Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 108

GrandmaJackie · March 2020

Round 108

Please join us! Starting on 03/18 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 108
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 157.1 ~ {Steps 14,539} ~ Taking one day at a time, yesterday was extremely stressful but I didn’t go to food, yay! It turns out my daughter is working from home this week. This helps since I can be home with my husband this week.
03/19 157.1 ~ {Steps 8,810} ~ Today hopefully things will workout for my daughter to stop out by for lunch. Focus, focus focus! Edit: I didn’t do tooo bad, my hubby wanted Burger King. We will see how it effects my weight.
03/20 157.2 ~ {Steps 13,126} ~ I was able get a couple nice walks in even with all the craziness. I didn’t make the best food choices hence the spike in my weight but it’s okay, I’ll take a pound.
03/21 158.1 ~ {Steps 14,643} ~ I had to run to the store for a few things since I’ll away at my daughters tomorrow hopefully only Thursday. Today though is the last day my husband is working till this gets better. Unfortunately we think it’s better for him not to visit our grandkids too. Let’s all stick together so this can be over, stay safe!
03/22 157.7 ~ {Steps 12,066} ~ The next few days will definitely be a challenge since I’ll be at my daughters till Thursday or Friday.
03/23 157 ~ {Step TBD} ~ I’m starting the morning with a elliptical workout before my grandkids wake up. As I’m writing this my grandson is coming down the stairs, lol. My main focus is healthy food choices. Let’s stay safe!

@fmfdfa2020 My husband read this yesterday. As I said to him, the same thing happens when you have a cold. One of my daughter’s former classmates insists COVID-19 is nothing more than a cold. These “kids” are in their late 40’s so not the beach crowding invincible age group. I do not think this is “just a cold!”

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

03/19 122.0 They finally closed our community center. My question is, why does it take 3 people to “man” the empty building through APRIL when no one can get in??? It seems like a lot MORE web surfing will be going on at our expense!

03/21 120.5 Apparently I’m more distracted than I had realized. I keep forgetting to make my daily post after I make comments. Yesterday I sat in our courtyard and enjoyed the sun and 59 degree afternoon.
03/22 121.5 A touch of stress eating I think. 7 saltines with butter last night. I have started a diary of our doings and goings on since earlier this month.

Round 107: Mar 17 EW: 193.2 (-1.6)

Day/Weight/Comment
3/18 192.2 Happy to start with a loss! Am down and blue this morning—didn’t sleep well, my daughter was laid off with the rest of her company, so this at least is something nice to think about. Working hard to get exercise in and keep calories green. Can’t let the blues mess with progress...

3/19 192.2 Happy to stick with the lower weight and not bounce up. So far sticking to the program but struggling with feeling burned out by all the firefighting and emotional support I have to put out there.

3/20 192.2 Exact same weight again. Realistically I’m doing the exact same things—eating green, exercising—but I’m also out of routine with this working at home and have a higher level of anxiety as reflected in a rising average resting heart rate. So I’m ok with maintaining—my goal is to be compassionate with myself right now. Compassionate by being healthy, but not harsh.

3/21 DNW—away from scale

3/22 191.4 Yay, a loss! Was worried about the salty pot roast last night and not much vegetables.

3/23 191.4 Kept the loss, happy with that. Started omega oil pills last night—nauseous this morning and didn’t get in my run. Wondering if it’s related.

R107: 3/17/20 EW: 138.8

Day/Weight/Comment

3/18: 139.0 (+.2) – This next several months will be challenging as we are all having to change our daily realities, activities, eating, etc. The more we can talk about it the better. I went to my small gym today (at a private club so its still open but they are limiting it to 10 people at a time. Thankfully I was by myself, and rode the bike for an hour and rowed for 10 min. I miss running and walking as I need fresh air. But I am determined to heal the hip and keep on keeping on. Everyone hang in there.😘

3/19: 139.0 (0) Nothing new. Just trying to stay put and work, entertain myself, eat healthy, etc. I went to the nursery yesterday, waiting to get in as they kept it to 10 people and strolled around in fresh air and bought a few plants to repot my pots. That will be nice…to be outdoors. Take care❤🌻🌞

3/20: 140.2 (+1.2) Ate like crap at dinner. Drank wine. Stressed and sad. Overwhelmed with all of this BS right now. Will try to do better. Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer😥

3/21: 139.8 (-.4) Went to the gym yesterday before it shut down. Was alone until I wasn’t so that was weird. Not any more. Peloton arrived today for a trial. Will give it a whirl later.😎

3/22: 140.4 (+.6) Peloton is here….fun so far. Eating comfort food while comforting is not the best for weight watching. Found out this morning that my 24 year old son in NYC is showing symptoms of a virus – assuming Covid 19 but he will not go to doctor because they said per the website not to bother unless you were in bad shape. No testing available either. He will just have to deal….sent him some stuff yesterday so hopefully he stays mild and can rest and stay in for a week and be over it.😑

3/23: 139.2 (-1.2) Ate a pretty unhealthy lunch but a really healthy vegetarian dinner. Drank some wine. No idea why I am up and down a lot other than stress. Life is unreal these days so not going to attempt to be able to understand it. It’s going to be a long week. 😒

Round 108 - March 18 to 28
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 163.8, GW – 164 something, UGW – 140.
Goals: continue with 12 hr. IF, see if I can complete my tracking every day and get focussed exercise most days – either gym exercises I can do at home, other (like fitness video). Don’t expect to go to the gym for 2 months and then my membership will be almost finished. We do have a treadmill that my husband uses so I guess I could get used to using that.
Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 – 163.8 – sick with the regular flu
03/19 – 161.8 – Threw up and then hardly ate yesterday, so it is a false low – but still lovely to see that #. Feeling much better today.
03/20 – 164.2 – Back to normal.
03/21 – 165 – Feeling pretty much recovered and it looks like my weight has too, lol. I did give in to snacking on graham crackers late last night, so if I stick with IF today maybe it will drop to 164’s. Have been getting more phone calls, texts than usual from extended family all checking up on each other. That with the online news has really put a dint in my organization and days. Today making a list and getting some fresh air and exercise time. Weather here is very early spring – rhubarb just emerging. I’m toying with the idea of starting some plants inside for later transplanting. I haven’t done that in years but still have the light setup and it’s so much fun to see all the stuff germinate plus no idea if greenhouses will be open.
03/22 – 164.2 – Don’t feel like I deserve this as I snacked on cashews last night. Oh well, a better day today. Another beautiful day and typical for us this time of year – under the trees on the sunny side of the yard things are turning green and the rest has 2+ feet of snow. Good thing I see the sunny side from the diningroom.
03/23 – 163.8 – Nice to see this and hope I can keep going down. Tracked everything and IF 12 hrs. Feeling pretty good though still some coughing and sneezing – ack, was hoping to do a quick final run to the groc. store but I guess not today.

Thanks for the video, nice to have as a reference.

I' m in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!

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. Then I had hip surgery March 10th. Recovery is slow. Sure do want to be back walking!

The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

Heaviest: 192.2
Round GW: 144.0
UGW: 132.2

03/16 - DNW ...must get the scale into the other bathroom.
03/17 - 146.4 at 10:00 a.m. I wonder how much the hip implant weighs???

Day/Weight/Comment

03/18 - 144.0 at 11:00 a.m.
03/19 - DNW ...so hard to remember when my schedule is so changed. Tried moving the scale but that didn't work.
03/20 - DNW
03/21 - 144.0 at 9:00 a.m.

FOCUS FOR THIS ROUND
Settling in my morning routine to include some exercise.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- RGW 132.0kg
- Morning exercise 7/10 days
R108 SW 132.6kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment

03/18 | 132.6kg | No change | Busy day at work and had visitors all evening/night. My mum came in to town ready to babysit my son today, so I picked my sister up on my way home from work and brought her to my place as well so we could all catch up. Later, my dad also decided to come into town but he didn't arrive until about 9:30pm. So it was a late dinner and a few beers, I was expecting a rise on the scale. On the bright side, I didn't snack after work and I didn't have dessert. Got all my water in, but no exercise. Hubby out of town for a day trip today, will see how shopping goes - we normally do an online order that he can just pick up, but they have cancelled that service at the moment so that is frustrating. Stay safe, everyone!

03/19 | 132.7kg | +0.1kg | Made homemade pizzas on wrap bases last night, they were delicious and much lighter than the normal dough bases I make, but I think my sodium was very high as a result (perhaps I should choose a more healthy topping than pepperoni...). Only drank 2L of water too so that also wouldn't help. No exercise as I'm still trying to shake this cold off. Our supermarket shelves were bare when I went yesterday afternoon - no TP, soaps, potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, tissues, canned vegetables, flour, ready-to-make packet meals, cheese, milk...nothing. This was Wednesday afternoon. Our store gets one delivery a week, on Tuesdays. So I don't expect to find anything on the shelves for the next week, which is ridiculous. What's happening, as the cities stock out, people are coming further and further out into the rural areas to wipe our shelves clean too. Their stores get deliveries daily, but they can't wait that long. I don't know what I'm going to feed my one year old toddler by the end of the week, unless they happen to get another delivery in (which they have to pay the freight for, so they won't do that as they don't make enough profit to cover it). I really don't understand how people can be so selfish. It's not a production issue, there is plenty of product available, it's just distribution is the issue - they can't keep the deliveries up to the stores because the demand is increasing exponentially! People are literally panicking over nothing. They're panicking because the media is telling them to. I wish the media would just stop covering all of this and just report the statistics and whereabouts of the virus, nothing more. It's so stupid, people being worried that something is going to stock out, so they buy as much as they can, causing it to stock out. If everyone just stuck to their normal buying, it wouldn't even be an issue but no, people are selfish and greedy.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just extremely frustrated with people.

03/20 | 133.1kg | +0.4kg | Wrong direction! It's just water weight, obviously, but I'm not sure what's caused it. Maybe sodium. I didn't drink enough water the last couple of days too. Feeling anxious and sad, and that leads to poor decisions for me usually. Hubby bought a lasagne for dinner last night, normally we would split it and eat half each, but I did split my share in half and ate it with a salad (bringing the leftovers for my lunch today with a salad). So that's another small win in the 'smaller portions' dinner plan.

03/21 | 133.3kg | +0.2kg

03/22 | 133.5kg | +0.2kg

03/23 | 133.5kg | No change | Sorry, I have been a bit AWOL this weekend. I just didn't get online to MFP at all, but I did keep weighing in. Weight still rising, which I know is from poor choices and overeating and anxiety and lack of sleep and no exercise whatsoever. I've gone off the rails with everything happening. I'm in Australia, and our state is just starting to close "non-essential" services as of today (so pubs, restaurants, clubs etc. - basically anywhere that people gather together because people have been ignoring the "social distancing" recommendations and have been packing into clubs and onto beaches). I'm not sure what this means for my work situation as I should be able to work from home, but it's all up in the air at the moment!

03/24 | 133.3kg | -0.2kg | Dropped some/all of the excess water weight so that's good. Still feeling extremely anxious, but went to bed at a good time last night and managed to get a good sleep which I think makes a huge difference. Still fighting this cold that doesn't seem to want to go away, will be interesting to see if I'm sent home from work or not. The policy is supposed to be to stay home if any symptoms, but last week I was told it was up to me. I asked my boss about working from home, he said it didn't sound promising but he'd ask. I'm waiting to hear back from him, but I'm really hoping it's a yes!

03/23 - 145.9 - We left early due to the virus issues. Packed uhaul Friday night and left at 4am Saturday. Unpacked house today and got vehicles registered (they're due in Kansas in April). Drivers license office closed but my license is good to 2024 anyway. It's been craaaaazy. But I love it so much already. Moved my start date up to Wednesday instead of Monday to try to beat some of the madness and get me in their system to start working (utilities, I'm essential).

Previous Day's Comments
03/18 - I honestly forgot about it. I have an ick "head cold" (not the virus, its from the sudden change with allergies to/from TX). Just a slightly stuffy nose and some mucus that's drained to my throat. Woke up with cotton mouth and chugged water before I ever even got out of bed. Forgot I was going to weigh in today until I got out of bed a few minutes later. Oops! I think I know where my claritin is and I'm going in search of it through the packing madness in my house. Definitely need to focus on my water, I'm so dehydrated. My skin and body are showing it (like giving myself a bloody lip this AM when it cracked from dryness). I'm sure it'll also help with hunger as yesterday I could NOT be satisfied. I'd eat and still be hungry. It was madness. Today should be better, especially with water. Going to make some tea, as well, for caffeine since I already packed and moved my coffee pot. Body slowly adjusting to less and less caffeine throughout this, at least. I will weigh in 2 more days and then hopefully have a chance next week sometime once I start unpacking. I'd like to see some progress during this round, but only time will tell...
03/19 - I was afraid of this... So many carbs and a lot of mindless eating (including ice cream which bloats me like no other) and barely any water. Last day of work, they're taking me to lunch then I turn in my stuff. Still can't find my office keys. I swear they're in my office but I don't remember where and today is my only opportunity to look. Oh well. BF wants to pack the Uhaul Saturday morning and take off right after. Going to be a long day (even longer for him since he drives in Friday evening, that's a quick turnaround). Lots of stress. Lots of cleaning to do today. Taking the last of the packed items down so I can clean. I'm not looking forward to the cleaning of my kitchen. Really not that bad, just hate it.
03/20
03/21 - Packing the uHaul
03/22 - Driving, driving, driving. Off to my new home!
03/23 - First day home, begin unpacking (: Will work on getting scale unpacked quickly

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! President Trump said the country's businesses will be open at the end of the 15 day isolation. ??? Virus yes. They are assessing the data to see if that is advisable. Psyop? Test? Live Drill? Whhhaaat? Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did say in a recent press conference that this is a "LIVE EXERCISE" 😦😠

Day/Weight/Comment
03/18 - 164.7 I'm really losing track of my goals. I haven't worked out in 9 days and I completely binged out on snacks yesterday. I'm definitely in a downward spiral. I usually track my weeks from Sunday through Saturday which means I'd keep on this path and start fresh on Sunday. That's too long. I am starting fresh today. I can do this. Please help hold me accountable!
03/19 - 164.9 Wrong direction. I did get a workout in and stayed relatively close to my calorie goal. Going to workout today and stay under my calorie goal!
03/20 - 164.9 Well I got a workout in however I went WAY over my calorie goal. On the bright side, I ate all the snacks in my house so I have no more temptations. As long as I break even this round I'll be happy.
03/21 - 164.0 Getting close to breaking even! My SO offered to go get me my fav snacks while practicing social distancing and renting and watching The Invisible Man at home. Guess what, I said no! I would not have been able to use portion control and it was past my eating period.
03/22 - 163.1 FINALLY back on track towards my goals!
03/23 - 162.3 Very proud. Trying to stay positive through this Pandemic.

Looking forward:

March: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
Cut down on eating between meals

Never give up! Never give in!
Back Story:

2018:
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019:
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
