Hi all, hope you are doing well. I’m without internet at the moment and don’t have much data on my phone so will be missing from here until the problem is fixed. I will be sticking to my normal health goals. Take care 🐝7

11/23179.8Thanks@GrandmaJackie! I need this to not go crazy during the holiday season, so we appreciate you for keeping this going! My goal for this round is to maintain control and not gain overall. I’m sure there’ll be some ups this week, but I MUST remember that it takes a lot longer to get them off than it does to put them on!
11/24 179.6 Good food day, but I've been locked out of the Community now for two days. My home laptop where I keep all my records for MFP was messing up and wouldn't let me in. Now, I restarted the computer and I'm locked out of it all together. (I'm typing all this on Wednesday since I can't get in that computer). I had a different entry written for 11/24 but don't remember what it said and I wasn't able to post it. Oh well. I do remember the weight!
11/25 179.8 The holiday baking has begun in earnest this morning. My 87-year old Mom was admitted to the hospital in NC yesterday. Covid test isn't back yet, but she's in the respiratory wing and my Dad cannot visit her there. He won't let me come home, so I'm baking things she always does and will put together a care package for them when I get it all done (the things that will travel at least.) The good thing is I'll be sending most of it away, so I won't be able to eat as much of it. Gotta get out for a good, long walk today. It will do me good in more ways than one.
11/26 180.2 Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends on here! Really, I think yesterday was the worst of the holiday nibbles day for me--the day I make all the goodies. Heading out here soon to do my 5K, so hopefully that will offset some of the Thanksgiving dinner. Today is about being thankful, and even in a year like this one, I have so much to be thankful for!
11/27 181.4 It was such a beautiful day, we ate outside on the screened porch and enjoyed our special time with our little nuclear family. Now it's time to chip away at the Thanksgiving gain. it's fine. This is a marathon this time. Not sure I'll ever trust myself to go on maintenance again, so gotta treat this like it's a forever thing.
11/28 181.6 Well, didn't do a very good job with mouth management yesterday! Lol. Need to meal plan today and allow myself only small indulgences.
11/29 180.8 Headed back in the right direction! The goodies are holding much less appeal now, and I am much more in control. Had a great exercise day yesterday too, and am not so sore I can't move this morning, so that is definitely improvement.

11/23 Rest day. Only did a one-mile walk with the baby to loosen up. Other than that lots of steps while shopping.
11/24 1-mile walk. Meant to do another later, but it just never happened.
11/25 1.77 mile walk
11/26 1.18 because I'm doing my 5K today and had a knee that was tweaking a little bit. Decided not to push it so I'd be ok to do longer and faster today. I've got to start getting in more miles on a regular basis though or I'm never going to make my end of the year goal. Actually, it may already be too late for that. If so, I'll just see how close I can get.
11/27 Did my 5K yesterday as already noted. Then did another .9 as a cool down and, later, a walk around the block after dinner with hubby for a total of 4.7 walked.
11/28 Walked 3.06 pushing a stroller yesterday and then another .9 last night after dinner.
11/29 30 min Exercise Bike for 7.27 mi.; 3.5 mi. walk pushing stroller; over 19,200 steps
Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 36.68
Kick 2020 to the Curb Goal: 3-30 min exercise bike workouts per week= 105 miles by Jan. 1 in addition to the walking goal I'm already working on.8 -
I just want to say that before we started on the Turkey Trot together, I was having great difficulty doing much of anything other than working and feeding my family. All the 2020 crap had me a bit down in the dumps. I would rarely get more than 4-5K steps in a day, partly because my job is now 100% on the computer and has turned from something I loved doing to a mundane chore. I've never dreaded Monday mornings until these last months. I would only rarely close any of the rings (stand, move, and exercise) on my Apple watch.
Having a group to do the Turkey Trot (and now the Kick 2020 to the Curb) with has made a world of difference for me! I just looked back at my activity in my phone, and since Friday, Nov. 6, I have closed EVERY RING, EVERY DAY and have averaged over 10k steps a day! And I feel like that has made such a difference in my emotional well-being, not to mention my physical well-being. I am thankful for each of you that has been willing to come along on the adventure. If you would like to come along too, all are welcome to participate, so set yourself a goal for the rest of the year, and hop right in with us!

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/23 215.3 Walked 3 miles, 1279 cal, 35 net carbs, AF. Wow! Brunch with the kids to celebrate DH’s birthday … poached eggs on crab cakes with hot sauce hollandaise and skillet hash browns.
11/24 214.1 Walked 5 miles, 1684 cal, 55 net carbs, AF. I know what to do to lose weight I just need to execute and repeat! One slice of pizza with salad instead of 3 slices and no salad. Did splurge on a little yummy homemade mac&cheese with steak and roasted broccoli.
11/25 213.8 Walked 3 miles, tracked, 2 wine, 2 drinks.
11/26 213.6 Walked 3 miles morning + 2 miles evening, cal, net carbs, 2 wine. Fries but no bun with the burger Turkey thawed, side dishes created and in fridge!
11/27 215.6 Walked 3 miles, 2553 cal, 140 net carbs, 3 wine. Skipped lunch after logging my food for dinner in advance! Lovely Thanksgiving meal.
11/28 215.6 Walked 2 miles, 1820 cal, 119 net carbs, AF. Leftover Thanksgiving food galore for lunch & turkey sausage gumbo for dinner.
11/29 214.1 Walked 4 miles in the rain, 1224 cal, 38 net carbs, AF.
Heading to the camp in order to help my Mom (her husband passed away this month) … review her financial situation, review & pay bills, get her Christmas decor out of attic and decorate (plus find a spot for it to store so there is no need to use attic in the future). Remember to care for myself as I care for her.

Joining in for December!
When I set out on this journey in August 2020 I strived for 100 miles walking per month. Accomplished that in Aug, Sept, & Oct. Nov I'm falling short in the 90s. Dec I will once again target 100 miles! PLUS 10x 30 min recumbent bike workouts. AND daily plank (no specific number or time ... just do a plank). Kick starting my weight loss that has been losing momentum before the new year.

Goal for round 133 will be little different from the proceeding because it has some more challenging days in it; Thanksgiving, day after leftovers, 2 travel days. We are traveling but not “for” Thanksgiving. We need to check on a costly property repair and trying to squeeze the travel between two holiday quarantines. In the process, I have pre-tracked until Thanksgiving (current quarantine), and then pre-tracked and purchased all non-perishables for 4 days to start return quarantine, during which I’ll arrange for grocery delivery and post travel COVID testing on day 4 or 5. Then I’ll have two days to shop outside the house before quarantining again so I can see my grandson a little for his first Xmas. That’s the plan but we know is 2020, anything can change. So anyhow….. goal is to complete round 133 with no gain (ie staying at 137.2, or below).
On another note, I am entering an official virtual 5K, the Feaster Five. So I have to walk/run, document and then submit my time sometime this week. I am currently eyeing Tuesday evening.
Previous goals: get under 150; get under 145 for my birthday (10/26); get to pre-COVID weight 142.4, get under 140 before thanksgiving, get to 137.6 (weight on 10/2/19).

Round 133 – starting weight 137.2
11/23 – 137.2 Seems like the number is real (ie 3 out of 4 days in a row). Today is an indoor exercise day since, out my window, it looks like Noah should be building another ark. At least the cats are not demanding their walk.
11/24 – 136.8 Knee and elbows are acting up. I am wondering if my zealous approach towards the 5K and planking is faster than those joints can handle. Plan is/was to walk/jog the Feaster Five virtual 5K this evening. We’ll see how the knees are feeling. I do have other days to accomplish this, but am really hoping that it works out today.
11/25 – 137.8 Ouch, big up. I assume it is a temporary false gain since I have been 137.4 for past 5 days. I would try and blame the macros of last night’s dinner, but I made that same dinner last week for the first time and had a loss the day after. The only other anomaly yesterday was that I completed the Feaster Five Virtual 5K that I entered over the weekend. That was more running than I have done in years. As I mentioned in my 5K blurb last night, I had not run that much since being on the boys track team in 1977 when there was no girls team. I am wondering if that exertion is causing some fluid retention. Either way, it will work out. On another note, working on travel scale correlation in prep for next week and I know it can be wonky. (Home: 137.8 Travel 137.8 – shocking it matched THIS time).
11/26 – 137.0 Thanksgiving – Because I am delivering a separate whole T-day meal to my parents, the majority of my cooking (for both our and their meals) was yesterday. Did my best to account for all those “spoon licks”. What got tracked implies I ate low, but my lack of hunger makes me think I somehow neglected to track things. I just don’t know what. Today, my approach is to eat thoughtfully. Tracking of today’s food is close to impossible with any accuracy, but will see how it goes. I guess I could track portions of “generic” value and accept that that is better than not tracking at all. Other option is to go the “single” dinner plate method ie no weighing, no measuring, but only one plate like one would receive in a restaurant. (Home: 137.0 Travel: 136.2 – maybe I won’t try to pack it…..)
11/27 – 137.4 Wow! What a gift. Something more to be thankful for. The route I went with for yesterday is I pre-tracked quantities, 5 chips, dip, 1 oz salami, 4 oz turkey, ½ cup of each side except ¼ cup of the cranberry sauce. One slice pie, 2 TB whipped cream and my standard coffee. I evaluated and selected what I thought were best matches from the database. The amount was actually perfect! I was going to be under 2000 for the day, with that plan. Then, my son surprised us with cocktails and given there were so few of us to support his effort, I chose to have one – 280 more calories added to the tracker. Had stayed under 1340 calories a day (not net, but consumed) since 10/1/20, and was over by 800+ yesterday. The +.4 was totally worth finally sharing a celebratory day with DH, DS, DD, SIL, DGS. Wish it could have been the regular crowd, and wish my parents felt safe enough to join up. Here’s to t-day 2021. Today’s plan, cautious eating of leftovers, try to fit in a real walk, pack for poorly timed essential travel tomorrow, clean up from t-day and clean house in preparation of son moving in to take care of cats while we are away. Lots to do. Gave up on the travel scale. There are only 3 days I will not have access to a scale, so I am just going to focus on and trust my tracking.
11/28 – 136.2 Happy surprise. Yesterday, I did have leftovers but I pre-tracked the portions throughout the day; pie for breakfast; green casserole and mashed pots for lunch; turkey, gravy, stuffing and more mashed for dinner. Did a walk by pushing my cats in their stroller and cleaned & packed all day. Today is a unique challenge. Flight travel day not FOR Thanksgiving but despite T-day. Need to get to our property that is undergoing major repairs. I have not been there since April. Got my airport/plane safety plan in place. Goal is to stay healthy and keep everyone else healthy as well.
11/29 – DNW - Yesterday was travel. Planned out what I was going to eat and planned in ways to exercise. After the wonky scale results above, I decided to not pack it, but given I went to bed hungry and woke up hungry I doubt it’s an issue. Tomorrow I will have access to my Florida scale that is same make and model as home and will have 11 days in a row using that scale before heading north again. Here’s to hoping the cats are happy my son moved in to take care of them.
11/30 –

11/22 – 50 minutes cycle in two stints. Chose that because was more time efficient for the day.
11/23 – 35 min cycle. Knees are a bit off this morning. Hoping they loosen up/calm down during the day.
11/24 – virtual Feaster Five, 5K - my inaugural 5K, 00:34:54, 11’14” pace, avg HR 162 BPM, finished off with a 5:37 cool down 12’49” for .44 miles, during which I searched for my missing glove.
11/25 – lazy day - 35 minutes indoor cycle to loosen up my muscles.
11/26 – Thanksgiving – I at least got on the bike for 20 minutes, my minimum required from the UAC group that I am also in.
11/27 – Killed two bird with one stone, instead of my solo walk followed by taking cats out on the leashes, I did a 45 minute walk pushing them in their stroller.
11/28 – Flight travel day – to not forfeit my UAC challenge I got on the indoor bike for 20 minutes (my daily minimum), but then at the airport I took a long 30 min double walk through the terminal for 1.53 miles. Not a 5K, but keeping the moving and attitude alive!

11/24 - 158 - I'm sad I've gained 5 since last month, but this is around the weight I've been for most of this year, give or take, so I'm not fretting it too much. I plan of starting my home workouts again tonight.
11/25 - 158 - I did not start my workouts yesterday due to my class schedule, but today is a new day!
11/26 - I forgot again, but I did my workout yesterday (but not tonight).
11/27 - Forgot again... I only remember when I turn on my computer before breakfast, apparently.
11/28 - 155.6 - Probably not a lot of work on my part... I presumed the 158 was retention of water. (I had Friday night snacks, too, so it was really unexpected.)
11/29 - 153.2 - Back to my "set point" I think. I snacked on celery and nuts last night, instead of higher carbs like usual. Still need to incorporate some cardio and more weights.

Okay, back on track today after a little food tantrum yesterday over not losing in R132 despite fewer calories & more exercise. 😁 Hitting the good protein, veggies, fats now through Wed., enjoying TG, then back on track. It’s cold today and there’s still snow on the ground from yesterday, but I’ll get out this afternoon for a couple of miles. I’m thinking of making a pot of minestrone. Mmmmmmm. Comfort soup!
11/24 - 183 - 1311 - 5.5 miles
Aww, come on. Very discouraging. My average calories have been below maintenance for two weeks, macros P20, F40, C40 (mostly veggies, legumes, & whole grains), exercise increased, and I’m not snacking like I was. I even reset my scale in case it was stuck in some sort of loop. I don’t believe in very restrictive, unsustainable diets but I’m thinking of going back to the elimination diet I was prescribed for inflammation a couple years ago. It melted 20 pounds off in no time (but I gained it back plus more in the next 18 months). No walk today — sleet and wind — but I’ll try to do something. Maybe clean the house? Nah!
11/25 - 182.8 - 1591
I had a long think last night about my “struggle” and I’ve decided to take a different approach. Rather than worrying about timed weight-loss goals and calories cutting, I’m going to aim to keep my calorie average about 100 below my estimated maintenance level based on SailRabbit TDEE, MFP’s maintenance number, and my own experience (which I plan to chart in detail today or tomorrow). I’m aiming for more protein, esp. fish, few to no refined carbs, and healthy fats, and only occasional, planned snacking — say, pumpkin pie tomorrow night! I’m also aiming for more movement, including walks and starting to jog, but realistically I’m not likely to do a lot of that in the northern Indiana winter and I’m going nowhere near the gym, so I’ll do what I can. I really might have to do more housework! But as I said yesterday, nah! Ok, tmi as usual. American friends, be safe this holiday.
11/26 - 182.8 - 1441
Happy Thanksgiving!
11/27 - 183.4 - 1916
No surprise there. Leftovers today, and I’m just going to enjoy them, though I’m subbing steamed broccoli for stuffing and having a small piece of pumpkin pie instead of the “healthy” (meaning “not so much”!) piece of pecan pie I had yesterday. My 3.5 mile walk didn’t burn that baby up! I have half the round left to balance things with non-holiday fare. I’m going to try for a walk today, but it’s cold and damp out and I’ve become a serious weather weenie after living on the southern coast of NC for 10 years! We’ll see. I hope those of you who celebrate TG had a lovely day yesterday. Be safe, everyone.
11/28 - 183.4 - 1926
Yep, leftovers. But I started this morning with a high-protein breakfast and have the rest of the day planned for “regular” calories, lots of water, and a walk, even if short. All good. Happy Saturday!
11/29 - 183 - 1771
Still ate too much yesterday — fell off my plan — and I’m feeling overstuffed this morning. Ugh. But I walked about 3.5 miles and plan to get out today. We have snow & ice probably headed our way tonight, which may stifle my walking a bit. It’s sunny if cold now — birds and chipmunks very busy this morning. Mike the cat is runn8ng from window to window, so at least someone is exercising!

11/23 - 155.2lbs. So having started at 155.8 last round and ending at the same weight, I gave up yesterday. Ate slightly more, though still under calories, did no exercise and only doing a little over 1000 steps I woke up to find I'd lost half a pound!

50 days ago, I was 2.5lbs heavier than I am now. 49 days ago I was 6.5lbs heavier! The body is a funny thing! I gained 4.5lbs. over night? Running and working out yesterday, just like every day? Weighing each blueberry and apple and grape tomato. (Not each grapes because they are WAAAY too many calories!) No, I know that is not a "true weight." I am obsessive and I admit I have disordered eating issues. BUT I am getting better for now.
This round MIGHT be my last...because it has helped me so much. However, I want to try to move away from weighing-in every day. These rounds have helped me not to be so dependent on the scale to define myself. I am going to TRY to get weighed every 5 days, so I would have to say good bye to Just Give Me 10 Days.
But I may very well be back! I hope to reach my ultimate weight goal of 122-125lbs. by the end of October of 2021. Slow and steady. And I hope to stay there and not get sick again, like last time...moving my goal to 120, then 118, then 115, then lower and lower until I was eating 800 calories a day and exercising for three hours a day, losing my hair, etc.
It has been a long, hard road, but I am grateful and still the luckiest girl in the world, as I realize that my problems are the problems of the privileged.
STARTING WEIGHT: 338lbs on January 1, 2014
ROUND 133 STARTING WEIGHT ON 11/23: 139lbs.
ROUND GOAL WEIGHT: 139-138.5lbs.
ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT: 122-125lbs.
Previous Rounds
Round 128: 138-139lbs. (+1)
Round 129: 139-134lbs. (-5)
Round 130: 134-137.5 (+3.5)
Round 131: 137.5-134 (-3.5)
Round 132: 134-136.5 (+2.5)
11/23: 139lbs. (I know what this weight gain is. I know it is hormonal or water or whatever! Because it happens EVERY MONTH! And I have been running consistently and counting every grape tomato and weighing every banana! And it takes an excess of 3,500 calories to gain a pound. There is no way I could have legit gained 7lbs. in two days with my energy expenditure and my caloric intake! And I am okay! By Friday or Saturday I will be at 136 or 135! And even if I am not, as long as I am still counting calories and exercising and not bingeing I am okay!)
11/24: 138lbs. (Still on plan!)
11/25: 137.5lbs. (Slow and steady!)
11/26: 136lbs. (Here!)
11/27: 135.lbs. (Stuck to plan! 1152 calories, ran, worked out, didn't binge or restrict and I figure that was good considering many see yesterday as a day of eating. Today is mom's birthday, and I have a wedding rehearsal tonight -small group who will adhere to social distancing today and also for the wedding, but weddings always make the nervous. So we will see if I can keep on track today. Worked out this morning and plan to run before work.)
11/28: 134lbs. (Sticking to plan.)
11/29: 138lbs. (Gained 4 lbs. overnight! Hahha! Not! This would have KILLED me before I started "Just Give Me 10 Days"

Day/Weight/Comment11/23 = 93Halfway point
11/24 = 92.9
I've been reorganizing the hallway storage today and had to pull out bags of my old clothes that gradually multiplied over the years as the weight crept up on me. It's a bit shocking to think of how long I've been repeating the pattern of just buying bigger clothes rather than changing my eating habits.
11/25 = 92.6
The kitchen is my favourite room in the house, I love steaming mugs of coffee on frosty mornings and mixing bowls full of birthday cake batter, I adore catching up with old friends around the kitchen table as we lose track of time. I worked hard to create that bright, cosy, atmosphere in a dark old house and now I think it's time I took my own image on as a project.
11/26 = 92.1
I tried to stay out of the kitchen today, when I'm in there I'm compelled to either cook or eat, so today, unsettled, I drifted around the house searching for a place I could grow my next obsession: getting fit and healthy, and on a different level explore expressing myself through how I dress (an entirely new undertaking for me!)
It's a small house but I think I can free up some space in the hallway -a spot from which I can see my beloved kitchen
11/27 = 91.7
Found it hard to think about anything personal at all today, I spent all my free time worrying about the pets and the garden.
It was hot.
A voice from the wings: How how was it?
It was so hot.
11/28 = 92.1
Today was almost too hot to care about weight loss but with the cool change in the evening I was watering the garden, in that slightly meditative state which watering brings me and my thoughts drifted to the year ahead: 2021 (still sounds like sci-fi!)
I realised I'm confident that next year I can keep going, keep counting kj, and day-by-day keep getting closer to the healthy lifestyle I want (though to be honest I don't know what that looks like yet)
Maybe it should have been obvious that all I needed was a realistic plan and to put in effort every day towards it but for the longest time this strategy simply escaped me.
11/29 = 91.5
It constantly astounds me when I put on clothes that were tight last month, I may not be swimming in them yet but I'm dipping my toe in the water and trying to catch the eye of the most vigilant looking lifeguard
