JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 57

quiltingjaine · October 2018

@FarmerCarla I would try that if I could lay flat. The cramp starts in my ankle so my foot is bent as if I’m wearing a high heel and quickly moves up the calf and my knee is bent so I can’t walk at all. I’m taking OTC potassium and magnesium twice a day but want the doctor to do blood work to see if I should be taking more.

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 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!
10/30 130.0
10/31 131.5 We spent the day out of town with friends and I hardly had any water. Had only a salad w/blue cheese dressing and a fajita hamburger (no bun.) OMAD

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!!

Day/Weight/Comment

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.
10/30 169 -- Here we go again. Assuming it's going to bounce up and down before dropping again. Took a hike instead of zumba and a walk. Only burned 250 calories and then went out to lunch. Had to make up for it with the elliptical later. Ended the day with 500 calories surplus, beyond MFP allotment.

10/31 168.5 50 minute walk before the dentist. 500 calorie surplus. 12,000 steps. Trying not to get too excited, as I'm probably going to bounce around!

@quiltingjaine, so good to see you! For me, something non-intuitive works for Charley horses. I flex my toes up toward my knee (the opposite of pointing them) as hard as I can and that seems to relax something for me. Before I knew this, I had a horrible day once where I had this low-level Charley horse for a couple of hours. It took me days to stop feeling the pull in that muscle. Awful! I hope you are able to figure something out soon!

10/30 Tuesday- 195.6 Fall break sent me into a spiral of bad decisions and I have been off the wagon for almost a month now. I gained 3.6lbs and I feel awful and bloated and need to get back on track. I really liked the accountability I had to myself when I participated in my first two rounds so I am back and ready to jump in. No waiting to round 58!

10/31 Halloween

I forgot to weigh this morning. It is a habit that I need to get back into along with checking my blood pressure. I stayed within calories yesterday but low on the water (another habit that needs improvement). My goal today is to stay withing my calorie range, drink 80oz and not binge on candy. I think I will walk the kids and let my hubby sit home and hand out candy. Although, I may have to fight him for that.

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)!

10/30 156.8BMI=23.5 Tummy felt thinner overnight - a nice surprise! I’m walking a ton.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 -78.6kg, I think I’m noticing a pattern here. I kind of stagnate or fluctuate down and up for a few days, and then drop suddenly and harshly. I think I like it! It sucks seeing the scales go up and up but rewarding when it finally drops to where it really should be, and I guess that’s why we track every day, to see these patterns

10/26 - 79.0kg, I ate over my calories by a lot yesterday. I regret it but it’s done! And not only did the scales go up, but I feel awful this morning. Lesson learned!
10/27 - 79.0kg, stayed under cals yesterday and drank loads of water!
10/28 - 78.7kg, happy to see this! 1200cals, plenty of water, happy days

10/29 - 78.5kg, very happy the scales continue to go down. It’s just good to know all of this is paying off and even if I don’t see immediate results physically, I can see them on the scales. I really do need to start exercising regularly though.
10/30 - 78kg, and the scales just keep going down! So pleased and so motivated!!
10/31 - 78kg, this was expected after the large drop I had yesterday!
11/01 - 77.5kg, weighed after going to the bathroom which doesn’t normally happen, so probably on the lower end of a fluctuation but super pleased regardless

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.
10/30 - 143, I think. My husband slept in this morning, so I dressed and weighed in the dark. I still hopped on the scale, but it was hard to read! Weight lifting yesterday, along with a short unplanned jog. I went on a walk during one of my son's activities. About halfway through, I realized I wasn't going to make it back to him before his class was over. I couldn't walk any faster and I was looping around a lake (turning back wouldn't have taken any less time), so I jogged about 10 minutes of what was intended to be a 45 minute walk and made back to the starting point even a little early. I ended up snacking in a very major way late last night, so it was an unimpressive end to an otherwise disciplined day.
10/31 - 144. Not surprising given the late night snacking 2 nights ago. Happy Halloween!

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.
10/29 194.3. Midterms. Got 83%.
10/30 194.3. Tried the witches’ brew frappuccino, not strong enough of a flavour, but still nice. I also found the only store in my town that sells passion tango tea (the superstore in the health food aisle) so now I can drink it! I have another midterm on the 7th, and I’m getting stressed lol.
10/31 194.3.Happy Halloween! At least I can say I’ve lost 1.6lbs this challenge lol. Will try to do a lower body workout and get back on track with the 30 days of yoga (Day 6)

@eminater, woot hoot congratulations my friend,

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.
10/30- Great day, still have a lot of swelling but I managed to do the treadmill. Still eating healthy.
10/31-Tried hard to get my steps in, because it was a busy day. But I did it.

@puttyputty, I flex my toes upwards and I get a cramp in my toes and arch😂😂😂 I can't win

5’3” and 43.
Round 54 (my round 1) SW187 FW183.4
Round 55 (my round 2) SW 183 FW 182
Round 56 (my round 3) SW 182 FW 182
Round 57 (my round 4) SW 182 GW 179

10/25 182 I just maintained last round but hoping to break down into the 170s for this round! Halloween candy is my weakness but I’m planning a few fasting days to help off set it all.

10/26 181.8 its a start in the right direction! Focus of the day: drinking enough water 💧

10/27 181.2 yay! I went to a yoga class last night. It was more of a meditation with long stretching positions using props like cushions and blocks for support. I think we did only 7 positions for the entire 1.5 hours and it was WONDERFUL. I stretched out some tight muscles, and the best was when we put or legs up in the wall. I think it really helped move my lymph flow. I’m going to make it part of my routine and go twice a week.

10/28 didn’t weigh in. Had a busy and fun day on the 27th that ended with beer🍺 ...and it was unexpected...so therefore unplanned. 😕 so on Sunday the 28th was just as busy but was feeling down from letting myself have beer(s) that I dipped into the Halloween candy. When will I learn?!
10/29 183.4 yep. It’s back up. I’ve decided that the weekends are very very hard for me and the weight shows up Monday and won’t go away until Thursday - just to go up again on Monday. It’s a vicious cycle that I’m now understanding, (thanks to this 10-day challenge! Thank YOU!) and so now I am planning to still give and plan for myself some allowances for the weekend - or else I’ll just give up completely. I have to think of it as a marathon and not a sprint. I’m getting there, friends. It starts with your head and then will show in your body. Hey! I think that’ll be my new mantra! 🙌

10/30 did not weigh in, but I had two workouts and stayed low on calories.

10/31 182 Going down at least. I’m dreading the weigh in tomorrow. Halloween candy and such may have done me in today. I worked out this morning and have a workout planned for tomorrow. It’s a marathon, and my head is in the game!
🎃 Happy Halloween everyone!!! 👻

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 57
