JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 72

MarisaMSimon · March 2019

I did not have a great last round. TOM completely botched it but I am very motivated to get started again after a weekend getaway where I ate and drank a lot. Let’s hope for a new low this week! Good luck everyone!

Round 71: SW 197.4 EW 199.6 (+2.2 pounds)

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - No Scale (driving back from Vegas today without a weigh in this morning. I went to bed last night (or this morning) at 445am and I’m exhausted! Friday and Saturday I walked 25000 steps EACH day and I’m not sure how I still have feet! I count those two days as active so I hope the scale isn’t too bad tomorrow morning with all the food I had.)

03/25 - 200.6 (I'm happy I only gained a whole pound during my weekend away, which is a first for me. I usually gain around 5 pounds! All that walking truly helped. Last night I took naps and relaxed so I'm able to wake up to go to work so I did not do a workout. I had some Mandarin chicken, rice and broccoli for dinner last night.)

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 173.4 We’re going to do church this morning, then do family pictures and possibly going out to eat after. It’s going to be a great day!
03/25 174.8 Yesterday was a pretty good day. Even if the morning was jam packed. I did manage to squeeze in a short cardio workout. We did go out to eat after pictures so I'm guessing that's what this little bump back up is about. My son says "We're eating out again!? Why can't we just eat at home?" It made me laugh! We don't eat out often and we've managed to do it three times in one week. And it made me feel kind of good that he'd rather eat at home. 😊

Historic Round Data

03/24 - 61.1kg (+1.0) - Expected to be higher than this today! I did a 10 mile trail run yesterday and enjoyed a salty, high-carb, high-cal feast for dinner. Bit dehydrated still too. Plan today: rehydrate and not overeat to compensate for yesterday's exercise!

03/25 - 61.4kg (+0.3) - Ahhh there it is, that's what I was expecting yesterday. I had a bit of a wobbly start this morning with all kinds of treats being left in the break room. Back on plan for the rest of the day, and will just have to go without dessert tonight! TOM due and I feel like I have a cold coming as well. Hmmm.

Figuring out how to do this is maintenance! Bare with me.

Day/Weight/Comment

03/24 133.8 t = 135.4
I made my trend line goal!!! 🤸‍♀️
Saturday was so lovely. My parents came down and brought my grandpa and their elderly basset hound Molly. At this point I do think I want to gain weight or maintain so I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted. Spicy guacamole cheeseburger was delicious! I ate half and my side was a Cesar salad instead of fries. And I drank half my beer. We walked around the creek with Molly since it was a perfect day and then had frozen yogurt. I didn't hold back on the toppings! After they left I plugged everything in to MFP, I had eaten 2,044 calories! Welcome to maintenance! Haha. But I was over my goal so when I went out dancing Saturday night I vowed to "stay sober", I.e. no liquid calories. And according to my Fitbit (and my scale apparently) my exercise calories ended up evening it all out! Yay! Victory!

03/26 133.2 t = 135.2
I need to keep reminding myself "I don't want to lose anymore weight, I don't want to lose anymore weight..." I don't need the dopamine fix of the scale going down. I need the fix of the scale going up! At least to 135 where I felt better. Today I vow to eat to my goal of 1720!

03/24 - 187.4 lb - ☹️ NCAA basketball tailgate food and drinks finally showing. Hopefully, it's just water weight from the food being much saltier and processed than what I normally eat. I'm going to try to fit in a workout.

Female, age 41, 5'6"
StW - 150.1 (starting on 3/25)
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for this 10 day stretch - consistently under 150, see what I can accomplish in 10 days in order to set realistic goals for later challenges.

3/24 - did not weigh or track, "officially" joining challenge 3/25

3/25 -150.1. Wins yesterday - hour long dog walk, 90 min Bikram hot yoga class. Lots of water, coming off a lot of travel it was needed. Goals for today: tracking my food, exercise, drink lots of water. Do my best not to binge eat as I'm in a moment of high anxiety and my eating habits are really bad at times like these. Trying to be very conscious of this today.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 Didn't Weigh-in

03/25 162.3 (up 17.2 lbs from Round 57 last fall) I'm back, recommitted and ready to tackle this again. I hit my highest weight ever last June and made a plan and stuck with it and lost a good amount of weight. Not enough to get to my goal, but enough that I was in a happy place, and then I got lazy with it all. I stopped tracking everything little thing, I started to go over calories, I'd skip a workout, and then stress started creeping in. I traded in tracking, eating healthy, and exercising which work for me in managing stress to mindless calorie consumption, poor nutrition choices, and excessive alcohol consumption. A sure recipe for failure. So here I am back to what I know works...tracking every single thing, posting here for accountability, and managing my stress by making myself and my workouts a priority. I feel ready to reclaim me again.

03/24 347.4. I’m a little surprised at this woosh, I’ll see if it stays. I’m certain tom is starting sometime soon and I usually see a little upswing then, but hopefully I’ll still be solidly in the 340s. My nsv yesterday was staying in calorie goal despite feeling hungry a portion of the day.

03/25 347.8 Not unexpected I had a higher sodium day yesterday and I’m not sure that I got in all my water. I have both a sick kid and a kid who fell skateboarding, she’s okay just bruised, so yesterday was a little rough and it will be a rough day today. My nsv yesterday was not having any of the snacks that my husband picked up to deal with his stress.

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!

03/25 - 176.3 Well that's nice for a change. I didn't walk all weekend and at around 1700 calories (adjusting for exercise) for the last week. Now that I'm finally down a tiny bit, do I keep with the 1700 or do I go back down?

@Hilogirl2018 You’re welcome! The bouncing that occurs in all of us is the reason I never set a goal weight for a round. It’s too difficult to predict. I think we all can learn from everyone’s experiences.

@GrandmaJackie You are struggling, just like the rest of us. You’ll get there!

@wild_rider2 Yes, half your weight in ounces is the general rule. I far exceed that, especially in summer here in Las Vegas!

I’ll be back, need to talk to daughter.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 72
