Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 135

-
I am going to try something different this round. I thought that a daily weigh-in was required but then I noticed that some people don't weigh when they go away and/or some times a day or two is missed, intentionally or unintentionally, so I figure it is okay!
I have the honor of officiating at a wedding (socially distanced, 8 people!) and I will be away from the scale for two days. So I figure this is a good time to try and experiment with my always worried, always number-obsessed mind! I will comment every day but I will get weighed only twice, on the 20th before I leave and on the 23rd, my morning home. We'll see how it goes!
STARTING WEIGHT ON 12/1/2014: 338lbs
ROUND 133 STARTING WEIGHT ON 12/13/2020: 137.5 lbs.
ROUND GOAL WEIGHT: 137.5 - 137 lbs.

DAY/WEIGHT/COMMENT
12/13 – 137.5 lbs. (5 pound gain over night even though I stuck fully to plan! This would have killed me before but I know this is not real! Long run is important! I have to remember that!)
12/14 – Ran, exercised, ate all according to plan!
12/15 - Very odd...it is easier to walk past the Twinkies than walk past the scale! I ALWAYS weighed in today...I played all the mind tricks, "I will look at it but not record it." "I will get on but not look." But I didn't! I did run, workout and eat according to plan, however!
12/16 - Didn't weigh today! Ran and exercised. But I am nervous...we are closing early today at work because of the winter storm. I am quite worried about being home alone and eating...it will be okay. It will be okay. It is just that usually I am at work until 7 or later in the evening. Today I will be there hours before that...ugh. Okay. I can do this! And if I don't...it isn't the end of the world. I am just going to try my best.
12/17 - (I made it through. I did eat more than usual, yet nothing "bad" like no added sugars just more veggies, fruit and I counted everything and measured portion sizes on scale. So while I feel like I gave in to eating more when stressed I think that I allowed myself to adapt my plan. And that is something I just feel like I can never do but I think I was able to reason "Hey...it is okay to figure out how to best be healthy and care for yourself, even your emotional needs" and I stayed within control and didn't let my disorder control me.)

Please join us! Starting on 12/13 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 135
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

@jaccimc63 A good friend (husband) was dealing with this last year. Treatments ended around May. He is doing well at this time. Hoping first of all, your husband does not have the cancer, but if not, here's to hoping for an easy treatment and speedy recovery.8

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment
12/13 - 182.8 - 1626
I’m currently up 50 stupid pounds from Nov. 2018. That’s 2 pounds a month. I’m so disappointed in myself, though of course regaining lost weight is the norm. I don’t want to be normal. I don’t like to set weight goals because I can’t control my weight, only what I do about it, but I’m shifting gears and setting goals of 155 by 1-1-22, and 130 by 1-1-23. I’m ordering warmer clothes for winter walking/running and I’m determined to stick with it. It took me 3.5 years to lose 84 pounds, which is an overall average of 2# per month (there were faster periods and plateaus), but 2 per month seems realistic for me. I did it before, I can do it again. I just have to quit pretending otherwise.
12/14 - 182.8 - 1372
Yesterday was good. No nighttime noshing. Plenty of protein. A little exercise despite the cold wind. Happy Monday, all!
12/15 - 182 - 1368
Another good day yesterday. I did have a whole-grain English muffin with natural peanut butter last night because I was really hungry, but calories good anyway. Off to the post office with final “away” gifts — aaacccckkkkkk! Lines! Be safe, all.
12/16 - 182.6 - 1716
Oops. But my weekly average is below TDEE, so there’s that. Cold and snowy today, but my garden looks peaceful and lovely. I hope everyone in the path of this big storm is safe and warm.
12/17 - 182.2 - 1626
A bit better. Calories acceptable, and no late-night snacking. I’ve really had the urge to bake, but since I can’t disperse the results very well, I’ve resisted. I will bake myself a cake next week, though, and take some to friends & neighbors. My fleece-lined longies arrived, so I’ll give them a test run today — high expected 32F. Brrrrr. It’s been nice, though, sitting inside, looking out at the snow, knitting in the glow of the Christmas tree. We were lucky to get just the edge of the big storm. Be safe & warm, all.

@jaccimc63 I’m so sorry about your husband’s potential bad news. I hope it’s a false alarm. In any case, don’t add to your stress by over-worrying about your weight, but, having been through a stress-induced illness, I’d urge you to eat good, whole foods and limit those that promote inflammation (sugar especially). Take care of your DH and yourself through this difficult time.

@jaccimc63 🙏🙏Prayers for a favorable outcome for your husband.🙏🙏3

@SheilaBoneham Trade you. Apple Watch says 19 degrees and I think that is after warming a little today. I do need to figure out what leg wear to wear. I have leggings I love, but I manage to wear them even in the summer so not the best for winter. What did you buy?1

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.

12/13 118.0 Virtual sew day with the ladies
12/14 119.0 Sat in a chair all day yesterday but got SOOO much accomplished. Sewed blocks into rows for quilt top started 18 months ago, sewed together blocks for a wall hanging after figuring out how to compensate for one really wrong size block, crocheted some on a shawl started over a year ago. See a pattern here? I feel good about what I did and the soup I made myself was delish and within my macros. Did not drink enough water AND got up 3 times during the night because I was thirsty and needed to pee! Push water today!!!
12/15 117.5 Still didn’t drink more than 2.5 qts of water. I only count plain or sparkling water - not coffee or seltzer/vodka.
12/16 117.5 Awake at 4:40AM with headache, gave up and got up, it’s finally getting better. Darn arthritis!
12/17 117.5 Husband has eye exam this afternoon so I will walk around Walmart while he’s there.
MAYBE this round I’ll move.

Hi, I’m Karen, in my 50’s
OSW Sept.
2018 187
12/13-165-Where I started last round. I’ve eaten good over the weekend, just some salty food. It started raining on the way home from my bike ride Friday and hasn’t stopped. Hopefully I can get a walk in today.
12/14-DNW- I ate well over the weekend and had zero alcohol, but because of the rain, nonstop, I did not get any exercise.
12/15-161-IF 17hrs. Handyman finished my sewing room yesterday; waiting for the cabinet doors to arrive. I just need to do some organizing. It was fun having him here on and off for the last 6 months since we moved in., he was our builders foreman and was here every step of the way, building our house. I’m old enough to be his mother, but he was my little buddy.
Hoping for a bike ride or long walk today. Rain has stopped and it is very cold.
12/16-164-IF 17 hrs. Made salmon cakes and found Brussels sprouts on the stalk; they were super fresh. Only biked 7 miles, lots of mud and mean country dogs which dampen the joy of a good long ride.
12/17-161-IF16 hrs. Only walked 2 mi. and had to do a bunch of shopping. More rain, so I’ll walk on roads today.
Goals:
Ride 10, mi., Walk 5 mi. Or Skate 1 mi.
Bike=48 mi. total
Walk = 19 mi.total
Skate=1 total5 -
@jaccimic63-Good luck to you and your DH in dealing with that. 🌸4

@jaccimc63 I hope the appointment goes well and is a false alarm. If it doesn't, I hope he has a speedy treatment and recovery (also, don't be afraid of second opinions if the first doctor doesn't feel quite right in your gut). Remember to take care of yourself during all of this too.4

Round 133 (8): 138.8 to 137.0 (-1.8 lbs)
Round 134 (9): 137.0 to 136.6 (-0.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Continue to do yoga nightly
- Lose 1 - 1.5 lbs
12/13 - 136.8 - Feeling incredibly bloated and yucky today. Not a great start. I managed to get up and make myself do 45 minutes of Just Dance, which helped me feel better but obviously the scale is still high. I’m going to try and relax as much as possible for the rest of the day - as much as the kids let me!
12/14 - 136.8 - Yeah, so much for resting yesterday. I was on my feet all day long chasing kids, doing curbside pickups or making my meal prep for the week. I’m happy to get back to the meal prep though - it makes it so much easier to stick to my daily calories when I’m not figuring out on the fly what to eat.
12/15 - 135.6 - So excited this morning, and not even because of the scale (though I’m very happy to be under 136 again). Last night my husband surprised me with my Christmas present early - a Series 6 Apple Watch! I’d been using his old Series 1 after he got a new one last year; it worked fine and I really liked it, but I was really interested in the new Apple Fitness + that was coming out and you needed a Series 3 and up to use it. So Apple Fitness + launched yesterday... and he got me the new watch so I could get it! I tried two workouts this morning - a HIIT and a Strength training - and LOVED it. It was absolutely adorable with the kids trying to do it with me too. I’m not going to stop doing Ring Fit and Just Dance, but this is an awesome new option for me.
12/16 - 134.4 - That’s a nice whoosh! I needed that this morning. It’s so much harder to resist all the cookies and candy when you aren’t seeing progress on the scale.
12/17 - 134.6 - I always seem to have a tiny bump up after a big drop. I guess it’s just my body adjusting. I did a HIIT workout this morning and I definitely felt it! Hopefully mixing it up with new workouts and higher intensity will help me keep up a slow decrease until Christmas.

Goal: At least 15 minutes of yoga before bed each night
12/13 - 15 minutes of yoga and mindful breathing before bed.
12/14 - Skipped last night - too tired and fussy toddler again. Committing to doing it tonight.
12/15 - Did 12 minutes of yoga and about 5 of deep breathing before bed. Days have still been challenging with my 5 year old, but I do think this is helping. It’s helping me sleep, at least, which also results in a calmer me during the day!
12/16 - I had such a better day yesterday. Did 20 minutes of yoga before bed - I hope to find one of the Apple Fitness + yoga programs to be good for winding down for sleep.
12/17 - Does deep breathing while rocking a crying toddler at 1 AM count?

Day/Weight/Comment
12/12 …..204.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/13 …..203.2 ….. A nice little drop to start this round. I stuck to low calorie and carb yesterday until the peanut butter toast last night (just too hungry). However, due to a diligent day, my calories remained low and my carbs were mid-range. It helped. Good luck everyone this round!
12/14 …..203.4 ….. I would love to call this a normal fluctuation but….. well, my meals were on track but the Christmas goodies people share got to me a bit too much.
12/15 …..205.0 ….. I deserve this, however, bad days do not define me. Today will be a better day.
12/16 …..205.0 ….. Very good meal planning but snacks got me again. Also, little to urine output. Retaining water for sure!
12/17 …..205.2 ….. I just couldn’t seem to get full yesterday. I think my choices for my meals and snacks may have been too many empty calories.

My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.
Dec 01 – Danced 20 minutes and my was it harder than last time!
Dec 02 – Danced my heart out for 20 minutes.
Dec 03 – No dancing. Paperwork and wrapping presents.
Dec 04 – Danced for 20 minutes to mostly classic rock.
Dec 05 – Danced for about 22 minutes to a nice mix of music.
Dec 06 – Lots of movement but no dancing due to workmen here all day and continued unpacking.
Dec 07 – More workers here and no dancing. However, if you count going up and down stairs for hours as exercise, I got in my fair share!
Dec 08 – Danced about 8 minutes. Better than nothing I suppose.
Dec 09 – 20 minutes of dancing and it knocked the wind out of me. Slower songs next time until I get used to it again!
Dec 10 – No dancing. All working around the house and sitting…sitting…sitting while shopping online. No stores in my rural area!
Dec 11 – Danced 20 minutes and even sang to the songs!
Dec 12 – No Dancing. Not enough movement. Online shopping again!
Dec 13 – Danced for about 14 minutes.
Dec 14 – I didn’t dance. A friend was over until very late last night who ran errands with me all day. Donuts & coffee did not help the scale.
Dec15 – Danced about 12 minutes. But I got a LOT of unpacking and orgainizing done. And I am all caught up on the wrapping until Amazon visits me tomorrow.
Dec 16 – No Dancing. Went on errands and then my friend came over.5 -

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
December focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 135- Stabilise weight under 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2020
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
