JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 97

Round 97 (my 29th)

OSW 382.0
RSW 270.4

11/29 – 269.8 I had a great day yesterday, I stayed on track and under calories, but still enjoyed everything I wanted. It didn’t hurt that we had our meal a little early so I was able to skip lunch and have a little more of a couple things. Now today will be another story because we’re putting up our tree and ordering in pizza. I’ll probably see a temporary bounce, but I’m trying to plan to minimize the potential damage.

11/30 – 271.6 We had pizza and dessert, so I was expecting a bounce up today. I was still a little under maintenance so I know that the bounce will be only be temporary.

12/01 – 271.4

12/02 – 268.8 Back down plus some so I’m pretty happy with this. I was sick yesterday and took it very easy because the sick came with a fever. I’ll see what I think I’m up for today, but with MS I’m always afraid to push too hard when I’m sick, especially when it involves a fever. Either way I am not going to use being under the weather as an excuse to overeat.

12/03 – 268.0 I wanted to wait and be sure that I was at some new lows before saying this…. I’ve lost over half the weight I want to lose!! I have less to lose in front of me than I’ve already lost and that just feels awesome. I know that at some point the losses will slow, but I am prepared for that to happen. I am feeling better this morning and I’m going to try not to overdo things, but I feel like moving!

12/04 – 267.0 Having to take it easy for a couple of days was just no fun and drove me nuts, so I’m happy to up and moving again. It’s the week for nsvs because I have a new one today. A few months ago I got a bunch of clothes and one of the shirts I got didn’t fit despite supposedly being the same size as the others. Well after 30 pounds from when I bought it, it finally fits! I’ve been trying it on every ten pounds and it was always a little too tight in the arms and chest. On top of that I had to get a belt for the pants I bought at that same time because they’re a little loose and keep sliding down. It might be time for new pants again.

12/05 – 266.4 I had a bit of a rough day yesterday with craving one of my previously favorite junk foods. I stayed on track though and didn’t give in despite really wanting to. I think I’ll see about finding a few activities to do that will occupy my mind so I’m not tempted to eat from boredom.

12/06 – 267.0 Not sure what caused the bump, maybe sodium, maybe hormones, maybe scale issues. *shrug* It’s all good and I’ll drop again. I did better with just wanting to eat so it made the day a lot easier.

Ended the last round on a whoosh and starting this round with Thanksgiving weight. I'll be happy just to maintain over the next ten days.

Up 1.2 lbs from Thanksgiving. I'll take that as a win. Some late night snacks pushed me over my calorie goal...those are definitely my downfall when it comes to staying within my goal.

Finished off the last of the pre-Thanksgiving leftovers. Time to get creative with the turkey and mashed potatoes!

Am I done eating leftovers yet?

Found out yesterday my sister is moving to the other end of the country in two months. Most of me is happy for her - she'll be living with one of her best friends and (other than college) she's never lived anywhere besides our parents house. I'm sad too though...I just moved back to our home state six months ago after going to grad school 12 hours away. It's been really nice living only two hours away from her...and now it's her turn to leave the state.

12/03 186.2
Calories: over by 275
Didn't do a great job of logging my meals so the above is definitely more of an estimation than other days. Worked late and didn't feel like cooking so I went out for dinner.

Calories: over by ??
Scale has been going the wrong way the last few days. I know I need to get better at saying no to the little voice in my head. Finished off the last of the mashed potatoes today, and now I'm off to Pinterest to find other ideas for the turkey.

12/05 187.4
Calories: under by 729
That calorie count hardly seems like it can be accurate but as much as I rack my brain I can't figure out what I might have missed. Made a turkey chowder with Thanksgiving leftovers, which turned out a little thinner than I wanted but otherwise good.

Day/Weight/Comment

11/29: 284.5 lbs (+1.3) … Up a bit here as I ate late the night previous. I was really good through Thanksgiving, but ate light and ended up famished around 11pm.

11/30: DNW

12/01: 283.0 lbs (-1.5) … I was a little surprised to see this. I’ve been kind of lazy this weekend and my eating habits haven’t been great. Below maintenance, but above my budget. New low though, so I’m pretty happy.

12/02: 283.6 lbs (+0.6) … Had a really good day today. We got about 2 feet of snow, so I wound up taking a day off to watch my daughter, who had a snow day. Played outside with her for about 2 hours and was very pleased to see how well I was able to keep up with her… even with extra snow shoveling to build her a mountain of snow to play on!

12/03: 282.7 lbs (-0.9) … Another new low. Despite being a bit more lax in my eating habits for the past week, I’m still losing weight. Going to try to tighten that back up now that my time off is over. I also want to push my activity a bit more, been lazy on that front as well, outside of snow shoveling.

12/04: 283.8 lbs (+1.1) … an uptick due to some ill-advised late night snacking near midnight while I was taking care of a sudden home repair issue. Really doesn’t mean much, thankfully. Very happy this morning, I’m wearing a size XL shirt for the first time in maybe 8-9 years.

12/05: 283.3 lbs (-0.5) … partial recovery. Had a good gym session last night, feeling good this morning.

12/06: 282.8 lbs (-0.5) … back where I was a couple days ago! I’m not expecting any major drops between now and the end of the round, so I’ll likely not hit my goal. As long as I lose something I’ll be happy enough.

My Plan

This round is winding down. Looks like we're all getting close to our targets. I met mine this morning and now if I can keep it going for the weekend I'll be happy. Good luck everyone!

69 y/o female and 5'7" still (luckily)! I started this journey on Sept 17 2013 and lost 45 lbs the first year, then another 15 over the next 2 years. Unfortunately the last couple of years I've put that 15 back on. No excuses though. My goal is to lose 10 lbs from 165 to 155 and then re-evaluate whether I think I can get back down to 150.

Started R95 at 165 lbs
Ended R95 at 162.7 lbs

R97 CW: 162.9 lbs (on Thanksgiving morning)
R97 GW: 161 lbs

11/29: 163.6 Not a bad post-Thanksgiving bump. Off to the gym and some Christmas shopping
11/30: 163.1 Had sushi yesterday as a break from furniture shopping but managed to stay in control. Still carrying a bit of Thanksgiving extras but hopefully by Monday that will be gone
12/01: 162.6 On the way down again and hopefully I can keep that trajectory. Off to the gym for back and biceps
12/02: 161.8 Slowly but surely I'm going down
12/03: 161.5 Making progress. Lots going on here today so just a quick walk and some hip PT
12/04: 161.2 Still going down and feel confident I'll hit my goal this round. A rest day here but doing hip PT
12/05: DNW, I completely forgot to weigh when I woke up this morning and since I weigh at approximately the same time everyday it seems unproductive to weight now. Will see where I am tomorrow.
12/06: 160.8 A consistent drop since the day after Thanksgiving. A big workout at the gym this morning as well

Day/Weight/Comment

11/29: 217.4 (+1.2)/18.2 (+0.1). Thanksgiving. You get me every year. I want to say that you got me "less" this year than usual, though. My wife is out doing Black Friday nonsense, so I'm going to the gym and doing some work at home.

11/30: 218.2 (+0.8)/18.3 (+0.1).

12/1: 219.6 (+1.4)/18.5 (+0.2).

12/2: 221.2 (+1.6)/18.6 (+0.1).

12/3: 222.2 (+1.0)/18.7 (+0.1).

12/4: 220.6 (-1.6) /18.6 (-0.1). I kind of felt this coming (the past few days). My work $#!^storm has stretched out longer than I expected, and it has been taking its toll on my appetite (and my body). I was home from work and in bed the past two days with intense migraines. I'm back at work today, and I spoke with my supervisor this morning to address some of the issues I have been experiencing. I feel a little bit better. I'm trying not to feel like I took a HUGE step backwards regarding my health/weight. I started to "stop the bleeding" last night, so that's a good thing. I adjusted my goal for the round to something reasonable.

12/5: 220.4 (-0.2)/18.5 (-0.1). I went to the gym last night with my wife, but my appetite is still getting the best of me. I had lunch out (on plan, but more portion-wise than I'm used to having) and dinner out (okay calorie-wise, but not so great regarding food quality). Still, yesterday was better than any of my four blank days, so I'll take it. The GREAT news is that I get to play basketball on Saturday. I am thinking that I need to come up with a holiday replacement for my basketball fix (we're on the Los Angeles School District schedule, which has significant downtime in November/December every year), at least for next year.

12/6: 220.0 (-0.4)/18.5 (0.0). I had a great day eating-wise through lunch, but in the afternoon my wife informed me that my brother-in-law was making an impromptu visit with his 7yo daughter and 1.5yo son (my godson). Ten minutes before he showed we found out that he was bringing pizza (after my wife had gone shopping for something to make for dinner, which was already in process). I kept it under control (mostly), and I feel like I'm continuing to improve, but I still don't feel like I'm all the way back, if that makes sense. I'll be going to the gym tonight by myself, and I'll be playing basketball tomorrow morning. If nothing else, I'm pretty confident I'll be able to get under 220.0 for the round. Side note, I "feel" like every time I say something like that (a "positive" prediction), I'm foreshadowing some sort of disaster, or at least a derailment. Rather than erasing what I wrote, I'll just try to continue to be mindful of what I'm eating and how I'm feeling.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29: 228.6 - took some time off but I'm back and luckily didn't gain any weight!

11/30: 228.2 - slowly dropping. I plan on hitting it hard again this month. My goal is to drop 10 lbs this December and start 2020 in the 220's 😁

12/01: 229.0 - had a heavy dinner. I'm not worried though. I've gotten used to the fluctuations as long as I keep doing things right the scale will reflect it eventually.

12/02: NWT - I was in a hurry and forgot. I'll take my weight tomorrow.

12/03: NWT

12/04: 225.6 - A pleasant surprise 😁

12/05: 225.6 - Holding steady. I got my workout in yesterday and I'm going to try to get myself motivated to work out today too.

12/06: 226.2 - had a heavy meal last night and didn't get my workout in. I'll try again today.

Day/Weight/Comment:
RSW 132

11/29 -- 133 Not too bad a Thanksgiving bump.
11/30 -- 132.5
12/01 -- 133 Carbs are getting me! I ate at maintenance level calories this week, but lots of exercise should have put me at a slight loss. Now I have to see what happens if I shun the carbs for several days!
12/02 -- 132
12/03 -- 133
12/04 -- 133

12/05 -- 133 Been doing a lot of walking which is good. I've been losing a lot of hair, which is stressful...and hasn't helped with the eating. I actually ate pretty well yesterday, but today as handfuls of hair came out, chocolate went in. Total calories were probably still fine as I walked 5.5 miles in the morning with one friend and 3.5 miles in the afternoon with another friend. But the sweets will definitely mask any possible progress! The question....can I keep the hair until after church Sunday, book club Monday, and brunch Tuesday. Or do I reveal the cue ball! Not sure that casually tossing my hair over my shoulder is a good idea at this point. It might just keep on going...

12/06 -- 133.5 Went to a church bazaar yesterday with a friend. Bought some delicious candy. Um. And lost a lot of hair. Clearly yesterday's chocolate won out over the walking. Not sure this round is going to show too much progress for me!
