Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 37

puddlegoober · April 2018

This is Round 10 for me. I had a rough end of Round 9, but there are things to look forward to. I'm officially going to start a keto WOE on Monday, 4/16, and I'm going to work on cutting down my carbs significantly before then (to get myself in the mood).

Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me.
MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145
Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14

My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

3/31 Walked in Badger State Brewing 10K / goal <1:35 / weather forecast rain/snow mix ~ yippee ~ We got everything the weatherman predicted: snowed like crazy at start, then rained, then VERY windy. Race had 160 no-shows. I tried not to think of how squishy my shoes & socks became, and didn't feel cold until the finish, when I realized my gloves & outer clothes were soaking wet. Very happy with my time of 1:30:28.82 ~ that's average pace of 14:35 ~ walking! Fitbit 23,142 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 39 floors.

04/04: 155.0 PTO day at home / too much Easter candy. Spring snowstorm & shoveled 4" wet, heavy snow for 1hr ~ that was a real workout! Fitbit 10,812 steps, 250+ steps 7/14 & 47 floors.
04/05: 155.5 Not surprised ~ ate Easter candy and *ahem* retaining some waste. Net calories, sugar & sodium red, fiber & protein both little low & 14c water. Snow/ice on roads so back to treadmill before work / 3 mi 48:05. Fitbit 15,285 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 50 floors.
04/06: 155.5 Net calories & sugar red, sodium green, protein & fiber little low & 15c water. On the bright side, Easter candy is almost gone. Treadmill (started late) before work 2 mi 32:58. Fitbit 13,700 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 40 floors.
04/07: 154.5 Finally, net calories & sugar green (not by much) but sodium RED, fiber & protein low, 14c water. Brought leftover lemon bars to work & they disappeared!

Less than 196lbs by end of April

Daily food goal is 2000 calories

Day - Weight - Comment
4/8 - 95.1kg - 209.6lbs - Had a family party to attend and it was a big occasion, lots of beer, food and there was no way I was able to keep track of it, it happens oh well! Probably find the food weight drops off in a couple of days! Had an output of 3095 calories mainly due to me working on the Saturday walking up and down the floors doing some upgrades, used the stairs instead of the lift! End of this round I will be happy with 204lbs... hopefully. (Weigh time 7:00am)

Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.

Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.

According to Big Fat Myths: When You Lose Weight, Where Does the Fat Go? which is an interesting perspective on "diet" 148oz / 9.25 lbs of food/water/oxygen a day but depending on how efficient everything processes we don't operate on a perfect 24 hour cycle to use all that so you get those fluctuations. I think that is semi comforting to keep in mind we are not robots and CICO doesn't operate at perfect 24 hour scale either.

Goal for this round. Honestly, I just don’t know. I still won’t have a kitchen that is functional for another 2-3 weeks. I’m hoping I can shave off a little, but with eating out so much, I should be happy to maintain. But I’m NOT happy to just maintain because I'm only 5-6 pounds from a "Normal" BMI, so let’s try for a small loss. 154.x
