Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 52

Thank you so much @GrandmaJackie for keeping these up and going!!

Goal for this round is to finally get under 250 (248 would be nice) and stay there.

Round 48: SW 257.4 EW 253.8 (-3.6)
Round 49: SW 253.8 EW 257.2 (+3.4)
Round 50: SW 257.2 EW 255.8 (-1.4)
Round 51: SW 255.8 EW 252.4 (-3.4)

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 251.4...100 oz of water, under calories and 35 min. walk.
9/06 - 251.4...100 oz of water, under calories and 80 mins. of walking.
9/07 - 251.4...125 oz of water, under calories by 7 and 25 min. walk. Drank extra water in an attempt to try and fill myself up because I was craving junk. Was able to stay away from the cake and cheesecake but ate a chocolate bar. Normally I would have broken down and eaten all of it.
9/08 - 252.4...66 oz of water, extremely over calories and a 60 min. walk. Yesterday was a planned off day, I still need them once a week or I would probably give up on everything. As time goes and I lose more I'm hoping to cut them back. On track again today though.
9/09 - 252.4
9/10 - 252.4 66 oz of water (was going to have more but my son had a bad night and I had to go to bed with him, super early) under calories and 58 mins. of walking. Hoping to see the numbers start going down again tomorrow.
9/11 - 251.4...100 oz of water, just under calories and 54 mins. of walking. Happy to see the number down again today. Still hoping to get under 250 this round.

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

9/09 172.6 (-0.2) Hahah, weight loss is weird. Yesterday was awesome. Saw some friends I hadn't seen in a long while and we had a great time. Stayed under my calorie goal, but could have done better on the carb intake.

9/10

9/11 172.1 (-0.5) Oh no, I forgot to report in yesterday 😱 My weight was 172.6 yesterday though. Just came home from the gym and my glutes are basically on fire. Cut back on the carb intake yesterday and it’s already making me lose weight.. Going to continue on a low/moderate carb intake, but it’s easy to slide out of it because carbs taste amazing 😂

Hot day coming up here, but beautiful and clear. It will be cold soon enough, so I'm enjoying the sun and heat. I put together a bag of clothes that no longer fit (and a few things that no longer make me happy) and I'll be taking those to a local women's shelter today or tomorrow. All good!

9/06 - 142 - 1136 - 10-day ave 1227
There's the bump I expected yesterday from Monday's splurge. My moving average is 141.2. All good.

9/07 - 140.8 - 1000 - 10-day ave 1198
I'm excited to see that zero, even with a big decimal! Going to a potluck this evening but we're taking a shrimp plate, so at least I can eat that. Have a great weekend, all!

9/08 - 141 - 1185 - 10-day ave 1218
I made a stab at entering calories from the potluck. Happily, there was plenty of food I could eat (I was afraid I'd get 2 pieces of shrimp and a few baby carrots!). But no, I was quite full by the end. I'm making the most of the weekend as things get crazy this week - teaching a new writing class, taking a new class, integrative doctor & dietitian appointments, on top of usual work (writing). I'm still debating buying a standing desk -- anyone here use one? I may just take my laptop to Office Depot and ask if I can stand there and type for a while to see if I like it.

9/09 - 141 - 1208 - 10-day ave 1231
I see this last pound is going to be tough to lose. That's ok - I'm just as stubborn.

9/10 - 140.6 - 1202 - 10-day ave 1229
Creeping down.... It's chilly and rainy here, so I'm off to the Y later to walk. I am looking forward to beautiful autumn days - October is my favorite month.

9/11 - 140.6 - 1254 - 10-day ave 1230
My Monday & Tuesday meal schedules are messed up for the next 6 weeks due to evening classes (taking one, teaching one). I'm trying to eat a big lunch to hold me until I get home around 9, then have some fruit, but last night I came home really hungry. Maybe I'll try a decent lunch and a light supper around 4:30. Another work in progress!

Round 51 End Weight = 146.2 (3.7 lbs lost)

Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs (June 18, 2018)
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)

Round 52 Goal: Reach the "normal" BMI weight range, 144.9 or under
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in weeks 7-8 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/day
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.

9/05 = 146.2 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday was a rest day in my 90 day challenge, much needed too! Today will be day 45 exercises and I had thought to get a short run in but my legs are giving me all the NOPES! So will have to wait another day for that. Only 2 more days left for this forecast-ed horrible heat wave, bring on Fall, I want the cooler weather It makes exercising so much easier and I love running in cool temps. I'm excited for this new round, welcome to the newbies and welcome back to everyone else...."Every day is a new chance to change your life."

9/06 = 145.9 (down .3 from yesterday) Super busy day yesterday and didn't get my workout in until after 8 pm. I had hoped it would've been cooler by then but I was still a super sweaty mess after. This one was a hard workout, but felt so accomplished after completing it. Today is day 46 of 90 (halfway completed!) and is yoga which I love. This morning I noticed that I am feeling lighter in spirits as well as lighter in weight, being overweight had really affected my moods. I'm so happy to be feeling happy again

9/07 - 146.6 (up .5 from yesterday) Annoying, but not discouraging. Just normal, weird scale fluctuations, I'm used to these by now, but I would like to see it going in the other direction Patience. I'll wait for the scale to catch up and continue on kicking *kitten* with my workouts and making healthy choices with my eating. I also track with a weigh trending site and it had my trending weight yesterday a 149.03 and today 148.79, so even when the scale fluctuated up today, my trend is that I am still losing weight. "It does not matter how slow you go as long as you do not stop."

9/08 = 146.6 (no change from yesterday) Super late weigh-in today, great sleep in and there is a chill in the air this morning, such a nice change! I swapped my workout days and took yesterday as a rest day, so I've got a good challenging workout scheduled for today instead. I've been really low on my water intake the last couple of days, which is not normal for me, so need to focus better on that today as well. I'm still hoping even with the scale fluctuations this week, to make my goal of being in the "normal" BMI range within the next few days. I need to drop 1.7 pounds this round to accomplish this, totally do-able! Have a great weekend, everyone!

9/ 09 = 146.2 (down .4 from yesterday) So, the scale has settled back to the number I started this round on. Now hopefully it will start dropping again! I completed day 48 of 90 exercises yesterday and will do day 49 today which will complete week 7. Excited to start week 8 on Monday, I want to get through this!!! 90 days is hard, I will be sticking to 30 day plans from now on I went clothes shopping yesterday to a store I shopped for summer clothes in back in June before I started losing weight. I was a size 10 on bottoms and a size large for tops then and yesterday I was a size 6 for bottoms and a size small for tops. Super happy with this progress! I only bought a couple of things though because I still have a bit more weight to lose and these won't fit for too long hopefully. I also scored a dress, at a discount store, for my 15th wedding anniversary in October, it's a gorgeous Michael Kors black dress, original price $110, marked down to $29 - Bananas! Love it when that happens

9/10 = 145.7 (down .5 from yesterday) Nice downward movement on the scale this morning! Lots of running around doing errands yesterday, but got my day 49 workout in, definitely felt stronger on some of the moves than when I did it earlier in the week (each week there are 2 new workouts that get done twice each that week + a yoga workout, and 2 rest days). I put a batch of chili in the slow cooker in the morning and was glad I did that because errands ran late and I was starving - the urge to say let's just eat out (i.e. something quick and junky) was strong but knowing I had something healthy and delicious ready as soon as we got home, helped me stay on track and eat as planned. However tonight we are going out to a nice dinner, so I'm mostly fasting today and doing OMAD to stay on track with my calories. This usually works fine for me, although higher restaurant sodium may cause a slight blip up on the scale tomorrow. I'm encouraged that I now feel totally comfortable going out to dinner at this stage of my weight loss journey. I'm no longer in the place where I think one meal off plan will derail my progress. "What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while."

9/11 = 145.1 (down .6 from yesterday) Very happy with this number after eating out last night! I had a green smoothie after my workout yesterday (I have a green smoothie everyday) and then fasted until dinner. My husband picked a Sushi/Ramen restaurant, so I was a little nervous about the sodium. But is was more an upscale/fusion restaurant than a take-away type of restaurant, so I think a little bit healthier. By the time dinner rolled around, I had already had 10 glasses of water, 2 more with dinner, so I think that helped. I ate what I wanted but just in smaller servings: pork belly bao, vegetable spring rolls, edamame in garlic butter, Korean bulgogi with rice, & a pear juice Margarita. A nice night. Today is day 51 of 90 which is a rest day in my exercise plan, but as long as the rain stays away or stays just a light drizzle I plan on getting in a short run.

9/11 202.2 Didn’t take as big of hit as I thought. Must be all the exercise I did on the weekend helped cover for that bag of M&M’s. I still can lose weight before this round is over. Did a really good job yesterday watching what I ate so there is hope... I do think this round won't see onederland.

Day/Weight/Comment

•9/5 - 182.8 - Gee, I thought I had posted this. My son called me for some reassurance concerning my DGD early this morning. He wasn't sure that she would be able to find her classroom. Kindergarten classes are at the very back end of the school. Parents cannot enter the school with the children. First child in elementary school parent jitters. His baby. Not quite 100 ozs of water yesterday, which is MUCH better than the last 4 or 5 days. I have a couple of homegrown cucumbers from a friend. I added some thin slices to my lemon water. I'm shedding water like crazy.
•9/6 - 181.8 - more cucumber today
•9/7 - 181.6
•9/8 - 180.4
•9/9 - 181.8 and 182.4 - concurrent increment battle? Lol. 180's do not want to let me go.
•9/10 - 180.8 - Here I go. I expect a little more back and forth before the next decade comes in.

•9/11 - 181.8 - Smh. My usual fluctuations.
