Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 116

@kblanc14 - sorry to ask, but what is a CSA ?

Please don’t be sorry! I love sharing new info about this stuff. It stands for Community Supported Agriculture. We paid money up front to a farm for a share of their crops each week. So starting this Monday, I’ll drive about ten minutes to pick up some locally grown produce at one of their pick up sites in the next town over. Some farms only have a veggie option but this farm has fruit and vegetable share options, so we got both. I’m super excited about it! It’s a great way to support our local agricultural community while benefiting from the produce not having to travel 1000’s of miles to get to us. It’s a win win for us

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 116 (round 48 for me ) I'm in for another round – just keep going! As always; thank you @GrandmaJackie, such a champion particularly in these challenging times, helping to keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.

Female age 62 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

Goal – get back to 133 for this round.... - aim to get back to & stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep this 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be able to met up with my beloved family.

06/05 134.8 – 10.55 miles walked yesterday. Calories 740 in credit, all macros well in credit. 1.2 pounds loss fom end of last round, need to keep it off !

Day/Weight/Comment

06/06 134.8 – 10.36 miles walked yesterday. So lucky to stay at this weight this morning; had a bad day yesterday, gave up logging by tea time when I had reached 2838 calories consumed. Sorry to have to say this (yet) again, but why do I self destruct?? I know what it does to me, but it seems I am a food addict & once I get into a feeding frenzy I can't stop. (Sigh) I am so disappointed with myself on these days. I'm going to try this 10 day to be at/under calories every day. I mean it's just 10 days and as it is fastly approachung tea time now, then day 1 is almost done!! I need to be strong/sensible.
06/07 134.8 – 9.33 miles walked yesterday, 664 calories in credit and all macros well in green. A much better day yesterday; in control . What I have noticed is that even a few pounds make a difference to my resting heart rate? When at goal it's usually around 46 bpm, a few pounds on and it creeps up to 47, 48, when I get to 135 ish pounds its up to 50 bpm, that in turn pushes my heart rate up when walking, which I tend to do at/just under 4 miles per hour, I can feel that difference in my breathing whilst walking too !! Just an observation.

?�ﾟﾏﾼ?ﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ This is NOT A DIET - It’s a PERMANENT LIFESTYLE. ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ

Your walks sound like you get a great workout in, where do you like to walk? Is it your neighborhood or do you have trails around you?

That's also great self-awareness when you notice the change in heart rate and how it feels even when it goes up a beat or two at various weights.

Whilst we are in lockdown all the walks are from our home; I zigzag around the local streets. However, in normal times (will we ever get back to those days?) at weekends and on holidays together with my DH, we love to walk in the countryside, in National Parks and also coastal paths. We love nature and really appreciate the wildlife that we experience on these walks, they lift our spirits and enrich our lives!

We can only hope that we can at least get back to a new normal, maybe? I do something similar, and like you, when we were able to... my husband and I would go for hikes in the mountains. There's something about nature that is so rejuvenating. We do try to hang out in our yard to get a little bit of a nature fix. I also just feel blessed to have a yard right now.

Month/Day: Weight / Comment

06/06: 213.8 / I always weigh myself in the morning. Not bad for a Saturday morning. I have been known to have my discipline-wheels fall off on a Friday night. In fact, weekends in general are a problem for me.
06/07: 214.4
06/08: 214.8 / pretty minimal damage from the weekend. I just find it a lot easier to stick to the program during the work week. I was very active on Saturday and Sunday.

5' 7". UGW 150#
Learned a lot about my weight tendencies during my first challenge 10 days ago. This will be my last challenge before vacation so I'm going big. Goal is to lose at least 5# by increasing exercise and maintaining MFP goal calories. I actually think I can lose more as the last two days of the last challenge served me up a couple pounds back, but who needs that kind of pressure!?
SW: 178.6

6/6-176.8 up for 24 hours with a family medical emergency that had a happy enough ending for my sweet momma. Not the way to lose water weight!
6/7-176.4 I don't know how, but I will accept those lost bonus ounces. Slept till noon; made poor food choices [yet stayed within MFP goal]; somehow walked 10,000 steps, only 1 mile intentionally.
6/8- 176.3 Walked...a LOT. Gardened a bit.

About me: I love learning about food and everything about it; from the way it acts in the body to learning to cook a new recipe. I went to school for nutrition (got my bachelor's) but I didn’t become an RD because it didn’t feel like the path for me. I guess I wanted to keep it as more of an interest instead of a career. I then went into public health to further my education and I currently help medically complex patients by connecting them with community resources to improve their health and life. I enjoy helping family and friends when they ask for advice related to food and nutrition. Plus, it helps me brush up on what I spent so much time learning!

I’m here because when I’m not paying attention to what I eat, I start to gain and feel uncomfortable in my body. For me that results in frustration and a lot of other emotions. It has also increased my cholesterol in the past (It’s good now as far as I know thanks to diet and exercise). I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, and all that fun stuff. So, I want to prevent that for myself by getting a hold of my food habits now.

I’m always open to conversation about food and nutrition, so feel to reach out to me!

06/06 120.0 This makes sense because I did an intense workout yesterday and I have some soreness today. So, it’s just the water retention as my muscles heal.
I just made really yummy summer rolls with brown rice spring roll wrappers, cilantro, leftover ground turkey [seasoned with ginger, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce and lime juice], yellow bell pepper, shredded cabbage and baby greens. Then, I dipped them in a peanut sauce I made with 1 tbs peanut butter, ½ tbs rice vinegar, 2-3 tsps coconut aminos, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, dash of garlic powder, ¼ tsp honey and 1 tsp grated ginger (I used the frozen ginger cubes). I could legit just eat the sauce and be a happy camper but mixed with the summer rolls it was really good too.

I plan on having a bit of a rest day for my Saturday and just enjoy lounging around. I’ll eventually do some chores, but we’ll see how I feel about that. Happy weekend all!

06/07 119.2 Yesterday was a wonderful lazy day where I was able to stay on point with food as well. I lounged around but also created an Excel database of all the recipes I want to cook from my cookbooks. I’m trying to prepare for the Fruit and Veggie CSA that starts on Monday for us. I want to make sure nothing is wasted, so I wanted to have a source of all the recipes I’ve been wanting to make for a while. I’m very excited about the document and hope it helps me meal plan all this produce we’ll be getting.
My plan for today is to make a batch of raspberry beet baked oatmeal to use up some milk we have in the fridge. I haven’t tried this recipe yet, so it’ll be interesting to see how it comes out. Then, I’ll be able to have it for my breakfasts this week too.
Also, I had a non-scale victory of realizing how much my body has changed over the past few months when looking at before and after pictures. I’m down 7 pounds and I’m really starting to feel awesome about the progress I’ve made so far. My muscles are getting stronger and it’s so nice to visibly see the hard work put into the process. On that note, have a beautiful Sunday!

06/08 119.2 Yesterday was a good day food wise and I moved around a bit more doing laundry and chores. I decided to take the weekend off for intentional exercise because I was just feeling a little tired. I feel it’s better to listen to the body than push it and overdo it. This morning I did another solid soccer workout this morning with my father in law.

Today will be a good day for food because I made that beet raspberry baked oatmeal, so that’ll be my breakfast with a halfish cup of skyrr and some maple syrup drizzled on top. Not sure what dinner will be… most likely something with the fresh produce we’re picking up later today 😊

06/06 - 146.5 - We had a small family get together last night on our patio for my husband's birthday. We had Mexican food and watermelon margaritas. I expect it to really catch up with me tomorrow, but it was worth it. I'll just have to be really mindful for the remainder of this round.
