JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 56

shunggie · October 2018

Can I say to anyone getting more than 10,000 steps that I am VERY impressed. I walked over 3.5 miles yesterday and didn't hit 10K. I see people hitting 20K and I feel tired! Congrats to you all.

Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53
This is my third round. I think the best part of this challenge is that in recording the weight every day with a comment, I talk myself down from the hype that comes with weighing myself every day. It’s so easy to have the scale affect my mood. This challenge reminds me that my goal for the 10 days is to lose 1.5 – 3 lbs and puts the scale—the ups, the downs, the lack of movement, the ups and downs…into perspective! Thanks everyone and good luck this round!

10/15 – 171 - Hopefully that means yesterday’s number wasn’t a fluke!
10/16 – 172 – High carb day yesterday & just within calories. My stomach is also a bit off.
10/17 - 173 - Short walk yesterday, missed the gym cause I was at the eye doctor.
10/18 - 172.5 - No gym or walk. Waiting for a package....and then it was raining. Did not eat well. Time to get back on track.
10/19 - 173 - Sigh. Hope this is just like the last 10 days...the up before the down. Exercised & walked yesterday, ate within goals.

Good to know! I missed your posts almost as much as I missed your dog

We will see you both in Round 57.

🎀 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.

🎀 10/19 - 178.2 - I went to bed at 9pm last night. I've been slowly decreasing the carb grams back to keto level this week and increasing the fat. Drinking my electrolytes. Sunday was 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Yesterday was 22g carbs, 18g net carbs. Also, getting back to 16/8 and 20/4 intermittent fasting. IF was not consistent daily while I worked on the project for my friend.

@tiabirdie56 It looks like getting back to Keto level low carbs is working great for you. Down 3.6 in 3 days. The sleep probably didn't hurt either. You're doing fantastic!

deepwoodslady · October 2018

@abowersgirl and @missm2 You ladies are killing it! I'm so inspired that I took a 40 minute walk in my brother's neighborhood after all, this evening. I had to go alone, and I'm not very familiar with the neighborhood, but it was crowded with houses compared to where I live which made me feel a bit safer. I absolutely love it when I am inspired by someone else's great progress! Nice job ladies!

Round 56 (10/15/18): SW 208.8# EW :
This round I'll concentrate on: more home cooking, less eating out.

HW 236.8#
SW 208.8#
CW 208.8#
GW 200#
UGW 150-175#

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15/ 208.8#. I found that 19 ounces of squash with a little butter and sugar is about 300 calories. Very filling and helped my stay under my calories.
10/16 207.6#. (-1.2) Started my day tired. Met someone for lunch, so I splurged. I stayed under my allotted calories for the day. 🤩
10/17 208.2# (0.6#) still down half a pound from the start. Not going to fret about it. Got some exercise in. Went over my allotted calories, but stayed under 2,000 so I'm good with that.
10/18 208.4# (0.2#) tried to drink more water today. I've been very bad about water and have only been drinking about half. 3rd day in a row for eating out.
10/19 208.8#. Back to my starting weight on Monday. BUT I am down 2.6# from last Friday! I am eating out for supper tonight. Planning on bringing my own homemade dressing though. Can't wait! Ate so much today. Completely went nuts. Felt terrible ALL day. 😖🤢🤯

Really want to meet my goal this time on the day of my final weigh-in. Last time I had a lot of sodium just before. Going to make sure to get to it! I'm determined!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15- 184.2- good thing this went back down. Weekend didn't go as well as it could have to be honest but I packed a really healthy lunch today and the day has been good so far! Will go to the gym to workout later in the day after my class. I'm a little behind on biochemistry due to my biology exam last week so will be catching up on that today until class starts.

10/16- 184.4- Not upset over this. I think it will be better tomorrow. I worked out yesterday. Won't be able to today. Have a lot of studying to do today.

10/17- 184.0- Yay. Hopefully I'll be 183.something tomorrow? I've been eating on the higher range of my calorie goal this past week so I'm going to try to eat on the lower side today and get a bunch studying done. So far so good.

10/18- 184.6- lol omg.

10/19- 185.0- okay. No. We're not doing this. I know the scale will probably be even higher tomorrow as well so I'm anticipating that but starting tomorrow we're going back to the previous week's meals because those gave me much better results. We're trying to get to at least 182. Here we go!

I didn’t care about not having the chips that were there. Today is normally a bit of a free day for me but I’m going to try my best to track everything, get my water and steps in

@SunnyB0126 Just dance those calories away!! Lol have a great time!!

@deepwoodslady as always you are so kind..I am so glad I could inspire you. To be honest I dont think I would be able to do this without this group. I thank everyone and each post for not making me feel alone and helping me go the distance. I have never done as well on my own. You are doing fantastic given all the obstacles you face, regardless of how slow this process might seem at times don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back for not giving up, be proud of what you have been capable of accomplishing rather then regretful for what you can't do and always stay the beautiful and positive. Never change Donna.

@sdelpapa Sending good vibes and healthy, healing thoughts your way for you and your baby. *hugs*

@ssssanaaaa you got this!

@heymossy glad to see you and your pup again..glad to hear you will be back for another round

10/18: 203.6 (+0.6), BF% = 16.7 (+0.1). Coming back to this board has been a process for me. I've been gone for 12 cycles or so, and it's been interesting. I battled sugar, I'm fighting for my mobility (potential knee replacement surgery), but most of all I struggled with shame. My addict behavior was in full-swing, I'm pretty sure I'm just below the "depression" threshold, and I'm prepping myself for the grieving process associated with my knee and how that will play out with basketball. I ate out at a FANTASTIC bbq place for lunch yesterday (stayed pretty keto-friendly with my half-rack of short ribs), and my wife brought me some lamb for dinner (with buffalo cauliflower, and spaghetti squash/mixed veggies). I've been half-a$$ing keto for the past 3 months, but I'm back in the saddle as of 10/14. If you read this far, PLEASE feel free to yell at me for being scarce/distant/completely disappearing. I'm not going to find it disheartening or unmotivating. I've missed you all terribly. I didn't feel like I deserved to be here. I'm trying to feel differently about it right now.

10/19: 202.2 (-1.4), BF% = 16.6 (-0.1). Sorry for the late post. Pretty much depressed most of the day (my Rotating Day Off... every other Friday). Just felt crappy. No one wants to give me what I want regarding my knee: a choice. Doctors all tell me that if they just saw my x-rays, they would say it's an absolute "yes" regarding knee replacement surgery. But they see me, and my age (NOT THAT YOUNG), and they shut it down completely. I'm not even sure what I would do if someone actually gave me a choice. I'm not some freak that thinks he knows more than medical doctors do. But they don't know my pain. Or my heart. Food yesterday was great, except my wife bought some Big League Chew (grape), and I had a nostalgic binge on gum. Despite my day today, I also went to the gym with my wife to lift weights.

Ok, I was sick through the previous challenge so there were ups and downs... Now I'm feeling better and back to eating more and exercise. But I still cannot control my diet. However, I really have concrete goals for this challenge. I want to be 83 kg (182.9 lbs) at the end of the challenge.

10/13 - 84.1 kg (185.4 lbs)
10/14 - 84.9 kg (187.1 lbs)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 85.3 kg (188 lbs)
Very bad way to start... I ate much more than when I was sick at the previous challenge, even I ate a vegetarian burger and chips (*facepalm*). At least I don't let myself to drink alcohol. Still, I don't think this is my real weight, I hope it's less than this.
10/16 - 85.1 kg (187.6 lbs)
Ok, going down better than nothing. Yesterday I ate enough not less not much just enough and nutritious. But I should eat less to lose weight. I still don't log my food, but I'm sure it was more than 1200 cal. I think I should start to log today, let's have a try.
10/17 - 84.1 kg (185.4 lbs)
I'm not sure what's going on. But I logged my food yesterday (after a long time) and ate about 1200-1300 cals and burned some cals at the gym and walked 15k steps. But still, I cannot trust the numbers, is my scale broken?
10/18 - 84.9 kg (187.1 lbs) (Before bathroom weight)
Yesterday I was stressed and PMS so I wanted to eat junk food and I did. However, I feel bad and went to the gym and worked hard. Also again, I logged my food, I took too many calories but still OK with that. I'm getting better.
10/19 - 84.9 kg (187.1 lbs)
Yesterday, I ate pasta for dinner and I was really full. Other than, everything was good, I logged my foods and that was ok.
10/20 - 84.5 kg (186.2 lbs)
Yesterday I was feeling sad and stressed, I didn't find a way to deal with those feelings and ate a chocolate bar. Otherwise, I had been logging my food until the chocolate and I was doing well.
