JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ ROUND 69

Lilylady3k · February 2019

b]You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. Maxwell[/b]

My goal for 2019 is to get into ONEderland. Changing my life.
Plans:
- Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target 70k steps per week
- Drink more water (target min 64 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
- Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018)
- Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
- Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

SW: 245 (12/28/2018)
R63: 245 (+/-0)
R64: 243.3 (-1.7)
R65: 241.6 (- 1.7)
R66: 237.7 (- 3.9)
R67: 237.2 (-.5)
R68: 235 (-2.2)

Round 69: My focus is to continue tracking streak, reduce snacking on poor choices, drink more water and be active every day in some way shape or form!

Posting weight each morning, and comments for the previous day.
2/22 - 234.8 - Yeah yesterday’s WI was not a fluke it stuck!!! raining walked .5 miles, bike 20 min, yoga hand weights planks, 8960 steps, 56+oz water, track, V. GS Cookie & wine pairing party which I survived! Tracked each of the 4 cookies I ate & a total of 2oz wine with each. I’m amazed you can eat one cookie and not the whole sleeve & still enjoy it. Nice lesson.
2/23 - 235 - walked 4+ miles, bike 20 min, 17680 steps, 80oz water, track, V. Walked to the library to pick up books! Dinner out, wine, 2 GS cookies … held it together.
2/24 - 235.5 - walked 4 miles, 13778 steps, 48oz water, track, V. Lunch out yesterday and I had a burger in a bowl … interesting concept but dressing choice was not very dietetic. Baby steps
2/25 - 235 - no exercise except sporting clays, 7818 steps, 80oz water, track, V, AF. Finished off the GS cookies but held the rest of the day together.
2/26 - 234.3 - walked 1+miles, bike 20 min, 9242 steps, 64 oz water, track, V, AF. Too much frozen pizza. Remember no seconds.

Headed in the right direction! Now I just need to hold it together at our fishing camp where I eat and drink and don't exercise enough. I've got to learn how to handle that environment with better habits since we head there usually for a couple of long weekends each month. The last 3 days of this challenge I will be there without a scale! Considering buying the camp a scale even if it reads different just to have something to step on and be accountable.

Missed the last round, but I'm back again.... just can't give up!

Facts: age: 61, female, 5'3"
Current weight: 135 (highest in a year!)
Lowest weight: 122 (a year ago now -- felt great!!)
Highest weight: 198 (lol! So close to 200...)

Have hovered around 127-130 all year, but now I'm 135. I go up and down a couple of pounds, but I never want to go back to the "old me" -- so I'll keep trying! Really working right now at losing -- logging the foods (which I admit I stopped doing) and tracking the exercise. I do power yoga (in 95 degrees) 4 times per week, and we have a puppy -- black lab mix -- that keeps us walking and running. SO, it must be the food choices that have me putting weight back on. I'm adding in more veggies and greens, and cutting the carbs. Back to the 120's!

2/22 -- 134.9
2/23 -- 135.0
2/24 -- 135.0
2/25 -- 133.7 Soooo glad to see the drop and motivated to keep it going! Busy week ahead --must stay mindful.
2/26 -- 133.3 Another little drop makes me happy! Did a power yoga session last night (75 mins) and really felt great afterwards. Did have two glasses of wine afterwards! That felt great too!

I'm trying to learn to love my treadmill again and start up the c25k running plan. There's a 5k I could participate in
at the end of May. It's good for me to have exercise goals too.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 197.2 it really does help to exercise and not eat late at night 😄. Good start for the next ten days but the weekend is coming up and I have plans to eat out tomorrow and the husband is home this weekend, we are on opposite scales of eating, I just need to stay disciplined. Happy weekend all!!
02/23 198.8 expected. My Friday cheat day I really took advantage of and no exercise.
02/24 200.8 hopefully I got all my junk eating out of the way. Back on track today already this morning with my smoothie. ☺️
02/25 201.8. Ok, still paying for my bad choices this weekend, but it’s Monday!! Back on track, for real.
02/26 199.4. Going back in the right direction! It was hard not having a dessert last night (I did have a couple spoons of cool whip 🙃) the sugar cravings are really strong at night again.

Wt R68: 317.2

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 - 312.2 - 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.
2/26 - 308.4 - I walked outside again yesterday. I threw on my light covering and went despite the wind. The sun was (and is) shining! The community room was taken by people playing Bingo, and I did not feel like pacing in my apartment when it was so beautiful outside. I stayed to the sheet my dietitian gave me, and it's made a huge difference. I feel better as I am getting my nutrients in, particularly protein.

02/22 - 144.4
I did a little better yesterday, but still snacked a bit. Step by step, pound by pound, back to where I was before November - no sugar or salt cravings.

02/23 - 143.4
I have to bake cornbread this afternoon for a chili & cornbread cook off/fundraiser tonight, so salad for lunch -- and I'm hitting the gym this morning. We'll see if I continue to downward trend despite - ymmmm - cornbreads to sample! Have a lovely weekend, all.

02/24 - 145
Ooops. Too many chili samples, bowls, & cornbreads, and salt. Good, though! This gain is temporary. On to the new week, starting today. Have a good Sunday, and week to come!

02/25 - 145
I mostly behaved myself yesterday, other than some cookies at UU. But we had high winds and once home I didn't want to go back out to the Y, so not much exercise beyond a little cleaning/organizing. I plan to get there today for weights & walking and/or biking. And I'm determined to stick to my calorie goal this week. I hope.

@TerriRichardson112 Lovely photo! Where are you? I'm guessing Ireland since Scotland is a smudge? I'm dying to get back to both sometime soon - my ma was Scottish, and I've loved Ireland since my first visit.

02/26 - 145
OK, I guess I'll sit here for a few days. That's fine, I know I'm eating better and it will fall away eventually. Off to the Y in a few minutes - I feel so virtuous when I stick to my exercise plan.

02/22 179.1 Going down is always good. I got in a three mile walk last night, unfortunately I woke up feeling like crap. I've had breakfast and a pill, I hope to feel better soon. I want to walk tonight but since I also want to go to bed it doesn't look good. I took this as I was leaving the park last night. I thought it looked cool.
02/23 176.5 Down again is good news. Bad news is I’m completely sick. Left work early yesterday and was back in bed and asleep by 11:00 a.m. Ate enough food to keep medicine down but not much else. No walk last night or today. Fingers crossed I’ll be back to normal tomorrow.
02/24 175.5 Down again still good. I suspect it will be up tomorrow, only because I haven't really eaten much for two days. Feeling better this morning after a rough night. Still achy but no fever and I can breathe! So fancy. My joints hurt, I feel like junk from laying down for 48 hours I as much as being sick. I did have a NSV while being sick. Last week a friend talked me into buying a nightgown that was super cheap but a Large, she was sure it would fit - I was sure it wouldn't. Last night I tried it anyway and it fit. Like it's not even tight, it just fits. That felt good.
02/25 173.8 Whoosh!!!!! Six pounds in three days. I don't know if it's from being sick or finally getting rid of retained water. I don't care I'm a happy girl. I did get in a short walk yesterday (only two miles) but got tired quickly. I listened to my body and went home. I took my dog with me even though I knew better because it rained the day before. The sidewalk/trail was clear "mostly" but the front seat of my car is a muddy dog mess. He just gets so excited when I'm putting my shoes on, he's hard to resist. Look how excited he is on the trail ... could you say no??? These pics were not from yesterday but he looks so happy.

Also at 173 I've hit a forty pound loss, which means I'm half way there. I know I've said it before but I don't think I'd be this far down the road without this group. When I'm discouraged because it feels like I'm doing everything right but it's not reflected on the scale - this group helps me. A thousand thank yous.
02/26 175.5 I knew yesterday's low should be attributed to being sick and not my excellent dieting technique. I'm still happy with this number - it was the goal I had set for this round so I have time to beat it! Now if only Planet Sub would stop sending me the $3.99 coupons. I look at my calorie goal like a budget (I'm a banker I guess it shows) I have 1400 calories to spend every day. My favorite sandwich is 578 calories, with adjustments I can absolutely fit that in, unfortunately the sodium is 1729. Since I have discovered that I can retain water for like 10 days it hardly seems worth it for one sandwich. Oh well off to the gym tonight for weight lifting. I missed going last week but when you travel for work you have to find your exercise where you can when you're on the road. Happy Tuesday everyone the sun has shined for two days in a row that makes everything a little better.

I'm stoked to keep this momentum going and participate in another round.

SW Jan 2015 - 165 lb
SW Jan 2019 - 147.5 lb
GW - 135 lb
R67 EW = 141 lb; ∆ = -2.2 lb
R68 EW = 138.2 lb; ∆ = -2.8 lb

Goals
Track everything and weigh to the gram.
Walk or jog 8,000 steps per day
Jog 5X in 10 days
Jog/Walk a 5k at least one of those times.
Finish yoga with Adriene 30 day journey on 2/26. Start new yoga journey (???)

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 138.2 lb. Nothing lost nothing gained. I'm happy 😊
02/23 137.6 lb. I am loving this new life I'm building. I have been so sore since starting to incorporate jogging but I still keep my body moving. Yesterday I did the 5K in 43 minutes and although that is pretty slow for 3.1 miles (I did a lot of walking), I can only go up from here! My friend and I are going to sign up for a timed 5K in a couple months and I'm also thinking of doing Bay to Breakers! 🌉 We'll see!
02/24 136.6 lbs. Yesterday was kind of crazy, I was out of the house all day and I knew I had dinner plans with my family so I decided to save up most of my calories for that. But what I ended up doing was compensating with lots of cafinated drinks and I didn't drink much water. At the end of the day I think I didn't eat enough and the caffiene's diuretic effects have led me to lose a lot of water weight. So I'll probably be back up tomorrow once I replenish my fluids.
02/25 137.2 lbs. Now this is a much more realistic number to reflect my diet and exercise over the weekend. 👍
02/26 135.4 lbs. Feeling terrible. I got poison oak from my hike last week and I'm sick with a cold. I haven't been eating enough or drinking enough. Been going to sleep early because the benedryl makes me so sleepy and the itching is unbearable without it. I'm not pleased with this loss because I know I'm not taking care of myself. I am going to buy some homemade chicken noodle soup today from the Nugget. I hope that helps.

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.😊

2/26 -164-yipee! Signs of the weekend are finally gone. I walked 4 miles fast yesterday, and logged my food & drank water.

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

Spring is a few weeks away. The birds have been chirping and trilling bright and early every morning now for a month!

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!

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Next Goal - 170 I will get there, hopefully soon
Goal Weight July 2019 - 140

Round 60 - SW - 178.8 - EW - 180.0 - Average weight over 10 Days - 179.3
Round 61 - SW - 178.6 - EW - 178.2 - Average weight over 10 days - 178.5
Round 62 - SW - 179.0 - EW - 178.0 - Average weight over 10 days - 178.8
Round 63 - SW - 178 - EW - 180.0 - Average weight over 10 Days - 180.0
Round 64 - SW - 181.2 - EW - 180.2 Average weight over 10 Days - 181.3
Round 65 - SW - 180.6 - EW - 179.0 Average weight over 10 Days - 180.0
Round 66 - SW - 179.0 - EW - 180.4 Average weight over 10 Days - 179.1
Round 67 - SW - 179.8 - EW - 179.1 Average weight over 10 days - 179.1
Round 68 - SW - 178.8 EW - 177.4 Average weight over 10 days - 178.2

Feb 22 - 178.4 - these fluctuations are insane. I need some lighter meals for a few days.
Feb 23 - 178.6 - my scale is really acting up, this is the number that repeated the most
Feb 24 - 180.1 - too much junk yesterday
Feb 25 - 180.4 - yesterday was good, but still seeing effects of Saturday
Feb 26 - 180.6 - ugh

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 176.4 Woosh! great way to start the round. Have some DOMS today from yesterdays work out so I will try to get some walking in today, despite the grey rainy weather. The days are getting longer if not yet brighter.

02/23 176.8
02/24 176.0

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.
02/26 179 Felt like cr@p, ate like cr@p. Ate like cr@p, felt like cr@p. Did not log after noon, but definitely way over on carbs and cals. I am taking today off work - hopefully some extra rest will help me get back on track. Really need to learn my lesson - comfort carbs backfire in so many ways.
