Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 48

ROUND 6 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old 5’ 5” Midwest USA Original starting weight 235 on 1/11/18

………We are fierce and so we fight………

Goals: 1. To be an inspiration to my 22 year old Autistic son who started his weight loss journey on May 1, 2018 weighing 308.4 . (He weighs in about once per week)
2. 3 lb loss to land at 183.8 or less for myself
3. No Bingeing
4. No “cheat days” only “Earn days”. No “Earn Days” only “Earn Meals” which are much easier to bounce back from.
5. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
6. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
7. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/27 188.4 Self Sabotage during and after a night out with friends yesterday. My own fault, no excuses. Ate 166 Net Carbs, 1972 Calories In / 2675 Out. 11 of 13 step hours (250) on fitbit. Walked 3.98 miles with 9,393 steps. Did great today so tomorrow’s stats should be much better. Socializing makes it tough!

7/28 186.0 whoosh…, high sodium and water weight gone for good along with doubts and self-sabotage. It was a good day yesterday. I worked hard to make up for my social night out. I ate 19 Net Carbs. 1192 Calories In / 3089 Calories Out. 13/13 fitbit steps (250). Blood sugar 126 before meal test (still suffering a bit from day before). Brisk 3 mile walk at school track. Day’s total was 16,625 steps and a total of 7.03 miles for the day. Best victory was that I made good healthy choices in my meals all day (not just stayed in my macros). I did indulge in that 90% Lindt chocolate, but it kept my cravings curbed as well as serves as an antioxidant. An overall very successful day.

7/29 185.2 Overall good day but not as active due to some light but frequent car time. I at 19 Net Carbs. 1263 Calories In / 2354 Calories Out. Did 9,246 steps with no particular exercise involved. Walked 3.92 miles and hit 11/13 steps hours (250) on fitbit. Followed my diet very well but drank very little water or fluids overall. I plan on drinking much more today. I forgot to check my blood sugars yesterday. My doctor has me checking before meals now instead of in the morning so I often forget to do it before I eat. I made delicious Keto friendly Jalepeno poppers yesterday. So fast, easy and delicious. Just cut off ends of Jalepenos, slice in half (like a canoe). Take out seeds and ribs (rinse under water if you need to). Fill with cream cheese (and a little salt if you need more sodium.) wrap in ½ slice of bacon, or lay ¼ slice on top (depends on how many calories you want. Bake on 375 until bacon is done to your liking. Net carb about 1 to 1.5 per popper (half) calories about 60 – 70 (depending on how high you heap the cream cheese). I use about ½ TBSP per popper of cream cheese so calories are about 70 each. Yummy!

I'm back! Was doing this challenge last year for a while. I think from about round 11 - 17. Got off track and am ready to get serious again.I'm 60 years old, soon to be 61. I like to walk and do yoga, but haven't been doing either lately.
I mostly eat a Paleo type diet, but just bought some ketostix and may give keto a whirl, but not until after my anniversary and birthday in August. I've done two rounds of Whole30 and had really good results from it.

UGW - 160

Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)
Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 47 End Weight = 157.2 (2.4 lbs lost)

Highest Weight = 172 lbs
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)

Round 48 Goal: to be in the 155's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in week 2 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/weekday
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.

07/27 - 157.2 (no change from yesterday) I had a really good exercise day yesterday! Was able to get a run in and completed the 1st week of my 90 day challenge with the day 7 exercises. Food wise, everything was on point. I'm tired today and super happy it's Friday! So looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, although a later weigh-in may sque the number on the scale. I bought a book yesterday that was recommended by another person on a similar weight loss/fitness journey called Intuitive Eating and looking forward to diving into this book over the weekend. Welcome to everyone new to this challenge, excited to see what this round brings!

07/28 - 157.0 (down .2 from yesterday) Late weigh-in this morning and hopefully will have a late weigh-in tomorrow, so we'll see what the scale brings on Monday with a normal weigh-in time. Yesterday I completed day 8 of my 90 day challenge: Body Squat w/ 2 Knee Lift, Incline Push Ups, Alternating Reverse Lunges, Elbow Plank, 4-Point Triceps Dips, Side Step Squat w/ Bicep Curls (used dumbbells), & Bridge Lifts. My upper body is my weakest area (in terms of strength) and I put on weight here 1st and lose here last. Those 4-point triceps dips were hard!! But the sense of accomplishment after is worth all the pain of doing them! On point yesterday with nutrition, calories & macros. Today is a scheduled rest day and my plan was to do nothing, but my daughter just got invited over to a friend's house, which opens me up to be able to get outside and get a run in - Yay!

07/29 - 156.7 (down .3 from yesterday) Didn't get to sleep in this morning as my daughter had a friend sleepover and they were up quite early wanting breakfast. They had a baked berry French toast, I had prepped the night before, I took a small bite but it didn't really interest me, happy to stick to my green smoothie. Yesterday was a partial rest day, just did a short run, it was a little warm but there was a nice breeze so no complaints. I did my day 10 of 90 workout earlier this morning and for the rest of the day I'm hoping to get some meal prep in and then have some nice family time with my husband and daughter. Enjoy your day everyone

7/27 178.2 // Although this is a gain from some of my lowest weights recently it’s a decrease in my starting weight over the last three rounds. I know that tomorrow I’m going to spend all day eating out so I’m hoping to keep my diet in check today.
7/28 177.2/ Happy to see a decrease!
7/29 178.2/ I ate out for pretty much every meal yesterday and didn’t drink enough water so this was to be expected. I’m getting back on track today and trying to rehydrate.

Actually lost well last round. For me, losing more than a # in a round is amazing. It helped of course that I was just undoing the gains of the two rounds before. That’s where this challenge is so great. Keeps you on track.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27, Friday – 160.2 Getting ready for a trip but decided I’d better hang in there and log what I can. If I can plan carefully and work through my list of things to do hopeful can have a good trip and keep the weight down. I’m visiting my kids & grandkids who mostly eat very well. There is a lot of driving though and those days are not so good. I did buy an excellent cooler though so I can avoid the fast food and stop at rest stops. Just takes a little planning. Determined to leave the 160’s behind.
7/28 Saturday – 161.2
7/29 Sunday – 160.6

I'm late to the party - but all in. I was part of, gosh, maybe round 17, 18 & 19? Then decided to stop weighing myself so often - but I really need the accountability. I lost 20+ pounds from March through mid-June. Summer and crazy schedule hit and have gained at least 5 back. So......thanks Jackie for keeping this going so long - there are obviously a lot of people that appreciate it (and need it!).
