Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 174
Replies
-
I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week

Previous Posts1/7 WHEW what a welcome back to work. Critical care during Covid is just not ideal. Our unit is now 8 beds and we are staffed for 12, so we will pretty much be staffing the new unstaffed Covid icu that took our place. Buuut the move has changed my trek up the stairs from 7 flights to 11 and I’m always looking for excuses to take the stairs. Leftovers for lunch. Black bean soup, avocado, and seitan for dinner. Another workday tomorrow. Protein: 135
1/8 Work 2/2 and now I’m off for 2. Since we are not in our normal unit I was having to run up and down to pharmacy a lot to get medicines that weren’t stocked and so I got plenty of stair action in today. I always close my move ring at work but rarely my exercise but the stairs have fixed that. Leftover black bean soup for lunch, broccoli dal with tofu for dinner. Protein: 148
1/9 must have tweaked my back turning patients or something yesterday cause I am hurting today. Skipped out on deadlifts and just did some rows, rowing, and step ups instead. Also skipped out on the NBA game tonight because of how bad the Covid numbers are around here.. didn’t seem like a responsible thing to do with the surge and how many staff at the hospital are already out sick. I got talked into going into work an extra day tomorrow to be the lead, so my days off are cut short. Leftovers for lunch. Lentil, sweet potato, spinach soup and seitan for dinner. Protein: 131
1/10 workday 1/3. Not a bad start to 3 in a row. I walked a ton since we are split between multiple floors and I was helping everyone out. Leftover soup for lunch and a lentil harissa garbanzo bean soup and tofu for dinner. Protein: 132
1/11 work 2/3. Supplies are really low. I’ve been walking around 8 miles and doing 60 flights of stairs at work since the unit move. I have been eating Built bars for my protein bars and the eggnog flavor was surprisingly really good. Leftover lentil, chickpea, harissa soup for lunch. Lemony, kale, orzo and seitan for dinner. Protein: 128

I was lead and they assigned all the rooms we needed to move in the last hour or work so I was scrambling. Now we are Covid icu with a few neuro beds until things settle down I guess. I ordered a more comfortable n95 and goggles. Walked a ton. My husband made a really yummy Korean stew for dinner. Protein: 131

Round 174 (106th for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.SW: 138

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 138 – I need to take control again now. I have looked back over the last few years and this is a pattern, I don't do too bad over Christmas and then relax/go mad after New Year! So today is a new round and a new start, I need to get back at it & make each day count – easy to say, not so easy to execute!! 9.98 miles walked yesterday.
01/08 136.8 – thats better! Amazing what happens when I stick to plan, calories & macros well under & NO chocolate, not even a crumb; wouldn't even allow myself to enter the room where it is !!! Just need to stay consistent now for next 9 days. 10.21 miles walked yesterday.
01/09 137 – 9.07 miles walked yesterday. High carb day as Saturday is always pizza night in our house, but only 4 calories over & no chocolate. Today will be a challenge as we travel up to our DD to celebrate her birthday and I know birthday cake will be involved!! But I will keep it small.
01/10 137 – no walking or exercise yesterday, but a wonderful day with DD, DS & their families, good playing with little DGC. Not the best food choices ! Need to counteract today to try to prevent it showing on the scales tomorrow !
01/11 137 – 11.14 miles walked yesterday, good food choices, calories & all macros well in credit. My Fitbit is on it's way out - a few months ago the face cracked and now its only syncing & retaining a few activities. Luckily, it is counting my steps and mileage, but then not retaining it past midnight of that day, looks like I need to invest in a new one; I don't like change and see that the Charge HR is no longer available so it looks like I will be forced to have an updated model!
01/12 138 – 9.22 miles, a high carb & fat day yesterday, after walk went to my sisters new bungalow to help her decorate; 5 hours painting, up and down ladders. She provided lunch; cheese & biscuits followed by cake.
01/13 138 – 13.1 miles walked & an hour of yoga. Within calories, fat 11g over. New Fitbit to be delivered tomorrow !

Hello round 174!
3rd round in a row (more before). Previous recent results -
R172 SW:104 EW:100.7 (⬇️3.3kg)
R173 SW:100.7 EW:101.4 (⬆️0.7kg)
R174 SW: 101.4 Goal: consistent <101. Go to gym twice (major problem as the gym is full of ppl these days even in generally down times)
01/07 - 100.2 🏋️♀️ (-1.2) I am not sure this happened. Was easy to keep it within calories yesterday but this can not be the result of a one time behaving. Epsecially not after the snacking in the few days before. But wil take it, need the encouragement right now.
01/08 - 100.1(-1.3) Finally empty at the gym yesterday. So went for a quick cardio + walking there and back which was refreshing at whooping -15 degrees. Still not sure why I didn't bounce but I will take it
01/09 - 100.0 (-1.4) Actually it was 99.95 but given the late weigh-in and the high chance for anomaly I didn't want to celebrate the milestone just yet.
01/10 - 100.0 (-1.4) Still rounding up. Trend line says <101 so if I don't mess this up till the end of the challenge I have at least a consistent <101 in place. Now need to see how I get to the gym with this Corona outbreak. Not easy to find low times and not sure if it is smart. But with the -18 and snow outside I don't have much alternatives.
01/11- 100.2 (-1.2) waiting for the wooosh. Yesterday was a snacking day so not surprising.
01/12 - 101.2 (-0.2) Must be salt and sedentry days. But I didn't really have that much salt I think. Is popcorn that much salty snack? Hope it is a glitch
01/13 - 101.5 (+0.1) 😐 Time to get back on track

**************************************
1/07 141.0 (trend 143.2) Nice to not start a new round on a bounce up for once. Still not managing much activity as I have too much to do at home. I'll try and get out for a walk this weekend. Not having too many cravings which is a surprise after 2 weeks of solid junk food, the only thing I'm missing is my morning coffee which I'm trying to cut out for a while and stick to green tea.
It's my daughter's 18th birthday today, she's my only child so it's a big day for me too. She's now an adult (apparently) which feels very strange. 18yrs as a single parent, we both survived, whoohoo!
1/08 140.8 (trend 142.9) Had a bit of a binge last night, I was bored, hubby is spending the weekend at a mate's, daughter was out at a bar enjoying her new 18yr old status... had a few chocolates and too many salty crackers. Still a loss today but maybe it'll affect me tomorrow.
1/09 141.8 (trend 142.7) As expected, a bounce back up. Also had a very sedentary day yesterday, which didn't help
1/10 140.6 (trend 142.5) A good day, got a lot done in the kitchen reno. I've realised I'm not a strong as I was before I started my weight loss last summer, struggling to lift heavy things on my own. Maybe it's partly because being 40lbs lighter I don't have the weight to counterbalance things with any more although there's definitely some muscle loss and I'm feeling more 'delicate' than I used to. I tend to put on muscle quite easily so could start lifting, used to really enjoy body pump classes but I had visible pecs, large traps, veiny arms and chunky thighs which I didn't like.
1/11 140.4 (trend 142.2)
1/12 139.4 (trend 141.8) Below round goal weight, yay!
1/13 141.0 (trend 141.7) Really bouncing around this round. Had a big meal last night with wine so this uptick is not unexpected but a bit disappointing. Need to catch up with reading everyone's posts from the last few days

Day/Weight/Comment
1/7: 189 Eating was ok yesterday, but a bit higher calorie as I was finishing up some leftovers. Not much activity though.
1/8: 188.2 Food was pretty good but did have a couple drinks at the end of the day. Also still not getting much activity. Hopefully can work on that this weekend.
1/9: 188 Was hoping I’d have a bigger water weight whoosh at the beginning of this round, but it’s looking like I might already be in the slower moving phase. Oh well, I’m the only one responsible for where I’m at right now. Eating was alright yesterday, but still struggling on the activity front.
1/10: 188.8 Ugh no explanation for the uptick but hoping it’s just temporary. Made a yummy soup yesterday and got out to walk, despite the cold rain, to get over 9k steps.
1/11: 187.4 Was feeling munchy all day yesterday so was hard to stay on track. Did still manage to keep close to my calories though. Hoping for a good day today.
1/12: 186.2 Was not expecting this. Was over calories yesterday, though still under maintenance. Started stress eating in the afternoon, but managed to reign it in and avoid completely blowing the day. Feeling extra hungry this morning too, so we’ll see how today goes.
1/13: 186.6 Feeling in a bit of a funk. Yesterday was ok (under maintenance), but not great food-wise.

Plans:🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month

R174: I’m just totally unfocused. I plan and execute meals wonderfully then sabotage my good efforts with poor choices in snacks. So this round … no more salty snacks or ice cream after lunch & dinner. AND no more picking up a Snickers when I grocery shop. If I break these bad habits I know that my weight will go down.
🎯Mini Goal: <205 (Repeat until I hit it!)
Exercise Goal for this round: Strength class 4x per week. Walk the dog 100 miles in Jan!
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
1/7 208.9 2021 cal (-507), 119 net carbs. Strength Training 1 hr. No walk Wednesday. Drove (round trip 2 hrs) to son’s home to deliver something they needed and of course stayed to visit with my new granddaughter. Meals were okay but snacking is still bad … especially since I snuck in a snickers when grocery shopping which is a bad habit I need to break!
1/8 209.7 Walked 1.2 + 1.1 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 1837 cal (-115), 137 net carbs, 1 glass wine. Really no explanation for the jump on the scale unless it is that I weighed in a couple of hours earlier … didn’t sleep. Snacking was reasonable. Wow yesterday just seemed to slip away from me … a little reading, too much computer time, dropped off old clothing to Women’s abuse shelter, groceries yet again and cooked double batch of jambalaya for family Sunday lunch.
1/9 211.6 No exercise. Drove (6 hr round trip) to New Braunfels for a day trip with DH which was fun attending the IPMS ModelFiesta show, shopping, lunch at GristMill in Gruene historic district on the Guadalupe River. Returning home stopped at my sisters for dinner which had tons of carbs (black beans & sausage w/ rice & cornbread). 2195 cal (-889), 215 net carbs, 1 beer at lunch + 1 wine at dinner.
1/10 210.9 Walked 2.5 miles, 1954 cal (-302), 202 net carbs, AF. All my kids got together to meet our new granddaughter today! Fun times. Jambalaya, salad, strawberries, pineapple and King Cake for lunch then just DH & I shared cheese & olives for dinner.
1/11 208.6 Walked .9 + .3 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 1874 cal (-251), 25 net carbs, 96oz water, AF. Grocery shopped AND followed my menu plan for the most part … switched out Wed & Mon menus but still I’m on point regarding the planning and executing. Now to get myself back into the green and not have negative red highlighted number under remaining calories! AND to get the scale going down consistently instead of these awful swings.
1/12 207.4 Walked 1.4 + 3 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 1714 cal (231 green!), 92 net carbs, 96+oz water again, AF. Nice chilly day exercising and relaxing reading The Maid by Nita Prose (highly recommend it). Evening alumnae meeting was a casual PJ and pizza party night after the chaos of the holidays. Proud to say I went comfy in my poodle pajama bottoms that now fit again!
1/13 207.6 Walked 2.9 miles, 1450 cal (203 green!), 44 net carbs, AF. Gumbo without rice but I stuck to my plan. Training class for volunteers teaching English to adults through our church. The program is kicking off again after stopping in March 2020. It will be harder this spring as we only have 1 volunteer teacher per class instead of 2. I’m going to miss my co-teacher but I understand why she is not returning. She is in her 70s and got Covid in our class back in Feb 2020 and since has had many related heart health issues. ALSO the class time overlaps with my TTH workouts so I'm working with my teacher to have access to videos to keep up!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/7 171.2. Not feeling great. Weighed after 1230. I'm pretty hungry. Got some soup cooking up
1/8 DNW. Forgot.
1/9 173.6. Must buckle down.
1/10 174.6. OmG I need to trend down. I did have munchies yesterday. I ordered CAVA for dinner. I need to mix the fast food.
1/11 173.6. I'm feeling better from the cold that hit me last Friday. I did a 7 min workout from Lucy Wyndham Read that I enjoyed and tried day 10 of yoga with Adrienne. The yoga was tough and I decided it is for fit people. I miss being fit and hope to increase my fitness level this year. I'll stick with walking, Lucy, and Leslie for now lol. I've been recording meals today. Trying to get back in the habit. Last night I prepped overnight oats. I'm trying to readjust my routine. I used to come home from work, change, and knock out a workout. Dinner was later in the evening. Now I come home eat dinner and watch TV never to get up again. My body has been telling me it doesn't like that routine because sitting on the couch gets uncomfortable. Time to move!!!!
Well, dinner tonight I realized I could not taste my food. I took a home test and it was positive for COVID. Thankfully, I am feeling much better than I did over weekend.
1/12 172.6 learned that pizza is still tasty. I can taste the tang of the sauce and the melt cheese. I was trying different things to see what I could taste.

01/08 - 147
01/09 - 148.5
01/10 - 150.5 - I had a lot of sodium this weekend, but Wow!
01/11 - 150 - I was hoping yesterday's weight was an anomaly, but evidently not. I'm just going to have to stick to my eating plan.
01/12 - 149 - I've done well the past couple days with eating and movement.
01/13 - 149 - I am really shocked that I evidently gained 2 pounds last weekend. I kept hoping there would be a whoosh back to 147 or so this week. I'll keep logging my food and doing my best to get back to maintenance. I'm a little disheartened, but I've been doing this for almost 4 years and it is worth it.

1/13 - 145.7 - I'm alright with this, I got my water back up to normal and expected a bump up with that. Last of the chicken & dumplings leftovers for lunch, steak, air-fried "baked" potato, green beans, and steak for dinner. Completed my workout yesterday and packed some of my "extra" stuff I don't need between now and summer (shorts, tanks, swimsuit, my ever-packed beach bag, etc) and my paper books (since I'm currently reading a series on e-book). Not sure dinner tonight, but lunch I'll likely have the leftover stuffed pepper soup. Possibly start packing little stuff from kids' rooms. Our dilemma is whether anything can be tossed now or if we pack it all and make them unpack/purge themselves at the new house. May pack some of our less-used kitchenware today/tomorrow as well. I'm off tomorrow and Monday (while BF works) so I'll have to leave some things for myself to do on those days

Previous Day's Comments1/07 - Body is still holding on to some bloat, but I'm still dropping which I'm happy about. Today is rest day. I also have 2 doc appointments (1 in person women's health, 1 virtual) and apparently we are looking at a house this afternoon. Dinner was corned beef and cabbage chowder which I have plenty of leftovers for today. Between appointments and all, I may stop by the store to grab something for dinner tonight I can make.
1/08 - Not quite enough water, ate out (looking at house took longer than expected and we stopped to check out a local place in the area we didn't know about. It's super adorable, 100% want to visit again), and TMI not quite there. Today is air fryer wings for lunch (I may have a couple plain wings but eat more of that corned beef cabbage chowder). Dinner will be either stuffed pepper soup or homemade chicken and dumplings, depending on how BF work goes (he makes the chicken&dumplings). Workout due today but he has full schedule so I have time to procrastinate. Woke up suuuuuper early for no reason and feeling it so giving myself grace when it comes to energy levels. It's a rainy dreary morning here and quite chilly. Definitely taking this as my lazy day to relax and maybe read more of my book. Unfortunately it's an e-book, but I've had to sacrifice my paper books for sake of space. This house we looked at has built in shelving for books and I LOVE it. My current mini-library is full of mixed media. Some books in a series are paper while others I've had to contend with electronic versions. Drives me batty! (And yes, for those books I love, I'm THAT girl who will buy the paper copy of it even though I already bought the e-book of it. I always wanted a library!) Plus, paper copies are just so much more intimate for me. Mom (who is an author and the reason I'm a book nerd) thinks I'm crazy and has no idea where I get so many particularities with books from. It's not her, so long as it's a book, she's happy, regardless of the medium. Dad's not a book person. I'm also the girl who will very carefully read a paperback as to not crease the spine. And holy moly, do not dog ear or bend pages or write in them, I will LOSE IT. Unless I get secondhand books, of course. Then it's character teehee. Wish I had a secondhand book store here.
1/09 - Interesting. I feel less bloated and lighter today. I was excited to see what the scale said and, surprise surprise! An increase. I'm not worried about it, I'm just happy FEELING lighter, but I was shocked. Dinner this weekend was switched. Work allows Fam and BF some opportunity to get together so we had dinner there last night (smothered pork chops with rice and collard greens) and today we will head over for wings. I've got to get a list together to shop for at least 2 dinners this week and lunch for me. We will have chicken & dumplings and stuffed pepper soup during the week, but need 2 more dinners. Think I'll make myself taco salad for the week and if it's not enough, I'll take dinner leftovers (I mainly need something for tomorrow since I won't have leftovers from Fam)
1/10 - Water back up to normal. Food wasn't the greatest, but not the worst (wings and fries with leftovers for today. Added in some veggies for lunch as well). Tired this morning, for the first time in my life (that I wasn't horribly sick) that I remember, I slept through my alarms. I was so exhausted apparently. My final alarm was the absolutely latest I could wake up and be on time. I spent less time getting ready and gave myself a few minutes to do ground work (pushups, planks) for today's Nerd Fitness workout. I have lunges and rows to knock out at work. Thinking of waiting until the after lunch slump to do those to get my body moving and blood flowing. Hopefully it will keep me from dozing or zoning out. Dinner tonight is chicken & dumplings, BF is attempting to make my dumplings since I'm not home to do it. Leftover will be tomorrow's lunch.
1/11 - Leftover wings (plain) and added steamable veggies for lunch. Plus a banana as "dessert". Dinner was homemade chicken & dumplings. BF successfully made the dumplings! Go him! Water on track, too. Workout was completed during that after lunch slump and worked well. I'm back working from home today due to high covid positive numbers within the company (it's worse than the first round when noone quite knew what to do) and my work this week is all meetings so why go in? Today is leftover chicken & dumplings for lunch and I'll make my stuffed pepper soup for dinner.
1/12 - Likely a dip because I only got in about 60oz water yesterday. I was absent-minded about it due to focusing on work, cooking dinner, and getting house paperwork completed. Whew. Even forgot to eat lunch! I did have a later breakfast, though, so it really counted as an early lunch for me I suppose. Leftover chicken&dumplings or stuffed pepper soup for lunch and I'm not sure of dinner yet. BF said he'd make something up from what we have in the house. Workout due today for NFJourney. All other habits good. Busy busy day, lots of work meetings. Will take a trip to the next town over to pay escrow and option fee today between meetings/over lunch.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/7 - 200.2 - My scale just knows when it's the end of the 10 day round and decides to go up that day apparently. It helps that I did 3 Peloton rides and a 1.25 mile walk between weigh ins and ate light yesterday. This is the round where I duck below 200 and stay there! I'm so so so close. Please let it happen!
1/8 - 200.6
1/9 - 201.7
1/10 - 203.3 - Not surprised by this. Mondays are always high because of low-impact rides. I also drank a lot of water this morning because I was extremely thirsty when I woke up. I do have to get back in control of eating, however. My losses have gone down to nearly 0 when my workouts have been consistent and burning 500+ calories.
1/11 - Did not weigh
1/12 - 206.1 - Yeah. I didn't even weigh yesterday because I didn't work out and felt bloated. First time since summer I didn't weigh in. Then today I worked out and weighed in at this. I don't know what it is but since I've been close to 200, I've just mentally not been as motivated as I was the entire 100 lbs before that. It's really frustrating. I have to re-focus and remember how far I've come and there's just a little more loss to go and then maintain for life. Come on!
1/13 - 203.7 - At least better than yesterday. Just have to get back to good habits. Weigh in, post weight in MFP app, post here and I'll stay accountable. @coblujay out here absolutely killing it getting below 200 is the push I need! I'm so inspired by all of you here showing up every day and going through the ups and downs of life but still striving for a goal!

Round 174
Please join us! Starting on 01/07 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 174
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.

01/07 163.5 ~ {Steps 15,529} ~ Taking one day a time, meditation in the mornings have definitely helped.

01/10 163.3 ~ {Steps 14,059} ~ Woot hoot a much better day. A yoga session helped last night too.

01/12 164.5 ~ {Steps 15,228} ~ I don’t understand the gain, my sodium was low and spot on in my diet, 😢😢 Today was a extremely busy day, organizing Xmas decorations, getting spare bedroom/workout organized, made whole wheat zucchini muffins. Also I did make time for some yoga a strength training.

7: 204.4 Holding steady. I'm good with this. Pre-TOM weight gains haven't started, or they at least aren't showing up on the scale.
8: 203.8 Pleasantly surprised. Carbs, calories, water were all great yesterday. Just anticipating those little gains that used to be so normal for this time of the month.
9: 204.5 Calories and macros were good yesterday. Cramps today, so fairly certain this is pre-TOM weight. Will be gone in a couple days.
10: 204.6 Hormones. No worries. It'll be back down soon.
11: 204.5 Had a hard time falling asleep last night. Took kids to school and took a 3-hour nap when I got home. Weighed again after because I was curious...202.7. Makes me think the drop after TOM actually starts might be a significant one.
12: 203.5
13: 201.9 At this point, I have no idea what's going on. Lol
Still no TOM, yet weight is dropping as if it had started. 🤷🏽

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.
1/13 - 178.8, 178.5
Aww, come on. Otoh, I did have popcorn and ice cream yesterday. But calories were below target! 😁

01/07 208.6 Well not starting out well at all. Did do day # 7 on the workout video.
01/08 208.8 I gotta quit eating that darn bread. Positive thing today is that I did get in another workout #8.
01/09 207.6 No bread! Controlled snacks! Go in extra walking yesterday. It’s amazing what happens when you try.
01/10 206.6 Wow!! What?! I’ll take it. The scale was wonky this morning so it’s probably wrong but we will see tomorrow. The thought today is Discipline. I need to be disciplined in food choices, water and exercise. Got in more walking yesterday so will try that again today. Also did my workout this morning #10.
01/11 206.6 Yay, yesterday was not a fluke. Ate well and exercised. Today I’ve already got in #11 workout and it’s getting easier.
01/12 206.4 Another good day. #12 low impact workout done.
01/13 206.4 Very tired today because I didn’t sleep well last night. Having some pain issues today but I did do my low impact workout.

@schmoyew You are almost there! We both have been bouncing around. I'm up over 200 this morning, which isn't totally unexpected with the ups and downs. But my trend is still downward. And @PrimalJillian is almost there too! I'll be happy dancing for both of you in the next week. I think I'm still in a bit of denial, but that's going to change as I see the 190's on the scale more and more and as I fit into my smaller size clothing.

1/7- 200.4 (-.6) Ohhh! I thought today might be the day. I did swim yesterday, but it was after lunch and I felt so sluggish. I usually swim after a light breakfast. Still, despite the frigid weather, I did it and was really proud of myself. Fridays are usually the day I have my indulgence meal for the week. Lunch with a friend was cancelled so I may not. I haven’t decided yet. Just so close…
1/8- 200.2 (-.8) Argh! I stayed focused yesterday but was still disappointed. I will have my indulgence meal today, so this will bump up again before the next downward slide. Trusting the process.
1/9- 201.8 (+.8) I had my indulgence meal and enjoyed every bit of it. I’m back on track today and hope to be under 200# later this week.
1/10- 201.2 (+.2) Dropping back down after my indulgence meal. No organized exercise today. I did go to Orange Theory yesterday. Still thrilled with how strong I’m getting after swimming and hiking so much.
1/11- 201.2 (+.2) Expecting a whoosh soon. I’ll be swimming today and getting back into my art studio.
1/12- 199.6 (-1.4) Woohoo! Happy dancing and burning extra calories here in Colorado. No organized exercise today…painting with friends. I’ve really focused on getting my water in the last few days and I think that made a big difference.
1/13- 200.2 (-.8) I know it’s going to bounce back a forth a bit before settling below 200#. I am a little disappointed, but on a downward trend. Today is swimming and painting.

Thank you, everyone. I know I missed a few of you. While I don't comment on everything, I do read all of your posts every day and they keep me encouraged and inspired. @CamandJarvis @seeless25 @Nicoles0305 7

@200Karen I have the small spoon that I often use. I've always called it an ice tea spoon but that is probably not what it is. I use it when I want to slowly savor something. Like my yogurt (when I'm pretending it's ice cream). Or my sugar-free ice cream. My special oatmeal that is full of healthy walnuts. sugar free pudding etc. I don't have the fork.5

Day/Weight/Comment
01/06 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/07 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 191.9) Diet was about the same but I did get in some more housework type movement. Flooring is very close to being done. Today should be the final day. I worked on packing away Christmas items in some limited areas during the work. That calorie burn clearly made the difference today on the scale.
01/08 …..191.2 ….. Trend weight 191.9) Continued progress which I am grateful for. Again, I did not make any major dietary changes (I’ve been keeping it pretty good under the circumstances), but more movement as I continued to work on Christmas décor and replacing it back with my usual stuff. Floor is 95% done with only some minor work such as moulding replacement etc. to be done. Today my handyman will finish and then begin helping with the Christmas work. Two trees should come down today. I woke up STARVING. I am going to try to stick to some high protein choices and some healthy fat to fill up my belly.
01/09 …..192.2 ….. (Trend weight 191.9) Very nice well-planned meals yesterday. Binge on snacks last night. The uptick is my own fault. I’ll do better today.
01/10 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 192.1)A ton of company unexpected last night. Pizza for dinner. Huge leap on the scale. Pushing water today.
01/11 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 192.2) Strange. I ate the exact same food as the day before. Same breakfast, same lack of lunch and the same amount of pizza (leftovers) and this time I lost instead of gained. No difference in TMI and no difference in exercise. Hmph. I hope the leftovers don’t catch up to me and wreak havoc again! Dining room getting painted. He’s been working on it a couple of days. It’s looking good and may be completed by today. It’s another temporary project to update things until the full kitchen / diningroom reno.
01/12 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 192.2) No change but it was a very reasonable day.
01/13 …..192.8 ….. (Trend weight 192.3) Normal fluctuation on the scale today. A day of travel today for building supplies. Dinner will be out.
01/14 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
01/15 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
01/16 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-150
1/7-169-Rode the horse, walked 5 miles and quilted. Long day of work today, so I made a sensible lunch.
1/8-168-Another long day of work and I’ll take a good lunch. Walked with the horse yesterday so we both could get some steps in and he does not walk as fast as I do as we slog through the powdery dirt of the arena. We will try it again today before work.
1/9-169-Walked a mile with the horse, and got ready for work. I work in a quilt shop and I sew samples for the shop. While I was sitting and sewing, my hip got a terrible knot in it. Pretty soon, I was limping around the shop while helping customers. When I got home and told my husband about it, we figured out it was my sciatic nerve. I guess walking in the deep arena dirt/sand is a little too much.......🙄
1/10-DNW-Had been doing stretches and then went to chiropractor yesterday and feel 90% better.
1/11-168-Still not ready to do long power walk, but I have figured out to ride the horse lightly. Need to take MIL to Dr. then work a little.
1/12-167-Back to chiropractor, then quilting and horse somewhere in there, I’ll gradually start walking longer distances again.
1/13-166-Made turkey meatball soup, the carrots are the only carbs. I love the fire roasted/garlic canned tomatoes for soup. Worked with the horse and also went for a light ride. Have a quilt I need to finish.
