Round 129

Please join us! Starting on 10/16 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 129
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

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

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

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

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

Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Low carb

10/14 166.2 {Steps 17,850} ~ I don’t understand the slight gain, I hit all my goals w/ my diet and exercise. Hopefully tomorrow it will start going down again.

10/15 165.1 {Steps 16,639} ~Yes went extremely well, I was able to get a couple nice workouts plus I managed to not let food get the best of me. My daughter got her orders to come home from her deployment. Since she’s out of the country, we’re probably looking around Sat. I’m heading to my daughters tomorrow for a few days.

I hit my highest weight in 12 months last round because I have taken my eye off the target. I'm back in now with 5 kg to lose. Back to tracking, counting and posting.

OSW 88KG
RSW 63.4 kg
Target this round to lose 1kg

10/14 63.25 kg. Been sticking to the plan but had a slow gym session this morning. Happy with any drop!
10/15 62.8kg. No gym today as its mother's day so I'm having a day off. Pleased with the loss and keeping on it!

10/16 62.70kg. Weighed later than normal. Back to 4.45am weigh in on Monday. Still making good choices and back in the gym today. Determined to stay mindful over the weekend.

Most of the round is my maintenance week, so still gunning for the goal that was last round's goal. Don't think I was too far off it last round, but the final day was a high weigh in due to takeaway the night before.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 - 72.7 - Weird day at work yesterday. TW: Men being inappropriate at work:

One of the guys I work with turned up to a group social (online) chat just not wearing a shirt. I know it was just a social call, and we're normally fairly relaxed about dress codes (dressing gown and onesies have been a thing before), but that definitely crosses the line. It made me feel really quite uncomfortable, a kinda put a downer on the rest of my day. It also didn't help that I don't particularly like this guy (because he's a massive tool). Managed to set off all my anxiety and social triggers and really put me out for the rest of the day (and screwed getting some work done afterwards). Spoke to HR last night and feeling much better this morning.

Because of that, food wasn't top of my brainspace yesterday. But ended up with a very small deficit for the day. Was really tired and got an early night, so had a much lower expenditure than I normally would. And I think I ended up not having much to drink yesterday evening as I woke up this morning feeling very dehydrated (makes my abs pop though lol). Overall happy with my weight, expecting it to go down a little bit again tomorrow
10/15 - 72.2 - Just over yesterday, countered by the day before's just under. So maintenance is going fine right now. Happy with that weight, hoping it's going to stop bouncing around at some point and stay a little more consistent day by day, but I think that's just me being hopeful. Besides it was only last week I was complaining about getting the same number for several days in a row. It appears I'm never happy. Today I'm WFH and we have our digital teambuilding (read wine drinking time), so I'm expecting to be a little over there, however I'm also expecting to do some physical work as we've got some stuff to take to the tip today, so hopefully I'll get enough exercise to make it work out about even.

10/16 - 71.8 - Wasn't expecting that. Almost certainly massively dehydrated from the wine yesterday. Although didn't drink nearly as much as I used to. I think my tolerance has dropped enormously (not that it ever was that high), probably due to the fact that I don't really drink that much anymore. Food about level, drink pushed it up over somewhat. And I am HUNGRY today. Right now I'm pondering if it's acceptable to nip to the cafe up the road for lunch. They do an excellent fry up. But I really do not have the calories for that, so lunch will be lunch at home. I might be in maintenance week, but that does not give me licence to go away and eat all of the things.

ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT: 122-125lbs.

Previous Round
Round 128: 138-139 (+1)
This is a gain in pounds but yet I feel less dread about the scale. I committed to 10 days of daily weigh-one and I did it! The scale used to delicate my mood. By the end of my 10 days, it didn’t. Hopefully that will continue. I am going to try it again!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 143lbs. (But I didn’t panic!)
10/15 140lbs. (Better but it isn’t making me obsess!)
10/16 139lbs. (Every day the scale matters less and how I am eating and moving and feeling matters more...of course it is nice to see the number go down but I know I can go back up, too. Slow and steady!)

Another goal: Embrace the scale fluctuations and not get flustered.
Previous days

10/14 112.7 This will probably go up because I splurged on Chinese food for dinner. I was so exhausted tonight from moving for three days, work being busy this week and TOM. Now that I do have more control over what we’re eating for dinner, this Chinese food won’t set me back as much as it would have when living with my in-laws. Frankly, I feel like I need a night like this every so often to keep me sane and not as crazy about food. Have a good rest of your night!

10/15 113.2 Did not post
10/16 Haven’t weighed yet today. Food was good yesterday. I had leftover couscous, pork tenderloin, and then a giant apple with peanut butter for my breakfast. Then, a plum for a snack, and dinner was homemade leek, potato, and kohlrabi soup. It was a pureed soup base (leek, onion, and potato) and then I added fresh csa corn from the cob, fresh diced carrots, shredded CSA greens (I think they were collards or broccoli rabe, not completely sure), csa green beans and chicken thighs to give some texture, veg, protein, and color. We also had a salad and a roll with it. Yum! It reminded me of chicken pot pie but a lot lighter. Leftover soup will be dinner tonight or maybe lunch. I’m not sure yet about that. Hoping for today to be a little less crazy with work. We are settling into our new apartment and will be hanging up our pictures this weekend, which will make it feel a little bit cozier.
Happy Friday!!!

🔹Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)

Heading away for the weekend with my hubby this weekend, going to a bed and breakfast and Hiking Mount Greylock which is the highest point in Massachusetts hopefully tomorrow. Depending on whether I might be Sunday. I'm going to just be very careful with calories and I know we're going to be doing a lot of exercise and hopefully my scale won't be too bad on Monday

biketheworld · October 2020

1. Be under 209 - seems a bit drastic but I'm on an uptick so it's completely do-able.
2. Run/walk 15 miles with Tony (see profile pic)
3. Strength train 3 times.
4. Stretch/tone with Essentrics 3 times (check it out - I LOVE this program)
5. Be kind - be generous - laugh a lot - love my fellow human being, even if they cut me off in traffic.

10/16 - 211.0 this is surprisingly fast, but I know it’s because I’ve cut out all the snacking at work and munching at night.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Round 129
Month/Day: Weight / Comment

10/14: 211.0 / no comment other than it is good to be back posting every day. I lost my MFP logging streak somewhere on that fishing lake.

10/15: 209.6 / still feel “full.” (corrected)
10/16: 209.6 / TGIF. It has been a challenging week. DW wants to order out for supper tonight. Worn out from watching DGS all week.
