JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 57

FarmerCarla · October 2018

ROUND 57 (Round 4 for me)
5’5” 65 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Beginning second month of Keto WOE and impressed with decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain. Yay!
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories.
Round 55 – Finished at 170.0 (1.8 lb. loss)
Round 56 – Finished at 165.2 (4 lb. loss)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 165.6 Back for a new round! Hoorah! My weight is a little up, but I did what I needed to do, so it’ll come down soon. Yesterday was raining, so Thor and I didn’t get in a walk, but I did a Chalean Extreme workout. I must have done it correctly, because it was hard, as Chalean says it should be. Today, I’ll spend most of the day playing cards with friends (and watching calories).
10/26 165.0 Thor and I got in our 4 miles this morning. I’m amazed at how much his fitness is improving. We have a one acre yard, but he spends a lot of time in the house and only runs when cows, donkeys, or strangers are at the fence or an unwelcome small animal is in his yard. This walk is good for both of us! I have concerts with my gospel group this weekend, one this evening, two tomorrow, and two Sunday. All our songs are choreographed, so we get a little exercise. We carry our own equipment and set up our sound, too. No hikes with Thor this weekend, but four of us in the group are watching what we eat. We will hold each other accountable.
10/27 165.6 Early morning departure for weekend concert engagements. A church provided lunch, but for the low-carbers in our group, we could only eat salad (well, I took 2 bites of cake). Anyway, we stopped at Dairy Queen for protein later. For our evening meal, I split a grilled salmon entree and delicious spinach/broccoli casserole with one of our ladies. I thought I would be able to get a Diet Dr. Pepper or Coke Zero from the vending machine at the hotel, but no such luck. My Zevia sodas were locked in the bus, and, yielding to my caffeine habit, I drank a full sugar Coke. That's my big confession for the weekend.
10/28 No scale. Again, I allowed myself two bites of cake and a little piece of watermelon and cantaloupe at the church that provided lunch. No exercise, either day, other than performing and setting up equipment. It was an encouraging, enjoyable weekend of presenting our songs and testimonies in accordance with our theme this year of “Sharing Jesus With Urgency!” Only eleven days before we leave on our 10-day singing tour, and sticking to our dietary goals will be a challenge for the four of us losing weight.
10/29 166.0 A little gain, but I still hope to show a loss this round. Thor and I only walked 3 miles this morning, because the Morton’s Neuroma was hurting my foot. I wore new hiking books and a metatarsal pad, but I suspect the pad needed to be moved further to the right on my foot. I’ll continue to experiment.

@FarmerCarla yes, thank you! It was a wonderful day. I've been at this long enough to know that sometimes you have to roll with the scale and not let it own you. It's great that you and Thor have such a good walking routine!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

10/25 131.0 Met my friend Amy at the gym yesterday did 20 minutes on the treadmill and 2 1/2 minutes on the elliptical. I know that’s not much, but the gym is remodeling and have no ladies room and I really needed one. I hadn’t been on the elliptical for probably three years and it’s been almost 2 since I last did the treadmill except a few days last month when Amy and I started doing this together. Searched out my HRM and need to update the settings- the last time I used it I weighed 174!
10/26 131.0 Met Amy at the gym yesterday. Guild meeting last night and I didn’t snack on ANY of the goodies available. I didn’t even look at them!
10/27 130.5 Dinner at friends last night. Pork ribs and roasted Brussels sprouts. Had 1 adult beverage. Today my sewing friends are coming over. I’m making a keto casserole and more Brussels sprouts! Also Cream Cheese Fudge, another keto recipe.
10/28 130.5 Was busy yesterday getting ready for sewing friends so didn’t eat until almost 2PM. They left after 6 and DH was at a card game. My stomach started to growl at 8:30 so I reheated a little of the leftover. I hate eating that late but, as it turned out, we went out late and I didn’t go to bed until 2AM.
10/29 130.5 I had the worst Charlie Horse in my right calf and foot yesterday. It took a few minutes for Carl to break it up and it was so stressful I was shaking after. Today I have residual pain. Going to meet my friend at the gym at 2 with my new HR monitor. I didn’t know Amazon delivered on Sundays!

SW: 159.6

Round 57: My 24th round!!
House guests this whole round & wedding festivities.
Goal: remain in the 150’s! & stop eating out!

10/25 159.6
10/26 159.8
10/27 160.4 Doing the best I can. All will be fine in the long run.
10/28 150.2 (typed wrong 160.2)

10/29 157.6Back to my regular way of eating and exercising was rewarded with a drop in water weight. I am vastly relieved. It is clear to me that I can’t get too busy. And I can’t eat out. And house guest & weddings are tricky!

I also noticed that I actually did not feel good when I was over eating and eating out. So rather than feeling like I can’t eat out anything I don’t want to yet because it doesn’t make me feel good.

Lesson learned:
never stop tracking/posting (when I really was so embarrassed to)!

5'-1"

Goals:10,000 steps a day. Lift every other day. Meet calorie goals with mostly nutrient rich foods.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 - 145. Excited to be back for another challenge! I've been busy working, eating and then gaining back some weight for the past few rounds. Getting back on track now. I have continued to lift weights and meet step goals, so not all has been lost during the missed rounds. I started with 15 pounds on all of my lifts and a few of them have progressed to over 100 pounds now. It's kind of fun to see those bigger plates on the bar.
10/26 - 144. Nearly 15,000 steps yesterday, plus weight lifting and stayed a touch under my calorie goal. I swear I would have grazed my way around the house last night and doubled my calorie consumption if it wasn't for being back in this challenge. Thank you everyone for being here!
10/27 - 143. Step and calorie goals achieved yesterday. I took measurements this morning and was surprised to see that although I happened to be the exact same weight as I was last time I measured in September, every measurement (except my calves) was smaller. I know this has happened to others, but figured it was a phenomenon reserved for people who exercise a lot more intensely than I do. Seeing those smaller measurements this morning made me so happy!
10/28 - 144. I really thought that I posted this yesterday, I must have forgotten to click "post reply." Restaurant dinner on Saturday night. Ate about half of the portion, but likely still high on calories. Got home from the event at 11 pm and got that exercise in.
10/29 - 143. Lazy day at home, except for the normal weekend errands. Nice to have a weekend with only few activities. Step and calorie goals met. I can't figure out why my fitbit gave me 1000+ activity calories yesterday. It seems way too high for a day where all my activity came from housework and errands.

10/24 148.4 lunch time walk, cardio at the gym, 10k steps, ate healthy, two glasses of wine and one dark chocolate treat

10/25 147.0 ??? Today is a long day with after school workshops for the parents. We'll be ordering dinner. Persian food is one of my favorites. 12 hour work day - 11k steps

10/26 150 Hmmm. I expected to be a little higher than yesterday but not this much. I'll drink lots of water and see where this goes tomorrow. I won't let this bump lead me into a downward spiral like it did last round. I actually ended the last round not far from where I started, so I could have lost weight by sticking it out.

10/27 149.2 Weight after breakfast because I forgot.
Great workout with my trainer today. My Physical Therapist said not to work on biceps, but I feel that listening to my her is contributing to my freezing shoulder. I'm going to trust my personal trainer to know how to help me exercise without further injuring my shoulder. Concert tonight at the Hollywood Bowl with a picnic dinner - I can't wait and will be making healthy choices so that I can splurge a little with my beverage.

10/28 150 Had a great time last night. Time to chug the water. Food prep day

This is my fourth 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. Sometimes, anyway. I have to say I still got frustrated with just 0.5 loss last challenge in 10 days. But still, noting that I lost 4 lbs last challenge, I did sort of maintain perspective! Slow and steady wins the race! We can do this!!

10/25 171.5 -- This is so frustrating. Yesterday walked for an hour, hour strength class at YMCA, hour of zumba. Finished day with 1000+ calorie deficit. Weighed in a pound heavier. Everyday I'm hoping for the big whoosh....and instead it's up 1 or 2 lbs and then down 1/2. Oh well. I feel good. I'm not starving. My pants fit.

10/26 168.5 -- I think this might be the real whoosh....although yesterday a couple hours after eating bacon and fathead pizza for lunch I got queasy and just couldn't fathom dinner, so was well under calories. 15000 steps yesterday including a walk and zumba. Also did water aerobics. Hoping this number sticks.

10/27 168 -- So excited to be in a new decade that I forgot to post it yesterday! Queasiness was gone yesterday. Hour walk and water aerobics. Went out to Chinese restaurant for late lunch. Skipped the rice and had spicy chicken and veggie stir fry and pea greens. Then...just cheese sticks and peanuts for dinner because I went with my son (who plays in band) to the football game.

10/28 168.5 -- I'm pleased with this. Got up yesterday, went to zumba, did a moderately fast walk for an hour to collect extra calories. Big egg scramble for lunch and then went to a costume cocktail party with my husband and stuck to the pulled pork & chicken, no bun, and brie and assorted dips on veggies. My husband and I then shared 3 mini cupcake sized desserts. Enjoyed two glasses of red wine. Seems like my choices worked ok!

10/29 168

Ate within calories, including guestimate of snacks at Costco. Took a long walk. 12000+ steps.

No more upwards fluctuations due to bad eating. I want a steady decline this time. I can't just dance around this number. I did that ten pounds ago and I hated it.

10/25- 184.7- Glad it didn't go up honestly. I did maintenance calories yesterday.

Female, 5ft. 6 in.
Age 54

I’m getting really close to maintenance weight. However, with the holidays coming up, I’d like to drop a few more pounds to give me some breathing room when I inevitably eat and drink too much.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 - 146.5 - I'm happy I didn't have a bump up from yesterday.
10/26 - 146.5 - 3 days at the same weight is very unusual for me. I'm glad I didn't bounce up before the weekend!
10/27 - 147 - Well, here's the bounce. I had half a philly chicken gyro for supper last night and although I ate below maintenance for the day, I'm sure that sandwich had plenty of sodium. No regrets though, it was delicious and we only get carry out food a couple times a month. Back to more healthy eating for the rest of the weekend.
10/28 - 146.5 - We had tilapia and green beans last night and I passed on the mashed potatoes. My husband made no-bake cookies though and I had to have a half cookie. I will probably cave and have another one today, but he only makes them a couple times a year.
10/29 - 146.5 - I had a work conference today and ate out for lunch. I'm sure I'll have another bump up from the sodium. I'm eating out again tomorrow and will try to keep the choices a little healthier. This has been a bumpy week for me with all the extra restaurant food and cookies. I'm glad I'm in this thread, otherwise I may have gone overboard with all the food.

Continuing to drink the cucumber/parsley/lemon infusion, love the taste!

I agree. The parsley lemon cucumber water tastes pretty good. I also make it into a hot tea. However, I agree with @tiabirdie56 - The parsley water alone is an aquired taste. Unfortunately, I am already getting used to the taste of parsley which means I have been traveling and eating too much. However, as long as my DB stays okay, I will be home for most of the rest of this challenge. Next challenge, however, there is some travel again. I've got to learn to get better at this!

Kres567 · October 2018

@abowersgirl - good job this weekend! That’s a great loss! Weekends are so tough to stay on track - way to go!

Day/Weight/Comment:

10/25 - 179.2 ….. I will have to make my starting weight my last weigh-in though I'm sure it is up from the travel. I can feel the horrible bloat and the sickness in my stomach. Too many carbs.

10/26 – 181.2….. Well. There it is. Yikes!!!! Glad to be home and back to routine. I have my work cut out for me, but I got this.

10/27 – 178.4….. Whoosh! Thanks Tish for that triple threat drink recipe. I knew I’d have to pull out all the stops. Wow! Nearly 3 pounds lost overnight!

10/28 - 177.0 ….. Whoosh again! Another 1.4 pounds of bloat down after drinking more of the triple threat debloating water yesterday. It’s still not completely gone so I will drink more (and make more) today. I’m down 4.2 pounds in 2 days so it’s helping a lot. I feel SO much BETTER, but I still have a bit of the round pregnant look. It used to look good on me, I would glow with that baby inside. Now, however, no baby and a little ridiculous looking for a 58 year old. So away it is going with the parsley lemon & cucumber water.

10/29 - 177.0 ….. Okay, I guess I’m down to the actual travel fat gain and not just water bloat. I continued to sip on the triple threat water today so I wouldn’t waste it in the fridge, however, now the real work starts. A friend is visiting today, so not a lot of opportunity for movement, but I’ve been sticking to my food plan pretty good. Have a great week everyone!

Weigh In/Comments:
10/25 - steps 11,000 trying to get 10,000+, my exercise is improving a lot. Plus the weight is starting to come off.
10/26 - 3rd day of exercising , new exercises that I could not do from my surgery, 7 months ago feels so good.
10/27- Rest day/ shopping / Family Birthday
10/28 - I had a rough day, lots of swelling around my eye, I think it is caused because I'm not use to sleeping on that side, it is near where I had surgery. If it is like that tomorrow I will get it checked by our family doctor.
10/29 -Worked on getting my steps back up 10,000+ day 1-complete.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25: 195.7 (17,646 steps). Almost 13k steps at the time of writing this. Will go on a run after dinner. Did an amazing upper body workout. Day 5 of 30 days of yoga. Food isn’t so great today, though i will be under if I count my exercise calories.
10/26: 194.7! (9,455) Feels nice, aside from my right pec and glute being sore. Will have to take an epsom salt bath sometime today. I also had a hell of a time falling asleep. My upper spine really hurt. Hoping to make better food choices today and continue to see a downward trend. I will add steps the next day.
10/27 194.3! Today is homework and studying for my kinesiology midterm on Monday. Will try to get my steps in, but it might be hard.
10/28 194.3. Nice. Another study/homework day, but I’m determined to get all of my steps in today.

I'm in again too!
Last round was not a good one for me. I was not able to complete it. But this time I want to stay consistent! This will be my fourth round. I have ordered my Fitbit and waiting to get my hands on it! (I have a way too sedentary lifestyle)

Also planned to set mini goals from now on and try to acheive it in order to stay in track! My first mini goal for now is to reach 75kg before Nov 1st!

28yrs/F/5'1
HW : 80kg
SW : 78kg
CW : 76kg
GW for this round : 75kg (before Nov 1st)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 - 76kg Taking it slow and steady. If my scale was not moving down as I expect it to be, I am not gonna get discouraged this time! Because last round I gave up due to this reason!
10/26 - 76kg. No worries! At least the scale didn't move up!
10/27 - 75.7kg scale didn't move from 76kg for a while. So happy with today's reading! Made an initiative from yesterday to eat dinner at least 2 hours before going to bed. But still got hungry when I went to bed and so had to eat some biscuits!

10/28 - 75.5kg Followed the same like the previous day and I think it works!
10/29 - 75.8kg. Expected this! It was Sunday and I went a lil over my calories.
10/30 - 75.5kg back again! Weekdays normal routine so came back to where I was! We try so hard to get those scales to move down but a little treat or a holiday or a weekend or whatever occasion may be, we eat a few extra calories with our mind saying "just today! I have been working hard these many days so I deserve it" and then woof all those hard works goes away and we go a little behind! This is what I learned this time, that I have been doing this mistake over and over again so that's why I am lagging back with my progress! Just one day will cost you three to four days of hard work again!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/30 - 244.5lb - well that was quick 😅 in fairness I had been holding water weight for most of last week and despite creating ample caloric deficit wasn’t seeing the scales budge so this loss is overdue. It surely helped that yesterday I managed over my 10,000 step goal, and was really on point with my diet. Today I will be trying to watch the sodium in what I’m eating,my body seems really susceptible to the “whoosh” effect and so I’m trying to find a way to help with the water retention.

Hmm my first challenge and I don’t think it’s working for me

weighing daily seems to be discouraging me because I’m still on plan but haven’t lost in 2 days and if I waited a week I wouldn’t have known I stayed the same weight lol

Could you do the 10 day weigh in only weighing at the start and the end? Maybe just keep a track day by day of what you’re doing, I myself am prone to water retention so it can take a few days and then it will drop off however I still like to weigh daily as I know it does come off.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 57
