Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 52

69 YO Texas Male
Round 52
Round 3 For Me Start Weight 284
Goal 274
Final Goal 190

9/5 - 284 lbs Up and down last challenge. Hit my goal 4 days in then went camping for five days and totally blew it. I cannot stay on this roller coaster and use getting off my routine as an excuse for return to terrible eating habits. Working on that through these challenges. Good stuff to keep me accountable. I almost didn't want to post anything as I am so disappointed for letting myself get so far off track these past few days. Key word here (ALMOST) I will stay accountable and keep working on it.

9/6 -279 (-5lbs) Well here comes the fluid drop. Good start to recovery from last week. Staying away from night snacking. My bad time as is with a lot of us it seems. Drinking lots of fluid today. Hate plain water so I go with Zero everything flavored water. Not bad.

9/7- 278 (-1lbs) Late getting to post today butHeading in the right direction again. Staying strict on my extreme low carb to get that hunger monster back in check. Evening snacking is still a problem for me. Seems to get the munchies every night and have to really work at not going for that snack. I would like to see that problem ease up and go away.

* Health!!! Focus on health!
* * 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. Hiking longer, steeper, faster...

9/08 71kg - holding steady, I'm sure last night's eating and drinking at a hen do will show in a couple of days - I went over cals, but difficult to say by how much. The hangover today will not make staying on track any easier, but I will try and maybe go for a long walk instead of the scheduled run.

8th round, woooho!
9/05 - 172.6 Same as yesterday Heading off to the gym now. Hope everyone has a great day

9/06 173.0 (+0.4) This "gain" is because I had to eat before weighing in (which I normally don't do). My boyfriend had to wake me up and literally feed me because my blood sugar was so low. Have to be super careful with my insulin dosages since I've lost so much weight. This is the first time this has happened

9/07 172.6 (-0.4) I’m happy as long as there isn’t a huge gain this round. I’ve been blessed with two awesome rounds in a row, so I’ll be happy with whatever Had an amazing workout today, so I’m hoping that it shows on the scale tomorrow 👊🏻

9/08 172.8 (+0.2) Ok, so it didn't show I ate well under my calories and I never eat back exercise calories. This will turn soon, just have to be a bit patient and stop second guessing myself

Day/Weight/Comment
9/5 151.2 What's working:
*Eating what I want, but consciously.
*Letting go of guilt.
*Staying active doing things I like instead of calling it "exercise"
*Focusing on myself instead of what needs to change outside of me
*Logging in here daily
*Realizing we are all the same, just doing the best we can with the tools we have
*Skipping meals- just because it's "lunch time" etc. doesn't mean I have to eat. Listening to my body.
9/6 151 I feel like something has shifted, and this is getting easier. NSV- finally got back out on my mountain bike yesterday for a nice hilly ride, taught my 16 yo son a new recipe that he cooked for dinner for the fam, got my DH out on the bike too. I can't wait to see the 140's and they are within reach!!!
9/7 152.2 Not worried about this I feel great! Another hilly ride, cooking with my son, and walked the dogs! Gearing up for a great weekend, seeing the grandbabies again tomorrow. Have a wonderful day everyone!

9/8 151.4 I had a good day yesterday, FINALLY getting my DH moving with me! It is so much easier when we are both working together, but I have learned to lead by example and not nag, suggest, hint, or ask him to get active/eat better/etc. This is the part about "focusing on myself instead of what needs to change outside of me". When I am taking better care of myself I want everyone around me to also do the same, but I know that everyone has their own limits and timelines and needs to come to their own conclusions. I cannot make someone motivated, but maybe instead inspire them by taking better care of myself. We went on a morning walk, not my usual hilly fast burn since he was with me, but I am happy to pull it back and slow my progress if it means he will come along! I spent the afternoon with my sis helping her prepare for her big annual Tapas party, peeling potatoes for patatas bravas, making albondigas, chopping fruit for sangria...great girl talk and wonderful to cook together since we never do! Today is the party, my plan is to have a protein breakfast then to fast (as difficult as that may be with all the yummy food) I think it is the safest plan to eliminate the stress eating and weight gain that will show up if I do otherwise! Got home from a busy day and my 16yo son was learning to make beef stroganoff with my DH, overall a win win day!
