JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 16

9/10 - 228
9/11 - 227 - Using industrial skid scale at work until I find mine Only when no one is looking of course. Also started my first day of couch to 5k this am - Feeling awesome!
9/12 - 231 - I'm appalled with the scale. I got on twice just to make sure I was not crazy! Huge let down after a great second day of C25K. So frustrated right now.
9/13 - 231 - Whatever.
9/14 - 227 - Feeling relieved to see this - I was seriously nervous this morning. Tomorrow my new running shoes arrive and I'm looking forward to getting out of these numbers for good! Didn't have time for C25K this am so alternated between running 1-3 minutes and walking for 1 for a total of 20 minutes. Not what I wanted but at least I did something! Officially under my starting weight for this round!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10: 203.00- Oh yay, gained everything i lost last week in about 2 days lol!!This is water weight I'm sure. I had a lot of alcohol the past two days, didnt log, ate out dinner the past two days as well. I tried to keep it healthy but I know it was probably packed with Na+ and sugar. Also didnt drink half my normal amount of water. So heres to recovering from all the damage I did!

9/11- 204.5 same trend as last week! I have all my meals planned out for the week. Looking forward to doing better!
9/12- 205 scale is playing games this am lol. I don't believe it.
9/13- 201.6 yay heading back down. This is more like it! Hopefully I stay on this trend. Ive hit 100oz of water the past two days without trying so very happy with that
9/14- didn't weigh today. I pulled a muscle or something in my leg and decided to skip the gym this am. but I plan on staying under calories and meeting water goal again today.

9/10 - Hurricane Irma
9/11 - Hurricane Irma
9/12 - 133 so I am a bit off since Hurricane Irma. Living in So. Fl most of the year, I have been a little preoccupied - cooped up in the house with nothing to do, but cook, eat and watch a hurricane. I finally got to the gym today, but did not log. Hopefully tomorrow I will be back on track and back on goal. We are all fine and if the worst thing that happened to me was gaining a little weight, a few lost screens and trees, I'll take it! On ward and upward (or downward preferably)
9/13 - 132.8 trying to get to the gym today. I feel like it's a struggle right now. But I'll be good.
9/14 - 131.6 got to the gym yesterday and ran 4.5 miles today. Still have not logged. I will start right now.

Goal for this round is to continue to work on increasing my stretching.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10--226.6 This is a normal fluctuation. I know that I did not drink a lot of water yesterday, I find it is difficult on the weekends. However, yesterday I successfully ate at my calorie level, which I find is a challenge on the weekends, and I stretched. Today I'm going out for lunch, so the weight will probably be up tomorrow from the additional sodium.
9/11--227.9 There it is. The additional sodium from lunch yesterday plus a lack of hydration results in the gain. No worries, will just wait for it to go. I did get my stretching in yesterday, so that is a plus.
9/12--227.2 Ugh, forgot to stretch yesterday. Sill working on making it a habit.
9/13--226.4 Stretched yesterday. My NSV yesterday was that I was feeling bored at about 7:30 last night and felt like eating even though I wasn't hungry, so I went for a run instead...I haven't run in over 7 months.
9/14--225.9 Back to where I started. I have really tightened up my food weighing/tracking the last few days and it shows. Stretched yesterday.

Round 16
9/10 - 151.6
Last week I didn't get my usual exercise due to smoke/hazardous air quality from forest fires. My calories averaged 1830 and weight stayed steady, so this round I'm going to keep my calories at that level but get back to my usual walking 60-120 min/day and see what happens. I find these daily check ins inspiring and motivational, so thanks!

9/11 - 151.6
I went about 200 over my calorie goal, so ok. :-)

9/12 - 151.2
Back to walking (90 minutes yesterday) - yay!

9/13 - 151
Getting my daily walks and sticking to my calories goal (~1850). I've also changed my macro goals a bit this time around to 25-30% protein, 30-35% fat (heavy on healthy fats), and 35-40% carbs (mostly non-starchy veggies, fruits, and a teeny bit of whole grain and/or legumes and/or nuts and seeds). Increasing the fat and reducing the carbs slightly makes me less hungry - yay! I do indulge in either a little good chocolate or some licorice - no more that 100 calories, to be eaten slowly and savored! Because all things in moderation, including moderation. :-)

9/14 - 150.8
I had an extra 200 calories yesterday, but all good, healthy ones, and they don't seem to have hurt me so far. It's a gorgeous day here, so I plan to backpack my laptop to Starbucks (30 minutes), work a couple of hours, and backpack home. I've been trying to walk anywhere I need to go within 2 miles (unless I'll have stuff to carry!). I'm a writer and often write in coffee shops, and luckily there are several within 1-2 miles. I just wish my laptop were a bit lighter! But I remind myself that the extra weight = more calories burned. :-)

9/13 choose not to weigh. Had a horrible day yesterday of binge eating. :-/ But I'm on track today. One day at a time.
9/14 181.5 I don't really know why I'm binge eating. My husband is gone for at least 3 days every week and that's usually when I do it. I am so embarrassed and humiliated over my binge eating. You all are the only people who know I do it. My sweet husband knows I've done it in the past but I haven't told him about my recent 'episodes.' I get in these kinda depressed states and then binge, feel HORRIBLE, then do it again!! Besides getting trigger foods out of the house, I'm going to make it more public. I'm just going to keep track of how long I can go without a lapse. Thanks for listening.

My mother and I were just talking about being each other's cheerleaders. Those of us who have been known to "sneak eat" are only hurting ourselves and we know it but it's damned hard to break the pattern. Late night snacking, after hubby goes to bed, is my nemesis. As my mother said on the phone, it's boredom. And, yes, that's part of it. It's also part of feeling a little bit rebellious by eating "what I damned well please" when no one is looking. So, at least we know the problem lies between our ears. We now need to work on that, on what we think about to try to break the eating-as-solace pattern.

I'm finally, after much counseling and the advantage of being old as dirt, getting so that I understand that the only person I am punishing when I overeat is me. I'm the one who's in pain from carrying around too much weight. I'm the one who feels guilty that I'm not living up to my own standards. I've known these things intellectually for a long time but am still working on knowing them in my heart. That's where it all stands.

We, you and I, just need to believe that treating ourselves better is the thing that will make us feel good. Believe you and I deserve to feel good and, as a counsellor once told me, make your behaviors match your beliefs. Do what you need to do to make you feel good! That binge eating you did may have felt good while you were doing it but it's not making you feel good now. Behave in ways that will make you feel good longer term than just while your mouth is full! Treat yourself better than you have been. You deserve it!

Love, love, love this group! I'm really hoping to step up my water intake these 10 days. I really struggled doing that last round. My goal this round is to lose between 1 - 2lbs.

09/10: 175 My Mom is still in the hospital. I've been there with her the last several days. According to the xrays, nothing has changed. Since I've been there, I haven't been getting as many steps in as I have been. I definitely didn't drink much water, and my calorie intake was low.
09/11: 176.6 Well, the whoosh I had last week, I've gained back due to lack of water consumption or hormones. My ovulation cycle is always so hard on me. I think I feel the worst then. Of course, being at the hospital and not moving much isn't great either. However, I managed to get my lesson plans done while I was there.
09/12: 175.8 Well, I managed to drink more water yesterday, and I put in about 7500 steps, which is a lot for me considering the field I work in. I hope I get back to 174.4 (where I ended last round) by the time this round ends at least.
09/13: 175 lbs Mom was moved into a rehab facility last night. She's slightly improved but no significant change. She has no strength at all. She doesn't want to be there, but she can't be alone. She doesn't want to be with us either because it's 30 minutes away from the cancer center. My husband is beside himself. I just pray that I have the strength that he and I both need to carry him through this. Upside: I managed to get 44 oz of water in the last two days. Woot! I've been struggling with just 28. So, I'm proud of that.
09/14: 176.2 I know this is from sodium due to Mexican for dinner, but after the 2 weeks we've had and no family time due to being at the hospital and now rehab, I think we deserved it. It was our first evening together as a family...just the 5 of us.
