Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 35

tishawj · March 2018

Back again! Hello everyone!! My motto this week is "write it before you bite it" as I haven't been super consistent logging my food lately.

SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - Smashed this in October 2017 and maintained around 143 until the winter blahs and my crazy freelance schedule got the better of me and I put a few back on.
New GW - 140 - really want to work on getting another 5-7 off from where I am now and committing to fitness so I can participate in some adventures with my boys over the summer...no more watching from the sidelines!!

3/18 - 147 - coming in from round 34

3/19 - 147.4 - weekend aftermath...blaming it on the beer. We were super active so I can only hope some of this is also muscle recovery as well.

3/20 - 146.4 - One year ago today....I started tracking my food and weight everyday with the intention of losing 20lbs before a big family vacation and then to keep going to lose a bit more before the summer. I've gone from barely squeezing into size 12 pants and covering my top with flowy XL shirts to not event hesitating to go to the size 8's and smalls and even bought a pair of size 6 jeans last week. I'm participating in sports and activities with my active kids instead of watching from the sidlines!! I'm very proud of myself...it's hasn't all been down...but I didn't let the upswings derail me. Weighing and checking in here everyday has made me very mindful of how my choices affect the scale and what those trends really mean in the long run. I still have some goals to achieve but if this chocolate/craft beer/wine loving mama can do it so can anyone!!

3/21 - 145.6- working it off...
3/22 - 144.6 - Wooot!! Under 145 again!!!

The first half, I'm at home. The second half (and the first half of the next round), I'll be traveling without a scale. I'm going to try to be mindful on vacation, but not obsessive (I'm capable of being VERY OBSESSIVE).

Woman, Age 46, 5'6"
OSW: 252

Round 32: SW 240.6; EW 241.6 (+1.0), Ave 241.92
Round 33: SW 241.6; EW 238.2 (-3.4), Ave 239.84 (-2.08)
Round 34: SW 238.2; EW 237.2 (-1.0), Ave 238.28 (-1.56)
Round 35: SW 237.2; GW 235

Round 35

3/19 / 239 / Oof! On the plus side, no headache when I woke up. On the negative side, I got very little sleep, and what I had was pretty uneasy. My husband was extremely restless and had to leave really early. I think he got about an hour of sleep.

3/20 / 236.2 / Nice.

Sinus headache from hell, which is less nice.

3/21 / 236.6 / It is a truth universally acknowledged that a big loss will be followed by a bounce. Under calories again and got my activity in again. My ring is back to being tight. Bah humbug!

3/22 / 237.6 / Oof! I had tummy issues all day yesterday. Hit my calorie goals and got in my exercise but wasn't happy one bit.

3/23
3/24 / Vacation

I saw what you did there, my fellow Austenite!

Hope it gave you a smile.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 266.2 I have been gone for a few rounds and have really struggled lately. I have been gaining & losing the same three pounds for a couple of months. I think getting back into the 10 day challenge will me get moving in the right direction again.
3/20 264.4 Not surprised at the drop. I feel like I'm carrying a bunch of water wt and bloat. I fully expect to drop 5 lbs during this round which will put me where I should be prior to the last couple of weeks. I'm really focusing on eating lots of veggies and fruits and avoiding processed foods. I also walk 8 to 10,000 steps a day everyday; if I don't the scale really doesn't like me at all. This morning its a veggie omelette, green peppers, mushrooms, onion, maybe a little zucchini if I have some. Reinventing the wheel is hard but sometimes thats what it takes.
3/21 262.9 I figure I have another pound to go then the water wt will be off and it will get tougher to move the needle. Over 10,000 steps yesterday was a plus. I plan to eat light again today and should have another day or two of wt coming off.
3/22 263.9 wow was not expecting this, but just a minor set back. Onward!

3/19: 137.9; weighed 135.7 on March 15 but allowed a few days of stress and binging to throw me off track. (23,583 steps)
3/20: 137.2; binged again, so I expect a weight jump tomorrow (25,167 steps)
3/21: 138.1; I expected this, but it is still discouraging. No binging today and thus, only 11 calories over goal. (25,777 steps)
3/22: 136.0; slightly under calorie limit today. I am hoping for another drop tomorrow; fingers crossed. (25,334 steps)

Posting in the morning. I plan to do a hike today, but also to go to a cocktail tasting party so today might not be ideal from a diet perspective. I drink so rarely, I can't handle much alcohol but the party just sounds fun.
03/20: 152.0
Thought I'd be up today. I only had one cocktai yesterday, but I sat right next to the chips and dip and ate a lot.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19: 223lbs. I decided to cut my calories this round to see if my weight starts trending in the right direction. Today was a good day overall. I kept my calories below 1800. Walked 10000 steps and worked out for 30 minutes.

3/20: 222lbs. I’m glad to see the scale finally drop a pound. I ate about 2200 calories today, but I walked 11000 steps and had a 35 minutes weight lifting session.

3/21: 221.5lbs. 2200 calories, which is still more calories than I originally planned for this challenge. 12000 steps and a 40 minute workout.

3/22: 222lbs.

SW: 90kg | GW: 57-59kg

R34 EW: 62.6kg
R35 GW: 61kg 61.6kg

3/19 - 63.7kg (+1.1kg) - I actually just laughed when this number flashed up on the scale. I ate everything in sight yesterday including a high-sodium, creamy pasta late last night. I also drank very little water. Should see this drop back down in the next few days. Still keeping my goal at 61kg for this round as I spent a lot of last round in the 61s.
3/20 - 63.2 (-0.5kg) - I got surprised with a piece of cake last night (and I don't do well saying no to surprise food!) but was still under calories. Still annoyed at myself for the weekend though. Grrrrr.
3/21 - 62.5kg (-0.7kg) - Getting better. I would like to be back down to my pre-weekend weight of 61.6kg before this weekend comes around. Had a nice walk yesterday, kept under my calories. I'm presenting curator talks all day today so probably won't have much energy for any exercise after work today. Brought my trainers just in case I do.
3/22 - 62.2kg (-0.3kg) - Still heavier than my lowest weight from last round. Weekend fast approaching, TOM due next round. I feel like my target date of 29th April to reach my ultimate goal weight is becoming unachievable. After 29th April I've got 3 weeks of exhibition install at work and I find it very difficult to stay on calories during installs and usually see my weight bump back up a few kilos. Feeling a bit demoralised.

3/23 - 62.0kg (-0.2kg) - I refuse to have a repeat of last weekend when I ate everything in sight. That is the old me. This is the new me. Pre-logged my food for Fri/Sat/Sun with a little room to enjoy a cheese plate and a few wines with my best friend who I rarely get to see.

Overall loss (start of round) – 18.5kg/40.7lbs

3/19: 114.4kg/252.2lbs - Overall a small loss for me last round, but I'm excited to push on and hopefully shake a few more lbs. This is week 3/32 for my marathon training, so I'll be going for a run after the gym tonight, enjoying it all so far and hopefully it will all contribute to my weight loss journey!
3/20: 113.5kg/250.2lbs – Now, this happened last round and then it shot back up the following day. I’m still eating well and exercising hard and I’m excited to push on and drop some more this round. Thanks for the support as always
3/21: 112.8kg/248.7lbs – How on earth?! I must have been holding on to some water weight here! Today is my rest day and calves are feeling very tight – will probably get them on the foam roller tonight. Food is going extremely well, I would even go as far as saying I have created some habits which are enabling me to do so well. Also… I’m now under 250lbs!! WOOOO. Time to push on and keep this down.
3/22: 113.5kg/250.2lbs – Eurrrgh why did I think yesterday was correct. Feeling a bit low today, need to harvest some energy from somewhere.
3/23: 131.1kg/249.3lbs – Step in the right direction, now to build on this! Gym today after work and running 10km tomorrow morning!
