JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 96

CamandJarvis · November 2019

@beachwalker99 - So glad she's okay and has a wonderful mom like you to take her out for that TLC

@lalabank Break up with 150! That's glorious! I think I'm gonna reframe it that way. I need to break up with 160 since I keep leaving it and going right back when I'm lonely

Day/Weight/Comment

11/19: 159.0-Needed an active rest, did full body body stretching, wow that felt good-need to make it a habit.
11/20: 159.0-30 minutes rowing. Stretching hammies and hip flexors has done wonders for my knees, even my feet feel better.
11/21: 159.8-Always disappointing to see a bump up, but learning not to give it much credence, which is progress too.

Goal Weight: 284.9 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

11/19: 286.4 lbs (-0.5), 17,005 steps … back down under the -100 mark again. I actually ate at maintenance yesterday (well, within budget if you count the exercise calories, I tend not to) and didn’t fast through breakfast as I usually do. I had a heck of an appetite. I stepped onto the scale fully expecting to see an increase, but I saw a small loss instead. Pretty happy with that.

11/20: 285.1 lbs (-1.3), 13,671 steps … a new low. Feeling pretty good this morning!

11/21: 283.8 lbs (-1.3) … another new low! This is already a very good week, hopefully I can hang onto this progress. Today is the last day of our step challenge at work, and my team is still holding onto the lead (and has done so for the past week and a half). I’m averaging 15,000 steps per day since 11/4, which is kind of insane for me considering my ~6-8k average before that. I’m committing to 20,000+ steps today just to make sure we cement our lead and have no surprises in the morning.

Back for Round 96
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)

Intro:

Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.

Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.

Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.

Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.

A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.

Round Stats

R95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0

Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.

R96 Challenges: I'm hosting Thanksgiving for the first time in several years. Son is truly invested in "tradition" - meaning high sugar, high carbs. I'm going to have to plan a menu that balances that with healthy. And, I'm going to have to balance "treat" with discipline for myself.

R96 SW: 145.3 (11/18 This is a whoosh, I'm expecting a small spike.)
R96 GW: 144.0 (Should be doable even with a spike.)

11/19 (T) 144.7 Ok. I'm in shock. No bounce? I've been on plan, so maybe I've busted through? It's been a full week since I tweaked the plan to add fruit to breakfast and a handful of spinach at lunch. And it's been a good exercise week. Only one spike - and that was a sodium bloat. So maybe ...

11/20 (W) 144.7 Still no spike. Dare I believe it?! Good day yesterday. Ate within plan. Got my strength exercises in early. Mornings are proving better for me than evenings - and possibly more effective. I've been tied to the desk this week, so my steps (and overall calories burn on Fitbit) are down. Will need to party Attention to that and start moving more.

11/21 (T) 145.3 There it is. And more of a bounce than spike

Missed workout yesterday and ate later than normal, violating my no calories after 8pm. I'm working on a deadline at work - looking forward to December when things settle down to normal crazy.

Yesterday was a gorgeous day and I went for I lovely walk along one of our three rivers. It was inspiring. And I’m happy to be starting a new round — I’m finally feeling focused and determined to stick to the healthier me plan. Many thanks to you lovely people for providing inspiration, example, and a safe place to slip up for a while.

11/20 - 168.8
I did well with eating goals yesterday though I did have a small glass of Bailey’s last night. I had a bagel this morning — and thoroughly enjoyed it! But have stuffed portobellos planned for lunch and veggie dinner. Feeling pretty much on track.

11/21 - 171.6
WHAAAAA? Clearly that’s not actual weight gain! I did eat dinner (all vegetarian dishes at master gardener meeting) later than usual, and some of the food was a bit salty and I didn’t get enough water yesterday, but really? 3 pounds??? I expect it to be gone tomorrow! Jeesh!

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m 53.

Gym weight lifting class 2 x week
Walk +/- 7 miles 3 x week
Drink plenty of water, alcohol on weekends only.
11/18-172 Got my big walk in today and was within my calories.
11/19-170-What a difference it makes to be eating right and walking instead of salty food and traveling. Glad to be home.
11/20-169-I’m off to the gym this morning, will make a ground turkey meatloaf. I’m hoping to stay on track.

11/21-167-The gym was a full body workout with cardio, rough but glad I did it. My meatloaf was the best ever-I fried two onions before adding it to the mix. I’ll get a big walk in today.

I’m glad you are all here. I have my coffee with you each morning !! 😊☕️

End Weight from last round - 176.4

11/19 - 175.4 Good day yesterday however very little exercise. I did make a few laps around the office to get in some extra steps - better than nothing. Need to find my fitbit, dust it off, fire it up and get those step numbers up. Gallbladder acting up. I've had occasional attacks but not often enough to cause concern. I'm taking ibuprofen and hoping it goes back to sleep soon lol

11/20 - 174.6 Stayed on course eating healthy. Back to pre-weekend weight and down a bit. The gallbladder pain is gone. It is sunny and a bit cool but it should be a beautiful day. Feeling thankful, optimistic and motivated

11/21 - 175.4 Late night salty snack - pretzels and wheat thins. I knew better but I was under on my calories and had a stressful day so told myself it was okay (NOT). I need to stock more healthy go to late night snacks.
