JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 43

anita7164 · June 2018

6/13 192 lbs great choices for breakfast and lunch. Planned what I was eating. Did not have any of the donut holes at work. I told myself ‘you’ve had those before, not so great. So leave them alone’. And I did. 3.59 mile run/walk. Easy walk for 1.36 miles for cool down. Had very cold, very good fresh fruit for dinner. Wasn’t very caloric but it’s what I needed. Didn’t eat pretzels but I did have plantain chips. Traded one salty snack for another. Only good thing is the plantain chips are less calories than the pretzels. Did various 30 day challenges. At this point, I am working to get back to the weight at the beginning of this round - 189. Let’s see if that happens.

6/14 192 lbs AM: various 30 day challenges. No other exercise today. Went 678 calories over. No breakfast because I craved fried chicken wings and French fries from Chinese spot. Dinner was crap at a meeting. Won’t get back to starting round weight. Good point: no pretzels! I’m thinking maybe I should just have the pretzels as I seem to be eating everything else!?!?

Day/Weight/Comment
6/08 - 62.6kg (-0.4kg) - Christened our new BBQ yesterday and got a lot of veggies in. Resisted the last half a krispy kreme hanging about the house. I wish my partner would just hurry up and eat it already!
6/07 - 62.6kg (0.0kg)- Weigh in was a pleasant surprise after a big carby dinner last night. I succumbed to that stupid half a doughnut as well - I just got sick of looking at it haha. Lots of incidental exercise today and a light dinner planned.
6/08 - 61.9kg (-0.7kg) - I'm very excited and very dubious. I'm off sick with a cold so it is likely that the loss is dehydration. Still cool to see that 61.xx number

Aiming for my goal weight of under 60kg by my birthday on the 9th July so it's potentially only one month to go! Let's do this!!
6/09 - 62.3kg (+0.4kg)- I'm ok with this. Had a BBQ at a friend's house with lots of delicious food and drinks. Still trending downwards too

6/10 - 62.3kg (0.0kg) - Had a light eating day yesterday and today. Feeling motivated and super excited to see my weight staying under the 63s (despite a little weekend indulgence)
6/11 - 62.6kg (+0.3kg) -

Note to self: Long-term consistency will overcome daily fluctuations. Keep focused on your targets, keep doing what you're doing and you will achieve your goals.
6/12 - 61.9kg (-0.7kg) - Bye bye weekend weight. Went for another run last night which was easier than the run last week

Also, I think I might be approaching the upper limit of my maintenance range. For the first time in my life I think I can say that I like my body - a combination of weight loss and self-acceptance/love. Only took 30 years!
6/13 - 61.7kg (-0.2kg) - I am expecting a stressful work situation to come to a head today. I refuse(!) to be derailed by stress eating so am planning a long walk in the woods to relax and reflect before coming home for dinner.
6/14 - 61.7kg (0.0kg) - Well, you can't lose weight every single day can you? I had planned a run today but it's gale-force winds and rain outside. Yoga maybe? Feeling a bit deflated and down in general. At least my weight loss is going well, I guess! Only 0.2kg to my R43 goal.

6/15 - 61.6kg (-0.1kg) - Ooo it's a cliff hanger! 0.1kg to go and a scale flashing low battery! Will I make it to goal tomorrow? Will my scale still be alive? Will I find my stash of scale batteries, lose that last 0.1kg and save the day? Stay tuned folks haha

6/07 - 160.7 Ready to take on these next 10 days with discipline and self-control!
6/08 - 159.0 Great day yesterday! Didn’t feel deprived, but I was able to stay in control of my eating.
6/09 - 161.0. Unexpected grill out at my parents’ last night and went a little overboard. Back on track for the rest of the weekend.
6/10 - didn’t weigh - race day
6/11 - 160.1 I competed in a triathlon yesterday and I always struggle with my eating the day of a race. I’m tired, I’m hungry. I didn’t do great, but I did better than I usually do.
6/12 - 159.9 Went out to dinner and tried not to overstuff myself. Brought home lots of leftovers! No plans over the next few days so time to buckle down!
6/13 - 161.0 Tired of this roller coaster.
6/14 - 158.5 Focused on getting lots of protein yesterday. I was so full all day! But look what happened - major loss on the scale. Day two focusing on protein begins today!
6/15 - 156.4. Something has finally clicked! If I focus on getting 100+ grams on protein a day, then I feel completely satiated, my sugar cravings go way down, and the weight starts falling off. No calorie counting necessary, which is very freeing. I’m still inputting my food as I learn what I need to eat to hit that protein target, so I know I’ve been in my calorie range. But no more “bargaining” with myself over what I can eat and not eat to stay in my calorie goals. I fill up my plate with veggies and protein and I feel so stuffed I don’t want to eat anything else. I feel like I have turned a corner. I’m starting day 3 of this new focus and I’m hopeful I can keep it up. I’m excited to see where the near future will take me!

6/9 – 191lbs – makes no cents but we all know it happens even when we eat right.
6/10 – 191lbs – eat good. Had an entire jar of pickles 3 days in a row now. love them but maybe to much salt.
6/11 190lbs – no pickles and down a pound over the weekend. That’s unheard of !!!!!!!
6/12 – 190lbs – fasting for blood test later today. hope the 40lbs loss gets some of my meds lowered!!!
6/13 – 189lbs – really surprised by this since I had Asian buffet for lunch and pizza out on the boat fishing. It was hot and the bugs may have nibbled off the pound. Oh well it puts me back to starting weight.
6/14 -191lbs – 3 big homemade lake Michigan steelhead tacos.dang good, to good!!! Also had late nigh binge on my homemade 10 hour smoked BBQ ribs.

Day/Weight/Comment

6/07 - 167.5 - I'm down today, but we celebrated a birthday last night and I went over my weight loss calories. I'm expecting a little bump up tomorrow, but this is a nice way to start.

6/08 - 166.5 - I got on the scale 3 times to be sure. I doubt this sticks, but it's so nice to see that number!

6/09 - 167.5 - I had a feeling this was where it was going to be today. I've also just celebrated my husband's birthday with cake and margarita's, so tomorrow probably won't be much better, but I'll be back on track after tomorrow.

6/10 - 168.5 - Woohoo, those margarita's with the salt rimmed glasses were good! I am so glad I joined this group so I can be held accountable for these little celebrations and then get back on the wagon. The worst thing I could do is to let this weight gain take hold and keep gaining a couple pounds every month as I've done in the past.

6/11 - 168.5 - I'm glad the gaining has stopped. I hope to see a drop in the next couple days.

6/12 - 167.5 - I'm very happy with this.

6/13 - 167.5 - After a 10 day stay, our out of town family left for home this morning, so my eating and steps should stabilize now. I would love to see that 166.5 number again before this challenge is over.

6/14 - 166 - OK, I'm a little skeptical of the quick drop, but I'll take it and hope it sticks.

6/15 - 167.5 - My scale giveth and then my scale taketh away!!! I've stuck to my weight loss calories for the past few days, so I'm not sweating this.

My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.

My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

am in! Going to try a little different follow-up by adding my final weights from each round. So even though I have been doing this off and on for a while. Let's see if that doesn't give me some additional motivation (just not going to go back to look up the weights, will go from this point forward). Bring it on Round #43! I will be on the move beginning 6/10, so not sure about scale availability.

6/09 140.2# We went out for an early Father's Day celebration. That's my excuse. Leaving tomorrow for 4 days. Hope things get better. When I went to buy snacks, I passed up all the chocolate that looked enticing, for healthier but delicious other snacks i.e. fruit, nuts...

Just Give Me 10 Days

Hello! Joining in late. Please don’t flay me if I’m breaking some kind of unspoken rule. I weigh myself everyday but don’t log it because I think I’ll jinx myself. I usually log loss once it stays under for a few days. This might be a great way for me to document my weight every day.

5'2", Female, Serial Starter, Loss 65lbs in 6 months with MFP in 2013 (250lbs to 185lbs). Did it once, can do it again and then some.

Round 43 (My Round 1)

6/07- Entered round late.
6/08- Entered round late.
6/09- Entered round late.
6/10- 240.4 Proud of myself for exhibiting self control yesterday. Had to go to a Chinese buffet for a lunch thing. I made better food choices, did not over-eat, and stayed under my calorie budget for the day.
6/11- 239.8 Woohoo! Still cautiously optimistic as I’m still waiting for that initial massive loss to steady out. 10lbs in 2 weeks seems too good to be true. Does anyone know if that initially loss comes back a little? Did good yesterday food wise.
6/12- 239.2 Pizza was provided at lunch meeting. I walked away and ate my tuna instead. I did go back and ate the toppings off a slice of the chicken and veggies. Still a win, I think. I was just under calories goal today but felt hungry. Need to eat more protein.
6/13- 238! <insert Austin Powers voice>. Yea Baby! Trucking along nicely. Under calories yesterday but did not feel hugger. Onwards and downwards!
6/14- 238. Womp womp. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed after logging such a nice loss yesterday. Trying to stay positive and remember that at least it maintained but it’s difficult. Going to work hard to not let it get to my head. Was well within my calories and hit my protein goal yesterday. Possible reason for maintaining is that I may be PMSing. Light cramps yesterday and this morning. AF may be finally returning after last baby in January.
6/15- 238.2 Making history here with actually logging a gain while actively trying to lose weight. I was within calories and ate enough protein. Didn’t log water but I think I didn’t drink enough. AF hasn’t arrived. Trying not to over analyze the small gain.

6/07 - 170.6 - +2.2 from 06/06, restaurant dinner last night & no gym
6/08 - 170.6 - no loss from yesterday but today’s my weekly weigh in and I’m down 1.4 from last week!
6/09 - traveling - couldn’t weigh but I know it’ll be a gain because of all the food last night. Was worth it tho! Will just have a good week to make up for it
6/10 - 172.0 - operation “make up for the weekend” has officially started
6/11 - 172.4 - I have a feeling it’s going to be one of those weeks where I eat within deficit and workout but the scale number goes up. Happens every couple weeks for me
6/12 - 170.8 - finally headed back in the right direction!
6/13 - 169.4 - worked really hard on my deficit and exercise yesterday and glad to see it shown in the scale!
6/14 - 171.6 - no explanation for this. Yesterday was a decent calorie day and a really good exercise one. Who knows!
6/15 - 169.4 - yay! I’m going to an amusement park today which means a lot of walking, a lot of heat, take out style food and probably not enough water. Tomorrow may not be a pretty weigh in!

6/07--176.4 Yes!!! Happy to see some movement to start off the round! Had a good day yesterday; didn't snack throughout the day and ended up only a few calories over my goal.
6/08--176.2 Two days in a row is beautiful! I am determined to make this last the whole round! No snacking yesterday but I did overeat Ben and Jerry's non-dairy ice cream last night. Even so, only a few calories over my goal.
6/09--176.4 Three days in a row at 176, haven't seen that in four years! Pilates this morning and hopefully working on some projects around the house this weekend. I tend to do better, food-wise, on the weekends.
6/10--175.8 Could it be??? I was active yesterday. My diet was on point. I earned this!
6/11--176.4 It was fun while it lasted

6/12--176.4 Way over my calories yesterday but just over maintenance, so I think it will be okay. I hope! Headed out of town today for a concert so it will be two days of being in the car and eating out.
6/13--Out of town
6/14--178.0 TOM showed up to sabotage this round

6/13 - 238. I recall a few rounds ago I was 229. Disappointing to write this but also glad I have the accountability. Today I am focusing on tracking calories, everything that I eat, and increasing my water intake. I don't really have a goal till the end of the round, just perhaps staying away from overeating. *let's see*
6/14 - 237.4 Scale is in the right direction. Focusing on the positive today!
6/15 - 236.8 It's amazing how tracking your food (even if you overeat a little) will help with raising awareness and overall debloat. Progress is progress even if it's a few oz!

6/7 / 232 / Not a shocker given that I was up at 4 am to get on a train.

6/8 / 231 / Back to a more normal weigh in time. Yesterday was mostly train rides, though I did get walking in. High sodium and not enough water, so I'm pleased to be at 231. Woke up with a killer headache. I don't know if it's sinus or lack of caffeine (I've been trying to cut back). I started today with a big breakfast, so we'll see how my calories shake out.

6/9 / 230.6 / Sinus headache again (I'm pretty sure it's sinus).

6/10 / 230.4 / Slowly creeping down. And headache AGAIN. I've gone a tiny bit over calories the past couple of days. I've been eating bigger breakfasts than normal for me, and it's not a winning strategy. It's not enough to cause me to gain. It will just slow my loss. But today, I'm getting that back down to my normal. I've abandoned giving up caffeine right now.

6/11 / 231.4 / Bah.

6/12 / 230.4 / All day on the 11th in jury duty. Very under calories, though even more under on any hydration until late.

6/13 / 232 / I've got some digestive things going on that are no fun. I'm doing well, calorie-wise, so I'm not worried about this weigh in. I keep missing my exercise goal, though.

6/14 / 231.6 / Eating well. Got my exercise in. Tummy troubles continue to plague me.

6/15 / 231.6 / Groundhog day. Still eating well. (This has been a good round food-wise.) Got my exercise in yesterday. Still having digestive issues.

6/07 - Thursday - 198.4 - Nice! Last night was crazy busy, still ate well. Packed and ready to leave from work! I am committed to being present in the moment while away, but also plan to keep up my habit and log in to MFP each day. No scales. Aim to maintain while still enjoying!
6/08 - Friday - Traveling - ate at maintenance today! And yesterday. Aiming to do the same tomorrow and Sunday!
6/09 - Saturday - Traveling - another day at maintenance!
6/10 - Sunday - Traveling - Ate at maintenance again!
6/11 - Monday - 199.8 - Holy moly I cannot believe this! Perhaps I'm a bit dehydrated after traveling? Although I usually retain water after a flight. I had a lovely vacation with my family - it was not entirely centered around food but I certainly enjoyed myself eating instead of stressing about every bite. It was so nice to get away from it all. It was also fun to enjoy things this weekend and not feel bad about it. I'm not on a diet this time around - it's a lifestyle change. So I'm not stressing about "cheating" or having a few not so perfect days. Life is for living and I did a lot of that this weekend! The food I ate fueled me to wake up and watch the sunrise on the beach. It fueled me to swim and play in the ocean for hours. It was food I shared with loved one's. It was food that made me smile. I thought I might go home with a few extra pounds of weight, but it seems I have found the right balance and I get to come home with a few hundred memories, a heart full of love, and gratitude for the things my body allows me to do.
6/12 - Tuesday - 201.2 - Yesterday was tough - I was so tired, and I don't do well with anything when tired. I made it to the grocery store - avoided the chips in the check out line - but ate 2 slices of deli meat when I got home. Cooked and ate dinner, ate some ice cream, ate some chips, ate some more ice cream. Oi. That hasnt happened in a while but between the indulgences over the weekend and the lack of sleep I got a bit out of control. Logged it and I'm moving on! Back to my usuals today - smoothie, leftovers for lunch, popcorn for a snack, and meats thawing for dinner tonight. Lots of water to flush out ALL this sodium I've consumed over the past 5 days, expecting the gain to stick around a few days but hopeful to be back in onderland by rounds end!
6/13 - Wednesday - 200.6 - Ate within calories yesterday! Lots of water and fresh air really helped. I also did a little research on lack of sleep and weight. Turns out not getting enough sleep does indeed cause hormonal shifts that make you hungrier, and hungrier for fatty foods. So, I got to bed early again and I'm ready to crush another day! Got my smoothie, wrap with chips (portioned out) for lunch, and an extra scoop of protein powder for a snack because my protein goals have been falling short lately. Visualizing the scale being in the 100's by Saturday. Visualization helps me with a lot of things - I used to drive crazy distances and I'd visualize myself getting home at the end of it and it really helped me through those drives, so I kept it as a tool, and I'm going to try applying it here. Visualizing myself strong, fit, healthy, and happy!
6/14 - Thursday - 199.6 - Got some lab test results yesterday. Triglycerides were sky high. I was so dissapointed for a moment. But instead of wallowing, I did my research, got some fish oil, and worked doctors orders of 2 doses/day into my regular routine. A teaspoon in my morning smoothie, and a teaspoon in the evening after dinner. It's scary to see the numbers like that in black and white. That's why I'm doing this though - to gain knowledge and improve my health! Also started taking vitamin b complex last night because my bilirubin was also slightly elevated - my body is telling me that it might be due to vitamin b deficiency from metformin use. Now the hard part - to maintain these habits! Eating was good yesterday - stayed within calories even though I was "hungry" right before bed I resisted. Smoothie, packed lunch, snacks, and planned dinner is all prelogged today. Havent done that before but I was stressing about food yesterday so it felt good to commit to a plan and be done thinking about it. Lots of water again today. Im visualizing the scale at 197.6 - not specifically for the end of this round, it will be a 15 lb loss so that is what I'm working towards currently.
6/15 - Friday - 198.6 - A good day yesterday! I'm feeling stronger - doing 15 wall push ups per bathroom trip and 15 squats (started at 5 each and it was hard then). Eating was good yesterday even though I went a bit off plan. I'm really happy that I'm learning how to go with the flow and make smart choices when things don't go as planned instead of using that as an excuse to eat junk. Another new winning recipe! https://thewoksoflife.com/2016/04/15-minute-lazy-noodles/ around 530cals/serving as written! Took ALL my meds and supplements yesterday - huge win for me, now to continue that! I did learn I can't take b-complex at night cause I woke up 3 times to pee! So I'll be adjusting that to mid day/early evening. Having a dinner party tonight - prelogged my day to see what will fit at dinner time, so I'll be a mindful while still enjoying the company of friends and some tasty food they are bringing from a local butcher. Looks like I'll get some more lettuce to add a salad for some volume. Forewarned is forearmed! Happy Friday!
