JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 79

Day/Weight/Comment
06/02 182.0 lb I tracked 14,065 steps and had 20 oz of water. Dinner was a lovely grilled steak at my fiance's parent's house. We're heading to my parents for the afternoon and then we'll take the dog for a walk and probably get take out for dinner.
06/03 183.2 lb Lazy day yesterday. I tracked 4,595 steps and didn't drink any actual water. I had one glass of wine, three beers, and a fried fish sandwich for dinner. Today, I'm getting back on track. I have my meals planned through dinner, I have a full water bottle, and I'm exercising at home between work and the last band boosters meeting of the year.
06/04 183.2 lb 10,751 steps were tracked and I had about 50 oz of water. I'm going to the gym this afternoon and then I have wind ensemble rehearsal from 7:00-9:00. We're having baked eggplant parm for dinner, so I'll keep my snacking to a minimum to be able to enjoy a nice serving. The weather has been lovely to walk in! I have a sorta NSV to report. Growing up, we always had overweight pets because we loved to give them treats. At my most recent vet check-up with my dog, the vet noted that she is a perfect weight and had lost some weight since our last visit. She's been my walking buddy for the last few months and I think all that exercise has positively impacted her!

Round 79 SW 172.1 TBD

6/2 169.6 Very happy to see this. Didn’t walk yesterday but worked in the yard for two hours. More dang branches. It's supposed that to be beautiful. My goal is more yard work and maybe a walk.

6/3 169.2 Did a little yard work and walked for three very slow but lovely miles. Kept my calories in check and drank a lot of water. I'm working from home today and will get in a little yard work this morning. Walking will be determined by when the rain starts.

6/4 170.1 Not too worried about this. I knew I wasn't completely done with the 17Xs but I hope to be by the end of this round. This was the plateau from hell. I was 17X for approximately 160 days. The same weight I stalled at when I lost weight before. My body apparently really likes to weigh 17X. It's over now and I can move on. I worked in my yard for 4 hours yesterday. Then an old friend came over and we went to a nice dinner. I was fairly good in that I had no dessert and I had a salad for dinner but this place has the best nachos I've ever had in my life. I have posted the pic so you understand. They are pot roast nachos and they are heaven. I only had one chip but my estimation is over 500 calories for it. I ate back 4 hours of work plus an extra 81 calories.

06/02 – 244.6 lbs. – recouping from celebrating over the weekend. I laid around most of the day with my legs elevated.

********LOOK AND SEE HOW MUCH THESE 10 DAY CHALLENGES HAVE HELPED ME********


Day/Weight/Comment
06/01 …..195.6 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

06/02 …..195.6 ….. First weigh-in after travel. Using this as my Round 78 ending weight & Round 79 starting weight. It is slightly up from prior weigh-in. Lots of work to do today to catch up after being gone. Sundays are always busy at the cabins after most guests leave. I slept very well last night and am ready for the day. I will be overworked today & exhausted later, but I am committed to cooking myself a good meal to use up some acceptable veggies before they go bad. Feeling strong today & glad to be home! All is well with my family.
06/03 …..194.8 ….. Nice drop after lots of activity. I’m glad to see the travel hasn’t shown up badly. Sometimes it takes a few days for things to show on the scale so I’m still nervous but staying committed & strong. Yesterdays stats: 1178 Calories In / 3386 Calories Out. 24 Net Carbs. 21,288 Total Steps & 9.04 Total Miles. IF 20:4. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 22 minutes. I took a 23 minute walk before starting my busy work day. I was really hungry late night after a strenuous day but found that some walnuts & almonds did the trick. Staying on course today is the plan.

06/04 …..194.8 ….. Yesterday was a paperwork day. Out to lunch. I ate potato skins. I did not finish them but it still put me over on my carbs. The filling was low carb, the potato…..not so much. Nice keto dinner later from my prepped meals. I did a small walk & a dance set to help burn up the extra carbs & calories. Yesterdays stats: 1587 Calories In / 2427 Calories Out. 64 Net Carbs. 11,156 Total Steps & 4.73 Total Miles. IF 16:8 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 17 minutes. I danced in a very tight hallway spot since my kitchen is not yet done & the livingroom is full of kitchen boxes. I decided I was going to fit in a dance session, not out of guilt & shame, but out of necessity. It was a better mindset. I ate the potato skins, the bill came in & I paid it with a 44 minute dance set. I always pay my bills on time, so this was no exception. Sample song was “My Generation” by The Who. I can’t wait to get my livingroom & kitchen back!

06/02:

06/03: 199.1 Back on the band wagon and starting today. It’s been a while but checking into this group daily really helped me in the past. So I am back. Kids are away this week so I will use this time to reset my routine and reacquaint myself with the gym.

06/04: 197.1 (-1.3) NICE I know this is a big decrease for 1 day but I am just starting out so I will take it. I am hoping to be in the 195 area by the end of the round. I think that’s a reasonable goal. I am shooting for mini goals with my first one to be less than 190 by mid-July.

I’m ready for June and to get going on another round. I have absolutely no plans of traveling or taking time off of work in this round, so hoping to make some progress and see a new low! Would love to finally see that ever allusive 145.xxx!



06/2 - 148.7 same as yesterday which means I did well on a Saturday. Need to make some progress this month so I am really going to try and be good.

06/3 - 148.7 yeah!! Stayed the same through the weekend. On track today so far and hoping to see 147 something tomorrow. My daughter turns 17 today officially so we are doing enchiladas and cheesecake for dinner. Saving all my calories today for tonight and may only have a bite of the dessert. I am also doing my enchiladas without tortillas so that should save me on some of the carbs.

06/4 - 148.7 Still (4th day in a row), WTH! Stuck to my plan for dinner. I did my enchiladas over a bed of lettuce while everybody else had normal ones and I only had 3 bites of cheesecake without chocolate or caramel sauce versus an entire piece. Did well with water and no alcohol.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/2--207.0 It was actually weird this morning to get up and not go to the gym, I usually go today and workout on my own but since my hip is hurt my my trainer does not want me to work out by myself...I can't wait to go to PT on Tuesday and hopefully get some answers. I did go out for a short walk this morning and will go out again today, but I still need to be careful. Going to work at getting water in today.
6/3--206.7 Don't know if this weight will stick. Didn't drink much water today, I'm just hoping to hold steady with my weight until I figure out what is going on with my hip.
6/4--206.7. I'm surprised this weight stuck around considering I have been eating closer to maintenance the last couple of days. Going to PT today and then working out with trainer.

06/02 ??
06/03 ?? Was out of town from 5/31-6/2 and not sure what my weight was during this time so leaving blank.

06/04 205.4 - Really really discouraged after seeing these numbers. Not even a month ago I was 200 and since then I've just been slowly gaining. This past weekend get away was much needed, but I kind of let myself go with snacks. I had a healthy lunch yesterday, but got hungry and ate a late dinner which was a light meal, but still shouldn't have eaten so late. Today's lunch was a salad and keeping it healthy and light. Going to try and make a nice healthy dinner and get some steps in. I'm motivated, but sometimes feel like I'm not allowed to be healthy. From waking at 5:30am just to make it to work on time and working 7:30-4/4:30pm, and spending the morning driving to work and exhausted by the time I get home around 5pm along with literally every weekend being booked with SOMETHING it's draining and difficult to find time to take care of myself. I was trying to do the gym at least after work, but I don't even have time for that anymore and running on such little sleep is killing me. I need help.
