Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 52

Round five for me. Sorry, I'm starting late but I'm back to work and things got a bit hectic as I was getting back into the routine of getting both myself and daughter ready in the mornings. However, I have been tracking my weight.
My goal for this round to get under 195lbs. Good luck everyone :-)

9/05 198lbs - up 0.5 from the last round ... maybe it's my body getting used to the exercise
9/06 197lbs - on my way down
9/07 194lbs - wow 3lbs down !!!... don't think it will stay ..but I'll take it, for now ...went swimming today. it always makes me see life in a better way.
9/08 194 - surprised I'm still at this number (but secretly very pleased)
9/09 195lbs knew it was going to happen
9/10 197 ..well that didn't last long, but I know that I've not been keeping up with my water... back to it!
9/11 195.5 lbs ..that'sbetter
9/12 195 lbs- didn't make the best eating choices today so I know I'll pay for it..water levels are suffering too. Need to sort my act out and focus on the bigger picture rather than giving in to temption

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 278 Glad I found this today.....My first round. I don't like posting my weight, hoping having to report will help me stick to it.
9/06 - 278.1 Did ok, yesterday. Wasn't sure of my actual weight 278.? Hopefully see it go down tomorrow.
9/07 - 277.5 Had a good walk yesterday!
9/08 - 277.6 Not bad, considering I did Happy Hour yesterday 🍸
9/09 - 279.2 Well, I’m not upset about the gain. I know I’m retaining water. Had more intake than out yesterday. Trying to up my water. Been tough, but I know I can do it. I WILL UP MY WATER INTAKE! 😛
9/10 - 279.2. Stayed the same weight, but had a good day yesterday. Not so great today, I’ll see when I get on the scale tomorrow 🤔
9/11 - 279.6 🤨
9/12 - 278.6 not sure how that happened. Attending a stressful training. Trying to not stress eat. Was happy to see a pound lighter 😃

Ready to start my third round. This is a great challenge program. One day at a time!

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.

9/8 275 (-3lbs) Ok just one pound away from my challenge go this round. Now to just keep the scale pointed in the right direction instead of up, down, up, down.......

9/9 274 (-1 lbs) Yeah Goal hit! Bittersweet as that was my last round goal which I attained and then broke, but I'll take it and hopefully now will continue to drop before the end of this challenge round. Once again during the next challenge round I will be away camping for four days. This time I am determined to NOT go crazy and off this protein diet. Hope you all are doing well this weekend on your challenge.

9/10 No Scale - Away from the house today. Still very much on track though throughout yesterday. Hopefully tommorw weigh in will show some good results. Still fighting the evening munchies. Tried some Bar-B-Que Pork sins last night. Not bad! No carbs but does have calories. Good if I'm going to have something.


9/11 274 (no change) Well my first mini plateau. I have been sticking to my routine and diet but the body has decided to take a break from losing for a few days. Now comes the time when I hold for a few days then the bigger drop comes of 2-2.5 lbs and then another holding period. Its just how my system deals with this. I expect to see a few more pounds drop before the end of this challenge. I have already hit my goal for this round so all is good for now. Probably need to start exercising again. That usually gets things moving along. I have to be careful because I tend to over do things and wind up either hurting myself or hating going to the gym. Easy does it.......

9/12 274 (No Change) Still on the plateau. Probably didn't help any by eating all those peanuts after dinner. Was not able to get online to post today until late this evening. Busy day at work and which helped since I had nothing but a protein bar all day. Dinner was light with Eggs and bacon so we will se what tomorrow brings. Still some time left to drop a few more before this challenge ends on Friday. Going away for the weekend again so we shall see if I can stay away from all the bad stuff I did last week when we were camping. So hard to stay with it on those getaway trips. Hope tomorrow morning weigh in will be better.

I used to use a Waist to Hip ratio calculator all the time. It is another valuable tool for weight loss. Waist to Height is also. I take my body measurements once a month. My numbers are not where I want them to be yet, but my Waist to Hip is now mid moderate health risk.

My waist to height ratio came out to .62 Take action. My waist to hip ratio came out to 1 High Risk for female. I have lost a lot of weight and inches in my waist and hips since starting my diet in January 2018. However, I still carry a belly that is clearly diabetic and still has a way to go. When looking up my last measurements to use for the charts (August 7, 2018) I noticed that my hip measurement and my waist measurement is exactly the same. I guess that makes me a SQUARE. Now.... back in my day (in the 1960's and 1970's) being a SQUARE was something you just didn't want to be (often you were made fun of if your were Square). So I guess that I will continue on this journey until I'm not a SQUARE anymore. Anyway, I sincerely thank you for the info. It will help me make goals that I hope to achieve for better health.

This is my first challenge! Excited to see all the posts/ideas.

Goals:
1) drink at least 10 cups of water
2) take a daily multivitamin
3) 10,000 steps
4) slowly increase activity

Mindset: I want to lose 50 pounds total, but since every big goal needs smaller goals, I'm going to try to think of it as losing 5 pounds 10 times. So I'm going to think in 5 lb increments and my goal will be to get to my next benchmark goal each time.

SW: 190.3

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 190.3 - well I just thought how yummy the baby carrots were that I just ate! On my way to adjusting my food thinking!
9/06 - 189.6 - did some reps with my hand weights yesterday and 45 min on elliptical. Slowly but surely...oh and also, I just ate homemade soup for dinner and I'm still hungry!!!
9/07 - 189.3 - about 30 min on the elliptical today - negatives - cheated with a few boneless wings...sigh; positives - good water intake, vitamins
9/08 - 188.9 - had lots of activity today - over 15,000 steps woohoo! Brought snacks with me, but treated myself for dinner to my favorite sorta cheat meal - sloppy joes with 90% lean ground beef, healthy life whole wheat buns, corn on the cob and baked beans; fair water intake - could have done better...
9/09 - 188.2 - did a 30 min circuit training workout this evening - I know I will feel it tomorrow! Still struggling to get all my water intake in...feeling hungry - workouts always do this to me...
9/10 - 188.2 (no change) - a little sore today from my circuit training workout yesterday, but not too bad because I started slow with a 30 min workout and modified most moves. Cut my grass for over an hour today and am going to try to do a longer workout tomorrow...
9/11 - 187.7 - yay!!! some progress! funny how seeing a few results can spur you on - worked out 60 min today, but I did eat back some of my exercise calories b/c I was sooooo hungry. Haven't figured out how to suppress post workout hunger even though I'm eating protein within the right window after.
9/12 - 187.2 - slowly but surely! - did 45 min of Leslie Sansone walking videos - didn't quite get my 10 cups of water...I have to figure out how to get more water intake earlier in the day
