JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 46

Age 60, 5'4.5" 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. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 [R39] to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss had stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
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
Ecstatic with my 5/15/18 annual workplace Health Risk Assessment: waist smallest since 2007 and BMI 25.6
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.

Today ~ Smile ~ Laugh ~ Be Kind ~
~ Eat Well ~ Be Active 13 -
Love this challenge. Goal this round: always be aware of what I’m eating. Maybe it should be always be aware of what I’m doing because the eating I regret always comes with mindless doing, procrastination, and/or tiredness. Also want to get in all my gym days and some kind of exercise every day. A ‘just for 10 days’ experiment.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/07, Saturday – 161.8 Hoping this will be easy to get down to the 160’s.
7/08, Sunday – 161.8 Seems like I spent most of yesterday on the phone but did get in some gardening in the evening – first time placing stones in a two level bed. It was a lot of fun and think it turned out well.
7/09, Monday – 161.6 Gym today.
7/10, Tuesday – 161.8 Rain today – thankful that God decided to water and I don’t have to. Woke up early so decided to start my home exercises, aim to run through them all today (abt. 1 hr, and a spread it over the day). They make a good balance for the gym but haven’t done the whole lot in more than a year.
7/11, Wednesday - 161.2 Making progress … off to the gym today.
7/12, Thursday – 161.2 Gym and gardening yesterday but ended up eating a bit in the evening. Not supposed to eat anything after about 8 because of invisible Gerd and also a good weight loss habit. Finding it hard to stick with when doing physical work in the evening though – my favorite time to garden as it is quiet and cool.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/07 189.6 Can this be real? I worked hard at this yesterday to get this challenge off to a better start than the last. Over 10,000 steps. Intermittent fasted for 16:8 . 25 net carbs. 1269 calories. Now just to hang on……..
7/08 189.0…. Very pleased with progress. Now….Just to keep from sabotaging myself. Dr. Appointment tomorrow which is keeping me accountable. Hope I can hold it steady afterward…..
I walked nearly 13,000 steps yesterday including a planned 1 mile brisk walk just prior to dinner. I intermittent fasted 16:8. Liquids okay but could have been better. Battled some cravings late night, but got through it with a square of bitter 90% dark cacao chocolate. I tried hard to pretend it was milk chocolate or maybe a Milky Way but eh…….
7/09 188.4 Dr. Appointment later today so I wanted to be accountable. I walked over 16,000 steps yesterday and nearly 7 miles. Low on water due to work and being so busy. Followed my diet well and fought the late night cravings and urges to binge which I sometimes give in to. I intermittent fasted 16:8 which is not always easy for me. The doctor appt today kept me on track for sure!
7/10 187.4 Keep on keepin’ on. Walked over 10,000 steps. 16:8 Intermittent fast. Good water, tea and vinegar. Brisk 1.5 mile walk after dinner. Dr. & staff impressed with weight loss. Blood Pressure 112/77. All is well. Today is an out of town trip quite far from home. Due to being mainly carbound, I will not get in my steps and my diet will be off. We’ll see what tomorrow’s scales bring. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!
7/11 out of town today. No scale, but it won’t be good. Chinese buffet yesterday. I will be very careful today as I travel home. I dread the water weight after so many carbs and so much sodium. When I’m home and use the scale tomorrow it will probably be a very sad day. Why? Why? Why?...........
7/12 192.2 ugggg…….. 13,122 steps yesterday after I got home but less than 5, 000 on Tuesday due to travel plan. The Chinese food yesterday is showing and the picture isn’t pretty. I watched my diet pretty carefully yesterday after I arrived home. 27 carbs, 1085 calories. The 13,000 steps included a brisk 1.5 mile walk in my neighborhood. But as I’ve stated before, you cannot outrun the fork so I pay dearly….. I will continue to be careful today and try hard to reach my macros, carbs and calories with grace (even if it is without ease). The fight continues and I do remain fierce.

@mamasara2 A couple of days ago you said “cinnamon bench,” is that PC code for SOB?
I was wondering the same thing! I've looked back at that several times to try to figure out what it meant, LOL2 -

@MadisonMolly2017, this morning I was so pleased because I had a new low weight. But when I entered it into MFP it filled it out as if I had typed it before. I was so bummed! Then I realized, yet again, that I had typed my weight 10 pounds higher than I meant. So I completely hear you!4 -
I'm back for this round. Took a small mental break and also went on vacation. I am going to have to go back and find my weight information from prior rounds. I am having my kitchen renovated and as of yesterday all of the cabinets and flooring have been removed, so it's been a challenge.
Goals:
1. Do some exercise everyday.
2. I hate to make weight goals, but I would love to be back in the 219's at the end of the round.
Day/Weight/Comment
7/07--221.1 Some of this is water weight from vacation. Going out for lunch and a movie today. I am very happy that after 3 weeks of recovery my dog can go back out on walks as of today. My dog is probably even happier.
7/08--221.3 Feeling bloated. Didn't get enough water yesterday, it's difficult because my house is in an upheaval due to the renovation. Going to kettlebell today.
7/09--221.7 Went to kettlebell yesterday and then played some tennis with my husband. I hardly got any water in this weekend. Having no kitchen sink doesn't help. I didn't realize how stressful this renovation could be. I think it's more the fact that I can't find almost anything. I can't believe how ecstatic I was when I located the ketchup yesterday. My plan is to start back up with my crocheting to help reduce some of the stress.
7/10--221.7
7/11--221.3 I forgot to post yesterday, my regular routine is so messed up. I started back with C25K yesterday and then did some foam rolling. Barely got any water in yesterday...was dealing with appliance delivery issues and lost focus to get my water in.
7/12--221.3 I will take it. Working on water today.

it is 100% normal for your weight to fluctuate all day based on hydration level, etc. I would say that this one blows that old wives tale about how coffee dehydrates you right out of the "water" lol!
Weight goes up and down ... a lot ... pay attention to the calories in and out, and the weight takes care of itself ((hug))2 -

Hahaha! Yes.
Me and my potty mouth....
Say it out loud. If you say it just right, it sounds like a toothless old man cursing. 😂
I had great uncles and aunts who sounded like that. Uncle Calvin comes to mind. He always sat right in front of his six inch black and white tv screen in an insanely ratty chair, was keen on catfish, and was married to the sweetest lady. She was round and smiley with sad eyes and a talent for canning like no other.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/7: 180.6 –Weird, because I ate badly yesterday, but not over calories. Today has not been good either, so I’m sure this won’t be on the books for long. Gotta get my head back in the game. Company leaves on Monday night and then perhaps I can resume some semblance of normalcy.
7/8: 181.6
7/9: 183.0
7/10: 180.2 Company has left and now I can get back to my life and the vast improvements I have to make. This round starts now for me.
7/11: 180.4: I can’t seem to get this right. Just crap eating all day and very little exercise. WHY can’t I get my head around this. It’s so simple. Eat well, move, lose weight. Ugh!!
7/12: 180.0: Please, PLEASE can I magically get below 180, even though I know I’m not doing what I’m supposed to do???

Height: 5'0 | SW: 111 | GW: 109
7/07 | 110.4 - Stayed under calorie limit and went for a small walk. I think I will start doing morning stretches again.
7/08 | 109.8 - Had a beer for the first time in a while...then ended up eating a late night tortilla. lol Noticed bloating in my stomach this morning.
7/09 | 111 - Not surprised the scale said heavier since I did have a beer last night. Also I ended at1240 calories.
7/10 | 110 - Ate a bit lighter to counteract the overeating from the day before.
7/11 | 109.8 - School has me super busy, almost no time to workout or eat a proper meal. Energy drinks & croissants from the gas station don't count do they?
7/12 | 109 - I have been going on evening walks with my husband (pokemon go is such a great bonding tool for us lol), and it's been a great way to relax between assignments and after class. Also a fun way to get in some activity since I spend the whole day in front of a computer or in lectures.

Congratulations on hitting your goal weight!!!3 -
@quiltingjaine, Oh believe me, I'm elated with my progress. The skinny fat comment was pretty much a thought out loud. Just not accustomed to this way of losing fat. Today, my son showed me a photo of myself from 2015. I wanted to lose 30 lbs then. I was slim but very toned. Not toned at all right now. So, I'm skinny fat with atrophied muscles. Lol. I need to build my muscle back.

Feeling quite frustrated with these bumps, I need to just dig deep, stick with it and wait for the scales to start behaving again! - Looking for a downward trend to see out this round now! Really focused on my logging.
I am SO SO determined!! I 100% NEED to stay mindful about my daily logging and being mindful about what I eat and drink.
This is a long term thing, a few bad days is something I'm getting better at coping with.
@no1racefan1 ... I found your post yesterday to be inspirational! You've made amazing progress and have a great attitude!9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/07: 70.6 - Ate left over pizza and got very very sweaty at judo. All in all a fairly good day. Slightly above my calories allowance, but only just, so should be okay on that.
7/08: 70.3 - Odd day of eating. Judo in the morning (feeling it today, didn't stretch enough afterwards), then when to my parents for lunch and dinner, so wasn't really able to log completely accurately. But did my best shot. Ate cakes and more things that I'd normally go lighter on and I had some wine. Overall calories weren't bad (mostly thanks to the stupid amount of judo I did in the morning)
7/09: 70.8 - Another really good day and ate under my calories. Breakfast wasn't great, but was more like brunch timewise. And then I felt like eating a big meal, so had a much larger than normal late lunch and then wasn't at all hungry for dinner so didn't eat anything. Would liked to have seen a drop to coincide with the good couple of days, but hopefully it's just a little wobble and I'll see it dropping again tomorrow.
7/10: 70.3 - And we're back here again (yay). Overall a good day on food, plus judo on top. Really wanted a snack when I got in from work (my lunch was not enough food I have decided) so ended up having nutella and peanut butter in a ricecake sandwich which is a fairly standard snack for me. Except this time I actually weighed everything out properly, and am fairly sure I've been under logging my spreads, something to bare in mind for future. Got half way through it, and didn't really feel hungry anymore, but I finished it anyway because I had already logged the calories. Kind of wish I hadn't now, I probably could've saved about 70-100kcals by leaving the 2nd half. Didn't eat all my rice for dinner, so that's been put into my lunch for today. Glad I'm actually listening to my body and how hungry I am. Wish I could act upon that feeling every time. However, all in all a positive day.
7/11: 70.3 - Better than going up! And I saw 69 appear for a second when I stepped on the scales! A pretty good day and was well under my calories. Somewhat surprisingly too. I'm slightly wondering if I messed up logging my dinner because I was really very full at the end of it (it was too yummy I didn't want to leave any) but it came in much less than I was expecting. I'm trying to work out if I under logged or if I'm just starting to get used to the smaller number of calories in my meals.
7/12: 69.5 - I was not expecting that. Not one bit. Yesterday was good on the food, but then that cider and a couple of Gin and tonics happened and I was expecting this mornings weigh in to be heavy thanks to that. Could be going the other way in that I'm more dehydrated than normal, so I might be gaining some of this back tomorrow. I'll wait and see. Fingers crossed I stay below the 70 mark
7/13: 69.9 - Pfffft only just. Looks like I was dehydrated yesterday morning because I was actually kept myself well hydrated yesterday. Did a good job at avoiding temptations, work had a free bbq and icecream and stuff, which I only found out about after I'd eaten my lunch. Was very tempted to go and get more more food anyway, but somewhat proud of myself that I didn't, because I knew I didn't need it (though my tummy was rumbling a little, I think that was more to do with me being slightly hung over). Massively volume ate for dinner though. Ended up eating a whole baked marrow (all of about 150 kcals) so felt uncomfortably full for the evening. I managed to remind myself why I don't like overeating without completely blowing my calories. Also, not certain I got completely enough protein yesterday, so I will be ensuring that today will have more in.

Round 46 (1) SW 307.2 GW 303.0 UGW 175.0
I have lost the same four pounds between 307 and 303 at least six times. How silly is that? Last time down these pounds....go away 307.....
Day/Weight/Comment
7/07 308.2 Ack!!! I said I wanted to be out of the 307 number but I didn't mean 308. Good grief.
7/08 308.0 Almost back to 307s. Looking for consistency in eating. Logging but need to find a way to stay busier on weekends so I'm not finding extra calories to consume. Big change coming.
7/09 308.0 I think my scale is broken Doctor appt on Friday to show progress. Let's get off to a good start this week. Keep up the great work everyone.
7/10 305.2 Ok, going the right direction. Past 307 and 306 back to 305. Now to focus on 304. Much better day of eating yesterday. Weekends at home are tough -- too many options.
7/11 304.8 Bye 305. Hope to never see you again. 304 - this is a temporary stop -- no offense but I want to visit your neighbor 303 pretty soon.
7/12 304.0 So close to leaving 304-zone behind. Tomorrow is my doctor appointment to check progress. Have managed to lose several pounds but only after I had gained several pounds. But I'm mentally figuring out how this works. Coming up on one year learning how to focus. Lots of ups and downs throughout. Not just a number on the scale but rather re-learning how to eat, how to exercise, how to exist....watching all of your progress on this board has been a blessing. Keep up the great work.
7/13 302.4 Jump over 303 -- not going backwards anymore. Lots of room in front of me -- lots of pounds to go but nice looking back at the pounds I'm leaving behind. Focusing on the process and not just the number. The scale is a byproduct of the work we all put in and just one measure of our effort.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/07 - 163 - I'm glad I didn't bump up from yesterday's weight. Now let's see if I can get through this plateau in the next 10 days.
7/08 - 161.5 - I know this won't last, but it sure is nice to see!
7/09 - 161 - Whoa, was not expecting this!
7/10 - 160.5 - So I bounced between 163 and 165 for 3 weeks while sticking to my calorie goals. Either I've smashed through my plateau or my scales need a new battery.
7/11 - 161.5 - As long as I don't have to see 163 again this round, I'm happy.
7/12 - 161 - It looks like I may be sticking around this number for now, Yay!
7/13 - 160.5 - It will be nice if I can make it through the weekend at this weight.
