Ten Day Challenge
9/15 and getting stronger. Love this challenge....I start my day with weighing (use a Withings and heart rate monitor to track). For four months - a day at a time- I have not deviated from my lifestyle plan (spiritual, mental, and physical). Last month I lost nine pounds, but for the last two weeks (with a continuing 900+ calorie deficit daily and no eating back my exercise calories) I've continued to hover at 195. The science says this is not possible, so I've reviewed the charts and reflected on daily goals. I've kept my fat at 10% and continued with the deficit I'm trusting the process. The good news is my muscle gain is gently rising as my fat is slowly descending on the chart. I'm also seeing more strength and energy during my workouts. Yesterday, I had the best workout in the last four months of this journey. I'm welcoming this challenge as a new strategy to confirm that I will meet my goal of being out of the 190s by the end of the month. Best wishes to each of us....by staying in the moment making consistent daily positive choices towards health (on all levels) we will reach of goals! Thank you @ Grandma Jackie for this opportunity!
9/16 and maintaining fierce dedication to my lifestyle!!! I'm learning patience is a strategy for success. I'm slowly gaining strength/energy which is a priority. I know the weight loss will be certain throughout this journey. Today I received the kettlebell that was ordered and looking forward to adding it into the fitness routine. Grateful for this opportunity and wishing everyone success with their daily goals.
9/17 and still noodling around the same weight. I'm donning my warrior gear and choose to look at the positive side of this odyssey....getting healthier, getting stronger, not gaining fat, mental strength, patience. So am I doomed to be the strong fat girl! I'm keeping my calories at a 900+ deficit and eat nutrient dense meals that are wholesome and filling. I'm increasing my fitness regime in monthly increments. I log in daily so aware of my calories, macros/micros, and all the biometrics on the Withings scale. I"m keeping the faith and will reflect at the end of the month. In the meantime, I'll be diligent, kind, and a bit self indulgent with scented epsom baths, the luxury of deep sleep, watching my garden grow, and letting my body know that I am safe and happy so there is no survival need to hang on to the chunkiness. Congratulations to all those that are successful and wishes for patience and knowledge that we will be joining their ranks for the rest of us. Just takes time....and when I think of where I was 6 months ago, I know that I can fly. Just have to let go of the weight holding me earthbound!
9/18 and a 17 day plateau has been broken! I woke up this am grateful for another day on this earth but thinking I really need some validation that all this work is making a difference after 17 days of bouncing between 194.7-195.2. Hang in there for all of you that are frustrated ....it will! I felt a hip bone last night and have lost an inch in my chest (oh well, it is just part of the overall plan and I'll take it where ever it occurs). I never allow myself to get hungry and usually stop eating between 5-6:00. Last night I had a bit of an appetite and had calories left to consume. So I picked the most colorful plate in the cupboard and filled it with fresh chopped cauliflower, grape tomatoes, celery, red bell pepper, and radish. I sprinkled Table Tasty and drizzled Bragg's apple cider vinegar dressing (without olive oil) over the festive plate. This is one of my go-to snacks and I still maintained my 900+ deficit for the day. So satisfying, tasty, and chock full of nutrition....love eating this way! Because I ate later than usual, I was set to receive the same old - same old when I faced the scale. But the science won out....finally a break through! So happy to report good news...but I know I need to maintain a balanced approach. There will be up days and down....the downward trend is bound to happen if I just stay the course. Wishing every one a day filled with joy and making the right choices for you. The magic will happen!
9/19 and there are just. no. words. I stayed the course anyway, finding it a challenge to engage in enthusiasm. The deficit I maintain everyday is suppose to result in a 2 pound/week loss. Let's see what happens tomorrow. I'm always looking for the pony in the pile, and there is a bright spot. I received my new Fenix Garmin and it is amazing!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/14 - 73.8 - Because of course it jumps up to what it was a week ago. This is why I'm glad I weigh every day, because it would look like I've not lost anything this last week, but I know that this is just a fluctuation up. And I know why too. Yesterday was a maintenance day. I knew it was going to be a maintenance day. I banked calories for it to be a maintenance day. It still feels wrong to allow my numbers go into the red. Ah well. Cider at lunch (first time I've drunk alcohol for ages, damn it was good), went out for lunch (nice burger and chips), lots of cheese for dinner and topped it off with a big chocolate cookie. CI was slightly above CO so not quite a true maintenance day, but considering my deficit for the week, I'm still pretty happy with it all and all. And I didn't eat all of my lunch because it was there. When I was full, I stopped nibbling at the chips and left them.
09/15 - 74.0 - Now you can just stop it. My legs are killing me. Judo yesterday killed me. My legs were still kind of hurting going into the session left over from Saturday, and then what did we do during the circuits? More flipping frog jumps. Aaaaah! It's fine, I don't need to use my legs! And I think I've pulled my hamstring because I am so close to getting left side splits flat to the floor (something I've not been able to do since I was a about 10), so I pushed it a little too much trying to get there, I did make it though, but only for a second, and it hurt so maybe a little bit longer on that one. So yeah, fluid retention is strong today. Hopefully we'll see a drop tomorrow back to something a little more sensible.
09/16 - 74.4 - Why? Seriously though, why?
09/17 - 73.8 - Right, well at least that better. Lets see if this trend continues. Yesterday was hard, I am getting really hungry at the moment (lead up to my period week, I think) and I decided to work from home where all the food was available. But managed to keep it at bay and eat fairly sensible. Dinner was somewhat disappointing as I'd bought some lean cut pork sausages with a lower calorie count. But the amount of calorie difference was no where near enough to make up for the fact that they were just not as nice a normal sausages. And they shrank up quite small, so two wasn't really quite enough, and at that point is the sausage just less calories because there's less of it than other brands. Well whatever, not going to be going for that again.
09/18 - 73.8 - It's frustrating that it's still not going down, but with this week I'm not overly surprised. I have been oh so hungry this week. Yesterday was definitely the peak of my hunger. I just did not feel satisfied with anything yesterday. Normally I save some of my breakfast shake to eat later at about 3pm (when I start feeling a little munchy), but that didn't happen, and I was still hungry afterwards, and I was still hungry after lunch, even though I packed extra fruit because I thought I would be hungry, and I ate more than a few squares of the 'not very nice chocolate' I keep in my desk to stop me going to the shop for a snickers. And it took every ounce of willpower I had not to say "screw it" and order a takeaway for dinner. But order I did not, and I pulled some leftovers out of the freezer and had that instead. I finished the day still a little hungry, but under maintenance. No matter what the scales say, I'd call that a win.
09/19 - 73.4 - Looks like my perseverance finally paid off. I did actually finally log onto my trendweight account for the first time in ages and discovered that my trend weight has still been dropping all this week which is encouraging and does make me feel better about the whole massive weight spike thing. Yesterday was so much better than the days before. The hunger monster had definitely gone back to bed to the extent that dinner didn't really turn out to be anything as neither me nor OH where very hungry so we had half a pizza (only half!!) and a glass of wine. Slightly over, but I normally build up a bit of a buffer on the weekends and this should be an active one so feeling optimistic.
09/20 - 73.4 - that's fine I guess. Judo yesterday so would be expecting to be holding a lot of water, so that numbers strangely low tbh. Ended up doing two sessions as there was space in the juniors session and was certainly tired after it so my seniors session wasn't quite as good as I wanted. Eating was stupidly low. I just wasn't hungry. I often find that on Judo Saturdays that by the time I get home at around 2-3, I'll eat something and barely be hungry for the rest of the day. My 'dinner' was an eaton mess situation which was very few calories for something sweet and was nice and light as I wasn't really that hungry.

09/14 170.0lbs Four days at the same weight, I'm hoping for a drop soon. However, I'm weighing in an hour earlier than usual.
09/15 169.8lbs Just done half an hour of exercise. An even earlier weigh in as well, I've been meaning to do this for ages but didn't want to show an increased weight!
09/16 169.6 later weigh in but have not exercised yet so not too worried
09/17 169.8 late weigh in, no exercise yet. Not worried about 0.2lb
09/18 169.8 Now I am worried. It's time I had another drop. I'm in a bad mood today. I had arranged for a pick up of furniture from a house I am emptying. I rang th company this morning and was told that I would get a call 30 mins beforehand. Ten minutes later got a call saying we phoned but you were on the phone and we can't wait any longer!
09/19 169.6 This is after nearly 5000 steps! I do hope I get a proper drop by the end of this round.

🎯Mini Goal: 225 I’ll no longer be morbidly obese ✔️
Date – Morning weigh in – Previous day summary:
09/14 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Well the roofers did not finish so we are still at the camp and I don’t have an ending weight for R125 nor a starting weight for R126. But I’m checking in! Walked 3+ miles yesterday morning, tracked food.
09/15 227.7 Finally stepped on the scale. I’m solidly in the 20s and closer to my mini goal. First time in many years I did not gain weight at the camp! Down 1.6 lbs. Yesterday long day in the car 5 hrs returning from the camp, grocery shopping, etc. But tracked, didn’t stop for fast food, drank a ton of water, AF and went on an evening 1+ mile walk.
09/16 227.5 3 mile walk, bike, hand weights, tracked food, 2 glasses of wine. Lots of time spent on reflection, mini goals, habits, and not returning back up to the 230s or 240s like I have in the past.
09/17 227.0 3 mile walk, tracked food, AF. DH had a craving for fried chicken. Popeyes Chicken Breast but tossed the biscuits in the trash immediately then cooked my own green beans as a side and did not break my calorie or carb goals for the day. Bye Bye 18 pounds! I’m not losing weight. I’m getting rid of it with no intention of finding it again.
09/18 226.1 Walked 3 miles, biked, hand weights, tracked food and passed on the wine at an event! At the serving table I focused on what was on my food plan instead of what wasn’t and did not feel deprived at all. Good day.
09/19 225.1 NSV - BMI 39.9 no longer morbidly obese! NSV - Walked 3+ miles at 19 min/mile (down from 22 when I started in Aug)! Biked, hand weights, tracked food, 3 glasses wine with dinner of smoked chicken, sauté brussels sprouts and cheesy cauliflower bake.
09/20 225.4 Love seeing the 225 again this morning which is what my doctor gave me as an initial target before my physical in Jan 2021. Walked 4 miles. Skipped lunch working on daughter’s condo remodel.
3 more days! Loving this new number that I've not seen in half a dozen years. My history charts show that I've kept it around 190-210 most of the time in my 40s and early 50s with only a couple of times touching 220s. Would've should've could've kept it there but it is what it is. In my mid to late 50s the number has hovered 230s-240s ... menopause is a terror on the waist line and scale! Now definitely is the time as I turn 60 to get it back under 200.6 -

Happy that the drop from yesterday has held so far. I spent the weekend dealing with some of the responsibilities on my plate, so that has helped my stress levels a bit.
15/9 126.6kg
I have moved to an IF 16:8 model, as I am finding if I have an early breakfast, then I am more hungry throughout the day. Still keeping it low carb as well, which really helps prevent snacking.
16/9 126.7kg
I'm finally settling into some good habits, and maintaining this new lifestyle is becoming easier. My husband is supportive, but still offers me treats that are high carb, which I medically need to control. He will get there at some point, but it is a test of my new habits.
17/9 126.9kg
Bounce, bounce, bounce. It will go down again. I just need to be patient. I'm going to try some low carb chocolate for dessert tonight. It will either work, or it won't.
18/9 126.5kg
A late post because I was travelling last night. High carb dinner, but I had planned for it, and it is an infrequent thing.
19/9 126.5kg
Did a bunch of walking with my kids today. It was good, but I am sore tonight. Also tried a high protein/low carb chocolate bar, which wasn't amazing, but was enough to hit my chocolate craving.
20/9 126.3kg
Today I took a day just for me. This winter has been really rough, so it was nice to have the time. Planning on an early night.

09/14 188.4 My daughter's 16th Bday! She doesn't want cake but wants Domino's pizza for dinner. I'm going to try my best to make good choices. Also, how do you make time slow down???
09/15 188.4 Been the same weight for 4 or 5 days now. Still staying within my calorie budget and trying to avoid excess salt. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
09/16 188.4 again. I guess staying the same is better than gaining, even if it is frustrating!
09/17 188.4 Is this a plateau? It's driving me crazy lol The .4 isn't even moving, it's weird to me.
09/18 187.0 Finally a different number! Also, T.O.M showed up early by over a week. That never happens for me. I know that changing your diet and adding exercise can cause your cycle to be off, but every time in the past, that means it's been late. And, it also means an increase in weight for a few days, not a loss. Not that I'm complaining though! It's also been a few years since I've tried to lose weight so maybe my body is just responding different now. Anyway, happy Friday!
09/19 185.8 Yesss, I'll take that! Today is my aunt's bridal shower and tomorrow is my daughter's birthday party. Seeing a decrease will give me the willpower I need not to over-eat this weekend
09/20 185.4 I was able to indulge yesterday at her bridal shower and didn't go overboard. My cousin made the cake, and it's been a while since I've had anything sweet. It was delicious, though very sweet lol Happy Sunday!

OK Ready to try again
I got way off track last round, Trying not to be an emotional eater, I found myself craving a drink at the end of the day. I have never been much of a drinker. I could count on my fingers how many drinks I have in a year, so this was alarming. So I had a snack instead and within a couple of days all my old bad eating habits were back. I don't have a solution right now - but I have to keep trying. I have special needs adults in my family who depend on me to be there for them 24/7. I need my health.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/14 215.6 another tough day - if DS2 does not get his act together by Friday -take his meds, have a shower etc doctor will 'form" him. I am still hoping it won't come to that - but also very scared that it will.
09/15 214.6
09/16 213.8 Happy with how fast I am regaining lost ground - (re-losing gained ground?) Taking the doggo on extra walks to help manage the stress.
09/17 213.4 not enough sleep last night - will have to work extra hard on the impulse control today.
09/18 213.0 Happy with this A lot is riding on the doctors decision today. DS has not improved, but he has not gotten any worse - hoping that will be enough to keep him at home.
09/19 212.6 Thanks for all the hugs. DS is still at home, very grateful for that - will be reassessed on Monday
09/20 212.4 Today would have been my Mum's 94th birthday - still working on trying to live up to her example

09/14: 204.2 did all the stairs at work (21 stories) 💪🦵🏅🏆⚰
09/15 204.4. I'm probably a little better hydrated today. But we are ordering Thai tonight so who knows what tomorrow's weigh will bring 🤷♀️🍚🥘🥭🍤🥟🤤📈
09/16 204.6 salty thai food got me indeed but I'm doing lots of water and stairs at work tonight (did a round of 16 stories already, hoping to do it again around 0300.) Any other night shift hobgoblins on here? 😱
09/17 203.4 yusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdsssssss 🚀
09/18 203.6 okayyyy. No stairs today besides up and down from my walk-up to take the dog out a few times, but I stayed well under my calories even with a couple of glasses of cava. 🥂
09/19 202.2 oh man. I like that. I'm baking a chai apple pie today (also making some szechuan chicken legs and a carrot-apple-walnut salad with yuzu curry dressing 🔥🔥🔥) but I have my portions all figured out and prelogged, so let's do this! 🏄♂️
09/20 201.0 this is probably some retained water shedding from my intense workouts last week, but I'll take it. We coooked so much delicious food yesterday and I stayed in my calories mainly by having sleep for dinner 👼. Today I'm making some turkey meatballs and waiting to see how bad tropical storm Beta gets us. It actually feels like fall this morning! I'm sure the air will feel like a fart again by afternoon. 🌬

I know it isn’t the same thing as you’re describing, but I have an intense fear of heights, and had great success learning to drive over high bridges on a cross-country drive with some do-it-yourself online desensitizations programs. Maybe worth exploring something along those lines? DH , who’s in a high-risk group for COVID, wears a shield to protect himself and a mask for other people. It’s not easy, that’s for sure. Good luck!
That's the issue -- I can't find something that WOULD be a "shield" and not touch my face but also follow guidelines. Its been really difficult having to relive my trauma every time I go out. And since BF's surgery, I have no choice but to be the one that goes out every time. He can't wear a mask at all due to the surgery and the recovery complications/medications that go with it.
Luckily I've gotten a little better as time has gone on but if 13years of therapy to deal with it hasn't helped, I'm not sure how much more it will take. I just have to limit my outings as much as I possibly can and hope my mental health doesn't slide too much further backward than it has. I can't wait for this to be over so I don't have to look over my shoulder every second I walk out of my house and sometimes even in my own house.
Thank y'all for letting me rant - I'll still be doing my part to protect myself and others. I'm simply frustrated at people's insensitivity and lack of understanding. I make it obvious I'm trying to do my best to do the right thing, but its not as simple as slapping a mask on and dealing with it like many others are capable of doing. I wish it was that easy -- I'm jealous of them.9 -

Round 126 SW: 177.7 (on 9/13/20)
09/14 – 177.3 – A good start for the round! I got in my 3 goals yesterday – calories, steps and water
09/15 – 177.2 – Just a squeak down, but still in the right direction.
09/16 – 178.4 – I had an incredibly rough day yesterday and got take-out at the end of the day. I’m feeling better and time to get back on track.
09/17 – 178.4 – Still holding onto water from the take-out. I’m back to logging and stepping, but vacation is just around the corner. I won’t be weighing then but trying to we careful with what I eat.
09/18 – 177.6 – I managed to weigh my meals, log everything and get my steps in yesterday.
09/19 – 177.2 – Due to the tropical storm/hurricane, we’ve had to reschedule our vacation. So maybe I can manage to be a hair down by the end of this round.
09/20 – 177.3 – A bit of a roller coaster week, but I’m happy to be generally maintaining after the drama of this last week.

09/20 - 158.1 - I weighed yesterday but have no recollection what it was as I didn't get to record it in my Libra app. Today is a combination of dehydration and salt. I was in the sun all day working hard with very little access to water. I think I got 2 water bottles in (16oz each), only half my minimum goal! Got plenty of steps, though - just shy of 12k! Didn't get to fast like I wanted as I knew lunch was not guaranteed and I'd be physically working in the sun. Ended up having a small late fast food lunch, though. No other option available ): Dinner was a bit salty and although I didn't have much to eat, paired with water retention from dehydration, it compounded. I'll be ok. Today should be quieter so I can focus on my water and food better while watching my football (: hopefully rehydration today will drop me back down quickly. Definitely fasting 16hr, if not more, to get back to normal. Once I finish my water bottle (32oz) I'll get dressed to take the pup on a morning walk. I can see a beautiful sunrise through my curtains -- how refreshing to walk and admire beautiful Mother Nature in the morning light!

Previous Day's Comments09/14 - This is what lactose and upset stomach looks like on me. I ordered soy but they gave me milk. Didn't know until late last night and by then taking my lactose pills didn't do much as it was too long after eating. Woke up with sharp pain in my belly. Don't feel bloated but do feel very heavy in general and a tad bit nauseous. Flushing with water and trying to fast longer today to overcome this and hope my nausea goes away. Glad this is the start of a round so I have plenty of time to bounce back
09/15 - Oh so thankful!!! I'm below my ending weight and my lactose bump is gone! I expected it to take 2 days at least so I'm super duper happy my work paid off yesterday. The best part is that yesterday I wasn't that good, just good enough to not feel bad about my day. Goes to show you don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than before. I might just keep that in mind going forward. The only person I'm competing against is myself and every day I just have to be better than I was the day before.
09/16 - Some more bloat drop. I feel so might lighter and my belly is much flatter today. Its not the most debloated I could get, but the closest I'll get while eating as a family (dinner's veggies were grilled in melted butter- not the healthiest but oh so delicious). I'm willing to make those sacrifices, though, because I know its possible to still feel good without being absolutely perfect and still be able to enjoy a family dinner. Water was good yesterday. Didn't get a walk in with work but aiming for one this morning once it lightens up a bit. So weird to be awake when its so dark now that days are shorter and shorter. Makes getting my walk in harder unless I'm willing to walk in the dark either in the morning or in the evening. Need to stick to my guns about it and get it done
09/17 - I'll take any drop I can get. I'm up earlier than normal by an hour since I have to drive into work today so I'm really surprised at this. No workout unless I can squeeze it in somehow tonight. Not sure how training will be so not sure if I'll hit step goal, especially if its all classroom stuff.
09/18 - And a whoosh. I expect this to bounce up since I was dehydrated this morning though not sure how. My BF% went up almost 3% today so it makes me wonder. It usually bounces around quite a bit so I know its not super accurate, but this was a huge bounce. I hit my water goal and I believe went a bit over. Making sure I make water goal today. Got my 16hr fast (maybe a little longer as I always forget to check what time it is when I finish dinner but I know it is about 730-ish every night). Not sure if dinner helped me hit my calorie goal as lunch was a little on the low side. No way to track it, unfortunately, except very very estimated guesses. Hit my step goal and almost reached 10k steps despite being in training. Every break I got up to go outside and pace a bit for movement. (Plus outside I could take my mask off - Anxiety from a traumatic event causes me to go into full on panic mode when I wear one. Like hyperventilating, accidentally attacking people trying to help me because I feel like I'm being attacked... Already happened once in the store at the beginning of all this, don't want a repeat. Been looking for a visor or something that doesn't touch my face/neck that is acceptable but no luck so far. A constant battle against my brain when I have to go out ): I just try to avoid it at all costs)

09/14 - walking 5k.
09/15 - weigh day 96.7! Mini GW1 accomplished. Now just need to keep it in the 96.x till the end of the challenge. Not sure if it will work since it must be water fluctuations.
09/16 - raining day, but you would be surprised how many steps you can get in the supermarket It was a bit too crowded but we tried to go in and out. 5K steps and groceries are in!
09/17 - It is surprisingly hard to combat curiosity and *not* get on the scale every day. It has been to discouraging before so I am trying something new. 2 more mornings to go! Better weather today but still slacker on activity
09/18 -96.1 the curiosity got to me and the scale shows way too low number. This will bite me with stalling later on
will try skipping tomorrow's weighing day to not be disappointed. And enough is enough! Started with a 5k walk this morning.
09/19 -weigh day (to be cancelled). 7k hike. S bit of food splurging in the evening but nothing to major
09/20 - weekend washing the apartment. Learning to listen to my body and realize I can easily compensate for yesterday's splurge today since I am not that hungry. Maybe it also has to do with the fact that the splurging was not full of unhealthy foods but just more higher calories one (nice tasty high fat cheese for example)

09/17 - 141.7 - Good to see this number before heading out on vacay this morning.
09/18 - 142.3 - Happy with this number. Yes, I brought my scale with me
09/19 - 141.6 - Less stress on vacation, more movement.
09/20 - 141.0 - I hit my 50 pound loss today, great birthday present : - ) I am okay if I fluctuate from here, perfect timing (and of course hard work) to hit that number today. I go from obese to just overweight today : - )

Day/Weight/Calories Previous Day/Snack Status/Comment
9/14 - 181.6 - 1596 - snack late in lieu of dinner - pear, Eng muffin w/cheese
Weird eating day yesterday as DH wanted pizza (veggie) for lunch. I kept my calories reasonable, but ate later than planned (wasnt hungry at supper time, but I was later). Probably same today with leftover pizza, but I’m planning my day better. @quiltingjaine, I’m reading Life in the Fasting Lane and am thinking of trying it. Actually no snacks between dinner (we eat early) and breakfast pretty much does it, I think. We shall see. Off for a walk.
9/15 - 182.8 - 1756 - snack 🍨
Today’s the day. Cutting refined carbs as much as possible, starting with a cheese omelette for breakfast instead of cereal. I had ice cream last night and savored it as my last indulgence until I drop at least 20 pounds. I’m making salmon salad for lunch — yummy with broccoli slaw. If I fill up on protein, fat, and veggies 🧀🥚🍳🥦🥕🥒🥬, I shouldn’t crave snacks later. This time I mean it. I feel ready, if that makes any sense. Also, I refinished a dresser over the weekend — got it cheap, banged up. Here it is now.
9/16 - 181.4 - 1086 - no snacks ⭐️
I had a good day yesterday. Now to rinse and repeat!
9/17 - 181 - 1278 - no snacks ⭐️
Two days in a row without snacking. Yay! I was really hungry last night watching a movie, but I held out. I know partly that’s trained hunger that will pass eventually. Onward!
9/18 - 181 - 1723 - snack muesli & almond milk
A minor slip. A friend in coming for late breakfast in the garden, and wanted a Panera Bread bear claw. DH wanted an Asiago bagel. I made the Panera run and got Greek yogurt with mixed berries For myself. Is my halo all nice and sparkly or what?
9/19 - 182 - 1546 - no snacks, but late dinner because other meals were late.
Delayed reaction from Thursday, I’m sure. Beautiful weather here — sunny and 60s. I’m going to relocate some plants, the go for a long walk along the river.
9/20 - 181.4 - 1585 - snack small 🍨
Not too bad yesterday, considering I was really down. I wanted to eat my way through, but didn’t, other than 1 oatmeal raisin cookie (77 cal) and a half cup of ice cream. DH made a pot of fabulous 15-bean soup for dinner and to freeze. I don’t really like bean soup, but this is delicious! Anyway, today I’m trying to busy my way out of depression. Have a good Sunday, all.

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.

*********
9/14 116.0 Life is good. It has occurred to me that yesterday’s lower weight was probably brought to me by sleeping until 10 rather than 6 or 6:30.
9/15 116.0
9/16 116.0
9/17 116.0 Had Great Greek salad yesterday with steak, side of melitzanosalada and a whole pita. I have added longer periods of fasting so had about 17 hours yesterday band will have at least 19 today.
9/18 117.0 Well, that’s the carb bounce from 2 days ago and there may be more tomorrow. I fasted 22 hours, from 4PM 9/16 to 2PM 9/17 and had a 2.5 hour eating window before starting my IF period.
9/19 118.0 Went to PF yesterday for the first time since before COVID. Trying to do things that are similar to what I do at physical therapy so I have a routine when those sessions are over. My thighs really feel the pain today! No TMI x 2 days. And I haven’t made BPC in almost a week!
9/20 117.0 Smoke was terrible in the morning. No gym, my inner thighs were so sore I could hardly walk but it was a GOOD SORE! Shopping yesterday so lots of steps overall.6 -
Ten Day Challenge
9/15 and getting stronger. Love this challenge....I start my day with weighing (use a Withings and heart rate monitor to track). For four months - a day at a time- I have not deviated from my lifestyle plan (spiritual, mental, and physical). Last month I lost nine pounds, but for the last two weeks (with a continuing 900+ calorie deficit daily and no eating back my exercise calories) I've continued to hover at 195. The science says this is not possible, so I've reviewed the charts and reflected on daily goals. I've kept my fat at 10% and continued with the deficit I'm trusting the process. The good news is my muscle gain is gently rising as my fat is slowly descending on the chart. I'm also seeing more strength and energy during my workouts. Yesterday, I had the best workout in the last four months of this journey. I'm welcoming this challenge as a new strategy to confirm that I will meet my goal of being out of the 190s by the end of the month. Best wishes to each of us....by staying in the moment making consistent daily positive choices towards health (on all levels) we will reach of goals! Thank you @ Grandma Jackie for this opportunity!
9/16 and maintaining fierce dedication to my lifestyle!!! I'm learning patience is a strategy for success. I'm slowly gaining strength/energy which is a priority. I know the weight loss will be certain throughout this journey. Today I received the kettlebell that was ordered and looking forward to adding it into the fitness routine. Grateful for this opportunity and wishing everyone success with their daily goals.
9/17 and still noodling around the same weight. I'm donning my warrior gear and choose to look at the positive side of this odyssey....getting healthier, getting stronger, not gaining fat, mental strength, patience. So am I doomed to be the strong fat girl! I'm keeping my calories at a 900+ deficit and eat nutrient dense meals that are wholesome and filling. I'm increasing my fitness regime in monthly increments. I log in daily so aware of my calories, macros/micros, and all the biometrics on the Withings scale. I"m keeping the faith and will reflect at the end of the month. In the meantime, I'll be diligent, kind, and a bit self indulgent with scented epsom baths, the luxury of deep sleep, watching my garden grow, and letting my body know that I am safe and happy so there is no survival need to hang on to the chunkiness. Congratulations to all those that are successful and wishes for patience and knowledge that we will be joining their ranks for the rest of us. Just takes time....and when I think of where I was 6 months ago, I know that I can fly. Just have to let go of the weight holding me earthbound!
9/18 and a 17 day plateau has been broken! I woke up this am grateful for another day on this earth but thinking I really need some validation that all this work is making a difference after 17 days of bouncing between 194.7-195.2. Hang in there for all of you that are frustrated ....it will! I felt a hip bone last night and have lost an inch in my chest (oh well, it is just part of the overall plan and I'll take it where ever it occurs). I never allow myself to get hungry and usually stop eating between 5-6:00. Last night I had a bit of an appetite and had calories left to consume. So I picked the most colorful plate in the cupboard and filled it with fresh chopped cauliflower, grape tomatoes, celery, red bell pepper, and radish. I sprinkled Table Tasty and drizzled Bragg's apple cider vinegar dressing (without olive oil) over the festive plate. This is one of my go-to snacks and I still maintained my 900+ deficit for the day. So satisfying, tasty, and chock full of nutrition....love eating this way! Because I ate later than usual, I was set to receive the same old - same old when I faced the scale. But the science won out....finally a break through! So happy to report good news...but I know I need to maintain a balanced approach. There will be up days and down....the downward trend is bound to happen if I just stay the course. Wishing every one a day filled with joy and making the right choices for you. The magic will happen!
9/19 and there are just. no. words. I stayed the course anyway, finding it a challenge to engage in enthusiasm. The deficit I maintain everyday is suppose to result in a 2 pound/week loss. Let's see what happens tomorrow. I'm always looking for the pony in the pile, and there is a bright spot. I received my new Fenix Garmin and it is amazing!
9/20 and I'm down again and out of the dreaded 195er plateau. I've spent time in reflection comparing this month
's nine pound loss and last month's inability to lose. Three observations:
Last month even though I stayed within my daily calorie budget, I usually ate the full 1055 allotment. Imade
my own salad dressings and that is where I would consumed my fat for the day...nuts or a tablespoon of
seeds in the dressing, or some avocado in the salad. In September, I have been fierce about staying at 10%
in my macros with no overt fat.
I discovered Walden Farms Dressing and went against my principle of eating only whole foods. My
body is not used to processed foods and has never consumed artificial sugar (aspartame - the worst). I've
experimented this month without using the zero fat Walden Farms twice this month and each time I
dropped weight. Maybe just a coinsidence, but this was the only food difference between the two months.
When fasting (both water/juice) in the past I didn't experience lengthy plateaus. My body goes into
atophagy and the energy that was spent on digestion went into healing. I had no hunger pains after the
first 10 days and any plateaus were short-lived. Because I am not fasting now, my body is expecting food,
with the lower amount of calories my body is storing the fat. This would account for the reluctance to
release the pounds. This month frequently my calorie restriction of 998 has been higher.
Because of these three observations, I'm taking the following actions. First, I am discontinuing the Walden Farms Dressing, I'm going to eat the full amount of calories (1055) that are designated to release two pounds per week, and three, I will incorporate my allotted fat for the day back into my salads/dressing.
This adventure is a learning process and I'm willing to be flexible if the current path is not working. Not easy...but I'm sure the rewards will be worth the journey. Staying the course with minor changes. None of this may apply to you as our bodies are different and we each have our own experiences. I'm just sharing my path because I've learned so much from others so, as a usually private person, I'm willing to participate and, at the least offer words of encouragement. I'm sure we can be successful if we are willing to persist when the challenges come.

Day/Weight/Walking distance/Comment:
9/14 167.2 Walked 3.01 Rough trail walk yesterday. Had to do a little rock climbing, nothing too hard but strenuous workout. No clue why my weight is up again today. I have been watching my calories and sodium. Maybe retaining water from tough workouts?
9/15 167.0 Walked 3.05 East breezy walk last night. You guys I love my bf but he makes the weirdest food combinations. Air fried chicken breast - with mushroom pho noodle bowl. He's so proud of himself because he checked the calories and they were both good. Of course not a veggie in sight but he's thinking about my food needs and I appreciate that so much. The sun is shining today, no problem getting a walk in today!
9/16 165.9 Walked 5.08 Beautiful weather, trail close to the house. I guess that bump was water weight as it's gone now.
9/17 166.2 Walked 2.03 Short walk, didn't have a lot of time. Why do I eat Asian food? The calories can be low (if you watch the sauces) and there are a lot of veggies, but the sodium. Oh well. Weather is beautiful again, trying to think of somewhere different to go tonight.
9/18 166.4 Hiked 2.02 I didn't have enough time to do more and I was trying a new part of a trail I do occasionally. I found out it's mostly for bikes, apparently. I almost got ran over so I didn't mind cutting it short. The west side of the road is for hikers and the east side is for mountain bikes, as the biker explained. One very nicely, the other guy was a jerk. If there are no signs, and the website doesn't say anything how are people supposed to know this unwritten rule. Someone almost runs me down and then yells at me. Oh well. Luckily the opinion of a 24 year old mountain biker isn't an important one to me. Happy Friday!!!
9/19 165.8 Hiked 4.03 Had a doc appt and walked after. Everything went well there, my BP was lower than it had been and I got my flu shot.
9/20 164.9 Hiked 1.08 Took the baby with me on a hike in the woods. I cannot recommend strongly enough taking a three year old on a hike in the woods. We walk a little bit in and she says this isn't scary, no tigers, no dinos. We're playing hide-n-seek here. Where is she???

Day/Weight/Comment
09/13 …..212.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/14 …..211.6 ….. Better. I wasn’t perfect yesterday but my carbs were on the lower side and it paid off. Good luck everyone this round!
09/15 …..211.6 ….. I traveled today. I wonder what tomorrow may bring……
09/16 …..211.3 ….. Wonderful news after travel! When I am super low carb, even a small regular meal can put 3-5 pounds on me after travel so I was quite shocked to see a loss. Its very nice, but I know that “regular meals” do not help my diabetes. Only the lower carb ones so I’ve got to eventually go back to finding a balance. I will have to back out slowly (while backing back IN to low carb) to try to avoid those huge sugar drops. I’m formulating my plan. Horrid night last night. I didn’t get to sleep until after 8:00 this morning. My personal and business stresses and situations really got to me last night but I avoided overdoing the bad snacks so I am proud of myself!
09/17 …..210.8 ….. Yay! I didn’t drink enough water yesterday but peed a lot. Goodbye bloat!
09/18 …..210.6 ….. Yay. Two pounds down since the start of the challenge! Hopefully, I can keep on the right side of the tracks.
09/19 …..211.2 ….. Humph…..Sodium.
09/20 …..210.8 ….. And back down it goes. I will try to watch the sodium today and make even better choices. No glucose drops so far so I am happy!

Day, Weight, Comment
09/14: 170.6 (down 1.0 lb from yesterday) Another great running day yesterday, yay for fall! Calories were a little low yesterday, I think caused a headache and bit of nausea around bed time. Need to be better today with making sure I am eating enough of the right things to fuel my body properly.
09/15: 170.1 (down .5 lb from yesterday) Yesterday was my daughter's 1st day of high school (fully remote learning), so we ordered in pizza (her favorite) for dinner. I weighed mine on the food scale and had 2 slices with a salad and stayed in a deficit. Success! Husband is home for dinner tonight, so I am cooking family meal this evening and then we are having friends over to social distance outside so today will not be AF. I've pre-logged 3 drinks, but hopefully plan on just having 2. Going for a run on my lunch hour, which will be much needed with the extra calories planned for today. Will still be in a deficit, just on the higher end of my calories, so I might see a bump up on the scale in the next 1-2 days, but I am okay with that. Super close to being under 170!
09/16: 169.2 (down .9 from yesterday) Under 170!!! Now need this to stick and then keep on dropping:)Yesterday was a good day....went on a run with my husband, made a yummy family dinner, & then enjoyed drinks with friends (while social distancing). Downside of drinking last night, woke up super, crazy hungry which normally does not happen when I am fasting. Also due to drinking last night, my fast started later than normal, so not sure I will get the full 16 hours today, but will at least go for 14 hours. Will be drinking lots & lots of water this morning.
09/17: 172.4 (up 3.2 lbs from yesterday) No, I did not gain 3.2 lbs in 24 hours! Woke up yesterday with an very bad allergic reaction, arms covered in hives, so had to go on a quick round of steroids. When I take these I immediately bounce up around 5 lbs if not more. Not a real gain and will drop right back down and soon as I finish the medication. So I knew this was coming this morning. It's annoying but not discouraging, will keep on doing what I've been doing.
09/18: 172.2 (down .2 from yesterday) Still dealing with allergic reaction and steroids causing elevated weight
09/19: 172.4 (up .2 from yesterday) A couple more days left on steroids, so won't be seeing the scale drop until then. Gorgeous fall day here, was 58 degrees on my run today! Perfect running weather
09/20: 172.4 (no change from yesterday). Last day of steroids, hoping to see a drop on the scale tomorrow! On plan today another run in great weather and husband is home today, so cooking family meal tonight.

Round 1 EW - 158.4
Round 31 EW 142.9
09/14 - 142.7 - A few more days before I go away on holiday - I might be a nerd and take my scale with me.
09/15 - 142.4
09/16 - 142.3 - I do plan to be a bit indulgent over my birthday vacation, but not go crazy. If I do gain a little I will be okay with that. Getting closer to my 50 pound loss now.
09/17 - 141.7 - Good to see this number before heading out on vacay this morning.
09/18 - 142.3 - Happy with this number. Yes, I brought my scale with me
09/19 - 141.6 - Less stress on vacation, more movement.
09/20 - 141.0 - I hit my 50 pound loss today, great birthday present : - ) I am okay if I fluctuate from here, perfect timing (and of course hard work) to hit that number today. I go from obese to just overweight today : - )

Day/Weight/BF%/comment
9/14: 226.0 (+0.6)/19.2 (+0.1).
9/15: 226.8 (+0.8/19.3 (+0.1).
9/16: 227.6 (+0.8)/19.3 (0.0).
9/17: 225.8 (-1.8)/19.1 (-0.2). @quiltingjaine I'm here! I was logging in to post when I caught your notification... I swear! Getting traction has been a real problem for me recently. I'm not eating terribly, but I'm been pretty stuck at home for more than a week with the wildfires (VERY unhealthy air). As if COVID-19 wasn't enough! I'm still weighing in every day. I'm still trying to eat the best that I can. Until the air gets better, exercise really isn't a healthy option. For now, I'm just trying to maintain.
9/18: 225.4 (-0.4)/19.1 (0.0). I had takeout for lunch (I went in to work yesterday), and I had Thai food: it was an amazing cut of beef with lots of steamed vegetables and a little rice. I could have easily finished it (even if I was uncomfortable), but I saved half of it for dinner. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over tonight to watch the Laker game. We're going to have a "Scotch flight" set up (a gift from me to my wife), but I will stick with hard liquor tonight (not more than three ounces, I think). I'm going to try to get some exercise in today (some pull-ups and push-ups at least).
9/19: 225.6 (+0.2)/19.1 (0.0).
9/20: 224.2 (-1.4)/19.0 (-0.1). I was a little "snacky" last night, but overall I did okay. I've been pretty frustrated lately with my recent ups and downs, but I'm REALLY good MOST meals. Not just most days. Even on a day when I would say I'm "off-plan," I'm STILL mostly on-plan. I feel like I'm working pretty hard; I'm just hoping that the scale starts to agree with me a little more often. Air quality here is still terrible; I want to get back to exercising ASAP.
