Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 137

@UTMom81 - thank you so much for the link to the Smokie Mountain hike film, I so enjoyed it, I jogged in place through the whole 55 minutes this morning. They look wonderful, obviously much more expansive than any of the National Parks in UK, but that makes them even more fabulous! Are any of the trails you hike featured on their?
I have hiked all of those trails he was on. In fact, between 2011 and 2016, two friends and I hiked ALL the trails in the Smokies. It was quite the logistical (and physical) challenge and took us 5.5 years of weekend hiking and 1200 miles to do them all. You have to repeat some trails to get to the ones in the most remote regions. We did several backpacking trips during those years. I actually stayed at the campsite he talked about where the man was eaten (that bear didn't kill him, just foraged on his body). In fact, my tent was set up right where that green one he saw in the closed site was. That was a little eerie. My closest encounter with a momma bear and her two cubs was on that trail, Hazel Creek trail, in that same area. She bluff charged us because we accidentally ended up between her and one of her cubs. We had our bear mace out but didn't have to use it, but I won't say that wasn't a bit scary! We backed off, waited for her to get her cub to come to her, then had no choice but to keep hiking down the trail. She followed us for about half a mile to make sure we were leaving, I guess. But, I will just say that the locals KNOW not to try to cross Eagle and Hazel Creeks after rains like he was in. Those are much more dangerous than our bears! I still have about 20 minutes of the video to watch. I'm interested to see if he tries to cross one of them.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 177.8 Lots of exercise yesterday, but no loss yet. Bought food that should help me get back in the groove, so I'm hoping for and working toward, a good round. I do still have some craving demons to battle with after the holidays, so that will be my biggest challenge this round, I think. Going for high protein, lots of veggies and some berries today.
01/03 176.8 Moving in the right direction again. Yay! Stayed well within calorie range yesterday with lots of exercise. Cravings are beginning to lessen. Did 15:9 IF and hoping for longer than that today.
01/04 176.6 Did my cooking for the week (well a lot of it anyway). Am trying a couple new recipes for lunch and dinner that I’m excited about from skinnytaste.com. Feeling like I’m back in the groove with my eating, with IF, and with exercise, so hopefully this will be a good round. Did 17:7 IF yesterday. Back to work for the first time in a month today (Mom’s illness, death, then holidays). Will see how that affects my “groove.”

Happy New Year, I wish you all a blessed, healthy and safe new year. I hope to meet my goal this month or next. I know as you get closer it gets slower so I am trying to allow myself time. Last year I also met my goal and then stupidly thought I was done, then surprise to no-one but me I gained almost all the weight back. As a New Years resolution I am going to try to continue tracking and logging after I meet my goal, and then figure out how to do maintenance.
Goals
- Log Log Log, this is the secret to success for me.
- Apple Watch-Triple Move and Exercise Ring, Minimum 14 hours Stand
- CICO- Eat at MFP Calorie allowance including exercise

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02- 122- I know this is bloat from NYE, I always bloat 2 days after and this will hopefully dissolve itself around Monday- so I write this down trying to convince my head I did not gain 3 pounds. I am still in holiday mode here, husband off, kids both home, most picturesque snow scape outside window, I am even attending a wedding shower today. I know I should be starting my goals now, but I really think I am not going to get my act together until Monday.
01/03-123
01/04-121.4 Well It is now Monday and time to start getting my act together- Saturday we had the most beautiful ice and snow covering I have ever seen! It was a winter fairyland outside that luckily only interfered with my phone and internet until this morning but for the other half of town they lost electricity, I pray is working for them now. I am slowly losing my bloat and probably tomorrow have a more accurate starting round weight.

HAPPY NEW YEAR - HERE'S TO A BETTER & A HEALTHY 2021!
Well 2020 didn't do me any favours at all - working from home makes the fridge way too accessible, nothing to do in the evenings except sit on the sofa, drink and eat a bit more, gyms shut ...... Yuk!
Still in tier 4 here in the UK so everything is shut except essential shops and still working from home but will try and make the effort to get a walk in or a home workout everyday and get back to food planning and putting a bit more effort in rather than grabbing rubbish out the cupboards.
But I turn 50 in July and I don't want to be "fat at 50" - ai to be under 140lb by then.
So here for the accountability and moral support this group is so good at giving.
3 complete rounds in January to get back on track.
Tried to make more effort today - hit my 10k steps, drank a bit more water, ate less rubbish ........
SW: 181.9 (on 1st Jan)
GW: 177lb by the end of round 137 - so lose 5lb this round (plenty of post christmas bloat to lose!)
01/02 - 179.2lb (-2.8lb) and 10,331 steps so a good start:)On to day 2
01/03 - 176.7lb (-2.5lb) Went for a lovely walk over the fields with my daughter in the afternoon so gto my steps in for the day too (14k)
01/04 - 177.2lb (+0.5lb) - Happy with my start so far (down 4.7 lb so far since New Years Day) lots of sorting out, housework, bed changing etc at home yesterday ready for the back to (online) school and work which clocked me up 5k steps then went out for an hours walk last night so made 11k steps. Back to the working from home now -sat down in front of a screen all day so need to make sure I get out the house at some stage for some fresh air and exercise although weather is horrible - cold and wet!

Goal weight for this round: Seeing 115 would be fantastic! Hoping to get rid of the bloat I had from last round.
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days01/04 118.2 Up, down, up, down, up. Bodies are weird. I'm just going to stick to my plan. Not sure what’s on the agenda for today food wise. Maybe some toast with peanut butter for breakfast with an apple on the side. I want to try and make some onion soup because we have a ton of onions and are getting more in our winter CSA this week.
01/02 Haven’t weighed yet for the round. I plan on doing that tomorrow. I took a bit of a hiatus yesterday but caught up with the last posts for the last round. Congrats to everyone and what they accomplished last year! My food was decent yesterday, and it’s looking well calculated today. I’ve had left over collards, one meat ball before they all went in the sauce, two slices of hearty whole grain toast (5g fiber and 5g protein per slice) with cream cheese on one and butter on the other slice (all weighed out 😊). I’m pretty full (it was a lot of left over collards), so I’ll probably make it until dinner without a snack. Dinner will be homemade meatballs I started earlier today and they are now floating contently in homemade tomato sauce. By the time dinner rolls around they will have been getting cozy with the sauce for about 6 hours. I’ll also make some whole wheat thin spaghetti to go with it. Have a good Saturday night everyone!
01/03 Will weigh today at some point. Last night’s dinner went well. My husband I went for a long 7.5 mile hike around a local reservoir this morning. The trail sign said 6 miles but it ended up being longer. It turned out well and it was so pretty! I am pretty tired from it today, so we’ve watched a few episodes of ER on Hulu and finished up a few chores. When I got home from the hike, I heated up some carrot ginger soup I had in the freezer and had a slice of toast to go with it. Then, a little later I had a sweet potato with a meatball and a touch of sauce on top. Dinner will be portioned out Trader Joe’s orange chicken and then I think I’m roasting myself some butternut squash to go with it on the side. The calories burned from the long walk are helping me indulge a bit with the orange chicken!
I look forward to being in maintenance again hopefully sooner rather than later, 1200-1275 calories a day plus eating back 150-300 exercise calories on average adds up quick even when eating healthy.

Goals: Yoga every day! Spin bike at least 5 times per week with at least one 45 – 60 minute ride per week, two 30 minute rides, and two 20 minute rides.
01/02 Did 30 minutes of a rise and shine yoga video, then my husband and I went for a walk in a local state forest/conservation area that was around 4 miles. Giving my body a break from the bike today. Will plan on doing a ride tomorrow. I have more goals to think about but those are the main two bumped up a little bit from the last challenge.
01/03 Did a 20 minute yoga video and then stretched a bit more afterward. My husband and I also went for a 7.5 mile hike. My body was tired after that, so I didn’t use the spin bike. Will bike tomorrow morning or afternoon.
01/04 Did a 30 minute yoga video this morning and plan on doing a 20 or 30 minute spin ride today.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/02 - 145 - Some life changing events happened earlier this week. My husband had surgery Monday which resulted in a diagnosis of bladder cancer. We indulged in a little comfort food this week which was OK. We find out Tuesday the prognosis along with the treatment plan. I urged him to consider retiring so he can focus on his health and he may do that. My 94 year old Mother in law was hospitalized on Tuesday with Covid 19 and a serious UTI. She has been improving with antibiotics and Remdesivir, but she gave it to my 71 year old brother in law and his wife while they were caring for her. Hopefully, they won't have to be hospitalized.
In addition to the medical issues, I'm an accountant for a CPA firm and tax season starts next week. I typically work 60 to 80 hours a week until April 15th. I'm going to have to have a conference with the partners to balance my husband's illness with the work expectations. I'm expecting them to allow me to work from home as much as needed.
All that being said, I am going to have to stay healthy to get through these times. Part of that is staying at a reasonable weight and keeping plenty of healthy food choices in the house. At my previous weight of 186, my blood pressure and cholesterol were too high and my energy was very low, which my weight loss has reversed. I'm also very glad that my husband has maintained a healthy weight and continued to exercise up until the bladder issues started. He is in great shape to fight his battle.
01/03 - 144 - Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes. It really means a lot to me. So far my in laws are managing their symptoms.
01/04 - 143.5 - First day back in the office since 12/22. Someone accidently left the steam heat on in our building over the New Year holiday and it is 92F in my office. It is 35F outside. Unfortunately, none of our floor to ceiling windows open. I'll be drinking plenty of water today and probably sweating off a few pounds.

01/04 - 147.0 - Broke fast early (15hr) because BF made breakfast for us to use up the last of the package and not waste it. Got 70oz water only. Missed dinner due to being at the dealership. Managed a deal I didn't think was at all possible AND got a great trade in value (talking $3-4k more) that I couldn't say no to. And winter sale was still going on, so the truck was $8000 below list price. Old truck was dying. Transmission going out, not reliable. We avoided driving it, but its the only vehicle that could fit all of us and driving either 12 or 22hr round trips to pick kiddos up got to be a really nervous thing because we weren't sure the old truck would make it. Now we have a brand new (2021), a diesel (which, if our future plans go well, we need and had been discussed for a couple years now), and a long term vehicle we don't have to worry about anymore. Its a huge relief despite my payments going up. Did my homework and its more than doable so not too worried about it. Anywhoot, because travel (had to drive an hour) water wasn't the most ideal and definitely forgot to grab the dinner BF set aside for me. Guess that's my lunch.

Previous Day's Comments01/02 - TOM bloat is kicking my behind! I feel less puffy but my tummy definitely looks more puffy. Need to cut the TOM cravings. Best Friend sent me reeses flats and I've been indulging on 1-2 of those the last couple days. Need them GONE. Think I crave because they're in the house and visible, honestly. Fasted 16.5hrs. Hit 64oz water. Going to push more water on this lazy day and see if I can move the bloat along elsewhere. Have 1 more serving of italian wedding soup and then 1.5 servings of last nights baked parmesan garlic chicken (with sides) for lunch the next few days. Getting brave and comfortable in kitchen so I'm planning on using leftover carrots, spinach, and orzo in a soup for lunches. Have a base soup recipe for them, need to figure out what protein will go best from my options: chicken, bacon, beans. Beans for sure, I think. Not sure about adding either of the other two. BF will try to make the lemon pepper chicken tonight if work slows down enough. Need to use chicken before it goes bad. Otherwise, I'll likely be taking direction from him and learning his recipe for it. So happy cooking is feeling less like a chore and more of something I look forward to. HUGE improvement.
01/03- Back down, feeling less bloated. Ended up having steaks last night. I was super hungry so I went back for more comfort food: rolls filled with homemade mashed potatoes. Yum. Thankfully, I was quite satiated after that. The extra carbs from that may account for the visible bloat I have hanging on. I'm alright with that! Managed 16 hrs but I was huuuuungry. 75oz down the hatch. Could've drank more, but I woke up the last few nights in the middle of the night to pee and I DID NOT want to do it again so tapered off water early.

Have been going to the gym with friends, and maintain my deficit. Hopefully the extra weight from the holidays will work it's way off again. Most of it is probably food bulk and water weight, as I was close to maintenance calories, even on feast days.

Had a migraine today, so no exercise and very little food. MFP was whinging. Oh well. It's not like it's everyday. Tried to keep my water up at least.

2021 is here! This will be an interesting round. Driving husband to the airport today (1/1/21). He is traveling to check in on his mom, and then also check-in on our never-ending condo repairs (should have been done in October). It’s a little nerve racking to have him traveling, and traveling alone during these times, but it is necessary. We have also decided that when we head down together in February, we will drive. And not fly. Anyhow…. Hubby is away for this whole round. I would traditionally eat ice cream and Chinese food the whole time he is gone, so, to avoid this, I really need to focus on my pre-planning and tracking and not bringing temptations into the house. This would also normally be a nice quite time for me, but instead, I am filling in as daycare for my almost 1 year old grandson. Lunch will be outside my home and I will be getting home just in time to scramble for dinner. Planning and preparing for each day is going to be key if I am going to continue to fit in daily exercise and keeping my daily calories under goal. I know I can do this, it will just take some focus.
Goals for round 137, adapt to the dynamics of this round, and to try and lose 1 more lb. I would like to hit my stated goal of 129 by the end of January.
Previous Goals- Get under 150
- Get under 145 by my birthday (10/26)
- Get to pre-COVID weight from Feb 2020, 142.4
- Get under 140 before Thanksgiving 2020,
- Not gain over Thanksgiving,
- Get below 135
- Lose min 2 lb during December
- Walk/run to Sombrero B for sunrise photo
- Maintain losses of time in Florida
- Maintain weight for round 136 which included Xmas as well as New Years

1/2 – 133.0 It’s ok. IMM I am blaming sodium. It should shake out.
1/3 – 131.4 Nice number and unexpected. It is different addressing dinners for one. When not responsible for feeding anyone else, my past habit would be to not cook and eat like I mentioned in my intro paragraph. This morning I have pre-tracked both today (home)and tomorrow (first babysitting day), to keep focused on good habits and make sure that I have what I need available to me.
1/4 – 131.8 The bounce. I don’t know if it is because I am nearing my stated goal, but I am unfortunately starting to battle the drive towards unplanned eating. During my earlier rounds, I was feeling empowered which kept everything going, and that is waning. (maybe this is also due to the impact of the holidays, not sure) This concerns me and it concerns me in particular once getting to maintenance. Anyone else deal with this and have insights? On another note – today is day one as babysitter!!!!

SW: 244.4 lbs
GW: 150 lbs
01/02: 244.3 lbs: (-0.1lbs) Rough start for food yesterday. Went for a long walk (didn’t track how long)
01/03: 243.2 lbs: (-1.1lbs)Yesterday was better. Usually every weekend my husband likes to go and get fast food breakfast. I looked up what I previously would get and realized it was 1000 calories! I made a smarter decision and it was only 450 calories instead
skipped lunch and had a filling dinner but I was way under my calories and at 9:30 I was scrambling to eat things to get over 1200 calories and get rid of my headache.
01/04: 242.7 lbs:(-0.5 lbs) went on a 5 km walk yesterday which was wonderful! My hubby once again convinced me to eat out (with the promises to not again this week) so I’m not really sure how many calories were in my dinner. Feeling happy and well

Oh my! I'm so sorry. How stressful. I'm keeping your family in my thoughts and I hope he gets a great prognosis and treatment plan.01/02 - 145 - Some life changing events happened earlier this week. My husband had surgery Monday which resulted in a diagnosis of bladder cancer. We indulged in a little comfort food this week which was OK. We find out Tuesday the prognosis along with the treatment plan. I urged him to consider retiring so he can focus on his health and he may do that. My 94 year old Mother in law was hospitalized on Tuesday with Covid 19 and a serious UTI. She has been improving with antibiotics and Remdesivir, but she gave it to my 71 year old brother in law and his wife while they were caring for her. Hopefully, they won't have to be hospitalized.
He is in great shape to fight his battle.

We had freezing rain all day yesterday, so worth your bones to walk out there. I had a nice NYD, though, with two meditation sessions, some reading, some knitting while listening to podcasts, some kitty cuddling. I might take down the Christmas decorations today, although I do like the tree lights on these gray, gloomy days. I had to remind myself not to step on the scale this morning! I think I’ll set something on it or over it as a reminder. Such a habit! Enjoy your Saturday!
1/3 - 1620
Eating satisfying meals is definitely making me less inclined to snack at night. I did have popcorn last night, more out of habit than hunger, but I haven’t done any random snacking in several days. Hit my goals for calories and meditation. It’s supposed to be above freezing most of the day, so the ice will melt and I should be able to go for a walk without risking my neck — or butt! Happy Sunday!
1/4 - 1835
I haven’t yet driven the snack-at-night monster completely into hiding, but I think I’m making progress. At least I’m more mindful of what I’m doing, which I think is the first step. Some days I’m snack free; last night, not so much. But today’s a new day. Today is also the start of the Ten Percent Happier 21-dat meditation challenge, which is where I’m going from here. I did meditate yesterday, so I’ve been meeting that goal. Yay!

1/4 – 131.8 The bounce. I don’t know if it is because I am nearing my stated goal, but I am unfortunately starting to battle the drive towards unplanned eating. During my earlier rounds, I was feeling empowered which kept everything going, and that is waning. (maybe this is also due to the impact of the holidays, not sure) This concerns me and it concerns me in particular once getting to maintenance. Anyone else deal with this and have insights? On another note – today is day one as babysitter!!!!
I felt that when I was at 112/113 and I was getting excited for maintenance but found myself drifting into the thought process of "It's my birthday! It's Thanksgiving!" and saying "It's just a meal or weekend and I can't do too much damage". Now I'm 7/8ish pounds from goal versus only 2 or 3. I guess just try to remind yourself that each meal really does matter when it becomes more than one extravagant meal every once in a while. I don't know if any of that helps, but just remember that it feels really annoying when you know you could have prevented things from going up but didn't.5 -
@jaccimc63 That's a lot to be dealing with all at once, thinking of you and wishing you strength through this and speedy healing to all your family!3

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.

1/2 118.5 I felt uncomfortably bloated last night. Decided to look back at my 1/1 weights for the last few years-
2017 - 174.5
2018 - 144.5
2019 - 131.5
2020 - 122.0
2021 - 117.0
1/3 118.5 DGD#2 leaves today. Family lunch at Mexican restaurant. I ate some chips and part of a tortilla but mostly stuck to beef fajitas. Surprised there wasn’t a gain because we had a pitcher of Margaritas! May show up tomorrow. I think we’re going to go to Greek today.
1/4 119.0 Stressful night last night only 4 hours of sleep.
Report of activity from previous day
*Two oldest granddaughters visiting until 1/3 and 1/4*
1/1 Walked with neighbor
1/2 2603 steps
1/3 I have decided my January goal will be getting back to longer fasts.

1/4 – 131.8 The bounce. I don’t know if it is because I am nearing my stated goal, but I am unfortunately starting to battle the drive towards unplanned eating. During my earlier rounds, I was feeling empowered which kept everything going, and that is waning. (maybe this is also due to the impact of the holidays, not sure) This concerns me and it concerns me in particular once getting to maintenance. Anyone else deal with this and have insights? On another note – today is day one as babysitter!!!!
I felt that when I was at 112/113 and I was getting excited for maintenance but found myself drifting into the thought process of "It's my birthday! It's Thanksgiving!" and saying "It's just a meal or weekend and I can't do too much damage". Now I'm 7/8ish pounds from goal versus only 2 or 3. I guess just try to remind yourself that each meal really does matter when it becomes more than one extravagant meal every once in a while. I don't know if any of that helps, but just remember that it feels really annoying when you know you could have prevented things from going up but didn't.
Yep. This exactly. I'm at 21 BMI right now. A good healthy weight, but I wanted to be even leaner and that's HARD. Trying to maintain about 9 down from where I am currently and I have to be really, super mindful. That's why I still track here like many, to stay accountable5 -

01/02 - 58.1kg, horrified to see this number on the scale this morning, my highest weight since maintenance
01/03 - 56.9kg, must have been a salt overload from New Year's Day ham, calories, yoga, walking all good :-)
01/04 - 56.8kg, only doing shorter yoga routine for now, eating good, walking could have been better...
01/05 - 56.3kg, holiday weight is dropping off, walking > 16,000 steps, but too hot for yoga last night
