Round 51 (#15)

I typically don't set goals because I find myself sabotaging them. Stupid, I know, but it's true. Challenge goal:


8/26: 135.4, late dinner

8/27: 135.4, another late dinner

8/28: 134.6, picnic date with beer, spicy pan fried coconut chicken breast cutlets (Paleo and Keto friendly), roasted gold potatoes, red bell pepper, shallots, rosemary, and a hot Hatch chili (low cal and lower fat), and a salad of spinach, figs, strawberries, tomatoes, and raw almonds tossed with a tart vinaigrette (Paleo and low cal).

I love to cook and find it very rewarding to create dishes that are tasty and fit into most eating plans. My date leans more towards Paleo which is fine with me. The roasted potato dish was 1/3 vegetables and helped round out the meal to prevent overeating.

ROUND 9 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old –My name is Donna 5’ 5” Midwest USA



YARD BY YARD IS HARD……
INCH BY INCH IS A CINCH……

Day/Weight/Comment

8/26 – 179.0 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 21 Net Carbs. 1269 Calories In / 2197 Calories Out. 7,235 total steps. 3.06 total miles. 11/13 (250) fitbit steps.

8/27 - 178.4 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 15 Net Carbs. 907 Calories In / 2923 Calories Out. 13,420 total steps. 5.68 total miles. 13/13 (250) fitbit step hours. Intermittent fasted 16:8. Trying to keep a solid foot in the 170’s so I can be confident in reporting the weight into MFP.

8/28 - 177.4 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 13 Net Carbs. 1254 Calories In / 2594 Calories Out. 11,050 total steps. 4.67 total miles. 13/13 (250) fitbit step hours. Intermittent fasted 16:8. I had peanut butter for the 1st time since starting this keto/low carb journey in January. Delish!!!! To stay within my macros, I put it on 90 second keto bread I cut into 3 portions. I kept all my other meals low carb to accommodate. It was pure heaven! The Car show is tonight for the Grand Championship Overall Winner for the summer. I will try to keep my eating reasonable. I’m taking my son and his friend. This single widowed mother has got to fit some “guy” things in for my son. I loved it last time I took him too. This one is the best because all the previous winners come together to find the Champion of Champions. I am going to focus more on fun than food. My son gets way too much screen time (video games) so this will get him out and about too.

11th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’ Round 51 – SW 160.8 (a blip up from yesterday), GW lower 159’s
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128
Day/Weight/Comment
8/26, Sunday – 160.8 Last night was at our friends’ fiftieth wedding anniversary do – all 5 hrs of it. Fun but long and even though I was careful on the food, lots of extra salt and sugar. Hope this is mostly water weight but haven’t been all that careful this week so it may be payback.
8/27, Monday – 159.2 Maybe I can make it under 159 this time.
8/28, Tuesday – 159.2 Determined to sew myself a pair of pants today so I have something nice that really fits and in a color I like. I've sewn in the past but never pants for myself - I know there will be fitting to do but if I can successfully navigate that, it's a relatively easy sew.

-68.1 lbs in 970 days, 30 days until my 1,000th day!
(1 lb every 14.2 days on avg)_
-44.8 of them since Sept 27, 2017 (334 days)
(1 lb every 7.5 days on avg.)

* Micro changes in habits each week create magic!
* Daily exercise - even a mild stroll- makes a big difference...
** When you most feel like giving up, and you keep going, that’s when the scale really drops!
*** I had given up on dieting, and had forgotten completely how good it feels to be lighter. ****Everything is easier and pain free. A miracle.

8/27 160.2 BMI: 24.0 Trend: 160.4 Loss/wk: 1.0 Hiked big hills. No pain during or the next day. Amazing.

Got rid of clothes that are too big for me except some I love & *might* alter.

Went through more of my “thin clothes” & they all fit. Glad I didn’t give up on them. They made it easier to get rid of the things that are too big because they make that very clear. I will wear these until I decide on my final end weight. Then I might get some new items to wear with the others. Closet is *almost* to the point where everything in it is something I love & can wear now, as opposed to when I was heavy (pre-Marie Kondo) when it would take me forever to go through the closet to find one thing that did fit that I could wear. Never. Going. Back.

8/28 161 BMI 24.1 Trend 160.5, Loss/wk 1.90
I’m doing all I should be. This is the nature of the beast. I’m sure it will bounce back down. I could list about 5 possible reasons ... but why bother
I’m still down 5 lbs since the end of July. My best in a year, I’ll take it.

@tiabirdie56 - Congratulations on the loose clothes! That's so inspiring that you've gone down in size in just two weeks. (So, what's the word to use for this? If a person "out grows" clothes that are too small, would we "out shrink" clothes that are now too big? )

@MadisonMolly2017 - Congratulations to you too on the closet improvements and having a closet full of clothes that fit that you love. I dream of that day! I love watching your progress and the stats that you track.

@braewe - Oh yes - The power of perfectly baked cookies. So, so hard not to eat them all. You did great only having two and skipping the frosting.

@mthomas0228 - Thanks for the reminder to take measurements. I haven't taken measurements in years and will do it tonight.
