Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 107

@deepwoodslady I am so sorry to hear all of that. I haven't been to the store since Fri - it was a zoo. I don't have babies so that just adds so much stress. It is really laying bare IMHO how selfish people are - the "me" attitude. I say that because I have seen videos posted of people running into Costco at opening and buy not 1 but 4 and 5 pallets of TP, so that the people behind them get nothing. Have we always been this crappy (no pun intended) or is it just me asleep at the wheel? Makes me sick. Hang in there! It's going to be a long several months.

Had a successful last round and I’m hoping to keep it up! Good luck everyone!

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!)

03/15: 179.4 (I took another day off from working out and had my couch and dining table delivered. It’s so nice to get brand new furniture! I also went to the grocery store at 6am and finally got groceries for the next two weeks. I’m grateful I got some essentials.)

Day | Weight | Change | Comment

03/08 | 133.0kg | No change | Did get a bit of exercise in on Saturday, but didn't make the best food & drink choices.

03/09 | 133.0kg | No change | Relaxing weekend with the family. My little one started walking a few steps at a time this weekend so that's super exciting! He's 15 months so a little behind with it, but he's a big boy at 31.5 inches tall (half my height already!) and around 30lbs so I'm not surprised as he had more weight to lift and a higher centre of gravity to work with! We've known for a long time that he can do it, he just lacked the confidence so we've been working with him to build that up. So sweet to see his little face light up when he realised he was doing it himself!

03/10 | 133.0kg | No change | Actually tracked my calories yesterday and wound up under target! Drank 2L of water, should have been more though. Ate a very later dinner as we had a couple of parcels for our neighbour so he popped over to collect them and stayed for ~3 hours - he didn't leave until after 11pm and we still hadn't had dinner! So it was a quick bit of cheese & vegemite on toast for me, then off to bed around midnight which is going to make today hard due to a short sleep and unsatisfying dinner (it's 8am and I'm already ravenous). Will drink a lot of water today and get some exercise in since my planned ride on the stationary bike also didn't happen last night. On the bright side, I only ate half as much toast as I 'normally' would have at night (small victory, but also probably why I'm so hungry this morning). Onward & upward.

03/11 | 133.2kg | +0.2kg | Over target on calories and didn't do any exercise. I was just exhausted from the late night the night before and couldn't convince myself to do any exercise. Calories would have been a lot better if I had jumped on the bike while waiting for dinner to cook instead of eating a snack...
My little one has developed a cold (I think) so hoping I don't get that now too. Poor little guy, it's affecting his sleep so badly. We put the vapouriser on in his room last night and I think that helped.

03/12 | 133.3kg | +0.1kg | Still heading in the wrong direction. Did have a good day yesterday though - came in under calories (despite having takeaway burgers for dinner, I was able to limit myself to only a handful of chips). Also got 30 mins of exercise in, between walking at work and a quick 3-mile ride on my stationary bike before bed. Overall a good day yesterday.

03/13 133.0kg | -0.3kg | That’s better. Noticing a trend that I seem to gain in the earlier part of the week and then drop quickly at the end. Probably a result of my more relaxed approach on weekends. Overall trending down so that’s ok for now.

03/14 | 133.1kg | +0.1kg | Day off from work yesterday, spent the morning going through my little one’s clothes and packing away the too-small stuff. Relaxing afternoon and then did a quick 3 miles on the stationary bike before treating myself to a nice texting bath with a lime & coconut bath bomb and a green matcha face mask. Felt heavenly afterwards and had a good night of sleep! Did eat too much at lunch yesterday, but also drank a lot of water so overall an average day.

03/15 | 133.1kg | No change | relaxed weekend at home, though I did have to get some groceries so that was an adventure. Our town finally got a shipment of TP - some off-brand, 2-ply stuff but better than nothing! We actually don’t need any right now as it’s something I always keep spare of, so I did the right thing and left what little there was for others. We still have some items like pasta and rice on the shelves as well so hopefully it doesn’t get too bad here. Unfortunately my little guy is teething again so I needed to get some children’s paracetamol. We have two pharmacies in town. The first had none of the brand I trust, only an off brand so I grabbed some just in case. The other had one bottle left of our usual brand so I grabbed that one too. They have no idea when they’ll be able to restock and have run out of things like antibiotics because the ingredients come from China. Hopefully there’s an end to all this soon and things can go back to normal. Stay safe everyone.

03/16 | 132.8kg | -0.2kg | Actual scale dropped over a kg since yesterday, though I'm not really sure why. I kept up my water and didn't overeat too much yesterday, but I wouldn't have thought that would make that much difference. I suppose I must have been retaining water for a while! I don't think I'll make my round goal this time, but hopefully still post a loss anyway.

I’ve been fight a dripping nose for months. No fever. I’ve been staying home just because of a runny nose. Hard to know what to do. Stay save everyone!

03/14 165.4lbs, 1,028 Calories, 12 Carbs, 8 Net Carbs, 9,296 steps. Good day. Still have my running nose but no fever. They have closed schools here so Grandkids will be coming to our home. We live on a farm so if the weather would be nice there is lots for them to do. Unfortunately it snowed today and they are calling for rain on Tuesday. My husband might have to move some machinery so they can play basketball in the machine shad.
All will work out.

03/15 164.6 lbs, 🤗
It took 14 days to get back to this weight after my vacation. My mistake was not trying to stick to my diet on vacation. Learned how easy it is to gain weight if you don’t stick to your plan. Saying that I do believe most of it was water. When you up your carbs the water weight comes back 1st.

03/16 164.6 1,041 Calories, 15 Carbs, 12 Net Carbs, and 3,431 steps. Today is a sad day for me. Last day to visit my mom at the nursing home. No visitors until further notice. I have to say and agree it’s one of the best ways to keep her safe. The virus is officially here in our community. To everyone stay safe and be caring citizens to all.

03/15 391.0 (0.0) It has been a while - but I finally made it! Not sure when I will catch up but it will probably not be this round With COVID19, everything is super crazy -- especially at work!! I re-joined WW Feb 29th. They sent me an email with an offer I could not refuse. Even that is crazy now. No more meetings for now until further notice. My last meeting was Saturday, where I lost 6.2 pounds on their scales. I don’t want to ever see 400 on the scale again. Mines or WW. I can’t visit my Dad in nursing home. So much more and I know I have missed a lot with you guys! If I get quarantined, I may have plenty of time to catch up!! PLEASE PLEASE STAY SAFE and stay off the streets. Self-quarantine when possible and/or go out as less as possible if you have to go out. Even if you are young and not in the high-risk category. Because it is about saving lives. We are thinking IL will be on shut down after the election on Tuesday, since not enough people are staying put. Peace out and keeping you all in my prayers.

Round & annual Stats

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

@carol7878 & @IsMollyReallyHungry and all others who can't visit their loved ones due to the dreaded Coronovirus. It is very hard and especially for those vulnerable people who suffer with dementia & do not understand that there is a reason why their loved ones can;t visit them for their own good. Some years ago, the care home that my father was in ( he very recently passed away) had serious cases of winter 'flu and found it neccessary to go into "lock down" to eradicate the infection. They did lose a couple of the most vulnerable residents, but did successfully manage the virus. However, my Dad really suffered; he deteriorated during those two weeks due to not having visits from family, he did bounce back a little, but didn't really get back to the pre 'flu condition.
Use technology where you can with the help of the homes to have video 'phone contact, that does help.
Also as others have said on here, keep safe everyone, & keep washing your hands !! But remember this;

I'm 39 years old, from UK and 5'11

Day, Weight, Comment
03/16 - 146.2 - I'm back! For a few days at least... I'm very very shocked at this minimal gain for 9 days in Texas. I have until Friday and then its moving day and I'll be out again for at least a couple more days. Wanted to hop on and see if I can get back to 145.x prior to the end. Definitely have some water weight to lose since yesterday was a travel day and water hasn't been great so I don't think a 0.3lb loss is really too awful for 1 day. Giving notice today which will be hectic since the whole Coronavirus thing -- many people are working remotely, especially those with kids out of school (spring break was extended here). We shall see how today goes. I missed you all!
