October 2021 - Daily/Weekly Accountability Check-In

It's my husbands birthday today, and I can easily control what I eat celebration-wise at home, it will be an interesting experiment to see how much I can get away with at my in-laws. My MIL is very nice, but will definitely notice and comment if I avoid bread or decline dessert.

I'm going to be a little contrary and say it's not nice at all for others to comment on what you choose to eat or not eat. It's your decision. I'm always a little irritated by others commenting on my food choices. It's none of their business. As adults we can choose what and how much we eat. We are under absolutely no obligation to explain to others why we're not eating something. A simple "no thanks" is sufficient.

Be strong!

Hello again, everyone!!
My name is Ana. Some months after my husband passed away I was at my highest weight (180 lbs). I was 175 lbs when I started with MFP 5+ years ago. Using MFP I was able to get back to a healthy weight through diet and exercise and I kept it off for years.
Unfortunately, the pandemic has messed me up in many, profound ways that led to a Dr's visit on June 16th where I learned that I was back up to 156.4 lb. I am back to the MFP community to be accountable for my own health.
My goal is to reach and maintain 121 lb by the end of July of 2022. I want to keep on track through all the upcoming holidays, Mexican and American. For October and November I'm praying for strength against candy, Pozole and Turkey eating!!

Highest Weight: 180 lbs
2021 Highest (June): 156.4 lbs
October Start/Goal: 141.2 / 137.2 (- 4)
Ultimate goal: Weigh 121 lbs or less and maintain the loss by 06/2022

10/02: 141.2 Didn't pressure myself, rest days
10/09: I am writing this note before weighing in. Worried about the scale since after last week's restfulness it was easy to fall back into not wanting to exercise in the mornings. I kept feeling my muscles tired and zero energy. Today I learned it might be related to a medical issue, however, I don't want to use that as an excuse. This week I ate more than my allowance of calories every day and it's not like my body really needed it (nutrition chart was on red numbers) also, I got too comfy not pushing myself to do what I know I should to achieve my goals.
Ready to weigh in! 😥 ... Well ... at least it wasn't a gain 😅

Goals of the week:
1. Plan filling, nutritious meals
2. Go back to exercise every day

REMINDER TO SELF:
Highest Weight: 180 lbs
MFP Start: 175 lbs
June Start/End: 156.4 / 151.8 (- 4.6)
July Start/End: 151.8 / 148.4 (- 3.4)
August Start/End: 150.2 / 146.4 (- 3.8)
September Start/End: 141.2 lbs (- 5.2)

Joined MFP October 28.18 at 191pounds. Coming up to the 3 year mark this month.

October Weight lost so far: 3.6

October 1- 216.2
October 2- 215.4
October 3- 214.6- had a great weekend! Hoping I can keep the momentum going when I’m off for a week starting 10/11.
October 4- 214.2- it’s nice to see even with pizza and a few drinks I can still lose but with moderation and exercise of course!
October 5- 214.8- not sure how I gained since I was under in consumed calories and burned at least 800 in workouts. Hoping it’s just because of lack of sleep since I was up really late with my puking 3 year old 🤢
October 6- 213.8 - alright that’s better. I stayed with it yesterday vs getting frustrated and giving up
October 7- 213- I had a great day yesterday! Hoping I can carry that through the weekend
October 8 - 212.8 - happy I didn’t gain since I went out and indulged a bit too much but I worked out extra knowing that might happen earlier in the day
October 9- 212.6 another great day. Was hoping for more but probably a balance from the previous day.

Starting Weight (from Sept 30th): 186.2
Goal: 181.2 (Five lb Loss)
Challenge End Weight: xxxxx


************************************************************


10/01-…...187.0 Well, there I am, off to a bad start. I had a full-on binge last night so this is not surprising. Today I will try to compensate as best I can but tomorrow may be a travel day. That means restaurant meal and less than normal movement. Ugg, why does it have to be such a rough road?

10/02-.…..185.0 I worked outside yesterday on painting and staining. Over 16,000 steps back & forth into the house. 6 flights of stairs and 2900 calorie burn overall for the day. That helped. I stuck to my guns and avoided over-snacking last night which is my #1 downfall. It all paid off. Today is travel so tomorrow the scale will be up again due to restaurant meal and lots of car sitting/driving but no worries. I will quickly turn it back around.



10/03-.…..187.0 My body really seems to like that 187 range but I’m afraid that I’m going to be putting it in the rear view mirror for good. Sorry body! This is the after travel uptick I expected. With the rain and the handymen here today, movement will be difficult but my diet can stay on point. Going to use my stairs in my house for some extra calorie burn!

10/04-.…. 187.2…..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
.
10/05-.…..186.8…..I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.

10/06-.…..184.6…..Body functions worked good yesterday (finally). Nice to see a drop on the scale and find out where I really am.

10/07-.…..184.8….. A normal fluctuation. All is well and yesterday was a good day. I am so happy to hanging around in the 184 range. Aiming for another good day today!
10/08-.…..185.6…..I have no idea in this world of ours why there was a gain. My macros were good, my calories were in the green, I had even more exercise than I logged. Nothing too salty to eat. Perhaps my body is just compensating a little for the large recent drops. In any case, I am still down from this round’s start so I’ll not sweat it and just trust the process.

10/09-.…..184.0…..Okay, there’s the adjustment over yesterday’s strange weigh-in. I am hoping to have another very good day today. Rain expected all day and a new handyman is here for the first time for a new phase of my projects. I’ll try using the stairs inside for some steps and movement.

10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad. Daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after trouble at home. She brought Chinese which we split and fit into my calorie allowance (at the time). I’m thinking sodium. I’ll have to really watch it today which will be difficult with others here. I’ll have to readjust things.
