving dinner with our part-time neighbors. I’m taking dinner rolls and green beans. I know there will be turkey and ham, stuffing, cranberries, and mashed potatoes. I was at least a quart low on water - it sounds like I’m a car
11/10 135.5 I’m okay with this. We ate later than we usually do and I know it will soon depart. I didn’t eat potatoes and there was no stuffing. No desserts!!! I did have 2 glasses of red wine.

Jane 50+ 5'5

Starting Weight 173.3 lbs.

End Round 311: 168.9

End Round 312: 166.0

End Round 313: 163.1

Goal Weight: 136 lbs.

11/7: 162.2 I'm mentally so ready to be in the 159.x range, now let's see if my body will cooperate!

11/8: 162.0 Went out for Mexican food last night, so really happy to see a drop! Was mindful of my choices and quantities, just had a couple chips with queso, a skinny margarita, and then portioned off a much smaller serving of steak fajitas, rice, and beans without the tortillas. I probably can get 3 more serving of the fajitas as leftovers! Happy to have safely navigated one of my favorite places without resorting back to old habits of overindulging!

11/9: 161.8 Beyond exhausted. Today is my only "real" off day of the week and I loaded it with a planned brunch with friends and then to race home to clean my house before my daughter's music lesson in the afternoon. Woke up and canceled both! Then DoorDashed Starbucks as a reward and am still very happily in bed. My Starbucks order fits into my allotted breakfast calories, so no derailment there. I'm staying in PJs all day and will eventually clean my house (but on a relaxed timeline - not in a rush) and will make family dinner tonight but definitely sending my husband on the grocery run. I have a big day at work tomorrow and this relaxing reset is needed.

11/10: DNW Up way too early before my normal weigh in time, so skipped it but tracked and was in a deficit.

11/11: 161.0 How are we halfway through this round, time is flying!! Today is a difficult calorie day to navigate, out with friends this evening, will just try to do the best I can, but it's a wine and cheese tasting, so making smart choices isn't an option, so will just have to focus on portion control.

11/12 DNW Was up and out the door much to early, so did not weigh in. Had a great time at the wine & cheese event, they only give super small tastes of the cheeses, which helped with not overindulging food wise, but definitely overindulged a little on the wine.

11/13: 160.2 So close to my 1st weight goal! Making test cakes today comparing 2 recipes for friend for next week, will only have a bite to see which is best, what tweaks are needed. I love to bake but I don't really care about eating sweets, so there won't really be any temptation to go overboard in the taste tasting.
