Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 108

Round 108 - March 18 to 28
Female, 5’, 67 years. SW – 163.8, GW – 163 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 all 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.
03/24 – 163.4 – Tracked and IF. Hung sheets on the line and did a little bit outside. Love the fresh air but have to make myself get out there. I’m 2/3 done, and can hardly wait to finish, a bigger cross-stitch project and it’s really helping with the snacking because I have to keep my hands very clean. So much better than surfing the news in the evening.
03/25 – 163.8 – IF -12 or more, didn’t finish tracking but stayed quite low. DH went to the groc. store during the seniors’ time this a.m. to pick up milk and a few other things because I am still coughing. Feeling very thankful to be alive and ok, in my own home, and spring coming outside.
03/26 – 164 – Tracked cals. and under, IF – 12+ hrs. Did spend most of the day sitting doing cross stitch – it’s coming along so well and the end is in sight – however, have to make myself do some more active stuff.
03/27 – 164.2 – IF but had ice cream for dessert. Still an overall trend down. Hoping to be solidly in the 163’s next round.8 -

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
Back Story:2018:2020
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!
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.

03/21 – Weight 181.6 goal to lose 2 lbs by 3/27 – Get over this cold!
03/22 – Weight 177.6 - down but yesterday weighed in the evening, today in the morning. Will be consistent going forward.
03/23 – 176.6 – Another day working from home but was able to eat well.
03/24 – 175.6 – Still going down but I think it is because I am actually drinking water! LOL will see what happens at the end of 10!
03/25 – 176.6 – Up 1 lb, unsure why but need to continue with water. Still eating well but need more protein in my diet.
03/26 – 176.0 – I ate too much today. Stressed eating and frustrated with the working from home. I understand the issues and I don’t wish to harm anyone by going to work however I really hope we can all get back to normal sooner than later.
03/27 – 177.0 – expected this as I was eating way too much on Thursday. Each day is a new day. Let’s hope I can see a change tomorrow.

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???

03/24 - 146.2 at 5:00 a.m. ...DH went grocery shopping during senior hours this morning. He said everyone was polite and in no hurry. No toilet paper but paper towels were on the shelves. They were just stocking the meat dept when he got there. Interesting morning. I didn't go with him...still using the walker and it's too hard to get up in the Santa Fe without a ladder.
03/25 - 145.2 at 10:15 a.m.
03/26 - 145.0 at 5:00 a.m.
03/27 - DNW ...slept in and it messed with my routine.

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.
03/24 - 161.4 Wow ... I remember just a couple months ago inching towards the 160's. Can't believe I'll reach the 150's soon!
03/25 - 160.3 Okay this is unbelievable. Maybe my scales broke 😅
03/26 - 161.4 Alright this feels normal.
03/27 - DNW First time not weighing in since I starting participating in the rounds.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/18: 272.0 lbs (-2.1) … my uptick weight continues to fall off. Got in a nice run this afternoon, running for 28 minutes at a 12:00/mi pace. Felt good to get back to that after all the stress and uncertainty lately. Didn’t quite get enough steps in to hit my daily 10k goal by the evening so I went on an almost 3 mile walk at 10pm with my headlamp on. Hopefully I didn’t weird out my neighbors, but it was nice to get some fresh air and exercise. | Running: C25k Week 8 Day 1 | 15,806 steps |
3/19: 269.2 lbs (-2.8) … big drop today, which I found surprising given that I didn’t eat super clean yesterday. This marks the first new low in about a week or so and now I’ve finally fully recovered from my recent uptick. It’s a little dreary today but my wife and I are still going to go for our lunch walk anyway. It’s good to get out of the house -- we’re feeling pretty cooped up being home all the time. | 10,741 steps |
3/20: 271.8 lbs (+2.6) … up a bit today. Not surprised to be honest, yesterday was a big, unexpected drop. Might have just been a little dehydrated or something. | Running: C25k Week 8 Day 2 | 10,441 steps |
3/21: 270.6 lbs (-1.2) … down again, a bit more reasonable of a dip this time. Had a very tiring day, went for a bike ride and then spent about 4 hours doing yardwork. | Bicycling: 5.5 miles | Raking 3 hours, Misc Yardwork 2 hours | 14,805 steps |
3/22: 271.3 lbs (+0.7) … I was really tired today and took it pretty easy. Engaged in a bit of stress eating in the evening, landing somewhere around maintenance calories. | Rest Day | 4,314 steps |
3/23: 271.4 lbs (+0.1) … My second week of working from home starts today. Getting back to my daily walks and keeping myself at 10,000+ steps per day after a break yesterday. Went for a nice walk over lunch and then spent about 2 hours shoveling snow and playing with my daughter out there, helping her build a snow fort despite only getting around 6 inches of accumulation. I wound up shoveling parts of the yard to concentrate snow in the area she was playing | Snow Shoveling: 1.5-2 hours | 13,064 steps |
3/24: 269.9 lbs (-1.5) … Down a bit more today. Yesterday started a week-long step challenge at work and I got trounced on the first day with one of my coworkers pulling out 18,000ish steps. Going to need to ramp that up if I want a chance at winning. Went for a long walk this morning before work. Planning to go back out at lunchtime. Added another walk in the evening as well. | Walking: lots | 23,226 steps |
