Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 39

Original SW: 190 (12/29/2016)
Round 36 SW: 183
Round 37 SW: 179.8
Round 38 SW: 179.0
Round 39 SW: 178.2
Round 39 GW: 176--my wedding weight!
Ultimate GW: 145ish

4/28:--178.8 I'm going the wrong way. The last few days I have been soooo hungry and going way over my calorie goals for the day. I don't know if its just because I just got through TOM, or I'm not getting enough protein, or what--but I need to figure it out and get back on track.
4/29:--178.8 Did a good amount of exercise yesterday and only ate back about 2/3 of the calories. Hopefully that will start to make up for my over-eating last week. Going to do some yard work today.
4/30:--178.0 Headed back in the right direction. Stayed active this weekend and ate at a deficit both days. Weekends are easier for me.
5/01:--178.0 Glad it stayed; I overate yesterday by quite a bit, and today I feel bloated and tired. Yuck.
5/02:--178.8 Stuck in this range but I feel better today. It's amazing how much my diet contributes to my mood.

R39 Start 309.8 Goal 305.0


Day/Weight/Comment

4/28 309.8 (-0.0) (No loss today but no gain. Beautiful weekend in store for us so lots of outside time)

4/29 309.8 (-0.0) (So I think my body is planning to lose all 4.8 pounds of my goal on the 10th day -- seems logical, right?)

4/30 309.6 (-0.2) (Ah ha, movement on the scale. A whopping 0.2 down but proof the scale isn't stuck on 309.8)

5/1 309.8 (0.0)

5/2 308.4 (-1.4) (Ok, let's get the train rolling. Five more days to get to my goal. Doable -- yes)

SW: 62.6 kg/138 lbs
GW this 10 days: 61.9 kg/ 136.5 lbs
to lose in 10 days: 0.7 kg/ -1.5 lbs
Ultimate goal: 58.5 kg/ 129 lbs


Round 39:
4/28 - not started yet
4/29 138 lbs | Ran a relaxed 5k today. Rest of the day: Mostly couchpotato. food okay-ish today, not much snacking.
4/30: 137.3 lbs | Nice drop, but I was feeling quite bloated before. Oh well, it scared me enough on the scale to get me restarting this MFP-journey. Stayed within calories yesterday! Eating at a restaurant tomorrow, so I'll try to bank some today.
5/01: 136.1 lbs | Drop is still going on! But banking calories did not work yesterday, and tonight I’m having a 3-course dinner at a restaurant. So I’ll probably notice it on the scale tomorrow, Hope to get a run in then!
5/02: 136.1 lbs | No backlash from the restaurant yesterday, although I was maybe almost a 1000 cal in the red… The rest of the day has been really *kitten* so far, I hardly slept and I’m worrying a lot. This got me really stressed and tired at work. I really feel like I need snacking.. Hope to get a run in tonight..

4/28 164.8 (Yesterday was good. Temptation was strong, but I came in just under calories anyway, and did manage to get some workout in.)

4/29 165.4 (Not bad considering the previous day. It This day was a definite"cheat" type of day. All morning & afternoon I was at a conference, and all evening I was out to dinner with friends. I tried to make sure I stayed moving during the conference breaks, and I made sure to cut my dinner portions in half - yay leftovers! - but I know it was definitely cheaty.)

4/30 164.6 (Back on track, more or less. )

5/1 163.8 (Hubby was night-snacking last night and I managed to scrounge up some willpower and not join in. Seeing a jump down is a nice reward for that.)

5/2 163.6 (Ate out last night, but planned ahead for it and adjusted other meals/added activity accordingly.)

I'm back and looking forward to this round. After two months of disruption with moving, house hunting, eating out too much, loosening up my usual healthy food choices, not walking my usual 1-2 hours/day, and a generally high stress level, I'm finally getting back to my usual routine. We should be moving into our house 3 weeks from yesterday, and in the meantime I'm just trying to eat well and mindfully and within bounds and exercise when I can. Of course, I also hope to (finally) start losing regularly.

Goals:
Weight ~~ UGW - 130; looking for indefinite downward trend each round; hope for 148 this round.
Food ~~ 1548 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 30-45%

Weight 2/2015 - 218
Lost 68#, regained 12 (to 156) on metabolism reset 11/16-6/17. R37 end weight 151; ave calories 1703 (154 over estimated TDEE, so no surprise I've gained)
R38 end weight 149.8; averages-- calories 1420; carbs ~48%; protein ~21% ; fat ~31%

That's better! I went for a lovely walk yesterday at one of the city's beautiful parks. Today it's colder and there's a vicious wind, and I'm still trying to lose this cold, so won't be walking, but I've restarted doing body weight exercises and am off to buy some dumbbells in a few minutes. I sold my set when we moved but I miss the little boogers.

4/29 - 149.2 - 1849
A little bit of a blowout yesterday, but things average out. All good, healthy food, just a little too much of it. I don't think the weight bump is from the food, though -- too quick. I think it's water due to cold meds. We shall see.

4/30 - 149.6 - 2102
Still getting over this stupid cold and I know I'm retaining water, although I drank gallons yesterday. And I overate yesterday (although it's not as bad as it looks since I did walk for 70 minutes). It's ok.

5/01 - 149 - 1990
Surprised I lot a little (for now). I can't seem to stop eating - and I'm not fighting it too much since I'm still sick - just a cold, but a sinus headachy coughy one. I kind of think my body needs the food for healing. Maybe I'll just sleep all afternoon and see if that helps!

5/02 - 149 - 1792 (past 7 day ave 1667)
Interesting. I've been eating more than usual but seem to be pretty much holding steady. I have been walking most days, so that must be it. Fine by me! Another beautiful day here and I'm headed out for a walk at one of the beautiful city parks.

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 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
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.
