JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 12
Replies
-
Cyranda, this is just so perfect. 10 days. More than a week but not so long as two, or a month, or now-until-Christmas as so many other challenges are. Just the right length of time. And how we dutifully have come to read each other's daily struggles! Such an important sense of community! I'm in for the duration!
Round 8/1: HW 274 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
Round 10/3: HW 269 LW 266.4 MidW = 267.7
Round 11/4: HW 267.4 LW 264.2 MidW = 265.8
My goal this round is to go without Chinese take-out for 10 straight days since it really only is a lazy, I-don't-want-to-cook-tonight response and it represents a day without counting. And to exercise at least twice.
8/1 264.8 -- Starting out this challenge with something approaching the low weight of round 11. Let's go down from here!
8/2 264.2 -- Excellent. Paying attention pays off. CICO rocks!
8/3 264.4 -- Fine. I will not be discouraged by some uppity scale. I will eat TDEE-500 and no more. The weight will go down. The goal is to do limited but satisfying eating. The scale will follow.
8/4 263.2 -- Patience and keeping to calorie limits pays off yet again! Even if I don't see quite this low for the rest of the challenge, this is the first time seeing 263 and I'm a happy camper! Now, if I'm going to exercise twice this challenge I should try to get one in soon. Today?
8/5 264.6 -- some of that is water but some of it is due to falling into an old behavior last night -- the dreaded LATE NIGHT SNACKING. Old habits die hard. I probably undid a couple days of calorie deficits. Sigh. Extra self-discipline required to go back into TDEE-500 today!

R9 SW: 197
R10 SW: 195.2
R11 SW: 195
7/31: 193.2
R12 GW: 190 and to keep my focus on off/weekend days
UGW: 130
8/1: 192.2 which is 10lbs lost since my first round!! It's my off day, so (even before I weighed in) I decided to do a mini fast for the day. No meat, no grain. Just veggies/fruit and liquid. I've been feeling heavy, even though I'm losing weight, so hopefully this will help.
8/2: 191.4 yay my plan worked. I feel better/lighter and the scale backed me up lol but its back to my regular routine at work today. Hoping to sustain this progress although I predict a spike tomorrow.
8/3: 191.2 still doing well. Did 14,000+ steps yesterday, and stayed within 1500 bmr calorie limit.
8/4: 188.2 weighed my self three times, sat down for a half hour and weighed again, because I just couldn't believe what I was reading. It made me think about before I started these 10 day challenges. Even though I hated what I saw, I never doubted that I was 200+ lbs, but I can't wrap my head around the numbers going down sometimes. I need to think about why and ways to adjust my reactions. I should rejoice in my hard work paying off, not feel nervous about the results.
8/5: 190.2 that's alright. I did 12, 739 steps yesterday, but I ate at odd times and really didn't get a chance to hydrate. Also, got home so late and I'm super tired today but I still have a full day of work ahead of me.

7/31 205lbs. Desperately want to get out of the 200's.
8/1 203lbs. Feeling a little better to finally drop a couple. Its been a loooooong time since the number went
down.
8/2 203.6 Ugh.... I don't know what to say.
8/3 203.6
8/4 204.6 So frustrated as usual. I have cut down so much on the garbage I use to eat and NO POP which is silly but I love it. Nothing for a week and up goes the scale.
8/5 202.4 lbs. Getting closer to the 100's. Hoping I can fight through the weekend without backsliding. Wedding showers and family dinners do me a number. Would love love love to see progress over the weekend not the opposite.9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
8/1: 200.8 – recovering from girls weekend nicely
8/2: 199.8 – Staying within by calorie budget, walking. I had 1 mini cupcake yesterday and it was fantastic. With tracking and logging you can have your cake and eat it too! Just not the whole cake.
8/3: 198.8 – so pumped! Yay me!
8/4: 198 – Happy, but feel tired and hungry. And again annoyed that progress is so slow. I know this is the right way to do it. But dang. My goal for tomorrow was 195. I got pretty close. I had a girls weekend in there that set me back a bit, so I’m pretty content with this result. Tomorrow is a wedding and I can’t wait to eat the delicious food and drink the delicious drink. I’ve been attempting to make healthier meals and they just aren’t very satisfying. But I’ll keep figuring it out.
8/5: 197.2 – This makes me happy! I was getting a little tired of it all yesterday. Ate Arby’s for lunch and Red Baron for dinner. Not exactly healthy but I also went for an hour long walk, stayed within my cals. Felt satiated!

8/2--229.0 Still making sure I keep myself hydrated.
8/3--228.1 Had a great weightlifting/workout session yesterday. Not sure if the weight loss will stay for the remainder of this round but it's nice to see a new low weight.
8/4--228.1 Holding steady.
8/5--227.9 My goal for this weekend is to make sure that I keep hydrated. I find on the weekend I tend to forget to drink my water which leads to me thinking that I am hungry, when in fact I am just thirsty.

8/3 189.6
8/4 190 I ate more than usual yesterday but I'm hoping it revved my metabolism a bit and will see loss tomorrow!
8/5 189.2 I guess it worked a little. I would love to see 188. I don't exercise so I need to add that in eventually.

Day / Weight / Comments
8/1 - 195.5 I hot a new low the other day and then I went up and now I am working it back down again. My weight log is full of relatively big up-down-up-down swings so this is part of the pattern. I LIKE the down part of the pattern.
8/2 - 195.8
8/3 - 195.5 Had bad lunch yesterday. Literally. The meal had been buried in the freezer and was not successfully microwaved back to sustenance. I ended up eating a Big Mac and fries and I don't regret a minute of it. Healthy dinner, lots of water, day one week 5 c25k, 200 stairs up, and we stay on track.
8/4 - 195.3 Ate calories + some exercise calories. I'm not a low carber, but I really went overboard on white bread. It was a frustrating day and bread and butter is a comfort food. (DD got in a fender bender.) Got a good walk in; it was a dancing walk as I needed another 30 minutes of dancing for a challenge. Definitely done after dark - do not want to scare small children. Got my third 200 steps count needed for another challenge. Need more sleep.
8/5 - 194.7 My effort seems to be paying off this round. I need to keep it going thru the weekend. Last night C25K W5 D2. Need more vegetables, but not eating badly.

8/1 143.3 Exercised and stayed under calorie goal yesterday. Beach day today. Need to plan ahead for dinner out.
8/2 143.3 2.5 hour walk on beach: stayed under calories if "walking brisk" exercise calories used calculation was accurate for my walk on uneven, soft sand at Crystal Cove State Beach. For anyone in Southern California, this was a fantastic, beautiful walk!
8/3 143.7 Exercised (elliptical) and stayed under calorie goal. Realized I forgot to add a Starbucks drink on 8/1, so really was over calories on 8/1. Ready for this weight to start dropping! It has been TOM, so hopefully in a day or two.
8/4 144 Exercised and stayed under calorie goal. Had to estimate lunch calories when I shared a pad thai entree with a coworker. Did not drink enough water during the day (a problem I have when working).
8/5 143.2 Exercised and stayed under calorie goal.

8/1 174 Went run/walking with my dog this morning. I used to run a lot more but am currently recovering from a bad case of plantar fasciitis. I am doing the couch to 10K app and I am on week 4. Small victories!
8/2 174.8
8/3 174.8 First day of TOM today. I could feel it!
8/4 175.9 Wowza. Pretty sure the number is supposed to go down. Did have a heavy lunch yesterday, a stressful evening, and am retaining water like crazy. Today I am focusing on water, water, water.
8/5 175.9 I dreaded the scale this morning as I did a lot of grazing yesterday and drank wine at night (a couple of glasses). So I am glad it did not creep up again! I really want to see the scale go down in this second half. Went to the Y this morning and ran on the treadmill. Think I will start tracking again on MFP.
