Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 139

He is still doing very well thank you, it's his 1st birthday on Tuesday! He did have a bad week just after Christmas; he had an infection believed to be in the line which is still in into his heart and he also tested posotive for Covid, they took him into hospital and was on both IV and oral antibiotics, which quickly brought his temperature down. After a few days he was right as rein and discharged home. He is still very small; at the lowest end of the centiles, but the happiest and nicest disposition baby you could met. He is a bit behind in his development, but I think that is to be expected with the fact that he was in hospital and very seriously ill for 2 and a half months, and he is catching up slowly. He loves life and his food!! He is awaiting an appointment to have the line removed, but like all non-emergency theatre procedures it is delayed due to covid.

I remember vividely that 12 hours he was in theatre and the weeks after until he "turned the corner"; so emotionally worrying, not sleeping and not being able to support DD & SIL by being with them or visiting cuz of the covid restrictions. Not good memories, but them the joy and gratefulness to all the surgeons, consultants, doctors & nurses who did their "magic" (and gratitude to the donors family), to know he had been discharged home to his family, seeing the photos of him with his 2 year old brother - priceless. We still couldn't visit because as he had no immune system he was in isolation at home, we had to do with waving to him through the window.

You shall all be at the fore front of my mind in these next few weeks, I'm hoping everything goes perfectly to plan and that he will be home running around soon xx.

Happy 1st birthday to him!! Our boy is pretty high on weight (but with the amount of bile buildup, we aren't shocked), but he is still so tiny for 2.5yrs. Hopefully he'll get big like his daddy after recovery.

For the infection and COVID ordeal -- HOW DID YOU MANAGE?! That's some crazy rollercoaster ride. I'm so happy he bounced back and is doing well. I'll keep him in my thoughts, as well Its so good to have a happy ending story to keep my spirits up

▪︎Fr•1/22-209.5 (Th/21-1pm, 4:30pm, 10pm~16hrs) 64g carbs.🚫*did not dry fast* It was not the day for it. LATER, (too late) I ate one of the jumbo blueberry flax wheat bran muffins that I made for my son (he's been dropping hints for a week, lol) and husband. It was worth the calories and the carbs.

▪︎Sa•1/23- DNW (Fr/22- 4:30pm, 6:30pm~18.5hrs) 65g carbs.Another bran flax muffin, another high carb day. Experiencing some TMI (unusual for me), the reason for eating muffin, but stewed prunes work much better for me. 🚫no more muffins

Round 139

SW: 145, GW: 125

Round 138 (first round!): 134.6 to 129.8 (-4.8lbs)

Goals for this round:
-at least 8 glasses of water daily
-pre-track as much as possible...and stick to it
-move at least 30 minutes a day
-asleep by 10:30!

01/22 - 130.8. I tried out a couple new recipes yesterday, which means more opportunities to "sample"...which would be fine, except for when it happens after I've officially finished eating/tracking for the day! An additional goal for this round (this is for my benefit, as I tend to forget): no new recipes that require testing/sampling!
Stairs, walking, free weights, and an online Zumba class yesterday. I'm not used to having so much energy! Definitely a NSV!

01/23 -132.4. Yesterday was a little rough for me, but thanks to so many positive examples on this forum, I decided to stick with the group and with my weightloss/healthy-habit-forming efforts. Thank you!

Hi all! so happy to read the baby (godson) is doing well after surgery:)))))

55F , SW 131.2 , GW 125

10 Day Goals
1) Do at least 1 thing healthy daily (stretch, strengthen, diet or mental health related)
2) Check in here DAILY...with weight!!! Will try for first thing a.m. or last thing p.m.
3) Bullet journal daily---record 3 Good Things each day, for 10 days:)

Day/Weight/Comment

1/22 = 132.2 Ordered a single-serve NutriBullet yesterday with gift certificate I received from work. I only have one smoothie recipe (frozen strawberries+yogurt+milk) , so any recipe/website/book suggestions would be appreciated! I am good at following directions, but not so good at just "throwing things together" when it comes to food. Maybe it will come with recipes, who knows. I'm hoping this will be a way to get a healthy breakfast in---or at least a step in the right direction...plus to be perfectly honest it looked like fun and I do love gadgets:)

1/23 = 133.8 Had my hair done yesterday--had her put in some highlights for summer(haha--listen, it's never too early to be prepared for summer, amirite? LOL) I have deemed today Spa Day:) Sooooo...face mask, toenails paint, wax those eyebrows (and mustache--ackk the horror--nobody told me i would grow a stache when i got old O.O) Anyway, trying to do some self care and gathering my courage (and long johns!) to start C-2-10K...again. Monday weather says 31F so that's my target day. There----I said it "out loud", therefore now it must happen:)

SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8-> 116 -> 115.6 -> 117.6 -> 115.8 ->118.2
Goal weight for this round: Seeing lower 115 or squeaking into 114 would be fantastic!
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days 01/23 116.6 Last night I ended up getting takeout with my husband, but I made it fit calorie wise. I was a little over but not enough to wreck my entire week. I decided that weight loss for me isn’t sustainable if I don’t make takeout fit into my life because by Friday night, we need a break from cooking/dishes/etc. We got Buffalo Wild Wings, he ordered what he wanted, and I got a black bean burger but omitted the ranch dressing (saving 170 calories) and selected no salt on my fries (saving tons of sodium). I also finished the wine I had in the fridge from last weekend (1 large glass worth~9 or 10 oz). Those little changes made a difference for me and I’m even down somehow from yesterday morning. The body is so weird… but I’ll take it.
Today, breakfast was two slices of high fiber toast with cream cheese on it and two mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups melted in (I had a chocolate craving and this stretched the chocolate flavor and I also stirred in some inulin fiber too), two eggs, and an apple cut up. It really hit the spot and clocked in at around 700 calories but it fits within my day(30 g protein, 58g carbs, and 37g fat so it was pretty balanced). My snack will be the artichoke kale dip with Akmak crackers and a Fiberful peanut butter bar. Dinner will be panko-crusted chicken breast with a large salad topped with cranberry goat cheese, sesame honey cashews, and raspberry vinegar.

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.
01/22 50 minute heart opening vinyasa yoga video and I plan on jumping on the spin bike in a few for a 20ish minute ride. Then, I’ll do my afternoon walk when I’m done with work.
01/23 I started my day with an hour yoga video and then a killer 30 minute spin bike video. The yoga was really fun and I was even able to do a new pose for like 1.5 seconds (side crow). Then, I’ll have a bit of a walk later today when I have to run into the city to get vaccinated (I work in healthcare) (my husband got his first vaccination this morning too because he works directly with patients, so hopefully our stress levels will subside a bit knowing we will be fully vaccinated in a few weeks after the second dose).

Day/Weight/Comment
01/21 …..205.4 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/22 …..205.2 ….. I am inviting my friend over tonight (the one that always brings me high calorie foods without notice) for dinner. I am making low calorie / low carb shish-kabobs. This time it’s MY choice for the menu lol. My friend is a friend of 20 years. He is male and can eat things without gaining which just isn’t true for this female post-menopausal body! No matter how many times I tell him, he just doesn’t get it. Anyway, I hope to dip into the 204’s by tomorrow or the next day. Persisting……..

01/23 …..206.2 ….. A wonderful low cal/carb dinner with my friend. Then, late night pop-tarts with milk. Just don’t do it folks!

Round 139

Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 130.2
GW: 125

GW for this round: 128.5

Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
Round 137 (12): 133.2 to 131.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 138 (13): 131.8 to 130.2 (-1.6 lbs)

Goals for this round:

- Finish the beginner plank challenge
- Complete my Apple Fitness challenge for January: Earn a total of 25,900 Move calories this month.
- Get below 129 lbs

1/22 - 130.2 - Starting this round at the same weight as the end of the last one. I’m happy that the drop held, but we’ll see about tomorrow. Friday is our family movie night and I’ve budgeted calories for popcorn and a drink, but it will still be a sodium hit. I did 45 minutes of cardio this morning and about 10 minutes of weights - I meant to do 20 but the kids needed me and I didn’t get back to it. I’ll just have to fit it in tomorrow.

1/23 - DNW - Not a great day yesterday. I don’t know the final calorie total, but I definitely indulged in too many snacks and sweets on top of the popcorn. Chocolate is my big weakness - once I have any I start craving more and then I start justifying to myself why “one more” is ok. Well, the damage is done and today is a new day. I’m not facing the scale until tomorrow though. I still got some exercise in this morning despite the kids getting up early, and just snuck in my plank while they had lunch.

And I feel pretty tone-deaf and self-centered calling yesterday "rough for me" when there are babies undergoing major surgery and the adults who love them are waiting and praying for good news!
Thank you for the updates (and perspective), @CamandJarvis! Hoping for a speedy recovery ❤️.

Don't be so hard on yourself - this is human nature and it does one good to get it off one's chest - a problem shared is a problem halved?. That's what we are all here for to support and encourage each other. Hope today was better for you x.
