Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 158

JourneyAlone · August 2021

CSW: 299 lbs (07/30/21)

Been working on my weight-loss eating plan.( Low carb Mediterranean) Little bit of meat, a little dairy, Eggs in moderation twice a week, and no more than 2 eggs at one time.. Lots of veggies, and some fruit (mostly berries).
I have found that this eating plan works best for keeping my blood glucose in check.

I'm a type 2 diabetic. My A1C last time it was tested was a (10.9) which is dangerously high. My goal is to get it down to 7'' range and then into the 5'
(10.9 - my blood glucose testing daily was in the high 300's to mid 400' rang.
My daily testing is now beginning to lower to the 200" and 100" rang. Once I reached a 91. Would love for my reading to be between the 80's and 90's on a daily basis. I believe if I keep my diet clean and low carb, and continue to work on my weight-loss, with exercise, I'll reach this goal.

This way of eating is not for everyone, we are all different and have to find out what works best for ourselves.

I have learned to check my sugar before eating and 1 & 2 hours after eating to find what food raises my blood glucose level. Foods that raise it high, I don't eat no more. I've tried a lot of diets out there and found this works best for me. I have slowly been getting rid of overly processed food, and trying to eat as clean and whole foods as I can.

My goal is to incorporate some exercise into my daily routine, once I'm able to do and build from there as I'm physically able to.
I believe the few ounces I've gained are nothing to worry about, my body is adjusting to the new way of eating and well start showing weight loss soon. Just have to be patient.

Day/Weight/Comment:

7/31: 294.2 lbs ⬇️ (4.8 lbs) Since the restart of my weight-loss journey, two days ago, most of what I've lost will be water. Just hope weight will be less on last day of this round and not more.🙂

8/1: 294.6 ⬆️ ( 4 oz)

8/2: 295 ⬆️ (4 oz) Still heading in the wrong direction. 😓 Retaining a lot of water, 💧 Hopefully, this will reverse soon and start going in the right direction.

8/3: 295.2 ⬆️ (4 oz)

8/4: 293.8 ⬇️ (-1.4 lbs) Finally a loss. 🪅 Since theirs still 5 days left in the challenge maybe I'll have a good loss for my first round. 😄 Thinking Positive!!

Day/Weight (Moving Ave)/Calories/Comment

7/31 - 186.2 (187.4) - 1040
Yesterday I signed up for a 10K in September. It’s been 4 years since I did a 10K and a half marathon and I thought the goal & the t-shirt would motivate me. I’ll be walking to doing W/R intervals. So my new walking goal (having completely blown off my last one) is 100 miles by Sept. 1. Oh, and this is my lowest weight in 6 months. Finally moving in the right direction!

8/01 - 188.2 (187.4) - 1419
DH made Boboli pizza last night so I think some of this is salt. He made it pretty healthy, though — lots of veggies. Also a reminder that it can’t just be an easy downhill run! All good. I didn’t go for me extended walk yesterday because of foot cramps Fri night, but I did walk all over Meijer for about half an hour of shopping! Off for a walk in a few minutes. Enjoy your Sunday, all!

8/02 - 187.8 (187.4) - 1299
I kept my walk short yesterday and didn’t measure or record it. I’m still fighting leg/foot cramps, but I’ve upped my magnesium and it seems to be helping. It’s very cool this morning so I’m shooting for more distance. I was hungry at bed time bought fought it off — no midnight snack! All in all I feel much more in control. I’ve accepted that it’s going to be a long ride. Fat cells are stubborn!

8/03 - 189 (187.9) - 2022
Oops. I had a major snack attach last night. No idea why, but I was very conscious of what I was doing and did it anyway. Back on track. My leg & foot cramps have stopped, so I’m back to walking this morning. Increasing my magnesium has made a big difference in just a few days. Yay!

8/04 - 187.4 (187.7) - 1460
That’s better all the way around.

8/4:. .166.5. . .big shopping day yesterday (food for everybody!) and I rescued a medium size garter snake I found crawling across a hot paved parking lot. Don't know what that was about, but it probably would have ended badly. Did D1W9 of c25k, and jogged 33 minutes. It doesn't seem to be the time that's rough on me - it's the speed, which is slow. The coyotes are getting braver and coming closer to my house (they leave calling cards). We are not amused by this behaviour. One night they were very close so I got out the car keys and blew the car horn (it also flashes the lights) and then peace reigned for the rest of the night. In fact, they weren't around last night. I was very tired and might have slept through howling, but those chihuahua crosses would never not sound the alarm (from the safety of the house/bed). Those gals take house-guarding duty very seriously. Going on a medium-long walk today, but not in the woods where the bear was (not because of the bear, which we are not afraid of, though of course we totally respect it). I just like to mix up my walks as much as my limited walking locations let me. I'm not sure yet whether I'll be taking my dog Phoebe or not; it already seems very muggy and there aren't a lot of streams in that particular direction for her to cool off in. She sure likes to go though. She was totally terrified in the LA kill shelter where her family dumped her 5 years ago and it's wonderful to see her blossom into the smart brave playful loving girl she was always meant to be.

@deepwoodslady @tiabirdie56 @Lilylady3k At some point in the not too distant past, I started looking at those type items and asking myself if they were “worth” it. From a health standpoint-NO, they are not. The other day I was in Hobby Lobby and thought about buying a candy bar for my DH but $1.49 for a smaller bar that used to be MUCH larger for a nickel? That’s not worth it either!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/30 …..194.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/31 …..192.4 ….. Goodbye water retention! A nice whoosh after being up shedding water all night. I got 6 hours and 10 minutes of sleep which is AMAZING for me so even that didn't interfere with wonderful sleep! Yesterday I was just under allotted calories (I don’t eat back exercise). I didn’t get very much movement in and my water intake was low again. A so-so day but the scale rewarded me for my efforts at home (even though my travel habits are still yet to be desired). Welcome to all the newbies. You will love it here! Thanks Jaine for another round!

08/01 …..191.4 ….. Didn’t have much time to eat yesterday and dinner was very late (within 1 hour of bed). No water here since yesterday morning due to well problems. Seal was fixed (???) but no one can get the pump primed. Perhaps the check gauge went out when it was turned off? IDK but this is horrible!

08/02 …..189.6 ….. Wow! I did not expect that even though yesterday was a good day plan-wise. However, no water since Saturday morning due to the well pump problems. I contacted a local plumber who is not sure if he can come today or tomorrow. Ugg. Anyway, I am being sparse on all water usage to save for toilet so I am probably a bit dehydrated. I don’t know that this weight will stick. I am never confident in a new weight bracket until I hit a certain number within it. If I get to 187 point anything, I will feel it is real. Had some peanut butter last night to up my protein. OMGosh. I’ve been counting carbs so long I didn’t realize how many calories were in there! That put me at the top of my calorie allowance and I couldn’t have a snack later. I don’t think I will do that again anytime soon!

08/03 …..190.4 ….. Gorgeous beautiful clean water flowing from my well again. This uptick is from some massive rehydrating and that cheese pizza last night (both at the same time!). I threw away the crust and kept my calories at 1275 with 503 in the green. So this is likely the water weight and I am hopeful that I can actually dip back into the 180’s soon! When I picked the pizza up from the convenience store (pizza shop was closed), I carried around a bag of little Debbie donuts for dessert (which I put back and didn’t buy). I also put the icecream back into the freezer. And that cheese Danish went right back on the shelf after I carried it around for 5 minutes waiting on the pizza. I held each item close to my heart and longed for them individually or together. But I decided not to self-sabotage and I am so glad I was strong enough. I kept the pizza at 700 calories and made up for it later to stay within goal. That is my NSV and I’m pretty darn proud of it!

08/04 …..191.6 ….. I ended up going out of town yesterday to do some shopping for DGD 1st birthday coming up. Also some building supplies for drywall project. Got my son out of the house and had a nice but high calorie dinner. Today I woke up tired and unrefreshed. However, I will try to get in more movement, drink more water and watch my diet more carefully. It may take a few days but this will come back down.

SW: 194
Day/Weight/Comment
7/31: 194 - planning to walk to/from the movie theater today and to get in an upper body strength workout

8/1: 194.8 - Leg day was on Friday. I was hoping I’d skate by on soreness because yesterday wasn’t bad, but I’m feeling it today! I’ve done a good job on calories for the last few days, so I’m not at all worried about the weight gain. I’ve read that’s normal when starting strength training.

8/2: 194 - Yesterday’s strength work focused on my core. My whole body is sore today, but my legs less so than yesterday, which is great. I also rode my indoor bike yesterday. Managed to stay within my calorie range yet again.

8/3: 194.2 - Rest day yesterday. Felt good to do nothing much while my body recovered. Today was a lot more busy on the exercise front, but I also ate a bit more than I meant to. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day.

Challenge Goal: 173.5

Ended up last challenge over my starting weight. I know it’s just water retention, but it’s super frustrating nonetheless. I set my goal based on last challenge’s goal.

Adding my Happy Scale Trend because these fluctuations are messing with my head. The trend gives me a better view of my overall progress.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/1: 178.8, Trend 177.8
8/2: 178.4, Trend 177.9. Time to change things up. Upping my cardio and adding strength training.

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine.
• in Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

August focus:

maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
Aims:

2021 Focus:

Maintain weight < 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 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2021
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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
