JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 46

NormaV14 · July 2018

I am in. I have been very cognizant of my eating but not logging. Hopefully I will get it together. I am motivated. But as we all know it takes more than motivation. It takes using all the tools you have and dedication.

7/09: 234.4 no loss, but at least no gain. Calories were good and I did swim for 30 minutes but I opted to skip the bike.

7/11: 233.4 woo. Swam for 60 mins yesterday.

7/12: 232.8 so excited with this steady loss. Hope it keeps up. I skipped the bike and swimming yesterday because my mom and I went thrift shopping all day for smaller clothes for me.

7/07: 168.8

7/09: 167.6/Sounds good.
7/10: 166.6/Cautiously optimistic. Could not get up this morning for a run, perhaps will try tonight.
7/11: 167.0/Ran last night and this morning. Had to do lunges as part of strength training today, my thighs will be screaming tomorrow. Tomorrow is rest day.
7/12:166.8/Rest day and getting together with friends = anxiety over calorie consumption mixed with I don’t want to get mental about what I am eating and let it ruin my day. So a mix of both, choose wisely, but have some fun and if I go over it will be okay, it’s a ‘marathon not a sprint’ mantra for today.

07/06 - 196.2 *R45 EW
07/07 - Saturday - 198.0 ouch. Feeling bloated and slow and tired. All this sugar and salt has taken its toll on me and I'm ready to eat better today. I ate some breakfast and made lunch and plan to bring snacks to a friend's this afternoon. Also got a big water bottle. Life is hectic right now but I'm happy in each moment while still looking forward to the future.
07/08 - Sunday - 197.2 - quick check in. going to look at a house. another crazy day and I'm grateful I can keep up!
07/09 - Monday - 197.0 - So we put in an offer on the house we looked at yesterday. Super exciting! Fingers crossed all day long to see if they accept. And the washing machine we were going to pick up was a bust. The day was nothing like I planned and we ate pizza for dinner - oh well! Today is well planned at this point - so we'll see how it goes

This is a new week and I plan to get back to the basics - last week went a little off the rails, and I've got lots of things upcoming that could be excuses. I also realized I tend to go crazy in July and December - so I'm giving myself some grace rather than beating myself up for it and moving forward with baby steps! DH and I were talking this morning and realized we've made some huge changes in the past 3 years - quit drinking, quit smoking, started saving for a house, stopped going out every weekend. We made all those changes slowly, but deliberately. Reminding myself I AM CAPABLE if I just keep swimming.
07/10 - Tuesday - 195.8 - Nice! Busy as ever and incredibly prone to distraction today as we wait to hear if our offer was accepted. No breakfast smoothie, and no ice in my ice coffee this morning

that is life these last few days but I'll make the best of it! I did manage to pack of few snacks at least and take meat out of the freezer to grill for dinner. Onward!
07/11 - 193.0 - WOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!! Finally! AND! Offer accepted yesterday!!! It was a whirlwind to say the very least so I was on the low side of my calories yesterday. I ate a nice dinner even though I wasnt hungry because I knew the munchies would come late at night and try to sabotage me if I didnt! Feeling so freaking grateful to be on the road to a better me as we move closer and closer to our dream home every day too - which means babies and I need to be healthy for that to happen! Managing stress will be KEY over the next few weeks.
07/12 - 192.4 - Okay I think this is the stress at this point. Three days of whoosh seems extreme but gosh darnit I'm happy to see it. Eating has been good, even though I have NO appetite - moving lots -and trying to stay focused and organized - and also trying to get enough sleep! Phew! Checking in early here so I can focus on what needs to get done today.

Round 45 report: Logged later a few days, but average sugar consumption was quite a lot lower which was a goal. Got a couple of nice cardio workouts in, average weight is down.

Round 46 GOAL = Maintain weight. That's it. I am trying to control my anxiety by making rules again, and it's time to stop when my perfectionism is driving the bus; that's a "recipe" for disaster.

7/7 - 125.8 - yesterday under maintenance, 10K steps, got in a walk/run to gym and 20 mins on elliptical.
7/8 - 126.2 - yesterday over maintenance, due to some middle of night can't-sleep sugar. Got in a pretty solid at-home strength workout yesterday - resistance bands, exercise ball etc.
7/9 - 125.4 - yesterday under maintenance, 10K steps, got a 3.5 mile run in with some walk intervals, it was hot but ran to gym and then ran on treadmill. A day to stack up and check off the things that will make me feel better: taking care of bills, stretching, taking vitamins, sitting with the mindfulness exercise, and getting a run.
7/10 - 126.8 - yesterday under maintenance, 10K steps including a short run to gym, 35 mins on the elliptical, and slow walk home. Unfortunately the gym was steaming (it's more of a lifter's gym, hardly anyone does hard cardio there for more than 10 minutes but me, and it has west facing windows...) and by the time I got home I was BROKEN.
Dinner helped, but after passing out for 5 hours I woke at 3AM with a headache and weak willpower, and some sugar has gone down the hatch. Possibly my body is just replenishing its glycogen, I have worked out pretty hard a few days in a row ... All will be well, it's just finding my sea legs with summer here in norcal

7/11 - 126.8 - yesterday super overtired, over on calories and a planned no-workout day due to other commitments. Went to bed at 8:45 and slept 10 hours. Aaaaahhhhh. It was LOVELY.

7/12 - 127.6 - yesterday under maintenance, 13K steps, nice run. It feels so weird to run hard on a treadmill for a half a mile, take a walk break to get my heart rate down, and realize that was not quite as fast as marathon pace ... 13 years ago. But I'm running; so no worries. Another good night's sleep.

I spite of the other day's bonk, I ran to the gym in the heat and it went much better. Took ice water this time! Was still 88 when I got back home. (Dry norcal heat of course, but still hot for running!)

7/7 at 5:00 / 230.6 / Urk!

7/8 at 10:45 / 230.4 / Terrible eating. Too much running around. Too little drinking with too much salt. On the plus side, yesterday we went to NYC and saw the Statue of Liberty and were able to climb into the crown. Something like 350 steps from the ground to her crown, with the second half going up a tiny, twisting staircase. It was lots of fun and we all got a bit wobbly on the way down.

I now have a really weird sunburn on a spot where I guess I missed putting on sunscreen.

7/9 at 8:00 / 229.4 / I had a much better eating day yesterday and drank lots of fluids. This week should be a very simple week. Fingers crossed!

7/10 at 6:15 / 229 / Good eating day yesterday. Today, I'm taking part in a challenge where my only drink is water. I don't know how capable I am of that! I love my Diet Coke! I hit my head really hard during my commute. I have a bit of a headache, but I think things are okay. I'm on a bit of high alert right now.

7/11 at 6:00 / 228 / Good eating. I made it through day 1 of no Diet Coke. Can I make it two in a row?

7/12 at 8:45 / 226.8 / Good eating yesterday. My second day of no Diet Coke, but I'm working from home today and I just didn't feel like going for a third day in a row. Nice drop in weight. Of course, it's a much later weigh in, too!

Day/Weight/Comment

7/07: Weight = 164.5 (down .4 from yesterday) Happy to see the scale moving in the right direction to start off this challenge! Yesterday was a good day - was able to squeeze in a short run between thunderstorms and completed day 19 of my exercise challenge which was a Posterior Chain workout (Thigh Jacks, Elevated Bridge Lifts, Triceps Dips, Swimmers, Single Leg Tabletops, 3-Way Calf Raises). So what I learned yesterday, is that I have SUPER weak back muscles. I've found in past workouts that doing Supermans are hard for me but the Swimmer's yesterday showed me just how weak my back is. Swimmers = lie on your stomach with your arms and legs fully extended - lift your arms and legs up and begin to paddle, alternating right leg, left arm up, then left leg, right arm like a swimmer, keep your lower back engaged for 45 seconds x 3. So that's something I definitely need to work on. On to day 20 today which is Cardio Ladders. I hope everyone has a great start to their weekend and to this challenge

7/08: Weight = 162.3 (down 2.2 from yesterday). I KNOW this is not a real loss. Slept in this morning and weighed-in super late so that will account for this low number. I don't expect this to be my weight tomorrow but as long as it is below 164.5 tomorrow, I'll be good. Yesterday I was below calories, on target with macros and completed my day 20 exercises. Around 10 p.m. I found myself doing a few walking laps of my house to get my Fitbit to 10,000 steps - so silly, but hey, it is making me move more. It's a beautiful day here today, and not hot or humid like last week, so going to go enjoy a nice run and then get my day 21 challenge workout. Probably grilling out tonight, love lazy summer days!

7/09: Weight = 162.3 Didn't expect this number to stick around, very surprised but happy! I still won't believe this is a real loss for another day or two. Yesterday was the last day of the break in the heat wave, going back up this week, so I enjoyed being outside and had a great run and then we cooked out last night. Husband cooked a flank steak, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers on the grill and he and our daughter had fajitas and I skipped the tortilla and had mine on top of a brown rice/quinoa grain salad, delicious! I completed day 21 of my exercise challenge which was all about back strengthening, which I need. Capped of the evening watching the Tour de France (so addicted to this every summer), so all in all a nice relaxing weekend. My daughter has extended school year (just 3 days a week during July only) starting this week and we live relatively close to where it is being held, so I'll be walking her there for drop off and walk back for pick-up, so should be adding in some extra calorie burn for the next month. Have a great start to your week, everyone!

7/10: Weight = 161.8 (down .5 from yesterday) I *think* I've broken through my plateau, I want to see another day in this range and then feel like these are real losses. Yesterday was a good day, I ate under calories and hit my macros, no alcohol, no gluten, lots of water and completed my day 22 challenge exercise which was a lateral/side body circuit workout. Also got in a 30 minute walk with my daughter to do a trial run to see how long it would take to get her to summer school, 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back. Although my plan is to walk her there for drop off and then run home and then run back for pick-up and walk home with her. Anything to get that extra calorie burn! My big happy moment yesterday was when I caught my daughter looking at me and then she said "Mommy, I can see it, you are losing weight. You look different than you did". That being said, I am always careful being the mother of an almost teenage girl, that I tell her I am doing this to get my fitness back and be strong and healthy not to be skinny.

7/11: Weight = 161.8 (same as yesterday) I'm down 10.2 lbs since I recommitted to my weight loss in June. I'm really happy to reach this 1st milestone! Yesterday was good all around, got in lots of exercising and got my most steps since I got my fitbit last week, ate under calories and didn't have any gluten or alcohol. I did my day 23 exercise challenge yesterday which was a full body workout and I'm on tired legs today. Luckily, the scheduled workout for today is Active Recovery with 15 gratitude sun salutations. And the weather is pretty good today too, so I think my daughter and I might mini golf this afternoon, a fun way to get in some steps on this rest day.

7/12: Weight = 161.6 (down .2 from yesterday) Yesterday was active recovery, so took it very easy but completed my day 24 challenge (yoga) and just had a nice afternoon/evening with my daughter. We watched a movie after mini golf and just vegged out on the sofa, my steps were super low but that was the plan. Back at it today with running, a booty workout and a walk planned.

@tiabirdie56 I am within a pound of my lowest weight in over a decade, well within my WW goal range, but looking in the mirror I still see little fat rolls above and my “deflated tire” below my waist. We must celebrate our PROGRESS even if we feel our work is not complete.

@mrsharmon622 Welcome back!

@gomezdiana06 Don’t be scared, be determined to be mindful!

@CynthiaByrne My husband is an evening snacker while he reads or plays on his computer. I remove myself to my sewing room and watch TV. Temptation removed! I love him but sometimes he drives me nuts!

@mamasara2 A couple of days ago you said “cinnamon bench,” is that PC code for SOB?

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

7/07 133.5 My 40th Round! Working in maintenance or continued slow loss as I am already below my initial goals of 137 and 135. I’ll be traveling starting next Saturday.
7/08 133.0 Over calories, over macros, 4 servings of vodka (assuming they even put vodka in the drinks at the casino!) Two there, two at home. I slept like a baby!
7/09 133.0 Starting today I’m doing a 4 day Beef and Butter Fast with some of my online Keto friends. I love burgers! But there other recipes too! YUM!

GW: 144

Day/Weight/Comment
7/07 146.3 ~ (Steps 12,191) ~ Yesterday was a nice relaxing day, I took my grandkids out to Dairy Queen but was able to resist having an ice cream cone plus eating a late dinner after arriving home late..

7/08 147.5 ~ (Steps 89,89) ~ My husband and I took a nice long drive to the beach, after having lunch at our favorite restaurant. The weather was gorgeous, walking on the beach was perfect plus having ice cream was a treat we both enjoyed.

7/09 146.6 ~ (Steps 14,004) ~ Today was busy getting ready for the coming week but my husband and I was able to get a wonderful lunch in..

7/10 146.4 ~ (Steps 12,454) ~ The scale is going down slowly even tough I’m not going over my carb intake....I would love to hit my goal these 10 days...

7/11 no weigh in

7/12 147.4 ~ (Steps 15,215) ~ Yesterday wasn’t a good day with food, I didn’t go over my calorie goal but my carb intake was over the top....I’m heading home tonight, looking forward to it...It’s soooo sad the relationship she has with my SIL, I was in the same kind 18 years ago... Hopefully, in the next few months she’ll do what needs to be done for her happiness!

I think I might pick up some keto strips.....

I haven't been in these challenges in a very long time, but I'd like to get started again. I really need to lose weight, because I've been gaining a lot more lately. A year ago I had gotten down to 207, but I didn't stick with it. I'm joining in the middle of this one, because if I wait, I'll end up missing the beginning of the next one.

Oh yes, the dreaded not-quite-Onederland weight. I watched a group here dance at around 200 for awhile and now they are all around 190 or below. We can do it too!

Ummm.... whaaaaaa!!! 🤯😂 no clue what’s happening and why. I worked out very late last night and ate within my goal. So did everything right. Did feel bloated for the first time last night so maybe that’s what this is? Oh well! Let’s see what happens in this round. I know progress will be slower now, even if I push myself. Last 10 lbs!! Also need to get better sleep.
7/08 - 120.4
Couldn’t workout yesterday as I felt my left knee was hurting a bit. It’s very mild. Never had any kind of issues with my knees before so didn’t want to push it without knowing what’s happening. Need to figure out moves/workouts to mediate the pain and it’s almost gone with rest now. I cooked and made flan last night and hoping not to overdo it with food today!
7/09 - 119.6
Ok, so that is good. Weird weigh in yesterday and day before that better not happen again! 😂 walked for an hr. Yesterday and it felt good and my knee got to rest too. I think I’ll try to do my regular bike cardio today. Let’s see. Lack of well rested and enough sleep seems to be important for how my days go and also weigh-ins in the mornings.
7/10 - 119.4
Yay! Warm up and workout yesterday, knee feels better too. Good sleep last night and within my calories.
7/11 - 119.6
Yesterday was rest day! And kind of wasn’t a very active day physically but a busy day nonetheless. Sleep was ok, ate within my goal and looking forward to working out today.
7/12 - 118.2
Worked out yesterday and it felt so good. I feel bogged down and heavy, the days I don’t workout! Who would’ve thought I’d ever feel that way for not working out! 🤣😬 sleep could’ve been better but wasn’t too bad, also ate well within my range. Although, ate maybe a tad more carbs than I usually do, but it wasn’t over by much.

July 3, 2018 166.4* BMI: 24.9* Goal achieved 2-1/2 years Now, maintaining, or trying to!
*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~*
Round 34 to Round 42 179 to 170lbs
Round 43 SW 168... Trend wt: 168.8 -60 lbs
Round 44 SW 168.6 Trend wt: 168.3
Round 45 SW 167.6 Trend wt: 167.7
Round 46 SW 167.8 Trend wt: 167.2
Baker’s Dozen Round for me!!
Basically, it looks like I’ve maintained the past 40 days, but the trend wt is decreasing!!
*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~*~
7/6 167.8 Trend wt: 167.2* loss/week: 0.4*
7/7 167.6 Trend wt: 167.2* loss/week: 0.4*
Cutting calories, increasing deficit, keeping moving! Time to lose more wt!! Have a great round everyone!
7/8 167.2 Trend wt: 167.1* loss/week: 0.4*
7/9 167.2a Trend wt: 167.1* loss/week: 0.4*
Noticed my weekly average sodium is up to 1760mg this week. Culprit: olives on my salads...!
Will cut the quantity down. Hehe Ate our for a special event yesterday - cut back rest of day & walked extra to eat at maintenance level. Pleased.
Noticed that I felt groggy, was yawning a lot, some slight nausea — for the first time in over 8 months. Didn’t eat too much, but it had Much more fats and refined carbs. My fiber micro was the lowest in 8 months lol I’m pleased as this will reinforce my not eating out

7/10 166.8 a Trend wt: 167.0* Loss/week: 0.4*
Scale has been wonky. This could have been 167.4, but shifted at last minute. Fingers crossed!!
I just realized I’ve weighed under 170 lbs since May 26! Encouraging! Now to get my high weight to 166.4! Feeling more motivated to lose more.
7/11 165.6* ✅Trend wt: 166.8* Loss/week: 0.5*
Okay, I figured out what was happening...a new brand of hummus was driving up my daily sodium/retaining water. I’m also eating less overall. Exercising, but with less intensity.
BMI: 24.8!! Normal at 5’8.5”✅ I’m sure this will bounce a bit, but trend line tells the story!!

7/12 165.2*a ✅ Trend wt: 166.6* Loss/wk: 0.6**
Wow! Lowest weight so far!! SO exciting.
Largest trending Loss/wk since June 11. I recognized what took the wind out of my weight loss sails (& decided to maintain) & am now being kind to myself as I pull out of it. I am creating more of a deficit calorie-wise each day than before.

Funny story: when I saw 165.2 on the scale, I thought “What, no way I gained 7 lbs..!!” No idea why I thought that. I weighed three times, 165.2, 165.2 165.2 thinking “wow, my scale must be broken” Started walking to Hubby’s scale when I finally woke up enough to realize I’d lost - hadn’t recognized the 165 since I was not expecting a lower number & in fact, I’m not sure I’ve seen this number since high school!! Sure is tricky getting used to new wt numbers!

7/13

brightresolve · July 2018

@81meg1L my weight-loss-and-maintenance life changed when I started keeping track of my 10 day challenge average weights. Through all the daily ups and downs I could see the pattern emerge, and the pattern was, most 10 days the scale went down. Now in maintenance I don't worry about being back up 2 pounds (like today) because I can see my new 10 day average shaping up to be a record low ....

Takes the static out of those numbers that look like a seismograph!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 46
