JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 55

rainykatie · October 2018

OSW: 212 (Sept 2017)
FGW: 170
10/5: 194.6
10/6: 194 - I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in a while. I've been exercising outdoors all summer, but yesterday it rained. It actually felt good to work out inside! A change is good sometimes.
10/7: 194.6 I'm feeling a little bloated today so not surprised there has been no drop. I did pretty good yesterday with my eating and logging, but before dinner I was hungry and did some snacking on pretzels and hummus. I did get out for a long horseback ride and hike (i get off my horse and walk up all the steep hills) so exercise goal is a big check for yesterday. Today my goal is to stick to my calorie goal and fit in yoga and a jog.
10/8: 194.8. Trying not to be discouraged. I had a pretty good weekend as far as weekends go. I logged my food, wasn't as austere as I had hoped, but didn't go over either day. Yesterday I went to the beach for a run with my 6 year old. We did 2 miles, he's got so much energy! 6 year olds don't like jogging as it's boring, so we pick landmarks ahead (logs, piles of seaweed) to race to. It's like full on sprints! My legs are sore and we had fun together. A great day. Monday is here and I've got gym plans and a healthy lunch packed. Here we go.

@Bendiz _ Congrats on entering into the 160's. Awesome job!

@SunnyB0126 - Typo on you October 8th weight?

@quiltingjane - Congrats on your new low weight of 130.0 Wowza! The Keto lifestyle really works and I too am enjoying it! Your journey is so inspiring!

@AJB1014 - For my home and office desk I use a Pioneer Woman glass (quart size) water bottle with a metal lid and an included straw. I don't know if you call it a "bottle" exactly. It is actually like a mason jar. I purchased mine at Walmart. I didn't want plastic either because of my cancer history. I have even steered away from the BPA free plastic water bottles because water stays in the containers long enough to cause a concern for me. This would not be something you could take on a run or to the gym. More for home and desk.

10/05 - 174.8
10/06 - 174.6
10/07 - 174.6
10/08 - 174.8 Dinner out. Kept good portions. Took most of it home to give away because it had too many carbs. However, I caved in on a cheesecake dessert. On this keto diet the cheesecake is actually a better choice so while I was a bit over on the carbs overall, the whole day ended in maintenance carbs and calories. So I am satisfied. Pushing water today. I am also agreeing with @quiltingjaine about the sugar (which, of course, was in the cheesecake). I will be diligent today.

Round 55
10/05 153

I had spaghetti for the first time in months last night. I have been avoiding pasta. I am beginning to realize that I can have things I want, in moderation. As long as I eat well most of the time, and control my portions, then I will continue to have great progress.
10/06 153 I failed to mention yesterday that I tried a new workout Thursday. I am still sore, in areas that I've never been sore before. Needed to step up my routine, and it was tough! Found it on fitness blender on YouTube if anyone wants to try it out, but will fair warn you it was tough for me. I plan to do it a few days per week.
10/07 153 Going to work extra hard this coming week on keeping my carbs and sugar under because I will be going away to stay with my sister next weekend. I know there will be lots of temptation! I know I will not totally ruin it though because my willpower is so much stronger now.
10/08 152.5 😊 I weighed after my walk though. I was way under on calories yesterday, but WHAT I ate wasnt healthy.

Round 54: +1 lb

OSW: 256.2
RGW: 255
UGW: 150

Day/Weight/Comment:
10/05 - 257.2 - Starting round #55, 1 lb up. This is sooooo why I need something like this for accountability. I used a visit from friends as a reason to just "wing it". I really have to stay on board for the loss to happen.
10/06 - 257.2 - no change. Heavy dinner will do that to ya. I need to make time for my own meal prep!
10/07 - 256.8 - Yay!! I'll take any loss

But....I didn't stick to plan last night & I know it takes 2 days for any slip-ups to make it onto my scale (weird, huh?!)
10/08 - 256.8 - Slow & easy does it I guess. 1.8 to go this round and 6 days to do it. I can do this!

mskanakana · October 2018

I’m 5’3” and 43.
Round 54 (my round 1) SW187 FW183.4
Round 55 (my round 2) SW 183 my goal for this round is 179

10/5 183.4 whew, I was afraid I was up! I had a busy few days and logged food, but didn’t check in here. Been doing a good job of keeping calories and carbs down - until my mom brought over pumpkin pie last night. Carbs and sweets are my downfall. Today I’m not working out as it is my rest day but planning to keep active and keep calories way down as the weekend is coming!

10/6 182 and so happy to see this downward trend. My exercise class was canceled this morning so now I’m trying to find something to do. Probably will end up walking the dog but was hoping for a more intense and full body workout. Tomorrow is going to be a major test as we have a birthday party and my favorite cherry cake will be served. So I’ll just have to plan for it.

10/7 182 this morning. Today hasn’t been a good eating day as I went to a birthday party. I skipped breakfast in preparation. I filled 3/4 of my plate with veggies and the rest was a chicken potato dish. Then the cake and, yes, a second piece of cake. Here’s the thing: delicious, but after the forth bite it was just too sweet. Did that make me stop? No. And I need to figure out why. Has anyone else figured this out? Now I’ve crashed on the couch and had to take a short nap. Sugar...who invented this stuff anyway?!!

10/8 184.6 ugh. So disappointed in myself. Yesterday’s birthday feast has already caught up to me. I both went to bed and woke up feeling like crap. Maybe it’s a good reminder to lay off the sugar. Im seriously going to think of it as a drug and that I’m addicted to it - once I have a taste I can’t seem to stop from yet another slice of cake. I even did the whole “gotta even it out” from the remaining cake thing. I’m low carb-ing it today in hopes it brings me back down. Had a great workout this morning. Fingers crossed!

sue_01 · October 2018

10/05- I'm struggling, but I keep trying. I have been battling with a lot of swelling again and hair loss from Radiation.
10/06- our family had an early Thanksgiving dinner, I only ate half. of the food on my plate and with desert I was full. Took the rest home.
10/07- Planning meals for next week, goal more exercise.
10/08- This is a hard challenge for me, gave up bread, potatoes, noodles, I have been eating to much bread since I had surgery eating more fruits and vegetables, going for a long walk.

So bummed that my scale is gone up but it was almost instantaneous after the break and then again after the surgery. I’m clearly retaining fluids (massive swelling) even though I’ve been walking each day (quite a lot actually) and watching what I ate.

I’ve been told it’s not good to try to lose weight after surgery, but at this point with several pounds more on, I’m gonna go ahead and go back in and diet to get back to at least 161.

I worked so hard to get from 165 to 157.8 that this has been really tough to handle.

I hope you’re all doing well.

I'm a mother of 3 trying to get in shape and be a positive role model for my kids. Feel free to add me to your friends list so we can support each other!

10/08: 247.4 - I ate one fast food meal yesterday and it used up all of my calories. I'm so glad I don't eat out much.

You're on a important mission, LonniJay! We can keep the fast food carbs and calories down by skipping the fries and buns with burgers, removing the skin from fried chicken, dumping tacos out of their shells, just being careful about what we eat. At one stop over the weekend, I said "no fries," but got them anyway. I gave the fries away. Sometimes, we have to remind ourselves, "I'm in charge!" Get bossy with yourself! It can be fun!

Enjoy your 3 children. What a blessing!
