Round 140

Please join us! Starting on 02/01 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 140
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

Last round was successful so now I'm aiming to do more of the same in Feb

OSW 88kg
RSW 61.9 kg {loss this year 3.1kg}
Average last round 62.5 kg

02/01 - 61.9kg...on a Monday! Very pleased. Gym done.
02/02 - 62.3kg which is not what I want but not too bad. Planning light meals today. Gym done.
02/03 - 61.9kg. The plan worked! Light meals again today. I injured my back in the gym so I can hardly move... Hoping its better tomorrow.
02/04 - 63.2kg was not what I wanted to see. Hoping it's just a weird blip. Moving better today but doubt I'll be in the gym until Monday.

02/05 - 62.5 kg not sure what yesterday was about but moving back down now. Taking another recovery day and hoping to be in the gym again on Monday.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 140 (round 72 for me ) I'm in for another round as I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.

Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back closer to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life ! Long term goal is to get and then stay under 130; then full maintanace starts and dare I say it is in my sights?

Challenge for this round – get into and stay in 120's? I've not been that low since before 2018! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference! Run 4 x during the 10 days.

Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – its here and inoculation has started! Take it when offered.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Female, 5’3”, 60
2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
GW: <200 in 2020 BMI 35.2
UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese

My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 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)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

So, it is Feb 1 and also the first day of Round 140. I got under my stated goal just over one round ago, so now the process begins. My “weight” goal will be to maintain and, given staying the same is not very exciting, this will be all challenging for me. I have learned how to lose well, now to learn to maintain and more importantly to maintain while adding to my healthy habits.

Goal for 140 - to practice none weight loss goals. For this round, to close all three Apple Watch rings for 7 day in a row. I have yet to meet this challenge.

Past 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
- lost the 1 token pound in round 137, but is was what I hoped for, so all good, right?
- passed the -1 lb goal for round 138, and actually passed UGW of 129

Running total, since Sept 14, 2020: -25.8

Round 140 – starting weight 127.2

2/1 – 126.2 Oops, not the way I was supposed to start maintenance. Yesterday was highly distracting which helps. Trying to continue to pre-track my days. Last night though, I had a “first”. I was updating info for the 24 hour challenge I have been doing and I noticed I was 32 minutes shy of hitting 30 hours for the month. It was late and cold, but I got dressed and went out for a “walk”. Well I ended up jogging, and I jogged the entire time without stopping, 3.44 miles AND I am still alive. Maybe seeing that I could do that will encourage me to start making a greater effort towards switching to jogging/running from my fast walking. (For my future comparative records, as I print these out for my notebook, Tanita BF scale 126.5 and 26% BF at 6AM – curious what I will see at next check in May)

2/2 – 127.0 Makes more sense than yesterday’s low and I know it has nothing to do with 200 more calories yesterday.

(decided to step on the Tanita scale, 6:30 AM, 127.0, 25% bodyfat. Interesting, up .8 yes down 25% - almost seems like this BF scale needs to be stepped on regularly to monitor trends)

2/3 – 127.8 Not cool. Two days in a row now. Calorie increase was only 200 calories per day and exercise I in similar range. I am assuming the increases are from glycogen replenishment and its associated fluids. But not cool! This is certainly making the mental aspect of maintenance challenging. Trying to focus on trusting the numbers. If tomorrow shows another gain, I’m going to switch to only 100 additional calories per day for the rest of the round.

2/4 – 127.0 I’m good with this. It is a number that makes the most sense to me. Another distracting day today dealing with my MIL’s condo, BUT it should be the last non-negotiable (last furniture delivery) though I will certainly be back to continue to square things away for her (Note: she is in Florida for the season). (science experiment this morning – Tanita scale, 6:33 AM, 127.0, 24% body fat – so two days later, same time, same weight, but another 1% less ……hmmmmm)

2/5 – 126.6 So last night was second attempt at running. I think I now need to get educated about stretching before and/or after. Hurting a bit today, unlike the first.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/01 175.6 Good day with food yesterday but still enjoyed a special dinner with hubby after his trip. My walk was cut short by cold rain, but came home and got in miles on the bike instead.
02/02 175.4 Snowed in, but managed to eat well all day. Did 19:5 IF and 2.5 miles of exercise.
02/03 175.2 Easing down again, yay! No formal exercise yesterday, but had a super productive day at work, so I do feel good about that.
02/04 175.2 Was a beautiful afternoon, although cold, so I was able to walk outside (2.39 miles) between work and picking up the grand baby at daycare. I really needed that, and can’t wait till weather is warm enough to take her with me again to the park to walk. Headed to Florida for a long weekend, so scales won’t be the same. I will enjoy the seafood but try to manage everything else. Hoping it will be nice enough to get in some long walks or real bike rides.
02/05 176.2 on different scales today, and yesterday was air travel day. Did well on food intake, but my grilled grouper was salty last night then I was SO thirsty all evening I drank a ton of water, so the number could be accurate, but hopefully a lot of water. Hoping to get in a real bike ride today and a walk while the weather is warm.

Love for others—Random Acts of Kindness and other things I love:

2/2 Bailed a co-worker out of a mess she had made in a program before she asked me to.
2/3 Purchased one of @SheilaBoneham’s books on Audible to listen to as soon as I’m finished with the one I have going. Already put several others in my “Want to Read” shelf on GoodReads. Love that I’ll be reading a book written by a friend. :-)
2/4 This trip is for me! Wasn’t able to get down there during December because of Mom’s illness and death, so I need this little getaway right now.
2/5 I love watching the sun rise and set reflected on the intercostal waterway. We watched it go down at the restaurant last night. RAoK: helped a stranger get a great spot to take a pic from and helped him frame a photo with the little decorative lights from the restaurant railing in the foreground and the sunset in the background. Made him happy and did me too.

Continue 16:8 minimum IF. Recent post holiday trend has been about a pound down a round. Plan to move instead of sit during work hours to see if I can bump the trend to a pound down a week in prep for my annual FL trip during March.

2/1- 167.4 Happy new month! We'll see if my pup sees her shadow tomorrow.
2/2- 168.1 Looks like I ate the ground hog! No other explanation.;)
2/3- 168.3 I have a confession. I didn't eat the groundhog. BUT, I haven't been logging or mindful of my snack volume. Coming off the bench now--game still on!
2/4 - 167.4 Poof. Back to this round's starting weight--proving the insight shared by@quiltingjaine, and I paraphrase: It may take a couple days for splurge to show up--or to undo a splurge.

@tiabirdie56 Tish, I seem to have the same problem with protein. I’m either about 1/3 of my macros over or under. If I’m under it’s easy to add a scoop of collagen to a cup of coffee.

Day, Weight, Comment

2/01 – 202.2 -- 10,334 steps, 45 min aerobics yesterday. Very motivated by proximity to a weight under 200 to get there and stay there! Today’s focus: LIFT THE DARN WEIGHTS and AVOID THE TRAIL MIX. Busy day today and I’m off to a late start. Trying to work in the more difficult, higher-impact 15-minute interval workout into my daily exercise at least twice this week.

2/02 – 203.6 – 15,784 steps, 45 min aerobics yesterday. Surprising gain. Lots of sodium yesterday, I guess. Didn’t fast Sunday as I typically do and am fasting today.

2/03 – 200.8 – 10,438 steps, 50 min aerobics yesterday. A slight drop because I fasted yesterday. I am feeling discouraged because I know that weight will go up tomorrow and I am so eager to drop below 200 and reach a weight near 190 by the time I go skiing in three weeks. It’s hard to fit fasting into my schedule and I know it’s not a perfect solution, but it has so many health benefits and it really builds my confidence around my ability to resist food: If I can resist eating for 24 hours, then I can control what goes into my mouth the rest of the time, too. In theory! My schedule is changing and I need to figure out how to fit fasting in. I may not be able to do two 24-hour fasts anymore. I’m babbling. Today I’m focusing as usual on eating more fruits and veggies and less nuts and cheese. I roasted some Brussels Sprouts to snack on today. MINDFUL EATING. Also trying another new, higher intensity workout today.

2/04 – 201.4 – 11,190 steps, 50 min aerobics yesterday. I did okay with eating and for the first time ever resisted the trail mix bowl all day! I got a sugar craving before bed, however, and scavenged a couple of Halloween packs of Sour Patch Kids. Yuck. Still not sure about the best ways to fit some intermittent fasting in and the best approach for me. Still very eager to get below 200 (aka back into ONEDERLAND). Focus on mindful eating today, avoiding the cupboard and trail mix bowl, processed foods, low-fiber carbs. I think I may start a 16-20-hour fast after lunch, but haven’t decided yet.

2/05 – 201.8 – 11,325 steps, 60 min aerobics yesterday. Eating was meh. I really, really, really wanted to binge, but I didn’t, or started to, then stopped, because it just wasn’t feeling good. I am adjunct faculty and I’m in a position where I have a fabulous schedule currently, but no guarantee of future employment and no benefits. So I’m applying for jobs I don’t really want and constantly questioning whether taking a non-teaching job that is meant to be permanent would really be the best choice considering how much I love my current schedule. It’s a big gamble with my happiness and financial security. So this is on my mind. I think I may be offered a job in marketing/pr that I really don’t want but pays a fortune. Or not. We’ll see. I’m applying for another job today in education administration/ student support/advisement that would be fabulous for me, but the way the posting is timed and worded, I suspect they already have someone they want to move into the position but have posted in compliance with rules for public employment with the state. Right now I have no idea if I’ll have adjunct work in the summer. Every semester is like this. It takes a toll. The system really, really sucks. Off to exercise. Thanks for listening!

10 Day Weight loss Challenge

January: Released 7 pounds
February: 10 day challenge: Goal - 2 pounds every 10 days

2021 Goals —Daily progress of 6 month plan for spiritual, physical, mental/emotional, work goals. Check off intentional goal accomplishments in each area daily - journal progress/reflect will reassess in 6 months.
Plan for success daily.

Day/Comment
2/1 -193 Mondays Short 1 day fast for autophagy- water with spritz of organic lemon - feel great lots of energy!
2/2 -190.7 due to 42 hour weekly fast/there will be an uptick tomorrow. All goals met/on target. Looking forward to a bountiful lunch salad with my favourite balsamic vinegar. Sunny day beginning with meditation/work-out/sauna..good life!
2/3 -191 ate lots of nutrient dense yummy food yesterday...met all goals. Visualizing and acting upon my realization of being strong, flexible, and vibrantly healthy. Wishing all of us much success!
2/4 - 190.9 IFing is a daily lifestyle for me 18:6 except that I am fasting for 42 hours once a week for the month of February starting (last) Sunday at 6;00. I'll reflect at the end of the month and determine if I want to incorporate this practice into my lifestyle routines. Even though this is my practice I know that I can eat anything I want at any time...knowing that there is always cause and effect. I reflect before I eat and if I'm hungry outside of my eating window (rarely)...I eat, usually some fruit/veggies. This gives me a sense of freedom...no ridged rules/restrictions just guidance. Today I'm making falafels (lots of veggies with sunflower seeds -herbs/spices) in the dehydrator (about 12 hr). I'm making a cucumber Tzatziki sauce to go with and serve on romaine with chopped onion/pickles, so tasty- falafel boats - so good for you!
2/5 - 191.8 I seek balance in my life. Yesterday I was thinking how everything is a matter of perspective. My balanced diet/exercise will not be the same as another's. And it will change for me as I become more efficient at whatever I am attempting to achieve. My fasting muscles have evolved over the years but my lifting muscles are still negligible. So I accept where I am in the journey, do the best I can each day and note the progress over time shifting my goals as I become more adept. Lots of sun today (72) so walking, tai chi in the back yard, weights, sauna planned beginning with meditation. Wholesome nourishing food to fill my body, soul, spirit on the menu. Lovin' my lifestyle and best wishes for a healthy productive day for everyone.
