JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 71

AR10at50 · March 2019

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (Was my Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
Goal this round-159-hopefully! I got down to 162 last round.

3/14-166- I upped my walking miles yesterday, it made me super hungry, I made tomato/feta soup and forgot to be drinking water....
3/15-163- It was so nice here yesterday, I went for a big walk in the morning and then a short one after dinner-that helps.
3/16-No Scale
3/17-No Scale
3/18-167-Long hours traveling to a funeral.It was great to see family. It was nice to pick anything out I wanted to wear, because now, everything fits.
3/19-165-Back to walking a couple of times a day-the dogs love it and we have another warm day before it rains tomorrow.
3/20-163-I am getting back down to where I was after all of the “fun” binge eating I did on the 16th & 17th. It sure takes work to get back into the swing of things. I upped my walking to 7 miles.
3/21-163-I am happy with that, after nasty weather yesterday; instead of walking, I stayed in and sewed and made clam chowder. Today, I should be able to get a good long walk in. My husband started walking a mile or so with me before he goes to work and and that is nice. We also have been walking a mile after dinner since the days are longer; we sleep better too.

It’s wonderful to have ALL of you here!☕️🌸

Goal: Lose 5 lb this round.

03/14- ?
03/15- 211.0 lb
03/16- 209.9 lb
03/17- 209.0 lb
03/18- 209.4 lb My St. Patrick's Day pub crawl caused the 0.4 lb gain. Back-on-track, today!
03/19- 209.2 lb Social drinking, again, erased most of my efforts from yesterday. Time to eradicate it!
03/20- 208.3 lb Back on track!
03/21- 207.2 lb Expected larger loss, but water retention (high sodium intake, yesterday) probably the culprit.

03/14 177.1 Stayed withing calories and walked 4 miles last night. It was 64 degrees and sunny after being SUPER rainy all morning. It was a great walk and a good dinner after. I had hoped to see something a little lower this morning but I guess not.

03/15 176.9 Sure I saw 175 but only briefly, damn flirty scale. Walked 3.5 on the treadmill at the gym. Made sure I was under the HGTV screen because at least it's something interesting to watch while I'm walking hooked up my headphones and boom - the channel goes out. Talk about first world problems. I should be able to walk outside this afternoon at 47 and sunny. Happy Friday all! Here's to good choices this weekend.

03/16 No Scale but I walked Friday night and Saturday.

03/17 177.7 I hate this weight. I've been here for approximately 20 days and another 10 days at an even higher weight. Spent the day babysitting my niece who was cranky, she is not enjoying being weaned.

03/18 177.5 I feel like I need to change things up. I have been at this same basic weight for a month. It's super frustrating. I need to think about what to do. Keeping my head down and doing the same thing isn't working and it's time to address that. I spent yesterday going thru all my winter clothes and donated 2 bags. It occurred to me that I probably have no summer/spring clothes that fit me. Lots of big comfy tshirts but I don't know if I have a single pair of capris or shorts that will fit. I know it's just March but shopping season never ends

03/19 No Scale Traveling again. I decided to eat maintenance for a few days to give myself a break. Still exercising and tracking but I set my calories at 1700 and I'm not going to freak out about it. I got in 3 miles last night though not on the cool trail. I'm going to try to do the cool trail tomorrow on the drive home. Tonight is weights, I upped several weights last week and was a little sore, we'll see how it goes tonight.

03/20 No Scale Meetings this morning, then driving home with a planned stop along the Katy Trail for a quick walk. If you're in Missouri you should check it out, if I had more time I'd try other stops.

03/21 179.1 Sodium and two days of driving has upped this number. Got in 3.2 miles and was very happy to spend an hour outside on the first day of spring walking along the Missouri river before it's too high to do so safely. Eating at maintenance was harder than I thought. I'm giving myself until Monday. I was, with exercise within calories yesterday but it was a close thing. An old friend is staying with me for a few days and we went to dinner last night after the long drive home.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment

3/14 - 171.2 - 20g carbs, 15g net carbs. Carbs were: steamables golden potatoes (6.5gcarb), salad, deli smoked turkey, manzanilla olives, cucumber ranch dressing, au jus sauce. Okay, my weight has settled here for today. Probably that tiny potato 😂 Dinner was 2 hours later than I planned, due to this HUGE chuck roast I was cooking. It took 2+ hrs in the pressure cooker! with a couple of stops and starts to check it during the process. Should have put the 2nd weight on the pot.
3/15 - 172.2 - 32g carbs, 26g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, olives, dill pickle, grape tomatoes, jalapenos, peanut butter, almonds, walnuts, deli smoked turkey. A little fluid retention..... from exercise, not carbs! Knee is behaving, so back to strengthing quads and hams. Taking it low and slow, but consistently. I'm dealing with old shoulder injuries too, so must not be impatient with myself trying to do sets, reps and long workouts like I used to do.

3/16 - 173 - Normal fluctuation. 35g carbs, 27g net carbs. Carbs were: Strawberries, salad, peanut butter, celery, carrot, apple in chicken salad, cranberry cheddar, spaghetti squash, au jus sauce. Did not take vitamins 2 days, Th, F.
3/17 - 171.2 - 38g carbs, 28g net carbs. Too much peanut butter! Need B's. I did take my vitamins. Carbs were: green beans, au jus sauce, olives, deli smoked turkey, peanut butter.
Carb count increased from peanut butter.

3/18 - 171 - 26g carbs, 19g net carbs. Carbs were: eggs, spinach, salad, strawberries, peanut butter, sundried tomato dressing. It's going to be a slow roll with some backtracking out of the 170's. That was my normal pattern of weightloss before October 2018. Now I've buckled down and become conscious of the issues holding me in this decade for so long. With humbleness, prayer, guidance and thankfulness, I'm certain that I will exit this learning phase successfully. ☺
3/19 - 171.2 - 21g carbs, 16g net carbs. Carbs were: peanut butter, spinach and peppers as toppings on chicken crust pizza. Not very hungry yesterday, only ate 2/3 of allotted calories. If it wasn't for the peanut butter it would have been closer to 1/3!

3/20 - 172.2 - Back here again, but it's not 177 thank goodness! 32g carbs, 25g carbs. Carbs were: guacamole, peanut butter, uncured turkey hotdogs, salad, cauliflower, low carb bbq sauce.

3/21 - 170.6 - She's (my body) trying to come to terms with what I'm doing. I guess.😁 35g carbs, 30g net carbs. Carbs were: uncured turkey hotdogs, spaghetti squash, salad, guacamole, cream cheese.

Ultimate GW: 141

Round 70: SW 202.6 EW 197.4 (-5.2 pounds)

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14: 197.8 (Yay for a new challenge! I weighed in heavier than yesterdays weight (197.4), but it has to do with my increased exercise last night which was 45 minutes on the elliptical sweating buckets. I had a small cheese quesadilla last night with chips and salsa for dinner. My official weigh in is on Friday's, so I'm excited to see what my results are tomorrow. Oh by the way, my weight today is the lowest I have weighed since September of 2015!! I almost cried.)

03/15: 197.8 (Same weight as yesterday, but that's okay! My official weigh in day is on Friday's and from last Friday I have lost 1.6 pounds. That makes me very happy! I did an upper body strength training workout and I'm a little sore. I had baked fries and homemade Philly cheesesteaks last night which were awesome!

03/16: 197.6 ( A little bit of a drop! I did no workout last night and had a nice big burrito for dinner haha. I can’t workout til tomorrow since I just got my first laser hair removal session today. I’ll be doing an hour workout tomorrow evening to offset today. Have a nice weekend!)

03/17: 198.6 (this gain was lower than expected! I only had half a beer last night for a little St Patrick’s day celebration which is a win for me. I ate less than what I planned for since I save calories for the weekends. I’m also 2 pounds less than last Sunday!)

03/18: 200.0 (I worked out for an hour yesterday doing 45 minutes of elliptical training and 15 minutes of total body training. Most of the time, when I workout hard I see a gain the following day. I also ate at a deficit. At least I'm 0.6 pounds less than last Monday! I'm hoping for a great week, even though TOM is visiting on Friday. Let's do this!)

03/19: 199.4 (A small drop this morning but a little less than usual. I did a 20 minute HIIT workout on the elliptical and a 15 minute core workout. My legs are a little on the sore side! Last night I had a Grocery store Asian takeout night complements of Trader Joe's

I also may be holding on to some sodium and water weight for TOM on Friday! I'm curious to see what the effects would be of all this by the end of the challenge.)

03/20: 199.2 (TOM came early yesterday afternoon, 3 days to be exact!

No wonder the weight was staying on! Sometimes it sucks to be a woman, but oh well I can't do anything lol. Last night I made some chicken noodle soup and had a piece of garlic bread. I also did my upper body strength training workout and I increased the reps and weight. I'll just be sticking to this for the next few days and see if the water weight drops before my trip to Vegas this weekend.)

03/21: 198.6 (TOM weight gain continuously brings my mood down, but I have to stay the course and be more positive! I only have 1 more day for a weigh in and if I don't get down to my goal, at least I know the reasons why. My soreness, TOM weight and TMI constipation that goes along with TOM is really really affecting me this week. Last night I had some cauliflower mashed potatoes, steak and Caesar salad and did a total body workout.)

@jlbtnc Look at what you ate 2-3 days ago to explain your gain! “Started with cookies and went down from there.”

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.
3/13 129.0
#############
3/14 128.0 Didn’t got to Greek as planned last night. Going to Golden Corral tonight with friends.
3/15 128.0 I plan to enjoy homemade chicken broth today. Think I overdid the treadmill yesterday. I actually WANT to get back to where I was 10 years ago but my body is not so sure.
3/16 128.0 Finally made it to Great Greek and ate 1/2 my large Greek Salad with gyro. I was stuffed. Also walked a lot. Got over my step goal.
3/17 128.5. Finished my salad for brunch yesterday, made Alfredo chicken and zoodles for a friend’s memorial potluck. Don’t know what I ate that made me feel so bloated! UGH!
3/18 128.5 May not have had enough water yesterday. Neighbor dog woke us before 5:30 this morning.
3/19 128.5 Lots of water and 50 minutes on the treadmill yesterday
3/20 128.5 Only 35 minutes on treadmill yesterday but went a little faster. Art Quilts and community bingo today. Meeting Amy at the gym between!

UPDATE: Migraine - didn’t go to the gym. Came home and took meds I. hope that I will feel like going to bingo. Several people today mentioned my weight loss. I’m wearing a tee shirt I’ve worn before and my jean shorts are the same size as the jeans I wore all winter. Strange!
3/21 129.0 Headache finally went away sometime during the evening. Not sure why the bump up unless it was caused by the migraine.🤷‍♀️

Round 71 (3rd for me)

Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4

Round70 TL -3.6 pounds 356.4 - 352.8

OSW: 382
RSW: 352.8
UGW: 160

03/14 - 347.8 Umm...what!?! Five pounds lost overnight? I had my husband double check the scale because he had already weighed and then I weighed myself again. Hopefully the downward trend continues, but I won’t be surprised by gains in the following days. My goals are to stay on track and continue to fight my cold.

03/15 - 347.2 So it appears that my scale wasn’t horribly wrong yesterday and the downward trend continues. I’m feeling much better this morning and I’m already at pre sick steps for the morning. I might wait until Sunday to restart workouts. I’m very cautious with chest colds due to having a history of getting bronchitis. Today is my mother in law’s birthday and I’m hopeful of staying on track.

03/16 - 353 Frustrating but not surprising. I didn’t think I had lost 5 pounds overnight and I guessed that I should have been closer to my round start weight. Anything over that is from the bread and sodium from last night’s dinner. I’m sure the next couple of days will see my weight average out between the two numbers. My nsv yesterday was getting in all the steps I wanted plus a few extra.

03/17 - 353 Just waiting on the woosh down.

03/18 - 352.4 That’s a start. I believe that one of the reasons I’m finding this weight set mentally difficult is this is the weight I was when I last tried to lose over four years ago. I bounced between this and 350 and at the time I thought I was really trying. Looking back I know that wasn’t the case. I would have a cheat meal which would turn into a cheat day which turned into a cheat week. I never made any true or lasting changes. I keep having to remind myself that this time I’m serious and that this very minor hiccup is water and that I’m honestly tracking and not falling back into old habits. I know that I’ve got this and that I can do it.

03/19 - 351.4 I spent part of my day figuring out some of my lack of motivation and lack of activities for stress release. I’ve been staying in calories, but it’s been harder every day. I now have a plan in place that I think will suit me well and if not I’ll fix whatever is broken.

03/20 - 350 And another woosh down. I’m sure the quick drops will even out again here soon, but it’s nice to see right now. My nsv yesterday was taking a walk outside. It wasn’t far, but it was further than I would have walked in my house.

03/21 - 350 Not unexpected after a couple of bigger drops so I’m pretty happy there overall. I’m looking forward to getting solidly in the 40’s here soon because everything under this weight is lower than I’ve been in about eight years.

OK, this weight loss stall is starting to bug me. I know this happens to me and if I just hang in there it will come off but its been almost 3 weeks. I need to think of a reward for sticking with it through the end of April if I don't see any weight loss. Hmmmm, last time I had a long stall I picked out a cute pair of shoes...

Day/Weight/Comment

03/14--212.9 I realized that I need to really work on my evening snacking. I don't know if it's boredom, tiredness or something else, but I want to be really conscious of why I snack so much in the evening even when I'm not hungry. What's weird is that I'm not even snacking on junk food or any specific type of food. It's going to be hard, but I think it should be interesting. Trainer tonight.
03/15--212.5 Ok, yesterday evening I tried something new to help curb my snacking. I had my dinner and then about 1/2 an hour later I realized that I was still hungry, but instead of reaching for a snack I decided to have another serving of my dinner. After the 2nd serving the hunger was gone and when about an hour later my husband asked if I wanted any of the popcorn he made I said no when I realized that I wasn't hungry. I didn't snack for the rest of the evening and in the end ate less calories than I've eaten over the prior couple of days when I was snacking. This has made me realize that I'm probably not eating enough for dinner and when I get hungry in the evening and start snacking it's hard for me to stop. So, I think from now on I'm going to eat more at dinner which will curb my hunger during the rest of the evening and hopefully I won't even start snacking. Run tonight.
03/16-212.5. Kept with the larger dinner last night and there was no snacking. Finished w7d2...8 more days to my 5k. Went to the gym this morning to do some weightlifting. Have to work on getting my water in today...it's so much harder for me on the weekend.
03/17--212.9 Well, plan to drink more water yesterday was a fail. I also realized that my plan to eat more at dinner to reduce snacking works much better on days that I work because I will snack all day if I'm at home. I think I may just accept the fact that I will probably be eating at maintenance on the weekends and just not worry about staying in deficit. Today I finished W7D3...it was an absolutely perfect run...one more week until my 5k. I bought a sofa today and did some errands. Drinking more water today than yesterday so that is a plus.
03/18--212.5 Up and down and up and down. No workout/run planned today, but the weather is supposed to be great today, high 60's and sunny, that I might need to take the dog out after work for a long walk.
03/19--212.0 Had a tough workout today, trainer switched up some exercises and I definitely felt it.
03/20--211.4 Large dinner yesterday worked again with curbing my evening snacking. I was feeling stressed out yesterday about 2 hours after my dinner, I was studying for a test, and I wanted to snack, but then I stopped myself when I realized I wasn't hungry. So instead of starting to snack I had 2 pieces of dark chocolate. I won't have time to run after work today so instead of missing my run I am planning to run at lunch today, something I haven't done in years.
03/21--212.0 Went out for a run during lunch yesterday and finished W8D1...3 more days until the 5k. The run was great. It was a lot warmer than I thought it would be during the lunchtime run, but I was still able to finish. I had homemade pizza for dinner and instead of adding another slice for a larger dinner I decided to have a salad. Only snack after dinner yesterday was 1 piece of dark chocolate. My sister-in-law and I are back in a walking challenge, she already has 8k more steps than I do, so after my trainer session today I am going to take the dog out for a long walk.
