Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 107

Round 107 (Round 1 for me.)
Female, 5' 7"
Age 52
Central Ohio

Background: Had a 40 lb. weight loss (228 lbs to 188 lbs) from June 2014 to June 2015. Added fruit to the low carb plan, hit a long plateau and stopped "dieting" and tracking in March 2016. Fast forward 4 years.. 30 lbs gained back. Ready to get back on track.

Round Starting Weight: 211.0 lbs
Round Goal Weight: 208.0 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 150.0 lbs

Sunday, 3/08: 211.0/ Beginning of Week 2 and down 7 lbs from 217.

Monday, 3/09: 211.8/ Slight gain. Body may be stabilizing after losing too rapidly in the first week. Possibly muscle gain. 🤷

Tuesday, 3/10: 210.8/ Excited to have found a local cafe with a drive thru with healthy food.

Wednesday, 3/11: 211/ Need to step up the water.

Thursday, 3/12: 211/ My weight isn't budging despite hitting steps and calorie goal. Adjusted my round goal weight to losing 3 pounds instead of 5.

Friday, 3/13: 210/ Finally some progress! I've been consistently under my caloric goals and started C25K yesterday. (It kicked my butt.) I may need to repeat days several times before moving up. I think not doing that before is why I've tried and failed so many times.

Saturday, 3/14: 212.6/ Wow! Took the day off yesterday. Short on steps and over on calories and boom, big gain. 😞

Day/Weight/Comment
03/08 - 361.0 - A surprising little bounce back. Also, I realized my heartrate was too high while I was exercising (cardio vs. fat burn). Now I'm using my TickrFit to live monitor my heartrate.
03/09 - 363.0 - The time change really screwed me up over the weekend. Well... the weekend is over and it's time to get back to it.
03/10 - 362.2 - There we go, but in the right direction again. Sill using the eliptical, but keeping the heartrate between 100 to 112 (70% of my max). Gonna try some kettlebell later.
03/11 - 362.0 - Still going down. I'd like to see sub-360 before the end of this round. This might be my first plateau. I've just gotta persevere.
03/12 - 361.0 - And the beat goes on. Went to the gym (Planet Fitness) this morning and the place was very empty. Coronavirus anyone? I take a wipe in with me to use before I use the eliptical, then use their wipes at the end. When you've got a senior parent (82 y.o. mom) with respiratory problems, you take precautions.
03/13 - 360.4 - I tried the scale @ Planet Fitness this morning just before coming home and using my own. It showed me 2.6 lbs. heavier. The trend down continues. And an interview on Monday, so hopefully...
03/14 - 360.8 - Won't be using that scale @ Planet Fitness in the near future... it's now CLOSED. I packed my gym bag this morning and checked my email just before I left. Email from PF that, per the Governor of PA, all essential businesses are closed for 2+ weeks. I guess I'll be walking outside now. I hope my knees hold up. Of course, I could always blame this on my decision to order a pizza and cheesy bread yesterday. Figures...

Day/Weight/Comment
03/08: 180.4 (Yesterday was such a busy day! I made some banana bread in the morning when I woke up, my hubby and I went grocery shopping, I bought a brand new beautiful couch with electrical recliners and a dining table with chairs, we went to Best Buy to buy the Nintendo Switch, we took my father in law out to dinner since he officially moved to Florida this morning. Very very busy. Today marks the first time my hubby and I will be alone without family. Everyone moved to Florida in the past 6 months and my hubby and I have decided that LA is our home. It’ll be a weird change but a good one.)

03/09: 181.8 (I did a long 70 minute workout yesterday and ate at a deficit. We’ll see how the rest of this week goes!)

03/10: 179.2 (Trust the process! I literally pushed so hard in my Zumba class last night and it paid off! Made a dinner that fit into plan and had a good night of sleep.)

03/11: 178.2 (Happy to see it continuing to go down! I did some weight lifting and spinning yesterday. I’m already below my Friday weigh in weight.)

03/12: 178.0 (I did a very tough hill spinning workout last night that definitely started a waterfall of sweat. It was the toughest thing I’ve done in awhile! I ate to plan and had a relaxing night after the gym since the hubby made dinner.)

03/13: 177.4 (I haven’t seen the 177’s since September 2019! I only have 1.4 pounds to go to make my lowest weight. I’m guessing a combination of not taking steroids anymore and maybe a change in my workout is causing the drops? Who knows. Perseverance pays off!)

03/14: 178.2 (Gained a little from that vegetarian Chipotle burrito I had last night! I’ve been stressing out about buying groceries since the stores have bare shelves in my town. We’ll see how it goes!)

General goal is to maintain below 150, and trend slowly downward to 145.
The downward trend is a bit slow for my liking, but at least it's is still downward.
Looking forward:
Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story: 2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/07 …..200.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/08 …..201.0 ….. The exact correct food, the exact wrong quantity. I worked up quite an appetite cleaning out the shed next door. More boxes to go through today. Also I was booked out last night in the cabins so I am going to clean 75% of them today and the rest tomorrow so I can finish the shed project and stay caught up on the cabin laundry. An unusually beautiful day here. However, I don’t think I have been quite this tired in YEARS. Clock change really got me.

03/09 …..200.2 ….. Sunday is tourist cabin cleaning day. I did 75% of them and it’s laundry. The other 25% will be done today. School closed so no walking. Temps better outside but still too much ice so I didn’t risk it, especially when I already fell pretty hard last week. (no lasting injuries, thank Goodness). Worked on shed cleaning and burning again also. Grabbed at convenient food all day but have some pretty good and healthy choices in the house so not a total disaster. Overall, 71 Carbs & 1261 calories. I slept well last night but not enough water. I’ll work on that today. I’m getting in lots of steps & miles and good calorie burn so I just need to tighten my belt another notch.

03/10 …..199.8 ….. I thought I would have a HUGE WHOOSHING drop today because I really did great yesterday. But no TMI probably didn’t help. There is such conflicting information on whether “what time” you eat your meals makes a difference or if calories are just calories in a 24 hour period, no matter what. I’m curious because I read a lot of posts in many challenges about late meals. My last meal of the day is always about 2:00 A.M. I am usually asleep by 4:00 A.M. and get in the 4.5 to 5.5 hour range of sleep per night. My last meal is planned on purpose now to keep my blood sugars level (stop the severe drops) and to also prevent binge eating triggered by hunger. Yesterday I walked over 21,000 steps, over 9 miles, burned over 3200 calories. I ate 1383 calories and 32 carbs with both being in my perfect range. All of it was healthy food. My water intake was over 65 oz. Come on Whoosh! Any thoughts, anyone, on the timing of our meals?

03/11 …..199.8 ….. The drops in weight are leveling off apparently. Today I have taken a self-imposed rest day from practically everything. I am working hard at maintaining my diet but doing very little movement/exercise or work. I just need a mental break from all the “projects”. I hope the rest of the night goes as well as it has today in regards to my food plan. I’m just tired.

03/12 …..199.8 ….. 3 days running on the weight but all is well. Staying on course with eating plan. No walking or major exercise yesterday. A much lower step count but accomplished a few things at home, though I seriously tried not to be responsible for much of anything. I just needed some rest from responsibility to EVERYTHING. I’m afraid it was constantly interrupted and so I don’t feel I got what I needed, but I’ll try again another day. It’s hard to both live and work at home (my home sits on the same property as my motel and cabins that rent nightly). Staying the course.

03/13 …..200.2 ….. A small indiscretion leads to a gain as easy as 1+1=2. It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out, but sometimes I’m just downright stupid! I am totally bummed about the news last night that all the schools are closed. There goes my walking! I’m keeping fingers crossed for good weather soon, but for the past five years it has snowed into April and May (with a few nicer days here and there). Last April our biggest snow was 10” overnight. If it weren’t for all my kids and grandkids living here I would be somewhere else! I stuck to diet yesterday except for one cupcake. I walked at the school (not knowing it would be the last time for awhile!). I’m going to try to stay positive and not let this news derail me or my plans. Stay strong Donna. Stay strong!

03/14 …..199.9 ….. Yesterday was an okay day. Diet plan on the higher end of acceptable so the scale did okay today but probably could have been better. I missed walking. My son’s weigh in is great! He is down another 3 pounds. Go Johnny!

Hello all😀 I haven't been on here this past week because everyday I've had to be out in search of goods and food. Every store in my area is lacking in something because of the panic buying. I usually buy groceries twice a week. It took me all week to get what I need and I'm just doing normal shopping. All the public schools in Maryland have shut down now for 2 weeks starting Monday. All libraries closed, at least one museum that aI know of, the zoo. I'm sure next week will bring more craziness. I've been having a lot of underlying stress concerning my older sister and younger brother and my two young families.

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.

I have March 10th as my hip surgery date...much better than April!
