Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 37

ClaudiaDawn2 · April 2018

I'm excited for this challenge. I've been hovering at my current weight for 3 months (spent 2 months in Florida for the winter where I maintained). Now I'm ready to get serious again. I also set a goal to exercise daily so I'm hoping to see results soon.

@nanishora what is AF on your goals?

@cyranda63 WELCOME BACK! You were missed!!

@texasfarmer Only use MFP emojis or it cuts off the rest of your post. One hour to edit, click the little gear in the upper right (at least that’s where it is on my phone) Hope this helps!!

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.

Round 36 (previous round)
03/29: 152.5 Wed 3/28 PTO = prep for Easter dinner + spring cleaning. Walked dog 4.08 mi 1:06:34. Fitbit 18,893 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 57 floors. Net calories -15, sodium & sugar green, protein excellent, fiber close & 14c water.
03/30: 154.0 Maundy Thurs 3/29 PTO = more spring cleaning + prep for Easter dinner. Walked dog 3.6 mi 1:00:24. Fitbit 18,893 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 57 floors. Overtired... late afternoon & late evening snacking ~ ack!!! Net calories & sugar red, sodium ok, protein & fiber good, 13c water.
03/31: 153.5 Good Friday 3/30 PTO/holiday = lots of food prep & table setting for Easter dinner. Walked dog 3.82 mi 1:03:07. Fitbit 21,646 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 & 62 floors. Net calories -89, sugar -17, sodium / fiber / protein good & 12c water.
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.
04/01: 154.0 Easter Sunday ~ not logging food or adult beverages / enjoying church & family at our house for dinner ~ have a blessed Easter!
04/02: 156.0 Expected ~ most certainly high sodium, not sure what else. Rest day / no workout. Fitbit 7,521 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 & 16 floors.
04/03: 154.5 PTO day at home / walked dog 4.15 mi 1:08 & happy dog. Fitbit 14,330 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 & 36 floors. Ate Easter leftovers in moderation / net calories green, sodium & sugar red (not bad), fiber & protein low, and 14c water.
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! Also brought dinner leftovers to single co-worker who struggles at times. Made her happy & made my day! Treadmill before work / 3 mi 50:07 / stretched. Fitbit 12,845 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 (work intervened) & 37 floors.

04/08: 156.0 Late lunch was fast food including French fries (which hubby and I rarely eat nowadays), then binged on peanut M&Ms in evening ~ ack!!! Even stopped logging b/c counts were so bad. Walked dog 3.77 mi 1:02:50. Fitbit 13,035 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 (tax preparer meeting / drive time) & 27 floors.

Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy. ~ Saadi (Persian poet)

jerier · April 2018

Lord I sure could use A LOT of motivation. Fell down the rabbit hole in the summer of 2016. No excuses because I have little patience for them. 20 months and 20 lbs later I feel exhausted and disappointed

4/8: 142.6, started today with coffee, 2 slices of Dave’s Killer Bread (thin slice), 42g of avocado (yes, I am a bit OCD), and a medium hard cooked egg (I’ve got chickens so I eat a lot of eggs)
I’ll update at the end of the day.
Cheers!

Hi jerier!
Welcome back! Bravo for jumping back in!

BTW: I weigh everything, often in grams, too & no OCD here. I like knowing what I’m eating so I can more accurately figure out my maintenance levels in the future!

I also prefer recipes with weights for the ingredients - no measuring cups or finicky measuring spoons! Just plop bowl on scale & tare after each ingredient!! (I do this for my salads too!)

Have a great day!
Maddy

Lowest weight: 135.4 pounds March 2018
Current weight: 135.4 pounds
Goal weight: 135-137; less is o.k. this round-anticipating weight gain on vacation
Goal for this Round: not worry about weight gain on vacation for much of Round 36 as I know how to get it off-try to get some physical activity on vacation so weight gain isn't too bad-walking, swimming, kayaking, maybe try a fitness class or two at resort

End of Round Weights R11: 143.4 (7/31/17); R12: 142.5 (8/10/17); R13: 140.4 (8/20/17); R14: 138.6 (8/30/17)

This round will be working back to achieve daily logging, eating at deficit to lose vacation gain, and returning to regular exercise. I have not weighed myself since March 25th and feel as if I have gained 15 pounds. I hope that I will get my courage up to step on the scale tomorrow morning, but if I don't, I will start to log, exercise, and eat at a deficit. Our vacation was amazing, and I knew I would gain this weight. It has been hard getting back to the kind of eating that I need to stay under 140 pounds. I will start full force tomorrow.
