JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 56

Been limited lately about what I can eat (an "eat what I have" situation) but I'm hoping to go shopping tomorrow for some healthier options. Maybe do some Skinny Taste recipes!

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for two rounds. Round 53 was my 50 birthday celebrations that upped my weight for a few days.

I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 149.4 Head back in the game after this maintenance trend since round 53. I do feel really good at this weight, but would like to drop a little bit more before I call it official. I don't want my maintenance to fluctuate so close to the next decade!!
10/16 DNW I had a meeting with my staff yesterday and they surprised me with a feast of homemade food, so pretty much threw in the towel as I had to fully indulge and appreciate the love that was given through their food. Scared to step on the scale, only the second time this has happened on this journey. I feel so bloated today, but such is life. I plan on a today being a great day!
10/17 150.6 Did really well yesterday, this is the fallout from the weigh in I skipped. I am pre tracking my food today, walking the hill, drinking at least 12 of my big 14 oz glasses of water today, and practicing gratitude.
Looking to get out of maintenance to lose these last 10 or so lbs. My body feels good except for the inevitable AM bloat from eating carbs I think. Planned my day based on hitting my protein goals first.

10/18 148.8 Yay! Pretracking works, driniking lots of water works! got in about 98 oz yesterday, which is not quite the lofty goal I set but had me consciously drinking more and often. Only downside is dreams at night of having to pee and getting up too many times. But I'll take this lower number in exchange anyday! Plan on repeating the plan today, with a mini goal of getting to 147.xx this round. Have a great day everyone!

10/15 70kg oh wow, but then, i didn't have dinner yesterday. Went boxing in the morning, then for brunch, where we started drinking, ended up far too drunk and in bed by about 9.30pm... So this weight is after a very long sleep, let's see what tomorrow brings.
I'm off this week, which means I'll be able to exercise more, but also have to make mors of an effort to get my steps done. Today is a hung over rest day.
10/16 71kg - to be expected. I felt very sorry for myself yesterday and ended up not logging after lunch. I had loads of snacks in the eve but at least made it out for a walk to get my steps in despite being very sore from Sunday's boxing. Today started well, off work, so had a lie in, did some yoga befor weighing and breakfst and will either run or go boxing again tonight.
10/17 71kg still. Under cals yesterday, but quite a bit of exercise, however my run wasn't very successful. I stopped and walked after around 20mins, but went boxing in the eve - I think this is becoming an addiction... While I don't log boxing cals, I managed to get quite a few from the long walk and running a few errands. Also did Yoga in the morning and will get ready for day 2 now.

10/18 - 71kg still but I know why. Not going to work this week means I have to put extra effort in to make my step goals, which I didn't yesterday. It was also a rest day, but I ate like it was a very busy work out day, I just wanted things all afternoon and evening. Today, I'm posting very late, started with day 3 of adriene's yoga this morning, then went for a run this afternoon. It took quite a while to get into it, I haven't run as much as I wanted cos I'm so hooked on boxing these days. It really showed me how different muscle groups are used on different work outs. While I feel i'm making progress boxing and with the drills, running wasn't very good two days ago and still quite stiff today. I need to balance workouts more.
My motivation to log is a bit low, but this group is keeping me accountable.

10/15 —128.8— pasta yesterday & early morning weigh in 😐

10/16 —129.0— went slightly over in carbs yesterday, had cravings like no other! Today’s weigh in is at 4:30am, 12-hour hospital shift ahead of me, so no surprise.. hope it starts to go down the rest of the week.🤞🏼

10/17 —128.8— happy to see it go down a bit, but today was another early wake up and my body is sore from yesterday. Rest of the week I get to relax more😊

10/18 —127.4— This seems to be the pattern every week.. slowly going up Sunday to Wednesday and then a sudden drop when I can sleep good!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/15 - 180.2 - Still tired lol. 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Last night I thought I would have a good report on carb intake, then I remembered the bread and butter that I ate with my DGD, smh. I have some reading to do on the last thread.
10/16 - 181.6 - I have been neglecting my electrolytes. Sodium and potassium have been very low for the past 2 weeks. Probably also contributing to my tiredness. Carbs were higher than 25g yesterday, but I can go as high as 50g without a problem. So, the plan is electrolytes twice a day until my body adjusts.
10/17 - 179.8 - Electrolytes X 2✔ 10 hours of sleep?!✔✔ That NEVER happens. Still tired though, lol. Inadvertently, I did a sort of egg fast. My first meal, I ate 2 boiled eggs that were sitting in the fridge with some cheddar cheese. I wasn't in the mood for the dinner that I prepared, so my second meal was an omelette filled with spinach and arugula.

10/18 - Scale weight was all over the place this morning. Started with 172, ten times! Ended with 180.2, three times. Other numbers in between. Hopeful that it will settle tomorrow.

10/15--- not sure because I did not weigh myself on this day
10/16--- 296.8 I know this because Tuesday's are my weigh in days for another challenge
10/17--- 297.1 I had fried fish the night before so this could be why I'm up a little bit
10/18--- 297.7 I'm ok with this because I've had too much sodium the last couple of days. I worked out this morning and will drink lots of water today.

Hello, I just found this board. Would love to join even if I'm late to the party. I could use the help in getting to goal. I'm giving myself 5 lb increments to get to goal. I am hoping this group will help me stay accountable.
Let's get started . CW is 158.3, my GW is 153. Let's see how this goes.
10/10 158.3
10/12 156.9
10/15 156.7
being extra mindful of after work/after dinner snacking. Am particularly glad since i am down .2 from after a weekend away. That's a big win for me.
10/16 157.9 totally my fault I thought I had picked healthier foods that day and then did the calculations after and realized the error of my ways. Good reminder
10/17 157.1 I made extra careful choices and drank more water. Rest of the week will be a challenge as i have several business meetings over dinners and lunches. But mindfulness will be my watchword!
10/18 156.7 I did make good choices after all
