JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 91

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 91 (round 23 for me ) I'm in for another round, not quite as much holiday weight lost last round as I'd like due to my own sabotage towards the end, I am always so annoyed at myself after a binge, don't know why I let food rule my life!
Onwards and upwards in a new round - Just 20 days to go before our cheeky pre-Brexit break on The Algarve, must get these extra pounds off for then ! I can if I stay strong !!

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

Round goal – lose rest of holiday gain; be mindful of what I eat & drink and keep walking.

Day/Weight/Comment

09/ 133.8 – yippee a good drop for the start of the round, only managed 1.88 miles yesterday due to the persistent rain, but stayed on plan (difficult on Sunday with roast dinner), but only 23 calories over and all other macros in green. See if I can lose another pound by the end of the challenge.

?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE. ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ

Goal : to run the 30 Day Shred programme everyday (it’s fun and structured).

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 - n/a - homemade bodyweight programme
10/01 - day 1 - Oof, I forgot about the arm exercises. But did it! And it feels good to finally get back into the groove of things.
10/02 - day 2 - Woke up sore from yesterday, which I liked :-)
Ok, day two was nice, slightly easier than day one. And it seemed shorter as well.
10/03 - day 3 - yikes, only did half the session. As if my heart isn’t in it anymore... I feel like I get bored so easily these days. But I must say I had a long day as well, and did the session when my energy levels were low.
I will do my session in the morning tomorrow. No sad feelings :-)

OSW 171.0 lbs
RSW 157.6 lbs
RGW 156.6 lbs
EGW 140.0 bls

Past Rounds:
Goals
1 - Keep to 1200 cal (except run days 1400cal)
2 - Run 3x week
3 - Water 1.5l
4 – Core 30 day challenge

Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:

09/30 Start Weight 157.6
10/01 156.0 lbs (-1.6) 13,775 steps, 4.15km run/walk, core challenge 02/30 ok. I was not expecting such a loss, especially after having a good drop the day before! I’m really pleased as I was stuck going up and down in the 157.x for two rounds and it was starting to get me really down! Also, with my running I’ve started doing a 30-day body core challenge app (planks), to stop my abs from wobbling around when I run lol
10/02 158.0 lbs (+2.0) 6.461, core challenge 03/30 done… Ok so that was a shock, I had guessed that it would go back up a bit but that was more than a bit pfff I ate well until 6pm when we got home and only had time to eat a couple of cheese sandwiches before the math teacher showed up for my DD and I didn’t have time to make myself anything “normally” healthy. Then I had the bad idea to top if off with a piece of cake. I had thought I could squeeze in a run but that didn’t happen either. Anyway, today is another day, healthier dinner is planned and a run this evening.

10/03 – 157.4 (-0.6) 1224 cal, 15.455 step, Core 04/30 ok, 3.93km W7R1 ok. Yesterday was a good day, I went to the gym and used the treadmill which I found quite hard but I admit it has advantages and disadvantages: on the one hand, I found it boring which is the main disadvantage and also I was very hot in that stuffy gym but on the other hand I could easily increase speed incrementally and track my progress. Unfortunately I don’t have good balance therefore I was quite stressed about falling off and ending up on one of those silly treadmill failure videos! Food-wise I’ve realized I’m better when I don’t eat in the evening after a run so I just had an apple. I am seeing a big trend for my weight loss on days when I run compared to those days when I don't so I'm slowly going to try increasing exercise on the "no-run" days. This morning I did part of a Pilates video to get me going as well as the core app.

I wasn't as focused in R90 as I had hoped to be hence the minimal loss.
My plan for R91 is to re-focus, log and track properly and see a loss of 1-2lb....

Start Weight 138.0lb

09/30 - 142.4lb (+4.4lb) Hosted my Dad's birthday dinner last night so good food, good company and a couple of glasses of fizz to celebrate. So a temporary blip on the scale as I know I didn't eat enough to put on 4lb but due mainly due to more carbs, late evening eating and sodium. Food all planned for today and aiming to drink plenty of water ..... All is good, feeling positive and a new month starts tomorrow too! Happy Monday

10/01 - 139.6lb (-2.8lb) Glad I don't only weigh once a week as would have been very demoralised yesterday - this is why I love daily weighing and learning to understand the effect different foods have on the scale every day. Another good food day planned and a gym PT session tonight and my water bottle is at my side

10/02 - 138.8lb (-0.8lb) Will take this quite happily. All heading in the right direction, actually been logging my food properly, staying in allowance and drinking my water and amazingly the scale goes down ..... Who would have thought it eh ?

10/03 - 138.3lb (-0.5lb) Still heading in the right direction so all is good. Decent food day planned and gym tonight so all good and feeling positive

I'm in. messed around the last round and bounced up and down the same few pounds. Aim this round is to get into the 139's.

30th Sept: 142.5. Had parents round for dinner yesterday. There was apple tart and ice cream. And cider Back to routine today.
1st Oct: 139.75. I don't deserve this low number today. Yesterday was AWFUL. 3 Krispy Kreme donuts. Crisps. Chocolate. Digestives with real butter. Apple tart. Trifle. No exercise. Just hit my steps that's about it. BUT this low weight has given me a pep up and I'm determined for today. Piloxing class tonight. Really hope I can keep the weight in the 130's.
2nd Oct: 139.25. Absolutely estatic with this. Stayed within calories, did 18k steps and a piloxing class. This is the lowest I've been in 5 years. I'd love to get more comfortable in the 130'3 but TOM is this weekend so lets see.
3rd: Oct: 138.5. WOW! Absolutely thrilled. Yesterday was a good day and went for a walk with my mam and dogs before it got dark. Its getting dark early here now - about 7:15pm and as I live in the country, my evening walks are numbered. I can drive to the nearest town for a walk but its an hour round trip. Piloxing class tonight although we are expecting storm Lorenzo to hit so it could be cancelled.

Result:

09/30:203.4. I will be pretty strict for this week. Hoping to lose 10lbs in the next 3.5 weeks before vacation
10/01: 204.8. This is directly the result of poor choices. It is not real weight gain & will go away.
10/02: 204. Better day yesterday but still a bit out of control. Today will be better since I had better sleep & will go to yoga after work.
10/03:202.6 getting there but still not where I want my eating to be. I cooked last night & that should help me stick to my goals a little better

R90 SW 194.8 EW 190.8 (-4)

Day/Weight/Comment

09/30 -191.9- I used to panic if I had an uptick in weight. I wanted a fast solution and I took even a small fluctuation as a failure on my part which then led to failure on my part. Now I know fluctuations are normal and I am doing well if I trend downward over time. Stick to the program and it will work!

10/01 -191.6- I went walking yesterday and it is so hot here in KY, still in the 90's. Come on fall temps!

10/02 -190.7- Keep going! You are worth it!

10/03 -190.1- My back and legs hurt after walking last night. I swear I think it is the hot temps that are to blame. Thankfully, the weather is about to turn fall-ish around here!

My first round! Not sure what to expect

Goals:
Reduce calorie intake to < 1500
Maintain my exercise plan - 3 x 90 minute swims, 2 x 3 mile outdoor walks, and 2 x 2 miles walk/jog treadmill
Keep the carbs as low as possible < 30 grams

I have been on a plateau for two months and am ready to make changes!


Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 - cut the cream out of my coffee, came in at 1519 calories, 42 net carbs and got in a 90 minute swim
10/01 - 102.9 k
10/02 - 101.7 k - (probably water loss but I will take it!) 1735 calories, 29 net carbs and walked 3 miles outdoors, felt super bloated at the end of the day but woke up feeling good. Here is to another good day!
10/03 - 101.8 k - 1616 calories, 24 net carbs (feeling good about that!), 90 minute swim but I could have pushed myself harder in the water. Happy about : no cream in coffee, not eating between meals, and workouts are on track. Need Improvement: I am going to work to keep calories lower by 100 per day and measure food more precisely - think my portions are slowly creeping up! Been a good week so far!!!!

OSW: 164.2
GW: 140 (will adjust if needed once I reach this)

Goal this round: Get back on track with eating and water and workouts (even if just taking walks regularly). Lose the excess weight I've put on the last month (~6lbs so maybe not all of it) before BF gets home from AZ (tentatively scheduled for 17 Oct but could be as early as 11 Oct) and to feel better about myself by my birthday (9 Oct)

10/03 - 160.1 - Scale flashed 159.8 a few times taunting me with my 150s again. I can't believe that 145-150 used to be my stuck place and now it seems I keep going to the 160s. Until late 2018/early 2019, I'd never been in the 160s before. Ah well, I'm on a downward trend. I ended up at my neighbors playing Rummikub until it was too late so we 4 split a large pizza. I got veggies on mine and only had my two allocated slices (though I could've eaten way more) to stay within calories. The wonderful thing about splitting food with others! Wondering if that 159.8 number was telling me what I would've had if I ate my salmon and veggie dinner instead? But, I needed lunch for today and I was helping pay for the pizza. Hopefully I can squeeze in a workout today, despite it being so cold (finally hit 40*F here) and I won't want to go outside, even just to walk the quarter mile to our on-site gym at work. If not, I'll bundle up and take the dog for a walk tonight, weather permitting.
