Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 190

Thanks quiltingjaine for another round! This is #2 for me. I’m a 40 year old single mom with sole custody of my two younger children (oldest is grown). I let stress & depression take control of me years ago and when the pandemic hit that surely didn’t help. Once upon a time I was a fitness buff. Now I’m trying to shed my biggest gain ever (more than any pregnancy) and rebuild muscle. Still battling some long CoVID symptoms but determined to get back into shape & do the things I love. Started this journey 4/4/22 at 180lbs.
R189: SW - 171.5 / EW - 170.0 (-1.5)
————————————————————
6/16 - 169.3 (-.7) - Took an easy day yesterday because of the DOM’s. I was under my calories in the evening but noticed I ate past being full. Breaking that no waste habit is hard. Scale didn’t go up this morning so that’s good, might show tomorrow. I owe a friend a celebratory dance & I’m trying to finish work early (self employed) so I can hit the lake this afternoon. 💧 160 oz. (over), 👟10,795 (met), 💪 30 min. light rowing, ⛑ +19 (211).
"It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” - Mahatma Gandhi
6/17 - 169.9 (+.6) - There’s that uptick I was expecting. Got in my water time swimming & kayaking. Easily under my calories and that included beer and a cookie, felt full all day. I still owe that dance. 💧132 oz. (over), 👟10,438 (met), 💪 118 min. continuous paddling ⛑ +29 (215).
“Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness” - Lana Del Ray
6/18 - 170.1 (+.2) - Caught up with some old friends and that put me on a carb high but I made use of the energy and slept like a baby. I’m making some great progress fitness wise & am tempted to hike my first 14-er in nearly 20 years. We’ll see how I train the next 30 days before I attempt it (main concern - CoVID recovering lungs).💧160 oz. (over), 🥗 under, 👟11,032 (met), 💪 80 min. Rowing, strength training, 9 min. Dancing & 15 min. Tai Chi,⛑ +61 (231).
"DON'T LIMIT YOUR CHALLENGES. CHALLENGE YOUR LIMITS!”
6/19 - 169.5 (-.6) - PTSD triggered again yesterday evening when fireworks startled me while watering the lawn. Needless to say, Mental satiety took priority at that point. Treating my Pops today so it will be challenging stay within my calorie goal. 💧144 oz. (over), 🥗 easily under w/ great macros, 💪 100 min. Rowing + strength training 👟6,462 (under), ⛑ +23 (236).
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you
must keep moving.” - Albert Einstein
6/20 - 169.2 (-.3) - Just about where I was at the start of this challenge but I’m sure weight will rise again. 🥗 over by 313 but I already knew that was going to happen & I’m okay with it. 💧132 oz. (over) 💪 15 min. rowing + half the day putting in a new fence at my parents farm 👟 11,145 (met), ⛑ +37 (251).

6/21 - 169.4 (+.2) - 💧132 oz. (over), 🥗 under, I did eat dinner way too late though💪 2.5hrs. Stand up paddle boarding. Would have been more but relentless winds kicked up. 👟 8,837 (shy) maybe I shouldn’t have sat around on the beach so long hoping to get back on the water ⛑ +28 (268).

One good thing about very hot weather—I don’t feel like eating much, and I crave light salads rather than fat. 😁
6/17 - 179.6
Tonight is our obedience club’s awards banquet, but I’ll try to behave myself. At least it isn’t a pitch in with a tableful of luscious desserts. Happy Friday, all!
6/18 - 181.8
Well, I tried, but not hard enough. I ate a crazy number of calories last night. Oh, well, moving right along…. I did not gain 2 pounds of fat overnight, so lots of water and and “normal” eating should put me back on track. The banquet was lots of fun, celebrating some outstanding achievements by dogs and their people.

Month/Day: Scale - First thing today before getting dressed, rounded to whole number.

Previous posts:6/15: 215 - Previous Day Starting Weight.
I am engaged in a battle to shed the weight I gained over the Christmas Holiday. It seems to have gained ground and taken a foothold!
6/16: 214
/nope. Desk jockey all day, meetings all evening/ The good news about being so busy is that the refrigerator is a long way away. One of my biggest accomplishments this week is avoidance of the “snaccidents” at work.
6/17: 215
/mowed grass, again/ Calories were ok, but a little salty.
6/18: 215 estimated because I got up so early to fish, I didn’t weigh.
6/19: 215
/fishing calories burned/ Food calories ok but not very nutritious. Happy with the number.
6/20: 216
/small walk, mostly sitting/ We had four generations around a pizza joint table for father’s day. Good day with family but not a good eating day. Lots of salt.
6/21: 217
/walk + some dumbbell work/ This weight reading does not bother me for two reasons.
First, this is my weekend catching up to me and it is well deserved. Yesterday I was a good boy.
Second, Since I only record rounded numbers lately, this “217” is just barely a pound more than the “215” of two days ago. (similarly, yesterday’s 216 was 0.2 pounds higher than the 215 of two days ago.
Aaaaaaaaand here I am doing exactly what I am trying to avoid by recording whole numbers. I am parsing pounds, getting analytical about 0.0009234 of my overall body weight.
Have a good longest day of the year to everybody in the Northern Hemisphere!

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.7 -
@joans1976, 2lbs in such a short time frame, nice! I’m gonna dance to celebrate you tonight, what song should I use to dedicate properly?4

06/15 …..206.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/16 …..204.2 ….. (Trend weight 205.0)
06/17 …..203.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.8)
06/18 …..205.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.8) Closed out with great numbers last night, then had a glucose drop and ate a large bowl of cereal with low carb Fairlife milk very late last night. Showed up as 2 pounds this morning! No worries, still feeling this out and navigating how to work around my health issues. My resolve is still very strong.
06/19 …..203.0 ….. (Trend weight 204.7) A big drop overnight. I have to wonder how much my puff ups are from water retention based on the heart issues and how much the drops are from the water pill. I take the water pill about every other day except when traveling (for obvious reasons.). I’m going to be tracking this trend. I did take one yesterday. On another note, yesterday was a great day. My glucose drops tend to come more in the evening or at night so I delayed my meals all day. Breakfast at 11:30 am, lunch at 5:00 pm and dinner at 10:30 pm. I hated to eat that late (due to morning weigh-ins) but it seems to have worked. No drop last night and satisfied most of the day. I even fit in some exercise. About 17 min of aerobic dancing, a short 15 minute walk with inclines and stationary bike for 10 minutes. Keeping it safe until I know more about the heart situation, but it’s a start!
06/20 …..204.0 ….. (Trend weight 204.6) This has been my best week in a long time as far as determination goes. I dropped 1.6 lbs, but more importantly, my resolve has been pretty good. I am navigating what is working best for me. In the past I have done strict Keto and changing over to calories in/calories out with a watchful eye on my carb intake is definitely different, but I’m figuring it all out. I am also focusing on spreading my food out better to prevent night time binges, and eating slower. I have been treating all my food like it’s popcorn (you know how we stuff our mouths full?). Eating is not a race and who gets done first should have stopped by the end of grammar school! I ate back my calories of exercise last night and I see what happened with the scale, even though I was in the green. Learning……
06/21 ……202.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.4) No water pill yesterday so I am happy to see such a nice overnight drop after a day of such restriction. It was a very good day on the diet front, but lousy on the movement front. Today I travel to finish the root canal (if tooth is not cracked down inside). It is expected to hit 100 degrees today, very unusual for northern Michigan. Thank God I will be out of town where there will be A/C in the drs office, the stores, the restaurant and in my car. I am taking my son to a steak house which is a real treat for us. Nothing like that around home! I will try to order something small but I’m not gonna lie, I know I will enjoy the sides. I will not be bring donuts home! The city I go to has the best…… oh, never mind!

Day/Weight/Steps/Active minutes/Comment
6/16 - 172.3* - 22,500 / 159. I am half way through my June watch challenge and I am just over my kms but its going to be hard to finish. Right now it says I need to do 13.1 km/day. I have 3 days that I am going to be pretty busy and getting 13 kms in could be hard. I'm not sure my watch knows that I have a desk job!! I'm looking forward to seeing some 6's .... Welcome all to the challenge!! Let's do this!!
6/17 - 171.1 - 17,100 / 100. Went to Costco it's out of town but did manage to get a few good steps in.
6/18 - 169.7* - 14,600. / 108. Happy to see that 6! Treated myself to a pedicure, very happy feet. Now I’m going to go push them and go for a long walk. Sorry feet! My oldest is in Vegas this weekend sending me lots of pictures of fun and sun. I am quite jealous. 4 years ago I was in Vegas and 19 lbs lighter. … I WILL BE THERE AGAIN! Well maybe not Vegas but some kind of a vacation. Have a wonderful Saturday All.
6/19 - 168* - 36,200 / 248. Got in a good walk 23 km. Then what I call a hot sauna bath and after made cookies for an upcoming Celebration of Life I’ve got some more to make and only tested 2!! Most of this loss is water and TMI and a balancing of some jump ups. Happy Father’s Day too all the Dads out there.
6/20 - 167.2 - 29,500 / 197. Had a good walk visited my Dad had a good dinner and an adult beverage. Looks like I need to adjust my calories and exercise calories. Have some concerns.
6/21 - 167.5* - 21,000 / 145. Smaller walk more calories no TMI. So I'm probably stable. My muscles are a little achy today, maybe the weather is changing and I'm hit the 'old person weather predictor' stage in life. lol Wishing you all a great day!!

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

6/16 119.0 GKI 8.1 Bingo last night was fun. Chicken salad and egg salad sliders - I skipped the bread, did eat a tiny bag of potato chips and about 1T of vanilla ice cream. Took my own keto cake and berries for dessert.
6/17 119.5 GKI 7.6 Not sure if it’s the extreme heat or what but I have been craving salt. Not worried.
6/18 118.5 GKI 8.1 OMAD was brisket from Dickey’s. The sign says “NEW OWNER-Better Food” but we don’t agree and won’t be making that 25 mile round trip again.
6/19 119.0 GKI 6.4 Angry Butcher last night - Rock Shrimp and 2 SF adult beverages.
6/20 119.5 GKI 6.7 BBQ at a new to us place with DD#2 and family. I ate a little Mac and cheese - first macaroni in 5 years! It was SOOOO cheese I could easily have gone totally off the rails but I didn’t.
6/21 120.0 GKI 5.7 OMAD 1/2 Great Greek salad with steak skewer, no pita. Need a TMI visit!6 -

Goal for this round: less than I started with

Day/Weight/Comment
6/16 231.0 Ugh. Been letting job stress get to me and not sleeping well. Time to buckle down and break this plateau this round. Welcome new friends!
6/17 230.6 I’m approaching a problematic place. Feeling really discouraged on this plateau and didn’t bother to log in until mid-afternoon, where normally I’m on first thing in the morning logging breakfast. I must keep looking forward. I’ve been in this place before and given up, but I’m not going back this time.
6/18 230.8
6/19 230.2
6/20 231.0 Trying to lower my carb intake and see what that does for this plateau. Father’s Day yesterday didn’t help, and today’s my son’s birthday. But I’m doing my best.
6/21 230.8 Ate mindfully last night at a fondue restaurant for my son’s birthday. Also tried a new workout at home through Apple Fitness.

@quiltingjaine I just shot water through my nose when I read your comment. I’m sure that’s not the TMI you were wishing for. 🤣 You crack me up. Thank you for the laugh.
@starrjulia8 I’m sorry to hear about your neck. I imagine that pain is pretty debilitating. Hoping you recover soon.
@joans1976 I’m totally digging it. 80’s pop is my default & I love me some Prince. Thanks for sharing that insight into your personality.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/16: 132.1 - Had my second shingles shot yesterday afternoon and feeling achy and maybe a slight touch of fever last night and this morning. Hopefully it will clear up soon so I can get my workout in today. I think most of the drop is water weight since I had to get up several times in the night.
6/17: 131.8 - Did get a small workout in yesterday, but pretty much sat around all day feeling achy. Ate mostly carbs and fat so surprised at the drop.
6/18: 132.3 - Didn’t get my usual Jazzercise workout in, so went for a 5.5 mile hike instead. Had takeout for the first time in a really, really long time.
6/19: 132.9 - Got my normal workout in and a walk. Dinner was leftover takeout. Sort of busy day at home making 4 boules of different types of sourdough bread and sticky buns for father's day. The sticky buns were okay, but something went wrong along the way and they didn't quite come together as in the past times I've made them.
6/20: 132.7 - 3 sticky buns consumed yesterday. Salad for dinner. Barely, barely stayed under my calories shockingly. Didn’t do my usual Jazzercise workout since my cousin dropped by unexpectedly so we ended up walking on the trail and the neighborhood for a little over 6.5 miles.
6/21: 132.7 - Normal workout yesterday, normal eating, good sleep.

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.

Net change 2022 = SW 380.0 EW 359.0 (-21.0) Overall goal: 28-42 lbs.In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010, weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Outpatient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO, the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively every day. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Every day I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.7 -
