Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 128

lauriekallis · October 2020

Hello all!

57 years old, 5' 9" Starting weight: 275.6 lbs (20200101). First Goal: 190 - where I was when I quit smoking 4 years ago. Second Goal: 170 lbs. To see how hard it is to maintain. I plan to up my daily calories as I go from 190 to 170 to help transition to maintenance.

Starting Weight 192.4 lbs (started late 10/08) I'm hoping to wake up on Oct 13 at 192 even.

Day/Weight/Comment:

10/08 - 192.4 - 1530 calories.
Fingers crossed! Today's long-planned pizza dinner is the first splurge day since the end of August ... the pizza was great. Walked 17 km - didn't intend to walk that much, but I hope it helps balance the pizza eating! Woke up in the middle of the night fretting about new ultrasound results of a shoulder injury-but some cheese and crackers and a tea with whiskey helped me get back to sleep pretty quickly. And no, I didn't log that 3 in the morning snack - I'm only admitting to it here.

10/09 - 192.6 - 1215 calories.
Pleasantly surprised at this tiny weight increase! Today was pretty good on the food front - evening plans were cancelled so I managed to stay under my new goal of 1300 calories (just couldn't maintain 1200 / day anymore). Walked just over 10 km. Hope that tomorrow morning the scale is kind to me.

10/10 - 192.2 - 1317 calories.
Smiled in the morning. Walked 9.7 km. Good all-round day on the food/exercise front!

10/11 - 191.8 - 1275 calories.
Smiled even more this morning! Maybe I can achieve this modest goal. Walked 15.1 km today and kept just under my calorie goal. Fingers crossed for tomorrow morning's news from the scale. Being so close to my major goal makes it hard to "eat" Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow (I'm in Canada) and indulge in my daughter-in-law's birthday cake. But alas, in the big scheme of things, a pound or two of water weight really doesn't mean anything.

Ready for round 128

SW 294
GW 199
CW 234.8

My goal for this round is to lose 2.8lbs by the end of the round. Good luck to all.

10/4. I weighed in at 232.4, so i've made a big jump to hitting my goal. Walked 24k steps today and im doing great on food, and tracking. Now, I'm gonna do a bit of weight lifting and watch some sports. Have a great night, and good luck all.

10/5 Another great day. I weighed in at 231.7, so i made it! I am no longer obese, just overweight. I ate well, logged everything, and got 25k steps in. I even got into a Large tee shirt for the first time in years. The only downside us, i'm quarantined until my covid test gets back in 48-72 hrs. I dont have symptoms, so i get 2-3 days of more alone time. Tomorrow i think i'll make chili. I have some trinadad scorpion peppers that are supposed to be hotter than molten steel, so we will see how that goes. Anyway, good luck all. Have a great night. I have to go do the dishes.    MIKE

10/6. Had a great day. 24k steps, just over 1200 calories, and weighed in at 229.7 lbs, so i have already beat my goal with 7 more days to go. Had a 3300 calorie deficit today, so tomorrow is shaping up well. Have a wonderful night all, amd lets see what tomorrow brings.   MIKE.

10/7 i had another very good day, and weighed in at 228.4 lbs. I ate well, logged everything, got 24k steps, and even had 2 beers. Covid came back negative and im off quarantine. Hope everyone had a great night, and we'll see everyone tomorrow.    MIKE

10/8. I had a great workout at the gym today. Elliptical trainer to warm up, 30 minute circuit, then some HIIT woodchoppers to finish strong. 24k steps. Weighed in at 228.4 again, but hsd a big win at that world famous menswear store Walmart, whrn i fit in 34 inch jeans. Bought a large snap button shirt that is s shade tight, so that is my next goal. Ate great, had 3 beers and a great dinner of air fryer fried chicken and steamed vegetables. Ovrtall, i couldnt be happier. Good night all. MIKE

10/9. one more good day on my journey. still stuck at 228.4, but im still also very happy with my progress. i got another 24k steps in. dinner with friends and their kids/grandkids, which meant egg rolls amd spring rolls, along with 3 scotch and sodas. but, i still stayed well below target.

tomorrow will be a challenge. my side hustle is making wine at a local winery. we have been closed due to covid, but tomorrow we will be bottling a chocolate raspberry and a meuller thurgau. im exited to get back in the wine room, but tasting our batches is part of the artistry of it. i'll need to watch i dont go apeshit and drink 1000 calories of wine. anyway, i hope everyone had a great night and wish everyone a wonderful weekend.    MIKE

10/10. put in a hard workout, in the wine shop. seriously, there is a lot of physical labor in making wine. i ate well, and drsnk well too, but stayed within limits. scale stsut ed on 228.4 , but im really happy. i have already bearen my goal for this round, so, I'm playing with house money. stay strong and safe all.   MIKE

10/11. tough day today, but i stayed within boundaries and did just fine. a little higher on calories and down just a shade. However, i stayed within my limits. stayed at 228.4 lbs, but, that is just fine. 2 DAYS TO GO! Good luck all.   MIKE

At the end of last round I had a massive fluctuation down on my final day, which of course screws up my numbers for this round, so I'm aiming to get to that number again, but properly this time.

Day/Weight/Comment

Day/Weight/Comment
10/04 - 72.8
10/05 - 73.0 - Hmmm. It's been a odd few days. I found myself falling back into old habits, but I have been logging, and honestly it's not quite as bad a picture as I thought it was. My few 'days of weakness' have still left me with a week's deficit averaging at 219kcal per day. While it's not as aggressive as I'd like, I honestly thought I'd just had an unintentional maintenance week, so having over 200kcals per day deficit is an amazing win for me. But on that note I think I'm going to book myself a maintenance week in October (maybe next week). I always find them helpful when logging is getting me down a bit. Besides, I always find it amazing how much more I can eat when I don't have to carve out a deficit for myself. Give me hope for when I do reach my goal weight for maintenance.
10/06 - 72.6 - Oh I don't know anymore, I'm tired. Probably a fluctuation down. Lazy logging yesterday. And quite a lot of chocolate. I have booked next week for maintenance. I definitely think I need it.
10/07 - 72.6 - Looks like I'm going to be milling around this number for a little longer, I can deal with that. Unfortunately my fitbit ran out of battery yesterday so apparently I went over my maintenance. I don't think I did really as the number it gives me when it's not on my wrist is ~400kcals lower than my average daily burn. Not that I think yesterday was an average as I stayed in the office all day and didn't wander out at lunchtime, but still. Eating was good, had what felt like a very indulgent dinner, but turned out to be a nice moderate sum of calories. If I'd held off from the yoghurt for dessert then I would've been under calories for the day, even without any extras from exercise. Even so, good day all in all. Left overs for lunch today.

10/08 - 73.0
10/09 - 72.6
10/10 - 72.7
10/11 - 72.2
10/12 - 72.5 - Yes it's been a while, I'm still logging every day, but coming on here seems like such an effort. My diet break couldn't have some at a better time, I NEED this rest from the deficit. Having to constantly -think- about how every single mouthful is going to effect my weight loss efforts is becoming very tiring. Allowing myself an extra 500kcals a day is already a weird thing to think about for today as I went into deficit most and made myself a salad for lunch, and then remembered and so added a packet of crisps as well. And seeing my remaining amount and not thinking "gosh that's not very much for dinner" is a very strange experience. A quick summery of yesterday: went for a 12k hike around the South Downs. And I really enjoyed it. I feel like I could've gone longer as it was a lovely day and lovely views, although I'm also happy I stopped when I did as my feet were just starting to hurt, and I am so feeling it in my legs this morning.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/04 - 142.5 - We picked up some crusty homemade bread yesterday and I've been indulging. I expect to see the results over the next few days, so I'll have to be especially mindful this week and freeze the leftover bread.
10/05 - 142.5
10/06 - 142.5
10/07 - 142.5 - My scale was bouncing all over this morning so I'm taking the average.
10/08 - 141.5 - I had an appointment at a corporate client office yesterday. It's been a over a year since I've seen the controller there and since I've pretty much stayed around maintenance since then I was surprised when she asked if I had lost more weight. I said "Oh no, I'm still around 142." Then I laughed and said "I'm so used to telling people on MFP what I weigh every day, I forgot most people wouldn't dream of it."
10/09 - 142 - My step-daughter and her family flew up from Florida yesterday and we're having a socially distant bonfire tonight. I'm eating light today since I'm sure there will be plenty of food and "beverages."
10/10 - 142.5 - The next few days will tell the tale of the past couple days. I've had a good time though and this doesn't happen often.

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 !

Challenge for this round will be the start of our fortnight's holiday 19th onwards, but goal for this round – to lose a pound. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/04 133.8 - no structured walking yesterday due to travelling back home and persistent train ?, hence eating yesterday was at maintenance level. Really hoping this rain stops soon ,?.
10/05 133.2 - 9.55 miles walked yesterday, 774 calories in credit, all macros in green. Feeling refreshed after holiday and ready to push on.
10/06 133.2 – 6.26 miles walked yesterday (struggling to get miles in with the rain!) 28 calories in credit but 15g carbs over.
10/07 133.6 - 11.08 miles walked yesterday, so pleased the rain held off during the morning. 869 calories in credit, all macros in green.
10/08 133.6 – 12.7 miles walked yesterday, 724 calories in credit & all macros in green.
10/09 133.6 – only 3.83 miles walked yesterday, running around following my 2.5 year old DGS around a country park, jumping him over logs, rocks, splashing through puddles – you get the picture!! Hence 427 calories, 107g carbs & 7g fat over. Todays a more easily controlled day, but Friday is pizza night !!!
10/10 133.6 – 9.4 miles walked yesterday, 521 calories in credit & all macros in green.
10/11 133.4 - 7.54 miles walked yesterday. 328 calories in credit, all macros in green. Ready to move down out of the 133's now!!
10/12 133.4 - 13.48 miles walked yesterday on Cannock Chase, our local AONB, fabulous autumnal colours in the trees and we were treated to the sight of a stag crossing the path in front of us on three separate occasions – such an amazing sight, wonderful antlers. 791 calories in credit, all macros in green.

10/12 - 152.1 - Coming back down. There was pizza yesterday and that's likely what's holding me higher than I'd like. Fasted for 18.5hrs yesterday and was good about it. Starting getting a little hunger-nauseous when discussing food. so I think my body was trying to tell me it was hungry. Still learning to recognize those signals again. Going for a 19hr fast today to readjust my eating window to dinner timeframe (I finished dinner quite early compared to our normal time). Hoping for a walk today, but dependent on how work is. Going out to the far west of Texas, near Mexican border on Friday to camp and hike, which I'm really excited about. Its my birthday present from Fam (they've never been, either, and wanted to go). I need to get out there and push myself on some walks to be prepared!
10/13

Previous Day's Comments

10/04 - TOM arrived so I think the drop was more from that than anything. Went out for a couple drinks with the Entire Texas Fam after some outside drama almost split us apart and things got hectic. We are all good and it was muuuuch needed for us all to go have fun like we did beginning of summer (with COVID restrictions -- Oktoberfest is happening in town but they knew of a little outdoor bar/food/live music place that was NOT at all crowded, thankfully). Didn't track because I was taste testing some different foods that were ordered and not entirely sure of counts. Stopped when I felt satiated. Eating window was extended a bit so I switched back to 16-8 for the weekend. I need to be flexible and fast AROUND my life, not live around my fast. With our football weekends, 16-8 is way more in-line and doable with my life, while 18-6 or 20-4 is much easier/more natural for me on weekdays. Being flexible will also help me continue fasting instead of falling off on weekends. Ribs are good this morning so tomorrow should be good for walking with the pup again. Making my beloved spinach artichoke dip today for football watching, not sure what else is on the menu.
10/05 - All good, expected sodium bump. Ended up having finger foods for the games yesterday so not real set meal times and everybody brought a little something. Based on my best estimates of tracking, I managed my calorie goal but my fast was shorter (13.5hr) and eating window a little longer. Switching back to 18+hr fast today (130pm or later). Water was good, not the best, but I'll take it. Food was delicious and my spinach artichoke dip was a hit with everyone -- even requests to make it again! Going to try for a walk today once doggo decides to wake up (she stayed in bed with dad). Hoping to drop sodium weight in hopes that come Friday/Saturday, I'm in a good place for birthday celebrations. Our friend's daughter's boyfriend turns 21 on Saturday (we have a surprise party for him) and she opens her coffee shop on Friday. I'll celebrate her (re)opening and my birthday Friday with a coffee and snack. She lost her shop due to covid when the renters wouldn't allow her to do curbside and are now not allowing her to renew. Luckily, she was able to find another place to rent and set up (: So proud of her (she's 20 and already owns a business!)
10/06 - Its okay, sticking with it and it'll drop. Feeling bloated and a bit crampy all over- probably combination of hormones, sleeping funny, and pizza for dinner. Was watching football and working on bug only to see pizza arrive. Guess its that or nothing so I had a couple slices and was satisfied. Was quite salty and thin crust so believing its more sodium bloat being maintained than carb bloat which would explain fingers being a tad puffy. Slept ok, but definitely woke up in a couple odd positions a few times. Probably won't walk today, yoga instead? My new yoga mat came in so I can finally get back to that. Walking is my cardio, yoga is my "weights" since I always get shaking muscles (: Walk yesterday was good, but I can tell I'm getting bored of my route through the neighborhood. Its tiny, so no way to switch it up, really. I'll have to ask around where dogs are allowed that aren't likely to be crowded so we can do something different and enjoy it. BF made breakfast yesterday so broke fast at 16hrs yesterday. Going for 18+ today with plenty of water to flush the bloat out and be on my merry way!
10/07 - There's the drop I was waiting for. Definitely FEELING (and weighing) less bloated, but looking more bloated in the belly? My BF% went up 1% since yesterday so there's something more to drop, but I can be patient (to a point). Reading "Fast, Feast, Repeat" by Gin Stephens. I'm already past the start point of her FAST Start 28 day, but I figured I'd follow her instructions and take measurements bi-weekly as body recomposition will not always show on the scale as a drop (hello muscles!) Fasted 18hrs yesterday, happily. Was veeeery hungry by the time dinner hit, as it was a bit later than normal (eating window extended by 10 minutes to allow me time to eat once it was done) despite having lunch. Didn't get to do yoga yesterday so hoping I'll feel more inclined today before I break my fast -- depends on my headache and general grogginess. Woke up at 330 only to toss and turn until my alarm ): On the fasted workouts chapter and excited to learn the science behind it. I've always had to work out in a semi-fasted state (3-4hrs since last meal) or I'll get nauseous. Walking is okay, but I am slower if I'm full. Yoga is definitely a no-no with anything in my belly (even too much water).
10/08 - All good! Normal sodium fluctuation from homemade shrimp lo mein last night. Actually expected to be much higher than this, honestly. Fasted 18hrs no issue. Didn't quite hit water goal. Got a nice yoga practice in, though! Meetings for work today so may try to squeeze in a yoga practice in between them. Not sure what's for dinner today, but its Thursday Night Football so there will be something delicious (: Still learning my ghrelin and leptin cues from my body instead of counting calories so we shall see how the weekend goes for me doing that (today is my Friday at work).
10/09 - Officially my birthday. Surprised the scale went down, I had a longer eating window (but managed a 17.5hr fast prior to it) because they all threw me a little bitty surprise party! Some friends left early this morning for Colorado so we made my party last night instead of today. Couldn't get tamales so had homemade street tacos and our dear friend made banana cupcakes (usually not a sweets eater, but I had to try one! Plus BF smushed half of his in my face as is his little tradition). It was fun, though. Opened up my window to 16-8 but may push it a little further out into afternoon, depending on how I feel. Eating was so late, my 16hr fast ends around the same time my normal 18hr fast ends hahah! There was also talk of going out tonight on the town for a few drinks to celebrate on my actual birthday and I want to make sure I'm not going too overboard. I'm a little peckish right now but that will pass soon enough, I think, and I can push further. Tomorrow is the big OU-Longhorn game (BF huge OU fan) at noon and another bday party at around 530 (when birthday boy gets off work) so I'm not sure how that will go. Don't want to stress it, but I'm also in a transition period when my body is adjusting to longer, more true clean fasts that I don't want to completely undo all my work so far and feel as if I'm starting over. Hopefully my body is willing to communicate in ways I can now understand! I might be able to get away with water looking like a mixed drink so I don't get questioned (:
10/10 - DNP
10/11 - Birthday celebrations, yay! Don't remember if I mentioned my NSV of my belt getting one notch tighter, but despite the weight gain, the belt has stayed one notch tighter. My belly stayed flatter, too, so I'm not at all worried. The shorter fasts I've done have still managed to keep my bloating down, yay! I'd love to see the 140s, but after reading the books on fasting (and finding yet another book), I'm quite content with my NSVs regardless of weight. I'm fasting today, hopefully 18hrs as I'm already sitting at 14hrs in now. Just need to focus on water until then (and during my window). Going to take a walk to Fam's house later (BF and FamWife have work so they're teaming up to help each other knock as much out before football starts as possible. He already left without telling me). I haven't been very good about getting movement in, so I may take the long way to their house to up my steps a bit more. Have a beautiful day, everyone!

@CamandJarvis - Love NSVs!!! CONGRATS!!!

THANK YOU! It was a huge deal to me as I've gotten my belt down to that before, but it was through calorie restriction and non-consistent fasting. The weight and bloat came back immediately. Now, even when my weight bounced up, it stayed. Its a sure sign I'm not perfect, but I'm on the right track. I needed that to help me shift my mindset about the scale (:

Day/Weight/Comment

10/04- 189.2 I ate a salty snack last night after a couple of drinks with friends. Obviously here it is on the scale! Back on track today, target calories all week is 1350, no alcohol and keep up my steps. Estimated cals yesterday : 1588.

10/05- 189.4 hiked 5 miles yesterday in the beautiful weather. I saw that my BF% was down a lot on the scale so a lot of water hanging around still. Hoping for better weigh in tomorrow. Estimated cals yesterday: 1282

10/06- 187.2 now that's more like it. Finally the whoosh. Estimated calories yesterday: 1473 little higher than I wanted, I'm trying to adjust my macros a bit to have more protein.

10/07-186.8 great can it stay now? Estimated cals yesterday ended up going over AGAIN, I even preplanned my day but was hit by a migraine in the afternoon and was comfort eating. (~1675, still well below maintenance, but!)

10/08- 187. 8 answer to above question: no. Calories came in at 1706, I'm struggling a bit with staying on target, not sure why. Maybe I was just feeling deprived a little, and giving a bit more wiggle room to make me feel like I can make it a lifetime not just a diet. Already got my steps in for today, 2.45 miles in the beautiful 70 degree sunshine with my dog.

10/09- 187.0/186.8 my scale couldn't decide. lol I'm going with the lower. total cals yesterday 1638. ladies happy hour tonight so saving my calories for that. Happy Friday y'all !

10/10 186.4 I thought my scale would be up due to salty dinner out last night, really hard to estimate calories but I did the best I could. maybe 2000? drinking water today as I have a bit of a headache.

10/11 187.8 again. I ate pizza for dinner so water weight. total estimated cals 1428 yesterday.

10/12 187.0 better than yesterday! maybe I'll make my goal for this round after all. fingers crossed, salty water weight be gone! estimated total cals yesterday 1561

Monday. Here you are again. I've got another big to do list, so here I go! Wishing everybody a wonderful week and a strong end to the challenge.

Goals for challenge:

1. Keep weight below 220.
2. Focus on getting exercise throughout the day.
3. Strength train twice in the next 5 days.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/04 Birthday and traveling! Took a half hour walk on the DC train platform and did squats in my roomette.
10/05 Still on the train. Tried to have short dance parties periodically.
10/06 First day in New Orleans! Walked 2+ miles to grocery stores.
10/07 Still waiting on the scale. First walk in Audubon Park.
10/08 219.7. FBG 99. Busy day at work. But I'm going to strength train and cook today.
10/09 219.7, FBG 109.
10/10 218.7. FBG 104.
10/11 218.6, FBG 100.
10/12 218.6, FBH 111. GAAAH BLOOD GLUCOSE WHY. I should stop measuring it. I was measuring it in the hopes of seeing success, but instead I'm just seeing a lot of fluctuation that I have difficulty tying to specific food choices. I know that I need to add more "leafy" greens to my diet, so I'm going to do that. More frozen spinach in my giant soup. Done. Yesterday was a great day exercise wise - I took a walk by the river (so beautiful!) and then I actually did a full Obe strength training routing. I have met my Strength Train twice goal!

Going for another round. If I lost another 2 lb this round, that would be amazing but will be happy with anything under 146.0 at the end.

UGW 129.0

Round 126 equivalent: -3.8
Round 127: -2.0

Round 128 – starting weight 147.2

10/04 – 146.6 Good morning. Tracking going fine, and I joined three other October challenges overlapping this on. Two are just pushing exercise, while the third is a daily accountability of tracking, < target calories, and over 20 min exercise. Staying under my target calorie number AND burning 200+ calories a day is becoming hard rapidly. I am hungry all the time. Down 1.8 lb in 3 days, and 6.4 lb in just under 3 weeks. I am happy with the loses, but I need sustainable as well. I may have to redefine what is “staying under goal calories”.

10/05 – 147.2 Weight makes more sense for 3 weeks with a total of -5.8. Still hoping to end the challenge between 145.8 and 145.2.

10/06 – 147.4 Another up, exercise and tracking does not predict this, Continue with watchful waiting.

10/07 – 146.6 Full circle, back to the 146.6. At least this time, it is closer to logical. (Note: hoping for 144 for 59th bday on 10/26)

10/08 – 146.4 Proud of myself last night for stopping myself from stress eating during the debate. Need to just leave the TV off

10/09 – 145.8 This was a happy surprise. Though all my numbers were good, I was mentally preparing myself for a gain today given how the rest of my numbers this week had been going.

10/10 – 146.0 The tiny seesaw continues. End of day dinner was heavier than typical, though I kept under my target calories for the day.

10/11 – 146.4 argh. I am assuming results of high sodium yesterday and don’t have hope for tomorrow’s number as I am fitting in two slices of pizza and one cookie today at a socially distanced backyard memorial to my FIL today. Still keeping the numbers good. I know it will pay off in the long run even if individual days are frustrating.

10/12 – 146.0 back again! Was hoping to finish this challenge under 146. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Yesterday did include that 2 slices of pizza and a choc chip cookie, so macro profile was a little different. In the past I have found that can alter short term scale readings. Today has potential to be another high sodium day. So I want to watch that so that whatever is on the scale tomorrow AM, I have nothing to blame.

10/04 199 getting tired of seeing this number. No TV for 3 year olds this weekend. At school they were play fighting and she broke his glasses on purpose. I HAVE BEEN SO MAD. So this week I am going to watch my wine consumption and practice mindfulness
10/05 199.1 I love them but I now am beginning to understand the term brain damaged from Sinbad or Bill Cosby Himself. You feel like you keep repeating yourself and repeating yourself and repeating yourself and when you lose your mind and they look at you like your crazy. I feel like a crazy person right now. I took them for a walk yesterday and got a dance in yesterday and did 4 loads of laundry. 15887 steps and 1851 calories.
10/06 197.6 home with a sick daughter. Her asthma tends to act up at this time of year. The school will not do nebulizers anymore. I do like the progress
10/07 198 yesterday 1815 calories 11638 steps two short aerobic workout. My calves are sore this morning. I did some serious stretching this morning and a low impact workout. I might get a walk in this afternoon but nothing too strenuous. Progress is slow but it is happening.
10/08 198.6 going the wrong way. 1706 calories 15019 steps
10/09 197.5 There it is. Went way over in calories but did well in steps. I am hungry. New England is cooling down and eating is just natural. My snacks seem like they are not enough anymore. I think next week I will try an afternoon tea. Black cherry tea with lime juice. Drink it slowly and it should curb this hunger. This time of year is hard. Apple picking with my babies this weekend. Hayride and playground. I cannot buy any fudge. Now that’s it’s in print. I won’t.
10/10 198.1 hungry so hungry. No matter what I've eaten today I am still hungry. since 10am very large breakfast still hungry all day...
10/11 198.6 won’t even tell you how bad my calories were yesterday. Apple picking today.
10/12 197.6 Yesterday not as much eating very active. 19061 steps 1987 calories. Still way under based. That farm was very large and very dirty. Legs are sore today.

So very happy that this challenge is still going strong! The last time I did this was years ago and it worked so well. I stopped for a variety of reasons but am excited to be back!!

I anticipate some quick weight loss in #s this first week since I am looking to cut out (again) major foods that sincerely do not agree well with my body and leave me swollen and generally feeling unwell.

Goal: 5lbs - not sure if that’s too ambitious, but we will see. I have a lot of deflating to do !!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/04 - 178.5 so swollen today, looking forward to progress.
10/05 - 176.5 - starting the process to find my real current weight, usually takes a day or two to get rid of swelling
10/06 - 173.5 - I technically hit my goal but in all honesty I got food poisoning yesterday.. I expect an increase in a few days lol
10/07 - 175.5 - seems more accurate .. finally ate food last night 👍
10/08 - 172.5 not sure what’s happening .. I’ve cut out those things that don’t agree with me but I think I just need to give this at least a week to understand where my real weight is at!!
10/09 - 175.5 again. My scale only goes by 0.5.
10/10 - 174.5 🤷🏻‍♀️
10/11 - 174 - I ate too much salt but seems like I drank enough water to make up for it! I think these numbers that I’m seeing are finally my actual weight
10/12 - 174.5 - had chips & candy right before bed, need to better control those urges! They get me every time.

Better day yesterday in terms of food, though I did have some air-popped popcorn in the evening. I spent most of the day painting our interior doors 🚪, which I find very calming and meditative. I seem to be nesting like crazy! It’s cold and rainy this morning — a good day to stay in and do the final coat and then curl up to read or knit. ☕️🛋📚 Have a lovely day, all!

10/5 - 182.4 - 1534 - 🍌
Bump from a few days ago, I’m sure. Chilly & foggy this morning, but it’s supposed to warm up and be back in the 60-70s the rest of the week. Good — I have a couple hundred bulbs to plant! (I went a little nuts at the bulb store!) I finished painting all the hallway doors on the hallway side. Today I need to do a few room-side doors, and maybe start on the armoire I’m making into a pantry. Wheee! Keeps me from sitting around munching — maybe I should do more of the same at night! 😁 Anyway, happy Monday, all!

10/6 - 182 - 1701 - 🍨🍿☹️
Ok, I snacked last night. I also took a nice long walk, and was active most of the day, so not too bad. Today will be better! And I’m off to vote — first day of early voting here in Indiana. Then I’m planning to putter in the garden a bit, and go for a walk, and make a pot of minestrone. Anything to avoid my real work (writing), which I can do when it’s gray and gloomy and cold.
🤓📚💻✍🏼👩‍💻

10/7 - 182 - 1550 - late lunch, late supper
Yesterday was a strange day — waited three hours to vote, but the crowd was inspiring, so that was fine. Schedule was off the rest of the day, though. It’s gorgeous and warm today — yay!

10/8 - 181.8 - 1308 - 🍿
Ok, I behaved myself pretty well yesterday. I did indulge in some popcorn, but overall my numbers were good, and I spent lots of time working in the garden. All good. I’m really enjoying these gorgeous October days!

10/9 - 181.6 - 1637 - 🍿
Wow, another gorgeous day here. I’m counting my lucky stars, knowing that many people are living with disasters. I hope you’re all safe. This afternoon my creativity group of four is meeting, probably our last in-person gathering for a while unless we have a warmer-than-usual start to November. We can zoom, but it’s not the same. Sigh. Anyway, I’m baking maple pecan cookies (70 cal each) and I’m sure there will be other munchies, so I have to watch myself. This morning, post cookies, I’m going to start planting my bulbs. I went a little crazy buying bulbs, so my work is cut out for me! 🙂 And yes, @quiltingjaine , I will sit my fanny down and write. A little. 🤓

10/10 - 183 😳 - 1925 best guess 🙄 - snacks galore
I munched way too much during my group’s Last get together of the year (unless Nov is really warm!). Our host had mimosas for us — usually we drink coffee! — and lots of salty and sweet treats, plus my cookies. I ate more chips than I’ve eaten in the past year, and crap I never eat, like candy corn. I could seem to stifle myself. Oh, well. Life goes on, and I know this quick gain is water and my calorie average over the past week is ok. I had a low cal breakfast and have the day planned and will try hard to stick with the plan. Have a good weekend, everyone. I’m off for a walk, then planting my 200+ bulbs.

10/11 - 182 - 1564 - 🍨
Better. I told DH not to let me have any more ice cream. I know I’m snacking on that sort of stuff because I’m mildly depressed. I need to walk more, write more, get back to painting (mostly watercolor, some oil), knit while I listen to music or books.... I’m also going to try to send a card and note to one person a day I haven’t spoken to in too long. I really miss seeing my people!

10/12 - 182 - 1708 - 🍿
Not great yesterday but not too bad, either. Today we’re ordering Greek food, a tradition to celebrate the day we met — 29 years ago today. ❤️ I’ll try to keep the day’s total under control, but plan to enjoy my celebratory meal!
