02/25 177.4 The wind storm we are having is making me anxious and keeping me indoors. Anxiety eating yesterday but able to keep it at maintenance cals.

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. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (My Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!

2/22-166-I leave my dad today, after taking care of him and his new knee. After the weekend, will go to where my husband and I are going to live. I look forward to living with my husband and getting to walk up and down the long paved driveway there, where we will be living (waiting for the house to be built).

2/23-166-Yesterday before I left my dad’s house, I rode 20 last miles on his bike. My legs were sore the rest of the day and that felt good. Today we will go help set up and work at a fundraiser that will have heavy food, lots of drinks and it will be a late night.

2/24-169-Heavy food and a late night. I need to drink lots of water and no alcohol. Hopefully I can get a walk in later. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everybody!!!

2/25-169-That’s OK after long hours and n the car and quick heavy dinner. We made it to our new temporary housing while our house is being built. It is great because there is a long paved driveway and I can walk the dogs every day.😊

I am glad all of you are here! I love reading all of your posts while I drink my coffee in the morning. ☕️🌷

First round with this challenge!!!

Goal for the challenge: hit my water goal of 64+ oz a day. (3/10 days)

02/25-360.2 Frustrating and disappointing. I keep telling myself this is just a pre tom flux, plus I didn't sleep well last night. I've stayed on track with calories, I'm weighing my food, and I've added in a bunch of steps. I'm up about 1.5k steps over what I was doing before. Therefore I know for a fact that this is only water weight and I'm sure I'll see the downward by the end of the ten days. My nsv yesterday was keeping up with the added steps and not eating the bread my husband baked yesterday.
GOAL for today-don't binge and don't add extra salt to my food

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22: 311.00 (-4.5) - New low, always nice! Bit surprised actually, triple checked. Due to this bad cold I'm still only making sure I come in under maintainance. Came in with a decent defecit yesterday though, so we'll see. Basically working on this week being steady. I always struggle when ill to not overeat, maintainance seems a good compromise. I updated my goals again recently, so my calorie goal changes, dropped by 50 a day. I think updating regularly so it's only small drops will be best so I'm not feeling like it's getting more restrictive in larger amounts.
02/23: 309.75 (-1.25) - Guess I'm not past wooshing after all! Still got a cold, but feeling better. I assume this is loss from the weekend catching up.
02/24: 312.75 (+3.00) - Ate nearly to maintainance yesterday, as I went very ill again, and I forgot to weigh until after breakfast. Hopefully be back to a defecit soon.
02/25: 311.75 (-1.00) - An earlier weigh was heavier I think, but I was half asleep and can't remember the number.

So with feeling ill I've just been trying to stay under maintainance calories. Yesterday I ate biscuits and cake and such, again. And I felt awful from it, both from overeating in general and what it was. I'm very much back on the bandwagon today just from how I felt, because that's likely not helping my fatigue. And what's horrifying is 2 months ago, that'd have been a pretty good day. Week, in fact. I ate a pack of biscuits over the week, I'd have eaten them in a day before. And another the next day. It's scary what I've been doing to my body, and how bad it made me feel day to day has just hit me like a truck. How much of my fatigue is currently (and has been before) because I'm not eating well? I love my body more than this.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/22 …..188.8 ….. Bad start after pool hall & potluck. Yesterdays stats: 2032 Calories In / 2419 Calories Out. Net Carbs 156. 11,586 Total Steps & 4.9 Miles. IF 16:8. I slept 4 hours & 38 minutes. I walked 34 minutes outdoors & danced 22 minutes. Sample song “ Here comes my girl” by Tom Petty. That one put me in a great mood because of the nice vibe. Good luck on this round everyone!

02/23 …..189.0 ….. This scale weight could have been much worse! I also made HORRIBLE food choices yesterday, or specifically last night. For the last two days I have not been eating dinner because I haven’t been hungry. Then comes late night…. Absolutely STARVING but too tired to cook. Too tired to even heat up my prepped food! So I start grabbing all the quick high calorie & high carb junk trying to turn it into a meal and if I eat enough of it, it works and fills me. So I logged it all (again) this morning and I see the pattern. I MUST EAT DINNER at some reasonable point, no matter how tired! Little Debbies & Oreos are not nice to the scale the next day! This is where logging really helps. I see the pattern emerging & will plan better. Here goes my embarrassing stats: 2653 Calories In / 2248 Calories out. 198 Net Carbs (the little Debbies are so much worse than the Oreos!). 10,183 Total Steps & 4.32 Miles. No IF yesterday. I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes & suffered severe Restless Leg Syndrome all night from the sugar. I very briskly walked for 17 minutes but did not dance yesterday. Too busy during the day & too tired last night. I will try to make today a better day. Perhaps I will do a one day Egg Fast to jump start me. My goal today is to keep my son’s snacks away from me. I control them well with him but not with myself so I feel very guilty about that today. He doesn’t deserve this. I don’t deserve this, I’ve worked way too hard. My goal is to stay on plan when at home or work. When I travel that is difficult to do at Restaurants or places where I can’t easily plan the food. But at least being off-plan is with real food. Chinese restaurant or Mexican, or pasta. Even that could be improved upon. But at least it's not Little Debbies & Oreos as a meal! New day & new insight into my patterns! Ground Zero!

02/24 ….. 189.0 ….. I am trusting the process here. Good day yesterday. 1111 Calories in / 2369 Calories Out. 14 Net Carbs. 13,161 Total Steps & 5.57 Total Miles. IF 17:7. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my Fitbit overnight, but got over 5 hours of sleep. I danced for 41 minutes, Sample Song “The Wanderer” by Dion. Tons of work today. I will get my steps in no problem. Have a great day everyone!

02/25 …..188.6 ….. Slowly melting pound. But every little bit counts, right? Yesterdays stats: 1350 Calories In / 2455 Calories Out. 23 Net which was mostly veggies in my Curry bowl & 1 c. of Fairlife 2% milk. 14,200 Total Steps & 6.04 Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 13 min which was phenomenal! I took a very brisk & fast outdoor 10 minute walk & I danced for 40 minutes. Sample song “ Another one bites the dust” by Queen in honor of their Oscar performance where they sang “We are the Champions." I enjoyed my evening watching the Academy Awards & especially liked seeing Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper perform “Shallow”. I agree with the critics that it was very “intimate”. But the nature of the movie & how it ended – just to be together again, I get it. Anyway, have a great week everyone.

02/26 ….. …..
02/27 ….. …..
02/28 ….. ….. Travel no weigh.
03/01 ….. …..
03/02 ….. …..
03/03 ….. …..

Day/Weight/Commment
2/22 - 315.8 - This was nice to see. And I have been sticking to my weighing plan. I’m still a little stressed from the other night; it kinda triggered my PTSD. BUT I am calmer this afternoon. Food has still been good; it’s just been more of a struggle.
2/23 - NW - Yesterday, I was on par with eating, maybe a little light due to being out of the apartment during key eating times. Today, similar thing and I am out of olives, BUT I have a plan. I did a heartbreaking episode of Zombies, Run! yesterday and will do another one today. Since the sun has come out I am going to do it outside instead of pacing in my apartment or walking circles around the community room. As the weather turns to more warm days I will start doing Z5K training, AGAIN, but this time I should be able to finish it. I have hope for more activity in the future.
2/24 - 212.2 - I walked outside yesterday! It's more challenging outside with the ups and downs of the landscape vs the flat ground of the community room or my apartment, and I loved every moment of it. If it's not too cold I'm going to repeat it today, just a supply run not a full episode of Zombies, Run! Food is fairly on point according to the sheet the dietitian gave me. I'm settling down emotionally from the trigger earlier in the week.
2/25 - NW - The temperature dropped, so even though it was sunny I couldn't go outside to walk. I did a supply run on Zombies, Run! for 47 minutes (new record walking), and then later I did an episode of Zombies, Run!. The episode was good and tugged at my heart a little. I also finally learned about project Greenshoot, why runner 5 originally came to Able Township back in season 1. So, it was a good episode. My food supplies are running low, critically low and I have no resources; so, tomorrow my CSS is taking me to Crosslines to pick up some food. I'm not crazy about going to food pantries as it's not a lot healthy stuff, but won't matter if I end up starving either. In the meantime I'm managing to eat healthy based off of what I have on hand.

"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 but, typical yoyo, currently bouncing way over original goal weight of 130.
GOALS THIS ROUND reporting on all the "yesterdays":

• under calorie goal 9/10 days: 2/10 so far
• over 8K steps 9/10 days: 2/10 so far
• three strength workouts
• four cardio workouts

2/21 for continuity - 134.0
2/22 - 133.2 - Yesterday under calorie goal for .5 lb weekly loss, got 8K steps.
2/23 - 133.2 - yesterday at calorie goal, 8K steps.
2/24 - 134.2 - Yesterday over calorie goal and didn't even log but, got 16K steps in spite of driving 300 miles, a number of those steps in short .25 to .5 runs with the dog.

2/25 - 135.6 - exhausted and mostly sedentary yesterday, 5K steps. Overate, didn't even log. Tried a 10 minute row but that was all I had. Today, up again and take another. There is a reason that Oliver Goldsmith quote is at the top of my posts.
