JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 90

Round 89 wasn’t any better than the last few rounds. I’m going to keep joining though and keep trying. I need to get my diet under control and start doing some form of exercise again. I think I need to update my excel sheet and start tracking my numbers again that was motivating me to see the trends going down.

Day/Weight/Comment
Sept 20 - 184.8 well I am starting 2 pounds lower than the last round.
Sept 21 - 186.8 - that didn’t last.
Sept 22 - 186.2 - I don’t feel well at all and hopefully I can knuckle down after I feel better.

I hope you feel better soon. It is hard to concentrate on losing weight and start an exercise program when not feeling well. At least you are not giving up and that is to your credit. I have been there and done that and I finally got to the point where I just had to start all over again. My weight loss has been good but the exercising just seemed to elude me. So I started a challenge for beginners/sedentary people that need to just start. There are only a couple of us posting but if you would like to join I would love to have you.

Today I started a walking program that starts out slow but over the weeks builds to doing a 10 mile walk. In about a year(once weight is lost and I am back in shape) I want to take my first solo female traveler trip and I want to be able to walk the city/countryside and not give out after walking around the block!

Round 90 – Sept.20 to Sept.30
Female, 5’, 66 years. Goals – finish calorie log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 162.6, GW – 160.8, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Fell off the recording wagon by trying to do it later in the day, also one day of travel - so tracked most calories but did not record. Ended with 162.6 – up .4 from the last round but did see some 161 during the round so I’m hopeful of better things for this one.
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 – 162.4
09/21 – 162 – Warmup exercises in morning and emptying compost bin in the afternoon. Logged all calories - even the not so good overdoing chocolate almond spread. Nice surprise there as I was still within cals. because my breakfast and lunch were low. No LNS. Trying to get more protein earlier in the day so I’m not so hungry in the evening. Finally have a sunny day here so planning lots of outside work.

9/22: 213.8 - Obviously, still got some tweaking to do, lol .. Friday was nutritious and filling, but yesterday was pure tasty and empty!! (on top of little sleep and a drink both nights). But overall, quite happy w/ my progress the past 10 days ("restarted" @ 221.0 on 9/12/19). Having a great time this weekend with no regrets! Will try again w/ better choices in another 7-10 Days.

I’ve removed my goals for this round. I don’t want to call it a goal (at least for now) because that seems too focused on an end point. I’m reframing this journey as an ongoing, lifelong pilgrimage to healthy living with reaching and maintaining a healthier weight as one

HSW - 218.2 (Feb. 2015)
OSW - 151.8 (Aug. 31, 2016)
Restart (R80) - 161 (June 11, 2019)

Weight on 2/2015 - 218.2

Still painting! I just finished my office/studio/woman cave in a gorgeous light/medium lilac. It was paper bag tan before. I am not a dark tan person unless it’s from being outside. Omg, what a difference! Now to reassemble the room. I also painted the door from the kitchen to the laundry room an interesting bright pink and wowser! Nice happy pop of color. The laundry is newly yellow, and the door from there to the garage is bright turquoise. I think my years on the NC coast are showing. All of which is to say that a happy-colored environment makes me happier and less likely to comfort eat. Let the painting continue! Do others of you find that colors in your environment affect your mood and behavior? Oh, and I’m having a group of friends (women) over for a potluck tomorrow to celebrate my new-this-summer garden. Other than the pie I’ve heard is coming, this group leans toward healthy foods. All good! Have a lovely weekend, all!

09/21 - 164
Still haven’t conquered the evening snack monster but I did resist the mid-afternoon urge yesterday. I pulled weeds instead. I went 3 years not sabotaging myself so I don’t understand why I’m finding this so hard now. I can’t believe I’ve gained 30 pounds since last fall. Sigh. But this round I’m not worryingly no as much about weight as about recovering my long-time healthful behaviors. You all help a lot with your inspiring posts. Thank you.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/19 …..195.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

09/20 …..193.2 ….. A water release drop after travel which is always welcomed. 2.4 more pounds to go to get to my lowest weight last round. Tonight is a social gathering at the local fish fry. Also there will be two days of individual travel next week which I so wish I could put off, but can’t. I am already worried about this round but will make every day I possibly can COUNT! Yesterday’s stats: 1249 Calories In / 2596 Calories burned. 20 Net Carbs. 14,589 Total Steps & 6.17 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 52 minutes and needed every drop of it. I wanted to go hiking on a beautiful Michigan fall day but customer service here at the cabins prevented me from going too far. I fit in a 53 minute walk in my neighborhood trying to pick up extra speed. Extra calorie burn 366. Good luck everyone on your personal goals this round! Each & every one of you inspire me!

09/21 …..193.0 ….. Tackling the water gain head on! But TMI potty would really help! Yesterday’s stats: 1439 Calories In / 3056 Calories Out. 37 Net Carbs. 21,403 Total steps & 9.03 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 21 minutes. I walked at moderate pace for 39 minutes, I did low-impact aerobics for 22 minutes and I rigorously cleaned tourist cabins for 53 minutes. Total extra calorie burn was 835.

09/22 …..193.0 ….. Still waiting for TMI. Yesterday was an active day. Stats: 1576 Calories In / 2957 Calories Out. 43 Net Carbs. 18,111 Total Steps & 7.66 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 8 minutes. I hiked on hilly terrain by the river for 45 minutes, I walked for 35 minutes later in the evening at a moderate pace in my neighborhood and I did yard work for 37 minutes. Total extra calorie burn was 715. I had a severe glucose drop yesterday but I resisted the urge to “shovel everything in sight” in (which is the instinct). I ate a couple of rolls of smarties and trusted it would come back up in a few minutes and it did. It raised my carbs more than I’d planned, but was way better that it could have been had I panicked. Weight holding. Hoping for another drop soon.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/20: 225.6 (-1.0)/19.1 (-0.1). This is a great start, particularly given that I was likely right at about maintenance in calories last night. Food quality was good, though. IT'S THE WEEKEND... and instead of going into it hopeful (and a little blind), I'm going to think through a plan. Right now. Gym tonight after work, basketball tomorrow... I don't think I can go to the gym on Sunday, because I'll be trying to fix my car with my dad and doing a couple of things to continue to make my house liveable. Dinner tonight should be light/easy; maybe a lettuce wrap from Cook's Tortas. I'm not sure about tomorrow night (what's happening), but it will probably involve more housework stuff (and, annoyingly, cleaning everything because my parents are coming over on Sunday). Sunday my parents will be here, and my wife wants to go wine-tasting with them. I can focus on reds while I'm there, and I'll try to budget some calories for that. Dinner is almost always the problem. I need to track all day, have my "budget" before I eat, and figure out how the heck to stay within that budget. Work is feeling better; rather than feeling so overwhelmed, I have a bit of a plan, and I'm getting support from my supervisor/management team.

9/21: 223.6 (-2.0)/18.9 (-0.2). So far, so good. Stuck to my plan yesterday. Went with a lettuce wrap instead of bread. Lifted weights and did some HIIT on the elliptical. Basketball is happening this morning, then doing some painting/housework in the afternoon. I'm not sure what's happening for dinner, but I'm feeling focused.

9/22: 223.4 (-0.2)/18.9 (0.0). Basketball yesterday was better than it was a couple of weeks before. My shot was a little off, but I was able to move around better than I could two weeks ago. I finished painting another one of the bedrooms in my house as well. Dinner was slightly out of control, but I'm pretty sure I stayed well within calories (ate back maybe half of my exercise calories). Still feeling focused. My wife and I are eating at home tonight, so I'm expecting my weigh-in tomorrow to be... well... super boring
