Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 38

cschmitz110515 · April 2018

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.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/18 306.6 (-0.8) (Found myself wishing for a day in between rounds so I could eat "fun" foods. But then realized it's my choice to work on losing weight -- just like it was my choice to eat all those "fun" foods that helped me gain weight.)

Day/Weight/Comment

4/19: 213.4
I've been gone for awhile, but I am back! Been in Virginia for almost a month; my son was in the hospital for 21 days, so that meant that I, too, was in the hospital 21 days! After he came home, I stayed with him a couple of days just to make sure he wasn't going right back! I give God all of the praise for seeing him through; his spleen ruptured, and he almost bled to death! I went a little haywire while I was there, and the scale tells the story! But, that's history; today is a new day, and I'm ready to start over again! HIS MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING!

4/20: 212.2
Good afternoon everyone! Hope you are having a great day! It's beautiful here in Middle Georgia, and I thank God for another beautiful day! See you lighter!

Thank you, Jackie!

4/19 - due to surgery my face was very swollen. Three hours of sleep again last night. Made minestrone soup today. Finally the weather is suppose to get better and I can start to go for walks. Still super hungry.

4/20 new challenge, I went to the dentist yesterday, he did not see anything wrong. I went back today and my last tooth which is root canal is infected I could hardly drink water. Maybe the steroids caused it. brain surgery and infected tooth. going to get tough to beat this.

4/21- goal for the week, is to cut out salt and sugar and see if this helps for swelling. Going to have a strong week

4/22- still lots of swelling my whole face and neck. But I ate good today lots of fruits and vegetables, chicken.

So I've done 4 rounds so far, and I'm pretty much back where I started! Time to get serious with working out, which I admit I have been neglecting. Still hoping to get back to 117lbs, despite my lack of progress

4/20 - 122.2 finally some movement down, but I'm not celebrating until it sticks around for a while

wow what?!?!? I was not expecting that! Down 1.3lbs in one day - ahead of schedule but I will take it
Eating on days like today can be super tricky - out of bed at 3am, starting work at 5am - so I'm home and have had dinner by 4:30pm which gives me the rest of the night to get hungry. I need to remember to not eat too much as early as I did today and learn to save some calories on days like these.

4/22 290.3

I knew last night would be tough, and it was - I ended up eating a mini-bag of popcorn (100 cals) and slice of multigrain bread with pb and jam. So in ended up over my calories for the day booooo. Good start to today with egg whites on multigrain bread, a banana, and a cup of coffee. I'm going to do some meal prep this afternoon - mostly involving cleaning and cutting up fruit and veggies, cooking some chicken and boiling some eggs - adding some good proteins to my work lunches should help with being too hungry for dinner - my lunches last week were mostly fruit and veg so I ended up super hungry by the time dinner rolled around.

4/18 — 250.2 Alright, staring out with a gain, but that's what happens when I spend my day off being super lazy! Gotta get up and move. Not sweating it because, man, I slept so well! Anyone else notice how poor sleep just wrecks your resolve?
4/19 — 247.4 Back down I go! We will see how my day off tomorrow treats me.
4/20 — Way too hungover to remember to step on the scale. Oops!
4/21 — 249.4 I deserve that after my over indulgence yesterday!

Round 38 GW - 215lb

Day/Weight/Comment
18/04 - 217lb - The sun has put me in such a good mood, and I managed to hold myself back and only had 1 gin & slimline tonic in the garden, woo!

19/04 – 214lb - I think a fluke but I'm taking it! Going to take a walk in the sunshine on my lunch break and then head to the gym this afternoon.

20/04 – 215.5lb – bit disappointed after yesterdays weigh in, but still only 0.5lb from my end of round target!

21/04 - 213.5lb - a very up/down week so far, but the number is a lot lower than the start of the challenge so I can take a couple of small gains on the way!

22/04 - 213lb - still in the right direction!! Expecting a gain tomorrow after the weekend but will not let it deter me!

23/04 – 214.5lb – Expected that gain after the weekend but onwards and upwards from here! Determined to get myself back in the gym regularly this week!

R38 goals - to stay focused, log everything, drink my water and stay on track - aiming for a 136lb or below finish....

4/18 -136.60 down 1.0lb. guessing my usual post weekend "whoosh". My aim for this round is to keep it here or below and stay focused....... Happy with the start though

4/19 - 137.30 up 0.70lb - TOM imminent and bloated - not helped by late evening munchies last night (fairly healthy munchies of houmous and breadsticks - but was late last night) . Still down on the round start so far though

4/20 - 136.90 down 0.40lb - up down up down ..... TOM due and its now the weekend ........ I am feeling positive at the moment

Must keep up the water (hot here at the moment for the UK in April anyway!) but I did discover 50 calories mini soleros at my local M&S Today - it was lovely!

4/21 - 136.6 down 0.3 yay!! Good day planned today food wise and a 20mile or so bike ride too so here's hoping....

4/22 - 136.60 - holding ....
4/23 - 138.60 - up as usual on a Monday but happily my "lowest" Monday high for a long while which I'm happy about esp at TOM imminent. Nothing I know of this week that should see me being led off track so should be a good finish Friday..... giving blood tonight so hoping that will mean I weigh less tomorrow

if only ....

4/20: 108.9kg/240.0lbs – Not feeling good today, had to cut this morning’s run very short as my stomach turned – shame really but I’ll try again on Sunday. Buzzing with this drop though – out for food and beers tonight so this will change.. (Also updated my HW as it was incorrect)
4/21: 109.1kg/240.5lbs – Feeling bloated, but the weather was lovely. Dragged myself on an 18km in the sunshine, time wasn’t great and I think I need to start looking at some energy gels to keep me going.
4/22: 108.1kg/238.3lbs – Expected a drop after such a long run, rest day today even had a couple of beers.
4/23: 108.4kg/239.0lbs – Monday, back to work and back to my meal preps. Lunch for the week consisting of: Lemon & Herb chicken, sticky rice, broccoli & sweetcorn. Gym tonight too. Good news also, my BMI has gone from Obese to overweight - WOOO.

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.

Hi, I know I’m late to the weigh-in, but I’m can’t wait for another round. I’m hoping to drop some water weight quickly to get some motivation.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
round 33 - start=215lbs end 202lbs
round 34 - start = 202 end 192.8lbs stomach empty and bone dry
round 35 - start = 192 end 196lbs
round 36 – 195lbs no change.
Round 37 194lbs start and finish but did see 192 for a couple days
4/18 – 196lbs – allowed myself a free for all day to end the free for all week. The next 10 days I plan on shifting from maintenance to weight loss program. Should drop 2-3 in the first days then a couple more by the end of 10 day challenge. 190lbs on or before 4/27 is my goal
4/19 – 195lbs – still predicting a quick drop if I don’t have adult beverages. Eat before logging and WOW does prime rib have a lot of calories. Homemade and worth every bite. Managed to ride bike for 30 minutes
4/20 – 194lbs – good thing lunch was on target. Eat 5 hotdogs at a gathering last night and had 1 to many cocktails! It’s a fishing weekend so I probably will not eat right the next 2 days
4/21 – 192lbs – eat kinda okay yesterday but didn’t plan on 2 pound change.
4/22 – 192lbs – not bad for a weekend. Hope the fish are biting this afternoon. had the last salmon in the freezer a week or so ago.
4/23 – 193lbs - to much sunshine out fishing lake Michigan, fell asleep in my chair till 6pm. Instead of cooking the fresh coho salmon I took the wife to chines buffet. Still full this morning. Salmon tonight!

Date - Weight - Update
4/18 W - 185.8 - As yesterday was a WHOOSH day for me, this is a decently reasonable bounce back, and still lower than where I was on Monday... anticipating this week to be more difficult than last. Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals.
4/19 Th - 184.8 - Maybe it wasn't a WHOOSH at all and I was just retaining water? Or this is another deceptive drop? The most likely scenario is regular fluctuations, but where's the fun in blaming that?; Exercised in the morning - about 600 cals, tomorrow will be a rest day and may end up being a maintenance day if I can't keep my calories in check.
4/20 F - 185.0 - Ate a bit too much after dinner. Still within calories, but it was pure carbs. The 0.2 lb increase is clearly water weight; rest day today but should still get plenty of steps in. Lots of stuff to do.
4/21 S - 183.8 - Ah yes, more fluctuations. Just what I wanted. Been oddly dehydrated lately, despite drinking over a gallon per day, going to try to up my intake just to be careful; Exercised in the morning - about 500 cals.
4/22 Su - 183.8 - A standstill is good over a weekend. Means I didn't go too hard on Saturday, which has been my problem in the past. Another rest day today, went for a walk, but no intense exercise.
4/23 M - 185.2 - Consumed a decent amount of carbs/sodium Sunday night, so I guess this makes sense, regardless of how little I like it. Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals.

SW 235 lbs
GW 170 lbs

4/18 - 240.75 lbs - pretty good first day, ran/walked/shuffled four miles home from work. Ate the last of the Easter egg for dessert

4/19 - 236.75 - I'm guessing that 4 pound loss is all water - I got such a bad headache after my run last night. must drink more water!

4/20 - 236.25 - Lovely day this morning so I biked to work for the first time in a month. Going to try to bike 3x per week over the spring and summer!

4/21 - 236.5 - bit of a lazy stay at home day today. Went over calories by about 300 calories after afternoon tea at a friend's house, but these things happen!

4/22 - 235.5 - lovely sunny day here, went for a walk along the beach and got a small ice-cream cone. Definitely eat better on the week days! Still have dinner to go and want to do a short run tonight. Hope everyone is having a great weekend

4/23 - 235.35 - got super lazy and hungry after my run last night, so we got a takeway kebab (chicken shish so not totally the devil) and chips. Still managed to eat under my calories though whoop whoop

Running home from work tonight.

SW: 212.6
GW: 210
UGW: 155

4/18 - 212.6 - Felt a little bloated, adjusting lunch time shake down to 1 scoop
4/19 - 212.2 - Feeling positive and slightly less bloated. Walked the Dog around Pearl Hill about 1 mile. Being more mindful about getting up every hour at work.
4/20 - 210.2 - Bloat is gone, scale shows the water weight lost. Adjusted my lunchtime meal yesterday since I wasn't hungry after my sandwich wrap and skipped the shake. I think the shake makes me bloated in the afternoon. Dinner has not been planned just being more mindful of portion sizes. Did 25 minute yoga/meditation last night. Goal is to actually check in this weekend while I'm not on my work schedule. Accountability!
4/21 - 210.0 - had pizza and salad for dinner last night, it fit into my macros for the most part. Slightly over, but the day was good whole food eating all day. 80/20 rule! Weighed in a little earlier than usual. Good breakfast shake this morning and took meds. Pot roast snack after a walk and errands instead of a big huge breakfast sandwich. Weekend water intake always struggles but making a good effort. Going Adams farm and grocery shop today or tomorrow. Doing an experiment today to see if I can make good choices on the fly!
4/22 - 210.2 "experiment" went well considering. Ate mostly proteins all day and ended up having ice cream for dinner cause our eating schedule was all weird after a long day, first weekend back working. Water struggles for sure and I woke up so dehydrated. Duck eggs and sausage for breakfast and off the the store for a few things. Water water water today. Went to Adams Saturday and Grocery store Sunday - prepped and ready for the week.
4/23 - 211.0 - Ice cream got the better of me last night - which I didnt have room for in my macros since I had quesadillas for dinner. But it was a great day of quality food, friends, sunshine and laughter. We did a nice long walk around bowers for Fala. Stopped at Kalon for bacon ended up with steak instead. Grilled steak and potato with green beans for lunch, used leftovers for steak quesadilla for dinner. Minimal snacking, improved my water intake - learned that "light ice cream" is just a tease and I'd be better satisfied to eat the one serving size of regular instead of a whole pint of "light" - Expected the slight gain between over on macros and sodium - but I keep reminding myself that the weekends will take far more dedication than the weekdays, and I will figure out what works and what does not as I continue.

4/21 213.6 Still doing good. No mindless snacking…that’s what would always sabotage any weight loss for me. That, and eating way too much at mealtimes. Paying attention to how much I’m actually eating makes a big difference. Also, making healthier choices of what I eat. Have a good weekend, all!
4/22 212.6
4/23 211.8 I’m surprised my weight is down again today. I figured it was time for it to hold steady for a few days before beginning that downward trend again. Nevertheless….I’ll take it. Just finished a cup of tea and some plain Greek yogurt for breakfast. Does anyone else notice that when you miss breakfast for whatever reason, you’re not as hungry during the day then on days that you eat breakfast? Yesterday I had a cup of tea in AM, but didn’t have time to eat before I had to leave. Wasn’t hungry until early afternoon. But when I do eat something for breakfast, I’m usually thinking about lunch by 11 AM and find it more difficult not to want to eat a whole lot more throughout the day. I wonder why that is?
