JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 61

Round 61 - (my 2nd round)

51, Standing: 5'9" in NYC
OSW: 274 ~ CSW: 234.2 ~ GW: 230

12/03 ~ 235.2 - End R60 not too bad overall. Down 1.6 lbs.

12/04 ~ 234.2 - SOOOORE is the word of the day.

12/05 ~ 233.1 - Unexpectedly had time yesterday and spent HOURS deep cleaning house, moving furniture, reorganizing closets and decorating for the holidays. So surprisingly not as sore today, but feeling achy enough in my knees and lower back to make this a rest day for sure. Hoping some mild stretching this morning and eve gets the kinks out ~ and the weight loss keeps dropping! Have a great day everyone.

12/06 ~ 232.9 - My sore body bows in gratitude and prays the good fortune continues, lol 🙏

Day/Weight/Comment

12/4 - 178.8 - Starting to come back down. I never have a Round goal weight, only a 10 lb goal to reach. This time I set one. 175 lbs, to keep me accountable and away from the carbs until I reach it. BECAUSE, there are 2 carb days I am looking forward to, gingerbread and belgian waffles 😃 both courtesy of my son's baking. I've been waiting on this gingerbread for 4 years😂
12/5 - 176.8 - 😏 Okay. I will take it, thank you very much.

12/6 - 176.2 - 😊 Keeping my carbs low. Cruciferous vegetables and leafy greens only.

12/06 146 Holding steady. Can not believe how close we are to the end of the year. Thinking about the holidays makes me nervous. Even though my goal has been to get to 140 by the end of the year, I actually will be ok if I maintain my weight through the holiday and not gain! Sorry everyone, I have slacked off posting. I will make sure I post every day this round.

Back in the "legal" zone. I'm still slacking off on exercise because of lingering pain, especially in my joints. The elimination diet I was on eliminated 15 pounds but not the pain. Still a win! We tried another short course of prednisone and will re-check inflammation levels mid month and go from there. In the meantime, I need to suck it up and exercise anyway. Maybe I should join a "get off your butt for 10 days" challenge!

12/05 - 131.2 - 1160 - 10-day ave 1383
Follow-up visit with dietitian today re. the elimination diet, which has made no difference in my pain/inflammation. It will be interesting to hear what other suggestions she might have. In the meantime, I'm trying a new baked salmon patty recipe for lunch. Mmmm!

12/06 - 130.4 - 1370 - 10-day ave 1399
OK, back down where I belong. My dietitian visit left me a little confused and blue. I've seen no difference in pain with the elimination diet I did, and no symptoms of any sensitivities as I've added foods back into my diet. The only major changes I've noticed is that my gut seems to be functioning better and I lost 9 pounds on the diet. Anyway, my integrative doctor is sending me to another rheumatologist, and I know he's going to want me to take prednisone long term, and I'm not happy about that. The dietitian did say that 6 weeks of eliminating foods may not be enough and suggested I think about doing it again for 12 weeks, or even doing the much more restrictive auto-immune paleo diet. But of course if I take pred and follow the diet and the pain subsides, we won't know which treatment did it. I had such high hopes for the elimination diet I was on that I'm really bummed out right now. I don't want to be on pred long term but it's the only medication mentioned in anything I've read about PMR. Anyway, thanks for listening. My salmon patty (new recipe) yesterday was delicious, so there is that! And our kitten is lovely and funny and sweet, and I just sold two paintings, and I've just started a new book (writing, not reading, although I did just start Louise Penny's new book, Kingdom of the Blind). So I guess a bit of pain isn't the end of the world. Thanks for giving me a place to unload.

12/04: 150.0- Morning exercise. Still recovering from Saturday’s “binge”. Sporting a dandy of a headache. But things are evening out. Going to be a good round. I can feel it! Today’s Focus: Getting 10,000 steps.

12/05: 148.5- Good day yesterday. Didn’t make the 10k steps, but I was busy and it felt good. No morning exercise today. Woke up hungry. Spent time this morning reading instead. Today’s Focus: Exercise.

12/06: ToM- Hole in the stomach that didn’t want to be filled yesterday. Ended up not exercising- plans for mom alone time got thwarted. Oh well. Morning exercise today! Followed by Miracle Morning. Today’s Focus: Being present and not distracted by what doesn’t matter.

ROUND 61 (Round 8 for me)
5’5” 66 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Started Keto WOE on September 24th (2018). Still experiencing decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain since the second week of Keto. Since starting the keto, I’ve lost 21 lb., I wear smaller jeans, and I’m encouraged to press on. Staying within calorie limits is easy enough, but not exceeding my carb limit is difficult. Per my KetoMojo meter, I’m in ketosis most of the time.
Rounds 54 – 60 resulted in a loss of 20.4 lb.! Love it!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/04 156.4 This is what I wanted to see yesterday! Better late than never. Yesterday, my podiatrist offered a $450 custom orthotic insert my insurance won’t cover. I’ll think about it for 2 weeks before I see the doctor again. Meanwhile, I have a wrap on my foot, and Thor (my GSD) and I will start C25K today. We walked 5.2 miles twice last week, so it’s time to pick up the pace.
12/05 156.0 Thor and I incorporated C25K into the beginning of our 5 mile walk yesterday. I was excited, and it felt great; however, last night, my left knee hurt—a lot. I iced it and took an extra anti-inflammatory. It’s not quite as bad this morning, but it hurts, and I’m walking with care. My initial thought is that I should have done more lower body strength training to prepare myself. I may have to backtrack and give myself another month of preparation. My foot didn’t hurt, so I’ll probably trust the podiatrist and buy the orthotic insert. I ran in my new Mizuno running shoes, which is a brand that has wide widths, good arch support, and has served me well in the past. I really want to run again.
12/06 156.2 As slow as I moved yesterday, this weight looks reasonable. I was supposed to complete my second C25K session today, but it’s not to be. I’ll have to be patient—knee is still hurting. I practiced walking slowly yesterday and making my knee bend. I can’t walk stiff-legged and expect it to loosen up. My cousin gave me an ointment, and I used heat a few times yesterday. I see the orthopedist tomorrow. For today, I’m going to play cards with the girls and try not to think about the knee. I’ve learned, “All things work together for good to them who love the Lord, to those who are called according to his purpose.” So, I will stop whining and complaining. 😊 Have a blessed day, Everyone!

Highest Weight Ever: 253 (2014/2015)
Starting Weight on current diet/journey : 235 on 1/11/2018


NOVEMBER STARTING WEIGHT: 177.6
NOVEMBER GOAL: 172.6
NOVEMBER ACTUAL:

I’LL BE WEIGHING ON THE 1ST AND THE 30TH IN ORDER TO SEE MY TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR OCTOBER. IN-BETWEEN I WILL WEIGH ON THURSDAYS TO SEAMLESSLY FLOW FROM THE LAST CHALLENGE TO THIS ONE. .


Weight Loss so far for this challenge: Zero Lost – 0.5 lbs GAINED. YIKES……



Current Stats/Comments:



11/01: 177.6 Starting Weight
11/08: 179.6 Too much travel this week. Too many restaurants & not enough movement. Ugg….
11/15: 177.2 Lots of travel again this week. Weight actually went higher than this but I’m working it back down. It’s nice to type it in red ink.
11/22: 176.0 This week has been a roller-coaster but I managed to reign it in. Two Thanksgiving dinner’s planned for this week. The scales next week will tell the final tale.
11/29: 176.4 A tiny blip up but not bad after the two holiday feasts. It actually went much higher but I’ve gotten it back down this past week. Tonight is the usual Thursday pot luck so I fear a bit of extra water weight tomorrow due to the carbs. I hope to at least end at my 11/1/2018 starting weight. While I enjoy and indulge on Thursdays during this very fun social event each week, I do try to make decent choices. I am sure that I will not reach my November or my December goals. This time of year is just too tough for me, especially since I've become older. However, these challenges will help me keep it reigned in. It will remind me to move in the ways that I can. It will help to minimize the potential damage. And it will help me to build my strength toward my plan and my "new lifestyle".
11/30: 178.1 Never weigh after a potluck dinner. Ugg.




FINAL CHALLENGE THOUGHTS: A horrible month for me filled with feasts and potlucks. On to December.

R61 EW= TBD

Day/Weight/Comment:
12/04 - 176.8 Whoosh. Very low calorie and carb day yesterday to help jumpstart me & get me back on track. Very low on fluids and water because I was just so busy still prepping for the new whole house carpet install Thursday, so I may be a bit dehydrated and that is likely reflected in the large weight drop. Today I will carry a cup & straw with me around the house to make sure I get more water in. December will be a little tough with all the festivities, but I plan on making mini goals and taking baby steps to simplify things and yet stay the course. I’m going to stay smart while doing December in Style!
12/05 - 176.8 No change. Increased my water a bit, but not as much as I had planned. Still busy preparing for whole house carpet. Put signs on many boxes and loaded up the pickup truck with them to get things off the floor and stored out of the house. I should see another drop soon with all this work! However, my body may be holding onto fluid I need. I was so dehydrated yesterday that I had to take two AZO pills to prevent a bladder issue I felt coming on. I’m doing great this morning, but I will try adding more water again today and I hope I do even better with hydrating.
12/06 - 178.4 Stress eating last night for sure. High Sodium, retaining fluids but I think I seriously needed them due to some dehydration of late. Carpet going in today. Last minute moving of items this morning including 3 bedrooms of mattresses on the floors. I can’t wait for this day to be over. Ugg.

"Our greatest glory is, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith
About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 and, typical yoyo, currently bouncing back up over original goal weight of 130.
Want to get back to 127-128
Crept back to JGM10D quietly in Round 60, after intentionally sitting out a number of rounds, because I need the daily accountability that worked before.

12/4 - 131.2 - over maintenance calories yesterday. Really tired plus sugary treats in the evening. Dropping goal calories to the .5 loss goal for this round, and we shall see!
12/5 - 130.4 - just at my new calorie limit that should result in .5 a week loss. 7500 steps and I do eat back as much of the fitbit calorie adjustment as I want to, that's worked for me before.

12/6 - 130.0 - just at my new gentle-loss calorie limit. 8500 steps. Poor sleep last night, can make for a weak-willed day, so I am on guard.
