Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 48

*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~*
Round 34 to Round 47: from 179 to 165 lbs
-14 lbs in 14 Rounds!

My 15th Round!!!
Round 48 SW 164.8 Trend wt: 164.1 Loss/wk: 0.9
BMI: 24.7
*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~*~*
7/27 164.2 Trend wt:164.0 Loss/wk: 0.9
7/28 164.6 Trend wt: 164.2 Loss/wk: 0.8 Scale is wonky as we’re traveling & floor is uneven! LOL
7/29 165.4 Trend wt: 164.5 Loss/wk: 0.7
Not worried. I’m tracking, exercising... all will be good! And the trip is rejuvenaring! #Grateful!
7/30 166.2 Trend wt: 165 Loss/wk: 0.6
“Overall, during this period, you have lost 2,355 cals (net Calories deficit), which means you should have lost 11oz. Your total Calories intake was 14,632 and your total Calories expended was 16,987 (of which, 3,848 cals were burned from exercise).
According to your weigh-ins, you've gained about 2lb during this time. You've lost about 2.7lb less than expected.”
Hahahahahaha!!! So I guess I *really* weigh 163.7, which I believe.
Culprit: two salty meals? Many more steps?? More sleep! Not going to worry about it. Still...it is disconcerting when I was so active & brought my food, weighed food, etc, tracked all. I see why folks have a 5-lb maintenance window.
Two planned & tracked restaurant meals which I don’t have normally.
Carrying on!
7/31 166.0 Trend wt: 165.3 Loss/wk: 0.4
BMI: 24.9
Had a bit of a carb pity party last night - all weighed & tracked LOL Not too far over in calories, but Very unlike me. I think I’m back on track today...a great night’s sleep should help me along.
Perspective helps: My wt is down for the month. My exercise was highest yet this month. All is good. Relax. You can do this & will learn from it.

8/1 165.8 Trend wt: 165.4 Loss/wt: 0.4
BMI: 24.8
Creeping back down...

8/2 165.4 Trend wt: 165.5 Loss/wk: 0.4
Continuing to creep down... This is the first time this has happened to me. I’m glad I’m turning it around!
Huge NSV last night. 3-mile walk with significantly faster pace over 8.5 mins faster per mile than I could do before & 3 times the distance!!!. Definitely STRONGER & more fit!!!!!! #grateful #thrilled

8/3 164.2 Back under RSW!!
Trend wt: 165.2 Loss/wk: 0.4
BMI: 24.7 again!!
I guess I should be thankful that I gain slowly even if it means I lose slowly too! Vastly relieved.
If I’m lucky, I might make my original RGW...we’ll see! I won’t be eating out again anytime soon...even carefully & tracked. Just doesn’t seem to work with my body.

Plan to reach this goal:
-NO EATING OUT AT ALL IN THE NEXT 10 DAYS EVEN IF IT'S "HEALTHY"
-Pre-plan the night before and make sure you have all of your ingredients at home and follow through.
-Workout at least 3 times a week (Goal of running at least 4 minutes straight at 6.5 mph)

8/02- Unable to weigh in because I had to go to school and was rushed. We'll see tomorrow. Basically under my goal today and went to the gym. GUYS I MET MY GOAL OF RUNNING FOR 4 MINUTES STRAIGHT at 6.5 mph! Next going to get to 5 minutes straight! It's fun to make progress. Makes you want to keep going to reach your next small goal. Kind of like weightloss too.

Cool on the running! I never thought of doing small goals for fitness too! Makes so much sense!

How is your no eating out going? I've been trying to do the same and I know tonight (my usual take out night) is going to be the hardest!

The small goals are very helpful. Personally, when I'm running I just want to be done- I countdown the seconds and I just can't wait for it to end lol. I figured if I just extend it an extra 10 seconds every time, it's not too much of a crazy stretch so it makes it easier and you still feel a sense of accomplishment. I go to the gym often enough that it adds up quickly so it doesn't take forever to reach a new overarching goal. I really recommend it! It helps me!

The eating out is definitely tricky especially with family members who bring home takeout or other food. I did go to chipotle the other day because I hadn't had the time to prepare a lunch in the morning and skipped breakfast on top of that. But what I'm really proud of is that I've been making really healthy choices when going out. Not getting the calorie-packed tortilla on the side, for example lol. Choosing nonfat milk instead of whole milk. Not eating the whole bun. Things like that. Just little tweaks here and there. I didn't meet the goal though of not going out at all. It's very difficult haha. Maybe I'll try again in the next round. How'd it end up going for you??

I’m in. I’ve gone completely out of control! I can’t believe I keep doing this to myself.

SW this round 185.8
Goal this round 180.0 looking for -5.8 this round.

It’s a big goal but my body is just so so so bloated that I think I’ll drop a few pounds easy as long as I push the water. If I can make this happen this round I will make more reasonable goals in the future rounds.

7/27 - 185.8
7/28 - 184.4. (-1.4) so far so good.
7/29 - 182.8 (-3 total so far)
7/30 - 180.8 (-5 total so far)
7/31 - 180.0. (-5.8 total so far) I know it’s just water weight coming off but it’s a good motivator anyway!
8/1 - 178.6 (-7.2 total so far) shocked at the weigh in this morning. I thought I would have a gain as I had a love fest (or feast) with half a package of S’more wafer cookies. I did run just over 3 miles in this Texas heat after work yesterday so who knows. Our bodies are funny things that react in ways we don’t expect at times.
8/2 - 178.6 (-7.2 total so far)- well the water weight seems to have worked itself out! Pleased.
8/3 - 179.6 (-6.2 total so far) up a bit but still pleased overall.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/26- went for radiation, cut the lawn( big property), took grandchildren to the park, worked out on treadmill, rest.

7/27-walked, yoga, Completed week 5 radiation. I have a health update when I see the doctor All 5 weeks perfect!

7/28- Did not have a good night sleep last night, I hour, 20 mins during the day.( steroids, one more week and then we can start to cut them back, they are making me super hungry, walking helps.

7/29 Had a great day, slept last night, did a lot of walking 112mins. Goal for next week watching my food portions. Steroids are making it really hard for me, one more week and then I can start to cut them in half.

7/30- Had a great day for walking steps. Went for radiation#6 left, and I had to go to the hospital for EEG to test brain for seizures, but I doubt it because I feel fine. I did to much today.

7/31-I feel fantastic, not one symptom since I started radiation completed 25 treatments, down to the last 5, doctors said I would lose my hair after week 2 or 3 -that did not happen. I think because I drink so much water and when I wake up everyday I have an organic bread with avocado. I have been out walking at least 12,000 steps. I am very fortune.

8/1 Only a couple hours sleep last night. Made my meals for tomorrow. Went walking. Since the weekend my steps have been up. 4 more treatments for Radiation. I can't believe it.

8/2 - worked on meal planning for next week. Steps- have been over 10,000 all week. Still not much sleep last night.
8/3- I am so excited, next week Monday is a holiday and then I only have 2 treatments left for Radiation, Tuesday and Wednesday. I finished 28. They were saying today because I kept my regular routine as before I could fight hard, and be symptom free. Means so much for me, when I ring the bell for completion it maybe the first time I see a few tears of happiness!

Day/Weight/Comment

7/27: 178.8. I won’t lie, this was a late weigh-in, but I’m taking it. I’m still playing nutritional roulette. Why? I know how critical it is for me to get my weight down and my nutrition on point. I’m in my 50s and I can’t afford to keep eating like a 11-year-old let loose in a junk food store. Today, for example, I had a banana in the morning, nothing all day and then a jam sandwich, diet coke and a piece of chocolate that my son bought for me. I’m way low on calories, but not given my body one bit of nutrition. No point in whining though. I’ll just start over right now.

7/28: 178.4

7/29: 178.8. Super lazy weekend. Binge watched an entire two seasons of Queen of the South. I was so absorbed my accent changed to Southern and I could swear like a trooper in Spanish. Feels like I spent the weekend in Mexico and Texas. That being said, no exercise, no effort to eat well, so up we go!!

7/30: 178.8

7/31 178.4

8/01 179.8 It’s what happens when you eat half of a huge bag of Twizzlers and a bowl of chips. You know, I have to laugh at myself. I spend my life teaching my boys, who are now 20 and 21, the importance of the quality of food you put into your system. I drone on about balanced diets, the evils of excess sugar, the effects of food-like substances on energy levels and sleep patterns. Best part is, they’ve taken it all on board and eat well, exercise daily and have junk food in moderation. I am a great teacher – if only I was a better learner!!!

8/02 179.4 Think I’m going to have to be more consistent with my weigh in times. I’m all over the board and it’s frustrating. I ate way below calories yesterday and did almost 14,000 steps. Was hoping for a slightly bigger drop, but I’ll wait it out. Today is another day to do well.

8/03 178.2 It really does matter what time I weigh. Weighed at three different times, got three different weights. Took the middle ground even though I SO wanted to take the lowest one. @quiltingjaine, thanks for the encouragement and sorry if I’ve been whiny. I am aware that I’ve been whining lately and I need to change my state of mind. I am also determined to get this thing on track. It’s been six rounds and my loss has been painfully slow. Time to pull up my socks and start afresh!!!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

7/27 135.5 The aftermath of sitting in a car for 2 days.
7/28 135.0 @0500 I have been craving burnt ends from a local BBQ place. I forgot to tell them no sauce. I think this has dropped me out of nutritional ketosis. Color me sad. Why would you slather sauce on meat that has been dry rubbed and smoked and tasted awesome? The sauce is awful!
7/29 134.5 Ate well yesterday but wanted “something.” I haven’t had one of those days sine I started keto over a year ago. Finally got a fat bomb out of the freezer and all was well. I’m curious about where everyone is and what your high temperatures are. I live in the desert SW - Las Vegas, and the temperature this morning at 5:30AM was 91*F with anticipated high of only 109 today.
7/30 133.5 Water fitness was great!
7/31 133.5
8/1 133.5
8/2 133.5 What a lousy night! I know good sleep is supposed to help with weight loss but how does one get good sleep? I went to bed early (before 10:30) for me last night but woke up about four times and finally gave up and got up at 3:30 this morning.
8/3 133.5 Busy day, water fitness, defrosted freezer, met friends for dinner and went to see a live band. I’m tired.

Ahahahhaa love this. Definitely something I need to remind myself of more!

I'm late but I'm in! I did a round at the beginning of July but have been on holiday since. Holidays ended yesterday and I have to get back on track starting today. I swam pretty much every day while away but ate and drank way to much, so I managed to gain a few pounds

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 - holiday
7/28 - holiday
7/29 - 257.4
7/30 - 257....no exercise and not great eating yesterday...still off schedule with the 4 1/2 hrs time difference. I did drink quite a bit of water though, which is why I think I have a little loss today.
7/31 - 257...not a good day yesterday so I'm happy to not see a gain..yet.
8/01 - 258...another bad day of eating too much and no exercise. My routines are completely off, I'm not able to sleep at night and I can't seem to get back on track. I know I want and need to but I just can't seem to get it done
8/02 - 257
8/03 - 257...yesterday wasn't great again but it's my last day of excuses. I have an appointment later today to join a gym to get my booty back in gear!
8/04 - 255.4...stayed under calories yesterday and drank a decent amount of water. Joined a gym and went for my first workout last night
8/05 -
