Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 174

@CamandJarvis Congrats on the offer acceptance. The house sounds absolutely perfect. Are the commutes to work going to be pretty good? Sending out good vibes that all the paperwork and particulars will fall into place exactly the way you need them to. How exciting!

It's 3 miles longer, but actually about 10-15 minutes faster according to GPS. The extra 3 miles is from the Ranch entrance to the house. I can get to the interstate quicker so less time on deer-busy roads that I'll need to take it extra slow (right now it's about 22 miles on backroads to get to the interstate. This one I'll only have 7 miles and a good chunk of that will be through town with less concern of deer)

I'm submitting escrow and option fee this morning after my meeting so we can get everything moving. The currently closing date is set for Feb 18th! So quiiiiick

@CamandJarvis - The house sounds great with all the land! Getting excited for you!!! Some time before moving in gives you a lot less stress and you get to make decisions and start decorating. My daughter and her husband recently bought an old house (built in 1948) inside Houston. They had an overlap too so were able to stay in their condo while the house was prepped for the move. They had the entire interior repainted and they hired a handy man to go through the inspection list and repair everything which was great $ spent. They also had the fence replaced before moving in since they have 2 large golden doodles and needed to ensure they were safe. Make a check list of need vs want ... and budget in the needs. You'll be happy to have them out of the way. GOOD LUCK!! HAVE FUN! and ENJOY your new place!

My husband would love a workshop but we just don't have that much space though he has managed to build a fishing boat with 90hp motor in our garage ... yep one that even pulled the kids water skiing.

That's so awesome!! Congrats to them!

We have a contractor as a good friend so we're going to enlist his help, too, on minor repairs. Most of it is just painting so we offered our friends beer and food to help us. They, of course, agreed! They're just so happy we've succeeded in getting an offer accepted, especially with this market. We discussed plans to update the fence. House is currently enclosed but gate is too close to garage to fit his truck and the gate itself pup can slip through. We've got a plan in place to remove the gate and still keep the pup in the fence (bonus, the current fence is taller than me! Harley can jump a standard chain link fence height so having this tall fence is DEFINITELY a huge improvement).

We've already started talking needs vs. wants vs budget. Paint and fence are high priority right now. Inspection is Tuesday so hopefully we can determine necessary repairs and work those into budget. EEK!

Round 173 #️⃣1️⃣ (SW 253, FW 249)

Round 174

1/7- 249 The scale has been holding mostly steady over the holidays, so I would really like to break past my current rut and get to 247 at the end of ten days. I’m working on increasing my protein, fiber, and water intake.

1/8- 248 Yay for a drop! The in-laws are here for a week and watching Husband coach a lot of basketball, so I’m sitting on a lot of bleachers this week. Really making sure I stay under the calorie goal and especially fitting in the protein, I can tell it’s making a difference.

1/9 - 247.5 Another drop! 😆 l don’t have a lot to add from yesterday’s comments. It has been a nice, relaxing Sunday. Tomorrow I’m going to see some friends I haven’t seen in a year(ish) so I’m excited to see their reactions!

1/10 - 248.5

1/11 - 250 I’m stressed and 2nd gain is very disappointing. I was disappointed yesterday, I hadn’t expected a drop, but I wasn’t expecting a pound up. It was a busy day yesterday. The in-laws are STILL here, Husband had a basketball game about an hour away so I took a half day off and we didn’t get dinner until 8:00. If I were alone I would’ve eaten out of town, grabbed a McDs cheeseburger, eaten earlier, and been below my calorie goal. But FIL refused that plan and we at Sub Sandwiches an hour later… so to cut this long complaining story short, I expected another gain, but I’m still pissed about it.

1/12 249.5 I’m back with a more positive attitude today! 🙂 I did some stress crying and some cuddles with Husband last night and I’m feeling better today. I stayed under my calories yesterday and I have all my meals planned out for today with room for a little snack if I need/want one. I’m doing some shopping after school so I’ll get some extra steps in today as well. I’d love for the scale to get to 247 by the end of this round, so I’m still working towards that goal.

I’m struggling with motivation to reach my daily goals.
So my research came up with these helpful ideas

1. trick yourself into feeling motivated by changing your behavior.
Consider what you’re wearing, how you’re thinking.
Act as if you feel motivated, and your actions may change your emotions.

2.Use the 10-Minute Rule
Giving yourself permission to quit after 10 minutes.
When you reach the 10-minute mark, ask yourself if you want to keep going or quit.
You’ll likely find that you have enough motivation to keep going.


So today, I’m dressing up and for cardio I'll be setting my 10” timer

💗 Karen

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

173 EW: 194.6

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.


1/7- 193.6 47 net carbs, Pelo ride done, and step goal achieved yesterday. Getting closer to my pre Christmas low!

1/8- 193.4 63 net carbs and almost made the step goal. It was a day spent in the kitchen decorating a cake, so a small loss is great considering.

1/9- 192.2 Only a pound away from my pre Christmas low! 63net carbs yesterday.

1/10-190.2 Well I’m not sure how that happened, but WOOHOO! I even had a beer with dinner last night, which I wasn’t sure how it would affect things. 72 net carbs and a Pelo ride in. Let’s make today great too!!

1/11- 189.8 NEW DECADE!! Even with pizza night and it’s extra carbs last night, I still dropped. I wound up resetting my calorie goal last weekend because the previous 1260/day was starting to take a mental toll. Now with an additional 200 calories a day, it’s much easier. Finished yesterday with 92 net carbs, step goal hit, and strength training done.

1/12- 189.8 I was hoping for a drop, but considering the big drops of late, I’m okay with staying the same. 88 net carbs yesterday and Pelo ride done. Planning to make today a lower carb day, as pizza and sushi the past two days have put me higher than usual. I suspect that might be influencing the scale just a bit.

Day/Weight/Running Average/Comment

1/07 - 178.8, ave 178.4
Oops—went a little nuts last night. The cold weather makes me crave fats & carbs! Back with a plan today. I just spent 20 min out throwing balls for Rory—it’s 7F (-14C) feels like -8 (-22). Bracing!

1/08 - 179.4, 178.6
Last minute dinner at friends’ place last night threw a big wrench in my tidy calorie plan. Fun, though! So hopefully back on track today. We got up late, so with late breakfast I may skip lunch, and dinner is planned. Now if I can get back to not snacking…. Off to brave the cold —Rory is full of beans and needs a good run.

1/09 - 179.2, 178.7
Time lag. Yesterday was barely over calorie goal, and today is planned. I’m making vegetarian mulligatawny soup for dinner—yummy. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!

1/10 - 178.8, 178.7
Brrr. ❄️💨🌨 Otoh, the soup was really delish—DH went back for thirds! Everything restarts today—doggy school for Rory, a writing class I’m teaching—so I’m hoping that will leave less time to sit around and munch. 😁 I’ll miss dinner tonight for Rory’s class, so I’m making salmon patties and roasted sweet potatoes for lunch. That should hold me. Stay warm, those of you in the frigid zone!

1/11 - 178.4, 178.6
I think I’ll make Mondays & Tuesdays very low-cal days for the next 8 weeks—Rory has classes at dinner time Mon and lunch time Tues, so if I can just skip those meals…. I did fine last night. We’ll see how it goes.

1/12 - 178.4, 178.5
Ok, two very low calorie days in a row, and today is planned, so hoping for a drop tomorrow.
